9/10 Went and shook the plants off. I don't think it rained. I think it's just dew. Plants with ailments seem to be progressing well and it looks like they'll outrun the pathogens. It may not be a banner year yield wise but the quality will be great it looks like. GMO is stacking up real nice. The ones in further flower are swelling more and more everyday. Earwigs MAY be back because I noticed a couple of plants where I left a tiny little branch on the bottom have been lollipopped on tje sherb pie and rather quickly too. I suppose it could be leaves dieing and rotting bit I doubt it. If they are here there aren't many and most plants are too far in flower for them to bother. They eat the lower newly developing shoots. Not big dense buds. Luckily. I noticed some pm on the gmo with pm. Looks like it's time for another treatment of k bicarb. I'll probably do that tonight. I'll keep this updated. WENT BACK OVER AND DEFOLIATED A BUNCH OF STUFF. ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER APP OF K BICARB. I CHECKED THE SHERB PIE AND IT DOESNT NEED TO BE WATERED. IT WAS STILL VERY HEAVY. IM THINKING I MAY HAVE EARWIGS THAT ARE FEASTUNG ON LOWER BRANCHES THAT SHOULDVE BEEN PRUNED. I NOTICED SOME LARFY SHIT THAT KOOKS LIKE NEW SHOOTS WERE CHEWED. LUCKILY THEY DONT SEEM TO BOTHER DEVELOPED BUDS. ESPECIALLY ROCK HARD BUDS. I'LL DO SOME RESEARCH AND DO SOME FORM OF APPLICATION FOR THE PM SPOTS I SAW AND THE SEPTORIA I KNOW IS THERE. IM SUPER GRATEFUL THOUGH. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO GROW STRAINS AND I THINK ILL KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK. Also thinking of switching to cha ching shortly on the toasted toffy and the event horizon that's furthest along. 9/11 I Didn't water anything today because things still seemed heavy. I'm noticing the same thing that happened a few years back. Lower secondary or tertiary branches are getting stripped on a couple plants. They never touch the developed buds they want the new shoots. If IT IS ear wigs they are impossible to fight. I put poison down and d.e. around those plantscand we'll see. It could also be rot from dying leaves. I need to treatcsome of the plants with a longer flowering time with plant doctor. I'm going over today to spend a few hours working in the garden. I'll apply something I just don't know WHAT yet. One event horizon looks like it tried to reveg AGAIN which is super weird . I just see a lot of one and 3 finger leaves. It will probably turn out to be great. The other event horizon looks like its going to be incredible. The toasted toffy is getting close too. Temps only reached 62° yesterday. It took FOREVER to shake these plants off. Time to get the leaf blower out. I'm going to bring my trich scope when I go over today. I wanna look at tgat event horizon. Pistols are retracting on the top flowers. This may be a multiple stage harvest. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: WENT OVER AT FOUR AND WATERED. I MIGHTVE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD OFF UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING BUT I HAVE PLANS EARLY MORNING. I ALSO DEFOLIATED QUITE A BIT. BUDS ARE SWELLING CONSIDERABLY. THE SHERB PIE HAS TURNED COMPLETELY PURPLE. IT HASNT HAD ANY FLOWERS ON IT BUT NOW IT HAS FLOWERS BIGGER THAN A QUARTER! THESE PLANTS ARE VIGEROUSLY FLOWERING. I NEED TO CHECK THE TRICHS ON A COUPLE PLANTS AS THEY DONT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT. AS I WAS DEFOLIATED I NOTICED THAT SOMWTHING HAD STRIPPED FRESH BUDSITES ON SOME LOWER BRANCHES. IN YEARS PAST THATS ALWAYS BEEN EAR WIGS WHICH ARE IMPISSIBLE TO DEAL WITH. THEY USUALLY DONT TOUCH THE BIG BUDS THOUGH. TJEY LIKE THE FRESY SHOOTS. ILL GO OUT AT NIGHT AND SEE IF THIS IS THE CASE. ITS ONLYVHAPPENING ON A COUPLE PLANTS BUT STILL. THE EVENT HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE IS GROWING DIFFERENT THAN ITS SISTER. YOU CAN TELL THE STRAIN IS THE SAME BUT THIS SEEMED TO REVEG (AGAIN) BECAUSE IM SEEING SMALL FULLY DEVELOPED BUDS THAT I DONT REALLY SEE CONNECTING. CRAZY TRICHS THOUGH. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT COMES OUT. I TREATED THE GMO WITH WPM WITH A QTR GALLON OF K BICARBONATE FOLIAR SPRAY WITH A DROP OF DAWN FOR A SURFICANT. 9/12 Shook everything off and then used the leaf blower to try to better dry them. Weather is lookingvyo be good for the next couple weeks. Perfect finishing weather for my two that are furthest in flower. I may have to do a staged harvest. Some BOTTOM branches on e.h. are FAT and have trichs on trichs. I'll have to use my scope. I'm switching to cha ching next feed for the three furyhest in flower. Maybe four. The sherb pie had NO flowers last week but it's exploding with really compact buds. The whole plant turned purple. I need to be careful of botrytis with this weather. I've been pretty good about leaving and removing any dead or dying leaves. Even the plant in the ten is filling out nice. I have SOMETHING (behaving like earwigs) and eating "fresh" shoots. It's like lollipopping the new growth on a couple plants. I'll becstaying at the grow from now forward so I'll go out tonight and see what I found. The poison I put down seems to be gone. Anyway I'm very grateful for what I've got. I'm update as I go. 9/13 It's sprinkling a half hour trom my grow. I think it's supposed to be nice though. I found some botrytis on two plants. Two are so close to finishing that I need to closely watch them. I don't want botrytis. I applied k bicarb to the middle gmo as I saw a spot of pm. I spent a ton of time defoliating. This cold weather has brought the fade much faster. Trichs are looking good. WENT THROUGH THE PLANTS AND DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON. APPARENTLY THIS EARLY FADE IS NORMAL THIS YEAR. AT LEAST IN ALL MY CANNABIS GROUPS. WENT THROUGH EVERYTJING! STILL HAVE THE MIDDLE EVENT HORIZON I WANT TOO TIE DOWN BUT I DID A LOT OF DEFOLIATION. THIS ALLOWED ME TO FIND A FEW PIECES OF BOTRYTIS. ON MY PLANTS THAT ARE ALMOST DONE. WE HAVE GOOD WEATHER FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT I MAY HAVE REACHED DIMINISHING RETURNS ON A COUPLE. THAT E.V. AND THE TOASTED TOFFY I DONT WANT GETTING WET. THEY ARE TOO DENSE. TRICHS ARE ALL MILKY AND THEYRE SWELLING. IM SLEEPING ON IT BUT IM ALMOST POSITIVE IM GOING TO DO A SELECTIVE HARVEST ON THOSE TWO. IM NOT LETTI G SHIT ROT AND AGTER LOOKING AT THESE UNDER A SCOPE I WOULDS TAKEN THEM YEARS AGO. GMO IS FROSTY AS HELL. EXTREMELY ARONATIC GARDEN. ILL KEEP THIS UPDATED. Decided to hold off feeding and watering. Defoliated a shit ton throughout the day. Around five I noticed that my shittiest GMO with the yellow leaves had a couple dead interior branches. Upon closer inspection it looked like grey mold. A few tiny buds were destroyed but the branch needed to be removed. Jot any big loss but if it's in the shit that doesn't matter than it's around the shit that does. Found info on event horizon flowering time. Middle of September until middle of October. That could be why I'm seeing coke cans on the bottom branches of that phenome. I've got some decisions to make. I mixed up enough water to water in the morning. I'll mix up feed in the morning. Tje garden has gotten a lot of attention lately. I hope it pays off. I'm leaning on a multi staged harvest of the event horizon amd toasted toffy but we'll 9/14 Hurries morning. Mixed water for this morning last night. WATERED AND FED EVERYTHING (BUT TOASTED TOFFY AND EVENT HORIZON #2 DUE TO THEM BEING CHOPPED SOON.) Everything got a gallon of water and a qtr of food. I had to cut a couple small interior secondary branches on my shottiest GMO due to the appearance of grey mold. I also found some botrytis in both the event horizon and toasted toffy that I plan to take the tops of today. I scoped them and I'm planning to do a staged harvest. Trichs are milky with some amber. Everything is blowing up! I'm not sure what's happening but like it previous years there's a couple plants with leaves dieing near bud sites and an overall yellow appearance. Maybe it's late stage septoria. I cant isolate it due to local laws but if I have to I'll deal with it. Nothing else had anything like that. I hace noticed SOMETHING nocturnal that can eat a small branch and leave it bare. Also eat the small newly forming shoots at the bottom of plants. I shouldve taken off ALL the larfy stuff as it draws bugs but I did things a like different with each plant this year. I'm going to go through the plants again today and I'll update what I decide. Chances are the top half of those two plants are coming down. I'll do a video. 9/15 I'll have to add pics and videos tomorrow. Last night I did a final check of the trichs on event horizon #2 and toasted toffy. Everything looked great so I proceeded to do a "wet trim" outside (ill use the leaf blower to clean up) and cut the tops off the plant. I know this injures tje plant but it also makes them go crazy thinking they are dying and the buds and trichs swell. I had one plant last year I got two harvests off and a bunch of fresh frozen for concentrates. I looked this morning and I madecthe right decision. These plants are DONE. I've got another event horizon but it's not quite there yet. I'm going to leave it as long as I can. If the injured plants pick up pm or something (already had septoria) then the flower will be used for extracts or I'll do a Cervantes wash. I imagine concentrates though. One GMO isn't doing as good as the rest. Yesterday I had to cut three branches off due to grey mold on the stalk. If laws allowed it I'd isolate that plant. Luckily since I spend so much time going through the garden I'm able to find this kind of stuff. The GMO'S look wonderful (even the one with some yellow leaves that I cut the branches off) . K bicarb has kept pm at bay so far. This strain has TONS of trichs. It's like trich on trich on trich. I can't wait to try it. It smells amazing. Sherb pie is completely purple with rock hard buds that smell amazing. It's quality over quantity this year. The big one in the 50 (I think red runtz) is swelling more everyday. I'm going to switch to ch ching soon. The plant in the 10 had TOTALLY SUPRISED ME. I've never grown a plant lime this. It started out with dark purple in the middle now buds are swelling and calyxes are EVERYWHERE! This plant is growing extremely fast! You'll see what I mean when I put the pics and the videos up. I'm not going to do the event horizon harvest until I get both plants and all of both plants. It will be a while before I finish the toasted toffy one as well. 9/16 I'm glad I took those plants. Weather is good but plants were soaked thos morning. I need to go out at night and see what is eating new shoots. Flowers are looking great. I need to do another app of k bocarb sometime. I'm suprised the pm has pretty much stayed with that one plant. That two other GMO's flanking it are doing awesome! Purple, sticky stinky. It's got the whole package. The one in the 50 has some huge flowers that won't require much longer. The one invthe 10 has some time left. This is clearly a sativa dominant hybrid. The buds are swelling like crazy. It went from NO buds to having little purple calyxes to flowers that look like cat-tails! I can't wait to see what rhis year brings. Once I get things dry and manicured I'll give you guys a look at how the first stage of the first harvest went. I'm super happy. Spent a large part of this morning shaking plants by handcand removing any dead leaves or anything that could cause rot then I went over them with a leaf blower. I'll need to water tonight I imagine. WATERED AROUND 3:00 PM. MY FAVORITE GMO STARTED DROPPING. WATERED EVERYTHING A GALLON EXCEPT I SPLIT ONE GALLON ON THE PLANTS THAT HAD BEEN CUT. IM EXTREMELY TIRED BUT I NEED TO GO OUT AT NIGHT AND SEE IF I CAN FIND EARWIGS CRAWLING UP THE STALKS. WEATHER STILL LOOKS GOOD. BUDS SWELLING PISTOLS RETRACTING AND MORE AND MORE LEAVES DYING. I CANT BELIEVE THE SIZE OF THAT SATIVA LEANING HYBRID IN THE TEN!

