Finally back to the garden after 4 weeks away. They were really in need of love by the time I got back to take care of the garden. BIG NEWS! Now running a California Lightworks Solarxtreme 500 as my main light. Will add a second SX500 light into the room once I start flower. Hit the LST on the again and just making sure they are getting fed and lots of love. Will have to push back my starting flower by another few weeks. See how the recover

It was an adventure for a week๐Ÿ˜‰...when I was transplanted into a big pot of 2 gallons to 9 gallons and there was not enough land and it turned out that the photo number 6, Earth to order and it wait 14 days,๐Ÿ˜ต so I went to friends whose harvesting recently took land from them,poured boiling water and dried it, in the ground there was another coconut had to remember the story of Cinderella and chose the whole coconut from the ground and sprinkled the missing part. In all other respects, the week was stable, once again I make sure that the plant once again do not touch. An old friend of mine once told me - that the most important rule in groving is that if you donโ€™t hurt him, I know what he said, every day the plant will grow two or three centimeters tall, even after topping!!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ. with the new week I will give the CO2 feed and see what will happen. I plan to convert to color on April 8.. I will keep on veg for another 2 weeks.๐Ÿ˜€

1/11 - debating Scrog or no Scrog. I think it will be more trouble than just training with the rubber wire 1/12 - can't keep my hands off, but exercised moderation. I restrained 2 of the shoots off of the biggest top, im letting the others grow out so I can get a better grip. The stems are getting so fat!! 1/14 - feeding today 2L distilled water 1060ppm 5.9pH 72.5*F GROW 3g Kelp 0.25g Cal/Mag 0.54g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2g Enzymes 0.14g 1/15 - She's starting be to a really big bush! I need her to grow out a bit so I can let her grow up and then move to flower. Update: worked on spreading out all of the tops to the edges of the pot. She is perfect! 1/16 - shss back to full bush after l trained her last night. Forming up exactly the way I was hoping. She will be massive short stack 1/17 - did a decent defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking light and air opening up the smaller tops. I also bound the main tops further out to the edges of the pot. She is definitely going to be massive!! feeding today 2L distilled water 1090ppm 6.0pH 69*F GROW 3.15g Kelp 0.21g Cal/Mag 0.56g ominA 0.55g Microbes Grow Stage 2.02g Enzymes 0.13g Update: she already recovered most of the canopy 4 hours after the dedoliation!

As of day 21, growth is strong and I have begun LST. I have transplanted to a 5g grow bag, as the roots had fully populated the previous 1g container. The lower leaf browning has continued, despite a nice healthy root system (confirmed during transplant), so I have added h202 to the reservoir. This should prevent bacterial growth/PH swings, and will hopefully this will fix the issue. Overall, my nutrient mixing and fertigation schedule is the following: -H202, wait an hour. -Liquid silica, wait an hour. -Cal-Mag -Micro -Grow/bloom -Humic acid -Rapid start -Confirm EC (1.3) -PH down to hit a PH of 6 Then I fertigate to 10-20 percent runoff. I fertigate 2-3 times a day, as the coco/perlite blend is very resistant to overwatering. Thanks for reading, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘

This girl has been topped twice. She has responded really well. The plants look like they could take a feed so I'm going to start introducing nutrients again and a quarter the recommended dose and raise this gradually before flipping them all to flower in a weeks time.

First and foremost.. . I apologize on the tardiness of my diaries. I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago and it really put me down for a little bit. I'm finally feeling a bit more like myself and am spending more time in my garden again. In my last journal I was talking about the different mutations I had with both these ladies from the germination stage. After doing some research I found out that the blackberry auto is actually a triploid mutation and I'm glad I kept her.. she's looking amazing despite a slight nitrogen toxicity... maybe the soil was a little hot for the blackberry auto compared to the other pheno's I'm growing. The blackberry auto is well into flower and looking great. I'm going to continue to strip as much vegetation off her as possible and lollipop upwards through flower. There's not much I want to say about the Forbidden Runtz auto. She was a twin mutation and she has been stunted from day 1. She has grown lanky and thin, but I'm hoping to get some bud to press as soon as I harvest. She currently is looking a little stressed out, I've been feeding her at various pH and E.C. ranges just to see what happens. Please note the curling of the oldest fan leaves.

