👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 6 | Wearing the Crown with Confidence Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! There are always a few plants in every grow that naturally draw your attention. Not because they're demanding it... But because they quietly command it. Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of those plants. Now standing at approximately 90 cm, she's become one of the tallest ladies in the room, carrying herself with a strong, elegant structure while moving confidently deeper into early flower. Every week she seems to add another layer to her personality. And this week, she revealed one of my favourite characteristics yet. 🌱 Growing Her Own Story For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than providing a long vegetative period before flowering, every seedling receives twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very beginning of life. Instead of deciding when flowering begins... ...I allow each phenotype to decide for herself. Some race into bloom. Others take their time building structure before committing their energy to reproduction. Watching those different strategies unfold inside the very same environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this project. Nature always has her own plans. 👑 A Crown Begins to Form Flowering is now becoming impossible to miss. The main apex is beginning to stack fresh white pistils while the secondary branches are quickly following behind. Every growing tip is slowly transforming from vegetative growth into future flowers. Although these buds are still small, you can already start to imagine the shape they'll eventually become. This is one of my favourite stages of every grow. Each morning brings noticeable progress. Each day the plant looks just a little different than she did the day before. The excitement only continues to build. 🍃 Nine Fingers of Beauty One feature immediately caught my attention this week. Those incredible nine-fingered fan leaves. Large. Wide. Deep green. Absolutely beautiful. It's a question growers often ask: Do nine-fingered leaves mean indica or sativa? The honest answer is... Not necessarily. Leaf shape and leaflet count are influenced by both genetics and environmental conditions. While broad nine-fingered leaves are often associated with vigorous indica-leaning plants because of their wider leaflets, sativas and hybrids can produce nine, eleven, or even thirteen-fingered leaves as well when they're thriving. Rather than acting as a reliable indicator of lineage, high leaflet counts are often simply a sign that the plant is healthy, mature, and growing vigorously. In many ways, they're like a badge of confidence. When a plant has everything she needs—healthy roots, stable nutrition, proper lighting, and a balanced environment—she has the energy to produce these large solar panels that capture tremendous amounts of light. And that's exactly what these leaves are. Tiny power stations. Every one of them working around the clock to fuel the flowers that are only just beginning. 🌿 Strong Structure, Gentle Guidance Standing around 90 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has continued stretching while maintaining excellent branch spacing throughout the canopy. The weeks of gentle Low Stress Training are paying off beautifully. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, the goal has simply been to open the canopy and allow every future flower site its opportunity to receive direct light. Only small adjustments continue to be made. A little leaf tucking here. A gentle repositioning there. Sometimes the smallest interventions produce the biggest rewards later in flower. 🍽️ Feeding for the Next Chapter As flowering continues establishing itself, the nutrition program remains focused on supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower production. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be delivered through the AutoPot system, allowing the AquaValve to provide nutrient solution only when the plant has actually consumed what was previously available. One of my favourite aspects of AutoPots is their simplicity. The plant decides when she drinks. I simply make sure the reservoir gives her everything she needs. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Consistency continues to be one of the strongest foundations of this grow. This week's averages included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity has now been reduced slightly compared to previous weeks as flowering becomes more established, helping prepare the environment for healthy flower development while maintaining vigorous growth during the final stretch. Healthy gardens aren't built through dramatic changes. They're built through hundreds of small, consistent decisions. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell the story perfectly. The close-up shots capture clusters of fresh white pistils appearing across the tops of nearly every branch. The side profile highlights her impressive vertical growth and elegant branch spacing. And perhaps my favourite photograph of the week... ...that enormous nine-fingered fan leaf. Sometimes one leaf says everything you need to know about a plant's health. It almost looks too perfect to be real. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect the vertical stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small pistil clusters should begin merging into recognizable bud sites while resin production quietly prepares to make its first appearance. Training will remain minimal, allowing the plant's natural architecture to continue doing most of the work. Something tells me this lady is only just getting started. And if her early performance is any indication... She's planning to live up to her name. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these plants remind me that growing isn't about controlling nature. It's about creating the conditions that allow nature to express itself. Watching each phenotype reveal its own character has been one of the greatest joys of this entire project, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone sharing the journey alongside me. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers around the world can document their progress, learn from one another, and inspire the next generation of home growers. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrients supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that powers every leaf, every branch, and every flower. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment twenty-four hours a day. And finally... Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, leaves a comment, asks a question, shares advice, or simply stops by to see how the garden is evolving. Every update becomes a little more meaningful because it's shared with this amazing community. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues growing into the queen she's already beginning to look like. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Blue is doing well so far but she's still a lil bit small with only 40 cm. Keep it IZI 💚 💚 💚

Move the plants outside first week of flower

Quelle manifique plante

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)

I'm very happy I've already got 107 grams out. I still have 2 plants drying and I'm excited to see how they turn out😊😊💚

I flushed my monster plant we are starting late flowering so i wanna make sure that there is no nutrient build up. And to make sure that shes gonna end up like a Bomb. Smell is good but not too strong. So the plant is perfect i have nothing to say

Some heavy hitter 💯🔥🚀

*Increased Ppm from 750 to 800 *1st week of flowering actually Tomorrow is :D * I got different phenols. Ones short, ones wide, and the other one is a mixture of both let’s see which one comes out better.

Die Ladys sind jetzt ordentlich am wachsen

Week 9 for Amnesia Zkittlez by fastbuds Buds really starting to bulk up now really was worried about this strain with how thin she was but now that's changing😎 Shes handling the 35 degrees sun like a boss as well😁 Quite surprising how little water these girls drink... still only got fed once this week with a bit of (WCA) Water Soluble Calcium & (FFJ) Fermented fruit juice for its last few weeks of life now. Got a few yellow leaves after feeding the WCA wonder if its related...

Harvested the Clones! I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner! With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on.. It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.

What a pleasure to see, to smell, and to grow, wonderful and magic strain, absolutely in love with the pure OG aroma, very strong, absolute gassy very powerful aroma, flowers completely covered in resin, super sticky, I just love tjis genetic man, always gotta have some OG in the garden this is the prove 💎❄️ peace guys ✌️💚

I forgot to soak the coco with nutrients before planting the seed, didn't realise coco doesn't have as many nutes to start off so that's why we're looking abit pale, had no idea about his haha But it's all good! We can sort it. they looking like there improving past few days. Watered every day 1 litre around the outside in a circle and the stem. Added calmag grow nutes and voodoo juice. Colour is coming back to the leaves Will keep doing this for next few days while there recovering. 🚑🏥
