Big cracked on the main cola of plant #4 not dying but very fragile. She will be okay I think. Update : 22/08 Mealybug, so far I see only 1 found some info from Google this can be a problem with infestation Treatment : I clean off the stem area with water mix with drop of alcohol and washing liquid.

8/8 Rained all night. Still raining today and the forecast says it will continue throughout the day until midnight. It's come down heavy at times but for the most part it's a rain that plants like. Defoliated a couple leaves but nothing really needed it. Without a trellis or my tarps up the grow bags seem to dry out incredibly fast so I need to watch that. It's also "toughened" up the plant wants. I've seen them blowing straight sideways and they were fine. I do need to find that four lined plant bug and spray BT after the rain. Plants lovedcthe nutes. I might feed a little later today or tomorrow. I've got a few things to do but I'll keep this updated. Went over and defoliated ANYTHING that needed it and combed through every plant during a pause in the storm. Then I shook them all off and did a video. This is by far the healthiest crop I've grown! I think they can handle more nutes too so I'm going to up it next feed. Still seeing stptadoc chunks missing and random pillar damage. BT will handle it. It's just so minor I'm not even sure if it should be addressed that way. I've had pretty good luck just looking for them and picking them off. 8/9 Cannabis can grow an inch or two in a day and it definitely has been! The rain has finally stopped. I went and shook all my plants off. I'm going to check and see the last time I fed and try to get a feeding schedule created that won't cause lockout. That's been a problem in the past. I've defoliated a lot of leaves lately but EVERYTHING is looking amazing. Extremely healthy. I DO need to spray BT for the pillars and I need to move that one plant back. I keep forgetting to grab the little wheels I need to make a platform. There are other ways I could do it I guess. I'll keep this updated. No damage from the storm and I went through and defoliated before and after. Forgot to upload shit and now I'm back home with this shitty internet connection. I'm trying to upload this video but we'll see. It's at like 32%. I did a full workout and came back to find this at 77% lol. I need to remember to upload things when I'm not in the middle of the woods. UPDATE: Checked on things and did a video. Need to feed, apply bt and secure individual branches before flowering increases 8/10 LOOKS to be a beautiful day. Growbags are heavy as hell and wet on the bottom. I ALMOST fed today and I still might. The pp in the 10 seems to have leeched a lot of nutes. That and a giant blueberry cheese are the only places I'm seeing a deficiency and I want to keep it simply. I also need to put a trellis up apply BT. also if I'm going to move things around I've got to do it before I put up flowering supports. It's harder to move stuff when it's wet. I'll keep this updated. The girls look fantastic. UPDATE: Went and trellised two of my plants. I was going to feed today but decided to wait until the next time I water. I'm only seeing deficiencies on the phrple punch in the ten and the GIANT blueberry cheese that I watered the most. Bags were heavy as hell this morning but I bet I'll need to water tomorrow. We'll see. Hahaha wow. I'm trying to upload a video but even my tough as fuck plants might have some difficulty in torrential rains like this. Wow. That's all I can say. I'll either go check and shake them off tonight or if it keeps it up I'll wait until morning I guess. What a shit show 8/11 WOW. That's probably the hardest I've ever seen it rain. Got to the grow this morning and found NO damage. It's super sunny amd windy so the bags will probably dry out. I think it's suppised to rain again Sunday. I definitely haven't had to water that's for sure. Nothing was even bent over this morning. The blue cheese I didn't fim or top (I wanted to see gow it grew naturally) pop ka was bent down a little bit but not much considering the pounding it got. You can see on the videos. Since bags were saturated I didn't need to water before I fed. I fed 1.25 pints to every plant. I gave the fifty 2.5 pints and the purple punch in the 10 got closer to a pint. I want to start out slow with nutes as I'm nor seeing many deficiencies. I may fuck around today and put some more trellises up seeing this wind bur when flower comes I can just put my tarp up. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER BECAUSE THE WIND WAS WHIPPING LIKE CRAZY AND TREES WERE DOWN. I SANITIZED ALL MY TRELLISING AND HORIZONTALLY TRELLISED TWO 10TH PLANETS IN FRONT AND VERYICAL TRELLISED THE THIRD. HORIZONTAL TRELLISED THE PURPL WE PUNCH IN THE 10 AND VERTICAL TRELLISED THE BLUE CHEESE IN THE 50 AND THE 10TH PLANET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAGE. GLAD I GOT THIS DONE. NOW I JUST NEED TO SPRAY BT AND I'LL FEEL CAUGHT UP. 8/12 Got my supports up and ready now I've just got to find the time to give the girls an application of BT. I've done a pretty good job with manual removal thus far. Bags are over watered. It's Rained so hard and so often that the bags have stayed drenched. Luckily this ridiculous wind has been drying my grow bags out relatively fast. I'm hoping that will be the case today. They're starting to dry out but it's supposed to rain tonight and I think tomorrow. Bright and sunny right now. These are some resilient plants. They seemed to like the liquid kool bloom. I noticed (barely noticeable but I was looking for it) a SLIGHT color change at the very TIPS of a few leaves on a plant but not enough to consider it burn. I will monitor but I think ive got a pretty good feeding regimen. I plan to use as little as I can get away with. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: WENT TO CHECK ON PLANTS AS I GOT "THAT FEELING". EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING GREAT BUT THEN I WENT AND LIFTED MY DRY 22GALS OF SOIL AND COMPATED IT TO MY 20S AND LIKE I THOUGHT THE WIND HAD DRIED THEM OUT. I CANT BELIEVE HOW QUICK THEY DRY OUT. I GAVE EVERYTHING 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST EXCEPT FOR THE 10 WHICH I GAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN A GALLON. I GAVE THE 50 A LITTLE OVER 2 GALLONS AND I DISNT NOTICE RUNOFF. I HAD MORE WATER MIXED UP IM THINKING I SHOULDVE GIVEN IT ANOTHER GALLON. OH WELL ITS SUPPISED TO RAIN A LITTLE TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW. I HAVEN'T WAYERED IN LIKE A WEEK SO I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE GIVEN THE WHOLE 2 GALLONS. THEY GOT DAMN CLOSE THOUGH. 8/13 Rained like hell last night. Oh course it did. Doesn't really matter though. I had to water. I thibk the last time "I" watered was lime a week ago. My bags were dry. Plants weren't drooping and they might've been ok but I've under-watered twice already to the point they drooped right over dead looking and I wasn't going to do that again. Plants seem to love the nutes I gave. Keeping the tarps off and allowing the wind through and having my bags on pallets has really saved me this year. Everyone else is bitching about the rain and lack of sun but things are going great for me knock on wood. I'm not 'in the ground' though so that probably has something to do with it. I just need to check my plants multiple times a day. These plants are getting massive. The cage is at least 8ft tall and the biggest one is about to the top now. Almost as wide too. 8/14 I forgot to write the entry but I uploaded some pics from this morning. They were wet from the storm but I went back over and took video that's like two and a half minutes plus I took some pictures. I pulled the cage out but I need to undue one of the lathes and pull it forward. I also need to apply BT. Plants seem to be aggressively flowering (some more than others) so it's a real exciting time. I went over this afternoon and everything looked fantastic. I'll try to upload a few pictures but the video will have to wait. Didn't rain today and my bags sry out quick so I'm sure they'll be fine even if it rains. I did notice that the two plants I watered most including the smallest container seem lighter in color. IT might hust be the transition to flower but u think I need to increase feed. On the 10th planet's they are green as can be and have that SLIGHT little almost unnoticeable part you really have to look for on the tips that means it's getting its nutes but it's not burnt. I believe I'm going to have to make feeding schedules for each strain

9/5: I hope to successfully germinate all 15 of the Fastbuds seeds that I bought along with the 2 freebie Blackberry beans I was given by the nice folks at Hipersemillas.com. I'm also germinating 4 x Sweet Seeds Dark Devils that will be managed in a separate diary. I am keeping it really simple this run and am using my new DWC cloner to germinate. I made up 3 gallons of a de-chlorinated water in a strong solution of Endoboost Hydro and added 1/4 tsp of Superthrive per gallon. I adjusted the Ph to 6.0 and let the pump and aerator cycle the res for a few hours. I put rapid rooters into 1.25" net pots and ensured that the water level was high enough so as to just touch the bottoms of the rooters. About 10 minutes later the rooters were all nice and damp, so I planted and prayed. I've just got a 9w pinkish grow light mounted about 5 inches above the rooters, but once they are rooted well, I'll move them into a 1020 tray with dome under 65w of mixed spectra lighting with supplemental blues. Once they've got a couple sets of leaves, I'll plant the rooters in some half-gallon biodegradable fabric bags and move them into my tiny tent under a pair of mixed spectrum QB's. They'll have to stay in there until my current run of photo clones is done in the closet. Once space opens up in the closet, I'll plant those biodegradable bags into 3 gallon pots and move them in. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks....๐Ÿ™ 9/7 (a.m.): Thus far, I've just got one each of Wedding Cheesecake, Strawberry Pie, and Lemon Pie emerging... 9/9: All but one Lemon Pie are up and growing. The problem child may yet fully emerge..her cotyledons are opening up, but they're just below the surface. I caught some rainwater today and pre-watered all the 1/2 gallon degradable fabric starter pots with it. My photo clones still have a couple weeks left, so the timing should be right for me to move these seedlings into the tiny tent in a few days and plant them in the starter pots...and 12-15 days later I'll plant the starter pots into some new 3 gallon fabric pots I've already got filled and waiting. This batch of soil I'll be using has been cooking since late March, and the rhizosphere is fully rocking. I also treated all my soil this summer with Beauveria Bassiana, Metarhizium Anisopliae, and Azamax to ensure I have no pestilence to deal with, so I'm optimistic that this will be a successful grow.๐Ÿ˜ 9/0: I planted up all but one Lemon Pie in 1/2 gallon degradable pots and moved them into the tiny tent under 240w of mixed spectra quantum boards.

