🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 6 Report Early–Mid Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Timing clarification (as always): This is logged as Week 6 on GrowDiaries, while in real plant development we are closer to Week 5 of vegetative growth. The offset comes from an early, photo-heavy germination phase. We’ll continue clarifying this weekly for consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Divergence & Character This week, the Nectar Drip really began to separate into personalities. Same genetics, same room, same feeding — but very different expressions depending on training intensity and structure guidance. We’re now clearly working with multiple plant strategies inside the same tent. ⸻ ✂️ Training Breakdown – Plant by Plant 🌿 Plant A – Leaf Work & Gentle Guidance This plant is trained using leaf bending and leaf tucking only. • Large fan leaves are tucked under neighboring leaves • Growth tips are exposed naturally • No clamps or hard bending Response: Absolutely thriving. She’s growing tall, wide, and fast, now reaching roughly 8–9 nodes, with beautiful branching and strong vertical momentum. This is a great example of how far simple leaf management can take a healthy plant. ⸻ 🌿 Plant B – Aggressive Opening with Plastic Clamps This plant started similarly to Plant A, but quickly outpaced the rest in size. This week, we: • Introduced plastic clamps • Opened her aggressively • Focused on redistributing energy from top dominance to lower branches Response: Outstanding. She accepted the harder intervention without stress, opened up beautifully, and continues to push growth across the canopy. Her size advantage is now being converted into structure, not just height. ⸻ 🌿 Plant C – The Heavy LST Experiment This is the plant we’ve been focusing on since last week — the smallest of the group, but the one receiving the most intensive training. • Strong horizontal bending • Continuous opening of leaves • Structural redirection from early on Response: She’s thickening, branching, and responding incredibly well. While she is still behind in height (which is expected), she’s building a dense, intentional structure. This plant is also the most delayed in showing pre-flower signs, which is completely normal under 12/12 from seed when subjected to stronger training. She may never be the tallest — but she is quickly becoming one of the most interesting. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals Some plants are now showing early pre-flower signs. Nothing dramatic yet, but the transition is clearly approaching. As expected: • The most heavily trained plant is the most delayed • The more upright plants are moving faster This confirms that structure and stress management play a significant role in timing under a 12/12-from-seed regimen. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Weather-Driven Adjustments This week brought real-world challenges. Outside conditions: • ~5 °C • 92% relative humidity Inside the tent: • Temperature: ~21.8 °C • Relative Humidity: ~58% Despite cooler and more humid ambient conditions, the plants are showing no complaints whatsoever. This range is manageable, and the canopy looks relaxed and happy. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Letting Plants Decide We are now running approximately 700–850 PPFD, depending on plant height and canopy position. Smaller plants receive less, taller ones naturally receive more. This is intentional. The plants are: • growing into the light • dictating their own intensity • transitioning naturally toward flowering I’m not pushing — I’m responding. This run is about listening, especially under 12/12 from seed. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow – Vortex Method Airflow is dialed in using a vortex-style circulation: • Fresh air enters from below • Warm air exits higher up • Side fans encourage circular movement • Central fans gently disrupt stagnation without collapsing the vortex This creates: • even temperature distribution • stable humidity • strong gas exchange • minimal microclimates Air is moving around the plants, not blasting them — exactly what we want at this stage. ⸻ Nutrition – Adjustment for Water Quality & LEDs 💧 Water Source We are now using a mix of: • rainwater • dehumidifier-collected water Starting EC is extremely low (~0.2), so supplementation became necessary. CalMag Introduction We introduced Plagron CalMag Pro at 1 ml/L as a preventive measure, especially important under high-intensity LED lighting, where calcium and magnesium demand increases. Current Hand-Watering Parameters (Nectar Drip Plants) • EC: ~2.29 • pH: ~6.0 • Water Temperature: ~22.8 °C 🚰 Reservoir / Autopot Clarification The tent contains six plants total, not all Nectar Drip. • Autopot reservoir currently runs Terra Grow + CalMag only • Organic inputs are excluded from the reservoir (not compatible) • Reservoir EC: ~1.43 • Reservoir pH: ~5.9 Autopot plants are occasionally top-fed by hand to receive the full recipe. For future runs, the feeding strategy will be simplified and better aligned with autopot systems. ⸻ Special Guest – Mr. Baggy Joins the Team This week we were joined by Mr. Baggy, a fluffy inspector and proud GrowDiaries “Diary of the Month” prize winner. He’ll be making more appearances from now on — every good grow needs an official supervisor. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • more pronounced pre-flower expression • increasing structural differences • trained plants staying shorter and wider • untrained plants stretching sooner Don’t Expect: • uniform behavior • identical flowering times • forced transitions This run is about letting plants speak. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow • Lumiflora And to the entire GrowDiaries community — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience, philosophy, lessons, and mistakes. The goal is learning — together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 6 Summary • Training is defining structure • Plants are choosing their own rhythm • Light intensity is earned, not forced • Environment is stable despite harsh outside conditions • The 12/12-from-seed experiment continues to teach A lot of files. A lot of data. A lot of learning. And we’re just getting started. Growers love always 💚 Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

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.

