So 7 weeks in and there are still no pistils, this was a free seed from @Dutch Passion and i thought it was an auto as the rest of the seeds i purchased were but im guessing its a photo period so i have now switched to 12/12.

Early skunk 2 and 4 stretched a lot this week while early skunk 3 didn't as much. ES 3 development seems to be faster then 2's and 4's however is not gaining as much height and shoot structure as 2&4's. Noticed little burning on ES4 leaves closer to ventilator. La fanta CBD evolved a little this week, noticed by pistils finally developing on a fast rate. 17/10 Fed them with liquid quillaia extract, biosymphony (psb) and little lmx to the water reservoir. Last one in order to slow down algae dev on reservoir.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 A Different Personality, the Same Strong Foundation One of the reasons I enjoy phenotype hunts so much is that even when two plants share exactly the same genetics, environment, and care, they still find their own way to express themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is proving exactly that. Growing alongside her sister inside the 8×8 Adventure, under the same 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has chosen a slightly different path. While Pheno A developed into a broader, more evenly spread canopy, this lady has remained a little more compact and slightly shorter, standing at 88 cm, with a beautiful upright structure that feels elegant and incredibly well organized. Different personality. Same healthy foundation. And she’s looking absolutely fantastic. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – A Beautiful Transition into Flower The flowering stretch is beginning to slow, and the plant is now directing more of her energy toward what really matters—building flowers. Despite being the smaller sister, there is nothing small about her health or vigor. She has developed strong branching, excellent stem thickness, and a wonderfully open architecture that allows light to travel throughout the entire plant. Looking at her from the side, every branch seems to have found its own space. Looking from above, the canopy remains balanced, symmetrical, and full of promising flowering sites. She carries herself with confidence. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure Like the rest of this project, the focus has never been on forcing the plant into shape. Instead, careful Low Stress Training, gentle branch positioning, and occasional leaf tucking have allowed her natural structure to reveal itself. This phenotype responded beautifully. Rather than becoming extremely wide, she developed a more vertical framework while still maintaining excellent branch spacing and airflow. Every flowering site now enjoys plenty of light exposure, and the open interior should help support healthy flower development throughout the coming weeks. Sometimes the best training is simply allowing the plant to guide you. ⸻ ? The Arrival of Flower This week, flowering is no longer something that’s coming. It’s here. Fresh white pistils now decorate nearly every growing tip, transforming what were once simple shoots into the first true bud sites. Those bright white hairs always bring a special feeling. They’re the first real promise of what’s ahead. The tops are beginning to stack, secondary branches are joining the party, and little by little, the architecture of the final harvest is starting to reveal itself. It’s one of the most exciting moments of every grow. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional across the entire plant. The leaves display a rich, healthy green, with beautiful turgor and excellent posture from top to bottom. The stems continue strengthening, new growth remains vibrant, and the overall appearance is one of complete balance. She may be slightly more compact than her sister, but she radiates exactly the same vitality. Every photo reflects a plant that is comfortable, thriving, and fully focused on flowering. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, this Frosted Guava isn’t connected to the AutoPot system. She has been hand-watered throughout the entire grow, receiving exactly the same nutrient solution and environmental conditions while allowing a little more hands-on interaction during irrigation. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 Even with different irrigation methods, she’s demonstrating just how consistent the Plagron program can be when paired with careful observation and stable environmental conditions. Different watering style. Same excellent results. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This entire project continues benefiting from an incredibly stable growing environment. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Every phenotype inside the room experiences the same carefully managed climate, allowing their unique genetic differences—not environmental inconsistencies—to tell the story. That consistency is becoming more evident with every passing week. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch is nearly complete, and now the real excitement begins. Over the coming weeks, I expect these fresh pistils to multiply rapidly as each flowering site begins stacking into properly formed buds. Her slightly more compact stature could become a real advantage later in flower, potentially producing dense, well-supported colas throughout the canopy. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to let the flowers take over. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is a wonderful reminder that every plant deserves to be appreciated for what it naturally wants to become. She isn’t trying to compete with her sister. She simply expresses the same genetics in her own unique way. A little shorter. A little more compact. Just as healthy. Just as beautiful. Watching both Frosted Guava phenotypes develop side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. It’s these subtle differences that make every grow, every phenotype, and every harvest its own unique story. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the opportunity to explore these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the amazing lighting, TrolMaster for keeping the environment perfectly controlled, and to everyone following, commenting, and supporting this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement makes every weekly update even more enjoyable to create. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

she has adapted very well to the change. a good increase in growth. she is now getting bio-grow from biobizz. and a little support. i am thinking of trimming her next week. i think she will be strong enough then.

Both plants are showing severe calmag problems, damn it's too late to do anything at all when you see it to this extent. (Day 50) calmag problems are getting worse. Watered 1.5l ph 6.5 (Day 51) Watered with nutrients. I measured the light intensity again today with a diffuser.all popcorn buds were separated (Day 53)

Week 17 Last week before harvest. Just let the plants ending the maturation process. Good synchronization between the different strains, selected with an approximate identical flowering period. I want harvesting all the plants at the same time. Flowers are dense, hard and thick, pretty resinous. 4 strains = 4 different smells, 4 different colors….🤩 I flushed consciously and stopped watering 4 days before the harvest day. I turned off the light during 48h, with ventilation on. All is ready for the cut. Date is programmed to the full moon period….why not…🤔 I will trim a little bit the plants before cutting and hanging them in the tent with the same ventilation cycle, no light of course…

Going to grow strand again but let plant grow larger. I will not put the plant in flowering two weeks into veg

Today is day 57 I flipped them to flower on day 55, responded so well to all the things they've had done, topping, tie downs, defoliations, they look really good especially the bigger of the 2,.. roll on next week

Day 64: Second Grow We’re now in the fifth week of the flowering stage, and the buds are getting thicker by the day. We’ve decided to order a microscope to keep a closer eye on the trichome development. Additionally, we’re considering ordering CANNAZYM, a nutrient that could help our buds grow even bigger and healthier. Here’s to another week of growth and progress!!

Week 7

Added a top layer of soil with added nutes so that only needed to water normally and let the top mix do the work down below. Will mix in more compost tea every other day and towards the end of the week, hit it with my normal organic nutes mix. The plant is looking healthy and continues to flower out and each cola is starting to thicken nicely. I have a few leaves here and there showing some discoloration so will watch closely to ensure I don’t have a light or nute issue. Will move the light intensity to 80% on the LED panels after this next week and as long as the leaves still look good. The grow room is fairly warm (80F) and rH is high (75 – 80rH) but my CO2 levels are fairly high as well so the plants should be fine. Running 2 x HO Solarcure UVBs for 2 hours about an hour after the LED lights turn on at the beginning of the 12 hour set and for 2 hours about an hour before the LEDs turn off at the end of the set.

During a beautiful spring evening somewhere in May, the idea came to me to choose for a new hobby. And because I enjoy gardening very much and also like to smoke a joint, I decided that night to try to grow my own weed. And I also wanted to challenge myself to grow the best weed I possibly can. That's when I started to read up on all the facets of growing cannabis. From materials to technique, from strains to the anatomy of the plant, I prepared myself for at least 2 months before even one seed went into the soil. And partly because of this thorough preparation, I can now say to myself afterwards that this is the maximum I managed to get out of it. And the great thing about all this is that after these past 4 months I have learned so much more! Therefore I already know for sure that my next grow will be even better. Below some tips for my fellow newbies, they might help you during your own grow... Material In addition to the lamp, the tent and the right nutrients, which I commented on above, I have benefited a lot from a humidifier and dehumidifier over the past 4 months. Especially in the first weeks of growth, a humidifier is very useful so that you can keep the humidity around 60% (or what the VPD chart tells you depending on the temperature). During the flowering phase it is very useful to use a dehumidifier so that the humidity remains below 50% and at the end of the growth even close to 40%. That way you also exclude the risk of mold and bud rot. It is also useful to use these devices during the drying process so that you can keep the humidity around 60% and dry your weed slowly (at a temperature of around 15.5 Celsius, drying takes about 14 days). Drying slowly and coolly definitely benefits the smell and taste! What's also really a must are an EC and pH meter, without these 2 instruments it is actually not possible to realize a perfect grow. Make sure you use a reputable brand like Apera, they are a bit more expensive but always deliver spot on. In total I invested about 1500 euros in material on my first grow. This is also because I wanted to do it perfectly and therefore only went for quality products. But all in all I think I earn back my investment within 2 runs, taking into account that both my friends and I will never run out of a joint 😊 Seeds Good genes are important to ultimately achieve a good end result. Therefore, do not save on the seeds and buy them from a reputable breeder. That way you can be sure that you will grow strong and healthy plants that can withstand pests and other negative influences. Well begun is half done and this is especially true when growing cannabis. Technique Of all the training techniques I have used, I would like to specifically mention one that surprised me the most: Supercropping! Because I did this grow using the ScrOG method, I wanted to create as even a canopy as possible. The type of lamp I use is also most suitable for this method. But no matter how well you train your plants, they will eventually stretch unevenly during the first weeks of flower. I therefore snapped about 8 stems using Supercropping, which made my canopy nice and even again in a way that each branch gets the same amount of light. And the colas on those branches turned out SUPER nice! Also the nuggets beneath were growing bigger because they too got more light. I will certainly use this technique even more in my next grow! Will I will definitely use a diary again I will definitely use VPD charts again I will definitely use a feeding schedule again I will definitely turn my light on during the day and off during nighttime again I will definitely use the ScrOG method again I will definitely choose a feminized American strain again I will definitely use a webcam again (Wyze Cam) I will definitely defoliate even more during the 4th week of flowering I will definitely go higher on lollypopping I will definitely Supercrop more I will definitely dry my plants slowly and cool again (15 days at 60% RH and 15,5 C) I will definitely continue to learn more and prepare myself even better for my next grow again 👊 Won't I will certainly not water my seedlings too much again 😅 I will certainly not go for 3 plants again, but instead for 4 plants per m2 I will certainly not hesitate to ask experienced growmies for help again 🙏 (next week I'll comment on the bud dry weight and give my final smoke experience)

Hey everyone :-). The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer. Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻. There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎. I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

ABxRKO is about 42.5" tall, and has been top dressed with about 3tsp of grow dots to give it a phosphorus boost in flower HBSS is about 26.5" tall and has been top dressed with about 2tsp grow dots as I believe it is fighting a phosphorus deficiency. She is giving all the smells, a bright red starburst like fruity smell with a stark citrus note.

So we're going into the 2nd week of flower and everything is looking good and healthy. Definitely ready to see what the flower looks like on this cross. My diary won't be complete in time for the contest but I'm still stoked for this grow.

Day 57 😁👌all the queens are ok 🙏 Day 58 the queens got some fertilizer 💪😃👍 Day 59 what should i say... everything seems to fine 😃🙏👍 Day 60 the queens got some fertilizer 💪😃👍
