We are at day 21 on this Cali snow and she is doing well. Takes training great and she hit a nice growth spurt at the beginning of the week. The girls are getting crowded but the setup is running like a well oiled machine. I will have to get them spread further apart somehow and they will be going under the QB lights soon. If I can keep the momentum going as smooth as it has been we might just get some late summer snow! Happy growing everyone.

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

perto da colheita, algumas folhas queimando.

This week went very well! One will be getting cut an hung to dry while the rest finish up with one more week of flush ! These ladies are smelling so lovely I hope you all enjoy! Stay tuned for next week! Cheers 😤💨💨💨💨💨

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything. Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers. Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;))) Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven. Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks. Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;))) Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever. Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ? Happy Growing !

Ростет нормально 40 см , 30 дней, цветет дней 5 уже , нижние листики были на земле и пожелтели, срезал их . всё норма , кормим СО2 .

These girls have been going crazy. This will be the last week of veg I am roughly 70% full screen. May cut this veg week short, and get these girls flowering. I'm working off of my own feeding that kind of models fox farms schedule only with floraflex. Appreciate you taking your time to check me out. Stay high

Days 50 - 56 Last week, I had a major lockout issue with my plants, so I’ve started monitoring both the irrigation and runoff water closely. I had to do three rounds of flushing, but after that, my lady started to recover, which was a relief! Since I'm going on vacation for the next 10 days, I’ve been working on setting up an autonomous irrigation system, which I successfully implemented and built yesterday. It uses three 12V water pumps controller by Arduino Uno via H-Bridge motor drivers, each dedicated to one plant. The system runs from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., delivering around 250 mL of water per plant per session. This means each plant will get approximately 2.5 liters of water per day. I’ve mixed all the nutrients in advance. I know the ideal scenario would be to add the fertilizers just before each irrigation session, but unfortunately, that’s not possible. Still, it’s better than nothing. The system has been running smoothly since this morning, and so far, the cycle works fine. I’ll improve it further when I get back from vacation. To prevent any future lockout issues, I’ve extended the irrigation cycles throughout the day to ensure the coco stays consistently moist.

Day 43: Watered each plant with 1L with nuts 1589 ppm, 3380 us/cm, 3.3 EC (purple punch and wedding cheesecake) 1563 ppm 3325 us/cm 3.3 EC (strawberry banana) 1476 ppm 3180 us/cm 3.1 EC (gorilla cookies) I have 3 different feedings for the 10 plants They look healthy Day 45: Watered each plant with 1L with nuts 1563 ppm, 3325 us/cm, 3.3 EC (purple punch, strawberry banana, wedding Cheesecake) 1286 ppm, 2765 us/cm, 2.7 EC (gorilla cookies) 2 different feedings for the 10 plants Day 47: Watered each plant with 1L with nuts 1584 ppm, 3380 us/cm, 3.3 EC (purple punch, strawberry banana, wedding Cheesecake) 1481 ppm, 3180 us/cm, 3.1 EC (gorilla cookies) 2 different feedings for the 10 plants

Super Skunk is doing good. She is starting to bulk. Everything is looking good. Thank you Spliff Seeds, Spider Farmer, and Athena nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

MONDAY: First week of flowering nutrients: TUESDAY: Defoliated THURSDAY: starting to feed with 2ml Top Bloom + 1ml Top Candy Big One 1L sprayed + 2L water with Top Bloom Plant Three - accidentally broke the top of the main stem while doing LST - be careful, don't do it when in a hurry! It got bush again after less than a week, i think i am still waiting for the stretch, hope not too much.

. . . Day 21, topping was done yesterday, we entered the 4th week, I did not make any transactions today. Day 24, watering Day 25, I took 2 leaves from each plant Day 26, watering empty (only voodo and 2ml bloom)

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

Diese Woche haben sich die Pflanzen von der Entlaubung der letzten Woche erholen dürfen, nach drei Tagen (die ersten drei Bilder) haben sie schon wieder einiges an Blattwerk zulegen können. Des Weiteren ist die Woche nicht viel passiert, ausser dass ich die Bodenfläche zurückgewonnen habe und endlich einen Umluftventilator zum clippen kaufen konnte. Ach und zum Ende der zweiten Blütewoche habe ich einen Komposttee gemacht, den sie am Samstag Abend bekommen haben. Ich hätte schon früher gerne den Tee gemacht, aber ich musste auch hier erstmal alle Sachen kaufen, da ich leider wieder komplett von Null beginnen musste.

Overall, the Girls are doing great. #2 is still showing some nitrogen excess, but is doing well. I’ve adjusted her feeding specifically in hopes to correct. #1 is not showing the same issue, and is motoring along. Both are stacking nicely, and are bringing on some smell now, and are sticky to the touch. I estimate about 3 weeks more, but who really knows with Autoflowers? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Godfather OG – Pheno B The Big Mama Keeps Shining – Doing Nothing, Seeing Everything 👑🌿🌸💎 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our beautiful Godfather OG Pheno B. 👑🌿 And honestly... I'm loving this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's building flowers. She's developing more and more character. And the funniest part? I'm barely doing anything to her. 😂 This is one of those weeks where the grower walks into the room, looks around, checks everything, looks at the plants again... and thinks: "Yep." 😂 That's it. That's the job right now. Observe. Pay attention. See what is happening. Check whether anything is actually needed. And if nothing is needed... leave the plant alone. Because sometimes... doing nothing is actually doing something. And this Big Mama is proving that beautifully. 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – THE BIG MAMA KEEPS MOVING ──────────────────────── Godfather OG Pheno B continues to move quickly. She's not slowing down in the way that makes you think she's finished. She's evolving. She's developing. She's continuing to build her flowers and fill out the structure she's spent the entire grow creating. And when I look at her now compared with the earlier weeks... it's almost funny how much plant we're looking at. She has become a substantial girl. A proper Big Mama. 😂👑🌿 She's occupying her space. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without asking me to constantly reach into the canopy and change something. That's exactly where I want her. Healthy. Developing. Stable. And doing her thing. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS CLAIMED HER SPACE ──────────────────────── There are plants that quietly exist inside a tent. And then there are plants that seem to say: "Yes, this corner is mine." 😂👑 Godfather OG Pheno B has definitely claimed her place. She's got presence. You notice her. You look across the room and she's there. Big structure. Beautiful flowering sites. Healthy foliage. Increasingly developed flowers. And that unmistakable Godfather OG personality we've been following throughout this entire journey. That's one of the things I love about running individual phenotypes. Eventually, you stop seeing just a plant with a label. You know who she is. You know her habits. You know her structure. You know her appetite. You know how she fills the space. And Pheno B? She's our Big Mama. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING ──────────────────────── At this point, the flowers are becoming the main story. And they're speaking pretty loudly. 😂🌸 The flowering structures continue to develop. The buds are becoming more substantial. The pistils continue evolving. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the whole plant is gradually shifting from: "Building flowers" toward: "Developing what those flowers are going to become." That's one of my favourite stages. Because you can actually see the progression. You don't need to imagine what the plant might become. She's showing you. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us plenty. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE FROST IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE ──────────────────────── The closer we look at this girl... the more there is to see. 💎🌸 The resin continues becoming more noticeable across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is where the camera becomes such a beautiful tool. From a distance: "She's beautiful." Closer: "Whoa..." 😂📸💎 The flowers have texture. The pistils weave through the developing structures. The trichomes begin creating that frosted appearance. And suddenly you realize just how much is happening inside what initially looks like one flower. That's why I love keeping the weekly photographic record. Because when you put the weeks together... you can actually see the plant progressing. ──────────────────────── 🌿 DOING NOTHING... AND SEEING EVERYTHING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest theme of this week's report. We're not doing much. And that's intentional. The plant doesn't need us to invent work. She's not asking for major training. She's not asking to be reshaped. She's not asking to be stripped. She's not asking us to constantly reach into the canopy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's healthy. So what exactly would I gain by interfering? Nothing. 😂 My job right now is observation. I walk in. I look. I inspect. I check the flowers. I check the leaves. I check the environment. I check the irrigation. I check whether anything needs attention. And if the answer is: "No." Then... I walk away. 😂🌱 That's not laziness. That's experience. Knowing when a plant needs you... and knowing when it doesn't. ──────────────────────── 👀 OBSERVATION IS STILL WORK ──────────────────────── I think this is something people sometimes underestimate. When a grow is in its active training phase, it's easy to feel productive. You're moving branches. You're positioning things. You're adjusting the canopy. You're doing things with your hands. But later in the run? The most important tool can be your eyes. 👀🌿 You observe. You compare. You notice changes. You catch something early. You decide whether it matters. And you act only when necessary. That's what we're doing with Big Mama. We're not ignoring her. Quite the opposite. We're paying attention. We're just not manufacturing problems where there aren't any. And right now... she looks like she's doing exactly what she should be doing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 WATCHING THE PLANT CHANGE ──────────────────────── One of the most rewarding things about this stage is watching the little changes accumulate. The flowers become larger. The pistils change. The resin becomes more apparent. The plant's overall appearance changes. Some leaves begin to show signs of age. Other leaves remain beautifully green. And all of these things are part of the plant's progression. The important thing is context. We don't look at one leaf and immediately decide the whole plant has a problem. We look at the entire plant. We compare with previous weeks. We look at where changes are occurring. We look at the flowers. We look at the new growth. We look at the environment. And then we decide whether anything actually needs attention. So far? Big Mama is simply moving. And moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN ──────────────────────── We're also entering the stage where the nutritional strategy begins to change. As we approach the final part of the flowering cycle, I'm starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like the idea of going: "Full nutrition today." Then: "ZERO EVERYTHING TOMORROW." 