topped August 28th 2018

hello guys, we really got to the limit I think! after 89 days, the first month of March was very cold and April not least !, I still managed to have a beautiful plant !!! and rich in trichomes, the smell is reminiscent of pine resin! and I can't wait to try. Sunday 9/6 cutting ... while in the indoor I'm growing the non-original seed born from a top, now I've passed it after 89 days of vegetative, in bloom it was full of primordial flowers! I think it will be a success !!!!, then I cut some branches I made 4 cuttings 1 of these is dead, the others continue on their way, for reasons of space they are already receiving even 12 hours of light .. .

Frosty frosty 🍓❄️

I’m happy to be here at this point. Hoping In these few weeks these ladies start to thicken out. Sundae Batter is sticky sweet as hell. Bubbles smells so good, just stomping up my nostrils.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 6 | Nature Keeps Her Own Calendar Growing multiple phenotypes from the same seed pack is one of the greatest reminders that every plant writes her own story. Even when everything is identical—the same room, the same lighting schedule, the same nutrients, the same environment—each phenotype responds according to its own genetic blueprint. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues to prove that point beautifully. While her sister has already settled comfortably into flowering, this lady is still taking her time. She's showing the earliest signs that bloom is approaching, but she hasn't fully committed just yet. And that's perfectly okay. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is stop trying to rush nature and simply pay attention to what the plant is saying. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If you're joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire 8×8 Adventure is being grown using the 12/12 from seed method. From the moment these seeds germinated, they've received twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness every single day. Unlike a traditional photoperiod grow, where the grower decides exactly when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, this approach allows each plant to determine its own timing. That's why these two Blueberry Muffin sisters look so different despite growing side by side. Pheno A embraced flowering weeks ago. Pheno B is still finishing the work she wants to do before making that transition. She's reminding us that genetics don't own a calendar. They simply follow their own rhythm. 🌿 A Compact Bush With Big Potential One thing that immediately stands out this week is just how compact this phenotype has become. She's noticeably shorter than her sister, yet every internode is packed tightly together, producing a dense, healthy canopy filled with future flowering sites. The gentle Low Stress Training continues to work exactly as intended. Rather than forcing dramatic changes, it has gradually opened the plant while encouraging side branches to grow upward and compete for the canopy. Leaf tucking has remained part of the daily routine, helping expose developing shoots without removing unnecessary foliage. With such tight growth, every little adjustment makes a noticeable difference. The result is a beautifully balanced little bush that feels full of potential. 💧 Individual Care for an Individual Plant One advantage of growing each phenotype as its own diary is being able to treat every plant according to its own needs. Unlike several of the other girls in this room, Pheno B is still being hand-watered. She continues receiving her own feeding schedule, allowing me to make adjustments specifically for this phenotype while observing how she develops before eventually joining the rest of the flowering program. Not every plant wants the same meal at the same time. Listening to that difference is part of becoming a better grower. 🍽️ Feeding While many of the flowering plants have already moved to a bloom-focused nutrition schedule, Pheno B continues following a transitional feeding program that supports both vegetative growth and the approaching flowering stretch. This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The nutrient solution remained stable with an EC of approximately 1.78 mS/cm and a pH adjusted to 6.02, providing everything she needs while allowing her to continue developing at her own pace. For now, there's no reason to rush any changes. Healthy plants tell you when they're ready. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very consistent throughout the week. Daytime temperatures averaged around 29°C, with nighttime temperatures close to 25°C. Relative humidity settled around 60%, while atmospheric CO₂ measured approximately 693 ppm. These stable conditions continue providing an ideal environment for steady growth, allowing Pheno B to focus her energy on building structure before fully committing to flower. Consistency is often one of the most overlooked nutrients in any grow room. 📸 This Week Behind the Lens This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this phenotype. The side profiles reveal an incredibly stocky plant with thick stems and remarkably tight internodal spacing, while the close-up images begin showing the earliest hints of floral development hiding between vibrant green leaves. She's not stretching dramatically. Instead, she's quietly building a strong, compact framework that could eventually support some beautifully dense flowers. Sometimes the plants that make us wait the longest surprise us the most at harvest. 🔍 Looking Ahead I have a feeling this could be Pheno B's final week of vegetative growth. The first signs are there. She's beginning to hint that flowering is finally approaching, even if she's still taking things more slowly than the rest of the room. Over the coming week I'll continue with gentle leaf tucking, maintain the current feeding program, and simply let her dictate the pace. If she officially enters flower, the diary will naturally follow her into that next chapter. If she chooses to wait another few days... That's perfectly fine too. After all, one of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that plants don't grow according to our expectations. They grow according to their genetics. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me. Whether you're here to learn something new, compare growing techniques, ask questions, or simply enjoy watching these different phenotypes develop, I truly appreciate having you along for the ride. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document every success, challenge, and lesson. ? Zamnesia for these fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics, which continue to showcase just how diverse two sister plants can become. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow, allowing each phenotype to receive exactly what it needs. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light that powers this entire project from seed to harvest. And finally... Thank you for taking the time to follow this adventure. Every comment, every question, every shared experience, and every bit of encouragement helps make these diaries something far greater than a simple grow log. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week... where we'll discover whether Pheno B finally decides it's time to join her sister in full flower—or reminds us once again that nature always keeps her own calendar. 🌱💚

