๐ŸŒฑ Folder 10A | Guava Auto Week 2 โ€“ Compact Beauty, Unlimited Potential Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure, where every plant tells its own story. This diary follows Frosted Guava Auto 10A, one of the most compact ladies in the room and, without question, one of the most beautifully structured plants weโ€™ve seen so far. Growing under exactly the same environmental conditions as every other cultivar in this project allows us to appreciate something fascinating: genetics truly have their own personalities. While some plants race upwards searching for the light, Guava has chosen a completely different strategy. She builds. Every node arrives tightly stacked. Every branch develops with purpose. Every new leaf seems larger than the last. Rather than stretching, she is constructing the foundation of what promises to become an incredibly dense canopy. Sometimes the strongest plants arenโ€™t the tallest ones. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Growing Conditions As with every plant inside the 8ร—8 Adventure, Guava Auto benefits from a carefully controlled environment designed to provide consistency throughout every stage of development. Environmental Conditions * ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 27ยฐC * ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 25ยฐC * ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 55% * ๐ŸŒฑ Root Zone Temperature: 21ยฐC * ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20ยฐC * โšก EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: 666 ppm * ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Maintaining identical conditions across the entire room allows each phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern without environmental variables influencing the comparison. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Feeding Program This week Guava continued receiving the complete Plagron Terra nutrition program. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow โ€” 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots โ€” 1 ml/L * Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L * pH Plus โ€” when required * Lemon Kick โ€” when required The emphasis remains on supporting vigorous root expansion while encouraging steady vegetative growth without forcing excessive vertical stretch. Healthy roots build healthy harvests. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ Plant Development This has been one of my favourite plants to watch this week. From the very beginning she displayed extremely tight internodal spacing, giving her a naturally compact appearance. Instead of reaching upward, she concentrated on strengthening her central stem while producing large, healthy fan leaves that quickly shaded the lower growth. That was the perfect opportunity to introduce gentle leaf tucking together with a small amount of low-stress training. The transformation over only a few days was remarkable. Branches that had previously been hidden beneath the canopy suddenly found the light. The centre of the plant opened beautifully. Airflow improved. Future flowering sites became visible almost immediately. By the final photographs of the week, Guava looked like an entirely different plant. Still compactโ€”but now balanced, open and full of potential. Her architecture is becoming exactly what you hope to see before the transition into flowering. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Training Progress One of the biggest advantages of documenting these plants individually is seeing how small adjustments influence their development. This week wasnโ€™t about bending the plant dramatically. It was about working with her natural shape. A few carefully positioned leaves were tucked away. The canopy opened naturally. The lower branches responded almost immediately by accelerating their growth toward the light. Nothing aggressive. Nothing forced. Just gentle guidance allowing the plant to express its own structure. Sometimes the simplest techniques produce the biggest improvements. โธป ๐Ÿ“ธ Behind This Weekโ€™s Photos The camera really tells the story this week. Early images highlight a beautifully thick central stem with exceptionally short internodal spacingโ€”a strong indication of healthy growth and excellent light intensity. As the week progresses, the overhead shots begin revealing something even more exciting: symmetry. Every branch appears evenly distributed around the main stem, while the large fan leaves frame the developing centre almost perfectly. The close-up photographs of the canopy are especially rewarding. Hidden shoots are beginning to emerge from every node, quietly preparing to become future flowering branches. Itโ€™s one of those weeks where growth isnโ€™t measured by height. Itโ€™s measured by potential. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ Looking Ahead The coming week should be very exciting for Guava Auto. With the canopy now opened through gentle LST and leaf tucking, I expect the secondary branches to accelerate rapidly and begin competing with the main stem. Rather than producing one dominant leader, she already hints at becoming a naturally bushy plant capable of supporting multiple flowering sites across an even canopy. If she continues developing at this pace, she may become one of the most productive compact plants in the entire room. She isnโ€™t trying to be the tallest. Sheโ€™s quietly preparing to become one of the fullest. โธป ๐Ÿ’š Thank You As always, thank you for taking the time to follow another chapter of this adventure. Whether youโ€™re an experienced cultivator, someone growing their very first plant, a curious observer, a supporter, a skeptic, a silent reader, or someone who simply enjoys watching these journals unfoldโ€”you are all part of this journey. Thank you to every grower who shares knowledge, asks questions, offers advice and helps make this community stronger every single day. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from every corner of the world can document their work, inspire one another and continue learning together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the complete Terra feeding program used throughout this project. Their consistency and reliability allow each genetic to express its true potential under stable conditions. To Zamnesia and the breeders behind these incredible geneticsโ€”thank you for the years of work that make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own character, and discovering those differences is one of the greatest joys of cultivation. And finallyโ€ฆ Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries. The supporters. The critics. The believers. The skeptics. The friends Iโ€™ve met along the way. Every comment, every question and every conversation makes this project more meaningful. The 8ร—8 Adventure continuesโ€ฆ One phenotype. One lesson. One week at a time. Growers Love ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Today is the second day this week with sunshine. The days before were rainy and cold. All plants are doing fine, but I feel, they should be quicker. But then again I am probably spoiled in that regard, by growing indoor. One of the ICE (3) isn't happy somehow and rolling her leaves, but her green and growth matches the others, so I ignore it. The plants received nothing this week, except naturally falling rain water. I have some plant manure cooking, it should be ready in 10-14 days. The garden is full of sweet peas, so i am using those. I also made some compost tea, which I will give the plants tomorrow morning. If there is interest, I will cover my next batch of manure/tea with some pictures. The Passion #1 look like they have bounced back from the topping. In one or two weeks I will top them again.

4/8 - They are doing great. PPFD at 800. Debating if I want to do CO2 this grow, because I could easily get 1000 PPFD out of this light. That means adding a dehumidifier to keep a sealed environment, but don't think there's enough of a cost benefit. Might just add more far red at lights on and lights off to try and get a little more vegetative stretch before I switch over to 12/12. Clock is ticking. Mother-in-law shows up 6/15, and I'll want it chopped by then. 4/8 - on further calculation, I'm switching to flower today. Never switched this early before, but we'll see how it goes, eh? 4/9 - prepping for vacation. Bought new 10 gal Roughneck storage container, mixed new nute mix 2:1:2. EC 1.40 with 0.3 tap water. 11ml of pH down to get PH from 6.4 to 5.8. Ditching the auto fill. Too high risk for flooding without flare fittings. Don't trust cheap-ass quick connect push fittings. 4/10 - turned off "seedling vpd mode" which kept humidity artificially high. Turned on 2nd bank of LED lights, so system is pulling about 370W with lights on, still significantly dimmed down. Turned on light cooling circ fan, which is a sealed aluminum labyrinth tied to two 4"vents. Although, almost all the heat this lamp generates is from radiation, not thermal loss of the LEDs, so the heat sink is barely warm. Lights up to 16" over canopy to allow growth while on vacation. Ppfd at canopy 800. Room temp 81, humidity 73. Auto water time is 30 sec per pot.

Day 92. Girls are runing to the end, foxtailing on one of Tangies is crazy, but bud is dence and i let her to go. Now StrawberryCough have loads space, she loved nutes, leaves are a bit too dark for me, but she is flowering and its fun ! Made on her Fims , tried to understand how deep you need to cut, so she will have some strange grow 4sure. Day 94. Early Tangie became TheRealFoxtailQueen ;)) thats it, i dont want to smoke tails, so she was choped aswell, sad , was hoping she will be my biggest girl from first 8... Was puting ice as a test on Early bigger FastDiesel, so part of roots stayed wet, its easy to spot, that those cones in airpots really works great. Day 95. Eve. Maybe Fatty could hang for 12 hours more, but i am leaving house for a bit and dont want them to overdry. Thats why tops are in seperate jar, not because it looks better ;) inside bigger tops, even when i trim them hard ( i could leave longer colas) still stemp is fat and keeps more mosture, that way its easier to cure them, humidity is more even trough each jar. So now to the main point .... Weight ..... And the winner is ...... ;))) 69.65 !!!! Never hoped that much from her, my eye scales are way off ;)) i think thats the winner, only late FastDiesel or StrawberryCough can beat. Bud dried 1-2 days too early for perfectness, but heating is on and its really dry weather in the house and dehumidifier triggers electrics ;)) i am flat out on max usage now ;) I am in a choping spree ;) Slimmer Fat Tangie falls aswell, she smells crazy, dont know is it smart to dry like i do now, neighbours should smell it 4sure ;)) Smells is fruity from distance and citrus from close up ... Tangie in the best by smell and not so sad by quantity ;)) All girls running well, really happy and that makes me happy. The purpose of Theraphy Room - works !!!! Day 96. Every day new champ ? ;)) Early Big FastDiesel very sticky, not rock hard, but hard buds in total of 73.61 !!! That strain i have in marks for summer, its a killer ;) if you smoke it, all neibourghood knows about it, maybe even all small town ;))) Smaller Early FastDiesel is choped today,she easy could make two more weeks and gane weight, but her choped sister is too strong, cant have couch lock weed all day ...

