Very good week, got some low stress training going on, some netting a little bit of defoliation happen this week.

Sorry on vacation so a couple of pics from the cam and a time lapse is all I can give you! See you for a detailed update next week as we get close to flip :)

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. After this week end, we will cut the first Tropicanna XL plant:D Middle this week we changed the reservoir water for a fresh solution. This plant will not get a flush before harvest, it's the first time i'm not flushing a plant for the cut but you know only two of the four girls are ready to chop and it's not possible in my RDWC to seperate feed them. So yes it's kind of an experiment for me. Something's not right with my fresh solution or the plants get root rot or something but the girls starting to show K deficiency...good that the plants are on the finish line :) The SE7000 runs at 540 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweter Seeds for the gift of genetics, this cultivar really rocks 💪☘️💚 https://sweetseeds.es/en I also want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en or https://numazon.cz/homepage/ That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

j’espère que le mois d’octobre sera suffisant pour que les fleurs prennent du volume

11/28 - My god is she shooting up! 5.5" in a week... and still the claw, claw, claw of her leaves. And she's SO close to being in flower... they'll probably be quite evident in a couple of days... I've been using the LST clips to help me tuck her fan leaves under the bud sites.. rather hilarious but it works! Soon, I'll be LSTing the bud sites themselves once their branches get a little longer... Next grow, I'm going to try a different method of LST - but for now I'll go with the way I've always done it. Oh Pinky... I wish you'd tell me why your leaves are clawing! 11/29 - Oops... I had typed in the wrong date for the comment above! It wasn't 11/18 - it was 11/28 - yesterday! Anyway, I fixed it. And Pinky is going great guns... she's now starting to go through water quite a bit and continuing her stretch... I may have to transfer her to the closet (headroom 7') after Bruce #2 is finished in there! But that's not going to be for quite a while yet so I think I might have to get a little more serious about her LST... I can't remember what the harvest time is estimated at by Seedsman.... of course, I'd have to add a couple of weeks to their rose-colored-glasses estimates - but I'd better check it out. Yikes! 11/30 - She's doing really well... I had hoped to do some LST on her yesterday and then my day rather exploded on me - so I'll get to that today for sure. The Day 30 pic I've put up here is interesting... when I got up this morning and took a look at her, I was convinced she was now in flower... but I just don't know... and I guess it makes little difference - I just prefer to think of her as being in flower now and so I declare she is! LOL! Princess Pinky! What a lovely gal! (But I STILL want to know why your leaves are curling, you crazy lady!) 12/2 - good god! GOOD GOD!!!! This lady has grown 6.5" since I last measured her on 11/28... FOUR DAYS!! Ya think she's unhappy?! I don't!! Starting to really love this lady who is now definitely in flower... She's so spacey, I doubt I'll have to do any defoliation at all on her.... I'm now DEFINITELY planning to transfer her to the grow closet when my #2 Bruce is done - and hope she can hold on in the tent until that happens... I was NOT expecting her to get so tall! 12/04 - Oh. My. God. She won't slow her growth!! She's adding about 1.5" to her height every day... Oh my aching back!! I should have done a different kind of LST on this one early in the game - bent her over completely - but what did I know?! Can't see the future at all... even with my tri-focals! LOL! If you grow this strain from Seedsman, kick the LST into high gear in the first couple of weeks... Now I'm having to try to figure out how I'm going to handle her! LMAO!!!! Going to be raising her EC today ... up another 0.2 and adding some KoolBloom to her mix... Still am not anticipating the need for defoliation...

