Week IX — The Trial of Fire A big heat storm has descended upon Eldritch Gardens. For this week, the chamber has endured an oppressive wave of warmth and humidity. The air hangs heavy beneath the false suns. Moisture lingers where it should not. The fans labor endlessly against the thick atmosphere, yet the garden persists. Plant #1 — The Fat One — Colas swell across its sprawling structure like great green towers rising from an eldritch city. Everywhere the eye wanders, new clusters emerge, stacking upon one another in formations of almost absurd density. The buds are becoming enormous. The resin thickens. The promise grows heavier by the day. And its fragrance has evolved into something magnificent. The sharp gas that once dominated now mingles with rich notes of fruit, creating an intoxicating combination that drifts through the chamber. Beneath it all lurks a peculiar marker-like sharpness, a scent reminiscent of permanent ink and strange chemistry. Plant #2 — The Battered One --Though Plant #1 commands attention through sheer mass, Plant #2 reaches higher into the artificial heavens, its towering structure crowned with beautifully formed colas that continue to stack with remarkable consistency. Every branch seems determined to become a flowering spear aimed toward the false stars above. Its scent is simpler. More direct. Pure diesel. An aroma so aggressive and unmistakable that it announces its presence long before the plant itself comes into view. Plant #5 — The Red One. The mutant. The mystery. While the others settled into their flowering forms, Plant #5 delivered one final surprise. During the third week of bloom, it unleashed a dramatic stretch, surging upward with unexpected determination until it nearly matched its larger companions in height. No longer dwarfed. No longer forgotten. Its fragrance follows the diesel lineage of the garden, yet carries a sweeter undertone that softens the harsh edges of fuel and transforms it into something more exotic. Yet its peculiarities remain. Flowers continue to emerge from improbable places. Buds appear where leaves should dominate. Certain formations seem almost confused, as though the plant follows a biological script written by a different author than the others. The mutations persists. And strangely, that only deepens its charm. The garden now stands at a fascinating crossroads. The stretch is over. The architecture has been built. The battle for space has already been won. Now comes the era of swelling flowers. The era of resin. The era of aroma. The heat wave may challenge the chamber, but the chosen three continue their work undeterred. Their roots drink relentlessly. Their flowers expand daily. Their scents mingle into a thick cloud of fruit, gas, diesel, sweetness, and strange chemical whispers. And from somewhere beyond the humming fans and shimmering LEDs, the ancient god watches patiently as the harvest slowly reveals the secrets hidden within The Gassy One.

It was a good week, with some good growth. The ladies have settled in and are a starting to reach up. I’ve been keeping the environment steady at about 78 degrees, and 60-62% humidity. It goes down to about 70 degrees at night. I’ve been watering sparingly still, about 1 cup of water every third day. Near the end of the week they were getting 2 cups and have lasted more than two days without showing they are needing again. I decreased the light schedule to 18 hours, and they seem to be benefiting from the dark cycle, or less DLI. LST will start next week! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Nach der fünften Blütewoche entwickelt sich die Orange Bud weiterhin akurat. Die Pflanze bildet viele Stugmen aus und die Dichte zieht sich so von Kopf bis Fuß durch. Ein bisschen Spitzen Burning ist zu verzeichnen. Dafür bilden sich die Blutentriebe sehr schön aus. Und die Stigman fangen an zu sprießen. Durch das ReVegitieren, hat die Pflanze leider etwas an Stabilität verloren, daher tragen die Seitäste nun das Gewicht der Blüten nicht so gut. Diese Woche gab es noch einen Bio Tabs PK Booster Komposttee 🌿☕ Ich hab nochmal ein paar Blätter rausgenommen, so dass die Pflanze auch im unteren Bereich schön ausgeleuchtet werden kann. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell hot and dry: ————— 🌞 Temp: 27°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 49% VPD: 1,42 kPa 💡ppfd: 830 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Second week of flush and the girls are looking ready. I’m always learning though and will definitely have to be more savage with my lollipoping in the future as I’ve got a fair bit of larf on lower branches. Almost harvest time 😍😍

01 Jul 2021 The harvest for my first plant is all done and documented! Yea!! My Blueberry Muffin looks fabulous. Her buds are starting to get frosty and grow, grow, grow! She looks great, and she’s still doing a little bit of a stretch, but it’s slowing down some. She’s still way bigger than her tent mate (Blue Ox), but still way smaller than my first plant. I have a feeling that if she doesn’t produce a lot, it will be my fault since I haven’t been giving her as much care as she really needs. I’m going out of town for the holiday weekend, so maybe they’re used to going without long enough that there won’t be any issue. I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞just in case. In feeding, I’m sticking with the Mid-Bloom stage for at least another week, then maybe I’ll adjust them some. Today I gave CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml mixed into a gallon of water chilled to 42.2F. The initial pH was 6.6 and didn’t require adjustment. The TDS going in was 842 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.1 (better than the last time), and TDS runoff was 2548 ppm. We’ve been having a heat wave here, so the temp is creeping up in the grow tent. Today it was 86F, and the humidity was 48%. 03 Jul 2021 My Lady is looking lovely today! I can see by looking at her HST branches that she’s still into the stretch just a little bit because they have increased in height since the other day when I first made a mental note of how they were lying on the top of my support net. Today they are resting about 2 inches above it. Now that growth has been since I put her in the big tent with the net of course, so that was on the 30th just a few short days ago. Some of her leaves are showing some issues, but just on the side with the rotating fan. I’m wondering if it could be drying them out some, and not a deficiency because there are no other issues anywhere on the plant. The same goes for her tent mate, so by rule of deduction it has to be the fan. Maybe I’ll lower the power a bit when I get back? I’m going to be gone for a few days and I don’t want them to get too hot in case the heat wave doesn’t let up. I received one of the new nutrient supplements I ordered and started using it today with the nutrients already in use. Today I fed a gallon of water from the tap. Due to time constraints I didn’t chill it. I fed CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml, and started Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was 6.3 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 1242 ppm. The runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2777 ppm. The tent temperature was 79F, and humidity was 53%. Hopefully the Liquid Kool Bloom will have arrived by the time I get back!

What can i say about this amazing success story from Barneys Farm. They were a breeze to grow and took whatever i theew at them without a hitch. the bigger pheno girls were amazi g with growth spurts and went easily more than double in stretch. I ran out of silicon and calmag which did hold them back a little during flower. In true Gorilla strain style , they were floppy with their weights from about week 6 and i suggest staking early on for a better control of their bud position. Without my lazy growing practices ( being resolved for the fast bud run shortly !) , i feel this strain is a winner. rhe smaller phenos were unfortunate but still gave nice buds to smoke. I would recommend this stesin to growers at all levels. easy if you want it to be but would meet you every step of the way with more complex training methods too. Love Gorilla Skittelz. Thanks for sticking around and commenting. Would happily share a bowl with you all.

50th day of flowering behind us Purple Punch X Do-si-dos # 1 and # 2 ripen trichomes are milky, at the end of 8 weeks they will go under the scythe. Zombie Kush has a moment too, it looks unbelievable, the resin is fluffy and the velvet splendor. And bananas hopefully they will be good .. We are looking forward to the harvest! Thanks a lot to everyone who likes the diary, let it grow! Thanks!

2/10: I watered today with about 3/4 gallon each, plus cal-mag, signal, bembe, armor si, a little open sesame, and their final dose of endoboost. The short one never did stop making the hook leaves on all her new growth, but she seems happy..budding faster than anybody else.. 2/11: Wife home sick today....postponing construction project to raise the lights. 2/12: Today, I tackled the project to raise my ceiling another foot. In addition to that project, I installed and hooked up my new AC Infinity 6" intake fan. It's pulling in fresh air from the soffit vent on the eave of the attic, and currently feeding the garden with 46f fresh air. I'm able to easily maintain daytime temps in the lower 70f's now. I am able to drive the nighttime temps as low as I want. The only issue is that the outdoor RH varies quite a bit, so I ordered a 30-pint dehumidifier to put in the top of the closet. I sprayed everybody with boomboom spray to try and mitigate the light burn damage that is likely to ensue. 2/13: The taller one is still stretching a little bit, but the 2-footer is just budding up. 2/14: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, cal-mag, signal, bembe, humic acid, and I switched over from Open Sesame to Beastie Bloomz. Raised the lights another couple of inches. I did some training on them and defo'd a little bit. 2/15: Installed the new dehumidifier and rigged the continuous drain on it...works great. 2/16: I rotated the edge plants and removed some old leaves. I added another 22w 3000k 4' bar light under the canopy. 2/17: I rearranged the garden and defoliated a little bit. That's it for week 8-

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

First week of flowering for the girls. We started with some master bloom from Xpert nutrients and continue with master root also from xpert nutrients. We placed a net above the poants to guide some of the taller branches and create a more equal canopy. We defoliated some lower leaves and for the rest it looks quite good, some plants showed a little sign of overfeeding so we lower the dosis this week.

