***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok, so bigger news this week, I got rid of one of the plants in the tent as it was an auto vs fast flower :/ and I performed a bunch of LST and some Defoliation to all the plants. This plant did not need a lot of defoliation if any at all. I just trimmed some of the lower nodes off as they would not get all that much light once it started to stretch and tied back some of its branches so it was a bit more even. The growth pattern on this plant vs the others in the tent this aorund is completely different. its so floppy and bendy, I have a feeling I am going to need to break a lot of branches come flower time to keep it from sky rocketing to the top of the tent. This will be the last week they are in Veg and switching to flower cycle next week with a 12/12 photoperiod. I was going to try a 13/11 but I wanted to test out the automatic light functions on the Medic Grows Minisun-2, So this will be relieved next week. Been having issues with PH in the medium again and some nutrient uptake. I am thinking I will switch to another brand I have to use up, trip tonic from my last grow on the balcony. Its a bit more complex and not as easy as mix into water and feed but I think its going to help me solve a lot of the issues I am getting. Given this update is a few days late some of these pics are not from today. the clones in the photos above are from the beginning of the week when I potted them up. They have not done well at all and may not make it. can only hope for the next few weeks they pull through. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

July 20: 31 inches with a 16 cola manifold 👍😎. Definitely growing fast and has now pulled ahead of the 16 cola Bruce Banner Fast which is at 30 inches. Hot again today so a bit more water and a couple of mistings with hose water to cool off a bit and provide some humidity. One tomato plant that I realized had a potassium deficiency responded well to a potassium silicate foliar spray. You can learn some cool stuff growing dope. July 24: still growing fast and maybe starting to pre-flower which is fine cuz I’m starting the force flowering in a few days. This is just 12 h of darkness to get this photoperiod to start flowering. Yes, it’s a photoperiod plant from Fast Buds. And it’s awesome. Did another lazy compost tea which is just 5 gallon pail of water that’s sat out overnight to degas, two handfuls of mature compost, some molasses, kelp and Humic Blend, and finally a couple handfuls of shredded coco coir to give the bacteria some where to attach and grow. Leave overnight, maybe stir a couple times, but that’s all. 24-48 h maximum as you don’t want it going anaerobic (and stinky). After tea, she and the other girls got a nice top dressing of barley and Power Bloom with minor amounts of oyster shells (for calcium) and Azomite for trace metals. These are bloom nutrients in anticipation of the start of flowering this weekend. This has been the hottest 90 day period ever here in Edmonton, and lots of other places too.

They grow a lot this week, we applied a nutrient called Delta 9 and it was amazing the way in wich they received it. We are thinking they are having a nitrogen deficiency because of the color of the leafes

HARVEST WEEK 112 DAYS 50 VEGGING 62 FLOWERING + 2 Days Dark Rest. This week has been a week of bringing out a great smell. I have done all I can, myths, about dark resting, drying the plant whole, roots and all has been done. I can see the resin glistening, hard to see on camera but it's there, they are hard and very sticky. Only 1 out of the 3 loss their complete rock hardness and that was the Purple Og Punch, in fairness the leaf to calyx ratio is high, so is expected, the other 2 have got softer since the dark rest, but a lot lot sticker, so, this must be normal, if someone was just coming in, they'd just say they rock hard but I mean they were that hard if you threw 1 at a wall you'd wanna be ducking or you might get knocked out🤣🤣, ok, maybe not that hard. But they are super sticky, so super hard nugs I can forego for the price of sticky buds. I'm expecting on the dry+cure they'll harden up as the density is there, and go back to the way they were, no doubt. She has been struggling to hold herself up right, so, I hung her with roots and all, gave her a good shake. I usually just put up a harvest but because Idk what the smoke will be like, I'm not going to put ☆ up as you can't change them, hopefully GD will fix this, but they got a whole site to look after and the system they got now works, so hopefully on the next upgrade, who knows. But I'll leave the mark and smoke report/dry weight all in the 1 day now, I'll just be adding my own harvest week. As many ppl do who wanna rate after they sample. She has many colas, a lot of unevenness, but for my 1st mainline, really, it's just a shit load of LST and a T shape, as a real mainline has exact or thereabouts the energy should be even, (every cola) But in saying that, I'm happy. Not sure about wet weight I don't bother with that anymore, as I don't have a hang weight scales and I'm not chopping my plants up 2 get one neither, so guesses will do, I usually put up 5x the dry weight as wet. Will update harvest week with all results in one blow so when it goes live ppl can see it for what it is and not miss out on smoke report as that doesn't get posted, the most important part, well, I think so. Thanks to my many sponsors for getting me here and started on my new projects. I won't go naming em all just the 1s for this who contributed to this diary. Marshydro led lights (best light I have in my arsenal, FC 3000) and Terra Power Nutrients, (hopefully I can try your nutrients out in water properly when I get temps under control), nothing but love. Top products and 2 great reps I dealt with. COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO Use code GGS at any marshydro site for a small discount.

Hi Growmies, The plant is really sturdy and actually started stretching a bit more than before, as I have lifted the lamp a bit higher. I will give her max two more weeks to stretch under the screen and then I will flip her . Her rootball is also stretching and is starting to fill the reservoir. So far everything is going to plan, let’s hope it stays that way. Thanks for passing by and see you guys next week.

April 26th - Day 76 : Oh my god! The smell wow! Everything just came blazing couldn't believe. They look good. I can tell the yield will be small but I don't really care to be honest. I'm so excited to see them babies grow healtly, i'm like a proud dad.

This was a very easy strain to grow and she took very well to LST. I thought she may have been stunted early on due to have to much power on the light but once it was dialed down and found where she liked it, she took off. I had no deficiencies along the way and she produced some pretty fat and dense buds. To me, she’s putting out a pretty potent earthy citrus smell and looking forward to getting her into curing jars in the next 7-10 days to really bring her smell out. Overall for growth and being able to harvest at around 70 days, I give this girl a 10 out of 10 and we’ll see about the smoke report in the next week or two.

Hay un par de ellas del centro con carencia de calcio, pero para la fecha que estamos nada preocupante, la semana que viene seguramente empiece lavando raíces para que lleguen bien limpias

Empieza el adiestramiento! Corte apical en el brote central y defoliacion general😋

Finally it's harvest time! I really can't wait for this strain to finish drying...it smells so delicious... Gave them only water with some clean fruits which is basicly humic acid for 10 days not because of some 'washing' just because i want to reuse some of the earth to keep some of the established beneficial bacteria and want it drained of most fertilizer Actually i don't believe in 'washing' ...i don't wash my garden tomatoes too...neither did i with my outdoor cannabis plants that grew in the ground and i found no evidence of any difference in harshness or taste Next week some update with final weight and of course a smoke report

Moin, Die Blütewoche 9 ist vorbei und wir befinden uns wahrscheinlich in der letzten Blütewoche. Vermutlich könnte die White Sweet Candy OG auch noch eine Woche mehr vertragen leider geht es aber terminlich und wegen der Z nicht anders. In der letzten Woche haben die Blüten nochmal deutlich an Masse zu genommen und die Trichome sind wirklich dicht and dicht gepackt. Wirklich eine wunderschöne Pflanze, sie hat einfach Bock zu wachsen und die Qualität an Blüten beeindruckt mich wirklich. Anfangs war ich noch etwas skeptisch was das Terpenprofil angeht, da es stark von einem würzigen Profil dominiert wurde, was mich wirklich sehr an eingelegte Gurken erinnert hat. Woche für Woche steigert sich der süße candy Geruch immer weiter und mittlerweile ist es wirklich eine schöne sehr süße Mischung aus Süßigkeiten und der eingelegten Würze. Wirklich interessant und für mich bisher ein Volltreffer. 🍃 Die oberen Blätter zeigen mittlerweile schon deutlich, dass es ihnen zu nah an der LED ist, leider kann ich daran auch nicht mehr viel ändern und auch hier zeigt sich dieser Strain von seiner sehr stabilen und robusten Art. Wirklich eine Grow Empfehlung an alle, sobald dieser Strain verfügbar ist.

