🌱 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.

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.

This will be straight to the Last week . For the Last days were going Down to 400w total of 800w by both Lamps Also were going for 4 days No Water concept at the Last Flower week with another 2days Complete Darknes before harvest . Were not making a Huge water Flush at the end .Im going to try for the First Time The Narcos Drainaige Nutriets in the last week with normal watering this time . Stay tuned and Keep up Growing Everyone ! Maybe take a look at my Designers Club Project i would appreciate that :D

Started the week with apparently a bug of some sort. Ready to use Neem Oil from Walmart and they're responding fine. Will re-treat in 7 days. Good growth otherwise. Trying different methods of LST. Very fun! Looking forward to a good next 7 days. Going back to an 18/6 time cycle. I think the bat gauno was too potent and I may be watering with high alkaline water that may raise the pH. I had bb lack curled up baby leaves undergrowth and my fan leaves have sucked up all that extra potassium and some leaves have broken off. Some older fan leaves are patchy and discolored but am keeping them to continue saving excess there instead of newer growth. My light schedule also lended imo-high pH even tho it's within normal range going in. I'm trying to lower my humidity and get them ready for a our watering to flush away any iron from my shitty water that could turn to rust if not moved away from the roots. BTW Spider Mites...not husky hair in weed.. Neem oil seems to be working. Put a lady bug in the tent. So I'm a little past 30 days and it's a wash. I got stuff blooming and dying at the same time. I'll post pics soon for observation purposes. I'm going to make a list of my mistakes as well.

Ok so finally decided to harvest the big beast of critical mass after a week of flush and two days of darkness shes finally down and in drying net will post updates on pics vids when its dried properly so harvested the big critical mass now have the 3 critical mass and 2 white widdow x big bud so taken a few pics will now push these over the next 4 weeks do some slight leaf stripping and then put on overdrive for last two weeks to get the best from this strain the longer u leave it the better the taste and overall flavour will be trust me guys

Mamma mia sti maledetti Ragnetti Rossi stanno rovinando tutte le foglie... abbiamo introdotto nel box una trentina di coccinelle🐞 che speriamo possano tenere a bada l'infestazione...

This week went pretty well, but I don't have much time for an update as I literally spent all day trimming up the wedding cheesecake, and now I am heading out of town to coach a baseball tournament. She is growing some nice thick colas, and I am still feeding her the same. I included a video for my final Wedding Cheesecake Harvest, hope you enjoy it, if you have any suggestions for music hit me up! I hope everyone has a great weekend, stay safe, and Blaze On!

Easy week hoping for a strong finish so only nutes they getting know is rhinoskin a and b ph perfect b52 overdrive and sensizym and bud candy I say they got like another week tops till flush but I take pictures everyday and see colas still getting fatter until that stops I will not cut them so far this grow been a great journey for me and I learned a lot about autos next up will be these gorilla cookies and I can’t wait

If only I was not broke, I wouLd get a home testing kit, and be able to test the potency of all my babies, Monday’s Blue has a sweet and fruit scent, due to growing in the greenhouse all 5 plants with noticeable scents cancel each other scents, so I have to hold the bud directly to get a more accurate waft to better deduce the scent. This lady is most definitely a sativa strain, just don’t know the percentage or is it a well balanced hybrid.

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

Pablito, Pablito... What is wrong with you my Man?? I mean... Ph is at 6,3. EC is at 1,5. You get all Nutrients what you need. The Light is at 50% (720w) and 50cm above you... So why tf do you do this with you/me and your Leafs???
