My Soaptini plant is still pretty small, but it's got these beautiful, unique leaves that I absolutely love. I've noticed some of the new growth is coming in a little light, but I'm not too worried about it. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it develops. It's definitely a slow starter, but I've got a feeling it's going to be a real showstopper once it gets going. This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

UPLOADING

Decided after seeing the improvement in the Tangerine Dream to continue with the new feeding schedule, which will include a flush in a few days. She got pretty burnt from the salt based nutes, but her flowers have thickened up considerable over the last few days so I will try to get as much out of her as possible. NCH x SB trichomes are finally beginning to fill out with milk, and several sugar leaves have already gone 30% amber. One more week of flushing and I think I’ll chop her down. Feed pH 6.5, EC 0.9. Flush pH 6.2, EC 0.3.

Harvested BB2 and GG2 on day 84 with mostly cloudy/milky trichomes and scattered amber because I prefer the Sativa daytime buzz. I think these two are further along because they showed the deficiencies. Both were flushed twice within a week and chopped with a dry pot. Last nutrients were day 73. Nothing but PH 6.4 water since day 76. I expect to harvest BB1 and GG1 at around day 92, checking trichomes everyday. I'm guessing the yield will be greater for the second two. Will post harvest pics and videos for each set of two plants after drying and getting dry weights for each plant.

The final week for the cough. She has had an easy week and will spend her last 7 days on just water and some humic acid/growzyme. I'll go to just water for her last feed which I expect to be on Friday. Her run off is still a 1.4 s she has food in her substrate. Not much more to say. She's fat with probably the most dense top I've grown to date. It's like there are at least 3 layers of flower growth over the buds with a fourth layer coming in, in the form of some foxtails. Can't really explain it but trust me it's dense.. super sweet smell also and very sticky to the touch. She has chewed through most of her fan leaves and I will remove any old ones through the week to aid with the trim/harvest Thanks for passing through. Grow well 👍🏼💚🌿🇬🇧.

Thanks to your advices guys, the plants survived the heat wave ! I had to reduce the light time due the hot temperatures outside, now that it's done and the temperatures back to normal, the light schedule is back to 18h/6h. I misted them frequently and I can tell how well it works, the leaves are way less curled up, the plants are still growing fast. I now mist them a little bit when the light turns off. I started LST on day 17 and re-adjusted it on day 20, I think I'm doing it well but I could be wrong, comment and tell what I can do better ! I only water them once a week, I wait for the soil to be very dry, like 1cm deep or even more. I noticed some pistils on the biggest plants, I guess they're already pre-flowering Couldn't take much photos of this week, I had a lot of work and the light is on when I'm back home, I made a short video with lights on, I also heard music stimulate plants, so I tried lol

Beautiful pheno of Ak420 by seedstockers same smell as her sister, the other 2 plants of this same ak420 package, let's see how this wonderful lady keeps developing, I think I could have train this lady just like this but I should have gave her a few more weeks of growth before changing the light cycle.

This week I flipped the switch to 12/12

I love growing its a big passion of mine , and the fact that GD exists makes everything so much better, one can interact with others and enjoy and learn from each others. Thank you all growers love and keep them green <3 <3 <3

Bubba Kush Pre 98 is an easy plant to grow. She gave me no hassles or worries even in a warmer climate than she would like. The leaves are a dark green color naturally. Yield wasnt much, I am waiting for buds to dry and cure to provide the dried weight. I did not feed them any nutrients. The one got so dense that I had to move it indoors to avoid bud rot - im almost convinced it was an autoflower and they made a mistake at the seedbank because it was short and flowered out of nowhere. Outdoor buds were sundried - to lower THC for novice and paranoid smokers, I tried the smoke and it was a very pleasant high - removed anxiety, stress, overthinking, and relaxed my body. Perfect.

