Day 36- ladies have come along way, never did I expect 2 autoflowers to fill up my entire tent but these ladies have. Huge stems, plenty of bud sites, I can not wait to see what these girls can produce, just going to keep chugging along, doing what ive been doing, will mist likely add one more flowering agent this week. Both girls starting to get some nugs filling up at the end of their stems.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2204 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Three of flower and these testers are finally in flower mode!🧐👍 Both testers are in flower and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls a top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3 weeks or so. I'll monitor them and decide on whether I'll give them another top dress or let them ride. I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #1 pheno being roughly a week ahead of the #2 is starting to flower nicely. The #2 pheno, while different behind her sister, is finally beginning to get her act together a is making flowers!🧐 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix and Granular Myco mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting only one more feed from here moving forward as they will take a little longer than the other testers in the run that are well into flower now. 1/25- Yesterday I didn't water but continued today with 0.75g for the #1, and 0.5g for the #2, of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. They're both looking really healthy and both into flower! I'm really looking forward to Week Four of flower where they should start to reveal how they're going to look after stretching!😍💚 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

I'm definetely happy. Everything is going well, acarians have destroyed bad bugs and babies are getting bigger every day, more and more. I keep bend all side branches and plants are getting used to the lst and they are spreading and covering pretty much every square avaiable. I hope to be capable to manage all the space avaiable. This is my first time doing lst and honestly, it's the real deal. No big stress, Plants are so bigger, at the same moment, I am comparing with my previous diary with the same strain. Changes are impressives. I'm increasing, little by little, nutes. For now leaves are looking healthy to me, nice green. When lights first turn on, new leaves are light green. After couple of hours they are turning darker. Waiting for white pistils, I'm expecting them in 4/5 days. Have a good day folks, I'll keep you updated ! Cheers

Jah Bless Loading...

Gelato #2 is so small 😂 but she's definitely happy tho'. Topped both ladies and did some LST. They should be ready for bloom soon.

Bien pues el domingo 15/05/22 hice defoliacion con 66 dias desde la germi. Hoy lunes por la noche, las pongo ya a 12/12 y que empiecen a florecer. Considero que estan robustas y fuertes para la etapa de flora. Me lie con stories y videos y se me paso hace fotos detelladas para aqui... lo siento, os dejo las stories y fotos de esta mañana Creo que vamos a ver buenas cosas aqui :D Son 10 Tropicanna cookies con 48 dias desde la germinacion y 5 MAC, 4 Bannana wafflez y 1 Apple friter con 67 dias desde la germi. Hoy lunes 16/05/22 por la noche las paso a 12/12 Todo de GBSTRAINS abonado con BOOM NUTRIENTS bajo los paneles LED de GBLIGHTING GB THE GREEN BRAND

📋 Comments Zoap by MSNL is a really good strain, very rapid growth early on in its life and continues at a nice rate right up to harvest. From my experience I'd say this was one of the easiest plants i have ever grown. 📋 Data Seed to havest=112 days. Veg time=40 days. Flower time=72 days. Wet weight=990g Dry weight=79g 📋 Smoke report Trimming this was a delight. I let her hang for 15 days before trimming. Nice easy plant to trim. I didn't have any real larf either, the trim is coated with trichomes so I'll do a hash run with it. The buds are pretty damn solid with plenty of sticky trichomes all over them, just like we want. I was getting a citrus smell when trimming. After 2 weeks curing in the terplock groove bags I had a sample (miles better then jars). 1st sample was using my pax plus. 2nd sample was a joint. I'm getting an earthy cherry taste with a sweet aftertaste. This high is great, I'd guess at 25%Thc or more. 📋Grow stats for GDG 22 #1 Lemon cherry gelato=104g #2 Zoap=79g Total=183g Lights on. 20hrs×7days=140hrs 18hrs×33days=594hrs 12hrs×78days=936hrs Total hours=1670hrs Light power=211.09Kw Rad power=415.73Kw Extractor=43.5Kw 4 gang=56.62Kw Top fan=27.82 Total electricity=754.76KW Electricity cost @£0.25/Kw=£188.69 Average light power a day=1.78Kw Average watt per hour=106w g/watt=(183÷106)=1.72g/w £/g=£1.03/g 📋Final word. Considering how cold it's been i have managed to get a decent VPD throughout the grow, I'd go as far to say the extra money spent on electricity was definitely worth it. I didn't run into any major problems and the Plagron nutes were excellent, I'm thinking these are going to be my goto from now on. I combined the trim from both plants to make a hash run and managed 14g of hash. That takes my total to 197g for the grow. Very happy. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

