Day 2 - mostly training...white hairs now coming through. Nitrogen boost in last feed helped perk up the plant.

Week 5: Flower - Different Strokes for Different Folks 🌸 Currently vibing to: Larry June - Smooth Kind 🎵 We're deep into flower now, and the girls are teaching me one of growing's most important lessons—even sisters from the same genetic line have their own unique needs. Individualized care is the name of the game. Apple Fritter & Lemon Cherry (Right) - Still Hungry! Despite last week's top dress, these two are showing signs they want MORE. Sometimes plants just have bigger appetites, and that's okay—we adjust and keep moving. Last Week's Feeding: Top Dress: Equal parts (1 tbsp each) Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom (direct feed) Supplement: Growganica Incredible Kelp (for bulking support) The Reality: They're still looking a bit hungry—lighter green than ideal, possibly showing early signs of nitrogen or micronutrient deficiency as they push through flower. This Week's Plan: Direct liquid feed with Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom for faster nutrient availability Another top dress to build the soil reserve back up The combination should give them both immediate and sustained nutrition Sometimes you've got to hit them from both angles—quick-acting liquid feeds AND slow-release top dressing. Lemon Cherry (Left) - The Thriving One Meanwhile, her sister is absolutely GLOWING. Lush, deep green leaves, vigorous bud development, and zero signs of deficiency. She's the poster child for what these plants should look like right now. Her Schedule: Same feeding as the others last week The Difference: Could be phenotype variation, root mass differences, or just plain old plant personality. This is why we observe each plant individually rather than treating the whole garden as one unit. Feeding Plan: Keep her on the same schedule—if it ain't broke, don't fix it. She'll get the kelp supplement but may not need the aggressive feeding the others require. The Growganica Incredible Kelp Addition Added to all three plants to support: Bulking and bud density Micronutrient uptake Natural plant hormones for flower development Stress resistance Kelp is that secret weapon in organic growing—packed with trace minerals and growth hormones that plants love during flower. Key Observations & Real Talk The big lesson this week: Two plants from the same seed batch, getting the same treatment, responding completely differently. This is NORMAL and actually really important to recognize. Some plants are heavy feeders. Some are light feeders. Some have more aggressive root systems. Some are more efficient at nutrient uptake. You can't cookie-cutter this—you have to read each plant and respond accordingly. The hungry girls aren't struggling—they're just asking for more. And that's fine! Better to feed them what they need than stubbornly stick to a schedule that's not working. The Organic Feeding Strategy Moving Forward For the hungry duo: Immediate: Liquid Terp Tea Bloom feed (faster absorption) Follow-up: Top dress to rebuild soil reserves Monitor: Watch for color improvement and vigorous growth response For the thriving girl: Maintain: Current feeding schedule Observe: Keep watching to ensure she stays happy Adjust: Only if she starts showing needs Next Week's Plan Execute the dual feeding approach (liquid + top dress) on Apple Fritter and Lemon Cherry Right Continue kelp supplementation across all three Monitor bud development and adjust support/training as needed Document the differences in plant response—this is valuable data for future grows Keep the Larry June flowing and the vibes smooth ✌️

Earlier this week our very own sidelibe reporter Lyetah Nutherwon was able to catch up with the clone 1Leaf aka The 1, and discuss the plants recent success. We will now take you there live, to the transcript of that interview L..N.:"So 1 Leaf, what has been the key to your recent success?" 1: "I think the biggest keys have been taking advantage of light and nutrients while also making sure i stay well hydrated." L.N.: "How has all the success changed your life and is it hard not to let it go to your head?" 1: "Nah it doesnt go to my head cuz Im pretty much topped all the way around. I believe its important to stay in touch with your roots and remember where you came from. What makes you who you are. I had a rough dome life growing up and like to stay in touch with that part of me and use it as motivation. L.N. "motivation for what? What would you like to change?" 1: "I don't want young clones growing up feeling the way I felt. Indica, Sativa, Hybrid....we're all the same genus. Indoor plants...outdoor plants....we all need to come together. We dont have to agree about everything just respect one another regardless of what color our leaves are, the spectrum we prefer, whether or not we are foliated or defoliated, nutrient burned or nutrient deficient." L.N. "That sounds down right reasonable 1 Leaf. You should probably be ruler of the universe. What about all the strainists and haters? If plants want something to blindly hate then why not just hate seedling molesters? Just cuz an indica or a sativa wronged you doesnt mean they all will. There's good and bad phenotypes of all strains....but there aren't any good seedling molesters. So let's all just hate them instead. L.N.: "That might be the most logical thing I've ever heard. That's fantastic. So how do u want to finish your career?" 1: "My ultimate goal is to get into flower and become a legendary bud and resin producer. That's my dream. Then once I'm done with the flower game, I want to be rolled up into a big ol' hooter, light me up and pass my ass around the world so everybody can get lit together and stop being dicks to each other. Then I want somebody to make Beans a big ass sandwich."👍 End Wow....powerful stuff right there. I'd like to put that in my pipe and smoke it. That concludes this weeks edition of Legend of the 1Leaf Wonder. Tune in next week and find out what kind of sandwiches Beans prefers.

What a successful experiment! People said you couldn't grow and flower good weed in an Aerogarden so I had to prove them wrong. When I first started this grow experiment I would have been happy with a quality oz of bud. I never imagined pulling more than 2 oz's from 1 gallon of soil and only 45 Watts of light. That's 1.4 grams per watt! Already have a second Aerogarden going. This time it's Bud Bud Bling-Tingz✨ Give it a look!

I’m going to start flushing this gorilla, almost all trichomes are milky and I want enough flush before they start leaning towards amber. Buds will probably ripen a bit more this last week as well. It's nice and crisp springweather, perfect to add some more frosting to those budstickles.

Estuvimos un poco desaparecido por andar un poco desmotivado pero aquí vamos nuevamente, las nenas van bastante bien en la semana 8 la cambiamos a maceta de 3.5L y aprovechamos de darle GREAT WHITE SHARK, la técnica que usamos es de amarrar el central ya que le hicimos supper cropping y apical a nuestro central, amarramos el apical que le hicimos super cropping y le dimos fuerza a varios brazos. Para ir controlando la altura de los brazos le hicimos poda a pical a los que estaban tomando más altura y así poder ir equiparando los brazos. La verdad que no se cuantos brazos tengo que sacar y aun me quedan unas 4 semanas para poder desocupar mi armario de floración y poder pasarlas a flora, así que intentaremos hacer una muy buena estructura antes de pasarlas a floración. La defoliación la aplico cada vez que saco foto ósea semanal y trato de ir manteniendo de a 4 nudos o 6 nudos La alimentación se mantiene igual lo que si no se si lo dije pero: Rhizotonic: Lo estoy usando solo en trasplantes y cuando hago alguna poda. Cannazym: Lo estoy usando 1 vez por semana. Orca y Myco Chum: Lo estoy usando 1 vez cada 1-2 semanas Alimentación diaria: Calmag, silicia, supervit y canna coco a+b Alimento a cada una con 250-350 cc de solución, 2 horas que encienden las luces y 2 horas antes de que se apaguen. Gracias a esta receta no eh tenido tanta variedad en mi runoff y las nenas se mantienen muy sanas. Saludos

In the first week of flowering, only two had pistils, one at first is male and the other plants cannot be sure yet I'll wait for sure to see if there is any male for me to remove from the grow

20th Blue Dream auto from Fastbuds 💚

LSD — Week 12 12/12 from seed. Late flower. Full expression. Quiet hands, heavy flowers. This is the stage where the grow starts asking less from us — and more from our patience. By now, most of the work is already done. Structure is built. Feeding has done its job. Environment has stayed stable. Roots have carried the weight. And now the plant is doing what it was always meant to do: Finish. This is not the week for chasing numbers. Not the week for aggressive changes. Not the week for “fixing” what clearly isn’t broken. This is the week for restraint. For observation. For letting the plant complete the final chapter on its own terms. And LSD is doing exactly that. ⸻ Quick recap — how we got here This run was never about force. It was about rhythm. From the start, LSD showed what stable genetics + stable conditions can do when they’re allowed to work without interruption. No dramatic swings. No constant corrections. No overhandling. No chasing deficiencies that weren’t there. No feeding for ego. Just consistent inputs, controlled environment, steady root-zone conditions, and enough discipline to leave healthy plants alone. That’s what built this finish. Now, in week 12, we’re seeing the result of every quiet decision made weeks ago: * strong vertical structure * dense flower stacking * steady resin production * proper late-flower fade * increasing floral mass * and a plant that is still focused on ripening, not surviving That matters. Because this stage is no longer about growth. It is about conversion. The plant is no longer trying to become bigger. It is trying to become heavier, louder, stickier, and more chemically complete. And it shows. ⸻ Late flower, properly explained This is one of the most misunderstood stages in the cycle. To newer growers, this phase can look confusing. Leaves begin to fade. White hairs begin to darken. Growth appears slower. The plant drinks differently. Some leaves curl. Some flowers swell unevenly. The plant looks “older.” And that is exactly what should be happening. This is not decline. This is maturation. Late flower is the point where the plant shifts energy away from expansion and into completion. That means: * less vertical push * less fresh green growth * slower water demand * increased resin output * calyx swelling * terpene maturation * pistil oxidation * nutrient drawdown from stored reserves The plant is not slowing down because something is wrong. It is slowing down because it is finishing correctly. ⸻ Trichomes — what they are, and what they are not This is where the real story is now. Trichomes are not “frost.” They are not cosmetic sparkle. They are not just visual proof that a plant “looks strong.” And they are definitely not just sugar. Trichomes are glandular resin heads — microscopic biochemical factories built by the plant. Their job is protection. They exist to defend the flower from: * UV stress * heat * dehydration * pests * fungal pressure * environmental stress And inside those tiny resin glands is where the plant stores much of what we care about most: * cannabinoids * terpenes * flavonoids * volatile compounds * aromatic oils So when we say a plant is “getting frosty,” what we actually mean is: The plant is reaching peak resin production and chemical expression. That frost is chemistry made visible. And right now, LSD is deep in that phase. The resin is no longer just forming. It is maturing. That distinction matters. Early trichomes are mostly clear — immature, still developing, not yet fully expressed. Then they move cloudy/milky — peak cannabinoid development, strongest active expression. Then amber begins — oxidation, degradation, and chemical transition into later-stage ripeness. This is why trichomes matter more than pistils. More than fan leaves. More than fade. Because trichomes tell you what the flower is doing chemically — not just visually. And right now, these plants are no longer building resin. They are finishing it. ⸻ The “curl” in the leaves One of the easiest late-flower details to misread. At this stage, some sugar leaves begin to curl, claw, or fold inward around the flower. New growers often panic here. But in late flower, this is often not a feeding issue. It is not always heat. It is not automatically toxicity. Sometimes, very simply: There is just too much flower and too much resin sitting on too little leaf. At this point the plant is carrying weight, stacking density, and coating nearby leaf tissue in resin so heavily that those small leaves begin to tighten, curl, and fold into the flower. It is a late-stage pressure response. Part mechanical. Part environmental. Part genetic. Very often normal. Context matters. And in this context — dense tops, heavy trichome load, stable temps, no major stress signals — this reads like maturity, not trouble. ⸻ Pistils — why the white hairs are changing This is another classic late-flower marker. Those white hairs are pistils. Early on, they emerge bright white as the flower actively builds and reaches. As the flower matures, those pistils begin to: * darken * curl inward * oxidize * retract into swollen calyx tissue That change from white to orange/brown is not the plant “dying.” It is the flower aging into ripeness. Fresh white pistils usually signal active new flower development. Darkened pistils usually signal that part of the flower is maturing and beginning to finish. This is why late flower often shows both at once: * older pistils darkening * newer pistils still pushing That is normal. Flowers do not ripen all at once. They ripen in layers. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing now. ⸻ Feeding — why less is doing more This is the point where overfeeding does more harm than underfeeding. The plant no longer needs to be pushed. It needs to be allowed to finish. Right now the feed is still simple, controlled, and appropriate: * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * CalMag Pro * Terra Bloom * Power Buds * Green Sensation Nothing excessive. Nothing chaotic. No late-game bottle collecting. No panic additives. Just enough to support: * final bulking * resin maturity * metabolic efficiency * clean finish That’s the right move here. And yes — next week is likely the point where feedings begin to step down or stop entirely. Not because the plant is starving. Because the plant is done demanding. That’s the difference. Late flower feeding is not about force-feeding weight. It is about supporting the final metabolic steps without leaving excess behind. The closer we get to harvest, the less the plant needs to be fed — and the more it needs to be left alone. ⸻ Environment — why nothing is changing This room is still stable. And stable is exactly what late flower wants. * 26°C day * 18°C night * 60% RH * ~21°C root zone * ~18°C solution * 12/12 unchanged * CO₂ stable * watering controlled And most importantly: The plants clearly like it. So we do not change what is working just because we are close to harvest. Late flower is not the time to start experimenting. Not the time to suddenly drop temperatures. Not the time to force stress. Not the time to chase color. Not the time to “improve” a stable room. Consistency is what got the plants here. Consistency is what finishes them properly. ⸻ Weight gain — where the real growth is now The plant is not stretching anymore. But it is absolutely still growing. Just differently. This is density growth now. Mass growth. Calyx stacking. Internal swelling. Resin thickening. Water redistribution. Final weight. This is where flowers stop looking bigger every day — but start feeling heavier every day. That is late flower. Less visible movement. More invisible gain. And this is where growers who harvest too early lose the most. Not because the plant looked unfinished. Because the final weight had not landed yet. That weight is landing now. ⸻ What to expect next week Next week is likely transition week. Not dramatic. Not aggressive. Just the beginning of the final slowdown. Expect: * less water demand * slower daily movement * more pistil darkening * more calyx swelling * heavier tops * continued fade * trichomes shifting deeper into maturity * feed reduction or full stop approaching This is the point where observation becomes more important than intervention. The job next week is simple: Watch closely. Touch less. Finish clean. ⸻ Final thoughts This is one of the most beautiful parts of the cycle. Not because it is explosive. Because it is precise. This is where good structure becomes good flower. Where patience becomes weight. Where resin becomes chemistry. Where restraint becomes quality. LSD is no longer trying to impress. It is trying to finish. And it is doing that exactly right.

