Okay so I'm trying something new, since I've gone away from a switch to water for the last week flush I harvested the tops and best smalls and packed the cannatrol full. I'm giving the under growth a bit more time to rippen before I harvest that for the the freezer. If this turns out to be a bad idea I'll not do it again in the future. The last long video is what's left in the tent right now. Let me know if any of you have experience doing this. Updated with a bunch of pictured of dried and cured. Ended up with 186g of beautiful flower. 72g of untrimmed smalls I'll make into RSO, I have a lot of back and nerve pain and RSO hands down the only thing that brings me actual relive, I'm late to the party on this one but I set a side part of the grow for it now. I let the under canopy and shorter tops go another 10 days feed at half strength and I'm glad I did, it ripened up nicely and definitely got a lot of color. I forgot to get pictures of that harvest but I will when I pull it from the freezer to wash. My test jar of this washed at 4+% (the last picture). Last update will be results of that wash. Last update on this one, I added a couple hash/rosin pics at the end. She washed from plant to rosin at 4.03% the terps are musky skunk, sweet pastries, and fresh Linen. I'd definitely grow this one again.

Day 14 VEG: A good week of settling in and heading outwards to the pots edges this week. No stress , just a nice, relaxed , adjusting to the world they will inhabit for the next 10 weeks or so. They are nearly all on their 5th nodes now so will possibly begin to play with the 5th growth nodes this week to break the apical dominance ( focus of energy on the main stem and bud) . I do like how neat and tidy autos can grow naturally but they can also get leggy and waste a lot of grow room vertical space that is always at a premium for me in my cramped , awkward space. I plan to now use 3 different methods on the Amnesia haze to compare side-by-side as we grow. Will hopefully answer some questions about the methods and which produces better results. One will be topped , one f.i.mmed and the last one trained over horizontal at the 5th node but uncut. The last method is better suited to a wider pot than the ones I am using but will be worth a try !. They are currently happy and healthy with no signs of any genetic issues but the #2 is in a more compacted soil which has resulted in an odd rectangular shape to her overall footprint. Her middle leaf points are retarded on all of her fan leaves so far and it will be interesting to see how she progresses too. The Girl scout cookies are also nice and healthy looking so far with no concerns at all. I plan to defoliation one of these ladies at intervals and stripped her right back during flowering while the other one is kept intact with a light defol as it grows to avoid light blocking only. Again this could answer a few queries regarding autoflowers and defoliation for a few of us. I hope to make this an interesting and informative run and welcome any comments , advice/questions or general chatter as we go along. ANY SPONSORS WITH TOO MUCH MERCH OR STUFF TO TEST , I AM GAME LOL. Just saying...... Until next time growmies. Be well UPDATE DAY 15 LST. today I started working with the ladies and completed the planned methods for them #1 Amnesia haze had the F.I.M which inhopenworks ( irony at it's best!!). I chose topping of Amnesia haze #2 as she looks like her nodes will be quite far apart compared to the other 2 and her lower growth was nowhere near as bushy as her 2 sisters either. This topping should stop her pushing the height of the lights up for her lankinness. #3 is going to be pulled over on her 5th node once it is long enough to pin down to 90° . Girl scout cookies have been cleaned of their 1st and 2nd nodes so i can focus the attention on the 5 remaining mains as they grow out more.. watch this space.lol .

Nové větve hezky vyrostly. Dám jim ještě 2 týdny a potom bych rád přepnul světlo na 12/12 Na rostlinách se objevují lehké náznaky popálení živinami. Některé listy mají hnědé konečky ale opravdu jen v malé míře D51 Pondělí: Použil jsme LST abych udržel rostliny v jedné výšce. Během LST mi z 50% praskla 2 větve u HazeBerry 2 ve spoji po posledním zastřižení . Jedna větev je v pořádku. Druhá po 3 dnech vypadá že přežije i když vypadala velmi špatně. Holky dostaly 1L vody s 0,5ml/1l RQS Booster Bigger Flowers. D54 Čtvrtek: Poslední velké LST a Defoliace, kdy jsem z každé rostliny odstranil celkem 16 spodních listů D55 Pátek: Dostaly 1,5L vody s vypsanými živinami Holky jsem postříkal výluhem z hmyzího trusu, který má repelentní účinky téměř na vše.