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 15 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B 🌸 A More Colourful Goodbye — The Compact Girl Finishes Her Story in Her Own Style Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And before we get into this beautiful girl, I want to start with a little explanation. First of all, apologies for the slightly different format of these reports lately. There is quite a lot happening behind the scenes, and with so many individual plants, phenotypes, photographs, observations and different stages of development, I've decided to give every girl the space she deserves. So, for anyone joining us for the first time, let's take a moment to explain what we're doing here. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — A LITTLE RECAP FOR NEWCOMERS This project is a full 12/12-from-seed experiment. Yes, you read that correctly! We're exploring what happens when different genetics and individual phenotypes share the same general environment under a 12/12 light schedule from the beginning. No traditional extended vegetative period. No separate lighting schedules for different plants. Just one shared room, one general environmental approach, and a collection of different genetic expressions developing alongside one another. And that's precisely where things get interesting. Some plants stretch considerably. Some remain compact. Some develop quickly, while others take their time. Some finish earlier, some need longer, and even plants from the same cultivar can show noticeably different characteristics. That's why we're documenting each plant individually. Although several girls share the same genetics, each phenotype has her own diary, photographs, observations and development timeline. We want every report to tell a complete story on its own. Someone following Pheno A shouldn't need to search through Pheno B's diary to understand what's happening. And someone discovering Pheno B halfway through the project should be able to follow her journey from beginning to end. There will naturally be some overlap between reports, because these plants share the same room and many of the same conditions. But their individual stories are worth documenting separately. Same room. Same general conditions. Different genetics, different expressions, and sometimes very different personalities. That's the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── 💙 BLUEBERRY MUFFIN PHENO B — HER OWN KIND OF FINALE And now... Let's talk about this beautiful little lady! Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. 😂💙 If you've been following her diary, you already know that she was never particularly interested in competing with the taller girls. She's been compact throughout the run, developing at her own pace and generally giving us the impression that she has absolutely no intention of rushing anything. And honestly, she stayed true to that personality right until the end. But there is something I particularly like about the way this girl finished. Compared with her sister, Pheno B developed a more colourful expression towards the end of her journey. The difference is especially interesting when we look at the flowers closely. Two Blueberry Muffins. Same general environment. Same overall treatment. Two individual phenotypes. And two slightly different final expressions. That's exactly the kind of detail I want to preserve in these diaries. Because if we simply photographed the two plants together and called them Blueberry Muffin, we'd miss part of the story. Pheno B deserves her own spotlight. And today, we're giving it to her. 💙🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌈 A LITTLE MORE COLOUR IN THE FINAL CHAPTER One of the things that immediately caught my attention was the colour development. Compared with Pheno A, this girl finished with a more colourful appearance. And I absolutely love seeing these differences between sisters. The final photographs give us a beautiful look at the flowers, their different shades, the pistils, and the individual structures that developed throughout the run. There is something particularly rewarding about looking back at the photographs from the early weeks and comparing them with what we have in front of us now. At the beginning, we were looking at a small plant under a 12/12 schedule. Then came the development of her structure. The first flowers. The stacking. The gradual changes in the flowers. And eventually, this. A compact Blueberry Muffin with her own personality and a more colourful finish than her sister. No need to make her story bigger than it is. She's beautiful exactly as she is. 💙🌈🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE MACRO WORLD — THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET REALLY INTERESTING Now, my friends... Let's get closer. A lot closer. 😂🔬 This report includes quite a collection of photographs, and I wanted to give the flowers the attention they deserve. We've gone deep into the details with our macro photography and focus-stacking work. And when I say deep, I mean DEEP. We're not only looking at the overall flower structure. We're exploring individual details that are almost impossible to appreciate in a normal photograph. The trichomes. The resin-covered surfaces. The pistils. The different textures. The tiny structures surrounding the flowers. And some of the less conventional subjects that most people probably wouldn't think of photographing. We even included root photography and focus-stacking experiments. Because why stop at the flowers? 😂🌱🔬 The roots are part of the story too! For anyone unfamiliar with focus stacking, it's a photographic technique where multiple images are captured at different focus distances and combined to produce a photograph with a greater depth of field. At macro magnifications, the depth of field can become incredibly shallow. A tiny change in focus can make a huge difference. By combining multiple photographs, we can reveal much more detail across a small subject than a single image would normally show. And that's what makes this kind of photography so fascinating. We're not simply taking a close-up. We're exploring a miniature world that is already there, waiting to be discovered. 📸🔬💙 ──────────────────────── ❄️ TRICHOMES, RESIN AND THE LITTLE DETAILS If there is one thing this photo collection makes particularly clear, it's how much detail there is to appreciate in these flowers. The trichomes are everywhere in our close-up photographs. Different structures, different angles, different levels of focus, and a completely different perspective from what we see when looking at the whole plant. Some of these photographs are really something else. And I particularly enjoy the way the macro work reveals the relationship between the flower surface, the trichomes and the surrounding plant structures. You can spend quite some time looking at these images. And that's exactly the point. Sometimes we become so focused on the overall plant that we forget just how much is happening at a microscopic scale. There's an entire little world hiding in those flowers. And this girl gave us plenty of opportunities to explore it. ❄️🔬🌸 ──────────────────────── 🦋 COLOURFUL WINGS AND UNEXPECTED VISITORS And then we have some of my favourite little discoveries from this photo session. Those beautiful colourful wings! Some of the macro photographs capture tiny details that are easy to overlook when looking at the plant normally. The colours, reflections and delicate structures make for some fascinating images. And, of course, we also have our little visitors. Fungus gnats caught on the sticky traps. 😂? Not exactly the guests we invited to the photography session, but apparently they wanted to participate. Jokes aside, they're part of the real-world observations from the room, and I like documenting what we actually encounter rather than pretending everything is always perfectly staged. Not every photograph needs to be glamorous. Sometimes the little details tell us something about the environment around the plants too. And sometimes they simply make us laugh. 😂🌱 ──────────────────────── 🌿 ONE CULTIVAR, TWO SISTERS, TWO DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS I want to make a point of highlighting the difference between Pheno A and Pheno B. Their diaries naturally share some similarities. They belong to the same cultivar. They shared the same general environment. They followed the same overall approach throughout the run. But their final appearances weren't identical. Pheno B developed a more colourful finish than her sister. And that's a lovely distinction to have documented. This is one of the reasons I enjoy keeping individual phenotype records. A cultivar name gives us a starting point, but it doesn't tell us everything about how an individual plant will express herself. Two plants can share a genetic background and still develop different structures, colours, flowering patterns and individual characteristics. We're not trying to decide which sister is better. We're simply documenting what each one gave us. Pheno A has her own story. Pheno B has hers. And both deserve to be remembered individually. 