The third week of vegetation of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 - - Dutch Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to provide their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 General: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - This week I gave the girl her first training and she is slowly starting to form strong branches on the sides 😊 She is less leafy than her sister and also has longer internodes 🍃🌿 She is now in a period of rapid growth. It will be a tall plant, I expect🍃💚 Training: I regularly do LST and light defoliation for the girls during this period. Then I tie the branches to the edges of the pot with string so that the light shines on all the branches and the main stem💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

I'm expecting at least another week on the hubba bubba as it's getting nice and thick, and I haven't noticed any new pistols form in a few days. The ABxRKO is still trucking, and it makes me excited for the next drop that tree1four did. It smells heavy on the burger side, but not super meaty. It has a slightly sweet gassy meaty smell to it.

**** HAARVEST ZOE **** Nice Strain , My little Zoe really made all the mistakes you could possibly make. No matter when I give light or want water or fertilizer. It grows and grows and grows, the main thing is that there is light. It was one of my free seeds from Zamnesia. So far all seeds have germinated. I store my seeds in a dark, airtight container at 6°C. Tastes kind of sweet after curing. Greenhouse Feeding is a really easy fertilizer to use. I used the BioEnhancer again and again. My little Zoe thanked me. The BioGrow was used as topdressing and is doing its job. The BioBloom also does its job at the right time. And that's really great and easy if you don't have an autoflower. Of course there is a corresponding product. But I was happy to get anything here at all. Legalization has wiped out the market. But for next time I have an appropriate soluble fertilizer for fast-flowering plants. It doesn't work for 8 weeks :)) I use a Sanlight Evo 3-60 1.5 with Bluetooth dimmer. There's nothing to complain about there. Set daily cycle via app. Helpful if the weather or environment is so bad that you have to regulate the light intensity. 33g after 5 days dry . 24.5 °C to 22°C with 50%-60% . curing in a vaccum box at 18°C . It looks like I'm drying too long. // It tastes a bit crunchy. Day 79: trim , slow vacuum box to cure 22°C and 61%rH . Day 76: videostuff: been drying for 4 days (res 640x480) ( optical zoom x200 - x250 ) Day 72: DLI usage total this Plant : 2236.6 DLI in 70 Days . wet trimmed, cut off, hung upside down. see you after 14 days Day 71: preparing for harvest . 24h long night session . DLI : 0 Day 70: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (16:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF video and photo tryouts with the digimicro mobil x300 optical zoom , mostly freehand Day 69: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (03:30) - 1000PPFD (14:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF incredibly hot and rain. lost some terpene :)) Well, summer is coming, Day 68: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 800PPFD (03:30) - 800PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - Added 1L bottle of water It's hot, hot, hot, Zoe would like more water. changed daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. tent is open until my real night comes. 103 flowers (including popcorn) counted, due to an accident about 15 flowers are missing. Day 67: - Sanlight DaylightCycle - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 600PPFD (00:30) - 900PPFD (03:30) - 900PPFD (14:30) - 600PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - watering bottle water 1.75L weather to hot , changed daylight start time and daylight cycle so it match the weather problems. I'm lucky, buds are still growing :))) Day 66 (we are on the road with maximum sanlight ) - analyse some trichome . - make some Zoom Pics and Video stuff . - Sanlight DaylightCycle : - + ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 1000PPFD (00:30) - 1000PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF - DLI will stress alot ... Anyway, it's too hot in my room... I open the tent and now everything is fine with the temperatures and I increase the Sanlight to 100% for the first time. May Zoe love it or leave it :)) We'll see what happens Day 65 : Sanlight DaylightCycle : ON 200PPFD (00:00) - 800PPFD (00:30) - 850PPFD (13:30) - 800PPFD (17:30) - 200PPFD (18:00) OFF It will soon be ready for harvest.

🛸🍜 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.

