4/7 10:30PM All Photo's are looking great, using soft water so salts build up faster, have to water them in the bathtub for lots of runoff now 4/8 what are all the plants in tent 5 Montel is doing really good in the 1 gallon smells the strongest of all of them the two Mike Tyson plants the photos are doing great. The corkscrew auto that turned out not to be an auto that ended up revenging and now it’s flowering again it has a really nice strong main stock and it will probably produce a nice Maine cola. I got lucky with that one and bubbles blueberry is doing pretty good considering I didn’t grow her right I was incapacitated for a couple of months so she overgrow. I usually do four colors, but I kept her in veg for several months and I think I’m gonna take several of the trailer Park boys plants and possibly ice tea body count and revenge them 4/9 4:455AM "revenge them"😂 To maintain my overdramatic ways...and the phone didnt hear me right, any time I RE_VEG a plant its now REVENGING THE PLANT...... PERFECT....ON EARTH ...200 YEARS AGO I WAS A PRINCE WITH POWER OVER MIDGETS AND FANTASY ISLAND.... my scattered old memories... Star Trek Wrath of Khan / Fantasy Island grow is next!!!..OR if I have the money a CHiPs grow, a Knight Rider grow, 6 million dollar man grow...back when that was a lot of money to throw a way on some downed pilot...what waste of time..... Oh LOOOK what I found Larry Wilcox from ChiPs https://larrywilcox.net/shop/ 4/9 7:22AM ICE T smoking right now. Smell so nice and sweet just great. Took the bottom branches, dried over night and just fine!! 4/11 4:55AM.💫 BLUEBERRY KO (BLUEBERRY KNOCK-OUT) --- ""That’s awesome—congrats on successfully making your own seeds👨‍🔬 and getting them to pop! Turning a stressed **Bubbles Blueberry F4** (the Brothers Grimm/Trailer Park Boys collab with that classic sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and fruity terps) into a pollen donor and hitting a **Gelato 44** (the RQS x Tyson 2.0 “Mike Tyson” version, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC) is a fun little home breeding project. You only got five seeds, planted several, and they’re already showing **distinct phenotypes** that don’t even look like siblings. That’s not surprising at all—it’s actually super common and part of what makes seed-grown cannabis exciting (and “miraculous,” as you put it). ### Why the variation is so noticeable - The **Gelato 44** mother is an **indica-dominant hybrid** (roughly 75% indica / 25% sativa) with its own built-in phenotypic range. Gelato lines are famous for expressing differently even from the same batch—some lean more purple, some greener, some more compact, some stretchier, with varying creamy/fruity/earthy notes. - Your pollen came from a single stressed **Blueberry F4** plant. Blueberry genetics (especially DJ Short-inspired lines like Bubbles Blueberry) carry strong fruity/berry traits, but F4s still have some genetic diversity. Stress (light, temp, etc.) can sometimes influence pollen quality or expression, but the main driver here is the wide gene pool from crossing two poly-hybrid parents. - 👨‍🔬💡These are true **F1 hybrids** from two different lines. F1s often show **hybrid vigor** (faster growth, resilience), but they also segregate traits a lot—some offspring pull more from the Blueberry side (broader leaves, berry aromas, possibly purple hues, compact structure), others lean toward the Gelato 44 (denser buds, minty/cookie/berry dessert flavors, more indica-dominant body). A few might be nice intermediates. That’s why they “don’t even look like they’re from the same plant.” It’s like siblings in a family—same parents, but wildly different looks, heights, smells, and effects. With only a handful of seeds, you’re basically running a mini phenotype hunt, which is exactly how breeders discover keepers. ### What to expect as they grow out - **Vegetative stage**: Watch for differences in leaf shape (Blueberry influence might give broader, darker leaves; Gelato can be more serrated or colorful), internodal spacing, and vigor. Some may be bushier, others stretch more. - **Flowering**: Look for aroma differences early—sweet blueberry jam/cream from the dad mixing with Gelato’s creamy vanilla, fruity cheesecake, citrus, or subtle mint/earth. Colors can range from deep greens to purples depending on temps and genetics. - **Effects**: Likely a balanced-to-indica lean (relaxing body with some euphoric head), but potency and flavor will vary plant to plant. THC around 18–24% is common in these parents, so the offspring should be solid for personal use. - All sound healthy and “good” from what you said—that’s the win. Since you have so few, treat them like gold: take clones from the most promising ones early if you can (especially any standouts in structure, smell, or growth). That way you can keep the best phenotypes going without relying on the seeds again."

