One gal hermed :( Guessing as a result of the crushed tubing a few weeks back + defoliation. However, there has been some other wonkiness this grow such as no auxiliary buds on one, and 15-point leaves on another! So perhaps this is just a weaker strain not suited for training?🤷‍♂️ Checked all the other plants and no pollen sacks just yet - fingers crossed! (I sprayed down the whole tent with water as a just-in-case measure) Last big defoliation this grow! ~~~~~~~~~~ Aside from that, everything's looking good. Smaller gals are stretching considerably, two big gals have slowed down to a crawl. The tall gals are about 12'' from lamp, the others 15" - if things don't slow down I may have to consider some HST (nooooot my preference, all things considered - I'll end up with seeds, guaranteed). Or, if I don't see any significant burn, maybe I let them go and just harvest the top portions early? We'll see! More and more hairs every day, buds are getting bigger! ~~~~~~~~~~ OK! - Its the strain! Has to be. Woke up this morning and one of the big gals had fully open pollen-sacks :(((( Picked off every one I could find with tweezers This gal did not have crushed tubing issues, and everything tracked fine. This leads me to believe that these plants just aren't meant for stress training. This day and age - the breeder will usually give you info on the subject - I can't find this online ANYwhere. I know who the breeder is - (big big name-sticker was on the bag) so this comes as quite a surprise to me...but at the same time - you can't find them on the website. Feels like it was given up on, and I snagged some of them on sale, from a distributor who had some left? Best guess. (gal starting putting out foxtails a cpl weeks later - 10'' from lamp) ~~~~~~~~~~ Thought maybe the three smaller gals could use a trellis - unfortunately I did not train them well enough - they are a little too cramped/bushy. I will have to use the Bamboo support system from here on and the trellis would clip bud-sights. So worse case, I'll use zip ties / rope to keep them supported. If its anything like my first grow - the mainline/manafold will do most the work anyhow.

Wow, she did turn out to be the silverback we aimed for. Look at that frosting. The strange and wonderful growth has made it look like something primeval. She is taken out of the grow room for a couple of days of darkness and tomorrow she will be harvested. Have been giving just freshwater for 1.5 to 2 weeks now. Will keep you posted with results in the coming weeks and the harvest video and photo's tomorrow. Thank you for checking in again! We could not have done this without our trusty SP 3000, check www.mars-hydro for deals on them!

Week 6 / On the way to week 6 , the majority of trichomes are clear/transparent, the buds are well developed but not finished yet. We will start gradually reducing fertilizers from now toward week 8–9. 12/12 switches : 12/06/2026 Back: Frosted Grape Front left: Purple Cookie Front right: Stick Berry Watering remains moderate: ~600 mL for the larger plants and ~300 mL for the smaller ones, with 1 L being the maximum applied so far.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 🦄✨ The Foxtailing Little Freak Keeps Doing Her Thing 🦄🌸🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... Guess what? 😂 She's still doing her thing. And honestly... that's exactly what I want to be able to say. She's evolving. She's developing. She's building. She's continuing to show us her personality. And we're providing. That's pretty much the whole story right now. 😂🦄🌿 I know... I know... We said almost exactly the same thing last week. 😂 And probably the week before. But here's the funny thing about this stage of the grow: If we're repeating ourselves because nothing needs fixing... THAT'S A GOOD THING. 😂💚 Because at this point, when something suddenly gives us a reason to do something... it's usually because something needs attention. And I would much rather be standing in front of this beautiful girl saying: "Yep. Everything looks good." than: "Oh shit... what happened?" 😂😂😂 So thank God... there's not much to do. We maintain. We observe. We provide. We photograph. We admire. And we let this beautiful little foxtailing freak continue writing her own story. 🦄🌸💚 So this week... the spotlight belongs to Frosted Guava Pheno A once again. Let's make this girl shine. ──────────────────────── 🦄 WEEK 13 – THE UNICORN KEEPS MOVING Frosted Guava Pheno A continues doing exactly what she wants. And honestly? I wouldn't want it any other way. She's still developing. Still evolving. Still building. Still becoming more substantial. Still giving us those beautiful, unusual flowering structures that earned her the little unicorn nickname in the first place. 🦄🌸 She's not suddenly changing into another plant. She's simply becoming more of herself. And I really like that. Every week we're seeing another little step in the same direction. More development. More flower. More structure. More density. More of that unmistakable Frosted Guava personality. And I'm standing there thinking: "Yep... there she is." 