DogDoctorOfficial # Chem Brulee by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱🔥🍮 ## Germination Week | A New Journey Begins Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new diary and another new adventure. As some of you may have noticed, I've recently changed the way I'm documenting my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To document the entire process honestly and thoroughly from seed to harvest while sharing observations, techniques, successes, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. The only difference is that now each phenotype gets its own space to tell its story. And today, that story begins with Chem Brulee Pheno B. --- ## The Beginning of Something New Every grow starts the same way. A small seed. A huge amount of potential. And a lot of curiosity. For this run, we're following Chem Brulee from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll do my best to explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. Because growing is not only about results. It's also about understanding the journey. --- ## Germination With the Cannakan System To begin this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For anyone unfamiliar with it, the Cannakan is a compartmentalized germination container designed to keep multiple cultivars organized while providing a stable environment for germination. Each section can be individually labeled, making it easy to track multiple genetics simultaneously. The seeds were placed inside using only plain water. Nothing more. No nutrients. No additives. No rooting products. Just water. Approximately 24 hours later, healthy taproots had already emerged and the seeds were ready for the next stage. Simple. Efficient. Exactly what we hope to see. --- ## Why I Use Only Water During Germination A common question during germination is why I choose not to introduce nutrients immediately. The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything required to begin life. Nature prepared that package long before we ever became involved. Inside that tiny shell are the resources needed to establish roots and begin early growth. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural reserves. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. --- ## First Experience Using Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess water while still maintaining plenty of moisture and oxygen. Once germinated, the seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome was only needed briefly. Within less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were showing healthy development. At that point, they were transplanted into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environmental Conditions The environment during germination was intentionally simple and stable. Temperatures remained around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. While many growers prefer keeping seedlings inside high-humidity domes for extended periods, I personally prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle. The goal is adaptation rather than prolonged protection. Airflow was kept extremely gentle. Just enough movement to keep the air fresh without creating stress for young seedlings. --- ## Heat Mat Temperatures The propagation mat was operating around 40°C. Although that number may sound high at first, the heat source itself must run above the desired root-zone temperature in order to compensate for environmental losses. The seedlings are not exposed directly to 40°C. Instead, the mat provides a stable source of warmth that helps maintain ideal rooting conditions and encourages rapid germination. The goal is consistency. And seeds love consistency. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination is intentionally kept soft. Young seedlings do not require intense light levels. The objective is healthy establishment rather than aggressive growth. Once these girls become properly established, they will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of the adventure begins. We'll start discussing PPFD, light intensity, and environmental adjustments in greater detail during the coming weeks. For now, healthy beginnings remain the priority. --- ## First Impressions Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And perhaps most importantly: A clean start. At this stage, every seedling is still a mystery. No one knows exactly how a phenotype will develop. And honestly, that's one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. Every plant has its own personality waiting to emerge. --- ## Looking Forward Over the coming weeks we'll follow Chem Brulee Pheno B through its early development and beyond. We'll explore: - Root development - Plant structure - Environmental management - Watering practices - Light intensity - Growth observations - And any unique traits this phenotype decides to reveal Because every seed begins with potential. The journey ahead determines how that potential unfolds. This is only the beginning. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone joining along for another grow from seed to harvest. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

