Plants looking happier week by week. Peach Tree and Gary Payton also got their haircut. I pushed the light up to 120W which matches the light intensity recommended by Sanlight for the stage. Will keep it like that until I flip to flower. Recharged the crystals while the sun was shining on the weekend.

HOLY SMOKES!! Y’all seeing this?? Look how fast they are growing!! Wow 🤩 I’m so impressed both with the light and the superponics!! The light is giving perfect node spacing and the superponics is speeding up the growth 💯.. so what I been doing is 4 days lotus nutrients than I empty out the res and add hygrozymes and hyclean. Both by the same compmany! Both helps with salt build up and cleaning the roots/res… Plz follow my YouTube channel (Familytrees19)

This is actually week 3 for 7 of these ladies. I started with 7 Sour Bubbly and then waited for the Northern Cheese Haze and Hubbabubbasmelloscope to come in to pop in the dirt. So in order to keep this journal for both of those start dates I'll just meet in the middle at week 2 haha.

PLANTS ARE GROWING DAILY. I AM PRETTY HAPPY WITH MY RESULTS THUS FAR. ITS MY FIRST GROW AND ONLY BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON GROWING FOR A FEW MONTHS. I WANTED TO FIND THE EASIEST, MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO BE A "HELICOPTER" TYPE OF GROWER.

🌿 Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip | Grow Diary #268 / 750 "From Seed to Gold – The Beginning of the Drip" There are collaborations, and then there are moments. This one — Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip — is something truly special. Only 750 packs were made worldwide, and we are honored to be growing pack #268. Every detail of this release speaks of art, precision, and love for the culture — from the gold-embossed wasp that guards the box to the wax seal, signed certificate, grinder, joint holder, stickers, and plant tags. It’s not just a seed pack — it’s a statement of style and devotion. We feel humbled and grateful to Zamnesia and TICAL for this gift — for trusting us with the chance to bring their art to life through nature. Thank you for going above and beyond, and for giving this grower community a collector’s piece that will live on through every leaf and bud that follows. Clean Room, Clean Energy – Sterilization & Preparation Before any seed touched water, the temple had to be purified. Preparation is everything, and we take cleanliness as seriously as lighting or nutrients. The entire 8 × 8 ft (≈ 2.4 × 2.4 m) tent was stripped down and deep-cleaned — every corner, fan blade, and duct. We vacuumed all surfaces, then washed with a bleach solution, followed by a hydrogen-peroxide-infused rinse for maximum sanitation. But this run, we added something new to our ritual: UVC sterilization. We’re using the Future of Grow UVC-60, a compact yet powerful UVC device that emits germicidal light to neutralize unseen contaminants — mold spores, bacteria, and viruses — both on surfaces and in the air. For a full week before introducing the plants, the UVC-60 ran for 12 hours each day, moved to different positions daily to ensure complete coverage throughout the tent. ⚠️ Safety Note: UVC light is extremely effective, but it is not safe for direct human exposure. Never operate the device while anyone (or pets) are inside the room. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and UVC-rated safety glasses when handling or repositioning the unit. UVC light can cause skin and eye damage if used without proper precautions — always treat it with the same respect as any high-energy sterilization tool. This extra layer of preparation brings peace of mind and a true reset — a sterile, radiant environment ready for new life. Clean space, clean start, clean energy. That’s how the Nectar Drip begins. 🌱 Germination – The Ritual Begins We’ve just placed our seeds in a CannaKan germination system, using a mix of 80% purified water + 20% hydrogen peroxide to give them the perfect start. Now, we wait — patiently, excitedly — for the first signs of life. In a few days, we’ll share which of these golden beans pop open first. Every germination is a small miracle, and we’ll treat it like one. 💡 The Future of Grow – Lighting the Golden Path This journey unfolds under the glow of the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, powered and precisely controlled by the Nova 2C Pro system. We believe in balance between technology and intuition, and this LED setup gives us the spectrum and control to truly tune the grow — from seedling to harvest — in harmony with the plant’s rhythm. Expect future updates on the light settings, environment, and feedback as the plants develop. 🌾 The Foundation – Powered by PLAGRON A strong plant begins with a strong foundation. For this grow, we’re proud to be working with Plagron, one of the most trusted names in cultivation. Our soil base is the Plagron Bio LightMix — a lightly fertilized, organic substrate made from premium peat, perlite, and high-quality worm castings. Its airy structure ensures perfect root oxygenation and drainage, while its soft nutrient profile makes it ideal for seedlings and young plants. The Bio LightMix also supports a thriving micro-life within the soil — letting the roots and beneficial organisms work together naturally from day one. For feeding, we’ll be using Plagron Terra Grow during the vegetative phase — a fast-acting mineral base nutrient that provides essential macro- and micronutrients directly available to the plant. Once we enter flowering, we’ll transition to Terra Bloom, to fully unlock the potential of the Nectar Drip genetics. 🌿 The Nutrient Philosophy We believe in the synergy of organic and mineral — a balance between living soil energy and precise control. The Bio LightMix gives the roots life and breath, while the Terra line gives us accuracy and stability in feeding. Together, they allow the plants to express their full spectrum of flavor, structure, and potency — clean, consistent, and powerful. Later in this diary, we’ll explore the additives and boosters that will complement the foundation, fine-tuning this grow to perfection. But for now, it all begins here — in the rich, golden soil. ✨ Gratitude & Community This project isn’t just ours — it belongs to everyone who shares this passion. We want to thank Zamnesia, TICAL, Plagron, and Future of Grow for their innovation, creativity, and trust. Each partner brings something essential: art, science, light, and life. And of course — thank you, the community. To the long-time followers, the newcomers, the curious, the critics, the friends — you’re all welcome here. Every comment, every bit of love or challenge helps us grow stronger. This is a space for respect, passion, and learning — together. 🌟 The Mission This grow is a celebration of collaboration and creativity — where art meets earth. We’ll document every step, from germination to harvest, and later bring this entire journey to life through a YouTube episode that captures the spirit behind the Nectar Drip collaboration — the gold, the glow, the grind, and the gratitude. Stay tuned — the Nectar Drip begins now. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! 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 💚 #Zamnesia #TICAL #NectarDrip #GoldenGrow #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #CannaKan #GrowDiaries #SeedToGold 📸 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 A6000 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens. 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.

