11/21/24 Short facts: - Watered: 1 x 1.0L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.75L — 5.75L - VPD @ 1.4 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 80% ~700 to 1050 PPFD - BioBizz Bio-Bloom increased to 3ml/L - BioBizz Bio-Grow increased to 3ml/L - Getting colder! At night between 18 to 19°C --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There isn’t much to report this week. She’s doing fine, but she might need a little more CalMag and nitrogen. So I’m giving her some extra CalMag and a small amount of bonemeal. Since the weather is getting quite cold for the region - and we’ve already had a bit of snow - the cellar where my grow tent is set up is cooling down, with nighttime temperatures dropping to 18–19°C. Therefore, I’ve ordered some heat mats, which should arrive tomorrow. I’m aiming to stabilize the root temperature at around 22°C consistently, so the nights won’t be too cold anymore. I’ll go into more detail in next week’s update.

Atemberaubend wie Sie nochmal hochgekommen ist und Seitentriebe ausgebildet hat. Dafür das Sie als "Überwiegend Indica" ausgeschrieben ist, ein Monster von Pflanze. Um den unteren Trieben für den Stretch nochmal die Chance zu geben, habe ich die großen Fächerblätter entfernt. Präventiv Neemöl gesprüht, weil ich ein paar Freunde gesehen habe. Spraymix alle 2 Tage. Heute wird auch die Lampe auf 12/12 umgestellt.

Week 6 Flower Report: Maturation in Full Swing! 🌟 Welcome to the week where the magic of maturation takes center stage! 🌟 The garden has reached a pivotal moment as the trichomes are bursting with potential. Each one a glittering universe, they are the undeniable stars of this show, taking over every surface with their frosty brilliance. ✨ Watching them evolve is like witnessing art being created in real time – it’s a reminder of the beauty and patience this craft demands. Trichomes: The Frosty Frontier This week, the focus is all about those frosty beauties! • Trichomes are the key indicators of ripeness and cannabinoid production. Watching their progression from clear to cloudy to amber provides the ultimate insight into maturity. • Currently, we’re seeing a fantastic mix of cloudy trichomes with some clear still hanging around – a perfect sign that they’re gearing up for their final push. • Fun fact: Trichomes serve as the plant’s natural defense mechanism, protecting it from UV rays and pests while being our treasure trove for cannabinoids and terpenes. Spectrum Tuning: The Science of Light Light plays a major role in shaping the maturation process, and this week, we’ve dialed in the spectrum for optimal results. Here’s the breakdown: • Whites: Running at 77% to maintain robust overall growth and trichome density. • Deep Reds, Far Reds, and UV: Maxed out at 100% to mimic the end-of-season spectrum, signaling the plants to finish strong. • Deep Reds: Enhance photosynthesis efficiency through the Emerson effect. • Far Reds: Promote stretch and flowering hormone production. • UV: Stimulates trichome production for an extra boost of frost! We’ve also added a timing twist: • Reds & UV start 15 minutes before whites to simulate sunrise. • Reds & UV finish 15 minutes after whites to mimic sunset, creating a more natural light transition. These subtle timing tricks help reduce stress while optimizing light absorption, ensuring every photon counts! 🌞 Environmental Conditions: Precision is Key Here are the dialed-in parameters for the week: • Temps: 26.3°C • RH: 70.1% • CO2: 800 ppm • VPD: 1.03 kPa With these numbers, the ladies are thriving in their sweet spot, absorbing nutrients efficiently while maximizing trichome development. Lighting Power: • Lower layer at 800 PPFD and the upper layer shining bright at 1500 PPFD. The canopy coverage is perfect for even development throughout the garden. Nutrition: Balanced and Boosted We’ve stuck with the tried-and-true nutrient mix this week but with some strategic adjustments: • Removed Breaking Powder to focus on trichome maturity. • Introduced K-Boost at 0.5 ml/L, giving the plants the potassium edge they need to pack on weight and enhance terpene production. • Feeding solution details: • pH: 6.2 • TDS: 755 ppm • Temp: 20.6°C In the Autopots, the medium stays perfectly hydrated at 100% with: • TDS: 580 ppm • Temp: 22.2°C Shoutouts and Gratitude A huge shoutout to the amazing genetics and these incredible ladies, and a big thanks to Trol Master, Aptus Holland and Pro Mix for the stellar products that are elevating this grow to new heights! 🌱💪 To all growers out there, remember: Patience is the secret ingredient. Watch, learn, and trust the process – the results will always amaze you. Here’s to another week of growth and gratitude.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Hallo mein lieber Gärtner 👩‍🌾 sehr spannende Phase die 🌸 sind mit Puderzucker bezogen riecht mittel stark. Ich hab sie gestern gegossen und hab 5 Liter gegeben und wie ihr sieht bin noch nicht so gut ausgestattet mit drain schalen und so da hat bissel wasser ins zelt ausgebreitet. Und wie ihr sieht bin mit zwei verschiedenen Dünger unterwegs der Green Hous ist sehr gut nach meiner Meinung und ich booster mit bio bizz bissel. Wie ihr sieht hab auch rote blatt stiele und ganz minimal auf äste auch

🌸 The White OG – Week 2 Flower Strain: TheWhite OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: 2nd Week Flower / Week 13 from Germination Grower: DogDoctor Pot: 30L Fabric Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae Lighting: FOG LED Controlled by: TrolMaster Environment: 🌿 🔆 Light Schedule: 11/13 (Light/Dark) 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: 1.26 🌡️ Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 💥 Let the Bloom Begin We’ve officially entered Week 2 of Flower—and you can see the shift. ✨ The canopy is full ✨ The stretch is slowing ✨ And the first signs of flowers are popping up! Tiny clusters forming, her energy turning inward to begin building her crown. This is a foundational moment. What we do now will shape the rest of her flowering cycle. And for White OG, it’s looking like she’s going to be a big mama, just as we’d hoped. 🌿 ⸻ Feeding: The Aptus Clean Program with Breakout Powder This week’s feeding is a carefully balanced clean recipe—precision, not excess. 💧 Order of Mix 1. Regulator – Strength and cell structure 2. System Clean – Sanitation and oxygen boost 3. RO Water Conditioner – Unlocks nutrient uptake 4. All-in-One Liquid – Balanced base nutrients 5. Breakout Powder – The flower kickstarter 🌸 Why Breakout Now? Week 2 of flower is when we want to nudge the girl gently into full reproductive mode. Breakout powder provides the phosphorus and potassium bump needed to stimulate early bud formation and drive more focused energy into flower sites. Not too early. Not too late. This timing is just right. 🧠 ⸻ 📈 Metrics That Matter • Final pH after mix: 6.0 – ideal absorption • EC: 1.26 – strong but not heavy • Water Temp: 18.6°C – slightly cool, but within range This is a recipe that’s been tried, tested, and it’s clearly working. Her leaves are loving it, and her roots are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Goals She’s taking to the Scrog beautifully—spreading, reaching, stacking. You can feel her momentum building. The defoliation we did earlier paid off. She’s getting light where she needs it and airflow is perfect. You can already feel her presence. She’s not just growing—she’s preparing for bloom with intention. ⸻ ❤️ Thank You to the Dream Team • Seedsman Seeds – for giving us these genetics to explore • Aptus Holland – for their clean and powerful feeding philosophy • FOG LEDs & TrolMaster – for total environmental control • GrowDiaries – for the platform to share, learn, connect • To the community—friends, haters, lovers, fellow growers—you are all part of the rhythm • And of course, to Instagram, where we keep the vibes flowing daily 🌈 👉 Come join the journey at [@DogDoctorOfficial] 🎉 Don’t miss the Dognabis Cup - 1st Edition now open! ⸻ 🌙 Final Thoughts This week, we don’t rush her—we guide her. White OG is stepping into her flower phase with grace and strength. The roots are fed, the canopy is full, and the energy is shifting. One week closer to the magic. Let’s trust the process, respect the plant, and enjoy the ride. 🚀 With Growers Love, DogDoctor 🐾💚 As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

