🌱 LSD — Week 4 Veg Report (Mixed Light Histories)
Quick recap for anyone joining us here at Week 4
In this run, not all plants followed the exact same light timeline early on — and that’s why we’re now seeing two distinct expressions inside the same grow, under the same current conditions.
This is intentional, educational, and incredibly valuable to observe.
⸻
🌸 The Early-18h Plant — Signs of Flower Initiation
One of the plants spent a few weeks under 18 hours of light before joining the rest.
Now, at Week 4, she’s clearly showing early flowering signals:
• First pistils appearing
• A subtle but visible shift in posture and energy
• That unmistakable “I’m ready to bloom” attitude
She looks beautiful — relaxed, confident, and eager to express herself.
This is not stress. This is timing.
What’s happening here?
The earlier extended vegetative light allowed her to mature physiologically faster. Once environmental cues aligned, she was simply ready.
She wants to be free.
She wants to flourish.
And she absolutely will.
⸻
🌿 The Others — Classic Veg Growth, Right on Track
The rest of the plants are behaving exactly as expected for Week 4 veg:
• Up to 6 nodes
• Clear branching initiation
• Very uniform structure across individuals
• No visible flowering signs yet
They are lush.
Deep, healthy greens.
Leaf structure is expressive and full of character — a strong genetic signature showing itself clearly now.
You can already tell: this is good genetics, handled with respect.
⸻
🌡️ Environment & Nutrition (Unchanged, Dialed-In)
Everything remains consistent across all plants:
• Nutrition: unchanged, same recipe for all
• Watering: same rhythm and inputs
• Room temperature & environment: stable
• Temperature: ~25.7 °C
• Relative Humidity: ~60%
• CO₂: ~666 ppm
• PPFD: increased slightly this week • Now sitting around 600–700 PPFD, depending on plant size and proximity to the light
• Roughly +100 PPFD compared to last week, adjusted naturally as the canopy rises
This is a key point worth repeating:
👉 Different expressions are coming from timing, not from different treatment.
⸻
🧠 Why This Matters (and Why It’s Beautiful)
This week is a perfect live lesson in:
• How light history influences developmental timing
• Why plants in the same room can behave differently — without anything being wrong
• How consistency allows genetics to speak clearly
Nothing is forced here.
Nothing is rushed.
We’re simply listening.

🙏 Thank You
As always, a huge thank-you to everyone following along, observing, learning, and respecting the process.
This diary isn’t about perfection — it’s about understanding, patience, and appreciation for the plant.
The girls are shining.
And this story is only just beginning 💚

We’ve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together.
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.
