Vegetative Week 4 – Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This fourth week of vegetative growth confirms a pattern that has unfortunately been present since the beginning of this run. The plant is technically growing, but visually she looks unhealthy, weak, and stressed. Overall structure, leaf quality, and general vigor are clearly not where they should be at this stage. Nutrient solution has been kept within a reasonable range, with pH maintained between 5.8 and 6.2 and EC around 1.1–1.2. Despite this, there is no clear positive response from the plant. At this point, it is difficult to identify a single root cause. It could be related to nutrition balance, substrate preparation, environmental parameters, lighting, or simply a combination of multiple small issues accumulating since the start. The humidity dome has now been fully removed. Given the plant’s current condition, maintaining excessive humidity no longer seems beneficial. The approach is now to simplify, stabilize, and observe. This run is clearly delayed, and expectations for a quick recovery are low. That said, the focus remains on learning from these early-stage difficulties and improving future starts, especially substrate preparation and initial environmental control. For now, the plant will continue to be fed consistently, without overreacting or introducing drastic changes. Observation and patience remain the priority. See you next week, and take care.

Hi Growmies, She has now completely stiffened and the buds start stretching along the colas. It’s still very hot here at times and temperatures climb towards 30 Celsius, hopefully that will fix itself with autumn around the corner, other than that I ordered a secret jardin temp controlled vent in order to get a bit more control of my tents temp. She already starts smelling very strong like oranges with some citrus subnotes. Will also add another fan next week to get some circulation under the screen. Until next week and thanks for stopping by.

Well, it looks as if one of the 3 plants is a male. I live in denial for one more day and then I toss it. Not sure which plant it is, as I painted over the strain names when I painted the cups grey. Smooth. So I will find out soon. Otherwise, good weather and some good growth. Roots are balled up at the bottom of the dutch bucket reservoir, Im sure, because I let the drip go dry for a day or two and the plants were droopin (coco)

The buds are very tight, but they didn't grow large colas so that means wasted time trimming cannabis, which I am not a huge fan of. I will not be growing this strain again, as I believe there are far better breeders and strains out there. I will continue to seek out the best breeders and strains until I am satisfied. I believe this Auto will yield in the 16-22 Ounce range dry, so I am not super disappointed, but I know I can do much better than this. After 6 days of drying, it took me around 7 hours to trim this auto, and she ended up yielding 16.72 Ounces. So she was definitely on the lower end of the spectrum from what I estimated on chop day, but still in the range. The buds are very tight, and smell like like cheese. I am only running one mature auto at a time now, so next up will be the Acid Dough from Ripper Seeds. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, stay safe and Blaze On!!

Performed some light lst and topped all plants, then feed some recharge. They bounced back pretty fast they didn’t show no signs of stress so that’s a good thing. I’m give them one more week in the 1 gallons and then transplant to 3 gallon Keep up this grow is epic

Week 14 marks a special chapter for Nectar Drip. What started as a straight 12/12 from seed run has turned into one of the clearest side-by-side lessons in plant behavior this room has given us so far. Same room, same feed, same light cycle, same genetics—but two very different approaches, and now two very different outcomes. From seed, this run was split in philosophy. One Nectar Drip was trained early and shaped by hand. The others were left almost entirely untouched—no topping, no real intervention, just leaf tucking and enough space to do their thing. That contrast became the real experiment. By now, the result is hard to ignore: in this format, under 12/12 from seed, the less we interfere, the more the plant seems willing to give back. The trained plant stayed smaller, stacked tighter, and never fully matched the natural size or output of the untouched sisters. Still beautiful, still resin-heavy, still absolutely worth growing—but clearly the most reduced expression of the group. And that made the decision easy. This week, the trained Nectar Drip became the chosen plant for fresh frozen. Not because it underperformed—but because it offered the perfect candidate for something different. Smaller structure, dense flower, extreme resin coverage, and a terp profile too loud to ignore made it the obvious pick to sacrifice to the wash. Rather than drying it traditionally, the whole plant was harvested and frozen immediately to preserve the volatile compounds exactly as they were on the stem. That means this one is no longer headed for jars—it is headed for ice, agitation, and eventually bubble hash. For anyone unfamiliar with the process: “fresh frozen” means harvesting the plant and freezing it immediately after chop instead of drying and curing first. This preserves more of the volatile terpenes and allows the resin to be processed later into solventless extracts—most commonly ice water hash. In simple terms: instead of smoking this plant as flower, we freeze it now so we can wash it later and separate the trichome heads into hash. Same resin, different destination. And if any plant in this run deserved that treatment, it was this one. Even as the smallest of the group, it was dripping in frost from top to bottom. Thick trichome coverage, greasy heads, sticky stalks, and that unmistakable oily feel when touched—the kind of resin that tells you immediately this cultivar has extraction potential. The aroma made the decision even easier: fruit up front, skunk underneath, something creamy in the middle, and a strange almond-like edge that keeps showing up every time the flower is handled. Loud, weird, greasy, and complex—exactly the kind of profile worth preserving in fresh frozen form. The remaining plants are still standing, and this is where the room shifts into its final phase. At this point, the living Nectar Drips are no longer being fed in the traditional sense. This week is water only, using collected rainwater and reclaimed dehumidifier water, with a small amount of enzymes to help break down remaining organics in the root zone. No more push. No more force. Just clean hydration, natural fade, and enough biological support to keep the substrate active while the plants finish at their own pace. It is the final reduction phase now—less input, more observation. And the plants are responding exactly the way they should. Fade is accelerating across the room now, and this is the kind of late-flower senescence we want to see. Fans are pulling color, chlorophyll is retreating, and the plants are beginning to cannibalize what remains in reserve. This is not deficiency panic—it is end-of-life behavior. The engine is shutting down naturally. Energy is no longer going into leaf production or structural growth. Everything is being redirected toward resin, ripening, and final flower maturation. Morphologically, that means the stretch is long over and the architecture is locked. What we are seeing now is finish work. Calyxes will continue to swell. Bracts should tighten. Resin heads will continue shifting from clear to cloudy. Aromatics will intensify. Leaf mass will continue fading back. Water uptake will begin slowing. The flowers are no longer building size the way they did two weeks ago—they are building finish. And that finish is already obvious. Buds across all remaining plants are dense, compact, and far heavier than their frame suggests. The untouched plants especially proved the point this run has been hinting at from the start: in this style of cultivation, less handling allowed for stronger vertical development, better natural structure, and ultimately more productive flowering sites. No topping, no recovery, no unnecessary stress—just uninterrupted forward motion. The difference is visible now in both size and final output. What happens next is simple: patience. There is no hard harvest date yet, and there does not need to be. From here forward, timing belongs to the trichomes. Right now, heads are mostly cloudy with very little amber present, which means we are entering the harvest window—but not fully inside it yet. Clear means early. Cloudy means peak THC. Amber means degradation begins shifting the effect. Until those heads begin showing the level of amber we want, these plants stay standing. So now we wait, watch, and let them decide. The room is loud. The flowers are greasy. Frost is everywhere. The fade is beautiful. The smell is ridiculous. Fruit, skunk, cream, funk, and something strangely nutty underneath. Sticky, oily, loud, and getting louder by the day. Nectar Drip has been a special one. Big respect to TICAL and Zamnesia for this collaboration—this cultivar has been loud, unique, and unforgettable from start to finish. Huge thanks as always to everyone following along, whether you have been here since day one or just landed in the diary this week. To the regulars, the silent watchers, the growers, the learners, the curious ones, the supporters, the skeptics, the OGs, the new faces, the lovers and the haters—thank you for being part of the ride. Big love to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document the process, and respect to every sponsor and supporter helping keep this garden moving. One plant went to the freezer. The rest are headed for the finish line. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Welcome back, & or Thanks for Joining me ! Week 15, & the End of 9 weeks of flowering (65 Days of 12/12) Well Here we are, the last flower entry.. only one more entry the HARVEST of these Gorgeously Dank Flowers from Katsu. We are Seven Days into the flush & thus far everyone is holding steady ! Only 3-7 more day's for the group ! As your can see plants One & Five are the quickest of the Pheno's, they received their last watering today & once they dry back 50% of todays water they'll be into 24-48 hours darkness before the chop. As for Plants Two & Four are they Longest running of the Pheno's they will likely receive another watering, & run another 7 days. Plant Three is the one i'm watching closest ! this plant is SHOWSTOPPING... Grape Candies Dipped in Gasoline floods the floor, the moment I open the tent.. This particular pheno may go 7 more days maybe not.. Its very close to the finish line either way... I'm Drooling. The most exciting part about starting to pull plants is the ability for my to take some better isolated Bud Shot photo's ! :)I wish I had the funds to keep upgrading my photography gear but its an expensive hobby...maybe ONE DAY lol!💪 The Boys Club saw a little bit of action this week as well.. a long over due hand job for the jizz monster. I am very excited to cross this guy back with a cut of Pheno 3.. & maybe something else but I need to find it first.. any thoughts ? Grapes &...? This process used to be SO damn time consuming.. until the Trim Bin.. The recommendation is to use 1/10 ratio of baking flower as a natural absorbent to keep the moisture away from your pollen.. as you can see I dumped a bunch out after the first photo lol I cant wait to Share coming weeks as the Wonderful Harvest is almost here ! Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo
