🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno A | Week 4 The adventure continues… Every week this project reminds me why I love growing from seed. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients, the same lighting and exactly the same environment, each phenotype writes its own story. That’s exactly what this diary is about. This is Godfather OG – Pheno A from Zamnesia, grown as part of my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different genetics are all being cultivated using the 12/12 from seed method. The goal isn’t to chase massive vegetative plants, but to discover each cultivar’s natural expression while keeping everything under identical conditions. Week 4 has been all about building structure. The roots are now well established, the branches are strengthening, and the plant is beginning to reveal the architecture that will support the coming stretch. Every day she becomes a little easier to read, and so far she’s telling a very promising story. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development This phenotype has developed into a beautiful, compact plant with excellent vigor. The overall colour is rich and healthy, while the newest growth shows that vibrant lime-green tone typical of fast, actively dividing tissue. One thing that immediately catches my attention is how symmetrical she is becoming. The internodal spacing remains tight, producing a dense canopy filled with potential flowering sites. The stem is noticeably thick and sturdy, which is always something I like to see before entering the real flowering stretch. Strong foundations usually lead to strong harvests. Large fan leaves are doing an incredible job powering photosynthesis while shading portions of the canopy that aren’t yet ready for full exposure. Overall, she looks calm, healthy and completely comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training this week remained focused on Low Stress Training (LST). Instead of removing leaves, I’m continuing to gently reposition branches and tuck larger fan leaves underneath developing shoots. This simple technique allows more light to reach secondary growth without sacrificing valuable solar panels. The beauty of leaf tucking is that nothing is permanently removed. The plant keeps all of its energy-producing leaves while the lower branches receive enough light to begin competing for canopy space. Every day the branches become a little more flexible and easier to position. As they continue to harden, they’ll naturally hold their new shape, creating a wider and more even canopy. It’s a slow process, but one that consistently pays off later in flower. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The nutrition remains simple and consistent. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution adjustments: * pH: 6.1 * EC: 1.35 mS/cm Nothing dramatic has changed because there simply isn’t any need to fix something that is already working. The plant is responding beautifully, producing vigorous new growth without any signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. The root zone appears very healthy, allowing the canopy to expand steadily every day. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues to perform exceptionally well despite the warm weather. Environmental conditions • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C While daytime temperatures are certainly on the higher side, maintaining stable humidity, good airflow and constant irrigation allows the plants to continue growing without showing signs of heat stress. Healthy roots make an enormous difference during warmer periods, and so far this room is handling those conditions remarkably well. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to continue guiding the canopy through gentle LST while allowing the secondary branches to catch up with the main leaders. If she continues developing at this pace, she should enter the flowering stretch with an even canopy, excellent branch distribution and plenty of future bud sites already exposed to light. For now, patience remains the best training technique. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed continues to be one of the most fascinating experiments I’ve ever undertaken. Every phenotype responds differently. Some stretch early, others remain compact, while others completely surprise me halfway through the cycle. That’s exactly why I enjoy documenting every single plant individually. Watching each phenotype express its unique personality under identical conditions teaches me far more than simply chasing yield. Every week brings another lesson, and every diary becomes another chapter in that learning process. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey, whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve just discovered the diary. Thank you to those who leave kind comments, ask thoughtful questions, share knowledge, and even to the critics who encourage me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make this community stronger. A special thank you goes to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, compare and learn from one another.

Finally, thank you for taking the time to follow this 8×8 adventure. I hope these weekly updates inspire you to keep growing, keep learning, and most importantly, enjoy every step of the journey. Until next week… Growers Love and Happy growing! 🌱💚

June 21st - they are doing great with the newa ac unit. temps are saying around 25-26. They are just growing away. I decided this week I would swap there nutrients for transition to flower. I watered them today with the first mix of the recommended transition to flower. June 22nd - Still growing away, they seem to be picking up growth quite a bit now! June 23rd - Starting to explode with growth! Everything looks healthy. I have turned the lights up to about 85% now. Gave them a feeding today, again with the transition to flower recommendation. June 24th - Still growing like crazy. They are on a 12/12 schedule and it looks like they're on there way to flower! Junes 25th - Lots of growth in the last 5 days. They have perked up a ton, grown a ton of fan leafs and its almost time to do some more lst or defoliation. Gave them another feeding today. I have decided to just feed with every watering as it is the manufactures recommendation. June 26th - Took the girls out and did some LST on them again as they were starting to become pretty uneven. Unfortunately I only took pictures/videos of the one plant. You can definitely see the growth since the start of this week. They seem to be getting pretty dry by the morning so I have been feeding roughly every 24-36 hours making sure not to overwater. June 27th -They popped back up overnight and are just growing away. Another watering today. Roughly 3L per plant. Again making sure not to overwater.

Last week of vegatation mode!

For germination I took the seeds and did the paper towel method and then once they developed tap roots I placed them into Root Plugs. Then I placed them directly into the AC Infinity Seed Starter for best results until they reach Seedling phase.

2of them was suuuuper frosty but i lost pictures bid are still not dry yet so will update soon

-Esta semana simplemente las he regado un par de veces con un litro y medio cada una. -A una de las GG ya estoy haciéndole el flush final -Empiezan a enfermarse las hojas. Puede ser falta de calcio, potasio, magnesio...no lo se. Les he echado uns buena dosis de potasio y las que están más afectadas les he echado sgua limpia y un poco de potasio. -una de las GG le falta poco para cortar. El resto les quedará poco menos de un mes

Day 49 - the plant stretch 8cm and morę buds formating, the plants start spreading nice smell and the buds should start getting bigger and fat in upcoming weeks.

We just build +1 Room, about 9Sq meter with 2000w HPS. We decide, cos we see a lot more of potence by this genetic i have to tell now, ~less is more~ ..if i talk about ammount pro sqM... As well we gonna change all small 6L pots for 11L. Where i see our reserve is, that we need to cut much more, of lower level‘s „bat‘s“ in VEG.. ⚠️ actually i know: „dont touch girl in bloom“ , but it was necesary last week.. really necessry to cut all that shit stuff on „bottom“ ... 330 girls on 16m2 in 6L & 11L pots

Woche 9 Tag 57-63 / Blüte Tag 29-35 Luftfeuchtigkeit 47,8 Tag 25,8 Nacht 21,3 PPFD 879 DLI 38 Höhe 55 VPD 1,38 Lampe Abstand 44cm Lampe auf 80% Die Daten entnehme ich immer am Ende der Woche von meinem Pulse Grow, kann nicht sagen wie genau die Werte sind. Der PPFD Wert wird ab jetzt immer an den acht höchsten Punkten gemessen und der Durchschnitt ermittelt, alles bei einem offenen Zelt. Anscheinend hat die Lampe zu viel Power und die Dame kommt mit der Nährstoff Aufnahme nicht nach. An BT 32 gab es mal 2ml/l PK 13/14 von Plagron. bin gespannt ob ich alles richtig analysiert habe oder ob ein totaler Griff ins Klo war :) Meinte damit die Braunen Flecken auf den unteren Blättern siehe Bild! In den nächsten Wochen könnte es mit den Temperaturen Probleme geben. Wird wohl die magischen 26 Grad Celsius überschreiten Tagsüber. Da es mein Erster Grow seit mehr als 20 Jahren ist kann ich noch nicht viel sagen zur Genetik, scheint sehr stabil zu sein und kommt mit Stress bis jetzt gut klar. Paar Mutationen sind zu sehen Siehe Bilder! Hab von einigen Kollegen gehört das die ganzen neuen Genetiken sehr sehr zickig werden können was ich zur PBR bis jetzt nicht sagen kann. Ist das normal ? Blütenkelche auf der Blüte und aufn Blatt? Was sagt ihr dazu?

Start of week 6 of flowering for 4 Getting really frosty !!! Coming to and end of week 6 of flowering Tangie ,gg4,sweet creme and glueberry all.started.to.get flushed!!! Exciting.for.chop . The hazes are all looking amazing . Forgotten cookies is amazing =). Just added grapey walter and douple grape. =)

Buried her, and moved the light closer...

Had to move her to a smaller space with a weaker light. But she has the entire light to herself. I ended up giving her one more dose of cannacoco A and B and the pk 12/14 also by cannacoco. Will be flushing her with ph’s water at 6ish going forward. I may harvest her top buds first and give the lower buds some time to catch up.

Finally some bud development... The kriticals are not enjoying the high EC level... but that's life...😏 Been difficult to low the Hr level, too much moister in the air by here! Living beside the sea in winter its not easy! Just hope to get things straight...🙏

Day 49 - Added a 1500 mL dehumidifier to the tent setup in an attempt to keep the relative humidity below or around 50%. Day 50 - Lady 2 is starting to smell really fruity when I put my nose right up to the colas. I can't wait to see how she'll smoke. Day 51 - The dehumidifier is collecting water from the air, but the tent is reading above 60%RH right now. It did just rain in my area so that definitely isn't helping my humidity control. I think it would be higher without the dehumidifier. I'll be checking periodically to see if it was worth buying that small dehumidifier. Day 53 - Right now my tent is at around 52%RH and the dehumidifier has collected around 800-900 mL of water, so averaging about 200-225 mL of water a day. I think that's not to bad and will help me keep the humidity lower than outside humidity.

Last week for girls. I will flush them perfectly :)

Day 56 these autos are running 12/12 because of the northern light being photo period

After almost 1 week with my girls with MarsHydro 100w znd a proper tender with

Hi guys So here is my 10 plant auto run from fastbuds 420 genetics. I will update weekly on this one. So I'm going to be using 3 gal fabric pots filled with biobizz lightmix soil. I will be putting into solo cups after the 18 hour soak then transferring them to there for ever pots. Im looking forward to this run and trying to get 20oz + dry and cured out of this 4x4 tent grow. Part 2 of germination in operation in solo cups with root juice. Hopefully 10 out of 10 pop.

Week 8 was good . The ladies are doing great. By the middle of week 9 Banana Purple Punch and Tropicana Cookie will be harvest.. Forbidden Runtz still have 2 more weeks to go.
