On day 1 I adjusted the PH of my reservoir from 6.3 to 6.1. On day 2 the PH was 6.0. On day 3 the buds are really bulking up :) and the reservoir is at 6.0. On day 4 I applied a BTI drench Ph of 6.0. This should be the final application for any remaining fungus gnats. The reservoir's PH is also 6.0. On day 5 I had to PH up my reservoir to 6.2. When I get to the last half of my reservoir the PH seems to dive down instead of up. On day 6 the reservoir PH is 6.3. On day 7 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir to 6.1 and did my final defoliation before harvest. I have one cola that may have gotten pollen somehow... I cant find any male pollen sacks anywhere on my plants so it's kind of a mystery at the moment. Only time will tell and all my other colas seem unaffected.

This week I’m letting them stretch through the trellis, I gave them a light defoliation in between the videos of day 11 and day 12 #RecycledSystem #PeyoteCookies #Cinderella99 #BlueGelato41 #GorillaZkittlez #BarneysFarm #HerbiesSeeds #FreeSeeds #GrowTent #MeizhiLED #Meizhi300 #CustomLED #UkGrown #TheUKGrowsToo #CannabisCommunity 🇬🇧

Week 2 - Chem Brulee (Pheno B) 🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining us for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars and phenotypes grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary so we can properly document individual development, compare expressions, and follow each plant’s unique journey from seed to harvest. Rather than combining multiple plants into a single diary, each phenotype gets its own spotlight. Even when seeds come from the same pack, nature often has different ideas, and watching those differences emerge is one of the most fascinating parts of the adventure. This entire run remains under a 12/12 light schedule from day one. The objective is not to create large vegetative plants but to explore genetic diversity, plant structure, vigor, flowering behavior, and overall performance from seed to harvest. Week 2 Overview Week 2 brought another excellent round of development throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Growth rates continue increasing as root systems establish themselves and plants begin transitioning from seedling behavior into active vegetative growth. Across the room, the response to both nutrition and environmental conditions has been very encouraging. Lighting intensity has now increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s across the canopy, giving the young plants additional energy while remaining perfectly suited for this stage of life. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Watering remained measured and consistent. Each plant received approximately 250 ml on Day 8 and another 250 ml on Day 11. Nutrition was increased gradually as the plants demonstrated they were ready for additional feeding. Week-ending values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire room continues responding positively, showing healthy coloration, strong growth rates, and excellent vigor. Chem Brulee Pheno B While her sister attracts attention with broad leaves and longer petioles, Chem Brulee Pheno B has quietly been building her own identity throughout Week 2. And she is doing it beautifully. Growth has been steady and healthy from start to finish, with excellent color, balanced structure, and a strong response to the increasing nutrition levels. One detail that immediately caught my attention this week was a subtle discoloration present on one of the earlier three-finger leaves. Nothing concerning. Nothing problematic. Simply one of those tiny genetic quirks that reminds us every plant writes its own story. The coloration is subtle, attractive, and unique enough to stand out when viewing the plant closely. Little details like this are exactly why phenotype documentation is so enjoyable. Development Notes Throughout the week, Chem Brulee Pheno B continued stacking new growth with impressive consistency. The plant now carries multiple healthy leaf sets and has already begun producing beautiful five-finger leaves despite her young age. Seeing five-finger leaves appear this early is always a satisfying milestone because it signals the plant is fully transitioning into active vegetative growth. Color remains vibrant across the entire plant. New growth appears healthy and vigorous, while older leaves maintain excellent condition with no signs of stress. Structure remains balanced and symmetrical, creating a very attractive young plant. While she may not be identical to her sister, she certainly isn’t trying to be. And that’s exactly what makes following multiple phenotypes so rewarding. Small Differences, Big Personality One thing becoming increasingly clear is that Chem Brulee Pheno B is developing her own personality. The subtle variation in leaf coloration, the slightly different structure, and the way she carries her growth all contribute to a phenotype that feels distinct despite sharing genetics with her sibling. This is often where the real fun begins. As plants mature, those small differences frequently become larger distinctions, making each phenotype easier to identify and appreciate. For now, everything points toward a healthy and promising young plant with plenty of potential ahead. Macro Photography Corner This week also provided an opportunity for a little creative photography. A few close-up macro shots captured water droplets resting on the leaves, reflecting the patterns of the LED lighting above. These tiny reflections create miniature worlds inside each droplet and offer a completely different perspective on the garden. It’s one of my favorite reminders that even the smallest details inside a grow room can become beautiful when viewed from the right angle. The reflections, the textures, the tiny imperfections, and the way light interacts with the plant all tell part of the story. Room Life The room continues operating smoothly as environmental control remains a major priority. Humidity levels are maintained with the help of the humidifier, allowing the young plants to develop comfortably while root systems continue expanding. The gradual increase in nutrient levels has been well received across the room, and growth rates continue trending upward. Mr. Baggy remains actively involved in daily operations. Current responsibilities include: • Plant inspections • Environmental monitoring • Photography supervision • Quality control assessments • Looking exceptionally important while doing very little His contract remains under review. Looking Ahead If development continues at the current pace, next week should bring: • Additional node formation • Larger five-finger leaves • Faster vegetative growth • Increased stem thickness • More obvious phenotype separation • Continued canopy expansion I’m especially interested to see whether the subtle leaf coloration characteristic remains visible as the plant matures or if it simply fades away as new growth takes over. Either outcome will be interesting to document. Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another excellent chapter for Chem Brulee Pheno B. Healthy growth. Beautiful color. Strong vigor. Early five-finger leaf development. And a few subtle traits that help distinguish her from her sibling. She may not be the loudest plant in the room, but she has a quiet charm that becomes more noticeable every time the camera comes out. Strong, healthy, and steadily building momentum. Exactly what we want to see at this stage. A huge thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing knowledge, and supporting the project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all the partners helping make this journey possible. And most importantly, thank you to the community. Your encouragement, ideas, conversations, and shared passion are what make documenting these projects so rewarding. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. 🌱💚Growers Love everyone.🌱💚