Folder 10 – Frosted Guava Auto B Week 4 | Vegetation – The Quiet Climber Welcome back to The 8×8 Adventure, a project where twelve unique cultivars are being grown side by side inside the same environment, allowing every genetic to express its own personality under identical conditions. Each plant is documented individually because no two phenotypes tell the same story. Even when they share the same genetics, subtle differences in structure, vigor and flowering behaviour make every diary unique. Frosted Guava Auto B is proving exactly that. Although she shares the tent with her sister, she has developed her own character. Slightly taller, equally healthy, and every bit as determined, she’s entering the next chapter of her life with confidence. Our 12/12-from-seed journey continues, and this week marks another exciting milestone as the first signs of flowering begin to appear. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 – A Compact Plant With Her Own Personality While Plant B has stretched just a little more than her sister, she remains a very compact autoflower compared to many of the other cultivars sharing this 8×8 room. Instead of investing her energy into vertical growth, she has focused on producing tight internodal spacing, sturdy branches and a surprisingly balanced structure. Looking around the room, it’s already clear that Frosted Guava is unlikely to become one of the tallest ladies of the garden—but height has never been the goal. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us with the biggest harvests. Her canopy is filling beautifully, each node producing healthy new growth that will soon become flowering sites. Every day she looks more organized, more symmetrical and more prepared for what comes next. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training, Natural Development Just like her sister, Plant B has only received gentle Low Stress Training throughout her early life. Rather than forcing the plant into shape, I’ve focused on carefully bending large fan leaves, tucking foliage away from developing shoots and allowing natural light penetration into the centre of the canopy. This subtle approach has encouraged multiple branches to grow evenly without creating unnecessary stress. The result is a plant that still looks completely natural while developing a much more open canopy. Sometimes patience is the best training technique. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Has Officially Begun This week brings one of my favourite moments of every grow. Tiny white pistils have started appearing throughout the upper nodes, confirming that Frosted Guava Auto B has officially entered the pre-flowering stage. One of the most fascinating aspects of this 12/12-from-seed experiment is watching these autoflowers transition into bloom without hesitation. Rather than waiting for a long vegetative period, they simply follow their own internal clock. Despite her compact size, she’s wasting no time. The foundation has been built, and now the real show is about to begin. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be watching closely to see whether she delivers a modest stretch or stays true to her compact structure while focusing her energy on dense flower production. Either way, she’s looking incredibly promising. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues to provide a stable environment for all twelve cultivars despite the warmer summer temperatures. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ? Substrate Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 26°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.1 • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • ☁️ CO₂: 639 ppm • 💧 Water Consumption: 1.1 litres per plant per day Even with daytime temperatures reaching 33°C, Plant B continues showing excellent colour, strong leaf posture and vigorous growth, demonstrating how well she’s adapting to the environment. ⸻ Feeding Schedule This week’s feeding remained simple and consistent, allowing the plant to continue building healthy vegetative growth before fully committing to flowering. Per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml • Power Roots — 1 ml • Pure Zym — 1 ml • Sugar Royal — 1 ml Adjusted using: • pH Plus — 0.03 ml • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml The Plagron feeding programme continues delivering exactly what these plants need at this stage—healthy roots, lush green foliage and vigorous, stress-free development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The entire 8×8 garden continues to thrive beneath the outstanding Future of Grow LED fixtures. Uniform light distribution across the canopy has helped every cultivar develop evenly, while allowing each phenotype to express its own natural growth pattern. It’s fascinating walking through the room and seeing twelve completely different personalities growing under exactly the same environmental conditions. Frosted Guava Auto B is a perfect example of how genetics shape the plant just as much as the environment. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead Week four closes with Plant B looking healthy, balanced and full of potential. She’s entering flower with strong branching, vibrant foliage and a structure that promises excellent light penetration throughout the canopy. While some cultivars in the room are already showing more vertical ambition, Frosted Guava B seems determined to stay compact and focus her energy where it matters most. The coming weeks will reveal whether this translates into dense, resin-packed flowers—but for now, she’s ticking every box. The journey is only getting started. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following The 8×8 Adventure. Sharing this project with growers from around the world is one of the most rewarding parts of the journey, and I truly appreciate every comment, question and piece of advice along the way. A special thank you to Zamnesia for providing these exciting Frosted Guava Auto genetics, to Plagron for the trusted substrates and nutrient line that continue supporting healthy, vigorous growth, and to Future of Grow LED for delivering exceptional lighting that allows every phenotype in this room to perform at its very best. Finally, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving this amazing community a place to learn, share experiences and celebrate our passion for growing together. See you all next week, when Frosted Guava Auto B takes another step into flowering. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Sadly, this week might be the end of this grow. We had a water pipe break. Flooding in the house. Releasing mold and allergens in the air that are making me have to leave the home. Made worse by floor dryers. Post cancer, my immune system is still weak. I’m bringing in an environmental inspector. I need to find out if the plants are affected. Or, if they would have ill effects on me. 11/28 - I’m going to keep going for at least the experience. I’m not quitting. We will have anything harvested checked. Or, I’ll just dispose of it. I haven’t decided. I can’t find a clear answer on safety issues. Let’s see what happens!