Stopped using chemical nutrients and will only be using Gaia Green power bloom to top dress the soil for the remainder of the grow. This plant will most likely be a monster. Im sure it will yield a lot.

She is doing well, running Big Rootz soil so not much is needed by way of nutes just yet. Watching for discoloring of leaves in future so I can start a 25% nute feeding regiment. Noticed last night she is already in preflower. Honestly I am pleased to see it happening sooner rather than later. She is a thirsty girl and a long grow in a solo cup sounds intimidating as hell to me lol. Decided to go for it put a nice bend on her and strapped her down for the ride!

Major issues with calcium def for no reason and a weird re veg, and the utter lack of mould resistance. Plant was tall and buds are huge and dense, let's hope the taste is phenomenal.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** This week has been interesting, I was getting some weird runoff numbers in terms of EC/PPM and PH, so I decided to try and bring the PH up with a flush of high PH water into the medium. I did not have any PH up on hand so I used borax, PH of 9-10 plus it will help kill off any microbes in the soil that I believe is causing the PH swings. After doing this and getting the PH I wanted in the solution I released that the amount of B in the solution was to high and would cause more issues down the road, It was late in the day so I left the next flush to fix the excess B till tomorrow morning. Morning came and when I processed to flush I added in a bit of peroxide to the water and a dash of dish soap to break the waters surface tension so it flows through the pots more easily. This was going fine till it started to not drain out at all. I think it was foaming up in the medium and preventing a normal flow, plus on two of the pots I lost my perlite that sits on the top of the medium. I had to massage the pots "like when you transplant" to make then start draining again and then purchased a Yucca extract to help it flow through. Everything is back to normal. The pots are really root bound and should be transplanted but its mid flower and that's not going to be happening. I also don't know if I'd even have the space for it. I added in a b1 vitamin as well on recommendation of grow shop as apparently their other lineup I purchased did not have any. No idea if its working well only first week in the feeding. The Cytokelp is fun, but the one hormone in it is similar to a PGR but its not a real PGR. I am skeptical of it and not using it as foliar, just root watering. I also added in a bit of CaMg supplement that gave the plants a boost in N and Ca. The mg of this product was lesser then others I have seen about a 5:1 ratio of Ca to Mg. after the big flushes the runoff was hitting 120ppm so I gave it a good feed at 1.8EC Time will tell If i fucked it up royally by doing all this, this ETS plant is still going strong and is the 2nd best plant in the tent, it very well may get 1st some harvest time as I was detecting some strong whiffs of a kushy berry smell coming off it, it was sexy as fuck! All the plants are still stretching but it seems slow to me. Maybe it will continue going but it only put on about 2cm in the last week and a half. Feels slow. I may see more stretching in the next week upcoming and it just had a ruff start. Lights still running at 100% with V1 spectrum, everything seems to be working just fine, no light burn. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/OriginalETS/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/emeraldseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/emeraldtriangleseeds/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/emeraldtriangleseeds https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/emerald-triangle-seeds

Aqui las tenemos ya trasplantadas y en su primer dia de 12/12.

