🌙 Harvest Report – “The Dark Queen’s Final Bow” Week 13 from seed | Week 9 Flower | 12/12 from seed And just like that… the journey of our White Widow from Zamnesia reaches its crown. A legend reborn, a dark queen grown straight from seed to bloom — no pauses, no compromises, just pure rhythm and instinct. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest – A Quick Recap For those just joining us, this girl began her story under a 12/12 light cycle from seed, or more precisely, 11/13 for our personal shuttle. Instead of growing through a long vegetative phase, she learned to optimize herself from day one — adapting, building strength, and focusing entirely on her single mission: to bloom. This is the essence of the 12/12-from-seed method — the plant is “born” in flowering conditions, believing the season is ending. Nature responds by compressing growth and flowering into one continuous process. It’s a fascinating experiment in plant adaptation — a balance of speed, structure, and survival. And she did it like a champion. Compact. Dense. Frosted beyond belief. She carried herself with grace — a short, shy plant maybe, but full of power, soul, and personality. 🌿 Her Final Numbers & Harvest Process At the end of her journey, she blessed us with 68 grams of dry flowers — and not a gram wasted. Every bud dense, sticky, and shining with resin. The harvest was done whole-plant, to maintain moisture uniformity and slow the dry — two full weeks at 60°F / 60% RH (the classic 60/60 method). When the stems finally made that satisfying click, it was time for the hand trim — using the Trim Bin, of course. From the trim, we collected kief using the traditional Moroccan drum technique, resulting in a beautiful golden gift. Finger hash was dense and fragrant — a sign of her rich trichome layer. After trimming, she was carefully stored in Grove Bags 2.0 — designed to balance internal humidity for a perfect cure. 🕯️ Curing & Smoke Experience After two months of curing, this girl transformed into a true vintage classic. Even after all that time, the buds stayed dense, sticky, and aromatic. The dark green and purple tones deepened, covered in a white, frosty coat. The aroma is nostalgic — earthy spice and pine with that unmistakable 90s energy. On the smoke: pure, clean, and smooth. No chlorophyll harshness, no grassy tones — just a balanced, velvety inhale that brings you straight back to the days of Amsterdam’s golden era. She’s powerful yet relaxing, joyful yet introspective — an old-school soul wrapped in modern perfection. Some of her most special buds are sealed and resting in small Grove Bags, stored cool for special moments. A treasure chest of memories and medicine. 💧 Nutrition Recap Throughout her life, she thrived under a carefully balanced recipe: Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, All-In-One Liquid Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation This combination created harmony between mineral support and organic stimulation, helping her push both flavor and resin production — especially critical under a 12/12 from seed cycle. 💡 Gear & Environment She grew beneath the Future of Grow Black Series 600W LED and the ThinkGrow LED bars, all managed through the Trolmaster ecosystem. The lighting schedule featured Emerson-effect reds — activated 15 minutes before and after the main lights — simulating sunrise and sunset for increased photosynthetic efficiency and resin production. Photos were captured using the loyal Sony a6000, swapping between macro and standard lenses to showcase her dark beauty, frosty density, and every glimmering detail. 🌸 Final Reflection This grow was a test, yes — but it became a lesson in evolution. A seed born into 12/12 doesn’t complain or wait; she adapts. She listens to nature’s rhythm, grows fast, focuses hard, and gives everything she has. The yield was modest, but the quality — beyond words. And the message clear: sometimes less time means more intent, more purity, more heart. 🌍 Gratitude & Good Vibes To Zamnesia, for carrying the legend and keeping the 90s alive. To Aptus and Plagron, for fueling life with balance and flavor. To Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Trolmaster, for lighting the path. And to the GrowDiaries community, to the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new followers — thank you all for being part of this. You can see her full journey in motion — from seed to Dark Queen — in glorious 4K on YouTube. Because some stories deserve to be seen as much as they’re told. 💬 Closing Thought “Every seed carries a story — but only the light reveals its language.” Until the next run, my dear friends — the next genetics, the next rhythm, the next evolution. 🌿💚 🧠 P.S. – The Importance of Drying & Curing Drying and curing are often underestimated — yet they are as vital as the entire growth process. You can grow the most beautiful plant in the world, but if she’s rushed at this stage, all the aroma, flavor, and smoothness can vanish in days. 🌬️ Drying The goal of drying is not just to remove moisture — it’s to allow the plant’s internal chemistry to finish its work. When you dry slow and steady at 60°F / 60% RH, you give enzymes and bacteria time to break down leftover chlorophyll and sugars that cause harshness. This is why the “60/60 rule” is so cherished: it keeps terpenes alive and smooths out the smoke. You’ll know she’s ready when stems make that soft, crisp snap instead of bending. 🍯 Curing Curing begins where drying ends — in sealed containers or Grove Bags, ideally stored around 60% humidity. During these weeks (or months, if you have patience), moisture equalizes throughout the buds, creating a perfectly even texture. Inside, slow oxidation and continued enzymatic activity refine the flavor profile — turning raw plant aroma into deep, complex notes. The reward? A smoother inhale, richer aroma, cleaner burn, and overall more mature experience. It’s not just drying; it’s aging your craft — much like wine or cheese. 💚 Patience transforms product into passion. Two weeks of drying and at least a month (or two!) of curing will elevate any harvest from good to unforgettable. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 5 : Auto Colorado in Vertafort Great week of growth, filling out the canopy nicely by now ! seeing some promising side shoots, not seeing any excess or lack of nutrients - yet ! sprayed with micro and kelp twice a week , keeping VPD in the green zone to great effect. got watered with co2 twice and got watered once with beneficials and micro. I might have messed uo a bit on the pH watering the last time, but only time will tell. Hopefully the soil microbes etc will buffer it out without any significant pH fluctuations. just trying to follow their growth with some LST and raising the light every day or couple of days this week, keeping the distance constant and hopefully keeping the correct distance. I'm not planning a feed for a couple of weeks at least. Let's see how the buds develop first ! Any comments or constructive suggestions, fire away ! 🚀