Welcome to the start of week 2 ( 4 days of actual plant life the rest were germ days ) These ladies are kicking it strong 47#1 is already working on her second set and her sister is far behind working on hers as well ! So far so good for these test strains Im excited to see these ladies in full swing veg mode !! Thanks for everyones support who come in daily and weekly to check out the diaries ! Keep on keeping on friends !! Day#8 Watered half cup each full line up , 233ppm / distilled water . Day#9 Responding well to watering , 47#1 working on her second set coming in really well same with #2 . Day#10 Wont let me upload the pictures but shes growing at the rate of my GG#4 things are going well Day#11 They are growing really well , going to up the dose of Voodoo and B52 next week ! Day#12 Just growing along nicely , Going to be adding some Piranha to next feeding. Day#13 They're just cruising along , I have my suspicion that there might be some GG#4 in here haha Day#14 Watered 1 cup each no cal mag this time added piranha 135 PPM/Distilled water . Week review : Things are going well they're growing at a good pace plants are developing second node . Happy Growing! -V.G

Day 92: I half expected to be still saying this but they are still only showing milky trichromes in the main. I have trimmed and started to dry the #1 L.o.s girl a few days ago as she looked ready visually. She smells amazing close up and was a pleasure to trim. I do think she could have gone another week in hindsight but it will be interesting to see the difference in the end result too. #2 is pushing new white pistil sets out still and her trichs are generally milky with a few still clear globes around , no signs of amber anywhere in her so far so at least a week I think. #3 The poorly girl has a few amber trichs knocking about so I think she will be taken down in the next few days. Despite her looking line rubbish the entire grow , she is producing some nice solid nugs. Their smell is so sweet and sickly that after the cure they will be so fruity to smoke. This week should see them finish perfectly. peace and blessings.

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48โ€ in height at maturity.

๐Ÿ’™ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 ๐ŸŒฟ Blueberry Muffin โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’š Small, Beautiful & Moving at Her Own Damn Speed Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Still small. Still compact. Still beautiful. And still moving... at approximately the speed of a snail on holiday. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But you know what? I absolutely love her for it. Because every time I look at this girl, I see exactly the same thing: A beautiful little plant that simply refuses to rush. She's not trying to catch up with anybody. She's not trying to become a giant. She's not trying to compete with the bigger girls around her. She's just doing what Blueberry Muffin Pheno B apparently decided she wanted to do. Slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ The 8ร—8 Adventure โ€” Same Room, Different Rhythms For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different expressions. That's the beauty of this experiment. The environment gives everyone the same general opportunity. The genetics decide what each plant does with that opportunity. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's made her decision very clearly. Stay small. Stay compact. Take your time. Build beautiful flowers. And apparently... make the grower wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Fair enough. I'm patient. 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’š The Little One Keeps Doing Her Thing This girl hasn't suddenly decided to change personality. And I wouldn't want her to. She's still one of the smallest and most compact plants in the room. Around 75 cm. That's it. She's basically looking at all the girls around her and saying: "Yeah... I'm good down here." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? She is good. The plant looks beautiful. The structure is compact. The flowers are developing. The overall appearance remains healthy and vibrant. She's simply progressing much more slowly than many of her neighbours. And that's okay. Slow doesn't mean bad. Slow doesn't mean unsuccessful. Slow means... slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly what this phenotype is showing 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”€ ๐ŸŒธ Beautiful Flower Formation If you stop looking at her height for a moment... that's when she becomes really interesting. Because the flower formation is beautiful. The buds are developing within that compact framework, and there's something very satisfying about watching them slowly become more defined. She's not throwing huge amounts of vertical growth at us. She's not creating enormous distances between flowering sites. Instead, she's building within herself. Compact little structures. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing density. And plenty of character. This is another one of those plants where I keep thinking: "Okay... you're taking your sweet fucking time." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But then I look at the flowers and think: "Fine. I'll wait." ๐Ÿ˜‚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”€ ๐ŸŒ Slow As Fuck โ€” But Beautiful Let's just say it honestly. She's slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Compared with many of the other girls in this room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is moving at a completely different rhythm. Some of the plants have already progressed much further. Some are showing much more obvious signs of maturity. Some are beginning to fade. Others are already looking much closer to their final form. And then there's this little girl... Still producing. Still developing. Still carrying plenty of fresh white hairs. Still looking like she has time. A lot of time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But here's the thing: She's not struggling. She's not looking unhappy. She's not looking like something is wrong. She's simply developing slowly. And that's a very important distinction. Her phenotype is telling us how she wants to move through this stage. So instead of trying to force her to catch up... we let her be herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? Still So Many White Hairs One of the things that really stands out when I compare her with some of the other girls in the room is the number of white pistils she's still carrying. There are a lot of them. ??? While several other plants are showing much more mature-looking flowers and increasingly changing pistil colours, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B still has plenty of fresh white hairs throughout her flowers. And to me, that's another visual reminder that she's simply not at the same point in the journey as some of her neighbours. She's still building. Still developing. Still adding to those flowers. And that's why I'm not looking at her and thinking: "Why aren't you further along?