🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Vegetative Light: F.O.G. – Black Series 600W Pots: 11L Zamnesia Fabric Pots Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent Watering: Hand Watering CO₂: 632 ppm Room Temp: 27°C Humidity: 57.4% Water Mix pH: 5.83 EC: 1.01 Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 🌱 The Transplant Ritual – Rooted in Respect This week marked a milestone for our girls, the only transplant they’ll experience. From germination pods to their final homes: 11L fabric pots filled with a handcrafted super soil mix built to support them through the entire grow cycle. And what a moment it was, roots white, strong, healthy, bursting with promise. We took our time, handling each one with care, giving them the space to breathe, stretch, and claim their territory. ⸻ 🌾 Why Fabric Pots? Fabric pots offer an environment where roots can breathe, not spiral. This air-pruning effect encourages a denser, more efficient root system, ideal for healthy nutrient uptake, pest resistance, and overall vigor. The 11L size gives them just enough space to thrive, while staying agile in the shared tent setup. They also promote better drainage, stronger oxygenation, and more controlled wet/dry cycles, a perfect match for our hand-watering style and the super soil underneath. ⸻ 💧 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support Each pot was filled with a living substrate layered with Aptus Holland amendment, a clean, focused recipe: 🌱 Transplant Mix: • Super Soil Base (custom blend) • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – provides beneficial bacteria and biological balance • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – regulates pH and nutrient interactions Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml A delicate, supportive formula designed for root establishment and pre-veg stability. ⸻ 🌞 Light, Air, & Structure – The Gear in Action The girls are basking under the F.O.G. Black Series 600W, delivering clean, full-spectrum power. The result? Compact internodal growth, vibrant greens, and a glow that’s impossible to ignore. Airflow is key, and our current setup includes: • 2x 6-inch Carbon-Filtered Exhausts: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6”, controlled via the TrolMaster Hydro-X • Spider Farmer 6”, managed by the GGS Controller • 1x 6-inch Fresh Air Intake, carbon-filtered Yes, it’s early for scent, but carbon filters also trap airborne contaminants, pollen, and dust. It’s about creating a pure, controlled biosphere where only what’s meant to be there… stays. ⸻ 🔧 Ecosystem Evolution – TrolMaster Integration The TrolMaster ecosystem is slowly syncing into place: Lights, sensors, fans, cameras — all coordinated from the palm of our hand. Some plants will shift into automated watering systems, while others, including the SSH for now, are still getting the hand treatment. There’s magic in these moments. Feeling the medium. Listening to the plants. Touch matters. 🌿 ⸻ ✨ SSH #1 & #2 – The Chosen Phenotypes All three Super Silver Haze phenotypes have been stunning, but SSH #1 and #2 are standing out in structure, health, and spirit. These two are officially selected for the flowering stage. We’re documenting their every move, even took them to the studio for portraits. Yes, they deserved it. And yes… they’ll probably be back under the lens next week before they get too big to leave the tent. ⸻ What to Expect Post-Transplant Transplants can shock some plants, but not these ladies. Their roots were well-developed, and their new soil is welcoming. What to expect: • A short pause in above-ground growth as they settle in • Explosive root expansion in the new soil • Visible shoot growth by end of week • No training just yet — we’ll let them tell us when they’re ready We’re not rushing anything. This is about timing, rhythm, and letting nature sync with intention. ⸻ 🎥 What’s Next? Next week will reveal how well they’ve taken to their new homes. We’ll start gentle training. Possibly first topping. Definitely more photos. Stay tuned for: • Full transplant video on YouTube • Root shots, soil breakdown, and time-lapse updates • Training techniques & early-stage shaping ⸻ 📲 Join the Journey You know where to find us — and if you don’t: • GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctorofficial • Instagram: @DogDoctorOfficial • YouTube: Dog Doctor ⸻ Tools of the Craft Explore the gear powering this grow: • Genetics: Zamnesia • Nutrients: Aptus Holland • Automation & Sensing: TrolMaster • Lighting: Future of Grow • Pots, soil & tech: Spider Farmer • Storage/Curing: Grove Bags ⸻ With each week, we deepen the relationship between history and future, roots and reach, technology and touch.