✂️🍯 Tical x Zamnesia — Nectar Drip | Drying & Trimming Report 🍯✂️ And… we are back again 😄 Yes — we are dividing the reports once more. At this point it is probably becoming part of the diary itself, but honestly, there is simply too much happening during these runs to compress everything into one giant update without losing important moments along the way. So thank you for the patience. And welcome back to the next chapter of our Nectar Drip journey: the drying, the trimming, the resin collecting, the temple balls, and the beginning of the cure. 🌱 Quick Recap For anyone arriving only now: This run was grown from seed under 12/12 lighting from the beginning. No long vegetative phase. No giant training sessions. No massive shaping. Just letting the genetics express themselves naturally while observing: - structure, - morphology, - resin production, - flower behavior, - and overall cultivar personality. Last week reflected the harvest itself: - trichome maturity, - fading colors, - hanging branches, - macro photography, - stem structure, - and final harvest observations. One of the smaller plants was frozen immediately after harvest for future washing and extraction work, which we will still cover in a dedicated future update once we complete the washing process properly. But this week? This week belongs to the dry flowers. And honestly… these girls became something beautiful. Drying Process The flowers dried for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - approximately 18–20°C - around 60% RH - with the first couple of days closer to 45% RH to help release initial surface moisture safely This part matters far more than many people realize. Drying is not simply: “waiting until the plant becomes dry.” It is controlled moisture migration. The outside of the flower always dries first. The inside stays wetter longer. And the goal is slowing that process down enough for: - chlorophyll breakdown, - smoother smoke, - terpene preservation, - proper moisture redistribution, - and stable curing afterward. Dry too fast? The outside crisps while the inside traps moisture. Dry too slowly? Risk increases: - mold, - anaerobic conditions, - terpene degradation, - unstable cure. These Nectar Drip girls dried beautifully. Dense flowers. Excellent structure. No rushed drying. No hay smell. No collapse. Just slow clean progression. And when the branches finally gave that satisfying “click” instead of bending… we knew it was time 😄 ✂️ Trimming Time So: gloves on, trim bin ready, studio lights running, music playing quietly in the background, Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always 😄 …and branch by branch, the process began. We trimmed entirely by hand using Zamnesia curved-point scissors. And honestly, these scissors became one of our favorite trimming tools. The pointed curved tip allows: - deeper precision, - cleaner access between calyxes, - easier sugar leaf removal, - less accidental flower damage, - and better control overall on dense compact flowers. Especially important on cultivars like this one. Because Nectar Drip became DENSE. Not airy. Not fluffy. Proper compact greasy flowers. The kind that fight back while trimming 😄 Every branch had to be broken down carefully: - separating buds individually, - removing excess leaf material, - preserving flower shape, - protecting trichome coverage, - and trying not to spend half the trimming session glued to the scissors. And yes… the resin production here was honestly ridiculous. 🖤 Resin Everywhere This cultivar is oily. Not just frosty visually. Oily physically. The gloves became coated quickly. The scissors accumulated thick dark resin constantly. The trim bin slowly filled with golden material underneath. And every few minutes we found ourselves scraping resin from: - gloves, - scissors, - fingers, - and tools. That sticky dark material eventually became beautiful little temple balls. And honestly? The way this resin behaved says a lot about the quality of the cultivar. Some resin stays dry and crumbly. This one softened almost instantly with minimal heat. Just body temperature alone was enough to: - soften, - bind, - darken, - and become workable. Extremely greasy resin. Extremely rich trichome expression. The little temple balls became: dark, soft, sticky, shiny, and incredibly aromatic. Beautiful medicine already before even curing properly. 🏆 Final Dry Numbers And now the final flower numbers for the dried plants: 🌱 337.3 grams dry flower Plus: the frozen material resting in the freezer for future washing and extraction work. And honestly? Very happy with these numbers. Especially considering: - the quality, - density, - resin production, - flower structure, - and the overall level of expression these girls delivered. This was not “big yield but average flower.” This was genuinely high-quality medicine. 📦 Storage & Beginning The Cure After trimming: the flowers were placed into glass jars for curing. The temple balls also rest curing slowly inside glass. And now another important phase begins: time. Because curing changes everything. Terpenes settle. Moisture equalizes. Harshness fades. Aromas deepen. Smoke smooths out. The cultivar slowly reveals its final personality. And honestly? This Nectar Drip already smells incredible. Sweet. Creamy. Fruity. Almonds.Dark. Warm. Slightly candy-like. With this deep resinous backend that keeps evolving every day. The room smelled unbelievable during trimming. At some moments it genuinely felt like opening: fruit candy, fuel, cream, and warm resin all at once. Very unique profile. Very memorable. 📸 Documentation & Studio Sessions Of course, we documented almost everything: - trimming time-lapses, - resin collection, - temple ball formation, - close-up flower shots, - drying branches, - sticky gloves, - macro details, - cinematic studio moments, - and behind-the-scenes chaos 😄 Because honestly… these moments matter too. A grow diary becomes more than just showing finished buds after enough weeks. It becomes documentation: - of process, - mistakes, - lessons, - atmosphere, - obsession, - patience, - and passion. And this run definitely carried all of that. ⏳ What Comes Next? Next update will probably become the final chapter: - curing review, - smoke report, - terpene evolution, - effect profile, - overall strain impressions, - and our honest final thoughts about this Tical x Zamnesia collaboration after living with the medicine properly. And honestly… we are extremely excited for that one. Because this cultivar already feels very special. 🙏 Final Thanks And as always… thank you. To Zamnesia. To Tical. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To Lumiflora. To the gear. To the platform. To the supporters. To the silent followers. To the OGs still here since day one. To the curious new visitors. To the people learning quietly in the background. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the haters too 😄 And to everybody who stopped scrolling long enough to spend even a few moments here with us. That alone deserves gratitude. This collaboration genuinely feels special. And honestly… I still feel like Nectar Drip has one more beautiful chapter left before this journey fully ends. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 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 A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

FERMAKOR KOH Extraction – Update Last time I said the batch would be done in 3–4 days, but I made a last-moment change. I added fresh cannabis leaves, branches, and pistils to help buffer the extra KOH, fix the PK imbalance, and see if I can bring it into line without using citric acid. Reaction so far: greens are breaking down fast, adding nitrogen while soaking up some of the excess alkalinity. Smell: strong ammonia, but not rotten — typical of proteins and chlorophyll being stripped out. Texture: slurry has darkened, foam is down, liquid looks stable. Plan: let it sit a couple more days stirring, then check if it’s ready to use and use some citric acid in case the pH is still to high and "force" it ready.

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

This is my second growth in a suitcase, I got 30 grams of dry flowers from the first growth, but this growth together with FastBuds is obviously much better than the first one :) although the girl's leaves burn from the light, which is only 10-15 cm from the flowers, but the girl copes with it perfectly :) good luck to everyone.

Big week here. Got the girls transplanted to their 7 gallon pots. First time with pots this big. Gonna really let them grow. Got a little water with BT and mycorrhiza.

Some Sunday plant porn 😍 I'm just going to flush for 2 weeks from tomorrow or Tuesday and hopefully they will be ready 😬 skywalker is looking so good now. If this is only my second ever run imagine the potential in 10 runs time 🤷‍♂️🏼 I've always knew my fingers were good at something 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😏🤣💚

Day 50

The branching beast is doing well, but it's time again to bring her in a good shape. Also I'll set the LST new cause of the fast growing one of the branches started splitting up. So see ya next week when I maybe repot her in a bigger pot and cleaned her up!
