Week 1 flowering - Day 5 of flowering & Day 61 of life Finally flowering here. It’s been 5 days on flowering, still pre flowering but finally the best is coming. Jealousy is happy and looking healthy. Bud formation seems not that big but I am optimistic about it. Let’s go 💪🏼🙏🏼🔥

The tent is definitely overcrowded, they're starting to really take-off. I need to get the females I'm going to force pollen outside but it's still too cold. I may have to make a makeshift grow area for a month. Aquarium water: 6.82pH 395 PPM 73.4⁰F I used Bloom City pH Down until I hit 6pH

So this week was the first week of flowering! 😊 lovely. She has stretched just a little bit and will expect some further stretching. Quite glad of this as my green house is quite short. Weather has been colder and slightly damper this week so she probably hasn’t been at optimal conditions. Gave her Some extra vegetation and bloom to help through this transitions. Also added a nice scoop of BatGuano to ensure she has enough P in the near future.

Week7 of flower and she is stacking nice and getting thick. Buds are rock hard and coated in resin. Greasy feel that is stickier than anything I’ve ever grown. At least two more weeks maybe more as all her heads are crystal clear.

Week 6 from seed day 42 auto blue cheese

Completed Week 12 (Week 4 Bloom) with a bang, discovered I had Powdery Mildew! Culprit was a newer plant from another tent. Treated with a milk/water (60/40) solution and gave it a serious defoliation and even removed really bad PM'd bud sites. So pissed that I had left both tents open, when I should have kept only one open at a time. I am hoping I can stay on top of keeping it in control and will look to use an H2O2/water solution to briefly soak the harvest in afterwards to kill off any PM and other bacteria. I think next time, unless I know I can easily access all four sides of a scrog, it is very difficult to maintain and defoliate properly.

🌱 Folder 10A | Guava Auto Week 2 – Compact Beauty, Unlimited Potential Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where every plant tells its own story. This diary follows Frosted Guava Auto 10A, one of the most compact ladies in the room and, without question, one of the most beautifully structured plants we’ve seen so far. Growing under exactly the same environmental conditions as every other cultivar in this project allows us to appreciate something fascinating: genetics truly have their own personalities. While some plants race upwards searching for the light, Guava has chosen a completely different strategy. She builds. Every node arrives tightly stacked. Every branch develops with purpose. Every new leaf seems larger than the last. Rather than stretching, she is constructing the foundation of what promises to become an incredibly dense canopy. Sometimes the strongest plants aren’t the tallest ones. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions As with every plant inside the 8×8 Adventure, Guava Auto benefits from a carefully controlled environment designed to provide consistency throughout every stage of development. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Maintaining identical conditions across the entire room allows each phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern without environmental variables influencing the comparison. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program This week Guava continued receiving the complete Plagron Terra nutrition program. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The emphasis remains on supporting vigorous root expansion while encouraging steady vegetative growth without forcing excessive vertical stretch. Healthy roots build healthy harvests. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This has been one of my favourite plants to watch this week. From the very beginning she displayed extremely tight internodal spacing, giving her a naturally compact appearance. Instead of reaching upward, she concentrated on strengthening her central stem while producing large, healthy fan leaves that quickly shaded the lower growth. That was the perfect opportunity to introduce gentle leaf tucking together with a small amount of low-stress training. The transformation over only a few days was remarkable. Branches that had previously been hidden beneath the canopy suddenly found the light. The centre of the plant opened beautifully. Airflow improved. Future flowering sites became visible almost immediately. By the final photographs of the week, Guava looked like an entirely different plant. Still compact—but now balanced, open and full of potential. Her architecture is becoming exactly what you hope to see before the transition into flowering. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress One of the biggest advantages of documenting these plants individually is seeing how small adjustments influence their development. This week wasn’t about bending the plant dramatically. It was about working with her natural shape. A few carefully positioned leaves were tucked away. The canopy opened naturally. The lower branches responded almost immediately by accelerating their growth toward the light. Nothing aggressive. Nothing forced. Just gentle guidance allowing the plant to express its own structure. Sometimes the simplest techniques produce the biggest improvements. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos The camera really tells the story this week. Early images highlight a beautifully thick central stem with exceptionally short internodal spacing—a strong indication of healthy growth and excellent light intensity. As the week progresses, the overhead shots begin revealing something even more exciting: symmetry. Every branch appears evenly distributed around the main stem, while the large fan leaves frame the developing centre almost perfectly. The close-up photographs of the canopy are especially rewarding. Hidden shoots are beginning to emerge from every node, quietly preparing to become future flowering branches. It’s one of those weeks where growth isn’t measured by height. It’s measured by potential. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead The coming week should be very exciting for Guava Auto. With the canopy now opened through gentle LST and leaf tucking, I expect the secondary branches to accelerate rapidly and begin competing with the main stem. Rather than producing one dominant leader, she already hints at becoming a naturally bushy plant capable of supporting multiple flowering sites across an even canopy. If she continues developing at this pace, she may become one of the most productive compact plants in the entire room. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She’s quietly preparing to become one of the fullest. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you for taking the time to follow another chapter of this adventure. Whether you’re an experienced cultivator, someone growing their very first plant, a curious observer, a supporter, a skeptic, a silent reader, or someone who simply enjoys watching these journals unfold—you are all part of this journey. Thank you to every grower who shares knowledge, asks questions, offers advice and helps make this community stronger every single day. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from every corner of the world can document their work, inspire one another and continue learning together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the complete Terra feeding program used throughout this project. Their consistency and reliability allow each genetic to express its true potential under stable conditions. To Zamnesia and the breeders behind these incredible genetics—thank you for the years of work that make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own character, and discovering those differences is one of the greatest joys of cultivation. And finally… Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries. The supporters. The critics. The believers. The skeptics. The friends I’ve met along the way. Every comment, every question and every conversation makes this project more meaningful. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One week at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

