Happy with my plants 😊🙏

Week 3 Marvels: Cherry Cola Auto's Green Symphony Continues Hi guys! Our botanical voyage with the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds is evolving into a mesmerizing saga. As we delve into Week 3, the green marvel not only thrives but astonishes with newfound vigor. Strap in for another week of horticultural revelations! Our Cherry Cola Auto, now comfortably settled in the 16L fabric pot, has gracefully embraced the Lumatek 465W Zeus Compact Pro LED in its new tent. The transition was seamless, and the plant basks in the orchestrated light, akin to a botanical ballet. In a daring twist, I decided to break from tradition and venture into uncharted territory for autos - topping! With gentle fingers and utmost care, I executed a precise pinch at the top. The result? A beautifully topped Cherry Cola Auto, standing tall and proud. Topping involves removing the apical meristem, redirecting growth hormones, and promoting bushier lateral growth. It's like giving our plant a new set of directions for an intricate dance of foliage. But the surprises don't end there. This week, I introduced the art of bending to our green companion. Picture this: the plant, pliable and eager, responding to a gentle coaxing of its branches. Bending not only shapes the plant but also enhances light exposure to lower branches, ensuring an even canopy. It's like crafting a botanical masterpiece with nature as the artist. As promised, I've captured the essence of my Aptus Holland watering mix in a visual delight. Check out the accompanying video for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the meticulous concoction. This nutrient-rich elixir, featuring Regulator, caMg-boost, All in One and Start Booster, is the lifeblood of our Cherry Cola Auto's thriving existence. As we conclude this Week 3 saga, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of cultivation. To Fast Buds Seeds, Aptus Holland, and the entire green community, your support fuels this vibrant journey. Here's to another week of green marvels, topped triumphs, and bendable beauties. Until next time, keep growing, keep experimenting, and let the green symphony play on!

Esta semana los nutrientes siguen de la misma manera, es notorio el exceso de Nitrogeno por ende se disminuira en los próximos riegos, se realizaron podas apicales en los clones que no les hice anteriormente para que alcanzaran más altura. Dentro de esta semana instalare la malla scrog Kanovi para guiar los vigorosos brotes. Además esta semana ya esta retomando el crecimiento la planta madre variedad Tangie la cual cumplió su ciclo de propagación por esquejes y porfin florecerá. Leo comentarios, opiniones y recomendaciones

So I topped the girls again and moved them outside to the natural sun for the rest of the season.They are thriving and enjoying Mother Nature as intended for these girls.

She smells great! I wish she didn't get powdery mildew at the end but I couldn't risk it spreading to my other plants. Fortunately I caught it in time and the buds look good. The biggest one weighs 36 grams.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | A Gentle Giant Finds Her Rhythm Welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite aspects of this project is documenting every phenotype individually. Although every plant is receiving the same care, the same environment, and the same attention, each one responds in her own unique way. Godfather OG Pheno B is a perfect example of that. Standing proudly among the tallest plants in the room, she’s developing into a vigorous, elegant lady with excellent structure, healthy growth, and an increasingly impressive canopy. She may share the same name as her sister… But she’s writing a completely different story. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far If you’re joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of allowing a long vegetative period before switching to flower, every plant has remained under a constant cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very beginning. This allows every phenotype to express its own natural rhythm. No forcing. No extended veg. Just letting genetics decide when they’re ready to bloom. That has become one of the most educational parts of this entire grow. Watching siblings respond differently under identical conditions never gets old. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Has Officially Begun For me, this marks Week One of Flower. She’s now fully entering that exciting transition where vegetative growth slowly gives way to reproductive growth. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the tops and developing branches. Those tiny white hairs are the first signs of the flowers to come. During the next several weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each growth tip transforms into a future cola. Every morning brings another little surprise. It’s one of those stages where you can almost watch the plant changing before your eyes. ⸻ 🌿 A Beautiful Structure Already reaching approximately 70 cm, Godfather OG Pheno B is another one of the largest ladies inside the grow room. She has developed a wonderfully open structure with strong vertical growth and healthy lateral branching. Throughout vegetative growth I’ve relied mainly on gentle Low Stress Training, carefully bending leaves and branches to improve light penetration while allowing the plant to maintain her natural architecture. Rather than forcing the plant into shape… I’ve simply guided her. Now those early adjustments are beginning to pay off as multiple flowering sites receive excellent light exposure. Every branch is beginning to compete for the spotlight. ⸻ 💧 Hand Watering — Precision Through Observation Unlike her sister, this phenotype is being hand-watered, allowing me to monitor her individually at every irrigation. Hand watering offers a different type of control. Each watering becomes an opportunity to inspect the plant closely, evaluate her response, monitor runoff, and make small adjustments whenever needed. It’s a slower approach than automated irrigation, but it creates a very personal connection with each plant. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also transitioned to support this new phase of growth. Bloom nutrients are gradually taking the lead while maintaining enough nitrogen to fuel the final stretch before the plant fully commits her energy to flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Continues to Deliver The grow room continues providing an exceptionally stable environment. Current conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Nutrient solution: 24.2°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Everything remains remarkably consistent, allowing the plants to focus entirely on healthy growth. As flowering progresses and the buds begin to develop greater density, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Consistency remains one of the most important nutrients we can provide. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs capture her from every angle. Studio portraits showcase her elegant structure and increasing height. Close-up images reveal the first pistils emerging across multiple flowering sites. Bird’s-eye views highlight how evenly the canopy is developing after weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with environmental controller readings so everyone following this project can continue seeing not only the plants themselves, but also the conditions helping them thrive. Documenting the entire journey has become almost as rewarding as growing the plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming week should bring another noticeable burst of development. I expect the flowering sites to expand quickly as more pistils appear and the early bud clusters begin taking shape. Stretch may continue for a little longer before gradually slowing down, allowing the plant to redirect more energy into flower production. Training will remain minimal from this point onward, with only gentle adjustments where needed to maintain airflow and light penetration. She’s healthy. She’s vigorous. And I have a feeling she’s only beginning to reveal what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary tells a different story, and sharing these journeys with this amazing community makes the entire experience even more rewarding. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share and inspire one another. Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting these ladies every step of the journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable, carefully controlled environment from day one. And finally… Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read these updates, leave comments, ask questions, share knowledge, or simply follow along. Your encouragement makes documenting every single phenotype worthwhile. I’ll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno B continues her journey deeper into flowering. Growers Love and the adventure is only just beginning. 🌱👑💚

