Continued vegetative growth, preparing for topping, increased watering a bit more frequently to almost daily (just as needed.) Nothing crazy just maintaining conditions.

After the move into the larger pots, I noticed the girls starting to lean in, and lift thier leaves. I adjusted the height of the lamp to 23" and thier leaves backed off from over reaching. Thinking of topping this weekend, as the ladies look to have enough nodes now. All in all, things have been going very well. *** topped 4/5 on sunday

Start of week 8 (week 7 feed for the super Lemon Haze, she's going one extra week in total (9)) th blueberries are packing on serious weight, size and stickiness, while also smelling dank as hell! The Super Lemon Haze is still nutrient hungry, I continue to feed her extra each week and she's packing on serious weight and size now as she goes into the last 2 weeks of her grow. Overall the last week 7 was great and the plants are looking good, approaching the end.

Willkommen in Woche 8 der Vegetationsphase Dank der abwechslungsreichen Nährstoffe sind die Pflanzen wohlauf versorgt. Härter dürfte es im moment vom Düngeverhalten im Boden nicht sein. Gestern gemessener Bodenwert vorm Gießen 1.3 mS und 30 Min. nach dem Gießen lagen wir bei 0.96 mS. Pflegeinsatz im moment sehr gering da sie nur mit PH (6,3 ca.) ange Wasser gegossen werden. Bisher machen Sie aber gut mit und haben Ihre Zielrichtung nach dem LST wieder gut aufgenommen. Eine ist den anderen beiden etwas im Voraus und hat daher nen doppel Training erhalten. Ansonsten dürfen sie sich jetzt erst mal entspannt der Höhe u. Breite widmen. Wir werden auch zeitnah zwecks der Entlüftung noch etwas entlauben. Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen und allen noch eine angenehme Woche und viel Spaß und Erfolg gewünscht! VG ✌️ 😎

Ci siamo! Siamo arrivati quasi al traguardo...questi giorni le ragazze sono al loro massimo splendore e l'odore nella stanza e fortissimo! Anche questo aggiornamento è stato fatto grazie all'aiuto di mia madre che gentilmente mi ha tenuto e curato le bambine, sono contento perché sembra che è riuscita a seguire tutte le mie istruzioni e questa volta non ci sono stati problemi...è la prima volta che mi capita di competere in un contest e farmi mandare foto per mail..chiedo scusa se la messa a fuoco non è sempre delle migliori e personalmente non posso chiedere di meglio, è un lavoro che mi serviva e sono dovuto partire lasciando tutto indietro...tornando ai nostri fiori, il green sensation di Plagron devo dire che ha fatto la differenza, contando che il cibo questa volta è stato preparato interamente da me, ha fatto un ottimo lavoro e i fiori sembrano dirlo forte! Cercherò di aggiornare l'ultimo step prima della fine...tra due giorni farò tagliare le ragazze! A presto!!!

I do nothing but feeding. 😅

I seperated them now. The bigger one stays in the 90ltr Pot. The other got in a 13ltr pot. Later in 20ltr. Topping the small on in 1 or 2 weeks. Than LST and 12/12. Its a bit hot the next weeks. Have to look more after the plants.

day 57 bloom 🥀 #5 and #2 are my favorite phenos so far. #5 is like a fruity ice cream cake. #2 smells citrus spicy and got bright purple buds which are dense as rocks already Unfortunately a main cola of #5 started budrotting but I did not find more budrot anywhere

Joa, die Gelato ist super stable. Gebrochener Hauptstamm. Egal. 2 mal, auch egal. Sie ignoriert es einfach. 😍 Sensi Seeds Good looking girl. Duftet hervorragend. Aus dem zelt kommt eun frischer Bananen angehauchter treibhausduft. Sehr angenehm.

Took longer than expected with most of the seeds poping after 4 days.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. The ladies are getting close, all trichomes are white and milky with very little amber, so I decided to start the flush today, and I will harvest the Apple Fritter and Durban Thai X C99 next Saturday. I did harvest the Donuts and Cherry Gar-See-Ya and I will post some pics and a smoke report once cured. Thanks for stopping by and Blaze On....

420Fastbuds FBT2313/Week 4 What up everyone. Hope all are well. Weekly update on these two gorgeous girls. This past week has been fun doing a major defoliation taking off most the bigger fan leafs. Hard to tell a few days later I took anything off. Which is amazing they never skipped a beat. No big issue's and since sprouted have grown phenomenal being relatively easy. All in all Happy Growing.

Any idea what other nuits i hould get

Week 6 Guys!!!! So To Begin, This weeks Description Should break down the videos and pics above.. Tent 1 - 1st week of flower - Gorilla Cookies - Strawberry banana FastBuds - Tent 2 - 5th Week of Veg - Tropicana Cookies Photo (random) & Mimosa Cake Auto Fastbuds Gorilla cookies - 15.2 in From Soil Strawberry banana - 14 in from soil Tropicana Cookies - 12 in from soil Mimosa Cake - 10 in from soil Tent 1 Was Given 50/50 10 tbsp each Dr Earth All Purpose & Bloom Tent 2 Was Given Only 10 Tbsp Of Dr Earth All Purpose Starting Off The Week With Removing All LST, Except 2 that i have holding down the Strawberry ^ as you can tell thats growing from the stalk up lol.. we did that energy diverted to the stems and bud sites, Slight Defoliation and ive Added the Netting to Prepare. Water is still aerated 18-24 hours ahead of time and still PH'd Between 6.5- 6.7 is the highest ive seen so far. The Light Cycle for Both Tents Currently is Still 20/4. I do believe Once i decide to Flip the Tropicana to 12/12 i will need to move the mimosa out to Tent 1. Given The 1 - 1.5 week difference in all 4 i dont see the move being a issue. Will Continue to Water When light and defoliate when i can not tuck! As Always Guys Drop Some Knowledge on Me... Questions and Comments Welcome.. See You Guys Next Week!!!! SIDE QUESTION: GIVEN I JUST FED THIS WEEK - WHEN TO I TOP DRESS NEXT... YOUTUBE SAYS WEEK 4 FLOWER TO CARRY OUT THE HARVEST!!!! <---COMMENT YOU ANSWERS FOR ME PLEASE

