💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 16 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A ❤️ Small Plant, Beautiful Flowers, 51.2 Grams of Blueberry Goodness! Hello everyone, my friends! 💚🌱 FINALLY! We're getting into the harvest reports, and today it's time to give our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno A the final chapter she deserves! We've been following this girl for quite some time, and if you've been with us throughout the 8×8 Adventure, you'll know that she has had quite a journey. But before we get into the numbers, a little recommendation: 📸 GO BACK AND CHECK THE PREVIOUS REPORTS! We've documented this girl throughout her entire journey, from the early stages of our 12/12-from-seed experiment to her final days, the move into the smaller tent, the macro photography sessions, and everything in between. There are quite a few photographs and details spread across those updates, and some interesting things happened along the way. Last week's report, in particular, is worth a visit if you want to see the whole story behind her final days and the photography session. And now, let's see what our little survivor gave us! 💙🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — THE LITTLE SURVIVOR For anyone joining us for the first time, here's a little reminder of what this adventure was all about. The 8×8 Adventure was our experiment with different genetics growing together under a 12/12 light schedule from seed. No traditional vegetative period. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared environment. And, as the weeks passed, we got to see just how differently each plant expressed herself. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A was never one of the fastest girls in the room. She remained relatively small and compact, taking her sweet time while some of her neighbours were developing at a completely different pace. But she kept going. Week after week, she developed her flowers, built her structure, and eventually reached her own finishing point. We even gave her and her sister a little extra time in a smaller tent while the rest of the room moved towards harvest. And that's something worth remembering about this experiment: Not every plant follows the same calendar. Not every phenotype produces the same amount. And not every beautiful result needs to be a massive one. 💙 ──────────────────────── ⭐ FINAL RATING — 9 OUT OF 10! 💙 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A | Smoke Report 🌿 ? A Sweet Berry Pie with a Relaxing, Creative Mind! Well, my friends, it's time to take Blueberry Muffin out of the grow room and into the smoking review! And after spending quite some time enjoying this girl, I can confidently say that she's a very pleasant medicine to have around. Let's get into it! 👃 AROMA & FLAVOUR Imagine a freshly baked pie filled with mixed berries. That's probably the best way I can describe her flavour profile! She's incredibly sweet, with a delicious berry character that really stands out. But there's another side to her personality: some strong earthy notes. Those earthy tones are particularly noticeable in the aftertaste, although you can already pick them up when squeezing the dried buds or doing a dry puff before smoking. The interesting part is how well everything comes together. Sweet mixed berries upfront, followed by those deeper earthy notes that give the experience a little more character. For me, this is a very enjoyable combination. Not just sweet for the sake of being sweet! 🧠 EFFECTS & EXPERIENCE This is where Blueberry Muffin really shines! She's a relaxing medicine, but not necessarily the kind that switches your brain off completely. The experience is more like a gentle calming of the mind. She helps me slow down, settle my thoughts and find a more relaxed headspace. And here's something I particularly enjoy: Despite that relaxing character, she can also be quite creative! When I'm editing photos, putting content together, writing or working on creative projects, I find that she can provide a very pleasant headspace. Calm, comfortable, and still capable of keeping the creative wheels turning. She's not particularly stimulating or energetic. It's more of a relaxed, happy and creative experience. Based on my personal experience, I'd describe her as a lovely choice for those moments when you want to unwind without necessarily becoming completely disconnected from whatever you're doing. 😌 PERSONAL EFFECT PROFILE From my experience, the main characteristics are: 💙 Relaxing 💙 Happy 💙 Creative 💙 Calming 💙 More body-relaxing than energising Her effects lean towards the relaxing side, which also matches the profile shown in our strain experience chart. 🌿 A NOTE ON STRESS & WELLBEING Personally, I find her particularly enjoyable when I want to unwind and take some pressure off my mind. Stress, anxiety and low moods are among the reasons people may explore different cannabis profiles, and Blueberry Muffin's relaxing character is certainly worth mentioning from my own experience. Of course, everyone's body and experience are different. These are personal observations, not medical advice or a recommendation to use cannabis to treat any condition. 💧 THE ONLY LITTLE COMPLAINT Dry mouth! Yes, she brings that familiar cotton-mouth feeling along for the ride. 😂 But let's be honest, this is something many cannabis consumers are familiar with. Cannabinoids can interact with receptors involved in salivary gland activity, which can temporarily reduce saliva production. My advice? Keep yourself hydrated and have something to drink nearby. Your mouth will thank you! ⭐ FINAL VERDICT Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A is a lovely combination of sweet flavours and relaxing effects. She's a berry pie with an earthy finish, accompanied by a calm, happy and surprisingly creative headspace. And here's another interesting observation: both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes have delivered very similar flavour profiles and effects in my experience. We'll explore Pheno B separately, but it's already interesting to see how closely these two girls resemble each other. 💙 WOULD I RECOMMEND HER? Based on my experience, absolutely! If you enjoy sweet berry flavours, earthy undertones and a relaxing experience that still leaves room for creativity, Blueberry Muffin deserves a place on your list. She might not have been the biggest producer in our 8×8 Adventure, but when it comes to the experience, she certainly knows how to make an impression. Small plant, beautiful flowers, and a lovely medicine! Thank you, Zamnesia, for allowing us to explore this beautiful genetic. And thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with us! Growers Love, everyone! 💙🌱

I've let our girl blue grow for an extra week and I think our base is looking really strong. It's time for topping to creat the base of our manifold. To do this were going to use he Nebula's Manifold technique by Nubula Haze from GrowWeedEasy.com. I'm in no way affiliated with the site or Mrs. Haze but I have found her website to be a great place to start my cannabis growing journey. I've done so much more research now but it did start for me back in 2020 at GrowWeedEasy.com Anyway I've got some video that will explain the method as I top the plant but basically what we're going to top down to the 3rd node and then clean all the extra growth off. This should leave only two growth tips and their fan leaves. Check out the photos and videos for more details. Feeding and light schedules continue as normal.

