Co2 order never came in but better late then never I grabbed a bottle of tnb from my local grow shop and let it goto work. This week went great The purple buds are very rewarding 😁 Excited to see what next the week has for my babies

She seems to be bulking up still but aiming to chop her down with the rest then I can use my tent to dry and hopefully improve the taste ✌️🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💚

July 4: topped both plants.

pH was still leaning towards the low side earlier in the week, but by Saturday's watering, pH is within desired range. Indoor AC unit is broken this week (will be replaced by next week) - but have been improvising to perform temperature control inside the tent as much as possible. Daytime light is currently set for overnight, as to mitigate overheating during summer months. During this week while we are improvising, the focus is on keeping the tent temperature as close to 80 degrees F (ideally below, but with outdoor air temps being around 100 daily, this is difficult this week). Using ice buckets and multiple oscillating fans to control the temperature as much as possible. Plants are under some stress from this, but leaves are not wilting and are only slightly discolored on some of the tips, which has improved with Saturday's heavy nutrient feed. Will update next week once AC unit is back and tent conditions are more under control, but thankfully plants seem to be making it through, and should bounce back quickly once conditions are back to normal. Nutrient type was switched to Fox Farm Big Bloom; a heavy feeding was performed on Saturday as the plants were a bit nutrient deficient, but will return to maintenance feedings on next feeding. Tuesday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.41) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 3 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.56) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 4 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.91) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Saturday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.43) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 28.74 in Plant 3 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.27) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 23.23 in Plant 4 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.54) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 27.56 in ***General Hydroponics pH UP solution added. Will hold on next feed to re-assess where pH levels sit, now that they are within desired range.

June 28: rainiest June on record which means this backup seed (about 47 days old) is a bit behind due to weather. She’ll do fine. July 1: Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 Re-did the scrog net. Using a net and clipping it to the bag as needed is definitely the best method to get the early shape you want for a manifold. Starting another compost tea. Have been relying on foliar sprays because there has been so much rain that I haven’t been watering. She’ll like the compost tea. Added Plagron to the mix for first time. July 3: I think I might have topped her a couple days too early as she seems slow to recover. This one might end up as only 8 colas instead of 16.

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

Today was the big day, at exactly 3 weeks old, she got topped. She looks healthy and vital, with good growth, so I figured it's the perfect time. Now she gets a bit of recovery time after the high stress, before we begin the LST.

Cepa un poco compleja pero toda una gozada!

This girl has been one of my favorites. Pineapple express is true to it name looking like a pineapple once it fades the yellow, and the green are very beautiful together smells gassy with pineapple busting out of every tone

