She’s still building I think and her trichomes are currently mostly white (~75%) with 25% clear and still 0% amber. When do you think I should start fading?

Pre flower formed, starting to smell a bit more than the last week, keeping grooowing 💚

Und weiter gehts. Hat ein paar Blattläuse. Habe den Ventilator umgestellt und noch einen bestellt! Blattläuse bãh. Da. Blattlåuse, ich machs euch unbequem... 😛 Ok, nur noch 2 Ventilatoren. Fragt nicht. Ich sage nur Mitbewohnerin. War ja eh ihrs. SEUFZ Ok neuer Monkey fan und der alte. Zusammen bringen die was. Keine Blattläuse zu sehen, nach 4 tagen Wind. Yes! Am 001.009.021 ist sie seit 5 Wochen in der Blüte. HALBZEIT. Und weil ich ja DER CHAOSGROWER!! schlechthin bin. Wird mein geliebtes Pflänzchen in ca 4 Wochen für eine Woche ausziehen. Grund ist ne völlig ausser rand und band geratene andere photo period Pflanze, die sich da irgendwie reingeschlichen hat. Und die muss! Mit aktiv Kohle filter Trocknen . Deswegen gibts n kleines technikupgrade, denn das ausweich quartier braucht ja auch Licht. Too optimistic. Aphids re still there. But I think they re getting fewer. ..

WEEK 4 (DAY 22-28) The plants are growing good. They are receiving plenty of light as they share a tent with older plants. Therefore, I always try to place them in areas with less light intensity. The mainfolding has been handled quite well, and both plants are now growing two strong and evenly balanced shoots each.

Week 13 from seed. Week 9 of flower. And this one matters. Not because everything changed overnight — but because this is where the run starts showing its final intentions. One plant came down, one plant keeps going, and both are teaching something different. This week marks the point where observation becomes more important than intervention. The work is mostly done now. What happens here is less about pushing, and more about reading. Watching. Letting the plant finish saying what it has to say. From seed to now, this run has stayed simple on purpose. 12/12 from seed, steady environment, minimal overcorrection, and a consistent approach from start to finish. No chasing numbers, no dramatic swings, no last-minute magic tricks. Just stable inputs, careful observation, and letting the cultivar express itself without interruption. And that is exactly what this week reflects. One of the two plants was harvested this week — not because she was clearly ahead, and not because the other was behind, but because this stage offers a rare opportunity to compare expression across harvest timing. Same cultivar, same room, same feed, same environment — slightly different finish line. That is useful information, especially when the goal is not just yield, but understanding the medicine at different stages of maturity. This is less about “ready” and more about reference. One plant comes down now to show what this cultivar offers at this point in ripeness. The second stays standing to show what another few days may add, remove, or transform. That kind of side-by-side tells more than any chart ever will. The room itself remains unchanged and stable. Conditions are still exactly where they have been: controlled, calm, and predictable. No changes to the environment, no major changes to irrigation, and no attempt to force a finish. At this stage, consistency is the strategy. Feeding is now reduced to enzymes only. No base nutrients, no boosters, no extras — just enzymes and water. At this point, the plant is no longer building aggressively. She is finishing. Enzyme-only irrigation helps break down residual organic matter in the substrate, keeps the root zone active and clean, and allows the plant to continue consuming what it has already stored internally. This is not about “flushing” in the old dramatic sense. It is simply about removing excess input and allowing the plant to finish on what it already carries. And she is using it beautifully. This is where the fade begins to tell the truth. The shifting leaf color isn’t decline — it is redistribution. Nitrogen is being pulled, chlorophyll is breaking down, stored resources are moving, and the plant is redirecting what remains into final reproductive output. That is why the greens soften. That is why purples begin to appear. That is why red tones start surfacing through senescence and cooler expression. This is the plant using herself completely. And visually, she is doing it with style. There is color now in every direction — softened greens, faded lime, muted reds, touches of purple, and that late-flower pale glow that only shows up when a plant is actually finishing instead of just aging. The flowers are dense, compact, and fully formed. Resin is heavy. Structure is holding. Light still catches everything. The room is shining. Both plants are carrying weight well. Dense tops, compact flowers, strong stacking, and resin coverage from crown to lower sites. No loose finish, no empty tops, no weak lower structure. Even now, late into flower, she still looks composed. The harvested plant came down thick. Big structure, strong frame, dense flower, and stems with enough development to show those hollow internal channels that often appear in vigorous, well-fed, fast-moving growth. Frost coverage is heavy, texture is compact, and she carried herself like a proper finisher from top to bottom. She is now drying in a rack rather than hanging whole — not as a stylistic choice, just a practical one. Space dictates workflow sometimes, and good growing means adapting without romanticizing process. Same plant, same finish, different drying logistics. The important part is controlled handling from here. And during harvest, she gave a little extra. Fresh finger resin from harvest always deserves its own note. What collects on the fingers during live harvest is not the same material as what comes later during dry trim. Similar in origin, different in state. Fresh harvest resin is live expression — warm, volatile, aromatic, soft, and immediate. It is closer in spirit to charas in the traditional sense: resin gathered from living plant material by direct contact, long before modern processing tried to standardize everything. That matters, because what is collected in that moment still carries a different volatile profile than what comes later from dry trim. Dry trim finger hash is still resin. Fresh harvest finger resin is living resin. They are related, but they are not the same conversation. And for people who have never paid attention to that difference, this is one of those details worth learning once and never forgetting. The second plant remains standing, and she is still earning her place. Still dense. Still shining. Still building. Not dramatically, not explosively — just quietly continuing. And that is the point now. Late flower is no longer about visible daily change. It is about subtle shifts. Trichome maturity. Water behavior. Leaf surrender. Aroma transition. Hidden risk. Final swelling. This is where “not doing much” becomes one of the most active parts of the entire cycle. Because this is the stage where small mistakes matter most. Now is when you watch for ripeness. Now is when you watch for overstay. Now is when you watch for mold that never comes. Now is when you watch for trichomes instead of pistils. Now is when restraint becomes part of the skillset. She may come down next week. She may ask for a little more. That decision will not be made by calendar — it will be made by what the plant says next. And that is where we leave her. One harvested. One still speaking. Both worth listening to. Big love to everyone following this run — old heads, new eyes, silent watchers, loud supporters, curious growers, skeptics, believers, and everyone who gave this diary even a second of attention. To the GrowDiaries platform. To the community. To the people who watch closely. To the ones who question everything. To the ones who just came for pretty flowers and stayed for the process. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the feed. To the gear keeping the room steady. To the people behind the brands. To the growers behind the screens. And to both plants for doing exactly what they were supposed to do. Week 13. Week 9 flower. One down. One still glowing. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Week 10 ...6 week off flower..looking good smelling good first gro ..the organic way ....

