Chicken n’ Wafflez by Humboldt (HSC) #2

CannaArchive After a smooth germination phase, the Chicken n Wafflez #2 transitioned very confidently into its first week of vegetative growth. From early on the plant showed a compact and sturdy structure with tight internodal spacing and healthy symmetrical leaf development. 💚 The first true leaves developed quickly and the stem thickened up nicely throughout the week. Compared to the other young plants in the tent, the Chicken n Wafflez #2 appeared very stable and balanced with healthy vibrant coloration and steady daily growth. 🌿 Environmental conditions remained stable around 23–25°C with elevated humidity during the early part of the week before gradually lowering into a more comfortable vegetative range. Lighting was provided by the Spider Farmer SE5000 running high above the canopy at softer intensity levels around 150 PPFD on an 18/6 schedule. Gentle airflow helped strengthen the young plant without causing stress. ☀️ The coco, wormhumus, perlite and vermiculite mix continued performing very well and stayed airy while still retaining enough moisture for healthy root development. Watering remained controlled using reverse osmosis water together with CalMag Extra from Advanced Nutrients. 💧 By the end of week 1 the Chicken n Wafflez #2 already showed very healthy early vigor and developed into one of the most stable and compact young plants in the tent. ✨

CannaArchive During week 2 the Chicken #2 continued developing very steadily and showed strong healthy vegetative growth throughout the entire week. 🌱✨ The plant stayed compact with tight internodal spacing while producing increasingly larger fan leaves and a noticeably thicker stem. Growth remained very balanced overall and the structure became bushier as new growth accelerated during the week. The healthy green coloration stayed consistent and the plant reacted very positively to the stable environment and coco-based medium. 🌿💚 Environmental conditions remained stable with controlled watering using reverse osmosis water together with CalMag Extra. The substrate continued drying back evenly and allowed healthy root development while the Spider Farmer SE5000 provided gentle but consistent lighting for early vegetation. 💧☀️ By the end of week 2 the Chicken n Wafflez #2 looked vigorous, compact and very healthy overall. The root zone appeared well established and the plant was preparing nicely for transplanting during the following week. 🚀🔥

CannaArchive Week 3 marked an important step forward as the Chicken n Wafflez #2 was transplanted into a 6L fabric pot filled with a biologically active mix of BioBizz Light Mix, coco, perlite, worm castings, Startrex, Silicium Flash and BioTabs. 🌿 Before transplant, the root system had developed extremely well and showed healthy white roots throughout the root ball. The plant handled the move into the larger container very smoothly and showed little to no visible transplant stress afterwards. 💚 Growth remained compact and vigorous throughout the week with strong stem development, broad fan leaves and tight internodal spacing. New growth appeared quickly after transplant and the plant continued building a sturdy structure while establishing itself in the fresh medium. 🌱 Environmental conditions remained stable around 25.5°C and 60% relative humidity. Watering was carried out using reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag, while a single application of Green House Feeding Bio Enhancer was used to support microbial activity and root development. 💧 A major upgrade was also introduced this week with the installation of the Spider Farmer infrared bars. The IR schedule was configured to simulate natural sunrise and sunset conditions and will continue to be part of the lighting strategy moving forward. ☀️ By the end of Week 3, the Chicken n Wafflez #2 looked healthy, vigorous and fully settled into the new container. Strong vegetative growth and excellent structure made this one of the most successful weeks of the run so far. 🚀🔥🌱

CannaArchive The Chicken n' Waffelz had another excellent week of vegetative growth.🌱 She recovered very quickly after topping and immediately started pushing two strong new main shoots. Compared to the other plants she remained the most vigorous one, while still maintaining a compact structure with healthy internodal spacing.🌿 The stem thickened noticeably and the side branches began catching up quickly. She continues to show strong and healthy growth, making her one of the easiest plants to manage so far. 💧 Feeding 1 L every ~3 days RO water + CalMag 1× Orgatrex 🌡️ Environment 25°C 60% RH ~450 PPFD Training This week I topped the plant for the first time. She handled it extremely well and showed almost no signs of stress. Within just a few days the two new main shoots were already growing vigorously, and the overall structure is shaping up exactly as planned.🚀🔥💚

CannaArchive This week was all about giving the plants more space to grow and preparing them for the final vegetative stage. 💚 After settling into their new environment, the Chicken n' Waffelz continued to recover well and produced plenty of healthy new growth. The biggest milestone this week was the transplant into their 20L final fabric pots. ? The soil was amended with Dynomyco Mycorrhizae, Startrex, 3 BioTabs, and Silicium Flash, creating a living organic environment for the roots to fully establish. I cleaned up the lower part of the plants by removing the lowest branches and fan leaves. This created a much cleaner structure while keeping a dense and even canopy on top. ✂️🌿 Because space became limited in the first tent, the Chicken n' Waffelz were moved into my second grow tent, where they are now growing under slightly different environmental conditions. They adapted without any issues and continued to develop vigorously throughout the week. Next week they'll have some time to establish their root system in the final pots before flowering begins. 🌸 🌡️ Environment Temperature: 25°C Relative Humidity: 55% Light Schedule: 18/6 PPFD: ~500 💧 Watering 1× Bio Enhancer 1× Orgatrex ?

CannaArchive This week was intentionally kept as a recovery period after last week's transplant. 🌱 Instead of introducing additional stress through training or heavy maintenance, I simply allowed Chicken n' Wafflez #2 to settle into her new container and focus on building a strong root system before the transition into flower. Looking back, the patience definitely paid off. 💚 The environment remained stable throughout the week with temperatures around 25°C and 60% relative humidity, while the light stayed at 600 PPFD. ☀️Under these conditions the plant responded very well, producing healthy, compact new growth and becoming noticeably fuller with each passing day. 🌿 Nutrient-wise, I kept things simple. She received RO water with CalMag throughout the week alongside one feeding of Orgatrex. 💧 Since the fresh substrate still contained plenty of nutrients, there was no reason to push her any harder. The steady growth confirmed that she had started establishing herself nicely in the new pot. 🌱 No training or defoliation was carried out during this week. ✂️ Instead, I wanted to give the plant enough time to fully recover before beginning flowering in Week 7. By the end of the week she had developed into a dense, bushy plant with multiple strong tops and a very symmetrical structure, making her an excellent candidate for the upcoming stretch. 🚀 The slight yellowing visible on some of the older leaves is still the remaining damage from the nutrient imbalance during the previous week and not a new issue. 🍃 Fortunately, the fresh growth looks much healthier, showing that the plant is recovering well and heading in the right direction. ✅ Overall, this was exactly the kind of week I was hoping for. 💪 Chicken n' Wafflez #2 recovered beautifully from the transplant, continued building a strong structure, and looked fully prepared to begin flowering in the following week. 🌸 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 60% 💡 Light: 40% (~600 PPFD) 🌱 Stage: Vegetative Week 6 Water & Nutrients 💧 RO Water + CalMag 🌱 1× Orgatrex Training 🌿 Recovery week after transplant ✂️ No training or defoliation performed

CannaArchive Chicken n' Wafflez #2 has officially entered the flowering stage! 🌸💚 The transition into bloom has been smooth, and during the first week she already started stretching nicely. 📈 Compared to some of my other plants, she remains much more compact while producing an impressive amount of side branches and future bud sites. 🌿 This phenotype has developed into a very bushy plant with a well-balanced structure. 🌱 Almost every branch has reached the canopy, creating what looks like the foundation for an even flower distribution. 🙌 The first pistils are now showing across the entire plant, confirming that flowering is fully underway. She also received her first Bio PK feeding this week to support the transition into bloom. 💚 Unfortunately, a heatwave made it impossible to improve the climate any further. 🌡️ Temperatures stayed around 28°C with 60% RH, but Chicken n' Wafflez handled these conditions surprisingly well without showing any serious signs of stress. 💪 Light intensity has now been increased to approximately 750 PPFD, giving her plenty of energy for the stretch while preparing for heavy flower production over the coming weeks. 💡 So far I'm extremely happy with this phenotype. 😍 She has a compact, vigorous structure with a lot of promising flowering sites.🌸 🌱 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 Humidity: 60% RH 💡 Light intensity: ~750 PPFD 🌸 First Bio PK feeding 📈 Healthy stretch 🌿 Dense canopy with many future bud sites 💚 Strong and vigorous growth Looking forward to seeing how much she'll stack during Flower Week 2! 😎🤞🌸

CannaArchive Chicken #2 continues to impress during the second week of flower. Despite the hot weather throughout the week, she remained healthy, vigorous, and showed no signs of slowing down. 🌱 Temperatures reached 28°C with humidity hovering around 60% RH, yet the plant handled these conditions without any noticeable stress. Stretch is progressing steadily, although she remains much more compact than some of the other plants in the tent. Compared to Nutter Budder, Chicken #2 has developed a bushier structure with tighter internodal spacing, creating a very even canopy with plenty of future flowering sites. The first pistils are now visible across the entire plant, and bud formation has officially begun. 🌸 Watering remained simple this week. She received reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag every 2-3 days, along with one feeding of BioTabs Orgatrex. Water uptake has remained consistent and the plant continues to respond very positively to the organic feeding schedule. 💧 Only a few fan leaves were removed to improve airflow and allow more light to reach the lower flowering sites. Defoliation was intentionally kept very light while the plant continues stretching. Overall, Chicken #2 is developing exactly as hoped. Healthy foliage, strong branching, excellent vigor, and a compact structure make her one of the most promising plants in the tent heading into the coming weeks. 🌱 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 28°C 💧 Humidity: 60% RH 🌸 Flower Week 2 🌱 1× BioTabs Orgatrex 💧 Watered every 3–4 days with RO water + CalMag 🍃 Very light defoliation 🌿 Healthy growth despite the heatwave 🌳 Compact, bushy structure with tight internodal spacing 🌸 Flower sites developing evenly across the canopy Chicken #2 is shaping up to be a very balanced plant.
