🍑 8×8 Adventure – Week 14 🌿 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia 🐢 The Slow Girl Is Becoming Big Mama… One White Hair At A Time! 🌸👑 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. 🍑🌿👑 And guess what? SHE'S STILL TAKING HER TIME! 😂😂😂 Seriously, girl... How much time do you need?! At this point, I think we need to stop measuring her progress in weeks and start measuring it in Passion Fruitz units. 😂🍑⏳ Because while the rest of the room is moving toward the later chapters of the journey, this girl is still doing her own thing. And when I say she's behind the others... I mean she's WAY behind. The Blueberry Muffins are ahead of her. The other girls are ahead of her. Even some of the phenotypes that have been moving at a more relaxed pace are looking further along. And Passion Fruitz? She's standing there with those beautiful white hairs, developing flowers, gorgeous deep green foliage, and absolutely no intention of rushing for anybody. 😂🌸💚 But here's the thing... She's beautiful. Her flower formation is becoming increasingly interesting. Those white pistils are everywhere. And although she's taking her sweet time, she's also becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. Our slow girl is gradually turning into a bit of a big mama herself! 👑🌿💪 So, no, we're not going to complain about her pace all week. Well... Maybe a little. 😂😂😂 But we're going to appreciate what she's doing, document her progress, and give her the individual spotlight she deserves. Because this is the 8×8 Adventure. And every plant gets to tell her own story. ──────────────────────── 🐢 WEEK 14 — THE SLOWEST GIRL IN THE ROOM? I think Passion Fruitz has made her position pretty clear by now. She's not simply a little behind. She's taking a completely different route from most of the other girls. Even the Blueberry Muffin phenotypes are further along in their development. And when we look across the room, the contrast is becoming increasingly obvious. Some plants are showing much more advanced flower development. Some are changing colour. Some are approaching their final chapters. Passion Fruitz, meanwhile, is still producing those beautiful fresh white pistils and continuing to develop her floral structures. She's still working. She's still growing. She's still changing. But she's doing it at her own pace. And that's an important distinction. Slow progress is still progress. We're not going to pretend she's moving as quickly as the others. She's not. We're also not going to assume that her slower pace automatically means something is wrong. We look at the whole plant, the environment, the development, and the evidence in front of us. And right now, what catches my attention is that she's still building. She's not following the same timeline as her neighbours. And that's exactly why she's getting her own diary. 😂🍑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 LOOK AT THOSE WHITE HAIRS! Seriously... Let's appreciate those pistils for a moment. 🌸🌸🌸 Look at all those beautiful white hairs! They're fresh-looking, prominent, and spreading throughout the developing flower structures. They give the flowers that lovely appearance of a plant that still has plenty of visible development ahead of her. And when you compare her with some of the other phenotypes in the room, the difference becomes even more interesting. While other plants are showing more advanced signs of maturation, Passion Fruitz is still displaying plenty of those white pistils. She's clearly not expressing the same stage of development as the girls that are further along. And honestly? That's fascinating to document. Because we're not simply looking at one plant in isolation. We're looking at twelve individual plants sharing the same general environment, and we're watching their differences become increasingly obvious. Passion Fruitz is giving us one of the clearest examples of a phenotype that refuses to follow the crowd. 😂🍑 She's taking her time. She's producing those beautiful white hairs. And she's making us wait to see how her flowers continue to develop. ──────────────────────── 🍑 THE BUD FORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL Now, let's talk about the flower formation itself. Because this is where Passion Fruitz deserves some serious appreciation. Despite her slow pace, the developing flowers are beautiful. The structure is becoming more noticeable. The individual flowering sites are taking shape. And those white pistils create a lovely contrast against her darker green foliage. When I look at the photographs, I don't just see a plant that's behind the others. I see a plant with her own expression, her own structure, and her own timeline. Would I love to see her further along? Of course! 😂🍑 I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But there's a difference between wishing a plant would move faster and appreciating what she's actually doing. And right now, I'm really enjoying her flower formation. She's building. She's developing. She's becoming more substantial. And she's doing all of this without suddenly transforming into one of the faster girls in the room. That's Passion Fruitz for you. Same room. Different story. ──────────────────────── 👑 OUR SLOW GIRL IS BECOMING BIG MAMA! And here's another thing that's becoming increasingly noticeable. She's getting bigger! 😂💪🍑 Our slow girl is gradually becoming a more substantial plant. She's no longer just the little solo survivor quietly doing her thing in the corner. She's developing more presence. She's becoming a bigger girl, with a structure that's increasingly difficult to overlook. And I love that contrast. Because her size and her flowering progress aren't necessarily telling the same story. She's becoming a big mama in terms of her overall presence, but her flower development is still moving much more slowly than that of the other plants. And that's precisely the kind of detail we want to document. Plant size doesn't automatically tell us how mature the flowers are. A substantial plant can still be behind in floral development. A smaller plant can be further along. And in the 8×8, we're getting to observe those differences side by side. Passion Fruitz is giving us a beautiful example of that distinction. She's growing into her space. She's developing her structure. She's building flowers. But she's still taking her sweet time. 😂🍑👑 Big Mama in the making! ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME GIRL, SAME PERSONALITY One thing I really appreciate about Passion Fruitz is that she's remained remarkably consistent in one particular way. She does not care about our expectations. 😂😂😂 We can look at the other plants. We can compare their progress. We can look at the calendar. We can think about how far along we believe she should be. And Passion Fruitz will simply continue doing whatever Passion Fruitz does. She's not trying to catch up with the Blueberry Muffins. She's not trying to imitate her neighbours. She's not trying to win a race. She's simply developing at her own pace. And although that makes her one of the more challenging plants to compare with the faster phenotypes, it also makes her a very interesting subject for this project. Because the whole point is to observe the differences, not to force every plant into the same timeline. So, girl... take your time. Just don't make us wait forever! 😂🍑🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 THAT BEAUTIFUL DEEP GREEN Another feature that continues to catch my eye is her foliage. That deep green creates a beautiful background for the fresh white pistils and developing flowers. The contrast is lovely. And when you look at the plant as a whole, she's becoming a more substantial presence in the room. The leaves, the branches, the flower sites, and the overall structure all contribute to her individual appearance. Of course, colour alone doesn't tell us everything about a plant's health or maturity. We need to consider the complete picture. But visually, Passion Fruitz remains one of those girls that makes me stop and look. She's not the fastest. She's not the furthest along. But she's beautiful. And I want to appreciate that without pretending she is at the same stage as the others. That's what honest documentation is about. We show what we see. We talk about what we notice. And we allow the next chapter to reveal itself. 🍑🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — TWELVE PLANTS, TWELVE TIMELINES For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! We're following twelve individual plants and phenotypes sharing one room. They receive the same general environmental approach, the same lighting ecosystem, the same irrigation philosophy, and a shared nutritional programme. Yet they don't all respond in the same way. Some develop quickly. Some take longer. Some build substantial structures. Some remain compact. Some show more advanced floral development while others are still producing plenty of fresh pistils. And Passion Fruitz? She's making sure we understand that there is no universal timetable for every plant in this room. 