🌸 Week 3 Flower – The Jungle Takes Over The girls are now towering at 1.20 m, turning our tent into a proper green jungle. Both phenotypes are thriving with thick stalks, lush foliage, and a dense network of branches promising a spectacular flower set. This week was all about control and balance. ✂️ Defoliation & Growth Management Although these plants have been allowed to grow naturally so far, their explosive stretch meant I had to step in. I performed a strategic defoliation, not because the plants were weak, but to: • Improve airflow through the canopy. • Ensure light reaches lower bud sites. • Slow vertical growth and help prevent them from outgrowing the tent. Even with a high ceiling, there’s still a risk of running out of headroom during the last stretch. Defoliating at this stage also redirects energy to bud formation instead of excessive leaf production. Note: During this process, a few branches were accidentally broken while moving them out for photos. I left this in the report and photos as a learning moment, large plants can be tricky to handle. This may be the last out-of-tent photoshoot before harvest. 🌱 Structure & Bud Development • Both phenotypes are highly branched, with bud sites forming all the way down the stems. • First signs of proper bud stacking are visible, with white pistils everywhere. • Plants look symmetrical, vibrant, and full of energy — a promising start to mid-flower. 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Base nutrients: • Aptus Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L occasionally (soil already contains slow-release pellets) Bloom boosters (Plagron): • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L (multi-action bloom stimulator, PK booster, and terpene enhancer) • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L (amino acid-rich biostimulant, improves aroma & resilience) • Power Buds – 1 ml/L (early flowering booster to promote faster bud set) This combined recipe ensures the plants receive balanced macro and micronutrients while enhancing flower development, resin production, and terpene expression. pH & EC: • Feed solution pH: ~6.0–6.1 • Feed EC: ~1.04 mS/cm (soil EC still at ~2.96 mS/cm, so feed is moderated) 🌡️ Environment • Soil temperature: 24–24.7°C • Air temperature: 29°C • Humidity: 67% • VPD: 1.37 kPa Conditions are slightly warm, but the plants are coping well. ⸻ 📌 Summary Week 3 of flower has been a turning point, from a lush veg canopy to a budding powerhouse. Strategic defoliation will help manage height and airflow, while the combined Aptus + Plagron feeding strategy aims to maximize flower density, aroma, and overall plant health. The structure is impressive, with a sea of potential bud sites that promise a heavy, aromatic harvest. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

1st of November, HARVEST, D91 So, after the 24 hours of darkness, she is now beautiful and ready. After chopping her, I hung her for some hours – I had some stuff to do – and after that I did wet trimming since I find it more convenient and I don´t like to trim dry buds. I guess the best way for me would be to leave it drying for some days, do the trimming, then leave it drying some more, but, I sincerely don´t have patience lol. When I was in the last stock to trim (which was the main btw) the top bud looked strange to me so I opened it and it was starting to rot.. I got really sad but what can I do except for trying to save it, right? So I took all the rotten parts out of the top bud and tore it to pieces to watch it closely and keep it from getting any more mold. D94 Today I weighed the half part of the top bud that was already dry and it remained without any mold: 3.6 grams. D97 Everything is dry and now curing, the total weight is 68.6, 65 of the whole plant and 3.6 of what I saved from the rotten bud. I´m really happy with the results, the buds aren´t much dense but they look beautiful. D111 Today is the 14th day of curing. D120 Today I´ll be doing the smoke report, it´s been curing for 3 weeks and the smells is quite good already, I know it can be better but the taste is good already so I´ll be doing it today. More info on growing in the previous weeks and a summary of growing and also the smoke report are on the top at the strain review. Thank you very much for reading my diary!

Really love this strain, grown it a few times, happy with how she turned out, greasy an sticky and the smoke is heavy an euphoric, she smells like fruit punch with hints of nut meg, a smell I can't explain very pungent...

What up fam, weekly update on these absolute gorgeous girls. Nothing happing much this week besides the flower sites maturing more day by day. Over all its been like cruise control, still feeling 16oz daily. Happy Growing.

almost ready to cut 🤤🌱 Day 76 1-2 days and proceed with the harvest I am aspetrating that the soil dries up well. we'll see when they give us these little girls of fustbuds

Very good growth this week! She is just entering flowering.

Noch ein bisschen dann schauen wir uns mal das ganze Mal in der Vergrößerung an👌✌️🤟🌱

Germinated 6 seeds, all cracked after soaking for 12 hours in water, 5/6 sprouted after a couple of days in soil. Video shows the humidifier I am using in the room.

Sacitrus Bomb Auto 🌱 22/08/2024 Ph: 6.2 ≈ 24°C 3Days later (25/08) planted the seed that has has 1cm root. Feel free to leave any tips, thoughts, general input! Always keen to grow myself 😎

Smooth sailing it was this week that's for sure. No further issues with the automated watering, temperature was mild and pretty much maintained a good grow temp for the entire week. Unfortunately I know the mild temps won't last, one day of 26c forecast for this week so once again the internal temp of the tent will rise into the 30s. Oh well, can't do anything about it and as long as the plant stays as happy as it currently is then no problems from my side. Gave the plant a minor defoliation at the start of the week, with the intention of getting as much light to the lower bud sites as possible, with next to no impact on the plant. Buds are certainly plentiful, now I'm just waiting for the time to be right to adjust the nutrients to really give them the best opportunity of reaching their full potential. At the moment plenty of potential this plant is offering. The trichome production is still on the low side but also expect this to change once they start fattening up. Not much else to report. This plant is pretty much taking care of itself I'm happy to say.

Nice and frosty next to no effort was put into tbis plnt just let her do her thing and she turned out a beauty really easy to grow and no problems so far

Servus Moin! Die F025 bekommt jetzt endlich neue Schuhe. Sie hat langsam auch mega Nährstoffmangel und will endlich wieder was gescheites zu futtern.

Abbiamo tagliato a metà 3 piante,farò il raccolto scaglionato,le lascerò ancora per un pò cercando di evitare le cime popcorn,l'odore é fortissimo e la quantità incredibile,fino ad ora la miglior pianta mai fatta,e da tagliare rimane ancora molto....BUON ANNO!!

Servus Moin! Die Super Lemon Haze macht sich eigentlich ganz gut. Die Blüten werden immer dicker.

starting week 6,the wedding cheesecakes are in flower for a couple of days now and the gg are starting to flower. alot of wind and clouds and rain these past two weeks but the girls are looking good in my opinion. update:after 4 or 5 days of rain and low temperatures finally the re is sunlight so the girls have to recover a bit. but things are looking better wheatherwise. cheers!
