DAY 49 FLOWERING: sorry about the video this week. Very long week and it is hot in the grow room now. My camera is not as good on my phone now so the quality suffers I think. Bare with me on this one. Lol Now the important bit , the plants..... All of the purple monkey look amazing now with their pinks and reds shimmering in the lights. They smell amazing now and all look so ready besides a flush of new pistils all over most of them. #3 is not at that stage and may be harvested any day now I think bitbthebother 2 need another week i feel to hit their best before ripening off. Tine will tell this week. They have been rock solid throughout this heatwave and even with very dry pots issues , have not skipped a beat. Certainly one to grow again. Banana mash are all looking slightly different in how they have dealt with the heat now. A lot of yellowing starting to happen on a couple and the other two have great trich build ups , very different from each other but all the same age ect.. They will need about 2 more weeks i think and expect a 10 week flowering period for them now. They are very sweet smelling now and their shaggy appearance and long spikes are very appealing. The younger crosses are now starting to swell up more too with the exotic? Looking like it will be a good finisher too. It is easy to see the mimosa Lemin genetics in both of them now but no clue in which exotic the ? Is yet.... With all that said , they are feeding g better now the temp has dropped a little and the end is close now growmies. Be safe and healthy

I’m excited to see what RQS have to offer with this little Gem! I’ve been waiting to try another of Royals Automatics, Fat Banana is a strain Im growing along side Gelato and Gorilla 😁 It’s been an eventful first few days.. (arnt they always!) she also poked her head up yesterday so Day 1 is 30/03/20. Let’s see how this week treats her, I plan to keep a close eye on the environmental conditions and to ensure she’s being fed some gentle nutrients, CalMag to begin with followed by some BioBizz Grow for the extra nitrogen needed at this delicate time 👌 See you all next week, I hope with more leaves to show 🌱✌️ Peace and love, stay safe

October 1 > Harvest morning. New trick... get up before dawn... cut your plant down and hang her upside down... then go back to bed. Hehe... I like this retirement stuff. We get smarter as we age. 😎 I did a fair job of plucking fan leaves before harvest morning so there wasn't that much work for me to do anyway on this girl compared to some of the other monsters she grew up with. Took me only about 90 minutes to complete my normal processing and washing. She developed into a wonderful purple color at the end there. The unique feature of this grow for me was that I never topped this girl. Subsequently she developed a huge single top cola that grew about a foot taller than the rest of the plant. Served as a demonstration of why we top plants in general. Hard for me to imagine what a bunch of these in the wild looks like but this is what WILD looks like. Diary note > I'll come back later and add weights and things. I threw in a weight of 100 grams as a marker to appease the gods. Total guess. ======================================================================== October 7 > Guess I underestimated my yield a tad... love when that happens. 😁 Ended up coming in at 212 grams buds and 181 grams trim. Woohoo. Another growing season officially comes to a close today. 👌✊ Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to use the Trimbag on this baby... because she was my last plant to harvest this year and I had plenty of time to hand trim her... and I harbored various possibly incorrect assumptions about the Trimbag originally which I have now shed. More on that later. Let me lay out my personal Trimbag history here as a learning experience for the community... ======================================================================== Originally I won this tool as part of my September 2018 diary winnings... and I looked at it strictly as a tool for fairly large scale growers.. of which I did not consider myself at that time. I grew an amazingingly oversized Durban Poison for a 5 gallon pot and I got lucky I thought. ... Then I took a look at how much herb I processed this summer and I said THANK YOU Trimbag! It saved me more than enough hours of hand trimming to demonstrate it’s usefulness. (October 12) >> Already slowing down in post-harvest mode hehe... so it looks like I did the same thing as last year diary-wise. Now I have another Trimbag on my hands but all I need is another magnet actually (hehe)... the zippers show no signs of sticking up at this point after me throwing about 2-3 pounds of herb threw the mill, and the overall bag has only lightly been used at this point IMHO. I'm a little surprised I lost that magnet and it's not a great sign for the longevity of the embroidery - so to speak, but other than that it's solid construction. And simple. I’ll be contacting Trimbag to see if I can acquire a new magnet and we’ll see how that goes. Back to my expectations... I only used this device on stuff I grew outdoors... of which I had enough... more than twice what I grew last summer - but that was by design. If I was to set out a general rule… I would say that I expect the weight of buds to be roughly equal to the weight of trim. This is AFTER I have thrown away any fan leaves plucked on the morning of harvest which are not saved as trim. I stop plucking when buds start to get ripped up if I don’t. Round 1 >> The first go was the early Amnesia 7 batch (Little Girl flowered early), and honestly, I was unimpressed. I looked at it as maybe I didn't let it dry long enough. I have a ritual of washing all my outdoor grown herb which has generally tended to cause things to dry a tad quicker than what one would expect in the field. I walked away from this initial experience like boy I hope I screwed that up and it works better on round 2. Round 2 >> Cream & Cheese CBD ... I think this girl did more to confuse me than anything else. The buds were not oversized but she seemed to take forever to dry. Part of this is probably attributable to excess humidity in the first few days - a weird week - we actually had some rain which is very unusual. But even after a week of drying I only managed 63g of shake on this batch (via the Trimbag). I'm going WTF? Ahem.... I ended up with 269 grams of buds for my Cream & Cheese. After that 63 g shake by bag I added 165 g trim by hand... and I was seriously wondering why this bag thang existed. Turns out C&C was not a good example.... so don't let the bad things weigh you down. Round 3 >> Next came Northern Lights - and my attitude changed completely. I harvested 319g buds, but the initial run with Trimbag generated 144g trim which I followed with 186g hand trim. NL had very dense buds and large internodal spacing which made trimming EZ. She was a monster… but at the same time I had her trimmed in under 4 hours. Of all the beasties I grew outdoors this summer, this was the largest yield for a single plant - but trimming her was a relative breeze, and it felt like it. I thought I hit the sweet spot for maybe how dry the herb needed to be for the product to work well… but probably only partially correct. Plant structure is significant. Round 4 >> Next came round 