Just checking the trichome heads daily to harvest them at the for me perfect moment.

11/17 removed nutrients from water, plant will be ready to harvest in a week or so, I'll be doing the flush until harvest. Buds did turn to a more noticeable purple, pistols are orange and shrinking. I have noticed a few trichomes starting to turn amber. I'm excited to see harvest dry weight, buds are very large.

She's 4 feet tall!!! Wow! I'm a little concerned about light burn, but don't notice any signs of light burn yet. And she will be going outdoors soon. But I'm very impressed with this girl so far! 👍

Hello, Day 77, Flower Phase , PGK, Final weeks of flower phase ongoing, Plant starting change color some leaves I can see some purple colors and mostly yellowish color. Trichomes still slightly cloudy and buds looks grate, smells also like tropical Mango ))) Temp is ok and TH also good at 65% these days. Thanks. Week 11 - Flower Phase Day 76 - 18/01/23 Day 77 - 19/01/23 Day 78 - 20/01/23

Day 92 (September 16th): so I’ve realized a PH issue in the soil… unfortunately it’s too late to make a drastic change, but I’ve lowered the PH in my water to try and level her out until harvest. This would explain my multitude of deficiencies I’ve been having. Still not sure how to better manage soil PH but you can be damn sure I’ll do my research so it won’t happen again. Soil is hard haha. Day 94: starting to see more and more amber trichomes. This will likely be my last week of flower. Should be ready around day 100. Let’s see what happens! Day 97: So I’m starting to think I was wrong… these may have more time than I thought still. I’m definitely okay with that. Hopefully they continue to produce and thicken up.

Pictures are from Day 91. Top Gun 2 is coming to the finish line, the whole tent reeks and starting to see good amounts of amber, although the buds aren’t as solid as I was hoping for. I could harvest as soon as today. This grow has been another great experience of learning about these awesome plants. Please also check out my gorilla cookies grow that went alongside these two topguns. Thanks!

Week 14 marks a special chapter for Nectar Drip. What started as a straight 12/12 from seed run has turned into one of the clearest side-by-side lessons in plant behavior this room has given us so far. Same room, same feed, same light cycle, same genetics—but two very different approaches, and now two very different outcomes. From seed, this run was split in philosophy. One Nectar Drip was trained early and shaped by hand. The others were left almost entirely untouched—no topping, no real intervention, just leaf tucking and enough space to do their thing. That contrast became the real experiment. By now, the result is hard to ignore: in this format, under 12/12 from seed, the less we interfere, the more the plant seems willing to give back. The trained plant stayed smaller, stacked tighter, and never fully matched the natural size or output of the untouched sisters. Still beautiful, still resin-heavy, still absolutely worth growing—but clearly the most reduced expression of the group. And that made the decision easy. This week, the trained Nectar Drip became the chosen plant for fresh frozen. Not because it underperformed—but because it offered the perfect candidate for something different. Smaller structure, dense flower, extreme resin coverage, and a terp profile too loud to ignore made it the obvious pick to sacrifice to the wash. Rather than drying it traditionally, the whole plant was harvested and frozen immediately to preserve the volatile compounds exactly as they were on the stem. That means this one is no longer headed for jars—it is headed for ice, agitation, and eventually bubble hash. For anyone unfamiliar with the process: “fresh frozen” means harvesting the plant and freezing it immediately after chop instead of drying and curing first. This preserves more of the volatile terpenes and allows the resin to be processed later into solventless extracts—most commonly ice water hash. In simple terms: instead of smoking this plant as flower, we freeze it now so we can wash it later and separate the trichome heads into hash. Same resin, different destination. And if any plant in this run deserved that treatment, it was this one. Even as the smallest of the group, it was dripping in frost from top to bottom. Thick trichome coverage, greasy heads, sticky stalks, and that unmistakable oily feel when touched—the kind of resin that tells you immediately this cultivar has extraction potential. The aroma made the decision even easier: fruit up front, skunk underneath, something creamy in the middle, and a strange almond-like edge that keeps showing up every time the flower is handled. Loud, weird, greasy, and complex—exactly the kind of profile worth preserving in fresh frozen form. The remaining plants are still standing, and this is where the room shifts into its final phase. At this point, the living Nectar Drips are no longer being fed in the traditional sense. This week is water only, using collected rainwater and reclaimed dehumidifier water, with a small amount of enzymes to help break down remaining organics in the root zone. No more push. No more force. Just clean hydration, natural fade, and enough biological support to keep the substrate active while the plants finish at their own pace. It is the final reduction phase now—less input, more observation. And the plants are responding exactly the way they should. Fade is accelerating across the room now, and this is the kind of late-flower senescence we want to see. Fans are pulling color, chlorophyll is retreating, and the plants are beginning to cannibalize what remains in reserve. This is not deficiency panic—it is end-of-life behavior. The engine is shutting down naturally. Energy is no longer going into leaf production or structural growth. Everything is being redirected toward resin, ripening, and final flower maturation. Morphologically, that means the stretch is long over and the architecture is locked. What we are seeing now is finish work. Calyxes will continue to swell. Bracts should tighten. Resin heads will continue shifting from clear to cloudy. Aromatics will intensify. Leaf mass will continue fading back. Water uptake will begin slowing. The flowers are no longer building size the way they did two weeks ago—they are building finish. And that finish is already obvious. Buds across all remaining plants are dense, compact, and far heavier than their frame suggests. The untouched plants especially proved the point this run has been hinting at from the start: in this style of cultivation, less handling allowed for stronger vertical development, better natural structure, and ultimately more productive flowering sites. No topping, no recovery, no unnecessary stress—just uninterrupted forward motion. The difference is visible now in both size and final output. What happens next is simple: patience. There is no hard harvest date yet, and there does not need to be. From here forward, timing belongs to the trichomes. Right now, heads are mostly cloudy with very little amber present, which means we are entering the harvest window—but not fully inside it yet. Clear means early. Cloudy means peak THC. Amber means degradation begins shifting the effect. Until those heads begin showing the level of amber we want, these plants stay standing. So now we wait, watch, and let them decide. The room is loud. The flowers are greasy. Frost is everywhere. The fade is beautiful. The smell is ridiculous. Fruit, skunk, cream, funk, and something strangely nutty underneath. Sticky, oily, loud, and getting louder by the day. Nectar Drip has been a special one. Big respect to TICAL and Zamnesia for this collaboration—this cultivar has been loud, unique, and unforgettable from start to finish. Huge thanks as always to everyone following along, whether you have been here since day one or just landed in the diary this week. To the regulars, the silent watchers, the growers, the learners, the curious ones, the supporters, the skeptics, the OGs, the new faces, the lovers and the haters—thank you for being part of the ride. Big love to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document the process, and respect to every sponsor and supporter helping keep this garden moving. One plant went to the freezer. The rest are headed for the finish line. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

Siamo quasi alla fine! Durante la settimana dovremmo essere arrivati al massimo gonfiore dei fiori, i tricomi sono praticamente per metà color latte e per metà leggermente trasparenti, penso che quella di oggi sia stata l'ultima bagnata. Ho tagliato due apicali a campione della pianta che avevo il dubbio fosse ermafrodita, ma da questi due apicali non è uscito nemmeno un seme e l'effetto è stato quello desiderato, tenendo presente che le ho tagliate in anticipo rispetto a quando sarebbero da consumare quindi direi che dovrei aver scampato il pericolo, me ne sono accorto in tempo. Non vedo l'ora di toglierle e vedere l'effettiva resa del raccolto, dovrei essere sui 400g 😁😁🍀🍀💪🏼💪🏼

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. Things are going good in here. The resin production has really kicked in now. Smells just wonderful in here. Like a sweet orange flavored chalky candy. Delicious. Big snow fall last night. Big for here on the west coast of Canada. 30 to 40 cm fell here and I was worried about my little humming birds. It's been -4*c here the last 2 nights. The weather says -8*c tonight with wind. I don't know how they do it, they are just so small to sit on a branch and make it through the freezing night. Such amazing little birds. It took me 2.5 hours to dig out this morning. Have fun. Chuck.

😁😁😁 Hi grow mates 😁😁😁 As day 43 arrived we are opening 7th week of my grow journey. Like you can see from the photos girls started to blooms wildly. Purple Lemonade is getting absolutely purple, flowers gets density and aroma. Cinderella !! Wow !! Here is an interesting one. She is huge, I never had so many flowers sites on one plant. She's tall girl 118 cm !! Bruce Banner, she is a real mystery. She started to blooms like all her sisters, but looks a little shy. I think she need just more time. From previous experiences, I know that the "shy" ones gave best results. Fingers crossed 🤞 Day 44 Purple Lemonade 81 cm Original Cinderella 118 cm !! Bruce Banner 90 cm I wish you all, All the best 😇

Fun to grow and took to lst and supercropping very well. I am keeping a mother of the stinkiest pheno I got. I made some other seeds that I will be growing out after Jinxproof's pheno hunt. I will be doing a few grows coming up here and its going to be gnarly! Stay tuned in for modern genetics that have been tested and stabilized. These were bag seed from regular seed of LA confidential given to a friend that won them in a giveaway from DNA Genetics.

Colhi ela e já arranquei a maioria das folhas pra ajudar na secagem por causa da umidade muito alta. Bati um gelo das folhas, rendeu 2.5g original. Ficou bem potente e com um sabor marcante de uva citrica doce. Não consegui pesar ela molhada. No final da secagem quero pesar tudo pra ver quanto rendeu no total. Loading... Jah Bless

Flipped to flowering 3.11

June25:🤦‍♂️🏿🙆‍♂️🏿🤷‍♂️🏿 June27: the lizards have attacked again... for this... today we are going to raise the girls and place a mesh June28: I have no idea how they did it... but they got in again!

Week one of flower 325 ppm 6.0 pH 65 F water temp. 71 F tent temp. 41 % RH Things are looking good. The girls are looking nice and healthy. The small one isn’t gonna catch up though lol. Oh well we will see what happens now.

The seeds had problems to sprout, but after the second week the plant exploded in growth. I have limited space so I am doing multiple harvests to try and maximize all buds. This week I harvested the tops and in the next 1-2 weeks will do the rest of the plant. Updated Week 8 harvest 68 dry Week 9 harvest 85 dry Week 10 harvest 34 + 25 (popcorn) dry Total: 212

- Day 70 Did a reservoir change today. Seems like she will need at least 3-4 weeks more with how the buds seem like they have quite a bit to go. But very happy with her so far! Day 71 She drunk a lot less today for the first time in a while., didn't have to top up the water but did have to bring pH back down from 6.6 to 6.1. Also did quite a defoliation of leaves that were starting to be completely yellow. Day 72 Aaaand today she drank almost the whole reservoir lol. Had to top her up completely with some 6.1 pH water. Day 73 Still drinking a lot of water, but the pH stayed at 6.0. I guess this means she is starting to eat less nutrients now. Day 74 Interesting, pH stayed at 6.0 again. She also seemed to have drunk a lot less today as I barely had to top up the water. Day 75 pH only dropped to 5.9 today, barely any water gone again. Interesting that she seems to have stopped drinking a lot already while I feel that the flowers still have a lot of bulking up to do. Also did a bigger defoliation of the yellowing leaves, an amazing citrussy smell fills the air when I defoliate.

2/12/2024: started seeing some pistols turning orange, and as mentioned last week she's got a sweet, floral, and light citris scent at this point. 2/13/2024: watered in with some BuildABloom, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and some coconut powder.
