START WEEEK Day 98 4/24/22 +With the exception of the cranky girl, the room is exploding with incredible sights and smells. +Lowered ppm just a bit to 800. I guess? that I will decrease to nothing and get prepared for harvest +Kolas are exploding with neon carrot pistols. Very Beautiful +Smell is average, and increasing +light is 12" away from tallest kola and up to 24 for the very shortest. I have 4" of lift left. Should I raise? +It's summer in the South. Temp and Humidity vary greatly, daily. Days in 80's Nights upper 60's. Humidity anywhere from 58% to +Each plant has developed at it's on rate so this week I will continue selective defoliation. +Almost forgot. I am going to try some Epsom salt in an attempt to get the cranky girl to feel a little better. THINKING OUT LOUD ?Cranky girl has been weird from day one. Maybe genetics might be me. I was rough on the girls to start with. She however, was always super green, slow to grow, squatty, huge fan leaves and now (according to growmies) now possibly has a magnesium deficiency. I am critical of myself but I am actually starting to lean toward genetics. Just a note. This was the only plant that I did 0 training to. Just defoliation (light). Nice that I had 3 others to give me backup. ?Need to take a look at some trimming tools on Amazon. Bare Essentials (right :)) THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH MY MOST RECENT GROW QUESTION. AS ALWAYS ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, GOOD OR BAD ARE ALWAYS WELCOME😁 SO... GOING TO TRY 4 DIFFERENT STRAINS ON THIS NEXT RUN. BLACKBERRY MOONROCKS, BLUE COOKIES, BANANNA SHERBERT AND A RE-RUN OF A PLATINUM OG. MIGHT ALSO DO IN SOIL. WHO KNOWS? I will be germinating in just a couple of days.

🌱 GMO Cookies — Week 3 VEG Report (12/12 from seed | Autoflower behaving in sync with photoperiods) General Overview Week 3 of vegetative growth comes to a close with GMO Cookies performing exceptionally well. Just like the other autoflowers in the room, she continues to behave in a way that closely mirrors the photoperiod plants — steady, structured, and rhythmically aligned with the rest of the genetics in the tent. Despite the diversity of cultivars running side by side, all plants are maintaining very similar height, pace, and development, each expressing itself slightly differently but moving forward together. This consistency speaks volumes about both the genetics and the stability of the environment. Growth & Structure • Vegetative stage: Ongoing • Flowering signs: None observed • Node count: 6 nodes • Growth habit: Compact, controlled, well-balanced • Leaf expression: • Lush, deep green • Broad, healthy leaflets • Excellent turgor and texture Growth this week can only be described as spectacular. Internodal spacing remains tight, structure is clean, and the plant shows no signs of stress, deficiency, or imbalance. Autoflower vs Photoperiod Behavior Even though GMO Cookies is an autoflower and has been run 12/12 from seed, she continues to challenge expectations. At this point, it’s still difficult to clearly distinguish behavioral differences between autos and photoperiods in this room. Everything is moving: • At the same rhythm • At the same pace • Under the same conditions This reinforces an important observation: environmental consistency often outweighs genetic labels, especially early on. ⸻ 📸 Photo Session & Documentation This week, GMO Cookies was briefly removed for a dedicated photo session using an improvised studio setup. Photography setup highlights: • Sony A6700 camera • iPad used as a remote control and live viewer • Controlled backlighting for leaf detail and depth • Full camera control (aperture, ISO, settings) without touching the camera This approach eliminates camera shake and allows for precise adjustments on the fly — crucial for capturing clean, sharp images, especially when documenting fine leaf texture and color. Since these images are being shared publicly, it felt important to be transparent about the process behind them. ⸻ Environment — Room Conditions (Week 3) • Photoperiod: 12/12 from seed • Day temperature: ~26 °C • Night temperature: ~18 °C • Relative Humidity: 60–65% • Airflow: Gentle, constant, non-stressful • Solution temperature: ~21 °C • Substrate temperature: ~21 °C Everything remains stable and dialed in, allowing the plants to focus fully on root and vegetative development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting • PPFD: ~600–700 (adjusted to plant size) • Plants continue to grow into the light naturally, with no stretch or light stress observed. • Incremental increases are proving effective and well-tolerated. ⸻ 💧 Watering & Nutrition • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.0 Nutrient program: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal Foliar: • Vita Race • Applied selectively and intentionally, not on a rigid schedule This combination continues to support strong root activity, clean metabolism, and vibrant vegetative growth. ⸻ 🔍 What to Expect / What Not to Expect (Week 4) What to expect: • Continued vegetative expansion • Further node stacking • Increasing leaf mass and photosynthetic capacity What not to expect (yet): • No flowering initiation • No sudden stretch • No need to push inputs or change rhythm Patience remains key. The plant is clearly still building its foundation. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 3 confirms that GMO Cookies is happy, stable, and well-adapted to this setup. There is no rush, no force, and no correction needed — just observation and consistency. Same rhythm. Same environment. Same respect for the process.

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.

As my second Viperspectra light hasn't arrived yet, I've temporarily supplemented with my old red/blue LED grow lights (likely best for veg only) from China.

WEEK 6/3F // D36/15F - D42/21F Das Wetter war in dieser Woche ein Traum. Es waren Tagsüber 25-30°C, 10-14 Stunden Sonne, kaum Wolken und kein Regen. Besser hätten es die Guava in dieser Woche nicht haben können. Nachdem ich im letzten Jahr schon dabei war von einigen Ladys einige Triebe wegzuschneiden weil sie durch das Nass/feuchte/neblige Wetter von Mehltau oder auch Schimmel in der späteren Blüte betroffen waren und ich letztendlich über die letzte Outdoorsaison bestimmt die Hälfte vom Outdoor-Grow in die Biotonne geworfen habe, bin ich zurzeit einfach nur happy wie die Outdoorsaison 2025 beginnt und verläuft. Gegossen wurde an Tag 38/17F, an Tag39/18F, an Tag40/19F und an Tag42/21F. An den Tagen gab es ca 1L. Der ph-Wert beim gießen wird aufgrund des hohen Anteils vom Cocos im Substrat (50/50) nicht höher 6.3. Höhe 80 cm

Disclaimer: This is the second plant go back a week to see a purple wonder full of fantastic trichomes that you can't miss. Let's be clear this Slurricane is a masterpiece of genetics, this time in a "normal" green color but still full of yield and with very high quality buds. It seems once again to be in California with Snoop making Bluntz of Slurricane. Technique used // In this case we only cleaned the plant at the bottom and let it grow free and happy to preserve the main cola. Better with the techniques or normally? This time we have two very different phenotypes, a plant with medium internodal distance. This time I prefer the purple plant worked with the techniques is breathtaking. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 10. The plant has an abundant resin it really seems to see the best Californian flowers. I'm not kidding. They are combative flowers, they will probably go to some competition, so we washed the buds. If you don't know how to do it, there is a great article on Zamnesia. Read the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizzanti// I am quite satisfied with how I managed to clean the plant, I did two big flushes of 50 liters and let it run and then just watered for a few days. It discolored a little but it was time to harvest, I gave 52 hours of darkness. For the reasons mentioned above and for a great taste I prefer organic. All Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green/100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose the soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother, if you are a stubborn "I don't put anything in it" type, use additives, listen every now and then... and then come and tell me. Fertilizers, on the other hand, are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is truly exceptionally Californian; usually plants bred by Europeans don't look that Californian, not this one. --- https://www.zamnesia.com/11177-zamnesia-seeds-slurricane.html Zamnesia Description // Slurricane is a premium US strain, created by In House Genetics and now available to all growers thanks to the breeding processes implemented by Zamnesia. Born from the fusion of Purple Punch and Do-Si-Dos, Slurricane is 60% indica and is incredibly vigorous. Whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, this strain is capable of producing large quantities of dense and aromatic buds. Add Slurricane to your assortment and enjoy growing one of the most beloved hybrids in the United States. Slurricane seeds quickly produce very robust specimens with an extraordinarily solid structure. Vegetative plants develop a massive stem, with large fan leaves and a tight internodal spacing. Thanks to their resistance and thick foliage, they are ideal for training techniques. Opening a jar full of Slurricane buds will make your mouth water: this strain produces dense, fragrant and resinous buds that will win over even the most demanding cannabis enthusiasts! After curing, the flowers retain a marbled texture, with sparkling trichomes covering the inside and outside. The aromas are sweet and spicy, with clear notes of berries. With 28% THC, Slurricane produces a vigorous effect. Consuming it in the evening hours will make you feel pleasantly numb on a physical level and enveloping vibrations, useful for promoting sleep. Music and Frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432 Hz frequencies created specifically for their well-being and, sometimes, a little black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is on ---- www.zamnesia.com

So in just the last week, the plants already doubled. GSC went from 11 to 22". Widow went from 8 to 14". Gelat.og went from 10 to 18". GSC seems to want to grow up quickly. Huge growth spurt. Flowered after 3 days. Flowers are developing well meanwhile the other two are just showing a few tendrils. Hopefully an uneventful week.

the second week passed smoothly and without any problems, maybe the temperature is a bit high during the day, because Summer is not going away and it's 30+ outside, so it's normal that it's 28 ° in the tent, but everything looks good :) good luck to everyone:).

Day 22 - Rolling into week 4 looking mean and green! 💪 I need to make a decision on what kind of training I want to dish out to this lady. She's growing a bit faster than her tent mates. Day 23 - Always experimenting - today I begin my first mainline! I've already built the foundation by allowing the plant to grow to 6 nodes, as recommended by the tutorial I followed by the brilliant Miss Nebula Haze @growweedeasy. My next step is documented here in a video, as I take my lush, happy, healthy plant, and give her the kind of haircut that makes you want to storm out of the salon without leaving a tip. 😂 I even managed to get in my signature branch snap early in the game - being held together now with duct tape. 🤦‍♀️ In all seriousness though, I'm thrilled to be trying this out, despite the agony of cutting down my plant to nothing but a stump and antennae. I've seen some great growers create some serious masterpieces using this method, and damn it my curiosity is taking control! Here's to learning something new! Day 27 - Came home from vacation to find that my plant had hulked through the duct tape that held her snapped branch together... I guess she's doing well. ☺️ Over the course of the past few days her branches have gotten notably thicker! 💪 Day 28 - Now that each new main stem has grown out, I removed all the growth tips from below the 3rd node on each side. I left the fan leaves in tact to give plant access to extra energy as she pushes through this intense training. I softened the branches with my fingers, very slowly, to tie down my new main stems horizontally across the net basket. I took a sterilized x-acto knife to then top each of my two main stems at the 3rd node on each side, leaving me with a beautifully symmetrical base to my masterpiece.
