Hello guys! So it’s the end of week 2 of flowering and all is going well. Been watering every 2 days and, as you can see, we have white pistils and small buds in every plant Not much to say, the ladys are green, stretching and growing buds as it should Yesterday i’ve defoliated one of the critical + 2.0 clone and next week I’m going to defoliate the rest of the plants. Just wanted to test when it is better to do the defoliation so it’s kind of an experiment Tell me what do you think of how this is going

I'm shocked and impressed at how much abuse from my mistakes (high PH, low PH, no nutrients, to nutrient burn to light burn) and it turns out so good! I did a rough trim on them and hung the branches on hangers. I weighed each hanger so I can update it later Epsilon one 66 g hanger one Hanger to 61 g Hanger 3 40 g Hanger for 47 g Hanger 5 72 g Epsilon two my Hanger one 49 g Hanger to 33 g Hangar 375g Hanger for 71 g Hanger 540 g Hanger six 93 g Epsilon 3 Hanger one 95 g Hangar 295 837 Hangar to 59 g Hanger for 75 g Hanger five 52 g 5grams loose bud Wet harvest 1028g 36.26oz 2.26lb

Last week I removed several leaves that dried out. Overall the plant is suffering from light exposure and now I have reached the maximum height for the lamp in the tent. The plant did not grow this week staying around 62cm. I found some roots on the surface and covered them with more soil. I have noticed no substantial changes in the buds and I am not sure whether the general dryness is affecting them. I have purchased a ph solution to tackle that issue hope not too late. I am still confident I to get a decent outcome in a couple of weeks.

Everything going great beside the back right Original Oreoz which is very pale and looks either overfed or locked-out. I think this is due to poor genetics. She is still praying and growing buds so... I cannot ajust the feed for differents plants since I use a single reservoir. That's one of the downsight of growing multiple strains on the autopot system. First smell is here, very promising for the 2 tropics. Getting ready for the bulking phase. Happy growing !😊

Started week 8 Day 52 We are excited to announce new growing light setup coming soon for the ladies, we want to make them grow big a better so we gonna be adding 600 watts soon! In the meantime, we continue outdoors From 6. 30AM til weather gets too hot Once it reaches hot temperature and low humidity we bring them back indoors for CFL lights and Air conditioner plus fan Since it's so hot in where we live it's tropical weather, we always have to keep an eye to the hygrometer and the weather in general. So far so good, they're flowering and taking their time but day after day new buds are coming up, we've done some defoliation as well to get rid of those old leaves and the other ones that are too low and not gonna make it so the plant can return that energy into several buds that are already developing. Thank you so much for your support, we continue to upload content and update daily if possible, sometimes we busy and can't do it at the same time but have no fear we got you cover, not gonna miss a thing tho! Day 53 Ended up feeding them1710ppm per gal So 300ml/3.79lts Each plant plus 900ml of water PH 6.2 Looking neat Day 53 Felt like recording some videos today also the girls were looking good so why not Great Weather great day today They're happy and comfortable Growing good :) Day 54 Hey guys what's up? We've upgraded to a new set of lights Yeah dude they rock! Day 55 All day indoors since we've got those new baby's we running them on 700 watts VEG ON + BLOOM ON Day 56 Now please take a look at those thricomes they are very good looking and we still have 5 weeks left behind til harvest day Hell yeah :)

Plants are looks great .. 2 of the plants have huge colas already and getting bigger and fatter everyday.. I'm hoping the other 2 catch up ..lol Been having some issues while mixing my nutrients in my resivor.. Got alot of great info from other growers on GD network and was able to resolve my issues... Turns out the rhino skin was causing all the issues ... Since getting some help I havent had any issue with the nutrients mixture.. I also cut down on how much additives I add each feed.. Also notice my stems are purple... from what I remember they were always purple since I got the clones ... maybe genetics or sulfur deficiency or something ... anyways to far into the week to be worried about that , although this maybe why 2 of the plants have slower bud production..

Hi 😊✌️💚 The FatMonkeyAuto is in the final stages of waiting for 20% brown trichomes and then it's harvest time. I can only recommend the FatMonkeyAuto. It has good growth and is better for outdoor use or tents over 2m high. Because in a 180cm tent you quickly reach the limits. It smells spicy and fruity and the buds are nice and compact. Thank you for your time 😊👍 For more just follow and like 💚 Thanks

Noticed i had light leaking from bedroom right next to plant at night. blacked out windows in my room (sacrifices for the babies!) Now i have a little light from the building next door going to put cardboard up. To try and block most of the light

Hello it's another week of Passion of the Widow! Like I suspected there are 3/10 seedlings that are expressing mutations and or stunted. So I'll be getting rid of the runts (ww 8 and ww3) since I'm looking for a breeding pair I don't want stunted or mutants for the process. The girls are looking good, though I'm getting early pest problems which I just sprayed for earlier (:

New Aeroponics "root rain" mist cloner! Holds 2 gallons of water. I added 8 Tsp of CloneX clone/seedling nutrient. PH was 6.0-6.5ish, good enough! These clones inside got zapped pretty hard one day, because I forgot to plug in the water pump one time after playing with it hehehe... Some didn't make it, but most survived! every other plant was watered with just de-chlorinated tap water, for re-hydration. #4 has been selected as the winning pheno! The mother plant had her home upgraded to a 2gal pot. The root ball was not so bound, due to her receiving a root-prune not too long ago, she was re-potted back into a solo cup. I pruned the bottom of the root mass off with a light pinch, and potted her into her new 2gallon home!

