As we venture into week one of the flowering stage, the living soil within our garden beds has already been enriched with carefully selected amendments, laying a robust foundation for our plants to thrive. Living soil is not a static entity; it's a dynamic, breathing ecosystem that needs as much care and attention as the plants it supports. At this crucial juncture, our primary responsibility is to maintain the delicate balance of this ecosystem. Watering practices continue to play a pivotal role—moisture levels are kept at an optimal level, allowing the soil to dry between watering sessions, thereby preventing saturation and promoting oxygen uptake to the roots. Such measures are not merely about quenching the plants' thirst but also about preserving the intricate web of life that exists within every handful of soil. This web of life has indeed become more intricate with a massive explosion of predator mites that have become an integral part of our soil's community. These tiny but formidable allies are voracious predators of various pests that can threaten our plants. Their increased activity is not just a sign of a healthy ecosystem but also a natural form of pest management that reduces the need for chemical interventions. These mites, along with a host of other microorganisms, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and disease suppression, further enhancing the resilience of the plants during their flowering phase. The very life of the soil is now visibly bustling, indicating a thriving micro-ecosystem that contributes to the health of our plants. Above and beyond these microscopic interactions, the larger creatures in our ecosystem—the worms—have begun their vital work. The 'chop and drop' cover crops and clover that were introduced earlier have now become fodder for these earthworkers. As they consume this organic matter, they are not just feeding themselves but are also processing it into rich castings, a natural fertilizer full of available nutrients for the plants. This activity does not just nourish; it aerates the soil, creating spaces for roots to expand and for air to circulate. The sight of such activity is evidence of a living soil that is not just a growing medium but a thriving ecosystem in its own right. The soil, with all its biodiversity, is an orchestra where every organism, from the tiniest mite to the diligent earthworm, plays a critical part in the symphony of growth that supports our flowering plants. As each day passes, this ecosystem draws closer to perfect harmony, bolstering the plants in their quest to bloom with vitality.

5/5 MONDAY Took out the AC Infinity lights and just went with the 2 cheap blue and red lights. Samsung 301B.. H?....great lights but so powerful and no blue red combo. I noticed the plant grow towards the red spectrum LED than the whiter ones on the AC system. There are 2 on each bar. I use the AC lights as auxiliary when I get need it for taller plants with lots of vegetation. 2pm looking great. '"Sir, I have seen nae deerskin treaty, nor have I seen fairies or water sprites. But what I do have are Malay coins, enough to bury you. Prayer beads, not enough to get you to heaven. And hashish, enough to ease my grieving when the East India Company slit your throat, which, of course, they will." ― Brace in a conversation with James. 5/5 11pm Monday night, MORNING for me.....WHAT IS THIS????? CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! CONKEY IS ALIVE!!!!!! HOLDY SHILT I CANT BELIVE IT, NOW WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO???? I GOT OUTSMARTED BY A SEED!!!!!! A-FUCKING-GAIN!!!! HOW CAN I NOT BE SMARTER THAN A SEED....??????🚨 5/6 1230am..... ALL OF THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE FAULT....... Now I have a freakshow Siamese twin plant, PERFECT. When Im not flying off in a rage about things I break....it's a fucking comet of disaster.... I typed comedy you stupid ficler.... Maybe I keep them in the same pot and call them Cory & Trevor!!! 2am They are getting a little humid so I have to open the top for a while. The cheaper lights work better. and are less than 15w 5/7👍🚨Looks like Cory & Trevor are fighting 😂😂 5/8 looks good. 8am getting great photos on small iPhone by pulling back a little bit so it doesn’t focus too far behind. 5/10 2am. I was able to empty my disgusting body of toxic shit...these plants are rebuilding by digestive tract and systems. A multi-year painful endeavor I have achieved through weed. so fuck you if you dont like it. I will defend my rights with overwhelming force. if you try and take it. you know exactly what I mean and yes this means you badgey mc fafo. 5/11 12 pm

Welcome to week 2 of my Bubblegum XL diary, genetics by Royal Queen seeds. Looks beautifull, no starting problems. Grows fast since day 1. Small full spectrum burple cob light is doing its job very good, and as you can see the plant is growing as we like it to. GHE changed its name to Terra Aquatica, so its terra aquatica nutrients -- update day 3 wk2 Repotted into 15l rqs smartpot -- update day 4 wk2 Topped/fimmed plant, lets see how it comes out in the future Added small after-transplant video

