💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A 📸 No Private Photos This Week… But She's Still Shining Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... I have to start this update with a confession. 😂📸 I didn't take individual photos of Blueberry Muffin Pheno A this week. There. I said it. My bad. 😂💚 I photographed her sister. I photographed the room. I have video showing the whole garden evolving. But somehow... this little lady escaped the camera this week. And I know. I know. She deserves better. 😂 So next week? She's getting her own proper photo session. Absolutely. But even without her individual gallery this week, I can still tell you exactly what I'm seeing. And what I'm seeing is... a beautiful little plant. Compact. Very compact. Actually... she could hardly be much smaller. 😂💚 She's continuing to do exactly what she has always done. Growing. Developing. Flowering. Staying compact. And quietly becoming more interesting every week. So although I don't have her personal photo gallery this time... I'm absolutely not going to let her disappear from the story. This girl deserves her spotlight. And we're going to give it to her. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And yet... twelve very different expressions. Some plants stretch. Some spread. Some become enormous. Some stay compact. Some build long branches. Some build dense clusters. And then there is Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. 😂💚 She's compact. Very compact. She's basically looked at the available space and decided: "No thanks. I'll keep it small." 😂 And honestly? I'm fascinated to see what she eventually produces from such a small framework. Because that's one of the questions this phenotype has been giving us from the beginning. How much can this little plant actually do? ──────────────────────── 💚 The Little One Keeps Doing Her Thing And that's really the story this week. She keeps doing her thing. No drama. No major intervention. No big structural changes. No need for me to jump in and try to redesign her. She's simply continuing forward. And that's something I've come to appreciate more and more as this run progresses. Not every week needs to be dramatic. Not every update needs to contain a major event. Sometimes the plant simply grows. And that's enough. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is doing exactly that. She's continuing to develop within her compact little structure. She's maintaining her place in the room. She's continuing her flowering journey. And she's doing it quietly. Just as we've come to expect from her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Could She Be Any Smaller? Honestly... look at this girl in the context of the room. 😂💚 She's tiny. She's compact. She's one of those plants where you almost have to remind yourself that she's still a full flowering plant sitting in a 15 L pot. And that's what makes her so interesting. She could hardly be much smaller. She's not trying to occupy every available centimetre. She's not reaching for the ceiling. She's not building some enormous structure. She's simply using the little framework she has. And now I am genuinely curious about what that means for her final production. Because that's the great unknown. We know she's small. We know she's beautiful. We know she's flowering. But how much can this little plant ultimately produce? That's something we're going to have to discover. And honestly? I'm really curious. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Small Frame. Big Question. This is another reason I love phenotype hunting. Sometimes the interesting question isn't: "How big is she?" It's: "What can she do with what she's got?" Blueberry Muffin Pheno A doesn't have a huge framework. She doesn't have a massive canopy. She doesn't occupy a huge amount of space. But she's still building flowers. She's still developing. She's still participating fully in this experiment. And that's what makes her worth following. The final result isn't decided by her height alone. There are still plenty of chapters left to write. So I'm watching. And I'm very curious. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Artificial Sun The room continues under the upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's lighting ecosystem. After the initial increase in PPFD, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing throughout the canopy depending on plant height and position. And Blueberry Muffin? She's still doing her thing under all those photons. She's not suddenly stretching. She's not suddenly changing her personality. She's simply continuing to develop within the compact architecture she's established. Same photons. Same room. Different plant. Different expression. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Room Is Changing — And She's Part of It Even though I didn't get individual photographs of her this week, I did get photographs and video of the room. And honestly... the room is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. 🌿💚🌸 When you step back and look at the entire 8×8, you can really appreciate how much everything has changed. These plants are no longer the little seedlings we started with. They're established flowering plants. They're developing their individual personalities. They're filling their spaces. They're becoming increasingly mature. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is right there among them. Small. Compact. Quiet. But definitely part of the picture. And sometimes seeing the whole room gives you a perspective that an individual photograph can't. You can see how different the plants are. You can see the different heights. The different structures. The different flower formations. And right there... our little Blueberry Muffin. Doing exactly what Blueberry Muffin does. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 📹 The Video Helps Tell Her Story This is where the video comes in. Even though I missed her individual photo session, the room footage gives us another way to see her. You can watch the plants moving through this stage together. You can see the overall evolution. You can see how the canopy has developed. And you can see Blueberry Muffin Pheno A sitting there in her little compact world. Sometimes a moving image tells you something different from a still photograph. The whole room becomes part of the story. And that's particularly useful in a project like this. Because this isn't just twelve individual plants. It's twelve individual plants sharing one environment. The video shows that beautifully. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Still No Reason to Chase Work And just like last week... there really isn't much for me to do to her. The structure is established. The plant is compact. The flowers are developing. The environment is stable. So we're not going to create work just because we feel like we should be doing something. 