Did a heavy feeding of casting / guano tea to support flower growth and address concerns about some early yellowing. Stacking up nicely tho. Realized I may have been under feeding a bit as I am getting used to using primarily organic inputs. These plants were vegging for a while as I was making that change so theyโ€™ve been along for the ride with me. My goal is to go all organic and phase out synthetics altogether. Everything I have down to my clones has had synthetic inputs at some point. I think these four are in a good place right now. Starting to fill out and plump up. Clipping off a few leaves here and there as they yellow out or if theyโ€™re starting to block the canopy.

Beginning of week 4 so far so good. The girls are reacting well to there training. Vita race from plagron is a game changer. They are super green and healthy everytime I feed them you see the difference.Did some defoliation. Nothing major just removed any leaf overlapping or blocking light to lower parts of the plant.

Comenzando semana 7 de estรกs nenas, aun las mantengo en 1L y hoy le hicimos su primera defoliaciรณn masiva, ahora a esperar que se recuperen para hacerle trasplante a maceta de 3,5L. La verdad no eh tenido muchos problema, todo sigue igual siguiendo el mismo orden de nutrientes, bacterias y hongos benรฉficos una vez por semana, enzimas ahora se las estoy dando dรญa por medio o cada 3 dรญa. Ya logramos sacar los primeros clones de la watermelon, punch y cookie y la thc bomb. la dss aun la tenemos tirando fuerza que no va mal pero no tenia espacio para mรกs clones. Saludos

