🌱 Another fantastic and eventful week! She is still growing very strongly and loves life, but the Gorilla Cookies outgrew her tent and started some hermit crab action, leading to the Strawberry Lemonade taking home in the 50x100 cm grow closet. In order to fill out the rectangular instead of square grow space, i supercropped her. First time using that technique but it already looks like a success. The stems partially split vertically, but i taped them shut until she fully recovers. Day 45 💧 Topped up the bucket with 4 L and setting it to 1000 ppm with preflower ratios (0,8 ml/l row and micro, 0,6 ml/l bloom). Day 47 🌱 Migrated to the grow closet and got supercropped. 💧 Filled the reservoir up with 2 L. Same nutrients as on day 45.

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/24- Here we go into Week Nine for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! She is looking amazing now and is really showing the vigor of this strain, with new growth appearing almost daily now. It rained steadily yesterday and today, so my watering duty was taken care of by Mother Nature! 5/26- The diatomaceous earth that I spread around the Wedding Cheesecake FF along with spraying her down every other day with Neem Oil, and every three days with an organic insecticidal soap, seem to have taken care of the attacks on her leaves which has improved her vigor noticeably. 5/28- I watered the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF today via garden hose and continued to train her branches through the trellis net. At this point she's taken up about half of the trellis net and is constantly putting out new shoots! 5/30- Today I watered again as the weather has been really warm without any rain. I'll be getting ready to top dress her soon, probably in the next few days with some 4-4-4 and worm castings, then she'll really start to take off! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

I know people say wait til end of week 3 to defoliate but I was too impatient. Did it a few days early. Never cut basically every fan leaf before lol. But she seemed to take it okay. Grew another inch or two after that. EC is at about 1000 now still 5x a day. Just feeding a smaller amount. With all the leaves off the ladies are not drinking as much. Temps at 80F with humidity around 65.

💙 8×8 Adventure – Final Harvest Report 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B 🌸 Small Plant, Big Personality — Another Beautiful Chapter Comes to an End! Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here we are, my friends! After 15 weeks of documenting her journey, photographing her development, exploring her individual characteristics and following her all the way from seed to finish, it's finally time to close another chapter. Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B. Our compact, colourful little lady. And yes... she's finally harvested, dried, trimmed and safely tucked away in her glass jars for curing! But before we get into the final numbers, let's take a moment to appreciate the journey that brought us here. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — A QUICK RECAP FOR NEWCOMERS For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, the 8×8 Adventure is our full 12/12-from-seed experiment. We're exploring what happens when different genetics and individual phenotypes share the same general environment under a 12/12 lighting schedule from the beginning. No traditional extended vegetative period. One shared room, one general environmental approach, and a collection of different genetic expressions developing alongside one another. Some plants stretched considerably. Some remained compact. Some developed quickly, while others took their time. And even plants belonging to the same cultivar showed individual differences. That's precisely why we've been documenting each phenotype separately. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A and Pheno B shared the same general conditions and received the same overall treatment, but each developed her own characteristics and final expression. If you're joining us now, I strongly recommend checking out the previous reports. There's quite a lot of history, photographs, observations and macro photography documenting the different stages of this girl's journey. This final report is just one piece of a much bigger story! 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── 💙 BLUEBERRY MUFFIN PHENO B — HER FINAL CHAPTER And what a journey it has been! If you've followed her diary, you already know that Pheno B was never particularly interested in becoming one of the tallest girls in the room. She's been compact throughout the run, taking her time and developing at her own pace. But one thing she certainly didn't lack was personality! Compared with her sister, Pheno B gave us a more colourful final expression, and that was particularly interesting to document. Two sisters. Same cultivar. Same general environment. Same overall approach. Yet two individual expressions. And now we have the final harvest results from both of them. She may have been small, but she certainly wasn't shy when it came to aroma! We'll save the detailed aroma and flavour discussion for her dedicated Smoke Report, but let's just say that this little lady has made quite an impression. 😂💙 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ FINAL HARVEST NUMBERS Time to put the numbers on the table! 🌿 Approximate Wet Harvest Weight: 400 g 🌸 Final Dry Harvest Weight: 48.9 g A little more modest than her sister's final result, but perfectly fine for this compact girl. And let's remember the context. These were small plants grown under a 12/12 schedule from seed. We weren't working with large plants that had enjoyed a traditional extended vegetative period. The experiment was about observing different genetic expressions under shared conditions, and the final numbers are simply another part of that documentation. Almost 49 grams of beautiful, dried flowers from this little lady! Not bad at all. Small plant, big personality! 