This week has been such a great week, as you can see compared to last week they have shot up and really spreaded out! Finally rained a good bit last night so put some feed on them and this rain will have washed it into them. Next few days need to get down and put some netting over then try get them spread out bit more before this stretch comes. When potted in ground mixed soil with some charge and bone meal so think theyโ€™ve hit some of that with the growth theyโ€™ve shown this week looking really good and hope they keep it up! Happy gorilla growing ๐ŸŒฑ

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect thatโ€™ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. Itโ€™s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. Itโ€™s a top-notch resin producer that doesnโ€™t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40'sโ„‰, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 4/4- Day one for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF! I initially soaked the seed in lukewarm tap water for 24 hours, at which time the shell had split and a root tip was visible. I then transferred the seed to a pre-soaked peat pellet which was placed in a 1.5"x1.5" plastic seedling pot which was set into the bottom half of a Solo cup that I cut in half. 4/6- As soon as I could see a root beginning to emerge from the peat pellet I transferred the pellet, that I first coated with Extreme Gardening's MYCOS, into a Solo cup that had a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix that was pre-amended with Gaia Green 4-4-4 slow release dry amendment, along with wiggle worm castings. After placing the GG4 Sherbet FF in the cup, I watered it in and placed a humidity dome over it to ensure that it stayed in a relatively moist environment as she gets acclimated to her new 'temporary home'. 4/8- The FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF has taken right to her Solo cup and is looking stress free. Her vigor and color are both exceptional as well! 4/10- Well there's the first week for this little girl. Stay tuned in the coming weeks, especially when she gets moved outside and really starts to take off. I can't wait... can you? Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™ Translate

2/21/2019 #2 is a little unruly for a tent this small, but great outside. #1 is doing great flowering,this week I hope to see more filling out of the buds. Also.feeding overdrive into the mix for week six as suggested, see if she likes it! Hope it works. All is going well otherwise letting plants dry out a little they don't seem to care both plants.drank 2 liters plain water before runoff of 10-15%. Get the soil nice and damp for feeding time kind of a drain to waste style.

