12/12 from seed. Week 12 overall. Week 8 of flower.
And Cosmic Noodles is doing exactly what a finisher should do.
No drama.
No panic.
No chasing numbers.
Just a massive plant, a controlled fade, and a very clear push into the final stretch.
She is not limping to the finish.
She is arriving with weight.
⸻
🍜 The Final Reduction
This week, everything comes out except Pure Zym.
No bloom feed.
No boosters.
No extras.
No correction bottles.
No late flower chasing.
Just enzymes.
And time.
At this point, the goal is no longer to build.
The goal is to finish clean.
She has already done the hard part.
The bulk is there.
The frost is there.
The density is there.
Now the plant is simply being allowed to use what she has already stored.
That’s the shift this week.
Less input.
More observation.
Less pushing.
More finishing.
And for a plant this far along, that is often the better move.
⸻
🌱 Why Keep Pure Zym In
Because even when feed stops, the root zone is still working.
Pure Zym stays because the medium is still alive.
Microbial activity does not stop just because bottles do.
At this stage, enzymes still help break down residual organic matter in the root zone, keep the medium cleaner, and support a softer transition as the plant begins consuming what remains available.
That matters even more when the soil is not treated like disposable media.
Because it isn’t.
This soil still has a second job after this run.
It goes outside.
It gets reused.
It feeds vegetables.
It stays alive.
And whether it is hard science, soft biology, or just grower instinct — keeping that soil active until the end has always made sense here.
Not everything needs to be sterile to be effective.
Sometimes the better approach is simply not killing what is still working.
⸻
? Living Soil, Second Life
That has always been part of the rhythm.
What finishes the room does not leave the cycle.
It just changes jobs.
Once this run is done, that soil goes back outside and keeps working somewhere else.
Different crop.
Same biology.
Same purpose.
So yes — keeping the medium active late matters.
Not just for this harvest.
For what comes after it too.
Call it practical.
Call it circular.
Call it habit.
Either way, dead soil has never been the goal.
⸻
📉 EC Down, pH Up, Eyes On the Plant
This is where the spreadsheet starts losing authority.
EC is down.
Input is nearly gone.
pH has drifted upward into that 6.8–7 range.
And right now, it is not being forced back down.
Not because numbers do not matter.
Because context matters more.
At this stage, the plant is finishing.
Uptake is slowing.
Demand is lower.
Feed has been reduced.
The root zone is doing less work than it was two weeks ago.
So yes — on paper, some of these numbers would make people uncomfortable.
In practice?
The plant looks exactly like a plant that is finishing correctly.
Still drinking.
Still praying.
Still stacking.
Still fading evenly.
Still moving from top to bottom without confusion.
That matters more than chasing a perfect chart in the final stretch.
Room VPD is a reference.
Leaf response is the truth.
And this room continues to be read by plant behavior first, numbers second.
As always.
⸻
🌡️ Conditions Stay Stable
Nothing changed in the room because nothing needed to.
Conditions remain steady.
No dramatic swings.
No forced stress.
No late-stage environmental tricks.
The room is stable.
The plant is stable.
The finish is stable.
And late flower stability is one of the most underrated parts of a clean finish.
No heroic adjustments.
No panic corrections.
No reinvention in the last chapter.
Just consistency.
⸻
️ A Proper Finisher
And this one is a beast.
Not “good structure.”
Not “nice tops.”
A beast.
Huge central cola.
Heavy side stacking.
Dense flower formation.
Thick terminals.
Real weight from top to bottom.
This is one of those plants that stops being judged branch by branch and starts being judged as mass.
Because the whole frame is carrying.
She is not finishing in isolated tops.
She is finishing as a full plant.
That matters.
The top is heavy.
The mid is real.
The lowers are still worthwhile.
And the entire plant is moving together.
That is what a complete finisher looks like.
⸻
❄️ Frost, Density & Finish Quality
And she is not just big.
She is finishing properly.
Dense flower.
Heavy resin.
Excellent frost coverage.
Strong calyx development.
Good terminal formation.
Real weight in the hands.
The important part now is that she is not only stacking size — she is finishing with quality.
That is the difference between a plant that looks impressive and a plant that actually delivers.
This one does both.
And whether part of her gets dried or part of her gets frozen, she has already made the case for both.
That decision can wait.
Right now, the only job is to let her finish.
⸻
🍂 The Fade Is Real — And It’s Everywhere
The fade is already underway.
And more importantly, it is happening correctly.
Not isolated.
Not patchy.
Not confused.
She is fading from top to bottom.
Across the plant.
Across the canopy.
Across the frame.
That matters.
A uniform fade tells a very different story than a stressed collapse.
This is not random yellowing.
This is not deficiency panic.
This is senescence.
The plant is reallocating.
The cycle is closing.
The finish has started.
And she is doing it evenly.
That is exactly what you want to see here.
⸻
💡 Canopy Light Matters
And once again, the lesson stays the same:
Canopy lighting matters.
When the full frame is finishing together, it shows.
When lowers stay relevant, it shows.
When the plant matures with less separation between top and bottom expression, it shows.
Uniform development is not an accident.
Top-to-bottom consistency like this is one of the clearest arguments for proper canopy penetration when the setup allows for it.
Not mandatory in every room.
But when possible, absolutely worth it.
This plant makes that case on her own.
⸻
📘 Week 12, Cosmic Noodles
This is what the late game should feel like.
Calm.
Heavy.
Controlled.
Predictable.
Close.
No overreaction.
No bottle panic.
No forced finish.
Just a large, healthy plant using the last of what she has and moving toward the end exactly like she should.
And that is all this week needed to be.
⸻
⏭️ What Comes Next
Next week should bring more fade.
More color loss.
Less drinking.
More swelling where it still matters.
And a clearer final read on timing.
She may finish next week.
She may ask for a little longer.
Both are still on the table.
What should not happen is panic.
No sudden overfeeding.
No late corrections.
No chasing green back into a plant that is already doing what finishing plants are supposed to do.
From here, the job is simple:
Watch the leaves.
Watch the resin.
Watch the pace.
Then cut when the plant says so.
⸻

Early this week found 2 fungus gnats on the soil of one of the plants so was afraid of an infestation but after getting rid of the 2 havent seen any other one. Yesterday (day 14) had to give some support to 1 of the plants cause it was bending over. Overal not perfect but think these problems are all minor. So lets see.

Day 24 F under MARSHYDRO TSW-2000 And things are getting to that point were theres not much to do besides giving them love and attention, i like what i see , for the majority of the canopy, i believe the corners are losing the run wen compared with the center , but still the flower development is going great, lets keep monitoring and see how it goes , for now at center canopy i have 1400 Ppfd the edges at 700 and the corners at 450 , this will eventually result in denser and bigger flowers were the number are higher, but lets time dictate what is what and how it goes, for now I’m loving everything, but starting. To think this TSW2000 wold feet better on a 3x3 or a 3,5x3,5 than a 4x4. Don’t miss judged me, its great light and my girls are loving it , im just use to bigger light on a 4x4 space.

week 3 of flower looks like they are hungry. Last week I Lolly popped the bottom 1/3 of the plants for air flow and to push the energy to the tops. I have a theory that the potassium is low in the media due to flowering I was going to wait till the 4th week of flower to give them a topdressing. but I think I will mix some PK booster in the next watering and fertigate the pots from the top, so the plants have immediate access to the PK for flowering.
let me know what you think after watching the video image section.
take care for now,

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter.
I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time.
Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely.
Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin
Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy

April 26, 2024 Day 71
This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes.
Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well.
The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week.
The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow.
Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.2°
RH: 47.7%
VPD: 1.49 kPa
April 27, 2024
Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier.
Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed.
Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress.
Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up.
I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there.
The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see.
The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon.
The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.5°
RH: 45.7%
VPD: 1.55 kPa
April 28, 2024
Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it.
I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see.
Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies.
The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration.
The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high.
Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 52.8%
VPD: 1.39 kPa
April 29, 2024
No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn.
They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question.
The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway.
The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful.

Temp: 74.2°

April 30, 2024
Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water.
Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress.
The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great.
The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess.
The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.5°
RH: 57.0%
VPD: 1.26 kPa
May 1, 2024
Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing.
I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything.
The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here.
Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even.
Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely.
Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density.
Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2.
As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now.
The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.2°
RH: 56.1%
VPD: 1.27 kPa
May 2, 2024
Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing.
I did change the light last night to 80% power.
Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks.
Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see.
As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside.
The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 73.7°
RH: 55.2%
