Obvious indicas starting to bulk. sativas still stretching.. Started upping additives for resin and terpene production. Not sure if it's worth it on unknown strains, but giving it a go anyway.. I know what these seeds produce in soil, so should be able to compare end product.. Getting problems in the kratky..Changed over to using vitaponix (bought a sample pack) - and am getting what looks like root rot.. Ai is now telling me it could be a good time to lower my Canna a to 2.5mlpl and keep b at 4mlpl. to lower nitrogen intake. give that a go next week. Have combined week 4&5 pics.

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ช BIG MAMA Is Still BIG MAMA โ€” Heavy, Beautiful & Getting LOUD! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š GUESS WHAT?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA! And when I say BIG MAMA... I mean BIG. I mean HEAVY. I mean this girl is getting to the point where the yo-yos are becoming part of the family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ Seriously, look at this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's carrying some serious weight. And she's demanding support like she owns the entire tent. Actually... she might have a point. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ This is no longer a situation where we simply look at her and admire the flowers. We look at her, admire the flowers, check the branches, check the support, and ask ourselves: "Okay, Big Mama... what else needs a yo-yo today?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ But honestly, I absolutely love seeing her like this. She's a substantial plant, with beautiful flowers and a presence that's impossible to ignore. And the aroma? Oh, Mama... You're doing very well in that department too! She's not quite as aggressively loud as her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, our famously unhappy girl who seems determined to announce her presence to the entire neighbourhood. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama has that same wonderful aromatic character. That same kind of appeal. That same beautiful profile. Just with a little less volume turned up to eleven. For now, anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ So this week, we're giving Big Mama her own spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Let's get into it! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ WEEK 14 โ€” BIG MAMA MEANS BUSINESS If you've been following this diary, you already know this girl. She's not exactly the kind of plant that quietly disappears into the background. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. And now she's got weight. A LOT of weight. She's continuing to develop, and as she progresses, supporting her has become an important part of keeping those heavy branches where they need to be. The yo-yos are doing their job. The support is doing its job. And we're doing ours by keeping an eye on the plant and making sure she has the support she needs. At this stage, we're not trying to reinvent her structure. We're not trying to force her into a different shape. We're simply helping her carry what she's built. And what she's built is pretty damn impressive. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has earned her name. No arguments. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ช HEAVY MAMA NEEDS HER YO-YOS! Let's talk about the obvious. This girl is heavy! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The flowers have developed to the point where the branches need plenty of support. And when I say plenty... I mean we're using yo-yos, checking the structure, and making sure the plant is supported properly. Because a plant can look beautiful in photographs, but when you're standing in front of her, you also have to deal with the physical reality of that structure. Branches carry weight. Flowers add weight. And as the plant develops, the support system becomes part of keeping everything stable. Big Mama is giving us a very practical reminder of that. She's not asking us to do some elaborate training routine. She's asking us to help support the plant she has become. And that's exactly what we're doing. No unnecessary drama. No trying to turn her into something she's not. Just supporting the structure, observing how she's carrying herself, and making adjustments when needed. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. Sometimes it's about making sure the work the plant has already done doesn't become a problem. And Big Mama has certainly done plenty of work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ NOT JUST BIG โ€” BEAUTIFULLY DEVELOPED Size is one thing. But what I really want to appreciate here is the overall plant. Big Mama isn't simply occupying space. She's developed her own structure, her own flower formation, and her own expression of these Godfather OG genetics. And that's what makes her interesting. We've followed her through the earlier stages. We've watched her grow. We've watched her fill her space. We've watched the flowers develop. And now we're looking at a substantial plant that needs a substantial amount of support. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's not the same plant we were looking at weeks ago. That's the whole point of documenting the journey. The photographs give us the visual timeline. The weekly updates give us the context. And when we put them together, we can appreciate the progression rather than judging the plant from one isolated moment. Big Mama has continued to evolve. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's looking beautiful. And she's approaching the later part of her journey in her own way. Let's give her credit for that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ AND THAT AROMA... MAMA KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING! Okay. Let's get to one of my favourite subjects. The smell! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ Big Mama is smelling amazing. And I really mean that. Her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, has been particularly aggressive with her aroma. That girl has been making herself known from a different postcode. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama? She's giving us something very similar in character, with a little less intensity at the moment. And I love that comparison. Because we're not talking about two completely unrelated plants. We're looking at two individual Godfather OG phenotypes growing in the same room. And we're noticing similarities in their aromatic character, alongside differences in how strongly they express it. Pheno A is louder. Pheno B is a little more reserved. But Big Mama is absolutely holding her own. Her aroma is beautiful. Her presence is there. And she's giving us another reason to be curious about what the finished result will be like after harvest, drying, and curing. Of course, the aroma can change throughout those stages. What we're smelling now is part of the story, not the final verdict. We'll wait until the journey is complete before making any final claims about her cured profile. But right now? I'm very happy with what she's giving us. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ TWO SISTERS โ€” SIMILAR CHARACTER, DIFFERENT VOLUME This is one of the most interesting comparisons in the Godfather OG diaries. Godfather OG Pheno A and Godfather OG Pheno B. Two individual plants. Shared room. Shared general environment. Shared lighting ecosystem. Shared nutritional philosophy. And yet, each has her own personality. Pheno A has been our famously unhappy girl. She's had her difficulties, but she's also become incredibly aromatic. Pheno B, our Big Mama, has her own challenges and characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She needs plenty of support. And she's giving us an aroma that reminds me of her sister, even if she isn't quite as loud right now. That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. We can notice the similarities without pretending they're identical. We can appreciate the differences without automatically deciding one is better than the other. And we can remain curious about how those differences might develop through the rest of the journey. Same family. Different expressions. Two very interesting girls. And I'm looking forward to finding out how their final stories compare. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ OUR JOB RIGHT NOW? SUPPORT, OBSERVE & LET HER FINISH This week, there's no dramatic new intervention to report. We're not trying to keep ourselves busy just for the sake of doing something. Big Mama has already built her structure. She's already developed her flowers. And she's already carrying a considerable amount of weight. So our focus is straightforward. Observe her. Maintain the shared environment. Provide the support she needs. Keep an eye on her overall development. And let her continue toward the finish. The yo-yos are doing their part. We're doing ours. And Big Mama is doing hers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ I genuinely enjoy this stage because it reminds me that being a grower isn't always about actively changing something. Sometimes it's about recognizing what the plant needs from you at that particular moment. Earlier in the cycle, our attention may have been on structure and development. Now, with Big Mama carrying so much weight, support and observation are a big part of the picture. We don't need to interfere unnecessarily. We need to pay attention. And when the plant needs us, we respond. Simple. Practical. And very much part of growing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ROOM โ€” TWELVE INDIVIDUAL STORIES For anyone discovering the 8ร—8 Adventure for the first time, here's the idea behind the project. We're following twelve individual plants and phenotypes sharing one room. They share the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation approach, and nutritional programme. But they don't all develop in the same way. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some develop different flower structures. Some move faster. Some take their time. Some need more physical support than others. And some make their presence known through their aroma. Big Mama is giving us a combination of several of those characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's aromatic. And she needs plenty of support to carry the structure she's developed. That's her story. And it's different from her sister's story, even though they share the same genetic name. This is why we keep individual diaries. If we only documented the tent as a whole, we'd miss so much of what makes each plant interesting. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. One shared adventure. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES Our upgraded lighting setup remains part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment included in the setup. We've been operating the upgraded setup at approximately 59% power from the plug, with our previous upper-canopy reference around 1,500 PPFD. Actual light intensity varies throughout the canopy depending on plant height, position, and distance from the fixtures. And that's important when we're looking at a plant like Big Mama. She's a substantial, three-dimensional plant, not a flat surface. Different parts of her structure sit at different heights and receive different amounts of light. The goal of this project is to observe how the different plants develop under the shared lighting environment, rather than assuming they'll all respond identically. Big Mama is giving us her own answer. She's developed a substantial structure, she's carrying plenty of weight, and she's moving through the later part of her journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this upgraded setup across twelve different phenotypes. More lighting capability, controlled output, and plenty of interesting differences to observe. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” KEEPING THE SCIENCE HONEST As with the other reports this week, let's also talk about our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. We're documenting this as part of the lighting routine used in the room. Plants respond to the spectrum and timing of light through several photoreceptor systems. One important example is the phytochrome system, which responds to red and far-red wavelengths and helps plants interpret their light environment. Those signals can influence plant development, but the response depends on the spectrum, intensity, timing, duration, and the plant's physiological state. That's why we need to be careful about making claims. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is an experimental part of our routine. We're not claiming it automatically increases yield, makes flowers denser, or guarantees a better finish. Those outcomes would require proper comparisons and measurements. We're documenting what we're doing, discussing the relevant science, and remaining open to what the evidence tells us. That's the approach I prefer. No magic promises. No pretending we know something we haven't measured. Just curiosity, observation, and honest documentation. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” WHY WAVELENGTHS MATTER While we're talking about light, it's worth revisiting the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect is an established phenomenon in photosynthesis in which combining certain red and far-red wavelengths can produce a greater-than-expected photosynthetic response under the relevant experimental conditions. This involves the cooperation of two major photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both are essential components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Their light-absorption characteristics differ, and supplying suitable wavelengths together can improve the balance between their activity under certain conditions. That's the fascinating science behind the phenomenon. However, the Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment automatically produces the same response. Red and far-red light are not interchangeable, and the results depend on the specific wavelengths, their intensity, and the conditions of exposure. So while it's interesting to discuss the Emerson effect alongside our lighting experiments, we shouldn't automatically assume that our additional 15-minute red-light period reproduces it or provides a measurable benefit. To establish that, we'd need suitable spectral information and controlled comparisons. The science is real. The potential interactions are fascinating. But the outcome of our particular routine still needs evidence. And I think it's much more valuable to explain that honestly than to promise results we haven't demonstrated. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” CONSISTENCY WHILE WE OBSERVE The previous nutritional reference for the room was: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous solution readings were approximately pH 6.04 and EC 2.05 mS/cm. These are the last recorded room reference values, rather than a claim that every measurement was repeated this week. We're keeping the overall approach consistent while observing the plants' individual progress. For Big Mama, the physical side of the story is becoming particularly noticeable. She's heavy. She's carrying substantial flowers. And she's asking for plenty of structural support. That's where our attention is going right now: observing her development, supporting the plant where necessary, and allowing her to continue through the final part of her journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The previous shared room reference readings remain: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series, upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L Same general room. Same shared environmental strategy. Same lighting ecosystem. But a very individual expression from Big Mama. She's heavy, she's beautiful, and she's becoming increasingly interesting as we approach the end of the journey. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ BIG MAMA DESERVES HER PORTRAITS One of the things I love about these individual diaries is being able to look back through the photographs and follow the progression. The early structure. The development. The flowers. The changes. And now, the substantial plant we're looking at today. Big Mama has a presence that's difficult to miss. And as she gets heavier, the support system becomes another part of her visual story. Those yo-yos aren't there for decoration. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช They're helping support the structure she's developed. I want to document that part of the journey too, because growing isn't only about showing beautiful flowers. It's also about showing what it takes to keep a plant supported and stable as it develops. The photographs preserve those details. The weekly reports explain what we're seeing. And together, they give us a much more complete picture of the plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE WITH HER SISTER I know I've mentioned her sister's aroma several times, but I want to make one thing clear. This isn't a competition where one phenotype has to defeat the other. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Pheno A has her own personality. She's had a difficult journey, and she's been incredibly expressive aromatically. Pheno B has her own personality too. She's substantial, heavy, beautiful, and giving us a very appealing aroma of her own. She may not be quite as loud at the moment, but that doesn't make her less interesting. They're individual plants. They can share similarities without being identical. And we can appreciate both without needing to declare a winner before the journey is complete. I'm enjoying the comparison. I'm enjoying the differences. And I'm especially looking forward to seeing how their individual stories continue through harvest, drying, and curing. Because that's where we'll get another opportunity to understand what makes each phenotype special. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

She's still BIG MAMA. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's demanding yo-yos and support. And she's smelling absolutely amazing. Her sister might currently be the louder one, but Big Mama has a similar aromatic character that I genuinely love. Different volume. Similar appeal. Two individual phenotypes with their own expressions. And I can't wait to see how their stories unfold from here. This week, we're not trying to do anything dramatic. We're supporting the plant. We're observing. We're maintaining the shared environment. And we're letting her continue toward the finish. Sometimes that's exactly what a plant needs from us. Not more interference. Not a new project. Just a grower paying attention and providing the support required. And Big Mama certainly needs that support now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's done the hard work of building herself. Now we're helping her carry it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate her size. Let's appreciate her flowers. Let's appreciate that beautiful aroma. Let's appreciate the individuality of this phenotype. And let's remember that the 8ร—8 Adventure isn't about making twelve plants look the same. It's about discovering what makes each one different. Big Mama has given us plenty to appreciate. And she's not finished telling her story yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing your thing.

Video 2: 7 days (36~42) TimeLapse, 1 image each 60 secs @ 30 fps (I think there's a missing day in the middle, GoPro things...) Photo 5: Nutrients Used this Week -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I must apologize myself for the lack of pictures this week. I raised a bit the amount of water this week, anyway as you can see at the end of the timelapse video the babies are drinking much more now, and I'm not using enough water. Starting from the next week i will water in shorter periods alternating nutrients and additives. I finally decided to switch to flowering the first day of the next week, i want to see what size of colas they can generate from this size of plant. I don't wan't to try to create monsters at time, and i think my pots are small for too big plants i think. With this growing i'm just introducing myself to growing techniques and to indoor photoperiod strains. The day 1 i switched the lights to flowering mode, and as i said the day 5 (1rst 7th week day) i will switch to 12/12. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 29/03/19 - 1.000 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.9 E.C.

A pesar de haber incrementado un pelรญn la cantidad de agua con respecto a la semana anterior, en el final del video timelapse se hace evidente como ya empiezan a beber bastante mรกs agua y lo que les vengo echando ya no es suficiente, a partir de la semana que viene regarรฉ cada menos dรญas alternando nutrientes y aditivos. He decidido que esta va a ser la รบltima semana de crecimiento, quiero ver que tal se forman la colas con este tamaรฑo de planta, hay que tener en cuenta que las tengo en tiestos pequeรฑos/medios y tampoco es mi intenciรณn crear monstruos por el momento.

Hello growers and tokers! ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’จ There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more light penetration. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there wasn't much change Some new growth..the colas are stacking nicely which is good. Hope they stretch some more still.. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

TThis week I decided to move from my small ass bedroom and pre fab me a area in my nice ass basement with great element and ceiling. I'll have a couple little videos. Still not done revamping that spot. But I'm hanging 3 mars hydro I just ordered from my beautiful rafters. Lay some mylar and a platform of a sort. Use some reflective tarp to outline my space. Switch out the basement lighting with 3 green led lightbulbs. 24/7 access to obsession. You're welcome. Still got the 4x4 pulled up there so everything is accessible. check in later

Gelato x GMO is taking off in the 15 gallon pot, showing rapid growth every day. The Blue MOBs seem to have stopped growing vertically in the 5 gallon buckets and are now filling out existing branches while they all reach for the sun. The 15 gallon Blue MOB seems to still be growing in height as well as filling out existing branches. Heavy rain has been persistent with few days of direct sunlight yet plants are still growing. Massachusetts ended up receiving the tail end of a big storm so I have not had to water them the entire week, the soil has stayed damp and kept the plants hydrated

420 Fastbuds Week 8 Blackberry Auto Hello grow fam hope all had an amazing Thanksgiving. Weekly update for these blackberries. Wow oh wow are they progressing nicely. The smell and color they're producing is out of this world. Completely breathe taking when you open the tent and your eyes are just drawn to them. I'd say they'll be getting the chop in the next upcoming weeks from the looks. I'll start checking trichomes to try and get maybe a 70/30 amber to cloudy out of them. All in all Happy Growing.

This strain was perfect for my first grow was resistant asf even in the 38 degree heat these plants showed little stress. Iโ€™ve learned a lot during this grow and decide to go with this strain again for my next, The smell of my harvest isnโ€™t that strong bud the high is. Smell is really nice and the taste ๐Ÿคค gave some to a friend who say โ€œ it fruitier than Alan carrโ€ but yeah have nothing bad to say about bpp and will be one of my go toos for now on

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest, I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket
