Everything is going well I got a raptor hood for my 600 watt so I was able to drop my light right on top of my plants maybe 6 niches away . Noticed she was getting a bit lighter in colour so I brewed up a tea first 1 ever just switched to organics tea looked good hopefully not 2 strong . I also pulled some branches out to open up more branches to get light as she was bushy and I did not want to cut most of the branches off because I'm not trimming larf lol. Now it's smooth sailing to the end I got 1 more top dressing next week and all I gotta do is water once a week

Erntereif !

Cosecha: Día 63 - Cosecha Óptima Dinámica Nutricional y Translocación de Metabolitos El éxito de este ciclo radica en la ejecución estricta del escalonamiento gradual del Nitrógeno (N). Siguiendo los hallazgos de Saloner & Bernstein (2021), redujimos el suministro de N conforme avanzó la floración para evitar el antagonismo con la síntesis de metabolitos secundarios. Punto Dulce de N: Al mantener el flujo de N por debajo de los 160 mg/L y finalizar cerca de los 0-50 ppm en la fase de maduración, logramos "apagar" la inversión energética en biomasa foliar. Translocación de Azúcares: Esta deficiencia de N programada indujo una translocación masiva de carbohidratos desde las hojas abanico hacia las inflorescencias. La planta, al detectar la baja disponibilidad de nitratos, priorizó la ruta del ácido mevalónico y la ruta MEP/DOXP, maximizando la biosíntesis de cannabinoides y terpenos en lugar de aminoácidos estructurales tal como lo documentado en el articulo de Saloner y Bernstein. Análisis del Estado de los Tricomas Glandulares La decisión de cosechar en el día 63 se basó en un análisis micro-morfológico de los tricomas: Madurez Cromática: Se observó un 90% de tricomas lechosos (opacos) y un 10% de tricomas ámbar. Este ratio es el punto de máxima concentración de THC gracias a la aplicación de 250 ppm de Ácido Ascórbico como antioxidante en la última semana, justo antes de que la degradación enzimática hacia CBN. Integridad Estructural: Gracias al aporte de Silicio biodisponible (manteniendo el buffer de 40-49 ppm de Silicio), las cabezas de los tricomas glandulares mostraron una resiliencia mecánica superior, evitando la ruptura prematura y la oxidación de los aceites esenciales. Salud Metabólica y Protección Antioxidante La implementación del protocolo de Ácido Ascórbico (250 ppm) y Ácido Salicílico (70 ppm) en la recta final fue determinante: Neutralización de ROS: El ascorbato actuó como un potente antioxidante sistémico, neutralizando las Especies Reactivas de Oxígeno (ROS) generadas por la alta radiación y el calor del Exterior preservando la transparencia y pureza de la resina. Priming de Defensa: El ácido salicílico mantuvo activa la ruta SAR, asegurando que el sistema inmunológico de la planta permaneciera alerta contra patógenos oportunistas durante el periodo de estrés hídrico controlado (dry-backs) previo al corte. La arquitectura floral muestra una densidad de cálices excepcional, característica del linaje Cookies, con una cobertura de resina que confirma una gestión impecable del estrés abiótico y la nutrición mineral basada en evidencia científica.

Ultimately they are all healthy and doing great. Still have few weeks left of flowering but White Widow and Peyote getting frosty already. BlackSugar healthy but still little slower then the rest. Super happy with the White Widow, just lots of bud sites from the bottom to the top. I think maybe 3.5 weeks left close to end of the month. Super Happy

Al corte ✂️✂️✂️

Big nugs.

Increased Buddy to 1mm p/l. Will be adding PK14 in the next 2 weeks as they're peak flower and will need the Potassium etc. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapses.

They both have started to flower! So far so good both plant seem to be doing great with no issues.

Defoliated 2 daya ago. Very happy with the grow, best scrog to date!