Day 64 my baby is going really well by now, she s been running fast until now and I think that’s enough with fertiliser. From today o start my flush, I will give today my last dose of regulator and from next irrigation just on controlled water until the end of maturation, I want this baby to eat everything . day 65 started flushing. ph controlled water at 6.0 i think 20 more days at max before m Day 68 First check with micro today. The baby looks already milky and amber on the top buds but the rest of the plant is still transparent. I’ll wait at least until this weekend for a re check maybe I’ll cut her in two rounds. As I be been watching a lot with micro I noticed so many dust and other stuff on the buds so I think I’ll wash her in water. Today watered ph 6. Let’s see! 🌱🔥🌱🔥🌱🔥🔥

Folder 13 — Blue Waffle — Pheno A Week 2 Vegetation — A New Home Beneath the Surface Welcome back, growers! This week marks one of the biggest milestones since germination. After spending the first week establishing a healthy foundation inside the starter container, Blue Waffle Pheno A has officially moved into her permanent home—a Plagron 8L Premium Coco Grow Bag, where the next stage of her journey truly begins. Transplant day is always exciting. While the leaves tell us how a plant is feeling above the surface, it’s the roots that reveal the real story. And this week, that story was a very encouraging one. ⸻ The Environment The Zamnesia ecosystem continues providing a stable and comfortable environment for these young ladies. Current room conditions: • Temperature: 29°C • Relative Humidity: 68% Airflow remains unchanged from last week: • Extraction Fan: Level 5 • Circulation Fan: Level 4 Lighting also remains steady, with the LED running at 27% intensity, drawing approximately 86 watts from the wall. At this stage, consistency is far more valuable than chasing rapid growth. Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to focus their energy where it matters most—building roots. ⸻ Feeding Program Now that the plants have entered their coco home, the hydroponic feeding strategy officially begins. The nutrient solution remains intentionally simple: • Plagron Hydro A • Plagron Hydro B • Plagron Hydro Roots Reservoir parameters: • EC: 1.26 mS/cm • pH: 5.83 • Solution Temperature: 23.1°C Hydro Roots continues playing an important role during this stage, encouraging the rapid development of fresh roots as the plants begin colonizing their new substrate. The objective isn’t explosive top growth just yet. Everything starts beneath the surface. ⸻ Transplant Day Last week the Plagron Premium Coco Grow Bags were slowly hydrated using distilled water, allowing the coco to expand evenly while creating a perfectly moist environment before receiving the plants. Rather than forcing the transplant into a dry substrate or flooding the bags at the last moment, the coco had an entire week to stabilize. When transplant day arrived, the process couldn’t have gone smoother. Using the original nursery pot as a guide, I carefully created a perfectly sized cavity inside each coco bag. This simple step allows the entire root ball to slide into place naturally without compressing or disturbing the surrounding coco. Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference. A gentle transplant means less stress. Less stress means faster recovery. ⸻ A Look Beneath the Surface Before placing Blue Waffle Pheno A into her new home, I couldn’t resist taking a closer look at her root system. And I’m glad I did. While the roots haven’t completely filled the container yet, they are beautifully distributed around the entire root ball. Bright white feeder roots are visible across every side, with countless fine root hairs actively exploring the growing medium. This is exactly what I was hoping to see. There was no need for a heavily root-bound plant before transplanting. In fact, moving them at this stage allows the roots to continue expanding naturally instead of beginning to circle around the nursery pot. Healthy roots don’t need to be massive. They simply need to be active. Blue Waffle Pheno A is giving every indication that she’s ready to explode into her new environment. ⸻ Blue Waffle Pheno A Above the substrate, Pheno A continues to impress. The compact structure remains intact, with tight internodal spacing and excellent symmetry across the canopy. The leaves display a healthy green colour, while the petioles have started developing subtle purple pigmentation—a characteristic that can often appear naturally in younger plants depending on genetics and environmental conditions. Most importantly, the plant showed virtually no signs of transplant shock. Only a short time after moving into the coco bag, the leaves remained upright and turgid, while fresh new growth continued emerging from the center. That’s always one of the best signs a grower can hope for after transplanting. It means the plant is already getting comfortable in her new home. ⸻ Looking Ahead With the transplant now behind us, the next objective is allowing the roots to colonize the entire Plagron Premium Coco Grow Bag. As the root system expands, so too will the canopy. The coming weeks should bring noticeably faster vegetative growth as Blue Waffle Pheno A begins taking full advantage of the increased root volume and hydroponic feeding schedule. For now… Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy future. Exactly what every grower hopes to see. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along on this journey. Special thanks to: • Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and complete ecosystem that make this project possible. • Plagron for supplying the Premium Coco Grow Bags and the Hydro nutrient line that now powers this grow. • GrowDiaries for providing an amazing platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another. • And finally, thank you to every member of this incredible growing community. Whether you’re just starting your first grow or you’ve been cultivating for decades, your support, advice, and passion make this hobby something truly special. The roots have found their new home. Now it’s time to watch Blue Waffle Pheno A reach for the sky. Growers Love and Keep Growing. 🌱💙🍁

They are swelling up pretty nicely and hairs are starting too turn colors finally. I switched #1-6 from Big Bud too Overdrive on day 64 and I moved a few of them around to get them more comfortable. Looking to harvest sooner rather then later because humidity is 50-70%... I normally have good judgment and harvest right when they are ready and avoid mold/rot. I plan too start flushing on about day 70ish. I shouldn't need too flush them for very long because only half there pot is soil. I will get pre harvest pictures for sure maybe even videos.

Day 82. Its 81 day from seed touched soil ! If leaves would be healthier, i would run them at least one more week, but it is, what it is. They spent 24 hours in darkness and now its Trim Jail !!! ;))) Harvest Day ! Day 88. Tried bud from each, clearest weed straight from drying rack ! Only 3 feeds makes huge difference to harshness at the beggining. Still Queen is pure Tangie, can it be seed mistake ? ;))) Day 89. Boy i am f@ckingly surprised !!! Heather - I love You, Your team, Your strains !!!! I still don't get how, but numbers are amazing, Thank You very much !!!! Will update this diary as cure goes, but i feel so many nice words were unspoken, felt that FB will change my view about Autos - and they DID !!! Amazing house ! Happy Growing !

Start of week 15. A little defoliation and LST training on a few branches. The grow medium has not dried out enough since last week's repotting, so no feeding at this time. Update 6/15, moved to flowering room and 12/12 light.

The Do-Si-Dos Auto has some huge heavy buds and it definitely could've benefited from more LST but I'm I didn't have the room

The extended hours of light is crucial this time of the year or else she would be flowering already. Her is slow but sure.

The canopy forms an edge-to-edge sea of green with decent uniformity. Up close, the bud development looks highly promising, displaying dense, healthy stacks of white pistils heavily frosted with a thick blanket of trichomes that point to the strong resin potential of the Electric Blueberry x Secret Stomper genetics. There are no glaring signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress—the overall leaf color remains a healthy, deep green, which confirms the daily feeding and runoff routine is keeping the root zone exceptionally stable. The plan this weekend is more defoliation to thin the dense canopy and increase light penetration for the lower bud sites.

The plant went crazy with growth this week, easily doubling in size (probably more). My tent is only a small one at 80*80*160 and this thing is now fully populated by plant. Can't beleive I managed to get 4 in here with my last grow, I guess they will grow as big as the space they are provided with when they are healthy and happy and this plant is definitely both. Things continued to warm up again this week, a few sunny days of 26c outside which meant my tent once again crept into the 30's for 2 or 3 hours of the 18 hour lights on cycle. On top of this, just to add salt into the wounds there were cold nights as well where the tent heaters were going full whack keeping things warm. To tackle the heat I ended up using a CO2 bag. CO2 was recommended to me by the Hydro shop and could help with the plant dealing with the high heats at times, guess I'll see. The plant also received the gift of automated watering, with the higher temperatures but also as I'll be away for a week for work next week I had to get something setup in advance. No idea why I didn't install an automated watering system with previous grows, was so cheap and makes things so much easier. Best of all the plant is loving more frequent drinks/feeds. Currently set to 4 a day at around 500ml each feed. When I started this gro my plan was to go nutrient free, and just use what the living soil offered. That only lasted through veg anyhow, now that it's flowering, I can see how much the plant is loving the Mills nutrients. Based on the growth in the last week I'd say the plants loving them a hell of a lot!!!! I think all the hard work shaping the plant is done now as the stretch is nearly over. Had no other option but to install a net during the week just to keep it down as much as I could. Only took a few days to fill it out and there's way too many bud sights now. If the plant had of stretched much more it would have to move into a larger house, but now the buds are starting to fatten I'd say it will be safe now. Couldn't be happier with this grow anyhow. Now just have to wait and see these buds fatten up.
