Again, such an amazing experience!!!!! I love this smoke for night, it's definitely helped my insomnia! The taste is out of this world! I pick up more Mazar than the blueberry or thai.

Adding this cal mag ish stuff seems to an instant difference. Plants filling out, less yellowing. The 3rd plant went from smallest to biggest and is now flowering. Still looks different than the others, this group helped me determine this plant may be more like the mother plant. She is so strong, can’t wait for her to mature.

Planted germinated seed on 6/6. The girl on the right came out first, followed by middle, then left by mid-week. By end of week, each stood about 3". Sporadic light watering throughout the week with a dropper at the base of the sprout, spritzed the soil surface and inside of humidity domes which were placed over pots periodically. Only the two 150w COBs are switched on, the 100w QB is off to protect the babies.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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 💚 📸 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 A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Aloha Freunde der Sonne 😊 Heute wurde das letzte Mal so richtig entlaubt. Nicht ganz Lollipop aber für mich reicht das vorerst. Ich muss klar sagen das ich noch nie so einen schönen Geruch in der Nase hatte. Ich freue mich auf die Ernte. Viel Spaß 🙏

Chopped on day 57 from from first pistils. Could’ve let them go another week but I have some commitments coming up and I need to dry and jar these flowers before I head out of town for 2 weeks. Will post the harvest report as soon as they’re finished drying. Stay tuned.

Day 44 - Put em in flower/bloom... 12/12... they are drinking alot..... Day 47 - Decided to thin them out and defoliate ........ pics/vids....... (video are big files, need to pause, let em buffer) Day 48 - Posted a pic, day after defoliation. Day 50 - more pics, recovered from defoliation, and some pics of the beginnings of the flowering....... something interesting in the day 50 pics , is the color of the light spectrum...... it looks like a yellowy sunlight spectrum..... home made DIY LED..... 😎 Globe setup is working better, 10x click- 9w - 2700k - 8000 Lm 2x osram- 10.5w - 6400k - 2160 Lm Lightpanel- 70w (600w) - 20x blue 6400k (2000Lm) - 38x red 2700k (4000 Lm)

One of the best plants I've grown so far. Trichomes are crazy Day 4 - most probably last sugar/pk feed before beginning flushing. Major defoliation to expose buds

Esta variedad suele ser poco productivas pero una pasada para fumar o hacer cualquier tipo de extracción. La Blue Gelato 41 todo fue para ice y la verdad que un sabor increible! Una buena genética farmers!🍁

Buds are swelling up like crazy. Smell is starting to get very strong. Blueberry, CBD Big Bud Skunk and Do SI Do's are well into flower. The buds are enormous!! I've noticed a few are nitrogen hungry. I've been supplimenting and they seem to be happy. All in all very happy with the progress and how smooth things are going.... so far. Until next week happy growing everyone.

12/1 - GZ 1 has pretty much decimated its fan leaves. This seems to be a bit early in my opinion. The buds are nice but not as full as I'd like. She's still got swelling to do but I can't see her going longer than another 2 weeks. I think I may have went too light on feed around week 3 or 4 because thats when the symptoms started. Either way I'm officially labeling this plant as "stunted by user error" GZ 2 is starting to head down the same path a week or 2 after her sister. Buds are looking small but frosty. It think she may be a little better off in the long run but we'll see. Orange hairs started coming in droves for both around week 4. The buds are picturesque but they still have a lot of fattening to do. Moby Dick's leaves have started to fade noticeably to light green just in the past week. I consider this optimal at day 40. I'm curious what the next few weeks will hold for her because her buds are already looking nice and full. Definitely going to be the last to finish and looking like it's going to be worth every second.

Day 1: I got two of these Sweet Gelato seeds free from @Zamnesia. I’m only planting one at the moment . I’m really excited about growing it. I’ve really loved any Gelato I have tasted. I have my substrate prepared and my veg space is ready to go. I have put the seed in Ph’d water for 24hrs first and I will add to the soil tomorrow night. I’ll wet the soil down tomorrow morning with Ph’d water and I’ll put it the veg space with the lights on to warm up the soil before adding the seed. Day 2: Seed has been moved into the substrate and pot is now in Veg Space under 40watt CFL bulbs but once the seed germinates I will switch on the 200watt CFL. This is my least favourite part of growing, the wait for the seedlings 🌱 to break through the soil. I’ve planted the seed to one side of the pot as I find this makes LST easier. The plant will be spending it’s first 2 to 3 weeks in this veg space while I wait for my Purple Punch to finish in my main grow space. 72hrs Later: Houston we have lift off 🚀 The seed first started to peed through the soil after only 48hrs. That’s the fasted I’ve ever seen, hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. Leaves still haven’t opened but it’s fully above ground now.

Day 30 Flower and It looks like my humidity problem is coming to an end 😅 the second unit outside the tent is finally showing some results, I’ve also change my air circulation , i fixed al off them in a way that it creates a wind vortex, i think this is helping with the humidity also. I will post a litle video showing my air set up 😇 As for the rest all is going as normal, today mb tomorrow’s day for new defoliation, apart from that just giving them all my love and care ❤️ Day 31 F defoliation day Day 33 and still in love with my girls 5x White Mango WM 5x Alasken Purple AP 4x Blueberry BB 3x SAD S1 2x Badazz Cookies BC 19 in total for a 4x8x6 - 1,2x2,4x2 Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro 2x at 100% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy and do it for the love Peace ✌️ D
