Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. Man have these plants taken off. Man what a stretch. I've only seen sativa's grow this tall this fast. Some of these plants have 6 inches between leaf nodes. Wow. Got to get in here this week and do my final trim/prune. Paying attention to taking off the sucker branches, Opening up the middle for better air flow. And taking off some top fanleaves off for better light penetration. And putting another string around them to hold them together. They are getting tall. It's pretty damp around here, got all sorts of mushrooms growing out of the ground around here. Don't know what they are. And I'm not going to eat them. Took one, of the large brown ones to the mushroom club a few years ago and he said it's no good to eat. Won't kill you but you'll be sitting on the can for a while. It's been time for my 3 1/2 year cancer check up. Went to the ENT doctor yesterday. She couldn't find anything to be concerned about and I feel fine. Get another app. in 6 months. April. then not another for a year before they finally clear me to say cancer free. Still taking my RSO at 1/2 strength these days. .5 g a day. Feel Fine. 😃 Showed around my main grow room in the video. I'm not doing a diary on these plants but want to show you my best plants. Got some fungus gnats flying around. Was gnat free all summer, but they came in, in the fall. Got some nematodes from Amazon but the package seemed dry when I opened it. Don't know if any nematodes were still alive in the bags, but I mixed it up in water and applied it to the roots. So we'll see. Probably old stock. Been sitting 1/2 the summer in the warehouse heat. 😒 Got my seeds picked out for the next diary. (see pics) I've got room for, and I think I'll do 16 plants, to find the best/strongest one. I'm growing indicia's for my cancer, but I really love/miss sativa's. So I'm going to try this one. The description sound great. Up to 36% ( hope I get close) and tastes of pineapple and lemon. OK. Be Great, Out There. Chuck.

This pheno was certainly on roids. The strain being from an autoflower just outpaced every other plant by at least 2 weeks. It produced a whopping 8 ounces. The colors gave an alien reddish purple glow as if it were from mars. The aroma was that of blueberry cacao, a totally unique chocolatey profile.

Buds everywhere…the smell is also coming along. I gave her too much tiger bloom which is noticeable on her leaf tips but the benefits are worth it. I had an attack of the aphids trying to destroy the stem but I pulled out the spray and got rid of them. She takes training really well and bounces back from the pest attack quite nicely. I am also impressed with the way she leafed out after the defoliation.

Got these harvested, and wow oh wow do they smell like dessert. I decided to hang dry these since the weather has been almost perfect conditions. All in all a super easy strain to grow that produces amazing flowers good for either flower or extracts. Happy Growing

Not even sure if they’re actually in week 10 haven’t really been taking too many pictures. Really loving the gorilla cookies and how big they are vs the apricot auto in the closer left corner. All other 3 are gorilla cookies autos. Just started feeding just distilled water for now and flush them to get for hatbest

Week 3 of veg and transition week, she is under 13 hours of light now. Don't want her to get to big in the jar, just a headache to manage, normally I just run autos in the #Hydrojars. She gets a bit more fertilizer now, added some Mycco from Eden Green.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 🦄 The Little Unicorn Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 Well... She's doing it again. Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to shine, and this week she's decided to add another little piece of personality to the story. She's foxtailing. 🦄🌿 And you know what? I don't mind it at all. Actually... I kind of like it. Because if there's one thing I've learned from growing different genetics together, it's that not every plant is going to write the same story. Some are uniform. Some are compact. Some build huge, dense flowers. Some stretch. Some do something completely unexpected. And sometimes... you get a little unicorn. 😂🦄💚 That's what I see when I look at this girl. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's carrying those incredibly deep greens. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's moving deeper into maturity. And now she's adding some peculiar little floral growth to the equation. Honestly? Let's make this unicorn shine. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Genetics Keep Talking For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The whole idea behind this project is simple: Put different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment... and then watch what they decide to do. The plants share: 💡 The same lighting strategy 🌡️ The same environmental conditions 💧 The same general irrigation philosophy 🌱 The same nutritional program 🕛 The same 12/12-from-seed approach 🏠 The same growing room 👨‍🌾 The same grower And yet... they are all different. That's the part I love. Because when you remove as many variables as possible, the personalities of the plants become much easier to appreciate. And Frosted Guava Pheno A? She's definitely got personality. 🦄 Hello, Foxtailing So let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or perhaps... the unicorn. 😂 She's showing some foxtailing. And honestly, I'm perfectly happy to see it. Foxtailing isn't automatically something I consider a problem. Some genetics naturally produce those elongated, stacked floral structures. Environmental factors can also contribute in some situations, including excessive light intensity or heat. But looking at this plant, I'm not jumping to the conclusion that light stress is responsible. She's around 120 cm, so she's certainly not some enormous plant sitting directly against the lights. The overall plant looks healthy. The foliage looks strong. The flowers are developing. And she's simply showing a particular expression. So for now? I'm calling it what it is: Frosted Guava being Frosted Guava. And I kind of love it. 🍓 More Little "Fruits" for Me And yes... I'm going to say it. 😂 Those little foxtailing structures? To me, they're just more little "fruits" to enjoy later. I'm not bothered by them at all. If anything, they make the flowers look more interesting. More irregular. More individual. More peculiar. And I like peculiar. I like unique. I like plants that don't look like they came out of a factory. I like unicorns. 🦄🌿 Of course, foxtailing by itself doesn't guarantee more yield. But that's not really why I like it. I like the character it gives the flowers. And this girl has character. 🌿 Deep. Deep. Deep Green. Now... let's talk about that colour. Because wow. The lower leaves in particular are showing some deep, deep, deep, deep, deep green. 😂💚 I know. I'm repeating myself. But look at her. How am I supposed to describe that colour without repeating myself? She's GREEN. Beautifully, seriously, ridiculously green. And I love it. The foliage gives the plant an incredible visual depth, especially alongside the developing flowers. The contrast between the dark leaves and the increasingly frosty flower structures is absolutely beautiful. It's one of those plants where you can look at the photographs and immediately understand why I keep wanting to photograph her. She's got layers. She's got texture. She's got colour. She's got frost. And now... she's got little unicorn horns growing out of her flowers. 😂🦄 ❄️ The Frost Continues And underneath all that green? The frost continues to develop. The flowers are becoming increasingly mature in appearance, and the resin coverage is becoming more apparent as the plant moves further into the flowering cycle. This is where I really start enjoying the combination of photography and growing. At first glance: Beautiful flowering plant. Then you zoom in: Wait a minute... look at that. And then you zoom in again. More resin. More structure. More detail. More little floral formations. And suddenly you realize just how much is happening on a single flower. That's why I keep taking these photographs. The plant changes. The camera catches it. And week after week, we get another little piece of the story. 🌸 She's Moving Fast I also feel like Frosted Guava is moving quite quickly now. We're deep into flowering, and the flowers are clearly progressing toward a more advanced stage. The development is becoming more obvious. The structure is becoming more pronounced. The resin is increasing. And those little foxtailing formations are adding another layer to the flowers. She's not finished. There's still plenty of time left. But she's definitely heading somewhere. And I'm enjoying the journey. This is the part where you stop trying to predict every little thing and simply watch the plant mature. She's telling me where she's going. I'm just following along. 👑 Keeper Material? And here's another funny thought that crossed my mind this week. I'm not cloning these plants. I'm not keeping mother plants. I'm not building a keeper library from this run. That's not the purpose of this particular adventure. But... if I were looking for a keeper? I'd certainly be looking twice at this girl. 😂🦄🌿 Because she's got something. The colour. The structure. The flowers. The frost. And now this peculiar foxtailing expression. It's not necessarily about being the biggest plant. It's not about being the fastest. It's about having something that makes you stop and think: "That's interesting." And Frosted Guava has definitely achieved that. 🌿 No Need to Interfere The other thing I really appreciate about her right now is that she doesn't seem to be asking me for anything dramatic. She had her cleanup previously. She's got her space. She's got her nutrition. She's got her irrigation. She's got her light. And now? I'm letting her work. There's no reason to start changing things simply because she's doing something slightly unusual. If anything, this is exactly the moment when I want to observe rather than interfere. Because if the plant is healthy and developing well... why not let her show us what she's capable of? The foxtailing is part of her current expression. The deep green is part of her expression. The flower structure is part of her expression. And I'm here to document it. 💡 Let the Unicorn Eat Photons The lighting strategy remains consistent across the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main overhead illumination, with Lumiflora contributing additional under-canopy lighting. The upper canopy is receiving strong light, but I'm not seeing enough here to confidently blame the foxtailing on light stress. And that's an important distinction. Just because a plant is foxtailing doesn't mean: "It must be the light." Sometimes it's genetics. Sometimes it's environmental. Sometimes it's a combination. Sometimes... it's simply what that particular plant likes to do. So rather than inventing an explanation, I'm watching. And right now? The unicorn appears happy. 😂🦄 💧 Still Providing, Still Watching The flowering nutrition remains consistent with the room's established program. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment — as required Current solution parameters remain around: ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm Watering remains approximately: 💦 1.3 L per plant / 24h Nothing special. Nothing secret. Nothing specifically designed to create foxtails. We're simply providing what the room requires and allowing each phenotype to respond in its own way. And Frosted Guava? She's responding beautifully. 🌡️ Week 10 Conditions Current recorded conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The room remains stable. The plant remains healthy. And the phenotype continues doing its own thing. Exactly what I want from this experiment. 📸 This Week's Gallery I absolutely love the visual personality of this week's gallery. You've got the wider shots showing the whole plant and its structure. Then the flowers. Then the close-ups. And that's where the story really becomes interesting. The deep green foliage. The developing flowers. The resin. The pistils. The increasingly mature structures. And then... those little foxtails. They give some of the flowers a slightly unusual appearance. And that's exactly what I like. They're not all perfectly symmetrical. They're not all identical. They're peculiar. They're unique. They're different. And I genuinely enjoy that. 🦄 I Like Unicorns Maybe that's the easiest way to explain it. I like unicorns. 😂🦄 I like finding the plant that does something a little different. The plant that makes you stop. The phenotype that gives you a feature you weren't necessarily expecting. That's one of the reasons phenotype hunting is so much fun. You can start with the same genetic name... and still end up with plants that express themselves completely differently. And sometimes one of them gives you something that makes you think: "If I were keeping clones, I'd probably want to keep an eye on you." Frosted Guava Pheno A is starting to feel like one of those plants. ✨ Still Shining But underneath all the talk about foxtailing, there is something much more important: She's beautiful. That's the headline. The foxtailing is simply part of the story. The plant remains lush. The colour is gorgeous. The flowers are developing. The resin continues to build. She's progressing toward maturity. And she's doing all of this without demanding constant attention. That's a pretty good combination in my book. She's not asking me to fix her. She's asking me to provide. So that's what we'll do. Provide. Observe. Photograph. Learn. And enjoy. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm really curious to see how those flowers develop from here. Will the foxtailing continue? Will it become more pronounced? Will some flowers remain more compact while others continue stretching their floral structures? How much more resin will she develop? How much more will those beautiful flowers swell? And what will she look like when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the questions I want to answer. Not by guessing. By watching. Because that's the whole point of this adventure. We create the conditions. The plants provide the answers. And Frosted Guava is currently giving us some very interesting answers indeed. 💚 Final Thoughts — Let the Unicorn Shine Week 10. And Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me smile. She's beautiful. She's green. Actually... very, very green. 😂💚 She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. She's moving deeper into maturity. And yes... she's foxtailing. But I don't mind. Not every unusual characteristic needs to be treated as a problem. Some genetics naturally do it. Environmental factors can sometimes contribute. But I'm not seeing a reason to immediately blame the lighting here. So I'm going to do something much simpler. I'm going to appreciate it. Because it makes her flowers unique. It gives them character. And I like unique. I like peculiar. I like plants that surprise me. I like unicorns. 🦄💚 And even though I'm not keeping clones from this adventure... I have to admit: this girl looks like she would be keeper material. 😂 But that's not the mission. The mission is to watch. To document. To learn. And to let every phenotype tell its own story. Frosted Guava Pheno A is definitely telling hers. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. Increasing frost. A little foxtailing. A lot of personality. And absolutely no shortage of shine. So let's not change what doesn't need changing. Let's keep providing. Let's keep watching. And let's make this beautiful little unicorn shine. 🌿❄️🦄✨ 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful expression from the 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes and learn from each other. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics that gave us this fascinating girl. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. For every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who comes back week after week to see what these plants are becoming. That's what makes documenting this adventure so enjoyable. And Frosted Guava? She's giving us another beautiful chapter. She's not perfect. She's not supposed to be. She's peculiar. She's unique. She's a little bit of a unicorn. And honestly... that's exactly why I like her. 🦄💚 The deep greens. The beautiful flowers. The frost. The foxtailing. The personality. The possibility. Even if I'm not keeping clones... she's definitely making me wonder what a keeper selection from this expression could look like. But for now... we provide. We observe. We photograph. And we let her shine. Let's make her shine! 🌿❄️🦄✨ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 💚🌱

Semana 1 de fase de floración (sprouting day 21/04/202) 1) Radiante y magnifico el desarrollo de las cepas híbridas con ascendiente de genotipo Indica ( las tres cepas de Mr.Hide Seeds - Mr. Shiska USA / Mr. Jekyll Kush / Mr. California Pearl y la cepa híbrida con ratio 60/40 de Sativa/Indica). En comienzo de floración es muy claro que los trazos de Sativa en estas cepas híbridas, pese a que tengamos razones de genética (y sus fenotipos) marcados a un 70/30 (Ind./Sat.) ; 80/20 (Ind./Sat.) y 75/25 (Ind./Sat.) en acuerdo en este orden de Mr.Shiska USA // Mr. California Pearl // Mr. Jekyll Kush, Han revelado muchísimo de modo claro fenotipos de carácter Sativa y os explicó. En las tres cepas mencionadas resulta clarísima la naturaleza de hojas con puntas estrechas; internudos en regla cortas entre si y además la estructura arbustiva en forma general de abeto donde se diseña una cola central donde se desarrollará un cogollo central de dimensiones muy destacadas y después en áreas medianas a bajas, un conjunto de ramas secundarias donde se desarrollarán un número muy significativo de ramas donde el set de cogollos secundario se producirá sen limites mayores de estrés. Resulta pues muy claro que las tres cepas referidas sacando al porcentaje menor de fenotipo Sativa, enseñan en esta entrada a floración, la estructura característica de un "pino de navidad" y por sus esbozos resulta muy claro que tendremos la ya mencionada cola central que será de un grosor muy significativo y todos los cogollos secundarios en las áreas de base. Todos los cogollos serán muy significativos a lo tocante a un carácter muy resinoso y al los cogollos esféricos que son muy típicos de los de los fenotipos Sativa. Además la linea de terpenos  de los cogollos Sativa, acostumbran a tener un aroma muy pungente de pino; trazos dulzones y esse cierre terroso que es la imagen de marca de cepas Kush y mucho de las herencias OG. En contrapartida, la cuarta cepa por orden y por qué las tres que ya han sido mencionadas por pertenecer a un mismo banco - el Mr. Hide Seeds - en el caso lá Lockdown Kush de Sensei Seeds, siendo una muy particular genética híbrida 60/40 (Ind.//Sat.) , ha revelado una genética que destaca por la enorme anchura de su grupo de hojas primarias de base. La Lockdown Kush de Sensi es además una cepa con una característica muy definitiva, pongamos el enorme tamaño de su set de hojas primarias, la enorme anchura de las hojas; la disposición en cruce alternado de sus hojas primarias y además habrá que tener muy en cuenta el enorme cruce de un carácter increíblemente pungente de terpenos y de aromas tremendamente dulzones. La Lockdown Kush será una cepa a la cual es necesario volcar una atención extremada en el plan de defoliación, pues la anchura de hojas y el cruce de los tipos alternados de las mismas, tendrá una importancia muy destacada para que no haya áreas del grow que queden con una combinación nefasta de caracteres como sombra, calor y humedad elevada Esa área de hojas anchas cubriendo ramas secundarias - donde se dan condiciones para esbozos de cogllos- hay que estar muy al pendiente, pues con las condiciones de verano - temperatura y humedad elevada - si no se procede a un defoliado regular, puede que se den las condiciones para la expansión de patógenos de extrema gravedad. En eso, no es nunca demasiado llevar en cuenta el surgimiento de hongos como mildiu, rimam y botritis.  Además los patógenos a nivel radicular, temibles en estas fechas pasan por algunos de niveles de letalidad de grow enormes como el Fusarium ó el Pythium . No solo son patógenos que son críticos en su desarrollo sino que son muy agresivos en su expansión y además son muy rápidos en la forma con la cual eliminan a cualquier grow. Además y si no fuera lo bastante, por ejemplo en el caso del Fusarium, si después de su surgimiento no se procede a una desinfección generalizada del medio de grow y incluso de toda la casa, los esporos del Fusarium se quedan latentes y es muy fácil que pese a que tiremos macetas y medios de crecimiento, al año siguiente, los esporos vuelvan a tener condiciones para reproducción y en Fusarium vuelva a desarrollarse de modo muy rápido y agresivo. Nunca es demasiado poner los hermanos growers al dato y dar énfasis a todos que todos los años procedáis a la inoculación de mycorrhizas y sobretodo a lo que considero uno de los "escudos" de protección más efectivos en el grow canabico y que es el uso , SI Ó SI, de la Trichoderma harzanium y en todas las aplicaciones posibles - sea a nivel foliar; a nivel radicular, a nivel de las semillas y en combinaciones simbióticas con micorrizas; con bacterias de grow y con otros agentes. Ha sido en los últimos años muy importante la aportación de estos agentes fúngicos; bacteriológicos y otros, para que el control de plagas sea efectivo sin necesidad de cargar el grow sea con óleo de neem; de los insecticidas de la "vieja escuela" como las Cipemetrinas; ó algunos agentes que en mi opinión siendo muy efectivos en lo que se desea crean desequilíbrios muy profundos en lo que sea considerado los biomas como la bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis. Este agente de control de mariposas, pupas y orugas es la "solución final" a las mariposas, sus huevos, sus estágios de pupas y orugas, eliminando estos a una razón de casi 100%, pero para mi todo es muy sencillo, "la naturaleza le tiene ódio Al vacío" y que una bacteria te produzca extinción masiva de estos insectos, algo se altera en el bioma que causará a la postre, problemas en ciclos de vida de otras especies vegetales, animales, saprofitas ó otras y siempre le digo a los amigos que les apasiona la naturaleza y en concreto lo relativo a los grows canabicos. Eliminar las mariposas, orugas y pupas, tendrá un impacto biológico que no es posible cuantificar...o sea...es justo para que nuestros grows estén protegidos de plagas que se haga uso de algunos agentes que permitan controlar el desarrollo y la relación biológica inter-especies. O seu, no necesitamos seguramente que nuestro grow este prejudicado por una plaga que lo coloque en riesgo, pero para la naturaleza como un "todo", no es en mi opinión válido, que se use un agente como el Bacillus thuringiensis, que elimina 100% de las mariposas y sus estadios, de huevos a pupas y de ahí a orugas y de ahí a mariposas. En Biología, hay siempre que llevar en cuenta que las mariposas/orugas tienen una función y que si sacamos de un "exterminador total" como el Bacillus thuringiensis, estaremos creando un "inbalance" a nivel de bioma y con ello, tendremos quizás en poco tiempo, desequilíbrios en la cadena alimentar; en las bacterias, nematodos y otros seres vivientes, que necesitan de las mariposas/orugas para su ciclo y que en la naturaleza si como "humanos" y a "nuestra utilidad*, usamos una bacteria para eliminar las orugas/mariposas que nos comen las hojas del grow...la naturaleza y su plan es perfecto... Por algún motivo, hay necesidad de que puedan haber orugas y mariposas, que coman hojas de la Cannabis spp. (sin con ello haber un descontrol y una amenaza a nuestra intención). Por ejemplo, las mariposas tienen funciones de polinización y la acción de las orugas, tiene desde hace milenios, función de estimulación por estrés, lo que ha llevado a perfeccionar terpenos y incluso la estructura de producción de moléculas como el THC ∆-9. O sea que el estrés que las mariposas y orugas inducen, con su ciclo de alimentación, por ejemplo en el ciclo de grow de cannabis, es de importancia trancendiente a la evolución de la cannabis. Imaginemos pues que desde el día 1 de la Cannabis spp., se hubiera empezado a cargar el suelos y hojas de la cannabis con el Bacillus thuringiensis, para que las orugas y mariposas no comiesen la Cannabis...como tendríamos mariposas que hiciesen polinización? Como podria  la cannabis por el estrés, apurar sus canabinóides y sus terpenos? Por eso y como os digo, para mí, las "soluciones finales" como el Bacillus thuringiensis, son un campo muy peligroso y es por antonomasia, contrariar la naturaleza en su perfección. Si la idea es tener un grow "perfecto", el "perfecto" es en mi opinión, especies que se interrelacionan, que "tiran" unas de otras y donde el principio de simbiosis se asegure...la cannabis necesita de orugas que coman de si, pues las orugas ganan con esa relación biológica en alimento; en desarrollo de mariposas que harán la polinización de la cannabis proporcionando variabilidad genética y la alimentación de las orugas y mariposas conllevará a la respuesta química de la planta, apurando canabinóides, aumento de tasas de estos y creando desarrollo de terpenos que serán fundamentales para efectos de "entourage" que mejorarán el producto final. 2) En entrada de floración hay que destacar la buenísima pegada de crecimiento a cada semana. Este paso de vegetativo a floración con el cambio a 12/12 en el ciclo lumínico de encendido a oscuro, ha sido programado tomando en cuenta que el 24 de abril (día del cambio de ciclo lumínico) ha sido coincidente con luna nueva (ciclo lunar donde el estrés es menor y donde los cambios sufren un impacto menor). Ha sido muy importante también estar "al dato" con el agua en el sistema, pues en macetas de 9 litros, si se hace fácil aportar exceso de agua, las características de los airpots también tienen una tendencia de un secado de sustrato más rápido y con ello hay que tener presente que los riegos tendrán que hacerse según necesidad. En esta semana, como medida de rectificación creí necesario de hacer entre riegos, aspersiones foliares sacando a uso elementos que en este comienzo de floración son indispensables. Pese a que el Boost de Hesi no sea un orgánico, en regla cuando usado en simultáneo como aspersión foliar con el Big One de Top Crop; el C4 de Mills; el Ultra MG de Gold Label y además el Organic Bloom de B.A.C. . Así que disfrutad, hermanos y la próxima semana y entrada, que sea claro para vosotros el estupendo trabajo que está en desarrollo y muy claro tengo que estamos en la antepara de una temporada magnífica. 420 Forever y que el verde sea sempre nuestro corazón. Abrazo, Tom