😂🍑⏳ Even compared with the Blueberry Muffins, she's still noticeably behind in visible flower development. That contrast is exactly what makes the project interesting. We can observe the differences without assuming that every plant should be at the same stage simply because they share a room. The environment is shared. The genetic expression isn't identical. And the timeline isn't identical either. Twelve plants. Twelve individual stories. One very slow Passion Fruitz. 😂🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN — FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES Our upgraded lighting setup remains part of the 8×8 experiment. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this project included in the setup. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Our previous lighting reference was approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy Actual intensity varies across the canopy depending on plant height, position, and distance from the fixtures. And that's particularly interesting in a room like this. We're not lighting twelve identical plants arranged on a flat surface. We're lighting a three-dimensional garden with different heights, structures, and canopy positions. Passion Fruitz receives light within that shared environment, but she continues developing at her own pace. The lighting doesn't make every phenotype behave identically. And that's precisely why we want to observe what happens rather than assume we already know the answer. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. Having more lighting capability while controlling the output gives us another interesting part of the setup to document. 💡🌱☀️ ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT RESPONSE This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire project. We provide a shared environment. The plants respond as individual plants. Some are further along in flowering. Some are still developing their flowers. Some change colour earlier. Some retain more of their green appearance. And Passion Fruitz is continuing to show us a slower progression, with plenty of beautiful white pistils and developing floral structures. We shouldn't assume that the lighting alone explains those differences. Plant development reflects several interacting factors, including genetics, environmental conditions, and the plant's stage of development. But by following these girls side by side, we can observe how differently they express themselves under the same general conditions. That's the experiment. And Passion Fruitz is giving us another reason to keep watching. 😂🍑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔴 THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE — OBSERVE, DOCUMENT, LEARN As with the other reports, we're also documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths interact with the plant's phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The timing, spectrum, intensity, and duration of light exposure can influence plant responses, but those effects depend on the specific conditions. That's why we're treating our red-light period as part of our lighting routine and something worth documenting, rather than automatically claiming that it improves flower development or accelerates maturity. Passion Fruitz is still moving slowly compared with the rest of the room. We're not going to attribute that difference to one lighting factor without evidence. The interesting thing is that we can document the shared conditions and compare the plants' different expressions over time. That's how we learn more. Not by promising magic results. Not by assuming every treatment works the same way for every plant. But by observing, recording, comparing, and staying honest about what we know. 🔴🌱🔬 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE EMERSON EFFECT — A LITTLE LIGHT SCIENCE While we're discussing lighting, let's revisit the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect is an established phenomenon in photosynthesis where combining certain red and far-red wavelengths can produce a greater-than-expected photosynthetic response under suitable experimental conditions. It involves cooperation between the two major photosystems involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: 🌿 Photosystem II (PSII) 🌿 Photosystem I (PSI) Their light-absorption characteristics differ, and under certain conditions, supplying suitable wavelengths together can improve the balance between their activity. It's a fascinating example of how plants respond to light in more complex ways than simply receiving more or less illumination. However, we need to distinguish the established science from what we're actually testing in our room. The Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment produces the same response. Red and far-red wavelengths aren't interchangeable, and the result depends on the specific spectrum, intensity, timing, and conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is part of the routine we're documenting. We're not claiming that it automatically reproduces the Emerson effect or guarantees faster development, denser flowers, or increased yield. Those conclusions would require suitable measurements and controlled comparisons. The science is fascinating. The experiment is worth documenting. And the honest approach is to keep those two things separate until we have evidence connecting them. 🔬💡🌱 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION — KEEPING THE APPROACH CONSISTENT The last recorded room nutrition reference was: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.0 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L The previous recorded solution readings were approximately: ⚗️ pH — 6.04 ⚡ EC — 2.05 mS/cm These are the previous room reference values, not newly verified measurements for this specific update. The overall approach remains consistent with the rest of the project: observe the plants, maintain the shared growing environment, and avoid making assumptions about individual progress based on the calendar alone. Passion Fruitz is still producing those beautiful white pistils and developing her flowers. She's also becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. But she's clearly progressing at a different pace from many of her neighbours. So we're documenting that difference rather than pretending all twelve plants are at the same stage. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 14 — ROOM CONDITIONS The last recorded shared room reference was: 🌸 Flowering — Week 14 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Main lighting — Future of Grow Black Series LEDs 🔌 Approximate lighting output — 59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD reference — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~26.5–27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~25–26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25–26°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature — ~25°C ⚗️ Previous pH reading — ~6.04 ⚡ Previous EC reading — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 💧 Previous irrigation reference — ~1.4–1.45 L per plant / 24h 🌱 Pot size — 15 L These are the previous shared room readings for context, rather than a claim that every measurement was repeated this week. Same general room. Same lighting ecosystem. Same shared environmental approach. And a very different developmental timeline from some of the other girls. That's our slow Passion Fruitz. 🍑🌿⏳ ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHS — BEAUTY IN THE DETAILS This is where I really want people to take their time looking at the photographs. Because the first thing you might notice is that she's behind the others. And yes, she is. But don't stop there. Look at those white pistils. Look at the developing flowers. Look at the contrast against the foliage. Look at the overall structure. Look at how she's becoming a bigger plant while still showing a relatively early-looking floral expression compared with some of the other phenotypes. There's a lot to appreciate here. The full-plant photographs tell us about her size and structure. The closer shots let us appreciate the individual flower sites. And the week-to-week comparisons help us see the changes that might otherwise be difficult to notice. That's why I enjoy documenting every phenotype individually. A single photograph tells us what a plant looks like at one moment. A diary gives us the story of how she got there. And Passion Fruitz has certainly given us a story worth following. 😂🍑📸 ──────────────────────── 💚 WE'RE NOT GOING TO RUSH HER Let's be honest. I'd love to see this girl move faster. 😂🍑 I would! When you have other plants in the same room moving further along, it's natural to look at Passion Fruitz and wonder when she's going to catch up. But comparing their progress doesn't mean we should force her to follow their timeline. She's an individual plant. She's showing us her own development. And our job is to observe that honestly. We're not going to pretend she's further along than she is. We're also not going to write her off because she's slower. She's still growing. She's producing beautiful white pistils. She's developing her flower structures. And she's becoming a substantial plant. Those are the things worth documenting. The next chapter will tell us more. Until then, we're going to let Passion Fruitz continue revealing her own expression. ──────────────────────── 💬 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

