8/10 Week 4 and doing well She is displaying how she will grow now, dont think any need for further topping. Nuets as is 8/12 Moved the light up to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot 8/13 Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B Lots of growth tips rising from the leaf tucking we always do 8/14 Defoliation day not a lot removed but enough to open the tops to light. Flipping in 3... 8/15 Recovered from all defoliation and growth tips aplenty in the light Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now Pic tonight Flipping in 2... 8/16 Continue defoliation, minor and selective to expose growth tips. Flipping in 1...

I pinched the tops off both plants..

Acapulco Gold has been forming some promising looking buds 👌 I have had to increase waterings this week as the plant is becoming increasingly thirsty. The branches are very heavy for the plant now, and they're beginning to buckle under the weight, so I might have to stake the plant. Because it's got so big now. I turn the plant round each day to evenly distribute light. It's become difficult due to the bendyness of the plant now, so I have to be very careful now whenever I move it. The plant has done really well this week, actually, and hopefully, we can be done in the next few weeks, which would be great. This has been the fastest and biggest plant I have grown yet. I'm very impressed. I have increased the waterings and am trying to give correct nutrients. However, I am also using Ecothrive dry amendments as always, and because of this, I don't know how many nutrients to add. The plant is so big now, I don't think I am feeding enough. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Leave it in the comments 😁 I am having trouble assessing the nutrient requirements as the plant has always been a light green, but it is really beginning to go yellow. Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25 I top dressed the plant with Ecothrive dry amendments. The following amounts were used for this 8 Gallon pot; 💚1 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle 💚1 TBSP Ecothrive Bloom 💚 2 TBSP Diatomaceous Earth Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered the top dress in, with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 2 TSP Sea K 💜 2 TSP Biosys 💜 8ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 597 13.9.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.9 with; 💜 .5 TSP Bud Explosion PH: 5.9 PPM: 678 15.9.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 with; 💜 1 TSP Bud Explosion 💜 1 TSP Sea K 💜 8ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.1 PPM: 685 16.9.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 With; 💜 7ml Trace 💜 2 TSP Sea K PH: 6.4 PPM: 552 The fungus gnats have really increased since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thanks very much for checking out my diary this week and for hanging out in the comments. Advice or encouragement is appreciated. It's been a fun week! 😁💚🤞🌱👌🧡

Hello and welcome to Pete's run#6! Summer is long gone. For a grower like me, that means I can start relaxing just a tiny bit. No longer will extreme heat and humidity challenge a man's orientation in space-time, when inline fans become heating devices, or when an unnoticed 4L spill of dehumidifier water magically implements a VPD protocol that existed only in my mind. You heard me right. run#5 is proof that accidents don't have it in for you. They are not even ACKNOWLEDGING you, as they sometimes carry out your deeds. With these high scientific standards established for run#6, I present to you the inhabitants, the only 3 specimens presently exploring our universe while being enveloped by Pete's protocols & tent. Wish them well, they did not get a say in this: FastBuds | F4 | Pineapple OG Auto FastBuds | F1 | Mango Frost Auto FastBuds | F6 | Gorilla Cookies Auto --- For my first runs, I chose FastBuds and stuck with them. Whatever happened during run#1, I got an extremely satisfying and undeserved result of 2 different Gorilla Cookies in fairly great quality, + a pink Strawberry Gorilla, whos terpenes sadly evaporated during late flowering. This experience was a hallmark moment for me. For the first time I could compare low quality cannabis (that always made me tired) with a quirky but vibrant home grow result, realized under intense financial pressure. The product's characteristics in comparison were so striking that I could not stop learning about what made that happen. This was not just a great "cannabis experience". It was here where it really dawned on me that cannabis was not a uniform substance at all. It could be modulated, components could be understood, made and preserved to achieve specific, wildly different properties. The pharmaceutical complex described it completely wrong, but provided products sometimes with pure THC even. Doctors were trying to combat a substance whose properties were derived from the worst documented use cases - practically inventing their own fictional profile and then recommending against it. The question to be answered was not simply: Should I use cannabis or not? The question now became: What can I make cannabis do, and who are the people that really know best? --- Naturally, I was extremely hesitant to try another breeder. So when I did - with Mephisto and later Dutch Passion, where footage of big, thriving plants was a bit harder to find - I grew completely convinced that quality is abundant within the reputable breeder scene. As a matter of fact, Mephisto strains ended up growing larger in comparison even during run#3, when I learned what really happens to roots with extreme gypsum formation in my medium. Dutch Passion's Auto Cinderella Jack ranked #1 in yield for me in run#5 with her first try, after Mephisto's 505 Headbanger and FastBuds Sour Jealousy both tied for #1 after run#4. run#6 is a great test case for my ongoing protocols and my planned adjustment during the cycle, like giving my nutrient composition the next iteration & polish after discovering some really shaky N & K curves. Cookies gets her fourth go in my tent, so she reads familiar to me and also serves as a control. --- Oh yeah, the PLANTS! Pineapple OG and Mango Frost click into my sativa preference with a hybrid twist, while Gorilla Cookies is pretty much coming back home. Mango skipped the queue when I forgot she was an F1, so fingers crossed her standout heritage that qualified her for me expresses well. Pineapple reads as a promising daytime profile with a chase terp expression I just have to witness. Preservation of metabolites during flowering and beyond is my #1 goal, besides obviously growing big and healthy cultivars that have the biological backbone for complete metabolite expression. Watch me make mistakes, watch the plants forgive me, enjoy the chaos that stirs up when I am pitted against the laws of nature. - Pete

