START WEEK 4/17/22 Not doing anything real crazy. Over time I seem to have removed most of the bigger fans. I am beginning to get an idea of how I want to defoliate what I want the canopy to look like. Having said that... these girls have been very hard to keep under control. I have definitely had some great OJT on my first grow and I still have a lot left to learn. All the plants are "icing up" real nicely, combined with the silver reflective walls everything looks and feels real CoooooooooooooL.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ™ +I think the garden is doing well and overall is very healthy +ppm 1200 +pH 5.9 +temp and humidity are all over the place according to the passing cold fronts. The other day temp was 79 F and Humidity was 74% Today it is 54 F and 58 % *Ordering seeds today *Looking at one of the close ups, I think my plant looks like the description of Platinum OG that I have read about and viewed... I must be doing something right. Hey, the Neon Carrot colors are super pretty. *Oddly enough the smell is beginning to change... at least on the lemon tipped plant, from gas to fruity. Go figure. ? Out of Terpinator, might throw some Bud Candy at them. However, I may be getting close. AS ALWAYS ANY COMMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD, OR ADVICE, ONLY GOOD :) ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

These plants were great. I messed things up a bit but they still turned out a half decent yield. The taste and smell of the final product are great. I am growing one of these plants in my greenhouse and I canโ€™t wait to see what it produces as I donโ€™t have the small space to confine the plant. I love Humboldt genetics and canโ€™t wait to grow more.

The girls have grown so much and they already smell pretty good. I'm trying to decide if I should SCROG. I have a trellis net but it's just a net, not the boxy thing that I've seen others with. What do yall think, should I SCROG? GDP2 is in her 5th week. If she were the same age as GDP1 and BK, I'd flip them next week but I'll try waiting at least another couple of weeks to give her some time to grow a little more although she's catching up with the other 2 height. I'll be posting more throughout the week. 7/4/22: Defoliation... I know it's needed but they're my babies.... lololol 7/7/22: Look at my girls... they don't look like they've recently been defoliated. You can tell which ones are the Granddaddy Purples... they have a purple tint to them. The Bubba Kush is super green... ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜

9. Woche Sie ist wirklich sehr hungrig, also ich gebe schon relativ viel Dรผnger. Ich habe mir den Wurzelballen von der Cherry Cola RF3 ausgeschaut und da sah es gut aus von der Wurzelstruktur nach dem Mainlining. Sie hat auch einen 15mm dicken Stamm und die Verzweigung zum Mainlining sind auch schรถn geworden. Also feede ich sie einfach weiter. Ich wollte ihr noch 3-4 Wochen geben ca, denke das braucht sie auch noch ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿคค

๐ŸŒ™ Harvest Report โ€“ โ€œThe Dark Queenโ€™s Final Bowโ€ Week 13 from seed | Week 9 Flower | 12/12 from seed And just like thatโ€ฆ the journey of our White Widow from Zamnesia reaches its crown. A legend reborn, a dark queen grown straight from seed to bloom โ€” no pauses, no compromises, just pure rhythm and instinct. ๐ŸŒฑ From Seed to Harvest โ€“ A Quick Recap For those just joining us, this girl began her story under a 12/12 light cycle from seed, or more precisely, 11/13 for our personal shuttle. Instead of growing through a long vegetative phase, she learned to optimize herself from day one โ€” adapting, building strength, and focusing entirely on her single mission: to bloom. This is the essence of the 12/12-from-seed method โ€” the plant is โ€œbornโ€ in flowering conditions, believing the season is ending. Nature responds by compressing growth and flowering into one continuous process. Itโ€™s a fascinating experiment in plant adaptation โ€” a balance of speed, structure, and survival. And she did it like a champion. Compact. Dense. Frosted beyond belief. She carried herself with grace โ€” a short, shy plant maybe, but full of power, soul, and personality. ๐ŸŒฟ Her Final Numbers & Harvest Process At the end of her journey, she blessed us with 68 grams of dry flowers โ€” and not a gram wasted. Every bud dense, sticky, and shining with resin. The harvest was done whole-plant, to maintain moisture uniformity and slow the dry โ€” two full weeks at 60ยฐF / 60% RH (the classic 60/60 method). When the stems finally made that satisfying click, it was time for the hand trim โ€” using the Trim Bin, of course. From the trim, we collected kief using the traditional Moroccan drum technique, resulting in a beautiful golden gift. Finger hash was dense and fragrant โ€” a sign of her rich trichome layer. After trimming, she was carefully stored in Grove Bags 2.0 โ€” designed to balance internal humidity for a perfect cure. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Curing & Smoke Experience After two months of curing, this girl transformed into a true vintage classic. Even after all that time, the buds stayed dense, sticky, and aromatic. The dark green and purple tones deepened, covered in a white, frosty coat. The aroma is nostalgic โ€” earthy spice and pine with that unmistakable 90s energy. On the smoke: pure, clean, and smooth. No chlorophyll harshness, no grassy tones โ€” just a balanced, velvety inhale that brings you straight back to the days of Amsterdamโ€™s golden era. Sheโ€™s powerful yet relaxing, joyful yet introspective โ€” an old-school soul wrapped in modern perfection. Some of her most special buds are sealed and resting in small Grove Bags, stored cool for special moments. A treasure chest of memories and medicine. ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrition Recap Throughout her life, she thrived under a carefully balanced recipe: Aptus: Regulator, CalMag Boost, All-In-One Liquid Plagron: Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation This combination created harmony between mineral support and organic stimulation, helping her push both flavor and resin production โ€” especially critical under a 12/12 from seed cycle. ๐Ÿ’ก Gear & Environment She grew beneath the Future of Grow Black Series 600W LED and the ThinkGrow LED bars, all managed through the Trolmaster ecosystem. The lighting schedule featured Emerson-effect reds โ€” activated 15 minutes before and after the main lights โ€” simulating sunrise and sunset for increased photosynthetic efficiency and resin production. Photos were captured using the loyal Sony a6000, swapping between macro and standard lenses to showcase her dark beauty, frosty density, and every glimmering detail. ๐ŸŒธ Final Reflection This grow was a test, yes โ€” but it became a lesson in evolution. A seed born into 12/12 doesnโ€™t complain or wait; she adapts. She listens to natureโ€™s rhythm, grows fast, focuses hard, and gives everything she has. The yield was modest, but the quality โ€” beyond words. And the message clear: sometimes less time means more intent, more purity, more heart. ๐ŸŒ Gratitude & Good Vibes To Zamnesia, for carrying the legend and keeping the 90s alive. To Aptus and Plagron, for fueling life with balance and flavor. To Future of Grow, ThinkGrow, and Trolmaster, for lighting the path. And to the GrowDiaries community, to the lovers, the haters, the old souls, and the new followers โ€” thank you all for being part of this. You can see her full journey in motion โ€” from seed to Dark Queen โ€” in glorious 4K on YouTube. Because some stories deserve to be seen as much as theyโ€™re told. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Closing Thought โ€œEvery seed carries a story โ€” but only the light reveals its language.โ€ Until the next run, my dear friends โ€” the next genetics, the next rhythm, the next evolution. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿง  P.S. โ€“ The Importance of Drying & Curing Drying and curing are often underestimated โ€” yet they are as vital as the entire growth process. You can grow the most beautiful plant in the world, but if sheโ€™s rushed at this stage, all the aroma, flavor, and smoothness can vanish in days. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Drying The goal of drying is not just to remove moisture โ€” itโ€™s to allow the plantโ€™s internal chemistry to finish its work. When you dry slow and steady at 60ยฐF / 60% RH, you give enzymes and bacteria time to break down leftover chlorophyll and sugars that cause harshness. This is why the โ€œ60/60 ruleโ€ is so cherished: it keeps terpenes alive and smooths out the smoke. Youโ€™ll know sheโ€™s ready when stems make that soft, crisp snap instead of bending. ๐Ÿฏ Curing Curing begins where drying ends โ€” in sealed containers or Grove Bags, ideally stored around 60% humidity. During these weeks (or months, if you have patience), moisture equalizes throughout the buds, creating a perfectly even texture. Inside, slow oxidation and continued enzymatic activity refine the flavor profile โ€” turning raw plant aroma into deep, complex notes. The reward? A smoother inhale, richer aroma, cleaner burn, and overall more mature experience. Itโ€™s not just drying; itโ€™s aging your craft โ€” much like wine or cheese. ๐Ÿ’š Patience transforms product into passion. Two weeks of drying and at least a month (or two!) of curing will elevate any harvest from good to unforgettable. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

