Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 7 | Every Plant Has Its Own Pace Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system, nutrient solution and care. The only real variable is genetics, making this a fascinating opportunity to observe how each cultivar expresses itself when everything else remains constant. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, while being documented from germination through to harvest. One of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that no two plants read the same script. Some sprint ahead. Others take their time. Blueberry Muffin has clearly chosen the second option. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues exactly as expected, although she remains one of the slower ladies in the room. The initial stretch is beginning to settle, while clusters of bright white pistils continue appearing across every flowering site. Buds are slowly beginning to define themselves, and although they aren't stacking aggressively yet, there is no doubt she has fully committed her energy to reproduction. At this stage I prefer to let the plants work without unnecessary interruptions. During the first two or three weeks of flowering they're busy redirecting energy from vegetative growth into flower production. Unless a plant truly needs intervention, I find it's often better to simply observe, let nature do its work and avoid creating unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is nothing at all. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Slowly Finding Her Colour Again Last week I mentioned that Blueberry Muffin was asking for a little more nutrition than some of her neighbours. That continues to be the case. She still isn't displaying the rich green colour I'd ultimately like to see, but the good news is that she's slowly responding. By the end of the week the foliage had noticeably improved, confirming that the adjustments are moving in the right direction. One of the challenges of running a room like this is that every plant shares the same reservoir. If this were a single-plant grow, I could tailor the nutrient solution specifically to her needs. But in a room containing twelve different genetics, the feeding programme has to serve the collective rather than the individual. Fortunately, the entire room reached the point where nutrient demand naturally increased this week, so the reservoir was adjusted accordingly. The increase wasn't made specifically for Blueberry Muffin, but it should help her continue recovering alongside the rest of the garden. Sometimes growing isn't about creating the perfect recipe for one plant. It's about finding the best balance for all of them. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Although she remains relatively compact compared to some of the other cultivars, Blueberry Muffin continues developing a very attractive structure. Her branches remain nicely spaced, the internodal distance is consistent, and light continues penetrating well throughout the canopy thanks to the gentle leaf management carried out during the vegetative stage. She's certainly not trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Instead, she's quietly building a neat framework that should support healthy flower development over the coming weeks. Not every champion announces themselves early. Some simply take a little longer to show what they're capable of. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing the plants to focus their energy on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 20.2°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency remains one of the greatest allies during early flowering, and maintaining a stable environment helps every cultivar express its genetic potential as evenly as possible. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues delivering fresh nutrient solution whenever required, allowing the root zone to remain consistently supplied throughout flowering. This week's reservoir consists of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom reflects the overall nutritional demand of the room as flowering progresses. Blueberry Muffin appears to be benefiting from this adjustment, and I'll continue watching her closely over the coming weeks to see if her foliage continues returning to a deeper green. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a story of patience. The flowers continue to develop steadily, fresh pistils cover every developing bud site, and the plant's elegant structure is becoming increasingly apparent. Perhaps the most interesting detail captured through the lens is the gradual improvement in leaf colour. It's subtle, but visible enough to suggest that she's beginning to settle into her new feeding regime. Photography often reveals progress that our eyes overlook during daily inspections. Looking back at previous weeks reminds me just how much can change in only a few days. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week I'll simply continue monitoring her progress without making unnecessary adjustments. I'm hoping to see the foliage continue regaining a richer green while the flowers begin putting more energy into stacking and bulking up. Blueberry Muffin may be taking her time... ...but that's perfectly fine. Every plant has its own rhythm, and one of the greatest lessons any grower can learn is knowing when to guide—and when to simply let the plant write its own story. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or have only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every shared experience. Watching these twelve cultivars grow side by side has become an incredible learning opportunity, and it's even more rewarding because it's shared with such an amazing community. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their experiences and continue learning together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for allowing us to explore how this cultivar expresses itself under a unique 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrients and growing media that support these plants through every stage of their journey. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that powers this entire project and helps every phenotype reveal its own unique character. Finally, thank you for being part of this adventure. Every photograph, every observation and every lesson becomes more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues finding her own pace through flower. 💚🌱

Second week of overdrive , and getting ready to flush for next next week res has been topped up and diluted down the mixture to ensure no over feeding or blockages happening and also to encourage the purple n black colours to come through . More comments said on the video as well

See main diary for additional information. 2313: Fat chonky colas, fast and early flowering. This plant bulked up a lot between 6 and 7 weeks. Nice purple tones on the buds but no signs of deficiency and lots of stored nutrients to finish this plant off.

