A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. This week i need to change the reservoir again, the plants drink solution just as I add fresh water the EC stays at 2.7 and i need to add PK and Calmag so that's why. The weather outside is very cold this whole week around -18 degree Celsius at night...this made my reservoir water go under 15 degree Celsius. Since i ran the Spider Farmer UV lights i noticed some purples on my cannabis plants i think it's their doing....i run it now for two weeks the UVs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE 7000 is hanged at 28 cm. over the canopy and runs at 520W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture. Thanks to them what i do here is possible. Thank you Seeds Mafia for giving me the opportunity to try out your stock. seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html Plagron did send us their Contest package for the Power Buds competition . Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

Not much has happened, I leave the plants alone. - I put my dehumidifier in the tent this week, it starts as soon as the LF rises above 60%. At the moment it is winter with me and the humidity is very low anyway, saves energy Day 80 🌞💧 - each plant 3 liter Day 83 🌞💧 - at the end of week 4 I provided them with nutrients again. They have become thirstier and now drink 3 liters every 3 days ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 560 Watt - 2x 200 Watt Toplight - 4 x 40 Watt Lightbars PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 24,4° Hum. avg. - 58 % RLH

Day 34: Watered with first dose of flowering nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR). ***I’m gonna break character here for a few mins. If that messes with anyone’s head because you are so deep into the storyline, then you can just pretend this is the director talking. I really wasn’t liking the look of the plant. There was loads of leaves with big very long stems. If it was earlier in the summer I would just put it outside and start another one inside. I don’t have that luxury so I’ll just have to see how it goes. I done some serious defoliation, removing more than 20 leaves. I’m not holding out much hope for a big yield. Day 37: Watered with just PH’d water. Day 39: Watered with Nutrients (1ml B, 1ml SR) ***Character break again. I saw the plant today for the first time in six days. More leaves are after growing big long stems. The few flowers on this plant are topping away nicely. It looks like 3 good bud sites maybe and 2 smaller ones. I have a Rhino Ryder in a 4ltr pot growing next to this Skywalker which looks like it will produce a bigger yield. Either way we have to just see what happens. I’ll hand you back to Luke now for the rest of the grow. Day 40: Continued to use the Force to make the plant grow. This place is really starting to remind me of my time training with Master Yoda on Dagobah. Removed a few leaves with long stems.

