Total days above ground: 63 Total flower nights: 24 Just beyond 3 weeks into flower and the plants are showing their potential. Three Animal Mints are lookingn strong. AM3 may have a highe rleaf ratio around buds, but should be some nice colas even if a bit more work to trim than the others. This strain is probably the most consistent pheno-to-pheno of the three, but Kush Mints is quite consistent too. All of the MSNL plants are robust and strong. Second grow with excellent results from this breeder. I did not pay for these seeds, but I am not a shill, either. If one of them grew all whacky like the mountaintop mint, I'd voice the same complaints. The clearly care about such traits in their selection process. Overall the canopy has filled in nicely. I have a couple spots where light is wasted and I'll make some adjustments to the process to fix that for future grows. Now that I've settled on plant size and number of plants, improvements can be made each cycle until it's clockwork. I like the 12-cola vs 8 cola experiement. I've got a fairly long list of edits to make to various sections of my "bible," which means I liked the outcomes of most of my incremental adjustments. Continual, systematic improvement in action... One other incremental change on the docket but not yet realized will be dropping nutrient concnetration once vegetative growth ends. Exact timing will be based on what I see in the foliage. I see some minor tip curl and its a bit darker than I want. So, it may come sooner than later. This'll be something I tweak over the next few grow cycles until I'm happy with the late-flower health. I'll drop fertilizer concentration 10-15% on next refill and see how that plays out. It'll take a couple refills of reservoir to near 100% transition without draining it. If necessary, I'll drain and do a full refill for more pressing needs. A rez scrub before final stretch is coming, regardless. Side note: The impacts of VPD can be enormous. Last year (2025-2 diary) I had a humidifier wick get fouled and RH dropped while VPD spiked for more than a few days, thinking I could power through or that the canopy would soon provide more moisture. Nope, growth stalled in a significant way. By comparing day 34-42-49 of 2025-2 and day 38-42-49 of this diary, I can see a huge difference in growth at same point above ground. The consitency with which i do things makes it fairly certain it's the extende period with extremely high VPDs that caused the difference. Also, interesting that it mostly catches back up by completion of third week of flower. The size difference is nearly undone by this point, though 2025-2 took 4 days longer vege phase to get there. Even so, I still think this grow is more than 4 days ahead of 2025-2 (the difference in vegetative phae duration). Time will tell if the development is ahead of the pace in 2025-2 or whether it's simply mostly an offset due to a less efficient vege phase for 2025-2.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 10 | The Queen Has No Patience for Empty Plates 😂👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And, well... I have to start this week's report with an apology. I did it again. 😂 Somehow, once again, the individual photographs of our Queen have disappeared into the mysterious photographic universe. I have absolutely no idea what I did. I'm starting to suspect that Godfather OG Pheno A has personally decided that she doesn't need individual portraits anymore. She's basically saying: "You already know who I am. Look at the whole room." 😂👑 And fortunately, we do have photographs of the entire room. She's right there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And honestly? She's looking beautiful. So although I don't have the individual photo collection I wanted for this week's update, I certainly haven't lost sight of her. She's still one of the girls that immediately gets my attention when I walk into the 8×8. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still a little angry with me from time to time. 😂 And she's still growing absolutely amazingly. So let's give this Queen the spotlight she deserves anyway. Because photographs or not... you can't really hide the Queen. 👑🌿🔥 🌱 Week 10 – Still Growing Her Own Way Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop and look. She's tall. She's strong. She's demanding. And she has absolutely no interest in behaving like everybody else in the room. That's one of the things I've enjoyed most about watching her throughout this adventure. She's never really tried to make things easy for me. 😂👑 But at the same time... she keeps rewarding the attention. She's growing. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's consuming everything the environment gives her. And she's continuing to show us that very distinctive personality that we've been documenting from the beginning. The Queen may be demanding... but she's productive. And that's a pretty good combination. 👑 Still Demanding – Still Hungry Let's talk about the elephant in the room. This girl eats. 😂🍽️🌿 She's one of those phenotypes where I look at what we're providing and think: "Okay... that's gone already?" She's hungry. She's using the resources available to her. She's growing strongly. And she continues to give me the impression that, if given the opportunity, she'd happily sit down at the table and finish everybody else's dinner too. 😂 This is one of the things that makes her interesting in a room containing so many different genetics. We're not running twelve completely different feeding programmes. We're giving the room a consistent foundation and observing how each plant responds. And Godfather OG Pheno A is making her response very clear: "I can use more." That's useful information. I'm watching her closely, because there's a difference between a plant that is genuinely demanding and one that is simply showing a slightly different expression. With this girl, the appetite has been remarkably consistent. And yet... she keeps growing beautifully. So the Queen remains on the watch list. 👀👑 🌿 The Anger Is Part of the Personality 😂 She's still a little angry. I'm not even going to argue with her anymore. 😂 Some plants politely ask. Some plants quietly suggest. Godfather OG Pheno A seems to send official royal correspondence. "I require more." 😂👑📜 But underneath the drama, what matters is that she's continuing to develop extremely well. She's not sitting there stalled. She's not giving up. She's not stopping. She's actively building. And that's why I continue to find her so fascinating. She can challenge me while simultaneously showing me that she's perfectly capable of turning that environment into growth. That's a phenotype worth paying attention to. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Moving Forward And even without her individual close-up photographs this week, the wider room images still give us something important. She's flowering beautifully. The structures continue developing. The flowers are becoming more established. And the plant is moving deeper into the stage where all that earlier structural growth starts paying off. This is where I really enjoy looking back through the diary. Because the plant we saw earlier in the run isn't the same plant we're looking at now. The framework is already there. The branches are established. The flowering sites have developed. And now we're watching those sites become increasingly meaningful flowers. She's doing exactly what I want to see from her. Not necessarily behaving perfectly... but developing beautifully. And honestly? I'll take that every time. 💡 The Queen Is Catching Photons And once again, we have to talk about photons. Because this week, more than ever, I find myself thinking about the relationship between this girl's appetite and the amount of light she's receiving. Every second that the lights are running, photons are moving through the canopy. We can't see them. But the plant can use them. Leaves intercept that light. Photosynthetic machinery converts that captured energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the enormous collection of processes happening inside the plant. Growth. Maintenance. Water movement. Development. Flower formation. Everything is connected. And Godfather OG Pheno A appears to be making a serious effort to capture as many of those photons as possible. ☀️💡🌿 She's got a large structure. She's got plenty of foliage. She's got flowers distributed through that structure. And she's hungry for resources. So when I look at her, I don't just see a tall flowering plant. I see a three-dimensional photon-capturing machine. And she's working. ☀️ More Than Just Light From Above The lighting philosophy in this room is also about more than simply throwing photons at the top of the canopy. The main Black Series LEDs provide the primary illumination. Then we have additional lighting helping reach areas deeper inside the plants and lower down in the canopy. That matters because a plant like Godfather OG Pheno A isn't a perfectly flat surface. She's tall. She's layered. She's got branches occupying different heights. She's got flowers positioned at different angles. So the photons entering the room encounter a complex three-dimensional structure. Some are intercepted immediately. Others travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some are absorbed by leaves. Some pass through gaps. And that's part of what makes the lighting environment so interesting in this project. We're not just lighting a canopy. We're illuminating a jungle. 😂🌿💡 💡 Photons + Plant Architecture This is also where genetics become fascinating. Two plants can receive essentially the same lighting environment... and use it completely differently. A compact phenotype creates one type of canopy. A tall phenotype creates another. An open plant allows photons to travel differently from a dense one. And Godfather OG Pheno A has built herself a very particular architecture. She's tall. She's substantial. She's got plenty happening throughout the vertical space. And she's clearly making use of it. That's why I don't want to look at the lighting only as a number. I want to look at the relationship between: 💡 Light 🌿 Architecture 🍃 Leaf area 🌸 Flower distribution 💨 Air movement 🌡️ Environment ⚗️ Nutrition All of these things interact. And this Queen is giving us a particularly interesting example of what happens when a hungry phenotype gets access to a stable environment and plenty of photons. 🌸 She's Turning Light Into Something Beautiful And that's ultimately what we're watching. The photons themselves aren't the interesting part. The interesting part is what the plant does with them. We see the result in the leaves. We see it in the growth. We see it in the developing flowers. We see it in the overall structure. The invisible becomes visible. And when I walk into the room and see Godfather OG Pheno A continuing to develop, that's what I think about. All that light. All that captured energy. All those resources. Being turned into a living, flowering plant. That's pretty damn cool. 💡🌿👑 🌿 Still the Queen of Her Own Space She's also maintaining that unmistakable presence she's had throughout the grow. At around 169 cm, she's one of the taller girls in the room. And she uses that height. She doesn't just occupy vertical space. She fills it. The structure gives her plenty of places to develop flowers, while her foliage continues supporting the plant. She's not trying to be compact. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's simply being Godfather OG Pheno A. And that's exactly what I want from this experiment. I don't want twelve identical plants. I want twelve stories. And this Queen has certainly given us one. 💨 Keeping the Environment Working With Her As the flowers continue developing, maintaining the relationship between the canopy and the environment becomes increasingly important. A large plant creates its own little weather system inside the canopy. Leaves transpire. Air moves. Humidity changes locally. Temperature interacts with the surrounding environment. And all of those factors matter more as flowering structures become larger. So the objective remains the same: keep the room stable and allow the plant to work. Good air movement. Consistent environmental conditions. Appropriate light. Stable root-zone conditions. And observation. We're not trying to micromanage every leaf. We're trying to maintain a system where the plant can do what it has clearly decided to do. Grow. Flower. Eat. And apparently complain. 😂👑 ⚗️ Feeding – The Queen Still Wants Seconds The shared nutrition strategy remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current room values remain around: pH ~6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And once again, Godfather OG Pheno A is making it clear that she's one of the hungrier phenotypes in the room. I'm not going to turn that observation into an automatic recipe change. The plant gets watched as a whole. Her growth. Her flowers. Her foliage. Her overall progression. Her response over time. But yes... if plants could talk, I have a feeling this one would be asking for a larger menu. 😂🍽️👑 🌡️ The Room Remains Her Foundation The environment continues to sit around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 RH: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: ~1.4 L/plant/24h And once again, the numbers are only part of the story. The real story is the response. And her response is: I'm growing. That's what I want to hear. 📸 Yes... I Lost Her Photos Again. 😂 Okay. Let's address this properly. I'm sorry. 😂📸👑 Somehow, the individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A from last week and this week seem to have ended up together, somewhere, in some folder that apparently exists in another dimension. I have photographs of the other girls. Plenty of them. The whole room is documented. She's visible in those wider photographs. But her dedicated individual photographs? Gone. Again. I genuinely have no idea how I managed this twice. So to everybody following her diary: my true apologies. 💚 I know the individual photographs are an important part of these weekly updates, especially when we're documenting a phenotype separately. And I promise: Next week, the Queen gets her portrait session. No excuses. No mysterious folders. No photographic disappearances. 😂📸👑 I'm putting her back on the priority list. 🌿 But Look at Her in the Jungle The good news is that the wider room photographs still show something important. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. And she's looking beautiful. Sometimes seeing the plant within the whole ecosystem actually tells us something that a close-up can't. You see her relationship with the surrounding plants. You see the scale. You see the canopy. You see where she sits inside the room. And you can appreciate how much structure she's built. So while I'm definitely disappointed that I don't have her individual photographs... I'm not disappointed with the plant. Not even remotely. She's doing fantastic. 🔬 Another Week of Phenotype Hunting This is another week where Godfather OG Pheno A reminds me why this project exists. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're watching how they respond to a shared foundation. And this girl has given us a very clear identity. She's: 👑 Tall 🍽️ Hungry 🌿 Vigorous 🌸 Productive 💡 Light-hungry 😂 Demanding 🔥 Beautiful And somehow... she continues to make me smile every time I check on her. Even when she's angry. Especially when she's angry. 😂👑 Because the challenge is part of the personality. 🔮 Where Does the Queen Go From Here? That's the question now. She's already established herself. She's already shown us her appetite. She's already shown us her structure. She's already shown us that she's capable of developing beautiful flowers. Now I want to see what happens as those flowers continue to mature. How much more will they develop? How will her aroma progress? How will her resin expression develop? How will the overall plant finish? And perhaps most importantly... how much more food is this woman going to ask for? 😂🍽️ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. We'll watch. We'll document. We'll adapt when necessary. And we'll let her tell us. 💭 Final Thoughts – The Queen Doesn't Need a Portrait to Rule So... Week 10. No individual photographs. Again. I'm sorry. 😂💚 But the Queen is still here. She's still standing tall. She's still demanding. She's still hungry. She's still capturing photons. She's still developing flowers. And she's still looking absolutely beautiful. The wider photographs show her within the jungle. The environment is stable. The lighting is doing its job. The photons keep flying. And this girl keeps catching as many as she possibly can. She's eating everything she can. She's growing everything she can. She's taking the environment we've given her and turning it into her own expression. And honestly? I couldn't ask for a more interesting phenotype to follow. She doesn't make things boring. 😂👑 So this week, even without the individual portraits... the spotlight remains firmly on her. Because she deserves it. And next week? I promise. Portraits. The Queen is getting her photographs back. 📸👑😂 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering this jungle and keeping those photons flying. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. This adventure continues to be one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. One jungle. And so many personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. She may be angry. She may be demanding. She may eat everything in sight. She may have fired her photographer two weeks in a row. 😂📸 But she's also growing beautifully. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's catching photons. She's using the environment. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give the Queen her spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see where this hungry, demanding, beautiful girl takes us next. 👑🌿💡🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 And I promise... next week, the Queen gets her damn photographs. 😂📸👑

En esta semana mantendré todavía los Led por 24 horas al día, el EC lo tendré a 2,5, el PH tratare de mejorarlo, todavía lo tengo a 6,3 mas o menos. Las plantitas están creciendo bien, ya se ven las puntas de las raíces saliendo del substrato y tocando el agua. Para el fin de semana próximo cambiaré la solucion nutritiva y bajaré el nivel del agua. Decidí también poner un generador de CO2 casero(bidón con agua, levadura, azúcar y pulpa de tomates) consejo de mis amigos de zamnesia. En la semana nos iremos actualizando.

Okay so pk boost and as with everything else in this grow, it’s a week behind what it really should be, so I may have hit the tropicanna poison with a PK Boost too late, where as, for the orange hill special and frosted guava it’s probably a little early but hey ho - you gotta compromise with the Autopot system if you are growing multiple strains that are really quite different in terms of gene pool. Edit: okay so it’s 4 days later and it ALMOST looks like a different plant! Its colours are coming out now. As you can see, some of the side branches pistols are turning orange and there is even some colour turning up at the edges of the swollen calyxes. I don’t think I will get too much light penetration to be honest, due to the fact that it’s too crouded in there - it’s so easy to forget how big they get when you first veg them! (Particularly as it’s my first grow in months and first photo grow in years!) Next time I will just make sure I germ the seeds at the same time - although, it wasn’t really my fault, per sé. This is definitely the most advanced plant for sure…then the NYC diesel. Edit: so I noticed that my tall tower fan broke AGAIN and so I decided to buy a clip on I think it’s an 8” one that rotates - it’ll probably stop rotating after a while but the reviews say 18 months in after having bought the product, it still works fine, just doesn’t swivel. Tbh, it’s cheap enough to if it breaks then I can just replace it - it should def last longer than a tower fan that’s been flooded with 10-15l of water! Twice! So I can’t say I’m hugely shocked… For now, iv taken the fan that is a clip on that I was using for the extraction of my drying tent - it’s surprisingly powerful for such a small USB powered fan tbf!

