07/16/2024 Week 8 Update!!!! Yoo gang update lessgooo!!!!!! Sooo what's brackin gang, so we starting into week 8, officially I think it's week 6 of actual veg but that's here nor there, the girls are really coming into their own really great leaf structuring and coloration other then will keep y'all updated as the week goes on thanks for stopping by and LFG!!!!

Day 18: The canopy is developping nice and evenly. I wonder how much mire they will stretch. I think that ill do some defoliation at the beginning of week 4 Day 20: Today I did a big defoliation right before the third flowering week ends. It was a tough job reaching all the leaves in the back because I cant move the plants.😅 But we made it! Now the light can reach much further down the plants for better/bigger buds and better aeration.

I have ended the veg cycle and transitioned into flowering. I let them veg an extra week to get more growth around the inner nodes. Training is working as Daphni almost looks like a big Bonsei tree and most of the branches growing from the underside have curled up and are growing straight up. For the past weeks my pH levels have always gone down and my humidity stayed around 55% but over the past week of vegging the pH has started to rise over time and the Humidity has gone up 10% points to 66%. What caused that change in direction? will have to study. I have the interior radio playing the local rock station 95.7 FM. As for the roots, they are very long and new roots continue to grow. wondering what average root growth for a 1 gal container looks like. No major problems for now as Daphni prepares to enter the flowering stage.

Day 13 I’ve decided to transplant to a bigger pot

Well all going good around here. This week will see a significant stretch, now that she is heading towards full flowering. Will stay close and keep removing leaves blocking the light to bud sites. 👍🏻👍🏻🌱🌱

12 weeks / 84 days old today. So my first grow journey is coming to an end! Not a lot to report this week. Been using my jewellers loupe daily to keep an eye on the trichomes and can definitely see a big difference. (Sorry, pictures are crap - don’t have enough hands to get a good one!) Still watering with plain water but they’re taking a lot less and only been watered every 4 days or so. Sticky orange has lots of cloudy trichomes and starting to get a few Amber. Her leaves are drying off so she is getting harvested before the weekend. Purple skunk is a bit behind so I think I will wait and see how she goes for another week or so. I always thought she’d be the one to finish first too. I think I will be drying in the garage. We are consistently getting 18 degrees outside now but with the temperature drops at night, I am not sure whether to bring the buds inside overnight. I’ll be drying in a hanging ‘herb’ dryer and I have my curing jars all labelled and ready to go. Thinking of wet trimming roughly then going in for a final dry trim later once dry to neaten them up. Drying advice welcome! I did think I’d have to harvest in stages and chop the lower buds later on. But even the bottom buds look like they’ve caught up this week. I have honestly enjoyed every second of this grow and I’m almost disappointed it’s nearly finished. But at the same time, I can not wait to see (and taste) the final result!

These girls are doing great. Running out of room to move my light so hopefully they're done growing up lol. Small nugs are starting to form and the smell its starting to get strong smells very nice. Got a bigger dehumidifier to help with humidity was staying between 50-70 the last couple weeks finally getting down to 40. They're appetite is really ramping up now and they're drinking about a gallon a day between the three of em.

Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

This week went pretty well, I did not get the final toppings done yet, so I will be doing that later this week. I am still feeding veg nutes, and running a 19/4 light cycle. I am hoping to get the final toppings done this week, and then keep her in veg until around week 9 or 10 then flip to 12/12 and see what happens. Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy the time lapse, be safe and Blaze On!