💛 Nectar Drip – Week 1 Report “Where Gold Meets Light” ──────────────────────────────────────── 🌱 Week 1 – The First Breath of Life The moment the soil trembles… that’s when the story truly begins. Both seeds from the Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip collaboration have officially broken ground this week — small, fragile, perfect. The first days of life are always humbling. You’re holding a miracle between your fingers, and all you can do is create the best environment possible and let nature write its opening lines. This week was all about environmental finesse, gentle nourishment, and setting the tone for the golden journey ahead. 🌡️ Environment – Cradling the Seedlings Week 1 is the world of high humidity, soft warmth, and minimal stress. We’re keeping things in a range that allows delicate seedlings to hydrate through their leaves while their roots slowly learn their role. Relative Humidity: 80–90% Temperature: ~26°C Water pH: ~6.8 Lighting Intensity: ~300–400 PPFD (gentle, steady, supportive) The seedlings sit inside clear humidity domes, helping maintain those elevated moisture levels and creating that soft condensation you captured so beautifully in your macro shots. That glistening surface — droplets clinging to plastic like morning dew — is part of the magic of early life. Airflow this week stays intentionally minimal. Seedlings don’t need wind — they need peace, warmth, and stability while their roots establish the first bridges of life beneath the surface. Nutrition – Micro-Doses & Gentle Introduction Although seedlings can technically thrive on water alone at this stage, I prefer — as you do — to introduce a micro-touch of nutrition from day one. Not to feed them in force, but to let them taste the mineral world slowly, helping them adapt and avoid any shock once true feeding begins later. This week, your solution sits around: EC/TDS: Extremely low (~0.5–0.6) Base Nutrient: Plagron Terra Grow (micro-dose) Root Support: Plagron Power Roots, at far below bottle recommendation — just a gentle whisper, not even half-strength It’s not about feeding — it’s about familiarizing. A handshake, not a meal. As the seedlings expand, they’ll already be in sync with the mineral base, making future transitions smooth and stress-free. Substrate – Bio LightMix: The Golden Bed The girls are standing directly in Plagron Bio LightMix, a substrate made for this stage. Light, airy, full of life — the kind of soil that embraces roots rather than restraining them. Bio LightMix ensures: Excellent oxygen levels Soft nutrient baseline appropriate for early development A hospitable environment for microbial allies Quick drainage and moisture balance This combination — gentle soil + gentle EC — creates harmony between organic micro-life and mineral precision. 💡 Lighting – Guided by the Hyper Red Glow This week, the seedlings grow under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled through the Future of Grow Nova 2C Pro controller. The spectrum is warm, rich, and deeply supportive of structural development and early root signaling. At 300–400 PPFD, the light gives enough energy for growth without overwhelming the seedlings. Later in the diary, we’ll go into: Dimmer curves Spectrum shifts Controller programming Photoperiod strategy And how each of these plays into maximizing the genetics of the Nectar Drip. For now, we’re focusing on gentle, golden beginnings. 📸 Macro Moments – Art in the First Week This week, you pulled out the Sony A6000 with the full-frame Sony macro lens — and you created art. Droplets shining like liquid diamonds. Delicate cotyledons emerging like newborn wings. Condensation captured like morning mist in a miniature world. Photography here isn’t decoration — it’s documentation of life unfolding at microscopic scale. Your shots of droplets, textures, and tiny structures elevate this diary into a visual story. This is how people feel the grow. 🫧 Condensation – A Sign of Life, Not Neglect In high humidity seedling environments, condensation is a natural companion. It forms on domes, pots, even your lens — evidence of a warm, living biome working exactly as intended. We keep it in check, monitor airflow, and ensure seedlings aren’t sitting in stagnant conditions, but overall: Condensation = Life is happening. ✨ Community & Gratitude – The Golden Circle This journey is carried by the hands and hearts of many. We deeply thank: Zamnesia TICAL Plagron Future of Grow for their trust, innovation, banners, and support in making the Nectar Drip run possible. But the greatest appreciation goes to… you — the community. To the lovers, the haters, the curious, the loyal, the new arrivals, the silent observers, and the loud critics. Everyone is welcome here. Everyone brings something to the table. Critics sharpen us. Supporters fuel us. Together, we create something bigger than a grow: we create culture. Thank you all for believing in DogDoctorOfficial. Thank you for riding this golden wave with us. 🌟 Week 1 Summary – The Golden Start The Nectar Drip is alive. Both seedlings have sprouted. Environment is stable. Nutrition is gentle. Light is perfect. Soil is breathing. Photos are shining. And the story is unfolding exactly as it should. This is the week where dreams sprout. Where gold meets soil. Where potential becomes visible. And we’re only just beginning.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 #Zamnesia #TICAL #NectarDrip #GoldenGrow #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #CannaKan #GrowDiaries #SeedToGold 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Week 3 of Flower (Day 15-21) Should be the last days of stretch. Hopefully, because the height is limited and i do not want to rethink the top of my growtent. Beautiful flower development and i have had no problems in flower so far. I will turn the nutes up a bit, as they have not complained so far. Furthermore, i will lollipop or make a major defoliation when stretch is done, in order to deal with temp and humidity. (airflow) 👽👉24/10 Praying hands, very happy ladies. 👽👉25/10 I am keeping a close eye to the grow, as i have implemented low-energy-consumption solutions, whenever the price of electricity is higest. Meaning the climate is less steady, in some times on the day. 👽👉26/10 I was supposed to water today, however my schedule did not allow. They do not have any drooping leaves yet, they will be fine. 👽👉27/10 Waterday* and cleaning up the dead bottom leaves. Upped my nutes from 1.77 EC to 2.08 EC Bioheaven 2ML/L > 3 BioGrow 2 ML/L > 2.5 BioBloom 1.5ML/L > 2.5 TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L > 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L 👽👉28/10 Upped the nutes quite a bit yesterday, so exiting to see their reaction. Until now they look healthy and responded well. 👽👉29/10 Amazing development. 👽👉30/10 Waterday* Ph 6.2 and they shared 12.5 liter Bioheaven 3ML/L BioGrow 2.5 ML/L BioBloom 2.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

