Buds keep growing! However, the two Mandarin Punch (Auto) buds grow slower than the two photoperiod plants. Watering as usual, see report in the pictures for more info. The tips of the leaves continue to slowly getting brown so I increased the dosage of the Biobloom. I'm now adding nutrient as advised by the datasheet compared to past weeks where the dosage was reduced. Let's see if it helps. I continued to remove some leaves here and there. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 120cm (+0) O.G. Kush : 81cm (+6) Mandarin Punch #1 : 142cm (+2) Mandarin Punch #2 : 123cm (+0) I think the plants have reach their final heights :)

Crescendo tudo por aqui!tive que fazer uma super crop para caber aqui!!semana que vem tem mais!

Okey estoy pensando ya en pasar a la maceta definitiva dado que noto que la planta empieza a necesitar mas espacio, tengo planeado tambien hacer una poda apical

04/09/2018 switched to 660 watt light. Gave the girls a last feeding. Planning to flush them and shorten their light time.

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.

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.

Hoping these do well all my seedlings went downhill fast Took 15 clones today at 6:30 am 🕰️ Best Time to Start Your Cloning & Defoliation Ritual 🌄 Ideal Window: Start between 6:30 AM and 10:30 AM ET This time aligns with: • Pisces Moon energy still strong • Cooler temps and higher plant hydration (better clone success) • Rising sun = energetic ascension (matches your “ascending leaf” flow) • Moon still waning = perfect for rooting

Ok all going great. As you can see in video I have setup a auto drip feed system to feed twice a day for 5 mins. Also done a heavy defoliation this week and removed the lower branches. Be safe all and happy growing.

Yes I my peoples cheers and love Here we flush them to a future crop

NL#5xMalawi x Unknown F1 Test Run 7th January 2021 She's really starting to fill out now Folks 😀 I topped all the nodes once again and tied the branches that had grown longer down again. We have some Extreme Summer conditions starting here from Tomorrow , Temps could reach 50 degrees celcius during the day. So I will be getting up each morning at 4 am to water everything in my garden before walking my new puppy and closing the house off to the light and heat for the day. Thanks once again for stopping by to check out my diary update 👍

19 May 2021 My Blue Ox baby is looking good! She is growing and her leaves are looking better. I defoliated the few old sickly leaves that were cut when she was cloned and she seems better for it. I fed her half a gallon of chilled 50 degree water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and didn’t require adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. She still had plenty of runoff, and the pH was 5.79, and TDS runoff was 2615 ppm. The tent temp was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. I’m pleased with her progress so far, except her branches are still a little too short to start any LST. She’ll get there.... eventually. 21 May 2021 The Blue Ox is thriving! Her leaves look good, and her stalk is starting to fatten up and fortify itself for later growth. She and her tent mate are soon going to outgrow their current home. I’m still on the same feeding chart, so here’s what was given: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml. My pH monitor stopped working, so I used history as my guide. Detailed record keeping wins again! The solution has historically been right on 6.5, and doesn’t need adjustment. The TDS meter was 842 ppm. Runoff was what was expected, and the TDS there was 2588 ppm. I chilled the water to 53.3 degrees F. The tent temp was 78.5 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. I’m still only feeding half a gallon. 23 May 2021 My Blue Ox is starting to grow like an ox! She and her tent mate are going to out grow their home sooner than I can get them into a larger one. I want to go ahead and flip her, but I don’t think my veg tent can take 2 flowering plants. I’ll figure it out. I’m keeping the nutrients at the same stage till I think she needs more. My pH meter is officially dead, but luckily my records are doing me well. I fed a half gallon of chilled (51 degrees F) water with CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and runoff TDS was 2841 ppm. The tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of the second week of this diary (6th week of growth), and I’m planning on switching to the flowering stage tomorrow to start off the 7th week. My Blue Ox is getting big, and I don’t want to veg anymore! I will not make the same error twice! I let my 1st plant veg for 10 weeks from seed, and it’s a BEAST! It takes up a whole 48 x 48 x 80 inch tent all by itself!! Never again. So today I fed half gallon of chilled water (46.6 degrees F) with CALiMAGic increased to 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The pH was 6.6 and didn’t need adjusting. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff for pH was 5.6, and TDS was 2701 ppm. Tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. I plan to defoliate a lot very soon to prepare for fresh buds to grow. She’ll have to flower in the small tent for 3 weeks then I’ll move them to the bigger tent so they have room to grow.

Nothing to report. Plants are getting bigger each day. All nutrient, air, water and temp levels are optimal

As I have already written, clean the lenses and keep the lighting department efficient, and you will have excellent yields ... The plant was a bit long but the sativa component gave the direction the peaks were a bit like popcorn due to the error described above ... dirty lenses. it's not a plant that sucks fertilizers ... he likes them but don't overdo it

Growing for FastBuds420 has truly been an honor their genetics are truly Best in the world in my book strange our name beautifully mimicking the smells and appearances of their names. Pineapple express is one . They nailed the name right on the head. This plant truly smells just like a pineapple and almost looks like a pineapple once the fade starts one of the biggest autos I’ve ever grown truly thankful for the opportunity to grow this plant FastBuds420. 4 Life 🌿💨💯

Week 4 starts Sunday July 17, 2022 Plants seem really nice and healthy. I really like Flora Nova, its a great product. 300ppm and the plants love it, even though the Gaia Green is in the mix, it seems to just love this combo, ever since I repotted with the amendments in the soil, and watered with Flora Nova Bloom (mix it crazy well before using) the plants just look really happy and green. It's not an organic product, maybe like 30% organic -- just like me haha. I think by week's end we will be caught up and ready to intensify lights, threw the SF1000 in the tent finally for more light, but so far just keeping only the Phlizon white light full spectrum COBs on and the RB lights off, and not using the SF-1000 at all even though its mostly white. Despite what Phlizon says, the COBs are great during veg, the RB not so much. I like the COBs so much better than the smaller LEDs for veg. July 19, 2022 Turned on the SF-1000 to 60% and measured light, I'm happy with it. I have another strain growing next to these and the extra light will help during flower as a side light but it will most likely hit the canopy too. The growth is vigorous right now. Added pics, today is day 28 since they were dropped into water July 23, 2022 Tomorrow starts week 5, growth is super green, no funky yellow or leaf drama. Stalks are getting much thicker and stronger. Turned the lights up this week, added the 2nd COB, and temps are just fine! Who knew. Anyway, they look like they are very close to pre-flower. Added some tent mates for a future grow, check out the grow area vid. Maybe I forgot to mention added worm castings this week...

End of week one of germination . Currently setting up veg tent and still tinkering with set up . Germinated in pre soaked rock wool cubes with rooting stims and a 1ml of m g b and then cover with a bit of light mix and just using cal mag water watered over the top when required , when they start to take off I’ll use a mix with rooting Stims Again to get theM working with the autopot system Pizza , luv & Techno ;)