Accidentally "topped" her by hard LST... Way she goes. I top dressed this week with 50/50 Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4... 😊😊 Things seem to be looking great! Can't wait for flower to come on hard!

Hola amigo! 🤜💐🤛 Octava semana para las Green Crack F1 Automatic. Simplificando muchísimo el trabajo con la increíble controladora TrolMaster TentX 🤜💐🤛 🌄El clima se establece como una simulación de día real, con salida y puesta de sol más el pico de mediodía donde todas las lámparas se encienden llegando a temperaturas de 28-30 C⁰ y una baja humedad, no lo veo negativo para las plantas, el clima se siente bastante natural aquí adentro. Hice un nuevo artefacto para distribuir la humedad de manera homogénea en toda la carpa.🌅 _ FLORES GRUESAS Y PEGAJOSAS _ Plantas verdaderamente rápidas y con un aroma dulce afrutado y diésel . La línea de @xpertnutrients en el orden adecuado sigue siendo épica! Trabaja a la perfección. Ahora ellas beben cantidades increíbles, 1 litro al día para las dos plantas, intercalando dos riegos con nutrientes y uno de enzimas para no generar sobrecargas. Ph: 6.4 - 6.6 EC: 1000 PPM 100+/100- HR: 55% 10+10-. C⁰: 20 - 29 . !! 20 hs 2 x TS600 + 19 hs TS 1000 led max dim !! .

This started straight forward, follow PPM and don’t over feed..

|They are loooking so good!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGQ5Lx4-Quw Watch the video here!

Hola familia bueno contarles estoy en el día 72 todavía le queda alguna semana y la otra es la misma casa la misma semilla y le falta un poco más la más grande ahora sólo la estoy regando con agua con un pH de 6 a la otra todavía le he puesto nutrientes aver como sigue la semana que viene un saludo familia que tengan buena semana paz

Hello everyone, The peyote cookies are doing great they are topped multiple times and now it's a waiting game. They need to grow in hight, i will remove all internodes and new leaves in the coming weeks and keep topping them. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice week. Best regards, Growfather.

Week 8 started 5/22/2022 Ending week 7 strong. Last day was 5/21 -- I added some organic dry food *** from the local, PH'd water to 6.2 with some added Cal Mag Pro. Just going on instinct here, added some epsom salt on top and will water that in later. Water in the tray feeder thing (Auto Pot XL in manual mode) is 6.3 ish. Centered into the lights and measured with the LUX meter. As she starts vegging into the lights its gets stronger and stronger, from about 600 to about 1200+ (just a little less than full sun outside in my locale-- I measured). I am not sure exactly what this measurement means, I only use the sun as a reference. I have both lights on full blast. Still deciding if I can handle the heat of adding the 150W HPS, its HOT HOT HOT, but it makes the flowers huge. I am stopping the LST into week 8, nothing but clean water for a while into the veg, don't want to over feed. I am just doing regular maintenance, watching the grow, and I keep using Crop Control as a preventative measure, I don't care if I am wasting it-- not to be weird but it just smells like it will work LOL. Still tweaking air flow. Height at 9" is the table, there are some tips that are at 12".(I re-measured and changed this to more accurate #s) She has to grow to at least two feet up. I need to measure everything and may have to reposition my filter to accommodate the height. We'll see. I am cleaning up the grow area now, nothing left to do except clean and water. Auto Pot guys said my stuff is missing little rubber grommets from the factory, maybe I can fix the damn things and they will have auto water and we will see if that affects grow speed into flower. I am scared I am going to outgrow my tent this time. I wish I had an A/C Infinity 4x4, those look sick. Next day follow up: Measured: I have just enough room to pull this off. I will re-position filters and lights before switch to flower. I will have two charcoal filters and one A/C Infinity fan, with just the single Auto Pot XL, and it will be functioning since I found the parts to fix. I may get some custom aqua-ponics - bubble-ponics thing going in the tray I placed it in, I think with more oxygenated water and a higher level, more cooling and I may actually get more growth/flower -- we'll see, I am always scheming and I have parts! Still thinking it through as pre-flower time approaches soon. week 8 day 3 - minor surgery, f'd up a cola branch by super-cropping the shit out of it. Fixed, but lost time on that cola, added side light on that side to help fill in, just when I should be getting ready for pre-flower! oh well, that is part of the mainline manifold game. Gotta have grafting tape on hand and assess before it gets to be an unsolvable issue. check your plants and pay attention to what they say to you. ***Dry fert. stats: EB Stone vegetable fertilizer blended with humic acid and beneficial soil microbes including mycorrhizae. NPK: 4-5-3 Derived from: Blood Meal, Feather Meal, Bone Meal, Dried Chicken Manure, Bat Guano, Alfalfa Meal, Kelp Meal, and Potassium Sulfate.

