1/26: -Lemon auto: I was THIS close to doing a partial harvest today. I'm opting to wait a couple more days, and then reassess. The trichomes somehow look less cloudy, but I'm unsure if that's related to the light on my microscope? Buds are looking delightful, smell keeps getting better. Overall, super impressed with this freebie seed. -Northern light: still doing it's thing. My overall expectations are low for this plant. Honestly, it's my 4th attempt growing this particular strain.. and I've likely done everything wrong. However, my other plant has giving me a newfound confidence. I will figure out this plants love language, even if it takes me several more grows ๐Ÿ˜‚ 1/29: -Lemon auto: harvested! I opted to keep a fair amount of stem since she looked a little dry and I didnt want to expedite the drying process. Will update weight before I put in jars to cure. -Northern lights: Bushiness got out of control again so I did a fairly heavy defoliation. Buds are fattening up slowly, but they overall seem like they're going to be thin and possibly somewhat airy. Remaining cautiously optimistic.

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Little Unicorn Has Gone Full Auto Mode Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... I think Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially stopped caring about what anybody else in this room is doing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's in full auto mode. And honestly? I'm absolutely loving it. She's growing. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing some beautiful flower formation. And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm. At this point, I'm not even trying to guess what she's going to do next. I'm just watching. Because every time I think I understand this girl... she does something else. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She's definitely one of the more interesting personalities in the room. And this week? She's looking absolutely beautiful. So let's give this little unicorn the spotlight she deserves. ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ FULL AUTO MODE ACTIVATED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I know... technically she's an autoflower. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But watching all these different cultivars under the same 12/12-from-seed environment has created one of the funniest parts of this entire experiment. At this point, I honestly don't know which ones are behaving like autos... and which ones are behaving like photoperiods. The photoperiods are behaving like autos. The autos are behaving like photoperiods. And some of them seem to have decided: "Why don't we just do whatever the hell we want?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Frosted Guava Pheno A definitely belongs in that last category. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. This is exactly why I love the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can give them the same stage. We can give them the same lighting. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same schedule. And then... the genetics start writing their own story. And this girl has definitely picked her own chapter. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWER FORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the first thing that catches my eye this week. The flower formation. It's beautiful. The structures are becoming more substantial. The individual flowers are developing beautifully. And the overall plant is starting to carry some serious presence. We're past the point where I'm simply looking for flowering sites. They're here. They're established. They're building. And now I'm watching what they're becoming. That's one of my favourite stages of the entire run. The plant has already told us: "I'm flowering." Now she's starting to tell us: "Look what I'm building." And Frosted Guava is giving us plenty to look at. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš–๏ธ THIS GIRL IS HEAVY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think this deserves its own section. Because she's heavy. Really heavy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ You can see it in the way the plant carries itself. There is a substantial amount of flower developing throughout her structure, and she's definitely becoming one of those girls where you start looking at the branches a little differently. Not because there's a problem. Quite the opposite. It's because she's built something worth carrying. The plant is putting her energy into flower development and stacking, and the result is becoming increasingly impressive. She's got weight. She's got structure. She's got flowers everywhere. And she's definitely not finished. That's the part that makes me curious. Because if she's already carrying this much... where does she decide to take it from here? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy letting her answer that question herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ THE LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL HERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nickname isn't going anywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Frosted Guava Pheno A still has that little something that makes her different. The flower structures. The way she's developing. The little peculiarities. The overall personality. She's not just another plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And that's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't necessarily know what you're going to get from a name. You can have expectations. You can have descriptions. You can have breeder information. But then you put the plant into your own environment... and she tells you who she actually is. This girl is telling us: "I'm going to be beautiful, I'm going to be heavy, and I'm going to do things my way." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š Fair enough, girl. We're listening. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And underneath all that development... the frost continues to catch the eye. The flowers are increasingly detailed. The surfaces are becoming more textured. The resin-covered areas are becoming more obvious. And once the camera gets close? That's when the fun really starts. ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ From across the room, she's a beautiful flowering plant. From a few centimetres away... she becomes another world. Pistils. Trichomes. Flower structure. Little details. Textures. And all those tiny things that disappear when you're simply looking at the whole plant. That's why I love photographing this stage. The plant is changing every week. And the camera lets us freeze those changes in time. Frosted Guava is giving us plenty of moments worth freezing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ DEEP GREEN & BEAUTIFUL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And let's not forget that beautiful foliage. That deep green remains one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. It gives the plant so much visual depth. The darker foliage creates contrast against the developing flowers. And then you add the frost... and suddenly you've got this incredibly photogenic combination. Deep green. Developing flowers. Bright pistils. Frost. Texture. And those peculiar little floral structures that make her look like the unicorn she has become. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’šโ„๏ธ She's not trying to look like anybody else. And that's exactly how it should be. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM. MORE PHOTONS. SAME GIRL. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting environment has received the same upgrade as the rest of the room. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available PPFD was higher than our target. So rather than simply running everything flat out, we've reduced the output to around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug This gives us approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Frosted Guava? She's receiving the same photons as everyone else. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded environment. Yet... look at what she's doing with it. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. The photons are there. She's deciding what to do with them. And apparently... she has plans. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE 8ร—8 ARTIFICIAL SUN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is still one of the things I find most fascinating about the project. We have created one big artificial sun. And now we're watching twelve different genetic personalities interpret it. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some move quickly. Some take their time. Some become extremely frosty. Some build huge flowers. Some create strange structures. And some... become Frosted Guava. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. And this little unicorn is putting on a pretty damn good show. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME PROGRAM, NEW LEVEL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional program has also been updated across the room. Terra Bloom has increased slightly: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L with the rest of the flowering program remaining: ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current readings are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... Frosted Guava is receiving the same overall program as everybody else. No special recipe. No special treatment. No attempt to force her into another phenotype. We're simply giving her the same opportunity... and watching what she does with it. And she's responding beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 โ€“ CURRENT CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room is currently running around: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 11 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h The environment remains consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been slightly increased. And the plants are continuing to show us how differently they interpret the same world. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ SHE'S STACKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is where I keep coming back. The stacking. There is something extremely satisfying about seeing the flowers begin to build on themselves. You can look at a single branch and see multiple developing flower structures. Then you look at another. And another. And suddenly you realize how much of the plant is participating. She's not putting everything into one isolated point. She's building throughout her structure. And as those flowers gain more presence, the entire plant starts to look heavier. More substantial. More mature. And honestly... I really like what I'm seeing. ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE WANTS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This might actually be my favourite part of her story. She's doing what the fuck she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sorry, but... she is. We're here. We're watching. We're providing. We're documenting. And Frosted Guava is basically saying: "Thanks for the support. I'll take it from here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And you know what? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because the best part of growing isn't always controlling the plant. Sometimes it's watching the plant reveal itself. Sometimes the most interesting thing you can do is step back and let genetics speak. And this girl has plenty to say. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S MOVING BEAUTIFULLY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ She's not necessarily trying to win some imaginary race. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. The flowers are progressing. The structure is developing. The plant is becoming heavier. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And the whole thing is starting to come together. We're still not at the finish line. Far from it. So I'm not going to start pretending we know exactly where she'll end. We don't. And that's the fun part. We're watching. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. Flower by flower. And Frosted Guava is writing her own story in real time. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA HAS A BUSY WEEK AHEAD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I already know what's going to happen. I'm going to photograph the whole plant. Then a branch. Then a flower. Then another. Then I'll see something interesting. Then I'll move closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And suddenly I've spent twenty minutes photographing one cola. But that's okay. Because this stage deserves that attention. There is so much detail developing. The flower structures. The stacking. The resin. The pistils. The textures. The little peculiarities. And all those things make each photograph another little piece of the diary. We're not just recording the final result. We're recording the journey. And Frosted Guava is giving us a very interesting journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ THE AUTO WORLD IS GETTING CONFUSING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This deserves another mention because it's honestly one of the funniest observations from this entire run. We're now looking at another autoflower... under the exact same 12/12-from-seed environment... and she's behaving like she belongs here perfectly. Meanwhile, some of the photoperiods are behaving like they're autos. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... which is which? Honestly? Sometimes I don't know anymore. And I think that's one of the coolest things about this experiment. The labels tell us what the genetics are. The plants tell us how they're actually expressing themselves in this particular environment. And Frosted Guava? She's clearly comfortable with the arrangement. She's not complaining. She's not asking for a different schedule. She's just growing. And growing beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ HEAVY GIRL, BEAUTIFUL GIRL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plenty of plants in this room that have caught my attention. But Frosted Guava has something special. She's becoming heavy. She's becoming increasingly substantial. And she's doing it while maintaining that beautiful personality that we've been watching since the beginning. The structure is interesting. The flowers are beautiful. The plant has presence. And now she's reaching that point where you start wondering just how much more she can build. I'm curious. Very curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ But I'm not rushing her. She's got her own clock. And I'm happy to let her use it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ My questions have changed again. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to flower. She's clearly flowering. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to build flowers. She's clearly building them. Now I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ How much more will the flowers stack? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will she carry? โ„๏ธ How much more resin will develop? ๐Ÿฆ„ Will those unusual floral structures continue? ๐ŸŒฟ How will the overall plant mature from here? And perhaps the biggest question: Where the hell is this little unicorn going? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ I honestly don't know. And I love that. Because if I already knew the answer... what would be the fun in watching? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š NO NEED TO FORCE THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This girl doesn't need us to rewrite her. She doesn't need us to turn her into another phenotype. She doesn't need us to make her behave differently. She's healthy. She's developing. She's building. She's beautiful. So we're going to let her continue. The grower provides the environment. The plant does the growing. The camera documents the journey. And everybody gets to enjoy the show. That's the philosophy. And Frosted Guava is making it very easy to follow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ LET THE UNICORN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So here we are. Week 11. Frosted Guava Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still green. Still frosty. Still peculiar. Still stacking. Still getting heavier. Still doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š She's another one of those girls where I walk into the room and immediately notice her. Not because she's screaming. Not because she's demanding. But because she has personality. And now... she's becoming a seriously heavy flowering plant. That's a combination I really like. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the weirdness. Let's appreciate the unicorn. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธโœจ Because honestly?

