1 sour livers is smelling sweet and lemony other 1 smelling like a zesty liver🤔. Cant quite put my finger on the aroma coming from the northern hog but shes possibly in the best condition she ever has been.

Day 14, Two of the Orange Sherbets are a little behind & the one I’m trying to pull back from nutrient burn.. So far the White Widow Autos by Seedsman have been doing the best! Day 17 two of the Orange sherbet are a little behind the rest of the plants but overall I would say everything is going good! Seems like the orange sherbet that had the nutrient burn is starting to bounce back! Day 19 They are all really starting to take off! Probably gonna do some LST tonight or tomorrow!

These XtraKush are also finally starting to grow. It took them a while but they doubled in a week. Still a little bit pale compared to the other two strains. With a new top layer of first worm castings and then neutral organic cocopeat to combat the gnat problem and we seem to have fixed most problems. Temps are going down at night, I'm trying to fix this by keeping it warmer in the attic where the grow is. In the coming week, I'm going to train/manifold them, they are getting a bit big.

Week 6, quick root flash. All going very well the nutrients are at 2.5ml/l now, vita race weekly, bacillus mix. Plant started to flower properly and the stretch is on its way. Water at ph 6-6.5. I always try to keep the bottom clean so I do multiple clean ups of lower leaves and braches every week. Also doing this focuses the energy of the plant to the top and she doesn't waste time making popcorn buds.

Starting to darken very sticky and only day 50. In 10-12 days stop feeding. It is a small plant but buds close together, day 54 could be last feed can’t believe how quick it took we’ll see? Decided to stop feeding it almost seems stupid on day 54 unbelievable. Flush till day 63-65?

Day 105 approximately since seed touched soil. Last girl is running, got few bugs, a bit of WPM caught bottom leaves too. Think she has 1-2 weeks, but forecast is bad, rain mostly, so will visit next week, just to check is there any bud rot ... Eventually smallest, but best girl from all Zami run. Happy Growing !!!

Cosmic Noodles — Week 4 Report (Draft Framework) 1. Week 4 Context (12/12 Cycle) • Plants are now well established structurally. • Stretch is active but controlled. • Environment remains stable and unchanged, which is clearly paying off. ⸻ 2. Training Progression (End of Week 3 → Week 4) End of Last Week • Introduced gentle lateral bending using light wire. • Goal: break apical dominance early without inducing stress. • Response: immediate redirection of growth, no negative reactions observed. This Week (Week 4) • Introduced metal clamps to reinforce and stabilize bends. • Purpose: • Hold branches closer to horizontal / toward the floor • Encourage more even stretch and node activation • Maintain structure without repeated manual adjustment • Training intensity remains controlled and intentional, not aggressive. 👉 Important note for education: This is guidance, not force. Plants are being shown where to grow, not pushed. ⸻ 3. Plant Response & Vigor • Overall health: Exceptional • Lush green coloration • Fast growth rate • No stress markers (no clawing, no discoloration, no leaf deformation) • Training response: • Trained plants are accelerating growth and showing earlier developmental cues. • Untrained / lightly trained plants remain relaxed and expressive. • Leaf management: • Only gentle leaf tucking • No defoliation at this stage • Inner node spacing remains excellent, so intervention is unnecessary. ⸻ 4. Pre-Flower Observations (Very Important) • The plant grown in the plastic recipient pot, which experienced: • A different early light behavior • Slight vegetative overlap • More active training ➡️ Is showing early pre-flower signs. This is not surprising and is actually educationally valuable: • Training + structural stress (positive stress) often accelerates maturity signals. • Slight differences in early light exposure can shift hormonal timing. Meanwhile: • 12/12 from seed plants • Still in a clean transitional phase • No visible pre-flower yet • Strong branching (notably under ~6 nodes with good lateral expression) • Internodal spacing is ideal • Development is uniform and calm This staggered response is normal and healthy, not a concern. ⸻ 5. Nutrition & Environment (Week 4) • Nutrition: • Same recipe • Same measurements • No changes introduced • Plants are responding beautifully, so stability is prioritized. • Flower nutrition: • Not yet introduced. • Decision point clearly defined: • Full transition only once the entire room enters pre-flower / flower. • If a few plants advance earlier, a localized, light flower feed patch may be applied — cautiously and intentionally. This shows discipline, which is what separates dialed grows from reactive ones. • Room temperatures: • Stable • Supporting vigorous metabolism without stress • No signs of heat or cold response in leaf posture ⸻ 6. Grower Philosophy (This Week’s Key Message) “Everything is the same because everything is working.” This is one of the strongest educational points you can make: • No chasing symptoms • No premature feeding changes • Letting genetics + environment express naturally ⸻ 7. Outlook for Week 5 • Expect wider pre-flower expression across the room. • Training effects will become more visible in canopy distribution. • Nutrition transition will be timed, not rushed.

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.

Totaly forgot to take some pics from the dutch passion strains this week... all I got is a group photo and short video! Could have been a bit more hands on with the training but seems a like a nice and even canopy it´s emerging 😍 Defoliated a bit and trimmed the lower branches.

Unfortunately, once again (last grow too) I had some bud rot in the last week before harvest in both plants with the biggest one largely affected. Because of that, I had to remove all infected parts and have an early harvest. I picked out all fucked buds, gave my plants another two days of (finally!) sunshine to dry out the cut-outs I did on the plants. Today I harvested the smaller one and was surprised it actually was quite alright in terms of yield. Tomorrow, I'll cut the big one and I hope there will still be some good bud structures left as this one grew so nice, especially for being a dwarf :-D Will update as soon as I've got more news! UPDATE: I cut the big one as well and am very pleased with the yield I have from this grow. Was not an easy grow since the weather was shit and I've had to throw away some decent buds because of bud rot, but all in all it looks promising :-) DRY WEIGHT: 48g of fresh buds (had to throw away at least what could have been 10-15 grams because of bud rot)

I really enjoyed growing this single plant in a small space like a first indoor experience. The end result is not exceptional but it is fully acceptable for the setup and the period in which the plant has grown. I very soon hope to bring more serious diaries to really start having fun.

Blätter werden immer gelber 🤯 Bekomme es nicht in den Griff !! Der nächste Grow auf jeden Fall mit ec und ph Überwachung und strickt nach Düngerplan!! Temperaturen gehen auf 26-29 grad 24/0 Licht eventuell zu viel /: Nährstoffe 🤯 Die Einzelnen Zweige hab ich mit bodenanker und Schnur auseinander gezogen damit sie nicht zu dicht sind und sich gegenseitig das Licht wegnehmen ..

Plant looking OK with signs of pre-flowering. All LST'd stems almost fully over pot edge and nodes on the stems developing well. All plants currently growing seem smaller when I compare the pics to my previous grows at the same age. Only one feed this this past week as I allowed the pots to dry out from the rain in the previous week. Supplemented feed yesterday with my Beneficial Booster. I made a mistake when preparing and put in double the amount of molasses but the plants seem to be tolerating it so far this morning.
