***I’m not sure why but it’s only letting me put 100 growing plants, but I actually harvested 180 plants in three separate rooms of about 300 sqfeet almost each, running in at 350 g per plant *** Given her being my first grow, I don’t really have anything to compare to but me and my plants have gone through a lot this year. Definitely going to need filters with this one, for the strong scent. 10 out of 10 would recommend this strain. I tried some fish fertilizer through some of the early growth and everytime I did, I would notice the plants beginning to burn so I completely stopped it, I learned organic is the best way to go if I’ll ever be using fertilizer again. This is the only way I would’ve learned it through experience! I didn’t think I can make it all the way through with my harvest, but ever since I got on Growdiaries everybody has helped me tremendously with every question I had, without the site my whole to harvest would’ve went to shit along time ago. Haha I really can’t thank my Growmies here enough for all their support. Every time I thought about giving up I would have uplifting comments assuring me my plants we’re doing fine. A message to all nee growers. Don’t be afraid of failure. Ask questions. I don’t know when my next grow will be but when, or if I decide to grow again, I’ll definitely document it on the best possible weed growing platform. Cheers friends!

Day 8, 9-18-24: they're seeming to shoot up rather quickly and that's wonderful! I can't wait Day 10, 9-20-24: They are starting to look like they're supposed to instead of babies! I got them level with each other so the ppfd should be more uniform. It's rained a couple of days this week so the humidity jumped some, but mostly everything is good Day 11, 9-21-24: they are doing amazing. They are starting to spread out nicely! Day 12, 9-22-24: They are really doing well! I had time to set up the camera this morning before work. That's a 4th gen purple star killer clone next to it. Day 13, 9-23-24: they keep getting noticeably bigger! Day 14, 9-24-24: they're growing nicely and starting to branch out. They have also grown pretty thick

Hey everyone 😀. These weeks they have continued to develop very well 👍. They have made a huge leap forward since they were repotted 😃. They will be topped again this week, and will then move to the flower tent next week 😍. I am very curious to see how it will develop until next 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 :(

Woche 8 Die dritte Woche im 12h Zyklus bricht an und es ist von Blüte noch nicht viel zu erkennen. Die Damen wachsen und wachsen 🤭. Wenn sich diese Woche nicht der Blütebeginn zeigt werden wir die Nacht auf 13h verlängern müssen sonst sprengen sie einfach das Zeltvolumen sollten sie sich in der Blüte weiter strecken. Das Licht haben wir mittlerweile schon mehrfach kontrolliert es ist wirklich auf 12h umgestellt. Blütetag 18 😄😄😄Damen haben mitbekommen, dass die Nacht nicht mehr nur 6h hat. Blütetag 21 Was soll das nur geben. 🙈