2 with Amnesia. As I noted in my diary I knew I was going to end up with a pound of herb on this particular strain so I tried to beat this particular batch up to minimize my hand trimming and see what the effect was. The end result of this was that I generated a smaller amount of buds from the larger sized pot (Little Girl was in a 10 gallon container and generated 235g buds/ 360g trim and Big Girl was in a 15 gallon container that generated 223g buds/ 493g trim). Round 5 >> Next came where we’re at in this here diary…Purple Berry Kush. Now originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to run this baby thru the mill. I THOUGHT that maybe because I hadn’t topped this girl and I didn’t put her in a pot bigger than 7 gallons which put her at a direct disadvantage vs my other outdoor girls that the yield would be substantially smaller, but I’ll be damned she ended up with 212g buds. Very satisfied there… and this stuff smells great when I let her get some air. The key here on trimming for this round was twofold. I let the buds dry longer than I normally would have by a few days… because I had nothing pushing me to make space for reason A… and because stuff was intervening for reason B… golf tournament… Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF (Robert Plant was awesome - we share the same birthday and he was 71 in August - I can only hope I’m still rockin’ that hard in 9 years)…you know - stuff. PBK ended up working out the best of all. 212g buds vs 181g trim. That’s the ONLY variant that ended up with more buds than trim. Part of that was how easy PBK was to maintain. I only did ONE major pruning of internal growth - probably later than I should have - I was trying hard to let her grow as wild as possible. But she was very easy to prune fan leaves off when that purple time came. It’s seems clear at this point that indica’s are easier to trim than sativa’s with a Trimbag…. but I’m not sure that’s going to be a revelation to anyone. As far as I’m concerned, anything that grows with an inter-nodal spacing that allows you to neatly separate your buds will work better with the Trimbag. DRY is a necessary ingredient for using this device. Probably drier than I am accustomed to… but that’s why somebody invented Boveda packs right? Anyway… I’m a VERY SATISFIED Trimbag customer at this point. It takes a little work to determine how dry your herb needs to be but even if you have to experiment, the number of hours you save from hand trimming will eventually make it worth your while… and as a newly minted senior citizen I can say that while my time might be free - anything that helps reduce pain - including time spent trimming - becomes quite significant. NOW —> The other side of this coin is that I will probably NOT use the Trimbag when I get back to indoor growing in early December… because I expect to be growing much smaller plants. Most of the things I’ve grown indoors top out at less than a couple ounces so it’s not clear to me that Trimbag is necessary with a yield that small… but I can test that theory later this winter. ================================================= hehe… I kinda promised myself “no more winter crops” after last summers bounty but I found that making edibles consumes a significant quantity of herb, and I really like my brownies. So now that I’ve stocked up to solve that problem, I plan to get back to some indoor growing (because growing is FUN)… mainly autoflowers. I actually have better control of temperature for things that I grow in winter as opposed to summer… but I have to add the heat to make that happen. That compares with the difficulty of adequate cooling if I run my lights during daytime in summer - even with night lights summer temps can be a problem with no AC. I don’t have AC in my house. It’s a function of California microclimates. If I lived 15 miles east of here - we’d BAKE with no AC (air conditioning). If it weren’t for coastal fog - this whole place would be a desert. With climate change - we’re heading that way even WITH the fog. We roll the dice here every winter and hope we get enough snow in the Sierra to hold off the firestorms that will come in the fall. We went thru a period of “drought” here in California a relatively short while back but even though we are officially out of our drought phase the fall firestorm intensity seems to be getting worse every year. But this is a clear sign I’ve consumed too much indica for one evening and I’m starting to lose track of.... just about everything. Anyhow… I think I’m about diaried out for this year. I have a pretty freaking serious vacation planned to celebrate my retirement for late next month… Las Vegas golf > Joshua Tree National Park camping > Palm Desert resort golf > Beach camping South Carlsbad > Torrey Pines golf > Laguna Beach > Pismo Beach camping > Monterey. It’s been about 30 years since I did anything this crazy (and that was a Grateful Dead tour in 1987 thru Arizona/Utah/California for my 30th birthday). Big difference this time around? Cannabis is LEGAL for the entire trip. I will be well stocked enough to sedate anything that gets near me. See y’all in December. 😎

