Day 23. This girl should be big, stretching and side shooting lika a champ ! A bit sensitive to magnesium and nitrogen, but all is going better. Next week or maybe a bit earlier i will start training. Girl is on pure dechlorinated phed water diet. 6.3 as always. Thinking to give 1000ml instead of current 600 to them. Girls drink every 3 days. Great light no doubts! Mars TS1000 and daily rotation around axe, plus changing positions every 2 days - helps a lot with even development. Day 26. Small training for her was done, again main stem was twisted for 20-30 sec between fingers and top bent sideways. That helps to strengthen main top and allows other side shoots to catch up for even canopy . Still think wires will be involved with all, too little space, need to optimise it .... Happy Growing !!!

Неделя прошла отлично! Дал первый компот на цветение! Были пожелтело некоторые нижние и старые листья, но компот похоже хороший и все по ходит в норму) Ещё немного делал лст, следущий наверно буду делать когда они ещё подрастут! Продолжаю бороться с жарой. Следующую неделю надеюсь дневник буду вести лучше)

10.06.25 BT#41 Guten Abend liebe Growmie's ✌️ Da bin ich wieder mit der Caramba von Paradise Seeds. Wir befinden uns am Blütetag 41 der Lady geht es sehr gut die Buds nehmen Form an. Heute gab es wieder Nährstoffe Hesi Blüh Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2,5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Ihre Wasser Aufnahme hat sich deutlich erhöht. Ab BT# 45 werde ich alle Nährstoffe langsam runter fahren das ich die letzte Woche nur noch Ph angeglichenes Wasser verabreiche. Dann geht es für 2 Tage in die Dunkelkammer danach Erfolgt der Cut🙂 Fand den Grow sehr sehr entspannt definitiv ein Strain für Beginner der euch einiges verzeihen wird , sehr resistent gegen Krankheiten oder Schädlingsbefall. Jetzt geht es langsam in die Heiße Phase ab BT#50 wird das Taschenmicroskope gezückt die Tricome mal abchecken und immer regelmäßiger schauen wie sie sich verändern. Jetzt freuen wir uns auf die nächste Woche mit neuen Updates bleibt Gesund and Stay high. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 😁 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 10.06.25 BT#41 Good evening dear Growmie's ✌️ Here I am again with Caramba from Paradise Seeds. We are now on day 41 of flowering and the lady is doing very well, with the buds taking shape. Today she received nutrients again Hesi Bloom Complex 5ml/L, Hesi Phosphor Plus 2.5ml/L, Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Her water intake has increased significantly. Starting with BT# 45, I will slowly reduce all nutrients so that I only administer pH-adjusted water during the last week. Then it's off to the darkroom for 2 days, followed by the cut 🙂. I found the grow very, very relaxed. Definitely a strain for beginners that will forgive you a lot, very resistant to disease or pest infestation. Now we are slowly entering the hot phase. From BT#50, we will pull out the pocket microscope to check the trichomes and look more and more regularly to see how they are changing. Now we are looking forward to next week with new updates. Stay healthy and stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 😁

Girls are looking great so far! I added about 2ml/g to the reservoir and the plants responded well. Got a good explosion of growth over the last few days. I was able to start LST training the largest of the 4 today and the other 3 will be a day or 2 until they will be ready to start LST. Had some Ph issues during week 4 because my pen decided to go wonky. I tried to calibrate it again and had a hard time. So I busted out an older one and decided to calibrate it and see if it worked still... calibrated in a few min and sure enough res ph was well bellow 5. So water was changed as it was time anyway and ph’d proper just before lights out so we will see what happens tomorrow.

Gracias al equipo de Barney's Farm y a MarsHydro por las donaciones. Con un giro totalmente único, Barneys Farm continúa su búsqueda en la creación de una genética pionera con nuestra propia Strawberry Cheesecake Auto. Después de una extensa cría selectiva con nuestras diversas cepas ricas en terpeno de fresa, elegimos un sutil y seductor fenotipo Strawberry Pie. El laboratorio luego cruzó esto con un raro corte de una Afghan OG. La infusión de éstos rasgos Kush dominantes de Indica garantiza un crecimiento rápido, capacidades de producciones increíbles y una fuerte estructura. Cruzar ésta creación con nuestro BF Super Auto #1 significa que Strawberry Cheesecake Auto también puede prosperar en climas más fríos, es perfectamente compacta y completa su ciclo de vida en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Durante su etapa de crecimiento nuestra Strawberry Cheesecake Auto es típicamente modesta antes de que el rápido crecimiento de sus ramas florales de forma contundente se extienda, sus hojas de color verde oscuro eventualmente se transforman produciendo hermosos tonos púrpura profundos. Como era de esperar, se trata de una planta resinosa muy pegajosa con flores anaranjadas profundas cubiertas de una gruesa capa de tricomas. Los aromas son bastante intrigantes, queso dulce de cabra con toques de "old school Skunk" rematado con sutiles notas de hachís de fresa y bayas silvestres frescas. Consigue aquí tus semillas 😁🌻🚀: https://www.barneysfarm.es/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 📆 Semana 1 de crecimiento: Relleno las macetas de tierra evitando espigamientos. Aplico tierra de diatomeas para evitar futuras plagas y humus de lombriz para mejorar el sustrato y así también el sabor final de los cogollos. Solo regaré una vez con nutrientes con una EC de 550 y el resto con agua y calmag hasta 350 ppm, al haber aplicado el humus de lombriz y la tierra de diatomeas. Humedad: 70% Temperatura: 30°C

