🌱🍯 Tical x Zamnesia — Nectar Drip | Cure & Smoke Report 🍯🌱 And here we are. The final chapter. Well… kind of 😄 Because if you followed this diary from the beginning, you already know by now that these reports have a habit of multiplying into several parts. So first of all: sorry 😄 But honestly, there was simply too much happening during this run to compress everything into one giant update without losing important moments along the way. And this final report matters. Because this is where everything comes together: - the seed, - the environment, - the genetics, - the drying, - the trimming, - the curing, - the patience, - and finally… the smoke itself. For anyone only arriving now: everything from germination until harvest was documented throughout the previous weeks in detail. This final report is the complete closing reflection: our honest experience with Nectar Drip after living with the medicine properly. 🌱 From Seed To Finished Medicine This run started under a 12/12-from-seed cycle from day one. No long vegetative period. No giant training sessions. No massive canopy manipulation. Just allowing the genetics to express themselves naturally while observing: - structure, - resin production, - flower formation, - terpene evolution, - morphology, - and overall cultivar personality. And honestly? These girls impressed us almost the entire way through. Compact plants. Fast flowering behavior. Dense stacking. Strong lateral support. Heavy trichome coverage. Beautiful late fade. Excellent flower-to-leaf ratio. Outstanding resin production. And by harvest? They truly became something special. One of the plants was frozen immediately after harvest for future washing and extraction work, which we will still return to later on once the fresh frozen process is completed properly. The remaining plants continued through: - controlled drying, - hand trimming, - curing, - and final evaluation. Final dry cured manicured flower numbers came to: 🌱 337.3 grams Plus: the fresh frozen material still resting for future washing and extraction work. And honestly? For a 12/12-from-seed run with this level of quality, resin, density, and expression… very happy. Very very happy. ? The Cure After drying for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - approximately 18–20°C - around 60% RH - with slightly lower humidity during the first couple of days to help remove initial surface moisture safely …the flowers moved into glass jars for curing. And this part matters deeply. Because harvest is not the finish line. Curing is where the flower slowly finishes becoming itself. The flowers were cured for well over a month and a half before we felt comfortable properly evaluating them. And honestly? Even from day one they already smelled incredible. But time transformed them. The aroma became: deeper, rounder, smoother, warmer, more layered, and much more expressive. During the first curing phase we burped the jars regularly: - opening them briefly, - allowing gas exchange, - checking moisture stability, - monitoring aroma evolution, - and making sure the internal humidity remained balanced. Thankfully, everything stabilized beautifully. No excess moisture. No hay smell. No instability. Just clean slow curing. And honestly, there is something special about opening a properly cured jar after weeks of patience. The smell no longer feels “fresh plant.” It smells like the cultivar finally introducing itself properly. 🔥 Smoke Review And now… the important part 😄 This medicine is beautiful. Truly beautiful. The smoke is exceptionally smooth. Soft inhale. Soft exhale. No harshness. No aggressive throat burn. No uncomfortable heaviness. Just creamy, rich, flavorful smoke. And the terpene profile became incredibly interesting after cure. There is: - sweetness, - fruit, - creamy warm notes, - slight woody depth, - resinous undertones, - and this very unique almond-like note sitting somewhere in the middle of everything. Almost roasted. Almost nutty. Almost dessert-like. And honestly? There are moments where I personally almost convince myself there are slight coffee-like notes hiding in there too… but that part might genuinely just be my brain trying to create connections 😄 But the almond note? Absolutely present. And combined with the sweetness, fruits, warm resin, and creamy backend, the whole experience becomes very unique. There is also something tropical happening here. Not necessarily pineapple specifically… but something that mentally transports you somewhere warm: - islands, - beaches, - ocean air, - late sunsets, - tropical fruit stands, - warm evenings. Very expressive medicine. Very “alive” feeling. 