this should be the last week of vegetation. Flowering should be starting soon. Seems like no end to this drought we are suffering from in Southern Ontario.

After not growing for almost a decade, it’s absolutely nostalgic and somewhat of an emotional moment to finally finish a grow again. I never thought I’d ever be able to do it again, But it feels really good after all this time and I appreciate all you joined me on this journey. I’ll be back soon; very soon! Stay tuned :)

When it should start flowering?

Hy guys ! Hope you all are doing well ! I am very happy finishing this week 9. The ladies are doing their way. I don't know yet if there still remain 3 or 4 weeks, it will depend. I keep in mind that I will feed them with clear water the last 2 weeks but it is not the case yet. Let's check at the end of next week ( week 10)

This plant has doubled in size since the last update but is still considerably small considering it wont stretch for much longer as it's about to flower

🤤**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 5 Flowering Phase** 🌅 Yooo, what’s good? Zuppler here with that Week 5 flowering update, straight from the capital. We’re deep in the game now, and these girls are lookin' like straight-up champs. Buds are swellin’ up nice, and the resin’s startin' to drip like syrup on pancakes, ya feel me? The canopy’s thick, them colas just stackin' higher every day. That front-left queen I mentioned last week? She’s still flexin’, lookin’ even better than before. Buds on her are fattenin' up like she knows she’s the star of the show. Definitely a keeper, no doubt about it. Environment’s still locked in tight, no changes on my end. Lights are sittin' right where they need to be, and them girls are lovin’ every minute of it. Advanced Nutrients still doin’ the trick, and the RO water’s keepin' everything clean and mean. Ain’t no issues here – just lettin’ the magic happen. Trichs are startin’ to cloud up, and the smell? Bruh, it’s gettin’ loud in here, like a bass drop in the club. We’re just lettin’ them do their thing now, and it’s lookin' like we’re on track for some serious heat. That front-left queen, she’s gonna be somethin’ special when it’s all said and done. Zuppler out. Stay hard!

This week is exciting! I lowered the nutrients a little because I was pushing them a little hard, and wound up with a few little brown tips. Overall growth has been solid. Plants are 30.5 and 24 inches tall respectively. Buds are stacking and they are putting on weight.

