Week 8 Update: Transition to Flowering 🌸✨ 🌟 The Flowering Stage Begins 🌟 Welcome to Week 8! Big changes are happening in the grow room. This week marks the official switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage. With the light schedule now adjusted to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, the plants are entering the crucial phase where all the hard work of vegetative growth will start to pay off in the form of buds. 🌼 Flowering Transition 🌼 Light Schedule: The light schedule has been reduced to 12 hours on and 12 hours off, which signals the plants to begin flowering. I'm aiming to maintain a Daily Light Integral (DLI) of around 40 to optimize bud development. Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞 Responding quickly to the light change, with the first signs of pre-flower pistils emerging. The even canopy from LST will help the plant distribute energy effectively to multiple bud sites. Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush 🌿 This compact, bushy plant is beginning to show signs of entering the flowering stage. Its strong structure is set to support what should be a dense, resinous bud formation. Blueberry Muffin 🥞 Continuing to exhibit robust growth, with the first signs of transition into flowering. The dense frame developed during veg should result in a productive flowering stage. 🌱 Continuing Care 🌱 As the plants transition, I'll be adjusting their care to support this new phase: Nutrient Adjustment: Shifting to a flowering-focused nutrient schedule with increased phosphorus and potassium to support bud formation, while gradually reducing nitrogen. Environmental Control: Monitoring and adjusting temperature and humidity to ideal levels for flowering, ensuring the environment promotes healthy bud development. Training & Defoliation: Continuing LST and selective defoliation to maintain an even canopy and improve light penetration to lower bud sites. 🌸 Looking Forward 🌸 The plants are now in the flowering stage, and this is where the real magic happens. Over the next few weeks, we'll start to see bud sites develop and eventually swell into full, aromatic flowers. I'll be closely monitoring the plants to ensure they have everything they need for a successful bloom. Stay tuned for next week's update as we dive deeper into the flowering phase! Happy growing! 🌸💚

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Stage Overview We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach. All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes: • One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth. • One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass. • One sits right in between, balanced and steady. This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Climate Control The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase: • Relative Humidity: ~75–80% • Day Temperature: ~27 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro. The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth. With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Containers: 15 L plastic bags • Medium: ProMix Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows. ⸻ Nutrition – Philosophy & Application We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in. For me, this offers the best of both worlds: • the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition, • combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs. Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent): • Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition) • Power Roots (root stimulation) • Pure Zym (enzyme support) • Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support) • Vita Race (foliar & vitality support) • TDS / EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.8 The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job. Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance. ⸻ Watering • Volume: ~0.4 L per plant • Frequency: every 24 hours Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration. ⸻ Observations & Interpretation Growth is slow — and that’s expected. Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance. Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error. Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves. ⸻ What to Expect / What Not to Expect What to Expect: • Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks • Continued phenotype variation • Increased leaf complexity and structure • Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12 What Not to Expect: • Explosive vegetative growth • Uniform plant size • Immediate stretch or flowering signals This is a long game, not a sprint. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist & collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible. And as always, thank you to the community — the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers. Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow. Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 3 Summary • Environment stable • Nutrition consistent • Roots developing • Phenotypes expressing differently • Plants healthy, calm, and promising The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context. For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this: • Week 1: ~300 PPFD • Week 2: ~400 PPFD Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity: • Week 3: ~500 PPFD • Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive: the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready. This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 03/05/19 || To/Hasta: 09/05/19 From day/Desde día: 71 || To day/Hasta día: 77 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- 4, 5 & 6: Same tail 10: Leaves affected by CO2 in the roots commented in previous weeks -----WEEK SUMMARY----- As you can see in the videos, the buds are creating massive amounts of crystals. As I already mentioned, due to the short time of growth I gave them and the massive defoliation, the tails are not coming together from bottom to top, however, the buds are growing and fattening very well, so much that they make you want to eat them. Besides, they are not only full of crystals, they are also extremely sticky much more than the plants that I've had so far. On the other hand the smell is already super intense this week, it's difficult to hide it on the apartment, although it's something that I don't care about. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml with All week nutrients -(Nirvana, B52 & Blombastic) also Big Bud half dosed @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml with Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym & Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- 4, 5 & 6: Misma cola 10: Muestra de las hojas afectadas por exceso de co2 en las raíces que he comentado en las semanas anteriores. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Como podéis ver en los vídeos los cogollos están creando cantidades masivas de cristal, como ya comenté debido al corto tiempo de crecimiento que les di y a la defoliación masiva, las colas no se están juntando de arriba abajo, no obstante, los cogollos están creciendo y engordando muy bien, tanto que dan ganas de comérselos. Además no solo están llenísimos de cristales, también son extremadamente pegajosos mucho más que las plantas que he tenido hasta el momento. Por otro lado el olor ya es super intenso esta semana, se hace difícil ocultarlo en el piso, aunque es algo que no me importa. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 05/04/19 - 1,250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Nirvana, B52 y Blombastic), Big Bud sólo media dosis @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C. 08/04/19 - 1,250 ml con Bud Candy, Big Bud, Nirvana, B52, Bud Factor-X, Sensizym y Blombastic @ PH6.4 & 1.7 E.C.

Yoooo :) The ladies are slowly eating what's left in the leaves. They got a dose of Final Solution and now only water. The harvest will be a little earlier due to mold problems. The terpinator + bloom stimulator did the job, the girls are covered in oily resin like never before :) Purple Punch, Cannatonic and Glookies already in the darkness before cutting :) Definitely you should check these lamps because they work amazing - https://bilberry.pl/en Older ladys bloom 62 day Younger ladys bloom 55 Caramelo bloom 50 day Cheers :)

5/17/24. Going into week 3 So the times actually not so sexy currently. Euphoria seems pissed and I’m not sure why. She’s been in droop mode for basically after the first week. I’ve tried not watering.. watering. Now it looks as though her bottom leaves are having some issues. I didn’t think droopy leaves was caused by hunger, but on account of the way the bottom leaves are looking I’d say she probably wants some food. This doesn’t make much sense either since she was transplanted into a bigger pot with fresh soil that I’m sure has plenty nutrients for her. If anyone has any ideas I welcome the input. Not much has changed since other updates. Haven’t fed, but will next watering Temperature between about 75-80f. Humid between 55-62. Lights at 100% about 22 inches up. Hoping I can figure out what’s causing this girls sadness. She’s falling behind the other 2 growing with her. Also, just hate seeing a not happy little plant :( 5/18/24. Whatever the problems is.. it’s progressing badly and fast. Moved her out of direct light this morning and still it’s gotten worse. Ugh. I think that’s everything for this update. Thanks for lookin. 🙂 Thanks Divine Seeds for the awesome baby https://divineseeds.net/euphoria/ Euphoria is a high quality hybrid descending from a unique batch of Skunk #1 whose massive productivity, psychedelic impact and superior taste made it one of a kind. Euphoria can definitely be advised as a first-time smoker’s #1 choice! For that purpose Divine Seeds breeders put a lot of science and calculation into stabilizing their own re-make. Fast to flower, Euphoria has a special happy mellow impact that gave this strain its name. A lot of progressive breeding was done to balance its cannabinoids into a perfect combination that causes the ultimate dopamine outburst. Simply said, Euphoria strain and human are meant
