Waiting on a full plant hang dry so will wait at least two weeks maybe three hope ma vegging station holds up n can dae tge damage the now as av said guys this is definitely not the perfect set up am not on good terms with land lord so basically squatting here lol and growing and a got caught with one in this house the land lord doesn’t even know lol 😂

Havnt actually fed any nuts for over a week. After I made the mistake of feeding way too much I decided to just give her water for a couple weeks which I havnt had to do much cause there has been a lot of rain. And havnt had much sun so it’s been taking a while for the soil to dry up. Going to feed her in a couple days probably. My nutrient mix is at about a 4.5 ph in RO water which is by itself around 7.4 . So I have to add a bit of ph up to bring the ph into the mid to high 6 range. Any thoughts on that ? She seems pretty healthy to me at this point just been growing pretty slow I’m guessing from the lack of sun and nutrient shock I gave it the first half of it’s life

Week 13 in the garden, and it's been a week of contemplation and admiration. Despite my initial plan to flip the plants, I decided to give them another week in vegetation. It's like I'm sculpting a masterpiece, carefully grooming the plants into a perfect botanical sculpture. Working with my plants feels like art – it requires skill, love, dedication, and a sense of playing God. As I look at the tent, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and joy. These green beauties are turning out amazing, and I'm filled with overwhelming happiness whenever I get the chance to speak to people about them and show them off. But the time has come to take the next step in their journey. They're being flipped this week for sure, ready to embark on the next chapter of their growth. It's bittersweet, but I know it's all part of the magical process of growing these wonderful plants. Here's to Week 13 – a week of artistry, joy, and the promise of new beginnings. 🌿🎨

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 7 (Flower Week 4) 🌱 Small in Size, Huge in Character One of the things I've enjoyed most throughout this entire 8×8 Adventure has been watching two sisters grow side by side while expressing themselves in completely different ways. Same genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same feeding program. Yet every week they continue reminding me that a phenotype is far more than a name on a seed packet. Frosted Guava Pheno B has never tried to become the biggest plant in the room. She simply became herself. Now, entering her fourth week of flowering, she's proving that elegance doesn't need size. Because what she lacks in height... She more than makes up for in beauty. 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Beauty Is Taking Centre Stage Standing at approximately 101 cm tall, Frosted Guava Pheno B remains one of the most compact Frosted Guava phenotypes in the room. Very little training has been needed throughout her life. Apart from some gentle Low Stress Training and the occasional leaf tuck to expose developing bud sites, she's been allowed to grow almost entirely according to her own natural architecture. Sometimes that's the best decision we can make as growers. Rather than forcing the plant into our vision, we simply help her become the best version of herself. And that's exactly what she's done. Her stretch has now almost completely finished, allowing her energy to move where it belongs. Into the flowers. ✨ A Plant That Simply Shines This week she's absolutely beautiful. It's difficult to describe any other way. The deep green foliage creates the perfect contrast against the explosion of bright white pistils that now cover nearly every flowering site. Every cola seems crowned with fresh white hairs reaching toward the light, while clusters of calyxes continue stacking a little more every single day. Even before the flowers gain serious weight, there's already an elegance about this plant that's impossible to ignore. She's one of those phenotypes that naturally catches your eye whenever you open the tent. Not because she's the largest. Because she's glowing. The structure remains wonderfully organised, with each branch carrying its own collection of developing flowers while maintaining excellent spacing throughout the canopy. Everything feels balanced. Everything feels intentional. 🍃 Healthy Leaves, Healthy Flowers One thing that continues standing out is the overall health of the plant. The foliage remains lush, vibrant and beautifully coloured, showing exactly the kind of rich green every grower hopes to see during early flower. Leaf posture remains excellent throughout the day, suggesting healthy transpiration, strong root activity and a plant that's completely comfortable in her environment. The stems continue thickening naturally while supporting an increasing number of flowering sites. Every new day seems to add another layer of flowers. Another handful of pistils. Another little promise of what's still to come. 💡 Light Above And Below Despite her compact size, she's still receiving approximately 1,000 PPFD across the canopy from the Future of Grow Black Series lighting system. For growers unfamiliar with the term, PPFD measures the amount of usable light energy reaching the plant each second for photosynthesis. Rather than simply making the room brighter, it allows us to provide the plants with the energy they need to maximise flower production without unnecessary stress. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues complementing the main fixtures by bringing light into areas that would otherwise become increasingly shaded as flowering progresses. The goal isn't replacing the top lighting. It's helping lower flowering sites receive additional energy so they can continue developing alongside the main canopy. The real results will come at harvest, but watching the entire room evolve with this lighting combination has been incredibly exciting. 💧 Hand Watering – A Different Kind Of Connection One major change over the past weeks has been irrigation. At this stage, every plant in the room is now being hand watered. It certainly requires more time than automated irrigation. Every watering means mixing nutrients, checking pH, monitoring EC, walking plant to plant and making sure each one receives exactly what she needs. It's more work. There's no question about that. But there's also something incredibly rewarding about it. Hand feeding creates moments to slow down. To observe. To notice the little details that might otherwise go unseen. Sometimes caring for the plants becomes just as enjoyable as watching them grow. Current feeding remains beautifully consistent: • Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • pH: 5.8 Sometimes consistency is the best nutrient we can provide. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues supporting healthy flower production throughout the entire room. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Environmental stability remains one of the biggest priorities inside this garden. The plants are flowering under a VPD that encourages healthy transpiration, while fresh household air constantly replenishes natural CO₂ levels through the ventilation system. There's no bottled CO₂ supplementation here. Just good airflow, proper ventilation and letting nature do what it does remarkably well. 👀 Looking Ahead The coming week should bring one of my favourite transitions of the entire flowering cycle. The bright white pistils will continue multiplying, individual flowers will begin merging together into more defined colas, and resin production should become noticeably heavier across the sugar leaves and surrounding calyxes. Although she isn't the biggest plant in the room, I genuinely believe she has the potential to become one of the prettiest by harvest. Every week she becomes a little more convincing. And I can't wait to see how she finishes. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B has become a wonderful reminder that every grow tells multiple stories. Some plants impress you with explosive growth. Others impress you with massive harvest potential. And then there are plants like this one. Plants that simply make you smile every time you walk into the room. She has grown naturally, confidently and gracefully from the very beginning, asking for very little while giving back an incredible amount of beauty. Watching these two Frosted Guava sisters develop side by side has been one of the highlights of this entire project, and I'm more excited than ever to see how each of them finishes their journey. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, Lumiflora for adding a new dimension with their under-canopy lighting system, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, P and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, encouragement and shared passion for growing continue making this 8×8 Adventure something truly special. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Up to dimmer at 80%