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.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 28 Just a quick update for this morning since I had to move the ties a little. LST, I now have them above the 3rd node branches. Stats are normal and the growth tips are turning upward now. Stats 73F/ 63% RH /IL Vent at 33% - Lights also same as before 345ppfd highest, 330 center, and 315 at lowest. No need for adjustment. She seems to be taking the training well. Day 29 Water day - checked last night and decided it was time again - Water by weight again so no runoff to measure at about 4 cups. (4 days since last feed by weight) 13lbs even par is 15lbs 4oz so I prepared 2lbs 4oz of water. Tested my meter and discovered it needed calibration (the temp is off and cant be calibrated - so I used a trusty meat thermometer. started with 4ppm and added 300ppm of epsom and vegmix ph balanced to 6.34 at 69.8F - then splashed with H2O2. Poured around roots and splashed the stem base - sprayed some on the leaves and use the whole amount. Had to adjust lights now to be brighter so I brought them down to 18.5" and ppfd is now 375highest 360 center and 345 at lowest. VPD is normal at 1.0 with 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - fans are pointed to directly now as the leaves are starting to get rough feeling - so I moved them a bit to blow less directly Training is doing good nice upward turn on the training (making small LST movements with the ties other than than... just letting it make new branches. Day 30 Checked PH and got 5.0 on my meter(+1.25 tested differential = 6.25) Stats normal too - 73F /64% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights at 385highest 370 center and 355 at lowest Removed cross ties since they are no longer needed to hold the fan leaves- training still looking nice as the new nodes are formed with 2nd node leaves growing already. Day 31 Identified an issue this morning - went back through my pictures, identified the start, looked at the day before, and noted my changes that I took notes on at that time. Went to google to diagnose a few possible hypothesis and am now testing with a treatment. (suggestions from more experienced growers welcome) This morning the issue was brown spots on the older fan leaves. Mostly just the left fan leaf. Seems to have started 2 days ago (day 29) when I changed the lights and fed her. When I fed her, I left water droplets on the leaves instead of drying them off after a short time (I had been drying them with a tissue after a wet pic. The fans were also adjusted after the lights were dropped closer as well. Hypothesis: I think the water was magnifying the light and caused light stress at the those spots. I dont think the wind of the fan had much to do with it other than they helped dry the leaves faster as noted by the water being completely gone by the time I took pictures later that night for measurements. Test: Raised my lights to a max of 350ppfd (from 385 highest reading this morning) Had to adjust fans again since they rest on my lights. Will observe looking for improvement over the next few days. ... another possibility was given to me by Guru @Roberts (thank you) as it possibly being a ph issue locking out calcium. So I thought I might test ph and then try diluted cal/mag in a spray if my soil is too low (also looked at pics and seen VERY close similarities in my pics and those) and so on that advice, I tested/calibrated my soil meter (it FINALLY calibrated for me!)I found my soil was avg of 3 readings at 5.153 (5.08,5.09,and 5.29) NOT GOOD - potentially locking out most all nutes. I weighed out about 2 cups of purified water with and added about half ml of CalMag, ph balanced the water to 6.5 at 69.7F (my research shows Calcium lockout starting at 6.3 or lower) and splashed with H2O2 - I poured most around the base and sprayed the leaves too. I made sure to use the whole solution by pouring the last of the solution in the spray bottle over the stem and stem base. EOD follow-up Found a possible calcium blockade in my ph and on my leaves (of which are now starting to curl so I placed my fans on oscillate to ensure they aren't doing more damage) --- fully documented now. otherwise measurements are now documented too. -- second node is starting to pull away from the last top so I will be looking to top again (3rd of possibly 4 total) and then HST and bind in a new spot Day 32 Doing a morning and evening check her now while I see this issue resolved. So far no sign of improvement since last night - might have gotten worse in comparison (will check pics side by side today) but I think because it's a immobile micronutrient so it should take time to stop then reverse. So in the mean time I am doing a slurry test as a 2nd test for my soil before I treat it. I took soil from 3 different spots and made sure I got some from about 4 inches deep in each spot (ensured calibrations were still good with buffer tests) 1st test is a PH meter tested directly in the soil. After using the 2 cups of 6.3 yesterday I got 3 readings today = 5.47, 5.32, and 5.5 to avg 5.43 - (yesterday's readings prior to treatment were 5.08, 5.09, and 5.29 to avg 5.153) - still far below the normal 6 to 7 for soil and the requirement of 6.3 and above for calcium to enter roots. suggesting again lockout. So while I am checking the plant conditions I also looked at the new nodes - 2nd node is starting to pull away from the first, but not quite enough to top yet - thinking I will be able to top tomorrow evening - should be able to correct the ph tonight, so I can see if there's results in that by then as well. I also set the fans to oscillate last night, so here's a video for that now. Measurements, ppfd, and vpd will be in tonight's check-up Day 32 So I started this evening by testing the run off with 2 meters, 5.7 and 5.67 - prepared 1 gallon of 7.5 ph water and splashed with H2O2 (checked with both meters) Before flushing, I documented the leaves again - still curled and look very dry but they still have some flexibility with them - they dont seem to getting any worse so the spray may have gotten enough to the leaves most affected. The new nodes and growth tips seem to be okay but not growing as fast as they were. That would still mean that the soil needs treatment before the roots begin to die off and I end up with stunted growth overall. SO I flushed the whole gallon and noted the runoff from the sides and bottom. I then tested the soil directly with 3 readings 5.95, 5.8, and 5.73 for avg 5.826 and tested the runoff water with 2 separate meters for 5.91 and 5.85 Not sure if I should feed dunk in 7.5 still or just use that number on the next feed in like 3 or 4 days. will discuss Other than that ppfd highest is 360, 350 at center, and 330 at lowest. VPD was 1.0 with temp at 74F /63% RH /33% IL Vent Growth tips could be ready to top again tomorrow night, but I would like the get the ph taken care of first. Day 33 Started the day by noticing the lower branches seem to stop turning and the next level branches seemed to have finally turned but nearly as fast as the first. (Noticed them having a start yesterday) Newer branches dont have any signs of issues. So the plan today is to make Bloom Juice for later. Feed Dunk with 100% Veg Juice at a ph of 7.3 test runoff and ppm. Top the 4 nodes and remove the lower leaves. Calcium issue or not, that was always the plan with main-linning the plant. However, because of the health issues, I dont think I am going to go past these 8 colas - rather instead I will simply stop here and do some HST to set them how I want them to grow and let her recover and finish her veg for about two or three weeks. Dunk had 300ppm of Epsom, Veg juice, in a little over 3 gallons of purified water. I had 7.4 ph and splashed with h2o2. I pushed the entire plant into the water and soaked for a few seconds. Drained by hanging the pot up for about 10 minutes and the stream started dripping instead. Checked the runoff with 2 meters 6.01 and 5.93 with 2580ppm. Then I topped all four nodes and removed the fan leaves from under my mainline. I used LST to finger press the new branches apart into the direction I plan to move them to get the nodes powering up. Next I will wait for a day to do HST on those new branches. Tonight I will simply let her rest. VPD still at 1.0 - 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights are at 365 highest, 355 center, and 335 lowest. No need to measure for growth now as I dont plan to top anymore Day 34 Early entry to day for HST the morning after topping. So I started off the morning checking stats and health. PH levels are still low. 3 soil meter tests 5.41, 5.41, and 5.44 for an avg of 5.42 - kinda at a loss here but can only monitor now. VPD and lights are mostly the same - 74F /63% RH / 33% IL Vent - VPD not relevant today as the settings are the same and I am using HST to change the plant position. leaves are noted for future reference - all four lower fan leaves have signs of calcium deficiency but not progressing nearly as fast as the first two did, so I think my attempts via higher ph water and feed may have helped. (I know the microbes in the soil are supposed to help get past ph issues , but mine seem to not be heathy) HST used a cuticle rod from my wife's nail case and a paint stick to press the rod against the branches and smash the inside of the elbows I want to bend. LST I then cut 4 strips of garden wire at the same length, hooked the ends like candy canes and aligned them about 1/2 inch above the new node and into the soil. From the side they look level but have the leaves now facing sideways. They will turn in a day or two.

