Der Stretch is ist im vollem Gange und den Lady geht es soweit gut ! 2 Der Damen haben ein etwas schlechteres Wachstum,sie wurden etwas mehr aufgebockt um nicht unter zu gehn.Teils wurde ein wenig etwas Untergestellt um das Hรถhenwachstum den grรถรŸten Pflanzen anzupassen.Nachdem ich die Pflanzen รผberprรผft habe musste ich leider feststellen das zwei Damen von oben bis unten voller Sรคcke waren.Diese wurden sofort entfernt ! Bei allen anderen passt alles soweit. ๐Ÿ˜‰

8/26 she started showing flower. She has been looking very happy. Her leaves pointing high. Since I have been feeding her more her color has been looking much better. Her green is darker then it has ever been. 9/9 Fed 8 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom 28 MLs Foxfarm Tiger Bloom. 9/11 Gave her a little rice water and regular water. Cloudy and some rain today. Also she is starting to smell from a distance. 9/12 4 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom 12 MLs Foxfarm Tiger Bloom. Couple of cloudy days, so only 1 gallon. 9/15 Fed 1.25 teaspoons of Foxfarm Beasti Bloom. She is not growing anymore and working on her bud. So this is her first week of Beasti Bloom. She seems to be budding ok, don't have anything to compare her to. The way I trained her, she is almost all tops. She is greener than she has ever been before. Also a couple of the lower leaves that where fading a bit. The tips look are browning. The leaves where already fading, so I'm not sure if it's a little nuit burn. None of the top and newer growth leaves have any issues. Still I am going to cut back on the nuits a little. This strain is supposed to be a heavy feeder. So I'm going to cut back, but just a little. Probably drop it down to 2 feedings a week. Very nervous about this part of the grow. My autoflower grows were poor genetics. So I am counting on this plant to hold me over for the winter and even spring. Her leaves are a solid green. So I think she is good on N, so I'm thinking maybe this week I should switch over to the Foxfarm Beasti Bloom. Make sure she is solid with P and K.

Well post tropical storm Ophilia report. Made it through with only minor damage. Thank goodness! I had to laeve town for a wedding in NC over the weekend and realized i might not be able to get back in time to protect the girls. They did ok. Drinking a lot less water now that it has cooled down. From 4 gals/ day back to 2 gal / day! Ill update with some better pics later, happy growing all!

It's day 40 for The Tropical Ice Cream One and she has fully recovered from last week's topping. I'm continuously training the 8 mains to keep a low profile and also taking off leaves here and there. Will probably give her a couple more days before I'll flip to 12/12, would love to veg her for longer. Gave some BTI and Nematodes to deal with the last surviving fungus gnats, hopefully for good. - Temperature: 27ยฐC - RH: 66% - PPFD: ~480 Thanks for checking in and see you next week! Happy growing ๐ŸŒฑ

I expect these girls too be flying into forming buds this week hoping all sites give generously as it seems they are all thick with pistils as can see ๐ŸŒฑ lollipopping has benefitted from what I can tell. Intensity of light reduced hopefully no issues to come from that as I seen leaves tips burnt slightly so changed light ๐Ÿ’ก The smaller tropicana cookies ff looks like shes gonna produce some nice sizes heads ๐Ÿคž If anyone has any comments feel free, thanks guys/girls Please note all feeds measurements are per litre

Day 57: #1 has been successfully transplanted to a 10gal smartpot. We used ocean forest soil and happy frog mixed at a ratio of 1:3. It has higher p&K and were getting ready for flower Day 59: #2 is still in the 3gal pot of happy frog. She isn't showing any signs of nutrient deficiency or stress and because of size restrictions I think I'll leave her in this pot. Day 61: watered with real growers recharge today. 1st time watering since transplanting #1. And she seemed to be okay. We have decided to start watering every day and not for run off.i cant get a good routine and sometimes they get bone dry. So to avoid that we will water a couple cups every day and allow 36hrs of drought 1x a week. Day 63: Pulled the girls out for a photo OP tonight ๐Ÿ˜ also we watered #2. Then we did a mild defoliation because the new optic 8+ arrived today!!! The entire tent is set for flower!! I will be starting flower tomorrow morning and also be taking clones from these girls as well so we can get some good info logged on how the Choc mint clones too! Week recap: 2x optic 8 LEDs for 1000 true watts 60%-70% dehumidity at all times 73ยฐ-83ยฐ tent temps all times Happy frog soil Real growers recharge Ac Infinity t8 fan with carbon filter Dehumidifier Several oscillating fans 8,00btu portable air conditioner

27/08/2025 18:00 A lot of days passed from the last time,rain and storm for a full week with a little bit of sun Unfortunately some boars found my spot and destroyed the barrier,another branch of the frostbanger,completely eat one of the Coco fresh and the other one was fallen apart i think she won't survive,even the apricot auto felt down with one side facing the soil,an absolute disaster Wtf did i do wrong in my life ๐Ÿคฌ #1 gorilla z auto,she's going to fiinish soon 2 maybe 3 weeks,smell Is now strong less z terps now the gorilla odour Is coming trough so potent Some pistils are turning brown and the resin Is so thick that i had difficult doing defoliaton #2frostbanger auto,one full branch destroyed on this one i don't know how many grams will i have at the end,heavy defoliation as the buds are rock hard,yes they're already rocks Smell Is just like lemonade with a very tiny creamy gassy flavour,good but not comparable to the extreme resin production Hope the final flavour will become more complex because this is definitively the best weed appeal i ever grown #3 Coco Milk,boars didn't touch her i don't know why Really nice develope trough these days but no pistils yet,strange at the end of august Awesome plant structure did remove only two branches at the bottom and some leaves #4 apricot auto,found her felt on one side ,she will stay small maybe less then 20 g at the end Buds are becoming purple and already has a peachy flavour #5 Coco fresh,the disaster one completely destroyed, found her broken with most of the roots in the air,soil all onto the ground, did the best that i can but i think Is going to die The Little Coco fresh fully eaten,vanished,puff

Day 37 marks the official start of flowering, with strong stretch, healthy pistil formation, and a fully stabilized canopy after completing all LST work. Feeding is set at 2-2-2.5 (Micro/Grow/Bloom), no additives yet, and root pressure looks excellent with visible post-watering guttation and vigorous growth. Environment is stable at 23.5ยฐC and 50% RH, main light runs at 100% from 80 cm to allow stretch before lowering both lamps for full flowering intensity next week.

D42: She looks like she was responding to the switch to the hps tent by going into flower, but I pulled out my last flowering plant and switched the bulb to MH so it'll be interesting to see if she revegs now of if she keeps trying to flower. I had a plant do this before and I ended up chucking it because it got confused and stopped growing. She's got tonnes of nodes now though, pulled four fan leaves from the main stem to open up the insides to light and due the half attempt at mainlining at a young age she's got weird posture and lots of branches. Gave her a feed of organic grow. D47: another feed of organic grow and humid acids. Some more lst, and picked four leaves off that were blocking nodes. D48: looked like she took almost the whole week to look like she recovered from the transplant shock. The lst yesterday made everything real nice and even. I think I'll keep tying her down and when all the branches reach the same height I'll change the tent to flower.

Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 3 Veg Phase Ayy, what it do fam? Zuppler back on the check-in with that week 3 veg report, live from the capital. Yo, these girls ainโ€™t playinโ€™ no more โ€“ they really startinโ€™ to stack up, lookin' thick in the canopy like they preppin' for somethinโ€™ big. We still runninโ€™ that Advanced Nutrients like clockwork, straight through that RO water, keepinโ€™ it pure as a Miami night breeze. The nodes are gettinโ€™ tight, leaves spreadinโ€™ out nice and wide, takinโ€™ all that light. I hit โ€˜em with a little scrog, just a lilโ€™ bend here and there, makinโ€™ sure that light hit every corner of the canopy. You already know Iโ€™m tryinโ€™ to maximize that potential. Stems got that thick structure, and no signs of nute burn or nothinโ€™. Weโ€™re talkinโ€™ flawless execution, fam. At this point, itโ€™s just watchinโ€™ โ€˜em fill out, keepinโ€™ the environment dialed in and lettinโ€™ โ€˜em do their thing. Weโ€™re settinโ€™ the stage for a strong finish when we flip โ€˜em to flower. Zuppler out, stay blessed.

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŒธ The Queen Is LOUDโ€ฆ And She's Looking Better Than Ever Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Guess what? The Queen is still shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘โœจ๐ŸŒธ 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... ๐Ÿ˜‚ OH MY GOD. This girl is LOUD. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ I don't know yet if she's going to be the loudest plant in the entire 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. 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‘‘ WEEK 13 โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ‘‘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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ 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. 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 LOOKING BEAUTIFUL And then we get to the part that really matters... the flowers. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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. 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 THE RESIN IS STILL GETTING MY ATTENTION Of course... I can't talk about this girl without talking about the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ 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. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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. 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‘ƒ AND THEN THERE'S THE SMELL... Okay. We need to talk about this. Because this girl is LOUD. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean... LOUD. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ 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”Š 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? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ 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. 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 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?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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. 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ค๏ธ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ 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. 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 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: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug And the upper canopy remains around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD That's a lot of photons flying around this jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 8ร—8 Adventure. 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 SAME PHOTONS โ€” 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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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 NUTRITION โ€“ 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: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L with the EC now around: โšก ~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. 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 PLANT GETS THE FINAL VOTE This is probably one of the biggest lessons from the entire 8ร—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. 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 DESERVES HER PORTRAITS And yes... the Queen gets her photographs again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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. 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 13 โ€“ CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8ร—8 continues under the same general environment: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 13 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD โ€” ~1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output โ€” ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH โ€” approximately 6.0 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 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. 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 SAME ROOM โ€” 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ That's her expression. That's her story. And I wouldn't change it. 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 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. 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? 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... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ 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. 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ค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LOUD, BEAUTIFUL & STILL THE QUEEN Week 13. And Godfather OG Pheno A is still shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ I don't know if she's going to be the loudest girl in the 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”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”€ ๐Ÿ™ 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 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ 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. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ 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 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ And possibly... very, very loud. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ 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. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘

August 28 is officially day 1 for me. Every single one of these popped easily and came out of the soil with zero issues. The seedling stage stresses me out so Iโ€™m glad things are already off to a good start. Toking one down for good luck *puff puff pass*.
