We are ROARING into week 4. It's time for our first feed, and I can't wait yo see how this plant comes along. This will be the last week of veg and this coming Friday will be the start of flower! So far we haven't done much feed besides the soil itself and now its time to give her a boost. It's also time for a name so that is gonna be nice too 😁. For the time being though, we are gonna do a feed with Dr. Earth, monitor development and then move on over to the flower tent. Really excited to see how the small pot plant comes out after flowering! Cheers, til next time -DJ Sunstone

Hello, fellow cultivators! Week 7 with our magnificent Big Cheese Auto is like witnessing a green monster awaken, and the excitement is through the roof. Massive shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting. Our green beast is romping through her third week of flowering, and oh my, what a spectacle! It's like she's unleashed her inner monster, growing wild and free. The Autopot system is the backstage pass, allowing her to indulge in a nutrient feast on her terms. It's like the VIP treatment for a botanical rockstar. P-Boost and Topbooster, our dynamic duo, are pulling off some serious nutrient sorcery. Organic nitrogen, L-amino acids, trace elements, and natural stimulants are the secret ingredients to this blooming potion. The anticipation for those colossal, aromatic buds is reaching fever pitch. And there's more to the nutrient party! Say hello to K-Boost, the organo-mineral maturation booster that's about to elevate our Big Cheese Auto's bloom to new heights. This powerhouse contains a symphony of L-amino acids, potassium (K), and sulphur trioxide (SO3), creating a concoction that's nothing short of a maturation marvel. Picture it like a botanical spa treatment. The L-amino acids are the pampering session, promoting a luxurious maturation process. Meanwhile, the potassium (K) is the nutrient chauffeur, ensuring a smooth ride for our buds to reach their full potential. Sulphur trioxide (SO3) is the secret sauce, enhancing the overall yield and end quality. As we venture into the next phase of our green odyssey, K-Boost is here to ensure that our Big Cheese Auto not only blooms but does so with an unparalleled maturation finesse. The anticipation for a bountiful harvest with top-notch quality is now taken up a notch. I've thrown caution to the wind and let her go wild. It's like allowing a creature of the cannabis jungle to thrive in its natural habitat. No holding back, just the unbridled energy of a green beast in bloom. The canopy is turning into a wild tapestry, and I'm loving every untamed inch of it. Our TDS is dancing at a robust 420, and the pH is in perfect harmony at 6.0. It's like a botanical orchestra playing the sweetest tunes, all thanks to the Autopot and the nutrient magic. The leaf-bending spectacle continues. It's like a dance of chlorophyll, creating an even canopy that bathes in the natural light. Defoliation is on the horizon, a grooming session for our wild beauty. Ensuring every bud gets its moment in the spotlight. A heartfelt thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and the phenomenal community. Your support is the heartbeat of this green odyssey. As we plunge into the next week, the excitement is untamed. Our Big Cheese Auto is not just growing; she's evolving into a botanical marvel. I can't wait to see the monstrous beauty that unfolds. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Harvest day has finally arrived ✂️❄️ After weeks of checking trichomes, watching pistils darken, and waiting through one of the longest flowering periods I’ve had so far, the moment is finally here. These plants really tested my patience, but seeing the dense purple flowers completely covered in frost made every extra day worth it. The tent smells absolutely insane right now — sweet, gassy, and loud enough to fill the whole room the second the zipper opens. Looking back at the whole run, it’s crazy how much changed from early veg to these fully ripened colas. Now it’s time for the final step: chop, trim, dry, and cure. The grow may be ending, but the real magic is only beginning 🔥🌱 📊 Final Stats: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

Was geht growmies, Hab diese Woche einmal für zwei Tage vergessen zu gießen, und das haben mir die Pflanzen ziemlich übel genommen. Zum Glück haben sie sich nach zwei weiteren Tagen wieder erholt, paar Blätter sind gelb geworden, hab diese größtenteils entfernt. Die Buds sind zudem viel zu schwer für die Stängel, sodass ich sie an paar Stellen fixieren musste. Es geht grade ziemlich rapide voran, werde ab nächster Woche auch schon anfangen mit dem Flush und die lichtintensität langsam runterdrehen. Wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende und stay high 🍀😊

