New clones just arrived! Starting them off straight into coco coir this time. First transplant today into solo cups. They got a pretty heavy first watering with a PPM of about 425. Hoping to really start them off strong. I will be vegging them for much longer than usual. I typically veg my plants for 4 to 6 weeks and these girls will be vegging for 8 to 9. This grow will be a great chance for me to try some HEAVY plant training techniques.

The buds are starting to form. The smell is strong when I open the cabinet, but with the filter, it doesn't smell. I corrected the deficiencies I had correctly. I defoliated a bit to allow good light penetration. I'll let you judge how they look now. I did a week of stretching, lowering the light by 1 hour each day.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto — Week 11 From Seed (Week 7 Flower) 12/12 from seed — controlled environment, natural expression ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Lesson to Balance Last week reminded us of something fundamental: Not every plant finishes the race. One was removed—not as a failure, but as a decision to protect the system. And that decision allowed everything else to continue without compromise. Now, the focus is clear: 👉 Energy goes to the thriving plants 👉 The room breathes better 👉 The system stabilizes And what we’re seeing now… reflects that immediately. ⸻ 🌿 The Garden Now — Structured Power The remaining plants are not just “doing well”— They are locked in. * Buds stacking with intent * Structure holding weight * Leaves rich, deep green * Uniformity across the canopy This is what happens when: environment + root health + light = alignment ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development — From Growth to Density We are now fully in the mass accumulation phase. * Calyxes swelling and pushing outward * Buds tightening and gaining weight * White pistils (hairs) still active → signals ongoing growth ✦ White Hairs (Pistils) Those bright white hairs are not decoration— They are active receptors, still reaching, still building. 👉 As long as they stay white and upright: the plant is still pushing forward ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — Where Quality Is Built Now we enter the most underestimated phase. * Resin heads forming and multiplying * Cannabinoid and terpene production increasing * Surface becoming visibly “frosted” This is not just aesthetics— this is the plant finalizing its chemical profile. ⸻ 🌈 Color & Expression — The Signature of Health This run is speaking clearly through color: * Deep, saturated greens → strong nitrogen balance * Bright pistils → active metabolism * No early fade → engine still running 👉 No stress colors. No confusion. Just clarity in expression. ⸻ 🌿 The Inner Jungle — Controlled Chaos Even with defoliation and lollipopping: The plant keeps building inside itself. That internal jungle: * Holds humidity * Restricts airflow if unmanaged * Can become a risk zone late flower Which is why this stage becomes less about cutting… and more about managing air and space. ⸻ 💨 Airflow — The Invisible Protector This is where your setup shines. * Vortex movement (primary airflow) * Cross ventilation (breaking stagnant pockets) Purpose: → Prevent microclimates → Avoid moisture buildup inside buds → Reduce risk of mold, mildew, bud rot At this stage, airflow is not optional— it’s crop protection. ⸻ 💡 Light Strategy — More Than Just Intensity This is where your grow moves into a different level. ☀️ Top Light (Primary Driver) * Main energy source * Drives photosynthesis and bud development 🔽 Under Canopy Lighting * Supports lower bud sites * Reduces larf * Improves uniformity ⸻ 🔴 Spectrum Control — The Fine Tuning Far Red / Deep Red * Influences plant signaling (end-of-day responses) * Can support flower maturation and stretch control UVA / UVB * Mild stress → increased resin production * Encourages trichome density 👉 Used correctly, these are not “boosters” They are signals. And right now, your plants are clearly responding well. ⸻ 👀 The Grower’s Role — Observation Phase This is that moment. It looks like: → watering → checking → repeating But in reality: 👉 You are reading the plant daily 👉 You are preventing problems before they exist 👉 You are choosing not to interfere And that… is skill. ⸻ 🧠 What This Week Really Is This week is not about action. It’s about: * Awareness * Stability * Patience Because at this stage: Overdoing = damage Understanding = yield + quality ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next (Week 8 Flower) ✦ Expect: * Increased bud density * More visible trichome coverage * Pistils slowly transitioning (white → darker tones) * Potential first signs of fade (depending on feeding) ✦ Watch closely: * Internal humidity * Airflow effectiveness * Any early signs of bud rot (especially deep in colas) ⸻ 🤝 Shoutout — From Grower to Growers To everyone following: The OGs, the new ones, the silent watchers, the loud supporters, the skeptics, the learners, the ones trying, failing, improving… To the platform. To the genetics behind this expression. To the environment that allows it. To the sponsors supporting the journey. And to everyone putting in work when nobody is watching. ⸻ Special Mention — Mr. Baggy Out there on assignment. Smoking joints, documenting, observing… probably seeing things we don’t. Real field work. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thought Last week showed what happens when the root system fails. This week shows what happens when everything aligns. Same room. Different outcomes. Because in the end— The plant doesn’t lie. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

Double Dunked got harvested 16/11 and I'm planning to let her dry for 14-21 days before trimming and put them in glass+boveda (58%) and grove bags for final cure. Drying conditions are as follows: 16-18°C 55-60% RH

She is looking so good I am so excited plant grows amazing love the struckture seams to resist desise and pest Wow!!

Works?

Flowers are coming along nicely.end of week swelling starting to incre

Hey! Welcome to week 9 for Karen! Week 8 is now complete so please go and check it out 🙏. Big week last week... massive. Day 57: Fertigated 6l. Height 40cm. Day 58: Scent has stepped up again and I'm noticing some of bud sites starting to develop frost. Day 58.5 Flushed with 20l of PH & CalMag. Day 59: reorganised tent Day 60: Fertigated 3l. Karen has put on a load of frost in the last 24h. I mean seriously. Smell stepped up again. Height 44cm. Day 60.5: I have had a really good look at other KKA grows. I think Karen is going to need a few extra weeks. I think she will be ready for harvest in about week 14. So I think we have about another 4-5 weeks to go. Day 61: Adjusted the LST a bit. She's frosting rapidly now. 😍😍🤩 Height 45cm. Width: 60cm x 70cm Day 61.5: It is only 8 days since I *heavily* defoliated and I think I probably should do it again already. Things are progressing well at the moment though so I am trying to resist doing it too soon. She is still stretching. Day 61.75: Right, I have done some research and I have made a decision,. I'm going to give Karen 2 full weeks from the last defoliation on day 53, so on day 67 (i.e half way through next week) I will defoliate and perform final LST just to space out the colas a bite more at the "top" of the plant. Incidentally, Nesia is now easily the same spread as Karen.. Nesia is going to be much bigger than Karen. Check out Nesia here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/161801-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude If you are interested in the stunted Big Bang Auto - Bertha - who is 2 days younger than Karen, check her out here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/158111-grow-journal-by-unorthodoxdude - in the current week I have added various photos of the non-cannabis plants in my tent. Who knew basil flowers were so pretty? 😊 Day 62: Fertigated 3l Day 63: Height 47cm width 65cm x 75cm Week Summary: Another big week with a plant barely recognisable from herself a week ago. As well as the ongoing stretch she has started to frost over this week and I am hoping this continues because more and more is appearing all over the place.

02/06/2021 She's growing! up to 7" now, i will take clones for outdoor season soon, so I topdress with blood meal I wouldn't usually be as aggressive but I want multiple clones for outdoor season going to be a big hit I think and I think she is heavy feeder? We will find out.

**Wednesday 4/21/2021 - Tuesday 4/27/2021** This week I dropped my A+B nutes from 9ml/Gal to 6ml/Gal and CalMag from 5ml/Gal to 2.5ml/Gal. This is also the one week of using Top Booster. From here on out I'll be using Top Shooter to finish. Overall this week has gone pretty good. I did some medium defoliation on Thursday and Saturday, and took a leaf or two here and there in between. I've been able to keep my humidity in pretty decent shape overall. You'll notice I started taking pictures with my light off later in the week. They do look better that way for sure. I don't have the greatest camera and I'm certainly no photographer. I can't really think of anything else to say really, just keep on trucking to the finish line!

I’m to busy sorry

The pistils are starting to brown a little so we're nearing the end, but this is not a September finish! Colas and bulking up I think she's had her last feeding. For awhile there I was worried about how this strain was going to finish but in the last couple weeks she's been really strong. I can't wait to see how she looks on harvest day!

16.06.2025 The Plant's had a ruff time with me recently! I lost one branch from Number 1 (the short one in the middle). And I had no Time to give them the needet attention. And I did my last Topping. So from now on it's just waiting till flower. 21.06.2025 I lifted Nr.1, in the middle a little up so the canopy is on the same hight.

Harvested Around 220 Grams from 3 Plants, terps were there slightly, smoked fine, its alright, went with a differnent breeder after.

Welcome growfessors! Harvest time for Do-si-dos! This gal is looking great after her last week in the tent. She developed a little foxtailing over the past week, but she did bulk up, pack on more frost and is sticky as molasses! July 11 dry weight of 83 grams. Smooth smoke, mellow flavors.
