Starting 2^ week vegetation

🌿 RS11 "C" - Officially Taller Than Me! 🏙️🌲 Let's go! This RS11 is going completely crazy out on the balcony. Now with the pot included, she is officially taller than me! 🤯 The Run Down: Crazy Stretch: She is just reaching for the sky right now. The vertical stretch is unreal, but she's still building a thick main stalk to hold it all up. The internodal spacing is getting long as she races toward the sun. Pest Defense: You can still see the Biobest sachet hanging on her branch in the photos. Keeping those predatory bugs on duty just in case, because I definitely don't want any of that indoor tent drama happening out here. 🛡️ Looking Lush: The fan leaves are massive, rocking a super dark, healthy green, and praying hard. No signs of deficiencies at all; she is loving whatever she is getting fed. Pre-flower Action: The top nodes are really starting to tighten up, and you can see her pushing out those early pistils. She is definitely shifting gears and getting ready to start stacking some real buds. 🌸 The main focus right now is just making sure she's supported against the wind since she's turned into such a giant. I'm keeping her fed and letting her soak up the weather. She is an absolute beast! 🔥 Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

ITA: dopo l'eccesso di top max della scorsa settimana le piante non mostrano ulteriori sintomi di degradazione. La laughing buddha è quella che mostra i sintomi più evidenti. Le cime continuano ad ingrossarsi e l'odore sta diventando forte. Il filtro a carboni svolge il suo lavoro ENG; after last week's excess top max the plants show no further symptoms of degradation. The laughing buddha is the one that shows the most obvious symptoms. The buds continue to swell and the smell is getting strong. The carbon filter does its job

Was just using water with the last 2 plants this week. They both plumped up a bit and got more color going on, which is exactly what I was waiting for. Overall, it was a nice grow with only a couple hiccups.

She's big! That's all i can say!

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 10 From Seed (Week 5 Flower) The comeback story. ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — The “Unhappy Girl” That Didn’t Quit This Sour Diesel started as the most challenged plant in the room. Slow growth, stress signals early on, and clearly behind her sisters. But plants don’t quit — they adapt. She stayed smaller (~60 cm), but instead of stretching for size, she focused on recovery and survival. And now, in Week 5 of flower, we’re seeing something special: 👉 A full metabolic comeback 👉 Active water uptake (~1.2L/day) 👉 Healthy flower development despite early setbacks This is why we document everything — not just perfection, but resilience. 🔬 Macro World — What We’re Really Seeing This week, we zoom in — literally. Macro photography shows us what the eye misses: ✨ Trichomes (The Frost Begins) • Tiny resin glands forming on sugar leaves and calyxes • At this stage: mostly clear → early cloudy • Function: • UV protection • Pest defense • Secondary metabolite production (terpenes, cannabinoids) 👉 This is the plant saying: “I’m protecting my flowers now.” ⸻ 🌸 Calyxes (The Core of the Flower) • The actual reproductive structure • Each calyx = potential seed site (if pollinated) • Now stacking and swelling slowly 👉 This is where your final yield is built. ⸻ 🌿 Pistils / White Hairs • These are stigmas, part of the female reproductive system • Their job: • Catch pollen • Signal reproductive maturity At Week 5: • Still mostly white → plant is actively building, not finishing • Upright and fresh → healthy hormonal signaling 👉 White pistils = growth mode 👉 Dark/orange pistils = maturity progression ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding (Dialed In) You kept it consistent — and that’s why she bounced back: • 🌡️ Temp: 28°C • 💧 RH: 60–65% • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: 2.4 • 🌬️ CO₂: ~1000 ppm • 🚰 Water intake: ~1.2L/day 👉 That water uptake is key — it tells us: roots are active → metabolism is running → recovery is real ⸻ 📸 Plant Structure & Expression • Smaller frame, but balanced structure • Bud sites forming across the plant • No wasted energy — everything is focused 👉 She didn’t win the height race… 👉 But she’s still in the quality game ⸻ 🧠 What This Plant Teaches Not every plant is a monster. Some are: • Stressed early • Slower to adapt • Smaller in size But with stability and patience: 👉 They recover 👉 They produce 👉 They surprise you This is grower discipline — not chasing perfection, but supporting the process. ⸻ 🎒 Official Introduction — Mr. Baggy He’s been around… now it’s official. Mr. Baggy is part of the team. From garden runs to studio sessions — always present. A reminder that even in serious work… 👉 we keep it human 👉 we keep it fun 👉 we keep it ours ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week (Week 6 Flower) • Calyx swelling will accelerate • Trichome production will increase visibly • Pistils may begin slight color change in some areas • Aroma profile will start developing deeper layers ⚠️ Key focus: • Watch EC → avoid pushing too hard now • Maintain airflow (density is coming) • Stay consistent — no big changes ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude From grower to growers: Big love to: • The GrowDiaries community • Everyone following — OGs & new • Supporters, challengers, silent watchers And to the people behind the tools: • Plagron • Zamnesia • The lights above us ⸻ 🌱 Closing She started as the weakest in the room. Now she’s a reminder: 👉 Growth isn’t always fast 👉 Progress isn’t always big 👉 But resilience… always shows 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficialNEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

