04.08. Runtz# Day 64# Day Flowering 47# The plants are nearing the end, 5 days ago I started to give them a "flawless finish" and if some people needed another 2+ weeks at that point according to what the microscope says, the leaves and the very form of the flowers, but the humidity is high, the rains are frequent lately and the conditions for mold are ideal, so I will not risk it and they are this small, and the caterpillars have also started to be annoying... However, the situation has changed... half of the plants were almost at full strength, but with the fact that a week ago I gave it overdrive because I planned to give it another two weeks and then give it only clean water for a week or two, it prolonged their flowering, that's what I concluded, a bunch of new transparent trichomes appeared on the flowers and now they need two more weeks at the moment, and I already started with "flawless finish" 4-5 days ago, but well, I'll continue like that when when they are ripe, I pick them unless mold appears or caterpillars attack... 3 or 4 plants will be through a week to a maximum of 10 days ripe (the way I like it) for picking, the rest in two weeks (as I said before, if no caterpillars or mold attack)… Yesterday was the end of their ninth week. Rutnz 1# picture no. 29# harvested,trimmed and left to dry on 31.07. it is still drying. This dwarf had only one big bud along the whole plant, and I expected something like this, especially because it was in grass that is bigger than it, and the humidity has been really high lately... mostly, the mold started and some spiders also ruined it a lot, I must have thrown away a third of the flowers... I had to cut the plant into heads so that I could see all the infected ones and remove them. Runtz 2# picture no.30# and these two videos Harvester,trimmed and left to dry 02.08. This plant also started to mold, the whole two heads that were below, immediately up to the main bud, they started to mold (the empty space between the main head and the lower heads where the stem can be seen), and later, after picking, I inspected the plant in more detail and found something else small all the way down... everything that was even a little bit infected was removed (if a head was slightly infected, the whole head was removed, not just the infected part) I lost a bit here less than a quarter of the flowers, approx. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

🐺 Week 4 Veg — The Legends of the Frozen North 12/12 from seed 📌 Disclaimer / Timeline clarification Before we begin, a quick note for transparency: Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me. It’s fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, I’ll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this week’s genetics shots and videos as intended. Thank you for the understanding — clarity and honesty always come first here 🙏 Quick recap (for anyone joining us now) We’re in Week 4 of vegetative growth, steady and intentional. No stress events, no corrections, no forcing. This phase has been about establishing structure, roots, and rhythm — letting the plants find their footing before the real acceleration begins. So far, everything has been calm, balanced, and exactly where it should be. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions & Environment • Temperature: 25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: 60% • VPD: Right in the comfort zone for mid-veg • Airflow: Stable and consistent This environment supports: • steady metabolic activity • healthy transpiration • deep green leaf development No swings, no drama — just a room doing its job. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy (Week 4) • LED intensity: 90% • Lighting position: Top lighting only • Under-canopy lighting: Not active yet (planned for flower) The plants are growing into the light, not being pushed by it. That’s an important distinction. We’re not chasing numbers — we’re observing response. To stay informed, we’re using a TrolMaster PAR sensor, walking the tent and checking PPFD across the canopy. Nothing is adjusted — this is purely situational awareness. Knowing where you stand matters, even when you choose not to intervene. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Program (Current Feed) The nutrition is intentionally simple, complete, and supportive: • Plagron Terra Grow — base nutrition for vegetative development • Power Roots — root mass, lateral branching, early resilience • Pure Zym — enzyme support, cleaner rhizosphere • Sugar Royal — gentle metabolic & microbial support • Vita Race — foliar vitality and micronutrient support Nothing excessive. Nothing missing. The plants are responding with lush green color, clean leaf posture, and uniform growth. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Observations • Color: deep, healthy green • Leaves: flat, relaxed, expressive • Growth rate: slow and steady — as expected • Structure: building quietly There’s honestly not much to “fix” this week — and that’s a good sign. Week 4 veg is often deceptive: things look calm on the surface, while roots and internal systems are stacking potential underneath. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Expect: • a noticeable growth acceleration soon • tighter node stacking • increased appetite as roots fully establish Don’t expect: • explosive stretch yet • dramatic visual changes this week • the need for major adjustments The “takeoff” is coming — not because we force it, but because this groundwork allows it. To the moon is just an expression 😉 — but the momentum is real. ⸻ Closing Notes Week 4 veg is about patience, trust, and restraint. The legends of the frozen north weren’t written in haste — and neither are strong plants. Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

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.

Week 3 VEG – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Expanding the Canopy, Building the Ecosystem Week 3 VEG has arrived, and our Roller Coster Haze girls are thriving. They’re growing with intensity, branching fast, stretching out beautifully, and responding with vibrant color and leaf development. This week, we stepped outside the tent for a special photo session to capture their structure, symmetry, and power. Both phenos are showing great promise. But this update isn’t just about how the plants are growing — it’s about how we’re growing them. This week we shine the light on the ecosystem behind the leaves — the environment, the gear, and the design that make it all possible. ⸻ Light Systems – Future of Grow & ThinkGrow We are currently growing under two powerful LED systems in a shared 8x8 room: • Future of Grow: Highly efficient, full-spectrum lighting technology providing excellent canopy penetration. • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs: Tuned for precision horticulture, great thermal management, and superior spread, recently integrated into the setup. Both light systems are now active, operating in two separate environmental zones within the same space, but synchronized and managed through one master control hub. ⸻ Environmental Intelligence – TrolMaster Ecosystem All environmental conditions are being automated and fine-tuned using the TrolMaster Tent-X Control System, including: • CO₂ Sensors – Monitoring levels and ensuring optimal enrichment. • Temperature & Humidity Sensors – Providing real-time data for environmental balance. • PPFD Sensor – Ensuring precise light intensity distribution across both zones. • Device Integration – Exhaust fans, intake fans, humidification and lighting systems all run through this single ecosystem. The system gives us a responsive, dynamic grow space that adjusts in real time to keep conditions perfect. ⸻ Airflow & Filtration – Keeping It Clean and Controlled Air exchange is critical, and we’ve built a dual-exhaust, filtered system to keep the space fresh and odor-free: • Exhaust System: • Two 6-inch carbon-filtered exhaust lines. • Spider Farmer extraction fan (controlled via Spider Farmer GGS controller). • AeroFan (connected to TrolMaster Tent-X controller). • Intake System: • One 6-inch filtered intake, bringing in fresh, conditioned air. This ensures both negative pressure and proper circulation at all times. Clean air in, filtered air out, silently and efficiently. ⸻ Feeding Schedule – Aptus Micro-Nutrition, Targeted & Precise This week, we maintained a light but effective nutrient profile using Aptus Holland products, aimed at promoting root structure, nutrient uptake, and resistance: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L – cellular strength and stress reduction. • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L – structural support and calcium-magnesium balance. • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L – balanced NPK and trace minerals. • Start Booster – 0.2 ml/L – supporting root expansion and microbial activity. This blend is helping the girls keep pace with their rapid vegetative expansion without overwhelming them. We’re not pushing for speed, we’re feeding for structure. ⸻ Looking Ahead We’ll be making our final decisions next week, based on structure, root readiness, and overall health. From there, final stretch of veg before flower. We’re not rushing — we’re watching. Letting them show us who they are. ⸻ Final Notes – Summer in the Grow Room It’s summer, and just like the world outside, the room is alive. Life is bursting in every direction — the plants, the microbes, the air systems, the sensors. Everything is connected and working in rhythm. It’s beautiful to witness. This week was not about interventions — it was about observation, appreciation, and refinement. The grow is expanding. The system is expanding. And the girls? They’re reaching for the light, fast and full of promise.