If I didn't have the pictures from each week, I'd have a hard time believing they are growing so fast! Pistils have formed on almost all the plants, with Gelat.OG being the furthest along.

April 19, 2024 Day 64 We are coming up on the 10 week mark soon enough. I'm expecting both of these ladies to start swelling buds any day. So another 2 weeks before harvest. Probably 3 to 4 more weeks. Tropicana Cookies is actually 31" tall while Tropicana C is 28" tall. However, due to the highest points being so tall, I have those tops as far on the outside of the light footprint as I can. I managed to get the DLI down to 50 mol/m²/d for each plant. While the rest of the canopy is happily at 45 mol/m²/d. No watering today. Maybe tomorrow. The water intake has increased a bit over the past couple of days, so I may be topping off tomorrow or early morning the day after. I'm also getting some nutrient burn from what I believe is the Overdrive. I have it at full dose and honestly think it's too much. So I'm cutting it in half as well as Bud Candy. That's also at full dose and I don't think it's needed. So cutting that in half as well. The light will be staying the same for the next 2 weeks now that the plants have hit their final height. I'm guessing that's how much longer it will be before flushing. I'll drop the light power at the same time as flush. The flush should be about a week. The environment is giving me a hard time today. The temp is high at 78° with the humidity high as well at 56%. Not really sure what's causing it, but I'll turn my damn AC on if I have to. Anyway, I'm still having trouble keeping it at 50% humidity, so getting to 45% seems unrealistic. So I'll work with 50% and just make sure to check for any signs of mold or anything. I don't think I'll get anything like that, but you never know. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 53.3% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 20, 2024 Happy 420!!! Not much going on today with these 2. They will both need watering tomorrow. So they are finally at a half gallon a day. The 2 other plants in the tent are also at a half gallon a day, but they are on the opposite schedule. It works for me. Gives me something to do everyday, but not sitting there for a half hour mixing nutrients. (I use 1 gallon jugs for each plant) Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are starting to swell and stack. They are just about ready to start swelling up. I can tell they will be super tight as well. There are a couple places where the pistils are orange and shriveled up. The bud is super dense. However, that could be seeds. I'm not too sure at this point. It's a high possibility. Tropicana C also has a couple tops with the same type of super dense buds. Again, these two are identical in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same top doing the same thing. Anyway, looking super good. Buds from top to bottom. They aren't big and fat yet, but there still a good 2 to 3 weeks left. Hopefully less though. I have 4 more plants I have to start today for a contest. Unfortunately those plants will be stuck ina. 2x2 until these ones are out of the tent. The lighting hasn't changed whatsoever and won't for the next 2 weeks. The environment is looking great now. It's steadily climbing up from 68° last night and is at about 75° now and will definitely be at 76° in about an hour. The humidity is great at 51%. As I said yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to drop it down any further. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 52.3% VPD: 1.30 kPa April 21, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got watered today. Not much else going on though. Tropicana Cookies was nearly dry, but not quite. Unfortunately, Tropicana C was bone dry. I don't like it getting dry. The wick system gets messed up. But it did give me a chance to quickly wipe down the basin. Both plants have nutrient burn from what I assume was the dose of Overdrive. So today I left it out. Just to allow the nutrients to even out. Next watering I'll be doing 4 ml of it. I also dropped the Bud Candy down to 4 ml. Just Incase it was partly that as well. The lighting was, of course, not changed at all. The power will be dropped in the next week or so. This strain should have a 6 week flowering stage. 45 days is the estimate. So there's about 3 weeks left. Much longer than I was expecting. Honestly it's from the 5 week veg period. I find it strange that I didn't get any massive plants in 5 weeks. At the end of the grow, we will be hitting just under 12 weeks. No clue why I can't get my plants to grow at the suggested time frame. The earliest I have ever harvested was 11 weeks. Or maybe 12. Strange. I'll have to figure that out. The environment is looking good today. The temp is leveled out at 75° and the humidity is happily at 49%. The VPD is a little low at 1.39 kPa, but it will fix soon enough. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 49.7% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 22, 2024 Definitely nothing going on today. Tropicana C had a couple leaves popped off today. Just a couple that were covering some bud sites and encroaching on other tops. Tropicana Cookies looks great! I will say her buds aren't fat like I was expecting. They seem more like sativa buds. It's strange. They are thin and small and look super airy. I'm not sure if this is the deal, but both plants look like this. Only time will tell. Tropicana C also looks quite good, with the same bud swelling issues, but we shall see as I said. She got 2 leaves removed. They were being crushed by the wall and in turn were overcrowding other bud sites. The lighting is staying the same of course. I believe an a week or 2, I'll have to drop the intensity. The environment is once again looking great! 75° and 50% humidity. The overnight temp is still at 68°. I'd much rather it be at 66°. Maybe I'll cool my room off earlier in the evening to allow the tent to cool faster at night, so the temp drops to the average of 66°. I'll start that next week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 49.2% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 23, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily inspection. What I've discovered has me a bit confused. Both plants have tons of orange pistils with some being so shriveled up you can't see them. Those buds are super tight, but I have a feeling those couple tops like that are seeded. I'll find out soon enough. Honestly, I can't tell. Don't really know what I'm looking for. The problem I'm confused about is the size of the buds. They're tiny, wispy and look underdeveloped. Maybe they are. Who knows. Maybe this strain gets early orange pistils. We shall see. I hope they swell up. Like a lot. As it stands now, it looks like an oz of smalls. Which of course is unacceptable. However, both plants are doing it, so it has to be the strain. Something I probably shouldn't be all that concerned with. I'm leaving the light where it is for the next week or so. With the pistils already turning orange, I'm thinking I should prepare for the final stage of flower. I would expect it to be done in the next 2 to 3 weeks, but it may be less time. Anyway, I'll see what they are doing next week and work from there. The environment is actually looking really good. I managed to get the temp up significantly earlier today by cranking my heat to 88°. It brought the tent temp up to 78° and the humidity just below 50%. Looking good. Now all I have to do is drop the temp a little bit to get to that perfect 75°. Also, my dehumidifier wasn't on. I must of have it off from the other day. So I should see lower humidity by the end of the day. Especially after I adjust the temp. Looking good. Update: I've been thinking about how the buds are so small. I wonder if I took the Big Bud out too early and added the overdrive too soon. I can't go back to Big Bud, but that could be the cause. Still, another 2 to 3 weeks left. So we shall see. But an interesting thought. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 49.0% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 24, 2024 Both ladies got a reservoir refill today. Tropicana C was dried out. So I need to keep a better eye on the water levels. Tropicana Cookies wasn't dried out yet though, very close but not yet. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are finally starting to swell and if there's another 2 weeks, I can expect them to get huge. We shall see. Tropicana C has the same boost in bud production and has swelling buds now. Everything else looks good with her. Speaking of swelling buds and production, both ladies are completely covered in trichomes. Not quite "frosty" yet, but getting there. I'll start with trichome pics next week. That way we have some good specimens to work with. On another note, the aroma these two are putting off is intense now. I'll have to change the smell setting to STRONG next week. It's a sickly sweet smell, but crispy. Not too heavy, but definitely has a gassy undertone. Very nice. I won't be moving the light at all for the rest of the grow. However, I may drop the power down to 80% next week and bring the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d. But maybe not. I'm waiting for the flushing period. I'm not sure when that will be. Maybe 2 weeks? I can't tell with this strain. So many orange pistils and she looks like she is nearly done, but definitely not. They still have a good two weeks left. We shall see. The environment is a bit off today. It's raining, so the humidity is hanging out around 52%. The temp is fine at around 75° to 76°. I'm not too worried about the environment today. Just thought I would note the difference. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 50.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 25, 2024 So today is the last day of week 9 and also going into the first day of late flower. Things will most likely be changing up in the next week. Nutrients, lighting and environment. Not much to do today. No watering needed and no maintenance. I checked out both plants and as I was saying yesterday, the trichomes are looking great and will start getting pics starting tomorrow. Everything looks good for both ladies. The lighting of course wasn't messed with today. That will be changing at some point next week. The environment is shaping up to be great for the start of late flower. I got the temp down to 65° last night and the humidity down to 48°. Today I have had it around 76° with the humidity around 49%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 49.3% VPD: 1.43 kPa

