Hi 👋 Lady Broccoli ist heute in den 8,5l Pott eingezogen. 40% Coco, 30% Clay Pebbles, 30% Bimsstein + den Rest von der Monster Budmix Tüte. Das sollte bis zum Ende reichen. Ein paar Tage zur Akklimatisierung gebe ich ihr, bevor ich sie in die Blüte schicke. Das Tray2Grow System läuft einwandfrei. Gruß M.

Flower - Week 4 (Days 22-28) Day 22 (Jan 22) I did a reservoir change at 00:30. Fresh numbers: pH 5.81, EC 1588. It felt like a clean reset after all the EC creep and the general “why are the numbers doing this?” vibe. Plant looked strong. No drama in the canopy. Buds forming, everything looked like it was on track. I was honestly feeling pretty good about it. Day 23 (Jan 23) At 01:15 I topped off with about 2½ L pH’d water and landed at EC 1566, pH 5.79. Same session: I did a lot of work - heavy LST in the trellis, supercropped one branch, and pulled a few big fan leaves to open light to lower bud sites. The plant took it like it was nothing. That’s been the story: I mess with her, she just keeps growing and throwing bud sites. Great… but it also means I’m still running out of vertical space. Day 24 (Jan 24) At 01:00 I measured EC 1668, pH 6.0 and did massive LST work again. Also took a picture of the root ball and it looked amazing - clean white, crisp, and huge. That was a relief, because when the canopy is getting dense and the tent is getting tight, it’s nice to know the foundation is bulletproof. I also had to move the oscillating fan because there’s basically no room above canopy anymore. I ended up hanging it upside down under the canopy (not ideal), and I even saw a tiny bit of condensation forming between leaves higher up. That made my stomach drop a bit, because I can’t really “create more air” out of thin air in a packed tent. Day 25 (Jan 25) Around 01:00 I got an EC reading 2000+ that didn’t make sense to me. Plant still looked fine, so I didn’t want to panic-correct based on a single number. But mentally it was annoying: I can handle a plant problem, but I hate “do I even trust the data?” problems. I was still doing LST, but I stopped supercropping because I don’t want to stack stress and end up stunting her - especially with my harvest timeline in the back of my head. It finally seems to have ended the stretch. Good! Day 26 (Jan 26) At lights on (around 00:15) I finally saw it: discoloration on upper fan leaves (right side). It reminded me of the early grow issues. My working theory was that I’d been pouring concentrated low-pH top-off water on the same side, basically creating a micro-zone and stressing one part of the root system. Later I also had that “oh fuck” moment where I noticed the airline to the air stone had disconnected - no idea how long, but likely when I stirred. Luckily roots still looked fine and the plant didn’t look like it had crashed, so I think I dodged a real disaster there. Still… not the kind of surprise you want in DWC. Day 27 (Jan 27) At lights on (00:30) it was a total mess. The upper canopy looked wrecked fast - most top leaves damaged, necrotic spotting, and the tent smelled like wet hay. That’s the kind of smell that instantly makes your brain go to worst-case scenarios. I drained the reservoir and the numbers were completely wack: EC ~3000, pH 6.8. That explained everything. I did a full res change immediately and replaced it with a sane mix: EC 1622, pH 5.63. And honestly, I don’t know if this happened because I switched to a new brand of pH down and screwed up somewhere, or if it’s just the combination of high uptake + my top-off method + small res volume catching up with me. But the timing feels… suspicious. Day 28 (Jan 28) At lights on (around 00:15) the damage hadn’t spread further. The canopy still looks ugly - lots of necrotic patches on leaves - but the plant itself doesn’t look like it’s dying. Buds look largely unaffected, which is a huge relief. I removed the worst leaves, but I’m trying not to go crazy stripping her. The vibe right now is: she took a hard hit, I corrected it as fast as I could, and now the only smart move is stability. No more hero moves. Just let her recover and keep building flowers.

