Week 7 there hasn’t been any changes for either of the girls. Girl #1 is still looking the same. It seems she has finally stopped stretching. Looking forward to seeing her bulk up in the coming weeks. Girl #2 still hasn’t showed any signs of flowering. I’m gonna continue to be patient with her in hopes of her just being a very late bloomer. Everything has been running smoothly. I will start to introduce bloom nutes in the next coming weeks. I didn’t expect girl#1 to get so big but I’m not complaining. This has been such a pleasing and educational experience. Thank all of those who have viewed my diary. Thank you again for your support.

Flower starting to form now for the fast buds the white widow is miles behind and so is the ww, first time in a new room & the mega pots has resulted in plants to big for my room the autopot ones look alot better tho get there eventually 😎soon hopefully the purple lemonade smells incredible.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

I saw a fly in the tent about 10 days ago. The larvae of these flies feed on the roots of the plant. I first watered it with diluted hydrogen peroxide. then i flushed. now the ladies are fine. 🤓🌱🤓👍👍

Overall very pleased. All the leaves are dark green and the plants are looking very happy. I’m giving them a couple more days before they are flipping into flower. All of them handle defoliation really well but Somango is a little to bushy to really do any organized Lst. I will try after Defoliation next week and give her a bit more surface area.

NYC Diesel Auto (Was Hey Abby) W12 F1 12/7-13 12/8 Since I flipped NYC Diesel to flower last week, I gave only ph 6.3 water ppm 194 temp 64.5. Her budsites are showing flowers now and pushing more hairs. I had to bend her over as she grew taller than the box. She looks like a porcupine with the spines running up her back. train her She is drinking a lot more, so I increased to 1.5 gallons on 12/10 & 13 Calmag 5ml/g Flower time 1.5 tsp/g 6.42ph, ppm 648, temp 64.2f You will see in the pics the main stalk has stems about an inch apart and the stems have bud sites 1/2 inch apart going up the stem. This multi stem and branching is not how I like my plants. It makes it very hard to trim. I defoliated again. I stripped the lower 25% off all the stems and I cut off all the under branches because the tent is too small for NYCD and the tomato. The under branches are shadowed and there is not enough light. The root ball must be huge, when I stick in the soil probe there is resistance and not many places where it inserts easily. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 6 (Early Flower) 🌱 Same Family, Completely Different Personality One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering just how differently they can express the very same genetics. Frosted Guava Pheno B continues to surprise me every single week. Sharing the same home, the same lighting, the same nutrition, the same environmental conditions, and the very same 12/12 From Seed journey as her sister, she's writing an entirely different story. Where Pheno A reached for the sky with a broader, more open structure, Pheno B has remained wonderfully compact, building a dense framework of strong branches and closely spaced internodes that give her an incredibly sturdy appearance. Standing at 99 cm, she isn't the tallest lady in the room. But every day she convinces me a little more that height isn't everything. Sometimes the smaller plants carry the biggest surprises. 🌸 Week 6 – Flowers Are Starting to Take Control This week marks the moment where flowering truly begins taking over. The vertical stretch has slowed considerably, allowing the plant to redirect her energy into building the dozens of flowering sites spread across her canopy. Every branch now carries clusters of bright white pistils, and what were small pre-flowers only a week ago are already beginning to form recognizable bud sites. There's a quiet confidence about this phenotype. She isn't growing wildly. She's growing with purpose. Each node feels productive, each branch contributes to the canopy, and the entire plant appears focused on one objective—building flowers. 🌿 Compact Structure with Huge Potential One characteristic continues standing out above everything else. Density. Her internodal spacing remains noticeably tighter than her sister's, creating a plant that feels full without becoming overcrowded. The careful Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has paid off beautifully, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy while preserving her naturally compact architecture. Strong lateral branching, thick stems and excellent airflow throughout the plant provide a solid framework for the weeks ahead. Looking at her today, it's easy to imagine each one of these flowering sites developing into chunky, well-supported colas. Sometimes compact plants end up being the ones that surprise you the most. 🌼 Early Flower Development Flower production has accelerated nicely this week. Fresh clusters of pistils continue appearing across every growing tip, while the first small stacks of calyxes are beginning to give each bud site more definition. Although it's still early in bloom, there's already a noticeable increase in flower density compared to last week. Every passing day adds a little more volume. A few more pistils. A little more structure. The transformation has clearly begun. The first hints of resin are also starting to appear on the surrounding sugar leaves, offering a small preview of what's still to come. 