🌌 Cosmic Noodles — Week 7 (12/12 from seed) Reading the plant, not the panic First of all — welcome to everyone new joining the diary. Quick recap below so nobody has to dig through old reports to understand how we got here. This is a 12/12 from seed run, which means there is no clean, universal “flower week.” Each plant decided on her own when to flip, stretch, and settle. That context matters for everything you’re about to read. ⸻ 🌱 Quick recap — Seed to Week 7 • Germinated and flipped 12/12 from day one • Early structure built with air training + metal clamps • Focus from the start was: • Structure over speed • Roots over tops • Stability over chasing charts • Plants developed strong internodes, upright posture, and open architecture • No rushing, no forcing — just guidance By Week 6–7, structure was locked in. Which brings us to now. ⸻ 🌡️ Room conditions (current) • 🌡️ Day temp: ~28 °C • 💧 RH: ~65% • ⚡ EC: ~2.4 • pH: ~6.5 • 📏 Height: ~40–80 cm • 💡 LED lighting On paper, some growers panic at 28 °C in flower. But here’s the difference between growing by numbers and growing by understanding. ⸻ 🍃 LED, leaf temperature & VPD (the part most people skip) Under LED, room temperature ≠ leaf temperature. LEDs don’t radiate infrared heat like HPS. That means: • A wall sensor can read 28 °C • While leaf surface temperature is often 2–4 °C cooler And plants don’t feel the room — they feel their leaves. That’s where leaf VPD comes in. If: • Room temp = 28 °C • Leaf temp ≈ 24–26 °C • RH = 65% 👉 Leaf VPD lands right in the comfort zone for early–mid flower. And the plants confirm it: • Deep, relaxed green • No tacoing, no stress-praying • Strong internodes • Uniform uptake across phenotypes That’s real data. We’re not ignoring numbers — we’re letting plant behavior be the final authority. Stability beats “fixing” something that isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Defoliation — why it was heavier this time Let’s be clear: This was not aesthetic defoliation. This was functional defoliation. Context matters: • 🏠 8×8 room • 🌱 ~27 plants • 🌬️ Airflow, humidity pockets, and light distribution scale very differently Sometimes a single plant wouldn’t ask for defoliation — but the room does. Why we defoliated: • Improve airflow through a dense canopy • Reduce micro-humidity pockets • Let photons travel into the canopy, not just hit the top • Reset apical dominance • Refocus energy toward flowering sites Yes — I went harder than initially planned. But: • Genetics are strong • Roots are dialed • Feed is stable • Plants are healthy Healthy plants recover fast. Stressed plants don’t. These girls are clearly the first category. ⸻ 🌿 Plant-specific notes (this update) 🌀 Cosmic Noodles — air-trained plant • Fully defoliated • All metal clamps removed • Structure is now self-supporting • Training phase is complete • She doesn’t need guidance anymore — just space This was a key moment: We built what we needed. Now we step back. 🌿 Sister plant • Also defoliated, fairly deep • Naturally bushy, jungle-style growth • Needed opening to avoid future congestion • Likely will need another light defoliation later — purely structural Same treatment, same feed, same environment — just different expression. ⸻ ⚖️ Nutrition note — slight Cal/Mag signal We did notice very mild Cal/Mag-related signs on some leaves. Nothing alarming, nothing spreading. Important context: • We’re running Terra line, not Coco • Terra Bloom doesn’t supply as much Ca/Mg as Coco A+B • LED + fast metabolism = higher demand We’re adjusting calmly and watching how the plant responds, not reacting emotionally. This week is about observing recovery post-defoliation. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect (and not expect) Expect: • Short recovery window • Faster vertical focus on flowering sites • Improved airflow and light efficiency • Clean structure heading into bulk phase Don’t expect: • A “stall” — these plants are too healthy • A hard flush — we reduce EC gradually, we don’t starve • Identical timelines across plants (12/12 from seed = individuality) ⸻ Final words This diary is not about perfection. It’s about learning, observing, and adjusting with intention. Thank you to: • Everyone following quietly • Everyone asking questions • OGs, newcomers, lovers, skeptics — all of you • GrowDiaries for being the platform that allows open sharing • Sponsors and supporters behind the scenes • And the plants — always the real teachers This week we focused on structure, airflow, and understanding, not fear. Cosmic Noodles has a lot coming. And this was a necessary chapter.

