# GodFather OG by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🌱👔 ## Germination Week | An Offer a Seed Can't Refuse Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Every grow begins with a seed. But some seeds arrive carrying a little more reputation than others. And when the name on the package says GodFather OG, well... expectations naturally enter the room before the plant even emerges from the soil. 😄 Before we begin, a small explanation. With the current GrowDiaries photo limitations, I've decided to document each phenotype in its own dedicated diary. Instead of grouping multiple plants together, every phenotype now receives its own space from seed to harvest. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development as thoroughly as possible while selecting the best photographs from each week. The objective remains exactly the same as always: To create an honest, educational, and complete record of the grow from seed to harvest while sharing observations, successes, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. Today, we begin following GodFather OG Pheno A. --- ## A New Member Joins the Family Every seed carries potential. Every cultivar carries history. And every grow starts with curiosity. For this run, we're following GodFather OG from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. For now, our newest family member has officially arrived. And like any good family, we'll give her the best start we can. 😄 --- ## Germination Using the Cannakan System For germination we used the Cannakan system. Simple. Organized. Reliable. A bit like having a good consigliere keeping track of everyone's business. 😄 The container is divided into separate chambers, allowing multiple cultivars to be germinated simultaneously while remaining properly labeled and organized. Each seed was placed inside using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. Within approximately 24 hours healthy taproots had already emerged and the seeds were ready for the next stage. Fast. Clean. Efficient. Exactly the way we like to start a new operation. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that often comes up during germination is: "Why not feed the seedlings immediately?" The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of development. Nature already handled the negotiations before we arrived. Inside that tiny shell are the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin life. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to do exactly what it was designed to do. Water is enough. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. --- ## First Experience With Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were fully saturated with water and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability. The germinated seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome remained useful for only a short period. Within less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were ready to continue their journey. At that point, they were transplanted into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions remained intentionally simple. Temperatures around 26–27°C. Humidity maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. Rather than keeping seedlings inside extremely humid conditions for extended periods, I prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience during growth. The goal is adaptation. Not dependence. Airflow remains extremely gentle at this stage. Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress. --- ## Looking Ahead So far everything is progressing exactly as hoped. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And most importantly: A strong beginning. At this stage every phenotype remains a mystery waiting to reveal itself. And honestly, that's one of the most exciting parts of growing. No matter how many seeds we start, every new plant arrives carrying a story we haven't read yet. This is only the first chapter. And for GodFather OG Pheno A... the family business is officially underway. 🌱😄 Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone joining us for another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

10/18, day 74 While only getting a tiny bit taller, the colas are bulking up, trichomes are developing, and the colors are amazing. She's so pretty! We're starting to take more stemmed leaves off in preparation for harvest, and they are ready to come off, with beautiful yellow fading. There are sooooo many reddish-orange hairs, and it seems most of the tops are being taken over by purples now. 10/21, day 77 Violet's leaves are turning brown and beginning to curl now. When looking at her trichomes, it seems there is not as much amber today as there was yesterday somehow. Every time we open the cabinet, it seems she has changed. 10/23 day 79 Violet has been exploding with trichomes the last couple of days, and I'm just like WOW!! Upon doing more research on trichomes and their development, I found an article that explains things so nicely (Link: https://www.greencultured.co/cannabis-trichomes-overview/ ) In this article, I learned about the three different types of trichomes: bulbous, capitate sessile, and capitate stalked. The stalked being the tall pretty ones we like to see, which also contain the most resin. At a certain point, the short sessiles develop into the stalked, increasing from 30% to 80-90%. This is kind of far down the article in the section titled "Latest Cannabis Trichome Research." It also explains that the stalked trichomes contain 16 cells while sessile trichomes only contain 8, so the stalked trichome explosion Violet has been having is doubling her medicinal value. I believe that her increasingly strong smell is a sign that this is good information, so I encourage you to check it out. I do not know them, nor have any arrangements with them, I really did just find the article that helpful. Oh, Violet, our time together is going to be over soon!!

Day 71. She’s amazing. I’ve been amazed at how she swelled in the last couple weeks. She will be flushing and entering her dark period within the next week or so. Let’s see how she finishes.

my friends growers, arrived at the 5 week of flowering, everything goes well. end 5 week blooming

we will carry out this cultivation under the sponsorship of Mars Hydro with an FC-E 4800 lamp , to view this lamp or any other marshydro product go to: https://instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Welcome to week 5 of flower. Trichome production and the density of the buds is really starting to accelerate. My dehumidifier is not stable, so VPD ranges from 1.2-1.4. I lightly defoliated 31/10 and last watering was 6/11 👽👉7/11 The day after watering and the day my timer messed up my 12/12 schedule. But hope it brings no problems. I defoliated lightly and only removed most under the SCROG line. Even a couple of underdevoloped branches that stretched below SCROG-net got cut. 👽👉8/11 Their smell is starting to get more extreme. 👽👉9/11 I removed a bit of the bottom foliage and cleaned up the dead leaves. It has been really tight around the SCROG net, so it was highly needed for airflow and humidity 👽👉10/11 Waterday* ml/L change from last watering - to this. BioHeaven 4 > 4 BioGrow 4 > 2 BioBloom 3.5 > 4 TopMax 1.5 > 4 Calmag 0.5 > 0 Rootjuice 1 > 0.5 👽👉11/11 Amazing growth in thickness and they look alot more frosty today! 👽👉12/11 Same story as yesterday 👽👉13/11 Today should have been waterday, however i was missing some nutrients so postponed till tomorrow 👇_____________________________________________ Flowering feeding recommendations: Early bloom: 5:7:10 Mid-bloom: 6:10:15 Mid–late bloom: 4:7:10 BioHeaven The NPK ratio is 0.91-0.18-0.24; BioGrow The NPK ratio is 4-3-6.

