Yooooooooyoyoyoyoyooooo, Beginning of week 12. Could i harvest already? Yes. But i want to wait at least one more week until harvest so probably week 13. I read that waiting a week more than usual can boost potency and yield as long as it won't get too hot, but it won't - hopefully lol. The E.C. was kinda high 1.1 So i partially cleaned the reservoir, emptied about 6 liters and refilled it with pH water Well the Plant is looking absolutely stunning and is definitely one of the best looking plant i ever grew. In Reallife she is looking so much better. Over all trichomes over trichomes, the buds get more and more purple, and they look SO dense, I LOVE IT! Really good genetic. If i can get my hands on the Photoperiod strains from fastbuds i will grow some mother plants and will try cloning for the first time, Growing in Deep water culture is awesome. For me, it's more fun than on soil. i want to try coco but if i try coco i will buy something like the autopot system. im too stupid for hand watering and will screw up at some point. the less i have to handwater the lower the risk Thats for this week, have a wonderful day, and see you next week, cheers!

Semana del 9 de febrero 2026 al 15 de febrero 2026.

Pheno très lents ! Voyons voir fin octobre début novembre si elle résiste elle sera extrêmement coloré vue les températures basse et ses teintes violets hérité par la génétique

🌸 Flowering – Week 7 | Day 48 (Day 83 overall) Strawberry AK – Current Status I did not post the last update in the forum because of the incident with the 3 days of continuous light on the Strawberry AK. In the end, the plant handled it much better than expected. There are no signs of hermaphroditism, no bananas, and in that regard everything remains clean. Stress is still visible on some of the leaves, but fortunately the flower development was not seriously compromised. 🌿 Overall Development At this point, it is becoming clear that the Strawberry AK needs more time than originally expected. The plant may be ready in around 1 to 2 weeks, depending on how much progress she makes during the final stage of flowering. 🧠 Current Approach For now, the plan is simply to keep everything stable and give the plant the time it needs to finish properly.

Die Versorgung mittels des Autopots funktioniert hervorragend. Ich bin echt noch immer erstaunt, wie dieses System 2 Pflanzen so versorgen kann, dass aus diesen beiden 11 Liter Töpfen ( mit Drainage!) solche " Bäume " entstehen können. Die Pistillen werden deutlicher und so langsam kann es losgehen. Eine Pflanze zeigt leicht lila Stämme, was ich allerdings eher auf die kühlen Nächte schieben würde, welche die Aufnahme von Phosphor stark behindern. Wir haben Nachts teilweise unter 14 Grad und Tagsüber mal knapp über 20, mal an der 30 Grad Marke . Aber das gehört einfach mit dazu. Ich mache mir nur etwas Sorgen, dass die Pflanzen zu groß werden und durch Sturm abknicken. Deshalb habe ich vorsorglich die Versorgung mit Silizium verdoppelt. Den allgemeinen Dünger habe ich auf einen EC von 1,0 reduziert, weil die Pflanzen bei dem Wetter eh nicht so viel verstoffwechseln können, aber das was sie können, gut über die KAK des Coco funktioniert und dies einem Salzaufbau entgegenwirkt.

