Die Damen haben ordentlich zugelegt. Gorilla ist sehr hoch gewachsen, hat schöne Äste entwickelt und nun sprießen die Blüten. Sie wird definitiv länger brauchen wie Tropicana. Lady Tropicana bleibt klein, bekommt aber einen traumhaften Headbud. Die Farbe besticht durch ihre schönen violetten Nuancen. Der Duft wird immer stärker und wenn ich das Zelt öffne verströmt ein Citrusduft der Appetit auf mehr macht. Ich freue mich schon auf den Tag wenn ich das Glas mit den gereiften Blüten öffnen darf und es verkosten kann. Zusätzlich zum normalen Dünger habe ich einmalig mit 100ml/L Brenneseljauche gedüngt. Die Stigmen werden langsam braun und jetzt heißt es gut beobachten.

From the 15th day I start adding half the norm of Hesi TNT Complex 2ml/L, we test with 210 ppm so as not to burn the roots. On the 18th day, I moved the plant into a larger pot and watered it with half the recommended amount of nutrients and of course, transplanted the plant into a larger pot. On the 21st day, I did LST (Low-Stress Training).

Week 21/1 - 27/1

Autos moving along, I think the ones outside might be flowering a bit faster - there's also still 13+ hrs outside right now.

Spider mites since 2 days, already start getting black spots on the leaves, she's very close to ready, so cut half way, will keep a close eye on the bottom... For another couple of days...

11-22 Day 16 Water day! Bpp got around 600ml, everyone else got around 1k. had Silica, cal/mag, yucca and drops of balance. 11-24 Scc is a weirdo. She has 3 leafs, with 3 nodes on a pair? Whatever its weird and cool. Extra node didn't count on? 🤣 Removed the 1st nodes and their single leafs. Also removed the upper most leafs, for light. .

