After some research I decided to go for Advanced Nutrients for all amendments. Starting slow and building towards flower, then adding some Bud Candy. These plants really took off lol, shit got out of hand and I let them run a little, I'm definitely a habitual defoliator, I cant stop clipping when I really should just let them be, anyway I moved the tent out of the Closet space as its a friendlier time of year so they don't need the extra protection, kinda why I let them go, Season 1 needed to be smaller in height as they would have suffered outside the tent. Still topped and administered some LST, tried some clips out, but they were far too small and ended up snapping a stem. Would like to give them a go again but will research a bit more next time and not just go for Amazon crap. So far in terms of holding things down I really like the early pegs in the soil approach. I also tried some trellis netting this time, definitely like it and will be more prepared next time. Had to bail for an Easter break so a buddy came through and watered in nuets for me. SKOG was noticeably more Sativa-esque, thinner, stretchier. Runtz with the fatter leaves.

This week was similar to last week. Rain every other day with intense sun. There were no major changes I made I did slide my pots over a few feet to try to catch more sunlight. Mainly just been on scouting duty making sure there are no questionable bugs hanging around. I few thing seem to take a liking to the but seems to be leaving them lone for the most part. One thing I noticed with the autos is that they seemed to adapt a whorled phyllotaxy along with the lemon al that started with 3 from seed. They got their weekly does of boogie brew, but think I will stop feeding after this week.

Week 5, 5-11 September 2025 5-11 Sept - Observed and let the plant grow. At last a fast week of growth. Whatever the issue was worked itself out and the plant is now thriving. I believe the main problem was the roots did not grow with the speed usually associated with an auto. This could have been my fault because the clay pebbles were rather shallow at the beginning of the grow, and the added expanded clay pebbles a couple of weeks back finally expanded the root system. In any case it is on track now and doing fine. The end of this week I increased the light power 60%, DLI 37 canopy coverage at 18 hrs. - 2 Sept changed nutrient solution - 2 Sept updated feeding schedule - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 1.7 at 69 degrees F - Light power at 60%, DLI 37 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Lamp Brightness: 100% @ 16" - estimated 914 PAR (top of GMO 2/back left) Waterings only, daily crop steering - reduced water temp + dry down periods IPM once-a-week visual inspection - no foliar applications notes: harvest likely next week (after 12 weeks flowering) trichome check - showing little signs of amber looks like they could go longer but another week I feel is sufficient smell has largely stayed the same for a few weeks if anything just more complexities

๐ŸŒฟ Week 4 โ€“ Vegetative Stage Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow ๐ŸŒ โธป ๐Ÿ’š Growth Before the Flip The girls are still in veg, but theyโ€™re showing such strong, pre-flower-like development that it almost feels like theyโ€™re ahead of schedule. Internodal spacing is tight, leaf formation is elegant, and both phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) remain incredibly similar in structure, color, and vigor. They have a compact yet big presence, lush canopies with balanced symmetry. The consistency in these genetics is impressive, and theyโ€™ve kept their health spotless from the start. โธป ๐Ÿ“ธ Studio Shots This week, we brought them into the studio to capture their beauty one last time before they transition to flower. Deep greens, perfect leaf serration, and textbook node formation, theyโ€™re looking ready for the big stage. โธป ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding โ€“ No Change in Recipe We continue with the same nutrient schedule as before: โ€ข Start Booster โ€“ To encourage strong root systems and microbial support โ€ข CalMag Boost โ€“ To ensure no deficiencies and strong cell walls โ€ข Regulator โ€“ For nutrient uptake efficiency and plant resilience โ€ข pH: ~6.1 โ€ข Feed EC: ~0.6 (pellets in the soil are still doing a lot of the work) This consistency is key, we want them steady and strong going into the flip. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Environment & Measurements โ€ข Air Temp: ~31ยฐC (slightly high, AC unit arriving soon to improve this) โ€ข Humidity: ~50% โ€ข COโ‚‚: ~700 ppm โ€ข Soil Temp: ~25ยฐC โ€ข Watering: ~1.5โ€“2.0 L/day, triggered at ~25% soil dryness โ€ข Soil EC: ~2.0 (nutrient balance remains ideal) โ€ข PPFD: 760โ€“780 ยตmol/mยฒ/s, with natural variation due to untrained growth pattern โธป ๐ŸŽ“ Why the Data Matters Tracking PPFD, soil EC, dryness, temperature, and COโ‚‚ isnโ€™t just technical, itโ€™s about reading the plants. These numbers help anticipate issues before they show visually, fine-tune growth rates, and ensure optimal conditions for the flip. โธป ๐Ÿ‘‘ The Queen Awaits Permanent Marker remains one of the most exciting modern strains, a new-school heavy-hitter with legendary parentage (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx). As an example grow for the Dognabis Cup, these plants are showing exactly what careful, consistent cultivation can achieve. โธป ๐Ÿ”ฎ Next Week: The Flip This is the last week of vegetative growth. The next stage will see the girls officially move into flower, where we expect explosive bud site development and that unmistakable Permanent Marker frost. For now, we enjoy the sight of healthy, happy queens, calm before the floral storm. 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.

