Mid bloom Week 9 schedule in full effect. I kept the additional Flora Gro here even though the chart says to cut it completely. I wanted to make sure that the deficiency didn't creep back in before the late bloom phase. The plant continues to fill out and the aroma is amazing. It smells just like Skittles candy when you touch the buds. All the additives have definitely improved the aroma and terpene profile of these plants. I wish it had a bit more 'gas' to it but it does smell super sweet. Threw in a video!

Grow Diary Update: Week 12 — NL1 & PPX2 Overview & General Status We have officially rolled into Week 12 with the second batch of autoflowers, PPX2 (Strawberry Nuggets × Pink Panama) and NL1 (Northern Lights #1). Both plants are maintaining a wonderfully compact structure down in their fabric pots, keeping a low, tight profile as they focus their energy entirely on stacking and bulking up. Current Plant Breakdown * PPX2 (Compact Pheno): * Looking stout and dense in its 5-gallon container. The tight node spacing is doing wonders, keeping the structure incredibly compact while the site develops rich, frosty clusters. * NL1 (Multi-Branched Pheno): * Hanging right along with that same low, sturdy footprint. The branching is tight and well-supported, letting the developing top sites catch the crisp late-season deck sun efficiently. Environment & Irrigation Update * Natural Rainfall: With the rain we've had pass through over the last few days, both ladies have been catching some naturally balanced pH water straight from the skies. Mother Nature handled the irrigation cycle perfectly, saving us a trip with the watering can and delivering a refreshing, clean drink right to the root zone. * Media & Resilience: The 5-gallon fabric bags are draining and breathing exceptionally well between showers, keeping the root environment happy and stable. Next Steps * Keep monitoring the forecast as late-September weather rolls on. * Continue checking trichome development closely as these compact little fuel tanks finish up their final weeks.

----------- Week 5: ---------- Beginning of the 2nd week of flowering. I have noticed that the 3 biotabs that went into the ground last week, released just a little too much fertilizer in these early days of flowering. You can see that there is slight discoloration in her leaves. We go from the darker green to the lighter lime green, which indicates that she is getting just a little too much P. I fear this will probably continue for the next few weeks. Fortunately, she has a good start and basis and this will not have too many negative effects. Pushing her a little bit doesn't hurt either. Although I think I might consider using only 2 biotabs in 25l soil in the next round. First, let's wait and see how this evolves. Furthermore, of course nothing to complain. Nice further development of her budsites and she also has 2 main branches fighting for dominance. . Unwards to the second week of bloom. Until next week!

09/26/2020 She is almost done, I gave her a little trim most trichomes are milky still some clear I think about a week before she is done. Hope she gets fat!

Have 246 Gram of dry Buds. Was an Act to trim all this. With first two i got help from my Girl. And the third i did alone Add two Pics of the Buds after few Months of Fermentation. Better later then never 😄🏻‍♂️ Smoke was fine. Good Amount of THC. I guess near 20%. The Taste was okay but not the best. Use to much Nitrogen i guess. Next time i flush them. And need few more Days to dry the Harvest Hope you enjoy my Diary Growmies 🏼💯😉 and always happy Growing 💚

