Werde sie denke jetzt so lassen wie sie ist. Bin Mega zufrieden für mein erstes Outdoor Projekt. Die Farbe lila ist einfach Mega und der Geruch steigert einfach nur die Freude auf die Verkostung. 😄

I did this beautiful girl a strong defoliation and let's see together what kind of girl she will be in the end, in 10 days I completely filled the 120/120 tent with the plant and then I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 🌞🌋💚

Week 3 of Flowering is here Very excited to start the next week And see the buds Sites expand 👀 Day 15 Critical For weeks I have bin watering when come home and turn lights on . But because I had issues with humidity . I started giving them water in morning when go to work and shut the light off. And i think that worked well . They are looking good and growing nice there some higher buds so it not a even feeld but this my first grow ever . So i am already happy how it is going 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Day 16 Critical FRUIT FLIES !!!! i saw that dam bastards last night so ordered me some fly repellent sticky what ever you call those from Amazon hope they catch them all . Plants are doing fine in my 👀 . I am not giving them water now but in the morning when the lights go out and i go to work . That's all folks Day 17 Critical Did nothing to them only gave them the required nutrients in the morning. Day 18 Cookies Gelato Left them alone today having some personal issues off my own . That makes difficult to work on the plants hopefully tomorrow will be better Day 19 Critical I measured plants today and there about 90 to 95 cm from soil to top. Slitlly getting worried again about hight they are. I hope the grow spurt is over and bud formation will be intensifying . I think if i didn't use any technieks that i would be sol right now . Hope for the best Day 20 Critical Did something stupid today i left the light on for 18 hours and was afraid i fryed them . But luckily nothing dramatic happened . Not hopefully i didn't do much stress on them . I gave all the plants 1L of water pH 6.5 . And start letting them dry out some . Day 21 Critical Last day of week 3 Flowering This week went fast had couple mistake of my own . But luckily my reliable @MarsHydro TS-1000 save me from a catastrophe .

Heya farmers, Week 3 and things are still going great, decided to start training. the splashing from the dripper ring has caused some salt damage to the stem and lower leaves, I managed to fix this by adding more hydroton. I'm replacing the reservoir every week, topping it off throughout the week, I will keep bending branches down from this point on, trying to create an even canopy. only recorded part of the week in this weeks video, my little kittens kept disabling the feed by running across the keyboard. Thats it for this week!

Excited I got to run and test this genetic. Was very pleased with the result and would run it again. Very frosty, Dense nugs, and great fruity/gassy aromas. Great flavor, nice hybrid.

Not much to report this week so far. Slightly defoliated above the Scrog to allow more light penetration for the lower branches. Plants starting to stretch abit now but nothing to bad.

This week I noticed that there have been no new pollen balls to pluck. All the new growth/pre-flowers on the herms continue to look 100% female. I am hoping my experiment worked and they have been saved, but we'll see. They will stay secluded to be on the safe side. I transplanted everything into 5 Gallon buckets. I also purchased a new grow kit. It came with a 4(w)*8(L)*6(h) tent, intake fan/exhaust fan/ducting, and 3 LED lights. Two are 2000W and one is 1200W. Hope the babies like their new home! Any thoughts or suggestions for improvement please drop them in the comments!

2024-11-27 to 2024-12-02 The first time I grew Chernobyl, the plant was dense and unruly with thick, lush vegetation. In fact, the plant took up so much room in my tent that I have it to a friend to finish outdoor. It showed signs of bud rot early in the flowering period and luckily, most of it was saved from itself. In addition, the stems of this strain are more hollow and brittle, gaining thickness quickly and making Low Stress Training a difficult task that requires patience when working the branches around the LST clips. I have broken many branches on a Chernobyl plant even when applying care and caution. It requires getting the plant to the shape and size you need early, so that silica can be added to strengthen the branches in prep for those killer nugs. They are taking about .5 gallons of feed every other day.

This week the resin increased considerably compared to last weeks, we hope to be harvesting in approximately 2-3 more weeks.

Beginning of week 13 was harvest time! Checking the trichomes on their main buds led to the decision to harvest them. Almost all of them had already milky looking heads and some of them even turned amber. Their incredibly sour smell was barely tolerable as well. Made the decision to harvest them all at once, so the grow room can be turned into a drying room for them. Since this is considered an experiment after all, we wanted to try out wet trimming as well to compare it to the dry trim we're used to. So considering #3 had the least amount of effort due to the low amount of head buds overall, we choose that one to be wet trimmed. It surely was a very sticky and still time-consuming activity, but we're pretty happy with the result. Can't wait to see and taste them when they're finally ready, dried properly and cured a bit! This is plant #2. She still remained my absolute favorite one of them, having the biggest and most beautiful looking main buds. Would've expected a bigger stretch at the start of flowering though, so her branches were still growing pretty close to each other, which isn't that bad but also wasn't really the desired look overall. Plant #2 is one of the dry trim ones. Just made sure to remove the biggest leaves that could prevent a good airflow between the buds when they're hung up.

Had to tie down some mains diagonally. She has more stretch than her mother for sure. Smells super skunky with that sweet candy in the background right now. Feeding every other day.

🌿 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.

Die Autos sind geerntet.die tropicana Cookies purple Auto hat sehr große, kompakte Blüten, bei der hat der grauschimmel bei zwei Pflanzen an den mainbuds zugeschlagen, fat Banana Auto und Apple fritter Auto hatten an den Seitentrieben je eine kleine Stelle. Für mich Signal, zu ernten. Die trichome sind alle milchig, aber kaum Bernsteinfarben. Mehr dazu nach dem Trocknen. Hab sie probiert. Sehr guter Rauch schon 👍 Banane und Apfel, so wie erwartet 👌tropicana je nach pheno, mal Maracuja Aroma, mal Ananas und alle drei Sorten seeehr potent💪. Die feminisierten banana stretchen schon, sind jetzt über 1,10m, Larry, AK und Lemon warten noch auf die vorblüte, wachsen also munter weiter.. Es läuft sehr gut 👍😊der Balkon ist zu 80%voll. bis nächste Woche ✌️

Week 7 for the strawberry gorilla from fastbuds 420!!! We gave the last week of xpert nutrients feeding and will continue now with only water, harvest time is soon and at the moment the buds are looking great, nice smell in the tent and the buds are nice and covered in trichomes! The plants are not that big but of course i have quite some plants together in the tent and 7 liter pots so they stayed a little smaller, next time i will do maybe less plants but with the bigger 420 fastbuds airpots!
