Things are now advancing smoothly, having effectively weathered the majority of the challenges encountered. It's a truly uplifting experience to watch the process unfold, seeing how the plants are developing and thriving. Each day brings new progress, and I am continually enthusiastic about maximizing the sunlight that each plant receives as they continue on their growth journey. In addition to the hands-on cultivation aspect, I'm also diligently working on expanding my clones collection. The plan for the next week or so is to cultivate and ready these clones for transplantation. It's an exciting aspect of the process that helps me stay committed to my ultimate goal. That goal, of course, is to maximize my supply chain and provide high-quality cannabis. This involves more than just horticultural efforts. I am also persistently studying and researching the relevant laws to familiarize myself with the legal process. Navigating the licensing phase is a vital part of this journey, and I am committed to understanding and adhering to all legal requirements to ensure success in this venture. Diary Entry for Growth Project: Day 24 - Today, a slower-growing plant was effectively moved from its soil environment into an idle hydroponic system. With this transition, the count of prospering plants stands at eight, with a couple more still being monitored due to uncertain growth. Significant discoveries include the paramount importance of light distance to the plants, which was underestimated initially. Further, it has been found that genetically modified seeds hold no superiority over the prevalent autoflower seed market. Additionally, the positioning of the plant and the volume of medium placed between the plants and the water source have been recognized as key determinants in accelerating early stage growth. Welcome to the Day 25 update of our grow journal. I must apologize for the slight confusion - although the video says it’s day 23, today indeed marks the 25th day of our journey. I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve had a successful transplant. The plants are now settling nicely into their new environments. The question now at hand is, should we introduce stress training? As we move into days 26 and 27, I have been pondering on this. High-stress training can sometimes stimulate growth, but in our current situation, it might not be the most prudent course of action. This time around, we are expecting all our plants in the grow tent to blossom concurrently. In light of this, I’m leaning towards letting nature take its course rather than intervening with stress training. By doing so, we will allow our plants to focus their energy solely on flowering. The goal here is to encourage the production of dense and frosty buds, the hallmark of a successful growth cycle. Rest assured, we’ll continue to provide the plants with the care and nutrients they need. Remember, every cycle is a learning experience, and we’re on this botanical journey together. Keep checking back for more updates on our garden’s progress.

The plant was easy to grow overall .. it grew fast and a little on the tall side which had me nervous but I was able to raise the lights up just enough to finish, so it all worked out in the end. buds came out hard and frosty no complaints . This was a freebie seed too! didn’t expect it to come out as fire as it did man was i wrong. Straight fire 🔥 Ran into root rot in the beginning of veg but the great white and hydroguard saved my ass.🙏

Pollination is well underway. The ladies are prego and the seeds are developing very rapidly! A few of the first flowers to get hit have there flower bracts already torn open. Exposing the growing seeds(still very green and immature). They are coating there flowers with protective trichomes like crazy! Sucess. All three ladies I have in there are heavily seeded! Now I'm watching them work their magic. Producing me some new killer crosses to phenohunt. The male flowers have been dried and stored. I'm slowly sifting the pollen into a vile. Whenever I get a chance to play with pollen lmfao. I've only made a dent in my freezer bag supply. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Day 29 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Starting a new week with some exciting plans! 🌿 We've got about one more week before we transition the plants to the flowering phase. Just to recap last week's updates for those following along: We’ve named all the plants in both grows. This makes it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post. We've built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants. A SCROG net helps train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it to ensure all plants get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy. We’ve placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. We're considering whether we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or if a dehumidifier would be a better option. We're leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch both grows progress and prepare for the flowering phase!" Day 33 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Exciting news for our second grow: we’ve added a new member to the grow tent – a praying mantis! 🦗 Her species is Timor shield mantis, and she still needs a name. We got her to help with pest control naturally. Praying mantises are excellent predators and can help keep unwanted insects away from our plants. Feel free to suggest a name for her! Any tips or fun facts about keeping a mantis in the grow tent are also welcome!" Day 34 (Second Grow): "Hey everyone! Big update today: we’ve switched the timer to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate the flowering phase! 🌸 Our second batch of plants, just like the first, has developed well and we believe they’re ready to start blooming. This change should encourage them to shift their energy towards producing buds. For those following along, here’s a quick recap: We've implemented a SCROG net to manage the canopy and ensure even light distribution. We've introduced a Timor shield mantis for natural pest control. The plants have responded well to all adjustments and are looking healthy. Now that the flowering phase is starting, we’re excited to see how they develop over the next few weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this phase? Let us know in the comments!"

D21 - Last girl standing. She may be all alone in the tent, but she is thriving and looking healthy, and I hope to have another girl soon to keep her company. I gave her about 0.5 liters of water @ pH 6.1. D24 - The girl is thriving: 12 cm tall, 24 cm wide. Short and stocky like Cartman. I switched the light from about 40% to 60% yesterday, and I'm now reading around 500-600 PPFD at the canopy level. On the high end for sure, so let's see how she handles it. However, the daytime temp in the tent jumped up to around 30 degrees C after I switched the light. #tinytentproblems D24 (part 2) - Alright, it's only been a few hours, but it is clear that she REALLY didn't enjoy that sudden increase in photons. After some hours under the more intense light, I checked on her, and she displayed several signs of light stress, such as her leaf edges curling upward ("taco"-ing) while the whole leaf was drooping. Clearly, she wasn't happy, so I dimmed the light until I saw around 430 PPFD at the canopy level. She is "sleeping" now, but I will check on her tomorrow to see how she reacts. D27 - Today was the last day in week three of veg. I think she is already going into pre-flower, and she already has a faint smell to her. She is 16 cm tall and 28 cm wide. I haven't trained her yet but will start doing some LST next week. I also started brewing compost tea (worm castings, neem meal, kelp meal, biochar, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, and molasses) which I will leave overnight and feed to her tomorrow.

I topped this one too jus tucking bigger fan leaves until i can fo some LST .she growing jus as good so my little experiment grow dots vs. Bottles is so far the same both have vigorous growth still early to decide but will definitely keep updating only issue when it came time to feed the other I forgot that this girl already got food on her plate and I poured jus a cunt hair of nutes on her before I realized I gave her growdots so I made me a little sign just as a reminder lol happy growing 🤙

This week was great this is supposed to be an autoflower but here we are at 8 weeks and I've seen one pistol per bud site I'm wondering if I was accidently sent photoperiods? I'm not sure if anyone has ideas is this normal for this auto or is it a photo

Day:31 Because of heat stress bush looks like it has LST.

Well week 3 started on Monday, I'm late to the party, lol. Everything is going pretty decent so far. One surprise though...they have a smell. They didn't at this stage last time. Weird, lol. I gave them a slight trim and will be done with that until flowering. They seem very happy! ✌️❤️😁🍀🎶 EB

The plants were so crowded I decided to put them into a Larger tent to allow some light to the lower bud sites and to help lower the humidity amongst the plants. I'm sure they will love the extra space. The light has now been raised 20cm (20cm taller tent) Allowing me to turn out right up which is 45000 lux in the centre right below it. I will up the bloom to 2ml/l this coming week.

Day 7 - all plants need tidying up. SO1 has the strongest colour & overall development so far... Frosty buds SO2 is suffering from heat issues. But has the nice smell

Gente !! sono arrivate alla 4° Settimana di fioritura...pensavo diventassero hermafrodita, per il forte stress subito,ma invece ho visto che ha solo fatto un paio di nanners(bananine)...sto controllando giornalmente che non c'è n'è altri e specialmente che non rilasciano polline altrimenti mi impollina tutto.e per ora non ho bisogno di semi,🤣😂💪.cmq stanno bene

First week of 12/12 aka the transition week. Stretch has begun and canopy is filling in nicely. Have been doing a lot of pruning, defoliation and lollipopping to get the small shit cleaned up and solid airflow. Steady as she goes!!

Toutes les 5 ont germées, 2 moyennes banana+ 1 grosse .(racine) 1 moyenne purple bud +1 grosse et une très petite (racine) Elles ont germées toutes en 3 jours. Puis je l'ai ai mise dans des pastilles de coco et chaque tourbe dans des petits pots en plastique, sur un plateau métallique devant ma fenêtre (je n'avais pas encore de box) du 2 mars au 7 mars.

She has been in the greenhouse OUTSIDE for about 10 days now. I do have supplement lighting and air circulation in there. Running 2 450 watt advertised full spectrum tripple led cobs with an 120 watt true draw per unit. So 240 watts from the plug in the green house. I run them as supplemental on cloudy days and an hour or 2 before complete sunset. I have began flushing towards the end of this week. She was fed 1/4 strength nutes DAILY up to this point. Now only TPS signal and molasses to flush her with. I plan for a 10-14 day flush. The last 4-5 days i will drop the molasses and run straight TPS signal and ph tap water. I am now begining to see the swell towards the end of this week....i am happy about that! I hope those calyxes get nice and fat during this flushing. So far so good.....she has taken to the green house well!

scratch what I said last week, trichomes still milky and buds just getting more and more dense, in my last grows i’ve always been low on weed by the time harvest rolls around but i’m not this time so i’ll just be letting it go until I have to pull it.

