Cosmic Noodles Auto — Final Strain Review 14 Weeks From Seed To Harvest — 12/12 From Seed What a ride this one has been. Our Cosmic Noodles Auto officially comes to an end after 14 weeks from seed to harvest, grown fully under a 12/12 light cycle from day one, side by side with photoperiods and other autoflower genetics inside the 8x8 tent — no special treatment, no isolated environment, no extended light schedules. And honestly? She absolutely crushed expectations. This entire run was another reminder that autoflowers do not necessarily need 18/6 or 24/0 to produce beautiful flowers and respectable yields. With proper environment, stable feeding, patience, and healthy roots, they can still thrive and deliver excellent results even under a no-veg approach like this one. We started this project with three plants. One of them unfortunately became part of an overwatering experiment that eventually led to losing the plant around early-to-mid flower. While painful, it became an important educational moment. We documented the process honestly so growers could learn from it — what overwatering looks like, how roots respond, and what to avoid. If anyone is interested, those reports are still available further back in the diary. The remaining two plants, however, grew with very little resistance. Easygoing, vigorous, resilient, and surprisingly adaptable considering the mixed environment and unconventional schedule. And in the end? 372.1 grams dry from the two harvested plants. For autoflowers grown under 12/12 from seed, mixed together with photoperiods, we are genuinely very happy with these numbers. But beyond numbers, what truly stood out was the quality. ⸻ Drying Process After harvest, the plants were dried whole for approximately 10 days. The environment stayed around: * ~20°C * ~60% RH During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally kept closer to ~45% to help remove the initial excess surface moisture from the flowers before stabilizing the drying curve more gently afterward. The slow dry helped preserve aroma, resin texture, and overall flower integrity beautifully. And the smell coming from the drying room… incredible. ⸻ Hand Trimming — Slow, Sticky & Worth It Once drying was complete, every flower was separated and hand-trimmed carefully using the Zamnesia scissors together with the Trim Bin setup. Hand trimming takes time. A lot of time. But it also allows a level of precision and care that machine trimming simply cannot replicate. Every bud gets individual attention. Resin heads stay more protected. Structure remains more natural. And honestly, it becomes part of the ritual itself. Our fingers were absolutely coated in resin by the end of it. Sticky gloves. Sticky scissors. Sticky everything. The Trim Bin itself collected a beautiful layer of golden dry sift during the process, and naturally, none of that went to waste. Everything was collected carefully and stored cold for future enjoyment. Even the smallest parts of the harvest deserve respect. ⸻ Curing — The Part Many People Rush After trimming, the flowers were placed into Grove Bags for curing. For larger harvests especially, these bags are honestly an amazing tool. The TerpLoc technology helps maintain the internal humidity in the ideal curing range of approximately 58–62%, reducing the need for constant burping while helping protect the flowers from excessive moisture swings. This matters because curing is not simply “storing weed.” Curing is the process where the flowers slowly stabilize and mature internally: * chlorophyll continues breaking down * harshness reduces * aromas become cleaner and deeper * terpenes settle and express themselves better * smoke quality improves significantly This is why we usually prefer allowing at least one month of curing minimum, while many flowers continue improving for two or even three months depending on the cultivar and storage conditions. Patience changes the experience dramatically. And Cosmic Noodles definitely rewarded patience. ⸻ Aroma & Smoke Even straight off the trim, the first smoke test was already extremely enjoyable. The dominant profile came through as: * citrus * floral notes * earthy depth * creamy herbal background As curing progressed, the profile did not change dramatically — it simply became more refined, cleaner, smoother, and more layered. The smoke itself leans toward the relaxing side. Comfortable, calming, peaceful. Not a “race your brain” type of cultivar, but more something to slow down with and enjoy properly. A dedicated smoke review will eventually come separately, but first impressions are honestly fantastic. ⸻ The Final Flowers The cured flowers developed beautifully over time. Dense but still natural. Resin-rich without looking artificially swollen. Strong aroma retention. Sticky interiors. Frosty surfaces. And some truly beautiful structure throughout the harvest. We are also sharing photos of the cured flowers after roughly one and a half months of curing so people can see how the flowers evolved after resting properly. Because sometimes the real magic happens after harvest. ⸻ Final Thoughts Cosmic Noodles Auto turned out to be: * easy to grow * adaptable * resilient * productive * aromatic * enjoyable from start to finish And most importantly: fun. No drama. No impossible feeding requirements. No extreme sensitivity. Just a solid cultivar capable of producing beautiful medicine even under unconventional conditions like 12/12 from seed. For us, this one easily earns: ⭐ 10/10 ⭐ ⸻ Thank You Huge thanks to everybody involved in this journey: * the breeders and genetics teams * the companies providing gear and support * the platforms that allow us to document these grows * the communities following along * the OG followers who have been here since the beginning * the new people just discovering the diary now * the supporters * the skeptics * the silent viewers * even the haters stopping by for five seconds Love is still sent your way. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for accompanying us through the cure once again. 🍃 Because in the end, this was never only about chasing numbers. It was about learning, documenting, improving, sharing experiences, and appreciating the process from seed to final smoke. From grower to growers — much love. 🌱 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

