01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) 💚. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.🙏🏻 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B | Week 4 Finding Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to develop independently and reveal the subtle differences that make every seed a unique expression of its genetics. Week 4 has been another exciting chapter across the entire room. The explosive growth that began last week has continued, and every day the garden feels a little more alive. Canopies are becoming denser, branches are reaching outward with confidence, and the room is slowly transforming into the miniature forest I imagined when this project first began. One thing that couldn’t go unnoticed this week was the environmental reading. 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room has developed a strange obsession with the number three. 😄 Although temperatures climbed higher than I’d normally like, the relatively high humidity helped soften the impact, and the plants rewarded the stable environment by continuing to grow with impressive vigor. Sometimes nature reminds us that consistency is just as important as chasing perfect numbers. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed As the room continues to develop, another interesting difference is appearing naturally. The lighting itself hasn’t been increased significantly this week. Instead, some phenotypes are simply growing faster and moving closer to the fixtures. Those taller plants are now receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter individuals remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that no two phenotypes read the same instruction manual. Even under identical conditions, every plant follows its own pace. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The feeding program has also continued evolving alongside the plants. During the first weeks the nutrient solution stayed around pH 5.8, maximizing nutrient availability while young root systems became established inside the containers. Now those root systems have expanded considerably, allowing a slight shift in strategy. Throughout this week the solution gradually moved toward pH 6.1, while nutrient strength steadily increased, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No major adjustments. No sudden jumps. Simply a gentle increase in concentration to match the plants’ increasing appetite. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest improvements, and this week’s growth has been a great example of that philosophy. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also gives the roots access to a broader spectrum of nutrients available within the substrate, helping support the increasing demands of this new stage of growth. As always, the goal remains the same: Listen to the plants, not the feeding chart. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B This young lady has been quietly writing one of my favourite stories inside the tent. Unlike her sister, who seemed determined to impress from almost the very beginning, Pheno B decided to keep everyone guessing. Her first weeks were… let’s call them creative. The leaf structure wasn’t quite what I expected, growth was a little unusual, and every new set of leaves felt like another clue in a mystery I hadn’t solved yet. Fast forward to Week 4… The mystery is starting to make sense. She’s finding her own rhythm. Looking at her now, it’s hard not to appreciate just how much progress she’s made over the course of a single week. The unusual appearance that once caught my attention is fading into the background as healthy, vigorous new growth begins taking over the canopy. She’s still not trying to imitate her sister—and honestly, I hope she never does. Every phenotype deserves to express itself. The structure is becoming noticeably fuller, with side branches beginning to establish themselves beneath the canopy while the main stem continues building upward with confidence. Internodal spacing remains compact, creating a nicely stacked framework that should provide plenty of future flowering sites. One detail I particularly enjoy is the contrast between the older and newer growth. Fresh leaves emerge in a bright lime-green colour full of energy before gradually darkening as they mature, giving the plant a vibrant appearance that changes almost daily. Looking deeper into the canopy, more secondary shoots are beginning to appear than I expected only a week ago. She seems to be quietly building herself from the inside out, strengthening her framework before making any dramatic moves upward. There’s something very satisfying about watching a plant overcome an uncertain beginning. She may not possess the textbook symmetry of Pheno A, but she’s developing a character entirely her own. And sometimes, those are the phenotypes that end up becoming unforgettable. ⸻ Looking Ahead Week 5 should be another exciting milestone. With nutrient demand increasing, root development well established, and the first signs of flowering beginning to appear throughout the room, I’m expecting another noticeable leap in development. Over the coming week I’ll be watching closely for: • Stretch progression as flowering begins. • Continued branch development. • Response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared to her sister phenotype. • How her unique architecture evolves as the canopy continues to fill. The slow start now feels like a distant memory. This week wasn’t about catching up anymore. It was about proving that she has every intention of writing her own story. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every phenotype has its own personality. Watching those personalities emerge is one of the greatest joys of growing. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

We are just starting the bulking stage woot woot, over the next 2 weeks I should really see some plumping and shes already looking quite thick! not much to report this week again, just the stardard feeding daily. I did start using a bulking nute two days ago, well see if it helps! refreshed the co2 again and thats about it! cant wait to see her in a couple weeks

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402 13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats. 20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol. 27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound 📹 03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session 📹 12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video 📹 17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 → 60 ml 19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients. 20.10.25 VW26(?)

They grow amazing without any problems Day 38 I switch to bloom cycle 12/12 I defoilate her next week Day 39 she is preflowering such good strain I bet Buy new light guys philzon 2020 Pro led its lovely 😍

Week 2 of flower. Transitioned into flowering nutes of the General Organics GO Box line as second week starts. Stretching an inch to 2 inches a day right now.

This week was great once again everything is running smoothly and the plants are reacting well. Ztrawberries= all 4 plants have gone into flowering now with plants ranging from 130cm to 100cm stretch has slowed down now but the stretch of these girls is madness. Tropicana cookies = 1 girl is in flower the other girl not quite there, but not far behind and stretching nicely. There structure is very similar and size also. Cherry cola = 1 plant has come out side ways so is affecting the growth but still there is very steady growth. Both not quite in flowering but are trying and both girls are starting to stretch now so looking foward to see how they react in the coming week. All in all well happy 👍🏼 https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=Smkitup91

So, day 14 will start today at 5pm......the bigbud develops quick, the cherries seem to be a bit slower. The "Cripple" shown on one photo develops the slowest. Seems to me, that the cherries had a bit of a problem with light intensity, which surprised me. So I changed the lamp distance and since then they seem to like it better. Never used led light and am surprised about their power. Never had the problem with too much light intensity. So I will most definitely buy another and smaller lamp for the first week or 2. Operating at 25% was still too much for the cherries. Alternatively I could change light distance in this time. Plants are fed 2ml of root juice and biogrow per liter. From week 3 on I will increase it to 3ml. UPDATE DAY 19 Plants receive 3,5ml of biogrow per liter. They drink like alcoholics so now they get about 1litre of pure water and about 400ml of nutrition. I started LST as you can see. Temperature now sucks a bit, but it's hot outside but will change tomorrow fortunately this is no permanent problem. If I am lucky and nothing unplanned happens, like insects..... I will enjoy these probably. Plants also began to show gender and look female so far. In about a weak I will change nutrition for blooming UPDATE DAY 20 As the pervert that I am I watched this video over and over.........😂 well, the one I posted......What I thought I have seen was slight signs of over nutrition. Wouldnt wonder, because first 2 weeks (more or less) they did get just root juuice and I jumped from 2 to 3..5ml of grow....😁Ladies seemed thirsty but right now I guess, the color I thought was a sign of undernutrition is just the "normal" pheno from the cherries. Sry for my english. Day21 So I was able to apply a bit more lst since plants start to stretch a bit. The biggest plant in the back got bend down in order to avoid burning the top or having to adjust the lamp. I get more and more excited to see them develop! I also started taking of lower leaves that are not needed. Plants are super bushy and will have about one more week, before they enter blooming. The stems are pretty strong and sidebranches get bigger and stronger too. So far, everything alright. Plant height is about 25-45cm, estimated, but my eye is quite OK. And 1 or 2 cm more or less don't change the general fact that they are impressing me so far I actually just wanted to share a creative moment I had this morning..... I guess you all know Dean Martins "let it snow"..... Lol Oh the weather inside is right And the lamp is burning bright The trickomes brightly glow Let it grow, let it grow, Let it grow Man growth doesn't seem to stop And soon I'll reap my crop If lights are turned way down low I will sow, I will sow, I will sow When I finally taste the weed And enjoy the smoke so sweet I know the potency I have grown What a stone, what a stone, what a stone I really love these plants A true first sight, sweet romance And as long as I have room Let it bloom, let it bloom, let it bloom I don't care what judges think Just take care that it won't stink No noise, no talk no smell Keep it stealth, Babylon go to hell

Mrs Banner aka Bruce banner #3 aka the Triangle grow, is Budding away nicely. I've given her, her last feed of nutrients so she will be on just water now until harvest. I've been concerned shes a little on the small size but just as the name suggests she starting to "Hulk up." I'm hopefull of a harvest in about two weeks, but with a few grows under my belt, I know that 1) two weeks may turn into six 2) patience wins the grow game

The girl is starting to grow little better now and i hope she is picking up the pace. Added new videos.

Alright. 5th week just started. FIMming is done on the Purple Punch with Today, it looks so good and big. I think it is growing wider than taller, even her "hands" with the fan leaves are bigger than mine, and now it will be wider because of FIMming. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is also fine I started LST yesterday. I will continue the same way of fertilizing this week on Friday 2x, Saturday in the morning, Monday 2x, and Wednesday 2x. I raised up the water quantity so from today I will give 75ml per plant 2 times (Morning, Evening) so 150 ml per plant, altogether 300 ml. It also applies when I fertilize the plants, but the only difference is that the water is with bat guano and acacia honey mix. This Friday ( Day 32) I did not water them to not to be overwatered. I just sprinkle now for the night. This Sunday was fertilization day also, Saturday I did not water them. Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started flowering this week, pre flowers can be seen. When it is harvested, I will set the light schedule 12/12 for the Purple Punch to start flowering. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is autoflowering, the Purple Punch is feminized. What a mix yeah, but it is my first time growing. Tuesday update: Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is stretching rapidly, flowering time started. Purple Punch is growing also very well new shoots are coming. End of the week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 40cm, it started stretching so quick due to flowering. Purple Punch is 26cm.

End of week 7 in bloom (photos and videos are from day 49) and things are going well so far. I have some yellow leaves in the buds, that i have to remove tomorrow. I water every 4 days and i topped up the pots with soil yesterday. Colas are getting thick and fat and for sure are tall! Depending on their position in the tent, colas are from 35 to 70 cm in heght. In terms of quantity, i think i have about 80-90 big colas in the 2,2 square meters tent so it is possible to achieve an outstanding harvest! We will see!

Day 36 (Bettis). Just starting to flower. Doing some minor defoliation and supercropping. Very satisfied with her progress. Day 41. Continuing with minor defoliation and supercropping.

Crazy boost... This is fun! The genetics are really top-notch.

Found some leaves showing defiencies, but not a big problem so far. It looks like Mag. defiency. Ph outcome was 6.2 so the ph lockout is not what the problem was. Will see next week if more yellowing will come or not. Plants dont look like there is some serious problem with growing, so all cool.

We moved her to another grow tent because the other strains were harvested but now she has her own personal light and she's doing well in her new room ☺️ a little frost on the leaves started

Final week of Veg for my 2 Pinapple Express. These beautiful ladies have just started to show me their lady parts 😁 Everything going perfectly to plan thus far and FastBuds showing me the benefits of growing autoflowers. Lots of new growth appeared right before they start their stretch. I'd say theres over 30 bud sites on the biggest of the two plants and mabey 24 on the smaller one. Gives me plenty of space to spread them out under the net. After a week of stretching I'll be removing any growth that hasn't made it from under the net. Theres so much vegetation in the lower stalk area and i dont want any of that engery going to waste and making small popcorn buds. Feed wise they've suddenly become really thirsty. I was watering 6 litres every 3-4 days but this week they've urgently needed feeding after 48 hours. I'm going to keep a close eye and might even switch to everyday feed but slightly less at a time. Bloom nutrients from here on out. Check in mid week as I'll be updating pics as and when I get time or make any changes. Day 44 I've added a few extra photos of the full view in the tent. Canopy starting to fill out. These arent stretching too fast which I'm pretty happy about. Hopefully I'll be able to keep a nice even scrog.

Day 92 for this girl. Sorrie for the late update, had a little vacation. One thing about this girl is the heat is too much for he. A hps light with 30 degrees outside everyday gets tuff to bring it down. But she is going on well strong, wil be cutting her sycle short because no one wil be home this december. Next wil start the flush then hope she does well till then🔥 sofar, looking good by surviving the conditions
