The flowering stage is progressing really well and I’m genuinely happy with how she’s coming along at week 7. The first brown pistils have already started showing on two of the branches, which confirms she’s deep into her flowering cycle now — right on schedule for Glue Gelato Auto. Next week I’m planning to significantly increase the flowering nutrients — particularly Big One and Top Candy, which should really push bud size and resin production from here on. Around the middle of the week I’ll also do a proper defoliation, clearing out the fan leaves that are blocking light from reaching the lower bud sites. The canopy has filled in nicely but it needs opening up to let those buds really fatten up. Water intake has increased quite a bit — I’ve stepped up from one liter to two, and even then the soil is nearly bone dry by early morning. That kind of uptake is a good sign — the roots are clearly healthy and the plant is working hard to fuel bud development. I’ll be watching closely to see if she needs even more as things progress. I’ve also been doing regular branch adjustments, gently repositioning the roped branches to keep the canopy level and make sure every top is getting its share of light. Nothing too aggressive at this point — just keeping things tidy. Week 7 feels like a critical stage now. Pushing the flowering nutrients harder from here should make a real difference in final bud size and density.

DAY 28 Flowering: Hi all. I hope we are all well and sane with our family and friends intact. It has been a very strange week with some brilliant fortune that led to a slight dilemma. I had entered an online comp to win a p4000 by viparspectra. As I had used the xs1500 i was eligible to enter a picture for their photo competition. I never expected to win and there were some really nice entries too . It was a vote and not a sponsors choice for the win so this was an even more positive result for me . The light arrived and curiosity had me opening it !!!. With a 1ft wider coverage in flower and the issue of bunching up I was managing , it felt like a no brainer . After a very quick set up and hang ot was full power and full steam ahead. I hope this explains the change you may notice in the pics now. These ladies have grown very very bushy now and needed the spacing out a little too. I did het busy removing some more of the big fans too and had a little clear out of some small piffle... They are all really strong when I try to move their limbs now so I hope this is a future cast of big fruits to hold on them !!. There is a really nice sweet smell coming off the Amnesia haze and they are beginning to get quite tacky to touch now too. With 400w of full spectrum including so e it and far reds , we could have some sexy bud pirn glistening in no time. Lol Be well growmies. Until the next one.

Woche 8 hat super angefangen und auch sehr gut zu Ende gebracht. Durch die kühlen Temperaturen sind die Blüten lila geworden. Ich habe die Tanks nach ein paar Tagen auf nur Wasser umgestellt, damit die Damen die letzten Nährstoffe aus dem Boden ziehen können und sich fürs Ende umstellen. Das einzigste was ich noch weiter einstelle ist das ph wert vom Wasser auf 6.0

Week 3 is here and again thank you to all you fellow grower’s that have stopped by to show the love 👊🏻✌️ a massive thank you to James @RQS for trusting me with this grow. A link to their website below go check them out 🙌 . Well we are at the start of week 3. Moving along nice and steady. Starting to really struggle with RH yesterday was down to 40% for most of the day. Managed to get it back to 50%. I think I will top them all towards the end of the week but I need to see more growth before I do this. Day 17, watered last night. Started to train the first plant. I’m going onto the back one either tonight or tomorrow. Turned the heat Matt off as I think the roots were getting too warm 🤷 we carry on. ✌️👊🏻 Day 18, adjusted the ties on this lady gone in fairly hard so we shall see how she handles it. Topped the other weeding cake today too. Let’s see how they look in a couple days. ✌️🙌 Day 20, watered last night. Slow and steady happy with how they have progressed after training and topping. ✌️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/

Die letzte laufende Woche. Jetzt checke ich jeden Tag die Trichome ab und wenn alles mir gefällt, kommt sie 2 Tage ins dunkle, bevor ich sie aufhänge zum trocknen. Dünger gab es letzte mal vor eine Woche, seit dem nur noch mit Wasser gegossen. Die elenden Spinnenmilben haben es sich auf Ihr sehr bequem gemacht, so das ich bei ihr denke ein Budwashing machen werde vor dem Trocknen je nachdem wie viel Gespinste da sein werden. Die Raubmilben leisten trotzdem starken Widerstand und sind schon sehr aktiv dabei. Von den Terpenen her, habe ich ein absolutes Biest gegriffen! Bei dem entfernen so mancher Fächerblätter, überkam mir ein starker Geruch von Mandarinenschalen und Zitrusgerüchen... die schon ein wenig zu stark ausgeprägt waren und schon nach Parfumiertem Reinigungsmittel erinnerten. Oder an Toilettenerfrischer 😂 aufjedenfall ein absoluten Terp Monster so wie ich es nur bis jetzt ähnlich an der CBD 20:1 Auto von Fastbuds gerochen habe.

BIGGER:STRONGER:FASTER #NITROHAZE #OUTDOORGANG D55 ah sido una semana muy fria con nada de sol en los ultimos dos dias, se sigue estirando y creciendo. Las noches frias y humedas mantienen muy humedo el sustrato... intento regar poco y solo con nutriente. Delta 8 y 9. 1 riego semanal de micorrizas-wonderland. D57 hoy porfin es un dia con sol . Todos los dias anteriores a partir del dia 50 fueron muy frios y sin nada de sol (Estamos entrando a invierno en mi localidad), la tierra se mantiene muy humeda por lo frio de las noches, intento regar solo una vez a la semana y es con fertilizantes Cannabiogen. Aun no vuelvo a regar foliar con jabon potasico, pero basto con un riego para eliminar bichos de la planta. D60 Nos cambiamos de casa, por eso tambien comenzaran a variar laa horas de sol directo a medida que vaya viendo horas de sol y acomodandome en la casa nueva. Se ve super sana ah crecido bastante, quiero hacer algun corte (FIM o Apical) pero me da miedo de afectar algo. Temperaturas siguen bajas, poco riego porque mantiene el sustrato humedo por el clima. Y solo riego con 1LT de agua y soluciones nutritivas cannabiogen. D61 Hoy no aguante hice corte FIM. Una vez que en las ramas secundarias crezcan dos nodos hare apical en esas ramas, el cambio de casa me obligo a realizar stress FIM. Proximamente le sumare LST

LST has gone well, branches are as far away from the middles as I can get them. Very happy so far, however grow costs are creeping up with the heater and two spider farmer sf1000s. No leaf issues, it's paid off not using any nutrients at all so far. Just tap wate which is hard where I am. Signs of pre flowers....will add 1/4 recommended flowering nutrients, probably at the end of the coming week.

The thoughts shared in this journal are my own—a snapshot of personal understanding at the exact moment of writing. It is not intended as a reference of absolute fact, but rather as an exercise in ἐπίνοια (epinoia): an exploration of thought, intuition, and creative insight. Epinoia(ἐπίνοια) is a Greek term meaning thought, intention, purpose, or conception, stemming from "mind" (nous) and "upon" (epi), representing the mind's reflective or creative process, used in philosophy (Aristotle, Gnosticism) and theology to discuss understanding and divine names, appearing once in the New Testament for the "intent of your heart" (Acts 8:22). It signifies the mind's operation to form ideas or designs, contrasting with raw data or innate perception, and in Gnosticism, it's an emanation of divine wisdom (Sophia). "Φsis" is a stylized spelling of the Ancient Greek word φύσις (physis), which translates directly to "nature" or the intrinsic essence of a living thing. Exploring the deep intersection of science, intuition, and creative insight often leads to breakthroughs that challenge our understanding of what is possible. When we approach high-performance cultivation not just as a hobby, but as an exercise in pushing a biological system to its absolute genetic ceiling, the results can transform from simple data points into profound proof of concept. Achieving a highly optimized environment requires a shift in mindset away from empty promises and directly toward verifiable proof, building true confidence through a detailed archive of past lessons and strategic adjustments. This philosophy turns a standard space into a precise mass and energy balance equation, where every variable is managed to eliminate biological bottlenecks entirely. In a recent project four individual plants produced 344 grams, 280 grams, 445 grams, and 255 grams respectively, resulting in a total harvest of 1,324 grams, or 47.2 ounces, of dry product. Operating with a 600-watt light source inside a four-by-four footprint, this brings the final efficiency to an exceptional 2.21 grams per watt. To put this in perspective, the standard traditional indoor benchmark has long been established at 1.0 grams per watt, while expert commercial operations target 1.5 grams per watt, and elite commercial systems push the envelope between 1.8 and 2.0 grams per watt. Reaching 2.21 grams per watt places the outcome squarely within the top 0.1 percent of global benchmarks, acting as a true statistical outlier that demonstrates what happens when flawless environmental parameters meet a cultivar pushed to its maximum potential. Reaching this level of mastery demands that we move past the common trap of the mirror fallacy, where the ego mistakes its own limited perspective for universal truth and views different ideas as personal threats. True progress requires curiosity and dismantling the illusion that our immediate viewpoint is the objective standard, shifting the focus instead toward how a system actually operates under the absolute laws of physics. In a high-performance setup, maximizing output is never about adding random additives or forcing growth, but rather about systematically removing the limitations that hold the organism back. By maintaining a perfect vapor pressure deficit, ideal root-zone oxygenation, and precise structural canopy training every single minute of the cycle, the plant is freed to express 100 percent of its DNA potential without any lingering genetic latency. Managing a dense canopy inside a tight footprint presents the ultimate challenge of mitigating stagnant air and preventing moisture issues. Overcoming this bottleneck relies on a sophisticated synganic approach, which seamlessly marries the precise control of synthetic mineral inputs with the natural resilience of active organic living soil. This method transforms the room into a closed-loop system where the internal microclimate is entirely isolated from external weather fluctuations and pests. Rather than openly exhausting the atmosphere, the air is continuously recirculated, enriched, and scrubbed using 264-nanometer ultraviolet light. The foundation of this thriving ecosystem is a comprehensive substrate composition designed to provide perfect aeration, structural integrity, and biological buffering. The primary media base integrates expanded clay aggregates, coir chunks, premium coco coir, sphagnum peat moss, horticultural perlite, vermiculite, pumice, and volcanic basalt rock. To continuously condition the soil and fine-tune mineral availability, the mixture is amended with agricultural gypsum, wollastonite, dolomitic limestone, basalt rock dust, micronutrient-rich volcanic ash, greensand, crushed seashells, biochar, and shungite. This mineral architecture creates an incredibly stable environment where active soil biology naturally prevents salt toxicity and ensures steady, reliable nutrition throughout the entire life cycle. Living organisms within the substrate play a vital role in maintaining this delicate biological balance and breaking down organic material. Red wigglers continuously process organic matter into easily accessible plant nutrients while aerating the media; specialized predatory mites offer excellent biological control against common soil pests, and pillbugs excel at breaking down tough, woody elements. These biological components are further supported by a rich layer of organic amendments including high-phosphorus steamed bone meal, high-nitrogen dehydrated blood meal, fish bone meal, cold-processed kelp meal, dehydrated moringa powder, spirulina powder, and marine crustacean biomass rich in chitin. Combined with biological inoculants like mycorrhizal fungi, premium worm castings, and concentrated humic and fulvic acids, the entire system operates as a flawless biological transducer of light and energy. Ultimately, shifting our perspective to view a grow space as a complete mass and energy balance equation changes the entire nature of agriculture. Success ceases to be a matter of luck or anecdotal habits and instead becomes the predictable result of meticulous design, patience, and the strategic elimination of failure. When science, biology, and engineering converge so harmoniously, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate natural systems that sustain life and growth. By sharing these detailed insights and refining our techniques, we can continue to unlock the absolute maximum potential hidden within the living world around us.

Hi guys, some surprises this week. We are now on transition to Flowering period, i have already seen some pre flowers, really smalll. Everything is doing really great , just one plant is with some signals of high fertilization, but nothing critic, its the most small of them. I m watering the plant almost every day, yesterday ( 19/04) i watered with 500ml of water mixed with Bio nova autoflower supermix, and RQS bloom tablets, like 1/8 of tablet per liter. They are drinking a lot now. I will keep every day watering with around 350 - 500 ml per plant, i will vary that according to the plant size and the conditions of the soil. In terms of heat, its doing ok, i added now one more ventilation inside the tent to keep more air moving around the plants. This week, i have also done more LST trainings, really small adjustments, i will do more LST when i start to see big flowers. My plant on the balcony suffered a lot because of my cats ahaha, she is now inside on a window , is recovering but slow growing, she stretched because of lack of light. Today i also decided to switch my main LED 600 W to only red light, only bloom, i was on full spectrum but i will keep for some days on red to give more height to the plant , i also improved the light distance to 70 cm, before was 60 cm. Now the height is around 15 - 20 cm, i want to improve a little the most small ones. Next week, flowering week 😜 I have one doubt , should i defoliate some fan leaves? or that procedure is only on advanced bloom phase ? And should i Keep the Full spectrum, Veg and Bloom LED on, Blue and red. ?
