Really happy with how things are looking, despite expecting slightly larger buds. I think next time, I'll defoliate and lollipop a bit more to focus the plants energy on the main tops. It stinks like mint, skunk, and sweet. Really nice trichome coverage, lots of dank buds in the mix here. Even the lowers that aren't getting as much light are looking dank. I started the week out around 500ppm and steadily dropped to below 400ppm. The ppms kept creeping up every time I'd drop them...so I kept dropping them to see where it would stabilize. I ended the week at 381ppm. In preparations for harvest, I'll plan to steadily reduce the ppm to about 200ppm, rather than doing a flush with RO. I'm working with really great starting water between 50-80ppm, which absolutely requires CalMag at .5 to .75 tsp/g.

The two plants this week look like they are turning green again and the yellowing is going away so I think all is well

Hi everyone 👊🏻 thanks for checking in 😏, so we have started flowering this week on the bigger tent using the 2 Lumii 720w LEDs, we might or might not run into some hight issues well see… And we have the other 1.2 tent set up for the clones there under 1 Lumii 720w led delivered until I can another one sorted few weeks 🤙🏻 get them under that for a few weeks then get them flowering as well. Keep eyes open for progress 👌🏻

An excellent plant, steady growth and long stems. I spotted some calmag deficiency so I added some more. That’s for now 🌸

Very happy with the size and shape, exactly what I was hoping for. Almost cured the copper defiency then the rain started and I haven't been able to feed the problem plant. Should have it sorted by next update!! 🙏🙏 They have all had strength training but seem to straighten themselves out on the same day and continue growing!

We used a 200L rain catcher to brew feed using General Hydroponics. Worked well, we just needed to add some PH solution as it was slightly acidic. We definitely made a few mistakes when transplanting last week, next season we will be doing things alot differently in terms of homes so they don't have to get transplanted so often.

Number 2 pheno might herm on me so I have to watch but I have limited plants and I really want to keep these genetics so I need atleast one female. Number 3 the mutant stopped growing before I topped, or maybe not stopped but it threw out pistils at the apical meristem and not producing leaves so I topped to see if I could promote side growth but it hasn't worked; I'm going to keep her around just for the fun of it. 4 is my hope of producing female and a good clone.

Serving up Cosmic Noodles — a Zamnesia dish with zero calories and maximum curiosity. Let’s see what this flavor reveals in our 12/12 experiment. 🌼 Germination Summary Seed Source — Zamnesia Seeds Seed Count for This Report 3 seedlings selected for documentation (More were germinated; only the standout ones were kept for reporting.) ⸻ Starting Method (Observational Log) All seeds began in a CannaKan germination system for observation. At around the 36-hour mark, early root development signs were visible. Seedlings were then transferred into: • PRO-MIX soil • Some under small humidity domes • All kept under the same shared tent conditions ⸻ 🌟 Important Note for This Genetic (Two Germination Batches) Cosmic Noodles is the only genetic in this run that has two germination batches for educational comparison: Batch A — Early Start • Germinated slightly earlier • Spent roughly 1 additional week under an 18-hour light cycle before joining the main tent • Serves as the “early veg” comparison group Batch B — Standard Start • Germinated alongside the rest of the autos • Entered the project under the strict 12/12 from seed setup Both batches used identical germination methods, media, and environmental conditions — the only variable is time and initial light cycle exposure. This adds an educational layer to the Cosmic Noodles report, allowing you to document differences in early development, structure, or expression. ⸻ Emergence Across both batches, emergence occurred within 2–3 days, showing healthy and consistent vigor. Their performance matched the rest of the autoflowers in the tent, even with the timing difference. ⸻ ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Context (Shared Tent Conditions) These notes apply across the full project and are purely descriptive: • Relative Humidity: approx. 60–65% • Temperature Day: ~26–28°C • Temperature Night: ~20–21°C • Humidifier: running continuously • Occasional misting to help stabilize moisture • Heater: used during night periods • Lighting: • Future of Grow — Air Grow Pro III HyperRED • Lumiflora UE150 under-canopy lighting (planned for later) • Controllers: TrollMaster (previous partnership) • Medium: PRO-MIX soil for all three Cosmic Noodles • Tent: fully sanitized before starting this run All Cosmic Noodles seedlings (both batches) share the same environment now. ⸻ ⸻ 🌈 Educational Notes for This Genetic Cosmic Noodles brings a playful, unique expression, and having two batches gives this report a special twist. Key observations over time may include: • Differences between seedlings that started immediately under 12/12 and those with a short veg period • Individual expression, posture, and early developmental character • How timing impacts appearance in an observational experiment Again — no expectations, no predictions. This is purely a visual and developmental comparison for documentation. ⸻ ⸻ 🙏 Acknowledgments A huge thank you to: • Future of Grow — lighting technology used in this run • Plagron — supportive nutrient and substrate partners • Zamnesia Seeds — genetics used in this project • Lumiflora — under-canopy lighting for later testing • TrollMaster — environmental gear from past collaboration • GrowDiaries — for hosting the journal And of course… • OG followers • New followers • Supporters, skeptics, and curious minds Everyone is welcome. ⸻ ⸻ 🧡 Closing Note for the Report This is the first Cosmic Noodles entry in our 12/12 seed run — with a special twist thanks to the two germination batches. Three strong seedlings are now part of the documented journey, ready to show their individuality as the run unfolds. More photos, logs, and educational notes are coming. This is just the beginning.

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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

Unsure if this will produce bigger buds before harvest, watching the trichomes now to see when the right time will be. I anticipate her being ready by Christmas, will cut when trichomes are mostly cloudy

They got to get in the big tent because now THAT is the small tent lol! My friend gave me a bigger tent for flower so now I no longer have to worry about Veg Space. Its hard to tell but I made some big decisions here and went out and lollopped these girls hard!!! I'm trying real hard no to get alot of LARF and REALLY concentrate all bud formation to the top of the canopy. I should have done a better job documenting it, but i was so concentrated on beating these girls up!!! ___________________________________________ I did quite a bit of tucking and gave em a midweek water They seem like they are all a bit diffrent timeline. its annoying, but I hope everything is just great. They are getting a heavy feed but as long as they dont get burn I'm not worried!