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

This is a strain that is very easy to grow and resistant, after the fourth week it sticks a lug, and does not need a lot of vitamins, it grew with only 13 and 12 hours of light and went through cloudy days and a lot of humidity

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A | Week 4 Building Momentum Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to tell its own story while revealing the subtle genetic differences that make every seed unique. Week 4 has been all about momentum. The explosive growth we witnessed last week has continued, and the entire room is now beginning to transition from a collection of young plants into a true miniature forest. Every morning seems to reveal another noticeable change, with canopies becoming fuller, branches extending further, and the first signs that these plants are preparing for the flowering stretch ahead. One thing that made me smile this week was the environmental reading… 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room decided to have a thing for the number three. 😄 While 33°C is certainly warmer than I’d normally aim for, the elevated humidity has helped keep the plants comfortable, and despite the warmer conditions the entire room continues to respond beautifully. Sometimes plants remind us that they can be a little more forgiving than we give them credit for—as long as every other parameter remains stable. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed One interesting development this week is the variation in PPFD across the room. The lighting itself hasn’t changed dramatically—instead, the plants have. Some phenotypes are simply growing faster than others, naturally moving closer to the LEDs and receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter plants remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that even under identical conditions, every phenotype follows its own timeline. ⸻ Feeding Strategy As the plants continue accelerating, the feeding program has started to evolve alongside them. Throughout the early weeks, the nutrient solution remained around pH 5.8, encouraging rapid nutrient availability while the young root systems established themselves. Now that those roots have colonized much more of each container, the strategy shifts slightly. This week the nutrient solution gradually moved closer to pH 6.1, while EC increased progressively throughout the week, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No bottles were suddenly doubled. No drastic increases were made. Instead, the nutrient ratios were simply nudged upward enough to match the plants’ increasing appetite. The difference is subtle inside the reservoir but very noticeable in how vigorously the plants continue to grow. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also opens access to a broader range of nutrients within the soil, helping the plants take advantage of their now much more established root systems as demand begins increasing. At this stage, the feeding philosophy remains exactly the same: Feed the plant—not the calendar. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A What can I say… This girl has quietly become one of those plants that instantly catches my attention every time I unzip the tent. Last week I mentioned how she had completely outgrown her slightly awkward beginning. This week she has gone one step further. She looks completely at home. Her overall structure is becoming incredibly balanced, with strong lateral branches beginning to establish themselves while the main stem continues pushing upward with confidence. The internodal spacing remains impressively tight, creating a compact architecture that feels both efficient and elegant. Looking from above, the canopy almost arranges itself. Large fan leaves radiate outward like carefully positioned solar panels, leaving the growing tips exposed without requiring any intervention. Every branch seems to know exactly where it wants to go. The new growth is particularly striking. Bright lime-green leaves emerge from the centre packed with energy before gradually darkening as they mature, creating that beautiful contrast that healthy, fast-growing plants often display. One of my favourite observations this week is just how relaxed she looks. Despite the warmer room temperatures and steadily increasing nutrient strength, there are no signs of stress. Leaves remain flat, praying gently toward the light throughout much of the day, while every new node arrives with confidence. She’s no longer simply growing. She’s beginning to express herself. Each passing day reveals a little more of her personality, and so far that personality can be summed up in one word: Consistency. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She isn’t trying to grow the fastest. She’s simply building herself into a beautifully proportioned plant, one node at a time. If she continues along this trajectory, I have a feeling she’s going to become something very special by the time flowering is fully underway. ⸻ Looking Ahead The coming week should mark another important transition. With nutrient demand increasing, roots fully established, and several plants beginning to move naturally into higher PPFD levels, growth is expected to accelerate even further. Over the next week I’ll be paying particular attention to: • Stretch progression as flowering begins to establish itself. • Branch strength and canopy development. • Continued response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared with her sister phenotype. • The first real signs of Blueberry Muffin’s flowering character beginning to emerge. If Week 3 was about proving her potential… Week 4 feels like the week she’s beginning to fulfil it. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every week is another page in the journal, and the adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

