easy to grow with great yield! when i touched the sticky buds my fingers smelled so awesome and i must say the results were more then great!

Continuing to LST to spread the canopy and open up the plant.

🌱 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.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

…

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Fine tuning the heater temp, but all seems stable now. Sorry about the pics with the grow light, I will figure out how to filter it. Compared to other White Widow diaries, my girls seems to be performing normally.

09/28/24 - Purple Punch 👊 & Green Crack 💚 Both these girls will have the ☀️ today, and tomorrow will get a feeding with the 09/29/24 - Purple Punch 👊 - Green Crack 💚 Both these girls got the dunk, and runoffs are perfect. 1000-1100 PPM runoffs, with 6.4 Green Crack, and 6.5 Purple Punch

this week I was a lil happy because I pollinate my C4matic with a Male pink kush the feminizing spray tiresias mist didn't work the way I thought it would. thank God I had a Male coming up in my outdoor garden...I can already see seeds a little more than I expected, for some reason I only wanted to pollinate 1 bud but got seeds on the main and a few lower buds still happy for that will update images .

Changed res and added the bloom nutes beginning of the week. Big leaf strip and lollipop, although you wouldn’t think it 3 days after. Starting to get a little frost. Looking good.

fighting the war... cmon Mammoth lend me some Bio :) Taking a bit of a gamble and using the DWC I made myself - these have 20 litre reservoir 28/11/19 and put into flower nutrients, did a bit of bending One of the plants is getting some abuse wit’s some LST , I did break one by mistake , but hey that’s life 😜 I’m not sure my DWC s are a good idea 💡 Well better to try and fail than never try at all - Experiment 😜

Well the grow was very pleasant, she got amazing structure an look of the buds, very frosty and amazing smell...so thank you Mephisto genetics you did insane job. i have ordered few seed from Mephisto but they lost i guess(((coz i have not receive them. So thanks guys for support and helping me for this grow all GD Family,Luv you all!!! Peace

I'm super thrilled for this one. I've been wanting to get my hands on it for about a year now. It's a great night time, migraine removing, sleep inducing strain for me. I hope the phenotype I have works just as well. I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.

Day 43. Change the dose of nutes to medium flowering, I consider that the stretch period is no longer so remarkable. I also add 10 ml of Plagron's Green Sensation. I raise the ppm to 700, I think I will keep this level until the flush. pH at 5.9 She is full of trichomes, is very sticky and every day increases her smell. Not much to say about this week. I realized that using Green Sensation and increasing the water level of the reservoir maintains a more stable pH, I only dedicate myself to pouring 0.75 liters with water pH 7 each time it drops from 5.8 You can see that the buds start to get fatter little by little ... I hope that it forms some tight ones 😁

4/8 frosting up more and more and buds plumping up but not much. I feel its key to note that ine of the plants is more short stocky and the other has greater internodal spacing

Almost 2 weeks into flower and I’ve been busy tucking and trimming. Stuffs exploding in growth. Did a second defoliation at day 13 into flower and this time I decided to switch it up and try going opposite of what I normally do. This time I removed a very large amount of foliage and really opened up everything instead of just removing what I absolutely had to. Hopefully I didn’t stress them to much but they didn’t even seem to mind it anyway. Couple days later and didn’t even look like I did anything, except fill more screen out... lol going strong still anyway! Cheers 💨