This week I added a 4 inch duct on the lower left side right by the fan, so it pulls in fresh air from another room. Also, I made a bunch of 1 inch holes in my buckets, then lined them up with mold resisting drywall tape and finally I wrapped the buckets in shiny hvac tape, figured it would help with the light. I have 2 temperature and humidity probes, one by the canopy and the other one lower. I must say that I was pleased with the progress so far.

Week 21 (30-11 to ?????) 30-11 Today i harvested her! I removed all the fan leaves and left the buds on the branches to dry. 1-12 Temperature: 16°c to 19.5°c Humidity: 50% to 56% 2-12 Temperature: 14.7°c to 18.5°c Humidity: 54% to 57% 3-12 Temperature: 16.1°c to 18.9°c Humidity: 54% to 59% 4-12 Temperature: 15.5°c to 17.5°c Humidity: 57% to 62% 5-12 Temperature: 15.2°c to 17.7°c Humidity: 60% to 71% 6-12 Temperature: 16.5°c to 17.8°c Humidity: 60% to 66% 7-12 Temperature: 16.4°c to 17.9°c Humidity: 57% to 63% 8-12 Temperature: 16.6°c to 18.5°c Humidity: 56% to 60% 9-12 Temperature: 16.9°c to 19°c Humidity: 57% to 62% 10-12 Temperature: 17.4°c to 19.5°c Humidity: 60% to 64% 12-12 Temperature: 17.9°c to 20.1°c Humidity: 61% to 76% 14-12 The buds felt dry enough and ready to get their final trim before they go into the jar for curing! Trimjail it is! 16-12 Today i finished trimming everything. This is the end result: Dried bud: 116 grams. Dried trim: 23 grams. Thats over 1 gram per watt, and i am very happy with that!! In the curing jar they go! Let me know if you liked my diary and see you all in the next one!

