Little late on the upload of the diary. She has made day 56 with no real issues. Minor leaf damage from a few pests. The weather has been mostly sunny with 2 days of rain. Purple hues are starting to show up in the buds!😍

She's growing nicely. She's staying indoors this summer. This is suppose to be a good medical strain for headaches/migraines, I'm hopeful for my migraines will diminish with this strain.

Hacemos domingo 4 mayo te aireado y echamos 22 gr de top dress

Alle sind schön in der Blüte außer die Kaputte Genetik die braucht noch paar Tage. Weiter LST.

Everyone is coming out gently. Needed to dig just a bit for some late ones, as I was suspecting, they were stocked under some lil pieces of wood that you can find in organic soils. Watering only once again, after 7 days since last watering, with some more RootBooster. Needing about 60 to 100 ml of water for each cup, till the drain comes out. Seedlings are about 30cm from the neon tubes, under a light airflow to avoid any looney growth. All the conditions are perfect and under control, technically it’s a nice spring weather in the room.

Wow they’re starting to smell so good and bud up so well. Shout out to @barneysfarm @zamnesia for these amazing seeds I can’t wait for them to finish. I figured out the probelm was the calmag, the girls are loving it 5 weeks to goo!

Day 8 of flower - first lollipopping - away with everything below 2/3 of plants height. So much leaf matter taken away 😥 Tomorrow is watering and feeding day.

4 semana na flora, começando a apresentar tricomas e o cheiro está incrível,doce frutado,com notas terrosas. Super Mobydick Latitud Sur seeds.

Hello growmies. We are reaching the end of the journey! I enjoyed the experience so much that I will repeat it. I'll take a look at the trichomes to decide when to cut it. 4 Setembro - flush a todas as plantas com água muito fria (3L a cada).

Harvested today, buds are looking nice and frosty. Happy with my first grow outcome. Bud washed half of them to see if there is a major difference once dried and cured. Also had a small mite problem with the ones I washed. (Doc method) Will dry upside fro 5-7 days then put those babies in mason jars with humidity packs (62) Will weigh and shoot picks when dried and trimmed.

Day 45 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Lemon skittles and XXL ammo are tall, bud nice and smelly plants! The Kabul is more of a dense compact build, I'm excited to see what they grow into 😍 Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 48 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 💪💚 Vid + pic update ✌️💚

🔥 SOUR DIESEL — The Ascension of a Legend Germination Report — Special Edition 8×8 Last 2025 Run ⸻ PART I — THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND 1. Origins in the Shadows of the East Coast Long before dispensaries, strain catalogs, and global cannabis culture, there was a raw, underground era — a time when growers traded cuts like sacred treasures and seeds traveled through word of mouth. From that world, deep within the 1990s New York and East Coast scene, Sour Diesel was born. Her creation wasn’t planned. It wasn’t designed. It was destiny — forged by accident, survival, and raw genetic power. ⸻ 2. The Accidental Ancestry The story goes like this: A ChemDog ’91–dominant hybrid hermaphrodited during a run, releasing stray pollen that landed on a nearby Super Skunk / Northern Lights female. From those seeds emerged something no one expected: • The fuel-soaked punch of Chem • The acidic sour electricity of Super Skunk • The foundation strength of Northern Lights A grower sprouted them… and one plant rose above everything — the now-mythic Diesel. Her aroma was so fierce, so unmistakably sour, that she earned her name within minutes of her first cure. ⸻ 3. Rise to Mythic Status Sour Diesel spread through New York like fire: • A cerebral rush unlike anything else • A terp profile that floods a room instantly • A clone-only legend for most of her early life By the early 2000s, she wasn’t just a strain — she was the identity of the East Coast cannabis movement. People crossed states for a cut. Growers protected her genetics like heirlooms. Smokers remembered their first hit for years. To this day, Sour Diesel is spoken of with the reverence reserved for royalty. And this diary will follow one seed — a direct descendant of that legacy. ⸻ PART II — THE OFFICIAL GERMINATION REPORT (Special Edition ) 1. Overview & Intent Unlike the other folders in the 8×8 run, this Sour Diesel will not follow the 12/12-from-seed protocol. A legend deserves tradition: • Light Cycle: 18/6 • Future Veg Duration: 2–3 weeks • Purpose: Highlight natural Diesel vigor, structure, and expression This report focuses on one selected seed, chosen from a germinated batch specifically for this diary. This plant will be the face of the Sour Diesel lineage for the entire run. ⸻ 2. Seeds Started & The Chosen Phenotype • Multiple seeds were germinated • One seed displayed unmistakable Diesel traits from the beginning: • Fast, aggressive taproot • Superior symmetry • Confident seedling posture • Sharp leaf morphology She has been chosen as the singular protagonist of The Ascension of a Legend. ⸻ 3. Environmental Conditions All conditions match the main room’s baseline: • Light: 18 hours light / 6 hours dark • Temperature: Stable, optimal range • Humidity: Supportive, with micro-condensation forming naturally • Medium: Identical substrate and workflow used across the project for consistency She will meet the rest of the cohort in approximately two weeks. ⸻ 4. Germination Performance The chosen seedling performed flawlessly: • Immediate germination • Strong, straight taproot penetration • Rapid cotyledon lift and expansion • Zero deformities or hesitation From the very first hour, she behaves like a plant that knows she carries history. ⸻ 5. Macro Photography Observations Macro imaging reveals the intimate details of her early development: • Micro-droplets on serrations resemble liquid diamonds under magnification • Leaf texture already shows thin sativa structure, a Diesel signature • Early cell development is visibly active • Light refraction on hydrated surfaces creates that signature “Diesel sparkle” These photographs elevate the documentation into an art form — the micro-world of a macro legend. ⸻ 6. Early Vegetative Behavior (18/6) Under classic veg lighting, she displays: • Ambitious vertical intent • Rapid leaf development • Strong metabolic rhythm • Balanced early node spacing She is clearly preparing for the explosive growth Sour Diesel is known for. ⸻ 7. The Road Ahead Over the next weeks: • She will continue veg under 18/6 • Macro photography will capture her transformation • At Week 1 Veg, I will prepare a special report titled: 🔥 “Sour Diesel — Rise of the Prime Phenotype” • She will later join the 12/12 cohort, standing out as the seasoned champion of the room FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 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. – 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.

