Week went again very uneventful. The plant does what she is supposed to be doing (gaining weight) :). Still lots of new pistils appearing overnight, I am checking the Trichomes daily, however, everything remains milky, with only very little % of amber trichomes. Once amber colours start increasing I will start flushing.

Woche 5 / Vegi Woche 4 Der Grow: ​​​​​Zum Anfang der Woche, wurde die Pflanze zum zweiten mal getoppt. Damit wurden aus den 6 Hauptrieben, 12 neue Haupttriebe. Dass toppen hat die Pflanze wieder gut verkraftet. Die Triebe sind im Verlauf der Woche gut und gleichmäßig gewachsen. Am Ende der Woche war die Pflanze wieder schön kompakt und buschig. Wahrscheinlich werde ich die Pflanze in der nächsten Woche, ein letztes mal toppen. Ob jeder der neuen 12 Hauptriebe getoppt wird, mache ich davon abhängig, wie sie sich weiterhin entwickeln. Leider war ich mir dann zur Wochenmitte zu 100% sicher, dass die Pflanze zu feucht steht. ​Kurze Zeit nachdem gießen, hat die Pflanze, ihre Blätter extrem hängen lassen. Auch haben sich erste Mangelerscheinungen gezeigt. Da Mangelerscheinungen bei der kurzen Zeit und dem Erdvolumen, nicht sein können, plus die Kombination der hängenden Blättern, nachdem gießen, waren dann die eindeutigen Anzeichen, für eine über Wässerung. Die Symptome werden hierbei, durch den fehlenden Sauerstoff an den Wurzeln, ausgelöst. Ich habe daraufhin, die Bewässerung komplett eingestellt. Aktuell bekommt die Pflanze seit 5 Tagen kein Wasser mehr, damit die Erde abtrocknen kann. Meine neue Strategie, für die Sonnenerde, schaut jetzt wie folgt aus. Ich lasse die Erde jetzt auf 30% abtrocknen, danach gebe ich einmalig, wieder soviel Wasser, dass die Feuchtigkeit auf 40% steigt, um sie dann wieder auf 30% absinken zulassen. Zwischen diesen Bewässerungen, gibt es 1-2 mal, nur ca. 200ml Wasser, damit die Erde gleichmäßig feucht bleibt. Dies sollte für eine gute Sauerstoff Versorgung der Wurzeln sorgen und das Boden Leben fördern. Damit die Pflanze etwas wenig gestresst ist, durch die über Wässerung, habe ich die LED erst einmal wieder auf Stufe 2 gedimmt und den VPD auf 1,2kpa gesenkt. Beides wird wieder schrittweise erhöht, wen die Feuchtigkeit in der Erde, auf mindestens 40% gefallen ist. Der Trauermückenbefall, dürfte auch erledigt sein. Die Nematoden haben ganze Arbeit geleistet. Auf den Gelbtafeln sind keine neuen mehr dazu gekommen und im Zelt sehe ich auch nichts mehr. Sobald die Pflanze aber wieder Wasser bekommt, werde ich sicherheitshalber, noch einmal mit Nematoden gießen. Die Parameter in Woche 5: Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 28 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 22 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 64% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 60% Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 50% LED Leistung: 20% = 90 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden DLI: 20 Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI VPD 1,2 Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI VPD 1,0 Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,4 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,1 Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

This is a must grow again . I immediately started 2 more in her place and I am glad I have 3 more that just went into flower