Here we are. At the end of week 7. This cultivar is scheduled for 45 days but at day 49 I can confidently say she is not ready yet. Thinking another week and she should be ready. All is looking good and these girls buds are super fat! Especially for Humboldt. The smell isn't as intense as I'd like but still there. A sweet smell. Still defoliating as I can and as needed. Getting watered daily or every other day. Here's to the home stretch! 🍻 Lights at 100% power. Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

Day 6 in flower the back left one has extremely outgrown the other 3. The front right has shown pistils and the other 2 are short and bushy so hoping I have 3 girls. Going to keep an eye on the tall one till it shows sex. Didn't get a chance to prune at all due to being in tiny pots for veg 6 weeks and causing stress and didn't want to over do it with transplanting them soo late I will wait untill week 3 of flower before I prune and keep bending the fan leaves under the lower canopy untill then. The smell is lovely

Still going lol. Still not too many amber, but I cut down one of the smaller side growths to dry and test. Keeping up with just water, probably could have added nutes for quite a bit longer, but oh well next time haha. Couple buds moved onto a light bulb and burned pretty badly. Be careful out there!

Guter strain und der Geschmack ist auch ganz gut aber es gibt deutlich besseres

Day 60. Epsilon Buds don't develop big as I want. Well it is what it is. Orions have still a long way to go. Also I did overdose pk.

Chopped one already. These 5 are finishing.
