Hey Growers! The girls have officially packed their bags and moved into a much fancier place. The new setup comes loaded with perks: an automated controller that keeps the environment dialed in 24/7, managing every device so the VPD stays exactly where it should be (because apparently plants are picky like that). Drainage? Automated. Irrigation? Also automated. Basically, the grow room is now smarter than most of us on a Monday morning. Thanks to multi-frequency fertirrigation, the girls are getting up to 6 daily watering cycles, keeping the substrate pH stable and nutrient-ready at all times. Less babysitting for me, more thriving for them: a deal I'm very happy to sign. Now, onto the Mental Rainbows, and things are finally looking up. After slightly bumping up the Calmag base to 0.6 EC and doubling the daily watering frequency, something seems to have clicked. The new growth is no longer twisted and curled, and honestly, that's enough to give me hope. Now that I'm pushing irrigation up to 6 times a day, I can only expect things to keep improving. A few of the smaller, slimmer plants don't seem to have developed a main cola: their internodes are all growing at roughly the same pace. So while I'll be topping the bigger, more advanced girls that do have a clear main shoot, I might skip the topping on the slimmer ones and let them take their time catching up in height instead. No point rushing what doesn't need rushing. That said, even though these plants had a bit of a rocky start (likely due to a slightly more delicate genetics), I'm still very confident in them. As proven in my last run, plants that struggled early on ended up delivering even better results than the ones that looked bulletproof from day one. So, as they say: never judge a book by its cover, or in this case, by its baby seedling! 🌱 Tips, tricks, and roasts are always welcome. Happy growing everyone!

I think I over dried. Next time I will not wait for stems to snap and start dry trim a bit earlier.

Got a new light this week, it's basically a HLG 260 R-Spec except locally manufactured using the same Samsung LEDs. Big Mumma got her 60x60cm tent today and will go in there under one Viparspectra 300W blurple (130w from the wall). I trimmed her, super cropped her main stem and added a scrog net in preparation of flowering her in the next couple of days. Because my other plants were getting up past 75cm after 7 days of flower (100cm is my absolute max) , I decided to supercrop the canopy back down to about 60-65cm - it was pretty scary and I definitely broke the outer stem on some of them. Also gave them a good trim. Fortunately most bounced back strong the next day which are the most up-to-date photos you see (17/4/20).

I busted myself up so havent been able to get into the grow much for a couple weeks. They are definitely thirsty and not getting enough water so will water more deeply next time around a gallon per tote a day.

Day 63 She got flushed a few days ago to see if i could prevent the issues that already happened with the other plants, but didn't seem to help the situation much just brought new issues to the table. Shes starting to put on some size now, shes got atleast another 4 weeks on her to go if not 5 weeks. Cant smell her whatsoever, just zero odour atm hopefully something develops smell wise soon.

Here we are day 55 for our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid. I would immediately like to say, do you notice anything by any chance? I said day 55 and we're pretty much ready. The leaves are turning yellow regularly, I have removed the fertilizers, the pistils are ripe, the resin is out, there are all the signs for a harvest which should take place towards the end of next week. The plants were born on April 6th, I repeat on April 6th for those who cannot grasp the concept. Most certainly Watermelon Candy and Wurlz will be harvested around June 6th, guys...8 weeks...not even 9 or at most nine weeks. If you're good at math, you do it otherwise I'll lend you some fingers. For topping lovers it means that if you want to do topping on autoflowering plants they won't finish in biblical times, according to my calculations even doing topping shouldn't go beyond three months, like an autoflowering from the previous generation. Why am I talking about the previous generation? Because these have certainly moved forward with speed, I have seen them grow and above all swell the flowers like I have never seen them do. As for the rest of the resin and pistils, everything is really in place. I want to do a terpene inspection soon and evaluate the ripeness for the harvest. Strong, fast, stable as promised by Zammi. https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10666-zamnesia-seeds-watermelon-candy-f1-automatic.html Feeding is by Plagron with the Power Buds - Sugar Royal - Green Sensation + Alga Bloom combo that drives me crazy https://plagron.com The lights are from Viparspectra p2000 and provide super light www.viparspectra.com/ Tent & Air www.secretjardin.com Music of the week www.radionula.com +++ 432 hz frequencies to keep in line my Girls to Gaia. Site Description ZAMNESIA SEEDS - WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: BUDS BURSTING WITH FLAVOR If you've been looking for a flavorful strain with superb genetics that's effortless to cultivate, the hunt is over. Thanks to reliable F1 hybrid genetics, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic showcases the highest degree of productivity and efficiency. This strain takes everything you know and love about the original, and packages it in a plant with even greater potential. GROWING WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Derived from Watermelon, Candy Kush, and ruderalis, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is a finely tuned medley of genetics. This cultivar is fast to flourish and reliable to grow, no matter where you choose to grow. Taking just 9–10 weeks from germination to harvest, she provides a uniform growing experience culminating in a huge haul of buds for her size. Reaching heights of 65–80cm, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic stays pretty grounded, making her perfect for smaller growing areas where space is a commodity. It also means you can fit more plants in if you have the room! Once ready to yield, growers will see a return of 400–450g/m² indoors and up to 100g/plant outdoors. Moreover, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is highly resistant to pests and disease, making it an ideal strain for newcomers and fans of low-maintenance cultivation. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC If we haven't already sold you on the power of F1 hybrid genetics, the proof is in the pudding. Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is teaming with terpenes and cannabinoids, making for a lively high coupled with huge flavors. Just one hit is all it takes to sample rich fruitiness mixed with sweet candies and a slight earthiness to back it up. And with an average THC content of 23%, the effects are euphoric at the start but settle into deep relaxation soon after. Whether you're chilling alone or with friends, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic will see you right. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io

