Start of week 5. Week 4 went well, bud site development is going great, she's gaining size and packing on the weight! She's the least sticky of the four plants I'm growing and her smell is the mildest too. Still, she's a happy looking girl.

Day 51 of flowerin' and the ladies almost fin' 💚. Trichomes lookin' damn frosty ❄️❄️❄️ and buds gettin' really big.

End of week 22: Overal it was a good run with the Shamans from @DutchPassion_Official . Didn't had mayor problems besides having to harvest them earlyer. I really wanted to flower them another 2 weeks but the weather/climate didn't allow me to. Still the buds came out decent as you can see for an early harvest. I will cure those buds for some time in my pots before they get smoked and will update how much weight I got out of the two plants. As you can see I made the bigger buds smaller. There is no use for me to keep big buds for showing off. Big buds just have big long stems in it, harder to dry and to fill your cure pots with.

I got rid of the tent this week and have them in a 6x10’ area. Purple Purple is developing solid tops covered in trichomes after the move she has been mostly lain over and scrogged. White criticals are 48” tall with big central colas and sizable radials. Enemies of the state are 55” tall with dense nugs developing on her plentiful bud sites. Wedding cake is 52” tall with a radial as tall and nearly as well developed as the center cola.

First week of flowering, all goes great.

Pretty much half of the flowering cycle has been completed! 28 days today. She's very vigorous, thickening up and frosting A LOT. I've also done some more gentle LST to spread a few branches further because new shoots are coming everywhere. Beautiful to look at. It's been quite moist at night, the sun sometines only starts at 10 am because of fog. When I decide to grow we have the rainiest year in the past 13 years and also the coldest May since 2006, fuck...at least the RH drops to 30% when the sun's at max, it's also been quite cold, that'll probably avoid mold problems. She started to smell very gently this week. Started as a ripe guava sort of smell that has now developed to VERY sweety and fruity profile. Strong skittles smell when I press the flowers, which is awesome! I'm a big sugar fan, I did not expect this smell but I just loved it! Thank you for visiting and see you next week! I'm so anxious I keep having dreams about her, mostly nightmares where someone chops her up or a bug kills everything...want to harvest soon 😂

🍒 Lemon Cherry Gelato — Week 4 Update Autoflower · 12/12 from seed Quick recap (for anyone joining here) This Lemon Cherry Gelato has been grown 12/12 from seed, alongside photoperiod plants, under the same exact conditions. At this stage, we’re still observing how modern autoflower genetics can blur traditional lines — and once again, this plant is behaving more like a classic photoperiod in structure and rhythm. No rush. No force. Just observation. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development She’s doing beautifully: • Currently at 6–7 nodes • Strong, even branching • Internodal spacing is balanced • Leaf color is a lush, healthy green • Structure is open and expressive No real training has been applied: • Only very light leaf bending here and there • No topping, no LST, no stress • The plant is shaping herself naturally — and doing a great job at it She looks calm, confident, and full of potential. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Log — Week 4 (Shared Conditions) Same conditions as logged for all plants this week: • Temperature: ~25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: ~60% • CO₂: ~666 ppm • PPFD: 600–700 (adjusted naturally based on plant size and distance to light) • Nutrition & watering: unchanged, consistent, identical across the room This consistency is key — it allows us to clearly see genetic expression, not environmental noise. ⸻ 🧠 Observations & Notes What’s especially interesting here is how stable and photoperiod-like this autoflower appears: • No sudden flowering push yet • Vegetative structure continues to build • Growth rhythm matches the non-autoflowers closely At this point, labels matter less than behavior — and her behavior is excellent. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A big thank-you to everyone following along, supporting, and appreciating the process. This diary is about learning together, observing without ego, and letting the plant speak. She’s shining — quietly, confidently, beautifully 💚 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.

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.

We’ll try to upload the remaining photos next week. If possible, we’ll add them alongside the weekly update and clearly mark them as extra images. Plenty of photos are already live though, so we hope you enjoy the update as it is. Thank you for your understanding and support.

She’s a thick one! Looking pretty good. I top dressed her with a 4 teaspoons of epson salt. She’s showing signs of magnesium deficiency. I’m still nervous she was pollinated by the Blackberry moonrocks that I had to cut down early. So I’m checking her several times daily.

Ok let’s go! She’s doing so amazing! She’s catching up at such a fast rate! I guess that’s brand new genetics for you plus that added Zamnripper umph combined force lol I trimmed away the lower leaves off her and she loved it appreciated it and boosted up! Dynomyco is obviously doing it’s thing too helping her get to canopy! And with help of the new light TSW2000 from mars hydro it will be a better outcome! I continue to give her a little spray a few times a day only lightly but it helps with the low humidity! I am in 2 minds with the flip! Like do I wait for this to go 4 weeks at least or just go for it so I’ll decide very soon! As that’s in a few days lol so she’ll be 3.5 weeks! So should be alright!

My little cherry bonsai becomes denser and the resin glands glisten across the entire flowers. Under the spotlight, the lady shows how she can glitter. I'm very happy that the first side branch, getting thicker and thicker. Day 65 Photoshooting

🌸 Flower Power Activated! Entering Week 6 / Flower Week 1 🚀 (Nutrient Update!) What's good, fam! Big news today: We are officially kicking off Week 6 overall and it seems it’s Week 1 of Flowering also! 🎉 The girls finally showed their cards and the first white pre-flowers have officially popped up, giving us the green light to enter the flower phase. I’m stoked to see how fast they stretch now that the flip has happened. They are filling out the net perfectly, and the canopy is looking dense and leveled thanks to the training we did weeks before. However, I clearly messed up my original living soil mix! 🤦‍♂️ I'm seeing signs of a nutrient issue—specifically, some apparent macronutrient excess on the new growth/leaves. To combat this, I added a Floragard Herbi's Living Soil Booster 2+8+4 today to help balance things out. Hopefully, that does the trick! Fingers crossed for a healthy stretch and massive buds! One Love & Happy Harvesting! 💚

Once I got the 200 watt light things took off

Blue Dream 1 started showing lots of rust spots and yellowing on leaves so I added more CalMag+ Iron to the reservoir believing the symptoms to be a deficiency in CalMag. Blue Dream 3 also still showing signs of CalMag deficiency.

Jo die sind echt krass gewachsen, der eine vorne sehr buschig, die oberen Fächerblätter des Hauptstamms mussten entfernt werden. Der hiintere wächst anders, und beide wurden einmal getoppt, noch 3 Tage veggie, sodass die eine 4 Wochen und 3 Tage Veggie hatte, währenddessen die hintere #2 3 Wochen und 5 Tage, dann gehts ab morgen in die Blüte. EN Yeah, they have really grown a lot, the one in front is very bushy, the upper fan leaves of the main stem had to be removed. The one in the back grows differently, and both were topped once, still 3 days of veggie, so the one had 4 weeks and 3 days of veggie while the back one #2 had 3 weeks and 5 days, then starting tomorrow it goes into bloom.

Week 6 begins for divine storm and mandarin dreams. Both ladies are looking amazing under this Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light. The girls are sticky, frosty AF and bulking up! The divine storm both now need support to stay standing upright and the mandarin dreams have an intense mandarin and fuel smell. Thank you Mars-Hydro, Kaoritracy, for sponsoring the light, it's doing an amazing job! Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

12/28 - growing nicely, plenty moisture so feeding will be a while. 12/30 - updated my feeding chart after some conversation with NPK rep. I will be removing the shoots from the "node 2" branches, then topping "node 2" and "node 3" branches later this week. Update: removed 2 shoots from node 2 branches, 2 left as they are smallish. 12/31 - she is doing really well! I may start training the branches sideways tonight! Happy New Years from BlumenBot!!! Shared a time-lapse video too! Update: trained her a bit 1/1/21 - made it to 2021! I removed the restraints for not to let her grow a bit more without additional stress. Hoping to feed Sunday 1/2 - restraints are back in place, mixed some feeding for tomorrow 1/3 - fed her then tried to train her and broke one of the 2 main branches right at the main stem....trying to graft it back together with some tape...not the first time I've broken a branch but the first time its completely broken off....we shall see how this goes....fuck! RAW feeding: 2L Distilled Water 2G Grow 0.18G Phosphorus 2G Microbes Grow 0.13G Enzymes 0.63G Amino Acids 6.0pH 676ppm 71.8*F Update: abandoning the graft attempt and just putting the broken branch in rockwool and right in the soil more or less in its original spot...experimentation at this point... 20 mins later the cut branch is already perking up!

the strain is really strong , low temperatures resist , 3 weeks around 12/16º graus and steell growing wel nice new colos between week 4/6 in flowering. really good strain to manipulate! 5 stars * * * * *