Pink Rosay Auto – Pheno A | Week 2 Vegetation Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure. Today we’re taking a closer look at Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A as she completes another week of healthy vegetative growth and continues building a strong foundation for the weeks ahead. One of the most enjoyable aspects of documenting individual phenotypes is watching their personalities emerge. Some plants announce themselves through explosive growth, some through unusual structure, and others through small visual characteristics that make them instantly recognizable. Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A has already developed one of those memorable traits. A small variegated patch on one of her leaves gives her a unique appearance among the group. Rather than being a concern, it appears to be simply part of her individual expression. The rest of the plant shows excellent vigor, healthy coloration, and strong developmental momentum. In fact, if the label disappeared tomorrow, that little camouflage marking would probably be enough to identify her immediately. Beyond that visual signature, the overall structure is developing beautifully. Looking from above, the canopy displays impressive symmetry with leaves extending evenly around the central growth point. Internodal spacing remains compact without becoming crowded, creating the ideal balance between airflow, light penetration, and future branch development. This is exactly the kind of architecture many growers hope to see during early vegetative growth. The plant is neither stretching nor remaining excessively compressed. Instead, she is stacking nodes efficiently while continuing to expand outward with each new set of leaves. The top growth is particularly encouraging. Fresh leaves are emerging rapidly from the center of the canopy with that vibrant lime-green coloration typical of actively dividing tissue. Every day the growth tip appears to gain more momentum, signaling that the plant has fully settled into her environment and is now focused on accelerating development. From the side profile, another positive characteristic becomes apparent. The stem is beginning to thicken noticeably. This is often overlooked at this stage, but stem development is one of the clearest indicators of overall plant health. A strong stem serves as the structural backbone that will later support branching, flowers, and increased biomass production. Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A appears to be investing energy both above and below the substrate, creating a solid foundation for future growth. Current nutrition remains consistent throughout the project: • Plagron Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Roots – 1 ml/L Each product contributes to a different aspect of development. Terra Grow supplies the primary nutrients required for vigorous vegetative expansion, particularly supporting the production of new leaves, stems, and chlorophyll. Power Roots encourages continued root-zone development, helping the plant establish the underground infrastructure required to sustain increasingly rapid growth. Pure Zym supports microbial activity and assists in breaking down organic material within the substrate, making nutrients more accessible to the plant. Sugar Royal complements the overall feeding strategy by supporting metabolic activity while helping prepare the plant for the stages that lie ahead. The response to this feeding program has been excellent. Leaf color remains uniform. Growth remains steady. No signs of nutrient stress are visible. And perhaps most importantly, the plant continues producing new growth at a consistent pace. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • 12/12 lighting schedule from seed • Day temperatures around 27°C • Night temperatures around 25°C • Relative humidity around 55% • CO₂ approximately 600 ppm • Solution temperature around 21°C • Substrate temperature around 21°C These stable conditions allow the plant to dedicate energy toward growth rather than environmental adaptation, and Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A is clearly taking full advantage of that consistency. One of the most promising observations this week is the rate at which new nodes are forming. Every new layer of growth brings additional branch sites and future flower potential. Looking closely at the node development, it becomes clear that the plant is already preparing the framework that will support later stages of the cycle. For a plant at this age, the balance between vigor, structure, and overall health is impressive. The canopy is expanding. The stem is strengthening. The root zone is likely developing rapidly beneath the surface. And the newest growth remains active and vibrant. All signs point toward a plant that is happy exactly where she is. For now, the objective remains simple: Maintain stability. Continue encouraging root expansion. Allow the canopy to develop naturally. And keep documenting the unique personality that makes this phenotype instantly recognizable. Week 2 closes with Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A looking healthy, balanced, and full of potential for the weeks ahead. Thank you to everyone following along with the journey, sharing knowledge, and supporting growers around the world. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to every member of this incredible growing community. Until next week, growers Love and happy growing everyone. 🌱💚

Starting week 4 of Flower. I expect things to slow on the upwards growth as the plant shifts focus onto the bud development. Ran out of potassium silicate. Will be continuing with out it for the rest of the grow. Ran out of potassium silicate. Will be continuing with out it for the rest of the grow. Started to notice a slight smell when leaving the door open and returning after a few minutes. This started in the last couple days

01/06 - Week 5 of flower - Increased nute feed to daily micro-dosing and increased Silica feed - temps running 72 (F) 65% humidity - Using light brown sugar as carbohydrate. 01/08 - Flowering coming along nicely - Light brown sugar for carbohydrate subs seems to be working effectively - micro dosing has continued with one morning feed before lights out and another 2hrs after lights on. Feeding solution temps are approximately 35 (F) - Drop in water feed temps has increased trichome production. 01/11 - Closing out week 5 of flower strong - light brown sugar feeds continue - amber color setting nicely in all the colas - Approx 3 to 4 weeks before cut-down😎😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌

Can't believe we're at the start week 5 already. This is such a beautiful process. Things are looking good - I started defoliation on all the ants this week. I figure, the little one isn't getting much bigger, the big one is so bushy the light is having trouble getting thru even with LST, and the bag seed seems to be a photoperiod plant so I have all the veg time I need to recover on that one. Update: The bigger girl started flowering on day 32! Let me know what y'all think!

Well it took 2 seeds to get a sprout. 1st seed was a dud, or is really slow to germinate. She just sprouted, and seed husk was still hanging on. She is looking good so far. 🤞🏻everything stays on track. Thank you Medic Grow, Xpert, and Seeds Mafia. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

🌸 Grow Diaries – Permanent Marker, Week 2 Flower 🌸 This week is special on many levels. Not only are our Permanent Marker queens thriving in their second week of flower, but it’s also a milestone for the Dognabis Cup: the welcome packs are on their way! So everyone, stay tuned to the postman and the doorbell — good things are coming. ✉️📦 The Cup itself is more than just a grow, it’s a celebration. It’s about sharing knowledge, experiences, and love for the plant. It’s about learning together, lifting each other up, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Sharing is caring, and this Cup is built on that principle. I’m truly honored to be creating this, and I hope all participants enjoy the ride. On the nature side 🌍🐝, I want to pause for a moment to appreciate the bees. They are true lifesavers for our planet, silent workers who ensure our ecosystems flourish. Just like automation in the grow room helps us, bees are nature’s perfect automation for life itself. Speaking of automation 🤖💧, this week we introduced a watering system to see how it supports the garden. We may or may not keep it, but for now, it’s been running, helping maintain consistency while still letting us keep a close eye on the girls. Now, the stars of the show, the Permanent Marker phenos. Both are growing beautifully, very similar in structure, with Pheno #1 stretching just a touch taller. Compact yet strong, stacking beautifully, and already showing promise of what’s to come. Alongside them, the whole room is thriving, and I’ve shared a video to give you all a glimpse of the bigger picture. 🌿 Lighting is another key topic this week: I want to highlight the ThinkGrow ICL 300 inner canopy lights. With their 300° spread, they make sure that even the lower canopy gets love, pushing light deep into the structure. This tech is a game-changer in keeping plants balanced and productive from top to bottom. Nutrition-wise, we keep it simple because the super soil is already alive and working hard. We’re just giving the girls a push with Aptus Holland Regulator and a gentle dose of Top Booster. Nothing more is needed, they are thriving in their living soil environment. 🌸 Summary: • Stage: Week 2 of flower, steady stretch and stacking. • Nutrition: Super soil base + Aptus Holland (Regulator + caMag-Boost + Top Booster). • Automation: Watering system introduced this week. • Lighting: ICL 300 bringing life to the under-canopy. • Dognabis Cup: Welcome packs shipping out 🎉 — sharing is caring. • Inspiration: Remember the bees 🐝 — life’s greatest little allies. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

One of the LCC and the RAK are little runtz, and the other LCC is growing almost twice as tall. They all look pretty healthy, and I am trying hard not to over do it with light intensity. I think in about a week or so they will go into flower.
