👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | Elegance in Every Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a true phenotype hunt is discovering how differently each individual plant expresses herself, even when every variable remains exactly the same. Same genetics. Same lighting. Same environment. Same feeding philosophy. Yet every plant tells her own story. Godfather OG Pheno B is proving that perfectly. While some of her sisters are building broader, bushier canopies, this lady has chosen elegance over width, reaching confidently toward the lights with long, graceful branches and beautifully spaced flowering sites. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply becoming herself. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🌱 The Journey So Far If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome! Every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than extending the vegetative stage before inducing flowering, every seed has lived under twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very first day. That means I never decide when flowering begins. The plants do. Each phenotype follows its own internal clock, revealing its own pace and personality. It's one of the reasons this project has become such an incredible learning experience. Watching sister plants develop into completely different individuals under identical conditions never stops amazing me. 🌸 Week One of Flower This week marks what I consider Week One of Flower. The transition is now unmistakable. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every growing tip, quietly announcing that the plant has shifted her priorities from building stems and leaves to creating flowers. These tiny white hairs may seem insignificant today... …but they are the first chapter of every future cola. Every morning seems to bring another cluster of pistils, another little burst of growth, and another reminder of how quickly this stage evolves. It's one of my favourite moments in the entire cultivation cycle. The excitement is only just beginning. 🌿 A Structure Built for Success Now standing close to 96 cm, Pheno B has become one of the tallest ladies in the room. Rather than producing a dense, compact canopy, she's expressing a wonderfully open architecture. Long internodal spacing. Strong central stem. Healthy side branching. Excellent airflow. Instead of fighting her natural shape, I've simply allowed her to develop the way she wanted. No aggressive training. No heavy defoliation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there to improve light penetration while letting the plant write her own story. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the plant's way. The result is an elegant framework where every future flowering site has room to breathe and access to plenty of light. 💧 Hand Watering — Every Plant, Every Decision Unlike some of her sisters growing on AutoPots, Pheno B continues to be hand-watered. There's something incredibly rewarding about this approach. Every watering becomes an opportunity to slow down. To observe. To inspect every leaf. To notice the smallest changes before they become problems. Rather than simply feeding the plant, hand watering encourages a closer relationship with her development. As flowering begins, the nutrition program continues its gradual transition toward bloom production. Bloom nutrients are now taking a larger role while enough nitrogen remains available to support the final stretch before the plant fully dedicates her energy to building flowers. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. 🌡️ Environment — Consistency Creates Confidence The room continues delivering stable conditions that allow every phenotype to perform at her best. Current averages include: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • ? Root zone: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 24°C • 🌿 CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfection every day, I focus on maintaining consistency. Healthy plants don't just grow because they're fed well. They thrive because they're never forced to constantly adapt to changing conditions. A stable environment allows the plant to spend her energy growing instead of recovering. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a plant that's confidently stepping into her flowering journey. Full-length portraits highlight her elegant vertical structure and balanced branching. Close-up images showcase the first clusters of bright white pistils appearing across multiple flowering sites. Several photographs also reveal the open architecture that has naturally developed through gentle guidance rather than heavy intervention. Every branch seems eager to join the race toward becoming a future cola. Watching these subtle changes unfold week after week is one of the most rewarding parts of documenting this project. Sometimes a camera captures progress that our eyes almost miss from one day to the next. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More pistils will appear across every branch, while the first true bud clusters begin forming at each flowering site. Training will remain minimal. Only occasional leaf tucking will be carried out whenever necessary to improve light penetration and airflow. At this point, the goal isn't to reshape the plant. It's simply to support the structure she's already chosen for herself. If she continues growing with this same rhythm, I think she's going to produce a canopy filled with long, beautifully stacked colas. She's healthy. She's vigorous. And she's only just getting started. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that's exactly why documenting each one individually has become such a rewarding experience. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share their experiences, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for supplying the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. ? Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment that allows every phenotype to express her full potential. And finally... Thank you to everyone reading these updates, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply following along. Your support makes this journey even more enjoyable. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno B continues transforming graceful branches into what I hope will become a canopy full of beautiful flowers. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱👑💚

Good morning, weekly update time! Today is day 41 of flower, the fade has started but the ladies are still bulking up and putting on weight! Prob start checking trichs in ten -14 days or so but like I said weight is stil increasing and white pistils are still dominant. Last week they got their last dose of recharge tea, I’ll probably give them fish shit one more week! I also gave them one last fruit compost tea I made with apple, cucumber, kiwi, and banana peels! Here on out there isn’t much to do and it’s getting boring for me, I liked working with them topping and training etc but now I just check on them once a day. Thanks for reading and see you next Tuesday :)

This week was amazing! I gave green sensation for the first time, and the results are as good as I expected. The buds are incredible, the smell is amazing, everyone looks healthy so far! :) I hope everything will be alright, see you guys next week!

I'm going to have to have a think about my next grow, either I stick with this tent and hit the plants hard with light when I flip to flower to keep them small, or try and cram a slightly bigger tent in the space allocated for it. This tent is 61×76×150cm with the option to extend it to 173cm. Mine is configured to the 150cm height, but because its extendable the top 30cm is inaccessible at the best of times let alone when the plants reach a decent height. Extending this tent will be pointless because that's another 23cm of inaccessible space. Besides I only have a max head room for 160cm where the tent is.

She is coming along at a decent pace, maybe not quite as quick as the other 2 test strains. Back soon. Take it easy.

Defoliation was done this week, open up the canopy for better light and wind flow. Sugar leaves are starting to change to a red color. Trichomes look long and abundant. Beautiful plant to grow.

Im falling in love, cos thoose our babe's makes US 🤩😋🤩 ..., that Last 3 weeks. Jeep on rollin baby

Days. 99 F15 Lolipoping! Days.102 F18 Bad news!. My medium raise to PH 7.0 but now no sign of any problem fast producing bud form. ☺️i will give her ph5.8-6.0 for next watering thank you all advice from my grow question. THANK YOU <3

Done the job son

Big girls. Usually don’t let them get this big. They are starting to yellow a bit on the bottom. Not enough water me thinks

Не знаю как вы, а я очень люблю этот день - день сбора урожая. И это даже несмотря на то, что в этот день приходится маникюрить срезанные кусты(я предпочитаю делать это до сушки). В этот раз триммить было особенно сложно, много мелких сативных листочков росло прямо из шишек. А что там шишки? Да супер, твердые как камень, всё как я хотел🌿! В день харвеста(вовремя, спасибо Джа!) не выдержала моя техника - отключилась половина лампы(на 1видео 19с.), видимо действительно пришло время. 🗓️Друзья мои, всех приглашаю в мой дневник через 10 дней сушки, буду взвешивать и пробовать урожай, подводить итоги👆 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme.

Laughing Buddha – Wochenbericht #21 | Blütewoche 6 Blütewoche 6 ist geschafft und trotz der bekannten Blattprobleme entwickelt sich die Laughing Buddha bei den Blüten weiterhin richtig stark. Der Unterschied zur vergangenen Woche wird besonders im Zeitraffer deutlich. Ohne die Dunkelphasen lässt sich die Entwicklung diesmal sehr schön verfolgen: Die einzelnen Buds haben sichtbar an Masse gewonnen, mehrere Blütenstände beginnen immer stärker zusammenzuwachsen und die größeren Colas werden zunehmend kompakt. Gleichzeitig produziert sie weiterhin sehr viele frische, helle Blütenfäden – hier ist also noch lange nicht Schluss. Auch die Harzproduktion macht richtig Spaß. Die Zuckerblätter sind inzwischen stark mit Trichomen überzogen und einige Buds sehen schon jetzt ordentlich „frostig“ aus. ❄️ 🍃 Blattentwicklung Weniger schön bleibt der Zustand des Laubes. Die bereits vorhandene Aufhellung ist weiterhin deutlich sichtbar und an einigen Blättern haben die nekrotischen bzw. rostfarbenen Stellen zugenommen. Nachdem in der vergangenen Woche bereits verschiedene mögliche Ursachen überprüft und die Bedingungen angepasst wurden, möchte ich momentan nicht mit weiteren großen Veränderungen reagieren. Boden-pH und EC waren bei der Kontrolle unauffällig. Gleichzeitig wurden die zuvor sehr hohen Temperaturen bzw. der hohe VPD entschärft und der Abstand bzw. die Lichtbelastung angepasst. Die alten Schäden werden natürlich nicht verschwinden. Entscheidend ist jetzt, ob sich die weitere Verschlechterung verlangsamen bzw. stoppen lässt. Trotz des angeschlagenen Laubes zeigt die sichtbare Entwicklung der Blüten momentan jedenfalls, dass die Pflanze weiterhin ordentlich arbeitet. 💧 Bewässerung Zwischendurch wurde überwiegend Regenwasser verwendet, da kein vorbereitetes Leitungswasser zur Verfügung stand. Künftig werde ich wieder hauptsächlich Leitungswasser verwenden und eventuell einen Teil Regenwasser beimischen, um die hohe Kalkbelastung meines Leitungswassers etwas abzumildern. Nach dem versehentlichen Verschieben eines Bodensensors wurde dieser außerdem wieder korrekt eingesetzt. Dadurch waren die vorherigen Feuchtigkeitswerte teilweise irreführend – nach dem erneuten Einsetzen zeigte der Sensor wieder plausible Werte. 💡 Licht & Technik Diese Woche gab es noch zwei kleine technische Geschichten. 😅 Einmal wurde das Licht morgens manuell eingeschaltet, damit ich vor der Arbeit gießen konnte. Abends habe ich leider zu spät daran gedacht, sodass sie an diesem Tag ungefähr 13 statt 12 Stunden Licht bekommen hat. Ein einmaliger Ausrutscher – danach ging es wieder normal mit 12/12 weiter. Außerdem hatte der Spider-Farmer-Controller seit einiger Zeit seine Netzwerkverbindung verloren. Lokal funktionierte die Steuerung weiterhin, in der App wurden allerdings keine aktuellen Daten mehr übertragen. Ich habe den Controller schließlich auf Werkseinstellungen zurückgesetzt und sämtliche Geräte neu verbunden – seitdem funktioniert wieder alles wie vorgesehen. 👍 🌸 Fazit Blütewoche 6 Die Blattgesundheit bleibt ganz klar der Punkt, den ich in den kommenden Wochen am genauesten beobachten werde. Dafür gibt es nichts schönzureden: Für die noch verbleibende Blütezeit hätte ich natürlich lieber deutlich mehr gesundes, sattgrünes Laub. Auf der anderen Seite steht eine Blütenentwicklung, mit der ich wirklich zufrieden bin. Die Buds haben innerhalb dieser Woche sichtbar zugelegt, die Harzproduktion läuft auf Hochtouren und über die gesamte Fläche stehen inzwischen zahlreiche ordentliche Colas. BW6 war damit eine etwas widersprüchliche Woche: oben werden die Buds immer schöner, darunter macht mir das Laub weiterhin Sorgen. 😅 Jetzt heißt es möglichst stabile Bedingungen halten, genau beobachten und ihr die Ruhe geben, ihre Arbeit zu machen. Auf in Blütewoche 7. 🌿✌️

This was an incredible cultivar! She put in fat Buds in a timely manner and ripened pink and teal buds. The aroma is no compromise either. She has floral citrus top notes and skunky back tones. Out of the 4 testers I did this round this one seems to be the one for yields as well. It's a win win with this strain. Great creation from Fast Buds

Everything is pretty much the same this week the purple punch is doing up numbers, the zkittles is rite behind it with the gelato struggling. Already germinated some seeds for the summer grow hope the gelato grows better out doors

Dünge bei jedem Gießen

Beginning of the sixth week. The first trichomes have already begun to appear. Now it's waiting for the buds to get fat.
