Eight amazing strains in a 4x4 / ORGANIC

SWITCH420 Because I’m short on time for this run (I’m moving to a new home in January), I flipped to flower after about four weeks of veg instead of my usual two months. The plan is to keep this cycle to roughly three months in total. I also do not top the plants this time, it would arm them to long ... So, I’m running two Mars Hydro LED FC4000 EVO fixtures, delivering a solid 640W in the tent with beautifully even light across the canopy. As always, I’m using my living super soil—now on its fifth cycle—and it just keeps getting better. Pure gold at this point. I also invested in a precise PAR meter this round, which makes managing modern LEDs so much simpler and more consistent. The soil is supported with dry, organic amendments, and I refresh the biology periodically with compost tea preparations. So far, everything looks incredibly healthy—vibrant growth, strong structure, and no issues to report. For plant training, I’m using a gentle low-stress approach that opens up the structure and maximizes light exposure without removing healthy leaves. It keeps photosynthesis efficient and helps the plants express their full potential.

SWITCH420 Just after flipping into flower, the stretch has already begun. In only a week, the growth has exploded and the canopy is almost completely filled. The organic soil—energized with oxygenated compost preparations—comes alive during this phase, and you can clearly see how much the plants respond when the whole environment is dialed in. Working with living soil is incredibly rewarding. You’re essentially becoming the caretaker of an entire microscopic ecosystem—billions of beneficial fungi and bacteria working together in harmony. It truly feels like you’re pouring love straight into the soil. Going organic is such a beautiful journey. 🌱 A small insight from my experience: supporting soil biology with diverse microbes and natural extracts can make a real difference. Gentle watering, mindful soil care, and letting the system regulate itself helps maintain that balance. When everything aligns, you often see the plants respond quickly—leaves lifting, colors brightening, and an overall boost in vitality. It’s a wonderful transformation to witness. And beyond the visual growth, there’s something special about fully organic cultivation: the flavors, aromas, and overall experience often feel elevated in a very natural, expressive way. Another huge benefit is sustainability—you can reuse the same soil run after run, improving it each cycle as the living ecosystem matures. I’m on my fifth run with this soil, and I can genuinely feel the difference.