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 12 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Little Unicorn Is Rolling Toward the Next Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... Our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Moving. Stacking. Building. And apparently... doing it faster than some of the girls around her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop for a second every time I walk past her. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's getting heavier. She's continuing to build those amazing flower structures. And at this point... I'm not really doing much. Actually... I'm doing almost nothing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The plant knows what she's doing. So now? We're basically watching the show. ๐Ÿฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ And honestly... what a show she's putting on. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE LITTLE UNICORN KEEPS 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”€ Frosted Guava Pheno A is still moving fast. That's probably the first thing I notice this week. She's not sitting around waiting for anybody. She's continuing to develop. Continuing to stack. Continuing to build. And continuing to become more and more substantial. She's got that beautiful combination of structure and flower development that makes her so interesting to follow. Every week... something seems a little more developed. A little fuller. A little heavier. A little more defined. And that's what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. Not whether she can build. We already know she can. We're watching how far she decides to take it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ 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 DOING THE TALKING 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 stage of the run, the flowers are really starting to tell the story. The plant has done most of the structural work. The framework is established. The branches are established. The flowering sites are established. And now the flowers are becoming the main characters. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ They're building. They're stacking. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial throughout the plant. And that's what I love about this stage. You can look at the plant and see the work that has already been done. Now we're simply watching the results develop. It's almost like watching a painting dry... except this painting keeps getting more beautiful every week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŽจ 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 SHE'S GETTING HEAVIER 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 girl is not just flowering... she's carrying some serious flower. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ The structures are becoming increasingly substantial, and you can see that she's putting more and more of herself into those flowers. She's becoming a heavier plant. And that's another reason I'm not interested in constantly interfering with her. She's doing beautifully. She's growing. She's developing. She's carrying her flowers. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to become. So... why mess with it? At this point, my job is mostly to make sure she gets what she asks for... and then get out of her way. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got this. 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‘€ THE GROWER IS JUST WATCHING THE SHOW 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 the funniest part of this stage of the grow. I've spent so much time throughout this adventure doing things. Training. Tucking. Adjusting. Moving. Checking. Photographing. Watching. Changing. And now... the plants are basically saying: "Thanks for all that. We'll take it from here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. The work has been done. Now we watch the show roll out. The plant is growing. The flowers are developing. The genetics are expressing themselves. And all I need to do is remain present enough to respond when she asks for something. That's it. Provide. Observe. Assist. And enjoy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ THE UNICORN STILL HAS HER PERSONALITY 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 really like how recognizable this phenotype has become. When we first started this journey, we didn't know exactly what Frosted Guava Pheno A was going to show us. Now? I think we're getting a pretty clear picture. She's fast. She's beautiful. She's heavy. She's structurally interesting. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing things in her own way. She's definitely earned the little unicorn nickname. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And the more she develops... the more appropriate it becomes. There's something about her flower formation that keeps catching my eye. She's not just another flowering plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And she's becoming a very interesting example of what this genetic expression can look like in our environment. 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’š SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. 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 once again... we come back to the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional philosophy. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve completely different stories. That's the magic. The room doesn't tell them exactly how to grow. It gives them the opportunity. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno A has clearly decided that she's going to make the most of that opportunity. She's growing fast. She's stacking. She's becoming heavy. She's developing. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„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’ก THE PHOTONS ARE STILL FLYING 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 lighting setup remains part of the same upgraded environment we've been running throughout the room. Those additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still helping expand our lighting capability. We're not simply throwing maximum power at the plants. We're controlling the output and providing the room with the photons it needs. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava is clearly making use of that artificial sun. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ She's taking those photons... and turning them into flowers. Lots of flowers. That's the beauty of it. We provide the sun. She decides what to do with 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”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHT DOESN'T MEAN MORE 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”€ One thing I really like about the lighting upgrade is that it doesn't mean we have to constantly change what we're doing. The capability is there. The control is there. And now we simply watch how the plants respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need us standing beside her saying: "Come on, girl!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's already moving. She's already doing it. She's already developing. So... let her. 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 THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN 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 now we're entering another little transition in the room. The nutritional program is beginning to decrease. Nothing dramatic. Nothing unusual. Just the normal progression of the run. We've been feeding the plants through their development, and now we're starting to bring that nutrition down as part of the next stage of the journey. For me, this is another sign that the grow is slowly moving from: "Build." toward: "Finish." We're not there yet. But we're getting closer to that part of the story where the grower becomes less concerned with building new structure... and more interested in watching the plants complete what they've already built. And Frosted Guava has certainly built something worth watching. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ„ 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 BIG WORK IS DONE 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 the biggest message I want to leave in this week's report. The work is done. At least... the big work. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We've established the plants. We've created the structure. We've managed the room. We've made our adjustments. We've provided the lighting. We've provided the nutrition. We've watched the plants develop. Now? We're mostly observing. Because you reach a point in every grow where trying to constantly "do something" can become more of a distraction than a benefit. The plant has a job. The plant is doing it. Our job is to make sure she has what she needs... and not get in the way. And Frosted Guava? She's doing her job 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‘‘ GIVE HER WHAT SHE ASKS FOR โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So that's basically where I am with this girl now. I'm not trying to tell her what to do. I'm listening. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If she asks for support... we support. If she needs something... we respond. If something needs adjusting... we adjust. Otherwise? I leave her alone. Because she's showing me that she knows what she's doing. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's doing it without needing me to constantly interfere. That's a pretty good relationship between grower and plant. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒธ WATCHING THE SHOW ROLL OUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There is something incredibly satisfying about this part of a grow. You reach the point where the major decisions have already been made. And suddenly... you get to sit back and watch. The flowers develop. The plant matures. The colours evolve. The resin continues to develop. The structure becomes more pronounced. And eventually... we arrive at harvest. But we're not rushing there. We're still watching. Still documenting. Still learning. Still enjoying the process. And Frosted Guava is giving us a beautiful show to watch. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŽญ 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 FROSTED PART OF FROSTED GUAVA 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 of course... we can't forget the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The flowers continue to carry that beautiful resinous character that made the name Frosted Guava feel so appropriate. The closer you look... the more detail you find. The trichomes. The pistils. The flower structure. The textures. The little details that make each cola its own little landscape. This is another reason I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees: "Beautiful plant." The camera says: "Wait... come closer." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And then suddenly you're lost in the details. 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 DOCUMENTING THE TRANSITION 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 also where the weekly photographs become particularly valuable. Because we're now moving through a transition. The flowers are more developed. The plant is heavier. The structure is established. And we're beginning to see the plant move toward the next chapter. One week from now... there will be changes. Another week... more changes. And eventually... we'll look back at these photographs and realize just how much happened in between. That's why I love these diaries. We're not just showing the finished product. We're showing the journey. And Frosted Guava has given us a very interesting journey. 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˜‚ THE GROWER'S ROLE HAS CHANGED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Earlier in the run: "Okay, what do we need to do?" Now: "Okay... what does she need?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's a big difference. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant already exists. We're no longer trying to establish her structure. It's already there. We're no longer trying to convince her to flower. She's flowering everywhere. Now... we're simply supporting the process. And honestly? I really enjoy this part. Because it gives you time to appreciate what you've created. Or... more accurately... what the plant created. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ We just helped build the stage. She put on the performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ STILL MOVING FAST 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 despite everything becoming more mature... she's still moving. That's what surprises me. She's not slowing down into some quiet little corner. She's continuing to develop. She's continuing to gain presence. She's continuing to stack. She's continuing to become more substantial. And I really like the pace she's chosen. She's got momentum. And we're simply letting that momentum carry her forward. No forcing. No rushing. No unnecessary changes. Just... let her go. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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” 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, my questions are becoming much simpler. ๐ŸŒธ How much more will she build? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will those flowers gain? โ„๏ธ How much more frost will develop? ๐ŸŽจ How will her colours continue to evolve? ๐Ÿฆ„ And how will this little unicorn look when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the interesting questions now. Not: "Can she do it?" She already is. Now we're simply watching how far she takes 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”€ ๐Ÿ’š NO NEED TO FORCE THE ENDING 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 something I want to keep reminding myself of. We're getting closer. But we're not going to force an ending. The plant will tell us. The flowers will tell us. The development will tell us. Until then... we watch. We maintain. We provide what she asks for. And we enjoy the ride. Because the harvest work will come later. And when it does... we'll have plenty of work waiting for us. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But that's another chapter. For now? We're still growing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ LET THE LITTLE UNICORN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So... Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still moving. Still stacking. Still getting heavy. Still developing. Still doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š The big work is done. The room is established. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The nutrition is beginning its gradual transition. And now... we watch the show roll out. I don't need to constantly touch her. I don't need to constantly change something. I don't need to force her into a particular shape. I just need to be there. Observe. Respond. Support.

And when the time comes... we'll pick up the scissors and start the next adventure. But for now?

Now... we watch the magic happen. Let her shine.

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. Iโ€™m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. Iโ€˜m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didnโ€™t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing Iโ€™m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. Iโ€™m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow Iโ€™m just indirectly running a small usb fan. Iโ€™m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Canโ€™t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least itโ€™s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldnโ€™t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. Iโ€™ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

THURSDAY 12/20: Beatrice is still packing on the pistils, but it's a race between her buds finishing and all her leaves all falling off. I watered her today with just bembe, calimagic, bud candy, and terpinator. I'll give her Cha Ching in a couple days..and maybe again once before I start flushing her. FRIDAY: The new evaporative cooler is working pretty well in the tent. High temp was 84f with it running on medium and with ice in the reservoir. That's a win. I suspect that when I need to run the other two 85w bar lights it will be pushing 90f again unless I run it on high. RH is is staying between 38% and 45%, which is another win! SATURDAY: I fed her about a gallon of full-strength bloom nutes and extra bembe/terpinator and cha ching. SUNDAY: Photo session! She's getting closer now...I may start flushing her on next water day.๐Ÿ˜‹

After 10 days of flushing, time to harvest. End of week 8 of flower. Smells amazing. Im drying in tent, cant get the temp under 23 celsius. Thats why Im drying plants without a lot of trim. Buds are full of trichomes, 30h of darkness before harvest. Almost all buds are pretty big, so far sooo good ๐Ÿ˜….
