Mental rainbow f1 has been developing well the bid site are bulking up noticeably whilst just started seeing the production of thrichomes on the main bud sites while at the smaller side branches are not that far behind the main ones

We added a 300w unit farm light for the girls hopefully they don't get to upset in the shift.

We’ve entered week eight, one of the final weeks, since the genetics I chose are listed as **8–9 weeks from seed to harvest**. I hope we’re close to the end, because the plants are becoming more and more stressed and I still can’t understand what the problem is. It almost seems like some kind of nutrient uptake lockout. For now, the maturation of the flowers doesn’t seem to be compromised, and the trichomes are starting to develop a nice color, although the buds still look a bit sparse. As with last week, Diesel is holding up well, even though she is also starting to show some leaf issues. I just hope this is due to the flowering stage. The others, however, seem to be getting worse, especially Sunset. Wedding Cake is maturing well, although the spots keep reappearing and some leaves are starting to yellow there too. Sunset, on the other hand, seems to have slowed down in maturation, and the leaves are getting worse and worse. I’m limiting defoliation because I don’t want to add more stress to a plant that is already suffering quite a lot.

Grower love ❤️! Started trying out Nutra hydroponics (TH equivalent for GHE) on one of the racks , all others are the farms custom formula. Hope we see difference and move to another set of nutes.

🌱 Nectar Drip — Week 11 (GD) | Week 5 Flower (12/12 From Seed) 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here We started this run 12/12 straight from seed, allowing each plant to express itself naturally without forcing a vegetative phase. From the beginning, the intention was simple: • Minimal intervention • Let structure build organically • Observe before acting As the weeks progressed: • Plants transitioned smoothly into flower • Structure began stacking early • Phenotypic differences became very clear Now here we are — mid-flower, where everything starts to reveal its true character. ⸻ 🌿 This Week — The Garden Speaks This week is all about confirmation. The plants are telling us, very clearly: Less touch, more trust. • Untouched plants → massive, explosive structure • Trained plant → slower development In a 12/12 from seed run, this is a key lesson: 👉 Plants behave as if they are already on a clock 👉 Every stress = time they don’t have And they showed it. ⸻ ❄️ Frost Report — “Queens on Frost” What we’re seeing now is not just resin… it’s intention. • Trichome production is fully activated • Sugar leaves are coated • Bud sites are stacking with visible resin heads early This is that stage where: You stop “hoping” for quality… and start confirming it ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Uptake We kept everything consistent this week: • Temps: ~28°C • RH: ~65% • Strategy: Leaf VPD-driven approach • Water intake: ~1.8L per plant/day Even slightly above “textbook” temps, the balance works because: 👉 Humidity supports transpiration 👉 Plants are actively drinking and processing Result: • No stress signals • Strong metabolism • Consistent nutrient uptake ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity — Reading the Canopy Light intensity across the canopy is currently ranging between 800 and 1500 PPFD, depending on plant size and proximity to the light. This variation is intentional — taller plants naturally sit closer to the source, receiving higher photon density, while smaller ones remain in a slightly softer zone. Rather than forcing an even canopy, we’re allowing each plant to find its own optimal exposure. The key observation this week is simple: they are loving it. No signs of light stress, no bleaching — just strong uptake, active drinking, and increased resin production. It’s a good reminder that in this stage, light is not just about intensity, but about how each plant interacts with it individually. ⸻ 🍃 Defoliation — Controlled Chaos This week we introduced defoliation. Let’s be honest: It went a bit deeper than planned. But still within reason. What we did: • Opened inner canopy • Improved light penetration • Increased airflow through stacking sites What to watch now: • Recovery speed • Bud swelling response over the next 3–5 days In this style of run, defoliation is not about control — 👉 It’s about guidance without interruption ⸻ Nutrient Talk — pH Control (Lemon Kick vs pH Plus) Let’s make this one educational. 🍋 Lemon Kick • Organic-based pH regulator • Naturally lowers pH • Adds a mild buffer effect What it is: Gentle More “biological-friendly” Works well in living or semi-organic setups What it is not: Not instant/aggressive Not ideal for large corrections ⸻ ⚗️ pH Plus • Mineral-based pH increaser What it is: Fast Precise Stable adjustments What it is not: Not organic No added biological value ⸻ 🧠 Takeaway We’re not choosing sides — we’re using tools. • Small corrections → Lemon Kick • Bigger adjustments → pH Plus Balance ideology. ⸻ 🌳 Structure & Canopy • One plant clearly dominating in size • Others following similar stacking patterns • Internodal spacing tightening • Bud sites forming consistently across the canopy Everything points to: 👉 Strong mid-flower foundation ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect — Next Week Now it gets serious. Expect: • Bud swelling phase to begin • Increased density in existing sites • Even heavier trichome production • Possible first signs of terpene shift Also: 👉 Plants will tell us how they felt about the defoliation 👉 This will define how much we intervene again (or not) ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude — From Grower to Growers To everyone walking this path with us: • The OGs who’ve been here since day one • The new eyes just discovering the journey • The supporters, the silent watchers, and yes — even the critics If it crossed our path, it shaped the energy. To: • The genetics behind these queens • The nutrition supporting the run • The GrowDiaries platform for hosting this journey • And the entire community pushing the culture forward From grower to growers — respect. 📡 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.

fifth week flower, the ladies are getting really tasty and developing well!!

