30/01/2026 This transformation marks the moment she moves past the Purgatory cycle of purification. After shedding the weight of that transition, she’s finally breathing, stretching, and claiming her space. ​...... ​The Awakening: Post-Purification ​The Purgatory cycle is behind her now. Those scarred leaves were just the shedding of the old self—the necessary price for this purification. Now, the ritual of the manifold is taking hold. I’ve opened her up, breaking her singular focus to force a new, balanced symmetry across the hub. ​The Flow of Energy ​By pinning her down, I’ve mastered the apical dominance. I’m redirecting the internal flow, sending the life-force equally into every node rather than letting one stalk hog the light. We are building a foundation of perfect geometry. ​Current State: ​The Structure: The LST is set. I’ve widened the canopy to maximize the light-soak, ensuring no part of her is left in the shadows. ​The Environment: The reflective scroll-work is guarding the roots, keeping the light on the leaves and out of the depths where the nutrients flow. ​Growth: She’s vibrating with a new frequency. The energy levels are surging, and you can see the secondary shoots beginning their ascent. This is where the expansion truly begins. ​The cleanse continues, but the frame is set. She’s getting bigger, stronger, and more aligned with the ritual. ​..... I've just stretch her wings out to open her centre for the new shoots.. .... -Midday- Attached her training Wires; therse create huge knuckles! They undo easy as well; no faffing about! ..... Few-hours later... She's flipped her leaves and is praying 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ⛪️ Diary Entry: Friday, Jan 30th – The Midday Pivot ​The Steady State ​Transitioned to a maintenance-level reservoir dose of 10ml 12% H_2O_2 in the 5L master-mix for the Bubblegum (Female Seeds) and Back To The Future #2. ​Adjusted the nutritional frequency after running out of "Grow" by pivoting to a half-dose of Bloom (2ml/L); this provides the Phosphorus and Potassium needed to harden the vascular knuckles without a Nitrogen spike. ​Applied botanical hydrosol to the mix to maintain the "stillness" and clear biofilm management. ​Hardware & Logistics ​Confirmed with Ergtech that the Gativa power leads have shipped via FedEx (Tracking: 888340178046). ​Delivery is locked for Monday, Feb 2nd, aligning perfectly with the end of the 72-hour structural hardening phase. ​Biological Alignment ​Successfully reached the Round 3 protocol; the "biofilm shells" in the right ear are breaking down under the bubbling/crackling phase. ​The vagus nerve release is active: right nostril is open, sense of smell is sharp, and the internal "whooshing" sound of vascular flow is serving as the metronome for the reset. ​Lineage acknowledgment: The "40% Italian engine" is driving the symmetry and discipline of the manifolding. ​The Result (Few Hours Later...) ​The Bubblegum has already responded to the wiring with an aggressive phototropic turn; she is stretching and "praying" back toward the light, signaling peak turgor pressure. ​The Back To The Future #2 remains stable under the dome, preparing to transition out of the stillness and into the manifold frame. .... 31/01/2026 Log Entry: Atmospheric Optimization & Metabolic Continuity ​Environmental Parameters ​Thermal Logic: Maintaining a constant 27°C (80.6°F) diurnal/nocturnal cycle. By eliminating the standard 3°C nighttime drop, I am bypassing the "metabolic glitch" and ensuring uninterrupted enzymatic velocity and nutrient uptake. ​The 8-Inch Upgrade: Transitioning from 6-inch to 8-inch industrial ventilation. This increases atmospheric throughput while reducing static pressure and turbulence. The goal is a total "atmospheric flush" to prevent stagnation and potential biofilm/pathogen footholds. ​The "Back to the Future" Survivor ​Current State: The plant is in a high-turgor "Prayer" position, indicating optimal root pressure and water potential. ​The Transition: Executing Dome Removal during a 15-minute "dark window" to minimize transpirational shock. Removing the dome now introduces the plant to the new 8-inch airflow, forcing a "hardening off" response while she is at her metabolic peak. .... ​01/02/2026 Lite defoll of the inner fan leaves to open up her new shoots 🔫 bubblegum femaleseeds. 