week intel: we are going through slowly stresses : just a little E.C stress around 1.4 once a week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them heavy with silicate +base nutrients(calcium & micros + Bloom) about 700 ppm - 1.4 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Feeding Booster around 327 ppm - 0.64 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them with low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 255 ppm - 0.5 e.c to let them recover the stresses to get ready for another stress next week. guide of the week : know your plant tolerance limit of E.C stress once you saw the very very little yellowing on tips of leaves , that's the sign to don't go further , never reach that limit if you want a high quality buds, in my case tolerance is 1.4 and i'll reach to that level only once a week to cause precision stress , love your plants and have a happy growing!

Sie ist nun ins große Zelt umgezogen. Sie füllt den gesamten Platz aus. Am Ende habe ich sie getoppt damit die großen Triebe nicht alle an der Zeltwand rechts und links sind sondern sich über das gesamte Zelt verteilen. Sie hat das Training sehr gut überstanden und nach 2 Tagen sich schon wieder aufgestellt als wäre nichts gewesen.

Well I was saying on the last update 7-10 days to go, but four days later and here we are at harvest! Checked in this morning and saw they were fading hard, most of the fan leaves dried up and dead. Checked trichomes and yup they were ready to go! Guess she was in a hurry to join her friends in the dry tent hahaha. Cleaned up nice and easy and broke down for drying. Looks like a pretty nice yeild, can't wait to get her dried and cured to sample. Smells amazing hope the taste is the same. Buds turned out to be a little less dense than I thought they would be, but still nice structure and for a great yeild even after trim. Just means more high grade trim for the dry sift! This has to be the most lemon smelling and tasting strain that I've ever tried. Soon as you open the bag it's like cutting a fresh lemon, such a strong clean smell! Buzz knocks you down and helps you end your day. Super relaxed and not a care or pain on the world. Pretty happy overall with this oneGot 540g buds and 187g trim.

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

Bo more growth, Buds are building nicely and some of the hairs are turning amber. I built a frame around the plants and stretched them apart to get light in. Looks a lot better and should have not crowded the plants in before. I'm sure this hurt yeild, hope it does not hurt bud size and get airy buds. With four weeks left I hope it turns out well. Buds seem to be building nicely and getting frosty. Question, what is a good extra nutrient to put on bud mass? Thanks for looking. Cheers

7/18 - Transplanted all three ladies into 3 gallon pots. As I did I sprinkled Oregonism XL (mycorrhizae) to the root ball to assist the roots in adhering happily to the soil. Then I watered with RO water and CalMag. 7/20 - Fed with liquid nutrients 7/22 - Started the brew on Terp Tea Grow. Gave all a light water and a foliar spray of Extreme Serene. 7/24 - Top dressed with Elemental (calcium supplement) and watered with the Terp Tea Grow. Both ladies are looking healthy and strong. They are full and vibrant. Will be flipping to flower at the end of next week! 7/25 - Check out Struggling Jack! She is the biggest one of all three! You would never guess she ever struggled. It's my opinion that the struggle actually made her stronger. Go Jack!

Week 12 — GMO Cookies Served with extra curiosity ? Week 12 from seed marks what we call Week 7 of flower in this 12/12-from-seed run, and at this stage the room is doing exactly what it should: less intervention, more observation, and a whole lot of trust in the process. By now the heavy lifting is done. Structure is built, flowers are formed, resin production is in full swing, and the focus shifts from pushing growth to guiding the finish. That’s why the room still looks familiar on paper — 26°C days, 18°C nights, 60% RH, steady airflow, same rhythm, same calm environment. No dramatic changes, no chasing numbers, no panic-adjusting because a chart says so. Leaf expression remains relaxed, transpiration is steady, and the plants are still telling us the same thing they have all run: conditions are stable, leave us be. That consistency is what got us here. And now we let them finish. ⸻ Less feeding, more finishing This week marks the real transition into the final stretch. The bottles have mostly stepped aside, and the focus now is simple: water, enzymes, patience. At this point the soil still holds more than enough nutrition to carry these plants home. That is one of the biggest advantages of building a living, reusable medium instead of treating soil like an inert substrate. The plant has already been fed. Now the soil gets to do what it was built to do: buffer, break down, recycle, and deliver what remains. So instead of continuing to push feed late into flower, we’ve shifted almost entirely to enzymes. This week the mix is simple: * rainwater * dehumidifier water * Pure Zym * no pH adjustments Landing naturally around 6.8. That is perfectly acceptable here, and more importantly, it is consistent. At this stage we are no longer trying to micromanage every decimal point. We are reading plant response, not chasing bottle charts. The root zone is stable, the soil is active, and the plants are finishing without asking for more. That matters more than forcing a perfect number onto paper. ⸻ Why enzymes matter now This is where enzymes earn their place. Late flower is less about feeding the plant directly and more about helping the soil finish clean. Enzymes work by breaking down dead root matter, leftover organic residue, and unused nutrient material in the substrate. Instead of allowing that material to sit, stall, or accumulate as waste, enzymes help convert it into simpler compounds the soil biology can either recycle or clear out. That matters for three reasons right now: 1. Cleaner root zone The plant is nearing the end of its life cycle. Roots naturally slow, age, and shed. Enzymes help keep that zone cleaner, reducing buildup and preventing the root mass from becoming stagnant. 2. More efficient nutrient recycling There is still food in this soil. Enzymes help unlock what remains, allowing the plant to access residual nutrition already present in the medium instead of continuing to push fresh inputs. 3. Better soil for reuse This matters beyond harvest. Because this soil is being reused, enzymes help start that cleanup process now — breaking down residual organics and preparing the medium to be re-amended instead of discarded. This is not just feeding the end of this run. It is preparing the beginning of the next one in the veggie world outside. ⸻ Drinking less… but still drinking well Water uptake has eased slightly this week, now sitting around 1.5L per plant every 24 hours. That small drop is exactly what we expect here. They are drinking a little less now because the plant is no longer prioritizing rapid structural expansion. Stretch is done. Leaf production has slowed. Vertical growth is over. The plant is no longer spending energy building framework. Now it is ripening. That shift changes demand. Water use naturally tapers as metabolic priorities move away from expansion and toward maturation. Less new biomass is being built, so total uptake softens. But they are still drinking well — and that matters. Because while structural growth has slowed, flower metabolism has not. The plant is still: * moving water * stacking density * swelling calyxes * pushing resin * regulating temperature * transporting stored energy into the flowers That still takes water. So yes, they are drinking less. But 1.5L per day, in late flower, with this amount of biomass and this level of flower production, is still a very healthy sign that the engine is running exactly as it should. ⸻ The room right now This is one of the most rewarding phases of the cycle. The room smells louder. The flowers feel heavier. The frost gets thicker by the day. The color starts to shift. And every plant begins speaking its final language. This is where the run stops being about control and becomes about presence. There is less to do now. But more to notice. This stage is hand-watering, lifting pots, checking weight, scanning leaves, watching posture, tracking fade, peeking into bracts, checking trichomes, noticing who is ahead, who is slower, who is swelling, who is darkening. This is where the work becomes quiet. And this part matters just as much as everything that came before it. ⸻ Bulk, frost, and the final swell This week the flowers are doing what good late flowers should do: they are swelling. Not stretching. Not throwing chaos. Swelling. The buds are putting on that final weight now — denser, tighter, heavier by the day. Calyxes are stacking over calyxes, the flower surface is thickening, and what looked finished a week ago suddenly looks like it still has more to give. That late swell is where so much of the final weight comes from. And GMO is showing exactly why it earned its reputation. The flowers are broad, greasy, and dense. The frost is no longer just visible — it is layered. Trichome coverage has moved past sparkle and into texture. You can see it sitting on the flower surface like sugar pulled too thick. This is where the plant starts looking less like it is flowering and more like it is preserving itself in resin. ⸻ What you are seeing now: pistils, calyxes, and ripening This is the point where flower development becomes easier to read once you know what is changing. Those bright white hairs (pistils) that dominated earlier flower are beginning to darken, curl, and recede. That is normal. Early on, pistils emerge fresh and white as part of active flower development. Their job is simple: reach outward while the flower builds. Now that the flower is mature, many of those pistils have done their job. So they begin to: * oxidize * darken * curl inward * shift from white to orange, amber, or brown That is not decline. That is ripening. At the same time, the calyxes beneath them begin swelling. This is the part many growers miss. As the pistils age and pull inward, the calyxes underneath begin to enlarge and firm up — becoming fuller, rounder, tighter, and more pronounced. That swelling is where density comes from. It is one of the clearest signs the flower is still building real mass even when fresh white hairs begin slowing down. So while the pistils look older, the flower itself is still maturing. That is exactly what we want. ⸻ And then there are the trichomes This is where the real finish happens. Trichomes are not just “frost.” They are the plant’s chemical armor. These resin glands are where cannabinoids, terpenes, and much of the plant’s aromatic complexity are produced and stored. What looks like sparkle is actually the plant concentrating its chemistry onto the flower surface. And late flower is when that chemistry peaks. Right now they are thickening, clouding, and maturing. This is the stage where clear heads begin turning cloudy, volatile terpene content is peaking, and the plant begins shifting from active production into final ripening. That is why this stage matters so much. This is not just visual maturity. This is chemical maturity. ⸻ Special guest in the garden ? This week’s inspection team also included one highly unqualified but deeply committed assistant. A tiny toy fly has been making rounds through the canopy, checking trichome density, inspecting pistil posture, and offering absolutely no useful advice whatsoever. Morale has improved. Yield projections remain unchanged. The inspection reports were biased, but adorable. We’ll allow it. ⸻ Looking ahead to Week 13 Next week will be about watching the finish tighten. Expect: * more visible fade * stronger senescence expression * slower water uptake * deeper aroma * continued calyx swell * more pistil recession * trichomes pushing further cloudy This is where patience matters most. Not every plant will finish on the same day. Not every top will mature at the same speed. And not every signal arrives all at once. Next week is not about deciding harvest. It is about learning how close harvest is becoming. And that is a very different thing. ⸻ Final thoughts Week 12 is one of those weeks that reminds you why the slow parts matter. The feeding. The restraint. The consistency. The observation. The trust. Now it shows back in the flowers. To everyone following along — the longtime growers, the silent lurkers, the curious beginners, the sharp-eyed critics, the day-ones, the new faces, the supporters, the skeptics, the genetics, the breeders, the platform, and everyone spending even a minute here with this run: Thank you. To those who watch closely, cheer loudly, question honestly, and keep showing up week after week — respect. To the OGs who have been here since the first awkward updates and to the new eyes just arriving now: welcome. And to these plants, for doing what they do best with quiet precision and no ego at all— all love. 📡 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.

