IZI Seeds GC 2025 🏆 Permanent Bluez

CheeRz WEEK 1 - VEGETATION: Observations & Early Mutations ​ ​🌱 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE ​Growth Status: The Permanent Bluez is now one week into vegetation. The plant shows great color and strong stem development, reaching a height of 5 cm. However, this phenotype is showing a distinct mutation right from the start. ​The Mutation: As seen in the photos, the seedling has emerged without a traditional growth tip (Apex). The primary set of leaves is developing, but the central terminal bud is missing. This is a rare but interesting genetic trait that will definitely influence how the plant structures itself in the coming weeks. ​Reaction: Despite the missing tip, the plant is very vital. My focus is now on supporting the existing foliage and observing how the plant chooses to develop its next nodes. The genetics from IZI Seeds are definitely unique, and I'm ready to adapt my training methods to this specific lady. ​📋 ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS ​Light Cycle: 18/6 ​Temperature: 24°C ​Humidity (RH): 50% ​pH Level: 7.0 ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​Week 1 and already a surprise! The missing growth tip makes this run very special for the IZI Seeds Contest. I’m not worried because the overall health and green 'pop' of the plant are excellent. It’s all about observing and reacting now. Let's see what she does in Week 2! Keep it IZI 💚.

CheeRz WEEK 2 - VEGETATION: Intervention: Topping the Mutation ​ ​✂️ THE GROWER'S INTERVENTION ​The Challenge: As documented in Week 1, this phenotype of Permanent Bluez emerged without a traditional central growth tip (Apex). To prevent the plant from staying dormant at that terminal point, I had to take action this week. ​The Action: Topping I performed a clean topping at the site of the missing tip. The goal was twofold: ​Stimulation: To force the plant's energy from the central mutation into the lower lateral branches. ​Structure: To encourage the development of a multi-topped canopy right from the start, bypassing the dead-end mutation. ​Reaction: The plant is showing great vitality and has already accepted the LST and topping. The side branches are beginning to push up, and I can see the structure adapting. This shows excellent resilience! ​📋 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL ​The focus this week was on a mild environment to support recovery after the cut. ​Light Distance: Slightly increased from the Pure LED Q-V2 to reduce intensity and light-stress. ​Temperature: A gentle 24°C – 24.5°C. ​Humidity (RH): Increased slightly to 55% – 60% to minimize transpiration stress on the developing foliage. ​pH Level: Steady at pH 7.0. ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​"Week 2 was critical for this run. I made the call to perform a manual topping to deal with the missing apex from Week 1. I'm very happy with how she reacted! She’s a fighter and already pushing the lower nodes. This looks like it's going to work out beautifully for a nice, bushy structure. Challenge accepted! 💚" Keep it IZI 💚

CheeRz WEEK 3 - VEGETATION: Post-Topping Recovery & Early Lateral Growth ​ ​🌱 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE ​Recovery from Topping: After the successful intervention in Week 2, the Permanent Bluez is now fully focused on developing its side branches. The central mutation is no longer an issue, as the plant’s energy is being redistributed beautifully to the lower nodes. ​Vigor: The growth is steady. The leaves are a deep, healthy green, and the stem is thickening up. At 10 cm height, she is staying low and compact, which is perfect for the planned training in the coming weeks. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​The Supplement Strategy: Since the substrate is still rich in base nutrients, I am only using specific BioBizz supplements to support root health and metabolic efficiency during this transition: ​Root-Juice (4 ml/l): To ensure a massive root system for the upcoming explosive growth. ​Acti-Vera (2 ml/l): Boosting the plant's natural immune system. ​Bio-Heaven (2 ml/l): Helping with nutrient translocation and keeping the plant’s energy levels high. ​Calmag (0.3 ml/l): A steady baseline to support the high metabolic rate under the Pure LED Q-V2. ​Parameters: ​pH: 7.0 ​Light Cycle: 18/6 ​Temp: 24°C ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​"Week 3 was the 'calm before the storm.' After topping her last week, I’m just letting her find her new rhythm. The IZI Seeds genetics are showing great stability and a very healthy response to the training. She’s building a solid foundation now. Next week, we start shaping the canopy! Keep it IZI 💚

CheeRz WEEK 4 - VEGETATION: Training Tensions & Emergency Recovery ​ ​🌿 CROP MANAGEMENT: PUSHING THE LIMITS ​Growth Status: It’s Week 4 of vegetation, and the Permanent Bluez is growing incredibly vigorously. The early topping has resulted in a very bushy, multi-branch structure. To keep the canopy even and ensure light reaches the lower nodes, I’ve intensified the LST and performed further defoliation. ​The Injury & Recovery: I made a silly mistake this week—I was a bit too aggressive while bending the branches for LST and hurt "Bluey" a little. I immediately provided emergency treatment by reducing tension and supporting the area. Fortunately, she seems to have recovered well and continues to grow with great vitality. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​I am sticking to the supplement-heavy routine to support the plant through this high-stress training and recovery phase: ​Root-Juice (4 ml/l): Maximizing root health to fuel the explosive top growth. ​Acti-Vera (2 ml/l): Vital for the "emergency treatment" to help the plant heal the stem injury. ​Bio-Heaven (2 ml/l): Providing the metabolic boost needed for recovery and rapid foliage development. ​Calmag (0.3 ml/l): A steady baseline to prevent any deficiencies under the Pure LED Q-V2. ​Parameters: ​pH: 7.0 ​Height: 10 cm (kept low and wide through LST) ​Light Cycle: 18/6 ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​"Week 4 was a bit of a rollercoaster. Even though I caused a small injury during training, the resilience of these IZI Seeds genetics is impressive. She didn't slow down at all! The structure is now perfect for the upcoming flip to flower. Keep it IZI! 💚"

CheeRz WEEK 5 - FLOWERING: The Flip & Nutrient Transition ​ ​🌼 THE TRANSITION TO FLOWER ​The Flip: This week marks the official start of the flowering stage. The Permanent Bluez is currently 20 cm tall. She is staying compact and very bushy, which is a direct result of the topping in Week 2 and the consistent LST I've applied since then. ​The Strategy: The light cycle is now 12/12. I am expecting a healthy stretch during these first weeks of bloom. The plant's structure is robust, with the side branches well-positioned thanks to the red LST clips. The foliage is a vibrant, healthy green, showing she is perfectly primed for bud production. ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​With the move into the flowering stage, I have updated the feeding schedule as follows: ​Bio-Bloom (1 ml/l): Introduced for phosphorus and potassium. ​Top-Max (1 ml/l): To stimulate flower production. ​Fish-Mix (2 ml/l): To provide organic nitrogen for the early flowering stretch. ​Acti-Vera (2 ml/l): For continued immune support. ​Bio-Heaven (2 ml/l): To keep metabolic energy levels high.
