@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New video of the girls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. Video of the girls this morning. Kl 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Videos added. KL. 23.00. New video.

๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B Week 14 โ€“ The Dark Little Unicorn Has Left the Tentโ€ฆ Big Mama's Next Chapter Awaits! ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here we are again, my friendsโ€ฆ Another Frosted Guava has left the building! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„โœ‚๏ธ Last time, we said goodbye to her sister, Frosted Guava Pheno A, as she left the tent and started her post-harvest journey. And now? It's Pheno B's turn. Our dark little unicorn. Our frosty girl. Our beautiful Big Mama. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Because yes, this girl has her own personality, her own structure, and her own story. And although the two sisters share some similarities, they certainly haven't been identical throughout this adventure. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 journey from seed. But two different seeds, two different expressions, and two beautiful girls who have given us plenty to appreciate. And now, just like her sister, Pheno B has completed her time in the tent. We took her final photographs in the grow room, moved her into the studio, photographed individual branches and flowers, explored some macro details, and created more photo stacks. Then we broke her down, removed the leaves we wanted to take off, vacuum-bagged the material, and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ That's where she is now. Resting. Waiting for the next chapter. And that next chapter will involve processing the frozen material into bubble hash. We'll document that process in future updates, explain what we're doing, and share what happens after the extraction. But we're not going to jump ahead. Today is about Frosted Guava Pheno B, her journey, her harvest day, her photographs, and the beginning of this new chapter. So let's give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves! ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐Ÿ“ข FIRST THINGS FIRST โ€“ WHY ARE WE PUTTING HARVEST DAY IN A FLOWERING WEEK? Before we get into the photographs, let's explain why we're documenting another harvest under a flowering-week update. I know some of you might look at the diary and think: "Hang on a minuteโ€ฆ isn't this a harvest report?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, my friends. It is harvest day. But GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photographs per update, and when you're documenting an entire harvest journey, those photographs disappear very quickly. We have the final photographs inside the tent. We have the studio session. We have individual branches and flower details. We have macro photography. We have photo stacks. We have the breakdown and trimming. We have the vacuum-bagging process. And we still have the extraction and everything that follows to document. That's a lot of material to squeeze into one update! So, just as we did with her sister, we're using this flowering-week entry to document the final day in the tent and the beginning of her post-harvest journey. This is an individual diary, and we want to keep her story together as clearly as possible. GrowDiaries doesn't provide a dedicated section specifically for extraction projects, so we'll use the available diary updates to document the different stages without pretending that everything happened in one day or one chapter. Depending on how much material we have, we'll continue in another update or updates. The extraction itself will have its own explanation, and we'll share the results when we actually have them. So please consider this the beginning of Big Mama's post-harvest story, not the final report. Thank you for understanding, everyone! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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 A QUICK RECAP โ€“ THE 12/12 JOURNEY Let's rewind for a moment. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B has been part of our 8ร—8 Adventure, where we've been following different plants and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. And one of the most interesting parts of this project has been watching how differently plants can express themselves under a shared setup. We started these plants from seed under a 12/12 light schedule. That means we've been observing their development from the beginning under the same daily light-and-dark rhythm, rather than changing to a conventional longer vegetative schedule before flowering. And the autoflowers? Wellโ€ฆ They've certainly given us plenty to talk about! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Throughout this run, we've watched the plants develop at their own pace, build their own structures, and show their own personalities. Frosted Guava Pheno B became one of our more distinctive girls. Her darker green character, beautiful flowers, frost, and unusual flowering structures made her increasingly recognizable as the weeks went by. And, of course, her sister was showing some similar foxtailing characteristics. That doesn't prove a specific genetic explanation by itself, but it gave us an interesting pattern to observe in this shared environment. Two sisters. Two individual expressions. And plenty of reasons to keep looking closely. That's what I love about this adventure. We aren't trying to make every plant look the same. We're documenting what each one becomes. And now, Big Mama has reached the end of her flowering journey. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ 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 LEFT THE TENT Let's be honestโ€ฆ This girl earned her nickname. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama! She has been a beautiful presence in the room, and although she shares a genetic family with Pheno A, she's developed her own character along the way. The flowering journey is now complete for this plant. We took our last photographs of her inside the tent, documenting her where she'd spent her time growing alongside the rest of the 8ร—8 girls. Those photographs matter because they preserve the final view of the plant in her original environment. Once a plant is harvested, the structure changes. The branches are separated. The flowers are handled individually. The grow-room chapter ends, and the post-harvest chapter begins. So before doing anything else, I wanted to capture that transition. One last look at Big Mama in the tent. One last photographic record of the plant as a whole. And thenโ€ฆ It was time to move her into the studio. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 STUDIO TIME โ€“ GIVING BIG MAMA HER MOMENT After documenting her final day in the tent, we took Frosted Guava Pheno B into the studio. And this is where I get to enjoy another side of the whole adventure. Photography! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š I love documenting plants while they're growing, but the studio gives us another opportunity to explore their details. We took photographs of the plant and selected branches. We photographed individual flowers from different angles. We explored the details more closely. And, of course, we spent time creating photo stacks. Because I don't want to remember Big Mama only as a plant that stood in the tent. I want to preserve the details that made her interesting. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individual characteristics. The way she looked at the end of her flowering journey. And those photographs will become part of her permanent diary record. The grow tells us how she developed. The photographs help us look back and appreciate what she became. And for me, that's a beautiful combination. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY โ€“ GETTING CLOSER Some of the photographs from this session focus on individual flowers and smaller details. And that's where things become especially interesting for me. From a distance, you see the overall plant. Move closer, and you start noticing the individual flower structures. Get closer still, and there are details that can be easy to overlook when you're simply looking at the plant in the tent. That's one of the reasons I enjoy macro photography and stacking. It gives me a way to study and document the subject more closely. And Frosted Guava Pheno B has certainly given us something worth exploring. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฌ I also enjoy the creative side of the process. The lighting. The angles. The background. The focus. The way a small change in position can completely change how a flower looks in the final photograph. It's a different kind of work from growing, but it's still part of how I enjoy this hobby. And Big Mama deserved a proper studio session before moving on to her next chapter. 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 PHOTO STACKING โ€“ MORE THAN ONE PICTURE If you've been following my recent updates, you already know how much I enjoy photo stacking. For anyone who hasn't come across it before, the basic idea is to capture multiple photographs of the same subject at different focus distances and combine the sharp areas into one final image. This can create a photograph with greater apparent depth of field and reveal more of the subject's details. But it's not simply a matter of pressing a button and walking away. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There's setup involved. There's lighting. There's positioning. There's capturing the individual frames. And then there's processing the photographs and checking how the final image comes together. For this session, we took individual flowers and branches into the studio and created stacks to document some of the details that caught my eye. The resulting images give us another way to appreciate Big Mama beyond the wider photographs of the whole plant. And that's what I love about this process. One plant can give you many different photographic stories. The whole plant. A branch. A flower. A macro detail. A stacked image. Each one shows something different. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ FROM PLANT TO INDIVIDUAL FLOWERS After the photographs, we moved on to the next part of the process. We broke the plant down into individual sections and removed the leaves we didn't want to retain around the flowers. This was part of preparing the material for the next stage of our project. I want to make an important distinction here. This wasn't a conventional drying-and-curing update, and we're not presenting the material as finished flower. We have taken a different route with this particular harvest. After the initial breakdown and trimming, we vacuum-bagged the material and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ That's where it is now. The plant has left the tent. The studio session is complete. The material has been prepared and stored. And the next chapter will focus on the extraction process we're planning to document. So, rather than trying to explain every part of that process here, we'll give it the attention it deserves in a future report. For now, this update is about the harvest itself and the transition from the growing environment to the next stage. 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 BAGGED, VACUUM-SEALED AND INTO THE FREEZER And nowโ€ฆ Big Mama is resting in the freezer. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ After breaking the plant down and removing the leaves we wanted to take off, we vacuum-bagged the material and placed it in the freezer. This is the preparation stage for the next part of the project. We're planning to use this frozen material for a bubble-hash extraction, and we'll document that process separately. I don't want to jump ahead and start describing results we don't have yet. The extraction hasn't been documented in this report. We haven't shown the final product. And we're not going to pretend that the story is already finished. Right now, the material is stored, and the next chapter is still waiting for us. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ This is one of those moments where the diary becomes a little different from a conventional grow report. We're not simply following a plant from seed to harvest and stopping there. We're documenting what happens next, too. And that means giving each stage its own space. Big Mama's growing chapter is finished. Her post-harvest chapter has begun. And the extraction story is still ahead of us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿซง THE NEXT CHAPTER โ€“ BUBBLE HASH So, what happens next? The plan is to document the process of turning the frozen material into bubble hash. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, bubble hash is a type of cannabis concentrate made by separating resin-bearing trichome material from plant material using ice-cold water and filtration. The process uses the difference in physical characteristics between the resin-bearing material and the rest of the plant, with filtration helping separate the collected material into different grades. It's a different project from simply drying and curing flower, which is why we want to document it separately rather than trying to squeeze it into this harvest update. We'll explain what bubble hash is, how the process works at a high level, what equipment and stages we're using, and what we observe along the way. We'll also document the drying of the collected material and what we decide to do with it afterwards. But we're not there yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซง For now, Big Mama is safely stored in the freezer, and the next chapter will begin when we're ready to carry out and document that process. I want to show the journey as it happens, step by step, rather than write the ending before we've reached it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? WHY THIS IS A DIFFERENT STORY FROM HER SISTER This is where things get interesting. Frosted Guava Pheno A and Pheno B belong to the same genetic family, but their individual diaries are telling two separate stories. Both girls have now left the tent. Both have had their harvest-day photographs. Both have moved on from the flowering stage. But the post-harvest journey we're documenting here focuses on Big Mama and what we're doing with her material next. For Pheno B, we've chosen to vacuum-bag the prepared material and store it in the freezer as part of our planned bubble-hash project. That means her next update will have a different focus from a report centred on drying and curing whole flowers. We're still documenting the plant's journey, but the next stage is a different one. And that's precisely why I want to keep her report individual. Even when two plants share a cultivar, they deserve their own records. Their development is individual. Their harvest is individual. And their post-harvest journeys can be individual, too. Two Frosted Guava sisters. Two beautiful plants. And two stories that don't need to be identical. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE CONTINUES There's something special about reaching this stage of the project. For weeks, we've been watching a room full of different plants sharing the same general environment. We've observed different structures. Different growth patterns. Different flowering expressions. Different rhythms. And now, one by one, the girls are moving into their next chapters. Frosted Guava Pheno B has completed her time in the tent. The plants still growing in the room continue their own journeys. And our documentation continues with them. That's the beauty of keeping individual diaries. Each plant gets her own timeline. Each plant gets her own photographs. Each plant gets her own story. And even after harvest, we can continue documenting what happens next. Big Mama may have left the tent, but she's still very much part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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 IS RESTING โ€“ DOC HAS MORE WORK TO DO Let's be honest. Big Mama has done her part. She's grown. She's flowered. She's given us beautiful photographs. She's had her studio session. And now she's resting in the freezer. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Meanwhile, DogDoctor still has photographs to organize, stacks to process, future updates to prepare, and an extraction project to document. Apparently, the work doesn't stop just because the plant has left the tent. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿซง But that's part of the fun. Growing is one part of the journey. Photographing is another. Documenting the harvest is another. And now we have a new chapter waiting for us. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you, because I want to show not only the final outcome but also the process that gets us there. One stage at a time. One update at a time. And one beautiful Big Mama at a time. 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 WHAT COMES NEXT? The next chapter will focus on the extraction project. We'll document the bubble-hash process, explain the stages, and share what happens when we work with the frozen material. We'll also cover how we handle the collected material afterwards and what we decide to do with the final result. The amount of material we have to share will determine whether we can fit everything into one update or whether we'll need more than one. Either way, we won't rush it. We want the information and photographs to tell the story properly. And once that part of the journey is complete, we'll be able to bring everything together in a final report. For now, Big Mama is resting. The freezer is doing its job. And we're preparing for the next chapter. ?