Big week! I got my new EarthBoxes and a bunch of goodies. I picked up the Probiotic Farmer's Alliance kit from BuildASoil, so I also got some EM-1, Kashi Blend, dolomite lime and Malibu compost. Alongside that I picked up Colorado Worm Compost (vermicompost), Gnarley Barley (malted barley, corn and hemp) and Craft Blend (aprox 3-5-2 organic mix). Unfortunately there was a bag of soil missing, so I ended up using my own mix though I am somewhat scared of it being too clay-heavy for the SIP. I inoculated with EM-1 and began fermenting a batch of activated EM-1 to make the bottle last longer. It looks about a week from LST, after that I hope to set up a two-tier SCROG setup and begin growing the bushes. I will begin spraying AEM-1/EM-FPE/EM-5 alternatively once a week for IPM, I will try to avoid using neem this round (unless I find this approach lacking). I also brewed a batch of EM-FPE with aloe that smells incredible, I can't wait to give it a go.

11/06 Day 45 Temp 25c Humidity 57% Not a lot to report, I'm going to leave them be until their next feeding on Sunday 12/06 Day 46 Temp 27c Humidity 60% 13/06 Day 47 🌞 Temp 28c Humidity 67% Ordered another Spider Farmer light. This time the SF4000. Combined with the Sf2000 I'm currently growing under it'll be 600W or as near to as possible. It should arrive in time for flowering at the end of next week. 14/06 Day 48 🍼 Temp 27c Humidity 65% Fed the monsters 1.5L of solution each. Retrained and defoliated the lower fan leaves and removed some new tops that are appearing in order to create more space between branches Another two weeks like this and I'll switch them into flower 15/06 Day 49 Temp 28c Humidity 59% Slight tweaking of the training I did yesterday. Everyone looks happy and growing in the right direction. 16/06 Day 50 Temp 28c Humidity 59% Left the ladies to recover and compose themselves today. 17/06 Day 51 Temp 28c Humidity 59% trimmed a few nodes of one that was injured so I let it to grow out a bit more and recover

Note : Jegliches Equipment aufgelistet welches ich nutze findet Ihr in der Germinations Woche !!! Day 15 : ich weiss noch nicht ob der mineralische dünger wirklich sofort etwas gebracht hat . schauen wir was die zeitraffer so vermitteln. ist es seit gestern schneller am wachsen ? Day 16 : PPFD 275 * 20h = DLI 19.8 Day 17: + 0.5L Flaschenwasser (EC 0.26) + + Canna Rizothonic + + Canna Terrar Vega + = Total EC 0.68 (PH 7.2) + Final PH 6.15 Day 18: es wächst Day 19: es wächst immer noch ventilation übern blätterdach angemacht. ich glaub daher kommt das ruckeln im video Day 20: + 0.5L Flaschenwasser (EC 0.26) + + Canna Rizothonic + + Canna Terrar Vega + = Total EC 0.68 (PH 7.2) + Final PH 6.15 + 0.5L Leitungswasser (PH 8.0) Der Stamm hat sich in den letzten 3 Tagen verdreifacht vom Volumen. Jetzt hat er so Bleistift dicke erreicht. Day 21: die temps und relative luftfeuchte sind hier zwischen 58%-68% und 23.5°-25.5°C . reguliert sich aber immer zu den höheren werten . ist hier halt so :))

