Growing

Looks going well.

Day 36 of flower Watering day 3 gallons of water ph to 5.87 With a runoff of 25% to 30% . 1 blue dream 1 I'm pretty sure its Afghan hindu kush not white kush Grow light: mars hyrdo tsw 2000 at 100% power 24inches above 🌞☀️ Medium: coco coir mix with compost at a 50/50 ratio with 30% perlite added⛰️ Nutrients: fox farm dirty dozen 🦊🚜 Grow space: 4x4x7 Water: tap water (my tap water is allows 110ppm) left out for at least 24hours

Nice little stretch, did a bit of a defloiation to help with airflow and light penetration but I like to leave as many leaves on the plant as possible because the plant will use those leaves as batteries when it comes to mid to late flower. And its all about the microbes! Just been giving microbe bombs every week, once a week.

2/15 NL: I seem to be in the final stretch of things! Lots of white pistils still, but they're starting to curl in. Going to keep her in the tent and recheck this weekend! Harvest window is approaching! Very excited for the extra tent space. 2/19 NL: Not quite ready for harvest. Soon...

# GodFather OG by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱👔 ## Germination Week | Another Seat at the Family Table Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new journey. As some of you may have noticed, I've recently changed the way I'm documenting my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary instead of sharing a single journal with its sisters. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development in as much detail as possible while selecting the best photographs from each week. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To create a complete educational record from seed to harvest while sharing observations, successes, mistakes, lessons learned, and everything in between. Today, we welcome GodFather OG Pheno B. And just like her sister, she arrives carrying a name that brings certain expectations with it. 😄 --- ## A New Member of the Family Every seed begins the same way. Small. Silent. Unassuming. Yet inside that tiny shell exists an entire future waiting to unfold. For this run, we're following GodFather OG from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll do my best to explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. For now, another member has officially taken her seat at the family table. And the story begins. --- ## Germination Using the Cannakan System To start this run, I once again used the Cannakan germination system. Simple. Reliable. Organized. The kind of system that keeps everyone where they're supposed to be. 😄 The container is divided into separate chambers, allowing multiple cultivars to be germinated simultaneously while remaining properly labeled and easy to track. The seeds were placed inside using only plain water. Nothing else. No additives. No nutrients. No stimulants. Just water. Within approximately 24 hours healthy taproots had already emerged, and the seeds were ready to continue their journey. Exactly what we hope to see from vigorous, healthy genetics. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that frequently appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seedlings immediately?" The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything required for the first stage of life. Nature made sure of that long before we arrived. Inside that shell are the energy reserves necessary to establish roots and begin development. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural resources exactly as intended. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. --- ## First Experience Using Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining an ideal balance between water retention and oxygen availability. Once germinated, the seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome remained useful for only a very short period. Within less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were ready for the next step. At that point, they were transplanted directly into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environmental Conditions The environment during germination was intentionally kept simple and stable. Temperatures remained around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. While many growers prefer keeping seedlings inside a dome for extended periods, I personally like allowing them to adapt relatively early to the conditions they will experience throughout their life cycle. The objective is adaptation. Not overprotection. Airflow remains extremely gentle at this stage. Just enough movement to keep the air fresh without creating unnecessary stress. --- ## Heat Mat Temperatures The propagation mat was operating around 40°C. While that number may sound high initially, the heating source itself must run above the target root-zone temperature in order to compensate for environmental losses. The seedlings are not exposed directly to that temperature. Instead, the mat provides the warmth necessary to maintain stable rooting conditions and encourage fast, healthy germination. Consistency is the goal. And seeds appreciate consistency. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination is intentionally soft. Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels. The goal is healthy establishment rather than explosive growth. Once these girls become properly established, they will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of development begins. We'll start discussing PPFD, light intensity, and environmental management in more detail during the coming weeks. For now, healthy beginnings remain the priority. --- ## First Observations Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And perhaps most importantly: A clean start. At this stage every phenotype is still an unknown story waiting to unfold. And honestly, that's part of the magic. No matter how many grows we complete, every seed still carries a little mystery inside. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we'll follow GodFather OG Pheno B through the first stages of development. We'll explore: - Root establishment - Early growth - Environmental management - Watering strategies - Light intensity - Structural development - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype decides to reveal Because every seed starts with potential. The journey determines how that potential expresses itself. This is only the first chapter. And for GodFather OG Pheno B... the family continues to grow. 🌱😄 Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along for another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

She's a big and pretty on for sure. Lovely looking foxtail buds that just keep growing, very pungent diesel terps with a kushy vibe too. She's got a little while left, will be starting the flush soon (4 days after these pics) cause I'm leaving for holiday. Will have to see if she's ready during my holiday, but I think she's can use another 3 weeks, looking at this pic. Gonna be a bitch to trim that's the only negative.

🤙Everything goes according to plan. Blueberries show a confident growth and filling of space with green ☘️ ▪️I water every other day through a powerful sprayer with clean water 💦 without fertilizers ▪️My close landing technique in action took only 2 week, and we have 18 major growth tips on almost the same plane ▪️the lamp is still 25cm from the tops, improved the cooler mount now it is exactly in the middle under the lamp ▪️the plants are tremendously strong and dynamically developing, in this regard, I worry about the fact that they will stretch overnight and touch the hot♨️ surface of the diode. update: 18 day installation of SCROG I use tents of the 🔸SecretJardin company version 4.0; they come with a stunningly comfortable SCROG; they are elastic and allow you to adjust the crown of the 🌱 plant by installing an additional staple

CHOP DAY! Sadly, due to the laws, most if it wont even get dried... Enjoy the pictures and get ready for the next grow, exotic things and new tec comming :)

Hoffe das lollipopping passt so

The girl looks amazing!!! The 28th day photo is missing because I went on vacation, I asked my friend to come water her next week, I think when I get back I will find her much older:) I like to just leave them sometimes and see them after about 10 days :) they change very quickly:) good luck to everyone.

THURSDAY 7/18: She really perked up in the sunshine with the boom boom spray and kelp dosing, so I put her outdoors again at first light today. I also re-planted her in the same cup, but I put about 2 centimeters of coarse perlite in the bottom along with another handful of soil. Her tiny lower branches are finally getting some light! I'll start training her a bit now, and I should be able to FIM her tomorrow or the next day. She's in direct scorching sunlight for 8 hours a day and about 8 inches below a 40w Sansi 4000k LED and a 75w LED panel (6500k/460nm 1:1 ratio) for 16 hours a day, I'll dial it back to 22-hour days at the first sign of flowering and swap out the blue/white panel for an all 660nm red panel(or two), and continue to gradually decrease her nighttime until harvest I've also got a little 20w spotlight with a Cree chip that's tuned to 3000k that I'll probably hammer her "massive" cola with as she starts to ripen up.😎 SUNDAY: She was looking a little bit haggard after yesterday...I think the sun is beating her up too badly. With such a tiny amount of soil, I think the roots are getting way too hot, even being in a cup within a cup wrapped with duct tape. Today, I'm leaving her indoors under the LEDs, but considering putting her cup inside another solo cup without any drainage holes, and setting that cup into pot of water with a fresh "blue ice" pack so as to keep the root temperature down...and replacing the blue ice pack every couple of hours while she's outdoors...or maybe I'll just take a pot and fill it with some of the orange-red clay that I find when I dig down a couple of feet..create a solo cup sized hole in it so that she has a surrounding layer of clay to keep her cooler during the day...not sure.. I foliar fed her and mixed about 4 grams of Bactrex into a jug with 3/4 gallon of bottled water and douched all my plants with about 2 pints each, except her...she got about 6 oz. of solution. That should really get the beneficial bacteria and fungus kicked into overdrive. I started brewing a 4 gallon batch of compost tea today. Since I don't have any Orgatrex, I am using a little Big Bloom, Kelp Me Kelp You, and Grow Big in the tea in addition to the PK Compost Booster tea from Bio Tabs. I'll add Mycotrex to it about 2 hours before it finishes and thoroughly dowse them all tomorrow morning. MONDAY: Today, after I FIM'd her, I decided to move her outdoors into a semi-shaded spot, with the rest of the girls during the day. To deal with the heat on her roots, I decided to just bury the larger solo cup (no drainage holes or soil in it) up to the rim in a 3 gallon pot full of soil. This will allow me to easily bring her indoors every (or every other) night to soak up more light in my cabinet. The plant's roots will never have any access to the other soil, but I'm hoping that if I keep that outer soil wet it will hold the root temperatures down in the soil inside the cup. If it turns out that her roots are so strong that they "break through" the plastic to get to the outer soil, I'll either remove the plastic and drop out of the contest, or just bring her indoors permanently.😁 She got some freshly brewed compost tea this morning along with a foliar feeding...a major pain in the ass to lug a 5-gallon pail down to the site...maybe I'll invest in a small solar panel and 12 volt battery and inverter so I can do the brewing on site...

We noticed some bleaching this week on a few of the higher tops and decided to move the MarsHydro again, from 18"to 20" this time..We underestimated how powerful this light actually is.. We no longer have access to a functioning PAR meter so we're relying exclusively on plant response, Google and some guess work to dial ...High light intensity definitely explains why we've been feeding these autos so much lol.. I'm glad we caught this when we did. We gave all plants another moderate feeding after moving the light (still waiting on a calmag re-up) , but I think they'll be just fine 😺👌.. we're hoping that 20" in flower might be the sweet spot..We truly have an autoflower curse, its real, anything that can go wrong typically does lol but it should be smooth sailing from here on out..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

Everything ok, just waiting 1 more week before I top them. The banana krumble is clearly much more compact so I'm starting to think I shouldn't have put 2 different strains but it's too late now.

It was a heavy week! Topped and FIMmed my O.G’s, I have no clue if I even did it right since I just topped of the newest node. Gorilla’s seem to be taking a little longer, they are super nice and dense little bushes! Nice dark green tho! 👨‍🌾🏻 Dropped the light on them a few times and burned off a few leaves had to cut off pretty much 25% off a monkey but doesn’t seem to affect it at all.. 1 OG has clear ladyparts sticking out all over, it’s also by far the best grower out of the 8, hope the rest of the plants show some signs soon 😏 I’m impatient. * End of the week update Did lst and it looks like I stepped on my plants.. they are doing fine no worries it just looks terrible 🐘 The gorilla’s are looking beautiful! Dark green and lush! What do you guys think about the OG that’s already getting so many pistons did it start flowering already??

Cosechamos las 2 blueberry, tiene un aroma increíble dulce y afrutado y unos cogollos bien compactos
