Week 7 Flower | 12/12 From Seed Nectar Drip — Bulk, Frost & the Quiet Finish No drama this round. No chasing deficiencies. No heavy corrections. No unnecessary stress. Just stable roots, stable feed, stable environment — and plants doing exactly what healthy plants are supposed to do when you stop interrupting them. This run was built on simplicity from day one. 12/12 from seed. No veg extension. No topping. No high-stress shaping. No aggressive stripping. Just early guidance, clean structure, consistent watering, and enough light to let each plant express itself without wasting energy rebuilding from stress. That decision shaped everything we’re seeing now. By removing the recovery time that usually comes with topping, overtraining, or prolonged veg, these plants never had to pause and re-prioritize. They rooted, established, stretched, set flower, and transitioned directly into production mode. No detours. No wasted momentum. Just one continuous push from seed to flower. And now, in Week 7 flower, it shows. The canopy is heavy. The flowers are swelling. The resin is stacking hard. The fade has started. And the room is finishing with exactly the kind of top-to-bottom consistency this run was built for. ⸻ From Seed to Here — Why This Run Behaved Like It Did This room was never pushed for speed. It was built for continuity. That’s the difference. 12/12 from seed changes the entire rhythm of development. Instead of forcing long vegetative expansion and then asking the plant to completely shift gears, this approach keeps the metabolism focused and directional from the start. The plants stay efficient. Internodes stay tighter. Stretch stays controlled. Energy gets allocated earlier. And instead of building oversized frames that need correction later, the plant builds only what it intends to finish. That’s why this room developed the way it did. Not the biggest plants. Not the tallest plants. But highly efficient plants. Compact structure. Controlled vertical growth. Dense flower sites. Less wasted lower growth. Less larf. More usable biomass. That efficiency is exactly why they are carrying weight now. And because they were never heavily interrupted, resin production stayed consistent too. No major stress events, no stalled metabolism, no repeated recovery cycles. Just stable uptake, stable transpiration, and uninterrupted flower development. That’s where the frost comes from. Not magic. Not hype. Consistency. Stable roots feed stable flowers. Stable flowers stack stable resin. ⸻ Feed Strategy — Simple, Stable, Boring (and Exactly Why It Works) The feed is still intentionally simple, and that is the point. At this stage, the plants are not asking for complexity. They are asking for consistency. So instead of overloading the root zone with ten competing inputs, the approach stays clean, predictable, and easy for the plant to process. Current feed (per liter): * Terra Grow — 2.5 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * CalMag Pro — 1 ml/L * Power Buds — 1 ml/L * Green Sensation — 1 ml/L That’s it. Simple inputs. Stable ratios. No chaos in the root zone. Why each one is here: Terra Grow (2.5 ml/L) Still holding the base. Even this late, a controlled amount of nitrogen matters. Enough to support photosynthesis and maintain metabolic function, but not enough to keep the plant too green or delay senescence. At this stage, it is no longer feeding growth — it is supporting function. Pure Zym (1 ml/L) Quietly doing the dirty work in the root zone. Enzyme support helps break down residual organic matter, keeps the substrate cleaner, improves root-zone efficiency, and helps maintain smooth uptake late into flower when consistency matters most. Sugar Royal (1 ml/L) Used here to support terpene expression, aroma development, and overall secondary metabolite production. Not magic in a bottle — just one more gentle nudge toward stronger expression in the final weeks. CalMag Pro (1 ml/L) Still important under strong lighting and consistent transpiration. At this stage it is less about “fixing deficiency” and more about maintaining transport stability, cell integrity, and keeping the plant moving cleanly through the finish. Power Buds (1 ml/L) Supports flower-site commitment and reinforces reproductive focus. At this point it is less about creating sites and more about helping the plant continue investing in the ones already built. Green Sensation (1 ml/L) This is the finisher. PK support, density support, sugar movement, and late-stage flower swelling. Right now this is one of the key drivers behind the visible bulking and weight gain. Nothing excessive. Nothing aggressive. Just enough to keep the engine running clean while the plant finishes what it already decided to build. That’s the entire strategy. Stable EC. Stable pH. Stable uptake. Let the plant do the rest. ⸻ Environment — Guided by Plants First, Numbers Second This room is running warm, steady, and honest. Around 26°C with ~60% RH, stable root-zone temperatures, consistent irrigation, and strong air exchange. On paper, some growers will immediately point at VPD charts. That’s fine. But charts do not grow plants. Plants do. Room VPD is useful. Leaf VPD is more useful. And real plant behavior matters more than both. The leaves are praying. Transpiration is stable. Uptake is stable. Resin is building. Flowers are swelling. Nothing is stalling. So the room is not judged by theory alone. It is judged by response. Numbers guide. Plants decide. And right now, the plants are very clearly saying yes. ⸻ Under Canopy Lighting — One of the Biggest Differences in This Run This is one of the clearest upgrades in the room. The under canopy lighting is doing exactly what it was meant to do: keeping lower flower sites productive, reducing weak lowers, and allowing the plant to finish far more evenly from top to bottom. That matters more now than ever. Late flower usually exposes the weak parts of structure. Lower sites fall behind. Shaded flowers stay airy. The top wins. The bottom gets left behind. That is not what happened here. This room is finishing with noticeably better lower-site density, stronger mid-canopy development, and far less separation between top buds and lower buds. Not identical — but much closer. And that means more usable flower, more uniform ripening, and less waste at harvest. The top still leads. But the bottom is no longer irrelevant. That is a major win. ⸻ What We’re Seeing Now This is the transition every healthy flower room should earn. The green is fading. The fans are beginning to surrender. Nutrients are being reallocated. Calyxes are swelling. Resin heads are thickening. Aroma is deepening. Weight is climbing. This is not decline. This is completion. The fade is not a problem to correct. It is the plant finishing on purpose. And paired with the resin production we’re seeing now, this is exactly where these girls should be. They are not just ripening. They are closing. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week Next week should be all about consolidation. Less vertical movement. Less new growth. More density. More oil. More finish. Expect: * continued calyx swelling * stronger late frost production * deeper aroma development * more visible fade through fans and lowers * slower water demand as the finish approaches * heavier flowers and firmer structure across the room At this point, the work is mostly done. Now it is about staying out of the way, keeping the root zone clean, keeping inputs stable, and letting the plants close properly. No panic. No chasing. No overcorrection. Just finish clean. ⸻ Shoutout Corner Big love to everyone walking this one with us. To the platform for giving growers a place to document the real process. To the community for the time, support, questions, conversations, and shared experience. To the day-ones, the regulars, and the silent followers who have been here since the first leaf. To the new faces just arriving now. To the growers learning. To the growers teaching. To the ones showing love. To the ones watching quietly. To the skeptics. To the critics. To the lurkers. To the haters too. If this took even a second of your time, it mattered. Energy is energy, and none of it goes unnoticed. To the genetics for doing what good genetics do. To the tools that help us read them. To the sponsors who support the work. To the growers who keep showing up. Respect all around. See you next week for the close. 📡 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.

Things are going fast, HulkBerry 1 look close to the end, I will start to wash it soon. I think the cookies gelato familly will end in something like 2 weeks, but not sure. Feel free to let me know what u think about. I got a real problem with the Royal Bluematic 2, buds are so small and weak. Not sure to bring it AT the end.

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

3/18 🦍🍓Z🍓🍑👍👍👍 gave them water and cal mag yesterday. They are doing good strawberry gorilla is a little close to the light but I also have the light at 91 W until I see some burning. I’m not goi raise it up because of the other two plants in there, but as long as they’re cool and I don’t see any damage should be OK. 3/19💦💦💦🦍🍓🍓👍 3/21🍓🦍🍓🍑💦💦 A little more than 1 gallon split between the four of them the CBD did not need a lot of water. She’s growing really slow. There may be something wrong with the soil because I have too many plants in there she may be absorbing the humidity while the other ones are drying out. It’s a weird dynamic when you have four different plants growing in the same tent one seems to dry out faster and the other one will hold water 👍👍👍👨‍🌾 3/23🍓🍓🦍🍑cbd💦💦💦

This was a lovely strain to grow out, never have I seen a more purple strain. She did not like the full strength N but once I pulled back to 75% she was happy again. Everything else was smooth sailing and she competed well for light and space with the others crammed in the tent. Harvested on day 77.

Transplant during week 3 was a success! All 4 plants made it from their original solo cup containers into their 5 gallon fabric pots. Once in their larger pots, each plant was watered with 1 gallon of water/plant (no nutrient). Lighting was also brought back up to 30% this week as the leaf curling that was observed previously has subsided.

Week 2: VEGETATION There isn't really much to report this week. The little Frostbanger is growing slowly but surely. The leaves look a bit deformed. Probably because of the nutrient-rich soil.🤔 But I'm not really worried about it. By the end of the week, it should have adjusted to the soil's nutrient content... at least that’s my hope. On the last day of this week, I sowed garden cress to create a protective layer for the living soil, and the clippings will serve as a mulch layer. At least that’s the plan. And another positive note: the weather forecast is slowly looking better 🌻☀️

Week 5 flower going well. Nothing much to report. Increased the drip as she is taking in more water. Turned up the fans to 100% for maximum flow, and due to that, the tent got a bit warmer and a bit dryer, so the exhaust fan and humidifier are working a bit harder. 75-77 deg F, 50-60% RH. Not sure if the lights are to intense or if it’s purple coming through, but at the highest tops there seems to be a bit of discolouration on the newest growth, just at the tips of the new buds. But I’m looking really close and it may be purple, not brown. I’ll keep an eye on it and turn the lights down if symptoms worsen. This plant is growing strong and uniform. Average frost so far. Hopefully she keeps growing well until the end. Thanks for the views…keep calm and grow on!

2-3 weeks left of flowering. Buds are starting to bulge out on the sides and are very dense. Only been getting a pine scent up until now, slightly skunky sweet smell starting to come through as well.

Little change week over week. She is small, so some lower level defoilation was needed to better expose the lower bud sites. Lower temps and a brief aphids bout may have stunted growth. She does smell great.

Its been a while but the ladies are still doing fine. After today its gonna be lights out. Ive stopped giving nutrients about 10 days ago.
