🌱 Folder #1 — Lemon Cherry Gelato Week 3 Veg — 12/12 From Seed This run continues to surprise me in the best possible way. This plant is an autoflower, grown 12/12 from seed, and honestly… it’s performing well beyond expectations. This is my first time ever running autoflowers under a strict 12/12 cycle from day one, and I didn’t know what to expect going in. What I’m seeing now is clear, confident growth — calm, structured, and healthy. We are currently moving into the third pair of leaves, and what’s interesting is how balanced the behavior feels. At moments it almost feels like: • the autoflowers are behaving like photoperiods • or the photoperiods are behaving like autos Either way, the plant is responding beautifully. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Structure • Stage: Week 3 veg • Light cycle: 12/12 from seed • Height: ~10 cm • Nodes: Third pair of leaves forming • Overall vigor: Strong, steady, controlled The leaves are lush, vibrant green, with excellent posture and spacing. Growth is compact but not stalled — exactly what I want to see at this stage, especially under 12/12. ⸻ 🎨 Leaf Expression & Personality We’re starting to see a bit of personality show up — nothing problematic at all. There is some light discoloration / pigmentation variation on the leaves, creating a subtle, almost camouflage-like pattern. Important to note: • No signs of deficiency • No stress signals • No structural issues Just natural expression, and honestly, it looks beautiful and unique. This is one of those moments where observation matters more than reaction. I’m loving it, and I’m very curious to see how this expression evolves as the plant matures. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Feeding All parameters remain identical to the previous report, keeping consistency across the room: • Same temperatures • Same humidity • Same solution • Same EC & pH • Same airflow philosophy Nothing changed — and that’s exactly the point. The plant is responding positively within the system. ⸻ 🧠 Observations So Far What stands out most is how comfortable these autoflowers seem under 12/12. There’s no rush, no panic, no weird stretch — just calm, confident development with a strong focus on structure and roots. This run is already teaching me something, and we’re only in week three.

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.

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Calcium deficiency on one plant because of LED light. Must have been repotted 24-48h sooner. The girls look pretty healthy despite of that :-)

Was out of town all week and came back to find the CBD Star in my space bucket not looking good. It looks like a phosphorus deficiency but not entirely sure. Yellow leaves with brown/black spots and dark red/purple stems. I flushed it with 2 gallons 6.5 pH water, re-fertilized, put it out in the sun and defoliated. I defoliated pretty heavily since many of the fan leaves were yellowed and blocking light from the lower bud sites. The center was also getting pretty dense so I carefully removed some of the leaves to help with airflow. Despite the stress, It seems to have bounced back reasonably well. There’s probably irreparable damage given the level of yellowing but the buds continue to grow and thicken. Cheese has absolutely exploded and looks great. It probably doubled in height last week with many bud sites on the 5 main stalks. Excited to see how it turns out.

ok so we have topped this girl 5 times in total and she has responded really well bounced back and is thriving 👏 she is fulling out lovely 😍 and will be flipping in around a week maybe 2

#Chemical Bride 1 has a cherry scent 🍒🍒🍒 #Chemical Bride 2 has a vanilla scent !

Looking wonderful. Very close to harvesting. 90% of hairs are orange and the trichomes are 80% cloudy 20% clear I did notice some amber here and there but she's got a wee bit longer.

Day 60, week 9 a Little video update, i switched to 12-12 and seems working, the lady Is growing a lot during night time. Day 61, what the fuck Is wrong with this leaf, what i can do? I was checking the lady and found this leaf on the main cola, i cutted It Off and now i'm worried could be some fungus 😟 Day 63 end of week 9, today i feeded calmag let's see how the lady turn out

Posting the phenos when I do them

Oct 5: Bruce is doing great. I was getting worried she wouldn’t finish in time but she’s picked up the pace and the weather is still good. Sort of. Hitting zero tonight and high of +3 C tomorrow. After that it’s sunny for two weeks with highs near 20 C. She’s turned purple the last few days and is putting on weight. 👍👍 She also broke a limb when blown over (again). Removing big fan leaves that are shading bud sites. Oct 6: she’s beautiful. Removed some large fan leaves that were shading bud. Feels weirdly warm tonight. Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk as a bloom booster. Now down to just over 11 h of daylight. Oct 10: looking good this morning. Oct 11: been removing fan leaves to get as much light on the buds as possible. Sunlight is weak and low to the horizon but this month continues being unseasonably warm. We’re usually getting quite hard frosts by now but the forecast is warm for another two weeks. Some nice purple showing from the lowish overnight temps though. I just checked, and yes, it has been “extremely hot” again for the last 30 days.

09/14/22 plant is growing nice. Leaves have a mutation, I think will be fine.

Flush is on! A gallon a day each of pH’ed tap water for the next week and a half to 2 weeks. Fall colors galore incoming! One is already going mad purple as I started it on the flush a bit earlier.

¡Hola a todos! Han pasado 3 semanas de floración y ya se pueden ver pequeños brotes. He estirado aún más las ramas que han crecido. También he recortado las hojas enormes para que la luz pueda penetrar en el interior de la planta. He agregado más fósforo al fertilizante para estimular la floración. Ahora solo queda la etapa final de la floración. ¡Estoy esperando con ansias!

1st major defoliation end of week 1 flower. Girls are looking all kinds of healthy. #1 is leaving #2 behind now in the stretch, root mass and overall look. Streching very nicely, almost doubled in size over 2 weeks.

Nice

All going well here with these ladies 😎🌿 the buds have been swelling up day by day hour by hour and they are very stinky with tons of crystals and trichromes covered from head to toe. The Colorado Cookies are by far some of the gassiest flower I've grown by far. Their bud structure is very fat and dense also quite big too while the buds on the Banana blaze has tons of hairs which are starting to turn orange with a hint of banana and citrus by scratching the stalks to smell the terpenes.
