Plants started to show signs of overfeeding, so i decided to flush with ph neutral water with only alg-a-mic and a bit of calmag. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the plant to bounce back and recover from overfeeding?

In the past week, one of my Forum Stompers has gotten massive compared to the others. I'm not sure if it's different phenos or me just stressing them out. I'm guessing it's stress. Hopefully the other 3 start to hit their stretch this week. I did some defoliating this week, and spent a lot of time on the big tall one. She's really opened up and catching a lot of light. I'm hoping the branches really start to get heavy and frosty over the next couple of weeks.

behold the epic conclusion of my Medusa F1 odyssey! Week 11 brings us face to face with an absolute masterpiece – our mighty Medusa in all her glory. She has blossomed into a cannabis goddess, and I can't help but feel a mix of pride and hilarity. So, picture this: with scissors in hand and a grin on my face, I bravely took the plunge and performed the cosmic haircut of the century. I snipped the entire girl, leaving her looking like a botanical version of a cool, upside-down pineapple cake! It was a sight to behold, and I couldn't help but laugh at the quirky transformation. With our Medusa delicately suspended upside down, she's now getting ready for her final act of drying. It's like she's doing an acrobatic performance, waving her buds at us from above. Who knew cannabis cultivation could be so entertaining! In all seriousness, though, our Medusa's buds are absolutely mesmerizing. They've reached their peak density and glisten with an abundance of trichomes. The colors are a true botanical wonder, like a vibrant firework display against a night sky. Speaking of trichomes, I continue my daily trichome investigation with the precision of a detective. Each day, I observe those tiny resinous diamonds, searching for the magical moment when they're just right – cloudy with a hint of amber. And the aroma, oh the aroma! Terpenes fill the air with an intoxicating fragrance that makes my nose dance with joy. If only we could bottle this cosmic perfume! Before I conclude, I must extend my heartfelt gratitude once again to Royal Queen Seeds. Their Medusa F1 genetics have granted us this cannabis goddess, and I can't thank them enough for this delightful journey. As we prepare for the final chapter, drying and curing our Medusa to perfection, I invite you all to join me in celebrating the whimsy and wonder of cannabis cultivation. Let's cherish this upside-down adventure, savor the captivating colors, and delight in the celestial magic of our Medusa F1. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS MEDUSA F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

She boasts uniform grow traits, mouthwatering aromas and flavours, and plenty of potency. If you're looking to bring stable, elongated plants into your room, tent, or garden, look no further. Mouthwatering Aromas, High Potency, and Mid-Size Plants Though she won't turn you to stone like the mythical goddess after which she's named, Medusa F1 is bound to get you plenty stoned in her own special way. Combining genetics from inbred lines deriving from Sugar Magnolia, a thick and sweet indica, and American Beauty, a fast, fruity hybrid loved for its well-balanced, positive high, the result is an autoflowering F1 variety that produces fresh flavours, a unique cannabinoid profile, and large yields. A very aromatic cultivar with a vibrant concentration of terpenes bearing notes of fresh mint alongside an upfront peppery kick, backed up by hints of fresh fruit, berries, and tangy fuel. Her thick, frosty flowers consistently produce high levels of THC and CBG, as well as high concentrations of myrcene, ocimene, farnesene, and caryophyllene. As a result, Medusa F1 has strong effects that relax and stone the body from head to toe (brought on by particularly high concentrations of myrcene and farnesene) while motivating the mind with an uplifting, creative, and motivating kick (thanks to high concentrations of ocimene). Medusa F1 seeds produce elongated autoflowering plants with long, strong branches and well-spaced internodes. Plants regularly grow up to 80–85cm tall and boast a fast flowering time of just 42–45 days (72 days from germination to harvest). Thanks to her genetics, Medusa F1 produces plenty of thick flowers with big, swollen calyxes that make for very easy trimming. Medusa F1 is very stable, handling stress and unfavourable growing conditions with ease, though she is somewhat susceptible to Botrytis, so make sure to keep tabs on the humidity in your grow room/garden