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.

not sure how to upload this grow, I have been making Youtube Videos for this grow rather then updloading here on regular basis, I am going to attempt to upload all photos and videos up to current day for flower

Alright, these ladies are mid way through week 7 day 52 of bud. Just 3 days ago i started the flush stage for these plants even tho I’ve heard 1000x that it’s not necessary for organic gardens. I still do it just because. So these ladies got fed 2gal each of plain PH corrected water. With no sugars of any kind added. They all seem to be flushing out very well with most of their leafs turning yellow with purple on the tips. If you see any crumpled leafs it’s from last week when I noticed my soil PH had drifted to high. So I’ve been trying to correct it but these ladies are just about done so I’m not to worried. It looks like we got 1 week left on the Train Wreck and maybe 2 weeks on the OG and the Melato. The Train Wreck actually looks ready to chop down now but when I got up close with a jewel scope I saw that her trichome development is only at 50% cloudy and 47% clear with maybe around 3% amber. So I’m sure she will be ready by the day 58 mark but the OG and the Melato will probably go to around day 65. Anyways thanks for checking out the garden. be sure to check in on next weeks update when I harvest the Train Wreck🤙

One of the two phenos is a week ahead of the other. The buds are developing and frosting up real nice. Im having a little issue with yellowing fan leaves on the upper half of the plants... after some research it seems like some growers have the same issue with this strain so idk... any thoughts? I dusted off a old camera I hadn't used in a long time, working on taking better quality pictures. Thanks for following

Mr Pipi loves seeing Frost. Starts to get shiny in the building. Smell was always like a fruity Whick Vaporub, but now the Menthol/Minty is not the most present and it gets more floral (kind of).

I'm so happy to see pre flowers at 4 weeks... going into week 5 Dutch Blue Automatic is looking strong and robust growth everywhere. Thank you Marcel, @ Spliff Seeds for the opportunity to grow! Life is good! The true UVB light has been killing any insects and any mildew or mold... UVB is a must have in every garden.

Le 41e jour se déroule paisiblement pour mes précieuses plantes. Je remarque un léger jaunissement des feuilles, probablement dû au début de la floraison, à un éventuel manque d'azote ou à des processus naturels que je découvre au fil du temps. De plus, des tâches apparaissent sur les feuilles, peut-être en raison d'un déficit en calcium, malgré la dureté élevée de l'eau dans ma région. Je procède également avec prudence en augmentant progressivement le phosphore et le potassium, dans l'espoir de ne pas répéter les erreurs du passé liées à des excès. Chaque jour, je progresse et je m'enrichis d'expérience. Merci de me lire et de partager cette aventure avec moi. 🙏🌱 Remarque : Engrais : légère augmentation du phosphore et potassium et un peu d'azote. Symptômes : taches sur feuilles comme sur les autres cultures. Peut être calcium. Plante très petites et trapue probablement a dominance indica.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale). Did some light pruning also.

Flush week

Hey everyone :-) This week a lot has happened 🤗🍀. The 5 that are already in the 12/12 cycle explode day after day 😍😅. All others have been repotted, and will remain in the vegi phase for 1-2 weeks. Otherwise there is not much to say 😃. I wish you all a good start into the week, let it grow and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀🌱

New home bigger pots finish of this training and flip them

5/11 I DID NOT WATER. A COUPLE LOOKED DRY BUT STILL HAD HEFT AND I COULD FEEL MOUSTURE IN THE SOIL. I should've taken more pictures. I forgot it's a new week. Oh well. I'll be back over and I'm planning to bring the girls outside for the first time if it warms up a little more. It's windy as fuck but I can put them in the garage with the doors open. As long as that's not the direction of the wind. I raised the L.E.D light and lowered the hps. I also TRIED to FIM a 10th planet and an mk ultra. I may have just topped them. We'll see how it turns out before I do anything to the others. Pink kush grows slow and compact. Very similar to my experience with purple punch. I have two plants that have slightly twisted leaves. Nothing else is wrong with anything. Looking at the stippling on the leaf I think it might just be either low humidity or slight wind burn or a combination of the two. Now that I've looked again I think it might just be the first 5 finger leaf on those pink kush that I mat have mistaken. I'll keep an eye out. I feel better having done some research. I'll put some more pictures up and I'll update what it is that I get done. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AROUND THREE. EVERUTHING LOOKED GREAT AND THE LEAVES WETE PRAYING ON SOME. I MAY NEED TO WATER SELECT PLANTS TOMORROW. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR. LOWER THE HPS AND RAISING THE LED WAS A WISE CHOICE I THINK. OH AND THE "TWISTED" LEAF I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS NOTHING. JUST THE FAN TO CLOSE AND A FOMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY AND MINOR HEAT STRESS. ITS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WANTED TO BRING THE GIRLS OUT TODAY. ITS SUNNY AND 60° BUT THE WIND IS WHIPPING! WE'VE GOT GOOD WEATHER COMING UP THOUGH WITH TEMPS IN THE 70'S. I THINK TOMORROW ILL CLEAN/SANITIZE THE CAGE AND WASH/SANITIZE THE GROW BAGS. 5/12 Looking and lifting some of the pots I found some that were pretty much totally dry. I watered the majority of all the plants. If soil was moist I left it alone. If it looked a little dry I gave it a little water. I didn't measure the water but it wasnt even ALL of what I had left from LAST WATERING (which was like a qtr gallon If that). I just don't want to over water. The ones that I went light on last time were the ones that were dry. Plants seem to explode after watering but this wasn't nearly as much. Everything is looking great. It's easy to tell these are all indicas due to the structure and leaf shape. Much different than even the Chem Dog #4 which doesn't LOOK as "indicay" as some of the others. I wanted to bring them outside today but it's only 50 out. I'm not going to make the same mistake as years past and stress the plants. When we get a nice warm day I'll bring them out. Other plants are ready to be topped or fimmed but I haven't done it yet. Also need to clean the cage and wash the bags. 5/13 It's 60° at 9am so I think the girls will be going outside for a little bit. Didn't fully water but I used what was left of the gallon and gave them that. Some are much drier than others. I'll probably give them a full watering tomm. I only gave them a little today because I didn't want them drying out. I FIMMed a Special Kush today. WE'LL see how the hst turns out. EDIT: WENT AND BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR FOUR HOURS IN INDIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE TENTH PLANETS WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD AN ISSUE. JUST MINOR HEAT OR LIGHT ISSUES WITH A COUPLE FAN LEAVES. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMED LIKE THEY SHOT UP IN SIZE. THE LARGER CONTAINERS STILL SEEM KINDA MOIST BUT SOME ARE DRY. I NEED TO GET ON A STABLE WATER SCHEDULE. ITS HARD WITH DUFFERENT PLANTS OF VARYING SIZES. STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. 5/14 One plant was super light today and was a little droopy. I WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY USING APPROX A HALF GALLON. I brought them outside for the second day. I left them out for about 3hrs. It's hot today. I'm still floored that chatgtp gave me exact directions for hardening my plants off at my exact location taking the weather into consideration! That is awesome. They're all doing good. Pink kush is the slow starter this year. Kind of like purple punch was. The only plants that had ANY damage on them was the two 10th planet's and its not really damage. It's just a LITTLE mottling on the leaf and the serrations pointing down. It's weird because this strain did great here last time. The Special Kush #1 and the Pink Kush would probably be fine to leave out soon. Hindu Kush parents make those strains extremely resilient. The one chem dog #4 looks out of place with all tjis big fat indica leaves. I'm hoping the topping and fim-ing will take. It looks like it will. 5/15 Everything is looking great! I have some work to do bit then I'll be over to bring the girls out for a few hours. I'll edit this when I do. EDIT: BROUGHT THE GIRLS OUT FOR THREE HOURS TODAY. I THOUGHT THE TENP WENT DOWN TO 73 BUT TUAT WAS INDOORS. OH WELL. THEY STILL DID GREAT! THEY WERE ALL LOOKING OUT OF THE LEAN-TO LIKE SUNFLOWERS! THE STRAIGHTEN OUT AFTER BEING UNDER THE GROW LIGHTS. I'M PLANNING TO CONTINUE TO HARDEN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. STILL NEED TO CLEAN BAGS AND GROW AREA. I HAVE 'A' CAMERA DOWN. TRIED TO FIX IT TODAY BUT I WOULD GET RO THE LAST PART BUT THE CAMERA WOULDNT READ THE QR CODE ON MY PHONE. I EMAILED THE COMPANY BUT IF I DONT HEAR BACK BY TOMORROW AND I CANT FIX IT ILL JUST BUY ANOTHER CAMERA TO ADD TO THE SYSTEM. ITS THE OLDEST CAMERA I HAVE AND ITS DONE ME 5 GOOD YEARS. MAYBE ITS TIME TO RETIRE IT. 5/16 I watered a few of the girls this morning with a small ring around the pot. I brought them outside and am leaving them for 3.5 hours today in the lean-to. They get indirect light without all the wind this way. I'll slowly increase the hours outside until there is enough daylight for them to go outside without revegging. When I put them out I noticed that a few were light and since it was close to 80° I watered most everything. I used under a half gallon. I'll see how they do from here and then move forward. I fixed my down security camera and secured my cage. Now I just need to finish hardening off, clean/sanitize bags/environment and put them in tjeir final homes. I'm not rushing it though. I've learned my lesson with that. 5/17 Plants did great yesterday and were perky and praying this morning. It was HOT yesterday too. Got into the low 80's. It's 57° degrees at 9am and it's overcast and sprinkling. I haven't decided if I'm going to bring the girls out today. It might be a good day to try some direct sunlight. I'll update whatever I decide to do.

Letzte Woche vor der Ernte. Es wird sehr bunt, leider etwas zu bunt.. die Fäulnis hat Opfer gefordert. Aber das war natürlich absehbar aufgrund von Struktur der Blüten, geografische Lage, Jahreszeit, Wetterverhältnisse usw. Gekeimt am 10.06.24 geerntet am 16.10.24 In Betracht aller Gegebenheiten und Faktoren bin ich mit dem grow relativ zufrieden. Ein sehr schöner Strain, ich freue mich drauf ihn nochmal Indoor zu grown. Zum Glück habe ich Stecklinge geschnitten. 💚

Let her show us her unlimited potential; all possibilities exist within the present moment, yet most people predict the future based on past experience, when you are truly present. The observer effect is the phenomenon where the act of observing or measuring a system inevitably alters its state is a concept fundamental to quantum mechanics and applicable to various fields. It occurs because measuring tools interact with the subject (e.g., photons hitting a particle), rather than requiring conscious observation. Detection forces particles to behave differently—acting as particles rather than waves. It is closely related to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Light exhibits a wave-particle duality, acting as both an electromagnetic wave and a particle (photon) depending on how it is observed. It travels like a wave (refraction, interference) but interacts with matter as distinct, quantized packets of energy, known as photons. This duality is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Quantum particles, including light, can exist in multiple states or locations at once (superposition). In complex processes like photosynthesis, light energy acts as both a wave and a particle, traversing all possible paths simultaneously to select the most efficient route, acting as a "quantum computer". Particles can become so deeply linked that the state of one instantly influences the other, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon, initially doubted by Einstein, has been validated through rigorous experimentation. When researchers quantize the classical electromagnetic field, the theory predicts four potential oscillation modes, but only two are observable. The other two are "ghost" photons—unobservable yet necessary for the mathematical framework of quantum theory. Quantum mechanics is not limited to cold, isolated laboratory settings. Research indicates that plants utilize quantum coherence at room temperature to achieve 99% efficiency in photosynthesis. Recent experiments have shown that light can be manipulated to exist in dozens of dimensions, which could revolutionize quantum computing and secure communication. New research suggests that classical light interference patterns arise from, and are controlled by, specific quantum states known as bright and dark states, which persist even when light waves appear to cancel each other out. These findings challenge the fundamental understanding of reality, suggesting that the universe is far more interconnected, probabilistic, and mysterious than previously imagined. Emotion is the chemical experience of energy passing through a conscious vessel, e-motion, energy in motion. Emotions are fundamentally neurochemical events. Neurotransmitters (like dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) and hormones (like cortisol, oxytocin) dictate what we feel. The word emotion itself comes from the Latin emovere ("to move out/move away"). Emotions are literally energy in motion—nervous system activation, shifts in heart rate, muscle tension, and electrical impulses in the brain. Consciousness experiencing itself with amnesia, mother nature, father time, electromagnetic light/sound matrix evolution making sunlights data durable using water and magnetism as its template to store in DNA, less of a body with a soul and more a soul within a body. Clock-like recording device. That's why it matters, that's why you matter. Thats why it's never too late, lead to gold. Ecclesiastes 12:13

Installed my new CO2 generator yesterday, closed loop system so won't attract bugs like the other. Also have an exhale bag hanging up top of tent. After talking to a few of you guys decided to drop light down to 18-19in @ 80% So getting ready to wrap up week 6, may be one more update before we move on. Plant 1 (Left from front view of tent) Seem to be doing great, had to flush and adjust feed was getting minor def's. Soil seems a bit of a mess when I flushed, most likely from me feeding way to early and too much. So I kind of expected that, so it backs up the hypothesis that I actually know whats goning on for the most part . lol. I stabilized it. Plant 2 (Right from front view of tent) Stopped LST on this one last week, I overfed it way to early, and probably got too much light early on too so its lagging behind a little, but hanging on. Picked up some nute burn, flushed out and stabilized everything and adjusted feed sched. Seems to be hanging on strong though just a smaller slower guy. Overall nothing drastic, except MORE FLOWERS!!!, which is good. Thanks to a few of you guys I know understand monitoring EC and PH much more indepth and will continue to monitor throughout and from now on. I didn't want to take on too much learning and get overwhelmed. Figured I would do it when I had to and had an issue. Well I did, and now understand. So that should be a great help moving forward. Shout out to @Creepy_Steve @HappyWeeds specifically, but literally everyone I have spoken to here has been great, and more helpful than you can hope for. I have learned so much in so little time. THANKYOU! 😎

everything is going very well, the girls have developed, we have found a hermaphrodite, what a surprise my colleague got when he found one with eggs, what a scare! I saw a video of a Mexican whose technique consists of breaking the male balls and letting the flower clean and do it every day as soon as new shoots come out, there comes a time when they no longer grow and only the female hairs follow, I will see that That's how it goes, if I can, when I visit the indoor, a photo of the hermaphrodite will be taken, only one of the girls, I don't know if she got stressed or what happened, the others continue to flower normally, big beautiful females, I'm amazed, how many showed my first crop, I see it great what do you think friends