Plants started growing very fast. 20 hours light a day and 140 ml water for 2 plants so 35 ml each plant. (70ml -35ml one plant- morning, and 70ml -35ml one plant evening). From Monday I will start giving 200ml water 100ml in the morning and then the rest in the evening. Ventilation almost 24 hours, They are getting bushy and the color looks healthy green. I am excited. Purple Punch ( the right one) does not have the smell but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling from the 3rd week, it is not strong, it is smooth, enjoyable. I still use trigger spray but I stopped triggering directly on the plant to avoid any fungee or toxicity, I just keep the soil moist. I surrounded them with kitchen foil around the lamp to have a more effective light. It reflects the light and the light goes everywhere. This step has been done because I have only the 60w LED each plant so I try to provide the maximum strength this way, and by keeping close distance also. The lamp is not hot so it ain't gonna burn the plant I had checked it before. I just purchased today a 600w LED because these plants look so good so I wanna provide the best circumstances for them. 4th-week 4th day I a just waiting for my delivery my 600 W grow LED light will come. From today I started watering with 50ml each plant 2 times a day so all together 200ml a day. Plus I always use trigger spray for the soil to be kept wet. They are looking better and better. Nice color and bushy appearance. Wonderful. I realized some holes on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe's leaf but there is no insect I was checking. I do not really know the reason for that. Tonight I will set up the new 600 W LED so I am changing the current 120W. Big Step forward! It is not that easy that I thought, the lamp is great but the temperature raised up a lot, so needed to buy a fan also and the humidity went down. It is not easy to find the proper solution to be acceptable, good temperature and humidity at the same time. So I decided to program a 6/2 schedule, so 6 hours light on and the fan always with 15 min more, and 2 hours off so I do provide 18 hours light and 6 hours darkness but it is divided. The plants can rest after every six hours and use the energy they received. Last day of the 4th week, LST has been done with the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe, both are growing rapidly, let's see what the 5th week brings! End of he week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 25cm, Purple Punch is 20cm😇

Wee has gone by nice and smooth. Girls have all doubled in height save for #4 who I'm thinking is gonna be a midget haha. Watering them enough to keep the soil moist I'd say about 200-250ml each watering (every two days) with just enough to moisten top soil on the off days. Removed the lowest two branches off #1-3 to get them further from soil and they didn't even skip a beat. Probably top them early upcoming week. Had to put them in my 4x4 with the two Auto's for day 27(today)/28(tomorrow) because we are experiencing a crazy winter storm and power is on/off. My 4x4 has a large battery backup that also regulates power spikes and supplements the lows so not nearly as hard on the light/equipment. Runs long enough for me to get generator up and running. Unplugged the 3x3 setup until this passes, save the gear. Means temps will be 24°C and 52%RH. Low end for veg but high end for flower, gotta compromise but they're healthy I have faith they will pull through. 💪. Also repotted #4 to a 2 gallon early week. She looked ready, and though cup wasn't full roots were healthy and substantial. No sign or shock good ol' dynomyco Hope everyone has a good week and a merry Christmas!

Day 67. Finally I have decided to harvest a part of the plant first and let the other one mature a few more days. Because i left the other part of the plant maturing I cant use the cabinet to dry her. So I had to make room in my closet. Humidity is 45-55% and I have added a small PC fan to move the air a little ... the last time I dried there it took at least 10 days. I'm happy with the result to be my first minigrow. The development of the plant has gone well despite my screw-ups and has given a lot of buds, I hoped they would have been a little more dense, but it was my fault to subject the plant to an excess of nitrogen. Let's see how the second cut is going, I hope they get more fat :D 1st cut weight wet: 110 gr. Minigrow 2.0 will be much better!