💩Holy Crap Growmies We Are Back💩 Code Name FBT2307 Well growmies we are at 49 days in and everything is going much better , she's bounced back pretty good👍 👌 👉 Shes getting frosty now , and i hope she fills out 👌if she does gonna have some buds on a stick 💪 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

The end is near! She now has mostly cloudy trichomes, checking every other day for the amber count to go up. I do think it will be maybe a week until harvest, but again I’ll let her trichomes decide when she’s ready. Her leaves are definitely in the fade stages. I decided to let her dry out for 3 nearly 4 days, as you can see in the pics. She’s has gone very droopy, but I’m confident her watering will perk her up, she is on just ph’d water now, and will be until she is ready to harvest. Checking the buds, no issues she smells amazing, it’s almost candy like it’s so pungent. Lovely sweet strawberries and ripe banana scent. I’m hoping she finishes well, after having such a good grow. Hope you all have a marvellous grow week 💚🌱🤘🏼

8/28/2022 - 21 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The third week of vegetation of my Mandarina XL 🍊🍊🌻 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - I had to adjust the dosage, after the first dose of nutrients, the lower leaves of the plant lightened a bit, this was especially visible on her sister Orange Sherbet Auto, which burned the tips of the lower leaves - after this week I reduced the dose by half 🍃🍃 Hesi: Hesi Root Complex I give this root stimulator for root support, although Jungle Indabox also supports root growth, namely: Jungle Urban A - (N-P-K) - (2-1-6) Everything for healthy growth and formation of the root system Atami - ATA Calmag - I missed completely Advanced Nutrients - Bud Candy - I also adjusted the dosage by half 🍬🍬 Pre-flowering: This week the classic white hairs indicating the female gender appeared on the stem 👩‍🌾👧🏼 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 - really great lamp with sufficient lighting and energy-friendly 💡💡 Training: Topping: I usually top in the third week of the plant's life, just like this time. However, now the girls are very advanced in growth, so they will have more main branches 🌴🌴 LST: Two days after topping, I anchored the lowest branches to the ground with metal clips, tied the higher branches with a string towards the edges of the flower pot, so that the light would shine on each of them 💡💡 Defoliation: In the next two days, I cut off all the large leaves that were shading the branches 🌞🌞 The girl is no longer a child, she is a strong young lady, full of branches and leaves. Its color has also changed, it is now deep green again. The stem is coarse, so I assume a strong root system. Out of all 4 girls, 🌲🌴🌾 is the tallest Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

3/10/2019. Start of week 8 and the Tangerine Dream is fattening up it’s buds and kicking out more frost every day. Even though the NYC Diesel is exactly the same age as the Tangerine Dream it looks about a week behind in flower but it’s also a far bigger plant and will definitely take longer to flower out. Final defoliation was done to both girls. I willl update through the week as always . Happy growing everyone ✌️!!! 3/15/2019.. The tangerine dream is really beefing up her buds this week. The room smells like sweet orange candy mixed with skunk fuel from the nyc diesel. For sure this tangerine dream is gonna be a very frosty pheno. The nyc diesel is finally starting to really grow out it’s bud sights so really not much to report on her. Overall everything is looks perfect with both girls. 👍

Incredibile ma vero...ho trovato alcuni ragnetti rossi in una zona del palco. Dopo aver rimosso la parte "infetta",ho dato una passata di piretro(essendo solo alla seconda di fioritura,non dovrebbe creare peoblemi ma,per ogni evenienza,mi sono procurato dell'olio di neem) e per ora,sembra che i ragnetti rossi siano definitivamente deceduti,speriamo tutti. Cmq il mio bellissimo veleno cresce e ci sono un sacco di cime che si stanno riempiendo di peletti bianchi

Wow Gnome Autos, while I seem to not have grew the blue pheno, the response and multiple budsites just from lst is amazing. She's behind her colleagues in the tent but definitely the largest of them. Really excited about this strain and up and coming breeder. ✌️ ❤️ 🌳 P.s. Gnome autos if you see this hook a growmie up with an Anvil bean or 2, I can't find them anywhere 😅

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned! Growers Love to all, happy growing, and best of luck to all competitors! See you all in the next update!

Short and stacked with really tight Node Spacing. Packing on the frost already! I decided to go in and take some of the larger Fan leaves off being very selective in which and how many I take .
