👋🏻☘️ Started low stress training this week a long with the first proper defoliation to provide more airflow and light coverage. Continuing to bend the main stems down everyday to help even out the canopy as much as I can before adding scrog net next week. Will switch to 12/12 soon. ✌️

This week went really well ! Today we are at day 79 from seed an looking beautiful! One Forbiddin Runtz got chopped an hung to dry out an the rest are still flushing out through the rest of this week! Very nice looking fades coming along on the fan leafs from purple to green , so beautiful ! So happy with these genetics from @fastbuds_genetics! Super sticky an smell is so amazing, room full of purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz the smell you can’t beat, so many berries!!! Well stay tuned for next week! Cheers y’all

LSD — Week 13 From Seed | 12/12 From Seed, No Veg Week 13 from seed, and this room is fully alive. What started as a true 12/12 from seed run—no veg, no transplant games, no extended shaping, just straight into flower from the beginning—has now matured into exactly what this style is meant to show: natural structure, honest expression, and plants allowed to speak for themselves. From day one, these LSD were asked to do one thing only: grow with intent. No long vegetative period. No oversized training sessions. No forced bush structure. No attempt to make them become something they were never meant to be. Just seed, root, stretch, stack, mature. And that is exactly why this room looks the way it does now. ⸻ Why They Look Like This One of the most beautiful things about 12/12 from seed is that it reveals plant character early and honestly. Without a long vegetative period, these plants never had the time—or the pressure—to build wide, heavily manipulated frameworks. Instead, they followed a more natural vertical rhythm: apical dominance stayed intact, main tops remained leading, and side branching developed in support rather than competition. That is why this room carries that classic spear-shaped structure: strong central leaders, supporting side branches, elegant vertical stacking, and that clean “natural Christmas tree” silhouette from top to bottom. For many growers, this shape reads visually “sativa.” Not because the cultivar suddenly became sativa-dominant, but because the growth pattern expresses more like one under this method: taller posture, longer frame, more pronounced central cola, cleaner lateral support, and less squat horizontal bulk. Genetically, that is not the full story. Structurally, though? That is exactly what they are showing. And they are showing it beautifully. ⸻ The Room Is Alive At this stage, the room has changed. This is no longer a room pushing for biomass. This is no longer a room chasing stretch. This is no longer a room trying to build flowers. This is now a room finishing them. And there is a difference. Everything still breathes. Everything still drinks. Everything still moves. But the energy has shifted. The room feels quieter now. Heavier. More deliberate. The metabolism has slowed, but it has not stopped. The plants are still active, still processing, still ripening, still making decisions. They are simply no longer spending energy on building mass the way they were before. Now the focus is density. Oil. Maturation. Expression. Completion. And you can see it everywhere. In the fading leaves. In the shifting greens. In the swelling calyx. In the resin weight. In the smell. In the silence. This room is not slowing down. It is finishing. ⸻ Why We Are No Longer Feeding Nutrients At this stage, we are no longer feeding for growth. The heavy work is done. The plant has already built the frame. It has already stacked the flowers. It has already done the bulk of nutrient-driven expansion. Now the goal is not to keep pushing. Now the goal is to let the plant finish clean. That is why we have moved away from active nutrient feeding and into a much softer finish: water, balance, and enzymes. Not because the plant needs nothing. Because the plant needs less. Late flower is not the moment to keep forcing nitrogen, forcing bulk, or trying to squeeze one more week of artificial push into a plant that is already trying to mature. At this point, more food often does not mean more flower. It usually means more delay. So now we reduce input, reduce excess, reduce waste, and let the plant focus on what matters most: ripening what it already built. ⸻ Why Enzymes Still Matter This late, enzymes are not here to “feed the plant.” They are here to support the system around it. That matters. Enzymes help break down dead root material, leftover organic residue, and unused matter in the medium into simpler compounds the microbial life can continue processing. That keeps the rhizosphere cleaner. More stable. More oxygenated. Less stagnant. In simple terms: enzymes help the root zone age gracefully. And in late flower, that matters more than force-feeding ever will. Especially in a run like this, where the medium is still alive, still active, and still worth preserving after harvest. Because the goal is not just to finish the plant well. The goal is to finish the soil well too. What remains after harvest still matters. That living medium still has value. That biology still has work to do. That soil still has another life ahead of it. So we are not just finishing flowers. We are finishing the cycle properly. ⸻ Trichomes, Calyx, and What Maturity Actually Looks Like This is the stage where people often mistake “more pistils” for “more time” or “fading leaves” for “finished.” Neither one tells the full story on its own. Late flower maturity is not judged by one signal. It is judged by the conversation between all of them. And right now, that conversation is getting very interesting. The calyx are swelling. The flowers are tightening. The resin heads are becoming heavier. The pistils are changing, receding, darkening, and curling back. The leaves are beginning to fade with purpose. That does not mean they are done. It means they are transitioning. This is the window where the plant stops looking like it is building flowers and starts looking like it is sealing them. That is a very different phase. Calyx swelling means the flower is maturing inward. Pistil change means reproductive signaling is slowing. Trichome development means chemistry is shifting. Fade means mobile reserves are being reallocated. None of these alone call harvest. Together, they begin the conversation. And that conversation is clearly underway now. ⸻ PPFD, Light, and the Final Adjustment This late, the job of light changes too. Earlier, high PPFD was there to drive growth, stacking, and metabolic demand. Now that demand is lower. So light intensity comes down with it. Not dramatically. Not suddenly. Just intelligently. As plants approach the end, reducing PPFD helps lower unnecessary stress, reduce excess transpiration, and let the plant focus on ripening instead of defending itself from intensity it no longer needs. Late flower is not about maximum push. It is about controlled finish. And just like nutrients, light now becomes less about force and more about guidance. ⸻ What to Expect Next From here, do not expect explosive growth. That part is over. Do not expect dramatic new stacking. Do not expect sudden weight jumps. Do not expect fresh white explosions everywhere. What to expect now is subtler. Denser flowers. Heavier resin. Slower drinking. More fade. More aroma. Less urgency. More definition. The next stage is not louder. It is deeper. This is where the plant sharpens. This is where the room gets quieter. This is where harvest starts introducing itself before it arrives. Whether this is the final update before chop or simply the one that stands right beside it, one thing is certain: we are close now. And they know it. ⸻ Final Thoughts This room has been a pleasure to walk through. To the team at Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for helping feed the cycle. To GrowDiaries for the platform. To the old heads who have been here since day one. To the new eyes just arriving. To the growers, the learners, the lovers, the skeptics, the silent ones watching, the ones who support loudly, and the ones who just happened to land here by accident— thank you. For the time. For the energy. For the presence. To everyone watching this room evolve in real time: thank you for walking it with us.

