Hi all! 😊👊 Week 1 flower

Took some photos for the Christmast contest! I changed my nickname, I've started on GrowDiaries just to post one question, but it hooked me. Now I need a better brand: Big Beautiful Weed. Just perfect. It's Bud Porn time! New phone, as you can notice, with better camera and allows to use the microscope. So much better! I took a million pictures. Startedtoday, flush at day 60. Probably I should have start to flush the Gelato a bit earlier, is already showing some amber. [UPDATE: No! And is been a mistake realized in week 10, I started flushing too early, still two weeks to go at best from this week 9] Maybe less then a week before I chop her. It will be couchlock, if I have to guess, and is what I was looking for. Overall, and besides the photoperiodic Gelato I had to kill, I'm veeery happy of how is turning out. The colour from Outer Space, that's it. OG Kush Auto in my germination space denands more light, and her diary!

GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍 WEEK #2 DAY 9: She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently . She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old . The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested . This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain! Week 1 issues: The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating) Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9. She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg. I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow . I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner . If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “. If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it . Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined . Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in . (Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .) Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her . I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed

👍🏻

Today was the day! Both girls have been chopped at day 55 of flower. Reason being is after 2 days of plain water **(I’m aware this is a short flush, but nutes were tapered down in the week leading up to this, then with plain non pH’d water there was 6 fertigations, 4l per plant per time over the last 48 hours - the runoff has been coming out plain 0.3EC tap water, same as the inflow).** The trichomes that we’re only cloudy on top had began to change over to amber and the lowers that were clear became milky after having plain water so I pulled them down for peak potency. Maybe could have had a couple days more but not the end of the world I am still very happy so far with the result from what I can see so far. I have just removed the largest fan leaves off and separated into branches or more like clusters of tops on branches. In a couple days I will probably remove a little more leaves or if they are drying evenly and nicely I will just remove them when I dry trim. They are now hung inside the tent, aiming for 18-20°C temps & set to 50% RH, hooked up to a Inkbird Humidity Controller and a dehumidifier. Hoping these will take a week to ten days to dry so the flavour and smell is not lost. Both Phenos of this strain have come out in beautiful colours under the torch on video, I can’t wait to see them both when their dry and all trimmed up in all their glory. That’s all for this week, in 7-10 days hopefully they are dry and I will update with the harvest week with the final weights and some trimmed up pictures! 🤙🏻🙏🏻💚

I'm in the fade waiting for 30% amber it's taking forever tho, no amber as of yet on any plant also the barneys farm runtz muffin strain hermed on me...😮‍💨also put the runtz muffin in 3days of darkness Friday chopped today Tuesday Sept 5

So far so good. Frost Banger is showing some purple hues and the Purple Haze is full on developing purple buds. The FBA2504 is my fav in this run shes tall and still growing, looking healthy except she has a lil Phosphorus deficiency at her top leaves but other than that they all are doing good. We are already on day 43 with this run!

Alright Then REMINDER I DO 2 UPDATES PER WEEK 👉WEEKLYROUNDUP👈👉MIDWEEKLY UPDATE👈 We just hit week 4 and all is well , have to admit she's showing pre-flower growth super happy with how shes coming along 😃 ....... I'm still training her with LST looking good 👌 And she's filling out the pot perfectly👌 Very little water given ,so far and rain water to be used entire growth Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉I WISH GD HAD DISCORD SERVER SO GROWMIES COULD HAVE A PLACE TO HELP AND TALK THINGS RELATED TO GROWING IN REAL TIME .....👈 👉SO I CREATED ONE ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

Come già ho accennato purtroppo non ho avuto tempo per stare dietro a tutto e chiedo scusa a tutti per la mia assenza sul forum 🙈 Sono sempre più convinto che questo sarà il mio lavoro perché è L unica cosa che riesce a darmi soddisfazioni e buon umore quando lo faccio,oltre che benefici perché ovviamente sono un fumatore e lo sarò per sempre 🐮🐒🐶🦑 Infatti sto valutando di poter andare in USA California per poter fare L università e poter lavorare in questo settore che sarebbe il mio sogno!!! Voglio poter aiutare le persone con questa pianta magica come lei ha aiutato me per tante cose… Purtroppo in Italia è repressa ma stiamo piano piano andando nella giusta direzione almeno per ambito terapeutico e farmaceutico ( bedrocan,bedica,bediol,bedrolite ecc…) Tornando a noi voglio ringraziare SS per L ottimo lavoro che fate e spero di poter presto fare un ordine con le vostre nuove genetiche e provare la linea Red e fast version!!!

