Week 7 of Veg. 4x4 filled out very nicely. Added in a 2nd 500W light and spread the plants out a bit more to allow more airflow/light penetration. Now the fun begins :D

12 days to full transplantable roots. Right on schedule as expected. Moved 6 of the 12 clones (1 per plant) into a new 45L Rez that I cobbled together in an evening. Just small enough to fit into the cabinet. Hopefully the roots don’t choke each other out for territory while we work to reveg, re-flower and ultimately seed em all for the new F3 line. We’ll pick the best buds from the lot for the next testing run once we see what the pheno variation looks like from the main run in the tent. It’s a process and annoyance not to be yielding bud off a grow cycle but it is what it is if you want your own signature stuff. Alls good for now. Let’s just hope that the 6 coats of paint I threw on the lid is enough to keep out the grow light penetration🤞. Shoulda used black, whatever.

🌿 Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip | Grow Diary #268 / 750 "From Seed to Gold – The Beginning of the Drip" There are collaborations, and then there are moments. This one — Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Nectar Drip — is something truly special. Only 750 packs were made worldwide, and we are honored to be growing pack #268. Every detail of this release speaks of art, precision, and love for the culture — from the gold-embossed wasp that guards the box to the wax seal, signed certificate, grinder, joint holder, stickers, and plant tags. It’s not just a seed pack — it’s a statement of style and devotion. We feel humbled and grateful to Zamnesia and TICAL for this gift — for trusting us with the chance to bring their art to life through nature. Thank you for going above and beyond, and for giving this grower community a collector’s piece that will live on through every leaf and bud that follows. Clean Room, Clean Energy – Sterilization & Preparation Before any seed touched water, the temple had to be purified. Preparation is everything, and we take cleanliness as seriously as lighting or nutrients. The entire 8 × 8 ft (≈ 2.4 × 2.4 m) tent was stripped down and deep-cleaned — every corner, fan blade, and duct. We vacuumed all surfaces, then washed with a bleach solution, followed by a hydrogen-peroxide-infused rinse for maximum sanitation. But this run, we added something new to our ritual: UVC sterilization. We’re using the Future of Grow UVC-60, a compact yet powerful UVC device that emits germicidal light to neutralize unseen contaminants — mold spores, bacteria, and viruses — both on surfaces and in the air. For a full week before introducing the plants, the UVC-60 ran for 12 hours each day, moved to different positions daily to ensure complete coverage throughout the tent. ⚠️ Safety Note: UVC light is extremely effective, but it is not safe for direct human exposure. Never operate the device while anyone (or pets) are inside the room. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and UVC-rated safety glasses when handling or repositioning the unit. UVC light can cause skin and eye damage if used without proper precautions — always treat it with the same respect as any high-energy sterilization tool. This extra layer of preparation brings peace of mind and a true reset — a sterile, radiant environment ready for new life. Clean space, clean start, clean energy. That’s how the Nectar Drip begins. 🌱 Germination – The Ritual Begins We’ve just placed our seeds in a CannaKan germination system, using a mix of 80% purified water + 20% hydrogen peroxide to give them the perfect start. Now, we wait — patiently, excitedly — for the first signs of life. In a few days, we’ll share which of these golden beans pop open first. Every germination is a small miracle, and we’ll treat it like one. 💡 The Future of Grow – Lighting the Golden Path This journey unfolds under the glow of the Future of Grow Air Grow Pro III Hyper Red, powered and precisely controlled by the Nova 2C Pro system. We believe in balance between technology and intuition, and this LED setup gives us the spectrum and control to truly tune the grow — from seedling to harvest — in harmony with the plant’s rhythm. Expect future updates on the light settings, environment, and feedback as the plants develop. 🌾 The Foundation – Powered by PLAGRON A strong plant begins with a strong foundation. For this grow, we’re proud to be working with Plagron, one of the most trusted names in cultivation. Our soil base is the Plagron Bio LightMix — a lightly fertilized, organic substrate made from premium peat, perlite, and high-quality worm castings. Its airy structure ensures perfect root oxygenation and drainage, while its soft nutrient profile makes it ideal for seedlings and young plants. The Bio LightMix also supports a thriving micro-life within the soil — letting the roots and beneficial organisms work together naturally from day one. For feeding, we’ll be using Plagron Terra Grow during the vegetative phase — a fast-acting mineral base nutrient that provides essential macro- and micronutrients directly available to the plant. Once we enter flowering, we’ll transition to Terra Bloom, to fully unlock the potential of the Nectar Drip genetics. 🌿 The Nutrient Philosophy We believe in the synergy of organic and mineral — a balance between living soil energy and precise control. The Bio LightMix gives the roots life and breath, while the Terra line gives us accuracy and stability in feeding. Together, they allow the plants to express their full spectrum of flavor, structure, and potency — clean, consistent, and powerful. Later in this diary, we’ll explore the additives and boosters that will complement the foundation, fine-tuning this grow to perfection. But for now, it all begins here — in the rich, golden soil. ✨ Gratitude & Community This project isn’t just ours — it belongs to everyone who shares this passion. We want to thank Zamnesia, TICAL, Plagron, and Future of Grow for their innovation, creativity, and trust. Each partner brings something essential: art, science, light, and life. And of course — thank you, the community. To the long-time followers, the newcomers, the curious, the critics, the friends — you’re all welcome here. Every comment, every bit of love or challenge helps us grow stronger. This is a space for respect, passion, and learning — together. 🌟 The Mission This grow is a celebration of collaboration and creativity — where art meets earth. We’ll document every step, from germination to harvest, and later bring this entire journey to life through a YouTube episode that captures the spirit behind the Nectar Drip collaboration — the gold, the glow, the grind, and the gratitude. Stay tuned — the Nectar Drip begins now. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 #Zamnesia #TICAL #NectarDrip #GoldenGrow #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #CannaKan #GrowDiaries #SeedToGold 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6000 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens. 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.

