DAY49 7 Weeks Buds are hard. Smell is extreme. Very limited amount of spidermites under some leaves. No reason to exterminate them, because next week I'll probably harvest the plants. The smell of the Triple G is fanastic, Big separated buds. The Cookies Gelato are more sativa style of buds than I'm use of them. There leaves are turning purple. The Liberty Haze has a lot of small leaves in the buds, and thet got amasing blinking white flowers. Probably this will be the plants I'll harvest the last, because they need some extra flowering time. The Wedding Gelato is creamy, lots of trichomes and is fast flowering. But some flowers got budrot. I'ts hard to get the humidity low because of the rainy and misty autumn outside.

Two phenotypes - one purple and one white/green. The purple was very difficult to train and resulted in a couple inadvertent breaks - luckily it was repairable. The other trained very well, very flexible and worked very good for SCROG. Both produced heavily and are beautiful. The purple tends to be much more fluffy, with very long pistil hairs - the longest of any grow I have done. The white was super dense, very crystally and sticky. It will be very interesting to see how they smoke. Also, the purple tended to do very well with some nute mistakes I made as well as fluctuating pH in my water feeding. The white did not do as well in this regard but was able to get to harvest fine. Wet bud weight is prior to trimming. The buds off of these plants were HUGE!!!! Plant #1: (Purple): Wet weight - 76.58oz prior to trim; 15 colas; Terps: White - 60%, Clear - 20%, Amber - 20% Plant #2: (White): Wet weight - 71.65oz prior to trim; 16 colas; Terps: White - 70%, Clear - 30%, After 3 days of drying, took them down to trim for my jars. After a few hours filled mostly quart jars 3/4 full but also tried an Infinity jar and a gallon mason jar to minimize the number of smaller jars. Dry weights into jars: Plant #1: 14.79 oz Plant #2: 11.76oz I did pull them after a day to dry rack them for 12 hours due to a little bit higher moisture content then I would have liked ( 70%rH). Re-jarred on 6/1/23 and now holding steady at around 60% rH. Cure Check In (Week 2): 6/10 - 6/12/23: rH ~ 63 - 66%. Daily air exposure & fanning. Very smelly. Looking good - another couple weeks and will be ready.

***** Week 7 December 26 to Jan 1, 2020 - Days 43 to 49 from germination ***** Oh yeah baby.......that was a stretch week in week 6!!!.......she gained roughly 10 inches last week๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Only 7 days ago I was not sure where we stood with transition and stretch but she took off by mid week last week. I expect this week to be similar to last and she will keep stretching through mid week at minimum but then likely be pretty close to end of stretch and focus on buds. Using this week to ensure we keep her tied down and try and maintain an even canopy in order to have lights at optimum height. She is consuming a couple of liters a day now and will continue this way for a few weeks I suspect. Ensuring that she is getting silica now to strengthen the branches to help support weight. She has some nice thickness to her 8 main branches reaching for the top. Good signs that she will be able to support weight of bigger buds. Its also time to get Terpinator going in full gear as well. This girl has tons of terps according to other diaries so want to ensure we support their production as well๐Ÿ‘ Not sure if I will add Rezin from Green Planet to help with trichome production this go or not.....I wanted to stay with just Remo's line of nutes but I still have to add silica, microbes, beneficial bacteria, and enzymes........yes healthy microbes will produce beneficial enzymes but I always add them as well.......so am I really staying with just that line already??? She had more yellow leaves at the below than I realized when I pulled her out. Not what we want at this point in life so ppm have been stepped up and frequency will increase for both Fast Buds girls๐Ÿ˜€ Healthy and strong growers need the meat and potatoes!!!!! Really want the flavors to come out for this girl so I have been watching the feed and trying to make sure I don't find myself unable to flush her well enough. Finding the balance๐Ÿ˜ƒ Little more daily detail......... Dec 26/20, Day 43 - 2L full feed again. Had mixed up 12L yesterday. - Added 2ml/L of Microbial Mass and Piranha = 1200ppm and 5.9pH. - The girls needed their microbe allotment as we get closer to the end. - Bacteria added to help keep some of the nutrients in the media as she finishes. - next watering is more of plain water and add Terpinator. Dec 27/20, Day 44 - pots are light again in the afternoon. - 2L watering with Magnifical and Microbes and Rezin @ 2ml. Terpinator @ 3ml = 400ppm and 5.8pH - She is a hungry girl but backing off the ppm on this watering a bit. - trimmed lower branching on the outside and down low. No need for her to waist energy on four branches so cut them off. - I have added Green Planet Rezin because it has become part of my routine now for the last few grows and my girls have been frosty......continuing with it on this grow......in moderation๐Ÿ˜œ Dec 28/20, Day 45 - the girl is hungry so feeding again today with full nutrients. - 2.5L watering today, stepping up from 2L volume. - Full line of Remo, all 6 parts plus silica again @ 2ml = 1150ppm and 5.9pH Dec 29/20, Day 46 - another feeding in the morning today. Pot was really light. - 2L in the morning giving with same feed of 1150ppm and 5.9pH. - in the evening, 12 hours later, pots were pretty light so gave another 1.25L of feed that was left over for 16L mixture yesterday. - she had a total of 3.5L feed today......water tomorrow and not feed. - observing today that she is slow accepting new water into the media......root issues starting? - stripped off two lower outside branches again today that are too low. - will keep talking some lower branches from this girl this week and then leave her alone after that.......not too radical, just a few that will not amount to much in the end. Dec 30/20, Day 47 - she has not finished her stretch just yet......she is taller again this morning. - Pulled them out quickly to test the weight of the pots and they need watering again today. - The leaf colour is quite green now when you pull them out and look at them under natural light.......back off ppm next two watering's and keep CalMag, Terpinator, and microbes for now only. - 11:00am she had 2L watering with Magnifical @ 1ml, Enzymes Komplete and Microbial Mass @ 2ml = 175ppm and 5.7pH Dec 31/20, Day 48 - pots are really light this morning. - 2.5L feeding with Terpinator @ 3ml, MagNifiCal and Rezin @ 2ml Natures Candy @ 1ml = 600ppm and 5.9pH - pulled her out and trimmed off a fair bit of lower branching. Did it now before she gets too far into flower. - she has really vigorous branching so trimmed a lot of inside growth and the bottom 1/3 of her. - It was actually fairly aggressive stripping so will keep an eye on her and see how she reacts......should have added some kelp and vitamin B to the feed but didn't๐Ÿ˜ถ Jan 1/21, Day 49 - watering in the morning. - 2.5L watering with CalMag, VeloKelp and Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 400ppm and 6.0pH (Had to add Terpinator for 1ml/L to bring down the pH......missed it so added something, too much pH up was added.) - they have been given a lot of ppm this week so backing off a bit and just giving some basics as using RO water. - bud sites mid way down the stems are getting bigger and stacking more........she has some huge potential to yield but with her only in a 3 gal pot.......I feel like I shot myself in the foot and she should have certainly had a 5gal pot!!!!

