28.05.2026 Tja, Partypeople, es ist soweit. Heute ist ihr letzter Tag an der Sonne und ich glaub, die Nachbarn freut es. Sie riecht nämlich gewaltig und der ganze Block darf daran teilhaben 😅. Ich bin wahrlich zufrieden mit dieser Sorte, aber das war von einer Skunk ja auch nicht anders zu erwarten. Habe eben die Trichome kontrolliert und ja, heute Abend wird sie gefällt werden. Und jedes Mal das gleiche Theater, dass mir doch so schwer ums Herz wird 😔. Happy growing 🌸 💜

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno B 💨 Big Mama Is Still Here… And She's Getting Louder 👑🌸🔥 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And yes... I have a confession. 😂 This week, I got distracted by her sister. Because while Godfather OG Pheno A decided to make herself VERY known with her smell... I was apparently too busy paying attention to the loud girl. 😂👃💨 And somehow... Big Mama Pheno B escaped the camera. Again. 😂📸❌ So no dedicated photo session for her this week. But before anyone thinks we've forgotten about this beautiful girl... NO. Absolutely not. She's right there. She's clearly visible in the room footage. And honestly, anyone who has been following this diary already knows exactly who she is. She's Big Mama. She's big. She's beautiful. She's present. She's substantial. She's doing exactly what she has been doing throughout this entire journey. And she's still looking damn good. 👑🌿🌸 So this week we're going to do something slightly different. No photo gallery. No individual portraits. Just a little reminder that the Big Mama is still standing there in the jungle... doing her thing... and quietly becoming louder herself. Let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 WEEK 13 – BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you already know this girl. You don't need me to introduce her. You know who she is. Godfather OG Pheno B. Our Big Mama. 😂👑🌿 She's one of those plants where you don't need a close-up photograph to recognize her. You see her in the room footage... and immediately: "There she is." 😂 She's got presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. She's got that unmistakable Godfather OG personality. And even though this week doesn't have her usual collection of dedicated photographs, she hasn't disappeared. Not even close. She's still right there. Still developing. Still filling her space. Still moving toward the final stages. And still looking beautiful. ──────────────────────── 📸 YES… WE MISSED THE PHOTO SESSION Let's just admit it. 😂 This week... the camera didn't make it to Big Mama. Somehow, I got distracted with her sister and the whole "WHO THE HELL IS MAKING THIS MUCH SMELL?" situation. 😂👃🔥 And by the time I realized it... the dedicated photo session was already gone. So instead of pretending otherwise, we're simply documenting it honestly. There are no dedicated photos of Pheno B this week. But she is clearly visible in the room videos. And if you've been following these reports... you know exactly what you're looking at. You know her structure. You know her position. You know her size. You know those flowers. You know Big Mama. 👑🌿 And next week? She's getting her full photographic treatment again. Promise. 😂📸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT IS STILL DOING HER THING And honestly... that's probably the most important part. The missing photographs don't mean anything changed in the plant. She's still developing. Still flowering. Still maturing. Still filling her space. Still doing what she has been doing for weeks. We're now deep into the later flowering stage, and the plant is increasingly focused on finishing what she started. The structure is already established. The flowers are there. The plant has spent the entire grow building herself. Now we're watching that work mature. And Big Mama is doing exactly that. Quietly. Consistently. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S STILL GOT PRESENCE Some plants you have to search for. Not this girl. 😂👑 Even in the room footage... she stands out. She's big. She's substantial. She's got flowers everywhere. And she has that presence that we've been talking about since the beginning. That's one of the reasons I gave her the nickname Big Mama in the first place. She earned it. And she still does. She's not suddenly becoming smaller because we forgot to photograph her. 😂 She's still occupying her space. She's still making herself noticed. And she's still one of those girls that you look at when you walk into the room. "Yep." There's Big Mama. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL Even without this week's close-up gallery, the room footage gives us enough of a look to see that the flowers are continuing their development. They're becoming more mature. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The plant is progressing toward the final stages. And when you know this phenotype from the previous weeks, you can recognize her expression immediately. That's something I really love about these individual diaries. After twelve-plus weeks of watching a plant... you learn her. You don't need a label every time. You know the structure. You know the way she fills the room. You know the way her flowers develop. You know her personality. And Big Mama has become one of those plants for me. ──────────────────────── 💨 AND WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL? Now... this is where things get interesting. Because after being distracted by her sister... I started comparing. 😂👃 And I have to say... Pheno B is definitely not silent. She's not as loud as her sister. Or at least... she doesn't seem to be right now. Her aroma isn't hitting me in quite the same way. But... the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty damn sure she's getting louder by the day. 😂🔥👃 That's what I'm noticing. She's developing her own aromatic presence. Maybe she's simply taking her time. Maybe she's going to surprise us later. Maybe her sister is just naturally more aggressive with the aroma. Or maybe... Big Mama is simply warming up. 😂 And if she keeps increasing at this rate... we might have another loud girl on our hands. ──────────────────────── 👃 SAME FAMILY – DIFFERENT VOLUME This is another beautiful little lesson from the 8×8 Adventure. Two phenotypes. Same general genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environment. And yet... different expressions. Even the aroma can tell us something. Pheno A is currently making herself VERY obvious. Pheno B? She's more reserved. For now. 😂👃 But the underlying profile feels similar. And that's exactly the sort of thing I love seeing. Because we're not simply asking: "What does Godfather OG smell like?" We're asking: "What does THIS Godfather OG phenotype smell like?" And then... "What does her sister smell like?" And suddenly the answer becomes much more interesting. ──────────────────────── 💚 BIG MAMA IS STILL LOOKING HEALTHY Despite this week's photographic failure... she's still giving us a beautiful overall impression. She's still carrying herself well. She's still developing. She's still got that substantial structure. And she's still doing exactly what we want her to do at this stage: Finish. There's no reason to manufacture work. There's no reason to interfere just because we don't have a camera in our hands. 😂 Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply observe. And when we look at Big Mama... she's telling us she's okay. She's continuing forward. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE NUTRITION IS STILL MOVING TOWARD THE FINISH As with the rest of the room, we're continuing the gradual transition toward the later stages. The mineral base has already been reduced. Terra Bloom is around: 🌱 2.0 ml/L with the room EC around: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The approach remains gradual. No dramatic overnight changes. No "everything stops tomorrow." Just a progressive transition while we watch the plants. And Big Mama is still actively developing. So we're watching her. Listening to her. And allowing her to finish in her own rhythm. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING The upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup remains in place. Two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. Controlled output. Approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug With approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Big Mama is still right underneath that artificial sun. And she's still doing what she has always done... turning photons into plant. 😂☀️🌿👑 More capability. More control. Same room. Same experiment. Different genetic response. That's the 8×8. ──────────────────────── ☀️ BIG PLANT – THREE-DIMENSIONAL LIGHT And once again, Big Mama is a perfect example of why I don't think about lighting as simply: "How much light does the tent get?" She's a big, three-dimensional plant. Different flowers are at different heights. Different leaves are positioned differently. Different parts of the canopy receive different amounts of direct light. The upper canopy is around that ~1,500 PPFD range. Deeper areas naturally receive less. And the Lumiflora lighting continues giving us another layer deeper into that structure. We're not lighting a flat table. We're lighting a jungle. 😂🌿☀️ And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of her space. ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT ANSWERS This remains the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental philosophy. Shared lighting. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. One grower. And twelve completely different answers. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us hers. She's big. She's vigorous. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing quickly. And now... she's becoming increasingly aromatic. Maybe not as loud as her sister. Yet. 😂👃🔥 But definitely heading in that direction. ──────────────────────── 📸 NEXT WEEK, SHE'S GETTING HER SPOTLIGHT BACK And I promise... next week we're correcting the photographic crime. 😂📸👑 Big Mama will be back with: 🌿 Full-plant photographs 🌸 Flower portraits 💎 Close-ups 📸 Her individual progression 👑 Her full spotlight Because she deserves it. This week was simply one of those weird moments where the camera went toward one sister... and somehow forgot the other. It happens. We're human. 