2nd week of Flush, then 4 days of darkness. All these shots and video is from the day before harvest and the resulting drying days. 🙌🏽💚🇬🇧

Hey guys, it's been a great journey but I've finally hung my Stardawg out to dry! Yesterday was their last day totalling 8 weeks on flower. Realistically they could have benefited from a further week because the lower buds are somewhat underdeveloped but then I would risk losing the preferred sweet high smoke of the top buds. With this being my first attempt it's been a great learner not only for how to care for the plants but also the environment. As soon as these went into flower and started stretching I knew that putting 6 in a 2.4 x 1.2m tent was a bad idea. They just got so big which is the cause of the lower sites not being as good as the top colas. Despite that I'm really happy with the outcome and I'm hoping ive got 30oz+ of real good quality nugs. All of the top colas have turned a gorgeous violet colour too which you can see on the pictures and I absolutely love. For my next grow I've gone with 6 fastbuds strains which hopefully will go under a scrog. Check back next week for the harvest and weigh in!

After a week of curing the flavour and aroma are already good, I imagine in a few weeks it will be the best.

Sad news. Due to no fault but my own the sherberts were subjected to some very badly managed environmental factors. I have been busy building our new grow space and was not checking the plants at the back of the space. The 2 sherberts were there at the back and the RH went on a roller coaster over 4 days with temps swinging massively also due to an unmanaged dehumidifier.. the end result was both sherberts stressed out and grew some pollen sacs and I did not see so the burst and pollinated my entire flower room. Gutted. But I will push through the last few weeks of flower with all the current grows and see what we get. I had to chop alot of lower bud. Sacs had burst so I just did a very have clear. Have I mentioned I'm gutted. And this is not a reflection of weedseedsexpress genetics. I have looked at the data logs for last 9 days and it's so up and down with rh and temp it's no wonder they stressed. Next round less plants and I have to stop with the clones.. no room. Thanks for looking. Stay safe😷 Happy grows.🌱🌱

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) The comeback story. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — The “Unhappy Girl” That Didn’t Quit This Sour Diesel started as the most challenged plant in the room. Slow growth, stress signals early on, and clearly behind her sisters. But plants don’t quit — they adapt. She stayed smaller (~60 cm), but instead of stretching for size, she focused on recovery and survival. And now, in Week 5 of flower, we’re seeing something special: 👉 A full metabolic comeback 👉 Active water uptake (~1.2L/day) 👉 Healthy flower development despite early setbacks This is why we document everything — not just perfection, but resilience. 🔬 Macro World — What We’re Really Seeing This week, we zoom in — literally. Macro photography shows us what the eye misses: ✨ Trichomes (The Frost Begins) • Tiny resin glands forming on sugar leaves and calyxes • At this stage: mostly clear → early cloudy • Function: • UV protection • Pest defense • Secondary metabolite production (terpenes, cannabinoids) 👉 This is the plant saying: “I’m protecting my flowers now.” ⸻ 🌸 Calyxes (The Core of the Flower) • The actual reproductive structure • Each calyx = potential seed site (if pollinated) • Now stacking and swelling slowly 👉 This is where your final yield is built. ⸻ 🌿 Pistils / White Hairs • These are stigmas, part of the female reproductive system • Their job: • Catch pollen • Signal reproductive maturity At Week 5: • Still mostly white → plant is actively building, not finishing • Upright and fresh → healthy hormonal signaling 👉 White pistils = growth mode 👉 Dark/orange pistils = maturity progression ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding (Dialed In) You kept it consistent — and that’s why she bounced back: • 🌡️ Temp: 28°C • 💧 RH: 60–65% • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • 🌬️ CO₂: ~1000 ppm • 🚰 Water intake: ~1.2L/day 👉 That water uptake is key — it tells us: roots are active → metabolism is running → recovery is real ⸻ 📸 Plant Structure & Expression • Smaller frame, but balanced structure • Bud sites forming across the plant • No wasted energy — everything is focused 👉 She didn’t win the height race… 👉 But she’s still in the quality game ⸻ 🧠 What This Plant Teaches Not every plant is a monster. Some are: • Stressed early • Slower to adapt • Smaller in size But with stability and patience: 👉 They recover 👉 They produce 👉 They surprise you This is grower discipline — not chasing perfection, but supporting the process. ⸻ 🎒 Official Introduction — Mr. Baggy He’s been around… now it’s official. Mr. Baggy is part of the team. From garden runs to studio sessions — always present. A reminder that even in serious work… 👉 we keep it human 👉 we keep it fun 👉 we keep it ours ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week (Week 6 Flower) • Calyx swelling will accelerate • Trichome production will increase visibly • Pistils may begin slight color change in some areas • Aroma profile will start developing deeper layers ⚠️ Key focus: • Watch EC → avoid pushing too hard now • Maintain airflow (density is coming) • Stay consistent — no big changes ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude From grower to growers: Big love to: • The GrowDiaries community • Everyone following — OGs & new • Supporters, challengers, silent watchers And to the people behind the tools: • Plagron • Zamnesia • The lights above us ⸻ 🌱 Closing She started as the weakest in the room. Now she’s a reminder: 👉 Growth isn’t always fast 👉 Progress isn’t always big 👉 But resilience… always shows 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficialNEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Olá amigos, obrigado por acompanhar meu diário! Siga meu perfil, deixe seu like, comentário ou dúvida, ficarei feliz em ajudar se eu puder. Mais uma semana demonstrando uma deficiência que me parece ser Magnésio, porém é sempre complexo em se tratando de coco pois o equilíbrio entre K, Ca, Mg e Fe é ainda mais complexo nesse tipo de mídia. Fato é que esses clones foram retirados com urgência sem que eu conseguisse ter feito uma seleção da madre antes, e a planta mãe apresentou essa deficiência o ciclo todo e não houve o que eu conseguisse fazer para corrigir, etnão devo estar fadado à isso novamente. Vivendo e aprendendo! Fiz um ajuste na nutrição para poder testar. O objetivo e conseguir entregar os ppm de cada elemento muito próximo do feedchart da Advanced Nutrients, porém usando fertilizante mineral muito mais barato e acessível no meu país, e algumas sobras q tenho da linha GH Sigam também meu Instagram @casadasarvoresgrow Cultivo Medicinal brasileiro. Uso pessoal, não vendo nada!

