A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. It’s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. I’ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12” autos but at 2’ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, she’s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

🌱 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. More updates coming soon on Instagram and YouTube. Until then, roots down, heads high 🌿 With love and light, DD (Dog Doctor) 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

She was a pleasure to cut. Beautiful trim. So far pure berries and gas. I'll update on the smoke report once she's cured. I had a mini toke sesh earlier and it was definitely LSD. Definitely turning on some different visual/auditory receptors. It was nice and long and happy. She's only going to continue to get better. The buds are kind of fluffy but I find that all the purples I've grown turn out like that. The greens tend to produce much more weight/density. I'm not one to harp on density. I'm more about the flavor/effect.

Now we've reached day 41 The situation here is starting to get really very interesting, the flowers are starting to swell and well too, the plant is taking a full flower shape and there is also a super scent. The plant is growing, we have started giving fertilizers for flowering again to avoid going into shortage. We wait to see the flowers and you will see... Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - WURLZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: EFFECTS TO LEAVE YOUR HEAD IN A WHIRL! As the end product of combining Runtz with Watermelon Candy, Wurlz F1 hybrid Automatic showcases a reliable, uniform, and, above all, easy growing experience. The resulting buds offer mind-blowing flavors and soothing effects, making Wurlz F1 Automatic more than worthy of being on your radar. GROWING WURLZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC As an autoflowering strain, it takes just 9–10 weeks for Wurlz F1 Automatic to move from germination to harvest. Fortunately, there's very little required other than a bit of maintenance along the way. This is partly due to the F1 genetics that make this strain robust and uniform, resulting in plants that reach a similar height and provide a similar (large) yield. Moreover, Wurlz F1 Automatic is highly resistant to disease, pests, and other ailments. Reaching heights of about 65–80cm, Wurlz F1 Automatic is not an overbearing plant and can fit into smaller spaces with zero fuss. Once ready to yield, growers have the potential to see a return in the region of 450–500g/m² indoors and 50–150g/plant outdoors. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF WURLZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC After Wurlz F1 Hybrid Automatic wows you with its easygoing growing experience, the best is yet to come: the smoke test. Teeming with terpenes, this cultivar offers a fruity and candy-like flavor tinged with just a little bit of pine for good measure. In terms of effects, Wurlz F1 Automatic is bolstered by 24% THC and a finely tuned array of cannabinoids, making for a soothing, physically relaxing, and, in larger amounts, couch-locking high. So settle in with some of your favorite friends, snacks, and movies; this is relaxation at its finest. www.zamnesia.io

07.05. Grow Diary – Day 56 (Flowering Day 36) Strain: Sour Frootz by Karma Genetics Plants: 4 clones Training: HST + SCROG Nutrients: Green House Feeding – Bio Grow & Bio Bloom Status: Everything is running perfectly! At Flowering Day 36, the Sour Frootz plants are thriving in the mid-to-late flowering stage. Bud development is in full swing—dense, frosty, and increasingly aromatic. Trichomes are now clearly visible across the flowers and sugar leaves, signaling the beginning of the ripening phase. The terpene profile is becoming more pronounced: a pungent, fruity-sour aroma with subtle gassy notes is filling the grow space, pointing to a promising final product. Nutrient Program: This grow is fully organic using Green House Feeding’s Bio Line: • Bio Grow has been applied since the vegetative stage, providing a slow-release base nutrition. • Bio Bloom was introduced after the stretch ended, precisely when the plants shifted focus from vertical growth to flower development. This timing has proven ideal—plants are vibrant, healthy, and showing no signs of deficiencies or excesses. Observations: • Stretch has completely stopped; canopy remains stable and well-managed within the SCROG net • Buds are continuing to swell and frost up • No signs of overfeeding, nutrient burn, or pests • Humidity remains under control to prevent mold or bud rot Looking Ahead: The plants are now entering the ripening phase. The focus going forward will be monitoring trichome development, aroma intensity, and bud density. In roughly two weeks, harvest timing can be assessed based on trichome color and desired effect (e.g., milky vs. amber).

Week 15: We are heading into flower! I noticed the G3000 instructions say for early flower to set the plants to an 18/6 timeframe, bring the light to 12" distance from the canopy, and increase the amount of light to 60%.. I'm in the business of following instructions, so I did this.. and hope I notice some stretching... I will say I noticed some browning on the edge of some leaves... but I also gave the plants two rounds of the Terp Tea and their first round of flower fertilizer on (10/18) so that might be contributing... Will be keeping an eye out for light burn and will be working to stay on top of watering. At least 2 times a week... with just under a gallon of water per feeding per plant.

the center was broken, during LST. I hopee it will survive and continue to grow or will not receive severe stress. otherwise we will have to continue growing without it
