I realised that the roots were too cold and put Styrofoam under the pots. In addition, a plant has a positive mutation. A branch has become 2.

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Folder 10 Frosted Guava – Plant A | Week 4 | The Compact Contender Begins to Bloom Every phenotype tells its own story, and that is exactly why this 8×8 Adventure continues to fascinate me. Growing twelve different genetics under the same environment using the 12/12 From Seed technique has become a constant lesson in how differently each cultivar interprets identical conditions. Some immediately stretch toward the light, while others choose patience, investing their energy into structure before committing to vertical growth. Frosted Guava Plant A clearly belongs to the second group. Rather than racing upward, she has spent these first weeks building an incredibly dense, compact framework. Looking at her today, it’s easy to understand why this phenotype caught my attention. Every internode remains tight, every branch is stacked close together, and the entire plant carries an impressive amount of healthy foliage without sacrificing vigor. She may not be the tallest lady in the tent, but she’s quietly building what looks to become an exceptionally productive little bush. The most exciting part? Despite her compact stature, she has officially begun announcing that flowering is just around the corner. ⸻ 🌱 Building a Foundation Before the Stretch One of the things I enjoy most about documenting these grows is watching personality emerge before flowers ever appear. Frosted Guava Plant A has developed into exactly the kind of plant that rewards patience. Instead of producing long internodal spacing, she has focused on creating a dense network of future flowering sites. Looking closely, nearly every node is alive with vigorous new growth, and fresh shoots are beginning to compete for dominance. The canopy is naturally uniform, making future light penetration much easier than on taller, more open phenotypes. Sometimes growers become concerned when a plant doesn’t stretch early under 12/12, but genetics ultimately decide how that energy is distributed. In this case, the energy has clearly gone underground first into the roots, then into stem thickness, branching, and node production before committing to vertical growth. The result is a plant that already feels mature despite standing only around 25 cm tall. ⸻ ✂️ Gentle Low Stress Training Instead of aggressive manipulation, this phenotype has been guided with a much softer approach. Throughout the week I continued using simple leaf bending, leaf tucking and gentle repositioning to expose hidden growth tips. No unnecessary stress, no heavy defoliation—just encouraging light to reach every developing branch naturally. This technique has worked beautifully. Rather than removing valuable solar panels, the larger fan leaves are simply moved out of the way, allowing the lower shoots to receive enough light to become future flowering tops. Sometimes the simplest training methods are also the most effective. The goal isn’t forcing the plant into shape. The goal is helping her discover her own. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower One of the most enjoyable moments during a 12/12 From Seed project is seeing that unmistakable transition. This week those first pre-flower structures have become impossible to ignore. Tiny clusters are beginning to form across the upper nodes, the apical growth has changed shape, and the plant is slowly shifting away from vegetative expansion toward reproductive development. She isn’t waiting. Exactly as expected with this cultivation method, Frosted Guava is entering bloom while still maintaining a beautifully compact architecture. If the coming stretch remains moderate, this could easily become one of the densest canopies inside the entire 8×8 tent. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions This week the room remained remarkably stable despite the warm summer conditions. Grow Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 26°C • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • ⚗️ pH: 6.1 • ☁️ CO₂: 639 ppm • 💧 Daily Water Consumption: 1.1 L • ? Pot Size: 15 L • ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 Although daytime temperatures continue to push higher than ideal, the plants have responded exceptionally well. Healthy leaf posture, rich coloration, vigorous growth and strong transpiration all suggest that root-zone conditions remain stable enough to offset the environmental heat. Sometimes plants tell you far more than any environmental sensor can. And these leaves are telling me they’re happy. ⸻ Feeding Program The nutrition program remained intentionally balanced to support both continued vegetative development and the beginning of flower initiation. This week’s recipe consisted of: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L With an EC of 1.35, the feeding remains moderate while supplying everything needed to sustain healthy growth without pushing the plant harder than necessary. The rich green foliage suggests the balance is right where it should be. ⸻ 🔬 Phenotype Notes Looking over this week’s photographs, several characteristics stand out. The stem has thickened noticeably and provides an excellent foundation for future flower weight. Branch spacing remains extremely tight, giving the plant a naturally bushy appearance without requiring topping or more invasive training. The new growth is vibrant, healthy and full of energy, while the canopy remains surprisingly symmetrical despite only using leaf tucking. Perhaps the most interesting observation is just how many future flowering sites are already visible. Nearly every branch tip appears ready to contribute to the final canopy. She may not be trying to become the biggest plant. She may simply be trying to become one of the fullest. Sometimes that’s an even better strategy. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming week should be one of the most exciting yet. With flowering now beginning, I expect Frosted Guava Plant A to enter her stretch phase while continuing to produce additional flowering sites throughout the canopy. Training will remain gentle, focusing on canopy management rather than forcing structure. If she maintains this compact architecture while adding vertical growth, she could develop into one of the easiest plants in the room to manage. Every day she becomes a little more confident. And every week she gives another reason to be excited about what’s coming next. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Projects like this remind me why I love growing. No two plants ever read the same script. Even when sharing identical lighting, nutrition, temperatures and care, every genetic line chooses its own path. Frosted Guava Plant A has decided that patience comes first—building strength before height, structure before stretch, and now finally revealing the first signs that flowering has officially begun. Watching those decisions unfold is one of the greatest rewards of documenting every week of this journey. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing these exciting Frosted Guava genetics, Plagron for the reliable soil and nutrient line that keeps this entire project thriving, and Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful, even lighting that allows every phenotype to express its full potential. As always, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries platform for giving growers around the world a place to learn from one another, and to everyone who follows this 8×8 Adventure week after week. Your encouragement, questions, advice and enthusiasm continue to make this journey even more rewarding. Growers Love and see you all next week, as Frosted Guava Plant A takes her first real steps into bloom. 🌱💚