12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower. And this week, one Lemon Cherry Gelato came down. Not because the room was finished. Not because the cycle was over. Because sometimes the plant tells you one thing… and the jars tell you another. This wasn’t a full-room harvest. This was a selective cut — one plant, chosen carefully, taken early enough to keep the room moving and late enough to still deliver exactly what medicine is supposed to deliver. And honestly? She earned it. ⸻ 🌱 Why This One Came Down Early The room is still running. The full harvest is still ahead. But one Lemon Cherry Gelato had clearly moved ahead of the pack. Not by weeks. Not dramatically. Just enough. Enough swell. Enough frost. Enough weight. Enough maturity to justify taking one while letting the others continue. That’s one of the advantages of reading plants individually instead of treating a room like a synchronized machine. Not every plant finishes on the same day. Not every expression peaks at the same pace. And not every harvest has to happen all at once. This one came down because she was the most advanced of the room — and because the medicine shelf was starting to look a little too honest. Simple as that. ⸻ Reading Ripeness Properly This is where harvest decisions stop being about calendars and start being about observation. By week count alone, she was close. By structure, she was ready enough. By resin, she was already speaking clearly. The trichomes had begun shifting. Mostly cloudy. A few still clear. A visible touch of amber beginning to appear in select heads. That’s the window. Not “fully amber.” Not “wait until everything turns orange.” Not “harvest because the breeder timeline said so.” The real harvest window begins when clarity fades, cloudiness dominates, and the first signs of amber begin to appear. That’s where she was. Not overripe. Not unfinished. Just entering the first edge of peak maturity. Exactly where many growers prefer to cut for a more balanced effect. ⸻ 🔬 Trichomes: What They Are — And What They Are Not Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not glitter. They are not just visual appeal. And they are not there to make photos look good. Trichomes are resin glands. They are the biochemical factories of the flower — producing and storing cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and the compounds responsible for aroma, potency, and effect. What we’re watching is not sparkle. We’re watching chemistry mature. Clear heads = still developing. Cloudy heads = peak cannabinoid production. Amber heads = oxidation and degradation beginning. That does not mean amber is bad. It means chemistry is changing. More clear = less mature. More cloudy = fuller, louder, more complete. More amber = heavier, softer, often more narcotic. This plant had entered that first balanced transition. Which made her a perfectly reasonable early pull. ⸻ 🎨 Pistils, Fade & False Signals The white hairs had already begun turning. Fresh white pistils were shrinking back. Older hairs had darkened into orange and rust. That matters — but only as supporting evidence. Pistils help tell the story. They do not write the conclusion. Orange hairs alone do not mean harvest. And white hairs alone do not mean immaturity. Pistils can oxidize from age. From touch. From environment. From simple exposure. So yes — orange hairs were there. Yes — the flower had begun to visually mature. But pistils confirmed the direction. Trichomes made the decision. Color supports. Resin decides. ⸻ ️ The Cut And she was no lightweight. Big frame. Thick branching. Dense internals. Heavy tops. A trunk that did not come down politely. This was one of those plants you feel immediately when the scissors hit the stem. Tough wood. Strong vascular structure. Real weight in the hands. The kind of plant that reminds you very quickly that yield starts in structure long before it ends in flower. By the time she hit the studio, she already looked like what she had become: A full, heavy, mature plant with serious density, strong resin production, and enough mass to justify taking her early without regret. ⸻ 📸 Studio Work & Breakdown Instead of hanging the full plant intact, we took her to the studio and broke her down properly. Document first. Harvest second. Full plant shots. Top structure. Side profile. Bud architecture. Stem thickness. Trichome detail. Then the cut. Rather than dry her whole, she was broken down branch by branch and flower by flower, then transferred into the drying rack. That choice was simple and practical. A full-plant hang is beautiful. But a controlled rack dry gives better space efficiency, faster organization, and easier handling when the goal is immediate personal medicine. So this one was processed clean, sectioned carefully, and laid to dry in the rack inside the drying tent with steady air exchange and indirect circulation. No air blowing directly on flowers. No aggressive drying. No rushing the final stage. Just controlled moisture loss, clean airflow, and patience. Now she dries. ⸻ 🍋 Lemon Cherry Gelato, Week 12 from Seed And she delivered. Dense flowers. Heavy resin. Strong structure. Excellent frost. Real weight. Real presence. Could she have gone another week? Probably. Two? Possibly. Would she have gained more? Maybe. But that does not make this cut wrong. It makes it intentional. And intentional harvests are rarely mistakes. ⸻ 📘 Quick Recap — How We Got Here 12/12 from seed. No wasted veg. No unnecessary recovery. No overcomplication. A stable environment. Consistent feeding. Strong genetics. Controlled structure. Patience where it mattered. Intervention only when useful. She got here the same way most good plants do: Not through force. Through consistency. Week by week, she stacked. Flower by flower, she built. And by Week 12 from seed, she gave enough to justify the blade. ⸻ ⏭️ What Comes Next This diary continues. And that matters. GrowDiaries does not handle staggered harvests especially well, which means this is not marked as “harvest week” yet — because the full run is still active, and the second Lemon Cherry Gelato is still standing. So the final harvest report comes later. This is the first cut, not the final chapter. The second Lemon Cherry Gelato remains in the room and keeps pushing. She is not ready yet. She is close. But not yet. She’ll get a few more days. Nutrition will be cut completely next week. Then we let her finish the story in her own time. Same week. Same diary. Different finish line. And that’s the reality of growing plants instead of timelines. ⸻ 🤝 Thank You To the long-time followers. To the new ones. To the quiet readers. To the loud supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers.

To the genetics. To everyone watching the process for what it is. Thank you. Not every plant is perfect. Not every harvest is textbook. Not every decision is made by the calendar. But every real run teaches something. And this one already has.📡 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.

Day 39 of flowering plant on the left seems to have a little bigger buds also the tips of the leaves are burnt on that plant both plants are starting to turn purple plant on the right looks like it may be done around week 8 I think the one on the left may need another week

Girls are coming along well transplanted set 1&2... seem to be loving it....we getting there

Hello growers day 28 with the blue monster again not been a bad week accept the bloody wind 💨 my poor babies are taking a bashing I keep telling them it’s going to be ok but the wind won’t fuck off fucking uk growing outside is a bitch still she seems to be doing well so until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

the plant looks great

Not giving her much water these days; today’s may have been here last. I think one more week, maybe two?

MAY 20TH - TODAY is the first day the plants wake up from their 18/6 cycle down from 2 weeks at 20/4. They got their first SCHWAZZE and shaping at this stage getting them ready to grow into the beautiful sea of green each of these beds are to become. The uniformity of the clones reminds me how much of this has become muscle memory to me, From doing thousands of plants per grow this has become second nature for me. The ladies are 100% organic at this point and our feed I am considering releasing it for anybody who is interested as a way to fund raise at the same time ! If anybody is interested in the recipe let me know in the comments, If we get enough interest I will put up a site that will constantly update with each weekly feed & steps done on the plants. ANNOUNCEMENT : ** It has taken me 20 re trys & double the amount of ERROR codes to get this update LIVE. I will be staying on this website until the end of this grow year, Then I will be setting up a Patreon & migrating over to Patreon and Twitter ( X ) I am completely done with GROW DIARIES.** SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS !!! PROMO CODE GREEN PLANET : LEGACY PROMO CODE MARS HYDRO : LEGACY PROMO CODE SEEDSMAN : LEGACY10 MAY 22ND 2024 - SCHWAZZE COMPLETED YESTERDAY. These photos where taken DIRECTLY after their SCHWAZZE. NOW 2-3 WEEKS of 18/6 then another SCHWAZZE, Top DRESSING of Mineralized Phosphate, Power Bloom and Glacial Rock Dust and swap to 14/10. We will be using 14/10 for 3 weeks then going to 12/12 to flower these beauties out. MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW OUR SOCIALS & JOIN OUR GREAT COMMUNITIES !