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B ✨ Still Small. Still Delayed. Still Beautiful. And Just A Little Ahead of Her Sister. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And guess what? Guess what? GUESS WHAT? 😂💙 She's still small. 😂 I know. Nobody is shocked. Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still very much... Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Compact. Small. Delayed compared with much of the room. But... beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And here's the interesting part: She's a little bit ahead of her sister. Not by some enormous amount. Not suddenly racing through the room. But enough that I can see it. She's moving. She's developing. She's progressing. And when I look at both Blueberry Muffins together, I can't help but smile. Because despite both of them being compact... despite both of them being smaller plants... despite both of them being delayed compared with many of their neighbours... they are both beautiful. 💙🌸✨ And that's really the story this week. We're not trying to make them bigger. We're not trying to make them faster. We're not trying to make them something they're not. We're simply letting them be Blueberry Muffin. And this girl? She's doing it beautifully. So let's give her the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ──────────────────────── For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different personalities. 😂💚 That's the part I love most. The room is the same. The ecosystem is the same. The environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The feeding is the same. And yet every plant seems to have received the instructions... and then immediately decided to ignore half of them. 😂 Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some become monsters. Some remain little. Some move quickly. Some take their sweet time. Some seem to know exactly where they're going. Others appear to be improvising. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely in the: "Yeah, I'll get there eventually." 😂💙 But she's getting there. And that's what matters. ──────────────────────── 💙 STILL SMALL — AND STILL BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── Let's not pretend she's suddenly become a giant. She hasn't. 😂 She's still small. Still compact. Still one of the more petite girls in this room. But honestly? I wouldn't change that. Because the moment I stop comparing her size to the larger plants... I can really appreciate her. Look at the flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the way she's developing. Look at the details. This is a beautiful little plant. And that's the important part. She's not competing in a height competition. She's not trying to occupy every square centimetre. She's simply making the most of the structure she has. And she's doing it very nicely. ──────────────────────── 🌸 A LITTLE AHEAD OF HER SISTER ──────────────────────── Now here's the little difference this week. She's still delayed. But she's a little bit ahead of Pheno A. And I find that fascinating. Because they're both Blueberry Muffin. They're both compact. They're both small. They're both sharing the same room. They're both receiving the same general environment. And yet... their clocks aren't identical. Pheno B is just nudging forward a little faster. Not dramatically. Just enough for me to notice. And this is exactly the kind of difference I love documenting. Because if we only looked at the genetics name... we might assume these plants should behave the same. But they don't. They're individuals. And even within the same genetic line, they can have their own rhythm. Pheno A has her story. Pheno B has hers. And we're going to document both. That's the beauty of the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ? STILL DELAYED — BUT NOT LEFT BEHIND ──────────────────────── When I say she's delayed, I don't mean she's doing badly. That's important. She's simply further behind compared with many of the other plants in the room. And that's perfectly okay. The room doesn't have a single finish line for every plant. The plants don't all have to arrive at the same time. They're not identical machines running on identical timers. They're living organisms expressing their own genetics. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is telling us: "I'm taking my time." 😂💙 Fine. Take your time. As long as you're moving. And she is. She's developing. She's flowering. She's progressing. She's becoming more beautiful. So there's absolutely no reason to rush her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 TWO COMPACT GIRLS — TWO DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is actually becoming one of my favourite comparisons in the room. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Both compact. Both small. Both delayed. But not identical. One is a little ahead. The other has her own rhythm. And that's exactly why separate phenotype diaries are so valuable. Because if I put them together into one generic report and simply said: "Blueberry Muffin is small and delayed..." we'd lose so much detail. Instead... we can look at each girl individually. We can follow her development. We can see her structure. We can document her timing. We can appreciate her personality. And then, when the adventure is complete, we can look back and compare the two. That's where the real fun is. 💙🌸 Same genetics. Same room. Different personalities. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── The lighting environment remains unchanged. We're keeping the same ecosystem across the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the additional Black Series 600W fixtures remaining part of the upgraded setup. After adding the extra fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug, giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's using those photons in her own way. Not by becoming huge. Not by stretching across the room. Not by trying to dominate the canopy. She's simply developing within her compact structure. Same photons. Same artificial sun. Different interpretation. And that sentence basically describes the entire 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌿✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 SAME FEEDING — SAME OPPORTUNITY ──────────────────────── The feeding program also remains unchanged for the room. We're not making plant-specific changes simply because one girl is slower. The current recipe remains: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution readings are approximately: ⚗️ pH — 6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm Same feeding. Same general irrigation. Same environment. Same room. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B gets the same opportunity as everybody else. Then... she decides what to do with it. And she's doing something pretty damn beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE ROOM IS STABLE — AND WE'RE LEAVING IT THAT WAY ──────────────────────── This is another thing I really want to emphasize this week. The room is stable. The plants are developing. The environment is consistent. And honestly? It seems to be working. So we're not changing things just because we can. We're not chasing numbers. We're not trying to force the slower girls to catch up. We're not reinventing the ecosystem every week. The room is alive. The plants are alive. They're progressing. They're enjoying the conditions. So for now... we keep things stable. Sometimes the best adjustment is no adjustment. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── ✂️ NOT MUCH TO DO — AND THAT'S PERFECT ──────────────────────── There's not much we're doing to this girl now. And honestly? That's exactly how I like it at this stage. The structure is established. The flowering sites are there. She's developing. She's healthy-looking. The room is stable. So why interfere? Why start creating work when there isn't a problem to solve? 😂✂️ We're simply watching. Observing. Photographing. Enjoying. And letting her continue. The grower doesn't need to be constantly touching the plant. Sometimes we just need to stand there and admire the work the plant is doing. And this little girl? She's giving us something worth looking at. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T CARE HOW BIG SHE IS ──────────────────────── This is another thing I love about photographing the smaller plants. From across the room... she's small. Very small. But put a camera close to one of her flowers? Different story. 😂📸💙 Suddenly the scale disappears. You don't see a small plant anymore. You see a flower. You see the structure. You see the pistils. You see the texture. You see the details. And that's one of the reasons these individual reports are so enjoyable. The camera allows us to give these smaller plants the attention they deserve. Because size isn't everything. Sometimes the smallest plant has some of the most interesting details. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B definitely deserves her close-up. ──────────────────────── 🔬 GENETICS ARE WRITING THEIR OWN STORIES ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest lesson of this entire adventure. We can control the room. We can control the environment. We can control the lighting. We can keep nutrition consistent. We can maintain the irrigation strategy. But we cannot tell every phenotype exactly how to behave. They decide. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has decided: "Compact. Slow. Beautiful. And I'll get there when I get there." 😂💙 And honestly? I respect it. Because that's the whole reason we're doing this. We're not trying to make every plant identical. We're trying to discover what they actually are. And this girl is showing us exactly who she is. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTIFUL DESPITE THE DELAY ──────────────────────── This is what I want people looking at these reports to remember. Delayed does not mean ugly. Small does not mean weak. Compact does not mean uninteresting. And slow certainly doesn't mean unsuccessful. Look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's developing. She's expressing herself. She's simply doing it on another timeline. And that's completely fine. Actually... I think that's what makes her more interesting. Because every week she makes us wait a little longer. 😂 And every week she gives us another reason to keep watching. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues under the same stable setup: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same conditions. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues proving that she has her own clock. ──────────────────────── 💚 I'M REALLY GLAD WE KEPT WATCHING HER ──────────────────────── There's something satisfying about these slower plants. Because if you're only looking for speed... you might overlook them. You see another plant racing ahead and think: "That's the exciting one." But then you keep watching. Week after week. And the little one keeps developing. Keeps flowering. Keeps becoming prettier. And eventually you realize: "Wait a minute..." 😂💙 This little girl is actually beautiful. That's what happened with both Blueberry Muffins. They're not the biggest. They're not the fastest. But they're both beautiful. And that's enough. ──────────────────────── 🔭 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly... we wait. 