well, it's exactly 12 weeks :) and my house is full of lemon aroma :) the girl endured really difficult growth, but she coped with everything perfectly :) who followed the growth, you saw that she grew on the balcony for 10 weeks, and she spent the last 2 in the grow tent :) 500 gr wet weight !!!!:) , before putting it in the ground I expected less than 10 g dry yield :D then this growth turned out super well, if it wasn't for my vacation I would have let it grow for about 2 weeks I think. but everything is still very good, I'll go home, fix it and do a smoke review :).

se realizo una 2da poda apical a una de las plants la otra solo quedara con la poda apical inicial y se transplanto a maceteros de 11lts.

Harvest is imminent! I'm basically just waiting for her to drink her last watering. So 1-3 days I guess - my last few "finished" plants basically stopped drinking much at the end, and she seems to be the same. But my last post was about a week ago so one more flowering week report! A few days ago I took off some of the brittle taco-ified fan leafs. My guess is they don't do much for photosynthesis anymore and just prevent lower growth from getting light. Upper leafs by now have turned a pretty violet/plum color! I put a leaf from another plant in the picture for comparison.😊 Structurally there is little change since last week. Smell is still incredible too! She is significantly heavier than three weeks ago so the stems are losing the battle against gravity.. but as she's coming down in a few I'm not gonna go wild with jojos or garden wire. 🤷

Hi guys... welcome back I wanted to dedicate this diary to my resilience, to my constant ambition, to my desire to always try again to never stop chasing a dream....To all those who opened their doors to me this year, but also to those who closed them to me!...Yes, especially to those who closed them in my face.... Because it is precisely thanks to these people that they have become increasingly stubborn in telling you... I can DO it! And in particular I dedicate it to you....to all the people who love and enjoy watching and appreciating my growth.... thanks guys Happy and abundant harvests for everyone👩🏼‍🌾

successful bending into the net. it'll be an uneven stretch but I'll be preparing with a second net. grower love lezgoo

Only given RO water for the past week for WC2 although, WC1 has been flushing for two weeks so I think today will be their last day of watering and then chop them down due to a little unwanted foxtailing in WC2 and the light pulled back. Before chop theyll have a short period in the dark. Probably not going to have another update for a couple of weeks until the drying process is complete though. Both plants are purpling with WC1's being more intense, and the sparkling trichomes is beautiful stuff excited to try them.

Sep 9th flipped to flower

Wow. The gruntz is insane. I left for work and when I got back, WTF! The gruntz was touching the light. It wasn’t burning but wow we had to fold over the tops and put a net in to hold her down. It’s been 3 weeks of flower and this girl is still reaching for the moon! Nasha genetics ( we take freebies for the name drop!) whatever you do, holy cow. They are starting to hair up now. I think the gruntz could’ve filled the tent by herself but there are 3 other plants in with her. I’m wandering if the widows will get enough light. We might have to raise the pots off the floor. And with spring coming (well it keeps snowing here but they say it’s coming) we are getting busy with the garden and life. Anyways we didn’t do much with the gruntz other than water. Now that she is getting some hair we will top dress some build a bloom and or some craft blend, just to help. Around a tablespoon per pot. Over all it was a good week, we just hope the gruntz stops stretching soon. Wish you all the best. Spread some love and share some bud!

