Oct. 09 - Week 1 begins. Oct. 12 - Can almost watch it grow. Oct. 13 - Photo update. Gave 70ml nutrient solution. Time lapse uploaded. Oct. 14 - I have moved the tiny pot to the "cold room" which ranges between 17 and 20°C depending if the door is open or closed. Hopefully this stunts her a little. A preview of the light I put together a couple years ago in which I plan to use. It consists of a Makers LED Slim heatsink, an Arctic 120mm fan, 4 Cree XT-E 5000K, 9 Cree XT-E 3000K driven by a MeanWell LDH-45A-1050 driver and powered with a MeanWell GST90A12-P1M power supply. Being driven at 1050mA each LED runs a bit less than 3.5 watts for a total of around 45 watts. The heatsink becomes warm to the touch but far from hot. If you look closely, some of the red wire has become white on the side exposed to the light, so they're pretty powerful diodes. I use other lights I've assembled, both identical and similar to this one for some of my succulents and cacti which respond very well, the one cactus is growing at an amazing rate. Time lapse videos should be considerably better now since the new location is much lower traffic and I've learned how to stitch the photos together using PhotoShop in a much simpler way than how I had done it with iMovie. I'm pretty new to making time lapse videos so there are going to be some mistakes. I also have figured roughly how long my batteries last (2 days) so I switch them every other day.

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

Not much to report as these girls are happy and healthy. Weather is still a little up and down. We had a couple cold, drizzly days where they stayed inside under the lights on the heat mat set at 70F. Days when it was bright but still a little cool and windy they sat on a south facing windowsill. This morning is nice so they're actually out in the flower bed. They got a feeding at the correct dilution ratio this week and I re-potted them the next day in Coast of Maine Bar Harbor blend soil. I color coordinated the pots by strain so Night Nurse is Black. Gave the Weed Tea a stir today. Shes' getting stinky💩

Planta cresceu em repouso nas últimas duas semanas e voltarei a praticar o LST na próxima semana. Planta está crescendo em um grow com outras 4 plantas em estado vegetativo e uma em revegetativo. todas as outras 4 plantas da mesma semente não germinaram.

Servus Moin! Die Permanent Melons ist wie immer ein Wuchsmonster. Wieder sehr viel Blattwerk, was sich nach Entwickelt hat. Die Buds sind nicht ganz so riesig wie bei den anderen Ladys, aber das kann sich ja noch ändern. Sie riecht sehr stark diesmal nach Melonenschale und Edding. Diesmal habe ich mit dem Grow, genau das Terpenenprofil getroffen. Beim letzten run haben sie nicht sie stark geduftet.

Very happy ladies. WEEKLY GOALS : --------------------------- - pluck the whole room !!! - stake all large spudz that need may need support for down the road . - run a cleaner through my lines ( which switching over to auto pots , I want these ladies to have a clean line of path for ALOT of drinking 🚰) - take any shoots that are too far barried in the canopy to flower correctly. I really had to sit on my hands and let these girls grow

Feb 27 I changed the light cycle to 18/6 a few days ago and surprisingly have seen the plants perking during sleep. Orange Sherbet is growing really quickly, I'm going to start Low Stress Training here soon to get these other stems some light.

April 20, 2023 at 1:41 PM day 50 -It’s day 50 and they are all in full flower and seem mostly happy. The forum appear to be showing a calcium/magnesium deficiency. I busted out some of my hydroponic stuff and gave it some cutting edge solutions additives. Are used plant-amp, uncle John’s blend, and Mag-amp. I gave it 2/3 strength. -I also added my Bulbasaur to protect the plants! April 26, 2023 at 9:55 AM day 56 -Something with wrong with the forum. Only thing I could think of is that the soil pH is too high. It might be a 7.5 to about an 8. I’m putting up a video so you guys could take a look. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I did wrong so I won’t do it again. 😔

🌱 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. And of course, endless gratitude to the incredible companies helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the amazing Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the light that powers every day of growth. 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! 🌱💚

week three flower everything looks fine so far :D eight days after defoliation I water them with 1.5l every 48h the light I use was set to 80% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops gelato 1 threw some balls, but I removed them as soon as I saw them, I'll keep watching it!