Both seedlings in peat tablets were put in an own fabric pot (15l each) on 20 Sept 2023. The soil was mixed with Top Crop Micro Vita powder (5g to15l) and put in each pot onto the layer of expanded clay balls. One leave of one of two plants was damaged, thanks to my dog. The grow-tent is IKEA tent, it is open. The temperature is a bit high, so I'm going to add a fan to make it cooler. Also reflecting coverage inside is planned.

Last week went well. Not much happening besides watching her fattening up daily. Had to up cal-mag another.5 mL per gallon because I noticed the start of some minor spots on a couple of the top leaves. She is drinking a decent amount. About a gallon and a half of water every other day. The buds are getting big and I am going to get a decent yield. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Whoa!!! She took off like a rocket from the end of the first week to the end of the second week of veg! She likes the rain and crazy weather!!! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

this week has had its ups and downs and if it wasn't for my little apprentice it would have all gone too shit.... she was able to keep everything in the tent stable while i was away!!

Ende der zweiten Woche ( 14 Tage nach einpflanzen )

I stoped feeding as we are olmost at closing weeks

The ladies are starting to stretch and flower. We also did a defoliation and lollipop session at the end of week 2 flower. Canopy and bud sites look good and are a plenty. Looking forward to next couple of weeks.

✂️🍯 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.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 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 A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Day 18 - FIM cut made. Day 20 - Transplant to 38L airpot. I planted her deep to aid stability.

Week 7 of flower in the books and the Kush is in the home stretch. Pistils are all turning orange and buds are getting thick and resinous. She's got a nice citrusy smell and the colas are all swaying in the breeze. Shout out to Seedsman for these stable genetics. No deficiencies or issues that I had to fix along the way. Really happy I still have a couple more seeds left over.

What a fun run this was ! These Ogreberrys finished up from 81 days to 102 days with nice hints of gassy , sour purple , sweetness and glistening with frost! These ladies will cure up for a month an will be ready to test out ! So much fun , I highly recommend this strain if your looking for some oooy gooohy resiny grape smelling nugs !

Hunt for Phenotypes

What another great week it’s been , today is Day 39 from seed an the lil ladies have jumped into preflower 😍! Yesterday gave em the trim up of the unders , kinda popsicled you can say to each one, cause we want to focus on them colas ! This week we should see some more great progress, let them caps start stacking ! Can’t wait to see what we do next week ! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day!