Very nice, can’t wait for it to cure fully

Opening this week is a surprise as the height of the untopped is surprisingly stretches the topped one stays compact and bushy First signs of pistils shows more clearly here I defoliated some lower leaves in couple days of the late week and LST at the end of week’s day before lights off.

I absolutely love big bag growing. Check out my discord... https://discord.gg/wWM4rsCv

Light experimental LST throughout the week. Started getting signs of root rot on 7/3/2023. The res had started to smell like a pond, and the roots were browning heavily. Added 35mL of 3% H2O2 to the reservoir, followed by a double dose (~16mL) of Hydroguard

Smell has increased in a good way. 2 of the 4 plants main colas are turning purple, very cool. One plant has yellowing of the leaves even though I stuck to fox farms recommend fertilizing schedule. There is. 4” height difference between the 2 taller and shorter plants. This week I put some books under the shorter ladies to give an even canopy height.

Day 56 update, and man, the summer heatwave is officially pushing us to the limit! Inside the greenhouse, it’s getting incredibly hot, but the Gorilla Melon is handling it like an absolute champ. No real signs of heat stress yet, though you can tell she is working hard. Honestly, the AutoPot system is the real MVP this week; with these soaring temperatures, the constant water supply from below keeps her perfectly hydrated without any scary dry spells. To keep the canopy nice and even, I went ahead and did some more topping on the taller shoots to balance out the height before she gets any bigger. On the pest front, we had a little drama: the ChrysoCards unfortunately baked in the intense heat and didn't survive. Lesson learned! To fix this, I released a fresh batch of live green lacewing larvae instead. I just put them right onto the main branch junctions on the plant. It’s working beautifully—the thrips are visibly retreating, and I’ve barely seen any new damage on the big fan leaves this week. Slowly but surely, we are winning this battle!

Started the first top dressing of Gaia Green All Purpose and Power Bloom at a 50/50 ratio of 1tbsp/gal each.

# Tical x Zamnesia — Nectar Drip 🍯💧 | Harvest Report This one feels special. Not only because Nectar Drip is a collaboration between Tical and Zamnesia, and not only because this was a limited edition pack that we were lucky enough to get our hands on… but because this entire run had personality from the beginning until the very last cut. And now? Harvest time. Last week, we froze the smallest plant immediately after harvest for future washing and extraction work. We will talk much deeper about that process later on when the time comes, because there is already enough happening in this report alone. For now, she rests quietly in the freezer waiting for her next transformation. This week belongs to the other girls. The remaining plants are now officially harvested. And honestly… wow. Dense. Compact. Heavy. Greasy. Colorful. Beautifully faded. These flowers finished exactly the way we hoped they would. The trichomes are right where I personally love to harvest my medicine: - around 80% cloudy, - a small touch of amber, - a few still transitioning from clear into cloudy. For me, this is the sweet spot. This is where the plant feels the most “alive” in effect and expression. The majority of the trichome heads have matured fully, but the profile still keeps that brightness, complexity, and energy before moving too deeply into degradation. If harvested too early: - many trichomes are still immature, - cannabinoid development is incomplete, - effects can feel unfinished or sharp. If harvested too late: - more cannabinoids begin degrading, - THC slowly converts over time into compounds like CBN, - effects often become heavier, sleepier, and more sedative. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with harvesting later if that is what someone prefers, this specific window is personally where I feel the flower expresses itself best for my own medicinal and recreational preference. That is the beautiful part of growing: everyone eventually develops their own relationship with harvest timing. There is no single perfect answer. There is only observation, intention, and preference. And these girls were speaking very clearly. The fade across the leaves was incredible this week. Deep yellows, pale greens, dark fading edges, purples, reds hiding in places the camera barely captures properly. You can almost feel the plant redistributing everything it has left into the flowers before the end. Even the structure itself became fascinating near harvest. When we cut into the stems, the inside looked almost like a tiny tree trunk. Huge vascular channels running through the middle, thick supportive tissue, massive water transport systems that carried these flowers through their entire life cycle. You could feel it physically during harvest. This was not like cutting a soft plant anymore. It genuinely felt like cutting small trees. And honestly, the stem thickness explains a lot about the flowers themselves: dense structure, heavy tops, excellent water transport, strong support, healthy development. The genetics clearly had strength behind them. The flowers themselves are absolutely covered. At some points, the sugar leaves are literally curling and twisting under the sheer amount of trichome coverage. Any connoisseur looking at these buds up close immediately understands what they are looking at. Top shelf flower. No hype needed. The plant speaks for herself. The F.O.G. LED setup continues to impress more and more every run too. The flower quality under these lights has been genuinely outstanding. Resin production, density, coloration, structure, frost expression — everything feels elevated. It really does feel like we are watching part of the future of indoor cultivation unfold in real time. Of course, before harvest we had to bring these girls into the studio one final time. And honestly… they were amazing models. 😄 We shot: - dark dramatic portraits, - bright detailed flower shots, - macro closeups, - studio photographs, - behind-the-scenes moments, - live videos, - and a huge amount of focus-stacked macro photography. Some of the photographs became entire projects by themselves. For anyone curious about the “photo stacked” images: those are not single photographs. They are multiple photos merged together at different focus distances to create one final image with extreme detail and depth. Some stacks here used: - 103 photos, - 110 photos, - 171 photos, - 201 photos, - all the way up to 226 merged frames. The process takes patience: shooting, sorting, merging, aligning, correcting, editing, balancing colors, recovering detail, and then refining the final image carefully. But the result is worth it. You start seeing the flower almost like another world: individual trichome heads, resin textures, tiny color transitions, leaf structures, amber glands, frost patterns, details the naked eye simply cannot fully appreciate in real time. And the colors on this Nectar Drip are honestly stunning. Greens. Lime tones. Deep forest shades. Purples. Yellows. Reds. Silver frost. Orange pistils. Some shots leaned into darker cinematic moods, others pushed colorful vibrant expressions. We experimented a little and allowed the flowers to show different personalities depending on light, background, and mood. Now the plants are hanging peacefully. Because of their size and density, we could not hang everything as entire full plants. Instead, we divided them into grouped branches for drying. They now rest in controlled conditions for the next week or two while we monitor: - humidity, - drying speed, - aroma development, - branch flexibility, - and overall curing preparation. No rushing now. Harvest is not the finish line. Drying is part of the grow too. And honestly, sometimes it is one of the most important parts. We also included some video updates because certain things simply cannot be fully captured in photos alone: the way the flowers move, how the colors react in real light, the depth of the frost, the density, the atmosphere around the plant itself. The room felt calm this week. That strange calm after harvest where the work is technically done, but another important phase quietly begins. And next week? Next week will probably be the trimming and smoke review report. That is why we separated the reports into stages instead of forcing everything into one massive update. There are simply too many details, too many moments, too much material, and too much beauty in this run to rush through it carelessly. This harvest deserved time. And before ending this report, as always: Thank you. To Zamnesia. To Tical. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To LumifloraTo the gear. To the platform. To the community. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the new people stopping by out of curiosity. To the supporters. To the skeptics. To the silent viewers. To the haters too honestly 😄 To everyone who spent even a few seconds here with us. If someone stopped scrolling long enough to share this moment with us, then they deserve a little gratitude and a little love in return. This run was beautiful from beginning to end. And somehow… I still feel the story is not fully finished yet. 🌱 📡 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.
