This plant just got flushed so all old salts are gone, tommorow i start watering with just finalpart at 3ml/L she will be ready one week later, 10 days max. So next update is harvest.

The trim was easy✂️ The smell is very nice with citrus,pine & Diesel🍋🌲⛽️ The buds are fat & sticky full of resin🤩

buds are getting fat and smell is more intense now. the watering level is low and the leaves are yellowing so i won't refill it because the plant is near to harvest. I recorded a microscope video to see trychomes (sorry for my bad pulse) but enought to see that buds aren't ready to harvest, maybe the next week.

I think she recovered well after having some deficiencies in early flowering with some adds. So far she is not my preferred smell in the garten but follows well her Wedding Cake genes, I just hoped she was a bit more in WC side instead of Cheese, but things could change.

Week 14 (1-5 to 7-5) 1-5 Temperature: 28.2 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 46% (lowest) No pictures. 2-5 Temperature: 29.2 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 48% (lowest) Removed the net, and tied down some branches to the pot with some gardening wire. This way i can easily remove the pots out of the tent to weigh them. I also moved the oscilating fan from underneath the canopy to above the canopy. This is because the leaves gets hotter as i increase the light's power output. The Gorilla Kush #2 and the Chemdog #2 are showing some heat stress. Installed a valve on the autopot from the Kush #2. This is because its weight is higher then the other pots. Before i watered them i weigh the pots. Dry weight: Gorilla Kush #1: 4.4 kg Gorilla Kush #2: 6.0 kg Added 10L to the reservoir. Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. 3-5 Temperature: 26.2 degrees (lights on) 19.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 47% (lowest) No pictures. Increased the light's power output to 75% LUX: 16.000 / 20.000 4-5 Temperature: 26.9 degrees (lights on) 21.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 41% (lowest) Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. 5-5 Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 21.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 47% (lowest) No pictures. 6-5 Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 20.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 42% (lowest) Dry weight: Gorilla Kush #1: 4.4 kg Gorilla Kush #2: 5.4 kg Added 10L to the reservoir, there was still 2850 ml left in the reservoir so now its almost 13L. Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Only Gorilla Kush #1) I also lowered the Gorilla Kush #2 a little bit, as she is showing some heat stress. The bud development of the #2 is very mediocre, some buds show some THC, and some buds have almost none on them. I am sure the yield will be low, so i will probably make some hash with the #2 7-5 Temperature: 27 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 57% (highest) 44% (lowest

17-4-2021 ON FIRE : Wow what a good growt last week was crazy and what a big ass leafs! holy shit.. i think im gonna push the nutrions up 2 650PPM instead of the 550PPM now.. also still not in flower so that is good ! i only use the fish mix and still not biogrow i will do that the second week of flower, its very uniform so thats also great to see... i think im going to do some leaf stripping tommorow because thats needit ...i will do it strategic to minimalize the stress