Delicious Seeds 💜💜

I semi vengono dall'ennesimo rimborso della RQS (il miglior servizio clienti del mondo) Anche questa volta non sono germogliati tutti ma questo incidente più un'attitudine buddista et invent and simplify mi ha spinto a iniziare nuovamente con il metodo SCROG. C'è da dire una cosa sulla RQS Quando il seme germoglia è la pianta inizia il suo per corso, le genetiche sono top, di prima qualità, le cime in fioritura da servizio fotografico. Mi è stato detto e ho letto in alcuni blog che il kit di germinazione ha dato lo stesso problema ad altri coltivatori. La prossima volta germinero in maniera differente. Come potete vedere nelle foto del diario le piante sono cresciute in maniera meravigliosa, hanno risposto in maniera perfetta a ogni stress o modifica, adattandosi perfettamente a tutti i metodi utilizzati. Hanno riempito la rete dello scrog in maniera uniforme. Resistenti e vive. Nutrite acqua e Bio canna mi hanno dato 18 cimoni principali, che sono stati tagliati e messi a seccare. Lascio le cime più basse ancora qualche giorno, al massimo una settimana per farli ingrassare, per poi tagliarli e mettere tutto a seccare. E iniziare il prossimo coltivo. La seconda parte del raccolto è stata abbondante. Come potete vedere nelle foto Nel primo taglio con le 18 cime centrali che si sono magicamente trasformate in 16 😋 ho ottenuto 223 gr circa. Tra oggi e domani finirò di pulire e pesare, e inizierà in maniera più profonda la fase del assaggio.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 12 🦄 The Little Unicorn Is Rolling Toward the Next Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 Well... Our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Moving. Stacking. Building. And apparently... doing it faster than some of the girls around her. 😂🦄🔥 Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop for a second every time I walk past her. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's getting heavier. She's continuing to build those amazing flower structures. And at this point... I'm not really doing much. Actually... I'm doing almost nothing. 😂 The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The plant knows what she's doing. So now? We're basically watching the show. 🍿🌿🦄 And honestly... what a show she's putting on. ──────────────────────── 🦄 WEEK 12 – THE LITTLE UNICORN KEEPS MOVING ──────────────────────── Frosted Guava Pheno A is still moving fast. That's probably the first thing I notice this week. She's not sitting around waiting for anybody. She's continuing to develop. Continuing to stack. Continuing to build. And continuing to become more and more substantial. She's got that beautiful combination of structure and flower development that makes her so interesting to follow. Every week... something seems a little more developed. A little fuller. A little heavier. A little more defined. And that's what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. Not whether she can build. We already know she can. We're watching how far she decides to take it. 😂🦄🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING NOW ──────────────────────── At this stage of the run, the flowers are really starting to tell the story. The plant has done most of the structural work. The framework is established. The branches are established. The flowering sites are established. And now the flowers are becoming the main characters. 🌸🌸🌸 They're building. They're stacking. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial throughout the plant. And that's what I love about this stage. You can look at the plant and see the work that has already been done. Now we're simply watching the results develop. It's almost like watching a painting dry... except this painting keeps getting more beautiful every week. 😂🦄🎨 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ SHE'S GETTING HEAVIER ──────────────────────── This girl is not just flowering... she's carrying some serious flower. 😂🌿 The structures are becoming increasingly substantial, and you can see that she's putting more and more of herself into those flowers. She's becoming a heavier plant. And that's another reason I'm not interested in constantly interfering with her. She's doing beautifully. She's growing. She's developing. She's carrying her flowers. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to become. So... why mess with it? At this point, my job is mostly to make sure she gets what she asks for... and then get out of her way. 😂 She's got this. ──────────────────────── 👀 THE GROWER IS JUST WATCHING THE SHOW ──────────────────────── This is probably the funniest part of this stage of the grow. I've spent so much time throughout this adventure doing things. Training. Tucking. Adjusting. Moving. Checking. Photographing. Watching. Changing. And now... the plants are basically saying: "Thanks for all that. We'll take it from here." 😂🌿 And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. The work has been done. Now we watch the show roll out. The plant is growing. The flowers are developing. The genetics are expressing themselves. And all I need to do is remain present enough to respond when she asks for something. That's it. Provide. Observe. Assist. And enjoy. ──────────────────────── 🦄 THE UNICORN STILL HAS HER PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── I really like how recognizable this phenotype has become. When we first started this journey, we didn't know exactly what Frosted Guava Pheno A was going to show us. Now? I think we're getting a pretty clear picture. She's fast. She's beautiful. She's heavy. She's structurally interesting. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing things in her own way. She's definitely earned the little unicorn nickname. 😂🦄 And the more she develops... the more appropriate it becomes. There's something about her flower formation that keeps catching my eye. She's not just another flowering plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And she's becoming a very interesting example of what this genetic expression can look like in our environment. ──────────────────────── 💚 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. ──────────────────────── And once again... we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional philosophy. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve completely different stories. That's the magic. The room doesn't tell them exactly how to grow. It gives them the opportunity. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno A has clearly decided that she's going to make the most of that opportunity. She's growing fast. She's stacking. She's becoming heavy. She's developing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌿🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 💡 THE PHOTONS ARE STILL FLYING ──────────────────────── The lighting setup remains part of the same upgraded environment we've been running throughout the room. Those additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still helping expand our lighting capability. We're not simply throwing maximum power at the plants. We're controlling the output and providing the room with the photons it needs. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava is clearly making use of that artificial sun. 😂☀️🦄 She's taking those photons... and turning them into flowers. Lots of flowers. That's the beauty of it. We provide the sun. She decides what to do with it. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE LIGHT DOESN'T MEAN MORE WORK ──────────────────────── One thing I really like about the lighting upgrade is that it doesn't mean we have to constantly change what we're doing. The capability is there. The control is there. And now we simply watch how the plants respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need us standing beside her saying: "Come on, girl!" 😂 She's already moving. She's already doing it. She's already developing. So... let her. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN ──────────────────────── And now we're entering another little transition in the room. The nutritional program is beginning to decrease. Nothing dramatic. Nothing unusual. Just the normal progression of the run. We've been feeding the plants through their development, and now we're starting to bring that nutrition down as part of the next stage of the journey. For me, this is another sign that the grow is slowly moving from: "Build." toward: "Finish." We're not there yet. But we're getting closer to that part of the story where the grower becomes less concerned with building new structure... and more interested in watching the plants complete what they've already built. And Frosted Guava has certainly built something worth watching. 🌸🦄 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE BIG WORK IS DONE ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest message I want to leave in this week's report. The work is done. At least... the big work. 😂 We've established the plants. We've created the structure. We've managed the room. We've made our adjustments. We've provided the lighting. We've provided the nutrition. We've watched the plants develop. Now? We're mostly observing. Because you reach a point in every grow where trying to constantly "do something" can become more of a distraction than a benefit. The plant has a job. The plant is doing it. Our job is to make sure she has what she needs... and not get in the way. And Frosted Guava? She's doing her job beautifully. ──────────────────────── 👑 GIVE HER WHAT SHE ASKS FOR ──────────────────────── So that's basically where I am with this girl now. I'm not trying to tell her what to do. I'm listening. 😂 If she asks for support... we support. If she needs something... we respond. If something needs adjusting... we adjust. Otherwise? I leave her alone. Because she's showing me that she knows what she's doing. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's doing it without needing me to constantly interfere. That's a pretty good relationship between grower and plant. 🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 WATCHING THE SHOW ROLL OUT ──────────────────────── There is something incredibly satisfying about this part of a grow. You reach the point where the major decisions have already been made. And suddenly... you get to sit back and watch. The flowers develop. The plant matures. The colours evolve. The resin continues to develop. The structure becomes more pronounced. And eventually... we arrive at harvest. But we're not rushing there. We're still watching. Still documenting. Still learning. Still enjoying the process. And Frosted Guava is giving us a beautiful show to watch. 🦄🌸🎭 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROSTED PART OF FROSTED GUAVA ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't forget the frost. 😂❄️🦄 The flowers continue to carry that beautiful resinous character that made the name Frosted Guava feel so appropriate. The closer you look... the more detail you find. The trichomes. The pistils. The flower structure. The textures. The little details that make each cola its own little landscape. This is another reason I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees: "Beautiful plant." The camera says: "Wait... come closer." 