Day 28 I’ve been training the girls branches this week and they are filling out nicely.Watered with recharge and ph 6.5 they still are not drinking heavy but watering when pots are dry.I increased the light intensity to 50 percent power and they are taking it well.Ive noticed signs of flower development so i will top dress with 50/50 Gaia green power bloom/gaia green 4,4,4 and water with recharge.

Grow Report — Week 6 From Seed (12/12 From Seed · Early Flower / Week 2 Flowering Transition) Quick Recap (for new joiners) This is a 12/12-from-seed run, now entering Week 6 from seed, which we can comfortably call early flower / second week of flowering transition — though we don’t obsess over labels. We follow the plants, not the calendar. Two plants, two approaches: • Plant A: Metal clips + harder structural training, with a short 18/6 period earlier on, plus LST • Plant B: Pure 12/12 from seed, gentle LST and leaf positioning only Both plants are now fully in flower mode, no doubt about it, just expressing it differently, which is expected and welcomed. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28°C (successfully raised) • Humidity: ~65% Even though it’s still a bit cold outside, increasing plant mass, higher lighting intensity, and added under-canopy lighting have turned the tent itself into a stronger and more stable heat source. This allowed us to stabilize conditions naturally, without forcing anything — exactly how we like it. Lighting & Atmosphere • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on plant size and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm Airflow • Unchanged and dialed in • Vortex extraction • Cross-winds with multiple fans • Constant, gentle movement across the canopy The goal remains the same: fresh air, no stress, no stagnation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks an important and intentional nutritional transition. • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 From this point forward, all feedings will be pH 6.0 and above. Why? As flowering progresses, nutrient uptake priorities shift. A slightly higher pH improves the availability of key elements needed for bloom development, and the plants are clearly asking for it. Nutrient Change • Introduced: Terra Bloom — 5 ml/L • Removed: Terra Grow This switch is happening now, not earlier, because the plants have clearly entered the flowering transition. No rush, no shock — just listening to plant signals and responding accordingly. The current Plagron-based approach continues to perform exceptionally well, and plant response has been outstanding so far. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Behavior & Training Notes Both girls are looking amazing, each in their own way. • The metal-clip + harder-trained plant looks structured, composed, and confident • The pure LST plant is expressive, vigorous, and stretching beautifully The plant that experienced a short 18/6 period is currently smaller, noticeably so — which is interesting and worth observing. Not better, not worse — just different. Different light histories, different training styles, different expressions. This is exactly why side-by-side approaches are so valuable. Both plants are: • Healthy • Actively flowering • Responding positively to the environment and nutrition Plant A — Canopy Management Note This was also the week where a light, selective defoliation was performed on Plant A to open the canopy slightly and improve light penetration. She is clearly more advanced in flower development, visually closer to what would normally be considered around day 21 of flowering, and the timing felt right. Only larger, blocking leaves were removed — no stripping, no stress — just enough to: • Improve airflow • Expose developing flower sites • Support her more advanced flowering pace The plant responded calmly and confidently, confirming that the intervention was well-timed and appropriate. They’ve also been in and out of the studio for photos — and they handled it like champions. The in/out space continues to work perfectly. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) What to expect: • Continued flower set and structural definition • Stretch management through positioning, not force • Gradual increase in flower density as nutrition settles in What NOT to expect: • No aggressive defoliation • No forced stress techniques • No chasing numbers just for the sake of it This run is about clarity, observation, and respect for plant rhythm. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words A big thank you to: • New joiners discovering this run • Old souls following along quietly • The curious, the critical, the lovers, the haters • Sponsors, supporters, and the wider community Every set of eyes matters. Every perspective adds value. More updates soon — this was Update 1, and we’ll be back after more time with the girls.

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.