Even problemen gehad met de ph-waarde, waardoor er waarschijnlijk geen correcte voedingsopname was. Mijn planten werden lichter van kleur en sommige bladeren werden zelfs duidelijk geel tussen de nerven.😕 Ik ga er althans vanuit dat dit het probleem was, aangezien ik eventjes kraantjeswater gaf voor de cal en mag maar dit niet afzuurde. Vandaag testte ik de ph-waarde van het kraantjeswater met mijn nieuwe ph meter en kwam ik uit op 7.2, niet goed voor kokos dus. Ik schakelde meteen weer over naar regenwater, wat met voedingsstoffen in mooi uitkwam op ph 5.8👌 Hopend dat ze zich herstellen, update volgt. De groei gaat gelukkig mooi door!💚 Update 11 mei: 2 planten toonden magnesiumtekort door vorige ph problemen met kapotte meter. Je kan dit nog zien op de foto's tussen de nerven. Zwaar aangetaste blaadjes weggehaald. Intussen kokos verbetert met kieseriet (magnesium) en geen Epsomzout omdat ik dit een lapmiddel vind en liever op lange termijn werk. Na problemen met de ph en substraat gespoeld te hebben, nu ook weer voeding aan het opbouwen👊 Planten voor buiten in een kas, maar hier kreeg ik de luchtvochtigheid niet onder controle (bleef boven de 80 zitten). Ze zijn nu verhuisd naar hun nieuwe verblijf, mijn schuur waar ik altijd kweekte. Buitenkas was een test, maar is dus geen goede optie👎 Op de foto's en video kan je zien dat ze nu veel beter wonen🌱 Update 14/05 : Eerst laten herstellen van magnesiumtekort. Fimmen + LST gestart. Ik leg mijn planten graag plat💚

6/24/24 the videos of trichomes is from both purple octane and rs 11 Also based on trichomes. I should've counted the last week of veg as a flower week. So she's closer than we 6/25 we have clear cloudy and purple. Leaning towards her going till the end of this week. 6/28 we have about 70-80% cloudy and 20-25% amber. she's ready to go. she will be chopped tomorrow morning. 6/29 unless stated otherwise. happy growing yall, this plant is a fucking badge of honor with how beautiful she 6/28 I lied and chopped her probably 30 mins after I posted that lmao.

