Started overdrive i think 3 more weeks left

She has turned an absolutely beautiful pine/dark red. Buds appear to be medium sized ROCKS. Trimming this one will be an absolute breeze. Trichomes keep developing but mainly on the lower decks. (Upper decks are mostly populated I guess...) SHE IS NOW SMELLING LIKE EARTHY+SPICY ORANGES/PEEL. - From skunkyfunky to funkyfruity to this has been a super-fun olfactory ride! In the early flower weeks I had been skeptic where this is going, but now I'm convinced! If she just stays like this I'll be fucking thrilled.. but she has about two weeks to go and we'll see where she ends up. I'm excited to see/smell! Still super fucking happy with her root system/infrastructure. I'm feeding her (late bloom now) at about 1.6/1.7 EC with 20:9:18 N:P:K and 13x/4x mg Cal/Mag per L. No deficiencies no nothing 😍 Also: no further defoliation 😊

The week started with an of trichome production and smell, orange and mandarin peel. Really nice to smell on her. She is packed with flowers and looks quit healthy. I need to have an eye on nitrogen. My potting mixes were a bit too hot and Tangerine Dream maybe needs a flush. We‘ll see how she will looks tomorrow morning and the so decide.

First grow, been along time coming

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 7 (Flower Week 4) 🌱 The Room Is Coming Alive One of the biggest goals of this 8×8 Adventure has never been growing a single impressive plant. It's about building an entire ecosystem where every phenotype has the opportunity to express its own genetics while sharing the same environment, the same nutrition, and the same cultivation philosophy. Week after week, that vision becomes easier to see. Frosted Guava Pheno A continues doing exactly what she has done since the beginning—growing with balance, consistency, and confidence. While some plants steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she continues proving that steady development is often the foundation for exceptional harvests. Now entering her fourth week of flowering, she's no longer simply producing flowers. She's beginning to build real buds. And at the same time... The entire room is beginning to transform into a living sea of green. 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Everything Is Coming Together Standing at approximately 115 cm tall, Frosted Guava has stretched exactly as I hoped she would. Her vertical growth has started slowing naturally, allowing almost all of her energy to shift into flower production. Every branch now carries developing bud sites, and the individual flowers that appeared only a week ago are already beginning to stack together. The structure she built during vegetative growth is now paying dividends. Light reaches nearly every top, airflow remains excellent throughout the canopy, and each branch has enough room to develop without competing with its neighbours. She's becoming one of those plants that's simply enjoyable to watch every single day. 🍃 The Room Has Its Own Personality This week's report isn't only about one plant. It's also about the room itself. Walking into the tent now feels completely different compared to only a few weeks ago. The empty spaces that once separated individual plants are slowly disappearing as every canopy begins growing together into one continuous layer of green. The room feels alive. Every plant is stretching toward the light while simultaneously filling the space around her. Each phenotype still shows its own personality, but together they're becoming one complete ecosystem. That also means something else is approaching. Not because every individual plant necessarily needs it... But because the room does. Within the next week or so I'll likely perform the first significant defoliation of flowering. This isn't about removing leaves simply because I can. It's about maintaining airflow, allowing deeper light penetration, reducing excessive humidity pockets, and making sure every plant continues receiving the environment she deserves as the canopy becomes increasingly dense. Sometimes we don't prune for the plants. We prune for the room. 💡 Lighting Above... And Below The lighting system has also evolved alongside the plants. Above the canopy, the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering approximately 1,000 PPFD across the tops of the flowering plants. For anyone new to growing, PPFD simply measures how many usable light particles reach the plant every second. In other words, it's one of the best ways to understand how much energy the plants receive for photosynthesis. Around 1,000 PPFD provides an excellent level of intensity for flowering under these conditions. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another layer to the system. Rather than replacing the main light, these bars help illuminate lower flowering sites that would normally receive much less intensity once the canopy becomes dense. It's still early to judge the final results, but I'm genuinely excited to see how much they improve lower bud development as flowering progresses. Like everything else in this diary... The harvest will tell the real story. 🌬️ Airflow – Creating A Living Environment One aspect that's often overlooked is air movement. Good airflow isn't simply about pointing a fan at the plants. Inside this room, multiple oscillating fans create moving crosswinds that constantly change direction, preventing stagnant pockets of humid air from developing between the branches. At the same time, cooler air naturally enters from the lower section of the room while the extraction system continuously removes the warmer air accumulating near the ceiling. This constant vertical air exchange creates an environment where fresh CO₂ is continually introduced, humidity remains balanced, temperatures stay remarkably stable, and every leaf continues transpiring efficiently. Healthy airflow is one of the quiet heroes behind every successful flowering room. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue remaining beautifully consistent: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm This gives the room a VPD that's right where I want it for this stage of flowering. For growers unfamiliar with the term, VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit) describes the relationship between temperature and humidity, helping determine how efficiently plants transpire and move water and nutrients through their tissues. Rather than chasing individual numbers, I prefer building an environment where temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, and lighting all work together as one complete system. Another question I often receive concerns CO₂. The reading of roughly 639 ppm isn't coming from bottled supplementation. It's simply the natural level inside my home, helped by continuously exchanging fresh household air through the grow room. During the evenings, with the family inside and normal household activity taking place, those natural CO₂ levels remain more than adequate for this style of cultivation. Sometimes simple really does work. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains unchanged this week, allowing the plants to continue flowering without unnecessary adjustments. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Power Buds • Green Sensation Maintaining consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing new recipes. The plants certainly seem to agree. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect flower production to accelerate noticeably. The stretch should finish completely, bud sites will begin joining together, resin production should become increasingly visible, and Frosted Guava will start investing nearly all of her energy into building flower density rather than producing new height. The canopy itself will likely become full enough to justify the first flowering defoliation, improving airflow and ensuring every flowering site continues receiving excellent light throughout the room. It's one of my favourite moments of the grow. Everything starts feeling like a real flowering garden. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava continues reminding me that consistency often beats drama. She hasn't demanded constant attention or complicated corrections. Instead, she's simply responded to stable conditions, balanced nutrition, quality genetics, and a healthy environment by doing exactly what nature designed her to do. Watching this room slowly evolve into a complete flowering ecosystem has been just as rewarding as watching any individual plant grow. Every week the pieces fit together a little more. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding a new dimension with their under-canopy lighting system, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, Mammoth Tents for providing the perfect home, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, Prima Klima for outstanding ventilation, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, comments, and shared passion for growing continue making this 8×8 Adventure an absolute pleasure to document. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

