squalino Date: February 16, 2026
Genetics: Wham Boom Auto (Anesia Seeds)
Age: J+14 (Started on 02/02)
Height: 8 cm
Development & Structure
Early branching: Clear appearance of the first secondary branches at the lower nodes (photo 1). This is a sign that the plant has strong dominance and is already starting to "bush out" instead of just growing taller.
Vigor: The main stem is thickening and new leaves are emerging with a nice density.
Watering Management
Status: Substrate still very moist.
Action: No watering or nutrient addition for 7 days. I'm letting the root system "search" for moisture to expand. I will only resume watering when the top of the pot is dry and the edges too.
Today's date: February 20, 2026
Age: J+18
Height: 9 cm
General condition: Very vigorous, the secondary branches continue to push.
💧 Watering & Nutrition (Today's session)
Volume: 1.5 liters of water.
pH: 6.3 (Ideal for nutrient absorption in soil/bio).
Additive: 1g of Bactrex (Inoculation of beneficial bacteria).
Technique: Targeted watering on the edges of the pot to stimulate radial root expansion.
🔍 Observations of the day
Substrate correction: The edges were starting to retract (sign of drying), indicating it was time to restart the cycle after the wet stagnation period.
Structure: The plant remains compact (about 8-10 cm), which is perfect for a Wham Boom Auto under light, avoiding unnecessary "stretch" too early.
Foliage: The green is deep and uniform, no signs of deficiency or excess.

squalino 📝 Grow Journal :
Date : February 23, 2026
Age : J+21
Method : LST with two pressure points
🛠️ Structural Work (LST)
Low anchor point : Setting up a tie at the base of the trunk to stabilize the plant. This prevents the tension applied higher up from lifting or damaging the root ball.
High bending point : Pulling in the opposite direction on the upper part of the main stem.
Goal : Break the apical dominance to force the plant to distribute energy (auxins) to the secondary branches. This allows the lower nodes to be directly exposed to light and creates a flat canopy ("canopy leveling").
💧 Nutrition of the Day
Plant solution : 1.5L of water (pH 6.3) + 5ml Orgatrex.
Amendment : 1 BioTabs pushed in.
🌡️ Environmental Parameters
Temperature : 23°C (Ideal for photosynthesis during the growth phase).
Humidity : 55% (Perfect for avoiding fungal issues while maintaining good transpiration).
Visual Analysis
Explosion of the secondaries : The lateral branches that were barely visible a few days ago have significantly stretched and are seeking to reach the main canopy.
Structure :
The plant has a very stout and robust structure. The main trunk is thick and the leaf petioles are strong.
Foliage Health : The green is intense and uniform. It is observed that the plant is starting to consume more water, a sign that the root system is now well established.
🔍 Expected Impact within 48h
The secondary branches that were in the shade will start to stand up vertically towards the lamp.
The plant will take on a "bush" shape rather than a Christmas tree.

squalino 📝 Journal de Culture : Bilan à 4 Semaines
Date : 02 mars 2026
Âge : J+28
Variété : Wham Boom Auto (Anesia Seeds)
🌡️ Paramètres du jour
Température : 23°C (Jour) / 20-21°C (Nuit).
Humidité : 60% (HR).
💧 Nutrition & Hydratation
Apport : 0,5 Litres d'eau.
pH : 6,3.
Engrais : 5ml d'Orgatrex.
Stratégie : Arrosage localisé sur les bords du pot pour compenser la sécheresse périphérique tout en laissant le centre (encore humide) respirer.
🔍 Analyse Visuelle
Structure "Flat Canopy" : le palissage est une réussite totale. On voit clairement sur les photos que l'apex (tête principale) a été dompté et se trouve désormais au même niveau que les branches secondaires.
Développement des secondaires :
Les bras latéraux profitent à 100% de la lumière directe. Ils sont vigoureux et les entrenœuds sont courts, ce qui promet une plante très dense.
Santé foliaire : Les feuilles sont larges, bien vertes (signe que la BioTab et le Bactrex font leur travail en profondeur). La plante respire la santé.
🛠️ Travail effectué
Récupération LST : La plante a déjà redressé toutes ses têtes vers la lumière suite au LST Le tronc principal s'épaissit pour soutenir la structure.
📉 Conclusion de l'analyse
À J+28, la Wham Boom Auto est parfaitement préparée pour la floraison. Elle a une structure en "buisson" grace à la lumière diffusée sur toutes les branches secondaires qui va maximiser le rendement. Comme elle est bien nourrie et que son environnement est stable, elle va maintenant commencer à consommer son eau beaucoup plus rapidement.

Date: March 9, 2026
Age: J+35 (Week 6)
Genetics: Wham Boom Auto (Anesia Seeds)
📏 Measurements & Environment
Plant Height: 27 to 28 cm.
Lamp-Canopy Distance: 68 cm (Intensity: 50%).
Temperature: Day: 23-24°C / Night: 20-21°C.
Humidity (RH): 55% - 60%.
💧 Nutrition & Soil Life (Today's Session)
Water Volume: 0.5 Liters.
pH: 6.3.
Additive: 1g of Bactrex.
Technique: Targeted watering on the edges of the pot as the center remains moist.
🛠️ Growing Technique: LST (Low Stress Training)
Action: Intensive training session performed last night and 3 leaves removed to free the lower buds.
Reaction: Immediate recovery, the buds have already straightened up towards the light.
Observations: The main stem and secondary branches have become particularly thick and rigid, making handling more delicate.
🔍 Analysis
Stretch Explosion: The plant has grown nearly 8 cm in a week. You can see in the photos that the internodes are starting to space out, a characteristic sign of the beginning of pre-flowering.
Leaf Density: The color is a deep and uniform forest green, indicating that the plant is perfectly saturated with nutrients (thanks to BioTabs and Orgatrex).
Appearance of Pistils: Upon close observation of the buds in the photos, we can start to see the first white pistils (stigmas) emerging at the center of the new leaf shoots. Pre-flowering is about to start!
Canopy Control: Despite the rigidity of the stem, LST has allowed for a very wide canopy. Light is now reaching the lower flower sites that were previously hidden.

squalino 📝 Grow Journal: Flowering Entry
Date: March 16, 2026
Age: J+42 (Week 7)
Height: 40 cm (+12 cm in one week)
🌡️ Environmental Parameters
Temperature: 24.5°C (Ideal for nutrient metabolism during flowering).
Humidity (RH): 55%.
Lighting: Power increased to 75%.
Lamp-Canopy Distance: 67 cm.
🛠️ Technique & Maintenance (LST)
Growing Observations: Strain showing exceptional rigidity of branches and trunk.
Incident: Breakage of a branch below a bud during the last training due to the low flexibility of the branch, using tape to close the break to prevent pests, bacteria, or fungi.
Energy Redistribution: By removing this branch, the plant will redistribute sap and nutrients (Orgatrex/BioTabs) to the other tops.
Canopy: Despite the amputation, the photos show a very bushy plant with many flowering sites still intact and well-formed.
Grower's Note: Demanding genetics, not recommended for beginners for structural work (LST/HST) due to its mechanical fragility once the trunk is lignified.

squalino 📝 Grow Journal: Flowering Phase - Substrate Alert & Stress Management
Date: March 23, 2026
Age: J+49 (Start of Week 8)
Height: 54 cm (a growth of +14 cm in one week!)
🌡️ Parameter Reminder (InchAngés)
Lighting Power: at 75%.
Lamp-Canopy Distance: 67 cm.
Humidity (RH): 55%.
Temperature: 24.5°C.
⚠️ Problem Detected: Root Asphyxiation & Salt Buildup
Diagnosis: The substrate remains too wet for too long, indicating good root oxygenation.
Visible Consequences: Slight decrease in vitality and gradual slowdown. Nutrient absorption is disrupted, which could lead to a buildup (overpotting) of mineral salts.
🛠️ Corrective Actions & Action Plan
Total Diet: No more input (water or nutrients) until the pot becomes extremely light, indicating deep drying.
Pot Aeration: The pot has been elevated from its saucer.
Goal: Promote air circulation under the pot to accelerate evaporation from the bottom and restart root respiration.
🔍 Visual Analysis & Health
Structure: The Wham Boom Auto has a nice and dense canopy. The LST worked very well, despite my little issue with the broken branch that was removed, creating a flat flowering surface.
Flowers: The buds are numerous and starting to form at the tops of the branches.
Leaf Health: The dark green color shows a good level of nutrients. Some leaf tips are starting to show signs of production, confirming the onset of stress related to salt accumulation.
📈 Personal Note.
The plant is beautiful despite this substrate issue. The "stretch" at 54 cm shows that it has resources. The decision to elevate it is the best thing to do. We are now waiting for it to "ask" for water (slight droop of the leaves) before intervening again.
Next step: Monitor the evolution of the "swelling" of the buds and the color of the leaves. Once the pot is dry, a light flush may need to be considered before resuming flowering nutrition.

squalino 📒 Grow Journal: Flowering Phase – Stabilization & Gradual Recovery
📅 Today's Date: March 29, 2026
🌱 Age: J+55 (Week 8 advanced)
📏 Height: 54 cm (stabilization, end of stretch confirmed)
🌡️ Parameter Reminder (Adjusted)
💡 Light Power: at 75%
📏 Lamp-Canopy Distance: 65 cm
💧 Humidity (RH): 50%
🌡️ Temperature: 24.5°C
⚠️ Current Status: Root recovery phase ongoing
General Observation:
The plant shows encouraging signs of stabilization after root stress. The stretch seems to be over, making way for bud development. The buds are starting to structure well with a nice formation of pistils and a gradually intensifying purple coloration.
However, some lower leaves are showing advanced yellowing with necrosis, a sign that the plant is drawing from its reserves due to the previous nutrient uptake blockage. The upper foliage remains generally healthy, indicating a gradual but still fragile recovery.
⚠️ Updated Diagnosis:
Root stress improving
Nutrient uptake still partially disrupted
Beginning of localized senescence at the bottom (normal post-stress reaction)
🌿 Visible Consequences:
Yellowing of lower leaves (nutrient mobilization)
Flower development ongoing, still light but uniform
Compact structure with good head distribution
🚫 Controlled Watering:
Maintaining the current strategy: 2 ml pk 5-8 with 0.5 liters of water pH 6.3. No more watering until the pot becomes very light to ensure complete drying of the substrate and optimal re-oxygenation of the roots.
🌬️ Environmental Optimization:
Humidity slightly lowered to 50% to limit risks and promote transpiration
Lamp distance adjusted to 65 cm for a good balance between intensity and stress management
🍃 Light Maintenance:
Gradual removal of the most affected leaves if necessary, to prevent them from becoming a hindrance or a weak point.
🎯 Goal:
Fully restart root activity, stabilize nutrient absorption, and guide the plant towards a healthy and productive flowering.

Date: April 5, 2026 (D+62)
Age: Week 9
Height: 54 cm
🌞 New Setup & Parameters
Space: Tent change made for this final phase.
Lighting: Switched to a Pure LED 240W.
Setting: Intensity at 100%.
Distance: Positioned 65 cm from the canopy.
Climate: Parameters unchanged (Humidity 55% / Temperature 24.5°C).
💧 Watering Management (Session of the day)
04/06
Volume: 0.75 L of tap water.
pH: 6.3.
Method: Light humidification only on the top of the pot. The goal is to maintain some surface activity without worsening the stagnant humidity at the bottom.
⚠️ Personal Analysis & Observation
This is where I need to be honest with my journal. Despite my rescue attempts (flushing, light feeds, raising), the root issue isn't stabilizing, and the leaves continue to dry out.
Final diagnosis: It's not a genetic issue. The Wham Boom Auto is a powerful plant, but I mishandled the water and substrate management (asphyxiation/blockage).
Note to the Breeder: I want to apologize to Anesia Seeds. The problem comes from my cultivation management and not from the quality of their seeds.
Lesson learned: This session taught me a lot about the sensitivity of potted roots. I will try the experience again in a few months with a better approach from the start.
🔍 Visual Analysis
The Flowers:
Despite the drying of the large leaves, the buds are well-formed. They are compact and nicely resinous. You can see that the plant has given its all to finish its flowering.
The Foliage: The contrast is striking between the residual green of the buds and the "burnt" feeding leaves. This is a sign that the plant is drawing its last strengths from its own tissues.
Structure:
The canopy remains well spread thanks to the early LST, allowing the buds to fully benefit from the new LED 240W.
The little note:
Honestly, I'm disappointed in myself. Despite the root asphyxiation, I managed to bring an auto to D+62 with some impressive buds! The resin is definitely there. That's the job of a grower: you learn more from a struggling plant than from one that grows on its own.

squalino 📝 Grow Journal: End of Journey - Wham Boom Auto
Date: April 13, 2026
Age: J+70 (Week 11)
Height: 54 cm (Stable)
🌡️ Environmental Parameters
Lighting: Pure LED 240W at 100% power.
Humidity: Maintained at 50%.
Temperature: 25°C during the day / 21°C at night.
💧 Nutrition & Final Strategy
Last feed: 0.5 liters of compost tea (pH 6.3).
Decision: The tea won't help recover the state of the plant. From now on, I'm trying to bulk up the buds; it will only receive clear water until the end of its cycle. I think
⚠️ My Analysis (My personal observation)
I have to face the facts: it's not getting better and isn't recovering. I'm convinced that the problem doesn't come from the plant or the genetics, but from a big mistake on my part that I couldn't correct in time. I'll let it finish quietly with just water to avoid making things worse.
🔍 Visual Analysis
Leaf condition:
The leaves are very dry, burned at the edges, and curled upwards, confirming the ongoing blockage.
Flower development:
Despite the major stress on the foliage, the buds seem to be swelling. There are very pronounced dark purple hues at the heart of the flowers.
Resin:
Trichome production is well present on the calyxes and the small remaining leaves, which bodes well for a decent harvest quality despite the overall appearance of the plant.
Final grower note:
I apologize to Anesia Seeds for this journal. The plant has shown strength, but my handling mistakes took over.
The Wham Boom Auto managed to produce dense and beautifully colored flowers. This purple color is indeed stunning! By finishing with clear water, I'm trying to allow the plant to purify itself, which will improve the final taste. The genetics from Anesia Seeds have shown their robustness by not dying despite root asphyxiation.
Thank you all for following me, and I'm sorry I couldn't demonstrate the quality of this strain. I'll do it again; I don't like to leave on defeats. Have a good day!

squalino Final Assessment & Analysis (My Findings)
I cut her down today. Despite my mistakes along the way, the plant rewarded me with some really beautiful little buds.
Self-critique:
I am aware that I made handling errors that prevented the plant from reaching its full potential. Without these missteps, it surely would have been an exceptional plant.
I can't wait to taste it because the appearance and smell are really promising.
Final Words:
A big thank you to Anesia Seeds for this magnificent Wham Boom Auto.
Thanks also to everyone who followed this diary. I'm sorry for having technically "missed" it a bit, but the experience gained is huge for the future.
It was my favorite for a long time until I just couldn't handle it anymore. As I've gotten older, I can't tolerate Amnesia anymore. A few hits and I can't function. Last summer, we went swimming, I couldn't see the water after a few hits of Amnesia.😅😂😂
