After germinating the seeds are transplanted into small pots with soil (see tutorial in VIDEO above). The soil is prepared with water mixed with a little bit of BIO NOVA Roots (0,5 ml/l), which aids the development of the seedling. Transplanting is very easy now, because they have grown a STRAIGHT tap-root while hanging during the SERIOUS' WAY of germination. This straight root allows for easy potting of the seeds. Simply make a little hole in the center of the soil with your pinky finger and carefully place the germinated seed with the white root pointing DOWNWARDS into the hole. Best is to lay it onto one side-wall of the hole with the seed shell right at the surface. Then I push the other side inwards and enclose the whole root with soil. At the end only the top of the seed-shell peeks out of the soil. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to plant the seeds NOT TO DEEP into the soil. The seedling only needs extra strength to work itself upwards thru the soil and you run the risk of the soil drying out and the seed dying off. When you PLANT THE SEED VERY SHALLOW into the soil (=with the top of the seed-shell still peeking out) your seedling can grow out right away and you have a small plant already 24 hours after putting the seed into the soil. The small seedling sometimes still has the seed-shell on its 'head', it normally falls off by itself, but sometimes you have to carefully help and take it off with your finger nails. Be careful to NOT clip of the seedling accidentally when you do this! The seed-shall has an inner lining, which feeds the small seedling when it germinates. This inner lining sometimes gets tangled around the stem of the small seedling after the shell has fallen off. This little skin MUST be taken off the stem right away! Once it dries up, it gets hard and can strangulate the seedling around the stem. In order to avoid this, the skin must be taken off as soon as possible! I show it in the pics above and also made a video about taking off the inner lining of the seed.

Day 22, 11th of October 2021: Helllooooo there. 1st day of the 4th week. Let's see how it goes.... we crazy... So: Mastodon Kush absolutely killing it.... just grow and grow another LST is performed. So one goes that way another one another way lol. Healthy and beautiful šŸ˜ RQS girls both of them do well Cookies Gelato amazing lady.... LST performed. And no complain also about Northern Light neither.... She also deserved an LST training. And finally Spliff Seed girls: Afghani Gold and Spliffs Strawberry are one week younger but they pickin' up quick so soon it can not be seen. Anyways all good yes they grew a lot. CBD Medi Kush is amazing I fimmed a bit by accident of the top "head" no problem at all and again continued with LST. She is a beast. Blue Berry seems to be a bit "pale" let's say light but apart from that she is more than okay. LST is done on her too... Afghani Gold I just love her chunky indica comin' I can see the leaves lol. She received her first LST as well. Spliffs Strawberry is alright as well so I am happy. Actually, not much has changed since last week I just set the lamp back to 125W so approx 40% of the max and the water intake is more a bit so: Lamp is set to be on 125W approx 40% of the full power..... Humidity stays on approx 60% Ventilation switches on in every 2 hours for 5 min.... Watering like 0.08l per day.... Fertilization also with Bat Guano, Biobizz family - BioGrow, BioBloom, TopMax... so these ones 2x a week.... Epsom salt.... 1x a week.... Ratio can be found above. That's all basically. So I wish you the best and very Happy Growing ;)

🌌 Cosmic Noodles Week 8 From Seed (Week 4 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) āø» How Did We Get Here? These girls have been on 12/12 from seed. No veg phase. No long structural preparation. No topping cycles. No extended shaping. They expressed themselves naturally — and we simply guided them. We are calling this Week 4 Flower based on visible floral development, even though biologically it’s Week 8 from seed. Two phenotypes. Two structural expressions. Two approaches. And this week… two very different stories. āø» šŸ‘‘ Plant #1 — ā€œThe Big Wallaā€ (No Test) She is exactly what a healthy plant should look like under pressure: • Deep, lush green • Aggressive bud stacking • Strong apical dominance but with lateral competition • Defoliation response? Like nothing happened. • In and out of the studio — no stress expression • Structural integrity intact She had light low-stress training, nothing extreme. Just guidance. You can see in the time-lapse frames how robust she is. She’s not surviving the environment. She’s thriving in it. This is our control plant. āø» Plant #2 — The Overwatering Test (Autoflower) Now the real talk. This plant was intentionally overwatered. She was left sitting in runoff water for approximately 36 hours. Immediate reaction. Within that window: • Drooping leaves • Loss of turgor pressure • Slowed metabolism • Oxygen deprivation at root zone • Visual stress expression This is what root hypoxia looks like. After 36 hours, we elevated her and drained everything. Now we’re seeing: • Necrotic leaf tissue • Some dead lower leaves • But… white pistils still pushing • Bud development continuing She’s stressed. But she’s not done. āø» 🌱 Why Overwatering Is Worse Than Underwatering Underwatering: • Roots search for moisture • Oxygen availability increases • Root mass expands • Enzymes help break down dead root matter • Temporary droop, usually reversible Overwatering: • Roots suffocate • Anaerobic conditions form • Microbial imbalance can develop • Nutrient uptake becomes impaired • Tissue death can occur Water fills pore spaces in soil. No air = no oxygen = no respiration. Roots breathe. When they can’t — the whole plant pays for it. And with an autoflower, recovery window is shorter. A photoperiod could be vegged longer to recover. An auto? Clock is ticking. āø» Environment — Playing on the Edge (But Controlled) Current room conditions: • Canopy Temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • COā‚‚: 1000+ ppm • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s On paper, 28°C + 70% RH sounds high. But here’s the key: Massive Airflow We have: • Strong horizontal airflow • Vertical movement • Air exchange • Under-canopy circulation Airflow changes everything. āø» šŸƒ Leaf VPD vs Room VPD Room VPD at 28°C / 70% RH is moderate-high humidity. But leaf temperature under strong light + airflow is often slightly higher than ambient. This increases transpiration. Add 1000+ ppm COā‚‚: • Stomata don’t need to open as wide • Photosynthesis rate increases • Plants tolerate higher humidity • Metabolic rate remains high This is why they’re thriving. We are pushing high PPFD — up to 1300 µmol in larger tops — but only where plant size can handle it. Smaller plants receive ~800 µmol. Light intensity is scaled to structure. āø» šŸ’” Lighting Strategy We are running: • Top lighting • Under-canopy lighting • End-of-day red (15 minutes) Let’s break this down. āø» šŸ”¦ Under-Canopy Lighting — Why? Purpose: • Illuminate lower bud sites • Reduce larf • Stimulate lower photosynthesis • Improve uniformity • Reduce shading stress We are not trying to replace top light. We are supplementing energy where dense canopy blocks photons. It also improves airflow around lower sites because buds stay active and not shaded/degrading. āø» šŸ”“ End-of-Day Red (15 Minutes After Lights Off) We run 15 minutes of red spectrum at lights-off. Why? Phytochrome manipulation. Plants have two main light-sensitive phytochrome states: • Pr (red-absorbing) • Pfr (far-red absorbing) Red light converts phytochrome into its active Pfr state. When lights go off, Pfr slowly converts back to Pr in darkness. By giving a short red pulse: • We influence phytochrome equilibrium • Potentially enhance flowering signaling • Encourage elongation control • Improve transition consistency It does not extend photoperiod. It manipulates light signaling. We are experimenting — not claiming magic. But we document everything. āø» 🌱 EC & Feeding Soil EC: 0.9 Feed EC: 2.4 This tells us: They are eating aggressively. If runoff EC stays stable and doesn’t climb, we maintain feed strength. High metabolic demand requires high input. But we monitor carefully. If soil EC begins rising? We adjust immediately. āø» Structural Differences Plant #1: • Slight LST • Strong lateral competition • Dense but controlled canopy Plant #2: • Some training • More natural expression • Slightly smoother, smaller phenotype Even genetics within the same strain express differently. And that’s the beauty of 12/12 from seed. You see who they truly are. āø» šŸ”® What This Week Represents This week is about: • Stress response • Root health • Environmental boundaries • Recovery observation • Real learning Not hype. Not perfection. Reality. āø» šŸ“… What to Expect Next Week For the Big Walla: • Continued stacking • Increased resin production • Structural thickening • Possibly slight nutrient demand increase For the Overwatered One: • Either: • Gradual recovery with reduced leaf mass • Or stalled development if root damage was severe We do not expect explosive rebound. We expect stabilization first. āø» ā¤ļø Gratitude To: • The OGs who’ve been here since day one • The new followers discovering the journey • The skeptics who keep us sharp • The haters who fuel consistency • Sponsors supporting experimentation • GrowDiaries platform • Discord family • Instagram community This is not a solo grow. This is shared documentation. āø» 🌌 Final Thought Nothing in nature is perfect. And that’s exactly why this works. This week proves it. One queen thriving. One queen struggling. Both teaching. Cosmic Noodles — Week 8. Let’s recover one. Let’s push the other. Let’s document everything.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. šŸ’š Growers love to all šŸ’š šŸ“ø P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

With the last heat wave, I had an answer to one of my questions, clearly my chiller is not doing the trick. I have water temperatures that went up to 27°, which is way too much, the plants deprived of oxygen, started to declare several deficiencies due to an assimilation slowed by the lack of oxygen. It is then that a nasty fungus came to say bijour, it is me MR pythium! It was necessary to act, at the risk of having to restart the culture. So I applied hydrogen peroxide and ROOT ROT X, and both products are doing harm to this nasty pythium, things are now back to normal. On the other hand, the plants had a decreased growth for 10 to 15 days, so I'm going to extend my growth for 10 to 20 days, that is to say 1 or 2 soups, I'll choose according to the root development of the plants. Before going to flowering, I have to catch up this delay in order to make a nice crop.

8/9 shes floweringšŸ’š pistils everywhere. Been feeding with open sesame from fox farms and everythings looking awesome. I am concerned about how lanky she is. Her node spacing is tight but shes long and the branches are already drooping from the weight from pistils and new leaves lol fml im gonna have to get stakes/supports soon 8/10 shes loving the weather or the nutes, shes praying so fucking hard its beautiful

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 daysšŸ™ ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more daysšŸ™šŸ˜Ÿ..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.šŸ‘Œ 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!šŸ‘ 1/19: Looks like the FIM job didn't take on one of them..but she's got perfect symmetry. WIll probably have to just top her again next week...gonna be a tall one I think. Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!šŸ‘ 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-

Week 9 - Day 63 - 26/11/19 Im so grateful to be a part of this community and to be at this milestone so to speak :) had an amazing time growing this plant, thanks to everyone who had a look or contributed to my diary! Harvest was fun but that little 16cm tall plant stunk my whole house out of cheese when i started trimming her :) Added a few photos and videos of the harvesting, i got a little ball of hash off the scissors which i smoked in a bong and it was nice! very hashy! its taken about 2 hours to finish trimming but ive stored all the trim in the freezer along with the dwarf trim from my last diary :) im making cannabutter and edibles this week. really excited for that. So i hung my drying rack outside the tent beside the passive intake. temps are between 20-22c in the room so it should dry fine and im hoping the passive intake will drag the smell in and keep it sort of fresh in the room :) This diary has got me excited for my Quick One plant as its much taller and has colas like arms :D. Il update in 3-7 days when buds are dried and then il be updating a lot throughout curing :) Day 65 - 28/11/19 Still drying these buds :) they look much smaller now, i smoked a small bud and although its much drier than harvest its still spongy/sticky and stretchy when breaking apart so 2-3 more days drying i think. Smell is wonderful especially if you get it on your hands, its like tropical fruit cheese and the effects of thc are not as pronounced with this strain but i felt very relaxed, no muscle pain etc and no paranoia or anxiety. i havent had a clear relaxed headspace before bed in a very long time. Any 1:1 THC/CBD is a must grow, give it a try if you havent already, i couldnt have picked a better starter medical plant as i love a good old cheese strain :) And i made some cannabutter out of the 59g of sugar leaves i got from this diary and my first diary. il have to upload a few pictures of the process later and let you all know if the cannabutter worked in my brownies :) Day 66 - 29/11/19 Started curing and added a photo to show :) buds were at 59-60% when left in the jar alone for a few hours so i threw in my boveda 58% pack and started burping 5-6 times per day :) i could have cured for a week before adding the boveda pack but i had barely any bud in the huge jar so i thought it would be wise to add the boveda to prevent mold and to keep it curing perfectly! Day 67 - 30/11/19 Posted a picture of a handful of buds :) i smoked a few in a bong and had a joint and it left me nice and medicated! no anxiety no paranoia nicely locked to the couch and sleepy. perfect nightime smoke as it wont trip you out or mess with your head, just a nice happy little mellow buzz! Flavour hasnt really came through yet, not sure what to expect as im a newbie but its slightly like cheese/flowery/herbs. Curing is definitely helping every day! the smell is getting better, buds are getting really smooth and they look amazing also! really excited for the next few weeks curing :) Final Update - Day 69 - 02/12/19 Finally here at the end of this diary and i have to say i loved growing this plant. it was a dark green colour throughout growing and took whatever i threw at it. Buds are nice and dry and curing well. i saved the best buds until last and added a couple of photos of them and a video also! they are covered in trichomes and feel great. Not much of a smell from the buds and it tastes like a sweet floral cheese mixture. Im pretty couchlocked from a bong of this strain so im gonna end this diary here and go relax but many thanks for following along folks and take a look at my other diaries if you get a chance :) Peace!

Day 57: Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water with nutrients. Day 58: Used super cropping (hope I'm saying that right) on the tallest branch to make the canopy more even. Day 59: I am not watering enough. Day 61: Sadness. I was attempting supercropping and snapped the stem of what I thought would become my largest cola. I have taped it but now feel I've topped my auto.