27.07.: Zu Beginn von Woche 6 habe ich mich dazu entschieden die G41 an dem GroรŸteil der Triebe zu topen. Dadurch erhoffe ich mir einen buschigeren Wuchs mit mehr Trieben und mehr Zeit fรผr die PBB in GrรถรŸe aufzuholen. An den Schnittstellen, wo die Pflanze getopt wurde ist an einigen Stellen ein roter fast blutรคhnlicher Saft ausgetreten. Ich hab vorher noch nie gehรถrt oder gesehen, dass das passieren kann und weiรŸ auch nicht woher das kommt. Die PBB brauche ich nur kaum zu trainieren, da benรถtigt die G41 mehr Zuwendung. Da die Pflanzen grรถรŸer und die Tรถpfe mit der Zeit immer trockener werden, verlรคngere ich die GieรŸzeit auf 5 min. 28.07.: Heute sind mir zum ersten Mal die Stempelhaare an der PBB aufgefallen. Sie ist also schon bereit fรผr die Blรผte. Ich denke, das liegt daran, dass die PBB eine fast flowering Sorte ist. Sie muss aber noch warten, bis sie ihren Platz vollstรคndig ausgefรผllt hat. 30.07.: Beide sind gut gewachsen. Die PBB konnte gut gegenรผber der G41 an Hรถhe aufholen. Jetzt sind sie fast gleich groรŸ. Ansonsten gibt es nicht viel zu machen oder bemerken. 01.08.: Zum Ende von Woche 6 habe ich das Scrog Netz installiert. Die kommende Woche werde ich die Triebe immer wieder unter das Netz stecken, damit niedrigere Triebe aufholen kรถnnen und ein mรถglichst einheitlicher Wuchs entsteht. Bei der G41 gefรคllt mir die Anzahl der Triebe schon sehr gut, bei der PBB ist noch Luft nach oben. Ich befรผrchte allerdings, dass bei der PBB nicht mehr sonderlich viel passieren wird. Nรคchstes Update ist dann in Woche 7.

D70/F39 - 12.7 - These took a little hit from the fungus gnats, but hoping the kick back soon. Top dressed with a little super soil concentrate. The one that showed early pollen sacs does not appear to be making any more atm, but the fucking timer in it's tent broke, so she got more than 12 hours at least once. I'll be surprised if she don't herm hard now, but oh well. What can ya do. On the plus, star pupil seeds... D76/F45 - 12.13 - Heck fungus gnats. Were hanging on and hoping for a kind last few weeks.

Hey Friends, end of Week 10 from seed Colas are looking Very nice Noticed some orange color on some leaf tips so I lowered the amount nutrition when feeding I used a magnifier to have a closer look at the colas, trichomes used to looked like little crystals, now they are bigger and cloudy. So far no amber coloring on trichomes I need some advice as to when I should begin flushing and harvest Smell is slowly getting stronger, like a muffin with a small touch of gas โ›ฝ๏ธ Looking Forward in seeing some bud growth in the following week, will keep you guys posted!

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’จ Big Mama Is Still Hereโ€ฆ And She's Getting Louder ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And yes... I have a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This week, I got distracted by her sister. Because while Godfather OG Pheno A decided to make herself VERY known with her smell... I was apparently too busy paying attention to the loud girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ And somehow... Big Mama Pheno B escaped the camera. Again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโŒ So no dedicated photo session for her this week. But before anyone thinks we've forgotten about this beautiful girl... NO. Absolutely not. She's right there. She's clearly visible in the room footage. And honestly, anyone who has been following this diary already knows exactly who she is. She's Big Mama. She's big. She's beautiful. She's present. She's substantial. She's doing exactly what she has been doing throughout this entire journey. And she's still looking damn good. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ So this week we're going to do something slightly different. No photo gallery. No individual portraits. Just a little reminder that the Big Mama is still standing there in the jungle... doing her thing... and quietly becoming louder herself. Let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. 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‘‘ WEEK 13 โ€“ BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you already know this girl. You don't need me to introduce her. You know who she is. Godfather OG Pheno B. Our Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's one of those plants where you don't need a close-up photograph to recognize her. You see her in the room footage... and immediately: "There she is." ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. She's got that unmistakable Godfather OG personality. And even though this week doesn't have her usual collection of dedicated photographs, she hasn't disappeared. Not even close. She's still right there. Still developing. Still filling her space. Still moving toward the final stages. And still looking 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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ YESโ€ฆ WE MISSED THE PHOTO SESSION Let's just admit it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This week... the camera didn't make it to Big Mama. Somehow, I got distracted with her sister and the whole "WHO THE HELL IS MAKING THIS MUCH SMELL?" situation. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ And by the time I realized it... the dedicated photo session was already gone. So instead of pretending otherwise, we're simply documenting it honestly. There are no dedicated photos of Pheno B this week. But she is clearly visible in the room videos. And if you've been following these reports... you know exactly what you're looking at. You know her structure. You know her position. You know her size. You know those flowers. You know Big Mama. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And next week? She's getting her full photographic treatment again. Promise. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ 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 IS STILL DOING HER THING And honestly... that's probably the most important part. The missing photographs don't mean anything changed in the plant. She's still developing. Still flowering. Still maturing. Still filling her space. Still doing what she has been doing for weeks. We're now deep into the later flowering stage, and the plant is increasingly focused on finishing what she started. The structure is already established. The flowers are there. The plant has spent the entire grow building herself. Now we're watching that work mature. And Big Mama is doing exactly that. Quietly. Consistently. 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‘‘ SHE'S STILL GOT PRESENCE Some plants you have to search for. Not this girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Even in the room footage... she stands out. She's big. She's substantial. She's got flowers everywhere. And she has that presence that we've been talking about since the beginning. That's one of the reasons I gave her the nickname Big Mama in the first place. She earned it. And she still does. She's not suddenly becoming smaller because we forgot to photograph her. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still occupying her space. She's still making herself noticed. And she's still one of those girls that you look at when you walk into the room. "Yep." There's Big Mama. 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 STILL BEAUTIFUL Even without this week's close-up gallery, the room footage gives us enough of a look to see that the flowers are continuing their development. They're becoming more mature. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The plant is progressing toward the final stages. And when you know this phenotype from the previous weeks, you can recognize her expression immediately. That's something I really love about these individual diaries. After twelve-plus weeks of watching a plant... you learn her. You don't need a label every time. You know the structure. You know the way she fills the room. You know the way her flowers develop. You know her personality. And Big Mama has become one of those plants for me. 