They're packing on volume, I have noticed some of the hairs are turning brown and One of them is more of a sativa looking plant, while the other three are indica dominant. One in the back right of the tent has started to show some dark colours on the leaves closer to the buds, looks nice. 😅. Really enjoying growing these wonder woman plants

Woche 5 und der Stretch nach oben beginnt endlich. Die Pflanze ist jetzt 50 cm breit und durch das Topping / Scrogging und dem 4eckigen Terra Aquatica Topf wächst die Pflanze auch quadratisch in das ScrogNetz rein. Höhe 25 cm, ich gebe ihr noch 4 Wochen Vegetation Zeit und stelle dann auf 12/12 um. Sie hat jetzt in 1 Woche fast 10 cm an Höhe gewonnen und trinkt 2 Liter in 3 Tagen. In einem Monat könnte sie 45 cm hoch und 60 cm breit sein. Und zum Schluss eventuell 70 cm hoch und 80 cm. Mein Ziel sind 90g Ertrag..

week 3 of the flowering stage of MD XXL 🙌 1 of the 3 is realy not doing good and is yellowing alot, i dont know why this is, i think its heat stress combined with nutrient deficiency but im not 100% sure. I think shes doing better since i went from 3ml/l alga bloom to 4ml/l and adding 1ml/l green sensation to it. Other 2 MD XXLs are doing just fine, 😉 its still very hot where i live, around 30 degrees celcius every day, global warming all the way... i wonder what my harvest amount will be! For the people in the Grow Questions, i dont check PH/TDS simply because my budget couldnt sustain the equipment, ill get it next grow. Also the alga grow/bloom line from plagron states that you dont need to check PH levels because the algae in the nutrients will regulate it apparently, I also choose NOT to defoliate since i read alot of different stuff about it. I think i just let nature do its way and only remove those bad fans blocking my beautiful buds 👹

We finally arrived at the flowering of the 5 plants. # B3 presents some type of blockage, which is still very early in flowering. Despite the tragic accident with # B5 the buds' formation is going very well she still showed signs of phosphorus deficiency despite using both FloraBloom and Liquid KoolBloom in the next irrigation I will try to leave the PH in 6.4 since as I researched the phosphorus is better absorbed with soil pH between 6.2 and 6.7. The other plants are doing well and do not have the same deficiencies. This week I released the LST and applied defoliation on some leaves to favor the light on the apical buds where buds are forming. Updating with 55 days # B3 already has some white pistils but the buds did not start to form. I begin to think that it is a photoperiod.

Been slack with the updates as we are busy buidling a new greenhouse. will make sure I take nice individual photos for harvest though.
