🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 ❄️ Dark, Frosty & Moving Fast Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this girl... She's shining. 💚 Every phenotype has something that makes it recognizable. Something that, after enough weeks of watching them develop, becomes part of their identity. With Frosted Guava Pheno B, I think I've finally found hers. That green. That incredibly deep, rich, dark green. It's one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to become the biggest. But she has developed into a beautiful, compact, extremely healthy-looking flowering plant with an appearance that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. And right now? She's moving. She's developing quickly. The flowers are progressing. The resin is becoming more obvious. And the whole plant looks like she's very happy with the direction she's taking. So this week... the spotlight belongs to her. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. Different genetics and phenotypes. One growing environment. One general philosophy. And an awful lot of personality. The project is being run under a 12/12 light schedule from seed, allowing each plant to reveal its natural architecture without giving them an extended traditional vegetative period. And this is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. Because even when plants share the same genetic line, they don't necessarily tell the same story. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build enormous central flowers. Some distribute their flowers differently. Some become monsters. Some become elegant. And some... become very, very dark green Frosted Guavas. 😂💚 🌿 Look at That Green Let's start with the obvious. Look at her foliage. That colour is beautiful. Deep. Dark. Rich. Healthy-looking. The leaves have become one of the defining visual characteristics of this phenotype. And when you put that dark foliage next to the developing flowers, the contrast is fantastic. The white pistils stand out. The developing resin catches the light. The flowers appear almost brighter because they're surrounded by that deep green background. It's a beautiful combination. And I honestly really like this plant. There are plants you admire because they're enormous. There are plants you admire because they're unusual. And then there are plants where you simply look at them and think: "Damn... that's a beautiful plant." Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of those for me. 🌸 The Flowers Are Moving Fast The biggest difference I'm noticing this week is the speed of development. She's moving. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined, with more structure appearing throughout the developing buds. The calyxes are becoming more obvious. The pistils are still beautifully prominent. And the resin continues making its presence known. Looking through the photographs, you can see how much is happening across the plant. She's not sitting still. She's building. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. There is still plenty of development ahead, but the direction is becoming increasingly clear. She's a flower builder. And she's getting on with the job. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Starting to Look Frosted The name continues making more sense every week. The flowers are carrying increasingly visible resin, particularly around the developing calyxes and sugar leaves. And when you get close with the camera... that's when this plant really becomes interesting. The individual flowers have so much detail. White pistils crossing over one another. Calyxes stacking and expanding. Tiny sugar leaves surrounding the developing structures. And that little sparkle beginning to appear everywhere. This is exactly why I love photographing these plants. From a distance, they're simply beautiful flowering plants. Up close... they become another world. 👀 A Little Foxtailing? I can see a little bit of foxtailing beginning to appear in some of the flowers. And honestly? I'm not losing sleep over it. 😂 It's there. I'm seeing it. I'm documenting it. But I'm also looking at the entire plant. And the entire plant looks fantastic. The flowers are developing. The foliage is beautiful. The structure is healthy-looking. The plant is progressing quickly. So I'm not going to turn one characteristic into the entire story of the plant. This is phenotype observation. Sometimes a plant shows you a particular expression. You document it. You watch how it develops. And you let the plant finish telling you what that expression means. For now... I'm simply curious. Let's see where she takes it. ✂️ After Last Week's Cleanup Last week we gave her a selective cleanup. We removed foliage that had become unnecessary, opened some areas of the canopy and cleaned some of the lower growth. And importantly, we didn't try to strip everything. There was no reason to. Healthy leaves remained. The productive structure remained. And now we're watching how she responds. This week, I'm not looking to chase her with the scissors again. She's doing exactly what I want her to do: grow. The cleanup has been done. The room has been cleaned. The canopy has been organized. Now we let the plant work. Sometimes the best intervention after making a change... is to stop intervening and observe the result. 🌿 Small Plant. Absolutely Not a Small Plant. One thing that continues to amuse me about this phenotype is the difference between her physical size and her personality. At approximately 108 cm, she's considerably more compact than some of the other girls in the room. But she doesn't feel small. She has presence. She has flowers. She has structure. And she's becoming increasingly impressive every week. That's another lesson the 8×8 keeps teaching me. Height doesn't tell you everything. A shorter plant can still have an enormous personality. A compact plant can still produce an impressive flowering structure. And a plant doesn't need to reach the ceiling to deserve the spotlight. Frosted Guava Pheno B certainly doesn't. ☀️ Eating Photons The lighting environment continues to provide plenty of energy for this stage. The Future of Grow Black Series LED remains the main overhead light source, with Lumiflora contributing additional illumination into the lower canopy. And this girl is clearly making use of what she's receiving. Light goes in. The plant does its biological magic. And week after week... we see the result. More structure. More flowers. More resin. More development. This is one of the reasons I love having different phenotypes in the same room. You can give them essentially the same environment... and then watch how differently they use it. Frosted Guava Pheno B has found her own rhythm. And I really like her rhythm. 💧 Feeding & Environment The feeding program remains consistent with the flowering strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current recorded parameters: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 108 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 72% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ Recorded EC/TDS: ~2.0 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h At this point in the cycle, stability remains the priority. The plant is moving well. The flowers are developing. The foliage remains remarkably dark and vigorous. So there is no reason to start changing things simply for the sake of changing them. 🌬️ Keeping an Eye on the Canopy With flowering progressing and the canopy continuing to develop, airflow and environmental consistency remain important. This is another reason I liked the cleanup we performed last week. Not because fewer leaves automatically means a better plant. It doesn't. But because thoughtful canopy management can help keep the structure organized as the flowers continue developing. And now that she's cleaned up? I'm happy to leave her alone. Let the remaining leaves work. Let the flowers develop. Let the plant show us what she wants to become. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's gallery really captures her personality. The full-plant photographs show the structure. The closer photographs show the flowers. And the macro-style views reveal the details that make this phenotype special. The deep green foliage. The white pistils. The developing calyxes. The increasing resin. And those little signs of foxtailing appearing here and there. Everything together creates a plant that looks very much like herself now. And that's something I love about reaching this stage of a grow. Earlier in the cycle, you're asking: "What is this plant going to be?" Eventually you stop asking. You start saying: "Ah... this is who she is." And I think we're getting there with Frosted Guava Pheno B. 🔬 Phenotype Spotlight — The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe her in a few words right now: Compact. Dark green. Frosty. Fast. Beautiful. That's her. Her sister has her own personality. The other Frosted Guava phenotypes have their own expressions. But this girl? She's becoming very easy to recognize. And that's the beauty of phenotype hunting. You're not necessarily looking for one "perfect" plant. You're looking for differences. You're looking for expressions. You're looking for those little characteristics that make one plant stand out from another. And sometimes... you find a phenotype whose biggest characteristic is simply that you really, really enjoy looking at her. That's Frosted Guava B for me. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now I'm very curious. Because she's moving quickly. The flowers are developing beautifully. The resin is increasing. The structure is becoming more defined. And that little bit of foxtailing gives us another characteristic to watch. Will it continue? Will it settle? Will the flowers simply keep stacking and swelling around it? We'll see. I'm not going to write the ending yet. That's the plant's job. For now, I'm just going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And keep letting this beautiful girl show us what she has. 💚 Final Thoughts — She Deserves the Spotlight Frosted Guava Pheno B started this adventure as the smaller, quieter sister. And look at her now. She's still compact. She's still different. But quiet? Not anymore. She's shining. That deep, deep green foliage is absolutely beautiful. The flowers are moving quickly. The calyxes are developing. The white pistils are everywhere. The frost is increasing. And the whole plant has developed an identity of its own. Yes, I can see a little foxtailing. And no... I don't mind. 😂 Because overall? She's outstanding. She's healthy-looking. She's balanced. She's beautiful. And she's giving me exactly what I love most about this project: something interesting to watch. Every week she gives me another little detail. Another change. Another reason to stop and look. And that's what the 8×8 Adventure is all about. Not just growing plants. Watching plants become themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing exactly that. And I have to admit... I really like who she's becoming. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this dark green beauty shine. 💚❄️🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension to this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every grower following along. It all makes this project more enjoyable. Frosted Guava Pheno B may not be the biggest girl in the room... But she's certainly becoming one of the girls I enjoy watching the most. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. A little frost. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. Let's see where she goes from here. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚❄️

