She si a shorts Girl with fat colas, the smell is strong and sweet, the flowers are very hard and sweet, My Main complaint with this strain is the time, because the bank says si a 8 week strain but she doesn't.

2/26: Harvested both Black Jacks and both Gorilla Girls tonight. They got a rough live trim, then chopped, washed, and hung to drip dry. Big, heavy, frosty buds on all 4 of them!👍 3/2: Still drying in the closet...amazing aromas!

21.10.24 BT#50 Servus liebe Growmie's ✌️🙂 Der Ice Cream Cake von Barney's Farm geht es sehr gut. Auch sie wird immer Frostiger und ich schaue regelmäßig nach den Tricomen. Sie versprüht eine leichte Vanille Note was sehr angenehm rüber kommt. Ihre Buds werden immer Purpler was richtig fein aussieht. Heute gab es das letzte mal Nährstoffe nach BioBizz-Juju Royal Düngeschema. Danach wird nur noch mit Ph angeglichenen Wasser gegossen. Wir werden sehen was die nächste Woche bringt danke euch wie immer fürs mitlesen. Bleibt Cool Stay High und ein schönen Abend euch allen. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 💪🏻💚 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 21.10.24 BT#50 Hello dear Growmie's ✌️🙂 The Ice Cream Cake from Barney's Farm is doing very well. It is also getting frostier and frostier and I regularly check the tricomes. She exudes a slight vanilla note which is very pleasant. Her buds are getting purpler and purpler which looks really nice. Today was the last time I gave her nutrients according to the BioBizz-Juju Royal fertilizer scheme. After that we will only water with Ph adjusted water. We'll see what next week brings, thanks as always for reading along. Stay cool, stay high and have a nice evening everyone. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 💪🏻💚

Week 14 marks a special chapter for Nectar Drip. What started as a straight 12/12 from seed run has turned into one of the clearest side-by-side lessons in plant behavior this room has given us so far. Same room, same feed, same light cycle, same genetics—but two very different approaches, and now two very different outcomes. From seed, this run was split in philosophy. One Nectar Drip was trained early and shaped by hand. The others were left almost entirely untouched—no topping, no real intervention, just leaf tucking and enough space to do their thing. That contrast became the real experiment. By now, the result is hard to ignore: in this format, under 12/12 from seed, the less we interfere, the more the plant seems willing to give back. The trained plant stayed smaller, stacked tighter, and never fully matched the natural size or output of the untouched sisters. Still beautiful, still resin-heavy, still absolutely worth growing—but clearly the most reduced expression of the group. And that made the decision easy. This week, the trained Nectar Drip became the chosen plant for fresh frozen. Not because it underperformed—but because it offered the perfect candidate for something different. Smaller structure, dense flower, extreme resin coverage, and a terp profile too loud to ignore made it the obvious pick to sacrifice to the wash. Rather than drying it traditionally, the whole plant was harvested and frozen immediately to preserve the volatile compounds exactly as they were on the stem. That means this one is no longer headed for jars—it is headed for ice, agitation, and eventually bubble hash. For anyone unfamiliar with the process: “fresh frozen” means harvesting the plant and freezing it immediately after chop instead of drying and curing first. This preserves more of the volatile terpenes and allows the resin to be processed later into solventless extracts—most commonly ice water hash. In simple terms: instead of smoking this plant as flower, we freeze it now so we can wash it later and separate the trichome heads into hash. Same resin, different destination. And if any plant in this run deserved that treatment, it was this one. Even as the smallest of the group, it was dripping in frost from top to bottom. Thick trichome coverage, greasy heads, sticky stalks, and that unmistakable oily feel when touched—the kind of resin that tells you immediately this cultivar has extraction potential. The aroma made the decision even easier: fruit up front, skunk underneath, something creamy in the middle, and a strange almond-like edge that keeps showing up every time the flower is handled. Loud, weird, greasy, and complex—exactly the kind of profile worth preserving in fresh frozen form. The remaining plants are still standing, and this is where the room shifts into its final phase. At this point, the living Nectar Drips are no longer being fed in the traditional sense. This week is water only, using collected rainwater and reclaimed dehumidifier water, with a small amount of enzymes to help break down remaining organics in the root zone. No more push. No more force. Just clean hydration, natural fade, and enough biological support to keep the substrate active while the plants finish at their own pace. It is the final reduction phase now—less input, more observation. And the plants are responding exactly the way they should. Fade is accelerating across the room now, and this is the kind of late-flower senescence we want to see. Fans are pulling color, chlorophyll is retreating, and the plants are beginning to cannibalize what remains in reserve. This is not deficiency panic—it is end-of-life behavior. The engine is shutting down naturally. Energy is no longer going into leaf production or structural growth. Everything is being redirected toward resin, ripening, and final flower maturation. Morphologically, that means the stretch is long over and the architecture is locked. What we are seeing now is finish work. Calyxes will continue to swell. Bracts should tighten. Resin heads will continue shifting from clear to cloudy. Aromatics will intensify. Leaf mass will continue fading back. Water uptake will begin slowing. The flowers are no longer building size the way they did two weeks ago—they are building finish. And that finish is already obvious. Buds across all remaining plants are dense, compact, and far heavier than their frame suggests. The untouched plants especially proved the point this run has been hinting at from the start: in this style of cultivation, less handling allowed for stronger vertical development, better natural structure, and ultimately more productive flowering sites. No topping, no recovery, no unnecessary stress—just uninterrupted forward motion. The difference is visible now in both size and final output. What happens next is simple: patience. There is no hard harvest date yet, and there does not need to be. From here forward, timing belongs to the trichomes. Right now, heads are mostly cloudy with very little amber present, which means we are entering the harvest window—but not fully inside it yet. Clear means early. Cloudy means peak THC. Amber means degradation begins shifting the effect. Until those heads begin showing the level of amber we want, these plants stay standing. So now we wait, watch, and let them decide. The room is loud. The flowers are greasy. Frost is everywhere. The fade is beautiful. The smell is ridiculous. Fruit, skunk, cream, funk, and something strangely nutty underneath. Sticky, oily, loud, and getting louder by the day. Nectar Drip has been a special one. Big respect to TICAL and Zamnesia for this collaboration—this cultivar has been loud, unique, and unforgettable from start to finish. Huge thanks as always to everyone following along, whether you have been here since day one or just landed in the diary this week. To the regulars, the silent watchers, the growers, the learners, the curious ones, the supporters, the skeptics, the OGs, the new faces, the lovers and the haters—thank you for being part of the ride. Big love to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document the process, and respect to every sponsor and supporter helping keep this garden moving. One plant went to the freezer. The rest are headed for the finish line. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Been a rough week and you can see she’s struggling with the heat! It’s been over 95 degrees for a few days now and I’ve been watering the daylights out of her. Kinda stunted from the heat.

