She seems to be growing kinda slow.. I'm sure it's from all the stress I put on her. She should pick back up this week. Day 30 and she has some calyxes poppin up everywhere.. I think day 31 I found her first pistil.. Ill know for sure day 32. She's healthy and the slow growth is picking up a little. I need to put in some horizontal spikes to tie the branches down a little more.. Just enough to give the colas room to grow at this point. She's not gonna be a massive yield (obviously) but not gonna be a complete waste of time. Once I harvest my current main plant I will try it again in a 5 gallon pot. Yup! Pistils at day 32.. Just small and hard to take a pic of. Preflower begins!!! This week temps have been getting up to 86F.. I put in a 2nd inline fan with carbon filter and 2 more fans for the top of canopy to get some air movement. The air is NOT cooling down enough so Im just gonna have to go without the filter. ... Later that day... Even without the filter, the tent still gets up to 84F.. WTF?! It was staying below 80 with just a little clip-on fan and small inline fan pulling air out and nothing pushing air in.. Im using the smaller inline to pull air in and the new inline pulling air out.. Now it gets warmer.. I dont get it.. Gonna have to go back to my old setup I guess.. ... Even later that day... Put up the old ventalation.. But with extra fan still pulling in air.. Smell may be strong throughout my room when lights go out.. But oh well.. I love the smell. Tied down branches a little more.. They should be far enough to do what she needs to do.. Pistils are there.. Just very very small at this point.. But they are there on a couple branches lookin good and happy! 😊 no more leaf removing.. This is only my 3rd auto... Second auto is only halfway through flower now.. Sooo, I'm still learning!!!

Soil: Auto mix 2.0 Cannabiogen.

Hey Growers. Things are going well in the Cindy tent. They are all at various stages, but making good progress this week. A lot more trichomes on the advanced 2 and bud structure on the straggler. I removed some larger fans blocking bud sights and cleaned up the underneath of the straggler. I am just watering when dryish and adding a bit of monster bloom. I am also moving the XS2000 from side to side to decrease light stress and pump them with as much light as possible. No need for any Gaia Green this week. Happy Growing 🌱

Nothing has realy happened since I cropped the royal cream....It is just hanging. Decided to do a dry trim so that it takes longer to dry due to the fact I am having to just use my cupboard so the humidity is pretty low. Leaving the leaves on just means It takes longer to dry. I am going to crop the Easy Bud in the next few days when the mood takes me. I had 4 left over R. Cream seeds left over because I informed them that. bought 2x 3 packs and only 2 seeds germinated so they sent me another packet which is REALLY good of them and the sort of thing that means I would definitely use Royal Queen Seeds again, for sure! The trich's are basically all cloudy with a few clear. I cant see any amber but my loupe is a ridiculously cheap Chinese piece of crap. I will invest in a microscope camera so I can hook it up to my phone or MacBook. It is way too hard to keep everything steady In order to see what is popping with my sexy trichomes. Obviously feeding has stopped for about a week now. I forgot to change it In the diary last week so will try and correct that now.. I know it is not strictly relevant but I had to go somewhere earlier and took a video because I was able o walk in the middle of a main road in my town which Is usually packed full of cars, especially at the time I was walking on it. It is a time that makes me even more glad I grow my own. I really need to buy the bigger tent, lights and re-locate to the bigger, more subtle cupboard (not the one i am using to dry my weed in the video I posted) and then I will be able to effectively ScrOG the 2 or 3 plants I have, in order to maximise yield so I can be totally self sufficient with regards to my cannabis medicine. UPDATE - MONDAY I just realised I have made a proper idiots mistake an missed out on some much tastier buds because of it. OK, so I got paid today, so I though I would treat myself to some of them cheap COB chips I used for my last grow because hey were super cheap and actually really effective considering the price. I ordered 2x 100w 6000k veg spectrum chips with a solderless connection for my power. I also ordered one of these heatsink + reflector. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MT824NP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My thinking was that I have a spare heatsink here that the old citizen CLU-048 is attached to so I was going to fit one of the chips into that and the other into the heatsink and fan I bought. This hought process lead me to go ad retrieve the old citizen LED and I thought I would try it. Still didn't work, then suddenly I thought it could be a simple blown fuse so I changed it aaaannnnd.....still doesn't work. doh! I started to remove the COB holder and COB from the heatsink (it was just glued to it using thermal compound) and when I laid it on the table I decided to test the driver without the COB holder on the tiny off chance it might work...nope I then realised maybe I got the + and - the wrong way round, tried again and boom works perfectly. The connection from the holder to the cob had bent slightly off contact. Really annoying that this whole time I could have doubled my photons to the plant, however, really nice that I don't have to spend a load more money on lighting in order to upgrade into the new room. So all I have to do now is spend money on a pre-drilled heatsink and a new metal COB holder for the citizen.

