Week 11 buds are turning into Colas. I’m doing straight city water 150 ppm gettin 200 out of the bottom tray. I’ll just water to draining 10%. Added front wall for light bouncing. It got Cold this week so my temps allowed me to take the power up to 100% for about 12 hours a day usually get 80%. My lights are just perfect for the green house I own I dry em in my basement 60/60 and then KURE BAGS the OZ size I gave some granular PH booster to my 3 younger girls the rest have plenty in the soil add a few MG of PH UP into the water jugs to 7.0 oh I added an undergrowth light about 50 watts for the LARF Maybe 2-6 oz per plant that Blue Amnesia is gonna produce HEAVY like my 2 Blue Dreams 1 of my California Snows did not like a 5 gallon pot eh what’s a stoner to do✊😸? Smoke em if you got em said my ol Drill Sargent

Last Sunday I increased the nutes so that the ppm was on the higher level (600-625) as the feeding schedule showed. Dec 9th I started to see some lime green (video) leaves on new growth. The ppm would go up mostly & down slightly, but the lime green spread & eventually turned yellow (last pic from today). I did a water change the other day & lowered the ppm/nutes to around 575-580 range. I've been reading around that this might be a sulfur deficiency? Some suggested adding Cal-mag. Today I added 2 ml more of Cal-mag & snipped some of the darker fan leaves that had some damage. I ordered epsom salt, waiting for it to arrive (tomorrow). Any other suggestions/diagnoses are welcomed! 😊

Did a little clean up of the lowers. Will let these go for 2-3 more weeks as I have no room in the flower tent and they are healthy— but short and bushy still. No feeing yet. They look good. Very indica with the huge fan leaves

According to FastBuds schedule the end is near and I can see it on the yellowing fan leaves, also the smell gets more intense. There is still quite a lot white pistils on the buds, given the fact she is a CBD strain my goal is to see more amber coloured trichomes, so I want to keep her alive as long as possible.

Week 3. This is where the fun begins. The smell is amazing. The stretch is crazy and the stems are stiff like bamboo. There's no loss in terps. They're actually getting a lot stronger!!

Looks like the Tangie is not gonna be a big yielder. The frost on it makes up for it though. I think she got about a week left. The Glueberry is smelling so nice. Skunky-gassy goodness. A Plant next to them (Orange Diesel) hermed and I took some pollen to polonate a branch of the Glueberry. I hope there is enough time left for some seeds! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials.

je les trouve assez mince je pense n'avoir pas assez arrosé... pas de carence apparente hormis l'eau (hypothése) la stress killer a commencé sa floraison des grand pistil blanc apparaisent et l'odeur commence a etre agréable ^^. je m'insuiéte peu etre pour rien lmais lorsque je regarde d'autre diaries la mienne est juste vraiment mince et petite ^^ mais bon c'est une première. la nothern light est moins avancé et peine un peu je trouve j'ai mise en marche le ventilateur pour renforcé les plants.

Let the flushing begin! Week 8 went well, this girl packed on the last of her weight and density. She's showing a lot more red hairs and she's got a 50/50 mix of clear/cloudy trichomes.

🌌 Cosmic Noodles Week 8 From Seed (Week 4 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) ⸻ How Did We Get Here? These girls have been on 12/12 from seed. No veg phase. No long structural preparation. No topping cycles. No extended shaping. They expressed themselves naturally — and we simply guided them. We are calling this Week 4 Flower based on visible floral development, even though biologically it’s Week 8 from seed. Two phenotypes. Two structural expressions. Two approaches. And this week… two very different stories. ⸻ 👑 Plant #1 — “The Big Walla” (No Test) She is exactly what a healthy plant should look like under pressure: • Deep, lush green • Aggressive bud stacking • Strong apical dominance but with lateral competition • Defoliation response? Like nothing happened. • In and out of the studio — no stress expression • Structural integrity intact She had light low-stress training, nothing extreme. Just guidance. You can see in the time-lapse frames how robust she is. She’s not surviving the environment. She’s thriving in it. This is our control plant. ⸻ Plant #2 — The Overwatering Test (Autoflower) Now the real talk. This plant was intentionally overwatered. She was left sitting in runoff water for approximately 36 hours. Immediate reaction. Within that window: • Drooping leaves • Loss of turgor pressure • Slowed metabolism • Oxygen deprivation at root zone • Visual stress expression This is what root hypoxia looks like. After 36 hours, we elevated her and drained everything. Now we’re seeing: • Necrotic leaf tissue • Some dead lower leaves • But… white pistils still pushing • Bud development continuing She’s stressed. But she’s not done. ⸻ 🌱 Why Overwatering Is Worse Than Underwatering Underwatering: • Roots search for moisture • Oxygen availability increases • Root mass expands • Enzymes help break down dead root matter • Temporary droop, usually reversible Overwatering: • Roots suffocate • Anaerobic conditions form • Microbial imbalance can develop • Nutrient uptake becomes impaired • Tissue death can occur Water fills pore spaces in soil. No air = no oxygen = no respiration. Roots breathe. When they can’t — the whole plant pays for it. And with an autoflower, recovery window is shorter. A photoperiod could be vegged longer to recover. An auto? Clock is ticking. ⸻ Environment — Playing on the Edge (But Controlled) Current room conditions: • Canopy Temp: ~28°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s On paper, 28°C + 70% RH sounds high. But here’s the key: Massive Airflow We have: • Strong horizontal airflow • Vertical movement • Air exchange • Under-canopy circulation Airflow changes everything. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf VPD vs Room VPD Room VPD at 28°C / 70% RH is moderate-high humidity. But leaf temperature under strong light + airflow is often slightly higher than ambient. This increases transpiration. Add 1000+ ppm CO₂: • Stomata don’t need to open as wide • Photosynthesis rate increases • Plants tolerate higher humidity • Metabolic rate remains high This is why they’re thriving. We are pushing high PPFD — up to 1300 µmol in larger tops — but only where plant size can handle it. Smaller plants receive ~800 µmol. Light intensity is scaled to structure. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are running: • Top lighting • Under-canopy lighting • End-of-day red (15 minutes) Let’s break this down. ⸻ 🔦 Under-Canopy Lighting — Why? Purpose: • Illuminate lower bud sites • Reduce larf • Stimulate lower photosynthesis • Improve uniformity • Reduce shading stress We are not trying to replace top light. We are supplementing energy where dense canopy blocks photons. It also improves airflow around lower sites because buds stay active and not shaded/degrading. ⸻ 🔴 End-of-Day Red (15 Minutes After Lights Off) We run 15 minutes of red spectrum at lights-off. Why? Phytochrome manipulation. Plants have two main light-sensitive phytochrome states: • Pr (red-absorbing) • Pfr (far-red absorbing) Red light converts phytochrome into its active Pfr state. When lights go off, Pfr slowly converts back to Pr in darkness. By giving a short red pulse: • We influence phytochrome equilibrium • Potentially enhance flowering signaling • Encourage elongation control • Improve transition consistency It does not extend photoperiod. It manipulates light signaling. We are experimenting — not claiming magic. But we document everything. ⸻ 🌱 EC & Feeding Soil EC: 0.9 Feed EC: 2.4 This tells us: They are eating aggressively. If runoff EC stays stable and doesn’t climb, we maintain feed strength. High metabolic demand requires high input. But we monitor carefully. If soil EC begins rising? We adjust immediately. ⸻ Structural Differences Plant #1: • Slight LST • Strong lateral competition • Dense but controlled canopy Plant #2: • Some training • More natural expression • Slightly smoother, smaller phenotype Even genetics within the same strain express differently. And that’s the beauty of 12/12 from seed. You see who they truly are. ⸻ 🔮 What This Week Represents This week is about: • Stress response • Root health • Environmental boundaries • Recovery observation • Real learning Not hype. Not perfection. Reality. ⸻ 📅 What to Expect Next Week For the Big Walla: • Continued stacking • Increased resin production • Structural thickening • Possibly slight nutrient demand increase For the Overwatered One: • Either: • Gradual recovery with reduced leaf mass • Or stalled development if root damage was severe We do not expect explosive rebound. We expect stabilization first. ⸻ ❤️ Gratitude To: • The OGs who’ve been here since day one • The new followers discovering the journey • The skeptics who keep us sharp • The haters who fuel consistency • Sponsors supporting experimentation • GrowDiaries platform • Discord family • Instagram community This is not a solo grow. This is shared documentation. ⸻ 🌌 Final Thought Nothing in nature is perfect. And that’s exactly why this works. This week proves it. One queen thriving. One queen struggling. Both teaching. Cosmic Noodles — Week 8. Let’s recover one. Let’s push the other. Let’s document everything.

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 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.
