É stato il mio primo ciclo di coltivazione e purtroppo ho fatto molti errori che mi serviranno da esperienza. Ho sbagliato inizialmente la distanza della lampada e le piccole si sono allungate troppo, poi ho iniziato LST forse troppo presto e non sono riuscito a orientare bene i rami per farle crescere tutte alla stessa altezza infatti alcuni fiori sono proprio piccolo rispetto ad altri, altro errore quello di non misurare il PH e questo mi ha portato ad avere inizialmente carenze di fosforo e potassio per poi continuare con calcio. Ho sbagliato le dosi di fertilizzanti che dal prossimo ciclo alzerò per provare ad avere risultati maggiori in termini di quantità e infine come ultimo errore riconosco di aver iniziato il flush troppo presto (17 giorni di flush) quando avrei potuto dargli almeno ancora un’altra irrigata di fertilizzanti per far gonfiare i fiori. Nonostante tutto sono contento ed é stato molto divertente e istruttivo, ora le piante stanno seccando e poi le passerò in concia per provare finalmente il sapore. Ho fatto una pesata a umido solo di una pianta perché tutte e due insieme non ci stavano ma credo sia sballata come misurazione quindi peserò direttamente a secco. A secco sono risultati puliti 68g, ho fatto una concia di 3 settimane e il sapore é davvero buono. Sballo da divano, molto potente come effetto. Sono molto soddisfatto

Did first nutrient feeding w fox farms nutes. Very little. Things were going perfect then I woke up this am to slight curling again. I changed light distance and put in my other light as well so I’m now in need of ac unit or another fan bc it’s getting hotter, 85. Or I figure I could run my exhaust fan 24/7 and take it off my humidity switch but then I got to possibly get another humidifier bc the exhaust fan takes the humidity out of the room. Idk but the girls all in all are looking good to me. started lst on 6/30 using grow big and big bloom now

Una vez pasados los dias huele bién, sabe bién y buen efecto. Sabor: Matices dulces y cítricos fácil de cultivar.

I shouldn't have started the lst training on her because she started flower very fast and early so she ended uo being very small, which I hate because It has a very skunk citric aroma very powerful, I had a little harvest of 10g counting the little flowers which I used to make cannabutter to make some edibles.I wish I could have a huge harvest of this amazing strain, looking forward to grow her again. 🤞💚🌱💎

Plain RO water

What a monster had to supercrop hey didn’t mind it at all now 12/12 lets see and hope isnt a boy

I had to defoliate the two big ones because I overwatered them and they started to droop down

for this grow i am not using any techniques, just growing.

Week 13 (Aug/1/2024-Aug/7/2024) DAY85 - Nothing new. Water, check, repeat. Added Kelp Meal for nutrients this week. I am thinking how I will separate the plants this week--they're starting to bunch up together--staggered may be the best option to minimize space in the garden. DAY 89 - Gave one of the girls to my buddy. Helped with the bunching of the plants in a limited space. They're a lot to handle when you harvest alone. Kept the tall one, the short two(LST), the different one in the 45 gallon pot, and the bushy one(LST-ish). By the way: I include germination as part of the day count. So basically day 1 is when I put the seed in water. These seeds all rooted within 48 hours.

Environment + Pests + Setup This week (at day 31) I decided to end the battle against fungus gnats. Even after almost three weeks of dried-out soil, dozens of adult insects could be seen, which told me that there were pockets of moisture that I coouldn't influence. Accordingly, I went back to the original plan I had outlined earlier: bring the system into balance and use sand and nematodes. Since I should no longer have any problems with low RH, I have also reactivated the exhaust fan, which lead to the values you can see above. Nutrients + Environment From the outset, the plants showed a slight nitrogen deficiency, which was evident in their rather pale, light green color. This is probably due to the fact that the substrate (until now) did not contain enough moisture to allow metabolic and decomposition processes to proceed efficiently. Directly after watering I got reassured that my choice was right and the soil still alive, healthy, and ready to 'get back to work': look at those springtails! Plants On day 30, I topped the plants. Both had already formed three nodes and started to develop healthy side branches at all of these nodes. So, according to my plan, I removed the main shoot, leaving enough space for the stump to encapsulate without damaging the healthy plant. I also removed one shoot from each of the middle nodes, as I don't want branches that already grow towards the center (the branches will grow towards the light anyway, and this way I can ensure that there is enough air circulation and room for expansion). Upcoming: Start of LST