🌱 Week 3 – Permanent Marker Veg Update Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Official Dognabis Cup Grow Diary 🌍 Role: Organizer & Example Grow ⸻ 🌟 Welcome to the Dognabis Cup 🌟 We’re proud to officially introduce the Dognabis Cup to the Grow Diaries community! This is a virtual cannabis cup, focused on creativity, transparency, and community energy, open to all levels of growers. You can follow along or join via our official Instagram page: 👉 @dognabiscup This grow diary will serve as an example and inspiration for participants, showing how I document the process, care for my plants, and work with genetics, soil, light, and love. The Cup had a brief pause due to a lost mail, but now it’s back and fully activated. Let’s grow together! 💚🔥 ⸻ Transplanting Time – Moving Up! The Permanent Marker girls have thrived in their early veg phase, and they’re now ready for a major milestone: transplanting into their final pots. The roots are vigorous, white, and beautifully spread, a sign of healthy development. • New pots: 11L Zamnesia fabric pots – breathable, root-friendly, ideal for organic soil • Transplant timing: Perfect—plants are strong, compact, and ready for more space • Structure: Both selected phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) are extremely similar—vigorous, balanced, and symmetrical. PM#3 will be kept as a backup. From the beginning, this was a “3 to keep 2” plan, and now we follow through. ⸻ About the Genetics Permanent Marker is a strain that needs no introduction in the craft cannabis world. Bred by Doja Pak x Seed Junky x DEO Farms, and now shared through Zamnesia Seeds, this cross of Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx is known for its deep purple colors, greasy resin, and explosive terpene profiles. In this grow, we are not only testing potential, but celebrating this modern cultivar by giving it a perfect environment to shine. ⸻ 🌱 Super Soil Recipe – Building a Living Medium To support the organic journey, we’ve built a super soil blend based on Aptus Holland’s organic nutrient system. Here’s what went in: • Micromix – Boosts microbial life and supports soil biodiversity • All-in-One Pellets – Slow-release, balanced macro + micro nutrition • Substrate Buffer Powder – Stabilizes pH and improves nutrient availability • Mycorrhizae – Applied directly in contact with the root zone to support colonization and nutrient exchange This mix is pre-mixed thoroughly before transplanting, giving the roots an environment rich in nutrition, oxygen, and microbial harmony. ⸻ 💧 First Watering After Transplant – Intentional Feeding For the initial watering post-transplant, we’re using Aptus Holland’s liquid line to help the roots settle in and activate the soil life: • Start Booster – To stimulate root branching and microbial synergy • All-in-One Liquid – A balanced, fast-absorbing nutrient base • CalMag Boost – To avoid any early deficiencies and strengthen cell walls • Regulator – Enhances nutrient uptake, strengthens tissue, and reduces transplant stress This feeding is low EC, highly bioavailable, and structured to support a soft transition with zero shock. ⸻ 🔍 Pheno Notes – Structure & Selection • PM#1 and PM#2 are being kept based on uniformity, growth speed, and leaf morphology • PM#3 is healthy, but as per the plan, it will remain as a backup • All phenos are compact and symmetrical, which aligns with Permanent Marker’s known characteristics • We’re curious to see how stretch and resin production evolve in coming weeks ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – On Growth & Community This week marks a turning point, from rooting to expanding. The girls are moving into their adult homes, and with that comes the real shaping of structure, terpene profiles, and eventual flower power. We’re thankful to be walking this journey with support from brands we trust, and from a community that lifts each other up. 🌍 Dognabis Cup is not just a competition, it’s a celebration of craft, learning, and expression. We invite everyone to follow along, ask questions, and maybe even start their own diary in the Cup spirit. ⸻ Thank you all for the love, support, and energy.

Hi ✌️ Die Blüten werden langsam immer dicker und fangen auch an zu riechen. Bei ihr ist das Aroma allerdings deutlich schwächer und geht eher in eine süßliche Kräuterrichtung. Sie wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht so viel Harz entwickeln, was ich aber gut finde, da das Ganze ja in meiner Küche stattfindet. Da brauche ich keinen starken Geruch 😅. Ansonsten gibt es eigentlich nicht viel zu erzählen. Ich werde sie in der kommenden Woche noch einmal etwas entlauben und ein bisschen weniger gießen weil sie, glaube ich, schon wieder etwas zu feucht steht.🤣 Ich wünsch euch ein gesundes Neues Jahr!✨️💚

So far these plants have shown nothing but resilience and a will to grow I have put quite a bit of effort in but I’m sure I’m lacking in one or two spots but you would never be able to tell by the Look at the plants they seem quite happy and they are relatively patient with a new grower lol

The bloom hast started feeding Go switched now im waiting for the Budsites to multiply!

Que hay familia, adelantamos semana de las red hot cookies, ÚLTIMA semana antes del machetazo, estoy deseando cortar estos caramelos llenos de polen, que parecen caramelos de fresa, olor Muy afrutado, cepa muy bien trabajada de sweetseeds que antes de cosechar, ya la recomendaría.

La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/27 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . Nos vemos de nuevo para la COSECHA, un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

I came back after vacation, the girl is ready for cutting, the rainy weather has started, so there is a threat of rot, you can say I managed to find just a few small pits in time and removed them and threw them away, the big and stiff flowers look fantastic:) but after a long trip I was tired, so I didn't take quality photos :( no everything else, I am very satisfied with the result I got:) its smell already lets me know that it will be good:) a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) I will update the weight when it dries.

Week 9/Semana 9!
