LST has gone well, branches are as far away from the middles as I can get them. Very happy so far, however grow costs are creeping up with the heater and two spider farmer sf1000s. No leaf issues, it's paid off not using any nutrients at all so far. Just tap wate which is hard where I am. Signs of pre flowers....will add 1/4 recommended flowering nutrients, probably at the end of the coming week.

Week 9

Chopped on day 133 - trichomes look swollen and ready - leaves faded out. Cut this according to the biodynamic moon gardening calendar and the dates did seem to align with the plant aromatics being more noticeable. Very excited to do the smoke report on this one - focusing on 60% humidity @ 60 degrees for 21 days to retain terpenes and quality.

Before starting this final smoke review, I want to quickly apologize once again for the harvest report being uploaded on the previous flowering week instead of the official harvest tab. GrowDiaries has been acting a little complicated lately with harvest and smoke review updates, and instead of risking losing photos or information again, I decided to play it safe and upload everything there. So all the harvest, drying and trimming photos are already available in the previous report for everyone who wants to check the full process visually. 🌱 With that said… Welcome to the final chapter of this beautiful Amnesia Skunk journey. ✨ This report focuses mainly on the curing process, trimming philosophy, smoke review, aromas, preservation, and everything that happened AFTER harvest day. Because honestly… harvest is not the end. It’s just the beginning of the flower becoming medicine. After drying, every single bud was carefully hand trimmed, exactly like explained in the previous report. No machines. No shortcuts. No aggressive trimming. Just scissors, trim bins, patience, and intention. Hand trimming is slower, yes. But it preserves the integrity of the flower in a completely different way. The shape stays natural, the resin stays attached, the trichomes stay protected, and the flower keeps its personality instead of becoming overly processed. Everything was saved. The flowers. The sugar leaf. The trim-bin collection. The resin from the scissors. Even the finger hash that naturally builds up while trimming sticky flowers for hours. And honestly… these girls were incredibly generous. The trim-bin collection itself produced beautiful little resin balls full of aroma and character. Sticky, soft, fragrant, and surprisingly potent for something many people would simply throw away. And now… after months of curing… we are finally smoking this beautiful medicine. And wow. This one is honestly difficult to explain properly. The best way I can describe it is: it feels like a sunset walk on the beach. Warm. Gentle. Uplifting. Comforting. Peaceful. Colorful. She’s fruity. She’s punchy. She’s sweet. She touches herbal notes without becoming earthy. She’s fresh but deep at the same time. It’s one of those profiles that somehow feels like everything and nothing simultaneously. Nothing screams too loudly. Nothing dominates. Everything works together. Both phenos ended up being surprisingly similar in terpene profile as well. Different plants, same soul. And curing only made everything better. The aromas did not disappear with time. They intensified. Every jar opening became louder, deeper, sweeter, smoother and more aromatic than before. The inhale became softer, the exhale became creamier, and the overall smoking experience became incredibly comfortable over time. This is a long-lasting flower too. Not only in terms of effect duration, but also in how long the flavor stays dancing in the mouth after exhaling. The buds themselves stayed extremely dense and compact all the way through cure. Beautifully structured flowers with that satisfying weight and firmness you instantly notice when holding them. One thing that genuinely surprised me during curing was comparing storage methods. Part of the flower was cured traditionally in glass jars. Another part was stored inside the Zamnesia metal vacuum curing containers that came with the setup. And honestly… I noticed a difference. The flower stored inside the vacuum container seemed to preserve aromas slightly better and felt more expressive when opening the container. The terpene profile felt a little louder, brighter and fresher compared to the traditional glass jars. And that actually makes sense. Oxygen is one of the biggest enemies of long-term terpene preservation. Vacuum-style storage reduces the amount of oxygen surrounding the flower, slowing oxidation and helping preserve volatile aromatic compounds for longer periods. It doesn’t magically change the flower. But it absolutely helps preserve what is already there. And with a terpene profile like this one… preservation matters. As for effects… This is simply happy medicine. Not chaotic. Not overwhelming. Not heavy. Just… genuinely uplifting. Clear. Warm. Positive. Relaxed. The kind of flower that makes you want to walk slowly near the ocean while the sun disappears in the distance. Honestly, I could genuinely see this being a very comforting medicine for people struggling with sadness, low mood, emotional heaviness or difficult days. There’s something emotionally light about this cultivar that feels very welcoming and peaceful. And comparing the cured flower to the charas and trim-bin resin was also extremely interesting. The terpene profiles stayed very similar between them all, which was beautiful to notice. But the charas had this extra layer of freshness and brightness that almost felt “alive.” Maybe because it came directly from fresh living material. Maybe because of the way fresh resin expresses itself. Maybe because charas simply carries a different soul. Whatever the reason… it was heavenly. And now, as this diary finally comes to an end, I just want to send love and gratitude to everybody who was part of this journey. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the nutrition. To the gear that kept everything running day after day. To the platform itself. To the GrowDiaries community. To the longtime followers and OGs. To the new people just discovering the page. To the curious ones. To the silent supporters. To the lovers. To the skeptics. To the haters. To the people who only stopped for 5 seconds. And to the people who stayed here from seed until smoke. Thank you. Truly. 🌱 This chapter may be closing… But another one is already opening somewhere else in the garden. Stay tuned. A new diary is coming very soon. ✨ 📡 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.

Came home from vacation to gorgeous ladies and their light fragrances. More to follow soon.

Week 4 Broad Mite still making victim. On this week I watered she with water + diatomaceous earth Still waiting for better days, I hope hv succes 😐 Apparently the diatomaceous earth is working against broadmite 😅

This week has been a good one! Not too much more stretch just simply filling up both the spaces with foliage and swollen buds! I’m now watering 6L every 3 days and she’s soaking it all up! Will feed strong for one more week then 2 weeks of flush :) Dehumidifier turned on and set at 40%, ambient air temp dropped to 23/24 day time and 18 with lights off, air flow changed up daily to really help her. Getting keen to harvest/cure/smoke and then put in the next round! 😊 I hope all my followers and readers are well and have great holidays! Keep growing, keep smoking and most of all keep smiling! Much love! 👌✌️👍💐💨😎

This week was an absolute nightmare. For five days straight, our residual-current circuit breaker (RCD) kept tripping multiple times a day until I finally discovered—regretfully—that the dehumidifier was the cause. As a result, the ladies will now have to go without a dehumidifier for an indefinite period, which is leading to very high humidity levels in the basement. today she got transplanted into bigger pot. Light hits with around 450 PPFD

Day 8- CRX Sunny X-5 is failing. Time for a new flowering LED. Thinking either the Viparspectra 1200w or the Mars Reflector 192 but open to suggestions for a 4x4 canopy. Day 9- more leaf tucking in the net. Decided to go with two smaller lights(Mars ECO98’s) rather than 1 big one as there’s nothing in the middle to utilize the primaryily lit area of a bigger light. Hopefully they arrive tomorrow. Day 10- Everyone happy and flowering. Topped up res with H2O. Anxiously awaiting new lighting Day11 - New lights arrived and installed. More leaf tucking. All plants are actively flowering now Day13- more tucking. Buds are beginning to stack up and seem to be liking the new lights. Day 14- more leaf tuck and H2O topup. Next week lower N. Raise PK and will likely add some RAW amino acids, and biogenic silica. Possibly some vitamin B.

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

Week 4 Day 1 Time to flush, plants showing signs of over feeding. Flush with 2 gallons, water came out yellowish + 2 hours of sunlight Week 4 Day 2 Awesome result from flushing. 4 hours of sun light today to boost them up.

Finish. Will see what next happened...

Monkey Bomb is pushing past its 8 week flower time now with at least another 14 days of strong growth left, the resin build up on this strain is straight from its lineage and it shows very strong gassy smell and resin like glue . Great strain for the patient grower thank you @bombseeds

Some Bud pics & a quickie video for this weeks special :D Sadly enough the foxtailing is evolving more and harder. Did turn down the light to 75% output on monday in hopes it would stop the foxtailing but it doesnt looks like it will

Die Permanent Marker nähert sich mit großen Schritten dem finalen Reifestadium, wobei die Blütenstände mittlerweile eine beeindruckende Dichte und Schwere erreicht haben. Das visuelle Highlight bleibt die exzessive Harzbildung, die wie eine dicke Schicht aus Eiskristallen auf den kompakten Buds liegt und die erstklassigen Qualitäten der Traphouse Genetics Genetik unterstreicht. Die Anthocyan-Färbung an den Blattstielen kontrastiert wunderbar mit dem tiefen Grün der Fächerblätter, während die leuchtend orangen Stigmen fast vollständig in den angeschwollenen Calyxen versinken. Alles an dieser Pflanze signalisiert nun die maximale Konzentration von sekundären Pflanzenstoffen und Terpenen, was den bevorstehenden Abschluss dieses Runs zu einem vielversprechenden Erlebnis für jeden Trichom-Enthusiasten macht.

Hi everyone this week most leaves die in a day and I think is due high ppm so I start to feed with just water then next week I chop her down