And Passion Fruitz is still taking her time. 😂🍑⏳ She's still way behind the other girls in visible flower development. Even the Blueberry Muffins are further along. Her beautiful white pistils are still prominent. Her flower structures are developing. Her foliage has that lovely deep green appearance. And she's becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. Our little solo survivor is turning into a big mama of her own. 👑💪🌿 She's growing. She's developing. She's building. But she's doing it slowly. Very slowly. And honestly? I'm still enjoying watching her. Because the 8×8 Adventure was never supposed to be about making every plant behave the same way. It was about giving different phenotypes a shared environment and documenting what happens. Passion Fruitz is giving us a clear example of how different those timelines can be. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same shared nutritional approach. And yet... a completely different pace. That's what makes her interesting. That's what makes her worth following. And that's why she deserves her own report. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate those beautiful white hairs. Let's appreciate that developing flower formation. Let's appreciate the way she's becoming a bigger plant. And let's accept that she's not going to win any speed competitions this week. 😂🍑🏆 No problem, girl. We're not going anywhere. We'll keep observing. We'll keep documenting. We'll keep comparing her progress with her own previous weeks rather than expecting her to become somebody else. And we'll let the next chapter tell us what comes next. Keep growing, beautiful Passion Fruitz. Keep developing those flowers. Keep doing your thing. And when you're ready to show us the next stage... we'll be right here. 🍑🌸🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the platform where we can document these individual journeys and share the progress with the community. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful solo survivor throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the garden. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🔥 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring another dimension of lighting deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following these twelve girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every bit of support. You're part of this adventure too. 💚🌱 Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Twelve individual timelines. And Passion Fruitz? She's still taking the scenic route. 😂🍑🌿 But she's beautiful. She's growing. She's developing. And she's teaching us another lesson in patience. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep documenting the differences. And let's give every phenotype the attention she deserves, whether she's racing toward the finish or taking her sweet time getting there. Until next week... Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🍑 Take care, everyone. And Passion Fruitz... we love you, girl. But seriously... HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?! 😂😂😂🍑⏳ Keep shining, beautiful slow girl. Your story isn't finished yet. See you next week in the 8×8 jungle! 🌿🔥💚 https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial

We continue forward and the flowers are looking beautiful. Battling pH issues and the drift in this tent is just crazy, especially since I barely have room to move her around to adjust her parameters. I need to not be lazy 😂 and do what needs to be done. She's got a funky grapes profile and berry smell that's getting more acrid as she ripens. From the amount of pistils she's still throwing, I'd say she's gonna be going for a while longer. I'm still in love with that beautiful purple flower and can't wait to see how far I can push her in this micro set up. The power of the Groloponix MiniMax 1G is on full display!!!

Welcome! In this grow we have: 2x Platinum Wedding Crasher 2x Gelato 41 1x Sour OG 2x Lemon Kush Germination/Rooting - 14 Days 9/17/21 - The clones look good in solo cups of soil. We will transplant into 5 gallon pots in the grow tent after they fully root in the cups. 9/18/21 - Looks like the clones are doing well in soil! We are so excited to grow these out. The clones came from a very highly respected grower. 9/19/21 - No ugly growth. All clones look amazing! We upgraded the light to a Mars TSW 2000. 9/20/21 - They are looking good and most likely rooting throughout the cups. I’ll give them a little bit of water today. I want the roots to go looking for the water so I’ve kept them slightly dry. 9/21/21 - They look happy. I will let them just do their thing… We are waiting on our Mars TSW 2000 light to show up anyways. No roots visible from the drainage holes in the cups. 9/22/21 - Looking really healthy and growing nicely. I’m excited for them to fully root in the cups so we can transplant them into the tent. The Mars TSW 2000 should be here in the next few days. 9/23/21 - Looking so good! We can’t wait to get these under the Mars TSW 2000 in the tent. They smell and look great. 9/24/21 - The clones look really good except for one Sour OG. It wilted and died, roots did not take unfortunately. I have a Lemon Kush started from seed we will grow in place of the dead Sour OG. Today we got our Mars Hydro TSW 2000 light. We will be hanging it and updating with pics/videos. 9/25/21 - They look amazing. Lots of growth while rooting. 9/26/21 - So far so good. Watering when the cups get light in weight. In just a few days we will be transplanting. See the video for today, we hung the Mars Hydro TSW 2000! 9/27/21 - Watered them yesterday, they look healthy. The Lemon Kush isn’t a clone, it is from seed. It’s the smallest girl but it’ll perk up quickly. 9/28/21 - Transplant day!! The clones are looking really good and it’s time to transplant into the 4x4 under that Mars Hydro TSW 2000 at 50% intensity. Check out the pictures and videos from today!

