๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ช BIG MAMA Is Still BIG MAMA โ€” Heavy, Beautiful & Getting LOUD! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š GUESS WHAT?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA! And when I say BIG MAMA... I mean BIG. I mean HEAVY. I mean this girl is getting to the point where the yo-yos are becoming part of the family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ Seriously, look at this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's carrying some serious weight. And she's demanding support like she owns the entire tent. Actually... she might have a point. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ This is no longer a situation where we simply look at her and admire the flowers. We look at her, admire the flowers, check the branches, check the support, and ask ourselves: "Okay, Big Mama... what else needs a yo-yo today?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ But honestly, I absolutely love seeing her like this. She's a substantial plant, with beautiful flowers and a presence that's impossible to ignore. And the aroma? Oh, Mama... You're doing very well in that department too! She's not quite as aggressively loud as her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, our famously unhappy girl who seems determined to announce her presence to the entire neighbourhood. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama has that same wonderful aromatic character. That same kind of appeal. That same beautiful profile. Just with a little less volume turned up to eleven. For now, anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ So this week, we're giving Big Mama her own spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Let's get into 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‘‘ WEEK 14 โ€” BIG MAMA MEANS BUSINESS If you've been following this diary, you already know this girl. She's not exactly the kind of plant that quietly disappears into the background. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. And now she's got weight. A LOT of weight. She's continuing to develop, and as she progresses, supporting her has become an important part of keeping those heavy branches where they need to be. The yo-yos are doing their job. The support is doing its job. And we're doing ours by keeping an eye on the plant and making sure she has the support she needs. At this stage, we're not trying to reinvent her structure. We're not trying to force her into a different shape. We're simply helping her carry what she's built. And what she's built is pretty damn impressive. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has earned her name. No arguments. 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’ช HEAVY MAMA NEEDS HER YO-YOS! Let's talk about the obvious. This girl is heavy! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The flowers have developed to the point where the branches need plenty of support. And when I say plenty... I mean we're using yo-yos, checking the structure, and making sure the plant is supported properly. Because a plant can look beautiful in photographs, but when you're standing in front of her, you also have to deal with the physical reality of that structure. Branches carry weight. Flowers add weight. And as the plant develops, the support system becomes part of keeping everything stable. Big Mama is giving us a very practical reminder of that. She's not asking us to do some elaborate training routine. She's asking us to help support the plant she has become. And that's exactly what we're doing. No unnecessary drama. No trying to turn her into something she's not. Just supporting the structure, observing how she's carrying herself, and making adjustments when needed. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. Sometimes it's about making sure the work the plant has already done doesn't become a problem. And Big Mama has certainly done plenty of work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช 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 NOT JUST BIG โ€” BEAUTIFULLY DEVELOPED Size is one thing. But what I really want to appreciate here is the overall plant. Big Mama isn't simply occupying space. She's developed her own structure, her own flower formation, and her own expression of these Godfather OG genetics. And that's what makes her interesting. We've followed her through the earlier stages. We've watched her grow. We've watched her fill her space. We've watched the flowers develop. And now we're looking at a substantial plant that needs a substantial amount of support. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's not the same plant we were looking at weeks ago. That's the whole point of documenting the journey. The photographs give us the visual timeline. The weekly updates give us the context. And when we put them together, we can appreciate the progression rather than judging the plant from one isolated moment. Big Mama has continued to evolve. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's looking beautiful. And she's approaching the later part of her journey in her own way. Let's give her credit for that. 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 AND THAT AROMA... MAMA KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING! Okay. Let's get to one of my favourite subjects. The smell! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ Big Mama is smelling amazing. And I really mean that. Her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, has been particularly aggressive with her aroma. That girl has been making herself known from a different postcode. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama? She's giving us something very similar in character, with a little less intensity at the moment. And I love that comparison. Because we're not talking about two completely unrelated plants. We're looking at two individual Godfather OG phenotypes growing in the same room. And we're noticing similarities in their aromatic character, alongside differences in how strongly they express it. Pheno A is louder. Pheno B is a little more reserved. But Big Mama is absolutely holding her own. Her aroma is beautiful. Her presence is there. And she's giving us another reason to be curious about what the finished result will be like after harvest, drying, and curing. Of course, the aroma can change throughout those stages. What we're smelling now is part of the story, not the final verdict. We'll wait until the journey is complete before making any final claims about her cured profile. But right now? I'm very happy with what she's giving us. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ TWO SISTERS โ€” SIMILAR CHARACTER, DIFFERENT VOLUME This is one of the most interesting comparisons in the Godfather OG diaries. Godfather OG Pheno A and Godfather OG Pheno B. Two individual plants. Shared room. Shared general environment. Shared lighting ecosystem. Shared nutritional philosophy. And yet, each has her own personality. Pheno A has been our famously unhappy girl. She's had her difficulties, but she's also become incredibly aromatic. Pheno B, our Big Mama, has her own challenges and characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She needs plenty of support. And she's giving us an aroma that reminds me of her sister, even if she isn't quite as loud right now. That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. We can notice the similarities without pretending they're identical. We can appreciate the differences without automatically deciding one is better than the other. And we can remain curious about how those differences might develop through the rest of the journey. Same family. Different expressions. Two very interesting girls. And I'm looking forward to finding out how their final stories compare. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ OUR JOB RIGHT NOW? SUPPORT, OBSERVE & LET HER FINISH This week, there's no dramatic new intervention to report. We're not trying to keep ourselves busy just for the sake of doing something. Big Mama has already built her structure. She's already developed her flowers. And she's already carrying a considerable amount of weight. So our focus is straightforward. Observe her. Maintain the shared environment. Provide the support she needs. Keep an eye on her overall development. And let her continue toward the finish. The yo-yos are doing their part. We're doing ours. And Big Mama is doing hers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ I genuinely enjoy this stage because it reminds me that being a grower isn't always about actively changing something. Sometimes it's about recognizing what the plant needs from you at that particular moment. Earlier in the cycle, our attention may have been on structure and development. Now, with Big Mama carrying so much weight, support and observation are a big part of the picture. We don't need to interfere unnecessarily. We need to pay attention. And when the plant needs us, we respond. Simple. Practical. And very much part of 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”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ROOM โ€” TWELVE INDIVIDUAL STORIES For anyone discovering the 8ร—8 Adventure for the first time, here's the idea behind the project. We're following twelve individual plants and phenotypes sharing one room. They share the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation approach, and nutritional programme. But they don't all develop in the same way. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some develop different flower structures. Some move faster. Some take their time. Some need more physical support than others. And some make their presence known through their aroma. Big Mama is giving us a combination of several of those characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's aromatic. And she needs plenty of support to carry the structure she's developed. That's her story. And it's different from her sister's story, even though they share the same genetic name. This is why we keep individual diaries. If we only documented the tent as a whole, we'd miss so much of what makes each plant interesting. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. One shared adventure. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES Our upgraded lighting setup remains part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment included in the setup. We've been operating the upgraded setup at approximately 59% power from the plug, with our previous upper-canopy reference around 1,500 PPFD. Actual light intensity varies throughout the canopy depending on plant height, position, and distance from the fixtures. And that's important when we're looking at a plant like Big Mama. She's a substantial, three-dimensional plant, not a flat surface. Different parts of her structure sit at different heights and receive different amounts of light. The goal of this project is to observe how the different plants develop under the shared lighting environment, rather than assuming they'll all respond identically. Big Mama is giving us her own answer. She's developed a substantial structure, she's carrying plenty of weight, and she's moving through the later part of her journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this upgraded setup across twelve different phenotypes. More lighting capability, controlled output, and plenty of interesting differences to observe. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” KEEPING THE SCIENCE HONEST As with the other reports this week, let's also talk about our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. We're documenting this as part of the lighting routine used in the room. Plants respond to the spectrum and timing of light through several photoreceptor systems. One important example is the phytochrome system, which responds to red and far-red wavelengths and helps plants interpret their light environment. Those signals can influence plant development, but the response depends on the spectrum, intensity, timing, duration, and the plant's physiological state. That's why we need to be careful about making claims. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is an experimental part of our routine. We're not claiming it automatically increases yield, makes flowers denser, or guarantees a better finish. Those outcomes would require proper comparisons and measurements. We're documenting what we're doing, discussing the relevant science, and remaining open to what the evidence tells us. That's the approach I prefer. No magic promises. No pretending we know something we haven't measured. Just curiosity, observation, and honest documentation. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก 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 THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” WHY WAVELENGTHS MATTER While we're talking about light, it's worth revisiting the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect is an established phenomenon in photosynthesis in which combining certain red and far-red wavelengths can produce a greater-than-expected photosynthetic response under the relevant experimental conditions. This involves the cooperation of two major photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both are essential components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Their light-absorption characteristics differ, and supplying suitable wavelengths together can improve the balance between their activity under certain conditions. That's the fascinating science behind the phenomenon. However, the Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment automatically produces the same response. Red and far-red light are not interchangeable, and the results depend on the specific wavelengths, their intensity, and the conditions of exposure. So while it's interesting to discuss the Emerson effect alongside our lighting experiments, we shouldn't automatically assume that our additional 15-minute red-light period reproduces it or provides a measurable benefit. To establish that, we'd need suitable spectral information and controlled comparisons. The science is real. The potential interactions are fascinating. But the outcome of our particular routine still needs evidence. And I think it's much more valuable to explain that honestly than to promise results we haven't demonstrated. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” CONSISTENCY WHILE WE OBSERVE The previous nutritional reference for the room was: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous solution readings were approximately pH 6.04 and EC 2.05 mS/cm. These are the last recorded room reference values, rather than a claim that every measurement was repeated this week. We're keeping the overall approach consistent while observing the plants' individual progress. For Big Mama, the physical side of the story is becoming particularly noticeable. She's heavy. She's carrying substantial flowers. And she's asking for plenty of structural support. That's where our attention is going right now: observing her development, supporting the plant where necessary, and allowing her to continue through the final part of her 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”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The previous shared room reference readings remain: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series, upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 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 Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L Same general room. Same shared environmental strategy. Same lighting ecosystem. But a very individual expression from Big Mama. She's heavy, she's beautiful, and she's becoming increasingly interesting as we approach the end of the journey. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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“ธ BIG MAMA DESERVES HER PORTRAITS One of the things I love about these individual diaries is being able to look back through the photographs and follow the progression. The early structure. The development. The flowers. The changes. And now, the substantial plant we're looking at today. Big Mama has a presence that's difficult to miss. And as she gets heavier, the support system becomes another part of her visual story. Those yo-yos aren't there for decoration. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช They're helping support the structure she's developed. I want to document that part of the journey too, because growing isn't only about showing beautiful flowers. It's also about showing what it takes to keep a plant supported and stable as it develops. The photographs preserve those details. The weekly reports explain what we're seeing. And together, they give us a much more complete picture of the plant. 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 DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE WITH HER SISTER I know I've mentioned her sister's aroma several times, but I want to make one thing clear. This isn't a competition where one phenotype has to defeat the other. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Pheno A has her own personality. She's had a difficult journey, and she's been incredibly expressive aromatically. Pheno B has her own personality too. She's substantial, heavy, beautiful, and giving us a very appealing aroma of her own. She may not be quite as loud at the moment, but that doesn't make her less interesting. They're individual plants. They can share similarities without being identical. And we can appreciate both without needing to declare a winner before the journey is complete. I'm enjoying the comparison. I'm enjoying the differences. And I'm especially looking forward to seeing how their individual stories continue through harvest, drying, and curing. Because that's where we'll get another opportunity to understand what makes each phenotype special. 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 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

She's still BIG MAMA. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's demanding yo-yos and support. And she's smelling absolutely amazing. Her sister might currently be the louder one, but Big Mama has a similar aromatic character that I genuinely love. Different volume. Similar appeal. Two individual phenotypes with their own expressions. And I can't wait to see how their stories unfold from here. This week, we're not trying to do anything dramatic. We're supporting the plant. We're observing. We're maintaining the shared environment. And we're letting her continue toward the finish. Sometimes that's exactly what a plant needs from us. Not more interference. Not a new project. Just a grower paying attention and providing the support required. And Big Mama certainly needs that support now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's done the hard work of building herself. Now we're helping her carry it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate her size. Let's appreciate her flowers. Let's appreciate that beautiful aroma. Let's appreciate the individuality of this phenotype. And let's remember that the 8ร—8 Adventure isn't about making twelve plants look the same. It's about discovering what makes each one different. Big Mama has given us plenty to appreciate. And she's not finished telling her story yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing your thing.

Real flowering started this week. The stretch just started and the crazy bushiness continues. Did some fairly heavy defoliation on the under canopy and select large leaves blocking light to the bud sights.... but controlling the growth is a balance. Trying to keep as much photosynthesis as possible until I can really tell which bud sites will be the real colas. I did a full reservoir swap with flowering nutrients, and a pH balanced water only flush in between (about 18 hours just running pH 5.9 water). Once I put the new nutrient solution in, the plant just shot up. It was spectacular the difference in literally only half a day. I have noticed that a thin coating of something was on the air line of the bubbler and a couple other surfaces. Cleaned it off before the water flush, but still note a very slight film on the top of the fresh nutrient solution. It's a touch worrying but not sure it's an issue. Will watch carefully.

Week 10 Flower โ€” The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story โ€” and this week, Iโ€™ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos youโ€™ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I donโ€™t just snap and go โ€” I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document โ€” theyโ€™re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I donโ€™t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process โ€” and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality โ€” dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldnโ€™t be happier. This weekโ€™s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If youโ€™re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once itโ€™s live โ€” there are moments that simply canโ€™t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating โ€” theyโ€™re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision โ€” weโ€™re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it โ€” theyโ€™re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes โ€” weโ€™ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. Itโ€™s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it โ€” the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now itโ€™s your turn โ€” Iโ€™d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely โ€” so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful โ€” expressive, vibrant, clean. Itโ€™s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing โ€” thatโ€™s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything weโ€™ve seen and lived in this growโ€ฆ this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey โ€” thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers โ€” I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. Itโ€™s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And weโ€™re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Welp, These took a Bit longer than my Cream Cookies and still didn't fill out quite like I thought they would.. But they are still a very beautiful strain and a joy to have grown. They smell stronger and way more lovely than the cream cookies thou just a beautiful aroma I'd really like to grow these again Indoors where I can control them easier. (Sadly they dried into wispy nothings and we turned them all into bubble hash) #3 took the hit of some aphids and ended up in a frozen hash pile in our fridge along with two cream cookies from the run. It's frozen weight combined was 203g. *will update with dry*

NPK Ratio is 1-2-3 , Cal/Mg ratio is 4-1.5 Target EC for this week is 1.2 start and end week with 1.3. Checking plants will determine timing of strength Donne one pass off long misting (3min) with diluted solution @ 0.84@C Set new misting time @ 60s ON time Finally have time for managing canopy, pull down taller branches and position all tops to fit under screen without touching. Try ro spread them evenly across the net, top per square of net Defoliating all girls, remove all fan leaves and prune lots of smaller branches from middle. Lot of foliage is removed! After stripping humidity drop significantly (41%) , need to install humidifier again to keep RH @ 50-52% Set dehumidifier thermostat to work @ 50% RH.

This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill soulution is @ 18c Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC. I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, Iโ€™ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH. Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washingโ€ฆ Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters. The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants. Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.
