The grow was a lil unique was able to give it very low strength neits the whole veg. Stayed overall short during vegetation, but boomed once it went into flower. Turning out to be a tall pheno. Flower cycle was a total of 67 days, including a flush of 14 days and lights off for 2 days. Finished product was very long fluffy nugs stretching down the plant. Does not do well in heat at all, ideal temperature is between 60°-70°. Towards the end of flower cycle best to get humidity and temperature as low as possible to bring out the purple hues and bulked nugs. A perfect strain for cold climents or LED lights. Recommended for the connoisseur seeking a sweet change 👏💯

It's really hard for a first time grower to grow without the input of others, particularly if you aren't a science type person. Grow diaries and the users who've commented have really helped me make decisions about how to handle the girls. What I've learnt is there's never a right or wrong way of doing something and a lot of your success is based on intuition! This my very first grow. I can't normally keep herbs alive and I had my fair share of disasters with this plant, from stem breakages (fixed with a tape and a ruler) and calculating nutes incorrectly. I LSTd and topped (accidentally initially) and left 2 alone. The ones left alone had the biggest yeild. I harvested at different stages, but within days. The trics were probably at 1% amber, 80% cloudy and the rest clear. A test smoke of a dry bud in a pipe which had been cured for a few days gave me a fun, giggly high that lasted a long time with rolling body effects that left me feeling reallllly good. I made butter out of the fresh wet trim of one plant (2oz of trim) and made 113g of knock out butter. Just a teaspoon had my flying for 24 hours. I was growing these 4 ladies, along with 4 non-auto skunk 1# which have been in veg mode for the whole time. They are beasts right now and I will start a diary for them to document the progress.

The stretch is over, time to bulk up. The terps are getting stronger now. Piney, woody, and spicy. Hoping for some mint terps soon. She is really getting frosty . Everything grows back fast after I defoliate her. Week 5 of flower. I love that I can see some blue 💙 in her leaves now. I noticed some blue 💙 coming through in week 4 of flower.

🌙 Harvest Report – “The Dark Queen’s Final Bow” Week 13 from seed | Week 9 Flower | 12/12 from seed And just like that… the journey of our White Widow from Zamnesia reaches its crown. A legend reborn, a dark queen grown straight from seed to bloom — no pauses, no compromises, just pure rhythm and instinct. 🌱 From Seed to Harvest – A Quick Recap For those just joining us, this girl began her story under a 12/12 light cycle from seed, or more precisely, 11/13 for our personal shuttle. Instead of growing through a long vegetative phase, she learned to optimize herself from day one — adapting, building strength, and focusing entirely on her single mission: to bloom. This is the essence of the 12/12-from-seed method — the plant is “born” in flowering conditions, believing the season is ending. Nature responds by compressing growth and flowering into one continuous process. It’s a fascinating experiment in plant adaptation — a balance of speed, structure, and survival. And she did it like a champion. Compact. Dense. Frosted beyond belief. She carried herself with grace — a short, shy plant maybe, but full of power, soul, and personality. 🌿 Her Final Numbers & Harvest Process At the end of her journey, she blessed us with 68 grams of dry flowers — and not a gram wasted. Every bud dense, sticky, and shining with resin. The harvest was done whole-plant, to maintain moisture uniformity and slow the dry — two full weeks at 60°F / 60% RH (the classic 60/60 method). When the stems finally made that satisfying click, it was time for the hand trim — using the Trim Bin, of course. From the trim, we collected kief using the traditional Moroccan drum technique, resulting in a beautiful golden gift. Finger hash was dense and fragrant — a sign of her rich trichome layer. After trimming, she was carefully stored in Grove Bags 2.0 — designed to balance internal humidity for a perfect cure. 🕯️ Curing & Smoke Experience After two months of curing, this girl transformed into a true vintage classic. Even after all that time, the buds stayed dense, sticky, and aromatic. The dark green and purple tones deepened, covered in a white, frosty coat. The aroma is nostalgic — earthy spice and pine with that unmistakable 90s energy. On the smoke: pure, clean, and smooth. No chlorophyll harshness, no grassy tones — just a balanced, velvety inhale that brings you straight back to the days of Amsterdam’s golden era. She’s powerful yet relaxing, joyful yet introspective — an old-school soul wrapped in modern perfection. Some of her most special buds are sealed and resting in small Grove Bags, stored cool for special moments. A treasure chest of memories and medicine. 💧 Nutrition Recap Throughout her life, she thrived under a carefully balanced recipe: Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, All-In-One Liquid Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation This combination created harmony between mineral support and organic stimulation, helping her push both flavor and resin production — especially critical under a 12/12 from seed cycle. 💡 Gear & Environment She grew beneath the Future of Grow Black Series 600W LED and the ThinkGrow LED bars, all managed through the Trolmaster ecosystem. The lighting schedule featured Emerson-effect reds — activated 15 minutes before and after the main lights — simulating sunrise and sunset for increased photosynthetic efficiency and resin production. Photos were captured using the loyal Sony a6000, swapping between macro and standard lenses to showcase her dark beauty, frosty density, and every glimmering detail. 🌸 Final Reflection This grow was a test, yes — but it became a lesson in evolution. A seed born into 12/12 doesn’t complain or wait; she adapts. She listens to nature’s rhythm, grows fast, focuses hard, and gives everything she has. The yield was modest, but the quality — beyond words. And the message clear: sometimes less time means more intent, more purity, more heart. 🌍 Gratitude & Good Vibes To Zamnesia, for carrying the legend and keeping the 90s alive. To Aptus and Plagron, for fueling life with balance and flavor. To Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Trolmaster, for lighting the path. And to the GrowDiaries community, to the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new followers — thank you all for being part of this. You can see her full journey in motion — from seed to Dark Queen — in glorious 4K on YouTube. Because some stories deserve to be seen as much as they’re told. 💬 Closing Thought “Every seed carries a story — but only the light reveals its language.” Until the next run, my dear friends — the next genetics, the next rhythm, the next evolution. 🌿💚 🧠 P.S. – The Importance of Drying & Curing Drying and curing are often underestimated — yet they are as vital as the entire growth process. You can grow the most beautiful plant in the world, but if she’s rushed at this stage, all the aroma, flavor, and smoothness can vanish in days. 🌬️ Drying The goal of drying is not just to remove moisture — it’s to allow the plant’s internal chemistry to finish its work. When you dry slow and steady at 60°F / 60% RH, you give enzymes and bacteria time to break down leftover chlorophyll and sugars that cause harshness. This is why the “60/60 rule” is so cherished: it keeps terpenes alive and smooths out the smoke. You’ll know she’s ready when stems make that soft, crisp snap instead of bending. 🍯 Curing Curing begins where drying ends — in sealed containers or Grove Bags, ideally stored around 60% humidity. During these weeks (or months, if you have patience), moisture equalizes throughout the buds, creating a perfectly even texture. Inside, slow oxidation and continued enzymatic activity refine the flavor profile — turning raw plant aroma into deep, complex notes. The reward? A smoother inhale, richer aroma, cleaner burn, and overall more mature experience. It’s not just drying; it’s aging your craft — much like wine or cheese. 💚 Patience transforms product into passion. Two weeks of drying and at least a month (or two!) of curing will elevate any harvest from good to unforgettable. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

Runoff ph is a bit high this time. Don’t know why. Around 6.8. Average ph going in is 6.0. Also the big fan leaves on ice cream cakes are kind of strange shaped. Will see how they are going to look later.

Nothing much going on here. No LST. Didn’t really takeoff many new leaves. I didn’t check up on the plants for a whole 24 hours. I didn’t notice when I last watered that I had missed a plant as you see in the first video. It went back up in about 6 hours like nothing ever happened to her. When growing many plants it’s very easy to forget to water one or two. That’s why it’s important to water all single file from row to row , starting from the top plant to the bottom plant, all the way though the last sections. Learned the hard way lol