😂📸 And then suddenly you're lost in the details. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA IS DOCUMENTING THE TRANSITION ──────────────────────── This is also where the weekly photographs become particularly valuable. Because we're now moving through a transition. The flowers are more developed. The plant is heavier. The structure is established. And we're beginning to see the plant move toward the next chapter. One week from now... there will be changes. Another week... more changes. And eventually... we'll look back at these photographs and realize just how much happened in between. That's why I love these diaries. We're not just showing the finished product. We're showing the journey. And Frosted Guava has given us a very interesting journey. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GROWER'S ROLE HAS CHANGED ──────────────────────── Earlier in the run: "Okay, what do we need to do?" Now: "Okay... what does she need?" 😂 That's a big difference. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant already exists. We're no longer trying to establish her structure. It's already there. We're no longer trying to convince her to flower. She's flowering everywhere. Now... we're simply supporting the process. And honestly? I really enjoy this part. Because it gives you time to appreciate what you've created. Or... more accurately... what the plant created. 😂🌿 We just helped build the stage. She put on the performance. ──────────────────────── 🦄 STILL MOVING FAST ──────────────────────── And despite everything becoming more mature... she's still moving. That's what surprises me. She's not slowing down into some quiet little corner. She's continuing to develop. She's continuing to gain presence. She's continuing to stack. She's continuing to become more substantial. And I really like the pace she's chosen. She's got momentum. And we're simply letting that momentum carry her forward. No forcing. No rushing. No unnecessary changes. Just... let her go. 🦄🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, my questions are becoming much simpler. 🌸 How much more will she build? ⚖️ How much more weight will those flowers gain? ❄️ How much more frost will develop? 🎨 How will her colours continue to evolve? 🦄 And how will this little unicorn look when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the interesting questions now. Not: "Can she do it?" She already is. Now we're simply watching how far she takes it. ──────────────────────── 💚 NO NEED TO FORCE THE ENDING ──────────────────────── And that's something I want to keep reminding myself of. We're getting closer. But we're not going to force an ending. The plant will tell us. The flowers will tell us. The development will tell us. Until then... we watch. We maintain. We provide what she asks for. And we enjoy the ride. Because the harvest work will come later. And when it does... we'll have plenty of work waiting for us. 😂✂️ But that's another chapter. For now? We're still growing. ──────────────────────── 🦄 LET THE LITTLE UNICORN SHINE ──────────────────────── So... Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still moving. Still stacking. Still getting heavy. Still developing. Still doing exactly what she wants. 😂🦄💚 The big work is done. The room is established. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The nutrition is beginning its gradual transition. And now... we watch the show roll out. I don't need to constantly touch her. I don't need to constantly change something. I don't need to force her into a particular shape. I just need to be there. Observe. Respond. Support. And appreciate. Because this girl is putting on a beautiful show. 🌸🦄✨ And I absolutely want to see how the next chapter unfolds. ──────────────────────── 🔮 THE NEXT CHAPTER ──────────────────────── We're getting closer to the part of the adventure where the scissors eventually come out. 😂✂️ But not yet. For now... we're still watching the flowers develop. We're still watching the plant mature. We're still watching the colours. We're still watching the resin. We're still watching the little unicorn do whatever the hell she wants. 😂🦄 And honestly? I'm in no hurry. Let's let her finish her story. Then... we'll deal with the harvest. But that's future us's problem. 😂 Right now... present us is just enjoying the show. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful expression from Frosted Guava. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this beautiful little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Frosted Guava? You're still doing exactly what I hoped you would do... which is absolutely nothing like what I expected. 😂🦄 You're moving fast. You're building. You're stacking. You're getting heavy. You're becoming more beautiful every week. And now we're simply watching you take everything you've built toward the next chapter. The big work is done. The grower is mostly standing here with the camera. 😂📸 The plant is doing the work. So... let her shine. Let her stack. Let her keep moving. Let her finish what she started. And when the time comes... we'll pick up the scissors and start the next adventure. But for now? I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. 🦄🌸💚🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the nutrition slowly starts stepping back, and our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she wants. 😂🦄🌿 The work is done. Now... we watch the magic happen. Let her shine.

Showcase of indo nutrients with some go guano ive been using since early veg. I had to spread and defoliate. Every few days its like this girl gets a whole new bush. Im just keeping ontop of the spacing so i dont run into any problems during the rest of flowering. Ill up date next week, probably be a huge bush again . white film on tent is just baking soda in the water, residue from combating powdery mildew.I dont feel its doing any harm if i notice buds resting on it i may have to wipe it down with alcohol. Ive been on edge watching for any signs of PM, Its been clear since christmas ! Very blessed to figure that out before it over took my crop.

Day 84: Well after flushing down to 50 ppm the Blue Dream is done. They’re sitting in the dark cool tent for a couple days. They smell so much. Intense blueberry, sweetness. They faded out quite nicely. Unfortunately the upper fans were ruined by lockout. I will be happy to get these jarred up to keep the smell locked down. My carbon filter can’t keep up. There will be more to come in the harvest entry. Happy Growing 🌱

Aloha Freunde der Sonne 😊 Den Mädels geht es hervorragend. Die Blüte zeigt sich auch schon. Mit LST halte Ich Sie auf gleicher Höhe mit alle genug Licht abgekommen. Viel Spaß😉

This lady is done. Well done fastbuds bang on 9 weeks

10/28/2025 What a day! We have started the Bloom Nutrients, cleaned out the reservoir... To be honest, I don't know what people are talking about with dirty things. My whole bucket was super easy and fast to clean. Frankly it really wasn't dirty at all. Kinda like reusing a cup. Nothing wrong with it. Just had something else in it. Anyway, quick and easy. I used distilled water. 4 gallons per bucket. I think my TDS meter is broken. Either it's really that high or these plants love it, but the reading is 1020 ppm and the EC is at 2000. That's really high... I think. I have no idea. I've read that people couldn't get over 300 ppm without burning their plant. While I'm at 1020 ppm. Something is wrong here and I can't figure it out. I've watched them like a hawk for the last 5 hours. And they look super happy and healthy. Not a single sign of toxicity. Just follow the instructions. Lol. So why am I looking at numbers that should burn them? Maybe I'm wrong. But I think they can just handle it. No idea how, but these are tough plants. I'll update with any signs of stress. Anyway, moving on. Ahem... So I definitely need to do another clip traing on Papaya Cookies. Not really sure if Lemon Cherry Cookies needs it. I'll see tomorrow. Also, these 2 are finally showing real traits of what they are. Papaya Cookies is definitely sativa as the description says. Like seriously sativa. Thin leaves, skinny branches. At first I thought it was the stem issue, but then I realized that this is what it's supposed to look like. Skinny but strong. Anyway, she is starting to grow too tall in the middle, so I need to pull down some branches with those clips I got. Lemon Cherry Cookies is certainly showing her indica traits. Wide leaves, bushy stature. Thick strong branches. Beautiful green color. (Papaya Cookies leaves are much lighter.) Lighting: 27" away from the canopy. Power 90% 278 watts. 615 PPFD I might have to dim the light a little when they grow closer to it. Maybe. It all depends on how much higher I can get the light up. I think there's 8 inches of space between the light and the ceiling. I'll figure it out. The environment is still perfect. The humidifier and heater barely run. And if they do, it's like level 1 or 2 of power. Not much going on in there to change the environment. But I did get my new exhale 365 bag. It's supposed to take a few days to get going, so we'll see what it looks like in a few days. The CO2 level is around 900 ppm. I'd like it a bit higher, but it's ok. I don't think I'll record the environmental readings. They are generally all the same. And it's honestly getting a bit redundant. Especially when they are already recorded in the list thing. See you tomorrow. 10/29/2025 No picture day. I assure you they look wonderful. Both plants are starting to show buds. They should start stretching any day now. Each of them is 12". Very green, very healthy. I'll have to pull down 2 top branches on Lemon Cherry Cookies after lights on. Just 2. They are sticking up too high above the others. Also, it'll help fill in a hole in the center of the plant. Still looks pretty bushy. That's nice. Papaya Cookies looks awesome! Even after her little infection. Definitely stunted and I would have expected her to be taller than her counterpart. But she isn't. However. That's not stopping her from producing tons of bud sites. I may have to go with the scrog net after all. Unless she hardens up and can hold the buds. I don't think so. I'm gonna have to use the net as a support. Lighting: So I lowered the light to increase the DLI currently it's sitting at about 42.5 mol. The PPFD is around 630. Something like that. I'm going to double check when the light is at full power. I was going to increase the intensity to 100% but I decided I should wait a few days since I lowered the light. I'll get a measurement after the lights turn back on. Honestly, my goal is to have the light as high as it can go with max intensity. I'm not sure I can actually do that with this 300 watt light. I also have the CO2 exhale bag I can consider soon enough. If it works as they say, I can probably increase the DLI to 50 mol. We shall see. Environment: There's actually something to talk about. So I live in an apartment converted from a house. There's a total of 3 apartments. Someone, not me, cranked the heat this morning and the tent hit like 78°. I know it's not a lot, but still not within my precision mastered range. Lol. Hell, my AC isn't doing the job. The lowest it's been is 71° in the house. Back up to 72° but yah, in the house it was like 75°. Anyway, that's it for the day. I'll check in later with any changes. 10/31/2025 I'm sorry everyone. I've been super busy the last couple days and didn't have time to add to my plants adventure tale. So I noticed at light level 9, the plants were praying pretty hard. I thought to myself well then a bit missing light. So I turned up to max level 10. Watt output is 310 watts. I don't remember the DLI, but it's like 44 mol. Anyway, I checked on them about an hour later. They were still slightly praying, but that's good. It just means they needed a bit more light. I'll keep an eye out for light stress. Also, I think I figured out a thing. Cannabis grows trichomes when it is stressed out as a defense mechanism, no? As in a strong aroma coming off in the veg stage. Isn't that a sign of stress. In particular light stress? Obviously when flower hits, it will smell from the flowers. But as a vegging plant, it should smell like a leafy green plant and not strongly of trichomes. It's just a theory, but could be useful if I'm right. To summarize, veg stage should smell like a plant. Flowering should smell like weed. And as it's known. It builds trichomes to protect against light stress and a few others I can't think of at the moment. Wind burn too I think. More like environmental stresses. Something the plant would have to protect itself against. If you have an idea in regards to this theory, I would be glad to talk about it. Send a comment and we can maybe start a discussion. Anyway, I let the pH float yesterday. Today it was dangerously close to 6.5. I don't understand why it increases so much. It doesn't swing either. Just spikes. It's seriously annoying not knowing why. I will learn thos somehow. Back to 10/31/2025 Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃 So today I will be taking some of the training clips off. They are starting to get too small for the bigger branches. I'd like to take them all off now, but I have a lot of small branches that need to be woody and thick. But yah, all of those are coming off. I've also decided to see if the light at 90% will still cause major reaching. And if so, maybe I should let it be. They can stretch right into the light. Or I'll leave it at 100%. I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment on that no matter how old this diary is. The temp seems to be perfectly ok, but the humidy is starting to climb with the plants getting bigger. So it's dehumidifier time. I'm planning on buying the AC Infinity one that connects to the system. But I have as small one for now. Environmentally speaking, everything is going great! Not too much wind, decent air exchange and bouncy CO2. Not sure how to fix that. I was considering routing the end of the exhaust duct back into the tent. I think I will. When I get these vent port caps. They are light proof but also provide air exchange. So I was thinking of taking the duct. Sticking it in the top vent port and letting that air flow through. If it works, I should have plenty of CO2 in the tent, the temp should stay pretty constant as well as the humidity. Well, kinda. The dehumidifier would have to work double time, but the other accessories, like the heater and the humidifier won't need to run as much. And considering this AI is keeping my tent spot on, I'm guessing spot on to spot on would make a perfect mix. We shall see. I have to wait a week or so for the port covers, which sucks. Because this is the very beginning of flower and I would love for the CO2 levels to be in the 1200s. I think. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks absolutely wonderful. Lush broad leaves. She'll definitely need a trim at the end of the stretch. Speaking of stretching, she hasn't done much of it. Like an inch or so. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I'm just being impatient. But I have had plants with the greatest care only get to like 18" tall. This Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like it might be one of those plants. Super bushy, but really short. Trimming after the stretch should open up some much needed air space. But as I said the leaves look great! No signs of any issues whatsoever. And the root ball! It's huge! I can't take pictures because I have to hold the lid up. Believe me, it's big. Papaya Cookies looks pretty good as well. She's actually taller than her counterpart. By a good inch or 2. But that is most likely because she's a sativa. Where Lemon Cherry Cookies is an indica. In that aspect everything is perfect. And! The stem isn't getting big big, but it's definitely expanding. Not like the other one, but still. She still definitely needs to be supported, but I expect good things. Maybe not big things, but good ones. Her root ball isn't all that big either. Kind of expected. However, I do have 1 more seed I think. Maybe I'll pop that after the next run. Hopefully I'll be in a bigger place with space for a 4x4 tent and my 3x3. That would be pretty bad ass. 3x3 for autos and vegging photoperiods. The 4x4 for the flowering phase. Autos stay in the 3x3. An endless supply of weed right there. That's all for the day. 11/01/2025 So I wake up this morning to a legit bush. Lemon Cherry Cookies seemed to go PUFF and blew up like a balloon. I'll definitely be taking out some leaves after her stretch. I think that's the best time to trim an autoflower. But only once. Small snippets, in my experience, are fine. But like just a few leaves here and there. Papaya Cookies is starting to stretch more. She's also starting to fill out now. I'm expecting a much larger plant in the coming week or so. She's still a very healthy plant. No idea how, but even her lower stalk is fattening up. She might be a little bit behind, but she's starting to become more active. Honestly, she should be taller and a bit larger than Lemon Cherry Cookies. The way the stalk looks on both of them, Papaya Cookies wins. Up top anyway. But the bottom is small, so less production I think. The environment is spot on still. I think I'll leave the light at level 9 for now. I might turn it up after the stretch. But for now, level 9 it is. The CO2 is pretty low in the tent. I forgot to tell you all. The new exhale 365 bag came in and is already in place. That was nearly a week ago. My bad. Anyway, it works, but then it stops. I might route the exhaust duct back into the tent above the canopy after I get the port vent caps. I think that'll work. This is good. Because winter is coming and it gets cold here. So I'll need as much heat as I can get. Well, not really, the heater I have is fantastic. But you get it. The heater also brings in a ton of air. Enough where it balloons the tent. I'm having trouble getting the pH to stay at 5.8. it jumps to 6.3 daily. So I guess I'll just keep fixing it. Lol. Anyway, that's all for today. I'll update with any changes. 11/02/2025 Well well well. Look who came out to play! Both ladies are doing quite well. Lemon Cherry Cookies is by far the winner of this run. But you never know. Papaya Cookies might shoot up but I'm pretty sure she won't get that big. Her root ball is kind small. At least compared to Lemon Cherry Cookies. Hers is huge. I can't take a picture because I have to hold the top and the roots. So big. Anyway, I had to top off both ladies today. They were about a half gallon low. I added a little bit more bloom to help prepare them for the next water change and then bloom goes up. And we add the p/k boost. So I figured exposing them to a very small extra dose would probably do good. Other than that and the huge root ball, nothing much else to report. The environment is perfect, as usual. I'll definitely be trimming after the stretch. They are getting really bushy. That's all for now. 10/03/2025 Good stuff happening today and possible bad stuff as well. Good things first. These 2 plants are getting nice and plump. Well Lemon Cherry Cookies is. Papaya Cookies has a few lower spots. Her canopy isn't very even at all. Thelmouter half just stopped growing. She's also showing signs of nutrient deficiency. She definitely has enough nutes. It's because of her smaller trunk. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of. I checked for bugs with my microscope. Nothin. Checked everywhere for signs of rot, root rot and anything else that could potentially be causing the yellow spots. They are burning through it looks like.

Very very stretchy and with fragile branches.

After defoliating both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants after week 11 they now develop more and amore flower clusters, since the light can penetrate deeper int the canopy now. The plants are producing trichomes like crazy, even the bigger sugar leaves are covered in them! VERY FROSTY PLANTS! The flower clusters clearly form colas now along all side branches and both plants fill up nicely. The smell is now strong and sweet with a clear peach aroma to it, it makes me smile every time I look into the tent. The plants love the Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule and are getting the recommended dose every watering.