The extract possess sativa-like properties. It was a bit dirty but not too bad. The taste of plastic barrel and some rancid off flavours had to be removed to enjoy this bleak ghost, this chemical apple, this bitter tasting, rose petal smelling spirit manifesting as this meta artifact, a lockpick to be used to unlock Eden; when no invitation had been given. My grow had been botched as it turned out to be a male disguised as a female. The Crystal Meth grow; not ending in a fruitful outcome, it's allmost poetic. I had to chop this biker/trash classic. This extract originate from another strain of Meth, another grower. I wasn't disapointed at my failed attempt. That grow was like a tweaker manifestation in it's own right. The herm traits was just the topping on the cake; it was hillarious! xD The replacement delivered, just not what I was expecting. It was more potent than anything I had had before, yet more loving. It was a perfect borderline relationship, intense, much sin involved and a pinch of distrust and paranoia. Sitting in complete serenity like a praying monk, a sigh of relief; heart beating at a steady 90-110 bpm; hearing this ticking through my clenched O-face mouth... Like a winded up mechanical meat monkey beating it's symbals made out of flesh; Tick, tick, tick. Thinking branched out in fragmented thoughts, but leading to absolutely nothing productive. An aquired but surprisingly pleasant taste that I do not want anyone else getting used to. Friday quickly turning to tuesday, still weekend and the separation anexiety that comes with being apart from one another was not yet manifesting. This passionate kind of insense sadnes, followed by empty boredom was encountered later, as the journey took us further and further down unexplored ideas, never to be explored. Like letting go of your soulmate, and being the one doing the ghosting; it's tempting to take her back. And why would you? This pre honeymoon feeling doesn't last forever. Stay with her for too long; she is not letting go, or more likely you aren't. She is better at the waiting game than you. She is not the forgiving kind either and will devour chunks of your soul, without you even noticing; until there is nothing but an empty vessel left, empty and bored. Anyway... Have fun, and stay off the shit you are not willing to pay the toll for. This one wants all, and you will still be in a little bit of debt once you think you are done and want to catch up with life again your motivation will linger, your energy will be constantly low. The being materialized in front of me, a furious demon taking notice of me; as I was trying to fall asleep, but still being somewhere in the unknown, fading slowly into sleep but suddely being pulled back. The senses picked up its presence first, waves of cold chills though the body, hair signalling alert! The presence was still invisible to the naked eye; just this realization I was not alone. An uninvited guest, searching for something in the darkness. Heart beating so hard, like it was trying to break free from my ribcage and abandon me from this imminent threat. I managed to flip on the bedroom light, watching in horror as an enormous shadow projected on the wall from the light being consumed by the thing in front of my bed that I could sense but not see. Paralysed by fear, unable to escape, unable to scream; pure spine-chilling horror. My legs were twitching softy like I was falling and picking up the speed. Was this how it would end? My fight or flight response decided to just surrender like a deer in the headlights looking at it's bane, not accepting, but having no other options. Don't do drugs m'kay? The End. For those who still didn't understand, here it is explained in a short clip listen carefully to the message: https://rumble.com/shorts/v371j6a?e9s=src_v1_s_sr Back story on youtube here, its a bit slow loading to have patience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ A more in-depth version for the true detectives: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=w9lAsKN2XZvfp4o8 When this soulless ginger manifests in front of you; Touch some grass, PPP, Take care. :)

The run continues nicely, we still had some temperatures of nutritive solution a little high with the heat of Danielle. It drops drastically in 2 days so I will finally finish this growth in the calm one and will be able to begin my bloom on September 24th. I apply hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 0.5ML/L, twice a week as a treatment. The root Rot X is used every ten days when changing the nutritive solution. I put less water in my system, in order to create a wet zone and a dry zone, I make sure that the roots are always immersed of course. As soon as the temperature drops, I will switch to 800 ppfd for the end of growth and depending on the evolution of the plants I may add some sensi grow a and b to increase the ec a little. If you are attentive, you will observe on the tips of the leaves or even on the leaves, spots of burns or deficiencies, it is simply the consequence of the pythium a few days earlier. The last growth update will be around September 24/25.