Sprayed with Kelp to promote lateral growth.

Wow I love it so crazy and fun at this stage the defoliation was allot more work then I thought jeez..... but there looking beautiful but hope you like now I got to go defoliat the last 2...

Buenas me ha gustado cultivarla, pero no me ha gustado nada que una bolita que estaba muy escondida que no la he visto me ha liado un poco el cultivo y la cosecha final, (hermafroditismo) es algo que les lleva pasando bastantes años a este banco español a pesar de tener temperaturas y riegos y pH muy controlados, sabores como un toque incensado y agridulce al mismo tiempo cuando le das la calada y cuando exhalas el humo se te pegan un tono frutales en la punta de lengua que no sabría describir esos tonos dulces, pero te refrescan mucho la boca, caladas muy suaves y agradables y te da ganas de hacer cosas y creatividad al menos en mi punto.

Hi all buddies! First crop from hydro nft growth. Growth went well, I had some management problems in changing nutrients from veg to bloom which delayed the harvest for a week or two. Sensi Seeds' Skunk # 1F is incredibly resistant to mold and insect attacks, very close internodes ensure low height and compact buds. Unfortunately I chose the mother phenotype wrong, I found the lowest as I wanted but I lost the fatness of the buds present in other phenotypes, but the game was worth the same and I am very proud of it! I collected after 94 days of flowering, the last 72h 20kg ice cubes in the tank and total darkness which the last 24h without irrigation. After cutting I hung the whole plants in the tent for 24 / 48h 19 ° C 55% HR. Two days of wet trim to 8 girls and I hung their colas in the tent to continue drying. With a girl i tried dry trim but i will avoid next time. After a week in the tent I cleaned the colas and removed all the sticks, I placed everything in airtight bags in the refrigerator for 5 days 12 ° C 65% HR (daily check). Now dark storage room at a temperature of 18 ° C 65% HR. At the last weighing a few days ago it was more than 500g, from now it does not lose any more weight. Next week I will take pictures of the weigher and the finished harvest🍀🍀🍀 target!!🍀500g dry/cured🔥 Thank you GD community you are precious for everything, criticism, advice, curiosity, thanks 💚🌱✊🏼 Awesome people here on GD🔥🔥🔥

Day 1 Week 9, The Ladys are in good conditions, blooming very well.

Hope you like the music Ok third week, they had some deficiencies. That's why I switched to mineral. To many plants to focus on, so I do a mixed feeding. Organic growing only with one plant ahaha. No techniques used.

Day 29: Soil moisture seems fine. No need to add water yet. Day 30: Nothing spectacular to report. Soil still sufficiently moist. Day 31: Nothing remarkable to report Day 32: Houston, we have a problem! Added another gallon of water pH 6.5 with nutrients. I was surprised that the soil held moisture for so long. Felt very wrong. I raised the light. With the growth, it was only about 10 inches above the canopy. It is now closer to 20 inches above the plant. What is that leaf tip turning brown? Day 33: Nothing remarkable to report Day 34: No photograph Day 35: Adding 10 TBL of Nectar for the Gods One Shot to soil. Began training. I think this would be considered LST. One tent peg gives support at the bend. One tent pen is holding it bent over.

Today i cut down the males. they have pollinted the whole area, the rest of the is into the refrigerator they had lots of pollenpowder its just everywhere in the roo--- means i have to do a very good cleaning

This week has been fun still no problems with the grow no deficiencies this has been a easy grow like always for me.i need to do a defoliation on the plants today sometime

Just waiting

So langsam zeigen die Pflanzen ihr wunderschöne Pracht. Wir sind nun in Blütewoche 5 angekommen. Die Blütenproduktion ist in vollem Gange. Es riecht nach einem Mix aus Zitrone, Blaubeere, Melone und Multivitamin zugleich. Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt gar nicht was und welche Pflanze ich vom Geruch her am Besten finden soll. VPD: 1,4kpa

Starting 3 week in veg..looks good and I just started some LST..if everything goes well I will put them in flowering in about 2 weeks! Let’s see the progress!! Booommm

Flushing begins for the Og kush and blueberry. All three plants are incredibly sticky, stanky, dense and heavy! The OG Kush plants are blowing my mind, I'm amazed at how much they have fattened up the last week. The super lemon haze starts week 7 and is also sticky and stanky, she's also starting to pack on weight and density.

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20” tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weight👍 She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trim👍 as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildew👍👍👍 She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a difference👍 I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from flower😂 😂 😂 it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!👍👍 Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractions😃……next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the “mix tape”), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary coming👍👍…..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!