4/20 AM all the photos are looking good. The Tyson’s are done. 👍👍👍🍇⛽️ 4/21 4:30AM Took small samples of BTT!!! Smoking now. Heavy hitter right off the tree. she is looking already done Grimm Seeds finish fast once flowering. Wasnt expecting that! I will grow some more and veg longer. I am RE-vegging. Ricky and Bubbles they are almost a year old and I want to keep thiem. Julian can go fu...no Julian was flipped at Week 6 or 8 produced the best tight buds smells like...'tangerines. 4/21 5:04AM VIDEOS 2 MONTEL'S, THE TALL ONE AND 1 TYSON, PUNCH PIE & GELATO 44!!!! 4/21 FLUSHED THE TYSONS WITH JUST WATER AGAIN AND WOW!!!!! LOVE THE RQS TYSON PHOTO PLANTS!!!! THEY ARE STRONG THEY CAN GROW UNDER HIGH STRESS CONDITIONS. I DID TREAT THEM EARLY ON WITH MY OWN WIZARD MAGIC WITH AMINO ACIDS THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED BUT THEY ARE GREAT 9/10. 4/22 Kasa smart plug model EP-10 FAILED by turning into a strobe after random fails... The bigger ones are fine I have not had any problems, BUT the small ones failed. Thankfully I had them on my internet and not in the grow room!!! Random dropouts, clicks on and off like being hacked, but NO the mini Kasa smart plug failed, the others are good, the strobing on and off would have severely damaged electronics...I did NOT know that could happen! THE MORE YOU KNOW! 4/23 11AM CHOP DAY BOTH Tysons came down. They were ready a while ago. They did GREAT. Underfilled 2 gallon pots. Low light using 2 TS-100-'s at about 50 to 60 Watts. No idea how m;uch i got 4/24 3:20AM Tysons are drying perfectly, great color!!!! Video with Pink Kush and CBG by Seedsman in there

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita más de flora para estás hermosas niñas... Creciendo un poquitito más, super bien, super fuertes... Ya faltan pocas semanas y la verdad q lo las veo nada mal, absorben muy bien los nutrientes, aumentado el riego a 1lt x planta, no tienen ningún signo malo de nada, todo perfecto, eh tenido que hacer un poco de defoliación ya q habia muchísimas hojas grandes, se nota la buena circulación de aire, la penetración de luz en las partes bajas ( que aunque algunos no les den importancia o digan que esas zonas le quitan fuerzas a la planta, a mí me gusta dejar que crezca todo tal cual, sin problema.) son cogollos pequeños, pero los aceptamos igual, claro q sí... Buenos humos y buena semana para tod@s a seguir trabajando... 🤗👍🏻🙏🏻 💀😎🇦🇷

The Cookie Girls are doing great 😊 Overall, I’m very pleased with the results so far. At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so. At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete. At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point. Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps. The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing. I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Day 37 - Did a little defoliating, I’m really hoping it doesn’t stunt her too much. Guess time will tell! Day 38 - Everything seems to be ok after defoliating a bit yesterday, just feeding and waiting on her to really start flowering! Day 39 - No major changes with her, still growing like a weed. Day 40 - Still looking good. Day 41 - Just waiting on her to start flowering. Pistils are popping but no budding yet. Day 42 - Growing like a weed for sure! Really starting to stretch. Think she might be starting to flower finally. Hopefully, cause she’s gonna outgrow the tent if she keeps stretching!

Sensi seeds Jack herer 7 Weeks of flowering completed 31st March 2020 Mission Jack herer is getting closer and closer to completion with every day that passes. Luckily there has been no more mold on any of the buds and maybe that is because I have drastically changed my watering schedule to only once a week this is to keep the moisture at a mininum so that mold isn't likely to grow. The one feed I do give her is a 10 litre mix of water containing Ozi tonic @10mls Litre , because the weather has been quite wet and much cooler she doesnt seem to be needing any extra watering anyway which is a bonus. Other than that I don't have anything else to report this week Take care everybody and thanks for reading my diary update . 👍

Blütewoche 7: Nachdem ich den Großteil meiner Frustration über den Fehlschlag verarbeitet hatte, entschied ich mich dazu den Plan doch nochmal zu überdenken und separierte die gezwitterte Übeltäterin ins leere Nebenzelt um diese schonmal auf die letzte Reise zu schicken. Wie man auf den Bildern erkennen kann kontrollierte ich die Pflanzen an Tag 100 noch einmal genaustens auf Pollensäcke. Diese ließen auch nicht all zu lange auf sich warten und es waren doch mehr als gedacht. Aber als ich mir die Terpene anschaute und feststellte, dass der Großteil schon milchig ist und die Pflanze im Vergleich zur ChocolateHaze beispielsweise von Samen wirklich verschont ausschaut, stellte ich mir folgende Frage.. Ist es unter diesen Umständen nicht sinnvoller , die Pflanze zu nehmen wie sie ist und dafür das Risiko zu minimiere nur noch mehr Samen zu züchten? Natürlich würde ich sie lieber noch 2 Wochen in Blüte lassen, aber wer weiß wie viel Müsli in 2 Wochen nachkommen können.. Ich will es nicht herausfinden 😒😅 Also bereitete ich einen letztzen Trank zu, welcher der Pflanze für die kommenden Tage etwas " beruhigen " sollte. - To be Continued -

I love this plant. It's such a beautiful structure. Buds are fattening up really well. Seeds are also starting to be produced. Looks like the rest of the plant has become pollinated. Couldn't be happier.
