Another week of epic growth: the Haze sisters put on 20cm, and their myriad buds grew considerably, though I worry that I have allowed far too many buds to form - each plant has several dozen, which I suspect may stunt their growth?

I harvested a week earlier , because I spotted some minor bud rot in lower branches. I don't know why, bud I could not see any sign of bud rot in the bigger buds. I just found them , because I found some twisted sugar leaves, which is in most causes a bullet proof sign. The plant overall seemed to be in a pretty good condition, with minor nitrogen deficiency and some potassium/phosphorus. The last to, I should have added a small amount more, to make the buds a bit more dense, but the current state is ok. Although , it was a complete outdoor grow, pushing bud density would probably have gotten to a more a more bud rot state. This plant is really easy to grow, she almost runs for itself and does need little to no care. I chose a big pot , 25 liters , added 12 liter of light Mix and filled the rest with Coco and perlite. After that, I barely added nutrients and just waited for signs of deficiency, which barely occurred. Aroma: The aroma ist very sweet and some kind of fruity, but not generic , it is outstanding in its own kind of way. You're definitely missing lemon scents, but I think it's more of orange . There are no signs of earthy , peppery or stinky smells. Just pure sweet fruit. Unfortunately it means, I can not smell " cookies". But I thing this also happens to a lot of " cookie" strains and is often exaggerated, if claimed. I hung her up in my whine fridge , 16°C and 60% rlf for the first few days. After that, I turned rlf down to about 52%. She smells exactly like she did outdoors. Her smell does not hit you in the face. But if you smell it, it is really pleasant and calming. The smoking test be added , after I tested it for a few days. Overall in growing this variety, I rate this strain 8/10. I would would give this strain more stars, if I could really smell cherry and cookies. Unfortunately, the cherry smell combines more with the overall fruity smell, which makes it hard to isolate it. I can definitely recommend this strain to beginners, if they seek a user friendly hybrid with a guaranteed nice (bag)-appeal and reliable sweet, but not kushy aroma. A pro grower will definitely hit bigger scales, if grown indoors and preferably in Coco / hydro. I hope you enjoyed my conclusion and take it consideration, when you plan to buy some beans. Happy grow to all of you 🤝🌱

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

This plant has been very enjoyable to grow and the smell of it is incredibly Pleasant I will update when the plants are drying and ready for curing it will take approximately between 7 and 14 days because I wait until the main stem snaps with a crunchy sound. Day 5 of drying and they are still far away from ready but they're starting to show a nice Colours now . the smell it's becoming very powerful even without curing I know many Growers cut them down when the smaller branch are snapping off easy but I wait until the main stem I bend and a crunch very dry sound come out of it because I don't like to deal with mold and I have a very busy life can be opening curing jars every few hours everyday that's why a good Boveda packs and a good drying are my best friends. These are the weights for the two plants that one that was bigger #1 is 51.12 grams the second plant #2 was 36.17 grams . They smell very nice like a kiwi skunk smell to it . The high are strong and last about hour and a half to two hours. For a regular smoker I will classified as day stuff on the Stoney side. With a high THC probably what is advertised on their website . This is very good for somebody who wants to have a quick grow of very good stuff or somebody who lacks space but doesn't want to sacrifice quality. The fact that I couldn't get a large yield out of it was a bomber for me I really like plants that are capable of producing a large yield. Taste 10 out of 10 Aroma 10 out of 10 High 8 out of 10 . day. strong THC. Yield 6 out of 10. Easy to grow strain. Possible to crop in 65 days from seed at 20h lights on.32 Centigrades and 45%humidity. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

FBT2309 is flowering well. She has a sweet flowery aroma at the moment. She is growing under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in the Gen1:11 nutrition. She is coming to the end part of bulking. I figure she has about 2 weeks left roughly. She has a nice frost, and is looking great. The organo-mineral nutrition is a bit tougher to grow in. The flavor has been amazing from other grows. So it's worth the extra effort. Thank you Medic Grow, Gen1:11, and Fast Buds for the tester. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

