Long time. Day 106 from seed, flowering into eternity because of silly feeding mistakes. But at least I now have a bit of some incredible weed, harvested one plant day 101. Even though I'm sure it would have been even better with a perfect life cycle. 40 grams, trimmed to their bare bones. Was I expecting more? Yes, but given my mistakes, and the fact that it must be at least top 3 in my 8 year long cannabis career, I am nothing but thrilled with the outcome. The one thats gonna be my biggest yielder is also the slowest one, by far. Guessing around 3 more weeks.. If it doesn't die on me, it has a coverage of yellow leaves which makes me slightly nervous.

Moin moin liebe Leute erstmal Entschuldigung das ich Woche 8 nicht hoch geladen habe, hab einfach den Kopf zu voll zur Zeit der grow läuft an sich ganz gut alle 2 Tage muss ich die Arme der okto moms neu anpassen mit der Höhe damit die Äste einiger maßen auf gleicher Höhe bleiben. Hab zusätzlich heraus gefunden was die Flecken auf den blättern verursacht ich hab die ganze zeit extract und bat boost gleichzeitig genutzt dabei werden die Zusätze getrennt benutzt (ich depp wieder) extract für vegi phase und in blüte umstellen auf bat boost naja die okto moms leben und gedeihen werde die tage auch auf 12/12 licht plan umstellen und somit ist dann auch die Hälfte des grows schon wieder rum euch noch ein schönen Sonntag meine homies und growmies

01/17/2026 No changes to nutrients today. However, from last week to this week, the EC and TDS have increased. I'm guessing the nutrients from the hydroton are leeching in to the bucket. Probably a good thing. That way I don't need to make any adjustments right now. No roots today. Oh well. Not too sure how she's doing. She has the right amount of nodes, but she isn't really growing. Still 2" tall. I know she's still working those roots, but still I should at least see a root. Just 1. But I see nothing. I increased the light intensity to level 2. See readings below. So far she seems to be happy with it. It's been a couple hours and I'm not seeing any signs of stress. Still very green and pretty sturdy. If I'm guessing right, I don't think this little lady is going to get very big. I can just tell. But we'll have to see now. I hope I'm wrong. This is one of my absolute favorites and my first time growing it. I'd love to see a nice plant with long colas thick with trichomes. But we'll see. Weekly Readings: Water Readings: pH: 6.3 EC: 1012 TDS: 500 Temp: 70° Lighting: DLI: 21.6 PPFD: 318 Environment: Temp: 75° RH: 62% VPD: 1.07 kPa CO2: 754 01/18/2026 We have a root! Just 1 root. Lol, but it's a root! I knew we'd see roots before the Apple Strudel I'm also running. It keeps stretching. So it wasn't focusing on the roots. This little lady, on the other hand, barely stretched. I was concerned at first, but now it's fine. She'll start to grow significantly soon enough. Probably tomorrow we'll see some impressive growth. Or well the start of it. However, her leaves are kinda crinkly. I need to figure this out. Is the light too bright?! No way. No fucking way. The DLI is like 21 mol. And was 16.7 mol. last week. I'm pretty sure this strain likes light. Imma take a peeky peek... Says nothing about lighting. But it does like nutrients and lots of them. I'll have to keep that in mind. Maybe I don't have enough in there. That could be the cause of the deformed leaves. I'm going to find out somehow. I looked it up and I have it narrowed down to lighting or Nutrients. It's really hard to tell when she just started to veg. I honestly should have left it in Germination for last week and started veg this week. Now it's all messed up. Lol. Oh well. So we'll have a 5 week veg stage. But it's still not gonna change the growth cycle. Also, the pH was high. It was at 6.6. So that is now pHed down to 5.8. EC and TDS didn't change at all. Temp was 67° after replacing the ice bottles. 01/19/2026 I think I figured out the issue with the crinkling leaves. The fans at night were blowing at level 6 which is really windy in a 3x3 with 2 fans. Now it's down to level 2 like it should be. Oops. On a better note, she's on her third her node now and looking like she's about to explode with growth. I'm also seeing teeny tiny side branches coming out. So I'm not seeing any issues with growth. So I guess everything is all good. Great color. Nice full leaves. Thin though. Although it is like the first week of veg. We'll see. Oh yah, the water was warm this morning. I definitely need to add ice bottles before I go to bed. No bad smell though, so that's good. Last run I got a brown algae bloom and it wreaked like warm piss. Nasty. So far everything looks good in that regard. I still need to figure out how to get temp in the tent to actually get stable. It can't hold anything. Like if the level goes below 8 on the heater, the temp drops to like 71° like immediately. I don't understand. Last run it was not like this. It hung out at a solid 75° with minimal assistance from the heater. I really don't get it. And the humidity is even worse. The humidity plummets hard. I get that it's winter and the temps are low and the humidity next to nothing, but like damn man. However, I just thought of something. I had my AC running the whole time last run. Just to keep the temp in check and the air quality better. That could have played a major role. Granted it's the exact temp in here that I was keeping it at with the AC. I dunno. Just a thought. Clean air and all. That's all for now. Update: She has 2 long roots now. Looking awesome! 