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 9 | Just Let Me Grow Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Some plants ask for attention. Some plants demand it. And then there are plants that simply look at you and say: “I'm good. Just let me grow.” 😂 Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely one of those girls. This week, she's happy. She's growing. She's adapting. She's building flowers. She's beautifully green. And she's asking for absolutely nothing. So what am I doing? Exactly what she wants. I'm letting her grow. 🌱 🌿 The Happy Girl in the Room There is something incredibly satisfying about walking into a room full of more than twenty plants and finding one that simply looks completely comfortable in her surroundings. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving me exactly that feeling. She's not complaining. She's not demanding anything. She's not asking for a special intervention. She's just continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning: growing beautifully. And honestly, I love it. At around 160 cm, she's among the taller plants in the room. But I want to make something clear. This run isn't about producing gigantic plants. We haven't been chasing enormous heights. And that's something I'm actually very happy about. The plants are growing into what I would consider a beautiful, manageable size, while still creating strong structures and plenty of flowering sites. For me, that's a win. 👑 A Different Queen From Her Sister And once again, her relationship with Godfather OG Pheno A makes the phenotype hunt even more interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same reservoir. Same general treatment. Yet two very different personalities. Her sister has been one of the demanding girls in the room. Pheno B? She's basically: “Don't touch me. I've got this.” 😂 And I respect that. That's exactly why I don't want to force every plant into the same behaviour. The whole point of this experiment is to give the genetics the opportunity to express themselves. And Godfather OG Pheno B is expressing herself beautifully. 🍃 That Lush Green One of the first things I notice about her is the colour. She's lush. That beautiful, healthy green is still running throughout the plant, and it gives her a very strong visual presence. The foliage looks happy. The structure looks balanced. The plant is carrying herself confidently. And when I compare her to some of the more demanding phenotypes in the room, the contrast is fascinating. She's not screaming for anything. She's simply using what we're providing and turning it into growth. That's the kind of response every grower loves to see. 🌸 The Buds Are Coming From Everywhere And this week, the flowers are really beginning to take over the story. The bud development is becoming much more obvious, and the structure is starting to show exactly where this plant is heading. What I particularly love is the consistency of the flower formation from bottom to top. We're not just seeing beautiful development at the highest points. We're seeing flowering sites developing throughout the plant. And this is where the lighting strategy becomes especially interesting. The combination of the overhead lighting with the inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting is doing an outstanding job. Light is reaching much deeper into the structure. And we're getting flower development throughout that vertical space. That makes me very curious about how these lower flowers will continue to develop as we move deeper into flowering. 💡 Above, Inside & Below This is something I've been particularly happy with during this run. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the main overhead light. But we're not asking the top light to do absolutely everything. The inner-canopy lighting and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting are helping bring photons into areas that traditionally receive much less direct light. And when you look at Godfather OG Pheno B... you can see why that matters. She's tall. She's open. She's got flowering sites distributed throughout her structure. And now we're seeing that flower development progressing from the upper canopy down toward the lower areas. That's exactly the kind of structure I wanted to see. Not one giant flower-covered ceiling with forgotten branches underneath. Instead: light → leaves → flowers from top to bottom. And so far, it's looking beautiful. 🌱 No Need to Interfere This week there was no reason for me to make major changes. No dramatic training. No unnecessary defoliation. No attempt to reshape her. No trying to make her behave differently. She's already giving us exactly what we want. So I'm following one of my favourite cultivation rules: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Sometimes growers feel like they need to be doing something constantly. But plants don't need our hands on them every day. Sometimes the best thing you can do is observe. Look. Listen. And leave the plant alone. Godfather OG Pheno B is making that lesson very easy this week. Twelve Genetics. One Ecosystem. This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants in the same overall ecosystem. They all have access to the same environmental conditions. They share the same feeding strategy. They share the same lighting philosophy. And yet every plant finds its own way. Some demand more. Some demand less. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch aggressively. Some stay compact. Some become extremely aromatic. And some... just quietly get on with the job. Godfather OG Pheno B belongs to that last group. She's adapting. She's comfortable. And she's building. 🍽️ Feeding The room continues with the shared flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The important part isn't simply the recipe. It's the response. And her response has been very clear: She's happy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining that beautiful green. She's not asking us to change anything. So we're not going to create changes just to feel like we're doing something. Consistency remains the strategy. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Again, the environment stays consistent. And Pheno B is showing us that she likes it. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming a photographer's pleasure. The full-plant photographs show that elegant vertical structure. The closer shots reveal the flowers developing throughout the plant. And the foliage... That green. That beautiful, healthy green. It's one of those plants where the longer you look, the more you notice. First you see the overall structure. Then the flowering sites. Then the individual flowers. Then the pistils. Then the early resin development. And suddenly you're standing there staring at one little flower for five minutes. 😂 That's the danger of growing. You start with: "I'll just check the plants." And twenty minutes later you're photographing a single flower from seventeen different angles. We've all been there. 😂📸 🌸 The Structure Is Speaking One thing I really like about this phenotype is the overall structure. She's tall without feeling awkward. She's open without looking sparse. She's producing flowering sites throughout the plant. And she's maintaining enough foliage to support that development. This is one of those plants where I don't feel the need to impose my own vision on her. Her structure already makes sense. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it well. That's what I mean when I say that the plants are telling us their own stories. We just have to be patient enough to listen. 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this stage, my curiosity is shifting. The question isn't really: "Will she flower?" We already know the answer. She is. The question now becomes: How much will these flowers build? How much density will they develop? How much resin will accumulate? How will those lower flowering sites respond as we move deeper into the cycle? And what will this beautiful green plant look like when the flowering structure really starts to mature? Those are the questions I'm interested in now. And fortunately... I don't need to do anything to answer them. I just need to wait. 👑 Let Her Shine There's something particularly satisfying about this phenotype. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the loudest. She's not asking for special treatment. She's simply doing her job. Growing. Adapting. Flowering. And looking beautiful while doing it. She's around 160 cm, making her one of the taller ladies in the room, but that's exactly what I like about this run. We haven't created a jungle of enormous plants. We've created plants with beautiful proportions and beautiful structures. And Godfather OG Pheno B fits into that picture perfectly. 💚 The Beauty of Doing Nothing Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to act. And sometimes... it's about knowing when not to. This week, Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need intervention. She doesn't need correcting. She doesn't need reshaping. She doesn't need me trying to improve what is already working. She needs time. And I'm more than happy to give it to her. Because every week, she's showing a little more of what she's capable of. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more personality. And now we're reaching the point where those little changes are starting to become very obvious. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect the flowers to continue building and becoming more defined. The stretch should gradually become less important as the plant shifts more of her energy toward flower development. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner-canopy flowers. With the combination of the overhead, inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting, we're giving those areas a much better opportunity to develop. And so far... they're responding beautifully. So the plan? Keep the environment stable. Keep the reservoir consistent. Keep observing. Keep photographing. And most importantly... don't get in her way. 😂🌱 👑 Godfather OG Pheno B — Week 9 So here we are. Another week. Another chapter. Another little piece of the phenotype story revealed. She's around 160 cm. She's among the taller plants in the room. She's lush. She's green. She's healthy-looking. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her structure is exactly the kind of structure I enjoy seeing. And she's asking for nothing. She's simply growing. And perhaps that's the most beautiful thing about her right now. She's comfortable enough in her environment that she doesn't need us constantly trying to intervene. She's found her rhythm. And now we're watching that rhythm turn into flowers. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project keeps reminding me why growing multiple phenotypes together is so fascinating. We can give them the same room. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same environmental conditions. And they still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us the peaceful version of that story. Her sister is asking questions. This girl is answering them with flowers. 😂👑🌸 Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the space where we can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring light into the lower canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain environmental stability. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to watch these plants develop. It means a lot. This isn't just about reaching the finish line. It's about seeing what happens along the way. And Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us one of the most enjoyable stories in the room right now. She's happy. She's adapting. She's beautiful. She's building flowers from top to bottom. She's getting more interesting every week. And she has only one thing to say: “Don't worry about me. I've got this.” 😂🌱👑 And you know what? I believe her. Growers Love, my friends, and I'll see you next week! 💚👑🌱

The plants seem to be growing very fast very strong. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

This is the last week 💀 There are less pictures than usual but nothing special happened except the yellowing of the plants due to the nutrients cut. Wait for the "Harvest" week for the final photo shoot 😎

-Added half the amount of nutrients recommended, may add a little more than half recommended during next feeding in a couple days -Newer leaves have a lighter brighter green, thinking more so than normal. Maybe not enough food? -Started LST, maybe too early? Should have it grow more? -Lots of growth this past week, preflowers showing! -Decorated and added video for the "Xmas GROW *SPECIAL*" giveaway!!

6/8 Stormed last night. Rained most of the day plants look good. They have really acclimated and are taking off with bright green new growth everywhere. Potassium bicarbonate seems to be doing it's trick and the nute schedule seems ok too. I'll update later with pictures 6/9 Raining again today. Poured last night. Branches were flipped over due to hard rain and wind. Oh well maybe the super cropped themselves. Better weather is ahead. I've seen no negative effects from adding the nutes. I'll have to look back and see when I past fed. I took 4 cuttings (2 GDP, 1 9LB Kush, 1 NYCSK) but apparently I accidentally deleted WHEN I took them from this diary. Oh well. They have new growth and are attempting to root in jiffy pellets. 6/11 It stormed the past few days. Branches were limp almost like the sheet rain and high winds super cropped my plants. Once the sun came out they recovered nicely though. Fed two gallons today. Was hesitant due to the amount of rain but it's time to feed. Fimmed some blueberry tops and defoliated what needed it. 6/13 After a couple of sunny days the plants are really growing at a rapid rate. No problem with nutes. pH is in range. Growth is a nice green color. I'm surprised after the beating they took and the sparcity after some defoliation. WPM has been kept at bay for the most part. I pulled off a couple small interior leaves and spot treated around the areas that seemed to have the WPM. This method has seemed to work well. I did notice that I may have a slight mite problem on one of my GDPS. If so it's very early and it would be hard for them to keep numbers up in this harsh environment. Either way I need to continue my IPM for months anyway and was going to use BT but I may look into using spinosid. I can't remember how effective it is at treating mites. I'm not worried anyway. It's happened before with the two spotted mites but even the couldn't really build up numbers in these rough conditions. Anyhow I'll keep this updated. 6/14 Weather has been in the eighties and the plants have loved it. Hard rain and wind haven't damaged the plants yet (knock on wood). I'm planning on doing a IPM spray tonight. If I do I'll update.

6. Veggie-Woche: Sie hat sich vom letzten Topping gut erholt und wächst fleißig weiter. Mängel sind kaum noch vorhanden, zumindest nix neues. Nicht mehr lange dann wird auf Blüte umgestellt, aber diese Woche darf sie noch etwas mehr Fülle bekommen und die 8 Haupttriebe müssen noch etwas aufholen. Aber es wird.. Dann kommen wir auf insgesamt 20 Blütenansätzen, innen 8, in der Mitte 4 da senkrecht gewachsen und die unteren entfernt und außen die gerade getoppten jetzt auch 8 Triebe. Ich hoffe die Hütte wird voll 😂 Am 07.04. Knick in der Linse😅 hab beim Entfernen eines Blattes in den Stengel geschnitten. Mit etwas Tesafilm verarztet😂🤞 Am 08.04. ist der letzte Veggie-Tag bevor die erste 12 Stunden-Nacht hereinbricht..

Starting to see some purple on some of the leaves and I smell them every time I open up the tent . Just giving them regular ph water now and waiting for the harvest. Older leaves are also fading yellow .

Sorry y’all I don’t have the true weight for this granddaddy here wife went to town on it lol