De momento estoy regando con agua mezclada con enraizante natural a base de lentejas y bio heaven.

I gave her a good trim. Fed her some bat guano juice. Now she is drying off for 2 days to use up that power…you can smell her 4 feet incoming.

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

Finally my plants show me flowers. Temperature rise to 27 and good decision. because my plants growing very faster. I recommend to anyone: temperature in grow stage and first week in flower 27 Celsius

Plants took a few days to get stripped down. Missed the second week of flowering and stretching but oh well there is always next time. Very excited to see this canopy full of uniform buds its going to be a sight to behold haha.

July 18 - entering the final 3 weeks of Veg for these soon to be Monsters - feeding and fertilizing plans have worked really well to this point in time. Not one crispy tip on a leaf, thats just amazing with so many plants. (One autoflower had a meltdown, pH related / doa) - Machupi’s Lady gets a visit today. Once it left my hands, there happened to be a Name Tag incident with 5 plants. And its not the first time X (my buddy) has been involved. * Thankfully this one Private Strain has developed SOOO much differently than the other 4 identical plants, its a no-brainer now as to where Machupi’s Lady is… pictures to follow. Its a day of discovery. Leda Uno x T.N.R. (Both from kc brains and the first time seeds from this pair have been grown) - for the first time I’ve posted both congo plants, you can see how the windy environment has stripped the plant, of any smaller internal leaves. The Protected Congo is building a really dense ball of foliage. 20th - TLC has been applied to some of the plants, ahead of a big storm coming our way. Bamboo tripods affixed woven through a side-branch, joined to two others. Bamboo is 6’ and is stuck/hammered 5” into the ground easily, securely. Lets the main stalk move kinda-sorta, but its always being anchored in at least one direction. - with Bilbo Haze out of the picture (4/4 male plants arghhh, gurgling slow-death sound) I have invited a Honduras x Panama sativa, from good ole Ace seeds to join us. Shes been there all along, same birthday etc. I’ve never tasted it, truly taking my collection for a walk this Summer 21st - big winds have split one of the CloudWalkers; of course, the one that was topped. With 2 plants outside this summer, that have been modified by each FIM and Topping, both of them has failed and Split. Each was and is being repaired; rope / duct tape. But thats the last limb loss for any outdoor plants right now… LST ROCKS - the other CloudWalker is Robust, and still on the Menu
