Did 2nd flush yesterday. 2 weeks straight ph water 6.7 so far. 2 more days til lights off for 3 nights. Nearly all cloudy , no amber at all. Smells like skittles/coffee.

02/11 strong LST still going on. Today news ferrisilosation, last 2-3 days of veg and the push all into flowering. Still pushing this plant trying to get all the brush are possibles. 980 ppm Ph 6.2 Let’s see!!

🌱 Runtz - Week 2 Update 🌱 The second week of growth is well underway, and so far, the Runtz seedlings are showing great potential, despite a small hiccup earlier in the week. 🌿 This week started with a bit of a scare when I noticed something unusual with my Root Juice fertilizer—it had gone bad, with white spots floating inside, resembling mold. I had already applied it a few times during the first week, which led to some concerns about the soil's health. I took quick action by removing the top layer of the soil and replacing it with fresh soil mixed with mycorrhiza. To combat any lingering issues, I watered the plants with a solution of Clean Soil and Cannazym to cleanse the medium and support root health. Thankfully, the Runtz plants didn’t seem to be affected negatively—they’ve maintained steady growth and appear happy and healthy! It’s a relief to see their resilience. Looking forward to wrapping up Week 2 with bigger, stronger plants and setting the stage for explosive growth in the coming weeks! Grow Conditions (Week 2): 🌞 Light schedule: 18/6 🌱 PPFD: 450 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.0 kPa 🌟 Thanks for following along. Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪

Sie bilden schon schöne Blütenansätze und wachsen sehr gut.Die Blattläuse lassen nicht nach,jedoch erwische ich sie bevor sie sicht richtig vermehren.Sie sind teilweise schwer mit den Fingern zu erreichen.

Finished trimming the GSC tonight after a 6 day dry. Buds are very sticky and the jars smell like chocolate chip cookies. Lots of 3.5G+ buds (dry). Dry weight is about 88g of buds and 17g of shake/popcorn. Granddaddy Purple #1 is still drying, GDP #2 came out to about 70 of buds and 20g of popcorn/shake. Planning to make concentrates with the shake and popcorn. Even after no cure, I have sampled both GDP and GSC. GDP is my favorite (but GDP has always been my all time favorite) but GSC smells, looks, and tastes better. Planning to let them cure 8 weeks in Amber Ball 32oz Mason Jars, hoping for good final product. Feel like I didn’t do too bad for a first grow! Learned a lot! Cherry Pie & Wedding Cake next!

Fast finishing and the smell of blueberry and cheesy candy. I didn’t take a wet weight. Waiting on the drying now. This was just a run with 3 from seed to find a winner. 2 of them are winners. One of blueberry candy and the other smells literally like a mf cat pissed on it. I’m guessing from these 3 shmedium plants will put out about 1.5lbs. We will see in a couple more weeks. It looks gorgeous though. This was just a test run with a few from seed to pick out the winners. I’ll be doing a full run in my 5 x 10 tent my next grow and I will be actually doing a full diary. More to come on another diary.

Как я и предполагал, разница между харвестами "медицины" и лемонада составила почти месяц, но цикл все-равно получился интересным, буду и дальше тестировать генетику FastBuds. Спасибо всем, кто интересовался этим дневником, дальше будет еще интереснее, оставайтесь на связи!💚💛❤️

Week 4 of flowering is now complete, and Guava Runtz is looking extremely promising. The plant has developed a large number of bud sites across nearly every branch, and stacking has clearly started along the stems. What were previously individual flower clusters are beginning to connect, giving a good indication of the long spear-shaped colas that may form over the coming weeks. The structure remains very open and well-spaced, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy. This should help many of the secondary and tertiary bud sites continue developing instead of becoming larfy lower growth. Frost production is already becoming noticeable on the sugar leaves, and all pistils remain bright white, showing that the plant is still in the active building phase with plenty of development ahead. This week I performed another light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. The plant responded well and continues to look healthy and vigorous. I expect to do one final cleanup next week before letting her focus entirely on flower production for the remainder of the cycle. At this stage, patience is key. The foundation has been built, stacking has begun, and now the goal is simply to give the plant time, maintain a stable environment, and let the buds fill out naturally. If development continues at the current pace, Guava Runtz has the potential to become one of the most productive and visually impressive plants of this grow. 🍈🔥🌱