End of Week 4 (for those following along at home) and there are trichomes everywhere! Both of these plants are putting out sugar like there is no tomorrow. Velvet Moon is smelling a lot like tropical punch drink (Holy Punch x Dosi Dos) and it’s delicious. The Black Apple has a much weaker smell which isn’t really defined for the nose yet. I stripped a few more side branches this week as things were tangling up as there was too much going on. Both look very happy and have plenty of air flowing through them now. BAH is slightly taller than VM. Both stretched approximately double their height and not much more. That may have been due to me topping the plants 3 days before flip to try and keep heights limited. It worked well as i am at the exact distance to the light i wanted to be for 100% power (50cm). BAH has has some stems go a pink/res colour but no other plant changes. It’s hot here due to summer so been running the girls at night and they sleep during the day. Looking forward to documenting the bud development over the next few weeks as these stack weight and start maturing. I think this will be a 10 week flower minimum.

This gal already drinks more than the others and after I took pictures, 2 big fan leaves show nitrogen deficiency. So, she needs more food than the others.

8/29 Knowing I was going to have to yo to the hospital er again this morning with my wife I got up early and watered. We are supposed to get an inch of rain tomorrow but the bags were totally light. If I was going to be around I might've held off watering. Instead I watered everything one gallon and figured the rain will make up for the other 10 percent hopfully that will do it. 8/30 Rained overnight. Plants were soaked. Flowers are swelling. I defoliated a shit ton of yellow leaves the other day. I still don't think I have anything fungal but I'm keeping an eye u e out and am considering doing an application of plant doctor. We are suppised to get an inch of rain tonight and tomorrow I guess. My biddy said i shouod cover my plants because next week is going to be "great growing weather" but with the rain and then the sun it could be a recipe for disaster since I have some large flowers. I got my father's leaf blower running but it was leaking gas. Brought it to the repair shop and a buddy let me borrow his for thus storm. I and hit the plants with it this morning. It is super strong though. I need to be careful not to blow it right out of the bag!!! Or break branches. Of course after u left it started raining lightly. A nice rain that plants like but it's stopped. I'm wondering if I should go over and blast them again to keep them dry but I know it's going to rain off and on and it'd going to rain tonight. I'll check the weather and decide from there. So far things are going good. Still have some yellowing leaves and a few normal pests but that is to be expected. UPDATE: Stopped raining so I went over and shook off the plants then put the leaf blower to them. I made sure to get the interiors before I went and had shook things again by hand. Storage us low bur i took a video. Cant upload toll tomorrow. Buds are growing at an insane rate but im losing some fan leaves that just yellow and die. Im sure its senescence but its still wortisome. We are supposed to have a real good week of growing weather coming so I hope that doesn't change. I'll update tomorrow. That leafblower works awesome though. 8/31 Went over to an extremely sunny windy morning. I didn't even need to shake plants or use the leaf blower since I did it after it Rained last night. I'm worried the wind night dry my bags out today so I'll be sure to keep an eye on them. I defoliated a shit ton of leaves but apparently it's just senescence. I need to check the last time I fed. Trich development is going good. The smell was incredible this morning! Each strain has its own unique smell to it. We are supposed to have a real good week for growing so I'm looking forward to it. May do a preventative plant doctor app but I think it will be alright. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: Went over around one and plants were bone dry. The wind was RIDICULOUS! I added a few individual stakes and tied a couple loose branches. I got my tarp out and considered covering the cagecto protect from the wind. However I didn't have time to sanitize if and they had already been through it all night and day alwuth no breakages. Plants are strong and supported well. At least I hope. Plus the tarp would block the rest of the direct sun the plants are getting right now. The wind looked like it dud its worst and the trellis and supports held. I did add extra supports higher up the plant to prevent breakages. Found a moth larvae (yellow) and squished him. Also found some aphids but a few lady bugs and three lady bugs larvae so I think I'll be OK. I am really excited for this year. Flowers are really exploding! FORGOT TO PUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. WATERED EVERYTHING TWO GALLONS EXCEPT THE 10. WHICH GOT ONE. 9/1 Forgot my phone on the daY I really needed it. It rained last night. The wind was the strongest i've seen in years. I would've tarped the cage but i couldn't find any of the bungee cords or zip ties. Probably good I didn't. No breaks. One plant had dark brown splotches ALL over the leaves! I picked them all off and took pictures and will consult my commercial buddy. I researched and asked a question on here. If it's septoria or something that could ruin my gorgeous garden I'd rather just junk the plant. It's big but it's the furthest behind flowering and I would not be heart broken if I had to get rid of that for the others. This week is supposed to be the best week we've had all summer so I'm expecting major growth. I'll update after conferring with other growers and making a decision. Looking online it seems like it could just be lack of nutes with the co dictionary we've been having. It IS time to feed and I haven't been feeding much. We'll see what he says. UPDATE: AFTER RESEARCH AND CONSULTING WITH OTHER CONMERCIAL GROWERS I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY. I READ THAT RAPID TEMP FLUCTUATIONS AND HIGH WINDS CAN EFFECT THINGS LIKE THIS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SEPTORIA (WHICH I'M EXPERIENCED WITH). I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING AN APPLICATION OF PLANT DOCTOR BUT SINCE IT WAS SO FEW DAYS DURING THESE CONDITIONS IM GOING TO WAIT AND MONITOR THE PLANT. I DEFOLIATED ANY LEAF THAT WAS SUSPECT. FOUND AND KILLED A BUD WORM. I THINK THEY ARE STILL DIEING FROM THE BT. IT WAS LIKE STRETCHING UP FROM THE TOG OF A BIG NUG LIKE, "HERE I AM COME OUT ME OUT OF MY AGONY." ALSO FOUND LADY BUGS AND BEETLES AND THEIR LARVAE. IVE SEEN TGE VERY LOWER SECONDARY BRANCHES GET STRIPPED ON A COUPLE PLANTS BUT THATS WHY I LEFT THEM THERE. IF THEIR ARE EARWIGS THEY CAN HAVECTHE SHIT THAT I WAS GOING TO LOLLIPOP ANYWAY BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY USUALLY GO FOR. THEY ARE DEFINATELY STRAIB DEPENDANT TOO. THEY LOVE ANYTHING BLUEBERRY BUT DONT TOUCH THE REST. MAYBE THERE IS JUST A COUPLE IN "THAT BAG". ILL HAVE TO GO AT NIGHT AND CHECK. IM EXCITED. MY FLOWERS ARE EXPLODING IN SIZE AND TRICHOME PRODUCTION. SEEIMG THAT I THINK THIS IS A NUTRIENT ISSUE AND MY FEEDING DAY WAS TODAY I FED EVERYTHING 1.75 PINTS OF NUTRIENT MIX TO EVERYTHING BUT THE 10 GALLON WHICH GOT LIKE 3/4 OF THE POWERADE BOTTLE. PLANTS SEEM HAPPY AFTER I FEED SO MAYBE I SHOULD UP THE FEEDING SCHEDULE. SINCE THE SOIL WAS ALREADY MOIST AND IT RAINED YESTERDAY I FED WITHOUT WATERING. HOPFULLY THAT WILL BE OKAY. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE. Went back over at six and WOW! After this nice sunny day buds have swollen. Plants seemed to love the nutes. I think the nutes in my soil are fairly depleted so I just needed to adjust my feeding schedule. I didn't notice anymore calcium deficiency looking spots and I had defoliated a lot of leaves. Super excited moving forward. Pistols are changing color on one 10th p phenome and retracting into buds. This is is the fun time. As long as I can avoid the rot. 9/2 Says it didn't rain last night but my plants are dripping wet. If course the leafblower kept dying so I had to shake everything by hand. Hope that's good enough. Gonna be real sunny. Bags still had some heft to them. I'll check them later. Found a few leaves with what looks like the calcium deficiency on the sane plant and I just removed them. I really don't think it's anything to worry about. I'll update later. UPDATE: Went back around 10 and everything looked good and was dry. Brought the leaf blower to be fixed. Should have it by the end of the day. Found and killed another pillar and some ants. Took a picture of a lady bug/beetle. This sunshine is making my buds explode!! I was thinking about checking again tonight but I think I can wait and water tomorrow. Bags are still fairly heavy. I did take another couple leaves off the plant that lopks like it might have a deficiency or something. The stalks are bigger than the bottom of a baseball bat. A couple almost like the fat end. Some 9f the best plants I've grown. I also took three short videos of a plant of each strain. Maybe if it's short it will upload quicker. Happy growing! UPDATE: I was back and forth today. I did some pruning and defoliation and then I noticed that my canary was light as hell. I waited until night and went back and had a couple starting to droop so i watered everything 2 gallons except the 10 and tub got 1. Everytime I see them it seems like they are bigger 9/3 Used the leaf blower this morning to get the dew off the buds. I shook them by hand before that. I'm noticing like a little army of lady bug larvae so any aphids I have are not going to be a problem. I have adults as well but is the babies that eat 10x what the adults do. I'm hoping they'll wipe put any bud worms. The weather is great this week all sunny. Making the buds explode in size and increasing terp production. This is the strongest smelling cannabis I've grown. Each strain. Has its own unique "funk" to it. Purple punch is really sweet and floral smelling. 10th planet is more gassy. I need to get some yellow sticky traps. I saw a couple fungus gnats on my canary. A late blooming blueberrycheese. It's the one that dries out the fastest but is more sativa leaning and drinks TONS of water. I have two that are that phenome. Losing yellow leaves but exploding with flowers. Noticed a couple more leaves with that calcium deficiency looking leaf. I just defoliated it. I'm really happy where I'm at right now. 9/4 Plants were covered in water this morning and the leaf blower wouldn't start. I shook everything off by hand. Each strain hasits own STRONG unique scent. One tenth planet phenome smells like bubble gum. I think I've got like two weeks and some of the flowers on ONE plant should be done. I'm planning to take the top half and then letting the bottom mature longer of its not whete I want it to be. The weather has been gorgeous. Sunny today. I'll need to water tonight I'm sure. UPDATE: WENT OVER AT 3PM AND PLANTS WERE DRY. WATERED EVERYTHING 2 GALLONS BIT THE 10 AND THE TUB. THEY GOT ONE. FLOWER DEVELOPMENT IS VISIBLE FROM MORNING TO NIGHT. I HAVE A TENTH PLANET THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE READY FOR HARVEST (AT LEAST THE TOPS) WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. PISTOLS ARE RETRACTING AND TURNING ORANGE ON THIS PHENOME AND RED ON THE OTHERS. I AM LOVING HOW THIS STRAIN LOOKS GROWING. I HAVE REAL HIGH HOPES FOR IT. I FAILED TOO MANY TIMES UPLOADING THE VIDEO AND PICTURES I TOOK SO ILL DO THAT TOMORROW. I CANT BELIEVE THE SWELKING GOING ON AND THE AROMA! THIS IS SUCH A WONDETFUL YLTIME OF YEAR. STILL FIND8NY SMALL SPOTS OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE CAL DEFICIENCY IN THAT ONE PLANT. IM STILL UNCERYAIN WHWT TO DO WITH THAT ONE.

