Switched the autoflowers to another tent to give them 300 watts of led everything is growing fine

Die Farbenpracht wird immer intensiver wie auch die Harzproduktion. Ein paar orange Stigmen bei einer der Frozen Biscotti sind zu erkennen. Ansonsten werden die Blüten nur dicker und fester. Bei leichtem Kontakt mit den Blüten sind die Finger direkt heftig ölig und klebrig. Ich freu mich schon auf die Ernte

**3RD UPDATE** looks like my work pairs off a little. My babies have grown tremendously. Day 12 and I feel pretty good about how things are going **2ND UPDATE** I ordered smart plug for my outlet where my grow tent is pulling power from. I have my lights automatically turning off for 4 hours everyday from 12-4, while is still in vegatative mode **UPDATE** so, my grow is coming along fine, but I think it could be better. I’m noticing a lot of week 2s from journals of the same strain, and mine looks either a little behind or a lot behind, depending on soil/soilless. I think my light distance has a lot to play with it. I had my light relatively high, almost 2 and a half feet above my plants. I dropped it down to about about 18 inches, as low as possible, while still covering my grow area. If anyone can provide any advice or opinions, it’d be greatly appreciated. I hope this week will be a lot of growth, fingers crossed.** So, it’s officially week 2 of my grow. I’m pretty excited! I have 3 Six Shooters growing....all 3 germinated,,,2 are growing and reaching, 1 is a little behind, though I’m not too concerned about her. They all are growing their 2nd pair of leaves, and I don’t expect much activity this week, although I will still try to update daily. I had a great Saturday, wake n bake sesh...then I took some of you guys advice and went to my local hydroponics/garden store....and realized quickly how much I was spending online vs shopping local. On top of that, I got a nice 30 minute lecture from one of the staff about everything. To my surprise, they start seedlings and small plants there too, aside from basil and your other herbs, if you know what I mean. So they have everything a gardener would need! I was told to transport gradual sizes....basically....like I’m planning to use 3 gallon pots right? But, I can’t go from my seedling container to a 3 pot gallon straight like that. It’s bad for the plant and extremely risky. You’ll have to water that whole pot, but with the seedling or small plant only having so many roots, it would end up basically flooding the plant out. So you move up gradually. I’ll get back to that later. The soil I was using was extremely basic; Lowe’s soil, and vermiculite mix that I blended 2 parts to 1, respectively. It was a good enough medium to sprout my seedlings and get them started, but I knew I needed more. So the guy helping me hooked me up with a 2 cubic feet/15 gallon bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil. I told him I was on a site (ours) where the community is pretty interactive/helpful and how I was concerned about transplanting because of the risks...He shows me this stuff called Myko, which is a root enhancer. He then transplanted a basil seedling to a larger container. Before placing it in the pre-made hole he created, he sprinkled some Myko on the roots AND in the transplanting hole (? I might have made that term up). It promotes root growth and enhances root strength as well, which not only counters transplant shock, but pretty much puts your roots on steroids. I bought a bag of that. When it’s time for flowering, I’ll be using Strawberry Fields potting soil. I went ahead and purchased other containers as well, up to the 3 gallon fabric pots which will be the plants’ final destination. I told him my water feeding schedule, water every day, water/notes on alternating days. He was a fan of it, and suggested that I go a little further and do my days like this: FEED, FEED, WATER, and so on. I purchased Cali-Mag to make sure I have enough calcium going on. I went ahead and got a PH kit as well, to make sure my water and nute days are both within 5.5-6.5 pH. I slick felt like I was in high school science/chemistry all over again lol. I went ahead and bought coated metal flower support wires for LST. He did mention doing “supertopping”, but forgot to show me on a plant. Basically, it’s gently bending the main cola back and forth until you can have it bent in a ways to where you can maneuver it under netting/lattice to allow other cola to get equal/adequate energy and/or growth. I’m paraphrasing this shit, so by all means, correct me. I’m just hoping I can help someone else. I transplanted my plants to GroPro Square 4 x 4 x 3.5 plastic potting containers, and used the Mykos on the roots and soil. I then watered my plants with the water/CaliMag solution, and placed them under the grow lights again. I’ll add pix and vids to my entry shortly.

Nachdem ich zwei Verluste verkraften musste, hab ich mich dafür entschieden 2x "Dark Devil Auto" von Sweet Seeds und 1x "Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto" von Zamnesia nachzuschieben, die sich alle drei mittlerweile als Keimlinge im finalen Topf wiederfinden. Eine "Dark Devil" hat es nicht geschafft, aber dafür geht's dem anderen Keimling umso besser. Bis zum Ende der Woche zeigen sich die unterschiedlichen Genetiken der Strains deutlich .. Am weitesten ausgebildet hat sich .. Überraschung: "Titan F1 Auto" ... 😎 ...

Added the first screen into the tent. Decided to kick Big Mumma out because she just wasn't growing any taller and the other plants were really over growing her. For the new setup I used kitty litter trays and mesh to sit the plants on - each plant gets its own tray so I can track runoff EC individually and I cut little flaps in the mesh so I can wet vac the runoff. With this setup I shouldn't need to move the plants out of the tent until harvest. For the scrog I just tied some builders rope around the poles of the tent and tied the trellis netting off with training wire. I've been manipulating the growth just to try and fill out the whole screen, I also gave them a good haircut because I plan on flipping them soon, don't want them to outgrow the tent.

Cambiamos de fotoperiodo y las plantas rápido han pegado el cambio y ya sacan los primeros pelitos

First week flower have moved them inside under the marshyrdo had to stuff them in there cause I had so many but I have loollipopped them all to make sure I have good air flow at the base topped a few aswell to compare them to u topped ones will be fun to see what works better

After 24 hours in glass of water, I put the seeds 48 hours to germinate using the paper towel method inside the container you see in the photo. Then moved both germinated seeds (with a 1cm root) to the substrate. The 6th day they showed up in the surface as you see in the photos.

Bonjour à tous, ces derniers jours ce sont bien passé pour mes petit bébés elles grandissent doucement mais sûrement.C’est la première fois que je travail avec cette gamme de produits (je vous est mis des photos des produits 😉) pour l’instant j’en suis satisfait après, il faut voir le résultat final ce qui est moins facile 😂. Mes petit bébés commence leurs 5ème semaine (je me suis trompé d’une semaine 😕 désolé 😉) trop pressé!!! 😂 de mettre de nouvelles photos 😜. Je vous dis à là semaine prochaine vivement 😉 bonne journée à tous. Je vous remercie 😉.

Mango Kush – Week 4 Flower (Week 8 from Seed) The bulking begins: pistils, stacking, and balanced nutrition Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Mango Kush (Pheno #1 & Pheno #2) Environment: 8×8 Grow Room Control System: TrolMaster Tent-X brain + WCS substrate sensors (The ThinkRoulette ecosystem) Lighting: • ThinkGrow Model One • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (x2 inner canopy lights) • Future of Grow Black Series 600W • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro ⸻ 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Bulking Mode Activated Week 4 is an important checkpoint in any bloom cycle. The Mango Kush sisters are no longer just “in flower”, they are now building flowers. Pistils are everywhere, thick and vibrant, forming the foundation for what will become dense, resin-packed buds. Both phenos are looking strong: • Pheno #1 – More advanced, pistil clusters stacking into early budlets, filling her frame with confidence. • Pheno #2 – A little behind, but catching up fast. She may have taken longer to flip (since she germinated later), but she’s now pushing out strong, healthy white hairs that signal the start of her bulking stage. This week’s studio and improvised studio photos capture this perfectly—the transition from “flower set” to flower building. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Update – Simplifying for Strength This week, we made an important nutritional adjustment: • Removed: Aptus All-in-One Liquid & Aptus Top Booster • Kept: • 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 Why this change? At this stage, the super soil’s NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) is already strong enough to sustain healthy growth and flower formation. Adding the All-in-One Liquid or Top Booster would risk redundancy, too much nutrient overlap can actually slow the plant down, cause salt build-up, or push her into unnecessary stress. By keeping only the boosters and biostimulants, we are: • Supporting flower stacking and density (Power Buds). • Enhancing terpene and resin production (Sugar Royal). • Adding a multi-function bloom enhancer (Green Sensation, famous for its late-flower results). • Maintaining structure, transport, and stress resistance (Regulator). • Keeping calcium and magnesium in check (CalMag Boost). 🌱 Educational takeaway: Week 4 is about controlled nutrition, not force-feeding. Too much input can overwhelm plants; the art is in balancing what the soil already provides with just enough supplements to guide the plant’s energy toward flowers. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Stability Matters The Mango Kush girls continue to thrive under the TrolMaster Tent-X + WCS ecosystem, giving live readings of: • Soil moisture (watering when ~19–20%) • EC levels (tracking buildup) • Temperature & RH (still peaking high at times, but stable airflow keeps the canopy safe) The ThinkRoulette ecosystem (TrolMaster + lighting synergy) has been running flawlessly, creating a stable and responsive environment. This consistency is what allows the girls to focus their energy on bulking rather than on fighting stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Canopy in Harmony The four-light setup continues to shine as a perfectly balanced orchestra: • ThinkGrow Model One – Deep canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow ICL-300s – Mid-canopy energy, no sites left behind. • Future of Grow Black Series 600W – Spectrum balance. • Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro – Evening out the footprint. Result: The canopy is even, pistils are popping from top to bottom, and no part of the plant is left in the dark. ⸻ 🌱 Genetics Check-In – Mango Kush in Mid-Flower Mango Kush (Mango × Hindu Kush) is famous for her fruity-sweet aroma with earthy Kush undertones. Week 4 is where the genetic potential starts to show: • Bud structure is beginning to define itself—rounded calyx clusters forming the early shape. • Aroma is still light, but brushing against the plants gives faint hints of fruit and spice. • Phenotypic difference: Pheno #1 is flowering earlier and faster, while Pheno #2 lags a week behind. This may result in staggered harvest windows, giving two slightly different expressions of the same strain. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect & What Not to Expect ✅ What to Expect in Week 4–5: • Noticeable bud bulking. • Rapid calyx development, pistil clusters getting denser. • First trichomes appearing under macro view. • Water demand increasing steadily. • Early terpene hints becoming stronger week by week. ❌ What Not to Expect Yet: • Full aroma profile (that comes around Week 5–6). • Major resin frosting (Week 5 onward). • Final bud density or color changes (those happen in later bloom). Educational takeaway: Patience is key. Week 4 is about building structure. The “icing” (frost, density, aroma explosion) comes later. ⸻ 🔄 Recap So Far – The Journey • Weeks 0–2: Seedlings established with Aptus Start Booster. • Weeks 3–4 (Veg): Pheno #1 stretched tall, Pheno #2 filled out compact. • Week 5: Flip to 12/12 → stretch begins. • Week 6 (Flower Week 2): Bloom boosters introduced, lights upgraded. • Week 7 (Flower Week 3): Clear flower set, pistils everywhere, irrigation system added. • Week 8 (Now, Flower Week 4): Bulking stage, pistils thick and abundant, nutrition simplified, environment stable. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the community—thank you for following along, for sharing knowledge, and for keeping the love of cultivation alive. These reports are more than just grow logs, they are learning tools, and together we’re documenting the journey of two Mango Kush sisters from seed to flower. And to the gear, the TrolMaster, the ThinkRoulette ecosystem, and the full lighting orchestra, you make this possible. Technology doesn’t grow the plant, but it empowers the grower to let the plant reach her full potential. ⸻ 📸 This week’s highlight: Studio and improvised studio shots capturing the moment where flower set becomes flower build. ✨ In short: Week 4 Flower is the week of foundations. The pistils are thick, the flowers are forming, and the stage is set for resin and density in the weeks to come. 📲 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. – Pheno #1 vs. Pheno #2 A quick note on the sisters’ timelines: • Pheno #1 remains ahead—already deep in flower, stacking pistils fast and showing more advanced bud formation. • Pheno #2, while it started later, is catching up beautifully. Her pistils are now bursting and forming thick clusters, but she still sits a bit behind her sister. This difference is natural: Pheno #2 germinated later and is effectively running on a slightly younger internal clock. The 11/13 light schedule (11 hours on, 13 hours off) means she is easing into flower at her own rhythm. 👉 What this means: Both plants are thriving, but don’t expect them to bulk or finish at the same exact time. This staggered development could actually be a gift—two harvest windows, two terpene expressions, one journey. Educational takeaway: Even seeds from the same strain can flower on different schedules. Rather than forcing uniformity, let each phenotype tell its story. Patience reveals the full genetic spectrum. 🌿 Grower’s Note “This week felt like the real beginning of bloom. The room is alive—white hairs, bulking pistils, and that early whisper of aroma that promises so much more to come. Pheno #1 leads the charge, Pheno #2 follows on her own time, and together they remind me that growing is not about control, but about partnership. The plants teach us patience, and in return, we give them care.”

End of a great autoflower grow with the Royal Gorilla Auto by Royal Queen Seeds. They were fun to grow, very easy to grow plants that never complained. The smell of the final flower is great, reminds me of green apples. A very well balanced strain with great effects, can recommend the Gorillas for sure. At the beginning of the diary it were 4 plants but I put one outside as soon as they started flowering, so one is actually still outside growing, will be ready in a week. So the total harvest was from 3 plants.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Thanks everybody for the comments 🙏

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Finding Her Own Spice There are always a few plants in a room that seem determined to compete for the crown. The tallest. The widest. The biggest. And then there are plants like Frosted Guava. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to make an impression. She has simply found her own way of doing things. Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A has continued developing with beautiful consistency. Her foliage remains lush and deeply green, her structure is filling out beautifully, and her flowers are becoming increasingly dense and noticeably frosty. The plant is now entering her fifth week of flowering, and the difference is becoming impossible to miss. She's eating photons. She's converting them into flowers. And slowly but surely, she's filling out everywhere. This girl is finding her own spice. And I really like it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – The Flowers Are Coming Into Their Own At approximately 120 cm, Frosted Guava may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't everything. What matters now is what she's doing with the structure she built. And she's doing a beautiful job. The stretch has largely settled, and the energy of the plant is increasingly directed toward developing the flowers. The individual bud sites are becoming much more substantial, with the flowers beginning to stack and fill along the branches. The most beautiful part right now is the contrast. Those deep green leaves surrounding flowers covered in bright white pistils create an almost electric appearance. The white hairs seem to be reaching in every direction, forming those beautiful little crowns around each developing flower. And beneath them, the flowers are beginning to gain real volume. They're no longer simply there. They're building. 🍃 Deep Green, Lush & Full of Life One of the first things that catches my eye when looking at Frosted Guava this week is the foliage. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look healthy, strong, and full of life, creating a lush backdrop for the developing flowers. There is something particularly satisfying about seeing this combination at this stage of flowering: deep green foliage + bright white pistils + increasing frost. The plant looks like she's completely comfortable in her environment. She's not trying to be something she's not. She's simply growing. And that's becoming her personality. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving The name Frosted Guava is starting to make more and more sense. Resin development is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers, and the developing frost is beginning to give the buds that beautiful sparkling appearance we've been waiting for. We're still far from the finished product, of course. But this is the stage where things start becoming really exciting. Every week, the flowers gain a little more structure. A little more volume. A little more frost. And a little more personality. The white pistils are still beautifully prominent, standing proudly away from the flowers and giving every bud site that classic flowering appearance. They're almost like little flags announcing: "We're not finished yet." And I certainly hope they're not. There's still plenty of work for these flowers to do. ☀️ Eating Photons This is one of my favourite parts of watching a plant develop. We can't actually see photosynthesis happening. But we can see the results. Light enters the canopy. Leaves capture those photons. And the plant turns that energy into growth, structure, flowers, and eventually the beautiful resin-covered buds we're watching develop week by week. Frosted Guava is doing exactly that right now. She's standing underneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, taking in the light, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues bringing additional illumination into the lower portions of the plant. And the response is becoming visible. She's filling out. She's building flower mass. She's turning energy into structure. The room might look like it's simply full of green plants and bright lights. But underneath all of that is an incredible biological process happening every second. And Frosted Guava is working. 💡 Light Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main source of light above the canopy, while Lumiflora continues supporting the lower flowering areas. At approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, the plants have plenty of photons available during this stage. The under-canopy lighting adds another layer to the system, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full and the foliage naturally creates more shade below the main canopy. I'm especially interested in watching how Frosted Guava's lower flowering sites develop as the flowers continue gaining size. But once again, I'm not going to write the ending before we reach it. The harvest will tell us what the photons actually accomplished. 🌿 A Plant Finding Her Own Personality This is probably what I appreciate most about Frosted Guava. She isn't trying to be the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to stretch endlessly toward the ceiling. She's simply developing her own shape. And now that the flowers are becoming more substantial, that individuality is becoming easier to appreciate. Some phenotypes announce themselves immediately. Others reveal themselves slowly. Frosted Guava feels like the second kind. She's quietly been building a foundation week after week, and now we're beginning to see the reward. A lush plant. Strong foliage. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing frost. And flowers that are slowly but surely filling out. She's finding her own spice. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains consistent this week: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Watering: approximately 1.3 L per 24 hours Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when the plant is responding beautifully. Consistency continues to be the name of the game. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with remarkably stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The combination of stable temperature, humidity, airflow, lighting and irrigation continues creating the environment I'm looking for throughout the flowering room. And Frosted Guava seems perfectly happy inside it. 🌬️ The 8×8 Is Becoming One Garden One of the most exciting things about this stage isn't just watching Frosted Guava. It's looking around the entire 8×8. What began as individual plants occupying their own little spaces has gradually transformed into one enormous flowering ecosystem. Every phenotype still has its own personality. Different structures. Different stretch. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. But together they're becoming one living canopy. And Frosted Guava has found her place within it. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate. She's simply contributing her own character to the garden. And that's exactly what this project was designed to show. 🔭 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue gaining volume and density, the frost should become increasingly obvious, and those beautiful white pistils will slowly begin telling us more about the plant's progression toward maturity. For now, though, I want to see her continue doing exactly what she's doing. Keep the leaves healthy. Keep eating photons. Keep building. Keep filling out. And keep showing us what this particular Frosted Guava phenotype has hidden inside her genetics. She's got her own rhythm. I'm just here to watch it unfold. ❤️ Final Thoughts – She Has Found Her Spice Frosted Guava doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to compete with anyone. She's Frosted Guava. And she's starting to look really, really good. The deep green foliage. The beautiful white pistils. The first serious signs of frost. The developing flower mass. The way she's gradually filling out across her branches. Everything is coming together. And perhaps that's the most satisfying part of growing different phenotypes together. You give them the same environment. The same philosophy. The same care. And then you step back and watch them tell you who they are. Frosted Guava is telling us now. She's elegant. She's consistent. She's lush. She's frosty. And she's got her own spice. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this adventure possible with these fantastic genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this journey on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and enthusiasm make documenting this entire 8×8 Adventure incredibly special. Until next week... Let's keep watching this girl eat photons and turn them into flowers. ☀️🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

This week growth was fast buds packed on weight quite quickly didnt exspect the buds to get to this size as i had to cut 1 day short of 8 weeks so 7.9 week flower time blue zushi smells crazy peach oz stink of fruity zkittlez the zcube is mad and everything got flushed with ph water for 3 days will upload pics of final harvest after 12 days of drying after final trim.

Outdoors........time passes slowly.... Tropical weather here, this week. Hot morning, evening storms , cooler nights, high humidity, wind. What else? No problems to report, fantastic grow, girls full of life. Lots of work to bend and rearrange plant's shape every day, sometimes twice a day. Defoliation. Plant is responding fantastically. Pineapple Kush is a monster, she has almost 20 big branches, every single branch is big as an indoor plant. I've growth 30 strains in my life but I never seen a plant with a such LTS attitude. You bend her, she responds quickly, you bend her again? She responds faster. Little bit late on flowering.

Still..... No...... Flower..... think I might have a photo. Lol
