Did my last lite defoliation and cut off low dead/dying branches! 4 or 5 more weeks until harvest!

This week she has been bulking those nuggets peppered all over, I am hoping she can be healthy enough to swell those Calyxes, because she was stressed few times during her growth and the last one is the change from hps to leds... She had to adapt to those intense leds... Found spider mites on one plants next to her but they are not interested in her, still found few on her and did a careful inspection/eradication but only 4 were found... I think she stink too much for them lol that gassy fuel from the swamp is not on their list! Only water this week she was given. I am trying not to rub those sugar leaves for a sniff too often!🙄😜 It seems the less I touched them the better they are😁, so I use a wooden stick now when I need to move leaves or buds. She is becoming one of my favorite plant, she is fussy yes but very special smell and look, I am so pleased I have made cuttings this time in case and if her high is as good as her smell she will be the first mother plant I will try to keep!

They seem to enter pre flower, did a lot of defoliation.. everything looking good.

Third plant that started as worst seed and was in slightly worse soil setup and pot actualy seems to be on the way to become the most yielding one. Thanks to its bigger pot (16 l instead of 12 l) and one more week of veg it grew the largest. This week i got back home from my summer trip and applied some low stress training to get more sun to the bottom leaves. By the 7 weeks I was gone the plants were fed just water and still look amazing to me. Hight of the tallest plant is 65, and the other two are 55 and 50.

🌌 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.

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.

hello. this is the first plant I have used big bud and bud candy but I don't test the water and the plant was damaged with high PH so I had to buy a PH meter and TDS meter so wish me luck with other plants

06/04 DEFOLIACIÓN NUEVAMENTE DE A POCO PARA QUE FLORES DE ABAJO COMIENCEN A AGARRAR LUZ Y ASÍ CRECER Y RESINAR MÁS. DESDE 02/04(SEMANA 3) AGREGÓ B52 2ML/L AL RIEGO CON FERTILIZANTES

UPDATE : The plant has now been transplanted into a 5 gallon fabric pot which had been pre watered before hand, I also added some great white mycorrhizae that @MrG was kind enough to send out for me shes been happy with the new transplant growing much more everyday she is almost ready for her 1st top in a couple days but here how she looks as of today there is no point in using any mycorrhizae when using sythentic salt nutes as every time you feed it will just flush the stuff away but i played it smart and transplanted a day after water therefore it had a couple days to sit in the mycorrhizae and possibly work, who knows wether it benefited the plant but was worth a shot and still had rapid growth after doing so, it was 3 days after transplant when i watered so it possibly could of got to work in the mean time before i flushed it away also the morning after transplant i increased the light intensity only by +100ppfd 30% power Temps - Day 24-27 - Night 21-19 RH - 60-75 VPD - Day 0.6kpa - 0.8kpa - Night - 0.5kpa-0.7kpa (roughly) I have started to also feed nutrients at small dosages its been 8 days since there 1st feeding and they seem fine from my knowledge but i did water until run off and tested the EC/PPM of it and it was way too high so i think next water im going to have to flush heres what happend water hardness before feeding was 124ppms water run off hardness risen to 1140ppms 1140ppms is way to much the veg stage and i need to lower it down which i will do so in 3 days in the mean time ill keep a close eye on the girl Happy Growing :)

Servus Moin! Die Black Orchard hat wohl ein wenig Hitzestress und sie war dadurch zu lange nass. Das hat ein wenig die Blätter missgebildet und eingerollt. Mal schauen ob es wirklich nur der Stress war.

Finally got the time to sit down to do some maintenance and training on this girl🙌 It was a wet and rainy Sunday on 7/25 so we pushed back our Farmers Market a day and I got to get soaked in the garden😅 Cleaned up the interior, removing discolored fan leaves that weren't getting enough light and small branches growing inward that wouldn't amount to much. Then I did some LST with 4' Bamboo stakes and PGarden EZ Soft Plant Ties. I staked 4 main branches to open up the interior for better light penetration and air circulation👍 When it was all said and done I brought the trim back down to the barn as a treat for my horse Kestrel, he loves snacking on trim leaves! I also switched the the Neptune's Harvest Rose and Flowering as we're approaching flowering time and also gave them some good old fashioned Crosby's Molasses to get those sugars going!

