Just been playing about with a DIY co2 generator with sugar water and yeast considering paying out for a better system and meter but at least I can still monitor to a degree but I don't think this co2 meter is up to much cop...... I've made a co2 bucket with an air pump still using sugar yeast 2x tomatoes and a potatoe puree'd 1x teaspoon active brewers yeast and 2.5 liters of water in a 5l bucket with sealed lid ratchet strapped shut sat on a 20cm square heat mat set on a thermostat at 24c to 27c temps sits about 26c for a prolonged co2 release levels have defo increased spiked quite high then settled approx 1200 to 1500ppm or the meter is wank but either way its adding co2 just for how long though ? I've read up on the fungus method which last 6months so I'll be sorting that soon

Day 31 / 01.05. The Plants really have taken off with growth since I turned on the autopot system, even the Super Lemon Haze which seemed to be growing quite slow in the beginning. I filled the reservoir on day 28 with an EC of 1.7 mS/cm. Currently I am fighting a bit with the humidity as it tends to rise quite a bit.

Pulled the orange cookie today and couldn’t be happier, the yield is massive, the buds are dense, fruity sweet , sticky and pungent. This plant is prolly my best so far thanks to Dutchfem for another awesome strain . If you’re looking for something special give this strain a try . I’ve smoked a bit of this already and it’s Girl Scout cookies all over then just like a pallet cleanser of citrus freshness that keeps you coming back fir more .

5/3 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS. STUNTED PURPLE PUNCH THAT TOTALLY SRIED OUT GOT HALF A SHOT GLASS. Doesn't seem possible but the plants look bigger and better than they did yesterday. Cups are really drying out fast. Takes a while for it to drink up that little shot glass of water. Sits right on top for a while. I know they'll tell me when they're ready to transplant but I'm planning about a week week and a half until transplant to the 3's. I'm moving my cage and getting supports setup ahead of time. Soil is properly stored. Need to sanitize grow bags and tools. I'm super excited for this year. At least this year I don't have to start out fixing others problems from clones. 5/4 Plants still continuing to grow at a rapid pace. Stunted purple punch is doing better. Plants seem like they are using more water. Soil seemed dry. Ill stop qnd ask my buddy but everything LOOKS awesome. UPDATE: I stopped and showed my buddy some pictures and videos and after getting some advice I'm considering increasing water intake on the 10th planet and the blueberry cheese. He said I could go up to 1 1/2 shot glasses or even two and he didn't think I'd see problems. Just watch for run off. I figured I'd weigh the dry cup of soil and see what the other plants weigh before I make my decision. This dude has definitely helped in the past and hasn't been wrong. I think either way it would be fine. I got a QUICK peak at them around 3pm and they were all "praying to the sun" and their was company so I didn't weigh the plants considering in that glance they looked even better than before! 5/5 SOMEWHERE HERE I MESSED UP THE DATE AND I CANT SEEM TO FIND WHETE SO IM JUST CORRECTING IT HETE AND MOVING FORWARD. I weighed a dry cup of soil which weighed about 180-190 grams today. One of the 10th planet seedlings weighed in at like 190 so they definitely are getting a dry cycle and need more water. Same with the Blueberry cheese. They were light and are growing like crazy. Thing is they look so perfect I don't wanna change anything. I spoke to my commercial buddy and he said I could increase to two shot glasses without issue he thought. I decided on a shot glass and a half for the 10th planet and Blueberry Cheese Cake. I talked to another grower (my buddies mom whos very familiar with the strain) about Barney's purple punch and I guess they look good and take a while to really "take off". When I weighed some of the purple punch the weight of a small plant was in the 220's. I decided to try 'half a shot glass' instead of a full one for the purple punch. UPDATE: I watered between 5am and 6am and went to check around 11. It's 11:11 right now! I wish for a successful harvest and healthy plants! This morning the plants seemed a little droopy. It could've been in my head but looking at them after watering and they look substantially better. Leaves up! Praying to the sun! It's not going to be long until the 10th planet and Blueberry Cheese will need to be transplanted. I just want to make sure I've got a solid rootball before I even think of transplanting. 5/6 WOW. Adjusting the water made the plants take off faster! I felt the cups and they want more room! Unfortunately I left my soil in the garage. I'm wondering how long it will take to warm up otherwise these girls would be on their new temporary 3 gallon homes. Purple punch REALLY took off. Might be good to give the soil a day or two to warm up. Tomorrow's my wife's birthday though....hope she likes transplanting cannabis....that was a joke. UPDATE: I sanitized a tote and mixed 3 part soil fox farm ocean forest, happy frog and 707 in a bin. I then chose the blueberry cheese cake to test for transplant. I was afraid plants were dry but I stupidly went ahead anyhow. I tried the cut the solo cup method and it wouldn't cut down all the way. Anyway u thought i lost that first one but I didn't. Not yet anyway. 45 mins later and they looked great. Still I had put everything away and decided to give the others a few more days. Plus my wife's birthday is tomorrow. I did get some outdoor prep done. 5/7 NO TRANSPLANT SHOCK. All 5 blueberry cheese are in their new homes and loving it. It's my wife's birthday so I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow to transplant the 10th planet and maybe a couple more for the purple punch. We'll see. Watered the plants in solos. Purple punch got half a shot glass. 10th planet got a full one. Soil should be nice and moist for the transplant. Oh and that ripping the solo cup tip sucks. It NEVER goes all tge way to the bottom and it's like thicker or something down there. Important to have slim scissors or something to snip that tiny bottom piece at the end where it tapers. 5/8 Blueberry Cheese Cake is doing great and doesn't seem like it has any stress. Didn't water. Successfully transplanted 10th planet. Nice white roots. Looks like it's going to be a good year. More wotlrk to do. 5/9 10th planet is looking GREAT! Transplants have gone great this year. Purple punch will be transplanted tonight or tomorrow. I watered the purple punch with less than a shot glass. I'd like to get them transplanted today. I have an idea this is going to be a good season. UPDATE: Went to the house around 6 and brought in a couple more bags of soil so that I can finish my transplants tomorrow. Team #nowater lol seems to be doing great lol. I'll give then water tomorrow. As long as they aren't doing so good. With everything that's going on seeing these succeed feels great. Healthiest plants I've grown so far.

Slowly going into flower. I mean real slow lol. It's showed some pistills about a week ago and still you really have to look for them a week later. My veg lights are 5700k and are on 24/7. Guna let them stretch a bit more and flip to my flower light's 3500k and change time to 20/4 sometime this week

if i grew this again i'd make a mother plant, take clones and veg for short time and flip sooner then I did this round. Although people say lec 315 can be 18 inches from canopy (exactly where the platinum yeti was when finished stretching) the trichomes were just milkying up at day 66 of flower prob can run this one a little longer then i did to increase yield a bit more to allow buds to fatten out more and go more to amber trichomes. Smell: Gas ⛽ on jar opening. Ground up has Vanilla 🍪 perfume Taste: Movie theatre butter 🍿 fuel⛽ baked buttery vanilla cookies 🍪 Medical Effects: night time smoke! crazy couch lock, very sedating, helped me sleep😴 strong pain reliever. narcotic type high, slows thoughts down to clear focus calm. I felt glued to my chair more then any strain I've ever tried before.  Great stress reliever Notes: refer to this one as the "purple pheno" One of the most attractive smelling strains I've ever come across👃👀 when you smell it you want to smoke it. after smoking it you want to smoke more of it... but its pretty potent so this one is likely to end your night once you start on it!😎👌💨😴😴 yielded 23 grams of flower dry #3 green pheno- Smell: Lime with subtle skunk & burnt rubber Taste: Lime peels and burnt rubber Medical Effects: Very Sedating, stress reducer. slows thoughts down Notes: stayed green entire grow, yield 22.4 grams dry flower

Week5 the temperatures dropped a bit and I did what I could...❄️❄️ Earlier this week I had to flush this little one because I thought she had nitrogen toxicity. Maybe not... But From the water that ran out I realized that the soil was full of nuts and after the flush I didn't give it any more water. as I use a 12 liter vase, you can imagine how much water was retained in the root system. for that reason and because the water is good quality and has an amount of micronutrients, I didn't have to worry about giving water this week. let's see next week, wish me luck 🤞☺️🌞

Final painting and floor trim completed. Walls are white and bright. I started to construct the main flood table. It is made of 2x3's and a sheet of chipboard. I fastened some rails at the perimeters and used caulking to seal all gaps. I will coat the face of the chipboard with a polyurea flat roof coating to make it completely watertight. I have 1/4 : 12 slope on it right now so that it drains to the reservoir end. I stained the sides of the table grey to match the floor trim because ambiance matters Shelves are up to hold my nutes/test pens/genetics/nug/papers/etc... I brought in one of the 3 HLG 550 clone qb's to test for light as I have never seen them in action. WOW!! Having one running is quite intense, I cant wait to see what all 3 going over the 4x10 area will look like (with shades on of course) A minor adjustment is needed to the height of the A/C exhaust vent. It is currently too high by 2" and needs to be lowered. Kind of a pain in the ass, but needs to be done for the table to fit snug. Previous total spend $2430 This weeks spend = $50 (hardware) $165 - killer deal on ebay for 8 inch fan/filter/ducting. open box, new

She's a happy lady just started preflower I think. Im also trying out fox farms tiger bloom for the first time. So we shall see how that goes. Her structure is solid so hopefully she will have some nice buds to hold up. I'll do some minor LST from here out but her main shape that I want has been achieved. Any more will be to get more light to flower sites as needed.

🌌 Cosmic Noodles — Week 9 From Seed (≈ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed) Divided Report — Growth vs Stress ⸻ Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run continues under 12/12 from seed, now entering: • 🌱 Week 9 from seed • 🌸 ≈ Week 5 of flowering At this stage, plants are expected to be: • Fully transitioned into flower • Actively stacking buds • Stabilizing structure after stretch However, this week became something more than a standard update… 👉 It became a controlled contrast experiment We now have three distinct expressions in the same environment: • Plant A → Stretch-driven structure • Plant B → Open, balanced, high-performance plant • Overwatered Plant → Intentionally stressed (root zone) Same room. Same feed. Same conditions. Different outcomes. ⸻ 🌊 The Overwatered Plant — Controlled Stress What was done This plant was intentionally overwatered to observe: • Root response • Recovery potential • Impact on flowering progression ⸻ 🔬 What overwatering actually does • Saturated medium → oxygen depletion in root zone • Roots lose function → nutrient uptake collapses • Plant shows deficiency symptoms without deficiency • Metabolism slows → flower development stalls ⸻ 👁️ Current Observations (Week 9 / Flower Week 5) From the visual timeline: • Heavy, swollen leaf droop (not thirst-related) • Necrotic/burnt leaf edges • Weak flower formation • Overall loss of vigor • No strong signs of recovery yet 👉 This is consistent with root hypoxia stress ⸻ 🛠️ Corrective Actions Taken • ✅ Full drainage of excess water • ✅ Substrate allowed to dry • ✅ Feeding paused (critical decision) • ✅ No additional stress applied This approach respects one key principle: 🌱 “Recovery is biological, not forced.” ⸻ ⚖️ Current Status — Honest Assessment At this moment: 👉 The plant is not showing a strong rebound And that’s important to state clearly. ⸻ 🔮 Possible Outcomes 🌱 Scenario 1 — Late Recovery (possible, but limited probability) • New growth improves • Leaf degradation slows • Buds continue developing (reduced yield expected) ⸻ ☠️ Scenario 2 — Progressive Decline (more likely) • Continued leaf death • Minimal metabolic recovery • Poor flower development ⸻ 👉 Either way, this plant has already fulfilled its purpose: It became a living demonstration of root zone importance ⸻ 🌿 Plant A — Stretch Expression Structure • Taller, more vertical growth • Longer internodal spacing • More “reaching” behavior Current State (Week 5 Flower) • Healthy foliage overall • Bud sites forming consistently • No stress signals 👉 This phenotype leans toward: 🌱 Structure over density ⸻ 🌿 Plant B — The Balanced Beast This one stands out immediately. Structure • Open architecture • Excellent light penetration • Strong lateral branching Response to Defoliation • Fast recovery • No visible stress • Continued aggressive development Flowering Progress • Clean bud stacking • Strong formation across canopy • Uniform development 👉 This is: 🌿 A plant fully aligned with its environment ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — Outcome Analysis Defoliation was applied to the healthy plants. Results: • No slowdown • No shock response • Improved light distribution • Strong continuation of flowering 👉 This confirms: • Timing ✅ • Intensity ✅ • Plant health baseline ✅ ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Stability Check • 🌡️ Temperature → unchanged from previous week • 💧 Feeding → same regimen maintained • ⚖️ No variable changes introduced 👉 Critical insight: Differences observed are not environmental They are root-driven and plant-specific ⸻ 🧠 Key Lesson of Week 9 🌱 “In flower, roots dictate everything.” Even under identical conditions: • Healthy roots → explosive growth • Stressed roots → systemic collapse This week shows clearly: 👉 The plant is not just what you feed… 👉 It is what it can absorb and process ⸻ 🎥 Mr. Baggy — Introduction This week also marks: 🎬 The arrival of Mr. Baggy Even if limited visually in this update, his presence is now part of the journey. And honestly… perfect timing. Because this week represents: Real growing Not just pretty plants ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect — Moving Forward 🌿 Plant A & B • Continued bud stacking • Increased density over next 1–2 weeks • Gradual nutrient demand peak • Structure already defined → now focusing on weight ⸻ 🌊 Overwatered Plant Two paths remain: • 🌱 Slow stabilization (best case) • ☠️ Continued decline (most likely) No intervention planned beyond: Observation + stability ⸻ 🙏 Closing Words — From Grower to Growers To everyone following this journey: • The supporters • The silent watchers • The experienced growers • The beginners • The sponsors • The platform • The community 👉 Thank you. Not every week is perfect. Not every plant is beautiful. But every moment teaches something. And that’s the point. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@thedogdoctorofficial NEW 🙏 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. 💚 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.