Skywalker OG — Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy Week 7 From Seed | Week 2 Flower Structural Defoliation + Clip Release + Stretch Acceleration ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Snapshot (Current Reality) • 🌡️ Day Temp: ~28°C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.9 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: 40–80 cm • 💡 LED (multi-layer canopy + under-canopy) On paper? Some growers panic at 28°C in flower. In practice? Understanding beats numbers. ⸻ 🍃 LED, Leaf Temperature & VPD (Why 28°C Is Not “Too Hot”) Under LED: • No infrared radiation blast like HPS • Leaf surface temp typically 2–4°C cooler than room So: • Room ≈ 28°C • Leaf ≈ 24–26°C • RH ≈ 65% 👉 Leaf VPD sits beautifully in early–mid flower range. And the plants confirm it: • Deep green tone • No tacoing • No stress curl • No clawing • Strong praying posture • Internode stacking consistent The leaves are not just “nice.” They are metabolically comfortable. ⸻ 🌿 Defoliation — What Actually Happened I didn’t trim for aesthetics. I reset the architecture. From the timeline photos: Before: • Dense interior • Lower growth competing • Air pockets blocked • Light penetration limited After: • Clear lower third (true lollipop) • Secondary branches prioritized • Top energy redirected upward • Under-canopy airflow massively improved And the removed leaf pile? That tells the story of biomass management, not plant stress. Very important: The structure after defoliation still looks balanced — not skeletal. That means you removed intelligently, not emotionally. ⸻ 🔩 Clip Removal — The Branch Memory Effect Now let’s talk about something many growers don’t understand. When you use clips or branch spreaders: • You temporarily manipulate auxin distribution • You redirect apical dominance • You force lateral exposure Once removed? The plant reacts in 24–72 hours. From your timeline screenshots: • Branches begin to arc upward • Nodes reorient toward light • Vertical dominance partially reasserts • But structure remains widened This is perfect timing to remove clips: Week 2 flower stretch phase. Why? Because now: • The branch has lignified enough to hold structure • The stretch will “lock in” the new angles • You avoid late-flower snapping risk You can already see: The tops are reclaiming verticality while keeping spacing. That is textbook. ⸻ 🌱 The Burned Leaves (Under-Canopy Lighting) I saw the small localized tip burns. Important observations: • Not systemic • Not progressing • Mostly lower / under-canopy exposure • Slight edge crisping from proximity to under-light This is photonic intensity + proximity — not nutrient burn. Your EC at 2.9 is high compared to your other girls, yes. But here’s the key: They are eating it. Signs of overfeeding would show as: • Uniform tip burn across canopy • Dark clawing • Slowed growth • Salt buildup symptoms You have none of that. Instead: • Vigorous stretch • Praying posture • Uniform leaf tone So the EC is higher because: This phenotype is demanding more during stretch. That’s not excess. That’s appetite. ⸻ 🚀 The Stretch Now let’s talk genetics. Week 2 flower is just the beginning for these. Expect: • 1.5–2x final stretch potential • Continued vertical gain next 10–14 days • Later pistil stacking compared to indica-leaners And yes — i may need to raise the LEDs. At 60 cm now? They are not done. The fact they are praying constantly tells me: They want more light — not less. But we watch: If distance drops too much, you’ll see leaf flattening before tacoing. That’s your early warning. ⸻ Two Plants — Two Personalities You can clearly see: One Plant : • More structured • Tighter node stacking • Slightly thicker leaf The other Plant : • More vertical aggression • Strong apical reclaim after clip removal • Haze-like frame expansion This is why running multiple phenos is beautiful. We’re not just growing. We’re studying expression. ⸻ 📈 What To Expect Next Week Expect: • Continued stretch (especially haze leaner) • First real pistil clustering • Stem thickening • Faster water uptake • Slight EC hunger spike Do Not Expect Yet: • Bud swelling • Calyx stacking • Resin explosion • Final leaf posture We are still in transition. This is architectural week — not production week. ⸻ ❤️ And The Leaves… You’re right. They are beautiful. Wide, defined serrations. Strong petiole angles. No mottling. No interveinal chlorosis. No stress striping. They look metabolically confident. That’s the best compliment a plant can receive. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude Section To everyone: • The OGs who’ve been here since seed • The new growers learning through mistakes and wins • The silent readers • The loud critics • The Grow Diaries community • The platform hosting the journey • The sponsors supporting education • And every single person watching this experiment unfold This is not just a grow. It’s documentation. It’s learning. It’s transparency. And it’s love for the plant. 📡 Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Not much to report this week. She is beautiful and loving life.

Kommen jetzt langsam in die Wachstumsphase. Beginne leicht mit 2ml pro Liter Root juice. Hauptlichter auch an, aber mit 50cm Abstand. Update 15.12.2020 Sie wachsen alle sehr gut.

Another week is complete and the organic purple lemonade is looking good. It has hown to be resilient and is no longer stunted from repeated replanting due to my dog tipping the pots over. I Have not started feeding the soil yet as the origin ammendments is providing what the plant needs. The lower leaves are not showing any signs of deficiencies.