Week 6 This Lady is up to 8 tops😎. Now I just have to get each top in the right locations at which point I’ll let them get a few nodes taller and then flip. This Lady is growing a little slower than her roommate (A Mimosa EVO) so I left a few extra fan leaves on her in the hopes that will speed her up a bit. I have noticed that this plant seems to throw the two main branches at a node but it also throws out additional branches. I’ve had a plant do this before and in my experience it makes the buds denser. We will see how it goes with this lady. Cooler internals are: 6.0 pH 0.4 EC 56 F solution temp. I can’t wait to flip the tent !!!! 🔥🔥 Onward 😎🍻

9/27 34 days old. Buds are coming on fast. This plant is in the corner of the tent and is not fully under the light. Buds are not growing as fast as the main plant. Still the plant is doing well for being so young. Fed today Fox Farm open sesame and Remo natures candy. 9/2 watered today. This plant is very oily and smells great.

Hi Guys, she seems to recover the slowest of the three plants I damaged in the seedling stage. I decided however to still give her a chance, as the root development looks promising. I have also transplanted her onto the DWC in the big tent. As I don’t have a dimmer for my sanlight, I have increased the lamp height to 65 cm above the canopy, so that she can slowly accustom to the light intensity. Nutrients remained the same.

This week we encountered some problems and we lost a couple of days of growth. It was smooth sailing up to here and maybe a little too smooth. I saw that the buds didn't develop right after the previous post last week. After dropping a question and establishing possible reasons I did some interventions to let the plants recover. I raised the light which was real close and temps were too high. Next to that I watered with just some normal tapwater as I suspected some too low PH. I started ventilating more to disperse the heat a little. These actions seemed to have helped as last couple of days I see some real fattening of the buds. This SP-3000 is real powerful and cant be as close as my previous leds. Again props to Mars Hydro and a big thank you to @MarsHydroLED!! Let's hope we do the last couple of weeks with less stress for all of us! Sorry for not posting any Sunshine posts, I have a Christmas surprise in store for those enjoying the mixed reality shots. For those who didn't like it, it will be the last you'll see of her, so she'll say goodbye at the same time! Thank you for following and all the likes, everybody! Take care and stay safe!! Hug Bud

The FBT5, a red strain sent to me by my welsh brother Z to the Pharma, this and the other one he sent me are gonna be my first red strains, though i was growing reds last time but i wasnt lol, so this is it, let's see how i do , hope they sprout ! I dipped these seeds overnight in water with a few drops of my specially made kelp extract and then I basically followed the RQS instructions for their propagator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt1-geupkt8 comes with this brown powder... no idea what it is though lol ! well i was nervous it wasnt gonna sprout but it very well did on day 2 and had roots sticking out day three, gave her a tea spoon of water on day 3 and transplanted her on day 5. Let's see how the purple punch does ! 🚀

🌈 LSD — Week 5 Veg Report 8×8 Tent | 12/12 From Seed & Short Veg Comparison 👋 Quick Welcome Welcome to everyone joining us now — and thank you for being here. This diary documents LSD genetics grown under a shared environment, with different early-life strategies (short veg vs 12/12 from seed), allowing us to observe how structure, vigor, and timing express themselves under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Overall Status — Week 5 All LSDs are doing beautifully — not as a figure of speech, but in structure, color, and behavior. • Strong vertical growth • Active lateral branching • Clear phenotypic differences depending on early light exposure • Early signs of pre-flower expression, which is fully expected at this stage There is no panic, no rush — just plants doing plant things. ⸻ Plant-by-Plant Observations 🌿 LSD #1 — Former Autopot Plant (Short Veg) • Initially placed in autopots • Showed early nutrient demand stress (“hangry” expression) • Removed from autopots and transitioned to regular feeding • Recovery is excellent: • Purple stems fading • Leaf color returning to healthy green • Strong upward momentum Structure & Behavior • 9–11 visible branches • Lower branches aggressively reaching upward • Clear sativa-leaning dominance in structure • Responds quickly to nutritional correction → a demanding but expressive genotype This plant tells us clearly: “Feed me, and I will perform.” ⸻ 🌿 LSD #2 — 12/12 From Seed • No autopot exposure • No nutrient issues observed • Grew entirely under 12/12 from seed Structure • 7–8 nodes • More compact internodal spacing • Heavy lateral branching • Balanced, controlled architecture Roots clearly prioritized first, followed by steady vertical growth — classic 12/12-from-seed behavior. ⸻ 🌿 LSD #3 — 12/12 From Seed (More Compact Expression) • Also 12/12 from seed • Even tighter internodal spacing than LSD #2 • Similar node count • Excellent symmetry and branch development This one reinforces the pattern: 12/12-from-seed LSDs are stacking nodes tightly while still branching hard. ⸻ 🔍 Key Insight — 12/12 From Seed Behavior This run is revealing something important: • These LSDs are vegging, structuring, and initiating pre-flower simultaneously • Behavior closely resembles autoflowers, despite being photoperiods • The same pattern is visible in the autoflowers sharing the room This suggests: • Time efficiency without sacrificing structure • Reduced “waiting” between phases • Early architectural decisions locked in sooner This is not a flaw — it’s a different rhythm. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals — What to Expect ✔️ Expect • Continued vertical stretch • Ongoing lateral branch expansion • Gradual, overlapping transition into flower • Plants “deciding” their final shape soon ❌ Don’t Expect • A sharp, sudden flip • A clean separation between veg and flower • Uniform behavior across all phenotypes These plants are layering growth stages, not switching them. ⸻ 🧠 Closing Thoughts This week confirms something important: When conditions are stable, plants don’t rush — they express. The differences we’re seeing are not problems. They are information. And we’re doing exactly what a good steward does: • observing • adapting • and letting the plants teach first 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.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

7/1: This plant has been extremely fun to watch do its thing over the last few weeks. Those little mistakes I made or neglected in my first grow have significantly helped me get off on the right foot this time around. Not to mention, I feel that the plant/genetics is fairly low maintenance. As I mentioned at the end of last week's entry, I started a little LST on the lower most node. Today, I have added landscaping staples to the second lowest node to allow it to stretch out and get more light from under the quickly growing top canopy. In addition to starting LST on the second lowest node, I did bring the light down to 16 inches above canopy at 60% power. This gives me a PPFD reading of roughly 750, which could be inaccurate due to using the phone app, but it still gives me a good idea of how much I should bump light power up each time. 7/3: Today was a big day for the Mrs. Gorilla Cookie. I decided it was time to add in a bit more soil as well as some amendments. I added 3tbsp of Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 and 1tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4. I then reapplied the landscaping staples to continue LST. The plants seem to be responding well to the light increase that I applied on 7/1. At the time, I was worried it would be too much, but the plant is really soaking it up and praying toward the light. I may increase the light a bit more at the end of the week. In addition, I plan to try out a self watering base toward the end of the week. I will going out of town soon for the remainder of July and need to test the base before I leave. I do have buddies that will help, but I would like things to be as easy as possible for them. I also hear great things on these self watering bases and if it works out will, I will definitely incorporate them into future grows. 7/6: The end of week 4 has come and this plant is really starting to kick into high gear. I do think adding in the bloom amendments really helped. Great, speedy growth, and looking green and healthy. Pistils have started to form and she's definitely starting to get a little stank. The lights are still at 60% but due to the constant growth the canopy raised causing the light to be 12 inches close and PPFD up to 950. I did notice a tiny bit of tacoing so I lifted the light a couple inches. I am now trying to keep them at a constant 14 inches above the canopy with a PPFD of around 850. I will likely hold off on adjusting the brightness for another few days, as I am liking the results I'm seeing. I started the plant on her self-watering base yesterday when I would have usually given it a feeding. Its only been a day, so its too soon to tell just how well its working, but the soil seems to be at a perfect moisture at all times. I did feed a little from the top today to help some of the nutrients that may still be at the top work its way into the pot. Overall, solid week. This grow is already shaping up to exceed my expectations and I feel pretty good about making it through the Veg stage in one piece. On to the flowering stage! WEEK 4 AVG TEMP: 72.9F WEEK 4 AVG HUMIDITY: 64.1%

Hey Growers, end of week 12 from seed Not much has changed this week, its been a slow bud growth. I feel it still needs to grow thicker, 2-3 weeks before flushing Smell is a bit stronger, hoping a sour flavor. It been difficult trying to maintain a steady humidity level due to weather outside. I will consider buying a stronger humidifier for my next grow. Trichomes are cloudy, no amber yet Some of the leaves have yellow-orange tips, this happened after I changed ph meters, my old one broke so I had to purchased a different ph meter at my local hydroponics store. Will keep you guys posted, see you next week
