This week I had to fight against a rapidly dropping pH value. Starting at 5.8 on Monday, it soon dropped to 5.4 on Thursday. Yes, I calibrated my pH meter and that's when I added some baking soda. That stuff works really well for my with regards to raising the pH value. Two teaspoon handles and it shot back to 6.2. I thinned my additional nutrient solution with the half volume of RO water to keep the EC down. 1.8 seems to be too much for this beauty but around 1.7 looks spot on.

Some leaves starting yellowing and dying as plant is focusing on bud growth. Decided to run some defoliation techniques to allow nutrients to not be wasted. Didn’t want to stress the plant too much as I did this earlier and don’t want to cause any hermies will monitor and feed regularly

1/22/2024 - Day 22 veg: today is the 1st day of week 4, and every is going well. Lightly watered just to keep the top soil moist, but my moisture level further down is still good. She is showing some very minor tip burn, but nothing I'm concerned about. 1/27/2024 - Day 27: was out of town the last few days, and she is definitely starting to flower already. Seeing some very minor tip burn, but other than that she appears healthy. Not as big as I would have like to see her get before flowering, but it looks like the issue with the foiler spray stunted her a bit.

Gave them every 2-3 Days 2 Litre of Water now. Just once added CalMag Began to spread the lower Branches out. Was a little bit late. But i don’t want to give them much Stress Topped the last Bilbo at the End of the Week And the Deficiency goes away One Main Branch broken but i fixed it with Tape and LST Wire

🌱 Nectar Drip — Week 11 (GD) | Week 5 Flower (12/12 From Seed) 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here We started this run 12/12 straight from seed, allowing each plant to express itself naturally without forcing a vegetative phase. From the beginning, the intention was simple: • Minimal intervention • Let structure build organically • Observe before acting As the weeks progressed: • Plants transitioned smoothly into flower • Structure began stacking early • Phenotypic differences became very clear Now here we are — mid-flower, where everything starts to reveal its true character. ⸻ 🌿 This Week — The Garden Speaks This week is all about confirmation. The plants are telling us, very clearly: Less touch, more trust. • Untouched plants → massive, explosive structure • Trained plant → slower development In a 12/12 from seed run, this is a key lesson: 👉 Plants behave as if they are already on a clock 👉 Every stress = time they don’t have And they showed it. ⸻ ❄️ Frost Report — “Queens on Frost” What we’re seeing now is not just resin… it’s intention. • Trichome production is fully activated • Sugar leaves are coated • Bud sites are stacking with visible resin heads early This is that stage where: You stop “hoping” for quality… and start confirming it ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Uptake We kept everything consistent this week: • Temps: ~28°C • RH: ~65% • Strategy: Leaf VPD-driven approach • Water intake: ~1.8L per plant/day Even slightly above “textbook” temps, the balance works because: 👉 Humidity supports transpiration 👉 Plants are actively drinking and processing Result: • No stress signals • Strong metabolism • Consistent nutrient uptake ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity — Reading the Canopy Light intensity across the canopy is currently ranging between 800 and 1500 PPFD, depending on plant size and proximity to the light. This variation is intentional — taller plants naturally sit closer to the source, receiving higher photon density, while smaller ones remain in a slightly softer zone. Rather than forcing an even canopy, we’re allowing each plant to find its own optimal exposure. The key observation this week is simple: they are loving it. No signs of light stress, no bleaching — just strong uptake, active drinking, and increased resin production. It’s a good reminder that in this stage, light is not just about intensity, but about how each plant interacts with it individually. ⸻ 🍃 Defoliation — Controlled Chaos This week we introduced defoliation. Let’s be honest: It went a bit deeper than planned. But still within reason. What we did: • Opened inner canopy • Improved light penetration • Increased airflow through stacking sites What to watch now: • Recovery speed • Bud swelling response over the next 3–5 days In this style of run, defoliation is not about control — 👉 It’s about guidance without interruption ⸻ Nutrient Talk — pH Control (Lemon Kick vs pH Plus) Let’s make this one educational. 🍋 Lemon Kick • Organic-based pH regulator • Naturally lowers pH • Adds a mild buffer effect What it is: Gentle More “biological-friendly” Works well in living or semi-organic setups What it is not: Not instant/aggressive Not ideal for large corrections ⸻ ⚗️ pH Plus • Mineral-based pH increaser What it is: Fast Precise Stable adjustments What it is not: Not organic No added biological value ⸻ 🧠 Takeaway We’re not choosing sides — we’re using tools. • Small corrections → Lemon Kick • Bigger adjustments → pH Plus Balance ideology. ⸻ 🌳 Structure & Canopy • One plant clearly dominating in size • Others following similar stacking patterns • Internodal spacing tightening • Bud sites forming consistently across the canopy Everything points to: 👉 Strong mid-flower foundation ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect — Next Week Now it gets serious. Expect: • Bud swelling phase to begin • Increased density in existing sites • Even heavier trichome production • Possible first signs of terpene shift Also: 👉 Plants will tell us how they felt about the defoliation 👉 This will define how much we intervene again (or not) ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude — From Grower to Growers To everyone walking this path with us: • The OGs who’ve been here since day one • The new eyes just discovering the journey • The supporters, the silent watchers, and yes — even the critics If it crossed our path, it shaped the energy. To: • The genetics behind these queens • The nutrition supporting the run • The GrowDiaries platform for hosting this journey • And the entire community pushing the culture forward From grower to growers — respect. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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 a todos, día 46 de floración, estamos entrando en la última etapa de la floración (deben quedar 3 o 4 semanas más de floración), han comenzado a mostrarse quemaduras de luz en varias zonas de las planta por lo que bajé la potencia de la luz un 15% y agregué silicio a la mezcla de nutrientes, me pregunto si necesitare aumentar el calcio, los cogollos han comenzado a ganar peso, pronto debería agregar tutores para evitar que las ramas caigan, para la próxima semana comenzaré a bajar la salinidad de a poco. Saludos!

It went pretty good this week (*I'm sorry because of ly work I could not take pictures this week so you have 2 videos*). I will not cut anymore branches before turn into flowering next week, normally it will be a 20 week grow from seed to budd I hope great results with this Cheese from Greenhouse Seeds Company :)

420Fastbuds-FBA2505 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Left these ones out a bit to long and not nearly enough love, so they suffered a bit but that's ok. I am going to experiment and try water curing the buds. First time ever using this method and I think it will make a good little project. No idea how to it will turn out, been reading it will remove most of the smells and that sucks but the smoke is very clean and light. Only time will tell. take about 7 days to fully water cure. bud washing helped get rid of a lot of extra that stuck to them outside.

The plants are exploding in growth. Especially the gorilla cookies. I need to start doing a better job of watering my girls. I means its hard having to mix up all these nutrients at one time so I water my plants 2 at a time. I water 2 one day then the other 2 the next day. Im trying this method out cause it makes watering not so intense during dlower.
