Hello everyone, This week i decided to remove the peyote cookies from the dwc system because the roots kept dying and so i decided to translate her to coco soil. I will start again after the summer with 2 dwc buckets for now i gonna continue with one, yesterday i changed the air pump to a stronger version because the spider farmer pump is way to loud and weak with the airflow. The amnesia fast bounced back but i see the roots showing a brown color again i hope after the air pump change this will stop i will also stop adding canna rhizotonic to the water to make sure only minerals are in the water. For the peyote cookies i gonna start a new diary. Tomorrow i will update my other diary that grow is doing great. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice week.

Ho sistemato LST giornalmente perché continuano a crearsi nuove ramificazioni e gemme ovunque. Sto irrigando con 0.5L di acqua ogni giorno, ma credo dovrò passare a 1lt perché l’assorbe subito. Giorno 35 - l’apicale si é spezzato al 50% ho provveduto subito a mettergli del nastro di carta intorno e fargli un sostegno sotto per reggerlo nella sua posizione. Immagino che ora se dovesse sopravvivere avrà un blocco di qualche giorno. *Giorno 35 h.20.30 dopo solamente 6 ore l’apicale ha iniziato ad alzarsi da solo staccandosi dal sostegno, assurdo!

Day 28 of flower and I’m very happy with these two ladies atm. In both vids, you can tell which one will have the fatter nuggs. The plant in the first vid, was transplanted into Fox Farm Ocean Soil and the other was not. I can tell you right now, your grow medium definitely makes or breaks your grow. I will be using FF as medium of choice from here on out. Not much else to say other than they’re done stretching and are starting to fattening up every day. Got a little over 40 days left until it’s harvest time. 42 to be exact! But I’ll catch yall on the next update ✌️🏾

Week 13 for Chemical Candy. This will be a hard farewell … that lady became so beautiful, it'll be a pity to chop her. Despite the problems (grown super near to the lamp, broken main stem while tying to bend her down) she really performed outstanding in a short time. Buds are dense and covered in trichomes, smell is gassy with a very chemical touch – very special one. loved her 💚

Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the grand Week 1 Veg Report for our Epsilon F1, and oh, what a week it has been! Buckle up as we delve into the lavish life of our green companion, surrounded by the best of the best in the plant kingdom. First things first, our little Epsilon F1 needed a new home, a place to stretch those roots and spread its leafy wings. So, I orchestrated a majestic transplant into a cozy little pot filled with a blend of soil and the magical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This mix, my friends, is like the VIP section for our plant's roots, housing a variety of endomycorrhizae that are the backbone of a thriving crop. They're like the secret agents working undercover to ensure our Epsilon F1's success. Picture James Bond, but for plants. Now, onto the royal feast! I'm sticking to the Aptus Holland nutrient line, and let me tell you, it's like fine dining for plants. Our watering regimen involves the use of Regulator, a concoction of mono-silicic acid, boron, and molybdenum. This is like the plant's personal nutrient chauffeur, ensuring everything gets to the right place at the right time. Silicic acid? Check. Boron for calcium uptake and fiber production? Double-check. Molybdenum to shuffle nitrogen around? Triple-check. It's like a nutrient ballet in every drop! But that's not all, my friends. Enter CaMg-Boost, the organo-mineral superstar that prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while turning our plant into a fruit-setting maestro. Firm and high-quality end product? You bet! It's the secret sauce for a successful harvest. And then there's the All-in-One Liquid, a 100% mineral-based fertilizer that's like the Swiss Army knife of nutrients. From vegetative phase to flowering/maturation, it's got our plant covered. pH variations? Not a problem for this versatile gem. It's the superhero of the nutrient world, swooping in to save the day regardless of the grow medium or system. But let's not forget the Startbooster, our organic root and growth stimulator. It's the motivational speaker for our plant, whispering words of encouragement to the root system and promoting vigorous vegetative growth. Specific microlife biomass? Oh, you know it's in there, working its magic to enhance root development and provide bioavailable nutrition. It's like a plant pep talk in a bottle. Our Epsilon F1 is currently basking in the glory under a dome, and I can't help but beam with pride. Shout-outs to @James and the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds for this amazing genetic journey, Aptus Holland for being the nutrient wizards behind the curtain, and Grow Diaries for being the virtual garden where we share our triumphs and tribulations. Stay tuned, dear readers that i consider friends, as we watch our Epsilon F1 thrive and blossom into a botanical masterpiece. Happy growing, and may your gardens be forever green! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

This week in the 5x5 had some good changes! Put on some good nodes and put on some resin!!! They all 3 pretty much look the same they have good node spacing and the stems are way sticky to the touch. Monday starting off week 5 gave them a top dress of craft blend 1/4 cup mixed into the top lil bit of soil and straw bed. Handwatering each plant gets 1/4 gallon at plant base and 1 gallon spread between plants. Everything going food look happy. Wendsday plants looks like they liked the Monday treatment so proceeding as normal. Gave them 1 top. per gallon of water along with 2 top of mollases to make the soil happy and some glacier rock dust a good plop. Friday everyone looked good maybe lil strong on nutes will only water as normal for the week. Sunday end of week 5 just straight water 1 plant got lil burned like I was thinking but everyone is happy happy happy. Vivosun fan I had for 4 months died had to replace with back up fan. Enjoy the pics

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.

