Feb 6 They got last feed yesterday and for 7 days they will only get plain water, then chop chop Feb 6 Did some snipping of the dead leaves, just did second last water, one more in 48hrs, then 48 hrs darkness and she’s done… I’m thinking prolly 2 - 2.5 oz off these girls 🥦 PS: trying out 4 plants in 1.5 gal pots next instead of 2 plants in 3 gal. Got some signs of light stress via mid to late flower, so maybe 4 plants might help spread out the energy and increase yeild.

All caught up now! Attached is some shots with less effort put into them, then a couple shots of her main kola sparkling with trichome frost. Oh baby, she stacked muuuch harder than I remember earlier on this week. Just absolutely packing on the resin all throughout her nodes. Not just the main kola, but the lower ones too. Very pleased! Quite happy with the flash-adjusted shots of the main kola too, you can see she's just icing herself out like it's a full-time job, which I suppose it is for her at this stage of flower. Still has a relative smell of skunk, but has developed a really lovely and strong citrus note/lemon peel that overrides that skunk hit. Gas notes on the end sort of highlight the sting of the lemon terps. Gorgeous phenotype/s for sure.

Hi Friends, - Day 10 - 1st water change - One leaf looked a little crisp so we removed it and reduced the light from 24hr to 18/6 - Started to increase the nutrients and introduced florilicious - Healthy root structure - Beautiful fan leaves - Responded positively to some topping earlier this week and LST training -PPMs we’re a bit higher than the GH feeding chart suggested (500-600) ours read 720- not too worried at this point

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Finding Her Own Spice There are always a few plants in a room that seem determined to compete for the crown. The tallest. The widest. The biggest. And then there are plants like Frosted Guava. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to make an impression. She has simply found her own way of doing things. Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A has continued developing with beautiful consistency. Her foliage remains lush and deeply green, her structure is filling out beautifully, and her flowers are becoming increasingly dense and noticeably frosty. The plant is now entering her fifth week of flowering, and the difference is becoming impossible to miss. She's eating photons. She's converting them into flowers. And slowly but surely, she's filling out everywhere. This girl is finding her own spice. And I really like it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – The Flowers Are Coming Into Their Own At approximately 120 cm, Frosted Guava may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't everything. What matters now is what she's doing with the structure she built. And she's doing a beautiful job. The stretch has largely settled, and the energy of the plant is increasingly directed toward developing the flowers. The individual bud sites are becoming much more substantial, with the flowers beginning to stack and fill along the branches. The most beautiful part right now is the contrast. Those deep green leaves surrounding flowers covered in bright white pistils create an almost electric appearance. The white hairs seem to be reaching in every direction, forming those beautiful little crowns around each developing flower. And beneath them, the flowers are beginning to gain real volume. They're no longer simply there. They're building. 🍃 Deep Green, Lush & Full of Life One of the first things that catches my eye when looking at Frosted Guava this week is the foliage. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look healthy, strong, and full of life, creating a lush backdrop for the developing flowers. There is something particularly satisfying about seeing this combination at this stage of flowering: deep green foliage + bright white pistils + increasing frost. The plant looks like she's completely comfortable in her environment. She's not trying to be something she's not. She's simply growing. And that's becoming her personality. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving The name Frosted Guava is starting to make more and more sense. Resin development is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers, and the developing frost is beginning to give the buds that beautiful sparkling appearance we've been waiting for. We're still far from the finished product, of course. But this is the stage where things start becoming really exciting. Every week, the flowers gain a little more structure. A little more volume. A little more frost. And a little more personality. The white pistils are still beautifully prominent, standing proudly away from the flowers and giving every bud site that classic flowering appearance. They're almost like little flags announcing: "We're not finished yet." And I certainly hope they're not. There's still plenty of work for these flowers to do. ☀️ Eating Photons This is one of my favourite parts of watching a plant develop. We can't actually see photosynthesis happening. But we can see the results. Light enters the canopy. Leaves capture those photons. And the plant turns that energy into growth, structure, flowers, and eventually the beautiful resin-covered buds we're watching develop week by week. Frosted Guava is doing exactly that right now. She's standing underneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, taking in the light, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues bringing additional illumination into the lower portions of the plant. And the response is becoming visible. She's filling out. She's building flower mass. She's turning energy into structure. The room might look like it's simply full of green plants and bright lights. But underneath all of that is an incredible biological process happening every second. And Frosted Guava is working. 💡 Light Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main source of light above the canopy, while Lumiflora continues supporting the lower flowering areas. At approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, the plants have plenty of photons available during this stage. The under-canopy lighting adds another layer to the system, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full and the foliage naturally creates more shade below the main canopy. I'm especially interested in watching how Frosted Guava's lower flowering sites develop as the flowers continue gaining size. But once again, I'm not going to write the ending before we reach it. The harvest will tell us what the photons actually accomplished. 🌿 A Plant Finding Her Own Personality This is probably what I appreciate most about Frosted Guava. She isn't trying to be the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to stretch endlessly toward the ceiling. She's simply developing her own shape. And now that the flowers are becoming more substantial, that individuality is becoming easier to appreciate. Some phenotypes announce themselves immediately. Others reveal themselves slowly. Frosted Guava feels like the second kind. She's quietly been building a foundation week after week, and now we're beginning to see the reward. A lush plant. Strong foliage. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing frost. And flowers that are slowly but surely filling out. She's finding her own spice. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains consistent this week: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Watering: approximately 1.3 L per 24 hours Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when the plant is responding beautifully. Consistency continues to be the name of the game. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with remarkably stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The combination of stable temperature, humidity, airflow, lighting and irrigation continues creating the environment I'm looking for throughout the flowering room. And Frosted Guava seems perfectly happy inside it. 🌬️ The 8×8 Is Becoming One Garden One of the most exciting things about this stage isn't just watching Frosted Guava. It's looking around the entire 8×8. What began as individual plants occupying their own little spaces has gradually transformed into one enormous flowering ecosystem. Every phenotype still has its own personality. Different structures. Different stretch. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. But together they're becoming one living canopy. And Frosted Guava has found her place within it. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate. She's simply contributing her own character to the garden. And that's exactly what this project was designed to show. 🔭 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue gaining volume and density, the frost should become increasingly obvious, and those beautiful white pistils will slowly begin telling us more about the plant's progression toward maturity. For now, though, I want to see her continue doing exactly what she's doing. Keep the leaves healthy. Keep eating photons. Keep building. Keep filling out. And keep showing us what this particular Frosted Guava phenotype has hidden inside her genetics. She's got her own rhythm. I'm just here to watch it unfold. ❤️ Final Thoughts – She Has Found Her Spice Frosted Guava doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to compete with anyone. She's Frosted Guava. And she's starting to look really, really good. The deep green foliage. The beautiful white pistils. The first serious signs of frost. The developing flower mass. The way she's gradually filling out across her branches. Everything is coming together. And perhaps that's the most satisfying part of growing different phenotypes together. You give them the same environment. The same philosophy. The same care. And then you step back and watch them tell you who they are. Frosted Guava is telling us now. She's elegant. She's consistent. She's lush. She's frosty. And she's got her own spice. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this adventure possible with these fantastic genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this journey on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and enthusiasm make documenting this entire 8×8 Adventure incredibly special. Until next week... Let's keep watching this girl eat photons and turn them into flowers. ☀️🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Pheno 1 dark purple : On the nose, it reveals a sharp burst of fresh lemon, layered with a powerful eucalyptus aroma that’s both invigorating and camphorous. A truly refreshing and vibrant terpene profile😈🍋 Pheno 2 Green : this one is a real surprise! If I close my eyes, it’s like Nutella! It’s as if you’ve just walked into a kitchen where hazelnuts have been freshly roasted 🤤🌰 Pheno 3 light purple : It’s a mix of the first two with a hint of amarena cherry at the end🍒🍧

Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green. The FastBuds Blackberry is a beautiful shade of purple. I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine for one more week then I'll flush for a week before cutting her down. The 2 Blackberry's I cut down last week were kind of scrawny, but I did smoke one of the main cola buds and it was tastier than I expected, very fruity. It also got me HIGH AF!! I'm looking forward to how this last one finishes up. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Good morning growmies! I am finally back online after moving house and being without internet for weeks. These ladies took a battering and bruising in transit, and were left in the dark for 4 days, starved of water and food for 9 days TWICE inside 3 weeks. Still, can you believe the progress despite all that? Wowza, when RQS say these Epsilon F1s are fast they are NOT JOKING, and OH MY the smell is soooooooooooooooooo good. It's really a complex sweet and fruity scent with delicate notes of spice and sandalwood. I am super curious now. All five plants are within a couple of inches of each other, the tallest being 72cm currently (Dinah!). I am so very impressed with these plants that I am considering running a full tent of Epsilon F1s for my next grow! I wonder if I can get a bulk discount?! 😬😁 Day 54: Fertigated 10l Day 56: They are not slowing down. Ally, Normani, Lauren, and Dinah are all similar size, Camila is a bit smaller but in terms of development they are all very very close to each other. I am really impressed by the uniformity here, more impressed by the speed, and most impressed by the scent. They are not strong smelling, but if you get close or have a squeeze it wafts over you like an exquisite perfume. It is the most complex cannabis scent I have experienced yet. Really really interesting, I am really excited for the eventual smoke review so that I can properly understand the complexity at play here. The breeder and sponsor of this grow Royal Queen Seeds have offered to sponsor a full tent of this strain, if that works out then I will be doing another grow series right after this one. Fingers crossed!

Apple Strudel AKA Mystery 2 is a beast! Love watching this one do her thing. She might have quit growing up, but she is making up for it in the bud sites, they are thick ☺️
