In the end, I harvested 310g of dry plants, discarding all the popcorn. Not a bad result, even if I didn't reach my goal of 450g. I decided to leave a few leaves and let it re-vegetate. It's growing very quickly, and I'll soon send it back to flowering. Thank you all for following the diary and leaving likes and comments. Happy growing to all my friends.๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 57 since time change to 12/12). Hi all ๐Ÿ˜€. The inflorescences have stopped growing and are now starting to swell properly :-). The next 8-12 days will be harvested :-). Until then, she will only get the appropriate water and about 3-4 days before the harvest she will be poured a little more for the last flush. The week was poured three times with 1.2 l each. Otherwise, as always, everything was assessed and checked. I wish you all the best until the next update.

๐Ÿ’ฉHoly Crap๐Ÿ’ฉ That was so much fun , it's full on winter where I am and it kept me busy , and come on there's nothing like growing your own stuff. I had a blast as it's been at least over 10 years since my last indoor grow , and it was fun , I had used all of my old techniques and equipment and it worked out just fine , so I was glad I had a ruff idea of what to expect...... Final thoughts Gonna be honest about that grow , it should me just how far Genetics have come, 10 plus years ago before I stopped growing indoors , all we had was like lowrider auto and greenomatic auto and maybe few others but they were horrible...... but this auto produced quite well as expected it should with the size of my medium and my soil base and very little nutrients, which is what I had hoped for from the start , cause I didn't really know where to start in terms of Genetics as I have been out the game for awhile but I'm super glad with the results and some gratitude needs to be sent to CanukSeeds , they came through as it always starts and ends with elite Genetics๐Ÿ‘Œ ........... I can't wait to start my next grow diary, so keep an eye out , there's gonna be more to come , I'm going to try some really interesting cultivars........ PS. Can anyone tell me this , back in the day like 2003-4-5-6 wasn't growdiaries.com just a private forum cause if memory serves me , I was among those lucky enough to find a community that did complete grow logs, fourm style, which is where I found my growmie and Mentor Franco Loga from Greenhouse seeds , RIP BUDDY ๐Ÿ˜ƒ CANT WAIT TO START MY NEXT GROW ๐Ÿ‘‰I HAVE CREATED A PLACE FOR GROWMIES TO VISIT , SHOW OFF THERE GROWS , AND JUST HANG OUT .....๐Ÿ‘ˆ ๐Ÿ‘‰ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!๐Ÿ‘ˆ LINK IS ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs

This girl is growing like a sword โ€“ tall, slender, and cutting through the canopy with style ๐Ÿ˜… She's stretched quite a bit, and down below sheโ€™s rocking four tiny side shoots that Iโ€™m honestly not sure what to think of yet. But hey, Iโ€™m letting her do her thing. Stretch seems to be slowing down now, and I'm starting to spot the very first trichomes glistening under the light, always an exciting moment! Letโ€™s see how she continues to shape up in the coming weeks. Staying hopeful!๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon. Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned. Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

This one has been delightful to grow full of buds everywhere with very little Fan leafs can't wait to cure and tested. I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 97 grams please consider that when they comes to my scale weight i wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in night so I want to avoid mold on them.so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice Thank you for reading I will update the other details when ready have a happy grow.

She stretched more than I wanted, but well, another lesson learned with the scrog, the smell is starting to get stronger and I like it. It reminds me of the Birthday Cake smell.

๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B Week 14 โ€“ The Dark Little Unicorn Has Left the Tentโ€ฆ Big Mama's Next Chapter Awaits! ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here we are again, my friendsโ€ฆ Another Frosted Guava has left the building! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„โœ‚๏ธ Last time, we said goodbye to her sister, Frosted Guava Pheno A, as she left the tent and started her post-harvest journey. And now? It's Pheno B's turn. Our dark little unicorn. Our frosty girl. Our beautiful Big Mama. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Because yes, this girl has her own personality, her own structure, and her own story. And although the two sisters share some similarities, they certainly haven't been identical throughout this adventure. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 journey from seed. But two different seeds, two different expressions, and two beautiful girls who have given us plenty to appreciate. And now, just like her sister, Pheno B has completed her time in the tent. We took her final photographs in the grow room, moved her into the studio, photographed individual branches and flowers, explored some macro details, and created more photo stacks. Then we broke her down, removed the leaves we wanted to take off, vacuum-bagged the material, and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ That's where she is now. Resting. Waiting for the next chapter. And that next chapter will involve processing the frozen material into bubble hash. We'll document that process in future updates, explain what we're doing, and share what happens after the extraction. But we're not going to jump ahead. Today is about Frosted Guava Pheno B, her journey, her harvest day, her photographs, and the beginning of this new chapter. So let's give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves! ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐Ÿ“ข FIRST THINGS FIRST โ€“ WHY ARE WE PUTTING HARVEST DAY IN A FLOWERING WEEK? Before we get into the photographs, let's explain why we're documenting another harvest under a flowering-week update. I know some of you might look at the diary and think: "Hang on a minuteโ€ฆ isn't this a harvest report?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, my friends. It is harvest day. But GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photographs per update, and when you're documenting an entire harvest journey, those photographs disappear very quickly. We have the final photographs inside the tent. We have the studio session. We have individual branches and flower details. We have macro photography. We have photo stacks. We have the breakdown and trimming. We have the vacuum-bagging process. And we still have the extraction and everything that follows to document. That's a lot of material to squeeze into one update! So, just as we did with her sister, we're using this flowering-week entry to document the final day in the tent and the beginning of her post-harvest journey. This is an individual diary, and we want to keep her story together as clearly as possible. GrowDiaries doesn't provide a dedicated section specifically for extraction projects, so we'll use the available diary updates to document the different stages without pretending that everything happened in one day or one chapter. Depending on how much material we have, we'll continue in another update or updates. The extraction itself will have its own explanation, and we'll share the results when we actually have them. So please consider this the beginning of Big Mama's post-harvest story, not the final report. Thank you for understanding, everyone! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ A QUICK RECAP โ€“ THE 12/12 JOURNEY Let's rewind for a moment. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B has been part of our 8ร—8 Adventure, where we've been following different plants and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. And one of the most interesting parts of this project has been watching how differently plants can express themselves under a shared setup. We started these plants from seed under a 12/12 light schedule. That means we've been observing their development from the beginning under the same daily light-and-dark rhythm, rather than changing to a conventional longer vegetative schedule before flowering. And the autoflowers? Wellโ€ฆ They've certainly given us plenty to talk about! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Throughout this run, we've watched the plants develop at their own pace, build their own structures, and show their own personalities. Frosted Guava Pheno B became one of our more distinctive girls. Her darker green character, beautiful flowers, frost, and unusual flowering structures made her increasingly recognizable as the weeks went by. And, of course, her sister was showing some similar foxtailing characteristics. That doesn't prove a specific genetic explanation by itself, but it gave us an interesting pattern to observe in this shared environment. Two sisters. Two individual expressions. And plenty of reasons to keep looking closely. That's what I love about this adventure. We aren't trying to make every plant look the same. We're documenting what each one becomes. And now, Big Mama has reached the end of her flowering journey. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ 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‘‘ BIG MAMA HAS LEFT THE TENT Let's be honestโ€ฆ This girl earned her nickname. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama! She has been a beautiful presence in the room, and although she shares a genetic family with Pheno A, she's developed her own character along the way. The flowering journey is now complete for this plant. We took our last photographs of her inside the tent, documenting her where she'd spent her time growing alongside the rest of the 8ร—8 girls. Those photographs matter because they preserve the final view of the plant in her original environment. Once a plant is harvested, the structure changes. The branches are separated. The flowers are handled individually. The grow-room chapter ends, and the post-harvest chapter begins. So before doing anything else, I wanted to capture that transition. One last look at Big Mama in the tent. One last photographic record of the plant as a whole. And thenโ€ฆ It was time to move her into the studio. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 STUDIO TIME โ€“ GIVING BIG MAMA HER MOMENT After documenting her final day in the tent, we took Frosted Guava Pheno B into the studio. And this is where I get to enjoy another side of the whole adventure. Photography! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š I love documenting plants while they're growing, but the studio gives us another opportunity to explore their details. We took photographs of the plant and selected branches. We photographed individual flowers from different angles. We explored the details more closely. And, of course, we spent time creating photo stacks. Because I don't want to remember Big Mama only as a plant that stood in the tent. I want to preserve the details that made her interesting. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individual characteristics. The way she looked at the end of her flowering journey. And those photographs will become part of her permanent diary record. The grow tells us how she developed. The photographs help us look back and appreciate what she became. And for me, that's a beautiful combination. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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”ฌ MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY โ€“ GETTING CLOSER Some of the photographs from this session focus on individual flowers and smaller details. And that's where things become especially interesting for me. From a distance, you see the overall plant. Move closer, and you start noticing the individual flower structures. Get closer still, and there are details that can be easy to overlook when you're simply looking at the plant in the tent. That's one of the reasons I enjoy macro photography and stacking. It gives me a way to study and document the subject more closely. And Frosted Guava Pheno B has certainly given us something worth exploring. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฌ I also enjoy the creative side of the process. The lighting. The angles. The background. The focus. The way a small change in position can completely change how a flower looks in the final photograph. It's a different kind of work from growing, but it's still part of how I enjoy this hobby. And Big Mama deserved a proper studio session before moving on to her next 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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ PHOTO STACKING โ€“ MORE THAN ONE PICTURE If you've been following my recent updates, you already know how much I enjoy photo stacking. For anyone who hasn't come across it before, the basic idea is to capture multiple photographs of the same subject at different focus distances and combine the sharp areas into one final image. This can create a photograph with greater apparent depth of field and reveal more of the subject's details. But it's not simply a matter of pressing a button and walking away. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There's setup involved. There's lighting. There's positioning. There's capturing the individual frames. And then there's processing the photographs and checking how the final image comes together. For this session, we took individual flowers and branches into the studio and created stacks to document some of the details that caught my eye. The resulting images give us another way to appreciate Big Mama beyond the wider photographs of the whole plant. And that's what I love about this process. One plant can give you many different photographic stories. The whole plant. A branch. A flower. A macro detail. A stacked image. Each one shows something different. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ FROM PLANT TO INDIVIDUAL FLOWERS After the photographs, we moved on to the next part of the process. We broke the plant down into individual sections and removed the leaves we didn't want to retain around the flowers. This was part of preparing the material for the next stage of our project. I want to make an important distinction here. This wasn't a conventional drying-and-curing update, and we're not presenting the material as finished flower. We have taken a different route with this particular harvest. After the initial breakdown and trimming, we vacuum-bagged the material and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ That's where it is now. The plant has left the tent. The studio session is complete. The material has been prepared and stored. And the next chapter will focus on the extraction process we're planning to document. So, rather than trying to explain every part of that process here, we'll give it the attention it deserves in a future report. For now, this update is about the harvest itself and the transition from the growing environment to the next stage. 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 BAGGED, VACUUM-SEALED AND INTO THE FREEZER And nowโ€ฆ Big Mama is resting in the freezer. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ After breaking the plant down and removing the leaves we wanted to take off, we vacuum-bagged the material and placed it in the freezer. This is the preparation stage for the next part of the project. We're planning to use this frozen material for a bubble-hash extraction, and we'll document that process separately. I don't want to jump ahead and start describing results we don't have yet. The extraction hasn't been documented in this report. We haven't shown the final product. And we're not going to pretend that the story is already finished. Right now, the material is stored, and the next chapter is still waiting for us. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ This is one of those moments where the diary becomes a little different from a conventional grow report. We're not simply following a plant from seed to harvest and stopping there. We're documenting what happens next, too. And that means giving each stage its own space. Big Mama's growing chapter is finished. Her post-harvest chapter has begun. And the extraction story is still ahead of us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿซง THE NEXT CHAPTER โ€“ BUBBLE HASH So, what happens next? The plan is to document the process of turning the frozen material into bubble hash. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, bubble hash is a type of cannabis concentrate made by separating resin-bearing trichome material from plant material using ice-cold water and filtration. The process uses the difference in physical characteristics between the resin-bearing material and the rest of the plant, with filtration helping separate the collected material into different grades. It's a different project from simply drying and curing flower, which is why we want to document it separately rather than trying to squeeze it into this harvest update. We'll explain what bubble hash is, how the process works at a high level, what equipment and stages we're using, and what we observe along the way. We'll also document the drying of the collected material and what we decide to do with it afterwards. But we're not there yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซง For now, Big Mama is safely stored in the freezer, and the next chapter will begin when we're ready to carry out and document that process. I want to show the journey as it happens, step by step, rather than write the ending before we've reached 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”€ ? WHY THIS IS A DIFFERENT STORY FROM HER SISTER This is where things get interesting. Frosted Guava Pheno A and Pheno B belong to the same genetic family, but their individual diaries are telling two separate stories. Both girls have now left the tent. Both have had their harvest-day photographs. Both have moved on from the flowering stage. But the post-harvest journey we're documenting here focuses on Big Mama and what we're doing with her material next. For Pheno B, we've chosen to vacuum-bag the prepared material and store it in the freezer as part of our planned bubble-hash project. That means her next update will have a different focus from a report centred on drying and curing whole flowers. We're still documenting the plant's journey, but the next stage is a different one. And that's precisely why I want to keep her report individual. Even when two plants share a cultivar, they deserve their own records. Their development is individual. Their harvest is individual. And their post-harvest journeys can be individual, too. Two Frosted Guava sisters. Two beautiful plants. And two stories that don't need to be identical. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE CONTINUES There's something special about reaching this stage of the project. For weeks, we've been watching a room full of different plants sharing the same general environment. We've observed different structures. Different growth patterns. Different flowering expressions. Different rhythms. And now, one by one, the girls are moving into their next chapters. Frosted Guava Pheno B has completed her time in the tent. The plants still growing in the room continue their own journeys. And our documentation continues with them. That's the beauty of keeping individual diaries. Each plant gets her own timeline. Each plant gets her own photographs. Each plant gets her own story. And even after harvest, we can continue documenting what happens next. Big Mama may have left the tent, but she's still very much part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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˜‚ BIG MAMA IS RESTING โ€“ DOC HAS MORE WORK TO DO Let's be honest. Big Mama has done her part. She's grown. She's flowered. She's given us beautiful photographs. She's had her studio session. And now she's resting in the freezer. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Meanwhile, DogDoctor still has photographs to organize, stacks to process, future updates to prepare, and an extraction project to document. Apparently, the work doesn't stop just because the plant has left the tent. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿซง But that's part of the fun. Growing is one part of the journey. Photographing is another. Documenting the harvest is another. And now we have a new chapter waiting for us. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you, because I want to show not only the final outcome but also the process that gets us there. One stage at a time. One update at a time. And one beautiful Big Mama at a 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”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? The next chapter will focus on the extraction project. We'll document the bubble-hash process, explain the stages, and share what happens when we work with the frozen material. We'll also cover how we handle the collected material afterwards and what we decide to do with the final result. The amount of material we have to share will determine whether we can fit everything into one update or whether we'll need more than one. Either way, we won't rush it. We want the information and photographs to tell the story properly. And once that part of the journey is complete, we'll be able to bring everything together in a final report. For now, Big Mama is resting. The freezer is doing its job. And we're preparing for the next chapter. ?๐Ÿซง๐ŸŒฟ 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’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ BIG MAMA'S STORY ISN'T FINISHED Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno B. Harvest day. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž What a beautiful journey this girl has given us. We've watched her grow from seed under a 12/12 schedule. We've followed her individual development. We've seen her distinctive character emerge. We've admired her flowers and unusual structures. We've compared her journey with her sister's while allowing her to remain her own plant. And now, we've reached the end of her time in the tent. We took her final photographs in the grow room. We moved her into the studio. We photographed branches and flowers. We captured macro details and created photo stacks. Then we broke her down, removed the leaves we wanted to take off, vacuum-bagged the material, and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ But this isn't the final report. It's the beginning of another chapter. The material is waiting for the bubble-hash project, and we'll document that process in future updates. We'll share what we do, what we observe, and what happens afterwards. Until then, Big Mama gets to rest while we prepare the next part of the story. And I want to say something about this whole journey. Not every plant needs to end her story in exactly the same way. Not every phenotype needs to follow the same path after harvest. And not every diary needs to fit into one neat, identical format. The important thing is to document what actually happened, explain the decisions we made, and share the experience honestly. That's what we're doing here. Big Mama has her own story. Her sister has hers. And both deserve their own spotlight. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’š So let's give this beautiful girl the recognition she deserves. Thank you for the flowers, Big Mama. Thank you for the photographs. Thank you for the memories. And thank you for giving us another reason to keep exploring the many different ways these plants can express themselves. Your time in the tent is finished. But your story? It's still going. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ 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 As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share our experiences with growers around the world. And thank you for understanding why this harvest update sits under a flowering week. The photo limit means we need to divide the story into manageable chapters, and we want to document the harvest and the next stages properly rather than leave important details out. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these two beautiful sisters to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the growing-media and nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy.

And before you go, if you haven't joined us yet, you're more than welcome to come and say hello! ๐ŸŒฟ DogDoctorOfficial Community: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial Our Discord community keeps growing, and honestly, one of my favourite things about it is the people. We have conversations about the plant, growing experiences, equipment, photography, and all the little things that make this hobby so interesting. We also have community discount codes, competitions where members can win prizes, giveaways, and other activities for everyone to enjoy. But above all, we have a community that feels like family. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑ And I want to make one thing clear. You don't need to be an expert to join. You don't need years of experience. You don't need to know every technical term. You don't even need to be an active speaker. You can ask questions, share your experiences, join the conversations, or simply hang out and listen. Everyone is welcome. There's no competition over who knows the most, no need to prove yourself, and no requirement to be at a particular level. We're there because we enjoy talking about this plant, learning from each other, and sharing the journey. So if that sounds like your kind of place, come and join us. We'd love to have you with us! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you in the next chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventureโ€ฆ where one more girl has left the tent, the freezer is holding Big Mama's next chapter, the photographs are waiting to be processed, and DogDoctor has another project to bring you. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ The harvest is complete. The next story is waiting. And Big Mama? She's not finished with us yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿซง Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š

Hello Diary, I am truly privileged to be one of the first to try growing this revolutionary new strain. My dear friends at RQS sent me this new hybrid seed at the beginning of the year and I'm really looking forward to seeing the result. Let's see what they say about this new strain. Medusa is a true F1 hybrid created from pure, inbred cannabis lines. She boasts uniform growth traits, mouthwatering aromas and flavors, and plenty of potency. Combining genetics from inbred lines deriving from Sugar Magnolia, a thick and sweet indica, and American Beauty, a fast, fruity hybrid loved for its well-balanced, positive high, the result is an autoflowering F1 variety that produces fresh flavors, a unique cannabinoid profile, and large yields. Medusa F1 seeds produce elongated autoflowering plants with long, strong branches and well-spaced internodes. Plants regularly grow up to 80โ€“85 cm tall and boast a fast flowering time of just 42โ€“45 days (72 days from germination to harvest). Thanks to her genetics, Medusa F1 produces plenty of thick flowers with big, swollen calyxes that make for very easy trimming. Medusa F1 is very stable, handling stress and unfavorable growing conditions with ease, although she is somewhat susceptible to Botrytis, so make sure to keep tabs on the humidity in your grow room/garden. SET-UP ON MY LITTLE FARM: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Ventilation - TT Silent-M 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan X 2 Humidifier - Beurer LB 45 Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix Pot - 11L Air pots Seed - Royal Queen Seeds Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY: 12/01/2023 Planting. I prepare everything I need for planting in advance. I fill the AirPot to a little more than half and add 50g of Easy Boost Organic nutrition in pellets and mix with the soil, then add more Easy Roots Rhizobacter and Easy Roots - Mycorrhiza mix and fill the pot to the top with soil. After that, I soak the soil well with water, make a hole in the middle and carefully insert the seed into the hole with gloves and cover it. After doing this with all three pots, I placed them in the grow box and waited for them to sprout. The lights are 35 cm away from the pots. The humidity is not high, but as soon as the plants sprout, I will put in a humidifier. 14/01/2023 I moistened the soil a little with water. I need to keep the soil moist. 16/01/2023 The first plant has sprouted. We are still waiting for the other two. 17/01/2023 The second plant has sprouted, but I'm still waiting for the third. 18/01/2023 Unfortunately, the third plant did not sprout, so this time there will be only two plants on the "Farm". 21/01/2023 First joint watering. Each plant received about 1 liter of water. That's all for this stage, see you soon and thanks in advance for your support.

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48โ€ in height at maturity.
