Leider kam es kurz nach beginn der Blüte wieder zu Mangelerscheinungen wodurch sicherlich noch etwas Potential liegen gelassen wurde. Stand jetzt bin ich mir noch nicht sicher was genau der Fehler war jedoch bin ich in der Hoffnung das der nächste Grow nochmals besser wird. Für meinen 2ten richtigen Grow bin ich trotzdem sehr zufrieden.

🌱 Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto — Week 11 From Seed (Week 7 Flower) 12/12 from seed — controlled environment, natural expression ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — From Lesson to Balance Last week reminded us of something fundamental: Not every plant finishes the race. One was removed—not as a failure, but as a decision to protect the system. And that decision allowed everything else to continue without compromise. Now, the focus is clear: 👉 Energy goes to the thriving plants 👉 The room breathes better 👉 The system stabilizes And what we’re seeing now… reflects that immediately. ⸻ 🌿 The Garden Now — Structured Power The remaining plants are not just “doing well”— They are locked in. * Buds stacking with intent * Structure holding weight * Leaves rich, deep green * Uniformity across the canopy This is what happens when: environment + root health + light = alignment ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development — From Growth to Density We are now fully in the mass accumulation phase. * Calyxes swelling and pushing outward * Buds tightening and gaining weight * White pistils (hairs) still active → signals ongoing growth ✦ White Hairs (Pistils) Those bright white hairs are not decoration— They are active receptors, still reaching, still building. 👉 As long as they stay white and upright: the plant is still pushing forward ⸻ ✨ Trichomes — Where Quality Is Built Now we enter the most underestimated phase. * Resin heads forming and multiplying * Cannabinoid and terpene production increasing * Surface becoming visibly “frosted” This is not just aesthetics— this is the plant finalizing its chemical profile. ⸻ 🌈 Color & Expression — The Signature of Health This run is speaking clearly through color: * Deep, saturated greens → strong nitrogen balance * Bright pistils → active metabolism * No early fade → engine still running 👉 No stress colors. No confusion. Just clarity in expression. ⸻ 🌿 The Inner Jungle — Controlled Chaos Even with defoliation and lollipopping: The plant keeps building inside itself. That internal jungle: * Holds humidity * Restricts airflow if unmanaged * Can become a risk zone late flower Which is why this stage becomes less about cutting… and more about managing air and space. ⸻ 💨 Airflow — The Invisible Protector This is where your setup shines. * Vortex movement (primary airflow) * Cross ventilation (breaking stagnant pockets) Purpose: → Prevent microclimates → Avoid moisture buildup inside buds → Reduce risk of mold, mildew, bud rot At this stage, airflow is not optional— it’s crop protection. ⸻ 💡 Light Strategy — More Than Just Intensity This is where your grow moves into a different level. ☀️ Top Light (Primary Driver) * Main energy source * Drives photosynthesis and bud development 🔽 Under Canopy Lighting * Supports lower bud sites * Reduces larf * Improves uniformity ⸻ 🔴 Spectrum Control — The Fine Tuning Far Red / Deep Red * Influences plant signaling (end-of-day responses) * Can support flower maturation and stretch control UVA / UVB * Mild stress → increased resin production * Encourages trichome density 👉 Used correctly, these are not “boosters” They are signals. And right now, your plants are clearly responding well. ⸻ 👀 The Grower’s Role — Observation Phase This is that moment. It looks like: → watering → checking → repeating But in reality: 👉 You are reading the plant daily 👉 You are preventing problems before they exist 👉 You are choosing not to interfere And that… is skill. ⸻ 🧠 What This Week Really Is This week is not about action. It’s about: * Awareness * Stability * Patience Because at this stage: Overdoing = damage Understanding = yield + quality ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next (Week 8 Flower) ✦ Expect: * Increased bud density * More visible trichome coverage * Pistils slowly transitioning (white → darker tones) * Potential first signs of fade (depending on feeding) ✦ Watch closely: * Internal humidity * Airflow effectiveness * Any early signs of bud rot (especially deep in colas) ⸻ 🤝 Shoutout — From Grower to Growers To everyone following: The OGs, the new ones, the silent watchers, the loud supporters, the skeptics, the learners, the ones trying, failing, improving… To the platform. To the genetics behind this expression. To the environment that allows it. To the sponsors supporting the journey. And to everyone putting in work when nobody is watching. ⸻ Special Mention — Mr. Baggy Out there on assignment. Smoking joints, documenting, observing… probably seeing things we don’t. Real field work. ⸻ 🌱 Final Thought Last week showed what happens when the root system fails. This week shows what happens when everything aligns. Same room. Different outcomes. Because in the end— The plant doesn’t lie. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10

Hey! Another week in flower and closer to harvest. Smelling like a candy store. Buds are maturing, things are running smoothly. Take care out there! One love Growers & tokers!

Some Faded bottom leaves . Temps are lower . Not sure if my questions are seen but moving forward with my first Auto Blow Dream grow.

Day 24-31 (Day 25) The smell in here is absolutely ridiculous. My last grow didn’t smell even close to this bad in early flower. (Day 27) Stretch is finally all done. #6 in the back is very stout and barely stretched compared to everything else. I doubt it will yield much but I’m excited to see the nice tight colas on it. It seems to be still getting adequate light and raising it up is hard to do with a scrog net so I will just leave it. If it wasn’t getting enough light it would be stretching right? The early frost is really shocking to me. My last indoor round definitely wasn’t this caked and I’ve never had an outdoor plant on this level either. That’s also true in terms of smell too. (Day 29) I’m still debating whether I should feed anything in flower or just leave it. The only deficiency I’m seeing is purple stems from P def which could actually just be from light intensity rather than a lack of P. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided to only feed my small plant. What I’m most curious about is if a PK boost will actually make any kind of a difference in flower when it comes to bud size and smokability. So to test this theory I will be top dressing a teaspoon of 0-18-0 bat guano, a tablespoon of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and a half strength watering of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m trying to avoid N all together as I just toxed my guinea pig plants with another experimental flowering PK boost that had a very small amount of N in it. This plant in particular actually has very early signs of N def and probably will fade harder than the rest. (Day 31) Shit. Looks like #1 is starting to herm. It’s definitely not environment or light leaks so maybe it’s just genetic or the recent leaching stressed it out too much. Either way, it’s only a single lower branch and I’m prepared to cut her down if I start seeing anymore. I double checked every other budsite but couldn’t find anymore. In my experience true herms usually start pushing bananas out of the main tops and plants like mine can usually be salvaged with little to no seeded bud. But then again it’s day 31, when these things usually start to happen. I’m 50/50 on this one. I will be watching it everyday like a hawk if anymore show up. The breeder I’m using, ‘Jordan of the Island’s’ is notorious for having unstable genetics and this will be the last time I run any of his stuff. The quality is good, certainly better than most European and Dutch genetics I’ve run but I know I could do better where genetics are concerned. I can’t wait to start hunting my archive dosidos x gelato 41 and in house sugarcane.

This GSC is really packing on the flower now , taking 8 litres a day of feed and dominating the tent . Same same again this week

es propensa a plagas, pero le di jabón potasico por 15 días y se fueron los bichos

📆 Semana 10 La Sticky Queen alcanza su momento perfecto. Los tricomas muestran el punto ideal, los cogollos están firmes y llenos de resina, y el aroma se presenta en su versión más auténtica: dulce, afrutado y limpio tras el lavado. Ahora toca cortar con calma, mantener buena ventilación y dejar que empiece el secado que definirá su carácter final. ✂️ Momento clave: precisión, calma y máxima calidad. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

December 2nd: Week 6 has started, hopefully last week of veg, defoliating, started feeding Sweet Candy, reducing humidity... more to come Tuesday night and it's end of week 6 or day 42, they are doing well, about 16 inches tall and bushy but I feel like another week of veg wouldn't hurt, hoping to get them all around 18 inches tall before I flip Comments and likes appreciated, stay high

W9- Light 20/4 I will apply nutrient for last time. After this week I’ll start flushing. 1-2 weeks to harvest. They smells good same as i bought from my dealer😂 🍀🍀🍀