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B The Big Mama Keeps Shining โ€“ Doing Nothing, Seeing Everything ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our beautiful Godfather OG Pheno B. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And honestly... I'm loving this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's building flowers. She's developing more and more character. And the funniest part? I'm barely doing anything to her. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is one of those weeks where the grower walks into the room, looks around, checks everything, looks at the plants again... and thinks: "Yep." ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's it. That's the job right now. Observe. Pay attention. See what is happening. Check whether anything is actually needed. And if nothing is needed... leave the plant alone. Because sometimes... doing nothing is actually doing something. And this Big Mama is proving that beautifully. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE BIG MAMA KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Godfather OG Pheno B continues to move quickly. She's not slowing down in the way that makes you think she's finished. She's evolving. She's developing. She's continuing to build her flowers and fill out the structure she's spent the entire grow creating. And when I look at her now compared with the earlier weeks... it's almost funny how much plant we're looking at. She has become a substantial girl. A proper Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's occupying her space. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without asking me to constantly reach into the canopy and change something. That's exactly where I want her. Healthy. Developing. Stable. And doing her thing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ BIG MAMA HAS CLAIMED HER SPACE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plants that quietly exist inside a tent. And then there are plants that seem to say: "Yes, this corner is mine." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Godfather OG Pheno B has definitely claimed her place. She's got presence. You notice her. You look across the room and she's there. Big structure. Beautiful flowering sites. Healthy foliage. Increasingly developed flowers. And that unmistakable Godfather OG personality we've been following throughout this entire journey. That's one of the things I love about running individual phenotypes. Eventually, you stop seeing just a plant with a label. You know who she is. You know her habits. You know her structure. You know her appetite. You know how she fills the space. And Pheno B? She's our Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this point, the flowers are becoming the main story. And they're speaking pretty loudly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ The flowering structures continue to develop. The buds are becoming more substantial. The pistils continue evolving. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the whole plant is gradually shifting from: "Building flowers" toward: "Developing what those flowers are going to become." That's one of my favourite stages. Because you can actually see the progression. You don't need to imagine what the plant might become. She's showing you. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us plenty. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž THE FROST IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The closer we look at this girl... the more there is to see. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ The resin continues becoming more noticeable across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is where the camera becomes such a beautiful tool. From a distance: "She's beautiful." Closer: "Whoa..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž The flowers have texture. The pistils weave through the developing structures. The trichomes begin creating that frosted appearance. And suddenly you realize just how much is happening inside what initially looks like one flower. That's why I love keeping the weekly photographic record. Because when you put the weeks together... you can actually see the plant progressing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ DOING NOTHING... AND SEEING EVERYTHING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest theme of this week's report. We're not doing much. And that's intentional. The plant doesn't need us to invent work. She's not asking for major training. She's not asking to be reshaped. She's not asking to be stripped. She's not asking us to constantly reach into the canopy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's healthy. So what exactly would I gain by interfering? Nothing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ My job right now is observation. I walk in. I look. I inspect. I check the flowers. I check the leaves. I check the environment. I check the irrigation. I check whether anything needs attention. And if the answer is: "No." Then... I walk away. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ That's not laziness. That's experience. Knowing when a plant needs you... and knowing when it doesn't. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ OBSERVATION IS STILL WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think this is something people sometimes underestimate. When a grow is in its active training phase, it's easy to feel productive. You're moving branches. You're positioning things. You're adjusting the canopy. You're doing things with your hands. But later in the run? The most important tool can be your eyes. ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒฟ You observe. You compare. You notice changes. You catch something early. You decide whether it matters. And you act only when necessary. That's what we're doing with Big Mama. We're not ignoring her. Quite the opposite. We're paying attention. We're just not manufacturing problems where there aren't any. And right now... she looks like she's doing exactly what she should be doing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ WATCHING THE PLANT CHANGE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One of the most rewarding things about this stage is watching the little changes accumulate. The flowers become larger. The pistils change. The resin becomes more apparent. The plant's overall appearance changes. Some leaves begin to show signs of age. Other leaves remain beautifully green. And all of these things are part of the plant's progression. The important thing is context. We don't look at one leaf and immediately decide the whole plant has a problem. We look at the entire plant. We compare with previous weeks. We look at where changes are occurring. We look at the flowers. We look at the new growth. We look at the environment. And then we decide whether anything actually needs attention. So far? Big Mama is simply moving. And moving beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ We're also entering the stage where the nutritional strategy begins to change. As we approach the final part of the flowering cycle, I'm starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like the idea of going: "Full nutrition today." Then: "ZERO EVERYTHING TOMORROW." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual transition. Reduce a little. Observe. Let the plant continue. Reduce again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the end of the cycle. The plant doesn't suddenly stop being alive because we're approaching the finish line. She's still functioning. Still transpiring. Still photosynthesizing. Still developing. So for me, a progressive reduction makes more sense than slamming the door shut overnight. We're beginning that transition now. Less nutritional input. Continued observation. And allowing Big Mama to finish her work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ WHY I PREFER A GRADUAL REDUCTION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Plants don't have a little calendar hanging on the wall saying: "Two weeks left!