This is the last week I opted for root maintenance that endured the previous hard work Maintain the functioning of beneficial microorganisms. #LivingSoil #Notill 🍑🍬🧀🍭

📖 Chroniques de l'Oasis : La Marque Blanche du Sahara ​👑 Chapitre 4 : L'incroyable déployé de la sultane ​Date : 19 Mars 2026 Âge de la Sultane : Jour 28 (Fin de la 4ème semaine de croissance) Taille : 27 cm ​Je continue ma marche. Le sable glisse sous mes pieds de nomade, mais mon regard ne quitte plus cet horizon où la tache blanche semble m'appeler. Dans mon oasis, le temps s'accélère. La petite pousse que j'observais hier est devenue une Sultane impériale, prête à régner sur son royaume, son oasis. 🏹 Le Domptage de la Reine : Mon LST ​Mes mains de jardinier-nomade ont travaillé avec patience. Grâce au LST (Low Stress Training), j'ai courbé la structure pour forcer le destin. Le résultat dépasse mes espérances : 10 branches secondaires vigoureuses ont jailli du tronc. Chacune d'elles se dédouble déjà, me promettant une canopée de 30 têtes. je lui ai enlevé deux feuilles de sa robe qui frôlait le sol pour éviter tout problème de brulure ou de champignons pour que sa croissance rzste vertigineuse. ​Je vois déjà le tableau final se dessiner : une armée de fleurs régulières, une géométrie sacrée qui portera bientôt ce givre légendaire. C'est une croissance incroyable, une explosion de vie que je guide jour après jour. 🏜️ État de l'Oasis ​Le climat est celui des journées parfaites au pied du Rif, là où l'air est pur et la lumière généreuse. ​Climat : 24°C - 25°C le jour / 20°C - 21°C la nuit. ​Humidité : 55% (L'air s'assoit légèrement, parfait pour durcir la fibre). ​Énergie : Intensité montée à 75% (La Lumatek tape fort, comme le soleil de midi). ​Distance : Réglée à 87 cm de l'apex pour que chaque branche secondaire reçoive sa partie de lumière. Nutriments Apportés (L'Élixir de vie) ​Aujourd'hui, j'ai préparé l'élixir qui soutient cette croissance massive : ​Hydratation : 0,5 Litre d'eau (Ajustée avec précision à un pH de 6,3). ​Offrande : 5 ml d'Orgatrex. ​Mon observation : En versant ce mélange, je sens que je nourris la terre et l'âme de la plante. Elle boit ce nectar organique pour transformer la lumière en branches solides. 📜 L'Anecdote du Rif : Le Secret des "Multiples Têtes" ​Au Maroc, les anciens du Rif disent souvent que pour obtenir une résine "mielée" comme la Beldia, il faut que la plante "regarde le ciel par tous ses membres". À l'époque, ils ne connaissaient pas le LST moderne, mais ils inclinaient parfois les plantes avec des pierres pour que les branches latérales s'élèvent comme des minarets. Aujourd'hui, mes 30 branches de têtes sont mes 30 promesses de richesse.Chaque nœud de la Sultane est une étape de plus sur ma route de nomade vers la Marque Blanche. ​Note du cultivateur : "28 jours de voyage... La Sultane prépare son armure. Le chemin est long, mais le joyau est à portée de main." aujourdhui le 22/03 le soleil tape sur cette douce terre la rendou aride. nous lui apportons un peu d'eau pour éviter une sécheresse 0,5 litres d'eau PH 6,3 pour la rafraîchir. 25/03 je lui ai apportéun peu de vie ( micro organisme) dans son oasis en lui donnant 1 grammes de bactrex. à bientôt pour la suite de la chronique. merci à tous pour vos commentaires.

6.12.25. 6th week flower started on 6.9. Gorilla zkittles still looking like a Frankenstein after being stunted by tying her down and being way stressed out! Still growing away though putting on bud but this is the smallest plant i have ever grown! Little disappointing but can’t wait for next grow! I’ll never stop growing been going strong for 15 years! Thanks for checking out grow I appreciate it!
