Chem Brulee by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🔥🌱 Vegetative Week 1 | Strong Foundations Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another chapter of this 12/12 From Seed project. This week we turn our attention to Chem Brulee Pheno A as she completes her first full week of vegetative growth and begins establishing herself inside her final container. Following a successful germination and smooth transplant, she has spent the week doing exactly what young plants should be doing: building roots, adapting to the environment, and slowly revealing the first signs of her individual personality. And already, there are a few interesting things worth talking about. ⸻ One Week, One Home As with every plant in this project, Chem Brulee Pheno A was transplanted directly into her final container shortly after germination. Because this grow is being run under a 12/12 From Seed methodology, we prefer avoiding additional transplants later in the cycle whenever possible. The objective is to allow uninterrupted root development from the very beginning. Rather than spending energy recovering from multiple container changes, the plant can focus entirely on exploring its final root zone and building a strong foundation for the weeks ahead. At this stage, what happens below the soil is just as important as what happens above it. ⸻ Building In Lightmix For this run we continue using Plagron Lightmix as the base substrate. Lightmix provides an excellent starting environment for young plants by combining gentle nutrition with good aeration and water retention. Seedlings do not require aggressive feeding schedules. They require stability. Healthy roots. Consistent moisture. And an environment that allows them to develop naturally. So far, Chem Brulee Pheno A appears very comfortable in her new home. ⸻ Water First, Then Nutrition The first irrigation after transplant consisted of plain water only. During the earliest stages of growth, seedlings continue relying heavily on the reserves stored within the seed itself while also benefiting from the nutrients already available in the substrate. Around Day 4 we introduced a light feeding program consisting of: 🌱 Terra Grow 🌱 Pure Zym 🌱 Power Roots 🌱 Sugar Royal All products were applied at gentle dosages designed to support root establishment and healthy early development without pushing growth beyond what the plant naturally wants to achieve. The goal remains creating strong foundations rather than chasing rapid growth. ⸻ 12/12 From Seed & Light Strategy One aspect of this project that often generates questions is the lighting approach. Even at this young age, Chem Brulee Pheno A is receiving approximately 350 PPFD. Under traditional vegetative schedules this may seem relatively strong for a seedling. However, because these plants are receiving only 12 hours of light per day, the total Daily Light Integral (DLI) remains considerably lower than under standard 18/6 schedules. This allows us to introduce moderate light intensity early while keeping overall daily light exposure within a comfortable range. The objective is adaptation rather than acceleration. Strong light. Controlled duration. Balanced development. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🌱 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌿 CO₂ levels: approximately 600 ppm Consistency remains one of the most important tools available to a grower during the seedling stage, and so far the environment has remained exactly where we want it. ⸻ Early Observations Among the phenotypes documented so far, Chem Brulee Pheno A immediately stands out for her vigor. Growth has been steady and confident throughout the week. Leaf expansion has progressed nicely, color remains healthy, and overall structure appears balanced and symmetrical. By the end of the week we are already seeing beautifully formed leaf development with well-defined fingers beginning to emerge. While it is still far too early to draw major conclusions, she gives the impression of a plant that is eager to grow. Not stretched. Not rushed. Simply vigorous. The kind of development that makes you excited to see what comes next. ⸻ Looking Ahead As root development continues and nutrient uptake increases, we expect vegetative growth to accelerate over the coming week. The next stage should provide a much clearer picture of the structural tendencies of this phenotype and help reveal whether this early vigor continues as the plant matures. For now, everything is moving exactly in the right direction. Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy growth. A very promising start. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Chem Brulee genetics for this project. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and substrate supporting this run. And thank you to Future of Grow and everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Your support makes projects like this possible. As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next week… Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🔥

These lovely ladies are growing amazing. Weekly update as they're getting super close to being finished. Some already are going to come out and be harvested but there's a few that still need another week or so. The terps smell like you just opened a can of 7-Up so I can only imagine what they taste like. All in all Happy Growing.

Well this is actually where i started. I had already germinated the Green Tea (Forbidden Fruit x Gelato) seed. Now i think i am caught up. I will try to post as many videos as possible. I suck at typing and with the dictation it takes longer to fix the f_ck ups than to just type what I wanted. I can just explain what I'm doing or what I've done for the week. This is my first ever grow journal so it may be all over the place....we will see..... I have multiple grows happening at the same time....sometimes I get carried away...lol....and might have a few more than I expected to have. I will do my best to keep things up to date and current. I definitely want to start running right out of the gate and make a pretty decent journal.

She’s filling up faster than I can feed her! Lower canopy is already starting to cannibalize and die off, nothing to worry about because she’s still praying and healthy! A lot of thickness and frost has already established, in expecting one final push over the next couple weeks before she’ll be in the ripening stage. Smells like sweet musty kush candies. I love it.

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)

Since correcting the PH the plant has done wonders. It only sadens me to see how much better this could have been if I wasn't bouncing around 5.0 ph for a little over a week in weeks 3 and 4. Harvest still looking good though coming up in the next 2 weeks. Buds are still extremely compact so I hope mold doesn't become a problem since my humidity is staying around 55, 60%. Trichs are everywhere, the pictures don't do it justice. Everytime I touch the plant my hand comes back sticky lol This will probably be like my first time growing this strain. Not a huge yield but quality bud 100%.

This is the last week of vegetative growth. The plant is growing very strong, forming strong branches and big fan leaves. Continued LST on the main stem and some other major branches. Growth is now penetrating the canopy and is being tucked under the net to fill it up. Pruned a few stems and leaves from below the canopy which may never see the light of day. Pale leaf tips/edges may be due to light stress, so maintained the light distance whilst tucking branches under the net as they shoot through. Tracking run-off volume/EC/pH at every fertigation event as I manage the feed EC to monitor what the plant is doing/feeding. Fertigation is maintained at twice a day (at lights on and 4hrs prior to lights off period) to maintain the target EC. Light period is during the night time to better maintain heat/humidity conditions during light off period (which happens during daytime). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes ; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 (gives me great control over the environment) - ventilation fans - aquarium heater for nutrients solution (for winter use only) - small oil heater (for winter use only) - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots (as final pots) and 3.5L general plastic pots (for seedling stage) - Canna Coco substrate mixed with 40% perlite - GHE Flora Trio as base nutrients and various additives - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy, the other at the roots level - these allow for external monitoring and recording) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some strain info from Royal Queen Seeds ; An amazing mix of genetics background - Its true genetics are unknown. Some say OG Kush is a mix of ChemDawg with a Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say that it’s just a special cutting of ChemDawg from the early 90s. The most obvious trait of OG Kush is its strong, unique, very dank, slightly citrus aroma, almost like fuel or strong detergent. The flavour of OG Kush is equally as strong and dank, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Strong mental and physical high - OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with most experienced smokers listing it as one of their favourites. The effect is as strong physically as it is mentally. Though its effect is like an Sativa, the strain's genetics are mostly Indica. The effect is as strong and complex as the flavour. OG Kush takes around 8 weeks to flower and on average the yield is 500 grams per plant. Big buds with lovely tones - OG Kush is known to stretch slightly during growth but soon starts to fill out during flowering. Generally, it will reach a height of 90 to 160 cm. Its buds are large and dense, lime green clusters covered with a large amount of resin.

