Week 16 – Harvest Today, March 18th, I decided to harvest after getting advice from several people. It turned out to be quite a job just getting the plant out of the tent. Removing the trellis net without cutting it apart was more difficult than expected, but in the end I managed to free the plant intact. After that, I trimmed away everything that wasn’t covered in trichomes. The plan is to use all the sugar leaves and popcorn buds later for edibles, so nothing goes to waste. Next step was taking down the light. I had it zip-tied up, so I had to cut it loose before continuing. Then came the actual harvest cut — I cut the plant at the base. That took a bit of effort, as my pruning shears couldn’t quite get around the thickness of the stem. Once cut, I decided to hang the whole plant intact. My humidity in the tent is relatively low, so this should help slow down the drying process and preserve terpenes better. Seeing the plant from all angles for the first time gave me a different impression — it actually looks like a larger yield than I initially expected. Up until now, the plant has been locked into the trellis, so I’ve only really been able to view it from one angle. Detaching the net pot from the root mass was another small challenge, but eventually I got it done. Now the plant is hanging, and I’ve set up good airflow in the tent. We’ll see what the final yield looks like in about a week. I will be honest and say the result (though I don't know yield) is not what I had hoped for. The trichome development seemed to stall, and I couldn't get the amount of milky ones that I wanted. I think two things came into play: first of all I had the accident later January. Second of all, the plant seemed to struggle at the end. I think it's because I use very hard tap water, and the large quantity of calcium locked out magnesium uptake. Added calmag had no effect (since that's also adding calcium). I can't be certain at the end of the day, but I've bought a RO system for my next grow. Finally, I found a small bud hanging limply from a branch. It was totally dry and must have hung there for a while. Of course I grinded it up and made a small joint, and it got me nice and baked. So it's looking promising! After dry: About 6 days dry time. 70g of a plant is not bad. It's more than double of what I got from the last plant. So in that way the grow has been a success. I got more than I expected, but it's all a bit larfy, sadly. Vaped some and got super high, so no complaints. Smoke was a bit harsh, so gonna let it cure some more before I start smoking it. The high is more cerebral than I usually prefer. It doesn't get you couch locked. Just gets you nice and relaxed with a high that goes more to your head than in your body. It has a strong smell of berries that have been cooked. Very sweet and almost like caramel. Underlying is the diesel smell.

What happened to the Purple Kosher? It grew several bananas and since I don't want to throw it away, I tried to cut off every banana I could find. For two days now it didn't grow more bananas, but it feels like the booster dosis was wasted on banana growth :( The Lemon Mandarin is going really strong with thick buds for this flowerday and it smells really strong like mandarins. Almost like you peeled one inside the tent. The Bruised Banana has a soft, fruity smell and the Papaya Sherbert probably takes 1 - 2 weeks more than the other 3 plants. Fertilizers were 1 g of Pflanzengeflüster on 10 L Plant Booster 3g on 10 L Weedtamine 10g on 10 Liters

Hi guys, as we are in isolation I thought it would be a good time to try and grow my own weed so got my self a 1.2 x1.2x2 tent 600w hps light and all the shogun nutrients I’ll need. Also running a 4” carbon filter system. I did some research on the best way to start autos and I went with just planting them straight into there final pots on 18/4/20 the medium I am using is already charged so using just 6.8 ph water with the light been on 24hrs. All 3 seeds Sprouted in 72hrs. Going to keep the light on 24hrs for another 4 days then will switch to 18/6 in week 2. Was struggling with low humidity a couple of days in, so purchased a humidifier which seems to have helped bring it up to between 60- 75%. Also adapted the clean air intake to my tent so it’s bringing in cool out side air. Can’t help but keep on checking on them like a kid in a sweet shop 😂.

Bloom Feed Week 7: Cut out everything besides Bloom and fed with an 1.0 EC to slowly flush out the remaining minerals. Bulk is nearly finished and most trichomes are milky with some already being amber. Leaves starting to fade, but I’m not expecting any crazy colorations.

A great week for the girls, an explosion of flower growth. They are not the largest Autoflower’s, but they are robust. The main cola is about 9 inches, with tight bud spacing and stacking. The satellite buds are also nice size with some good density. These girls have not shown any issues with the cronk nutrient/dosage that has been given, while some of the others have been more finicky. They are feeling greasy, and have a some good terps starting as I open the tent. RH has been kept between 55-58 % while temps have gotten as high as 81, but typically hover around 78 degrees. They are getting close to a gallon of water at feed time, which is about every 4 days. I’m happy with these girls so far as there are a several weeks left in their cycle. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 " The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,

Semaine 10 : Dixième et Dernière Semaine de Floraison – Late Flower / Récolte (22-28 avril 2026)Note : Fin du cycle pour cette culture. Récolte anticipée suite à un départ de botrytis sur une autre plante du même espace. Les données GrowOps confirment une fin de cycle propre malgré l’interruption.Contexte et Objectifs de la SemaineSemaine 10 sur 14 : on était en late ripening. L’objectif était de finaliser la maturation des buds, densifier les trichomes et préparer le flush. Steering : génératif maintenu jusqu’à la fin, avec baisse progressive des paramètres (température nuit 14-15 °C, humidité 29-39 %, PPFD 550, EC 1.0). Les 3 derniers jours : flush clean à EC 0.7 (eau pure + Terra Aquatica minimal) pour éliminer les sels et améliorer le goût final.Petit tips éducatif : Botrytis (pourriture grise) et gestion en fin de cycle Le botrytis est un champignon qui adore les environnements humides, mal ventilés et les buds denses en ripening. Il apparaît souvent sous forme de taches grises/brown avec du duvet. Prévention : Baisser l’humidité nuit (

Deep Forest Auto is doing good. She is stretching more and starting to do some stacking for flowering. I started to give some of the blooming nutrition in her last feed. I did some selective defoliation and she is due for some more lollipopping very soon. Everything is looking great. Thank you Medic Grow, Doctor's Choice, and Gen1:11. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 28 flower.! 😏Almost halfway. Had to get a larger area bc the 10x10 bedroom wasn't cutting it. Hard to water when plants fill tha whole room😭. So I upgraded and got a 10x20 workshop behind my house and wired a 100 amp subpanel in there so I should be good for abt 10K watts next grow😎... if I can wire my whole shop on FaceTime with a friend who is a certified electrician then trust me anybody can do it. Yes it was my first time wiring ANYTHING in my life. Which is crazy. It pays to have great friends.

Really bulking out now and look like a lot of these colas will be filled out completely by finish looking at the rate they are growing and the fact they have 4-5 weeks left estimate. Cheesy smell is getting stronger but only within the tent when working in there and disturbing and moving the buds, once zipped up the filter handles everything fine. Crazy trichome production going on so early in flower , these are going to be some very frosty nugs.

Esta produciendo muy poca resina, no estoy seguro de porque. Tengo un poco de araña roja y pulgón en los cogollos más bajeros pero no hay demasiados y se están concentrando ahí.

🌿 Lava Cake – Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk 🌿 The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tent… though, to be fair, they’re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. ⸻ 📸 Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. ⸻ 🌡️ Current Conditions • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa • PPFD: 766 µmol/m²/s • Soil EC: ~2.0 • Soil Temp: 25.6°C Yes, the temperature is running hot — AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. ⸻ 💬 Heat in the Grow Room – Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: • Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed • Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots can’t keep up • Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling • Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): • Accelerated metabolism — plants grow and stretch faster • Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) • Can improve CO₂ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as they’re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24–28°C for optimal quality. ⸻ 💧 Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: • Stronger root growth searching for water • Better oxygenation of the root zone • Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: They’re drinking daily due to the heat, so we’re feeding daily as well. ⸻ Current Feeding (per L of water) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased — meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead • AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control • First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7–10 days • We’ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set • Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues ⸻ 💚 Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and we’re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.
