Started the diary late... Basically vegged 4 plants for 4 weeks in airpots. i prefer to used LED for veg. I get shorter internodes. I didnt feed the plants any additional nutrients so far, only water. I did some low stress training and some topping so far. Im looking to switch to 600w hps but its rly hot rn.

Good week I must say , the top cola has spiraled it's buds around and connected itself , looks cool think I have about 2 weeks left before I cut, but I will have to check the trichomes later on down the last weeks , it should all be good 👍😊 Also thinking of maybe chopping off the lower branch popcorns , I'm 50/50 on this , if anybody could weigh in please do :)

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

Day 21 The plant looks more on the sativa side and is already showing a small bud, indicating that it's almost entering the flowering stage. However, there's still a chance that it will grow more in size. That’s why I’m very optimistic that it will still gain some height, if not she will be Chopped down

🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1️⃣ The room was simply too full. 2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪 This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚 Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚 The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌 Growers’ love to all 💚 #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all 💚💚💚 P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡 • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

So this week it was time for the girls to get a hair cut. (Defoliation) Took all bottom leaves and lower stems off. At the end of this week it time to put them in 24hr of darkness then for the flip to flower stage 🙌 Throughout my veg stage I have had no problems or deficiencies With the plant at this moment in time green house feed is working wonders, they may have converted me to there range of feed but only time will tell. 9L per plant of water with enhancer 27G

💫 Week 13 | Flower Week 9 – Heavy, Colorful, and Close to the Finish Line 🌿 The BlueBerry queens are reaching their final act — and what a sight they are. Both phenos are standing (well, trying to stand) under the weight of dense, resinous colas that have turned the tent into a living kaleidoscope of colors. Reds, oranges, yellows, and light greens paint the canopy in true BlueBerry style — a visual symphony of maturity, power, and grace. 🌸 Phenotype Highlights Pheno #1 – A soft, vibrant green tone, frosty and full of balanced structure. Pheno #2 – The colorful rebel. Reds and purples showing up beautifully on the leaves and buds, glistening with trichomes. Unfortunately, she gave us a little reminder of nature’s unpredictability — a touch of bud rot on her main top. We acted fast, cut it clean, and saved the rest. She’s drying beautifully now, and the rest of her canopy is thriving. 🌈 ⚙️ Gear in Action Lighting – ThinkGrow Model One + ICL 3300 working together in perfect harmony. They’ve been driving these girls from seed to bloom, bathing them in full-spectrum beauty from top to bottom. Airflow & Extraction – Two 6-inch fans, one from AeroFan and the other from Spider Farmer, keep the air moving. Each one runs with a carbon filter — clean, quiet, efficient. Environmental Control – Everything under the eye of the TrolMaster ecosystem, including the camera that lets us see and record every sparkle in real time. 🌿 Environment & Growth The summer heat continues to challenge the room, and with it, a bit of foxtailing has appeared — likely from heat stress or humidity. But this is part of the story. The girls are homegrown, full of heart, full of life, and we embrace their uniqueness. 🔮 What to Expect The finish line is near. Trichomes are maturing, colors are deepening, and aromas are thickening. We’re watching them closely to decide when that perfect harvest window opens — probably within a week or two. Next, we’ll focus on "flushing", watching the fade, and preparing the final harvest and drying phase. 💙 Gratitude To everyone following this journey — the lovers, the haters, the curious, the growers, the dreamers, and of course our sponsors — thank you. Every comment, every view, every message keeps the energy flowing. This run has been a reminder that perfection is found in patience and care — and sometimes, even in the challenges. 🎥 Everything is documented in 4K on YouTube — come check it out and see these BlueBerry legends shine in full color. #BlueBerry #Week13 #FlowerWeek9 #GrowDiaries #AptusHolland #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #ThinkGrow #SpiderFarmer #AeroFan #TrolMaster #HomeGrow #GrowWithLove 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Recuerdan la rama que se quebró, resulta ser la más alta de la planta. Al ver que la grieta del tallo puede ser un peligro inminente le aplique tierra de diatomeas en la grieta, debido al cilicio Biodisponible en las diatomeas esto potenciará las paredes celulares y engrosara las ramas

1/24 Seeing balls I think :( - Welp - Confirmed they are balls, #2 has them also, not sure if LST caused to much stress or what. To much pride to just kill them all. I will continue this grow concealed in the 3x3. Honestly thought I was doing everything right. Going to leave them together, I got a auto water system to help keep tent closed more often. Doing this for the experience, will deep clean tent and all equipment after. I guess my goal now is to just finish her up, I'm 4 weeks through, going to try to use this bud for edibles, etc. This is for the people who had a hermie, wanted to continue growing it, but couldn't due to there conditions. Here ya go, this will be a fun run. If this isn't a good idea let me know LOL. 1/25 - (early morning) after a little researching and thinking, I think I'll just kill the hermies out. #2 had the same sacks. Going to keep a close eye on #3,#4, but so far they haven't sexed yet, ended up chopping #1, #2 for the better. Done buying cheap seeds, I have went through recommendations to find the best genetics and a more reputable breeder, very soon will start diary on that which I am very pumped for. With 2 of these out now, Planning on putting another strain in with them. I got a little unmotivated experiencing this, but figured rather fix it now then set my self back another 4 weeks. Hopefully we still have luck with #3, #4 will hope for the best! 1/30 - Since chopping #1, and #2 due to them becoming hermie, I definitely lost some motivation on this run. I still have been watering and adjusting canopy with trellis. They have definitely blown up since 1/25, and are giving me much more motivation moving forward. I gave them recharge today. I have started slight LST again but just bending the top cola so it won't grow higher then other colas. I have started another run with Brother Mendel Genetics, and will be starting another grow diary series on them. Look out for it. I do apologize for the late updates, I hope you enjoy the updated documentation. Closing this week out, Definitely had a roller coaster typa week but things are starting to look up. 👉Check out My Instagram for daily updates @Seed2Weed_YT👈 Will Follow Back, Let's Grow Together 💪

First photo is the plant before LST and defoliation Did some light defoliation so air can get through easily. I took out the little new buds , The little balls in the middle of the forming cola to force the plant to make buds on other stems

Se empieza a notar la formación de flores, las plantas se han mantenido sanas. Riego 1 de cada 3 días, no por algo establecido, se ha dado que así lo han pedido las niñas. Abono en todos los riegos, porsupuesto bien dosificado considerando que las tablas son para un abono semanal.
