Week 2: The Growth Phase Begins The germination phase is officially behind us, and it’s time to kick off the vegetative growth phase. I’ve uploaded a video that showcases the entire start of this grow diary, from germination to where we are now. 🌱📹 Be sure to check it out for a full recap! This week marks a critical step in the journey: Pheno Selection. I’ll carefully evaluate the three seedlings and choose the one that will move forward in this competition. So far, the plants are neck and neck, but slight differences are starting to emerge. By the end of the week, the strongest contender will take center stage. In addition to the video, I’ll be sharing photos of the seedlings as they settle into their new phase of life. Stay tuned for updates on their progress and my final decision. dein-onlineheadshop.de/ Use my referral code 420Shop at checkout to get a discount on your purchase.

Starting to see really nice bud development this week. The smell is really starting to increase now as well. Very little to do bar some defoliation this week. ✌️

No food until I figure out what this leaf curl is. A couple of weeks left I'm thinking so flush week after. Flushed this week as I thought the curl was salt however still happening :(

3-30-20 Yummy! That's all I can say when I open up the tent. Will up their feed strength next res change since I think they could use a bit more nutrients. 4-4-20 Week 5 coming to an end and things are looking good and smelling better! Frost is starting to pile on these girls nicely. One thing I did notice on one of the Cali Sunsets is that some of the top most leaves are starting to turn purple from the backside. Don't know if its the strain or maybe a P Def? We'll have to wait and see I guess

🌸 WEEK 5 FLOWER – “Aiming for the Moon” Hello, beautiful people! It’s been a busy stretch, but I’m finally back with another exciting update from our Permanent Marker girls — and wow, what a sight they are right now. Both phenos are truly stunning in their own unique ways. • Pheno #1 is aiming for the moon — nearly 2 meters tall, stretching with grace, and starting to show her first flashes of color. The top buds are swelling, pistils glowing bright white, and the early hues are giving us a glimpse of what’s to come. • Pheno #2 stays more compact around 120 cm, with equally gorgeous bud formation — dense, balanced, and full of life. We did a light defoliation this week to open the canopy, helping airflow and light penetration reach deeper into the structure. The goal is simple: give the photons space to dance and the air room to breathe. The results are already visible — the girls look happier, more open, and vibrant. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Conditions are stable now that the AC is up and running (finally!). Temperatures have dropped to a comfortable range, and both phenos seem to love it. We continue with our Aptus Holland organic program, using: • Regulator • Top Booster • CalMag Boost The pellets in the soil are still doing their silent magic, slowly releasing nutrients and keeping the system balanced. 💫 Bud Development This week, trichomes are starting to form more visibly, and the white hairs are shining under the lights. The buds are stacking up beautifully, especially on Pheno #1 — her size and structure promise something truly special. The aroma is beginning to intensify, that sweet, deep tone of the Permanent Marker genetics revealing itself layer by layer. 🌍 A Quick Recap From germination in the CannaKan, through the lush veg powered by Aptus nutrition, under the ThinkGrow and Future of Grow LEDs, this grow has been a journey of precision, patience, and passion. Now, at week 5 flower, we’re officially entering the heavy bloom phase — where the artistry of the genetics truly begins to express itself. 🏆 Dognabis Cup Update The Dognabis Cup is officially in full bloom too! The welcome boxes have reached growers worldwide, and we’re seeing the first unboxings and diaries popping up — what a beautiful sight! To all participants: good luck and have fun! Remember, the more detailed and complete your diary, the better your chances of winning. This Cup is about sharing, learning, and growing together — and I’m so proud to see it finally taking shape. 🌱 What’s Next Next week, we’ll be looking for more color expression, denser stacking, and the early glisten of trichome frost. I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the temperature balance as the buds pack on size. Huge thanks to everyone who follows this journey — the sponsors, the community, the growers, the dreamers, the haters, the lovers — every one of you makes this space alive. Until next week, stay lifted and stay curious. 🌿✨ To grow is to share, to bloom is to connect — and through every cup, seed, and story, we keep the garden alive. **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone **The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

Drunken Bitch Slap is doing okay. Nobtrwining this week. I had to neem oil treat everything. I had a russet mite issue in neighboring grow room. Figured I would treat everything in vegging to be safe. She got her first solution change today. Not much else has changed. She is doing well under the Hortibloom Solux 350 light. Thank you Aeque Genetics, and Hortibloom. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 57 the plant continues to grow without a problem I can see there are continue to stretch I used painters tape around the branches that I supercrop in order to give them a little bit support and allow nutrients to continue to flow through the branch the plant has been recovering very well from high stress training and I'm looking forward to see how this girl is going to turn out . I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Day 78 from seed touching soil. #1 was eaten by bud rot, really heavy, buds all in dirt, she was very low, overstreched from lack of light and water, so went all to bin. Two plants were worthless, last hope on late one . #2 is still going, shows preflowers, big plant. Happy Growing !!!