Week 7 🌴🌴🌴🌴 Lst has helped to keep our plants nice and compact we gonna try and fill up the tent space as much as possible for 4 plants. We in a 3x3 atm. But I may tf them into the 4x4 very soon. Got some yellow tips and paleness on a few leaves. Ph may need looking at or lowering my nute feed. Il do a flush before flowering Roll on next week 💪😎👍

Day 21 The plant looks more on the sativa side and is already showing a small bud, indicating that it's almost entering the flowering stage. However, there's still a chance that it will grow more in size. That’s why I’m very optimistic that it will still gain some height, if not she will be Chopped down

It was an easy harvest as the colas developed nicely. Hardly any popcorn nugs and very little sugar leaves. If the weather had allowed it, I think she could have grown even bigger, but I'm more than happy with the outcome!

Hey Cannafam, Well weve reached the end for this gorgeous gal, i did want to leave her another week but ive been informed that my landlord wants to inspect the property in 2 weeks, so shes come down and needs to be dried jarred and the tent put away! In the final week i managed to flush her and the light was dailed down to 56%(61 watts). Again humidity was high at 70% with 23c temp, VPD of 0.84 and DLI at 35. Although i was not able to control the environment completley in her final weeks, this gal has performed like a champ, she has built solidly throughout with a maximum of 80 watts from my little rig so a really energy efficient grow 😊 Trimming was very difficult, as she was so low down ive wet trimmed in the pot some and then had to dig to cut her main stem. She was just one massive brick of bud when i took her down 😁 and i must say i definitely fell in love with this chunky woman. Further trimming will be done when shes dried out more and il update with the final dry weight and smoke report later. I hope you've enjoyed this diary, stay safe and remember the Sun always shines in Space 😊✌️💚💚💚

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and she’s looking great. Not a very tall plant but very compact and tight buds forming. Gave her a feeding of foxfarm’s trio today. Day 58 - Nothing to really update on this beauty today. She’s doing well and showing no real ill effects to the feeding yesterday. Letting her dry out a bit before watering her again. Normal watering is about every 2-3 days so possibly tomorrow or Monday. Day 59 - Nothing new today, just checked to see if she needed some water and wanted some updated pictures. Looks like another day or two before watering. Day 60 - Day 60 and she’s smelling amazing. Seeing some of the pistils starting to shrivel up but still think she’s got a couple weeks left. Gave her a full gall on water today, she was pretty dry. Will probably give her one more feeding of nutes this weekend and will start flushing with foxfarm’s sledgehammer. Day 61 - Since she doesn’t have too much time left before chopping, I did a fairly heavy defoliation to try and get her to pack some more weight on. Still thinking she’s got 2-3 weeks left, I’d like to let her go until she’s maybe 60% amber. I really enjoy the couch lock in the evenings and helps with my back. Day 62 - Looks great and still fattening up. Looking at her now, I’m not sure how long she’s got. Still thinking about 2 weeks but looking at the trichs she’s got some time, mostly clear with some cloudy. Will be giving her some water tomorrow. Day 63 - Today is the end of week 9 and looks good. Still slightly wet soil so gonna hold of until tomorrow or Saturday and give her the last feeding of nutes before harvesting. She will get nothing but water and then foxfarm’s sledgehammer until she’s done.

Did a heavy defoliation and put the trellis net in place for the screen of green. Hopefully flipping to flower in 2 weeks or less.

Cómo está cambiando el clima mi planta está floreciendo a buen ritmo,espero que no empeore con el invierno ya que no tiene ningún tipo de cubierta ni protección contra las inclemencias del tiempo
