I'm loving this strain so far she is very short in stature and takes to training very well the structure I'm liking ...she was bent around some more this week and recovered very well. The girl will be continued with the trading for at least another 4 weeks before the flip over to flower . I'm getting excited to see how she will look in another week just such good genetics ...cheers fam

🌸 GrowDiaries Update — Week 11 (Week 7 Flower) Permanent Marker Pheno #1 & #2 — Flower Week 7 Here we are again, my dear growers — week 11 from seed, and what a journey it’s been! Our two beautiful phenos continue to show their individual personalities: Pheno #1, the tall dreamer, still reaching for the moon; and Pheno #2, the compact queen, steady and strong in her deep greens. Both are truly thriving, expressing themselves with grace and power. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Now From the very first sprout to now, this grow has been a journey of observation, learning, and connection. We’ve seen perfect germination, vigorous vegetative growth, stunning branching, and a seamless transition into flower. We’ve tested light, temperature, airflow, and nutrition — keeping everything balanced with the organic Aptus program (Regulator, Top Booster, and CalMag), letting the soil and biology do their magic. ✨ This Week’s Focus — Trichomes, Terpenes & Color Explosion At week 7 of flower, nature begins to paint. Trichomes are swelling and clouding — a forest of frost starting to shimmer under the lights. Terpenes are coming alive, with rich, layered aromas filling the room: sweet, pungent, spicy, earthy. You can almost taste what’s to come. Flavonoids and anthocyanins are starting to express beautifully, especially on Pheno #1, which is showing the first touches of purple hues. Meanwhile, Pheno #2 remains loyal to her deep emerald tones — dense, resinous, and classic. ☀️ A Note on Light & Albino Tops Our big mama (Pheno #1) is stretching so close to the LED panel that her top is showing a touch of albinism — a bright, pale glow caused by intense light exposure. It’s not a problem; in fact, it adds a touch of uniqueness to her look. These light-stressed tops can sometimes develop special trichome patterns, and it’s fascinating to observe. A gentle reminder that even perfection has its quirks. 🌡️ Garden Conditions Temperature: High but stable with the AC in control. Humidity: Balanced despite the season’s challenges. Airflow: Excellent — a full dance of air and photons. Health: Exceptional. No bud rot, no major stress, just pure thriving energy. 🌍 Community & Gratitude The Dognabis Cup is in full bloom! Packages have arrived, diaries are opening, and the community is alive with creativity and inspiration. Let’s keep sharing, learning, and lifting each other up — because to grow is to share, and to bloom is to connect. Massive gratitude to our sponsors and supporters: Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds,the cannakan and TrolMaster — and of course, to GrowDiaries, to the growers, the dreamers, the lovers, and yes, even the haters. You’re all part of the story, and that’s what makes it real. 💚 🌼 What’s Next? Week 8 ahead — trichomes will turn cloudy, aromas will peak, and the girls will start signaling when they’re ready for their grand finale. We’ll talk harvest timing, resin maturity, and flushing techniques as we approach the end of this beautiful cycle. Until then — let the garden sing. 🌿 **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.

12/17/2021 They are growing well,#1 will be eliminated she is a runt, and way to far behind her sisters in growth, so culling her tomorrow. Ps. #1 sprang back to life! No sign of sex yet but soon I hope, as I was hoping for a short veg. More pics of #2-#8 in a.m. Pretty cool to see plants know when lights going to out, and leaves look lower (drooping) about an hour before light shuts off !. Getting ready for (sleep)? Pics 1-8 at lights on and leaves starting to reach for the sky (waking up) Plants are about 31 days old and should start to show signs of sex.

*****Week 14 growth – March 6 to 12, 2021 – Week 5 flower ****** These girls are certainly different from one another. Pheno 1 has a more bushy appearance and Pheno 2 is lighter in color and more bud swelling at the tops. Expect to see some nice colors come out in #2😃 In the end......it’s about the smoke😂👍🔥 Bud Fusion being introduced this week. Into the last phase of feeding during flower now. Nitrogen is continued to be reduced as its late flower. Keeping up the feeding ppm this week as we are getting to the end. May be pushing them a little more than I should but finding out how they react for next run. Still continuing to play with the light intensity and seeing how the girls react to my environment conditions when pushed harder. Could have backed off and stayed with 100, 300, 600, 900 PAR levels at the different stages but I have trying to go a little higher in the late stages and going over 1,000 PAR. Little more detail….. Mar 6/21, Day 29 - Dry out day - Changed light cycle to 11/13 today to help with light intensity and reducing DLI. - Light power reduced to 425 watts Mar 7/21, Day 30 - Keeping up the feeding but reducing nitrogen. - feeding with micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 1, B Storm – 2, S Storm – 2.5, Bud Fusion 0.15gr/l, Terp – 1.5, Jet Fuel – 0.5, Rezin 1 - 1150ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 8/21, Day 31 - Watering with 2L feed from yesterday and 16L plain water - Over shot the pH - 400ppm and 5.9pH Mar 9/21, Day 32 - Feeding again with Grow – 0.5, Micro – 1, Bloom – 1.5, Carbs – 1, Magnifical – 1 - Didn’t add many of the supplements - 875ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 10/21, Day 33 - Middle of the week and just giving some enzymes today - Enzymes – 1.5ml - 300ppm and 6.1pH - 4L Mar 11/21, Day 34 - Microbes again today - Tap water with Jet Fuel – 1ml, Terpinator – 2ml, Nature’s Candy – 1.5ml, Rezin – 1ml, Ultimate B+ - 0.5ml, Recharge – 1tsp/gal - 800ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 12/21, Day 35 - Dry out day - Been feed a couple of times this week so work with ¾ strength next week.