Light still on 500w and stretch is in full flow, not put on as much height as the other side of the tent in the Wilmas but obviously due to such a large plant (5ft square in a 20L pot) in a single pot. Day 21 I will defoliate and maybe trim away a few smaller bud sites

Die Woche lief sehr gut, alle Pflanzen haben gute Fortschritte gemacht und sehen meiner Meinung nach auch gesund aus 😄 das Wachstum der beiden Z-ups ist nahezu identisch und wenn ich sie mit anderen diaries vergleiche, dann finde ich das Fastbuds mal wieder einen sehr soliden Strain rausgebracht hat. Von den Mandarin Panties gibt es wenig bildliche Dokumentationen, was einen Vergleich schwer zulässt, aber ich finde den Wuchs ganz schön. Mal sehen wann die Ladies in die Blüte kommen, ich gehe ja davon aus das sie diese Woche in die Transition gehen

Week 13 from seed — or as we like to call it here, around Week 9 flower on this 12/12 from seed run — and the Frozen North is fully living up to its name. Outside may be rain, but inside the tent it feels like a snowstorm made of resin. Animal Mints is absolutely covered, from the tops to the sugar leaves, and every day the flowers seem to gain a new layer of frost. This week is a very calm but very important phase. We are not “pushing” plants anymore. No heavy feeding, no forcing, no chasing numbers. Just water with Pure Zym, observation, patience, and allowing the plants to naturally finish their cycle. Last week we transitioned into this enzyme-and-water-only approach, and honestly, the reaction has been beautiful. The plants are still drinking, still swelling, still stacking weight, while the fade slowly begins to paint the leaves with those late-flower colors we love to see. And this is exactly why these plants look different from many traditional grows. From the beginning, this run followed a simple philosophy: let the plants work efficiently instead of endlessly forcing growth. 12/12 from seed creates a very unique structure and rhythm. The plants stay more focused, more direct, and instead of wasting time building oversized vegetative structures, they channel energy into dense flower production early. The result is a room full of productive spears, compact stacking, incredible resin coverage, and surprisingly efficient use of space and light. Morphologically, they really tell the story of the run. Tall but controlled structure, clean vertical development, excellent penetration, and flowers forming all across the plant instead of only at the top canopy. The under-canopy lighting deserves special mention this week because the lower and middle sections are performing way above expectations. Despite a few small LED burns on buds that grew a little too ambitious and got too close to the light, the overall effect has been amazing. Lower flowers are dense, frosty, and actually worth keeping instead of becoming forgotten popcorn. That alone says a lot. This stage now becomes almost meditative. Every day is inspection day. Checking flowers carefully for bud rot, airflow issues, hidden moisture pockets, stress signs, or anything unusual. Thankfully, everything is looking healthy and stable. Buds are getting harder, heavier, and more resinous by the day. Some pistils are already turning orange and brown, calyxes are swelling beautifully, and trichomes are slowly starting their transition. Right now we still see a lot of clear heads, with only a few amber trichomes appearing here and there. The goal remains the same: waiting for that beautiful mostly-cloudy window before making the final harvest decision. And honestly, this is where patience matters most. At this point, harvest timing is no longer measured in weeks on paper, but in daily plant evolution. Maybe next week becomes harvest week. Maybe the one after. The plants will decide. For now, they are still packing weight, still evolving, still teaching. Environmentally, temperatures may not follow the “perfect textbook grow chart,” but the plants clearly did not read the textbook either. They are happy, praying, resin-heavy, and productive. Sometimes the best approach is simply reading the room instead of forcing strict VPD perfection. Stable plants matter more than perfect charts. The macros this week also tell an incredible story. Frost coverage is reaching extreme levels, trichome stalks standing tall, resin heads clustering together like tiny crystal forests. Some of the close-up shots almost stop looking like flowers and start looking like another world entirely. This is one of those weeks where photography becomes part of the grow itself. Bringing plants into the studio, documenting the late-flower transformation, capturing the fade, the resin, the imperfections, the beauty — all of that becomes part of preserving the journey. And finally, massive thanks to everybody involved in this run and in this journey overall: Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the support. The sponsors and equipment partners. Grow Diaries for providing the platform. The community following since day one. The new growers arriving every week. The experienced growers sharing knowledge. The skeptics, the lurkers, the silent supporters, even the haters — everybody crossing paths here contributes something to the energy of the project. From grower to growers: thank you for being here. Now we keep observing, keep learning, keep respecting the process, and let the Frozen North finish writing its legend. 📡 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.