8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A 💚 Sometimes The Best Thing We Can Do Is Watch Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And if you've been following this project for a while, you already know that every week doesn't necessarily bring another big intervention. Sometimes there are scissors. Sometimes there is training. Sometimes there are environmental changes. Sometimes there are surprises. And sometimes... The plants simply reach a point where they don't need us doing much at all. That's where we are this week. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is continuing her journey exactly as we've come to expect from her. Compact. Calm. Beautiful. And completely comfortable doing things at her own pace. So this week, we're not going to manufacture work just so we can say we did something. We're going to watch. We're going to water. We're going to provide what she asks for. And we're going to let her flower. Because at this stage... That's exactly what she needs. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – The Quiet Part Of Flowering There is something interesting about reaching this stage of a grow. Earlier in the cycle, there is always something happening. Training. Defoliation. Canopy management. Branch positioning. Establishing the plants. Adjusting the environment. Watching the plants develop. But eventually, you reach a point where the foundation has already been built. The plant has its structure. The flowering sites are established. The roots are established. The irrigation is established. The lighting is established. The nutrition is established. And now... The plant has to do the work. That's where Blueberry Muffin is right now. We're not ignoring her. Far from it. We're watching closely. But watching doesn't always mean touching. And sometimes knowing when not to intervene is just as important as knowing when to intervene. ──────────────────────── 🌿 12/12 From Seed – Why This Stage Is So Interesting One of the things that makes this particular project so interesting is that these plants have been grown under 12/12 from seed. That's very different from taking a traditionally vegetated plant and flipping it into flower after building a large vegetative structure. With 12/12 from seed, we're allowing the plant to develop and flower under the same photoperiod from the beginning. That means the architecture we see now is the result of the plant expressing itself under those conditions rather than being built through a long conventional vegetative period before the flip. And that's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. We're not simply asking: "What does this strain look like?" We're asking: "What does this particular phenotype decide to become under this particular growing philosophy?" And Blueberry Muffin has answered that question pretty clearly. She likes being compact. She likes taking her time. And she seems perfectly happy building flowers without trying to take over the room. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 Why We're Not Doing Much Right Now At this stage of flowering, I don't see a reason to keep manipulating the plant simply because I have scissors available. 😂 The structure is already established. The canopy is already where we want it. The flowers are developing. The foliage is supporting the plant. And there isn't anything obvious asking for intervention. So what do we do? We provide what she needs. Water. Nutrition. Light. Airflow. A stable environment. And time. That's it. It sounds simple. And honestly... It is. But simple doesn't mean careless. Quite the opposite. This is the point where observation becomes extremely important. We're watching the flowers. We're watching the foliage. We're watching the plant's overall posture. We're watching how quickly she is consuming water. We're watching environmental conditions. And if she tells us something needs attention... We'll respond. Until then? Let her be. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Plant Gets The Final Vote This has always been one of the principles behind the 8×8 Adventure. The numbers are useful. The equipment is useful. The experience is useful. But ultimately... The plant gets the final vote. We can measure everything. We can record temperatures. We can record pH. We can record EC. We can measure light. We can track irrigation. But then you look at the plant. And sometimes she tells you more in five seconds than a spreadsheet can tell you in five hours. Blueberry Muffin looks comfortable. She's developing. She's flowering. She's maintaining healthy foliage. And she isn't asking for anything dramatic. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 💡 A Major Lighting Upgrade – Two More Black Series 600W Fixtures Now... Although we're not doing much to the plants themselves... We did make a pretty significant change to the lighting environment this week. Future of Grow provided us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test and see how the plants respond. And when we added them... Well... The plants suddenly had access to a lot more light. 😂💡 The PPFD increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running the fixtures at maximum power because we had the available wattage, we adjusted the output. We brought the fixtures down in power to find a level that made more sense for the room and the plants. We're currently running at approximately 59% power from the plug. At this setting, we're seeing an average of approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the actual intensity naturally becoming lower depending on plant height and position. And honestly? I'm very happy with that. ──────────────────────── 🔌 More Power Doesn't Automatically Mean Better This is something I think is worth emphasizing. Just because you have more lighting available doesn't mean you have to run everything at maximum output. We added two more powerful fixtures. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Simple. 😂 There is no prize for running the LEDs at 100%. The objective is to create an environment where the plants can actually make good use of the light being provided. And by lowering the output, we're also reducing unnecessary electrical consumption. That's a win in several directions. Less electricity. Less unnecessary stress on the fixtures. Less unnecessary heat from running equipment harder than necessary. And we're still providing a very strong light environment. So sometimes... Turning the dial down is actually the smart move. ──────────────────────── 💡 1,500 PPFD At The Top – Then Naturally Less Below The approximately 1,500 PPFD average across the top canopy is just that: An upper-canopy measurement. Not every flower on the plant receives the same intensity. Plant height changes things. Canopy position changes things. Leaf angle changes things. Distance from the fixtures changes things. And that's perfectly normal. This is also where the layered lighting philosophy of the 8×8 Adventure becomes interesting. We're not trying to make every single part of the plant receive exactly the same amount of light. We're trying to create a useful overall light environment. And with these additional Future of Grow fixtures now in place, we have considerably more lighting capability available to us. We can control it. We can adjust it. And we can find the level that makes sense. That's much more useful than simply having more watts for the sake of having more watts. ──────────────────────── 🙏 A Huge Shout-Out To Future Of Grow I want to give Future of Grow a particularly big thank you this week. Providing these two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gives us the opportunity to test something that I find extremely interesting: What happens when we substantially increase the available lighting power... and then control it to find the level we actually want? That's a much more interesting experiment than simply turning everything to maximum and calling it a day. We're going to watch. We're going to compare. We're going to see how the plants respond. And we're going to document the results. That's exactly what I enjoy about this project. We're not just growing. We're experimenting. We're observing. And we're learning. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Blueberry Muffin Under The New Light And Blueberry Muffin? She's taking it beautifully. Her compact architecture makes her particularly interesting to watch under this new lighting environment. The flowers are continuing to develop. The foliage remains healthy. And the plant isn't giving me any reason to start changing things simply for the sake of changing them. So we're going to leave her alone. The lights are doing their job. The roots are doing their job. The plant is doing her job. My job is simply to make sure everything around her continues functioning properly. And honestly... I really enjoy that part. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Quiet Personality Of Pheno A If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you'll know that Blueberry Muffin Pheno A has never been the loudest personality in the room. She didn't try to become the tallest. She didn't demand constant training. She didn't explode vertically. She simply established her own rhythm. And that rhythm continues. She's compact. She's controlled. She's quietly productive. And now she's entering the later part of flowering with a beautiful collection of developing flowers. There is something really satisfying about that. She hasn't needed to be pushed. She hasn't needed to be forced. She's simply been allowed to become what she wanted to become. And I think that's one of the most interesting things about phenotype hunting. Sometimes the plant tells you exactly who she is. You just have to pay attention. ──────────────────────── 🌿 What We've Done To Get Here It's also worth remembering that this quiet week didn't happen by accident. There was a lot of work before we reached this point. We established the plants. We developed the structure. We trained where necessary. We managed the canopy. We maintained the environment. We established the irrigation. We built the nutritional program. We adjusted lighting. We observed the plant. And eventually... All that preparation brings you to a stage where the plant doesn't need constant intervention anymore. That's the payoff. The work doesn't disappear. It simply changes. Earlier: "What do I need to do?" Now: "What is she telling me?" And those are very different questions. ──────────────────────── 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation – A Small Step Forward The flowering nutrition has been increased slightly this week. We're not making a dramatic change. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to 2.3 ml/L. The current recipe is: • Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L That small increase in Terra Bloom has brought the EC up slightly as well. We're now sitting around 2.14 mS/cm. Nothing dramatic. Just a small, measured increase as the plants continue progressing through flowering. I like these kinds of adjustments. We're not suddenly changing the entire program. We're simply giving the plants a little more support and watching how they respond. Irrigation is currently around: 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours. And as always... The plant gets the final vote. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 75 cm The environment remains stable, and Blueberry Muffin continues responding beautifully. Summer is still capable of giving us small fluctuations, of course, but we're keeping the important variables controlled and avoiding unnecessary swings. At this stage, stability is more valuable than constantly chasing perfection. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Where Observation Becomes Everything At this stage, the diary becomes less about describing something dramatic that happened and more about documenting subtle changes. Are the flowers gaining size? Are the pistils progressing? Is the foliage maintaining its colour? Is the plant drinking differently? Is the structure changing? Is resin development becoming more obvious? Those little observations become increasingly important as flowering progresses. And that's why I still love taking the photographs every week. Because sometimes the change isn't obvious when you're standing in front of the plant every day. Then you put two photographs next to each other... And suddenly: There it is. She's changed. She's matured. She's moved forward. That's the beauty of documentation. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead – What Happens Now? From here, I don't expect dramatic changes. And that's actually a good thing. The coming weeks are about maturity. The plant will continue developing the flowers she has already established. We'll watch them gain size and density. We'll watch the pistils change. We'll watch the resin develop. We'll continue monitoring the foliage. And we'll keep providing whatever she asks for. The new Future of Grow lighting gives us another variable to observe as well. We've increased our lighting capability substantially, then brought the output down to a level we're comfortable with. Now we'll watch what the plants do with that available light. And Blueberry Muffin? She gets to continue being Blueberry Muffin. Quiet. Compact. Patient. And increasingly floral. 💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let The Girl Finish There is something I really enjoy about this stage of a grow. You reach a point where you realize: We've done enough. Not because we're finished. But because the plant has reached the point where more intervention isn't necessarily better. She's got her structure. She's got her roots. She's got her flowers. She's got her light. She's got her nutrition. She's got her water. She's got her environment. Now... She needs time. And I think that's especially true with a 12/12-from-seed plant like Blueberry Muffin. We've watched her develop under this philosophy from the beginning. We haven't tried to turn her into something she's not. We've allowed her compact personality to remain. And now we're getting to see what that personality produces when given enough time to finish. So no... There isn't a huge training story this week. There isn't a dramatic intervention. There isn't a crisis. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy about that. 😂💚 Sometimes the best update is: She's happy. She's flowering. She's developing beautifully. And we're letting her do it. That's Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Quietly getting the job done. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and follow this beautiful phenotype throughout her journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting this flowering cycle and helping us keep the plants moving forward consistently. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for not only providing the Black Series lighting we've already been using, but now also for providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8×8 Adventure. Having the opportunity to increase the available lighting power and then dial it back to find the level that makes sense for the plants is exactly the kind of real-world testing I enjoy documenting. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for the additional lighting support deeper within the canopy. Thank you as well to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every plant continues writing her own story. Some are loud. Some are fast. Some demand attention. And some... like Blueberry Muffin... simply keep their heads down and quietly get the job done. This week, there's not much more I want to do to her. And that's okay. Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to intervene. And sometimes... it's about knowing when to step back. Blueberry Muffin is flowering. She's healthy. She's developing. She's getting the photons. She's getting a little more nutrition. And now we're going to give her the one thing no grower can manufacture: time. 💚🌸 Until next week... Keep doing your thing, beautiful girl. I'll be watching. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

