🌟 Eternity Grow Cup – Week 3 Veg Report 🌱 Another week in the books, legends, and though the temps aren’t perfect, our Runtz babies are growing strong! 💪 This week marks a pivotal moment as we get serious and start to push these girls toward greatness. 🌱 Growth Update: • The girls are officially showing their third pair of leaves, and while they’re growing slow due to cooler temps, they’re consistent. Standing at 6 cm tall, these beauties are ready for the next steps in their journey. • The yellow sticky traps have also done their job, catching some gnats—always a win for pest management! Let’s talk about the unexpected guests making an appearance in the grow room—gnats! These tiny critters can be a common nuisance for growers, especially in environments with moist soil. While they’re not devastating, they can be a sign that things need a bit of tweaking. Why the Yellow Stickers? Yellow sticky traps are like candy for gnats—they’re irresistibly attracted to the bright color, which mimics flowers. These traps are a simple, non-toxic way to monitor and control the population. It’s not just satisfying to see them stuck (though, let’s admit it, it kind of is)—it’s also a great way to keep tabs on how many are lurking around and take action if necessary. What Causes Gnats? Gnats love moist environments, and overwatering or humidity that’s a bit too high can create their perfect breeding ground. Using high-quality soil like Pro-Mix HP with Mycorrhizae helps, but these little critters can still sneak in. How to Handle Them? While yellow stickers are a great first line of defense, staying vigilant with watering practices is key. Letting the top layer of soil dry out between waterings can disrupt their life cycle. Plus, products like beneficial nematodes or soil conditioners can help keep them under control. They may be tiny, but we’ve got our eye on them! Let’s not let the gnats steal the show—our Runtz have got all the spotlight! 🌟 Nutrient Regimen: This week, we’re sticking with the Aptus Clean Mineral Line for Veg, a powerful combo designed for optimal plant health: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – This keeps the plants strong, aids in stress tolerance, and boosts nutrient uptake. • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L – Balances the water profile and improves nutrient delivery. • All-in-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L – Provides a balanced mix of essential macro and micronutrients for sustained growth. 📌 Key Stats: • pH: 6.05 • EC: 1.0 • Temp: 18.3°C 🔧 Tech, Tools & Building the Dream Studio Behind the grow, I’ve been fine-tuning my workspace. Using just a piece of wood, carefully cut feet, and some imagination, I’ve elevated my monitors for better editing. It’s not fancy, but it works! 💻✨ For the grow, my trusted TrolMaster gear (from the Tent-X to the AMP-3) has been my go-to for precision.

All at all really nice plant with beautydull colors at the end the smell during flower is unbeleavable Sweet im sure this is the right seed for a Pheno Hunt there are bangers hidden 100%

I love this small fast pheno

After almost 1 week with my girls with MarsHydro 100w znd a proper tender with

------GENERAL COMMENT------ We arrived pass mid flowering as we are now starting week 5 of flower. No issues, bumped up a bit the Sensi Bloom to 2.5 after 3ml, and have seen the girls darken a bit, so i decided to go down a bit to 2ml this week, maybe stick to this dosage depending how the girls react. The tent have become small for or two ladies, no way to train them more, there is no space. Decided to move forward without a mid grow flush. Still on the 1.5l of water every other day, one base + recharge + pk booster, other with pk booster + natures candy + velokelp alternating. Today was the last Pk booster - Big Bud dose, now we will cut the Big Bud and enter with the Overdrive, the rest will be as is. ------SM.BB COMMENT------ The blueberry is darker than the AK, presenting no signs of overfert, tips are ok, and no spotting, buds are becoming fat and resinous.

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell witch plants are more sensitive than others.

Hello This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. This plant is growing well and looking good. I can see the flowers starting already. The next trim up is this week. I'll try to get in here this week and take care of any extra fanleaves (ones that don't get light on the bottom), (and ones that block the light from penetrating into the center) And sucker branches. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Mon: Day 71: Chopped small plant. Day 73: Watered big plant Day 76: Watered with just phd water.

Buds starting to grow throughout the room now having afew issues across the board on all plants with yellowing leaves and have concluded it is mag deficiency so will add call mag now see if they peek up until next week!

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

Queste sono praticamente 4 settimane di fioritura.. ne mancano altre 4 e spero che il tempo rimanga come ora anche se già fa molto freddo..(spero in poche piogge e giornate di sole) lei sembra resistere ai 5 gradi di notte e sembra riempirsi di resina e ha già un ottimo profumo😋

9/4/24 starting to look happier. also since shes had to reveg a bit, i got a peak into what she will look like in early flower. she will get dark and the fan leaves are covered in trichomes and that was only preflower. 9/9 topped the two

4 semana na flora, começando a apresentar tricomas e o cheiro está incrível,doce frutado,com notas terrosas. Super Mobydick Latitud Sur seeds.

Buenos días, les presento a Capri. Un experimento que quise probar, es una regular que hice vegetar un mes y la pasé a florar el 15 de marzo, queriendo imitar el proceso de una automática para comparar cantidad y calidad a la hora de la cosecha final. Cometí el error de ponerla en una maceta de 7.5L" definitiva". A los 45 días de floración me pedía trasplante a gritos. Podía notar que los cogollos se estancaron y las hojas se volvían amarillas. La pasé a una maceta Air Por de 10L a los 50 días de floración. Hoy por hoy (30/5) se encuentra más asentada, recuperando los tonos verdes y con 63 días de floración. Al parecer tiene predominancia sativa por lo que calculo que tendrá como mínimo 9/10 semanas de flora. Los productos que aparecen, son el historial de fertilizante que le puse desde que nació. A la planta no le hice ningún tipo de poda, creció tal cual sola, solo le saque dos ramas inferiores para hacerlas esquejes. Buen domingo y buenos humos!

two of the four females are way behind compared to the others, the pistils are just starting to show up now, while in the other four the pistils are already quite fat. as it's my first time, I'm not sure how much time I have left to harvest, but I believe it's around 5 weeks.

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Hungry, Frosty & Still Asking for More 🌸❄️💡 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here we go again... Chem Brûlée Pheno B. If you've been following her diary, you already know this girl has never really been shy about expressing herself. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. And she's definitely not the quiet girl in the room. 😂 But this week, something interesting happened. The plant itself didn't need much from me. The room changed. The lighting system received a serious upgrade. The nutrition moved forward slightly. And then... we stepped back. Because at this stage of flowering, sometimes the most important thing we can do is provide what the plant needs and let her get on with the job. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B? She's doing exactly that. She's still shining. She's still hungry. She's still building. And she's still very much herself. 🍮🌸❄️💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – Let Her Keep Building Chem Brûlée Pheno B remains around 130 cm, maintaining that taller, more open architecture that has separated her from her sister throughout this journey. And honestly... I'm really enjoying watching what she's doing with that structure. The height isn't the story anymore. The flowers are. The plant has already established her architecture. The branches are positioned. The flowering sites are developing. And now we're watching that framework slowly become something much more substantial. This is the stage where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's using the environment. So... let her work. ──────────────────────── 🍽️ Yes... She's Still Hungry If there's one thing Chem Brûlée Pheno B has made extremely clear throughout this grow, it's that she has an appetite. 😂🍽️🌿 She seems to look at the environment we've created and say: "Okay... what else have you got?" And while we obviously don't make nutritional decisions based purely on appearance, her vigorous growth and continued flower development make her a very interesting phenotype to observe. She's using resources. She's producing new floral development. She's maintaining her foliage. She's processing all that available light. And she's continuing to build. So yes... our hungry girl is still hungry. And we're listening. We're not throwing everything at her. We're not changing things dramatically. We're simply making measured adjustments and watching the response. That's the approach. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Becoming Part of Her Personality One of the things becoming increasingly difficult to ignore is the resin. The frost is developing beautifully. When you look at the plant from a distance, you see her overall architecture. Move closer... and suddenly the story changes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Trichomes. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny details everywhere. That's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. The wide photograph tells you where the plant is. The macro photograph starts telling you what she's becoming. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B is becoming increasingly interesting. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction? I really like it. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Taking Shape The developing flowers continue becoming more defined. Those long white pistils are still reaching outward from the developing structures, giving the flowers that almost explosive appearance we've been watching. But underneath those hairs, something more substantial is happening. The buds are gaining structure. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And the plant is slowly moving away from: "I have flowering sites." toward: "I'm building flowers." That's the transition we're watching now. And because Pheno B has such a distinctive structure, it's particularly satisfying to see those flowers developing throughout her branches. The architecture is becoming the foundation. The flowers are becoming the story. ──────────────────────── 💡 The 8×8 Just Got A Serious Photon Upgrade Now let's talk about the biggest change this week. The plants themselves didn't need much intervention. But the lighting environment received a major upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the 8×8. And... yes. We definitely noticed. 😂💡 The available light increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running everything harder, we reduced the output. We're currently running at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of available light. And I much prefer having that capacity available while controlling how much of it we're actually using. We're not chasing the biggest number possible. We're looking for the level that makes sense for the plants and the room. And right now... I'm very happy with where we've landed. ──────────────────────── ☀️ More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I particularly like about the new setup. We now have considerably more lighting capability. But we're not obligated to use all of it. We added the two additional fixtures. We measured the result. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Now we're around 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're also saving electricity compared with simply running all the fixtures at maximum output. That's a win for me. We're testing the fixtures properly. We're learning what they can do. We're finding a practical operating point. And we're not wasting power just because we have it available. That's exactly what I wanted from this lighting upgrade. ──────────────────────── 💚 Future Of Grow – A Big Thank You A special shout-out this week to Future of Grow. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. And now we're putting them to work. Real room. Real flowering plants. Real measurements. Real adjustments. The additional fixtures gave us more lighting capability than we initially wanted, so we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And I'm genuinely happy with the balance. Strong lighting. More control. Lower power consumption than running everything flat out. And twelve different plants showing us how they respond. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these additional fixtures and see what they can do in a real grow environment. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Chem Brûlée Under The New Artificial Sun And here's where things get fascinating. The lighting environment has changed. But Chem Brûlée Pheno B hasn't suddenly become another plant. She's still tall. Still vigorous. Still hungry. Still beautifully structured. Still developing those flowers. Still frosting up. That's the beauty of genetics. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. But the plant decides what to do with them. The same light can fall on two phenotypes and produce two completely different stories. And Pheno B is continuing to write hers. She's taking that available energy and putting it toward what she does best: growing. Building. Flowering. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD Across The Upper Canopy The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're currently seeing is across the upper canopy. And with Pheno B, that distinction is particularly important. She's a tall plant. Her flowers and leaves occupy different levels. The top of the plant sees stronger direct illumination. The middle receives a different intensity. The inner areas receive less direct exposure. And lower parts of the structure naturally receive something different again. That's completely normal. A plant isn't a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional solar field. 😂🌿☀️ Our goal isn't to make every single flower receive identical light. It's to create a strong, useful lighting environment while allowing the plant to use the available photons effectively. And that's why the ability to control the output is so valuable. We can provide a very powerful artificial sun without necessarily running it at maximum intensity. ──────────────────────── 💡 Photons Are Only One Part Of The Equation I've talked about photons throughout this project because they're fundamental to what we're doing. But they're never the entire story. Light interacts with temperature. Temperature interacts with transpiration. Water availability affects nutrient movement. Root-zone conditions influence uptake. Nutrition supports development. CO₂ influences photosynthetic potential. Plant structure determines how photons move through the canopy. Everything is connected. That's why I don't want to simply keep increasing light because we can. The objective is balance. Give the plant strong usable light. Keep the environment appropriate. Maintain irrigation. Support nutrition. Observe. And adjust when the plant actually tells us something needs changing. Right now? Chem Brûlée Pheno B is telling us she's happy. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – A Small Step Forward We've also made a small adjustment to the flowering nutrition this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to: 🌱 Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L The rest of the recipe remains: 🌱 Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L 🌱 pH adjustment as required That small increase brought the EC up slightly. We're now around: ⚡ EC — 2.14 mS/cm Again... small adjustment. Small movement. Measured response. We're not trying to reinvent the feeding programme. The plants are developing beautifully. So we're simply giving the flowering nutrition a small progression and watching how they respond. And our hungry girl? She's certainly giving us plenty to watch. 😂🍽️🌸 ──────────────────────── 💧 Irrigation – Let The System Keep Doing Its Job The irrigation system remains consistent. We're currently around: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with approximately: 🌡️ Solution temperature — 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature — 25°C At this stage, consistency becomes increasingly important. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a reliable root environment. She needs water. She needs nutrition. She needs oxygen around the roots. And then... she needs time. So that's what we're giving her. The system continues doing its job in the background while we concentrate on observation. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Environment The room is currently running approximately: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 130 cm The environment remains broadly stable. Summer still likes to remind us that absolute precision isn't always possible. 😂☀️ So the objective isn't chasing one perfect number. It's maintaining a stable overall environment. Avoiding unnecessary swings. Watching the plants. And responding when something actually needs attention. Right now... Pheno B looks very comfortable. ──────────────────────── 🌿 No Need To Manufacture Work This is probably one of the biggest themes of this week's report. We're not doing much to the plants. And that's intentional. Earlier in the grow, we had plenty of work. Training. Structure. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. But now? The plant has done most of the building. She's created the architecture. She's established the flowering sites. She's developed the canopy. She's now putting her energy into the flowers. So I'm not going to manufacture work simply because I feel like I should be doing something. Healthy leaves are working. Flowers are developing. The plant is healthy. Air is moving. Light is available. Nutrition is consistent. Water is being delivered. Sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is leave a healthy plant alone. And our hungry girl seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 She's Putting Those Photons Somewhere This is what I really enjoy about looking at Pheno B now. We can actually see the result of all that invisible energy. The photons are arriving. The leaves are capturing light. The plant is processing that energy. And the visible result is right there: More flower structure. More definition. More resin. More development. The plant itself becomes the record of what's happening. And Pheno B is giving us a pretty impressive record. She's not sitting still. She's working. Hard. 