Just approaches week 7, I don't know when to initiate the dragon force, kill feed and then flush, iv gotta buy a camera lens this week to check trichomes but I'm nearing the end

WEEK 6 Things are going wonderfully with my plant. Thanks to LST, I’ve managed to create a really nice, even canopy, and the plant is already blooming actively. I expect a solid stretch in the coming weeks, and I’m curious to see how it turns out. If things keep progressing like this, it’s shaping up to be a truly great grow. Aside from that, I watered once and fed once this week. The plant seems to have responded very well to the switch to Plagron nutrients. I’ve also set my light to 500 PPFD this week.

Weather has been rainy and windy so she has been living under a shelter at nights and most days. The climate is getting moisty here so i decides to remove some fanleafs again to keep a good airflow. Buds are getting bigger and they make me wanna sing ' I like big buds and i can not lie..'

➡️ Bella ragazzi la caramellina cresce e sto cercando di dare una forma circolare anche a lei. ➡️ Tra poco inizierà ad andare in pre fioritura e vedremo cosa ci farà vedere.

Continued working on the mainlining structure. This week I performed a selective defoliation to remove leaves blocking the inner structure and improve airflow. I also applied some light LST, only to guide the branches and keep them level while the manifold continues to develop. No heavy stress this week, just fine tuning and letting the plant recover and grow evenly 🌱

I see some bugs

The plant has now fully transitioned into mid flower and is focusing entirely on bud production and resin development 🌸 Vertical growth has completely stopped and the structure remains stable at around ~100 cm. • Stretch fully finished • Bud production increasing steadily • Stronger aroma developing throughout the canopy Light intensity remains high at ~1000 PPFD ☀️ and the plant continues to handle it well. Water demand stayed consistent: • ~4L every 2 days using RO water 💧 Feeding this week was intentionally kept very simple: • BioBizz CalMag only • No additional nutrients Environmental conditions became slightly cooler: • ~24°C temperature • 50–55% RH 🌡️ Bud development is progressing nicely. Instead of becoming extremely wide already, the flowers currently seem to be developing more in length, giving the plant a very unique structure across the canopy 🌿 Trichome production continues increasing steadily and the aroma became significantly stronger this week ✨ The smell is difficult to describe, very sweet, somewhat jam-like and fruity, with a unique “confiture” character unlike previous grows 🍓 Overall the plant looks healthy, balanced and fully focused on flower production. Resin and aroma are now becoming a major part of the grow experience 🍩🔥

merry christmas🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎀🎀🌟🌟🎁🎁😍😍

56 dias y por lo más obvio cambio de ciclos a 12/12 y en el mando de las flores estaremos. El vegetativo ha sido equilibrado y sostenible y sin espacio a errores y overfert.

ME toco un fenotipo raro, con rasgos de flores tipo fenetrigo, con pequeñas flores minúsculas y hojas deformes, como quedas por el viento o parecieran sobre fertilizadas pero realmente es que vengo al mínimo de alimentación y está bien rara, mejoro el color del verde y las flores empezaron a mancharse de colores

Major defoliation/ lollipoping that happened this week right on day 20 my main concern was looking for more hermies (due to stem cracks from lst) and also cut out any lower branches that where going to make larfy buds. I only cut up the branches untill the point that the budsites where at least a nice pistil cluster (10and up ) some branches got a good 6-7 inches shaved off some more like 2-3 just depends on the plant with so much variety. Also my plants are like touching the lights it just wont let me mark less then 4inches i have the ability to raise my light another 2inches so i will definitely be doing that. For now i have the taller branches off to the sides so the can outgrow the light without burning. Smells finally starting to come in with more gassy earth coming from DD and devine chocolate GG4 smell coming from the mellows Still see some nitrogen toxicity not sure if should cut all nutes in half considerIng week three biogrow increases to 3ml/L

Mild flushes last week. Day 54/ Day 1 of Flowering. Fed and light defoliation.

Buds are fattening nicely and the 2 plants are receiving nutrients well. Will stop the PK in the next few days before scaling back on the A/B next week before fluching for the last fortnight. looking forward to harvesting this clone as I've just ran out of the bounty from her mother. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapse videos.