😂 No unnecessary intervention. No random defoliation. No reshaping for the sake of reshaping. She's doing her thing. So let her. At this stage, the grower becomes much more of a caretaker and observer. We provide. We monitor. We respond if necessary. And otherwise... we let the plant finish. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Plant Still Gets The Final Vote This remains one of the biggest principles behind the entire adventure. We can measure everything. We can record everything. We can look at numbers. We can compare photographs. We can watch videos. We can make notes. But ultimately... the plant gets the final vote. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is telling me that she's comfortable where she is. She's compact. She's flowering. She's developing. She's not asking for anything dramatic. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Nutrition — Keeping Things Consistent The nutritional program continues following the current flowering recipe: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Pure Zym — 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength remains around: ⚡ EC: ~2.04 mS/cm And irrigation remains approximately: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24h Again... nothing dramatic. No need to chase numbers. No need to reinvent the program. The room is moving forward. She's moving forward. So we continue. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 — Current Conditions The room remains under the same general environmental conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.04 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h 📏 Height: approximately 75 cm Same room. Same environment. Same lighting evolution. Same nutritional evolution. And our little Blueberry Muffin is still doing exactly what she knows how to do. Stay compact. Keep flowering. Keep growing. Keep surprising me. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 What Will This Little Plant Produce? This is probably the question I'm most curious about now. Because she's small. Very small. And that makes the eventual result particularly interesting. How much flower will she produce from this compact little framework? How will those flowers develop? How much density will she build? How will the final structure look? And perhaps most importantly... will the final result surprise me? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly why I'm excited to keep watching. The answer is still inside the plant. And we're going to let her show us. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Missing Photos — My Bad! Okay... let's address the elephant in the room. 😂📸 Yes. I missed her. Completely. I photographed her sister. I photographed the room. I got video. But somehow Blueberry Muffin Pheno A did not get her individual photo session this week. My bad. I know. She deserves better. 😂💚 But here's the good news: Next week? She's getting photographed. Properly. And I'm looking forward to it. Because after watching her continue developing for another week, I'm genuinely curious to see what the camera shows us. Sometimes you think you know what a plant looks like... and then you take the photograph and realize: "Oh. She's changed." So next week, we're fixing the photographic crime. 😂📸💚 ──────────────────────── 💚 Even Without Her Photos, She Still Deserves Her Spotlight And that's the important part. Missing a photo session doesn't mean missing the plant. She's still part of the experiment. She's still developing. She's still teaching us something. She's still one of the twelve individual stories that make up the 8×8 Adventure. And honestly... I don't think a single missed gallery is going to stop this little girl from shining. She's already doing that. She's simply doing it quietly. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now... I'm curious. Very curious. Because she's compact enough that I really want to see how this story ends. She's already shown us her personality. She's already shown us her structure. Now I want to see what she can produce. There is still development ahead. There are still flowers to mature. There are still changes to observe. And eventually... we'll get the answer to the question I've been carrying for a while: "What can this tiny little Blueberry Muffin actually do?" 😂💚 I don't know yet. And I'm perfectly happy with that. Let's find out together. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — The Little One Is Still Shining Week 12. No individual photos. No dramatic intervention. No major event. And honestly? I'm okay with all of that. Because Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is still doing exactly what she should be doing. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's staying beautifully compact. And she's continuing to make me curious. She's one of those plants where you look at her and think: "Could you possibly be any smaller?" 😂💚 And then you remember... the interesting part isn't how big she is. The interesting part is what she does with the space she has. And I can't wait to find out. So this week, the room photographs and video have to carry a little more of her story. But next week? We're giving this little lady her own gallery again. I promise. 😂📸💚 Until then... keep doing your thing, Blueberry Muffin. Stay compact. Stay beautiful. Keep building. And show me what you've got. Because I have a feeling this little plant still has something interesting to say. 💚🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the Blueberry Muffin genetics and allowing us to discover individual phenotypes like this wonderfully compact girl. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're now testing in the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another dimension to the lighting environment deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. This project has become so much more than simply growing twelve plants. It's about watching twelve individual personalities develop under the same roof. Some demand attention. Some demand space. Some demand patience. And some... quietly sit there and make you wonder: "How the hell are you going to produce all that flower from such a tiny little frame?" 😂💚 That's Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Small. Compact. Beautiful. Quiet. And still writing her story. And yes... I forgot to photograph her this week. 😂📸 My bad, little lady. Next week, the camera is coming for you. Until then... let the room show everyone how beautifully you're evolving. Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🌸

Benissimo questa settimana, ultima di nutrienti poi flush. Le foglie sono sempre meno a causa degli insetti golosi nella foresta

Update of project Sea green 💚

25th of September 24th week for the Critical 22nd week for the Lemon Critical has very fat buds but not so much stacking only 3 or 4, healthy dark green wide leaves Lemon had a slight yellowing and buds are not as closely stacked, they are smaller but each branch has 7 or 8 Random one is currently the best as buds size and stacking. Nice size, 8-9 closely stacked and with many sugar leaves. It started to show some yellow leaves, so I mixed some coffee grounds in it and into the Lemon one too. It should fix the Nitrogen deficiency Next week I’ll ad the PK Booster

Well guys she had a deep flush of rain water put at least 100 ltrs through her till her ppm dropped to 100 gna hit her again in a couple days for a full deep flush till she runs at 37ppm I know drastic but I push them always to.the hilt to make sure there ain't a hint of chemical feed in sight shes starting to stick and fill out nicely after flushing probably cause she has to rely in her own supply for now but she never seemed to yellow out at all throughout any of her leaves sometimes they do sometimes they don't so I know there ain't any nutes in there so I'm not worried just dont want to overdo her want to take her just right not to much couch locking just a nice get on with the day kinda high is what I'm after so dont want her pushing for to long hopefully a week or two shall do the trick

Day 71: Beautiful big frosty extremely smelly buds! They keep stacking and throwing put new white pistils. Trichs are clear and cloudy. I got the smell under control with a new filter, but when I open the tent it is like a smack in the face (but in a good way). I gave her 2L of water with nutrients. More leaves are slowly fading purple too. Day 73: 2L of water with nutes Day 75: I am leaving for a week to travel to a funeral. Death puts so many things in perspective. I asked my girl to give the plant 2L of plain water 3 days from now and then I'll water again when I get back. Today I gave her 2L of water with nutrients and pulled off a couple yellow leaves. The fore ast calls for rain, so I raised the light and will leave it on 24hrs to keep the humidity from rising too much. Anyway, now I have 2 fans circulating air in the tent, so there is a lot of airflow. The buds continue to grow as you can see in the pics. The smell is strong!

fast eddy measures 60 cm, the 3 gelato cookies between 70 and 80 cm, the 3 northern light from 90 cm to 1 meter 20, the smell is stronger when the tent is opened, major heat problem solved thanks to a portable air conditioning🍀

Ztrawberriez growing fast ⏩ Nice easy week with a thunderstorm👍 Time for ztrawberriez to get her first dose of nutirent ... Bloom a bloom b 1ml each per litter.

Woche 7 Meine Schwiegermutter hat das Gießen übernommen und ich habe mein Leben unter der ägyptischen Sonne genossen.

