Day 57 and looking forward to harvesting. Hoping to dry slowly. Gotta chop with others all at same time, so just waiting on this girl to wrap up. What do you think - she about ready for harvesting? Harvest day 60 Found seeds, nanners and pollen sack - fucking lame. we grow again another day! Likely will make bubble out of this stuff.

Day 36 - In the picture, I demonstrated the efforts I put in for leaf tucking, the back half, so that light can get deeper in the canopy. A had also removed all of the flowering cover crop to prevent it from going to seed. It served its purpose and now serves as compost for my outdoor garden. Day 37 - This plant does not slow down! It is maxed out, for my preference, horizontally. Stretch is slowing down. Bud growth will now be the focus. Day 38 - She really needed a haircut, so she got one. Everytime I do this, I honestly scare myself. I know the potential these plants have, but a mistake that would cause additional stress to the defol can change everything.. cover crop is also cut down and breaking down in my outdoor garden. One last spray down before buds appear and a good feeding to push her through this heavy strip. Love to see worms hanging out on the surface of the soil, breaking down all my top dresses. Day 39 - Day 40 - Day 41 - Day 42 -

13 Jun 2021 Continuing to flush my DarkStar Kush probably for another week at least. If I were following my original plan, I would be cutting her down today and starting the harvest. However, the runoff is still colored (not as much as it was, but still), and the TDS runoff was higher today than yesterday by almost 200 ppm. I’ve added new pics for this new week to show how she’s changing colors later in her life. She’s begging to be harvested, but I want to smoke her and not her nutrients! I’ve already waited this long, what’s another week or so. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. I gave her a gallon of water chilled to 49.2 degrees F, and gave her 20 drops of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH from its initial 8.2 to a final pH of 6.7. The TDS going in was 76 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.3, and TDS runoff was 1740 ppm (up from 1462 ppm yesterday). Tent temperature was 82 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. 14 Jun 2021 Continuing with the flush today. Feeding a gallon of 45.5 degree F water with nothing more than 22 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to make it just right. Initial pH was 8.4, and adjusted down to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.4, and TDS runoff was 1377 ppm. Working in the right direction at least. TDS runoff yesterday was 1740 ppm, so a reduction of 363 ppm today, but still a ways to go. Tent temperature was 82 degrees F and humidity was 47%. She’s looking more and more ready for harvest each day! Uploaded some pics of her colorful foliage today along with some new trichome pics. They’re almost all cloudy/milky with some amber interspersed here and there. Come on flush!! Do your job! 😜 16 Jun 2021 Went out of town on a day trip yesterday, so no watering was done, but I’m back today to continue the flush. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 43%. Thought I’d start off backwards today in my note from the norm. I gave a gallon of cold water (51 degrees F) with 20 drops of pH DOWN to adjust the initial pH of 8.2 to 6.5. The TDS going in was 83 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.5, which to me is promising, and the TDS runoff was 814 ppm. That’s a decrease of 563 ppm since the last watering/flush on the 14th. Hopefully in just a couple of days I’ll be able to start the harvest because she is READY!! I took more trichome pics today which were marvelous! They are perfect (to my untrained and inexperienced eye)! Hopefully I’m just days away!! 17 Jun 2021 Continuing the flush another day. The TDS runoff is still decreasing a little bit every day. Today I’ll be uploading a video instead of a bunch of pics. I already have a lot for this week, so I figured I’d do something different. I’m still giving chilled, and properly pH’ed fresh water. Nothing else. So, today I gave a gallon of H2O chilled to 51F. The initial pH was 8.4, so I added 22 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.5, and TDS was 758 ppm. There is a 56 ppm decrease from yesterday, and I was hoping for much more, but it is what it is. I’ll keep going till it is better till harvest. Looking at the plant, it’s losing several leaves that are just drying up and falling off. Not a lot, but about as much as should be expected at this stage. The plant, trichomes, and buds are ready for harvest, but I want to make sure that I get all the nutrients out before I do it. Thankfully, I’m a patient person! 19 Jun 2021 I’ve been doing the flush for 2 weeks now, and the TDS runoff is still measuring 647 ppm. Honestly, I don’t know what the level should be for the harvest, but I’m getting to the point where I just want to go ahead and do it. Her buds are looking awesome, and many of the sugar leaves have turned dark purple, but she’s losing a lot of her bigger leaves. None of the ones around any buds, so I’m not concerned with it that much. However, I don’t want the trichomes to get more amber. The vast majority are milky, which is what I’m looking for with only a smattering of amber here and there. She’s just right!! Anyway, I gave a gallon of water at 48.7F with an initial pH of 8.3. I added 21 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.7. The TDS going in was 71 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.7 (it has consistently been the same or just a decimal point off from that going in for the last week or so). The runoff TDS was 647 ppm as noted above. Tent temperature was 84F, and humidity was 48%.

Harvest time! Finally! Super happy with this grow! I'll update harvest with pics of jarred buds after it dried 💚 Last values were 200 ppm💚

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 15 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B 🌸 A More Colourful Goodbye — The Compact Girl Finishes Her Story in Her Own Style Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And before we get into this beautiful girl, I want to start with a little explanation. First of all, apologies for the slightly different format of these reports lately. There is quite a lot happening behind the scenes, and with so many individual plants, phenotypes, photographs, observations and different stages of development, I've decided to give every girl the space she deserves. So, for anyone joining us for the first time, let's take a moment to explain what we're doing here. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — A LITTLE RECAP FOR NEWCOMERS This project is a full 12/12-from-seed experiment. Yes, you read that correctly! We're exploring what happens when different genetics and individual phenotypes share the same general environment under a 12/12 light schedule from the beginning. No traditional extended vegetative period. No separate lighting schedules for different plants. Just one shared room, one general environmental approach, and a collection of different genetic expressions developing alongside one another. And that's precisely where things get interesting. Some plants stretch considerably. Some remain compact. Some develop quickly, while others take their time. Some finish earlier, some need longer, and even plants from the same cultivar can show noticeably different characteristics. That's why we're documenting each plant individually. Although several girls share the same genetics, each phenotype has her own diary, photographs, observations and development timeline. We want every report to tell a complete story on its own. Someone following Pheno A shouldn't need to search through Pheno B's diary to understand what's happening. And someone discovering Pheno B halfway through the project should be able to follow her journey from beginning to end. There will naturally be some overlap between reports, because these plants share the same room and many of the same conditions. But their individual stories are worth documenting separately. Same room. Same general conditions. Different genetics, different expressions, and sometimes very different personalities. That's the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── 💙 BLUEBERRY MUFFIN PHENO B — HER OWN KIND OF FINALE And now... Let's talk about this beautiful little lady! Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. 😂💙 If you've been following her diary, you already know that she was never particularly interested in competing with the taller girls. She's been compact throughout the run, developing at her own pace and generally giving us the impression that she has absolutely no intention of rushing anything. And honestly, she stayed true to that personality right until the end. But there is something I particularly like about the way this girl finished. Compared with her sister, Pheno B developed a more colourful expression towards the end of her journey. The difference is especially interesting when we look at the flowers closely. Two Blueberry Muffins. Same general environment. Same overall treatment. Two individual phenotypes. And two slightly different final expressions. That's exactly the kind of detail I want to preserve in these diaries. Because if we simply photographed the two plants together and called them Blueberry Muffin, we'd miss part of the story. Pheno B deserves her own spotlight. And today, we're giving it to her. 💙🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌈 A LITTLE MORE COLOUR IN THE FINAL CHAPTER One of the things that immediately caught my attention was the colour development. Compared with Pheno A, this girl finished with a more colourful appearance. And I absolutely love seeing these differences between sisters. The final photographs give us a beautiful look at the flowers, their different shades, the pistils, and the individual structures that developed throughout the run. There is something particularly rewarding about looking back at the photographs from the early weeks and comparing them with what we have in front of us now. At the beginning, we were looking at a small plant under a 12/12 schedule. Then came the development of her structure. The first flowers. The stacking. The gradual changes in the flowers. And eventually, this. A compact Blueberry Muffin with her own personality and a more colourful finish than her sister. No need to make her story bigger than it is. She's beautiful exactly as she is. 💙🌈🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE MACRO WORLD — THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET REALLY INTERESTING Now, my friends... Let's get closer. A lot closer. 😂🔬 This report includes quite a collection of photographs, and I wanted to give the flowers the attention they deserve. We've gone deep into the details with our macro photography and focus-stacking work. And when I say deep, I mean DEEP. We're not only looking at the overall flower structure. We're exploring individual details that are almost impossible to appreciate in a normal photograph. The trichomes. The resin-covered surfaces. The pistils. The different textures. The tiny structures surrounding the flowers. And some of the less conventional subjects that most people probably wouldn't think of photographing. We even included root photography and focus-stacking experiments. Because why stop at the flowers? 