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

Week 14 from seed, and these Lemon Cherry Gelato girls really turned into something special. Not monsters in height, but absolutely massive in presence, density, structure, and expression. The kind of plants that surprise you when you finally grab the branches in your hands and realize how much weight and resin they actually built under a 12/12-from-seed run. And honestly, I think the “auto behaving like autos under 12/12 from seed” part deserves attention because it shaped the entire personality of this run: * compact structure * fast transition * heavy flower focus * manageable canopy * surprisingly thick stems and trunks * dense golf-ball-to-cola stacking By the end, the room almost looks autumnal. Deep yellows, oranges, fading greens, and swollen frosty flowers everywhere. That late-flower fade came in fast, but beautifully — and this is important to explain clearly because newer growers often panic when they see this. This wasn’t a deficiency disaster. This was the plant reaching the end of its natural cycle. As flowering progresses, especially late flower, the plant starts mobilizing stored nutrients from the leaves into the flowers. Nitrogen gets depleted first, chlorophyll breaks down, greens disappear, and the underlying pigments begin showing: * yellows * golds * oranges * reds/purples depending on genetics And because feeding had already been reduced heavily while the plants kept drinking aggressively, the fade accelerated naturally. The girls were essentially finishing themselves. You can actually SEE the energy redistribution in the photos: * leaves fading while buds stay swollen * pistils maturing * resin production peaking * calyxes stacking harder * stems thickening under weight And speaking of weight… those broken branches tell the story by themselves. No need to exaggerate anything there. When branches literally split under flower mass, especially in a relatively compact plant, you know the density became real. That stem split photo is beautiful because it captures the moment where biology and gravity start negotiating with each other. The trunk shots are wild too. Putting the Clipper lighter next to the base was honestly a perfect scale reference. You can immediately understand: “Okay… these girls drank for a reason.” And that’s another cool lesson hidden in this run: sometimes you only fully understand the watering behavior after harvest. Once the skeleton is exposed, the entire hydraulic system suddenly makes sense. Now onto harvest and drying. You made the right call not drying the entire plant whole in this case. These girls were dense. Breaking them into branches gives: * safer airflow * more even drying * lower mold risk * easier environmental control Especially with chunky late-flower flowers like these. The drying target sounds excellent too: * roughly 18–20°C * around 60% RH after the initial moisture release * gentle airflow, never directly blasting flowers And lowering humidity slightly during the first 24–48h to help the surface moisture escape before stabilizing is a very sensible move with dense material like this. Now the charas section is honestly one of the most beautiful parts of the update because it connects modern indoor cultivation to something ancient and human. Just handling fresh branches gave enough live resin to coat the fingers — technically charas, because it comes from fresh living plant material. That’s different from classic “finger hash” made during dry trimming. The distinction is subtle but important: * Charas = resin collected from fresh/live cannabis * Finger hash = resin collected while handling dried/cured material And charas has deep cultural and spiritual roots, especially in India and Nepal. For centuries, people in regions like the Parvati Valley and Himalayan foothills have hand-rubbed living cannabis plants to collect resin. Traditional makers — including sadhus and local hash makers — slowly work the flowers between the palms until thick dark resin accumulates on the skin, later rolled into temple balls or cream charas. Malana Cream became one of the most famous examples of this style: * handmade * live plant resin * mountain-grown cannabis * deeply tied to local culture and geography And yes, Lord Shiva is strongly connected to cannabis traditions in Hindu culture. Chillums, charas, bhang preparations, and ritual use all became intertwined historically with spirituality, celebration, meditation, and ascetic traditions. The bhang lassi mention is also a nice touch because many people outside India don’t realize cannabis has existed there culturally for centuries in forms beyond smoking alone. It adds depth to the update without glorifying anything artificially — more like acknowledging the historical relationship humans have had with this plant. Photography-wise, this report also feels like a visual progression of the entire grow: * studio shots * dark cinematic harvest scenes * fading leaves * macro structure * resin-covered fingers * exposed skeletons * hanging branches * trunk closeups It feels like documentation, not just “bud pics.” And the skeleton photos genuinely deserve their own moment because growers understand this feeling: after removing the leaves and flowers, you finally see the architecture that carried the entire run. Pure timber everywhere. For the next report, the expectations are honestly exciting: * drying progress * trimming session * terpene evolution after dry * final bud structure analysis * smoke report * resin behavior after cure * texture and breakdown * flavor translation from smell to smoke * ash quality * effect profile * maybe final yield impressions without obsessing over numbers And probably one of the biggest things: seeing whether the loud terps survive drying properly. Because right now, these girls ARE LOUD. And finally, yeah — thank everyone. The genetics. The nutrients. The LEDs. The environment. The gear. The platform. The old followers. The silent followers. The new people arriving now. The skeptics. The supporters. The people learning quietly in the background. A grow diary becomes more than a plant journal after enough weeks. It turns into a shared timeline people follow together. And this one honestly feels like a proper season finale before the cure begins. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

A day late but Yes looking good. You can observe the new set of leaves. She's adapted nicely into a bigger container.

Good little girls growing strong and healthy I think 🤔