02/02/2026 Defolled one fan leaves and using wires to anchor down #back to the Future .... 03/02/2026 ​Current Draw: 446W (Wall) Controller Output: 66% Primary Fixture: Gavita CT E2000 ​System Calibration & Thermal Management The transition from the Spectrum King SK600s to the Gavita CT E2000 has fundamentally stabilized the room’s atmosphere. At a 446W wall draw, the Gavita's heatsinks are demonstrating superior thermal conductivity. Unlike the SK600s, which were prone to heat saturation and "glitching" the leaf surface temperatures, the CT E2000 is handling the current load with massive headroom. The energy is being converted into usable PAR rather than wasted infrared heat, keeping the environment in a high-pressure, high-efficiency state. ​Atmospheric & Fusion Dynamics The room is currently operating under a clean "Helium Pulse" proxy. By maintaining the 66% output, I’m avoiding the "Reaction Core" collapse that occurs with lower-grade fixtures. The light spectrum is consistent, creating a shimmering effect in the sky of the grow space that mimics the high-pressure (HP) conditions of the core. There is a visible difference in how the setup is responding; the biological structures are syncing with the electromagnetic frequency of the Gavita much more effectively than before. ​Protocol Logistics ​Power Efficiency: The system is locked in. 446W is the sweet spot for the current cycle, providing enough photon density without stressing the localized ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) levels. ​Environmental Buffer: The superior dissipation from the new heatsinks allows for a more stable pressure gradient. This "Atmospheric Shift" ensures that the energy everlasting within the chemical-electric circuit of the room remains in equilibrium. ​Next Phase: Monitoring the 446W draw through the weekend. The plan remains to maintain this high-frequency stability until the next major metabolic reset. .... The physics here perfectly back up my theory on "Fusion Dynamics"—i've moved from a low-efficiency "leaky" core to a high-pressure, stabilized reaction. ​The Photon Output Shift: Metric Spectrum King Total PPF Output ~1,390 mu mol/s SK600 Gavita CT E2000 (at 66%) The Impact 1,320 mu mol/s Nearly identical output, but with 200W less draw. Efficacy ~2.15 mu mol/J ~3.0 mu mol/J The Gavita is roughly 40% more efficient at converting watts to light. Wall Draw ~650W 446W I’ve cut 200W of heat waste per fixture. ..... Why the Gavita Feels Like a "Better Pulse" ​Uniformity vs. Intensity: The SK600 used a single-point "COB" style output, which creates a massive hot spot in the center but drops off rapidly. The Gavita CT E2000 uses wide-angle optics to distribute those 1,320 photons evenly across the canopy. This is why you see a better biological response; every part of the plant is getting the "Helium Pulse," not just the center. ​Spectral Tuning: The Gavita has a significantly higher concentration of Blue (400-500nm) and Deep Red (660nm) wavelengths. This hits the "Absorption Peaks" of chlorophyll much harder than the SK600's broader, less-efficient white light. ​Thermal Pressure: Because the Gavita is pulling 446W wall draw to do the work the SK600 needed 650W for, i've essentially removed 200 Watts of "atmospheric noise" (infrared heat) from the room. Your "Ice Wall" (the cooling capacity of the room) doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the pressure. ​The Verdict for the Diary ​I'm not just saving electricity; I've upgraded the quality of the energy. At 446W (66%), I'm delivering almost the exact same "photon count" as a wide-open Spectrum King, but with a spectrum that is tuned for "High-Pressure" growth. ​Also running a 780w light at 446W (66%) means longer life and efficiency of the diodies. These lights many be dear and alot controversy around the manufacturer, but I'll let this grow speak for itself!

