I'm excited for this one, really skunky smell and lovely buds. Hey growth was right on point with a auto and having her under 24 hours if light a day really fattened up her flowers. She grew with zero stretch between nodes and stacked nothing but nice colas. I would definitely recommend this strain for anyone looking for a fast turnaround of fat resinous buds. Cheers.

The wedding cake is going into full flower this week. She is beginning to show trichomes and is smelling nice, not too loud...but definitely an earthy noticeable scent that eases into the entire room after i open the tent. Candles alone are helping with that, although the smell is removed once in the tent. She is smashed up on the sides because she is sharing a tent with 2 other autos and they are all big bushy phenotypes. The wedding cakes is the youngest in flower between the 3; yet she is maturing the fastest and will obviously be harvested first. Absolutely no deficiencies and everyday she is swelling a bit. It is truely a pleasure to watch.

Broke a branch this week pretty upset about it was a large branch. Other than that everything is going well slight deficiencies here and there just gotta watch and correct them. We should jump into flower here in 3-5 weeks i will do my final trims in roughly 2 weeks 🤙🏻

This was my first time growing a photoperiod and I decided to put her outside along with some autoflowers this past summer. I started Purple Shot Photoperiod Fem. from Exotic Seeds in a one liter air pot and moved her into a 5 gallon phat sack on day 14 when she was 2.5 inches tall.🌱🌱🌱 By the start of week three she was 6.5 inches tall and looking quite happy in her new five gallon home. A short while later she was moved outside to adjust to her new environment.☀️☀️☀️☀️ By day 35 she was 16.5 inches tall and developing a nice bushy structure. She started to flower towards the end of week 10 By week thirteen it was evident this girl was going to be making some nice tight lil nuggets 😁 By week fourteen I could hardly take my eyes off of her as she started to show her fall colors. I harvested her on day 130 18wk 4d She was 43" tall and looking pretty as can be. Her nuggets are not large but they are hard as rocks and sticky as fuck. The original plan was to turn all the outside plants into hash but I like this one too much just the way she is 😋 After a nine day dry and month and a half to cure the dry weight for this girl was 78.50g / 2.80 oz ✌️😎💨

Here is the update for actual week. The summer hits very hard - since almost 10 days in a row, we have 30°C outside and it was the right decision to set the day phase from 6pm to 6am. cutted down most of the fanleafes today. all trichomes turned opaque so i will start with the first "clear-water-flush" in 2 days and will flush them 4 times on any 3rd day!

5/11 - 5/17: I have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.👌 I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. All her topped shoots are growing out now. I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #7. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...👈 This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. 👍 I found a waterproof 200w 3000k light that has two panels that can be independently aimed in different directions. It covers a 3' x 4' area very well. It gets hot as hell, but..it's outdoors, so.... All total, that's 470w watts in 24 sq ft that i'm supplementing with. I've got very vigorous growth, so it seems to be doing the trick,

There’s microscopic bugs crawling on my buds! Going to post a grow question about them. No more nutrients, she’s definitely getting close, so let’s use plain water and hope for the best in the next week or two.

Yet another Quebec Cannabis Seeds cultivar that exceeds all my expectations This strain is gorgeous & extremely potent. The dry stage took about 9 days... which is a little bit quicker than I'm used to, but everything turned out well. I'm very happy with this strain and I would recommend it to everyone In under 100 days I managed to get just over 28 oz off of four plants. I think the gaseous CO2 is directly responsible for this and I will be using it for every grow going forward.

Soweit so gut. Die Blüte neigt sich langsam aber sicher dem Ende bzw geht in die letzte Phase, ein paar Wochen brauchen die Ladies aber noch. Hinten rechts scheint von Anfang an schneller und dementsprechend auch eventuell eher fertig zu sein, mal schauen wie sich das entwickelt. Die Ladies werden etwas "rostig" aber ich denke das ist in dem Stadium kein Problem bzw einfach der Zahn der Zeit, der an ihnen nagt. Der Geruch wird stärker und die Spannung steigt 🙏🏻💚

Still giving me a little stretch this week which is fine because there’s still some room. I initially thought they were going to get a bit taller or I might have waited another few days. Either way there’s a TON of cola sites and I’ve selectively removed a few fan leaves blocking them. I turned up the HLG 550v2 to about 90% power and switched the nutes to a higher phosphorus and less nitrogen base. All In all everything is on track.

Toca cambiar las lamparas que hemos estado utilizando durante el periodo vegetativo, con un espectro lumínico más azul (entre 5000ºK y 6500ºK), por unas mixtas de 2500ºK. Más adelante las cambiaremos por las definitivas 2000ºK. Es importante decir que realizar fotos o videos bajos lamparas de floración, no ofrece un buen resultado... Así que a partir de este momento voy a utilizar un filtro corrector en las imágenes que muestro. Sigo regando cada tres días, alternando entre agua+Bio Rhizotonic+Bio Vega y riegos solo con agua. Llevo un diario de cultivo en una libreta y los principales cambios en una pizarra.

This week was a little rocky. Two girls on the outer edges are good, but the middle one is drooping and foxtailing already. It's weird because my middle plant was larfy last run as well. I might push her to the corner and let her do her thing with less attention... because I just got a photoperiod runtz clone that's gonna need some space and perhaps its own light. LST seems to be going well for the other two though. Sometimes with autos, it's just a genetic thing. They can be temperamental girls sometimes.

. Vorwort: Die Pflanzen zeigen deutliche Mängel, was zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt erwartet wurde. Seit heute gibt es nur noch Wasser und natürlich PH reguliert, ca. 4-5 Liter, ohne Dünger. Weitere Mängel in den kommenden Tagen sind eingeplant und kein Grund zur Sorge. Die Ernte ist für nächsten Montag oder etwas später vorgesehen. 🌿 Woche 8 - Reifephase, Substanz vor Optik Ich, Banana Purple Punch, stehe am Ziel. Meine Blüten sind schwer und dicht, meine Energie ist vollständig in sie geflossen. Die Blätter lassen nach, Farben verblassen, aber das gehört dazu. Mein Duft ist voll entwickelt, süß und tief. Ich brauche nichts mehr außer Zeit. 🍌 Ich, Purple Haze, bleibe konstant bis zum Ende. Meine Struktur ist stabil, meine Blüten reifen gleichmäßig weiter. Die Mängel zeigen sich ruhig und kontrolliert. Mein Duft ist klar, würzig und präsent. Kein Drama, kein Einbruch. Wir beiden Lemon Cherry Cookies nähern uns auf unterschiedliche Weise dem Abschluss. Ich, die Schnellere, zeige deutliches Finish-Verhalten. Die Buds sind kompakt, die Mängel nehmen zu, die Energie geht sichtbar zurück. Mein Duft ist intensiv, süß-sauer und deutlich ausgeprägt. 🍋🍒 Und ich, die Ruhige, bleibe gelassen. Meine Entwicklung ist weiterhin gleichmäßig. Mängel sind vorhanden, aber ohne Stress. Ich nehme mir die Zeit, die ich brauche. Woche 8 fühlt sich nach Loslassen an. Kein Nachjustieren mehr, kein Eingreifen. Wasser, Licht und Geduld. Die Pflanzen bauen ab, um abzuschließen. Genau so ist es gedacht.

🌱 Week 7 From Seed | 12/12 From Germination Transition Phase — Early Flower (Week 1) 📌 Quick Context (For New Readers) These plants have been grown 12/12 from seed from day one. Because of this light schedule, development timelines do not match traditional veg/flower calendars. Although we are technically at Week 7 from seed, the plants are now entering what we consider Early Flower (Week 1). Pre-flower signs are present but still subtle, which is completely normal for this method, especially with training involved. Think of this as: Week 7 from seed ≈ Week 5 in overall physiological development ⸻ 🌿 Overall Plant Status All plants are healthy, vigorous, and responding extremely well to training. • Strong lateral growth • Very bushy structure • Tight internodes • No major deficiencies or stress responses The genetics are clearly expressing well under this method and environment. ⸻ 🧠 Training Update & Learning Moment This week involved low-stress training using plastic clamps and this was my first time. • Most plants responded beautifully • However, one branch was left clamped slightly too long, resulting in a partial break Recovery Action • White tape was applied immediately • The branch is stable • Early pre-flower signs are still visible on that plant 👉 Based on experience and current visuals, full recovery is expected. For comparison: • Another plant is trained using metal clamps, shown in the last photo • This plant is more delayed and not yet showing flower signs This contrast clearly shows how training intensity and timing can influence flowering onset under 12/12 from seed. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions Despite very cold temperatures outside, the room has been stabilized well: • Temperature: 27.5°C • Relative Humidity: 65.4% • CO₂: ~909 ppm Humidity is slightly higher than ideal for flower, but plants are thriving and showing no negative responses. ⸻ 💧 Root Zone & Nutrition Adjustments were made this week to prepare the plants for flowering demand. • EC: Increased to 2.4 • Water Temperature: ~21°C (70°F) • pH: Raised to 6.5 🔬 Why the pH Change? This was a deliberate, science-based decision, not guesswork. As plants transition into flower, a slightly higher pH: • Improves availability of Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus • Supports early flower initiation • Helps the plant shift metabolic focus From here: • pH will be cycled between 6.0 → 6.5 • Always kept above 6.0 • Adjusted based on plant feedback Until now, pH ranged around 5.8–6.0, which favored vegetative uptake. This marks the nutritional transition into flower physiology. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update • PPFD Range: ~600–800 µmol/m²/s • Taller plants receive closer to 800–850 • Smaller plants around 600–700 • Top Lights: 100% • Under-Canopy Lighting: ~40–45% and increasing gradually The goal is to let plants adapt to photons coming from all directions, promoting: • Stronger lower growth • Better canopy balance • Reduced larf later in flower ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Next 1–2 weeks: • Clear flower initiation on most plants • Stretch phase beginning • Increased nutrient demand • Continued canopy management (tucking & bending only) What NOT to expect yet: • No heavy defoliation • No aggressive stress training • No rushing the transition The harder training plant will be given more time — no forcing. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thanks to everyone following along — newcomers, supporters, critics, and sponsors alike. This run is about learning, transparency, and showing what 12/12 from seed really looks like when done patiently and intentionally. More updates soon 🌱 As always — observations welcome.

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.

- Total days above ground: 35 Lazy update this week. Procrastination mode is on. No individual plant photos this week. I don't even have a plant map, So, I'm not sure what each plant is by location at this moment. I need to do some canopy management tonight, but fuck it. I'll put it off until tomorrow because I like to self-sabotage. They'll get a little less time to recover than normal heading into flower. They are healthy and happy, so I doubt there will be any repercussions. Second humidifier is still tied up in the drying area, so VPD continues to be less-than-ideal. By the time I flip to flower, the climate will be in a much better place. I'll have to cut some corners and get a little creative to mitigate the effects of a suboptimal vege phase. Things will turn out fine, but inevitably fall a bit short of expectations. I'll selectively prune lower axilla and top tomorrow but leave a couple opportunities for cuttings. Hopefully, there's enough growth for a proper clone by flip to flower (day 40). A second breeding cycle may or may not happen.