Esta semana fue solamente de flush 🚿 en esta ocasión decidí usar florakleen para ver con cual obtengo mejor resultado si con este o con flawless finish, lo hice así, primero hice un lavado con pura agua con ph de 6.2 lo hice desde el ultimo día de la semana anterior, fue lavado doble, uno en cuanto se encendio la luz y otro justo antes de apagarse, luego empezando esta semana regué dos dias usando el florakleen y ph de 6.2, el tercer día no regué y al final de ese día le di corte ✂️ y la colgué, actualmente ya la tengo curando, la tuve 10 días secándose con una humedad de entre 50 y 60% para un secado lento.

Girl Scout cookies started to get colors and she’s frosty ! Pleasure for the eyes and for the nose ! Definitely love this strain !

grow room adjustments this week. plants are now more spread out under a total of 5 600w HPS lights. 3 fastbuds plants have an additional 45w LED light. by week 3/4 they will occupy my whole grow space and an additional 3 600w HPS lights will be added. Plants are looking healthy and 10 or so have been topped for the first time on day 8. dinafem cookies are looking very good in structure. will upload pics every day until harvest! thanks for looking. UPDATE day 12 veg, they are looking beautiful better than i expected. there are 36 in 15litre pots now and i cant wait to make my final grow room upgrage next week and for my room to be looking like a forest! im hoping for 2-3kg off these girls and only time will tell. i will keep doing daily updates until harvest

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. This little slurricane 7 had a rough start but looks like shes pulling through. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

A BIG hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You rule! I'm late with the update again because of the holidays and the Black Weekend shopping spree ;) So all the pictures were taken on November 25. Everything runs smooth, The Blue Cheese is truly catching some blue colored buds and leaves....the leaves are also yellowing a lot right now, that you have to forgive me ;) But it's ok because this lady has one last week befor finish. looking at the trichomes mostly they are cloudy with some amber and transparent both present, so i start flush any day now. The bright Mars Hydro TS 1000 is kept at 33 cm from the top of my plants is is running on full power. TS 1000 gives a full spectrum of light to the plants and you can see that... Mars Hydro did a very good job producing this lamp. Thanks to Mars Hydro for supplying the necessary equipment for this grow. That's it for this week folks, have a wonderful week.

Super Bad ass Plant, I feel like That part on the Movie Pineapple Express, where he's like we are the only guys in the city that have this!

Beginning of week.. Well, the branches were beginning to spilt at the top node.. Thats why they say to leave some stem between nodes when topping.. Them fuckers will split.. Even with such thick stem growth.. It was splitting pretty deep already.. So I said fuck it.. One single node it is... Thats ok tho.. She will still fill out her suitcase home with what Im gonna do to her! Gonna go up just a tad on the nutes.. The runoff pH and PPM are coming out pretty much just as they go in.. Niceeeee! She is gonna do such amazing things!!! Just watch! Next day... I havent got pics yet.. But I pretty much tied each of the main tops down.. Not quite pointing down yet.. Which is my main goal for a few days to let the new little branches can gain some dominance and then probably just leave her at that.. Just the 2 branches on the sides and let the main branches back up after a week or 2 and should have 6 main tops goin in the suitcase lol... Pics coming in a couple days. Hope this comes out as Im wishing lol.. And symmetrical.. I hate uneven colas.. Especially in this small nano shit lol even had to water again.. She is beginning to drink quite a bit more.. Noice! More time with her! I love it! Lol hope the springtails dont make it over to this one.. I need to buy either some diamiteous earth or whateverthefuck lol or some neem oil.. I heard neem is ok but the diamitenomious earth or wtf ever seems a bit quicker??... Maybe??? Idk lol.. Anybody got any ideas?? Or have any input on getting rid of pests in the medium.. Not on the leaves as far as I can tell.. They dont seem to hurt the plant either.. But they are just a nuisance to have in the runoff all the time.. Like I said.. Not in this plant yet.. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time with the way these mf's multiply.. I'll get rid of 1000's up to twice a day.. That must mean there are MILLIONS in there still.. Fuuuck.. Lol.. But any input or ideas fellow growmies?? Mid week.. She is filling out nicely.. Trying to tie the branches down more to bring the tops further down than the 2 new branches on each branch.. But since they are already so thick and short.. Its hard to tie them that far so Ive just been bending the very top sprout down by hand a few times a day.. When I can.. I read about this technique my first ever grow.. Just bending the very tip at the stem.. Almost making it weak.. Kinda like a supercrop I guess.. But weakening that part of the stem will just slow the top growth above it down.. But of course all the healthy new sprouts will take over with that apical dominance jazz lol.. But yeah.. Leaves are getting super dark green.. But i like it. Seems like such a strong sturdy leaf lol.. Thats a good thing I would think.. New growth is of course doing what it always does.. But still coming out to a healthy shade of green. The last pic for "mid week" is just showing there is still no preflower.. Sometimes I get it this early on.. Also that ai removed the fan leaf before it was every big enough to even get any sunlight to open the inside of the bush more.. Just did it super early and regretting it now cuz it might fuck up the apical dominance jazz since the back of the leaf I removed isnt there to block the light.. But im sure the minor supercropping to the tips should help do what I'm trying to make her do.. We shall see! Also added a little Floralicious Plus to the mix.. She dries out pretty well every other day now I believe.. Which is a good thing to let the medium get pretty dry too.. So the roots will do some searching and creating a big rootball a bit quicker.. I love these plants! Lol.. Later that day... Fuck.. Well she has been topped again at 2nd node this time.. Its cool.. Fuck it lol.. The supercropping type shit I was doing isn't meant for very new growth I guess.. Luckily it left some stem so they shouldnt split like last time.. Still gonna shoot for a nice, thick canopy.. We shall see how it goes

