Week 4 Bloom 31/08 - Mass defoliation day, #1 was suffering from the amount of leafs it had, #2 was not as bad, has filled its own structure out nicely and outgrown #1. Flushed and changed water. Upped the liquid potash. Added a tiny bit of CMX due to #2 showing a slight magnesium deficiency. Switched from PSI to cyco silica due to running out of PSI. Humidity and temperatures have been near perfect, 28-38% RH and 20-25 degrees celsius, extra exhaust ventilation helped a lot.

Day 14 flower: Hinall . hope we are still green and mean. This week has been an interesting one for both girls. Mimosa Lemon has stretch really well so far and inthinknhas slowed up now so I needed to work on her bushy appearance for light penetration and airflow. When digging into her, I found so much growth to decide onbi was shocked. The side branching was so productive and had tips everywhere. I took the small lower growth out to give her more energy for the mains to use and did notice the wide node lengths like a sativa grows. I will keep pulling her down so she doesn't get too tall and when I grow one in the future , I will train her very early and scrub up during that time. Glueberry has been a learning curve on watering. for the past week or so I have been assuming her ill health was over watering so held off a few feeds. seeing her worsen was a mystery but when I moved the pots around following harvesting one plant and felt how light she was. her position meant I had not been able to feel her weight before. After a drench watering and a few days , she is recovering great now thankfully. I am having a minor fungus gnat issue which I am in process of dealing with. it is shocking the amount on the sticky cards already yet I didnt notice more than a few flying around. horrible little beasts. Not a bad week now the issue is dealt with hopefully. Until next time growmies be safe and well

