WEEK 7 This week went pretty badly. The plant produced a lot of hermaphrodite growth, and I even considered cutting it down completely. In the end, I only removed all the pollen sacs and cut out that entire area. I hope the damage isnโ€™t too severe. Other than that, the plant seems to be doing very well. It has grown enormously during the stretch. Now Iโ€™m hoping to still get a few decent buds. PPFD: 750ยตmol/mยฒ/s Water: 2x water 1x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,6Kpa

Really happy to harvest this girl. Made sure I pushed her to the max. Just about 70 days. She was done around 65. 14hrs into pre fower and beyond. I find that with High ppf with less hrs. Makes for much better phenos. Really happy to say. This is SUCH A 100% TOP strain. And it'll be 500% a auto that I'll repeat Mind you I've hardly ever repeated any strains. Except mimosa X orange punch auto and super lemon haze. And a few CBDs. So, if anything that should speak volumes to me saying this is a tip top strain. Going to run her with one of their new autos, apple strudel is meant to have very high terps. All about the taste. And this Apricot Auto from Fastbuds has this in spades.

Hello to you from Russia, my friends from around the world. I thank all those who follow my progress and support me. Good luck! It's time to update my 13-week diary. I plan to make a harvest in a week, the plants are already fully talking about their ripeness. In General, things are going well for me, but due to weather conditions, the trip to the guerrilla cannabis plantations is postponed indefinitely. But I don't have to water them. Soon I plan on growing a new diary when the postal service delivers me new seeds and fertilizers for clones.

Week 0 : Sixshooter Hawkbo says Six Shooter is one of the top Fast Buds Strains, so i'm like "yeah man might as well run me some of these, i do like my weed top of the shelf!" so here it is with the six shooter , bought these direct during one of Fast bud's promotions, 3+2 x2 for the price of one, so yeah that' s a good deal ! germinating 5 let's see how many i end up keeping, depends on the rest of the seeds too ! overnight in a glass of water with a few drops of my kelp extract , protect it from the light , the next day looks like some already cracked, putting it in the RQS propagator, dont use your fingers to manipulated activated seeds , cover with some dirt, cover the propagator with a blanket to protect it from light and keep the temperature up. Let's see ! within a day three had cracked the surface, one was all squiggly from being put upside down but within a day it has straightened out, the two last ones took 3 more days to crack the surface, i'm saving them and keeping them closeby in case i need to replace any of the planted seeds. Six shooter have been great genetrics so far, i transplanted three of them on day 4. see you next week for more updates !

FLOWERING First flowering phenomena are visible in the tops of the plants.๐Ÿ˜œ -------------------------------- GROWTH The plants are still growing rapidly. To keep the size of the plants somewhat at the same height, I use the following techniques: ๐Ÿ˜ท 1. Removal of the side branches (Defoliation) -Small plants: I remove almost all side branches. In this way the small plants do not have to spend energy in the growth of side branches. -Large Plants: I don't remove anything. The plants will put energy into the growth of side branches, so the plants will not grow too fast in height. -Other plants: I remove the side branches in proportion to the size of the plants. In the course of the following days, I gradually remove all low side branches! 2. Tying the branches (Low Stress Training) -The smallest plants grow straight upwards. -The largest plants are tempered in their growth, afterI have tied them to the plant sticks with the help of plastic plant binders. On DAY 5 the plants vary in length between 23 and 41 cm AIR HUMIDITY ๐Ÿ˜จ When the lights are on, it gets nice and warm in the growing room. To keep the humidity at the desired level, I have two 7.5 liter humidifiers working almost continuously. In less than 24 hours I have to refill them. As long as the plants do not have real buds, I like high humidity so the plants to keep a low VPD. -------------------------------- WATER and NUTRITION ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Due to the high humidity, I don't have to give that much water. Every 3 days I give 1.25 liters of water per pot. I add 3 tablets of Easy Grow Booster to 10 liters of water. I divide this mixture between the 8 pots. This week I gave 2 x water.

The plants look much better. I put too much nuts On first week so I had to rest all of them -70%. In my case the Calcium was blocking the entry of potassium so I decided just put 0.5ml/2l. The smaller plants are in week 2 but I noticed 2 of them growing really fast, theyโ€™re almost like the others 4 plants who are one week older! Almost all f them will be transplanted at the end of this week

Kinda disappointed but given the circumstances with reveg and having to move the grow think I have to accept what the yields were. Itโ€™s all a learning experience that I can apply to my next grow, probably let them go a little longer for more amber and keep her a bit longer in veg and keep an eye on the light cycle ๐Ÿ˜‚ Also think i need to upgrade from this blurple led if i want to expect anything decent off my plants, it has been okay to use to test out and understand growing methods but I think I'll wait till ive upgraded that for my next grow.

Week 5 Veg ๐Ÿˆ๐ŸŒฑ Melonade K spent the week settling into her 3-gallon coco home while getting trained and spread out. Sheโ€™s been handling the heat wave like a champ despite tent temps peaking around 85ยฐF, and sheโ€™s really starting to fill back in after each training session. Finished the week with her first full-pot watering: 3L | pH 5.9 | 390 ppm with Silica, Cal/Mag, Grow, and Royal Rush. Runoff came back pH 6.8 | 624 ppmโ€”not bad at all for the first full runoff after transplant.

Week 8, 26 September - 2 October 2025 26- Sept - 2 Oct - Observed and let the plant grow. 1 Oct - Removed damaged/dieing leaves. This was the first significant removal of leaves from this plant. Only those that were damaged or dieing were cut. A plant this small needs as much canopy as it can get. You have to be careful not to remove too many leaves when the plant is in flower. - 2 Oct changed nutrient solution - 2 Oct updated feeding schedule - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 2.1 at 72 degrees F - Light power at 75%, DLI 45 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A The Little Unicorn Has Left the Tentโ€ฆ But Her Story Is Far From Over! ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธโœ‚๏ธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And today, my friendsโ€ฆ We have a different kind of update. Because our beautiful Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially left the tent. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ That's right. Our little unicorn. Our beautiful foxtailing freak. Our girl who spent week after week doing things her own way, building her unusual flowering structures, surprising us with her development, and reminding us that genetics don't always follow the script we expect. She finally told me: "Docโ€ฆ I think we've done enough in here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And who am I to argue with a queen? So I listened. We took the final photographs inside the tent. We gave her some time in the studio for more photographs and photo stacking. We documented her beautiful flowering structures from different angles. We enjoyed a little moment with our girl. And thenโ€ฆ It was time. โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒธ Frosted Guava Pheno A was harvested. But before anyone asksโ€ฆ Yes, I know we're posting a harvest-day update under a flowering week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And yes, there's a reason for that! We're going to explain everything, because this isn't the final harvest report. We still have drying to document, and there's more to come after that. Today is about the last day of our little unicorn in the tent, her final photographs, the studio session, the photo stacks, the harvest process, and the beginning of her drying journey. So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Because this girl has earned it. ๐Ÿฆ„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”€ ๐Ÿ“ข A QUICK APOLOGY โ€“ WHY IS HARVEST DAY IN A FLOWERING WEEK? Before we get into the beautiful photographs, let's explain something for anyone wondering why we're documenting harvest day in a flowering-week update. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photos per update. And when you're documenting an entire harvest, trimming, drying, and eventually the final report, thirty photographs can disappear very quickly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Especially when you're someone like me who enjoys documenting everything! We have photographs from inside the tent. We have photographs in the studio. We have photo stacks. We have different views of the plant. We have details of the flowers. We have the harvest itself. And we still have the drying process to document. So, rather than trying to squeeze the entire story into one update and leaving important parts out, we're spreading the journey across the available diary updates. That's why we're using this flowering week to document the final day in the tent and the beginning of the harvest story. Please consider this the first part of her harvest journey. We'll continue with the drying process and the remaining details in the next chapter or chapters, depending on how much material we have to share. And eventually, we'll bring everything together in the final report. This isn't us pretending she's still flowering. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's simply the most practical way to document her journey properly within the platform's limits. We want to show you the story, not just the final photograph. Thank you for understanding, my friends! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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„ A QUICK RECAP โ€“ FROM SEED TO STUDIO Let's take a moment to remember how we got here. Frosted Guava Auto was grown as part of the 8ร—8 Adventure, where multiple plants share the same general environment while expressing their own individual genetic characteristics. And this girl? She certainly gave us something different to follow. From the beginning, she developed her own personality. We watched her grow. We watched her flowering structures develop. We watched those unusual foxtailing formations become increasingly noticeable. And week after week, she continued doing her own thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ She didn't need to look exactly like her sister. She didn't need to behave like the other plants. She didn't need to follow somebody else's rhythm. She simply needed to be Frosted Guava Pheno A. And that's precisely what she did. One of my favourite things about following a plant from seed is that you gradually stop thinking about her as just a name on a label. You start recognizing her. You know her structure. You remember the way she developed. You notice her little differences. And eventually, when you walk into the room, you can spot her without even needing to look at the label. That's when a phenotype becomes a character in the story. And our little unicorn? She's been one of those characters throughout this adventure. 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE LAST DAY INSIDE THE 8ร—8 Before taking her out, we spent some time documenting her final moments inside the tent. These photographs are important to me because they capture the plant exactly where she completed her flowering journey. No studio background. No special photographic arrangement. Just Frosted Guava, standing in the environment where we've watched her develop. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ The room has been home to all these different personalities. Some plants have been faster. Some have been slower. Some have developed unusual structures. Some have surprised us with their size. And some have made us stop and look a little closer. Frosted Guava belongs firmly in that last category. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Those flowering structures have always made her interesting to photograph, and I wanted to make sure we had a proper record of her final day in the tent before moving on to the next stage. Because once she's harvested, that particular view is gone. The plant changes. The environment changes. The next chapter begins. So we take our photographs, appreciate the journey, and make sure the story is documented. And thenโ€ฆ We take our girl to the studio. 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 STUDIO TIME โ€“ THE LITTLE UNICORN GETS HER MOMENT Once Frosted Guava left the tent, we took her to the studio. And this is where I get to enjoy another part of growing that I absolutely love. Photography. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„ I don't only want to remember how a plant looked from across the room. I want to look at the details. The shape of the flowers. The structure of the main cola. The way the individual flowering sections developed. The little differences between one part of the plant and another. And that's why I spend so much time photographing these girls. It's not simply about taking one beautiful picture. It's about documenting the plant from different perspectives. A wider photograph tells one story. A closer photograph tells another. And a carefully made photo stack can reveal details that are difficult to appreciate in a single photograph. Frosted Guava gave us plenty to work with. Her unusual structures make her especially interesting to photograph, and the studio allowed us to give her the attention she deserved before moving on to the harvest itself. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ“ธ 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”ฌ PHOTO STACKING โ€“ PATIENCE, LIGHTS & A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS Let's talk about photo stacking for a moment. Because I know that when people see a finished stacked photograph, it can look like something that happens with the click of a button. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Wellโ€ฆ Not quite! Photo stacking is a process in which multiple photographs of the same subject, captured at slightly different focus distances, are combined to produce a final image with greater apparent depth of field. In simple terms, the camera captures different parts of the subject in focus, and the software combines those focused areas into one image. The result can reveal a remarkable amount of detail. But getting there takes time. It takes patience. It takes careful positioning. And it takes lighting that works for the subject. For these photographs, I use several SmallRig LED lights in the studio to shape the light the way I want it. I adjust the lighting to bring out the texture, colours, and details without losing the character of the flower. The position of the lights matters. The angle matters. The focus matters. And the individual photographs need to work together. Some of the stacks we're sharing from this adventure contain hundreds of photographs. With Frosted Guava, we're showing stacks made from 78, 84, 105, 108, 111, 147, and 206 photographs. And that's only part of the story! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ Each stack has its own purpose. Sometimes I want to show the main cola. Sometimes I want to capture a smaller flower. Sometimes I want to explore an interesting section of the plant. And sometimes I'm simply curious to see how much detail I can bring out of a particular subject. I love this process. It's another way of appreciating the plant beyond the grow room. Growing gives us the subject. Photography gives us another way to explore it. And the more I do it, the more I enjoy it. 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 THE STACKS ARE PART OF THE STORY You'll see several different kinds of photographs in this update. Some show Frosted Guava while she was still in the tent. Others show her in the studio. Some are wider views of the plant and her flowering structures. Others are closer photographs of individual flowers. And then we have the stacked images. Each one documents a different part of the journey. One of the fun stacks includes a trimming scene with a flower in the trim bin, scissors, and a lighter. That particular stack contains 78 photographs. It's not the biggest stack in the collection, but I enjoyed making it because it captures a little moment around the harvest process. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโœ‚๏ธ And that's something I like about photography. Not every photograph needs to be a technical masterpiece. Some are experiments. Some are made to learn something. Some are simply fun. And sometimes the smaller projects are the ones that make you smile the most. We also included a video showing part of the photo-stacking process, because I wanted to give everyone an idea of what actually happens behind the final image. It's not instant magic. It's a series of photographs, careful setup, lighting, focus, and processing. And yesโ€ฆ A fair amount of patience! 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 HARVEST TIME โ€“ OUR LITTLE UNICORN LEAVES THE STAGE After the photographs, it was time to move on. Frosted Guava had completed her flowering journey, and I decided it was time to harvest her. We took our final moments in the studio, documented the process, and then chopped the plant down. โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ It's always a strange moment. On one hand, it's exciting because you get to see the result of everything you've followed throughout the grow. On the other hand, you've spent weeks watching this plant develop. You've seen the changes. You've photographed the flowers. You've made observations. You've given her a name. And now, suddenly, the plant you recognize from the tent is entering a completely different stage. The flowering chapter is finished. The post-harvest chapter begins. And our little unicorn is no longer standing in the room with the others. She's moving on to the next part of her journey. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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”€ โœ‚๏ธ A LITTLE TRIMMING โ€“ BUT NOT A FULL WET TRIM Once the plant was harvested, I broke her down and removed the fan leaves and other leaves I didn't want to keep around the flowers. We also did some initial trimming. But I want to make one thing clear. I'm not really calling this a full wet trim. It's more of a partial initial trim before drying. The idea was to remove the leaves we didn't need while preparing the flowers for the next stage, without trying to complete every part of the final trimming process immediately. Most of the material went onto the drying rack. However, I also kept some colas intact so we can enjoy the experience of seeing a larger cola after drying. Because let's be honestโ€ฆ Sometimes you just want to see that big, beautiful cola sitting there after the drying process. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ We don't have to turn every part of the harvest into the same shape or presentation. Different pieces can be handled differently depending on what we want to document and enjoy later. For this update, the important thing is that Frosted Guava has been harvested, the initial breakdown is complete, and most of her flowers are now resting on the drying rack. The rest of the process is still ahead of 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”€ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ THE DRYING JOURNEY BEGINS And nowโ€ฆ We wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava is no longer growing under the lights. She's no longer sharing the tent with the other plants. She's now in the drying stage, in a separate space away from the flowering room, where the next part of her journey will take place. Our current plan is to keep the drying environment around 20โ€“21ยฐC. For the initial period, we're aiming for relative humidity around 45%, then bringing it up towards the 60% range and keeping the conditions as stable as we reasonably can. These are our intended conditions, not a guarantee that every reading will remain identical throughout the process. Drying is influenced by several things, including the environment, the amount and arrangement of plant material, airflow, and how the flowers lose moisture over time. And that's why I don't want to promise an exact number of days. A typical drying period can fall somewhere around one to two weeks, but the actual duration can vary. We'll monitor the process and document what happens rather than deciding in advance that every plant must be ready on a particular day. The goal now is to let Frosted Guava rest while we keep an eye on the drying process. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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ณ HOW LONG WILL SHE TAKE? That's the question, isn't it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And the honest answer isโ€ฆ We'll see. One week? Possibly. Two weeks? Also possible. The exact timing depends on how the flowers dry under the conditions we maintain. I don't want to make a promise today and then pretend the plant has to follow it. The drying process deserves patience just as much as the flowering process did. We'll continue monitoring the environment and the flowers, and we'll share more information in the next update. For now, Frosted Guava has started her drying journey. She's resting. We're observing. And the next chapter will come when we have something meaningful to report. 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€“ ONE MORE GIRL MOVES ON There's something worth remembering here. Frosted Guava was part of a room full of different plants, all sharing the same general growing environment. But she has now completed her flowering journey and moved into the next stage. The rest of the room is still going. The other girls are continuing their own stories, each at her own pace. And that's one of the reasons we document these plants individually. They don't all finish at the same time. They don't all develop in the same way. And they don't all have the same personality. Frosted Guava was our little unicorn. She gave us her unusual flowering structures, her own rhythm, and plenty of beautiful details to photograph. Now she has left the tent, and the rest of the adventure continues around her. Same project. Same room for the plants still flowering. Different stages. Different stories. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„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”ฌ WHY I LOVE DOCUMENTING THE PROCESS For me, this is about more than showing the final result. I enjoy documenting the entire journey. The early growth. The flowering stages. The changes in structure. The unusual characteristics. The photographs. The harvest. The drying. And eventually, the final report. Each stage gives us something different to learn from. And because I'm also interested in photography, I enjoy documenting details that might otherwise be overlooked. That's why we have the studio photographs. That's why we have the stacks. That's why we show a little of the process behind the images. I want people to see more than the finished photograph. I want them to understand the time, patience, and curiosity that went into making it. The same applies to the grow diary itself. A harvest is not the end of the story. It's the beginning of another stage. And Frosted Guava still has more chapters to come. 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„ THE LITTLE UNICORN HAS EARNED HER NAME Looking back at this girl's journey, I think the nickname fits her perfectly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's been unusual. She's been interesting. She's given us those beautiful foxtailing structures. And she has kept me curious throughout the flowering process. I never wanted her to look exactly like another plant. I wanted to see what this particular phenotype would do. And she showed us. That's the beauty of following individual plants. You get to know their characteristics, document their differences, and appreciate each one for what she actually is. Frosted Guava Pheno A doesn't need to be another plant. She has her own story. And now, even though she's left the tent, that story continues. The next part will be about drying, and after that we'll have more to share. So don't go anywhere, little unicorn fans! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ We're not finished yet. 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 WHAT COMES NEXT? The flowering chapter is complete for Frosted Guava Pheno A. But the overall journey isn't finished. Next, we'll continue documenting the drying process and see how long she takes under the conditions we're maintaining. We'll share more details as the process progresses. And eventually, we'll bring together the remaining observations in her final report. That means more photographs, more information, and another opportunity to look back at the entire journey. For now, she's resting. The rest of the room is still flowering. And I'm already looking forward to the next chapter. 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’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE LITTLE UNICORN HAS LEFT THE TENT Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Harvest day. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธโœ‚๏ธ What a beautiful journey this girl has given us. She started as a seed. She grew into her own personality. She developed those unusual foxtailing structures. She kept surprising us. And now, she's completed her flowering journey and moved on to drying. We've documented her last day inside the tent. We've taken her to the studio. We've photographed her from different angles. We've created several photo stacks. We've shared a little of the process behind the photographs. We've harvested her. We've removed the leaves we didn't want to keep. We've placed most of the flowers on the drying rack. And we've kept a few beautiful colas intact so we can appreciate them after drying. But we're not calling this the final report. There's still more to come. The drying process is underway, and we'll document that journey in the next update or updates, depending on what we have to share. The rest of the room is still going, and the 8ร—8 Adventure continues. So, little unicornโ€ฆ Thank you for the show. Thank you for the beautiful photographs. Thank you for the strange and wonderful flowers. Thank you for keeping me curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š You have left the tent, but you haven't left the story. We'll keep following your journey through drying and beyond. And when the time comes, we'll bring everything together in the final report. Until thenโ€ฆ Rest well, little unicorn. Your next chapter has begun. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธโœจ 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, a massive thank you 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. And thank you for understanding why this harvest-day update appears under a flowering week. The platform's photo limit means we need to divide the material into manageable updates, and I would rather share the full story across several chapters than leave important parts undocumented. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this beautiful little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the growing-media and nutritional side of this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, comments, asks questions, shares experiences, and enjoys the journey with us. Every bit of support means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š ๐ŸŒฟ COME JOIN OUR COMMUNITY! If you're looking for a place to talk, learn, share experiences, ask questions, or simply hang out with fellow plant enthusiasts, you're more than welcome to join us on Discord. ๐Ÿ’š DogDoctorOfficial Community: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial The community keeps growing, and we're building something I genuinely love being part of. We have conversations, community discount codes, competitions, prizes, giveaways, and plenty of opportunities to share experiences with people who enjoy this plant as much as we do. But the most important part isn't the discounts or the prizes. It's the people. It's the conversations. It's the friendships. It's the feeling that you can come in, say hello, ask a question, share something you've learned, or simply listen. There's no experience level required. You don't have to be an expert. You don't have to know every technical term. You don't even have to speak all the time. Everybody is welcome, and nobody needs to prove themselves before joining the conversation. We want a community where people can learn from each other, enjoy the subject, and feel comfortable being part of the group. For me, it's becoming something that feels like family. And we'd love to have you with us. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿค Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you in the next chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventureโ€ฆ where one little unicorn has left the tent, the rest of the room continues its journey, the studio lights are finally cooling down, and DogDoctor is already looking forward to the next set of photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The harvest is done. The drying journey has begun. And the story continues. Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ

5/25 watered with pH about six. I finished trellising everything. One end left tacked so I can slide the girls in. Wife had medical emergency or they would be in the ground right now. Oh well I imagine a day more won't hurt but I'm getting excited. Spot treated WPM on a GDP. I have a feeling I'm going to need to be on point with my IPM this year. 5/26 I finally got the girls in their homes! It's a tight fit. Only seven right now. I'm considering using axium to help with any transplant shock. They were already severely rootbound in 2 gal when I got them and some were VERY rootbound in the 3 gal. They were transplanted using mykos and info a 50 gal pot and grow bags 30 and 20 gals. I may use kangaroos or something tomorrow. A few were rough transplants since they were so big and rootbound. I'm hoping everything works out. I'll try to keep this updated. I also put most of them in backwards lol. I'm sure it doesn't matter but I turned the few I was able too. 5/27 Plants look great. I was a little worried about transplant shock but damn they seem fine. Rained lightly last night. 5/31 I see pH fluctuation on some leaves. Soil wasn't mixed enough on a couple plants. pH jumped to 8 on one I hope the rain lowered it. They survived a couple stops and still doing good. No nutes yet.
