This first week in flower was a bit more exciting than previous weeks. I decided to put in a scrog net to help spread and even out the canopy. So naturally, I 3D-printed one. (Yes, I can be that nerdy.) Besides, it was the quickest and easiest solution as I don't like the stretchy-net kind so need a frame. Much easier to download a file and press print :D Installing it was a breeze and I also cleared away most branches and leaves below the screen. The stuff that won't make it above the screen and will just result in a bunch of larf. I'm still seeing chlorosis (which I suspect has to do with her transitioning into flower and stretching), so I gave her a bit of Orgatrex and Bactrex. Next week, I'll start feeding her PK booster. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– This grow is generously sponsored by Bio Tabs Bio Tabs is an organic growing system that uses slow-release tablets of beneficial microbes, mycorrhizal fungi, and nutrients to create living soil that feeds plants naturally throughout their growth cycle.

En el ultimo riego con producto he bajado la dosis de A + B, he notado síntomas de sobrefertilización en una de las plantas. Se les ha aplicado defoliación quitando el 80% de hojas para facilitar que llegue la luz a los puntos más bajos.

Zkittlez #1 has been building some nice bud structure and is starting to smell really nice up close. Zkittlez #2 has seemed to stop stretching as much measuring at 3 ft 5 for now can't raise the light an more so hopefully that will be the end of the stretch and time for her to focus on bud structure. There are lots of bud sites building on her too many to count now which is a brilliant thing to say XD. The 2 pineapple chunk photoperiods are still developing nicely in their negative state and have been undergoing L.S.T to keep the canopy low and even. planning to do a 100 day veg on them (hopefully just enough time for both Zkittlez to mature and then harvest) and then FLIP! starting to give all plants a weekly spray of Canna-cure to help prevent any infestations.

She had a great week! Not too much bud development, but seeing that she's mostly sativa, and I'm only really seeing a couple of brown pistils, I'm fine with her taking her sweet time! On Day 73 (39 flower) I installed a small co2 bag above my circulating fan; not sure how well it'll work, but a couple of my taller colas have been a little too close to my light but I didn't want to raise the Lumatek because I was getting really good amounts of light on the entire rest of the plant. Her colas are all super impressive and long. I really cannot wait to see how they turn out. I'm thinking 2/3 more weeks but who knows! Not much else to say really, she's getting really frosty as you can see from the pictures, other than that I'm just waiting for her to fatten up & ripen. Really wishing I did an indica strain but this seed was all I had as it was left over from my pops' last seed order. Oh well, I have the experience now and this is still gonna be a fucking banging smoke. Stay high people 🙌👽 Happy growing! KIZ p.s. i know that's a lot of pics