Hello Hello 🙂 😇 🙃 Today is day number 50, firs day of week 8th 😇 I never ever grow so fast strains, FB seeds are a monsters 😇 💪 🙏 Update: Day 50 The Cinderella and the Bruce Banner start to show some deficiency of Cal and Mg as they flowering wildly. Not a big deal I just increase CalMag Agent from 0.3ml/l to 0,5ml/l plus I'll add BN Roots for better nutrients intake. I hope this will help 🙏 All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 💪 🙏

All appears well with these Ladies 😸 All the plants are continuing to develop at a steady rate, some a bit better than others 🤷‍♂️ They all smell amazing! They are all very similar, but not the same. The three main aromas I’m smelling are citrus, cherries and gas. They are all continuing on the same nutrient feed as last week and appear healthy. Happy with how everything looks, until next time 🌱💚

Its good growing plant,good cloning its all from 1 freebie seed!On flowering they stretching 2x maybe more im not expect it but all good.think need more Silica for plant like that for more strong stems

Hab das Netz wieder entfernt 😆 natürlich behutsam Hab angefangen, nur noch Wasser zu gießen. 12 Liter mit EC bei 300, pH 6,5 In 10 Tagen sollte es in etwa soweit sein. Ich habe ab morgen Urlaub und werde dann anfangen, täglich die Trichome zu untersuchen. Fotos folgen!!!! 🏼 Auf ein gezieltes Aushungern, Freunde ❤️

Still going strong, no problems at all.. This is a time of struggle I want do to something but the only thing to do is being patient. Trichomes are still clear, smell is starting to become stronger, and they are already sticky as fuck :) UPDATE: Day 60 [f39] some leaves are starting to yellow.. but it should be OK by now. I will start with Nitrogen deprivation in a couple of days.

The bud‘s smell like lemon and they are small but this was my fail i think. Elsa was doing a Great Job and I will take every product again in Grows in the Future. Thx

15th day into flowering- Trim some Fan leaves /anything cover canopy. 18TH DAY FLOWER- LOLI POPPING. JUST WATER EVERY 3 DAYS PH 6.5

Ya se van viendo los primeros pistilos blancos, ya llevan dos semanas de 12 horas de luz, he realizado poda de bajos y he aumentado tanto el PH como la EC para que vayan cogiendo forma las flores, asimilando más fósforo y potasio al estar el PH a 6.3, voy alternando los abonados con un riego de agua, un riego con abono, respetando el rango de PH correspondiente y midiendo la EC para que este a 0.4, si me da menos subo con Calmag de Biobizz, en dos semanas estarán listas para pasar al armario grande, con 300w de led para sus últimas 4 semanas hacer que engorden bien los cogollos, buenos humos!!!!😃
