Just another week of 24/0 veg in their new 4in pots. They've hit the stride past clone stage I'd say and are shooting up. They are ready for a leaf stripping and training about now. They're about out of room in the clone spot. They can hit the lights in there though cause they are just 10w shop lights and don't seem to do anything bad, even being right on the bulbs. So 3 rows of strains going vertical in the pics, like Bruce is the three pots on the left, Orange Blossom Middle, and Krishna on the right. Then horizontally three feed lines, so one of each strain is getting each mix. 3 part AN in the front row. Lucas method 1:2 GH micro:bloom in the middle row. Then GH maxibloom only in the back row. Not sure I am seeing any difference yet but they did just get a transplant and are probably doing fine with the leftovers in the coco for now. We'll start to see more of a dif soon in the bigger lights in the Veg space. Or we won't see a difference and everybody is getting maxibloom only, all the time!

Dark Phoenix Grow is going good, could have done a better job but you learn from your mistakes. Uploaded a video for you guys with all the information, any questions just ask away guys 👍🏾🌱💚

The girls have been very busy making golf balls this week! The cookies are also starting to frost up 🤗 At the beginning of the week there was not much to do, the girls had stopped stretching and were settled in. In my 2x4 tent, all I had to do was tuck fold the leaves to open up the bud sites. I basically did the same for my big tent. Simply moved some leaves from blocking sites, and plucked just a few that were rather large. They are still needing to be watered every 72 hours or so. I have been keeping to a feed, water, feed schedule now that we are into flower. I just started to notice that some of the tops are showing some nutrient burn, just a little, and not every plant. This tells me I have hit their limit with the nutrients, somewhere between 700 and 750 ppm. The last watering I did, I watered to about 10% runoff, trying to make sure that there are no salt or mineral buildup that can cause lockout or other issues. At the end of the week, day 21, I defoliated both tents, not too much, but enough to open up the bottom growth a bit. Also tidied up the lower portion below the trellis, as this just wastes energy and yield from the main colas in the long run. No real issues or problems so far, Happy Gardening Folks! 🇨🇦👊❤️😎💨

Week 2, both the blue gelato 41 are going strong, good strong growth, no sign of any kind of deficiency, Nice short spacing between nodes, hopefully be able to top them before the end of week 2, or early week 3

I needed a bigger reservoir, runoff catchment, and dehumidifier drain bucket because I had to go out of town for 5 days. Fortunately I calculated the volumes accurately and so when I got home I had at least another 24 hours of solution in the rez, and space in the runoff and dehumidifier catchment buckets. The other fortunate thing is that I came home to very happy and vigorously growing plants. The tallest colas are now 30 inches above the coco, and 20 inches from the light. There is one cola (pictured) whose stem is as thick as a sharpie! I ran out of the AN base nutrients and decided to switch over to GHE because the PH perfect buffers in the Advanced Nutrients line have been a huge pain in the ass. Also, I decided to mix my own bloom booster from Potassium Sulphate (0-0-53), Monopotassium Phosphate (0-52-34), and Epsom Salt after finding a DIY recipe (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/diy-hammerhead-confusions.47992/) to achieve a (0-9-18) NPK ratio. Significantly cheaper, but will be interesting to see what the results are in the end. I will be doing one more heavy defoliation on day 21 of flower because there are so many fan leaves laying on top of each other that its hard to keep the humidity down. Stay tuned!

Week 11 and the ladies are doing alright. I overfed the LSD auto so I only water her for now and wait how she reacts. Both Runtz Muffin phenos are really frosty already and the smell is amazing💆‍♂️ Some branches also needed a bit of support so i tied them to the main stem

6.12. Day 77 of life 39 of flower of max 56. My plan with Christmas weed is in danger. Oh boy. I hate Ripen. New Light turn. 20/4. And lifted up to 40 cm. 7.12...... 8.12. FUCK ME. FUCK ME TWICE. HOTTEST GIRL IN MY TENT.... Forgivenes for that words. 10.12. Main¹ and Main ² chopped. Yes i know 1 Main 1xMain Main. All the same, but i Like Main¹... 😛 Time to dry her out. 12.12. Day 45 of flower! Ready. Uff thats fast. In 7 days is chop. The buds re dense. Not stonehard, but dense. 13.12. The earth is moist.