๐Ÿซง๐ŸŒฟ 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’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ BIG MAMA'S STORY ISN'T FINISHED Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno B. Harvest day. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž What a beautiful journey this girl has given us. We've watched her grow from seed under a 12/12 schedule. We've followed her individual development. We've seen her distinctive character emerge. We've admired her flowers and unusual structures. We've compared her journey with her sister's while allowing her to remain her own plant. And now, we've reached the end of her time in the tent. We took her final photographs in the grow room. We moved her into the studio. We photographed branches and flowers. We captured macro details and created photo stacks. Then we broke her down, removed the leaves we wanted to take off, vacuum-bagged the material, and placed it in the freezer. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ But this isn't the final report. It's the beginning of another chapter. The material is waiting for the bubble-hash project, and we'll document that process in future updates. We'll share what we do, what we observe, and what happens afterwards. Until then, Big Mama gets to rest while we prepare the next part of the story. And I want to say something about this whole journey. Not every plant needs to end her story in exactly the same way. Not every phenotype needs to follow the same path after harvest. And not every diary needs to fit into one neat, identical format. The important thing is to document what actually happened, explain the decisions we made, and share the experience honestly. That's what we're doing here. Big Mama has her own story. Her sister has hers. And both deserve their own spotlight. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’š So let's give this beautiful girl the recognition she deserves. Thank you for the flowers, Big Mama. Thank you for the photographs. Thank you for the memories. And thank you for giving us another reason to keep exploring the many different ways these plants can express themselves. Your time in the tent is finished. But your story? It's still going. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ 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™ THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share our experiences with growers around the world. And thank you for understanding why this harvest update sits under a flowering week. The photo limit means we need to divide the story into manageable chapters, and we want to document the harvest and the next stages properly rather than leave important details out. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these two beautiful sisters to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the growing-media and 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 the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes.

And before you go, if you haven't joined us yet, you're more than welcome to come and say hello! ๐ŸŒฟ DogDoctorOfficial Community: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial Our Discord community keeps growing, and honestly, one of my favourite things about it is the people. We have conversations about the plant, growing experiences, equipment, photography, and all the little things that make this hobby so interesting. We also have community discount codes, competitions where members can win prizes, giveaways, and other activities for everyone to enjoy. But above all, we have a community that feels like family. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑ And I want to make one thing clear. You don't need to be an expert to join. You don't need years of experience. You don't need to know every technical term. You don't even need to be an active speaker. You can ask questions, share your experiences, join the conversations, or simply hang out and listen. Everyone is welcome. There's no competition over who knows the most, no need to prove yourself, and no requirement to be at a particular level. We're there because we enjoy talking about this plant, learning from each other, and sharing the journey. So if that sounds like your kind of place, come and join us. We'd love to have you with us! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you in the next chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventureโ€ฆ where one more girl has left the tent, the freezer is holding Big Mama's next chapter, the photographs are waiting to be processed, and DogDoctor has another project to bring you. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ The harvest is complete. The next story is waiting. And Big Mama? She's not finished with us yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿซง Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š

Sorry for the long delay, but wasn't sure if I was gonna finish this runoe n Moved everything down to my flower room and finally flipped to flower. Humidity is extremely low so I recently added a ideal aire 75 pint unit to try n help fight. Since last cycle, I got 4 new 640 watt LEDs, 6 100 watt inter-canopy lights, added 2 20 pound co2 tanks, and added an 8 inch intake fan to help control the. CO2. Ended up with 24 plants, 15 strains (got way 2 carried away with buying seeds this year lol). Since I'm gonna retire my 2 fav strains, I wanted to cast a wide net and find worthy successors.