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.

16/03/22 Refill 4L, and add nutrients in recommended proportions (except a bit more Flora Bloom, and a bit less Flora Grow) I set the EC at 1.75 and pH was at 6. 14/03/22 I did a gentle defoliation 12/03/22 Refill 4L, and add nutrients in recommended proportions (except a bit more Flora Bloom, and a bit less Flora Grow) I'll stay at EC 1.65 this time and pH was at 6. Lately I don't have really to adjust pH, may be PH Down 1ml for 12L of bottom tank to drop 6.1 to 5.9 every 4 days.

01/22 day 15 start of week 3. Everything going great. Tomorrow is a feed day. This week is a team week also. 01/23 supplemental feed day gave 10.5 gallons total 01/24 heavy defoliation should be done til harvest

vamos a poner a lavar las raíces de las White Widow y la Mamá mía ya están listas, el sistema Critical sigue en floración la Swiss cheese esta imprable, tiene muy grandes sus pistilos y huele bastante bien

@EliteSeeds👈💪💪💪💪💪

Week showing signs of bloom! >> Has been applied: spraying ALG -A -MIC + trichomizer >> drooping and curled leaves >> washed with 25% solution >> see you next week💎

J'ai effectuer un rinçage ,avant brûlure au pk13-14. Comme mes autre fille on attaquer de brûler .j'ai préférer réagir a temp sur elle

Remember, when I said I was having a little fun, I was not kidding don’t do you see that nice looking Pringles can it took a lot of work, but I’m not gonna leave her in there with her entire life. She’s most likely going to get transplanted when it’s time to put her to flower other than that you see the others. They look good as well. Even the one my friend gave me I brought it back to life and man I thought I was doing something wrong because she has a major purple stem and her genetics I guess.

I have birth to my baby😍 Freshness in every hit. Citrus terps refresh your mind and body. Smells hard, hits harder. 26% THC that’ll blow your taste buds off. The best of both worlds. Perfectly balanced effect, the ideal all-day strain. Extremely resilient. Top-shelf harvests with minimal maintenance! Sour citrus terps. Loads of orange terps make for the most delicious hash and extracts.

The more training you give your plant the bigger and better it will get. Colas forming up and smell already there Also dont worry i just sprayed the buds with just water to refresh them

Hello everyone 👨‍🌾🏻 she grew fast and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves! Preflower has started and its a girl Wish you all a good day and happy growing

NOTES: Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can. The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil. Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants. After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting. Day64 (19.12.) Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average. Day65 (20.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process. Day66 (21.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer. Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would. Day67 (22.12.) Day68 (23.12.) Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before. One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back. Happy holidays everyone! Day69 (24.12.) Day70 (25.12.) I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

28-10-2018 Filling in quickly, nice blend with the Gorilla Glue, managed to make a few clones last week before changing to 12 cycle. hope they can stand the wait until this round finishes in 8 weeks if not i will just re clone again off the clones lol 31-10-2018 Halloween and the girls are wearing their best costumes. GG are really starting to beef up, There are quite a few buds under the screen, would have been a ton better had i started training earlier on. Some new pics of the progress. Enjoy! 1-11-2018 White Widows are showing signs of flowering and the Gorilla Glue are pumping it up

Que pasa familia, vamos con la séptima semana de floración de estas Barcelona Puff feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 25/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color, la flor ya empezó a engordar y a tricomar, por el momento todo bien. Agradecer a Agrobeta por el envío del kit gold series para la temporada 🙏. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

transferred to flowering

I can't believe she is still so happy. She may make it to the finish line. This will be the last week of nutrients. I have no way to flush her so it will be water from here on out.

Had some isus with high humidity had no prob till day 33 of flower but sorted out back on track again dehumidifier rescue lol.o yee forgot to say added new light spider farmer sf4000 sick very happy with mars hydro and spider farmer sf4000 top noch lights .any one who is thinkimg to buy led light very very recomend happy growing