Week 8 - Defoliating - I Know You May Be Thinking I’m Overdoing It But When The Stems On The Leaf Turns Purple That’s An Indication That For Some/Most Plate That It Can Be Plucked Off.

Day 70 - She's almost done stretching and starting to focus on bud formation. She grew 12" in the last 7 days and is drinking 1.5 gallons per day. Last week, the pH didn't rise quickly enough on it's own, so I will add pH Up to get her to 5.5 and let it drift up over the next week. Increased light to 45 DLI. Day 76 - For the last two weeks, I've had to add pH Up for the first 3 days after a water change to get the pH in range. By day 4, the pH starts slowly drifting up like it should. Wondering if getting more oxygen in the water will help better regulate pH

The first week of flower

Durban Poison are flowering beautifully. This Sativa strain is also putting out a few new shoots, even here in week 17. Either I accidentally let some light in during the day a couple of times, or—more likely—I trimmed away some small lower branches that were dying from light deprivation, and that triggered a minor burst of growth at the tips. Otherwise, they are flowering beautifully; the colas are bulking up, though they haven't really started to densify yet. A powerful aroma has emerged, and a sticky resin residue is starting to linger slightly on my hands. There is almost no visible "sugar" (trichome frosting) on ​​the leaves. They are drinking about 1–2 liters each per day. For the most part, I’ve been feeding them just water supplemented with Cal-Mag and acidifiers throughout the week. Occasionally, I add 2 ml/L of Simplex Aroma Punch. I’m hoping to harvest a decent yield this time around; the main stems are certainly robust enough. Seventeen weeks is an insanely long grow cycle. In the future, I’ll be switching to "Fast Flowering" strains (40-day cycles) or varieties with ultra-short flowering periods—something like Jelly Donutz from this same seed bank.