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | Elegance in Every Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a true phenotype hunt is discovering how differently each individual plant expresses herself, even when every variable remains exactly the same. Same genetics. Same lighting. Same environment. Same feeding philosophy. Yet every plant tells her own story. Godfather OG Pheno B is proving that perfectly. While some of her sisters are building broader, bushier canopies, this lady has chosen elegance over width, reaching confidently toward the lights with long, graceful branches and beautifully spaced flowering sites. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply becoming herself. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🌱 The Journey So Far If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome! Every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than extending the vegetative stage before inducing flowering, every seed has lived under twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very first day. That means I never decide when flowering begins. The plants do. Each phenotype follows its own internal clock, revealing its own pace and personality. It's one of the reasons this project has become such an incredible learning experience. Watching sister plants develop into completely different individuals under identical conditions never stops amazing me. 🌸 Week One of Flower This week marks what I consider Week One of Flower. The transition is now unmistakable. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every growing tip, quietly announcing that the plant has shifted her priorities from building stems and leaves to creating flowers. These tiny white hairs may seem insignificant today... …but they are the first chapter of every future cola. Every morning seems to bring another cluster of pistils, another little burst of growth, and another reminder of how quickly this stage evolves. It's one of my favourite moments in the entire cultivation cycle. The excitement is only just beginning. 🌿 A Structure Built for Success Now standing close to 96 cm, Pheno B has become one of the tallest ladies in the room. Rather than producing a dense, compact canopy, she's expressing a wonderfully open architecture. Long internodal spacing. Strong central stem. Healthy side branching. Excellent airflow. Instead of fighting her natural shape, I've simply allowed her to develop the way she wanted. No aggressive training. No heavy defoliation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there to improve light penetration while letting the plant write her own story. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the plant's way. The result is an elegant framework where every future flowering site has room to breathe and access to plenty of light. 💧 Hand Watering — Every Plant, Every Decision Unlike some of her sisters growing on AutoPots, Pheno B continues to be hand-watered. There's something incredibly rewarding about this approach. Every watering becomes an opportunity to slow down. To observe. To inspect every leaf. To notice the smallest changes before they become problems. Rather than simply feeding the plant, hand watering encourages a closer relationship with her development. As flowering begins, the nutrition program continues its gradual transition toward bloom production. Bloom nutrients are now taking a larger role while enough nitrogen remains available to support the final stretch before the plant fully dedicates her energy to building flowers. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. 🌡️ Environment — Consistency Creates Confidence The room continues delivering stable conditions that allow every phenotype to perform at her best. Current averages include: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • ? Root zone: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 24°C • 🌿 CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfection every day, I focus on maintaining consistency. Healthy plants don't just grow because they're fed well. They thrive because they're never forced to constantly adapt to changing conditions. A stable environment allows the plant to spend her energy growing instead of recovering. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a plant that's confidently stepping into her flowering journey. Full-length portraits highlight her elegant vertical structure and balanced branching. Close-up images showcase the first clusters of bright white pistils appearing across multiple flowering sites. Several photographs also reveal the open architecture that has naturally developed through gentle guidance rather than heavy intervention. Every branch seems eager to join the race toward becoming a future cola. Watching these subtle changes unfold week after week is one of the most rewarding parts of documenting this project. Sometimes a camera captures progress that our eyes almost miss from one day to the next. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More pistils will appear across every branch, while the first true bud clusters begin forming at each flowering site. Training will remain minimal. Only occasional leaf tucking will be carried out whenever necessary to improve light penetration and airflow. At this point, the goal isn't to reshape the plant. It's simply to support the structure she's already chosen for herself. If she continues growing with this same rhythm, I think she's going to produce a canopy filled with long, beautifully stacked colas. She's healthy. She's vigorous. And she's only just getting started. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that's exactly why documenting each one individually has become such a rewarding experience. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share their experiences, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for supplying the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. ? Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment that allows every phenotype to express her full potential. And finally... Thank you to everyone reading these updates, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply following along. Your support makes this journey even more enjoyable. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno B continues transforming graceful branches into what I hope will become a canopy full of beautiful flowers. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱👑💚

102.5g dry, top nug 13.3gs dry. Absolute beast of a plant especially as a freebie, had a good bit of fun with this one and it’s nice seeing improvement through each plant.

it got eaten by slugs after a heavy rain' now itz DeaD YaY. What did I learnt from all this ? I am an Idiot.

Geruch etwas weniger als erwartet trdm sehr sehr sehr geile terps bin gespannt wenn’s fertig gecured ist wie es dann schmeckt

Happy New Year everyone ! Flo + 58 i'll start flushing this week end and cut them around 12/13 january, there is a strong smell inside the box ^^ it's so pleasant, i'm so impatient to chop them 😁 See you next week !

This week's been exciting, they've grown upward a few inches and started to bush out. I did do a mild defoliation taking off a few lower leaves and tucked some of the top bigger fan leaves. I started adding co2 this week and they seem to really be enjoying the added amount. All in all Happy Growing

After 1 week of flush the plant start to fade gently, i hope that gonna be good before harvest. I think my additives tend to keep my plant green, both contain seaweed extract and are slow release. There is a little bit of nice fox tailing.

The GZ is crazy frosty barely into week 3 of flower & is smelling pretty wild. The GSC is less impressive resin production as of now but it smells quality.
