🌱 Week 7 From Seed | 12/12 From Germination Transition Phase — Early Flower (Week 1) 📌 Quick Context (For New Readers) These plants have been grown 12/12 from seed from day one. Because of this light schedule, development timelines do not match traditional veg/flower calendars. Although we are technically at Week 7 from seed, the plants are now entering what we consider Early Flower (Week 1). Pre-flower signs are present but still subtle, which is completely normal for this method, especially with training involved. Think of this as: Week 7 from seed ≈ Week 5 in overall physiological development ⸻ 🌿 Overall Plant Status All plants are healthy, vigorous, and responding extremely well to training. • Strong lateral growth • Very bushy structure • Tight internodes • No major deficiencies or stress responses The genetics are clearly expressing well under this method and environment. ⸻ 🧠 Training Update & Learning Moment This week involved low-stress training using plastic clamps and this was my first time. • Most plants responded beautifully • However, one branch was left clamped slightly too long, resulting in a partial break Recovery Action • White tape was applied immediately • The branch is stable • Early pre-flower signs are still visible on that plant 👉 Based on experience and current visuals, full recovery is expected. For comparison: • Another plant is trained using metal clamps, shown in the last photo • This plant is more delayed and not yet showing flower signs This contrast clearly shows how training intensity and timing can influence flowering onset under 12/12 from seed. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions Despite very cold temperatures outside, the room has been stabilized well: • Temperature: 27.5°C • Relative Humidity: 65.4% • CO₂: ~909 ppm Humidity is slightly higher than ideal for flower, but plants are thriving and showing no negative responses. ⸻ 💧 Root Zone & Nutrition Adjustments were made this week to prepare the plants for flowering demand. • EC: Increased to 2.4 • Water Temperature: ~21°C (70°F) • pH: Raised to 6.5 🔬 Why the pH Change? This was a deliberate, science-based decision, not guesswork. As plants transition into flower, a slightly higher pH: • Improves availability of Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphorus • Supports early flower initiation • Helps the plant shift metabolic focus From here: • pH will be cycled between 6.0 → 6.5 • Always kept above 6.0 • Adjusted based on plant feedback Until now, pH ranged around 5.8–6.0, which favored vegetative uptake. This marks the nutritional transition into flower physiology. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Update • PPFD Range: ~600–800 µmol/m²/s • Taller plants receive closer to 800–850 • Smaller plants around 600–700 • Top Lights: 100% • Under-Canopy Lighting: ~40–45% and increasing gradually The goal is to let plants adapt to photons coming from all directions, promoting: • Stronger lower growth • Better canopy balance • Reduced larf later in flower ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Next 1–2 weeks: • Clear flower initiation on most plants • Stretch phase beginning • Increased nutrient demand • Continued canopy management (tucking & bending only) What NOT to expect yet: • No heavy defoliation • No aggressive stress training • No rushing the transition The harder training plant will be given more time — no forcing. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words Thanks to everyone following along — newcomers, supporters, critics, and sponsors alike. This run is about learning, transparency, and showing what 12/12 from seed really looks like when done patiently and intentionally. More updates soon 🌱 As always — observations welcome.

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.

Stretched vigorously once she started to transition to flower. Developed potency early in flower! She was LST'd weekly, starting week 2. She was also gently lolipopped a few times, to maintain growth towards 5-6 nodes only.

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

less light and less water

Starting to reduce nutes in preperation for full flush next week, reduced to 450 ppm, 3/4 of my trichomes are where I want them to be so I reckon the half strength nutes with a full week of straight water will do the buds nicely. Huge amount of sugar on the leaves which will make some mean bubble hash!!.. More pics will be uploaded later. Buds are 9/10 density and the Aromas are frightening, strong AF 💪 . . Check the video, says it all lol... This 'Auto' has been a complete roller coaster, never thought the thing was ever going to stop growing! That being said, check her out... Buds are swollen lovely and coated in trichomes, can see purps on some of the buds. Hopefully the taste is half as good as the smell haha...

This was a pretty explosive week for growth! These girls really took off this week! I have been topping off the res with just plain RO water this week after the change and for this run I have kept the strength of the nutrients pretty low and have been hanging around 0.6 EC, I don't see much of a need to increase at all. I am going to continue to keep a lower EC and just watch the plants. I think last run I may have fed a little hot a time or two so gonna go low and slow this run and it has been working out so far. I will be putting my trellis net up either today or tomorrow because I think I am really going to need it this run. I noticed yesterday that it looks like these girls are showing signs of entering the flowering phase so I need to get set up and be prepared for the stretch! I'm getting a little nervous about the height of the plants as well because they are growing fairly tall pretty quick, but hopefully the net will help a bit. No issues to report really and they look healthy as can be! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow! As always any tips, comments, recommendations are always valued and appreciated! Thanks everyone you guys rock!

