🌿 Week 3 – Vegetative Stage – Mango Kush + Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strains: Mango Kush & Lava Cake (Pheno 1 + Pheno 2) Pots: 11L Amnesia Fabric Pots Light: Future Off – Black Series 600 Tent Size: 8x8 (Shared Space) Climate Control: TrolMaster Ecosystem + Spider Farmer GGS Watering: Hand-watering for all plants (automated watering coming soon) CO₂: 632 ppm Room Temp: 27°C Humidity: 57.4% Airflow: Dual 6-inch exhaust systems + filtered intake Carbon Filters: TrolMaster AeroFan 6” + Spider Farmer 6” with GGS control ⸻ 🌱 Transplant Day – A Ritual of Roots This week marks a huge step: our girls have moved into their forever homes, 11L Amnesia fabric pots, and they’re already loving the extra space. The Mango Kush queens, along with Lava Cake Pheno 1 and Pheno 2 (only 4–5 days old, but already catching up), were hand-selected to move forward toward flowering. Their roots were strong, white, and vibrant, ready to stretch and expand. Fabric pots were chosen for a reason: Why Fabric Pots? • Air pruning: Roots don’t circle and strangle—when they hit the pot’s breathable edge, they stop and branch instead. • Breathability: Improves oxygen flow to the root zone. • Drainage: Prevents overwatering and keeps the medium healthier longer. • Mobility & structure: They hold shape while allowing movement, especially useful early in veg. These pots don’t just hold soil, they shape roots, which shape the entire plant. ⸻ 🌱 Soil Mix & Nutrient Support The super soil mix was created with care and intention, using select amendments from Aptus Holland: Transplant Soil Mix: • Super soil base • Aptus Mycor-Mix – Mycorrhizae to build root partnerships • Aptus Micro-Mix – Adds beneficial bacteria for microbial balance • Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – pH stabilization & nutrient interaction balance Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml: Strengthens cell walls and enhances nutrient transport • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Structural support for fast vegetative growth • 💧 Aptus All-In-One Liquid – 1 ml: A complete, balanced base nutrient • 🌱 Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml: Roots, roots, and more roots Watering Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water temp: 18.5°C Each drop is measured with love, and the girls are responding with lush, deep green growth. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow, Filtration, and Clean Breathing Air management is everything in a multi-strain tent, especially during veg. We’ve set up: • Two 6-inch extraction systems • TrolMaster AeroFan 6”, controlled through the full TrolMaster ecosystem • Spider Farmer 6”, on a GGS controller for dynamic response • Filtered intake to maintain positive pressure and pure airflow 🌫️ Why Carbon Filters So Early? While many growers wait until flowering, we use carbon filters now to ensure clean air, remove any potential VOCs, and keep the space fresh—especially important in a shared environment. It’s about starting with purity and keeping it that way. ⸻ 🧠 What This Week Is and Isn’t What it is: • A week of foundation setting: transplant, soil structure, environmental prep • A time of root expansion and big shifts in the grow’s energy • The moment our girls step into their long-term rhythm • An opportunity to fine-tune TrolMaster automation for watering, climate, airflow What it isn’t: • A week for high-stress or pruning • A time to push nutrients hard, everything is still about balance and observation ⸻ 🎥 What’s Next? Next week we dive into post-transplant development, what to expect, how to manage early stretch, and when to start preparing for training and shaping. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube so you don’t miss it, especially if you want to follow how two different Lava Cake phenos grow side-by-side with our queen Mango Kush. ⸻ With roots grounded, airflow singing, and the TrolMaster lights blinking like magic, DD (Dog Doctor) 🌱💚✨ 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Seems Strawberry will stretch a bit and C-Vibez ) started producing budsites. Trying to lighty defoliate this week and focus on reducing nutrients cause ppm runoff is 1000. I realized this week as I am using RO water I need to supplement more calcium/ magnesium and as all plants were transplanted from BioBizz Lightmix to BioBizz Allmix they all have lot of nutrients in soil. I will just sprinkle a little bit of epsom salt , add low amount of calmag to water with very low amount of REMO nutrients, pH to 6.2 and that is it. Usually I used much lower REMO or BioBizz dosages based on my feeling but then my last diary ( 4 Dutch passion) I had very bad grow. Those 4 plants were transplanted to soil from previous grow ( BioBizz Lightmix + Allmix) to big pots as seedlings so it was hard to measure runoff and ppm of soil spec earlier in the veg. So for this grow my mindset was to follow the charts as much as possible so after 4 weeks of seedling phase in BioBizz Lightmix I transplanted into 18 L AllMix and also started feeding remo in lower dosage but proceeded to increase dosage to remo schedule dosage in a month of veg. I will try to water till runoff and measure to not make same stupid mistakes. Also soon I will be trying Dogma Organic SuperSoil and I will try to compare same genetics in soil with nutrients, dwc and supersoil. My understanding is that using straight RO water in living soil can be problematic so I will keep in mind that factor. My RO filter on the tap has mineralization it comes out 50 ppm. Clones will soon be ready for transplant, I am planning to keep only few alive as I will not have space for all of them, both tents will be available for flower of these clones in around 2 months so plan is to veg few of them in soil and two of them in my DWC setup until Flower tents are ready. HEIGHT Strawberry Cough (80 cm after SCROG) C-Vibez (55 cm after SCROG #2 Strawberry Cough (50 cm after SCROG) First watering 2. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 600 pm 6.2 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough 5 L 470 ppm 6.4 ph RUNOFF: 6.6 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough #2 in 40L pot is still heavy and I will just water around the plant a little with very light dose of nutrients and sprinkled little epsom salts Second watering 5. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 400 pm 6 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm measured runoff only in this one Strawberry Cough 5 L 400 ppm 6.2 ph Strawberry Cough #2 mixed 7 L 330 ppm 6.5 ph that i will likely water till end of the week.

She is still an ABSOLUTE BEAST. Still vegging out . If she hasn’t switched herself in one more week i may have to manipulate the light schedule to force her . I just don’t know how it will affect the other autos in my tent right now 🤷‍♀️

Gorilla Zkittlez has one plant that looks to have a huge stock, but next to no bud mass, while the other lacks as much girth of the stem but has the massive colas. Smells are very sweet smelling.

Harvest report for strawberry gorilla. Breaking ground to harvest was 84 days. Wet weight was 241 grams Dry weight =51g Power used for 12 weeks. 246.3Kw used on lighting. £73.89 at £0.30 a Kw Average 2.932 Kw a day =146 Watts power an hour during lights on. Dry weight from this grow. #1 49g #2 37g #3 46g #4 39g #5 51g #6 52g Total 273g True g/W = 273÷146=1.87g/W This was one great grow and there are a few strains I'm really considering running again straight away. I have run this strain twice now and will do again in the future. She has grown decent solid buds absolutely coated in trichomes. One thing I have learnt during this grow is that the idea of cramming 9 autos into my tent was a stupid idea and trialling it with 6 plants was wise.

*Week 5 of flowering* Mimosa 1 & 2 are progressing accordingly, 0 signs of deficiencies. Though both plants are coming along fine Mimosa 1 is lagging a little behind but not a cause for concern. Water/Nute feeds have increased and the light cycle remains the same. Mimosa (2) appears to have shrunk in size but that is incorrect, Main colas were tied down to trellis.

Me están pidiendo magnesio a tope, aparte de abonar con cal mag vía riego, también he abonado foliarmente... También he aprovechado y he añadido delta 9,... 5ml litro... Los tayos de las plantas y hojas algunas las tengo rojas, hay quien dice eso es la genética..., pero mis genéticas,no son rojas... Es falta de magnesio debido a la potencia del led... Les crea déficit de magnesio, también me pasaba con los LEDs chinos, pero la luz era rosa y no sé apreciaba ... Total que quiero indagar sobre el tema, yo creo que es carencia magnesio debido a la luz led ,la planta no da abasto,a asimilar tantos lúmenes y crea carencias... Mañana y pasado mañana abonaré foliarmente, solo con magnesio haber que pasa....

Hello growers 🤗 We have more autos from Ganja farmer seeds started today. I sowed them directly into my supercharged coco mix🌱. The hydroponic ebb and flow system I am using this round is new and is called AirCube from growace. If your interested in looking for more info on it here's a link to there website 👇 https://growace.com/?rfsn=7577242.b784c7&utm_ source=refersion&utm_ medium=affiliate&utm_ campaign=7577242.b784c7 💦This will cut out my manual watering and help bring more oxygen to the roots while still maintaining a fully organic grow.

Sooo frosty 👏🏾 I’m going to hopefully see some amber trichomes this week to justify harvesting on Christmas! Most definitely harvesting one plant on Christmas and one on new year’s due to the maturity rate on one plant.

Day 31 -Well first please excuse my english . She'doing well so far. Still stretching , and not a tiny one as she took 2 cm each days till day 28. She got an open structure like a little christmas three with a moderate distance between the nods. I had 1/4 tps of my bloom powder (6 - 21 - 31) direct into the soil 3 days ago with a little burning issue (almost invisible for now), my ph was also too low as it was 6.3 so i'll correct my water ph to 6.5 and no more nuts add till week 6. She's smelling good at that stage but quite difficult to describe so i'll try to do it when i will be mote potent ( week 7 to 8 i guess) If you haves some question i'll be glade to answer , good grow y'all

