The girls are starting to wrap up their cycle. I have been watching the trichomes closely, and we are getting very close

I like my garden clean and free of disease😁

The cannabis plant is generally growing well and is progressing as expected during the flowering stage. Despite the positive overall growth, brown spots have appeared on some of the leaves and I dont really know what it is. While the appearance of brown spots is concerning, the overall health of the cannabis plant remains good. With careful monitoring and appropriate adjustments, the plant should continue to develop successfully. It will be exciting to see how the plant progresses as it matures, even if its growth rate is somewhat slower than expected.

Wollte eigentlich ein paar Blätter weg machen vor dem Trocknen das war allerdings durch den massiven Geruch einfach nicht möglich.

Cambio liquidos a floración por ver ya sus flores, muy contento con los resultados, la poda justo a tiempo. He tenido un problema con la mesa A, una de las luces se ha fundido, la sustituyo por una de 4200k mismo voltage, hasta que la marca me lo reemplaze por defectuosa.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 5 — 12/12 From Seed Stage: Pre-Flower / First Flower (Transitional Week) This week marks the true transition point. The plants are simultaneously vegetating, stretching, and initiating flower signals. Growth is active in all directions, and structure is beginning to lock in. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Growth • Height: ~25 cm (± a little, depending on individual) • Overall shape: flat, round, bushy canopy • Internodal spacing: tight and controlled • Branching: strong, symmetrical, and responsive The plants are opening beautifully. Branches are asserting themselves naturally, with no forcing — just guidance. Uniformity across the girls is striking. Similar structure, similar pace, similar “language.” That consistency speaks volumes about both genetics and environment. ⸻ ✋ Training Focus (More Intensive, Still Gentle) This week we increased training in intention, not aggression: • Leaf tucking and bending only • No topping, no cutting • Leaves are guided under growth tips to promote lateral branching Response has been excellent. Each adjustment is followed by visible compensation and expansion. The plants want to branch — we’re simply making space for it. ⸻ 🌱 Root Activity Roots are now visibly emerging at the soil surface — a clear sign of: • Healthy root pressure • Active microbial and enzymatic processes • A plant fully connected to its medium This is exactly what we want to see at this stage. ⸻ ✨ Plant Health & “Mood” • Leaves: healthy green, good turgor • Stems: thickening, flexible, well-supported • Resin: early stickiness already present • Overall response: calm, strong, cooperative Everything indicates balance rather than stress. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update — Under-Canopy Introduction By the end of this week, under-canopy lighting is being connected. Why now? • Plants are passing key developmental signals • We want them to recognize photons from below early • This helps guide structure, awareness, and later flower density We are not forcing PPFD. We are letting the plants grow into the light, learning where energy exists above and below. ⸻ Nutrient Adjustment — Cal-Mag Introduced This week we introduce Cal-Mag into the recipe. Reason: Our water source is a blend of: • Humidifier water • Rainwater Both are naturally low in calcium and magnesium. As demand increases during stretch and early flower signaling, supplementation becomes necessary to: • Support cell wall development • Prevent future deficiencies • Maintain structural strength during expansion This is a preventive, not reactive adjustment. ⸻ 🌸 Autoflowers × 12/12 From Seed For anyone still questioning this approach: These plants are the answer. Branching. Structure. Vigor. Uniformity. They are doing everything they should be doing — and doing it beautifully. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next (Week 6) • Continued stretch with stronger apical definition • Clearer pre-flower expression • Increased lateral dominance • Canopy filling outward rather than upward • Light demand gradually increasing Training will remain observational and responsive, not aggressive. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thank you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and sharing this space. All major observations this week are fully photo- and video-documented — from canopy to stem to soil — so you can see what’s being described. We move forward calmly, attentively, and with respect for the plant. Let them shine 🌱✨ Training Philosophy: Why Less Touch Often Equals More Structure At this stage, training is not about control — it’s about communication. Every time we touch a plant, it responds hormonally. Too much intervention can interrupt its own decision-making process, especially during transitional weeks like pre-flower. By tucking and bending instead of cutting, we allow the plant to: • Maintain uninterrupted growth momentum • Redistribute auxins naturally rather than abruptly • Strengthen stems through adaptive response • Decide where and how to branch based on light signals Less touch doesn’t mean less guidance. It means clearer signals and cleaner structure. When the environment is stable and the plant is healthy, minimal intervention often results in: • More uniform branching • Stronger symmetry • Reduced stress expression • Better long-term flower support In short: We don’t force shape — we make space, and the plant does the rest. Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

Hiiigh friends 🙌 Welcome to week 5. 😍 The pretty ones have gained a lot of mass and have grown big and strong. This means they are continuing to train diligently.. 😊 See you next week. 👋 Arturo for KannaKullektiv 🙏

Die Umwelt Bedingungen sind genau wie in der Woche 1... Temperatur min max = 21 grad in der Nacht, 26 am Tag. Luftfeuchtigkeit min max-= 58-66 %. Jeden 2 Tag die Pflanzen gegossen mit PH 5,9. Insgesamt bin ich mit der Entwicklung zufrieden, da es keine Probleme gab.

Looking okay, the highest leaves are burning quite a lot, but I’m not worried a lot as the buds are forming nicely. I’ll be feeding a little less from now on as she doesn’t seem to need a full dose every watering.

This strain of Kings kush is a smelly one, I still can put my finger on the terp profile yet. Almost a kushy herby dank is all I can describe atm. Growing these plants, I would suggest pruning every second node once you get her into flower since the bugs tend to push up against each other and may cause bud rot. Say ontop of defoliation and try to qork on them on a daily basis rather than lolipoping. Another key thing is to keep rH in range during flower, I will recomend to set it to 40-50rh in flower. Also if you are growing outdoors, Be sure to cover them up during rain when in flowering, I uses a transparent tarp for the last 5 weeks of flower. Save my plants from 9 huge rain events during the last 5 weeks, my plants would of died from br. This strain had some decent cold resistance also! She stay alive with with few events of temps getting down to 4 deg c.

Hello the greater community that is GROWDIARIES!!! This week has been well, uplifting should I say! Two weeks ago I was pretty dismal, I had one out if three auto flowers. I had high hope for this grow with RQS being g pretty reputable, but all was going wrong! Then! with a little help from my friends here on GrowDiaries, I was inspired to carry on lol! Now a fortnight later, I'm my opinion, things have turned a corner! I'm seeing flowering behaviour again from these three that were completely stuck in veg! So I'm happy :) Supercropped the big sativa. Just made sense. Only one hasn't been HST, the runt who is actually most progressed of the three. Followed by big sativa. Feeds are pretty unique for each plant so just ask, but the one shown relates to the one in flower. Summary: 1 auto 3 photo periods all under 12/12 for the past 2 weeks. Thanks for taking a nosey!

Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth. Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become. Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training. Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided. Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation. A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain. Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚 As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world 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 blessed with you all in my life

Change Friday. First week of flush

Schönen Sonntag euch 💚 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche ist etwas Ruhe eingekehrt =) Alles läuft wieder stabil. Seitdem ich pH+ hinzugezogen habe, ist der Drift wieder voll im Rahmen, und die Damen entwickeln sich zum Glück allesamt weiter. Da es aktuell nicht so viel aus dem Run selbst zu berichten gibt, wollte ich einfach ein paar Dinge teilen, die ich in Zukunft zumindest mit meinem Aufbau anders machen werde =) Fangen wir mit dem 4×4-Cross an 🌿 Auf jeden Fall eine super spannende Geschichte. Es ist wirklich interessant zu beobachten, wie die verschiedenen Genetiken auf das gleiche Environment reagieren und sich zueinander entwickeln 😊 Und sind wir ehrlich, wer hat nicht gerne ein bisschen Auswahl =D Allerdings finde ich, es braucht sehr viel Zeit und Fingerspitzengefühl, einen EC-Bereich zu finden, in dem sich alle gleichzeitig gleich wohl fühlen. Und das, obwohl ich darauf geachtet habe, dass alle von ihrer Entwicklungszeit und dem bekannten EC-Bedarf nicht zu weit auseinanderliegen. Für Single-Reservoirs eher suboptimal, finde ich zumindest 😊 Hier werde ich in Zukunft eher zu 2×2-Cross tendieren und schauen, wie sich das verhält. Der hohe EC hat sich auch echt gut getragen, bis ich ins frühe Bulking geswitcht bin 🔥 Ab da hat mir dann mein weiches Wasser feinstens einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht =D Die Kette verlief etwa so, dass insbesondere Notorious mit dem EC deutlich zu kämpfen hatte. Daraufhin habe ich die Lösung – wie immer – berechnet entspannt angepasst. Als ich den Eindruck hatte, dass sie wieder deutlich besser dasteht, habe ich bemerkt, dass ich durch das Verdünnen der Lösung 💧 und meinem weichem Wasser in einen schleichenden pH-Drift gerutscht bin.. Zu der Zeit hat es leider etwas gedauert, pH+ zu beschaffen. Jop auch son Ding hätte man ja vorher wissen können :D :D Letztendlich standen sie Dadurch nach dem Entspannen der Lösung phasenweise in ziemlich niedrigem pH , was wiederum für verlangsamte Aufnahme bzw. teilweise vielleicht auch schon für Lockouts gesorgt hat. Beim nächsten Run wird der EC wieder defensiver gefahren und vor allem mein Wasser direkt von Beginn an gepuffert 💧😊 Sonst bin ich wirklich happy, wie es bis hier lief – es sieht schon wieder alles besser aus =D 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake ist nach wie vor absoluter Performer 🔥Ich glaube, hier hätte man sogar noch mehr pushen können =D Selbst unter den stressigen Bedingungen läuft sie wirklich erstaunlich stabil. Sie hat schön gefrostete Blüten und der Blaubeer-Geruch hat sich etwas gesetzt. Riecht mega lecker – freue mich schon auf den Test 😊 Purpz hat leider doch mehr reagiert, als ich es gehofft habe.. Ich glaube, das war hier am Ende einfach zu viel auf einmal. Sie hängt immer noch etwas nach, und ich habe allgemein den Eindruck sie ist momentan eher entspannt unterwegs 🌱 Ihre Buds gefallen mir trotzdem echt gut – bin gespannt, was hier im Finish noch kommt 😊 Riecht mittlerweile sehr fruchtig. Notorious hat ihre Pause beendet =D Sie legt langsam wieder los.. Allerdings war es hier sichtbar zu viel – erst der hohe EC, dann die pH-Thematik, all on me 🤷‍♂️😅 Ich bin froh, dass sie überhaupt noch weitermacht 💚 und nicht alles mit Nanners verpestet. Dass sie trotzdem langsam, aber sichtbar wieder zurückfindet, fasziniert mich ✨ Bis auf die geschädigten Blätter, die nach und nach abwelken, steht sie aktuell wieder solide da. Guzzlerz macht wie BBCC einen guten Eindruck 😄 Ich hatte eine Nachtphase mit temp-bedingtem VPD-Peak, da hat sie kurz die Blätter hängen lassen 🍃 Sonst gibt es nur Gutes zu berichten =) Schöne Frostbildung nach wie vor, Stacking ist im vollen Gange. Man erkennt es auf den Bildern leider nicht gut, aber ich finde, sie schimmert leicht bläulich 😊 ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren 🔄 VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm EC: 1.500–1.600 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Vielen Dank mal wieder fürs Lesen 😊🙏 Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Woche 💚 und fette Buds 🔥😄

This year is really like no other regarding the weather! Girls still fattening nicely! We had the two first and only rainy days since two month so I covered them, don't wanna take any risk of but rot and co! Trichomes are huge! As it is very tricky to take live macro shots outdoor with the permanent little breeze we have here I may not be able to show nice pics of them but I tell you I never saw such big trichs! Those new genetics are amazing! See you next week

Comme d'habitude toujours une valeur sûre Très résistant au topping et autres stress vraiment gros bourgeons très compacte et résineux

Added side lighting on day 10, 2X30 true watt thin led panels. So now I got 2x100 watt, 1x70 watt and 2X30 watt LED lights for a total of 330 true LED watts. Its very bright. I introduced them too a very light feed solution yesterday when they woke up. They seemed too perk up right after. I have been working on trying to get a time lapse working. I have been testing it and trying to get the bugs worked out. Maybe next week I will have some time lapse footage for you all...Maybe.

Day1: Father and child both doing well after a successful and happy birth. Day 2: The stem stretched a bit further than I would have liked so I’ve added another layer of soil to build up around the stem and I’ve moved the light a bit closer. Looks good now. Day 3: Continued to use the Force to make the seedling grow. It’s looking happy and healthy. It’s tedious work just standing there 18hrs a day. Day 4: Another good day of growing. I had R2 telling me dirty jokes to keep me distracted from the monotony of the task. Put some water around the stem just to dampen it down a bit. Day 5: Nothing to report. It’s already starting to feel like I’ve been here for a light year but Mr.Nelson said he’ll be bringing round some bud soon so that should help with the boredom. He said it’s important that I learn for myself by actually trying it, the difference between Indica and Sativa. Day 6: Dampened down soil around seedlings 🌱 Day 7: A week down and everything is looking good. Dampened down soil again today around seedling 🌱

🌱 Week 6 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Croco Adventure 🌱 Hey, Grow Fam! It’s week 6 in our Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco veg journey, and what a ride it’s been! These mutants are taking their sweet time growing, but with each passing day, I’m falling more in love with their quirky, unique beauty. Every plant is a masterpiece of nature—peculiar and stunning in its own way. 💚 Growth Highlights: The slow and steady growth continues to reflect their resilience. These Croco beauties are thriving despite cooler temperatures this week—daytime temps sitting around 18°C and dropping to 14°C at night, paired with 65% RH. They’re proving to be tough little warriors, adapting to the environment like champs! Even though their growth is slower than usual, the details in their leaves are breathtaking. Each plant has its own story to tell, and I’m loving the diversity in structure, color, and patterns. It’s like watching art unfold in slow motion. 🎨 Nutrition Update: This week, I’ve kept feeding consistent with Aptus Holland nutrients—but remember, we phased out the liquid All-in-One formula since the All-in-One Pellets provide everything they need for now. Here’s the mix for this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – Building resilience and helping them adapt to the colder temps. • Start Booster: 0.25 ml/L – Encouraging root health and giving them a gentle push forward. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – Supporting robust leaf growth and preventing deficiencies in these chilly conditions. The pellets are doing a fantastic job of slowly releasing nutrients, ensuring that the plants get a steady supply without any risk of overfeeding. Aptus Holland’s organic-mineral blend continues to impress me with its balance and efficiency. Truly a grower’s best friend! Decisions Pending: Flip or Clone? I’m still holding off on flipping to flower or taking clones. With their slow growth, I want to give them all the time they need to reach a size where I can confidently determine sex. Whether I decide to flip for a week and revert, or take clones for sexing, will depend on how they progress in the next couple of weeks. It’s a reminder to embrace patience in growing. Every strain, every phenotype, every plant teaches us something unique about nurturing life. 🌿 The Beauty of Photography: This week, I brought out my trusty Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR to capture the intricate details of these plants. From the mesmerizing leaf patterns to water droplets reflecting their surroundings, these frames truly showcase their unique personalities. Why Cameras Over Phones? • Lens Power: Swapping out lenses allows me to get super close for those macro shots, capturing details that even the best phones can’t touch. • Dynamic Range: Cameras handle light and shadow better, making every photo a true work of art. • Depth of Field: Blurring the background helps highlight each plant’s unique features. Sure, phone cameras are convenient, but nothing beats the joy of immortalizing these beauties with the precision and creativity of a good DSLR or mirrorless camera. 📸 Shoutouts & Love: Massive thanks to Terpyz Mutant Genetics for these fascinating seeds, Aptus Holland for keeping the nutrition game strong, Pro-Mix Soil for the rich growing medium, and Future of Grow for providing stellar lighting! A big shoutout to TrolMaster for making environmental control a breeze, and to Grow Diaries for being such an incredible platform to share this journey. Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to the entire community—followers, supporters, and even the curious passersby. Your love, questions, and feedback fuel this adventure! Final Thoughts: This week has been all about patience, adaptation, and marveling at the uniqueness of nature. Each plant is a little piece of art, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to nurture and share their journey.

She is really starting to smell now. Hairs are turning orange and shes looking great. I just got a USB Microscope and checked the trichomes and they are looking mostly clear with some cloudy,
