The plants hung in the grow tent with the exhaust fan running low for 10 days with an RH between 45-50%. 80 grams at trim from 3 Blueberry Autos. For a first time grower, I tried to let the plants do their own thing mostly, aside from some lite defoliation and tucking. In doing this I see ways I can improve. After curing for 10 days, first sample was not disappointing. (I intend to cure it at least 1-2 months.) Sweet berry aroma when chopping up the bud. Smooth burn with white ash. Can get a hint of berry flavor in the smoke however it also is not ready yet. But I can almost predict the possible flavors after curing. I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it as long as possible. Overall impressed with the grow and look forward to the final smoke. Ready to apply what I've learned and improve on my next grow.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 The Stretch Is Over, the Show Is Beginning Every week inside the 8×8 Adventure feels like another chapter unfolding, and Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially entered one of the most exciting stages of her life. From the moment she germinated under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, her goal has been to prove that autoflowers can still build impressive structure and healthy development under a flowering light schedule from day one. Now, after weeks of careful Low Stress Training, patient leaf tucking, and allowing her natural architecture to develop, she has fully transitioned into flowering. This week isn’t about explosive vegetative growth anymore. It’s about transformation. The first real flowers are forming, the canopy is alive with brilliant white pistils, and every branch is beginning to reveal the framework that will eventually become her harvest. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – Frosted Guava Finds Her Rhythm The flowering transition couldn’t have gone much smoother. Standing at approximately 99 cm, Frosted Guava has developed into a beautifully balanced medium-sized plant that fills her space naturally without becoming overwhelming. The stretch is slowing down, allowing more energy to shift toward flower production rather than vertical growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this phenotype is her internodal spacing. Every branch has enough room to breathe while remaining close enough together to promise excellent bud stacking in the weeks ahead. Nothing feels crowded, nothing feels sparse—it simply looks naturally well built. Looking from above, the canopy is incredibly satisfying. Looking from the side, her structure tells exactly the same story. Healthy. Balanced. Ready. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Development Throughout vegetative growth the focus has remained on keeping the canopy open instead of forcing the plant into an artificial shape. Regular Low Stress Training combined with gentle leaf repositioning has allowed every developing branch to receive strong light without creating unnecessary stress. Those small adjustments are beginning to pay off now. Multiple flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, air movement through the canopy remains unrestricted, and each branch has space to develop independently. Sometimes the simplest training methods produce the most natural-looking plants. Frosted Guava is becoming a perfect example of exactly that. ⸻ ? The First Flowers One of my favorite moments in every grow is watching those first clusters of bright white pistils appear. This week they’re everywhere. Each tiny white hair is another confirmation that flowering is fully underway, marking the locations where future buds will continue building over the coming weeks. The tops are already beginning to gather themselves into small floral clusters, while every node along the branches is joining the party with fresh pistils reaching toward the light. There’s something incredibly satisfying about this stage. Everything still looks delicate… Yet you already know what’s coming. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Color remains outstanding across the entire canopy. The foliage carries a beautiful healthy green tone from top to bottom, with fresh new growth emerging vibrant and full of life. Leaf posture remains excellent, stems continue thickening nicely, and the plant simply gives the impression of being comfortable in her environment. There are no distractions. She’s focused entirely on growing flowers now. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation With flowering now established, Frosted Guava is receiving the complete transition feeding program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 The AutoPot system continues delivering consistent irrigation, allowing the root zone to remain stable while supporting the increasing nutritional demands that come with early flower. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The entire room continues operating as one stable ecosystem, giving every phenotype the same opportunity to express its unique characteristics. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Despite the warm summer conditions, the plants continue responding exceptionally well thanks to stable irrigation, healthy roots, strong airflow, and carefully maintained environmental consistency. The room continues doing the heavy lifting. The plants simply reward it. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Now the fun really begins. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect the vertical stretch to gradually come to an end as Frosted Guava redirects nearly all of her energy toward building flowers. Those tiny white pistils will soon develop into recognizable bud sites, resin production will begin increasing, and the beautiful open structure she’s built throughout vegetative growth should translate into excellent light penetration and strong flower development across the entire canopy. She’s entering the stage every grower waits for. And she’s entering it beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno A is exactly where I hoped she would be at this point in the grow. Healthy. Balanced. Beautifully structured. She’s a reminder that successful flowering starts long before the first pistils appear. Every careful adjustment during vegetative growth—from LST to leaf tucking—has helped create the strong framework she’s now using to build what promises to be an impressive canopy of flowers. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality inside this shared environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, advice, and encouragement continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Day 43 this orange is running absolutely faster than the last I did. Every day flowers are getting bigggers and resin is awful to be at 42 days. I’m really loving aptus product, but I really can’t ell what’s is pushing her so fast. Behind, in the video, you can see another auto is a strawberry banana and germinated with just 24 h difference but is starting just now to get into flowering, same soil ‘, same feeding.. incredible Let’s see what s happen

This week was a good one . Stellar initial growth this round after upgrading lights & using homemade super soil. My 3 day old plants looked like 9 day old plants of my last run to give an idea . I watered for the first time since planting on 5/17 . I had to itch to test the runoff since it’d only take a sec right? All the ph’s came out almost 2 points lower than when they went in so I decided on a flush even though I’m using Dry amendments. Honestly I didn’t have the problem of fluctuating ph’s before I added that Peat Moss to my supersoil in hindsight I wish I would have just ordered 1 more 11lb brick of CoCo Coir . I had the idea that I may need to flush a day or two prior to watering when I noticed all my stems purple. I get it could be genetics but ALL of them where purple . Here today it is 1 full day since I flushed & all of the stems are now Green with the exception of my Runtz seedling. 3/17 will make day 7 for Runtz & #1 of the GDP 3/18 will make day 7 for Zkittlez & the 3 remaining GDP. I intended to transplant these ladies day 13 preferably into their forever homes of 3g fabric pots . Fingers crossed day 14 they’ll be ready to start some LST.

