Wow look at her grow we are in the second week of her flowering stretch and she looks amazing. Smells good already omg super excited about this one ☝️🏽

COLOMBIAN JACK by KANNABIA Week #16 Overall Week #5 Flower This week she's doing good no issues she's getting some nice looking and smelling buds!! Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com COLOMBIAN JACK

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

Aug 9: defoliated again to remove lower branches and shaded fan leaves that can prevent air circulation. She is doing great with the buds thickening fast. Starting to get smelly too. Got the UV lights out today. This helps Edmonton in August or September be more like California in June or July. Maybe not that effective but that’s the idea. Second year using the UV lights and worked great last year. Aug 10: UV lights going again today.

Overall the plant yielded good dense nugs with strong smell, if your planning on running these seeds make sure you have a good germination rate so you can get at least 1 good pheno with good color on it. This strain was very resistant to deficiencies, large amount of root development and decent lateral growth. I will post nug shots after dry and trim

So week 9, devils #1 and #2 are scheduled to be harvested on Wednesday 5/9, last flush was 5/4/2019. The purple fade is quite a spectacle, Devil #2 is definitely a green pheno and absolutely refuses to turn purple but smells and looks fantastic. I’m hoping to beat the 44g per average at 400g/m2. Devil #1 looks to be heaviest of all the girls hoping to break 2oz with that one. Still paying close attention to #3 her foxtailing is kinda of a bummer but looking at other diaries it looks to be a trait found in some devils. Devil # 4 is still chugging along throwing tons of new pistils and still a couple of weeks away. She just got her 2nd to last feed (75% nutes) most likely but time will tell. For my trim mostly thinking I’ll do a dry trim to try an protect the buds as much as possible 5-10 days hang dry and into the mason jars for a long slow cure hopefully. I still update with devil #3 and #4 until they get the chop. Photos updated every 2 days or so most likely a video of the girls coming down on 3/9-3/10, stay tuned! Devils #1 and 2 had all their fan leaves removed today may wait a few days to give the lowers time to fatten but both will be harvested by Friday.

Hello Growmies, We have reached week 16 with our Epic Buzz plants, marking a significant moment in their growth journey. This week, Epic Buzz Pheno #3 showcased its beautiful floral maturity before it was harvested. The vibrant, frost-laden buds filled the tent with a sweet and pungent aroma, highlighting the strain's complex terpene profile. This pheno was particularly lush, sporting richly colored foliage and trichome-packed buds that are a testament to the careful nurturing it received throughout its lifecycle. Pheno #3 was harvested just after these last photos were taken, with a final wet weight of approximately 500 grams. The intricacies in the colors and textures of the buds were remarkable, showing hints of purple amidst the green, under a thick coat of crystalline trichomes. As for Pheno #1 and #2, they remain in the flowering stage, developing their profiles and will soon follow in #3’s footsteps to complete their cycle. We look forward to updating the final harvest weight once these remaining phenos have been processed. This stage is crucial as we observe the subtle differences between each pheno, helping in our ongoing efforts to optimize growth conditions and pheno selection for future cycles. Stay tuned for more updates as we close this chapter on Epic Buzz and begin the next cycle of our cultivation journey. Stay lifted, Salokin

Der halk wird immer mehr zum halk Anfang 5 woche nach der erste sichbare weise trichomen und sie wächst brutal Der stam dürchmeser betregt 4,5 cm habe sie auf 3 triebe und der haupttrib behalten sie hat eine breite von 1,6 miter und eine höhe von 2 miter

Here we are ready for the right harvest on the last day of the contest. I am very satisfied with these plants, they are over half an ounce per plant but it can even reach 70-80 in my opinion. Wet cut is scary. Beautiful strain with different phenotypes, the two tall girls are already in the dry room, these two are pure fire. Big effort during the harvest but a lot of grass. The resin you'll notice is there as well and we can't wait to taste it.

This week the blueberry exploded with growth. It's spreading out and covering the other two plants. It's a little droopy in the picture because I photoed it after it was in the dark for six hours. Even with its rapid growth this week, overall, the blueberry lags behind the critical mango CBD and the cream plants which are flowering. There's also a little bit of brown on the upper fan leaves indicating a possible Mg deficiency. Until recently, I've had a very conservative nutrient solution. I've increased the Mg from 2.5ml/gal to 4.0 ml/gal which is well within the limits others have used with good results. My total ppm is still less than 1000.. I've been having problems with my ph meter this past week so bought a new one. When I compared the two within a specific standardized ph solution, the meter I was using was off by .3, meaning, I've been using water that's at about 6.1 instead of 5.8. I'm not sure how long, but I calibrated it a couple weeks ago. Moving forward I'll see if this helps. I just received some Armor Si (silica) to add to my mix. Next time I'll use it throughout my entire grow. Otherwise, the plants are doing well. The cream and critical mango are stacking buds on their main cola and the branch colas are starting to form. Trichomes are forming on the flowering plants.

Well I made a few upgrades since last week. First I went ahead and invested in a nice A/C unit. I also, improved the exhaust setup. I went ahead and took a plant out and germinated another ( I wanted to add a different strain. Lol). The ladies seem to be doing pretty well. They are all on their 4th or 5th node. I am waiting until the 6th node and then do thier first topping. Thanks for all the support! 😃😃😃

Messed up not trimming lower buds really fluffy but still, branches were lst to long and buds got heavy in branchs

May 4th - Day 84 : The babies are doing great. They're drinking good. I'm just thinking one tent might be too small for two plants as the main one is pressing the second one against the walls. Starting to keep an eye open on one of them that I think might be ready. I'm not saying which one, want to do a proper reveal aha.

