🇯🇲One Love, Growers! 💚 #weedstr #growstr #plantstr You know, for my entire "youthful" growing career, I relied on mineral nutrients. It was simply the classic, traditional way here where i live. But now, the time has come for a paradigm shift! The thing that drives me now, is: Organics and Living Soil! We are going to see how our girls perform when we pamper them with the true power of nature and regeneration. Under this thread 🧵I’ll be posting updates about the setup. 🌱 Chapter 1: Germination and the Start of Life (November 2025) This transition from mineral to Living Soil is a big deal for me. And every journey starts with the first seed! Here is a quick overview of how our ladies kicked off their life: 7.11.2025-16:20 (4:20 PM): Water Start! Seeds placed into a glass of chlorine-free water, to which I added 1ml of Canna RHIZOTONIC. You should never rush the roots, but this booster gives them the right vibe with vitamines for a strong start! 8.11.2025-17:00 (5:00 PM): First Sink-The seeds sank (a good sign!) but were still without a taproot. They just cracked open, preparing for the big show! I moved them into bowl with paper towels with same water and placed into dark. 9.11.2025-16:00 (4:00 PM): First photo shoot- We got it! The taproots are out and reached approximately 0.6 - 0.8cm! That was the signal. I moved them into pots that I had prepared and treated with 1g of Mycorrhiza Premium before. This ensures the girls have partners underground right from the start – **micro-life is the key!** image

*chapter 2:* *Vegetation* 🐛🪱🍀 *10.11.2025* -Vegetation START! The first *cotyledons* are out! We have officially transitioned into the vegetative phase(W1), and it brings me joy. The Living Soil is starting to work its magic. *11.11.2025* First True Leaf on the Scene-l took another photos today! Beautiful. The first true leafs is already emerging. I have a very good feeling about them-they are strong, green, and full of energy. Go, girls, go! #weedstr
**Chapter 3** **FINAL TRANSPLANTATION** ✊🏻🤞 *16.11.2025*  The girls are entering their second week of veg and we are going to get them into the final big pot. 🥵 It is like moving into your new permanent home; **it’s a big deal.** 🏠 We are transplanting them into soil that was mixed and treated fourteen days before, with my own blend of soils, earthworms, springtails, and dried crushed eggshells + 400g of Herbis living soil starter 4-4-4. Also I added little of leaf mulch. The girls clearly love their new home! They've started to accelerate their growth noticeably, which tells me the Living Soil is totally dialed in. I'm going to increase their watering volume starting in Week 3 to keep up with their demands. It's all up to the soil and worms now. Remember: with Living Soil, we feed the soil, and the soil feeds the plants! **Happy soil=Happy plants** 🌱 Fingers crossed for rapid root development! #weedstr image
**Chapter 4: Root Building is the Foundation** *26.11.2025-Day 16(Week 3)* Yesterday, **November 25th**, officially kicked off Week 3 of Vegetation. That means our girls are today *16 days * into the active veg cycle (measured from the cotyledons on 10.11). **The Morning Droop Mystery Solved:** You'll notice the leaves in the photos are a bit droopy/downcast. Don't worry, this isn't stress or a deficiency—it's just a routine event: 1. Night-Time 🌕 Application: I hit them with their foliar spray (PPM) right before lights out yesterday. Foliar feeds must be applied in the dark to prevent light burn. 2. Lights-On shock⚡️: The pictures were snapped right after the tent lights came on. After a long night, and with the spray still on the leaves, it takes them a little while to "wake up" and lift their “solar panels” back up. They'll be fully standing and stretching within the hour! **A Quick Note on Size vs. Time:** Some people at #weedstr might look at Week 3 and expect bigger plants, but here’s a tip for anyone running an organic system: Don't panic about size in the early stages! **In Living Soil, the plant spends these first few weeks building a massive, resilient root system and linking up with the soil’s microbial life.** 🐛 Hopium for the week 4 🤲🏻🤲🏻

Actually, this was more than just LST because I ended up having to top it as well. #weedstr Anyway, yesterday after work, I messed up the LST, maybe I should have just slept on it and do it today. I could see the results this morning, so I had to redo it immediately.. Since I'm running FastBuds Autoflowers right now, I don't have much room for more stress down the line, so I had to take action right away. It really shows that it's always better to work with a clear, rested mind. The mistake was that I gave the plant too much space between the bend and the last node/tier. When you bend it, you usually want to bend it between the last internodal spaces. But yesterday, after work, like an idiot, I wired it to the second-to-last tier, and not even efficiently. Now that I've redone it, it looks much better. Notice what the small branches/shoots did after the initial bend yesterday. Whenever you disrupt the main stem, you break the plant's 'routine' of having one main stalk; it basically turns into an anarcho-capitalist that does whatever it wants. And the reason you want to bend it at the last node like this is to keep the plant as flat level as possible. All those little branches on the tiers are now starting to become main branches, and they will subsequently be covered in colas. If you didn't keep these main branches level flat with the wires (and later with the netting when they're bigger), each branch would have slightly different lighting during flowering, and only a few of them would reach the so-called sweet spot. See the picture with 80w led, so called sweet spot is between 30-40cm from the led. Feel free to ask G anything if you need to.

One love, growmies #weedstr 🇯🇲💚 So today we have the first day of Week 4(1.12.25) in vegetation, counting from the first cotyledon leaf. The girls have recovered quite well since Thursday (27.11.25) when they were topped and bent, and we are going strong without flipping from the stress. TBH, try putting other autoflowers through that much stress in the middle of Week 3 compared to Fast Buds without flipping into flower 🤲🏻 BIG UP to their genetics. They are really changing the game. What do yall think of the girls, growmies? Any tips? Btw, the fertrometr finally shows the living soil is OK, it took those little rascals long enough to make it, but they did it 🐛 Happy last month of the year fellow people 🇯🇲🤲🏻
🚀 **Quick Vibe Check (Day 25)** Just a quick update today, **growmies**! 💚 It's December 5th, and the girls are cruising into Day 25 of vegetation. What can I say? They look absolutely perfect! 💪 They are beautifully bushy and full of life. Now the focus is just on keeping that canopy nice and level so every tip catches maximum light and we find that sweet spot. Everything is running smoothly, catch you at the next update in week 5. Sending everyone one love and happy growing! 🙏
💣 Entering Veg Week 5! (Explosive Growth Check) 💥 What's up, growmies! Just checking in as we hit the start of Vegetation Week 5! The growth explosion this week has been wild, especially considering the girls aren't showing any pre-flowers signs of flowering yet. WOW They look totally healthy, but I had to step in because they were getting out of control. I installed the the ACI scrog net and gently bent the branches that were outpacing the others just to keep the canopy somewhat level. What do you guys think?? One Love, and happy growing! 🙏
🌸 Flower Power Activated! Entering Week 6 / Flower Week 1 🚀 (Nutrient Update!) What's good, fam! Big news today: We are officially kicking off Week 6 overall and it seems it’s Week 1 of Flowering also! 🎉 The girls finally showed their cards and the first white pre-flowers have officially popped up, giving us the green light to enter the flower phase. I’m stoked to see how fast they stretch now that the flip has happened. They are filling out the net perfectly, and the canopy is looking dense and leveled thanks to the training we did weeks before. However, I clearly messed up my original living soil mix! 🤦‍♂️ I'm seeing signs of a nutrient issue—specifically, some apparent macronutrient excess on the new growth/leaves. To combat this, I added a Floragard Herbi's Living Soil Booster 2+8+4 today to help balance things out. Hopefully, that does the trick! Fingers crossed for a healthy stretch and massive buds! One Love & Happy Harvesting! 💚
🌿 The Final Symphony: BPP Auto Recap & Update Nostr growmies, we still not done yet with this BPP auto 😻🤤 I giving them like 2 more weeks prob. Here some updates I’m trying to do. Especially my favorite one is trying to stimulate them with songs. Especially this week I’m trying B.Smetana-Vltava (check the video!). Since we are nearing the finish line, let’s take a look back at how we got here—the journey from the first pistils to these massive, frost-covered colas. ⏳ The Journey: From Flower Week 2 to Now • Flower Week 2-3 (The Stretch & Structure): The "Banana" girls started their explosive stretch. I spent most of this time tucking leaves under the Scrog net and ensuring a level canopy. The first signs of trichomes appeared, and the smell of sweet tropical fruit started to fill the air. • Flower Week 4 (The Frost Explosion): This was the turning point. The resin production went into overdrive. I focused on maintaining the living soil biology, keeping the microbes happy with organic top-dresses. The stacking of the buds became much more apparent. • Flower Week 5-6 (Defoliation & Stress Management): Things got crowded! I had to perform a heavy defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. I also had to raise the entire tent setup to avoid light stress (the "tacoing" on the upper leaves). The "Autumn Fade" began, showing beautiful yellow hues as the plants started pulling nutrients from the fan leaves. • Flower Week 7 - Current (The Smetana Era): Now, it’s all about ripening and density. The buds are rock hard, the aroma is gassy/fruity, and the trichomes are mostly cloudy. Introducing Bedřich Smetana’s "Vltava" every morning has added a whole new vibe to the grow. There’s something special about watching these organic monsters bask in classical music as they prepare for the harvest. More info about this run on
