☀️ // Day 28 🌱 Damn, this plant made unreal progress in the last week. Kinda ridiculous, considering her rough start. I topped her last thursday, on day 24 of veg. She responded very, very well with an instant boost of the side branches. Her illness is also gone, all leafs are looking more healthy than I have ever seen in person. Now the soil seems to have stabilized itself and the BioTabs nutrients are kicking in. Beautiful to look at. Her fan leafs are also the biggest ones ever for me and with no signs of any nutrient related stress. I still removed them to boost light penetration to the side branches. This time it really broke my heart tho, because they were just the most beautiful leafs ever. Really loved the last week and I am excited again for the future of this beautiful plant. This time, I gave her 2 more branches. So I topped one node higher and try to lollipop pretty nicely to just have 8 main branches with no more sides what so ever. Just 8 branches of big buds, that's the goal. I watered her with another 2L on day 24, too. But she hasn't gotten anything since then because I pre-watered her on that day. The soil was not dry from the watering on day 22 but I was on vacation for 2 days. I wanted to make sure that she does not dry out. I will wait now one more day and feed her tomorrow, on day 29 with 3L. That makes a total of 5L since last weekly update. 💦 Watering: 5 L with pH = 6.5 💊 Fertilizer: Just water with epsom salt 💡 Light: 450 PPFD at 70%

Coming up on third base! No issues at all from the recent wetness and really getting some nice purps on the GG4xGSC and the Green Gelato. Ironically nothing yet on the Ayahuasca Purple.

Weird germination process: among the whole tent I had few duds so I had to replace and select. I noticed from the start that the seed didn't germinate correctly having kept the membrane closed tight on top, inclusive of seed shell. I manually removed the redundant seed shell and membrane myself. Germinated using the wet towel method, then planted with michoryzae powder as added boost. A couple of days later I have noticed that the top wilted while suffocated in the shell, however it is already sprouting a perfect "Y" " self-topped" shape to die for. I wasn't planning to train any of the plants in this grow but I will do it with this MOBY DICK: this strain is a high yielding sativa that has historically given me a consistent large harvest each time. It can bush out very quickly and I would have to allocate half a tent just for her.

Put her into a 10litre pot at end of last week. The suns not been out much but she's still doing alright.

This raspberry diesel smells like fruit punch so much just imagine the most fruit punch smelling drink you like and picture this plant smelling just like that the sour kosher has the sour diesel smell and the lemon chem 18 smells like lemon/sprite so much

another resin monster from seedstockers, with a very special scent, full of flavors! grinded it smelled like peppermint, and vaped it has a great sweet creamy taste!

Que grande es esta variedad, muy contento con El Progreso vegetativo de estos ejemplares. Iremos viendo estas semanas cómo florecen ya que cambiamos el fotoperiodo, la cosa os Aseguro que pinta muy bien.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. This week went great for the 5 mainlines. I got the final toppings completed for all the ladies, I got them done on the Sundae Driver and Red Hot Cookies on day 38, and the Durban Nights, Green Crack, and the Bubble Runtz topped on day 40 for the final time. At this point there is not much more training left to do, just some minor LST to try and keep all 8 tops per plant level, and some minor defoliation along the way. I am planning to Veg them for 1-2 weeks and flip to flower probably sometime in week 8 depending on how fast they grow. I do have them all on milk crates which are 10" each so I will place them on the floor and adjust the light power probably about the time I flip to flower to accommodate the stretch. I am still feeding GH nutrients, silica, cal mag, and maxi grow. I will transition to flower nutrients approximately one week after flipping to flower. I have found that it is important to continue feeding plenty of Nitrogen through the stretch. The only way I would transition sooner is if I was running out of vertical space. Still very pleased with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 69% and the plants seem very happy and healthy. The heat and humidity are finally letting up in my region so it is nice to be able to open some windows and drop the temp outside the grow tent. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