******************************************************************** START OF WEEK Went to the grow store and wound up with an AC Infinity EVO6. It should be a nice light for the future, and when my warranty replacement comes back, assuming that won't be an issue, it'll be nice to have a decent back-up. That's the bright side, but I am a little bummed about laying down the cash with ten to 14 days left. That part is the kick in the nutes. Fine, moving on. As for the grow, it's plowing forward. These plants are doing all the things we want them to do right now. They're getting fat, they're getting sticky, and the fade is fading away. Some branches may call for some last minute support, but for now the sucked-in tent walls will continue to suffice. The feed is still at 1100ppm and pk boosted, but the plan is to finish this week around 750. ******************************************************************** END OF WEEK Day 63 of flowering has arrived. I've backed off the nutrients. We're now sitting at 850ppm with about 6-8 gallons in the system remaining. This should equate to a Thursday refill with no feed, and then a Saturday or Sunday chop. VPD has been running a touch high this week, but that's not a concern. It's staying in the ideal range for most of the lights on period, and then trailing up in the last few hours to around 1.7-1.8. No biggie. The new light is really nice, but it runs hotter than the combo of the S22 and S44 (500W total), and that's with the EVO6 driver outside of the tent. This also isn't a big deal. The max tent temp is around 84, and before that wouldn't get past 82. Not a huge difference, and potentially better for the plants with the additional heat. I've got two CO2 mushroom bags in there, so more temp should mean more production at that level. I'm excited for this grow to finish and I'm looking forward to sampling the variety. I'm definitely using half, if not more, to make bubble hash. I'm probably just going to run it all together, as opposed to having runs for each pheno. I'll sample the tops independently, and smash rosin by pheno, but I'm not sold on isolating the hash. Seems like triple the work, but I've got a week to make further considerations, so we'll see. This will be my last grow until I sell this place and move into my next place. I'm going to miss growing. It's brought me a ton of peace by giving me something to anticipate, study, and take pride in. It's such an enjoyable hobby. I'll miss it in the time being, but I'm grateful that I won't need to step foot inside of a dispensary in 2024. Big win there! Everyone should grow their own.

Going very strong💪 and very PURPLE !!!... she is already very nice and dark purple... Have to had it to fast buds they kept their promise... fingers crossed it keeps on like this🙏

These girls got the chop at around 8.5 weeks looking pretty 🔥 lol

Dramatic weather here, 2 violent storms have hitted my tent without mayor damages. I've bought a high density polyethylene film from farmer supplier, God blessed for this choice. Strong. But I've made a great mistake on Thursday because I was very busy cropping and curing Royal Gorilla that I've forget to water the sisters. I've watered them on Friday just before I started putting up the tent and the storm started with 90% humidity. It has become a tropical greenhouse, so to avoid mold disasters I drilled some side holes and raised the lower edge. Fortunately, on Saturday my little ones managed to dry themselves well thanks to a little sun and a dry wind. I've learned the lesson. Now that weather is a little bit better but colder I've realised that my plants now love to live under a greenhouse, flowering is accelerating. This plant does its own thing, she started flowering very late but is now doing it very quickly. Return my hatred for her with huge frosty buds and gorgeous colors. She has boundless vigor, I don't think it's possible to burn her with fertilizers. It is not a reliable plant for flowering times but if you have extra space in the garden it is the classic plant that can give surprises. It is difficult to describe the scent, very different from what one smells in general, not pineapple but tropical, herbaceous, sweet. Hope to harvest within 15 days. Very difficult to estimate the yeld because is a huge, tall and very leafy plant. After sister's crop she will gain much more room and light. P. S. Need some help from you guys to trim my Royal Gorilla, need to smoke less, that shit has no respect! 😁😎

Why hello, if you are still here thank you for the love & support. I cant believe we are already on the start to week 3 of bloom! This lady here has been streching the last 2 weeks! During the first week of bloom I gave her nutrients with both bloom a & b as well with bud candy! Then water in betwen watering. Shes been needing watered everyday in this 10 Gallon pot! So im very careful with the nutrients and keeping a close eye on her! Ive also used dried coconut powder with irrarated, ph balanced water. To help the roots absorb the nutrients and really up take! Im beyond ready to see what week 3 brings us! Ive been behind on defoilation only taking about 3 to 5 leafs a day just to try to get other coals light! If you have any question feel free to ask! Much lovee lets go guava!!!

🌌🛸 hey hou, just putting in all pics from begging till now, cos im really low with the time,.. behind this project is biggest story of my life, not only grow story, its much more behind.. i wish nobody to get such a grow in way as i do,. actually is nothing possitive there and this project i started, cos i lost everthing what in life importnt is. with this project, once, i wanted to give back just a litle bit of that what i got,.. and it still not eneough,. some things you cant buy, you cant pay,.. and you can get back... peace and stay hard, thing about what you decide, think about twice..

Very easy to grow, amazing aromas very mango strong tropical smell, very delicious, just like her sisters, I think it's a very stable genetic because 3 out of 4 were purple and the 4 of them have the same mango smell, very good automatic strain! 🌱 💚 💎