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ They respond to their environment. They continue functioning. They continue using resources. And different plants can behave differently during the final stages. That's another reason why I prefer to reduce gradually. I'm watching the plant. Not just the calendar. Godfather OG Pheno B is still actively developing. She's still beautiful. She's still moving. So I'm not interested in suddenly starving her simply because we're getting closer. The nutritional input is being reduced progressively while we continue observing her response. That's the philosophy. Slow transition. No panic. No unnecessary extremes. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting setup remains upgraded with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. And we're still controlling that extra capacity rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... this is where having more capability becomes useful. We don't have to use everything. We have the headroom. We have the fixtures. We have the photons. And we can control how much we're actually using. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number possible. Big Mama has plenty of light available. Now we're watching what she does with it. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ PHOTONS MEET A BIG PLANT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Godfather OG Pheno B is a fantastic example of why I keep talking about three-dimensional lighting. She's not a flat surface. She's a big plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's got height. She's got branches. She's got flowers occupying different levels. She's got leaves facing different directions. She's got areas exposed directly to the fixtures... and areas deeper inside the canopy. So when we say approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, that's exactly what we mean. The upper canopy. The rest of the plant naturally receives different intensities. That's normal. That's physics. That's plant architecture. And the additional Lumiflora lighting helps us explore how we can bring additional illumination into deeper parts of that structure. We're not just lighting a tent. We're lighting a three-dimensional garden. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š FUTURE OF GROW โ€“ THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA SUN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ A big thank you again to Future of Grow for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. This upgrade has given us something I really value: Control. More available lighting. More headroom. More flexibility. And because we don't need to run the fixtures at maximum output, we can find the operating point that makes sense for the room. We're currently around 59% power from the plug and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of artificial sunlight. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ And Big Mama is sitting right underneath it... catching photons and turning them into flowers. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these fixtures in a real flowering environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL ANSWER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And once again... the 8ร—8 experiment continues to prove why genetics are so fascinating. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional strategy. Different plants. Different expressions. Different personalities. Godfather OG Pheno B has given us a very clear answer. She's big. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautiful. She's developing quickly. And she has claimed her own space. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be another cultivar. She's simply being herself. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And looking at this week's photographs... I can see why I'm loving this girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ The full-plant images show just how substantial she has become. The flower photographs show the developing structure. The closer images reveal the resin and pistils. And together... they tell a story that a single photograph never could. She's changing. She's maturing. She's becoming more defined. And she's doing it quickly. This is why I don't want to rush through these final stages. There is still so much to observe. Every week gives us another little piece of the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ BIG MAMA IS STILL BUILDING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ She's not finished. That's the important part. She's still developing. Still building. Still changing. And although we're getting closer to the final part of the journey, I don't want to start treating the plant like the finish line has already arrived. She's still here. Still working. Still using the environment. Still developing her flowers. So we continue observing. We continue providing what she needs. And we let her decide how the next chapter looks. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. Just support. And patience. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ THE ROOM CONTINUES TO DO ITS JOB โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The general room environment remains consistent with the current 8ร—8 setup: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: approximately 26.5โ€“27ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง RH: around 60โ€“61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate temperature: around 25โ€“26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: around 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: approximately 6.0 โ€ข โšก EC: gradually being reduced as we move toward the later flowering stage โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.4โ€“1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L โ€ข โ˜€๏ธ Upper canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD โ€ข ๐Ÿ”Œ Lighting output: approximately 59% And again... these numbers are useful. But they're not the entire story. The plant tells us the rest. And Big Mama is telling us: "I'm good." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ SHE'S SHINING BRIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are weeks where a plant gives you a dramatic event. Something happens. Something changes. Something needs fixing. And then there are weeks like this. Nothing dramatic. Nothing broken. Nothing demanding intervention. Just... growth. Beautiful growth. And honestly? Those are some of my favourite weeks. Because this is the payoff of all the work we did earlier. We built the structure. We established the environment. We got the irrigation working. We provided the nutrition. We upgraded the lighting. And now... we watch. Godfather OG Pheno B is doing the rest. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THIS IS THE PART I LOVE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This stage of the grow reminds me why I enjoy growing so much. You can plan. You can measure. You can prepare. You can control as many variables as possible. But eventually... you have to let the plant be a plant. And that's where the magic happens. The grower provides the opportunity. The genetics provide the expression. The environment provides the conditions. And the plant writes the story. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers very clearly. She's a Big Mama. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. She's filling out. And she's making herself impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ LOOKING AHEAD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ From here... we continue exactly as we've been doing. Observe. Check. Photograph. Measure. Support. And only intervene when something actually requires intervention. The nutrition will continue its gradual reduction as we move toward the later stages. The lighting remains controlled. The environment remains stable. The irrigation continues. And Big Mama gets to keep doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development ๐Ÿ’Ž Resin development ? Pistil evolution ๐ŸŒฟ Natural changes in the foliage โš—๏ธ Response to the gradual nutritional reduction ๐Ÿ’ง Water demand โ˜€๏ธ Response to the lighting environment ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental stability ๐Ÿ“ธ Changes from week to week No rushing.

