Week 4: We are officially one month into our grow! things have been going pretty smooth so far and that’s exciting!! Yesterday we picked up our Gaia Green 4-4-4. With that and the topping done, we plan to give them the week to recover and then start LST and feeding. You’ll notice a large number of plants were moved outside… those were all auto seeds that we got for free from Seedsman and Perry’s Magic Beans (Northern Lights, Critical + 2.0, M+M, and High C) shout out to them!!

Animal Mints — Legends of the Frozen North Week 8 from Seed | Week 4 Flower Another chapter unfolds in the frozen north. For anyone joining this diary now, here is a quick recap of how we arrived here. This run explores Animal Mints grown primarily under a 12/12 cycle from seed, allowing the plants to naturally express their structure while moving efficiently into flowering. Most of the plants followed this path from the beginning, with one small exception in the room — a plant that spent about two weeks in vegetative light before joining the 12/12 cycle. Interestingly, that plant ended up being the smallest of the group, showing how genetics and environmental response can sometimes surprise us. But despite those differences, the room now feels unified. The canopy is alive, vibrant, and moving together into the deeper stages of flowering. This week has been a big one. With more than 300 photos captured, the goal was to document every angle of development — structure, branching, flower sites, and canopy behavior — as the plants continue their journey through bloom. ⸻ Environmental Snapshot The room is currently running with fairly aggressive parameters, but supported by strong airflow and active air exchange. Current conditions • Canopy temperature: ~28°C (gradually tapering toward 26°C) • Relative humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing toward ~60%) • CO₂: 1000+ ppm through passive enrichment • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol across the canopy These values are slightly on the upper edge of traditional recommendations, but with strong airflow and healthy transpiration, the plants are responding very well. Air movement remains one of the most important elements in this environment. The goal over the next weeks will be to gradually tighten the climate window as flowers develop further. ⸻ Light Strategy The lighting across the canopy currently ranges between: 800 and 1300 PPFD This allows the plants to maintain strong metabolic activity without excessive stress during early flower development. Additionally, we run a 15-minute red light pulse after lights off. This small far-red window helps accelerate the phytochrome transition between light cycles, effectively signaling nightfall to the plants and assisting the flowering rhythm. It is a subtle adjustment, but one that helps maintain consistent flowering signals. ⸻ Under-Canopy Lighting One of the key elements of this room is the use of under-canopy lighting. As plants grow bushier and develop dense foliage, the lower zones of the plant often receive very little light. Under-canopy lighting helps: • increase light penetration to lower bud sites • reduce excessive shading • maintain photosynthetic activity deeper into the plant • improve overall bud development throughout the structure Combined with careful defoliation and strong airflow, this approach helps keep the entire plant active rather than only the top canopy. ⸻ Airflow — The Invisible Engine Airflow is one of the most underestimated tools in indoor cultivation. In this room we rely heavily on constant air circulation and active air exchange. This helps: • regulate leaf temperature • support transpiration • prevent humidity pockets inside the canopy • strengthen plant structure • reduce risk of fungal pressure Plants are living organisms interacting with their environment, and air movement is part of that conversation. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The plants are currently feeding very actively. Feed EC: ~2.4 Soil EC: ~0.9 This indicates that the plants are absorbing nutrients efficiently from the medium. As long as the plants continue eating and the runoff remains stable, the feeding program stays consistent. If nutrient uptake slows or runoff EC begins climbing, adjustments will be made accordingly. For now, the system remains balanced and responsive. ⸻ Nutrient Recipe Current weekly top feed includes: • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom (base nutrient) • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar where applicable) At this stage of flowering, foliar applications are used sparingly. Once flowers begin forming, keeping the canopy dry becomes increasingly important. ⸻ Why Add Power Buds + Green Sensation As plants transition fully into the flowering stage, the goal shifts from structural growth toward flower formation and metabolic support. Power Buds helps stimulate the plant’s flowering response and encourages the development of early bud sites. Green Sensation acts as a metabolic enhancer, supporting: • bud density • terpene production • nutrient transport • overall plant energy during bloom Together, these additives help guide the plant’s resources toward productive flower development. ⸻ Mixing Order — Why It Matters One of the small details that can make a big difference in nutrient stability is the order of mixing. Our mixing process always follows the same structure: 1. CalMag Pro first 2. Base nutrient (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives CalMag is added first until the base EC reaches around 0.7. This creates a stable mineral foundation for the rest of the solution. After that the base nutrient and additives are introduced gradually. Proper mixing order helps prevent nutrient precipitation and instability, keeping the solution balanced and available for the plants. In simple terms: Chemistry matters. ⸻ Defoliation Update This week also included selective defoliation. Some plants had not yet received any canopy thinning, and their structure had become quite dense. Those plants were defoliated more deeply than the others to restore: • airflow inside the canopy • light penetration • structural balance Despite the heavier pruning, the plants responded beautifully. Leaves remain vibrant, growth continues strong, and the canopy quickly reorganizes itself. ⸻ Structural Observations Across the room, the Animal Mints plants show distinct structural expressions. Some lean toward tighter node spacing and compact branching, while others stretch slightly more. These differences highlight the diversity within the genetic expression of the cultivar. Yet despite those differences, all plants are developing healthy flower sites and strong green foliage. ⸻ What To Expect Next Over the next weeks we expect: • vertical stretch slowing down • bud stacking intensifying • resin development beginning • stronger aroma expression Environmental parameters will gradually shift toward slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity as flowers continue forming. The focus will remain on airflow, canopy balance, and metabolic stability. ⸻ Gratitude Before closing this update, a moment of appreciation. To the long-time followers, the OG readers, the new growers discovering this diary, the skeptics, the critics, the silent observers, and everyone who spends time following these plants. Thank you. Gratitude as well to: • the platform hosting these diaries • the sponsors supporting the work • the genetics that make these explorations possible • and everyone contributing to the community.