Día 48. El frío ha afectado bastante el crecimiento. Pero aún así va a salir algo interesante. Creo que la mala genética puede tener mucho que ver. Por el momento falta poco para que los cogollos se terminen de cerrar. Calculo que en una semana cuando se cierran ya paso a usar el overdrive. Entre tanto, ya está abriendo la semilla para la próxima madre. Calculo que en 3 días ya va a estar para poner en el sistema hidropónico. Seguiré viendo que sucede.

Hey everyone 🤗. This week was harvested properly 😍. All of them are harvested, except for the two Tropicanna Banana (they will be on tomorrow). All finished crop images follow little by little as soon as they have dried enough and have got their actual bud structure 😃. I wish you much fun with the diary, stay healthy Ges and let it grow 🌱

Seedsman 420 grow off! I was sent a pack of blueberry pie f1 fast seeds and I am germinating 1 seed to fill my tent. I already have 3 gorilla gas seeds going and I wanted to do grow another blueberry strain so I'm really excite for this one too. This tent is gonna be filled out with some really nice flower in the near future.

pretty bummed out the other 2 plants that are flowering in the same tent as these mixed autos both might have hermed on me so i had to chop them early. the 2 mixed autos are looking a little droopy / sad so i really hope they didn't get pollinated. we went on a trip to colorado this week and i didnt have anyone to watch the plants or water them but i figured they would be fine being as we were only gone 3.5 days. well when i got back they looked fine and i only had enough water for the mixed pack plants. i waited until morning for the banana pp and regular purple punch and then they both started feeling almost crunchy on top so i did some investigating and i found a few nanners . i chopped right away and am praying for the best. one of these has some copperish hue to the tips on the newer growth? im not sure what that means im seeing maybe too much iron? i really need to calibrate my ph pen so i can pay more attention to it. i have been getting disttilled water jugs so its usually at 7 and im assuming the nutrients bring it down some but i rarely check because i never trust if the pen is on or not lol. thinking about going organic to avoid dealing with ph at all.

Che dire! È una vera bestia! Ha solo 31 giorni e le radici hanno oltrepassato il vaso in tela! Ottimi nutrimenti,ottima qualità di semi, veramente una genetica dalla struttura robusta e forte! Ho fatto topping 3 volte di fila e ha reagito benissimo ho lasciato che crescesse un po' e oggi ho fatto un lollipoping forse un po' estremo ma ricordatevi che deve ancora entrare in fioritura!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼Al prossimo aggiornamento ragazzi

Day 9 I had no choice but to defoliate, the canopy was getting way to dense and humidity was hard to control even with my 30 pin dehumidifier. Hopefully will not affect to much. Probably I will do another defoliation on day 21. TDS stays at 550PPM this week and CO2 at 1200PPM.

5. Woche Sie hat sich gut vom letzten Topping erholt, ich werde sie diese Woche noch ein bisschen zurecht Formen, wie ich sie haben will 😊

Introduction - Week 09 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 100906.68, Overall a pretty good grow week! Started the week off by increasing the light's intensity. Also raised it up a bit. Most of the week was basic growth checkups and humidifier refilling. Mid week, increased the light's intensity a bit more. Also did a top soil drench of organic fertilizer along with a simple defoliation. Towards the end of the week, decided to give both girls a large bottom watering. Also did a mini defoliation again. Now that both reservoirs are full with about 2 gallons, shouldn't need to water for a while. Next week will be the big 12/12 flip! Steady as she grows Ensign.

Time to give this a go! --- Going to give each EarthBox a full 2 gallons of distilled water. --- Going to also add some probiotics and beneficial anaerobic microbes. --- Don't frack this up Ensign. --- Okay! Starting with EB2, - [22:15]: Poured 2 cups out of one of the gallons into a measuring cup. --- Added 60mL (2oz) of Yah-Whey. --- Mixed and poured the solution straight into the fill tube. --- Then poured the rest of the gallon along with another full gallon of distilled water into the fill tube. - [22:27]: Repeated the exact same process with EB1. --- Poured 2 gallons of distilled water along with 60mL of Yah-Whey into the reservoir. --- Great!