420Fastbuds-FBA2501 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

🌸 Permanent Marker – Week 3 Flower Update Genetics: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow 🌍 ⸻ 👑 Pheno Differences – A Tale of Two Sisters This week, our two Permanent Marker phenos are really stepping into their own identities: • Pheno #2 – steady and compact at ~90 cm, balanced and symmetrical, a queen that keeps her structure tight. • Pheno #1 – aiming straight for the sky 🚀 … currently standing at ~1.95 meters! A true rocket, stretching nearly twice the size of her sister while still keeping the same elegant leaf formation and bud structure. It’s fascinating to see two very different expressions of the same genetics side by side, a reminder of the beauty of phenotype variation and why selective growing is such an art. ⸻ 🌱 Why Week 3 Flower Matters Week 3 is one of the most critical weeks in flowering. Here’s why: • The plants are finishing their initial stretch and stabilizing in height. • Bud sites are setting in, pistils multiplying, and the true architecture of the flowers begins to show. • Nutrient demand shifts from pure vegetative growth into a more balanced call for energy to support flower production. This is the week where the plant defines her frame for the buds to come, too much stress or poor nutrition here can limit yield and structure later on. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition – Simple & Effective We’re keeping it straightforward, leaning on the Aptus Holland super Soil and organic program: • All-in-One Pellets – mixed in the soil from the start, slowly releasing balanced nutrition. • Regulator – helps with nutrient uptake and strengthens the plant structure. • Top Booster – added gently to encourage early bud development. • CalMag – to support strong cell walls and avoid deficiencies. The beauty of this system is its simplicity: the soil does the heavy lifting with the pellets, while liquid supplements fine-tune the performance. It’s a sustainable and efficient way to grow, avoiding overfeeding while keeping the plants happy. ⸻ 🌡️ Conditions – Heat & Resilience Temperatures have been on the high side — a challenge in many summer grows. Still, the girls are holding up beautifully: • Room temp: peaking around 31°C • Humidity: ~60% (a bit higher over the last few days) • Soil temp: ~25°C • PPFD (PAR): • Pheno #2 (compact at ~90 cm): 760–780 μmol/m²/s • Pheno #1 (tall at ~1.95 m): 1,000–1,100 μmol/m²/s, reaching closer to the light This difference in PPFD is a natural result of their height difference — with Pheno #1 stretching closer to the light, she’s getting a more intense dose. It’ll be interesting to see how she handles the higher intensity compared to her more compact sister. 💡 Grower’s Note – Balancing Different Phenos Under One Light It’s common in multi-pheno runs to have plants finishing at different heights. Here are a few ways to manage light distribution and avoid stress or uneven growth: • Raise the fixture slightly to reduce intensity for taller plants. • Dim the light (if possible) to bring PPFD down into the sweet spot, while adding supplemental side or under-canopy lighting to support the shorter pheno. • Low-stress training (LST) or gentle bending/tucking of the tallest colas can help bring the canopy closer to even. • Stools or risers under shorter pots can bring compact phenos closer to the light. Every grow space is unique, so it’s all about finding the right balance to keep both phenos thriving. Even in the heat, both phenos are thriving — a testament to both the genetics and the resilience of plants grown in living, well-prepared soil. ⸻ ✨ Summary • Week: 3 of Flower • Highlights: Stretch finishing, bud sites forming, pistils stacking • Pheno #1: ~1.95 m tall, strong stretch, receiving 1,000–1,100 PPFD • Pheno #2: ~90 cm compact, balanced, receiving 760–780 PPFD • Nutrition: Aptus Holland organic super soil program (pellets + Regulator + Top Booster + CalMag) • Conditions: Hot but stable; humidity up to ~60%; both phenos adapting beautifully ⸻ 🌿 Reflection – The Beauty of Pheno Diversity Pheno diversity can be both a challenge and a gift. On one hand, it asks the grower to adapt, balancing light, nutrition, and space for two very different personalities. On the other hand, it’s a privilege: seeing how the same genetics can express themselves in unique ways is part of the magic of growing. It reminds us why documenting and sharing is so important, because every plant has a story to tell, and together, they teach us more than any single run ever could. ⸻ 🏆 Dognabis Cup – Officially Opening! This week also marks an important milestone outside the grow room: the Dognabis Cup is officially opening! 🎉 📦 The welcome packs are arriving at participants’ doors, and growers are already starting germination. Soon, diaries will begin to appear, and the Cup will truly come to life. A few notes for everyone joining: • The more complete and detailed your diaries are, the better your chances of winning. Sharing not just the results, but the process, is what this Cup is about. • Every participant received two genetics — one autoflower and one photoperiod. That means two chances to win 🌱🌱 • This Cup is about more than competition: it’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and celebrating the plant together. From my side, I want to wish everyone the very best of luck. May your seeds sprout strong, your flowers shine bright, and your journey be joyful. 💚 Let’s make this first Dognabis Cup an unforgettable experience. ⸻ This week closes with a sense of wonder — two sisters, same genetics, but two completely different stories unfolding. 🌿 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Plants are 5 weeks old and I decided to switch to flowering for week 6. Plants are all in good shape and the screen is in place to train them to fill the tent. I will be changing out the veg bulb this week and installing the 1000w HPS bulb for flowering. I’m still playing with the light rail speeds and pause times but I seem to have it dialled in now I think. I will also be doing another water change and adding flower nutrients sometime this week. ****Added 7 gal of fresh water to the reservoir on day 38. Added full strength Remo lineup for flowering to the 7 gal added to reservoir. I started to tie down/tuck the larger branches to the net as well.