Entering the second week of growing for the Orange Diesel, I am finally relaxing a bit. It was so close to death with it's germination issue, but the "seed surgery" saved it and it seems to be recovering. It's a bit small compared to the Blue Dream'Matic growing under the same conditions, but it's leaves are healthy and it's putting out new growth. It's going to get it's nutrients dialed up just a little, and the lights are being lowered slowly, to dial in it's optimal grow conditions. Unless she explodes with growth I am going to avoid any topping later in the grow and focus instead on some gentle LST (if needed). I am including a timelapse that mainly covers my Blue Dream'Matic, but shows some of the growth of the 🍊 in the foreground. In future weeks I hope to get more of both the plants centered in the video. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍

The Skunk Apple Run plant is still tiny, unfortunately. It's got a serious problem with its leaves – almost all of them are burnt. I'm not sure what's going on there, but I'm going to have to figure it out before it's too late. The new year is off to a frosty start! We've had snow falling for what feels like forever. My kids are loving it, of course. They're building forts, having snowball fights, and turning everything into a winter wonderland. It's been a lot of fun to watch them enjoy it. All this snow is really making me think about how quickly time flies. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the holidays, and now here we are knee-deep in winter. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, but for now, I'm enjoying the quiet beauty of fresh snow.

D99. At the start of week nine of flower, and there's not much to report. I gave each girl 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.7 with fulvic acid and bokashi juice. ------------------------------ D102. The flowers are slowly putting on weight. A few of the thinner branches have started to lean under the weight. Lower leaves are slowly dying. A couple of weeks until chop. Maybe...? I'll let the trichomes decide. I brewed up some compost tea (worm castings, neem, kelp, rock dust, biochar, molasses) and gave each girl 2.5 liters of tea @ pH. 6.3. ------------------------------ D105. At the end of week nine of flower, there's still not much to report except that their senescence is slowly progressing. I took a quick peek at the trichomes and saw plenty of clear, so it will still take a while longer before the girls are done. I gave each girl 2 liters of water @ pH 6.8 with humic acid and FFJ. ------------------------------

We had a mainline break and the clone is doing well so far so good but this main line break down the main stem with actually a blessing in disguise. Next week's post you will see all the new colas that were formed as a result of the stress induced here I will create an artificial knuckle using wire, masking tape and gorilla glue. The reason I will reinforce it is so that when I do high stress training again the split won't break open again.

This week I fed Tea ☕️ that consisted of my own worm castings from the bin I made a few months back, molasses for the microbes , and a chicken manure product from Coop Poop. I can already see the difference, unless that’s my mind playing tricks on me, but I like to think that it is working! I think my own castings are the real catalyst to new growth; both now as well as in the future! I did check the trichomes on the plants that seem to be entering senescence (final stage of life). They seem to be still somewhat clear, so I will wait at least another week to harvest. As far as everything else, it has been an easy, uneventful, grow! ☮️💚

So the second seed of Ze Chem Bang is struggling. It has been growing slowly. It's my last seed so hopefully it roots the solution soon. It will have a much better chance of survival once it does. It can go either way at this point. The rock wool has gotten already growth from being wet for too long. So 🤞🏻 it goes well. Thank you Medic Grow, and Terpyz mutant Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

She’s been stacking super fast and I think she may become the biggest and highest yielding plant I’ve grown thus far. Each cola has 3 nodes minimum. I love mephisto genetics. Beginning mid-flower nutes now. Flush pH 6.4, EC 0.33. Feed pH 6.5, EC 1.01.

Ran into a lot of problems this week unfortunately. Some of buds developed a fungus(botrytis). Don't know how to stop this as I'm growing outdoors. Nevertheless, the buds that are clean are growing nicely. Hopefully into the home stretch of the grow now.

Welcome to week 6 of flower! Well not a great deal to put in this week but it’s all been about fatness and the lady’s seam to be packing on there size in there buds. One of the big buds has a nute lock out so she was flushed and then fed the rest of the lady’s are just powering on. They have really upped there nute uptake and being fed twice a week with water every second day. We have added in exit this feed today to assist them in getting even bigger dense buds. As this is our first indoor fem seed grow I’m rather happy with how it’s all turning out, there is just solid 8-9” colas forming on all the plants. The gold leaf that had nanas on it has stopped producing them and is still outside. I do look forward to smoking her as she is looking rather nice like the gals in the tent. Until next week 🤙🏻🤙🏻
