👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 10 | The Queen Has No Patience for Empty Plates 😂👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And, well... I have to start this week's report with an apology. I did it again. 😂 Somehow, once again, the individual photographs of our Queen have disappeared into the mysterious photographic universe. I have absolutely no idea what I did. I'm starting to suspect that Godfather OG Pheno A has personally decided that she doesn't need individual portraits anymore. She's basically saying: "You already know who I am. Look at the whole room." 😂👑 And fortunately, we do have photographs of the entire room. She's right there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And honestly? She's looking beautiful. So although I don't have the individual photo collection I wanted for this week's update, I certainly haven't lost sight of her. She's still one of the girls that immediately gets my attention when I walk into the 8×8. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still a little angry with me from time to time. 😂 And she's still growing absolutely amazingly. So let's give this Queen the spotlight she deserves anyway. Because photographs or not... you can't really hide the Queen. 👑🌿🔥 🌱 Week 10 – Still Growing Her Own Way Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop and look. She's tall. She's strong. She's demanding. And she has absolutely no interest in behaving like everybody else in the room. That's one of the things I've enjoyed most about watching her throughout this adventure. She's never really tried to make things easy for me. 😂👑 But at the same time... she keeps rewarding the attention. She's growing. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's consuming everything the environment gives her. And she's continuing to show us that very distinctive personality that we've been documenting from the beginning. The Queen may be demanding... but she's productive. And that's a pretty good combination. 👑 Still Demanding – Still Hungry Let's talk about the elephant in the room. This girl eats. 😂🍽️🌿 She's one of those phenotypes where I look at what we're providing and think: "Okay... that's gone already?" She's hungry. She's using the resources available to her. She's growing strongly. And she continues to give me the impression that, if given the opportunity, she'd happily sit down at the table and finish everybody else's dinner too. 😂 This is one of the things that makes her interesting in a room containing so many different genetics. We're not running twelve completely different feeding programmes. We're giving the room a consistent foundation and observing how each plant responds. And Godfather OG Pheno A is making her response very clear: "I can use more." That's useful information. I'm watching her closely, because there's a difference between a plant that is genuinely demanding and one that is simply showing a slightly different expression. With this girl, the appetite has been remarkably consistent. And yet... she keeps growing beautifully. So the Queen remains on the watch list. 👀👑 🌿 The Anger Is Part of the Personality 😂 She's still a little angry. I'm not even going to argue with her anymore. 😂 Some plants politely ask. Some plants quietly suggest. Godfather OG Pheno A seems to send official royal correspondence. "I require more." 😂👑📜 But underneath the drama, what matters is that she's continuing to develop extremely well. She's not sitting there stalled. She's not giving up. She's not stopping. She's actively building. And that's why I continue to find her so fascinating. She can challenge me while simultaneously showing me that she's perfectly capable of turning that environment into growth. That's a phenotype worth paying attention to. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Moving Forward And even without her individual close-up photographs this week, the wider room images still give us something important. She's flowering beautifully. The structures continue developing. The flowers are becoming more established. And the plant is moving deeper into the stage where all that earlier structural growth starts paying off. This is where I really enjoy looking back through the diary. Because the plant we saw earlier in the run isn't the same plant we're looking at now. The framework is already there. The branches are established. The flowering sites have developed. And now we're watching those sites become increasingly meaningful flowers. She's doing exactly what I want to see from her. Not necessarily behaving perfectly... but developing beautifully. And honestly? I'll take that every time. 💡 The Queen Is Catching Photons And once again, we have to talk about photons. Because this week, more than ever, I find myself thinking about the relationship between this girl's appetite and the amount of light she's receiving. Every second that the lights are running, photons are moving through the canopy. We can't see them. But the plant can use them. Leaves intercept that light. Photosynthetic machinery converts that captured energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the enormous collection of processes happening inside the plant. Growth. Maintenance. Water movement. Development. Flower formation. Everything is connected. And Godfather OG Pheno A appears to be making a serious effort to capture as many of those photons as possible. ☀️💡🌿 She's got a large structure. She's got plenty of foliage. She's got flowers distributed through that structure. And she's hungry for resources. So when I look at her, I don't just see a tall flowering plant. I see a three-dimensional photon-capturing machine. And she's working. ☀️ More Than Just Light From Above The lighting philosophy in this room is also about more than simply throwing photons at the top of the canopy. The main Black Series LEDs provide the primary illumination. Then we have additional lighting helping reach areas deeper inside the plants and lower down in the canopy. That matters because a plant like Godfather OG Pheno A isn't a perfectly flat surface. She's tall. She's layered. She's got branches occupying different heights. She's got flowers positioned at different angles. So the photons entering the room encounter a complex three-dimensional structure. Some are intercepted immediately. Others travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some are absorbed by leaves. Some pass through gaps. And that's part of what makes the lighting environment so interesting in this project. We're not just lighting a canopy. We're illuminating a jungle. 😂🌿💡 💡 Photons + Plant Architecture This is also where genetics become fascinating. Two plants can receive essentially the same lighting environment... and use it completely differently. A compact phenotype creates one type of canopy. A tall phenotype creates another. An open plant allows photons to travel differently from a dense one. And Godfather OG Pheno A has built herself a very particular architecture. She's tall. She's substantial. She's got plenty happening throughout the vertical space. And she's clearly making use of it. That's why I don't want to look at the lighting only as a number. I want to look at the relationship between: 💡 Light 🌿 Architecture 🍃 Leaf area 🌸 Flower distribution 💨 Air movement 🌡️ Environment ⚗️ Nutrition All of these things interact. And this Queen is giving us a particularly interesting example of what happens when a hungry phenotype gets access to a stable environment and plenty of photons. 🌸 She's Turning Light Into Something Beautiful And that's ultimately what we're watching. The photons themselves aren't the interesting part. The interesting part is what the plant does with them. We see the result in the leaves. We see it in the growth. We see it in the developing flowers. We see it in the overall structure. The invisible becomes visible. And when I walk into the room and see Godfather OG Pheno A continuing to develop, that's what I think about. All that light. All that captured energy. All those resources. Being turned into a living, flowering plant. That's pretty damn cool. 💡🌿👑 🌿 Still the Queen of Her Own Space She's also maintaining that unmistakable presence she's had throughout the grow. At around 169 cm, she's one of the taller girls in the room. And she uses that height. She doesn't just occupy vertical space. She fills it. The structure gives her plenty of places to develop flowers, while her foliage continues supporting the plant. She's not trying to be compact. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's simply being Godfather OG Pheno A. And that's exactly what I want from this experiment. I don't want twelve identical plants. I want twelve stories. And this Queen has certainly given us one. 💨 Keeping the Environment Working With Her As the flowers continue developing, maintaining the relationship between the canopy and the environment becomes increasingly important. A large plant creates its own little weather system inside the canopy. Leaves transpire. Air moves. Humidity changes locally. Temperature interacts with the surrounding environment. And all of those factors matter more as flowering structures become larger. So the objective remains the same: keep the room stable and allow the plant to work. Good air movement. Consistent environmental conditions. Appropriate light. Stable root-zone conditions. And observation. We're not trying to micromanage every leaf. We're trying to maintain a system where the plant can do what it has clearly decided to do. Grow. Flower. Eat. And apparently complain. 😂👑 ⚗️ Feeding – The Queen Still Wants Seconds The shared nutrition strategy remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current room values remain around: pH ~6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And once again, Godfather OG Pheno A is making it clear that she's one of the hungrier phenotypes in the room. I'm not going to turn that observation into an automatic recipe change. The plant gets watched as a whole. Her growth. Her flowers. Her foliage. Her overall progression. Her response over time. But yes... if plants could talk, I have a feeling this one would be asking for a larger menu. 😂🍽️👑 🌡️ The Room Remains Her Foundation The environment continues to sit around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: ~1.4 L/plant/24h And once again, the numbers are only part of the story. The real story is the response. And her response is: I'm growing. That's what I want to hear. 📸 Yes... I Lost Her Photos Again. 😂 Okay. Let's address this properly. I'm sorry. 😂📸👑 Somehow, the individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A from last week and this week seem to have ended up together, somewhere, in some folder that apparently exists in another dimension. I have photographs of the other girls. Plenty of them. The whole room is documented. She's visible in those wider photographs. But her dedicated individual photographs? Gone. Again. I genuinely have no idea how I managed this twice. So to everybody following her diary: my true apologies. 💚 I know the individual photographs are an important part of these weekly updates, especially when we're documenting a phenotype separately. And I promise: Next week, the Queen gets her portrait session. No excuses. No mysterious folders. No photographic disappearances. 😂📸👑 I'm putting her back on the priority list. 🌿 But Look at Her in the Jungle The good news is that the wider room photographs still show something important. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. And she's looking beautiful. Sometimes seeing the plant within the whole ecosystem actually tells us something that a close-up can't. You see her relationship with the surrounding plants. You see the scale. You see the canopy. You see where she sits inside the room. And you can appreciate how much structure she's built. So while I'm definitely disappointed that I don't have her individual photographs... I'm not disappointed with the plant. Not even remotely. She's doing fantastic. 🔬 Another Week of Phenotype Hunting This is another week where Godfather OG Pheno A reminds me why this project exists. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're watching how they respond to a shared foundation. And this girl has given us a very clear identity. She's: 👑 Tall 🍽️ Hungry 🌿 Vigorous 🌸 Productive 💡 Light-hungry 😂 Demanding 🔥 Beautiful And somehow... she continues to make me smile every time I check on her. Even when she's angry. Especially when she's angry. 😂👑 Because the challenge is part of the personality. 🔮 Where Does the Queen Go From Here? That's the question now. She's already established herself. She's already shown us her appetite. She's already shown us her structure. She's already shown us that she's capable of developing beautiful flowers. Now I want to see what happens as those flowers continue to mature. How much more will they develop? How will her aroma progress? How will her resin expression develop? How will the overall plant finish? And perhaps most importantly... how much more food is this woman going to ask for? 😂🍽️ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. We'll watch. We'll document. We'll adapt when necessary. And we'll let her tell us. 💭 Final Thoughts – The Queen Doesn't Need a Portrait to Rule So... Week 10. No individual photographs. Again. I'm sorry. 😂💚 But the Queen is still here. She's still standing tall. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still capturing photons. She's still developing flowers. And she's still looking absolutely beautiful. The wider photographs show her within the jungle. The environment is stable. The lighting is doing its job. The photons keep flying. And this girl keeps catching as many as she possibly can. She's eating everything she can. She's growing everything she can. She's taking the environment we've given her and turning it into her own expression. And honestly? I couldn't ask for a more interesting phenotype to follow. She doesn't make things boring. 😂👑 So this week, even without the individual portraits... the spotlight remains firmly on her. Because she deserves it. And next week? I promise. Portraits. The Queen is getting her photographs back. 📸👑😂 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering this jungle and keeping those photons flying. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. This adventure continues to be one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. One jungle. And so many personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. She may be angry. She may be demanding. She may eat everything in sight. She may have fired her photographer two weeks in a row. 😂📸 But she's also growing beautifully. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's catching photons. She's using the environment. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give the Queen her spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see where this hungry, demanding, beautiful girl takes us next. 👑🌿💡🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 And I promise... next week, the Queen gets her damn photographs. 😂📸👑

June 21st - they are doing great with the newa ac unit. temps are saying around 25-26. They are just growing away. I decided this week I would swap there nutrients for transition to flower. I watered them today with the first mix of the recommended transition to flower. June 22nd - Still growing away, they seem to be picking up growth quite a bit now! June 23rd - Starting to explode with growth! Everything looks healthy. I have turned the lights up to about 85% now. Gave them a feeding today, again with the transition to flower recommendation. June 24th - Still growing like crazy. They are on a 12/12 schedule and it looks like they're on there way to flower! Junes 25th - Lots of growth in the last 5 days. They have perked up a ton, grown a ton of fan leafs and its almost time to do some more lst or defoliation. Gave them another feeding today. I have decided to just feed with every watering as it is the manufactures recommendation. June 26th - Took the girls out and did some LST on them again as they were starting to become pretty uneven. Unfortunately I only took pictures/videos of the one plant. You can definitely see the growth since the start of this week. They seem to be getting pretty dry by the morning so I have been feeding roughly every 24-36 hours making sure not to overwater. June 27th -They popped back up overnight and are just growing away. Another watering today. Roughly 3L per plant. Again making sure not to overwater.

The final flush begins for Amnesia lemon haze. She smells awesome, has decently large buds and a good amount of frost. That's all for this week, tune in next week when she gets harvested! 👽🌳🔥

Hello friends hope all is well. Can’t say i can’t complain this tree is doing well. So far am waiting for to stretch some more. The buds are forming well. I’ll be giving her a organic compost low in N and big in P-K. So far my organic grown has been the best way to go. It more fun, and the learning experience is great to use with other gardens and plants.

Alga Bloom was add. Nothing to do this week, no problems with plant. Plant stretching PH 6.2 - 6.6

Week 4 updated Hey guys, so 2 out of the 3 shocked plants caught back themselves, they are doing great. I added 2 more plants so we're st 5 in total. I topped the big plant and started mainlining her. She's growing nicely and I hope to shape her really good. I'd start mainlining the other 2 probably later on this week and maybe by the end of this week I can top the 2 new added plants providing growth. I'm feed ing everyone Athena Grow and Core. No signs of deficiencies so we're off to a good start. See you guys next week! Don't for get to use my code STLVDXW for an extra 15% off your next order at fast buds #fastbuds

Almost ready to harvest, 7 weeks in flowering, lets see how many more days left. What do you think?

everything is going quite well, there were problems with lack of potassium, but that error has already been fixed :) the girl has already started sugar leaves :)

Sad she was ready to be chopped, but excited as hell too! 😁 I have another seed and Im already fighting the temptation to do her again! 🤣🤤 Cant wait to smoke! 💨 Ty for the 💚

Exciting week, this girl has gone into flower! Was seeing the start of some pistils at beginning of week and by end of week they are fully into flower. Just over an inch of growth a day, and were just hitting stretch. Nice busy even plant, with zero training or defoliation to date. Love how blueberry crosses are almost always naturally bushy plants. Trying out Plagrons Power Buds, claims more bud sites, see how she. Goes! Plants seem happy with the mix so far, so good! Lights at 30" hitting 580-600 umol/s

La Runtz tiene toques leves de color rosado supongo que de la Gelato, tenemos dos phenos que pinta. Muy bien farmers Pcg de momento nunca me a fallado!💪🏻

È stato fantastico! Adoro i colori viola,rosso e rosa che appaiono su gran parte delle mimose Purple Kush autofiorenti in Italia, a pensare che nonostante i 35 gradi di temperatura comunque sono diventate viola in gran parte e cariche di resina tutte! Sono buonissime anche le mimose che non vengono viola o rosse di colore anzi sono più dolci e decise nel gusto mentre le mimose che diventano colorate sviluppano gusti ed aromi nuovi che spesso ricordano i frutti di bosco a caramelle zuccherate! In alcune mimose ho trovato tipo caffè e pepe dolce come aroma cioè stile Kashmir landrace! Resistente molto ai parassiti, resistono al caldo e si adattano facilmente in giardino, con poche attenzioni ed i giusti nutrienti e dosaggi si otterranno risultati memorabili con queste meravigliose varietà, sfido tutti i migliori leader del settore a fare di meglio! La mia mimosa è fantastica signori!

Week 12 kicking off and she is getting chunky still, will be another couple weeks before she is done. Definitely the higher yielding one of the two. Coming up on the end of the 12th week and she is producing new bud sites still. I had to cut off a 6 inch side branch that grew in and started preflowering but was a small branch and would not have time to finish. Not sure what brought on the flower bursts, but she is chunky! And she smells like fruity pebbles so that is awesome!

Germinating F1 Cosmos a success using humidity Tray & heating pad complete darkness!

I started Flushing two plants as there nearing the end of there days. I'll start Flushing the others this week apart from the kalimist indica pheno as it started flowering 3 or so weeks after the others even though they were all forced together. (alkward bugger) Some of the plants are showing red /purple colours a little bit 👍

the plant looks great

harvest soon day 83 - turned off the light

This time I dont top them to See how she Looks naturally! Without to much Stress,Even if I recommend 1 topping doesent matter if you run it First to See what they do when you let them grow normally Now they all showin there female Parts,what we all love to See 💚