😂🦄 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL DOING THE TALKING At this point, the flowers really are the main characters. The plant has already done most of the major structural work. The framework is there. The branches are there. The flowering sites are there. And now... the flowers are taking over the story. 🌸🌸🌸 They're continuing to develop. They're continuing to stack. They're continuing to gain presence. And some of those structures are becoming increasingly interesting because of the way they're forming. This girl doesn't seem particularly interested in doing things conventionally. 😂 And I love that about her. She's a little weird. She's a little wild. She's a little different. She's a beautiful foxtailing freak. And that's part of her charm. 🦄🔥🌿 ──────────────────────── 🦄 BEAUTIFUL FOXTailing FREAK Let's talk about it. Because at this point... there's no hiding it. 😂 She's foxtailing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🦄🌸 Now, some growers will look at foxtailing and immediately think: "Something is wrong." And sometimes there can certainly be reasons for unusual flower development that deserve attention. But with this girl... this has become part of her expression. It's part of what makes her Frosted Guava Pheno A. She's got these unusual, elongated little flowering structures that keep developing and creating more layers of flower. And visually? I think they're fantastic. 😂🦄🌸 She's a freak. A beautiful freak. And I'm absolutely okay with that. ──────────────────────── 🌸 MORE FOXTails, MORE CHARACTER The more she develops... the more obvious that characteristic becomes. And honestly? It makes photographing her even more interesting. Because you don't just have one uniform flower structure. You have these little extensions. These unusual shapes. These little towers and layers. And every one seems to have its own personality. It's almost like she's refusing to make the same flower twice. 😂 "One cola?" "No thanks." "Normal structure?" "Absolutely not." "Let's make it weird." 😂🦄🌸 That's Frosted Guava Pheno A. And I wouldn't change that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 AND SHE'S STILL GROWING The important thing is that she's not simply sitting there looking pretty. She's still developing. She's still moving. She's still evolving. And that's really what we're watching now. Not some dramatic transformation. Not some sudden change. Just continued progress. Week after week. Little by little. Flower by flower. Structure by structure. And honestly... that's enough. 🌿💚 Sometimes we get so focused on wanting something dramatic to happen that we forget how beautiful normal progress can be. A healthy plant continuing to develop is already a pretty fucking good result. 😂🌸 So I'll take it. ──────────────────────── 👀 THE GROWER'S JOB RIGHT NOW: DON'T SCREW IT UP 😂 I think that's probably the simplest way to describe my role right now. Don't screw it up. 😂🌿 The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The room is running. The lighting is established. The plants are developing. So now? Maintenance. Observation. Support. And responding when something actually needs a response. That's it. And honestly... I'm perfectly happy with that. Because at this stage, I don't want to invent work just so I can say I did something. Sometimes the best grow report is: "Nothing happened." 😂 Because nothing happened... and everything stayed good. That's a win. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK GOD WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO Seriously. 😂 At this stage, when something suddenly tells you: "Hey, you need to do something." It's usually not because the plant is having a fantastic day. 😂 So when I walk into the room and see Frosted Guava happily doing her thing... I don't need a project. I don't need another intervention. I don't need to invent some new mission. I just look at her and think: "Good." 😂💚 Keep doing that. I'll keep doing this. And we'll meet somewhere in the middle. That's the relationship right now. She grows. I provide. She asks. I respond. She shines. I take photographs. 😂📸 Beautifully simple. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – SAME UNICORN And of course... we continue with the same philosophy that has been at the heart of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same lighting ecosystem. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at this girl. 🦄🌿 She's doing something completely her own. That's the part I never get tired of. The room gives all these plants a shared stage. But genetics decide what happens on that stage. Some plants stretch. Some stay compact. Some build massive flowers. Some build unusual structures. Some move quickly. Some move slowly. Some become incredibly frosty. And this girl? She decided: "Let's make some beautiful fucking foxtails." 😂🦄🌸 Okay, girl. You win. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING The expanded Future of Grow lighting setup remains part of the room. Those additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us considerably more lighting capability, and we're continuing to use that capability in a controlled way rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava continues to receive those photons just like everyone else. What she does with them... that's her business. 😂🦄☀️ Apparently her business is: BUILD FLOWERS. MORE FLOWERS. AND THEN MAKE THEM WEIRD. 😂🌸🌸🌸 I'm okay with that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 MORE CAPABILITY – LESS INTERFERENCE That's something I really appreciate about this stage. The room has the capability. The plants have the environment. And now we don't need to constantly interfere. We can simply watch. The lighting is doing its job. The environment is doing its job. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is doing its job. And the genetics are doing their job. That's the beauty of a properly established run. You don't need to touch everything just because you can. Sometimes... you just let the system run. And Frosted Guava is showing us that she's perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – LETTING THE RUN PROGRESS The nutritional programme continues its gradual transition as the room moves further through the flowering cycle. We're not trying to force anything. We're not trying to reinvent the nutrition every week. We're simply allowing the plants to progress through the stage they're already in and providing what they need. For Frosted Guava, that means consistency. Observation. And adjustment only when actually necessary. Because again... if nothing needs changing... that's a beautiful thing. 😂🌿 The goal isn't to constantly do something. The goal is to keep the plant happy while she does the growing. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same overall approach. And one very different plant expression. 🦄🌿💚 That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA HAS A LOT TO WORK WITH I really enjoy photographing this girl. Because she's one of those plants where the closer you look... the more you find. From a distance: "Beautiful plant." Closer: "Beautiful flowers." Closer still: "Oh shit..." 😂📸🦄 There's the foxtailing. There's the frost. There's the pistils. There's the texture. There's the unusual flower development. There's the little details that make her completely recognizable. And this is exactly why I love documenting these plants every week. You don't just get the final image. You get the evolution. ──────────────────────── 🦄 SHE'S STILL THE LITTLE UNICORN I think the nickname has officially stuck. 😂 Little Unicorn. Not because she's little. Not because she's delicate. But because there's something different about the way she expresses herself. She's unusual. She's interesting. She's beautiful. And she's doing things her own way. 🦄🌸 The more we follow her... the more appropriate the name becomes. And honestly? I'm very curious to see what she looks like when she finally decides she's finished. Because she's certainly not done showing us her personality yet. ──────────────────────── 🍇 FOXTails TODAY – TRIMMING LATER And yes... I'm already thinking ahead. 😂✂️ Eventually, all of this beautiful foxtailing will become part of the harvest story. And when that time comes, we'll deal with the trimming. Foxtailing can make trimming a little more interesting because of those irregular structures. But that's a future problem. 😂 Right now? She's still growing. Still developing. Still doing her thing. And I'm not going to start worrying about the scissors while the plant is still writing the flowering chapter. When the time comes... we'll deal with it. And as always, nothing needs to be wasted. The parts that don't end up as beautifully manicured flower can still have their own future uses. But that's harvest talk. And we're not there yet. Right now... we grow. 🦄🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 😂 FUTURE DOGDOCTOR'S PROBLEM I think that's becoming a theme in this grow. 😂 "Future DogDoctor can deal with that." Harvest? Future DogDoctor. Trimming? Future DogDoctor. Drying? Future DogDoctor. Curing? Definitely Future DogDoctor. 😂😂😂 Present DogDoctor? He's busy taking photographs of a beautiful foxtailing unicorn. 📸🦄 Priorities. ──────────────────────── 🌸 NOTHING TO DO IS SOMETIMES EVERYTHING TO DO I know this sounds contradictory... but it's something I've learned throughout this adventure. Sometimes keeping your hands off the plant is actually an important part of the job. You observe. You inspect. You maintain. You keep things consistent. And if everything is working... you don't manufacture a problem. That's where we're at with Frosted Guava. She's doing well. She's developing. She's flowering. She's showing her character. So I'm happy to simply let her continue. No unnecessary interference. No unnecessary drama. Just: "Keep going, girl." 