🌱 Week 3 – Permanent Marker Veg Update
Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds)
Project: Official Dognabis Cup Grow Diary 🌍
Role: Organizer & Example Grow
⸻
🌟 Welcome to the Dognabis Cup 🌟
We’re proud to officially introduce the Dognabis Cup to the Grow Diaries community!
This is a virtual cannabis cup, focused on creativity, transparency, and community energy, open to all levels of growers. You can follow along or join via our official Instagram page:
👉 @dognabiscup
This grow diary will serve as an example and inspiration for participants, showing how I document the process, care for my plants, and work with genetics, soil, light, and love. The Cup had a brief pause due to a lost mail, but now it’s back and fully activated. Let’s grow together! 💚🔥

Transplanting Time – Moving Up!
The Permanent Marker girls have thrived in their early veg phase, and they’re now ready for a major milestone: transplanting into their final pots. The roots are vigorous, white, and beautifully spread, a sign of healthy development.
• New pots: 11L Zamnesia fabric pots – breathable, root-friendly, ideal for organic soil
• Transplant timing: Perfect—plants are strong, compact, and ready for more space
• Structure: Both selected phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) are extremely similar—vigorous, balanced, and symmetrical. PM#3 will be kept as a backup. From the beginning, this was a “3 to keep 2” plan, and now we follow through.

About the Genetics
Permanent Marker is a strain that needs no introduction in the craft cannabis world. Bred by Doja Pak x Seed Junky x DEO Farms, and now shared through Zamnesia Seeds, this cross of Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx is known for its deep purple colors, greasy resin, and explosive terpene profiles.
In this grow, we are not only testing potential, but celebrating this modern cultivar by giving it a perfect environment to shine.

🌱 Super Soil Recipe – Building a Living Medium
To support the organic journey, we’ve built a super soil blend based on Aptus Holland’s organic nutrient system. Here’s what went in:
• Micromix – Boosts microbial life and supports soil biodiversity
• All-in-One Pellets – Slow-release, balanced macro + micro nutrition
• Substrate Buffer Powder – Stabilizes pH and improves nutrient availability
• Mycorrhizae – Applied directly in contact with the root zone to support colonization and nutrient exchange
This mix is pre-mixed thoroughly before transplanting, giving the roots an environment rich in nutrition, oxygen, and microbial harmony.

💧 First Watering After Transplant – Intentional Feeding
For the initial watering post-transplant, we’re using Aptus Holland’s liquid line to help the roots settle in and activate the soil life:
• Start Booster – To stimulate root branching and microbial synergy
• All-in-One Liquid – A balanced, fast-absorbing nutrient base
• CalMag Boost – To avoid any early deficiencies and strengthen cell walls
• Regulator – Enhances nutrient uptake, strengthens tissue, and reduces transplant stress
This feeding is low EC, highly bioavailable, and structured to support a soft transition with zero shock.

🔍 Pheno Notes – Structure & Selection
• PM#1 and PM#2 are being kept based on uniformity, growth speed, and leaf morphology
• PM#3 is healthy, but as per the plan, it will remain as a backup
• All phenos are compact and symmetrical, which aligns with Permanent Marker’s known characteristics
• We’re curious to see how stretch and resin production evolve in coming weeks

💬 Final Thoughts – On Growth & Community
This week marks a turning point, from rooting to expanding. The girls are moving into their adult homes, and with that comes the real shaping of structure, terpene profiles, and eventual flower power.
We’re thankful to be walking this journey with support from brands we trust, and from a community that lifts each other up.
🌍 Dognabis Cup is not just a competition, it’s a celebration of craft, learning, and expression.
We invite everyone to follow along, ask questions, and maybe even start their own diary in the Cup spirit.
