šŗ Week 4 Veg ā The Legends of the Frozen North 12/12 from seed
š Disclaimer / Timeline clarification
Before we begin, a quick note for transparency:
Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That oneās on me. Itās fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, Iāll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this weekās genetics shots and videos as intended.
Thank you for the understanding ā clarity and honesty always come first here š
Quick recap (for anyone joining us now)
Weāre in Week 4 of vegetative growth, steady and intentional. No stress events, no corrections, no forcing. This phase has been about establishing structure, roots, and rhythm ā letting the plants find their footing before the real acceleration begins.
So far, everything has been calm, balanced, and exactly where it should be.
āø»
š”ļø Room Conditions & Environment
⢠Temperature: 25.7 °C
⢠Relative Humidity: 60%
⢠VPD: Right in the comfort zone for mid-veg
⢠Airflow: Stable and consistent
This environment supports:
⢠steady metabolic activity
⢠healthy transpiration
⢠deep green leaf development
No swings, no drama ā just a room doing its job.
āø»
š” Lighting Strategy (Week 4)
⢠LED intensity: 90%
⢠Lighting position: Top lighting only
⢠Under-canopy lighting: Not active yet (planned for flower)
The plants are growing into the light, not being pushed by it. Thatās an important distinction. Weāre not chasing numbers ā weāre observing response.
To stay informed, weāre using a TrolMaster PAR sensor, walking the tent and checking PPFD across the canopy.
Nothing is adjusted ā this is purely situational awareness. Knowing where you stand matters, even when you choose not to intervene.
āø»
š± Nutrition Program (Current Feed)
The nutrition is intentionally simple, complete, and supportive:
⢠Plagron Terra Grow ā base nutrition for vegetative development
⢠Power Roots ā root mass, lateral branching, early resilience
⢠Pure Zym ā enzyme support, cleaner rhizosphere
⢠Sugar Royal ā gentle metabolic & microbial support
⢠Vita Race ā foliar vitality and micronutrient support
Nothing excessive. Nothing missing.
The plants are responding with lush green color, clean leaf posture, and uniform growth.
āø»
šæ Plant Observations
⢠Color: deep, healthy green
⢠Leaves: flat, relaxed, expressive
⢠Growth rate: slow and steady ā as expected
⢠Structure: building quietly
Thereās honestly not much to āfixā this week ā and thatās a good sign. Week 4 veg is often deceptive: things look calm on the surface, while roots and internal systems are stacking potential underneath.
āø»
š® What to Expect (and Not Expect)
Expect:
⢠a noticeable growth acceleration soon
⢠tighter node stacking
⢠increased appetite as roots fully establish
Donāt expect:
⢠explosive stretch yet
⢠dramatic visual changes this week
⢠the need for major adjustments
The ātakeoffā is coming ā not because we force it, but because this groundwork allows it.
To the moon is just an expression š ā but the momentum is real.

Closing Notes
Week 4 veg is about patience, trust, and restraint.
The legends of the frozen north werenāt written in haste ā and neither are strong plants.

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.

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.
