Can't Lst this thing enough. Seems like every other day it needs readjusting. Autos are crazy when they start going.

Buenas noches familia, os prometo que os deje lo mejor para el final, esta semana podéis ir despidiéndoos, ya que me parece que va a ser la última semana ✂️. Cambie de teléfono y las fotos son increíbles. El olor de nuestra indica es BRUTAL, huele muy fuerte a cítrico , tiene una pintada terrible, estoy deseando tener estas flores secas. Los cogollos brillan a la vista por una capa de tricomas... se nota sus 18% de Thc. Es una cepa que es 100% válida para proyectos SOG. Genética cruzada con Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Pakistani Kush. -realizamos un estrés hídrico: Lo cual es regar las últimas semanas en el mismo periodo de tiempo, pero reduciendo las cantidades de riego progresivamente. Zambeza a hecho un gran trabajo con esta cepa y no hay más que verla... 👏

All of the ladies are now starting to flower except the NHL I think it’s a little behind but all in all they are growing great! Day 31 - Everything seems to be going great, fed the ladies yesterday havnt had any more issues yet (Thankfully) thanks for following & happy growing friends✌️🏼🌱 Day 33- A few of the ladies have some dead leaves not sure if it’s normal or if something is wrong.. they all seem pretty healthy other wise!

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 8 | Okay… Now She's on Fire! 🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you're discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This project is an experiment in patience, genetics and observation. Twelve different cultivars are growing together under the same environmental conditions, lighting, irrigation system and general feeding strategy. The biggest variable? The plants themselves. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues to prove exactly why genetics matter so much. She has never been the fastest plant in the room, but this week something has definitely changed. This girl is on fire. 🔥? 🌱 A Quick Recap — How Did We Get Here? Blueberry Muffin is being grown under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. For anyone new to the concept, this means the plant receives a flowering light schedule from the beginning rather than spending several weeks under a traditional vegetative photoperiod. The idea isn't to force the plant into becoming something it isn't. Instead, we're allowing each genetic to show us what it can do when given the same basic conditions as every other plant in the room. During the early stages, I followed what I like to call a "no-touch" philosophy. Apart from necessary care, I avoided constantly manipulating the plants. There was no aggressive training programme and no obsession with making every plant look identical. There was some gentle leaf bending and positioning when necessary, but for the most part: I let them grow. That has given us something I find incredibly valuable now that we're deeper into flowering. We can actually see how naturally each plant wants to grow. And Blueberry Muffin has developed into a tall, open and beautifully structured plant, with plenty of space between her flowering sites and excellent visibility throughout the canopy. 🌸 Flowering Development And now we're getting into the fun part. The flowers are becoming much more obvious this week, with fresh pistils developing throughout the plant and the individual flowering sites beginning to take shape. She's still not the densest-looking plant in the room, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At this stage, I'm much more interested in how the plant develops over time than in trying to judge the final result too early. The structure is allowing light and air to move through the plant, and the flowering sites are clearly developing. We're entering the stage where the focus gradually moves away from producing more vertical growth and toward flower development, stacking and eventually bulking. She's getting there. And judging by this week's photographs… she knows exactly what she's doing. 😄? ✂️ Defoliation — But Without a Calendar This is also the point where we've started introducing some selective defoliation around the room. And I want to explain this because it is very easy for newer growers to look at a diary and think: "Week X means I have to defoliate on this exact day." No. That's not how I approach it. There are twelve plants in this room, and they're not all developing at the same speed. Some plants are ready for a little leaf removal now. Others aren't. Some may receive attention next week. And some may barely need anything at all. I'm also doing this entire project myself, so there is absolutely no reason for me to create artificial pressure by saying: "Today is defoliation day for everybody." Instead, I look at the plants and make decisions based on what they're showing me. The goal isn't to remove as many leaves as possible. The goal is to remove what I don't need, while keeping enough healthy foliage to support the plant. For Blueberry Muffin, we're now selectively removing a few leaves here and there where they are blocking important flowering sites, creating unnecessary overlap, or simply no longer contributing much to the canopy. It's a much more surgical approach than stripping the plant bare. And honestly, I prefer it that way. Grow with the plant, not against it. 🌱 🌿 The Slightly Light Green Colour Now let's talk about something I mentioned last week. Blueberry Muffin is still showing a somewhat lighter green colour compared with some of her neighbours. It's particularly noticeable on some of the older leaves. But importantly: I'm not seeing anything that makes me panic. The plant is flowering, producing new growth and developing healthy-looking flowers. However, she is clearly a little more demanding nutritionally than some of the other plants in this room. And this is where growing twelve different genetics together becomes interesting. The entire room was asking for more nutrition, so we increased the overall feeding strength. But Blueberry Muffin? She's basically saying: "Thank you… but I might need a little more." 😂 So now we're going to give her some time to respond. Rather than immediately making another adjustment, I'll watch the new growth and overall colour over the coming days. If the plant starts returning toward a deeper, healthier green without developing signs of excess nutrition, we'll know we're moving in the right direction. This is one of those situations where observation is more valuable than chasing a number. ⚗️ Feeding Strategy The current feeding has been increased slightly as flowering progresses and as the room's overall demand has increased. At the moment we're running approximately: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution: EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm pH: 6.0 The important part here is that this isn't simply about pushing the EC higher because the plants are flowering. The plants are communicating their demand through growth, colour, water consumption and overall development. We've responded with a moderate increase and now we're watching. If Blueberry Muffin continues improving, fantastic. If she tells us that we've gone too far, we'll adapt again. There is no prize for following a feeding chart blindly. The chart is a starting point. The plant gets the final vote. 💡 Lighting We're currently maintaining a 12/12 light schedule, with the plants receiving a strong flowering intensity. The canopy is getting approximately 800 PPFD. For anyone new to PPFD, this is basically a measurement of how much photosynthetically useful light is reaching the plant canopy. It doesn't tell us everything about light quality or plant response, but it gives us a useful way of understanding light intensity. At around 800 PPFD, we're providing a substantial amount of light without trying to push the plants unnecessarily hard. At this stage, I'm happy with where we are. If the plants continue asking for more light and the environment allows it, there is always room to make adjustments. But once again: more isn't automatically better. We're looking for the balance between light, temperature, CO₂, nutrition and plant health. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues to be remarkably stable: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25.6°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h She's growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system, with the root zone continuing to receive consistent access to nutrient solution. That consistency is particularly useful during flowering because we're not constantly creating large swings in moisture availability. The goal is simple: Keep the root zone happy and let the plant concentrate on the flowers. 🔬 Structure & Personality One of the things I really enjoy about Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is that she's becoming increasingly easy to read. She's not trying to be the biggest or bushiest plant in the room. Instead, she's developed a tall, open architecture with a strong central structure and numerous flowering branches distributed along the plant. The photographs this week really show that personality. And this is exactly why I wanted to run twelve different genetics together. If I had only grown Blueberry Muffin, I might simply describe her as "a tall plant." But when you see her standing beside eleven other cultivars receiving the same treatment, you start to understand that this is her genetic expression. That's the fascinating part of this project. 🔮 Looking Ahead For next week, I'm not planning to chase anything. I'll continue monitoring the colour closely, particularly the newer foliage, while watching how the flowers develop and begin to bulk. If she responds positively to the increased nutrition, we'll keep things stable. If she tells us something different, we'll listen. I'll also continue selective defoliation where necessary, but without forcing every plant onto the same timetable. There is no need to create stress simply because the calendar says it's time. We're now entering a stage where patience becomes increasingly important. The framework has been built. The flowers are here. Now we let them do their job. 🌸 And Blueberry Muffin? She's finally starting to show us why she took her time. The quiet ones can surprise you. ?🔥 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Whether you've been here since germination or you've just discovered this diary, I genuinely appreciate every visit, comment, question and conversation. This project has become much more than twelve plants in a tent. It's an opportunity to observe how different genetics behave when we remove as many variables as possible and simply give them the same environment. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document the journey and learn together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore what this cultivar can do under a 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for supporting the plants with your growing media and nutrients throughout this adventure. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for providing the light that allows us to put all twelve personalities under the same sun and see how differently they respond. And finally, thank you. Because growing becomes even more rewarding when we can share the successes, the mistakes, the questions and the lessons with one another. Remember, this is simply my way of doing things and what is working for me in this particular environment. There is no obligation to copy anything you see here. Take what is useful, learn from it, adapt it to your own environment and, most importantly, learn to listen to your plants. Growers Love, everyone. 💚🌱 See you next week with Blueberry Muffin Pheno A… …and I have a feeling this little lady may have a few more surprises waiting for us. ?🔥

This garbage plant that was supposed to be an autoflower but was a photoperiod turned hermaphrodite on me. Not a few pollen sacks but tons everywhere. I noticed some pollen on some of the closer plants leaves so I hope it didn't fuck em up. I'm hoping that they are so early in flower that it won't pollinate em FOR EVERYTHING MARS HYDRO VISIT: www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydroled.ca PROMO CODE: rocknroll VISIT THE ALIEXPRESS STORE: @marshydro_aliexpress Instagram: @marshydropenny https://youtube.com/channel/UChU5ZWwNi-DvnO3oWVU3ceA (NEW) STRIVE NUTRIENTS 💪

She's kinda chugging through flowering. On autopilot.

