🌿 Cosmic Noodles — Week 6 Flower (Week 10 from Seed) ✦ Context & Run Setup 12/12 from seed. Autoflower expression under controlled flowering conditions — a hybrid rhythm between speed and structure. What we’re seeing now is the result of early structure + stable environment + precise feeding. And also… one lesson plant that deserves respect. ⸻ ⚠️ The Overwater Plant — A Necessary Decision This week, we made a call. Not emotional — responsible. One plant, previously pushed through intentional overwatering conditions, did not recover. Root zone remained compromised, oxygen exchange was limited, and overall plant vitality continued declining. What we observed: • Persistent droop and lack of turgor recovery • Slowed or stalled bud development • Increased risk profile (humidity pockets, potential for rot/microbial issues) At this stage in flower, the plant wasn’t just underperforming — she was becoming a liability to the room. So the decision was made: ✂️ Harvest early, remove risk, protect the ecosystem. Yield was minimal — but that was never the point. This plant served as a living case study. 💡 Key takeaway for the community: Overwatering is not about “too much water” — it’s about lack of oxygen in the root zone. Once that balance is lost for too long, recovery becomes unlikely. Respect to her. She taught more than she produced. ⸻ 🌱 The Rest of the Garden — Absolute Explosion Now… the contrast. The remaining plants are doing the exact opposite. They are: • Vigorous • Structurally stacked • Visibly happy ✦ What we’re seeing: • Bud sites fully formed and stacking aggressively • Dense, symmetrical structure across the canopy • Leaves holding a deep, healthy green • Strong transpiration and daily drinking rhythm These girls are not just growing — they are driving energy exactly where it needs to go. ⸻ 💧 Water, Feeding & Plant Demand Current intake: • 1.6 – 1.8L per plant / 24h This tells us everything: • Root systems are active • Transpiration is strong • Environment is dialed ✦ Parameters: • Temperature: 26°C • RH: 60% • EC: 2.0 • pH: 6.5 • CO₂: ~1000 ppm This combination is creating: → Efficient nutrient uptake → Strong metabolic activity → Continuous flower development They are eating, drinking, and converting. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development — Where It Gets Beautiful At ~Week 6 flower: • Calyx stacking is now visibly dominant • Buds are transitioning from formation → mass accumulation • Structure is tightening, weight is coming in And the key detail: 👉 The plants are still pushing fresh growth, not fading early → This means the engine is still running strong You’ve built a system where: • Energy is available • Environment supports it • Genetics are expressing fully That’s why they look like this. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Size & Structure • Average height: ~1.2 meters • Even canopy with strong tops • Light penetration still effective This is the sweet spot: 👉 Big enough to produce 👉 Controlled enough to manage ⸻ 🔍 Why They’re Thriving (While One Didn’t) This is the real lesson of this week. The difference wasn’t genetics. It was the root environment. Healthy plants: • Oxygenated root zone • Stable wet/dry cycle • Consistent nutrient availability Overwatered plant: • Oxygen deprivation • Root stress → reduced uptake • Cascade effect into weak growth Everything above the soil is just a reflection of what happens below it. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Coming into the next phase: ✦ Expect: • Continued bud swelling • Increased density and weight • Possible early signs of fade (depending on feeding strategy) • Higher demand for stability (environment becomes critical now) ✦ Watch for: • Humidity control (as buds thicken) • Airflow through the canopy • Any signs of internal moisture pockets We are entering the “everything counts” phase. ⸻ 🤝 Closing Words To everyone watching this journey: • Day one supporters • Silent observers • Question askers • Even the doubters This is for all of you. To the community, to GD, to the sponsors, to the genetics — thank you for being part of this process. Because this isn’t just a grow. It’s: → Learning → Sharing → Improving together ⸻ And to the garden… One plant taught us a lesson. The others are showing us what happens when everything aligns. This is balance. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@TheDogDoctorOfficial NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

What do you think about her potential is with her everything ok I will add that it is not the first but purely theorist you can find out what is happening.

Day 56 Flower — final update before chop. This’ll be the last live update for this run — I’m planning to cut next week and will drop a proper harvest post once everything’s dry and weighed. Gotta say I’m stoked: buds are looking sick, smells are off the charts and after 8 years I can’t wait to finally burn my own harvest. Quick real-talk: biggest headache this run was the night humidity (box was sitting in a wet cold garage — nights were brutal). I ordered the Spider Farmer heater ages ago expecting it to sort that, but shipping got messed up and it never showed on time. If I didn’t already have their inline fan and controller I probably would’ve cancelled and gone another route. Still — despite the rough nights the plants pulled through and the colors/terps turned out gorgeous. Lights/Setup note (what I saw): LED for veg worked great — compact, short internodes, dense canopy. HPS gave the flower its extra stretch and way denser colas — difference was obvious in top size and nug density. Next round I’ll run veg under LED and flip flower to HPS for that chunky, heavy bud structure. General impressions & vibes: Resin city. Most tops are sticky and frosty as hell — touch a cola and your fingers get that gooey, sweet grime immediately. Colours are stunning: purples, bronzes and deep greens — especially on the kush phenos. Cold nights helped bring that out even though they stressed the tent a bit. Canopy filled nicely — lots of even colas across the screen. Smell is absolutely lovely: sweet, cake-y, kushy funk depending on the corner. Strain-by-strain notes (photos + what I noticed) Wedding Cake Portland — sweetest, creamiest nose. Tops are tight and resinous with nice amber pistils coming through. Made some of the chunkiest, most fragrant flowers in the tent. Beautiful frost. Kush Crasher — most frosty of the bunch. Leaves and buds look like they were powdered with sugar. Strong kush terp profile, darker leaves. Real eye-catcher. AK-47 — classic structure, reliable resin and nice citrus/earthy notes. Good mid-bud density, chunky and fragrant. Very consistent. Double Krush — leaner colas but loaded with crystals. Has that layered aroma profile — kush backbone with sweet overtones. Looks like it’ll smoke quite smooth. Wappa — star of the show for me. Fat main colas, gorgeous purple bronzing and a sticky, punchy aroma. Dense, hard buds that scream quality. If there’s a top-shelf winner in this round, it’s Wappa — chunky, potent and beautiful. Big shout: Wappa brought the goods. Detroit Runtz — sweet and fruity, bag appeal for days. Colas are a touch lighter but super sparkly and smelly, classic runtz vibes. Run summary / final thoughts I made mistakes (low nights + humidity were a pain), but overall the plants handled it — produced crazy-looking, fragrant, sticky flowers. I flushed with plain water the last week and let the plants finish their thing. Next run I’ll tweak light strategy (veg LED, flower HPS) and sort the heat/humidity earlier so I’m not battling the box at critical weeks. Big ups to the girls — they pulled through and rewarded me with proper frosty buds. Also big frowny face to Spider Farmer for the late heater delivery — if you’re reading this, sort the logistics — shipping delays hurt growers (I’d been waiting since mid-November). If you want to make it right, you know where to DM. Closing lines for Wappa: Wappa was my pride this run — chunky as hell, super sticky, colors that pop and a terp punch that’ll make heads turn. Proper show-stealer. Can’t wait to chop and see what she smokes like. Harvest next week — will post dry weights and final pics. Stay tuned. ✌️🍃🔥

She is doing her thing ... smell is very sweet , supper strong at, day, dusk, night, and morning ... always !!! I have had Neighbors say" I can smell it" . ( ironlungs).. And I can smell it myself .. she is looking great... pics are not downloading , I got a few to load .. Watered with tap water ( garden hose ) ... I will water in the morning again .. it's going to be hot at the end of the week .... I was hoping for a low to come (low pressure = cooler temps ) ..I need some cooler temps.. but I have no control ..buds are starting to fatten up...and getting heavy ... I inserted wood dowels to hold some colas from leaning on the sides of the cage ...I will get more ... all things considered she is very happy .... but she is on a mission.. to look beautiful .... This grow happened by accident.. It was not planned.. It has surpassed any of my expectation's .. I have to say " this plant is a beauty " She is just a little clone .. born 3/15/2017 Video music from Mendo Dope 👏👏👏

Lunes 19 de Agosto 2024 Se le aplico la semana pasada aparte de bases ph perfect un poco de Armor Si y CaliMagic pará reforzar su estructura.

The LST i did in the past few weeks is starting to pay off. The plants are spreading nice and even, not bad for a first timer but it can be better. In this week, i’ll try to water more to boost their growth because in the past few weeks i only water them once a week for the reason that I always wait until the top soil goes dry and it took almost a week for that to happen. I read in an article that you should carry your pot after a day of watering the plants to able to know that is the weight of the pot when it has water, so you can determine if the pot is light that means you can water them even the top soil is still wet. I’ll try this method lets see if i’ll end up overfeeding my plants or not. In this week will be doing same routine like last week, always monitor humidity and temperature. Spread the fan leaves so the leaves underneath can receive enough light.

100% Krönungsrate wie immer bei Fastbuds bisher, wir sind wieder sehr gespannt auf die terps

Ph pen failure 😞

Defoliate following moon phase in the biodinamic calendar. Just lower leaf and small flower. Dont know if cut more small lower buds I feel sad cutting that. Did very very small lower defoliate from week 4 to 8 once a week.

The buds shine like a shooting star mad sticky too⭐️ First thing that hits me with the smell straight up like canned pineapples in syrup🤤🍍

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Flushed last week and I'll flush this week too. I like to flush, I get better taste because of it. I'm pleased with this strain. The buds are hard and have a good smell and the plant are holding up their branches covered in buds. I see a couple of branches heading for the floor though. That's my way of gauging how heavy my buds are. When I water later, I'll tie them up. This is the last week for these lovely girls. Smells like metallic skunk with some sweet orange undertones in the basement. But when I touch the buds and smell my fingers, I get more of a sweet musky orange skunky smell. Smells delicious. Not just a straight cat pee smell, but something I might want to smoke, with some flavor to it. I'll post some pictures before I harvest next week. Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

All coming along well, nice even canopy to say there is no net in there, buds are looking nice and fat now, smell really good, like candy, very sticky. All photos taken day 53 of flower ✌️