🍃 Purple Haze Photo A — Week 4 | Preparing for Gravity-Fed Growth Every grow has one plant that quietly starts telling you a story before flowering even begins. Purple Haze A is becoming exactly that. Growing under the same Future of Grow LED, receiving the same PPFD, sharing the exact nutrient recipe, environmental conditions and care as every other plant inside the tent, she has decided to express herself in a completely different way. Instead of remaining compact, she has embraced her sativa heritage and is already showing the elegant structure Purple Haze is famous for. Longer internodes. Large healthy fan leaves. Fast vertical growth. Strong side branching. Exactly the characteristics we hoped to see. This diary is part of my ongoing 12/12 From Seed Challenge, documenting every step exactly as it happens. No shortcuts, no hidden techniques—just honest observations from a home grower enjoying the journey one day at a time. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 Development This week was all about preparing for the next big milestone. Purple Haze continued building an exceptionally strong root system while producing vigorous new shoots across every node. The leaves are deep green, beautifully flat and reaching toward the light, showing excellent nutrient uptake and a very healthy metabolism. Stem thickness has increased noticeably, giving plenty of confidence that she’ll easily support future flower production. The spacing between branches also makes her an excellent candidate for training later, allowing light to penetrate naturally through the canopy. Sometimes you can already tell a plant has personality long before flowers appear. This one certainly does. ⸻ 🚿 Time for AutoPot This week also marks another exciting step. Purple Haze A will soon become one of the plants running on my AutoPot system. Since every plant in this project receives identical lighting, nutrients and environmental conditions, this creates a great opportunity to observe one important variable: Top watering versus gravity-fed irrigation. Rather than trying to prove one method is universally better, I simply enjoy comparing different growing styles under the same conditions and documenting the results honestly. That is one of the things I love most about this hobby. Every grow teaches something new. ⸻ 💧 What is an AutoPot? For anyone discovering these diaries for the first time, AutoPots are a completely passive irrigation system. There are: ❌ No pumps ❌ No electricity ❌ No timers Instead, everything works using gravity. A nutrient reservoir sits slightly higher than the pots, allowing the solution to flow naturally through the tubing. Inside each tray sits the heart of the system: The AquaValve The AquaValve is an ingenious little mechanical valve. When the tray becomes empty, the valve opens and allows fresh nutrient solution to flow in. Once the tray reaches the correct water level, the valve automatically closes. The plant then drinks exactly what it wants. Only after the tray is empty again does the cycle repeat. Because the substrate experiences a natural wet-dry rhythm while always having nutrients available when needed, roots tend to develop extremely well. Healthy roots often translate into healthier plants. At least, that has been my experience. ⸻ 🌿 Why I Enjoy Growing with AutoPots Every grower eventually finds methods that simply fit their style. For me, AutoPots offer several advantages: • Consistent moisture around the root zone • Reduced daily watering workload • Excellent oxygen availability inside the substrate • Stable nutrient delivery • Very vigorous vegetative growth Perhaps most importantly… They let me spend more time observing the plants instead of carrying watering cans every day. And honestly, watching the AquaValve quietly doing its job never gets old. ⸻ 📊 Week 4 Environment • Week 4 — Vegetation • Height: 25 cm • EC: 1.35 • pH: 6.1 • Temperature: 33°C Day / 25°C Night • RH: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Water consumption: approximately 1.1 L per plant every 24 hours ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Schedule This week the nutrition remained simple and balanced using the Plagron Terra line. • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L The plant responded beautifully with rich green foliage, vigorous growth and absolutely no signs of nutrient stress. Exactly the kind of consistency every grower hopes for. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 4 feels like the beginning of something special for Purple Haze A. She has developed into a vigorous, healthy young plant with beautiful structure, outstanding leaf health and plenty of energy heading toward the flowering stretch. Now the AutoPot system enters the picture, adding another interesting chapter to this diary. Whether gravity feeding produces bigger plants or simply makes life easier, we’ll discover together over the coming weeks. That’s the beauty of documenting everything honestly. Every plant becomes its own little experiment. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and supporting home growing around the world. Special thanks to all the amazing companies helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia Seeds — for the incredible Purple Haze genetics. ? Plagron — for providing the complete Terra nutrient line and outstanding growing media. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for delivering consistent full-spectrum lighting throughout the entire grow. 🌿 GrowDiaries — for bringing together growers from every corner of the world and giving us a place to learn from one another. And finally… Thank you for taking the time to follow this adventure. Your comments, advice, questions and encouragement make these diaries far more enjoyable to create. Growers Love and see you next week, where Purple Haze A begins her AutoPot journey in earnest. 🌱💜

New week. 55-65 DLi. Development seems a little slow, which can be good or bad. Probably give her a PK boost later in the week. The dodecahedron is the only Platonic solid that has infinite numerical pathways.

Going to start feeding GHE CALiMAGic 2.5ml per gal, and Floraflex V1+V2 at a 1:1 ratio of 1.5 grams per gallon PH 6.1 daily. Also adding a CO2 generator in hopes to promote vigorous growth early on since this is supposed to be a quicker flowering stain. Growers Recharge will be applied once a week on Saturdays from here on out.

Die kleine Larry hat nur eine halbe Woche 20 gehabt und wurde Samstag geerntet. Der Schimmel kam dann doch. AK ist bisher verschont geblieben. Sie hat später begonnen,zu blühen und hat bisher nicht so große buds entwickelt. Aber ich lass sie noch stehen.in der Hoffnung, sie baut noch ein bisschen Masse in ihrer wahrscheinlich letzten Woche. Es geht dem Ende entgegen. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Stacking continues. Pardon the fly catcher have a few fruit flies in the house. The smell is more subtle and fruity/citrus than some I've grown. Outside the tent... Well the carbon filter isn't holding everything back. Touching the buds leaves a very nice smell on the fingers. This things ridiculously frosty! Might end up looking damn near white. Probably 2 or 3 weeks to harvest, hoping for it to be smooth sailing from here.