Week 6 for the Kongs krush from greenhouse seeds This week we placed a net above the plants to avoid any branches to hang around because of the weight. We continued this week with sugar shot and Sticky fingers from Xpert nutrients The buds are getting more and more thc and we are coming to the end of flowering soon

This week was nice. Really beautiful hues coming through, great structure , no f ups. The smellsAre amazing. I have started the ripener and cut back on nutrients - after heavy calmag week before and full feed. Aim to do this all this week ready for the flush week

plants were majorly defoliated and are flowering awesomely! just the small one is showing some deficiencies due to unstable pH ---- mid week update: i am becoming kind of concerned about buds themselves – they seem rather small at this stage 😳

10/11/24 she had gotten so overly dry that she was impossible to water. i had to scrape and break of the dry spots all around the soil and root ball so that water could penetrate. she was root bound from a solo cup and then as well from 1 gallon to 3 gallon. once the rootbound spots got overly dry, they became super hydrophobic and i didnt realize how bad it was. that may be what's been affecting the over all health of the plant. finally able to get her to hold weight in water so im hopefull 10/15 pistils are getting thrown out everywhere. a bit of a stretch so far but not too much. maybe a couple inches or

Out of the 155 plants one room is starting to get a whole bunch of yellow leaves. And yellow plants. It started after I used the fish emulsion. :S The other two rooms are looking very green and bushy. Continuing LST on most of the plants. The leaves grow in every week or so.

New week starts __________ 🌞26.04 It's a first day of pre-flowering period today. I've changed schedule to 12/12hrs and turned on third 100w lamp. (This is not entirely correct, because I'm using one and a half 200W lamp. There was no room for two of them and I was forced to cut one of them in a half) My babies started to grow dramatically fast after flushing two days ago and i decided to do one more particial defoliation procedure. Now a yong branches they grew has more light and space wich should help them to produce more flowers. Spraiyed all four with 'Sea Weed' and prepared to feel a strong smell after a few days (if You know what I mean 😉). I'll flush them with 'FloraKleen' solution tomorrow to outwash saults, then start to feed them in a 'Pre-flowering' mode. 🌞27.04 Nothing today except 'SeaWeed' spraying. I decided to not flush my plants today, because the soil is still too wet. I'll do this procedure tomorrow in the morning (when the lights will turns on). Girls are growing dramatically fast now, especially 'Hulk Berry' wich was the smallest. It dobled its volume in one night! 🌞28.04 I flushed my plants with 45 litres of 'GHE FloraKleen' solution in 3ml/l retio. It was a success! Drenage EC fall from 1.9 to 0.9 (from 1850ppm to 800). Now I'll wait four or five days before watering to soil dry. Also, I spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' as usual. 'RG'#1 leaves already toching my box wall, but I am afraid to defoliate it once more to pervent male flowers developing because of a big stress on pre-flowering period. 🌞29.04 All four plants are growing faster then ever after "GHE FloraKleen" flushing. Their leaves became 1.5 times wider in one night! Even 'HB' miniature leaves are spredding out in size. I spraiyed them with 'G.H. Protect' today. 🌞30.04 My plants crones are too thyck. They're asking for one more defoliation, literally. I'm still afreid to do this. Maybe I will do this a few days laiter when I'll water them. Till then I'm only bending big leaves under the top of a branches. 'G.H.Protect' spraing and that's all for today. 🌞01.05 Nothing for today. Even no spraying. My grow box is in the 'stealth' mode (hidden in the wardrobe-looking shell) so there will be no photo today. It's too difficult to open it, ecpesially there is no sense to do this just to take a picture. I'll water my plants tomorrow, so there will be an update. 🌞02.05 No watering today, the soil still too wet. I made one more defoliation instead. Almost half of a crones were cutted (big old leaves and some lowest branches). I think it's a good thing, because there were alot of new branches and no light reaching them. Now light goes toll the very bottom of my plants, forcing small yong leaves to grow quicker. ___________ Week ends.