Como estamos familia, de nuevo actualizamos semana, y es que esta variedad no le a sentado bien el trasplante, que acompaño una pequeña carencia de nitrógeno y un exceso de humedad, conseguimos apañarlo regando la misma cantidad en periodos más extensos entre riego y riego y full de nitrógeno, salió todo correctamente, pronto pasaremos a 12/12 para la floración. Se sigue controlando los parámetros en el agua y la temperatura en nuestra malla, 26 de maximas y 18 de mínimas.

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

Purple Hints & Tent Transitions 🌸🌿 Week 4 of flower has arrived for my big Red Hot Cookies, and she’s now two weeks into her new life under the LED lights. After battling unpredictable weather out on the balcony, I made the call to bring her inside—and honestly, I don’t regret it one bit. The transition may have slowed her down a little, but it’s a much safer bet than letting her face another round of rainy chaos. 🌧️☔ She shares the tent with two Divine Seeds autos from the contest, so the light schedule remains at 16/8, which isn’t ideal for photoperiod flowering—but I’m curious to see how she handles it. Despite the slightly delayed bud development, I’m seeing some beautiful structure forming and her leaves have started to take on those signature purple hues. 🍇💜 Here’s her care routine this week: 🔸 Fed with BioBizz Grow, CalMag, BioBizz Bloom and BioBizz Top-Max 🔸 Effective Microorganisms to keep the soil biology strong 🔸 A dose of homebrewed compost tea midweek 🔸 Silica foliar spray was stopped when flowering began 🔸 pH: 6.5 🔸 EC: 2.2 mS/cm I also did a round of lollipopping on day 21 (July 10th), and she’s stayed nice and airy underneath since then. Still waiting for the upper buds to really start packing on weight, but there’s plenty of time—and I’m loving the color shifts and her elegant frame. Let’s see what the next few weeks bring as she fully settles into bloom under the tent glow. 🌞✨

Well one herm I was really sad but I can have her ruining the other girls party, but yeah both are looking kinda small I have to flower so early but I think stretch will bring them to where they suppose to be . But yeah one is keeping up with the tent and the other one is looking real little lol but yeah little leave scary me lol .. but yeah there doing okay nothing impressive other than one herming on me was crazy I have never had a Humboldt seed to herm but yeah I’ve grown hundreds and out 1 that good math lol so yeah . They growing in there pots so we flowering lol

She finished later then other ladys in same tent, and she is a lot bigger then other amnesia plants I had in same tent. Dry bud weight from her 102g.

The plant is drinking over 3 gallons of water every day. I’ve lowered the PPM’s to 600. Everything seems to be ok now. I will try to change the reservoir water every 5 days from now on. She started to smell amazing! Very lemony 🍋 P.S. Lowerd the TDS to 550 PPM on day 46. Also just realized that I stressed my plan with to much light. I moved the light at 13” and dimmed to 95% ... I will continue to dim it 2% every day...

Able to start low stress and get these shoots to grow grow grow so I can get this space filled and let em rock!!!! I'm excited too cuz these are getting cloned right before I flip and then see how they do outdoors in my colder climate...

To tell the truth, I am very surprised myself, how amazing she is FastBuds Gorilla cookies, she copes well with a small space:) she drinks 1 liter every day :) everything looks better than expected:) good luck to everyone.

Week 2 of flowering Growing better then my first one now I have learnt abit more about the F1 hybrid Good amount off bud sites growing with steady feed of shogun fertilisers Any advice would be appreciated 👍
