The Mandarin Squeeze girls are making progress. I did clip the long tail on the roots. I also lst the two plants apart. This is tge first time I have tried 2 plants together. Everything is going well, and there is nothing more to report. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Terpyz mutant Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 70/0 Flipped to 12/12 - increased ppfd by 100 and worked to stabilize temps/humidity with new gear. I used 15 minutes of IR light before main lights and then 30 minutes of UV light at mid day and will still use 15 minutes of IR light after main light are out. I plan to increase the time of UV lights to a max of 2.5 hours per day mid day but for now Im easing her into the treatments. Watered with 1.12 gallons of 6.3ph de-chlorinated tap water, used 50ppm of veg mix and 50ppm of bloom mix in the water. VPD is mostly steady 74F/65%RH/33%ILV Day 71/1 tested and calibrated my meter, tested the top soil 1 day after feed for ph - tested 4 times for an avg of 6.48 Trimmed brown leaves and did some HST/LST training/binding. Took control pics for UV treatments of 15 minutes per day. Will monitor and increase weekly it she holds up okay. Still doin 15 minutes of IR light before and after lights on/off. PPFD after training was 630 at highest and 540 lowest. VPD was 74F/60%RH/33%ILV Day 72/2 Just a watch today, VPD was 75F/60%RH/setting 4/10 of ILV (about 33% like the last tent) PPFD ranged from 530 to 650. I only used 5 minutes of UV light today as she has a tinge of browning on the tips of a few leaves. Im not cutting it out completely because I still plan to use upto 2.5 hrs by end of flower, so she needs to adjust. Im also still using 15 minutes of IR before and after main light schedule. Her stretch seems to be picking up, from 16 inches 2 days ago to 18 today. Day 73/3 VPD same as yesterday 75F/60%RH/40%ILV PPFD hit 670 at highest and 550 at lowest. Stayed with 5 minutes of UV light and monitored burnt tips from previous days... no spread, so I may add 5 more minutes tomorrow and monitor. 15 minutes of IR before/after main light schedule. Growth continues, another inch in stretch to 19 inches. I turned her slightly because there are still two runted colas that I rather provide more light to. It's been 3 days since last feed and I think with as much growth as she's putting on, I should feed again tomorrow. Im still introducing nutes in lower portions but will add 300ppm and feed about 2 gallons at a 25/75 ratio of veg:bloom mix to see if I can get some run off to measure conditions. Day 74/4 Watered with 2 gallons of 6.4 ph de-chlorinated tap water. I added 300ppm total of 25% Veg/75% Bloom. Starting ppm was 296; ending was 595 and I added a pinch of epsom salt. Poured over the whole base until I got runoff - Since I was so close to the whole 2 gallons, I used it all. I only used the feed water over the roots today as I want her to get the nutes from the soil since the transfer into new soil was so recent. So far VPD is 75F/60%RH/40%ILV. No issues with controls. PPFD was upto 700 at center so I raised the lights to almost 42" from soil - Since the plant is almost 20" that's 22" leaves to light. New PPFD now ranges at 480 to 650 on 70% power. I increased UV time to 10minutes today and took control pics for light burn. I am still using 15 IR before and after main lights. Took some black back picks since I think she's looking good now. Day 75/5 Started the day with evaluation of ph and control pics. Comparisons show no further spread of lock out issues from earlier or light burn of a more recent change. Upto 20 inches before HST/LST today. Meter was tested/calibrated and soil ph was tested 4 times for avg of 6.34 (yesterday's runoff was about 6.35 too) Soil temp is about 66F. Also tested CO2 and got 1050. Room VPD was 74F/60%RH/30%ILV I spread the leaves further apart because I noticed there were two colas not getting as much light and somewhat crowded by the colas near by. So I positioned the larger part of the tomato ring around the limbs extending here out to 32x32 and the used HST/LST to break and bend the center colas inward clockwise (I think I went a bit too hard on one as the others already show a bounce back and now one is still limp-ish (will monitor obviously) But with that the height is now 18" so 32x32x18 - but here's the kicker, I only have a 24x48 tent, so there's a few colas touching the walls and doorway now, so I may have to reconsider the larger ring. New position, new PPFD right?, not exactly, for some reason these settings still gave me range of 480 to 650 as I had yesterday with just a few more of the outer colas have 480 than yesterday. However, there's more light getting lower levels now and I only had to cut 1 leaf. Which is good because I did 15 minutes of UV today with the regular 15 minutes of IR before and after main lights. Day 76/6 VPD is a lil wonky now as humidity is starting to go up in the tent - so I plan to put in the dehumidifier this weekend and just leaving the humidifier off today and tomorrow. Heat seems to also be ticking up - so I reduced the temp on the heater and will monitor. Temps about 75 to 76 - humidity at about 62% as high as 65 though and Im trying to be at or under 60 this week. Increased ILV to 40% I repositioned the fans to hang on the lights while blowing down onto the plant. I tried to make every leaf dance a little. LST seemed to hold up okay - had to reposition a few branches and thinking I may have to build a larger box this weekend since the colas are now pressing the door and back wall. PPFD is between 470 and 700. I used 15 minutes of UV mid day with 15 minutes (30 total) IR before and after main light timers.