SUNDAY 5/5: Rearranged the gardens..have 17 plants in the 4 x 5 now...yowsa! MONDAY: Plucked some dead leaves and did a trichrome check on the furthest along. She's ready! I'll start flushing her tomorrow or Wednesday.👍 TUESDAY: I observed some white spots(maybe powdery mildew) on a few leaves here and there throughout the garden, so I sprayed them today with Trifecta Crop Cure, a concoction of a bunch of natural plant oils. I already decreased the humidity in the room to 45% with my new 70L dehumidifier, so I think they'll be fine. I'll spray them again tomorrow and the next day, then I'll have to hope that did the trick, because a couple of these hybrids are already in the harvest window. WEDNESDAY: I flushed one of them and watered the rest today and included a bunch of terpinator, bud candy, bembe, and cha ching. It was possibly their last dose of any nutes...but a couple might get one more dose... THURSDAY: Took a couple of photos and tried installing my new Solacure FlowerPower UVB light, but it was dead on arrival.😢..back to the 15.0 reptile UVB lights for now I guess...

The buds are starting to bulk up noticeably now, and overall development is progressing rapidly. A strong, sweet strawberry(?!) aroma has emerged, becoming more intense with each passing day. The plant looks very healthy overall, with great vigor and no visible issues.

Day 57 She starts bulking up her buds. However, still no smell. I dont know whts missing. Day 59 Watered her today. Used only plain water and RootPower. Day 62 She starts smelling. She smells sweet and fruity but with the gaseous ending. Gave her a tea this morning that contains bat guano, fish bone meal, cow bone meal, and molasses. Hope that helps with her bud fattening.

Focusing on filling out Scrog this week. Did a good deal of defoliation yesterday to try and eliminate overlapping foliage as well as get light to lower sites. Discovered I haven't been shaking nutes up enough before using so actual nutes amounts before this week are 🤷. Giving the girls a day or two to recover but will likely defoliate a little more at next feeding.

.

Bis jetzt sieht alles gut aus. Wächst konstant ! Ist für mich persönlich das erste Mal, dass ich FIMing versuche. Mal schauen wie es wird. Weis nicht ob ich zuviel ider zuwenig geschnitten habe .

Seid herzlich Willkommen zu meinem Bericht der Milky Way F1 Automatik von Royal Queen Seeds, einer Kreuzung von Blue Mammoth, Blue Dream, Sin Tra Bajo Auto und Ruderalis. Ich hatte die Milky Way als Hybriden in meiner Samenbank eingetragen und wegen des Schokoladengeschmacks in diesen Run aufgenommen. Das stimmt so allerdings nicht. Sie ist sogar eine 80% Indica, das erfährt man aber erst, wenn man das Video über diesen Strain ansieht. Dann wird die halt erst zum Abend gedampft. Tag -6: Zeit, den Growroom vorzubereiten. Im "Erdlager" reift die Sonnenerde vom letzten Indoorgrow schon einige Monate. Ich hatte sie mit Monster Bud Mix Living Soil und Hornspänen gefüttert, jetzt kommt noch aktivierte Pflanzenkohle von Jungle Vibes aus Freiburg dazu, Dann kommt die Erde in die Pötte. Nächstes Mal werde ich das wieder draussen machen und die Töpfe reintragen, gab 'ne ganz schöne Sauerei und ich konnte den Growroom nochmal putzen... Tag -3: Zeit, das automatische Bewässerungssystem zu testen. Ich erhoffe mir dadurch eine gleichmässigere Bewässerung, sowohl von der Menge als auch von der Temperatur des Giesswassers. Die restlichen Tropfer sind schon bestellt. Tag 0: Endlich ist es soweit, die Samen kommen in SmartStart Plugs von Zamnesia, die sich in Seedbooster Plus editiertem Wasser vollgesaugt hatten. Tag 5: 3 cm am ersten Tag, die Schale klebt noch dran.🌱 Tag 6: 6 cm am zweiten Tag, die ersten echten Blätter sind gut zu sehen. Sie geht ab. Da kann sie gleich angehäufelt werden. Schön, dass du dir mein Diarie ansiehst. Schau wieder rein, ich freu mich drüber 👋😎

70 Days 10 Weeks Flower Time 2 out 5 for Density Support Needed

Day 43 12/08/24 Monday Feed today, it was warm again so they drank the whole 300ml each so I have topped up another 150ml to see run off to prevent salt build up. All thriving 😍✌️💚 ACOP and Melonade Runtz structure is stunning 💪 Divines Overdose is getting chunky and showing nice stack potential 👌 Leaving these to just run there natural course, will allow me to best pick my next SOG run with micro autos indoor 😎 Video update Day 45 14/08/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 48 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Orange bud is tall!! Top her next time. Critical orange is lovely and compact. Overdose is nice and compact, Melonade Runtz nice compact structure also. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚

my first coco grow...2 plants 1. northern light auto untopped in spider farmer tent 150x150 cm (5×5) with Aptus nutrients...this one goes out of control...let see if I can repeat this crazyness 2. northern light auto topped in spider farmer tent 70x70 cm and mainly TA nutrients Nutrients mentioned above are for NL topped (2.) in smaller tent (pictures follow) NL untopped (F-MILF) got this week the following: Aptus Topbooster 6 drops/l Aptus P-boost 12 drops/l Aptus K-boost 6 drops/l (this week added new) Aptus regulator 3 drops/l Aptus All in one 0.6 ml/l Aptus CaMg 0.6 ml/l TA Silicate 0.4g/l End of week 10 installed some self-watering (3 days off)...with coco problematic let see...final two weeks will be completely without any manual influence (2 weeks off)...hopefully staying alive

rund um super strain :)

We’re getting closer, they’ve upped their water intake this week, so I’m thinking we’re on pretty much the last push now! Absolutely stinks of pineapples in there, with a gassy undertone. I’m excited to see how these finish up!! Hopefully not too much longer now.

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.