🌈 LSD — Week 5 Veg Report 8×8 Tent | 12/12 From Seed & Short Veg Comparison 👋 Quick Welcome Welcome to everyone joining us now — and thank you for being here. This diary documents LSD genetics grown under a shared environment, with different early-life strategies (short veg vs 12/12 from seed), allowing us to observe how structure, vigor, and timing express themselves under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Overall Status — Week 5 All LSDs are doing beautifully — not as a figure of speech, but in structure, color, and behavior. • Strong vertical growth • Active lateral branching • Clear phenotypic differences depending on early light exposure • Early signs of pre-flower expression, which is fully expected at this stage There is no panic, no rush — just plants doing plant things. ⸻ Plant-by-Plant Observations 🌿 LSD #1 — Former Autopot Plant (Short Veg) • Initially placed in autopots • Showed early nutrient demand stress (“hangry” expression) • Removed from autopots and transitioned to regular feeding • Recovery is excellent: • Purple stems fading • Leaf color returning to healthy green • Strong upward momentum Structure & Behavior • 9–11 visible branches • Lower branches aggressively reaching upward • Clear sativa-leaning dominance in structure • Responds quickly to nutritional correction → a demanding but expressive genotype This plant tells us clearly: “Feed me, and I will perform.” ⸻ 🌿 LSD #2 — 12/12 From Seed • No autopot exposure • No nutrient issues observed • Grew entirely under 12/12 from seed Structure • 7–8 nodes • More compact internodal spacing • Heavy lateral branching • Balanced, controlled architecture Roots clearly prioritized first, followed by steady vertical growth — classic 12/12-from-seed behavior. ⸻ 🌿 LSD #3 — 12/12 From Seed (More Compact Expression) • Also 12/12 from seed • Even tighter internodal spacing than LSD #2 • Similar node count • Excellent symmetry and branch development This one reinforces the pattern: 12/12-from-seed LSDs are stacking nodes tightly while still branching hard. ⸻ 🔍 Key Insight — 12/12 From Seed Behavior This run is revealing something important: • These LSDs are vegging, structuring, and initiating pre-flower simultaneously • Behavior closely resembles autoflowers, despite being photoperiods • The same pattern is visible in the autoflowers sharing the room This suggests: • Time efficiency without sacrificing structure • Reduced “waiting” between phases • Early architectural decisions locked in sooner This is not a flaw — it’s a different rhythm. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals — What to Expect ✔️ Expect • Continued vertical stretch • Ongoing lateral branch expansion • Gradual, overlapping transition into flower • Plants “deciding” their final shape soon ❌ Don’t Expect • A sharp, sudden flip • A clean separation between veg and flower • Uniform behavior across all phenotypes These plants are layering growth stages, not switching them. ⸻ 🧠 Closing Thoughts This week confirms something important: When conditions are stable, plants don’t rush — they express. The differences we’re seeing are not problems. They are information. And we’re doing exactly what a good steward does: • observing • adapting • and letting the plants teach first Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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.

Snip, snip! Under good conditions, they could have stayed in the ground for at least another 7–14 days so that the tubers could become firm. I didn't want to take any risks, as some of the Medusa flowers ended up in the trash can due to rot, so I decided to harvest the Sweet ZZ earlier as well. Fortunately, it proved to be very resistant to rot, and I was able to hang up the entire harvest to dry. I can therefore absolutely recommend it for outdoor use, even under very poor conditions or rainy summers. I did not weigh the flowers when wet.

17.12.24: Seedling is looking nice and healthy, good green colour 👌 I didn't use a humidity dome this time, as the other Seedlings damped off. It has clearly done very well without it, so I don't need it at all really, as my humidity is very high on it's own. It's about 75% currently. 19.12.24: Ok so the powdery Mildew has appeared again, I have not watered, and the plants are doing well. They seem to have recovered significantly since last week. I have scooped out the top layer of soil to get rid of the Mildew, again. I then top dressed with;- Biobizz Light Mix, cinnamon, extra perlite, Vitalink Bat guano, and worm castings. Very pleased with the progress of Watermelon 🍉 Watered in with 100ml containing;- 1ml per litre of Biobizz Bio-Grow and 1ml of Ecothrive Flourish Fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Day 57: Girls looking good and healthy. Got the HLG turned up 100% pumping 500 watt to em! We shall see. Still only given around 500ppm nutes. Day 58: Got mostly cloudy with just a couple amber it looks like. I'm thinking I need to start flushing. Albeit, only on one plant. I will wait a few days more until I make a decision. Day 59: Still looking beautiful! Buds are getting thicker! Decided I will give MOAB till week 10 and check the tric's at that time. Prob start flushing at that time. Only time will tell. Day 60: Girls looking good. 👊 Not gonna lie, getting nervous as I do not want to cut em too soon or too late. This is a tough spot. The one has a ton of red hairs. It looked as if there was just a couple of amber that I found the other day. I was looking on the outside of the buds, also. So I know the inside is where I need to look. Just not wanting to jack with them too much. I will check again at end of week. Day 61: Busy. No updates. Day 62: These girls are starting to smell amazing!! I don't see any noticeable growth here lately. I'm hoping they start to bulk even more though as I think I am still seeing some clear trichomes. Day 63: Welp, all is well and no new updates. I been feeding pretty heavy so I will back off and just water tomorrow.
