Trinitas Viridis

With gentle hands, I nestled the pink mist seeds into their new homes. Three pots, carefully prepared with rich soil, awaited these future blooms. Two large pots and one slightly smaller one offered ample space for growth. I envision a beautiful display of rich and fat stiky buds. May these seeds thrive and bring joy with every bud.

I use a specialized atomized bottle that generates a nice mist that clouds the area in a good way to pump water down to the soil until it's nice and moist. it's a perfect instrument to avoid heavy waterfall on top of the soil and it's roots.

Today, I set up my Zenni Grow Tent (24x24x36) underneath the storm shelter. It’s a cozy little spot, and while the setup took some creativity, I’m happy with how it turned out. The space feels perfect for this grow, offering privacy and control. Here’s how I put everything together:


---

Unpacking and Assembling the Tent

First, I unpacked the Zenni Grow Tent and assembled the frame. It’s a compact tent, which worked well given the limited space under the storm shelter. After the frame was secure, I fitted the reflective cover tightly and zipped it up. The tent’s reflective interior should help maximize the lighting inside.


---

Adding the Pots

Once the tent was up, I carefully positioned three pots inside. I spaced them out to allow for proper airflow and made sure they were stable on the surface. The pots were already filled with high-quality soil mixed with perlite to improve drainage and aeration.


---

Setting Up the Light

For lighting, I used a small but effective LED light, the kind typically used for cell phones to illuminate photos and videos. I hung the light from the hooks at the top of the tent and positioned it so it would evenly light all three pots. The reflective tent walls should amplify its effectiveness, even though it’s a smaller light.


---

Installing the Heater

Temperature control is crucial in a space like this, so I added a small oscillating heater with a thermostat. I positioned it on the floor of the tent, slightly angled away from the plants to avoid direct heat. The oscillating feature helps distribute warmth evenly, and I set the thermostat to the ideal temperature range to keep the plants cozy without overheating.


---

Inline Duct Fan and Carbon Filter Setup

To ensure proper ventilation and odor control, I installed an inline duct fan connected to a carbon filter. The fan was mounted securely at the top of the tent, with the ducting running through the ventilation port. This setup should help maintain a steady flow of fresh air, remove odors, and keep humidity levels in check. The carbon filter is essential, especially for a stealthy grow like this one.


---

The Final Touches

Once everything was in place, I double-checked the setup:

Pots were stable and positioned for airflow.

The LED light was centered and at the right height.

The heater was running smoothly and oscillating.

The inline fan and carbon filter were properly connected and functional, creating the perfect environment for the plants.

Looking Ahead

It’s exciting to see the tent fully set up and ready to go. This is my first grow in this unique location, and I’m optimistic about how it will perform. The storm shelter offers a quiet, controlled environment, and with the heater, light, and ventilation in place, the plants should thrive.

I’m looking forward to watching this grow develop and will be keeping close notes along the way. Here’s to a successful harvest!

December 26th, 2024

Exciting news! The seeds I planted have started to germinate, marking the official beginning of this grow cycle. Watching the first signs of life emerge is always rewarding, and it's a reminder of how much potential each little seed holds.

On December 26th, I noticed that one of the seeds had germinated. This was about three days after planting, which was right on track with my expectations. By the following day, the other two seeds had sprouted as well, just a day behind the first. It feels like they’re already showing their individuality, which makes this project even more interesting.

The environment in the Zenni Grow Tent seems to be working well so far. The heater is maintaining a stable temperature, and the light is providing consistent illumination. The inline fan and carbon filter are keeping airflow steady, which I believe is helping the seeds sprout healthily.

Now that all three seeds have germinated, I’m feeling optimistic about this grow. The next step is to monitor their early development closely and ensure the conditions in the tent remain perfect for their growth. Here's to the start of something great!

Yesterday I noticed some yellowing on the edge of some of one seedling. but I also notice that the heater got stuck on its direction, so It could've provoked this type of symptom. I will keep an eye on it and see where it goes. All other seedlings are fine

The beauties have suddenly began fattening up on the flower areas as well as they have reacted drasticly (in a positive way) after some minimal pruning. What i've noticed is that the effect of pruning will be far more noticeable and when it comes to auto flowers in comparison to photos. Its obvious that genetics play a significant (if not large) part in the auto side. Small pistles have begun showing up in the flower area and show promising results. time will tell.

They are absolutely beautiful. They're growing so fast. It feels that every day that passes something new is spotted in them. This is something I am very passionate about, and now that I have the ability to fully devote this hobby my attention I can now enjoy it it's truly revel in this beautiful hobby and pastime.

This truly has been a beautiful journey, and I can see how my efforts are yielding their rewards. I don't understand why but it doesn't matter how hard my day's work was at my job, or how terrible my day has been going, but every time I come back home then I open that tent and I look inside all of those worries fade and a smile swoops in... this is when I realized that this is not just a hobby, but a passion, a passion that gives me joy, a sense of wonder and peace. God one day after Cain murdered Able must have said, " you know what? I'm not gonna lie, this game I made is hard. They need to chill the fuck out." and so God made cannabis.

Notes on Experimental Flowering Boost:
After a series of experiments and careful observation, I’ve developed a new approach to plant feeding that seems to provoke noticeable bulk spikes in the flowers. This method involves a specific mix of natural inputs, introduced at key stages during the flowering cycle to maximize nutrient uptake and encourage stronger bud development. While the exact balance is something I’ve fine-tuned through trial and error, the results have been consistent—denser flowers, increased trichome production, and a more pronounced terpene profile.

This isn't a conventional feeding schedule, and the key seems to be in how and when certain elements are introduced rather than just what’s being used. Timing and plant response are critical, and small adjustments make a big difference. Overuse can lead to diminishing returns or stress, so it’s best to start with a light application and monitor closely.

I’m still testing different variations, but so far, this method has proven to be an effective way to push flower production a step further without compromising plant health. If you decide to experiment with something similar, take notes and adjust based on how your plants respond.

no filters hahahahah

I harvested one of the two plants due one of them being far off than I previously thought in comparison to the other. also I wanted to harvest them just when most of the tricomes were cloudy on one of them because the other I want to harvest when I do have at least a good amount of trichomes that are colored amber. The main reason for this is due to the fact that I'm going to cure these two plants very differently from each other. I'm going to water, cure one and dry cure the another (The amber one). More pictures coming soon

Water curing If it's not the, it's one of the most controversial methods of curating your buds. But I'm the kind of man who loves to perform experiments on any method and every method, and therefore this is no exception. I've been watering these buds for about 4 days. Now one more day or 2 more to go And it will be ready.I will let you know how good this method is.

After conducting a five-and-a-half-day water curing process—changing the water daily and ensuring the buds were fully submerged—I proceeded to dry them for forty hours. The most notable and immediate effect of this method was the significant reduction in aroma, with the flower’s scent decreasing by approximately 57% on average. Smaller buds, in particular, saw reductions as high as 68%. The remaining scent was reminiscent of dry grass, which was initially disappointing. However, after resting inside a jar for extended periods, some of the original aroma did return, likely due to the concentration of residual terpenes. That said, this regained scent was not significant enough to be considered fully retained within the flowers, making the overall aromatic experience far less enjoyable than traditional curing methods.

Surprisingly, the potency of the buds was not only preserved but seemed to have slightly increased, with the effects lasting longer than expected. This was contrary to my initial assumption that potency would be drastically diminished, or even completely ruined, by this method. Instead, the cannabinoids appear to have remained intact, potentially benefiting from the removal of excess plant matter and impurities through the water curing process. This result was entirely unexpected, as I had believed that the process would strip away more than just the unwanted elements, significantly weakening the bud’s psychoactive effects. Instead, the experience of consumption proved to be just as strong—if not slightly more so—than before.

Despite these unexpected benefits, water curing undeniably impacts the overall enjoyment of the flower, particularly due to the loss of its natural aroma. For those who prioritize the full sensory experience, including the rich terpenes that contribute to flavor and scent, this method may feel lacking. However, for individuals seeking a fast way to cure buds and achieve a smoother, more immediate experience, water curing does offer practical advantages. It efficiently removes impurities and excess chlorophyll, making the smoke smoother and potentially allowing the effects to hit faster. That being said, the loss of aromatic complexity is a trade-off that significantly alters the experience. While I did not anticipate these results, the method has its place for those prioritizing speed and purity over the full-bodied enjoyment of traditionally cured cannabis.

The final plant is now officially undergoing the traditional curing process! After experimenting with water curing on the previous batches, I’ve decided to finish off this last one the classic way—slow drying and glass jar curing with regular burping.

I’m really looking forward to comparing the two side by side: Water Curing vs. Traditional Curing. From aroma and flavor to potency and overall experience, this will be a full breakdown of the differences I’ve noticed between the methods.

Stay tuned for the final update and full results. This should be interesting.

The harvest has officially been pulled from drying, and I’ve now begun the jarring process—each and every single one of them. I’m happy to report that the entire harvest has filled three of my 28oz mason jars (volume size, not actual weight). After weighing and taring the jars, each one came in at exactly 1.0 oz of flower.

The aroma is incredibly rich and still very much alive. There’s a strong, clear incense-like scent with fruity undertones—specifically a berry-like note that hits immediately when you crack the jar. What’s even more impressive is the persistence of the scent—it clings to your skin, and you’ll still catch a whiff of it even after washing your hands.

Visually, the buds are stunning. Vivid green tones remain throughout, and you can clearly distinguish the flowers from the leaves and stems. So far, when comparing this traditionally cured batch to the water-cured one, the difference is immediate and dramatic—color, scent, and texture are all notably enhanced. Stay tuned for the final update where I’ll break down the full comparison between water curing and traditional curing!