May 12, 2024 Day 22 A new week. A new watering and some noticable size and progress differences. Let's get to it. Sour Diesel A: She looks really good. About 5.5" and fairly strong. I expect her to harden off nicely. Sour Diesel B: By the most noticable difference in the bunch. This lady is a whole node ahead of the others. She looks amazing. I wonder if she is going to tower over the rest. I'll have to really focus on LST in the coming weeks. She already has a really stiff stem. Thick as well for her size. I'll have to be careful with the initial bend. She's also a out 6" tall. Not much taller than the others, but the ratio is noticable. Sour Diesel C: Just the same as Sour Diesel A. About 5.5" tall, great color and a pretty strong stem. Nothing really noticable between the two for now. Sour Diesel D: She is about 5" now. A bit shorter and a bit behind. However, she is about the same strength and progression as A and C. She will most likely end up small. So I'm definitely giving her her own tent. Sour Diesel B is getting a bit wide now. She's starting to get to the edge of the container. I need that not to happen yet. I won't have space on 4 days. Eek! I'll see how things go. The rest aren't that far behind either. They are just about at the edge of the container. Not as bad, and they won't be much of an issue for the next couple of days. All four plants got 1/4 gallon top watering today. I don't like to flood the soil as my bottom feed system does not. So it makes sense to start low and work my way up. Eventually they will take in about a gallon a day. But by then, they will be well off on their bottom feed systems. Anyway, 1/4 gallon plain tap water each. I've set the DLI to 25 mol/m²/d for the week. I don't think it's going to stay like that for very long. I don't have top space left and this is not a dimming light. So if I have to I can only drop the light down. The environment is looking excellent. I stopped using the humidifier since the watering brought the humidity up to 70% all on its own. I'll have it down to 60% by the end of the week. For now it's nearly perfect with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 71%. The night temp is a bit low for this stage. It's 64° at night. Very low. I'd rather it be closer to 70° during lights out. As soon as they go in the 3x3, it will be fine at 70° during lights out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 72.7% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much to do today. No watering needed, no light changes, no pics. Just planning out LST starting in the next day or 2, especially for Sour Diesel B. She is growing quickly and is starting to grow over her container rim. Sour Diesel A looks great! Long base stem, nodes are a bit tight, but it's not the light. It's just how she's growing for now. I expect her to stretch those nodes out in no time. Sour Diesel B is shaping out to be a pretty vigorous plant. If she keeps this up, she may end up towering over the other plants. I'll have to work on a plan of action. Most likely more LST and maybe a SCroG net for the stretch. Just to keep things low and level with the rest of the canopy. I plan on tying her top down at node 4. It's just starting, but it's super pliable and will be tall enough in a day or two. Sour Diesel C is just the same as A. She is sporting shorter internodal spacing but has a nice long base stem. Much easier to get under the plant when defoliation time comes. Sour Diesel D. Now this plant is still behind the others. She has the same tight internodal spacing like A and C, but smaller. Depending on what happens with how these plants grow, I might be able to keep her in the main tent with the rest of the plants. However, if she ends up too short or if B ends up being too tall, she's going in the 2x2. Hopefully she will end up as big as the others and I can put my 2x2 away for now. The light is going to stay the same while in the veg tent. I can't turn it down, nor can I lift it any higher, so the plants will have to naturally grow into it for the time being. It's should be perfectly fine. Plus it's only for a few more days. I'll be harvesting a couple of Tropicana Cookies in a couple of days and that'll open up plenty of space for these 4 smaller plants without cramming them in. That's where my only concern with Sour Diesel B comes in. She may grow faster and be too big to fit in the tent with the other 5 plants. I hope not. I have a final 2 plants almost ready for harvest in the 3x3. They aren't huge, so they shouldn't really overshadow these ladies. At least not much. The environment is spot on. 77° and 72% humidity. Night time is fine I guess. Kind of cold in my opinion. It's at 67° on average at night with a low of 63.4° and a high of 73.7°. That's for lights out. Daytime is perfectly fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 14, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pics and a water weight check. Still heavy. The solo pics will be every other day and the Veg Tent pic will be everyday with the grow day marked. Sour Diesel A is stretching nicely now. She can start training in a couple days. Great color. Beautiful leaves. Sour Diesel B is amazing. She's growing out now and has a strong stem. The very top is pliable. Not great for training. I might have to wait for a bit more stretch from her. She has some excellent internodal spacing. Perfect greens and 7 finger leaves. A great sign for a healthy plant. She's definitely going to be the star of this show. But who knows. Sometimes, another plant will shoot up out of nowhere. It's happened to me. One plant looked great while the other had some early stress. That one turned into a 21 oz monster. Insane. Anyway, there you have it. Right now any of them to could just take off, but I'm putting my money with this lady. Sour Diesel C still has some tight internodal spacing. I need to wait for her to start stretching so she can begin training. We'll see when that will be. Great colors and super healthy, just growing differently for now. Sour Diesel D is the definite runt of the bunch. She's not far behind though and I may actually get to keep her in the tent with the rest and put my veg tent away for the next 6 or 7 weeks. Still, I have the option of keeping it out and using it to keep space open for all plants. 3 in a 3x3 would leave tons of room for them to bush out and fill the canopy. Anyway, great color and very healthy regardless of size. She still may produce a good yield. The light will stay the same as always. They all have a slight reach going on and I couldn't be happier. I'll run a DLI check before I move them to the big tent. So I know what light level to start at. The environment is looking great! The temp is at a nice 77° and the humidity is right at 72%. That will drop when they get in the 3x3. I'll keep it at 60% for the rest of the Veg cycle. I'd also like to note about the medium. This is super soil I think. Or it's just loaded with nutrients. Happily all of the plants too swimmingly to it with no stress. My only thing is with adding nutrients. I don't really have any veg nutrients at the moment, but as this is hot soil, I don't think I'll need any for the veg cycle anyway. However, flowering may be a different story. I have Advanced Nutrients Big Bud, Bud Candy, Overdrive, Sensi Cal/Mag Xtra, Tasty Terpenes and B-52. I think I'll use them. I could use the B-52 during veg, but as I said, this is hot soil. So unless they show signs of deficiency during Veg, I won't add it. No sense in overdoing it. These are autoflowers and don't need a ton of nutrients. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 74.9% VPD: 0.78 kPa May 15, 2024 All 4 ladies got a quarter gallon of water today. I forgot to PH it, so that's a mistake. I will definitely remember next time. Tap water is 7.3. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her branches are growing nicely and fast. She has nearly caught up with B, but she's still 1 node behind. This one seems to be a straight hybrid phenome. Sour Diesel B looks amazing! She has doubled in size and her branches are about half way to the edge of the container. Very exciting. This is a sativa dominant phenome. Sour Diesel C also looks great. She still has the tight internodal spacing, but it's getting better. She looks to be the same phenome as A is. Sour Diesel D is a straight up indica dominant phenome. Her leaves are super wide compared to the other plants. She is still smaller, but not by a lot. Branching hasn't really started yet. Not like A and B. All four plants are super healthy with perfectly green leaves. Their stems are pretty strong. Especially B. Her stem is very close to being unable to train. We shall see. I may be just pulling the side branches out and defoliating that one. The light seems to still be perfect. Slight praying on the outside and perfect on the inside. I rotated B because of this. She was starting to pull towards the light. I may be able to drop it down a smidge