Einen wunderschönen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur neunten Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Heute dann doch mal wieder an einem Montag :). Ich habe es nach dem Mary-Jane-Wachenden leider noch nicht nach Hause geschafft. Allerdings habe ich paar Bilder vorproduziert, um hier nicht mit leeren Händen aufzutauchen. Ich bin die letzte Woche ein wenig durch die heimischen Wälder flaniert und habe den ein oder anderen Schatz bergen können. Aber alles der Reihe nach … Da ich messbedingt nicht bei den Pflanzen sein konnte und das mit dem Gießdienst an Dritte abgeben mal so, mal so funktioniert. Dachte ich mir, man muss der Verdunstung und der damit einhergehenden Trockenheit etwas entgegensetzen. Ich habe mich als kurz und knapp für eine Mulchschicht entschieden. Diese schützt nicht nur vor Austrocknung, sondern macht ebenso die obere Erdschicht für die Durchwurzelung brauchbar. Sie ist obendrein ein weiterer Schritt zu einem gesunden Bodennahrungsnetzwerk. Dieses wird durch die in dem auf dem Grünschnitt/Waldlaub enthaltenen Mikroorganismen (Protozonen, Wimperntierchen), welche durch das Belüften im Tank nochmals gefördert werden, noch einmal gestärkt. Last but not least führt der Mulch dazu, dass Schadorganismen das Einfallen in die obere Erdschicht erschwert wird. Aber was ist drin? Ähnlich wie schon beim Komposttee wird bakterienreiches organisches Material in einen Tank mit vorzugsweise Regenwasser gegeben und anschließend über einen gewissen Zeitraum belüftet (siehe Woche 5). Der wohl größte Unterschied zum Komposttee ist, dass wir eher auf das Material und nicht auf die Flüssigkeit aus sind. Dieses besteht zu ca. 90 % aus Grünschnitt (in meinem Fall eine Biokleintiermischung) und zu ca. 10 % aus Laub, welches ich in einem wenig bis gar nicht bewanderten Waldstück gesammelt habe. Die richtige Platzwahl: Bei der Platzwahl war mir wichtig, einen möglichst naturbelassenen Teil des Waldes auszusuchen, um eine Kontaminierung von bspw. Müll oder Hundeurin zu vermeiden. Ebenso habe ich nach Material Ausschau gehalten, welches schon Kontakt mit einem Pilzmyzel und dem ein oder anderen Regenwurm aufwies. Beides sind Indikatoren für ein gesundes Bodenleben. Zum Schluss … Nun einfach alles in einen großen Tank, Wasser drauf und Pumpe an. Belüftet wurde das Ganze für drei Tage. Danach das Material entfernen und luftig um die Pflanzen aus Ringen (leicht in den Boden einarbeiten). Um mit so wenig Waste wie möglich zu arbeiten, habe ich dann noch das Wasser gegossen. Dieses ist sehr reich an Mikroorganismen. Aber nun (besser spät als nie) noch ein paar Credits: Und zwar an Flo von Florganics, von dem ich das meiste Wissen um den Komposttee, die Erdmischung sowie auch das Mulchen bezogen habe. All die genannten Themen sind nochmal deutlich detaillierter auf seinem Yt-Kanal (Florganics) zu finden. Noch ein kurzes Wort zu den Damen: Soweit sehen alle sehr saftig und grün aus. Mit dem Toppen warte ich noch, bis ich wieder da bin. Alles in allem sollte am Ende doch ein wenig herauskommen (im Optimalfall 50 g/Person). Das war’s für diese Woche. Euch nun einen schönen Restmontag und einen guten Wochenstart. Peace

Day 48. Very busy week for me, this weekend I'll make a plan and we will see were each girl is ... Till then only pure water all week. Girls are starting to pump up and maybe I'll have 2 ounces from half of the plants, that's a lot better than my first view after holidays was ... There is one problem too, as seen in photos, one Lemonade OG in stucked in veg mode, her sister is second biggest plant in all tent after FB Strawberry Pie. Hope she will catch up others soon .... Happy Growing !!!

