🐺 Week 4 Veg — The Legends of the Frozen North 12/12 from seed 📌 Disclaimer / Timeline clarification Before we begin, a quick note for transparency: Last week, while compiling the reports, I unintentionally included some photos that actually belong to this week. That one’s on me. It’s fairly easy to notice which photos those are, and to avoid duplicating files, I’ll keep the correct visuals where they are while continuing to share this week’s genetics shots and videos as intended. Thank you for the understanding — clarity and honesty always come first here 🙏 Quick recap (for anyone joining us now) We’re in Week 4 of vegetative growth, steady and intentional. No stress events, no corrections, no forcing. This phase has been about establishing structure, roots, and rhythm — letting the plants find their footing before the real acceleration begins. So far, everything has been calm, balanced, and exactly where it should be. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions & Environment • Temperature: 25.7 °C • Relative Humidity: 60% • VPD: Right in the comfort zone for mid-veg • Airflow: Stable and consistent This environment supports: • steady metabolic activity • healthy transpiration • deep green leaf development No swings, no drama — just a room doing its job. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy (Week 4) • LED intensity: 90% • Lighting position: Top lighting only • Under-canopy lighting: Not active yet (planned for flower) The plants are growing into the light, not being pushed by it. That’s an important distinction. We’re not chasing numbers — we’re observing response. To stay informed, we’re using a TrolMaster PAR sensor, walking the tent and checking PPFD across the canopy. Nothing is adjusted — this is purely situational awareness. Knowing where you stand matters, even when you choose not to intervene. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Program (Current Feed) The nutrition is intentionally simple, complete, and supportive: • Plagron Terra Grow — base nutrition for vegetative development • Power Roots — root mass, lateral branching, early resilience • Pure Zym — enzyme support, cleaner rhizosphere • Sugar Royal — gentle metabolic & microbial support • Vita Race — foliar vitality and micronutrient support Nothing excessive. Nothing missing. The plants are responding with lush green color, clean leaf posture, and uniform growth. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Observations • Color: deep, healthy green • Leaves: flat, relaxed, expressive • Growth rate: slow and steady — as expected • Structure: building quietly There’s honestly not much to “fix” this week — and that’s a good sign. Week 4 veg is often deceptive: things look calm on the surface, while roots and internal systems are stacking potential underneath. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and Not Expect) Expect: • a noticeable growth acceleration soon • tighter node stacking • increased appetite as roots fully establish Don’t expect: • explosive stretch yet • dramatic visual changes this week • the need for major adjustments The “takeoff” is coming — not because we force it, but because this groundwork allows it. To the moon is just an expression 😉 — but the momentum is real. ⸻ Closing Notes Week 4 veg is about patience, trust, and restraint. The legends of the frozen north weren’t written in haste — and neither are strong plants. Community Note Due to YouTube community guidelines, our educational channel was taken down.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. 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.

Things are going really well. I'm kind of surprised these are labeled 10-12 weeks I see this finishing before week 9 amazingly. The smells great they are pretty quick. I think that this may be the first harvest indoors with an ilgm auto strain for me. Check back next week to see how far she progresses!

Hello Growmies, As we step into the eighth week of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' flowering stage, the dance of growth and aroma continues to enchant our senses. These delightful plants, sharing their space with Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding varieties, inch ever closer to the pinnacle of their bloom. The Watermelon Candy cultivars are flourishing with an undeniable zest, their foliar tapestry thick with the potential of what's to come. The air is thick with their intoxicatingly sweet scent, a testament to their namesake, and their buds are expanding with satisfying robustness. Plant #1 is maintaining its lead with a striking bud formation, clearly thriving in the consistent environment of the Tent-X system. Plant #2 and Plant #3 are not far behind, with each showing a wealth of budding sites and a sprawling canopy that speaks to a bountiful harvest ahead. Despite being under a 12/12 light cycle along with the photoperiod plants, which may limit their yield compared to a 20/4 cycle, these plants are putting on a splendid show. They continue to swell, their trichome-frosted buds promising a powerful and flavorful finale. Nutrition continues on a carefully scheduled five-day rotation, our blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca nurturing these beauties into their late flowering phase. The TrolMaster system diligently logs every parameter, ensuring our VPD and PPFD values are consistently optimized for peak performance. As the eighth week unfolds, we see the evidence of our meticulous care in the uniform health and structure of the plants. The internodal spaces remain tight, the stems sturdy, and the flowering sites increasingly impressive. With anticipation building for the harvest that lies ahead, we reflect on the journey so far. It's a path marked by shared knowledge and collective experience, all leading us toward what promises to be a remarkable culmination of our efforts. Stay lifted, Salokin

Added another 1800w LED (pulls like 250w from the wall) to the 1800w one we already have. Provides a better even spread of light so they aren't all reaching for the middle and they can grow upwards towards the light instead. Raised average temps by a few degrees with still below 80 so its good. Ended up flooding the tent on accident when the water was left on and it drained our reservoir. The plants experienced some nutrient burn probably because of the 4 gallons of nutrient supplemented water they were flooded with. The time lapse will show the flood :P Refilled the reservoir with 5.8 pH'd water with no nutrients to help the nute burn. Did some defoliation and LST. Janice and Rachel were topped. Ended up accidentally snapping one of the lower branches on Monica and just propped it up and its healing well no issues. Have some great before and after pictures of some of the defoliation and growth on the plants. With the defoliation tons of new bud sights are growing well since the light can penetrate better and the addition of the new light helps too. The runt (Pheobe) is still.... runty. basically just gonna use the zkittlez to fill out some empty spaces that the sour grape kush doesn't fill. The sour grape kush is super bushy and is doing noticeably better.

Interesting grow I thought. Is it worth adding a co2 emitter in an open house or is it a waist. Mind u there r 3 people and 2 dogs when the house is full

08/08/25: The first leaves are starting to fade and the buds are looking like they will be ready to harvest in one or two weeks! Right on cue, summer has finally decided to show up here! We’re in for a warm and sunny week, perfect timing to give the flowers that final push they need to ripen fully and pack on some last-minute weight ☀️🌿 I also really enjoy all the other diaries growing alongside! Seeing different approaches and results has already given me plenty of ideas to improve my next outdoor auto run next year. 😁

Buenas noches familia, pues empezamos con el final. Nuestras power plant xL se han comportado fenómeno , recordamos que metimos 9 plantas de 3 variedades distintas y esta es la única variedad que perdimos espacio del indoor. Aun así sin palabras en cuanto al resultado. Planta con floración muy rápida, bastante vigorosa, lo malo es que al final tendrás que tutorar si o si, pero es por el peso de la flor. 56/59 días para cortar en floración, (y es Sativa).Se supone que tira 20%thc y su genética es South African sativa.