The plants look very healthy and they have big and dense buds , ill havr to wait anothe week or cuple days until harvest even tho it may be a bit soon for it. One of the plants has started to root its top head of the buds , but i soupose its because of the temp . The air is getting dry cuz of the hot weather even tho im using 250w-400w lights on them . Trichromes look preety good and the bud is frosty . Some of the plants are not ready yet for some reason so i think i have to give them a bit more time

So we’ve come to a slow down on the stretch and they’ve started to work n creating flowers, I defoliated about 10-15% of the fan leaves and removed stems that had less vigor or was too under the canopy and wouldn’t of created any good flowers as these plants are a whopping near 50” so proud to be a loyal Martian! The lights are so powerful and provide the plants with the power of the sun ☀️

Harvest Report – Cutting The cutting has now reached harvest time, and the final impressions are very positive. Compared to Phenotype #1, the aroma of the cutting is noticeably sweeter—a more pronounced fruity profile with less of the earthiness or pine noted in other phenotypes. The buds are dense and sticky, reflecting the successful flowering process despite lighter nutrient feeding. Key Observations: Aroma: Sweet and fruity, an improvement or variation on #1. Bud Quality: Dense structure and well-formed trichomes indicate good resin production. Nutrient Management: The lighter feeding schedule led to some yellowing leaves early, but the plant still delivered a satisfying yield. Performance: Overall, the cutting performed as expected, showing consistent traits and no issues with hermaphroditism despite being feminized. This confirms that previous issues were likely due to the genetics of other plants rather than environmental factors.

12 day dry @ 58-63RH & 60-66F in blacked out dry tent | Glass Jar Cure with Inert gas Early taste test and I actually love this bud, is the best in house strain I've grown so far & the second Platinum cross. Flavorful Funky Sweet Orange cream cereal terps, the texture of the bud is buttery smooth, fluffy and pink/orange color when ground up. Bud has deeply potent effects that is IMO the perfect amount of heavy on the body but still euphoric and creative.. it makes you calm and happy! is checking off so many boxes not even cured, just smelling this batch makes a true connoisseur grin and bag appeal is insane

Many signs of flower but calling this week veg. This has been such a simple grow. Very light food and water intake. Keeps the res nice and stable. I just raise the lights a couple inches every few days. For topping, alternate between 100% solution and plain water too keep my PPMs up.

Impressive guys, is outstanding the root growth, this little pot of 1,5L only lasted 3 days, was already root bound and I had to moved them to the final pot, as you can see I left quite a lot of space for the future top dressing. She looks slightly smaller then the wedding cake even if she started bigger and stronger but the early topping slow down her a lot. She’ll recovery I am sure. Enjoy fellow growers. ♥️☮️

Transplant into 1 gallon plastic pot mycorrhizae for less transplant shock with coco coir had to buffer a brick for 18 hours submerged in calcium after couple days went organic for less of a headache of wasting money on nutrients to make it simple and effective control system 1 plant is showing deficiency working on bring it back to optimal used compost tea with silica , fish fertilizer Neptune , soil recharge every week ph to 5.8-6.0 1 gallon 1 cup water per plant bigger plants get 2 cups want less run off after 2 week to get the calcium out from the buffer solution added 2-84 geia green and 4-4-4 1 tsp per plant of each dry amendment water every day so coco doesn’t get dry roots are healthy on the bottom of gallon pot you see new growth soon thinking of transplanting for better results during flowing stage currently photo and auto soon cross breed some of them during flower for new future projects ,

Esa familia, finalizamos la 3 semana de floración la verdad que poco cambios en la flor, en verdad odio la autoflorecientes en indoor, me parece que son mejor opción os un Exterior o un balcón pero, ante todo os tengo que mostrar la experiencia con autos también y que mejor genética que la misty gorilla autofloreciente de Zambezaseeds. Y es que entre la variedad y la alimentación que estamos aportando, gracias a AgroBeta están respondiendo bastante bien, en las próximas semanas imagino que empezaré a notar diferencias ya. Ph regulado en 6.2 temperatura entorno a los 26.5 grados y la humedad está en 50%. Sufro de una pequeña placa de mosca del sustrato, a estas alturas poco afectará pero vaya, que sepan que con el calor del verano pues también sufrí algún problema respecto a esto anterior. Me despido entre buenos humos, hasta la próxima semana.
