Good afternoon everyone! One more week is gone of the flowering. the plant looks beautiful, the buds become heavier every day. I still only use Hesi sponsored nutrients with every watering. I don't overdose on nutrients and follow the weekchart I got from Hesi. genetics is good old school from Neville's seed bank. It is also a normal seed, not femenized. The light schedule is 12/12 , feeding every day( I try to handle the cocos always wet) next week is the last flowering, after that I will clean the plant and will harvest it. Good luck, everyone

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok, so bigger news this week, I got rid of one of the plants in the tent as it was an auto vs fast flower :/ and I performed a bunch of LST and some Defoliation to all the plants. This plant did not need a lot of defoliation if any at all. I just trimmed some of the lower nodes off as they would not get all that much light once it started to stretch and tied back some of its branches so it was a bit more even. The growth pattern on this plant vs the others in the tent this aorund is completely different. its so floppy and bendy, I have a feeling I am going to need to break a lot of branches come flower time to keep it from sky rocketing to the top of the tent. This will be the last week they are in Veg and switching to flower cycle next week with a 12/12 photoperiod. I was going to try a 13/11 but I wanted to test out the automatic light functions on the Medic Grows Minisun-2, So this will be relieved next week. Been having issues with PH in the medium again and some nutrient uptake. I am thinking I will switch to another brand I have to use up, trip tonic from my last grow on the balcony. Its a bit more complex and not as easy as mix into water and feed but I think its going to help me solve a lot of the issues I am getting. Given this update is a few days late some of these pics are not from today. the clones in the photos above are from the beginning of the week when I potted them up. They have not done well at all and may not make it. can only hope for the next few weeks they pull through. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Start of week Height = 50cm She has reached a total height of 50cm so far and have grown almost 20 cm in a week, her flowers are starting to grow all over, she really enjoys being under the Qboard. 13/02-2024 - Day 43 - Watered 2.8L 15/02-2024 - Day 45 - She is really growing and has reached 55 cm height, her flowers are starting to gain size aswell. 17/02-2024 - Day 47 - Watered 2,1L, my baby has reached 57 cm and damned she has ALOT of buds im really excited about this cutie 😍 19/02-2024 - Day 49 - End of week I had considered trying out defoliation on her, as i think she has grown very bushy and might spend energy on branches that wont produce any good yeild. i reconsidered due to the advices i got from my question. i will continue without defoliation and keep gently bending fanleaves so they dont block light. She has been growing a lil less taller this week than the previous, but her buds are starting to look nice, and they are ALL OVER her 😍 the first trichs are appearing. Height = 61cm

Срезал ёлочку утром . Шишки норма , трихомы 50% янтарь, не поливал 3 дня перед харвестом , 68 дней от семечки до харвеста. Вес пока не могу сказать так как целым кустом сушится , через недельку скину фото и видио что вышло на весах . 🌲🤝 , ещё хочу добавить- я использовал торфяной горшочек и это ошибка , может он не сторфа а с бумаги но он не растворился и корням было тяжело его пробить , не рекомендую использовать такой метод , на второй недели чветения поломали центральную колу и скажу что с ней все супер и она стала больше .

2.06 I switched them on! They started to grow :). 7.05 after switching to flowering they started up. I saw a little deficiency of calmag. I added 1ml of CalMag Agent and 3 days after it disappeared. The tops become slightly lighter (which is a common deficiency and not dangerous), which means a lack of manganese. Today it's watering time, I'll add some trace elements from Canna, to fill up the manganese, Soil Attack for the flies and water them with 0.7L. I will also stabilize water pH for 6.0 8.05 To combat manganese deficiency, I add Trace Mix by Canna and i see a few flies so i added Soil Attack, and stablize pH 6.0.

🌱 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.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Вот мы и прошли рубеж в 100 дней от каски. К сожалению, задерживается доставка моего досвета, надеюсь успеть установить до конца грова. Переключился на нижний обдув. 27/04 PH6,0 PPM1200 28/04 PH6,1 PPM1080 01/05 PH5,9 PPM1490 Надо промывать 👉Планирую сделать интересный досвет низов по периметру, оставайтесь на связи. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Pig. Pig. Pig🐷 Day 35 for this beautiful girl. She is just starting to stretch and looks so big and bushy. I started feeding her pretty heavily because she looks like she’s just about to go into flower and she’s eating it all up. Her structure is just beautiful pretty even canopy and I am defoliated so she had some even light penetration. I’m always just so impressed by Sweet seeds. there plants just get so big and beautiful and they’re always so potent and solid I always try to have a staple of their seeds in my tent.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

ENGLISH VERSION BELOW Wie ich im letzten Update geschrieben habe, fällt dieses hier etwas größer aus und enthält auch mehr Fotos und Videos. Die Pflanzen haben sich gut entwickelt, waren aber mittlerweile zu groß für ihre kleinen Töpfe und zeigten Anzeichen von Wurzelstress. Ich habe sie daher in 9-Liter-AirPots umgetopft, die ich noch von einem alten Projekt übrig hatte. Als Substrat verwende ich eine 70/30-Mischung aus Canna Coco Professional und Peligran Perlite von Knauf. Ich liebe dieses Zeug – man kann es praktisch nicht überwässern. Die Wurzelballen habe ich mit etwas Mycotrex von Biotabs bestreut. (Mycorhizzae) Um ehrlich zu sein: Ich war einfach zu faul, neue Stofftöpfe zu kaufen, also dachte ich mir, warum nicht die alten AirPots wiederverwenden :-) Mal sehen, wie sie sich darin machen. Ich habe die Pflanzen auch in ihre „endgültige“ Umgebung gestellt – ein 120x120-Zelt (4×4 für meine imperialen Freunde ;-) – und ab jetzt werden sie über meinen geliebten Ebbe-/Flut Eigenbau versorgt. Ich habe es vor 10 Jahren gebaut, und es ist immer noch ein echter Segen. Einmal am Tag werden die Pflanzen mit Nährlösung aus einem 200-Liter-Tank (52 Gallonen) geflutet. Leider bedeutet das auch, dass ich euch nicht mehr sagen kann, wie viel Nährlösung jede Pflanze genau bekommt – sie nehmen sich einfach, was sie brauchen. Das neue Zelt wird mittels eines AC Infinity Controller 69 klimagesteuert, sodass ich die Bedingungen deutlich besser im Griff habe. Ich versuche, einen VPD von etwa 1,2 zu halten. Die Klimaanlage ist auf 22 °C (~71 °F) eingestellt und der Luftbefeuchter hält die Luftfeuchtigkeit bei etwa 62 %. Offtopic: Ich musste eine große Lemon Orange-Mutterpflanze räumen, um Platz für die vier Humboldt-Mädels zu schaffen. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich sie zurückschneiden müssen. Was demnächst ansteht: In den nächsten Tagen werde ich die Pflanzen toppen. Die abgeschnittenen Spitzen werde ich versuchen, als potenzielle Mütter zu bewurzeln – vielleicht ziehe ich ja ein DNA-Los :-). Meine Frage an euch diese Woche: Mit welchen Substraten und Bewässerungssystemen habt ihr schon herumexperimentiert – und was hat euch am meisten überzeugt? Schreibt es mir gerne in die Kommentare! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I wrote in last weeks update this one will be a bit bigger and contain more photos. The plants were coming along nicely but the were to big for their tiny pots and showed some root stress. I transplanted them into 9 Liter AirPots which I had laying around from an old project. The substrate is a 70/30 mix of Canna Coco Professional and Peligran Perlite from Knauf. I love this stuff. You basically can't overwater it. I sprinkled the root balls with some Mycotrex from Biotabs (Mycorhizzae) Tbh I wast just too lazy to buy new fabric pots so I thought why shouldn't I use these old AirPots :-) We'll see how they perform. I also placed the plants in their "final" habitat which is a 120x120 (4×4 for my imperial friends ;-) and from now on they get fed by my beloved DIY-Ebb and Flow system. I built this 10 years ago and it's still a charm to have. Once a day the plants will get "flooded" with nutrient solution from a 200 L (52 gallon) tank below. Unfortunately this also means I can't tell you how much nutrient solution they received anymore as they just take as much as they need. This tent is climate controlled by an AC Infinity controller 69 so I should be able steer them way better. I try to keep them at a VPD of around 1.2. I have my AC set to 22°C (~71°F) and my humidifier keeps the tent around 62%. Offtopic: I had to evict a big Lemon Orange Mom to make space for the 4 Humboldt girls. I will have to cut her back in the next days. Upcoming: I'm going to top them in the next few days I will try to keep the tops as potential mothers if I hit the DNA lottery :-). My question for you this week: With which substrates and watering systems have you messed around so far and what did you like the most? Please tell me in the comments
