Day 129 Flower 67 Remaining 10?!? WOW! lol they keep plumping up. most have slowed down but some of the colas are still noticeably growing. The plant on the right is quite a bit different then the other two. much shorter and has different looking colas. much more rounded. Also this plant has lots of white hairs on the main colas. Is this a sign they are still growing? how come the other 2 only have a few white hairs and this one is loaded. another distinction is that this plant hasn't really started fading yet. it has a few purple leaves but doesnt have the fade like the other 2? weird? why this plant so different. I'm quite nervous still but its all good, its just because its foreign to me. most the trichs are clear but theres a growing number of milky ones and the odd amber one. this is for the top colas i've been watching. I'm stoked to see the harvest. theres 24 yo yos in there holding up these massive colas! The flush should be any day now. I'm still confused as to know when i'm a week out and to start the flush?!? I understand harvest is when mostly milky with a few clear and amber. I cant believe the crystals on these ladies. its absolutely insane! also sticky as all hell, amazing! I'm very excited, the big day is coming up very quick Thanks again for following along and helping to make this grow what it is, let finish strong! 👌👊👊

11/07/20 Was gifted a (It's MENDO DOPE) She has been sexed but not sure what pheno, but they're all good. Going to veg for a week then flip to 12-12. Ps. Took some clones for saving this is some crazy terpy shit!😍 Clones are on 12-12 schedule, in my experience they will root faster this way. This girl is potted in big roots soil and its time to pot up and flower.She is in florecent light tent for one more week than to LED to finish her off under11-14 schedule. Ps. Clones are looking happier than first pic 5 days ago.

6/26 Rained last night. Might have showers bur the sky is clear. Real good weather coming. I need to transplant those seedlings. Plants are noticeably bigger every day. I see small spits of damage but it's isolated and in a high wind area. I'll address it and watch for nute deficiencies. Also need to transplant those seedlings. At leastcones an auto. 6/27 Rained overnight again. Looks clear today but we did get some rain yesterday. Tomorrow is all sun. I'm planning to transplant those 3 seedlings today. Also noticed some ragged holes so I've got a few pests. Looks like grasshoppers or something. With all the rain could be slugs or pillars I guess. Need to get ipm up amd running. I've got work to do. Found a plant on my gmo in the 30 bag. It got sun burnt and wind burnt but came out of it and they're all doing great. At first this one was a little behind after transplant but so were the other gmo's. Originally, it was one of my best plant prior to transplant outdoors. That one leaf I found during a thorough inspection of the garden. I'm hoping it's not tmv. Plants growing vigorously and better than but I'll keep an eye on it. I also transplanted the 3 seedlings. I added half new 707 in the 50 (prior soil was this same mix from last year) and transplanted one in that. One in a 10 gallon bag and the auto in a 5 gallon bucket. It will be interesting ingredients seeing how they turn out. All transplants went really smooth. 6/28 It's gonna be a hot one today. I haven't watered in over a week due to rain. Wind was whipping this morning! Looked like plants MIGHTVE been drooping but now that I think about it it was probably just the wind. ANYWAY I WATERED TWO AND A HALF GALLONS on the clones. That wind dries the bags out fast. Some still had some heft to them. Lately I've been going by my intuition which has seemed to be on point. All the seedling transplants look good and show no signs of stress. 6/29 The site was down so I couldn't update. Looks like it's gonna rain. It's noontime. This morning i found and killed two inch worms. There's not much damage so I'm wondering whether bt is necessary. Birds sit on the frame and dart I'm and grab them. I'll have to think on it. I also need to decide what I'm going to use for nutes this year. Don't need it yet. GMO's and sherb pie is putting out pistols everywhere. Same with the event horizon. Looks like I may have an early harvest this year. I certainly hope so. Still.....only did half what I did last year but with everything going on its all I can handle. 6/30 Site was down and it doesn't want to pet me upload my pictures 7/1 Trying to keep this updated. Need to spray bt. I'm seeing some damage. Not much but I need to get a handle on it now. Poured yesterday. Super sunny today. Plants seem to be flowering early this year while I still have a 2 seedlings that haven't shown their sex yet (they are fems but still). The clones are beginning to flower it looks like so I may have an early harvest this year. 7/2 WATERED THE GARDEN WITH 4 GALLONS. Spent some time looking over the plants and decided to hold off on the bt seeing as there isn't much damage. I spoke to a few shop owners and after seeing my garden this wad their advice as well. While watering I noticed red ants coming out of the soil of my GMO in the 30 gal. Some of these strains will be early finishers. The only time I've had stigmas like tjis was when I grew mendo breath and that was a super early harvest. Either way things are looking fantastic. The auto seedling finally showed a stigma. One seedling left (they should ALL be females) but I cant tell by the preflower yet. It looks female but I need to see that little white hair emerge to be sure.

So this is the starting phase of the light schedule 3 days in so far after they sproutd from the soil in the 3" cups the light schedule is on 16hrs on 8 hrs off. Also there is strictly water being sprayed lightly on and off through the day no heaving water added at all. Will keep it posted, Also if someone could help me better arrange this grow diary that will be greatly appreciated lol sorry thanks!

Hi Growmies , I hope your all mean and green in the right places. Here we are at week 10 flowering for this #Exoticseeds strain . It has been a steady process so far and the doner plant #1 has kept the dankruptcy at bay just right. the early harvested tip buds are very active and hit the spot for sure. They do need a proper dry and cure for the main crop but the quick drying has not done to much injustice to the overall finish. buds are nice and tight and crumble nicely with a tackiness so not all lost to rhe quick dry.lol The rest of the #1 lady has been steadily taking advantage of the light to the lower and much smaller buds and they have made a great effort to swell and become the mains. another week and they will be done for sure with the lower pistils being ripened. The other ladies are looking ready to burst open with a new flush of pistils any day . I think at least another 10 days for them and a final feed of the Dragon force before just using a basic weak feed for the final week. There is definitely 2 different phenotypes among these girls with the #5 being the odd girl in the pack. She is a beautiful colour with a dark purple to her leaves. Her buds smell like juicy fruit gum so strongly too. I am looking forward to her final finish so much now. The other girls have a more diesel/fuel smell to them with a lemonene sweetness to them too and are very tacky to touch too now , all good signs. I want.to push them to their very final ripening before harvest so I can give them the best chance to increase their overall yields. I did very little to their growth patterns beside a little lst and topping initially so they would benefit from more light access to lower buds and I did not steip much leaf put either. A very lazy grow for me this run .lol. Until next time , be well

Flower time! Plant structure and training completed, not waiting any longer for this one. Not as big as I’d like, but I want the two tents to switch at the same time. Shorter tent anyways. Allowing to grow into 2x TS600’s now until 24” away and observing for any negative effects. I’m really liking how these Blimburn genetics are growing out, even though she’s shorter, she’s thick and strong. Really stacking up. I’m not going to allow many secondary branches to grow out this round. Don’t want it crowded in there this grow, going for fat hard colas…hopefully. Top dressed with Bokashi gro-pro, earthworm castings, and watered in with Gaia Green soluble seaweed 0-0-17. In a couple weeks will top dress again with 4-4-4 & 2-4-8. Thanks for the views and Grow On!

Am 27.01.21 die Ladies nach 5 Wochen vegetativer Phase in die Blüte geschickt. An den höchsten Zweigen superscropping durchgeführt um ein gleichmäßiges Höhenwachstum hinzubekommen. Dieser Strain entwickelt bis jetzt sehr viele große Blätter. In der nächsten Woche wird zum ersten mal großzügig entlaubt um das Licht an alle wichtigen Punkte zu bekommen. Durch den Stretch in den ersten Blühtewochen habe ich mich entschieden in der ersten Blühtewoche noch Wachstumsdünger zu gießen und erst in BW 2 umzustellen. Die Temperaturen sind aktuell bei ca. 18-19 Grad in der Nacht und 23-24 Grad am Tag. Die RLF liegt relativ konstant zwischen 43 und 50 %. Die Ladies sehen gesund aus. Für die aktive Zuluft ist es noch zu kalt. Der CO2 Gehalt ist aber auch so okay! Sorry für die schlechten Bilder unter dem Licht, nächste Woche wirds besser 😁

This is it for this girl, she'll get another 3 days to let her ripen up as the trichomes have yet fully turned. I cannot wait to try this beautiful plant that is just oozing of beautiful terps. This plants was grown under 95W quantum board. Cheers, GHL

Ai Gude Growmies, Alter Tobi (NL auto)🧓🏼🌌: 5.6= 21cm 8.6=29cm +8cm Canna Terra Vega Gorilla Punch Auto 🦍👊🏻🚗: 5.6= 20,5cm 8.6= 25cm +4,5 cm Canna Terra Flores / Canna Boost Mimosa Cake Auto🍹🍰🚗: 5.6= 23cm 8.6= 30cm +7cm Canna Terra Vega Habe mich gegen das Toppen entschieden da es noch mehr Stress bedeuten würde und ich beim ersten mal Autoflower Genetik lieber auf Nummer sicher gehen wollte da. Endlich bin ich auch wieder im Wochen takt das es immer Sonntags die neue Woche hochladen kann. Fangen wir beim Alten Tobi an dem Sorgenkind nachdem Blatt Schaden fing er an sehr gezackte und verformte Blätter zu entwickeln. Natürlich ist der Punkt das die Erde am anfang zu trocken war und ich tauchen musste um die Erde richtig zu wässern. Denke der ganze Stress ist daran schuld und ein Teil die Genetik weil die anderen 2 haben sich wie ich empfinde gut entwickelt. Oder meint ihr die Pilze wo im Topf wachsen haben damit was zu tun was ich mir nicht vorstellen kann oder ? Die GPA wächst sehr gut in die Breite und entwickelt massive stabile Seitentriebe. Sie ist den anderen geschätzte 5-7 Tage voraus. Hatte gehofft das sie mehr in die Höhe schießt da die anderen ihr 5cm voraus sind. Werde wahrscheinlich einfach sie. Höher setzen das sie mit den anderen gleich hoch ist. Sie hat als einzige schon Blüte Dünger und Booster bekommen vor 2 Tagen seitdem explodiert sie förmlich🤯 Zu guter letzt die MCA sie hat die trocken und wässer Phase gut überstanden. Leider hätte ich den Vega Dünger nicht erhöhen müssen da sie jetzt leichte Adlerkrallen hat. Ansonsten habe ich sie nur entlaubt da für LST die Triebe noch wachsen müssen und sie ist nicht so Dicht verzweigt ist denke ich geht es ohne solange an alle Triebe ausreichend Licht fällt. Da ab jetzt bei allen definitiv die Blüte beginnt habe ich vor 2 tagen die ADlite Red-55 (660nm Deep Red 55w) zugeschaltet und die Haupt-Lampe von 60% (400w) auf 80% (520w) geschaltet da es endlich die Temperaturen wieder zu lassen. Die 2 anderen Pflanzen sind Fettkraut Pinguicula spec. "Guatemala" meine natürliche Insekten Falle. Diese Art ist sehr robust und kann auch mit Kalk haltigen Wasser gegossen werden.

🌱 Grow Diary Update — Sour Diesel Week 4 | First week of flower (12/12) This week, the spotlight is on Sour Diesel, because she clearly stood out from the rest of the room — and when one plant speaks louder than the others, we listen. ⸻ 📍 Quick recap (so everyone is on the same page) • Sour Diesel just entered week 6 / first week of flower • She was running on Autopots with mineral-only feed • Organics and amendments were removed from the Autopot system • The rest of the room handled this change fine • She did not She started showing: • Droopy posture • Loss of vigor • Early deficiency-type signals • A general “I’m not comfortable” look Important detail: 👉 She was the only plant reacting like this. ⸻ 🌿 Why this happened (the key lesson) Sour Diesel is an old-school genetic, and not all strains respond the same way to abrupt system changes. In her case: • She was previously thriving with organics + minerals • Removing organics reduced: • Nutrient complexity • Biological buffering • Availability of secondary elements • This happened right at the transition into flower, when demand increases sharply On top of that, we had environmental pressure: • Outside temps: ~4°C • Outside humidity: ~98% • Room stabilized at: 21°C / 58% RH Those conditions are acceptable — but combined with: • Feed change • Flower transition • Genetic sensitivity …it was enough for her to react. ⸻ 🚿 Why we took her off Autopots Autopots are great — but they’re not universal. We removed her from the Autopot regimen because: • She needed immediate, tailored feeding • She wasn’t responding well to mineral-only delivery • Hand-feeding lets us: • Adjust EC gently • Reintroduce organics • Observe response feed by feed This wasn’t a system failure — it was a plant-specific decision. ⸻ Current feeding strategy (now) • Medium: hand-fed (off Autopots) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 • Full recipe: organics + minerals • Added: CalMag Pro Why CalMag Pro? • We’re using rainwater + humidifier water, which is very soft • Low calcium & magnesium availability can show fast in flower • This is both: • A corrective move for her • A preventive move for the whole room Meanwhile, the rest of the Autopot system is running: • 2.29 EC • pH 6.0 • Mineral-only • Other plants are stable and happy ⸻ 🌬️ Environment (current) • Lights: stable • Airflow: good • Temp: ~21°C • RH: ~58% Nothing extreme — but this shows how context + timing + genetics matter more than numbers alone. ⸻ 🔮 What we expect (and what we don’t) What we expect: • Gradual recovery, not overnight • Leaf posture improving first • New growth responding before old leaves • Stability over speed What we don’t expect: • Instant “fix” • Old damage to reverse • Her to behave exactly like the rest of the room From now on, she’ll simply need a bit more attention than her sisters — and that’s okay. ⸻ 🧠 The bigger takeaway This is a perfect example of why: • There is no single “best way” • Systems are tools, not rules • Genetics always get a vote • Listening beats forcing We’re not chasing perfection — we’re responding with intention. We’ll keep monitoring her closely over the coming week and adjust calmly, step by step. As always, this is just our experience and observation — not a universal recipe.

Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

Bloom Week 3(Almost 4): This girl looks happy and there are buds everywhere. In the past week the buds have really started to get larger. She seems hungry, every few days a leaf shows some deficiencies (Yellowing/fading), but it’s only 1 or 2 leaves at a time. I’m not too worried about it, but may up the nutrients a bit as the manufacturer says that you can double the numbers for heavy feeding. This is a large hungry girl, and she drinks a lot. I’m loving this plant and it looks like we’ll get a nice yield from her if she continues being healthy.