🧠⚡ Effects The effects are honestly one of the strongest parts of this cultivar. Relaxing… yet cerebral. Body comfort… yet mentally active. You feel calm physically, but your mind stays bright, social, creative, and awake. This is not a “lights out” cultivar for us personally. In fact, if someone wants sleep? This probably would not be our first recommendation 😄 Because this medicine keeps the conversation going. It feels: uplifting, euphoric, social, creative, emotionally warm, and mentally stimulating without becoming overwhelming. Very balanced. Very functional. Very enjoyable. The type of medicine that works beautifully for: - conversations, - walks, - music, - art, - social moments, - nature, - relaxing evenings, - creative sessions, - and simply feeling good without becoming disconnected. And honestly? The longer cure made everything even more refined. The effect became smoother. The flavor became rounder. The smoke became softer. The entire experience matured beautifully. 🍯 Temple Balls & Resin Now we also need to talk about the resin itself. Because Nectar Drip produces gorgeous resin. Not just visually frosty. Actually greasy. The kind of cultivar that leaves: - gloves coated, - scissors glued, - fingers sticky, - and trim bins full of golden material. The resin collected during trimming eventually became small temple balls cured separately inside glass. And honestly? Beautiful. Dark. Oily. Soft. Sticky. Aromatic. Rich. The concentrated version of the flower profile itself. Everything the flower expresses… just intensified. And the texture says a lot about the quality of the trichome heads here. Very workable resin. Very reactive to heat. Very greasy behavior. Extremely satisfying material to work with. 🙏 About The Collaboration And honestly… huge respect to Tical and Zamnesia for this collaboration. Because this did not feel like a “hype-only” release. The genetics genuinely performed. And that matters. This collaboration combined: 24K Gold Fangs × Apple Fritter And the result honestly feels like both sides contributed something valuable: - resin, - density, - sweetness, - complexity, - color, - structure, - and effect balance. We were also incredibly fortunate to even get our hands on one of these limited packs: #268 out of only 750 released. And honestly? Very grateful we did. Because this cultivar absolutely earned its place in the garden. 📸 Documentation & Final Thoughts This run became huge in documentation: - macro photography, - focus stacking, - studio sessions, - harvest videos, - trimming time lapses, - resin collection, - cinematic portraits, - drying updates, - curing progression, - and all the little behind-the-scenes moments in between. Some of the focus-stacked macros alone became entire projects by themselves: 100+, 170+, 200+ merged images to create single final photographs. And honestly… that process reflects the grow itself: slow, patient, detailed, obsessive, careful, and built with love. 🌱 Final Thank You And before closing this chapter properly… thank you. To Tical. To Zamnesia. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To Lumiflora. To the platform. To the gear. To the followers. To the silent supporters. To the OGs still here. To the new people arriving now. To the curious observers. To the skeptics. To the haters too 😄 To everyone who spent even a few moments following this journey with us. A grow diary slowly becomes more than just growing plants. It becomes: documentation, memory, learning, art, routine, community, and shared time. And honestly… this Nectar Drip run gave us a little bit of all of that. This chapter closes here. But somehow… I still feel like these girls are not completely finished telling their story yet. 🌱🍯 🌿 Effects — Positives & Negatives 🌿 Honestly… this is one of those cultivars where it becomes genuinely difficult for us to find negative effects. And we always try to stay honest in these reviews. The only consistent “negative” we personally noticed? Dry mouth 😄 But honestly, that comes with cannabis in general and especially with very resinous flavorful flowers like these. Apart from that? Nothing negative stood out for us personally. No paranoia. No anxious racing thoughts. No uncomfortable heaviness. No dry irritated eyes. No mental fog. No overwhelming sedation. No “stuck on the couch unable to function” feeling. Just a very balanced, warm, uplifting experience. And honestly, this is where Nectar Drip became really special for us. Because while the effect is relaxing physically… it still keeps the mind active, social, creative, giggly, and emotionally light. You feel calmer… but still alive. And for people dealing with: - stress, - anxiety, - emotional exhaustion, - low mood, - or simply the weight of everyday life… this type of cultivar can feel incredibly comforting. Not because it “turns your brain off.” But because it softens the sharp edges without removing your personality. You still want to: - talk, - laugh, - eat, - listen to music, - go outside, - enjoy company, - and experience things. And yes… the munchies are REAL here 😄 That creamy fruity sweetness mixed with those warm nutty almond-like notes somehow makes the entire experience feel even more appetite-opening. You smell it… and suddenly snacks start sounding like an amazing idea 😄 It is comforting medicine. Happy medicine. The type of flower that gently pulls you back toward enjoying simple moments again. And honestly? That alone makes this cultivar something special. Sending love to everyone still here following along this journey. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other.