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Okay... you're just not done yet." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š That's perfectly fine. The plant gets the final vote. 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 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment continues under the upgraded Future of Grow setup. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's lighting ecosystem, giving us significantly more available lighting capability than we had before. After the initial increase pushed the PPFD higher than we wanted, we brought the output down to approximately 59% from the plug. We're still working around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally changing depending on plant height and position. And our little Blueberry Muffin? She's still making use of those photons. Just... slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Some plants take those photons and turn them into enormous structures. Some turn them into height. Some turn them into massive branches. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B appears to have decided: "I'll take my time and build my little flowers." And that's exactly what we're 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”€ โ˜€๏ธ Same Photons. Different Interpretation. This is one of the things I never get tired of seeing in the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same lights. Same general environment. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. And yet... completely different results. The plants are essentially interpreting the same opportunity through their own genetic expression. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is giving us one of the more compact and slower expressions. And honestly? That's valuable information. Because if we had only one plant, we might look at her and think: "This is Blueberry Muffin." But because we're following individual phenotypes, we can see: "This is what THIS phenotype does." And that's much more interesting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฅฅ A Small Nutritional Adjustment For The Whole Room We also made a small adjustment to the base nutrition this week. Across the entire room, Terra Bloom has been reduced slightly from: ๐ŸŒธ 2.3 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒธ 2.0 ml/L This brought the solution strength down slightly as well. Current EC: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.0 ml/L This is a small adjustment across the room rather than a plant-specific change. And again... we're not trying to force the plants into a particular schedule. We're simply adjusting the overall program as the room progresses. Blueberry Muffin gets the same opportunity as everyone else. Then she decides what to do with 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’ง Irrigation โ€” Still Consistent Current irrigation is around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And just like everything else in this room, we're watching the plants rather than trying to make them all behave identically. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B isn't consuming the room at the same pace as some of the larger girls. She's small. She's compact. She's developing slowly. And that's reflected in her overall behaviour. So we continue observing. Keep things consistent. And let her tell us if she wants something different. 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 12 โ€” Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 12 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 75 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approx. lighting output: ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.04 โšก EC: 2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25.2ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation: ~1.4 L per plant / 24h The room continues moving forward with the same overall environmental strategy. And our little Blueberry Muffin continues moving at... well... Blueberry Muffin speed. 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Compact As They Come I keep coming back to this because it's genuinely one of the most interesting characteristics of this phenotype. She's tiny. She's compact. And honestly? She couldn't be much smaller without becoming a bonsai. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But within that small structure, she's building a beautiful flowering plant. That's what makes her fascinating. The size is obvious. The development is less obvious if you only look at her from a distance. But spend some time looking closely... and there's a lot happening. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming more defined. The pistils are progressing. And she's slowly becoming more complete. She's simply doing it at her own pace. 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 This Is Why I Love Individual Phenotype Diaries Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is another perfect example of why I wanted to document the plants individually. If I only showed the entire room, she'd disappear among the bigger plants. But when you isolate her... you see the personality. You see the compact architecture. You see the flower formation. You see the development. You see the white pistils. You see the differences. And those differences are the experiment. We're not trying to make her behave like her sister. We're not trying to make her behave like the larger girls. We're simply documenting what she does. And she's doing something very clearly. She's taking her sweet time. 