Cosmic Noodles ā Week 4 Report (Draft Framework)
1. Week 4 Context (12/12 Cycle)
⢠Plants are now well established structurally.
⢠Stretch is active but controlled.
⢠Environment remains stable and unchanged, which is clearly paying off.
āø»
2. Training Progression (End of Week 3 ā Week 4)
End of Last Week
⢠Introduced gentle lateral bending using light wire.
⢠Goal: break apical dominance early without inducing stress.
⢠Response: immediate redirection of growth, no negative reactions observed.
This Week (Week 4)
⢠Introduced metal clamps to reinforce and stabilize bends.
⢠Purpose:
⢠Hold branches closer to horizontal / toward the floor
⢠Encourage more even stretch and node activation
⢠Maintain structure without repeated manual adjustment
⢠Training intensity remains controlled and intentional, not aggressive.
š Important note for education:
This is guidance, not force. Plants are being shown where to grow, not pushed.

3. Plant Response & Vigor
⢠Overall health: Exceptional
⢠Lush green coloration
⢠Fast growth rate
⢠No stress markers (no clawing, no discoloration, no leaf deformation)
⢠Training response:
⢠Trained plants are accelerating growth and showing earlier developmental cues.
⢠Untrained / lightly trained plants remain relaxed and expressive.
⢠Leaf management:
⢠Only gentle leaf tucking
⢠No defoliation at this stage
⢠Inner node spacing remains excellent, so intervention is unnecessary.
āø»
4. Pre-Flower Observations (Very Important)
⢠The plant grown in the plastic recipient pot, which experienced:
⢠A different early light behavior
⢠Slight vegetative overlap
⢠More active training
ā”ļø Is showing early pre-flower signs.
This is not surprising and is actually educationally valuable:
⢠Training + structural stress (positive stress) often accelerates maturity signals.
⢠Slight differences in early light exposure can shift hormonal timing.
Meanwhile:
⢠12/12 from seed plants
⢠Still in a clean transitional phase
⢠No visible pre-flower yet
⢠Strong branching (notably under ~6 nodes with good lateral expression)
⢠Internodal spacing is ideal
⢠Development is uniform and calm
This staggered response is normal and healthy, not a concern.
āø»
5. Nutrition & Environment (Week 4)
⢠Nutrition:
⢠Same recipe
⢠Same measurements
⢠No changes introduced
⢠Plants are responding beautifully, so stability is prioritized.
⢠Flower nutrition:
⢠Not yet introduced.
⢠Decision point clearly defined:
⢠Full transition only once the entire room enters pre-flower / flower.
⢠If a few plants advance earlier, a localized, light flower feed patch may be applied ā cautiously and intentionally.
This shows discipline, which is what separates dialed grows from reactive ones.
⢠Room temperatures:
⢠Stable
⢠Supporting vigorous metabolism without stress
⢠No signs of heat or cold response in leaf posture
āø»
6. Grower Philosophy (This Weekās Key Message)
āEverything is the same because everything is working.ā
This is one of the strongest educational points you can make:
⢠No chasing symptoms
⢠No premature feeding changes
⢠Letting genetics + environment express naturally
āø»
7. Outlook for Week 5
⢠Expect wider pre-flower expression across the room.
⢠Training effects will become more visible in canopy distribution.
⢠Nutrition transition will be timed, not rushed.

šø Photography Equipment & Tools
(Not sponsors, but part of my creative toolkit)
⢠Sony A6700
⢠Sony full-frame macro lens + few more
⢠Stacking photography workflow - learning
⢠iPhone (for behind-the-scenes shots)
Weāve got much more coming as we move through the grow cycles. Trust me, you wonāt want to miss the next steps, letās push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together!
As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Letās 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.
š Growers love to all š
šø P.S. ā The Eye Behind the Lens
All photos in this diary (for now ā 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 ā itās how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words canāt always capture.
Iāve also started experimenting with photo stacking ā 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.
Itās not digital enhancement or AI; itās pure photography ā a way to reveal the plantās beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal.
Youāll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots ā camera, lens, setup ā because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.