One more week and this is the last one before switching to 12/12h, I decided to clean a few more sheets on 15th and I'm sure it will recover very quickly.. Happy growing! ✌️🌱🌿🍁

Coming close to the end now folks they were checked on 62 days old with microscope and a good few trichomes still looking very clear so will give them a few more days and check again and most importantly I will keep yea's all updated happy growing folks 😁

All done all done there we go bam First ever successful grow I’m psyched, can’t wait to do four more of this strain under a way better light and see how dense I can get those nugs Recommend any new grower looking to try out some auto flowers.

We continue the flush! I’ll give them 2ml/l canna flush on next watering Purple tones appeared on dos si dos 33 ! Trichomes started to turn amber and buds are more denses ! Harvest day is for soon !!

Day 47 lost half of yeild doing sts , Cut male branches too early

📅 D71 - 10/01 📜 New week. No res change ✍️ 1.5 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 90 cm 📅 D74 - 13/01 📜 Res change ✍️ 1.5 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 90 cm

Well the plant died on me during the flush period. So it started drying up. So I am harvesting her. She never was super healthy during the grow. I also had her in a cold room as she grew. So it was far from a perfect environment. Its frosty and looks potent. I will try another Jack Herer at some point. Thank you Spider Farmer, Athena, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

no se si sera normal pero se siente poco olor aun, esperemos que con el tiempo incremente su olorsh

Everything going well so far, plant is fairly compact, maybe not liking the breeze from the fan so much perhaps Good strong growth though, nice colours no signs of deficiency that I can tell

HARVEST WEEK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/20/2021 - Harvested Jelly Bananen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/21/2021 - Last watering of final flush. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/25/2021 - Harvested Glookies, American Pie #1, and American Pie #2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvest results coming soon!

hey guys and girls, NEW UPDATE!!! I have a new camera 😍Sony alpha 7ii...what a beauty ..the pics are cristal clear and the camera make things look bigger than they are 😅... just like this little plant here... she is only 9 centimeters tall and and the leaves are small ...the width of the leaves is 4 cm...looks like 15 cm on the pic😅.... these girls are freakin insane😱 . they grow short but have a lot of side branching and huuuge leaves for their age imo.... .... they'll get transplanted in a 4 litre container but i will not fill the pot up to its max...i'll go for 3 litres ( don't want to spend money for new pots) The grow: Smell :this strain reeks like hell man....the most smelliest strain so far slightly ...aaaand one of these girls smell a little bit like a banana peel...so i hope we found the holy grail of banana smelling weed here.... Ph: 5.8 liike allways Ec: 0.7 they are hungry and they need alot of magnesium guys ......so never forget ur calmag or add some bloom nutes over the whole cicle RHM: humidity is at 65 %.... perfect😎👍 next i will LST them a little bit ..... so have a nice one till next week

