At the beginning, the focus was exclusively on providing a mild but humid environment so that the seedlings could establish themselves. See how there are random little plants coming up, as well as mycelium, moss, et cetera? The system already starts to stabilize and creates a breeding ground for all sorts of organisms that - in the end - will benefit the symbiosis and longevity of said system. _____________________________________________________ Introduction I took a lot of precautions because my last run got eaten by slugs (probably because of the top dressing (leaves) you can see in the very 1st image). Besides that, I just focused on a stable and humid environment for the 1st Week. A very exciting aspect is that I noticed a variegation on the Mimosa Cake Auto right from the start! Setup This is a low-noise, low-budget grow (331 € acquisitional cost (including fails and abundance of substrate for the next runs), 17 € for electricity per month, max. 28 dB). I don't use an air filter and try to minimize every use of electricity (the system can't draw more than 110 W). Living Soil The goal is to learn how living soil (and nature really) works - healthy plants are just a side effect. To this end, I am intensively engaged with the biological functioning of plants (which is also an important part of my profession as a product designer focused on biomimicry). Germination Mimosa Cake had water contact on 01.12.25, Gorilla Z on 04.12.25. Mimosa Cake broke through the soil on 04.12.25, Gorilla Z on 07.12.25. The documentation starts at 04.12.25 (so you have to add about 3 days to the Mimosa Cake to get the real age including the germination). 'Optimal' values (I try to reach) Soil temp.: 24 °C Air temp. : 26 °C RH veg.: 95 - 65 % (lowering while time goes on) RH flower: 50 - 60 % Temp. Gerneal min. 16 - 18 °C, max. 28 - 30 °C Soil: 20 - 80% saturated Exhaust air: ~ 1 tent volume per minute Circulating air: as low and 'chaotic' as possible Philosophy I take what I learned, compare it with knowledge from a wide range of disciplines, and try to develop a system that is as durable and as efficient as possible. I also wanted said system to be as modular and simplistic as possible to actually learn and feel what every components does - not just have a controller that I don't understand and can't manipulated to the point I'd like. So the leeway I have with these components can be used to influence other values. In the end: Yes, I could use higher PPFD + increase the substrate temperature to 26°C, but that would be inefficient (in my setup) because none of the values are in a critical range right now and stay like that naturally because of the ambient environment (just so that you understand my reasoning for this experiment). Further Info I used the nutrients tab to show the light intensity (ml/l) (I will rarely fertilize because of the living soil). I will try to add an Info tab as soon as I've figured out how. 😅

This is the start of week 6 of flower! She will be getting the last bit of nutrients given to her this week. This way she's got a little bit of food for the next two or three weeks. Then she can ripen up the last week or two with nothing. I'll be top dressing her with some Kashi, flower finisher, worm castings, bloom booster...

Plant grew very well overall. Will join my monster auto flower collection. Unfortunately my harvest video was corrupted during filming, and I lost the footage. 😢😭🤬. Pretty much explains my feelings. Plant has a great citrus smell, and grew massive. It loved the Viparspectra P4000 light. Thanks again PEV Thank you grow diaries community for all the support. I greatly appreciate the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing everyone 🌱🌱🌱

During this first week of vegetative growth, the seedling has slightly stretched more than expected, but this is not a problem since when I transfer it into the larger pot, I will bury the stem. 🌱 I haven't started giving nutrients yet because, as already mentioned, the substrate I use has them for the first few weeks, in fact the leaves seem to me to be a nice bright green. ✔️ I proceeded to mount a small fan on the side of the tent to create recirculation of air and make the stems of the seedlings take some strength. 💨 For now the main tent is occupied by the flowering phase of other plants so for the first few weeks I will leave the seedlings in the closet with smallest led light. 💡 (link below) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B08P2G1VQW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1

Grew well. Got some lovely fade and the buds are rock hard with a low leaf-calyx ratio. Tbh, I'm not a major fan. It's powerful. But, its a very very dank rozay scent. Overpowering so. Like, that's the only smell taste I can get. Again, the rating system isn't great. If it gets better taste wise I'll for sure make a comment.. don't get me wrong. It's nice, very nice. Just when put in comparison to the other 3 Original Sensible Seed grows, she falls short for me. Again lovely smoke. Just don't the taste I like. The Pink Rozay x Strawberry Banana Auto was lovely combo. But, this is just too much Rozay. It's banging of it. Actually smells like a very strong Rozay wine. More on that later and the high. Which is the reason its getting 9☆ which is still pretty high. Thanks to Mars-Hydro & Original Sensible Seeds for their products and trust, hopefully will get to test many more of your great products and to you my followers, viewers, ppl who stopped by, or dropped a like/comment much appreciation. Look forward to seen your grows Good Growing My Friends. Edit. Upon a 1.5 month cure. The bud is just amazing. Very dank, stands out from all my other grows. Love this lady. Gonna miss opening my bud jars and not getting a bang of Rozay.

Hello everyone ... please excuse me if I start the diary from the end of 4th week of flowering, but I'm new and wanted to post something right away :) Anyway ... I have these three beautiful girls ... two are in light mix + coco + perlite + micorizze(MICOSAT F {Italian product}) + guano Kalong and Atami worm humus ... instead one(SSOIL written in photo) is a super soil with biobizzlight mix / biobizzcoco / Atami worm humus + leonardite + alfalfa + kelp + krill + azomite + basalt + calcium carbonate + phosphorite + neem soil(1/3substrate ) and micorrize ..in to the top only light-mix/perlite and coco with a little bit of humus ... they suffered defoliation, also caused thrips and various problems that let me to conclude that it was better to follow this path ... ah and the grow rom the walls have been removed, hot cause ..... The plants imself are very vigorous and resistant ... fairly uniform growth, takes a lot from Critical, and even perfumes are very similar for now, always tending more to Critical with light notes of kush ... but it is still early ...... Ps. Sorry for the English 😅. Update On advice, I decided to move one of the three (the one with the super soil) in a separate diary, also to be clearer and more precise ... sorry for the confusion, but I'm learning😅🙏✌️

She’s still stretching! This week I removed Voodoo Juice, Tarantula and Piranha, and added B-52 and Bud Factor X (never tried this one before). Since the princess loves this 2ml/L dosage for NPK nutes, I’ll not be touching that for the moment. That seems to be the optimal dosage for a sativa like this. Very nice!

Harvest titans 4/25. As RQS stated in Titan literature, the average size on Titans are 2 feet. Mine was extremely short, measuring 4 and 8 inches. I expected a small plant in the teapot due to the limited soil level, but I expected more from T3. the strain is easy to grow and very strong, I had no pest or mold issues. The stems and stalks are very strong and resisted my attempts to tie down the branches.

Things are now advancing smoothly, having effectively weathered the majority of the challenges encountered. It's a truly uplifting experience to watch the process unfold, seeing how the plants are developing and thriving. Each day brings new progress, and I am continually enthusiastic about maximizing the sunlight that each plant receives as they continue on their growth journey. In addition to the hands-on cultivation aspect, I'm also diligently working on expanding my clones collection. The plan for the next week or so is to cultivate and ready these clones for transplantation. It's an exciting aspect of the process that helps me stay committed to my ultimate goal. That goal, of course, is to maximize my supply chain and provide high-quality cannabis. This involves more than just horticultural efforts. I am also persistently studying and researching the relevant laws to familiarize myself with the legal process. Navigating the licensing phase is a vital part of this journey, and I am committed to understanding and adhering to all legal requirements to ensure success in this venture. Diary Entry for Growth Project: Day 24 - Today, a slower-growing plant was effectively moved from its soil environment into an idle hydroponic system. With this transition, the count of prospering plants stands at eight, with a couple more still being monitored due to uncertain growth. Significant discoveries include the paramount importance of light distance to the plants, which was underestimated initially. Further, it has been found that genetically modified seeds hold no superiority over the prevalent autoflower seed market. Additionally, the positioning of the plant and the volume of medium placed between the plants and the water source have been recognized as key determinants in accelerating early stage growth. Welcome to the Day 25 update of our grow journal. I must apologize for the slight confusion - although the video says it’s day 23, today indeed marks the 25th day of our journey. I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve had a successful transplant. The plants are now settling nicely into their new environments. The question now at hand is, should we introduce stress training? As we move into days 26 and 27, I have been pondering on this. High-stress training can sometimes stimulate growth, but in our current situation, it might not be the most prudent course of action. This time around, we are expecting all our plants in the grow tent to blossom concurrently. In light of this, I’m leaning towards letting nature take its course rather than intervening with stress training. By doing so, we will allow our plants to focus their energy solely on flowering. The goal here is to encourage the production of dense and frosty buds, the hallmark of a successful growth cycle. Rest assured, we’ll continue to provide the plants with the care and nutrients they need. Remember, every cycle is a learning experience, and we’re on this botanical journey together. Keep checking back for more updates on our garden’s progress.
