DogDoctorOfficial 🌿 Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip | Grow Diary #268 / 750
"From Seed to Gold – The Beginning of the Drip"
There are collaborations, and then there are moments.
This one — Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip — is something truly special. Only 750 packs were made worldwide, and we are honored to be growing pack #268. Every detail of this release speaks of art, precision, and love for the culture — from the gold-embossed wasp that guards the box to the wax seal, signed certificate, grinder, joint holder, stickers, and plant tags. It’s not just a seed pack — it’s a statement of style and devotion.
We feel humbled and grateful to Zamnesia and TICAL for this gift — for trusting us with the chance to bring their art to life through nature. Thank you for going above and beyond, and for giving this grower community a collector’s piece that will live on through every leaf and bud that follows.
Clean Room, Clean Energy – Sterilization & Preparation
Before any seed touched water, the temple had to be purified.
Preparation is everything, and we take cleanliness as seriously as lighting or nutrients.
The entire 8 × 8 ft (≈ 2.4 × 2.4 m) tent was stripped down and deep-cleaned — every corner, fan blade, and duct. We vacuumed all surfaces, then washed with a bleach solution, followed by a hydrogen-peroxide-infused rinse for maximum sanitation.
But this run, we added something new to our ritual: UVC sterilization.
We’re using the Future of Grow UVC-60, a compact yet powerful UVC device that emits germicidal light to neutralize unseen contaminants — mold spores, bacteria, and viruses — both on surfaces and in the air.
For a full week before introducing the plants, the UVC-60 ran for 12 hours each day, moved to different positions daily to ensure complete coverage throughout the tent.
⚠️ Safety Note: UVC light is extremely effective, but it is not safe for direct human exposure.
Never operate the device while anyone (or pets) are inside the room. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and UVC-rated safety glasses when handling or repositioning the unit. UVC light can cause skin and eye damage if used without proper precautions — always treat it with the same respect as any high-energy sterilization tool.
This extra layer of preparation brings peace of mind and a true reset — a sterile, radiant environment ready for new life.
Clean space, clean start, clean energy. That’s how the Nectar Drip begins.
🌱 Germination – The Ritual Begins
We’ve just placed our seeds in a CannaKan germination system, using a mix of 80% purified water + 20% hydrogen peroxide to give them the perfect start. Now, we wait — patiently, excitedly — for the first signs of life.
In a few days, we’ll share which of these golden beans pop open first. Every germination is a small miracle, and we’ll treat it like one.
💡 The Future of Grow – Lighting the Golden Path
This journey unfolds under the glow of the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, powered and precisely controlled by the Nova 2C Pro system.
We believe in balance between technology and intuition, and this LED setup gives us the spectrum and control to truly tune the grow — from seedling to harvest — in harmony with the plant’s rhythm. Expect future updates on the light settings, environment, and feedback as the plants develop.
🌾 The Foundation – Powered by PLAGRON
A strong plant begins with a strong foundation.
For this grow, we’re proud to be working with Plagron, one of the most trusted names in cultivation.
Our soil base is the Plagron Bio LightMix — a lightly fertilized, organic substrate made from premium peat, perlite, and high-quality worm castings. Its airy structure ensures perfect root oxygenation and drainage, while its soft nutrient profile makes it ideal for seedlings and young plants.
The Bio LightMix also supports a thriving micro-life within the soil — letting the roots and beneficial organisms work together naturally from day one.
For feeding, we’ll be using Plagron Terra Grow during the vegetative phase — a fast-acting mineral base nutrient that provides essential macro- and micronutrients directly available to the plant. Once we enter flowering, we’ll transition to Terra Bloom, to fully unlock the potential of the Nectar Drip genetics.
🌿 The Nutrient Philosophy
We believe in the synergy of organic and mineral — a balance between living soil energy and precise control.
The Bio LightMix gives the roots life and breath, while the Terra line gives us accuracy and stability in feeding. Together, they allow the plants to express their full spectrum of flavor, structure, and potency — clean, consistent, and powerful.
Later in this diary, we’ll explore the additives and boosters that will complement the foundation, fine-tuning this grow to perfection. But for now, it all begins here — in the rich, golden soil.
✨ Gratitude & Community
This project isn’t just ours — it belongs to everyone who shares this passion.
We want to thank Zamnesia, TICAL, Plagron, and Future of Grow for their innovation, creativity, and trust. Each partner brings something essential: art, science, light, and life.
And of course — thank you, the community.
To the long-time followers, the newcomers, the curious, the critics, the friends — you’re all welcome here. Every comment, every bit of love or challenge helps us grow stronger. This is a space for respect, passion, and learning — together.
🌟 The Mission
This grow is a celebration of collaboration and creativity — where art meets earth.
We’ll document every step, from germination to harvest, and later bring this entire journey to life through a YouTube episode that captures the spirit behind the Nectar Drip collaboration — the gold, the glow, the grind, and the gratitude.
Stay tuned — the Nectar Drip begins now.

📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens
All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens.
Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture.
I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back.
It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

DogDoctorOfficial 💛 Nectar Drip – Week 1 Report “Where Gold Meets Light”
────────────────────────────────────────
🌱 Week 1 – The First Breath of Life
The moment the soil trembles…
that’s when the story truly begins.
Both seeds from the Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip collaboration have officially broken ground this week — small, fragile, perfect. The first days of life are always humbling. You’re holding a miracle between your fingers, and all you can do is create the best environment possible and let nature write its opening lines.
This week was all about environmental finesse, gentle nourishment, and setting the tone for the golden journey ahead.
🌡️ Environment – Cradling the Seedlings
Week 1 is the world of high humidity, soft warmth, and minimal stress.
We’re keeping things in a range that allows delicate seedlings to hydrate through their leaves while their roots slowly learn their role.
Relative Humidity: 80–90%
Temperature: ~26°C
Water pH: ~6.8
Lighting Intensity: ~300–400 PPFD (gentle, steady, supportive)
The seedlings sit inside clear humidity domes, helping maintain those elevated moisture levels and creating that soft condensation you captured so beautifully in your macro shots. That glistening surface — droplets clinging to plastic like morning dew — is part of the magic of early life.
Airflow this week stays intentionally minimal.
Seedlings don’t need wind — they need peace, warmth, and stability while their roots establish the first bridges of life beneath the surface.
Nutrition – Micro-Doses & Gentle Introduction
Although seedlings can technically thrive on water alone at this stage, I prefer — as you do — to introduce a micro-touch of nutrition from day one. Not to feed them in force, but to let them taste the mineral world slowly, helping them adapt and avoid any shock once true feeding begins later.
This week, your solution sits around:
EC/TDS: Extremely low (~0.5–0.6)
Base Nutrient: Plagron Terra Grow (micro-dose)
Root Support: Plagron Power Roots, at far below bottle recommendation — just a gentle whisper, not even half-strength
It’s not about feeding — it’s about familiarizing.
A handshake, not a meal.
As the seedlings expand, they’ll already be in sync with the mineral base, making future transitions smooth and stress-free.
Substrate – Bio LightMix: The Golden Bed
The girls are standing directly in Plagron Bio LightMix, a substrate made for this stage.
Light, airy, full of life — the kind of soil that embraces roots rather than restraining them.
Bio LightMix ensures:
Excellent oxygen levels
Soft nutrient baseline appropriate for early development
A hospitable environment for microbial allies
Quick drainage and moisture balance
This combination — gentle soil + gentle EC — creates harmony between organic micro-life and mineral precision.
💡 Lighting – Guided by the Hyper Red Glow
This week, the seedlings grow under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled through the Future of Grow Nova 2C Pro controller.
The spectrum is warm, rich, and deeply supportive of structural development and early root signaling. At 300–400 PPFD, the light gives enough energy for growth without overwhelming the seedlings.
Later in the diary, we’ll go into:
Dimmer curves
Spectrum shifts
Controller programming
Photoperiod strategy
And how each of these plays into maximizing the genetics of the Nectar Drip.
For now, we’re focusing on gentle, golden beginnings.
📸 Macro Moments – Art in the First Week
This week, you pulled out the Sony A6000 with the full-frame Sony macro lens — and you created art.
Droplets shining like liquid diamonds.
Delicate cotyledons emerging like newborn wings.
Condensation captured like morning mist in a miniature world.
Photography here isn’t decoration — it’s documentation of life unfolding at microscopic scale.
Your shots of droplets, textures, and tiny structures elevate this diary into a visual story.
This is how people feel the grow.
🫧 Condensation – A Sign of Life, Not Neglect
In high humidity seedling environments, condensation is a natural companion.
It forms on domes, pots, even your lens — evidence of a warm, living biome working exactly as intended.
We keep it in check, monitor airflow, and ensure seedlings aren’t sitting in stagnant conditions, but overall:
Condensation = Life is happening.
✨ Community & Gratitude – The Golden Circle
This journey is carried by the hands and hearts of many.
We deeply thank:
Zamnesia
TICAL
Plagron
Future of Grow
for their trust, innovation, banners, and support in making the Nectar Drip run possible.
But the greatest appreciation goes to…
you — the community.
To the lovers, the haters, the curious, the loyal, the new arrivals, the silent observers, and the loud critics.
Everyone is welcome here.
Everyone brings something to the table.
Critics sharpen us. Supporters fuel us.
Together, we create something bigger than a grow:
we create culture.

