WEEK 10 - 10/4/2021 - 16/4/2021 10/4/2021 - Day 1 flowering! 13/4/2021 - Something came up and I have to leave my plants for 2 days. I thought of hooking it up to Autopot again but then I would have to do a major flush again and that would stress the plants. I think they can wait for 48 hours. I'll fertigate again before lights off tonight. 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 5ml/Gal - 100ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 20ml Chitosan Olligosaccharide  - About 30 ml. I ran out of pH down and improvised with Chitosan. Managed to bring down the pH to 6.2. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome! :) pH - 6.21 EC - 1.28 mS/cm T - 26 14/4/2021 - The HLG 550 light seem a little dim these past week. After checking with a Quantum PAR meter, the PPFD was only around 400 mid section at 24 inches height from canopy. At first I thought it was the LED diodes but after disconecting the dimmer potentiometer, the PPFD went up to 1200. So it was the dimmer malfunction. So I just left the light as full brightness 24 inches above canopy since the girls are in bloom now, 16/4/2021 - Major defoliation done for all 8 plants. Basically removed any large leaves shading the lower nodes as well as to improve air circulation. Did supercropping on several branches to maintain even canopy.

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 5 From Seed (12/12 Run) Hello everyone, welcome to another update, and a big thank you to everyone following along, newcomers, longtime readers, sponsors, platform, and of course the breeders and creators behind these genetics. It truly means a lot to share this journey together. For those just joining: this is a 12/12 from seed run, approached gently and observationally. No rush, no aggression, just letting the plants express themselves while we listen closely. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions • Temperature: 21°C • Relative Humidity: ~58% • Outside conditions: 4–5°C with 90–98% RH Given what’s happening outside, I’m actually very happy with how stable the room is staying. The plants seem to agree, posture, color, and overall vigor are excellent. • CO₂: ~666 ppm For now, this is perfectly fine. No need to push or supplement — steady and natural. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy (Top + Under Canopy) At the start of the week: • Only top lights are running • Power: 100% • PPFD: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) As the plants stretch and rise above the under-canopy fixtures, we’re now introducing under-canopy lighting: • Lumiflora under-canopy lights • Starting at 30% power This is very intentional. The goal isn’t to blast the plants, but to teach them that light and photons will be arriving from more than one direction. We want a gentle adaptation — letting the plant reorganize how it uses light rather than forcing it. Power will be increased later, but right now it’s all about adjustment, not intensity. ⸻ 🌿 Training Approach (or lack of it) Because this is a 12/12 from seed run, we are being extremely conservative. • No topping • No hard training • No defoliation The only work being done: • Leaf tucking • Gentle leaf bending And the response has been incredible. These girls are reacting with: • Tight internodes • Bushy structure • Calm, confident growth Sometimes, truly, less touch = better performance. ⸻ 🌱 The Triple-Branching Lady (Main Focus of the Week) This week’s highlight is one very special plant showing clear triple branching. At each node, instead of the usual two shoots, she’s producing three distinct branches, stacking from the bottom all the way up. The structure almost looks like she’s tucking herself naturally, creating a dense but elegant framework. This is not something we forced. It’s purely genetic expression meeting the right conditions. She looks happy. She looks calm. And she looks like she’s planning something special. We’ll be doing a dedicated report on her by the end of the week, because this kind of morphology deserves proper documentation. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition Strategy Water Source We’re using a mix of: • Rainwater • Dehumidifier-collected water This water is extremely soft, so this week we introduced something new: ➕ CalMag Pro Not because the plants were asking — but thinking ahead. Before adding nutrition, we want a proper mineral foundation. This helps stabilize uptake and prevents issues before they even show up. Aside from that: • No changes to the main recipe • Everything remains steady and predictable ⸻ Two Systems, One Tent (Why Autopots + Hand Watering) We currently have two feeding approaches in the same tent: 🔹 Autopots (6 plants) • Mineral-only feeding • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 Organics and autopots generally don’t play well together. Organics are alive, they change over time, they ferment, pH drifts, and control becomes very difficult when solution sits for long periods. It’s not just about smell — it’s about stability. 🔹 Hand-Watered Plants (including the Skywalker OGs) • EC: 1.43 • pH: 5.9 With organics, hand watering gives: • Better control • Individual feeding per plant • The ability to respond to how each plant drinks and eats And honestly? I love this approach. Each plant gets treated as an individual, not a number. ⸻ 🌿 Overall Plant Health • Deep, lush green • Strong structure • Bushy growth everywhere • No signs of stress This run honestly feels too good to be true sometimes — but it’s real, and it’s exciting. ⸻ 🔍 Growth Stage & What to Expect Next Even though this is Week 5 from seed, the plants are still finishing what I’d call their last week of veg. By the end of this week, we’re starting to see: • Clear pre-flower signs • Early transition into flowering behavior This is a very important phase. The plant is deciding how it wants to flower — structure, spacing, and energy distribution are all being set right now. What to expect next week: • More visible pre-flower development • Stretch continuation • Increased response to under-canopy lighting What not to expect: • Heavy defoliation • Aggressive intervention • Rushed decisions We’ll continue to observe gently and respond calmly. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thanks Thank you again to: • Everyone following along • The OGs and the newcomers • The sponsors and the platform • And especially the genetics that make moments like this possible This is a joy to document, and an honor to share. More soon, especially on that triple-branching beauty 🌱 As always, feel free to share thoughts, observations, or just enjoy the ride with us. 👽 New team member Meet Mr. Baggy Our new fluffy alien/beaver/whatever-he-is friend, won through a Grow Diaries contest. Expect to see him around — he’s officially part of the grow now. 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.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

2026_08_08 _Setup I rotated the pot again (back to its original position) because the plant is actually growing 'too vigorously' and is already touching the wall. This gives it more space and makes it easier to shape it into a more even canopy. _Living Soil I got a little weevil! _Plants Although there were some slight imbalances in recent weeks, there are no longer any signs of a deficiency. Even the tips of the leaves are completely green.

Hello and thank you for stopping by, this is the start of week 4 of flower for this Sour Diesel Auto from Fast Buds. Everything seems to be going just fine still waiting on my beneficial nematodes to come in the mail so we can take care of the gnat larvae issue that I have going on. I am planning on getting some yellow sticky pads as well. This Sour Diesel Auto is starting to pack on some frost and some gassy smells. I am top dressing with 484 and worm castings every 7 to 10 days and watering with a pH of 6.5 of dechlorinated tap water. Nothing much else to say as everything is going smoothly with little to no effort thanks to my organic style of growing. Stay tuned for some more gassy frost next week! ✌️

27.2.25: Watermelon 🍉 and Purple Lemonade 💜🍋 are both far below the scrog net, they've definitely stopped stretching now. My LST on these was much worse than even just using the net. 😅 That was certainly a valuable takeaway. I'm sure Purple Lemonade 💜🍋 will be good. Watermelon 🍉 was so stunted. It's not a tall strain, usually either, but nevertheless, the buds there are looking very frosty and are very, very sticky! 😅 Should be a good smoke, eventually, 🤗 just won't be much to bag unfortunately.

This thing was very easy to grow. Liked low PPMs in flower. Around 600 was plenty for her. Will report taste and effects when curing is complete.

Again I’ll start by saying.... I DID NOT use bud ignitor and bud blood in the same solution! I’m using bud blood on the rear and bud ignitor on the front ones! I’m so proud of my girls can’t wait until next week with some close ups of them forming buds! I’m so happy to be where I’m at with these girls all I’ve we heard is amazing things about this strain so to be so ahead with them makes me super proud!

After 1 week of growing, the Blue Dream'Matic is doing well. I am going to slowly increase its nutrient solution strength and lower the lights to dial in some stronger growing conditions. It has been enjoying 1-2 times a day fertigation so I think the coco medium is draining well. I have included a time lapse of the first week of growth. I am working out the kinks of the setup, so the video is a bit messed up towards the end, but it shows potential that I am going to keep working on! Day 8: transplanted to a larger pot as a significant number of roots were growing out of the seedling bag. Day 9: It looks like there has been a cal-mag or root issue affecting the first set of leaves, which grew in while there was a lower nutrient EC. The new growth has not been showing the same issue, so hopefully the issue has been resolved. Thanks for reading, and happy growing!

The plants have been drinking up water rapidly with the increased heat, I have stopped using individual gallons and now started using a hose in order to speed up the process. They seem to take about 2-3 gallons each while the larger plant I have been trying to water until I see small amounts trickling out near the bottom. Will give them a second round of organic granular feeding soon! I also started to notice this week that there are a good amount of small black flies above soil. I will have to take care of this sooner than later

The Royal Cheese Automatic stop growing the branches on top only the two lowest branches grow even further... So I bend her down so that the low branches can get the new tops... Hope this will work. All the other plants doing good and growing along nicely!

Pics from day 68. Anyone know why the left side is so much more developed?? I’m beginning to think there is no way I’ll be able to harvest everything at the same time.. Took a week long vacation and had a buddy watching the plants for the last 7 days. Everything is still looking good. Back left has some slight lockout that’s occurred. I have cleaned all the salts out of the reservoir. Tomorrow will be a defoliation day on the right side of the tent.

It's the last few days for Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle. I think I'll be able to harvest her early next week. The smell is lemony, and the buds slowly take on the shape of a lemon 🍋🍋🍋