FBA2502 Plants 1-6 Week 7 May 11– 17 FLOWER 3 Nutrients : Micro 25 ml Gro 10 ml Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/11 PH 6.56, PPM 1560, temp 69 2ltr each 5/12 PH 6.31, PPM 1120, temp 68 1 ltr each 5/14 PH 6.66, PPM 1280, temp 70 1 ltr each 5/15 PH 6.66, PPM 850, temp 72 1 ltr each 5/11 Defoliation, feed, pics & videos I made 4 gallons, used 3 to water then poured the runoff back into the rest in the bucket. The next feeding, I added a gallon of tap water to residual and ph to 6,31 temp 69 & PPm 1120. Did the same on 5/14 and 15 using up the remainder of the feed solution. I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. I have been giving good reviews on the AC infinity system. However, during the time I’ve owned this tent (2 yrs), I had to replace the lights twice, fans, humidifier and now the vent twice also. Everything but the tent containment has been replaced. AC infinity does stand by their products, but they are in California, and it takes at least 2 weeks to receive the replacement. This is extremely frustrating at the critical transition to flower for my equipment to fail again. For the time being until a replacement arrives, I pulled the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3 and hooked it up. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This should create a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. I do have 3 circulating fans in the tent to move air around the plants. It looks like growth spurts have slowed and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All of them (6) are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. The tallest #4 &5 and #6 have very light leaves and appear nutrient deficient compared to the shorter phenotypes. Pictures taken later in the week show fading on a few the older leaves. All are receiving the same solution and are in the same soil blend. Moving the gals in and out of the tent for their glamor shots, I bent one limb and snapped another. The bent one I taped with a splint and the snapped one I medicated manuka honey and wired it back to the main stalk. Leaves look like sativa leaning. I hope FBA2502-2 is a good daytime. I’m getting excited to see what develops in the next month or so. News Break: I’ve been informed that 2502 is FastBuds New Frostbanger and is indica for nighttime. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get a sativa to test because I really need a daytime strain. The 2 Blue Cheese plants I just grew are also nighttime. Upon opening the tent, a faint odor was detected, and some stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. Pictures of the puffy buds even show differences. #4 &5 buds hairs are different from the others being crinklier and the others are straighter. Some like #2 &5 are showing frost on the leaves. Wow at the beginning of flower to have that much frost. They are living up to the new strain’s name. I’ve noticed that when I water, sometimes water shoots out of the side holes I the air pots. I will pack the soil firmly into the sides for future runs. Measurements: #1 15” #2 20” #3 17” #4 30” #5 31” #6 24” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.

