This week was big for me, I had on back order an eye hortilux ceramic HPS bulb and lighting kit, I was previously using their cmh bulb but as my girl started to get ready to flower I saw the new ligh had to be 36โ€ from the canopy but since my tent is only 6โ€™ I switched early.

She has become a beautiful little bush full of fat dense nuggets completely covered in fruity and sweet resin glands with some purple no tones in the buds. Love It!

Alright, I moved her into Homebox Q60+ now and provided some professional light Q3W from Sanlight with 120W full spectrum range. This setup is much better for the plant compared to my setup in 1st week. Now it is also much easier for me to keep stable humidity and temperature. Day 9 - Looks like she recovers from stress I gave her in 1st week. Stem looks quite thin to me - but since I have no experience I can't be sure if it is abnormal for this age or not.

So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 10 โ„๏ธ The Dark Green Sister Is Getting Frostier by the Day Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š And this girl... Wow. She's getting even darker. I honestly don't know how many different ways I can describe the colour anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Deep green. Dark green. Rich green. Almost ridiculously green. And now, alongside that incredible foliage, we're seeing beautiful compact flowers, serious frost, a strong aroma, and another characteristic that her sister is showing too: foxtailing. ๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ And that's getting interesting. Because when two plants from the same genetic line, growing in the same room, under the same general conditions, both begin showing the same unusual characteristic... well... I'm starting to suspect genetics may have something to do with it. I'm not saying that's definitely the explanation. I'm not going to pretend I can prove it from two plants. But it's certainly interesting. And that's exactly what this experiment is here for. Observe. Document. Compare. Learn. And enjoy the hell out of the process. And this girl? She's giving me plenty to enjoy. ๐ŸŒฑ One Room. Twelve Personalities. For anyone joining the 8ร—8 Adventure for the first time, welcome! The concept behind this project is something I absolutely love. We're growing twelve different plants in the same room, using the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation philosophy and nutritional program. The plants are all being grown under a 12/12-from-seed approach. Same room. Same grower. Same general conditions. And yet... they develop completely differently. That's the beauty of it. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide what they do with it. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is certainly making her own decisions. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate the tent. She's not asking for constant attention. Instead, she's becoming something I really enjoy: compact, dense, dark, frosty and beautifully individual. And now she's showing us that her sister isn't the only one with a little unicorn behaviour. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ ๐Ÿ’š Even Darker. Even Deeper. Let's start with the thing I can't stop noticing. That colour. She's getting even darker. The lower foliage in particular is incredibly deep green. And I absolutely love it. It's one of those characteristics that has become part of her identity. When I look at her now, I don't have to wonder which Frosted Guava I'm looking at. I know. That's Pheno B. The dark one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And the contrast is fantastic. Those deep green leaves surrounding increasingly frosty flowers make the developing buds stand out beautifully. The plant almost has this layered appearance. Dark foliage. Bright pistils. Green calyxes. And then... frost everywhere. It's a beautiful combination. โ„๏ธ Frosted Guava Is Definitely Living Up to Her Name And the frost... Wow. She's becoming seriously frosty. The resin coverage is increasingly obvious across the flowers and sugar leaves, and the photographs really capture how much the plant has progressed. At this stage, the flowers don't just look like developing buds anymore. They look like proper little structures. Compact. Dense. Covered in resin. And surrounded by those beautiful dark leaves. This is exactly the stage where I start getting impatient with my own camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because there is always another detail to photograph. Another flower. Another angle. Another little pocket of resin. Another structure that looks completely different when you get closer. And the closer you get... the more interesting she becomes. ๐ŸŒธ Compact, Dense & Beautiful Her flowers are developing in a way I really like. They're compact. They're dense. They're well defined. And they're carrying plenty of resin. She's not producing those enormous elongated structures that some of the taller girls in the room are developing. She's doing something different. She's building compact flowers with a lot of visual density. And I think that's one of the things that makes this phenotype so attractive. She's not trying to be her sister. She's not trying to be the tallest plant in the room. She's simply building the way she wants to build. And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. ๐Ÿฆ„ And Yes... More Foxtailing Now let's talk about the little unicorn horns. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Because they're still there. And after looking at her sister... I'm becoming increasingly curious about this. Both Frosted Guava sisters are showing foxtailing. Does that prove it's genetic? No. Not by itself. Could genetics be playing a role? Absolutely possible. And that's precisely why I'm interested. Because they're sharing the same room. The same general environment. The same lighting ecosystem. The same nutritional strategy. And they're both showing a similar characteristic. That makes the genetic component an interesting possibility. There can obviously be other factors involved in foxtailing too, so I'm not going to declare a scientific conclusion based on two plants. But for the purposes of this diary? It's absolutely worth documenting. And personally... I like it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š It makes the flowers look peculiar. It gives them character. It makes them less predictable. And you already know... I like peculiar. I like unique. I like unicorns. So I'm perfectly happy watching this expression develop. ๐ŸŒฟ Her Own Kind of Beautiful One thing I really enjoy about Pheno B is that she doesn't need to be spectacular in the same way as another plant. She's spectacular as herself. She's around 108 cm. She's compact compared with some of the giants around her. But when you look at the flowers? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the frost? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the density? Definitely not small. And when you smell her... well... she certainly doesn't feel small. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The aroma is becoming much more noticeable now. That's another sign that we're moving deeper into this stage of the journey. The flowers aren't just looking mature. They're starting to announce themselves. ๐Ÿ‘ƒ She's Starting to Smell And yes... she's smelling. That's becoming increasingly obvious. It's another one of those moments in a grow where the plant starts engaging another sense. First you see the flowers. Then you photograph them. Then you start noticing the resin. And eventually... you walk into the room and think: "Okay... hello there." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming increasingly aromatic. And I'm very curious to see how that develops as she continues toward maturity. Because the visual side is already giving us plenty. Now the nose is joining the conversation. โœ‚๏ธ No Need to Chase Her With Scissors After the selective cleanup we gave her previously, I'm not looking to keep interfering. She's got what she needs. The canopy has been opened where appropriate. The room is being maintained. The plant is developing. And now... I want her to work. This is one of those stages where I think observation becomes more valuable than intervention. The plant has already shown us her architecture. She's already shown us her flowering style. Now we're watching the flowers mature. So I'm not going to chase every leaf or every little characteristic. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's frosty. She's smelling. She's beautiful. That's enough for me. ๐Ÿ’ก Still Eating Photons The lighting ecosystem remains consistent. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora contributes additional illumination into the lower canopy. And Pheno B is clearly making use of the available light. She's maintaining those beautiful dark leaves while continuing to develop her flowers. Again, I'm not interested in forcing an explanation onto every characteristic we see. The foxtailing is there. The frost is there. The flower density is there. The colour is there. And the plant is telling us her story. Our job is to listen. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding Continues The flowering nutrition remains consistent with the general program being used across the room: ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โœจ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current recorded solution strength remains approximately: EC: ~2.0 mS/cm with: pH: ~6.0 Watering is approximately: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.2 L per plant / 24h And that's really the story right now. We provide. She responds. We observe. She keeps growing. It's a very nice relationship. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 10 Conditions Current GrowDiaries conditions: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 108 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 72% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: ~1.2 L per plant / 24h ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Smell: Strong The environment remains consistent with the overall project. And the plant? She's continuing to do exactly what she's been doing best. Being herself. ๐Ÿ“ธ This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really make the story easy to understand. Look at the flowers. Look at the density. Look at the resin. Look at those colours. And then look at the foliage surrounding everything. That deep green is incredible. The flowers almost pop out from the darkness of the leaves. And the closer photographs show just how much development is happening. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The compact structure. And, of course... those little foxtailing formations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ It's a really beautiful combination. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Two Sisters. One Interesting Clue. This is probably the part I'm most curious about now. Her sister is foxtailing. She's foxtailing. They're both Frosted Guavas. They're both in the same room. And they're both showing it. Again... I'm not going to pretend that's enough evidence to scientifically prove anything. But it certainly makes me wonder. Could this be part of the genetic expression? Maybe. Could other factors contribute? Of course. That's why we're documenting it. If both sisters continue showing the same behaviour as they mature, that's going to make the genetic explanation even more interesting to me. And that's exactly why I love this experiment. Sometimes you don't get an answer immediately. Sometimes you get a question. And a good question is still valuable. ๐Ÿ’š The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe Pheno B today in just a few words: Dark. Compact. Dense. Frosty. Aromatic. Peculiar. Beautiful. That's her. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She doesn't demand constant attention. But every time I stop and look at her... there's something else to appreciate. And that's a very good kind of plant to have. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead Now I'm genuinely curious about where she goes next. She's clearly moving toward a more advanced stage. The flowers are established. The resin is abundant. The colour remains incredible. The aroma is increasing. And the foxtailing continues to give her that peculiar little signature. So now... we wait. We watch. We photograph. We smell. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And we see how she decides to finish. Will the flowers continue becoming denser? Will the resin increase even further? Will the foxtailing become more pronounced? Will her colour remain this incredibly deep? And how will she compare with her sister when both are finally finished? I have no idea. And that's exactly why I'm enjoying this. โœจ Let This Dark Beauty Shine Frosted Guava Pheno B has really settled into her identity now. She's the darker sister. The compact sister. The dense sister. The frosty sister. And apparently... the foxtailing sister too. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's not trying to become something else. She's simply doing her thing. And that's exactly what I want. We provide the environment. We provide the nutrition. We provide the water. We provide the light. And then... we let her shine. Because she absolutely deserves the spotlight. ๐Ÿ’š Final Thoughts โ€” She's Becoming a Little Unicorn Week 10. And I think Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most visually interesting plants in this room. She's not huge. She's not trying to be. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly dark green. She's beautifully structured. She's getting extremely frosty. She's smelling. And she's developing those little foxtailing structures that make her flowers even more peculiar. And now that her sister is showing the same thing... I'm paying even more attention. Maybe it's genetics. Maybe it's partly genetics. Maybe other factors are involved. I don't know yet. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying: I don't know yet. That's what the experiment is for. We're here to watch. We're here to compare. We're here to document. We're here to learn. And sometimes the plant doesn't give you an answer. Sometimes she gives you another question. And this girl has given me a very interesting one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š But whatever the explanation... I like what I'm seeing. I like unique. I like peculiar. I like flowers that don't all look exactly the same. And this girl certainly isn't boring. She's beautiful. She's dark. She's frosty. She's compact. She's aromatic. She's developing quickly. And she's doing it all without asking me for much more than what we're already providing. So let's keep doing exactly that. No unnecessary drama. No unnecessary intervention. Just: provide, observe, document and enjoy. Because Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing a damn good job of the rest. Let's make this dark green beauty shine. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this crazy 8ร—8 Adventure and share the differences that appear from plant to plant. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics behind these fascinating sisters. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain and monitor the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every week. Every photograph. Every comment. Every question. Every little observation. That's what makes this adventure what it is. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's giving us another beautiful chapter. Deep greens. Compact flowers. Serious frost. A growing aroma. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. She's very different from her sister. But every bit as beautiful. And maybe... just maybe... we've got another little unicorn hiding in this room. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š For now, we're not making conclusions. We're just watching her shine. Let's make her shine! โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Still growing! She started showing some hunger signs....increasing her ppm to about 1100-1200 now. Her top half seems to be about a week ahead of her bottom. I think I'm going to have to learn how to harvest in stages this time. Her lower half is just soooo far away from the light. She slowed down to only growing a half inch a day now....then....She FINALLY stopped growing (i think) Topped out at 44"! At least I hope, I have no more room LOL. I had the light as high as I could get it...then I took it off the hooks and tied it to the top tent bars. and got it a bit higher LOL She's only 2 to 3 inches away from the light now so fingers crossed she stopped growing. I got my first smell off of her this week too! Straight ORANGES, loved it! 6/19 - 39.2"tall 6/20 - 41" 6/21 - 42" 6/22 - 42.5" 6/23 - 43" 6/24 - 43.5" 6/25 - 44" 6/26 - 44"

She's over doubled her height this week!!!!!!!!!! Looks like she's going great! An educated guess says she is just about to enter flowering in the coming week.

Week 14 - August 13 Back from holidays. One week without carrying plants. All is Ok โœ… the Blumat irrigation system worked perfectly, Aphids are totally eradicated: the Garlic mixture is a miracle. ๐Ÿ›I found 5 caterpillars on 2 plants: it makes lot of damage on a Bubble Gum I didnโ€™t mention in the diary, but the other are safely. caterpillars are the Enemy Nยฐ1 at this point: must check everyday. I found 5 caterpillars on 2 plants: it makes lot of damage on a Bubble Gum I didnโ€™t mention in the diary, but the other are safely. caterpillars are the Enemy Nยฐ1 at this point: must check everyday. Presence of leafminer flies but nothing important. -Royal Moby, seriously injured by sunburn and aphids aggression: recovering good, amazing stretch (sativa dominant) 140cm high , new branches are healthy. Flowering stage not engaged. -GMOxZombie Kush, was pretty shocked by aphids and sunburn too but problems are resolved: the plant is not too bad, starting a pre flowering period. 115cm -Flash Back #2 start flowering. Perfectly healthy, no pests, diseases or deficiency. Gook stretch last weeks, lot of ramifications and booming sites.130cm -Brake Pad Breath is the most advanced with a flowering stage engaged since 2 weeks. Super heathy, efficient bushy structure with lot of branches: my Favorite! ๐ŸŒžDaylight 14h15 - 7h05 / 21h11 Around 26 to 32ยฐC this week, hot night, sunny day, little bit of humidity. ๐Ÿ’ฆWatering 1,5L / 3 days ๐Ÿ’ชNutrients: Master Grower Floraison by Hydropassion

Sorry I havnt updated this diary in a couple weeks. I recently had a son and have been so busy. Anyways, this girl has really taken off. When I open my grow room it makes my whole house stink. Right now it's a very sweet skunky scent. She has filled out greatly and for a cbd strain I'm very excited about her resin production. Lately she has been getting a lot of water, slf100, em1, urb, fpj and a little bit of herculean harvest to supplement phosphorus. I havnt made any teas just in case, I didn't want to mess anything up late into flower. Make sure to follow me on Instagram to see more updates.

These girls are growing fast! They grew 8 inches this week, and the light got turned up to 6. While applying LST, I broke the two top branches of one of the smaller plants. I fixed it with masking tape.

Good week. Change light hours in 20/4. The girls seems very strong