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.

04/16/24. Hey hiii helloooo. We are entering week 8 wow. I can’t believe we made it. All in all I’m very happy with how thing have gone/are going. I’m not sure exactly how soon or not these will be done. I think they’ve done what they are gonna do and now we’re just watching trichomes. They look sorta done? Like I think I could chop them and all would be fine.. but I’m no expert on trichomes. I think they look milky LOL..mostly? I’m going to let them keep going and watch for any changes. Feeling happy and also sad at the thought of murdering them :( I love them Oh and I dimmed the light to 50% and just giving water still when they’re dry which is every other day. Each drinking 1 gallon. Trichome pictures included for anyone who can look at them better than me.😅

Day 68 - 21/11/23 OG Kush is doing her thing nicely! Trichomes are looking 50% cloudy with some amber domes peaking. She's showing me a bunch of different colours!! every other nug has a different look, different hue! Once the medium dries up a little more, Im gonna start the flush. it's a waiting game now 23/11/23 A lot more cloudy trichomes today. OG Kush was flushed until substantial runoff. We're getting close!

And it starts like this. an official collaboration starts with the friends of Zamnesia, from today I will only grow, grow and flower Zamnesia Seeds plants and I really like it. We are close to a flowering in the extreme heat and therefore we opted to start with 4 very fast F1s, they are not joking guys when they tell you that they are made to be more resistant, stable and fast they are not telling you something false. The girls are super fast, even those from other brands tried in the past are excellent and a sliver and this one from Zamnesia have all it takes to be the best autoflowering on the market. The Pineapple Express F1s were also born at the speed of light, 22 hours in water, 36 on land and we were already born, both of them. Oh yes, a lot of research is being done on autoflowering plants, you have all noticed monstrous improvements compared to Low Rider and subsequent derivatives. Whoever works best wins and from what I have been able to see so far Zamnesia is working very well. I know, there is a group of sceptics, friends I'm here on purpose, give me a couple of months and we'll see. Zamnesia is the best online shop in the situation, you can find everything from seeds, to mushroom kits, through vaporizers and a thousand other things https://www.zamnesia.io Pineapple Express F1 seeds specifically https://www.zamnesia.com/10681-zamnesia-seeds-pineapple-express-f1-automatic.html Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: FRUITY FLAVORS AND ENERGETIC EFFECTS Combining Trainwreck with Hawaiian, Pineapple Express F1 Hybrid Automatic brings a beloved strain to new heights.

Zdarec pěstiči, tak 8 týden za náma a konečně povyrostla kukuřice tak sem mohl nainstalovat pletivo proti srnám a nasypat granule na slimáky. Holky dostali 5l zálivku s naloží fishmixu ať se zase pěkně Zelenají. Zatím Čus.

Hey everyone! Just a quick recap from last week: we've removed the LST bands and are letting the plants grow freely. They are looking fantastic and have developed a very dense canopy. 🌿 Now, we're at a bit of a crossroads regarding when to start the flowering phase. The back three plants from our second grow are only 23 days old, and I’d prefer not to have any plants outside the tent. Today, we're changing the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6. This will give the plants more time to rest, which should help them grow even stronger. 🌱 The 18/6 cycle means 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, providing the plants with more downtime to recuperate and grow. Excited to see how they respond to this change! Day 45 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Exciting update: we’ve built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants! 🌿 For those who don’t know, a SCROG net helps to train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it with our six plants to ensure they all get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy. We've also placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. Do we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or would a dehumidifier be a better option? We’re leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Day 46 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Exciting news: the plants have names now! 🌿 This will make it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch them grow and thrive!

It grew quick it's an early bloomer. The green buzz were great I kept the ppm lower than I typically do staying around 950 for the crop and 880 for this one. If you like the purple autos this is a good one to start with.

Week 7: Well after accidentally super cropping the White Widow, splitting a branch then taping up on the Blueberry Big Devil and then mass defoliation, the ladies have coped well. I feel like I have watering dialed in now with a combination of using a soil moisture meter and picking up the pots, I have faith I am close to right with timing. The last feeding in week 6 I used full strength nutrients. This resulted in some nutrient burn with some tips of leaves changing colors. I feed just water the next go around and yesterday feed again with 1/2 strength nutrients. I will stick with that until flush. I am going to switch to dry amendments for my next grow and try that out. Temperatures are coming down into 60s at night and topping out in low 80s. Humidity has been hovering between 45-50 without any need for equipment to run. I did some lollipoping and cut lose all the secondary popcorn buds that weren't seeing the light of day. I can't think of anything I could have done physically to stress them beyond this point than I have, so from this point on out I am just going to water and feed. No more LST, adjustments, etc.. I have already been way too active in flower from my understand of autos anyway.

This was a fantastic plant to grow, and although it doesn't have the strongest resistance to mold, I think that if I were to grow it again I could avoid the issue. I am starting to figure out how to maximize my grow space! Come check out my next grow when you get a chance!

We started preflower this week. She filled out since the last defoliation and is looking really healthy. There is a bit of damage on a few of the leaves, but it's from where I was a little rough with the tiedowns around the growth tips. She has some damn tight spacing, making it hard to get the wires in there. She has a nice aroma. I wouldn't say it smells like cheese exactly, but has a pleasant sour note to it. I am going to be adding some VMC and ground Malted Barley this week, along with some Ful-Power. Probably another defoliation, too. I will try to take before and after pics. Update: When I added the VMC and Barley, I discovered that both pots in my tent were extremely light weight. I had been underwatering big time, slowing growth and causing some deficiencies. Since then things seem to be correcting themselves rapidly.

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

3/28/25 chopped and humidity was a little high starting off 3/30/25 have them drying at 60% and 70° 4/3/25 Still needing a day or so of drying to be at a stable humidity Beautiful plant. Fan leaves with Triched out patterns visibly everywhere. Even though i chopped quite a bit off of the plant, i still got quite a bit bigger yield than i expected. All sizable nugs. Pulled 65 grams.

Bonne semaine dans l'ensemble, les 2 plus grandes plantes qui avaient des tuteurs mesurent maintenant 30 cm, je vais passer en floraison. J'ai trouvé le moyen de baisser la température en ouvrant la porte de la box... C' est pas très discret. J'ai baissé un peu le chauffage aussi. Je n'ai pas arrosé beaucoup mais les plantes ne semblent pas souffrir, tous les trois jours à peu près. Les noeuds sont éloignés les uns des autres, ont voit clairement l'influence sativa, à part peut être sur un ou deux phénotypes...

Day 55 - 18/11/19 i still think another 1-2 weeks for this one, getting a jewelers loupe for the beginning of week 9 so i can tell exactly where were at in terms of harvest :) anyone got any thoughts on this little plant? have a look at the photos and videos and let me know in the comments below :) oh and i finally nailed what this strains smell is - tropical hubba bubba gum with cheese :'D Day 59 - 22/11/19 Got my jewelers loupe 2 days ago and ive been having a look at them. its pretty hard to see for a newbie grower. ive looked at harvest guides online and seen pictures of clear, cloudy and amber trichomes. mine look mostly cloudy (60%) and slightly glassy (40%) with barely any ambers. i may be wrong but the reason i think its cloudy is that it looks white against the leaves instead of see through or like glass. so going on this for my first trichome inspection im gonna harvest in the middle of next week. Smell is getting strong enough to stink out a room, still that tropical cheese smell, although its just so pungent it lingers in the rooms after bringing it out of the tent to inspect it. smell isnt a problem if you put it back in the tent and spray some air freshener stuff in the next room. the carbon filter is doing its job exactly as described along with the fan. The fan leaves started to get yellow patches and sugar leaves starting to curl. and a friend thinks its nearing the end of its life. I flushed yesterday and will flush again today to drain out any excess salts and nutes. Thanks for following along. im excited for week 9! Happy Growing!
