WELL! What an experience. I made some mistakes, learned a lot and still got some excellent weed out of it. Super frosty, LOUD and SO dense it's ridiculous 😂 Sadly i got some (a lot for me) mold, i encountered for the very first time. With it being almost winter in Germany, the temps dropped really hard for some days and then even 60% humidity was too much for the strain. I also would say it isn't that resistant against mold, so just keep that in mind, the buds are so dense, it's really easy for them to trap water. I had to throw away like 1/4 of the yield, mostly the top buds 💀 That kinda sucked, but it could be worse, it's fire weed tho, i'll add pictures of the buds later.

First time growing inside. I always just throw my seeds in the spil when I grow outside told myself to do the same here. Put the seeds maybe 1 to 1.5 inches into the soil and put 1.5 ozs of water on and around the seed. Also had domes on my 1/2 gallon pots to keep humidity high. Had my lamp at around 12 inches from the pots. Once they sprouted they stretched a bit so I out my lamp down to 8 inch and they stopped growing. I'll probabky stsrt at 6 to 8 inches next time and see what happens.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 3 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Stage Overview We are officially in Week 3 since germination, which places the plants in early vegetative development, even though this run is being done 12/12 from seed. Growth remains measured and intentional, exactly as expected under this approach. All plants look healthy, lush, and stable, with no signs of stress. What stands out this week is the difference in growth rhythm between phenotypes: • One plant is clearly leading, already showing fully developed true leaves with three fingers, moving confidently toward the fourth. • One plant is developing at a slower pace, still focusing on building structure and leaf mass. • One sits right in between, balanced and steady. This kind of variation is normal and welcome at this stage. Same genetics, same environment — different expressions. Time will tell which one becomes the champion, but for now, all of them are doing exactly what they should. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Climate Control The environment remains consistent and stable, which is key at this phase: • Relative Humidity: ~75–80% • Day Temperature: ~27 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Light Distance: ~1.78 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft and minimal, just enough to refresh the air without disturbing young plants. At this stage, we prioritize calm conditions over aggressive air movement. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The plants continue under the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, controlled via the Nova 2C Pro. The light intensity and distance are intentionally conservative, encouraging steady development rather than forced growth. With 12/12 from seed, patience is essential — we’re building structure now so the stretch and early flower development later can happen cleanly and naturally. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Containers: 15 L plastic bags • Medium: ProMix Even though top growth appears slow, what’s happening below the surface is far more important right now. Root systems are expanding, branching, and learning the container. This is often invisible work — but it sets the pace for everything that follows. ⸻ Nutrition – Philosophy & Application We’re continuing with a hybrid organic–mineral approach, which is something I personally believe in. For me, this offers the best of both worlds: • the precision and consistency of mineral nutrition, • combined with the biological support and resilience associated with organic inputs. Current Nutrition (Light but Consistent): • Plagron Terra Grow (base nutrition) • Power Roots (root stimulation) • Pure Zym (enzyme support) • Sugar Royal (metabolic & microbial support) • Vita Race (foliar & vitality support) • TDS / EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.8 The feeding strategy remains steady and repeatable. No chasing trends, no unnecessary changes. The plants are responding with deep green color, strong leaf posture, and balanced growth, which tells us the nutrition is doing its job. Vita Race is being applied confidently, without fear, as part of a proactive approach to plant vitality and stress resistance. ⸻ Watering • Volume: ~0.4 L per plant • Frequency: every 24 hours Watering remains controlled and deliberate, ensuring moisture availability without oversaturation. This supports oxygen availability in the root zone and encourages healthy root exploration. ⸻ Observations & Interpretation Growth is slow — and that’s expected. Running 12/12 from seed means plants prioritize root establishment and internal signaling before expressing visible vertical growth. What matters now is not size, but balance. Leaf color is excellent, structure is clean, and there are no signs of deficiency or toxicity. The differences between plants are genetic expression, not environmental error. Personally, I believe that below the soil surface, things are moving fast — just not in ways we can immediately see. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect a noticeable acceleration in visible development as root systems finish establishing themselves. ⸻ What to Expect / What Not to Expect What to Expect: • Gradual acceleration in growth over the next 1–2 weeks • Continued phenotype variation • Increased leaf complexity and structure • Stable transition toward early flower behavior due to 12/12 What Not to Expect: • Explosive vegetative growth • Uniform plant size • Immediate stretch or flowering signals This is a long game, not a sprint. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist & collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this journey and making this collaboration possible. And as always, thank you to the community — the supporters, the critics, the curious, the long-time followers, and the newcomers. Everyone is welcome here. Every opinion has value. Criticism helps us grow. Everything shared in this diary reflects my personal experience, my choices, my lessons, and yes — my mistakes. It’s a pleasure to share them openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 3 Summary • Environment stable • Nutrition consistent • Roots developing • Phenotypes expressing differently • Plants healthy, calm, and promising The Nectar Drip continues its quiet build — patient, intentional, and full of potential.

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. FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 💡 P.S.2 – PPFD Progression Explained You may notice in some of the photos a reference board showing weeks and PPFD levels, so here’s a quick explanation to give context. For plants that were run under 18/6, the PPFD progression looked like this: • Week 1: ~300 PPFD • Week 2: ~400 PPFD Once we transitioned and aligned everything under 12/12, the light intensity was gradually increased to match plant maturity: • Week 3: ~500 PPFD • Current: moving between 500–600 PPFD, depending on plant height and development From here on, the approach is simple and intuitive: the plants grow toward the light, and we allow the PPFD to rise naturally as the canopy gets closer and stronger. We don’t force intensity — we let the plants tell us when they’re ready. This progressive increase helps avoid stress, encourages healthy structure, and allows the plants to adapt smoothly to higher light levels over time.