Dia 1 de vegetación Veg1, cuando empiezan a crecer las primeras hojas de mas de un dedo/puntas considero que han dejado de ser plantulas, y han comenzado la vegetación. Entonces, les he dado su primer alimento con nutrientes muy suaves(micro, grow y bloom) en una EC de 0.5, con pH de 6.2, ademas de seguir inoculando la tierra y raices que vienen desarrollando con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, con 1/2 de fuerza. Veg2, riego con 0.3 EC y pH 6.1, desde el primer riego están creciendo más rápido. Veg3, riego con 0.6 EC y pH 6.0, primer riego con suficiente agua para obtener drenaje, el drenaje midió 1.2 EC y 6.5 pH, todo ok. Veg4, nada hoy. Veg5, riego con 1.2 EC y pH 6.2, se usó Sensi CalMag en este riego @2ml/litro por un poco de amarillo en el nuevo crecimiento, B-52 también. Veg6, siguen creciendo bien, al parecer se corrigió lo amarillo en las hojas. Veg7, riego con 0.7 EC y 6.0 pH, drenaje de 1.1 EC (ok) y 6.6 pH (un poco alto), siguientes riegos serán con pH 5.8. Subí la luz y bajé su intensidad para que las plantas estiren un poco antes del transplante, las raíces de la más pequeña estaban ok, la más pequeña fue sacrificada, ya van quedando 11 de las 9 plantas finales. Ahora a esperar que se desarrollen suficiente(3-4 sets de hojas verdaderas) para hacer transplante a la maceta definitiva de 18 litros.

July 27th Day 30 - 💧Fed 1L If above program 5.8EC last top feed before turn on auto pots. _______________________ July 28th Day 31 - 💧10pm mixed up 20L in the res. Turned on autopots filled up the trays made sure everything was working. Turned off the supply of water. ——— 1am noticeable decrease in water in the trays..

Update of harvest

Première récolte pas trop mâle réussi!!!

Day 56 Flowering: We are finally at an harvest window after only seeing the poor fft#8 pulled early. FFT#9 is still giving out lots of new pistils so wants to continue a bit longer . She has some very nice bud stacks that will benefit from another weeks swelling and growth. I decided to end the drought stress and feed again as I could not risk slowing the. down too much at this stage now. She has a lot of trichromes covering her sugar leaves and buds too but they are still fairly clear when I looked at them with the loupe. By the amount of fresh pistils still showing and popping out , she will be good for at least another week and plenty more feeds. This strain is a beautiful smelling and growing beasty. a sure fire winner once released. FFT#10 Has been in the dark for nearly 3 days now and will be trimmed up later for her drying period. She looks absolutely perfect in the flesh amd pics do not do her justice. Nice, fat , long and trich covered colas throughout the plant amd I cannot wait to sample that beautiful candy smelling trich monster. Be safe and Well growmies

Nothing much to report..except..These plant's are amazing !!! 😁😁🔥🔥. Looks like someone thru a bag of suger over them, really strong sweet smells, flowers starting to swell nicely. I'm very happy so far...it's gona be danky dank...💚💚😁

Estamos casiii, este es el último riego que le doy con fertilizantes, tricomas lechosos aprox un 80%, próxima semana haremos lavado de raices.

Well I must be doing things right, for an auto this girl is doing really well. I’m still learning but will be growing more Bruce Banner. I’d soon rather have sativa but takes so much longer to grow. She takes all the nutrients I give and drinking more water this week, had to top her up a few times. PH is 6.4 TDS is right around 1000 Temp is 20c Humidity is 60-70

Bueno pues lo dicho familia, es una cepa dulzona y acaramelada, con un porcentaje medio de 16% thc , me parece bastante potente está indica en verdad es un cebollazo épico, si te pasas sentirás hormigueo en las extremidades asegurado. Sencillisima de cultivar, muy rápida de verdad tamaño entre 45/60cms no es muy grande pero las flores son muy compactas. Espero que os guste este último trabajo, os dejo muchas fotos y algunos vídeos finales , un saludo y buenos humos.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/10- Wow! Here we go into Week 4 of flower for the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower by FastBuds and this lady is on a mission! The GG4 Sherbet FF has large cola's forming all over her and they are rapidly stacking up. Her flowers are continuing to develop and are beginning to get a thick layer of trichomes on them! 8/12- Today, the daily watering routine continues at sunset with around 5g of well water from the hose. I also went into the canopy and removed a bunch of dead and/or completely yellowed leaves to keep the foliage clear of debris which can cause insect and fungal issues if allowed to get out of hand. 8/14- I am continuing to water the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. Yesterday, I top dressed the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. 8/16- We have rain in the forecast over the next three days. There were a couple of passing light rain showers today which didn't provide a lot of rain so I went ahead and watered the GG4 Sherbet FF with approximately 5g of well water just to make sure that she didn't get thirsty. There's a month in flower for this beautiful fast flowering cultivar from the experts at FastBuds and all I can say is WOW! I can't say enough positive things about this strain and will, for sure, be running it again! See you next week!😎✌️ Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Just removed some leaves and gave her a little bit fertilizer for bloom My first Cannabonsai, i am happy!!
