The Hobbit Hole – Woche 10 Woche 10 ist geschafft – und langsam wird es im Hobbit Hole richtig spannend. Die drei Damen gehen inzwischen deutlich unterschiedliche Wege. Cinderella steht weiterhin sehr vital da und trägt inzwischen eine ganze Reihe schöner, frostiger Blüten. Unter dem Mikroskop zeigt sie überwiegend milchige Trichome, allerdings auch noch einige klare Köpfe und bislang kaum Amber. Sie bekommt also definitiv noch Zeit. Purple Punch gefällt mir diese Woche besonders gut. Die Blüten werden zunehmend kompakter und die dunklen bzw. violetten Farbtöne kommen immer stärker durch. Auch hier zeigt das Mikroskop hauptsächlich milchige Trichome mit noch einigen klaren Köpfen. Wirklich viel Amber ist noch nicht vorhanden – auch sie darf weiterreifen. Gelato bleibt dagegen die deutlich reifste der drei. Die Pflanze geht sichtbar in ihren herbstlichen Fade und unter dem Mikroskop sind inzwischen neben vielen milchigen Trichomen bereits eindeutig bernsteinfarbene Köpfe zu finden. Trotzdem werde ich sie noch nicht ernten. Ich möchte sie bewusst etwas weiter ausreifen lassen und bin gespannt, wie sich das Trichombild in den nächsten Tagen verändert. Besonders erfreulich nach dem wechselhaften Outdoor-Wetter: Alle Pflanzen sind vollständig abgetrocknet und weiterhin ohne sichtbare Anzeichen von Bud Rot oder anderer Fäulnis. Das bleibt jetzt natürlich einer der wichtigsten Punkte bei den täglichen Kontrollen. Ab jetzt entscheidet weniger der Kalender und immer mehr das Mikroskop. Die nächsten Tage könnten vor allem bei der Gelato interessant werden. 🇬🇧 English Week 10 is complete – and things are getting really exciting in the Hobbit Hole now. The three ladies are clearly starting to follow different paths. Cinderella still looks very healthy and has developed plenty of beautiful, frosty flowers. Under the microscope, most trichomes are cloudy, although there are still quite a few clear heads and hardly any amber so far. She definitely needs more time. Purple Punch is one of my favorites this week. Her flowers are becoming increasingly compact and the darker, purple shades are showing more and more. The microscope also shows mainly cloudy trichomes with some clear ones remaining. There isn’t much amber yet, so she will continue to ripen as well. Gelato, on the other hand, is clearly the most mature of the three. The plant is visibly entering her autumn fade, and under the microscope I can now see plenty of cloudy trichomes together with the first clearly amber heads. I’m still not harvesting her yet. I deliberately want to let her mature a little further and see how the trichome ratio develops over the coming days. The best news after the changeable outdoor weather: all plants have dried completely and there are still no visible signs of bud rot or other fungal problems. This will remain one of the most important things to check every day from now on. From this point forward, the calendar becomes less important and the microscope takes over. The next few days could be especially interesting for Gelato.

well, at the end of week 4 i think she continue racing with her sisters and we definitely have a winner ! 😃, she has bud sites all over her, healthy, strong and smelly girl , i think i will get maybe more 6 to 9 grams just with topping, she responded very well to it. took one pot out because one little seed germinated with the root upwards , I tried to put it on the right path but without success, she died later... learned that they are so fu***ng sensitive in this fase.

The plants are looking really healthy, I've been defoliating here and there to get the light to penetrate to the lower leaves and branches. They have started to bush out from topping them last week. I started using Mammoth P Microbes halfway through last week. They seem to have grown a little quicker since adding them. The plants are still being fed 4 times a day at 1 minute each feeding. No signs yet of which is female and male, I am planning on pulling all the males once they show signs.