last week of vegetative growth and we are ready for flowering !! The plants look healthy and I gave them some more nitrogen to prepare them for the 12/12 change! I'm excited I can't wait! I prepared some clones hoping to be able to root and gorilla plants again !! I also did a little defoliation! What do you guys think? Grazie mille 😘😘

I started the 2nd week of light nutrition

Her buds have fattened up very nice!!! Almost all her pistols have changed colors and curled in. I hope im not to late, but this week will be her last feeding then good ol plain ph'd water until she is ready to chop. She smells so strong of cookies and cream and gas⛽ she is going to be a decent yielder but an even better smoke!!! Super easy plant to grow. Super stoked with 420 fast buds!!

3/11 Week 11 a day early due to schedule - Day 26 of Flower Buds building very well no signs of any deficiencies and the tips are ok so leaving all nuets as is. Halfway to projected harvest date according to Fast Buds, I believe them from what I am seeing. Having some humidity issues due to our funky weather. Humidity running higher than is safe on lights out , 60-70%, so installed one small dehumidifier but getting a larger one today to add to it. That is the extent of our problems so aint beechin guys One final comment here, these Fast Flowering photo strains seem tailor made for growing indoors. The flowering times, the way they grow and the lack of strong odors even with larger buds just impresses the crap out of me. 👍 Fast Buds 3/12 - 27/Flower Continue to stack up the buds I had to raise the lights one click to keep em at 16" on both lights. The increased feed PPM is showing in rapidly growing buds. No changes in feeding at this time. My wife has sweetly pointed out I messed up reading the calendar. This is day 27 of flower 😜 Yeah it was real good for 23 days too LOL So FB pegged 45 days of flower on the FF7 , with 18 days remaining. Flush could begin in 11 days at the soonest. Which consequently is when I drop the seeds for the last grow before my vacation. 😉 3/13 Day 28 Flower Raised the lights up a bit, want better dispersal from the two light sources and since there is now almost too much light this seems wise as the buds continue to stack up. The two light together are 1100 and 700 umols at a minimum so with 1800 Umols (the same as a 1000 watt HID) I can afford a dispersed pattern of light sans hot spots and dark corners. Multiple light sources is the way to go no doubt now. maybe pics later if I've time. Pics 3/14 Day 29 Flower Ye though there be no toilet paper in the land we do have buds... This virus thing is just insane aint it. Why toilet paper I wonder... Anyway increased PK to max 5ml/gal as I see no toxicity and they are building like crazy so feed em. This is the last week for the PK booster cutting it out in a few days, plenty in the pot to carry her through the flush. No other issues to comment on pretty easy grow so far. Pics

Not much happening when this one just started for fun hehehe.

Ya estamos en proceso de formación de la flor. Se ven algunas más grandes que otras. Pero a grandes rasgos estan muy parejas. Me preocupa un poco la cercanía a la luz, dado que estoy en 15cm y cualquier estirón extra, sería una complicación. Vamos a ir viendo como se dan las cosas, pero al momento, no me puedo quejar. Las plantas se ven bien y saludables. Día 24. Se empieza a notar el engorde. Esperando a que aparezcan las hojas de azúcar, que ya se empiezan a visibilizar las primeras. Voy a ver si puedo conseguir overdrive de advanced para cuando se terminen de formar las flores. Entre tanto solamente tuve un inconveniente de pérdida de agua por una manguera que moví al atar las plantas, pero ya repuse la solución perdida y todo va encaminado. No sé si van a tardar las 6 semanas que dice el catálogo, pero cuanto mucho serán 8. Seguiré actualizando. Día 26. Las flores empiezan a yomar su forma voluminosa. Estoy en duda sobre si agregar PK la semana próxima o la otra. Quizá empiece a usarlo en el próximo depósito. No quiero tampoco sobrepasarlas y agregar el producto antes porque tengo entendido que puede ser contraproducente. De todos modos me quedan dos días para el cambio de solución, así que voy a ver cuando termine la semana. Entre tanto, ya empiezan las emociones. Día 28. Hice ina poda de hojas bien fuerte. Ya de esa forma dejo expuesto a la luz todo lo que tiene que terminar de engordar y de paso me esquivo posibles problemas de humedad. Al final voy a usar el PK de greenhouse que tengo, pero voy a subir la dosis. Mañana se viene el cambio de solución, para lo que sería la ante última semana en teoría. Vamos a ver como evoluciona, porque los cambios son muy abruptos de una semana a la otra. Y llegado el momento miraré los tricomas, como para ir haciéndome a la idea.

12 on 12 off light schedule from seed to harvest. Accidental of course. Currently Week 6 flower. All 12 plants under 2 TSW-2000 300W Mars Hydro lamps.

27/07/20 se podaron y se hizo lst. Mañana riego con ferti bien cargado porque están mostrando falta de potacio y fósforo ya. Últimas dos semanas de vege y a florar 28/07/20 se fertilizó foerte

flush time.

They look very healthy and the trichomes are looking to become great! Hope some good big buds time will tell. Its my first grow, any tip or advice is welcome!

It survived the holiday! Roots and plant looking healthy 👍 I Topped it as soon as I came back and plan to start LST when the branches start to stretch.

🌸 Grow Diaries – Permanent Marker, Week 2 Flower 🌸 This week is special on many levels. Not only are our Permanent Marker queens thriving in their second week of flower, but it’s also a milestone for the Dognabis Cup: the welcome packs are on their way! So everyone, stay tuned to the postman and the doorbell — good things are coming. ✉️📦 The Cup itself is more than just a grow, it’s a celebration. It’s about sharing knowledge, experiences, and love for the plant. It’s about learning together, lifting each other up, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Sharing is caring, and this Cup is built on that principle. I’m truly honored to be creating this, and I hope all participants enjoy the ride. On the nature side 🌍🐝, I want to pause for a moment to appreciate the bees. They are true lifesavers for our planet, silent workers who ensure our ecosystems flourish. Just like automation in the grow room helps us, bees are nature’s perfect automation for life itself. Speaking of automation 🤖💧, this week we introduced a watering system to see how it supports the garden. We may or may not keep it, but for now, it’s been running, helping maintain consistency while still letting us keep a close eye on the girls. Now, the stars of the show, the Permanent Marker phenos. Both are growing beautifully, very similar in structure, with Pheno #1 stretching just a touch taller. Compact yet strong, stacking beautifully, and already showing promise of what’s to come. Alongside them, the whole room is thriving, and I’ve shared a video to give you all a glimpse of the bigger picture. 🌿 Lighting is another key topic this week: I want to highlight the ThinkGrow ICL 300 inner canopy lights. With their 300° spread, they make sure that even the lower canopy gets love, pushing light deep into the structure. This tech is a game-changer in keeping plants balanced and productive from top to bottom. Nutrition-wise, we keep it simple because the super soil is already alive and working hard. We’re just giving the girls a push with Aptus Holland Regulator and a gentle dose of Top Booster. Nothing more is needed, they are thriving in their living soil environment. 🌸 Summary: • Stage: Week 2 of flower, steady stretch and stacking. • Nutrition: Super soil base + Aptus Holland (Regulator + caMag-Boost + Top Booster). • Automation: Watering system introduced this week. • Lighting: ICL 300 bringing life to the under-canopy. • Dognabis Cup: Welcome packs shipping out 🎉 — sharing is caring. • Inspiration: Remember the bees 🐝 — life’s greatest little allies. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Got everything moved around & the new carbon filter, fans & lights so hopefully I got better coverage with less power👍🏼 Topped 1 of the Gelato OGs today was getting way taller than the rest we will see how she bounces back! Everything else seems to be going great! Day 22 topped & trimmed them up a bit Day 23 started LST on a few Day 24 started mainline on one of the GZ Day 25 trimmed them a little more today

New week while I have time, Gloria looking fair but weather has taken a very cool wet turn, lots of clouds maybe 2-3 hours good direct sun at best. So I am clearing out the tent and while its idle for a few days putting her under the light more to prevent any bud rot than bud growth. Zombie Quas looking... well I have nothing to compare it to but its healthy so far and turning into a mass of bud, gotta watch this. Monstercropping not so good outdoors :) Plants say a week till to harvest. Gloria is on water and light sugar only till then, Quas will get whatever I throw at it, things a tiny beast. Love it 9/22 Due to the best we can hope for is 20% sun for the next few days she is moved under the lights in the big tent. Can stay there about a week and hope this mess clears by then. The little beast Zombie Quas says the weather is fine and thinks Gloria is a wimp...💪 9/23 0.5 gal feed of 3ml/g bio-bloom well decided to get her some light and harvest on the other side of the weather... if rumors of clearing hold ;) 9/24 Back outside, a little marginal today but I need the tent. Harvest later this week 9/27 Busy day harvest report later have to get all kinds of stuff done ahead of the snow this weekend.