WEEK 1 - 23/7/2021 - 30/7/2021 My 6th grow! I've managed to finally build a reliable RDWC system. It has been put on hold for nearly a year now. My primary concern is flooding when I'm not around. Another if there is any blackout affecting the water/air pump.  I've had the system on test run for a week now and it has been fantastic. No leak whatsoever! I'm so glad I decided to go with all PVC pipes and bulkheads rather than using vinyl tubing for the waterfall outlet. So far so good! Can't wait to transplant into the system. :) 20/7/2021 - 2 packs  of Harlequin seeds from Weedseedexpress (5 + 1), 12 seeds soaked in 10ml/L of Nitrozyme for the next 24 hours. 21/7/2021 - All 12 seeds transferred to paper towel and soaked with Nitrozyme and placed in humidity dome. 23/7/2021 - Only 5 out of 12 seeds germinated. But all 12 transplanted to small rockwool cubes, soaked with Nitrozyme mix water then placed in humidity dome. I accidentally cut one of the cotyledon while removing the shell. 27/7/2021 - 1L of water mixed with the following: Rapid start - 1ml/gal - 0.3ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 0.5ml 30/7/2021 - It has been a slow start and the seedlings have been showing signs of nutrient burn. Out of 12 seeds only 4 properly germinated and even that is showing issues. I don't have a good feeling about these seed genetics. I'll give another week to see the growth response.

Finally at the end of another grow, unfortunately it's the worst grow I've done!!! My heart just wasn't in this grow! It started out well until the flowering stage. Which was right around Christmas, super busy with other things, not maintaining them every day. Leaving them days at a time 4 to5 days before checking ph & ec! So they were constantly rising to high levels, went away a few days & had a watering line come loose flooding the tent & draining the reservoir so they had no water or nutrients for days. Pure laziness!

Nothing to see here ;)

running out of space..lol,despite defoliage and tidy,still coming along nicely ,starting to reek .ph is in normal range,start of week gave a days flush.will consider if any extra nutrients required over next few days eg.advanced overdrive.

what a great week! 3 inches gained on bubblegum 1 all the flowers are starting to fill in. starting to smell why they call it bubblegum!

Ran 2 seed from both, all popped easy. Veg stage was smooth—Candy Store RBX with medium long internal soacing, Marshmallow OG compact and sturdy. Topped, LST’d, ScrOG’d, both responded like champs. Flowering hit week 4: Candy Store kept those fluffy buds, sweet berry/candy smell blasting. Marshmallow stretched like crazy until week 4. Had to lift the Candy to keep the canopy even. Marshmallow OG went full compact, colas dense, straight gassy with a heavy chemical punch— diesel vibes in the mix. Trichomes frosted early, looked insane by week 6. Harvest week 9: Candy Store RBX gave frosty, a bit fluffy buds, pure candy/berry flavor, uplifting and social. Marshmallow OG delivered tight, dense nugs, straight gas, chemical-heavy flavor, relaxing body buzz creeping in. Both fire, but totally different vibes. Candy = fruit bomb, Marshmallow = full on gassy chem punch. Visually and flavor-wise, the two perfectly complement each other. I’m super happy with this round. Both turned out purple at the end of flowering.👌

She looks well the internodes are quite spaced. The stem is thickened each week that passes the leaves are emerald green with five fingers. She has received 100 ml of phd water. I’ll keep her under the leds see how she does!!!

Hier sieht man immernoch: zu viel Wasser, das substrat war permanent feucht. Ich habe diesen Fehler in den darauffolgenden Wochen versucht zu beheben, indem weniger gegossen wurde.

03/13/2021 Side branches are developing nice, I may do a little more lst to help lower tops to catch up before flowering starts Ps. Couple videos uploaded Day #6 doing some bending, and broke a branch off so I dipped in rooting powder,threw it in some vermiculite soaked with Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow 4-10-3 with (IBA) Lets see if she will root! Fingers crossed🙏

420 Fastbuds Week 7 Cherry Cola Auto This week on these two has been like autopilot. I've upped the tds to about a 1000 to see how they'll respond. Probably should have upped it a little sooner maybe 2 weeks back but over all they're growing amazing. The one still is the red headed stepchild of the bunch as the leaves look horrible but won't fix itself. The flower sites are growing fine over all from the looks. Starting to give off a nice subtle smell and sticky to the touch. All in all Happy Growing