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 6 | Wearing the Crown with Confidence Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! There are always a few plants in every grow that naturally draw your attention. Not because they're demanding it... But because they quietly command it. Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of those plants. Now standing at approximately 90 cm, she's become one of the tallest ladies in the room, carrying herself with a strong, elegant structure while moving confidently deeper into early flower. Every week she seems to add another layer to her personality. And this week, she revealed one of my favourite characteristics yet. 🌱 Growing Her Own Story For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than providing a long vegetative period before flowering, every seedling receives twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very beginning of life. Instead of deciding when flowering begins... ...I allow each phenotype to decide for herself. Some race into bloom. Others take their time building structure before committing their energy to reproduction. Watching those different strategies unfold inside the very same environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this project. Nature always has her own plans. 👑 A Crown Begins to Form Flowering is now becoming impossible to miss. The main apex is beginning to stack fresh white pistils while the secondary branches are quickly following behind. Every growing tip is slowly transforming from vegetative growth into future flowers. Although these buds are still small, you can already start to imagine the shape they'll eventually become. This is one of my favourite stages of every grow. Each morning brings noticeable progress. Each day the plant looks just a little different than she did the day before. The excitement only continues to build. 🍃 Nine Fingers of Beauty One feature immediately caught my attention this week. Those incredible nine-fingered fan leaves. Large. Wide. Deep green. Absolutely beautiful. It's a question growers often ask: Do nine-fingered leaves mean indica or sativa? The honest answer is... Not necessarily. Leaf shape and leaflet count are influenced by both genetics and environmental conditions. While broad nine-fingered leaves are often associated with vigorous indica-leaning plants because of their wider leaflets, sativas and hybrids can produce nine, eleven, or even thirteen-fingered leaves as well when they're thriving. Rather than acting as a reliable indicator of lineage, high leaflet counts are often simply a sign that the plant is healthy, mature, and growing vigorously. In many ways, they're like a badge of confidence. When a plant has everything she needs—healthy roots, stable nutrition, proper lighting, and a balanced environment—she has the energy to produce these large solar panels that capture tremendous amounts of light. And that's exactly what these leaves are. Tiny power stations. Every one of them working around the clock to fuel the flowers that are only just beginning. 🌿 Strong Structure, Gentle Guidance Standing around 90 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has continued stretching while maintaining excellent branch spacing throughout the canopy. The weeks of gentle Low Stress Training are paying off beautifully. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, the goal has simply been to open the canopy and allow every future flower site its opportunity to receive direct light. Only small adjustments continue to be made. A little leaf tucking here. A gentle repositioning there. Sometimes the smallest interventions produce the biggest rewards later in flower. 🍽️ Feeding for the Next Chapter As flowering continues establishing itself, the nutrition program remains focused on supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower production. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be delivered through the AutoPot system, allowing the AquaValve to provide nutrient solution only when the plant has actually consumed what was previously available. One of my favourite aspects of AutoPots is their simplicity. The plant decides when she drinks. I simply make sure the reservoir gives her everything she needs. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Consistency continues to be one of the strongest foundations of this grow. This week's averages included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity has now been reduced slightly compared to previous weeks as flowering becomes more established, helping prepare the environment for healthy flower development while maintaining vigorous growth during the final stretch. Healthy gardens aren't built through dramatic changes. They're built through hundreds of small, consistent decisions. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell the story perfectly. The close-up shots capture clusters of fresh white pistils appearing across the tops of nearly every branch. The side profile highlights her impressive vertical growth and elegant branch spacing. And perhaps my favourite photograph of the week... ...that enormous nine-fingered fan leaf. Sometimes one leaf says everything you need to know about a plant's health. It almost looks too perfect to be real. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect the vertical stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small pistil clusters should begin merging into recognizable bud sites while resin production quietly prepares to make its first appearance. Training will remain minimal, allowing the plant's natural architecture to continue doing most of the work. Something tells me this lady is only just getting started. And if her early performance is any indication... She's planning to live up to her name. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these plants remind me that growing isn't about controlling nature. It's about creating the conditions that allow nature to express itself. Watching each phenotype reveal its own character has been one of the greatest joys of this entire project, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone sharing the journey alongside me. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers around the world can document their progress, learn from one another, and inspire the next generation of home growers. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrients supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that powers every leaf, every branch, and every flower. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment twenty-four hours a day. And finally... Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, leaves a comment, asks a question, shares advice, or simply stops by to see how the garden is evolving. Every update becomes a little more meaningful because it's shared with this amazing community. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues growing into the queen she's already beginning to look like. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Week 6 and my girls are finally in flower! 😍 And wow, the girl on the front stretched out a lot and it seems she's also a couple of days more mature than her sister! That also helped me to take some cool photos in a really short span of time! Hopefully the ones I took are enough! Don't forget to check the timelapse of well!! My girls now are taking flower fertilizers and I did some more aggressive LST on them, plus a very selective defoliation for both girls. I want the light to spread as much as possible to get some big flowers in the future! Sadly, not everything was good! I noticed some magnesium deficiency on the girl that's on the back. Perhaps I was giving them a water that was too high in pH? Or what else could it be? Maybe a root lockout? No idea but I decided to lower the pH of this week and see how she evolves. Anyway, that's all for now. Stay safe, please enjoy the photos and see you all next week! 😁

Baby 8-11 week

Week 8 in the books! The aroma is getting stronger every day and the trichomes just keep multiplying - it's like they're on a mission Every time I open the tent, I feel like Alice in Wonderland, just standing there for ages admiring what nature can pull off. This strain has been super rewarding so far - the buds keep packing on size, and just when I think they've hit their limit, the next week they surprise me again! They're getting denser, stickier, and honestly, I couldn't be happier. I did run into a few hiccups with the root system in these later weeks, but the genetics stayed strong and pushed through like champs💪. The front-left lady looks a little ahead of the others - pistils and trichomes suggest she's racing toward the finish line. I'll probably start harvesting her this week. As always, any tips are more than welcome - and good luck to everyone else in bloom!🌸❄️🔝