Missed a week Day 151 since sprouting Week 5 of flower 2 caps full of Tiger Bloom yesterday with non ph'd water Don't have enough time lately to get it all done , NOT happy with this one currently!

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana ho eseguito Lollipopping e Defoliation per far si che le cime principali sprigionino al meglio il loro vigore. Siamo verso la fine del progetto ora bisogna solo aspettare la fine... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Smelled amazing and was easy to grow. 1st Grow!

Hi Growmies, She is continuing to swell similar to her clone mother. She is continuing to gulp up the nutrients, leaving me to almost having to change the reservoir every 5 days. The smell of cheese is hanging in the air. She will need a little longer but everything is looking very promising. Thanks for stepping by and see you next week.

Just got terpinator in the mail today. Used it on peyote cookies and I am literally on edge to see the outcome. 5 more weeks and it will be harvest time. Two new diaries up! Be sure to check out gorilla cookies from expert seeds and critical kush from Dinafem seeds.

Nice buds😜

I took this video in the 6th week of flowering. I only used the fertilizer once in the second week of flowering 3g/L.

This Gelato autoflower is developing nicely! She's ready for a defoliation. The defoliation will be done on next weeks watering day. 2.5 gallon dosage of the above listed nutes lasts her 5 days, becoming 90% dry, and ready for the next 2.5 gallon dosage!

This run is my first time growing with a DWC set up, and also first time growing from clones. I am super impressed with both growing in Hydroponics and growing from cuts. They had 4 weeks of veg, and it has filled out the tent as much as I intended. The mother plant was a single seed gifted to me from a buddy. This first run will be the first I see of the phenotype in flower. I am praying that i like it and am happy with it, as will seem like a waste of time and effort and money growing it to now like the pheno. I wish I was able to pheno hunt this one. I will be pheno hunting TH Seeds London Mint Cake, as I was very impressed with how that turned out.