Transplant ..... Grow BIG ROOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!! 😋 Keep it simple ...maybe!!! VIVA LA MOTTA

Had bend her main cola over again!! She was growing into the light. She just keeps spreading out too! Wish I had a bigger tent for her. The buds are starting to fatten a bit. I defoliated her again. Trying to get some better light penetration and air flow.

Day 36: Feed this morning but kind of switched out Bud Blood for Igniter. The Buds are growing. My training skills are weak and I'm completely overwhelmed trying to even start defoliation. Kind of like an ok parent but don't care if your kids need a haircut and when you take em to the shop they cry when the barber combs to cut. Besides that though my 1st grow is pretty epic. Looking @ what I've been doing and seeing them from seed to what I have now. I don't know the formula for life but maybe this gives me The Blueprint. (D.O.C & Jay-z like). Observing and watching the light's and Temps. Trying to stay in that 85 degree 54% humidity range. Shout out to Weedexpress for checking my grow. All Seeds germinated!!! Day 37: Think I have been over-feeding my plants so fed them....lol yep just a solution of sensi-cal,Voodo, B-2, Superbud xfactor and mikes og tea......no more bud blood and gonna ride out with the igniter. Woke up an hour b4 they did and snatched each one out the tent and defoliated. Each one I spent about 20 minutes on defoliating and getting rid of bottom layer. They looked a bit lollipopish and getting ready to cast this net. I have some huge branches and some of the buds are starting to look like the picture you see in the grows. I really am appreciating the work that it takes and the thought behind growing. 9ish: starting some training and pulled the branches down, tied and put some trainers of 2 of my plants. I got plans to train my GC's since they are stretching. That canopy is pretty open so think gonna get good light inside canopy! Thinking about my next feeding 2morrow, which usually equates to when I get off work. I'm gonna stay with my veg base and go again with Bud Blood. I like the way it made my buds kind of dazzle into sun burst buds. I'm pretty dialed into my veg mixture and am going to start mixing in a 5 gallon jug only to ensure that I have enough for 2 feeds. My plants are really devouring these nutrients and have had very little nutrition burn. Trying to make sure that my root system is healthy so that I can get a decent yield to hold me over the winter. Of course with the winter comes the holiday season and what better gift to give 420 candy canes sprinkled with kief....these are a few of my favorite things!!!!! When the leaves shake When the Buds break I'm feeling crank I simply remember my favorite things And then I just smoke.... my dank!!!! Day 40: igniter definitely creates more bud blooms areas...my growth is so thick and the buds pretty big. Got a feeding lined up in the morning and probably gonna with heavy feeding and touch all my roots. Going heavy on igniter again. My grow lights beneath the canopy is doing amazing work as the buds beneath are also amazingly big. Also spay with a mix of Grease and Green Goddess maybe twice a day to keep nutrition in the foliage. Day 41 or 42 and possibly even 43: Somewhere but I'm in my 2nd week of flower and working this week on Igniting my grow b4 going into OverDrive. Gave an honest feeding a day later than normal. The Buds are popping and you can kind of see what the Bud Ignite is doing as far as the multiple bloom locations are a plenty. Went with the net but took back down, want more height and not disturb the current situation but have a feeling will need it a bit later to help with these heavy bud limbs! Day 47: So my babies have bigs buds and an issue. Defoliation day was ah coming and did I have to cut. Spent like 20 minutes on each plant cutting, 🍭 'n and manicuring. They are incredibly stout and stretching. Got a few more feeds b4 I flush so gonna stick with the Overdrive and Ignite. Day 48: fed da girls and went with Bud Blood instead of Ignite. Day 49: so I'm checking out my grow and for some reason I grabbed some water only....just felt like I've been so caught up in the nutrients forgetting basics. So since in the last 3 weeks gonna concentrate on budding and k Defoliation. My buds are definitely gonna be huge and ripe. So getting closer to curing and got a bunch of huge mason jars @ TJ Max. For curing along with Bovida 65% packs. As for a drying tent gonna go with hanging in paper bags. Getting into curing mode so that when these are ready I can get my FF's potted and 🎄 grow on. I want to clone a few if these FF's 4sure for Christmas gifts and have plenty of holiday cheer to share.

Now that the plants are in full bloom the scent is getting stronger by the day. I'm already picking up strong fruity aromas, filling the room each time I open the G-Tools. It's nice to see how the different pheno's develop. Trichome Queen is definitely a hash plant. The resin is growing everywhere, also on the bigger fanleafs. She will be an excellent candidate for a nice rosin extract. The other two just focus on growing buds and looking awesome at the moment. I'm easing up on the nutrient this week as I detected some brown spots on the top leafs. Might be nutrient related but it could also be due to the distance of the lamp. It's raised to the top of the growbox but still too close to the canopy in my opinion. Maybe I should have done some more LST, or maybe I need to get less greedy and not try to cram three plants in a small growbox 😅. Let's see what happens in the coming week. Stay tuned for more pics and updates as the week progresses!

02/28/2021 What a difference in a week! Potted up GSC To 1 gallon pot, Blue Dream next, pics coming soon. (Later tonight) Blue Dream potted up and watering done. Both have nice side shoots for clones. GSC is at 10" tall, Bluedreamatic Dream is at7.5" Also took 5 cuttings of Wreak Havoc hope to have 2 of each clone (GSC,BLUE DREAM,WREAK HAVOC) for outside, I believe I got the lemony kush pheno which is perfect for my climate!

Day 57-63 My fungus problem again! Or is it? Please let me know if u guys know those signs of problems on ur leaves and if u could figure out what it is. Thats why i am all about neemoil! Whenever i use it, this sort of stuff never happens tbh. Neemoil for the win baby. This time i didnt use it :(

I was onnvaccation for a week and when I got back she looked like this. Wonderful...

My husband and I defoliated again the other day, we did this to expose every bud to direct light and to remove any light damaged leaf so we can track how the new growth looks.. but despite this hiccup her buds are fattening up super fast, she looks a little beyond the 5th week of flower imo but iv'e noticed this is usually the case whenever we flower super old plants (anyone else notice this?) .. There's really not too much else to report, it's been an effortless week.. I'm so excited to see the final outcome of this plant, we may actually put in the effort of weighing buds this time lmoa..

เธอค่อนข้างเติบโตช้า แต่ไม่เป็นไรหรอกฉันรอเธอได้เสมอละ ฮ่าฮ่า

3/3 COP is looking great. I should’ve grown her separately because 3/4 plants in the grow tent are indica dominant. I feel that she is the only one that is showing sativa dominant phenotype and is continuing to grow although budding has started. It worries me because I only have a few more inches of space to lift my lights before I may have to super crop her. She’s drinking about 2.5-3 gallons of water every 4-5 days. I also installed another scrog net.

Tag 106: Die Critical Neville Haze Automatic von Delicious Seeds wurde heute von mir geerntet. Sie hat mehrere schwere Hauptcoli bekommen und manche Seitentriebe wurden so groß wie manche ganze Pflanze von mir. Jetzt muss Sie trocknen. Tag 114: Wow, satte 61 g Trockengewicht sind es geworden. Sie schmeckt beim Verdampfen fruchtig süß und hat jetzt schon Wumms. Und es schmeckt tatsächlich etwas "Metallisch".

Oh my goodness! I had a 12 hour harvest session and I am so burnt out x.x I might have a few weeks before I germinate again haha I had so dang much to harvest it was getting concerning. I had to use the trellis net in the tent. I have It nicely controlled using the exhaust fan and the humidifier to keep it between 0.7-0.9 kPa I also have two Ac units running to fight the summer heat and keep it as cold as possible! Those were the fattest and most prime buds. The B-grade heads were thrown in a paper bag amd into the fridge for an old school lotus inspired dry. And finally everything lower down that wasn't an apex bud and also the apex buds that were small were put into 8 Ziplock bags and thrown in the freezer. Fresh frozen bubble hash is in my future! I still need to aquire a rainbarrel spigot and two food grade buckets but I've got most everything else. The B grade buds will be either given away or made into more bubble hash because i am estimating about a pound of top-shelf flower and a pound for everything else. I've always disliked the hanging net drying racks but maybe I'll look into for the B-grade heads next time. This has been the longest cycle I have ever done and geez it's probably the biggest. I really hope it's the most enjoyable smoke! I'm locked in on the drying/curing process hoping to finally get something that can beat the dispenserary stuff. I am so excited! My next cycle plan is to do a rotating perpetual harvest every 3 weeks in the four 40 gallon containers using the last of my Strawberry gorilla and Gorilla Cookies from FastBuds. These plants and genetics far surpassed my expectations so far, I'll be back to update soon and I'll get a weight from each of the Top and Mid buds as well as the bubble hash yield. The bubble hash will be using Bubblebagdude 5 gallon zippered mesh bag, their 5 pack of 20-220 micron and some hand style agitation. It will be my first try! Thanks for reading, and please take care of yourself! No one can take care of you, like you can take care of yourself.
