Sticky Rice is looking good so far. The leaves are a nice dark green and it's growing at a steady pace. I'm excited to see it get a little bigger so I can start training the branches. This strain's supposed to stretch a lot, so I want to make sure it has plenty of room to grow.

We’ve wrapped up the first day at the Cannabis Fair!

Okay, now they are really growing fast. I need to flip to flower!

Plants left pretty much unattended the entire week. pH spiked up to 6.5 during this time, might have to start looking at the pH every couple of days and correcting accordingly. So far, so good, leafs looking a little lime green, but it's been a long time since my last hydro grow, so I'll play it conservative and wait before I start increasing individual nutrients.

No food just Water. Flower 12/12 on 9-12-24 = (44 days) or (6 weeks 2 days)

2024-05-15 No big thing to report, The Planties doing well, established in the new Pot- I placed them in the youngsters room, so they will get stronger light, and gettting more solid structure. BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Pretty sure suffered some root rot .nice bright white roots thick coming from baskets hopefully 1 more week of veg and can switch to flower cycle

Growing strong cut 13clones today and transplanted the two biguns loving how they are turning out

Receive seeds from seedsman on jan 13

I divided the plant in four, it was hung up and dried at 19°C for 7 days. After that it was dry trimmed. Papaya Zoap F1 Fast Version: = 122 g buds + 20 g trimm = 142g

She went into dark on Sunday Feb 23rd, day 77, and was harvested on February 25th, day 79 from her coming out of the medium First run from Mesphisto and extremely happy with everything. It has not been without incident and she has had her fussiness. Overall this girl liked her nutrients on the lighter side.......liked her pH on the lower side........she doesn't want much light intensity for the first 4 weeks! She started off really slow in germination but then took off around weeks 3 to 6 and shot way up! She takes up a lot of room and will not yield four ounces of bud idea but she has grown into a beautiful tree looking girl. I was timid about bending her main stem because of slow growing early on but running her again, I would bend the main stem and train that as well. She is going to be a good producer for this strain and she makes you smile looking at her.......what more can you ask for😍 The colour change was not expected and was a great surprise. Love purple leaves! Still have 4 seeds of this girl to run again. It appears to me that on my pack of seeds the right grow for me is a 3 gal pot, keep her under T5 light for most of veg, give the whole girl LST, keep her tied down tight if she starts to take off in week 3 and 4, keep her pH in the 5.5 to 5.8 range for veg and early flower. Expecting smaller, hard, fire nuggets from her based on how she grew. Will follow up with more as she progresses through drying. In the box with temp at 62 to 66 degrees and humidity at 60%. Branches are not that long so I am expecting dry should be around 7 to 10 days. 😍

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 8 | Knowing When to Let Go Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Last week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A reminded me that every phenotype speaks its own language. This week, she had another message: Some leaves had simply done their job. At around 126 cm, she's continuing to develop beautifully, with her flowering sites becoming more defined and those beautiful white pistils multiplying across the plant. And as the flowers become the main event, it was time to give her a little more room to breathe. 🌿 Quick Recap Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of the more elegant plants in the room. She's maintained a strong, balanced structure with good spacing between flowering sites, while her flowers are steadily stacking along the branches. Compared with last week, the transition is becoming very clear: Less stretch. More flower. More pistils. More resin. The plant is increasingly putting her energy into building flowers rather than producing new structure. And that's exactly what we want to see at this stage. ✂️ A Little Cleaning Up This week we decided it was time for some selective defoliation. There were several older fan leaves that were no longer contributing much to the canopy. Some were sitting underneath other foliage, creating unnecessary shade, while others were simply aging and no longer playing an important role in the plant's current development. So rather than removing leaves just for the sake of making the plant look cleaner, we focused on removing what was no longer useful. The goal wasn't to strip her down. It was simply to improve: Light penetration Air movement Visibility of developing flowers Canopy organization Overall efficiency of the plant This is one of those moments where less really can be more. We're not trying to redesign the plant. We're simply helping her use the space she's already created. 🌸 White Hairs Taking Over The flowers are now becoming impossible to ignore. Fresh white pistils are emerging everywhere, wrapping around the developing buds and giving the entire plant that unmistakable early-to-mid flowering appearance. The individual flower sites are becoming much more pronounced, and the main colas are beginning to show their future shape. There's still plenty of development ahead, but we're moving beyond the stage of simply forming flowers. Now we're watching them build. And that's always one of my favourite parts of the journey. 🍃 The Foliage After last week's nutritional adjustment, the newer growth continues looking healthy and strong. The deep green leaves are still carrying plenty of energy, while the older foliage that had begun fading naturally is now being removed where appropriate. This is another good reminder of why I prefer to watch the whole plant rather than judge one leaf in isolation. A plant doesn't need every single leaf to remain perfect until harvest. Sometimes an older leaf has simply completed its mission. And that's okay. 🍽️ Feeding The AutoPot system continues providing consistent irrigation throughout the room. This week's nutrient mix remains: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus when required The reservoir remains shared across the room, so consistency is especially important. Chem Brûlée is responding beautifully to the current feeding strategy. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with very stable conditions: 🌡️ Day: 29°C 🌙 Night: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% 🌱 Root zone: 21°C 💦 Solution: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Stable conditions continue giving the plants the freedom to focus on what matters now: building flowers. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really show the transition. The close-ups capture those beautiful white pistils exploding from the developing flowers, while the wider shots show how much the plant has changed as flowering progresses. And after the selective defoliation, the architecture of the plant becomes easier to appreciate. The flowers aren't hidden behind quite as much unnecessary foliage anymore. They're there. They're developing. And they're asking for time. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week, I'm expecting the flowers to become increasingly dense and defined. The remaining stretch should be minimal now, while the plant continues putting energy into flower development and resin production. What I don't expect is dramatic intervention. No major training. No unnecessary stripping. No trying to force her into a shape she doesn't naturally want. We'll continue monitoring the foliage, keeping the environment stable, maintaining the reservoir and making only the adjustments the plant actually asks for. At this stage, the best thing we can give her is consistency and time. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me.

Esta semana tuvimos un poco de problemas con CalMag creemos, pero por lo general todo en orden las raizes tira bien...esperemos a continuación cómo transcurre Farmers!🌱

Mein erster versuch main-lining anzuwenden 😊 Lemon Cherry Gelatos haben mittlerweile 8 headbuds pro plant Denke mal werde sie noch einmal toppen um 16 headbuds zu erhalten

113 days from seed in tiny pot 1 lt, the best smelling in my tent floral and diesel ⛽

They are plodding along in the 2x4 tent, waiting for space in the drying tent. The tent should be free in about 7 days then I can up the ppfd and give them a better environment. Cant control the high humidity in this small tent 10.2.25 Ppfd 800ish Dli 34 15.2.25 Jelly 44cm Jelly 74 Slurricane 75cm

Happy GrowingHarvested at 15 weeks and the royal runtz will be a staple in my tent from here on exactly what I like to smoke the taste the buzz is perfect high and I'm a Head 💯 since birth so. The plant was a bit hollow didn't produce much all my errors I'm pretty positive but damn It is good . I also ran a sherbet queen . It is the opposite of what I really like I don't care for that cookie lemon mild high on the other hand it produced double and is still good smoke just for my preferences lacking ice got it hanging in a dark closet ac blasting and small fan circulating air . Then I'll jar it and maybe if let it cure a week or two if I can . Maybe also sherb top was 100 gs fresh and Runtz top was 60 gs fresh cut also I think I really did damage more than good in the flush process

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 7 | Finally Joining the Flower Party Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. Every plant receives the same care, allowing genetics to become the true variable. It has been incredible watching each cultivar—and even different phenotypes of the same strain—express their own unique personality. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED. After taking her time compared to the rest of the room, this week she finally decided it was time to move forward. Sometimes patience is rewarded. And this week, she certainly rewarded it. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development This is the week I'm officially considering her first week of flowering. Although we're already seven weeks from seed, this phenotype followed her own schedule from the very beginning. While the rest of the room has been well into flower for some time, she spent longer building her structure before making the transition. The exciting part is just how quickly she has responded once flowering began. Fresh white pistils are now appearing everywhere, the tops are becoming much more defined, and every day she seems a little more committed to producing flowers. She may have arrived late... ...but she's certainly not wasting any time now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 From Slow Starter to Fast Mover One of the biggest changes this week is her overall appearance. The lighter colour from previous weeks has completely disappeared, and she now carries a rich, healthy green from top to bottom. The foliage looks vibrant, balanced and full of energy, with no signs of nutritional deficiencies. Seeing that transformation is incredibly satisfying. It confirms that sometimes all a plant really needs is time. For several weeks she was easily one of the slowest plants in the room, but once she decided to flower, her pace changed dramatically. It's almost as though she's trying to catch up with her sisters. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Pheno B continues showing a very different personality compared to her sister. Both plants are actually quite similar in height, but that's where the similarities begin to fade. While Pheno A developed a more open structure, Pheno B has become much bushier and denser, producing a compact canopy with very tight internodal spacing. The Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has created a beautiful, even framework, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure despite her naturally dense growth habit. She's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She's becoming one of the fullest. It will be fascinating to see how this compact structure influences bud development over the coming weeks. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for this important transition into flowering. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Keeping these conditions stable allows each phenotype to express its own genetic potential without unnecessary environmental stress. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding As flowering begins, her feeding programme has now moved forward alongside the rest of the room. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The richer green foliage and healthy new growth suggest she's very comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and I'll continue monitoring her closely as flower production accelerates. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs capture a plant that finally seems confident about the direction she's taking. The close-up shots show clusters of bright white pistils emerging from every growing tip, while the wider photographs reveal just how compact and symmetrical her structure has become. One thing that immediately stands out is the colour. Compared to previous weeks, the foliage is noticeably healthier, richer and more vibrant. She may have been quiet for the first part of this adventure... ...but she's beginning to steal a little attention now. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead Now that flowering has officially begun, I'm excited to see how this phenotype develops over the next few weeks. Will she remain compact and produce dense, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with a stronger flowering stretch before settling into bud production? That's one of the reasons I love documenting different phenotypes. Even sisters can tell completely different stories. Whatever happens next, she'll decide the pace—and I'll simply continue giving her everything she needs to become the best version of herself. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that growing isn't just about harvesting beautiful flowers. It's about observing, learning and appreciating the incredible diversity that exists within genetics. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document every lesson and share their experiences with such an amazing community. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Blueberry Muffin genetics. Watching two sister phenotypes develop into such different plants has been one of the highlights of this project. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow and helps these plants express their full potential. And thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire 8×8 Adventure from seed to harvest. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following along. Your support makes documenting this journey even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers everywhere. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues writing her own unique story. 💚🌱
