Defoliation and supercrop a day before 24 hours of darkness. 12/12 following. Flip @ wee6 day1 from seed

seeds: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea → standouts / "otherworldly" These are clearly your current stars — better structure, resin, and overall quality than most of the others you've tried. Auto Flowers: Humboldt Seed Company — best autos you've grown. Extremely resinous, especially the OG Triploid. Top tier for autos. Fast Buds — very close second. Super fast, nice flavors, reliable. You like them a lot but note they're in a different class (not fair to directly compare to Humboldt). Why RQS Strains Underperformed The 7/10 rating and "needed a lot of power to switch to flower" comment is classic for some RQS genetics, especially certain autos or hybrids. Possible reasons: Genetics: Some RQS lines are finicky about light schedules or have slower/more reluctant flowering responses. Mike Tyson 2.0 and Corkscrew apparently needed the 12/12 flip to finally push. Light/Environment: With five tents running, light penetration, spectrum, or intensity might not have been ideal for these particular strains. Autos can be sensitive to stress during the transition. Nutrient response: They may have needed more phosphorus/potassium or different ratios to bulk up properly. The fact that you had to force Corkscrew into 12/12 at week 20 and it's now only "OK" suggests it was a slower or lower-yielding pheno for your conditions. Strong Performers Brothers Grimm → These sound like the real winners in your tent right now. Brothers Grimm has a reputation for unique, high-quality landrace-influenced genetics with excellent resin and flavor profiles. "Otherworldly better" is high praise — they clearly thrive in your setup. Humboldt Seed Company autos → Excellent choice for resin production. OG Triploid is a standout for trichome density. Fast Buds → Reliable, fast, flavorful — a safe, consistent auto line. Recommendations Going Forward Double down on what works: Keep running more Brothers Grimm (especially the ones you loved). Stick with Humboldt for autos when you want maximum resin. Fast Buds for speed and flavor. 3/30 4am Pink Kush CBD is SLOW.... she never really recovered from early problems, I LOVE this strain, smoke and smell are 10/10. I blew it up early from problems that are NOT MY FAULT. so there. 4/1 12pm We're gonna need a bigger TENT!!!💐🌼Humboldt Seed company email today...Im doing this!!! https://californiahempseeds.com/garden-seeds/ 4/3 2:17AM BUSY NIGHT working on playing with colors, im pretty sure I smoked myself retarded...