08/11: La troisième semaine de floraison commence enfin on devrait les fleurs prendre forme. J'espère que le stretch est fini car elle est assez grande et doit laisser un peu de place au autres. 08/12: la troisième semaine débute sur une note un peu amer. Certaines feuilles se détériore à une vitesse folle, ainsi que des tâches brune. Premier réflexe GHE essential et cal-mag agent de Canna ce matin. Espérons que les prochains jours seront plus cool et que cela vas arranger mon problème. 08/13: après avoir fait plus de recherche je suis enfin tombé sur un article sur le blog de pevgrow et mon problème correspond en tout point à une carence en magnésium. Je devrais voir voir des améliorations dans les 4 à 7 jours. Et bien-sûr continuer à donner du calmag. Le problème viendrai du fait que je tourne en 24/7 avec les auto's enfin c'est ce que je pense après avoir croisé les conseils et avis des "growers" de GD et certains articles. 08/14: c'est dernier jours ont été intense pour moi, lors de mon premier diaries j'avais déjà eu le même problèmes avec une purplequeen auto à l'époque je n'avais pas de calmag... enfin tous ça pour dire merci à la communauté growdiaries.com qui m'a conseillé et supporter. Maintenant cela c'est stabilisé et n'atteint aucune autre feuilles, les nouvelles feuilles sont belles et viguoireuses. Me voilà rassurer et surtout j'ai encore appris de nouvelles chose sur la cannabiculture 😎😨🤓 08/15: elle a créée une belle masse de feuilles entre temps, je vais appliquer une grosse defoliation après le prochain engraissâge histoire d'être que les carences ne sont plus d'actualités. À part cela je me contente de couper deux feuilles par jours. #46 08/16: tout est rentré dans l'ordre ouF :D - la production de trichromes à bien commencé, une légère odeur typique à la weed qu'elle que soit la variété en début de flo. se dégage de la growbox. je suis enchanté! Maintenant j'epère que le switch d'engrais càd changer "BioBizz bloom/topmax" pour "Canna PK13-14/Boost Accelerator" vas lui plaire à la jolie dame #47 08/17: apres une de nuit de réflexion: arrosage/engraisser (canna calmag (.6ml/L)/BB blom-topMax (1.2ml/L chaqu'un)/ AN BigBud-BudCandy (1ml/L chaqu'un) ce matin. J'essayerai canna pk 13 14 et boost accelerator sur mon prochain plant. #48

Irie, growmz! Runtz is enjoying the sunshine today! she was on my windowsill almost the whole week, now and then she could go outside when it was warm enough.. She only gets 15H of daylight but she is the only one who is not showing stress becouse of that.. leaves are nice and flat, colour is beautiful green.. so all is good! she hasnt even streched much (yet) I put her on my windowsill tonight again, so she will not have to feel the cold night air .. F1 strains are really something else👌 im excited to see how she is gonna bloom🙏 think im gonna top her soon. happy growing for all✊

Had to abandon stardawg as room wasnt available under flowering light. RQS purple queen back from issues hoping to pull her back.Changed nutrients to Megacrop,responding well.

The harvest of the first medusa F1 hybrid at day 93 after germination. The trichomes were starting to turn amber. I probably could have let her ripen for a bit longer. I am amazed how fat she has gotten, the weight of the flower is too heavy for the branches. Way to go RQS for breeding such a fast growing autoflower. She is already in the drying tent for 5 days now at a temperature of 19 °C with a humidity of around 55-60%. I want a nice and slow drying process to preserve the terpenes and cannabinoïds. This will take about 2 weeks in my opinion, when the branches start to give a clean snapping sound when bending. I will make a harvest blog once the flowers are dried and I have weighed the buds for the yield. This lady only received some LST and a little defoliation throughout the entire grow. I also dont flush the plant at the end since this myth was debunked by a scientific article. A flush is only needed if you overfed the plant. Dr bruce bugbee also confirmed this. The dry tent smells of hay/grass, which is logical because the plant still has a lot of chlorophyll inside. Untill the harvest blog! Check my other Medusa F1's for the progress of the experiment. I hope to give other people advice in growing these F1 hybrids.

Day 29, giving structure to ghe little baby, trying to multiply branches and giving some attention to the topped one. Day 30 fertisilisation today. Next time just water. LST is still in the middle Day 32 31/10 dinner at 100% now and pushing hard with grow, just watering without fertilisation this time and lamp higher for 2 cm. Stretching a little bit before passi into flow, next 7/8 days of veg Let’s see what’s happen

Hello Growers & Tokers! Check out the leaves on these ladies! 😍 Super duper healthy they are and that's why they got topped this week. I highly doubt they'll suffer any stress from being topped. My plan is to have as an even canopy looking to have about 6-10 colas per plant. They got some chunky leaves on them which will be taken off next week before switching them to flower. These ladies are gonna get big! 😍 😍 Can't wait to have that lovely lemony aroma flowing in the mix. Take care out there and happy growing!

Harvested 5 out of 7 pics and videos soon..... loading.....

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.