Despuรฉs de dejar las plantas 1semana mรกs de lo previsto ya estaban perfectas para cortar, una vez cortadas las manicure todas bien, me gusta manicurarlas cuando estรกn acabadas de cortar porque tienen las hojas duras y me resulta mรกs simple y me gusta mรกs el resultado final. Despuรฉs las tuve secando 2 semanas a 50% humedad. En el curado las pongo en botes de cristal hermรฉticos y con bolsas de curado (Bรณveda) que hacen que se mantengan la humedad perfecta sin necesidad de abrir los botes, despuรฉs de 5 meses de curado ya no pude aguantar mรกs y empecรฉ con esta variedad, el olor cambio totalmente y tiene un sabor complejo a madera con tonos dulces y sabrosos,el humo es bien denso y blanco. Los cogollos estรกn como piedras y con muy poca cantidad se estira muchรญsimo, en cuanto al efecto de primeras es energizante y dan ganas de hablar pero al poco rato se convierte en un fuerte efecto corporal que te deja en el sofรก sin hacer nada aparte de dormir๐Ÿ˜ต.

๐Ÿ‘‘ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno A Week 11 | The Queen Finally Gets Her Portraits ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And this week... WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Yes, my friends. After somehow managing to lose the individual photographs of our Queen for two consecutive weeks, I can finally confirm that Godfather OG Pheno A has officially returned to the photographic record. And because I felt slightly guilty about the previous weeks... I gave her TWO stacks. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ She deserved it. After all, she spent two weeks basically saying: "You keep talking about me, but where are my pictures?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Fair enough, Your Majesty. Here they are. And honestly... looking at these images, I'm very happy we made the effort. Because this girl is developing beautifully. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still doing absolutely everything in her own way. But now we can actually look closely at what she's been building. So let's give the Queen the spotlight again. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 11 โ€“ THE QUEEN KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Not much changed physically for the plants this week. And that's actually the point. The room is established. The plants have their structure. The flowering sites are developed. The environment is stable. The irrigation is running. The nutrition has been adjusted. The lighting has been upgraded. And now... we let them work. Godfather OG Pheno A is continuing to grow and develop in exactly the same room as everybody else. Same environment. Same general strategy. Same lighting system. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Different genetics. And once again, she's showing us her own interpretation of that environment. She's not trying to become Blueberry Muffin. She's not trying to become Cash Express. She's not trying to become Chem Brรปlรฉe. She's Godfather OG Pheno A. And she's doing it her way. 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 QUEEN FINALLY GETS HER PORTRAIT SESSION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Okay... I have to admit something. This week wasn't exactly a massive photography week. I didn't spend hours photographing every plant from every possible angle. But when I got to Godfather OG Pheno A... I looked at her and thought: "Nope. She deserves at least two stacks." ๐Ÿ˜‚ So that's exactly what we did. Two stacks. And I'm really glad we did. Because macro photography gives us a completely different way of looking at the plant. Suddenly, the canopy becomes a landscape. The flowers become mountains. The trichomes become a forest of tiny structures. And those beautiful orange and white pistils weave their way through everything. Looking at these images, you can really see how much resin coverage she's building. The flowers are absolutely covered. The sugar leaves are coated. The surface of the buds is sparkling. And the more you look... the more there is to discover. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž 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’Ž A CLOSER LOOK AT HER RESIN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the part of the photography that makes me stop every time. You take the image. Then you zoom in. Then you zoom in again. And suddenly... there are trichomes everywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG Pheno A is showing some beautiful resin development. The macro stacks reveal layers upon layers of trichomes sitting across the flower structure. Some areas look almost completely covered. Others show the green floral tissue underneath, surrounded by sparkling resin. And then you have those pistils running through everything, giving the flowers that beautiful contrast between green, white and orange. It's one of those moments where photography becomes more than simply documenting the plant. It becomes a way of seeing something that your eyes simply can't appreciate in the same way. The naked eye says: "That's a frosty flower." The macro stack says: "Look at ALL of this." ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ 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‘‘ STILL THE SAME HUNGRY QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... before anyone thinks the Queen has suddenly become polite... No. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's still hungry. Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of the more demanding phenotypes in the room. That characteristic hasn't disappeared. If anything, it has become part of her identity throughout this run. She's a large plant. She's got a substantial structure. She's supporting a lot of foliage. She's developing flowers throughout that structure. And she's using the resources available to her. That's one of the things I find so fascinating about running multiple phenotypes together. We can give the room a consistent foundation... and then watch the plants tell us what they think about it. Some are quieter. Some are more compact. Some are more relaxed. And then there's Godfather OG Pheno A. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ "More, please." She hasn't changed her position on the matter. 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 SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is really the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One general environment. And twelve completely different conversations happening between the genetics and that environment. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us one of the more obvious examples. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's substantial. She's built her own architecture. And now she's developing flowers across that architecture. The environment hasn't been specially designed for her. She's adapting to the same environment as everyone else. And that's exactly what makes the comparison interesting. We're not trying to force every plant into the same shape. We're observing. We're documenting. And we're allowing the genetics to speak. This Queen has certainly found her voice. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ 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 MORE PHOTONS โ€“ SAME QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... we have another major change to talk about this week. The room is now running with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available light was more than we wanted to run at full output. So instead of simply throwing everything at the plants... we reduced the power. We're now running approximately 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. And I really like this setup. Because we're not chasing maximum power. We're creating capability. We have more lighting available when we need it... without needing to run every fixture flat out. That means more flexibility. More control. And, importantly, no reason to waste electricity simply because the fixtures are capable of producing more. The Queen doesn't need us to turn the room into a miniature sun. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She just needs access to the photons she can actually use. 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 PHOTONS MEET PLANT ARCHITECTURE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is where Godfather OG Pheno A becomes particularly interesting. She's around 169 cm tall. She's not a small, compact plant. She's a three-dimensional structure occupying a significant amount of vertical space. So when we talk about ~1,500 PPFD at the upper canopy, that's only part of the story. The light interacts with the entire structure. Leaves intercept photons. Some light passes through. Some reaches deeper. Some reflects. Some is absorbed lower in the canopy. And then we have the additional Lumiflora lighting helping reach areas that naturally receive less direct illumination. The plant isn't a flat surface. She's a living structure. A three-dimensional photon-catching machine. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ And this Queen has plenty of surface area available for those photons to meet. 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 FUTURE OF GROW โ€“ A BIG THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I also want to take a moment to give another big shoutout to Future of Grow. They supplied the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test in this adventure, and they've made a very interesting difference to the lighting capacity of the room. The beauty of having more available power isn't necessarily running everything at maximum. It's having headroom. It's having options. It's being able to distribute light across the room while controlling the actual output we're using. And right now... ~59% from the plug is giving us the ability to work around that ~1,500 PPFD upper-canopy target. That's a pretty impressive amount of light without needing to push the fixtures anywhere near their maximum. So thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures through their paces. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ 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 THE FLOWERS ARE SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And now that we actually have photographs again... I think the flowers deserve a little attention. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The macro stacks show a plant that is clearly well into her flowering development. The floral structures are established. The pistils are developing beautifully. The resin coverage is becoming increasingly obvious. And there's that wonderful mixture of green flower tissue, white trichomes and orange pistils that makes every macro image look completely different from the one before it. This is the stage where I really enjoy documenting the plants. Because the changes aren't always dramatic from one day to the next. But put photographs from different weeks beside each other... and suddenly you can see the story. The plant has changed. The flowers have changed. The resin has changed. The structure has changed. And all those small changes add up. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ 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 LITTLE INTERVENTION โ€“ LOTS OF 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”€ Just like with the other girls... we didn't do much physically this week. And that's intentional. The major structural work has already happened. The plants are flowering. Healthy leaves are still doing their job. The flowers are developing. The root zones are being supplied. The environment is stable. So there isn't much reason for me to walk in there every day looking for something to cut. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is... nothing. Watch. Observe. Measure. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant actually grow. Godfather OG Pheno A certainly isn't asking me to interfere. She's busy enough doing her own thing. 