Skywalker OG Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy
๐ŸŒฑ Skywalker OG โ€” Week 9 From Seed (โ‰ˆ Week 5 Flower | 12/12 From Seed โ€” No Veg Run) โธป ๐Ÿ”„ Quick Recap โ€” Whatโ€™s Happening (and Whatโ€™s Not) This run continues under a 12/12 from seed schedule, no traditional vegetative phase. That means: โ€ข Structure and flowering developed at the same time โ€ข Stretch and bud formation are overlapping โ€ข โ€œWeek 5 Flowerโ€ is based on plant expression (pistils & stacking), not a flip ๐Ÿ‘‰ Environment, feeding, and routine remain unchanged this week Sometimes the best move is to not interfere when things are working โธป ๐ŸŒฟ General Plant Development The room is alive right now. โ€ข Plants are reaching around ~1.30m โ€ข Strong vertical growth is still present โ€ข Bud sites are forming across the entire structure One plant clearly separated itself: ๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œThe Other Skywalker OGโ€ (Big Mama) โ€ข Too large to move out of the tent anymore โ€ข Dense, bushy structure โ€ข Strong lateral expansion โ€ข Now officially tracked separately for clarity The rest of the plants were taken to the studio and observed in detail โ€” and they responded beautifully. โธป ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Aroma Development This week marked a shift. The smell is becoming: โ€ข Stronger โ€ข Deeper โ€ข More present in the room ๐Ÿ‘‰ This is completely natural for this stage We are entering the phase where: โ€ข Terpene production begins ramping up โ€ข Flower sites are becoming metabolically active Nothing to correct here โ€” only to observe and respect โธป ๐Ÿ”ฌ Macro Observations โ€” The โ€œSkinโ€ of the Plant This week, we go deeper. Not just how the plant looksโ€ฆ but what the plant is made of โธป ๐ŸŒธ Pistils (White Hairs) What we see: โ€ข Fresh, bright white pistils emerging in clusters โ€ข Increasing density at bud sites What it is: โ€ข Female reproductive structures โ€ข Designed to catch pollen What it means: โ€ข The plant is actively building flowers โ€ข We are firmly in earlyโ€“mid flower transition What it is not: โ€ข Not bud mass yet โ€ข Not potency indicator ๐Ÿ‘‰ Think of them as signals of intention, not results โธป โœจ Trichomes โ€” The First Signs Under macro: โ€ข Early gland formation is visible โ€ข Still very subtle at this stage What it is: โ€ข Resin glands (future cannabinoid + terpene factories) What it means: โ€ข The plant is preparing its chemical defense system What it is not: โ€ข Not mature resin โ€ข Not peak expression yet ๐Ÿ‘‰ We are at the beginning of the story, not the climax โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Stems & Branch โ€œSkinโ€ This is where it gets interesting. Under macro you captured: โ€ข Texture variations โ€ข Small markings and striping โ€ข Surface irregularities What it is: โ€ข Natural structural development โ€ข Vascular expansion (xylem & phloem activity) โ€ข Mechanical strengthening as plant grows What it means: โ€ข The plant is reinforcing itself to support future weight What it is not: โ€ข Not disease โ€ข Not damage (unless soft, spreading, or discolored โ€” which is not the case here) ๐Ÿ‘‰ This is the plant building its skeleton โธป ? Nodes & Growth Points Close-ups show: โ€ข Tight node spacing in some areas โ€ข Strong branching symmetry โ€ข Active growth tips What it means: โ€ข Good light distribution โ€ข Balanced hormonal response ๐Ÿ‘‰ The plant is still deciding where to invest energy โธป ? Soil & Perlite Life Macro of the medium shows: โ€ข Perlite structure intact โ€ข Surface life and texture โ€ข Stable environment What it means: โ€ข Oxygenation is present โ€ข Root zone likely healthy ๐Ÿ‘‰ What happens below is always reflected above โ€” and right now, above looks great โธป ๐ŸŒฑ Overall Plant Behavior This Week โ€ข Stretch is still active but slowing gradually โ€ข Bud sites are multiplying and organizing โ€ข Structure is now clearly defined โ€ข No major stress signals observed This is a transition week: ๐Ÿ‘‰ From growth โ†’ into true flower production โธป ๐Ÿ”ฎ What to Expect Next (Week 6 Flower) Going forward: โ€ข Stretch will slow down significantly โ€ข Plants will redirect energy into: โ€ข Bud stacking โ€ข Resin production โ€ข Pistils will multiply rapidly โ€ข Aromas will intensify further ๐Ÿ‘‰ This is where the plant stops building itselfโ€ฆ and starts building the flower โธป ๐Ÿ™ Closing Words To everyone here: โ€ข Followers and non-followers โ€ข Supporters and critics โ€ข New growers and OGs โ€ข Silent watchers and active voices โ€ข Sponsors, platforms, and communities ๐Ÿ‘‰ If youโ€™re here, you are part of this journey Energy doesnโ€™t ask for permission โ€” it just flows So trulyโ€ฆ thank you all From grower to growers ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿ“ก Please stay tuned they can try and take us down but we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW ๐Ÿ™ Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Photography is part of the story โ€” itโ€™s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words canโ€™t always capture. Iโ€™ve also started experimenting with photo stacking โ€” a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. Itโ€™s not digital enhancement or AI; itโ€™s pure photography โ€” a way to reveal the plantโ€™s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. Youโ€™ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots โ€” camera, lens, setup โ€” because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Big Blue
Starting to warm up out here, getting real hot in the garden. Blueberry is showing her tiny preflowers and they are looking nice and pointed and very female - still waiting on a pistil to make 100% confirmation. About a month of veg left and I'm thinking it's going to really add some size on in that time. Happy growing!
Purple Haze Auto (CCG - Sensible Seeds)
The weather took a complete turn this week, bringing cooler temperatures and a few rounds of rain. To keep those precious buds safe from direct moisture, I kept her under a roof outside. The humidity spiked a few times due to the rain, but luckily it cleared up quickly enough each time without staying damp for too long. Honestly, this plant is just an absolute joy to cultivateโ€”she is making this outdoor run so much fun! Bud & Color Update: Those purple buds are becoming more beautiful with every passing day. The contrast of the colors out in the natural light is just breathtaking. As expected, she is taking her time and will definitely need to run a bit longer than the Black Orchid Auto to fully ripen, but I am more than happy to wait when the results look this good. Don't forget to swing by the Black Orchid Auto diary on my profile to see how close she is getting to harvest!
God father OG By Zamnesia Pheno A
๐Ÿ‘‘ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno A Week 11 | The Queen Finally Gets Her Portraits ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And this week... WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Yes, my friends. After somehow managing to lose the individual photographs of our Queen for two consecutive weeks, I can finally confirm that Godfather OG Pheno A has officially returned to the photographic record. And because I felt slightly guilty about the previous weeks... I gave her TWO stacks. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ She deserved it. After all, she spent two weeks basically saying: "You keep talking about me, but where are my pictures?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Fair enough, Your Majesty. Here they are. And honestly... looking at these images, I'm very happy we made the effort. Because this girl is developing beautifully. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still doing absolutely everything in her own way. But now we can actually look closely at what she's been building. So let's give the Queen the spotlight again. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 11 โ€“ THE QUEEN KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Not much changed physically for the plants this week. And that's actually the point. The room is established. The plants have their structure. The flowering sites are developed. The environment is stable. The irrigation is running. The nutrition has been adjusted. The lighting has been upgraded. And now... we let them work. Godfather OG Pheno A is continuing to grow and develop in exactly the same room as everybody else. Same environment. Same general strategy. Same lighting system. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Different genetics. And once again, she's showing us her own interpretation of that environment. She's not trying to become Blueberry Muffin. She's not trying to become Cash Express. She's not trying to become Chem Brรปlรฉe. She's Godfather OG Pheno A. And she's doing it her way. ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE QUEEN FINALLY GETS HER PORTRAIT SESSION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Okay... I have to admit something. This week wasn't exactly a massive photography week. I didn't spend hours photographing every plant from every possible angle. But when I got to Godfather OG Pheno A... I looked at her and thought: "Nope. She deserves at least two stacks." ๐Ÿ˜‚ So that's exactly what we did. Two stacks. And I'm really glad we did. Because macro photography gives us a completely different way of looking at the plant. Suddenly, the canopy becomes a landscape. The flowers become mountains. The trichomes become a forest of tiny structures. And those beautiful orange and white pistils weave their way through everything. Looking at these images, you can really see how much resin coverage she's building. The flowers are absolutely covered. The sugar leaves are coated. The surface of the buds is sparkling. And the more you look... the more there is to discover. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž A CLOSER LOOK AT HER RESIN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the part of the photography that makes me stop every time. You take the image. Then you zoom in. Then you zoom in again. And suddenly... there are trichomes everywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG Pheno A is showing some beautiful resin development. The macro stacks reveal layers upon layers of trichomes sitting across the flower structure. Some areas look almost completely covered. Others show the green floral tissue underneath, surrounded by sparkling resin. And then you have those pistils running through everything, giving the flowers that beautiful contrast between green, white and orange. It's one of those moments where photography becomes more than simply documenting the plant. It becomes a way of seeing something that your eyes simply can't appreciate in the same way. The naked eye says: "That's a frosty flower." The macro stack says: "Look at ALL of this." ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ STILL THE SAME HUNGRY QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... before anyone thinks the Queen has suddenly become polite... No. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's still hungry. Godfather OG Pheno A continues to be one of the more demanding phenotypes in the room. That characteristic hasn't disappeared. If anything, it has become part of her identity throughout this run. She's a large plant. She's got a substantial structure. She's supporting a lot of foliage. She's developing flowers throughout that structure. And she's using the resources available to her. That's one of the things I find so fascinating about running multiple phenotypes together. We can give the room a consistent foundation... and then watch the plants tell us what they think about it. Some are quieter. Some are more compact. Some are more relaxed. And then there's Godfather OG Pheno A. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ "More, please." She hasn't changed her position on the matter. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is really the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One general environment. And twelve completely different conversations happening between the genetics and that environment. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us one of the more obvious examples. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's substantial. She's built her own architecture. And now she's developing flowers across that architecture. The environment hasn't been specially designed for her. She's adapting to the same environment as everyone else. And that's exactly what makes the comparison interesting. We're not trying to force every plant into the same shape. We're observing. We're documenting. And we're allowing the genetics to speak. This Queen has certainly found her voice. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก MORE PHOTONS โ€“ SAME QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... we have another major change to talk about this week. The room is now running with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available light was more than we wanted to run at full output. So instead of simply throwing everything at the plants... we reduced the power. We're now running approximately 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. And I really like this setup. Because we're not chasing maximum power. We're creating capability. We have more lighting available when we need it... without needing to run every fixture flat out. That means more flexibility. More control. And, importantly, no reason to waste electricity simply because the fixtures are capable of producing more. The Queen doesn't need us to turn the room into a miniature sun. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She just needs access to the photons she can actually use. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ PHOTONS MEET PLANT ARCHITECTURE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is where Godfather OG Pheno A becomes particularly interesting. She's around 169 cm tall. She's not a small, compact plant. She's a three-dimensional structure occupying a significant amount of vertical space. So when we talk about ~1,500 PPFD at the upper canopy, that's only part of the story. The light interacts with the entire structure. Leaves intercept photons. Some light passes through. Some reaches deeper. Some reflects. Some is absorbed lower in the canopy. And then we have the additional Lumiflora lighting helping reach areas that naturally receive less direct illumination. The plant isn't a flat surface. She's a living structure. A three-dimensional photon-catching machine. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ And this Queen has plenty of surface area available for those photons to meet. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก FUTURE OF GROW โ€“ A BIG THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I also want to take a moment to give another big shoutout to Future of Grow. They supplied the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test in this adventure, and they've made a very interesting difference to the lighting capacity of the room. The beauty of having more available power isn't necessarily running everything at maximum. It's having headroom. It's having options. It's being able to distribute light across the room while controlling the actual output we're using. And right now... ~59% from the plug is giving us the ability to work around that ~1,500 PPFD upper-canopy target. That's a pretty impressive amount of light without needing to push the fixtures anywhere near their maximum. So thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures through their paces. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And now that we actually have photographs again... I think the flowers deserve a little attention. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The macro stacks show a plant that is clearly well into her flowering development. The floral structures are established. The pistils are developing beautifully. The resin coverage is becoming increasingly obvious. And there's that wonderful mixture of green flower tissue, white trichomes and orange pistils that makes every macro image look completely different from the one before it. This is the stage where I really enjoy documenting the plants. Because the changes aren't always dramatic from one day to the next. But put photographs from different weeks beside each other... and suddenly you can see the story. The plant has changed. The flowers have changed. The resin has changed. The structure has changed. And all those small changes add up. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ LITTLE INTERVENTION โ€“ LOTS OF OBSERVATION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Just like with the other girls... we didn't do much physically this week. And that's intentional. The major structural work has already happened. The plants are flowering. Healthy leaves are still doing their job. The flowers are developing. The root zones are being supplied. The environment is stable. So there isn't much reason for me to walk in there every day looking for something to cut. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is... nothing. Watch. Observe. Measure. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant actually grow. Godfather OG Pheno A certainly isn't asking me to interfere. She's busy enough doing her own thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ FEEDING โ€“ THE MENU HAS BEEN INCREASED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This week we also increased the nutrition slightly, just like with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom moved from: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.2 ml/L โ†’ 2.3 ml/L The rest of her current feeding remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required That small increase brought the room EC up a little. Current EC is around: โšก ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... the Queen is probably happy about this. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Although I wouldn't be surprised if she sends another royal request next week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues to remain very stable. Current conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h And again... the numbers are only one part of the story. The most important thing is how the plants are responding. And Godfather OG Pheno A is responding with: ๐ŸŒฟ Growth ๐ŸŒธ Flower development ๐Ÿ’Ž Resin ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Appetite ๐Ÿ‘‘ Personality That's a pretty good report card. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’จ SAME ENVIRONMENT โ€“ LET HER WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this point in the run, my main job is becoming increasingly simple. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep the airflow moving. Keep the lighting where we want it. And observe. The plant already knows what she's doing. Godfather OG Pheno A has spent the entire run building the structure that she's now using to support these flowers. So now we get to watch the payoff. All those branches. All those leaves. All those photons. All that root activity. All those days of growth. Coming together in these flowers. That's the part of the grow that I love. ๐ŸŒฟโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ TWO STACKS FOR THE QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And I think the two macro stacks were absolutely justified. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ After two weeks without her own photographic feature... she was owed. And honestly, these images remind me why I love doing stacked macro photography so much. A single photograph can show you a beautiful flower. A focus stack can reveal an entire world. Every tiny trichome becomes visible. Every little variation in the surface becomes part of the image. You start seeing structures that you simply don't notice when standing in front of the plant. And with Godfather OG Pheno A... there is certainly plenty to look at. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž So yes. Two stacks. Because apparently the Queen's photographic allowance had been accumulating interest. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now we continue watching. The plant is established. The flowers are developing. The resin is becoming more obvious. The nutrition has been increased slightly. The lighting environment has been expanded. And the Queen is still doing what she does best. Growing. Eating. Flowering. And occasionally making me feel like I'm not feeding her enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I'm curious to see how the flowers continue developing from here. I'm curious to see how the resin expression progresses. And I'm especially curious to see what the next macro session reveals. Because now that we've finally got her photographic record back... I'm not losing it again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I hope. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE QUEEN IS BACK ON CAMERA โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So... Week 11. And for once... we actually have individual photographs of Godfather OG Pheno A. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ After two weeks of photographic disappearance, the Queen has officially returned to the camera. And honestly? She looks fantastic. She's still tall. She's still hungry. She's still demanding. She's still building. She's still catching photons. And she's still developing those beautiful flowers that have made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. The room hasn't changed specifically for her. The environment remains shared. The lighting has been upgraded for the whole room. The nutrition has been increased for the whole room. And yet... she continues to interpret everything in her own way. That's the experiment. That's the beauty of phenotypes. Same room. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different expression. Different story. And Godfather OG Pheno A is definitely writing her own. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ This week, she finally got her photographs. Two beautiful stacks. And I think we can all agree... she was worth the wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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 explore these different phenotypes.

Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep everything 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 these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to be such a fascinating experience. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's still one of the loudest characters in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's hungry. She's demanding. She's tall. She's beautiful. She's covered in developing flowers and resin. And apparently... she also expects a proper photography budget. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Fair enough. She earned it. So let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching the flowers develop. Let's keep documenting the differences. And most importantly... let's let the Queen shine. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And this time... I actually have the photographs to prove it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video.