🌿 Week 2 Flower – Super Silver Haze Queens by Zamnesia Two weeks into flower, and the Super Silver Haze girls are showing us why they carry the weight of legend. Despite a week where photos were few, the video walkthrough tells the story: the tent is alive, the room is humming, and the girls are thriving. Their transition into bloom is unmistakable, pistils, morphology shifts, and that unmistakable “flowering energy” filling the air. ✨ Recap of the Journey So Far From the start, these seeds germinated strong, three for three. Early veg was compact and stable, surprisingly stress-free for haze genetics. Transplanting into 11L Zamnesia fabric pots with a tailored Aptus soil mix gave roots the space and nutrients to explode. Week after week, they’ve grown strong under a spectrum of full power LEDs, with an environment tuned by hand and tech alike. Now in flower, they carry the old-school spirit of Super Silver Haze, a strain with cups, history, and heavy nostalgia, now represented by Zamnesia, but forever rooted in the haze heritage. This isn’t just another grow. It’s a living tribute. 🌱 Feeding Recipe This Week The girls are feeling the switch from Start Booster to Top Booster (0.25 ml/L), and the difference shows. Morphology is shifting beautifully. On top of that, we’re layering in some Plagron support — a little experiment to push the expression further: • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L The Aptus All-In-One Liquid is staying aside for now, since the pellets in the soil are still doing their job beautifully. EC in the soil is ~2.0, with incoming solution at ~0.6. pH around 6.1. Watering is based on substrate moisture, waiting until ~19–20% dryness before irrigation. Average uptake: 1.5–2L per day. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions • Room Temp: Peaks up to 34°C (a bit higher than ideal, AC unit arriving soon!) • Humidity: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: ~1.8–1.9 (not perfect, but plants are handling it well) • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Soil Temp: 25°C • PPFD: 760–780 μmol/m²/s across canopy zones ⚙️ Gear & Ecosystem The grow room is evolving into a proper ecosystem: • Lights: • ThinkGrow Model on and ICL-300 LEDs • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Together delivering a full, balanced spectrum across the 8x8 tent. • Airflow & Extraction: • 2 × 6-inch extractors (Trolmaster Aerofan + Spider Farmer) with carbon filters. • Trolmaster unit fully integrated, Spider Farmer on its GGS controller. • Automation: • The Trolmaster WCS substrate sensor is a game-changer — giving live readings of soil EC, pH, and moisture. • Tent-X brain keeps everything connected, making hand-watering smarter and data-driven. 🌼 The Girls This Week Compact, stable, symmetrical, both phenos are tracking almost identically. Pistils are pushing fast, leaves are deep green, internodes are filling with energy. It feels like they’re already a week ahead, and yet, they’re right on schedule. 🐝 A Moment for the Bees This week, alongside the plants, we pause to thank the bees. A photo of one busy bee pollinating a flower reminds us: without these tiny workers, there would be no flowers, no fruits, no life as we know it. In the fairytale of the growroom, the lights are the sun, the soil is the earth, and the bees are the quiet guardians of the cycle. May we never forget how important they are. 🙏 Closing Thoughts Week 2 flower, and already the tent is bursting with energy. Genetics this stable, this historic, deserve respect. The environment isn’t perfect, temps and humidity will improve once the AC kicks in, but the girls don’t seem to mind. They’re thriving, and the journey is only just beginning. To the growers, the sponsors, the community, the lovers and the haters alike — thank you. You make the journey worth sharing. This is more than just a grow: it’s a story, a legacy, and a chance to honor the Queen that is Super Silver Haze. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 P.S.- Why These Plagron Additives? – A Deep Dive I’ve decided to complement the Aptus base with three Plagron boosters. Each one has its own role in the flowering process, and together they form a very balanced support system for the Mango Kush ladies. 🌸 Power Buds (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Early flowering stimulator • What it does: Power Buds encourages the plant to initiate bud development faster. It shortens the “transition phase” from veg into bloom, helping flowers form sooner and more consistently across the canopy. • Why now: We’re in Week 2 Flower, the exact point where we want to signal the plants: “It’s time to build flowers.” Power Buds sends that hormonal nudge. ⸻ 🍯 Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) • Purpose: Enhances resin, aroma, and stress resistance • What it does: Sugar Royal contains amino acids that stimulate the plant to produce more chlorophyll and secondary metabolites. In plain terms: richer terpene profile, stickier resin, stronger smell, deeper taste. • Extra benefit: It also reduces stress from heat or drought, very useful right now since our temps have been spiking up to 34°C. • Why now: As stretch continues, plants need to stay strong and not waste energy on stress. Sugar Royal helps them thrive despite less-than-ideal VPD. ⸻ 💎 Green Sensation (1 ml/L) • Purpose: All-in-one bloom enhancer for the second half of flower • What it does: Green Sensation is a powerful 4-in-1 booster that improves: • Flowering: denser, heavier buds • Resin production: frostier flowers • Nutrient uptake: more efficient feeding • Soil health: stimulates beneficial microbial activity • Why now: Even though it shines brightest in late flower, starting early allows the soil ecosystem and plant metabolism to adapt gradually. By the time we hit peak bloom, the system is fully primed. ⸻ 🌱 How They Work Together • Power Buds → Kickstarts flower sites • Sugar Royal → Enhances resilience + resin quality • Green Sensation → Boosts density and overall flower performance The trio works like a team of specialists: one accelerates the start, one polishes the quality, and one pushes yield potential. Combined with the Aptus base (Regulator for strength, CalMag Boost for structure, Top Booster for bloom push), it’s a balanced, experimental, but very promising recipe. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Switched from Bio Grow.NPK(4-3-6) to Top Veg.NPK(9-4-8), as it is more concentrated, and im using all Top Crop products She keeps growing like a monster, it is the kind of plant that would be perfect as mother... But that is not possible at the moment, maybe next years when i have my own property... Good Vibezzzzz

This week, I made some significant advancements in the growth of the plants. I increased the nutrient strength to full strength, providing them with the necessary elements for healthy development. The plants responded positively to the increased nutrition and are thriving, exhibiting robust growth and vibrant foliage. In addition, I performed topping on the plants to initiate the main-lining process.

Buds are looking good and building good. I am amazedthinking Ihave another five weeks of flower. Looking forward to this. Backed off the nutrients a bit. I think I will taper off even more and let the plant use up what is left. Did a bit of defoilation, plants look better. The buds are stinky, as much care I took, my arms still endedup smelling like buds. I kept smelling the buds on my arms for hours. Gotta love it. Freed up some room in the flower room and rearranged the plants. Adjusted the height so the canopy is even. Now all the ASD are now under the lights. Happy days. Thanks for looking.

