Another week of slow growth has gone by, thought I end it with another round of topping on one of the plants. I'm looking to make up for the previous grow where I didn't top at all and it produced so little, hope I don't go overboard with things :D

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Daylight hours this week will be below 13.5. I can't use halves in the grow conditions, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 78°F. Skies were overcast with all day rain and mist. It's about as bad of weather as u can get for cannabis in flower. Let's see how these fastbuds hold up to 💯 fu weather. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 88°F with clear sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot with well water. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 74°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons Day 4 we had a high temperature of 79°F with partly cloudy skies. I watered about 5 gallons of well water. These girls are getting close to mid flower, but for now seem to be happy with the nutrients I top dressed with. Day 5 Week had a high temperature of 85°F with sunny skies. I watered about 5 gallons of well water per pot. Day 6 I didn't get photos but it was a normal day. Lots of sunshine highs about 80°F. I watered about 5 gallons. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 79° F. These girls haven't shown any signs of hunger. I think I'll feed some tomorrow. Today I watered about 5 gallons and treated with Growers Ally fungicide. Overall this week was a success. Their growth height has been achieved. They are in full flower and kicking up a nice citrus smell.

Reduced the humidity further, set it to ~40% right now, but since we're in a severe heat-wave in germany right now (we are peaking at 30°C indoors and ~33°C in our "growroom") our dehumidifier is working overtime. Defoliating every few days, leaving us with sticky fingers and scissors. Buds are developing fine and growing very quickly in size. Leaves are getting more and more frosty, even removed some when defoliating and took a look at the trichomes under our mikroskopic lense. Very beautiful and dense trichome-structure; especially on the buds. The red-purple coloured parts of the buds, mentioned last week, are developing nicely and much quicker than expected. Even spotted some milky trichomes on the headbud here and there.

----------- Week 6: ----------- Start of the 2nd week of real flowering. The slight discoloration of the lower leaves continues. Not the biggest problem in itself, but would have liked to see it differently. Her general health is good, but next time I will opt to use a biotab less. 2 pieces seem more than enough. That is why I waited an extra 10 days to give her the one-off treatment of bactrex and orgatrex. It is a solution of 1gr bactrex and 20ml orgatrex in 500ml water to boost bacterial life. She has just received this and she will only get this once. We also set up the dehumidifier to keep the humidity around 50-55%. And we have now also switched on the digital lumatek boost, for maximum light intensity. Since we also don't work with a scrog net (which we really have to consider next time), I already had to tie her in a few places to make sure her shoots do not fall over. But this is a positive 'problem'. Until next update!

We are at the end of fruiting and they are getting ripped! Beautiful sweet creamy smell mixed with a green sour. I believe at least from the smell pound cake will be one of my favourites, but let's wait for the smoke test. Nothing major to report, all the blumat issues where fixed and also the nutrient deficiencies. I'll not be adding anything else other than water until they finish. Just had the final defoliation to improve air circulation because they are so small that the branches overlapped a lot.my next auto's I'll just let them grow naturally because, from what I've seen and read I think I trained too much and that will impact production in a bad way. The poundC#1 really became delayed because of the dey period that it has gone through and now I'm hopping that I can manage to harvest at the same time without major losses because I have to dry on the same tent for now. It is the only place than I can maintain the ideal conditions.

🌸 Week 12 From Seed — Week 8 Flower Permanent Marker — Two Phenos, One Epic JourneyWelcome back to the garden, my friends. If you’re just joining the diary now — don’t worry. Here’s a quick recap so you know exactly how we got here: 🌱 Quick Recap From Seed to Now – Two Permanent Marker phenos grew from seed into two completely different personalities: • Pheno #1 — “Aiming for the Moon”: a tower of beauty, stretching past 2 meters, expressive, colorful, loud. • Pheno #2 — “The Compact Queen”: sturdy, dense, bushy, disciplined, with deep greens and beautiful structure. – Both were grown in Aptus organic super soil style, with minimal liquid inputs — just Regulator, Top Booster, and the occasional CalMag. – From week 3 of flower onward, we saw the divergence: stretch vs compactness, height vs density, color vs deep green gloss. – Conditions were challenging (hot summer, fluctuating humidity), but with airflow, careful irrigation, and inner canopy lighting, the garden thrived. – Now we arrive at week 8 flower — the week where everything becomes obvious. The structure, the scent, the resin… this is where Permanent Marker starts telling her story. 🌿 Week 8 Flower — The Week of Truth This is an important week. One of those weeks where the plant stops building and starts finishing. 💥 Bulking Mode Activated Both phenos are packing on weight — visibly, daily. The buds are: – swelling – stacking – becoming denser – pushing calyxes outward – and bathing in trichomes The flower-room smell is now borderline illegal — loud, sticky, sharp, with that signature Permanent Marker funk rising stronger day by day. 🎨 Colors Coming Alive Our tall mama — the one reaching for the moon — is showing magnificent colors: – deep reds – purples – warm fades – cool gradients across sugar leaves This is likely a mix of genetics + low-nutrient organic finish + light intensity + heat swings. A wonderful recipe for anthocyanins to express themselves. ✨ Frost Everywhere Trichomes are exploding on both phenos: – mushroom heads – milky stalks – resin layering onto resin – sugar leaves looking powdered This is the week where terpenoids and flavonoids start reaching their peak volumes — the week where you know harvest is close because the plant smells like she wants to climb into your nose and live there. 🔥 Light Spectrum Love — And the Inner Canopy Glow Let’s give a moment of appreciation to Future of Grow’s Black Series and the ICL inner canopy lighting. These girls are LOVING the spectrum: – deeper penetration – reduced shading – even lower branch development – trichomes forming even in hidden zones – colors enhanced naturally It truly shows what proper spectrum distribution can do — especially late in flower. 🌡️ Conditions — Hot, Humid, and Still Thriving Despite summer conditions trying to sabotage everything: – the plants stayed strong – no PM – no bud rot – no stress signals except the harmless light-tipped albinoing on the top cola of Pheno #1 (beautiful, by the way) This week we maintained: – Temp: high but manageable – Humidity: under control – Airflow: strong and essential – Irrigation: consistent and organic The girls took it all like champions. 🔍 The Final Stretch — What Week 8 Means This is the week where you start to ask the true questions:Are we close? Yes. Very. Is it time to flush? Not on full organic super soil — you simply let the plant finish naturally. One week or two? Depends on trichomes: – Clear → needs time – Milky → soon – Amber → harvest window opens Right now it feels like: 👉 1–2 weeks maximum But she will tell us. We listen. 🏆 Dognabis Cup — The Community Is Alive! People are opening their welcome packs, germinations are popping, and diaries are starting to roll in. You can check all the grows — the links are already attached in the diary. Let’s support each other. Let’s cheer for each other. Let’s make this Cup a celebration of: – learning – growing – connection – and shared passion Every diary is a story. Every grower is a page. Together we write the book. 💚 Gratitude A huge thank you to: Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds, TrolMaster and to every single person following this journey — lovers, haters, learners, creators. You all make this community real. 🌟 To Close This Week’s Report The garden is glowing. The colors are singing. The trichomes are dancing. The finish line is near. Permanent Marker is doing what she does best: being unforgettable. On to week 9, my loves — the final chapters are coming.