🌌 Folder #2 — Cosmic Noodles Week 3 Update — Technique, Response, Momentum First of all — thank you to everyone following this diary. This space exists to document real-time learning, real decisions, and real plant responses — and this week gave us a lot of material. Cosmic Noodles continues to impress. ⸻ 🌱 Plant B — 2 Weeks Veg → Guided Expansion still an autoflower This plant is moving fast, confidently, and with intention. Her growth this week was so strong that I made the decision to begin structured low-stress training, not to restrict her, but to open her up. 🔧 Training Method (Accurately Explained) This was a progressive process, not a single action: 1️⃣ Leaf Tucking (Start of the Week) • Larger fan leaves gently tucked under • Objective: • expose inner growth • encourage branch development • allow light to reach lower nodes This alone already triggered visible response. ⸻ 2️⃣ Directional Bending (Mid-Week) As growth accelerated, I moved from leaf work to branch positioning. • Branches were gently pulled outward • Secured using soft, green-coated wire • Wire anchored directly into the soil and pot edge • No rigid clips, no plastic clamps The wire is: • flexible • forgiving • adjustable allowing the plant to move while still being guided. ⸻ 3️⃣ Anchoring & Holding Space (End of Week) As branches continued to push hard, I introduced U-shaped wire anchors, pinched into the soil. Important clarification: • These are wired anchors, not plastic clamps • They hold branches down toward the soil • Purpose: keep the canopy open and horizontal • Result: light penetration everywhere This is not about forcing shape — it’s about creating room for expression. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Response Her reaction has been nothing short of outstanding. • Branches: Already pushing into the 6th–7th branch • Stress response: None observed • Vigor: Extremely high • Growth speed: Fast, confident, continuous She didn’t slow down. She leaned into it. This plant is healthy, driven, and clearly enjoying the guidance. Next week is going to be something special. ⸻ 🌱 Plant A — 12/12 From Seed (Autoflower) Running alongside her is Plant A, grown 12/12 from seed, and she continues to behave beautifully. • Leaf stage: • Third pair fully developed • Fourth pair coming in • Structure: Compact, balanced, composed • Behavior: Calm, steady, almost photoperiod-like Once again, it raises the question: Are these autoflowers acting like photoperiods? Or are photoperiods acting like autos? No answers yet — just fascination and respect. ⸻ 💡 Light Intensity & PPFD Response This week, PPFD was increased, continuing the controlled progression already established in the room. Key observations: • Autoflowers are responding exceptionally well • Leaf posture remains strong • Color remains healthy • No stress indicators present This reinforces that progressive PPFD increases, when done patiently, can be extremely effective — even with autoflowers. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not To) Expect: • Rapid structural development on Plant B • Even canopy formation as wire training settles • Continued confident growth across both timelines Do NOT expect: • Forced conclusions • Rushed flowering assumptions • Heavy-handed intervention We observe. We assist. We let the plant lead. ⸻ 🙏 Closing This week was a reminder of why technique matters — and why precision in documentation matters just as much. Thank you to everyone following along. More to come — and next week, keep your eyes on Plant B.

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.

During the middle of this week I decided to stop the outward training of the branches & the allow vertical growth for beginning bud site formation . I don’t want to miss the beginning flower stretch kinda need it 😂. Decided to break the apical dominance of the main stem by LST’ing down . I noticed it was leagues ahead of the rest of the plant because it hung over the side of the pot so since I need to start slowing it’s vertical growth I figure now Is also time to get the rest of the canopy to catch up leaving me to space things accordingly later when/if necessary . Also decided to go ahead and do my 1st & last additional feeding since these girls where planted all I’ve had to do this grow was water when dry & train her to the best of my abilities. Week 6 on the GreenSceene in the books 📚 thanks for stopping by .

In the last week, smell changed. Very nice odour coming out of the tent every time I open it. Cause of issue with very high ppm in last week watering I decided to water once with only 200 ppm water with a bit of calmag (runoff 1700) and second 500 ppm watering with only flowering nutrients 4 mL BioBloom and 2 ml TopMax ( runoff 1000 ppm) So ppm issue seems resolved and I'll try to aim for 1000 ppm for next watering.

Flowering day 22 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) Another great week that is over. They all develop exactly as it should be 💚. Since the last leaf and substrate application against tripse, I finally haven't seen any of the little biters 👍. Watering was done twice this week with 1.3 l each time (see table above for nutrients). The lowest shoots were removed so that the energy is not wasted in the lower part :-) . Otherwise, as always, everything was cleaned and checked. Fresh osmosis water was filled with stale tap water in a 100 L tank for the coming week 👍.

Seriously fruity and frosty strain I’d definitely recommend to anyone, for my third and fourth pants I’m really happy with how they turned out however some issues could have been avoided and I could’ve done a better job myself but overall I’m pretty pleased and a round of applause to Fastbuds 💚

So I started LST and the girls seem to be responding well to the method. It has now been 4 weeks since the sprout and am I very excited. Might continue veg until it's eighth week and then switch to flowering.

Update: All 3 seeds broke ground on May 20. Ready to see these babies grow big and beautiful. Germ Day 1: Today I decided to plant 3 Fast Buds Afghan Kush Auto. I mixed the Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 with a couple tbsp of mychorrizae and crushed egg shells into 5 gal of sunshine #4 which is predominantly a peat based media. I watered around the seed thoroughly. I am using the sponsored Vipar Spectra XS2000 and think it will be awesome for these auto flowers. It’s a super strong light with an awesome spectrum. I have it set at 30% at 34”. I’m excited to see how this combo works. I’ve seen great things from each part and looking forward to a great result together. Happy Growing 🌱

3 weeks into flower and all seem to be doing very well, getting a nice smell now when i open my tent, can not wait till these are ready to harvest, started to frost up now and all covered in trichomes, impressed with both the mimosa evo and tropicana banana upto now both seem to be forming nice dense flowers and the both strains have grew well from the start other than my wrong doing giving them a early shock and stunting them but theyve bounced back lovely and from how its looking its going to produce some nice smoke, cant wait thanks again barneys for suppyling me them to test out and create a diary on, see you next week for the latest update 👊

Growing for seed but will use weed for concentrates ( hashish)😁 06/06/2018 Begin 11.5 - 12.5 light schedule, try to get buds fattened up looking for heavy crop of seeds. Also looking at trichomes for maturity, get as many ripe seeds as possible. Ps.found first fully ripe seed today!👍

2024-10-18 The le Plants do a super job. spreading the semen into the feale Flowers absolutely extiting BE a Breeder", is one of Doctor´s Choices Motto. Regular Seeds Seeds germinate- A backcross from Chronic Ryder_ BREEDER INFO LEGEND We’re so proud of our latest drop - Chronic Ryder regular - as it results from a hardworking breeding process. We used an original Chronic male plant from Serious Seeds and backcrossed it with our Chronic Ryder from Sasha The Joint Doctor’s private collection to receive the Chronic Fast F1 BX Regular. By crossing 2 Chronic Ryder F3 lines, L1 and L2 from the same parents, we have created a new hybrid line. Well, it seems like it should be an F4 hybrid, but it's incorrect to name so. This process is called interline breeding, which means the cross of 2 lines. This cross allowed us, over several generations, to get a fully automatic Chronic Ryder that predominates its parents by 25% in key characteristics. Chronic Ryder is also available in feminized variety. GROWING Chronic Ryder regular shows the best performance of parents’ heritage. It grows into a uniform and compact plant that rarely exceeds 1m in height. Thanks to its compact size it is better grown in small spaces, terraces, and balconies and is quite suitable for stealth growing. The plant forms a single huge central bud cola with few side branches. Fatty and frosty buds will be ready to harvest in 70-75 days from germination. You’ll be truly surprised how big and dense buds are - the nice and fruity smell adds extra pleasure. The short growing period and strong resistance are other strong points of the strain. Chronic Ryder regular would be a great choice for growing outdoors with short summers - you’ll get your guaranteed high-quality yield in any case. Be ready to harvest up to 500 g/m2 indoors and 50-100 g per plant outdoors. TASTE and EFFECT Chronic Ryder regular has a nice taste - fruity and citrus tones complement one another, giving an unforgettable aftertaste. The effect is mild and doesn’t hit you like a hammer - the perfect choice for novice smokers. It brings balanced high and stone effects. Thanks to it, Chronic Ryder is a good smoke that calms your body, giving a strong body relaxation for a long time. CHARACTERISTICS Autoflowering: Yes Type: Regular | Autoflowering Room: Indoor | Outdoor | Greenhouse Genotype: Hybrid Genetics: (Serious Seeds) Chronic BX Chronic Ryder Finish time: 70-75 days from seed Indoor: Productivity: 500 g/m2 Height: 60 - 80 cm Outdoor: Productivity: 50-100 g/plant Height: 60 - 80 cm THC: High Flavour: Citrus | fruity | apricot Effect: Balanced high and stone | daytime | giggly
