Ficando com super tricomas , engordando bem e saudável,essa genética da latitud Sur seeds é muito boa,essa planta é um clone de uma olá tá mãe com mais de 5 anos, é uma genética estável e fácil de cultivo,com grandes resultados, precisa de bastante nutrição na flora e absorve bastante água então é bom regar sempre, resistente a pragas e a climas com a umidade alta . Thai+México=Moby Dick+Super silver haze=Super Moby Dick.

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Well, another week has passed and they are growing very well, now it's a matter of two to three weeks for me to change them to flora, this week I did a little defoliation on the plants and watered them again with top crop top veg fertilizer and I also did some bindings known as low stress training. =D

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 5 Report Early Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Note on timing: This is labeled as Week 5 in GrowDiaries / Grow Iris, even though in real growth rhythm we are closer to Week 3 of true vegetative development. This offset comes from starting the diary early and using photo-heavy germination documentation. We’ll continue to clarify this each week for transparency and consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Training Reveals Character This week confirmed something important: training doesn’t slow a plant — it reveals it. Last week, we began Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant using clamps to gently guide the main stem close to horizontal. At the time, she was the smallest plant of the Nectar Drip group. This week, her response has been nothing short of beautiful. Despite being smaller, she reacted with: • accelerated side branching • clear apical redistribution • strong node activation • healthy, vibrant green growth She is opening up, spreading out, and showing structure — not by force, but by invitation. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Precision The trained plant is now the focus of this week’s report, because she’s telling us a story worth listening to. What’s being done: • Main stem gently bent and held near-parallel to the soil • Leaves progressively opened and repositioned • Lower growth sites intentionally exposed to light • No snapping, no crushing, no stress points This is classic Low Stress Training (LST) — the goal is not control, but redirection. What we’re seeing: • Lower branches actively pushing upward • Tighter internodal spacing • A wider, flatter structure • Balanced energy distribution She’s currently entering her fourth node, and already the lower growth is responding like it knows it’s been invited to participate. You can clearly see this in the macro photos — the symmetry, the confidence, the way each branch is waking up. ⸻ 📸 Macro Session – When the Plant Earns the Spotlight This week, the trained plant earned her moment. She was taken into the studio for a dedicated macro session — and she deserved it. The photos reveal: • clean, healthy tissue • vibrant green coloration • active growth points • no signs of stress or hesitation Up close, it becomes obvious: this plant isn’t struggling — she’s thinking. ⸻ 🌿 The Other Plants – Natural Expression The remaining Nectar Drip plants are not being trained as intensively. For them: • leaves are gently tucked • some bending is done to guide light penetration • no structural manipulation beyond basic canopy management They are: • taller • more vertical • opening naturally • branching in their own rhythm They look fantastic — healthy, lush, and confident — but their expression is clearly different from the trained plant. Same genetics, same room, same feed… different guidance. This contrast is exactly why this approach is valuable. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions (Unchanged) Conditions remain consistent with last week: • Relative Humidity: ~65% • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow continues to increase slightly, encouraging movement and stem strength without stress. ⸻ 💡 Light – Growing Into Intensity PPFD continues its gradual rise: • Previously: ~500 PPFD • Current range: 500 → 600 PPFD, depending on plant height Once again, the plants are growing toward the light, not being forced into it. This progressive increase matches structure and development perfectly. ⸻ Nutrition – Stay the Course Nutrition remains unchanged, because the plants are clearly happy. • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar) Leaf color, posture, and response all confirm that stability is working. This is a deliberate mix of mineral precision and biological support, based on experience and personal philosophy. As always: everything shared here reflects my own experience, opinions, lessons, and mistakes, offered openly to the community. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • continued lateral development on the trained plant • more defined structure • increased canopy complexity • visible divergence between trained vs untrained plants Do Not Expect: • instant size catch-up • explosive vertical growth • stress reactions The trained plant may not become the tallest — but she may become the most interesting. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Much love and respect to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist and collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow And thank you to everyone following this journey — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. ⸻ 🌟 Week 5 Summary • Training is working • Genetics are solid • Differences are emerging • Structure is forming • The story is getting richer She was the smallest. She’s responding the strongest. And she’s just getting started.

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.

She looks super heath and happy, I Supercroped her to get much more light penetracion and avoid a high height because I don't want her to be seen from the street,looks like a big green spider. Let's see how this beauty performs,she's smelling pretty strong so far,this is gonna be beautiful to watch! 💚😍🤤 Peace everybody! 💚💛❤️✌️🌱

Week 4 - Sometimes You Got To Lose To Gain Phase 2 - I took off the fan leaves so that the plant would redirect its energy into the stem and branches rather than the leaves. I also cut of the top heads so that the energy would go into the development of the 2 heads below.

Great grow. I experimented with topping and topped to earley which hurt my overall yield but after all was said and done I ended up with just over an ounce of really good top shelf pot!!!

2 plants showing different results. One has been flowering for 1 week and the other one looks stagnating. The one flowering is 38cms tall and new growth on top looks yellow and leaves on the bottom are stained. The other one has bigger stains at the bottom. Don't know the deficiency. Watering with 1ml Byron Bay Gold stage 2 per litre of RODI water. Am I missing calmag? Water ph?