Day 43/Flower Day 15 - Stretch, stretch and more stretch. Literally have all my headspace taken up and that’s using flat LED Bars! It’s not for want of light, these things HAVE to be getting a DLI over 45 now if not near 50 (I need to do a test)!!! Defs going to invest in 2 Royal Blue LED Bars for next grow. As soon as I bend over/tie down one set of big pushers, another pair start up that were not being shaded/shadowed by the previous set. Worried too with the stretch being as severe, the yield will suffer! As noted in comments, will be venting the building the grow tent is in better very soon but when I can get that done is another thing!!! Looks like I am going to have to pull my extraction out of the tent and run a blow through the carbon filter and get some more ratchet hangers to give me an extra 9"!!! Has to be Heat/Humidity and then the feed from the lights giving them what they need. Luckily, I am due to be receiving a 6" AC Infinity Setup tomorrow so may be the way to set it up just for the last 8 weeks of the grow. Also had 2 brand new RAM 7" Oscillating fans pack up within a few hours of each other...not 4 weeks old and they're done! The Sweet Cherry Pie defs not setting buds as quick as the Red-Hot Cookies...they look a few days to a week behind. This also probably means the last of growing different strains in the same tent! I don't have the space/means to set up a drying tent and need to use the grow space for that so need them to finish the same time. Both these are supposed to be a same week finisher but with the slower budset, I don't know - I could over-ripen the RHC or take the SCP when a bit under. Basically, that's it though. Nothing more to report other than things I have to engineer to get around! From the looks of it, I'll have no room to get my UVB tube in when the time comes but, dunno...we'll see. Have upped the Bloom Nutes now to be higher than the base to fuel the initial flower set. Have a bit of lower leaf fall off from lack of light/plants using the reserves and probs going to have to do a bit of a defoliate by the end of the week to settle humidity and have them top buds concentrated on. Apart from that, Happy Growing all!!! 💪

Week has gone very well will be trimming all fan leaves come week end. The buds are already starting to come in and the smell is becoming more pungent

This C4 auto was very fast to flower, and stretched up to produce some very pretty, berry smelling/tasting nugs! The buds didn't flower very dense, they formed as fox-tail shapes. Yield is on the low-end of acceptable, but good considering the bud structure! I'm growing another next run, to compare phenotypes!

budding up nicely now. One pheno looks to be growing different bud formations and is much more frosty. O stupidly didn't take a cut of this in veg so I've taken a flower cut to reveg and try monstercropping.

————-DAY 22 of flower—————- Alright stretch is all wrapped at this point. Did a little bit of defol just cuz things were getting cramped on the interior of the plants. Having to really watch run off on these girls. Couple signs of mildew 🤦‍♂️ Ugh - been months since I’ve had a lick of mildew and it starts up now. Lots of reasons probably - weather and shit outside. Just turned furnace on for the first time it’s kicking up all types of shit from inside the ducts. Upped ArmorSi cuz silica is supposed to help with WPM. Pheno 1 & 4 are largest two. Pheno 1 has more lateral branching into even canopy. 2 is middle child as far as size. 3 caught up actually after some late stretching. All are about the same nutrient wise except for 1 - she’s the odd one out as far as morphology in some respects. Also as I started saying is showing different needs as far as nutrients. Showing some calcium deficiency in the last week. Overall so impressed with these genetics and results thus far. ——————- Day 26 ——————- Stacking and putting weight on. PK boosted 3 first to show some purps in buds. Littttle tiny bit in 1 as well. Frosty as hell WPM seems at bay

Eccoci ragazzi! Allora come potete vedere la ragazza spruzza di vigore da tutti i pori! Ha un bel verde intenso e un sacco di nuove grandi foglie e diramazioni da tutte le parti, posso dire che sta procedendo davvero bene, e questa penso sia l ultima settimana di vegetativa, spero nn si allunghi troppo in fioritura, staremo a vedere la situazione come si svolge, buon 420 a tutti alla prossima settimana! 💪🤞😸🌱🌿🌲🧑‍🌾😎

Didn’t post some of the final weeks but this is the end. It was a tough grow - I don’t love 100% coco in the autopots and will be doing a 70/30 mix moving forward. Got a pound of great smoke from this one. Hadn’t gotten a pound off a plant before so it was nice to get this yield

June 29: she should start strong vegetative growth soon. July 1: last 30 days have been 1.5 C cooler than historic average and 3 C cooler than last year. Starting the autos late was likely not a bad thing this year.

Que pasa familia, volvemos el viernes con las power plant xL del banco Zambezaseeds, la verdad que estoy sorprendido con el Aroma que desprenden estos ejemplares, es muy dulce y fuerte. Han crecido bastante a diferencia del resto, sacaron brazos largos y llenos de flores. Conseguimos bajar la humedad y eso se agradece por la etapa que afrontamos de floración. Estás tú ultimas semana sin añadiremos PK en polvo. Hemos tutorado las power plant xL debido a la altura y el peso de la flor en si, ahorramos problemas futuros estás semanas y las centramos al engorde.

Flowering week 8. Flower developing was quite slow because i had too low humidity too early. Now humidity should be ok. Ph 6.0 & ec lovered to 1.60. Plant started to drink heavily on fd 52.

they are getting close too the end now there getting frosty. smells kinda like blue berry . the colas are densin up nicely . can't wait til harvest.

**Week 5 | Godfather OG** Real growth this week — height jumped from 14cm to 33cm. The structure backs it up: strong lateral branching off the main stem, nodes stacking tight, and the canopy is already filling out nicely for this stage. No stretch issues, no leggy growth — she's building a proper frame. Feed has stepped up to match the growth rate: CANNA Aqua Vega now at 3ml/l (up from 1ml/l), CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. EC reading 1.2 mS/cm, pH 6.2. Watering volume bumped accordingly to 1L per plant per 24h with the increased root demand. Outdoor conditions have turned properly summery — day temps hit 35°C this week, nights down to 18°C. That's a big swing and a hot one, but no sign of heat stress on the leaves, no canoeing, no wilt. The native soil integration through the bottomless pot is clearly helping buffer root zone temps and moisture even when the air gets that hot. Humidity sitting at 60%, light schedule now at 17h as days lengthen. Next phase is about keeping pace with this growth rate without letting the heat catch her off guard during the hottest stretch of the day. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.