😂🌿 ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Is Still Loving Her And once again... this girl is fun to photograph. 😂📸 The full-plant shots show that tall, open architecture. The middle-distance photographs show how the flowers are distributed through the branches. And then you get closer... and suddenly the frame becomes pistils, resin and flower structure. That's the beauty of photographing the same plant every week. You stop relying on memory. You can actually compare. Week after week. Flower after flower. Change after change. And when you look back at the early photographs? The difference is remarkable. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has travelled a long way. And she's not finished yet. ──────────────────────── Same Environment. Completely Her Own Answer. This is still the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared general lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. And yet... twelve individual stories. Pheno B is another perfect example. She isn't Pheno A. She isn't one of the compact girls. She isn't one of the quieter phenotypes. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. And she's developing her flowers in her own particular way. The environment gives her the opportunity. The genetics decide how she uses it. And honestly? I really like her answer. ──────────────────────── 🍮 The Hungry Girl Is Still Hungry If I had to choose one sentence for this week's report, it would probably be: "She's still asking for more." 😂🍽️🌿 More photons. More time. More room to build. More opportunity to develop. And we're giving her those things in a controlled way. Not blindly. Not excessively. But consistently. The new lighting gives us additional capacity. The small nutritional increase gives the flowering programme a little more room. The irrigation keeps the root environment supplied. The environment remains stable. And then... we watch. That's the relationship between grower and plant at this stage. We provide. She responds. We observe. And when necessary... we adjust. ──────────────────────── 🔬 The Lighting Experiment Continues The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have added another fascinating layer to this project. We now have substantially more lighting capability than before. But the interesting result isn't simply the maximum output. It's finding the useful operating point. The PPFD initially went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the fixtures to approximately 59% power from the plug. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're doing it while using less electricity than running the fixtures at maximum output. That's exactly the kind of practical information I wanted from this experiment. The hardware gives us the capability. The measurements tell us what is actually happening. And the plants tell us whether they like it. Chem Brûlée Pheno B? So far... she's looking pretty happy. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, the plan remains beautifully simple. Keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep the environment stable. Keep irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep monitoring the lighting. And let Pheno B continue doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development ❄️ Increasing resin coverage 🌿 Healthy foliage 💡 Response to the stronger lighting environment 💧 Water demand 🌡️ Environmental stability 🌬️ Air movement through the canopy 📈 Increasing flower density and definition No need to force the next chapter. She's already writing it. We'll simply be here to document it. ──────────────────────── 💭 Final Thoughts – Let This Hungry Girl Shine Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues to be exactly what she has shown us throughout this journey. Tall. Vigorous. Hungry. Beautiful. Distinctive. And increasingly frosty. This week, we didn't need to do much to her. And that's a good thing. We added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We measured the increased light. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now sitting around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We increased Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 to 2.3 ml/L. The EC moved a little higher to approximately 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because she's doing her job. She's taking the photons. She's using the water. She's using the nutrition. She's building flowers. She's producing resin. She's becoming more and more herself. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. The goal isn't to make her behave like another phenotype. It's to give her the opportunity to show us what she can become. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B is definitely taking that opportunity. 🍮🌸❄️💡🔥 So keep shining, hungry girl. Keep building. Keep frosting up. Keep showing us what your particular expression of Chem Brûlée can become. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these individual stories. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the journey and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the nutrition and growing programme throughout this adventure. And a massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8×8. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, reduce the output and find a practical operating point has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also keeping electricity consumption lower than simply running everything at full power. That's real-world testing. That's what I like. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy and giving us another perspective on three-dimensional lighting. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. You're all part of the adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is writing hers with an appetite. 😂🍽️🌸 She's hungry. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's developing some gorgeous flowers. And she's still asking for more. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how far this hungry girl wants to take us. 🍮❄️🌸💡🔥 Until next week... Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸🍮
