A tad late, but on Dec 20th we started flower! The pics and video are all from dec 20. To kick it off we did a small feed (1tbsp) of veg nutrients and over the next few weeks will transition to flower blend. So far she's taken well to the training and looks very strong overall. Cheers til next time -Dj Sunstone

Glad to have gotten what I did. Small harvest. But it wasn't about that for me. I done a huge number of crops to hone in what traits I like. And now I pick with much more by looking at the genes and what went into making it.

Commina soon

Got rid of the root rot. She is doing amazing growing rapidly.

I thought i was going too hard so I brought PPM down to 246 diluted with some rain water PH to 5.8. Leaves were coming out weird not sure if it was from the fimming i did or idk...But i did go ahead and topped her on all sites that i could top and gave her a haircut to expose those sites that were lacking exposure to light from the fan leaves blocking direct contact from the lights. Tied her down to maximize all angles of light exposure. She is pretty tough from all the shit i been putting her through to not fuck up this DWC

Noticed some leaves have been flipping over. I recalibrated my ph pen and flushed with water. In fact this begins the final week of flower. Flush is happening as we speak. Started off with draining the res, then top flushed with straight h2o. Drained water again and refilled. Added h2o2 to cleanup any bad bacteria, as i will be reusing all the rocks for the next grow.

Still working on my canopy. I did some defoliation in order to encourage growth at the bud sites and improve circulation. I have 3-4 weeks until her sister is mature enough to flower. I took a gamble and germinated another seed two weeks ago because the one I originally planted with her turned out to be male. I hope it will be mature enough to produce a decent yield. Even though it will only have been growing for 4 weeks. By that time I expect most of the bud sites on the older plant to have grown through the trellis, and I should have a nice even canopy. The second plant will just be grown as is with very little training. I don't want to slow its growth at all.

Day 57 - Starting week 9 today and everything is definitely looking and smelling great. Gave her the first feeding of the week today and will start monitoring the trichs here soon but she’s definitely still got some time left. Day 58 - All is looking good and nothing big to update but a few pictures to keep track of the buds fattening. Day 59 - Man she’s getting fat! Measure one bids width and it’s close to 3.5” wide and she’s still got a couple weeks still to go! Gave her a good drink of pH’d water today. Day 61 - Gave the girl the final feeding of the week today and she’s doing nothing but get fat. Did a quick check of the runoff pH and it’s coming out just as it’s going in, 6.6. Can not wait for this girl to finish. Day 63 - Ending week 9 and this thing is a beast, at least for me. She’s is fat and happy and just counting down till chop time but pistils are still white and she’s still fattening up so thinking another 2 weeks or so.

Goodday growmies, Fire is growing slowly but very well..the nights are very cold (chilly) and the weather is still a bit unstable (temp range from 15-24C @day and 7-11C @night..) But on my garden table its always nice, when the clouds are gone, standing in the sun..😎👍 the pix are made in very early sunlight.. when its still chilly thats why her leaves are a bit curled down(i watered her yesterday, she is just waking up..😳) those will straighten up today, i promise 😇 (as u can see, leaves arealready curling in.. just by standing in sun for 15 minutes) I have sprayed her with neemoil-mix on 15-05 (8ml neemoil, with a bit of detergent so it sticks better(3 squeezes or something) and with 0.7 ltr luke warm water) Bc there are a lot of parasites on the loose..😡✊ a LOT of small spiders in my garden too i have to remove rags and strings a few times a day..or else she will be webbed in in a day!👹 outdoor growing is always challenging bc just have to share it all with nature.. (sigh) But i am @ home all day.. so lets GET IT ON!✊ happy growing for all 👊

