Day 14 Flower — girls looking sweet, stretch winding down 🌿 Day 14 of flower and the girls are loving it — canopy’s filling out and I think the big stretch is starting to settle. I topped up the pots with a bit more soil and did a light clean under the canopy — one more proper lollipop/clean and then I’m leaving them to do their thing. Did a few gentle supercrops where needed to tame the highest tops. Big worry right now — night humidity. My box lives in a cold, damp garage so I have to switch the inline exhaust off at night or temps drop too low. I’m running a 150W cabinet heater to hold nights around 17–20 °C, and two circulation fans (one under the net, one above) run 24/7, plus a small dehumidifier that’s not keeping up. With the exhaust off RH jumps to ~80–85% overnight which is a real risk for bud rot as the colas fatten. Feeding & training: pots got a top-up of soil, still on the same organic program. I cleaned the lower growth today and tucked what I could — after one last clean I’ll stop heavy training and let them bulk. If anyone’s run into the same cold-garage / high-night-RH issue — what worked for you? I’m thinking: better dehu (bigger mini unit) or routing a drain from my small unit outside the box, short timed bursts on the inline fan overnight to avoid full-on chilling, or a tiny heater + targeted air mixing to keep box temp up without frying the plants. Appreciate any real-world tips. Pics attached in my diary. #GrowDiaries #SCROG #Day14Flower #IndoorGrow #HelpNeeded

Strong ver

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Suffered a little burn, but flushed it and voila, she is back up and running beautifully. Day 18/19 she has started spitting leaves out left right and centre. Can see little calyxes and hairs coming through. Really is coming along nicely The Critical is a photo period as you know, she too is coming along beautifully. Gonna veg her for 2-3 more weeks and begin flower for 6-8 weeks. Will do more updated on it.

🌱 Skywalker OG — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) “From Expansion to Expression” ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run followed the same philosophy from the start: • 12/12 from seed • No early intervention • Let the plants express their natural structure For the first weeks, we did almost nothing: • No defoliation • No aggressive canopy control • Just environmental dialing and observation Why? 👉 Because structure is built early 👉 And once it’s there, you can shape it — not before Now we’re seeing the result: • Strong branching • Even canopy spread • Multiple dominant tops ⸻ 🌿 Current State — Full Flower Mode At this stage, the plants have clearly transitioned: 👉 Vertical growth has slowed or stopped 👉 Energy is now redirected into bud development You can see it everywhere: • Bud sites swelling • White pistils exploding across the canopy • Trichomes starting to cover sugar leaves This is no longer about growing bigger — this is about building flowers. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Why Now This week, we made a move. A proper defoliation, and yes — we went deep. • Removed fan leaves with long stems • Opened internal structure • Cleared pathways for light and airflow Why now and not before? Earlier: • Leaves = energy factories • Needed for structure development Now: • Structure is set • Bud sites are defined 👉 Removing leaves now: • Redirects energy to flowers • Improves light penetration • Enhances airflow • Reduces microclimate risks This is not stress — this is guidance at the right moment. ⸻ 💡 Light & Canopy Management With the canopy opened: • Light now penetrates deeper • Lower bud sites receive usable PPFD • Top buds remain dominant but not exclusive This creates: 👉 More uniform development 👉 Better quality across the whole plant We’re no longer just growing tops — We’re building a complete plant. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Leaf VPD • Temperature: 26°C • Humidity: 60% Some might question this in flower — but the plants are answering clearly. 👉 Leaves are active 👉 Transpiration is strong 👉 No signs of stress This tells us: Leaf VPD is within a functional range Because: • Healthy stomatal activity • Constant water movement • Balanced evaporation The room isn’t static — it’s breathing. ⸻ 💨 Airflow — Now More Important Than Ever After defoliation, airflow becomes even more effective: • Air can move through the canopy • Moisture doesn’t get trapped • CO₂ distribution improves At this stage: 👉 Airflow = yield protection 👉 Airflow = quality insurance ⸻ Feeding Strategy — Full Spectrum Approach This run is using a combined organic + mineral program: • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Sugar Royal • Pure Zym • Green Sensation Why this combination? 👉 Minerals: • Immediate nutrient availability • Precision feeding 👉 Organics: • Support microbial processes • Enhance terpene complexity • Improve overall plant expression 👉 Enzymes (Pure Zym): • Break down organic matter • Keep root zone clean and active 👉 Green Sensation: • PK boost + metabolic push during flowering This creates: Control + Complexity + Expression ⸻ ⚡ Current Parameters • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 Balanced, efficient, and stable. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes & Flower Development This is where things get beautiful. We are entering the phase of: 👉 Rapid trichome production 👉 Pistil explosion 👉 Early terpene expression What this means: • The plant is protecting its flowers • Resin production is ramping up • Final quality is being defined now Those white hairs? 👉 Signals of active flower sites 👉 Indicators of ongoing development And the frost… 👉 Just the beginning. ⸻ 🌬️ Stomata & Plant Behavior With these conditions: • Stomata are open and active • Gas exchange is efficient • CO₂ uptake is optimized This leads to: 👉 Strong photosynthesis 👉 Consistent growth without stress Again — the plants confirm everything. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • Bud stacking will accelerate • Trichome density will increase significantly • Aromas will become louder and more defined • Nutrient demand will stabilize • Slight leaf fading may begin This is the phase where: 👉 Structure turns into mass 👉 Potential turns into quality ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude — Always To everyone walking this journey with us: • The OGs • The new growers • The skeptics • The silent supporters • The ones who comment and share • The platform • The community • The sponsors • The genetics • The tools • The lessons Everything matters. Everything connects. From grower to growers — we move together. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.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 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.