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 5 | A Different Rhythm, The Same Beautiful Journey Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a phenotype hunt is watching two sisters grow side by side while revealing completely different personalities. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting schedule. Nearly identical nutrition. Yet each plant chooses her own path. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is proving exactly that. Although she shares many similarities with her sister, she’s writing a story entirely her own. ⸻ 🌱 How We Got Here For anyone joining this diary for the first time, this entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of providing a long vegetative period before switching the lights, the plants receive a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light cycle from the very beginning of life. This allows every phenotype to decide naturally when it’s mature enough to begin flowering. Some start earlier. Others prefer to spend a little more time building themselves before making that transition. That’s exactly what makes this project so fascinating. Nature decides. I simply provide the environment and let each plant express herself. ⸻ 🌼 Week One of Flower Although we’re now five weeks from seed, this marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower for Chem Brûlée Pheno B. The transition is now undeniable. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the growing tips, signalling that the plant has officially entered her reproductive phase. Over the coming weeks these tiny white hairs will multiply rapidly, forming the foundation for the flowers that will eventually cover the canopy. This is where the magic really begins. ⸻ 🍃 Big Leaves, Beautiful Health Just like her sister… The first thing that catches your eye is those incredible fan leaves. They’re huge. Wide. Deep green. Full of life. Healthy fan leaves are the engines powering everything that comes later, capturing light and converting it into the energy needed to build stems, roots and eventually dense, resin-covered flowers. Looking across the canopy, she’s showing exactly the kind of vigorous growth I hope to see during this stage. There is one damaged leaf visible in this week’s photographs. That one is entirely my fault. Sometimes, while working around the plants, accidents happen. Fortunately, it’s nothing more than cosmetic damage. The rest of the plant continues looking exceptionally healthy, and one damaged leaf certainly won’t slow her down. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training Training continues to remain intentionally simple. Rather than forcing the plant into unnatural shapes, I’m using gentle Low Stress Training, carefully bending and repositioning growth to improve light distribution throughout the canopy. Leaf tucking also remains part of the daily routine whenever needed. Small adjustments performed consistently usually produce better long-term results than aggressive training all at once. The goal isn’t to control the plant. The goal is simply to help every future flower receive as much light as possible. ⸻ 🌡️ This Week’s Environment The environment continues providing ideal conditions for this stage of development. This week’s averages included: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 24.2°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Humidity remains intentionally a little higher while the plants are still stretching and producing fresh vegetative growth. As flowering progresses and buds begin to stack, humidity will gradually be reduced to provide the ideal conditions for healthy flower development. Watching the room evolve each week has been incredibly satisfying. Every update feels like another step closer to seeing this full canopy covered in flowers. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Photos This week’s update includes a variety of different perspectives, including bird’s-eye views, side profiles, detailed close-ups, and room shots documenting her progress from every angle. I always enjoy photographing plants this way because every perspective tells a slightly different story. From above, you can appreciate the canopy. From the side, you can see the structure. Close-ups reveal the first pistils beginning to emerge. Together, they create a complete snapshot of this stage in her journey. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect Chem Brûlée Pheno B to continue stretching while producing many more flowering sites throughout the canopy. The number of white pistils should increase significantly as flower formation accelerates, and the plant will begin directing more energy toward building future bud sites. Training will remain gentle and minimal, allowing her natural structure to develop while simply improving light penetration where necessary. She’s progressing at her own pace… And that’s exactly what makes following each phenotype so rewarding. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you’ve been here since germination or you’ve just joined this journey, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every bit of advice, and every conversation we share. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn, and inspire one another. Zamnesia for the amazing genetics behind this phenotype hunt. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrients supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that fuels every day of healthy development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally, thank you for taking the time to follow along. Every diary update is another page in this story, and I’m grateful to have so many people sharing the journey with me. I’ll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno B will continue finding her own rhythm, one beautiful flower at a time. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Am happy with how things are starting to take shape now kinda hav a plan in ma head of wot am wanting to gain iota this at the moment it’s all just experience first hand trial n error

SS and CC are smelling delicious 😋

Día 88 y penúltimo antes del corte. Ya se aplicó Flawless Finish para un acabado impecable como su nombre lo indica. Siempre prefiero hacer el lavado de raiz solo aplicando agua en las últimas 2 semanas, pero esta vez lo hice aplicando el finalizador y luego los últimos riegos con agua purificada. La verdad es que estoy contento con los resultados de esta nena, que es hermosa por cierto, desprende olores ácidos, cítricos, dulces. Los colores son hermosos y las flores están rebosantes de tricomas, lo que la vuelve muy vistosa. Es todo por ahora, estaré manteniendoles informados en estos últimos días. Buenos humos! 👽

Today i topped both plants! Light set to 60% strength with a distance of 60 cm.

I started Flushing two plants as there nearing the end of there days. I'll start Flushing the others this week apart from the kalimist indica pheno as it started flowering 3 or so weeks after the others even though they were all forced together. (alkward bugger) Some of the plants are showing red /purple colours a little bit 👍

08/23 - As reported last 3 of the 4 have recovered completely with one lagging a bit but showing promising signs - Prepping the ladies for final transplant into 3 gallon pots- if all goes according to plan the ladies will be in their final homes the 3x3 - I will continue to micro-feed in very limited amounts to increase EC/PPMS gradually - When moved into the 3x3 they will be under a 4x4 light switching out from the Marshydro 150w to the Sunraise QB3000 300W led light - Stay tunned 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

In den letzten Tagen hat sich was erfreuliches getan: Die Tropicanna Poison hat sich endlich dafür entschieden, sichtbare Buds zu entwickeln. Ich war kurz vor der Verzweiflung. Diese sind zwar Mikroklein, aber vielleicht schwellen die noch ordentlich an. Der Stamm sieht auch wieder etwas besser aus - der war fast schwarz, inzwischen sind wir wieder bei einem ungesunden lila 😂👍. Der Geruch wird süßlicher, freut mich auch, da diese Pfeffernote echt nicht meins war. Klar, die komplette Pflanze sieht nicht wirklich top aus, aber die scheint über den Berg zu sein. Bin gespannt, wie sich das entwickelt.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 A Different Personality, the Same Strong Foundation One of the reasons I enjoy phenotype hunts so much is that even when two plants share exactly the same genetics, environment, and care, they still find their own way to express themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is proving exactly that. Growing alongside her sister inside the 8×8 Adventure, under the same 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has chosen a slightly different path. While Pheno A developed into a broader, more evenly spread canopy, this lady has remained a little more compact and slightly shorter, standing at 88 cm, with a beautiful upright structure that feels elegant and incredibly well organized. Different personality. Same healthy foundation. And she’s looking absolutely fantastic. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – A Beautiful Transition into Flower The flowering stretch is beginning to slow, and the plant is now directing more of her energy toward what really matters—building flowers. Despite being the smaller sister, there is nothing small about her health or vigor. She has developed strong branching, excellent stem thickness, and a wonderfully open architecture that allows light to travel throughout the entire plant. Looking at her from the side, every branch seems to have found its own space. Looking from above, the canopy remains balanced, symmetrical, and full of promising flowering sites. She carries herself with confidence. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure Like the rest of this project, the focus has never been on forcing the plant into shape. Instead, careful Low Stress Training, gentle branch positioning, and occasional leaf tucking have allowed her natural structure to reveal itself. This phenotype responded beautifully. Rather than becoming extremely wide, she developed a more vertical framework while still maintaining excellent branch spacing and airflow. Every flowering site now enjoys plenty of light exposure, and the open interior should help support healthy flower development throughout the coming weeks. Sometimes the best training is simply allowing the plant to guide you. ⸻ ? The Arrival of Flower This week, flowering is no longer something that’s coming. It’s here. Fresh white pistils now decorate nearly every growing tip, transforming what were once simple shoots into the first true bud sites. Those bright white hairs always bring a special feeling. They’re the first real promise of what’s ahead. The tops are beginning to stack, secondary branches are joining the party, and little by little, the architecture of the final harvest is starting to reveal itself. It’s one of the most exciting moments of every grow. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional across the entire plant. The leaves display a rich, healthy green, with beautiful turgor and excellent posture from top to bottom. The stems continue strengthening, new growth remains vibrant, and the overall appearance is one of complete balance. She may be slightly more compact than her sister, but she radiates exactly the same vitality. Every photo reflects a plant that is comfortable, thriving, and fully focused on flowering. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, this Frosted Guava isn’t connected to the AutoPot system. She has been hand-watered throughout the entire grow, receiving exactly the same nutrient solution and environmental conditions while allowing a little more hands-on interaction during irrigation. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 Even with different irrigation methods, she’s demonstrating just how consistent the Plagron program can be when paired with careful observation and stable environmental conditions. Different watering style. Same excellent results. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This entire project continues benefiting from an incredibly stable growing environment. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Every phenotype inside the room experiences the same carefully managed climate, allowing their unique genetic differences—not environmental inconsistencies—to tell the story. That consistency is becoming more evident with every passing week. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch is nearly complete, and now the real excitement begins. Over the coming weeks, I expect these fresh pistils to multiply rapidly as each flowering site begins stacking into properly formed buds. Her slightly more compact stature could become a real advantage later in flower, potentially producing dense, well-supported colas throughout the canopy. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to let the flowers take over. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is a wonderful reminder that every plant deserves to be appreciated for what it naturally wants to become. She isn’t trying to compete with her sister. She simply expresses the same genetics in her own unique way. A little shorter. A little more compact. Just as healthy. Just as beautiful. Watching both Frosted Guava phenotypes develop side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. It’s these subtle differences that make every grow, every phenotype, and every harvest its own unique story. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the opportunity to explore these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the amazing lighting, TrolMaster for keeping the environment perfectly controlled, and to everyone following, commenting, and supporting this journey here on GrowDiaries.
