Hi there! First week I have looked after the plants alone and they are excellent. Fruit Tree is getting the fastest and the densest buds plant beyond them so I think she is the fastest. No more ferilization for her just clean water every day I am planning to harvest at the beggining of February. Rest of them look fine maturing with time buds getting thick. All good so far back.next week.

Hallo liebe Growfreunde, Diese Woche verlƤuft sehr angenehm, keine MƤngel oder sonstige Beschwerden 😁. Die automatische BewƤsserung wurde angeschaltet nachdem ich erstmal von oben gegossen habe. 1l Wasser pro Pflanze mit dem Enhancer von Greenhouse. Werde dass alle 2 Wochen so machen aber sonst gibt's nur PH korrigiertes Wasser. Dünger wurde ja der Erde untergemischt. Ach ja, CalMag kommt immer mit ins Wasser bei mir. Wie man gut sehen kann entwickeln sie sich toll soweit. Die Peyote Critical ist um einiges langsamer im Wachstum als die anderen, aber sie sieht sehr gesund aus. Die Gorilla Zkittlez entwickelt sich auch gut, aber liegt eben fast 10 Tage hinterher. Aber was solls, dann bleibt sie eben etwas kleiner wie die anderenšŸ˜…. Ich denke am Sonntag nƤchste Woche geht's für alle in die Blütephase. Naja, mal schauen... mach am Sonntag nochmal ein Update.šŸ˜‰ Bis dahin euch allen einen guten Zeit. Ciaoiiiii

After 4 days of heavy rain, the first mold appeared... So I spent about 18 hours searching for plants and picking out mold with tweezers After last year's experience with another seed bank, I expected the plants to be very affected by mold, but I have to say that Fast Buds genetics coped very well! Mold appear mainly on blisters to which the stem of the leaf leads water, which then collects between the stem and the blister I trimmed the plants more so that the air flows better and that water does not stick to them The plants look healthy and the flowers are gaining strength Especially the dark purple phenotypes look very dense and hard. it also looks very resistant to mold Very pleasant sweet fruity scent I haven't seen my children for 3 days, it's raining extremely ... the last time I was chased out by swarms of ants in the early evening, I've never experienced this before, there were maybe a million of them and they sat on me and on the plants I'm finally going to visit them tomorrow, I expect I'll have a lot of work to do with mold and I hope the swarms of ants haven't harmed them in any way

I didn't prepare this crop well enough, I still need to work on a schedule. I tried to correct processes that I thought were wrong but they were actually correct so I got a new overfeeding.

Despite her flaws due to my own fault she was giving me a real cheese smell but now the wedding cake comes through and sweetens it up. She smells amazing

🌿 Cosmic Noodles — Week 6 Flower (Week 10 from Seed) ✦ Context & Run Setup 12/12 from seed. Autoflower expression under controlled flowering conditions — a hybrid rhythm between speed and structure. What we’re seeing now is the result of early structure + stable environment + precise feeding. And also… one lesson plant that deserves respect. āø» āš ļø The Overwater Plant — A Necessary Decision This week, we made a call. Not emotional — responsible. One plant, previously pushed through intentional overwatering conditions, did not recover. Root zone remained compromised, oxygen exchange was limited, and overall plant vitality continued declining. What we observed: • Persistent droop and lack of turgor recovery • Slowed or stalled bud development • Increased risk profile (humidity pockets, potential for rot/microbial issues) At this stage in flower, the plant wasn’t just underperforming — she was becoming a liability to the room. So the decision was made: āœ‚ļø Harvest early, remove risk, protect the ecosystem. Yield was minimal — but that was never the point. This plant served as a living case study. šŸ’” Key takeaway for the community: Overwatering is not about ā€œtoo much waterā€ — it’s about lack of oxygen in the root zone. Once that balance is lost for too long, recovery becomes unlikely. Respect to her. She taught more than she produced. āø» 🌱 The Rest of the Garden — Absolute Explosion Now… the contrast. The remaining plants are doing the exact opposite. They are: • Vigorous • Structurally stacked • Visibly happy ✦ What we’re seeing: • Bud sites fully formed and stacking aggressively • Dense, symmetrical structure across the canopy • Leaves holding a deep, healthy green • Strong transpiration and daily drinking rhythm These girls are not just growing — they are driving energy exactly where it needs to go. āø» šŸ’§ Water, Feeding & Plant Demand Current intake: • 1.6 – 1.8L per plant / 24h This tells us everything: • Root systems are active • Transpiration is strong • Environment is dialed ✦ Parameters: • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 60% • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • COā‚‚: ~1000 ppm This combination is creating: → Efficient nutrient uptake → Strong metabolic activity → Continuous flower development They are eating, drinking, and converting. āø» 🌸 Bud Development — Where It Gets Beautiful At ~Week 6 flower: • Calyx stacking is now visibly dominant • Buds are transitioning from formation → mass accumulation • Structure is tightening, weight is coming in And the key detail: šŸ‘‰ The plants are still pushing fresh growth, not fading early → This means the engine is still running strong You’ve built a system where: • Energy is available • Environment supports it • Genetics are expressing fully That’s why they look like this. āø» 🌿 Plant Size & Structure • Average height: ~1.2 meters • Even canopy with strong tops • Light penetration still effective This is the sweet spot: šŸ‘‰ Big enough to produce šŸ‘‰ Controlled enough to manage āø» šŸ” Why They’re Thriving (While One Didn’t) This is the real lesson of this week. The difference wasn’t genetics. It was the root environment. Healthy plants: • Oxygenated root zone • Stable wet/dry cycle • Consistent nutrient availability Overwatered plant: • Oxygen deprivation • Root stress → reduced uptake • Cascade effect into weak growth Everything above the soil is just a reflection of what happens below it. āø» šŸ”® What to Expect Next Coming into the next phase: ✦ Expect: • Continued bud swelling • Increased density and weight • Possible early signs of fade (depending on feeding strategy) • Higher demand for stability (environment becomes critical now) ✦ Watch for: • Humidity control (as buds thicken) • Airflow through the canopy • Any signs of internal moisture pockets We are entering the ā€œeverything countsā€ phase. āø» šŸ¤ Closing Words To everyone watching this journey: • Day one supporters • Silent observers • Question askers • Even the doubters This is for all of you. To the community, to GD, to the sponsors, to the genetics — thank you for being part of this process. Because this isn’t just a grow. It’s: → Learning → Sharing → Improving together āø» And to the garden… One plant taught us a lesson. The others are showing us what happens when everything aligns. This is balance. šŸ“” DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW šŸ™ Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š šŸ“ø 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.

