Dognabis cup #420 P & A

ElBrujoTHC_Official First week of life for our Permanent Marker, and along with it our first transplant. Starting the grow with special attention to cleanliness, hydration, and proper germination. From the very beginning, we prioritized a stable start, without stress, letting the plants set their own pace. 🔬 INITIAL CONTROL • Stable environment • Adequate humidity for germination • Minimal handling Personally, I prefer to start my seedlings in plastic cups, easy to water in the first few days, but I like to transplant them 'quickly' since the roots first look for the bottom, and from there they begin to search for width and then start curling from the bottom up. That said, my opinion based on my experience: -A good timely transplant greatly improves growth.- Wanting to fill the entire pot with roots before transplanting to a larger pot really slows down the growth of our girls. So far, the 3 super girls are doing great 🍀

ElBrujoTHC_Official Week 2 of vegetation: the plants have quickly doubled in height. Healthy leaves, deep green color with no signs of deficiency. Applying an apical trim to the second node of one of our 3 Permanent Marker from Zamnesia, we will be training it to promote even branching. Feeling vigorous and stable development. We started germinating our 2 Jealousy Diesel autoflowering from Octogenetica 🍀💚

ElBrujoTHC_Official Week 3 of vegetation: During this phase, root development and a balanced structure were prioritized. Growth was not forced, aiming for healthy and symmetrical plants before entering more demanding phases. 🔬 VEGETATIVE PARAMETERS • Controlled temperature and humidity • Stable photoperiod • Adjusted watering, without excess • No signs of stress Excellent and symmetrical growth. Applying LST and starting light defoliation to allow light to reach the lower canopy. We finished the week by transplanting our three Permanent Marker into 25-liter pots 💪🏻 We took advantage of having 3 Permanent Marker seeds to try each one with a different technique; one will be left practically natural, another will get LST, and the last one will be trained mostly with LST and apical pruning. Incorporation of our two Jealousy Diesel autos from Octogenetica. The grow tent is starting to take shape 😍❤️💫

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 4: advanced vegetation with multiple training techniques done. Goal: a strong and compact structure for when flowering starts. The large and healthy leaves reflect a good balance of nutrients and light. Jealousy Diesel auto: At first, it struggles a bit, but once it gets a good grip, it’s going to shoot up to the sky, noticeably healthy 🍀 We're continuing to grow little by little. 💫

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Stability was prioritized over unnecessary interventions. Last week of vegetative and transition to 12/12. Noticing sturdiness in stems and structure ready for flowering. Gradual adjustment of watering and environment. First signs of flowering are expected soon, maximum excitement 🌿✨. The plants showed good response and vigor. An adequate structure was observed to support flowering, so it was decided to proceed without making aggressive corrections. Jealousy Diesel auto: maybe a bit slow in growth at first but I know they are going to grow big 🍀 / I would like to give them more time to grow but I'm running out of time for the contest, doing the math I'm almost forced to start flowering already. Still, I trust the shape they are taking and the stretch of flowering will help finish shaping my little masterpieces 💫🍀

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 6 of flowering: complete switch to 12/12. First pistils starting to appear, buds just beginning to form. Nutrients and environment adjusted to promote floral development. Overall health excellent, with no signs of stress. Transition to flowering carried out with healthy and well-structured plants. The goal was a gradual change, maintaining stable parameters to avoid stress during the stretch. Jealousy Diesel auto; It seems they have fully taken hold and are starting to grow vigorously. Super healthy, the leaves look like plastic. 😍🍀 🔬 TRANSITION TO FLOWERING • Photoperiod 12/12 • Environment adjusted to the new phase • Daily observation of response to stretch

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 7 of flowering: buds growing and densifying. Pistils clearly visible and progressive color change. The health of the leaves and structure indicates that the plants are responding very well to the photoperiod. We continue with LST and defoliation to allow maximum light at the tips. Jealousy Diesel auto: Intense, beautiful greens, they captivate me😍 It’s starting to flower and with that, it’s beginning its stretch 🚀