There is plenty of road ahead. And I'm genuinely curious about what the next chapters will look like. Will the flowers continue stacking? Will she continue getting heavier? Will the unusual floral structures become even more pronounced? Will the frost keep building? How will the plant look when she finally decides she's done? I don't know. And that's exactly why I'm keeping the camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ We'll let her tell us. No rushing. No forcing. Just watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week.

A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the lighting and, especially, for the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that allowed us to expand the lighting capability of the room. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what these girls are doing this week. It genuinely means a lot. And Frosted Guava? Well... she's still doing what Frosted Guava does. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more interesting. And she's doing it completely in her own way. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š So yes... let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's see where this beautiful, heavy little unicorn decides to take us. Because she's clearly not finished yet. And I, for one, am very curious to see what she has planned next. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„โœจ

5/23/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Flower (Day 110 overall) (Day 49 of Flower) There was a couple of small super small sucker buds on the lower stocks that needed to be cleaned off but that was it. Just watching them Flower!! 5/24/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Flower (Day 111 overall) Tucked a few fan leaves below lower buds but didn't see any blatant offenders that needed to be removed. I typically do start my checks in Week 8 but since this is a new strain I decided to go ahead and do a Trichome check just to see what was what.. Just as I thought nothing but clear glassy Trichomes. I will check again in one week.... 5/25/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Flower (Day 112 overall) Just letting them grow today!! Smell is getting stronger I would say it is a hint of Pine and a heavier fruity smell. 5/26/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Flower (Day 113 overall) I did Nothing but took some pics and I enjoyed it!!!! It is nice to be able to just sit back and watch them on auto pilot.. :-) Tomorrow Water Change Day!! 5/27/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Flower (Day 114 overall) I admit it.. I had to defoliate a little bit.. I looked in while changing the water today and there were just a couple blatant offenders blocking the light from lower bud sites and those leaves they just had to go. Other than that I changed the water and this week is where I drop everything and start preparing them for this last phase of the grow. Loving a few of these buds they are starting to beef out very nicely. I added 36 gallons Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 166Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 70.1 Tent Temp= 76 Humidity =64 ** I have two dehumidifiers running on Ink bird controllers to try and keep the humidity down, In late in flower I like to keep the humidity above 45 but below 60. 5/28/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Flower (Day 115 overall) Opened the back of the tent today and boy did she need some defoliation love in the back. Other than that I took off a few little sucker buds trying to form. I did start to setup my Dry space as well as did a Trichome Check today and the brown tips are coming in nicely. 5/29/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Flower (Day 116 overall) Found a few baby sucker buds trying to form so I removed them. Other than that I am enjoying watching her mature. I also started my Reverse of the Clone I took 6 weeks ago in Apr from #3. I am uploading footage of the reversing process for your viewing pleasure.

Hello Growers and Tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ Finally got that transpant done. Added a bit of root juice to help out the transplant. Won't be adding nutes until next week, directly bloom nutes.. Took waaaay to long to transplant. They didn't get any growth becuase of the bad weather these past weeks. Very bummed out about that. Two of the are already in prefower.. the tiniest i hope grows a bit more.. can't really ask for much more given the bad weather and that they're autos.. I'll for sure be doing a re run with this strain with better stable conditions. Take care out there! One love!

Day 62, watering with pure water + enzymes until harvest. I found a great pheno with a mandarin slushie aroma, while the others smell like gas with light citrus notes

Sounds like another great strain to grow, 27% T.H.C., up to 600 grams per square metre, 70% indica & around 7 weeks of flowering. Plan is to mainline her currently week 2 day 9 of veg, started her straight into rock wool & sprouted in a few days. Started her on nutrients after a few days at 0.75ml per litre & increased to 2ml per litre start of week 2 & planted into final home, 15 litre pro pot going great.

Well it's dry and cureing in jars. I ended up with 78 grams of dry sticky buds. Growing this cultivar was a breeze! I mailined her for 8 main kola's and I would say that it was a success. I did however end up with more larf than I would have liked, but I'll be using that for fresh flower rosin in my Rosineer press. This particular pheno did not like her nutrients above a mild strength at all !!! I did flush her 3 times during her life and with good results. The first was to clean and build up of veg nutrients , primarily nitrogen. And the other two times were during flower. I wanted a good transition into flower. I've had a bad habit of thinking that a super dark green plant is what I want in flower. All in all she was a delight to grow. Not to finicky and a forgiving strain imo.

This week we will see the colas and buds really dense up. We are about 2 weeks away from harvest now. Next week I will start my flush.

