Nothing much to report. Buds gradually thickening up. Smells gorgeous! Will be a shame to cut her down...the chop is coming though. I'm not sure the yield will be that good as she didn't stretch much but time will tell...

Hey guys, update week 2 this week I decided to do a video update to change it up, I also didnt take the plants out of the plant this week just gave water. They are all happy and grow at a nice rate, still no fertilizer just water in Sonnenerde living soil, even though the size of them compared to the pot size makes me worry a bit. Lets see what the next week has in store as we continue this journey together. I have to say I like these genetics a lot, all making nice trichomes and developing a beautiful aroma, solid plants, not one of the 4 doing funky things. Solid genetics !

What's up growmies, We reached the final stages...almost ready to cut. Its probably going to take an extra week compared to the Strawberry Cola. But the productions is maybe 30% more on this one. Veery long staked colas. Starting at the bottom of the plant all the way to the top. Sweet and fruity smells and drinking almost double the 💧 water compared to her neighbour. One more week of nutes and then another week with plain water is what she'll have probably. The root is a giant, white ball filling half the bucket space. I've used great white which from my experience is very very good. Doesn't perform miracles like Jesus though. The water temps in the reservoir needs to be in the correct range or else it almost always will develop phytium. If you can't keep the water cool ( 17/21ºC) you're better off with a steril system using H2O2. See you guys next week. Good grows

It's been 55 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

Esta es mi primer planta que cosechó con éxito, y estoy muy feliz con mi resultado final 😄 obtuve una muy buena cantidad de flores premium con alrededor de 15% de thc (desde mi punto de vista claro 😅) Tuve algunos problemas durante el cultivo, principalmente que deje que se estirara mucho, debi hacerle LST a la punta principal para que no siguiera aumentando la altura y tener más flores del mismo tamaño, las flores más bajas quedaron chicas y les faltó madurar un poco, también tuve problemas de sobrefertilizacion aun a pesar de que seguí las instituciones de los fertilizantes y de sus indicaciones que me dieron los de servicio al cliente, incluso ya teniendo en cuenta eso siempre use la menos de la dosis de la base ya hasta que crecieron más le fui aumentando, igual creo que es muy cierto lo que dicen de que “menos es más” a la próxima empezaré usando muy pocos nutrientes, aparte creo que si hubiera usado unos leds más potentes, las plantas hubieran aprovechado más los nutrientes, pero igual me sirvió de experiencia, pienso cultivar de nuevo esta genética y sacarle más provecho. Muy recomendada 👌🏻😁

Nothing of note really to add here. One day maybe like day 10 or so, I forgot to water on a hot day and the plant slumped. Bounced back immediately after watering. Other than that we seem to be on course. Currently fighting the urge to start using fertilizers 😒.

Took some clones 1 week before flipping to flower but forgot to take pictures. The video of the clones are from oct 1st. The Turnt smelled like chocolate cover strawberries but now are smelling of garlic and pepper with a bit of undertone of strawyberries. The Diesel smelled like lemon pinesol but now smells of citrus mixed with gas. The Banana Clipz smells of berries mixed with skunk. Paradiso smells of citrus mixed with fruit. Lung Buster smelled lightly sweet at first but now smells like berries mixed with a undertone of garlic,funk, and gas . Spilt Paint smells of berries mixed with diesel and funk.

🌱 Folder #1 — Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 3 Veg — 12/12 From Seed This run continues to surprise me in the best possible way. This plant is an autoflower, grown 12/12 from seed, and honestly… it’s performing well beyond expectations. This is my first time ever running autoflowers under a strict 12/12 cycle from day one, and I didn’t know what to expect going in. What I’m seeing now is clear, confident growth — calm, structured, and healthy. We are currently moving into the third pair of leaves, and what’s interesting is how balanced the behavior feels. At moments it almost feels like: • the autoflowers are behaving like photoperiods • or the photoperiods are behaving like autos Either way, the plant is responding beautifully. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Structure • Stage: Week 3 veg • Light cycle: 12/12 from seed • Height: ~10 cm • Nodes: Third pair of leaves forming • Overall vigor: Strong, steady, controlled The leaves are lush, vibrant green, with excellent posture and spacing. Growth is compact but not stalled — exactly what I want to see at this stage, especially under 12/12. ⸻ 🎨 Leaf Expression & Personality We’re starting to see a bit of personality show up — nothing problematic at all. There is some light discoloration / pigmentation variation on the leaves, creating a subtle, almost camouflage-like pattern. Important to note: • No signs of deficiency • No stress signals • No structural issues Just natural expression, and honestly, it looks beautiful and unique. This is one of those moments where observation matters more than reaction. I’m loving it, and I’m very curious to see how this expression evolves as the plant matures. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding All parameters remain identical to the previous report, keeping consistency across the room: • Same temperatures • Same humidity • Same solution • Same EC & pH • Same airflow philosophy Nothing changed — and that’s exactly the point. The plant is responding positively within the system. ⸻ 🧠 Observations So Far What stands out most is how comfortable these autoflowers seem under 12/12. There’s no rush, no panic, no weird stretch — just calm, confident development with a strong focus on structure and roots. This run is already teaching me something, and we’re only in week three.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture 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.
