Hello Diary. Here we are in the seventh week of the cycle, the fourth week of flowering. Sherbet Queen is making great progress, the flowers are filling up, and they already have a strong smell. I really have nothing negative to write, as you can see in the photos, everything is great. I gave her some food this week, I added an Easy Bloom Booster tablet and I added BioBizz on two occasions. I stopped adding CalMg since the plants show no signs of a deficiency of these minerals. I had to connect a few branches with the pipe cleaners, they started to tilt from the weight. The temperature is in line with the summer months, slightly higher than ideal. Humidity is satisfactory, around 50%. Here's what the week looked like. 28/06/2021 - Day 44. Watering. I lowered p.H. at 6.3 and added one Easy Bloom Booster tablet to a total of 8 liters of water. With that amount I watered all three plants that are on the Farm. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 49% humidity. 30/06/2021 - Day 46. Watering. This time I added BioBizz. I added 8 liters of water Alg-a-Mic - 10 ml BioGrow - 15 ml Top Max - 7 ml Bio Bloom - 10 ml I adjusted p.H to 6.4 and with that amount I watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 32 degrees and 38% humidity. 02/07/2021 - Day 48. Watering. p.H I adjusted to 6.2 and added Bio Bloom 2ml / lit, Top Max 1 ml / lit and Alg-a-Mic 1.5 ml / lit. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 47% humidity. 03/07/2021 - Day 49. Photography. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 48% humidity. Well, that's all for this week, see you soon.