Granddaddy plant in week 6 of flowering. She is in full bloom. Bugs Issue: There are some old caterpillar holes on leaves but I think bugs situation improved. The smell from plant dropped last week after first round of insecticide spray. Smell is like plant crying out in pain after being attack by bugs. I sprayed spinetoram one more time in the beginning of the week. Late in the week, I used a USB microscope to check. And there was a Protoss tank patrolling a leaf on plant 2. On the bigger plant, I just saw carcass of dead mites strewn around. Prepping plant 2 for an early harvest. I am always happy on harvest day. Trim her and let the pot dry out for a couple of days. And plan to spray my garden with third and last round of spinetoram. Next week, I am going back to microbes. Plant 1 is doing fine. She is bigger and handles pests better. Her flowering cola’s also smell nicer. Plant 1 phenotypes is much better than plant 2. And I removed some leaves. This past week, I fed both plants with half strength potassium based orchid fertilizer. Plant 2 shows slight tip burn. So, this is the feeding limit. Plant 1 leaves are nice and green. A few leave started to yellow but I am not bothered by that issue at late flowering stage. Next week I’ll just give plant 1 a dose of yogurt and start pre-harvest preparations. Trimming, flushing, and all that. Transplanted a clone to 25-liters basket. She started to put our pistil. This is one issue with Mycorrhiza. It over stimulate the root. And root tips put our too much cytokinin that signals flowering.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 7 | Stealing the Spotlight Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! This week belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno B. Some plants quietly move through each stage without drawing too much attention. Others somehow make you stop every time you walk into the room. This girl has become one of those plants. She isn't the biggest in the room, nor is she trying to compete for height alone, but everything about her feels... right. She's growing with elegance. Every internode is spaced beautifully, every branch has found its place, and from the base of the plant all the way to the main top, the leaf formation is simply gorgeous. She's entering the fourth week of flower exactly where she should be. Not behind. Not ahead. Just perfectly on schedule. If plants carried calendars, she'd be checking every box. 🌿 A Phenotype Finding Her Rhythm One of the goals of this project is seeing how twelve different cultivars express themselves while sharing exactly the same environment. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is becoming one of my favourites to observe because she's making everything look effortless. Standing around 130 cm tall, she has developed into a beautiful, elegant plant with long, healthy branches and excellent internodal spacing. The open structure allows light to reach deep into the canopy while maintaining fantastic airflow between the branches. It's the kind of architecture growers hope for but can't always create through training alone. Sometimes genetics simply do the work for you. 🌼 Buds Beginning to Tell the Story This week the flowers have taken another noticeable step forward. Every growing tip is now covered with fresh white pistils, and the individual bud sites are beginning to connect into what will soon become long, stacked colas. The stretch is gradually slowing down as more energy is redirected into flower production. The main top has become more defined, while the secondary branches are quickly catching up, creating a very balanced canopy from top to bottom. She's no longer just showing flowers. She's beginning to build them. Watching this transition happen is always one of my favourite parts of the flowering cycle. 🌱 Letting Genetics Shine Very little intervention has been needed this week. Apart from a little leaf tucking and allowing the branches to spread naturally, she's been left to do what she does best. The AutoPot system continues doing an outstanding job, delivering consistent moisture and nutrition around the clock. It's amazing how relaxed plants become when they never have to wonder when their next drink is coming. Combined with the stable environment inside the room, this phenotype has been able to focus entirely on growing instead of recovering from unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best technique is simply creating the perfect conditions and stepping back. 🍽️ Feeding This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus whenever required. The nutrient increase made this week was applied to the entire reservoir, and Chem Brûlée Pheno B has responded exactly as hoped, maintaining beautiful colour and healthy, vigorous growth throughout the canopy. 🌡️ Environment Stable conditions continue making all the difference. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent allows every phenotype to express its full potential without unnecessary environmental stress. The room is working exactly as intended, and this plant is making the most of it. 📸 Behind This Week's Photos Looking through this week's photographs, it's impossible not to appreciate how naturally elegant this phenotype has become. The close-up images highlight fresh clusters of white pistils forming at every node, while the wider shots reveal a beautifully symmetrical plant with outstanding spacing from the bottom branches all the way to the top cola. One of my favourite details is the leaf structure. Every fan leaf seems perfectly positioned without overcrowding the canopy, creating a plant that's not only healthy but incredibly photogenic. Sometimes a plant doesn't need to shout to stand out. She simply grows beautifully. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the vertical stretch to come to an end as Chem Brûlée Pheno B shifts her full attention toward flower production. The individual bud sites should begin merging together, the pistil count will continue increasing, and the first real signs of bud stacking should become much more noticeable. The plan remains exactly the same. Maintain the environment. Keep the AutoPot reservoir stable. Continue observing. And let this beautiful phenotype keep telling her own story. So far... She's absolutely stealing the spotlight. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy following along, I'm incredibly grateful to have you sharing this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge and inspire one another. 🍮 Zamnesia for the outstanding Chem Brûlée genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting from seed to harvest. 🌿 LumiFlora for helping illuminate the lower canopy and ensuring every potential flower site receives the light it deserves. 🌡️ TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment around the clock. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation effortless and allowing these plants to grow at their own natural rhythm. And finally... Thank you to every grower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and curious visitor who follows these diaries week after week. Your encouragement and conversations make sharing this journey incredibly rewarding. I'll see you all next week as Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues showing exactly why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. Sometimes perfection isn't about being the biggest plant in the room... It's about growing exactly as nature intended. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Well, sadly had to harvest a week early due to some bud rot. Gave everything a good wash with baking soda, lemon juice and double rinsed. Hang dried for 10 days, paper bag to sweat for 2 days, then straight to grove bags. Full weight dried, just over 1lb. I fimmed so much in anticipation of rot, so while the buds were smaller there was a LOT. Test smoke was amazing, shocked how smooth it was with zero cure, packed a punch to! I expect the humidity to rise a bit in the grove bags over a few days, hoping 60% range. I mostly make FECO for gummies with everclear extraction, so excuse the less then tight trim, trichomes are trichomes! Ended up snipping the second haul 10 days after first, still going strong, but very wet, dont expect it to last much longer. Never going back to synthetic nutes, sticking with organic living soil from this point on! Got Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower on order for next year, plan on doing a 16 cola manifold with some LST. Will cut the trunk and let the root mass decay over winter, will mulch leaves and compost over it all until next years plant is ready to go in around April. Another year down! Happy growing everyone!

Ok so this here is my lady she has a great structure and over all height to use .. The whole plant has been growing fast both in width and height out of it. The grow has been organic and and feeding it with @miicrobialmass a biological additive that brings the soil around the roots alive .. we are going to have a monster on out hands..

This strain is awesome, 2nd time i grow this strain and close to one of my favorites. I grew 2 plants and we have one very sweet plant with nice fruity touches, the other plant reminds me of the sour gumballs i ate when i was a little kid! Nice sticky and extremely hard buds, these buds exploded in THC! Totally recommended, a true gem 💎 of Dutch Passion seeds

9. Woche Apple Strudel Auto Fastbuds zeigt in Woche 9 ihre ganze Power. Sie wächst sehr solide und hat neben Mango Cherry Runtz Auto Fastbuds den üppigsten Budbesatz. Ich werde diese Woche einen Lollipop bei ihr machen und ein bisschen ausdünnen, damit sie ordentlich Masse in der oberen Etage aufbauen kann 😊💚🍎🍏🥧 Edit 2 Tage später: Ich habe bei ihr unten rum nomma ordentlich was weggenommen, das war jetzt der letzte Lollipop denke ich. Oben rum habe ich die Blätter ein bisschen ausgedünnt, damit alle Budsites genug Licht bekommen. Ich werde erstmal bei 75% Lichtintensität bleiben, mit dem zusätzlichen Co2 und der Möglichkeit den 2x die Woche Dünger zu geben, erleichtert den Nährstoffbedarf ungemein 😌💚🍎🍏🥧😄

Week 11 - Day 1 : Pinched branches from subject 1 and 2. take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 2 : Restday, changed water schedule to water-water-feed, watering my plants with 4 Liters per plant every 3th day. Week 11 - Day 3 : Pinched lower branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 4 : Pinches branches of subjects 2 and 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 5 : Pinches branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think, had my first harvest of ladybugs in the garden and released them on my plants, noticed that I have very little spider mites on my plants. Posted week 1 to 9 on my diary. Week 11 - Day 6 : Restday, woke up to subject 5 being damaged, What could have caused this? Too heavy branches? Maybe an animal that accidentally broke the branch and took off. Week 11 - Day 7 : Pinches branches of subject 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 12 - Day 1 : Restday, Watered my plants 4 Liters per plant with nutrients, added Big Bud. Week 12 - Day 2 : Pinches branches of subject 1,2 and 3. Week 12 - Day 3 : Restday. Week 12 - Day 4 : Restday, Watered my plants 4 Liters per plant. Week 12 - Day 5 : Supercropped subjects 1,2 and 3. In my opinion, the canopy of 1,2, and 3 were growing vertically again so I wanted to make it more even, I tied them down to 2 nodes lower after bending the mainstem in a 90-degree angle. Week 12 - Day 6 : Unknown information Week 12 - Day 7 : Unknown information

Aug 17: great plant. Hit 30 C today, and there was a two minute hail storm late in the day. It sounded very impressive on the roof, but I had moved the pot plants up against the house and they were fine. The rest of the garden took a mild beating. Aug 18: rained all day. Aug 20: sunny yesterday and most of today. Watered with some Kekp extract in the evening. Flowering is progressing and we’re still in mid August so things are looking good. Aug 22: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm far red light to put them into dark mode. Aug 23: looking good for the end of another diary week. This Gorilla Cookies is definitely the fastest flowering of the four plants I’m growing this year.
