🌱 WEEKLY REPORT — 12/12 From Seed Light Shuttle Run A New Experimental Cycle Filled With Vigor, Authenticity & Community Love This week marks the launch of our 12/12 from seed light shuttle experiment, an intentional departure from traditional cycles to explore how early flowering signals influence structure, energy distribution, and overall expression. It’s a fresh chapter, and already the project feels alive with momentum. ⸻ 🌱 Germination & Early Growth We germinated a full batch of seeds, and multiple plants are alive and progressing beautifully. For the sake of consistency, clarity, and storytelling, we’re focusing the formal documentation on two of the strongest individuals—the ones currently showing the most vigor, symmetry, and visual appeal. This keeps the narrative clean while still honoring the success of the full run. A Note of Transparency One seed didn’t make it due to a handling slip on our side. Not an environmental issue—just human. And that’s okay. Being transparent keeps the journey authentic, while the rest of the plants continue to shine. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains controlled and supportive: • Humidity: 75–80% • Temperature: ~28°C • Light Cycle: 12/12 from seed (experimental shuttle approach) These conditions have fostered healthy early development, vibrant coloration, and confident structural initiation. ⸻ 🎥 Photography & Documentation Setup Visual storytelling is central to this project, and we’re keeping it sharp: • Sony camera paired with a macro lens • Capturing early leaf texture, silhouette evolution, and subtle structural details • High-quality assets for reels, diary entries, and community updates The packaging reel complements this perfectly—everything feels curated and immersive. ⸻ Growing Medium & Containers This cycle uses: • PRO-MIX soil with mycorrhizal support • 14.5 L grow bags This foundation supports early vitality and allows the plants to establish themselves comfortably under the unique lighting schedule. ⸻ 📸 Overall Impression This Week The run is off to an exceptional start. Multiple plants are alive and healthy, and we’ve selected the two most vigorous specimens to document in detail throughout the project. Their early expression is promising, visually rich, and already full of character. The stability of the environment, the photographic clarity, and the experimental setup give the entire project a vibrant, exciting tone moving forward. ⸻ 💚 Community, Gratitude & Acknowledgment As always, none of this exists in isolation.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s 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. 💚 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 A6000 (for now A6700 will be doing all future updates) 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.

To keep the documentation complete and transparent, those images are now being uploaded together with the rest of this week’s photos. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to follow the journey so closely.