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 (Plante #2) – Début de Floraison ​Âge de la plante : J+31 (Semaine 5) Taille actuelle : 62 cm Évolution : +32 cm par rapport à la semaine dernière (croissance explosive !) ​On sent que le stretch est passé par là ! La plante a plus que doublé sa taille en une semaine, montrant une vigueur incroyable alors qu'elle entame ses premiers signes de floraison. ​📊 État de Santé & Observations ​Phase : Début de floraison. Les premiers pistils apparaissent et la structure se prépare à supporter les futurs buds. ​Manipulation : Aucune cette semaine. Je l'ai laissée s'exprimer librement pour voir comment elle réagissait à son nouvel environnement après le LST de la semaine dernière. ​Gestion de l'espace : Ça devient très serré ici ! La tente est pleine. J'attends avec impatience que ma Permanent White Marker termine son cycle pour pouvoir offrir plus d'espace à cette Mac 1 et à sa sœur dans une tente dédiée. Pour l'instant, on optimise chaque centimètre carré. ​⚙️ Paramètres de Culture ​Lumière : Toujours à 75% d'intensité. la croissance ajusté la distance à 55 cm de la canopée (contre 75 cm la semaine dernière) pour suivre sa montée et maintenir une pénétration lumineuse ​Climat : Paramètres stables, 24°C jour / 21°C nuit, HR 50%. ​Arrosage : Elle est en totale autonomie via le système Autopot. ​Nutrition : Uniquement de l'eau claire avec un pH de 6,3. Le mélange Biotabs dans le substrat semble encore amplement suffisant pour couvrir ses besoins, le vert des feuilles reste magnifique. ​📝 Résumé de la situation ​Le passage de 30 cm à 62 cm en seulement sept jours confirme la puissance génétique de cette Mac 1. La structure que j'avais aérée la semaine dernière a permis de garder un feuillage sain malgré la densité de la tente. Elle est prête pour la production, il ne lui manque plus qu'un peu plus d'espace pour s'épanouir totalement. ​🙏 Remerciements ​Un grand merci à @Mia_BIOTABS et à @Mrs_Larimar pour leur aide précieuse et leurs conseils qui portent leurs fruits, ainsi qu'à toute la communauté qui suit cette session. On arrive dans la phase la plus excitante !

🌿 Week 4 – Vegetative Stage Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow 🌍 ⸻ 💚 Growth Before the Flip The girls are still in veg, but they’re showing such strong, pre-flower-like development that it almost feels like they’re ahead of schedule. Internodal spacing is tight, leaf formation is elegant, and both phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) remain incredibly similar in structure, color, and vigor. They have a compact yet big presence, lush canopies with balanced symmetry. The consistency in these genetics is impressive, and they’ve kept their health spotless from the start. ⸻ 📸 Studio Shots This week, we brought them into the studio to capture their beauty one last time before they transition to flower. Deep greens, perfect leaf serration, and textbook node formation, they’re looking ready for the big stage. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – No Change in Recipe We continue with the same nutrient schedule as before: • Start Booster – To encourage strong root systems and microbial support • CalMag Boost – To ensure no deficiencies and strong cell walls • Regulator – For nutrient uptake efficiency and plant resilience • pH: ~6.1 • Feed EC: ~0.6 (pellets in the soil are still doing a lot of the work) This consistency is key, we want them steady and strong going into the flip. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Measurements • Air Temp: ~31°C (slightly high, AC unit arriving soon to improve this) • Humidity: ~50% • CO₂: ~700 ppm • Soil Temp: ~25°C • Watering: ~1.5–2.0 L/day, triggered at ~25% soil dryness • Soil EC: ~2.0 (nutrient balance remains ideal) • PPFD: 760–780 µmol/m²/s, with natural variation due to untrained growth pattern ⸻ 🎓 Why the Data Matters Tracking PPFD, soil EC, dryness, temperature, and CO₂ isn’t just technical, it’s about reading the plants. These numbers help anticipate issues before they show visually, fine-tune growth rates, and ensure optimal conditions for the flip. ⸻ 👑 The Queen Awaits Permanent Marker remains one of the most exciting modern strains, a new-school heavy-hitter with legendary parentage (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx). As an example grow for the Dognabis Cup, these plants are showing exactly what careful, consistent cultivation can achieve. ⸻ 🔮 Next Week: The Flip This is the last week of vegetative growth. The next stage will see the girls officially move into flower, where we expect explosive bud site development and that unmistakable Permanent Marker frost. For now, we enjoy the sight of healthy, happy queens, calm before the floral storm. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Hi everyone 🤗. The last 5 women are nearing their end 😍. They will be harvested in the next 2-3 weeks. The rest of the ones that have already been harvested are currently fermenting 😍. The finished harvest pictures come when everyone is finished together 👍. This ends the last diary that was kept with several varieties. From now on only single strain diaries are coming, all individually ;-). I wish you a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

​📖 Chroniques de l'Oasis : La Marque Blanche ​🐪 Chapitre 10 : Le Sacre de la Grande Dame ​Date : 29 Avril 2026 Âge : J+70 Taille : 67 cm ​Le temps des grandes enjambées vers le ciel est désormais révolu. La Sultane, que je voyais autrefois comme une adolescente impatiente de conquérir l'espace, s'est métamorphosée. Elle s'est stabilisée à 68 cm, comme si elle resserrait son corset de résine pour mieux porter ses atours. Elle a acquis ce port de tête altier des dames de la haute noblesse du Rif, celles qui ne courent plus, mais que l'on vient admirer. ​Son charme est devenu magnétique. Elle déploie ses "atouts" avec une assurance qui impose le silence : ses fleurs se parent de dentelles de cristaux si denses que le blanc de ses pistils scintille désormais comme des colliers de perles sur une robe de gala. On ne voit plus qu'elle. Elle occupe l'espace avec une noblesse naturelle, m'invitant à contempler la perfection de ses formes avant le grand final du voyage. ​🏜️ Le Climat du Sanctuaire ​La stabilité est le luxe des reines : ​Chaleur : 25°C le jour / 21°C la nuit. ​Humidité : 50%. ​Lumière : Intensité 75%, toujours à 55 cm de la couronne royale. ​ Le Banquet de la Sultane ​Pour soutenir son rang et la densité de ses bijoux, elle a reçu son plus riche festin : ​Le 27/04 : Apport de PK 5-8. C'est le signal du gonflement final, l'élixir de poids qui transforme son charme en un trésor de cristal. Le 30/04 élixir de vie apport de 1,5 litre eau PH 6,3 Le 03/05 élixir de vie apport de 1,5 litre eau PH 6,3 ​🔬 L'Analyse du nomade ​En observant , on voit que la "Grande Dame" est en plein travail de finition : ​L'Éclat du Diamant : La production de résine s'intensifie. Les trichomes envahissent désormais les "sugar leaves" (petites feuilles de têtes), créant ce halo argenté typique de la White Marker. ​Le Miroir de Pistils : La masse de pistils blancs est à son apogée. Ils sont si denses qu'ils masquent le cœur des calices, reflétant la lumière exactement comme un miroir de palais. C'est l'atout majeur de son élégance actuelle. ​Le Sacrifice de la Noblesse : Le jaunissement des grandes feuilles du bas s'accentue. C'est le signe que la Dame puise dans ses dernières réserves personnelles pour faire briller ses joyaux. C'est une fin de cycle saine et naturelle. ​📜 L'Anecdote du Rif : La Justice de la "Jmaâ" et l'Honneur des Champs ​Dans les montagnes du Rif, la plantation était bien plus qu'une culture ; c'était l'honneur de la famille et la survie de la tribu. Voler dans le champ d'un autre était considéré comme l'un des crimes les plus graves. ​Le savoir ancestral : La justice n'était pas rendue par la police, mais par la Jmaâ (le conseil des sages de la tribu). Les plantations n'avaient pas de clôtures, elles étaient protégées par le "Haous" : un code d'honneur sacré. ​Si un voleur était pris en flagrant délit dans une plantation, le châtiment était éducatif et impitoyable. On ne l'emprisonnait pas. On l'emmenait sur la place du village, et il devait payer une "Amende de Sang" (Laâda) souvent sous forme de bétail. Mais le plus dur était le "Tach-hir" : la honte publique. Le voleur devait traverser le village avec un sac de terre sur la tête, symbolisant qu'il avait tenté de voler la terre de ses frères. Personne ne lui adressait plus la parole pendant une lune. Dans le Rif, on disait que "celui qui vole une fleur vole l'âme de la montagne". La peur d'être banni de la communauté était bien plus efficace que n'importe quel mur de pierre. merci a tous qui me suivez et m'encourager à bientôt pour la suite
