Getting near the end. BB2 and GG2 showing mostly milky/ cloudy trichomes with some amber. These two showed the deficiencies and have been flushed on day 76. One more flush and they will be harvested first. BB1 and GG1 look to be about a week later.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 25/10/2019 - First feed I gave her 0.25ml on 250ml of water of Biobizz-Grow, with 6.5ph. 26/10/2019 - Leafs looking a bit crooked, and some pale spot lets hope its not fungus. (gave her 100ml of just PH 6.5 water) 27/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml Biobizz Grow, 6.4PH (changed feeding to once every 2 days with a plain water interval) 28/10/2019 - Started LST 30/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml of each Biobizz - Grow,Bloom and Max, 6.3PH, added carbon filter and it raised the temps to 29c 31/10/2019 - A tad too much of nuts, little burn tip. (Sensi Seeds warned me but I still goofed it)

July 14: it’s getting hard to measure how tall she is. I’m 6’2” and it is further than I can reach. For scale it is in a full size garbage (not that you can really see it in some pics). July 15: looks to still be growing fast. This plant is too tall and cannot be forever flowered like the other photoperiods. It’s starting to flower and is supposedly a late Sept or early October finish. July 16: double rainbow after thunder showers. Did a major defoliation on the three big manifolded plants.

So the tall royal gorilla( second from the left in the back. that, to me , looks like it has horrible genetics or it just couldn't handle the stress of topping and the burn. It's still gunna produce well just. Scrawny. My critical thunder from msnl is shorttttttt love it for an Afghan cross. And the most green. And full. Lots of calyxes are forming finally. I removed the, now clear , male from the tent and I did something...... Well white trash ( no pun intended) . In my eyes. But in a ingenuity kind of way. I got a cheap ass rolling trashcan meant for outdoors. Like 20$. I already had an extra. So I put the male in it and it fit perfectly. Cut off everything from the plant except the top of the two main stalks. It fits perfectly. I put a old light I used to use for seedlings in the top. And threw a light blanket over it. . I have it on the other side of the house. . Check the video. It's actually kinda cool 😂 Also feeding their flowering nutes next week. In SMALL amounts. I did add bud honey. Which does the same as just good molasses but better. This soil has a lot of micros and macros that'll love it. But the rest of the girls are going fine and I'll be starting a new diary for be on the look out 😎

Belle floraison avec des tache violette

Three weeks into flower and things are moving along. I defoliated some of the lower branches and spread out a few branches here and there. Other than that it's the same situation as always. Nutrients are pumping and lights are beaming. Everything is running smooth and all is well with the world. Like some namaste shit going on around here at the moment. Could very well just be the calm before the storm...

This lady is showing beautiful roots and a fast growth pace, let's see how she keeps developing every day guys, finally this beautiful lady was Transplanted on February 2nd after 17 days planted from seed because I thought it was the right time considering her size and also because the pot was completely conquered by those super healthy and strong roots, let's see how this lady keeps performing so far! 💛❤️💚👨‍🌾💯

Week 10 / 11 Starting the flush smells absolutely amazing Big thanks to 420 fast buds for the seeds. DRSHOTZUK💚💚🍀🍀

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

Girls start getting bigger :) One of them it looks like will be finish soon 🤨 this week i will get microscope then i will check on her what trichomes are 🧐✌️

🔥 SOUR DIESEL — The Ascension of a Legend Germination Report — Special Edition 8×8 Last 2025 Run ⸻ PART I — THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND 1. Origins in the Shadows of the East Coast Long before dispensaries, strain catalogs, and global cannabis culture, there was a raw, underground era — a time when growers traded cuts like sacred treasures and seeds traveled through word of mouth. From that world, deep within the 1990s New York and East Coast scene, Sour Diesel was born. Her creation wasn’t planned. It wasn’t designed. It was destiny — forged by accident, survival, and raw genetic power. ⸻ 2. The Accidental Ancestry The story goes like this: A ChemDog ’91–dominant hybrid hermaphrodited during a run, releasing stray pollen that landed on a nearby Super Skunk / Northern Lights female. From those seeds emerged something no one expected: • The fuel-soaked punch of Chem • The acidic sour electricity of Super Skunk • The foundation strength of Northern Lights A grower sprouted them… and one plant rose above everything — the now-mythic Diesel. Her aroma was so fierce, so unmistakably sour, that she earned her name within minutes of her first cure. ⸻ 3. Rise to Mythic Status Sour Diesel spread through New York like fire: • A cerebral rush unlike anything else • A terp profile that floods a room instantly • A clone-only legend for most of her early life By the early 2000s, she wasn’t just a strain — she was the identity of the East Coast cannabis movement. People crossed states for a cut. Growers protected her genetics like heirlooms. Smokers remembered their first hit for years. To this day, Sour Diesel is spoken of with the reverence reserved for royalty. And this diary will follow one seed — a direct descendant of that legacy. ⸻ PART II — THE OFFICIAL GERMINATION REPORT (Special Edition ) 1. Overview & Intent Unlike the other folders in the 8×8 run, this Sour Diesel will not follow the 12/12-from-seed protocol. A legend deserves tradition: • Light Cycle: 18/6 • Future Veg Duration: 2–3 weeks • Purpose: Highlight natural Diesel vigor, structure, and expression This report focuses on one selected seed, chosen from a germinated batch specifically for this diary. This plant will be the face of the Sour Diesel lineage for the entire run. ⸻ 2. Seeds Started & The Chosen Phenotype • Multiple seeds were germinated • One seed displayed unmistakable Diesel traits from the beginning: • Fast, aggressive taproot • Superior symmetry • Confident seedling posture • Sharp leaf morphology She has been chosen as the singular protagonist of The Ascension of a Legend. ⸻ 3. Environmental Conditions All conditions match the main room’s baseline: • Light: 18 hours light / 6 hours dark • Temperature: Stable, optimal range • Humidity: Supportive, with micro-condensation forming naturally • Medium: Identical substrate and workflow used across the project for consistency She will meet the rest of the cohort in approximately two weeks. ⸻ 4. Germination Performance The chosen seedling performed flawlessly: • Immediate germination • Strong, straight taproot penetration • Rapid cotyledon lift and expansion • Zero deformities or hesitation From the very first hour, she behaves like a plant that knows she carries history. ⸻ 5. Macro Photography Observations Macro imaging reveals the intimate details of her early development: • Micro-droplets on serrations resemble liquid diamonds under magnification • Leaf texture already shows thin sativa structure, a Diesel signature • Early cell development is visibly active • Light refraction on hydrated surfaces creates that signature “Diesel sparkle” These photographs elevate the documentation into an art form — the micro-world of a macro legend. ⸻ 6. Early Vegetative Behavior (18/6) Under classic veg lighting, she displays: • Ambitious vertical intent • Rapid leaf development • Strong metabolic rhythm • Balanced early node spacing She is clearly preparing for the explosive growth Sour Diesel is known for. ⸻ 7. The Road Ahead Over the next weeks: • She will continue veg under 18/6 • Macro photography will capture her transformation • At Week 1 Veg, I will prepare a special report titled: 🔥 “Sour Diesel — Rise of the Prime Phenotype” • She will later join the 12/12 cohort, standing out as the seasoned champion of the room 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.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Sooooo this has been an amazing and exciting week! Ive been patient with this last plant and really checking the trichomes i inly wanted a few amber caps on the nugs, was looking for milky on this one! Shes smelling amazing and the color change was such a sight to see! She did so well with the nutrients and loved the 2 week flush i did! I cut her down did a wet trim and have em in the drying rack! Im excited to see how she cures and drys ready for the smoke reveal! Much love and happy growing!!! *check out the examples of the rewards from the traing i did with lst, hst, desolation love seeing this!!* learning this craft and style of growing is a blast! And everyone should try it!

This one is the runt of the group, but she is still kicking. Started getting some yellowing on the lower leaves on all the plants. I increased the maxibloom a little today so hoping that makes them a little happier. I also changed the setup where the plants dont sit on top of the reservoir. This will make it easier to adjust the nutes if needed. I also hooked up a valve to adjust the water flow because I had a couple overflows last week. These cups are just packed full of roots. This "little" grow has become a lot of work. Chugging along though....

Video update on the Gushers, she looks amazing, super frosty already, I gave some compost tea for the last stretch and added a bit of bio bloom and bio flowering booster as she got a bit bigger than expected. All going well excited to shoot this one 📸

Another week closer... Everything is growing great, no problems with this run so far., This last week we found a Male plant, this is what happens when you grow from seed...sucks..but thats ok it happens. So its out of the grow room and everything is back to normal.. The smell is starting to get stronger, love it, it smells great....well thats about it.. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.

L'unico problema al momento è il ph che ogni giorno salta di 1 punto in più...da 5.9/6.0....a 7 anche 7.3... Nuovo problema: devo mettere un altra pietra porosa ad ossigenare il secchio principale,in modo che i residui non si fermino sul fondo vaso dello stesso... Ok tutto fatto...ho aggiunto una piccola pompa d'aria al vaso centrale.... altro ossigeno oltre che smuovere con le bolle il fondo...😉 Si è alzato un po' E..ora è a 0.8...mentre il ph si è stabilizzato sui 5.9-6.0

Well they are pushing very good after my new led they answering very well they are not caring about the tea they just absorve it and ask for more

Week 7+8 for Thelma and Louise and both gals are looking great! As I mentioned before I'm going to let these ladies go until the fade is nice and the trichs are at least 30% amber and I hope that results in FATTY colas! I cut out the silica since they are flowering nicely now. These girls have the most rock-hard stems I've come across so far, feels like bamboo and a karate kick wouldn't do shit to it LOL! Happy growing everyone!