💙🌸 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ARTIFICIAL SUN — SAME LIGHTING ECOSYSTEM Throughout this journey, the lighting environment has remained part of the shared setup. Our Future of Grow Black Series LEDs provide the main lighting, supported by the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that expanded the lighting capability of the room. After introducing the extra fixtures, we adjusted their output to approximately 59% from the plug. Our upper-canopy reference was approximately 1,500 PPFD, with actual intensity varying according to plant height and position. The idea was never simply to throw more light into the room. It was to have additional lighting capability and flexibility without needing to operate every fixture at maximum output. And once again, it's interesting to remember that Pheno A and Pheno B shared this same general lighting environment. Same photons. Same artificial sun. Different plants. Different expressions. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. 💡🌱🙏 ──────────────────────── ❤️ A LITTLE RED LIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT We're also documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. This has been part of the lighting routine we're exploring during this run. As discussed in previous reports, red and far-red wavelengths interact with plant photoreceptors, including the phytochrome system. It's important, however, not to confuse different lighting treatments or assume that one automatically produces the effects of another. The classic Emerson effect, for example, describes enhanced photosynthetic activity under particular combinations of red and far-red light. That is not the same thing as claiming that a short end-of-day red-light treatment automatically produces the Emerson effect. The spectrum, intensity, timing and conditions matter. And I prefer to keep the science honest. We're documenting what we're doing, exploring the subject and learning along the way. No magical promises. Just curiosity and observation. 🔬💡 ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE FINAL CHAPTER — KEEPING THE SAME GENERAL APPROACH As with the other plants in the room, Pheno B shared the same general environmental and nutritional approach throughout this stage. The room continued under the established 12/12 schedule, with the same lighting ecosystem and overall project conditions. There was no separate environmental strategy created specifically for this phenotype. That's important to remember when looking at the differences between the sisters. They weren't given two completely different environments to produce two different appearances. They shared the same general conditions, and we're documenting the individual expressions that developed. For this final chapter, the focus is no longer on introducing new changes. It's on documenting what we have. The flowers. The colours. The structure. The macro details. And the complete journey from seed to finish. 💙🌿 ──────────────────────── 🎬 A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK — SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT REPORT! And now, a little teaser... Some of you might have noticed a few photographs that look a little different from the usual plant and macro photography. That's intentional. I've included a small behind-the-scenes preview of the dried flowers. Just enough to give everyone a glimpse of what is coming next. Because the next report will take us into another part of the journey. We'll be looking at the dried buds, giving them their own attention and documenting the next stage of this girl's story. I don't want to reveal everything just yet. 😂💙 Let's leave a little something for the next chapter! But I thought it would be nice to give everyone a small preview rather than keeping all those photographs hidden until the next update. So consider this a little appetizer. The main course is coming. 🌸📸✨ ──────────────────────── 🔬 WHY ALL THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MATTER One thing I really want to highlight is that this project isn't only about growing different plants. It's also about documenting them. And documentation doesn't have to stop at the usual full-plant photographs. We can explore different photographic techniques. We can experiment with macro photography. We can look at the roots. We can photograph the flowers at different stages. We can use focus stacking to reveal details that a normal photograph cannot capture clearly. And we can preserve those observations for later comparison. That's why I enjoy combining the grow diaries with the photography side of the project. The plants give us the subject. The camera gives us another way to explore it. And sometimes the results are absolutely fascinating. This Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has given us a lovely collection to look back on. 💙📸🔬 ──────────────────────── 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS — A COLOURFUL GOODBYE And here we are. Week 15. Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B. Our compact girl. The one who always seemed perfectly comfortable taking the scenic route. 😂💙 She finished a little more colourfully than her sister, giving us another beautiful example of how individual phenotypes can express themselves differently even when sharing the same general conditions. And this final collection of photographs gives us plenty to appreciate. Beautiful flowers. Colourful details. Trichomes. Resin-covered surfaces. Delicate structures. Unexpected little visitors. Root photography. And a whole lot of macro work that takes us into a world we normally wouldn't see. We also have a small preview of the dried flowers, because her journey isn't quite finished here. There's another chapter coming. And I want to give that chapter the same attention. For now, I simply want to appreciate what this girl has given us. From a small seed under a 12/12 schedule to this beautiful final expression. She didn't need to become the tallest plant in the room. She didn't need to be the fastest. She didn't need to look exactly like her sister. She simply needed to be herself. And she was. Same room. Same general conditions. Same cultivar. Two sisters. Two different stories. That's the 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌱🌸 Thank you, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B, for another beautiful chapter. You may have taken the scenic route, but you certainly made it worth the journey. And now... Let's get those dried-bud photographs ready. 😂💙 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ADVENTURE A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore and document these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure and being part of the journey. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that expanded our lighting ecosystem. 💡🙏 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for the technology and environmental control supporting the room behind the scenes. And a big thank you to everyone following the project on GrowDiaries. Your comments, questions, observations and support make these diaries what they are. A special thank you as well to everyone joining us in the DogDoctorOfficial Discord community. The grow diaries are only one part of this adventure. The conversations, shared knowledge, photography, experiments and friendships are what make the whole community special. If you're not already part of it, come and join us! Discord: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial And, of course, thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at the photographs. Especially the macro ones. 😂🔬💙 ──────────────────────── 💚 GROWERS LOVE, MY FRIENDS! That's another beautiful chapter completed in the 8×8 Adventure. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has finished her journey with her own character, her own colours and her own individual expression. Now we have the photographs, the observations and the memories to look back on. And the next chapter? The dried flowers are waiting. So stay tuned, because we're not finished exploring this little lady just yet. Until then, keep growing, keep observing, keep experimenting, and never forget to appreciate the little details. Sometimes the most interesting things are hiding right in front of our eyes. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚💙 See you in the next chapter of the 8×8 jungle... where every phenotype has a story, every photograph reveals another detail, and there's always something new to discover. LET'S GROW! 💙🌸🔬