Hey Growers! The girls have officially packed their bags and moved into a much fancier place. The new setup comes loaded with perks: an automated controller that keeps the environment dialed in 24/7, managing every device so the VPD stays exactly where it should be (because apparently plants are picky like that). Drainage? Automated. Irrigation? Also automated. Basically, the grow room is now smarter than most of us on a Monday morning. Thanks to multi-frequency fertirrigation, the girls are getting up to 6 daily watering cycles, keeping the substrate pH stable and nutrient-ready at all times. Less babysitting for me, more thriving for them: a deal I'm very happy to sign. As for the Sticky Broccolis: they've been stacking nodes like it's a competition (well… it is), staying noticeably tougher and more resilient than their roommates. They just went through a transplant, so I'm giving them a couple of days to settle in before going in with the topping. No rush: good things come to those who wait. Can't wait to see how they handle this new tailored setup from here on out. Happy growing everyone — and as always, tips, tricks, and roasts are all welcome! 🌱

Shape Day … take many Leafs off Think 2 Weekend maybe

Nothing special this week, just watching them buds grow :)

I have grow 3 plants . number one 5 gallon smart pot. number two in a 3 gallon smart pot .and number three in a 5 gallon smart pot part of the difference between number two is because of limited space to grow big root system to support a bigger plant. They have been a very enjoyable plant to grow with an incredibly powerful smell impossible to grow stealth unless you have a good carbon filter can wait two post weight for each plant and to have a test smoke I Will Wait approximately between 7 to 14 days until the main stem snaps and a crunchy sound tell me they're ready then I check for dry weight and them jar them for curing. Day 9 off drawing and I pull out a branch to have a smoke test it is incredibly potent and a wonderful smoke despite not being cure it's very smooth but they're not ready for me to jar them I don't like to deal with mold or being opening the jars every few hours that's why I dry it thoroughly and use humidity packs so I don't have to deal with issues after weight and them jar them for curing. This are the weight plant number one 156. 36 grams and number two 76. 88 grams plant #3 72.12 grams. Already had a smoke tester this stuff its a couchlock beautiful lovely smoke come by a powerful High I recommend this train to anybody who can accommodate for the strong odour. lovely strain I want to try this one again it is like I citric skunk smell very pleasant and Powerful. I was very surprised how heavy and thick the buds were in the small plant compared to the others what an incredible nice plant to grow. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Hi everyone this week was okay it seems to have gotten a little bit unwell with the leaf rust I have treated it today though. like with the banana purple punch it was due to me not having my carbon filter with me at the time so I had higher humidity at night but that is all sorted now . Feeding with 400 PPM of the X pert nutrient line pH at 5.8 hopefully she will get better I can see it's stunted her a little bit. See what next week brings thank you for looking at the diary and remember it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

It was easy to grow i defoliated before flower kicks in, tje yield is decent i get around 90 grams out of these seeds

Flush at day 51. 7 days and I cut

Another solid week of growth!! The two big plants nearly doubled their height and both had a lot of undergrowth this week! I plan on trying my hand at LST tomorrow. I added more soil into the pots yesterday. I still feel it is too low but I don't want to shock the plants too badly. I watered after lifting the plants up some and adding the soil. I plan on feeding them tomorrow night. The first white pistils have sprouted and there is a distinct aroma of marijuana in the air!! I hope they hold off another week before really start to flower. It's amazing how fast a month can go by! I may not keep the little plant past this week. We'll see if she makes it that far... Here's to another week of healthy growing!! Peace!
