154.3 grams on a beautiful strawberry pie auto flower. Thanks again fast buds. Also thanks to anyone who has been following or checks this grow out in the future. Hey don't be shy hit up my YouTube channel and toss me a subscription. Many more videos to come. Thanks again and happy growing everyone 💨💨💨 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g To purchase seeds follow the link here https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419 The story of Roscoe I had rescued Roscoe at the end half of 2006. He was maybe 6 months old. The lady who had him was not allowed pets in her apartment. So she kept him in a little closet to hid him. Then she knew nothing about dog nutrition, and was feeding him different foods on the daily. So I aquired him due to the ability to provide better and get him out of a closet. He lived in 3 different areas. In his first couple years he lived in a populated area. Loves everyone, but scared many, you ask why. Well being a pit bull he would run at you like he was attacking, only threat was when he would jump up, and basically try to drown you in saliva. He loved attention. Then he spent about 6 years in the country on 24 acres. So he had lots of room to run, and explore. Then the last couple years we were back in a populated area. At this time he was older, and less active, but every bit a love bug. His favorite time had to be in bed next to me while I slept to cuddle. He would burrow, and squirm for 20 minutes with joy being in bed. Was a amazing pit bull. Never harmed anyone. Just wanted love. So as he aged being purebred he suffered from hip dysplasia in last about 3 months his left hip popped out. Rendering his leg useless. Cost of this surgery is very pricey, and stressful to the pet. During his last year he had lost his hearing, and had tumors developing that I did have the dr clean up when they ruptured. I was unable to afford his hip surgery. So he was still mobile on 3 legs for several months. Then on 4-2-21 his other leg had given out. Causing him lots of pain, and ending any happiness I seen in him. He was unable to go out, and stand on his own to go. Was messing in the house really bad. At this point his quality of life was not much but misery. So I took him to the vet to be euthanized, and end his suffering. What makes it harder is to know his mind was still there just his body was broken. Plus he knew what was going on, I believe when we got to the dr. Office. I will always remember him, and how he was my best friend that never judged. Would give his life to protect me and only want unconditional love in return. Plus a few treats. Thanks again for kind words, and support. Your pets are family, and remember to treat them as such .

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Stage Overview We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach. All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes: • One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth. • One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass. • One sits right in between, balanced and steady. This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Climate Control The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase: • Relative Humidity: ~75–80% • Day Temperature: ~27 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro. The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth. With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Containers: 15 L plastic bags • Medium: ProMix Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows. ⸻ Nutrition – Philosophy & Application We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in. For me, this offers the best of both worlds: • the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition, • combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs. Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent): • Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition) • Power Roots (root stimulation) • Pure Zym (enzyme support) • Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support) • Vita Race (foliar & vitality support) • TDS / EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.8 The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job. Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance. ⸻ Watering • Volume: ~0.4 L per plant • Frequency: every 24 hours Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration. ⸻ Observations & Interpretation Growth is slow — and that’s expected. Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance. Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error. Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves. ⸻ What to Expect / What Not to Expect What to Expect: • Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks • Continued phenotype variation • Increased leaf complexity and structure • Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12 What Not to Expect: • Explosive vegetative growth • Uniform plant size • Immediate stretch or flowering signals This is a long game, not a sprint. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist & collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible. And as always, thank you to the community — the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers. Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow. Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 3 Summary • Environment stable • Nutrition consistent • Roots developing • Phenotypes expressing differently • Plants healthy, calm, and promising The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context. For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this: • Week 1: ~300 PPFD • Week 2: ~400 PPFD Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity: • Week 3: ~500 PPFD • Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive: the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready. This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

Received TWO 5packs of rhino Ryder as freebies. Gonna grow these outdoors and see how they do. Gonna take advantage of socal sunshine. Only 4 out 5 sprouted. It’s old beans I think. So that’s a good pop rate. I think.

What a long and interesting week with these. Flushed really well this week, then cal mag'd them. Wk7 I will be adding yet more cal-mag. Runoff PH is 6.2-6.5, soil ph direct is 6.5.-7ph, Feed Ph is 6. EC runoff is a bit high, betting its from the LUSH at the bottom. Going to just cal-mag and water.

DAY 7 SINCE PLANTING: Everything is still going great I really like to baby these girls making sure they are always at the right temp and humidity and never dying for a drink .. you can definitely already tell a difference in how much water uptake each strain differs by... like the washing machine by ripper seeds was the first to take off and definitely sucking up water the fastest. Kosher Kush is super healthy as well along with the free BLUEBERRY seeds from “ Seedsman. I’m planning on moving them into my tent here in the next 10-14 days under my 1000 watt MH (dimmed to 600 watts) and 2 other mars hydro 150 watt leds(at half power) if you guys could help me out with your opinions ,thoughts, critiques Anything would be appreciated like how far away should I keep the lights after moving them into the 5x5?

Day 36. Big week . New light was added and rhythm changed to 12/12. Pot was top uped with 3 handfulls of BioBizz Worm Castings. 1.5 g of Biosys and 1.5 g of Great White were added too. After training she got 2l of water, slowest drinker at the moment. Girl got small defoliation, when you bent main top, one fan leaf is always staying in everyone's way, so he had to go. Think to do big clearing on day 14-18 of flower. Got first wave of LST, main top was lowered, couple leaves and one shoot were repositioned and secured too.. Genererally stem is thick, needed two places to tie, to make any movement, side shoots are developing evenly too, all thanks to : TS1000 by Mars Hydro, great light, did perfect job during veg period, now i added one more for better coverage of long tent. Think in tent 1x1m i could manage to flower all 3 without any ad ons .... Great small light for amazing price. Day 40. Girl develops nice and even, good colour and i am happy with her. Day 42. New training day, first time took so many away, girl lost 10-15 leaves, most were huge, no bottom clearing still. 2.5 liters of 6.3 water went in. Happy Growing !!!