Very beautiful and with a very pleasant, sweet smell, difficult to say about. Getting fatter and growing the buds more and more. Starting to increase the resin, getting whiter.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 5 — 12/12 From Seed Stage: Pre-Flower / First Flower (Transitional Week) This week marks the true transition point. The plants are simultaneously vegetating, stretching, and initiating flower signals. Growth is active in all directions, and structure is beginning to lock in. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Growth • Height: ~25 cm (± a little, depending on individual) • Overall shape: flat, round, bushy canopy • Internodal spacing: tight and controlled • Branching: strong, symmetrical, and responsive The plants are opening beautifully. Branches are asserting themselves naturally, with no forcing — just guidance. Uniformity across the girls is striking. Similar structure, similar pace, similar “language.” That consistency speaks volumes about both genetics and environment. ⸻ ✋ Training Focus (More Intensive, Still Gentle) This week we increased training in intention, not aggression: • Leaf tucking and bending only • No topping, no cutting • Leaves are guided under growth tips to promote lateral branching Response has been excellent. Each adjustment is followed by visible compensation and expansion. The plants want to branch — we’re simply making space for it. ⸻ 🌱 Root Activity Roots are now visibly emerging at the soil surface — a clear sign of: • Healthy root pressure • Active microbial and enzymatic processes • A plant fully connected to its medium This is exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ ✨ Plant Health & “Mood” • Leaves: healthy green, good turgor • Stems: thickening, flexible, well-supported • Resin: early stickiness already present • Overall response: calm, strong, cooperative Everything indicates balance rather than stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update — Under-Canopy Introduction By the end of this week, under-canopy lighting is being connected. Why now? • Plants are passing key developmental signals • We want them to recognize photons from below early • This helps guide structure, awareness, and later flower density We are not forcing PPFD. We are letting the plants grow into the light, learning where energy exists above and below. ⸻ Nutrient Adjustment — Cal-Mag Introduced This week we introduce Cal-Mag into the recipe. Reason: Our water source is a blend of: • Humidifier water • Rainwater Both are naturally low in calcium and magnesium. As demand increases during stretch and early flower signaling, supplementation becomes necessary to: • Support cell wall development • Prevent future deficiencies • Maintain structural strength during expansion This is a preventive, not reactive adjustment. ⸻ 🌸 Autoflowers × 12/12 From Seed For anyone still questioning this approach: These plants are the answer. Branching. Structure. Vigor. Uniformity. They are doing everything they should be doing — and doing it beautifully. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6) • Continued stretch with stronger apical definition • Clearer pre-flower expression • Increased lateral dominance • Canopy filling outward rather than upward • Light demand gradually increasing Training will remain observational and responsive, not aggressive. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and sharing this space. All major observations this week are fully photo- and video-documented — from canopy to stem to soil — so you can see what’s being described. We move forward calmly, attentively, and with respect for the plant. Let them shine 🌱✨ Training Philosophy: Why Less Touch Often Equals More Structure At this stage, training is not about control — it’s about communication. Every time we touch a plant, it responds hormonally. Too much intervention can interrupt its own decision-making process, especially during transitional weeks like pre-flower. By tucking and bending instead of cutting, we allow the plant to: • Maintain uninterrupted growth momentum • Redistribute auxins naturally rather than abruptly • Strengthen stems through adaptive response • Decide where and how to branch based on light signals Less touch doesn’t mean less guidance. It means clearer signals and cleaner structure. When the environment is stable and the plant is healthy, minimal intervention often results in: • More uniform branching • Stronger symmetry • Reduced stress expression • Better long-term flower support In short: We don’t force shape — we make space, and the plant does the rest. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it 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.

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.

I am extremely impressed: Zamnesia and Plagron !!!! Auto Runtz showed no negative emotions throughout the growth :) Plagron nutrients gave her what she wanted ;) In general, this whole trip was something unreal, (with such a result I have a little hope of winning a prize from the ongoing competition :D :D ) Her aroma is full of tropical fruits!!!! (I can't wait to taste her :D:D) So from my travel suitcase, I got 225 gr of wet harvest weight, I am really happy about that :) (probably 50-60gr of dry flowers), by the way, I will also publish the dry flower weight, as soon as she is ready for it :) I did a lot of photoshoots, but unfortunately my lighting was not good, so I didn't get to take better photos ... Thank you to the sponsors @Zamnesia @Plagron for the opportunity, you are amazing!!! good luck to everyone!!!! And now I can think about a new Suitcase Lady :).

Day 71 - Ripening has begun a. pumped out the DWC, and changed for Ripen formula b. we will ripen for 2 weeks, then we will flush! c. her buds are really making large cones, i think they are reaching hard for the light d. stigmas are about 40% orange, 75% light intensity, still 16 hours on, will move to 14 next week Day 72 - gaining weight a. her buds are starting to flower all over them. b. the stigmas are turning colors, she is ripening nicely c. the smell is good, but am running lower intensity lights as not to burn the terpenes Day 73 - still drinking 6L a day! a. she is really ripening up, I will continue to push the ripen, buffering with fresh water to maintain 1000ppm in the pool b. Her trichomes are about 80% milky, 5% amber and the rest clear still, will wait until I see very few clears left, and not too many ambers, this is where experience comes in. Get a good jewelers loup or a microscope. I will start scoping my buds over the next 2 weeks. stay tuned for the updates. Day 74 - getting big a. weight is piling on this plant b. her buds are going all the way down the branch c. will pump out DWC for fresh ripen (: Day 75 - fresh Ripen - 4L gone a. she is still consuming 4-5L a day, not all the way matured b. looking like about 50% stigmas have turned brown Day 76 - more resin a. resin keeps being produced, some of the buds are dripping with resin b. 4L gone over night from the DWC, this plant loves the TA FinalPart/GHE Ripen Day 77 - Ripen change a. pumped out the DWC, replaced with 900ppm Ripen 5ml/L b. the resin is still in high production, will let Ripen run 1 more week, then flush!

The seedling is doing really well. We are progressing at a normal pace. There isn't much else to report this week. These weeks are always slow and pretty boring. I'm just keeping the medium sufficiently watered. Thank you for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞🧡

Another week successfully completed... All the plants are developing very well, the flowers are plumping up nicely, and all the plants smell great... Everything is as expected, and now we're closer to the end than before... Happy growing to all! 🌱🌿💪

Boy oh boy am I excited to see how this one finishes. Still 3 or so weeks out from harvest, but she will certainly be a good one. I cannot wait to see how she smells after a nice long cure.

Hey, the three little ladies are doing great! Soon they’ll be transplanted into my pre-made living soil mix that I prepared 1-2 weeks ago. Let’s see how they like it!

11/9: I fed them today. Started tapering off the One. Stopped giving Beastie Bloomz and started them on Cha Ching, plus the normal doses of silica, signal, and sweet & sticky.

Solid 10 inches of growth this week. Ladies were top dressed with more soil on Thursday night. Also game them a cal-mag boost with some Earth Pods back on Monday. The larger ladies are staying out in the garden, but the more finicky Critical Mass and Charlotte's Angel's are in the small greenhouse.