๐ŸŒธ Week 12 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed, and we are finally reaching the end of this pheno hunt. It has been an exciting journey with plenty of highs, but unfortunately also a few setbacks during the final weeks. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: Unfortunately, Pheno #1 didn't make it to the finish line. Several buds developed bud rot, and rather than risking further contamination, I decided the best option was to remove and dispose of the entire plant. Pheno #3 never fully recovered after I had to remove multiple main colas earlier in flower because they were growing into the SANlight fixture. That stress significantly reduced its flower production, and in the end it simply wasn't worth keeping until harvest. Pheno #4 and #5 have now been harvested and are hanging to dry. Unfortunately, Pheno #4 accidentally snapped during handling, so I had no choice but to harvest it immediately. Luckily, it was already mature enough for harvest. That leaves Pheno #2 and Pheno #6 as the final two plants still standing in the tent. They are continuing to finish their flowering cycle, and I'm expecting Pheno #2 to be ready for harvest sometime next week. ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature: 31ยฐC Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% ๐ŸŒฟ Final thoughts: Even though not every phenotype made it to the finish line, that's exactly what a pheno hunt is about. Every plant tells a different story, and every run teaches something new. Some phenos exceeded my expectations, while others showed weaknesses under the exact same conditions. Now the focus shifts to the final harvests, drying, curing, and, of course, the smoke test. I'm especially excited to compare Pheno #4, #5, #2, and #6 once everything is properly cured to see which one truly deserves the top spot. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which remaining pheno do you think will finish as the winner of this Gorilla Cookies Auto pheno hunt?

Nirvana is interpreted as awakening from the illusion of separation and the limitations of time and space, effectively "seeing" the underlying code of existence. In Buddhism, Nirvana is described as the "unconditioned" (asankhata), a reality beyond dependent origination (cause and effect). This aligns with the concept of a fundamental, timeless "code" that exists before material manifestation. Some interpretations equate the stillness of Nirvana with the quantum vacuum, a state of "zero energy" which, however, holds unlimited potential for manifestation. In quantum mechanics, a quantum system remains a "wave" of possibilities until observed. The "on-demand" aspect is often linked to the ability of a highly developed, enlightened consciousness (a "pure observer") to collapse this wave into a desired state, interacting directly with the underlying quantum reality. This view implies that by breaking free from the ego and mental conditioning, one gains mastery over the energetic, or vibrational, foundation of reality. The feeling of oneness in nirvana is explained through [quantum entanglement], suggesting all things are connected, and therefore, an enlightened mind can interact with any point in the universe. Traditionalists might argue that Nirvana is not about gaining control or having the power to "manifest on demand" (which can be a function of ego), but rather the total cessation of craving and the surrender of the ego, bringing an end to the desire to control reality. The spiritual path is an evolution from being controlled by the "code" (samsara/suffering) to understanding the code and, eventually, becoming the author of one's own. With the awareness of how "code" functions, one takes full responsibility for their life, making conscious choices rather than reacting impulsively. Thoughts, words, and actions are purposefully aligned with higher values (truth, love, purpose), effectively rewriting one's destiny. Humidity of the air dictates the moisture in the medium, which dictates the rate of pull from the terracotta stakes, 16 in total. Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC): An ecological concept referring to the pathway of water moving from the soil, through the plant, and into the atmosphere. Terracotta (unglazed, low-fired clay) is highly porous, acting as a breathable, permeable membrane that transports water based on the moisture gradient between the potting medium (soil) and the surrounding air. White terracotta and brown terracotta often have different pore sizes and overall porosity, primarily driven by differences in clay composition, impurities, and firing temperatures. While both are considered porous, brown terracotta often has higher iron content and impurities that behave as fluxes, affecting how the pores form during firing, while white terracotta is generally derived from more refined clays, with smaller pores making it more suited to pure water. This mechanism is driven by capillary action and evaporation. When the surrounding soil is dry, the terracotta acts as a wick, pulling water out of the pot and into the soil. If the soil is very saturated, the terracotta absorbs water from the soil and allows it to evaporate from its outer surface, increasing the drying rate of the soil. Terracotta tends to keep the potting mix at an optimal saturation point, wicking up more water when the outside surface evaporates water into the air. The greater the difference in moisture between the soil and the outside air, the faster the water transfers through the ceramic. In low humidity and hot weather, the evaporation rate from the terracotta surface is high, creating a rapid drying effect. Newer terracotta pots often have a denser, lighter-toned structure that is less porous than traditional, red-orange terracotta, slowing down the moisture transfer rate. Over time, dissolved salts from fertilizer or tap water build up and block the pores, reducing the permeability of the clay. Water is all that is used or needed, thanks to the biochar and the massive storage bank of nutrients. Just waiting until something creeps up. Clay pot irrigation (Ollas), an ancient farming practice, utilizes this property by burying unglazed jars in the soil, allowing water to slowly seep into the surrounding soil only when the soil dries out.

Day 90 since seed touched soil. Girl is on final stretch, took all nutes out last watering. Today gave 6.3 phed water for last time, maybe if few other girls will show signs of bulking, ill do one more watering. Last week installed dehumidifier, so all environment is way better. Most mature girl from all, youngest, but fastest to bulk up. Cant wait to take her out from scrog and see real beauty of her. Happy Growing !!!

Itโ€™s the 1st week of flower I flipped the plants to 12/12 a few days ago. There is a lot going on and a lot of cool and amazing things coming in the near future. Make sure to check out my YouTube page. I bought me a DJI gimbal this week. Might be my new favorite toy. The temps are starting to break for the summer. I donโ€™t see it being very long until winter is here and itโ€™s time to use a heater and not an ac unit. All of the plants are healthy. The plants have all grown so well I turned down the light intensity a bit today the plants didnโ€™t seem like they was starting to strech very much. Hopefully the lower light intensity will make them strech out just a bit

best cannabis I ever grew and smoked. Others agree. This is a cup winner I would win with no competition. 3 months harvested, 90% consumed. Will run more genetics and future cross, backcross. Feels like energy drinks, positive, 100% youre high and lit, extreme ripped. Smell is slight citrus, this is very sweet tasting and smelling because of my methods of growing. Oozing sticky like an industrial adhesive. Daytime smoke, ripped no couchlock. For heavy daily smoker this is above your level of comprehension, good luck finishing 0.5g session. 10/10 all categories. 4 months after harvest video macro, this is what 40% looks like

๐Ÿ’š Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 11 | She Does What She Wants ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this girl... ๐Ÿ˜‚ Honestly... She's doing whatever the fuck she wants. And I love it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's growing tall. She's growing beautifully. She's stacking. She's building those flowers exactly the way she wants to build them. And we're basically standing here watching her work while occasionally saying: "Okay, girl... do your thing." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because that's really what it feels like with this phenotype now. She's found her rhythm. She's moving. She's developing. She's getting heavier. And she's doing it without asking for permission. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight again. Because there are only good things to talk about this week. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 WEEK 11 โ€“ SHE'S MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Last week we talked about this girl being the little plant that refused to stay little. Well... I think we've officially moved past that conversation. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's tall. She's substantial. She's carrying a beautiful amount of flowering structure. And she's moving at a really nice pace. Not the fastest plant in the room. Not the slowest. She's right there in the middle of the rhythm we've created. Some girls are moving a little faster. Some are taking a little more time. And Pheno B? She's somewhere comfortably in the middle. And honestly... she looks fantastic. That's something I really appreciate about this stage of the 8ร—8 Adventure. The plants aren't all moving at exactly the same speed. But they're all moving. They're all developing. They're all expressing themselves. And this girl is doing it 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‘‘ DOING WHAT THE FUCK 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”€ I'm going to keep the language this week because honestly... there's no better description. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's doing what the fuck she wants. The branches are growing where they want. The flowers are developing where they want. The structure is becoming what she wants it to become. And we're not trying to force her into some perfect shape. We're assisting. That's it. The plant is doing the work. We're providing the environment. We're providing the support when she needs it. We're keeping the system running. We're observing. And when she tells us: "Okay, I need a little help here..." we help. But we're not trying to tell her how to be Amnesia Haze Pheno B. She already knows. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ 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 FLOWERS ARE 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 honestly... this is what I love most about her right now. The flower structure. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒธ Look at the way those flowers are developing throughout the plant. They're not just sitting there as individual little flowering points anymore. They're becoming structures. They're stacking. They're gaining volume. They're creating those beautiful vertical lines of development that make this girl so enjoyable to look at. And the more she develops... the more obvious her architecture becomes. You can see the plant's rhythm in the flowers. You can see where she's decided to build. You can see how the branches are carrying those developing structures. And I really like what she's doing. Very much. She's creating her own design. We're simply lucky enough to document it. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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”ฅ THE STACKING 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 my favourite part of her this week. The stacking. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ There is something incredibly satisfying about watching flowers begin to build on top of one another along the branches. Week by week... you start seeing more structure. More definition. More density. More presence. And with Pheno B, I really like the way the flowers are developing along her architecture. She's not trying to make one giant statement. She's building a whole series of beautiful flowering structures throughout the plant. And that gives her a really interesting appearance. You can follow a branch with your eyes... and discover flower after flower after flower. It's beautiful. It's becoming substantial. And she's still got plenty of story left to write. 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 TALL, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY 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”€ One of the things I really enjoy about this girl is that she doesn't feel like she's trying to imitate anybody else. She's tall. She's around 135 cm. She's got her own architecture. She's got her own branching pattern. She's got her own way of stacking. And she's completely comfortable being herself. That's what I want to see. Because if every plant in this room looked identical... we'd lose half the fun. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Instead... we have different heights. Different structures. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. Different personalities. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B has definitely established hers. She's the girl who looked at an 11-litre pot and apparently decided: "Yeah, that's plenty." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Then proceeded to grow into a beautiful, tall flowering plant anyway. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ?

Because the plant doesn't look like she's trying to fit into a small container. She looks like she simply decided the container was irrelevant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's built herself above it. She's filled the space. She's created substantial flowering structure. And she's continuing to move. The pot may have been one of the experiments... but the plant is clearly writing the results. And her result so far is: "I'll be fine." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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. SAME PHOTONS.

We're treating the room as one ecosystem. The same general environment. The same lighting philosophy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional foundation. The same 12/12 schedule. And yet... every plant interprets it differently. Pheno B is receiving the same photons as her neighbours. But she's building her own architecture with them. She's taking that light... and turning it into leaves. Branches. Flowers. Structure. And eventually... hopefully... a beautiful finished plant. That's the experiment. Same stage. Different performers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก 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 NEW LIGHTING SETUP 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 upgraded lighting setup remains one of the big changes in the room. We now have two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures helping expand the lighting capability. Rather than running everything at maximum output, we're controlling the intensity. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug giving us around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position. And this girl is clearly making use of that environment. She's developing. She's stacking. She's filling her structure. She's catching photons... and apparently turning them into more flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ 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 PLANT DOES THE WORK 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 is something I've really learned through this project. Sometimes we growers get too focused on what we're doing. We changed this. We adjusted that. We moved this. We added that. We trained here. We trimmed there. But eventually... there comes a point where the plant takes over. And that's where I feel we are with Pheno B. The major structural work has already been done. The framework is there. The branches are there. The flowers are there. Now she's building. And our job is mostly to keep the system around her stable. Good environment. Consistent irrigation. Appropriate nutrition. Light. Air movement. Observation. And support when necessary. The plant does the rest. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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’จ LET HER GROW โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's why I don't feel the need to constantly intervene with this girl. She's doing beautifully. She's not asking us to reinvent the room. She's not asking us to change everything. She's simply growing. And honestly? Sometimes the best thing you can do is get out of the way. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Let her grow. Let her stack. Let her build. Let her decide where those flowers are going. We're here to assist. Not to micromanage every millimetre of the plant. And Pheno B seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. 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 AND THE FROST IS STILL COMING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Of course... we can't forget the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ She's continuing to develop beautiful resin coverage throughout the flowering structures. And as those flowers build, the frost becomes increasingly noticeable. This is another characteristic I really enjoy watching on her. The structure is beautiful. The stacking is beautiful. But then you get closer... and suddenly the flowers have another layer of detail. Tiny crystalline structures. Resin-covered surfaces. Frost catching the light. And that's when the camera starts becoming dangerous again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because one photograph becomes ten. Ten becomes thirty. And suddenly you're standing there photographing one flower from every possible angle. 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 IS FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT 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 that's exactly why I love having these weekly reports. Because if you only looked at her today, you'd say: "Beautiful plant." But when you compare her with the earlier weeks... you see the journey. The structure is more developed. The flowers are larger. The stacking is clearer. The plant has more presence. The whole thing feels more substantial. Photography gives us the snapshots. The diary connects those snapshots. And together... we get the story. That's what makes this project so enjoyable. We're not simply looking at the finished plant. We're watching her become 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”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME UPDATE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As with the rest of the room, we've increased the nutrition this week. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L 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 solution values are around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And again... we're not creating a completely separate world for her. She's part of the same room. Same overall feeding strategy. Same environmental foundation. And she's responding beautifully. No complaints. No drama. Just growth. 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 ROOM 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 continues around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

She's moving at a very comfortable pace. Some girls are moving faster. Some are moving slower. And Pheno B? She's right there. Doing her thing. Growing. Stacking. Developing. Getting heavier. Getting frostier. And doing it without making the room complicated. She's simply following her own rhythm. And I really like the rhythm she's chosen. 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 DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE FASTEST 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 another thing I appreciate about this project. We don't need every plant to be the fastest. We don't need every plant to be the tallest. We don't need every plant to produce the biggest flowers. We need them to show us who they are. And Pheno B has done exactly that. She's not necessarily trying to win the race. She's simply running her own race. And right now... she's running it beautifully. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 ANOTHER PHENOTYPE REVEAL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Every week, I feel like we're getting a little more information about who she really is. At first: "Small pot." Then: "Wait... she's getting tall." Then: "Okay... she's really flowering." Then: "Look at that stacking." And now: "Wow... this is a beautiful plant." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š That's the journey. The phenotype gradually reveals itself. And I think Pheno B is becoming increasingly easy to recognize. Beautiful structure. Beautiful flowers. Strong vertical development. A really nice stacking pattern. And an overall appearance that makes you want to stop and look. 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 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”€ At this point... I'm simply watching. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm watching those flowers build. I'm watching the stacking. I'm watching the resin. I'm watching the plant handle its increasing weight. I'm watching the branches. And I'm watching what she decides to do next. Because honestly... she's already shown us that she's perfectly capable of surprising us. So I'm not going to try to predict every step. Let's just see what she does. She's been making good decisions so far. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ 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€“ LET HER DO HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And honestly... I love this girl. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's tall. She's beautiful. She's moving. She's stacking. She's building. She's getting heavier. She's getting frostier. And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm. She's not the fastest girl in the room. She's not the slowest. She's right there in the middle... and she's doing beautifully. And perhaps the thing I like most is that we're not really telling her what to do anymore. We're assisting. We're supporting. We're keeping the environment stable. We're providing the photons. We're providing the nutrition. And then... she does the rest. She's growing where she wants. She's stacking where she wants. She's building flowers the way she wants. She's doing what the fuck she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ And I wouldn't have it any other way. Because that's the beauty of growing. You can create the environment. You can provide the tools. You can observe. You can support. But ultimately... the plant is going to be the plant. And Pheno B? She's being a beautiful one. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers stack. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to do next. Because if the last few weeks have taught us anything... it's that she's going to do exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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”€ As always, thank you so much 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 them with growers around the world.

Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to remind me that plants don't need us to write their entire story. We create the stage. They perform. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŽญ And Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's putting on a beautiful show. Tall. Beautiful. Flower-loaded. Frosty. Stacking. Growing. And completely comfortable doing things her own way. So this week... the spotlight belongs to her. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Let her shine. Let her stack. Let her grow.