👑 8×8 Adventure – Final Harvest Report 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno A by Zamnesia 👑🔥 💚 The Unhappy Queen's Final Chapter — Side-by-Side Drying, Beautiful Flowers, and a Result Worth Celebrating! 🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 My friends... IT'S TIME TO GIVE OUR UNHAPPY QUEEN HER FINAL HARVEST REPORT! 😂👑🔥 And what a journey this girl has given us! Godfather OG Pheno A by Zamnesia has been one of the most interesting and memorable plants in this adventure. Not necessarily because she was the happiest-looking girl in the room, but because of everything she showed us along the way. She had her own challenges, her own personality, and her own way of developing. And despite all of that... HERE SHE IS! Beautiful flowers, plenty of stickiness, a very respectable final result, and another opportunity to learn something from our 8×8 experiment. Before we get into the details, I would like to invite everyone who hasn't followed her journey from the beginning to visit the previous diary updates. We've documented her development week by week, including the challenges, observations, photographs, and everything that happened throughout her growing journey. There's quite a story behind this girl, and all the details are there! For this final report, we're bringing together the harvest, drying comparison, trimming, final numbers, and how we prepared her flowers for curing. And then, of course, we'll return with the smoke review when we're ready to give her flowers the attention they deserve. So, let's finish this journey properly! 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — THE UNHAPPY QUEEN OF THE 8×8 For anyone joining us now, Godfather OG Pheno A was part of our 8×8 Adventure, where twelve individual plants shared the same general growing environment and lighting schedule. This was also part of our 12/12 from seed experiment. The idea was to observe how different genetics and phenotypes would develop when sharing the same general conditions. And this girl certainly had her own expression! Compared with several of the other plants in the room, she never seemed entirely happy with the environment. We could see that she was behaving differently, and although she continued growing and developing, she didn't always have that cheerful appearance we love seeing in our plants. But here's something important: She was actually very strong. She was easy to manage, gave us no major growing problems, and continued doing her thing despite not looking particularly happy throughout the run. We couldn't simply change the entire room around one phenotype without affecting all the others. That's part of the reality of running several different genetics together. The environment was shared, and every plant had to express herself within those conditions. And this Queen managed to finish her journey. She may have been unhappy, but she certainly wasn't a quitter! 😂👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 HARVEST DAY — BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND PLENTY OF STICKINESS Once the growing chapter was complete, we moved on to harvest and post-harvest processing. And honestly, my friends, I really enjoyed handling her flowers! She produced some beautiful, compact buds with a lovely dense appearance. The flowers were sticky, aromatic, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. She's a different kind of plant compared with some of the others we've grown, and that's something I appreciate. Not every phenotype needs to look or behave like the others. Different structures, different flower formations, different expressions. And this girl certainly brought something of her own to the table. Looking at the final flowers, it's easy to appreciate the work that went into bringing her to this point. The whole journey is there in the final result. And yes, despite calling her our unhappy Queen throughout the run, I have to say that I'm very happy with what she gave us! 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ WET WEIGHT — THE FIRST NUMBERS Before drying, the total wet material was approximately: 🌿 1,030–1,040 grams That's counting the harvested material together, before the drying process. Not a gigantic plant, not an enormous harvest, but a perfectly respectable result for this individual phenotype. And I want to make something clear. I don't grow simply to chase the biggest number on the scale. I appreciate a good harvest, of course, but quality, aroma, flavour, and the overall experience matter much more to me. Terpenes over grams! And we're going to have plenty more to discuss when we get to her smoke review. For now, let's see what happened after drying. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING EXPERIMENT — TWO APPROACHES, ONE PLANT This is one of the parts I particularly wanted to document. As some of you already know, we're testing two different drying approaches during this harvest. We divided material from the same plant between two methods: 🌿 Flowers dried using our regular drying approach. 🌿 Flowers dried inside DryFerm drying bags. The idea is to make a side-by-side comparison using material from the same individual plant. That gives us a much more interesting comparison than simply taking flowers from completely different plants and trying to attribute every difference to the drying method. Of course, there are always variables involved, but keeping the genetics and plant origin the same gives us a useful starting point. And what are we looking for? We're particularly interested in the differences we may observe in aroma, flavour, and the final terpene expression. But we're not going to announce a winner based on appearance alone! The drying stage is only one part of the process. We'll need to evaluate the finished flowers properly, after curing, and compare them during the smoke review. So, for now, the experiment remains open. Two drying approaches. One phenotype. And plenty of curiosity! 😂🌬️ A special thank you to DryFerm for providing the bags and making this comparison possible. We'll return to the results when we have something meaningful to say. ──────────────────────── ✂️ TRIMMING TIME — TRIM BIN AND CURVED SCISSORS After drying, it was time to bring out the trimming equipment! As usual, we worked with our trim bin and our curved scissors. And I have to say, I really like those curved scissors. They're comfortable to work with, and I particularly appreciate the shape when working around individual flowers and their natural structure. It's one of those tools that becomes part of your regular workflow without you even thinking about it. You pick them up, start trimming, and before you know it, they've become one of your favourite pieces of equipment. 😂✂️ The trim bin was there to make the process more organised, allowing us to work through the flowers while keeping the trimming material collected separately. And look at those buds! Compact, dense, sticky, and absolutely beautiful. This was a very enjoyable trimming session. Sometimes you finish a harvest and feel relieved that the work is over. Other times, you find yourself appreciating the flowers as you work through them. With this girl, it was definitely the second one. She might have been our unhappy Queen in the grow room, but she certainly gave us something to smile about at the trimming table! 👑💚 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ FINAL DRY WEIGHT — LET'S SEE WHAT SHE GAVE US! And now, the numbers! After drying and processing, we separated the results according to the drying method. 🌿 Regular drying / glass jar batch: 127.8 grams 🌬️ DryFerm batch – first portion: 8.1 grams 🌬️ DryFerm batch – second portion: 15.2 grams That gives us a combined dry result of: 👑 TOTAL: 151.1 GRAMS Not bad at all for our unhappy Queen! The two DryFerm portions together gave us 23.3 grams, while the main batch accounted for 127.8 grams. And I'm genuinely happy with these numbers. She wasn't the biggest plant in the room, but she delivered a very respectable amount of beautiful flowers. More importantly, we now have separate batches that allow us to continue our drying comparison. We'll keep those observations for the smoke review, where we can discuss the aroma and flavour differences in much greater detail. For now, I'm happy with the final result. 151.1 grams from one individual plant. A good collection of flowers. And another interesting chapter completed! 💚⚖️🌸 ──────────────────────── ? INTO THE JARS — DARK STORAGE AND THE CURING STAGE Once the flowers were trimmed and the final weights recorded, it was time to prepare them for storage and curing. For this batch, we used glass jars. We also used dark jars that prevent light from passing through, helping protect the flowers from unnecessary light exposure during storage. The different drying batches were kept separate so we can continue following the comparison. And now comes another important part of the journey: curing. Drying and curing are not the same thing. Drying removes excess moisture from the harvested flowers. Curing is the following stage, when the flowers are stored under appropriate conditions and their internal moisture gradually redistributes. Even when the outside of a flower feels dry, some moisture can remain deeper inside the material. During the first weeks, we'll be opening the jars regularly, checking the flowers, and allowing accumulated moisture and excess humidity to escape when needed. This is the familiar jar-curing routine many growers use. The idea isn't simply to open the jars because the calendar says so. It's to monitor the condition of the flowers and make sure they're behaving as expected. We want to avoid trapping excessive moisture inside the jars, and we also don't want to leave the flowers exposed unnecessarily. Once the moisture has stabilised and the flowers are progressing properly, we can gradually reduce how frequently we open them. Patience is part of the process! And that's why I don't like rushing these final stages. We've spent weeks following these plants, so giving the flowers enough time after harvest is just as important as documenting everything that happened before it. The jars are closed. The curing stage continues. And the smoke review will come after the flowers have had the time they deserve. ?💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE FINAL FLOWERS — A LITTLE APPRECIATION One of the things I really enjoy about this stage is being able to look at the finished flowers and appreciate the details. The compact structure. The density. The stickiness. The different shapes and sizes. And the character that makes this phenotype her own. She's not the kind of plant that needs to produce enormous flowers to impress me. I like what she gave us. I like the final numbers. And I particularly appreciate that we managed to document her journey from the early growing stages all the way through harvest and post-harvest processing. That's what these individual diaries are about. Not just showing a finished product, but preserving the journey that led us there. And this Queen has certainly earned her place in the collection! 👑🌸📸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES — THAT'S THE 8×8 ADVENTURE! Before closing, I want to return to something that has been at the heart of this entire project. Godfather OG Pheno A shared the room with eleven other individual plants. The general environmental conditions, lighting strategy, and overall approach were shared. But her expression was different. She never looked quite as happy as some of the other girls, yet she continued growing, remained strong, and gave us a result that I'm genuinely pleased with. And that's exactly why I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes. If we only looked at the room as a whole, we would miss so many of these differences. One plant might be perfectly comfortable. Another might express herself differently. One might produce a large structure. Another might remain compact. And sometimes, as with this girl, a plant can look unhappy without necessarily being difficult to manage. There's always something to learn from observing the individual plant rather than assuming that every genetic expression will respond identically. Same room. Same general conditions. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different stories. That's our 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — OUR UNHAPPY QUEEN, ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! And here we are, my friends. The final harvest report for Godfather OG Pheno A by Zamnesia. 👑🔥💚 What can I say? She wasn't always the happiest-looking girl in the room. She made us question things along the way. She had her own way of expressing herself. But she was strong, resilient, easy to manage, and ultimately gave us a result that makes me very happy. We harvested approximately 1,030–1,040 grams of wet material. After drying and trimming, we finished with: 🌿 127.8 g from the main batch. 🌬️ 8.1 g from the first DryFerm batch. 🌬️ 15.2 g from the second DryFerm batch. 👑 151.1 grams in total. And now everything is safely stored in glass jars, in the dark, continuing through the curing stage. The DryFerm comparison is still something we'll be following, and we'll discuss the differences in aroma and flavour when we return with the smoke review. But beyond the numbers, I want to say something. This girl is among my favourites. Not because she was the easiest-looking plant in the room. Not because she was the biggest. But because I genuinely enjoyed following her, learning from her, and seeing what she managed to produce despite the differences we observed throughout the run. Sometimes a plant becomes memorable for reasons that go beyond the final weight. And this Queen is a perfect example. So, Godfather OG Pheno A... You may have been our unhappy Queen, but you've certainly made us happy with your final result! 😂👑💚 The growing chapter is complete. The harvest is finished. The flowers are trimmed and stored. And the curing journey continues. We'll be back with the smoke review once we've given her flowers the time they deserve. Until then, enjoy the photographs, and thank you for following this individual journey all the way here! ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS ADVENTURE POSSIBLE! A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for being part of this adventure from seed to harvest. 🌸💚 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of our growing journey. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that became part of our lighting experiment. 💡🔥 Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. A special thank you to DryFerm for providing the drying bags and allowing us to explore another post-harvest approach. I'm looking forward to sharing the results of our side-by-side comparison! 🌬️ And, of course, thank you to the GrowDiaries community!

Godfather OG Pheno A, our unhappy Queen... Thank you for the journey, the lessons, and the beautiful flowers. One plant. One individual story. And a very happy grower at the end of it! Growers Love & Happy Growing, my friends! 🌱💚👑🔥 LET'S GROW! 👑 8×8 Adventure – Godfather OG by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Smoke Review 🌿🔥 🍓 A Sweet Summer Fruit Salad, With a Woody Heart — One of My Favourite Jars from the Entire Run! 💚 Hello everyone, my friends! And here we are… finally opening the jar and talking about what this beautiful girl has given us! Godfather OG Pheno A. Our difficult Queen. Our unhappy girl. And, somehow, one of my favourite plants from the entire 8×8 Adventure! 😂👑 Sometimes the plants that make the journey more challenging end up giving us the biggest surprises at the finish line. And this girl is a perfect example. Her growing experience wasn't always straightforward, but when it comes to the final flowers, the aroma, the flavour, and the overall experience… I absolutely love her. Let's get into it! ──────────────────────── 🍓 THE AROMA & FLAVOUR — A VERY SPECIAL FRUIT SALAD My friends, this is where she really gets me. The first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful, sweet summer fruit salad. And I don't mean just any fruit salad! We're talking about a special combination of sweet, fruity notes, with a lovely richness that makes the whole profile particularly enjoyable. There's something bright and inviting about it, but it isn't simply sweet fruit from beginning to end. There's also a woody, herby character running through the experience, adding another dimension to the profile. If I had to describe her flavour in one sentence, I'd say: A sweet summer fruit salad, mixed with herbs, with a lovely woody character right through the middle. And the aroma follows a very similar direction. What I smell is remarkably close to what I taste. Of course, aroma and flavour aren't always identical, but in this case, they complement each other beautifully. She's sweet, fruity, herby, and woody, with a personality that makes her particularly memorable. And here's another interesting observation… Her profile is very similar to her sister's, but I find this phenotype a little louder. The same general family of flavours, but with a stronger presence. A little more volume, a little more expression, and a little more of everything I enjoy about this particular profile. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING COMPARISON — AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION As documented in the harvest reports, we divided flowers from the same plant between two drying approaches: 🌿 Traditional drying outside the bags. 🌬️ Drying inside the DryFerm bags. And after trying the finished flowers side by side, I have to say that I'm noticing something interesting. The flowers dried inside the DryFerm bags seem louder to my nose and palate. At least, that's my personal impression so far. I also noticed this tendency in other side-by-side comparisons throughout the project. Now, let's be clear: this is my observation from my own experience. It isn't a scientific conclusion, and I cannot tell you exactly why I'm noticing this difference. But when I compare the flowers, the bag-dried samples seem to have a stronger aromatic presence and a flavour that I personally enjoy even more. And that's precisely why I wanted to run these comparisons. Same plant. Same phenotype. Different drying approaches. I'm not going to pretend that my observations are laboratory results, but they are worth documenting, and I'll continue comparing the results as we work through the different plants. For now, the DryFerm flowers have certainly caught my attention! ──────────────────────── 🧠 THE EXPERIENCE — CREATIVE, HAPPY & READY FOR THE DAY This is another reason why I enjoy this girl so much. For my personal experience, she's a lovely daytime companion. I find her uplifting, creative, and enjoyable when I'm working, talking, creating content, or simply getting along with the day. She's the kind of flower that makes me want to put some music on, get things done, enjoy a conversation, or spend time doing something creative. The experience feels more uplifting than heavy to me. Looking at the overall character, I'd describe her as a hybrid that leans towards the more uplifting side. The profile I selected in my review reflects that impression: around 67% towards the Sativa side and 33% towards the Indica side. Of course, these percentages are simply my subjective way of describing the experience, not a laboratory measurement of her genetics or chemical composition. She's strong, but I find the experience enjoyable and functional for the kind of activities I mentioned. And that's something I particularly appreciate. ──────────────────────── 💚 MY PERSONAL EFFECTS & OBSERVATIONS The effects I personally associate with this phenotype are: ✨ Creative 😊 Happy 😁 A little giggly 🌿 Uplifting and enjoyable during the day I also selected anxiety and depression in the medical-relief section of my review, alongside insomnia. These are personal impressions from my experience, not medical claims or a recommendation to use cannabis to treat any condition. Everyone can respond differently, and this is simply how I experienced this particular flower. One effect worth mentioning is dry mouth. Nothing particularly surprising there, but it's definitely something I noticed. Keep some water nearby, my friends! 😂💧 ──────────────────────── 👑 THE FINAL VERDICT — ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! I have to say it again… I LOVE THIS GIRL! And it's funny because she wasn't necessarily the easiest plant to appreciate during the growing journey. She had her moments, and we certainly had to work around her individual expression in the room. But look at what we ended up with. Beautiful flowers. A very distinctive sweet and fruity profile. A lovely woody and herby dimension. An uplifting experience. And a jar that I genuinely have to be careful with, because otherwise it will disappear far too quickly! 😂🍓💚 She's one of those flowers that makes you want to keep going back for another look, another smell, and another little appreciation of what the breeders have created. Her profile is similar to her sister's, but this phenotype has a louder expression to my taste. And despite the challenges during the grow, she has earned a very special place among my favourites from the entire run. Sometimes a plant doesn't need to be the biggest, the easiest, or the most productive to become memorable. Sometimes it's all about what she gives you in the end. And this girl gave me something special. Godfather OG Pheno A… Our unhappy Queen. One of the most challenging girls in the room, but also one of the jars I enjoy opening the most. I wouldn't change that experience for anything. 👑🍓🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU! A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure.

