Endlich sind die gewรผnschten sommerlichen Tage mit teils 35ยฐ C. eingetreten mit Hitze tagsรผber und Gewittern nachts oder in den frรผhen Morgenstunden. Dementsprechend benรถtigt die Rainbow Road wesentlich mehr Wasser. Die Flรผssigdรผngung erfolgt jedoch nur einmalig tรคglich, das restliche Wasser nach Bedarf. Nur eimalig tรคglich in die groรŸe Tรถpfe zu gieรŸen genรผgt nicht bei der Hitze und der Verdunstung. Das heiรŸe, sommerliche Wetter soll noch die kommende Woche anhalten, auch wieder mit Temperaturen bis zu 35ยฐ C. Nicht nur die Planzen brauchen jetzt mehr Flรผssigkeit, auch der Grower trinkt und trinkt... Die Rainbow Road nimmt es bisher gelassen und ertrรคgt das Wetter sehr gut. Sie hat in dieser Woche das zweite Topping erhalten, aus dem sie schon herauswรคchst und ist im Vergleich zur letzten Woche 25 cm gewachsen. Vielen Dank fรผr euren Besuch und achtet auf genug Flรผssigkeit fรผr euch und die Pflanzen! --- At last, the long-awaited summer days have arrived, with temperatures reaching 35ยฐC at times, bringing heat during the day and thunderstorms at night or in the early hours of the morning. Consequently, Rainbow Road needs considerably more water. However, liquid fertiliser is applied only once a day; the rest of the water is given as required. Watering the large pots just once a day isnโ€™t enough given the heat and evaporation. The hot, summery weather is set to continue into next week, again with temperatures reaching up to 35ยฐC. Itโ€™s not just the plants that need more water now; the grower is drinking and drinking too... Rainbow Road has taken it in her stride so far and is coping very well with the weather. Sheโ€™s had her second topping this week โ€“ sheโ€™s already outgrowing it โ€“ and has grown 25 cm compared to last week. Thank you very much for visiting, and make sure you and your plants stay well hydrated!

Week #9 of flowering is done, great week this week, still inching closer and closer to harvest day, all of the ladies except for the largest will start their flush today, Iโ€™d like to push that out to atleast 10-14 days if possible, this will insure I get a beautiful fade into harvest as well as mouth watering tastes and aromas coming off this flower, however with using final phase Iโ€™ve learned I can execute a proper and tasty flush in just 7 days if needed. Everyday I feel the smells are getting more and more intense becoming a hassle for my 4โ€ carbon filter to keep up. Hopefully we continue to finish strong this last week or two! It will be exciting ๐Ÿ˜

Went ahead and numbered them all. I checked them earlier in the week and they looked a little pale green so I upped there nutrients to around 800-900 ppm and they seem to love it. They getting Sensi Cal-mag with every feeding to help with the rust spots on there leafs. Other then that no issues to report. They going threw a lot of water, 1-2 gallon a plant every day. The bud sites are growing bigger and and more sticky everyday. I can practically watch them fatten up and they are starting smelling really good. P7 is getting massive. She has 240 true watts on her, I'm not sure how much more she will stretch but I went ahead and LST her main stem. I can swap her with a smaller girl if she outgrows her corner. I'm thinking I will defoliate her lower area tomorrow.

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.๐Ÿ‘ The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

Put them both into 10ltr pots at the end of last week. The sun hasn't been about to much so they haven't done much but they are getting taller and stretching a bit. I've got more seeds but will probably take cuttings from these two as they will be more mature and must be closer to showing sex ๐Ÿ‘

4/1/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall) Water Change Day!!! Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower. Added 36 Gallons Mammoth SILICA= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CALMAG= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal = 36Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal = 194Mil FloraGrow = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil FloraBloom = 4.6Mil/Gal = 166Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PPM= 536 PH=5.84 PPFD=500 Tent Temp= 76.5 Water Temp= 71.4 Humidity= 58% 4/2/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall) Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them. 4/3/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall) A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation. Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas. 4/4/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall) I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine. 4/5/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall) Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup. Ideal range 70-74 My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6 Ideal for this grow 70-78 The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out... The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it.. I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest. 4/6/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall) I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%. 4/7/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall) #3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall. Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr. I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.

