Finishing up week 9 flower. She's looking great! I have had a few small issues this week. Noticed she has a few crispy tips. I have been feeding pretty heavy and the drip system has been getting clogged up with the Big Bud coco. Not a great product to feed using a drip. So I'll be top feeding for the remainder. Her buds are ripening nicely. Thinking she's not going to end up with very large buds however she does have a lot of them so I'm super happy!!!

Week 11 Day 71 (9/25) Well I made an partially informed decision with her. I went ahead and gave her a mini flush, ran 3 gallons of water through her to try and get some of the excess nutrients out. I'll give a few days, then will feed her again. I'm going to try and remember to bust out the microscope tonight and check her trichomes. She's still got plenty of white pistils, but I just need to see if I am actually able to see the trichs for when the time comes. Day 72 (9/26) Her pot was still fairly heavy this morning, so no plans to feed today. I'm thinking tomorrow she'll be ready. I feel so bad for her, she's looking kinda pitiful. I did get a chance to try out a cheap little phone clip on microscope I have. It was difficult to get it down to the bud, but took a few pics. These are zoomed in on the small area that it actually captured. Worked out okay, but it's gotta be like ON the bud to see anything, and now it's sticky and funky. Which to be fair, isn't really a bad thing. I think it will work well enough to check trichomes for readiness. Her pistils are browning surprisingly quickly, I wasn't expecting that. I may start checking trichomes every few days or so. Day 73 (9/27) Wasn't able to get on and get posted yesterday, the mother-in-law was at our house all day. But she was feeding us mushrooms all day, so I guess that's okay lol. Day 74 (9/28) I was able to get up early and get her fed. Her smell is amazing, sweet and potent. I messed around a bit with the microscope but it's pretty hard to get decent pics. Day 75 (9/29) Played around with the microscope a bit last night. It's pretty hard to get clear shots of the trichomes, but I'm getting better at it the more a mess with it. Debating on getting a handheld microscope off amazon or something, just to try to make it easier and more clear to see the trichomes. Currently working on the wife about getting some lights for the 4x4 and getting that tent going. I'd like to be able to run multiple plants! Day 76 (9/30) She's getting closer and closer! After the flush, it seems like the lockout is over as she isn't progressing like she was. Day 77 (10/1) I pulled out the microscope lens for my phone and checked trichomes. Realized I was probably better off just taking a video and checking multiple buds. Worked out pretty good, just paused the video when I had a clear shot and was able to zoom in and such to look closer. Here I am...just waiting....waiting...waiting...waiting...

An here we are. At the end of another cycle. The end of another year, and what a year it was. For Sunshine and me personally, it was a tough year, with our families sick on multiple occasions, life-threatening. We are very thankful for many things but most of all that all our parents are healthy again. We wish your families are as fortunate in the coming year. So we end this Gorilla's life with a swift cut of the scissors, after thanking her again for the companionship, the well-needed distraction, and all the love she has given me already. I sometimes read that people won't go near their plants when they are angry or sad. Please do go to your plants when you are sad or angry! They are millions of years old. They have been healers of animals and humans since they were around. Our emotions can not taint something so pure as the spirit of this plant. She will heal us, give her life for us, sacrifice herself for our healing. She is all-powerful and all-knowing, there is nothing we mere humans can do, except disrespect her powers. Bask in her glowing light, enjoy her soothing energy, her creative spark when you are in need of love, just don't smoke her at that time, for she will soothe you bit not give her treasures, she will seduce you. Next to thanking Santa Maria for her healing, we would like to thank our friends here, all who shared their kind words, advice, and attention. I had made a video to share my thanks on video, but every time I got very emotional. You guys have no idea how tough this year was. The gorilla is real easy to clean and sticky and cristally. Its amazingly great to smoke! So a special thanks to: @Sailormoonflowers for being a buddy to talk to, @JamMAKEcan for being there with ideas and always a lot of love, @Roberts for being an inspiration @Cannabeast and @LegendarySeedThumb for always checking out my grows, to all who I forgot who are always here to greet me! @Growdiaries for being an awesome site and community and last but not least: @MarsHydroLED for letting us try their SP-3000. VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX We wish all of you freedom, love, happiness, but also the awareness to see many of us are still being repressed, with growing but also with our human rights. Jah jah gave us life to live, so let us live brothers! It is time the rastaman made a plan! We are 99% loving people on this planet, we need no 1% to fuck it up with wars and strife. We need to stop cooperating, peacefully resist. If you can buy local, ban exploiting multinationals. Help your local businesses, help your neighbors, we need to wake up and stop funding this black stain on our planet. Sell your stock in multinationals, invest in local businesses. Buy local products, speak out when you get taxed higher than millionaires (and you are). The day is coming my brothers and sisters. Soon a handful of CEO's will find out when billions are done with them. For now thanks for everything!