Hello people week # 9 is at the start, unfortunately I can not get the humidity below 40% but we always stay in the 40s, this is accompanied by a temperature of max 26c. The buds are in production, you can clearly see a difference from last week. This strain is a late bloomer. The harvest is still difficult to estimate when that will be. I fertilize them as on the BioBizz plan until week 10 and I rinse them for another 2 weeks. A little tip: if you turn the pots 1/4 circle every day, this simulates different wind directions. The plant reacts differently to it than when it stands still in a place for 10 weeks. As already mentioned, my rules for autoflowering are: LESS IS SOMETIMES MORE. This helps beginners to take their time to study the plant. To understand the stages of development. Mastering the harvest is only possible through experience. Thanks for your time and for reading. Your green fox 🦊

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. This plant look good. Nice baseball sized buds. Great Smell. Got some purple happening. Starting flushing today, for 2 weeks, to get all the extra nutrients used by the plant. There will be some yellowing of the fanleaves. I could make my 50% off code for UHKTA Seeds available soon. Needs to be used by May 1st. I won the Candy House strain first, so they have my address, Then I placed 28 out of 30 to get a 50% of code. Then I placed 8 in the last diary of the month winning more of their seeds. When I get or know my seeds are coming I'll give out the code to someone who's interested. Check back next Wednesday to see if it available... if your interested. Remember it's 50% off the first order and needs to be used by May 1st this year. OK. Be Cool Chuck.

well, another week goes by and it's growing not like I expected hehehe but that's ok, living and learning, and for now I'll just wait for this cycle to end to start a new one and post it here and I'll tell you right away that I ordered a kit advanced nutrients starter and will test it on the new cycle. =D

Hello my friends, ...April 11, 2022....Day N°30.. Beginning of the fifth week of growth for my three Feminized Bubblegum. There are fine, developing good, the topping working well. They are healthy and beautiful. www.00seeds.com www.mars-hydro.com Thank a lot for passing through here. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

Week 25 for 9lb hammer F2 They are finally getting some sort of smell but again barely anything she looks better than she smells that i can say 😂

Temps are rising here and I am unable to cool the room that the grow tent is in with air conditioning… but despite this, with sufficient airflow throughout her canopy she seems to be thriving! I am extremely congested but I can still smell the buds when I open the tent, and the nugs so far seem to feel extremely dense.

Coming soon

Semana sel 2 de septiembre al 8 de septiembre 8 de septiembre, fotos del dia Jueves 5 de septiembre 2024. Se regaron con Floralicius plus adicionado con Hidrol-pez + vitaminas.

Really awesome plant :) super impressed by how fast and healthy she grew, and her structure was just beautiful. She developed super dense and heavy buds, and the canopy turned out super even, even though she wasn’t topped or trained at all. In the end, she gave me 1.1kg wet! KMintz have to stay for some days. hope she make it good, while iam on vacation. Update: The Kiwi x NCH totally surprised me. I stopped trimming after a bit over 175g dry since we’re only allowed to keep 50g anyway and I’ll be getting rid of the rest. 😇👻 That makes her my most productive plant so far, which really caught me off guard considering the buds were fairly small and the internodal spacing was quite wide. 💪😍 She actually does have a bit of a kiwi scent, lots of spice, with some floral and sweet notes coming through. I like it 👽 Just sent everything into the cure now! Let’s see how those terps develop

Almost ready to harvest, 7 weeks in flowering, lets see how many more days left. What do you think?

The plant on the right appears to be more mature than the others, despite being the smallest of the three. It’s still too early to tell, but the flowers seem like they will be dense and very fruity, judging by their size and the smell that is just beginning to develop.

Really boring week, nothing changed, nothing exciting happened, just food and water. There's some really nice purples coming through the flower right now and I can make out the tell tale signs of the cookies on both phenos, they may not look the same but the smell coming of both plants is identical..

Super stoked on my fastbuds420 run This one has been absolutely one of my favorites💯
