Hello Diary. At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome. 😍 More or less all the information is in the diary, there are really a lot of photos that speak more than words. What I would point out at the end of this story, the Hulkberries were different. One was more developed in width and that eventually had a higher yield as well. He reached a height of 105cm, while the other was more developed in height and grew to 117cm. But the Hulkberry is a great sativa strain, I didn’t have any problems throughout the cycle, I didn’t do any training I just did a little defoliation twice. 👌 The branches were dried for 12 days after which they were finished in jars for another three weeks. In the end I would like to thank the Royal Queen Seeds for making this wonderful strain, Grow Diaries where I can learn, and share something I really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or commend the diary. See you soon with new journey.

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle. Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today 😂😂

Ehi ragazzi come va? Spero tutto bene come a me! Le temperature elevate delle ultime settimane, sono state molto stressanti per le ragazze ma nonostante questo la genetica Barney'S farm si è fatta predominante ed insieme alla sorella Fastbuds Apricot auto hanno praticamente fagocitato l intero spazio della grow box, destinato come progetto iniziale di 4 piante, purtroppo sappiamo bene come sono andate le altre due ragazze, ma diciamocelo, di sicuro non staremo a piangerci addosso perché questa cookie KUSH auto mi sta veramente sorprendedno, altezza di 98cm e un sacco di sviluppo delle cime laterali che sono stra colme di gemme a forma di biscotto che si stanno sviluppando in modo davvero grandioso sia in numero di fiori che di nuovi fiori, che di compattezza delle cime, nonostante il caldo abbia portato a formare delle cime un po foxtail, ma spero che questo problema rientri nelle ultime due settimane che mancano alla raccolta, la temperatura sarà dai 26 ma x 30 gradi, quindi clima controllato ideale per questa ragazza che sprizza di resina da ogni nuovo fiore! Spero che la situazione continui così, anche se ho notato una carenza (spero) di calcio e magnesio che mi è capitato spesso anche in altre coltivazioni organiche, a cui avevo somministrato c02, si vede che aumentando il metabolismo andavano in carenza di cal/mag... ma purtroppo io non sono ancora così esperto da capirlo da me stesso ed essere pienamente sicuro della soluzione migliore da adottare.. Si iniziano a sentire odori speziati di legno stile KUSH!! Non vedo l ora di provarne gli effetti su me stesso 😝 ringrazio come al solito la mia grande famiglia Mars Hydro che ha reso tutto questo paradiso in terra possibile, in un paese come il mio in cui la legge è contro questa mia bellissima passione! Buon 420 a tutti! 😺😽💋😻💖🧑‍🌾🌱🌿🌲🍀💨 https://marshydro.eu/ https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/products/4-inch-inline-duct-fan-and-carbon-filter-combo-with-thermostat-controller/

HEY! the beginning of flowering. and there are many hopes that it will be completed before the end of the competition from Green House! well, everything goes perfectly in ostolny) the trunk gets fat. branches grow longer and flowers bloom)) it is very difficult to understand its size from the photo) but believe me, it is huge. and occupies an area of 80cm-80cm wide ..

I chopped her down after taking a closer look at the trichromes, she was quite amber on some buds and I did make sure to check the calyxes, not the sugar leaves. Didn't want to risk over opening her, and I'm already nervous about drying so. Better to get it over with no? Low and slow. 60%rh and 60°F. My cheap equipment is struggling to keep the tent there, but it's chugging along. Anything id buy won't get here in time to save the harvest, so if it gets overdried.. it gets overdried. Its a bummer but what'll you do. This was a very educational experience for me, and my second plant (check out my new diary) will hopefully preform much better! Kudos!