Week 3 of Flower (Day 15-21) Should be the last days of stretch. Hopefully, because the height is limited and i do not want to rethink the top of my growtent. Beautiful flower development and i have had no problems in flower so far. I will turn the nutes up a bit, as they have not complained so far. Furthermore, i will lollipop or make a major defoliation when stretch is done, in order to deal with temp and humidity. (airflow) 👽👉24/10 Praying hands, very happy ladies. 👽👉25/10 I am keeping a close eye to the grow, as i have implemented low-energy-consumption solutions, whenever the price of electricity is higest. Meaning the climate is less steady, in some times on the day. 👽👉26/10 I was supposed to water today, however my schedule did not allow. They do not have any drooping leaves yet, they will be fine. 👽👉27/10 Waterday* and cleaning up the dead bottom leaves. Upped my nutes from 1.77 EC to 2.08 EC Bioheaven 2ML/L > 3 BioGrow 2 ML/L > 2.5 BioBloom 1.5ML/L > 2.5 TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L > 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L 👽👉28/10 Upped the nutes quite a bit yesterday, so exiting to see their reaction. Until now they look healthy and responded well. 👽👉29/10 Amazing development. 👽👉30/10 Waterday* Ph 6.2 and they shared 12.5 liter Bioheaven 3ML/L BioGrow 2.5 ML/L BioBloom 2.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

Part 1 of a video project I give myself for this run. And wow ,I'm absolutely loving this grow. The girls are preforming brilliantly with the training, although the Forbidden Runtz excelled with LST more so then the StrawNana, she is more bushy and compact, which made it quite tight in the 2x2 grow tent, but not overcrowded. I'm just a grower, who just loves growing. My passion was vegetable gardening, but living arrangements are different now and can no longer have a garden..... but it has opened up the possibility of indoor cannabis growing which wasn't a option for me before. My medium is a make up of reamended soil from my last run, to make my 25% supersoil base, 65% complete organic compost and topped off with 10% light seedling soil. I also fed a compost extraction once a week from WEEK 5 and they always responded brilliantly. I used the chop and drop technique when I defoliated which my worms seem to love and also used the compost feed for my compost extraction as a mulch layer every week after the feed, which covered the defoliated leaves. Thank you very much for dropping by, I hope you enjoy my videos. Please give a like if you did and I'll return the favor 🙏 Part 2 to follow shortly. Stay blessed Growmies 🌱Mr.PersonalGrow 🌱✌️