This week has been just keeping them happy/learning the needs of the grow room to keep a steady environment. The humidifiers are pushing hard to keep it at 65~70 so im sure once I bump the RH down next week It will be more manageable. I have to fill humidifier #1 once a day but have to keep a eye on #2. It picks up the slack but it runs out every few days. Will start feeding on Monday so the plant can take the days to start rooting in the new pots. If you live in the south Publix reusable bags are .99 and are great 5gl~ fabric pots. Will find bin to put in the bottom of tent to be able to water to run off but I have time for that.

Woche 4 - Weiteres Wachstum und krรคftigere Blรคtter In der vierten Woche setzte sich das beeindruckende Wachstum der Pflanzen fort. Die Nรคhrstoffe blieben dieselben wie in der Vorwoche, mit der Zugabe von 30 ml Canna Terra pro 10 Liter Wasser. Das Licht wurde schrittweise weiter erhรถht, bis es die maximale Leistung fรผr die Vegetationsphase erreichte, mit einem PPFD-Wert von knapp 500. Die Pflanzen wuchsen immer krรคftiger und gesรผnder, und die Blรคtter waren mittlerweile grรถรŸer als meine Hรคnde โ€“ und ich habe wirklich groรŸe Hรคnde! ๐Ÿ˜„ Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur blieben konstant und bewegten sich weiterhin im optimalen Bereich wie in der Vorwoche. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine merkbare Verรคnderung in ihrer Farbe: Sie wurden deutlich dunkler grรผn, ein Zeichen fรผr eine optimale Versorgung mit Nรคhrstoffen und ein gesundes Wachstum. Insgesamt war dies eine sehr erfolgreiche und erfreuliche Woche im Grow, mit weiterhin sichtbaren Fortschritten.