Day 29, Iโ€™ve been slowing a little bit with fer too loser as I m going into flow and I used an all mix soil from biobizz thatโ€™s already charged with an high ec, I donโ€™t wanna risk any over, I left it for one week with just water and regulator, the development of roots will help to absorbs the ec present in the soil so I will restart to fertilise next week. Iโ€™m using the complete line from aptus and Iโ€™m really satisfied I see how healthy the littles are. I will have my lamp 40 cm for this week and Iโ€™ll Move to 33 at the end of this week Day 32 this OS is flowering supersoeedy, I can already see buds, i had one of last lst just give her a more clean structure. I stopped to fertilise in the last 5 days, I just gave ph controlled water and yesterday 0.5 lt of water with just regulator and calmag. I wanted the plant to eat all the nutrients I gave during veg, I think this worked pretty well as I I saw her growing every day and I can. See an healthy nice green on leaves . I think that max tomorrow Iโ€™ll start again with fertiliser. Day 33 the orange sherbert is really running fast. I restarted feeding her today, flowering feedings started. Letโ€™s goo Letโ€™s goo!!

9/22 topped them at 4th node. some of them are looking better for mainlining that others. some of them i may not mainline and others i left an extra node in case i want to keep clones around. #1 is looking happy with the topping and looks really good. #2 is the only one thats been praying and is the tallest and strongest looking all around. #5 short and such tight internodal spacing that it makes it hard to see whats all there. just looks like a bunch of small leaves until they grow out. i may not mainline this one either be cause of it being so tightly packed it may make it 9/27/24 day 20 theyre growing quite well. #1 i ended up taking the bottom nodes. i was originally goi g to use them as clones later on but decided to just let her go with her 4 nodes. #5 is so tightly packed, she has like 8 mains all in such a small space, its hard to even make sense of it all.

Week 12, flushing with Fresh Water, PHd to 6.0, we are at all milky white trichomes on the F1, about 80% on the Pineapple, we are going the long distance here for the narcotic medical effects. 84 days likely we will go for both these ladies. @James the Milky Way F1 is really something special! My next grow will include Milky Way and Epsilon F1. @Fast_Buds the Pineapple Express, like you guys, is also one of my favorites you have! I just got 10 seeds of it, and 10 of the blueberry, which is also incredible (see my last grow of Originals)

Day 172 21/10/24 Monday I had 1.5 Litres of feed left, and she was top dry this morning so she finished that off today. Picture update ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’š I'll get one later with lights off ๐Ÿ™Œ Day 174 23/10/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Finally update pictures and videos ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ’š She is developing awsome colours, and buds are now starting to stack weight ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™Œ Day 177 26/10/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today, noticed a few tips burning. She is stacking !! This week she has developed a really floral aroma is sweet and tantalising like a perfume almost. She is glistening with trichomes, and buds are taking the dark ๐ŸŒ‘ colour with purple/pink calyx tips. Super duper sticky!!

Sheโ€™s growing and still in her stretch phase the aromas are sweet and skunk from the whole room lol. Cruise control has been activated just keeping both environments dialed in so I can get another perpetual flow started again. Iโ€™ve been stressing tf outta my clones lol at first had them in a aero garden then changed em to peat pellets hopefully they survive but hey it would be cool just got to pop another one. Happy Growing Growmies

Transplanted into 6.5L pots for now until I figure out where to put them in the garden. I did a top layer of more Sprout Island Blend and then my own homemade compost the rest of the container. I figure keep it nice and mild on nutrition at first and then they can reach down for more if they need it. The compost has a lot of worm activity. I also put them down a couple inches because they were so leggy to give them more support. I have them in a wire dog kennel with deer netting around the outside to keep critters from munching. They're much happier with actual sun and are taking in the fresh air well๐ŸŒž 2 out of the 3 have red stems so maybe an indica hybrid?๐Ÿ‘€

