Well, I reckon the girls have reached the end and it's time to chop. Trichomes are mostly milky (some amber), so now it's a matter of getting some free time and cut them down. Thanks to all those who follow me on this journey. It won't be long til I start a new experiment in Piquillo's Lil Lab. Of course I will updated before putting them in jars. Happy growing! 😉

This week I saw a pretty large gain in vegetation. At the moment I am unable to train the branches outward because I am out of space indoors, we are just under a month out from putting them outside for good; they have grown about 8.5 inches in height. I top dressed the medium with a 70/30 mix of Gaia greens all purpose 4-4-4 and power bloom 2-8-4 and continue to water with ancient earth every watering. It doesn’t seem to be in need of any cal mag so I have left it out of the watering schedule this week. I will continue time the light down every ten days by half hour to match the 16 hour day it will be when I bring them outside. So far I am very impressed by these ladies

Esta semana seguimos con la floración para dejarla solo 1 semana más en fase vegetativa 😃 Durante esta semana y la que viene empezaremos a reducir los nutrientes para que poco a poco vaya teniendo los alimentos de floración y haga su transcurso como debe. Por el momento tiene un sistema radicular muy solido con un gran tronco creado en estas 7 semanas 💪 Esperemos que siga con la misma fuerza que hasta ahora 😊

A mitad de camino, sigo notando un leve exceso de Nitrógeno por lo que bajo la dosis a 0,5 ML por Litro de BASE GROW como muestra la tabla de Fertilización. Ambas plantas son muy vigorosas y formaron una linda estructura ramificada, espero sean buenas productoras. Seria ideal conseguir 100 gramos secos entre las 2, en alrededor de 12 a 13 semanas. Yo siempre riego solo con agua las ultimas 2 semanas, pero en este caso la que esté lista primera para cosechar aplicare algún producto de lavado de raíces.

Growth is a little slower. This spring was much colder than the last few years. I hope they still have time to sprout.. Nice week.

Plants are looking good so far, added about 2ml/gal to the reservoir this week and plants responded well. They are all keeping short and stocky so far and should be able to start LST training in a few days I think. I also turned up the light to 750w and the air temps are now hovering between 24c-25c. Water temps are creeping up though in the 21c range, gonna wrap the buckets tonight in foil insulation and build a water cooler for this setup soon as well. Had some Ph issues during week 4 because my pen decided to go wonky. I tried to calibrate it again and had a hard time. So I busted out an older one and decided to calibrate it and see if it worked still... calibrated in a few min and sure enough res ph was well bellow 5. So water was changed as it was time anyway and ph’d proper just before lights out so we will see what happens tomorrow.

🌌 Cosmic Noodles Week 8 From Seed (Week 4 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) ⸻ 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. ⸻ 👑 Plant #1 — “The Big Walla” (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. ⸻ 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. ⸻ 🌱 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. ⸻ Environment — Playing on the Edge (But Controlled) Current room conditions: • Canopy Temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 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. ⸻ 🍃 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 CO₂: • 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. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are running: • Top lighting • Under-canopy lighting • End-of-day red (15 minutes) Let’s break this down. ⸻ 🔦 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. ⸻ 🔴 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. ⸻ 🌱 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. ⸻ 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. ⸻ 🔮 What This Week Represents This week is about: • Stress response • Root health • Environmental boundaries • Recovery observation • Real learning Not hype. Not perfection. Reality. ⸻ 📅 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. ⸻ ❤️ 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. ⸻ 🌌 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. 💚 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.

Algo mejor que volver de un viaje a la costa y encontrar solo avances buenos? Bueno como habrán adivinado nuestro dream team no decepciona y la calidad de las flores sube :)

No joke she is FAST! Once she got her roots in and I was able to not over water the seedlings this time, growth just blasted off! Just a little water here and there

19.04.24 BT#19 Servus ✌️ liebe Gemeinde Die Ladys entwickeln sich sehr gut 👍🏻 Die Lichtquelle ist jetzt ne Evo 4-80 1.5 mit BT Dimmer Entfernung zur Lampe 50cm eine Temperatur von 26° und ner RLF von 50%. Die White Widow hat sich richtig gestreckt ca. 200% und ihre Triebe sind fast alle auf einer höher bin irgendwann nicht mehr mit gekommen denke sie wird schöne Buds tagen. Die Bubblegum XL ihr Strecken hat sich in Grenzen gehalten aber wir auch was abwerfen🤩 Nährstoffe bekommen Sie wie gehabt alle 3 Tage immer im Wechsel = Wasser, 3 Tage nix dann Nährstoffe ,3 Tage nix ,Wasser und so weiter Dosierung Hesi Blüh Complex 6ml/L , Hesi Booster 2ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus steigenden von 0,2ml/L auf 3ml/L , Hesi SuperVit. Danke euch fürs vorbeischauen mögen all eure Lady's Gesund und brächtig Wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😋

