The blueberry will be harvested 3 weeks before the death bubba. Luckily a friend will let me use his dry room. I’m thinking 2 more weeks and she will be ready. The death bubba is doing well but the one in the back that seemed to grow the fastest has been showing some deficiencies on the leaves

Como bien dicen los de Sensi seeds esta variedad de White Label tiene entre 7 - 10 semanas de floración, por lo que mire una a una con un microscopio y estában casi a punto para cortarlas, realice un lavado del sustrato y ya se estan secando, volvere a regar con agua solo (ec 0,06) y cuando sequen de nuevo serán cosechadas, una variedad más que recomendable se quedan todas las plantas a la misma altura, distancia internodal muy buena, mucha resina y se ve buena producción, abrá que esperar a ver cuando pierdan el agua para hablar de la producción con un criterio más serio, el olor es a plátano maduro bastante fuerte a partir de la 6ª semana, en pocos días cosecharé, buenos humos👌

Esta semana todo sigue acorde lo esperado, las flores empiezan a invadir mi jardín y ya se ven las primeras capas de resina. He hecho una segunda poda de bajos, rellenado tierra y sujetado varías de ellas a sus tutores. Varios días han pasado demasiado frío tras apagarse las luces, nada bueno para ellas, pero he conseguido un mini calefactor cerámico que lo está combatiendo muy bien. Espero que la próxima semana siga la invasión de flores en mi jardín

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North Week 8 from Seed | Week 4 Flower Another chapter unfolds in the frozen north. For anyone joining this diary now, here is a quick recap of how we arrived here. This run explores Animal Mints grown primarily under a 12/12 cycle from seed, allowing the plants to naturally express their structure while moving efficiently into flowering. Most of the plants followed this path from the beginning, with one small exception in the room — a plant that spent about two weeks in vegetative light before joining the 12/12 cycle. Interestingly, that plant ended up being the smallest of the group, showing how genetics and environmental response can sometimes surprise us. But despite those differences, the room now feels unified. The canopy is alive, vibrant, and moving together into the deeper stages of flowering. This week has been a big one. With more than 300 photos captured, the goal was to document every angle of development — structure, branching, flower sites, and canopy behavior — as the plants continue their journey through bloom. ⸻ Environmental Snapshot The room is currently running with fairly aggressive parameters, but supported by strong airflow and active air exchange. Current conditions • Canopy temperature: ~28°C (gradually tapering toward 26°C) • Relative humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing toward ~60%) • CO₂: 1000+ ppm through passive enrichment • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol across the canopy These values are slightly on the upper edge of traditional recommendations, but with strong airflow and healthy transpiration, the plants are responding very well. Air movement remains one of the most important elements in this environment. The goal over the next weeks will be to gradually tighten the climate window as flowers develop further. ⸻ Light Strategy The lighting across the canopy currently ranges between: 800 and 1300 PPFD This allows the plants to maintain strong metabolic activity without excessive stress during early flower development. Additionally, we run a 15-minute red light pulse after lights off. This small far-red window helps accelerate the phytochrome transition between light cycles, effectively signaling nightfall to the plants and assisting the flowering rhythm. It is a subtle adjustment, but one that helps maintain consistent flowering signals. ⸻ Under-Canopy Lighting One of the key elements of this room is the use of under-canopy lighting. As plants grow bushier and develop dense foliage, the lower zones of the plant often receive very little light. Under-canopy lighting helps: • increase light penetration to lower bud sites • reduce excessive shading • maintain photosynthetic activity deeper into the plant • improve overall bud development throughout the structure Combined with careful defoliation and strong airflow, this approach helps keep the entire plant active rather than only the top canopy. ⸻ Airflow — The Invisible Engine Airflow is one of the most underestimated tools in indoor cultivation. In this room we rely heavily on constant air circulation and active air exchange. This helps: • regulate leaf temperature • support transpiration • prevent humidity pockets inside the canopy • strengthen plant structure • reduce risk of fungal pressure Plants are living organisms interacting with their environment, and air movement is part of that conversation. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The plants are currently feeding very actively. Feed EC: ~2.4 Soil EC: ~0.9 This indicates that the plants are absorbing nutrients efficiently from the medium. As long as the plants continue eating and the runoff remains stable, the feeding program stays consistent. If nutrient uptake slows or runoff EC begins climbing, adjustments will be made accordingly. For now, the system remains balanced and responsive. ⸻ Nutrient Recipe Current weekly top feed includes: • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom (base nutrient) • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar where applicable) At this stage of flowering, foliar applications are used sparingly. Once flowers begin forming, keeping the canopy dry becomes increasingly important. ⸻ Why Add Power Buds + Green Sensation As plants transition fully into the flowering stage, the goal shifts from structural growth toward flower formation and metabolic support. Power Buds helps stimulate the plant’s flowering response and encourages the development of early bud sites. Green Sensation acts as a metabolic enhancer, supporting: • bud density • terpene production • nutrient transport • overall plant energy during bloom Together, these additives help guide the plant’s resources toward productive flower development. ⸻ Mixing Order — Why It Matters One of the small details that can make a big difference in nutrient stability is the order of mixing. Our mixing process always follows the same structure: 1. CalMag Pro first 2. Base nutrient (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives CalMag is added first until the base EC reaches around 0.7. This creates a stable mineral foundation for the rest of the solution. After that the base nutrient and additives are introduced gradually. Proper mixing order helps prevent nutrient precipitation and instability, keeping the solution balanced and available for the plants. In simple terms: Chemistry matters. ⸻ Defoliation Update This week also included selective defoliation. Some plants had not yet received any canopy thinning, and their structure had become quite dense. Those plants were defoliated more deeply than the others to restore: • airflow inside the canopy • light penetration • structural balance Despite the heavier pruning, the plants responded beautifully. Leaves remain vibrant, growth continues strong, and the canopy quickly reorganizes itself. ⸻ Structural Observations Across the room, the Animal Mints plants show distinct structural expressions. Some lean toward tighter node spacing and compact branching, while others stretch slightly more. These differences highlight the diversity within the genetic expression of the cultivar. Yet despite those differences, all plants are developing healthy flower sites and strong green foliage. ⸻ What To Expect Next Over the next weeks we expect: • vertical stretch slowing down • bud stacking intensifying • resin development beginning • stronger aroma expression Environmental parameters will gradually shift toward slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity as flowers continue forming. The focus will remain on airflow, canopy balance, and metabolic stability. ⸻ Gratitude Before closing this update, a moment of appreciation. To the long-time followers, the OG readers, the new growers discovering this diary, the skeptics, the critics, the silent observers, and everyone who spends time following these plants. Thank you. Gratitude as well to: • the platform hosting these diaries • the sponsors supporting the work • the genetics that make these explorations possible • and everyone contributing to the community. If you are here reading, learning, questioning, or simply watching quietly… You are part of this journey. ⸻ The legends of the frozen north continue. 🌿❄️ 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Been another smooth week. A few of the plants are starting to show signs that they are moving towards to finish line. Seeing some swelling, pistils starting to brown, and some beautiful purples coming out in some of the buds. Been debating on giving them a dose of dry koolbloom, but I will probably just keep them running on the maxibloom until flush since they look pretty happy. Thos candy cane is popping up a lot of deep purple tones but I'm not really liking the lack of swelling in the calyxes at this point. She has a nice sweet candy aroma, but I am thinking she will be the loser of this grow when judging bag appeal alone. Hoping she puffs up over the next week or so.