Woche 8 Blüte Woche 4 Die Money Maker von den Strain Hunters ist in der 4ten Blüte Woche und Sie lässt sich außergewöhnlich viel Zeit mit der Umstellung. In dieser Woche habe ich an der Money Maker wenig gemacht außer das ich die Nährstofflösung noch mal angepasst habe. Zu den bestehenden Schema habe ich schonmal Big Bud mit aufgenommen.. Bei Fragen einfach die Frage stellen, genauso bei Verbesserungen und Tipps für mich. Danke und viel spaß mit euren Pflanzen.

So I believe the plants are coming to an end within a couple of weeks. I took everything off the timer and am now running 24/0 light schedule. I want to make the most out of what light is available. The plants need it. My tent is underpowered in that department, so increasing the duration of the light is all I can realistically do. Hopefully, it will help. The buds have been developing nicely. They are incredibly FROSTY 😍 so to keep the progress going, I have been sticking with the sea kelp for the potassium. Occasionally adding phosphorus with the bud explosion PK Booster. With much smaller doses in comparison, each time. There are definitely signs of nitrogen excess, with the clawing on many leaves. There are also extremely purple stems on the leaves. As I don't know what the seed was, I can't tell whether it is normal for the strain it is, or a nutrient issue, light stress, etc. (If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate them!) This one was planted in coco, perlite, and worm castings. Due to this being practically the first time I've used this mix without adding the peat based "light mix". I had not realised how quickly the pots will dry out, especially during the high water consumption of the flowering stage. I realise that I need to be treating it as pure coco. This can be fantastic, for example, if you have just one pot/plant and can provide all the waterings and monitoring continually and regularly. This tends to make you use more nutrients than necessary, as personally I find it difficult to use just plain water. I think many of us still can't help the feeling that we should be adding things to every watering. Therefore, when the frequency of the waterings increases, we are still adding nutrients EVERY time. Which is an overall increase in nutrients, too. For my part, I'm cutting the amount of nutrients per watering. I feel like nutrients are a bit of a crutch to growers. I'm still getting used to the coco and the waterings, but I am really enjoying it. If you don't check your plants multiple times a day, it may not be the best choice of substrate. For me, I'd much rather the pots dry quickly because it reduces the chances of mould and mildew, which I'm always concerned about. 30.5.25: I watered with 4L of plain dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱

These were taken on day 59 I was a little late to put gettin them up. I've been doing some heavy flushes on some of them cuz the run off ppm was a little high. I mixed these with soil so I dont know if that's why it's not coming down as quick as usual but I'll keep poundin these ladies til the cows come home

🛸🍜 Week 1 — Cosmic Noodles | Dual Timeline Report | 12/12 Experiment Welcome to Folder 2 — Cosmic Noodles, a unique space in the 8×8 project, because this is the first strain where we are officially documenting two plants evolving under two different timelines, converging now into the same photoperiod and environment. Before anything else: Thank you to the genetics providers @ Zamnesia Seeds, Plagron, Future of Grow, Cannakan, and the entire GrowDiaries community for following this multi-layered grow. Your support makes these experiments possible, and Cosmic Noodles is the perfect strain to explore something new. ⸻ 🌱 Two Plants, Two Origins — One Timeline From Now On Cosmic Noodles here has two versions of herself growing side by side: ⸻ 1️⃣ Plant A — Week 1 Seedling (12/12 From Seed) This is the one officially being logged for this Week 1 report. • Germinated fresh • Started directly under 12/12 from day one • Growing in Pro-Mix mycorrhizal bag • Responding beautifully to early light and nutrition • Leaves are vibrant, symmetrical, and compact • Classic early autoflower posture, but more energized due to the Pro-Mix biology ⸻ 2️⃣ Plant B — The “15-Day Veg Experiment” Plant This one is fascinating: • Germinated earlier (around 2.5 weeks old now) • Grew the first 15 days under normal veg lighting • Reached 5 nodes before switching to 12/12 • Currently in Plagron LightMix Bio • Now entering the same 12/12 conditions as Plant A • Will receive the same PPFD, nutrition, feeding schedule, and environment as the rest of the tent This plant is our autoflower test subject for: “What happens when you veg an auto for 15 days and THEN drop to 12/12?” No one talks about this. No one measures it. Lets pioneering it. ⸻ Medium Differences — Pro-Mix vs LightMix Bio Plant A: Pro-Mix Mycorrhizal Bag (14.5 L) Benefits: • Fast root colonization • Mycorrhizae bond early and extend nutrient access • Perfect for compact 12/12 growth • Excellent for autos that benefit from minimal transplant stress • Air pruning along the bag walls encourages a dense fibrous root system Plant B: Plagron LightMix Bio (Plastic Pot) Benefits: • Light, buffered nutrient profile • Excellent aeration and seedling support • More neutral starter base • Ideal for early veg expansion (which is exactly what she did before the light switch) Now both plants will follow the same regimen, allowing a clean comparison between: • Two mediums • Two ages • Two development speeds • One identical environment This data is going to be priceless. ⸻ 💧 Feeding — Plagron Nutrient Line (Shared Across the Tent) In water: • Terra Grow: 25 ml / 10 L • Power Roots: 1 ml / L • Pure Zym: 1 ml / L • Sugar Royal: 1 ml / L Foliar: • Vita Race: 2.5 ml / L Why it works for this dual experiment: • Power Roots + mycorrhizae = Plant A gains explosive root start • LightMix + Pure Zym = Plant B keeps metabolic stability while adapting to 12/12 • Sugar Royal = improved stress resistance for both plants during transition • Terra Grow = supports nitrogen demands during early growth and adaptation • Vita Race = enhances structure and leaf strength Both plants will now move through the same nutrition rhythm, making differences purely genetic + developmental. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Stats (Week 1) • EC: ~1.0 • pH: ~6.0 • Water Temperature: 21–22°C • Room Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: 65–70% • CO₂: ~666 ppm • PPFD: 500 These conditions are stable and optimized for early autoflower growth, even under 12/12. ⸻ 💡 Lighting — 500 PPFD Under Hyper Red This is where the experiment becomes truly interesting. Plant A (12/12 from seed) Expected behavior: • Compact structure • Fast root establishment • Minimal early stretch • Pre-flower signals earlier than usual Plant B (transition from 15 days veg → 12/12 now) Expected reaction: • A noticeable micro-stretch as she adjusts • Faster metabolism due to increased PPFD • Possible accelerated pre-flower initiation • Bigger structure compared to Plant A, but shorter cycle than full-auto This is brand-new territory — a hybrid between auto behavior, photoperiod cues, and full-spectrum LED influence. You’re creating the data that other growers wish they had. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Plant A (Week 1 Seedling) • Steady node development • Strong root explosion due to Pro-Mix • Compact 12/12 posture • Early visible leaf detail • Potential early pistils in 2–3 weeks Plant B (15-Day Veg Auto) • A small stretch phase • Faster assimilation of high PPFD • Earlier bud site formation than typical autos • Possible hybrid flowering pattern: • More structure than 12/12-from-seed autos • Faster than full-auto-on-18/6 This divergence + convergence is the heart of this folder. ⸻ 📊 Metrics Being Tracked • PPFD reaction • Node spacing differences • Morphology between two timelines • Root behavior in two mediums • Light adaptation after the switch • Stress markers (if any) • Onset of flowering • Leaf geometry and macro details Cosmic Noodles will give us two different stories that merge into one final flower. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Cosmic Noodles is the first folder in the 8×8 project with dual timeframes, making it one of the most experimental and exciting strains in the whole run. Plant A shows the elegance of autos under strict 12/12 from seed. Plant B shows how an auto behaves when given a short traditional veg before switching to a compact flowering cycle. Two beginnings. One destiny. And a lot of beautiful, cosmic data along the way. This report is the foundation for what will likely become one of the most educational folders in the entire project.

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.

So I'm into week 8, day 57 and the plants are not looking too great. THe buds are nice, but I'm not sure if all the leaf issues are just because near end, or heat, or no nutes. etc.

Beginning of week 4 in flowering and everything is coming along quite nicely. plants are loving there Remo nutes! just switched this tent over to a self watering drip system cause it was getting to be a real pain watering these girls by hand. Their siting in 7 gallon fabric pots and boy do they drink a mad amount of water/nutes! the pots are just packed with roots! really loving the Remo lineup of nutes so far! go Remo! Go Sports! Buds are starting to form nicely! Started to open up the bud sites a bit by tucking what i could but had to snip a few leaves up top to open a few lower sites up trying to get through.
