We are starting to grow a new autoflowering strain from 42Fast Buds under the number FBA2502. We don't know much about the strain yet, but we do know that its maturation period is around 70 to 80 days. For germination, we used a reliable method: paper towel and cotton sponge. In just 24 hours, the seed sprouted with a root about 1 cm long. The next step will be planting it in soil composed of: 50% black soil (chernozem), 35% coconut substrate and coconut fiber, 10% perlite, 5% expanded clay. We will continue to monitor its growth and share the results.

Got everything moved around & the new carbon filter, fans & lights so hopefully I got better coverage with less power👍🏼 Topped 1 of the Gelato OGs today was getting way taller than the rest we will see how she bounces back! Everything else seems to be going great! Day 22 topped & trimmed them up a bit Day 23 started LST on a few Day 24 started mainline on one of the GZ Day 25 trimmed them a little more today

Structured Defoliation & Light Redistribution GMO Cookies — Week 7 From Seed (12/12 From Seed) ( Week 2 Flower, kind a because this run is 12/12 from seed, developmental phases overlap. While we are in Week 7 from seed, flower morphology places these plants approximately in Week 2–3 of true flower formation.) ⸻ 🔁 Quick Recap — How We Got Here This run was flipped 12/12 from seed. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Only: • Strategic leaf bending • Gentle positioning • Natural apical development • Controlled mineral feeding through the AutoPot system • Occasional top-feed inputs when needed We let the plants express themselves first. That decision matters. Because what you’re seeing now — the uniform tops, the consistent structure, the even canopy rhythm — is the result of restraint early on. No panic training. No overcorrection. Just guidance. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding — Why We Changed Nothing This week, deliberately, we changed nothing. • Day temp: ~28 °C • RH: ~65% • EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Height: ~40–80 cm • LED lighting (multi-layer + under-canopy support) Some growers see 28 °C in flower and panic. But context matters. Under LED lighting: • Leaf surface temp runs ~2–4 °C cooler than ambient • There is no heavy infrared load like under HPS • Transpiration behaves differently So if: • Room = 28 °C • Leaf ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% Leaf-level VPD sits in a comfortable early-flower range. We do not calculate room VPD in isolation. We observe plant behavior. And the plants confirm stability: • Upright posture • No tacoing • No clawing • Strong internode spacing • Healthy green without tip burn We are not chasing numbers. We are paying attention to them. That’s different. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Strategy — Why EC 2.4 Is Intentional These GMO Cookies are evolving fast. At Week 2 flower, they are: • Stretching • Building structural mass • Initiating bud sites • Increasing water consumption EC 2.4 is not a random number. It matches: • Growth speed • AutoPot constant availability • Mineral shuttle stability • Transpiration rate under LED Because AutoPots provide continuous feed, the goal isn’t spikes — it’s consistency. No dramatic increases. No sudden drops. Just stable availability. That’s why we did not change anything this week. When plants are stable, changing variables creates instability. ⸻ Defoliation — Controlled Intervention, Not Reaction This update follows the exact chronological order of the session. Before defoliation, we observed: • Mid-canopy density • Lower airflow restriction • Interior shading • Competing secondary growth The intervention focused on: • Removing obstructive fan leaves • Cleaning lower interior branches (lollipopping) • Improving air channels • Increasing light penetration • Prioritizing top flower sites No stripping. No shock. Just structure correction. ⸻ 🔥 Under-Canopy Light Marks — Addressed Transparently Minor leaf surface damage was observed on some lower leaves. Important distinction: This is not nutrient burn. This is not systemic stress. These were: • Localized photon exposure spots • Leaves positioned too close to under-canopy diodes • Surface-level tissue damage Cosmetic. Monitored. Adjusted. Under-canopy lighting increases lower bud potential — but placement must be respected. This is part of dialing in layered LED systems. We document it openly. Because transparency builds trust. ⸻ 🌱 Why the Plants Look So Uniform Three plants. Very similar rhythm. Why? • Stable feeding • Stable environment • No high-stress events • Even canopy exposure • Gentle early leaf positioning instead of hard training Consistency early → uniformity later. This is not luck. It’s controlled inputs. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week You will likely see: • Stretch slowing down • Clear bud stacking beginning • Pistil density increasing • Water consumption rising • Slight increase in aroma intensity You should NOT expect: • Massive swelling yet • Heavy frost development • Final bud density We are still in structural flower. GMO builds weight slightly later. Patience is part of the architecture. ⸻ 🧠 The Philosophy Behind This Week When everything is stable: Do not interfere. Many growers change parameters weekly just to feel active. But cultivation is not about constant movement. It’s about: Observation → Understanding → Adjustment only when required. This week required observation. Not correction. ⸻ 🙏 Gratitude To the GrowDiaries platform — thank you for the space to document honestly.

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.

This plant has been a pure pleasure to grow. I took a few bud off this week as I was worried about bud bandits taking her. They are out in force in my neck of the woods. She has really put on some interesting colouring. She smells so damn GOOD!! Dinafem nails dit with these genetics!! Full chop is imminent!! 😎🍿

Hi, As pictures show, doing good. I feel the difference in drinking water increasing during this past week. Still very dry conditions at the moment because of the outside wheater. Also temps start to rise until 27.8 when the 2 tents are operatif at the same time, as the little tent outgoing airstream goes to the big tent. About the girls, blue lst has a nice main cola, 2 fists high ( depending on the size of your hands ofcourse 😅😅)21cm. She also holds a few lower, but still nice budformations coming in place. Her sister, whos been lined, shows less of that enermous growth sprint. Still, very pleased with the outcome of my first mainline project so far(50cm). She recoverd from the dry stress of last week, showing of new white pistels in the air. Third lady in the room is sweet moby, she follows because of the later change to 12/12, with a good pace . I havent managed the space and height of this lady as well as the bluedream. None the less, dispite losing 1 arm in the beginning( because of being to brutal), she became a very nice plant of 62cm. See yall next week 🍀🍀🍀

I had to kill one of my photoperiod plants because it was hermie so I decided to move the FBTO1 and FBTO13 into the room with them since I had space in there. So now they are on 12 hour light and they seem to be much happier with the environment. This will be my first time flowering autos on 12 hours so curious to see how they do. Nutrients per gallon .5 tsp maxigro .25 tsp armor si .25 tsp calimagic .1 tsp 90/10 humic/fulvic acid
