I wanted to title this weeks grow "How Big Are Your Balls? (root balls that is, lol)". I've been wanting to post pictures and video of the root balls for a while now, so today's the day! The temperature has been dropping here, so the plants are getting much less heat stress. In a couple of weeks the temperature should be down into the 60's and 70's during the day and all will be good.

A good week's growth, they are drinking more and I've started to feed, and I think they enjoyed the nutes as they clearly stretched over this last 24 hours.

She looks good

Same as above

Week 8 begins for LSD. Frost, bulk and an incredible fruity smell. If this girl smokes and tastes like she smells, she's got a long term home in my garden. Last week of feed before flushing. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

Bulking timex ladies are iced out. Looks like we might have 3 weeks more. Fingers crossed. Cheers yall thanks fr stopping by

Day 28 - lookin good.... checkin everything daily, adjusting as nessec. .... might start lookin at a top/trim/bend/flower plan..... Day 32 - post some ... watch the vid.. pretty sure u know whats about to happen here... lol i'm a pretty good grower... :) check out the base on both those super silver haze... that last video... shows u the perfect base and stalks and stems ..... those stalks are each going to be for a beautiful long bud... lol didn't really start with a clean glow solution.... so just kinda been winging it..... in the next week or 2 i'll think about flush both out completely, start with fresh new flower solutions, and switch to 12hr lights....... getting some awesome growth out of the 60 W on each plant..... thats 6 x 10w household led light globes..... 👍😎

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! 🌱💚

Really starting to flower everywhere. Was hoping for some more height before flowering started, but now I just need to make sure the baby girl packs on as much flower as possible! Got a new camera so the pictures should be better as well! Let me know what you think…. About the height of the plant and the new camera!!! I think I’m going to get some really nice bud off this plant, but we will see!!! Thanks FastBuds!

Well she seems to be getting along very well for her 4th week in flower. Nothing exciting done this week i keep feeding her about 5 litres of water with 30ml canna A and 30ml canna B with a ph of 6.3 on average water schedule about every 24hours.

Seconda settimana di fioritura...anche la Apple strudel sta bene.inizio a sentire dei buonissimi profumi di fiori di ganjah 😂😁😉💪💚💛 Stanno entrando nella 3 settimana di fioritura

🍬

tuna genetica fuori di testa , i terpeni sono solamente funk, gas, e terroso come una vera kush la adoro anche perche il thc sembra essere molto elevato sicuramente da rifare

9/14 Week 9 and she is doing fine Little vid she is center Nuets not changing for now 9/15 Ok major changes Brought up the alternate tent and placed her in it alone under a 150w Mars This is a test to see if we can help the crowding issue in the Flower tent Video enjoy 9/16 Doing well but some white tips are saying we gotta reduce the salts so will be dropping CT nuets 10% and upping PK to 2.5 Extra space is really doing them well Defoliation again tonight the war on stemmed leaves has begun 9/17 Held a meeting of the minds and decided the best course of action is to flip the light schedule so I can feed them more appropriately, twice a day. Leaving nuets as they are as this will drop pot EC. Setting the alarm for the AM before lights out at 7:30 and changing the sched to 6AM-6PM summer is done no need for current schedule. Lights be out from 7:30AM to 6AM long I know but should not bother them. 9/19 Lights on girls feed buds look fine Video enjoy

Super satisfied with my little girl, despite all the stress.

Day 75 Everything is going great again I started looking at the trichomes under a microscope. On some buds, 90% of the trichomes are clear and 10% are milky to amber On other buds, 80% are clear milky and 20% are milky to amber I think I'll wait another week or so before flushing. The soil pH has stabilized at 6.5 pH and the TDS is 1000-1100 ppm The smell is already quite strong. If I turn off the fan for even 5 minutes, the whole house stinks I think it would have been better to defoliate more aggressively than the last time, but it doesn't make sense now. I don't want to put too much stress on the plant so that all its energy goes into hardening and forming buds. Let's see how it turns out.

Very big leaves and a good growth. One week more and I'm going to switch to 12/12
