hello everyone, weed masters! your Peaky is raising some very good queens !! I had to improvise something to pull the lights higher because these girls are getting really tall! their buds are filling with sticky trichomes like glue! mmmmm a sweet lemon aroma can already be perceived! damn ... I can't wait! HAPPY AND ABUNDANT HARVESTS FOR EVERYONE BEST REGARDS PEAKYPLANTERS

These buds are getting big and Frosty

Day 78, I switched plant #2 to an all PK diet with FloraFlex Full Tilt. She’ll take up the whole 3.5 gals of nutes by Wednesday. I’m then going to begin my 3 day flush Wednesday evening. And I will chop her on Saturday evening. I also took a little sample nug off plant #2 just want to compare non-flushed to flushed weed. Also see how much they shrink in size. Day 79, Plant #2 is on schedule to start flush in 2 days. And I will give her the chop this coming weekend. Going to try a ice flush using frozen water bottles to see if I can help bring out more color. The other plants #1 and #3 are still a two weeks or so away from being chopped. Day 81, started the 3 day flush on Plant #2. And took some more photo shots of her buds and a 360° view video. Day 84, Plant #2 got the chop. Wet weight, before light trim and removing large stems is 760 grams!!! I will update once they finish drying, and then again once I finish the trim and about to jar them for cure. Plants #1 & #3 are still flowering, probably another week or two before they are ready to be chopped.

F1 for this mad dog, will turn to flowering in a couple of days. This plant is growing super strong and fast, biggest of the bunch, I'm trying to keep her from stretching, want to flowr them short and bushy. Hopefully they go through flowering just fine.

9/7/24 this is a clone from my outdoor jokerz plant. she's had to reveg but is currently showing new growth. i wanted to see what she looks like when grown indoor. i wanted the outdoor ones to be indoor plants[ i mostly run indoor] but they got too big for my space but i didnt want to consider it a complete loss and took some clones. 9/12 her growth is improving. i didnt realize that this was considered monster cropping. Underneath the main she has atleast 4 side branches coming out thats new growth. im curious to see how this affects plant growth, plant training and over all plant FYI the pictures and test results that i posted are from the nurseries website that the clones/cultivars i have are from. i have no affiliation with them. im a rec grower in a rec

🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno A | Week 4 The adventure continues… Every week this project reminds me why I love growing from seed. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients, the same lighting and exactly the same environment, each phenotype writes its own story. That’s exactly what this diary is about. This is Godfather OG – Pheno A from Zamnesia, grown as part of my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different genetics are all being cultivated using the 12/12 from seed method. The goal isn’t to chase massive vegetative plants, but to discover each cultivar’s natural expression while keeping everything under identical conditions. Week 4 has been all about building structure. The roots are now well established, the branches are strengthening, and the plant is beginning to reveal the architecture that will support the coming stretch. Every day she becomes a little easier to read, and so far she’s telling a very promising story. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development This phenotype has developed into a beautiful, compact plant with excellent vigor. The overall colour is rich and healthy, while the newest growth shows that vibrant lime-green tone typical of fast, actively dividing tissue. One thing that immediately catches my attention is how symmetrical she is becoming. The internodal spacing remains tight, producing a dense canopy filled with potential flowering sites. The stem is noticeably thick and sturdy, which is always something I like to see before entering the real flowering stretch. Strong foundations usually lead to strong harvests. Large fan leaves are doing an incredible job powering photosynthesis while shading portions of the canopy that aren’t yet ready for full exposure. Overall, she looks calm, healthy and completely comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training this week remained focused on Low Stress Training (LST). Instead of removing leaves, I’m continuing to gently reposition branches and tuck larger fan leaves underneath developing shoots. This simple technique allows more light to reach secondary growth without sacrificing valuable solar panels. The beauty of leaf tucking is that nothing is permanently removed. The plant keeps all of its energy-producing leaves while the lower branches receive enough light to begin competing for canopy space. Every day the branches become a little more flexible and easier to position. As they continue to harden, they’ll naturally hold their new shape, creating a wider and more even canopy. It’s a slow process, but one that consistently pays off later in flower. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The nutrition remains simple and consistent. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution adjustments: * pH: 6.1 * EC: 1.35 mS/cm Nothing dramatic has changed because there simply isn’t any need to fix something that is already working. The plant is responding beautifully, producing vigorous new growth without any signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. The root zone appears very healthy, allowing the canopy to expand steadily every day. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues to perform exceptionally well despite the warm weather. Environmental conditions • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C While daytime temperatures are certainly on the higher side, maintaining stable humidity, good airflow and constant irrigation allows the plants to continue growing without showing signs of heat stress. Healthy roots make an enormous difference during warmer periods, and so far this room is handling those conditions remarkably well. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to continue guiding the canopy through gentle LST while allowing the secondary branches to catch up with the main leaders. If she continues developing at this pace, she should enter the flowering stretch with an even canopy, excellent branch distribution and plenty of future bud sites already exposed to light. For now, patience remains the best training technique. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed continues to be one of the most fascinating experiments I’ve ever undertaken. Every phenotype responds differently. Some stretch early, others remain compact, while others completely surprise me halfway through the cycle. That’s exactly why I enjoy documenting every single plant individually. Watching each phenotype express its unique personality under identical conditions teaches me far more than simply chasing yield. Every week brings another lesson, and every diary becomes another chapter in that learning process. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey, whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve just discovered the diary. Thank you to those who leave kind comments, ask thoughtful questions, share knowledge, and even to the critics who encourage me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make this community stronger. A special thank you goes to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, compare and learn from one another. And of course, endless gratitude to the incredible companies helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the amazing Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the light that powers every day of growth. Finally, thank you for taking the time to follow this 8×8 adventure. I hope these weekly updates inspire you to keep growing, keep learning, and most importantly, enjoy every step of the journey. Until next week… Growers Love and Happy growing! 🌱💚

Plant A (left side) started pushing through the medium first after 48 hours. Plant B germinated successfully at 96hrs but due to cold climate and moisture in the seed the seed got too cold and turned to mush. At 96hrs Plant A had reached 1.25" and had started to spread the first set of leaves. It is now approximately 2" tall and the first fan leaves are about 1/3" long. Growth is steady and effortless for this girl. So far the self watering set up, grow light, and medium have been treating plant A great. After 60hrs she became fully exposed. Plant B germinated as stated before and died, Plant C was planted 5 days into the germination week of Plant A. No pre-soak, just dry seeds dropped directly into the medium. Miracle Grow myth has so far been proven wrong (performance organics, not regular potting soil). In addition to the set up, I found a water bottle diffuser I have on a 6hr rotation (6 on and 6 off) that I found for $9USD at a grocery outlet. Humidity now steady at 31% on the gauge and about 65% Relative Humidity. Temps sit steady around 68-71°F. Shooting for 360g or 180g from each plant utilizing LST. We are seeing if organic miracle grow has enough nutes for an autoflower, with 3 months of nutrients as stated from the bag it should end up timing out perfectly for harvest time with no flushing needed as nutrients will already be used up.

📆 Semana 8 La Mentha de Croco se acerca a su punto clave de maduración, afinando cada detalle antes del cierre. Los cogollos siguen compactándose y ganando peso, cubriéndose con una capa de resina más gruesa y brillante. Los pistilos continúan anaranjándose y los cálices empiezan a hincharse, señal de que la planta está entrando en su fase más madura. El aroma se intensifica aún más: dulce, fresco y con ese toque mentolado que ahora destaca al mínimo roce. La estructura sigue limpia y aireada, sin humedad acumulada, y los riegos se ajustan al milímetro para mantener el equilibrio justo antes del lavado. 🌸 Última semana de engorde real: terpenos, resina y maduración afinándose para un final perfecto. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Doing great. Getting excited. 2-3 until harvest. Maybe 4, you just never know Based on tricombs I'd say at least 3

Day 36 - I watered her again with nutrients ph to 5.8, i was advised to water less but everyday. I defoliated her today and she looks great. I took of a few shade leaves and now there is a lot more space for the plant to breath .Tied a branch down so it has more space i will need to start putting branches in the places where i have big gaps. Day 37 - I didn't have much time today when i took the picture, but i checked on her in the morning gave a quick sweep to make sure there was no headache. Day 38 - I checked her today again nothing that can ruin the whole crop. This baby does not give me headache at all runs very smoothly. She has been watered with nutrients today at PH 5.9. I got new lights today spider farmer sf2000, this looks amazing inside there. Day 39 - The plant is okay temperature is to high in room its at 34°c waiting on inlet fan to come to cool temperature, well to try to cool the temp because I'm not sure if i can cool it. Day 40 - The plant looks well. The leaves with the wind hitting it looks very week. I think i might need to defoliate it just so plant doesn't get stressed. The plant has been watered with nutrients at 5.6PH. Day 41 - once again i didn't take a picture today.  I was very busy and didn't have time however i checked the plants as soon as i woke up and they looked well and healthy. Day 42 - She looks well as always but again only thing i could ask for is a better yield but let's see what happens. I watered her today with nutrients and the water Ph was at 5.5.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

Precisei remover a rede de scrog pois tive problemas na coluna e não estava conseguindo cuidar das plantas. Fiz o manejo apenas com LST. Não estou conseguindo corrigir a deficiência d zinco da white widow 2, ja fiz inclusive aplicação foliar mas a deficiência persiste em continuar.

Perfect tropical-like weather. No problems to report. Excellent growth. Still rearranging net tent as this bastard stretch a lot. She's a strange big & tall plant, I don't fully understand her, she has a mysterious, almost ancestral scent. The base of the stem is getting huge, I hope the branches get a little more fat. Very mild rust fungus infection on the lower leaves of one branch close to tomatoes

DAY 21: Hi Grow diaries Fam. Hope everyones week has gone good and your greens are deep and fed. It had been a steady week in veg for the fast buds fun crew The Fc3000 is really feeding them some great full spectrum Ray's that are really being utilised by the big leaved ladies forming now . I have continued using the tip spreading method to show how well it can reduce the plants overall height but to also show how it can save energy on stalk building to focus on growing tips. The end result pre flowering stretch is very easy to manage plants that I can hopefully grow buds on instead of lots of limbs and pointless leaf. The stretch period will be very helpful in building the individual colas and helping them to find their own space to grow fatt and chunky hopefully One of the six shooters has already begun to show her female hairs quite a abundantly soni dont thinknthey will be in veg much longer besides the smaller Mexican airline , shenjas fought back so well now but is still behind the others in her growth so o expect her to flower a little later than the rest. The spoil is delivering plenty of nutrition tonal of the ladies sp far with no signs of fade in any of the plants and lots of green growth. Some of the leaves are a great size and will be absorbing so much of this amazing spectrum in the coming weeks that I expect we will have some patties soon enough. Be well growmies. Video can explain better. Lol UPDATE ... Tip spreading has worked really well so far with the girls stating nice and squat. The amount of growing tips that have been stacked up in such a small main stem should make a nice finish

This grow is an example of how important is to check your veg time to make sure it doesn't shoot over the lights and over the roof really, overall is good tho. Also i ditched advanced nutrients for a new brand, since advanced nutrients are just costly stickers imho. 11/16/24 bought a new fert , that will not only last me 10 times with a fraction of cost, also it's much easier then mixing 24 different bottles , also all the liquid ferts tends to cristallize so i don't even know if the fert i've applyied in the past (advanced nutrients perfect ph micro-grow-bloom) was all bioavailable (probably not) since the buds looks already bigger after 1 application. Also Ferty 1 Geo has also molybdenum among the microelements wich was not present on advanced nutrients. cheers!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 06/02/2020 - Gave her 1,5l of tap water, checked the trichomes still transparent almost turning cloudy maybe a few more day!! 08/02/2020 - Showing her first amber trichomes going to harvest in 1 to 2 days !

No issues this week.