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 7 (Flower Week 4) 🌱 The Room Is Coming Alive One of the biggest goals of this 8×8 Adventure has never been growing a single impressive plant. It's about building an entire ecosystem where every phenotype has the opportunity to express its own genetics while sharing the same environment, the same nutrition, and the same cultivation philosophy. Week after week, that vision becomes easier to see. Frosted Guava Pheno A continues doing exactly what she has done since the beginning—growing with balance, consistency, and confidence. While some plants steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she continues proving that steady development is often the foundation for exceptional harvests. Now entering her fourth week of flowering, she's no longer simply producing flowers. She's beginning to build real buds. And at the same time... The entire room is beginning to transform into a living sea of green. 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Everything Is Coming Together Standing at approximately 115 cm tall, Frosted Guava has stretched exactly as I hoped she would. Her vertical growth has started slowing naturally, allowing almost all of her energy to shift into flower production. Every branch now carries developing bud sites, and the individual flowers that appeared only a week ago are already beginning to stack together. The structure she built during vegetative growth is now paying dividends. Light reaches nearly every top, airflow remains excellent throughout the canopy, and each branch has enough room to develop without competing with its neighbours. She's becoming one of those plants that's simply enjoyable to watch every single day. 🍃 The Room Has Its Own Personality This week's report isn't only about one plant. It's also about the room itself. Walking into the tent now feels completely different compared to only a few weeks ago. The empty spaces that once separated individual plants are slowly disappearing as every canopy begins growing together into one continuous layer of green. The room feels alive. Every plant is stretching toward the light while simultaneously filling the space around her. Each phenotype still shows its own personality, but together they're becoming one complete ecosystem. That also means something else is approaching. Not because every individual plant necessarily needs it... But because the room does. Within the next week or so I'll likely perform the first significant defoliation of flowering. This isn't about removing leaves simply because I can. It's about maintaining airflow, allowing deeper light penetration, reducing excessive humidity pockets, and making sure every plant continues receiving the environment she deserves as the canopy becomes increasingly dense. Sometimes we don't prune for the plants. We prune for the room. 💡 Lighting Above... And Below The lighting system has also evolved alongside the plants. Above the canopy, the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering approximately 1,000 PPFD across the tops of the flowering plants. For anyone new to growing, PPFD simply measures how many usable light particles reach the plant every second. In other words, it's one of the best ways to understand how much energy the plants receive for photosynthesis. Around 1,000 PPFD provides an excellent level of intensity for flowering under these conditions. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another layer to the system. Rather than replacing the main light, these bars help illuminate lower flowering sites that would normally receive much less intensity once the canopy becomes dense. It's still early to judge the final results, but I'm genuinely excited to see how much they improve lower bud development as flowering progresses. Like everything else in this diary... The harvest will tell the real story. 🌬️ Airflow – Creating A Living Environment One aspect that's often overlooked is air movement. Good airflow isn't simply about pointing a fan at the plants. Inside this room, multiple oscillating fans create moving crosswinds that constantly change direction, preventing stagnant pockets of humid air from developing between the branches. At the same time, cooler air naturally enters from the lower section of the room while the extraction system continuously removes the warmer air accumulating near the ceiling. This constant vertical air exchange creates an environment where fresh CO₂ is continually introduced, humidity remains balanced, temperatures stay remarkably stable, and every leaf continues transpiring efficiently. Healthy airflow is one of the quiet heroes behind every successful flowering room. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue remaining beautifully consistent: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm This gives the room a VPD that's right where I want it for this stage of flowering. For growers unfamiliar with the term, VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit) describes the relationship between temperature and humidity, helping determine how efficiently plants transpire and move water and nutrients through their tissues. Rather than chasing individual numbers, I prefer building an environment where temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, and lighting all work together as one complete system. Another question I often receive concerns CO₂. The reading of roughly 639 ppm isn't coming from bottled supplementation. It's simply the natural level inside my home, helped by continuously exchanging fresh household air through the grow room. During the evenings, with the family inside and normal household activity taking place, those natural CO₂ levels remain more than adequate for this style of cultivation. Sometimes simple really does work. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains unchanged this week, allowing the plants to continue flowering without unnecessary adjustments. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Power Buds • Green Sensation Maintaining consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing new recipes. The plants certainly seem to agree. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect flower production to accelerate noticeably. The stretch should finish completely, bud sites will begin joining together, resin production should become increasingly visible, and Frosted Guava will start investing nearly all of her energy into building flower density rather than producing new height. The canopy itself will likely become full enough to justify the first flowering defoliation, improving airflow and ensuring every flowering site continues receiving excellent light throughout the room. It's one of my favourite moments of the grow. Everything starts feeling like a real flowering garden. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava continues reminding me that consistency often beats drama. She hasn't demanded constant attention or complicated corrections. Instead, she's simply responded to stable conditions, balanced nutrition, quality genetics, and a healthy environment by doing exactly what nature designed her to do. Watching this room slowly evolve into a complete flowering ecosystem has been just as rewarding as watching any individual plant grow. Every week the pieces fit together a little more. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding a new dimension with their under-canopy lighting system, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, Mammoth Tents for providing the perfect home, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, Prima Klima for outstanding ventilation, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, comments, and shared passion for growing continue making this 8×8 Adventure an absolute pleasure to document. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Wuw. This is a magic from my hands .

Woche 7 Sie ist gut in die Breite gegangen, so kann die anstehende Blüte beginnen und sie bekommt ausreichend Licht und Luft zwischen die Zweige. Zum Ende der Woche muss mal wieder etwas Blattwerk fallen.

I came back after vacation, the girl is ready for cutting, the rainy weather has started, so there is a threat of rot, you can say I managed to find just a few small pits in time and removed them and threw them away, the big and stiff flowers look fantastic:) but after a long trip I was tired, so I didn't take quality photos :( no everything else, I am very satisfied with the result I got:) its smell already lets me know that it will be good:) a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) I will update the weight when it dries.

All of the branches have been tied down for LST she is reacting super well so far. The smell on it is definitely becoming apparent. Love how they are reacting ti the nutrients from green leaf as well very responsive. Everytime i prune leaves of more just grow immediately pretty amazing. Cant wait to smoke this plant :)

Started LST on 3/6 of the plants. Having no issues at all so far👌 Gave her some nutes twice so far at a very low dose. Currently feeding once a week. Soil holds enough nutes as is already. Low dose Cal-Mag in every watering - missed week 2 so I just started week 3

Day 56 Jungle Jimmy / Day 57 Pink Cookies: Nothing to do today. Day 57 Jungle Jimmy / Day 58 Pink Cookies: Nothing to do today. Day 58 Jungle Jimmy 63 cm / Day 59 Pink Cookies 90 cm: Nothing to do today. The outside temperature are getting high right now, so the temperature in the tent increases as well. I hope I can manage to keep the temperature about 30° C. We are at day 19 after switching to 12/12. The bud development is quite impressive at this time. Day 59 Jungle Jimmy 66 cm / Day 60 Pink Cookies 93 cm: Nothing to do today. Day 60 Jungle Jimmy 68 cm / Day 61 Pink Cookies 96 cm: Nothing to do today. Day 61 Jungle Jimmy 68 cm / Day 62 Pink Cookies 98 cm: Nothing to do today. -------------------------------------------------------------- 🙏 Thanks for visiting and follow for daily updates 🌱

Harvested 68g

High hopes for next week, just bought Biobizz Trypack Indoor and BioBizz ActiVera.

What can I say about this plant, it spent most of the day in the shade, if it had the same conditions as dos si dos, it would eat it for breakfast in terms of yield... 450 g of dry matter and some popcorn... I am very satisfied with but the plant didn't get nearly as much sun as it needs...it didn't fill up, but it wasn't empty either, the heads are nice and fleshy...when I picked it, it smelled like lemon or KeyLime as Barney says...but no on citrus, but really lemon combined with some heavy stench, I can't wait for this miracle to work for some time in the jar... Next year we will see it in its full glory, so let's try to get a one kilo and a half dry from it alone, that's a bit of a challenge for me...but with this kind of genetics and this kind of variety, I don't think it will be a problem in 100-150 liters of soil for this kind of monster... this year my plants were in 40 to 50 liters of soil and almost each of them produced from 450 to almost a kilogram of dry grass

All in all not bad I have had some problems with my room being really cold which has obviously effected the temp but buds seem to still be growing not sure how long left or when to flush but we’ll wait and see !! Added bambo sticks in cause some buds were leaning wayy too much As you can see some close up of the buds as well was pretty unsure on two because it looked like there was Little balls On the bud also noticed a lot more yellowing off leafs Happy growing

A very healthy week 2

Day 122- first signs of the some pistols ambering! Super excited I know to be patient! About 3-4 weeks out I think! Putting my favorite photos and more on my Instagram! Follow me 📷 @cookie.thefarmer