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.

Letztendlich gute Ernte, auch wenn ich ein paar Probleme mit der Temperatur hatte.

Week 6/5 - 12/5 Next week 50L of water to flush.

Einige Triebe wurden nun durch reiben und drücken umgeknickt(HST) weil sie aus dem Netz rausgewachsen ist und ich unbedingt das höhenwachstum eindämmen muss, da die Pflanze noch ihren Stretch machen wird und ich sonst keinen Abstand zur Lampe bekomme. In der ersten Woche deutliche Veränderung des Wachstumbildes, die ersten weißen Härchen sind erkennbar. Biobizz Bloom und TopMax werden ab jetzt auch hinzugefügt.

Nothing to exciting this week, plants are doing well. Little bit of stretching going on and starting to smell more and more now. The newer growth is a bit lighter in shades of green then the old stuff. I think this is from me dividing the flowering nutrients into 4 weeks vs all at once as they tend to get a bit of N tox when I give it all at once so this seems to be doing better. Clones are same old, just waiting for the weather to get nice. Found out that when I use Insect Frass as a fertilizer it's also adding in chitin "a protein found in bugs, crustaceans and fungi" to the soil, when that stuff breaks down it makes chitosan and that can help boost defences against pests and virus in the plant. There are plant additives out their that are pure chitosan in varying concentrations and they use this to make the buds extra frosty. To much can harm the plant though. I also found out I needed to water them a bit more then normal not that the stretch is happening. so they got 6L this week each vs the regular 4L but it was split up in 3 days. In the first bit they got all the additives i normally do and the other bit was just PH'd water, didn't want to over load em. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

This plant has been my strongest/largest from the gate, so no surprise she was my biggest yielder! Incredibly strong/resilient from the start, however everything seemed to just go right for this plant. Lots of defoliation and attention helped cultivate dense medium-large nugs that certainly pack a punch! Very flavorful, and amazing aroma. I will definitely be growing this strain again!

Día 19 de flora: Los cogollos van tomando forma, las plantas han estancado un poco su crecimiento y comenzado a engordar, se riega cada 2 días con 1 litro por planta, también se realiza constante defoliación para que le llegue más luz a las flores y esta semana comencé a utilizar tabletas de co2 en el aire.

Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-18. Week 8 day 56 from germination. She is 33 cm high and really frosty and have nice buds. Maxed the nutes and hope she will grow a little more in the buds. Added video and pics. Its getting close to harvest i think.

Sooo, They Broke Ground On May 4th After Germinating On The 1st, Forward To Day 3 And These Babies Seem Happy With Their Environment And The 20/4 Light Cycle

Hi Growmies Another week of flowering behind us and 3 weeks to the finish post and fruity highs They have all been productive in the flowering this week with plenty of nice fluffy pistils springing up daily now. They are also producing a very sweet smell when I open the tent too. A nice fruity terp indeed. They have been performing excellent from seed and with no concerns at all for their genetics, it is all about what the new additions to my feeding schedule can do. So far the results do seem to support the flower production claim with lots of fresh sites throughout the canopy, thankfully they have also not created wide spacing between the flower sets either so could hopefully become long chunky colas. Using the viparspectra and it's great specs for just the 3 plants has also been a new thing for me to try instead of the crammed in 6 plants. No issues to report around bugs or deficiency still and with the dehumidifier on the case , hopefully no mould spores will show up either. Until next time , be lucky and keep it green

Our Zamnesia Georgia Pie #1 is almost ready. I harvested one of her taller, slightly disproportionate little sisters without the aid of any techniques. This one was mainfolded and is very balanced and regular. The flowers are firm and resinous, not very large in the cluster style of any genetic, which doesn't mean it requires less attention; these flowers are usually very heavy. I'm using a 20-liter airpot. Techniques chosen: the plant was topped with 16 toppings, and almost everything seems in place. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we've chosen is the recently released Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get off to a good start. Now, however, we're at the end of the day, so let's wash the soil to reuse it with a flush, which everyone says is useless lately. I love washing the soil anyway, and I listen to the debate from a distance. There are too many fake debunkers and bad advisors these days. Gain experience and listen above all to her. Choose your favorite style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is now at 80% power.

Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11085-zamnesia-georgia-pie-semi.html Z - Spice up your grow with this delicious US hybrid. Originally developed in San Francisco, Zamnesia breeders worked hard to trace and stabilize the Gelatti x Kush Mints genetic line that gave rise to the original Georgia Pie. The result? A 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid that grows beautifully both indoors and outdoors, quickly producing dense buds with deliciously sweet terpenes and a powerful effect. Combining the genetics of two fantastic parent strains (Gelatti and Kush Mints), Georgia Pie is both productive and easy to grow. During the vegetative stage, plants grow vigorously, developing moderately spaced internodes and fairly broad fan leaves. Expect noticeable stretch during the transition to flowering: mature plants can reach 130 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors, with numerous side branches that will develop large buds. Thanks to its exuberant leaf growth, Georgia Pie responds very well to regular pruning, defoliation, and training. These interventions will open up the plant's canopy, exposing even the lowest buds to light. Indoors, Georgia Pie typically requires 8-10 weeks of flowering to produce up to 500 g/m², while outdoors, plants are generally ready for harvest around mid-October, producing up to 500 g/plant. You know it, but I recommend it: here you will find so many wonderful things, practically "all the best that nature has to offer."

🌿 Week 10: The Final Countdown & The Autumn Fade 🍂 The Vibe: We’ve officially entered double digits! The tent is a jungle of smells, and the air is thick with a mix of sweet pineapple, heavy cream, and that funky cheese undertone. Most of the white pistils have now tucked in or turned orange/brown, and the plants are starting to pull mobile nutrients from the larger fan leaves the "autumn fade" is officially here! The Ladies: Pineapple Express F1: Still the undisputed Queen 👑. Her main colas are rock hard and coated in a sticky layer of resin. She’s starting to show some beautiful purple/yellow hues in her fan leaves as she nears the finish line. White Runtz: The "Chonk" of the tent! 🍩 Even though she the tallest girl is the tent, her bud density is incredible. The frost on the Runtz is next level it looks like she’s been dipped in sugar.(And she is now drying) Blue Cheese F1: My little rebel. 🧀 She stayed compact and "boujee" with her 3-fingered leaves until the end, but don't let her size fool you the smell coming off her is the most pungent in the tent. She’s finally stopped that weird side-branch stretching and is putting all her energy into ripening those dense little nuggets. Care & Nutrients: Feeding: This is the last week of full nutrients. I’m still using the Bio-Bloom and Top-Max combo, but I’ve started tapering down the Fish-Mix and TNT Complex to let the plants use up their stored nitrogen. Watering: They are thirsty! I’m still giving about 1L per plant every other day, ensuring the pH stays steady at 5.5-6.0 to avoid any late-stage lockouts. Environment: Keeping the humidity lower (around 45-50%) now to prevent any bud rot issues since the flowers are so dense. Temperatures are steady at 27°C lights on. Next Steps: It’s all about the jeweler's loupe now. I’m checking trichomes daily. We are looking for that perfect 10-20% amber ratio before we start the final flush. It won’t be long now! Question for the Growmies: Do you prefer to harvest when trichomes are all cloudy for a "heady" high, or do you wait for more amber for that "couch-lock" feel? Let me know below! 👇

Moby 2.0 : El que se ganó el lugar para florar en hidro el único de todos sus hmnos recibió un cambio de solución y paso a estar 12/12. Le había realizado una desfoliacion así que ya estaba preparado para la pre flora... Trillisos Peones : Son 3 esquejes qué trasplante con tierra reciclada ya que no tenía para comprar como ya menciones en la semana anterior luego le agregue arriba un poco de sustrato nuevo hay 1 que se destaca va más avanzado, Cabe destacar que los mismos como estaban de hace bastante y por la edad que tienen ya estaban creando flor en sus pequeñas maletas por lo que decidí cambiarlos de urgencia y ponerlos a florar para sumar más producto final...

I absolutely love this plant! Very impressed. Apologies for the trichrome pictures and video... new magnifier... stay lifted growmies!

So big update ! Entering week 3 of flowering for this beautiful Purple Punch by Barneys Farm ! Ive got to say i am very impressed of the results, hoping i get a medium to high yield with her, as for the Fastbuds mystery seed it is slower but has beautiful traits on the leafs compared to the purple punch, im keeping her to see what will happen ! Happy growing

Started soaking purple lemonade autoflower from fast buds on 5/17 Placed in damp paper towel with some great white for 2 days till taproot got decent size then planted into coco She popped up in coco 2 days later on 5/23 an has been doing good She's growing good comming up ending week 1 of seedling stage Begining week 2 of seedling the Purple Lemonade is doing good she sprouted missing a leaf in one side but grew the next set perfect so hoping she keeps on the good path