DogDoctorOfficial Chem Brulee by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱🔥 Vegetative Week 1 | The Little Rebel Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another week of this 12/12 From Seed project. Today we’re taking a look at Chem Brulee Pheno B as she completes her first full week of life and begins settling into her final home. As with all plants in this run, the environmental conditions, feeding schedule, substrate, and cultivation approach remain identical across the room. The objective is simple: provide every phenotype with the same starting conditions and allow their individual genetics to tell the story. And already, Chem Brulee Pheno B is beginning to tell hers. ⸻ Starting Life In Her Final Container Following germination, Chem Brulee Pheno B was transplanted directly into her final container filled with Plagron Lightmix. Because this project follows a 12/12 From Seed methodology, we prefer minimizing unnecessary stress during the early stages of development. By giving each seedling its final home immediately, the roots can begin exploring the entire container from day one without requiring additional transplants later in the cycle. The goal remains simple: Healthy roots. Consistent growth. Minimal interruptions. So far, she appears to have settled in very comfortably. ⸻ Light Feeding For Early Development The first irrigation consisted only of water, allowing the seedling to establish itself naturally while utilizing the nutrients already present within the seed and substrate. After several days we introduced our gentle starter feeding program consisting of: 🌱 Terra Grow 🌱 Pure Zym 🌱 Power Roots 🌱 Sugar Royal All products were applied at light dosages designed to encourage root development and healthy early growth without overwhelming the young plant. At this stage we are building foundations rather than chasing speed. ⸻ Environmental Conditions The room remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🌱 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌿 CO₂ levels: approximately 600 ppm Lighting remained at approximately 350 PPFD under a 12/12 schedule. Although this intensity may appear relatively high for young seedlings, the reduced photoperiod means total daily light exposure remains moderate when compared to traditional 18/6 vegetative schedules. This allows the plants to adapt early to stronger light levels while maintaining a balanced Daily Light Integral (DLI). ⸻ A Phenotype With Character If there is one thing that immediately stands out about Chem Brulee Pheno B, it is her unusual leaf development. From the very beginning she displayed slightly elongated, narrow, and somewhat unusual first leaves compared to her sister. At first glance she almost appears a little quirky. A little rebellious. The kind of seedling that makes growers stop and think: “Well… you’re certainly doing things your own way.” And that is exactly what makes phenotype hunting so enjoyable. Not every plant develops identically, even when grown side by side under identical conditions. Sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that refuse to follow expectations. ⸻ Strong Progress Despite The Weirdness What is particularly encouraging is that despite the unusual leaf structure, overall development has remained healthy throughout the week. Growth has been steady. Color remains vibrant. New growth continues appearing consistently. And by the end of the week we are already seeing the emergence of a nicely formed three-finger leaf set above those original, slightly unusual leaves. This is often where the true personality of a plant begins to reveal itself. While her early leaf morphology may look different, the newer growth already appears more structured and confident. For now, there are no concerns. Only curiosity. And excitement. ⸻ Looking Ahead The coming week should provide a much clearer picture of where this phenotype wants to go. Will the unusual leaf characteristics continue? Will she grow out of them completely? Or will they become part of her defining personality? That is one of the joys of documenting individual phenotypes from seed. Every plant writes its own story. And Chem Brulee Pheno B has already started hers in a very interesting way. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Chem Brulee genetics featured in this project. Thank you to Plagron for supplying the nutrition and substrate supporting this run. And thank you to Future of Grow, and everyone following these diaries week after week. Your support allows us to document every step of this journey from seed to harvest. As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next week… Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🔥

DogDoctorOfficial Week 2 - Chem Brulee (Pheno B) 🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining us for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars and phenotypes grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary so we can properly document individual development, compare expressions, and follow each plant’s unique journey from seed to harvest. Rather than combining multiple plants into a single diary, each phenotype gets its own spotlight. Even when seeds come from the same pack, nature often has different ideas, and watching those differences emerge is one of the most fascinating parts of the adventure. This entire run remains under a 12/12 light schedule from day one. The objective is not to create large vegetative plants but to explore genetic diversity, plant structure, vigor, flowering behavior, and overall performance from seed to harvest. Week 2 Overview Week 2 brought another excellent round of development throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Growth rates continue increasing as root systems establish themselves and plants begin transitioning from seedling behavior into active vegetative growth. Across the room, the response to both nutrition and environmental conditions has been very encouraging. Lighting intensity has now increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s across the canopy, giving the young plants additional energy while remaining perfectly suited for this stage of life. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Watering remained measured and consistent. Each plant received approximately 250 ml on Day 8 and another 250 ml on Day 11. Nutrition was increased gradually as the plants demonstrated they were ready for additional feeding. Week-ending values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire room continues responding positively, showing healthy coloration, strong growth rates, and excellent vigor. Chem Brulee Pheno B While her sister attracts attention with broad leaves and longer petioles, Chem Brulee Pheno B has quietly been building her own identity throughout Week 2. And she is doing it beautifully. Growth has been steady and healthy from start to finish, with excellent color, balanced structure, and a strong response to the increasing nutrition levels. One detail that immediately caught my attention this week was a subtle discoloration present on one of the earlier three-finger leaves. Nothing concerning. Nothing problematic. Simply one of those tiny genetic quirks that reminds us every plant writes its own story. The coloration is subtle, attractive, and unique enough to stand out when viewing the plant closely. Little details like this are exactly why phenotype documentation is so enjoyable. Development Notes Throughout the week, Chem Brulee Pheno B continued stacking new growth with impressive consistency. The plant now carries multiple healthy leaf sets and has already begun producing beautiful five-finger leaves despite her young age. Seeing five-finger leaves appear this early is always a satisfying milestone because it signals the plant is fully transitioning into active vegetative growth. Color remains vibrant across the entire plant. New growth appears healthy and vigorous, while older leaves maintain excellent condition with no signs of stress. Structure remains balanced and symmetrical, creating a very attractive young plant. While she may not be identical to her sister, she certainly isn’t trying to be. And that’s exactly what makes following multiple phenotypes so rewarding. Small Differences, Big Personality One thing becoming increasingly clear is that Chem Brulee Pheno B is developing her own personality. The subtle variation in leaf coloration, the slightly different structure, and the way she carries her growth all contribute to a phenotype that feels distinct despite sharing genetics with her sibling. This is often where the real fun begins. As plants mature, those small differences frequently become larger distinctions, making each phenotype easier to identify and appreciate. For now, everything points toward a healthy and promising young plant with plenty of potential ahead. Macro Photography Corner This week also provided an opportunity for a little creative photography. A few close-up macro shots captured water droplets resting on the leaves, reflecting the patterns of the LED lighting above. These tiny reflections create miniature worlds inside each droplet and offer a completely different perspective on the garden. It’s one of my favorite reminders that even the smallest details inside a grow room can become beautiful when viewed from the right angle. The reflections, the textures, the tiny imperfections, and the way light interacts with the plant all tell part of the story. Room Life The room continues operating smoothly as environmental control remains a major priority. Humidity levels are maintained with the help of the humidifier, allowing the young plants to develop comfortably while root systems continue expanding. The gradual increase in nutrient levels has been well received across the room, and growth rates continue trending upward. Mr. Baggy remains actively involved in daily operations. Current responsibilities include: • Plant inspections • Environmental monitoring • Photography supervision • Quality control assessments • Looking exceptionally important while doing very little His contract remains under review. Looking Ahead If development continues at the current pace, next week should bring: • Additional node formation • Larger five-finger leaves • Faster vegetative growth • Increased stem thickness • More obvious phenotype separation • Continued canopy expansion I’m especially interested to see whether the subtle leaf coloration characteristic remains visible as the plant matures or if it simply fades away as new growth takes over. Either outcome will be interesting to document. Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another excellent chapter for Chem Brulee Pheno B. Healthy growth. Beautiful color. Strong vigor. Early five-finger leaf development. And a few subtle traits that help distinguish her from her sibling. She may not be the loudest plant in the room, but she has a quiet charm that becomes more noticeable every time the camera comes out. Strong, healthy, and steadily building momentum. Exactly what we want to see at this stage. A huge thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing knowledge, and supporting the project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all the partners helping make this journey possible. And most importantly, thank you to the community. Your encouragement, ideas, conversations, and shared passion are what make documenting these projects so rewarding. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. 🌱💚Growers Love everyone.🌱💚
