Tannin Trail Swag

She is a monster almost 90cm high and covered in buds

It's working fine.

Need to step up my lighting game x2

Update with pics of the end product will follow.

I gave this beautiful girl a topping, defoliation and a trim, she is feeling great

12.1. - I've started the week by adding the wires I mentioned, to spread the branches. I can already see some signs of preflower stage, so I guess it was right choice to stop bending the main stems. Let's see how will the plants react. 14.1. - Plants have reacted very well to the LST, so I've decided to add some more wires to the branches. Also had to tighten the ones already in place. 15.1. - Branches are shooting up, first preflower signs are clearly visible so I'm adding Bio Bloom & Top Max to the mix as well. Watered. 💧 17.1. - Almost all of the plants took over the full width of my pots. I have to adjust the wires everyday due to speed and strength of the branches. Seems like they really love LST. Watered. 💧 18.1. - Week wrap-up: I'm very happy to say that this week was successful. Plants have a lot of new growth and future bud sites. Today, I just couldn't resist and decided to bend the main stem to even all plants to same height. I've also swapped the plastic boxes under pots for new racks. I'm considering that I'll plant one more seed as I have some free space now, however I could use bigger LED. 💡 12.1. - 18.1.2024

Ladies Drying

Swolling like crazy

We had a mega load of rain over the last few days and sadly I lost a huge NYD to stem rot. Anyways I new February in Durban was going to be a challenge. The soil doesn't drain very well where I live and unfortunately it just got too wet for too long. All the other plants are looking healthy and I did do treatments around their crowns with some peroxide followed by fungicide (organic oils). The haze x cheese is looking epic this week, buds are getting really big. Spotted some PM on some lower branches so I cleared out some undergrowth and have been pulling the odd leaves I see. Nothing too bad. Humidity has been 100% at points. Getting awesome hints of limone as I walk through the garden. Can't wait!

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto — Week 11 From Seed (Week 7 Flower) Quick Recap — How We Got Here From day one, this run followed a simple principle: let the plant express itself. 12/12 from seed, no forcing, no chasing—just creating a stable environment and letting the plant grow into the light rather than adapting the light to the plant. Temperatures steady at 26°C, humidity around 60%, CO₂ at ~1000 ppm, and consistent feeding without overcomplication. No aggressive training, no unnecessary intervention—just guidance, not control. And now… we’re here. ⸻ 🌿 What You’re Seeing Now (And What It Actually Means) At first glance, it looks like “not much is happening.” But this is one of the most active internal phases of the plant’s life. 🌸 Bud Development — From Size to Density The buds are no longer just stacking—they’re hardening. * Calyxes are swelling * Structure is tightening * Weight is increasing This is the transition from visual growth → mass accumulation ⸻ ✨ Trichome Production — The Real Work This is where the plant shifts focus into resin and terpene production. * Trichomes are multiplying and becoming more pronounced * Resin heads are filling * Aromatics are developing deeper complexity What people see as “frost” is actually the plant investing in its final defense and reproduction strategy. ⸻ 🌱 The Invisible Half — Roots & Balance You said it perfectly. Plants live in two worlds: * Phototropism → growth toward light (above ground) * Gravitropism (Geotropism) → growth with gravity (roots going down) What we see above is only possible because below the surface, the roots already did the work. This stage is the result, not the effort. ⸻ 👀 The Grower’s Role Right Now This is where experience shows. You’re not “doing nothing.” You’re doing one of the hardest things: → Not interfering when everything is working. What matters now: * Daily observation * Hand watering (keeping that connection with each plant) * Watching micro-changes * Maintaining environment stability Because right now, mistakes don’t come from action… they come from unnecessary action. ⸻ ⚠️ Risk Management — The Silent Battle Dense flowers + stable humidity = potential risk zone. So this phase becomes about prevention, not reaction: * Airflow through the canopy * Avoiding moisture pockets * Monitoring for early signs of: * Mold * Mildew * Bud rot So far—clean run. That’s not luck. That’s attention. ⸻ 🌿 Philosophy — “Doing Nothing Is Doing Everything” This is one of those weeks that teaches patience. Anyone can feed. Anyone can adjust lights. But not everyone can observe without interfering. This is where growing becomes less about technique… and more about trust. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next (Week 8 Flower) * Continued bud swelling * Increased density and weight * Trichomes becoming more cloudy * Aromas intensifying You’ll begin approaching the window where decisions matter: * When to push * When to hold * When to finish ⸻ 🤝 Shoutout & Gratitude From grower to growers: To everyone following the journey— the OGs, the new eyes, the silent watchers, the loud supporters, even the skeptics… To the community on GrowDiaries and beyond. To the genetics behind this expression. To the environment that allowed it. To the process itself. And to every single person putting time into their craft, whether anyone sees it or not. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thought People celebrate the flower. But the flower is just the evidence. The real work… was always underground. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Start of week 8 every thing looks good

Week 2 in the books here and all is still Lookn good. Should be coming up on fim day pretty soon so that we can better manage plant heights through the stretch. Don’t expect to take much more than another week or so before we make the flip to flower. The Ghost Train clone is still fighting for roots so we’ll likely wait and see based on this cut. As soon as she starts to perk up we’ll move em over. Alls well so far👍. Background I’m killing a few birds with one cycle here. Got some famed breeder strains to show off - genetics that we just haven’t gotten around to growing successfully. Details as follows; Outlaw Seeds - Muffin Berry Why these guys aren’t listed on GD is surprising to me. All the hallmarks of a budding quality breeder from what he read although, I admit, this is our first go in real time. Just another addition to the berry strains as we continue our everlasting quest to find that “best berry” of them all.👍 AMS - Pineapple Express Great co. And I’ve got a full stable of their genetics kicking off this year. This strain has been a massive unicorn for us in the past and I still have yet to see one flower out to the finish proper. Can’t wait to see what this one does. The reviews have been terrific so 🤞. OSS - Banana Sherbet A kick in freebie that came with 2 other strains by OSS. Proven and reliable breeder with excellent hybrid combos. I expect this banana sherbet to be no different and early signs are that she’ll be one of the strongest👌. AMS - Ghost Train (clone) Another unicorn that we’ve had issues with. Our outdoor plant that was supposed to be an auto and turned out to be a photo. Unlikely with the typical fall weather that she’ll see harvest so this is an opportunity to take a cut and possibly salvage that grow. Really looking forward to this one for sure. They’ll all sit in bucket company bags and containers and we’ll be irrigating on drip lines with fewer plants than usual in this space. Hopefully we don’t run into any deficiency issues given that these buckets are a slight detraction from our typical dutchies. Only time will tell, here we go again👍🤞.

This Is the last nutrient feeding the only water i added a video Just For you guys my growbros/sis and those haters that Say im a fake profile 😂🤣 Make Love Not War cannabis brings people together dont forget that

Week 2 - The Plants Are Loving Their Environment. I Think The Coco Soil Have The Gorilla Glu & Stardawg Thinking They’re Coconut Trees. Lol I’m Experimenting Trying To Create My Own Foliation Spray And Nutrient Additive To Go With A Base Nutrient And It Seems To Be Working. Overall The Girls Are Happy & Healthy And I’m Very Satisfied With Week 2. #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

I am very happy with the way this plant is growing she is a right monster lots of nice bud sites ✌️ Out Growmes 🙏👍

Day 15 things are moving along just fine light intensity still set at 30 percent and raised to the ceiling.The seedling did not make it so replacing with another strain as I would like to have 6 plants in this grow.Not watering much as I’ve kept humidity high and the girls are not drinking much.Day 20 I did some LST on two of the Runtz that are a bit stronger and taller than the rest
