First off I believe the strain name is wrong. It should be just FF03 but I’ll need to check with fastbuds. These are photo period test genetics from fastbuds and the FF stands for fast flower. They are supposed to be done in 50-60 days of flowering. I’m going to let them do their thing for a minimum of 40 days just to be sure they don’t have ruderalis. This is a brand new setup I built with floraflex 6” pot pro using coco and I’ll be testing their nutrients out as well. That being said they are about 10 days old but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to get the diary going. Thanks for looking :)

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 5 | The Giant Begins to Wear Her Crown Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite things about documenting every single phenotype individually is watching how differently each plant interprets exactly the same environment. Same room. Same lighting. Same feeding philosophy. Same genetics. Yet every plant develops her own personality. Godfather OG Pheno A has quickly established herself as one of the giants inside the tent, standing proudly above many of her neighbours while beginning the exciting transition into flowering. She’s becoming impossible to ignore. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For those discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than extending the vegetative period before changing the light cycle, every plant has received a consistent 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very first day of life. This allows every phenotype to determine its own natural timing. Instead of deciding when flowering begins… …the plants decide for themselves. That is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire experiment. Although every plant shares the same environment, no two stories have unfolded exactly the same. ⸻ 🌸 The Transition Has Begun This week officially marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower. She’s living in that beautiful transition where vegetative growth hasn’t completely stopped, but flowering has clearly taken over. Fresh white pistils are now appearing throughout the canopy, confirming that reproductive growth is well underway. Those delicate white hairs are the first visible signs of future flowers. Over the coming weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each flowering site develops into what we all hope will become dense, resin-covered colas. It’s one of the most exciting stages of the entire grow. Every day brings noticeable changes. ⸻ 🌿 One of the Giants of the Room Standing at approximately 75 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has become one of the tallest plants in this entire project. Her structure is beautifully balanced. Strong stems. Excellent internodal spacing. Healthy branching. The Low Stress Training carried out during the previous weeks is now beginning to reveal its purpose. By gently bending stems and opening the canopy instead of forcing aggressive structural changes, light is reaching more growing tips while the plant continues developing naturally. Every adjustment made earlier is now beginning to pay dividends. Sometimes patience truly is the best training technique. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Feeding System This phenotype is growing in one of my AutoPot systems. The AutoPot works through a remarkably simple but effective device called the AquaValve. Rather than operating on timers or pumps, the AquaValve automatically refills the tray only after the plant has consumed the available nutrient solution. In other words… The plant decides when she wants another drink. This creates an incredibly stable root environment while reducing fluctuations in moisture and nutrient availability. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also evolved to support the transition. Bloom nutrients have now joined the schedule while maintaining enough vegetative support to fuel the final stretch before the plant focuses entirely on flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues performing exactly as planned. Current averages include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly elevated during this stretch phase to support vigorous growth and healthy transpiration. As flowers begin stacking over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for dense, healthy blooms. Maintaining environmental stability is every bit as important as feeding the plants themselves. Healthy plants are built through consistency. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document her progress from multiple perspectives. Close-up shots highlight the first pistils emerging across the growing tips. Side views reveal her impressive vertical growth and balanced branching. Bird’s-eye views showcase an increasingly even canopy thanks to the weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with controller readings to continue documenting every aspect of this project as accurately as possible. Watching the room evolve week after week is becoming just as rewarding as watching the individual plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More white pistils should appear across every branch, and the first true flower clusters will begin forming as the plant shifts more energy toward reproduction. Training will remain gentle, with only small adjustments made where necessary to maintain an open canopy and maximize light penetration. The real building phase is only just beginning… …and I have a feeling this lady has plenty more to show us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure.

#WEEK21 - HODL Bad news. It's not time yet. still. i think. 😔 And scratch that, i am not harvesting early because of some theoretical schedule / information on the internet. But.. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 😱 Well, trichomes haven't changed a bit again, at least to my perception. Only the top most buds of SMC show a few amber ones, although the plant feels a bit "crunchy" and matured now. Therefore a lot of the lower buds grew fresh calyxes, and a few upper ones, too. Someone was right around here, probably should have removed a few more of the lower buds after stretch. But there's also a good cop: i found out my phone can take rather decent macro shots (though resizing of growdiaries doesnt seem to work well, will put a bit more effort in in the upcoming entry). It's on the edge even to check the color of trichomes. And holy moly, SMC is so photogenic, like big "ooof" 😍. Lively colors all around, frost like a tree on christmas (can you please tell me what to do, when leaves are 100% covered in trichomes, shouldnt be this A+ material was well?). Skywalker on the other hand is the "shy one", however i am sure is going to shine soon. Also very lovely coloration on top buds. And the smell starts to mature as well: Skywalker super fresh lemony, SMC sweet-fruitiness with a touch of coolness - tempting! Forgot CalMag this week. Shouldnt matter at all that close to the end. In fact the tips of some leaves started to turn a bit rusty. Cant believe it has been 10/11 weeks of flowering so far, going to need a break after this run for sure. 😜

I trained them down to be more bushed out and watered with a PH of 6-6.7 and did a weekly water of Fish Shit. The humidity was at 57 then eased into a steady 52 for the rest of the week.

Day 99. Girls are good, even delayed/unmature buds are catching up and i feel like last feed was given already. Should be only water regime from now ... Nothing to add or say.. Fatter, Bigger, Stronger - is theirs target now and slowly they are crawling there ;))))) My cam is still shit, during thirps it made me happy, now when some girls are true beauties - it makes me nervous ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Die letzten 2 Wochen laufen nun. Ich gieße die 3 nur noch mit Wasser. Ich versuche die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur zu senken. Die Blüten sind überall mit Harzdrüsen bedeckt. Sie duften irgendwie appetit anregend 😋

Watering as usual and feeding the ladies nutrients on the same schedule. I may up the nutrient dosage next week as they continue to flower

Very happy with how this lady has performed, amazing quality buds, very sticky and dense flower with a concrete smell that I love so much, which is that kind of fruity sweet flavor that this lady is able to produce, it's been a beautiful journey, I'm gonna enjoy a lot this flowers. Very recomended guys!

They are all showing preflower and chugging along nicely.

Another really wet week The small one on the front right is not in a good shape I tried to add more water and to let it dry more but she didn't change The buds at in the center of the tent are growing crazy It does not smell too much (and I have allergies haha)

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Non presenta carenze e sta fuoriuscendo il colore viola che tanto ricerco nelle varietà, quindi per ora sono pienamente soddisfatto. Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️