Woche 6 --- Sie stretcht sich ordentlich. Momentan verschiebe ich nur die Lampe nach oben und fülle den Wassertank auf. Letzte Woche hat sie ca 9 Liter verbraucht. Hoffentlich wird sie nicht zu hoch, aber zur Not wird sie halt geknickt. Sobald der Stretch durch ist werde ich sie zwecks schimmelprävention Brutal entlauben müssen .

Journal de Culture : Frost 1 (Début Semaine 4) ​Génétique : Frostbanger (F2 Perso) | Système : Autopot 20L ​📣 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à toutes les personnes qui suivent ce journal depuis le début ! Un merci tout particulier à @Mia_BIOTABS et à @Mrs_Larimar pour leurs précieux conseils et leur accompagnement. Merci à tous pour votre soutien ! ​🛠️ Configuration Technique ​Éclairage : Lumatek ATS 300W Pro (réglé à 75%) ​Distance lampe/canopée : 65 cm ​Climat : Jour : 25°C / Nuit : 21°C ​Humidité (HR) : 50% ​📅 Évolution & Entretien : ​État de la plante : La croissance reste foudroyante. La plante a encore pris une belle ampleur et montre une santé de fer avec un vert éclatant et des tiges très vigoureuses. ​Hauteur actuelle : 46 cm (après palissage) ​Vigueur : Le tronc principal est massif et les branches secondaires sont extrêmement développées, ce qui m'a poussé à intervenir pour optimiser l'espace. ​Travail sur la plante : ​LST & Structure : J'ai décidé d'abandonner les clips de palissage dont je ne suis pas fan. Je suis revenu à mes bonnes vieilles ficelles pour un contrôle plus précis. ​Optimisation : le 04/05 ,Hier, j'ai effectué un gros travail de LST combiné à un léger effeuillage. L'objectif était de créer une structure beaucoup plus aérée pour laisser la lumière pénétrer jusqu'au cœur de la plante et favoriser les sites de floraison secondaires. ​Observations : J'ai l'impression que la demoiselle commence doucement à vouloir passer en préfloraison. Les sommets s'éclaircissent et changent de texture... on en aura le cœur net dans les prochains jours ! ​Gestion du système et nutriment : je n'ai rien donné Le substrat continue de travailler en symbiose avec les Biotabs. L'arrosage au Bactrex a visiblement boosté la vie du sol, la plante répondant parfaitement à chaque manipulation. ​Résumé de la situation : La plante occupe désormais une belle surface. Le palissage permet de maintenir une canopée homogène malgré la poussée verticale. Les ramifications sont solides et bien espacées, ce qui promet une circulation d'air optimale pour la suite des événements. On sent que le "stretch" est imminent ! ​À bientôt pour la suite !

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online.