😂 But Big Mama isn't going anywhere. She's right there. Still shining. Still growing. Still beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8×8 continues under the same general setup: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output — ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature — ~26.5–27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~25–26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25–26°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature — ~25°C ⚗️ pH — approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ — ~693 ppm 💧 Irrigation — ~1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size — 15 L Same room. Same environment. Same artificial sun. Same irrigation. Same nutritional transition. Different Big Mama. And she's still doing beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💨 IS BIG MAMA GOING TO GET LOUDER? That's now another question I'm genuinely curious about. Because I think she is. Her sister is currently stealing the aromatic spotlight. No question. 😂🔥👃 But Pheno B has a very similar profile. And I'm noticing more and more presence from her as the days pass. So I'm not counting her out. Not even remotely. Maybe she's just taking the scenic route. Maybe she needs a little more time. Maybe her final expression will surprise us. That's the fun part. We don't know yet. And I'm not going to invent an ending before the plant gives us one. Let's watch. Let's smell. Let's document. And eventually... let's find out. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FINAL CHAPTERS ARE GETTING CLOSER We're getting deeper into the run now. The flowers are established. The plants are mature. The colours are changing. The resin is becoming more visible. And the nutritional programme is beginning its gradual transition. Big Mama is moving along with the rest of the room. Some girls are ahead. Some are behind. Some are louder. Some are quieter. Some are changing colour. Some are staying greener. And that's exactly why this project has been so much fun. There's no single timeline. There's twelve. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED A PHOTO TO BE BIG MAMA This week has actually reminded me of something. The photographs are important. They're documentation. They're the visual record. But they're not the plant. The plant is still there. And when you have followed her for twelve weeks... you know her. You recognize her. You know what you're looking at. And Big Mama is one of those girls. She's unmistakable. She's substantial. She's beautiful. She's present. She's doing exactly what she can do. And honestly... that's enough. The photographs will come next week. For now... we let her shine in the room footage. 👑🌿💚 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS – THE BIG MAMA IS STILL SHINING Week 13. And yes... we got distracted. 😂 Her sister started making enough noise with her aroma to steal the attention for a moment. And somehow... Big Mama lost her photo session. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. 😂👑📸 But the good news? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still present. She's still developing. She's still filling her space. She's still carrying those beautiful flowers. And she's still becoming increasingly aromatic. She's not as loud as her sister... at least not yet. 😂👃 But the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty convinced she's getting louder by the day. So perhaps we're simply watching the beginning of another aromatic story. And that's something I'm very interested in. Because this girl has already shown us so much. She's been one of the substantial plants in this room from the beginning. She's been vigorous. She's been beautiful. She's claimed her space. She's developed her own expression. And now... she's approaching the final chapter. So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's simply watch. And next week... we bring the camera back. 😂📸👑 Big Mama gets her full spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Until then... Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Keep filling that corner. Keep developing those beautiful flowers. And keep getting louder. 😂👃💨👑 We're watching. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. 💚🌱 Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Godfather OG genetics and document these individual phenotypes throughout the journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this run. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. More lighting capability. More control. More photons. And another fascinating variable for this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to think about this garden as the three-dimensional space that it really is. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following these girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this crazy adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's still writing hers as Big Mama. 👑🌿🌸💎 This week she may not have had the dedicated photographs she deserved... but she's still right there. Still big. Still beautiful. Still present. Still developing. Still shining. And possibly... getting louder. 😂👃🔥 Next week... we bring the camera back. Big Mama gets her portraits. Her close-ups. Her flower shots. Her full report. And the spotlight goes right back where it belongs. On her. 👑💚🌸 Until next week... Growers Love, my friends. 🌱💚 Happy growing, take care everyone... and Big Mama? I'm sorry about the camera. 😂📸👑 We'll make it up to you next week. See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥👑💨

29.8. Plants look just amazing! I dont add any nutritions... Just bionova powder nutritions in start which i get from zamnesia 💪 maybe i found right nutritions for my plants 31.8. I will leave those beautys for few days more 😍 i cant wait to taste this buds! 2.9. Another week more and they are done 🤟 so far im impressed 🚀

Day 34/35 ladies lookin great, iam feedin em more now acid dough in the front and black domina in the back always lookin for the right topping but not top them too much tryin to tie them down a lil and did some supercropping

Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

VARIEDAD EN FASE DE TEST. NO DISPONIBLE COMERCIALMENTE. RESULTADOS EN EVALUACIÓN POR KANNABIA. Ya estamos en plena floración y conectamos aire acondicionado para mantener la temperatura diurna, he incluso hacer que pasen algo de frío controlado en fase nocturna. Subimos la concentración de BIO Flores. Mantenemos las luminarias al 100%.

So despite many obstacles and hurdles, we are on the last week of flowering hopefully the heat stays down for the next few days, and I can get some color into these nugs the sativa Room may need a few more weeks no big deal. This is typical of sativa leaning strains. this will give me a bit of a stagger in between harvest so I don’t have to do all the work in one day which is a good thing .

T- 23 days

My first experience with Sweet Seeds was with some Gorilla Girl photo that I took a chance on. My only comment on one of the pheno's I received is WOW!!!!! So it is no real surprise to me that I was so impressed with the resilience of this strain and the buds she grew. She ran 84 days and was worth the wait......almost jumped the gun about 5 or 6 days early. She was strong all the way through and at first was the one I threw in and we will just see what happens.....she was a free seed. In the end she received a lot of my staring and salivating😄😄💪👍🙏 Update April 2020............ The buds have firming up and the curing continues. The citrus has come through much stronger after 4 weeks cure. She was hung on March 1st and dried for 7 days, into jars on March 8th. The piney citrus is very prominent now. She comes on quick for a buzz and is fairly balanced in my opionion and not overly energetic but not lethargic either.A nice balanced all day smoke for myself. Great flavours coming through now......I am a fan of piney smoke😃👍 So the buds have ended up nice and firm, slows down the grinder😁, powerful and lasts over an hour plus I have a high tolerance, nice eye appeal and pungent smell........Love it Sweet Seeds!!!!!! You have done awesome with this Autoflower..........she is a keeper.........but there is the issue with auto flowers👌😃 Sweet Seeds rocked it........if you are looking for a great yielding, resilient, dense bud plant she is worth your consideration! Sweet smokes Apolo!!

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

Pulled some of the dropping leaves that were more crunchy than soft.

Soo as promised I got some close ups! And a couple videos! Please like and follow! I’m wondering if I cut nutes out a little too early because trichomes are like 90% milky but only a few Amber still. Maybe 2% amber. She is doing awesome and I honestly can’t wait to try her out it was well worth the wait! Let me know what you all think!

Its that time of week again for our weekly update. Starting week 7 and im really impressed with this grow. The bud sites are started to form nicely any previous problems I had with her with a PH issue has now gone thankfully. Smells wonderful growing big and strong just trying to work out how much I may get from this plant. Any guesses out there as to what you may think ? 🤔 🌱

Bienvenido a la aventura compañero 🛸❄️✨💐 Una semana espectacular para nuestra Do-Si-Dos de @Zammi_official en combinación con la gama gloriosa de @Plagron La ayuda en este diario ha sido de la mano del grower y amigo @noNick123 . Recomendando siempre cosas positivas, gran teoría ✨ Espero que Zamnesia tome en cuenta su participación a pesar del inconveniente ocurrido con el frío, hermano 💪🏽 Subimos la temperatura del agua antes de preparar la dosis, 23 C⁰ con 450 PPM aprox, inicial por riego. Bajamos las dosis considerablemente y llegamos a un ppm de unos 800. Entiendo ahora que significaba cuando @noNick123 recomendó calentar el agua antes de la mezcla... El día jueves 11/1/24 comenzamos a regar solo con agua. Esta planta se ha vuelto una bestia creadora de resina, ahora la mantendremos en este estado y quizás necesite ser alimentada alguna vez más 🤔 tengo ganas de cortarla, pero la dejaremos a a que madure un poco 😌 Los tricomas están 70% lechosos 20% transparentes y 10% ámbar. La lámpara ahora está más alta para no dañar ninguna glándula ❄️👌 Por ahora esto es todo, estoy aprovechando todo esto para ir eligiendo la nueva tanda de semillas a cultivar 🤩 Quiero hacer una extracción con esta próxima cosecha, no guardar tanta materia vegetal en casa. Alguien conoce una manera casera sin mucha inversión?! Oil, dry, bubble hash... NO CHARAS 😁 Un abrazo fuerte para todos y muchos ánimos 💐 siempre hay tiempo para hacerlo mejor, para darle al siguiente paso pisando firme Saludos!

Trying to get 70% RH but they are so small and don´t transpire so much, plus the indoor is quite large for this babies and I don´t have a humidifier. Just have to spray them a bit all the time to make them feel humid enough. RH is actually 60% but that´s OK, it will increase eventually when this babies grow. Today May 16 I got a little humidifier and that mantains humidity around 60% without spraying water. I still spray a little water during the day to make them feel more comfy. I also decided to switch some light bulbs off because it was too much light for this babies. Just let 3 white bulbs and the 2 full spectrum bulbs on, 60 cm above the babies. That was it for the first week of this 3 gums. Gum 3 has already a name if you noticed, I'll be thinking of the names for the other girls.

Coming along nicely. Large number of bud sites, starting to grow but still far from mature. Nice aroma every time I open the tent. Starting to become a bit frosty.

Finally set up my little grow tent and moved in my bag seed plant . I’ve switched it to a 12/12 cycle and started adding jungle juice bloom from advanced nutrients to her feedings .

Another week down, progressing, just starting to show some orange'ing up on the hairs. Stressed it a little with a bit of a crack in the main stem w/ some LST that wasn't so L but it seems to be superficial enough.