I still have problems with high levels of humidity, usually around 65% during the night and 55% during the day, I ended up removing more leaves to try to reduce the amount of humidity in the air. I can see that the buds grew since last week, I was expecting the buds to be a bit bigger this week, but I'm happy with the current size, but I'm happy with the amount of trichomes present. DAY 96 PH - 5.93 Solution Temp - 19 PPM-2000 Watering Volume per plant - 4L DAY 103 - Water PH - 6 Solution Temp - 18 PPM-690 Watering Volume per plant - 4L

I had a look 👀 at the trichom it’s 90% cloudy, 5% amber and 5% transparent so as I’m looking for a sativa high for the daily smoke I chopped 2 of them and let 3 others getting more ambers 💪💪👊

A week with lots of activity from my side, from the Gorilla's side, not so much. She stays behind and I can't find any other reason than genetics/seed quality. She is in exactly the same conditions as the other girls. I'm letting her do her thing. She will give some weed, well see how much. Maybe she is a late-bloomer. She does look lush and healthy so we do not understand but are learning. I put in the scrog net since her roommates need it and lowered the lights and started giving more flowering feed. The light is still awesome, the amount it puts out. This SP- 3000 rocks and, wallet permitting, we will go for a second one. @MarsHydroLED might be so happy with the amount of coverage we give them, they'll send us another one 😏 If you haven't seen it yet and you are in the market for new gear, check out the Black Friday super sale on www.mars-hydro.com!! We are gonna see what happens coming weeks with this strain. So far I am a bit disappointed and didn't expect this from this strain. We will never know if it was the age of the seeds or something else. What I do know is, it was the last time I use a third party seedbank, it is apparently too hard to keep fresh stock with too many strains. Until breeders put a production date o the packaging. Isn't it time someone said that? Cause lets keep it real, we are talking seeds that in any other case would have a cost of production of fractions of cents per seed. We pay what? 3 to 5 to maybe even 20 dollars a seed for an exceptional strain? Is it then too much too ask to put a friggin expiry date on the package? Or store them cooled? The breeder that does that and arranges a deal with third-parties that overstock can be sent back, packaging recycled, in exchange for fresh stock. Like any other fresh trade. For an industry making what, a billion worldwide, it is remarkable how many are still in the stoner with a garage / 80's trailer park, backwater funfair warranty, kinda customer service. Me: i grow organic weed for 30 years, these seeds were old Seed dealer: Yes but you failed to do a raindance on the rising moon, no refund. Me: but its for cannabis? Weed industry: Yes why we charged you double! Me: wow no germination after paying 20 bucks for seeds? Industry: They are all stoners, they won't notice.... Me: but this bong is made from toxic plastics? Headshop: yeas but it has this crumbling image of a leaf, 20 dollar! Can they get their shit together? For god's sake, I've seen crack dealers with better PR and customer care. Someone do sumtin, take us out of the car boot era please?

Day #08 - The seedlings are going pretty well into week #02. This week FloraMicro will be added from General Hydroponics, I've started using this since my last growth. I use the hard water version and I really like it. My plants seem to do definitely better with this nutrient added, so I decided to always use this nutrient together with my other nutrients. I also decided to try the FloraGrow and FloraBloom nutrients from GHE, as I've seen very good results with the nutrient line of GHE. At the end I will also use their Ripen, which gives the plants growth boost in their buds at the end of the blooming phase. Day #09 - I decided to give the ladies a little more water, so I raised the water amount to 0.25 liters per day. Further on, everything is going very well! Day #11 - The little ladies are going ver, very well if you ask me... Growing like a charm, at the end of the week I must be able to top them without any problem. Day #14 - I wanted to top the girls, but I decided no to do that, as not all the plants have reached the right height. So topping is postponed until tomorrow.

Harvested the Clones! I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner! With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on.. It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.

I've cut down on grow at this point as the soil seems to have a lot. I'll feed for another week then think about Flushing. The kalimist will keep getting fed bloom and grow as its only been flowering for about 3 weeks due to taking longer to force flower.

look like streching has started significantly..