May 24, 2024 Day 99 This is the last week for these ladies. They have until the end of this week and then harvest no matter what. I'd much prefer to harvest them sooner, but I don't have space in my dry tent. It's only a 2x2 and the Tropicana Cookies just finished up and will be in there for about 7 days. Banana Purple Punch A needs a half gallon of water today. She's not done yet and she's all dried up. So I'll give her that half gallon of plain water today PHed to 6.1 and that's it. She should be dry again in a week. I'll be checking trichomes today as well. I'll update when I finish up. Banana Purple Punch B is amazing. She smells wonderful and now with the Tropicana Cookies out of the tent, her aroma can shine. Wow. I'll be checking trichomes as well today. She also finished up her reservoir but she's still pretty moist. It must have emptied yesterday. This may last the week. I'll need a few days for her to dry out as well. So I might have to add a bit more water. Maybe a quarter gallon? Just enough for her to last the rest of the week. I'll see how she is tomorrow. The environment is still a bit wonky. The humidity is still in the mid 50's% with the temp being around 73°. It's currently at 76° and 57% humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 56.7% VPD: 1.17 kPa May 25, 2024 It's rainy today and naturally, the humidity in my room is stupid high. So in the tent the humidity is back to 60%. I'll be opening the tent door again every couple of hours today. Banana Purple Punch A is starting to look like a hot mess. Tops are starting to flop over and there's a super weird fade going on. Leaves that just curled up and turned super dead yellow. Some of the leaves are showing purple, and the tops are getting purple hues. Still a bit of a mess. Banana Purple Punch B is getting more and more purple. Her leaves are starting to lighten up as well. We can certainly see the start of the fade. The tops have nearly all purple sugar leaves. The buds are still pretty green. I wonder how it works with this one. We shall see over the next 6 days. I might have to add a half gallon of water to her reservoir. She's already a bit too dry to last the week. So I'll do that later today I think. Maybe first thing tomorrow. Harvest time is 6 days away now. Both ladies are looking super close to being done. Hell, I may even go past the ideal time by a couple days. That's perfectly fine. I could use a good sedative. The environment is back to being an absolute mess. The temp is at 75°, which is fine. But the humidity is back up to 60%. Hopefully I can get the humidity to drop a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.1° RH: 55.1% VPD: 1.30 kPa May 26, 2024 These 2 are shaping up to be some heavy yielders. Both have massive buds and are on their way to being fully done. Another 5 days I think and they will be ready for harvest. However, I may have to keep them in there for a few extra days. The Tropicana Cookies in the dry tent are taking a bit longer to dry than I anticipated. Banana Purple Punch A looks great. I ended up using a piece of a plant tie to prop up one of the most leaning tops. Looks great now. Much more light penetration to the lowers. Banana Purple Punch B is absolutely amazing right now. MASSIVE buds that weigh a whole lot. She finally has a distinct purple look to her. And it's just getting more and more purple. When she is done, I believe she will have some beautiful foliage and lots of dark purple leaves. She got about 1/3 of a gallon of water today to the reservoir. She was dry and she has much too long to go before she should be that dry. The leaves are all starting to turn a bright green and fading into deep purples and yellows with orange. Fall foliage indeed. I'll also be doing a full defoliation in 3 days I think. I want to clear as much foliage as I can before wet trimming. It doesn't seem as though wet trimming will be all that bad. There's sugar leaves, but they are big instead of plentiful. So it should be pretty quick. Drying may pose an issue. If the humidity keeps up like this, I'll have a lot of trouble keeping it below 62% in the dry tent. We have a few days left anyway, so maybe it will go back down by then. The light is the same. I did take the DLI today and the average is about 40 mol/m²/d, so that's fine. I'd much rather it be closer to 36 mol/m²/d, but then it would interrupt the Sour Diesels in the tent that just started to flower. The environment is really off today. It's super humid out and it's showing and killing my good vibes. The temp is a bit low at 73°. I would prefer it to be 75° during the day. It helps with all the plants in the tent. Oh well not won't stay low for long. It should start to creep up later today. The humidity is still super high at 63% today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 60.9% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 27, 2024 Both ladies got a half gallon in their reservoirs today. Both were way too dry for now, sona half gallon should last them at least the night. Just 4 more days and we can harvest. Unless this humidity doesn't let up, then I have to wait even longer for the Tropicana Cookies to dry. AND risk mold! Damn it! Banana Purple Punch A is starting to get floppy. I hooked some of the tops to each other so they will stand. A couple outer branches were starting to fall as well, so the were also tied up. Hopefully that solves the issue for the next 4 days. Maybe 5 or even 6 now. Too long in my opinion. She doesn't have much in terms of fading but it's starting at least. Her leaves are all messed up. So I'm not bothering with the fade honestly. If she fades, she fades. I'll be defoliating in 2 days anyway. Then wet trimming, so the leaves aren't really a thing