Finally moved into their forever home and final pots all seems generally good,it's abit tricky with multiple strains as they all react differently so trying to balance and learn what each strain likes is abit harder,net is in place and already using it to spread the canopy out for more top nodes and coverage

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2203 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #1 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying' and remains the 'Frost Queen' in the run she is a VERY happy girl! The #2 pheno, while different from her sister, is looking gorgeous and starting to really ramp up her trichome production! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. OMG they're both looking fantastic with both looking amazing with a generous coating of trichomes covering their flowers, especially on the #1 phenotype and both have developed a funky sweet, creamy aroma! I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should start to look epic! 😍💚 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Much love 💚 and Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Mandarin Panties feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 70% de potencia. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco este 100% con el proyecto. Con suerte la semana que viene andaré mejor. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

una delicia

Wow, this has been a wild week here! She is looking so good. She has perfect form, many tops. And is definitely winning against my FastBuds Mystery seed #1. Hands down my favourite plant, maybe... ever! It's absolutely perfect. Look at her! 😍 A true dream come true... Now watch me mess this up! 😅 Anyway so I fimmed, and ended up with 7 tops. Very happy with that. Training started, to begin to open up all of those tops. I used the LST clips to bend over the stems away from the plants centre. I did this with every branch. I water with 2 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which I will add .5g Ecothrive Biosys to. I water about every 3-4 days, when the pots have dried sufficiently. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 🍃✌️💚🙂

✂️🍯 Tical x Zamnesia — Nectar Drip | Drying & Trimming Report 🍯✂️ And… we are back again 😄 Yes — we are dividing the reports once more. At this point it is probably becoming part of the diary itself, but honestly, there is simply too much happening during these runs to compress everything into one giant update without losing important moments along the way. So thank you for the patience. And welcome back to the next chapter of our Nectar Drip journey: the drying, the trimming, the resin collecting, the temple balls, and the beginning of the cure. 🌱 Quick Recap For anyone arriving only now: This run was grown from seed under 12/12 lighting from the beginning. No long vegetative phase. No giant training sessions. No massive shaping. Just letting the genetics express themselves naturally while observing: - structure, - morphology, - resin production, - flower behavior, - and overall cultivar personality. Last week reflected the harvest itself: - trichome maturity, - fading colors, - hanging branches, - macro photography, - stem structure, - and final harvest observations. One of the smaller plants was frozen immediately after harvest for future washing and extraction work, which we will still cover in a dedicated future update once we complete the washing process properly. But this week? This week belongs to the dry flowers. And honestly… these girls became something beautiful. Drying Process The flowers dried for roughly 10 days under controlled conditions: - approximately 18–20°C - around 60% RH - with the first couple of days closer to 45% RH to help release initial surface moisture safely This part matters far more than many people realize. Drying is not simply: “waiting until the plant becomes dry.” It is controlled moisture migration. The outside of the flower always dries first. The inside stays wetter longer. And the goal is slowing that process down enough for: - chlorophyll breakdown, - smoother smoke, - terpene preservation, - proper moisture redistribution, - and stable curing afterward. Dry too fast? The outside crisps while the inside traps moisture. Dry too slowly? Risk increases: - mold, - anaerobic conditions, - terpene degradation, - unstable cure. These Nectar Drip girls dried beautifully. Dense flowers. Excellent structure. No rushed drying. No hay smell. No collapse. Just slow clean progression. And when the branches finally gave that satisfying “click” instead of bending… we knew it was time 😄 ✂️ Trimming Time So: gloves on, trim bin ready, studio lights running, music playing quietly in the background, Mr. Baggy supervising operations as always 😄 …and branch by branch, the process began. We trimmed entirely by hand using Zamnesia curved-point scissors. And honestly, these scissors became one of our favorite trimming tools. The pointed curved tip allows: - deeper precision, - cleaner access between calyxes, - easier sugar leaf removal, - less accidental flower damage, - and better control overall on dense compact flowers. Especially important on cultivars like this one. Because Nectar Drip became DENSE. Not airy. Not fluffy. Proper compact greasy flowers. The kind that fight back while trimming 😄 Every branch had to be broken down carefully: - separating buds individually, - removing excess leaf material, - preserving flower shape, - protecting trichome coverage, - and trying not to spend half the trimming session glued to the scissors. And yes… the resin production here was honestly ridiculous. 🖤 Resin Everywhere This cultivar is oily. Not just frosty visually. Oily physically. The gloves became coated quickly. The scissors accumulated thick dark resin constantly. The trim bin slowly filled with golden material underneath. And every few minutes we found ourselves scraping resin from: - gloves, - scissors, - fingers, - and tools. That sticky dark material eventually became beautiful little temple balls. And honestly? The way this resin behaved says a lot about the quality of the cultivar. Some resin stays dry and crumbly. This one softened almost instantly with minimal heat. Just body temperature alone was enough to: - soften, - bind, - darken, - and become workable. Extremely greasy resin. Extremely rich trichome expression. The little temple balls became: dark, soft, sticky, shiny, and incredibly aromatic. Beautiful medicine already before even curing properly. 🏆 Final Dry Numbers And now the final flower numbers for the dried plants: 🌱 337.3 grams dry flower Plus: the frozen material resting in the freezer for future washing and extraction work. And honestly? Very happy with these numbers. Especially considering: - the quality, - density, - resin production, - flower structure, - and the overall level of expression these girls delivered. This was not “big yield but average flower.” This was genuinely high-quality medicine. 📦 Storage & Beginning The Cure After trimming: the flowers were placed into glass jars for curing. The temple balls also rest curing slowly inside glass. And now another important phase begins: time. Because curing changes everything. Terpenes settle. Moisture equalizes. Harshness fades. Aromas deepen. Smoke smooths out. The cultivar slowly reveals its final personality. And honestly? This Nectar Drip already smells incredible. Sweet. Creamy. Fruity. Almonds.Dark. Warm. Slightly candy-like. With this deep resinous backend that keeps evolving every day. The room smelled unbelievable during trimming. At some moments it genuinely felt like opening: fruit candy, fuel, cream, and warm resin all at once. Very unique profile. Very memorable. 📸 Documentation & Studio Sessions Of course, we documented almost everything: - trimming time-lapses, - resin collection, - temple ball formation, - close-up flower shots, - drying branches, - sticky gloves, - macro details, - cinematic studio moments, - and behind-the-scenes chaos 😄 Because honestly… these moments matter too. A grow diary becomes more than just showing finished buds after enough weeks. It becomes documentation: - of process, - mistakes, - lessons, - atmosphere, - obsession, - patience, - and passion. And this run definitely carried all of that. ⏳ What Comes Next? Next update will probably become the final chapter: - curing review, - smoke report, - terpene evolution, - effect profile, - overall strain impressions, - and our honest final thoughts about this Tical x Zamnesia collaboration after living with the medicine properly. And honestly… we are extremely excited for that one. Because this cultivar already feels very special. 🙏 Final Thanks And as always… thank you. To Zamnesia. To Tical. To Plagron. To F.O.G. To Lumiflora. To the gear. To the platform. To the supporters. To the silent followers. To the OGs still here since day one. To the curious new visitors. To the people learning quietly in the background. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the haters too 😄 And to everybody who stopped scrolling long enough to spend even a few moments here with us. That alone deserves gratitude. This collaboration genuinely feels special. And honestly… I still feel like Nectar Drip has one more beautiful chapter left before this journey fully ends. 📡 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.

ICECREAM GAS & BO terps

Day 35 Sprayed With .1 Bras Finally LSTd the 4 main stalks of each plant. They have rebounded from the toppings on day 34. This week is to prepare the plants for flower Aiming for a .95VPD Began brewing Tricantonol, liquid Karma, Calmag and Southern Ag Microbes for a Tea later this week The video shows the training structure. Day 37 Gave the tric brew to the plants. Plants responded well. Also did a final Lollipopping before flower Day 39 Watered with no Macro Nutes. Taking one quart of water every 2 days

New microscope came in, just in time to start checking trichs on CP. I never realized how hard it is to keep a steady hand for a proper shot, so hopefully I’ll have better focused shots soon... Appears they’re mostly clear, I like that couchlock high so I’m going for mostly amber but maybe partial harvest? I don’t know. Comments, suggestions, opinions, all are welcome here. For now I can wait.

Der Grow ist erfolgreich abgeschlossen und hat echt spaß gemacht!🔥 Einfach anzubauen und wunderschön!

Нет слов звер😁🙈

I have been starving my flowering plants this week to provoke that trichome production. I Will clean out the veg room and germinate seeds for next grow. Half strenght nutes this week as well

Ok, so this week I have put a microscope to the girls and the tops are showing a hell of a lot of amber so I have taken the tops off of them all to dry. Underneath is still more undeveloped so will leave the rest a while longer. No nutes the past week and not gonna add any more.

this should be the last week of vegetation. Flowering should be starting soon. Seems like no end to this drought we are suffering from in Southern Ontario.

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

PURPLE KUSH / KANNABIA SEEDS WEEK #20 OVERALL WEEK #10 FLOWER As this lady journey is coming to a end she's had quite the trip from being training at a early age with LST, and HST she responded well and produced many bud sites with buds that are what you expect from KUSH characteristics smaller tight dense buds covered in trichomes with a great aroma to them. You can see the fade in her leaves as she given all she can to produce quality buds!!!! Stay Growing!!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!!! THANK YOU KANNABIA!!! 😊 🙏 👊 KANNABIA.COM PURPLE KUSH 💜
