09/20/2018 Today's the day we flip to 12-12 and full strength nutes, roots have filled in nicely,and she is growing,I fear if I don't flower now she may get to big for my tent, I'm hoping that she only stretches 1.5-2 x,but if she got the sweet pink grapefruit genes it could be a 3x stretch that I hoped for. But we will see .let the magic begin! 09/24/2018 Supercropping, and scrog day 4 after flip stretched,4-6" ,canopy will fill out quickly. The 9fingered leaves i am guessing are from grapefruit genes,as I have not previously had more than 7 fingered leaves on Captains Cake,Star Cookie,or Mystery Cookie plants. Might get nice stretch from their offspring,, which is partly why I chose these plants to Breed improve the stretch of Captains Cake as she didn't stretch much after 12-12 flip. Time will tell whether or not it worked.

🌌 Cosmic Noodles — Week 7 (12/12 from seed) Reading the plant, not the panic First of all — welcome to everyone new joining the diary. Quick recap below so nobody has to dig through old reports to understand how we got here. This is a 12/12 from seed run, which means there is no clean, universal “flower week.” Each plant decided on her own when to flip, stretch, and settle. That context matters for everything you’re about to read. ⸻ 🌱 Quick recap — Seed to Week 7 • Germinated and flipped 12/12 from day one • Early structure built with air training + metal clamps • Focus from the start was: • Structure over speed • Roots over tops • Stability over chasing charts • Plants developed strong internodes, upright posture, and open architecture • No rushing, no forcing — just guidance By Week 6–7, structure was locked in. Which brings us to now. ⸻ 🌡️ Room conditions (current) • 🌡️ Day temp: ~28 °C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.4 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: ~40–80 cm • 💡 LED lighting On paper, some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. But here’s the difference between growing by numbers and growing by understanding. ⸻ 🍃 LED, leaf temperature & VPD (the part most people skip) Under LED, room temperature ≠ leaf temperature. LEDs don’t radiate infrared heat like HPS. That means: • A wall sensor can read 28 °C • While leaf surface temperature is often 2–4 °C cooler And plants don’t feel the room — they feel their leaves. That’s where leaf VPD comes in. If: • Room temp = 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 Leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants confirm it: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing, no stress-praying • Strong internodes • Uniform uptake across phenotypes That’s real data. We’re not ignoring numbers — we’re letting plant behavior be the final authority. Stability beats “fixing” something that isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — why it was heavier this time Let’s be clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional defoliation. Context matters: • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, humidity pockets, and light distribution scale very differently Sometimes a single plant wouldn’t ask for defoliation — but the room does. Why we defoliated: • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Let photons travel into the canopy, not just hit the top • Reset apical dominance • Refocus energy toward flowering sites Yes — I went harder than initially planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Roots are dialed • Feed is stable • Plants are healthy Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. These girls are clearly the first category. ⸻ 🌿 Plant-specific notes (this update) 🌀 Cosmic Noodles — air-trained plant • Fully defoliated • All metal clamps removed • Structure is now self-supporting • Training phase is complete • She doesn’t need guidance anymore — just space This was a key moment: We built what we needed. Now we step back. 🌿 Sister plant • Also defoliated, fairly deep • Naturally bushy, jungle-style growth • Needed opening to avoid future congestion • Likely will need another light defoliation later — purely structural Same treatment, same feed, same environment — just different expression. ⸻ ⚖️ Nutrition note — slight Cal/Mag signal We did notice very mild Cal/Mag-related signs on some leaves. Nothing alarming, nothing spreading. Important context: • We’re running Terra line, not Coco • Terra Bloom doesn’t supply as much Ca/Mg as Coco A+B • LED + fast metabolism = higher demand We’re adjusting calmly and watching how the plant responds, not reacting emotionally. This week is about observing recovery post-defoliation. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect (and not expect) Expect: • Short recovery window • Faster vertical focus on flowering sites • Improved airflow and light efficiency • Clean structure heading into bulk phase Don’t expect: • A “stall” — these plants are too healthy • A hard flush — we reduce EC gradually, we don’t starve • Identical timelines across plants (12/12 from seed = individuality) ⸻ Final words This diary is not about perfection. It’s about learning, observing, and adjusting with intention. Thank you to: • Everyone following quietly • Everyone asking questions • OGs, newcomers, lovers, skeptics — all of you • GrowDiaries for being the platform that allows open sharing • Sponsors and supporters behind the scenes • And the plants — always the real teachers This week we focused on structure, airflow, and understanding, not fear. Cosmic Noodles has a lot coming. And this was a necessary chapter.

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.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme.

