What to say about this week? For starters LST was started this week. Initially I used garden ties but soon after replaced them with 6” garden staples . 2 of the 6 girls began throwing pistals resulting from the LST starting around day 15 YIKES 😬. The Zkittlez & the Runtz both from (Expert Seeds ) began giving the 5x5 its first smells . The LST so far has been a pleasure no ooosy daisies so far & the girls are showing what they are made of . The secondary shoots have great potential to form a nice round bush that I can train out into an even-as-possible canopy . Today is day 21 & day 20 for this bunch . They are only using Gaia Green dry amendments for feedings but I decided to take some advice given to another grower & supplement my girls with some compost tea . NO I DONT THINK THEY NEED ANYTHING ADDITIONALLY IM REALLY HAPPY SO FAR WITH MY NUTES bbbbuuuuuttttttt in the short chance that my ladies may take a liking to an occasional tea & reward my pampering with large , long , frosty, stacked cola’s . . Thennnn I’m supplementing , I consider this all “4-play” for my ladies Ik a giver 🤷‍♀️😭 My only concerns are racing against this clock to get as much size & solid structure before flowering sets in I’ve really got my heart set on a certain outcome & I’m one for a good challenge. Finally , atleast as much as I can remember, I increased the dimmer knob on the light from 65% to about 78%. I won’t increase the watts any higher until bloom sets in fully & at that point I’ll be turning it to 100% raising it a maybe 6 inches & watching patiently for my girls to start praying 🙏 to it . Week 3 in the books !

Day 20 of flower, had to switch to a closed loop with an ac in the lung room due to high humidity and temps.

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋

Hab mal paar Querstreben rein gemacht und bissl mit Sodastream gefüttert

Start of week 5! Plants are doing great! Still some P & K deficiencies showing, but overall the bud development is phenomenal on the blueberries and is coming along nicely on the super lemon haze. I am still feeding an extra 2 liters to the Slh, this time at full dosage of part A & B, this seems to have helped with this past week (4). The blueberry are super sticky and smell amazing!

Aug 17: Auto Overdose is a nice plant but it’s not an auto. I started this one late and only topped it once thinking it was an auto. Other growers have noticed it isn’t an auto too, so I forced it in the dark garage. Flowering has to be started by the end of July here or it won’t finish in the fall. The flowers are forming quickly and I suspect this is actually Overdose Fast. So far so good, and good genetics for a Fast plant. Aug 18: no UV light today unfortunately but it was decently sunny. Scrog net certainly seems like a good idea. This plant is asymmetrical because I broke one of the two main stems a couple weeks after topping. This changed the shape of the plant so it’s become one-sided as if I was growing it up against a wall. Lots of nice lower branches came up so she looks pretty good now.

Bring the total to six, so far so good

Oh man, this lavender auto is really starting to come to life! I defoliated it a bit and it didn't even flinch. That's a true sign of a tough plant, and I love it. It's like having a little green warrior in my grow room. And let's talk about Aptus, my nutrient sponsor. I swear by their products, they are the real deal. I've been following their feeding schedule and it's like the plant is just drinking it up. It's like giving a thirsty person a glass of water on a hot day - they just chug it down! Now that we're in the first week of flowering, I'm getting excited to see those buds start to really form. It's like watching a baby grow up right in front of my eyes. And who knows, maybe with all that lavender, the plant will make some moon-inspired magic happen. Hey, I hear there's a blue moon coming up - maybe we'll get some extra magic out of this lavender auto! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics -Seeds Mafia Lavender Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Auto Lavender Feminized is a very popular type of cannabis, whose strong therapeutic effects are highly appreciated. It has a flowering period of approximately 9-10 weeks and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It is a resistant variety which can be cared for easily. This variety is mostly appreciated because it produces strong, durable and resistant plants. Its branches and stem usually grow vertically rather than horizontally. It reaches heights of 120 cm and the harvests amount to 90 grams/plant. In addition, it contains high levels of THC- up to 20%. As their name suggests, the plants that grow from Auto Lavender Feminized seeds have a smell and taste similar to those of lavender, also comprising mint and rosemary tones. This is a variety of cannabis that is usually appreciated for its pleasant fragrance and high productivity, seeing as its buds and stem produce an impressive quantity of resin. If you’re looking for another kind of feminized, autoflowering variety, Auto Lavender Feminized will not disappoint you for sure! auto Lavender Feminized is a feminized, autoflowering variety, obtained by crossing the Lavender and Lowryder 2 species. The plants that grow from this variety have a very specific structure: they are tall, vigorous, and have large branches. At the end of the flowering period, the plants acquire an orange-gold shade

defoliated some more and it grew ALOT. Buds getting fat!! cant wait to harvest.

Taken On Day 63, miscalculated last week they were started 12/18/17. Fat buds on the two big ones and real sticky, can't make out the smell yet but it's pretty strong at this point. Added some tnbnaturals co2 today idk how well it works but I figured I would try it out. Mainline one is a week or so behind in terms of maturity but is getting fed whatever is in the res it's hooked up to. Flushed all 3 due to salt build up early in the week which is why the tips are burnt and some calmag deficiency and yellowing. 1-2 more weeks I think.

💜 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B The Little Frosty Queen Is Not So Little Anymore… ❄️💜👑🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... GUESS WHO FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOW UP PROPERLY FOR THE CAMERA? 😂📸 Our little Purple Haze Pheno B. And I have to say... I'm really, really happy we have the photographs this week. Because this girl deserves them. 💜❄️👑 For a long time, her story has been about being the smaller sister. The slower sister. The girl taking the scenic route while Pheno A was basically driving with the accelerator welded to the floor. 😂💜🚀 But now? Something has changed. She's stacking. She's growing. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And when I look closely at those flowers... HOLY SHIT. 😂❄️🌸 This girl may not be big in the same way her sister is... but she's definitely BIG. Just in her own way. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly frosty. She's developing some beautiful flower structure. And the amount of frost is getting to the point where even the leaves are starting to curl around those flowers under the weight of everything happening there. That's the kind of problem I don't mind looking at. 😂💜❄️ So this week... we finally get to give our Little Frosty Queen the proper spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 13 – THE LITTLE QUEEN IS STACKING Let's start with the biggest change. She's stacking. And she's stacking beautifully. 🌸🌸🌸 This is one of those moments where I have to admit that the girl I was calling "slow" is starting to make me eat my words. 😂 She's still slower than her sister. Absolutely. She's still smaller. Absolutely. But she's moving. And more importantly... she's building. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The structures are becoming denser. The individual flower sites are starting to look increasingly developed. And the frost? Well... the frost is becoming ridiculous. ❄️❄️❄️ This girl is starting to look like somebody accidentally turned the trichome machine up too high. 😂💜 And I'm absolutely loving it. ──────────────────────── 💜 SMALL DOESN'T MEAN SMALL FLOWERS This is probably the biggest misconception I could have if I only described this girl by her size. Yes. She's not a giant. She's not standing there trying to compete with her sister's enormous architecture. She's more compact. More controlled. More contained. But look at the flowers. 😂 That's where the story changes. She's not small in the way that matters. She's small in overall plant size... but her flowers are becoming increasingly substantial. Dense. Structured. Frosty. Beautiful. So when I say: "She's not big..." I immediately have to follow it with: "...but she's big." 😂💜👑 Because she absolutely is. She's making herself noticed in a completely different way. Her sister dominates through size. Pheno B is starting to dominate through density and frost. And honestly? I love that contrast. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROSTY QUEEN HAS ENTERED ANOTHER LEVEL This girl has always had frost. That isn't new. But this week? It's becoming difficult to ignore. ❄️💜❄️ The flowers are absolutely coated. And when you get closer with the camera, the details become ridiculous. The sugar leaves are carrying frost. The flowers are carrying frost. The little structures around the developing buds are catching the light. And suddenly... you understand why this girl earned the name: The Little Frosty Queen. 👑❄️ But there's something else I really noticed. Some of those leaves are beginning to curl around the flowers. And when you look closely at them... they're absolutely covered. It's almost like the plant is wrapping the flowers in a layer of frosty decoration. 😂❄️🌿 She's not just getting frosty. She's becoming a frost-covered little monster. And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE BUDS – THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING NOW Another thing that immediately catches my attention is the density. The flowers aren't just developing outward. They're starting to look increasingly compact. Dense. Packed. Substantial. And that's really interesting because earlier in the diary, so much of her story was about waiting. Waiting for her to move. Waiting for her to catch up. Waiting for her to show us more. Well... I think she's finally decided: "Okay, okay, I'm ready." 😂💜 And now she's showing us. The structure is there. The flowers are developing. The stacking is happening. And the density is becoming much more obvious. That's the progression I wanted to see. Not necessarily a huge increase in plant size... but a clear increase in what she's building. And that's exactly what we're getting. ──────────────────────── 👭 THE TWO SISTERS ARE STILL COMPLETELY DIFFERENT This comparison is getting more interesting every week. Purple Haze Pheno A: 💜 Big 💜 Tall 💜 Massive flower structures 💜 Extremely noticeable 💜 Fast-moving Purple Haze Pheno B: 💜 More compact 💜 Smaller overall 💜 Dense flowers 💜 Extremely frosty 💜 Slower, but catching up in her own way Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at them. 😂💜 They're telling two completely different stories. And this is exactly why I love having both phenotypes in the same room. If I only had Pheno B, I might simply say: "That's Purple Haze." But because I have Pheno A beside her... I can see just how differently two phenotypes can express themselves. One became the Big Mama. The other became the Little Frosty Queen. And honestly? Both are fucking beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL THE SLOWER GIRL – BUT NOW SHE'S MOVING I'm not going to rewrite history. 😂 She's still one of the slower girls in the room. She's still behind her sister. And she's definitely taken her sweet time getting here. But... she's moving. That's the important part. She's not stalled. She's not sitting there waiting for something magical to happen. She's actively developing. She's stacking. She's building. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And she's becoming more impressive every time I look at her. That's progress. And I don't need her to suddenly become the fastest plant in the room. I just need her to keep being herself. And right now? She's doing a damn good job of that. 💜❄️🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 YES – WE HAVE PHOTOS! And yes... WE HAVE PHOTOS. 😂📸💜 After the photographic crimes of previous weeks, I am extremely happy to report that the Little Frosty Queen has officially reclaimed her portrait privileges. No missing folders. No mysterious camera-roll disappearance. No "Where's Purple Haze B?" She's here. She's photographed. She's documented. And honestly... I'm glad. Because this week, there is actually a lot to see. The close-ups show the frost. The wider photographs show her structure. The flower shots show the stacking. And together they tell a much better story than a general room photograph ever could. This girl deserved her own gallery. And now she has one. 👑📸❄️ ──────────────────────── 💎 THE CAMERA IS STARTING TO HAVE A PROBLEM I think the camera might actually be struggling with this girl. 😂📸 Because every time I get closer... there's more frost. You start with: "Nice flower." Then: "Oh, that's frosty." Then: "Okay... that's VERY frosty." Then: "Why are the leaves covered in this much frost?" 😂❄️💜 And that's exactly what I love about macro photography. The naked eye gives you the overall impression. The camera gives you the details. And this girl has details. Lots of them. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT RESULT The environment hasn't been specially changed for her. She's still part of the same upgraded 8×8 lighting environment. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain in place. We're controlling their output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: 🔌 ~59% power from the plug With approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... the photons are the same. The response isn't. That's the fascinating part. Pheno A takes those conditions and builds a huge plant with enormous flowers. Pheno B takes those same conditions and gives us a more compact structure with increasingly dense and extremely frosty flowers. Same artificial sun. Different interpretation. Different genetics. Different expression. That's the 8×8 Adventure. 💜☀️🌿 ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS FLYING The Future of Grow lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting parts of this run. We have more available lighting capability than we had before. But we're not just throwing everything at maximum power. We're controlling it. We're measuring. We're observing. We're finding the operating point that makes sense for the room. And around 59% power from the plug, we're getting approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of artificial sunlight. 😂☀️ And our Little Frosty Queen is sitting underneath it... turning those photons into some seriously beautiful flowers. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for giving us the opportunity to test the additional Black Series 600W fixtures in a real flowering environment. It's been fascinating watching twelve different plants respond to the same expanded lighting environment. ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT ANSWERS This remains the heart of everything we're doing here. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Same grower. And twelve different stories. Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us another beautiful answer. She's telling us: "I may not be the biggest..." 😂 "...but look closer." And when you do? There it is. The frost. The density. The stacking. The structure. The personality. 💜❄️🌸 That's what makes phenotype work so interesting. Sometimes the most interesting differences aren't obvious from across the room. You have to get closer. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – STILL SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT The room continues under the current flowering nutritional programme, with the nutritional strategy being adjusted progressively as we move deeper into the cycle. The current foundation remains around: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom 🌱 Power Buds 🌱 Green Sensation 🌱 Sugar Royal with the room operating around: ⚗️ pH ~6.0 ⚡ EC ~2.1 mS/cm And again, the important thing is not simply the numbers. It's the response. And Pheno B is responding beautifully. She's developing. She's stacking. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And she's showing us that her slower pace doesn't mean she's not capable of producing some seriously impressive flowers. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The general 8×8 environment remains stable around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.1 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size: 15 L ☀️ Upper canopy: ~1,500 PPFD 🔌 Future of Grow output: ~59% Same room. Same conditions. Same general strategy. And yet... our little Purple Haze Pheno B continues to show us her own interpretation. 💜🌿❄️ ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT IS DOING THE WORK And just like with her sister... I'm not doing much physically to her. 