HOLY CANNOLI! seriously man these things won't give me a freaking break. the good news is that I think chalking my first journal up to a failure led me to flip sooner and dang are these ladies tall! I'm talking WNBA tall lol. Don't hate me but I had no choice with the room's size and learning from the mistakes last time this plant will be under this first SCRO for up to week 3 of flower lol. It gets too dang big otherwise and even though it may be dumb I thought it best to try and I ended up breaking a lot of limbs haha. I taped up some though and I figured this would be the best learning experience in the opposite direction to see just how rough I can be with Vegged plant being flipped. I'm also going to be on top of nutrients better and get that Canna PK in there before the top shooter, booster, and bud Xl. I also have the RH on lock a lot better with a bigger drain bucket for the dehumidifier so it can run continuously with so many plants. I also decided to have some fun and bring the SCROG out and work under the canopy to get something bigger. I do regret the way I overlapped a lot of colas in the corners but it can't be helped with their height. Wish me luck and yell at me yall lol. Also, does anyone have a good example of what a bud should really look like throughout flower. a pheno that matches mine really.

The girls have basically exploded this week! They were drinking a ton and have responded really well to the steady increase in nutrients. With the room being basically self sustaining, it’s been a lot less work. Yesterday was the second round of defoliation and because this is my first time getting this far, I decided to be pretty moderate. There’s a few plants I took quite a bit off as an experiment and they seem to be doing great! The guy at my local hyrdo store recommended GH Floralicious Plus for flavor and smell, so I decided to try it out and this is some pretty potent stuff. After their first feeding of the Floralicious they are smelling delicious! The one plant furthest into flower is starting to show some fade in the lower leaves, she will certainly be done before the rest. She has a very sweet and sour aroma, especially if she gets rustled around a little bit. I’m stoked for the rest of flower and seeing their progress. Also I haven’t seen a fungus gnat in weeks so those yellow sticky traps are a must.

Just started them all on the Green Buzz Liquid Organics and will run it the rest of the way. I'm not going to add much to the line just some calmag, enzymes maybe terpinator I have to experiment with it a little bit. The first feed went extremely well the plants instantly reacted within an hour after the feed especially the next day. The additives in this line barely raised PPM at all which I liked. It also doesnt stink like other liquid organics I've used. These are doing good the big one seems to be flowering faster than the first run from seed with this cut. The second one is still completely untrained and the 3rd one is the weakling. Day 21 of bloom. Added in a shot of the feed chart I'm using from G Buzz, white board is where I record the run off values especially during the flush👍

-06.04.2025 Today is the day. After a thorough examination of the trichomes, I decided to harvest the two Blueberry Automatics. After a total of eleven weeks. The wet weight of the flowers of Blueberry#1 = 77 grams, Blueberry#2 = 74 grams. The flowers are now hung out to dry and will be weighed again in 7days. -11.04.2025 After 6 days the Blueberry Automatics are dry. The branches broke directly when bent with a nice cracking sound. The dry weight of both plants together is 34g. The flowers were stored in jars for curing with a humidity packet from IntegraTM and a hydrometer. Total Time: 1879,36h Total Energy: 326,30kWh 1kWh: 0,30€ Energy Cost total: 97,89€ 💚

Gave her a haircut at the beginning of the week, buds are fattening up quick. Im seeing noticeable changes daily. Increased light on time by 3 hours to 23 hours on. Feed has changed with the addition of Cycos swell (2.5ml/L) and Supa Stiky (2ml/L) and removal of potash plus. All to aid in the development of the phattest buds possible 😁 End of Week: Noticed rust spots on some fan leaves ref grow question. Gave her a flush of PH'D water and Kleanse as it was time to anyway dialed the Bloom A + B back a little to 2ml/L. Let's see how she picks up. Just starting to notice frosting on some of the sugar leaves.

🗓️ Week 10 – Flower Week 6 (MAC n Cheese only) 📉 Nutrient management: At one point this week, MAC n Cheese showed elevated runoff EC values up to 2.2, signaling salt buildup. Through adjusted watering and reduced feed strength, the runoff was successfully brought down to a stable ~1.6–1.7. 🌿 Plant status: She looks vital and healthy – deep green foliage with no signs of fresh deficiencies or toxicity. Responding well to the current input EC of 1.0–1.3. 📝 Summary: Salt levels were close to the edge earlier in the week, but MAC n Cheese recovered well with a more balanced nutrient approach. Bloom development is now progressing evenly. Next week: Switching from Big Bud to Overdrive.