And Godfather OG Pheno B continues to shine. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's developing her flowers. And I'm loving her. This week, once again, we didn't need to do much physically. And that's okay. Actually... that's fantastic. Because it means the plant is doing what she's supposed to do. Our job right now is mostly to observe. Look closely. Check the flowers. Check the foliage. Watch the environment. Monitor the irrigation. Gradually reduce the nutritional input as we approach the later stages. And if something is needed... we respond. If nothing is needed... we leave her alone. That's the balance. Because growing isn't always about doing more. Sometimes growing is knowing when to stop doing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And this Big Mama? She's got it. She's claiming her place in the tent. She's shining under those photons. She's building beautiful flowers. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's evolving quickly.

A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded lighting setup in a real flowering environment. More capability. More control. More photons. And the ability to run the fixtures at a controlled output rather than simply pushing everything to maximum.

And most importantly... let's keep doing what this stage of the grow asks us to do: Pay attention. Provide what is needed. And let the plant shine. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ

I have been calling this my frost throne this week. When you are look at it a certain way it looks like a throne and the frost on her is incredible. The stacking of bud sites is very impressive I am hoping by the time it is done it is just a bunch of huge buds. Showing a little nute burn on a few tips this coming week will probably cut the ph perfect trio and give it some extra flush time and see how it runs this week. Today will be getting big bud and bud candy in its feed, then flush til Wednesday then flush til saturday. See how that goes!

Increased the Big Bud feeding this week. Looking over the photos it doesn't appear that anything spectacular happened this week. It is almost as if she has stagnated in growth. No signs of nutrient burn so hopefully she packs on some weight soon. The video added includes a variety of strains. C4-matic, Green Crack auto, Stardawg auto and the Californian Snow auto. The Californian snow is the 4th plant zoomed in during the video.

Woche 7 der Blรผtezeit, letzte oder eher vorletzte Woche, mal schauen... Aber es ist viel passiert in der letzten Woche. Die buds bekommen mehr und mehr Fรผlle, die Stempel รคndern ihre Farbe, die Harzproduktion lรคuft auf Hochtouren und der Duft ist einfach nur geil! Kurz vor der Ernte ist's doch am schรถnsten, oder nicht?!๐Ÿ˜œ

This is the shorty of the bunch. I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.

This is the first day of week 4. I decided against any form or training or topping and decided to focus on watering and getting nutrients correct for this first grow. Being itโ€™s a tent grow, I can essentially grow when I choose now anyway. Touching the plant leaves the soft but pleasant smell on your fingers that we all know and love. Iโ€™ve also drilled more holes in the bottom of the pot and do get some runoff when I water now. Considering switching to 12/12 in a weeks time.

Our most infamous strain with the stickiest buds in the game. A knockout artist who boasts a staggering 24% THC. Very big and potent. The โ€œglueโ€ comes from so much resin, that your fingers will literally be stuck together while trimming. A large-sized plant that only needs around 9 weeks to reward growers with big enormous sticky fat buds, that any type of grower will fall in love with. Super easy to grow and her pine and diesel terp profile will impress even the most experienced cannabis connoisseur. She is well suited for beginner growers and hash makers should not miss out on this trichome queen. Bud descriptionGorilla Glue Autoโ€™s buds will be chunky and dense, with a heavy resin production that causes your fingers to stick together like super glue. The buds are dark green, with swollen pointy calyx that swell wrapped in bright orange hairs. A truly impressive amount of trichomes that would make excellent cup winning extracts hands down.Smoke reportShe is one for smokers with the highest tolerances and fans of powerful hybrids. Gorilla Glue Auto is extremely potent and her effects are not for the light-hearted. Not only will she glue you to the nearest armchair, your eyes and face will slowly feel the force of her physical effects while you enjoy a nice head high that will keep you deeply motivated and energized. Certainly a perfect choice for staying at home and lounging out with friends or relieving stress and pain while maintaining an uplifted spirit that allows you to continue with your day-to-day chores.Plant AppearanceThis lady likes to stay low and will usually grow to a height of 60-130cm, making her ideal for keeping out of sight. She does not require much maintenance and will reward you with massive yields of up to 450-600gr/m2. Her growth structure is short and bushy, thanks to her sativa dominance, and will grow one main central cola, with fat side branches all around. Once flowering starts, expect Gorilla Glue Auto to fill out thick and fast, as she begins to pack on size, weight and go crazy with the trichome output. From seed to harvest she is ready in 9-10 weeks, where she will finish with a short and fat appearance.

Week 10 of flower, looking to chop next week. The trichomes are about 70/30 cloudy/amber. Doing a few days of darkness and really cold night temps to hopefully push out the colors and resin production here towards the end.
