GreenHobbit Week 1 – Germination & First Stretch 🌱 The new run has started and all the seeds have sprouted – except for the Super Boof, which unfortunately didn’t germinate. Stuff like this happens sometimes and is just part of it. The rest of the girls in the grow room are developing well. Currently on board are: • Purple Punch Auto • GMO Cookies Auto • Blueberry Auto • Runtz Auto • Hyperion F1 When switching the lamp, I was initially a bit too cautious with the distance, causing the little ones to stretch slightly upwards. But that's completely unproblematic at this stage. I stabilized the Purple Punch just to be safe, so it doesn't topple over until the stem gets a bit stronger. In the meantime, I've reduced the lamp distance from 70 cm to 50 cm, and the lamp is currently running at 30% power. Since then, the plants are responding much better and the growth is becoming more compact. Now the little ones can first build their root system in the large pots before the actual growth phase really starts. ⸻ 🌡️ Grow Room Conditions (Average Week 1) • Air Temperature: ~21 °C • Humidity: ~75 % • VPD: ~0.6 kPa • Soil Temperature: ~21–22 °C • Light Output: 30 % • Lamp Distance: 50 cm The conditions are currently looking pretty good in the seedling range, so let's just let them grow relaxed for now. 🌱

GreenHobbit 🌱 Week 2–3 | Day 18 since germination The girls are developing really well right now, and I'm overall very satisfied with the progress so far. For starting directly in 15 L of soil, they are stable and show healthy, even growth. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Impression All plants are vigorous, with nice leaf structures and no noticeable deficiencies. The stretch is moderate and absolutely within range. Current favorites: • ? Blueberry Auto → very compact, strong leaves, seems the most stable • ⚡ Hyperion F1 → even growth, very clean structure The other strains are keeping up well: • GMO Cookies a bit lighter, but still within range • Runtz slightly stretched • Purple Punch currently a bit more reserved ⸻ 💡 Light The power has been increased from 30% to 45% over several days, at about 50 cm distance. → The goal was to control the stretch a bit and promote more compact growth. So far, all plants are responding positively to it. ⸻ 🌡️ Climate • Temperature: about 20–23 °C • Humidity: mostly 60–70 % rH ⸻ 💧 Watering Yesterday, after almost a week, watering was done again for the first time: • about 300 ml per plant • in a ring with ~8 cm radius → The goal is still to actively pull the roots outward and not to soak the pot completely too early. ⸻ 🧠 Observations • First slight color differences in individual plants, but currently still uncritical • Overall very healthy impression • Growth is becoming increasingly dynamic now ⸻ 🔜 Outlook In the coming days, the focus will be on: • slightly increasing light intensity • control watering with a growing radius • preparation for the first light training measures (LST) ⸻ Conclusion: Very stable start to early veg. If the development continues like this, it could be a really strong run 🔥🌱

GreenHobbit Week 3 (4 days since germination) – Vegetative phase is really taking off The girls have officially arrived in week 4, and you can definitely tell they are slowly moving into the next phase. Growth has noticeably picked up in the last few days, and the structure is becoming more stable day by day. All plants are currently in 15L pots and are developing very evenly overall, even though you can slowly start to see some differences between the strains. ⸻ Plant Development Most plants are now showing a nice, compact structure with short internodes and strong stems. The GMO, in particular, remains nice and bushy, while Blueberry and partially Runtz want to stretch a bit more. The leaves are a rich green and vibrant, with the new growth being slightly lighter, which is absolutely normal at this pace. Overall, all plants look healthy and stress-free. ⸻ Light & Setup The light is still being gradually increased (currently running at a moderate level), which is having a positive effect on growth. No stretch, no signs of light stress – just the way it should be. Currently, the SF3000 is at 50% power with a distance of 45-50cm. The distance is currently good; I will continue to increase the intensity in small steps. ⸻ Climate The conditions are currently quite stable: • Temperature: ~20–23°C • Humidity: ~60–65% • VPD: ~0.9 kPa This puts me pretty much right in the optimal range for veg. ⸻ Watering Watering is still being done carefully in the outer ring to encourage the roots to grow outward. The soil moisture is currently at ~34%, which has proven to be a very good value. You can already tell that water consumption is slowly increasing. I'm now at 500ml every 3 days. ⸻ Nutrients Currently, everything is still running on the pre-fertilized soil. Now that week 4 has started, I will begin to carefully incorporate the Green House Bio Bloom in the next few days so that the nutrients are available in time when pre-flowering starts. ⸻ Outlook In the next few days, it will be decided how much I intervene. Light LST is planned – especially for the plants that tend to stretch more, to achieve an even canopy. Otherwise, the motto remains: observe, react, don’t overdo it. ⸻ Conclusion I am really satisfied with the current state. The plants look healthy, the setup is running stable, and everything is developing just in the direction I envisioned. Thank you for checking in, my growmies, updates to follow 🏻

