Getting heavy, so tying girls up, stacking nicely 👌💪. Lowering A+B gradually. 2 x mothers are getting extra feed than the 6 cuttings & are slurping all that extra Shogun goodness up fast. EC in and out stable. Starting week 6 with a PhD plain water flush.

Smooth week - final harvest. Plant 5 was a surprisingly quick trim :)

Harvested on the 25th of December, wet trimmed and dried for about a week. In curing since then.

Start of week 3

She's growing to be cute and fuzzy so far. Not expecting her to be any bigger but to get fat buds from now on.

This is the end of this journey with my first grow and it turned out pretty good for an newbie grower like me, i let the plant cure properly also to get the maximum out of the terps 😋 i'm really happy with the grow and will continue to grow more and more 😈

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

My cat died this morning !! It was my painkiller with weed when the disease was breaking my balls !!! His name was RICK and his Sister named MORTIE. Rick was the sweetest cat of the world. apparently he had an autoimmune disease which took him away. he was 4 years old. RIP my RICK

Only water in this plant, i made a good soil, i wont need of nutrients for a long way, first time trying a bonsai, any help is welcome. Peace✌️

day 43 - 25/12/2025 - Week 7. The canopy is really bulking and becoming fat as hell! gonna be interesting to see how it all turns out in the end. we still have many weeks to go! wanna make sure to build a-lot of rich amber resin, so we can make some good sleep aid. 🌞 had to feedings a little too close to each other, which might have made me burn a few tips.. but well mistakes do happen, looks like all the girls are taking it anyway, but i will be more gentle. did a little late defoliation at day 44. to help airflow and bulking

Coming along nicely seems to take longer to bloom than most Autos maybe 11-13 weeks but looks like it will be worth it. Buds are gong to be many not sure how big they will be but looking like they will be huge.

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/19: Looks like the FIM job didn't take on one of them..but she's got perfect symmetry. WIll probably have to just top her again next week...gonna be a tall one I think. Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-

Barneys Farm is a hit for me. Gorilla Glue Gelato is gonna be fire. About. 7 weeks till harvest.

The plants were so crowded I decided to put them into a Larger tent to allow some light to the lower bud sites and to help lower the humidity amongst the plants. I'm sure they will love the extra space. The light has now been raised 20cm (20cm taller tent) Allowing me to turn out right up which is 45000 lux in the centre right below it. I will up the bloom to 2ml/l this coming week.

Dealing with a heavy heat wave. Try to do my best cooling the girls but temp rise up to 31 degrees:( most of the time I keep on 28 degrees. the girls so far are fine. As usual I give them twice ph6 water and the third with bio nova nutrients half of the recommended amount

Good week same as last time couple more tears, some more major then others. But the original first snap seems to be healed so im confident with tapping they would heal fast. Going to be cutting for clones because i want to flip into flower ASAP going ti transplant into 5gallon first. Also ordering a new LED. Amazon led did okay for the budget but its time to see what i can really do! Very excited 🤠

