MistaOC 20.10. Super Buff Cherry #26 – Grow More Fire Genetics | Week 1 Strain: SuperBuffCherry #26 Breeder: Grow More Fire Genetics Selected by: Grow More Stress Less Grower: MistaOC Start: 20 October 2025 Stage: Week 1 – Vegetative Phase ⸻ General Overview • The new run has officially begun with a fresh SuperBuffCherry #26 cut. • Week 1 marks a clean, well-prepared start — the tent has been deep-cleaned, all tools sterilized, and the environment reset after previous challenges. • Everything indicates a healthy, balanced beginning with strong potential for vigorous growth ahead. ⸻ Nutrients – BioTabs Organic System • This cycle is powered entirely by BioTabs, focusing on a natural, living-soil approach rather than bottled nutrients. • The base includes Startrex for microbial activation and Mycotrex for strong root colonization. • BioTabs tablets provide slow-release organic feeding that keeps the root zone active and self-sustaining over time. • Early signs show the plant responding extremely well — deep green color, no stress, and strong, early vigor. • The BioTabs method continues to prove that simplicity and biology can outperform constant liquid feeding when the soil is alive and healthy. ⸻ Plant Development • The SuperBuffCherry #26 is off to an excellent start. • Growth is compact and symmetrical — internodal spacing is tight and balanced under the LED canopy. • Leaf structure appears thick and glossy, suggesting strong root health and balanced nutrition. • No early stress or pest pressure observed; a textbook first week. ⸻ Observations & Early Impressions • The genetics show classic SuperBuffCherry traits — thick stems, solid branching, and a vibrant cherry-like aroma already beginning to surface when brushing the leaves. • The plant clearly enjoys the mild, organic feeding rhythm from the BioTabs setup. • There’s an overall impression of calm, stable development — a great contrast to the previous, pest-heavy run. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Focus for Week 2: continue maintaining stable humidity and airflow, and allow the root zone to fully establish before any training begins. • If growth continues at this pace, low-stress training (LST) could start by mid-Week 2. • The combination of Grow More Fire genetics and the BioTabs system could turn this run into one of the smoothest and most flavorful yet. ⸻ 🌱 Week 1 Summary: A strong, organic start for SuperBuffCherry #26. Powered by BioTabs and clean growing conditions, the plant shows healthy, balanced growth and excellent early vigor — exactly the kind of beginning that promises a smooth and aromatic cycle ahead. 24.10. • Four days in, and all four SuperBuffCherry #26 plants have settled nicely into the tent. • Growth is consistent across the board — leaves are upright, vibrant, and responding well to the environment. • The plants show early vigor, confirming that the BioTabs setup is creating a stable and active root zone. ⸻ Training & Growth Management • Today, all four plants were topped for the first time. • It might be a little early in the schedule, but the structure looked ready — strong enough stems, tight internodes, and healthy new growth points. • The goal is to encourage early lateral development and promote a wider, even canopy before the main stretch begins. • Slight early topping can sometimes slow vertical growth temporarily, but it usually pays off with stronger side branches and more balanced bud distribution later on. ⸻ Observations • Post-topping, the plants show no visible shock — leaves remain firm and perky. • The BioTabs system continues to perform quietly in the background: steady nutrient release, no signs of overfeeding or pH stress. • So far, everything feels smooth and under control — a very promising start. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Over the next few days, close observation will determine how each plant reacts to topping. • If recovery remains strong, gentle LST (low-stress training) could start early in Week 2. • The aim is to maintain an open, breathable structure to make the most of the SuperBuffCherry’s natural vigor and aroma potential. ⸻ 🌱 Day 4 Summary: Early topping complete — all four SuperBuffCherry #26 plants look healthy, confident, and well-balanced under the BioTabs regimen. A fast start with solid structure and plenty of potential ahead.

MistaOC 28.10. Progress Overview • Eight days in, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 plants are showing steady recovery after the early topping on Day 4. • Growth momentum has returned — new shoots are visible at the main nodes, and side branching is beginning to expand. • The overall impression: slightly slowed by topping stress, but still on track for a healthy vegetative rhythm. ⸻ Post-Topping Recovery • The plants clearly felt the cut — minor stress signs visible (slight leaf curl and slower new growth). • However, the color remains strong, and all tops are pushing new growth tips already. • This brief recovery dip is expected after early topping and should stabilize completely within the next few days. • Once the new shoots strengthen, canopy management and gentle LST can begin. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips issue hasn’t disappeared entirely — still visible, but very minimal. • Continuous counter-measures are in place to keep the population suppressed. • So far, the balance seems under control, though full eradication will take consistent attention. • No major new damage spots seen — a positive sign that the preventive strategy is working. ⸻ BioTabs Performance • The BioTabs organic system continues to hold its promise: stable nutrition, no burn, no deficiency. • Even under light stress, the plants show resilience — a good indicator of strong microbial activity and root health. • The living-soil dynamic keeps everything buffered and calm, helping recovery without any liquid feed adjustments. ⸻ Notes & Outlook • Next focus: allow the plants to fully bounce back before applying any further training. • Maintain airflow and humidity control to discourage pest rebound. • If the recovery trend continues, Week 2 should close with a well-structured, evenly topped canopy ready for shaping. ⸻ 🌱 Day 8 Summary: Mild topping stress visible, but recovery underway. Thrips presence minimal and managed. The BioTabs system keeps everything stable — resilience and structure are returning fast, and the SuperBuffCherry #26 still shows solid potential moving into full Week 2. ———————————- ——————————— 01.11. Progress Overview • The vegetative phase officially comes to an end — today marks the transition into flowering. • The light cycle was switched from 18/6 to 12/12, meaning tomorrow begins Flower Day 1. • Overall, the run looks solid: strong structure, healthy color, and good vitality, with only minor pH adjustments needed. ⸻ Soil & pH Situation • Current soil pH measured at 5.7, slightly below the ideal range. • Early signs of a calcium lockout were noticed, but detected in time before major impact. • Corrective measures are underway to bring the medium back up to 6.3, the target zone for optimal nutrient uptake. • Adjustments are being made gradually to avoid disturbing the microbial activity sustained by the BioTabs system. ⸻ Pest Situation • The thrips and general pest presence are now almost completely gone. • Continuous preventive work has paid off — the situation is under firm control. • No new damage visible; foliage remains clean and healthy. • This is the most stable pest status since the start of the run — a clear sign that the reset and preventive routine were effective. ⸻ Plant Condition • Plants remain strong and compact after early topping; internodes uniform and canopy even. • Minor signs of stress linked to the low pH, but overall vigor remains high. • Once the pH correction stabilizes, calcium uptake should normalize and growth will accelerate again. ⸻ BioTabs System Performance • The BioTabs organic feeding system continues to demonstrate resilience and balance. • Even under suboptimal pH, the living-soil biology buffered the stress effectively — no burn, no deficiency spiral. • Root zone remains active, and microbial life appears to be compensating for the short-term nutrient block. ⸻ Outlook • Focus for the next few days: confirm that pH correction holds steady and monitor for the start of the stretch phase. • Expecting visible early flowering development within 3–5 days after the 12/12 switch. • The goal is now to maintain environmental stability and airflow as the plants begin vertical growth. • With pests under control and the soil balance returning, the bloom phase starts under good conditions. ⸻ 🌸 Day 12 Summary: Slight pH imbalance (5.7) addressed and under correction, calcium uptake soon to normalize. Thrips nearly eradicated — pest management finally stable. The 12/12 light cycle has begun, marking Flower Day 1 tomorrow. A clean, controlled start into bloom for SuperBuffCherry #26.