Okay so I came up with this incredible method of training that I call "root lining".I figured this out years ago in outdoor season when a deer bulldozed through my med crop and knocked a sweet lady over, that started it all. The plant was completely parallel to the ground with roots growing out of the nodes where contact was made with the ground at the stock. Long story short she ended up being a 14 footer with 6 foot whale dicks! That gave me this little idea that's been non stop producing top quality fat resinous buds. This method increases nutrient uptake and makes a huge difference in quality and size. I essentially main line, really low to the ground, until the stock makes full contact with the ground. I then gently rub the downside of the stock with the back of a butter knife to speed things up and break down the chlorophyll layer. Then I add remo roots gel (see all videos). I then add a sprinkle of coco on top just to barely cover the stock (dont add to thick of a layer as this might "choke" and rot the stock) and mist that spot 2-3 times a day. 3 days later and boom! She'll be pumping out roots and go into full beast mode. Give it a try and you'll never go back!

The plant was looking a bit sad after transplant and the defoliation and training I've been doing. The shape is looking quite good now so I'll leave it alone to do its thing for a couple of weeks before flipping to flower.

I was getting kind of bored with Autos, so I decided to try out my first Photo Run. I had 2 autos going when I got these beans in the mail, so I gave them away because I couldn't wait to try a photo. I started her in a glass of water, and then transferred her to a solo cup. I am planning to transfer her to a 5.4 Gallon Airpot around day 21 or so. I am also hoping to build my first Mainline, as I have only been running Manifolds on the autos due to time constraints. My plan is to only grow one plant and spread her out and try to fill a 4X4 tent with fat sticky colas. I will use super-cropping, LST, defoliation, and lollipopping in addition to building the mainline. I learned alot from growing autos, but now I feel like its time to try out Photoperiods. I have heard very good things about Ethos Genetics, and this strain in particular, so I am super excited to see what she can do. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze On!

nice strain with a rich terpene profile! sweet, gelato like, hard hitting smoke! sadly my phenos had no banana taste but still very nice

Day 64. Heavy feed day, first 5 will get 1600 blast with EC going high as 3.0 ;)))))) If no burned leaves - Ill have huge buds, otherwise I will have 5 smallest girls on harvest day .... Fingers crossed ;)))) That's my last blast, I think I over calculated amount of Epsom salt... Should be in 1200 range, but it's my last BioBizz bottles and I can't remake new blend. Looking at them now - it looks like I haven't touch a leaf from them a week or so ago ... Insane ! I want buds !!! Will have to strip again, but I will do it in late flower, not now ... Day 65. They survived and loved it !!! Video shows and proves it ! Happy Growing !

This was an easy grow, and had some amazing results. This is some of my best homegrown to date ❤️ the ladies were easy to manage, no PM, pests or disease. The root balls were enormous, wasn’t much soil to recover. They got heavy in the end from the weight but managed to stay upright for the most part. They were big stretchers , prepare for that, scrog was a good way to go but some of the eager beavers got away from me, which ended in some massive colas. Overall easy to grow, no surprises and you won’t regret the results! 10/10 ❤️👊🤤

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something. 8/19 In the 40's last night. Hopefully that will help with the thrips. I was hurried and since today tops at 72° I only watered the 10th planet big mk ultra and the chem dog with preventative plant doctor. I'm not seeing hardly any septoria and if I do itsca random leaf. I mixed up 3tsp of citric acid and some Dawn in a 2 quart hand sprayer and treated the 10th planet that I thought had heat stress and the Pink kush in the ten gal that has the damage. I also treated a branch on my good tenth planet. It was the only branch with markings so I think I've got it early enough. I'm just wondering the best way to tackle this. The pink kush I'm sure, could handle spinosad. That strain is much later flowering. I'll see how the citriccacid works and go from there. If the other girls need water they'll get it when I get home alongcwith plant doctor. I've got some work to do. I'll keep this updated. Opinions are always welcome.