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

02/10/2021 I supper cropped the top 4" down toward lower level to promote auxins to redistribute, also starting 12-12 light cycle should be 8-9 weeks of flowering🙏 if she more than doubles in stretch,then I will need to switch to LED lights to finish

Buenas! En esta semana toco trasplante y primeros preventivos foliares, IPW de athena para preventivo 1 vez a la semana. El trasplante lo hicimos a maceta de 7L, quiero ver si puedo tener mas control de los riegos. Seguimos mateniendo humedad y de a poco suben las temperaturas, ya que no tengo aire acondicionado para un mayor control. Pero se hace lo que se puede y vienen hermosas. Ya largan ese olor característico de la cepa, un buen citrico mandarino

_____📅 Week 15 | 8nd week flower | 📅 Day 113 - 120 | 03.05 - 09.05 ______ 03.05 | Day 105 🌞 🔸Okay...we are getting close to the finish line...The buds have swollen a bit in the last week...They are not the biggest, but they look and smell like the biggest...Trichomes are also looking quite good and are plentiful (I still have to learn something with the microscope hehe) but it is enough to get an overview... 🔸It has been quite warm in the tent for the last 3 days, sometimes up to 29° - not ideal, but I don't have air conditioning either. 🔸I only add water with Cannazym and Bloom Booster, so EC=0, as my water is 0.5, so my nutrient solution for the last week has 0.5 EC and 5.6 pH. She still drinks about 1 liter a day, but it has become less. So the nutrients are steadily decreasing. 🔸I think I will harvest them in the course of the week...that fits quite well as the temperatures are going down again. I'm looking forward to giving the others more space and light. _____________________________________________________________________ 🌡️🔆= 25-26° 🌡️🌜= 19-20° 💨 Hum. = 55% 🔦 PPFD = 800-900 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~35 ___________________________________________________________________ Equipment: Flower 💡2 x 200 Watt Cosmos LED 💡2 x Glow80 Spider-Farmer (4x40Watt) 💡1 x SF-600 Spider-Farmer ⛺120 x 120 x 200 Tent (4 x 4 x 8) 🍯 18-20 liter Bucktes

This week things are swelling quick great ! The purple is showing up more but still only trace amounts. The black has no signs of changing colour however I already know my pheno ain’t the one ☝️ . But the purple shows promise!! Slow at cloning and a higher mortality rate then the black amnesia haze. This one almost every single clone I made all root amazingly ! Highly recommend for its yields and ease in the grow room. You can really feed it high . Still unknown why the purp has curling leaves but from others grows I see it’s fairly common . I’m guessing it prefers a slightly more alkaline PH . I’ve been using citric acid to ph correct and every time I sway a little low like 6.4-6.2-5.9 the plants leaves curl slightly more. Most mixes are in the 6.8-6.5 range however.

Love her will grow

Today was the day, unfortunately about a week in advance because of an infestation of Mites that reached the buds of all 4 plants left. After reasoning, interrogating AI and watching a video, I had to harvest in advance and I decided to do a washing with H2O2 as per this video explanation of Jorge Cervantes, available at this link (https://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs?si=eC6klOXkWz9eBJO3). I am providing photos and video also of this step I made.

Things are still picking up. I've almost got my light at it's maximum height and she keeps pushing taller. Two different phenos from what I popped. One is shorter and is really stacking on bud sights and starting to frost up. The other is trying to push almost a foot taller and seems to be about a week behind the other plant in terms of bud development. Did some defoliation a few days ago and cleaned up lower bud sites that were not going to reach the canopy.

Lost all photos from this week!! 3 look like normal seedlings, 1 seems mutated.

************** 25.03. Day 58 Flower Day 18 ************** Got some issues with thrips and one plant have some Problems with Calcium deficit. she now gets 0.5 more calmag than before. And all ladies get some neem oil. // RO Water // TEMP 20C // PH 6,4 // CalMag 2ml // 0,1ml Regulator // 0,6 ph- // ************** 28.03. Day 61 Flower Day 21 ************** // RO Water // TEMP 20C // PH 6,4 // CalMag 2ml // 0,1ml Regulator // 0,6 ph- // Neem Oil

Good week. Issues found.

Week 3 of flower So we had a power outtage due to a storm that came through. Lost power from 10a-6p which is most of my day cycle. So there is that. The plants looks really well. Noticed a bit of spotting so I added some cal/mag with my last watering. Buds are hella frosty you can definitely see the Banana Butter cups coming through. Thanks for stopping by please leave a like and tips and advice are always appreciated.

All I’ve done this week was stretch her out as much as possible,,getting as much light to all the buds,,and kept her food levels topped up,, This week I’m going to start giving her water only,,and just let those nuggs flush out the unneeded,,,,,lols ,she looks really good for her age,,,start winding her down now,,,these buds are so tight,,🙏💚💚💚

Super gas! Non bellissima da vedere come aspetto ma probabilmente una delle più buone ed interessanti di questo mio ciclo. Profilo terpenico gassoso/dolce con sentori di chem

Girls are looking fantastic and smelling wonderful