First time grower, criticism will be well recieved😀 Two plant ebb and flow setup in a 3x3 as a test run Top feeding until I can afford the rest of my setup🙄 Started seed in water balanced to 6.0 Sat. Feb. 29th Tap roots within 12 hours, directly into pre soaked rockwool cubes. Broke the surface march 3rd. Began 1/4 strength micro, grow, bloom and stress relief Using very hard water for the next couple days, roughly 450 PM out of the tap. Ro system to be installed march 6th Ro system now installed. Start of week 1 will be Saturday the 7th of March. Day 2: Turned the light down to roughly 50%, instead of raising it, due to the fear of light burn. Will look into it soon. Plants seem to have recovered after I decreased the light intensity. Fan and filter purchased. Alternating flush and feed cycles 12 hours apart to keep salt sats down. Day 3: Bumped light intensity back up to roughly 75% of the ts1000's capability or 700 "light units" from a cheapy 3way meter. Adding as much co2 as I can through baking soda and dilute phosphoric acid. Day 4: Exhaust fan with climate control installed March 10th Day 5: Girls exploded now that I have my salt build up figured out . Day 6: Light back up to 100% Day 7:little droopy on the one plant, gonna let them dry out a day Setup should be complete for start of week 2.(actually sick right now and having trouble getting supplies) Still need a flood table setup.

Day 49 - Still giving the ladies just PH water with no nutrients trying to see if I can fix whatever is wrong with them😅 All in all the White Widow & Orange Sherbet plants I took individual pictures of are growing great & should have a pretty nice yield! Thank you for following & make sure to check back for daily updates! Happy growing friends!🌱✌️🏼

This girl looks waaaaay better than the last blue toof I grew. Gave her a tea yesterday and she is loving life. Decided not to top her so I'm hoping she produces a little bit of weight.

8/23 shes smelling so much like blueberries💚 im super concerned with the amount of leaves my plants are cannibalizing/ losing. They've been turning yellow and then eventually golden brownish crisp and fall off. The leaves that are falling off, only seem to be fan leaves and all the leaves around the pistils/main parts of branches/plant, all seem to be intact and very healthy still. I hope she's able to stay healthy till the finish of the grow. First outdoor grow. Learning experience 💚🤘I should have added some fish meal in the middle of July so she had some nitrogen for the beginning of flowering. I'm concerned the leaves lost is due to nitrogen deficiency. But I'm 3 weeks into flower and dont want to confuse her with more nitrogen than I have been giving 8/24 fed some more open sesame. 8/28 thinking my plants have been having a ph lock out causing magnesium deficiency

I did have a little problem with the nutrient feed on the biscotti, I couldn’t figure out what was the problem is. Let me add some calmag and see if that’s it

( 4cm in height ) Stress trained this lady 3 days ago because she was getting too long and slinky so I decided to help hear out and give some support. Very good growth development thus far and grows exactly like a Do-Si-Wine should. Growing strong at 3 nodes already. ( 4.5cm in height ) This lady is growing at her own pace. At this moment I’m waiting patiently until this lady catches some speed because she has been slowed down the leaf development has been disoriented The 2nd node is a 3-fanned leaf and the other side is just a 2-fanned leaf so growth is weird and a bit slow. The 3rd node developing looks like it both going to be 3-fanned leaves so I hope when that is properly developed this lady will growing nicely

Hi Growers. Day 21 Flower So this week I decided to defoliate as they are super leafy. I took that pile from each plant. I also took off any branches that I thought would be under the trellis. It’s being pushed up so it’s hard to tell. They are pretty happy regardless. The leaves I left are already quite big after 3 days. I did 2 hydrogen peroxide flushes around the defoliation to combat any possible pests and nutes weren’t gonna help in a slightly stressed state and they won’t hate some extra oxygen to the roots. I let them dry for 3 days and fed today. The Vipar Spectra XS2000 is growing these plants nicely, heating the tent a prefect amount. It’s so powerful in my 2x4, I’d love to see it in a 3x3. They’re happy with it up at 22-24” until I know they’ve stopped stretching. Pretty easy week. Just trying to keep them happy and growing big. Happy Growing 🌱

11/10 - empezo su quinta semana de floración. Se encuentra perfecta, su olor es muy fuerte y esta muy resinosa. No tuve ningún problema hasta el momento. Su evolución fue muy rapida en comparación a otras geneticas que cultive. Aprox le faltaría un mes mas para ya poder podarla, los pistillos se encientran muy blancos por el momento.