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | Elegance in Every Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a true phenotype hunt is discovering how differently each individual plant expresses herself, even when every variable remains exactly the same. Same genetics. Same lighting. Same environment. Same feeding philosophy. Yet every plant tells her own story. Godfather OG Pheno B is proving that perfectly. While some of her sisters are building broader, bushier canopies, this lady has chosen elegance over width, reaching confidently toward the lights with long, graceful branches and beautifully spaced flowering sites. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply becoming herself. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🌱 The Journey So Far If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome! Every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than extending the vegetative stage before inducing flowering, every seed has lived under twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very first day. That means I never decide when flowering begins. The plants do. Each phenotype follows its own internal clock, revealing its own pace and personality. It's one of the reasons this project has become such an incredible learning experience. Watching sister plants develop into completely different individuals under identical conditions never stops amazing me. 🌸 Week One of Flower This week marks what I consider Week One of Flower. The transition is now unmistakable. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every growing tip, quietly announcing that the plant has shifted her priorities from building stems and leaves to creating flowers. These tiny white hairs may seem insignificant today... …but they are the first chapter of every future cola. Every morning seems to bring another cluster of pistils, another little burst of growth, and another reminder of how quickly this stage evolves. It's one of my favourite moments in the entire cultivation cycle. The excitement is only just beginning. 🌿 A Structure Built for Success Now standing close to 96 cm, Pheno B has become one of the tallest ladies in the room. Rather than producing a dense, compact canopy, she's expressing a wonderfully open architecture. Long internodal spacing. Strong central stem. Healthy side branching. Excellent airflow. Instead of fighting her natural shape, I've simply allowed her to develop the way she wanted. No aggressive training. No heavy defoliation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there to improve light penetration while letting the plant write her own story. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the plant's way. The result is an elegant framework where every future flowering site has room to breathe and access to plenty of light. 💧 Hand Watering — Every Plant, Every Decision Unlike some of her sisters growing on AutoPots, Pheno B continues to be hand-watered. There's something incredibly rewarding about this approach. Every watering becomes an opportunity to slow down. To observe. To inspect every leaf. To notice the smallest changes before they become problems. Rather than simply feeding the plant, hand watering encourages a closer relationship with her development. As flowering begins, the nutrition program continues its gradual transition toward bloom production. Bloom nutrients are now taking a larger role while enough nitrogen remains available to support the final stretch before the plant fully dedicates her energy to building flowers. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. 🌡️ Environment — Consistency Creates Confidence The room continues delivering stable conditions that allow every phenotype to perform at her best. Current averages include: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • ? Root zone: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 24°C • 🌿 CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfection every day, I focus on maintaining consistency. Healthy plants don't just grow because they're fed well. They thrive because they're never forced to constantly adapt to changing conditions. A stable environment allows the plant to spend her energy growing instead of recovering. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a plant that's confidently stepping into her flowering journey. Full-length portraits highlight her elegant vertical structure and balanced branching. Close-up images showcase the first clusters of bright white pistils appearing across multiple flowering sites. Several photographs also reveal the open architecture that has naturally developed through gentle guidance rather than heavy intervention. Every branch seems eager to join the race toward becoming a future cola. Watching these subtle changes unfold week after week is one of the most rewarding parts of documenting this project. Sometimes a camera captures progress that our eyes almost miss from one day to the next. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More pistils will appear across every branch, while the first true bud clusters begin forming at each flowering site. Training will remain minimal. Only occasional leaf tucking will be carried out whenever necessary to improve light penetration and airflow. At this point, the goal isn't to reshape the plant. It's simply to support the structure she's already chosen for herself. If she continues growing with this same rhythm, I think she's going to produce a canopy filled with long, beautifully stacked colas. She's healthy. She's vigorous. And she's only just getting started. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that's exactly why documenting each one individually has become such a rewarding experience. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share their experiences, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for supplying the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. ? Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment that allows every phenotype to express her full potential. And finally... Thank you to everyone reading these updates, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply following along. Your support makes this journey even more enjoyable. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno B continues transforming graceful branches into what I hope will become a canopy full of beautiful flowers. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱👑💚

She is getting the final bulk now and soon i will shop her down sbout 5 days left :D

What a frosty strain, rivals Stardawg in the stickiness. Good resin potential Not a big feeder, normal levels do the trick as they will show some burn if they dont like it. Not a stinker at all Will try to foxtail @ 85F The stretch caused by the tent space issues with the Green Crack really shows here, man 2 ft of plant that was not needed. My fault, start flower under blue or white lights until stretch ends as they will get tall Serious stretch under HPS Excellent genetics, taste test in a few days I _ WANT_ MORE ... please 😉 Letting the FF7 stay in the tent a bit longer, removed all but the small fans to keep the air moving but slow down the rate. Just test weights (love hanging them like this) say @200g a plant. maybe we will see Almost forgot, pulling a small branch from Aeryn to test Easy harvest, nice dense frosty sticky buds, cannot ask for more.

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest, I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket

D50/FD22 - Right, water change day (Evening). Right and proper f**ked off with the light doing me over (See D49/FD21 Comment for that epic story!!!). Where stretch had stopped (I thought), plants are back in the lights AGAIN!!! Blaming the light giving a near 24hour session and some other broken sessions of light over the last 48 hours!!! So had to pull out the extraction as getting LED burn on leaves that are touching! Blowing through the Carbon Filter and can't really smell anything so that's not bad. Everything a wee bit noisier with the fan not being muffled in the tent but need the space and got around a foot. Not prefiltering the fan as I have the new Cloudline to go in for next grow. Hopefully they grow no more and its all thickening buds from here so as I have space for the UVB in there in a week or 2! Slight change in feed. Dropped the roots booster as Wilma can't take any more...its full!!! Dunno how I am still getting 50L of water in there!!! Added PK9/18 (At half strength). Should probs drop the calmag (Or Kind Base down a bit) to drop nitrogen but am still seeing some copper spots here and there that looks like wee calcium deficiencies (Not much, but its there) - I do have some BioBizz CalMag (Which is Nitrogen Free) but it leaves the tank stinking with precipitate and dirties the roots. Think this is the 1st grow I have had where all the stems staying green so plants generally healthy. Cherry Pie still not budding up as quickly or as thickly as the Red hot Cookies but looks like its maybe running only a couple of days behind in growth so no biggie. Few weeks left for it to catch up and surprise me at the end! 😁 Now just to make sure I see no signs of re-veg...as per the D49/FD21 comment, I'll be scowling at GeekLight this week. Digital Timer in there now to ensure no bleed through - power gets hard cut like old times. Unfortunately though, when the light comes on via power-on (and not app timer mode), UV & IR comes on too so have a timer set to stop it after 1 min (Its about all the app being used for now!!! Apart from turning on my IV at midnight for 4 hours - which is, I have just seen, still working). Think that's all the s**te I have to talk for now! Happy Growing all!!! 💪

Looks like I'm going to be satisfied with the autos and the photos their coming along fine very nicely. I super cropped the one outside and that's turning out fantastic

this cultivar does not like to be bent at all. Starting to show those colours too. This one needs to be LST at a very early stage and it likes to stiffen up like an old school sativa, gets real brittle. Going to start foliar sprays with silica because they help tighten up node spacing, and I know this plant also has longer node spacing typical to landrace sativa cultivars.

These girls are now entering full bloom and are just beasting! The size of the buds now will tell how big and dense they will be at the end. From here on in they will power thorough to finish.

This plant is fo amazing I can’t hardly wait it’s just dripping with rezon and just gleaming in the light just about to stop feeding I’m going to probably flush with just water for 3-4 days then stop watering completely for 3-4 days then early mourning on that last day of dehydration chop chop chop

Dont know why one of them is 1.75 m. In the description they say BB Kush will only grow up to 0.70 m or 1.00 m max.

These ladies are growing great. After being transplanted last week they've definitely doubled in size. I did some defoliation today taking off the first set of branches and fan leaves that were at the soil level. All in all Happy Growing.
