🌸 Week 4 Flower — Permanent Marker 🌸
Here we are, my dear friends, entering the 4th week of flower and things are getting really exciting. The two phenos are now starting to show their true personalities:
• Pheno #1 — our sky-reacher, standing proudly at 2 meters tall! She’s stretching hard, aiming for the moon, and has forced me to pull the lights all the way up. Fingers crossed she slows down here, but what a presence she has in the room.
• Pheno #2 — the compact sister, sitting around 120 cm tall, balanced, and just as beautiful. Both are similar in structure and leaf formation, but their size difference makes this grow even more fascinating.
Despite the heat challenges earlier, the girls are holding strong. With the AC unit now installed, conditions are finally more under control, and I’m hopeful it will make all the difference going forward.
✨ This Week’s Focus ✨
• Height management: Lights are maxed out, now it’s all about keeping balance and preventing stress.
• Environment: Temps are more stable with the AC, giving the plants the comfort they need to keep stacking.
• Observation: These differences between phenos are a reminder of how unique each expression can be, even within the same strain.
🌱 Nutrition
Still running with the Aptus organic program: regulator, top booster, calmag when needed. The base super soil and pellets are carrying the weight beautifully. Leaves are lush, flowers forming, and energy is focused upward.
🔎 A Note on Pheno Hunting
One of the most exciting parts of growing from seed is watching the phenotypes express themselves. Even seeds from the same pack can show different growth patterns, some stretch tall like Pheno #1, others stay compact like Pheno #2. Neither is “better” or “worse”, they simply carry different traits from their genetic background. This diversity is what makes pheno hunting so magical: it gives growers the chance to select the expression that best suits their style, space, and taste.
🐝 The Dognabis Cup is ON! 🐝
This week also marks a special moment, the Dognabis Cup is officially underway! 🎉
Welcoming packs have started arriving at growers’ doors, unboxing photos and videos are already popping up, and the first diaries are live. It’s a joy to see the community coming together.
💌 Invitation
I invite everyone to check out the new Cup diaries, cheer for each other, share experiences, and most of all, have fun. Remember, the more complete and detailed the diaries are, the better your chances to win. And with both autos and photoperiods in the packs, everyone has two chances to shine.