Please like and follkw my diary and check out my others!! Would appreciate the support🙏 Ok guys week 4 starting now and these girls have gotten all bushy and lushy!! I am just now setting up and starting to play around with time lapses lol here are my 2 tester videos to start. Any pointers and tips would be greatly appreciated👏 Soo the girls are doing great done a little lst and neem oil applied last night for pest prevention I wanted to bend down their main stems and do a little hst but unfortunately their main stemsare waaaay to thick for it, I'll add some pics later Ok and as for feeding we are following the advanced nutrients feeding schedule, no more pirahna for now I have measured EC and PPM this time but i need to go find my notes will add it into this weeks diary Ok that's it for now I've got another time lapse running so I'll add that one later today too!

Leider hat mir diese Woche die Zeit etwas gefehlt, um mich etwas ausgiebiger um mein Mädchen zu kümmern. So konnte sie in Ruhe noch etwas wachsen und sich auf die bevorstehenden Strapazen vorbereiten, indem sie ihr Wurzelwerk noch mehr ausbilden konnte und etwas an Größe zulegen konnte. Das ist auch gar nicht schlimm, da sie sowieso getoppt wird...

10/24/2018 Beginning of week #5, flowering stretching is slowing down,and filling out, not much to report on all seems well so that scares me a little. Week 6 and maybe week 7 I will be adding Overdrive by advanced nutrients. Have any of you guy's and/ or gals used it ? I would appreciate any feedback .. Also thinking about upping the bloom by .5ml, any experience with raising nute levels plant looks very healthy, just wondering if anyone thinks it is worth trying. I'am using PH Perfect, grow, micro, bloom, plus overdrive in week #6, and #7, as I'am not sure if it is a 10-12 week plant. Not sure if you seen some 11 FINGER leaves and longer thinner SATIVA like attributes. Much like pollen Father donor grapefruit male (SATIVA)😎 Ps. more pics in morning as my tablet is acting up! 10/29/2018 All is well resin is plentiful even larger leaves are sticky and citrusy( captain cake). Glad I cloned her! Got four starting to root,and ready to transplant transplant. Trading one for swami select green zebra 10/30/2018 Light defoiliating and little supercropping. To even out canopy.

End of the fourth week of flowering. The stretch being finished and the buds starting to grow, I added a little PK 13/14 to the OG Kush soup. The buds start to look like good big sausages ... A bit of defoliation here too to let the LED lights illuminate the buds of the lower floors.

Day 7, Week 7 – Flowering 🌸 It’s Day 7 of Week 7, and everything is on track! The buds are swelling nicely, and the trichomes are glistening under the lights. The grow room has that classic dank aroma, and it’s getting stronger by the day. I’m keeping an eye on the trichomes as chop day gets closer – I can’t wait! Almost there! 🌿✨

So my timelapse concentrated at this plant failed this week... 😭 But she's growing well. On the face of it she's only grown 10mm, but she's put out quite a bit of new leaf growth.

Settimana di lavaggio probabilmente la sua ultima. Le cime al tatto sono appiccicose ma più che altro farinose , emanano un aroma tropicale favoloso😋 Giorno 3 viene annaffiata con 1L di acqua a 0 ppm Giorno 7 oggi pomeriggio verrà tagliata Le cime sono veramente compatte e piene di resina come vedete nel video. Nel vassoio sottostante ci sono a sinistra la cima centrale e a destra l'altra apicale simmetrica.
