Excited to see seed germ, then they have taken to soil. Its like being a parent all over again I just want them to flourish lol. Need to get my vent sorted and my humidity down gradually but going well. Few issues with a stuck seed shell. Stumpy will and is getting some extra help. DIY C02 is working a treat too 👍👍

Well, week 11 has started today 8/15. So blessed to have gotten this far! I'll be flipping the lights tomorrow to begin to start flowering. I have both my tents linked up so I don't have to run two separate exhausts! Now that the stress part is over time to sit, enjoy some puffs and continue focusing my energy! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/17 Day one of 12/12 in the books! I gotta say, I always chill with my plants before I turn down for the night and it was strange not doing it last night, lol. So I'm gonna get some green lights! I have an awesome app on my phone called Hydroponics Green Screen Light, it's in the app store for free. Developer in Timothy Johns. It works great but not enough for me. But it is great if you need to go in during the dark cycle for whatever reason. Or you can get yourself a lamp and a green grow room bulb! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/19 Everything is looking very good. Got some very noticeable growth! That's about it really. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/21...just uploading a few pics to end the week with. Well 12 and the start of 2nd week of flower begins tomorrow! Everything still looking good 😁 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Beautiful pair of phenos of Badaz og cheese very excited about what strain is gonna offer me in terms of quality buds, so excited to see what is every of this 2 phenos gonna be like, I really hope that both of them have the exact terpenes profile and the same potency! Let's keep on working! We'll the ladies have been Transplanted on February 2nd after 17 days since planted, they were very big and the pot was completely conquered by strong roots as you can see, now both of them are in their new 11l pot home let's see how they keep developing! 💛❤️💚🔝💎

🌿 Week 3 – Transplant Week – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Vegetative Light: F.O.G. – Black Series 600W Pots: 11L Zamnesia Fabric Pots Environment: 8x8 Shared Tent Watering: Hand Watering CO₂: 632 ppm Room Temp: 27°C Humidity: 57.4% Water Mix pH: 5.83 EC: 1.01 Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 🌱 The Transplant Ritual – Rooted in Respect This week marked a milestone for our girls, the only transplant they’ll experience. From germination pods to their final homes: 11L fabric pots filled with a handcrafted super soil mix built to support them through the entire grow cycle. And what a moment it was, roots white, strong, healthy, bursting with promise. We took our time, handling each one with care, giving them the space to breathe, stretch, and claim their territory. ⸻ 🌾 Why Fabric Pots? Fabric pots offer an environment where roots can breathe, not spiral. This air-pruning effect encourages a denser, more efficient root system, ideal for healthy nutrient uptake, pest resistance, and overall vigor. The 11L size gives them just enough space to thrive, while staying agile in the shared tent setup. They also promote better drainage, stronger oxygenation, and more controlled wet/dry cycles, a perfect match for our hand-watering style and the super soil underneath. ⸻ 💧 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support Each pot was filled with a living substrate layered with Aptus Holland amendment, a clean, focused recipe: 🌱 Transplant Mix: • Super Soil Base (custom blend) • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with mycorrhizae • Aptus Micro-Mix – provides beneficial bacteria and biological balance • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – regulates pH and nutrient interactions Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml • Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml A delicate, supportive formula designed for root establishment and pre-veg stability. ⸻ 🌞 Light, Air, & Structure – The Gear in Action The girls are basking under the F.O.G. Black Series 600W, delivering clean, full-spectrum power. The result? Compact internodal growth, vibrant greens, and a glow that’s impossible to ignore. Airflow is key, and our current setup includes: • 2x 6-inch Carbon-Filtered Exhausts: • TrolMaster Aerofan 6”, controlled via the TrolMaster Hydro-X • Spider Farmer 6”, managed by the GGS Controller • 1x 6-inch Fresh Air Intake, carbon-filtered Yes, it’s early for scent, but carbon filters also trap airborne contaminants, pollen, and dust. It’s about creating a pure, controlled biosphere where only what’s meant to be there… stays. ⸻ 🔧 Ecosystem Evolution – TrolMaster Integration The TrolMaster ecosystem is slowly syncing into place: Lights, sensors, fans, cameras — all coordinated from the palm of our hand. Some plants will shift into automated watering systems, while others, including the SSH for now, are still getting the hand treatment. There’s magic in these moments. Feeling the medium. Listening to the plants. Touch matters. 🌿 ⸻ ✨ SSH #1 & #2 – The Chosen Phenotypes All three Super Silver Haze phenotypes have been stunning, but SSH #1 and #2 are standing out in structure, health, and spirit. These two are officially selected for the flowering stage. We’re documenting their every move, even took them to the studio for portraits. Yes, they deserved it. And yes… they’ll probably be back under the lens next week before they get too big to leave the tent. ⸻ What to Expect Post-Transplant Transplants can shock some plants, but not these ladies. Their roots were well-developed, and their new soil is welcoming. What to expect: • A short pause in above-ground growth as they settle in • Explosive root expansion in the new soil • Visible shoot growth by end of week • No training just yet — we’ll let them tell us when they’re ready We’re not rushing anything. This is about timing, rhythm, and letting nature sync with intention. ⸻ 🎥 What’s Next? Next week will reveal how well they’ve taken to their new homes. We’ll start gentle training. Possibly first topping. Definitely more photos. Stay tuned for: • Full transplant video on YouTube • Root shots, soil breakdown, and time-lapse updates • Training techniques & early-stage shaping ⸻ 📲 Join the Journey You know where to find us — and if you don’t: • GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctorofficial • Instagram: @DogDoctorOfficial • YouTube: Dog Doctor ⸻ Tools of the Craft Explore the gear powering this grow: • Genetics: Zamnesia • Nutrients: Aptus Holland • Automation & Sensing: TrolMaster • Lighting: Future of Grow • Pots, soil & tech: Spider Farmer • Storage/Curing: Grove Bags ⸻ With each week, we deepen the relationship between history and future, roots and reach, technology and touch.

Greetings fellow Green Thumbs! As promised, check out those roots :) I had to zip tie my light to the ceiling of the tent haha I can't seem to find the 1-foot extension set. Hopefully I won't need it. Still got about 5 inches of space left. Trimmed some more lower growth to open up the middle. Pre-flower pistil action. Looks good. Plant looks pretty healthy. Res temps hovering around 72F with constant white root growth. Decided to ramp up nutes to full strength (GH Flora 3-Part "Simple Drain-to-Waste" Schedule | Week 6 - Early Bloom minus FloraLicious Plus and RapidStart) <== in case I haven't mentioned already 👌 I think for my next run, I will run an airline through the net pot prior to filling with HEC and have it centered directly underneath the plant (Korinthius has been doing this since day one!😉) Thanks for tuning in. 'Til next time folks. Stay blessed! Peace! 🙏

Now that I see how these girls turned out it was probably a blessing I had some herms to cut out because there would’ve been no room. Especially in the pc/ssh tent because Pcrit and Sundae Driver were looking to be the biggest plants before I found balls and cut them down. The humidity has been surprisingly high but we’ve had warmer, wet weather for this time of year. I’m not sure I would’ve been able to keep it down with a tent packed wall to wall. I’m just thankful for how everything has worked out. If I ever do two plants per earthbound again I’ll make sure to veg for less time. I’m hoping to give these girls another week but the weather once again is going to be warm and wet so I will probably need to cut them down

Purpeling...much appreciated from Mr. Pipi ...yesterday i threw some icecubes on her soil for her to sip on through the night. Gimme dem Pörpel Buds ecco 29.03.2024 Day 115 Mr. Pipi chopped off one Branch(13,6g wet). Since April 1st gonna be a date to celebrate for Germany, Mr. Pipi wants to do so with some early Harvest. Just because I can. 😄😄 And around 3-7 Days the rest of the plant will be ready, hopefully. Mr. Pipi feels like its over 50% Milky and the amber ones are a bit rare. But we are close my friends. So Let´s all be happy and welcome the german growers officially🙌🙌 I tried to take sweet shots of the branch, but Mr. Pipi is amateur. and the branch was curved 😵. But i hope you enjoy.

Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. I have 4 Marilla Fruit plants and they are all very different. The scent of each plant is very strong and very special. MF # 2 - 79cm - has a very compact Indica growth pattern with wide and large leaves. I had to defoliate a lot. Trichomes production is well underway. MF # 3 - 99cm - is more of the sativa type. Very slender leaves with purple stem. Trichomes production is also well underway at this plant. MF # 4 - 81cm - Indica plant with thick clusters of leaves that are packed very close together. Lots of defoliation work. MF # 6 - 96cm - rather sativa type. Open structure, relatively few large leaves, many side branches, buds spread over the entire plant. Less positive are the many small leaves between the flowers.
