🌸 Week 3 Flower – The Jungle Takes Over The girls are now towering at 1.20 m, turning our tent into a proper green jungle. Both phenotypes are thriving with thick stalks, lush foliage, and a dense network of branches promising a spectacular flower set. This week was all about control and balance. ✂️ Defoliation & Growth Management Although these plants have been allowed to grow naturally so far, their explosive stretch meant I had to step in. I performed a strategic defoliation, not because the plants were weak, but to: • Improve airflow through the canopy. • Ensure light reaches lower bud sites. • Slow vertical growth and help prevent them from outgrowing the tent. Even with a high ceiling, there’s still a risk of running out of headroom during the last stretch. Defoliating at this stage also redirects energy to bud formation instead of excessive leaf production. Note: During this process, a few branches were accidentally broken while moving them out for photos. I left this in the report and photos as a learning moment, large plants can be tricky to handle. This may be the last out-of-tent photoshoot before harvest. 🌱 Structure & Bud Development • Both phenotypes are highly branched, with bud sites forming all the way down the stems. • First signs of proper bud stacking are visible, with white pistils everywhere. • Plants look symmetrical, vibrant, and full of energy — a promising start to mid-flower. 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Base nutrients: • Aptus Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L occasionally (soil already contains slow-release pellets) Bloom boosters (Plagron): • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L (multi-action bloom stimulator, PK booster, and terpene enhancer) • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L (amino acid-rich biostimulant, improves aroma & resilience) • Power Buds – 1 ml/L (early flowering booster to promote faster bud set) This combined recipe ensures the plants receive balanced macro and micronutrients while enhancing flower development, resin production, and terpene expression. pH & EC: • Feed solution pH: ~6.0–6.1 • Feed EC: ~1.04 mS/cm (soil EC still at ~2.96 mS/cm, so feed is moderated) 🌡️ Environment • Soil temperature: 24–24.7°C • Air temperature: 29°C • Humidity: 67% • VPD: 1.37 kPa Conditions are slightly warm, but the plants are coping well. ⸻ 📌 Summary Week 3 of flower has been a turning point, from a lush veg canopy to a budding powerhouse. Strategic defoliation will help manage height and airflow, while the combined Aptus + Plagron feeding strategy aims to maximize flower density, aroma, and overall plant health. The structure is impressive, with a sea of potential bud sites that promise a heavy, aromatic harvest. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Good week

Easy as from day one , the seed was up in 2 days and never looked back . She loved the heat mat for the first few weeks and then responded so well to being tied down . Less than 90 days from seed to smoke and plenty of it .

It's week 8 of flower. The buds are getting fatter and the aroma is more intense now. I can't wait to see the finished flowers. The buds still have a lot of white pistols, so I hope that the colas will get even fatter. I hope to have a good harvest in a couple of weeks.

Is stacking nicely

Day 8 Finally got to check out the plant. Still on same nutrient plan since I'm concerned still about the white dots that are visible on the video I posted. Still very happy to see the growth on the plant. Plant is now receiving about a third gallon of water every other day-ish with 15 ml/gallon of botanicare kind grow nutrients. Day 9 Saw evidence of spider mites. Don't know how they got in since I'm in a grow tent. Got a treatment the guy at the hydro store said would work best since I'm in a small er tent. Sprayed leaves heavily with the spider mites killing solution and turned the lights off since the remedy calls for it and fed 8fl oz water with ~1 ml botanicare. Also bought Canna Coco A+B since I was at the store anyway. Day 10 2-28-18 Evidence of some type of nutrient burn can be seen on some leaves. Possibly a reaction to the anti-spider mite treatment. Any info is welcomed. Opting to keep light on instead of treating for spider mites since I think the spider mites problem is less of a problem than the new discoloration on the leaves Day 12 3-2-18 HELP!!! Anyone please look at the picture I posted and help me with what I need to do asap. TGIF because maybe I can spend the weekend saving this plant. Day 13 3-3-18 Removed the cup from around the plant and added some soil. I think it looks healthier than it has and think it's going to make it.

I have a new light with a bloom setting hopefully that will make a nice flowering. Got a new fan for air circulation. The new light has cooling fans. Haven't noticed any burns so im happy with my order. If you look at the last few pictures my tent is home made and cheap very cheap. The lights not an expensive one but I think its fine for now.

Its time to do Defoliation

Had 84g of the purple but smoked some waiting for the green pheno 72g. Thought I'd show pics anyway just to have some confirmation. Super floral diesel with some fruity notes. Very easy to smoke too much of lol Definitely want to grow again maybe make hash and rosin out of some. Goodluck and happy growing everyone 🌴

Bueno, hoy domingo he germinado osea que en cuanto al cultivo poco más jejejejeje

Plants been growing crazy this flower week they grew 2-3x their size and are starting to grow little buds done some topping on the 21st day of flowering this turned out to really help

Dos plantas (sin lst) se han ido a la terraza y las otras dos han comenzado la etapa de floración en el armario.

Last week :)

Ooooooweeeeeee they’re all doing so good even the extras that I threw in flower with out cloning are doing great .. in just 2 more weeks I’ll throw the donor plants into flower

Everything goes better than I expected. Very early in flower and already the plant has some pretty big flowers and the smell is stronger. I increased the ppm to 1100-1200. I struggle to keep the plant tied because it is still stretching to the lights

Weird germination process: among the whole tent I had few duds so I had to replace and select. I noticed from the start that the seed didn't germinate correctly having kept the membrane closed tight on top, inclusive of seed shell. I manually removed the redundant seed shell and membrane myself. Germinated using the wet towel method, then planted with michoryzae powder as added boost. A couple of days later I have noticed that the top wilted while suffocated in the shell, however it is already sprouting a perfect "Y" " self-topped" shape to die for. I wasn't planning to train any of the plants in this grow but I will do it with this MOBY DICK: this strain is a high yielding sativa that has historically given me a consistent large harvest each time. It can bush out very quickly and I would have to allocate half a tent just for her.

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Nach der siebten (in nur 48 Tagen seit des Blütenbeginns) Blütewoche hat die Pflanze nun ihren Peak erreicht Ein dichter Tepich aus harzigen Trichomen überzieht die Blütenköpfe und der Geruch erinnert mich sehr stark an meinen ersten Grow der Ice Cream Haze. Auch wieder aufgefallen ist, dass diese Sorte unfassbar Schnell fertig wird. Die Bärenstein farbenen Trichome haben zugelegt, und fast alle anderen sind Milchig. Aus Zeitgründen habe ich mich doch dafür entschieden, die Pflanze auf ihrem Peak zu ernten. Daher ist heute (13.11.2025) Erntezeit. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 1,21 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

🤩🤩

Sehr Frostig!