3-11-2019 This Northern is slowly bouncing back but the damage has been done, she is producing but not how I would like it. Hopefully she will produce some tight buds. 5-11-2019 Pump Quit- Not much I can do at this point other than go it as Deep Water Culture. Root mass is to well established to attempt a removal.

Week 5: Bud Bulking Bonanza As the fifth week unfolds, excitement brews among growers as their prized plants enter a phase of explosive growth. Golden, the ever-watchful cultivator, observes with delight as a subtle change takes hold – a sign that the harvest is on the horizon. The once delicate buds are now transforming into hefty, resin-dripping colas, reminiscent of robust donkey dicks. It's a sight to behold for any cannabis connoisseur, promising a bountiful yield and the fulfillment of months of dedicated care.

Blüten werden inzwischen sehr Harzig und der Duft nimmt zu. Dem Giesswasser wird täglich 1:10 Jauche zugegen. Zu dem jedes zweite Gießen Pro Sugar von Grow Pro ein Kohlenhydrat Blütedünger(von der Mary Jane ein Tester). Zu dem gibt es ein bis zweimal in der Woche Seafeed Xtra von envii. Die ersten Blätter haben sich unten entfernt daher gebe ich gerade wieder Stickstoff zu den Pflanzen. Auch wenn es nur noch diese Woche war danach nur noch Blütedünger. Zu dem habe ich Basilikum gepflanzt, Dill, Ringelblume und Koriander gesäat am Anfang der Woche und zum Ende noch Lupine und Rot Klee.

7ĀŖ Settimana di Fioritura šŸ’ La bella Sweet Amnesia Haze šŸ’ššŸ¤© sta facendo maturare i suoi fiori.. Mi sembra che abbia succhiato un po troppi nutrienti da se stessa, per questo abbiamo deciso di darle un goccio di Green Sensation in aggiunta alla fertilizzazione Ph Perfect di Advanced Nutrients.

🧔 ACAPULCO GOLD 🧔 This is becoming a very interesting pheno! She has developed 3 tops, and growing really well, nice and healthy, and is looking so far šŸ‘Œ I have a full tent, so I'm considering letting the plants in this grow, grow up as I've got plenty of head space but very little horizontal space. This one is a Sativa, and so I am preparing for a tall plant. This was what I did this week: 23.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing no nutrients. PH: 6.6 PPM: 307 26.6.25 I gave 2l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with no nutrients; PPM: 333 PH: 6.4 27.6.25: I top dressed the plant today, I watered yesterday. Top dress: ā™” 2 cups Worm Castings ā™” 1 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ā™” 1/2 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ā™” 1 TBSP Cinnamon 29.6.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0-6.2 and containing the following nutrients per 5 litres; ā™” 1 Tsp Cal-Mag by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.0-6.2 PPM: 1300 Thanks for checking out my diary šŸ’šāœŒļøšŸƒšŸ˜ŠšŸŒ±

**Update** 96.5 grams dry from 1 Autoflower! Amazing smells, still has some of the šŸˆ funk. She needs to cure to let the Terps and Flavors come out. She is still very sticky and resinous. Will update once a week or two of cure is done, but with the 1 joint I smoked, full heavy hitter, body buzz and heavy head high. Looking forward to the finished product. This plant flourished with little work on my part. Good nutrients, and not being too hands on let this beast do her own thing. I would definitely recommend as a beginner strain/auto flower to go with, she is easy to see through to the end. Didn’t really need much attention until flower came on and she fed hard for phosphorus and potassium while she stacked. I’ve got some of her cousins already sprouted and am looking forward to trying some different techniques to see what she can do! Happy growing all šŸŒ±šŸ˜Ž

Es ging stetig bergauf in Woche 2. Geplant ist toppen und später ein scrog zum stützen und zum Angleichen der Höhe. Der Wurzelstimulator von House & Garden performed mMn sehr gut, keinerlei negative Reaktion der Pflanze. An Tag 15 wird getoppt und dann bin ich gespannt auf die Blüte.