Plant is 6 weeks from seed tomorrow, I have upped nutes to 3ml per litre of both A +B Canna coco nutrients for a couple of waterings but she's soon started showing nute burn again so i've lowered to 2.75ml . Stretch has slowed right down and I'm hoping will stop very soon

And another week has passed and the ladies are going towards en of flowering. What I noticed the last couple of weeks is trouble keeping it stable and unstunted. The two Forbiddens and one XL all went slower. The one XL Runt in the 5 liters bigger grow bag is going full throttle and is almost done, the others are still filling out. My theories: The bigger grow bag held on to more water, the bigger grow bag kept the roots cooler, the bigger grow bag had in theory the same amount of nutes as the smaller, so the ratios could be more optimal. The bigger grow bag was nearer to the intake of cooler air and not so hot by the heat. Final theory: the bigger grow bag has better super soil regulation and is less affected by the fluctuating PH of my nute mix. For now, it is all speculation. Im considering all possibilities but I think I need to tweak my recipe for autos and always use 20 liter bags instead of 15. Still Im not complaining, they all get to a nice size and we still have some weeks of flowering to go. But the XL Rut on the left is creating fat heavy buds I wish all plants had. Nice how the smell is definately geloto on the both, the XL runtz a little more pungeant, the Forbiddens a little more fresh. This SP 3000 still delivering the goods, with the ventilation still great output, no noticeable loss of output or overheating. Look at the spring deals at www.mars-hydro.com. When is the last time you treated yourself to something nice? Come on, you've earned one! We shall see how they develop, trying to balance my way to the end of flowering hoping they won't stunt again. Final weeks. Thanks again for visiting!! Hug Bud

The whole neighbourhood is trying to figure out where the skunk family is!!! Plants never stopped flowering yet but have slowed considerably. We had 5 major frosts and 2 snow events during this grow and all plants stood the test. One night was -4C. This is all coming down in two days where it is scheduled to be a +22C day.

WEEK 2 FLOWER โญ๏ธNUTRIENTS USED โญ๏ธ Front Row AG Si .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Part A 3.3g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.2g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.6g per gallon Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon This week the whole slate of Front Row AG nutrients are used. For my first experience using salt type nutrient, everything seems to be going well. No deficiencies and no signs of stress. Mixing is super easy and everything dissolves 100%. My lights were gradually raised by 5-10% every day until 100%. Beginning the week PPFD was almost 1000, now it is almost 1500 PPFD. To supplement all of the light these plants will get, high doses of CO2 are given during daylight hours. The room stays at 1500ppm at a minimum. By weeks end everything under the net will be stripped and the canopy thinned of all large fan leaves. One big stressful event, so the rest of flower the plants can be left alone to bloom. Itโ€™s best to do it once IMO. I believe things are right on track. Calyxes are already starting to form on all of the plants and things will only get better from here. Thanks for stopping by and Iโ€™ll see you next week.

Targona: 29 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds๐ŸŒฑ Fourth week of growth of my OG Eddy Lepp Auto ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒบ Nutrients: I use nutrients from Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland - three basic components, still according to the table for growth during the flowering period ๐Ÿ’“ - - Dutch fertilizer Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase ๐ŸŒพ - Dutch fertilizer Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ - Dutch fertilizer Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase ๐ŸŒด ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root Stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ - I fertilize for the last time in the fifth week of plant growth. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made of calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- BioBizz Bio pH - is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ‹ ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- During the flowering period, I add Advanced Nutrients stimulants: - JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿต๏ธ - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my girls ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ โšกโšกโšกHowever - from the next watering I will fundamentally change the nutrients to organic with small exceptions. I will make this change carefully, so that the girls feel good, have the nutrients they need and at the same time not give them so much synthetics โšกโšกโšก General: OG Eddy Lepp Auto ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒบ - The girl is growing beautifully and responds well to nutrients. In the last week she switched to the flowering phase and therefore grew tall, even though it is a hybrid.๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Training: Classic, I continuously perform defoliation and small LST - I tie up the branches that grow towards the pot just like the others so that they do not shade each other's buds. In addition, I gently pulled the large leaves closer to the stem so that I don't have to cut them ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก Thanks for the likes :) See you soon ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