All plants are showing exemplary vigor, evidenced by their vibrant green color and the rapid upward orientation of new tops toward the light immediately following the procedures. The Bruce Banners are responding perfectly to topping and LST, maintaining strong leaf turgor and dynamically expanding their lateral branching in the 25L pots.

🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Vegetative Light: F.O.G. – Black Series 600W Pots: 11L Zamnesia Fabric Pots Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent Watering: Hand Watering CO₂: 632 ppm Room Temp: 27°C Humidity: 57.4% Water Mix pH: 5.83 EC: 1.01 Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 🌱 The Transplant Ritual – Rooted in Respect This week marked a milestone for our girls, the only transplant they’ll experience. From germination pods to their final homes: 11L fabric pots filled with a handcrafted super soil mix built to support them through the entire grow cycle. And what a moment it was, roots white, strong, healthy, bursting with promise. We took our time, handling each one with care, giving them the space to breathe, stretch, and claim their territory. ⸻ 🌾 Why Fabric Pots? Fabric pots offer an environment where roots can breathe, not spiral. This air-pruning effect encourages a denser, more efficient root system, ideal for healthy nutrient uptake, pest resistance, and overall vigor. The 11L size gives them just enough space to thrive, while staying agile in the shared tent setup. They also promote better drainage, stronger oxygenation, and more controlled wet/dry cycles, a perfect match for our hand-watering style and the super soil underneath. ⸻ 💧 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support Each pot was filled with a living substrate layered with Aptus Holland amendment, a clean, focused recipe: 🌱 Transplant Mix: • Super Soil Base (custom blend) • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – provides beneficial bacteria and biological balance • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – regulates pH and nutrient interactions Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml A delicate, supportive formula designed for root establishment and pre-veg stability. ⸻ 🌞 Light, Air, & Structure – The Gear in Action The girls are basking under the F.O.G. Black Series 600W, delivering clean, full-spectrum power. The result? Compact internodal growth, vibrant greens, and a glow that’s impossible to ignore. Airflow is key, and our current setup includes: • 2x 6-inch Carbon-Filtered Exhausts: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6”, controlled via the TrolMaster Hydro-X • Spider Farmer 6”, managed by the GGS Controller • 1x 6-inch Fresh Air Intake, carbon-filtered Yes, it’s early for scent, but carbon filters also trap airborne contaminants, pollen, and dust. It’s about creating a pure, controlled biosphere where only what’s meant to be there… stays. ⸻ 🔧 Ecosystem Evolution – TrolMaster Integration The TrolMaster ecosystem is slowly syncing into place: Lights, sensors, fans, cameras — all coordinated from the palm of our hand. Some plants will shift into automated watering systems, while others, including the SSH for now, are still getting the hand treatment. There’s magic in these moments. Feeling the medium. Listening to the plants. Touch matters. 🌿 ⸻ ✨ SSH #1 & #2 – The Chosen Phenotypes All three Super Silver Haze phenotypes have been stunning, but SSH #1 and #2 are standing out in structure, health, and spirit. These two are officially selected for the flowering stage. We’re documenting their every move, even took them to the studio for portraits. Yes, they deserved it. And yes… they’ll probably be back under the lens next week before they get too big to leave the tent. ⸻ What to Expect Post-Transplant Transplants can shock some plants, but not these ladies. Their roots were well-developed, and their new soil is welcoming. What to expect: • A short pause in above-ground growth as they settle in • Explosive root expansion in the new soil • Visible shoot growth by end of week • No training just yet — we’ll let them tell us when they’re ready We’re not rushing anything. This is about timing, rhythm, and letting nature sync with intention. ⸻ 🎥 What’s Next? Next week will reveal how well they’ve taken to their new homes. We’ll start gentle training. Possibly first topping. Definitely more photos. Stay tuned for: • Full transplant video on YouTube • Root shots, soil breakdown, and time-lapse updates • Training techniques & early-stage shaping ⸻ 📲 Join the Journey You know where to find us — and if you don’t: • GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctorofficial • Instagram: @DogDoctorOfficial • YouTube: Dog Doctor ⸻ Tools of the Craft Explore the gear powering this grow: • Genetics: Zamnesia • Nutrients: Aptus Holland • Automation & Sensing: TrolMaster • Lighting: Future of Grow • Pots, soil & tech: Spider Farmer • Storage/Curing: Grove Bags ⸻ With each week, we deepen the relationship between history and future, roots and reach, technology and touch.

The ethos put on a lot of stretch this week. The viparspectra xs2000 is doing a great job. Running cool and keeping the plants happy. Everyone is popping pistils. Excited to see what kind of variety comes out of this gutter!

I started to notice that my leaves started to turn yellow. Maybe my led was to bright. So I turned it down a bit.

If you don't follow my Instagram then you will have to read this portion. Lineage Breakdown: Pink Sugar Breath F1 created by UFO Genetics. Pink Sugar Breath: Platinum Kush Breath(IHG) X Pink Sugar Cookies(UFO) Pink Sugar Cookies: Sugar Cane(IHG) X Gsc Twister Pink Sugar Breath F2: Pink Sugar Breath Male(Funk/Purple Stems/Dumper) X Pink Sugar Breath Female(Pink Sugar Cookie Pheno) Bred by Me. I originally popped a good amount of these testers I created using a funk sugar breath male and a baker dough sugar breath with more of the pink sugar cookie lineage. This resulted in a pheno hunters dream. Each pheno develops massive amounts of resin. Green phenos imo are the best smokes SO far. They range from chemical og funk to og funk and dough. The purple pheno has more of a kush breath with sugary dough to it. Lastly is the pink pheno. The pink pheno develops amazing trichome production with all terps within the mom and pop. I originally popped these in x3 ran soil. They were broken in half. Overwatered. You fucking name it. I was stress testing this already herm vulnerable gsc twisted/ogkb hybrid. That being said the average grower should have minimum to none herm issues. 3 broke out batch but it was just a small trait from the vigorous stress I gave them. They developed high bract to leaf ratio with an intense sativa high. Growing these require 63 to 72 for a full expressions and an added body buzz with that kush breath high. 9/10. Flowering expect these to stretch 3x as big. They will need boosters/ extra feeding withing 17 days from flip. These are limited tested F2s. Only available @ [email protected]

This week went well, She is growing well, and I am planning to transplant her in about a week and a half to her final home which will be a 5.2 gallon airpot. Very excited to get her into her final home, and let her roots stretch out, but still working on building a solid root mass. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze on!

Vegetation Week 5: Topping, Pistil Puzzles & the All-Mix Countdown Update: 14.04.2025 Hey Growmies! Week 5 brought some plot twists and big moves! Let’s unpack the story. Current Highlights: Topping & Tiny Pistils Topping Done Right: Both ladies got their first topping this week! Cut the main stem carefully with disinfected scissors above Node 5. Let’s see how they recover from that, but I guess they’re big enough to take that blow like champs. Durban’s Pistil Surprise: Spotted early pistils (white hairs) on the Durban – wait, already?! Stay calm: Durban Poison is photoperiod, so this isn’t full flowering. Likely causes: Light stress? Double-check nighttime darkness during “indoor curfew” – even small light leaks can confuse photoperiods. Longer days in late April/May will keep her in veg. No need to panic! What do you guys think? Have you experienced pre-flower this early under sunlight? Nutrient Needs Rising: Lower leaves on the Blueberry show faint lighter green hues – Biobizz Light Mix is running low on juice. Next move: Transplant into Biobizz All-Mix (richer in nutrients) after topping recovery. ______________________ Chapter Update: Garden Bed Prep – Building Their Forever Home This week’s big project: Prepping the outdoor spots where these ladies will live their best lives! Here’s the dirt: - Holes Dug: Two 50x50x50cm pits (perfect for root freedom!). - Soil Mix: - 20L Biobizz Worm Humus – worm-powered nutrient gold. - 20L Biobizz All-Mix – for structure and organic goodness. - Homemade Compost – loaded with worms, horn shavings (slow-release nitrogen), and lime (pH balance). - Why It’s Lit: This mix is a 100% organic buffet – worms till the soil, microbes feed the roots, and the girls get everything they need to explode in summer! ______________________ Chapter Update 2: Pot Upgrades & Root Magic Update: 15.04.2025 (Day 39) Today’s mission: New shoes for the ladies! The Trigger: Noticed the first true leaves hinting at hunger (fading green, subtle yellow whispers) – Biobizz Light Mix had given its all. Time for a nutrient boost! The Process: - Pot Upgrade: Swapped their 0.27L cups for 1.5L plastic pots (hello, legroom!). - Soil Mix: - 2:1 All-Mix to Worm Castings – All-Mix for structure, worm goodies for microbes. - Root Reveal: Popped the old pots off – root porn alert! Creamy-white tendrils everywhere, with fuzzy mycorrhizal hyphae hugging them like a snug sweater. - Myco Re-Up: Dusted the root ball’s “four corners” with fresh myco powder (symbiosis 2.0!). - Tomato Trick: - Removed the lowest node’s leaves and tiny side branches. - Planted them deeper to bury part of the stem – this’ll spark new roots along the buried stem (works like a charm for tomatoes, so why not cannabis?). ______________________ Catch ya next week: Stay grounded, stay growing… and stay blazing! – Smoking_Joe_Frazier