😂💚🦄 ──────────────────────── 🔥 SHE'S STILL MOVING And that's the important part. She's not stuck. She's not standing still. She's still evolving. She's still developing. She's still gaining presence. She's still producing those unusual flowering structures. And she's still making me curious. That's what I want. Curiosity. Because I don't know exactly what she'll look like when she's finished. And I don't need to. That's part of the fun. The plant gets to surprise us. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this stage, I'm watching: 🌸 Continued flower development. 🦄 The progression of her foxtailing structures. ❄️ Continued resin development. 🌿 Overall plant maturity. 💚 The beautiful green colour and how it evolves. 📸 The weekly photographic progression. 👀 And simply how much more this little unicorn wants to show us. That's it. No grand plans. No unnecessary missions. Just observation. And appreciation. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? Honestly? We'll see. 😂 That's the fun part. She might keep building. She might keep foxtailing. She might slow down. She might surprise us again. And whatever happens... we'll document it. That's the whole point. I'm not going to predict the ending. I'm not going to force a timeline. I'm not going to decide her story for her. She's still writing it. And right now... it's a beautiful story. 🦄🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – LET THE UNICORN DO HER THING Week 13. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. 🦄🌿🌸 And honestly... what a beautiful little freak. 😂❤️ She's still evolving. Still developing. Still stacking. Still showing us those unusual foxtailing flowers. Still getting more interesting. And we're still doing... not much. 😂 And that's exactly how I like it. Because when a plant reaches this stage and you don't have a list of problems to solve... that's a fantastic thing. We're simply maintaining. We're watching. We're providing. We're supporting. And we're letting her shine. She doesn't need me to tell her what to do. She already knows. She doesn't need me constantly changing things. She already has her rhythm. She doesn't need me forcing the ending. She's still writing it. So... let her. 🦄🌸💚 Let the little unicorn keep moving. Let the flowers keep developing. Let the foxtails keep doing their weird and wonderful thing. Let the frost keep shining. Let the plant keep surprising us. And when the time eventually comes... we'll deal with the next chapter. But for now? I'm happy. She's happy. The room is happy. And nobody is asking for unnecessary work. 😂😂😂 That's a pretty fucking good week. So let's give Frosted Guava Pheno A the spotlight she deserves. Let's make her shine. Let's appreciate the beautiful foxtailing freak that she is. Let's enjoy every flower. Every little structure. Every sparkle. Every strange little extension. Every beautiful detail. Because this girl is giving us one hell of a show. 🦄🌸✨🔥 Keep doing your thing, little unicorn. I'll keep providing. You keep growing. And we'll see where this beautiful journey takes us. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this beautiful little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Frosted Guava? You're still doing exactly what you want. 😂🦄 You're evolving. You're developing. You're stacking. You're foxtailing. You're shining. And I'm simply here... providing what you ask for, watching what you do, and trying not to get in your way. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when nothing needs to be done... we celebrate that nothing needs to be done. 😂🌿 So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep enjoying the show. And let's let this beautiful foxtailing unicorn continue writing her own story. 🦄🌸💚✨ The scissors can wait. Future DogDoctor can worry about trimming. 😂✂️ For now... we grow. We observe. We maintain. And we let her shine. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the unicorn keeps foxtailing, and the grower is happily doing absolutely nothing... because absolutely nothing needs doing. 😂🦄🌿🌸 Let her shine. 💚

I'm lucky to have uploaded anything. I'll finish later. Hurricane is coming The date is 9/14 and i was FINALLY able to start a new week. I had to use the option to "take a photo" with my camera as opposed to uploading the pictures I have. I guess in the future I'll have to prepare pictures ahead of time. Or like stage them lol. Took the top half of the biggest 10th planet. It was done. The others I took the tops on have the bottoms already coming through the trellis nets with huge swollen buds. They were tiny before. I made the right choice. If need be I'll move plants into my garage. Heavy equipment fit in there. Can't move the 8ft "big cheese" in the 50 thats even wider than it is tall but I can move the ones I care about. I spent all day wet trimming those tops and taking down the dry stuff bucking and jarring buds and hanging up fresh stuff. One purple punch plant I just keep cutting bud rot off. I took a tester and it's not where i want it yet. It's bigger than the others but seems further behind in flower with less trichs? Hurricane has been downgraded to tropical storm and 90mph winds down to 50 which is manageable. I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so this worked out amazing. Blue cheese just isn't ready yet. I mean it's huge but it's not done. It doesn't rot either. Knock on wood. The buds aren't as compact as these heavy indicas but "look" larger. Tomorrow I'll go back over (before the storm) and if that purple punch keeps just rotting I'm gonna chop it and maybe put it in with shit I'm gonna blast. As long as this Hurricane doesn't totally fuck me I'm gonna have my best year ever. I hope it misses. To everyone dealing with Hurricane Lee you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 9/15 Woke up sick as fuck. Hurricane is tonight. I've got some decisions to make. I need to chop one purple punch as it just keeps rotting more. Blueberry cheese is only a 7-8 week flower and says it's done end of September. I've been flowering WAAAAY longer and the buds are HUUUUGE. I need to look at it with the trich scope. I'm not worried about rot with those girls just heavy wet buds and branch3s snapping. The little purple punch and MAYBE one of the blue cheeses will go in the garage just to be safe. I think it's going to miss us. Or at least be downgraded and be a normal atorm like the ines ive already been through. Pretty sure the little purple punch is done anyway. The buds are rock hard. I could probably throw one through the window. It's been cold the last few days. More sun today before the hurricane. Now the question is do i want to get 3lbs of wet flower ready and transported the extractor or do I away until after the hurricane? I guess I'll make that determination after I go back and look things over. I'll remember to take pictures this time. It's the only way they will upload. Oh and I need better storage. I can't use 10 million jars. I'm getting some of the 5 gallon buckets that turn the bucket into a storage container. UPDATE: Storm has been downgraded. Apparently the rain will only be like an inch. I worked my nuts off today. That purple punch plant had way more rot. I harvested the tops off the purple punch that was rotting. Had to throw away a bunch but it wouldn't have made it through this storm. The purple punch in the ten has rock hard nugs. This morning I was checking it out and pulling buds away from the stalk on the huge colas and put of nowhere here comes a GIANT bumblebee stumbling out. I have no idea how he got that deep. I tried to help him. I got him on a different leaf (buds are super sticky) bur his leg was cockeyed and he eventually fell. I harvested most of the other 10th planet's too. I took ONE blue cheese bud. This strain doesn't seem to rot and the plants only need a couple weeks to be ideal. The MAY be ideal now and I'm just stupid. They are very large and only have a 7-8 week flower time that says outdoor they will finish be end of September. These are half my crop. I still nay bring in the 10 (purple punch) and o e of the blueberry cheese but I'm tired as fuck. If we just get an inch of rain I think tje plants will be fine. I staked everything that isn't vertically trellises. I still don't like the rain. An inchbof rain on buds bigger than a baseball bat isn't good. 9/16 Spent yesterday harvesting the tips of a purple punch and adding supports for the hurricane. Found a shit ton of budrot. Three separate times I separated it and found the bud worm. All tiny. A green one came out kind of aggressively at me. Anything that was close to any rot got discarded. These were some HUGE compact flowers. Had to add to supports this morning and it's still raining as of 1pm. The plants were going right sideways (or trying). It's 30mph sustained with 50mph gusts. We are pretty much over it though and as of a few hours ago I had no breakages (knock on wood) so I think in doing pretty good. Trichs on blue cheese looks great and tge buds are huge but the calyxs haven't changed from white. I took one blue cheese cola before the storm just in case something happened. It's an 7-8 week flowering strain and says it will be ready end of September. I couldve taken it but it looks like it needs a little more time and im gonna do my best to give it to her. The buds are big and frosty though. That strain is going to be a good producer. If it's made it through the weather last night then it can withstand the remnants. UPDATE: HOLY OL FUCK. RAIN STARTED COMING DOWN TODAY ALONG WITH THE 50MPH SUSTAINED WINDS. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DIE DOWN AFTER TONIGHT AND WE'LL HAVE GOOD WEATHER. WENT OVER TO FIND MY 30 GAL TUB TIPPED OVER. LUCKILY A STRING SUPPORT CAUGHT IT AND IT FELL INTO THE 2X4 SO IT WAS HELD UP ALTHOUGH THE CONTAINER WAS BALANCING ON ITS EDGE. MY BLUE CHEESE IN THE BACK WAS RIGHT SIDEWAYS. THE RAIN LOOSENED THE MEDIUM WHICH MADE THE BAMBIO SUPPORTS ALL BUT USELESS. LUCKILY THESE ARE STRONG PLANTS. I RAN STRING FROM THE BAMBOO TO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS. I ALSO HAD T9 TIE UP WHAT WASNT TIED. I ADDED THREE HORIZONTAL STRINGS IN THE BACK TO HOLD SOME IF THE WEIGHT AND HELP WITH THE WIND. THE BLUE CHEESE IN FRONT OF THE TARP HAD SUPPERED THE SAME FATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO "SUPPORT THE SUPPORTS" AND "TIE UPANY LOOSE ENDS. THE BIG CHEESE JUST CANT GO ANYWHERE. ONLY PROBLEM IS THE TOP TWP FEET AND IM NOT GETTING ON A WET LADDER IN A HURRICANE WITH WIND AND RAIN LIKE THIS. GLAD I TOOK A NICE COLA from the blue cheese just on case anything happens. Honestly though they've been through the worst. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice. I hope I made the right decision. 9/17 Hurricane has passed and its sunny with blue skies. Plants were dry when I went over this morning. Couldn't upload pictures as the internet is out and I still can't upload pictures the normal way. It's too bad I've got some good ones. I lost one branch high up on the big bluecheese and found a little bit more rot on that purple punch I took the tops off. It looks like we are going to have great finishing weather! This is by far the best cannabis I've grown. I tied up EVERY branch yesterday and added a ton more supports. Last evening when we were getting the 2-4in of rain i got that "feeling". My intuition has been on point. I got there and everything without a vertical trellis was hanging almost sideways. The garden stakes I was using for supports just bent over with the rain and the 50mph wind gusts and the 30mph sustained wind. I had to "support the supports"by anchoring them to the structure of the cage itself. If I hadn't done this and propped them back up the would've been uprooted. Things couldn't loon better than they do right now. I'm wicked lucky. I'll try to take some pictures and upload them later today. UPDATE: SUPER HOT DAY. NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY BLUE CHEESE WAS STARTING TO ROT AND IT WAS DAMN CLOSE TO DONE. PLUS ITS GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW. I WAS PLANNING ON THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW BUT I GOT MOST OF HER DOWN AND HUNG. I COULD'VE TAKEN A PURPLE PUNCH BUT I NEED TO MAKE SOME ROOM. PLUS THEY COULD GO A "LITTLE BIT LONGER" BUT THEY ARE ROCK HARD NUGS THAT LOOK DONE. HONESTLY IF I HAD THE MAN POWER ONE OF THE PURPLE PUNCHES WOULD'VE COME DOWN TODAY. THOSE TWO ARE EASY TO MOVE THOUGH SO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING ILL PUT THEM INSIDE. THE OTHERS CAN MANAGE WITH NO SIGNS OF ROT. IM WORKING AS FAST AS I CAN BUT I NEED TO TAKE THINGS DOWN IN STAGES. TOO MUCH WORK NOT ENOUGH TIME. AT LEAST I GOT SOME STRAINS THAT HAD DIFFERENT FINISHING TIMES. LUCKILY THOSE 10TH PLANETS REVEGGED AND WENT TO FLOWER EARLY. I CANT BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF FLOWER IM SEEING THIS EARLY. SAME WITH THE PURPLE PUNCH. ONE PLANT IS FURTHER BEHIND THAN THE OTHERS AND IT HAS MUCH LARGER BUDS. THE PURPLE PUNCH BUDS ARE HARD AS A ROCK. I GUARANTEE I COULD PITCH ONE OF THOSE THROUGH A WINDOW AND I THROW LIKE A GIRL. 9/18 I should be starting a new week but I might just keep going on this one since i cant add pictures or video. All I can do is take pictures "through the site" if I have internet and remember. It's a pain to have to stop working and have to immediately upload things. Purple punch could be taken now. Im going to let it ride until I run into problems. The blueberry cheese is huge. I'm planning to make concentrated with a lot of it. 9/19 I'm going to have to switch to another site next grow. I can't upload pictures in any way shape or form anymore. Say nothing about videos. I'm gonna finish on here and do a detailed harvest report and smoke report. If I can't get the video uploaded I'll do it somewhere else. Anyway I have a bunch of tenth planet I've been trimming and jarring. After the hurricane we got another storm with 2-4 in of rain. I'm one of the only people i know that's "minimally effected". I lost a branch but it was still hanging so i grabbed it so i really lost nothing. I tried to visually inspect every bud this morning. Found some rot but most places I found it a worm came out. That's good. At least it's not the weather that's causing some rot. Not much. Maybe a handful and it was just starting but I cut everything away from the starting rot. I specifically picked early flowering strains and am certainly glad I did. A few more days of sun and when what's drying is done I'll do a finally check if the trichs andvthen it's fucking timber. This has been one if the WORST seasons for growing in Maine yet somehow I've pulled in one of the best harvests I ever had. Both quality and quantity. 9/20 I definitely need to start a new week but I need to be IN the garden to do it as that's the only way I can take a picture. I've sampled early versions of all my strains and I am incredible pleased. I still am in trim jail with a full room but still have well over half still outside. Plant wise more if i went by weight. It's weird that the plant with the shortest flowering time is seeming to take the longest to totally mature. I COULD take it as bud rot has been prevalent and many people have lost there whole crop. I did have to take one of the cheeses. We are supposed to be getting a few nice days of sun after all that rain. I'm at least giving them that. I have two phenomes of purple punch that could be taken as well. All milky with some amber. One other phenome had much larger buds and I was losing buds to budrot so I took the tops and allowed the bottom to mature. That method had worked well for me so far. Then I get buds that are more well rounded and mature. I went up and checked whats drying. The rest of the 10th planet is ready to be jarred. I've been making progress getting it processed and put away. I need the room so I can bring more in. Found ONE bud that started to rot whete I'm drying so I chucked it. I carefully checked everything hanging and the plants outside for any indications of botrytis. I found a few spots outside 2 or 3 and removed them. I have two plants that I think I'm just going to send to the lab for extracts. I'll add some smaller flower to it. I'll update more at some point. I'll try to get pictures up but it's such a pain in the ass to upload it immediately when I've got all this work to do myself. Come on grow diaries! OH AND I HEAR THAT SOME LOCALS HAVE FOUND MY DIARY. IF SO THEN YOU KNOW WHO I AM. IF YOU DONT ASK AROUND. IM STAYIMG IN THAT CAMPER OUT BACK OF MY GROW EVERY NIGHT AND THOSE PLANTS ARE NEVER LEFT UNSUPERVISED. THERE ARE MANY CAMERAS BUT THATS JUST SO WE'LL HAVE EVIDENCE OR IF IM TAKING A SHIT AND SOMEONE SHOWS UP ILL KNOW. YOU KNOW THERE'S THREE WAYS OUT. THE GROWERS UNION HERE HAS IT SET UP THAT IF ANY OF US HIT OUR "ALARM" BUTTON WE ALL GET IT AND ALL THOSE WAYS OUT GET SHUT DOWN. ITS GREAT TO HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS. THERE'S NO PROBLEM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY DIARY AND SEE HOW IVE DONE BUT IF SOMEONE IS EXPECTING ON "SUCCESSFULLY" ROBBING ME THEY SHOULD PROBABLY PICK AN EASIER TARGET. ALSO ITS A FELONY TO STEAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA. 9/21 Continueing with the great weather. In that vein I'm letting the girls ride. Blue cheese I'd an end of September strain anyway. It's huge. I'll take some pictures before it comes down if it will upload and I'll have to do it the hard way. My drying spot is large and full. I'm in trim jail and the majority is still in the ground. I'm giving them a few more weeks of good weather. I'm inspecting multiple times a day for rot. Things are going good. Don't know how I'll do harvest reports without pictures lol. UPDATE: HARVESTED A BLUE CHEESE TONIGHT AND IM TIRED AS HELL. CAMPER MIGHT NOT BE BACK TONIGHT BUT IF NOT I'LL BE IN THE GAME ROOM ON WATCH. IN TRIM JAIL. TOOK DOWN EVERYTHING BUT IT GOT IMMEDIATELY REPLACED. I REALLY NEEF SOME HELP. I CANT BELIEVE I CANT UPLOAD PICTURES. IM HOPING I CAN AT LEAST DO MY GROW AND SMOKE REPORTS. IF NOT ILL DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE 9/22 I got the two purple punches in the back down AND the BIG cheese hanging. That thing took up most of the room. I'm still tired. I've got two full Plants that are totally ready and I'm planning on taking them today and bringing right to the lab for extracts. 3 to 5 lbs will get blasted. I've got a lot of work ahead of me but I can get it done. I'm plugging away and making significant progress. I'm hoping pictures and videos will be a thing again. Everyone has said this was the WORST growing season (which it did suck) but I've had my best harvest in over a decade both quality and quantity. This has been my best year. I'll update what I got done. 9/25 I've been in trim jail and working my nuts off. I harvested my 10th planet's in stages three different times. Still have two bottom plants of blueberry cheese and two FULL plants that I was planning to go straight to extracts. Thing is is that one of them looks super greasy. It's always the ones you least expect that turn out the best. I've taken pictures/videos and am very proud of myself this year. However I can't finish my harvest report on here without leaving pictures!! If it doesn't rectify soon I may just do a YouTube video on the harvest and strain review. Or find a different site. This was a horrible year for most but it was one of my best ever. Thanks everyone for stopping by. I'll update what I do with the final two full plants and I'll try to complete harvest reports and smoke reports. It really sucks that I can't upload pictures. 10/1 Everything's in. Bags are ready for extracts and both quantity and quality are tge best I've done. BUT @GROWDIARIES I CAN'T UPLOAD MY PICTURES SO I CANT DO A SMOKE REVIEW! ILL TRY ONE MORE TIME TO USE THE "CAMERA" FUNCTION TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT THAT WASNT WORKING EITHER. WHAT A DISSAPPOINTING END TO THE SEASON

Looking pretty!