9/3 Day 50 of the grow I cannot complain at all,reduced the nuet list to what they are getting from here out 9/5 Everybody always takes pics of their plants at their best thought it might help to see otherwise, well here they are at their worst. Dried out intentionally as part of last stage of flower, like to get them conditioned for drying. Five minutes later all happy again after the water. Fed Bio-Grow/Bio-Bloom/Karo syrup as a boost to bio 9/7 Re-adding Big Bloom (Fox Farms) to nuet mix, plants seem to be missing it and I agree. Once a week at 3 tps/gal 9/8 Fed each .75 gal full nuets Moved Becky and Ceila towards edges to lower light to them. Seem very sensitive to it but the other two are just soaking it up so moving them into the center. Pics later at lights out. Greatly preferring the dark leaf pheno (Anna and Deb) over the light leaf (Becky and Ceila), Have two of each and the first grow was also dark leaf. Plants are more compact, drink a little less, easier to maintain, and I think will end up producing at least as much as the larger sativa leaning plants. Some defoliation on all Changing nuet list add Fox Farm Happy Frog Cavern Culture 1-12-0 for the P think thats the nuet hole, three tablespoons top dressed one time application... for now. See how it goes

Last Week of her life, now shes getting in the darkroom for 2-3 days. I flushed her the 3 days with water, and didnt give her any water for 2 days after flushing. I had to cut the Main-Bud due to mold :( Total flower time ~12-13 Weeks. Total Life Time: Since April 24th 2024. After the darkroom shes is going to be hung for 1 or 1/2 weeks depends. Get ready for the harvest, I've already had to taste it and I have to say it tastes like gelato and smells like gelato. But more on that soon.

Getting too tall buds coming nicely now. No real problems but running out of room

This grow looks a lot larger then what it is, gorilla zkittlez came out light and fluffy but still a solid 9.1 oz yeild in a 4x4 tent sharing the space with girlscout cookies She grew a little rough at the start during veg but once she got back to health she really took off Heavy feeder she would always drink more and be lighter green then the girlscout cookies Had a reveg mishapp around week 3 and 4 in flower which caused her to stretch a lot, none the less she still stacked up on some colas Due to heat and too much light the buds turned out really fluffy compared to girlacout cookies Buds are nice and frosty with lots of orange hairs tho Smelling like lemon peels and gummy Candy with a hint of that earthy smell Harvested on day 77 she was at the end of week 10, hunger her up in the basement where temps were about 70-73 and humidity around 55% stable for 5 days Trimmed off all the fan leaves and some sugar leaves to aid in the drying process Was low on stash and wanted to harvest instead of buying more Finally have enough to keep me stocked up will next harvest! Just from one plant Still have the girlscout cookies to weigh up aswell and she had better buds None the less easy grow specially for the last 3-4 weeks as I ran out of nutrients I just gave them the odd watering ph to 6.0 but she got waterings as low as 5.5 and High as 7.1 and didn't effect the growth Although I could of gotten a larger yeild or denser buds with nutrients up untill the last week She didn't die nor slow down during the last few weeks and doubled in bud size pressing out nicely im sure ill be doing a lot of it with this bud

Now That Everything Is On Track! I Understand Why DWC Growers Love DWC! That Being Said....Who Knew My Aquaponic Living Soil System Does Naturally What Pll PAY To Do In Organic DWC Setups! The Risk Of Not Running Everything Sterile Right? Well The Living ORGANISMS In My Set Up Release Tons Of Beneficial Bacteria Non Stop..Naturally. I've Since Been Using LAB In My DWC And Whatta Ya Kno! BOOM! No Breaks! Everything Going Well So Far! My Fish And SNAILS Are Probably Breeding By Now 😆 Still Haven't Performed A Water Change... A Lot Of Algae....I'll Put More SNAILS And Clean Soon! Will Update System With The Light Bleeding Into The Res, In Mind! Camo 🤔 💭 And I Also Put Some Terra Power In Just To See What It Would Do!?

Day 44 - The smell is divine, and the buds are looking very pretty. Beautiful fade going on in the leaves, almost like a purple/red/black. Planning to tapper down the nutrients as we are coming closer to Harvest. Crucial to keep the pH in range during flowering and being away a few days, I wasn't able to correct it until I was back. So they were drinking more water than uptaking nutrients.. leaving a high EC in the system. Corrected the issue by adding plain RO water, treated with cleanse, no nutrients. They are now on track and could do with a last defoliation, but I've been holding it off. Will get around to it over the next few days. The buds are sticky, smell great and rock hard. Dehumidifier was added to the tent to try lower the humidity to a better range. Can't wait to see the end results and product. Another 2 weeks an I think we will be good.

7/15/25 I'm super impressed with this plant. I kinda wanna try so sts spray to create some fem seeds from her. She was labeled as sativa dominant but the bud structure is very indica style. Just chonky golf balls everywhere Fed her for the last time before chop. 3tsp of bloom booster from roots organics and 2 tsp of microbe charge and 2 tsp of uprising foundation

🌸 WEEK 5 FLOWER – “Aiming for the Moon” Hello, beautiful people! It’s been a busy stretch, but I’m finally back with another exciting update from our Permanent Marker girls — and wow, what a sight they are right now. Both phenos are truly stunning in their own unique ways. • Pheno #1 is aiming for the moon — nearly 2 meters tall, stretching with grace, and starting to show her first flashes of color. The top buds are swelling, pistils glowing bright white, and the early hues are giving us a glimpse of what’s to come. • Pheno #2 stays more compact around 120 cm, with equally gorgeous bud formation — dense, balanced, and full of life. We did a light defoliation this week to open the canopy, helping airflow and light penetration reach deeper into the structure. The goal is simple: give the photons space to dance and the air room to breathe. The results are already visible — the girls look happier, more open, and vibrant. 🌿 Environment & Feeding Conditions are stable now that the AC is up and running (finally!). Temperatures have dropped to a comfortable range, and both phenos seem to love it. We continue with our Aptus Holland organic program, using: • Regulator • Top Booster • CalMag Boost The pellets in the soil are still doing their silent magic, slowly releasing nutrients and keeping the system balanced. 💫 Bud Development This week, trichomes are starting to form more visibly, and the white hairs are shining under the lights. The buds are stacking up beautifully, especially on Pheno #1 — her size and structure promise something truly special. The aroma is beginning to intensify, that sweet, deep tone of the Permanent Marker genetics revealing itself layer by layer. 🌍 A Quick Recap From germination in the CannaKan, through the lush veg powered by Aptus nutrition, under the ThinkGrow and Future of Grow LEDs, this grow has been a journey of precision, patience, and passion. Now, at week 5 flower, we’re officially entering the heavy bloom phase — where the artistry of the genetics truly begins to express itself. 🏆 Dognabis Cup Update The Dognabis Cup is officially in full bloom too! The welcome boxes have reached growers worldwide, and we’re seeing the first unboxings and diaries popping up — what a beautiful sight! To all participants: good luck and have fun! Remember, the more detailed and complete your diary, the better your chances of winning. This Cup is about sharing, learning, and growing together — and I’m so proud to see it finally taking shape. 🌱 What’s Next Next week, we’ll be looking for more color expression, denser stacking, and the early glisten of trichome frost. I’ll also be keeping a close eye on the temperature balance as the buds pack on size. Huge thanks to everyone who follows this journey — the sponsors, the community, the growers, the dreamers, the haters, the lovers — every one of you makes this space alive. Until next week, stay lifted and stay curious. 🌿✨ To grow is to share, to bloom is to connect — and through every cup, seed, and story, we keep the garden alive. **THE DOGNABIS CUP OFFICIALLY STARTED** ⏰ @everyone **The Dognabis Cup** is an independent, community-driven virtual competition designed to bring people together, celebrate and share the passion for cultivation.

10/17/24 Short facts: - Continued with LST - Watered: 1 x 1.2L, 1 x 0.3L - VPD @ 0.9 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 50% ~580 - 620 PPFD - Removed 5 leaves --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As promised last week, i made a video and explained the progress so far, and did show you the plant. Not much to report. I continued LST, though I’ve stopped for a few days now since the branches are well spread out, and that should be enough for the time being. The AvT was in Preflower since last week and switched to flower on day 28. Really good plant. No problems at all.