:)

I'm going to try an 1hour/day of UV light. I want to know if it will increase the weight, increase the trichomes, is it true?

Week 10, the second week of flowering, has been a wild ride in our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run. Our girl is on fire! Talk about growth – she's become a bona fide giant, standing tall and proud. The canopy's like a green sea, and I'm thinking she might outgrow the room soon! I might have to sneak in for that defoliation before day 21 – let's see how ninja-fearless I can be! And guess what? Her fruits are stepping into the limelight, and they're like little works of art in the making. They're shaping up beautifully and in promising numbers. It's like she's a fruity ninja master! Now, let's talk numbers: Starting the week at a TDS of 300 and a pH of 6.1, things were looking balanced. But she surprised me with her super hydration skills – guzzling down 6 liters a day! So, as her thirst grew, I decided to amp up her food to 420 ppm. Yeah, the numbers asked for a little humor, didn't they? And let's give it up for my ninja buddies! They're on ninja-duty, keeping a vigilant watch over everything. The pH's sitting pretty at 6.2, ensuring the perfect conditions for our Tangie to thrive. And here's something enchanting: Our Tangie's always in prayer mode. Those upward-reaching leaves are like a constant reminder of her strength and the wonder of nature. Stay tuned for more thrilling ninja updates! Remember, every leaf, every prayer, and every growth spurt is a testament to the incredible journey we're on. Keep cultivating with love and passion, you leafy warriors! As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove

Blueberry Lime Kush AD

This week I'm going to talk a little bit about the 2 gal pots I leave outdoors. Since they're going to be indoors now, I've assembled a fertilizer rack and the bottom compartment is perfect for a cage with all the plants I have. With a length of 1.5m, width 65cm and height of 1m, I will use 4 led bulbs 50w and 2 full spectrum LEDs 36w long 1.2m. 272w / ~ 1m2. 2/3:Plant the plants indoors and lst them. 4 led bulb 50w 5/3:Run off all the trees, as it was soaked with rain water when left outside. is still the old nutritional dose. 6/3: Today I received the led light I ordered. I perfect my design and let the tree in the cage out and lst. 9/3:I feel everything is perfect today, I reduce their lighting time to 12/12. I will cut off all the fan leaves from the stem of the 2gal pots and prune all the small branches of the 1gal pot. in this pruning I will trim them as much as possible. It's been 37 days since the seed and I think they're ready for flowering. I need to flower them urgently because in the next 2 months the weather can be as hot as 40 degrees, and I really have no way to reduce their temperature. I would probably have them flower for 7 to 8 weeks to retain maximum resin. a few days before high, I fliming an NL plant, I experimented with this technique and I feel that they have been very successful since the fliming plants have a much larger stump than other plants. I really like this technique, as it will save me the small space I currently have without having toppings. With just a few simple steps I have got a really big stump and still keep the biggest main bud of the tree. I hope each plant can give me 20-25 grams of dried marijuana.

Overall I enjoyed this grow and learned a lot about living soil. Going for a slow dry, trim, then at least a one month cure. Hopefully another six days and I’ll update with a dry yield. My next batch is already cooking but with 5 gallon pots. 03/25 - Day 7 Drying B & C are done drying and have been in jars for a day now with RH ~60%. Total 3oz from B & C. Total 1.5oz from A & D

Nutrients started. Hot weathers here for me and having some water temperature problems. Frozen water bottles do some nice job.

Fastbuds Week 4 Original OG Kush Auto The 3 of these are staying on the shorter/bushier side. All in all showing amazing growth, good node spacing, and a nice rich shade of green while showing no issue of nute burn. I've given only water up to this point so around week 4 I like to give them a good feeding of a molasses tea (1tsp of molasses/per gallon of water) is what I do and they seem to enjoy it. Until next week Happy Growing.

Here comes the first Preflower Update

Everything looking very nice now, can’t wait 😛

Plants are growing good. I accidentally broke the tip off of the Norther light plant. Ahh 😱
