So, first of all, I want to say that I´ll be doing the diaries in a weekly updates way, instead of day by day, not only because it is less heavy on me, but I think it´s a better and more attractive reading. So, tell me if you prefer day by day or weekly updates please! Thanks! So, this week was pretty good, thricomes are looking pretty close to harvest. About 90% cloudy, with a little amber and clear. Watered with regular water and didn´t feed her. Flushed it with regular water on day 74, looked like it had still lots of nutes/salts buildup. And about flushing: I saw a really good study (I can link if it´s of interest for someone) showing that flushing isn´t really required, specially if you´re doing organic grows. It was really well explained and had solid arguments and comparisons, even tho, I flushed her in order to see if it really makes a difference. On day 76 when i first opened the tent in the day, she was all the way to the floor, almost hitting 2 tiny girls on the tent. Since she doesn´t had any strenght to support herself, I used some ropes to mantain her up. In resume: The week´s been really nice, she´s beautiful as hell with some purples and I´ve learnt some really good stuff as well.

she likes the heat a lot, i added the co2 on the 21st day, i saw all the difference in the next hour, it's amazing how they can store so much light / elle aime beaucoup la chaleur , j'ai ajouté le co2 au 21eme jour , j'ai vu toute la différence dans l'heure qui suivait, c'est incroyable comment elles peuvent emmagasiner autant de lumière * I still have not turned on the HLG 300 /. je n'ai toujours pas allumer le HLG 300w

Buds showing great and started on day 10-11 of 12/12. I’m happy with the progress so far but I could dial the feed back a little bit and I’ll be adding in more light for a better footprint during week 4 of flower

Day 28 flowering" Aloha grow buddies. Hope all have happy plants and greenery. These amazing ladies have coped really well with the heatwaves we are going through here in the uk. None of them have held back with bud production and seen the mutant # Banana has decided to join in now. I did a very careful but needed defoliation of most of the ladies . The airflow now is a lot more useful bit it is still very warm. Bamana mash are all stacking very nicely now and their stems are looking less spindley. There are a lot of really nice length limbs showing their potential now too. The canopy has evened out nicely for these ladies now. Purple Monkey are really storming ahead with girth now and the buds different Phenos are all more obvious. Only the #2 has the Purple showing so far. The middle row has now got a firm race on with the ladies there trying to dominate for the available light. I am stoked with the development in the experimental seeds and can see some nice harvests coming. Well done Exotic seeds. Hopefully sponsor some more autos to follow on ? , maybe ? . lol They are all feeding really well now and on about 5L each per 1 days. No signs of any issues now at all and hopefully the next 4 weeks + will all be about swelling those stacks. Be safe and well growmies .

Week 2 has had some explosive root growth! As soon as they got enough roots in the solution, you can tell from the color they are eating well and they are really starting to pick up some growth on top. Trying to get the VPD dialed in during the day, with the dehumidifier running at night to keep the humidity in check with lights out. It seems to be successful so far.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape. More to come.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

This week I'm going to talk a little bit about the 2 gal pots I leave outdoors. Since they're going to be indoors now, I've assembled a fertilizer rack and the bottom compartment is perfect for a cage with all the plants I have. With a length of 1.5m, width 65cm and height of 1m, I will use 4 led bulbs 50w and 2 full spectrum LEDs 36w long 1.2m. 272w / ~ 1m2. 2/3:Plant the plants indoors and lst them. 4 led bulb 50w 5/3:Run off all the trees, as it was soaked with rain water when left outside. is still the old nutritional dose. 6/3: Today I received the led light I ordered. I perfect my design and let the tree in the cage out and lst. 9/3:I feel everything is perfect today, I reduce their lighting time to 12/12. I will cut off all the fan leaves from the stem of the 2gal pots and prune all the small branches of the 1gal pot. in this pruning I will trim them as much as possible. It's been 37 days since the seed and I think they're ready for flowering. I need to flower them urgently because in the next 2 months the weather can be as hot as 40 degrees, and I really have no way to reduce their temperature. I would probably have them flower for 7 to 8 weeks to retain maximum resin. a few days before high, I fliming an NL plant, I experimented with this technique and I feel that they have been very successful since the fliming plants have a much larger stump than other plants. I really like this technique, as it will save me the small space I currently have without having toppings. With just a few simple steps I have got a really big stump and still keep the biggest main bud of the tree. I hope each plant can give me 20-25 grams of dried marijuana.

ESPAÑOL: Hola chicos, espero se encuentren muy bien! Esta semana las chicas han mejorado un poco, se detuvo el amarillamiento, descubri que Cal-Max de Grotek interfiere en la composicion de la linea hesi por lo que las chicas sufren un bloqueo de nutrientes, dejé de utilizarlo y las chicas han continuado con su desarrollo relativamente normal. ya estan en su 5ta semana de floracion, Tutankhamon ha producido una cantidad gigantesca de resina, Lennon esta engordando a toda velocidad y aun le quedan 6 semanas aprox. Anubis a pesar de su color intenso amarillo palido esta engordando bastante bien y su produccion de resina es inimaginable y ya solo que quedan 2 semanas y media aprox. espero que a partir de ahora ya no surjan mas problemas y que las chicas terminen su floracion de la mejor manera. esto es todo por esta semana chicos, espero que se encuentren muy bien ! INGLES: Hello guys, I hope you are very well! This week the girls have improved a little, the yellowing stopped, I discovered that Cal-Max from Grotek interferes with the composition of the hesi line so the girls suffer a nutrient lock, I stopped using it and the girls have continued with their relatively normal development. They are already in their 5th week of flowering, Tutankhamun has produced a gigantic amount of resin, Lennon is gaining weight at full speed and he still has about 6 weeks left. Anubis, despite its intense pale yellow color, is gaining weight quite well and its resin production is unimaginable and there are only about 2 and a half weeks left. I hope that from now on no more problems arise and that the girls finish their flowering in the best way. This is it for this week guys, I hope you are doing well!

Harvesting my fist plant this week. I've read that stopping watering before harvest will increase resin production. You can see that most leafs on the bottom right plant turned yellow. Most of its trichomes are cloudy with a few amber ones here and there.

This gal already drinks more than the others and after I took pictures, 2 big fan leaves show nitrogen deficiency. So, she needs more food than the others.
