I think the stretch is going to start now. All are in bloom and developing OK. Leaves are drooping a bit too much for my taste and due to the bushy growth are quite overlapping. But I'll from now just let them grow and try to do as little as possible.. Which is incredibly hard. Sometimes I just sit 10 mins staring at my girls,smelling their scent and being thankful that I don't have to fear being locked up for growing a fucking plant 😄

✋Wk 8: Time slows down, as buds build and plants are thirsty. 👉One of the best part about growing cannabis, and actually fun plants of any variety, is that the anticipation of the final results seemingly makes time slow down. When I hit 40 it was like I had hit the top of the hill and everyday since then has seemed like it was getting shorter and time was going by much more quickly. I started growing herbs and peppers on the patio a few years ago the race towards the inevitable has seemed to mellow out. A year ago I started growing LEGAL cannabis! I had dreamed of this since I was in college. The risk was too great to get busted for growing even a small plant. Seeing the plants grow a little each day is amazing. Seeing the progress of just one month is amazing. The days seem to take longer as a pleasant side effect of my impatience for the finished product. I have grown lots of different plants, and cannabis is definitely the most magical to watch grow. 👉The 1 gallon is starting to build out its buds. The shape of the plant is amazing, all the secondary branches are almost the same height! The branches are very stout and have grown straight up. I have supports installed and may start by just making a simple hoop around the plant with some soft garden wire to keep them from spreading out. The frost is starting to form on the one gallon buds as well. The frost is extending out onto the leaves. I haven't removed any leaves or larf sites in a couple weeks. The leaves went from big and fat fans to smaller skinny fingers much like you'd expect from a Sativa dominant strain, yet this is an Indica dominant strain. Its making for much better light penetration so minimal larf and fatter colas perhaps. When fertigating it takes a few minutes to be able to get all the sulution to the plant. This is from the density of the roots. Its been soaking up the water and nutrients very well. Towards the end of the week I was getting less run-off and the run-off EC was climbing. I will probably do a good low EC fertigation next week. 👉The 3 gallon is a dense bush. I haven't taken any of the secondary branches. I have taken some interior shaded small branches from the big branches. I have also taken some of the interior leaves that were totally shaded. Ive have also removed almost all the large early growth leaves as they got more in the way of air circulation and access to the media for watering and observation. The main cola is barely indetifiable as the main cola so far. The symetry of the plant is very nice and I hope it stays this way. Its also behind the 1 gallon plant and will finish 2-3 weeks after it. I am guessing 6 more weeks max. Even if its not ready I will have to harvest it 6 weeks form now because I have to go out of town for business for a week. I will take it as far as it can go. The plant is drinking alot and I am giving it as much as 5 liters a day. The run-off has also gone down and as a result the run-off EC has been creeping upwards as well. The coming week I will be giving it a goof low EC fertigation and increase the volume of inflow. My target for inflow EC is mid range on the General Hydroponics Flora Series Drain to waste nutrient schedule. 👉 I have included pix of my fertigation log. The log show tents conditions, inflow stats and run-off stats. Both plants are soaking up the fluids. Both plants are getting the full line of the General Hydroponics Flora series nutrients/supplements and mixed full strength in RO water from an industrial RO water machine. This week I increased the amount of Cali-magic about 25%. There are some purple stems around and want to keep it from becoming a leaf issue if its form a slight lack of Ca/Mg. Next week I will continue the higher level of Calmag and also will do at least one low EC fertigation. When I do a low EC fertigation I only have Armor Si and Calimagic in the solution. I will follow the low EC event with a small dose of regular nutrient solution. 👉I am sure that the way I am doing this diary is probably pointless in terms of interest to others. I am doing it in the spirit of a true diary and for my own personal use as a record. I am trying to make it understandable and comprehensive for others. I'm sure that is folly in the long run but I do enjoy being able to review my work in a comprehensive way.

Topped this girl this week, she’s growing pretty good. Very nice looking plant to my eye.

Plants took a few days to get stripped down. Missed the second week of flowering and stretching but oh well there is always next time. Very excited to see this canopy full of uniform buds its going to be a sight to behold haha.