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 11 🦄 The Dark Little Unicorn Is Picking Up Speed ❄️🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 Well... I think we can officially say that Frosted Guava Pheno B has found her rhythm. And now? She's moving. Fast. 😂🦄🔥 She's still the dark green girl. She's still compact compared with some of the giants in this room. She's still beautifully frosty. She's still carrying those gorgeous developing flowers. But something has changed. She's progressing. She's evolving. She's building. And every time I look at her, I see another little step forward. Honestly... I'm really, really liking this genetics. I've heard some great things about Frosted Guava, and I'm starting to understand why. But I'm also trying very hard not to put expectations on her. Because expectations can be dangerous. 😂 We can hear wonderful things about a genetic. We can imagine what it might become. We can start creating a picture in our heads before the plant has even finished telling us her own story. And I don't want to do that. I want to watch THIS girl. This phenotype. This plant. This expression. And let her tell me where she's going. So far? She's telling me something I really like. Let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight. 🌿❄️👑 ──────────────────────── 🦄 ANOTHER GIRL IN FULL AUTO MODE ──────────────────────── It's becoming almost funny now. 😂 We're surrounded by different cultivars. Autos. Photoperiods. Different genetic lines. Different phenotypes. And we're running them all under the same 12/12-from-seed environment. Yet somehow... they're all starting to look like they're speaking the same language. The photoperiods are behaving like autos. The autos are behaving like photoperiods. And some of them? They're just doing whatever the hell they want. 😂🌿 Frosted Guava Pheno B is definitely in that last category. She's an autoflower. She's in a 12/12 room. And she's perfectly happy doing her thing. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's moving at a beautiful pace. At this point, I'm honestly less interested in the label... and much more interested in the expression. Because the plant is telling us what matters. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE DARK GREEN GIRL IS MOVING ──────────────────────── That deep green remains one of her signatures. It's one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. She's got that rich, dark foliage that gives her so much visual character. And now, with the flowers developing further, that contrast is becoming even more beautiful. Dark green leaves. Bright pistils. Developing flowers. Increasing frost. And a structure that's becoming more and more defined. She's not standing still. She's not waiting. She's moving. And that's what makes this week so satisfying. We're starting to see the plant transition from: "Beautiful flowering plant" to: "Okay... this girl is really building now." 🔥🌸❄️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE EVOLVING BEAUTIFULLY ──────────────────────── This is probably my favourite part of this week's update. The flowers. They're evolving beautifully. The structures are becoming more pronounced. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And the overall plant is starting to develop that heavier flowering appearance we've been waiting to see. She's not just creating little flowering points anymore. She's building actual structure. And she's doing it throughout the plant. That makes her particularly interesting to watch because she's still relatively compact... but she doesn't feel small. You look at the flowers... and there is presence. You look at the resin... and there is presence. You look at the structure... and there is presence. She's becoming one of those plants where the physical size doesn't tell the whole story. And I really like that. ──────────────────────── ❄️ FROSTED GUAVA IS LIVING UP TO HER NAME ──────────────────────── The frost continues to be one of the things that immediately catches my eye. ❄️💚 The flowers are developing more visual texture. The resin is becoming increasingly apparent. And when you get the camera close... well... there's another world. 😂📸 The little details start appearing. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower structures. Textures. Tiny areas of resin that you don't really appreciate from across the room. This is where photography becomes dangerous again. You start with one flower. Then another. Then you notice something else. Then you move closer. Then closer again. And suddenly you've been photographing one little section for twenty minutes. 😂 But that's what I love about this stage. The plant is giving us reasons to look closer. ──────────────────────── 🦄 THE UNICORN PERSONALITY REMAINS ──────────────────────── And yes... our little unicorn is still here. 😂🦄 The unusual floral character we've been watching hasn't disappeared. And because her sister has shown similar behaviour, that makes the comparison even more interesting. Two Frosted Guava phenotypes. Same room. Same overall environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same nutritional strategy. And both showing some similarities... while still being very different plants. That's exactly the kind of thing I love seeing in a phenotype project. Not identical. Not clones of each other. But enough shared characteristics to make you stop and wonder where genetics are influencing the expression. I'm not going to pretend we have all the answers. We don't. We're simply observing. And right now? What we're observing is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🚀 SHE'S MOVING FAST ──────────────────────── This is the biggest change I feel this week. She's moving. And she's moving quickly. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming more substantial. The plant is evolving. The overall flowering picture is becoming more advanced. And when I compare her with the previous photographs... the difference is there. She's progressing. She's not rushing toward some imaginary finish line. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And apparently... her rhythm has picked up. 😂🔥 That's exciting. Because we're still not at the end. Not even close. There's still plenty of development ahead. And if she's already moving like this now... I'm very curious about what the next chapters will look like. ──────────────────────── I'M REALLY LIKING THIS GENETICS ──────────────────────── I'll admit it. I'm really liking Frosted Guava. 😂💚 I've heard some great things about this genetics, and watching these two phenotypes develop has definitely made me understand why people get excited about genetics like this. But... I'm still keeping my expectations in check. That's important. Because there's a big difference between: "I've heard great things." and: "This specific plant is going to do exactly what I've heard." Every plant is different. Every environment is different. Every phenotype is different. And that's exactly why I'm documenting this particular girl instead of trying to compare her to somebody else's description. I'm watching her. I'm learning her. I'm photographing her. And I'm letting her tell me what she is. So far... I like the story she's writing. 🌿❄️ ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT GIRL. ──────────────────────── The lighting environment remains the same for everyone. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. After seeing that the initial output was more than we wanted for our target, we brought the fixtures down to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position. And once again... Frosted Guava Pheno B is receiving the same upgraded lighting environment as everybody else. Same photons. Same room. Same general ecosystem. Different response. That's what I love. We don't need to create a completely different world for every plant. We give them the same opportunity... and then watch what they do with it. This girl is clearly making use of hers. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE LIGHT. MORE CAPABILITY. NOT MORE POWER FOR THE SAKE OF IT. ──────────────────────── One thing I'm particularly happy about with the lighting upgrade is that we're not simply adding fixtures and then running everything at maximum power. That's not the goal. The additional Future of Grow fixtures give us more capability. More spread. More photons available across the room. More flexibility. And because we're running them around 59% from the plug, we're not asking the fixtures to operate at full output just because they can. That's a big part of why I really appreciate this upgrade. And Frosted Guava is getting to experience that expanded lighting environment right alongside the rest of the girls. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore what they can add to this experiment. 💚💡 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER ──────────────────────── The nutrition has also been increased slightly across the room. Our current flowering program is: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And again... Frosted Guava isn't receiving some secret special recipe. She's part of the same overall nutritional strategy as the rest of the room. The plants are being given the same general foundation. Then they decide what to do with it. And this girl? She's taking that foundation and building beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 – CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room is currently running around: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been slightly increased. And the plants continue responding in their own individual ways. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ENVIRONMENT. DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS. ──────────────────────── This is still the heart of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We provide the stage. The genetics write the performance. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is writing hers beautifully. Some plants in this room are moving faster. Some are moving slower. Some are taller. Some are shorter. Some are more compact. Some are more open. Some are extremely frosty. Some are focused on flower size. And then there are girls like this one... who somehow combine a little bit of everything. Compact. Dark. Frosty. Beautiful. And now... fast. 😂🦄🔥 That's a pretty interesting combination. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA LOVES THIS GIRL ──────────────────────── There is something about her structure that makes photography particularly enjoyable. The darker foliage creates a beautiful background for the developing flowers. The flowers themselves are becoming more defined. The frost catches the light. And the little peculiarities give each photograph something to discover. Wide shot? Beautiful plant. Closer shot? Beautiful flowers. Macro? Oh... there's the magic. 😂📸❄️ That's the fun of this project. The same plant can look completely different depending on how close you get. And Frosted Guava gives us plenty to explore. ──────────────────────── 🌸 STACKING, BULKING & BUILDING ──────────────────────── We're starting to see all three. 🌸 Stacking. The flower structures are becoming more developed throughout the plant. ⚖️ Bulking. The flowers are gaining more presence and weight. 🌿 Building. The overall structure is becoming increasingly defined. And that combination is exactly what I want to see at this stage. She's not finished. She's not supposed to be. But she's moving. And she's moving beautifully. That's enough. Actually... that's more than enough. ──────────────────────── 😂 SHE'S NOT WAITING FOR ANYBODY ──────────────────────── There's something really funny about watching her now. Earlier in the run, I could describe her as: "She's taking her time." Now? Not really. 😂 She's decided that she's ready to move. And she's doing it. The plant isn't asking for permission. She's not checking the calendar. She's not asking what her sister is doing. She's just growing. Building. Flowering. Stacking. And getting heavier. That's exactly how I want it. The plant knows what she's doing. Our job is to support the process. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── My questions for this girl are becoming increasingly interesting. 🌸 How much more will the flowers build? ❄️ How much further will the frost develop? ⚖️ How much more weight will she put on? 🦄 Will those unusual floral characteristics continue to develop? 🌿 How will her dark green foliage evolve as flowering progresses? And perhaps the biggest one: Where does this particular Frosted Guava phenotype decide to finish? I don't know. I'm not going to guess. I'm not going to put expectations on her. I'm simply going to keep watching. And honestly... that's much more fun. ──────────────────────── 💚 DON'T COMPARE HER TO THE PROMISE — WATCH THE PLANT ──────────────────────── This is something I've learned over the years. You can read descriptions. You can hear what other growers say. You can hear people rave about a particular genetics. And that's all interesting. But when the seed hits your own environment... the plant gets to tell you the truth. Not somebody else's expectation. Not somebody else's photograph. Not somebody else's phenotype. Yours. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us her own answer. She's beautiful. She's moving quickly. She's stacking. She's developing. She's frosty. She's dark. She's becoming heavy. And she's doing it in this particular room, under this particular environment. That's the story I care about. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE SPOTLIGHT BELONGS TO HER ──────────────────────── So... Week 11. Frosted Guava Pheno B. The dark green girl. The frosty girl. The little unicorn. The girl who is suddenly moving much faster. 😂🦄❄️ She's becoming more substantial. Her flowers are becoming more defined. Her structure is becoming more interesting. The resin continues to catch the eye. And the whole plant is simply looking beautiful. I don't need to invent a problem. I don't need to force a dramatic story. There isn't one. She's doing well. Really well. So let's just enjoy it. ──────────────────────── 🔮 LOOKING AHEAD ──────────────────────── There is still plenty of road ahead. And that's what makes this so exciting. We're not calling the finish line. We're not predicting the final outcome. We're simply watching the next chapter unfold. More flower development. More stacking. More weight. More resin. More colour. More photographs. And hopefully... more surprises from this little unicorn. 😂🦄 Whatever she decides to do next... I'm ready. ──────────────────────── ❄️ LET THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL SHINE ──────────────────────── Frosted Guava Pheno B has become one of those plants where I genuinely look forward to opening the tent. She's not the biggest girl in the room. She doesn't need to be. She's got character. She's got colour. She's got frost. She's got beautiful flower formation. And now... she's got momentum. She's moving fast. And I'm really enjoying watching it happen. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate what she's building. And let's leave the expectations at the door. Because this girl doesn't need a script. She's already writing her own. 🌿❄️🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful example of why the 8×8 Adventure has become such a fascinating journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these two fascinating phenotypes to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for powering the room and for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that allowed us to expand the lighting capability of this experiment. 💡💚 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 along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to stop and look at these girls. It genuinely means a lot. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's still doing exactly what she wants. She's dark. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's moving fast. She's evolving beautifully. And she's becoming a plant I'm increasingly curious about. I've heard great things about this genetics. But I'm not going to put those expectations on her. I'm going to let her show me who she is. And so far? I'm really liking what she's saying. 😂💚🦄 So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep giving her what she needs. And most importantly... let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. Frosted Guava Pheno B. Week 11. Same room. Same environment. Same upgraded lighting. Same nutritional strategy. Same grower. Different expression. And one beautiful little unicorn continuing to write her own story. ❄️🌿🦄💚 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚