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10

Muy buena cepa, potente, productora y fácil de cultivar. El efecto fue exactamente lo que buscaba; intenté curar la yerba lo mejor que pude para poder preservar los terpenos y así disfrutar aún más. Cepa recomendada😄

I fiori diventano sempre più compatti e incominciano a sentirsi sempre di più i profumi delle cime Sono riuscito a stabilizzare la temperatura a 24.5 gradi con la lampada al 100% di intensità luminosa a 45cm dalle cime Questa settimana per pulire un po’ il substrato ho dato 2 irrigate a ph 6.4 e circa 100ppm

🌌 Cosmic Noodles — Week 9 From Seed (≈ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed) Divided Report — Growth vs Stress ⸻ Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run continues under 12/12 from seed, now entering: • 🌱 Week 9 from seed • 🌸 ≈ Week 5 of flowering At this stage, plants are expected to be: • Fully transitioned into flower • Actively stacking buds • Stabilizing structure after stretch However, this week became something more than a standard update… 👉 It became a controlled contrast experiment We now have three distinct expressions in the same environment: • Plant A → Stretch-driven structure • Plant B → Open, balanced, high-performance plant • Overwatered Plant → Intentionally stressed (root zone) Same room. Same feed. Same conditions. Different outcomes. ⸻ 🌊 The Overwatered Plant — Controlled Stress What was done This plant was intentionally overwatered to observe: • Root response • Recovery potential • Impact on flowering progression ⸻ 🔬 What overwatering actually does • Saturated medium → oxygen depletion in root zone • Roots lose function → nutrient uptake collapses • Plant shows deficiency symptoms without deficiency • Metabolism slows → flower development stalls ⸻ 👁️ Current Observations (Week 9 / Flower Week 5) From the visual timeline: • Heavy, swollen leaf droop (not thirst-related) • Necrotic/burnt leaf edges • Weak flower formation • Overall loss of vigor • No strong signs of recovery yet 👉 This is consistent with root hypoxia stress ⸻ 🛠️ Corrective Actions Taken • ✅ Full drainage of excess water • ✅ Substrate allowed to dry • ✅ Feeding paused (critical decision) • ✅ No additional stress applied This approach respects one key principle: 🌱 “Recovery is biological, not forced.” ⸻ ⚖️ Current Status — Honest Assessment At this moment: 👉 The plant is not showing a strong rebound And that’s important to state clearly. ⸻ 🔮 Possible Outcomes 🌱 Scenario 1 — Late Recovery (possible, but limited probability) • New growth improves • Leaf degradation slows • Buds continue developing (reduced yield expected) ⸻ ☠️ Scenario 2 — Progressive Decline (more likely) • Continued leaf death • Minimal metabolic recovery • Poor flower development ⸻ 👉 Either way, this plant has already fulfilled its purpose: It became a living demonstration of root zone importance ⸻ 🌿 Plant A — Stretch Expression Structure • Taller, more vertical growth • Longer internodal spacing • More “reaching” behavior Current State (Week 5 Flower) • Healthy foliage overall • Bud sites forming consistently • No stress signals 👉 This phenotype leans toward: 🌱 Structure over density ⸻ 🌿 Plant B — The Balanced Beast This one stands out immediately. Structure • Open architecture • Excellent light penetration • Strong lateral branching Response to Defoliation • Fast recovery • No visible stress • Continued aggressive development Flowering Progress • Clean bud stacking • Strong formation across canopy • Uniform development 👉 This is: 🌿 A plant fully aligned with its environment ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Outcome Analysis Defoliation was applied to the healthy plants. Results: • No slowdown • No shock response • Improved light distribution • Strong continuation of flowering 👉 This confirms: • Timing ✅ • Intensity ✅ • Plant health baseline ✅ ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Stability Check • 🌡️ Temperature → unchanged from previous week • 💧 Feeding → same regimen maintained • ⚖️ No variable changes introduced 👉 Critical insight: Differences observed are not environmental They are root-driven and plant-specific ⸻ 🧠 Key Lesson of Week 9 🌱 “In flower, roots dictate everything.” Even under identical conditions: • Healthy roots → explosive growth • Stressed roots → systemic collapse This week shows clearly: 👉 The plant is not just what you feed… 👉 It is what it can absorb and process ⸻ 🎥 Mr. Baggy — Introduction This week also marks: 🎬 The arrival of Mr. Baggy Even if limited visually in this update, his presence is now part of the journey. And honestly… perfect timing. Because this week represents: Real growing Not just pretty plants ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect — Moving Forward 🌿 Plant A & B • Continued bud stacking • Increased density over next 1–2 weeks • Gradual nutrient demand peak • Structure already defined → now focusing on weight ⸻ 🌊 Overwatered Plant Two paths remain: • 🌱 Slow stabilization (best case) • ☠️ Continued decline (most likely) No intervention planned beyond: Observation + stability ⸻ 🙏 Closing Words — From Grower to Growers To everyone following this journey: • The supporters • The silent watchers • The experienced growers • The beginners • The sponsors • The platform • The community 👉 Thank you. Not every week is perfect. Not every plant is beautiful. But every moment teaches something. And that’s the point. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@thedogdoctorofficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Plant 1: This was the highly trained and defoliated plant. It stayed the shortest and doesn't have very dense nugs likely because of its distance from the lights given the height of plants 2 and 3. Ended up with 2.5oz after 9 days of hanging. Plant 3: This was the second most highly trained plant. Not as much tying down so has some height. Nugs are more dense than plant 1. Ended up with 3.2oz after 10 days of hanging. OMG!!! Plant 2: dried and jarred. Final weight... 10.6oz!!! that's a total of 16.4oz for 3 autos! I'm so pumped...🤯😍🤘🤓📉00