Another super terpy tasty baby strain💜 Rockdense buds

So these girls have started to explode , they were one of the first ones to get into their new home , so they are LOVING life right now. The goal for this week : Attach all shoots to the tomato cage , - get them ready for flower 🌹🌹🌺!! I'm still working on getting a better set up for pictures, although they aren't in the best spot for pictures they are EXTREMELY happy with they lighting !!! position. Find these gorgeous genetics at: https://greenpointseeds.com/ Find all about the nutrients that fuel this grow So I was just putting a note in their that when I was doing the video the temperature the leaves were slightly wilted . This was just do to a temperature.

...and here I am, at the end of this fantastic journey, with so much knowledge I have got in this process, including regarding myself! Fantastic!! I harvested one week early because I got some issues with mold! Thank you people for helping me when I got into some trouble hahaha Love you all! :-) Peace and freedom!

This grow was all about learning the process of hydroponics. Needles to say It is not as easy as it looks and takes a lot of time to set up and so... But along the way with help from several growmies it came to a unexpected result. 227 gram dry weight of good quality cannabis. This result ,I'm very happy ,has so much room for improvement that I can't wait for the next grow. I like to thank Royal Queen Seeds for sending me these awesome genetics, I suspect this is a big part of the result, the freebies and a lot of weed. Ofcourse I couldn't wait for the cure and started smoking. Man this stuff is sticky!! The smell is already hard to resist. The taste could be better,no cure yet, Very fresh but you smell and taste the potential. Being a long time haze smoker the effect is not exactly my thing but at night after dinner with a cup of coffee that's more what this is. Being a older person the hardest part of this contest is this damn diarie. Still find it difficult to find my ways. How many times I have to do this over 😤 I will grow this stuff again , never was a big fan of autoflowers but this outcome made me a believer. The starting plugs that came with these seeds are from now on a absolute must have! You see the difference . I cleaned the Aquafarm and it's ready for the other strain "Legendary OG Punch", that's now inside the growplug. Unfortunately to late for a full grow to be in competition but will make a diarie never the less.

Today marks week 8 of veg! For my vision with this plant I plant on letting her recover from her defoliation within the nexts 2 weeks. Then maybe a light defoliation and making the switch to 12/12. Things have been going well for this plant, as you may know she struggled at first! But now shes adapted to the nutrients well and feeding program im feeding everyother day! Water inbetween! Im also not giving the plant a lot of water making sure I do not over water the plant! Learning over here! Ive been enjoy playing and traning the plant getting her to grow big and wide and thick!!! Its been super fun! Im so ready to kick things into bloom the next couple weeks! Much love & happy growing! Lets Go GUAVA SLUSHY

Hay un par de ellas del centro con carencia de calcio, pero para la fecha que estamos nada preocupante, la semana que viene seguramente empiece lavando raíces para que lleguen bien limpias