📆 Semana 0 🍁💐💐Mimosa Auto: Ya está la semilla en servilleta de papel, vamos a ver qué tal responde esta Mimosa Auto de RQS. Dicen que tira cogollos resinosos y con aroma a cítricos, así que hay ganas de ver cómo se comporta la germinación. De momento a dejarla tranquila, que se pille bien al sustrato, luz suave y agua cuando lo pida, nada de fliparse que no queremos estresarla demasiado. Esta semana es todo paciencia y mimo para que se asiente bien; en cuanto coja ritmo, vamos metiendo caña. 💡 Para darle un empujón en estas primeras etapas, he añadido el Seed Booster de RQS, perfecto para fortalecer raíces y asegurar una germinación rápida y segura. Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪 CUPON RQSCREW: 15% DESCUENTO en Royal Queen Seeds

Week 2 went smooth... Started to see 5-finger leaves showing so I lowered the lights and turned them almost all the way up. Installed a Co2 Dispersal Canister that should finish out veg. Wish I knew the ppm for the Co2 but I don't. Finna start LST this upcoming week

So Update! Ich habe alle leicht entlaubt und getoppt. Sie haben das Toppen gut weggesteckt und wachsen weiter. Ca 4 große Fächerblätter pro Pflanze entfernt die im unteren Bereich Triebe verdeckt haben. Heute wird wieder gegossen. Die Töpfe sind sehr leicht und ich gebe heute auf jeden Fall 2 Liter Wasser und steigere dann nächste Woche auf 2,5 Liter. Bis nächste Woche gehe ich davon aus dass sie dann den gesamten Topf mit Wurzeln erschlossen habe. Werde nächste Woche mit leichtem LST beginnen um alle Triebe auf gleiche Höhe anzupassen. Sonntag nächste Woche werde ich auf 12/12 umstellen und die Blüte einleiten. Ab dann gebe ich ca 3-4 Liter pro Gießgang. Aber das wird sich noch zeigen. Jetzt verwendet: - Plagron Power Roots additive - Plagron Pure Zym additive - Plagron PH minus PH angepasst auf 6,5 Ich habe sehr hartes Leitungswasser, daher muss ich selbst bei organischem Grow den PH anpassen. Die Erde alleine bekommt das auf lange Sicht nicht ausreichend gepuffert. Nochmal zum Setup: 2x Prima Klima Lucilu Shuttle 6 - aktuell 70% Ca 40 cm über den Damen - 550 ppfd im Durchschnitt 15 Liter Stofftöpfe Plagron Royalmix Bin gespannt wie es weiter geht. Let IT Grow 💚🌱🌿

This week has been such a gift! I have learned so much about proper care for a plant I had no idea how little I knew sitting down and observing these majestic trees produce such a potent flower has really humbled me. Premium cultivars strain has shown resilient and self sustaining easy to grow traits that it is hard to mess up. (Which I’ve done a few times lol) Notice the trichomes (I put the zoom lens on and got up in there so they could be better seen the bud itself is slathered in them ! This is going to be an amazing smoke! Also looking at the structure of the bud it’s self it has volume very full bodied bracts with pistils throughout It’s just an all-around beautiful thing to observe

Wahnsinn, die Papayton ist jetzt schon bei 110 cm angekommen. Die schießt echt ordentlich in die Höhe! Wir sind jetzt mitten in Woche 4 und die letzte Zeit war echt nervenaufreibend. Ich musste die Mädels ordentlich durchspülen, weil der EC-Wert im Topf auf 4+ hochgeballert war. Das war ein ordentlicher Salz-Endgegner, aber ich hab ihn jetzt auf 2,6 runtergekriegt. Heute gab’s dann endlich wieder frisches Futter mit dem neuen Plagron-Zeug und ordentlich CalMag. Ich fahre jetzt auch die Lichtleistung mit 345W auf 13 Stunden. Dazu hab ich Deep Red und Infrarot aktiviert. Das IR läuft 15 Minuten länger als das Hauptlicht, damit die Mädels bei der kurzen Nacht direkt in den Schlafmodus finden und regenerieren können. Im Zelt ist es jetzt ein richtiger Dschungel, alles ist extrem dicht gewuchert. Morgen oder übermorgen wird deshalb radikal rasiert. Alles was unten im Schatten liegt oder sich gegenseitig das Licht wegnimmt, kommt ab, damit die Energie endlich in die dicken Buds fließt. Die Harzproduktion sieht bei der Forbidden Nectar jetzt schon richtig vielversprechend aus.