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Folder 10 Frosted Guava – Plant A | Week 4 | The Compact Contender Begins to Bloom Every phenotype tells its own story, and that is exactly why this 8×8 Adventure continues to fascinate me. Growing twelve different genetics under the same environment using the 12/12 From Seed technique has become a constant lesson in how differently each cultivar interprets identical conditions. Some immediately stretch toward the light, while others choose patience, investing their energy into structure before committing to vertical growth. Frosted Guava Plant A clearly belongs to the second group. Rather than racing upward, she has spent these first weeks building an incredibly dense, compact framework. Looking at her today, it’s easy to understand why this phenotype caught my attention. Every internode remains tight, every branch is stacked close together, and the entire plant carries an impressive amount of healthy foliage without sacrificing vigor. She may not be the tallest lady in the tent, but she’s quietly building what looks to become an exceptionally productive little bush. The most exciting part? Despite her compact stature, she has officially begun announcing that flowering is just around the corner. ⸻ 🌱 Building a Foundation Before the Stretch One of the things I enjoy most about documenting these grows is watching personality emerge before flowers ever appear. Frosted Guava Plant A has developed into exactly the kind of plant that rewards patience. Instead of producing long internodal spacing, she has focused on creating a dense network of future flowering sites. Looking closely, nearly every node is alive with vigorous new growth, and fresh shoots are beginning to compete for dominance. The canopy is naturally uniform, making future light penetration much easier than on taller, more open phenotypes. Sometimes growers become concerned when a plant doesn’t stretch early under 12/12, but genetics ultimately decide how that energy is distributed. In this case, the energy has clearly gone underground first into the roots, then into stem thickness, branching, and node production before committing to vertical growth. The result is a plant that already feels mature despite standing only around 25 cm tall. ⸻ ✂️ Gentle Low Stress Training Instead of aggressive manipulation, this phenotype has been guided with a much softer approach. Throughout the week I continued using simple leaf bending, leaf tucking and gentle repositioning to expose hidden growth tips. No unnecessary stress, no heavy defoliation—just encouraging light to reach every developing branch naturally. This technique has worked beautifully. Rather than removing valuable solar panels, the larger fan leaves are simply moved out of the way, allowing the lower shoots to receive enough light to become future flowering tops. Sometimes the simplest training methods are also the most effective. The goal isn’t forcing the plant into shape. The goal is helping her discover her own. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower One of the most enjoyable moments during a 12/12 From Seed project is seeing that unmistakable transition. This week those first pre-flower structures have become impossible to ignore. Tiny clusters are beginning to form across the upper nodes, the apical growth has changed shape, and the plant is slowly shifting away from vegetative expansion toward reproductive development. She isn’t waiting. Exactly as expected with this cultivation method, Frosted Guava is entering bloom while still maintaining a beautifully compact architecture. If the coming stretch remains moderate, this could easily become one of the densest canopies inside the entire 8×8 tent. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions This week the room remained remarkably stable despite the warm summer conditions. Grow Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 26°C • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • ⚗️ pH: 6.1 • ☁️ CO₂: 639 ppm • 💧 Daily Water Consumption: 1.1 L • ? Pot Size: 15 L • ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 Although daytime temperatures continue to push higher than ideal, the plants have responded exceptionally well. Healthy leaf posture, rich coloration, vigorous growth and strong transpiration all suggest that root-zone conditions remain stable enough to offset the environmental heat. Sometimes plants tell you far more than any environmental sensor can. And these leaves are telling me they’re happy. ⸻ Feeding Program The nutrition program remained intentionally balanced to support both continued vegetative development and the beginning of flower initiation. This week’s recipe consisted of: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L With an EC of 1.35, the feeding remains moderate while supplying everything needed to sustain healthy growth without pushing the plant harder than necessary. The rich green foliage suggests the balance is right where it should be. ⸻ 🔬 Phenotype Notes Looking over this week’s photographs, several characteristics stand out. The stem has thickened noticeably and provides an excellent foundation for future flower weight. Branch spacing remains extremely tight, giving the plant a naturally bushy appearance without requiring topping or more invasive training. The new growth is vibrant, healthy and full of energy, while the canopy remains surprisingly symmetrical despite only using leaf tucking. Perhaps the most interesting observation is just how many future flowering sites are already visible. Nearly every branch tip appears ready to contribute to the final canopy. She may not be trying to become the biggest plant. She may simply be trying to become one of the fullest. Sometimes that’s an even better strategy. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming week should be one of the most exciting yet. With flowering now beginning, I expect Frosted Guava Plant A to enter her stretch phase while continuing to produce additional flowering sites throughout the canopy. Training will remain gentle, focusing on canopy management rather than forcing structure. If she maintains this compact architecture while adding vertical growth, she could develop into one of the easiest plants in the room to manage. Every day she becomes a little more confident. And every week she gives another reason to be excited about what’s coming next. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Projects like this remind me why I love growing. No two plants ever read the same script. Even when sharing identical lighting, nutrition, temperatures and care, every genetic line chooses its own path. Frosted Guava Plant A has decided that patience comes first—building strength before height, structure before stretch, and now finally revealing the first signs that flowering has officially begun. Watching those decisions unfold is one of the greatest rewards of documenting every week of this journey. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing these exciting Frosted Guava genetics, Plagron for the reliable soil and nutrient line that keeps this entire project thriving, and Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful, even lighting that allows every phenotype to express its full potential. As always, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries platform for giving growers around the world a place to learn from one another, and to everyone who follows this 8×8 Adventure week after week. Your encouragement, questions, advice and enthusiasm continue to make this journey even more rewarding. Growers Love and see you all next week, as Frosted Guava Plant A takes her first real steps into bloom. 🌱💚
