This platonium is a beast. Shes put on a huge stretch and has a nice amount of branches that are starting to grow some buds. I have them on half bloom and half grow now. Will probably cut our the maxigro in about a week and start them in a pinch if flower boosters. Other than that everything is running smooth.

Another week successfully completed... All the plants are developing very well, the flowers are plumping up nicely, and all the plants smell great... Everything is as expected, and now we're closer to the end than before... Happy growing to all! 🌱🌿💪

Quick update on the strains I have growing at the moment. Its a mixture of Photoperiod and Autoflowering strains. For the Photos I have Cream & Cheese CBD (Seedsman), Critical+, DinaMed+ (both DinaFem) and 3 Cherry’s (Elevator Supply Co). For Autos I have NYC Diesel (Barney’s Farm) and 3 BlackBerry’s (FastBuds) This week I’ve seen lots of nice growth overall, but especially with the photoperiod plants. The Critical +, Cream & Cheese CBD, DinaMed+ and Cherry all look great! The Barney’s Farm NYC Diesel Auto is also looking good! The Cherry is starting to look good too and one of the new seeds sprouted. One more Cherry seed left so this time I tried putting the seed in a jiffy pellet then putting the jiffy pellet into the soil. We’ll see if that helps get one more going. The first 2 Blackberry’s are stretching and developing bud sites. These 2 are a bit small, but the purple in number 1 is coming in nicely. I think the 3rd will be the champion of the bunch and outgrow her big sisters. My fault for trying to get a head start by a few weeks on the first 2 in less than ideal conditions. Live and learn. I’m going to keep all plants growing so everyone can see the good, the bad and the ugly. (I bet the ugly still gets me high as fuck!) 😜 New tents coming soon too. Another 2x4 and a 4x8. 👍 Video finally uploaded 😃

Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 87 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She is bulking vigorously at the moment and is drinking 3L every two days at this point, I have also increased her nutrients to ensure she is getting everything she needs 🙏🏻 She is looking so beautiful, her flower is getting so frosty and her aroma fills the tent and the room as soon as I open her up 🤩 very citrusy, possibly one of the best smells I've ever smelled!! She has been really easy to grow so far, and has only required her first bit of defoliation in weeks today; a couple of fan leaves under the canopy that weren't receiving light or were blocking the side lighting from reaching a bud site. I'm really impressed with this one, she is a winner!!!🙏🏻

Week 16 - Flo 7 weeks A successful flowering: all plants are almost ready. May be 10 days before the Final Cut. Decisive and exiting week: buds are pumping, becoming incredibly dense, hard, thick and resinous. The smell intensity is really problematic even with the carbon filter. Just a few yellow leaves on the base: no signs of deficiencies, just normal process. It’s time to start flushing The EnFun (2x120W) did the job. Good efficiency for little space.

🌈 LSD — Week 5 Veg Report 8×8 Tent | 12/12 From Seed & Short Veg Comparison 👋 Quick Welcome Welcome to everyone joining us now — and thank you for being here. This diary documents LSD genetics grown under a shared environment, with different early-life strategies (short veg vs 12/12 from seed), allowing us to observe how structure, vigor, and timing express themselves under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Overall Status — Week 5 All LSDs are doing beautifully — not as a figure of speech, but in structure, color, and behavior. • Strong vertical growth • Active lateral branching • Clear phenotypic differences depending on early light exposure • Early signs of pre-flower expression, which is fully expected at this stage There is no panic, no rush — just plants doing plant things. ⸻ Plant-by-Plant Observations 🌿 LSD #1 — Former Autopot Plant (Short Veg) • Initially placed in autopots • Showed early nutrient demand stress (“hangry” expression) • Removed from autopots and transitioned to regular feeding • Recovery is excellent: • Purple stems fading • Leaf color returning to healthy green • Strong upward momentum Structure & Behavior • 9–11 visible branches • Lower branches aggressively reaching upward • Clear sativa-leaning dominance in structure • Responds quickly to nutritional correction → a demanding but expressive genotype This plant tells us clearly: “Feed me, and I will perform.” ⸻ 🌿 LSD #2 — 12/12 From Seed • No autopot exposure • No nutrient issues observed • Grew entirely under 12/12 from seed Structure • 7–8 nodes • More compact internodal spacing • Heavy lateral branching • Balanced, controlled architecture Roots clearly prioritized first, followed by steady vertical growth — classic 12/12-from-seed behavior. ⸻ 🌿 LSD #3 — 12/12 From Seed (More Compact Expression) • Also 12/12 from seed • Even tighter internodal spacing than LSD #2 • Similar node count • Excellent symmetry and branch development This one reinforces the pattern: 12/12-from-seed LSDs are stacking nodes tightly while still branching hard. ⸻ 🔍 Key Insight — 12/12 From Seed Behavior This run is revealing something important: • These LSDs are vegging, structuring, and initiating pre-flower simultaneously • Behavior closely resembles autoflowers, despite being photoperiods • The same pattern is visible in the autoflowers sharing the room This suggests: • Time efficiency without sacrificing structure • Reduced “waiting” between phases • Early architectural decisions locked in sooner This is not a flaw — it’s a different rhythm. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals — What to Expect ✔️ Expect • Continued vertical stretch • Ongoing lateral branch expansion • Gradual, overlapping transition into flower • Plants “deciding” their final shape soon ❌ Don’t Expect • A sharp, sudden flip • A clean separation between veg and flower • Uniform behavior across all phenotypes These plants are layering growth stages, not switching them. ⸻ 🧠 Closing Thoughts This week confirms something important: When conditions are stable, plants don’t rush — they express. The differences we’re seeing are not problems. They are information. And we’re doing exactly what a good steward does: • observing • adapting • and letting the plants teach first Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it 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.