😂💙 I don't know exactly how much longer she has. I don't know exactly when she'll decide she's finished. And I'm not going to pretend I do. She's already shown us that her timing is different from many of the other girls. So we'll let her continue. Maybe she'll accelerate. Maybe she'll continue slowly. Maybe she'll surprise us. That's the fun. We're not here to force the ending. We're here to document it. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One phenotype at a time. ──────────────────────── ✨ FINAL THOUGHTS — GIVE THIS LITTLE GIRL HER SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Week 13. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still... small. 😂💙 Still compact. Still delayed. Still beautiful. And just a little bit ahead of her sister. And honestly? I love that. Both Blueberry Muffins are showing us something very similar... but they're still individuals. They're both small. They're both compact. They're both taking their time. They're both behind much of the room. And yet... they're both absolutely beautiful. That's the part I don't want to lose. Because it's easy to look at the room and focus on the giants. The huge plants. The massive structures. The girls taking over every available centimetre. But sometimes... you need to look down. 😂💙 And there she is. Our little Blueberry Muffin. Doing her thing. Quietly. Beautifully. At her own speed. And she's still here. Still developing. Still shining. Still giving us another chapter. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the compact structure. Let's appreciate the beautiful flowers. Let's appreciate the fact that she's moving forward. And let's appreciate the individuality. Because that's what this whole adventure is about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same feeding. Same grower. Different personalities everywhere. And we're going to expose every single one of them through their own story. 💙🌸✨ Blueberry Muffin Pheno B... you're small. You're delayed. You're taking your sweet time. But you're beautiful. And that's more than enough. Keep doing your thing, little girl. Keep growing. Keep developing. Keep shining. And whenever you're ready... show us what you've got. We're still watching. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent following these twelve very different girls. It all becomes part of the story. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely writing her own. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. And completely in her own way. 💙🌸✨ She's not the biggest. She's not the fastest. She's not the earliest. But she is absolutely one of the most interesting. And now we're going to keep watching both Blueberry Muffins and see where their separate journeys take them. Same room. Same conditions. Same ecosystem. Different personalities. Different stories. And that's exactly why I love this adventure. Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. Your spotlight is yours. 💙🌸✨ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💙

I think she is all set now But I could have waited one more week But I ran out of soil foxfarm ocean forest And some other stuff which makes me Recycle this pot and transplant red poison auto who is right now flowering very fast and good so it is the end for sweet Gelato our first sweet Gelato from sweet seeds Thanks a lot guys for helping me out. Thanks a lot grow diaries for all your support blessings and lets get this girl harvest alright my dudes will be uploading more content soon at the mean time we will be showing you the bud quality against Quantity and hopefully you will see how STRESS this girl was for an auto we know now that they are good for LST and HST better than any other techniques and just some auto like the ones you mix with thai Legendary genetics will grow very fast and recover very good reason why its better to apply fimming to autos that can run fast over recovery because without that gap you Cant use those techniques since the plant wont allow you its genetics are going to get STRESS and wont yield as much as it is supposed to But other than that is the real fact that this lady was under phlizon lights 600W And sadly we found out those are not Full spectrum lights so we are Very eager to join contest and try to win With the support of the whole community So we can continue to grow and show The world ah educational and real Pot smokers team all active in all social networking to point out this is love For all the world back and forth Thanks a lot please join me Please like share Comment Leave your thoughts I do appreciate every single one Hope you guys have a happy growing and happy harvest as well Enjoy SuMMer will come soon Are you ready?

I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

Kio familia, que ya actualizo. Jaja Al lío finalizamos la 3 semana de floracion, y esta genética también creció bastante se nota su tamaño xL. Aumentamos la cantidad de comida por litro, Al ser grandes piden más. La humedad no aumenta de 50% y la temperatura baja Algo en comparación al principio. 27 grados de media. En la imágenes y vídeos podemos apreciar bien la evolución esta semana.

Cataclysmic Cookies 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾 79 DAYS - Above Dirt 💬 Sunday 11.12.23 - Fed the lady's compost tea this morning, they are really starting to fatten up, we have another 5 weeks of flower and they should just get enormous! 💬 Friday 11.17.23 - Just a quick end-of-week update, the ladies are fattening up slowly, and the buds are looking amazing! 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾 📝Cataclysmic Cookies Right in time for Halloween, here's a real creeper of a cross. Mr. Crowley Matterhorn reversed into Massgrowers special gal, Black Cookies Cake Linda Cut. The first thing that jumps out when you first see these girls is that spectacular dark bloody purple color. All phenos but one are as purple as purple gets, the terp profiles range from Christmas trees to bright sour rhubarb. Medium to medium tall frame, moderate foliage, with beautiful spire-shaped flowers that are sticky as a fly trap. Distinct and easy to grow, they'd make a great addition for anyone looking to add some serious color to their garden 🍃🌿🌱🌾 🍃🌿🌱🌾

Week 3(Bloom): She has packed on a lot of pistils this week. Overall she’s looking really good. I think I’m under watering her. Last night and tonight when the light came on she looked pretty droopy. I’ve given her some more water today. Tomorrow when the light comes on I’ll give her a look and see. I did lift the plant to see if it was heavy or light, she was very light. Hopefully she snaps out of it. I’m very happy with this girl. This week the growth wasn’t as rapid, this could be because of not enough water, not sure though. Starting to see a bit more vertical growth Thanks for checking out the diary! 👊

Day 42 350ml plain rain Well sh*t - prob moved to next set lower fans - to be expected - don't take leaves off a sick plant! anyhoo - only took 5 off - so: Def got calmag probs - overfed that - def got potassium prob - Q is still "Over or Underfeed" A is still F knows Mitigating factors are [A] that she has a lot of flower and could be crying out for nutes [B} I did misread nutes and for first 6wks was overfeeding in conflict w premix soil [C] Stardawg had exact same nutes schedule and is NOT showing signs and [D] mycorrhizal addition to soil caused probs in bot Forbidden Runtz and Stardawg - so it could be chemlock - which would be the worst coz flush only solution and I don't flush! pH 6.9 rH 45-55 Temp 22-27C Solutions: 1] H2O diet for wk and monitor - check - (day2: lower leaves further displaying calmag/potassium/phosphorous signs) 2] Nitrates to solve potassium - top dress may help - but again, I think I've overfed in conflict with soil premix, so... 3] Calmag burn is almost certainly overfeed - minimize and monitor that when nutes reintroduced << OK - basically I must have a chemlock because I have overfed but almost as importantly - the watering schedule [I water every morning under 24hr] does let the soil dry every day - some plants can handle it - Stardawg can as well as Big Bud - FR can't. So Will give her double H2O for cpl days and see. Will also pH adjust - she is in range for everything for absorption but nit if getting repeated daily chemlock - so might as well pH adjust if semi-flushing >> << Decision >> Right, I have got some serated edge tip burn in next level fans - these being last indica factory leaves - those of the lower level I left on are sick as and will come off, but leaving everything else on. She didn't seem to mind the flush - put gallon through in two goes (one was her daily water) - not much leaf twisting - buds looks good and I think that is the point ... they're doing fine from the over nute - but the veg material not so. Going to repeat flush tomorrow am but only 1/2 gal and leave her to dry out and then back to her h2O diet till Day 7 [tomorrow am will be day 3] btw flush pumped rH up to 60 so had to leave doors open all day 😕 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH 😞😠>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just been going over leaves after defoliating and found.... spider mites .... not nutrient based and not WPM thank the stars. Referring to the grow diaries collective - need advice Well - defoliated heavily - now know - it is wk 2/3 flowering and I was holding off on defoliating Just in Case it was chemlock BUT now I know I would be removing the most infested leaves - I went nuts and did a full sativa stage defoliate - irony is if I did it straight away this might not have happened. Gotta give props to BraveHeartGenetics - genius solution and will be borrowing my friends little handheld vacuum - she is a clean freak so will be perfect, Wind power very clean solution. Video in honor of BraveHeartGenetics - I need a joint now. Day 43 Well the spider mites are def under control. Vacuumed plants. was fine - used a dyson handheld with wide hose so could get whole leaf in without it flailing around against sides and getting damaged. Got her hands to the sky for first time in ages - good to see. Hopefully the defoliation also helps get her back in the groove - now know it's not totally nutrient based - that said of course mites screw with transpiration and chlorophyll levels so you know - not great - but hopefully over. Further to this I added a fan and a dehumidifier w 600ml capacity -should be enough to make the climate tough for mites. The last 24hrs can go screw themselves, but got some great advice so grateful as 😊 No water and suspended flushing - she looks happier I will still keep theH2O diet going and of course check for mites regularly Day 44 350ml plain rain water. Hands to the sun! omg she hasn't looked this good in wks! thank the stars 😅 Day 45 300ml plain rain - - pic she's a bit droopy but she's still having transpiration probs and has just been watered - she'll manage Day 46 300ml plain rain she still looked a little forlorn so I got the loupe out and sure enuff - more beasties. <<SO>> Got my vacuum out and cleaned the nozzle - it is an unregulated (sssshhh not v green) 1700W monster about twenty yrs old - Vacuuming your Bud [METHOD] I found it necessary to go at the buds from the side as well as top down (don't vacuum from underneath even though that's where the beasties are - I didn't even try - you will damage the plant) The nozzle was big enough to encapsulate a whole bud and it's leaves - so I repeated this motion [ahem] 1/2 dozen times and moved onto next bud I vacuumed every bud in this manner After, I checked known sites with my loupe I saw no mites - but some larvae still there So I vacuumed all again in same manner After final check I saw no larvae - I'm sure there are some remaining [RESULT] Leaf damage - very little - any heat/nute damaged tips got frayed, but the leaf veins / structure / stomata - underside leaf hairs / trichomes / pistils - no damage at all. OVERALL health condition of plant after vacuuming compared to as found: 9/10 AMMNDMNT << 6/10 >> FEED HER AFTER! Very few mites on plant & bonus: all the leaves are now conveniently 'hands to the sky'. OVERALL effectiveness in removing mites: 8/10 [CONCLUSION] I think the plant thoroughly loves this - provided it is not a routine affair, it is left in it's healthy pose - with most of a parasite removed. That said, I think it is a process that requires repeating, like a course of antibiotics; twice a day for a number of days - or spaced over several days between vacuuming, perhaps in accordance with / dictated by... spider mite life cycle. Finally - I know it sounds counter intuitive but DO use a POWERFUL Vacuum - The handheld Dyson 300 Whilst ok, just didn't do as well as my full size 1700W - result being I didn't significantly affect the mite numbers - thus a waste of time 8 hrs later she is looking fine - will repeat tomorrow Day 47 No vacuuming today - ADDED CONCLUSION - I f you have to do this - FEED her afterwards - with maybe a protracted dark spell She is looking so sick - the upside of the leaf damage you can't see but also expect she robbed her leaves of nutes as she has got lock out Going to put her in the dark for a bit - got photos will update after She had 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000 Tiger Bloom Grow Big 1:1000 Calmag in 400ml plain rain water Day 48 No watering to day She actually looks good - checked her over for mites again - all clear - in evening thought maybe even a bit more color to her - maybe just lights were dimmed lol

Im Allgemeinen gesprochen, das System ist soweit ganz gut eingependelt. Ich bewege mich tagsüber zwischen 24 -26 ° C Lufttemperatur, die Erde kommt bis auf ungefähr 21,5 ° C. Seit dem Topping letzte Woche sind einige Seitentriebe entstanden. Ich habe die Lampe etwas höher gehängt um mehr Abstand zu den Pflanzen zu haben und hoffe, dass sich die neuen Seitentriebe dafür etwas strecken und die Rotfärbung der Blattstiele sich verringert. Die automatische Bewässerung funktioniert ganz gut, nur hatte ich mir mehr erhofft. Leider haben sich ein paar Trauermücken eingeschlichen, die ich noch loswerden muss. Ich halte es noch für etwas verfrüht die Blütephase einzuleiten, die Damen sollten noch etwas mehr an Größe und Präsenz bekommen, auch weil ich mir gerne ein paar Stecklinge nehmen möchte. Danke für euren Besuch und das Interesse an meinem Grow. Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Woche und viele aromatische Buds! ----------------------------- Generally speaking, the system is quite well balanced so far. During the day, the air temperature is between 24 and 26°C, while the soil reaches around 21.5°C. Since topping last week, a few side shoots have emerged. I have hung the lamp a little higher to have more distance to the plants and hope that the new side shoots will stretch a little and the red coloration of the leaf stems will be reduced. The automatic watering works quite well, but I had hoped for more. Unfortunately, a few fungus gnats have crept in, which I still have to get rid of. I still think it's a bit premature to start the flowering phase, the ladies should get a bit more size and presence, also because I would like to take a few cuttings. Thank you for your visit and your interest in my grow. Have a great week and lots of aromatic buds!

To get higher temperatures I placed the growbox near the radiator, dimmer still at 25%, boiled tap water also this week, this guaranteed me an ideal pp for the beginning, from now on I will use mountain water which will allow me to use less fertilizer.

*Week 4 Flowering 09/17* Blimburn - Apple Fritter (1) - 47 Inches Seedsman - Crititcal +2.0 (1) - 47 Inches Thus far no issues or concerns - Both plants are growing accordingly and are growing vigorously, Bud-sites are coming in heavy. Still growing in length. *Week 4 Flowering End of Week 09/23* Both Apple Fritter/Critical+2.0 have appeared to stop growing in length but have expanded in width in regards to the bud site development. Bud sites are blooming accordingly and trichome development seems to be coming along nicely as well. Nute feeds have remained the same/Plain water feeds have increased. *BACK TENT VIDEO ADDED - Apple Fritter (L) - Critical+2.0 (R) - 09/23*

Ok so Day 39 they are now watered daily.I gave the girls a haircut and really didn’t want to but I add a scrog net to spread these ladies out bit more.I do not prefer to use a scrog as I like to keep my pots on wheels and spin them around to check them out and also watering is a pain with the net in there.I also top dressed again with Gaia Green Power bloom only this time.Watered with recharge and a dose of bud candy.Next week I will start the Plagron and hope to see some really nice buds :)

31.08. 5-6 days ago, the remaining plants that were drying were removed, trimmed and placed in jars. There are 5 or 6 phenotypes in the videos, I think 6, I don't have videos of the other phenotypes because at one point I needed memory and I deleted a lot of them, and I already smoked those phenotypes lol Stay High and Keep Growing!!!