Wow! Autos really go for it don't they! They have grown so much in past week I have been tucking all the stretch under the scrog and still more to go. Bout 40 days in so far so just over half way maybe. All doing well. Water and feed in the mornings and VPD climbs steadily throughout the day. Ranges tween 1.1 and 1.4 per 24 hours with around .7 of a litre per plant each watering. Put some music in with them to keep em company. Today is Reggae Thursday. PPFD ranges from around 600 on the margins to 750 in the hotspot. I like growing Auto's and they seem to like the tent environment. I may even dedicate this tent to Auto grows only. The smell in the tent is delicious but nothing outside thank god. Only third week in flower I see bud sites everywhere! I hope things continue to go this well for the duration. Very impressed with Auto's. Titan is coming on well too. Will have tent to herself after the others are finished.

📆 Semana 10: Iniciamos el lavado de raíces para la Mimosa Auto en sustrato, eliminando el exceso de nutrientes y preparando el terreno para una cosecha limpia y sabrosa. El color del agua de drenaje comienza a aclararse, señal de que el proceso avanza correctamente. Los tricomas siguen madurando, y los pistilos adquieren tonos anaranjados cada vez más intensos. La Mimosa Auto cosechada en hidroponía ya está colgada secándose en ambiente controlado, conservando su perfil aromático. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

So we started feeding them. just some organic growth by BAC and some Calmag. Mostly around the sides of the pots to encourage the roots and start the Microlife overall. We have used nice lukewarm water and added some sugar sirop to activate all the wee beasties. The growth last week was phenomenal although one is going faster than the other. For this reason I changed them around, should climate on that spot have anything to do with that. Now we are looking at other XL runts diaries, to learn from the best performers and copycat their methods to maximize yields with this setup. We will decide if we will just LST them or give them a top... Have to be quick tho, these ladies will flower soon... Thank you for checking my grow, hope you are successful on yours and Il be checking you out in coming days as I have a little more time. Big hug as always and see you next week!

👨‍💚🌴 Grower HageWeed is delighted to introduce his🌴💚👨‍ ⚜️👑🌱 Autumn Cup Contest by Royal Queen Seeds 🌱👑⚜️ 💚🏁✅⚜️🏆🏅Today, 2nd October, I received the Royal Queen Seed package. I was just expecting seeds and a lighter with their nutrients, but instead a roundup of very interesting stuff arrived. Hemp papers, normal, clipper signed royal queen seed, a magazine I can't wait to read, nutrients, stickers, a complete catalog with the new genetics, a Zamnesia booklet, 5 seeds Honey Cream fast flowering, a door joint (which I have photographed several times, I already love it, my walking joint will no longer suffer from the long walks in my pocket waiting to be consumed), grinder, fabric vase that I really like at the sight, and the starter kit for germination. Due to the current lack of space to germinate, I dipped 2 seeds in water, (I started with one but it seemed to suffer from loneliness: D). I can't wait for them to start growing, I'm very excited to be able to participate in a contest. Stay tuned: D 🏅🏆⚜️✅🏁💚 ➡️04/10 Yesterday, examining the packet of seeds carefully, I noticed that one of them seemed split, and so it really was. I put it directly in the jar covering it with plastic wrap hoping it will grow anyway. Should it be born we have 3 honey cream seeds: D On one of the two seeds 2 mm of radicle begin to be seen, the other still shows no sign of opening but we are not in a hurry: D ➡️05/10 Today the root of the second seed has also begun to emerge: D we continue to wait impatiently: D ➡️06/10 Very well, both seeds are coming out well. probably tomorrow they will be put in the jiffy. I have great things in mind for these two seeds: D Come on, grow up !!! ➡️07/10 Today these sweets have lengthened the radicle a little, just enough to win a place inside the jiffy. The broken seed I put in the jar also seems to have taken root, but we'll find out more in the coming days. With one of the two suits I will start a solo cup diary, even if I am out of time for the contest. It will especially help me to better understand how to manage plants in different situations. Well so, Yeah! .➡️08/10 We are already two centimeters away. Even the broken seed seems to want to get out but we wait patiently. Well so, Yeah! ➡️09/10 Today I helped the leaves to free themselves from the seed, as soon as I see some roots, they will be moved to the final pot without too many transplants. Today I also start counting the days. Day 1 from the emergence started. Well so, Yeah! ➡️10/10 Tomorrow the jiffy will be moved to the 11 l pot of royal queen seeds: D can't wait. The one in the jar doesn't seem to have caught, too bad :( the sprout is about 3 centimeters high. Well so, Yeah! ➡️11/10 Today this sweetness has been poured into its final jar, positioned near the rim for a future LST. I added 1l of corrected water to the new pot, away from where I put the seedling. Unfortunately, the broken seed didn't make it. ➡️12/10 Everything is OK. I will try to take 2 photos every day, horizontal and vertical, then I will see the results: D ➡️13/10 Wet with 0.4 of fertilized water vegetative pattern, today is the first 12/12 light day. Well so, Yeah! ➡️14/10 Nothing to report today, Well so, Yeah! ➡️15/10 The humidity gizmo says it's still pretty wet at the bottom, I'll wait to irrigate. Well so, Yeah!