18 hours in seconds, 60x60x18 = 64,800 seconds, now multiply by the 833μMol/s reading off the PAR metre. μMol/s (micromol) is the unit in which P.A.R. is expressed. 64,800x833=53,784,000μMol 53,784,000μMol = 54 Mol 54 DLI @ 800ppm, powerful combination. Pushing photosynthesis to peak capacity, accelerated growth and increased biomass. Applied net, stretching her around for a week. Maintaining a minimum air velocity of 0.3m/s within the inner canopy. E=MC2 looks like a simple multiplication problem; it describes a fundamental physical truth: mass and energy are the same thing. The equation doesn't just calculate a value; it reveals that mass is effectively "congealed" energy. Energy is just numbers. Energy isn't a physical "substance" you can hold or touch. It is essentially an abstract, calculated number that we assign to a system to predict how it will change, interact, or move. A numerical label we attach to matter to track how it behaves. Because the universe runs on laws of symmetry (specifically, that the laws of physics don't change over time), a single global number must be conserved. We call that number "energy". How well a seedling grows is down to how much knowledge one can acquire to increase the level of conversion to occur. Applying knowledge effectively requires intuition, which comes from hands-on experience. A seasoned stoner learns to read subtle signs—like a slight change in leaf turgor (stiffness), subtle color shifts, or the specific texture of the soil—before a textbook diagnosis can be made. Ultimately, growing is the application of botanical science blended with active observation. Knowledge dictates your potential, but adaptability and attentiveness to the plant's immediate environment determine your results. The human eye is capable of distinguishing more shades of green than any other color in the visible spectrum. 1.618 Nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. External vibration or electromagnetic wave that perfectly matches a plant's natural frequency directly influences plant growth. Low-frequency sound waves and targeted electromagnetic fields stimulate cellular processes and boost photosynthetic efficiency. An angular frequency aligned with the Golden Ratio is often used in wave mechanics and quantum physics to optimize energy transfer. Alignment with what already exists. Law of nature, not my opinion: Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves meet in phase, meaning their crests and troughs perfectly align. Their amplitudes add together, creating a new, amplified wave with greater intensity than the individual components. Constructive interference is the foundational mechanism that establishes a resonance hierarchy across physical, structural, and acoustic systems. "Frequencies utilizing this ratio naturally minimize resistance (or impedance) and allow for highly efficient resonance, which can facilitate an increase in Electron Transfer Reactions (ETR) or energy pathways in molecular structures." Quantum coherence in photosynthesis occurs when a photon of sunlight strikes a leaf; the energy it carries must travel to a reaction center to be converted into chemical energy. This process operates at nearly 100% efficiency. If the energy moved in a traditional "bunching" or random hopping manner, a large portion of it would be lost as heat. Instead, plants utilize quantum superposition. The energy particle (exciton) doesn't just take one path; it exists in a wave state and explores multiple pathways simultaneously. It essentially "chooses" the most efficient route to the reaction center simultaneously. Research shows that molecular vibrations and the specific network arrangements of chlorophyll molecules (like the naturally evolved Chlorophyll A & B ratios) actively protect against energy overflow, optimizing light capture across different light intensities. Enzymes are the biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions within a plant's cells, allowing them to grow, metabolize, and repair. Rather than relying solely on the classical kinetic energy of molecules colliding, plants use quantum tunneling. Subatomic particles like electrons and protons (hydrogen ions) can literally "teleport" through energy barriers that they normally wouldn’t have the energy to climb over. This makes vital metabolic reactions happen far faster than classical physics could ever explain! Effective quantum efficiency of photosystem II, often denoted as ΦPSII, represents the proportion of light absorbed by Photosystem II (ΦPSII) that is actually used in photosynthetic electron transport. It is a key indicator of how efficiently a plant is using light for photosynthesis, as opposed to losing it as heat or fluorescence. ΦPSII (effective quantum yield of photosystem II) functions primarily as a "multiplier" (a coefficient of efficiency) rather than an additive factor when estimating the overall photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR). Multipliers are considered far more beneficial than additions because they generate exponential growth, leverage existing resources to their full potential, and create sustainable, self-multiplying capacity, rather than just incremental, linear increases. This fascinating observation is rooted in the intersection of subatomic geometry, fractal scaling, and quantum dynamics. In specific molecular arrangements—such as in conjugated polymer networks or biomolecular architectures—the Golden Ratio (PHI) naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Mathematically tied to the fine-structure constant, which defines the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. The Golden Ratio can be mapped geometrically as the Golden Angle (137.5 degrees) in atomic structures, linking the charge of the electron to fundamental quantum constants like Planck's constant. An electromagnetic wave is neither electric nor magnetic, but a combination of both. 137.5 The Golden Angle (137.5) This angle is derived from the Golden Ratio (1.618). It is the smaller of two angles created when a circle is divided such that the ratio of the arcs equals the Golden Ratio. In quantum physics, Alpha (Α/α) is the approximate denominator of the fine-structure constant (often represented by the Greek letter Alpha (Α/α). It is a fundamental, dimensionless number that dictates how strongly charged particles (like electrons) interact with the electromagnetic field. Its value has puzzled physicists for over a century, as it bridges quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and relativity. In quantum mechanics, Omega (Ω/ω) usually represents angular frequency. When applied to "quantum coherence"—the ability of particles to exist in overlapping states without immediately degrading—is key to calculating how long these states last. The Golden Angle, the value 137.5° is the geometric Golden Angle. It is derived from the Golden Ratio (1.618) and is famously responsible for the beautiful, mathematically optimized spiral patterns found in nature (such as sunflower seeds, pinecones, and leaf arrangements). Because of this, theoretical physicists and mathematicians have long speculated about why nature relies so heavily on the number 137 and the golden angle to govern everything from subatomic light interactions to the macroscopic geometry of the universe.

D97 F50: what a week!!! I can't believe it, the plants are more and more fragrant, the flowers are bigger and bigger... I expected less than that! I started the flush with simple osmosis water, corrected with a PH of 6.1! I managed to increase the EC from 2.1 to 1.3, with about 4 liters per plant!! I was able to remove the excess water in the tank using a pump! I'm aiming for an EC between 0.1 and 0.5 for half of week 9, before letting them dry on the foot. In any case, there are fewer seeds in my flowers than I thought, I tried to remove a few seeds with tweezers, it worked for a few plants but the code red #1 didn't like it... some pieces of flowers dried a little and some trichromes matured faster!! I'm not touching anything anymore smells: Papaya Bang Bang #1: smells of exotic fruit candies, especially papaya, very deep and addictive!! a banger LA Vanilla cake #2: smell of gas with ripe fruits, very cali gelato Papaya bang bang #2: smell of exotic fruits on a very earthy background, a little og, it's not really what I was looking for but it looks interesting! I think it will be round in the mouth cherry gar see ya #4: smell of exotic fruit compotes on a very fresh background!! white runtz x Hollywood: a banger!! a very resinous runtz smell, almost rosin, with smells of lemongrass, ginger... I've never smelled that in my life!! code red #2: smell of tangy strawberry, simple, not so many smells in the background, almost a little citrus Code red #1: a banger too! a smell of strawberry syrup, cream, sugar, I can't take my nose off when I smell it B-45: smell of citrus, grapefruit, with a bug background that I love LA Vanilla Cake #1: very cali, gas, good gelato too, but without fruits no TCO for the last two weeks, or very light! I'll give you the recipe anyway in my flowering TCO, I put: - kelp hydrolysate - epsom salt - bat guano - mealworm guana - castor bean shell ash - palm ash - vermicompost - blackstrap molasses - elycitor -Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Bottom right: LA vanilla cake #2 Bottom middle: Code red #2 Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #1 middle right: cherry gar see ya #4 clone middle: white runtz x Hollywood middle left: Papaya Bang Bang #2 Top right: Code red #1 Top middle: LA vanilla cake #1 Top left: B-45

The plant started off good. Unfortunately the environment wasn't the best to begin with but overall I think with the deficiencies still present. It turned out okay. This was grown with just the standard grow micro bloom. Due to covid, I was unable to order additional macro nutrients. Yeilds suffered as a result but overall happy for my first grow.

Been a good week, haven’t done too much apart from try and dial in the lights and watering. I think I have the lights perfect as the leaves are flat instead of dropping down, but then again not sure so any comments are welcome 🙏 thanks guys I’ll see you next week… or next time I have a question 😃

Plant #1 shows impressive results - the main cola has reached 4.5 cm in diameter and continues to densify. The entire stem is covered with abundant flowering. Natural yellowing of lower fan leaves is observed, which is typical for this flowering stage. Plant #2 (the trailing one) shows good dynamics in bud formation. Estimated harvest time is 2-3 weeks. Plant #3, despite early deficiency issues due to late transplanting and excessive stretching, has successfully recovered. Currently showing active flower formation, especially in the upper canopy. Plant #4 is compact and close to maturity (approximately one week left). Characterized by a large main cola, while side buds are less developed - about 1-1.5 cm in diameter. Trichomes are still white. Considering the strain genetics (8-11 weeks full cycle) and active growth, I maintain daily watering with 1L of flowering nutrients solution.

I loved it. Grew some really nice buds, produced an amazing smell that filled the room once I opened my tent. The buds are really sticky, trichomes looked amazing they were about 75% cloudy when I cut her down.