? 8×8 Adventure – Week 10 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A A Quiet Girl Starting to Show Her Character 💚🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 If you've been following this grow, you already know that Blueberry Muffin has never really been the girl trying to steal the spotlight. She's compact. She's controlled. She's not particularly tall. And compared with some of the more aggressive plants in the room, she has always had a slightly slower, quieter rhythm. But that's exactly what makes watching her so interesting. Because while some plants seem to scream: "LOOK AT ME!" Blueberry Muffin has always been more like: "Don't worry. I'm getting there." 😂? And this week... She's still getting there. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Keeping Things Steady We're not making any dramatic changes this week. Actually, quite the opposite. At this stage, consistency is becoming one of the most important tools we have. We're keeping the environment as close as possible to where it was last week, maintaining the same general lighting, irrigation and feeding strategy while allowing the plant to continue developing at her own pace. Of course... It's summer. ☀️ And summer has other plans. Keeping temperatures absolutely identical day after day isn't realistic. We see a degree up. A degree down. A small fluctuation here. Another one there. And that's perfectly normal. What matters is that we're keeping those variations controlled rather than allowing the environment to swing wildly. The things we can keep stable... We're keeping stable. The nutrient solution. The watering. The root-zone conditions. The light schedule. The general humidity. The lighting intensity. And most importantly... The routine. ──────────────────────── ? Blueberry Muffin – Still the Compact One Blueberry Muffin is currently around 75 cm, and that hasn't changed dramatically. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Not every plant needs to become a giant. Not every phenotype needs to stretch aggressively. This girl has been telling us from the beginning that she prefers a more compact architecture. She's building flowers. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply doing it in her own time. And looking at the photographs this week, that's becoming increasingly obvious. The plant may be compact... But she is certainly not lacking in flowers. The developing buds are becoming more pronounced throughout the canopy, with plenty of pistils and increasingly defined floral structures. She's quietly stacking. And that's what I want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Stagnant This is something I think is worth mentioning. When we say Blueberry Muffin is slower than some of her neighbours, that doesn't mean she's sitting still. Far from it. She's changing every week. The flowers are developing. The branches are carrying more weight. The plant is gradually shifting from producing new vegetative structure toward putting more emphasis on the flowers already established. It's just happening without the explosive vertical growth we've seen from some of the other plants. And honestly... That can be a beautiful trait. A compact plant can sometimes make canopy management much easier. There's less vertical drama. Less fighting for height. Less chasing branches. And more time to simply watch the flowers develop. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Lights – Where the Photons Go One of the things I'm particularly enjoying at this stage is watching how the lighting strategy interacts with this plant. We're not simply throwing light at the top of the canopy and hoping for the best. The Future of Grow LEDs are providing the main lighting foundation above the plants, delivering the primary photon supply that drives photosynthesis across the canopy. And then we have Lumiflora contributing additional light into areas that would otherwise naturally receive less illumination. That's an important distinction. Plants don't experience light as: "Top light." They experience photons arriving from different directions and at different intensities. Our job is to make as many of those useful photons available to productive foliage and developing flowers as practical. And Blueberry Muffin's compact structure makes this particularly interesting. Because she's not extremely tall, we're able to maintain a relatively controlled relationship between the light and the canopy. The upper flowers receive strong illumination. The inner structure receives additional support. And the lower portions aren't simply forgotten. We're trying to create a more complete light environment rather than relying entirely on what happens at the very top. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons Are the Currency I've said this many times throughout the 8×8 Adventure, but flowering is really where the relationship between light and plant structure becomes fascinating. Every photon that reaches a photosynthetic surface has the potential to contribute to the plant's energy production. But that doesn't mean: More light = automatically better. The plant still has to process that light. Temperature matters. Humidity matters. CO₂ matters. Leaf health matters. Root health matters. Water availability matters. Nutrition matters. Everything is connected. And that's why I like having the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting working as part of the overall system rather than simply increasing intensity without thinking about the rest of the environment. We're trying to give the plant useful light while maintaining the conditions necessary for her to actually make use of it. And Blueberry Muffin seems very happy with the arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Flowers, Flowers Everywhere The most rewarding part of this week's photographs is, without question, the flowers. They're becoming more obvious. More structured. More numerous. And increasingly confident. The pistils are still bright and prominent, but the buds themselves are starting to develop that unmistakable flowering architecture. This is the stage where the plant begins to transition visually from: "I have flowering sites." to: "I am building flowers." And Blueberry Muffin is doing exactly that. She's not rushing. She's not exploding upward. She's simply stacking one little piece onto another. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually we'll look back and wonder where all that floral mass came from. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stability Where We Can Control It One thing we're being particularly careful about this week is keeping irrigation and the root environment consistent. The current setup remains around: 💧 1.3 L per plant / 24 hours with the nutrient solution sitting around: 🌡️ 25°C and the substrate/root-zone temperature also around: 🌡️ 25°C These are the variables we can control much more directly than the outside summer temperature. So that's where the focus goes. If the room temperature moves a little because summer decides to remind us who's boss... Fine. We'll work with it. But there's no reason for the root zone, irrigation routine and nutrient delivery to become unstable at the same time. The more variables we can keep consistent, the easier it becomes to understand what the plants are actually telling us. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Don't Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding strategy also remains steady. We're not changing things simply because another week has passed. The plant is healthy. The foliage is beautifully green. The flowers are developing. There are no obvious signs telling me that she needs a dramatic intervention. So we're continuing with the established flowering nutrition: • Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required The goal isn't to chase numbers. The goal is to support the plant's current development and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. Sometimes the smartest adjustment... is making no adjustment at all. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Summer Challenge Our environmental target remains as close as possible to last week's conditions. We're currently around: • 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C • 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C • 💧 RH: ~60% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: ~25°C • 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h • ? Pot: 15 L • 📏 Height: ~75 cm Summer makes absolute precision difficult. One day gives us a little more heat. Another day gives us slightly less. The important thing is avoiding unnecessary swings and keeping the things we can control as consistent as possible. And so far... Blueberry Muffin is handling it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ A Compact Plant Has Its Advantages There's another reason I'm enjoying watching this phenotype. Her compact structure means she isn't creating the same vertical management challenges as some of the more vigorous plants in the room. She's occupying her space efficiently. The flowers are distributed across the plant. The canopy remains manageable. And because we're not dealing with an enormous stretch, it's easier to keep the lighting relationship consistent. This is one of those situations where different doesn't necessarily mean better or worse. It's simply... different. And that's exactly what the 8×8 Adventure is supposed to reveal. Twelve genetics. Twelve personalities. Twelve different ways of responding to essentially the same growing environment. Blueberry Muffin's personality continues to be: Compact. Calm. Slow and steady. But increasingly floral. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── ✨ Future of Grow + Lumiflora – Lighting the Way I also want to give another little spotlight to the lighting team this week. The Future of Grow LEDs continue doing their job above the canopy, providing the main source of light for this flowering room. And Lumiflora continues contributing additional photons where the canopy naturally becomes less exposed. I really enjoy seeing the difference this kind of layered lighting strategy can make. Instead of thinking about the plant as a flat surface... We're thinking in three dimensions. Top. Middle. Inside. Lower canopy. Every part has a different relationship with light. And while we can't make every flower receive identical intensity, we can certainly improve how photons are distributed throughout the plant. That's the goal. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better use of the light we have." And when I look at Blueberry Muffin's developing flowers... I think she's making very good use of it. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Observation Is Still the Most Important Tool At this stage, I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. We've built the plant. We've trained her. We've shaped the canopy. We've managed the foliage. We've established the lighting. We've established irrigation. We've established nutrition. Now we're watching. And that's sometimes the hardest part. Doing nothing can feel like you're not doing enough. But plants don't need us to touch them every day. Sometimes they just need: Good light. Water. Nutrition. Roots that can breathe. A stable environment. And time. Blueberry Muffin seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should become increasingly interesting. The plant remains compact, but the flowers are continuing to develop. The canopy is holding together beautifully. The lighting system is providing a strong and layered photon environment. The irrigation remains consistent. The nutrient programme remains stable. And we're simply going to continue watching. Summer may give us a degree here and there. That's okay. We'll do our best to keep everything else steady. Because the objective isn't to create a laboratory where nothing ever changes. The objective is to create an environment where the changes are small enough that we can understand them. And Blueberry Muffin? She's giving us a very clear message. She's not in a hurry. She's building. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let Her Be Herself I think that's probably the biggest lesson Blueberry Muffin is teaching me right now. Not every plant needs to be pushed. Not every phenotype needs to behave the same way. And not every slow-growing plant is a problem waiting to be solved. Sometimes... slow is simply slow. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's compact. And she's doing it all while the rest of the room is sometimes trying to run away from us. 😂 So we're going to respect her personality. We're going to keep the environment as stable as summer allows. We're going to keep the irrigation and root zone consistent. We're going to keep the nutrition steady. And we're going to continue giving her access to plenty of quality photons from the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting systems. Then we'll step back... and watch. Because eventually, that quiet little Blueberry Muffin is going to have her moment. And I think she's going to deserve every bit of the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and document this beautiful phenotype throughout the journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants through this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the main LED lighting powering this room and giving these plants the photons they need to keep building. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about lighting in three dimensions rather than simply from above. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week brings another little observation. Another comparison. Another lesson. And another reason to keep documenting. Blueberry Muffin may be one of the quieter girls in the room... But she's still writing her own story. And this week? She's doing it beautifully. Slow. Compact. Green. And increasingly covered in flowers. ?🌸💚 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

Smell is Even more amazing now al swellin up pretty good Bluezy has a lil lighter bud structure for now but started swellin up just now Dantes Inferno has already some good nuggs Tomb Rider is really headbound and a lil too close to the lamp Starting to lower the EC from 3 to 2.5 Starting With fade 2 days earlier than planed will give them a 5 day flush instead of 3

It was a great nine week flower, there were no issues during growth and was solid all around. The Spliff genetics is great with there signature colas.. the plants took to the nutrients very well, I thought I was running a little high on my ppm on beginning of grower but it all leveled out and nothing burned the leaves or bugs. I used general hydroponics flora pro series, with fish sh!t all the way threw!!!

Day 64 - Starting week 10 today and she was dried out and read for water so she got two gallons of plain pH’d water. Other than that, there’s not much to speak of other than I’ll do a little defoliating on Thursday so a couple lower bud sites will be opened up more. Day 68 - All looking good still and looking like she doesn’t have much more time left, she’s finishing quicker than I thought. Her trichs are about 75% milky and 25% clear so I think she’s got about 2 weeks or so left. She was pretty dry so she got one more round of nutes and then will be just plain water till the end. Day 69 - She’s still chugging along nicely. No issues from her feeding of nutes yesterday and she’s still fattening up each day. Couple little spots where she could definitely still fill in but she’s got a little bit of time left so I’m sure she will. Day 70 - The end of week 10 and looking over the trichs today, she’s just about all milky, was pretty hard to find any clear and picked out a couple amber in there. So it’s looking like she’s got a week or a little more left but will make my decision to chop when she has the amber I’m looking for, about 25-30%.

Welcome visitors to growfessor theatre! Tonight we have LSD and Green Crack entering their final week, 9F, with a flush! The LSD still has a strong fruity, citrus smell, lots of frost and is very sticky. The buds are not as large as I was hoping for, but they do seem to be very dense. Green Crack bulked up a lot last week and I'm very impressed with the size and density of the buds. She's also frosty and sticky, with a smell that is potent but hard to describe other than it smells like weed. Stay tuned for harvest, coming in 5-7 days! Thanks growfessors for stopping by 👽🌳💚

Vamos familia, actualizamos la sexta semana de crecimiento de estas NoName de Seedstockers. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. Esta semana ya cambiamos a 12 horas luz,12 horas de oscuridad, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también, el color es verde sano. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta hacen sus funciones. También realicé una poda de bajos que yo si las veo necesarias para explotar después la flor. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida ,descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Another week, girls made some nice progress. Some of the buds will be huge. I honestly don’t aim for the quantity but quality this time. HOEwever this should also be great producer so I’m very hyped about next 5 weeks. I feed rather less to avoid over feeding and it seems to be working just fine. ANY COMMENTS appreciated :) thanks

Transplanted her into a 3 gal air pot, added some mycorrhizae to the soil and watered her with pH'd water 6.0...

When should they start flowering?

Everything is growing well! Started some LST in the last couple weeks and really started opening up the canopy to get more colas.

I finally decided to chop. This grow had gone way longer than I anticipated but due to high temperatures through summer months I allowed it to veg till outdoor temps would finally stabilize to mid 80F°. This plant was really stretched considering it was stunted early on and small for the first month or 2 the odds were against it but it overcame it's environment and bad user inputs in my part I will be growing this strain again in the future. Hopefully I my skills as a grower have improved by the time I attempt a second go. I really like the smell this plant gives Purple ish candy with a gassy undertone almost like a skunk or og smell that lingers. It's large flowers are beautifully covered in trichomes with brilliant hues of purple and green all over. I will try to fill in more of the blank weeks now that it's down but please bare with me 32/33 weeks is a long time. Thank you all for your interest and support.

I haven't defoliated much at all through this entire grow, so I decided to do a thorough defoliation and cleaned out the entire lower canopy. I also removed the sucker branches and adjusted the nutrients for early bloom. I'm using Recharge and florakleen to flush between nutrient changes.

Not much to say about this real first grow week’s start. Everything looks ok, steady growth at 40% light. I had to restart the control app a few times, therefore the broken graphs. At night times, the control software tries to attain optimum humidity rather than optimum VPD. That’s why VPD is dropping when the lights are out. CO2 is back to baseline – really wonder what the reliable values are … I found I have to silence the blowers when a timelapse photo is being taken. The shaking you see at the beginning of the grow video should not appear, or to a much less degree, in the future. Day 13 (July 30th) shows good, steady growth. Leaves are a bit spotty, although less then the processed images show. Something to be worried about? I would not currently … All are developing their 3rd nodes now. The controlling Raspberry Pi crashed last night when I tried to access it remotely … ;( – looks like the Connect software is in need of an update. The leaf temperature sensor is now really aimed at lady-to-be nr. 1’s leaves. Nothing to change that I see. I won’t cut the top yet, just watered the outer circle of the big pots slightly to encourage root growth. Day 14: Nice growth. First plant is now at 11 cm, and at 12 cm on day 15. Nothing special to report so far, except for I had to move the internal camera a bit upwards to keep little lady #1 in focus. Day 16 and last day of this week (Aug 2nd): The young ladies are now at about 14 cm tall. Growth looks very compact though. I think the two inside girls will lose their heads next week; I’d still prefer to have one or two more nodes available. Pictures of this day are taken at the end of the plants’ day. Notice their leaves are pointing upwards, which should be a sign that they want more light. I turned the lights up by another 20% for a total of 60 W now. Weather was pretty hot the last days so it wasn’t possible to stay in optimum VPD range but as long as growth is this satisfying I don’t mind. I will water them slightly at their next day start. Outside plant’s soil humidity might still be at around 58% officially, but drying starts at around 40% with this measurement and the sensors are placed quite closely to the stems so outer soil is dryer. I am preparing the plant water with some additions and a frequency imprint suing some Solfeggio and Schumann frequencies.

Last week for these ladies. Kept the soil moisture levels very low leading up and did a final heavy de leaf of pretty much anything that doesn’t have trichomes growing on it and will be shutting the lights and turning the heat off for the last 48 hours. Keeping a lot of the sweet leaf on to keep the moisture throughout drying and will do a dry trim. Will be aiming to have a long slow drying period (12-15 days hanging) before I jar them up for curing. Won’t be adding many quality pictures this week since half the time they’re in the dark but will post harvest pictures as they come down :)

Another breezy week however, we had some hot weather here, temps were up to 34°c in the room for a day or so which caused a bit of tip burn. When plants are forced to transpire more in a high VPD scenario, one should reduce the EC of the water by 10-20%, this helps the plant take water easier through osmosis without taking up more nutrients than it needs, unfortunately as I spent most of last week high and didn’t notice it until the second day. Will start to post more pictures every week now they’re looking a bit more interesting 😁 EC is currently at 1.4 due to hot weather, and I’ve noticed when it hovers around 1.6, the EC drifts up to 1.7-1.8 after 3-4 days so thought it was best to cut it back a little. UVB during lights on will soon be introduced, possibly at the start of week 15. Thanks for stopping by!

Watch the videos.... THIS WAS MY 1ST INDOOR DWC GROW!!! Personally I think I didnt do to bad for making what I thought were crucial mistakes. 2 DAY FLUSH around 10.5 weeks to get salt build up out. Than 200ppm of forabloom. Took plant 1 week to eat up 100ppm and like 1/2 Gal of H2O. They started to change. Maybe bc of the nutrient drop cause premature maturity or it was entering senescence. However did not know it was in its final swell bc i never researched such a thing. Never crossed my mind that it can bud twice. SMH!!! But it had bloom nutes at that time. Than I did a real flush around 11 wks 2 days. Than been flushing and changing res every 5 to 6 days. Lower water to a gallon and dropped to 65F⁰ and 40% RH for this past week. Temps here in mid-atlantic are fluctuating bad. Gonna be 83 for a few days then drop down to 40s again smh. Did found 2 seedling pods forming soooo yeah. All Fine and Dandy! Gonna empty reservoirs of all H2O tn and let them sit in dark for 1 or 2 days than HARVEST! CLEAR- 20% CLOUDY- 70% JUST MY GUESS WITH MY LOUP AMBER- 10% Bc my 1st grow, did not really know gotta go 2-3wks past breeders date. With sativas, and sativa hybrid dominant strains, I will go Minimum of 13 wks and indica and their hybrid dominant strains, 11 wks. Than add or minus 1 or 2 wks depending on strain and environment conditions. I've seen 60 days flips and autos go for 100 days. I will be at DAY 90 OR 91 WHEN HARVESTED. HAPPY 🌲💨