So week 8 was definitely a trying one. I was coming off of not only being behind on food from a couple weeks back, but also having a soil pH problem at same time. So I fed them a couple weeks back, found the pH issue and flushed with proper pH water. However, some of the damage and deficiency signs were still hanging around. I decided to give them each a top dressing of 6 tbsp's of 2-8-4 power bloom, in case I washed a lot out during the flush. At the same time, continuing to water at a lower pH of 6.0-6.5 to encourage my soil to go back to an optimal level. On the soil pH tester they are all sitting from 6.6-6.8 pH currently. Which was a lot better than the 7+ I found during the issue. These girls are growing big and are constantly hungry for water and nutrients. The amount of leaves on this strain was quite impressive. On that note, I had to do a lot of defoliation at the end of week 8. Hoping to encourage longer bigger colas and allowing light to penetrate to lower canopy. Plan is to keep watering when dry, adjust LST as the weeks go along, and defoliate where necessary. I do apologize to Dutch Passion, as I feel I've done them a disservice with my issues this time around. So if the result of this strain from me is sub par, it would not be the strain at this point. But I will continue to do my best to make a good result!👊 Happy growing! P.S. forgot I named them to track their health. Big Red, Stubby and Corona Virus. Big Red is largest but has red stems and leaf discoloration. Corona Virus is like Big Red but more leaf issues and Stubby is shortest one but by far healthiest so far.

These are starting to get me excited, I'm glad now that I did not cull the 3rd cultivar that was behind, she filled out nicely and is still a bit behind just starting to hit preflower.. however she may end up being the biggest out of the 3 in the long run do to the added veg time.. only thing I don't like about that pheno is she was quite leafy and the bottoms grew a bit wild, however I did the required defoliation and now have her scrogged out in bamboo steaks ✌️

She's looking very very healthy and still trying to give her a perfect shape before I hit flower or before I changed the light cycle if you would. So let's see how this lady performs!

🌸 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.

Buenass, novena semana de los esquejes. Los dos van muy bien, se ven bastante frondosos y les hice su ultima defoliación a los dos hasta el día que empiece ciclo 12/12 que les haré una leve para entrar a florar. Al esqueje del LST le aplique la técnica supercropping a su rama principal, con esto logre bajarla y que este mas cercana a la altura de los demás tallos. La planta reacciono muy bien a este estrés y ya está como si nada. Durante esta semana le haré la primera aplicación de Delta9 que es un estimulante floral, esto lo aplicare vía foliar y a los 10 días se cambiara el ciclo a 12/12. La temperatura esta semana a estado mas helada y la que viene será lo mismo pero por el momento las plantas se ven muy bien. Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!