El registro corresponden a los dias 28, 30 de abril y 2,3,4 de mayo Despues de realizar corte apical y algo de lst junto defoliación leve. Hasta ahora las plantas van muy bien, creciendo muy bonitas y con fuerza. Tratando de llevar todo de la mejor manera ya pude ajustar algo el set donde tengo mis planta y cada vez más contento con estos resultados! Ya hoy la white widow ibl cumple 30 dias desde germinada y la zinfandel 23.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Hi guys and welcome back to week 12 😉 The plants look pretty good but the smell is even greater! The new dehumidifier does its work and the humidity is much lower now. Before the max was 79%. Now max is 63%. And if you just could smell it!!! You would fall in love immediately 😉 I just let the pictures speak for themselves ^^

25/11 Day 73 already and starting another week (week 4 since I changed the photoperiod); budlets are not completely formed but still look like more of preflowers. She continues to stretch, she's growing 4-5 cm per day, a complete beast. I think she could be stretching more before the aspect of the preflowe/budlets cahnge much. Comparatively with the pictures of other Grinspoon's growers, the flowering stage is going on very slowly...well I thought the same when she was at vegetative stage, I saw everybody's Grinspoon specimen was much bigger and much sooner than the one of mine, but in the end her growth has been so big that I 'd have liked better she hadn't grown that much. She's entirely taken over the grow room! The light spectrum I use does not promote much stretching per se, as I've seen it on many other hybrid strains in the last two and a half years since I have this system. It's a 80cm*80cm*160 cm grow box (Darkbox) and so far I think the environment for the plant is, in general, let's say fine (except perhaps the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter). Humidity is a little high, becuase my place is humid and I don't specailly control it but I'd guess it is roughly 60% HR throughout the year. Being that said, I blame this stretching entirely to her genes and yes, my lack of caution to have prevented all this enormous growth from happening. Really I didn't want to regret later, of not having the size of the plant I wanted and also for not knowing how much she would stretch (I wouldn't have thought this much) I let her grow more than I should have. But one learns from his mistakes and by growing new strains, every strain has different phenos and one never knows which is destined to one's plant. The fertigation solution is now 0.5 mL/L Pro-Silicate; 1,3 mL/L Cal-Max; 0,4 g/L Flower Power Bloom fertilizer at pH 6.1-6.2, EC is 1.35 mS/cm and I raised the fertigation volume to 6L keeping the frequency. Day 74 (26(11) she keeps on stretching, I'm seeing another way to raise the lights the maximum I can, I see the budlets forming more definitely so I don't think she'll be stretching much longer, perhaps and luckily this week she stops doing it. Meantime all I can do is keeping the tallest shoots out of the line of the led lights to prevent bleaching of the leaves or the budlets being burnt. God help me with this. I'll post some pics tomorrow if I have more time. My plants do take more than 60% of my free time at home (but I <3 growing marijuana). Day 75 (27/11) I used a few hooks from the bathtub's curtain to hold the growlights and managed to raise them a precious distance. Day 76 (28/11/2019) i jumped off the bed to assess the sitaution and evertyhing was normal, a big blade burned it tip for proximity to a led light, but the bud tips seem no to be damaged -yet-because of the strong lights/heat. One fertigation (inflow EC 1.35 mS/cm. EC run off 1,5 mS/cm) "en dan ben ik klaar met haar". Day 77 29-11-2019 she keeps growing tall and she's become something almost unmanageable. A couple of shoots have surpassed the lights. If only they won't be burned 🙏 Day 78 (30/11) She seems to be stopping growing. When I saw her I realised extraction fan was gone, fortunately being Saturday I could find a replacement soon. I find that run off pH is 5.3 (collected at the last portion the run-off, 2nd fertigation of the day. Isn't it a little too acidic to leave this issue untreated? Day 79 (01/12) after a reply from @knut at cocoforcannabis.com I am advised not to take in consideration runoff pH but to take care of pH in and EC "in", as for the runoff, just checking EC, because pH varies for the interaction between nutrients and is of zero interest, so I was told. The extractor is working fine and it is a lot more silent than the older one. Last for today, I'd say I'm happy she seems to have completed the stretching phase, although there are a few shoots at scarce centimeters from the ceiling of the box as a consequence. The other shoots are fine, at a reasonably good position from the lights. It was very hard times with these last weeks and the damned stretching. If I had to evaluate the growing difficulty of this strain, I'd say "quite hard" because she's pretty much unmanageable at the stretching phase, unless proper caution measures be taken before it's too late. Day 80 (2/12/2019) To end week 12 (4th week flowering) I see it seems that stretching phase is over so I can breath again. She still may be growing one or two centimeters, that I dunno for sure, but judging from the accelerated rate of stretching I have seen since the last two weeks, it appears that she won't get taller. She's almost tocuhed the ceiling :/ I see a slight swelling of the baby buds, like the calixes that are starting to form.

The #1 Pheno was growing pretty clumped up, so i Trained it a little bit. I did take some clones from all of them and i will switch them to flower at the end of the week. So far so good. Hoping for the Best.

so week 11.. The gorillaz are carrying on beautifully, however I realised having 5 plants sharing one reservoir is now quite a bad idea.. 2/5 of them look to be well into flower, fattening up and some tri's starting to turn cloudy but look like theres still plenty of fattening up to do. The other 3 are now just beginning to fully pistil up so will still be requiring flowering nutes when I should be beginning a flush on the other 2.. any comment or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!? The Stardawgs have basically grown into tennis balls. Such a vast majority of bud sites all the way down look so much larger than I could ever have hoped and i've had to tie some of the buds to the main colas!! I will Be starting the flush this week as most Tri's are now cloudy i'd say around 4/5 currently but more throrugh macros will be taken as the days progress. The only problem i've had is some of the sugar leaves on 2 of the plants have really taken a beating and show some strange signs. I think the LED's aren't to be under estimated and i've battled some burning and what seems to be calmag issues through the grow.

So This week was the same as the last really, It seems all I have to do is sit back and watch these ladies do their thing! Ive not gone full on with the bloom supplements or PK yet as only 2/5 of the GG are seriously flowering. The other 3/5 GG are now Finally showing some signs of flower and some tops are starting to build and lowers producing more pistils each day! The Stardawgs continue to explode, even some friends who were sceptical about the performance of the Quantum board LED's have been flow away by the results. All of the buds seem to be building dramatically top to bottom which no shortage of frost! Macro shots on the way!!

Hopefully close to lights out just a light watering when dry this week while they finish up. The trichome development has been slower than I thought but I am checking daily and they still look to me like they are in the stage of turning cloudy with less and less clear ones showing along with a small amount of amber ones starting to appear more and more. Some of the girls are developing a little slower than the others which is to be expected and they are fading in colour so it looks like they are consuming the last remaining nutrients from their reserves at different stages. Lights out possibly tomorrow or the the day after all going well. Hopefully the next update is the harvest. 🙌 Peace.

5/11 - 5/17: I topped a couple shoots early in the week and have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.👌 I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. I topped another of her shoots on the 14th and about an hour later, I realized that I should have taken it as a cutting..I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #5. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...👈 This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. 👍