Setup my new irrigation system. Will test it for my next watering. Plants are thriving in freedom farm soil with the qb 320. No nutes yet. Will give them some next watering. Kind of flushed the plants a bit when I was testing my irrigation. Oops. Day 18 topped the plants and gave the a half dose of GHE nutes

Soooo, da mir die lieben einen Ersatz Steckling zugeschickt haben sich aber mein erster einigermaßen erholt hat, dachte ich mir wir starten hier noch ein kleines Projekt auf meiner Fensterbank über den Sommer Hinweg. Würde sie jetzt gern noch eine Woche entspannt ankommen lassen im neuen Topf und dann schon mit dem LST Training beginnen. Muss sagen den Bio Tabs Dünger habe ich diesen mal nicht abgewogen und einfach mal von allem etwas in die Erde geschüttet. Denke da muss ich mir dann eh in den nächsten Monaten Gedanken machen wie ich die Lady am besten düngen werde :D Habe den Steckling mal vorsichtshalber aus dem Zelt genommen da er mit den Anschein macht gezwittert zu sein oder in der Blüte angekommen zu sein was ich super komisch finde Bin sehr gespannt was hier auf meiner Südseite passieren wird. 24.3 : da das Wetter hier bei mir die nächsten zwei Wochen eher schlecht ist und ich der Dame eine gute Licht Zeit gönnen will steht sie jetzt die nächsten Wochen noch mit im Zelt, solange ich dafür noch Platz habe. Denke ab Mitte nächsten Monat sollte aber die Sonne so lange scheinen das es kein Problem sein sollte sie auf die Fensterbank zu stellen, ab Mitte Mai kommt sie dann komplett raus.

Everything’s good here! RQS did a great job with this strain. And I keep enjoying the smoke from my last growth. Vaped at 180C it will make you sociable, taking your head and providing you great time while doing your stuff. Increasing the temperature at 190C or even 200C it will make you stick to the sofa for hours, while making you feel totally relaxed and stoned. Cheers!