? 8×8 Adventure – Week 10 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A A Quiet Girl Starting to Show Her Character 💚🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 If you've been following this grow, you already know that Blueberry Muffin has never really been the girl trying to steal the spotlight. She's compact. She's controlled. She's not particularly tall. And compared with some of the more aggressive plants in the room, she has always had a slightly slower, quieter rhythm. But that's exactly what makes watching her so interesting. Because while some plants seem to scream: "LOOK AT ME!" Blueberry Muffin has always been more like: "Don't worry. I'm getting there." 😂? And this week... She's still getting there. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Keeping Things Steady We're not making any dramatic changes this week. Actually, quite the opposite. At this stage, consistency is becoming one of the most important tools we have. We're keeping the environment as close as possible to where it was last week, maintaining the same general lighting, irrigation and feeding strategy while allowing the plant to continue developing at her own pace. Of course... It's summer. ☀️ And summer has other plans. Keeping temperatures absolutely identical day after day isn't realistic. We see a degree up. A degree down. A small fluctuation here. Another one there. And that's perfectly normal. What matters is that we're keeping those variations controlled rather than allowing the environment to swing wildly. The things we can keep stable... We're keeping stable. The nutrient solution. The watering. The root-zone conditions. The light schedule. The general humidity. The lighting intensity. And most importantly... The routine. ──────────────────────── ? Blueberry Muffin – Still the Compact One Blueberry Muffin is currently around 75 cm, and that hasn't changed dramatically. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Not every plant needs to become a giant. Not every phenotype needs to stretch aggressively. This girl has been telling us from the beginning that she prefers a more compact architecture. She's building flowers. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply doing it in her own time. And looking at the photographs this week, that's becoming increasingly obvious. The plant may be compact... But she is certainly not lacking in flowers. The developing buds are becoming more pronounced throughout the canopy, with plenty of pistils and increasingly defined floral structures. She's quietly stacking. And that's what I want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Stagnant This is something I think is worth mentioning. When we say Blueberry Muffin is slower than some of her neighbours, that doesn't mean she's sitting still. Far from it. She's changing every week. The flowers are developing. The branches are carrying more weight. The plant is gradually shifting from producing new vegetative structure toward putting more emphasis on the flowers already established. It's just happening without the explosive vertical growth we've seen from some of the other plants. And honestly... That can be a beautiful trait. A compact plant can sometimes make canopy management much easier. There's less vertical drama. Less fighting for height. Less chasing branches. And more time to simply watch the flowers develop. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Lights – Where the Photons Go One of the things I'm particularly enjoying at this stage is watching how the lighting strategy interacts with this plant. We're not simply throwing light at the top of the canopy and hoping for the best. The Future of Grow LEDs are providing the main lighting foundation above the plants, delivering the primary photon supply that drives photosynthesis across the canopy. And then we have Lumiflora contributing additional light into areas that would otherwise naturally receive less illumination. That's an important distinction. Plants don't experience light as: "Top light." They experience photons arriving from different directions and at different intensities. Our job is to make as many of those useful photons available to productive foliage and developing flowers as practical. And Blueberry Muffin's compact structure makes this particularly interesting. Because she's not extremely tall, we're able to maintain a relatively controlled relationship between the light and the canopy. The upper flowers receive strong illumination. The inner structure receives additional support. And the lower portions aren't simply forgotten. We're trying to create a more complete light environment rather than relying entirely on what happens at the very top. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons Are the Currency I've said this many times throughout the 8×8 Adventure, but flowering is really where the relationship between light and plant structure becomes fascinating. Every photon that reaches a photosynthetic surface has the potential to contribute to the plant's energy production. But that doesn't mean: More light = automatically better. The plant still has to process that light. Temperature matters. Humidity matters. CO₂ matters. Leaf health matters. Root health matters. Water availability matters. Nutrition matters. Everything is connected. And that's why I like having the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting working as part of the overall system rather than simply increasing intensity without thinking about the rest of the environment. We're trying to give the plant useful light while maintaining the conditions necessary for her to actually make use of it. And Blueberry Muffin seems very happy with the arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Flowers, Flowers Everywhere The most rewarding part of this week's photographs is, without question, the flowers. They're becoming more obvious. More structured. More numerous. And increasingly confident. The pistils are still bright and prominent, but the buds themselves are starting to develop that unmistakable flowering architecture. This is the stage where the plant begins to transition visually from: "I have flowering sites." to: "I am building flowers." And Blueberry Muffin is doing exactly that. She's not rushing. She's not exploding upward. She's simply stacking one little piece onto another. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually we'll look back and wonder where all that floral mass came from. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stability Where We Can Control It One thing we're being particularly careful about this week is keeping irrigation and the root environment consistent. The current setup remains around: 💧 1.3 L per plant / 24 hours with the nutrient solution sitting around: 🌡️ 25°C and the substrate/root-zone temperature also around: 🌡️ 25°C These are the variables we can control much more directly than the outside summer temperature. So that's where the focus goes. If the room temperature moves a little because summer decides to remind us who's boss... Fine. We'll work with it. But there's no reason for the root zone, irrigation routine and nutrient delivery to become unstable at the same time. The more variables we can keep consistent, the easier it becomes to understand what the plants are actually telling us. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Don't Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding strategy also remains steady. We're not changing things simply because another week has passed. The plant is healthy. The foliage is beautifully green. The flowers are developing. There are no obvious signs telling me that she needs a dramatic intervention. So we're continuing with the established flowering nutrition: • Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required The goal isn't to chase numbers. The goal is to support the plant's current development and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. Sometimes the smartest adjustment... is making no adjustment at all. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Summer Challenge Our environmental target remains as close as possible to last week's conditions. We're currently around: • 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C • 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C • 💧 RH: ~60% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: ~25°C • 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h • ? Pot: 15 L • 📏 Height: ~75 cm Summer makes absolute precision difficult. One day gives us a little more heat. Another day gives us slightly less. The important thing is avoiding unnecessary swings and keeping the things we can control as consistent as possible. And so far... Blueberry Muffin is handling it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ A Compact Plant Has Its Advantages There's another reason I'm enjoying watching this phenotype. Her compact structure means she isn't creating the same vertical management challenges as some of the more vigorous plants in the room. She's occupying her space efficiently. The flowers are distributed across the plant. The canopy remains manageable. And because we're not dealing with an enormous stretch, it's easier to keep the lighting relationship consistent. This is one of those situations where different doesn't necessarily mean better or worse. It's simply... different. And that's exactly what the 8×8 Adventure is supposed to reveal. Twelve genetics. Twelve personalities. Twelve different ways of responding to essentially the same growing environment. Blueberry Muffin's personality continues to be: Compact. Calm. Slow and steady. But increasingly floral. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── ✨ Future of Grow + Lumiflora – Lighting the Way I also want to give another little spotlight to the lighting team this week. The Future of Grow LEDs continue doing their job above the canopy, providing the main source of light for this flowering room. And Lumiflora continues contributing additional photons where the canopy naturally becomes less exposed. I really enjoy seeing the difference this kind of layered lighting strategy can make. Instead of thinking about the plant as a flat surface... We're thinking in three dimensions. Top. Middle. Inside. Lower canopy. Every part has a different relationship with light. And while we can't make every flower receive identical intensity, we can certainly improve how photons are distributed throughout the plant. That's the goal. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better use of the light we have." And when I look at Blueberry Muffin's developing flowers... I think she's making very good use of it. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Observation Is Still the Most Important Tool At this stage, I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. We've built the plant. We've trained her. We've shaped the canopy. We've managed the foliage. We've established the lighting. We've established irrigation. We've established nutrition. Now we're watching. And that's sometimes the hardest part. Doing nothing can feel like you're not doing enough. But plants don't need us to touch them every day. Sometimes they just need: Good light. Water. Nutrition. Roots that can breathe. A stable environment. And time. Blueberry Muffin seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should become increasingly interesting. The plant remains compact, but the flowers are continuing to develop. The canopy is holding together beautifully. The lighting system is providing a strong and layered photon environment. The irrigation remains consistent. The nutrient programme remains stable. And we're simply going to continue watching. Summer may give us a degree here and there. That's okay. We'll do our best to keep everything else steady. Because the objective isn't to create a laboratory where nothing ever changes. The objective is to create an environment where the changes are small enough that we can understand them. And Blueberry Muffin? She's giving us a very clear message. She's not in a hurry. She's building. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let Her Be Herself I think that's probably the biggest lesson Blueberry Muffin is teaching me right now. Not every plant needs to be pushed. Not every phenotype needs to behave the same way. And not every slow-growing plant is a problem waiting to be solved. Sometimes... slow is simply slow. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's compact. And she's doing it all while the rest of the room is sometimes trying to run away from us. 😂 So we're going to respect her personality. We're going to keep the environment as stable as summer allows. We're going to keep the irrigation and root zone consistent. We're going to keep the nutrition steady. And we're going to continue giving her access to plenty of quality photons from the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting systems. Then we'll step back... and watch. Because eventually, that quiet little Blueberry Muffin is going to have her moment. And I think she's going to deserve every bit of the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and document this beautiful phenotype throughout the journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants through this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the main LED lighting powering this room and giving these plants the photons they need to keep building. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about lighting in three dimensions rather than simply from above. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week brings another little observation. Another comparison. Another lesson. And another reason to keep documenting. Blueberry Muffin may be one of the quieter girls in the room... But she's still writing her own story. And this week? She's doing it beautifully. Slow. Compact. Green. And increasingly covered in flowers. ?🌸💚 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth, who loved and given. Enought Hippie Talk, now have a nice day and an even better grow, thx for watching by. ((From Seed 🌱

April 22nd No changes to nut's, temp, or humidity, but we did have to raise the lights with the growth. I may have mixed up a couple of my Green Crack grow's images but I did the exact same with both grows with amazing results both times, so if you see three then four plants it is due to my well intentioned intent to post each of these as I did them but forgot. LOL

9/15/2024 Stretch is moving along nicely. Only bummer is that the tops are crowding the light fixture and reducing the total light penetration. Working to keep the PPFD and DLI in a reasonable range and even across the canopy. First day of week 3 bloom nutrients. Both plants are looking incredible and moving along nicely into flower. Working hard to keep Plant A from overcrowding plant B. 9/17/2024 Adjusting fan setup to promote better circulation around the tent. Continuing to move the light over plant A an inch at a time. Running out of room slowly and will likely be forced to supercrop. Added 40watt bar light over plant B to offset the take over from plant A. 9/21/2024 Discovered herm signs all over plant B during trimming. Decided to cull it to avoid issues with plant A. Going to work to tailor the tent setup to push plant A going forward. The empty bucket will remain in the tent but is disconnected from its feed line and return line to the reservoir. Due to the herm in plant B, I left a lot more plant material on Plant A than I initially planned. With more room, it should hopefully bush out even more! Flower development on plant A is good with great stacking thus far. Still stretching, but slowing down. Any more stretch will require super cropping to avoid burning as I turn the lights up over the next two weeks, Planning to add lower lighting now with the additional space.

Two nice Lemon Mandarin n some nice growth

Big yielder

Purple queen #1 and the watermelon are much further ahead than the rest I think, crazy to see both purples looking so different. I did some Defoliation to most of the plants as it was getting really crowded in the tent, they seemed to love it and you can see all the new budding sites. Wish I had more space to play with the plants as I think I was a bit gredy doing 6, I've learnt so much over this time I've loved it. I love waking and up going to check on the progress 😌 💚 I cannot wait to smoke my own plants which I grew and know exactly how it's been grown 😝

She has grow large and nicely cover in buds covered in crystals. The buds are getting fat

First off I believe the strain name is wrong. It should be just FF03 but I’ll need to check with fastbuds. These are photo period test genetics from fastbuds and the FF stands for fast flower. They are supposed to be done in 50-60 days of flowering. I’m going to let them do their thing for a minimum of 40 days just to be sure they don’t have ruderalis. This is a brand new setup I built with floraflex 6” pot pro using coco and I’ll be testing their nutrients out as well. That being said they are about 10 days old but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to get the diary going. Thanks for looking :)

They look si strong and healthy. They have quite a strong smell, very pleasant. All good for now
