Unfortunately GrowDiaries is still acting a little funny with harvest updates, so this report is being uploaded under a normal flowering week again. But make no mistake — this is harvest time. Week 14 from seed, and these girls were ready. 🌱✂️ And honestly… what a beautiful journey this has been. Before talking about harvest itself, I think this is the perfect moment for a quick recap of how these Amnesia Skunks reached this point. This entire run was done The Zamnesia Way — simple, intentional, and plant-led. 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Very little touching. Almost no manipulation besides some gentle leaf tucking and selective support when needed. No chasing perfection. No fighting the plant. No forcing structure. Just attention, observation, environment, light, airflow, nutrition, and letting the plants grow naturally into the PPFD instead of forcing them into it. And somehow, through simplicity, these girls rewarded us beautifully. Not the tallest plants. Not the biggest yield monsters. But wow… these buds came out incredibly dense, compact, greasy, and aromatic. The structure on these flowers was honestly beautiful to watch during trimming. Thick stems, heavy branching, dense internals… almost like processing little pieces of timber instead of flowers. You can clearly see where the density comes from when looking at the branch structure itself. By Week 14, the signs were all there: fading leaves, slowed drinking, fully swollen flowers, strong aroma, mature trichomes, and that overall feeling the plant gives you when she says: “I’m ready.” So harvest day arrived. ✂️ Some plants were dried whole. Some were broken down branch by branch. And in reality, the dry room became a mix of both methods depending on available space and plant structure. The drying process itself is one of the most important and misunderstood parts of cultivation. A proper dry is not just about removing water. It’s about preserving terpenes, slowing degradation, protecting cannabinoids, and allowing the flower to transition gently instead of crashing into dryness. These girls dried for around 7–10 days. Temperatures stayed mostly around 18–20°C, while humidity stayed close to 60% RH overall. During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally lowered closer to 45% to help remove the initial surface moisture and reduce the chance of trapped humidity inside these very dense flowers. After that initial phase, the environment stabilized and the flowers were allowed to slow dry properly. One of the simplest indicators we use is the branch “click.” Not a complete snap. Not bending like rubber. But that soft internal click that tells you the outside has dried enough while the inside still contains life and moisture ready for curing. That’s when trimming begins. And for this run, everything was hand trimmed. Scissors. Trim bins. Patience. Love. Care. Every single bud handled individually. Machine trimming is fast, but hand trimming preserves shape, resin heads, bag appeal, and overall flower integrity in a completely different way. Especially with flowers like these, covered in resin and packed tightly, hand trimming allows you to keep the flower looking and feeling natural instead of shaved down or damaged. And underneath the trim bin… the gold. ✨ What many people call waste is actually one of the most beautiful rewards of trimming carefully. All the tiny broken trichome heads, loose resin, micro sugar leaf coverage and fallen gland heads collect naturally at the bottom of the trim bin during the trimming process. That’s what I like to call “trim bin gold.” Not full-melt hash but almost. Not static sift. Not dry sift. But a beautiful natural resin-rich collection straight from handling properly dried flowers. And honestly… these girls gave A LOT of it. One of the resin balls alone came out around 0.7g after simple hand rolling from collected trim-bin resin, while the second plant also produced a very respectable amount even without bothering to weigh it properly. Sticky. Aromatic. Potent. A true pleasure after long trimming sessions. 😄 After trimming, the flowers were transferred into glass jars and also into the Zamnesia vacuum curing containers. And these containers honestly deserve a quick explanation because they are actually very useful for curing. Unlike normal storage, vacuum containers help reduce excess oxygen exposure around the flower while still allowing proper curing conditions inside. Less oxygen means slower terpene degradation, slower oxidation, and better long-term aroma preservation when used correctly. The flowers are now curing slowly and properly for over a month before the final smoke report arrives. And yes… there will absolutely be a full follow-up report very soon. That next report will focus much more on: the cured flower, aroma development, smoke quality, effects, terpene profile, how the cure evolved, and a full reflection on everything we did — and did not do — during this run. Because sometimes what you choose NOT to do matters just as much as what you do. As for final dry numbers after trimming and curing: 57.2g 116.3g 33.8g 85.2g So together, both Amnesia Skunks gave you a final dry/cured/manicured total of 292.5 grams And honestly? For two relatively compact 12/12-from-seed plants with minimal intervention… I’m more than happy. But numbers never tell the whole story. The smell. The density. The stickiness. The trim-bin resin. The beauty of the flowers themselves. That’s the real reward. And before closing this harvest chapter, I truly want to thank everybody involved in this journey. The GrowDiaries platform. The entire community. The longtime followers and OGs. The new followers discovering the page for the first time. The curious ones. The silent ones. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The people who only stopped by for 5 seconds. And the people who stayed for the entire grow. Thank you. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition. Thank you to the gear that kept running day after day. Thank you to the environment itself. Thank you to the plants. And thank YOU for being here with me until harvest day. 🌱 The story is not over yet. The cure continues. And the smoke report comes next. 📡 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.