Continua il tragitto verso metà della fioritura e ieri sono state sciacquate solo con acqua a ph neutro. The Sin è la pianta più alta di tutte con foglie più strette presentando caratteristiche più Sativa..quando entro nel box sento odori buonissimi 🤤 da rimanere lì ore per cercare di catturare più possibile ogni sfumatura della sua fragranza 💜non resta altro che aspettare 🌱👌

Day 29. Heavy work in progress, update will follow... Day 30. Job done, most lost almost all big fan leaves, all 3 Kushes where toped. In plans one more heavy training session in a week time, few days to recover and hopefully flower !!! Skunks overgrew Cheeses and start to smell, really to STINK ;)) And i love it !!! Next watering - full feed. Day 31. All Kushes have mini mag deficiency, but i get it with my lights often and know how to fight in early stages. All girls will get 3 feeds in a row. 1. CalMag only 2. Silica acid only 3. Full range of Biobizz feed. After installing new air fans, have to water girls almost every day. Try to feed them only once a week, but pot space taken in full by most of the girls and its time for first mini boost. Day 34. Girls got really heavy defoliation, HST , toping and LST session. First time in my life i trim toped plants so much, but they where reaching sky and stems too fragile for supercroping yet, i do it on branches, but not on mains. So i guess they will slow down a bit ;))) All girls got silica acid after. Happy Growing !

Finally getting all caught up here. Sorry not more details, but the dates on photos are accurate from iPhone timestamp. Skipped a few nutrient feedings due to still fighting what I thought was a ph issue, so we’ll see how she reacts to being fed on 11/19.

Week 7 of bloom, and I’m thrilled with how things are turning out!🌟 One of the plants has been fully flushed this week and is now ready to be harvested.🌱✂️ It’ll soon be hung up to dry, marking the end of its journey. This plant was incredibly quick, going from seed to harvest in record time—impressive!🍂😊 That leaves me with the other Banana Purple Punch, which has now started its flushing phase. In about 1 to 1.5 weeks, it’ll spend 48-72 hours in complete darkness before being harvested. This plant is looking fantastic, and I’m excited to see how it finishes up. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this grow. Each plant has shown its unique character and pace, making the process both rewarding and educational. Can’t wait to see the final results from the Banana Purple Punch!😊

Desde 13/12 a 20/12 13/12: empezó el día con lluvia en la madrugada y mucho viento. Esperemos no haya sufrido la planta ya que estaba atada y no pude ir a cortarle los hilos. El pluviómetro marcó 130ml. El viento fue fuerte pero lo soportó como una campeona. El problema es que los caminos estan feos y no se puede entrar. Tendré que esperar hasta el miércoles o jueves para poder ir a verla. 14/12: temperatura de 29ºC. Humedad de 63%. Me dicen que sigue creciendo bien, aun no se mejoran los caminos rurales así que hoy no podré ir a verla. Mañana posiblemente si y subo fotito. 15/12: tuve que pedirle a un amigo que me lleve en moto porque en auto no se puede entrar, hay mucho barro y aún no se escurre el agua de los caminos. La nena no sufrió nada. Crecio mas de 15cm desde la ultima vez que la vi. Parece que con el viento se desataron los hilos así que volví a atarla. No hizo falta riego ya que aún dura la humedad de la lluvia del domingo. 16/12: hoy fui a verla y a regarla. Me llamo la atención la fuerza que hace para irse para arriba, tanta fuerza que desató varios hilos. Tuve que volver a atarla. Se marcó a tal punto de casi quebrarse el tallo en la punta, donde doblé la planta. Le puse aloe vera natural para que cicatrice, espero de buen resultado. Por otra parte regue con 20 litros y saque muchas arañas blancas, muchos huevos y varias chinches. No nos olvidemos que el lugar de cultivo está cerrado por monte autóctono y virgen, hay cualquier cantidad de insectos. Suelo ponerle musica a la planta cuando voy a verla, hoy escuchamos el CD “Lobo suelto, cordero atado” de Los Redondos. ¿Ustedes creen que las plantas disfrutan de la música como nosotros? 18/12 - mucho calor durante la siesta/tarde. Conserva bien la humedad. Hoy regué con manguera. No encontré ningún huevo de araña, pero si una araña pequeña. Ayer no pude venir a verla por falta de tiempo, y hoy note el crecimiento de los dos días. Va bastante bien. Esta semana descansa de fertilizantes. Esperaré a fertilizar fuerte pasado el cuarto menguante. 19/12: como de costumbre fui por la tarde antes de que cayera el sol, y me encontre con la sorpresa de que tenia mucha araña roja varios sectores de la planta, muchos huevos debajo de las hojas grandes. Tuve que volver a mi casa a buscarlo Jabón Potásico para hacerle aplicación foliar. Le puse 1 litro con dos tapas de jabón; esperemos haga resultado. Mañana tendré que dedicarle más atención a la nena y sacarle todo lo que pueda de forma manual. Hoy es luna llena y alumbra muchísimo, la nena lo siente, le gusta.