********** Week 2 of flower, Days 8 to 14 - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 *********** It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started plus we added new supplemental nutrients to the feed as well. These girls are starting to push out some frost now as well. Overall, they are a little more squat than the other girls in the same tent but these girls are looking awesome. Buds are setting and starting to stack more as well๐Ÿ˜ƒ Pretty solid growth and bud sites for week 2 flower. Her leaf tips have been up and she is happy........she is happy all the time other than the first half hour of waking up๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘ Very nice little girls to grow so far. The branching is certainly a little more lateral/horizontal than other strains I have grown. Could be that I was a little more aggressive with topping and tying down and they simply didnโ€™t need it. She is not a long lanky strain and is making nice little bush shapes. She wonโ€™t have many colas but should be thick guys. C471 should be fewer and thicker while C472 will have a couple more colas but likely the main ones wonโ€™t be as thick as C471.......time will tell๐Ÿง On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Cream 471 was worse off the Gorilla Girl 4 with her cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didnโ€™t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low๐Ÿ˜ข Coming back though now and when she was tied together and looked after she is bouncing back, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘ Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves๐Ÿ˜€ because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error๐Ÿ˜ก Seems to have worked out pretty well though and will keep our fingers crossed that the end result will be a frostier girl๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿคž Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement. 2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road. IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites. Little more detail........ Sept 26/20, Day 8 - Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days - 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml - 830ppm and 5.7pH - will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks Sept 27/20, Day 9 - 2nd SCROG layer added. Sept 28/20, Day 10 - more microbes today - 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml - 290ppm and 6.3pH - pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well. - Good amount of runoff today. Sept 30/20, Day 12 - Heavier feeding today - 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml. - repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......was not sure how this girl will work out. Crack is fairly substantial. - Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound. - Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top. Oct 1/20, Day 13 - Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking. - 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml - 665ppm and 5.9pH - IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls. That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be done by the end of week 9, about 7 more weeks. Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘ Nice strain Sweet Seeds.......these girls have my curiosity and canโ€™t wait for the smells to start more as well!!!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ Im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit werden etwas รคltere Samen als frรผhes Outdoorprojekt auf dem Balkon gestartet. Genutzt wird ein gebrauchtes Hochbeet, dass ich fรผr einen feuchten Hรคndedruck รผber Ebay Kleinanzeigen erworben habe. 50l biobizz lightmix + der Rest meines รคlteren flo Dรผngers haben dort drinnen Platz gefunden. Den Boden habe ich mit tonkugeln ausgestattet. Nematoden. wurden dem Boden hinzugefรผgt. Ist ein frรผher Start, und ich bin gespannt ob die Samen รผberhaupt kommen. Alternativ hab ich immer noch eine crit (da weiรŸ ich dass sie klein bleibt) und die Baby Boom von kannabia. Der Wunsch ist, dass die Pflanzen nicht hรถher als 50-60 cm werden. Bin gespannt ob mir das mit 50l Substrat gelingt. Die Genetik sollte allerdings auch etwas kleiner bleiben. Das Lernen steht dieses Mal wieder erneut im Fokus und nicht das Ergebnis. 24. Mรคrz Ein Samen hat ordentlich gekeimt. Habe in direkt in das Substrat gesetzt. Ein Samen hat nur eine Miniwurzel entwickelt. Habe sie dennoch eingepflanzt. Kann sein dass es zu frรผh war but we will see. Der dritte Samen blieb unverรคndert und er bleibt in der Tรผte. Er bekommt noch ein paar Tage, notfalls wird er ersetzt. Weiteres kleines Update: habe das eBay-Kleinanzeigen setup um wasserdichte led streifen fรผr 10โ‚ฌ von Amazon erweitert. Damit sollte ich verhindern kรถnnen dass mir die Sรคmlinge gailen falls die Sonne nicht wie gewรผncht mitmacht. Na dann halt lila ๐Ÿ˜…Aber jetzt erstmal hoffen das zumindestens 2/3 kommen. 26. Mรคrz trotz entspannten 9 grad nachts in der Box hat es die erste creamatic an die Oberflรคche geschafft. Die zweite lรคsst noch auf sich warten, der dritte Samen ist nun minimalistisch in der Tรผte aufgegangen. Hab das Hochbeet am Abend reingeholt und ziehe die kleinen.doch am Fenster vor. 28. Mรคrz Zwei von drei sind as der Erde geschlรผpft :). Das Wunschziel wurde damit erreicht trotz des โ€žhohen Altersโ€œ der Samen. Hoffe. Wir dennoch mal auf nr. Drei