GreenHobbit Week 5 – Start of Pre-Flowering & Explosive Development The fifth week begins with a noticeable growth spurt and the first visible signs of pre-flowering. Especially the GMO Cookies is already showing initial flower sites – a clear sign that the run is now moving into the next phase. ⸻ 📊 Environmental Conditions • 🌡️ Temperature: consistently ~22–23°C • 💧 Humidity: 55–65% • 🌬️ VPD: stable at ~1.0–1.2 • 🌱 Soil Temperature: ~21–23°C • ⚡ EC: slight increase since top-dressing (March 28) 👉 Setup continues to run extremely stable in the optimal range ⸻ 💡 Setup & Measures • Light currently at ~60% • Distance: ~40–50 cm (adjusted after stretch) • Watering: 500 ml per pot (pH 6.3) 👉 Water consumption is now clearly increasing → plants are visibly working harder ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Growth has accelerated significantly within a few days: • strong side shoots are now visibly growing upwards • the canopy is starting to close • structure is becoming increasingly uniform 👉 classic explosive phase before flowering ⸻ 🔥 Individual Review Top Performer: • GMO Cookies (first pre-flower visible 🔥) • Hyperion / Blueberry → bushy, strong, very good branching Solid Development: • Runtz → a bit more stretch, but growing evenly Purple Punch: → compact Indica pheno → thick, fleshy leaves → stays shorter, but develops a stable structure 👉 no deficiency, but genetic difference ⸻ 🌱 Fertilization • Greenhouse Bio Feeding (~3g/L) incorporated around day ~24 (45g per pot) • Effect is now clearly visible in growth ⸻ 🧠 Assessment The run is currently very clean and controlled. All parameters are working together, no signs of stress or deficiencies. 👉 Transition into pre-flowering is fully underway 👉 Structure is now deciding for the flowering phase ⸻ 🚀 Outlook (Mid Week 5) • further rapid growth • more plants will show pre-flowering • height differences will become more pronounced 👉 Focus: • increase light gradually • further adjust watering amount • observe canopy

GreenHobbit Week 6 – Death Stretch & Keeping Control This week was really something. The stretch completely escalated – especially with the Blueberry and the GMO. Both have gained around +40 cm in just one week. Right behind them comes the Hyperion, which is also giving it a good push. Runtz and Purple Punch, on the other hand, remain true to their style: compact, bushy, and controllable – a perfect contrast in the room. Despite the strong growth, I was able to keep the canopy balanced. All plants are now at the same height and are running steadily at about 40 cm distance from the lamp, which is currently working perfectly. When watering, clear differences are showing: The Blueberry is still extremely thirsty and quickly drains the pot, while Purple Punch needs significantly less. The handling of the 15L pots is now running really precisely. I have continued to tidy up below to ensure that the energy is directed into the tops. The structure is now nice and airy and focused on the main buds. 👉 Conclusion: Massive stretch, clean control, and a very homogeneous area – this is exactly how it should look in bloom

GreenHobbit Week 7 – Day 43 The girls are now fully transitioning from stretch to flowering. The growth has been clearly visible over the last few days – especially Blueberry and GMO are really putting on weight and pulling the rest along. Yesterday, I fed the three "gluttons" (Blueberry, GMO, Hyperion) with 15g of Bio Bloom each and then watered them thoroughly. The differences in water consumption are becoming more and more apparent – Blueberry is currently clearly the thirstiest. The structure is developing just as desired: • Blueberry very homogeneous and robust • GMO with long internodes and many bud sites • Purple Punch remains compact and bushy The climate is stable at around 22–23°C and ~58% rH, which is currently perfect for this phase. In the coming days, the focus will be on letting the soil work well and hitting the right watering time so that the buds can develop optimally.

GreenHobbit Week 8 – Day 52 | Start of the Hot Phase The girls have fully entered the flowering stage, and the stretch is over. The structure is set, now it’s all about bud development and weight. Especially the Blueberry is showing again why it’s considered a Heavy Feeder – high water consumption and solid growth. The bud sites are developing evenly across the whole canopy, and the first signs are visibly denser. Overall, a very healthy impression, lush green, and stable shoots. I’ve slightly adjusted the watering behavior to incorporate more dry phases and let the roots work harder. No more feeding is needed – the existing supply is more than enough until the end. The climate remains stable, and air circulation is becoming even more important now that the leaf canopy is getting noticeably denser. From now on, the focus is clearly on: * compact buds * clean climate and watering management * no unnecessary stress I’m curious to see how they escalate in the next 2 weeks 😏🔥

GreenHobbit 🌿 Week 9 | Day 57–63 The ladies are now visibly entering the final phase. The buds continue to grow, becoming denser and showing more and more resin production. The first tops are already developing a nice mix of white and orange pistils – a clear sign that they are slowly heading towards maturity. 🌱 Plant Status * Blueberry (back left): Still the biggest eater in the tent. Shows noticeable yellowing in the lower area, but at the same time is pulling a lot of energy into the buds. Developing beautiful, compact flowers. * Runtz (back right): Stays a bit more relaxed in consumption, but has a very uniform bud structure. Developing steadily without any issues. * Purple Punch (middle): Compact, dark green, and extremely frosty. The buds already look very dense and resinous – definitely a highlight in the room. * GMO (front left): Making good progress and is close to the Blueberry in terms of growth and consumption. Good mix of stretch and bud mass. * Hyperion (front right): Also very vigorous, stable development, and beautiful flower formation. Keeping up well with the larger plants. ⸻ 💡 Setup & Climate With the rising outside temperatures, the air conditioning is now also running to maintain stable conditions. The temperatures remain in the optimal range, which has a direct positive effect on bud development. * Light output: further increased / near maximum (94%) * Distance: kept constant * Air circulation: well distributed, no stagnant air ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrients The plants currently have a high water consumption – especially Blueberry and GMO. The soil is mostly depleted, which is shown by the yellowing, but is absolutely within range for this phase. 👉 No additional topdressing anymore – focus is now on clean pulling through to harvest. ⸻ 🔍 Development & Outlook * Buds are getting thicker daily * Resin production is visibly increasing * First signs of maturity present I currently expect about 3-4 weeks until harvest, depending on the strain and pheno. ⸻ 📌 Conclusion Week 9 A really stable run without major issues. The differences between the strains are now clearly visible, making the grow even more exciting.

GreenHobbit Week 10 | Day 64 - 69 The run is slowly heading into the home stretch, and the differences between the genetics are really becoming visible now 😄 Kept the climate pretty stable this week: 🌡️ 22–24°C 💧 43–50% rH 📈 VPD mostly between 1.3–1.6 The Purple Punch is turning into an absolute frost monster. No huge buds, but brutally compact and rock-hard. Exactly the kind of flowers that will completely escalate in the grinder later 😅 The Runtz keeps surprising me more and more. Lots of bud sites, strong autumn colors, and really nice structure. The arms are getting thicker every day, and it looks more mature each day. Hyperion and Blueberry have also developed very firm buds. The Blueberry looks a bit wild, but still produces a decent amount of resin and dense flowers. The GMO still has the largest buds in the room, though it's a bit airier than the other plants. But it brings a lot of character and plenty of frost. The trichomes are now getting really milky, but there are still enough clear heads present. Just a bit more patience 😏 Also, I've started experimenting with different perspectives and macro shots. It's really fun to capture the plants in this phase now 📸