February 2, 2021 (Week 4, Day 29): The plants grew enough overnight to top at the third node. This is the second and last time I'll be topping these plants - this is the Nebula method of manifolding. I also took off the second node of each growth stem as well as the original fan leaves. I've pressed them in my plant press to save the memories of my experience with my first grow. I also redid the LST on every plant. The new growth sites I've pinned to the fan leaves. I really enjoy doing LST, it's quite therapeutic to figure out just how to support the plant without harming it. I think I am getting great lateral growth so far. The main growth stems are swelling a lot at the bases. Medium is still wet from yesterday - lightly tilled about a half inch of top soil. I've turned down the humidity another 5% this week. I'll keep it there most likely until I start the flowering cycle. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. Plants are happy, and I am happy. 😸 February 3, 2021 (Week 4, Day 30): Plants are looking good this morning. The nitrogen toxicity in Unknown 2 is beginning to subside. Now Unknown 1 seems to be having a nitrogen toxicity as well - slight leaf curling at the ends with a very lush and dark green color. I am assuming this soil is still very hot. As I've lowered the humidity I suspect more nutrients are being sucked in through the roots instead of transpiration through the leaves. I think the plants are going to take a little bit to get used to the hot soil, but I bet once they do they'll be as happy as ever. Medium is still slightly moist this morning, no watering. I tilled a half inch of top soil again to keep everything aerated. Most likely will water tomorrow or the next day. My LST seems to be holding nicely. I tied down Unknown 2's first growth tips as the fan leaves have finally straightened out after the topping yesterday. New growth tips are emerging nicely from the third node of each lateral stem. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else to report for today. February 4, 2021 (Week 4, Day 31) : Growth looks good overnight. I think this second topping is confusing the plants a bit. Lots of bulking of the stems, but not much lateral growth. I have a feeling they'll take off over the next few days. They're still growing really well. I posted a grow question last night having to do with little white bead-like structures growing on the surfaces of the leaves on every plant. I was concerned it may be a mold or fungus starting to grow. I did a bunch of research and it seems to be early trichome development called "sessile glands". I still have the question open and I am trying to get confirmation. Really hoping if they're trichomes that's a good sign that these plants are going to be frosty. I uploaded some pictures to show the development. Over night they started to grow everywhere on the leaves - hopefully they really are just trichomes and I am being over-vigilant. Better safe than sorry. I watered the plants today without nutrients; 3 liters per plant pH'd to 5.8. Runoff sitting at ~6.5 pH now which is much better. I'll continue to run 5.8 pH solution until I see the pH of the soil come down to at least 6.2-6.3. Tomorrow I'll most likely have to defoliate a bit and tie down the second sets of growth stems, as they're beginning to stretch and grow vertically. Averaging 60% rH and 76℉. Happy growing all! 😸 February 5, 2021 (Week 4, Day 32): The plants are exploding with growth now. I defoliated the fan leaves from the first node on every plant and tied down the growth stem for lateral growth. These plants are meaty as hell. The stems are thickening really quickly and I am getting tons of foliage and stem growth. The third nodes are starting to come around. I think I figured out the "mold" issue I thought was starting. They're definitely trichomes, not mold. I touched the leaves that were sparkling and my fingertips got sticky, oily, and reeked of weed - so that's great news. The smell in my grow room is getting stronger every day. While defoliating this morning I found my first pre-flowers on Gelato 1! It looks like all the plants are female, but Gelato 1 threw some pretty pistils at me to get my attention. Seems like the plants are reaching maturity. Depending on growth over the next few weeks it may be time to switch to flower soon! I am aiming for about 16" in veg before switching. Seeing these pre-flowers made me so anxious for flowering. Unknown 1 and Unknown 2 are doing great as well - all the signs of the nitrogen toxicity have subsided. Unknown 2 has more trichomes on the leaves than any of the other plants, and its foliage is a beautiful deep green. They are either different phenotypes or different strains entirely as the two of them are growing and looking quite different. Unknown 1 is much lankier so I suspect a different strain. Unknown 2 is especially squat and I suspect it's 100% indica or close to it. Medium is still wet. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. No other news today. February 6, 2021 (Week 4, Day 33): Last 24 hours I have seen at least an inch of lateral growth per growth stem on each plant. These girls are absolutely loving life from the looks of it, they're growing incredibly fast. I redid a bunch of LST today. Had to move every tie up one node. Medium is still moist. Lightly tilled half inch of top soil. Gelato 1 is shooting out more pre-flowers. Thanks to my wife we have new friends that have joined us in the smart pots. 😸 Averaging 60% rH and 75℉. Happy weekend everyone! February 7, 2021 (Week 4, Day 34): These girls are chugging right along. Tons of great lateral growth every 24 hours at this point. Having to adjust LST pretty much every morning to accommodate for the crazy growth. Gelato 1 is a freak of nature - the fan leaves are gigantic. Defoliated again today; took the fan leaves from the third node of each plant. Will be defoliating the first node of the secondary growth stems tomorrow most likely. Medium is slightly moist. Tilled the soil again. Will be watering tomorrow morning most likely. There's still a little dropping at the ends of the leaves so I will hold off on nutrients until all nitrogen toxicity has subsided. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else for today. February 8, 2021 (Week 4, Day 35): Watered today with 3 liters of 5.8 pH filtered water per plant (no nutrients) - runoff around ~6.7-6.8 pH. Will most likely resume nutrients upon next feeding depending on how the plants look. Defoliated entire first node from center four growth stems and tied down third nodes. Readjusted outside LST. The plants are almost to the outside of the pot which is when I'll switch to vertical growth. Unknown 1 is very close to being let loose, it's also pre-flowering now. Gelato 1 is now covered in pre-flowers - it's definitely a happy plant. Unknown 2 is still the runt of the group but also appears to be almost 100% indica by how stout it is. It's showing sex but no pistils yet. All three plants seem to responding well to mainlining and the stress isn't making them skip a beat. Stems are getting huge. I downloaded an app on my phone to check how well my lights are doing and, if the readings are accurate, I am very impressed with these lights. I've read cannabis can handle around ~65 DLI, so I am right where I need to be. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. That ends week 4 of veg. Time is flying. Hoping to switch to flower in two weeks for a total of six weeks in veg. Getting super stoked to switch over! Happy growing everyone! 👽

Week 9: Still coasting, but on the last day of this week the plants showed some major signs of being both thirsty and wanting some more nutrients. Not only were some leaves dried and shriveled, but others were limp and some new leaves started showing slight loss of green. I'm attributing this to our delay in watering the plants this week and it being time for another round of 444. This will be their last full Veg fertilizing, before we flip. In 3/4 weeks we will feed half strength 444, half strength 284, another round of bloom boost, some recharge for the soil and we will hope for the biggest, densest, dankest mugs possible! Idk how I forgot to mention but at this point our babies are mothers! We let some of the branches get a little longer than we should before snipping and voila.. an opportunity for a new plant and maintained genetics. A little behind on the scrog net, getting 2 plants out this tent, and feeding extra silica.. but I think our babies are gonna push through.

Ich hab ein paar Änderungen am setze gemacht, der hintere Lüfter bläst 2x für 15 min pro Stunde kalte frische Luft von draußen. Außerdem habe ich den Spider Farmer 6l Luftbefeuchter, zwei oszillierende Ventilatoren von Mars hydro und ein Standventilator hinzugefügt. Diese Woche hab ich nach düngeplan gedüngt ein mal.

Ok shes really moving along now. The trichomes are milky white, and maybe 15 % amber to 10% . Shes also still growing. Question, if I let her grow , will potency go down or something else? If my harvest window is open , dont I have basically two weeks to harvest? My question is if I go over or past harvest window will my tree get less potent ?

Day 1 FLOWER First day flower!!!! Already showing two pistols in some junctions after only first 12 hours of darkness. First grow did that, second grow did not. Not sure what’s different. New reservoir change; 40 grams Calcium Nitrate 33 grams Jack’s Hydro 30 grams Magnesium Sulphate 100mL growth enhancer 100mL Fulvic 50 mL Humic 100mL H2O2 EC 1300 PH was 6.2 and headed higher, added PH down. I made a little mistake with the res change, I forgot to chill my 100 liters of fresh RO to 63F before introducing it... it came in contact with roots at about 75F. Hope I didn’t shock the plant with that move and everything is fine. Ive added 8 16w LED T8’s wired in parallel for some inside canopy illumination. I don’t expect it to do much but just wanted something with zero heat output. Might figure something better out or even move them up to next scrog net due to expectation of massive stretching. Side note! I want to purchase a third HLG light to fit nicely between the 550V’s... a 2 panel 300 watt version of the same R2 type for a total of 1270 true watts. (Just waiting for a discount code). New light will be up this grow for sure, stay tuned for that! The right plant is yet again much taller than it should be. I was pretty busy with work lately so they have sat in bloom tent on veg hours for 2 weeks... Hopefully they don’t stretch tooooo much. Day 2 Added 21 Liters RO and pH down pH 6.5 to 5.8 PPM 1180 Day 3 Added pH up pH 5.2 to 5.8 Day 4 Added 23 liters of RO 30 gram calcium nitrate 22 gram Jacks 12 mag sulph 150 mL H2O2 ph 5.7 PPM 1380 Day 5 Added 40 liters of water 30 cal nit 20 jacks 10 mag sulph pH 6.2 PPM 1340 Day 6

Day 54, things are getting better, I can't give too many hours of light a day but it's gonna be all good in few days. One plants starts to show a lot of trichomes, I'll get a microscope to take a closer look !
