🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno B | Week 4 Nine Fingers of Perfection If her sister impressed me this week, Pheno B absolutely stole the spotlight. This is exactly why I love documenting each phenotype individually. Two plants, grown from the same pack of seeds, living in the same room, drinking the same nutrients, receiving the same light and environmental conditions… yet expressing themselves in completely different ways. And this lady decided to make an entrance. The first thing that catches my eye isn’t her height or even her branching… It’s those magnificent nine-finger fan leaves. Large, perfectly formed, beautifully symmetrical, and reaching toward the light like solar panels engineered by nature itself. Every time I walk into the room, I find myself stopping for a second just to admire them. Sometimes the simplest details become the most beautiful part of the journey. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Week four has been all about momentum. The root system is clearly well established now, allowing the plant to shift its energy into vigorous vegetative growth. Every branch is becoming thicker, every internode stronger, and the overall structure feels incredibly balanced. Compared to last week, she’s noticeably fuller while still maintaining excellent spacing between growth sites. The canopy is beginning to spread naturally, making future training easier with every passing day. One characteristic that really stands out is her calmness. She simply looks comfortable. No unnecessary stretching. No signs of stress. No complaints. Just healthy, steady growth. ⸻ 🌿 Those Incredible Nine-Finger Leaves I have to dedicate a section to these because… honestly… they deserve it. Those enormous nine-finger fan leaves are simply gorgeous. Wide blades. Perfect symmetry. Strong petioles. Beautiful texture. Deep, healthy green colour. Each leaf is functioning like a giant solar panel, collecting every possible photon from the Future of Grow LEDs and converting it into energy for explosive growth. They’re not just beautiful to look at—they’re a fantastic indication that the plant is photosynthesizing efficiently and building the energy reserves she’ll need once flowering really begins. Sometimes growers become obsessed with removing leaves too early. Personally, I look at leaves like these and think… “Why would I remove one of the plant’s biggest energy factories?” For now, they’re staying exactly where nature intended. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training continues to remain gentle and patient. Instead of heavy manipulation, I’m allowing the plant to dictate the pace while simply guiding branches into better positions using Low Stress Training. Large fan leaves are carefully tucked whenever necessary, exposing developing shoots underneath without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. It’s amazing how quickly the lower branches respond once they receive just a little more light. Each adjustment is small, but together they slowly create a flatter, more productive canopy that should pay dividends later in flower. Sometimes less really is more. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains exactly where the plant wants it. Current solution: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Adjusted to: * pH 6.1 * EC 1.35 mS/cm The plant continues responding beautifully, with healthy new growth appearing daily and no indication that any adjustments are needed. When the leaves tell you they’re happy, the smartest decision is often to simply keep doing what you’re doing. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running remarkably well considering the outside temperatures. Current environment: • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C Although daytime temperatures remain relatively high, stable irrigation, consistent humidity, healthy root development and continuous airflow are allowing the entire room to thrive. It’s another reminder that plants respond to the complete environment, not just a single number on a thermometer. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Forward Over the coming week I’ll continue opening the canopy through gentle leaf tucking while allowing those side branches to establish themselves before the flowering stretch begins. If she continues growing with this kind of balance and vigour, I expect a beautifully structured plant with excellent light penetration and multiple strong flowering sites. And if those nine-finger leaves are any indication… She’s only just getting started. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Every week this experiment becomes more interesting. Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed removes many of the variables associated with long vegetative periods and allows each genotype to reveal its natural behaviour much earlier. Some plants stretch. Some remain compact. Some develop incredible branching. And then you find a phenotype like this one that immediately captures your attention with extraordinary foliage. That’s exactly why I wanted to document every phenotype separately. No two plants tell the same story, even when every variable around them remains identical. For me, that’s where the real magic of growing begins. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a heartfelt thank you to everyone following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, discovered the diary recently, leave encouraging comments, ask questions, share advice, or simply enjoy watching these plants evolve each week… thank you. Every visit, every conversation, and every bit of support helps make this project even more rewarding. I’d also like to thank the GrowDiaries community and platform for giving growers from around the world a place to document, learn, and inspire one another. Special thanks to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the outstanding Godfather OG genetics. 💜 Plagron — for the reliable nutrition that keeps these plants thriving from week to week. 💡 Future of Grow — for delivering the powerful lighting that fuels every stage of development. And finally… Thank you for joining me on this 8×8 journey. Every phenotype teaches us something new, and sharing those lessons with this community is one of the most rewarding parts of the entire experience. Until next week’s update… Growers Love and keep growing, keep learning, and never stop appreciating the little details—sometimes they have nine perfect fingers. 🌿💚
