Week 11 (Mar 11 – Mar 17) March 11–16 → trichome close-ups, mostly clear/milky. March 20 → end of stretch, buds swelling, first pistils turning orange. ⸻ Week 12 (Mar 18 – Mar 24) Grow left on autopilot during vacation. Plants stable, humidity/temps under control. Buds continue swelling naturally. ⸻ Week 13 (Mar 25 – Mar 31) Returned March 31 → plants very big, buds thickening. Trichomes mostly milky, no amber yet.

Nothing special this week, everything just going as it should. A tiny little problem was: weather. She went thru some high temps for maybe 4h (up to 35C), took a bit more of water than normal and looked wasted that day, but on next day she was just fine! Now entering her final umpf, leaves starting to yellow everywhere, most pistils are brown, but no sign of amber trichs! Right now >90% are cloudy (zoom in), still giving her feed for more 3-4 days and then just plain water for more 10-14 days. Maybe I’ll get 10-20% amber in the end, which is just fine for me :)

WEEK #10 - FLIP IT Light: Flipped to 12/12 on friday 24.04., so exactly 10 weeks after germination, with plants ca. 25cm in diameter and 18-20cm in height. Huge step personally, looking forward to witnessing the upcoming transformation. But before: Last time fed with HESI Grow, watered generously with a little bit of drain. Defoiled very heavily mid of week again (thanks for the advice, @jen_zee - that's where this community really shines 😍) to prepare for stretch (results not for the easy mind, be warned 😉). Skywalker plant is super bushy and recovered within very few days. Slush Mint Cake also doing well, impression (because of my earlier mistake) is rather sparse, but still very potent. Think i like the Slush Mint Cake even more (although stems of leaves are VERY long), because the Skywalker one is just very dense. Outdoor temperatures are getting higher here during the day, which benefits the indoor temperatures also. Humidity is still rather high though, will need to have an eye for that. Lamp was adjusted to 35cm accoring to growth and upped to 50% intensity. Also installed a SCROG net already, unluckily MarsHydro has shipped a 80x80cm version for a 70x70cm tent. That's why it looks a bit ridicolous. Will do its deed though, i think (do you was well?). Used a few landscape staples to bend a few branches into position, where space was available.

Week 4 begins for LSD, the good trip continues! Lots of nice bud sites developing and she has a somewhat sweet aroma. Removed some larger leaves and some yellowing one's. Overall plant looks great. I also increased feeding to 5 liters. Thanks for looking 👽🔥🌳

Week 5 - Day 39 - 20/03/20 Coming along well, grown 12/13 inches since last week. Plants hit 28" to 31". I tied down the plants and spread open the centre of each pot, as you'll see from images, flowering well. No issues, no problems with nutes l, recovered well from a light flushing,. Doing a 4ltr feed per pot every 2 days, however I'm only feeding nutes once a week, followed by straight water feed. Sticking to pH.6.3 ;) It's beginning to hum, let's see what's happens next Day 42. Some plants showed signs of nitrogen deficiency. Push more nutes more frequently rather than a single nute feed a week. Watering plants 4lrs a pot to ensure there's some run off. Feeding once every 2 days.

7/5/25 plant is stretching. Not sure if its preflowering or just being outside in a bigger pot. Im just going to let her grow naturally and see how it turns out. I may end up with just one diary of each strain at the moment. But im also not sure whether im going to be doing indoor or outdoor based on personal circumstances.

Ich habe wirklich Probleme mit ihrer Größe.Ich probiere heute sie mit einem scrog Netz etwas kleiner zu bekommen.Ich habe sie nun doch runtergebunden und supergecropt,da beim Versuch das Netz zwischen 2 Hockern zu spannen einer auf eine pflanze gefallen ist und ein trieb beschädigt wurde.Ansonsten bekommen sie weil sie jetzt so breit sind an manchen stellen wenig licht ab.Sie sollten sich aber wieder etwas aufrichten.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto — Week 11 From Seed (Week 7 Flower) Quick Recap — How We Got Here From day one, this run followed a simple principle: let the plant express itself. 12/12 from seed, no forcing, no chasing—just creating a stable environment and letting the plant grow into the light rather than adapting the light to the plant. Temperatures steady at 26°C, humidity around 60%, CO₂ at ~1000 ppm, and consistent feeding without overcomplication. No aggressive training, no unnecessary intervention—just guidance, not control. And now… we’re here. ⸻ 🌿 What You’re Seeing Now (And What It Actually Means) At first glance, it looks like “not much is happening.” But this is one of the most active internal phases of the plant’s life. 🌸 Bud Development — From Size to Density The buds are no longer just stacking—they’re hardening. * Calyxes are swelling * Structure is tightening * Weight is increasing This is the transition from visual growth → mass accumulation ⸻ ✨ Trichome Production — The Real Work This is where the plant shifts focus into resin and terpene production. * Trichomes are multiplying and becoming more pronounced * Resin heads are filling * Aromatics are developing deeper complexity What people see as “frost” is actually the plant investing in its final defense and reproduction strategy. ⸻ 🌱 The Invisible Half — Roots & Balance You said it perfectly. Plants live in two worlds: * Phototropism → growth toward light (above ground) * Gravitropism (Geotropism) → growth with gravity (roots going down) What we see above is only possible because below the surface, the roots already did the work. This stage is the result, not the effort. ⸻ 👀 The Grower’s Role Right Now This is where experience shows. You’re not “doing nothing.” You’re doing one of the hardest things: → Not interfering when everything is working. What matters now: * Daily observation * Hand watering (keeping that connection with each plant) * Watching micro-changes * Maintaining environment stability Because right now, mistakes don’t come from action… they come from unnecessary action. ⸻ ⚠️ Risk Management — The Silent Battle Dense flowers + stable humidity = potential risk zone. So this phase becomes about prevention, not reaction: * Airflow through the canopy * Avoiding moisture pockets * Monitoring for early signs of: * Mold * Mildew * Bud rot So far—clean run. That’s not luck. That’s attention. ⸻ 🌿 Philosophy — “Doing Nothing Is Doing Everything” This is one of those weeks that teaches patience. Anyone can feed. Anyone can adjust lights. But not everyone can observe without interfering. This is where growing becomes less about technique… and more about trust. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next (Week 8 Flower) * Continued bud swelling * Increased density and weight * Trichomes becoming more cloudy * Aromas intensifying You’ll begin approaching the window where decisions matter: * When to push * When to hold * When to finish ⸻ 🤝 Shoutout & Gratitude From grower to growers: To everyone following the journey— the OGs, the new eyes, the silent watchers, the loud supporters, even the skeptics… To the community on GrowDiaries and beyond. To the genetics behind this expression. To the environment that allowed it. To the process itself. And to every single person putting time into their craft, whether anyone sees it or not. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thought People celebrate the flower. But the flower is just the evidence. The real work… was always underground. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

welcome everyone to my Strawberry Tent GrowOFF I will be showcaseing 6 diffrent starberry autoflowers from 6 diffrent breeders, we will see what ones win the superfichal awards of: Best In Tent, Best Smell, Best Buds, Best Yeild, Best Taste, Best Form and Best High. 6 plants and 7 awards, I have a feeling some of the strains may take 2 or 3 of the awards and a few of them may not make it to fruition. The tests will be blind and then matched to a key at the end to find out who is who to avoid as much bias as I can given that I some of my firends will be the sole judges for most of these catagories. + [Best In Tent] = Over all best plant in the tent. + [Best Smell] = The best smelling plant based of my sences fresh & cured will be raited + [Best Buds] = The best looking buds visually, colour, density and frost will be raited + [Best Yeild] = The heavyist yeilder of them all, total grams/OZ will be raited + [Best Taste] = The tastyist tasteing buds, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. + [Best Form] = The best growth pattern and form out of the plants, nothing to strechy or compact. + [Best High] = The best feeling buds from getting stoned, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. I would like to extend a big thank you for all the sponsors of this grow. From Lighting to Nutrients to the Seeds themselfs. #1 Medic Grow LED Lights, I will be useing 2x 240w MiniSun2's dimmed to aorund 60-80% at peak flower. https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow #2 Metrop Nutrients, They have sent me a starter pack that I will use to grow these ladies out. https://metrop.net/ https://metrop.store/products/startbox #3 all the brands who donated to the cause, in no pictular order: Exotic Seeds, Pure Instinto, Seedsman, Original Sensible Seeds, Fastbuds & *Barneys farm* **indacate the seed was gifted to me from another grower and the breeder did not choose to partiscapte in this growOFF but are part of it anyway. https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/strawberry-cola-auto https://pureinstinto.com/product/strawberry-shortcake-autoflower-cannabis-seeds/ https://www.seedsman.com/us-en/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-feminised-seeds-sman-strchcake-auto-fem https://originalsensible.com/original-sensible-seeds-strawberry-pie-auto~22096 https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/strawberry-pie-auto https://www.barneysfarm.com/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 I will be growing these in a coir/perlite medium with liquid hydrophonic nutrients. The pot size will be 2 Gal each for 12Gal total medium in a 2x4 tent under a potentinla maxium of 480W via the 2x Medic Grow Mini Sun 2's LED Lights. Germination methyod will be the same, soaking seeds in water then into the final pots medium. They will be getting a 18/6 light scheulde from start to finish and a PH of between 6.2-6.5 for the entire grow. I will be useing some root incolulents to help the plants form a strong and healty realnship with the medium. From what I can tell this should go smoothly without many issues. I have a few good friedns on here who only grow in hydro so if I run into any issues I am going to hit them up and learn some new things. Good Luck to all the brands competeing. I will host a question poll to see who thinks what one will susceed the most. and Maybe open it to eveyone to help rate the best looking buds catgory. One thing to note is I am mixing all my nutrients into a massive pail that is about 2Gal and I mix it till it hits a desired EC point, so the measurements of ml/l is a bit of a guesstimate. I know its in the ruff ball park area of what I added but it could be off by a bit. m0use

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Week 9 is here and we are looking at harvesting! After checking the trichomes of just the top colas, I decided this week I was going to harvest. I am updating this post after I have dried and harvested the plant so do not have much more details. I flushed the plant this week with Flora Kleen along with terpinator and microbes. I cut down the plants and hung them up in the tent to dry using a clothes hanger with clips I got off of Amazon. It took 10 days to dry the bud and my temps and humidity would fluctuate throughout the day and night. I stayed in the mid to low 70s for temperature and humidity was at 50% at first. Then I added a humidifier and had it dry in 60% humidity. Will update the rest in the harvest update.

- Third week Came back from my trip and she really shot up PH was down (around 5.5) so she absorbed a good amount of nutrients while I was away Changed reservoir with a dosage of Base A- Base B- Vege- Silica- using 1.0 ML per Liter Roots are nice but I'm starting to think she might have some sort of rot going on, going to introduce Peroxide in the water to help her out No sexing yet, I'm assuming she's a female (hopefully) Did some small LST in order for the bottom line to grow a little bit