Starting to fill the tent out nicely. Next time i will wait little longer to put in my net. These girls are stretching more than I expected.

893 wet weight with stems, now in the Cannatrol for 6 days.. Edit: dry weight untrimmed and some stems 326g 297g without stems and trimmed A big Mama foo sur

All is going well, the girls are looking good. Only providing Calmag and powder KoolBloom now. Buds are starting to thicken up and overall nice and healthy. Raised up PK2 slightly, PK1 is much taller.

Harvest Day 100 Strong Tropical Aroma

HASSE Barber shop ! Madness or now Reality?!

I don't know where to start and I must admit I'm completely overwhelmed by this beautiful beautiful plant ❤️❤️❤️ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm so happy 😍😍😍 She is a blessing! Excuse the outburst, but she is magical ☀️ I applaud you guys at Humboldt for creating such a wonderful strain 🙌 Some details upfront, before I rave some more: - 134 Days in total: 70 Days in Veg, 64 Days in Flower with 128W LED in a 60x60x160cm tent - 7 Days Drying regularly, 9 Days Drying in the Fridge - 432g - Wet weight with stems - 103g of those for Fresh Harvest Infused Oil - 190ml Olive oil with 30mg/ml THC & CBD - approx. 20g dry (for dry weight calc.) - 87g for the DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying in the fridge - 20g dry - 242g for regular Drying @50% RH and 22°C - 55g dry - 30g dried sticky trim in the freezer Summary of my growing experience with this strain: She takes well to massive training and a little neglect in the beginning, meaning she recovers well, which is what I want 😊 I didn't experience any major deficiencies. She had a little nitrogen deficiency during the later veg phase, which she showed with lighter green leaves. I blame this on my long veg time and my pot size of only 11l. She consumed all her soil and nutes by the end of veg. I will keep that in mind for my next grow. Since I increased my nitrogen levels so close to flowering phase, I overdid it a little on the nitrogen which showed a little bit during later flowering phase with downwards clawing leaves. So I will be more careful with nitrogen especially while transitioning into Flower. I did not flush this plant and she smokes already beautifully mild after only a couple of days of curing. Drying her took 7 days in the tent and 9 days in the fridge. She crusted up with lots of stickiness while drying and gave off a good bit of scissor hash & kief when trimming. Smoking her is a great and different experience to me. It's my first time with a 1:1 strain and I can definitely notice the CBD content. She shows in a very well balanced body high with a slight and gentle knock on the THC door. The first couple of days I felt a craving for higher THC which settled down after only a couple of days. Very interesting and definitely worth growing. So you guessed right, I totally recommend growing this beauty. Especially if you are interested in exploring a 1:1 THC:CBD strain with all its magical medicinal values 🙏 Why I grew this strain: Like @Experimentgreen on here, I grew this strain for my Mama ❤️ She is open minded to trying to solve some of her health issues with these beautiful plants and the magic they bring but she also likes to have a bit of fun, she doesn't mind. So a 1:1 strain was quite handy. She suffers from neuropathic pain, arthritis in her joints, restless legs and insomnia. All very relatable issues and perfectly suitable to be introduced to some good CBD and THC content. She already has a little tolerance, since she is treating her restless legs with gummi bears I made with a strength of 1.5mg/gummi bear. This small dose already helps her on a daily for her restless legs. Beautiful 😍 So with this special mission in mind, I wanted to process the plant with only the very best options and create Cannabis Oil (Capsules) for my Mom to take. I chose a method called "Fresh Harvest Infused Cannabis oil" by the wonderful member SweetSue over at 420magazine: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ I hope it's ok to relink, no need to duplicate already existing and well researched content, right? I will not go into detail and def. recommend reading through the whole thread. I only document the short version here, but feel free to ask me, I'm happy to share my experience. The oil I made has 30mg/ml of THC and CBD. That's a good value. I calculated the strength the following: 75g fresh Flower in 200ml Olive Oil - with 10% CBD&THC 85% extraction efficiency with the infusion method 85% * 10% THC&CBD = 0.0850 0.0850 * 75g = 6.375 gram of available THC & CBD 6.375gram * 1000 = 6375mg/THC 6375mg/CBD 6375mg/200ml = 31.875mg/ml CBD & THC I created capsules with 3mg per capsule. We are currently trying to find the right dose for her. She started taking one capsule 60-90min before bed for 3 days now and will increase by 1 capsule tonight. We continue until a max dose of 15mg/day but always re-evaluate how she feels. She's documenting her experience quite cute. Very heartwarming and powerful. So far she sleeps better and she falls asleep faster, which she hadn't done in a long while. Onset is pretty precisely between 60 and 90 minutes. She has not had any restless legs so far. I'm excited for her and can't wait to see where this takes us. I also made her a salve/creme she uses as a topical on her joints. When she uses it early enough, before the big pain hits, she feels it helps. Of course this is not a science study and everything is purely based on personal experience. I thought I share, in case anyone is interested, also I want to give back a little, since I consume so much knowledge from all over the internet, including here, so thanks 🙏

