The Cookie Girls are doing great 😊 Overall, I’m very pleased with the results so far. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Plants are chilling, added in some bokashi and dry amendments, not expecting much more from this plant, just needs to finish growing and we can be done.

I switched her to flowering. After returning from my Holiday I decided I would be moving cities. I wanted to veg her longer but switched the bulbs at 8 weeks. I am finally able to sleep in the dark! This rocks! Ive also been removing a lot of the excess leaf growth just to keep her fresh and not too crowded. The cardboard screen was removed and I used 4 chopsticks to press down on the lower branches and press the tops a little further apart; This really helped to space the branches out wider and allow light to breakthrough on some of the lower nodes. I started feeding her a little bit of molasses in her water, just to aid in the flowering. I also added wood ash to the top layer before watering. Also a little compost tea every now and then.

First day switch to 12/12 seeing white specks on leaves.

Week 13 – Day 91 / FLO 63 🌞 Temp: 24°C 💦 RH: 44% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.6 ⚡ EC: 0.2 💦 H2O: 800ml/24h Good nutrient control throughout the entire grow, I managed to completely eliminate nitrogen at the end, which makes me really happy, because the final taste will be much better. SHe have nice frosty buds with some fresh gasy flowering and citurs aroma. I do what i can to bring her to ripening but looks like we need a couple days more. SHe start drinking a little less soo we must be close. 👻👻👻

Week 7 is finished, end is near. This one seems to be finishing up with only a week or two left. Some fade has started and this GG#4 is really colourful! A few nanners have popped up, must be genetics but not to sure what I did to cause them to come out, more than likely to much light. I dimmed the light regardless as the leaves on the tallest cola in the tent were showing signs of stress. So yeah, nanners, probably light stress. Fungus gnats are bugging me for sure, but the plants seem fine. Need to get them under control after this run. Lights are at 20” dimmed to around 65%, hopefully for a measurement of about 650 ppfd. They were at 75%, but plants were showing signs of stress so I dimmed them. Just watering using tap water, not ph’d, through drip on a timer. I drink my water straight from the tap, ph is around 7, and less than 15ppm, good for me, good for my plants. Water is aerated in a 30 gallon reservoir. Hand water once a week with Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17. Light still breaking through canopy in spots. Lots of leaves, but not much bud sites below. No need to remove big leaves yet. Thanks for the view, happy growing!

Well I thought she was close to harvest but she decided to have another growth spurt. I’m glad I didn’t chop her! There was lots more bud growth this week but that’s stopped now and I haven’t seen white pistils for a couple of days so I think she’s close. The pistils are turning amber slowly, there’s still only a few here and there so we’ll wait and see. Happy growing.

Removed some buds that weren't getting any light, I ran into some issues regarding mold and that is most likely due to the fact that the RH % of my tent goes up to 70/80% at night. I've removed all mold I could see (2 branches) and I am keeping a close eye on them, I've placed a new tower fan and another small adjustable fan in the tent for more airflow, my dehumidifier is coming in 2 weeks (around the time this grow is finished..)

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

This week they got their last feeding today by top dressing the medium working it in the top couple inches and getting thoroughly drenched with some calmag and fox farms kangaroots microbe liquid. Shouldn't have to do anything from here on out except water and admire the ladies.

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . ++ nur probleme mit der Zeitrafferkamera . Sorry für die Schrägen und halben Aufnahmen . Vielleicht schaff ich beim nächsten Grow da abhilfe zu leisten. Day 50: Wachstumstillstand bei 68cm .

Es wird hier einfach zu heiss im Zelt. Day 54: Weltuntergangsstimmung für meine Zoe . Dank des Super Wetters hab ich hier 77%-80% Luftfeuchtigkeit (draussen ist es noch höher ) und es wird auch noch warm . Ergo, schon gestern hat meine Pflanze extreme Probleme mit der Wurzeltemperatur bekommen und hat die Blätter hängen lassen . Ich hab das Licht runtergeschraubt und Abluft extrem erhöht. Ventilation direkt in die Pflanze sonst gibts Schimmel . Aber hilft halt nicht wirklich . Luftentfeuchter läuft auf Dauerschaltung und produziert dann auch noch Wärme, die ich überhaupt nicht gebrauchen kann bei den Temperaturen draussen lol. Ein Teufelskreis :(((((( Day 55: + 1.75 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Canna PH+ + + PH 5.88 Draussen sind 31 Grad , ich hab den ganzen Growroom + Vorraum (meine Wohnung ) über Nacht runtergekühlt so weit es ging (23°C und 22°C). Das Licht noch weiter reduziert dafür näher an die Planze gemacht. Das ist wirklich das mindeste was noch geht. Liegt ca bei PPFD 600 an der Spitze . Wenigstens ist hier die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Rahmen , zwar immer noch zuviel (67% im Zelt) aber besser so als das hier die Hitze in die Höhe schießt . Nach 12h Licht (19:00 Uhr) wird dann wieder aufgedreht und die letzen Stunden mit mehr intensität nachgeholt was nachzuholen geht , denn dann gehen hier erst wieder die Temperaturen runter . Day 56: Läuft wie gestern ab 19:00 wurde das Licht aufgedreht und DLI nachgeholt .

UPDATE mid week spoted smnth on the soil that turned out to be a polinator. When inspected the plant found them all over. Especialy in the lower btanches. But on mostly all of branches, they are blendong in with lower buds very tight making them hard to clear. I belive there still some left. And most probably they are going to keem emerging. 3rd week of flowering - looks good. Hairy and even a bit frosty already. I was wrong about water consumprion. Although I managed to put 2 liters at a time and the fabric pot held it, it was too much, the soil was wet for around 4 days. And the humidity in my 50 by 50 cm 1 meter high tent was 99%. So wattering back to 1 liter each second day, just right. Starting to think that maybe in couple of weeks I will need to remove some fan leaves as it realy is quite bushy and when buds will start to swell and get dencier I will need to addres humidity concearns

This this so strong smell !!

Really big stretch! Doubled in height in a little over a week. Pre flower sites all over as she is getting ready to do her thing. I may have finally duplicated a successful effort.

One of the last days of 2x 16 colas and 2x 4 colas mainlining 4 month growing. Jamaican Dream and Green crack potted together and the experiment was successful. Three Blue kings was stressed in vegetative period by iron excess and overwatering. This is the reason that lower buds did not developed better. Amherst Sour diesel have one of the biggest buds I have ever seen. Jamaican Dream should be developed smaller, like Green Crack, but 100% sativa genetics showed it's greatness. Green Crack was growing like Jamaican Dream in vegetative period, but in flowering period its growing was slowly and now it has become very thick and full of buds. My growing box is very cheap but I tried maximum of my budget. 600w HPS is one of the greatest lamp for indoor growing. At flowering stage I have increased 600w to Super Lumens on my digital ballast for maximum yield. Main mistake is that I have used very cheap and primitive pots and soil was not enough good too. In these days I'll cut diesel and kings tops, because they are almost ready and lower buds need 7-12 more days to be ready for harvest.

dry weight of buds after trimming = 93 gram and about 5 gram of Trim so 98g Total. Actual plan was to leave the plant some more days but after seeing some Nanas developing inside the buds i decided to cut it at day 65 of flower. great smell and cant wait to smoke the final product. All in all definetly a good strain for living soil.

She's pretty much on autopilot now. Trichomes clear still.

Cosmic Noodles 🙂 | Week 13 Still fading, still feeding, still building Week 13 from seed. Week 9 of flower. And somehow, still not finished. At this point, there is not much left to do — and that is exactly the point. This is the part of the run where patience becomes the whole job. The structure is set. The flowers are built. The room is stable. The plant has already told us what she is. Now we wait, we watch, and we let her finish. And she is still finishing. ⸻ How we got here This has been another full 12/12 from seed run from day one. No veg reset, no extended shaping, no wasted time — just direct expression from seed to flower under the same cycle all the way through. Week by week, Cosmic Noodles built exactly the kind of structure these runs are so good at showing: clean vertical movement, strong branching, long stacked tops, and a very honest expression from start to finish. No tricks. No extra recovery windows. No artificial delays. Just genetics, environment, consistency, and time. Now in week 13 from seed and week 9 of flower, she is exactly where late flower should be: fading, swelling, ripening, and slowly closing the loop. ⸻ Nothing changed — and that is a good thing This week looks almost identical on paper. Same room. Same temperatures. Same humidity. Same hand watering. Same low input. Same stable environment. And at this stage, that is exactly what you want. No sudden changes. No chasing numbers. No late flower panic. No unnecessary corrections. The plant is still drinking. Still feeding from herself. Still moving. Still adding weight. That matters more than any adjustment would. Late flower is not the time to start experimenting. It is the time to stay out of the way and pay attention. ⸻ Fading exactly how she should The leaves are fading more now, and that is expected. Color is leaving the fans. The plant is consuming what she stored. The green is slowly pulling back. And the whole plant is starting to look like it understands the assignment. This is not decline. This is finish. She is doing exactly what a healthy late flower plant should do — slowly cannibalizing reserves, pushing energy into the flowers, and putting everything that is left into the final swell. And despite that fade, she is still building. That is the important part. She is not fading because she stopped. She is fading because she is finishing. Big difference. ⸻ Still swelling, still stacking weight Even now, she is still putting on mass. Not explosive growth. Not dramatic change. Just steady late pressure. The flowers are denser. The stacks are tighter. The tops are heavier. The whole plant feels more compact every few days. And that main cola is ridiculous. At this point it is less “main top” and more “forearm.” Long, thick, dense, and still tightening. The rest of the plant follows the same pattern — not oversized in height, but packed, compact, and much heavier than she looks at first glance. This is the kind of late flower weight that sneaks up quietly and then suddenly feels very real when you touch the branches. ⸻ Trichomes are moving, but not there yet This week is still a waiting game. Trichomes are changing, but not finished. Still mostly clear. Some starting to turn cloudy. Almost no amber worth talking about yet. A few here and there, but nothing meaningful. The hairs are telling a similar story. Still plenty of white, though they are clearly beginning to shift. That usually says the same thing the resin is saying: Close. But not yet. She is moving in the right direction, just not on our schedule. And that is fine. ⸻ Quiet week, sharp eyes This week is mostly observation. No pushing. No chasing. No guessing. Just keeping everything clean, steady, and under control. Hand watering continues. Inputs stay simple. Only water and Pure Zym. Root zone stays active. Plant stays supported. Environment stays stable. And eyes stay sharp. This is the stage where the work is mostly watching: checking density checking airflow checking weak spots checking for rot checking for mold checking for signs of stress So far: nothing. No bud rot. No visible issues. No real concerns. No surprises. Exactly how we want it. ⸻ What to expect next week Honestly? More of the same — and that is good news. More fade. More density. More cloudy heads. Less clear resin. More ripening. More signs that the window is finally opening. Will next week be harvest? Maybe. Maybe not. That is still up to her. At this point we are close enough to start thinking about the finish, but still patient enough not to force it. And late flower always rewards patience more than impatience. So next week we watch again. And if she says she is ready, we listen. ⸻ Closing thoughts Week 13 from seed. Week 9 flower. Still standing. Still drinking. Still swelling. Still building. And still not done. Exactly the kind of problem worth having. Big love to everyone following along. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To GrowDiaries for the platform. To the growers in the comments. To the long-time followers. To the OGs. To the new ones. To the quiet ones watching. To the supporters. To the skeptics. To the lovers and the haters alike.

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.

Update week 4 RDWC

Soweit, sogut ..... Erste Blätter bekommen eine lila Farbe, Knospen werden langsam dichter ... Tag 58 ... Wetter wieder kälter, kaum Sonne 😐