Not much has happened since last update 2 weeks ago (expect growth obviously). She is growing well and with ease. Only problem was that one branch snapped a little bit. Had to support it to another branch with binding thread. No visible damage other than the slightly snapped branch. Happy growing everyone

So let’s start by saying I was Mis sold original bloom with the hydro coco version and me being me expecting what I asked for and as I bought soil 2 bags with it you’d expect to have indefinitely what I asked for but sadly not, I can say it hasn’t caused a problem on my autos and I now have the correct nutrient but the first feed was with it! Results would apparently be not as good as the soil version but I imagine being the first feeds it’s not as important as if it was through 2-4th week of bloom, but again this is the start! Here we grow

🗓️ Veg – Week 3 Complete This week marked a small but important milestone in the grow: ✔️ Plants were topped ✔️ Lower growth removed (light lollipopping) ✔️ Transplanted into the final 15L fabric pots – root development was much further along than expected. A very pleasant surprise! 📌 First time using: Great White Mycorrhiza – transplanting went incredibly smooth, and the plants showed no signs of stress. Definitely planning to use this again.

Hola a todos!!!.. en esta semana solo regue con flora booster de namaste nutrientes, la planta empieza a soltar su aroma cada vez más. Yo pienso que le debe faltar para el corte unas 4 semanas aproximadamente. El riego con flora booster lo hice en 5 litros (3ml x litro). He notado que aun tiene trips asique la próxima semana volveré a realizar un riego foliar con aceite de neem.

🗓️ Week 16: 3/16 - 3/22 📆 Week 6 of 12/12 👃☺️ Frosty Terpy Goodness!!!

5.07 Clones rooted 0,3 l pots and waiting under weak light around 200 ppfd

This week I decided to top the plant. It's the first time I've topped a plant and applied LST. It hurt to just cut the plant down but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. It tolerated it well. I have tried to make cuttings from the topped part. We'll see if they make it. The amount of watering remains unchanged for now as the soil stores enough water. I will water every 3 days from now on. This week I used the nettle manure in a mix with rainwater in a ratio of 1:20. Unfortunately, the weather has got a bit worse this week. The daytime temperature fluctuated between 18 and 21 degrees.

Die Umstellung auf 12/12 ist passiert, jetzt beginnt der Stretch und dann die Blüte. Die nächsten zwei Wochen wird nichts geschnitten, nur die höchsten Tops werden auf eine höhe gebracht. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem aktuellen Stand! :)

Into week 7 and all is good. All are in flower and swelling out very nicely. Ethos OG Kush is frosty and smells like a citrus grove. Barney's Purple is an absolute beast. Her stretch was impressive for an autoflower and she is almost 48in high. Her flowers are swelling nice and she has become much more fragrant in the last week. Fastbuds Zkittlez is frosty and swelling nice. She is also very fragrant, smelling like sweet candy. Seedsman Pink Kush CBD is doing well, beautiful dark purple flowers and leaves. Lights are still 18/6. No nutes. Monitoring trichomes daily looking for changes in color and clarity in preparation for harvest.

Began LST on the taller plants. Things are running smooth and the plants are happy! Temps were running slightly hotter than normal. But nothing these resilient plants can’t handle. 2x Stunted seedlings are showing new growth and look like they are recovering just fine - excited to see how they will turn out.

Super frosty & rock hard buds💥 Delicious terps🤤 Perfect buds leaf ratio