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional. The foliage displays a deep, healthy green, with leaves maintaining excellent posture throughout the entire canopy. There are no signs of stress, deficiencies, or nutrient imbalance. The stems continue thickening to support future flower weight, while new growth remains vigorous and beautifully uniform. She has developed into one of those plants that simply looks comfortable. Comfortable in her environment. Comfortable with her feeding. Comfortable doing exactly what nature designed her to do. 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, Pheno B continues her journey under traditional hand watering, allowing me to spend a little extra time with her during every irrigation. This week's feeding consists of: • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 It's been fascinating to compare both irrigation methods throughout this project. Despite one plant growing with AutoPot and the other by hand, both continue developing beautifully under the same Plagron feeding program. 🌡️ Environment Stable environmental conditions continue allowing each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent has allowed the subtle genetic differences between both Frosted Guava phenotypes to become the real story of this grow. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I expect flower production to accelerate significantly. Those small clusters of pistils should begin stacking together into clearly defined buds, while resin production gradually spreads across the sugar leaves and surrounding calyxes. What excites me most isn't her height. It's her structure. Her compact frame, tight internodal spacing, and impressive number of flowering sites give me the feeling that she could become one of those plants that quietly delivers an outstanding harvest without ever being the biggest in the room. Sometimes the plants that ask for the least attention end up giving you the biggest smile at harvest. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most fascinating plants in this entire 8×8 Adventure. Growing beside her sister under identical conditions has been a perfect reminder that genetics are never just about a strain name—they're about expression. Same family. Same environment. Same care. Yet a completely different personality. She has chosen to stay compact, sturdy and beautifully organized, and every week she becomes a little more convincing that this unique structure could translate into something very special when harvest day finally arrives. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for trusting me with these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future ofGrow for powering the garden with exceptional lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and encouragement continue to make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 6 - Maybe the last vegetative week. Everyone is topped and LST. I think I will let them grow in peace this week (Ill just fix the lst, no more toppings or cutting fan leaves) and install my scrog net

All palnats are well

This time I made the decision not to carve the main apex. The stretch of the plants is endless. I am getting 1.5 meter stakes next week. I recommend doing SCrOG for this variety !!!

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

I did not log all the weight, cuz my “wine cellar” run out of place , so a lot I just tossed in a big bucket for later hash. All the larf is not weighted, next grow i will do larf mitigation and proper lightning for each plant. For now I got a lot of larf, but I also see that some of my plants got great nugs even under low light exposure. Purple lemonade is less in big density In comparison to Tangie Matic. As well as not purple appeared, even though it is claimed to be genetically stable. Maybe wrong seeds ? Doubt it. But the lemon terps are present. Tent size 240x240

Wow what a beautiful monster she has become. I think (hope) she is done stretching. I have had to support most of the colas this week. A few had lain over towards other plants and if they were not blocking them then I left them lain over. The buds are really looking great and they are getting fatter on the daily. Thanks again for following me on my adventure with making my own seeds.

Can't get this plant really. Why it's already have so many yellow leafs? I choose to hate this genetics... I also have a lot of bonus seeds from this breeder and I'm going to check one or two on my next grow, but for now it sucks =(

2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol. I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water. 2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled. 2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields.. 2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base. I added 36 Gallons I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil 2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water, 2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.
