So, into day 9 of 12/12 and the girls have responded quickly. Bud sites appearing everywhere. Top dressed with some more nutrients, have had daily manicuring, i prefer little and often rather than 1 massive blast. I have turned the lights up to 85%, and will work it to 100 over the next week or so.

Did not have any issues growing plant amazing outcome!!!!

Week 4 - This week, more plants are fertilized to 650 ppm.A survey found that one tree had abnormal leaves.

2 of the 5 coco plants are doing good but 3 others were looking awful and got behind. It was a bit unexpected. I've never had such unhealthy plants before. The peat side is doing good The runoff PH on some plants was 5.2. Adding way too much phophoric acid to get to 5.5 (Plagron recommendation) Well, fuck their recommendations. looking objectively, they are so dark green that the EC of 2 is probably also unnecessarily high. After a few waterings they are back to normal PH and EC, growing well again and getting back on track! Now I will not go above 1.5 or 1.6 anymore. === update I got some of those white crawling bugs. They came up after watering. I hit them with Gnatrol WDG and BAC vitality (as root drench) and they died. They only live in the air-pots. After the nuke I had to flush out the pots with 4 liters of nutrient solution because the PH came down to 5.

This was the plant that leaned more sativa, even though all three of em were very sativa. She has the smallest nugs, so we shall see how she comes down.But this was the mother to the second generation of otto strains.I've made two years ago. That plant was healthy enough to help me make approximately 10000 Otto. Hybrids, and I will slowly be testing them out later this year

Week 5 from sprout. Welp the girls are in there stretching phase and there's a few alternating nodes. And ive switched some things so I'll try to be thorough for any future people reading. First i took out the two house speakers the pants were sitting on and put them on the floor. Which put my lights back at about 25 inches from the canopy.... again... I have a cut up air mattress lining the bottom and side as a make shift tub to catch the runoff. Honestly dunno how ima drain or empty it yet but i have 2 inches of a closet to figure that out. I reluctantly switched to tap water today, my ppm of straight cold water was 255 so hopefully the chlorine evaporates and the water temp raises before i water them. On that subject, I've switched up their feeding. A combination of cal mag, grow, and bloom. About 1.5 ml per gal of all three. Will be feeding this until the flowering stretch stops in a week or so at which time I'll omit the grow and cal mag and feed bloom. Each plant gets 1.5 liters 2 times a day. (Unless im busy/ lazy). Will update ppm when i get things dialed in. Took a good amount of leaves outta necessity of space and light.... and kinda to purposely stress them out jus a little to slow their growth just a tad.. I'm keeping the same 20/4 light schedule. As of right now still have the one led light. Which is why i keep having to move the lights/ plants. So i get as close to the sweet spot of par as possible. They're definitely sativa dominant and 4 plants are 30 inches or more. The small one is about 20 inches. . Ps.... I had to write all this shit twice cause my phone died.

Preflower went pretty normal. She's a big lady. Week went as expected but I am pleasantly surprised at her size and rapid flowering on this pheno.

WEEK 18 Not much happened during the final week. Most of the trichomes turned milky, which was exactly what I was hoping for. PPFD: 1000µmol/m²/s Water: 2x plain water Vpd: 1,8Kpa

Was a good final week. All went really well. Tuned it down to match ripening. Lowered the timings to 11/13 on/off. And moved the plants to the side lowering their ppfd input to match the hight of 40cm ppfd. Was a super easy pheno to do from seed-harvest. Got a lovely pheno and delighted to have gotten a nice tasty example of what divine seeds is about. Liking them so much. I've committed making divine seed make up 30% of my current crop. Amounting to about 10-12 plants. Sadly none will make the competition but, I'm just glad I'll have a lot of weed i know more or less will be something I like

Esta semana, nuestras plantas empiezan a mostrar las primeras flores. Ya tenemos la sala con las cuatro luminarias funcionando al 75% de su potencia y las he separado un poco más, ya que veo que con led, el espacio internodal es muy reducido. Añadimos a la mezcla de fertilizantes CALMAG de BioBizz, que aportará un extra de calcio y magnesio. Regamos cada tres días aproximadamente, una vez con fertilizantes y otra vez con agua. Comenzamos a reducir la humedad relativa en la sala y desconectamos la calefacción en fase nocturna, para que empiecen a pasar un poco de frío.

Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green and I'm starting to see nice bud sites developing! I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine this week and think it should be fairly smooth sailing from here. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

ITTY-BITTY..! The strain Royal Dwarf from RQS lives up to its name! She's a genetic mixture of Skunk + Ruderalis And is looking to be a very powerful lil Autoflower. Short. At only 15 inches tall and yet growing 30 nuggets so far! She (Itty-Bitty) is one of the plants I've selected to enter into the 2024 Autoflower Cannibus Cup which is taking place in Las Angeles next year! Wish me luck you guys!!!

Folder 10 – Frosted Guava Auto B Week 4 | Vegetation – The Quiet Climber Welcome back to The 8×8 Adventure, a project where twelve unique cultivars are being grown side by side inside the same environment, allowing every genetic to express its own personality under identical conditions. Each plant is documented individually because no two phenotypes tell the same story. Even when they share the same genetics, subtle differences in structure, vigor and flowering behaviour make every diary unique. Frosted Guava Auto B is proving exactly that. Although she shares the tent with her sister, she has developed her own character. Slightly taller, equally healthy, and every bit as determined, she’s entering the next chapter of her life with confidence. Our 12/12-from-seed journey continues, and this week marks another exciting milestone as the first signs of flowering begin to appear. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 – A Compact Plant With Her Own Personality While Plant B has stretched just a little more than her sister, she remains a very compact autoflower compared to many of the other cultivars sharing this 8×8 room. Instead of investing her energy into vertical growth, she has focused on producing tight internodal spacing, sturdy branches and a surprisingly balanced structure. Looking around the room, it’s already clear that Frosted Guava is unlikely to become one of the tallest ladies of the garden—but height has never been the goal. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us with the biggest harvests. Her canopy is filling beautifully, each node producing healthy new growth that will soon become flowering sites. Every day she looks more organized, more symmetrical and more prepared for what comes next. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training, Natural Development Just like her sister, Plant B has only received gentle Low Stress Training throughout her early life. Rather than forcing the plant into shape, I’ve focused on carefully bending large fan leaves, tucking foliage away from developing shoots and allowing natural light penetration into the centre of the canopy. This subtle approach has encouraged multiple branches to grow evenly without creating unnecessary stress. The result is a plant that still looks completely natural while developing a much more open canopy. Sometimes patience is the best training technique. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Has Officially Begun This week brings one of my favourite moments of every grow. Tiny white pistils have started appearing throughout the upper nodes, confirming that Frosted Guava Auto B has officially entered the pre-flowering stage. One of the most fascinating aspects of this 12/12-from-seed experiment is watching these autoflowers transition into bloom without hesitation. Rather than waiting for a long vegetative period, they simply follow their own internal clock. Despite her compact size, she’s wasting no time. The foundation has been built, and now the real show is about to begin. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be watching closely to see whether she delivers a modest stretch or stays true to her compact structure while focusing her energy on dense flower production. Either way, she’s looking incredibly promising. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues to provide a stable environment for all twelve cultivars despite the warmer summer temperatures. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ? Substrate Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 26°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.1 • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • ☁️ CO₂: 639 ppm • 💧 Water Consumption: 1.1 litres per plant per day Even with daytime temperatures reaching 33°C, Plant B continues showing excellent colour, strong leaf posture and vigorous growth, demonstrating how well she’s adapting to the environment. ⸻ Feeding Schedule This week’s feeding remained simple and consistent, allowing the plant to continue building healthy vegetative growth before fully committing to flowering. Per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml • Power Roots — 1 ml • Pure Zym — 1 ml • Sugar Royal — 1 ml Adjusted using: • pH Plus — 0.03 ml • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml The Plagron feeding programme continues delivering exactly what these plants need at this stage—healthy roots, lush green foliage and vigorous, stress-free development. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The entire 8×8 garden continues to thrive beneath the outstanding Future of Grow LED fixtures. Uniform light distribution across the canopy has helped every cultivar develop evenly, while allowing each phenotype to express its own natural growth pattern. It’s fascinating walking through the room and seeing twelve completely different personalities growing under exactly the same environmental conditions. Frosted Guava Auto B is a perfect example of how genetics shape the plant just as much as the environment. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead Week four closes with Plant B looking healthy, balanced and full of potential. She’s entering flower with strong branching, vibrant foliage and a structure that promises excellent light penetration throughout the canopy. While some cultivars in the room are already showing more vertical ambition, Frosted Guava B seems determined to stay compact and focus her energy where it matters most. The coming weeks will reveal whether this translates into dense, resin-packed flowers—but for now, she’s ticking every box. The journey is only getting started. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following The 8×8 Adventure. Sharing this project with growers from around the world is one of the most rewarding parts of the journey, and I truly appreciate every comment, question and piece of advice along the way. A special thank you to Zamnesia for providing these exciting Frosted Guava Auto genetics, to Plagron for the trusted substrates and nutrient line that continue supporting healthy, vigorous growth, and to Future of Grow LED for delivering exceptional lighting that allows every phenotype in this room to perform at its very best. Finally, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving this amazing community a place to learn, share experiences and celebrate our passion for growing together. See you all next week, when Frosted Guava Auto B takes another step into flowering. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

bottom watering has been working perfect so far I top water once with the tea I made everytime the bottom Watering pot is dry

Looking good hopefully all will be showing signs of flowering at the end of this week. I'll update a few more times this week.

Almost ready for the chop

Week 3 of flower I found a hermie, not sure wether it’s pollinated all of them but it definitely got one in the back, treated it only time will tell no obvious pollination signs