This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.
Northern Chai Latte Light - Micro Grow
Considering the tiny pot she gets a big dosis of Plagon nutrients every time I water. Still some nutrient deficiencies but that's inevitable in a 400ml container I'd say! ๐Ÿ˜‡ She also got some homebrewed Stinging and Forest Nettle Tea, this plant is all about the Tea baby! And her buds will definately be enjoyed with a cup of Chai Tea ๐Ÿ˜†

Things are going pretty good the smaller plant that was growing crooked fixed itself and is starting to grow a lot faster. They both just started sprouting hairs and the tent is starting to smell nice. Also I only mixed in 1 tablespoon of grow dots into each 3 gallon pot. My last grow with Tropicana cookies I did 2 tablespoons of grow dots in 3 gallon pots and had tiny yellow tips throughout the grow. 1 tablespoon seems to be doing the trick this time with the poundcake.

MOBY DICK by Seeds Mafia
Hi Dear Friends, ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ Responded well to topping, plant is developing good and strong! โœ… VEGETATIVE week #5 ๐Ÿ“…this week goes from 12/12 to 18/12.๐Ÿ“… ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กViparspectra XS2000 is working at 50% power. ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ”Fertilization schedule:๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’‰ 14/12 eposom salts 2g/l foliar and 1g/l irrigation WE ARE BACK!!! We are back after a little pause. We take a break because we were too busy to post high quality diaries. In the last diaries we tried to post as good as possible and we have to publish about 6 or 8 diaries (in addition to these that we will publish shortly). We opened also an educational Instagram page, we growed a lot in a short amount of time BUT, Instagram suspended our account and we lost all our posts, I was so sad and disappointed... a lot of work lost in a night.... Now we started a new grow with six awesome strains!!!!! In this diary you will see our journey with MOBY DICK by our friends Seeds Mafia, sit down and enjoy the show! We are growing in a 15L Smart Pot with Light Mix soil by BioBizz Moby Dick is a potent and productive strain that may reach a maximum of 21% THC. Although it may be grown indoors, it will yield the maximum results when grown outdoors thanks to its sativa genes that make it resilient to pests but also because it needs much light and lots of space to reach its full potential. Its flowering period is about 60 days, and when grown indoors it reaches the maturity in about 9 weeks and gives a harvest of 650 grams per m2. When grown outdoors, it is harvested in early October and may even reach 1000-1500 grams per plant. Speaking of the effects, it is a typical indica which produces a high level of relaxation with some mixed sativa effects that stimulate the brain. It also has intense and long-lasting effects. Speaking of the flavor, Moby Dick Feminized mixes the floral accents with the coniferous and woody ones and leaves a persisting spicy taste in the mouth. If you want to be high, you should definitely try this one! ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ Here you can buy seeds of this top shelf strain: https://seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html?search_query=MOBY+DICK&results=2 ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’กOUR SET UP๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ง โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฒVIPARSPECTRA ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ• ViparSpectraยฎ๏ธ XS2000 240W Infrared Full Spectrum LED Grow Light: Excellent ratio between wattage and ppfd, excellent light penetraton, perfect light spectrum (it also has IR ๐Ÿคฉ) and it has the best build quality on the market.

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

VERY BIG VARIATION BETWEEN BEANS. ONE IS SUPER AHEAD THE OTHER IS SUPER BEHIND. BUT ATLEAST ALL 5 SPROUTED. THATS NOT BAD. I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO LST. SO FAR JUST BEEN SPRAYING WATER DAILY AT SUNRISE. NOTHING ELSE. IM A SOIL GROWER. THESE ARE ALL REUSED SOIL. ADDED DRY AMENDMENTS AND HOME-MADE WORM CASTINGS AND EGG SHELLS. 3-4 GAL POTS. NOTHING HUGE. BUT I KNOW THEY NEED MORE SUN. THATS FOR SURE. THEY ARE NOT IN THE BEST LOCATIONS. BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FRUIT TREES IN BACK YARD. DIFFICULT TO FIND A GOOD FULL SUN SPOT.