for a bit more intensity. They should be able to handle it and maybe grow even faster. I just don't want squat plants. Not leggy either. Where they are at is just right. The environment hasn't given me a problem yet. Temp remains in the high 70°s and the humidity stays just around 70%. I think I'm going to drop it a bit earlier than I intended. I think it's time for the humidity to be closer to 60%. The temp will definitely stay the same, if not climb to the very low 80°s. The night time environment is a bit cold running at and average of 66.8° with the humidity climbing up to 80%. Once I drop humidity, the temp should increase. And once they get in the 3x3 tent, they won't have any problems keeping it at 60% and 77°. The night temp should also increase slightly. I'm hoping for 68° to 69° average and I'd like the humidity to remain at 60%. Shouldn't be a problem. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.5° RH: 71.2% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 16, 2024 All 4 ladies are showing vigor. They will definitely need water tomorrow, but are all very happy plants. Huge leaves, strong stems. Beautiful color green. Sour Diesel A is now the second best of the 4. She's a little shorter than B, but has started spreading her branches and stretching to spread that internodal spacing. She looks great! Sour Diesel B is absolutely stunning. She has beautiful leaves of a lush green. Perfect internodal spacing ratio and a super stiff stem. The branches are nearly at the edge of the container from both nodes 1 and 2. Node 3 is about half way there with node 4 and 5 just starting out. Eventually, I'll have to tie her down, but as I said before, I may train her differently and just pull out the side branches. Sour Diesel C still has some pretty short nodes. Tall main stem, and she is starting to stretch, but still kind of tight. Huge leaves though. Like massive for the size of the plant. And I'm pretty sure she has the biggest leaves of all the plants. Indica dominant? Or straight up hybrid? We'll find out soon enough. Sour Diesel D is still short, but is catching up to C. And much like C, she is showing short nodes and big leaves. Beautiful color and a very nice plant, but not as nice as the other 3. I think I'll rotate them out tomorrow. Put A and B in the back with C and D up front. My light may be unlevel. I don't think I can fix it though. It's too light and the power cord is super stiff, so it pulls the light one way. Oh and I need to check the DLI. I have a feeling I can drop it down now. Just a few inches I think. Just to get that DLI up and make these ladies shoot up. The environment is still really nice with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 68%. Night temps are an average of 66°. I'll leave it his way until I get into the big tent which should be tomorrow. Or even tonight depending on how I feel. I have to check trichomes on one thing plants in the main tent and if they look ready, I can swap them out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 17, 2024 We have finally moved into the main tent. It's a super tight fit, but it fits nonetheless. Now things to note as we go into the main tent. First, I'm pretty sure my light in the 2x2 wasn't level front to back. Mostly because Sour Diesel A and B are now twice as tall as Sour Diesel C and D. More developed and perfect spacing between the nodes. To solve this issue, I changed the orientation. In the very back of the tent, behind these ladies is the last Tropicana Cookies. This plant is floppy and bendy to say the least. That being said, it's propped up by one of the Banana Purple Punch's on the right with the second one in the right front. I placed Sour Diesel A and B in the back in front of the Tropicana Cookies. It's taller so there's less light getting to these two. In turn I put Sour Diesel C and D up front where there is more access to light. Let's hope they catch up. If not, then maybe they are different phenomes afterall. Sour Diesel A looks great! Completely caught up with B now. Beautiful color and strong stem. Her branches aren't as long as B, but they are definitely getting there. I think I'll start training in the next day or two. Sour Diesel B is amazing! Her nodes are perfect, her branches are spreading out to the edge of the container now and she is just begging to be trained. However, her stem is really thick and strong. So I have to wait for her to take off which should be any day. Then there is the pre-flower stretch. I'll be training just before that and a little bit during, just to position the branches accordingly. Sour Diesel C is shorter than A and B. About half the size to be honest. Right internodal spacing and I'm pretty sure lack of light quality kept them like this. I don't think it was too much light. That would t make any sense with a 100 watt light nearly 36 inches away. No chance. Anyway, so that's what I think happened. Sour Diesel D is still small as ever, but is now the same size as C, so that's a thing. As I said before, I put her up front with C to get a bit more light. Hopefully she catches up with A and B. If not, it's not really a big deal. All I have to do is place them on one side of the tent with risers and the taller two on the other side. I favor the taller on the left and shorter on the right. It's just the way the tent door opens and placement. I'll check the DLI today at some point today. It should be around 20 to 25 mol/m²/d which is spot on with the stage they are in. Also a much better light, so much better light quality and more efficient intensity. The environment in the main tent is a nightmare for the flowering plants, but for these 4 it's paradise. The Temp is hovering around 76° and the humidity is 62%. There's tons of airflow, so I'm not all that worried about the flowering plants for now. They get well taken care of. Of course I'm trying to drop the humidity down a lot for the flowering plants, but the weather here won't let me. It's been ridiculously humid out for the last week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick Update: I had to increase the light power from 60% to 80%. I can't really move the light down yet, so I just I increased the power. Once all the other plants are out of the tent, I'll adjust accordingly I also took the light distance measurement and we are at a whopping 40.5" away. No matter, the DLI is what matters, and it's correct. May 18, 2024 No watering today. Just some leaf tucking and rearranging. Sour Diesel A looks great! She is the same size as B. Maybe a tiny bit taller now, but her branches aren't all that long yet. I could only tuck 3 leaves on this one. Still looks good and grew nearly 2" last night. Super vigorous. Sour Diesel B is the star of this show so far. Her branches are all long enough for full leaf tucking. I don't know how I plan on training her up. Maybe I'll bend the top, maybe I'll leave it alone and tie down the side branches. We shall see how things go. Sour Diesel C is smaller with shorter branches and still tight nodes. She's definitely not going to catch up to A and B. Not with how vigorous they are growing. Unless they stop randomly. Anyway, C looks good. She has perfectly healthy leaves and big ones at that. I managed to tuck 2 leaves, but that was it. Sour Diesel D is the same size as C. Same branch length. And no tucking available. She does look healthy. Super healthy, just growing differently. The light is perfectly spot on. I won't be changing it at all until all the other plants are out of the tent. Then I'll set the light to 24" from the canopy and power level down to 60% for a week. Maybe 70%, but I doubt it. We shall see The environment is perfect for these 4 plants. Not exactly perfect for the flowering plants. Actually, it's super horrible for the flowering plants. The temp is around 77° and the humidity is around 65%. Perfect for these ladies. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.3% VPD: 1.05 kPa

Start of Week 2 Flower. Looks like the fan is blocking some light on the far left and will replace it with a slim profile box fan. Also found a light leak coming from a vent and

Woahhh, I haven’t seen so many budsites in a while (been growing autos lately) I run the stem and get a citrus/pine smell. And smells dank. Lower leaves are fading, I pluck them off to let more air flow. Need to buy more fertilizer 😬 thugging it out with watering every day now, it’s been hot too

Buenos días familia, hoy traemos la 3 semana de floración de nuestras crazy cookies, zambezaseeds. Es una cepa bastante vigorosa con un tallo robusto 6mm, exactamente a mitad altura. Su cultivo es fácil, apenas se ve bloqueo alguno, traga muy bien en lo que se refiere a nutrientes. Ph en 6,5 y humedad por debajo de los 45 % . 48h entre riego y riego, no olvidemos que están en tiestos de 7L. Su floración está siendo bastante rápida estas semanas se verá como engordan nuestras flores, sin duda este es el momento para meter caña a big bud y bud candy.