-18.07.2024 The fourth week of the vegetation phase begins today. The plants are showing the first "white hairs", so they are in their pre-flowering phase. A few of the lower leaves have been removed and light LST applied. From this week onwards, 1-2ml Top Max is added to the water in addition with 2-3ml Bio Grow. The lamp is 70cm above the plants and runs at 60%. the measured values with the Photone App: Ppfd = 700 DLi = 50 -19.07.2024 Visual control Soil felt dry, the plants were watered with 500 ml of water each. -20.07.2024 Visual Check Soil still felt moist -21.07.2024 Earth felt dry 3ml BioGrow and 2ml TopMax to 1 liter of water both plants were watered with 500ml water the Skywalker haze worries me a bit when you look how big Mango smile is -22.07.2024 Visual check Surprisingly the Earth felt dry after one day so both plants were watered with 500ml water -23.07.2024 Visual Check Soil still felt moist For the next watering,i will increase the amount of water per plant to 750 ml -24.07.2024 Last day of the vegetation phase / pre-flowering. The plants were watered with 500ml of water per plant. (2ml Bio Grow + 2ml Top Max per 1 liter of water)

Week 10 Ohhhh yehhhh! 👽👍 These runtz are firing with bud sites now! They are all in the flower tent this week with the Spiderfarmer sf4000 and dehumidifier locked in at 50% Few more weeks and these will be stacked. Got a lemony smell on a couple of them and can see some frost coming through too ❄️❄️❄️ Really need to invest in some new pots because the waste nutrient water coming through is too much dry pockets all over I think, used about 20litres on 5plants

Week 5 flower going well. Nothing much to report. Increased the drip as she is taking in more water. Turned up the fans to 100% for maximum flow, and due to that, the tent got a bit warmer and a bit dryer, so the exhaust fan and humidifier are working a bit harder. 75-77 deg F, 50-60% RH. Not sure if the lights are to intense or if it’s purple coming through, but at the highest tops there seems to be a bit of discolouration on the newest growth, just at the tips of the new buds. But I’m looking really close and it may be purple, not brown. I’ll keep an eye on it and turn the lights down if symptoms worsen. This plant is growing strong and uniform. Average frost so far. Hopefully she keeps growing well until the end. Thanks for the views…keep calm and grow on!

Heyo growmies! The smell is so potent, i have only grown 4 strains to this point, but this plant seriously knocks all others out of the park when it comes to smell, this is not a strain you put in your backyard without upsetting some neighbours. following last week's EC observation I have lowered my nutrients down to 1.8 ec, keeping the same amount of green sensation. I'll be monitoring the reservoir in any case, there is currently no sign of nutrient lockouts or deficiencies. the only issue I see one or two colas are starting to show some early signs of light stress, So once again I'm faced with a decision, do i turn down light intensity, making the lower canopy suffer, do i leave it and have a few foxtail buds and burnt fan leaves or, do I hst the colas that are getting too close. That's an issue I would like to be moot in future grows, I want to get good enough at training that I can have a completely even canopy. in the middle of the week, when changing out the reservoir, I noticed some buds are starting to show some colors, nothing impressive, just the tips of calyxes and fan leaves turning purple, still, I love the way her flowers look. she's very slow to finish and I cannot wait to see the end result. I am making good progress on my veg closet, i'll now have space for a mother plant,so my hunt for a strain and pheno i love can begin! I will be starting another diary featuring Zamnesia genetics next time, I want to bulk up my stash so i've germinated 2 Runtz and 1 Wedding Cake Automatic. I will move the Timelapse to that grow, it's more interesting to see small plants grow rather than an old girl bulk up her buds. Stay safe and keep growing✊

Trimmed a lot of fan leaves off the buds to get light to the lower ones . Probably should have done this sooner but I learned a lot . Also started to flush two of the more mature plants that seem to be a couple weeks ahead of the other two.