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 A6700 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.

Added a 2nd trellis, she stretched more than I thought

Had a panic attack this week!!! Found some little fast moving crawlers on my mulch. Most were on the leaves I had trimmed off during defoliation. I come to find out they are a type of mite that eat the decaying foliage and were likely already within the soil itself. Luckily no problem at all. Lots of new growth and they all seemed to respond well to the little LST and HST I’ve used (topping and fimming). Almost daily I come in and press the tops out or down to help spread the canopy before trellising. The purple queen is truly the most impressive lady in the garden at this point. The Citradelic Sunset is a close second. Both plants are expressing 11 finger fan leaves and have very thick branches. I’ve had to raise my lights to 60” and everything has responded very well. They received about 4 cups each of compost tea this week. I backed off my watering schedule to help with the soil saturation.

11/25 - day 67 - bushing and stretching. Will get in on day 21F for final defoliation. They will surely need it! All cultivars happy as can be, just adding water still. Getting exciting now!

Well, another week has passed and it has been growing not exactly as I expected, but they warned me about using only base fertilizers with an inert soil and a higher ambient temperature, I could have a not so good result, well, it's one more experience and I liked it and let's see how it will be until the end of the cycle because the next one I already ordered a starter kit from the advanced nutrients line! Let's Go!

So guys today is day 49 entering week 8, so 1 more week on the bio bizz heaven, top max and bloom. The weather in the UK is mad at the minute 28°c my grow room is the same with lights off and causing my a lot of humidity, thank god for the dehumidifier but I'm emptying it twice a day now. Buds are getting fatter and the fade is coming on. Just got to go in there and check on them, temp has dropped now even tho light is on. Humidity is sitting at 50%. I hope you like the video, happy growing peoples😊💚 ignore the ozzie man review voice at the beginning 🤣🤣🤣 Day 52 flower, buds are fat sticky and ready to harvest, im waiting for more of a fade as I reckon they will swell more, I think another week and its time for the chop. Any questions or advice please feel free to hit me up. Day 54, done a slight defoliation at there was a lot of leaf on leaf, I should of used cropguard for piece of mind 😅 next run I will trust me. I have started the ripener 5ml to a litre I will be running this for the next 7-10 days and then rinsing with there rinse aid for 4 days so aiming for harvest on the 24th-25th latest 😀. Happy growing famalam 💚

Was a busy week in this tent . Needed my 2x4 tent for some tutankhamon that I have coming up so this big girl got a roommate . Starting to have to feed her every day and a half and she's drinking 1.75 gallon each time . Also had some leaves higher up taco and the tips of the edges go brown and figured out that I sm pretty much over driving the plant with the light . So dropped it down to 70% for now to see how it reacts .

