•Morning of day 19, ¾ through week 3. Did a light defol on both ladies. I gotta say I'm a big fan of Big Bud by Seedstockers! This girl is going to be exactly what her name is. I know its early with roughly 40 days to go, but I will for sure be growing this girl again. Any suggestions drop me a line. Happy gardening and stay safe Gromies! 🔥🌱🙏🖖✌️😷 •Morning of day 15, start of week 3. °Big bud is 32" in diameter after more LST. And 37"tall (soil to top). Less stretching and more compacting of nodes. Very pleased! She's feeding at full strength and looking like she might want more. Very vigorous growth. °Agent Orange. 30" in diameter after LST. plant did NOT respond well to LST. AND IS 36½" tall (soil to top). Also showed signs of nutrient burn. Will only feed half strength every 3rd watering. Any suggestions drop me a line! Happy Gardening!

🌙 Harvest Report – “The Dark Queen’s Final Bow” Week 13 from seed | Week 9 Flower | 12/12 from seed And just like that… the journey of our White Widow from Zamnesia reaches its crown. A legend reborn, a dark queen grown straight from seed to bloom — no pauses, no compromises, just pure rhythm and instinct. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest – A Quick Recap For those just joining us, this girl began her story under a 12/12 light cycle from seed, or more precisely, 11/13 for our personal shuttle. Instead of growing through a long vegetative phase, she learned to optimize herself from day one — adapting, building strength, and focusing entirely on her single mission: to bloom. This is the essence of the 12/12-from-seed method — the plant is “born” in flowering conditions, believing the season is ending. Nature responds by compressing growth and flowering into one continuous process. It’s a fascinating experiment in plant adaptation — a balance of speed, structure, and survival. And she did it like a champion. Compact. Dense. Frosted beyond belief. She carried herself with grace — a short, shy plant maybe, but full of power, soul, and personality. 🌿 Her Final Numbers & Harvest Process At the end of her journey, she blessed us with 68 grams of dry flowers — and not a gram wasted. Every bud dense, sticky, and shining with resin. The harvest was done whole-plant, to maintain moisture uniformity and slow the dry — two full weeks at 60°F / 60% RH (the classic 60/60 method). When the stems finally made that satisfying click, it was time for the hand trim — using the Trim Bin, of course. From the trim, we collected kief using the traditional Moroccan drum technique, resulting in a beautiful golden gift. Finger hash was dense and fragrant — a sign of her rich trichome layer. After trimming, she was carefully stored in Grove Bags 2.0 — designed to balance internal humidity for a perfect cure. 🕯️ Curing & Smoke Experience After two months of curing, this girl transformed into a true vintage classic. Even after all that time, the buds stayed dense, sticky, and aromatic. The dark green and purple tones deepened, covered in a white, frosty coat. The aroma is nostalgic — earthy spice and pine with that unmistakable 90s energy. On the smoke: pure, clean, and smooth. No chlorophyll harshness, no grassy tones — just a balanced, velvety inhale that brings you straight back to the days of Amsterdam’s golden era. She’s powerful yet relaxing, joyful yet introspective — an old-school soul wrapped in modern perfection. Some of her most special buds are sealed and resting in small Grove Bags, stored cool for special moments. A treasure chest of memories and medicine. 💧 Nutrition Recap Throughout her life, she thrived under a carefully balanced recipe: Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, All-In-One Liquid Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation This combination created harmony between mineral support and organic stimulation, helping her push both flavor and resin production — especially critical under a 12/12 from seed cycle. 💡 Gear & Environment She grew beneath the Future of Grow Black Series 600W LED and the ThinkGrow LED bars, all managed through the Trolmaster ecosystem. The lighting schedule featured Emerson-effect reds — activated 15 minutes before and after the main lights — simulating sunrise and sunset for increased photosynthetic efficiency and resin production. Photos were captured using the loyal Sony a6000, swapping between macro and standard lenses to showcase her dark beauty, frosty density, and every glimmering detail. 🌸 Final Reflection This grow was a test, yes — but it became a lesson in evolution. A seed born into 12/12 doesn’t complain or wait; she adapts. She listens to nature’s rhythm, grows fast, focuses hard, and gives everything she has. The yield was modest, but the quality — beyond words. And the message clear: sometimes less time means more intent, more purity, more heart. 🌍 Gratitude & Good Vibes To Zamnesia, for carrying the legend and keeping the 90s alive. To Aptus and Plagron, for fueling life with balance and flavor. To Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Trolmaster, for lighting the path. And to the GrowDiaries community, to the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new followers — thank you all for being part of this. You can see her full journey in motion — from seed to Dark Queen — in glorious 4K on YouTube. Because some stories deserve to be seen as much as they’re told. 💬 Closing Thought “Every seed carries a story — but only the light reveals its language.” Until the next run, my dear friends — the next genetics, the next rhythm, the next evolution. 🌿💚 🧠 P.S. – The Importance of Drying & Curing Drying and curing are often underestimated — yet they are as vital as the entire growth process. You can grow the most beautiful plant in the world, but if she’s rushed at this stage, all the aroma, flavor, and smoothness can vanish in days. 🌬️ Drying The goal of drying is not just to remove moisture — it’s to allow the plant’s internal chemistry to finish its work. When you dry slow and steady at 60°F / 60% RH, you give enzymes and bacteria time to break down leftover chlorophyll and sugars that cause harshness. This is why the “60/60 rule” is so cherished: it keeps terpenes alive and smooths out the smoke. You’ll know she’s ready when stems make that soft, crisp snap instead of bending. 🍯 Curing Curing begins where drying ends — in sealed containers or Grove Bags, ideally stored around 60% humidity. During these weeks (or months, if you have patience), moisture equalizes throughout the buds, creating a perfectly even texture. Inside, slow oxidation and continued enzymatic activity refine the flavor profile — turning raw plant aroma into deep, complex notes. The reward? A smoother inhale, richer aroma, cleaner burn, and overall more mature experience. It’s not just drying; it’s aging your craft — much like wine or cheese. 💚 Patience transforms product into passion. Two weeks of drying and at least a month (or two!) of curing will elevate any harvest from good to unforgettable. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

I have one more fan that will be delivered tomorrow and I needed one more Carbon filter and inline fan and that will be here tomorrow as well. As soon as they get in I will go ahead and check one more time on the Trichomes of her grow sister and as long as she is where I want her to be. My Dry tent temp will be 70 and my RH will be 55. Timber...... I added 36 gallons and the accompanying Nutes I added the following Nutes: CalMag= .50Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 2.3Mil/Gal= 83Mil FloraGro= 1.3Mil/Gal= 47Mil FLoraBloom= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil SIGNAL= 3.0Mil/Gal = 2.0Mil Liquid KoolBloom= 2.5mil/Gal = 90Mil EPSOM- 1 Big pinch 4/28/2024 Flower Week 10 Day 2- Did a Trichome check just to see where she is.. I think still about a week or 2 out.. will just keep looking every couple of days and see where we are. I love being able to grow. 4/29/2024 Flower Week 10 Day 3- Didn't do anything today but just get a few photos... 4/30/2024 Flower Week 10 Day 4- Didn't do anything today.. 5/01/2024 Flower Week 10 Day 5- Didn't do anything today but get a few pics.. 5/02/2024 Flower Week 10 Day 6- took Her grow sister down today..

I thought my seed was done for after the casing fell off, but I observed and noticed the leafs came out first then the root. Was told when this happens its fine, just place immediately into growing choice for next stage. I love plants, I'm enjoying the process already.

Just another week of vegging and feeding, waiting to make sure the last remaining plant I have is female. I think the male parts would have shown already if it was male, but you never really know until flip time. I’m planning on up-planting the remaining plant I have to a 7 gallon fabric pot and flipping it to 12-12 because I don’t have tent space for a massive beast of a photoperiod. Excited to see if this one is female (which I really think it is fingers crossed!).

HARVEST TIME AT DAY 55 - 06/08/21 I wanted to get these ladies cut before we go through a heat spell. they were all ready but the gelato could have used a few extra days to make some more amber trikes... oh well cut them all and hung them at 72F @ 55%RH - hopefully I can keep the temps from fluctuating too much! I did a bit of trimming before the 48 hour dark period but none today see y'all in a week or so... if i can keep the temps good then it should be more like 10 days... we'll see! THCdaddy

Plants loved their new home from last week.....the crown of one plant got broken off while I was deal with something else....so instead of trying to fix it or throw it out I decided to put it into a pot.....to my surprise 5 mins after doing that I realize it started to straighten up from the training of the tree it broke from....thinking it would be like that for a while until it pushes root.....woke up to find it fully straight and buds got fatter......hope it is a success would be first clone...#happy growing

I think Iv burnt one of the Santa Marta’s, can anyone confirm this from the videos/photos ? Other then that all is well. I actually just flipped to 12/12 to start flowering the photoperiods that are surrounding the 4 autos. Might try a scrog net for the fist time when the autos are done. Stay high growmies 🤙🐞

This lady is incredible! Just going to town, starting her fade.... I've switched from the KoolBloom liquid to the dry formula now for her last weeks... and the EC is being brought down. Think I may have two more weeks with her? Certainly not more than 3... REALLY excited about this grow!
