In this week, the only concern and things I monitor daily are the temperature and humidity. Temperature should always be around 20C-23C, while humidity should be around 60-70%. No nutrients is given to the plant just balance ph of water (6.5) if the top soil is dry.

Popped the Mighty Grape and the Dosidos Zkittlez in a cup of water on 5/3 and then in moist paper towels after 5 hours. Both germinated just fine after a day with the Mighty Grape growing alot faster than the Dos Z.

Leaf scaring getting worse but seems to have stopped progressing. Buds look amazing and can't complain about tricome production.

Todo viene muy bien, aplicamos LST a todas las plantas, exceptuando a 1 que no se que le pasa, presenta manchas en sus hojas y va mutando las manchas a todos los nuevos brotes. A la hora de hacer LST, a 1 de las plantas se le arranco una hoja y en otra de los plantas el tallo se quebró muy apenas, esperemos que no las estresen demasiado.

🌿 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.

Not sure what more I can say that I didn’t say above. Patience, patience,patience! Veg longer with LED because they won’t stretch as much as you anticipate. They are very forgiving to a point and my nutes were organic until the end when I used kool bloom!to increase yield and made them a little unhappy. Cheers to dinafem for the best of the best when it comes to genetics!00

They are still growing nicely, continuing to bush out since LST. A healthy green & what will be a bunch of future bud sites keep showing up daily.

This week all 3 Pheno continue to stretch, which likely will continue through end next week (week 4 flower). Fed girls Recharge prior to defoliation at the end of week. Day and night tent temperatures were constantly between 78F and 65F degrees. Relative humidity a consistent 55%. Using an online calculator found VPD range from day 1.48 (kPa) to 0.95 (kPa) at night. About as closed to optimum as one can get given existing equipment/tools and recent substantial rain in the SoCal region. Due for watering tomorrow, so prior to, I will top dress with worm castings, compost, and Langbeinite 0-0-22. I believe this should carry the 3 through to harvest. Breeder flower time listed is between 56 and 70 days. We are at day 20 flower as of today.

End of week 4 and all is going well, had a slight calcium issue on a couple of leaves, but it was corrected and all is good again. This girl is responding well to the nutes, but my run-off is getting a little high, that should change when I cut out the Flora Micro and just feed calmag, Dnectar and KoolBoom for the next couple of weeks. Any comments or suggestions? Wish me luck.... just a few weeks to harvest now.

I am now flushing her with plain Brita filtered water PH'd with lime juice to lower her PH. I initially first flushed her with 42L of water and now I am flushing her once a day for 8 days and then I will put her in for darkness for 3 days and then I will harvest her and dry her for 9 days and then cure her for 28-48 days.

Here's some video of day 11 of flower. You can't even tell I defoliated at the flip. Top left is London mint cake. It's the shortest plant and I'm hoping I don't need to reach it in the later stages of flower. Bottom left is rainbow cake and the big girl on the right is pineapple express. She's much more leggy considering I started them at the same time. Same nutrition amount as last week. Just letting them stretch out. No issues so far.

Crazy week growth-wise. Carl's exploded with growth, fan leaves are now relative to pot size. Another outstanding plant is UKBS 1, which has recovered from topping very vigorously and should make for an incredible indoor plant. In other news; UKBS 2 is still stretching. It's about 4" from the light now while the other plants are around 12". God knows why. The timelapse is up for this week, you can really see the incredible growth the plants have all undergone over the course of the week. Some LST may be taking place over the course of this next week, we'll have to see how the branches on namely UKBS 1. Had to move Carl 2 a little bit into the center of the tent as it was shading out/being shaded out by Carl 1. Carls are showing incredible symmetry, despite the top/fim/whatever the fuck I did lol. Updates are coming throughout the coming week; as usual. -3/21/2021 - Started LST on UKBS 1 and gave UKBS 2 some kushman's chiropractic -3/23/2021 - Topped carl 2 again at both pre-topped nodes, in the hopes it'll bush out some more. I'm thinking it'll be a very nice indoor plant. Also topped UKBS 2, again in the hopes it'll bush out a little bit and stop growing so fucking vertically.

Week 9 technically, first week was getting the seeds and germing! So the boiler is now fixed and me my family and my plants are all benefitting from the warmth! :) I'm worried about one plant as its flowers are small and have been that way for a while, I'm gunna put it down to cold and pH issue's, I've learned that lesson now and back on the pH pen! Never water without it! Oh and keep your pots warm!