I lost almost all my photos on my phone due to my storage being full so I don't have any of my harvest photos but I will try growing this strain again outdoor next year but I'll make sure to start my IPM before I have big issues next season 😅 I would recommend anybody to try growing some gps gg4 s1 the plant was started in late February and wasn't harvested until almost Halloween (Oct 24th) so all in all she did well,zero seeds and I stressed this plant to the max during early veg,late veg and early flowering so definitely has amazing stress resistance

Week 4 day 26F and they are starting to look the way i like , the canopy is full enough and the girls are pumping nice airs to what looks like is gona bi great bud, but I don’t like to speak before things happen hehehe for now the Tropicanas still looking way better than the chocolates ones, but in the end the final product will have the final saying 😁 they are drinking 4,5 L water every day, divided in 3 times, 1st after 2H ligth, 2nd is 2H after and the last after 2H were they reach run out and dry from there until next day. I do the ocasional one day in between to dry out the roots and induce some low stress to help tricomes production, in the end thats going to b the most important factor in my final decision. I lower my lights to level up my ppfd levels, i will bring them up to 1000ppfd along next week or so since they are enjoying the amounts so far 😁💚👌 PPFD - 750 Umol/m2 DLI - 32.2 mol/m2d VPD - 1.30 kPa Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro at 100% All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏 💚Growers Love to you all 💚