Water week6/1

? 8×8 Adventure – Week 10 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B The Small Delight Continues to Surprise Us 💚🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And last but certainly not least... Here comes our second Blueberry Muffin. If you've been following both phenotypes, you already know that these two girls may share the same genetics, but they certainly didn't receive the same instruction manual. 😂 And this week, Pheno B continues to play the same card she's been playing since the beginning: "I'm small. I'm slow. But look how beautiful I am." And honestly... She has a point. Because compared with the rest of the room, this girl is slow as fuck. 😂 But she's also becoming an incredibly beautiful, compact and increasingly dense flowering plant. So let's give this little delight the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – The Small Delight Pheno B continues to be one of the most compact plants in the entire room. At approximately 75 cm, she isn't trying to compete with the taller girls. She's not racing toward the ceiling. She's not stretching dramatically. She's simply building. Slowly. Quietly. And beautifully. That's actually one of the most fascinating things about having so many different genetics growing together. Some plants seem determined to conquer the room. Others seem perfectly happy occupying their little corner and making the most of it. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B definitely belongs to the second group. She's small. She's compact. She's increasingly dense. And she's absolutely covered in developing flowers. So maybe... small isn't such a bad thing after all. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 Compact Doesn't Mean Unproductive This is something that's becoming increasingly obvious with her. Her size doesn't tell the whole story. She's not particularly tall, but she's building a very compact flowering structure. The branches are carrying numerous flowering sites, the flowers are becoming more defined, and the plant is gradually developing that dense appearance we've been watching for. She's basically concentrating everything into a smaller package. And I really like that. Because the purpose of this project was never to see which plant could become the tallest. It was to see what the different genetics would do when given the same opportunity. And Pheno B is showing us exactly what she wants to do. She's telling us: "I'm going to take my time." "I'm going to stay compact." "And I'm going to make it beautiful." Fair enough, girl. You do you. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Keep Developing The most important change isn't her height anyway. It's what's happening at the flowering sites. And those are looking fantastic. The flowers continue to gain structure and definition, with fresh pistils covering the developing buds and the individual sites becoming increasingly substantial. There's a very noticeable difference between looking at her now and looking back at the early flowering photographs. She's no longer simply starting flower. She's building it. And because she's so compact, the flowers appear packed throughout her structure. This is where that small size becomes particularly interesting. Instead of putting a huge amount of energy into vertical expansion, she's gradually turning that compact architecture into a flowering structure. She's still moving slowly compared with some of her sisters... But she's definitely moving. And that's what matters. ──────────────────────── 💡 The LED Canopy – Feeding Her With Photons This week I also want to give the lighting another proper spotlight, because across these individual diaries we're seeing something fascinating. The Future of Grow LEDs continue providing the main artificial sun over the room. And every day, millions upon millions of photons arrive at the canopy. Those photons are the starting point for the energy that drives photosynthesis. But what I particularly enjoy about this setup is that we're not thinking about the canopy as a completely flat surface. The plants have depth. They have upper leaves. Inner growth. Lower flowers. Different angles. Different orientations. Different distances from the light. And that's where the additional contribution from Lumiflora becomes particularly interesting. By bringing light into areas that naturally receive less direct illumination, we're trying to make better use of the three-dimensional structure of the plants. Not simply: "More light." But: "More useful light reaching more of the plant." And with a compact plant like Pheno B, that's particularly interesting. Her flowers are packed into a relatively small structure. So managing how photons interact with that structure becomes another part of the equation. ──────────────────────── ☀️ The Plant Doesn't Know What Brand the Light Is One thing I always find fascinating about lighting is that the plant doesn't care about the logo on the fixture. She cares about photons. Where they arrive. How many arrive. How consistently they arrive. And whether the rest of the environment allows her to actually use them. That's why lighting can't really be separated from everything else. Light interacts with: 🌡️ Temperature 💧 Water availability 🥥 Root-zone conditions 💨 CO₂ 🌿 Leaf health ⚗️ Nutrition 🌸 Developmental stage Everything is connected. And right now, we're giving Pheno B a strong and consistent artificial sun while maintaining the rest of the environment as steadily as possible. She's responding in her own way. Which, apparently, means: very slowly. 😂 But beautifully. ──────────────────────── ? Her Own Little Architecture If I had to describe this phenotype in one sentence, I'd probably say: She's becoming a little compact powerhouse. Not a huge plant. Not a dramatic plant. Not the plant that's going to win a height competition. But she's developing a very interesting architecture. The flowers are sitting close together. The branches are supporting a dense structure. The foliage remains lush. And the overall plant is becoming increasingly compact as flowering progresses. That's her personality. And I'm not trying to change it. This is one of the things I enjoy most about phenotype work. You can guide a plant. You can manage it. You can shape its environment. But eventually... the genetics introduce themselves. And Pheno B has introduced herself quite clearly. "I'm the small one." 😂?💚 ──────────────────────── 💧 Keeping the Roots and Irrigation Consistent While the plant above the substrate is taking her sweet time, the root environment continues receiving the same consistent attention. Current watering remains around: 💧 1.3 L per plant / 24 hours The solution is approximately: 🌡️ 25°C and the substrate is around: 🌡️ 26°C The idea remains exactly the same as throughout this project: Keep the root environment as consistent as possible and allow the plant to determine what she does with it. We're not increasing inputs simply because we think a plant should be growing faster. We're watching. We're measuring. We're responding. And with Pheno B, that patience is particularly important. Because if we tried to force her to behave like one of the faster phenotypes... we'd be fighting the very characteristic that makes her interesting. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Nutrition – Staying Steady The feeding strategy also remains stable. We're continuing with: • Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required Current readings are approximately: ⚗️ pH — 6.0 ⚡ EC — 2.0 mS/cm And once again... She looks happy. Beautiful green foliage. Healthy flowering development. No obvious reason to start changing everything simply because another week has passed. The best feeding strategy isn't necessarily the one that changes the most. Sometimes it's the one that gives the plant exactly what she's already responding well to. So for now... We stay the course. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Summer Is Still Summer The environmental conditions remain very close to our previous week. We're currently around: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 RH: 60% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C • 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.0 • ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h • ? Pot size: 15 L • 📏 Height: ~75 cm Summer continues to make absolute temperature consistency a little challenging. Some days are warmer. Some days are cooler. Sometimes we're fighting for that perfect number and the weather simply says: "No." 😂☀️ So we're doing what we can. The variables we can control are kept as stable as possible. And rather than obsessing over a single degree here or there, we're looking at the whole environment and, most importantly... the plant. And the plant looks good. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ Dense Is Beautiful – But We Still Watch the Canopy As Pheno B becomes more compact and increasingly dense, canopy management remains something we're keeping an eye on. The plant doesn't need dramatic intervention right now. The major structural work has already been done. At this stage, we're mostly observing how the flowers and foliage develop within that compact architecture. The more dense the flowers become, the more important it becomes to maintain good airflow through the room and around the plants. We're not trying to turn her into an empty skeleton. Quite the opposite. We're preserving that beautiful lush structure while making sure the environment around it remains manageable. It's a balance. And that's what we're watching. ──────────────────────── 💡 Every Flower Has a Different Relationship With the Light Another thing I love about photographing her at this stage is seeing how differently the flowers sit within the canopy. Some are facing directly toward the LEDs. Others are tucked between leaves. Some receive additional light from the inner-canopy setup. Others are naturally more shaded. That's normal. A plant isn't a perfectly engineered solar panel. It's a three-dimensional living structure. And our lighting strategy is simply trying to give that structure the best possible access to photons without unnecessarily disturbing the plant's natural architecture. Future of Grow provides the main light. Lumiflora helps bring additional illumination into the less-exposed areas. And then... the plant decides what to do with it. That's the part we can't program. And honestly? That's the fun part. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Is Starting to Tell the Story The photographs this week are another reminder that size really doesn't tell the whole story. Look at those flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the density. Look at the colour. This girl may be slow... but she certainly isn't boring. 😂? And that's why these individual diaries are so valuable. If we only photographed the entire room, Pheno B might disappear into the bigger picture. But when we isolate her... we can appreciate what she's actually doing. A compact flowering plant slowly becoming denser. Week after week. She's writing her own story. And I'm very happy to let her take her time. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Slow Doesn't Mean Behind This is probably my favourite observation this week. Pheno B is slow compared with the rest of the room. There's no question about it. Some of her sisters are moving much faster. But that doesn't mean she's behind. She's simply developing according to her own rhythm. There's a difference. A plant doesn't know that another phenotype next door is growing faster. She doesn't care. She has her own genetic programme. Her own structure. Her own timing. And our job is not to make every plant identical. It's to understand them. And this little Blueberry Muffin is teaching us patience. Lots of patience. 😂 ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, I'm keeping things simple. No unnecessary changes. No chasing height. No trying to force her to become something she's not. We're going to continue providing: 💡 Quality photons 💧 Consistent irrigation 🥥 Stable nutrition 🌡️ A controlled environment 🌬️ Good airflow ⏳ And plenty of time Then we'll see where she takes us. The flowers are continuing to develop. The plant remains beautifully green. Her structure is becoming increasingly compact and dense. And if she wants to take her time... well... we have time. ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Small, Slow & Beautiful Every room has those plants that immediately demand attention. The big ones. The fast ones. The dramatic ones. And then there are plants like Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. She quietly sits there. She doesn't stretch like crazy. She doesn't try to dominate the canopy. She doesn't rush. She simply keeps doing her thing. Slowly. Very slowly. 😂 But beautifully. She's becoming an increasingly compact flowering plant, and I really like the direction she's heading. The lighting is giving her plenty of photons. The irrigation remains consistent. The nutrition remains steady. The environment is being kept as stable as summer allows. And now... we let her continue. Because maybe the small delight doesn't need to become a giant. Maybe she just needs to become the best version of herself. And that's exactly what we're going to let her do. ?🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and discover just how different two phenotypes from the same cultivar can become. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this flowering journey. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the main LED lighting and giving these girls the photons they need to keep building. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper and less-exposed areas of the canopy and making this lighting experiment even more interesting. Thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. This project continues to remind me why I love documenting plants individually. Same genetics. Same room. Same general conditions. And yet... completely different personalities. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B may be the smallest and slowest girl in this particular race. But she's beautiful. She's becoming dense. She's developing flowers. And she's doing it her way. So let's give our little delight the spotlight. She deserves it. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚?🌸

Not much sun this week so things have been slow. I took 4x dos si dos cuttings and 4x mimosa cuttings for my next indoor grow as I figured it would be better to grow from a mature plant cuttings over seed started plants.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 08/11/2019 - Showing early flower development? 09/11/2019 - Gave her 0.500 ml plain water PH 6.5, she's starting to need more water and also due to 30c temps. She's also showing light green around the leafs maybe slight magnesium deficiency. 10/11/2019 - Yellow leafs showing up really fast so I 'flushed' the medium with 1l of 6.4 PH plain water, watered until some run off start to showing, change the watering plan again, now I only water when the pot feels light and dry at the bottom. 13/11/2019 - Pot was really light and dry at the bottom so I gave her 1.5l of water with 0,75ml of Grow, 1,5ml of Bloom and 0.75ml of Max BioBizz PH 6.5 until some runoff started to appear I think was too much again : also added a work-supplement led strip light. 14/11/2019 - Leaves looking pale raise the light to 45cm instead of the recommended by manufacture 25-40cm.

Hi gromies! Been away for a while but back at it again with some improvements to my set up. First of all bought a new tent (Homebox ambient 120×120×220) which has had a HUGE impact on controlling the plants' grow environment. Also bought a new blower (Primaklima whisperblower 800m³). This is really an overkill but it is really easy to keep the temperatures in control with it. In addition I got myself a Lunatek 315 CMH lamp for veg. A great improvement for my vegging. Been thinking about using my CMH lamp alongside with my two LEDs, but haven't had the balls to start messing around, until I have some more info in this area. I am just starting week 7 and now the ladies have started to gather some volume. It's looking really nice so far. My first time growing one single strain (gorilla zkittlez from Barney's farm)😄. It is really interesting to see different fenotypes in a single strain! Two of the plants are significantly lighter shade of green than the other three. I am hoping to see purple colouring in, at least, one of these plants as the grow proceeds. So far everything looks ok.

I know that it may seem like a lot of nutrients at first. It’s not. A lot of those mycorrhizae ingredients are mixed into my soil well before the germinated seed goes into the pot. I make my own mix of soil using some of those ingredients. I like to use the great white mykos because of its powders consistency. Makes it easy for a clean transport from germinated bean to its forever home. For watering, they have been given only plain RO water with a neutral ph. Just yesterday I gave them a little tiny mix of Medusa’s magic, Zeus juice, and Gaia mania. I have used Oregon’s only brand products for a while now and I absolutely love them and better yet, I understand them. They have responded super well already to their first drink of bottled nutes with a ph of 6.3 . I’m keeping a RH between 50 and 60%. I’m also keeping a temp during the day at around 78-81°f. Right now I’m not worried about a night time temp but I do run cooler lights for about 4 hrs every day, dropping to around 70-75°f. Eventually I will add my second light boosting me from 600w too 1200w. Also they will begin a 20-4 hr light cycle. I find these autos do amazing with a little rest for 4 hrs. Allows me to pull more resin and color in later stages of life by dropping the temp lower than usual with the lights off. So please if you will, stay tuned and I’ll have much more info and much better videos and pictures for you to all enjoy. Thanks for looking! ✌️🏻
