🌈 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.

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.

I harvested a week earlier , because I spotted some minor bud rot in lower branches. I don't know why, bud I could not see any sign of bud rot in the bigger buds. I just found them , because I found some twisted sugar leaves, which is in most causes a bullet proof sign. The plant overall seemed to be in a pretty good condition, with minor nitrogen deficiency and some potassium/phosphorus. The last to, I should have added a small amount more, to make the buds a bit more dense, but the current state is ok. Although , it was a complete outdoor grow, pushing bud density would probably have gotten to a more a more bud rot state. This plant is really easy to grow, she almost runs for itself and does need little to no care. I chose a big pot , 25 liters , added 12 liter of light Mix and filled the rest with Coco and perlite. After that, I barely added nutrients and just waited for signs of deficiency, which barely occurred. Aroma: The aroma ist very sweet and some kind of fruity, but not generic , it is outstanding in its own kind of way. You're definitely missing lemon scents, but I think it's more of orange . There are no signs of earthy , peppery or stinky smells. Just pure sweet fruit. Unfortunately it means, I can not smell " cookies". But I thing this also happens to a lot of " cookie" strains and is often exaggerated, if claimed. I hung her up in my whine fridge , 16°C and 60% rlf for the first few days. After that, I turned rlf down to about 52%. She smells exactly like she did outdoors. Her smell does not hit you in the face. But if you smell it, it is really pleasant and calming. The smoking test be added , after I tested it for a few days. Overall in growing this variety, I rate this strain 8/10. I would would give this strain more stars, if I could really smell cherry and cookies. Unfortunately, the cherry smell combines more with the overall fruity smell, which makes it hard to isolate it. I can definitely recommend this strain to beginners, if they seek a user friendly hybrid with a guaranteed nice (bag)-appeal and reliable sweet, but not kushy aroma. A pro grower will definitely hit bigger scales, if grown indoors and preferably in Coco / hydro. I hope you enjoyed my conclusion and take it consideration, when you plan to buy some beans. Happy grow to all of you 🤝🌱

Another week in the books, one maybe 2 more to go, if the weather holds and humidity doesn't go crazy. Since grow diaries doesn't support more than 32 weeks, it's a bit of a pain to track the rest of this grow. Still I will post updates.

I think i might did cut off too much leaves, but idk :( some advice would be nice, or just tell me your opinion :D

Obvious indicas starting to bulk. sativas still stretching.. Started upping additives for resin and terpene production. Not sure if it's worth it on unknown strains, but giving it a go anyway.. I know what these seeds produce in soil, so should be able to compare end product.. Getting problems in the kratky..Changed over to using vitaponix (bought a sample pack) - and am getting what looks like root rot.. Ai is now telling me it could be a good time to lower my Canna a to 2.5mlpl and keep b at 4mlpl. to lower nitrogen intake. give that a go next week. Have combined week 4&5 pics.

Day 43. Girls still on water, but they are getting bigger, need more water, so installed trays, gave them a lift from ground and hopefully this weekend heavy LST and defoliation session with light BioBizz FishMix feed . All girls are nice, two a bit smaller, but they should catch up. Made small shuffle , sometimes it looks to me, that one light is overperforming others in veg. Day 45. Heavy training, loads of lst and defoliation, pure phed water. Think to give them 2 more weeks before flip, will clear up in a week all small shoots and bottoms. Happy Growing !

So far so good she is loud but the volume ain't cracked up yet...until nxt week happy growing

The blue kush is a savage auto from dinafem. This plant almost died in week one of flower and I missed that weeks entry because I was more interested in saving it than that weeks diary. She’s at week three day four and a beast. Filling out nicely even though her neighbor is crowding her. She’s required very minimal pruning and all of her bud sites are producing worthy keepers.

Update day 10 of transition to bloom this Goofiez 2 it’s soy strong !!

Finally starting flowering :D

Nearly there 😅

Left tent is a week ahead. Fair amount of stretching this week. This time I’m paying close attention to keep flower sites high up. My experiment with bottom lighting did not went so great. I had a record yield but the quality was really bad in about 30-35% of flowers. Weak density. I’m definitely going to try again from the beginning but not this time. I have to pay attention to not let any plant get to big of a dryback in veg. It really influences the later stretching and make the plant too compact in sensitive cultivars.