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 12 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Little Unicorn Is Rolling Toward the Next Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... Our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Moving. Stacking. Building. And apparently... doing it faster than some of the girls around her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop for a second every time I walk past her. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's getting heavier. She's continuing to build those amazing flower structures. And at this point... I'm not really doing much. Actually... I'm doing almost nothing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The plant knows what she's doing. So now? We're basically watching the show. ๐Ÿฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ And honestly... what a show she's putting on. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE LITTLE UNICORN KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Frosted Guava Pheno A is still moving fast. That's probably the first thing I notice this week. She's not sitting around waiting for anybody. She's continuing to develop. Continuing to stack. Continuing to build. And continuing to become more and more substantial. She's got that beautiful combination of structure and flower development that makes her so interesting to follow. Every week... something seems a little more developed. A little fuller. A little heavier. A little more defined. And that's what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. Not whether she can build. We already know she can. We're watching how far she decides to take it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„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”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING NOW โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage of the run, the flowers are really starting to tell the story. The plant has done most of the structural work. The framework is established. The branches are established. The flowering sites are established. And now the flowers are becoming the main characters. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ They're building. They're stacking. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial throughout the plant. And that's what I love about this stage. You can look at the plant and see the work that has already been done. Now we're simply watching the results develop. It's almost like watching a painting dry... except this painting keeps getting more beautiful every week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŽจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš–๏ธ SHE'S GETTING HEAVIER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This girl is not just flowering... she's carrying some serious flower. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ The structures are becoming increasingly substantial, and you can see that she's putting more and more of herself into those flowers. She's becoming a heavier plant. And that's another reason I'm not interested in constantly interfering with her. She's doing beautifully. She's growing. She's developing. She's carrying her flowers. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to become. So... why mess with it? At this point, my job is mostly to make sure she gets what she asks for... and then get out of her way. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got this. 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‘€ THE GROWER IS JUST WATCHING THE SHOW โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the funniest part of this stage of the grow. I've spent so much time throughout this adventure doing things. Training. Tucking. Adjusting. Moving. Checking. Photographing. Watching. Changing. And now... the plants are basically saying: "Thanks for all that. We'll take it from here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. The work has been done. Now we watch the show roll out. The plant is growing. The flowers are developing. The genetics are expressing themselves. And all I need to do is remain present enough to respond when she asks for something. That's it. Provide. Observe. Assist. And enjoy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ THE UNICORN STILL HAS HER PERSONALITY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I really like how recognizable this phenotype has become. When we first started this journey, we didn't know exactly what Frosted Guava Pheno A was going to show us. Now? I think we're getting a pretty clear picture. She's fast. She's beautiful. She's heavy. She's structurally interesting. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing things in her own way. She's definitely earned the little unicorn nickname. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And the more she develops... the more appropriate it becomes. There's something about her flower formation that keeps catching my eye. She's not just another flowering plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And she's becoming a very interesting example of what this genetic expression can look like in our environment. 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 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And once again... we come back to the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional philosophy. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve completely different stories. That's the magic. The room doesn't tell them exactly how to grow. It gives them the opportunity. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno A has clearly decided that she's going to make the most of that opportunity. She's growing fast. She's stacking. She's becoming heavy. She's developing. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’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’ก THE PHOTONS ARE STILL FLYING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting setup remains part of the same upgraded environment we've been running throughout the room. Those additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still helping expand our lighting capability. We're not simply throwing maximum power at the plants. We're controlling the output and providing the room with the photons it needs. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava is clearly making use of that artificial sun. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ She's taking those photons... and turning them into flowers. Lots of flowers. That's the beauty of it. We provide the sun. She decides what to do with 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”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHT DOESN'T MEAN MORE WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One thing I really like about the lighting upgrade is that it doesn't mean we have to constantly change what we're doing. The capability is there. The control is there. And now we simply watch how the plants respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need us standing beside her saying: "Come on, girl!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's already moving. She's already doing it. She's already developing. So... let her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And now we're entering another little transition in the room. The nutritional program is beginning to decrease. Nothing dramatic. Nothing unusual. Just the normal progression of the run. We've been feeding the plants through their development, and now we're starting to bring that nutrition down as part of the next stage of the journey. For me, this is another sign that the grow is slowly moving from: "Build." toward: "Finish." We're not there yet. But we're getting closer to that part of the story where the grower becomes less concerned with building new structure... and more interested in watching the plants complete what they've already built. And Frosted Guava has certainly built something worth watching. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ„ 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 THE BIG WORK IS DONE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest message I want to leave in this week's report. The work is done. At least... the big work. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We've established the plants. We've created the structure. We've managed the room. We've made our adjustments. We've provided the lighting. We've provided the nutrition. We've watched the plants develop. Now? We're mostly observing. Because you reach a point in every grow where trying to constantly "do something" can become more of a distraction than a benefit. The plant has a job. The plant is doing it. Our job is to make sure she has what she needs... and not get in the way. And Frosted Guava? She's doing her job beautifully. 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‘‘ GIVE HER WHAT SHE ASKS FOR โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So that's basically where I am with this girl now. I'm not trying to tell her what to do. I'm listening. ๐Ÿ˜‚ If she asks for support... we support. If she needs something... we respond. If something needs adjusting... we adjust. Otherwise? I leave her alone. Because she's showing me that she knows what she's doing. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's doing it without needing me to constantly interfere. That's a pretty good relationship between grower and plant. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒธ WATCHING THE SHOW ROLL OUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There is something incredibly satisfying about this part of a grow. You reach the point where the major decisions have already been made. And suddenly... you get to sit back and watch. The flowers develop. The plant matures. The colours evolve. The resin continues to develop. The structure becomes more pronounced. And eventually... we arrive at harvest. But we're not rushing there. We're still watching. Still documenting. Still learning. Still enjoying the process. And Frosted Guava is giving us a beautiful show to watch. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŽญ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROSTED PART OF FROSTED GUAVA โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... we can't forget the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The flowers continue to carry that beautiful resinous character that made the name Frosted Guava feel so appropriate. The closer you look... the more detail you find. The trichomes. The pistils. The flower structure. The textures. The little details that make each cola its own little landscape. This is another reason I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees: "Beautiful plant." The camera says: "Wait... come closer." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And then suddenly you're lost in the details. 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 THE CAMERA IS DOCUMENTING THE TRANSITION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is also where the weekly photographs become particularly valuable. Because we're now moving through a transition. The flowers are more developed. The plant is heavier. The structure is established. And we're beginning to see the plant move toward the next chapter. One week from now... there will be changes. Another week... more changes. And eventually... we'll look back at these photographs and realize just how much happened in between. That's why I love these diaries. We're not just showing the finished product. We're showing the journey. And Frosted Guava has given us a very interesting 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”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GROWER'S ROLE HAS CHANGED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Earlier in the run: "Okay, what do we need to do?" Now: "Okay... what does she need?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's a big difference. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant already exists. We're no longer trying to establish her structure. It's already there. We're no longer trying to convince her to flower. She's flowering everywhere. Now... we're simply supporting the process. And honestly? I really enjoy this part. Because it gives you time to appreciate what you've created. Or... more accurately... what the plant created. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ We just helped build the stage. She put on the performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ STILL MOVING FAST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And despite everything becoming more mature... she's still moving. That's what surprises me. She's not slowing down into some quiet little corner. She's continuing to develop. She's continuing to gain presence. She's continuing to stack. She's continuing to become more substantial. And I really like the pace she's chosen. She's got momentum. And we're simply letting that momentum carry her forward. No forcing. No rushing. No unnecessary changes. Just... let her go. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this point, my questions are becoming much simpler. ๐ŸŒธ How much more will she build? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will those flowers gain? โ„๏ธ How much more frost will develop? ๐ŸŽจ How will her colours continue to evolve? ๐Ÿฆ„ And how will this little unicorn look when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the interesting questions now. Not: "Can she do it?" She already is. Now we're simply watching how far she takes 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’š NO NEED TO FORCE THE ENDING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And that's something I want to keep reminding myself of. We're getting closer. But we're not going to force an ending. The plant will tell us. The flowers will tell us. The development will tell us. Until then... we watch. We maintain. We provide what she asks for. And we enjoy the ride. Because the harvest work will come later. And when it does... we'll have plenty of work waiting for us. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But that's another chapter. For now? We're still 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”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ LET THE LITTLE UNICORN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So... Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still moving. Still stacking. Still getting heavy. Still developing. Still doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š The big work is done. The room is established. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The nutrition is beginning its gradual transition. And now... we watch the show roll out. I don't need to constantly touch her. I don't need to constantly change something. I don't need to force her into a particular shape. I just need to be there. Observe. Respond. Support. And appreciate. Because this girl is putting on a beautiful show. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ And I absolutely want to see how the next chapter unfolds. 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”ฎ THE NEXT CHAPTER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ We're getting closer to the part of the adventure where the scissors eventually come out. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But not yet. For now... we're still watching the flowers develop. We're still watching the plant mature. We're still watching the colours. We're still watching the resin. We're still watching the little unicorn do whatever the hell she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And honestly? I'm in no hurry. Let's let her finish her story. Then... we'll deal with the harvest. But that's future us's problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Right now... present us is just enjoying the show. 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™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful expression from Frosted Guava.

Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Frosted Guava? You're still doing exactly what I hoped you would do... which is absolutely nothing like what I expected. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ You're moving fast. You're building. You're stacking. You're getting heavy. You're becoming more beautiful every week. And now we're simply watching you take everything you've built toward the next chapter. The big work is done. The grower is mostly standing here with the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The plant is doing the work. So... let her shine. Let her stack. Let her keep moving. Let her finish what she started. And when the time comes... we'll pick up the scissors and start the next adventure. But for now? I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the nutrition slowly starts stepping back, and our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ The work is done. Now... we watch the magic happen. Let her shine.