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 AND WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL? Now... this is where things get interesting. Because after being distracted by her sister... I started comparing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ And I have to say... Pheno B is definitely not silent. She's not as loud as her sister. Or at least... she doesn't seem to be right now. Her aroma isn't hitting me in quite the same way. But... the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty damn sure she's getting louder by the day. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ That's what I'm noticing. She's developing her own aromatic presence. Maybe she's simply taking her time. Maybe she's going to surprise us later. Maybe her sister is just naturally more aggressive with the aroma. Or maybe... Big Mama is simply warming up. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And if she keeps increasing at this rate... we might have another loud girl on our hands. 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‘ƒ SAME FAMILY โ€“ DIFFERENT VOLUME This is another beautiful little lesson from the 8ร—8 Adventure. Two phenotypes. Same general genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environment. And yet... different expressions. Even the aroma can tell us something. Pheno A is currently making herself VERY obvious. Pheno B? She's more reserved. For now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ But the underlying profile feels similar. And that's exactly the sort of thing I love seeing. Because we're not simply asking: "What does Godfather OG smell like?" We're asking: "What does THIS Godfather OG phenotype smell like?" And then... "What does her sister smell like?" And suddenly the answer becomes much more interesting. 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 BIG MAMA IS STILL LOOKING HEALTHY Despite this week's photographic failure... she's still giving us a beautiful overall impression. She's still carrying herself well. She's still developing. She's still got that substantial structure. And she's still doing exactly what we want her to do at this stage: Finish. There's no reason to manufacture work. There's no reason to interfere just because we don't have a camera in our hands. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply observe. And when we look at Big Mama... she's telling us she's okay. She's continuing forward. 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 STILL MOVING TOWARD THE FINISH As with the rest of the room, we're continuing the gradual transition toward the later stages. The mineral base has already been reduced. Terra Bloom is around: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L with the room EC around: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm The approach remains gradual. No dramatic overnight changes. No "everything stops tomorrow." Just a progressive transition while we watch the plants. And Big Mama is still actively developing. So we're watching her. Listening to her. And allowing her to finish in her own rhythm. 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 ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING The upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup remains in place. Two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. Controlled output. Approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug With approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Big Mama is still right underneath that artificial sun. And she's still doing what she has always done... turning photons into plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ More capability. More control. Same room. Same experiment. Different genetic response. That's the 8ร—8. 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 BIG PLANT โ€“ THREE-DIMENSIONAL LIGHT And once again, Big Mama is a perfect example of why I don't think about lighting as simply: "How much light does the tent get?" She's a big, three-dimensional plant. Different flowers are at different heights. Different leaves are positioned differently. Different parts of the canopy receive different amounts of direct light. The upper canopy is around that ~1,500 PPFD range. Deeper areas naturally receive less. And the Lumiflora lighting continues giving us another layer deeper into that structure. We're not lighting a flat table. We're lighting a jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of her space. 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 SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT ANSWERS This remains the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental philosophy. Shared lighting. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. One grower. And twelve completely different answers. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us hers. She's big. She's vigorous. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing quickly. And now... she's becoming increasingly aromatic. Maybe not as loud as her sister. Yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ But definitely heading in that direction. 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 NEXT WEEK, SHE'S GETTING HER SPOTLIGHT BACK And I promise... next week we're correcting the photographic crime. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama will be back with: ๐ŸŒฟ Full-plant photographs ๐ŸŒธ Flower portraits ๐Ÿ’Ž Close-ups ๐Ÿ“ธ Her individual progression ๐Ÿ‘‘ Her full spotlight Because she deserves it. This week was simply one of those weird moments where the camera went toward one sister... and somehow forgot the other. It happens. We're human. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But Big Mama isn't going anywhere. She's right there. Still shining. Still growing. Still 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”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8ร—8 continues under the same general setup: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 13 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD โ€” ~1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output โ€” ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH โ€” approximately 6.0 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L Same room.

And she's still doing 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’จ IS BIG MAMA GOING TO GET LOUDER? That's now another question I'm genuinely curious about. Because I think she is. Her sister is currently stealing the aromatic spotlight. No question. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ But Pheno B has a very similar profile. And I'm noticing more and more presence from her as the days pass. So I'm not counting her out. Not even remotely. Maybe she's just taking the scenic route. Maybe she needs a little more time. Maybe her final expression will surprise us. That's the fun part. We don't know yet. And I'm not going to invent an ending before the plant gives us one. Let's watch. Let's smell. Let's document. And eventually... let's find 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”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FINAL CHAPTERS ARE GETTING CLOSER We're getting deeper into the run now. The flowers are established. The plants are mature. The colours are changing. The resin is becoming more visible. And the nutritional programme is beginning its gradual transition. Big Mama is moving along with the rest of the room. Some girls are ahead. Some are behind. Some are louder. Some are quieter. Some are changing colour. Some are staying greener. And that's exactly why this project has been so much fun. There's no single timeline. There's twelve. 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‘‘ BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED A PHOTO TO BE BIG MAMA This week has actually reminded me of something. The photographs are important. They're documentation. They're the visual record. But they're not the plant. The plant is still there. And when you have followed her for twelve weeks... you know her. You recognize her. You know what you're looking at. And Big Mama is one of those girls. She's unmistakable. She's substantial. She's beautiful. She's present. She's doing exactly what she can do. And honestly... that's enough. The photographs will come next week. For now... we let her shine in the room footage. ๐Ÿ‘‘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”€ โค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE BIG MAMA IS STILL SHINING Week 13. And yes... we got distracted. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Her sister started making enough noise with her aroma to steal the attention for a moment. And somehow... Big Mama lost her photo session. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ But the good news? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still present. She's still developing. She's still filling her space. She's still carrying those beautiful flowers. And she's still becoming increasingly aromatic. She's not as loud as her sister... at least not yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ But the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty convinced she's getting louder by the day. So perhaps we're simply watching the beginning of another aromatic story. And that's something I'm very interested in. Because this girl has already shown us so much. She's been one of the substantial plants in this room from the beginning. She's been vigorous. She's been beautiful. She's claimed her space. She's developed her own expression. And now... she's approaching the final chapter. So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's simply watch. And next week... we bring the camera back. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama gets her full spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Until then... Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Keep filling that corner. Keep developing those beautiful flowers. And keep getting louder. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ‘‘ We're watching. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of 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™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Godfather OG genetics and document these individual phenotypes throughout the journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this run. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. More lighting capability. More control. More photons. And another fascinating variable for this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to think about this garden as the three-dimensional space that it really is. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following these girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this crazy adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's still writing hers as Big Mama. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž This week she may not have had the dedicated photographs she deserved... but she's still right there. Still big. Still beautiful. Still present. Still developing. Still shining. And possibly... getting louder. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ Next week... we bring the camera back. Big Mama gets her portraits. Her close-ups. Her flower shots. Her full report. And the spotlight goes right back where it belongs. On her. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Until next week... Growers Love, my friends. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Happy growing, take care everyone... and Big Mama? I'm sorry about the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ We'll make it up to you next week. See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’จ

El dorado og has some old school genetics to is and they are starting to shine. Itโ€™s really starting to stack up the stems real nicely. The plant reaks like skunk. I bet it turns out really nice All of the plants have really taken off. Usually I have a couple plants that are much smaller but all of these plants are getting huge. Seeing I got a new eluefah uap1500 the other day and I have my 2 fastbuds plants under that now I have my spider farmer light free. So I popped up another 2x2 and moved 3 of the 10 plants into the 2x2 and left the 7 other in the 2x4.