Feeding full strength at lights on and off with about 20% run off. Defoliated a few fan leaves as the stems purple. They are filling in well now with almost every leaf/bud covered in trichomes.

Una settima dal travaso nei vasi da 6 arrivate all’altezza di 25cm pronte per la fioritura passaggio a 12/12

Day 37 - Everything looks good.... they are drinking so much.... i built a bit more stable light setup, and i'll need to buy afew more plugs and stuff, to fill it out ...... i organised all the 2700k globes, ready to swap in..... still waiting on the exhaust fan, so i'll keep em in "grow" mode another week or 2 .... i'm vaping a leaf or 2, and drinking "green tea hot chocolates" .... it is so delicious in hot chocolate .... my health has picked up since starting the vape/drinks... the 21 thc/19 cbd is supa healthy ... Day 38 - Getting them ready for Flower, noticed they are lacking in nutrients, so i started em on the heavier dutch master gold flower nutrients. Day 40 - Added some pics. (they look droopy because they in night mode, just turned on lights for pic) - Started them on 12/12 flower, still working on getting all the lights, gear, and globes, for the right spectrum and amount of light.... atm got - 7x 2700k (click) , 2x 6400k (osram), + 60w light panel .... i'll go get some more gear today and hope to expand it to 10x 2700k , 2x 6400k ...... I put the exhaust filter fan on seperate power, so it doesn't go on/off with the timer, but stays on all the time.... it totally fixed up any odour problems, haha ....... Added some different pics for my light spectrum ... etc..... the outside winter temp is now at 40-60oF (5-15oC) so with the 12/12h, the temp inside the tent is dropping to 60-80oF (18-22oC), abit low, but flowering is supposed to be in winter, so idk, see how it goes..... I'm new to growing, so idk how this will work out....... just working it as i go.... i noticed afew spots on a leaf, so i upped the neuts abit more, they are still drinking like fish, huge amounts.... Day 40 late - new vids - Got the extra gear and installed it all... redesigned the initial setup, refined it with proper measurements, had to get my steel rule out, lol....... got the 12 leds in and running, 10x 2700k clicks, and 2x 6400k osrams, with the panel..... it's lookin beautiful and got the exhaust on 24 hrs now, all working perfect with 12/12 timer.... they are forming a few spots on leaves, so hammering the nute water into them now... they are drinkin 1-2 litre of nute water a day each.... (nute water = Dutch mater gold one grow/flower, 800-1000 ppm 6 PH) 😎 Some details about lights.... i did some maths on it, and included some handy pics..... because i'm using cheap leds, i'm keeping the distance at 25cm, they are leds so they won't burn, and it massively increases the lumens/lux/Par, and with my home built light setup, the leds are spread out enough to keep it lower.... worked out good..... something of note is that all the led globes are built/made in china... however different marketing/selling companies from around the world... and the german osrams are 1w leds ... by far the most superior, but anyone can design and send the requirements to china to build em, haha) it's not a contest, we all work together.... haha.... the person with the best led light globes gets my business, because i want the best for my babies.... :) (let me explain- 1w led vs 0.5 w led, the watt of the led projects the light, lumens, LX/PAR etc much further the higher the watt of the led....my 600w panel has 0.5w leds, the philips has 0.75, the osrams have 1w leds..... ) each globe philips (dutch)- 10.5w internal - 14 leds 0.75w 1055 lumens each globe osram (german)- 10.5w internal - 10 leds 1w 1080 lumens each globe click (cheap)- 9w internal - 16 leds 0.56w 800 lumens light panel - 70w - 600w 30 red - 8 red 12 blue - 8 white 7500k 1 ir - 1 uv = 20x blue 6400k - 38x red 2700k internal - 60 double leds - 120x0.5w 6000 lm

I cut the plant after 48 hours of total darkness. To flush the best, I ran a few dozen liters of water through the jar until the one that came out below was transparent. Although the flowers failed to close, I am satisfied with the result and the smell of the buds inspires a good terpene. To dry well, I moved the grow box to the room with an air conditioner. I'm keeping the temperature around 26-27 degrees and the humidity around 50%.

Some of the buds/ leafs were starting to turn brown. It seems like it was a bit past it's prime, I harvested on day 60 of flower. The strain was 56-63 days Jack Herer by pHenos Nursery. The trichoms looked ready, I did have some issues that I've noted in previous weeks but it smells amazing and I can't wait for it to finish drying and curing!

A lot of growth this week, decided to up the ppm a little with more rhino skin, plants looking pretty healthy, no signs of pest, nutrient burn, or disease. I do have a little wrinkles on the leaves but I’m not sure what causes that. Fan was blowing on it a bit so it grew slanted but sturdy, and I noticed the second set of leaves was pretty close to the first, don’t know whether I should pull the light a little further back. Noticed 2 bags around the tent, so I put cinnamon over the top of the soil and ordered fly traps.

Plant is growing well. Has weird black dots I think related to PH. I think the switch from whatever they had her on to living soil is just shocking her with the change in PH. I expect a recovery within the next week or so. I noticed an absolute ton of mites in the soil. They had to of come with the clone, does anyone know if these are beneficial? Been 12 days cooking the 3.0 top dress so I threw on two pounds of worms castings and transplanted. I also planted a ton of white Dutch clover seeds around the plant. Happy growing and god bless guys!

Week 8, last week of feeding. Plants look good, smell is nice, super sticky! Round 2 with this strain has been better, compare to round 1, but I still find this strain very nutrient hungry.

• Nute strategy: • EC held around 1.3 mS/cm after the burn event. • KoolBloom Dry continued at moderate doses. • Ripen came in with Micro/Bloom adjusted to support fade and ripening rather than raw growth

Mar 7 (day 78): Start of week 12. Mar 11 (day 82): Chopped plant.

Ms Grapes an Cream from Atlas seeds is comming in amazing on week 4 of veg she is still the biggest she's growing great after being topped thinking about topping her again have had no problems with her she's growing more every day under the medic grow fold 6 Ending week 4 this girl continues to amaze me with how vigorous she's been growing she's been topped a couple times now an really thinking about giving her another one she's been growing so great with these nutrients from cultured biologix

Plant is showing tremendous growth even after the stem partially breaking from the LST clip, But plant hasn’t yellowed or wilted and continues to grow so it’s still pulling nutrients fine.

So we got some very bushy plants. I topped them three times and trained them sideways and the plant focused it's energy on growing out sideways.

2/2 12am Hotel is looking great, got a great feeling about this. 2/3 1:31M BILLY MAY'S VERSION OF STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT....THE GREATEST SONG FOR STONER EARS...SO MOVING. 2/3 12:01 PM I have all three of the trailer Park boys going in one tent. I cut Ricky down way way down and I’ll cut bubbles back a little bit. I want them all to flower at the same time and the Ricky plant has been growing since September so I can cut quite a bit off. She’ll be just fine. It’s kind of funny looking so they’re kind of trailer trash looking. It’s all perfect what I lack in ability. I’m making up for in showmanship so if I screw up, it’s on purpose. It’s part of the show you wouldn’t understand.🎥 2/6 12:22AM CBG'S ARE ALL FAILS...BAD SEEDS? NOT ONE TURNED OUT GOOD. SO CBG SEEDS ARE ALL GARBAGE AND IN THE FUCKING TRASH NOW. AND I GOT LOTS OF DEVISTATING FINANCIAL NEWS SO I WILL BE SUICIDING OUT THIS MOTH SO FUCK YOU YOU THOSE WHO CAUSED THIS

Hello, growers! 3) I changed the solution at the middle of the week 4) Decided to FIM this grow and see, where it goes. And it was very hard to do it,since new level didn't formed yet, but i didn't want to wait longer 7)By the end of week leaves showed nutrient, will fix. I suggest P

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12... I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plant remains in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... She looks really bushy good genetics and strech is on the way..... 😅 Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;) ;)

Cut down last night. Must admit im pretty chuffed with how well this plant has grown. My set up being as small as it is ( L x W x H, 70 x 40 x 60cm) attempting to grow quality, quantity is not my priority, but i feel my efforts have been rewarded with both. Awesome strain, sativa highs with an indica growth pattern? How good. Will post the dry weight after 3 weeks. Fuck yeah 🤙