Sour Diesel — The Ascension of a Legend 🙂 Week 13 | Flowering | The quiet final stretch Sour Diesel was never the easiest girl in the room. From the beginning, she was the one that lagged behind. Smaller, tighter, less vigorous, less willing to stretch into the room the way the others did. She never had the same natural momentum, never claimed the same canopy space, and for most of the run, she looked like the plant that simply got outpaced. But this is exactly why this week matters. Because despite a slower start, despite a more compact frame, despite being the smallest girl in the room, she never stopped building. She just did it differently. And now, near the end, she is showing exactly what resilience looks like in flower: a compact, dense, intensely stacked Sour Diesel with real weight, proper frost, and far more character than her size first suggested. She may not be the tallest plant in the room. She may not be the widest plant in the room. But she earned every gram she is carrying. And that deserves its moment. Small frame, full intention Sour Diesel never became a large plant structurally. She stayed shorter, tighter, and more compact from the start, which naturally put her at a disadvantage in a room where the rest of the canopy climbed higher and intercepted more direct top light. In a standard top-down setup, that usually means one thing: the lower half underperforms. Less penetration. Less useful PPFD below the crown. Less productive lower flower development. But this is exactly where the layered lighting approach changed the outcome. Because while her top canopy remained below the rest of the room, she was never truly left in the shade. The inner canopy bars and under-canopy support kept usable photons moving through the lower structure, which meant the lower sites still received enough energy to remain productive. Not equal to the top, of course—but productive enough to continue building instead of stalling. And on a smaller plant like this, that matters even more. She did not need extreme stretch. She needed access. And access changed everything. That is why this plant still developed visible lower flower mass, proper side stacking, and much better density through the mid and lower zones than a compact plant like this would usually produce under top light alone. She stayed small. But she never stopped producing. Why we are now running only water + enzymes At this stage, the job is no longer to push growth. The structure is built. The flowers are formed. The plant has already done the heavy lifting. Now the goal is not to feed harder. The goal is to finish cleaner. From here forward, Sour Diesel is running on plain water and enzymes only. That means no more base nutrients, no more bloom push, no more unnecessary inputs—just hydration, biology, and a clean finish. And at this point in flower, that makes sense for several reasons. 1. The plant no longer needs to be pushed Late flower is not the time to force new production. The plant is no longer trying to build a new framework. It is finishing, ripening, and reallocating what it already holds. At this stage, overfeeding usually does not create better flowers. It more often creates excess residue, unnecessary salt accumulation, and a dirtier finish. The bulk is already there. Now we let the plant finish what it started. 2. Enzymes help clean the root zone This is where enzymes earn their place. At the end of the cycle, enzymes help break down leftover organic material, dead root matter, and residual waste in the medium. That helps keep the rhizosphere active, reduces unnecessary buildup, and keeps the root zone cleaner during the final stretch. The goal here is not “feeding” in the classic sense. It is maintenance. Cleanup. Biological support. We are not trying to push more into the pot. We are trying to help the system finish clean. 3. We reuse this soil This matters. Because this medium is not being treated like disposable substrate. It will be reused, and what is left in it matters. By finishing lighter and keeping enzymes in play, we are not just thinking about this harvest—we are also thinking about the biological life left behind in the soil after harvest, and how that soil transitions into its next job outdoors. Instead of ending with a heavily loaded, overly salted medium, we finish cleaner, keep the biology more intact, and make that transition back into living use much easier. That matters now. And it matters later. Why the light is also being reduced now This is another late-flower adjustment that often gets overlooked. At this stage, they do not need the same intensity they needed during peak production. Earlier in flower, stronger PPFD made sense because the plant was actively building mass, driving expansion, and converting light into structural output. Now the job is different. Now we are finishing ripeness, not chasing stretch or bulk. So light intensity is being reduced accordingly. Not because the plant is “done” —but because she no longer needs to be pushed like she is still in peak construction mode. Softer finishing light helps reduce unnecessary stress in late flower, lowers excess demand, and better matches what the plant is actually doing now: ripening, maturing, and closing. Less push. More finish. What to watch now: trichomes, calyx, pistils, fade This is the week where patience matters more than feeding. Not every sign of maturity happens at once, and not every visible change means harvest is immediate. This is where people rush. Do not harvest because one sign changed. Harvest when the plant begins aligning across multiple signals. That is what matters now. Trichomes Trichomes are still the clearest indicator of maturity, but they need to be read correctly. What we are watching now is the shift from clear → cloudy, followed by the first meaningful amber development. * Clear = still immature * Cloudy / milky = peak cannabinoid maturity * Amber = oxidation / deeper ripening The goal is not “amber everywhere.” The goal is a mature field. We want the majority developed, mostly cloudy, with the first real amber appearing in context—not isolated, not on sugar leaves, and not misread from damaged tissue. Sugar leaf trichomes mature faster and are not the best harvest reference. Watch the calyx heads. That is where the real read is. Calyx swell This is one of the most overlooked end-of-flower signs. The calyx is what we want to watch now. As the plant finishes, the calyxes swell, stack tighter, and begin to look fuller, rounder, and more pressurized. That final inflation is one of the clearest visual signs that the flower is actually finishing. This is where the “weight” often really appears. Not because the plant suddenly grows more structure, but because the flower tightens and finishes filling itself in. Pistils / white hairs White hairs are useful, but only in context. Fresh white pistils still mean the plant is actively expressing new growth. Darkening pistils suggest progression. Receding pistils suggest maturity. But pistils alone are not a harvest signal. Some plants throw fresh hairs late. Some oxidize early. Some mislead entirely. Watch them—but do not trust them alone. Leaf fade Late flower fade is expected now. As the plant winds down, it naturally begins reallocating internal resources, and leaf color starts to shift with it. Greens soften. Some leaves pale. Some yellow. Some lose intensity. Some anthocyanin expression may begin to show depending on environment and genetics. This is normal. Late flower should look like a plant reaching completion, not like a plant still trying to look vegetative. The goal now is not perfect green. The goal is proper finish. What to expect next week Expect ripening. Expect more calyx swelling. Expect more pistils to darken and recede. Expect more visible fade. Expect aroma to deepen. Expect the plant to look less “fresh” and more finished. That is what you want. Do not expect explosive new growth. Do not expect dramatic stretch. Do not expect massive visual change overnight. The final week is rarely about expansion. It is about refinement. Less building. More finishing. And Sour Diesel is finally entering that part beautifully. Thank you for being here And before she closes, thank you. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To Grow Diaries for the platform. To everyone following since day one. To the old heads who have been here for years. To the new faces who just arrived. To the growers watching quietly. To the ones learning. To the ones sharing. To the ones supporting. To the ones questioning. To the lovers. To the critics. To the long-time supporters. To the silent observers. Thank you for being here. For watching the process. For following the work. For caring enough to pay attention. Sour Diesel may have been the smallest girl in the room— but she still made sure she would be remembered. 📡 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.

Put this girl into flower this week! She was getting beastly and my Autoflowers wrapped up so it was time ❤️ I decided to put her into my big tent along with my other grow and continue to flower there. I was going to scrog her in my 2x4 but decided I will need the space to get the summer beans started 🤤 Upped her Bloom nutrients and dialed back the Grow, also increased the Micro’s . Temps have been a little higher than normal, running around 81 degrees of freedom units, and keeping around 55% RH. I did a light defoliation going into flower, and decided to do some LST by tying back a few branches to allow for better light penetration. 🇨🇦👊❤️

Working towards germinating 4 autos. Hopefully all seeds will successfully take. Seeds will soak for a day or so and then into directly amended soil in fabric pots.

She is beginning to swell nicely now for a sativa... lots of white pistils and tricomes are starting to come out. Still no smell but she looks great.

On day 1 things are going well. The buds are getting larger by the day and I'm starting to smell the terps. This is an interesting one, I can't figure it out just yet but there seems to be grapefruit in the background at least. I also did my last defoliation to bring in more light to the canopy. On day 3 the girls are doing well. My PH pen broke so I'm back to indicator drops until amazon hooks me up with a new probe. On day 4 the plants are doing well. I applied my final BTI treatment. The fungus gnat population is way down and almost completely eradicated. The girls are putting on more trichs everyday and the smell is increasing :) On day 5 I see no more fungus gnats :) I should receive my PH pen tomorrow and will finally be able to adjust my reservoirs pH with more precision. On day 6 the plants are doing well. On day 7 my new PH pen was ready for use. I discovered my reservoir got down to 5.5 PH yikes! I used PH up to get the PH to 6.1. I then changed out my reservoir with new nutrients. I PH'ed to 6.1

I am giving her an extra week 15 hours total light (decreased by 4h) Getting longer and bigger the new stems from node. If keep growing I will give them another extra week of Veg. Weather changing and now sunlight is less intense.

Start of week 3: august 9th Battling caterfuckers and using foliar sprays to keep at bay. Trimmed her a lot to keep the light WPM she has but no worries there. Smells just like diesel with a hint of sweet candy land

She grew 32cm this week! But look how bushier she is!! 😍

Hello friends! 🌱 White Domina from Kannabia Seed Company — Day 23 Everything is going great, and she’s really spreading out — over 30 cm wide now! She looks amazing, with big, healthy leaves, already showing more than 6 fingers per leaf. After topping, she has gained noticeable mass in just 6 days — a real chunky girl 💪 She has very beautiful leaves with an interesting, almost round shape, reminding me a bit of strawberry leaves. The color is rich and vibrant, and she’s already starting to give off a light aroma — not strong yet, but definitely noticeable. Also, take a look at the leaf shape and how thick the stem has become — she’s building a very strong structure. Watering: 0.5L every 2 days Day 26 — we performed defoliation Today we stretched her out again and will continue to enjoy watching her grow. Lighting: 50% power, about 45 cm from the top Temperature — Day: up to 27°C | Night: 19–22°C Humidity — around 80% day and night We are not using any nutrients yet, as the soil is already rich and provides everything she needs for now. We really love how she looks — what do you guys think? Drop your comments, ask questions, don’t be shy! Let’s share experience and knowledge — we’re all here to learn and help each other 🤝

Wow I'm impressed with her flowers this week!!!!! They have swollen so much!!!!!!!!!! On she goes!