DogDoctorOfficial 🌱 WEEKLY REPORT — 12/12 From Seed Light Shuttle Run
A New Experimental Cycle Filled With Vigor, Authenticity & Community Love
This week marks the launch of our 12/12 from seed light shuttle experiment, an intentional departure from traditional cycles to explore how early flowering signals influence structure, energy distribution, and overall expression. It’s a fresh chapter, and already the project feels alive with momentum.
⸻
🌱 Germination & Early Growth
We germinated a full batch of seeds, and multiple plants are alive and progressing beautifully.
For the sake of consistency, clarity, and storytelling, we’re focusing the formal documentation on two of the strongest individuals—the ones currently showing the most vigor, symmetry, and visual appeal. This keeps the narrative clean while still honoring the success of the full run.
A Note of Transparency
One seed didn’t make it due to a handling slip on our side. Not an environmental issue—just human. And that’s okay. Being transparent keeps the journey authentic, while the rest of the plants continue to shine.
⸻
🌡️ Environmental Conditions
The environment remains controlled and supportive:
• Humidity: 75–80%
• Temperature: ~28°C
• Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed (experimental shuttle approach)
These conditions have fostered healthy early development, vibrant coloration, and confident structural initiation.
⸻
🎥 Photography & Documentation Setup
Visual storytelling is central to this project, and we’re keeping it sharp:
• Sony camera paired with a macro lens
• Capturing early leaf texture, silhouette evolution, and subtle structural details
• High-quality assets for reels, diary entries, and community updates
The packaging reel complements this perfectly—everything feels curated and immersive.
⸻
Growing Medium & Containers
This cycle uses:
• PRO-MIX soil with mycorrhizal support
• 14.5 L grow bags
This foundation supports early vitality and allows the plants to establish themselves comfortably under the unique lighting schedule.
⸻
📸 Overall Impression This Week
The run is off to an exceptional start.
Multiple plants are alive and healthy, and we’ve selected the two most vigorous specimens to document in detail throughout the project. Their early expression is promising, visually rich, and already full of character.
The stability of the environment, the photographic clarity, and the experimental setup give the entire project a vibrant, exciting tone moving forward.
⸻
💚 Community, Gratitude & Acknowledgment
As always, none of this exists in isolation.
A heartfelt thank you to:
• Tical (the music legend behind part of the genetics)
• Zamnesia, co-creator of this beautiful genetic combination
• The entire community — the OGs, the newcomers, the quiet supporters, the loud ones, the curious, the passionate