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.

Day 98 - still flushing, still waiting for amber trichomes. I've harvested a couple of bits last week & they are drying now. Thats why she looks a bit lop-sided.

The week started fine, "Lea" (that's how I decided to call her) is growing fast. I started Lst on day 31. First I wanted her to grow naturally, but now that I'm moving to the "summer house" , I have to "hide" her. D34, we moved to the house. I hope she'll be fine with the new sunlight exposure. We'll see...

Week 10 – Day 70 🌱 She’s now finishing the last swelling phase of the buds. From this point on I’m giving only plain water and letting the soil dry well between waterings. The buds are not the biggest I’ve ever grown and it probably won’t be my highest yield per plant, but what really surprised me is how uniform this plant is. The buds are very consistent in size and the whole structure is super compact. In my 1m grow box I think I could easily run 9 plants like this. The canopy would be very even and the space would be used much better. Now I’m just waiting for the final ripening and keeping an eye on the trichomes. Harvest is getting close. Terpene profile & trichomes ✨ The plant is not covered with a very thick layer of resin. In my opinion this might be one of the downsides of running a 24/0 light cycle. From my experience it seems to increase yield but slightly reduce the quality, quantity and size of the trichomes. Because of this I recently changed my light schedule to 23 hours. The central light now turns off a bit earlier while the side lights and the 660nm far-red stay on for a short time to simulate a sunset effect. I think this could be more beneficial for the other plants in the tent. With this plant I will also try to induce a bit of mechanical stress to see if it can stimulate more resin production. I’ll document the results in the next few days. The terpene profile is already very interesting. The aroma clearly reminds me of ginger, with sweet candy-like notes and a touch of lime. Very unique and quite surprising. Big thanks to the breeders at RQS for this little gem. And as always, happy growing to everyone! 🌱

Still struggling with humidity. But I have really good airflow and ventilation. Continue to defoliate plants. Stretch is over or at least almost. Due to previous lights one plant is about 3 days behind the other 2. Already smells great/loud. Girlfriend hates it. Not a smoker.

Finished lollipopping, Color is looking a bit light. Not liking how the canopy spread is looking. Definitely need to give her the majority of my attention this week. Adding a tiny amount of nitrogen and calmag. This week ill fix this canopy and get it spread more evenly. Need to make room in my tent.