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 13 ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž The Dark Little Unicorn Is Showing Us Her Genetic Signature ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธโœจ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well... Here we are again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? I'm starting to think this girl might be trying to tell us something. Because the more I look at Frosted Guava Pheno B... the more I look around the rest of the room... and the more I compare what we're seeing... the more I'm beginning to wonder if this beautiful little foxtailing madness is simply part of her genetic personality. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ The majority of the room isn't doing this. Yes, we have a few other plants showing some foxtailing here and there. But overall? Statistically speaking... the room is not a foxtailing jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚ These Frosted Guava girls, however? They seem to have received a completely different memo. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ And I actually love that. Because that's exactly what the 8ร—8 Adventure is here to show us. Same room. Same general environment. Same photons. Same grower. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different personalities. And sometimes... those genetics speak VERY loudly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ„ So this week... let's give our dark little unicorn the spotlight. Because she's shining. She's doing her thing. She's continuing to evolve. And honestly? I'm reaching the point where I'm simply enjoying the view. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE FOXTailing SIGNATURE? This week, I'm looking at her and thinking: "Okay... this is starting to look genetic." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now, obviously, I'm not going to pretend that one grow is enough to prove exactly which gene is responsible for what. We're observing. We're comparing. We're learning. But when you have two Frosted Guava phenotypes showing very similar unusual flowering behaviour... while the majority of the rest of the room isn't... well... it's certainly an interesting pattern. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ And that's one of the things I love most about this project. We're not looking at one plant in isolation. We're looking at twelve plants sharing the same room. And when something repeatedly appears in one genetic line... your curiosity naturally starts asking questions. Is it environmental? Is it nutritional? Is it simply the individual phenotype? Or is there a genetic component? ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŒฟ I don't have the final answer. But I'm certainly enjoying watching the evidence build. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE ROOM IS NOT A FOXTailing JUNGLE This is where the comparison becomes really interesting. We've got a room full of plants. Different cultivars. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different flowering behaviours. And yes... there are a few other foxtails around the room. But overall? The majority are not expressing this characteristic to anything like the same degree. And then we look at Frosted Guava... ๐Ÿฆ„ "Hello." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ There she is. And her sister is basically standing beside her saying: "Yeah... us too." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That's what makes me suspicious that we're looking at something inherent to the genetics rather than simply something happening randomly throughout the room. Again... I'm not claiming we've scientifically identified a specific gene. I'm simply saying: the pattern is interesting. And in a project like this... patterns are exactly what we're here to observe. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ GENETICS ARE WHISPERING... OR MAYBE SHOUTING This is where the 8ร—8 Adventure gets really fun. Because sometimes genetics don't whisper. Sometimes they walk into the room... look at you... and scream: "THIS IS WHAT I DO." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ Frosted Guava seems to have chosen: "Flowers?" Yes. "Lots of them?" Yes. "Normal structure?" Absolutely not. ๐Ÿ˜‚ "Foxtails?" YES. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ And honestly? I'm here for it. Because this is exactly why we grow multiple plants and document individual phenotypes. If every plant behaved exactly the same... there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. But they don't. They show us differences. And those differences are the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ OUR DARK LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL SHINING And let's not forget the most important part. Whatever the reason... she's beautiful. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„ She's still carrying that gorgeous deep-green character. She's still developing beautifully. She's still building flowers. She's still looking substantial. And she's still doing everything at her own rhythm. She's not trying to copy her sister. She's not trying to copy anybody else in the room. She's simply being Frosted Guava Pheno B. And I really like that. There is something incredibly satisfying about watching a phenotype become recognizable. At the beginning... she's just another plant. Then week by week... you start noticing little things. Then you start recognizing her from across the room. And eventually... you don't even need the label. You just look and think: "Yep. That's her." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ MORE FOXTails = MORE CHARACTER And yes... I'm going to keep enjoying those foxtails. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because I know some people love them. Some people don't. Some people see them as beautiful. Some people prefer traditional, compact flower structures. And that's perfectly fine. That's the beauty of growing. Everybody has different eyes. Different preferences. Different favourite structures. Different colours. Different expressions. Me? I like the weird stuff. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™ I like green. I like purples. I like blues. I like unusual structures. I like plants that make me stop and ask: "Okay... what the hell are you doing?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And Frosted Guava Pheno B definitely qualifies. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY Once again... we come back to the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional foundation. Same irrigation system. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... look at the plants. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are dense. Some are open. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop different colours. Some move faster. Some move slower. And these Frosted Guava girls? They're apparently members of the Foxtail Club. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ That's the experiment. The environment provides the stage. Genetics decide what kind of performance happens on it. And Pheno B is putting on a very recognizable performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION The lighting environment remains the same upgraded setup we've been running across the room. The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still giving us that expanded lighting capability. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And this is another thing I love watching. The photons are basically the same opportunity. They arrive. The plants receive them. And then... genetics interpret them. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Pheno B has apparently decided: "Thank you very much. I'll use these photons to make some wonderfully weird flowers." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ Fair enough. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก MORE CAPABILITY โ€“ STILL NO NEED TO INTERFERE The lighting upgrade gave us more capability. It didn't give us more reasons to constantly touch the plants. And I think that's important. We have more control. More flexibility. More ability to provide a strong, consistent lighting environment. But the plants still get to decide what they do with it. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's doing just fine. So I'm not going to interfere just for the sake of being busy. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The grower doesn't get extra points for touching the plant every five minutes. Sometimes the best thing we can do... is watch. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'M ALMOST JUST ENJOYING THE VIEW NOW Honestly? That's where I'm at. I'm almost becoming a tourist in my own grow room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ I walk in. I look around. I see the girls. I check that everything is running properly. I look at the flowers. I look at the structures. I look at the frost. And then I just... enjoy the view. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because what else am I supposed to do? They're growing. They're developing. They're healthy. They're doing their thing. So I'll keep providing. I'll keep maintaining. I'll keep observing. And I'll let them entertain me. That's a pretty good job description. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP DEVELOPING And underneath all the foxtailing... there's still a lot of beautiful flower development happening. The structures are becoming more substantial. The flowers continue to gain presence. The plant continues to mature. And that's what matters. The foxtailing is simply one of her characteristics. It isn't the entire story. She's also: ๐ŸŒฟ Green. ๐ŸŒธ Flowering. โ„๏ธ Frosty. ๐Ÿ’ช Substantial. ๐Ÿฆ„ Unusual. ๐Ÿ’š Beautiful. And together... all those characteristics make her what she is. Frosted Guava Pheno B. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL FROSTY And yes... the frost hasn't gone anywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The flowers continue carrying that beautiful resinous appearance. The darker foliage creates a beautiful contrast. The developing flowers stand out. And then the camera gets closer... and suddenly you find another layer of detail. Pistils. Trichomes. Flower texture. Little foxtailing structures. Tiny differences between one cola and another. It's almost like every flower has its own little personality. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ And I love documenting that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ PHENO A AND PHENO B โ€“ THE UNICORN SISTERS And of course... we have to talk about her sister. Because this is becoming more and more interesting. Two Frosted Guava girls. Same room. Same general conditions. Same grower. And both showing this unusual flowering characteristic. That doesn't prove anything by itself... but it certainly makes the genetic theory more interesting. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ Pheno A has her own expression. Pheno B has hers. They're not identical plants. But they share something. And that something is worth watching. That's the beauty of keeping individual phenotype diaries. You can actually go back. You can compare. You can look at the photographs. You can look at the progression. And eventually... you start seeing patterns that you might completely miss with a single plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THERE'S STILL NOT MUCH FOR ME TO DO And yes... we're repeating ourselves again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But that's because reality hasn't changed. There's not much for me to do. And I'm not complaining. I'm celebrating it. Because if something suddenly needs major intervention at this stage... that's normally not the kind of surprise I want. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So thank God... we're simply maintaining. We're looking. We're providing. We're supporting. We're observing. And we're letting the plant continue. That's a good week. A very good week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ SOMETIMES "NOTHING" IS THE BEST NEWS This is something I think gets overlooked when people document grows. We tend to celebrate action. "Today I did this." "Today I changed that." "Today I trained." "Today I adjusted." But sometimes... the best update is: "Nothing needed changing." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Because that means the system is working. The plant is happy. The environment is stable. The flowers are developing. And the grower isn't having to put out fires. That's not boring. That's success. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us exactly that kind of week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ KEEPING THE ROOM MOVING FORWARD The nutritional programme continues along with the overall progression of the room. We're not trying to create a special recipe just because she's Frosted Guava. She's part of the same environment. Part of the same nutritional strategy. And once again... she's showing us what she does with it. That's what I'm interested in. Not forcing her. Not trying to make her behave differently. Just watching. Observing. Learning. And supporting. Because she's already doing the interesting part. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 Same room.

Different genetic expression. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ JUST ENJOYING THE VIEWS I think this is probably my favourite sentence for this week: I'm just enjoying the views. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ Because sometimes you reach that point where the grow becomes less about what you're doing... and more about what you're seeing. You look at the canopy. You look at the flowers. You look at the different phenotypes. And you realize: "Damn... we built something pretty cool here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š The plants are doing the work. The room is running. The genetics are speaking. And I'm lucky enough to stand in the middle of it with a camera. Not a bad place to be. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ IS FOXTailing PART OF HER GENETICS? That's the question I'm increasingly curious about. Again... I'm not claiming we've scientifically proven it. We're simply observing a pattern. The room overall isn't heavily foxtailing. There are a few other examples. But the Frosted Guava girls? They're definitely making a case for themselves. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ So maybe there's a genetic tendency here. Maybe there's something in this cultivar that encourages this type of flower expression. Maybe it's a combination of genetics and environment. Maybe it's simply how these particular phenotypes express themselves. That's what makes the experiment interesting. We don't have to pretend we already know. We can simply observe. And say: "That's interesting." Then keep watching. That's science enough for a grow diary. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‡ MORE FLOWER TO ENJOY And at the end of the day... whether you call them foxtails... extended flower structures... or simply this girl's weird little personality... they're still beautiful flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And more flower means more to appreciate later. The harvest chapter will eventually come. The trimming chapter will eventually come. And yes... these unusual structures may make the trimming a little more interesting. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But that's Future DogDoctor's problem. Right now... Present DogDoctor is busy enjoying the view. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ FUTURE DOGDOCTOR CAN DEAL WITH THE SCISSORS I've learned to stop solving problems that don't exist yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Harvest? Later. Trimming? Later. Drying? Later. Curing? Definitely later. Right now? She's still growing. So let her grow. Let her finish her story. Let her surprise us. And when the scissors eventually appear... we'll deal with whatever beautiful weirdness she gives us. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ Until then... back to watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE UNICORN DOESN'T NEED A SCRIPT I think that's another thing I love about this girl. She doesn't seem to care what I expected. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She just does her thing. I can make predictions. I can make theories. I can look at her sister. I can look at the rest of the room. And she'll still look back at me and say: "Yeah... anyway... I'm going to do this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ And honestly? Good. That's what I want. I want plants that teach me something. I want plants that surprise me. I want plants that make me question assumptions. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing exactly that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LET HER HAVE HER SPOTLIGHT Some girls demand attention. Some steal it. Some quietly earn it. And this little unicorn? She's earned it. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘ She's beautiful. She's unusual. She's developing. She's frosty. She's green. She's building flowers. She's showing a very interesting genetic expression. And she's doing all of it without asking for much from me. So yes... the spotlight belongs to her this week. Let's make her shine. Let's appreciate the weirdness. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's simply enjoy the view. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this stage, I'm watching: Whether the foxtailing expression continues. ๐ŸŒธ How the flowers continue developing. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Overall plant health. ๐Ÿ’š Her beautiful dark-green character. ๐Ÿฆ„ How much more personality she decides to show us. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, documenting the journey. That's enough. No need to force anything. No need to invent work. No need to predict the ending. Just keep watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN SHINES Week 13. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š And honestly... I'm starting to really appreciate how different she is. She's not simply another plant in the room. She's becoming a very recognizable phenotype. The dark green. The beautiful flowers. The frost. The structure. And now... the foxtailing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ The more I compare her with the rest of the room... the more interesting that characteristic becomes. Maybe it's genetic. Maybe it's part of this cultivar's expression. Maybe the environment is simply helping reveal it. Whatever the final answer is... I'm enjoying watching the story unfold. And that's the whole point. We're not here to force every plant into the same mould. We're here to see what they become. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's becoming one beautiful, dark, frosty, foxtailing little unicorn. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ She's shining. She's doing her thing. And I'm almost just standing there enjoying the view. That's a pretty damn good place to be. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep maintaining. And let's let this girl finish the story she started. The harvest can wait. The scissors can wait. The trimming can wait. All of that belongs to another chapter. Right now... we grow. We observe. We provide. We appreciate. And we enjoy. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ Keep doing your thing, Frosted Guava. Keep surprising us. Keep showing us your personality. Keep making those beautiful weird flowers. And let's see where this genetic journey takes us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these beautiful unicorns to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Frosted Guava Pheno B? You're still doing exactly what you want. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ You're evolving. You're developing. You're shining. You're showing us a very interesting expression. And you're giving us another reason to love the genetic diversity inside this room. Maybe that foxtailing is genetic. Maybe there's more to discover. Maybe we'll understand it better by the end. And maybe... she'll simply keep being a beautiful little freak and leave us wondering. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ Either way... I'm enjoying the ride. So this week, the spotlight belongs to you. Let's make you shine. Let's appreciate every flower. Every foxtail. Every frosty little detail. Every beautiful green leaf. Every strange little structure. Because you're not trying to be anyone else. You're just being you. And that's exactly what makes you interesting. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the genetics keep speaking, the grower keeps enjoying the view, and our dark little unicorn keeps doing exactly what the hell she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š

The ladies are starting to stretch and flower. We also did a defoliation and lollipop session at the end of week 2 flower. Canopy and bud sites look good and are a plenty. Looking forward to next couple of weeks.