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 8: buds are becoming more formed, trichomes well-defined, and pistils reaching golden tones. Good resin is noticeable on the most productive tips. Nutrient and environment adjustments focused on maintaining health and resin production. Perfect development for my training. Feeling like an excellent finish is coming. 😵‍💫💯💚 Jealousy Diesel auto: Notable impressive stretch and it still has room to grow, the leaves look plastic with how they shine. 😍🍀

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 9: very marked bud development, pistils turning golden, dominant milky trichomes. The structure and density suggest very promising fattening. Stable environment with no visible stress. Excited for the final phase. 😍 Jealousy Diesel auto: It keeps surprising me with its structure, size, and color; they are stretching a lot but are well-branched. 💪🏼💯 Good start to flowering with clear pre-flower formation. The plants responded uniformly, maintaining a balanced development between structure and floral production. Nutrient intake was not pushed, prioritizing health and adaptation to the new stage.

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 10: firm and resinous buds, color and texture showing health and development. Nutrient adjustment with K‑Boost to promote fattening and resin. Golden pistils and milky/amber trichomes. Everything indicates that the end is very near 🎯. Jealousy Diesel auto: They don't want to fall behind and they show it, fighting with our photoperiods "with two balls" 💪🏻 They are starting to smell incredible already 😵💫🔥 🔬 MID-FLOWERING CONTROL • Stable environment • Parameters adjusted to the phase • Moderate nutrition • No stress observed Key stage of the cultivation. A progressive fattening of the buds and a noticeable increase in resin is appreciated. The cultivation remained stable, with no blockages or visible deficiencies. 📊 STAGE SUMMARY Flowering progressing correctly, with healthy plants and good productive potential.

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 11: buds almost at their optimal density. Milky trichomes dominate and there is an incipient presence of amber. K‑Boost successfully applied. Stable environment with no stress. Harvest very close. Jealousy Diesel auto: Diabolical lemon aromas emanate, the flowering is a bit late but promises a lot 😍 The buds continue to gain density and resin. Progressive maturation is observed, with pistils darkening and increasingly defined aromas. Environmental stability was prioritized over forcing the final fattening.

ElBrujoTHC_Official Permanent Marker: Week 12: buds at maximum density and resin. Milky trichomes mixed with amber, completely golden pistils. Impeccable health and robust structure. Jealousy Diesel auto: It has surpassed our photoperiod plants in height, continues to emit intense aromas, getting stronger every time, it drives me crazy. Milky trichomes and firm buds are mostly observed, indicating a correct evolution towards the optimal harvest point. 🔬 MATURATION • Controlled environment • Adjusted watering • Observation of trichomes and pistils Final quality is prioritized over a rushed harvest. The Permanent Marker shows a more compact and faster flowering. The Jealousy Diesel auto progresses more slowly, but continues to develop correctly, respecting its own genetic pace. And so we complete the seventh week of flowering. I have been able to update my diary, saving all my follow-up that I had uploaded on Instagram up to today, now I will follow it weekly. Thank you all for your support💚

ElBrujoTHC_Official Week 8 of flowering. 🌹 We're entering a key phase of the grow, where the focus is on progressive ripening and maintaining stability so the plants can fully express their potential. The buds continue to fatten week after week, with a very evident resin production, especially on sugar leaves and upper calyxes. The aromas are starting to intensify and the floral structure remains firm and well-formed, with the flowers beginning to take nutrients from the leaves. -Permanent Marker: The Permanent Marker are showing a very attractive flowering. Buds are becoming more compact, trichomes visible even to the naked eye, and a constant evolution with no signs of stress. The trichomes are mostly clear with a progressive appearance of milky ones, indicating that there’s still room for fattening and ripening. The pistils are starting to oxidize little by little, but there are still a large number of active whites. The terpene it emits is very potent, complex to describe, with slight variations among the three specimens. At this stage, it has been decided not to force nutrition, prioritizing stability and overall health for a clean and quality finish. -Jealousy Diesel Auto The Jealousy Diesel auto are progressing at a slightly slower pace, but in a consistent and healthy manner. The formation of trichomes is overwhelming, along with an impressive citrus, orange, and spicy terpene that lingers in your nose for hours after handling it. Their natural pace has been respected, without rushing, allowing them to continue developing resin and floral structure progressively. 🔬 Control and technical decisions: • Stable environment throughout the week. • Light cycle 12/12. • Moderate nutrition, without excesses. • Adjusted watering and daily observation. • No signs of stress or significant deficiencies. At this point in the grow, the priority has been to maintain consistency and avoid any abrupt changes that could affect the final quality. 🔍 Ripening status: Trichomes: mostly clear, beginning of milky. Pistils: mix of whites and some oxidized. Resin: very abundant. Buds: still in the fattening phase. It’s still not time to harvest. The priority is to let the plants complete their cycle and reach their optimal ripening point. The magic is taking effect. ,😍🌿✨❤️

ElBrujoTHC_Official 🌾 Week 14 – Root washing, final defoliation, and the home stretch. This week 14 marks a decisive stage in this grow for the Dognabiscup. We're now in the home stretch, with the plants very close to their optimal ripeness. This week the focus is on cleaning, organizing, and allowing the plant to finish its cycle naturally. Root washing has begun progressively to eliminate remnants of salts and nutrients accumulated in the substrate, promoting a cleaner ripening, better expression of terpenes, and a purer final profile. 🌿 Light and selective defoliation During this week, a small strategic defoliation has also been carried out, very controlled and without excesses. The goal has not been to force the plant, but to: Remove large leaves that were no longer contributing efficient photosynthesis. Improve light penetration in middle and lower areas. Increase ventilation between buds, reducing the risk of humidity. Facilitate visual access for monitoring trichomes. This defoliation has been done while respecting the natural structure of each plant as much as possible, without stress or aggressive pruning, understanding that at this stage the priority is to ripen, not to grow. 🌿 Permanent Marker – Photodependents: The Permanent Marker are showing a very high resin level, with well-developed trichomes and a clear transition to milky states, with the first amber appearing on the upper flowers. The pistils are mostly oxidized, and the buds feel firm and compact, a sign of a well-managed flowering. After the washing and defoliation, the plant is focused solely on finishing the ripening of the flowers, without distractions or nutritional blockages. 🌱 Jealousy Diesel – Autoflower: The Jealousy Diesel are following their own pace, a bit slower, but with very balanced development. The final fattening continues, and resin production is evident. Although they still need a bit more time than the photodependents, they respond very well to both the washing and the light defoliation, remaining healthy and stable. Here the key is respecting the genetic tempo, without rushing the end. 🔬 Technical control of the week: • Progressive root washing. • Light and selective defoliation. • Stable environment without abrupt changes. • Controlled temperature and humidity. • No signs of stress or deficiencies. • Total priority on ripening and quality. 📆 Current status: Mostly milky trichomes, with amber appearing. Pistils in an advanced oxidation phase. Dense and well-formed flowers. Marked resin production. Although the grow is already very advanced, daily evolution is still being observed, especially in trichomes and aroma, so the plan is to accompany these last days with patience and precision. 🎯 Next step: Next week will be key for: - Evaluating trichomes with a magnifying glass/macro. - Deciding the exact moment for harvest. All the work, love, passion, and consistency are finally paying off 😍. The terpenes are impressive, sweet, citrusy, overwhelming, potent, very hard to describe. I can't wait to harvest them ✨❤️.

ElBrujoTHC_Official 🌾 Week 15 – Caramel Point, Fine-Tuning Trichomes. Week 15 of flowering and the plants have reached that sought-after point where they are literally at caramel point, ready to harvest. At this moment, both genetics could be cut without any problem, but it has been decided to wait a few more days to slightly increase the percentage of amber trichomes and finalize the profile. Root washing continues, maintaining a clean and stable watering to allow the plant to finish consuming its reserves and complete maturation without interference. 🌿 Permanent Marker – Photoperiod The Permanent Marker are showing very advanced maturity. The trichomes are mostly milky, with a clear presence of amber already visible, and the pistils are practically all oxidized. The buds are hard, compact, and covered in resin. Although they could be harvested at this point, it has been decided to give them a few extra days to: -Slightly increase the percentage of amber trichomes. -Round out the final effect. -Add more depth to the terpene profile. A decision based on direct observation and not on a calendar. 🌱 Jealousy Diesel – Autoflower The Jealousy Diesel have also reached a state very close to their optimal point. The final fattening is practically complete and resin production is evident. Like the photoperiods, they could be cut now, but it has been decided to wait a few more days to allow the trichomes to continue evolving towards amber. In this genetic line, patience is key to achieving a more complete and mature effect. 🌿 Visible effects of root washing. The root washing is fulfilling its function: -Leaves progressively losing color. -Energy concentrated in the flowers. +Cleaner and more defined aromas. -Stable plant, with no signs of stress. Everything indicates that the plants are naturally closing their cycle. 🔬 Technical Control – Week 15 • Continuous root washing • Water-only watering • Stable environment with no changes • Controlled temperature • Humidity adjusted for late flowering • Daily observation of trichomes Current state -Trichomes: predominantly milky + increasing amber. -Pistils: almost completely oxidized. -Flowers: fully formed and dense. -Resin: abundant and mature. We are literally in the final stretch, fine-tuning details before the cut. 🎯 Next Step In the coming days, the final harvest decision will be made based on: -Trichome evolution. -Aroma. -General sensations of the plant. The end of this grow is very close 🌿🔥

ElBrujoTHC_Official ✂️ Harvest Day – Permanent Marker (Zamnesia) Harvest of the photoperiod strains. The time has come to harvest the photoperiod Permanent Marker. After a long and well-controlled flowering period, with root washes and a relaxed maturation, the decision has been made to cut at the exact point sought for this genetic. The plants had been ready for several days, but it was decided to wait a bit longer to increase the percentage of amber trichomes and finish rounding out both the effect and the terpene profile. 🔬 Reason for the harvest The decision was based on direct observation of trichomes, not on the calendar: -Mostly milky trichomes. -Clear presence of amber trichomes, especially on the upper flowers. -Pistils practically oxidized. -Completely formed, dense, and hard buds. +Intense and well-defined aroma. At this point, the plant was no longer producing new floral mass, but refining resin, terpenes, and maturity, a clear sign that it was the right time for the cut. 🌿 Condition of the plants at harvest. The Permanent Marker have reached the end of the cycle: -Root wash completed. -No signs of stress. -Leaves progressively and naturally losing color. -Energy completely focused on the flowers. Everything indicates that the closure of the grow has been done progressively and in a controlled manner, respecting the timing of the genetics. ✂️ Cutting process. The harvest was carried out calmly, taking care of each plant and avoiding unnecessary handling to protect the resin. From here begins a phase as important as the cultivation: the drying, where the goal will be to preserve as much as possible all the work done during flowering. Very satisfied with the results of these Permanent Marker and how they have reached the end of the cycle 🌿🔥

ElBrujoTHC_Official ✂️ Harvest Day – Jealousy Diesel Auto (Octogenetica) Harvest of the autoflowering plants. The time has come to harvest the Jealousy Diesel autoflowering plants from Octogenetica. Although on paper this strain indicates a shorter cycle, in practice it was decided to fully respect its pace, allowing it to extend its cycle until it reached the maturity point sought. The harvest was carried out when the plants showed clear signs of real ripeness, prioritizing quality and effect over theoretical timings. 🔬 Reason for the harvest The decision to cut was made after constant observation of trichomes and the general state of the plant: -Mostly milky trichomes. -Progressive appearance of amber trichomes. -Mostly rusted pistils. -Completely formed and resinous buds. -Intense aroma with well-defined notes. Although they could have been harvested a few days earlier, it was decided to give them the extra time needed for the resin to finish maturing properly. 🌱 Condition of the Jealousy Diesel at harvest The autos have reached harvest: -After completing the root wash. -With no signs of stress. -With leaves naturally losing color. -Energy completely focused on the flowers. This behavior confirms that the plant was naturally closing its cycle without blockages. ✂️ Cutting process The harvest was carried out carefully, respecting the structure of the flowers and minimizing handling to protect the resin. From here, the drying process begins, a key phase to preserve the aroma and quality obtained during cultivation. Very happy with how these autos have responded, demonstrating that patience also pays off. 🌿🔥
