15/01/22: Everything is looking good and as it should - the plants are really showing their sativa genes super tall for the 10liter pots. the largest is 43 inches high with the rest of them an average of 36 inches high. Defoliated a few days ago with the lower fan leaves to promote concentration on the buds. the sites are very bright green and showing good signs of pistils developing.

🌙 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.

Day 88, 30th of October 2020: I am just back from my holiday my friend looked after her really nice the 4th week already and buds are coming nicely along.... Great to see this beautiful lady very stinky by the way.... Smell is strong...🤪 She is very nice.... ;) I removed some leaves getting pointless to be as she focuses more on the buds.... Those leaves were removed from the top mostly.... Now she gets one day extra darkness and but previously she had more dark hours than 12 hours because she was removed in the morning and back in the evening because she is in the tent with other plants and they are in veg now....🤪🤣🤣 I just started changing the schedule for those as well so from tomorrow no need to remove her and putting back.... ;)

Shes big Shes beautiful Shes a beast! Shes my winner. The last plant standing of this run and she is getting flushed with ro water. I have taken late flower clones of this girl because it would be inhumane to let her die. I will reveg them if they root and dose one with silver to make a lot of beans. Beaming her with 720 watts of light her last week of life just because I can. Ps. If she dont win diary of the month then its rigged🤣🤣

Bought the seeds few months ago. From Europe. Take 5 hour to reidratate. Once drowned moved in the pallet. So happy to start growing again! At the 5th day grow 3cm up. Amazing

Le 70e jour s'est écoulé tranquillement. J'espérais pouvoir récolter cette semaine, mais mon projet n'est pas encore prêt. J'ai l'impression que ma plante stagne, elle ne semble pas mûrir comme je l'espérais. Je vais donc lui accorder encore une semaine pour voir si les trichomes se développent davantage. Remarque : ces deux dernières semaines, il y a eu peu d'évolution. J'ai utilisé les nutriments Final part et Bloom à 100%.

This week the girls have been going nuts! These are the largest strawberry bananas I have grown yet! I'm super excited to see what happens after taking these photos I cut one leaf off each plant. My first second time running this strain I did LST and my yield was much lower and it stunted her. So she seems to like to stretch. Check back next week to see just how fast these ladies grow! & remember is 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!

The Titan is now blooming and slowed down on the vertical growth. She looks strong and healthy. The greenhouse is really hot these days, so I moved the plants a bit closer to the door where there is more wind. The smell is really nice, flower and citrus.

120x240 1200watt Very strong and hardy plants, the potential of which remains a mystery to me. The automatic watering system will help me find out their maximum. Stress and training are tolerated very well, the genetics are very stable and interesting.