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 15 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno B by Zamnesia 👑🔥 💚 BIG MAMA'S GRAND FINALE — A PERFECT RUN, A BEAUTIFUL HARVEST & A QUEEN COVERED IN FROST! ❄️👑 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 MY FRIENDS... BIG MAMA HAS DONE IT! 👑🔥😂 Look at this girl! Look at those flowers! Look at that density! Look at that frost! And look at how beautifully she's carried herself from the beginning of this adventure all the way to harvest! Our Godfather OG Pheno B. Our Big Mama. Our beautiful, compact, heavy, frosty Queen. And honestly? What a run this girl has given us! 💚👑🌸 Some plants make you work for every little bit of progress. Some plants keep you guessing. Some plants have difficult moments that make you stop, observe, rethink, and learn. And then we have girls like Big Mama. From day one until now, she's been an absolute pleasure to follow. No major issues throughout the run. No difficult final chapter. No last-minute drama. She developed beautifully, built a substantial structure, produced dense-looking flowers, and carried herself all the way to harvest without giving us the kind of problems that made her sister's journey so challenging. And I absolutely love that! She's compact, she's beautiful, she's incredibly frosty, and she's been one of those plants that makes you smile every time you look at her. She's been a proper little Mama! Well... Not exactly little, considering how much weight those branches were carrying! 😂💪👑 But you know what I mean. She's been a beautiful plant from beginning to end, and now it's time to celebrate what she's become. We're starting this report with the final growing moments and harvest day, moving through the studio photographs and flower close-ups, showing her in the dark before harvest, and then following her into the whole-plant drying stage. We're also beginning to show the dried plant and the first moments of trimming. But, once again... WE HAVE TOO MANY PHOTOS! 😂📸💚 So yes, we're dividing the reports again. I apologise, my friends, but when I take photographs, every image has a reason for being there. I don't just take hundreds of pictures and hope a few are worth keeping. I take them because I want to document something specific, preserve a moment, or capture a detail that deserves attention. And with Big Mama, I genuinely want to share as much of this beautiful journey as possible. This report brings us through harvest and into the beginning of the post-harvest process. The next report will continue with the trimming, the remaining harvest details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. There's still plenty to come! For now, let's give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves. She's earned every bit of it. 👑❄️🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — HOW DID WE GET HERE? For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! This project brought twelve individual plants and phenotypes together in one shared growing room. The idea was to document how different genetics and phenotypes would develop under the same general environmental strategy, lighting schedule, and overall growing approach. One of the defining aspects of the experiment was our 12/12 from seed technique. Rather than starting with a traditional longer vegetative lighting period, the plants were grown under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark schedule from the beginning. We followed each individual plant week by week, documenting her structure, development, environmental conditions, and the differences we observed along the way. And Big Mama? She gave us one of the most enjoyable journeys in this room. From the beginning, she developed with a character that made her easy to appreciate. She built her structure. She developed her flowers. She became a substantial plant. And as the flowers grew heavier, the yo-yos became part of the family! 😂💪 But throughout all of that, she remained a beautiful, consistent plant to follow. No major problems throughout the run. No dramatic problems at the finish. Just a plant developing beautifully and reaching harvest in a condition that makes me genuinely happy. That's a wonderful outcome. And when we compare her diary with that of her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, we get an especially interesting contrast. Same genetic name. Same general room. Same broad environmental strategy. Two individual plants. Two very different experiences. Her sister gave us a more challenging journey. Big Mama gave us a remarkably smooth one. And that's exactly why following individual phenotypes is so interesting. 💚🌱👑 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA — THE GIRL WHO JUST KEPT SHINING I want to take a moment to appreciate this plant before we get into the harvest photographs. Because this girl has been amazing. And I don't mean that only because we're looking at her final flowers now. I mean throughout the run. She's been beautiful to document, enjoyable to follow, and consistent in a way that made the entire journey particularly satisfying. She didn't give us a major problem that suddenly changed the direction of the run. She didn't make us fight our way through a difficult final stage. She simply kept developing, and we kept documenting her progress. Of course, that doesn't mean every grow will be this smooth, or that one successful run guarantees the same experience with another plant. Growing always involves individual variation. But when a plant gives you a run like this, you appreciate it! 😂💚 And I especially appreciate that we've documented her from the earlier stages all the way through harvest. We can look back at the photographs and see how the plant developed. We can compare the structure at different points in the run. We can appreciate how the flowers evolved. And now we can follow her into drying and trimming. That's the beauty of a complete diary. We don't have to rely on our memory of what the plant looked like weeks ago. We've got the photographs. We've got the timeline. And we've got the story. Big Mama has been a pleasure from beginning to end. And now she gets her grand finale. 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 HARVEST DAY — ONE LAST LOOK AT BIG MAMA The first part of this update takes us into harvest day. Before the plant was cut, we took the opportunity to document her final appearance and capture those last photographs while she was still standing in the room. And I love having these images. There's something special about photographing a plant at this moment. You've followed her through weeks of development. You've seen her change. You've watched the flowers grow. You've supported the branches as the weight increased. And then, eventually, the growing chapter comes to an end. The photographs from harvest day preserve that moment. They show Big Mama as she looked at the end of her time in the room, before the plant was taken down and the post-harvest process began. And what a beautiful plant she was! She's compact compared with some of the taller girls we've followed, but she has developed a substantial structure and some seriously impressive-looking flowers. The density, the frost, and the overall appearance make her a pleasure to photograph. And because we've been following her individually, we can appreciate her for what she is rather than comparing her against a generic idea of what a plant should look like. She's Big Mama. She's got her own character. And she has absolutely earned her place in this adventure. 👑📸🌿 ──────────────────────── 📸 STUDIO TIME — LET'S GIVE THIS QUEEN HER PORTRAITS! Of course, we couldn't take Big Mama to harvest without giving her some time in the studio! 😂📸👑 The studio photographs allow us to look at her from different angles and focus on details that can be difficult to appreciate when the plant is standing in the room. We have individual flowers. We have different views of the plant. We have close-ups. And we have photographs that capture the character of this phenotype in a completely different way. I genuinely enjoy this part of documenting a grow. The room photographs tell us about the plant as a whole. The studio photographs let us slow down and appreciate the individual details. And the macro images give us an even closer look at the flowers and their visible frost. Every photograph contributes something different to the story. That's why I find it so difficult to reduce a collection like this to a handful of images. When I take a photograph, I'm usually trying to capture something specific. Sometimes it's the structure. Sometimes it's the flower. Sometimes it's the light catching the frost. Sometimes it's simply an angle that makes me appreciate the plant in a new way. And with Big Mama, there are plenty of moments worth preserving. So yes, we're sharing another large collection! 😂💚📸 Thank you for bearing with me while I divide the material into separate reports. I'd rather give these photographs the space they deserve than leave out half the story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ DENSE, COMPACT & FROSTY — EXACTLY HOW WE WANT TO REMEMBER HER Let's talk about those flowers! Because honestly, this girl looks fantastic. The flowers have a dense appearance, the frost is beautiful, and the overall structure gives us plenty to appreciate in the photographs. She's not trying to be the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to outgrow every other phenotype. She's doing her own thing, and she's done it beautifully. The compact structure, the flower development, and the visible resin-covered surfaces all contribute to the final appearance that we're documenting here. And I particularly enjoy seeing the close-ups alongside the photographs of the whole plant. One gives us the bigger picture. The other lets us appreciate the details. Together, they tell a much fuller story. Of course, photographs alone don't tell us everything about the final dried result, and appearance isn't a substitute for the eventual measurements and review. We'll get to those details in the next report. For now, I'm simply enjoying what we can see. Big Mama looks beautiful. She's frosty. She's compact. She's dense. And she's given us an absolutely lovely plant to document. ❄️👑🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌑 ONE LAST MOMENT IN THE DARK — BEFORE THE CHOP Another part of this update shows Big Mama in the room with the lights off, just before harvest. And I wanted to include these photographs because they're part of the actual timeline. We see the plant under the grow lights throughout the weekly reports, but the final moments before harvest give us a different view. The room is dark. The lighting that has been part of her environment is no longer illuminating the plant for our photographs. And we have the opportunity to capture her in that final moment before she leaves the growing space. I like documenting these small transitions. They're easy to overlook when we're focused on the finished flowers, but they connect one stage of the journey to the next. The growing phase is complete. The plant is ready to leave the room. And the next chapter is about drying, handling, trimming, and documenting what follows. This isn't just a collection of beautiful photographs. It's a record of how we moved from one stage to another. And Big Mama's final moments in the room deserve their place in that record. 🌑🌿📸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ FROM HARVEST TO DRYING — THE WHOLE-PLANT HANG Once harvest day was complete, we moved into the drying stage. For Big Mama, we hung the plant as a whole plant rather than immediately separating everything into individual branches. That means the photographs in this section show the plant hanging intact as part of our post-harvest process. And I love seeing this transition documented. The plant that occupied her place in the 8×8 room is now hanging in the drying area. The growing chapter is behind her. The drying chapter has begun. And we're still following the same principle that has guided the rest of this diary: document what actually happened. We're showing the plant as it is, at this stage of the process, rather than jumping straight to a photograph of the finished buds. Why? Because the stages in between matter too. The whole-plant hang is part of this particular harvest journey, and these photographs preserve that moment. We'll discuss more of the post-harvest process in the next report, alongside the trimming work and the remaining details. For now, Big Mama is officially out of the grow room and into the next chapter. 👑🌿➡️🌬️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE DRIED PLANT — ANOTHER CHAPTER OF HER STORY As the report progresses, we're also beginning to show the plant after drying. This is where the visual story changes again. We're no longer looking at the fresh plant as it stood in the room. We're looking at the dried plant material as it moves into the next part of the process. And I want to show that transition rather than skip over it. The whole-plant photographs help us connect the harvest to the drying stage. The later photographs begin to show the dried material and the flowers as we start working through the trimming process. These are different moments, and each one adds another piece to the timeline. We'll leave the more detailed trimming discussion and the final assessment for the next report, where we can give those subjects the room they deserve. But for now, it's wonderful to be able to look back at the full journey. From a beautiful plant growing in the 8×8 room... To harvest day... To the whole-plant hang... And now, to the dried plant and the first stages of trimming. One chapter at a time. 💚🌿📸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ THE TRIMMING BIN — THE WORK BEGINS! And here we go! The trimming process is beginning to appear in this report, with photographs of the dried material being handled and the first flowers starting to go through the process. We're showing the trimming bin, the dried plant material, and some of the flowers as we begin working through them. But let's be clear: this is only the beginning of the trimming story. We're not trying to squeeze the entire process into this update. There are more photographs to share, more details to explain, and more of the harvest journey that deserves its own space. So think of this section as a preview. We're opening the door to the trimming stage, but we're not closing the story here. 😂✂️🌸 And yes, we're showing flowers before they've been fully trimmed. I want to document the material as it actually looks at this point in the process, not pretend that everything arrives at its finished appearance immediately. There's a journey between the plant hanging to dry and the final presentation of the trimmed flowers. We're documenting that journey. The trimming bin is part of the process. The flowers are part of the process. And the photographs preserve the stages as we move through them. We'll return to this in the next report and give the trimming story the attention it deserves. ──────────────────────── 💚 WHY WE'RE DIVIDING THE REPORTS AGAIN My friends... I owe you another little apology. 😂💚 We're doing it again. We've got too many photographs, too many stages of the process, and too many details that I genuinely want to share. And I know that splitting reports can feel like we're stretching the story out. But that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to preserve the story properly. When I take photographs, I don't take them randomly. I take them because I see something worth documenting. The harvest-day photographs show the plant at the end of the growing phase. The studio photographs show her individual character. The close-ups let us appreciate the frost and the flower details. The dark-room photographs capture the final moments before harvest. The whole-plant hang documents the drying stage. And the trimming-bin photographs show the next part of the process beginning. Those are different stages, and I don't want to lose them simply because we have a limit on how many photographs we can share in one update. So we're dividing the story into chapters. This report covers the transition from the final growing moments into drying and the beginning of trimming. The next report will continue with the trimming process, the remaining harvest details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. Thank you for being patient with the enormous collection of photographs. I promise there's a reason behind the madness! 😂📸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT PLANTS — THE 8×8 ADVENTURE One of the things that makes Big Mama's story especially satisfying is the wider context of the 8×8 Adventure. We followed twelve individual plants sharing the same general room and environmental strategy. They experienced the same overall lighting ecosystem and growing approach, but they expressed themselves differently. Some plants gave us challenges. Some had their own peculiarities. Some developed different structures. And Big Mama gave us a remarkably smooth journey. From day one to harvest, she remained a beautiful plant to follow. That doesn't mean her experience can predict how every other plant will behave. It means that her individual journey is worth documenting and comparing with the others. And that's the whole point. We want to observe the differences, preserve the timelines, and learn from what each plant shows us. Big Mama's story is a particularly enjoyable one because she gave us so few problems along the way. She grew beautifully. She developed beautifully. And she reached harvest beautifully. Twelve plants. Twelve stories. And one very happy grower looking at this particular Queen's final photographs! 😂👑💚 ──────────────────────── 💬 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

And Big Mama has reached the end of her growing journey. 👑💚🌸 What can I say about this girl? She's been amazing. She's been beautiful. She's been compact, dense, and incredibly frosty. She's been a pleasure to document. And, most importantly, she's given us a remarkably smooth run from beginning to end. No major issues throughout the grow. No difficult final chapter. No dramatic last-minute problems. Just a beautiful plant developing in her own way and reaching harvest looking absolutely fantastic. And I genuinely appreciate that. Not every plant gives you the same experience, and that's part of what makes growing so interesting. Big Mama was one of those girls who made the journey enjoyable. She built her structure. She developed her flowers. She needed support as the weight increased. And she carried herself all the way to harvest without turning the final weeks into a battle. She's been a proper Mama! 😂👑💪 Now, we're moving into the post-harvest chapters. The whole-plant hang is documented. The first photographs of the dried plant are here. The trimming bin has made its appearance. And we've started showing the flowers as they begin their journey through the trimming process. But there's more to come. The next report will continue with the remaining trimming details, the final results, and the smoke review when we're ready to share it. I'm looking forward to bringing those pieces together and giving Big Mama the complete report she deserves. For now, I want to celebrate her growing journey. She was a beautiful plant from day one. She's a beautiful plant at harvest. And she's given us a fantastic collection of photographs to preserve that journey. Big Mama, you have been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for making this run such an enjoyable one. Keep shining, Queen. Your growing chapter is complete, but your story isn't finished yet! 👑❄️🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow Big Mama throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this journey. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🔥 Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy.

Day 56 holy cow this frosty bitch. She’s beautiful. Really really excited for this pretty lady. She just keeps throwing more frost. Really going to be happy to smoke this bitch!

Hab die Damen jetzt in die Blüte geschickt. Sie wachsen extrem, so dass ich immer mal wieder die Blätter, die die Blütenansätze verdecken, beschneiden muss bis jetzt sieht alles super und gesund aus, bin echt gespannt 😋.

chopped #1 on 1/21/25 started curing today 1/27/25 chopped #5 on 1/23/25 still hanging and drying. will update with weights and smoke reports and more pictures when dried and cured #1 33 grams. nice big nugs. i really like how the mainline turned out with the final product #5 32 grams smaller buds overall but the yeild is very similar. these are weights after trimming. i did a fairly heavy trim on thesr 2 plants. this diary started with 5 plants but because of my perpetual flowering set up, i have had 3 other diaries for the flowering stages of the other 3. The flowering stage of this diary are only plant #1 and plant #5