This first week was pretty rough. I originally started with one seed and one clone. The seed never sprouted because I think that I over watered it. So I went and got another clone so that they will be a little more close in age when it’s time to harvest.. day 1 I over watered and then as soon as it dried up 3 days later I over watered again. The leaves started to yellow and flop down . I spoke to someone at the grow shop and they told me that I’m using too much light and that I watered way too much. So I turned off one of the 2 150 watt lights and I drained all of the run off in the collection tray. Now I’m not watering until completely dry . I’ve seen a little bit of growth it’s been 3 days for the apples and bananas and that one looks good so far. Also Today I noticed white forming on the dirt around the sides of the flower pot? Is this mold? And if so how can I safely get rid of it? . After draining excess water and turning off one of the lights 2 days later The doc og is already starting to look better the leaves are turning up and I think I’m starting to see a little growth

01/17/2026 So today was not much of a change. The environment is a little better now that the other heater is in there. I have a feeling I'll be swapping these two out throughout the run. Very unfortunate. This week's readings look like shit. The temp of the bucket was 75° so naturally everything is thrown off. The pH was high, like 6.7 high. The EC and TDS were higher than last week. However I feel like that might be due to me soaking the hydroton in the mix for a day. It must have leeched into the bucket. Also might be a good thing. Now I don't have to increase the nutrients. The hydroton did it for me. How convenient. I added the ice bottles of course. Still no roots. Shame that. Last run, I got roots pretty quickly. This time, both are slow going. And I bet it's from the low heat. On the other hand, she started her second node yesterday and is starting to spread out. Looking good. I also increased the light intensity up to level 2. See readings below. So far they seem to be fine. I'll keep an eye on them for the day. Maybe with the extra light, they'll take off. We'll see. It should also help bring the temp up. Week Start Readings: Water: pH: 6.59 EC: 960 TDS: 476 Temp: 75°!!!! Light Readings: DLI: 22.7 mol. PPFD: 344 Environment: Temp: 71.8° RH: 58.6% VPD: 1.1 kPa CO2: 719 A note on the water readings. This is what I pulled this morning before adding the ice bottles. I thought I added some last night, but apparently not. So I'm waiting for the temp to cool down and I'll take new measurements along with the current ones. Just to see the difference the water temp made. From the beginning of last week, everything increased. I might have to pH if the lower temp doesn't do it for me. Current water readings after pHing. pH: 5.8 EC: 958 TDS: 476 ppm Temp: 67.6° That's it for now. 01/18/2026 No issues today. pHing not needed. EC and TDS are the same. Temp was high though. 72.4° so I replaced the ice bottles. No roots yet. I didn't think there would be today. I feel like maybe tomorrow. With the amount of energy she spent catching up to the light, her roots were neglected. Once they hit the water, things should start to pan out. Hopefully she stretches, but not like how she did as a seedling. 01/19/2026 Not much going on today. She's looking really good despite the super long stem. Thin leaves. She's definitely a sativa dominant strain. I can't wait to see how she turns out in the next couple of weeks. Great color. No roots yet though. 🤔 Interesting. Water was kinda warm this morning. I need to remember to add ice bottles before I go to bed. Still can't get the heater to turn off. It just won't. The air is too cold? The humidity is a nightmare too. But that's understandable. It's like 25% in the apartment. So basically nothing I can do about it. If the humidifier drops below level 8, the humidity immediately starts to plummet. It's crazy. Like the air just won't allow for any moisture to hold. I have it right next to the plants though, so they should be getting plenty of humidity. Later this week, I'll move the humidifier back so it's not on top of the plants anymore. Alrighty that's it from me. Update: I double checked under the basket and there is a long single root coming out. Hooray! 01/20/2026 More roots! More and more. There's quite a few roots coming out now. All clean and white. She looks really good. Proper growth is starting now that the roots are coming out. First set of 5 finger leaves are out and growing. Leaves are thin. Just like a sativa. Lookin good. Great color too. I forgot to swap the ice bottles out last night... Again. I have now set a reminder on my phone. But yah, I checked everything after the bottles were in the water for a couple of hours. Looks good. pH is 6.1, temp is 68°. EC and TDS are both fine as well. The environment is a nightmare. It's so bouncy and I don't know why. Well, I do know, it's the fans blowing. All over the place. But it doesn't make sense. They are in the same position as they were last run and last run had no issues. I don't understand. I had the fan set to 2. 2 out of 10. Now it's at 1. Hopefully that helps. Anyway, that's all from me for the day. 01/21/2026 I remembered to swap the ice bottles last night. And I swapped them again this morning. I need 4 more to be able to swap them out in another 8 hours. Then I should have cool water for the rest of the run. Kind of a pain to be honest as I prefer not to disturb the waters under the bucket lids. Removing the lid 3 times a day seems excessive. Granted they're only open for less than a minute. Even less than 30 seconds. So it's not bad, but still. That's a lot of disturbance. She looks great! Good color, growth rate looks nice. She's 5.5" tall now. That's an inch and a half since the beginning of the week. A little slow for my liking, but she also just started the veg stage. Maybe we'll see a half inch a day over the next 4 to 5 weeks. Maybe an inch if the conditions are ideal. If I can do it, they will be ideal. I just need to remember to check the light intensity. Don't over feed. And when you notice anything weird, check the EC and TDS. Swap out water if the readings increase. Add more nutrients if they drop. Leave the water alone if there's no change. And don't over do it. Keep the environment in a reasonable range. (Surprisingly, it's never out of range, just bounces all over it.) That's all for today. 01/22/2026 Explosive growth has started! A little stretch, but mostly leaves spreading out. However, her first true node has 3 finger leaves. It should be 5 finger. I wonder what happened. Can't be too much light, could it? But it might be the environment. Always changing from minute to minute. Still no idea how to fix that. I only had 2 ice bottles available last night, so each bucket got 1. This morning I swapped for the normal 2 per bucket. I haven't tested the water yet today. I've been kind of lacking on it. I'll check today and put the readings in. Other than that, we are happy and healthy. She's 5" now. Don't know how I measured 5.5" yesterday. But she's 5" now. No matter, she'll be fine. I'm expecting good growth from her. She can clearly stretch and enjoys a good amount of light. I think I'm going to increase the nutrient dose next week. I'm thinking 1/2 dose next week. I was gonna do 2/3 dose, but I think that might be a bit too much for now. So half dose next week. Maybe I'll change it to 2/3 half way through the week. I'm not sure. It all depends on how she takes it in. I didn't see anything about her nutrient uptake. 01/23/2026 The water was a bit warm this morning. Not too bad, but warm. I actually checked the numbers today. pH: 6.1 EC: 1035 TDS: 556 Temp: 68.4° She's starting to really grow. And her stem is holding itself up now. I'm just keeping the little prop thing up until I know she won't tip over. I do keep a small breeze going all the time, so her stem should be pretty strong when it matters. Her color is a little splotchy. Well, kinda. It looks like the new growth is t getting enough food, but the rest of the plantooka awesome, except for the weird 3 finger leaves. The environment is somewhat better now that I dropped the humidity down. I figure it hits the plants enough where if I drop it down to 55% it will hit less, thus turning 55% into 60ish%. Not dampening off, no fungal infections nothing. That's the goal.

Hi Growmies, She is becoming a monster. This plant is only 18 cm tall and basically consists of stems an buds, by now she has overtaken her mother in terms of bud production, quality and bud volume. I like to believe that the one feeding of pk 13/14 stimulated it even more. As of now the feeding will get less end less, preparing her for ripening. I am a super proud of this little project and it’s outcome and looking forward to cut this beauty down in roughly 3 weeks. Not much more to do but wait.