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── DRYING PROCESS — OUR DRYFERM BAG EXPERIENCE Just like her sister, Pheno B was dried using Dryferm bags. This is a drying method we're exploring as part of our ongoing experiments. For anyone unfamiliar with them, Dryferm bags are purpose-designed drying bags featuring a special membrane intended to allow moisture to move out while limiting oxygen exchange. They're not ordinary plastic bags, and they're not vacuum bags. The idea is to provide a controlled environment for drying and subsequent refinement of the flowers. This was another opportunity to put the system to the test, and our experience with both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes has been very positive so far. The flowers dried well inside the bags, and we were genuinely pleased with how they looked when we opened them. Of course, no drying system replaces proper handling, monitoring and care. But based on our experience with this harvest, Dryferm has certainly earned a place in our list of methods worth exploring further. 💙🌸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ HAND TRIMMING — TIME TO GET THOSE SCISSORS READY! Once the flowers were ready, it was time for trimming. And yes, we went with the good old hand-trimming approach! We used our scissors and TrimBin to work through the harvest, carefully cleaning up the flowers and collecting the loose material along the way. The TrimBin is a particularly useful companion during this process. It provides a dedicated working surface, helps keep everything organised and catches the little bits that would otherwise end up all over the place. 😂 It's one of those simple pieces of equipment that makes a trimming session much more comfortable. And after spending so much time growing and documenting these flowers, it's always satisfying to finally see the finished buds taking shape. ──────────────────────── ? FROM TRIMMING TO GLASS JARS — THE CURING CHAPTER BEGINS After trimming, the flowers were transferred into glass jars for curing. And that's where Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is now! The drying stage is behind us, the trimming is complete, and we're moving into the next part of the journey. We'll continue keeping an eye on the flowers as they cure, because the story doesn't end when the scissors are put away. This is also where we'll have more time to appreciate how the aroma develops and how the overall flower profile evolves. For now, we're happy with what we're seeing. Beautiful little flowers, a lovely appearance and a very promising first impression. The more detailed evaluation will come with her dedicated Smoke Report. 🌸?💙 ──────────────────────── 📸 A FINAL LOOK BACK — FROM SEED TO HARVEST Looking back at the previous weeks, it's amazing how much material we've collected throughout this journey. We've documented her development from the early stages, followed her flowering progression, explored her colours and flower structures, and taken a deep dive into the macro world. We've also spent quite some time experimenting with focus stacking. Some photographs combined dozens, hundreds, and even more individual frames to reveal details that would otherwise be difficult to capture. Trichomes, resin-covered surfaces, pistils, tiny structures and all those little details that make macro photography so fascinating. And, of course, we had our unexpected visitors and a few funny moments along the way! 😂🔬 If you haven't seen those previous reports, I really recommend taking a look. There's much more to this girl than the final harvest numbers. Every stage contributed another piece to her story, and I want those details to remain part of her individual diary. ──────────────────────── 🌸 TWO SISTERS — TWO HARVESTS — ONE INTERESTING EXPERIENCE Now that both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes have completed their harvest journeys, we have another interesting comparison to add to the 8×8 Adventure. Pheno A finished with approximately 408 g wet and 51.2 g dry. Pheno B finished with approximately 400 g wet and 48.9 g dry. Very similar final numbers! Both remained compact, both took their time, and both rewarded us with beautiful flowers. Their final expressions weren't identical, particularly when it came to colour, but the overall experience was remarkably similar. And that's something I particularly enjoy about documenting individual phenotypes. Even when two plants follow a very similar path, it's worth preserving their individual results. We don't need to invent dramatic differences where there aren't any. Sometimes the interesting part is precisely how similar two individual plants can be. Same room. Same general treatment. Same cultivar. Two sisters with their own little personalities. 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── 🎬 WHAT'S NEXT? — THE SMOKE REPORT! Of course, we're not finished with Blueberry Muffin Pheno B just yet! The flowers are now safely stored in glass jars, and we'll be giving her a dedicated Smoke Report. Her sister already gave us a very interesting experience, and Pheno B has shown a remarkably similar profile so far. We'll explore the aroma, flavour, aftertaste and overall experience in more detail when we get to that report. For now, I'll leave a little mystery in the air. Or perhaps a little berry pie in the air! 😂?🥧 ──────────────────────── 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS — SMALL PLANT, BIG PERSONALITY! And here we are. Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B. Approximately 400 grams wet. 48.9 grams dry. Beautiful flowers, a more colourful final expression than her sister, and another successful harvest completed. She wasn't the tallest. She wasn't the fastest. And she certainly wasn't the biggest producer in the room. But she was a strong, resilient and easy-going girl throughout her journey. And sometimes that's exactly what makes a plant enjoyable to grow. The 8×8 Adventure was never about chasing the biggest numbers. It was about exploring different genetics, observing individual expressions, documenting the process and learning along the way. And this little Blueberry Muffin gave us another lovely chapter to add to that experiment. Small plant. Big personality. And a harvest we're very happy to have in the jars! 💙🌸? ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ADVENTURE A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore and document these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure and being part of the journey. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that expanded our lighting ecosystem. 💡🙏 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy.

Every view, comment, question and bit of encouragement is appreciated. ──────────────────────── 💚 GROWERS LOVE, MY FRIENDS! That's another beautiful chapter completed in the 8×8 Adventure. Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B has officially finished her journey from seed to harvest, and her flowers are now resting in their glass jars while the curing chapter begins. We'll be back with her Smoke Report, where we'll take a closer look at what this little lady has to offer. Until then, keep growing, keep observing, keep experimenting, and never forget to appreciate the little details. Because sometimes the smallest plants leave the biggest impressions. Growers Love, everyone! 🌱💚💙 See you in the next chapter of the 8×8 jungle... LET'S GROW! 💙🌸 💙 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B | Smoke Report 🌿 ? A Colourful Berry Pie — Same Delicious Profile, Her Own Beautiful Look! Well, my friends... We've finally reached the last chapter of Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B's journey! From a little seed in our 8×8 Adventure, through flowering, harvest, drying, trimming and curing, we've now had the opportunity to spend some quality time getting to know this beautiful girl. And after enjoying her for a while, I can tell you one thing: She's every bit as enjoyable as her sister! Interestingly, both phenotypes delivered remarkably similar smoking experiences. Their visual expressions were a little different, with Pheno B showing a more colourful appearance, but when it comes to aroma, flavour and effects, they have a lot in common. So, let's give this colourful little lady the attention she deserves! ──────────────────────── 👃 AROMA & FLAVOUR — A BERRY PIE FULL OF GOODNESS! Let's start with the most delicious part! Imagine a freshly baked pie filled with a mixture of sweet berries. That's the best way I can describe Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B. She's very sweet, with a lovely mixed-berry character that immediately catches your attention. But there's another layer underneath that sweetness. Strong earthy notes! These are particularly noticeable in the aftertaste, giving the overall profile a little more depth and character. You can also pick up those earthy tones when squeezing the dried flowers or doing a dry puff before smoking. The interesting thing is how closely the aroma and flavour follow one another. Sweet mixed berries upfront, followed by a deeper earthy finish. A very enjoyable combination! And just like her sister, she's definitely a little berry pie worth remembering. ?🥧💙 ──────────────────────── 🧠 EFFECTS & EXPERIENCE — CALM, HAPPY AND CREATIVE This is another area where both sisters have been remarkably similar. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B provides a very relaxing experience. It's that kind of calming effect that makes you feel comfortable, helps quieten the mind and allows you to slow down a little. But what I particularly enjoy is that she doesn't necessarily switch off the creative side of your brain. Quite the opposite! I've found her very enjoyable when editing photographs, creating content, writing and working on creative projects. There's a pleasant balance between relaxation and creativity. You're not necessarily looking for a burst of energy or something particularly stimulating. Instead, it's a calmer headspace, a happy feeling and enough mental room to let those creative ideas flow. For me, that's one of the nicest characteristics of this Blueberry Muffin profile. 💙 Relaxed 💙 Happy 💙 Creative 💙 Calming 💙 More relaxing than energising She's not the kind of girl I'd describe as an energetic daytime companion. She's more about slowing things down while keeping the creative wheels turning. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRESS & WELLBEING — MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Personally, I've found this profile particularly enjoyable when I want to unwind and take a little pressure off my mind. Stress and difficult moods are among the reasons people may explore different cannabis profiles, and the relaxing character I've experienced with Blueberry Muffin is certainly worth mentioning. Of course, individual experiences vary, and these observations are personal rather than medical advice or claims that this strain treats any condition. Everyone's endocannabinoid system and response can be different. But speaking purely from my own experience, she's a very pleasant companion when I'm looking for a calmer headspace. ──────────────────────── 💧 THE ONLY LITTLE COMPLAINT — DRY MOUTH! Well, we can't have everything, can we? 😂 Just like her sister, Pheno B brings that familiar dry-mouth feeling along for the ride. Cannabinoids can interact with receptors involved in salivary gland activity, which may temporarily reduce saliva production. Nothing particularly surprising for regular consumers, but certainly something worth mentioning. Keep yourself hydrated, have something to drink nearby, and give your mouth a little attention. Your future self will thank you! 😂💧 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE MACRO WORLD — TAKING DRY FLOWERS TO ANOTHER DIMENSION! Now, let's talk about something I absolutely love! Photography! And this time, we went deep into the macro world of the finished flowers. We've captured several focus-stacking sequences of Blueberry Muffin Pheno B, combining multiple photographs to reveal details that would be difficult to capture in a single image. And some of these stacks are quite something! We have sequences of: 📸 81 frames 📸 102 frames 📸 105 frames 📸 165 frames 📸 234 frames 📸 301 frames 📸 302 frames 📸 633 frames 📸 800 frames Yes, you read that correctly. 800 photographs combined into one final image! 😂🔬 For anyone unfamiliar with focus stacking, it's a photographic technique where multiple images are captured at different focus distances and combined into a single photograph with a much greater depth of field. At macro magnifications, the area in focus can be incredibly small. By combining multiple frames, we can reveal much more of the flower's structure and details. And that's exactly what we wanted to explore here. The textures, the trichomes, the flower structure, the colours and all those little details that make every bud unique. We're not simply photographing a dried flower. We're exploring a miniature world! 🔬🌸 ──────────────────────── 😂 A LITTLE ZAMNESIA PHOTO SESSION — UNEXPECTED PROPS! And now, a little behind-the-scenes fun! Zamnesia had sent me a few of their little care packages, including some condoms. And naturally, I couldn't resist finding a creative use for them in the photography session. 😂😂😂 Their message says: "We take care of your seeds." Well, apparently they really mean it! I thought it would be funny to incorporate the packaging into some of the photographs, surrounded by our beautiful Blueberry Muffin flowers. A little humour never hurts, especially when you're spending hours photographing tiny details and stacking hundreds of frames. And honestly, I think the result is quite entertaining! A beautiful flower, a playful Zamnesia message, and a photography session that took an unexpected turn. Thanks for the laughs, Zamnesia! 💙😂 ──────────────────────── 🌈 TWO SISTERS — ONE VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE One thing I really wanted to highlight in these individual reports is how similar both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes have been. Pheno A and Pheno B weren't identical in appearance. Pheno B developed a more colourful expression, particularly noticeable in the final flowers and photographs. But when it comes to the aroma, flavour and effects, the similarities are remarkable. Both delivered that sweet mixed-berry, pie-like profile, accompanied by earthy notes. Both provided a relaxing, happy and creative experience. And both have been very enjoyable to spend time with. It's another interesting observation from our 8×8 Adventure. Two individual phenotypes, sharing the same general environment, with slightly different visual expressions but remarkably similar experiences after harvest. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting each plant individually. The differences matter, but so do the similarities! 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── ⭐ FINAL VERDICT — A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE LADY! Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B has been a lovely experience from beginning to end. She may have been compact, and she certainly took her time during the grow, but she rewarded us with beautiful flowers and a very enjoyable profile. Her more colourful appearance makes her particularly attractive in the photographs, while her sweet berry flavour, earthy finish and relaxing, creative effects make her a pleasure to enjoy. If you like sweet berry profiles with a deeper earthy character and a relaxing experience that still leaves room for creativity, this girl is certainly worth exploring. And just like her sister, she has earned a special place in our little collection of memorable plants. Small plant. Big personality. Beautiful flowers. And a very tasty berry pie! ?🥧💙 ──────────────────────── 💚 FINAL THOUGHTS — TWO SISTERS, TWO BEAUTIFUL STORIES Looking back at the complete journey of both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes, I'm genuinely happy with what we discovered. They weren't the biggest plants in the 8×8. They weren't the fastest either. But they were easy-going, resilient and gave us two beautiful harvests with remarkably similar characteristics. And now, after all the growing, photographing, focus stacking, trimming and curing, we finally get to enjoy the results. Pheno A had her moment. Pheno B has hers. And both deserve their place in the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you, Zamnesia, for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful genetics and document their individual expressions. And thank you to everyone who has followed both diaries, enjoyed the photographs, shared comments and been part of this journey. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE ADVENTURE A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for making this journey possible. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and the additional fixtures that expanded our lighting ecosystem. 💡 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for the technology and environmental control supporting the room behind the scenes. And, of course, a big thank you to the GrowDiaries community!

And that's officially the end of our Blueberry Muffin Pheno B journey! From seed to harvest, from harvest to curing, and finally into the macro photography studio and the smoking experience. Two sisters. Two beautiful expressions. One very enjoyable genetic. Thank you for joining me on this adventure, my friends. Keep growing, keep experimenting, keep taking photographs, and never stop appreciating the little details. Because sometimes the smallest plants leave the biggest impressions. Growers Love, everyone! 💙🌱? LET'S GROW! 🌸💚

All good here, ain't no complaints yet...not that preoccupied by the LST method anymore. Also I'm gonna bloom when the plant is about 12 inches so prolly at the 8th week of veg.