Plants reacting good to transplant

Bud voilette très résineux

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !! 1/6/26 5:32AM NosfurCHURUtu......the cat treat vampire.....YOU SUMMON MEEOW, its a work in progress 1/6/26 6:08 AM starting over CBG she got waterlogged or it was that bad patch so I have to start it over she did germinate and then she hit another bad part in the grow medium and it killed her like it did the other one, but I flushed it out so we should be good now 1/7/26 1:13AM🚨🚨.I asked about light efficiency and Grok said:.... That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/6/26 5:32AM The ICE T character arc journey!!!!!!! A film by a White man....HA HA HA!!!! 1/7/26 6:10AM...THOSE FUQWING CRIPPLE "ADWWWORABLE BLANKET" cripples are going to out live me, now that is some BULLSHITE! IM ALSO HAVEING ISSUES WITH A LARGE GROUP OF CERTAIN KIND OF PERSONSS...SO I HAD AN IDEA...BUT.....IT TURNS OUT THE GERMANS HAD THE SAME IDEA 80 YEARS AGO...AND I JUST DONT WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A COPY CAT. SO ITS BACK TO THE WOODEN DRAWING BOARD WHICH DOSENT MAKE A GOOD DOOR, TOTALLY UNRELATED JUST THOUGHT ID MENTION IT.

Week 10: Post-Transplant Recovery, Storm Shielding & DP6 Explodes! Growth Stage: Vegetative Strains: Durban Poison (DP1 DP4 DP5 DP6) ​🌿 Week Recap & Overview ​What a massive and busy week for the Durban crew. We kicked things off with a major milestone over Mother's Day weekend, executing the big transplant project to move the main Durban Poison quartet into their massive, permanent 25-gallon containers. It required mixing up a mountain of soil and some serious muscle to get all that custom 50/50 potting and organic garden soil blend ready, but the squad knocked it out perfectly. ​ Just as the girls were settling into their new shoes, the High Plains threw a classic wrench in the gears with a heavy May storm. We immediately pivoted into full frost-protection protocol. Thanks to the custom DIY furniture dollies, we were able to keep those heavy 25-gallon stations mobile. We bundled them down with sheets, lined them with hot water bottles for ambient heat, and shielded them securely from the elements. ​The strategy paid off beautifully. The plants survived the storm completely unscathed, showing incredible resilience. ​📐 Growth & Development ​The Comeback Queen (DP6): The absolute highlight of the week. DP6 has officially shed the "runt" title and undergone a massive growth spurt. She has charged right up to the front line and is now running as one of the true leaders of the pack! ​DP5: Sitting strong and vibrant at 11 inches tall. Her canopy is lush, tight, and pushing out healthy, wide fan leaves with great node spacing. ​The 25-Gallon Quartet (DP1 DP4 DP5 and DP6): Recovering beautifully from the transplant and weather stress. The root systems are already exploring their massive new footprint, and the main stalks are thickening up nicely. ​🛠️ Garden Upgrades & Routine ​Irrigation: The DIY dual-timer irrigation manifold is fully built and ready to rock. The custom-drilled hose rings are set up for individual zones, which is going to make dialing in moisture levels for those massive 25-gallon pots an absolute breeze. ​Nutrients & IPM: Sticking to the organic regimen, utilizing FOOP organic nutrients, Veg/Sweetener formulas, and sea kelp tonics to help them bounce back from transplant shock and the cold snap. The African Marigold "security team" is strategically placed and on high alert to keep whiteflies and aphids away from the fresh new growth. Update: every place of serenity needs a name. Welcome to "The Oasis Project"

Flowers all the way. Clean the bottom part then add nutrients mixed with 1l of water directly to coco coir. Hope not overdose. Looking extremely healthy and stress seems not making any issues for her. Smashed 1 stem again to produce auxins.

Nové větve hezky vyrostly. Dám jim ještě 2 týdny a potom bych rád přepnul světlo na 12/12 Na rostlinách se objevují lehké náznaky popálení živinami. Některé listy mají hnědé konečky ale opravdu jen v malé míře D51 Pondělí: Použil jsme LST abych udržel rostliny v jedné výšce. Během LST mi z 50% praskla 2 větve u HazeBerry 2 ve spoji po posledním zastřižení . Jedna větev je v pořádku. Druhá po 3 dnech vypadá že přežije i když vypadala velmi špatně.
