Let the Sun Shine! ☀️ The tide is finally turning! After about ten days of playing the waiting game with gloomy indoor skies, the weather has finally broken. The sun has been out for the last 2 days, and you can literally see the difference—the plants have immediately responded with a noticeable jump in growth. They were definitely eager to put some work in once the light finally showed up! Training & Development: 🌿 I’ve decided to start some LST (Low-Stress Training) this week to help open things up and maximize my space. I’ve started training the Banana Purple Punch and the Amnesia Haze, which you can see starting to take shape in the photos. I’ve decided to let the Lemon Cherry Cookies do her own thing and grow "naturally" for now—it’ll be interesting to see the structural contrast later on. Feeding Strategy: The experiment is officially in full swing: Team Organic: I’m still sticking to plain tap water for the Banana Purple Punch and Amnesia Haze. They seem perfectly content, and I plan to hold off on any additional feeding until I see them transitioning into the flowering phase. Team Mineral: The Lemon Cherry Cookies and Bruce Banner received their very first light dose of Hesi mineral nutrients today. I’m starting low and slow to see how they handle it. Maintenance & Outlook: 🛡️ I also did some preventative maintenance yesterday by spraying a Neem oil solution to keep any potential pests at bay. You can definitely tell they’ve had a tough 1.5 weeks living without supplemental lighting, but the forecast is looking much brighter now. They are hungry for those rays and ready to start packing on some real growth. I’m feeling much more optimistic now that the weather is finally playing along—time to let them hit the gas! May the green thumb be with you 💚

***I’m not sure why but it’s only letting me put 100 growing plants, but I actually harvested 180 plants in three separate rooms of about 300 sqfeet almost each, running in at 350 g per plant *** Given her being my first grow, I don’t really have anything to compare to but me and my plants have gone through a lot this year. Definitely going to need filters with this one, for the strong scent. 10 out of 10 would recommend this strain. I tried some fish fertilizer through some of the early growth and everytime I did, I would notice the plants beginning to burn so I completely stopped it, I learned organic is the best way to go if I’ll ever be using fertilizer again. This is the only way I would’ve learned it through experience! I didn’t think I can make it all the way through with my harvest, but ever since I got on Growdiaries everybody has helped me tremendously with every question I had, without the site my whole to harvest would’ve went to shit along time ago. Haha I really can’t thank my Growmies here enough for all their support. Every time I thought about giving up I would have uplifting comments assuring me my plants we’re doing fine. A message to all nee growers. Don’t be afraid of failure. Ask questions. I don’t know when my next grow will be but when, or if I decide to grow again, I’ll definitely document it on the best possible weed growing platform. Cheers friends!

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 The Stretch Is Over, the Show Is Beginning Every week inside the 8×8 Adventure feels like another chapter unfolding, and Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially entered one of the most exciting stages of her life. From the moment she germinated under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, her goal has been to prove that autoflowers can still build impressive structure and healthy development under a flowering light schedule from day one. Now, after weeks of careful Low Stress Training, patient leaf tucking, and allowing her natural architecture to develop, she has fully transitioned into flowering. This week isn’t about explosive vegetative growth anymore. It’s about transformation. The first real flowers are forming, the canopy is alive with brilliant white pistils, and every branch is beginning to reveal the framework that will eventually become her harvest. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – Frosted Guava Finds Her Rhythm The flowering transition couldn’t have gone much smoother. Standing at approximately 99 cm, Frosted Guava has developed into a beautifully balanced medium-sized plant that fills her space naturally without becoming overwhelming. The stretch is slowing down, allowing more energy to shift toward flower production rather than vertical growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this phenotype is her internodal spacing. Every branch has enough room to breathe while remaining close enough together to promise excellent bud stacking in the weeks ahead. Nothing feels crowded, nothing feels sparse—it simply looks naturally well built. Looking from above, the canopy is incredibly satisfying. Looking from the side, her structure tells exactly the same story. Healthy. Balanced. Ready. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Development Throughout vegetative growth the focus has remained on keeping the canopy open instead of forcing the plant into an artificial shape. Regular Low Stress Training combined with gentle leaf repositioning has allowed every developing branch to receive strong light without creating unnecessary stress. Those small adjustments are beginning to pay off now. Multiple flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, air movement through the canopy remains unrestricted, and each branch has space to develop independently. Sometimes the simplest training methods produce the most natural-looking plants. Frosted Guava is becoming a perfect example of exactly that. ⸻ ? The First Flowers One of my favorite moments in every grow is watching those first clusters of bright white pistils appear. This week they’re everywhere. Each tiny white hair is another confirmation that flowering is fully underway, marking the locations where future buds will continue building over the coming weeks. The tops are already beginning to gather themselves into small floral clusters, while every node along the branches is joining the party with fresh pistils reaching toward the light. There’s something incredibly satisfying about this stage. Everything still looks delicate… Yet you already know what’s coming. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Color remains outstanding across the entire canopy. The foliage carries a beautiful healthy green tone from top to bottom, with fresh new growth emerging vibrant and full of life. Leaf posture remains excellent, stems continue thickening nicely, and the plant simply gives the impression of being comfortable in her environment. There are no distractions. She’s focused entirely on growing flowers now. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation With flowering now established, Frosted Guava is receiving the complete transition feeding program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 The AutoPot system continues delivering consistent irrigation, allowing the root zone to remain stable while supporting the increasing nutritional demands that come with early flower. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The entire room continues operating as one stable ecosystem, giving every phenotype the same opportunity to express its unique characteristics. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Despite the warm summer conditions, the plants continue responding exceptionally well thanks to stable irrigation, healthy roots, strong airflow, and carefully maintained environmental consistency. The room continues doing the heavy lifting. The plants simply reward it. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Now the fun really begins. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect the vertical stretch to gradually come to an end as Frosted Guava redirects nearly all of her energy toward building flowers. Those tiny white pistils will soon develop into recognizable bud sites, resin production will begin increasing, and the beautiful open structure she’s built throughout vegetative growth should translate into excellent light penetration and strong flower development across the entire canopy. She’s entering the stage every grower waits for. And she’s entering it beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno A is exactly where I hoped she would be at this point in the grow. Healthy. Balanced. Beautifully structured. She’s a reminder that successful flowering starts long before the first pistils appear. Every careful adjustment during vegetative growth—from LST to leaf tucking—has helped create the strong framework she’s now using to build what promises to be an impressive canopy of flowers. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality inside this shared environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, advice, and encouragement continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

These week as seen the biggest development of colas in only a few days. We have started to feed pk13/14 aswell as boost accelerater and a and b. Responding well to feed appt from slight nute deficiency in one plants but I suspect due to boost overdose 2 weeks ago.

She is showing her flowery self. Still very symetrical and very bushy. I am doing a light defoilation every few days to get the buds sites exposed. She really has potential to yield great flower.

June 21st - they are doing great with the newa ac unit. temps are saying around 25-26. They are just growing away. I decided this week I would swap there nutrients for transition to flower. I watered them today with the first mix of the recommended transition to flower. June 22nd - Still growing away, they seem to be picking up growth quite a bit now! June 23rd - Starting to explode with growth! Everything looks healthy. I have turned the lights up to about 85% now. Gave them a feeding today, again with the transition to flower recommendation. June 24th - Still growing like crazy. They are on a 12/12 schedule and it looks like they're on there way to flower! Junes 25th - Lots of growth in the last 5 days. They have perked up a ton, grown a ton of fan leafs and its almost time to do some more lst or defoliation. Gave them another feeding today. I have decided to just feed with every watering as it is the manufactures recommendation. June 26th - Took the girls out and did some LST on them again as they were starting to become pretty uneven. Unfortunately I only took pictures/videos of the one plant. You can definitely see the growth since the start of this week. They seem to be getting pretty dry by the morning so I have been feeding roughly every 24-36 hours making sure not to overwater. June 27th -They popped back up overnight and are just growing away. Another watering today. Roughly 3L per plant. Again making sure not to overwater.

Hey Cannafam Happy Weekend 😊 My Mexican gals have had a hot week in the tent/cupboard. We've had some really hot days here in the UK with temps reaching 30c and remaining hot at night in the 20s. As a result things have been hot in the tent too and ive dailed the side lighting back to level 3 to stop things going over the 30c mark. VPD is currently at 1.48 but has been swinging in the range of 1.1 = 1.6 and the dehumidifier has been going 24/7. Despite the swings my gals are looking pretty happy and have got taller, the one that started life strangling herself was actually touching the light, her stem was to inflexable to bend, so applying a little pressure between thumb and for finger the tissue inside was softend and ive gently bent her top down away from the light and she seems ok. Il need to figure out how to support her thou should she become top heavy. The short veg time is a good call with this strain if growing upwards with no other training! Flower development is coming along slowly but surely and but got a long way to go and pistils are looking vibrant. Both gals have had two feeds this week and im watering to a heavy run off due to the small pots, they have then drunk evrrything back up by the morning. So far so good and im enjoying watchin these gals develop 😊 Thats all from me this week, thanks for stoppin by ✌️💚