DogDoctorOfficial 🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report
Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed)
Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268
🌱 Growth Stage Overview
We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach.
All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes:
• One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth.
• One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass.
• One sits right in between, balanced and steady.
This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should.
⸻
🌡️ Environment & Climate Control
The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase:
• Relative Humidity: ~75–80%
• Day Temperature: ~27 °C
• Night Temperature: ~18 °C
• CO₂: ~666 ppm
• Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy
• Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C
• Solution Temperature: ~22 °C
Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement.
⸻
💡 Lighting
The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro.
The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth.
With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally.
⸻
Substrate & Containers
• Containers: 15 L plastic bags
• Medium: ProMix
Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows.
⸻
Nutrition – Philosophy & Application
We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in.
For me, this offers the best of both worlds:
• the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition,
• combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs.
Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent):
• Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition)
• Power Roots (root stimulation)
• Pure Zym (enzyme support)
• Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support)
• Vita Race (foliar & vitality support)
• TDS / EC: ~1.0
• pH: ~6.8
The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job.
Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance.
⸻
Watering
• Volume: ~0.4 L per plant
• Frequency: every 24 hours
Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration.
⸻
Observations & Interpretation
Growth is slow — and that’s expected.
Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance.
Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error.
Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves.
⸻
What to Expect / What Not to Expect
What to Expect:
• Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks
• Continued phenotype variation
• Increased leaf complexity and structure
• Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12
What Not to Expect:
• Explosive vegetative growth
• Uniform plant size
• Immediate stretch or flowering signals
This is a long game, not a sprint.
⸻
🤝 Gratitude & Community
Huge thanks to:
• Zamnesia Seeds
• TICAL (artist & collaborator)
• Plagron
• Future of Grow
for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible.
And as always, thank you to the community —
the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers.
Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow.
Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together.
⸻
🌟 Week 3 Summary
• Environment stable
• Nutrition consistent
• Roots developing
• Phenotypes expressing differently
• Plants healthy, calm, and promising
The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.
More soon.
Growers love always 💚

I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back.
It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained
You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context.
For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this:
• Week 1: ~300 PPFD
• Week 2: ~400 PPFD
Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity:
• Week 3: ~500 PPFD
• Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development
From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive:
the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready.
This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

DogDoctorOfficial 🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report
Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed)
Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268
🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure
This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development.
All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture.
⸻
🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock
We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything.
• Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks)
• Day Temperature: ~26 °C
• Night Temperature: ~18 °C
• CO₂: ~666 ppm
• Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy
• Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C
• Solution Temperature: ~22 °C
Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero.
⸻
💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally
Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development.
• Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD
• Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD
The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase.
⸻
Substrate & Containers
• Medium: ProMix
• Containers: 15 L plastic bags
Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins.
⸻
Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction
Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy.
Current inputs:
• Plagron Terra Grow
• Power Roots
• Pure Zym
• Sugar Royal
• Vita Race (foliar application)
This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess.
As always, the philosophy here is simple:
don’t fix what isn’t broken.
⸻
✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention
This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant.
Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points.
This technique:
• Breaks apical dominance
• Encourages lateral branch development
• Keeps the plant shorter and wider
• Promotes a more even canopy later on
The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward.
The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance.
What to Expect:
• Slower vertical growth on the trained plant
• Increased side branching
• A more compact, bushy structure
What Not to Expect:
• Immediate explosive growth
• Stress reactions
• Delays in overall health
This is guidance, not force.
⸻
🍃 General Observations
• Leaf color remains deep, healthy green
• Growth is compact and intentional
• Plants are calm and responsive
• Training response is already visible
• No signs of stress or imbalance
Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group.

🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed
This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later.
