I trimmed off a bunch of fan leaves, but still not as many as some of the more experienced growers. I started dropping down the Flora Grow and Micro. I hope they finish strong. Pictures are all from the end of week 5 of flower.

The flowers are swelling up, the leaves are getting lighter, I noticed the Glookies are starting to show some purple. This made me a bit excited, because during my previous grows most of the plants were plain green, only rarely with a bit of purple on some flowers. Later in the week, the Sour Stawberry also started to become purple on the top and the big fan leaves started fading into yellow very quickly. I guess it's autumn? The GMO is getting more and more leaf issues, since the others aren't bad off, I assume I just can't get it fed properly. Maybe I will boost the nutes up next week. The smell is still incredible, I am so far happy with the choices in strains that I made.

First week of flowering in the bag, trying out a new deep voice in my videos does it sound sexy? Let me know in the comments. seeing a little bit of stress on the leaves, but nothing major. The new developing growth is green so everything seems to be going well. I’m gonna give it another week and then I’ll defoliate. So far so good. having a little trouble reversing the wrath rock, candy icy cuts. but I’m not worried. I have backups of the mothers and I have backups of those backups so I’ll definitely still be able to take another shot after seeing the results from this grow ….

Hey guys, Been extremely busy with work so the plants were neglected a bit but they are plants and survive. Getting a really nice fade to the end of this grow. I will probably cut the plants down this Sunday or Monday. Big fat colas and a really strong lemon smell going on it’s very overwhelming haha this run has been super easy with the organics and no ph’ing Next post harvest

Hello everyone! well friends !, so she took her final forms! from today it switches to flowering mode 12/12 .. in the diary I will add a week of flowering when it starts blooming and not when the light mode has changed .. I don’t like it when they do it .. it gets confused .. 2 weeks is needed for flowering to begin active after switching to 12 hour mode .. and those growers who add weeks of flowering when switching to 12 hour mode, damn you!)))

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A | Week 4 Building Momentum Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to tell its own story while revealing the subtle genetic differences that make every seed unique. Week 4 has been all about momentum. The explosive growth we witnessed last week has continued, and the entire room is now beginning to transition from a collection of young plants into a true miniature forest. Every morning seems to reveal another noticeable change, with canopies becoming fuller, branches extending further, and the first signs that these plants are preparing for the flowering stretch ahead. One thing that made me smile this week was the environmental reading… 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room decided to have a thing for the number three. 😄 While 33°C is certainly warmer than I’d normally aim for, the elevated humidity has helped keep the plants comfortable, and despite the warmer conditions the entire room continues to respond beautifully. Sometimes plants remind us that they can be a little more forgiving than we give them credit for—as long as every other parameter remains stable. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed One interesting development this week is the variation in PPFD across the room. The lighting itself hasn’t changed dramatically—instead, the plants have. Some phenotypes are simply growing faster than others, naturally moving closer to the LEDs and receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter plants remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that even under identical conditions, every phenotype follows its own timeline. ⸻ Feeding Strategy As the plants continue accelerating, the feeding program has started to evolve alongside them. Throughout the early weeks, the nutrient solution remained around pH 5.8, encouraging rapid nutrient availability while the young root systems established themselves. Now that those roots have colonized much more of each container, the strategy shifts slightly. This week the nutrient solution gradually moved closer to pH 6.1, while EC increased progressively throughout the week, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No bottles were suddenly doubled. No drastic increases were made. Instead, the nutrient ratios were simply nudged upward enough to match the plants’ increasing appetite. The difference is subtle inside the reservoir but very noticeable in how vigorously the plants continue to grow. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also opens access to a broader range of nutrients within the soil, helping the plants take advantage of their now much more established root systems as demand begins increasing. At this stage, the feeding philosophy remains exactly the same: Feed the plant—not the calendar. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A What can I say… This girl has quietly become one of those plants that instantly catches my attention every time I unzip the tent. Last week I mentioned how she had completely outgrown her slightly awkward beginning. This week she has gone one step further. She looks completely at home. Her overall structure is becoming incredibly balanced, with strong lateral branches beginning to establish themselves while the main stem continues pushing upward with confidence. The internodal spacing remains impressively tight, creating a compact architecture that feels both efficient and elegant. Looking from above, the canopy almost arranges itself. Large fan leaves radiate outward like carefully positioned solar panels, leaving the growing tips exposed without requiring any intervention. Every branch seems to know exactly where it wants to go. The new growth is particularly striking. Bright lime-green leaves emerge from the centre packed with energy before gradually darkening as they mature, creating that beautiful contrast that healthy, fast-growing plants often display. One of my favourite observations this week is just how relaxed she looks. Despite the warmer room temperatures and steadily increasing nutrient strength, there are no signs of stress. Leaves remain flat, praying gently toward the light throughout much of the day, while every new node arrives with confidence. She’s no longer simply growing. She’s beginning to express herself. Each passing day reveals a little more of her personality, and so far that personality can be summed up in one word: Consistency. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She isn’t trying to grow the fastest. She’s simply building herself into a beautifully proportioned plant, one node at a time. If she continues along this trajectory, I have a feeling she’s going to become something very special by the time flowering is fully underway. ⸻ Looking Ahead The coming week should mark another important transition. With nutrient demand increasing, roots fully established, and several plants beginning to move naturally into higher PPFD levels, growth is expected to accelerate even further. Over the next week I’ll be paying particular attention to: • Stretch progression as flowering begins to establish itself. • Branch strength and canopy development. • Continued response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared with her sister phenotype. • The first real signs of Blueberry Muffin’s flowering character beginning to emerge. If Week 3 was about proving her potential… Week 4 feels like the week she’s beginning to fulfil it. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every week is another page in the journal, and the adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