Week 6 starts tomorrow technically this went up at day 41. But I've started every week a day early so far so keeping with tradition we can do this again 😜 Slight purpling of the leaves I'm confident this is due to the cold night temps, I'm getting a heater today to warm her up a bit to try and kick start the growth again, buds are really thickening up, won't be long until they look like buds and not little balls of white hairs! The main Cola looks like she's going to be a big one! Exciting times! Day 42: Week 6 is here! Finally the buildings heating got turned up to a more acceptable level! Night time temps are up (18c), day time temps are up (26c) and I might be imagining it but the plant really responded to not being on the border of whats acceptable! Buds are very visibly forming day by day at the moment, really looking forward to what next week brings! I'm seeing more and more bud sites appearing all over the place, the Main Cola is becoming a decent size, all the secondary colas are growing in but I think she's gonna be heavy on popcorn buds too 😁 I'm wishing I was more experienced because I'd probably be a lot more excited about what she's doing, I assume she's going well but I have no idea how much buds will swell over the next few weeks, I'm just assuming they're going to fill out where the pistils are growing out to if that's the case oooowwweeee I've broken even at least! Loads of pictures gone up today, tried to get a picture of every cola/top that's forming and a decent number of the lower bud sites, that main cola though 😍 One of my main sun leaves has been shaded for about a week and the plant has only just decided to start cannibalising it, going pretty completely yellow and the edges are starting to go brown. I'm now 100% convinced this is because it's not getting light and isn't adding any benefit to the plant. I'll be taking that off in a few days I'm sure. I also have one sun leaf that got burned fairly early on in the grow and is now starting to get pretty seriously burned with each feeding, debating just taking it off too. It's the only leaf looking sick Day 43: Now I've raised the temps it seems a lot more of the nutes in the soil have suddenly become available and there's a bit of Nute burn showing on the plant in various locations, the first few fan leaves that were already burnt are now starting to die off anyway. I think we're getting to that stage where the plant starts cannibalising it'self by nature because those partially burned leaves are starting to look very sick whilst the rest of the plant looks healthy and green. New growth is still a bit purple I'm not sure what to do tomorrow, to feed or not to feed that is the question! Every day the buds are visibly swelling and growing taller, I'm getting more and more excited by the day! I'm uncertain about defoliating this girl, certainly the lower leaves that are dying off need to come off soon, one is completely yellow so I could do that almost any day now, but the burned leaves look like the plant is still taking nutrients out of them so I don't want to take away that valuable source! Top canopy is very bushy so I'm not sure she'd even notice, opening a grow question about this! Day 43: Updated - Tonight I trimmed the dead leaves ONLY (2 total, got nervous after this) there was the yellow leaf that had completely died and would have started to rot soon and one of the very burned leaves had also gone a very sick shade of yellow/green I went around the plant an tucked all the fan leaves covering the bud sites to try and get more light, except by the end of the day the plant had moved those leaves back into place, guess I need to let nature take her course! Tomorrow is a feeding day, she's started showing some early signs of def. in the topmost leaves, looking forward to feeding her and giving her a big boost of growth again 😁 I think we've about 4/5 weeks to go on this girl being ready! Day 44 - Feeding day, 1ml of Bio Bloom in 1 litre of water (750 ml with the mix in then followed behind with another 250 ml clean distilled water to help dilute it down further) this was the first time in a long time I actually got run off! Happy to report the PH at Run off was 6.5 which is pretty darn good! and the PH of the water provided was also 6.5 after nutes and PH balancing. Buds have thickened up again overnight! Day 45 - No pics this morning as I'm in a bit of a rush, will upload tonight, Humidity very high (65%) this morning but she did get a litre of water yesterday, seems to be drinking so much more water than ever before probably ready for a water tomorrow morning already! I think now is the time to stop droughting, the roots should be fairly well established and I want bud production to be the biggest focused, buds have swollen overnight again, the leaf mass is starting to spread out more and airflow is better, mould is a concern but looking to reduce humidity with a humidity pack very soon Day 46- Pistils are now starting to go brown, watering around 1 Litre every 48 hours today was a plain water day and the leaves are starting to turn yellow at the bottom, I understand this is normal for flowing but wonder if it's too early, started grow question regarding this Day 47 - The bud growth is incredibly noticeable! The top cola is starting to take a very nice shape, I've moved the lights around to get the lights closer to the other colas without burning the top one, a feat of engineering in itself! Each day the flowers get bigger and thicker!

We wanted to try to experience the effects of global warming. We are from a Mediterranean area that has made it possible to grow the oudoor up to the winter, they are not as big as the summer ones but very very frozen and of a purplish color that they take with the evening swings that you cannot get in the summer. It looks like a Smoothie but it's a gorilla glue.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

The looks on this one are sexy! It also burns even. Effects wise, first 15 mins you perceive a high cerebral rush that peaks at 30 mins. Makes you feel creative and with energy. Later on, the cerebral effect dissipates and leaves you feeling all giggly and relaxed in da body. The smell is all about sweetness and gas with a funky grapey smell hugging and keeping those close. Colors didn't showed much cause of the 24/0 light cycle but it ended up showing some purple hues during late bloom. Overall this girl was so fn grateful with the treatment she received.