Thank you for the journey! Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚👑🔥 P.S. — Just a little theory of mine! 🤔🌿 I've been thinking about something regarding the DryFerm bags. We know that terpenes are volatile compounds, meaning they can evaporate and move into the surrounding air. So here's a thought: could some of those compounds, instead of simply escaping into the room during drying, remain inside the bag's enclosed environment? And could some of them eventually re-equilibrate with the flowers, helping preserve that louder aroma we're noticing? I'm not saying this is what's happening, because I haven't tested or scientifically confirmed that mechanism. It's just a hypothesis that crossed my mind while observing the differences between the two drying methods. Maybe someone with a deeper understanding of terpene chemistry or packaging technology can shed some light on this! What do you think? Could this be part of the explanation, or is something else happening inside those bags? I'd love to hear your thoughts! 💚

I haven't done any cut on her all vegging long. Just a deep defoliation. She's been over 70 days old, and she's 8 days blooming already. NPK - 04 -14 -8 every watering.

Doing good so far no signs of deficiency or nutrient burn that I can see. Nutrient change on day 58 Had the ac go out for about day so had one day around 80-82 degrees F. Other than that being doing good so far this week

7/20 2:53AM. Not much happening, forgot to plant Rosetta 78....doing that starting ...now! for sure this time. 7/21 2:35AM Weed is a gateway to Micro-greens....you are all enablers.... 7/22 8:16 AM I’m definitely gonna plant the rest of the seeds today. I’ve decided to do all of them so I’ll probably have to start with diary over Rosetta Stone is like a rocket. She’s going faster than anything. I’ve ever seen faster than the autos. I’m going with her really high-quality autos the best in the world is just phenomenal. I can’t believe Rosetta Stone. The version that I had grown earlier was a combination of Rosetta Stone, Rosetta Stone, and purple Urkel and the carafe lane levels are very high. It has the nicest medicinal fact just perfect. 7/23 or 22. I don’t really know 2:33 AM a new idea for a better Bladerunner based on the Nexus Narcissistic Six ...I’ve seen things you trash bags aren’t good enough to believe so I’m not gonna tell you what they are. 7/25 2:28AM idea Toy Story 420 Andys gonna die soon so he grows pot. Its just sad and soul crushingly depressing enough to make it a family classic.

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)