😂 There's no reason to. She's already established. She's already structured. She's already flowering. And now she's building. So why would I constantly reach into her canopy and start changing things just for the sake of doing something? I'm not interested in manufacturing work. My job is to observe. Look at the flowers. Look at the foliage. Watch the environment. Monitor the irrigation. Watch the nutrition. Take photographs. And if something actually requires attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her grow. And she's doing exactly that. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── ❄️ FROST ON FROST ON FROST I really want to come back to the frost because... WOW. 😂❄️ This girl is becoming ridiculously frosty. The leaves around the flowers are covered. The flowers themselves are becoming increasingly frosted. And the combination of dense flower structure and heavy resin expression is giving her a really unique appearance. She's not trying to compete with her sister's size. She doesn't need to. She has another weapon. Frost. Lots and lots of frost. 😂❄️💜👑 She's basically saying: "Fine, you can have the biggest flowers. I'll take all the glitter." 😂💜✨ And honestly? Fair deal. ──────────────────────── 🌸 STACKING – FINALLY SHOWING HER HAND This is another part of the story that I'm really enjoying. The stacking is becoming obvious now. The individual flowering sites are becoming more connected visually. The structures are gaining weight. The flowers are becoming more substantial. And suddenly that little plant we were waiting on... doesn't look quite so little anymore. She's still compact. But compact doesn't mean insignificant. Quite the opposite. She's using the structure she has very efficiently. And that's something I really like about her. She doesn't need to occupy half the tent. She just needs to make the space she has count. And she's doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN IS GETTING HER CROWN BACK After all the delays... all the slow weeks... all the: "Come on, girl..." 😂 She's finally giving us the answer we were waiting for. She's stacking. She's developing. She's frosting. She's becoming dense. And she's becoming increasingly beautiful. So yes... the crown stays. 👑❄️💜 Little Frosty Queen. You earned it. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? Honestly? I'm curious. Very curious. Because this is the point where I stop wondering: "Will she develop?" and start wondering: "How far is she going to take this?" 😂💜 How much more density will those flowers develop? How much more frost will she produce? How will the orange and mature colours evolve? How much more will the flower structures fill out? And what will this compact little monster look like when she finally reaches the end of her journey? I have no idea. And I love that. Because we're not writing the ending in advance. We're watching her write it. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHE'S SMALL, BUT SHE'S BIG Week 13. And our Purple Haze Pheno B has officially entered a new chapter. 💜❄️👑 She's still smaller than her sister. She's still slower than her sister. But... she's stacking. She's developing. She's getting dense. She's getting frosty. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as "small." 😂 She's not a giant plant. But she's a big girl in all the ways that matter. Her flowers are getting substantial. Her structure is becoming increasingly impressive. Her frost is absolutely ridiculous. And those leaves curling around the flowers while covered in resin? That's just beautiful. 😂❄️🌿 She has her own way of doing things. And after all the delays... all the slow weeks... all the moments where we wondered when she was going to really show us what she had... I think she's finally answering. And her answer is: "Relax. I was getting there." 😂💜 Fair enough, girl. You take all the time you need. Because what you're showing us now? I'm liking it. A lot. So keep stacking. Keep building. Keep frosting. Keep doing whatever the hell Purple Haze Pheno B wants to do. And keep shining under that artificial sun. 💜🌸❄️👑☀️ We'll keep watching. We'll keep photographing. We'll keep learning. And we'll let this beautiful little monster show us where she's going. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore two such different expressions from the same genetic family. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the growing media and nutrition. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy and allowing us to explore this garden as the three-dimensional environment it really is. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And yes... this week we finally have the photographs of our Little Frosty Queen again. 😂📸💜 And honestly? I'm glad we do. Because she deserves to be seen. She's been the smaller sister. The slower sister. The shy girl. The one who took the scenic route. But now? She's stacking. She's building. She's dense. She's frosty as fuck. And she's becoming one of the most visually interesting girls in the room. 💜❄️👑 Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Purple Haze Pheno B is writing hers slowly... but she's writing it beautifully. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the camera ready. And let's see just how far this Little Frosty Queen decides to take those flowers. 💜🌿🌸❄️💎☀️🔥👑 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. Where one Purple Haze sister is building enormous flowers... and the other? She's quietly building her own little frosty empire. 😂💜❄️👑 See you next week! 🌱📸💚

Soweit war diese Woche alles in Ordnung bis ich mitte der Woche entdeckt hab das die Orange Bud an zwei Stellen das schimmeln angefangen hat.. Hab alles grob weg geschnitte sie dann im endeffekt trotzdem paar Tage später geerntet weil die Trichome für meinen Geschmack schon ready waren. Hab die Luftfeuchtigkeit dann nochmal versucht weiter runter zu bekommen.

Langsam wird es spannend. Bonzai ftw!
