Week 6 went well the girls are doing nicely, getting harder to take pics now. pH is decreasing in the root zone below 5.5 I’ve been feeding at 6.0 to raise it, but doesn’t seem to be helping. pH pen is calibrated so I’m going to flush Tomorrow to bring it to 5.7 crowding is becoming an issue, I’m using yo-yos to help support and pull away from each other. I’ve been removing the odd leaf to uncover flowers. All in all I am looking forward to harvest in a few weeks.

🌿 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.

Buenas! Todos los sabados comienza otra semana, normalmente subo los martes. Pero me estoy haciendo un tiempito hoy para contarles como vienen los 4 clones de toronjaz-Blacktuna. Esta semana ya se nota el engorde de la flor, ya los calices comienzan a tomar volumen. En cuanto a la resina, se ha formado bastante, en casi todas hasta hojas satelite. Mejoramos el color de las hojas, ya que veniamos alimentando muy de a poco y en estas semanas ya podemos apretarlas un poco. Seguimos igualmente de a poco, controlando de no exceder, siempre prefiero que falte a que se exceda. En estas fechas comienza a elevar la temperatura, por lo que sin aire acondicionado en la pieza se puede llegar a complicar. Seguimos, cultivando y aprendiendo. Saludos, que tengan buenos humos 😮‍💨

day22 video. now adding more pk booster than earlier weeks, should be done week 7-8 we will see day23 I start adding more pk, still will 4x more pk now. Some nice pics today, videos of each, frost on fan leafs, no issues other than pros: bridal frost on fan leafs+sugar, cons 6ft tall. I think I should have pumped more pk earlier into flower/pre Its cool. Adding 2tbsp soluble pk into 5gal vs quarter tbsp in beginning 22 days ago. I am feeding soluble pk, +3 pk soil conditioners and carbs every day. There is no water day. day 25 stacking up. been spraying old cs I made 3ish years ago to test, works on unrooted so I may potential cross. Bridal starting to smell like a mix between fresh watermelon, and lemon+lime or a citrus aroma.

Start of week 4 and the washing machine looking great, got the scrogg net laid down and will be just tucking branches back under the net. After digging out the Jaffa plants which were not growing at all we realised that they came in soil not coco, after cleaning off the soil and treating with super thrive and great white, giving them a new mix of Coco and some food at 1.0ec they begin to show signs of life 🙌 Hopefully they catch-up with the washing machine. Not seeing any major signs of deficiency or toxicity atm

Giorno 80 La Sweet Cheese è stata tagliata. Purtroppo già dalla seconda settimana avevo pensato di rimuoverla per lasciare spazio alle Crystal Candy che erano belle grosse ma alla fine dato il suo odore di formaggio/frutta ho deciso di tenerla. Le Crystal Candy anche loro sono a sola acqua da 10gg e entro 4/5gg verranno tagliate.Loro hanno sempre il solito odore di caramelle fragola/melone. A presto con qualche foto dei fiori 😊👍

Ripper seeds knocked it out of the fucking park with this one. I have no idea what she will yield, but I can tell you this entire plant is just stacked colas from top to bottom. With that being said, I do believe I low stressed trained her far too long and hurt her yield significantly. I did LST from day 30 until day 38, so I believe I lost out on far too much vertical growth during the stretch. I am going to adjust on my next grow and only LST the top 4 mains for about 2-3 days just to allow the bottom 4 mains to catch up. This Acid Dough absolutely reaks, and smells stronger than anything I have grown so far. The trichomes are almost ready, and she is only drinking plain water from my dehumidifier at this point. I am planning on harvesting her on Sunday, and I am working on a little 4th of July harvest video. This will also be my last (flowering) run with the Mars Hydro TS 1000 as I just received a couple new lights from Mars Hydro and ViparSpectra. The Mars Hydro TS1000 was a fucking champ, and I will still use her for vegging my autos. I will be running one auto under the Mars Hydro FC3000, and another auto under the ViparSpectra XS2000 from here on out. I am also running a timelapse of my Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds, and since I am only running 2 autos now, I actually have room for it! Unlike the Wedding Cheesecake, I am totally looking forward to trimming this Acid Dough Auto, and I believe it will take less than half the time. This is absolutely one I will be growing again! Thanks for stopping by all, be safe and Blaze On!!!

Seeds were directly off the mother plant, soaked in water for 24 hours. They were pretty slow to popping and required me to use my fingertips to pop them gently. After that it was 100% successful.

Aquí unos vídeos de la segunda semana de floración. Ya tiene los led definitivos y la malla más abierta, hace rato que pasaron a la 8 ball kush. Los riegos eran de medio litro cada dos o tres días todos ellos con fertilizantes. Se me olvidaba comentar que la red mandarin es de flor roja y de las tres solo una salió con ese tono que me está gustando bastante y otra cosa que no comenté es que la 8 ball tiene dos semanas más de crecimiento que las otras pero se le hizo lst y podas apicales a varios brazos.. las red mandarin solo fue una poda apical a cada una antes de la mallla.
