Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Bis jetzt läuft alles nach Plan

The time has come! Flowering has been initiated and is off to a good start, The Photoperiod is now running at 11/13 on/off and the intensity of the light has been bumped up to 60% giving me a DLI of aorund 37.5 at 30" hang height in my 2x4. As the plants where topped a bunch I have found in previous grows the stretch will not be as crazy as if I left them on their own, however the increased pot size may negate that effect, only time will tell :D I also gave them a 2nd watering as the last one was leaving the pots a bit to light. This could be their new normal 1gal one week, 2 gal the next separated by a few days. They have all been amended with a 50/50 mix of grow and bloom from Gaia, Also added in some extra Insect Frass, Yeast and Bokashi grains, mixed this all with worm castings and compost for the top dress. added the compost after mixing it into the top layer so it gives it a bit of a blanket. made a little video of it and me watering the plants on a speed run. One thing I need to find is a sprayer head that has a 70-90 degree bend on it. I'm tired of watering from overhead as my wand is straight and does not have a bend. Its made of hard plastic and was thinking I would toss the tip in the oven to soften it up and place a coat hanger though it, then bend it ever so slightly and wait for it to cool, can snip off the wire and pull it out once its all done and have a bent tip. or I can get a 2nd wand attachment for it. Just been so busy have not had time to search for it, the peppers are doing much better as well, after the defoliation from last week they where getting a bit more light but that is all gone now, the plants have taken it back. and they are in shade, the plants seem to like it more. only the one strain likes the intense light of the led's, Fatalii peppers, It might be the hottest ones I'm growing if the goronong don't measure up. The JigSaw peppers are also starting to show some of their variegation in the leaves that make them pretty to grow now they are in the shade more. and its bound to be better then pure purple leaves from the LED"s Butterwort is eating all the gnats as well. so no problem there. Will apply the nematodes later next week to kill em off in the medium. Don't want them getting trapped in the flowers. stupid little fuckers. I left out some of the extras in the water this week as it was its first topdressing, didn't want to stress it out to much, I will be topdressing every week and diving the total ammount of amendments in 4 parts. vs one big feeding at beginning of the month like its been suggested on the label, I find this helps avoid the N burn I normally see and gives them a bit better of a breakdown for flowering period. It worked really well with my G13 Labs Blue Cindy grow so I am repeating the process and will likely make this my new standard. I will also be adding in some Mg into every other water till stretch is done same with a very light feeding of molasses, I know it has been negative in past grows but going to try it out again with much smaller amounts. 1tea/pot, the extra sugars should work wonders on the Bokashi added into the soil and allow it to thrive. Plants are starting to get more of a funk to them as well, So i feel that's what was happening with the gifted plant to my parents smelling up the place, it was just entering flowering as it was not in a tent n the lighting must have been to low. And the little cuttings I did last week are fine, no roots but will soon have a bunch of little clones to go. Just in time for spring. I think that's it. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

🌸 WEEK 5 FLOWER – “Aiming for the Moon” Hello, beautiful people! It’s been a busy stretch, but I’m finally back with another exciting update from our Permanent Marker girls — and wow, what a sight they are right now. Both phenos are truly stunning in their own unique ways. • Pheno #1 is aiming for the moon — nearly 2 meters tall, stretching with grace, and starting to show her first flashes of color. The top buds are swelling, pistils glowing bright white, and the early hues are giving us a glimpse of what’s to come. • Pheno #2 stays more compact around 120 cm, with equally gorgeous bud formation — dense, balanced, and full of life. We did a light defoliation this week to open the canopy, helping airflow and light penetration reach deeper into the structure. The goal is simple: give the photons space to dance and the air room to breathe. The results are already visible — the girls look happier, more open, and vibrant. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Conditions are stable now that the AC is up and running (finally!). Temperatures have dropped to a comfortable range, and both phenos seem to love it. We continue with our Aptus Holland organic program, using: • Regulator • Top Booster • CalMag Boost The pellets in the soil are still doing their silent magic, slowly releasing nutrients and keeping the system balanced. 💫 Bud Development This week, trichomes are starting to form more visibly, and the white hairs are shining under the lights. The buds are stacking up beautifully, especially on Pheno #1 — her size and structure promise something truly special. The aroma is beginning to intensify, that sweet, deep tone of the Permanent Marker genetics revealing itself layer by layer. 🌍 A Quick Recap From germination in the CannaKan, through the lush veg powered by Aptus nutrition, under the ThinkGrow and Future of Grow LEDs, this grow has been a journey of precision, patience, and passion. Now, at week 5 flower, we’re officially entering the heavy bloom phase — where the artistry of the genetics truly begins to express itself. 🏆 Dognabis Cup Update The Dognabis Cup is officially in full bloom too! The welcome boxes have reached growers worldwide, and we’re seeing the first unboxings and diaries popping up — what a beautiful sight! To all participants: good luck and have fun! Remember, the more detailed and complete your diary, the better your chances of winning. This Cup is about sharing, learning, and growing together — and I’m so proud to see it finally taking shape. 🌱 What’s Next Next week, we’ll be looking for more color expression, denser stacking, and the early glisten of trichome frost. I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the temperature balance as the buds pack on size. Huge thanks to everyone who follows this journey — the sponsors, the community, the growers, the dreamers, the haters, the lovers — every one of you makes this space alive. Until next week, stay lifted and stay curious. 🌿✨ To grow is to share, to bloom is to connect — and through every cup, seed, and story, we keep the garden alive. **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone **The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

The final week of nutrients before the flush 😎😎

a week after the 100mm storm and just some spitting since then. To get good buds this plant needs regular water, so I hope mother nature starts giving us some more regular rain here.

Hi everyone I'm not very happy I top them very late I should done it 2 days ago or yesterday coz I been very poorly couldn't even get out off bed but I topped all lady today (day16)from 6th node and 1 from 4th node(by accident) I cut the wrong stem then I have to cut rest so hope it doesn't effect yield Day 21 they are so bushy already 1plant day21 start preflowering I feed them 1ml silica 2ml biogrow 2ml heaven 2ml activera 1ml alg amic With 1L ph water each Plant every day Following week will reduce grow and add some bloom and top max (Recommended silica liquid for everyone)

Aquí las fotos de esta nueva semana de vegetación para ambas plantas, cumpliendo así la white widow 23 dias de plantada y la zinfandel 16. La fotos corresponden al 21, 24 y 27 de abril. Por ahora no hay nada más que agregar. Ya que esta semana solo agregué algo de sustrato en ambas y el riego fue de agua reposada con una bomba dando oxígeno por 24hr y un ph de 6,1 a 6,5. Lo que no sé es si realizar alguna tipo de poda más adelante o si mejor las dejo crecer como son, ya que no sé mucho. Existe el temor de dañarlas o estresarlas demasiado. Lo pensaré, también recibo cualquier consejo u observación con ellas!

A good week here in the tent. The girls continue to grow and progress. Getting a small amount of water daily. Looking for more progression then I'll transplant the best looking ones.

I plan to scrog her again so trying to tie down and get many tops. Girls are growing vigorously but not too fast, thanks to my crappy light set up

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦💦 Fading and fattening up, she's looking very frosty and smelling as beaut as ever. I like to pluck a few of her biggest, greenest leaves throughout flush as it'll speed up her fade and flush her quicker by taking away stored nutrients. Looking forward to watching her fade! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Week 15 - unstoppable growth! My measuring stick is at its end. It only reaches 180cm and we are above that. It's getting hard to reach and prune the top but I'm not giving up. Temp is stable, humidity at a nice level, lots of sunshine. This summer is really something. But we had a huge storm. Nothing a little tape cant fix. One of the early branches broke off, but my net caught it and with a little tape it's as good as new

D85/F41 - 24/06/23 - She's almost ready, I think I'll start the flush soon D86/F42 - 25/06/23 - Temp is still too high, I'm trying to refresh the environment with air conditioning D87/F43 - 26/06/23 - First Thricomes Video. I'm going to start the flush today and I'll arwest next WE D88/F44 - 27/06/23 - Flushing D89/F45 - 28/06/23 - Flushing D90/F46 - 29/06/23 - Flushing D91/F47 - 30/06/23 - She's ready. Tomorrow I'll cut her

A month in and they have about 3-4 nodes.

Every thing is looking great. I didn’t get rid of all the nats but I got most I’ve been bottom watering and been replacing the sticky pad every couple days and it’s been working well. Thank god my wife talked me into these pots at the dollar tree. I can’t wait to see what’s next
