This first week was pretty rough. I originally started with one seed and one clone. The seed never sprouted because I think that I over watered it. So I went and got another clone so that they will be a little more close in age when itโ€™s time to harvest.. day 1 I over watered and then as soon as it dried up 3 days later I over watered again. The leaves started to yellow and flop down . I spoke to someone at the grow shop and they told me that Iโ€™m using too much light and that I watered way too much. So I turned off one of the 2 150 watt lights and I drained all of the run off in the collection tray. Now Iโ€™m not watering until completely dry . Iโ€™ve seen a little bit of growth itโ€™s been 3 days for the apples and bananas and that one looks good so far. Also Today I noticed white forming on the dirt around the sides of the flower pot? Is this mold? And if so how can I safely get rid of it? . After draining excess water and turning off one of the lights 2 days later The doc og is already starting to look better the leaves are turning up and I think Iโ€™m starting to see a little growth

Plants are growing really fast just giving water when soil dry. Decided to top the big bud auto seems to be growing really fast. Was only going to lst because this is my first indoor grow and donโ€™t want to fuck it up hahah. Not much else going on this week. One of the northern lights is tiny but I have faith in it

01 December 2020 Do-Si-Wine This lady is just getting frostier by the week and looks really beautiful, very white frosty thcA and orange hairs coming out. The nugs are getting a lot thicker as-well giving more of smell off which smells very nice btw. Did some more defoliation on this lady and light penetration is a lot more efficient as well Sunset Sherbet Week by week the nugs are just getting thicker and more frosty. Throughout the week I did some nice defoliation on this lady to expose light to the lower bud sites to ensure that the nugs will yield a bit better. Thickest mug so far is 4cm in width and is 6,5cm in height and smells absolutely dank๐Ÿ”ฅ In general this lady is doing very well and smells very potent to the touch, Iโ€™m just waiting to see this strain turn purple as the genetic is. Another 4 - 5 weeks left until harvest.

Week 10 โ€“ Day 71 Flower Day 43 โš ๏ธ Mimosa Evo โ€“ Hermie Alert! Unfortunately, some bad news last week: I found a few bananas (nanners) on one of Mimosa Evoโ€™s main colas โ€“ a couple were already open ๐Ÿ˜ฌ ๐Ÿ” I immediately removed the affected buds and checked the entire plant thoroughly. So far, only that one cola was affected โ€“ nothing new has popped up yet โœ… If you spot anything suspicious in the pictures: feel free to shout! ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Cause remains unclear โ€“ could be light stress, or maybe just genetics. Still around 2 weeks to go, so Iโ€™m keeping a close eye and hoping for the best. ๐ŸŒฟ Current status โ€“ Mimosa Evo She still looks stable and healthy overall ๐ŸŒฑ โœ… No new nanners found since the cleanup ๐ŸŒผ Buds are developing, but noticeably less swollen compared to White Widow I suspect the hermie stress might have diverted energy away from flower production or impacted development.

๐ŸŒฟ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B The Small-Pot Experiment That Keeps Proving Me Wrong ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... Guess what? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ MY INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA IS STILL STUPID. Yes. The small-pot experiment. The brilliant idea that somehow went through my head: "Let's put her in a smaller pot. Maybe she'll stay smaller." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Well... NO. Apparently not. This girl looked at my 11-litre pot and basically said: "That's cute." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And then she continued growing. And growing. And growing. And growing. Until here we are... Week 13... and I'm still doing significantly more work with this girl than with most of the room. Not because she's difficult. Not because she's unhealthy. Not because something is wrong. Quite the opposite. She's thriving. She's cruising. She's growing beautifully. She's shining. She's bulking. She's developing. She's doing absolutely fucking fantastic. The problem? She's demanding. VERY demanding. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚ She wants water. Then she wants more water. Then she apparently looks at me and says: "Are we done?" "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "More." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So here I am... trying to keep up with this little-pot monster while the rest of the room is basically cruising along. And honestly? I don't mind the work. I LOVE the work. But this? This is unnecessary work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because apparently putting a big-growing plant into a small pot does not make the plant small. It simply makes the grower work harder. Lesson learned. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“š So let's give this beautiful, demanding, absolutely ridiculous girl the spotlight. Because she deserves it. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE SMALL POT THAT REFUSES TO MAKE HER SMALL At this point, I think we've officially proven the theory. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Small pot does not automatically equal small plant. At least not with this girl. She's still growing. She's still getting bigger. She's still developing. She's still building. And somehow... she continues to look like she would happily occupy a 25-litre pot. Or maybe even the ground. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Honestly? I have no idea where she would stop. Maybe she'd just keep going. Maybe she'd eventually ask me for a greenhouse. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Because the 11-litre pot clearly isn't convincing her that she should be small. She's simply using what space she has and making the absolute most of it. And now I'm paying the price for my experiment every time I have to keep up with her water demand. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ But looking at her? I can't even be annoyed. She's beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ THE THIRSTY LITTLE MONSTER Let's talk about the real story of this week. Water. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜‚ This girl is demanding. Demanding. Demanding. And then... demanding some more. The rest of the room? Cruising. This girl? Also cruising. But apparently she's cruising with the accelerator pressed down. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's using what she's given. She's continuing to grow. She's continuing to build. She's continuing to develop. And because she's doing so much from such a relatively small container, I'm constantly having to keep an eye on her and keep up with what she's asking for. It's almost like she's looking at that 11-litre pot and thinking: "You gave me limited space. Fine. I'll just drink more." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Honestly... I respect the attitude. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE 11-LITRE POT REGRET CONTINUES Let's revisit my decision. Because apparently I haven't suffered enough yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The idea was simple: Small pot. Smaller plant. Less work. Right? WRONG. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The reality: Small pot. Big plant. More frequent attention. More water demand. More support. More work. More standing in front of her asking: "Why the hell are you still getting bigger?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ So if anyone is keeping notes from this adventure... please write this down: **DogDoctor's Small Pot Theory** โŒ Small pot = small plant Apparently not. Instead: โŒ Small pot = less work Also apparently not. What I actually got was: ๐ŸŒฑ Big plant ๐Ÿ’ฆ Big thirst ๐ŸŒธ Big flowers ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big personality ๐Ÿ˜‚ Big workload And honestly? It's fucking hilarious. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S GROWING LIKE SHE'S IN NATIVE SOIL This is the part that really gets me. Look at her. Seriously. Look at her. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If I didn't know she was sitting in an 11-litre pot, I wouldn't necessarily guess that from looking at the plant. She keeps growing as if she's been given a much larger root zone. Sometimes I look at her and think: "What if I had put you in 25 litres?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then another thought: "What if I had just put you in the ground?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I genuinely don't know what would have happened. Maybe she'd still be asking for more water. Maybe I'd be standing outside with a hosepipe thinking: "Okay girl, that's enough now." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ฆ But that's the fascinating part. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to do. And apparently... what she wants to do is GROW. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE PLANT IS IN CHARGE At this point, I have officially accepted my role. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not the boss. I'm the provider. I'm the hands. I'm the guy standing there making sure she gets what she needs when she asks for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's basically the boss of the operation. And I'm just here like: "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ‘‘ "More water?" "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ’ฆ "More support?" "Yes, Your Majesty." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "More space?" "Sorry, Your Majesty. That's where we fucked up." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The plant doesn't care about my original plan. She doesn't care about my small-pot theory. She doesn't care that the rest of the room is cruising. She's doing what she wants. And my job is simply to support that. And honestly? That's one of the beautiful things about growing. You can make the plan. But the plant gets the final vote. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ STILL BUILDING โ€“ STILL SHINING And despite all the jokes... she really is beautiful. She's still growing. She's still developing her flowers. She's still building. She's still showing that dense, substantial structure we've been following. And she's becoming more impressive week after week. She's not simply sitting there waiting for the end. She's still actively doing her thing. And that's why I'm not worried about the few leaves beginning to yellow. There are some minor yellowing leaves appearing. And yes... we're getting closer to the later stages. But I'm looking at the whole plant. I'm looking at the flowers. I'm looking at her development. I'm looking at her overall appearance. And I'm not seeing something that makes me panic. She's moving toward where she needs to go. Naturally. Gradually. In her own way. And that's perfectly fine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿƒ A FEW YELLOWING LEAVES โ€“ AND I'M NOT PANICKING This deserves a little mention because I know somebody will notice it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes. There are a few leaves starting to yellow. And honestly? I'm not worried. We're getting further into the flowering cycle. The plant is changing. Some foliage is beginning to show signs of aging. And that's part of the journey. I'm watching it. I'm not ignoring it. But I'm also not inventing a crisis where there isn't one. The plant overall looks beautiful. She's developing. She's building. She's getting closer to the later stages. So I'm simply observing. No panic. No unnecessary intervention. No dramatic: "OH MY GOD, A YELLOW LEAF!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ One yellowing leaf doesn't get to cancel the entire beautiful plant. We're watching the whole picture. And the whole picture looks damn good. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ DENSE, COMPACT AND STILL GETTING BIGGER One of the things I really love about this girl is that she's not simply growing tall for the sake of being tall. She's becoming substantial. The flowers are dense. The structures are compact. The plant is filling itself out. And she's doing it while continuing to increase in size. It's almost like she's found the cheat code: "Why choose between size and density?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ I'll just have both. And that's exactly what we're seeing. A plant that's substantial in overall structure... with dense, compact flowering sites... and enough growth to keep the grower permanently occupied. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ She's definitely one of those plants where the photographs don't always tell the whole story until you step back and look at the entire structure. Then you realize: "Oh..." She's actually fucking big. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA STILL LOVES HER And honestly, I love photographing this girl. Because every week there's something new to see. The overall plant. The main structures. The side branches. The flowers. The leaves. The details. The architecture. And now... the yellowing leaves beginning to appear here and there as she moves toward the later stages. All of those little details become part of the story. That's why I love keeping these weekly diaries. We're not simply trying to produce a final photograph of a finished plant. We're documenting the journey. And this girl's journey has been hilarious. ๐Ÿ˜‚ From: "Let's put her in a small pot." To: "Why the fuck is she still getting bigger?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And now: "Please, girl... just finish when you're ready because I'm getting tired of watering you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ HER OWN RESPONSE And once again... she's sharing the exact same room as everybody else. Same 8ร—8. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. Same overall care. And yet... look at her. This is another beautiful example of why the 8ร—8 Adventure is so interesting. The environment provides the common stage. The genetics decide what happens on that stage. The same photons hit the canopy. Different plants respond differently. Different structures. Different speeds. Different flower formation. Different water demand. Different personalities. And this girl? She's basically saying: "Give me the photons. I'll take care of the rest." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE FUTURE OF GROW LIGHTING UPGRADE The expanded lighting setup remains part of the room. Two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still giving us additional lighting capability. We're not simply running everything at maximum output. We're controlling the setup around: ๐Ÿ”Œ ~59% power from the plug With approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying according to canopy position and height. And this girl is certainly making use of it. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. She's shining. And she's giving us another example of how different genetics can respond to the same lighting environment. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different stories. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ I'M NOT FIGHTING HER ANYMORE I've officially surrendered. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She wins. The small-pot experiment? She won. My theory? Destroyed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So now I'm simply accepting reality. She's going to grow. She's going to demand water. She's going to keep developing. And I'm going to keep providing what she needs. That's the relationship. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ I'm not trying to make her smaller. I'm not trying to force her into a shape. I'm not trying to punish her for ignoring my original plan. I'm simply letting her be herself. And honestly? That's much more enjoyable. Because when you stop trying to make the plant fit your expectations... you can actually appreciate what the plant is showing you. And this girl is showing us something beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฆ THE WORKLOAD IS RIDICULOUS โ€“ BUT I LOVE IT Now... I want to make one thing very clear. I'm complaining. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But I'm not really complaining. I love the work. I love taking care of the plants. I love being in the room. I love checking them. I love watering them. I love watching them change. I love documenting them. So this isn't: "OH GOD, I HAVE TO WORK." ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's more: "WHY DID I CREATE UNNECESSARY WORK FOR MYSELF?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ There's a difference. I don't mind the work. I just don't necessarily understand why I voluntarily made the workload harder by putting a plant like this into a small pot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ But that's part of learning. And I'll gladly take the lesson. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE KEEPS TEACHING This is exactly why I love this project. Every plant teaches something. Every phenotype gives us another observation. Every decision has consequences. Sometimes those consequences are exactly what we expected. Sometimes they're not. And sometimes... you end up with an 11-litre pot containing a plant that behaves like she belongs in 25 litres or native soil. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ That's the fun. We're not pretending everything is perfect. We're documenting reality. The good decisions. The questionable decisions. The surprises. The lessons. The successes. The mistakes. And everything in between. And this girl? She's one of the funniest lessons in the entire room. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Because despite all my complaining... look at her. She's beautiful. She's healthy-looking. She's growing. She's shining. She's developing. She's getting bigger. She's still building. And she's absolutely doing what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ So yes... the spotlight belongs to her. Not because she's the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's the fastest. Not because she's the easiest. Actually... definitely NOT because she's the easiest. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She deserves it because she's one of the most entertaining plants in this entire adventure. She surprised me. She challenged my assumptions. She made me work. And she's still giving me beautiful results in return. That's a pretty good relationship. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... the finish line. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not going to put a deadline on her. I'm not going to pretend I know exactly how long she'll take. But I will say this: Girl... whenever you're ready... please consider finishing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because you're giving me work. A LOT of work. And while I love the work... this particular workload was entirely self-inflicted. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So we'll continue watching. We'll continue supporting. We'll continue providing what she needs. We'll continue observing the flowers. We'll continue watching those few yellowing leaves. And we'll let her decide when she's ready to move into the final chapter. No rushing. No forcing. Just observation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE PLANT THAT REFUSED TO BE SMALL Week 13. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And I think we can officially say: The small-pot experiment failed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Not because the plant failed. Because the plant completely ignored the premise. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ I thought: Small pot = smaller plant. She said: "Watch me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And now she's here. Big. Beautiful. Dense. Compact. Demanding. Thirsty. Still growing. Still shining. Still developing. Still making me work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ She's drinking. She's asking for more. She's using everything available to her. And she's continuing to grow as if the 11-litre pot is merely a suggestion. Maybe 25 litres would have been more appropriate. Maybe native soil. Maybe I should have just given her a field. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Who knows? What I do know is this: She's beautiful. And I'm incredibly happy with what she's showing us. The few yellowing leaves don't scare me. She's moving toward the later stages. She's beginning to transition naturally. She's still building. She's still doing her thing. And we're simply here to provide what she needs. I'm her provider. Her caretaker. Her hands. Her water delivery service. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘ Whatever you want to call it. She's the one running the show. And I'm perfectly happy with that. So let's give this beautiful, demanding, ridiculous little-pot Queen the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching her. Let's keep supporting her. Let's keep watering her when she asks. And let's see if she finally decides to finish before I have to start charging her rent. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's not little. She never was. She's simply living in a small pot. And apparently... she has absolutely no intention of letting that stop her. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share everything from the beautiful moments to the completely questionable decisions. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the growing media and nutrition throughout this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And thank you to this girl too... for teaching me that apparently an 11-litre pot is not a reliable way to convince Amnesia Haze Pheno B to stay small. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ We learn. We evolve. We adapt. And we keep growing. This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to show us twelve plants... one room... one shared environment... and twelve completely different stories. And this girl's story? It's one of the funniest. One of the most demanding. One of the most surprising. And one of the most beautiful. She keeps growing. She keeps shining. She keeps asking for water. And I keep showing up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฟ That's the deal. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those beautiful flowers. Let's keep supporting her. And let's see when this demanding little Queen finally decides: "Okay... I'm done." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ Until then... I'll be here. Watering. Watching. Documenting. Learning. And wondering why the hell I thought a smaller pot would make my life easier. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. Where some girls are cruising... some girls are taking the scenic route... and Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's cruising too... but apparently she's cruising directly through my water reservoir. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ See you next week! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š

One of the last days of 2x 16 colas and 2x 4 colas mainlining 4 month growing. Jamaican Dream and Green crack potted together and the experiment was successful. Three Blue kings was stressed in vegetative period by iron excess and overwatering. This is the reason that lower buds did not developed better. Amherst Sour diesel have one of the biggest buds I have ever seen. Jamaican Dream should be developed smaller, like Green Crack, but 100% sativa genetics showed it's greatness. Green Crack was growing like Jamaican Dream in vegetative period, but in flowering period its growing was slowly and now it has become very thick and full of buds. My growing box is very cheap but I tried maximum of my budget. 600w HPS is one of the greatest lamp for indoor growing. At flowering stage I have increased 600w to Super Lumens on my digital ballast for maximum yield. Main mistake is that I have used very cheap and primitive pots and soil was not enough good too. In these days I'll cut diesel and kings tops, because they are almost ready and lower buds need 7-12 more days to be ready for harvest.

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: โ€ขGlucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. โ€ขIt does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. โ€ขDue to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: โ€ขWhen sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. โ€ขThe fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. โ€ขSome organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. โ€ขWhile glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

This was a mild start to the week one plant is bursting in growth and the other plants are on a medium to slow growth increased ppm on the other slow growers to catch up other then that were pest free and very healthy.

Semana 2: La planta sigue el pulso del sol, firme y receptiva. ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒฟ Los tallos se engrosan y los nudos se consolidan, seรฑal de que la energรญa se distribuye con sabidurรญa. El color sigue siendo un verde profundo, y las hojas se orientan como antenas, buscando lo esencial. Es tiempo de observar los detalles: posibles brotes laterales, simetrรญas, respuestas al riego. Una ligera poda puede ayudar a que la energรญa suba. Y como siempre, asegurar buena ventilaciรณn es clave. ๐Ÿ’จโœ‚๏ธ Todo se alinea con la temporada. La transiciรณn se siente en cada amanecer. ยกSeguimos creciendo fuerte! ๐Ÿ’ช

3rd week of flower , Iโ€™ve started the boost at 1.5ml per litre , both my lights are about 6-7โ€ away from the tops of the plants and are not causing any issues . Iโ€™ve lowered my humidity to 45% in the day and about 55% at night , had to purchase a decent dehumidifier and put it outside the tent . Gave them there last lollipop and defoliation on end of week 3 .Will only take some fans leaves off when needed from now

End of week 9 and I'm seeing just a few amber trichomes and most of hairs have turned brown so she'll most likely get chopped during week 10.

Hello. This is week 1 of flowering. Yes... Just flipped when I took pics earlier. The next trim up will be before the end of week 2... before the resin starts to show I'll take more sucker branches off and trim up some of those fan leaves in the middle for better air movement. And any fan leaf that doesn't get light on the bottom comes off as well. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Hi all๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to my another week update Hope everyone keeping well ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Week 4 Feb 23 - Feb 29 Very good week. Girls are growing nicely. Finally a bit of work around my babies. On Feb 24 applied LST, girls responded perfectly. Leaves tucking on daily basis. 2 watering with 1L each on Feb 24th (half nutrients dose) and second one on Feb 28 alongside with 2 foliar feedings(100ml water and fish mix). So far this grow is just a pure joy. Both girls are strong and healthy. Wishing you all a wonderful weekโœจ๐Ÿ€ Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ Peace and love brothers and sisters ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/TROPICANA-COOKIES-AUTO https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Ciao a tutti! Sono veramente senza parole per la quantitร  di terpeni e tricomi, mai avuti risultati simili. Devo dire che la linea advanced nutrients sta facendo tutto il suo dovere, non ho mai sentito un profumo cosรฌ, si sente anche fuori di casa. Ho defogliato ancora tra una rete e l'altra andando a eliminare tutte le foglie che erano inutili, per evitare rischi muffa (visto anche l'umidificatore acceso) e per far sรฌ che aria e luce non abbiano impedimenti a circolare liberamente. Penso che manchino 3 settimane, dalla prossima inizierรฒ con l'overdrive per far sรฌ che la pianta inizi a scaricare tutto quello che ha. Sono veramente soddisfatto, senza parole. La prossima volta metterรฒ solo piรน due vasi e due strain, per ridurre il consumo di acqua e fertilizzanti, ho visto che ce la posso fare tranquillamente e piรน o meno nelle stesse tempistiche, visto l'eccessivo allungamento avuto questa volta. Una nota di merito allo strain, la barney's non delude mai ma la mimosa evo รจ veramente top, lo scorso anno ho fatto quella normale stavolta per orange punch e devo dire che รจ lo strain migliore che ho messo finora. Bene, continuerรฒ a rifarmi gli occhi, a settimana prossima! ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ”

Quick update focused on the two Future #1 plants. Both Future #1 plants appear to be relatively light-sensitive. Future #1 #2 does not tolerate ~600 PPFD well and has been showing clear tacoing leaves since reaching that intensity. Future #1 #1 does not show the same response, so this looks more like a plant/phenotype-specific sensitivity rather than a general setup issue. โœ‚๏ธ Training / Defoliation Flower Week 3: lollipopping Flower Week 4: another heavy schwazzing defoliation ๐Ÿ’ง Parameters Input: EC 1.5 | pH 6.2 (approx. 33% of the feeding schedule) Drain: EC 1.5 | pH 6.5 Overall stability is good. Next step is to keep monitoring stretch and flower build-up, and especially how Future #1 continues to respond to the current light intensity over the coming days.