GreenHobbit Week 11 | Day 70–77 – The Finish Line is in Sight The ladies are now on the final stretch of flowering, and each strain is slowly showing its own unique character. This week was all about climate control and patience. The plants are now allowed to do what they do best: build buds, produce resin, and get a little heavier every day. The biggest change was optimizing the climate. The air conditioning has practically taken over the role of exhaust and is continuously pushing air outside – even when it's not actively cooling. Together with the dehumidifier and now four fans, the climate is running significantly more stable than it was just a few weeks ago. While the spikes in humidity haven't completely disappeared, I'm currently very satisfied with the grow space in the attic. You can also clearly see that we are in late flowering when it comes to water consumption. Especially the Purple Punch has started to drink significantly more this week. However, the Blueberry remains the undisputed thirstiest plant in the room, draining its pot surprisingly quickly at times. Something is happening with the buds every day right now: 🍇 Blueberry continues to gain density and is getting stickier by the day. 🍬 Purple Punch is impressing me more and more. The buds may not be huge, but they are rock-hard and completely covered in resin. Quality over quantity sums it up best here. 🚀 Hyperion F1 is continuing to develop very evenly and steadily building mass. I'm still very pleased with the structure. 🍭 Runtz has kicked it up a notch this week. The short internodes are now creating an impressive number of bud sites, and the buds are visibly starting to swell. ? GMO Cookies continues to carry the largest buds in the room. A bit looser than the Purple Punch, but just the size of the colas is impressive. The smell is also getting more intense day by day. Opening the grow room now brings a completely different scent cloud than just a few weeks ago. At the same time, trichome production is visibly increasing in all plants, and the first buds are now looking exactly as one hopes for in late flowering. Aside from the actual grow, there have also been some developments with GrowDiary. The diary is getting more and more attention, new followers are joining, and it seems a small circle of regular supporters has formed. It's really fun to see that even experienced growers are showing interest in this round. Thanks to you all for that! 🙏🏼 For the coming days, the goal remains: keep the climate stable, no unnecessary experiments, and let the plants set their own pace. The finish line is now clearly in sight – now it's time to stay calm and enjoy the last weeks. 🌱🔥💚 Happy Growing! 😎🤘🏻🌱

GreenHobbit Week 12 | Day 77–84 🌿🍁❄️ The final countdown begins Week 12 marks the beginning of the actual harvest window. After 84 days, the five ladies clearly show that their life’s work is fulfilled: The last reserves are being mobilized, the leaves are changing color more intensely every day, and the trichomes are approaching the perfect ripeness. While the plants increasingly resemble an autumn forest on the outside, the flowers are presenting themselves in top form. Resin production, colors, and aroma have visibly increased again this week. ⸻ Climate & Setup 🌡️💨 The conditions remained stable: * Temperature: approx. 26 °C * Humidity: approx. 43 % * VPD: 1.9 kPa * Spider Farmer SE3000 still at full power * Air conditioning, dehumidifier, and several circulation fans keep the attic under control The soil EC is now almost at zero. The plants have taken their nutrients down to the last crumb and are clearly in the final phase. ⸻ Trichome Check 🔬 The magnifying glass was used several times this week. Observations: * predominantly milky trichomes * only a few clear heads left * first amber trichomes visible * all varieties are now in the harvest window or just before it Currently, it is no longer the calendar that decides, but solely the plant. ⸻ Variety Overview 🌱 GMO Cookies 🌲 The undisputed production machine of the grow room. Buds everywhere, weight everywhere. Although the plant has visibly diminished on the outside, it still delivers impressive flower clusters. The trichomes already appear very well developed, and the GMO is among the candidates that could fall at any moment. ⸻ Blueberry ? The biggest drinker of the entire run. Even in the twelfth week, it is still pulling water, although the leaves now clearly show how much energy has already gone into the flowers. The buds remain compact and well developed. Despite its "worn-out" appearance, there is still surprisingly much life in the flowers. ⸻ Purple Punch 🖤❄️ The absolute frost monster of the tent. Almost black leaves, completely covered in resin, and rock-hard flowers. The contrasts between the dark leaves and the white trichomes have become spectacular. Visually, without a doubt one of the most impressive plants of this run. ⸻ Hyperion 💜 The elegant beauty of the run. Beautiful purple accents, even structure, and compact buds. Not the loudest plant in the tent, but a variety that becomes more attractive with each passing day. The ripening is progressing a bit slower than with GMO or Purple Punch, but is also clearly moving towards the finish line. ⸻ Runtz 🍁🔥 The star of the week. The Runtz has transformed into a true explosion of colors: * Yellow * Orange * Red * Pink * Purple * Green All at once on one plant. In addition, beautifully shaped flowers and a strong layer of resin. Every time the grow room is opened, the gaze automatically first goes to it. Definitely the beauty queen of this run. ⸻ Conclusion of the week 🎯 Week 12 was characterized by ripeness, colors, and resin. The five ladies impressively show their respective characters: * ? Blueberry – the worker * 🌲 GMO – the producer * 🖤 Purple Punch – the frost queen * 🍁 Runtz – the beauty queen * 💜 Hyperion – the elegant one The trichomes are now checked daily, and the harvest window is open. Just a few more days can determine the perfect timing. The run is approaching its finale – and the last images already suggest that this will be one of the most beautiful and diverse autoflower runs I have ever had. 🌿🔥❄️🍁

GreenHobbit Week 13 | Day 85–91 The final dance before the axe 🌲 Week 13 marked the final sprint for the five autos. After over three months under the LEDs, the goal is now within reach. The plants are showing all the classic signs of ripeness: strong fade, autumn colors, bone-dry fan leaves, and a resin production that still brings a wide grin to my face even after 20 years of growing experience. The Purple Punch continues to develop into the secret star of the run. What often looks inconspicuous in photos reveals itself upon closer inspection as a massive bud bush with astonishing density. The dark colors, almost black leaves, and thick, rock-hard buds make it an absolute eye-catcher. The GMO has also made significant progress in the last few days. The buds are completely covered in resin, and the trichomes are now showing significantly more maturity than just a few days ago. The effect should be exactly in the direction I envisioned for this run. The Blueberry has surprisingly caught up strongly and is now fully in the harvest window as well. Its flowers are completely frosted and are now showing the first amber hues. Hyperion continues to present itself as a true frost machine. The flowers look like they've been dusted with powdered sugar. While the trichomes appear slightly younger than those of Purple Punch and GMO, it is now also in the maximum potency phase. The Runtz delivers a true color fireworks display for the finale. Yellow, orange, red, green, and purple meet incredibly frosty buds, making it one of the most beautiful plants of the entire run. This week, numerous macro shots were taken again to track the trichome development. While just a few days ago there were still individual clear heads, milky trichomes now dominate. The first amber heads are now appearing on all plants, confirming that the harvest window has officially opened. Watering has been significantly reduced. The plants are now fully drawing from their reserves and are showing a spectacular fade. This is exactly how you want to see a run just before the finish line. After 91 days, the final decision is now at hand: a few more days of patience for the desired amount of amber or swing the axe. The goal of this run has always been a heavy, body-focused effect with maximum ripeness – and that’s exactly what the plants are currently heading towards. The next update will most likely be the harvest report.

GreenHobbit Harvest | Fast Buds – Purple Punch Auto Day 93 – Harvest Day The Purple Punch Auto was the most visually impressive plant of the entire run. Towards the end of the flowering stage, it developed an almost black coloration with purple and dark purple accents, while the buds were simultaneously covered in a thick layer of trichomes. With a wet weight of 192 g, it was the smallest plant of the run, but it convinced with exceptional appearance and very compact, resinous flowers. Especially the dark sugar leaves and the strong contrasts between black, purple, and frost made it a real eye-catcher. The entire plant was wet-trimmed and then hung up to dry slowly. The final dry yield and a detailed smoke report will follow after curing.

GreenHobbit Harvest | Zamnesia Seeds – Runtz Automatic Day 93 – Harvest Day The Runtz Automatic developed into an extremely colorful plant during the flowering stage. By the end, it displayed yellow, orange, red, purple, and green hues simultaneously, making it one of the most striking plants of the grow. The buds were dense, resinous, and evenly distributed across the entire plant. With a wet weight of 279 g, it delivered a very good yield while also having excellent bag appeal. After the wet trim, the flowers went straight into the drying rack. The final dry yield and a detailed smoke report will follow after the curing.

GreenHobbit Harvest | Zamnesia Seeds – GMO Cookies Autoflower Day 93 – Harvest Day The GMO Cookies Autoflower developed a robust structure throughout the entire cycle and produced numerous compact flower clusters with strong resin production. With a wet weight of 239 g, it landed solidly in the middle of the run. The buds appear dense and heavy, promising a good yield after drying. The strong trichome production was particularly impressive right up to the end. After the wet trim, the flowers were carefully laid out in the drying rack. The final dry yield and a detailed smoke report will follow after the curing.

GreenHobbit Harvest | Zamnesia Seeds – Blueberry Automatic Day 93 – Harvest Day The Blueberry Automatic showed stable development throughout the entire grow and impressed with its classic Blueberry appearance, good resin production, and compact buds. At harvest time, the plant weighed in at 245 g wet weight. The buds looked firm and well-ripened and were trimmed wet right after harvesting. After trimming, the flowers were laid out to dry slowly. The final dry yield and a detailed smoke report will follow after curing.

GreenHobbit Harvest | Royal Queen Seeds – Hyperion F1 Day 93 – Harvest Day The Hyperion F1 was the most productive plant of the entire run, with a wet weight of 305 g. It developed strong flower clusters, excellent resin production, and maintained a very healthy structure until the end. The buds appeared dense, heavy, and evenly formed. Especially the combination of yield, frost, and vitality made it one of the strongest plants of this round. After the wet trim, the flowers were gently hung up to dry. The final dry yield and a detailed smoke report will follow after curing.