Day 72 (2020-07-20): Continuing flush of CBD Crack. G14 will start next watering most likely. Day 75 (2020-07-23): Started flush for G14. Day 77 (2020-07-25): Continuing flush for both plants. Checking trichomes daily. G14 looks right on schedule. Starting to think I might have started the CBD a week early (especially after getting a macro lens for my phone), but moving forward.

The clone is in 1L pot and the godfather og in 3L pot Just experiment in small aquarium 🤭 Also its first indoor grow for me. Any helps/ good tips?

Did the third resv change, the recharge helped bring back the root ball. So far so good, will keep her in veg till my grow room is complete. She do not need much nutes, little goes a long way.

Los Riegos con abono son alternados, ay semanas que riego 4 días y otras de 3 días, Los riegos con bnzym y prosilicate los realizo a parte del resto de abonos, en esos días que alterno. The irrigations with fertilizer are alternating, ay weeks that I irrigate 4 days and others of 3 days, the irrigations with bnzym and prosilicate I realize them to part of the rest of installments, in those days that alternate.

Week 6 of 12/1

Die letzten Tage für die Sour Jealousy von FastBuds.. Nächsten Mittwoch setze ich noch 2 Tage FlashClean von Terra Aquatica hinzu. Bis dahin nur Final Part. Ich habe nun normales Leitungswasser genommen damit der Ph Wert nicht so nach unten fährt und dieser stabil bleibt. Der EC Wert ist von 1 Tag von von 2.5 auf 6.0 gestiegen, die Pflanze hatte heute auf jeden Fall genug Nahrung.. Ph Wert fällt in wenigen Stunden um fast 1%. Hab das Wasser heute gleich getauscht. Wird auf jeden Fall ein guter Ertrag, jetzt kann nichts mehr schief gehen denn die Ernte wandert sofort in den Cannatrol Cool

So far there has been a learning curve.. I am learning both bloom and veg light should be on and I DEFINITELY learned about "stretching". I added more potting soil and straightened them gently so that they can be supported. I will monitor the girls through the week to see what effects changing the light to both bloom and veg have. Fingers crossed! Will update later in the week. Update 10.24.21 Corrected the stretching/bending issue and the girls seem to be growing pretty quickly now 😎😁

week 4 veg maybe two more weeks

Week 4 update! 🌱 Week 3 is done, and the ladies are now three weeks into their flowering phase. So far, everything has gone really well. However, one bud and the plants in the front showed slight signs of potassium overfertilization, which likely caused a calcium uptake issue and led to minor necrosis. No worries, though – today I completely flushed the entire system and replaced it with a fresh solution. With this reset, everything should be back on track 💪💧. On top of that, I decided to bring out an old Cree& Osram LED lamp as a booster. This will provide the two smaller front plants with more light intensity so they can metabolize the higher nutrient levels more effectively 💡🌿. Everything is looking great so far! Stay tuned, follow along, and let’s see how this journey continues 🌺📸. Woche 4-Update! 🌱 Woche 3 ist geschafft, und die Ladies sind jetzt drei Wochen in der Blütephase. Bis jetzt lief alles super. Eine Bud und die Pflanzen vorne zeigten jedoch leichte Anzeichen von Kalium-Überdüngung, was wahrscheinlich zu einer Kalzium-Aufnahmehemmung geführt und leichte Nekrosen verursacht hat. Kein Grund zur Sorge – heute habe ich das komplette System gründlich durchgespült und die Lösung durch eine frische ersetzt. Mit diesem Reset sollte jetzt wieder alles reibungslos laufen 💪💧. Außerdem habe ich beschlossen, eine alte Cree& Osram LED-Lampe als Booster herauszuholen. Damit bekommen die beiden kleineren Pflanzen vorne eine stärkere Lichtintensität, damit sie die höheren Nährstoffwerte besser verstoffwechseln können 💡🌿. Es sieht alles richtig gut aus! Bleibt dran, folgt mir, und lasst uns schauen, wie sich die Reise weiterentwickelt 🌺📸.
