Week 5 of flower and seed production for all these plants has started in earnest. We cleaned up the tent somewhat and took down all the males after having done their job. Alls left is to wait for finish now. The nute deficiency appears to have corrected itself now that we’ve balanced out the ratios a little more. The WPM is no match for the sodium bicarbonate but still gonna have to keep on top of that to the end of the grow. Full fumigation of the grow spaces will be required - multi-day process I am not looking forward to. Time cleaning is time not growing, sadly. We’re coasting to the finish now but should still have some decent updates on our super secret seed harvesting method once they’ve fully matured😉👍. Hope everyone’s well and grow’n that straight 🔥. Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

GMO Cookies — Week 11 (Flower) “Served with Extra Curiosity” This week wasn’t about doing more. It was about seeing more. And sometimes… that changes everything. ⸻ 🔬 Photo Stacking — What it is & why now This update goes deeper than usual. We explored focus stacking (photo stacking) — a technique where multiple images, each focused at a different depth, are merged into one ultra-detailed image. * 20–25 frames → standard macro depth * 80–100+ → high detail * 200+ frames → extreme resolution, full structure visibility Why now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Structure is set ➡️ Growth slows down ➡️ Detail becomes everything There’s less to do… and more to observe, understand, and appreciate. We’re no longer just growing. We’re studying. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How did we get here 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Plants shaped themselves under flowering conditions from day one. What we see now is the result of: * Early root establishment * Stable environment * Consistent feeding * Minimal interference No chasing. No forcing. Just letting the plant express. ⸻ 🌿 The Room — Stability over control Conditions remain intentionally consistent: * Temp: ~26°C day / 18°C night * RH: ~60% * pH: ~6.5 * EC: ~2.0 * CO₂: ~1000 ppm Everything is guided by plant feedback (leaf EPD) — not by rigid charts. At this stage, stability matters more than perfection. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition — Supporting, not pushing Current feeding: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro Balanced, consistent, predictable. We’re not trying to “boost” anymore — we’re maintaining the conditions for proper finishing. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes — The real story This is where the stacking work pays off. With the naked eye, we see frost. With macro stacking, we see architecture. * Trichome heads forming and swelling * Density across sugar leaves and calyxes * Early signs of maturity variation within the same bud Not all trichomes develop at the same speed — and now we can actually see that clearly. This is where observation becomes knowledge. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development & Stacking The plants are doing exactly what they should now: * Vertical growth has stopped * Bud stacking continues steadily * Density increasing day by day No explosive changes — just refinement and consolidation. This is the quiet phase… but it’s one of the most important ones. ⸻ 🎥 Studio Work & Branch Sacrifice We took a branch to the studio for detailed work. Was it a sacrifice? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. That branch gave us: * High-level macro insight * Controlled lighting shots * Focus-stacked visuals that reveal what’s usually hidden Sometimes, giving a little… gives a lot back. ⸻ 🧠 Why macro now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Doing less = doing more ➡️ Interference can do more harm than good ➡️ Observation becomes the main tool Macro photography allows us to: * Study ripening progression * Understand resin development * Train the eye for future harvest timing It’s not just content. It’s education. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued trichome swelling * Increased bud density * More visible ripening signals (pistil changes, trichome shifts) * Subtle but important daily progress We’re entering the decision-making window soon. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No more vertical growth * No drastic structural changes * No need for heavy intervention At this point, less input = better outcome. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone walking this journey with us: * The OGs who’ve been here since day one * The new eyes just discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent supporters * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind these expressions And the plants themselves… This week wasn’t about growing bigger. It was about seeing deeper.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 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.

Increased the feeding I've been measuring with the cap so it's 2capfuls each of the trio pack. Buds starting to get nice developing frost and sugar leaves can easily be seen. Since the start of the grow I've started I had 4 plants but down to 2 which have been coming along fine. Can't wait to see what these ladies taste like 😋

- I didn't weight wet buds. - The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest on buds all over the plants. - The hash balls were : a little less than 1cm diameter for the Mandarin Punch#1 and around 3mm diameter for the Mandarin Punch#2 - Drying was made at 20°C and around 50% of humidity. - Humidity in jar around 50% on the first day, temperature around 20°C. MANDARIN PUNCH #1 Veg time : 44 days. Flowering time : 70 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 114 days. Height : 142cm Pot size : 26l Harvest : 61g MANDARIN PUNCH #2 Veg time : 45 days. Flowering time : 67 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 112 days. Height : 123cm Pot size : 10l Harvest : 41g

Day 9. All is running very nice. Happy with light performace a lot. Girls missed wind a bit, but i cant make it faster, because of neighbours and sound, so i took humidity dome away. TSL2000 runs 40 cm away and on 40% output. Girls get daily shower , try to keep some wet cloth to maintain humidity. Day 12. Thats the happy f@cker in video ;)))) Happy Growing !!!

D33 - 19/02 Haven’t changed the reservoir this week yet. A few burnt tips on Northern Lights #2, will probably go a little lighter on nutes next feed - she’s definitely more sensitive to them than the other ones. Overall great looking girls and nice growth. The #2’s are higher than the #1’s, nodes developing nicely and the scrog is definitely helping with lateral growth as well. — D35 Mixed a new reservoir with roughly 19L, at around 70% strength. pH 6.0 and EC 1.1 Humidity has risen a bit, so I installed the dehumidifier again. Apparently the tip burning has stopped, or at least slowed, which is good. #1’s are at around 25cm height, while #2’s are around 40cm height. — D36 Did another defoliation session as the girls really needed it. Cleaned a lot of the big fan leaves, airflow and light penetration is way better now. A few hours after and they’re super happy again.

Day 63 Flower Well we’re coming to the end of the grow cycle. These plants are looking great. They’re starting to get a bit of purpling on the leaves and trichomes are clouding up. I flushed with 7 gallons of plain water with typhoon cleanse. It’s stripped about 300 ppm per gallon, got my runoff down to 110, and probably do an RO flush if I need to push it longer. I am very happy with the stank, quality, density and trichome coverage on these buds. The smell is a ripe sweet lemon with and earthy hazy musk. Could use more lemon but I’m not going to complain. My house is rank and can be smelled outside even with the carbon filter going 24/7. I’m super excited to see how the effect is on this strain. It’s one of my all time favorites and I’m pumped that it has turned out to be quality!!! Happy Growing 🌱
