🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 6 (Early Flower) 🌱 Flowers Are Taking Over One of the things I've enjoyed most about this 8×8 Adventure is watching every phenotype slowly reveal its own personality. Even though every plant shares the same environment, the same feeding schedule, and the same care, each one tells its own story. Frosted Guava Pheno A has become one of those plants that quietly earns your attention. She has never been the tallest plant in the room or the one demanding the spotlight. Instead, she has grown with remarkable balance, developing a beautiful natural structure that now serves as the perfect foundation for flower production. Last week marked her transition into flowering. This week, there's no longer any doubt. She's officially focused on building buds. 🌸 Week 6 – Bud Development Begins The stretch is now coming to an end, and the plant has begun redirecting her energy exactly where every grower hopes to see it. Flowers. Standing at approximately 101 cm, Frosted Guava has maintained a wonderfully compact yet well-proportioned structure. Every branch has found its place within the canopy, creating a plant that looks organized, balanced, and incredibly healthy from every angle. The small clusters of pistils that appeared last week have now developed into clearly defined bud sites. Each branch is beginning to stack flowers, and the canopy is starting to display that exciting early-flowering look where every top promises something special in the weeks ahead. The pace has changed. Instead of racing upward, she's quietly building outward. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌿 Canopy Development & Training The work invested during vegetative growth continues to pay dividends. Regular Low Stress Training, combined with simple leaf tucking whenever necessary, has allowed nearly every flowering site to receive excellent light exposure without forcing the plant into an unnatural shape. Looking across the canopy, it's easy to appreciate how evenly the branches have developed. The spacing between internodes remains ideal, giving each future cola enough room to mature while maintaining a full, productive canopy. Airflow continues moving freely throughout the plant, reducing shaded areas while allowing every branch to contribute equally to the final harvest. Sometimes less really is more. Rather than constantly correcting the plant, allowing her natural architecture to guide the training has produced a structure that feels effortless. 🌼 Flower Development This week the flowers have noticeably changed character. The bright white pistils continue multiplying across every branch, but now they're gathering into small clusters that clearly resemble the buds they'll soon become. Every day brings a little more volume. A few more calyxes. A few more pistils. A little more definition. It's still early, but the framework of every future cola is becoming easy to recognize. While resin production is only beginning to appear, there's already that familiar feeling every grower loves. The plant is entering the stage where everything starts happening faster. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be one of Frosted Guava's strongest qualities. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green color from the bottom of the canopy right through to the newest growth. Leaf posture remains excellent throughout the day, showing strong turgor and steady transpiration despite the warm summer conditions. The stems have continued thickening nicely, supporting the increasing weight that will soon come as flower production accelerates. Overall, she gives the impression of a plant that's completely comfortable in her environment. No signs of stress. No unnecessary drama. Just steady, confident growth. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation As flower production begins increasing, Frosted Guava has smoothly transitioned into a feeding program designed to support the demands of early bloom while maintaining healthy vegetative function. This week she's receiving: • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 The AutoPot system continues providing a stable and uninterrupted supply of water and nutrients, allowing the root system to remain active around the clock without experiencing repeated wet and dry cycles. Healthy roots continue supporting healthy flowers. 🌡️ Environment The environment remains remarkably stable, allowing every phenotype in the room to express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Despite the challenges that summer temperatures can bring, the room continues operating as a balanced ecosystem where strong airflow, consistent irrigation, and stable environmental control allow the plants to remain comfortable throughout the entire day. It's a reminder that consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing perfection. 👀 Looking Ahead The coming week should mark another exciting step in Frosted Guava's development. With the stretch nearly behind her, I expect almost all of her energy to shift toward flower production. Bud sites should begin thickening noticeably, individual flowers will continue joining together, and the first visible layer of trichomes should start appearing across the sugar leaves. This is the stage where the structure she's built over the past several weeks begins paying its rewards. The foundation is there. Now it's time to watch her fill it. 🙏 Final Thoughts Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A continues proving that a plant doesn't need to dominate the room to stand out. She has developed into one of the most balanced and elegant phenotypes in this entire project, combining healthy growth, excellent structure, and effortless flower development into a plant that's simply enjoyable to grow. Watching her evolve from a tiny seed into a beautifully formed flowering plant under a 12/12 From Seed schedule has been another reminder that every phenotype has its own pace and its own way of expressing itself. Some plants impress with size. Others impress with symmetry. Frosted Guava is quietly doing both in her own unique way, and I'm genuinely excited to see what she'll become over the coming weeks. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, comments, and support continue to make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

End of week 1. All 3 plants have their true leaves. The stems seem to be developing nicely but I was hoping for more leaf development. I still need to create more humidity. My exhaust fan still vents too much of it. I added a second camera and I hope to start adding some time lapse videos. Overall a good week! Still trying to learn my environment and tweak where I can!

This week went good. They are on day 16 as of this post, pics were taken on day 15. They filled out the net about 85%, some plants branched out more then other or were topped more so that is one thing my partner could work on. Cover crop didn't do too well for him as he let the medium dry out a little too much these last few days, and the middle section has yellowed up a bit due to being a little more hungry then the outside (mainly in the Mando). We will see how they finish the stretch and then we get to stacking and packing weight!

Light hits with around 850 - 900 PPFD. Terpwise its developing from that fruity smell to a real ripe Gelato Mint with fruits smell. I like it very much so far. Watering every 2 days.