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”€ โœ‚๏ธ Still No Need To Interfere And once again... there's really no reason for me to go in there and start doing things just because I have scissors. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ The structure is already established. The plant is compact. The flowers are developing. The foliage is doing its job. She's not asking for anything. So I'm not going to manufacture work. This stage is about observation. Not constant manipulation. We're providing the environment. We're monitoring. We're responding if necessary. And otherwise... we let her grow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  The Plant Gets The Final Vote This principle becomes even more important with a phenotype like this. If I looked only at the calendar, I could easily think: "Week 12. Surely she should be further along." But the calendar doesn't grow the plant. The plant grows the plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is telling us: "Not yet." She's still producing fresh white hairs. She's still developing. She's still building. She's still green. She's still beautiful. So... not yet. And that's okay. We don't need to force the story to fit a calendar. We let the plant write 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”ฌ Slow Development Is Still Development I think this is worth saying because sometimes growers can get caught up in comparing plants. You look across the room and see another girl that is clearly further along. Then another. Then another. And suddenly you're wondering why your little plant isn't doing the same. But that's exactly why we're running this experiment. They're not supposed to be identical. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is showing us a slower flowering progression. And that's fascinating. Because the question isn't: "Why isn't she like them?" The question is: "What will she become if we let her continue?" That's what I want to discover. And honestly... I'm very curious. 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’š One Of The Cutest Girls In The Room I'm just going to say it. She's adorable. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š There's something about this tiny little plant sitting there among all these larger flowering girls that makes me smile. She's not trying to compete. She's not demanding attention. She doesn't need to. She's just quietly doing her thing. And when you get close enough to see the flowers... you realize she's actually quite beautiful. Compact little structure. Beautiful flowering formation. Lots of fresh pistils. Increasing detail. And a whole lot of personality. She's the little girl of the room. And I absolutely love her. 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 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š I don't think she's anywhere near ready to finish yet. At least visually, she still looks like she has plenty of development ahead. The amount of white pistils she's carrying compared with many of the other plants tells us that her flowers are still progressing. And that's exactly what I'm interested in seeing. How much more will those flowers develop? How much more density will she build? How will the resin continue to evolve? When will the plant finally start showing us those stronger signs of maturity? I don't know. And I'm perfectly happy not knowing. Because that's the fun. Let's let her surprise 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”€ โœจ Final Thoughts โ€” Let The Little Girl Shine Week 12. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still doing exactly what Blueberry Muffin Pheno B does. She's small. She's compact. She's beautiful. She's slow. Very slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But she's growing. And that's what matters. The flower formation is beautiful. The plant is healthy-looking. The structure is compact. The development is continuing. And there are still plenty of white hairs telling us that this girl isn't finished writing her story. She's moving at her own speed. And while that speed may sometimes make me laugh... "Come on, girl!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ I wouldn't change her. Because the whole point of this adventure is to discover these differences. This is her. This is what she's showing us. And I'm genuinely curious to see where that takes her. So we're not going to rush her. We're not going to force her. We're not going to compare her unfairly with the faster girls. We're simply going to give her what she needs... and let her keep doing her thing. Water. Nutrition. Light. Environment. Time. And a little bit of love. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ That's all she needs from us right now. And she can take care of the rest. So let's give this little beauty the spotlight. Let's appreciate the compactness. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate all those beautiful white hairs. Let's appreciate the fact that she's still moving forward. Slow as fuck... but forward. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And honestly? That's good enough for me. Keep growing, little girl. Keep taking your time. Keep building those flowers. And eventually... show us what you've been working on all this time. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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 A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these different individual phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure and for giving us the tools to adjust the program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that we're testing in this 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent watching these girls develop. It all becomes part of the story. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has certainly given us one of the more charming stories in this room. She's tiny. She's compact. She's slow. She's beautiful. She's still full of white pistils. And she's still moving. So we're going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep learning. And let this little girl write her story in her own time. Because sometimes... the slowest plant is the one that teaches you the most about patience. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. We're still watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š