Left to right: All Gas x Cali Octane (Promo), Banana Butter Cups, Gelato, OG Triploid. Pictures taken day 48 of flower, just started into week 8. I messed up last week and uploaded pictures that were still from week 6, but I'll just leave it as is. I found one small bud with botrytis, seems to have been the only one, so not too worried there. The far red is really showing its effects now, all of these normally take 63-68 days to finish, as it is I think I can chop around day 58. Combined with the super short veg, I could do 5 runs like this a year. BBC is fading nicely, was growing strong. The others didn't use up the nutrients, even though its been straight water only with microorganisms and some kelp added every two weeks. I didn't do any pH correction and the tap water here comes out at pH of 8 and 0.8 EC, I cut it to 0.4 EC. Impressive! I am not getting sponsored by biotabs, but I am amazed what just the tab itself without any of the product line is achieving. I am sure, you can push the plant more, but I love the keep it simple approach. Next round I am going to add a Blumat self-watering system and just check in on the plants once a week. Edit: Harvested at day 56, the far-red took off a solid week - as expected. Smell was intense, they had 36 hrs of darkness before harvest, will hang until I get back Saturday evening and then go into the winecooler I modified. Currently at 19 C and 50% humidity, bit too dry, but it's only for two and a half days, so I'm not worried. The biotabs didn't fully dissolve in the 9 weeks they were in the pot, next round I will break them up a little. Only the BBC really faded, I hope the taste won't be too much on the nitrogen side 😬 harvest update will follow as soon as they are dry, so probably in another two weeks from now

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions! Pour préparer votre solution, dans votre réservoir ou arrosoir : Mettre en premier la base (Iguana) Ensuite Ancient Earth Et enfin les bactéries ASSUREZ-VOUS D'UTILISER UNE EAU DE BONNE QUALITE (EC < 0,2) POUR DE MEILLEURS RESULTATS. J'utilise un substrat non enrichi pour permettre le meilleur départ à mes plantes. Il s'agit du Promix de Plagron, il a une EC proche de 0, c'est pour cette raison que je commence les engrais assez fort dès le début. Les plantes sont très gourmande sous LED haute intensité et l'enracinement est rapide. J'arrose tous les 3 jours environ avec 2 arrosages à l'engrais et 1 à l'eau par semaine. Je n'attend pas que le substrat sèche complétement sinon ça réduit l'efficacité de l'arrosage, ça détruit la faune et éventuellement facilite la cristallisation des minéraux. Au niveau du volume d'arrosage, il faut prendre en compte 1/3 de la taille du pot. Pour un pot de 1L je vais donc arroser environ 300ml. Pour un Pot de 10L je vais arroser environ 3L. Il est important d'arroser doucement pour éviter que l'eau ne coule tout de suite au fond. Il est important d'avoir au moins 15% de drain pour s'assurer d'évacuer tous les nutriments non consommé et faire la place aux nouveaux. IL EST PRIMORDIALE D'EVACUER L'EAU AU FOND DES COUPELLES, c'est une eau qui est chargée en nutriments non consommé et on ne veut pas qu'elle remonte dans les pots car cela risquerait de créer des blocages. Au niveau de la technique de taille de formation, je réalise tout de suite une FIM que je reproduirai dès que l'apex aura repoussé. La première FIM est la plus longue mais les suivantes sont très rapide car la plante s'habitue à la technique et cela la stress beaucoup moins. En général il faut reproduire la FIM tous les 3 à 4 jours en fonction de la vigueur. C'est une technique très facile à mettre en œuvre et ne demande aucun matériel. C'est aussi la plus rapide pour obtenir des buissons. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions concernant la FIM! Je retire également les feuilles supérieur (pas toute pour éviter de ralentir la plante) qui cache les secondaires pour augmenter l'efficacité de la FIM sur la croissance des secondaires.

Just started flower, put the light a bit higher cause she was quite bushy and wanted her to stretch a little more Fed her with the veg nutes one last time She's looking absolutely ready Defoliated and LST'ed again, should have done this in veg but she hadnt stretched enough yet

Last week. She is an absolute beast! Can‘t wait to harvest her. D79: 2l with Flawless Finish. Harvest is in two days D81: Harvest. Will update in a week
