Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

DAY 25 Pictures before 2nd time topping (height : 20 - 29cm). Definitive numbering of the plants

A lot of trouble in this round. The problem with the heat contributed to them stretching, and then of course heat stress -.- one of them gave me 20g while the other one 124. I fed them all the same, they may have succumbed to other stress, who knows...

Juchuu, da ist sie endlich: die Paradise Seeds Banana Purple Auto! 🍌💜 Wir freuen uns wirklich riesig, dass es geklappt hat und wir diesen spannenden Strain growen dürfen. Es ist tatsächlich unsere erste Lady von Paradise Seeds, und dann direkt so eine interessante Neuheit. Da konnten wir natürlich nicht widerstehen. :) Die Banana Purple Auto bringt genetisch schon mal einiges mit: eine Kreuzung aus Purple Kush und GG4 Skunk. Klingt auf dem Papier nach einer ziemlich leckeren Mischung aus würzigen, skunkigen und fruchtigen Aromen, also genau die Art von Duft, bei der man später ständig am Glas schnuppern muss. 😄 Mit ihren angegebenen 60 % Indica und 40 % Sativa wirkt sie angenehm ausgewogen.Sie dürfte also sowohl für entspannte Momente als auch für gute Laune und kreative Outdoor-Vibes bestens geeignet sein. Die angegebenen 24 % THC lesen sich jedenfalls schon mal alles andere als schüchtern. Besonders gespannt sind wir natürlich auf die Farben. Sie soll ordentlich „purpeln“ und damit liegt sie absolut im Trend der aktuellen Strain-Entwicklung. Wenn die Lady also später aussieht wie ein Sonnenuntergang in violett, beschweren wir uns definitiv nicht! Geschmacklich wird sie mit „Fruity, Skunky, Sweet“ beschrieben. Also irgendwo zwischen Obstkorb, Tankstelle und Candyshop, was erstmal nach einer ziemlich wilden Kombination klingt, aber genau deswegen lieben wir solche Genetiken. :) Die Kleine darf sich jetzt erstmal gemütlich einleben. Verwöhnt wird sie natürlich auch ein bisschen, aber nicht zu sehr. Schließlich planen wir hauptsächlich einen Outdoor-Grow, und draußen gibt’s bekanntlich keinen Zimmerservice. Sie muss also zeigen, was wirklich in ihr steckt. Vielen Dank an Paradise Seeds für das Bereitstellen des Samens. Wir sind extrem gespannt auf diesen Run. Special thanks an Viviana 🙂

This beauty is the Choco Kush auto, from Amsterdam genetics, she is 9 weeks old, started flowering at around 4 weeks. First part of her life she was just in the growing tent, the last 4 weeks she has been sunbathing in the garden, for about 10 hours almost everyday. In the night she is back in the growing tent. So 24 hours light program, LED combined with sunlight. She loves her nutrients from biobizz in every water, the ration is 3-4 ml per 1 litre water. She received about 2 times in the first 5 weeks of life the boomboom spray. She is a midget. But a midget beast with some beautiful flowers, that stink in the entire garden.

Hi lovely people, how are you doing? So, week 3 here since I put the seed to germinate and the plant is AMAZING, I really like how the plant is developing! I started the LST this week, can you people tell me if I am doing it well? Thank you for the help. Love you all :-)

This week the girls were getting a bit heavy leafed and sweaty. Getting into LST techniques, we went a bit crazy with the defoliation for some of the plants. Their growth seems a bit stunted so we moved them to the center to fill out the canopy with the bigger plants. Probably gonna have to veg a bit longer than we were hoping. Growth seems good though with some leaf tips yellowing. Hopefully it's just the old nutrient deficiency that should be now fixed. The canopy looks nice and even. The dehumidifier gets filled too fast, so we should've gotten a bigger one. Currently trying to keep the humidity at max 70% but we are struggling when the tank gets filled up. After getting two fans and still struggling with the airflow and sweaty leaves, we got a better third fan and stopped using the other two. We got a small greenhouse heater for our tent because we opened the window due to the growing humidity. It's winter around here. Main issues for the upcoming weeks seem to be getting the temperature and humidity in control before flowering. Right at the end of the week we installed our SCROG.

Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

very nice strain with 2 great ancestors, solid taste and scent, got some great buds with great taste and awesome looking plants with incredible colors

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

Well what a week lol. Noticed brown spots and yellowing of leaves on lower branches, progressively got worse and higher up the plant. Repotted to a bigger 5 gallon fabric smart pot at the end of week prior to flushing plant. Added in some Dutch Treat soil. Finally got my digital pH and TDS meter. As I suspected, high ppm and low pH in the run off. Had to flush plant with 20L of 6.8 pH water over the weekend slowly. Suspected nutrient over feeding (1840ppm) causing low soil pH (5.34pH) and nutrient lockout. Got levels to 6.25pH and 814ppm. Carefully fluffed soil to help dry out faster. Reduced light to 80% to let plant recover over the next few days. Will start with just water at 6.8pH and resume feeding after at 50% depending how things look and ppm runoff readings. Overall the plant looks decent for all things considered and just got the SF-1000 grow light last week. Was just using 2 Amazon basic LEDs before from seed. Dozen or so node sites with new growth, FIM'D last week and now seeing 4 new nodes with new growth on top and FIM'd a few outer nodes on the branches that were ready. Hopefully with better monitoring of feeding and pH levels will be ready to flip to flower in a week or two. I want the plant to develop to good size before flowering. Starting with poor lighting and this week of Nutrient lock out has stunted growth speed, still good size for age, just need to correct lock out and low soil pH

Day 14. Second dose of nutes. Day 17. Trimmed leaf and bent plant over LST. Day 18. Side branches coming in nicely. Day 19. HST side branches.

🌱 Ghost Train Haze — Week 5 From Seed (Late Veg / Pre-Transition) This week nature reminded us who’s in charge. Outside temps dropped to 4–5°C with 90–95% humidity, and instead of fighting it, we adapted — and so did the girls. 🌡️ Environment • Tent temperature: ~21.8°C • RH: ~58% Considering the outside conditions, this is a very comfortable and stable environment, and the plants are showing zero stress signs. Leaf posture is relaxed, growth is steady, and overall vitality is excellent. We’re embracing seasonal changes rather than forcing extremes — and the plants are responding beautifully. ⸻ Nutrition & Watering Strategy Hand-Watered Plants • pH: 5.9 • EC: 1.43 • New addition this week: CalMag Pro — 1 ml/L This is not a reaction to deficiencies. Calcium and magnesium become increasingly important during this phase due to: • accelerating cell division • structural development • increasing transpiration as light intensity rises Introducing CalMag before problems appear helps maintain: • stronger cell walls • stable nutrient uptake • smoother transition toward flowering This is prevention, not correction. ⸻ Autopot Zone • EC: 2.29 • pH: 6.0 • Solution temperature: ~22.8°C In the Autopots we’re running minerals only. Organic inputs don’t behave consistently in passive systems and can lead to: • biofilm buildup • line blockages • unstable nutrient availability Keeping this zone clean, mineral-based, and predictable ensures long-term stability. ⸻ 💡 Light & PPFD • PPFD range: ~700–850 (depending on plant size) • Top light: 100%, unchanged • Plants are praying constantly and clearly growing toward the light — no pushing, no forcing. Under-Canopy & Inner-Canopy Lighting • Beginning of week: OFF • End of week: ON (very gently) This is not to increase total PPFD yet. The goal right now is education, not intensity. By introducing photons: • from below • from inside the canopy • from multiple angles …we’re teaching the plant early that light is everywhere, preparing structure and bud sites for later stages. Intensity will increase only as the plants evolve. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure • No heavy training • No aggressive defoliation • Only: • leaf tucking • gentle branch bending • very light LST These plants are naturally compact, with: • beautiful branching • large, healthy leaves • lush green color • excellent vigor in the Autopots Growth is slower compared to other plants in the room, which may be linked to the sativa-leaning genetics. In my experience, sativas often: • develop more slowly early • take longer to finish • but reward patience later We’ll let the plant tell the story. ⸻ 🌸 Veg or Flower? This is a 12/12 from seed run. Some plants in the room are already showing pre-flower. Ghost Train Haze is not — and that’s completely fine. She is still in vegetative growth, building structure. Delayed transition can often mean: • more stretch later • potentially larger final size But we don’t guess — we observe. The plant flips when she’s ready, not when the calendar says so. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap for Newcomers • Week 5 from seed • Still vegetative • 12/12 light cycle • Stable environment despite harsh weather outside • Preventive CalMag introduced • Clean mineral strategy in Autopots • Multi-angle lighting slowly being introduced • Minimal intervention, maximum observation ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not To) Expect: • continued structural development • slow, steady growth • eventual self-triggered transition Do NOT expect: • forced flowering • rushed development • aggressive training This run is about letting the plant express herself naturally. ⸻ 🙏 Thanks Big thank you to everyone following along, supporting, and sharing knowledge. Appreciation as always to the sponsors — including Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting — and to the community that makes these shared journals meaningful. Growers love Onward, calmly and patiently. 👽 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.

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.

Hola cultivadores de marihuana, bienvenidos a la semana de corte, después de 14 semanas de vida de esta cepa auto floreciente con dominancia índica, ha llegado a la gloria de su zenit. He cultivado esta cepa con atención y esmero, en una maceta air-pot de 6l, en una mezcla de sustratos ligeros con minerales, sustratos activados con microbiología autóctona recogida en los bosques vírgenes de mi región y regada siempre con agua pura de montaña.🗻 La he alimentado con macro y micro nutrientes solubles creados con fermentados anaeróbicos e hidrolizados propios, creados en casa con microbiología, elementos orgánicos y minerales, mantengo mucha y buena luz en las carpas de cultivo, cultivo esta planta con 10h de luz interior, más otras 10 horas de luz exterior y cuatro de sueño, mis plantas siempre llevan sombrero (mulch), con materia seca para dar de comer a la microbiología y mantener niveles de humedad óptimos en superficie, para facilitar la creación y mantenimiento de raíces adventicias desde el primer centímetro de tierra.... 💧🌞👨‍🌾 Triple satisfacción al cortar esta planta 1) Deja hueco en mi carpa de cultivo en un tiempo récord. 2) Acabó el stress que me suponen las cepas auto florecientes en su veloz carrera por fructificar. 3) Por el objetivo cumplido de cultivar en pequeña maceta, con horario mixto interior/exterior (10/10n), que me hizo ahorrar gastos, y conseguir unos buenos datos de producción. La planta se ha comportado con vigor y fortaleza, gran bebedora, me ha regalado gruesas, pegajosas y densas colas... ahora están secando durante una semana y después cuando lleven una semana de curado publicaré los datos y valoraciones de la cosecha. Hasta la cosecha... SALUDOS A TODOS Y GRACIAS POR ESTAR AHÍ!! 🖐️👨‍🌾🌞💧 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================

Another great week with perfect weather. Been spraying BT still about once every 5-7 days. Haven't seen any signs of caterpillar droppings so that's a plus. My bud releases are sticking around and fighting the good fight. Only pest I'm seeing that is starting to building up is grasshopper.
