Love the strain. There was heat stress, and for such much light 2x2 tent would be better. After curing: Tasty as hell grape "cold" flavour, body tranqulizing high, after few hits from the bong its a good idea to chill and watch a movie. Absolutley love the smoke in the end, from bag appeal to high :)0

🥦 ayahuasca purple 🥦 peso: 173g cogollos secos cogollos: poco pegajosos, duritos y de tamaño medio/pequeño sabor y aroma: kush y huele a hierba de toda la vida conclusión: esperaba poco de ella y las plagas que ha sufrido no le han ayudado. sin más, no pasará al recuerdo. hierba de guerrilla, teniendo las otras, ésta seguramente acabe para comestibles y demás

Day 51 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 ACOP , Melonade Runtz have Xmas tree structure where as orange bud is pure tall sativa structure... The Overdose is a compact indica looking dwarf but the bud sites are packing out a punch 👊🤣 Day 54 23/08/24 Friday Watering only today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, I'm watering in 350ml no run off. 400ml I'm seeing tiny run off. Day 56 25/08/24 Sunday Water today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Added bud candy and rhino skin 1ml per litre

End of week 4 and this orange sherbet is finally pumping and has almost caught up to her sister (which I stunted this week 🤦‍♂️) I haven't defoliated or trained this girl, im going to leave her el natural for now. On day 27 I added a big dose of compost tea and she loved it, she's now praying to the lights and I'm stoked she's stoked Today on day 28 I repositioned the thermometer in the tent as it was too far from the plants, the girls were getting baked and not the good kind, they're all loving life now. I hope you all had a good week and thanks a lot for checking in 🙏

Gorilla Cookies is growing well. Making some nice progress. I had to give them some organic calmag because that is all I could get locally but it seems to be working. pH has held steady and the leaf color is looking great on all the plants. Haven't had to do any maintainence this week other than defoliate a few bottom leaves and spread some branches out a little. Plants are growing bigger than I thought they would so I will have to figure something out to get them spread further apart soon. Just going to keep the juice pumping and the lights beaming. Hoping to get them under the QB lights soon. She is 28 days old in a 16 oz cup. No roots have grown out of the cup at any time. No roots have been trimmed or touched. Happy growing everyone!

Esta semana notamos que los Led estaban demasiado cerca de las copas cuando los apicales mostraron un inicio de albinismo así que tocó alejarlos un poco, a 40 ctms áprox. igual poco menos. Las dos Amarettotarmac muestran una diferencia notable en la morfología de los cogollos pero de olor ambas afrutadas, cereza, fresa, algo muy rico y notable a larga distancia, que huelen mucho. xd

Wow, this has been a wild week here! She is looking so good. She has perfect form, many tops. And is definitely winning against my FastBuds Mystery seed #1. Hands down my favourite plant, maybe... ever! It's absolutely perfect. Look at her! 😍 A true dream come true... Now watch me mess this up! 😅 Anyway so I fimmed, and ended up with 7 tops. Very happy with that. Training started, to begin to open up all of those tops. I used the LST clips to bend over the stems away from the plants centre. I did this with every branch. I water with 2 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which I will add .5g Ecothrive Biosys to. I water about every 3-4 days, when the pots have dried sufficiently. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 🍃✌️💚🙂

On day 1 I adjusted the PH of the rez up to 6.2. I increased average ppfd to 972, with the highest ppfd on a top at 1500 ppfd lets see how she reacts and if she likes the intensity I will keep it steady till the end if not back to lower ppfd again. On day 6 I changed out the rez and ph to 6.2. Buds are growing and putting on weight very compact buds.

Welcome back everyone, As you can see are almost all seedlings growing. Some where still in the soil. Might happend when giving water(seedlings can turn or get deeper), checked it out and they are alive and well. All pictures are from day 4. The humidifier had been added, so I had to adjust the room. I spotted a corner of the room that gets dryer faster. I adjust the fan for now and see what happens. Corners are always hard to get perfect. Sometimes the light, air, watering doesn't come there properly. Seedlings don't need much nutrients, neighter do autoflowers. with normal soil I would recommend to only give water for 1-2 weeks, since it holds nutrients in it as well. But since I'm using Cocos for this grow, I might have to add some basic nutrients in the upcomming week. For this week I gave/give only water turns and Startbooster/rhyzotonic turns. Update day 5: - Lowerd the lights to avoid stretching, they are now at 75cm distance from lamp to pots. I want them at 40-50 cm, but I don't want to rush it. - Added another layer of cocos to avoid the soil from drying up therefore the roots from dying. This will happen because of lowering the lamps down, the soil will get exposed more to heat. As you can see, the humidifier is doing his thing haha. Pictures and videos where taken without the lights + fans on. because of that, it will look like this. Still fun thought. Arround 7 seeds didn't reach the surface yet, lets hope they make there way up soon. Enjoy!

So the objective here is to get to harvest as quickly as possibly - Basically got a cheap humidifier and filled it with ph'd water with very little nutrient. Running this as a Fogponics once the roots starts coming out the net pot and then move to standard dwc with air pump during veg and flower. Let see if this speeds things up

I'm really proud of this for a second grow! For the amount of space and the light that I'm using, i feel like my buds should stack better but at least I have real goals to meet for the next grow. I'm not looking to get lbs, but I do want great quality flowers that are visually stunning. I would DEFINITELY recommend Native Sun Genetics to anyone, beginner to advanced! This isn't a hi-yielder to start with anyway, but it's still one to look for!

🌱 WEEKLY REPORT — 12/12 From Seed Light Shuttle Run A New Experimental Cycle Filled With Vigor, Authenticity & Community Love This week marks the launch of our 12/12 from seed light shuttle experiment, an intentional departure from traditional cycles to explore how early flowering signals influence structure, energy distribution, and overall expression. It’s a fresh chapter, and already the project feels alive with momentum. ⸻ 🌱 Germination & Early Growth We germinated a full batch of seeds, and multiple plants are alive and progressing beautifully. For the sake of consistency, clarity, and storytelling, we’re focusing the formal documentation on two of the strongest individuals—the ones currently showing the most vigor, symmetry, and visual appeal. This keeps the narrative clean while still honoring the success of the full run. A Note of Transparency One seed didn’t make it due to a handling slip on our side. Not an environmental issue—just human. And that’s okay. Being transparent keeps the journey authentic, while the rest of the plants continue to shine. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains controlled and supportive: • Humidity: 75–80% • Temperature: ~28°C • Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed (experimental shuttle approach) These conditions have fostered healthy early development, vibrant coloration, and confident structural initiation. ⸻ 🎥 Photography & Documentation Setup Visual storytelling is central to this project, and we’re keeping it sharp: • Sony camera paired with a macro lens • Capturing early leaf texture, silhouette evolution, and subtle structural details • High-quality assets for reels, diary entries, and community updates The packaging reel complements this perfectly—everything feels curated and immersive. ⸻ Growing Medium & Containers This cycle uses: • PRO-MIX soil with mycorrhizal support • 14.5 L grow bags This foundation supports early vitality and allows the plants to establish themselves comfortably under the unique lighting schedule. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression This Week The run is off to an exceptional start. Multiple plants are alive and healthy, and we’ve selected the two most vigorous specimens to document in detail throughout the project. Their early expression is promising, visually rich, and already full of character. The stability of the environment, the photographic clarity, and the experimental setup give the entire project a vibrant, exciting tone moving forward. ⸻ 💚 Community, Gratitude & Acknowledgment As always, none of this exists in isolation. A heartfelt thank you to: • Tical (the music legend behind part of the genetics) • Zamnesia, co-creator of this beautiful genetic combination • The entire community — the OGs, the newcomers, the quiet supporters, the loud ones, the curious, the passionate • GrowDiaries and the whole platform for giving projects like this a home • Everyone following the journey, sharing love, and keeping the culture alive Your energy fuels this project.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial NEW DISCORD - Official Server Invite Link : https://discord.gg/ksjAkA5T74 P.S.2- Due to the new platform restrictions on GrowDiaries, it wasn’t possible to upload all of the germination photos during the official germination week. To keep the documentation complete and transparent, those images are now being uploaded together with the rest of this week’s photos. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.

Big Bitch Downunder 19th April 2024 11 weeks of flowering finished 😀 The buds are fattening up nicely now and are covered in big trichomes . The smell is getting better and better every week and I am anticipating a fantastic sativa harvest. As usual cheers for stopping by 👍

I initiated the germination process using coco jiffy pods, which provide an ideal environment for seeds to sprout due to their moisture-retaining properties and good aeration. After three days, when the first signs of germination were visible - likely small roots emerging from the seeds or possibly the first cotyledons - I carefully transplanted the seedlings into larger pots. For this next phase, I used living soil from 'Couple of Plants'. These soil contain nutrient-rich teeming with beneficial microorganisms, creating a natural ecosystem that promotes efficient nutrient uptake and healthier plant growth, setting the stage for robust development in the coming weeks.

Woche 12 Die Woche beginnt weniger erfreulich. Schimmel in den Buds! Waren aber auch wirklich dicke Monster. Dennoch! Bisher haben wir keine Erklärung dafür. Luftfeuchte unter 60% auch im Dunkeln. Temperatur Tag und Nacht 25°C. Gießen alle zwei Tage. Bleibt nur frühzeitige Headbud Ernte. Trichome glücklicherweise schon fast alle Milchig. Begeben uns auf die Suche nach den falschen Parametern. Plan: Mehr Hygrometer an verschiedenen Stellen im Zelt. Evt. falsche Messtelle zur Überwachung der Luftfeuchte gewählt??? Die andere Pflanze im Zelt erscheint hingegen vollkommen Schimmelfrei. Pflanze evt. Durch unsaubere Arbeit (Kontakt mit Kleidung / Nase beim riechen) kontaminiert? Demnächst kommen alle Nasen ab, bevor wir an die Blumen gehen. 👃🔪😜 Nach genauerer Betrachtung unter dem Mikroskop scheint die Pflanze schon nahezu fertig zu sein, haben uns daher wieder zu einer Teilernte entschieden die Headbuds können schonmal ab. Der Rest darf noch etwas nachreifen. Was uns schon etwas wundert, ist die Tatsache das die Blume mit 56 - 63 Tagen angegeben ist aber schon jetzt fast vollständig ausgereift zu sein scheint!?