🌿 Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip | Grow Diary #268 / 750 "From Seed to Gold – The Beginning of the Drip" There are collaborations, and then there are moments. This one — Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip — is something truly special. Only 750 packs were made worldwide, and we are honored to be growing pack #268. Every detail of this release speaks of art, precision, and love for the culture — from the gold-embossed wasp that guards the box to the wax seal, signed certificate, grinder, joint holder, stickers, and plant tags. It’s not just a seed pack — it’s a statement of style and devotion. We feel humbled and grateful to Zamnesia and TICAL for this gift — for trusting us with the chance to bring their art to life through nature. Thank you for going above and beyond, and for giving this grower community a collector’s piece that will live on through every leaf and bud that follows. Clean Room, Clean Energy – Sterilization & Preparation Before any seed touched water, the temple had to be purified. Preparation is everything, and we take cleanliness as seriously as lighting or nutrients. The entire 8 × 8 ft (≈ 2.4 × 2.4 m) tent was stripped down and deep-cleaned — every corner, fan blade, and duct. We vacuumed all surfaces, then washed with a bleach solution, followed by a hydrogen-peroxide-infused rinse for maximum sanitation. But this run, we added something new to our ritual: UVC sterilization. We’re using the Future of Grow UVC-60, a compact yet powerful UVC device that emits germicidal light to neutralize unseen contaminants — mold spores, bacteria, and viruses — both on surfaces and in the air. For a full week before introducing the plants, the UVC-60 ran for 12 hours each day, moved to different positions daily to ensure complete coverage throughout the tent. ⚠️ Safety Note: UVC light is extremely effective, but it is not safe for direct human exposure. Never operate the device while anyone (or pets) are inside the room. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and UVC-rated safety glasses when handling or repositioning the unit. UVC light can cause skin and eye damage if used without proper precautions — always treat it with the same respect as any high-energy sterilization tool. This extra layer of preparation brings peace of mind and a true reset — a sterile, radiant environment ready for new life. Clean space, clean start, clean energy. That’s how the Nectar Drip begins. 🌱 Germination – The Ritual Begins We’ve just placed our seeds in a CannaKan germination system, using a mix of 80% purified water + 20% hydrogen peroxide to give them the perfect start. Now, we wait — patiently, excitedly — for the first signs of life. In a few days, we’ll share which of these golden beans pop open first. Every germination is a small miracle, and we’ll treat it like one. 💡 The Future of Grow – Lighting the Golden Path This journey unfolds under the glow of the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, powered and precisely controlled by the Nova 2C Pro system. We believe in balance between technology and intuition, and this LED setup gives us the spectrum and control to truly tune the grow — from seedling to harvest — in harmony with the plant’s rhythm. Expect future updates on the light settings, environment, and feedback as the plants develop. 🌾 The Foundation – Powered by PLAGRON A strong plant begins with a strong foundation. For this grow, we’re proud to be working with Plagron, one of the most trusted names in cultivation. Our soil base is the Plagron Bio LightMix — a lightly fertilized, organic substrate made from premium peat, perlite, and high-quality worm castings. Its airy structure ensures perfect root oxygenation and drainage, while its soft nutrient profile makes it ideal for seedlings and young plants. The Bio LightMix also supports a thriving micro-life within the soil — letting the roots and beneficial organisms work together naturally from day one. For feeding, we’ll be using Plagron Terra Grow during the vegetative phase — a fast-acting mineral base nutrient that provides essential macro- and micronutrients directly available to the plant. Once we enter flowering, we’ll transition to Terra Bloom, to fully unlock the potential of the Nectar Drip genetics. 🌿 The Nutrient Philosophy We believe in the synergy of organic and mineral — a balance between living soil energy and precise control. The Bio LightMix gives the roots life and breath, while the Terra line gives us accuracy and stability in feeding. Together, they allow the plants to express their full spectrum of flavor, structure, and potency — clean, consistent, and powerful. Later in this diary, we’ll explore the additives and boosters that will complement the foundation, fine-tuning this grow to perfection. But for now, it all begins here — in the rich, golden soil. ✨ Gratitude & Community This project isn’t just ours — it belongs to everyone who shares this passion. We want to thank Zamnesia, TICAL, Plagron, and Future of Grow for their innovation, creativity, and trust. Each partner brings something essential: art, science, light, and life. And of course — thank you, the community. To the long-time followers, the newcomers, the curious, the critics, the friends — you’re all welcome here. Every comment, every bit of love or challenge helps us grow stronger. This is a space for respect, passion, and learning — together. 🌟 The Mission This grow is a celebration of collaboration and creativity — where art meets earth. We’ll document every step, from germination to harvest, and later bring this entire journey to life through a YouTube episode that captures the spirit behind the Nectar Drip collaboration — the gold, the glow, the grind, and the gratitude. Stay tuned — the Nectar Drip begins now. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

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 💚 #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.

Update coming.