Day 8 Flower (Day 50) The first day of the second week of flower and the strech is real. The right girl is getting pretty damn big and keeps on drinking a lot. I gave her another 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. On the other hand, the left girl drinks hardly anything, so I didn't need to water her. I also did some lollipopping today and got rid of a whole bunch of undergrowth. I saved some clones off the big girl but no clue what to do with them. We'll see what happens. Day 9 Flower (Day 51) Chill day today. All I did was to give each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and snap a few pics. Day 10 Flower (Day 52) Today I finally got around to re-organize the small tent to move the light as high up as possible to give the canopy some additional space. I moved the exhaust fan to outside the tent, so it was out of the way for the light, and then put the circulation fan below the canopy, blowing upward. Finally, I adjusted the light so it was reading about 900 PPFD in the center of the canopy. The left girl didn't need any water today, but the right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.2 water. Day 11 Flower (Day 53) They're back! The fungus gnats are back in the tent, although I'm not surprised, and let me tell you why. When the light for my tomatoes and peppers broke down, I had to move them so that they get some daylight. It is still cold here (the coldest May around these parts ever, I think), so they have to stay inside even though they usually would have moved outside long ago. The best place to keep them in my apartment is by the window in the same room as my grow tents. The last time I had gnats, I only had enough nematodes to treat my girls, but I didn't do the rest of the apartment even though I should have. So currently, my peppers and tomatoes all have a ton of gnats. Put plants with gnats in the same room as your grow, and it is only a matter of time before the gnats find their way into the tents. So yeah, it wasn't a surprise at all when I noticed the gnats in my tents some days ago. I put up some yellow sticky traps to deal with the adults and ordered more nematodes, enough to treat my girls, plus all other plants in my entire apartment. Twice. The nematodes arrived today, and I mixed up 10 million of them into 6 liters of water and gave each girl half at pH 6.5. That was it for today. Day 12 Flower (Day 54) Exhausting day today. I opened the tents, took pics, closed the tents. Phew! I think I need to lay down for a bit. Day 13 Flower (Day 55) Late last night I decided to supercrop the right girl to slow her down and get the canopy to even out. We're almost at the end of the second week of flower so this is the last training I will do besides some defoliation later on. I think I cropped around 10 branches or so. Today, most of the branches were already standing up again and she was VERY thirsty so I gave her 4.5 liters of pH 6.4 water. The left girl on the other hand didn't need any water. Day 14 Flower (Day 56) The last day of the second week of flower and the right girl is in flower. Early yet so still small and no smell, but they are there. The left girl is in flower as well but isn't as far along, but that isn't unexpected considering the different lights. The left girl is 68 cm tall (18 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 100 cm tall (23 cm increase in a week) but would have been even taller without super-cropping. I gave each girl three liters of pH 6.3 water and removed the tape from the right girl's broken branch. She looks fully healed, so I removed the supports as well, and she was looking great. However, thinking about it for a second, I put back one of the supports, just in case.

Zdarec, máme za sebou další týden, voda v nádrži mizí před očima. Růst a reakce na stress jsou výborné.Odrůdy od @SweetSeeds nikdy nezklamou.Stabilita a vitalita jsou super.Za další bych rád vypíchl hnojivo od BioTabs @Mia_BIOTABS , protože jsem očekával problémy v kokosu.Zatím jsem mile překvapen, uvidíme co na to květ. 🌼 Takový týden, spíše 2 to podržím ve vege. Growers, přeji vám hodně zdaru 🍀 PS:fotky se nepovedly 🙈

Explosive growth during the first week of flower, also turned the LED from 380 to 500w at a distance of 48cm. Only thing on my mind is when to defoliate, torn between doing it once now day 7 flower and again at day 21 or to wait until day 21 and do it all at once. Left the EC at 1.2 as they look happy.

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der fünften Blütewoche, ist kein Stretch mehr zu beobachten. Die Blütenbildung entwickelt sich prächtig und es wirkt, als hätte man überall wundervolle Inseln mit richtig schönen Buds. Die Pistillen bilden sich immer stärker aus. Insgesamt hat die Pflanze ein sehr großes und breitgefächertes Wuchsbild und wird insgesamt ziemlich groß. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind insgesamt etwas angepasst worden: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 19°C bis 20°C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 1,21 kPa👍 😎 PPFD: 830 mqm —————

- It's Wednesday, so that means it's haircut day. 😁 Not a moment too soon, she was getting shaggy really fast. Anyhow, she's in the bigger tent for the moment while I sort out seedlings in the smaller tent, but I'll move her back in another week or two once she's ready for the trellis.

What's up growmies, We reached the final stages...almost ready to cut. Its probably going to take an extra week compared to the Strawberry Cola. But the productions is maybe 30% more on this one. Veery long staked colas. Starting at the bottom of the plant all the way to the top. Sweet and fruity smells and drinking almost double the 💧 water compared to her neighbour. One more week of nutes and then another week with plain water is what she'll have probably. The root is a giant, white ball filling half the bucket space. I've used great white which from my experience is very very good. Doesn't perform miracles like Jesus though. The water temps in the reservoir needs to be in the correct range or else it almost always will develop phytium. If you can't keep the water cool ( 17/21ºC) you're better off with a steril system using H2O2. See you guys next week. Good grows

These beans have been taking a beating and she still is pulling threw and starting her stretch now as she is heading into the second week of flowering .. I like the smell of this one right now and the structure is good very open just needs buds to start forming up. These were part of the grower of the month contest a while back very good quality genetics ...cheers

Day 35 of flower and they're packing on weight. Looking good! Removed the scrog net to rotate the plants.
