After 48 hours, these things are beast. I thought they needed more time, I couldn’t judge how long they were. I had to dig them out of the paper towel, learned that I need to use cheaper paper towels. 6 out of 6 germinated on my first grow. Let’s keep the same growth going. ******************************* 14 Hours After Potting ************** TEMPS The most recent video showing the domes is 14 hours after potting them. The temps have been very stable at 83F and 70% humidity. My ambient temp outside of the tent is 70F. AIR FLOW I’m currently only running a 6 inch fan above the light for circulation. I have not used the exhaust, I think the idea at this stage is to keep humidity high, any thoughts would be great. LIGHTNING I do have my TSW on max and lowered the height to 36 inches it was almost twice the height yesterday. I didn’t want to make the change so drastic and waited a bit before lowering the height. WATERING The top soil did feel a bit dry and a little moist under. Under the dome it still looks very moist. I sprayed the plastic domes, I’m using distilled ph’d water. I did some light watering on the soil but I’m not sure how much water I should be using . Now that I lowered the height soil should dry out quicker, any thoughts?

Days 33-35 Both ladies have been transplanted and moved into the Veg tent! If you look in the video you can see the setup. Both are in 10.5"x10.5" square nursery pots approx 3Gal each. Both were put into happy frog soil using azos and recharge during transplant. I have them under an optic 8+ with a cob as supplemental lighting Day 37: A light defoliation day today, especially for #1. I removed all the mature fan leaves that were blocking any bud sites or nodes at all. Essentially leaving the top 2 mature leaves in tact. I honestly did not want to do this! It was heart wrenching to mutilate such a beautiful naturally growing plant 🤷‍♂️ practicality wins in the end tho. I removed the 2 oldest lowest fan leaves from #2 as well. More for sanitation reasons. They werent8blocking anything but the uh were dragging in the dirt and starting to fade anyhow. I actually kept 1 leaf. My 1st time ever doing this. The leaf is so neat, overlapping itself. *transplant update day 37* In my very green opinion they look to be struggling a bit with the transplant. I like to wet my medium prior to placing the rootball in, sometimes it's great and the roots chase it. Sometimes they get a little water logged and it takes a week b4 watering. I'm thinking it's the latter in this scenario. Day 38; #1's top fan leaves are rolling in again. I figured it was heat but the surface area doesn't get above 78° which from what I've read is fine. Maybe it's a strain issue? Looks very imdica, ma uh be is accustomed to a cooler climate? Day 39: I lowered #1 about a foot further from the light. She is still all curled up tho. It isn't heat. I watered them at transplant per my usual routine. 2 other plants stranded extremely bad and these 2 are acting goofy. I probably over did it that day Day 42 and 43 In day 42 CMOG #1 needed some water. It's her 1st drink since transplant. #2 on the other hand is drinking a bit less. I also took 2 upper fan leaves off #1(I hate doing it, but gotta promote those bud sites!! Day 43nothing really to report. I videotaped myself plucking a couple lower fan leaves. I'm raising the fan a bit more above #2 to keep wind stress down. Day 44: 🚨⛈️Emergency!!⛈️🚨 Power is out! My light cycle is as follows: on at 6pm off at 12pm. Its 2:45am right now and the power has gone out. Which was wierd because it went out b4 the storm hit! It was fricken midday when the outtage happen!! My poor Chocolate Mint OG 😖 keeping humididty down is gonna be hard and my grow is very far from and natural light source even if they were on the same cycle as nature 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ if ur reading this say a quick prayer! Thanks!!🙏✌️🌱

Day 43 - 12/12 flip day. Screen already getting unruly so going for the flip. That much green in there, I'll have difficulty working out what to do with it soon so its time for Autumn to hit!!! I know people have all different methods and this and that but just going straight into the 12/12 with the bloom feeds (Samuari has quite a bit of N in it still during bloom phase so should be less of a nute shock). Also trying some mineral water in there....@£1.10 for 5L (50L tank), hopefully less chlorine in there until I get some Ecothrive Neuteralise in there to keep the bennies safe! :) Changed over to the Sylvania Dual Spec HPS so hopefully the blue in there keeps the stretch somewhat limited (again, have saw people use MH for the 1st week or 2 to keep the plants down) but these girls are stumpy...no real vegging height to them and hopefully the screen adds to that. Per seeds description, max height should be 90-100cm so hopefully all stays like that. Now just to keep on top of the tucking and canopy management. Still betwixt and between if I'll lollipop/defoliate as the bottom leaves are a good source of feed (3 weeks still to consider) as I have to add humidity to the tent...it would sit round 35-40 in general under lights so not overly worried about mold environment plus have another fan I can get under the canopy for further air movement. Will add photos later, enjoy the time lapse of last week and happy growing all.

the weather forecast says 2 weeks of rain, it will be a challenge to keep the humidity low in the house and of course in the growbox.