9/13 everything's coming along nicely. They look a little hungry for nitrogen. Also showing signs of nutrient burn. Fed them more than I should be. Id like to note that these plants seem more sensitive to nutes than other genetics 9/16 I was right about them being sensitive too nutes. One of the plants is quite burnt by the looks of it. Both plants are extremely frosty though for how early it is. I flushed both plants 3 days ago and today, hopefully it evens out the nutes in the soil. Most of my grows have been with coco, I'm not used to having excess nutrients let alone any in the soil. Nonetheless these plants may be the most impressive ive ever grown In the resin production aspect

I'm not sure if it's genetics, grow environment, nutrients, or all the love and attention I have gave them but the ladies have become MONSTERS! I wouldn't believe you if you told me they were autos. I had to go and buy a huge tent just to house them. They are in full on flower and smell fantastic and aside from the nute burn I got early on they look healthy. Went ahead and added a new 2000W LED cob just to make sure these huge ladies got the proper penetration for their size. Interested in seeing how much adding to the light spectrums will help them continue to fill out. I will be working out of town this week hoping my girlfriend can keep them alive while I'm gone.

Very optimal setup for everything so far. you can really tell the first sprout apart right now because of the second set coming in. Can’t wait to start using nutrients soon!

She's getting frosty!!!!!!!!! Flushing her now ready for harvest.

hey guys sorry for the absence but in this period I have had a lot to do with my work and I have not been able to bring a good detailed diary, but finally now the holidays will start and I will be able to dedicate myself 110% to a new crop and new ones diaries. having said that, I think I will leave him a week at the most and finally reap the benefits 💚🌳💚🌳maybe my fault the RQS slow release nutrients did not perform as much as the ADVs in my tent, you can see it from the video of 27/07/22 where you can see that 2 out of 6 plants are visually leaner and less compact to the touch , I wanted to try on the same varieties in order to have feedback. I think it could also be caused by the crowding of the tent but with the ADV I have not encountered any problems. I will definitely try them again, giving them much more attention.

Her flowers are forming nicely now. Pistils JUST starting to change colour. A few weeks left yet!

Cookies and cream auto is growing great. She is bulking and smelling and looking good. Gonna sit back and let her finish under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. Thank you Medic Grow, and MSNL Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

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.

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.

4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside)2 Black Cherry Gelato BCG (love to smoke it, first time growing) Clones- from my clone guy 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension Garage grow SoCal This week I was out of town and let my grow grow. The autopots did their thing at about .6g a day. I did battle multiple hot days in the garage. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I ran out of bloom and used some powdered kool bloom and it worked well. Thinking of switching to jacks RO but it’s working so good now I don’t want to switch. This weeks accomplishments: install two more autopots - for the gelatos. I put the gelatos in fabric autopots, one 5g xl and one 15g xxl. Scrogging the gelatos to flatten the canpoy Long term issues Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing pest and mold issues - my humidity crept up high when I was gone and I saw a few powder leaves which were promptly removed upon my return. I had to take my fiancé to a swanky resort for a few days. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my black cherry gelato grow. Soon I’ll be posting my outdoor light dep grow - side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows side by side 👍

Wed 01/12 - 5th nodes started to come through now, once the 6th node has hit roughly 5-10mm in height i'll be topping down to 5 nodes again! (SCRoG going up on saturday followed by LST and light defoliation) - Cal-Mag deficiency has cleared up! Sat 04/12 - Topped all Plants, 7th nodes had started but chopped the 6th off back down to 5 nodes on all plants. - Very Slight yellow tips so will Cal Mag Foliar spray 30 mins before lights off. - SCRoG set at 21cm above the medium *note* one plant is now drinking double compared to the rest, most plants taking 1.25L feed every day, this one takes 2-2.5L daily! Mon 06/12 - Took off the lowest fan leaves from every plant as they're just sat in darkness doing nothing - Week 4 I will begin LST and Heavy Defoliate/Lolli-popping - Just ordered some LST Clips so they will be arriving tomorrow.

8 Weeks The "stretch" is done, still a small and really bushy plant, did a little lolipoping but not much. Increased EC and will increase it more to around 2 next week. Hope I don't get mold in this big mess. Some forming buds are really stretched out? idk, never had that before, maybe due to the heat? sadly can't do anything about that, summer. Added Spiderfarmer Glow30 light and they were flicker heavy, removed them soon after installing them, unusable, not only for the video but the light also made me dizzy and sick. After that I installed a single Mars Hydro VG80 bar. Also Installed the Mars Hydro Adlite IR15. Values are average of the day.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hi! Well they are getting nice maturing buds getting bigger and all good. I love the red colour of the Red Hot Cookies. Unfortunately, Tropicanna Poison and Red Mandarnine does not show any signs of purple or red colour. Kalini Asia neither albeit, the bonsai version gets purple. Gelato is little beauty. So yes, basically not much to say. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the ratio and mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Il y as eu de grosse chaleur cette semaine il fesais 30 dans la tente à certain moment de la journée 😬 il y a eu le topping aussi des plant

Week 2 transplanted from solo cups to 5 gal pots an 1 into 7 gal grow bag. Plants had good healthy roots in solo cups..plants keep growing vigorously from the start!!!