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”€ โš—๏ธ FEEDING โ€“ THE MENU HAS BEEN INCREASED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This week we also increased the nutrition slightly, just like with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom moved from: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.2 ml/L โ†’ 2.3 ml/L The rest of her current feeding remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required That small increase brought the room EC up a little. Current EC is around: โšก ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... the Queen is probably happy about this. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Although I wouldn't be surprised if she sends another royal request next week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues to remain very stable. Current conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h And again... the numbers are only one part of the story. The most important thing is how the plants are responding. And Godfather OG Pheno A is responding with: ๐ŸŒฟ Growth ๐ŸŒธ Flower development ๐Ÿ’Ž Resin ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Appetite ๐Ÿ‘‘ Personality That's a pretty good report card. 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’จ SAME ENVIRONMENT โ€“ LET HER WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this point in the run, my main job is becoming increasingly simple. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep the airflow moving. Keep the lighting where we want it. And observe. The plant already knows what she's doing. Godfather OG Pheno A has spent the entire run building the structure that she's now using to support these flowers. So now we get to watch the payoff. All those branches. All those leaves. All those photons. All that root activity. All those days of growth. Coming together in these flowers. That's the part of the grow that I love. ๐ŸŒฟโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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”ฌ TWO STACKS FOR THE QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And I think the two macro stacks were absolutely justified. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ After two weeks without her own photographic feature... she was owed. And honestly, these images remind me why I love doing stacked macro photography so much. A single photograph can show you a beautiful flower. A focus stack can reveal an entire world. Every tiny trichome becomes visible. Every little variation in the surface becomes part of the image. You start seeing structures that you simply don't notice when standing in front of the plant. And with Godfather OG Pheno A... there is certainly plenty to look at. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž So yes. Two stacks. Because apparently the Queen's photographic allowance had been accumulating interest. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ 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? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now we continue watching. The plant is established. The flowers are developing. The resin is becoming more obvious. The nutrition has been increased slightly. The lighting environment has been expanded. And the Queen is still doing what she does best. Growing. Eating. Flowering. And occasionally making me feel like I'm not feeding her enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I'm curious to see how the flowers continue developing from here. I'm curious to see how the resin expression progresses. And I'm especially curious to see what the next macro session reveals. Because now that we've finally got her photographic record back... I'm not losing it again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I hope. 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 QUEEN IS BACK ON CAMERA โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So... Week 11. And for once... we actually have individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ After two weeks of photographic disappearance, the Queen has officially returned to the camera. And honestly? She looks fantastic. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still building. She's still catching photons. And she's still developing those beautiful flowers that have made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. The room hasn't changed specifically for her. The environment remains shared. The lighting has been upgraded for the whole room. The nutrition has been increased for the whole room. And yet... she continues to interpret everything in her own way. That's the experiment. That's the beauty of phenotypes. Same room. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different expression. Different story. And Godfather OG Pheno A is definitely writing her own. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ This week, she finally got her photographs. Two beautiful stacks. And I think we can all agree... she was worth the wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to be such a fascinating experience. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's hungry. She's demanding. She's tall. She's beautiful. She's covered in developing flowers and resin. And apparently... she also expects a proper photography budget. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Fair enough. She earned it. So let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching the flowers develop. Let's keep documenting the differences. And most importantly... let's let the Queen shine. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And this time... I actually have the photographs to prove it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘

Lower leaves are losing color and browning, flushed out water and added fresh nutes in 4 days ago. Roots have a brown slug on them from left over nutes, probably going to rinse roots off in the next couple days.
