This fantastic plant is growing very well, it has stretched a lot in a few days, tomorrow I want to perform LST otherwise I risk that it touches under the led😂😂. I did the topping because the plant has stretched a lot, I performed a small LST in order to make the branches grow more and let the light reach the bottom, the plant responds very well to the solicitations and immediately absorbs all the nutrients.

so here we are right at the end, smelling of beautiful tropical sweet candy like jolly ranchers, and she is fading beautifully as i lowered the temperature and started to feed with only water! so in a few days ill chop this girl maybe weekend maybe after! whenever it suits because she is about 95% ripe! i took some test shots with my camera and setup and outcome was spectacular

I got a smart plug for my humidifier and modded the button with an Arduino so that it turns on automatically when powered. Now I have events in my home Assistant on raspberry pi which will keep the VPD within a specified range. Every since then, the plants have been SO much happier and I have piece of mind now. I'm hoping these plants can pull through the stress, but I planted 4 more bag seeds just in case, they will sprout soon. I did some LST because why not. Accidentally broke a stem but I squeezed it together so now I have to pray.

So this week all the gelato 33 plants got 2ml/l fish mix and 1 ml/l of bloom added to 3 litres for water. And each one given a litre each. Gap between was 6 days and no water in-between as soil did not dry out through week

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

🌱 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.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. 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.

Start of week 8 (week 7 feed for the super Lemon Haze, she's going one extra week in total (9)) th blueberries are packing on serious weight, size and stickiness, while also smelling dank as hell! The Super Lemon Haze is still nutrient hungry, I continue to feed her extra each week and she's packing on serious weight and size now as she goes into the last 2 weeks of her grow. Overall the last week 7 was great and the plants are looking good, approaching the end.
