I had to top Cantaloupe haze and White widow as they were too close to the lights and I didn't want to loose any ppfd on my lowers. My GSC seems perfect for not topping. next time I would top those strains at least once. I have been flushing the CH and getting run off around 1200ppm which seems like the max she can take the others like it stronger so I have been flushing them every 2-3 days. CH is tough to keep happy but will continue to monitor. All plants are in week 4 of flower 12/12 from seed.

Cosmic Noodles — Week 5 from Seed Transition Week · Pre-Flower Expression · Two Approaches, One Room Hello everyone, and welcome to a big Week 5 update 🌱 This one is photo-heavy and detail-heavy, so thank you for bearing with us, there’s a lot happening, and we wanted to document it properly. This week marks what we consider a transition / pre-flower week, where hormonal shifts are clearly visible, structure is defining itself, and flowering intent is becoming obvious, especially on one of the plants. ⸻ 🌱 Quick recap for anyone just joining • Two autoflowers, same genetics, same room, same environment • Different early light histories: • One plant received an initial ~15 days under 18/6, then switched to 12/12 • One plant has been 12/12 from seed • Both are now growing side by side under 12/12 • No topping, no cutting, no high-stress training → Only low-stress techniques This run intentionally goes against many traditional autoflower “rules”, and that’s part of the learning process. ⸻ 🌿 Two Low-Stress Training Approaches (No Cuts, No Stress) 🔧 Plant with initial 18/6 period — Clamp-based LST This plant is responding extremely well to structural opening using metal clamps. • Clamps were used early to open the structure horizontally • Most clamps are now hidden under leaf mass, which is exactly what we want • Branching is strong, symmetrical, and well distributed • The plant currently looks like a round, open bush / ball • Internodes are stacking nicely, with great airflow She is not very tall yet, but that’s intentional — she has been pushed outward first. Now that structure is set, we expect vertical growth to accelerate. By the end of the week, she is clearly more advanced in pre-flower, with visible pistils and early flower formation. ⚠️ Important reminder: This plant also has ~15 days more life than her sister, which absolutely plays a role in developmental timing. ⸻ 🍃 Plant 12/12 from seed — Leaf bending & gentle tucking The second plant is trained exclusively through: • Leaf bending • Leaf tucking • Gentle redirection No clamps, no anchors — just guiding light access. She is: • Much taller (around ~30 cm by eye) • Roughly double the size vertically • Growing very fast, with all branches reaching upward • Open, dynamic, and beautifully balanced Her architecture suggests: • A strong root system still building • Rapid vertical expression • A plant preparing itself confidently for flowering She is slightly behind in visible flower development, which is expected given her age, but she is clearly transitioning. ⸻ 🌸 Flower Development & Pistils (White Hairs) On the plant that had the initial 18/6 period, we are seeing many pistils already. These white hairs: • Are the female reproductive organs • Indicate readiness to receive pollen (even though none will) • Signal the onset of flowering The 12/12-from-seed plant will show the same soon — just slightly later, which aligns perfectly with: • Her age • Her different early light history Nothing abnormal here — just biology doing biology. ⸻ 🌿 Leaves, Color & Genetics Both plants are showing: • Deep, lush green • Beautiful leaf texture and definition • No signs of deficiency or stress This is likely a combination of: • Strong genetics • Balanced nutrition • Correct environment • Gentle handling It’s honestly a privilege to watch them grow like this. ⸻ 💧 Watering, Nutrition & Why CalMag Comes In Now Hand-watered plants (the two we’re discussing): • Water: rainwater + dehumidifier-collected water • Very low mineral content → requires supplementation • This week we introduced CalMag Pro at 1 ml/L Why now? • Rapid growth + pre-flower = higher demand for Ca & Mg • Prevents: • Leaf issues • Structural weakness • Uptake problems later in flower Current hand-watering parameters: • pH: 5.9 • EC: 1.43 • Nutrition increased because plants are asking for it ⸻ Autopots (other plants in the room): • Mineral-only approach • Organics don’t work well in autopots • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.1 Different systems → different recipes → same goal: healthy plants. Photos show measurements clearly for transparency. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Check (Winter Reality) Outside conditions: • 4–5°C • 90–95% humidity Inside: • Temps dropped slightly but remain stable • Day RH ~58% with lights on • Nothing concerning yet That said: • Winter is humid • Conditions may shift • We are watching closely and will adapt as needed For now: all good. ⸻ ☀️ Light & PPFD PPFD is adjusted per plant size, not uniformly: • Ranges roughly 700–850 PPFD • Plants are praying constantly • Clear sign they love the spectrum and intensity Again: light is tailored, not brute-forced. ⸻ 🌱 Daily Handling & Plant Care • Hand-watered plants are taken out individually • Weight is checked • Plants are observed closely • Positions are adjusted so no one feels crowded The room is becoming a mini jungle, and that’s exactly the intention 🌿 ⸻ Fungus Gnats — Honest & Controlled Yes, we have some fungus gnats. • Yellow sticky traps are in place • Watering is controlled • Dry-downs are respected Personally, I see them as: • A manageable part of organic systems • A reminder to stay balanced • Possibly even a mild defense trigger (personal philosophy, not science) They are under control, and roots are healthy. ⸻ New Team Member: Mr. Baggy This week also marks the first appearance of Mr. Baggy — our fluffy blue buddy won in a Grow Diaries contest 🏆 He’s officially part of the crew now, and you’ll be seeing more of him around. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thoughts & Encouragement These two autoflowers are growing beautifully, despite: • Non-traditional light schedules • Different early paths • Ignoring much of the usual “bro-science” This run is a reminder that: • Cannabis does not behave linearly • Each garden is its own ecosystem • Trying, failing, observing, and learning is how knowledge is built I strongly encourage everyone to: • Test things yourself • Think independently • Respect the plant more than the rules Nature often surprises us. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next • Continued stretch on both plants • Clear flowering progression on both • Structural payoff from current training • Ongoing environmental adjustments as winter continues Thank you all for following along, for your patience with this big update, and for the love and support. Growers Love 💚 Hit me up anytime. DD 💚💚 Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Journal de Culture : Final de Babouch – L'Heure du Grand Noir ​#Dryrocket ​Génétique : Frostbanger (F2 Perso) | Système : Autopot 20L (Coupé – Fin de rinçage) 75 ème jour ​📣 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à toutes les personnes qui ont suivi ce journal du début jusqu'à ce dernier chapitre ! Un grand merci en particulier à @MIA_BIOTABS et à @Mrs_Larimar pour leurs précieux conseils tout au long de la session. ​Un grand merci également à @dryrocket pour me donner la chance de pouvoir tester leur appareil sur mes têtes de Frostbangers ! Merci à tous pour votre soutien indéfectible ! ​🛠️ Configuration Technique & Paramètres ​Éclairage : Lumatek ATS 300W Pro éteint aujourd'hui le 22/06 ​Climat : Jour : 25°C / Nuit : 21°C ​Humidité (HR) : 50% (gérée par le déshumidificateur) ​Tente : 1m80 de hauteur ​📅 Étape Ultime : 2 jours d'obscurité et les adieux à Babouch ​État de la plante & Morphologie finale : ​Hauteur finale : 84 cm (une magnifique prestance du début à la fin). ​Visuel des buds : Les fleurs sont denses, compactes et affichent une allure spectaculaire. Les légères queues de renard (foxtailing) dues au stress lumineux se sont stabilisées, laissant place à des têtes massives qui croulent sous le poids de la résine. ​Couleurs & Trichomes : La robe violette et gris sombre de Babouch est à couper le souffle, contrastant magnifiquement avec un tapis de trichomes laiteux bien mûrs. ​Stratégie de fin & Mode Manuel : ​Rinçage terminé : Après deux semaines complètes à la diète et à l'eau claire en arrosage manuel, la plante a parfaitement consommé ses réserves. La sénescence est maintenant bien installée et les feuilles ont rendu leurs dernières forces pour nourrir les fleurs. ​Le Grand Noir : Aujourd'hui, je plonge la box dans le noir complet pour une période de 2 jours. Cette obscurité totale va stresser positivement Babouch une dernière fois pour pousser la production de résine à son maximum. ​Timing parfait : Ces 48 heures de noir vont i me laisser le temps de recevoir le fameux Dryrocket ! Je vais ainsi pouvoir l'essayer et l'inaugurer directement pour l'étape cruciale du séchage qui approche. ​📊 Récapitulatif Global de la Session & Impressions ​Pour ce chapitre final, il est temps de jeter un œil dans le rétro et de faire le bilan de cette aventure avec Babouch : ​Le début (Semaine 2 & 3) : Une croissance foudroyante (+8 cm en 3 jours à peine). C'est là que j'ai commencé le LST. J'ai rapidement abandonné les clips de palissage dont je n'étais pas fan (le tronc s'épaississait trop vite !) pour revenir à mes fidèles petites ficelles, bien plus précises. ​La gestion de l'espace (Semaine 4 à 6) : Au début, elles étaient 4 dans la tente. Une des MAC 1 avait pris une telle envergure qu'elle bloquait pas mal de branches secondaires sur les autres plantes. Une fois les MAC 1 déplacées dans leur propre box, Babouch a enfin pu respirer. Le stretch a été impressionnant, grimpant à plus de 87 cm avant qu'un gros LST de secours ne la ramène à 78 cm pour éviter qu'elle ne finisse brûlée dans la lampe. ​Les petits pépins maîtrisés (Semaine 7 & 8) : Mon départ en vacances à Rimini m'a permis de voir à quel point l'Autopot et le déshumidificateur sécurisent une session. À mon retour, j'ai tout de même découvert que mon pH était monté à 8 à cause du bulleur dans le réservoir (une bonne leçon apprise !). Le problème a vite été corrigé en retirant le bulleur et en passant sur le pH Down de Plagron pour stabiliser la cuve. ​Le sprint final (Semaine 9 & 10) : Un dernier engraissage manuel au PK 5-8 Biotabs avant de couper complètement l'Autopot pour passer à 14 jours de rinçage 100% manuel. Le passage de la lampe à 100% a provoqué de légères queues de renard (foxtailing), rapidement corrigées en redescendant à 75% pour laisser les fleurs mûrir sereinement jusqu'à l'apparition de ses magnifiques teintes violettes et gris sombre. ​Mon avis personnel : Malgré les petits imprévus de parcours, je trouve que le système Autopot, combiné aux précieux conseils que j'ai reçus de la communauté, a rendu cette session incroyablement simple et fluide au niveau des engrais. À vue d'œil, j'ai vraiment l'impression d'avoir beaucoup mieux réussi cette session qu'avec des pots normaux et un arrosage manuel classique. La plante a été plus vigoureuse, plus autonome, et le résultat final est tout simplement au-dessus de mes attentes. ​C'est l'heure des adieux officiels à Babouch. Le rideau tombe sur la box, place aux derniers instants dans l'ombre avant la récolte et le test du Dryrocket ! ​C'est un bilan vraiment positif et très enrichissant ! C'est gratifiant de voir que l'Autopot m'a permis de franchir un cap par rapport à l'arrosage manuel classique, tout en me donnant de la flexibilité et facilité. à bientôt ❤️❤️

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon. Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned. Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

Last week of veg, starting 12/12 tomorrow as I'm starting to worry about space.. hopefully stretching isn't too much of an issue.. we shall see. I'm still not happy with my defoliation, I've been mostly removing large/damaged leaves and sucker branches off the bottom of the plants. I've been experimenting with the fan and scrog placement, placing one large fan oscillating below the canopy and two clip on fans above the tops and mostly using the scrog as a support for branches during flower as I somewhat failed to actually scrog.. Once again, any advice much appreciated and happy holidaze!

Hey Cannafam, Its been a mixed week here in the UK, the first half was consistant 20c and nice sunny weather but the past few days have been a bit chilly for her down to 16c cloudy, some rain and windy. At the beginning of the week i transplanted into a gallon fabric pot with 2/3 plagron royal mix and 1/3 canna coco, throughout the mix ive used dynomyco and some also in the transplanting hole. Around the pot is copper tape and on the surface wool pelletts, both of these are meant to deter slugs/snails who are the main UK plant enemy and hopefully this will be enough! Although i was really careful when transplanting the soil very quickly crumbled away and i was a bit rough with her by accident. I was worried abput transplant shock but she seems to be ok 🤞 Ive also moved her to her final home which is the disused drained pond that i use every year, the recess keeps them out of sight and it gets the sun for most of the day. Overall she looks happy and the next couple of leaf stages are gettin ready to shoot out 😊 Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Si sta sviluppando un bel colore viola che si riflette sulle cime come si vede dal video, OTTIMO!!! Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Die Pflanze wurde Mitte letzter Woche an Tag 66 geerntet. Getrocknet wurden die Blüten 6 Tage lang bei einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 53% bevor sie nun ins Glas kommen. Getrimmt wurde die Pflanze trocken.