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 6 | Quiet Confidence Begins to Bloom Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Growing multiple phenotypes side by side is one of my favourite parts of this project because every week nature reminds us that there is no such thing as a "correct" way for a plant to grow. Pheno B has chosen a completely different rhythm from her sister. While Pheno A stretches toward the ceiling with long internodes and a very expressive narrow-leaf structure, this lady prefers patience. She's shorter, more compact, and slightly behind in her overall flowering development, yet she's thriving under exactly the same conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same nutrients. Same watering. Same training. The only thing that's different is the genetics expressing themselves in their own unique way. And that's exactly why phenotype hunting is so fascinating. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Journey For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! Every plant in this project has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day the seeds germinated. Rather than extending the vegetative stage, this method allows every phenotype to reveal its natural growth habits much earlier, making it easier to compare structure, stretch, flowering speed, and overall efficiency. Watching sisters grow into completely different plants while sharing the exact same environment is one of the biggest rewards of this experiment. Pheno B is proving that slower doesn't mean weaker—it simply means different. 🌿 A Compact Personality Standing at around 69 cm, she's noticeably shorter than her sister, but she's beginning to develop a personality all her own. Her internodes remain tighter. Her branching is beautifully balanced. The canopy is naturally organised, giving every future flower plenty of access to light without requiring much intervention. The overall impression is of a plant that's taking her time, investing in structure before committing fully to flower production. The first pistils are now multiplying across every growing tip, and although she's still stretching slightly, it's clear that flowering has become her main priority. Sometimes genetics prefer to build slowly before rewarding us later. This may very well be one of those plants. 🌸 Flower Production Is Taking Over This week marks an important shift. The explosive vegetative growth is beginning to slow, while clusters of fresh white pistils continue appearing across every branch. Instead of producing dramatic vertical growth, she's now directing more of her energy toward building the framework that will eventually support her flowers. Watching this transition happen is always exciting because it's the point where each phenotype begins revealing how it intends to build its harvest. Every week, her own personality becomes a little clearer. 🍃 Gentle Training, Natural Development Training continues to be intentionally minimal. Low Stress Training performed earlier in the grow has already created a balanced structure, so this week only occasional leaf tucking was needed to keep developing flower sites exposed. Rather than removing healthy leaves, I prefer allowing them to continue acting as efficient solar panels while simply repositioning them whenever necessary. Healthy leaves mean more energy. More energy means stronger flowers. Sometimes the best decision is knowing when to leave the plant alone. 💧 Feeding the Transition Into Bloom As with the rest of the room, Pheno B is now receiving a flowering-focused feeding program while still supporting the final stages of stretch. This week's nutrient schedule includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick This week also introduces one of my favourite bloom additives: Green Sensation. Rather than simply boosting phosphorus and potassium, Green Sensation is designed as a complete flowering enhancer, supporting flower development, nutrient efficiency, resin production, and overall plant vitality during the final weeks of bloom. I like introducing it gradually as the plants begin committing fully to flowering, allowing them to transition naturally while preparing for the heavier bud-building phase that's still to come. So far, she's responding beautifully. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Every phenotype in this room continues sharing the exact same environmental conditions, allowing genetics—not environmental fluctuations—to tell the story. Current conditions include: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Consistency remains one of the most valuable tools in any grow room. When the environment stays stable, the plants can dedicate their energy to growing instead of constantly adapting. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality that's beginning to emerge. The full-plant portraits showcase a compact, balanced structure with excellent branch spacing and a strong central leader that's quietly taking command of the canopy. The close-ups reveal fresh clusters of white pistils forming at nearly every growing tip, signalling that flowering is now well underway. One detail I particularly enjoy is how organised her architecture feels. Nothing appears forced. Every branch has found its place naturally, creating a canopy that's both easy to manage and full of future potential. She's not trying to compete with her sister. She's simply becoming herself. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so rewarding. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks I expect Pheno B to continue slowing her vertical growth while shifting more and more energy into flower production. If her current structure is any indication, she could develop into one of those wonderfully manageable plants that quietly surprises everyone at harvest with dense, beautifully stacked colas. Every week her confidence grows a little more. Now it's time to watch those flowers do the same. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Watching two sisters grow side by side, sharing the exact same environment while expressing completely different personalities, continues to remind me why growing from seed never stops being exciting. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, inspire one another, and document every stage of their journeys. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light powering every day of this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where each phenotype can express its full genetic potential. And finally, growers love to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, and joining me on this adventure. Every phenotype has its own story. Pheno B may be telling hers a little more quietly... ...but she's making sure it's worth listening to. Growers Love 💚🌿

Day 15 - Girls are looking healthy, they are short as of now and I like it (:

As you can see I chopped both Gorilla Cookies. The humidity in the tent got a bit too high and I didn’t want to provoke mold. So I decided to chop and trichomes were looking good. I absolutely love their smell. Especially freshly after chop it smells like chocolate cookies. I will update with final results once both are dried and cured. The Mango smile does now have enough space and light to ripen and produce some nice buds. The smell was first really like mango but over the last week it changed more into a bit more cheesy direction. I’ve got some problems with lightburn / bleaching on the upper growth as she got too tall and I cant move the lights further up. But so far nothing too bad I guess. Despite that she is looking great and I can‘t wait to see how she will look like in a few weeks.

Hey guys everything is going great with these ladies all 6 germinated and popped up in 3 days after planting 1 of the six shooters is a lot smaller than its sisters so I've order LEMON PIE from FASTBUDS should be here tomorrow to take its place and I'm going to move the six shooter outside so if you would like to see its journey comment and like bellow ⤵️ The only thing I wish I did differently would of been starting these girls under a cfl or a cheap led to stop stretching but lesson learned if anyone has any question's please comment and thank-you all for your support ✌️

Missed a week because spider mites entered the party but we were quicker to act and shut the show down, lucky timing to say the least... dried the flower out in a cardboard box linked upto the bay6 grow tent. Took 7 days to dry properly since I left it in the tent beforehand for 6 days with no water... had a whopping weigh in at 180 grams!! Was shocked to say the least, as it was my first grow personally (but I have watched and cut with other people's grows).. all in jars burping process now. The banana smell is massively overpowering. I can't wait until its fully cured as it's only going get more potent..

02/05 day 29 flower and holy shit things are popping. The smells are strong of tropical fruit punch on the run when I open the tent it smells of over ripe or slightly fermented fruit yummy. Stacking and filling out awesome! They got water and fed today.

I'm really digging the Chem OG, squat plants with those trademark thick thick thick indica leaves, clearly it's gonna be a heavy smoke lol Wasnt able to get the juices flowing this week, hopefully next week i'll get the smart protein into feed. Started training some of these, did two more defoliations (total of three light defos so far) ... and then flipped them 4 days ago. the f-ing landlord has been attempting to enter the lab according to my security cameras lol, motherfucker !!!! anyway i have to pack up the lab, hopefully i'll be able to complete the grow cycle , but for sure i'll have to move the grow op ... that's my problem, sure but it also means that i'll have to wait in order to set up my perpetual cycle... and of course i cant really take cuttings if i'm moving the lab... why must people be so curious? really wish there would be at least a bit more tolerance around this hobby just so i can sleep peacefully at night... in the mean time , I lowered my lights to 22cm, i heard from someone (forgot who) that it's a good thing to get the lights closer when you flip so that the plant gets that extra energy for the stretch. I'll let know how that works out ! Any comments or suggestions are welcome , veg is over so it's gonna get interesting - drop me a message if you want ! that's it 🚀

06/01(85) - I've decided to flower for a little longer, i have cut back all the large fan leaves for this final stretch. some of the side buds are getting heavy and almost as big as the main colas. 07/01(86) - I am just dyeing to harvest her but will hold off a little longer, included a video to get a scale. I've been massively impressed by this strain so far. leaves are still a dark green 08/01(87) - This morning at 8am she has been banished to darkness, will check on in 24 hours but expecting to go 48 hours. gave last plain feed yesterday and pot is still heavy so no more water. hoping to harvest on day 89/90 (sorry for mass picture dump) 09/01(88) - Completed 24hr of darkness and checked buds for mold. water has now been used up and pot is light. Noticed the smell is easier to distinguish. going to leave for another day as I am waiting for some sieves/gloves/trimmers before I harvest. 10/01(89) - Checked this morning at 8am and the COCO was bone dry. I have now cut her down at 4pm and weight was 401g but that with stems and leaves straight from cutting (might weigh tomorrow once trimmed). I have began the trimming but have to do it in parts due to time restraints. Quick One (81 days) is now back inside the tent but is still too big. will see if its worth keeping in the next week How do others check wet weight?? I will be completing a harvest page in a few days once I have fully trimmed and dried to get final yield before curing.

I had to give the first, watering in the week of just water. To flush some nutrients that may have still been in the soil. Then today 23.08 gave the Alien plants some nutes. The blueberry plants, got 1,5 litre water each with some molasses and Epsom slats.

Settimana della Distruzione! Tanto training per le nostre Pies, che sicuramente ripagherà alla fine del ciclo 💪 Dopo 25 giorni iniziano a presentarsi anche i primi pistilli dai nodi, quindi a breve avremo già i segni di sviluppo floreale. Nel frattempo aspettiamo l'arrivo della nuova Spider Farmer SF4000 per avere una fioritura esplosiva!

We can notice more fat colas since i opend plant structure. Temperature is lower this week, so i had to water with 8l per day, despite 10l as were usual. Branches are full of hairs, and flowers are starting to grow. As you can see plant suffered smooth nutrient burn, but she is not affected, this was like 1-2 weeks ago, i think i gave her too much TopBloom, then i lowered dosis to 2ml/l + BioGrow, but yesterday watered with TB 4ml/l and she looks happy. ---

Los cogollos empiezan a engordar y los principales empiezan a pesar y las ramas se retuercen y doblan, nada que no se pueda arreglar con cuerda. Olor bastante fuerte, mucha resina pegajosa en los cogollos.

Hey everyone 🤗. A lot has happened this week ☺️. Not surprised that the plants look so extremely dark, is that because I sprayed them with neem oil as a preventive measure , because I discovered a very young trip on a plant. This annoys me extremely, because the attachment room is very clean and neither shoes nor dirty clothes come in when you enter the room 😩. But since I had the problem in most cases years ago, I am very confident that I will get the problem under control very quickly 😃. Otherwise, everything is developing very well as usual 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😃. You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

They are getting fatter each day, as you can probably notice one of them is showing real signs of stress with brown spots and dead yellow leafs. I am adding Calmag this week and making sure Ph is set, will most likely only water them and add calmag. I think next week will be the flush and then harvest. Still trying to battle humidity, hopefully I get a dehumidifier this weekend and manage to reduce it a bit. Hopefully no mold -_-

wow

06/11/20 - New arrivals this week. Firstly a new InkBird with dual timer settings so I can get it cooler at night - going to get some beautiful colours this run. Also have a new Raspberry Pi to monitor remotely and take time lapses! And last but by no means least - Fred, Guardian of the Ganja! 07/11/20 - Slight defoliation getting them ready for the flip. 08/11/20 - They've bounced back and are ready for the flip!

Not much for this week to report. I was hoping to harvest it in 7-8 weeks of flowering but I dont see it happening. By the look of it in the end of 6th flowering week it will need 3 or more weeks. Almost all pistils are still white but the buds are getting fatter so will be worth the wait.

Primera semana de flora a 12/12h.