😂 Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual transition. Reduce a little. Observe. Let the plant continue. Reduce again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the end of the cycle. The plant doesn't suddenly stop being alive because we're approaching the finish line. She's still functioning. Still transpiring. Still photosynthesizing. Still developing. So for me, a progressive reduction makes more sense than slamming the door shut overnight. We're beginning that transition now. Less nutritional input. Continued observation. And allowing Big Mama to finish her work. ──────────────────────── 🌿 WHY I PREFER A GRADUAL REDUCTION ──────────────────────── Plants don't have a little calendar hanging on the wall saying: "Two weeks left!" 😂 They respond to their environment. They continue functioning. They continue using resources. And different plants can behave differently during the final stages. That's another reason why I prefer to reduce gradually. I'm watching the plant. Not just the calendar. Godfather OG Pheno B is still actively developing. She's still beautiful. She's still moving. So I'm not interested in suddenly starving her simply because we're getting closer. The nutritional input is being reduced progressively while we continue observing her response. That's the philosophy. Slow transition. No panic. No unnecessary extremes. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING ──────────────────────── The lighting setup remains upgraded with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. And we're still controlling that extra capacity rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... this is where having more capability becomes useful. We don't have to use everything. We have the headroom. We have the fixtures. We have the photons. And we can control how much we're actually using. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number possible. Big Mama has plenty of light available. Now we're watching what she does with it. 😂☀️👑 ──────────────────────── ☀️ PHOTONS MEET A BIG PLANT ──────────────────────── Godfather OG Pheno B is a fantastic example of why I keep talking about three-dimensional lighting. She's not a flat surface. She's a big plant. 😂🌿👑 She's got height. She's got branches. She's got flowers occupying different levels. She's got leaves facing different directions. She's got areas exposed directly to the fixtures... and areas deeper inside the canopy. So when we say approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, that's exactly what we mean. The upper canopy. The rest of the plant naturally receives different intensities. That's normal. That's physics. That's plant architecture. And the additional Lumiflora lighting helps us explore how we can bring additional illumination into deeper parts of that structure. We're not just lighting a tent. We're lighting a three-dimensional garden. ──────────────────────── 💚 FUTURE OF GROW – THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA SUN ──────────────────────── A big thank you again to Future of Grow for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. This upgrade has given us something I really value: Control. More available lighting. More headroom. More flexibility. And because we don't need to run the fixtures at maximum output, we can find the operating point that makes sense for the room. We're currently around 59% power from the plug and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of artificial sunlight. ☀️😂 And Big Mama is sitting right underneath it... catching photons and turning them into flowers. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these fixtures in a real flowering environment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL ANSWER ──────────────────────── And once again... the 8×8 experiment continues to prove why genetics are so fascinating. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional strategy. Different plants. Different expressions. Different personalities. Godfather OG Pheno B has given us a very clear answer. She's big. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautiful. She's developing quickly. And she has claimed her own space. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be another cultivar. She's simply being herself. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY ──────────────────────── And looking at this week's photographs... I can see why I'm loving this girl. 😂📸👑 The full-plant images show just how substantial she has become. The flower photographs show the developing structure. The closer images reveal the resin and pistils. And together... they tell a story that a single photograph never could. She's changing. She's maturing. She's becoming more defined. And she's doing it quickly. This is why I don't want to rush through these final stages. There is still so much to observe. Every week gives us another little piece of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BIG MAMA IS STILL BUILDING ──────────────────────── She's not finished. That's the important part. She's still developing. Still building. Still changing. And although we're getting closer to the final part of the journey, I don't want to start treating the plant like the finish line has already arrived. She's still here. Still working. Still using the environment. Still developing her flowers. So we continue observing. We continue providing what she needs. And we let her decide how the next chapter looks. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. Just support. And patience. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ THE ROOM CONTINUES TO DO ITS JOB ──────────────────────── The general room environment remains consistent with the current 8×8 setup: • 🌡️ Day temperature: approximately 26.5–27°C • 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25–26°C • 💧 RH: around 60–61% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: around 25–26°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: around 25°C • ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 • ⚡ EC: gradually being reduced as we move toward the later flowering stage • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h • 🌱 Pot size: 15 L • ☀️ Upper canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD • 🔌 Lighting output: approximately 59% And again... these numbers are useful. But they're not the entire story. The plant tells us the rest. And Big Mama is telling us: "I'm good." 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S SHINING BRIGHT ──────────────────────── There are weeks where a plant gives you a dramatic event. Something happens. Something changes. Something needs fixing. And then there are weeks like this. Nothing dramatic. Nothing broken. Nothing demanding intervention. Just... growth. Beautiful growth. And honestly? Those are some of my favourite weeks. Because this is the payoff of all the work we did earlier. We built the structure. We established the environment. We got the irrigation working. We provided the nutrition. We upgraded the lighting. And now... we watch. Godfather OG Pheno B is doing the rest. 👑🌸💎 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS THE PART I LOVE ──────────────────────── This stage of the grow reminds me why I enjoy growing so much. You can plan. You can measure. You can prepare. You can control as many variables as possible. But eventually... you have to let the plant be a plant. And that's where the magic happens. The grower provides the opportunity. The genetics provide the expression. The environment provides the conditions. And the plant writes the story. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers very clearly. She's a Big Mama. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. She's filling out. And she's making herself impossible to ignore. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔮 LOOKING AHEAD ──────────────────────── From here... we continue exactly as we've been doing. Observe. Check. Photograph. Measure. Support. And only intervene when something actually requires intervention. The nutrition will continue its gradual reduction as we move toward the later stages. The lighting remains controlled. The environment remains stable. The irrigation continues. And Big Mama gets to keep doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development 💎 Resin development ? Pistil evolution 🌿 Natural changes in the foliage ⚗️ Response to the gradual nutritional reduction 💧 Water demand ☀️ Response to the lighting environment 🌡️ Environmental stability 📸 Changes from week to week No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary work. Just observation. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – DOING NOTHING, SEEING EVERYTHING ──────────────────────── Week 12. And Godfather OG Pheno B continues to shine. 👑🌿🌸💎 She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's developing her flowers. And I'm loving her. This week, once again, we didn't need to do much physically. And that's okay. Actually... that's fantastic. Because it means the plant is doing what she's supposed to do. Our job right now is mostly to observe. Look closely. Check the flowers. Check the foliage. Watch the environment. Monitor the irrigation. Gradually reduce the nutritional input as we approach the later stages. And if something is needed... we respond. If nothing is needed... we leave her alone. That's the balance. Because growing isn't always about doing more. Sometimes growing is knowing when to stop doing. 😂🌿 And this Big Mama? She's got it. She's claiming her place in the tent. She's shining under those photons. She's building beautiful flowers. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's evolving quickly. And she's doing it all while I stand there with a camera thinking: "Well... you're doing a pretty damn good job without me." 😂📸👑 So keep shining, Big Mama. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep showing us what this Godfather OG expression can become. We're watching. We're learning. We're documenting. And we're enjoying every minute of it. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the process 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 side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the growing media and nutrition. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded lighting setup in a real flowering environment. More capability. More control. More photons. And the ability to run the fixtures at a controlled output rather than simply pushing everything to maximum. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore lighting as a three-dimensional environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following these girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this adventure. 💚 Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers as a Big Mama. 😂👑 She's big. She's beautiful. She's hungry. She's developing fast. She's building flowers. She's getting frostier. And she's shining brighter every week. So let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. And most importantly... let's keep doing what this stage of the grow asks us to do: Pay attention. Provide what is needed. And let the plant shine. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸👑🔥

Day 50: Water intake is 150ml per plant, light schedule 18/6. Humidity is approx 50%. Fertilization continues the same way Monday, Wednesday, Friday Biobizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Flowers are developing nicely and getting thicker. Plants love the new 600W Viperspectra:) All good so far! They are all approx 30-35 cm. Day 53: Smell is getting stronger, really nice mix one. Day 55: Nice smell comes out from this tent. Plants are nice buds are getting dense and the smell is getting stronger and stronger. All of them do well, some more some with less bud development but they all look happy.

After all research of why plants are going at different rates the only conclusion Conclusion I’ve come to is to do with the fan being too close to the top left Plant and the Seeds to come from different plants but same strain. Will need to go back to royal queen seeds to ask the question??? Leaf burn from wind burn can slow growth of plants