START WEEEK Day 98 4/24/22 +With the exception of the cranky girl, the room is exploding with incredible sights and smells. +Lowered ppm just a bit to 800. I guess? that I will decrease to nothing and get prepared for harvest +Kolas are exploding with neon carrot pistols. Very Beautiful +Smell is average, and increasing +light is 12" away from tallest kola and up to 24 for the very shortest. I have 4" of lift left. Should I raise? +It's summer in the South. Temp and Humidity vary greatly, daily. Days in 80's Nights upper 60's. Humidity anywhere from 58% to +Each plant has developed at it's on rate so this week I will continue selective defoliation. +Almost forgot. I am going to try some Epsom salt in an attempt to get the cranky girl to feel a little better. THINKING OUT LOUD ?Cranky girl has been weird from day one. Maybe genetics might be me. I was rough on the girls to start with. She however, was always super green, slow to grow, squatty, huge fan leaves and now (according to growmies) now possibly has a magnesium deficiency. I am critical of myself but I am actually starting to lean toward genetics. Just a note. This was the only plant that I did 0 training to. Just defoliation (light). Nice that I had 3 others to give me backup. ?Need to take a look at some trimming tools on Amazon. Bare Essentials (right :)) THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH MY MOST RECENT GROW QUESTION. AS ALWAYS ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, GOOD OR BAD ARE ALWAYS WELCOME😁 SO... GOING TO TRY 4 DIFFERENT STRAINS ON THIS NEXT RUN. BLACKBERRY MOONROCKS, BLUE COOKIES, BANANNA SHERBERT AND A RE-RUN OF A PLATINUM OG. MIGHT ALSO DO IN SOIL. WHO KNOWS? I will be germinating in just a couple of days.

The thing I love about this strain is how little the largest branches stretch and how much the lower branches come up to the main level. With some diligent training I was able to get probably the most dense and even canopy I’ve ever accomplished. Can’t wait to see how this progresses through flower.

12.9 4th veg week done.. Healthy girls now. Blue fire's showed some signs that root space was running low and also nitrogen def. but got it under control and girls are now in final homes. Blue Fires are in 11L plastic pots and the New's in 16L root pouches. They got used to new homes pretty fast and were growing more the next day moved 👌 No hussle there. This is where sometimes I have burned extra time when messing with trasplanting. Maybe rhizotonic had something to do with this. Using it for the first time now. I mixed my soil 75% soil and 25% coco.. usually it's 50/50 but I like to tweak thing a little to see what's up 😉😎🙏 I topped all girls yesterday. Aiming for 6-8 tops in every plant and gonna insert netting there and also use stakes to part that space. Ok happy growing to everyone and thanks for stopping by! 🙏👽