Semaine 3 - Phase Végétative : Journal de Culture pour la Dognabis Cup (Concours DogDoctor)Strain : Zamnesia Permanent Marker Système de culture : Hydroponie Ebb & Flow sur billes d'argile expansé Nutrition : Aptus (programme adapté à la phase végé, EC cible à 2.2 mS/cm) Éclairage : 1000W full spectrum, contrôlé par Trolmaster Tent X (augmentation progressive de 10 PPFD par semaine) Contrôle environnemental : Total via Trolmaster (climat, lumière, CO2, VPD) Objectif global : Maximiser la structure buissonnante pour la floraison future, en visant des monstres... mais adaptation forcée au switch précoce ! Salut la team DogDoctor et la communauté Dognabis Cup ! Voici le récap de ma semaine 3 en végé pour ma Zamnesia Permanent Marker. Cette strain est une bête : elle pousse vite, dense et résineuse, mais comme vous le verrez, je dois déjà anticiper un switch en 12/12 plus tôt que prévu à cause de mes autres plantes en avance (qui stressent pour du temps extra en végé). Pas de monstres XXL cette fois, mais on optimise ce qu'on peut avec du LST/FIM et une gestion fine de l'hydro. Nutrition Aptus qui cartonne, et enfin, le pH s'est stabilisé après des débuts chaotiques – plus de corrections quotidiennes, ouf ! État des PlantesLes bébés Permanent Marker sont en pleine explosion : tiges solides, feuilles larges et dark green, avec une bonne ramification grâce au LST et FIM appliqués cette semaine. J'ai plié et attaché les tops pour une canopée uniforme (environ 4-5 nœuds principaux par plante), et topping sur les plus vigoureuses pour booster les côtés. Croissance verticale contrôlée à ~15-20 cm de hauteur moyenne, mais la densité racinaire est top dans les billes d'argile – pas de signes de stress oxygène. Malheureusement, les autres plantes du run (pas en concours) sont déjà en train de s'étirer et demandent du 12/12 ; je vais devoir les stresser (légèrement réduire les nutriments ou eau) pour grappiller 3-5 jours de végé extra ici. Objectif : ne pas dépasser 4 semaines total en végé pour synchroniser le tout. Pas l'idéal pour des colosses, mais la qualité prime pour la Cup ! Environnement et ContrôlesTout est verrouillé via Trolmaster : température stable autour de 24°C (cible), humidité à 70% (parfait pour la végé), CO2 à 900 PPM (maintien manuel pour booster la photosynthèse). VPD optimal à ~0.9 kPa, ce qui colle pile aux recos Aptus pour éviter transpiration excessive. Lumière augmentée de 10 PPFD comme prévu (maintenant à ~679 PPFD moyen en zone flo), et les graphs montrent une belle stabilité – pas de pics chaotiques. Pour l'hydro : marées réduites de 2 min (maintenant ~15-20 min par cycle) et 2 cycles en moins par jour (de 8 à 6), pour durcir les racines sans noyade. Solution à EC 2.2 (up de 0.2 cette semaine pour suivre la faim végé), pH enfin stable à 6.07 (après des ajustements quotidiens les 2 premières semaines – merci les tampons Aptus !). EC solution à 2.16 mS/cm, temp eau à 17.9°C (refroidisseur au top). Mousture moyenne à 90% – bien drainé, zéro anaérobie. Données Récapitulatives de la SemaineVoici un tableau synthétique des stats clés (moyennes sur Mon/Dim/Nuit pour les zones "Plantes" et "Chambre", basées sur les logs app).

Notes sur les données : PPFD bas en "Dim" car cycles lumière éteints ; focus sur Mon/Nuit pour les moyennes actives. Graphs 24h confirment : Temp stable entre 22-24.5°C, Humidité 58-74%, VPD ~0.7-1.0 kPa, sans outage.Défis et AjustementspH instable résolu : Les 2 premières semaines, je corrigeais tous les jours (oscillations 5.8-6.5 dues à l'hydro neuf). Cette semaine, boom – stable à 6.07 grâce aux stabilisateurs Aptus et monitoring Trolmaster. Victoire ! Switch forcé : Les autres plantes en avance m'obligent à floraison précoce (semaine 4 max). J'aurais aimé 6 semaines pour des monstres, mais on priorise la synchro. Plan B : stresser les leaders (réduire EC de 0.1 sur elles) pour +2-3 jours végé ici. LST/FIM : Appliqué mid-semaine – tops pliés, nœuds boostés. Pas de topping supplémentaire pour éviter stress avant switch. Objectifs Semaine 4 (Transition Végé/Flo)Continuer l'augmentation lumière : +10 PPFD encore (cible ~750 PPFD pour fin végé). Légère baisse EC (à 2.0) pour anticiper flo, sans choc. Arrêter LST/FIM : Laisser repousser librement, focus sur récupération. Tirer max de végé : Stresser les autres plantes (eau/nutriments light) pour retarder leur switch – grappiller du temps pour ces Permanent Marker. Monitoring renforcé : VPD

Half gallon nute feed. Trichomes still a little glassy. Dense budding 👌🏾. 60-65 days for both ladies will open the window. Flushing soon.

Esta semana pasa a floracion y continua la estimulacion con delta 9 y mañana cambia el fotoperiodo a 12 /12

Patiently waiting to see the sex of this classic…

Cream Cookies is getting close to harvest. I did feed her again this week with Recharge only. Next weekend I plan on starting to flush. One of the lower side branches broke accidentally when I was moving things around in the tent. There were only a couple of small buds on the branch, but I dried it out to give her a taste. I can definitely taste the cream overtones, which is very nice. And I got a nice buzz off of it too. Really looking forward to the properly harvested and cured results! 👍

These are doing pretty damn good for the most part. I figured out with the green buzz the only thing in bloom that raises ppm is the base bloom and the more PK which is good to know. Also been using lower ppm for the autos and they seem healthier than usual. These pics and the video were taken on Day 36.

The plant went crazy with growth this week, easily doubling in size (probably more). My tent is only a small one at 80*80*160 and this thing is now fully populated by plant. Can't beleive I managed to get 4 in here with my last grow, I guess they will grow as big as the space they are provided with when they are healthy and happy and this plant is definitely both. Things continued to warm up again this week, a few sunny days of 26c outside which meant my tent once again crept into the 30's for 2 or 3 hours of the 18 hour lights on cycle. On top of this, just to add salt into the wounds there were cold nights as well where the tent heaters were going full whack keeping things warm. To tackle the heat I ended up using a CO2 bag. CO2 was recommended to me by the Hydro shop and could help with the plant dealing with the high heats at times, guess I'll see. The plant also received the gift of automated watering, with the higher temperatures but also as I'll be away for a week for work next week I had to get something setup in advance. No idea why I didn't install an automated watering system with previous grows, was so cheap and makes things so much easier. Best of all the plant is loving more frequent drinks/feeds. Currently set to 4 a day at around 500ml each feed. When I started this gro my plan was to go nutrient free, and just use what the living soil offered. That only lasted through veg anyhow, now that it's flowering, I can see how much the plant is loving the Mills nutrients. Based on the growth in the last week I'd say the plants loving them a hell of a lot!!!! I think all the hard work shaping the plant is done now as the stretch is nearly over. Had no other option but to install a net during the week just to keep it down as much as I could. Only took a few days to fill it out and there's way too many bud sights now. If the plant had of stretched much more it would have to move into a larger house, but now the buds are starting to fatten I'd say it will be safe now. Couldn't be happier with this grow anyhow. Now just have to wait and see these buds fatten up.
