Do-si-Dos Auto Week by Week Grow Diary

Rock and Roll  Randy set up shop using Do-si-Dos Autoflower from WeedSeedsExpress, and he was determined to keep these genetics going for a full 14 weeks. The grow area was big and had a lot of light, and it had a lot of Mars Hydro LED units that powered the veg and bloom stages. Strive Nutrients provided the food, and the 8x8x6.5 Mars Hydro tent kept the atmosphere in check so that everything stayed in balance. The end result was that each plant made [56.7:gr] of wet sticky bud, which was just as strong and punchy as Do-si-Dos.

Grow Setup

Grow Diary

Weeks 1–2 (Seedling Stage)

The Do-si-Dos beans broke open fast, suggesting that they were strong from the start. Seedlings stayed small and had constant node spacing while kept in soft LED light. To keep the cotyledons and initial leaves from drying out, the humidity was kept high. The plants were steady by week 2 and ready for more light and nutrients.

Weeks 3–4 (Early Vegetative)

The plants grew faster when the Mars Hydro fixtures worked together. Strive Nutrients were added in little amounts to give the plants a balanced basis of NPK. Early LST began to keep the structure wide, which let the side branches catch the light. The leaves were a healthy dark green and showed no signs of stress.

Weeks 5–6 (Vegetative Expansion)

The canopy fit well over the tent. There were no dark areas since there were so many lights. The nutrient doses were slowly raised, and the plants took them in very well. During the day, the temperature stayed at 25 °C, and at night, it dropped to 20 °C. Training kept making growth even.

Weeks 7–8 (Transition to Flower)

When the pre-flower indications showed up, the lights switched to a flowering cycle. The Mars Hydro LEDs made sure that the light reached the deepest parts of the canopy. Strive Nutrients changed to bloom inputs, and the stretch took hold. LST kept the tops even, so no one cola could take over the others.

Weeks 9–10 (Early Flower)

Pistils started to group together into little buds, and trichomes were just starting to shine. The tent smelled nice and earthy. To safeguard the flowers that were starting to bloom, the humidity was lowered to 45%. Feeding regimens were remained the same, with a focus on bloom boosters.

Weeks 11–12 (Mid Flower)

The buds grew faster, and the colas got thicker. There were a lot of trichomes, and the sugar leaves looked great with the icing. A few carefully chosen defoliations made it easier for air to move through the canopy. At this point, the plants drank a lot and took in nutrients every two to three days.

Weeks 13–14 (Ripening and Harvest)

Trichomes largely turned murky, although some ambers started to show. The last flush has fewer nutrients. The fan leaves turned lighter greens and yellows, which meant they were ready to eat. At 14 weeks, the harvest came right on time. Each plant gave [56.7:gr] of wet weight, and the buds were dense and full of resin, ready to be dried and cured.

Observations & Reflections

The Do-si-Dos had enough of light because there were three strong LED systems in one big tent. This showed in the resin coverage. Strive Nutrients maintained development steady, with no problems or burns. Early training was important for making an even canopy, which helped spread light as much as possible. The yield was just [56.7:gr] wet per plant, but the quality was clear: it was icy, sticky, and smelled good.