This grow with the TSW2000, FC4800 and 8x8 Grow Tent has come to an end🤘🤘. I'm so happy with the results mars hydro has done👍. Best lights you can get in my opinion and TONS of other people agree with me on this too👍. I always say mars hydro gets em frosty and their lights DID get em nice and frosty and the buds are so tasty and smell awesome🤘. I trimmed up 6 plants so far. Got 9 more to go. And it seems like I get a 1liter Mason jar per plant and is about 2 ounces per plant. Some are a bit more than 2. Not a huge haul per plant but I'm still very happy with it because the quality is amazing. I will never want to use anything but MARS HYDRO. Extremely satisfied with the entire grow with mars. The weed quality is very good and controlling the heat was simple because they don't get that hot. The lights were very easy to setup and so was the tent.

Bubble Kush has started early flower, and unfortunately showing signs of Nitrogen excess. I am just watering with Trace and Biosys from now until mid flower. I will reassess at that time to see what's needed. I did not water this week. I will let her dry out properly before I do. Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out 😁💚✌️🌱🧡🤞

This was a fantastic plant to grow, and although it doesn't have the strongest resistance to mold, I think that if I were to grow it again I could avoid the issue. I am starting to figure out how to maximize my grow space! Come check out my next grow when you get a chance!

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

Following RQS auto guide : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83 WEEK 1: GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLING STAGE #1 15.3. - #7 21.3. 13.3. 23.30 Three pots has growth above, so will now start writing things for 1week. And still waiting for the purplematic to catch up :) -Added 1 more timelapse camera -Removed rest of the wraps -Added new potmarkers for better visibility in new "basecam" -Noticed water buildup behind coal filter added styrofoam pieces behind it to move it away from walls -Started the exhaus fan -Outside temp is now +2'c which is 'bout 17c degrees warmer then week ago, so everything is timing out just nice. -Again roamed around the tent so much that i accidentally seem to have moved my temp monitor so now the camera cant pick up its readins have to go move it a bit tomorrow, (moved, pic updated) also tought about getting a netatmo for remote readings But ended up ordering the basic 3-1 meter (the green knob version that has light, hum, ph on switch) 14.3. Added 1st timelapse "test" video, can see the growth of 2nd leaf pair. (updated) -Also ordered some "BioBizz Bio-Grow" nutes for growperiod -For now will only add some basic info without exact metrics and just 1 pic from the "skycam" and one from the "basecam" 15.3. Updated pics and test video to have one more day in it. Will water (watered 11th or 12.3. 1½liters each) and updated info 16.3 at some point 16.3. Added a longer timelapse vid from base cam about "Dancing seedlings" (The one in the left down corner is not visible in "basecam" yet.) All 4 out of 4 have now germinated and grown above ground. Added 1ltr of water around the plants, so about 2dl / pot. Nutes i've thrown in raw few days ago few splashes here and there aroudn the soil. The bio-grow order arrived, will be adding that around thursday. Also decided to change the week rhytm so that a week always starts on monday and ends on sunday, so i can be more clear on what week or which day of a current week is going on. (so even thou its now "4th" day of this week, im counting it as a 2nd day as its tuesday) 18.3. Mixed about 2ml of biobizz grow to a 1,5liter of water, stirred and tossed at the plants, keeping up with current reported watering amount (about 2,5dl/every2nd day) Checked the lux, moist,ph with the 3in1 meter. Luxes were about 200, will throw in my other ESL in the tent also, maybe during weekend. That should also heat the tent up a bit for better temps. PH 7+, i think, if i read the meter correctly or use it correctly, so ordered bottles of Canna PH- grow and Canna PH- bloom. Moist was 5/10-7/10 so "moist"-level between dry and wet Moved the basecam around and 2 plants (obviously with soil etc) so all 4 are more visible in the timelapse (uploaded newest timelapse) Also hoping for the winter to pass on already so i get higher temps and better grow, plants seem to be taking a bit longer to grow at these sub20 temps. Well it should warmp up in a 1-2weeks. Currently night temp outside -6'c. Would like it to go up a 10-15degrees. Dont want to turn off the exhaust to warm up either. Will see if the additional lamp helps, cant remember if it was 100,120,150w ESL or so. (edit: checked, was 65w, will wire it now 20.3) 20.3. Watered the plants with nutes and updated the nute amounts, about 1,5liters divided in 4pots, so about 3,5dl each, then again the pots are "huge" so... Still the growth for the roots and above ground is very slow and possibly because the temps are so low, it should start to go above +'c degrees again starting 22.3. so next week. Hopefully will wire up the 65ESL today, and maybe install tomorrow then, that should give a little temp boost, i would also have a 200w heater i could add in the tent, but not surr if i will... Will update the timelapse tomorrow after 2nd ESL install. 21.3. Added the 65watt ESL lamp (blue) and put it closest to solomatic which is least grown so far Added timer to exhaus fan so now its 50% off and 50% on, to raise temperatures, immeadiate effect was about +3degrees after lamp and fan adjstm. So now temp inside tent (above plants and exhaust point) is 25,8+'c Updated timelapse video to lastest and while inspecting it ->OMG the other purplematic seed can also be seen dancing up, just under the 3-1 meter, thought one of them wouldn't make it, but there she is. So now there is 5 plants , will see if i'll keep both purples' depens how they fit in the same space, would be intresting thou. Also as i always talk about weather outside... now between +3'c and +5'c so hopefully we stay in this and go just upwards, so the air gets more moist and warmer also inside the tent 21.3. 8hours after exhaust fan 50% and 65w more CFL, the tent is now at up to 26,1'c which is so far the highest, so will keep it like this for a while, now have to see what to do with lux and moist, ordered moist meter i can just leave there and will be visible in the cam. Also ordered a lux meter, im sure there is more lux then the 300 the 3in1 meter showd, 'cause with my telephone i got 2300lux of the same LED which i have 2 in the tent, (using one in house for other plants) 21.3. 23.xx Just noticed this was the last day of the first week, wouldn't even notice the growth without the daily check of the timelapse :) that really helps out. Hottest tent temp been that 26 and now "night temp" at 24. So this is way better than that 10degrees less ;) I'll update with new "proper" pictures the start of new week and open it up "tomorrow"(maybe).

🌸 The White OG – Week 2 Flower Strain: TheWhite OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: 2nd Week Flower / Week 13 from Germination Grower: DogDoctor Pot: 30L Fabric Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae Lighting: FOG LED Controlled by: TrolMaster Environment: 🌿 🔆 Light Schedule: 11/13 (Light/Dark) 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: 1.26 🌡️ Water Temp: 18.6°C ⸻ 💥 Let the Bloom Begin We’ve officially entered Week 2 of Flower—and you can see the shift. ✨ The canopy is full ✨ The stretch is slowing ✨ And the first signs of flowers are popping up! Tiny clusters forming, her energy turning inward to begin building her crown. This is a foundational moment. What we do now will shape the rest of her flowering cycle. And for White OG, it’s looking like she’s going to be a big mama, just as we’d hoped. 🌿 ⸻ Feeding: The Aptus Clean Program with Breakout Powder This week’s feeding is a carefully balanced clean recipe—precision, not excess. 💧 Order of Mix 1. Regulator – Strength and cell structure 2. System Clean – Sanitation and oxygen boost 3. RO Water Conditioner – Unlocks nutrient uptake 4. All-in-One Liquid – Balanced base nutrients 5. Breakout Powder – The flower kickstarter 🌸 Why Breakout Now? Week 2 of flower is when we want to nudge the girl gently into full reproductive mode. Breakout powder provides the phosphorus and potassium bump needed to stimulate early bud formation and drive more focused energy into flower sites. Not too early. Not too late. This timing is just right. 🧠 ⸻ 📈 Metrics That Matter • Final pH after mix: 6.0 – ideal absorption • EC: 1.26 – strong but not heavy • Water Temp: 18.6°C – slightly cool, but within range This is a recipe that’s been tried, tested, and it’s clearly working. Her leaves are loving it, and her roots are thriving. ⸻ 🌿 Canopy Goals She’s taking to the Scrog beautifully—spreading, reaching, stacking. You can feel her momentum building. The defoliation we did earlier paid off. She’s getting light where she needs it and airflow is perfect. You can already feel her presence. She’s not just growing—she’s preparing for bloom with intention. ⸻ ❤️ Thank You to the Dream Team • Seedsman Seeds – for giving us these genetics to explore • Aptus Holland – for their clean and powerful feeding philosophy • FOG LEDs & TrolMaster – for total environmental control • GrowDiaries – for the platform to share, learn, connect • To the community—friends, haters, lovers, fellow growers—you are all part of the rhythm • And of course, to Instagram, where we keep the vibes flowing daily 🌈 👉 Come join the journey at [@DogDoctorOfficial] 🎉 Don’t miss the Dognabis Cup - 1st Edition now open! ⸻ 🌙 Final Thoughts This week, we don’t rush her—we guide her. White OG is stepping into her flower phase with grace and strength. The roots are fed, the canopy is full, and the energy is shifting. One week closer to the magic. Let’s trust the process, respect the plant, and enjoy the ride. 🚀 With Growers Love, DogDoctor 🐾💚 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 🙏