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 6 The two of these are growing very interesting. One is stacking and bushing up quite nicely and the other almost completely opposite. There's alot more stretch on the one and very weird flower formation. I'll let it grow and see what happens but not sure really what to expect. Very pretty color purple on the one but temps have been super cold this past week as we've had a blizzard come through so I put a oil heater in the tent as it was getting way to cold and had me worried. Happy Growing

Nice flowering stretch time to see some buds soon i guess. It has stretched nicely i guess during the flowering period. I have upgraded the tent size to 1m x 1m x 2m and seems to be better air flow and humidity levels. Also changed the hygrometer to a AirComfort bluetooth wireless monitor which gives great detailed information on temps and humidity as per picture added. Finally pistils have developed cant wait to see bud sites.

Week 8: Embracing Ease and Precision with the Tent-X Controller As we enter Week 8 of our cultivation journey with Panty Punch Auto, the spotlight shines brightly on the remarkable performance of the Tent-X controller. With its intuitive navigation and user-friendly interface, the Tent-X has revolutionized our grow environment management, surpassing even the capabilities of its predecessor, the Hydro-X. This week's report delves into the seamless integration of the Tent-X controller, alongside close inspections of our thriving botanical beauty as she approaches the final stages of her growth cycle. The Tent-X controller has truly been a game-changer in our cultivation arsenal, offering unparalleled ease and convenience in environmental control. With its simple yet sophisticated design, navigating through the various settings and parameters has never been easier. From adjusting temperature and humidity levels to fine-tuning lighting schedules and CO2 concentrations, the Tent-X empowers us to create the optimal conditions for Panty Punch Auto's continued success with just a few clicks. Amidst the advanced technology at our fingertips, our diligent attention to detail remains a cornerstone of our cultivation philosophy. Close inspections of Panty Punch Auto reveal a plant that must surely think we're aliens, constantly hovering and examining her every leaf and bud. Yet, this meticulous approach is essential as she enters the final stretch of her growth cycle. Trichomes are gradually changing colors, signaling the onset of maturity, but we remain vigilant, ensuring she reaches her full potential before harvest. Panty Punch Auto stands as a true beauty, her branches adorned with glistening trichomes that resemble a blanket of snow. As we monitor her progress, the TM+ Pro app serves as our faithful companion, storing and organizing invaluable data for our analysis. From nutrient levels to environmental conditions, the app provides a comprehensive snapshot of our grow environment, allowing us to make informed decisions with ease.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

. YEAR 5 - 1st quarter ---------------------- The 5th season begins with the same setup. The novelty of this season is the substrate: from this point on, all my indoor grows will be done in coco coir. Five Northern Lights plants, 2 from RQS indoor and 3 from Zamnesia outdoor, take up the first quarter. With 5 plants, they will produce 212 g. For the first time, one of them alone exceeds 100 g. Second award on GD: 9th place in the DOTW 🙏

At the beginning of the second week, one of them started to completely freak out and mutated with all the impossible possible symptoms on the leaf pattern. I think maybe the soil life, i.e. the microbiome, was still too busy in the process of conversion and metabolism. And experience has shown that the Trichoderma bacteria usually take different amounts of time to symbiotize with the seedling and substrate. Also Myccorhiza.

Flower Week 4 Day 28 to 34 - 3/12 to 3/18 Just monitoring now. All seems okay so far, just a few minor adjustments of the rings Feed this week was 1.25 gallons two times with about 4 days between. 750ppm total before add-ins. I used 750ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to all feeds. PH balance this week was 6.5. I plan to feed the same amounts again next week and 6.5ph and 6.6 by week 7, when I also plan to start flushing with reduced nutes and HP2 again.

Finishing up beautifully and really happy with all 3 plants. Yield is looking a little less than I expected but it was only a hunt for the right pheno so I am still very happy.