Hit the hydro store and picked up some Fishsh!t and Recharge. Added that, worm castings and some Down to Earth dry amendments to brew up a compost tea. Gave her a big sip on 3/4.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Pink Runtz de RoyalQueenSeeds , que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y con unos tonos muy llamativos. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Electrical Conductivity refers to how easily a material or solution allows electrons or ions to flow continuously when an electrical potential is applied. Electrochemical Reactance is the opposition to alternating current (AC) caused specifically by the temporary storage of energy in electric or magnetic fields, rather than energy being lost as heat. Reactance does not directly alter a material's intrinsic electrical conductivity. Instead, it dictates how the system stores and releases energy over time, which creates a temporary barrier to current flow in AC circuits. Together with resistance, reactance makes up total impedance. Electrical impedance (the combination of resistance and reactance) in the rhizosphere dictates how easily ions and water move into plant roots, directly impacting the Electron Transport Rate (ETR). High impedance restricts ion mobility, leading to nutrient deficiencies that decrease ETR and stunt overall plant growth. Using copper and zinc plates in the plant medium to form a natural earth battery to assist with Electrochemical Reactance. The moist soil acts as an electrolyte, while zinc serves as the anode and copper as the cathode. Zinc is a highly reactive metal and oxidizes, losing electrons into the soil. These electrons travel through an external wire to the copper plate. The moisture and dissolved salts in your plant medium allow charged ions to move freely between the plates, completing the circuit and generating a small direct current (usually between 0.8 and 1.1 volts). This micro-current subtly alters/the Electrical Conductivity (EC), allowing more effective breaking apart of chemical bonds in the soil (electrolysis), making soil nutrients like phosphorus, calcium, and potassium more accessible to roots. Buried the zinc plate on one side of the plant’s root zone and the copper plate on the opposite side. Ran an insulated copper wire above ground to connect the zinc plate to the copper plate, creating a closed loop. Make sure your soil remains moist and contains natural mineral salts; entirely distilled water or bone-dry medium will prevent ion exchange and block the current. Not all minds think the same; it's a hard concept to grasp for one who has only ego. When someone operates solely from the ego, they tend to view their own perspective as the objective truth. To them, if someone else thinks differently, it is seen as a flaw, a lack of intelligence, or a personal affront, rather than simply a different, valid experience. The ego assumes that others are just extensions of itself. It cannot easily differentiate between "I think this" and "This is the universal truth". This is called the Mirror Fallacy. True understanding of another mind requires stepping out of oneself. The ego, by definition, is obsessed with self-preservation and being "right," which blocks empathy. Different perspectives are interpreted as attacks on the ego's stability. Instead of curiosity, it feels defensive. Acknowledging that others have entirely different internal worlds—with unique motivations, fears, and histories—requires dismantling the illusion that the world revolves around one’s own viewpoint. It’s a shift from "Why are they wrong?" to "How did they get to that perspective?" Gospel of Thomas #17 "I shall give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and no hand has touched, and what has not come into the human heart." precedes saying #18, which questions the "beginning" and "end". First, you need The Eyes to See, The Ears to Hear & The Mind of the Heart. "Alpha to omega" refers to the first (Α/α) and last (Ω/ω) letters of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing "the beginning and the end". It represents totality, eternity, or the entirety of something. Revelation 22:13, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (NKJV, NIV). Both originate from Greek. Alpha (Α/α) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet (representing the beginning). Atom comes from atomos, meaning "indivisible," often seen as the foundational "first" particle of matter. In some esoteric and linguistic theories, the biblical name "Adam" (Hebrew for man/earth) is connected to "atom" because both represent the original, foundational unit (the first man vs. the first particle). Alpha Particles are particles emitted during radioactive decay, named "alpha" because they were the first type of nuclear radiation discovered. They are atomic nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons. The study of the atom often deals with the "beginning" (alpha) of chemical reactions and fundamental building blocks. The terms are linked primarily as symbols for "the beginning" (Alpha), the "fundamental unit" (Atom), and the "original man" (Adam). The uppercase symbol Omega (Ω/ω) is primarily used in electronics and physics to measure electrical resistance in ohms, representing how materials resist electron flow. It is also used in various fields to represent the density parameter in cosmology, solid angles in physics, and special constants or asymptotic growth rates in mathematics. In quantum mechanics, "Omega" (Ω/ω) can refer to several concepts related to measuring or representing quantum coherence, generally categorized into dynamical, mathematical, or physical parameters: Dynamical Coherence Measures Omega Pattern (Superconducting Circuits) Coupling Strength Angular Frequency Quantum Coherence Framework v24.0 Electron flow is not the same as electrical conductivity, but they are intimately related. Electron flow is the physical motion of electrons, while electrical conductivity is the material property that determines how easily that flow can happen. Electron Flow (The "What"): The physical movement of negatively charged electrons through a conductor (usually from negative to positive). It is the act of carrying a charge. Electrical Conductivity (The "How Well"): An intrinsic material property that measures how easily a material allows electrons (or other charge carriers) to move through it. Electron Flow (The Action): The actual physical movement of electrons from one molecule (donor) to another (acceptor) in a pathway, such as the photosynthetic electron transport chain or cellular respiration. The current itself (dynamic electricity). Electrical Conductivity (The Property): An intrinsic property of a material (like copper,glass,soil) that measures how easily it allows electric current (electron flow) to pass through it. A measure of ease. A high-conductivity material has low resistance and lets electrons move freely. Electron transport rate (ETR), the rate at which electrons travel through the chain. You can have Electron Flow occurring (electrons moving through the chain), but a very low Electron Transport Rate if the plant is in the shade. If light increases, the Electron Flow still follows the same path, but the Electron Transport Rate increases because more electrons are moving per second. In summary, ETR is a quantitative measure of electron flow. Think of "Electron Flow" as the movement itself, and "Electron Transport Rate" as the speed or quantity of that movement. Photosystem II (PSII) is a critical multi-subunit protein complex in thylakoid membranes that initiates photosynthetic light reactions by splitting water and transferring electrons. "Et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt," John 1:5

After 12 days leaving her in the lap of Shiva, she survived! And doing pretty well concidering. I swapped out Tomorite for three Biobizz products, because they are more natural. I mean, what's not natural about growing cannabis in a fridge?

My o my, what can I say... These ladies are gorgeous! Along with adding in the 2000W along side my 600W, I cut out the grow solution in my nutes contrary to the instructions and my ladies are booming! We'll see how the rest of the week continues! I started a majority bloom with some added glucose for my feed to help with bud weight but they are really packing on. Hopefully next week will be my last week of feeding as trichrome production increases and I can start my 2 week flush!