to bother with now. She also has lowers with white pistils. They are developed, but the pistils are still white. Those are going to change in. Matter of days. Banana Purple Punch B is shaping up to be the best plant of this run. She's actually the shortest, but has the best structure and the most solid buds and a lot of them. She's also doing quite well in her final days. Her leaves are turning dark purple with the lowers turning bright green. She got a quarter gallon of water yesterday and drank it up almost immediately. I think I'll have to keep her watered for the next couple of days. She will certainly dry out quickly when I stop watering, so I think she will only need a couple days to fully dry out. Currently, she is about 34% soil moisture content. Not bad at all. It might go up to 45% with the half gallon, but no higher. I haven't done trichomes in a few days. I may get a video in today or tomorrow. Both plants could use a good viewing. Not that it matters, as I have to schedule my harvest, regardless of doneness. But we'll check them for science. The environment is back to being the bane of my existence. Seriously, it's driving me insane. So the humidity is WAY up at 65% with the temp being around 74°. It's horrible. I really don't want to keep opening the tent. It just takes away precious light space. The average night temp was also high at 70° with the humidity still being up at 64% I have no idea how these ladies haven't gotten bid rot or mold. Maybe it's because it's like a wind tunnel in there. Exhaust on full power, two 6 inch oscillating clip fans facing each other. There's no space untouched by some sort of airflow. It's not a heavy wind, but like a light breeze. Update: I finally took some trichome videos and was a bit surprised at what I found. Both plants have tons of cloudy barely any clear and a good amount of amber. The extra 4 to 6 days may be a bit too long. We shall see. Some of the lowers still have white pistils and only have amber trichomes on the leaves. So there's time for them to finish up. We'll see how this works out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 60.8% VPD: 1.11 kPa May 28, 2024 Very late entry today. I was quite busy wet trimming Banana Purple Punch A for the chop. Yep, you heard it. The chop. One of the Tropicana Cookies finished drying today and I thought it was time to harvest her. So she got a full wet trim and is hanging in the dry tent. She weighs in at a total of 22.26 oz wet hang. She has heavy buds, so the weight retention should be impressive. Maybe 5 oz? Maybe 4. Not bad. Banana Purple Punch B will be harvested when the last Tropicana Cookies is done. That should be in about 4 to 5 days. Currently I have her moved to the back of the tent with the Sour Diesels taking over the rest. She looks great. More and more purple. The environment is still crazy. Super high humidity and nothing I can do about it. I've tried AC, no AC and just started the heater. Something has to work. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 63.2% VPD: 0.98 kPa May 29, 2024 Nothing to do today. Banana Purple Punch A is on her first day of drying and I expect it to take 10 to 14 days based on the current environment in the dry tent. I did put a dehumidifier in there to help clear it out. It won't be permanent. Just until I can get the humidity back down to 60%. Then it will come out and go back in the 3x3. This will then help regulate the humidity for Banana Purple Punch B. Banana Purple Punch B looks great! She will be harvested whenever the dry tent has a free spot. Should be in about 4 to 6 days, unless the humidity drops below 60% and then maybe 3, but I doubt it. I also finally was able to take her off the risers and it worked a charm. The Sour Diesels in the tent aren't being overshadowed anymore and she is at a perfect light distance. With the drop of the risers, the canopy DLI is now 38 mol/m²/d. Over the next few days, it should make the buds even more purple and dense. The 3x3 environment is around 63% and at 73°. Still super high. The dehumidifier should start working soon. We will see a small drop in humidity. Maybe a jump in temp, but I need to get the humidity down somehow. The temp is nice and low for this lady, but not great for the other plants. I'd rather it be around 75° or even better 74.5°. Because I was able to remove the risers from Banana Purple Punch B, I finally could lower the light for the Sour Diesels. The DLI is at 38 mol/m²/d with the power at 60%. Looking great! Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.3° RH: 63.2% VPD: 1.01 kPa May 30, 2024 Lots to do today. Well, this afternoon. I finally pulled the final Tropicana Cookies out of the dry tent and now it's ready for Banana Purple Punch B. I may actually leave her in the dark for a day or 2 just under her sister plant that is currently drying. Banana Purple Punch A is enjoying her second day of drying. It's actually a bit dry in the tent now. A good day out. But a bit too dry for a solid week. It should increase when I put her sister in the tent. She still has a good way to go. Maybe another 8 days if I can push it that far. Banana Purple Punch B will be getting fully defoliated this afternoon. Then I think I'll put her in the dry tent for a day or 2. A nice dark period to stress her out a bit. Not to mention it will increase the humidity a bit in there as well. I'll do a full wet trim in a day or 2 when she is done with the dark period. It should also give her time to fully dry out her container. And give a final push in trichome production. I'm not going to bother with the environment today. It won't matter until tomorrow. Then I'll get dark tent data. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 57.1% VPD: 1.13 kPa