La temperatura sigue elevada debido la zona, pero las plantas no presentan problemas y se cuenta con buen sistema de ventilación. Día 18 noche se riega con 1ml/L de Top Veg, fertilizante de crecimiento de TopCrop. Día 19 segundo día de entrenamiento

FIRST HARVEST!!! I did it I learned allot next yield will be BIGGER but overall the quality is THERE working on the vcure for sure but loving the old school way for my first grow its only right

So close yet so far

Blütetag 5 | Tag 49 gesamt 🌡️ Klima & Setup Alles stabil im grünen Bereich – keine Auffälligkeiten. Die Dripper laufen jetzt sauber durch und halten die Feuchtigkeit konstant im Substrat. Genau so soll’s sein. 🌱 Pflanzenstatus Die Mädels haben die Übergangs-Zickenphase endgültig hinter sich gelassen: 👉 Erholt, eingewurzelt und wieder im Vorwärtsgang. Die 19L Pots sind jetzt voll angenommen, Wachstum zieht sichtbar an. Chicken & Waffles: Stretch-Maschine 👑 – lange Internodien, sehr vital Strawberry AK: kompakt & buschig – wird später gut fürs Lollipoppen Fruit Bomb Punch: deutlich stabiler, kommt jetzt sauber hinterher 💧 Bewässerung / Dripper-Test 👉 Läuft. Und sie feiern’s. Konstante Versorgung zeigt direkt Wirkung: entspannter Wuchs, gleichmäßige Entwicklung. Das Timing fühlt sich aktuell schon ziemlich on point an. 🌸 Blüte / Stretch (BT 5) Seit ein paar Tagen auf 12/12 → Stretch hat begonnen, aktuell noch kontrolliert. Erste Vorblüten sind da, alles im Plan. 🔜 Ausblick Stretch wird jetzt weiter anziehen Erste leichte Strukturarbeit steht an (Ausdünnen / Lollipop vorbereiten) Dripper ggf. feinjustieren, aber aktuell sehr stabil Fazit: Die Zicken sind durch – jetzt läuft der Laden. Setup greift, Pflanzen liefern nach. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯 Grow on 🌱 🇬🇧 Flower Day 5 | Day 49 overall 🌡️ Climate & Setup Everything stable – no issues. The drip system is running smoothly and keeps moisture levels consistent. 🌱 Plant Status Recovery phase is clearly over: 👉 Rooted, settled, and pushing growth again. The 19L pots are fully utilized now. Chicken & Waffles: stretch leader 👑 – wide internodes, very vigorous Strawberry AK: compact and bushy – perfect for later cleanup Fruit Bomb Punch: much more stable, catching up nicely 💧 Irrigation / Dripper Test 👉 Working perfectly – plants love it. Consistent watering = smoother, more even growth. Timing already feels well dialed in. 🌸 Flower / Stretch (Day 5) A few days into 12/12 → stretch has started but still controlled. First flower signs are showing, everything on track. 🔜 Outlook Stretch will increase Light defoliation / lollipop prep coming up Minor irrigation tweaks if needed Conclusion: The “diva phase” is over – now it’s running smooth. System works, plants respond. In the end, the jar decides. 🍯 Grow on 🌱

Comienza la semana 7 de floración, algunas hojas de abanico siguen amarilleando, yo diría que ya no tienen muchos nutrientes en el sustrato, añadí una dosis de fertilizante orgánico para floración en el último riego y ya creo que regare solo con agua asta en final, creo que les quedará un par de semanas mas. Los cogollos cada vez huelen más a limón 🍋 me encanta su olor es muy dulzón, es como limón dulce ! Oler esto y ponerte un limón en la nariz es lo mismo si cierras los ojos! No puedo esperar a desgustar esos cogollos! Por lo que estoy viendo no es una cepa muy productiva ,de producción media diría yo, quizás fue mi culpa y comenti algún fallo encuanto a la nutrición, en cuanto a calidad es un 10 , su perfil de terpenos es tremendo, me tiene loco! El clon de amnesia huele a chicles de menta boomer , el olor es inconfundible! Me encanta 🤩 pero si fumo a menudo amnesia me cansa… el clon zkittles es el que más apesta , no se de que banco proviene i no sé si realmente será zkittles, me lo regalo un amigo y simplemente me dijo que era zkittles. En fin esto va llegando a su fin, seguiré informando y añadiendo fotos los próximos dias. Un saludo 👋 😎👍

Erster, photoperiodischer Outdoorgrow. Hätte einiges besser machen können, jedoch hatte die Pflanze keine Schädlinge und hat sich insgesamt gut entwickelt :) Habe leider keinen Südbalkon aber bin trotzdem happy mit dem Ergebnis!

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es muy fácil de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado muy bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que está bien explotada y que va repleta de tricomas. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue sucficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba.