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 ❄️ Dark, Frosty & Moving Fast Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this girl... She's shining. 💚 Every phenotype has something that makes it recognizable. Something that, after enough weeks of watching them develop, becomes part of their identity. With Frosted Guava Pheno B, I think I've finally found hers. That green. That incredibly deep, rich, dark green. It's one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to become the biggest. But she has developed into a beautiful, compact, extremely healthy-looking flowering plant with an appearance that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. And right now? She's moving. She's developing quickly. The flowers are progressing. The resin is becoming more obvious. And the whole plant looks like she's very happy with the direction she's taking. So this week... the spotlight belongs to her. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. Different genetics and phenotypes. One growing environment. One general philosophy. And an awful lot of personality. The project is being run under a 12/12 light schedule from seed, allowing each plant to reveal its natural architecture without giving them an extended traditional vegetative period. And this is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. Because even when plants share the same genetic line, they don't necessarily tell the same story. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build enormous central flowers. Some distribute their flowers differently. Some become monsters. Some become elegant. And some... become very, very dark green Frosted Guavas. 😂💚 🌿 Look at That Green Let's start with the obvious. Look at her foliage. That colour is beautiful. Deep. Dark. Rich. Healthy-looking. The leaves have become one of the defining visual characteristics of this phenotype. And when you put that dark foliage next to the developing flowers, the contrast is fantastic. The white pistils stand out. The developing resin catches the light. The flowers appear almost brighter because they're surrounded by that deep green background. It's a beautiful combination. And I honestly really like this plant. There are plants you admire because they're enormous. There are plants you admire because they're unusual. And then there are plants where you simply look at them and think: "Damn... that's a beautiful plant." Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of those for me. 🌸 The Flowers Are Moving Fast The biggest difference I'm noticing this week is the speed of development. She's moving. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined, with more structure appearing throughout the developing buds. The calyxes are becoming more obvious. The pistils are still beautifully prominent. And the resin continues making its presence known. Looking through the photographs, you can see how much is happening across the plant. She's not sitting still. She's building. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. There is still plenty of development ahead, but the direction is becoming increasingly clear. She's a flower builder. And she's getting on with the job. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Starting to Look Frosted The name continues making more sense every week. The flowers are carrying increasingly visible resin, particularly around the developing calyxes and sugar leaves. And when you get close with the camera... that's when this plant really becomes interesting. The individual flowers have so much detail. White pistils crossing over one another. Calyxes stacking and expanding. Tiny sugar leaves surrounding the developing structures. And that little sparkle beginning to appear everywhere. This is exactly why I love photographing these plants. From a distance, they're simply beautiful flowering plants. Up close... they become another world. 👀 A Little Foxtailing? I can see a little bit of foxtailing beginning to appear in some of the flowers. And honestly? I'm not losing sleep over it. 😂 It's there. I'm seeing it. I'm documenting it. But I'm also looking at the entire plant. And the entire plant looks fantastic. The flowers are developing. The foliage is beautiful. The structure is healthy-looking. The plant is progressing quickly. So I'm not going to turn one characteristic into the entire story of the plant. This is phenotype observation. Sometimes a plant shows you a particular expression. You document it. You watch how it develops. And you let the plant finish telling you what that expression means. For now... I'm simply curious. Let's see where she takes it. ✂️ After Last Week's Cleanup Last week we gave her a selective cleanup. We removed foliage that had become unnecessary, opened some areas of the canopy and cleaned some of the lower growth. And importantly, we didn't try to strip everything. There was no reason to. Healthy leaves remained. The productive structure remained. And now we're watching how she responds. This week, I'm not looking to chase her with the scissors again. She's doing exactly what I want her to do: grow. The cleanup has been done. The room has been cleaned. The canopy has been organized. Now we let the plant work. Sometimes the best intervention after making a change... is to stop intervening and observe the result. 🌿 Small Plant. Absolutely Not a Small Plant. One thing that continues to amuse me about this phenotype is the difference between her physical size and her personality. At approximately 108 cm, she's considerably more compact than some of the other girls in the room. But she doesn't feel small. She has presence. She has flowers. She has structure. And she's becoming increasingly impressive every week. That's another lesson the 8×8 keeps teaching me. Height doesn't tell you everything. A shorter plant can still have an enormous personality. A compact plant can still produce an impressive flowering structure. And a plant doesn't need to reach the ceiling to deserve the spotlight. Frosted Guava Pheno B certainly doesn't. ☀️ Eating Photons The lighting environment continues to provide plenty of energy for this stage. The Future of Grow Black Series LED remains the main overhead light source, with Lumiflora contributing additional illumination into the lower canopy. And this girl is clearly making use of what she's receiving. Light goes in. The plant does its biological magic. And week after week... we see the result. More structure. More flowers. More resin. More development. This is one of the reasons I love having different phenotypes in the same room. You can give them essentially the same environment... and then watch how differently they use it. Frosted Guava Pheno B has found her own rhythm. And I really like her rhythm. 💧 Feeding & Environment The feeding program remains consistent with the flowering strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current recorded parameters: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 108 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 72% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ Recorded EC/TDS: ~2.0 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h At this point in the cycle, stability remains the priority. The plant is moving well. The flowers are developing. The foliage remains remarkably dark and vigorous. So there is no reason to start changing things simply for the sake of changing them. 🌬️ Keeping an Eye on the Canopy With flowering progressing and the canopy continuing to develop, airflow and environmental consistency remain important. This is another reason I liked the cleanup we performed last week. Not because fewer leaves automatically means a better plant. It doesn't. But because thoughtful canopy management can help keep the structure organized as the flowers continue developing. And now that she's cleaned up? I'm happy to leave her alone. Let the remaining leaves work. Let the flowers develop. Let the plant show us what she wants to become. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's gallery really captures her personality. The full-plant photographs show the structure. The closer photographs show the flowers. And the macro-style views reveal the details that make this phenotype special. The deep green foliage. The white pistils. The developing calyxes. The increasing resin. And those little signs of foxtailing appearing here and there. Everything together creates a plant that looks very much like herself now. And that's something I love about reaching this stage of a grow. Earlier in the cycle, you're asking: "What is this plant going to be?" Eventually you stop asking. You start saying: "Ah... this is who she is." And I think we're getting there with Frosted Guava Pheno B. 🔬 Phenotype Spotlight — The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe her in a few words right now: Compact. Dark green. Frosty. Fast. Beautiful. That's her. Her sister has her own personality. The other Frosted Guava phenotypes have their own expressions. But this girl? She's becoming very easy to recognize. And that's the beauty of phenotype hunting. You're not necessarily looking for one "perfect" plant. You're looking for differences. You're looking for expressions. You're looking for those little characteristics that make one plant stand out from another. And sometimes... you find a phenotype whose biggest characteristic is simply that you really, really enjoy looking at her. That's Frosted Guava B for me. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now I'm very curious. Because she's moving quickly. The flowers are developing beautifully. The resin is increasing. The structure is becoming more defined. And that little bit of foxtailing gives us another characteristic to watch. Will it continue? Will it settle? Will the flowers simply keep stacking and swelling around it? We'll see. I'm not going to write the ending yet. That's the plant's job. For now, I'm just going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And keep letting this beautiful girl show us what she has. 💚 Final Thoughts — She Deserves the Spotlight Frosted Guava Pheno B started this adventure as the smaller, quieter sister. And look at her now. She's still compact. She's still different. But quiet? Not anymore. She's shining. That deep, deep green foliage is absolutely beautiful. The flowers are moving quickly. The calyxes are developing. The white pistils are everywhere. The frost is increasing. And the whole plant has developed an identity of its own. Yes, I can see a little foxtailing. And no... I don't mind. 😂 Because overall? She's outstanding. She's healthy-looking. She's balanced. She's beautiful. And she's giving me exactly what I love most about this project: something interesting to watch. Every week she gives me another little detail. Another change. Another reason to stop and look. And that's what the 8×8 Adventure is all about. Not just growing plants. Watching plants become themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing exactly that. And I have to admit... I really like who she's becoming. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this dark green beauty shine. 💚❄️🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension to this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every grower following along. It all makes this project more enjoyable. Frosted Guava Pheno B may not be the biggest girl in the room... But she's certainly becoming one of the girls I enjoy watching the most. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. A little frost. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. Let's see where she goes from here. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚❄️

Starting to see the benefits from Topping last week definitely, when I first topped I panicked and thought what have I done. Also when I defoliated I did some more research. All In all I’m learning as each week goes by! Increased the ballast wattage to 1000W and terminated the Kush Berry also as it was interfering with my other 4 ( Temperature and space). Next week I’m going to add my SCRoG net. This is all new to me and I’ve never trained a plant before so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks everyone