They are looking real good. I think I may have gotten some nutrients on one plants leaves and it caused some yellowing and leaf curl, I’m hoping it straightens out.

Thank you soo much Humboltd seeds. I love your qualitty. Another my favorite indica strain. 🍀 i love this strain ❤️

58 days of flowering: I started cutting the most mature apicals 42/57. I will wait for the remaining 7-14 days. first 42: 370.5g

Probablemente en un par de días empiece con el lavado de raíces y aumente progresivamente la defoliación.

Getting there! Continuing to feed her Pride Lands Flower and GreenGro flower finisher. Add seaweed, humic acid and silica to the water. I’m thinking one more feeding and then just water and blackstrap molasses. I sure am going to miss this girl

BCG starts to become milky 👀😁

Diese Woche verlief größtenteils planmäßig und ohne größere Zwischenfälle. Leider habe ich ein paar Thripse entdeckt, was mich dazu veranlasst hat, sofort zu handeln. Ich habe die betroffenen Pflanzen mit Neemöl behandelt, um einem größeren Befall vorzubeugen. Die Pflanzen zeigen weiterhin ein gesundes Wachstum, reagieren gut auf die Pflege und entwickeln sich wie erwartet. Maßnahmen der Woche: Sichtkontrolle auf Schädlinge (Thripse entdeckt) Behandlung mit Neemöl Reguläre Pflege und Gießen wie gehabt Ausblick: Ich werde die Pflanzen in den kommenden Tagen weiter genau beobachten, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Wirkung der Neemölbehandlung. Falls nötig, folgt eine Nachbehandlung. Ansonsten läuft alles weiterhin nach Plan.

🤤🤤🤤

Have forgot this plant to be honest

I defoliated this week, in the 3rd week of flower. The stretch should be about over. Pistils and bud sites abound. I increased Tiger Bloom. Now we wait.

This week will be the last of the 18 hours of light. When the little ones have settled in on the increased light intensity. If the cycle is changed to 12/12 and then the wattage of the lamp is turned to its maximum of 300 watts. Gradually, of course. More on that later. I hope they will show their gender during the week that the bloom can be initiated. Day 67: It is time for the first flowering phase. Plant 1 shows the first characteristics of the flower or rather it becomes sexually mature. If the others follow suit this week, it is the last week of growth. Instead of cutting out the big leaves, I spread them out under the net. In this way, the light also reaches the lower shoots without stressing the plants during sexual maturity. We don't want to provoke misfortune. Day 70: 10 weeks of Vegetation. I think it's time for Bloom.

Coming into flower nicely a few are still a few weeks behind the others but I expect a full tent in a couple weeks
