all_about_420 The germination of the second permanent marker from @TRAPHOUSE_GENETICS was impressively fast. After less than three days, the cotyledon was clearly visible, after which the seedling was directly transferred to a coconut coir pot. After about five days in total, the plant proudly presented its first fully developed leaf pair, showing a great start to the first week.

all_about_420 The Permanent Marker is currently showing its compact side and maintains a very controlled structure despite the steady growth. Since height management is the focus, the energy of Traphouse Genetics is specifically directed towards strengthening the existing shoots, rather than unnecessarily going vertical. Even though the visual jumps are currently more subtle, the plant impresses with a deep green color and excellent leaf health.

all_about_420 The PM 2 shows a slight lightening in the foliage despite the compact internode spacing, indicating the beginning of nutrient hunger. Since the current pot is clearly reaching its limits, the move to the 15-liter final container is imminent to encourage root growth again. With the new volume and fresh substrate, Traphouse Genetics should quickly return to its usual rich green and initiate the next growth spurt.

all_about_420 With the move to the 15-liter final pot, the Permanent Marker has finally received the necessary space for a fresh nutrient supply. By subtly trimming the lower area, air circulation has been optimized, allowing @TRAPHOUSE_GENETICS to fully direct its energy into the main stems. Once it has settled into the new substrate, the next logical step will be the first LST to perfectly shape the structure.

all_about_420 After the permanent markers handled the move to the new substrate excellently, the first LST was on the agenda. The branches were tied down flat and evenly with soft ties to perfectly open the canopy and maximize light yield. The Traphouse Genetics responds extremely well to the training: The foliage visibly gains strength thanks to the new nutrients, turns a richer green again, and displays a wonderfully balanced, bushy shape.

all_about_420 The targeted Low Stress Training shows full effect on the Permanent Marker: The distribution of the shoots is bearing fruit and shaping a beautifully balanced, bushy plant. The branching has massively strengthened due to the bending down, so now numerous, homogeneous shoot tips are standing in the light. In terms of color, the Traphouse Genetics has visibly stabilized thanks to the larger pot volume and is continuing to grow vigorously with a strong, vibrant green.

all_about_420 Since the PM in the back of the tent has now exceeded all dimensions, a radical, strategic intervention was unavoidable this week. Before defoliating and lollipopping, the plant had proudly reached 71 cm, which was simply too tall due to the ongoing lack of space in the tent. Through targeted cutting and the LST reset, it was consistently pruned back to 55 cm and completely cleared in the lower area. This massive measure takes the vertical pressure off the Traphouse Genetics and ensures that the remaining structure is optimally ventilated and illuminated, perfectly bridging the remaining waiting time.

all_about_420 With a super fast recovery after the hard trim, this lady impresses all around. Just a few days after the radical pruning, the genetics from Traphouse Genetics have excellently regenerated, built a new, healthy leaf cover, and already gained a good amount of height again. The plant shows real resilience here and is now standing with a perfectly opened, powerful crown, absolutely ready for the next big step.

all_about_420 And it grows and grows and grows! The stretch is already in full swing and is breaking through with such force, as if I hadn't just drastically cut back the plant recently. Traphouse Genetics is setting an unbelievable pace and is shooting straight up. I'm extremely curious to see how much mass it adds in the next few days – if this keeps up, this Permanent Marker will be an absolute giant. The first delicate stigmas are already showing at the tips of the shoots, marking the official start of a promising flowering phase.

all_about_420 The stretch is unstoppable and is pushing this lady to a whole new level. In the second week of flowering, Traphouse Genetics has already surpassed the one-meter mark, and there’s no end in sight for now – after all, we feel like we’re just halfway through the stretch. The fact that the plant is handling this enormous force so effortlessly is largely thanks to its extremely massive, woody stem, which serves as an ultra-stable foundation for the towering shoots. The nutrient supply is fully kicking in, and while the branching continues to gain height, the next, much more pronounced flower sites are already forming at the tips.

all_about_420 In the third week of flowering, this stunning specimen breaks the mark of a proud 115 cm. Right on schedule for day 21, the obligatory lollipopping was on the agenda, where the plant was thoroughly thinned out and cleared in the lower area. This measure ensures optimal air circulation in the tent and directs all the energy of the Traphouse Genetics specifically to the upper levels. With the simultaneous light defoliation, light now penetrates perfectly down to the lower nodes. The reaction doesn't take long to show: the flower clusters noticeably gain structure, form increasingly compact clusters, and already display beautiful, fine resin formation on the surrounding sugar leaves.

all_about_420 The flower development is progressing beautifully, but this lady is now showing extremely strong vertical growth in the individual shoots. The stretch has shot some branches up enormously. If this genetics from Traphouse Genetics behaves similarly to the first Permanent Marker, I don’t expect extremely fat, heavy single buds at the end, but rather a variety of very long, thinner flower strands. Since the shoots already look quite long and graceful, I strongly assume that we will definitely need additional supports or yo-yos later in the flowering stage to carry the weight of the mass. Currently, the plant is fully focused on resin production, and the trichome formation is visibly increasing day by day.

all_about_420 A little highlight saves this week's logbook: a 17-second time-lapse video documents the days of my absence. While the first part primarily focuses on the RS11, the second section excellently showcases the development of this lady. However, the footage also reveals the anticipated weak point. The long, delicate flower stems are starting to lean under the increasing weight of the flowering and are already noticeably leaning against the tent wall. Unfortunately, the babysitter didn't intervene in this regard, so stabilizing the Traphouse Genetics is now at the top of my to-do list for my return. The resin and flower production, however, continues to run at full speed.

all_about_420 Just back from vacation, it was time to provide first aid in the tent. As already feared, the long, slender stems couldn't withstand the massive flower growth of the last few days. Right after I got home, I had to secure the plant immediately with a central plant stake and plant hangers to prevent it from toppling over. Once upright, the genetics from Traphouse Genetics really show what they're made of. The flower clusters are fantastically arranged, and the trichome formation is completely escalating. A frosty layer of resin now covers the compact buds and is creeping deep into the sugar leaves. Despite the vacation rush, the foundation is absolutely vital and focused on the final ripening, thanks to Advanced Nutrients.

all_about_420 We're heading into the final stretch! The picture shows this lady in her full, late glory just before the big finale. The stabilization with the central plant stake and the hanging ropes has absolutely paid off – the structure is rock solid, while the countless flower strands are reaching their maximum potential. In direct comparison, it’s noticeable that this second phenotype has significantly stretched and shot up much higher than the first version. A real surprise comes from the aroma of Traphouse Genetics: This plant smells much more intense and pronounced this time with the typical, name-giving "Permanent Marker" profile. I'm even more excited for the taste test and curious to see if it will ultimately stand out in flavor from the first one. The autumnal fading of the leaves indicates that the reserves are perfectly mobilized – we are ready for the scissors!

all_about_420 Here it is – the final curtain for this run! In this very last week before the harvest, the lady is showing her absolute best side. The autumn "fade" has beautifully colored the leaves yellow-orange, a clear sign that she is completely spent and has put all remaining nutrients into the buds. The buds of this phenotype from Traphouse Genetics have gained significant density and are completely covered in a frosty, thick layer of resin. The long, graceful flower strands hang heavily in their ropes, and the structure has held perfectly until the last second. The smell is an absolute knockout – the pungent permanent marker aroma has reached its absolute peak just before the chop. The flushing is complete, the lights will soon be turned off, and the scissors are ready. An extremely successful run is coming to an end!

Happy Harvest Day!

Permanent Marker Traphouse

7/10

Rated

Final Report: Permanent Marker #2 (Traphouse Genetics) Vegetative Phase The vegetative phase lasted a very long time this run, totaling around four months. During this extensive growth period, the plant was intensively manipulated through topping and Low Stress Training (LST) to develop an even structure and a stable foundation. The main stem became extremely massive and woody due to the long veg time. Flowering Phase With the switch to the Advanced Nutrients schedule right on time for the start of flowering, an extremely intense stretch began. The plant shot up too much for my taste in the first weeks of flowering, resulting in very long and graceful shoots. On day 21, a thorough lollipopping followed to direct the energy to the upper levels. By the middle of the flowering phase, the flower clusters became so long that they threatened to topple under their own weight and eventually had to be stabilized with a central plant stake and hanging ropes. Towards the end, a beautiful autumn fade set in. Overall Conclusion & Phenotype Comparison The direct comparison between the first Permanent Marker #1 and this second run (Permanent Marker #2) provides an extremely interesting test result regarding the phenotype variance of this genetics from Traphouse Genetics: Growth Behavior & Stretch: While the first run remained more compact, this phenotype showed a significantly more pronounced and, for me, too strong stretch during the flowering phase, making the use of mechanical supports unavoidable. Bud Structure & Density: The bud structure of Permanent Marker #2 is noticeably more graceful compared to the first version. The buds did not become thick and firm enough in the end but rather present themselves as many elongated single flowers. Trichome Coverage: The first plant is ahead in terms of resin coverage as well. While Permanent Marker #2 has a nice layer of resin, the trichome coverage is not quite as extreme and intense in direct comparison. Aroma & Terpenes: This is where this run has a clear advantage. The aroma of Permanent Marker #2 is significantly more pronounced, intense, and distinctive, leaning towards the typical, namesake Permanent Marker profile compared to the first time. Overall, a fascinating run that, despite the drawbacks in bud firmness, impresses with an absolutely dominant and piercing terpene profile.

all_about_420 The day of the harvest has finally arrived! The discoloration of the fan leaves has reached its peak, and the nutrient reserves are completely depleted. The plant is perfectly dressed in autumn colors and is ready for the cut. Until the end, the support ropes have securely held the heavy, delicate flower strands in place. The enchanting scent in the tent is overwhelming – now the light is turned off and the scissors are ready!
