Started the diary late... Basically vegged 4 plants for 4 weeks in airpots. i prefer to used LED for veg. I get shorter internodes. I didnt feed the plants any additional nutrients so far, only water. I did some low stress training and some topping so far. Im looking to switch to 600w hps but its rly hot rn.

Unfortunate Week... Honey cream had a couple of "budrot" spots forming due to droplets of water dripping into the flower and not drying (99%humidity nights)... Thankfully those buds were cut down and she doesn't seem to be producing any more "budrot".. Apart from that, the smell is amazing on her. Power Flower is going nicely too, but seems to not have too much smell...

took my old filters from my full ecosystem fish tank and rinsed them out in the water i gave to the girls. This will be just the same as using fish shit and it will make the buds big and sticky. Next week will tell if it worked.

This was a beautiful strain to grow. With her flowers getting big towards the end of harvest as well as the purple colours! I would definitely recommend that you try grow this strain. The buds are super dense and very well formed. An absolute treat to smoke and look at.

10.06 - I planted 11 Savage seeds and 10 OG Lemonade seeds for germination. I use a heat propagator, a few drops of hydrogen dioxide for disinfection, and a few drops of clonex. 12.06 - Tommorow all will sprout and I will put them into the 1,5L pot! 13.06 - 21 / 21 Sprouted all in the pots. I add 700g Earth Vibe Soil from Lurpe Solution for 50L of Soil. 14.06 - I'm waiting for them. This time is always full of stress. It will appear or no ? :P I add some my genetics to help them :P. 18.06 - I hope that till tomorrow they will all show up and I can start a first veg week. 22.06 - For this moment I have a 19/21. I accidentally damaged it with my hunger-shaking hand. remember to get to work on germination and cuttings after you have eaten. Now I waiting for leafs and switching on first Veg week.

🌿 Permanent Marker — Final Report From Seed to Harvest, Numbers to Resin (Week 13 from Seed / End of Journey) ⸻ 🌟 A Closing Note Before We Begin This is the final chapter of the Permanent Marker diary. The cover is already done, the story is already lived — and now it’s time to put the numbers, the techniques, and the results on the table, clearly and honestly. If you’re just joining the diary here, I strongly invite you to scroll back and read the full journey. This grow was documented with love, transparency, and detail from seed to harvest — and it truly deserves to be seen as a whole. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — The Journey Two phenotypes. Same genetics. Two completely different expressions. • Pheno #1 – tall, expressive, stretching toward the light, dense and compact buds, strong color expression late in flower. • Pheno #2 – shorter, more compact plant structure, slightly fluffier buds, deep greens, elegant and balanced. Both were grown organically, with patience and respect for the plant’s rhythm. ⸻ ⚖️ Final Harvest Numbers • Permanent Marker – Pheno #1: ➜ 249 grams dry & cured • Permanent Marker – Pheno #2: ➜ 212 grams dry & cured ✅ Total Final Yield: ➡️ 461 grams of dry, cured, high-quality medicine These numbers come from fully cured material, not fresh-dry or early-weighed flowers. ⸻ 💡 Energy & Efficiency The plants occupied only part of the tent space, using approximately: • ~300 watts total Considering the quality, density, and terpene richness of the final product, these are numbers I’m extremely happy with — especially knowing this was grown with an organic, low-input philosophy, letting the soil and biology do the work. ⸻ ✂️ Trim & Post-Harvest Handling Both phenos were handled exactly the same way, to keep comparisons fair: • Whole-plant hang dry • ~14 days drying • Hand-trimmed only • Trim Bin used for clean separation • Careful bud handling with fingers and scissors • No rushing, no machines, no shortcuts After trimming, everything was stored and cured in Grove Bags, labeled with Zamnesia tags for long-term organization and traceability. ⸻ Cure & Smoke After 2–2.5 months of curing, both phenos showed: • Very similar terpene profiles • Loud floral notes • Clean burn • Beautiful finger ash • Smooth smoke Different structures, same soul. ⸻ Extractions — Low Temp, High Expression This genetic truly shines when extracted. 🔥 Pressing Setup • Press: 7-ton press • Material: Flower • Bagged & pressed • Wrapped in parchment paper Press Parameters • Temperature: ~69°C • Press Time: ~4–5 minutes Post-Press • Cold cured for ~2 months The result was exceptional: • Extremely rich terpene preservation • Clean, expressive flavor • Resin texture evolved beautifully over cure • Everything we described during flower translated directly into the extract Permanent Marker is clearly a top-tier extraction genetic. ⸻ 📸 Documentation & Photography This diary also explored visual documentation deeply: • Macro photography • Focus stacking • Some images composed of 200+ stacked photos for a single final image • Camera used: Sony a6000 + a6700 + Sony full-frame gear + macro lens • Editing and photo stacking done in Affinity Photo 2 For those curious: Photo stacking is a technique where multiple images at different focus depths are combined to create one ultra-sharp image , some of the ones shared here are a combination of over 60 photos converted in a single one — essential for trichomes and resin documentation. All photos and videos shared here are part of that process. ⸻ 🏆 Dognabis Cup — Final Push The Dognabis Cup is now fully active. • Diaries are live • Grows are progressing • Community is sharing and learning 📅 End date: January 31st There is still time to grow, document, and submit. My honest advice to everyone participating: Put your best into it — not for the prize, but for yourself. The prizes are amazing, but the experience is worth even more. ⸻ 💚 Gratitude — From the Heart A deep thank you to all sponsors, partners, and supporters, equally and sincerely: Zamnesia Seeds, Ocogenectica Seeds, Aptus Holland, ThinkGrow, Future of Grow, Skunk Magazine, FOG, Grove Bags, DaggaDNA, Popeyes Passion, Imperial Seeds, TrolMaster And thank you to: • the community • the newcomers • the critics • the lovers • the haters You all shape the space we grow in. ⸻ 🌿 Closing This Chapter This diary was about more than yield. It was about: • patience • observation • honesty • learning • sharing Permanent Marker delivered — in structure, aroma, resin, and expression. And with this report, the chapter is now closed properly. 🌱 To grow is to share, to bloom is to connect — and through every cup, seed, and story, we keep the garden alive.

End of week 6, Beginning week 3 of flower for the OG Kush auto🍓🌱 Plant filled up the 60x60 cm tent entirely, and keep on stretching! And to think i was worried at the beginning that this plant won't get big 🤦🏽😅. I noticed some leaf curling/burning a bit, and some bleaching of 2 small leafs (not so sure about the bleaching), so i lowered the intensity of the cree cobs led to total 220W. This happened to me in my last grow (zkittles auto) as well. I guess the cobs can get too powerful for a small tent like that. I'll definitely keep an eye on that issue. Other then that all goes smoothly;) - I do some light defoliation to the plant every day, - in the next few days I'll do the big cleaning - lollipoping 🍭 and full defoliation. P.s - sorry about the bad lighting in this week's photos, I'll fix that next week✌️🏽

Woche 3 | Tag 16 Diese Woche machen die Gorilla Cookies richtig Spaß. Alle Pflanzen sehen gesund, zufrieden und stabil aus – genau so, wie man sie in diesem Stadium sehen will. 🌿 Eindruck auf den ersten Blick Sattes Grün, schöne Blattspannung, nichts hängt, nichts wirkt überfordert. Die Pflanzen stehen da wie: „Passt alles, lass uns einfach wachsen.“ Kein Stress sichtbar, keine komischen Flecken, keine Drama-Blätter. 📐 Wachstum & Aufbau Der Wuchs ist kompakt, nicht gestreckt, nicht gedrungen. Die Internodien sind angenehm kurz und die Seitentriebe melden sich langsam zu Wort. Der Haupttrieb führt zwar noch, aber nicht dominant – perfekt, um jetzt einzugreifen. Ganz ehrlich: Besser kann das Timing für LST kaum sein. Die Stiele sind noch weich, die Pflanze stark genug und mental 😄 absolut bereit. 🍃 Blätter Große, gesunde Fächerblätter – richtige Solarpanels. Die Blätter machen gerade exakt das, was sie sollen: Energie sammeln. 🌡️ Stress-Check Kein Über- oder Unterdüngungs-Gefühl Kein Hitze- oder Lichtstress Keine Verletzungen Die Pflanzen wirken ruhig und selbstbewusst. Genau das willst du bei einer Autoflower. 🧠 Autoflower-Gefühl Für Tag 16 sind sie voll im Soll, vielleicht sogar leicht drüber. Nicht wegen Größe, sondern wegen Struktur – und die entscheidet später über den Ertrag. Man merkt: 👉 Gute Bedingungen 👉 Sauberer Gießrhythmus 👉 Kein unnötiges Rumgefummel

Still not touching the plant or setup and just letting it be pretty much. Did a full tank water removal and started to add some Calcium Magnesium as I'm seeing some deficiencies on the leafs. So far this setup has been incredibly easy, haven't had to do anything, no topping, no training, etc. Could have used a scrog to keep the main branch a bit shorter but it looks like it should work out.
