🌸 WEEK 6 FLOWER — “Giants in Full Bloom”
Hello beautiful people!
Week 6 is here, and I’m honestly in awe — these girls have turned into monsters in the best possible way. The Permanent Marker genetics are showing their full character now, and it’s pure art to witness.
Our Permanent Marker #1, the one who always aimed for the moon, is now proudly showing her colors — purple tones starting to dance along her sugar leaves, a sign that she’s entering her final transformation.
Meanwhile, Pheno #2 keeps her deep, loyal greens, compact and elegant, building buds that are dense, heavy, and sparkling.
The aroma this week is unreal — floral, rich, and much stronger than expected for this stage. You can already sense the terpene complexity these genetics carry.
⸻
🌿 Conditions & Strength
It’s been hot and humid lately, the kind of weather that tests every grower’s setup.
Still, these two girls are standing proud — no signs of stress, no rot, no weakness. While some of their neighbors in the same room have shown small signs of bud rot, our Permanent Markers are holding their ground like true champions.
• Room temp: peaks around 31°C
• Humidity: ~60%
• Soil temp: ~25°C
• PPFD (PAR):
• Pheno #2: 760–780 μmol/m²/s
• Pheno #1: 1,000–1,100 μmol/m²/s provably more lol
Both phenos continue thriving under the ThinkGrow and Future of Grow LEDs, the TrolMaster system keeping everything in check, and our Aptus Holland organic recipe delivering balanced, slow-release nutrition through the pellets and boosters.
⸻
🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to Giants
From germination in the CannaKan, three seeds popped strong — and from the start, these two stood out.
Through early veg, lush and compact growth, the transplant into Zamnesia 11L fabric pots, and now deep into flower — they’ve been consistent, strong, and stunning. Every week has been a new chapter in this living story.
⸻
🏆 The Dognabis Cup – It’s Happening!
The Dognabis Cup is officially alive and thriving! Boxes have arrived, seeds are popping, and the first diaries are already out there — go check them out! 🌍
Each grower brings their own light, style, and story to the Cup, and that’s what makes it special.
Remember: the more detailed, the better your chances to shine.
Share your notes, your challenges, your victories — this Cup is about learning, connecting, and celebrating together.
To everyone participating — good luck, and thank you for being part of this dream.
⸻
💚 Gratitude & Community
As always, a massive thank you to Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grovebags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds and TrolMaster, as well as to everyone who follows, supports, and believes in the spirit of this Cup — from the growers to the dreamers, the lovers and even the haters (you’re part of the story too 😄).
Together, we grow. 🌿
⸻
🌸 What’s Next
From here on, we’re expecting more color, more aroma, and that beautiful trichome frost to start covering everything. The finish line is getting closer, and I couldn’t be more excited to see how both phenos express themselves in the coming weeks.
⸻

Hi all 😀.
The inflorescences have stopped growing and are now starting to swell properly :-).
The next 8-12 days will be harvested :-).
Until then, she will only get the appropriate water and about 3-4 days before the harvest she will be poured a little more for the last flush.
The week was poured three times with 1.2 l each.
Otherwise, as always, everything was assessed and checked.
I wish you all the best until the next update.
Stay healthy 🙏🏻

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent.
Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either.
I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios.
The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure.
When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Hi people 🤗
A lot has happened this week 😄
The 3 Blue Cheese and 2 Kosher Tangie Kush which have been in the flowering tent for 1 week have become very bushy 👍
Unfortunately I just noticed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the Blue Cheese Phenotype # 3 🤦♂️🏻
The picture will be given later.
The rest of the Vegi tent is also progressing very well.
They are repotted in 11 liter pots this week, and then come to the flowering chamber die the following week
The next week there will be new pictures, until then I wish everyone a nice start into the new week 🙏🏻💪🏻
Let it grow 🍀🌱

Welcome growfessors to my latest run of my all time favorite strain Super Lemon Haze. This was the last clone I took from a SLH mother plant I had started from seed. This clone has been very slow to develop and grow over the last 14 weeks, I've decided I'm going to flip her over to flowering in a couple weeks, instead of using her as a new mother plant.

The addition of an enzyme has produced amazing results that were shocking and worrying at first. Massive rise in EC and PH every 24 hours from 5.3 - 6.8. Research yet no sign of any harm to the plants, in fact they seem very happy! The enzymes has created an environment friendly to the beneficial microbes and fungi that has lead to a feeding frenzy (Which wouldn't have happened ad I used Hygrozyme from the start.). EC rises a point or two as the microbes and plants expel waste and create a plethora of negative charged hydrogen ions. Thus, the PH rises. Never above 6.8, strangely.
Because the microbes are eating and shitting so well, they have added a lot of chilated nutrients that are easier for the plants to uptake at a wider range of PH (Yes, some as high as 6.8). The fact that there are so many bunches of calyxes sprouting and exploding, filling in the flower space is proof enough for me.

Hi everyone,
this week went pretty smoothly. She is growing well and she actually took 15 cm during this week. I'm pretty happy with that and I guess it's gonna be the same the coming week.
I'm just adjusting the distance between the lamp and the canopy and that's pretty much it.
I'm questioning if I shouldn't have taken the little branches from the middle out as they are now putting some lower bud sites on the main branches in the shadow. That's how it is now so I'll go along with it.
Today I removed some lower leaves on the branches that are in the middle. They are pretty thin so it won't produce anything anyway.
The coming week will pretty much be the same as this one I guess. I'm looking forward to doing the massive defoliation from the schwazzing technique next week. That'll be the first time I do it, hopefully that won't be a mistake!
As usual, let me know in the comments if you have any advice or remarks.
Take care everyone and see you next week!

ONE WEEK TILL CHOP!!
Grow has gone fantastic. Qbsolurely blows me away how DENSE these buds are! For a solocup grow, and being hard to deliver enough food. Man. This is some top shelf shit!
Absolutely fantastic.. when I come to you in a week, she will be chopped down!!
I attached some trichome photos. Shes at about 10% amber now. I forsee 20% or more within 5 days. That's when I will harvest her!

2/20:
Both pots are light and are looking droopy. Time for first day of feeding nutrients. I used 1tbsp unsulphured molasses mixed into a half strength mix of General Organics GO Box nutrients, following the first week of flower instructions.
2/21:
Both plants are looking great this morning. Amnesia seemed to have grown more overnight! I'll need to watch the timelapse to see what happened. My lights are at about 80% at 12 inches above the plants. I'm going to increase it to 12 inches above the tallest cola.
2/22:
May turn both lights to 100% soon, as the timelapse of the night didn't show much growth or movement. Otherwise looking good.
2/24:
Woke up to Amnesia's lower leaves turning yellow, brown, and crunchy. Google research thinks its a PK deficiency, the last two letters if the N-P-K nutrient list. Discord users also believed it was a PK deficiency on their own accord. I may be able to remedy this by upping my main Biothrive Bloom to full strength to increase those nutrient numbers, and feeding her now. She's growing fast, I could see why she'd be hungry again after 4 days. Her pot wasn't quite all the way light before bed though. After today's feeding I'll go down to 3/4 strength on the Bloom for the next feeding.
EDIT: After lifting Amnesias pot, she definitely is ready for feeding/watering. Probably starved a bit overnight in the hot tent. Later at night, Trainwreck began to droop, so I mixed up a half strength of nutrients and fed her a gallon over a half hour.

Flowering Time: 68-73 Days
under 20w seedling light , on heating mat @ 78F
picked the wrong damn tent on the grow log settings lol, its a coolgrows 4x4
12/31/24
two pops so far, moving into dwc buckets under around ,3 EC
water just under net pots
12 DLI for now, FD6000 is set to 5 on my AC infinity
as far as my take on the phenos:
#1 popped vigorously and has leaflets grown since,
#2 is a bit slower, popped two days later
#3 was planted later, but popped quickly
1/5/25
slight rooting through on #1, probably my last top water , it looked a little thirsty, maybe 1 more tomorrow
#2 and #3 will continue receiving top watering everyday until i observe the same
keeping VPD at around .9 ,,, however i do need a new IR therm.
1/7/25
some slight purpling on #1 & #2 and i am sure this is because of having a bad pH pen before.
everything is properly calibrated and pHed with my AC INFINITY pH pen
1/13/25
well, they continued to purple a little bit, gonna chalk it down to low temps in the tent, was using my heater in my other tent
but i have reconnected it as i moved the plant i was rehabing into the 4x4 since i set it to veg DLI (30 right now.)

As the days go by and the weather in my area is getting colder, I've got a difference from almost 10 degrees between night and day, so one of the girl is getting some purple colors in the buds.
Everything else seems normal, I just had to change the light cause my 600W LED fell out. Now I'm using a 200W till I hopefully can fix the other light.

She's ready to get flushed.
I've put her in my second tent to leave her in total darkness for 2 days before I'll hang her to dry. This helps the plant to break down the chlorophyll.