😂🌱🔬 The roots are part of the story too! For anyone unfamiliar with focus stacking, it's a photographic technique where multiple images are captured at different focus distances and combined to produce a photograph with a greater depth of field. At macro magnifications, the depth of field can become incredibly shallow. A tiny change in focus can make a huge difference. By combining multiple photographs, we can reveal much more detail across a small subject than a single image would normally show. And that's what makes this kind of photography so fascinating. We're not simply taking a close-up. We're exploring a miniature world that is already there, waiting to be discovered. 📸🔬💙 ──────────────────────── ❄️ TRICHOMES, RESIN AND THE LITTLE DETAILS If there is one thing this photo collection makes particularly clear, it's how much detail there is to appreciate in these flowers. The trichomes are everywhere in our close-up photographs. Different structures, different angles, different levels of focus, and a completely different perspective from what we see when looking at the whole plant. Some of these photographs are really something else. And I particularly enjoy the way the macro work reveals the relationship between the flower surface, the trichomes and the surrounding plant structures. You can spend quite some time looking at these images. And that's exactly the point. Sometimes we become so focused on the overall plant that we forget just how much is happening at a microscopic scale. There's an entire little world hiding in those flowers. And this girl gave us plenty of opportunities to explore it. ❄️🔬🌸 ──────────────────────── 🦋 COLOURFUL WINGS AND UNEXPECTED VISITORS And then we have some of my favourite little discoveries from this photo session. Those beautiful colourful wings! Some of the macro photographs capture tiny details that are easy to overlook when looking at the plant normally. The colours, reflections and delicate structures make for some fascinating images. And, of course, we also have our little visitors. Fungus gnats caught on the sticky traps. 😂? Not exactly the guests we invited to the photography session, but apparently they wanted to participate. Jokes aside, they're part of the real-world observations from the room, and I like documenting what we actually encounter rather than pretending everything is always perfectly staged. Not every photograph needs to be glamorous. Sometimes the little details tell us something about the environment around the plants too. And sometimes they simply make us laugh. 😂🌱 ──────────────────────── 🌿 ONE CULTIVAR, TWO SISTERS, TWO DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS I want to make a point of highlighting the difference between Pheno A and Pheno B. Their diaries naturally share some similarities. They belong to the same cultivar. They shared the same general environment. They followed the same overall approach throughout the run. But their final appearances weren't identical. Pheno B developed a more colourful finish than her sister. And that's a lovely distinction to have documented. This is one of the reasons I enjoy keeping individual phenotype records. A cultivar name gives us a starting point, but it doesn't tell us everything about how an individual plant will express herself. Two plants can share a genetic background and still develop different structures, colours, flowering patterns and individual characteristics. We're not trying to decide which sister is better. We're simply documenting what each one gave us. Pheno A has her own story. Pheno B has hers. And both deserve to be remembered individually. 💙🌸 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ARTIFICIAL SUN — SAME LIGHTING ECOSYSTEM Throughout this journey, the lighting environment has remained part of the shared setup. Our Future of Grow Black Series LEDs provide the main lighting, supported by the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that expanded the lighting capability of the room. After introducing the extra fixtures, we adjusted their output to approximately 59% from the plug. Our upper-canopy reference was approximately 1,500 PPFD, with actual intensity varying according to plant height and position. The idea was never simply to throw more light into the room. It was to have additional lighting capability and flexibility without needing to operate every fixture at maximum output. And once again, it's interesting to remember that Pheno A and Pheno B shared this same general lighting environment. Same photons. Same artificial sun. Different plants. Different expressions. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. 💡🌱🙏 ──────────────────────── ❤️ A LITTLE RED LIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT We're also documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. This has been part of the lighting routine we're exploring during this run. As discussed in previous reports, red and far-red wavelengths interact with plant photoreceptors, including the phytochrome system. It's important, however, not to confuse different lighting treatments or assume that one automatically produces the effects of another. The classic Emerson effect, for example, describes enhanced photosynthetic activity under particular combinations of red and far-red light. That is not the same thing as claiming that a short end-of-day red-light treatment automatically produces the Emerson effect. The spectrum, intensity, timing and conditions matter. And I prefer to keep the science honest. We're documenting what we're doing, exploring the subject and learning along the way. No magical promises. Just curiosity and observation. 🔬💡 ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE FINAL CHAPTER — KEEPING THE SAME GENERAL APPROACH As with the other plants in the room, Pheno B shared the same general environmental and nutritional approach throughout this stage. The room continued under the established 12/12 schedule, with the same lighting ecosystem and overall project conditions. There was no separate environmental strategy created specifically for this phenotype. That's important to remember when looking at the differences between the sisters. They weren't given two completely different environments to produce two different appearances. They shared the same general conditions, and we're documenting the individual expressions that developed. For this final chapter, the focus is no longer on introducing new changes. It's on documenting what we have. The flowers. The colours. The structure. The macro details. And the complete journey from seed to finish. 💙🌿 ──────────────────────── 🎬 A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK — SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT REPORT! And now, a little teaser... Some of you might have noticed a few photographs that look a little different from the usual plant and macro photography. That's intentional. I've included a small behind-the-scenes preview of the dried flowers. Just enough to give everyone a glimpse of what is coming next. Because the next report will take us into another part of the journey. We'll be looking at the dried buds, giving them their own attention and documenting the next stage of this girl's story. I don't want to reveal everything just yet. 😂💙 Let's leave a little something for the next chapter! But I thought it would be nice to give everyone a small preview rather than keeping all those photographs hidden until the next update. So consider this a little appetizer. The main course is coming. 🌸📸✨ ──────────────────────── 🔬 WHY ALL THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MATTER One thing I really want to highlight is that this project isn't only about growing different plants. It's also about documenting them. And documentation doesn't have to stop at the usual full-plant photographs. We can explore different photographic techniques. We can experiment with macro photography. We can look at the roots. We can photograph the flowers at different stages. We can use focus stacking to reveal details that a normal photograph cannot capture clearly. And we can preserve those observations for later comparison. That's why I enjoy combining the grow diaries with the photography side of the project. The plants give us the subject. The camera gives us another way to explore it. And sometimes the results are absolutely fascinating. This Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has given us a lovely collection to look back on. 💙📸🔬 ──────────────────────── 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS — A COLOURFUL GOODBYE And here we are. Week 15. Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B. Our compact girl. The one who always seemed perfectly comfortable taking the scenic route. 😂💙 She finished a little more colourfully than her sister, giving us another beautiful example of how individual phenotypes can express themselves differently even when sharing the same general conditions. And this final collection of photographs gives us plenty to appreciate. Beautiful flowers. Colourful details. Trichomes. Resin-covered surfaces. Delicate structures. Unexpected little visitors. Root photography. And a whole lot of macro work that takes us into a world we normally wouldn't see. We also have a small preview of the dried flowers, because her journey isn't quite finished here. There's another chapter coming. And I want to give that chapter the same attention. For now, I simply want to appreciate what this girl has given us. From a small seed under a 12/12 schedule to this beautiful final expression. She didn't need to become the tallest plant in the room. She didn't need to be the fastest. She didn't need to look exactly like her sister. She simply needed to be herself. And she was. Same room. Same general conditions. Same cultivar. Two sisters. Two different stories. That's the 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌱🌸 Thank you, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B, for another beautiful chapter. You may have taken the scenic route, but you certainly made it worth the journey. And now... Let's get those dried-bud photographs ready. 😂💙 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ADVENTURE A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore and document these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure and being part of the journey. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that expanded our lighting ecosystem. 💡🙏 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for the technology and environmental control supporting the room behind the scenes. And a big thank you to everyone following the project on GrowDiaries. Your comments, questions, observations and support make these diaries what they are. A special thank you as well to everyone joining us in the DogDoctorOfficial Discord community. The grow diaries are only one part of this adventure. The conversations, shared knowledge, photography, experiments and friendships are what make the whole community special. If you're not already part of it, come and join us! Discord: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial And, of course, thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at the photographs. Especially the macro ones. 😂🔬💙 ──────────────────────── 💚 GROWERS LOVE, MY FRIENDS! That's another beautiful chapter completed in the 8×8 Adventure. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has finished her journey with her own character, her own colours and her own individual expression. Now we have the photographs, the observations and the memories to look back on. And the next chapter? The dried flowers are waiting. So stay tuned, because we're not finished exploring this little lady just yet. Until then, keep growing, keep observing, keep experimenting, and never forget to appreciate the little details. Sometimes the most interesting things are hiding right in front of our eyes. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚💙 See you in the next chapter of the 8×8 jungle... where every phenotype has a story, every photograph reveals another detail, and there's always something new to discover. LET'S GROW! 💙🌸🔬

I still believe that Banana Kush #2 and Zkittlez are stunted, I wanted to remove those two but i think i will just let them grow out for the experience. I'm really banking on Banana Kush #1 to bring home the bacon.

- i'm back already! i decited to harvest today on day 93, there was about 5-10% amber so i din't want to wait any longer! - all pics are from right before/during/after harvest - the 2 lowest branches are trimmed up and drying in a brown paper bag, the rest is drying in my carboard box - i will be back with a harvest report and smoke report in about 10 days when everything is nice and dry. - added 3 videos at the end so check em out

Hi all, Grow area updates: Nothing major far as area is concerned added Some yoyo’s to the net so it can be raised and lowered easily now. I also noticed I had been following ghp feeding schedule for a recirculating system when mine is drain to waste. Didn’t have in adverse effects on the plants at all actually think they loved it tbh. But I’ll notice the ppm difference on these future updates. I was using way more nutrients then what was needed. Now I get to save money lol. Blue dream auto: Def has the faint smell of flowering cannabis now. The branching power from the mixing blue dream and already branchy plant with the ruderalis is def perfect for a scrog set up when you trying to maximize the your yield off one plant. I had to visit the tent 3 times this week to re tuck her down. Did the last tuck Thursday so what you are seeing from the pics today is three days of growth. Crazy!!!! She sitting at about 900 ppm And that’s with cutting the the grow solution some. Master kush photo: She popped through the net mid this week and hit her first tuck under today. With how well she reacted to the femm job. I went ahead and topped on the new growth on each branch. Her branch structure is way more sturdy then autos for sure. Leaves are bigger as well. One is the size of my palm lol I have big hands so that’s awesome. She sitting at about 800 ppm and getting less bloom solution. I’d also like to add I appreciate everyone’s advice far as set up and temp control. It was above 100°F the last couple days. And tent never got over 85 and as soon as the hotter part of the day was over we where back in the 70’s. Ima smoke one for y’all! 🤘🏾 Until next time #StayKited

Had an awesome visit from Sebastian and Chubbs from 420fastbuds! They really seemed to like the smell of these ladies right here. It was an absolute pleasure.

starts 4 week !! the good purple tones are seen

We love in Notill Garden it’s be living soil coz i use my diy fungi and bacteria for these plant 3 girl in My bed can be add super-soil

They smell a lot like weed and that now in the wet autumn. These varieties of super sativa seed club also grow well outdoors. I doubt if I should harvest already as it is getting wetter and colder.... So what had you done. Continue with the chance of mold or harvest a little earlier. So far, they have no mold and don't seem to be impressed by cold days and wet days. but it can always happen if you go to the max.. Beautiful plants these species of super sativa seed club. Please buy them yourself en put it to the test green greetings CaptenSmokey 😁✊

She's growing nicely. She's staying indoors this summer. This is suppose to be a good medical strain for headaches/migraines, I'm hopeful for my migraines will diminish with this strain.

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

Whats up GD !!! ------------- GROWTH------------- She is getting weight and finishing, leaves turned purple, red, and all the amazing colours you see in photos, she is almost ready and it is so frosty, Smells like red licorice, and fruits. Flushing last 7 days. ------------- IRRIGATION------------- 1,5l, watering each 3 days . 1 of 2 irrigations with nutes, and the other with water. ------------- NUTRIENTS------------- Top Bloom (3ml/l) Top Candy (2ml/l) --------------------------------------- Good vibes !! _29/06/2018_

To start off the week I've only just noticed that instead of 2 leafs and branches on each inter-node they're is 3 nice little mutation going on.....It was all normal through gemination and seedling stage can't wait to see her flourish Day 29 Notes Removed the lower fan leaves and side branches so I have 4 main tops to train I had 6 when i topped Day 30 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven Trained the 4 main branches Day 33 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven and monkeys Root Shoot..also took a few fan leafs blocking lower branches

.

Just started to pre flower and starting to form its structure
