4x4 Gorilla, HLG 550 V2 60% @ 32" 2 Jack Herer from seed, germinated 1-12-2018. Promix-HP Day 34. Flipping light cycle to 12/12. Had a little nutrient burn on both ladies and did a full flush with water @ PH 5.6. and two days later are looking much better. The GDP is still residing in the tent, just moved out of the way for photos. Next (light) feeding is scheduled for tomorrow evening.

La planta viene creciendo bien y ha superado con éxito el transplante, creció 11 cms de una semana a otra, las hojas están lindas, se regó con micorrizas 1ml x litro y 2ml x litro de oro negro de namaste, para complementar un poco mas en esta etapa.veremos que sucede mas adelante.

One girl has stretched, the other very much a squatting bush. Both appear healthy, with good stems and leaf growth. Just going to let them do their thing and admire them on occasion!

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk 🌿 The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tent… though, to be fair, they’re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. ⸻ 📸 Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C Yes, the temperature is running hot — AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. ⸻ 💬 Heat in the Grow Room – Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: • Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed • Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots can’t keep up • Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling • Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): • Accelerated metabolism — plants grow and stretch faster • Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) • Can improve CO₂ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as they’re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24–28°C for optimal quality. ⸻ 💧 Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: • Stronger root growth searching for water • Better oxygenation of the root zone • Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: They’re drinking daily due to the heat, so we’re feeding daily as well. ⸻ Current Feeding (per L of water) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased — meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control • First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7–10 days • We’ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set • Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues ⸻ 💚 Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and we’re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Super burnt lol. Ooops I'll still finish her off and hope for the best. Should still be some decent smoke 👌 One of my favorite testers from this run for sure. Will be popping more of this one real quick.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Chopped on day 131 from seed in soil. Ended up with 6.63 oz of dry flower, some large and mostly smaller dense nugs. Smells great. I'll test it out after curing for awhile.

Week5 the temperatures dropped a bit and I did what I could...❄️❄️ Earlier this week I had to flush this little one because I thought she had nitrogen toxicity. Maybe not... But From the water that ran out I realized that the soil was full of nuts and after the flush I didn't give it any more water. as I use a 12 liter vase, you can imagine how much water was retained in the root system. for that reason and because the water is good quality and has an amount of micronutrients, I didn't have to worry about giving water this week. let's see next week, wish me luck 🤞☺️🌞

Last week we started with LST and this week we will continue but also do topping.One week closer to the goal 💚

This is a 2nd run of Purple Cookies In Week 8 of Flower.

- Semana 4 🌱 🌡️ Ambiente Hemos mantenido el clima bastante estable durante toda la semana: 🌞 Con luz: 24–26 °C 🌙 Sin luz: 23–24 °C 💧 Humedad: 55–65% estable Actualmente estamos en 25 °C y 60% HR bastante constantes. Aumentamos extracción e intracción al 50%, unos 250 m³ ambos. 💡 Iluminación Potencia al 60%. PPFD medido con Photone: ~500 PPFD centro ~400 PPFD laterales Distancia media foco-plantas: entre 35–45 cm (según altura de cada planta). Hemos ido rotando: Cada planta sobre sí misma cada 24 h. Cambio de posición cada 3 días (las más altas a los laterales, las más bajas al centro). La diferencia entre centro y esquina es de unos 100–150 PPFD aproximadamente. 💧 Riegos y nutrición Esta semana hicimos: 🔹 Riego fuerte de limpieza 2,5 L por maceta pH 6,2 EC 0,8 (solo agua base, sin fertilizante) Drenaje superior al 30% en alguna para eliminar exceso de sales y estrés de las raíces. Decidimos hacerlo así para estabilizar después de notar que una de las BC reaccionó mal tras un riego anterior con abono. Regamos cada 2–3 días las que más comen y cada 4 días las menos hambrientas y estresadas. En semanas anteriores utilizamos base de crecimiento junto con: Silic Pro CO₂ Pro Los últimos días optamos por no añadir comida en el último riego para resetear un poco el medio. ✂️ Podas y estructura Hemos hecho poda ligera y estratégica: 2–3 hojas por planta. Eliminación de hojas que bloqueaban nudos. Nada agresivo. Los nudos están muy juntos, entrenudos compactos y tallos gruesos. 📊 Estado por grupos Actualmente tenemos: 1 BC muy fuerte (~30 cm). 1 planta sobre 26 cm (podada). 4–5 plantas sobre 17 cm. 1 planta de 23 cm que estuvo tocada de raíces. 3 más jóvenes creciendo bien. 1 BC con un poco de estrés y acumulación de sales. El canopy está bastante homogéneo dentro de lo razonable por fenotipos distintos. ⚠️ La BC amarilla Esta es la planta que más atención ha requerido. Síntomas que presentó: Verde lima general. Amarilleo en hojas bajas. Algunas puntas quemadas. Decaimiento leve. Hojas inferiores que se volvieron crujientes. Crecimiento más lento que el resto. Lo curioso es que esta planta siempre fue más clara desde el inicio, incluso antes del trasplante. Después de un riego con fertilizante, empeoró ligeramente, por eso decidimos hacer el riego solo con agua EC 0,8 y buen drenaje. Actualmente: No está empeorando. Tiene más de 6 brotes activos. Las hojas nuevas salen verde claro y luego oscurecen. Solo amarillean las más bajas. Va más lenta, pero estructuralmente está viva y trabajando. 📈 Crecimiento Algo importante: En altura no han crecido casi en la última semana. Se han quedado prácticamente igual. Pero: Muchísimos nudos. Troncos gruesos. Ramificación fuerte. Estructura compacta. 🎯 Conclusión de la semana Semana de estabilización. Clima estable. Luz controlada. Riego ajustado. Poda ligera. Observación de la BC problemática. El cultivo está sano en general. Compacto, estructurado y con mucha ramificación. La BC lenta sigue bajo vigilancia. 🌿👀 Veremos el progreso la siguiente semana. Saludos compis y buenas vibras 🐭

Started flowing after about 25 days in Veg. She stayed very compact but all the sudden she’s growing rapidly bumped up the lighting to 600 ppfd and have side lights on full getting about 550 ppfd under the canopy which is better than 150 ppfd without the side lights. The leaves have a curl on the ends I think maybe it had too much Nitrogen in early veg leaves were extremely dark green. I'm still learning this is only my 3rd grow hopefully I keep learning from my mistakes. Accidentally broke one branch that had multiple bud sites I think it snapped while plant kept getting taller and the pressure made it break and me not knowing this broke it the rest of the way when resetting the metal stakes. Hopefully it doesn't affect it too much, I know I should've just left it alone.

Just like there mum, 39th day of flower and 😍❤️. They smell like a sweet shop, and the depth of green💥 I can’t believe the frosting on the buds already❄️ I’ve fell in love with the organic side of cultivating I must say, see you in a few weeks👊🏻

Day 44 (Jan 10 - Flower Day 10) More of a maintenance day. The focus was keeping the canopy flat and even while the plant continues to push. This is where the tent starts feeling smaller every day. Day 45 (Jan 11 - Flower Day 11) At 02:30 I measured EC 1.466 (1466 µS/cm). At noon, after a top-off (this time with fertilizer included), I landed at EC 1.480 and pH 6.19. Day 46 (Jan 12 - Flower Day 12) At 12:15 I measured EC 1.512. After topping off I ended up at pH 5.75 and EC 1.462. Later I decided to push the reservoir strength up, briefly saw a higher number, then did the right thing: I waited for proper mixing. After 15 minutes of circulation, the stable reading was EC 1.612 with pH 5.88. Canopy-wise she’s starting to look like a literal square under the trellis - which is both hilarious and satisfying. Day 47 (Jan 13 - Flower Day 13) At 00:30 I measured EC 1.618 and pH 6.30. I topped off ~1.5 L of pH’d water and rechecked after circulation: EC ~1.620 and pH ~6.06. After that I adjusted pH down to 5.69. Day 48 (Jan 14 - Flower Day 14) At 00:30 (before top-off): EC 1.622 and pH 6.16. Water level drop was about 2 L out of roughly 9 L, so definitely a big drink. I decided to top off with nutrients this time. After the top-off and ~15 minutes of circulation, the reservoir landed at pH 5.74 and EC 1.720. Canopy / space notes (Week summary) The canopy is getting extremely even and wide — genuinely “square” under the trellis. I’ve been leaf tucking and I also weaved two tops sideways under the net to keep the canopy flat. Height management is now a real factor: the plant is around 43 cm tall even while being woven into the trellis. The good news is I can now rig the light up to about 90 cm above the bucket, which gives much more breathing room than I originally thought. Week takeaway The plant is clearly in a strong stretch phase (big daily growth, big water consumption). The reservoir has been stable when I’m careful with mixing time, and the trellis work is paying off — the canopy is filling the tent efficiently and staying controllable.

Very satisfied with the race of the weed, i really hope the harvest give me a Lot of grams. A very beautiful smell. Survive 2 of them, resulting 2/3 First one is green The other is red by sweetseeds.

Привет садоводы мой цветок доцветает , еще пару дней и финиш выглядит отлично