Things to look forward to this week: More defoliating! Just trying to strike that balance of airiness and photosynthesis. Plus, I gotta get rid of a bunch of useless back-budding throughout the girls. Focus on that canopy! New dehumidifer on the way. It should be running by Wednesday. Hoping to get down the 45% RH for some arbitrary reason! And it will help me cure better too. I keep telling myself the money is worth it. Started treating my water with some calcium hypochlorite, a.k.a. pool shock, at a rate of 2 PPM which I've worked out to 0.15 g for 50 L (my standard tank build). That doesn't sound like much, but it is detectable on the nose. I'm not concerned about 2 PPM ending up absorbed in the plant, it takes in a certain amount of chlorine anyway and this is well below cannabis' phytotoxicity, apparently. The takeaway: it's safe, just like using city tap (many places) to water plants. 8/5/2019 - The girls look great. Went through and removed a lot of growth with a better sense of what to cull. Snipped a load of bud growth branches that would never make it to the top. They were mostly skrawny sucker branches and a few that would have made nice colas if they managed to reach the light. Gonna be picking out root rot and treating with H2O2 for the dead roots from site 5. Starting to see some brown, just need it not to spread to the living plants. Treating with a 2 PPM chlorine dosage to the reservoir. Had to purge the accumulators anyhow, so everything is being treated with antimicrobial now. I won't get to see them until after work tomorrow, any changes in health will be evident. 8/9/2019 - Dehumidifier #2 arrived today. It shows delivery at 12:20 and the driver placed it right-side-up, so I am good to start it right away. Immediately, I am a little surprised at how warm the air is coming out of this thing. I'll keep an eye on temps.... 8/10/2019 - Wow, the reservoir from the dehumidifier filled up in the middle of the 12 hour cycle and shut off automatically. Really pulled a lot of water out of the air! The temps got too high though. Not too long after lights on today, they temp read 90 degrees F, and I can't have that. Moved dehumidifier outside of tent and now draining into 5 gallon bucket. The tent is moving enough air that the humidity inside and out is the same. Seeing if it can lower the humidity enough outside the tent to benefit.

The bud are dense and covered in trichomes. Very tasteful in vape (Utilian 722). It taste like creamy berry. The buzz start with a head rush to finish with a body buzz. Sometimes the head rush is a bit to much. I don't know if it's because of this pheno or the genetic or due to a bad flush. Overall I'm very satisfied with my first harvest and I will keep the Glue Gelato to smoke it.

Hi guys So I think they are laying there roots down properly now. The ladys are all stretching nicely. I do have a freak show the dog bitten and its growing really weired so ill keep that as a side project in the room. I expect alot of new growth this week. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚

Day one of flowering. Might up my watering to half a gallon. Trying to let them dry out and not use any more water then needed.

Cinderella out the tent and right before harvest

So guys , after 4 days o germination in 0.3L pots , i decided to move them for 10-14 days in 2L plastic pots . I use the BioBizz Light Mix Soil , first time also , but until now i ve used beside the feeding scheudle also Soil with High Levels of NPK , so we burned the plants and stoped them grow. A LUMIX 250 W vegetative light bulb keeps them warm and in 2 weeks abot , i will do tge last transplant in the 15L fabric pots . Gold Label Nutrients and Supliments , whole professional line in small bottles ( think some of them will last for years ). Visible Mistakes and worries : - dont know if the Light Height is good now - when should i start the spider-mites and other acarians treatment or pre treatment -what level of humidity should be inside in diffrent growing stages -I m so scared about Male plants , i have no experience at all how to spot them I had a hard week , hope you had a better one . See you later !

Skipped a week in my journal due to travels. Had my neighbor water my plants. Having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants (particularly the chem brulee)... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. This is their first ever bottled feeding. Have been running on supersoil and a prayer. Also top dressed everything and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. Leaves have been yellowing on all three. Mostly relegated to the interior of the plants. Chem Brulee is looking a bit too yellow overall, as well. French Macaron is a 66in. Chem Brulee is 56in. Pineapple Meatball is 45in. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably at least once per week. Don't want to overdo it. Also top dressed with my flowering top dress mix and mulched all plants with a thin layer of rice straw. 8/4 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap 8/5 Sprayed with Gravenstein Apple FFJ and OHN 8/6 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap (this will likely be the last time I spray with Neem Oil, as I don't want residual oils as buds start swelling. Also fed 1/4 strength FOOP to ensure we head off any deficiencies.
