šø Grow Diaries ā Permanent Marker, Week 2 Flower šø
This week is special on many levels. Not only are our Permanent Marker queens thriving in their second week of flower, but itās also a milestone for the Dognabis Cup: the welcome packs are on their way! So everyone, stay tuned to the postman and the doorbell ā good things are coming. āļøš¦
The Cup itself is more than just a grow, itās a celebration. Itās about sharing knowledge, experiences, and love for the plant. Itās about learning together, lifting each other up, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Sharing is caring, and this Cup is built on that principle. Iām truly honored to be creating this, and I hope all participants enjoy the ride.
On the nature side šš, I want to pause for a moment to appreciate the bees. They are true lifesavers for our planet, silent workers who ensure our ecosystems flourish. Just like automation in the grow room helps us, bees are natureās perfect automation for life itself.
Speaking of automation š¤š§, this week we introduced a watering system to see how it supports the garden. We may or may not keep it, but for now, itās been running, helping maintain consistency while still letting us keep a close eye on the girls.
Now, the stars of the show, the Permanent Marker phenos. Both are growing beautifully, very similar in structure, with Pheno #1 stretching just a touch taller. Compact yet strong, stacking beautifully, and already showing promise of whatās to come. Alongside them, the whole room is thriving, and Iāve shared a video to give you all a glimpse of the bigger picture. šæ
Lighting is another key topic this week: I want to highlight the ThinkGrow ICL 300 inner canopy lights. With their 300° spread, they make sure that even the lower canopy gets love, pushing light deep into the structure. This tech is a game-changer in keeping plants balanced and productive from top to bottom.
Nutrition-wise, we keep it simple because the super soil is already alive and working hard. Weāre just giving the girls a push with Aptus Holland Regulator and a gentle dose of Top Booster. Nothing more is needed, they are thriving in their living soil environment.
šø Summary:
⢠Stage: Week 2 of flower, steady stretch and stacking.