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Little Unicorn Has Gone Full Auto Mode Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... I think Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially stopped caring about what anybody else in this room is doing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's in full auto mode. And honestly? I'm absolutely loving it. She's growing. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing some beautiful flower formation. And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm. At this point, I'm not even trying to guess what she's going to do next. I'm just watching. Because every time I think I understand this girl... she does something else. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She's definitely one of the more interesting personalities in the room. And this week? She's looking absolutely beautiful. So let's give this little unicorn the spotlight she deserves. ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ FULL AUTO MODE ACTIVATED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I know... technically she's an autoflower. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But watching all these different cultivars under the same 12/12-from-seed environment has created one of the funniest parts of this entire experiment. At this point, I honestly don't know which ones are behaving like autos... and which ones are behaving like photoperiods. The photoperiods are behaving like autos. The autos are behaving like photoperiods. And some of them seem to have decided: "Why don't we just do whatever the hell we want?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Frosted Guava Pheno A definitely belongs in that last category. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. This is exactly why I love the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can give them the same stage. We can give them the same lighting. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same schedule. And then... the genetics start writing their own story. And this girl has definitely picked her own chapter. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWER FORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the first thing that catches my eye this week. The flower formation. It's beautiful. The structures are becoming more substantial. The individual flowers are developing beautifully. And the overall plant is starting to carry some serious presence. We're past the point where I'm simply looking for flowering sites. They're here. They're established. They're building. And now I'm watching what they're becoming. That's one of my favourite stages of the entire run. The plant has already told us: "I'm flowering." Now she's starting to tell us: "Look what I'm building." And Frosted Guava is giving us plenty to look at. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš–๏ธ THIS GIRL IS HEAVY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think this deserves its own section. Because she's heavy. Really heavy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ You can see it in the way the plant carries itself. There is a substantial amount of flower developing throughout her structure, and she's definitely becoming one of those girls where you start looking at the branches a little differently. Not because there's a problem. Quite the opposite. It's because she's built something worth carrying. The plant is putting her energy into flower development and stacking, and the result is becoming increasingly impressive. She's got weight. She's got structure. She's got flowers everywhere. And she's definitely not finished. That's the part that makes me curious. Because if she's already carrying this much... where does she decide to take it from here? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy letting her answer that question herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ THE LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL HERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nickname isn't going anywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Frosted Guava Pheno A still has that little something that makes her different. The flower structures. The way she's developing. The little peculiarities. The overall personality. She's not just another plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And that's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't necessarily know what you're going to get from a name. You can have expectations. You can have descriptions. You can have breeder information. But then you put the plant into your own environment... and she tells you who she actually is. This girl is telling us: "I'm going to be beautiful, I'm going to be heavy, and I'm going to do things my way." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š Fair enough, girl. We're listening. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And underneath all that development... the frost continues to catch the eye. The flowers are increasingly detailed. The surfaces are becoming more textured. The resin-covered areas are becoming more obvious. And once the camera gets close? That's when the fun really starts. ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ From across the room, she's a beautiful flowering plant. From a few centimetres away... she becomes another world. Pistils. Trichomes. Flower structure. Little details. Textures. And all those tiny things that disappear when you're simply looking at the whole plant. That's why I love photographing this stage. The plant is changing every week. And the camera lets us freeze those changes in time. Frosted Guava is giving us plenty of moments worth freezing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ DEEP GREEN & BEAUTIFUL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And let's not forget that beautiful foliage. That deep green remains one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. It gives the plant so much visual depth. The darker foliage creates contrast against the developing flowers. And then you add the frost... and suddenly you've got this incredibly photogenic combination. Deep green. Developing flowers. Bright pistils. Frost. Texture. And those peculiar little floral structures that make her look like the unicorn she has become. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’šโ„๏ธ She's not trying to look like anybody else. And that's exactly how it should be. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM. MORE PHOTONS. SAME GIRL. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting environment has received the same upgrade as the rest of the room. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available PPFD was higher than our target. So rather than simply running everything flat out, we've reduced the output to around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug This gives us approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Frosted Guava? She's receiving the same photons as everyone else. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded environment. Yet... look at what she's doing with it. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. The photons are there. She's deciding what to do with them. And apparently... she has plans. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE 8ร—8 ARTIFICIAL SUN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is still one of the things I find most fascinating about the project. We have created one big artificial sun. And now we're watching twelve different genetic personalities interpret it. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some move quickly. Some take their time. Some become extremely frosty. Some build huge flowers. Some create strange structures. And some... become Frosted Guava. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. And this little unicorn is putting on a pretty damn good show. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME PROGRAM, NEW LEVEL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional program has also been updated across the room. Terra Bloom has increased slightly: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L with the rest of the flowering program remaining: ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current readings are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... Frosted Guava is receiving the same overall program as everybody else. No special recipe. No special treatment. No attempt to force her into another phenotype. We're simply giving her the same opportunity... and watching what she does with it. And she's responding beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 โ€“ CURRENT CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room is currently running around: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 11 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h The environment remains consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been slightly increased. And the plants are continuing to show us how differently they interpret the same world. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ SHE'S STACKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is where I keep coming back. The stacking. There is something extremely satisfying about seeing the flowers begin to build on themselves. You can look at a single branch and see multiple developing flower structures. Then you look at another. And another. And suddenly you realize how much of the plant is participating. She's not putting everything into one isolated point. She's building throughout her structure. And as those flowers gain more presence, the entire plant starts to look heavier. More substantial. More mature. And honestly... I really like what I'm seeing. ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ SHE'S DOING WHAT SHE WANTS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This might actually be my favourite part of her story. She's doing what the fuck she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sorry, but... she is. We're here. We're watching. We're providing. We're documenting. And Frosted Guava is basically saying: "Thanks for the support. I'll take it from here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And you know what? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because the best part of growing isn't always controlling the plant. Sometimes it's watching the plant reveal itself. Sometimes the most interesting thing you can do is step back and let genetics speak. And this girl has plenty to say. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S MOVING BEAUTIFULLY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ She's not necessarily trying to win some imaginary race. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. The flowers are progressing. The structure is developing. The plant is becoming heavier. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And the whole thing is starting to come together. We're still not at the finish line. Far from it. So I'm not going to start pretending we know exactly where she'll end. We don't. And that's the fun part. We're watching. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. Flower by flower. And Frosted Guava is writing her own story in real time. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA HAS A BUSY WEEK AHEAD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I already know what's going to happen. I'm going to photograph the whole plant. Then a branch. Then a flower. Then another. Then I'll see something interesting. Then I'll move closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And suddenly I've spent twenty minutes photographing one cola. But that's okay. Because this stage deserves that attention. There is so much detail developing. The flower structures. The stacking. The resin. The pistils. The textures. The little peculiarities. And all those things make each photograph another little piece of the diary. We're not just recording the final result. We're recording the journey. And Frosted Guava is giving us a very interesting journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ THE AUTO WORLD IS GETTING CONFUSING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This deserves another mention because it's honestly one of the funniest observations from this entire run. We're now looking at another autoflower... under the exact same 12/12-from-seed environment... and she's behaving like she belongs here perfectly. Meanwhile, some of the photoperiods are behaving like they're autos. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... which is which? Honestly? Sometimes I don't know anymore. And I think that's one of the coolest things about this experiment. The labels tell us what the genetics are. The plants tell us how they're actually expressing themselves in this particular environment. And Frosted Guava? She's clearly comfortable with the arrangement. She's not complaining. She's not asking for a different schedule. She's just growing. And growing beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ HEAVY GIRL, BEAUTIFUL GIRL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plenty of plants in this room that have caught my attention. But Frosted Guava has something special. She's becoming heavy. She's becoming increasingly substantial. And she's doing it while maintaining that beautiful personality that we've been watching since the beginning. The structure is interesting. The flowers are beautiful. The plant has presence. And now she's reaching that point where you start wondering just how much more she can build. I'm curious. Very curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ But I'm not rushing her. She's got her own clock. And I'm happy to let her use it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ My questions have changed again. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to flower. She's clearly flowering. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to build flowers. She's clearly building them. Now I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ How much more will the flowers stack? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will she carry? โ„๏ธ How much more resin will develop? ๐Ÿฆ„ Will those unusual floral structures continue? ๐ŸŒฟ How will the overall plant mature from here?

She doesn't need us to turn her into another phenotype. She doesn't need us to make her behave differently. She's healthy. She's developing. She's building. She's beautiful. So we're going to let her continue. The grower provides the environment. The plant does the growing. The camera documents the journey. And everybody gets to enjoy the show. That's the philosophy. And Frosted Guava is making it very easy to follow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ LET THE UNICORN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So here we are. Week 11. Frosted Guava Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still green. Still frosty. Still peculiar. Still stacking. Still getting heavier. Still doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š She's another one of those girls where I walk into the room and immediately notice her. Not because she's screaming. Not because she's demanding. But because she has personality. And now... she's becoming a seriously heavy flowering plant. That's a combination I really like. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the weirdness. Let's appreciate the unicorn. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธโœจ Because honestly? I wouldn't change her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ LOOKING AHEAD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ We're still not at the finish line. There is plenty of road ahead. And I'm genuinely curious about what the next chapters will look like. Will the flowers continue stacking? Will she continue getting heavier? Will the unusual floral structures become even more pronounced? Will the frost keep building? How will the plant look when she finally decides she's done? I don't know. And that's exactly why I'm keeping the camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ We'll let her tell us. No rushing. No forcing. Just watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another fascinating phenotype. And another reminder that this 8ร—8 Adventure is really about one thing: watching genetics express themselves. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the lighting and, especially, for the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that allowed us to expand the lighting capability of the room. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what these girls are doing this week. It genuinely means a lot. And Frosted Guava? Well... she's still doing what Frosted Guava does. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more interesting. And she's doing it completely in her own way. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š So yes... let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's see where this beautiful, heavy little unicorn decides to take us. Because she's clearly not finished yet. And I, for one, am very curious to see what she has planned next. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„โœจ

Just bought some "predatory mites" to kill bad mites and it's working! I've spread half of a bottle in all my babies soil and the situation changed in like 3 days, not even one bug stayed alive. I've used also the Neem oil to prevent flies to go on their leaves and they are fine now. Starting LST, let's see how they will react. Keep you updated folks! Have a wonderful week!

Day 71: The left plant is starting to show some of the same problems I see on the right plant so I am going to flush her too tomorrow. I think that it is mostly due to the light stress from before, it is just showing now, but to be safe she gets a flush too @5.8 ph Day 73: Hmmmm... It is difficult to see if the problem persists, or its just the affected leaves that will not recover. Should I remove these "sick" leaves? - They seem to be happy abut the new light intensity as some of the problems is defiantly improving like the leaves are praying, and the sides of the leaves does not seem to bend as much. I have been very gentle with the feeding, after having done 3 flushes (15L at 5.8 ph) and have updated my feed schema above Day 75: I am sure that I had some light-stress, and it is over now, but I don't think I see a full recovery.... I think I see the leaves to get more yellow but it might just be as mentioned before, that the sick leaves won't recover but I do not know what to do from here. Should I just leave them, or do you growmies have any suggestions? The grow has, and is, very slow in my opinion but I still see progress UPDATE: I decided to doe some heavily defoliation. It might have been too much for the left one. I haven't done much defoliation, but they where so bushy, that I thought it was necessary to get light on all my buds. Also I wanted to get rid of those "sick" leaves. I think I am on the right track, and the symptoms I see are old problems now

I switch from fish mix to Sugar Royal from plagun but the plants suffered a lot from this and I donโ€™t know why,maybe the bottle that Iโ€™m using was old enough and didnโ€™t worked well.I flush the plant and then I use a little bio grow so itโ€™s becoming healthier

We are talking about and showing the second Northern Lights on harvest day, DAY 63, Week 09. Remember we have another plant that is going and we divide them by the other two weeks to distinguish them. This is a beautiful plant, it has resined in an excellent way, it did not seem super productive to me and it has typical Northern Lights leaves. The central flower is nice and plump and really full of resin. The lateral and secondary ones have a slightly airy consistency but that can happen, the other plant has bricks instead of flowers. I arrived a little late with the fertilizers and perhaps I can not make the plant discolor completely but the maturity is there. We look at the trichomes which are mixed, quite a bit amber, most cloudy and some transparent The Plagron gruel gave us a lot of strength and vigor now we were a little too dark with leaves so water --- The dehumidifier now works between 50% and 55% --- The 100% Organic pack from Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gron-easypack-natural .html // Strain Description // Born from the rib of a classic, Northern Lights Automatic is a weed from the past, but with a futuristic update.

Very easy to grow, excelent yield (could be better but because of the grower poor experience hehe). Makes you euphoric and very very relaxed. Is excelent for day and night use after a hard work timeoff.

It's week eight of flowering, and Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle has developed really nicely. The buds are relatively thick and firm, and the sweet aroma got me looking forward to the first taste test. Unfortunately, Lemon Cherry Gelato has not developed as well. The buds are not as thick and firm as I would like yet, but the smell is truly breathtaking.