Week 5 ----- Day 29 ----- Fed 1100ppm at 6.4ph 23 Liters Everything's good. No real updates. Front right Glookies stretched a bit but has stopped. Plants are perfect, couldn't ask for a better beginning to week 5. *Update* Easy day, end of light cycle. 3 new pics. ---- Day 30 ----- Some fun photos today for this easy day. Humidity in basement FINALLY hit 40% this morning. Within 5 days it should be 30-35% residual basement and 45% tent for a good residual humidity. The hand shot has my fingers and palm forward from the bud tip, the bud tip is actually past my hand but it's nearly impossible to get a perfect shot with my arm in the tent and my other one far out trying to take a photo i can't see. The Tropicanna Popcorn nugs are already bigger than my thumb... gonna be fun in 4 weeks to see bud finishing sizes Wedding Cake - Cherry HubbaBubba smell Tropicanna Glookies - Pink Bubblegum with a strawberry like hint peaking through. Tomorrow is feeding. Today is just emptying water from buckets from dehumidifier. *knock on wood* it's easy streak from here on out... 35~ days roughly left. here we grow!! *** Update *** Took some measurements. Wedding cake is monstrous already. Upto 1.5 inch wide, 14inch long (it was longer than the 12" ruler). Popcorn nugs on Tropicanna Glookies already 1inch wide 3 inch long at the top. Beaaautiful. Slow and steady from here on out. ----- Day 31 ----- Beautiful as usual. Fattening up nicely. 1200 ppm 6.4 pH 23 Liters If anyone is wondering why I switched to Blackstrap Molasses I put up the Nutrition Facts.. in 20 grams you have carbohydrates, potassium, Calcium, Iron, B6 Vitamin, Magnesium, Zinc.. and that's only the "significant" nutrients (Human based for that picture) It also contains micro traces of copper and more. pH is quite nice too, with the nutrient regiment i'm on, it finishes itself at 6.4pH so I don't have to manipulate it with pH up/down... Loving everything so far. Humidity in basement was 39% today, SO damn close. Tent closed at lights on (highest residual humidity point) was at 48% ... woo hoo 3% more to go!!! ------ Day 32 ------ Wow. Wedding Cake larger buds I can't even wrap my hand around.. These buds are going to be mooooonstrous. Humidity was under 40% in basement, tent was 48% this morning. Great news for me. Easy day, pretty much standard operating procedures from here on out.. feed, drain dehumidifier, strengthen stems by shaking plants, open/close tents... rinse repeat. Both plants are amazing, great genetics so far regarding bud structure building/plant size. ----- Day 33 ----- 47.5% residual humidity Fed at 1150ppm 6.4pH 23L Everything's perfect, 30~ days left. ----- Day 34 ----- 48% humidity in tent, i'm a happy camper. Everything's perfect. Bulk has started, front right Tropicanna Glookies had double in thickness and diameter top buds of most stems. Wedding cake 14 inch stem I've named Big Bertha. Excited to watch her fatten up on the couch so-to-speak. I'm now on autopilot. Fed yesterday while half asleep, didn't even remember doing it. Thank god I take pics of ppm/pH before every feeding for data. One more feeding this week before week 6 happens tomorrow. This week Liquid Koolbloom ends, KoolBloom Dry begins for maximum bulk on week 6 first feeding (2 days into week 6) ----- Day 35 ----- Last day of week 5!!! Fed at 1150ppm 6.4ph 23L Plants are perfect, humidity is great. Smell is RAMPED up now. Strong candy weed smell.

Hello and thank you for stopping by my diary and checking it out. This week I have only watered when dry with a pH of 6.5. My last watering was spaced out about 6 days. I did some low-stress training this week a little later than I wanted to but better late than never. This next coming week I will be doing my first top dress as she has just been living off of the pre-charged time released nutrients that I mixed into her coco before germinating her. I do have very slight gnat larvae issues that the plant is showing via small white spots on the edges and one tip of a big fan leaf. I noticed these splotches on very few leaves but I was still curious on what was going on so I started scratching at the surface of the coco and with my decent vision I could see tiny tiny gnat larvae squirming around in my coco. So I have watered with a deluded neem oil solution and yellow sticky traps are on their way my shop was currently out of them when I stopped by. Other than that small issue I'd say everything is cruising along nice and easy with the purple punch auto from Barney's farm! She's definitely filling out and I am not seeing any signs of pre-flowers quite yet so she still got a ways to go I am so looking forward to this one! I'll see you next week! ☺️

End of day 41 flower and will be flushing both girls on day 42 flower. Overall the buds don’t seem as fat as it should be but hopefully during the flush they should gain some weight. I took a bunch of clones so those will be going to flower soon and now I have a better understanding of how to treat these girls during the flowering stage. Also popped two Blueberry seeds so I will have a journal on that soon.

Uau Day 49 bloom d94 from seed Washing machine looks beautiful .2 diferent phenos untopped is more cheesy and the small one topped is much more kushy .. i love the smell from both but cheesy is more intense.. They keep fatting up ...ill start my flush next week...

Last week of flowering for our banana purple Punch from fastbuds 420 This week only water was given to the girls, as at the end of week we are harvesting the plants! Very nice smells comes out of the tent, cant wait to try all of the fastbuds strains i have in the tent 🤗🤗🤗

Gelato#33 is looking weird. There are some yellow and dark brown spots on the under leaves, and the upper leaves looks very dry. She is receiving the same treatment as the others, maybe the south american weather is not correct for her? Thanks.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 9 | The Queen Is Getting Loud Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week, our demanding Queen has something very interesting to say. She's still demanding. She's still not giving me that deep, lush green that I personally love seeing. She's still one of the girls that makes me pay a little more attention. But... she's growing. She's building. She's developing beautiful flowers. And there's one thing she has absolutely no intention of keeping quiet about anymore: her smell. 👃🔥 This girl is becoming loud. Very loud. In fact, at the moment, she's carrying the strongest aroma I've found anywhere in the tent. And that has my attention. 👑 A Quick Recap — Our Demanding Queen If you've been following Godfather OG Pheno A from the beginning, you'll already know that she has never exactly been the easiest girl in the room. She's one of the tallest plants in the 8×8 Adventure, sitting around 169 cm, and she's consistently been one of the more demanding phenotypes when it comes to nutrition and overall attention. But that's also what makes her fascinating. Because we're not giving her a special environment. We're not building a separate feeding programme just for her. We're not changing the rules of the experiment because one plant asks for something different. We have twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants sharing the same ecosystem. They receive the same general treatment. They share the same room. They share the same environmental conditions. They share the same reservoir. And then... they show us who they are. Godfather OG Pheno A is showing us that she is a Queen with an appetite. 😂👑 🌿 Still Growing. Still Building. The most important thing this week? She's still moving forward. She's still developing. She's still putting on flower. And when I look at her within the tent, she has that presence that makes her difficult to ignore. She's tall. She's commanding. She's reaching through the canopy. And those flowering sites are becoming increasingly impressive. The plant isn't sitting still waiting for us to figure her out. She's busy. She's building. She's doing exactly what a plant in this stage should be doing: developing her flowers. And honestly, that's what I care about most. 🍃 That Green... Now, I'm not going to pretend. She's not wearing the green I like. 😂 I love seeing that deep, rich, lush green across the canopy. Godfather OG Pheno A isn't quite giving me that right now. Her foliage is noticeably lighter in places, and because I know how demanding she has been throughout this run, it's something I'm continuing to observe carefully. But there's a very important distinction here. Not looking exactly how I want doesn't automatically mean she's failing. She's still growing. She's still flowering. She's still producing. She's still developing. And the flowers themselves are telling us a very different story from simply looking at the colour of the leaves. So I'm not going to panic. I'm not going to create a problem just because I don't like one particular shade of green. I'm going to keep watching the entire plant. Because the plant is always more than one leaf. 🌸 And Those Flowers... This is where she really starts getting interesting. Because despite everything I've just said about the foliage... look at the flowers. Beautiful. The flower structures are developing nicely, and the plant is continuing to build along those long branches. There's increasing definition. There's increasing resin development. There's plenty of fresh pistil growth. And there's a sense that she's gradually moving from the stretching and structural-building phase into the part of flowering where the flowers themselves become the main event. That's the transition I'm watching closely now. The plant has already built the framework. Now we're waiting to see what she does with it. And I have a feeling... she's going to have something to say about that. 👑 👃 The Loudest Girl in the Tent Now let's talk about the thing that really caught me this week. The smell. Oh... She's loud. 😂🔥 At the moment, Godfather OG Pheno A is producing the strongest aroma I've encountered in the tent so far. And when you're surrounded by more than twenty plants, that's saying something. Every time I get around her, she's basically announcing: "I'm here." No introduction necessary. No invitation required. She has arrived. And this is exactly the kind of thing I love discovering as flowering progresses. Because early in the run, you can look at a plant and make all sorts of guesses. Then suddenly, somewhere along the way, the plant starts revealing another part of its identity. For Godfather OG Pheno A... that identity is becoming increasingly aromatic. She's loud. She's noticeable. And she's making me extremely curious about where this profile is going to take us as the flowers continue to mature. I'm not going to try to name the final aromatic profile yet. It's still developing. But I can tell you one thing: this girl wants to be noticed. 👑👃 🔥 The Interesting Part About This Phenotype This is where the whole phenotype-hunting concept becomes so much fun. We're watching plants under essentially the same conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same general environment. And yet Godfather OG Pheno A is behaving like a completely different character. She's tall. She's demanding. She's lighter in colour than I'd prefer. And she's becoming the loudest plant in the tent. That's a personality. And I love it. Because we're not trying to force her to become something else. We're trying to discover what she already is. The Experiment Continues One of the hardest things about running a room like this is accepting that you can't make every plant happy in exactly the same way. If you're growing one plant, you can react to every little difference. But when you're running twelve genetics and more than twenty plants, the philosophy changes. We establish a consistent baseline. We provide the environment. We observe the response. And then we learn. Some plants thrive immediately. Some demand more. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some become incredibly aromatic. And some... become the Queen of the room. Godfather OG Pheno A definitely seems determined to claim that crown. 👑😂 💧 Feeding & Environment The room continues following the shared feeding strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required And the environment remains consistent: 🌡️ Day – 29°C 🌙 Night – 25°C 💧 RH – 60% ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💨 CO₂ – 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h Again, the consistency is important. We're not changing the entire room around one phenotype. We're watching how she adapts to the same world as everybody else. And so far... she's adapting. 📸 A Small Apology About This Week's Photos Now... I have to make a confession. 😂 Somehow, somewhere along the way... I lost Godfather OG Pheno A's individual photographs for this week. Yes. The Queen has officially fired her photographer. 👑📸😂 So unfortunately, this week's update doesn't have her usual individual photo collection. And I'm genuinely sorry about that. But I don't want that to stop us from documenting her journey. We're still sharing photographs from the wider ecosystem, and we're still sharing videos from inside the tent. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. And if you've been following the diary, you can go back through the previous weeks and use those updates to identify her position and structure in the room. The full-tent photographs and videos also give you the opportunity to see her within the ecosystem she shares with all the other girls. So while I don't have her usual close-ups this week... the Queen is absolutely still here. 👑🌱 And I promise I'll try not to lose her again. 😂 🌸 The Flowers Are Her Best Argument And perhaps that's what makes this week so interesting. If I only looked at the foliage, I might say: "Hmm... I'm not completely happy with this." But then I look at the flowers. And I think: "Okay, girl..." Because she's producing. She's building. She's developing beautiful structures. She's getting increasingly frosty. And she's becoming increasingly aromatic. So once again, the plant is reminding me not to judge one characteristic in isolation. The Queen may not be dressed in the greenest dress in the ballroom... but she's certainly wearing some beautiful flowers. 👑🌸 🔍 What Am I Watching? At this stage, there are a few things I'm particularly interested in. First: How much more will she bulk? She's already developing nicely, and there's still plenty of flowering time ahead. Second: Where is that aroma going? Because she's already the loudest girl in the tent. I'm extremely curious to see how that aromatic character develops as the flowers mature. And third: How will her foliage progress? I'm continuing to watch her colour and overall plant health without jumping to conclusions. The goal isn't to make her look perfect. The goal is to understand her. That's a very different thing. 🌱 She's Teaching Me Again And this is probably the biggest lesson Godfather OG Pheno A is giving me this week. Sometimes a plant can challenge you... while still rewarding you. She can demand more attention. She can look different from what you personally prefer. She can make you question what's happening. And at the same time... she can produce beautiful flowers. She can develop an incredible aroma. She can continue growing strongly. And she can make you excited to see what happens next. That's cultivation. That's phenotype hunting. And that's why I'm enjoying this run so much. 👑 The Queen Is Still Writing Her Story So, Week 9. Approximately 169 cm. Still demanding. Still developing. Still not the deepest green in the room. But... beautiful. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful structure. Increasing frost. And the strongest smell in the tent so far. She's not finished. She's not even close. And that's what makes this so exciting. I'm genuinely curious about what happened here. What exactly is hiding inside this phenotype? What will those flowers become? How far will that aroma develop? And what will she look like when she finally decides she's done stretching and puts everything she has into finishing those flowers? I don't know yet. And honestly... I love not knowing. Because that's why we're here. To find out. 🔮 Looking Ahead For the coming week, I'm expecting the focus to continue shifting toward flower development. 🌸 More bulk. ❄️ More visible resin. 👃 More aroma. 🌿 Continued observation of the foliage. 👑 And hopefully a little less drama from our demanding Queen. 😂 But I'm not making promises on that last one. She's been demanding from the beginning. She may have earned the right to continue. For now, we'll keep the environment consistent, keep observing her response, and allow her to continue telling us what she wants to become. No forcing. No unnecessary changes. Just observation, consistency and time. 💚 Let Her Shine I may have lost her individual photographs this week... but I certainly haven't lost sight of her. She's right there in the jungle. Standing tall. Growing strong. Making flowers. Getting frosty. And making enough noise with her aroma that you don't need a photograph to know she's there. 😂👃🔥 Godfather OG Pheno A may not be giving me the lush green I personally love. She may be one of the more demanding girls in the entire room. But she's also showing me something beautiful. She's adapting. She's developing. She's producing. And she's becoming increasingly interesting with every passing week. So let's give our Queen the spotlight she deserves. The photographs may have gone missing... but the Queen certainly hasn't. 👑💚 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to be one of the most fascinating growing experiences I've ever had. Twelve genetics. More than twenty plants. One shared environment. And an incredible collection of personalities developing right in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering the garden. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent. Thank you to LumiFlora for bringing additional light into the lower canopy. And finally... thank you to every single person following along. Whether you comment every week... whether you ask questions... whether you're learning... or whether you simply stop by to see what's happening inside this little jungle... thank you. 💚 I'm having an absolute blast with this run. Some days I honestly feel like Tarzan wandering around my own little jungle, checking on everybody, looking at flowers, taking photographs, discovering new smells and learning something new every time I walk through the tent. 😂🌴🌱 And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's one of the girls keeping me curious. She's demanding. She's different. She's loud. She's beautiful. And she's still writing her story. Growers Love, my friends. 👑💚🌱 See you next week, when hopefully the Queen and her photographer manage to reunite. 😂📸👑

This is my very first grow! I would love if anyone could feed me any tips or tricks to making this an easy and successful grow.

Super bien, están creciendo con mucho vigor. La alimentación se mantiene igual. No he tenido ningún contratiempo. Armario completamente cubierto. Cambiamos el ciclo de luz a 12-12. 👌
