Thought my growth was stunted but I came back from a 5 day vacation to some pretty consistent growth. Also the one from last week with the weird growth came out looking normal after the first couple leaves.

One more week of flush, the leaves are starting become yellow. The buds are getting fatter and frosty. Check out the video that i v made. One more thing fellas, i'v put two graphics showing an experience that i'v made measuring the ph and ec of runoff for some weeks: 1 - About PH: my soil always buffer about 1 pt of ph. Except in the day 08/08 that i made a full flush. 2 - About the EC: You can see in the start of the graphic some peaks. This is beacuse i was alternating between solution and tap water. After that i started aways put the solution in every watering and the graphic become more estable following the concentration of ec until the flush in 08/08. I dont know exactly why this buffer of ph and ec occurs. I think that it was because i'm recycling the soil over the grows. :] Next week, HARVESTTTT!

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

Only got 4 more days to harvest 👍🏻

No bug or disease problems. I even took her off veg nutes way too soon and she recovered like a fucking champ. I’m popping two more this week. Unfortunately i didn’t weigh it because Of some very unfortunate circumstances that I was dealing with at the time. I essentially had to vacate my premise within 24 hours. A few days after harvest. Anyways. I ended up smoking the whole thing with my friends and it was straight fire. The terps were crazy also. Super sweet. After curing she had a very sweet smell like bubblegum / grape. This was only my second harvest ever.

It was fun to grow in the back yard. I wouldn’t grow again though. They get stressed and stunted very easily. Don’t smell. Low yield. Low potency.

The Strawberry Banana from canuk seeds is still the smallest girl but she is moving along she will not be getting any more toppings but once she gets a little bigger under the medic grow fold 6 then she will be going into flower

🌱 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. 🌱💚

This grow is an example of how important is to check your veg time to make sure it doesn't shoot over the lights and over the roof really, overall is good tho. Also i ditched advanced nutrients for a new brand, since advanced nutrients are just costly stickers imho. 11/16/24 bought a new fert , that will not only last me 10 times with a fraction of cost, also it's much easier then mixing 24 different bottles , also all the liquid ferts tends to cristallize so i don't even know if the fert i've applyied in the past (advanced nutrients perfect ph micro-grow-bloom) was all bioavailable (probably not) since the buds looks already bigger after 1 application. Also Ferty 1 Geo has also molybdenum among the microelements wich was not present on advanced nutrients. cheers!

2x Plants with liqui cannabiz doing very - ghe tri 2x coming along (adjusted their nutes) lets hope for the ge best..ill be doing some fimming through out he week.. Hopefully side branches eill catchup during stretch period.. Looks like 2 showing signs of flowering.. Hectic week ahead @ work - will try my best not 2 f&#k things up..sofar so good.. Had some issues with LC buckets - looks like ektra NSol solving the issue.. Lets see changing all nutes 2morrow

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

3 lamps, looks big and good!! 👍👍 Reinstalled the tent, lamps, plants, mills 👍 Such a cool plant! Cool red! 🤩😍 big nice plant!! I love this gurl! She's doin so well! She gained nicely this week! Com'on!! 🙏