Well guys first day of week 3 and she gets her head cut off, dont worry she didnt feel much pain and I soothed her with a little song to ease her pain nana nana nana nana BATMANNNN. Let's see her recover over the week and boost her stems forth so I can start bending and building a shape for her

Hello growmies, Quick update the girls are doing fine and are loving life at present everything is going well and they are starting to really bud up. Not alot more to add at this time. :) Adios amigo

@ 1.0-1.1 kPa

The seed had already sprouted after 24 hours and is now watered once a day.

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.

She is looking amazing 🤩 The buds are covering the whole steams, the colour is a bit orange🍊 bud are everywhere, what a little monster 😁👌

22 dias de vida,ultimo dia en maceta de 1lt...

Dutch Passion - Melonads Runtz, 120 days from seed and 72 days in flowering. The trichomes are still clear, so we will continue to wait until at least 20% of the trichomes turn brown before harvesting. Our beauty is still being fed with Xpert Nutrients, which keeps her in excellent condition. I want to express my huge thanks to Dutch Passion for such an incredible strain! And of course, a special thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their fertilizers that help the plant develop and show its full potential at every stage of growth!

First week of plain water but the fading occurred much sooner than that. The chop is set on the 15th of September so very close! Almost all of the trichomes have turned to milky. I plucked a couple more seeds to see the stage and they're pretty much all ready. I decided to separate them in different bags depending on what plant they grew on. I believe the ones that only had the hermie's genetic should logically be worst than the others so it's better to keep them seperate. We'll see each other again on the 15th :) ____________________________________________________________________________ Edit: I realized that I miscalculated a lot of things and that my diary is not as accurate as I wanted it to be. The correct chop date would be the 12th of September. The trichomes that are still clear still have a bit of time to turn white. I switch to 48hrs of darkness on the 10th.

Processed 2 plants and took some colas off one of the remaining plants make sure my washing volume is consistent. Holy smokes some amazing rosin. Consistency and terps are loud and stinky. Very potent effects. This mfker will put you on ur ass. The fresh press rosin is just outta this world. This strain dumps trichromes. What a great experience. Half way done and I have nearly 80 grams of rosin. Insane! Business is boomin

Well its another update from down under.. and things are getting better with the Caramelo. She got badly burnt from my mistake of using too strong lime sulfur spray to treat spider mites and mold issues before they could take hold. And its kinda worked. lols...the mites are still there but reduced alot in number but I was almost ready to chop her after I saw how badly burnt all her new shoots were. But Im glad I decided to wait a bit as she has recovered faster than expected and while im sure she still has issue at the root level from the rain drenching her for near on a week- she basically stunted after that and never showed much stretch at all when switching to flower-she grew maybe 15cms in height total after that so Im assuming some kind of root rot has her and any harvest will be a bonus. In saying that Im still not going to be suprised if she suddenly dies or gets badly infected with bud rot out of the blue as Im nursing her hard just to get her to this stage and in my experience a nursed plant may produce a yield but it will be weaker than its meant to be and reduced by around 50% of the yield you should have got. if she was indoor id have ripped her out after the sighs she was stunted presented and started over with a new plant. But out doors I dont have that luxury so I will nurse her thru and hope for the best but expect less than average results. Zkittles though is loving life and just LOOK at her!! When you realize she was the same size as the Caramelo when the rain hit and now look at the difference- thats why i say when you see obvious signs of stunting-rip the plant if you can and start over, it may recover but if it was serious then the plant will never show its true potential and you may think those genetics are shit. Ive never grown the Caramelo before now so if i judge it on this result I will say the genetics are shit when the plant likely had root rot from 3 weeks before even switching to flower. And the BC buds hash plant is FINALLY flowering too now. For a 90% indica it sure is taking the longest to flower. I wonder if its the old school genetics at play here-This strain been around since the 70's while the ZkittleZ is a modern hybrid so maybe the newer genetics really are all they are cracked up to be. Thats why I love doing side by side grows out doors with diff genetics and see what they can really do. You should see my mates BC hashys- lmao, he said he wanted bigger plants than last year as he got "bonsai" plants from someone else. Now he has to tie down trees that are growing over his 6ft fence!! And they only just went into flower last week. But on that note- Will update more now as things progress towards harvest. Cheers for stopping by and if your still reading this-nice work, most pple cant read shit these days so double points for making it this far.