Vamos familia hora de cortar estás Blueberry Cheese de ZambezaSeeds, ya tenia ganas. La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 40% humedad y 24 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. Por lo demás de miedo os la recomiendo. Gracias a Agrobeta y Mars hydro , sin ellos este proyecto no sería igual 🙏.

A really good plant. Gave a okay yield. 60g dry all covered in resin! Smells really funky little citrus but also very 🧀

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Issues with the 5th seed growing into a funny "U" shape. Attempting to fix the issue by straightening and re-planting.

iiiiiiiiiiii

hi everyone , the finaly start to flower properly :) still a lot slower than indoors but they´ll get there xD ... it definitively smells nice now 😍 hope the weather will stay as dry as possible for the next two month 😅 but probably it wont 😁 we will see how they´ll do happy growing and till next week 😇

Sherbet Queen Auto deserves only praise. I really haven’t had any problems during these little over ten weeks. And in the end I got above average yield. I wrote earlier but I will repeat the basic information: 81 days from when it sprouted until it was harvested. 3 weeks of vegetation. 7 weeks of flowering. 14 days drying 70 g total yield. 1 Sherbet Queen plant. In the end it grew almost 90 cm which is almost ideal for the height of my grow box which is a total of 180 cm high. All ten or so weeks passed without any problems, and in the end it produced large hard flowers with a sweet scent. After 14 days of drying in a grow box in the dark, I did the final trimming after the check I weighed the dried flowers and put them back in the jars. I also added moisture fighters to the jars that will regulate the moisture during final curing in the jars. And here we are at the end, Sherbet Queen is definitely a recommendation to everyone, I have no doubt you will enjoy the sweet smokes if you opt for this strain. I made an effort to write as much information as possible to help future growers on their journey. Thank you all for the comments and a big thank you to James from RQS for the great support. See you soon.

Los abonos que se ven no se hicieron en el mismo riego esto es parte de la semana 4 se darán en diferentes días siempre regulando a 0.4, primer abono de VEG con Green Grow de Quemanta, en Fin de Semana se pasan a floración y aplicamos estimulantes de floración. Riegos foliares cada 3 días con knactive, esta semana se hicieron 2 defoliaciones en diferentes días debido al rápido crecimiento y ya preparándose para la floración. Se agregará un Ventilador mas para la semana siguiente.

Die letzte Woche meiner Apricot Auto ist geschafft – heute war endlich Erntetag! 🍑✂️🌿 Nach ihrer kompletten Outdoor-Reise wurde die Pflanze heute geerntet und in einzelne Äste für die Trocknung zerlegt. Erst auf dem Trockengestell wurde richtig sichtbar, wie viele Blüten sie über ihre zahlreichen Seitentriebe produziert hat. 😍 Besonders schön sind einige der kräftigeren Buds und die teilweise dunkleren Farbtöne zum Ende der Blüte. Jetzt heißt es nur noch: langsam trocknen, geduldig curen und abwarten. ❤️ Das finale Gewicht sowie Aroma, Geschmack und Wirkung folgen nach dem Curing. 🍑 Apricot Outdoor 2026 – HARVESTED! 🌿✂️🔥 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The final week of my Apricot Auto is complete – today was finally harvest day! 🍑✂️🌿 After her entire outdoor journey, the plant was harvested today and separated into individual branches for drying. Only after spreading everything across the drying rack could I really see how many flowers she had produced across all those side branches. 😍 I especially love some of the chunkier buds and the darker colors that appeared towards the end of flowering. Now it's time to dry slowly, cure patiently and wait. ❤️ Final dry weight, aroma, flavor and effects will follow after curing. 🍑 Apricot Outdoor 2026 – HARVESTED! 🌿✂️🔥

The weather has been terrible, with lots of rain and extremely high humidity. That's why I decided to harvest. I will be able to provide more information about the flavor in a few weeks but the smell was sweet and fruity.

Still going strong. I think mid week 5 now since flip. So week 4 of true flower. Lowers are solid, I forsee this being very dense.

Oh my , things are moving along very quickly. The untrained one looks a bit lacking. The trained ones are doing great 👍 👍 👍

Hey yall! Thanks for tuning in this week. Had a great look under the microscope of my soil, I just ordered a camera for my scope so next week look forward to seeing and identifying some beneficial microbiology! Another round of compost tea, I added Kiwi 🥝 😋 Fermented Juice, to this round of tea. Also adding food for the bacteria (simple sugars) and for the fungi (complex carbs). I suggest using diverse food for increased biodiversity. The mycelium network is really established at this point. Which is why I highly recommend to keep reusing your soil, and the larger the pot size the better. I am in 10 gallons for now. Once I move into our house will be into living beds, 100 gallon + If you can't be in a bed, use 25 gallon. You will benefit in time. So at this point only using inputs I have made from organically grown plants, mostly grown in house. Anything else was wildcrafted, sustainably, so if I take something from nature I am replacing it with something else. Balance in all things. Added the fruit for pushing the flowers. Pistol hairs are growing. This strain is a sativa dominant, and thus my flowers are not as compact and "looser" than indica dominant strains I have always grown. Review on this sativa dominant cultivar is: harder to grow than most strains, longer flowering time is also a pain while increasing my costs with more days with the lights on. Getting COAs on the finished flowers and I will post on here, I am hoping for higher levels of THCv, let's get into the rare cannabinoids and higher terpenes!