This week has been awesome with these ladies! Have moved them to the flowering tent and letting them get acclimated in here. Will prolly do 1 more week then switch to flower for this tent! Have got all 6 ladies all stacked in here all tight together. They are already demanding alot of water so I can see how a drip system might be nice but idk if would work for coco Still doing same 5.6- 5.7 ph declorinated water with a heavy feed. Still doing some training as these girls grow so have more tops as they streach. I maintain about a 60%RH for this room for now and give them ladies about 1400ml every 2 or 3 days. Will do a pre-flower check again in the next couple days should be showing havnt looked much! Fingers crossed!! Much

# Blueberry Muffin by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🍇🌱 ## Vegetative Week 1 | Settling Into Her New Home Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the journey of Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Last week we followed this seed from germination into its first days above the soil. This week marks the beginning of true vegetative growth and the first important step toward establishing a healthy root system and a strong foundation for everything that follows. As mentioned in the germination report, all plants in this project are being grown under a 12/12 light cycle from seed. It is a method that differs from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my cultivation style over time. Because of that, we approach the early stages slightly differently than many traditional vegetative grows. --- ## Moving Into The Final Home One of the first major steps this week was transplanting the seedlings into their final containers. Normally many growers choose to gradually increase pot size through several transplant stages. In this project we decided to move directly into the final homes from the beginning. The reasoning is simple. When growing under 12/12 from seed, every day matters. We want the roots to establish themselves as quickly as possible without interruptions, restrictions, or unnecessary transplant stress later in the cycle. The goal is to allow the plant to focus on building roots immediately and continuously from the very beginning. --- ## Lightmix & Early Root Development The final containers were filled with Plagron Lightmix. Lightmix provides a gentle environment for young plants while still offering enough nutrition to support early development without overwhelming delicate root systems. At this stage we are not trying to force growth. We are trying to build foundations. Strong roots today become strong plants tomorrow. --- ## Water First, Food Later The first irrigation after transplant consisted only of plain water. This is something I personally prefer during the earliest stages. Young seedlings still carry nutritional reserves from the seed itself and are growing within a lightly fertilized substrate. There is usually no need to rush nutrients immediately. Instead, the focus remains on root establishment. Several days later, once the plants had settled into their new environment, a very gentle feeding program was introduced using: 🌱 Plagron Terra Grow 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal 🌱 Plagron Power Roots The dosage remains intentionally light. At this stage less is often more. The objective is not maximum growth. The objective is steady, healthy growth. --- ## Introducing PPFD & DLI This week also marks the point where we begin paying attention to light intensity. The seedlings are already receiving approximately 350 PPFD. At first glance this may sound relatively high for young plants, but context matters. Because these plants are growing under 12 hours of light rather than the more common 18 or even 24-hour schedules, Daily Light Integral (DLI) becomes extremely important. A plant receiving 350 PPFD for 12 hours accumulates significantly less total daily light than a plant receiving the same PPFD for 18 hours. For that reason we begin acclimating them to stronger light levels earlier than many growers might expect. The goal is adaptation rather than shock. We want the plants to become comfortable with higher light intensity from the beginning while still remaining within a safe range. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. 🌡️ Day temperature: approximately 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: approximately 55% 🌱 Root zone temperature: approximately 21°C 💧 Solution temperature: approximately 21°C Stable environmental conditions allow seedlings to focus their energy on growth rather than constantly adapting to changing conditions. Consistency remains one of the most powerful cultivation tools available. --- ## Early Observations Even this early, Pheno A is already beginning to show a little personality. Nothing dramatic. Nothing concerning. Just subtle differences in growth structure and leaf development compared to her sister. These small variations are exactly why each phenotype is now being documented separately. At this stage it is far too early to draw conclusions, but it is always exciting to watch the first hints of individuality emerge. Nature rarely creates two identical plants. And that is part of the beauty. --- ## Looking Ahead The roots are establishing. The first true vegetative growth is underway. Nutrition has been introduced. The environment is stable. And now the real journey begins. Next week should bring faster growth, larger leaves, stronger root development, and perhaps even more clues about the personality of this Blueberry Muffin phenotype. For now, patience remains the plan. One week at a time. One observation at a time. One lesson at a time. --- ## Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition and substrate used throughout this run. And thank you to Future of Grow, and everyone following along on this journey. As always, thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy watching these plants grow as much as I enjoy documenting them. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚
