The week went well. She is getting so fat and chunky. She has a very lemony and sweet smell when you brush up on a bud. I lowered the light schedule to 10/14 a few days ago. More pistils are begining to change now each day. We're coming down the backstretch now. The viedo is probably not so good quality.

Sour Diesel plant is growing great. Now at 27 inches and growing fast. She has been topped and is now in Flower. Now it will be watering and pruning until we get some buds.

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno A 👑🔥 🌸 The Queen Is LOUD… And She's Looking Better Than Ever Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Guess what? The Queen is still shining. 👑✨🌸 And honestly... WOW. This girl continues to surprise me. Godfather OG Pheno A is looking absolutely remarkable right now. The flowers are developing beautifully, the colours are changing, the plant is moving deeper into maturity, and the overall appearance of this girl is becoming something really special. And then there's the smell... 😂 OH MY GOD. This girl is LOUD. 🔥👃💨 I don't know yet if she's going to be the loudest plant in the entire 8×8. But let's just say... she's making a very strong argument. And that's quite something considering what we've already smelled in this room. She's been one of the more difficult girls throughout the journey. She hasn't always been the happiest-looking plant in the room. She's had her moments. She's had her stresses. She's made us work a little harder to understand what she was trying to tell us. But now? Look at her. Just look at her. The Queen is looking like a Queen. 👑🌸💚 So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 WEEK 13 – THE QUEEN KEEPS SHINING Week after week, Godfather OG Pheno A has been writing her own story. And it hasn't necessarily been the easiest story. She's had stress. She's had moments where she wasn't exactly the happiest girl in the room. She's made me question things. She's made me watch her more closely. She's made me learn. But that's exactly what makes this week so satisfying. Because despite everything... she's still here. And she's beautiful. Really beautiful. The flowers are looking increasingly mature. The colours are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are changing. The foliage is fading in places. And the overall plant is giving us that unmistakable feeling that we're moving deeper into the final chapter. She's not simply growing anymore. She's finishing. And she's doing it in her own style. 👑🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 LOOK AT THOSE COLOURS This is one of the things that really caught my attention this week. Look at the fading. Look at the colours appearing throughout the plant. Look at the transition. This is one of those moments where the photographs really tell the story. Earlier in the grow, she was carrying much more uniform green. Now we're seeing those deeper flowering-stage changes becoming more obvious. And I absolutely love it. Not because "fading = better." That's not the point. The point is that we're watching the plant change. We're watching her move through time. We're watching the transition from active flowering development toward maturity. And with Godfather OG Pheno A, that transition is becoming beautiful. She's developing her own palette. Her own colours. Her own final expression. And when you put the photographs from earlier weeks beside these... you can really see how far she's travelled. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL And then we get to the part that really matters... the flowers. 🔥🌸 They're developing beautifully. The buds are becoming more substantial. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing. The resin continues to catch the light. And everything is starting to look much more mature. This is the stage where you can finally start seeing the plant's personality expressed through the flowers themselves. Not just: "Here is a flowering plant." But: "This is what THIS phenotype produces." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us something beautiful. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the most perfect. She's not trying to behave like the other eleven girls. She's simply being herself. And I really like what she's becoming. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE RESIN IS STILL GETTING MY ATTENTION Of course... I can't talk about this girl without talking about the frost. 😂💎📸 The closer we get... the more she gives us. The flowers are becoming increasingly decorated with resin. The sugar leaves are carrying that beautiful frosty appearance. And when you combine that with the changing colours? Oh my. 👑❄️🌸 This is exactly why I love photographing these girls week after week. The full plant tells one story. The individual flower tells another. And the macro tells you something completely different again. You can see the progression. You can see the maturity. You can see the resin. You can see the colours. And you can see just how much this girl has changed. ──────────────────────── 👃 AND THEN THERE'S THE SMELL... Okay. We need to talk about this. Because this girl is LOUD. 😂😂😂 I mean... LOUD. 🔥👃💨 Every time I get close to her, she makes her presence known. And that's saying something in a room with twelve different plants. I don't know yet if she's officially the loudest. I'm not giving her that crown just yet. 😂👑 We need to wait. We need to compare. We need to get through the harvest. We need to see what happens during drying and curing. And then, eventually... we'll really know what this girl has to say. Because aroma can evolve dramatically throughout the rest of the journey. But right now? Let's just say... Godfather OG Pheno A has entered the conversation. And she's shouting. 😂🔥👃 ──────────────────────── 🔊 IS SHE GOING TO BE THE LOUD ONE? This is now officially one of the questions I'm carrying into the final part of this diary. We've got twelve girls. Twelve different phenotypes. Different structures. Different flowers. Different expressions. And eventually... we'll get to compare them. Who has the most interesting aroma? Who has the strongest aroma? Who changes the most during drying? Who develops the most interesting cured profile? Who surprises us? And who... is simply fucking loud? 😂🔥👃 Godfather OG Pheno A may have just volunteered herself for that last category. But I'm not declaring the winner yet. We'll see. And when we eventually get to the smoke reports and final reviews... that's where we can really talk about it properly. For now... I'm just enjoying the smell. A LOT. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE QUEEN WASN'T ALWAYS THIS HAPPY And this is something I really want to acknowledge. Because looking at her now, it would be easy to forget the journey. She hasn't exactly been the easiest plant in this room. She's had stress throughout the grow. She's had moments where she didn't look like the happiest girl. She's made me pay attention. She's made me adapt. And sometimes... she simply made me shake my head and say: "Okay, Queen. What are you doing now?" 😂👑 But that's the beauty of growing individual phenotypes. You don't get twelve perfect copies. You get twelve personalities. Some are easy. Some are demanding. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some seem to love everything you do. Some make you work for every little bit of cooperation. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's definitely made me work for her. But now she's giving something back. And I think that's pretty damn special. ──────────────────────── ❤️ THE REWARD AFTER THE STRESS This is probably what makes me happiest about this week. It's not just that she looks beautiful. It's that she looks beautiful AFTER everything. After the stress. After the difficult moments. After all the times I wondered how she was going to finish. She's still standing there. Still flowering. Still producing resin. Still developing colour. Still smelling absolutely ridiculous. And looking better than ever. 😂👑🌸 That's a reward in itself. Sometimes the plants that give you the easiest ride aren't necessarily the ones you remember most. Sometimes... it's the difficult ones. The ones that make you learn. The ones that make you pay attention. The ones that keep you guessing. And then, at the end... they turn around and give you something beautiful. That's Godfather OG Pheno A for me. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE PHOTON EXPERIMENT CONTINUES The lighting setup remains unchanged. We're still running the upgraded Future of Grow environment with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're controlling their output at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug And the upper canopy remains around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD That's a lot of photons flying around this jungle. 😂☀️🌿 But again, the interesting part isn't simply the number. It's what the different plants do with those photons. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us another answer. She's developing. She's maturing. She's producing flowers. She's changing colour. And she's showing us her own expression. Same artificial sun. Different genetic response. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT QUEEN This is something I keep coming back to because it becomes more obvious every week. The environment is shared. The lighting is shared. The irrigation is shared. The nutrition philosophy is shared. The room is shared. But the plants don't behave the same. Godfather OG Pheno A has her own interpretation. And I love that. We're not trying to force her to behave like another phenotype. We're not trying to make her look like somebody else. We're simply providing the stage... and watching what she does on it. And right now? She's putting on one hell of a show. 👑🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – THE FINISH IS APPROACHING We're also continuing with the gradual nutritional transition as the room moves deeper into the flowering cycle. Terra Bloom has been reduced from the earlier level toward: 🌱 2.0 ml/L with the EC now around: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The philosophy remains the same. Gradual. Observational. No dramatic overnight changes. We're approaching the final part of the journey, so we're beginning to reduce the mineral base while continuing to watch how the plants respond. And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us plenty of information. The flowers are developing. The colours are changing. The plant is moving. The resin is building. And now we're watching her approach the final stage. She's getting there. But we're not rushing her. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE PLANT GETS THE FINAL VOTE This is probably one of the biggest lessons from the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can have calendars. We can have feeding schedules. We can have expectations. We can have numbers. But ultimately... the plant gets the final vote. Godfather OG Pheno A is telling us: "I'm changing." "I'm maturing." "I'm getting closer." And our job is to listen. That's what I'm doing. I'm not trying to force her into a specific timeline. I'm watching. I'm photographing. I'm smelling. I'm comparing. And I'm letting her show me where she is. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE QUEEN DESERVES HER PORTRAITS And yes... the Queen gets her photographs again. 😂📸👑 After her previous photographic privileges were restored, there is absolutely no way we're taking them away again. She's earned them. And honestly... look at her. These flowers deserve to be photographed. The colours deserve to be photographed. The resin deserves to be photographed. The fading deserves to be photographed. And the plant herself deserves the spotlight. This is what these individual diaries are about. Not just showing the final result. Showing the journey. Showing the difficult weeks. Showing the beautiful weeks. Showing the changes. Showing the personality. And Godfather OG Pheno A has certainly given us a journey. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8×8 continues under the same general environment: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output — ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature — ~26.5–27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~25–26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25–26°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature — ~25°C ⚗️ pH — approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ — ~693 ppm 💧 Irrigation — ~1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size — 15 L The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. The plants continue moving at their individual speeds. And the Queen? She's still doing her thing. ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ROOM — DIFFERENT JOURNEY This is becoming more fascinating every week. Because we're getting close enough to the end that the differences between these plants are becoming extremely obvious. Some are still very green. Some are fading. Some are moving quickly. Some are taking their time. Some are developing huge flowers. Some are developing unusual structures. Some are incredibly frosty. Some are incredibly aromatic. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's giving us colour... resin... flowers... and one hell of a smell. 😂👑🔥 That's her expression. That's her story. And I wouldn't change it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 LET HER FINISH HER STORY At this point, I'm not interested in trying to turn her into something else. She's already shown us who she is. She's been stressed. She's been difficult. She's been beautiful. She's been stubborn. She's been rewarding. And now she's approaching the final chapter. So we're going to let her finish. We're going to continue observing. We're going to continue documenting. We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue watching the colour changes. We're going to continue enjoying that ridiculous aroma. And eventually... we'll harvest. Then we'll dry. Then we'll cure. And THEN... we'll really get to know this girl. Because that's when the story gets even more interesting. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? We're getting closer. And I have to admit... I'm curious. Very curious. Because the plant is already giving us clues. Beautiful colour. Mature-looking flowers. Increasing resin. Changing pistils. And that smell... 😂🔥👃 But we're not going to spoil the ending. We'll let her take us there. And when we eventually reach the harvest and curing stages, we'll talk properly about the aroma. The flower structure. The final appearance. The dry weight. The cure. The smoke. The flavour. The effects. Everything. But for now... we're still in the garden. Still watching. Still learning. Still enjoying the Queen. ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS – LOUD, BEAUTIFUL & STILL THE QUEEN Week 13. And Godfather OG Pheno A is still shining. 👑🌸💚 Honestly... I'm really, really happy with how she's looking. Look at those flowers. Look at those colours. Look at that fading. Look at the resin. Look at the plant. She's remarkable. She's amazing. And considering how much stress she's had throughout this entire grow... I'm genuinely impressed. She hasn't been the happiest plant in the room. Not by a long shot. 😂 She's made that very clear. But maybe... just maybe... she was saving all that energy for the flowers. Because now? She's showing us something beautiful. And she's smelling absolutely insane. 🔥👃💨 I don't know if she's going to be the loudest girl in the 8×8. I'm not giving her that crown yet. But she's certainly making her case. And when we finally get to the smoke reports... that's going to be a very interesting chapter. For now, though... let's just appreciate what she's becoming. The Queen has been through a lot. She's had her moments. She's tested our patience. She's made us pay attention. She's made us learn. And now she's standing there... beautiful. Frosty. Colourful. Aromatic. And completely herself. That's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't always get the easiest plant. You don't always get the happiest plant. You don't always get the biggest plant. But sometimes... you get a plant that makes you say: "Wow." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving me that feeling right now. 👑🔥🌸 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's celebrate her. Let's photograph her. Let's enjoy her aroma. And let's see how loud this Queen really is when the time comes. Until then... Keep shining, Queen. You've earned every bit of that crown. 👑🌿💎🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us these Godfather OG genetics and allowing us to explore this individual phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey and providing the nutritional foundation behind these flowering girls. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🔥 The extra lighting capability has given us another fascinating variable to observe across these twelve completely different plants. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore this room as a three-dimensional lighting environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week... another chapter. Another phenotype. Another personality. Another lesson. And Godfather OG Pheno A has certainly given us a story. She's been stressed. She's been difficult. She's been beautiful. And now... she's becoming absolutely remarkable. 👑🌸🔥 And possibly... very, very loud. 😂👃💨 We'll find out. The final chapters will tell us. Until then, we're going to keep doing what we do. Observe. Document. Listen. Adjust when necessary. And let the plants show us who they really are. Godfather OG Pheno A... the Queen is still shining. And she's looking damn good doing it. 👑💚🌸💎🔥 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥👑

no more nutriens, Just water to flush.

Como mencione en el otro diario estuve ausente unos días por eso no llevo actualizado el mismo.ha crecido muy poco pero en estos días la plantare en el suelo . Buen 2024 para todos!!🤞🤞🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊👏👏👏👏

These plants have been running in a veg area for exactly 1 month. There are 9 plants and each plant has tops selected for a total of 27 tops. Once plants were moved into flower location they were trimmed back to the shortest top. Then all bud sites bellow the 2 from top are removed. Plants will begin to exponentially grow. Ill remove bud sites as the plants grow, Removing any lower branches that begin to stray from the main stem by more than 2"

Starting to get a bit smelly and sticky now.

Привет садоводы началась 3 неделя , растение цветет и пахнет , но не очень сильно пока каждую неделю я меняю питательный раствор на новый , и сегодня поменял еще я поставил лампу помощней HPS 250 w без Cooltube , что-бы свет больше рассеивался, но тем самым понизил влажность до 30 % буду наблюдать дальше

4 weeks in and the buds are starting to sparkle.

It’s day 33’from seed. All of the plants are really healthy. The plants have a really great root system at this point… I am currently slowly moving the light intensity up to the veg area. Now that are in a groove they are about to explode… I’m hoping I can flip the plants to flower in 1 weeks but I’m thinking I will wait to weeks and let them get a little larger. The plants are just now starting to look visually different next weeks update I will be ababoe to go into the visual differences, they are just not that extreme yet to really talk to much about.

Привет привет друзья как дела как настрой ??? Ну вот и долгожданный репортаж от Раста ;) неделя прошла без изменений, как обычно всю неделю поправлял ветки от 707 показывал им как надо и в какую сторону им надо развиваться, в переди ещё 3-4 недели и я уже думаю чем мне закрепить ветки так как на этом этапе шишки уже очень тяжело. А ещё они только набирают вес и силы 😍😁

Supercropped, they are still recovering from a magnesium deficiency, really purple stems coming out of propagation tent, it also started to have a potassium deficiency but both were corrected with new growth taking off. New reservoir has; 32 grams Calcium Nitrate 20 grams Jack’s Hydro 25 grams magnesium sulphate 100mL regen a root 50mL Mighty Growth Enhancer 75mL of Humic and Fulvic Since writing, I realize I forgot to add 3% hydrogen peroxide USP ... I’ll add 250mL tomorrow... pH is high at 6.5 atm PPM is 1100

Had a good week, buds popped up all over the place. Gonna be a good harvest.

Funky and Garlicky!!

Day 106 Flower 64. 17.03. Hallo Leute. Hat die an Glitzer zugelegt. 😍 Plus weiterhin Gewicht Zunahme. Und Volumen. Der Kohlgeruch ist komplett weg. Es bleibt ein Geruch nach heißem Plastik. + 3 Wirklich 3 Gerüche, die ich als Großmeister noch nie gerochen habe. + Weed. PLANET SUHH. Dort ist der Geruch wohlbekannt. PLANET ERDE. Der Grower ( mich) staunt. Der Rauch steht noch aus, aber wow. Sowas von, ja krankhaften ( nicht aufzuhalten, Manisch, enervierend ) WACHSTUM. Erst pumpen sich Knospen auf, dann werden sie hart, und danach pumpen sie in gleicher Weise weiter. Also habe ich harte geile Knospen mit bis zu 32 % Thc. Ohh, das ist viel. Sehr viel um genau zu sagen. Hängt auch genug dran. Bin zufrieden. In, wie nennt es ANESIA? Psychedelisch. Oh je. Habe trotzdem Lust drauf. Mein Gehirn schreit JAAAA. Danke fürs liken lesen und alles. 19.03. Day 66 der blüte. Schnick schnack schnock: DARKNESS für 3 Tage. 20.03 (Pferdewiehern) WIIIHIHIHHHIIII Leute in meinen Zelt , sind gerade 2 Bomben am trocknen. Diese hier und ne Future 1. Explosive Mischung sage ich nur . 23.03. es ist vollbracht. Gecuttet. Aufgehängt. Eine Testbund von unten wurde zerkleinert zum trocknen, konsumieren. Selbst die Stämme waren Gummiartig klebrig. 25.03. Wie die Testbud war? ICH KANN MICH NICHT ERINNERN!😳 Ich habe den ganzen Abend davon geraucht. ... Sandelholz Zitrone Aroma.. das weiß ich noch... Aber Turn... Ähh tut mir leid, ich kann mich nicht erinnern.. 😳😂 27.03. geil, ich kann's kaum Erwarten bis alles fertig ist.

Had some fun with that heat stress but all is good check the video Bananabelle is looking gorgeous:)

Everything is going ok no roots yet on the clones but we got a week b4 we need to worry Temps steady humidity steady will be topping of res with more nutes todau

All finished up this girl has impressed me for one gallon of dirt she has really been quite the plant and as far as appearance goes she is beautiful while and late flower she smells exactly like blueberry Pop-Tarts after the dry and the cure the blueberry remained strong but the Pop-Tart kind of faded but it's okay because blueberries are tasty lol seeing how it's across the somango and blueberry it makes sense.. the big question is what I grow her again and the answer to that is yes.. she has quite the frost and bag appeal
