11/4 130am Lights up to 77 watts 4.3 grams Maxi-Grow powder this week. Using mix from last week. Will probably switch to Bloom by Wed. 11/5 12am Canopy Creations LST things are great resistance training builds huge branches!!! They are amazing. 10am growing fast and big after today’s watering!!! Garlic muffin and fatso have the thickest branches that I’ve ever seen the side branches are thicker than what I got when I was growing in bigger containers so these nutrients and the soil and this light wattage seems to be a good formula I have to save this and work on it And stressing with the Canopy Creations has doubled the diameter of the branches that I have been stressing. Just great results. 11/6 Galic is the strongest so far her branches are THICK, a perfect 4 cola grow. Each of the 4 branches are as thick as the main stem on my first few tries at this. 12am They were all dry gave water probably last week using Grow switching to Bloom nutrients. Extremely strong plants from Seedsman!!!! When I finally got them going I found using Maxi-Grow & Rapid Start made a huge difference!!! Only Rapid Start for the first week. 11/7 1am GM & CA are huge now!! lights up 89W as the leaves fold up a little for the heat I will raise them an inch or so. 1pm did water today. They are starting to flower 11/8 12:30am Switched to Bloom nutrients yesterday after the last feeding with Grow they all went to sleep right away after that and are waking up now with flowers forming. I will use 4grams Bloom, 0.4 Purpinator, 0.5 Rapid Start, 0.4 Silica, 0.4 Cal/Mag. Silica causes fluctuations in pH. 2am Galic is a MONSTER, and Seedsman is out of them. Fatso is next for size. I can not believe how huge the branches are this technique of 4 colas in a small 1 gallon container. These plants will be perfect for this 9am LST crazy day!!! I have never been able to train the small set of first branches that come off the first node on plants before until seedsmen Faso and garlic🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 11/9 1am flowering I might have to split them up into 2 tents they are all getting bigger than I thought they could, this is just great! after 20 fails I think im getting this small grow style worked out. 1:30pm moved the RSQ's into tent 3. Tent 2 not big enough but I'll make it work. Once I harvest the plants from the 🎃 Halloween All the Darkness grow it will be easier. Galic & Fatso by Seedman are HUGE very thick branches, thick side branches responds to training extremely well. Strongest F1's!

10th week, the smaller Strawberry G was already harvested. 5 grams dry weight. Twig snap two days ago I was out smoked it. Head buzz, Strawberry taste was light and delicious. High lasted about 4 hours. I have a habit of harvesting with hardly any amber so the potency is at its peak.

They are runing well. More light would be better. Still doubt about defoliation. Thinking to make last heavy one on week 7 and start to flush at the end of it. Girls super healthy, i think i will easy beat 1g/w... Fingers crossed ;) Extra : Made second round of defoliation. All looks great ! Plus some night footage before defoliation If you ask where i found courage to make it again : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m7j3GMgKEM0 Miami Mango conviced me again ;) P.s. my plants where all time healthy, thats why i can try out such tricks. Anyway one plant no clearing, no lolitoping, no defoliation. We shall see the weight results, i have a competitor for her. On third week of flowering they both where the same. Time will tell ... I rotate my plants everyday so they get even light and same feeding. P.s.2 Plant in the midle is Choco Lopez auto, dont count her ;) i did all the same to her as to other photoperiod plants. She is the Beast ;) P.s.3 24 hours after dofoliation they started to smell really hard... Citrus and berries aroma all the way .. No sign of stress and easy to see how healthy they are , still blooming ;) P.s. 4 I always work with plants before watering them and when i harm them - i always water with ph water only. Soil is ritch enough and if damage will happen less feeding will reduse it ...

Terrible week. Day 43 - No sign of over-fed. They are doing great regardless the ppm so I checked online and found out the ppm In organic soil could be higher and it's normal. Anyhow, I gave my plants plain PHed water after the fed, and the run off is about 1800ppm. I think I will remain around this ppm for coming weeks. Day 45 - Half of the Led broke. Day 46 - Gave them natural sunlight. Accidentally broke the main stem :(((( Day 47 - New Light, New Tent! (It's BloomPlus BP-1500 light)

Hello Guys ! Hope you are doing well. If needed find the tutorial of the topping and bending in the videos. What a week for the plant ! huge changes ! you can check all the tutorials into my IG channel : Sawyer_grow First I started the week by topping her. the idea it to let the plant focus on the current 8 colas she already grown. I gave her 3 days to recover then bending the main colas and did some LST to perfect the mainlining. for this grow I changed a bit my tools instead of using some holes in the pot I put some bamboo stick in it with rubber. Hope you like it. now she enter a full week of break. Take care all see you next week.

🌸 BlueBerry – Week 4 Flower Report Grower’s Journal – Zamnesia BlueBerry | Entry 009 ⸻ 🌱 The Girls at Week 4 Both BlueBerry #1 and #2 are officially in their bloom stride. • Structure: Stocky, balanced, strong branching. • Stacking: Bud sites are forming beautifully and starting to swell. • Frosting: Trichome production has begun — the first glitters catching the light. They almost look like mirror images, which is a testament to the stability of these genetics. Every node is stacking just right, making this run a true delight to watch evolve. ⸻ 💡 Under-Canopy Lights – The Hidden Secret This week the under-canopy lights are proving their worth. Not only are the tops shining, but even the lowers are receiving enough energy to thrive. This setup is creating: • Even growth across the whole plant. • Healthier lower buds, not just popcorn. • A canopy that feels alive from top to bottom. It’s a real ecosystem of light, every layer glowing and working together. ⸻ Environment – Hot, Hot, Hot Now, let’s talk about the truth of summer growing: the heat. Temperatures are climbing so much that even taking pictures becomes a challenge. Let’s say this: by the time I’ve finished shooting the girls, I’m almost in “summer beachwear” mode 🌞👕😂. The garden is so warm and alive that it feels like stepping into a tropical bloom paradise, except instead of palm trees, I’m surrounded by BlueBerry flowers. Humidity stays in balance, sensors are working, and despite the warmth, the girls are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Atmosphere & Gear As always, the ecosystem setup is running smooth: • TrolMaster brain + sensors keeping us updated. • Spider Farmer + Aero Fans ensuring airflow in & out. • Filters keeping everything fresh. • LEDs (Future of Grow + ThinkGrow + Lumatek Zeus) pushing flower formation with perfect spectrum balance. Every piece is connected, every reading aligned — it’s not just a grow tent, it’s a living orchestra of technology and nature working together. ⸻ ✨ The Fun Side – Amnesia Moment A little shoutout: taking care of the BlueBerry girls sometimes makes me forget the world outside (Amnesia closes, let’s call it that 😉). Between the heat, the scent of early terpenes, and the hypnotic way flowers are forming, time disappears in the room. That’s the beauty of it — it’s not just gardening, it’s a whole-body, whole-heart experience. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Into Week 5 Next week, I expect: • Flowers to bulk up heavily. • Terpenes to become more noticeable, filling the room with the classic BlueBerry perfume. • Trichomes to coat the buds more visibly. • Room adjustments as needed once the AC comes into play, stabilizing the heat. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 4 flower is the turning point — where the story moves from stretch to stack, from structure to sparkle. Both BlueBerries are stunning, almost identical, and thriving under both canopy and under-canopy light. Yes, the heat makes it a sweaty job (half-naked photoshoot vibes 😅), but the result is worth it: strong, healthy, beautifully evolving BlueBerry ladies. From genetics to gear, from environment to experience — everything is tuned for success. And now, it’s just about letting them shine. 🌸✨ DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

In dieser Woche hat die Pflanze nochmals klares Wasser mit Flawless Finisch bekommen um die Blüten richtig zu spülen, was ich ca. 4 mal Wiederholt habe💧🍁 Die Blüten sind in der Woche sehr gut gereift und in den nächsten Tagen bereit für die Ernte. Der Geruch ist sehr stark geworden und die Blüten liegen förmlich in einer Harzschicht 👀 Das Terpenen Profil ist gleich geblieben hat sich nur nochmal deutlich verbessert. Es dominieren weiter Benzin, Zitrone und Süß-Fruchtige Noten ⛽️🍬🍋 An Tag 60 geht es Richtung Ende entgegen 🏁

25.08.2025 Recovery-Week! Die Afghan Kush befindet sich auf dem Wege der Besserung und ich bin happy, happy, happy 😍 Wie prophezeit, ist die Zkttlz OG mittlerweile die größte und schönste Pflanze. Da sie eine Woche zurückliegt, konnte ich rechtzeitig mit der CalMag-Gabe beginnen. Also, Pro-Tipp: Aptus Dünger immer mit CalMag supplementieren. 28.08.2025 Die erkrankte Afghan Kush findet so langsam zurück ins Leben und streckt sich ganz gewaltig. Womöglich habe ich ihr, durch zuviel Wasser, auch noch den Rest gegeben 😅. Aber Hey, here she comes! Leider fallen die anderen Beiden gerade etwas ins "Pflegehintertreffen". Eigentlich brauchen sie mich gerade gar nicht 💜 30.08.2025 Der Afghan Kush geht es sehr viel besser. Die Blattdüngung mit Bittersalz haben alle drei gut vertragen. Allerdings war dies mein erster Aptus-Run und womöglich auch der letzte. Ich hoffe, dass es alle drei irgendwie bis zur Ernte schaffen und bitte, bitte auch ordentlich Ertrag bringen 🌸

Plants taking to the technique very well imo. Particularly the back right one, which has created a almost perfect dome shape. I did miss a watering and they didn't like that atall. As I usually wait for the soil to be dry before I water again, so if I miss a watering, they get extremely dry. All the leaves dropped down completely vertical, I thought it was all over, but they bounced straight back with the next watering. 🙌 The plant has now been topped twice, once to creat the initial + shape, and again to split each stem of the + into 2. So each plant now has 8 main stems.

Como estamos familia, a día de hoy, viernes, llevamos exactamente 7 días en la fase de floración y todas ellas están marcadas por su sexo. Todo va sobre ruedas, tenemos mínimas de 20,5 y maximas de 28,5 grados. la humedad no supera nunca el 60%. Altura mínima lemon kush 25cm. Altura maxima northern light xl 42cm. •las power plant xl Han pegado un estirón serio, están empezando a ensanchar bastante. •una marea verde desde semilla, con tan solo 5 semanas de crecimiento y un solo trasplante desde que se germinó, para controlar un mal crecimiento.

Everything’s trucking along nicely so far This week. I cleared out under the first net this week and stripped there bottoms down. Lol I also was forced to do another defoliation up top this week as it was insanely crowded again, 3 days later and it’s gonna need it again to put the top screen on. Crazy foliage on these girls. I had a friend pass away last week so stuff kinda got put on the back burner, shoulda had the top screen on already. They are also so bushy and crowded I had nowhere to train the larger branches coming up in the middle so there are a few popin up over the canopy here and there. Gonna have to remember to flip this strain earlier if I give her a go again. Looks like I got 2 pheno types as well, 3 are bigger and stretched up more and 1 stayed low and is a bushier girl. I think it will all be good in the end though, no big hiccups yet. Cheers💨

We have topped her this week. We also forgot to post that we transplanted a week ago. All of the girls seem to have bounced back from the over watering. We have attempted our first compost tea to boost the microbiology in the soil. 7.5ml fish shit 1/2 tablespoon recharge 1 teaspoon stonington plant food 1 1/2 handful work casting 1 1/2 coast of Maine Brewed sightly less than 24hs but not much, ph to 6.3😎