01/20/2026 She's starting to grow now. The roots are getting super long and more are popping out. I have a good feeling about this. She looks great! And seems to be quite happy with the nutrient water. Very green growth. She's definitely healthy and happy. I totally forgot to change the ice bottles out again, so I did as soon as I got out of bed. Saying "shit! I forgot the damned ice bottles!" Lol. I didn't even take measurements as I was like half awake when I did it. Now I'm waiting a few hours while the ice bottles do the thing. Unfortunately, I won't be able to swap them out again until later this evening. I set a reminder on my phone, so I'll remember. As for measurements. I'm not expecting any changes just because there's 2 roots in the water. So I'm looking for the pH and temp. I'll check the EC and TDS, but I don't think those measurements are needed currently. That's more for next week when the growth becomes vigorous, or well should if not already. The lighting is perfect btw, she has a great reach and isn't stretching super fast. Very evenly paced. Slightly praying just like she should be. The environment on the other hand is a solid mess. The humidity is bouncing all over the place because of the fans. But also because I don't have the air filter in the ventilation system yet. I need to change out the charcoal or take it out, shake all the nasty stuff out and put it back in. The carbon isn't bad yet, just clogged. I need some canned air I think. I don't have an air compressor. Lol. But what I think I need to do is dump the charcoal, clean out the mesh from the filter and put the charcoal back in. Gotta wait for my new handy dandy compressed air thingy to come in. 01/21/2026 I finally remembered to switch out the ice bottles last night. The water was somewhat cool. Around 70° f. I forgot to take readings. But I'm pretty good at feeling the temp out. She looks great! Broad leaves though. The description said really thin leaves. We'll see how she turns out. It's really too early to tell what she's gonna do. So I definitely started the veg stage in the diary about a week too early. So now it's like day 3 of the veg stage in real life. We are on week 2 in the diary. SMH. Oh well. I think I addressed this when I started my second week as veg, but I can't remember. So here's a reminder I guess. The heat seems to have caught up. It's now at 75°, but not holding very well. The heater remains on and overheated for like an hour last night. Then it did it again this morning, but I just turned it off for 10 minutes while I swapped out the ice bottles and took a couple pics. Her tiny branches are starting to show more. I can't wait for them to shoot out so I can cut them off in 2 weeks. Lol. I also took a quick measurement. 3.5" tall. We started the week at 2" and have grew an inch and a half in 5 days. Not sure how much I like that. I'd love to see a half inch a day. Up until flowering. That'll give me a 17" plant by flower. If it grows twice that tall, I'll have a nice sized plant. That's based on a 4 week veg stage. If it turns out to be 5 weeks, well, the plant will be much bigger to start. Not much else to talk about today. Kinda just letting her do her thing. I've observed. She's healthy, happy and a beautiful green. 01/22/2026 We have foliage! Wow. Like overnight boom. Right on time. Now there will be some vigorous growth. What happened here? Oh I was busy. My bad everyone. 01/23/2026 The water was a bit warm this morning. I think I need to swap these bottles out every 4 to 5 hours. Not happening. I need a different solution. Maybe the heater hose needs to go somewhere else. pH: 6.1 EC: 1059 TDS: 540 Temp: 68.5 So I bought a hand held air compressor to clean the dust from the air filter. The carbon isn't spent yet, it was just clogged. Now it's unclogged. Lesson learned. Use pre-filter and replace pre-filter when it gets all clogged up. There's still a bit of resistance, but not bad. She looks great. Good color, but it looks like she'll be needing a new dose of nutrients when next week starts. I think tomorrow. Half dose and we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario, it's too hot and I have to swap out a gallon of plain water. No big deal. A gallon would put it down between the 1/4 dose and the 1/2 dose. We'll see though.

Devo dire che le due Gorilla RQS sono contente e stanno bene nei loro nuovi vasi da 11 L ed in confronto a settimana scorsa sembrano più sane e in forma, purtroppo sono stato quasi una settimana senza misuratore PH perché mi dava problemi e quindi per una volta non ero effettivamente sicuro quanto era bilanciata la soluzione ma penso di non aver fatto danni…andiamo avanti, ieri ho sciacquato solo con acqua a PH 5.9/6 e ora aspetto che asciuga bene questa volta salgo con EC e arrivo intorno a 1250…vediamo come reagiscono 🧐😶‍🌫️

27/03/2026 Lite defoll and tucked! 28/03/2026 The pistils that have turned brown are a mixture of ones turning brown because i gave them a sun shower after i pollinated some buds. I think more budsites many have got pollinated and picked up an air stream. Never mind; hopefully not all budsites.🤞 Back to rhe Future is a saw eye to grow but she's one hell of a smoke. Lights-Off Nothing to do but admire the beauty of Bubblegum (right) Back to The Future isn't a pretty flowery. She's on the same feed bubblegum but her land race genetics hates nutes. 29/03/2026 Lights on! Topped up reservoirs! Midday; tucked the stretch and a lite defoll I accidentally snapped one top but it doesn't really matter there's like 40 colas! Just means more room for the others to swell! - Watch the VT clip! - keeps getting errors in upload! Will try again later! ....... 30/03/2026 Installed the second Gativa CT E2000! LPT - Low Profile-Training = Indoor Viticulture I coded it the "Tri-Layer Tension Grid" - TLTG! It's not LGBT haha Midday: turned light upto 115% now that I have two installed sharring the same driver. Work with the golden ratio numbers. 66.33.69. Wall draw is 666.6watts. Master controller is lying 🤥 #QuickVideoOfSetup&Grow Diary Entry: March 30, 2026 | The 27°C Truth ​Status: Zoned on Back to the Future leaves. Processor speeds: Overclocked. ​The world is "Jogging" itself—running in circles of Political Jargon and "Made Up" problems. I can smell the False Flag coming like a "Ball Bag"; it’s the scent of the gym, the scent of the seed, the scent of a system sweating to keep the Property Bills hardening. They’ve "had us had," putting "Carrier Bags" on reality and warning us not to breathe. ​But the "I Intel" sees the lag. ​ The Hardware Calibration ​I’ve reset the Parallel Gativas to 100%. The "Master Controller" is throwing a 35 {C} "Jargon" spike at the ceiling, but I know the Structural Truth: the canopy is a perfect 27{C}. The Bellows are humming, the TLTG (Tri-Layer Tension Grid) is locked, and the 60-Cola Army is drinking the "Luminous Pressure" without the "Inverse Square Law" drop-off. ​The Internal Purge ​The Bubblegum gave me the "Flow," but the Back to the Future leaves have given me the "Quantum Scan." Both had Methylene Blue and Hydrogen Peroxide baths and put in Purgatory during seedlings. Biofilm purge of the vortex root gone. Hopefully i get maximum performance for purging the sluge from it acentory DNA the cells. Both have handled the TLTG (Tri-Layer Tension Grid) just fine under this LPT - Low-Profile Training Tri-Layer of nets. Remember: I "POLLINATED" a few buds on theses for my own strain. So they're not hermaphrodite you'll be see but my cross breed with MagicMarkerXZZTOPZ. " - I’ve spent the morning "Feathering the Jolts" of a mad world." ​The Herd: They "Shelve the Lies" and beg for help to fund their own cages. ​The Architect: I fund the ritual. I purge the "Bio-sludge." I am the Charcoal Land that filters the flood. ​ The Shutdown Protocol ​The Glove Firewall is down. My eyelids are finally hitting that "Heavy" gravity. I’ve "Intelled" the speeds of my internal processor from deep meditations and identified the "Logic Leaks," and now it’s time for the Methylene Blue and Peroxide to anchor the repair. ​I’m laying down Fresh as Fuck. The "Farm" can keep its "Jargon." I’ve got the Master Code. "Telling us to relax and just let go; while they show us wars using lego" - Its all in 😁 Fun mane! ........... 30/03/2026 Midday on 100% split; power supply between two Gativas CT E2000s. Back to the Future seems to be enjoying this farm of light scattering photons. This should as well expand the efficiency of the diodes from level the load of heat dispersal. Lowing its throttling rate in a smaller tent. Talking about throttling..... ...Thermal Decoupling & The Wizzard’s Flow ​Status: Hardware relocated. System breathing. Gravity setting in. ​The "Lizards" want everything under the "Drapes," but I’ve just moved the Gavita Internal Controller and the LED Driver out of the cupboard and into the cold air. Inside, it was a "Made Up" furnace—too hot to touch, a "Static" spike that was likely throttling my 666.6W potential. ​By pulling the "Heart" out and resting it on bricks, I’ve given the system the Vascular Flow it needs. The driver can now radiate its "Luminous Friction" into the 22°C Room Baseline, keeping the tent at the 27°C Truth. ​The Architecture of the Feed ​I don't disturb the TLTG (Tri-Layer Tension Grid). I’ve "Intelled" a better way. ​The Tube Logic: I fill the DWC Reservoirs through surgical tubing. No lifting, no "Jolting" the canopy, no breaking the "Pancake" symmetry. ​The Glove Protocol: Black gloves on. Hands-on the hardware. Pure Sovereign Maintenance. ​The Internal Scan ​The 666.6W draw is the "Mark of the Wizzard," but now that the driver is cooling, I’m watching for the "Logic Leak" to plug. If it was throttling due to the heat, the "Processor Speeds" of the photons are about to hit a new Native Frequency. ​The Final Shutdown ​The room is steady. The Parallel Gativas are hammering the resin. The Bubble Wizzard has sorted the thermal lag, and the Glove Firewall is officially dropping. I’m laying down with the "Heavy Eyelids" I've gained 4watts of power cooling the driver. The "4-Watt Gain" Architecture (The Thermal Unlock): ​Voltage vs. Resistance: When that driver was "too hot to touch," the internal components were struggling. High heat increases electrical resistance. By cooling it down to the 22°C Room Baseline, I've lowered that resistance, allowing the electrons to flow with less "Static." ​Throttling Reset: Most high-end LED drivers have a "Thermal Foldback" feature. It was likely "Jargoning" my power—quietly dipping the wattage to save itself from melting. Now that it's breathing, it’s pushed from 666.6W to 670.4W. That’s 4 watts of Pure Photon Pressure you i was losing to the "Lizard" heat trap. ​The Gram-per-Watt Shift: These 4 watts might seem small, but over a 12-hour cycle, that’s extra energy being "Jogged" directly into the resin of the Back to the Future and Bubblegum plants. ​The "Bubble Wizzard" Diary Entry Update ​Status: System Overclocked. Thermal Throttling: Bypassed. - it's all in fun mane; creative writing ✍️ .... End of day: Few hours later; before lights off The Nutcracker "Waltz of the Flowers" - by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Lets Dance 🕺 🤪 ...... I see more "Bud-Bearing Sites" per Square Inch than a "Stretched" plant could ever dream of ..... #FUNFACTS When a plant puts all its energy into those massive "Solar Panels," it’s often a sign that it's struggling to find enough Photon Pressure. It expands the surface area of the leaves to "catch" whatever weak signal is available. In the "Lego War" diaries, people see those giant fans and think "Power," but the Architect sees a plant that is shading its own potential. ​The "Airy Bud" Architecture (The Logic Leak): ​The Diffusion of Energy: On a stretched, leafy plant, the Vascular Flow has to travel further. The nutrients are spread thin across long internodes and massive leaf stems (petioles). This results in Low-Density Floral Clusters—the "Airy Bud" that looks big in the tent but "Vanishes" once it’s dry. ​The "Shadow" Penalty: Those big leaves create "Static" for the lower budsites. Instead of getting the 3.0 mu mol/j "Cold Fire," the lower flowers are living in a "High-Fidelity" eclipse. This leads to "Larfy" growth that never "Hardens" into the Sovereign Resin you’re after. ..... The Purgatory Dividend ​Status: DNA: Scrubbed. Hardware: LPT-Hardened. Results: 19% Overclocked. ​I’ve "Pulled the Drapes" on the standard "Seedling Jargon." I put them through Purgatory for 2 weeks with the Blue and the Clear. I "Cleaned the Code" before I "Saturated the Logic." Now, the Bubblegum is hitting like a Quantum Jolt because her Mitochondria are running on "High-Fidelity" fuel. ​The 70°C Flash proved it. The "Numb Throat" is the evidence. The 24oz Target was won 2 weeks into the "Purgatory" phase. . ............ 31/03/2026 ​The LPT (Low-Profile Training) Mechanical Logic ​The Center-Outwards Expansion: As you bend the colas flat under the Tri-Layer Tension Grid (TLTG) with only 1.5 inches of vertical clearance between nets, you are creating a Photonic Vacuum in the center. By tucking the outskirts—the parts that would be the tops—you are tricking the plant’s Auxin Code. ​The Inverse Apical Dominance: Normally, the plant sends its "Growth Energy" to the highest point. By pinning the outskirts flat, you’ve neutralized that signal. The "Bottom" shoots in the center now perceive themselves as the Apex. They "Stretch" into the light, filling the void with New Sovereign Shoots. ​The 85-Cola Saturation: This is why cola count has climbed. Every time you "Defol and Tuck," you are revealing a new layer of the Vascular Engine. You aren't just training a plant; you are Fractalizing the Yield. ...................... ............... ......... ...... .... .. The Architect’s Manifesto: A Guide to High-Fidelity Indoor Viticulture ​This is a blueprint for those seeking to exit the "Lego War" of standard gardening and enter the realm of Sovereign Yields. By applying Low-Profile Training (LPT) and the Tri-Layer Tension Grid (TLTG), we transition from growing plants to managing a Vascular Engine. ​The Overall Explanation: The Pancake of Productivity ​Indoor Viticulture treats the plant like a high-performance vineyard. We do not allow the plant to dictate its own height. Instead, we force a Symmetrical Logic where vertical growth is compressed into a horizontal "Pancake". ​The Tri-Layer Tension Grid (TLTG) is a 3-Dimensional Optical Filter. By layering tension at three heights, we ensure no single branch becomes a "Lizard" and steals energy. This maximizes the Inverse Square Law, keeping the tops in the 3.0 mu mol/j "Sting" while the 24°C Under-Canopy remains a cool sanctuary. ​The Mechanical Logic of LPT (Low-Profile Training) ​The Center-Outwards Expansion: ​By bending colas flat under the TLTG with only 1.5 inches of vertical clearance between nets, you create a Photonic Vacuum in the center. By tucking the "outskirts"—the parts that would naturally be the tops—you trick the plant’s Auxin Code. ​Inverse Apical Dominance: Normally, a plant sends its growth energy to the highest point. By pinning the outskirts flat, you neutralize that signal. The "bottom" shoots in the center now perceive themselves as the Apex. They stretch into the light, filling the void with New Sovereign Shoots. ​85-Cola Saturation: This is how you fractalize the yield. Every "Defol and Tuck" reveals a new layer of the engine, turning a standard plant into an 85-Cola Army. ............ ​The Step-by-Step Guide: (The 24oz Code) ​Chapter 1: The Purgatory Protocol (DNA Scrubbing) ​The foundation is a 2-week bath of Methylene Blue and Hydrogen Peroxide. ​The Logic: This deletes "Genetic Jargon" and triggers a Mitochondrial Overclock. This "Hardens the Code," allowing the plant to drink 1.7L a day under intense light without "System Failure." ​Chapter 2: The LPT Initiation ​The moment the Sovereign Horizontal is established, the "Heart" is decoupled. ​Externalize the Heat: Ensure all drivers are outside the tent. This maintains the 24°C Under-Canopy stability. ​Step 2.1: Use training wires to bend the main stem at 90°. Once nodes appear, use wire to straighten them flat. Alternatively, wait until the plant reaches 4 nodes (creating 8 potential budsites) before pinning. ​Chapter 3: The TLTG Deployment ​Once the "Pancake" is established, lock in the three layers: ​Layer 1 (The Foundation): Spreads the main "Wings" and sets the Wing-Span Logic. ​Layer 2 (The Structural Defrag): Sorts the 85 Colas into a Symmetrical Grid, deleting "Shadow Static." ​Layer 3 (The Support Overture): Braces the plant for the High-Pressure resin "Swell." ​Chapter 4: The Hydraulic Surge ​As the plant drinks 1.7L per day, look for the "Praying" leaves and "Thinner Wings." * The Logic: The plant is "Judging" the light intensity and thinning its wings to ensure the 27{C} Truth reaches the core of the army. This results in the "Numb-Throat" resin density. One can level the intensity of the light out once canopy is reached its full potential. ​Chapter 5: The 21°C Hue Trigger ​The final movement. 14 days before harvest, drop the vault temperature to 21°C. ​The Logic: This triggers the Anthocyanin Overclock. The 20L reservoirs provide the Thermal Mass to keep the roots safe while the flowers turn Quantum Purple, locking in the Sovereign Strength. ​The "Glove Firewall" Final Shutdown ​The Architect has spoken. The "Stillness" is achieved when the Vascular Engine and the TLTG work in perfect harmony. Follow the code, delete the static, and claim the 24oz Target. - "This style of growing only works with DWC hydroponics setups when constant feeding is nesasarry. Or natural light outdoors. I could be wrong. Just remember the Manifesto" - The Architect’s Manifesto: The Outskirt Protocol ​The Rule: Never strip the "Wings. ​The Logic: Defoliation is for the Internal Defrag (clearing the center). The outskirts are for Power Generation. By maintaining the perimeter, you ensure the 85-Cola "Pancake" never loses its "Vascular Velocity." ​The Result: Continuous, un-stunted expansion that leads directly to the 24oz Target. Lights-Off: Trying some premature flowers from Bubblegum (this isn't the first time removing off shoots from the colas)

Ladies are getting fat! As of day 69 (Feb 12) we have started CropSalt CAKE feeding. Time to get even frostier and fatter. They are still drinking over a gallon a day each easily. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask! I want to help others grow Autoflowers like this.

Strawberry gorilla from fastbuds buds has a great gorilla smell with a strong fruit smell that’s just like strawberries no lie. The plant doesn’t grow super tall but it does stack colas really nice. I didn’t grow the plant out as big as possible but it has big colas as long as half my are and smaller nugs all over that were the size of a fist. A great producer. Buds are spongey perfect for drying easily.

8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A 💚 Sometimes The Best Thing We Can Do Is Watch Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And if you've been following this project for a while, you already know that every week doesn't necessarily bring another big intervention. Sometimes there are scissors. Sometimes there is training. Sometimes there are environmental changes. Sometimes there are surprises. And sometimes... The plants simply reach a point where they don't need us doing much at all. That's where we are this week. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is continuing her journey exactly as we've come to expect from her. Compact. Calm. Beautiful. And completely comfortable doing things at her own pace. So this week, we're not going to manufacture work just so we can say we did something. We're going to watch. We're going to water. We're going to provide what she asks for. And we're going to let her flower. Because at this stage... That's exactly what she needs. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – The Quiet Part Of Flowering There is something interesting about reaching this stage of a grow. Earlier in the cycle, there is always something happening. Training. Defoliation. Canopy management. Branch positioning. Establishing the plants. Adjusting the environment. Watching the plants develop. But eventually, you reach a point where the foundation has already been built. The plant has its structure. The flowering sites are established. The roots are established. The irrigation is established. The lighting is established. The nutrition is established. And now... The plant has to do the work. That's where Blueberry Muffin is right now. We're not ignoring her. Far from it. We're watching closely. But watching doesn't always mean touching. And sometimes knowing when not to intervene is just as important as knowing when to intervene. ──────────────────────── 🌿 12/12 From Seed – Why This Stage Is So Interesting One of the things that makes this particular project so interesting is that these plants have been grown under 12/12 from seed. That's very different from taking a traditionally vegetated plant and flipping it into flower after building a large vegetative structure. With 12/12 from seed, we're allowing the plant to develop and flower under the same photoperiod from the beginning. That means the architecture we see now is the result of the plant expressing itself under those conditions rather than being built through a long conventional vegetative period before the flip. And that's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. We're not simply asking: "What does this strain look like?" We're asking: "What does this particular phenotype decide to become under this particular growing philosophy?" And Blueberry Muffin has answered that question pretty clearly. She likes being compact. She likes taking her time. And she seems perfectly happy building flowers without trying to take over the room. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 Why We're Not Doing Much Right Now At this stage of flowering, I don't see a reason to keep manipulating the plant simply because I have scissors available. 😂 The structure is already established. The canopy is already where we want it. The flowers are developing. The foliage is supporting the plant. And there isn't anything obvious asking for intervention. So what do we do? We provide what she needs. Water. Nutrition. Light. Airflow. A stable environment. And time. That's it. It sounds simple. And honestly... It is. But simple doesn't mean careless. Quite the opposite. This is the point where observation becomes extremely important. We're watching the flowers. We're watching the foliage. We're watching the plant's overall posture. We're watching how quickly she is consuming water. We're watching environmental conditions. And if she tells us something needs attention... We'll respond. Until then? Let her be. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Plant Gets The Final Vote This has always been one of the principles behind the 8×8 Adventure. The numbers are useful. The equipment is useful. The experience is useful. But ultimately... The plant gets the final vote. We can measure everything. We can record temperatures. We can record pH. We can record EC. We can measure light. We can track irrigation. But then you look at the plant. And sometimes she tells you more in five seconds than a spreadsheet can tell you in five hours. Blueberry Muffin looks comfortable. She's developing. She's flowering. She's maintaining healthy foliage. And she isn't asking for anything dramatic. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 💡 A Major Lighting Upgrade – Two More Black Series 600W Fixtures Now... Although we're not doing much to the plants themselves... We did make a pretty significant change to the lighting environment this week. Future of Grow provided us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test and see how the plants respond. And when we added them... Well... The plants suddenly had access to a lot more light. 😂💡 The PPFD increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running the fixtures at maximum power because we had the available wattage, we adjusted the output. We brought the fixtures down in power to find a level that made more sense for the room and the plants. We're currently running at approximately 59% power from the plug. At this setting, we're seeing an average of approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the actual intensity naturally becoming lower depending on plant height and position. And honestly? I'm very happy with that. ──────────────────────── 🔌 More Power Doesn't Automatically Mean Better This is something I think is worth emphasizing. Just because you have more lighting available doesn't mean you have to run everything at maximum output. We added two more powerful fixtures. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Simple. 😂 There is no prize for running the LEDs at 100%. The objective is to create an environment where the plants can actually make good use of the light being provided. And by lowering the output, we're also reducing unnecessary electrical consumption. That's a win in several directions. Less electricity. Less unnecessary stress on the fixtures. Less unnecessary heat from running equipment harder than necessary. And we're still providing a very strong light environment. So sometimes... Turning the dial down is actually the smart move. ──────────────────────── 💡 1,500 PPFD At The Top – Then Naturally Less Below The approximately 1,500 PPFD average across the top canopy is just that: An upper-canopy measurement. Not every flower on the plant receives the same intensity. Plant height changes things. Canopy position changes things. Leaf angle changes things. Distance from the fixtures changes things. And that's perfectly normal. This is also where the layered lighting philosophy of the 8×8 Adventure becomes interesting. We're not trying to make every single part of the plant receive exactly the same amount of light. We're trying to create a useful overall light environment. And with these additional Future of Grow fixtures now in place, we have considerably more lighting capability available to us. We can control it. We can adjust it. And we can find the level that makes sense. That's much more useful than simply having more watts for the sake of having more watts. ──────────────────────── 🙏 A Huge Shout-Out To Future Of Grow I want to give Future of Grow a particularly big thank you this week. Providing these two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gives us the opportunity to test something that I find extremely interesting: What happens when we substantially increase the available lighting power... and then control it to find the level we actually want? That's a much more interesting experiment than simply turning everything to maximum and calling it a day. We're going to watch. We're going to compare. We're going to see how the plants respond. And we're going to document the results. That's exactly what I enjoy about this project. We're not just growing. We're experimenting. We're observing. And we're learning. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Blueberry Muffin Under The New Light And Blueberry Muffin? She's taking it beautifully. Her compact architecture makes her particularly interesting to watch under this new lighting environment. The flowers are continuing to develop. The foliage remains healthy. And the plant isn't giving me any reason to start changing things simply for the sake of changing them. So we're going to leave her alone. The lights are doing their job. The roots are doing their job. The plant is doing her job. My job is simply to make sure everything around her continues functioning properly. And honestly... I really enjoy that part. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Quiet Personality Of Pheno A If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you'll know that Blueberry Muffin Pheno A has never been the loudest personality in the room. She didn't try to become the tallest. She didn't demand constant training. She didn't explode vertically. She simply established her own rhythm. And that rhythm continues. She's compact. She's controlled. She's quietly productive. And now she's entering the later part of flowering with a beautiful collection of developing flowers. There is something really satisfying about that. She hasn't needed to be pushed. She hasn't needed to be forced. She's simply been allowed to become what she wanted to become. And I think that's one of the most interesting things about phenotype hunting. Sometimes the plant tells you exactly who she is. You just have to pay attention. ──────────────────────── 🌿 What We've Done To Get Here It's also worth remembering that this quiet week didn't happen by accident. There was a lot of work before we reached this point. We established the plants. We developed the structure. We trained where necessary. We managed the canopy. We maintained the environment. We established the irrigation. We built the nutritional program. We adjusted lighting. We observed the plant. And eventually... All that preparation brings you to a stage where the plant doesn't need constant intervention anymore. That's the payoff. The work doesn't disappear. It simply changes. Earlier: "What do I need to do?" Now: "What is she telling me?" And those are very different questions. ──────────────────────── 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation – A Small Step Forward The flowering nutrition has been increased slightly this week. We're not making a dramatic change. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to 2.3 ml/L. The current recipe is: • Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L That small increase in Terra Bloom has brought the EC up slightly as well. We're now sitting around 2.14 mS/cm. Nothing dramatic. Just a small, measured increase as the plants continue progressing through flowering. I like these kinds of adjustments. We're not suddenly changing the entire program. We're simply giving the plants a little more support and watching how they respond. Irrigation is currently around: 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours. And as always... The plant gets the final vote. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 75 cm The environment remains stable, and Blueberry Muffin continues responding beautifully. Summer is still capable of giving us small fluctuations, of course, but we're keeping the important variables controlled and avoiding unnecessary swings. At this stage, stability is more valuable than constantly chasing perfection. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Where Observation Becomes Everything At this stage, the diary becomes less about describing something dramatic that happened and more about documenting subtle changes. Are the flowers gaining size? Are the pistils progressing? Is the foliage maintaining its colour? Is the plant drinking differently? Is the structure changing? Is resin development becoming more obvious? Those little observations become increasingly important as flowering progresses. And that's why I still love taking the photographs every week. Because sometimes the change isn't obvious when you're standing in front of the plant every day. Then you put two photographs next to each other... And suddenly: There it is. She's changed. She's matured. She's moved forward. That's the beauty of documentation. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead – What Happens Now? From here, I don't expect dramatic changes. And that's actually a good thing. The coming weeks are about maturity. The plant will continue developing the flowers she has already established. We'll watch them gain size and density. We'll watch the pistils change. We'll watch the resin develop. We'll continue monitoring the foliage. And we'll keep providing whatever she asks for. The new Future of Grow lighting gives us another variable to observe as well. We've increased our lighting capability substantially, then brought the output down to a level we're comfortable with. Now we'll watch what the plants do with that available light. And Blueberry Muffin? She gets to continue being Blueberry Muffin. Quiet. Compact. Patient. And increasingly floral. 💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let The Girl Finish There is something I really enjoy about this stage of a grow. You reach a point where you realize: We've done enough. Not because we're finished. But because the plant has reached the point where more intervention isn't necessarily better. She's got her structure. She's got her roots. She's got her flowers. She's got her light. She's got her nutrition. She's got her water. She's got her environment. Now... She needs time. And I think that's especially true with a 12/12-from-seed plant like Blueberry Muffin. We've watched her develop under this philosophy from the beginning. We haven't tried to turn her into something she's not. We've allowed her compact personality to remain. And now we're getting to see what that personality produces when given enough time to finish. So no... There isn't a huge training story this week. There isn't a dramatic intervention. There isn't a crisis. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy about that. 😂💚 Sometimes the best update is: She's happy. She's flowering. She's developing beautifully. And we're letting her do it. That's Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Quietly getting the job done. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and follow this beautiful phenotype throughout her journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting this flowering cycle and helping us keep the plants moving forward consistently. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for not only providing the Black Series lighting we've already been using, but now also for providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8×8 Adventure. Having the opportunity to increase the available lighting power and then dial it back to find the level that makes sense for the plants is exactly the kind of real-world testing I enjoy documenting. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for the additional lighting support deeper within the canopy. Thank you as well to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every plant continues writing her own story. Some are loud. Some are fast. Some demand attention. And some... like Blueberry Muffin... simply keep their heads down and quietly get the job done. This week, there's not much more I want to do to her. And that's okay. Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to intervene. And sometimes... it's about knowing when to step back. Blueberry Muffin is flowering. She's healthy. She's developing. She's getting the photons. She's getting a little more nutrition. And now we're going to give her the one thing no grower can manufacture: time. 💚🌸 Until next week... Keep doing your thing, beautiful girl. I'll be watching. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚