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 8 | Letting Her Shine Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Sometimes a weekly update is full of changes. Sometimes there is a new technique, a new adjustment, a new feeding strategy, or something that needs correcting. And sometimes... you simply leave the plant alone. This week is one of those weeks. Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need anything from me right now. She's healthy. She's lush. She's stretching beautifully. She's developing flowers everywhere. So this week, I'm doing something that can sometimes be surprisingly difficult for a grower: I'm letting her be. 🌱 And honestly... I love what I'm seeing. 🌱 Twelve Plants, Twelve Different Stories If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Every seed received twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very beginning of its life. There was no long vegetative period. No attempt to force every phenotype into the same shape. Instead, each plant has been given the same environment and the freedom to reveal what is naturally inside its genetics. And that has created one of the most fascinating parts of this entire project. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Godfather OG Pheno B and her sister are a perfect example. They share the same genetic name. They are growing under the same environmental philosophy. They receive the same lighting and feeding strategy. Yet they are very different plants. Similar family traits. Very different personalities. And that's exactly what makes a phenotype hunt so exciting. 👑 She's Getting Tall Godfather OG Pheno B has now reached approximately 160 cm. She's continuing to stretch upward while maintaining that elegant, open structure that has defined her throughout the grow. Her branches remain nicely spaced. Her canopy is naturally open. And there is still plenty of light finding its way through the plant. She's not trying to become a giant bush. She's doing something much more graceful. She's building herself upward. And the further she goes, the more curious I become about where this structure will eventually take her. 🍃 That Beautiful Green One of the first things that catches my eye when I look at her is her colour. She's lush. That rich, healthy green is still present throughout the plant, and the foliage looks strong and well supported. The leaves are beautifully formed, the stems are holding themselves confidently, and the entire plant has that unmistakable look of a phenotype that is comfortable in her environment. There is no reason for me to interfere. No reason to force a shape. No reason to remove something simply because I can. She's telling me she's happy. So I'm listening. 🌸 Flowers Slowly Taking Their Place The flower development continues beautifully. Fresh white pistils are still dominating the flowers, while the individual flower sites are becoming increasingly obvious along the branches. We're past the stage where they're just tiny beginnings. Now you can really start to see the architecture of the future colas. They're still young. They're still building. But they're there. And that's what makes this stage so enjoyable to photograph. Every week reveals another layer. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more flower. A little more personality. Nature doesn't rush. It just keeps building. 💧 No Changes — Just Consistency This week I made no major interventions with Godfather OG Pheno B. No training. No defoliation. No structural changes. No attempt to redirect her. She's adapting beautifully, growing naturally, and continuing to develop under the same conditions. Sometimes consistency is the technique. And at this point, I genuinely believe the best thing I can do is allow her to continue doing what she's already doing so well. 🍽️ Feeding This Week The feeding program this week consisted of: Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Power Buds – 1 ml/L Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L, when required for pH adjustment pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L, when required for pH adjustment The solution was kept consistent with the overall flowering strategy of the room. No dramatic changes. No chasing numbers. Just giving her what she needs and allowing the plant to decide what to do with it. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow LED Black Series 600W continues providing the primary light source for the project. And underneath the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues helping illuminate those lower flowering sites. This is particularly interesting with a phenotype like Godfather OG Pheno B. She's tall. She's open. She's creating flower sites at different levels throughout the plant. So rather than expecting every photon to arrive from directly above, the under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas some additional support. I'm especially curious to see how those lower flowers develop as we move deeper into flowering. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues to remain stable this week. Current recorded conditions include: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS reading: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The numbers remain steady, and more importantly, the plant looks like she agrees with them. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs are probably the best representation yet of what makes this phenotype special. The full-plant images show just how tall and elegant she has become. The close-ups reveal those beautiful early flowers covered in fresh white pistils. And then there are the leaves... Deep green, healthy, beautifully structured leaves that almost look too perfect to touch. This is one of those plants where photography makes me stop for a moment. You look at the whole plant and see the structure. Then you get closer and suddenly there is an entirely different world happening inside it. Tiny flowers. Tiny trichomes. New pistils. Veins running through enormous fan leaves. It's all happening simultaneously. 🔮 Where Is She Going? This is the part I'm genuinely curious about. I don't know exactly where Godfather OG Pheno B is going to take us. And I don't want to predict too much. She's already shown me that she's different from her sister. She has her own architecture. Her own rhythm. Her own way of expressing the genetics. And now I'm simply interested in seeing what happens when we give her more time. The stretch will eventually slow. The flowers will continue building. Those young calyxes will begin stacking and swelling. And somewhere along that journey, this elegant green plant will start becoming something much heavier and more defined. For now... I'm happy to let her surprise me. 👑 Let Her Be There is something beautiful about reaching a point in a grow where you realize: You don't need to do anything. She's not asking for intervention. She's not asking to be reshaped. She's not asking to be corrected. She's simply growing. Tall. Green. Healthy. Beautiful. And completely herself. So this week, there is no big technique. No dramatic change. No grower's ego trying to improve what doesn't need improving. Just observation. Just consistency. And a little bit of admiration. Because sometimes the best way to grow a plant... is to let the plant grow. 💚 💚 Thank You Thank you once again for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues teaching me something I already knew but appreciate more with every week: Genetics have personalities. Two plants can share the same name and still tell completely different stories. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers right now. And I can't wait to see how the next chapters unfold. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can share, learn, and inspire one another. 👑 Zamnesia for the genetics making this phenotype journey possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting the plants throughout their development. 💡 Future of Grow LED for the powerful lighting driving this garden. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment. ✨ Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light to the lower flowering sites. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, asking questions, and enjoying this journey with me. Every interaction makes documenting this project even more rewarding. I'll see you all next week to find out what this beautiful lady decides to become. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Week 16 Day 109 and 62 in Flower today 😍 Their Mama went into dark on Day 62 of Flower, so I checked their trichomes today. They all look nearly finished, at least the top buds are all good to go. I will wait another day or two and then they will go into darkness. Next weekend will be a good time to harvest yeay ☀️ They have been fed a little water every two days for the last couple of days. Humidity has dropped quite a bit in the tent but it's still hot. Luckily temperatures are going down a little bit. Can't wait for my little rainbows 🌈 ❤️ Day 111 and 64 in Flower, one last day with light 😍 Added some trich shots of one the clones. Good call to send them into darkness. And guys, the colours aaaaaaaaaaaaah 😍😍😍

Day:56 from germination 16H FullSpectrum 2H Red+Fr+RB+Uv Avarage Par 1000-1280 120*120 Single Hydrophonic 1000ppm 6.4PH

Harvest about a week early to not get any amber thricomes. The buds look amazing so sugary don’t want them to become amber. Will press like 70-80% into rosin. So don’t want no ambers’s. Otherwise this strain was amazing to grow! It was super stable all the time and produced some Sick buds for me! This shit smells like gods v*gina!

Was just using water with the last 2 plants this week. They both plumped up a bit and got more color going on, which is exactly what I was waiting for. Overall, it was a nice grow with only a couple hiccups.

Due to the messed up leafs I had cut my losses on this gelato41 big bushy pheno Striped all the big leafs and imma finna flush her soon and cut my loses she wud ave been a nice chunky girl but sometimes u gotta roll wid the punches 😅😅

First week of flower went smooth as , nice growth and everything as expected. Just getting into the defol and tying down branches to get light where it needs to go . Same same next week.

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu
