So These girls are doing great in my unprofessional opinion lol. they all look like they could use a cleanup but man if I come at them again like Sweeny Todd I don't think they will make it haha. This is rolling into week 3 so I'm going to wait just a couple of days and then I'm going to hard Lolipop and defoliate just a wee tad more. I'm just worried I could herm one out and I don't really know what to do with that situation. I've been playing around with Great White and that's been fun but aside from that, I'm just weaving these tops through squares. those corners could be a problem but let me know in the comments if you think I need additional light in the center or your thoughts. OH, I ALMOST FRGT LOL! so I mixed microflora and aqua flakes B together and the plants might have sat in that while I cried for an hour over the hundreds in nutrients I just ruined lol. I dumped the system and redid it though so we gucci

? Blueberry Muffin โ€“ Pheno B Week 9 | Same Genetics. Completely Her Own Story. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another week of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ If you've been following these individual phenotype diaries, you already know that I absolutely love this part of the project. Because sometimes you can take two plants from the same cultivar... Give them the same environment. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same room. And still end up with two plants that look like they were given completely different instructions. That's exactly what we're seeing with these two Blueberry Muffins. And this girl? She's writing her own story. She's compact. She's lush. She's beautifully structured. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as flowering progresses. This week was another step toward giving her the space she needs to turn all that beautiful structure into flowers. So let's have a look at what our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has been doing. ?๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒฑ Week 9 โ€“ The Compact Sister Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has never been interested in becoming the tallest girl in the room. And honestly? I don't think she cares. She's approximately 75 cm tall, but height doesn't really tell the story with this phenotype. Her personality is in her density. She's compact. She's leafy. She's got a strong central structure with flowering sites distributed throughout the plant. And as flowering has progressed, that compact architecture has become even more obvious. This is where growing multiple phenotypes becomes so much fun. Her sister has her own architecture. This girl has hers. Neither one is trying to imitate the other. They're simply expressing what they have genetically programmed inside them. And I absolutely love it. ๐ŸŒธ Flowering Development โ€“ She's Filling the Space The flowers are now becoming much more established throughout the plant. The fresh white pistils are everywhere, and the individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly recognizable. What I particularly like about Pheno B is how much flower development she's carrying inside such a relatively compact structure. She's not using a huge amount of vertical space. She's using the space efficiently. Branches are filling in. Flowering sites are developing. The canopy is becoming increasingly dense. And this is where our job as growers changes slightly. Earlier in the grow, density was simply beautiful. Now that we're moving deeper into flower, we have to think about what that density means for: ๐Ÿ’จ Air movement ๐Ÿ’ก Light penetration ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Microclimate ๐Ÿ’ง Humidity management ๐ŸŒธ Flower development And that's exactly what we're doing this week. โœ‚๏ธ Cleaning the Canopy โ€“ Making Room Like her sister, Pheno B also received some selective defoliation this week. But there's an important distinction. We're not cleaning her because she's doing something wrong. We're cleaning her because she's doing too much of a good thing. ๐Ÿ˜„ She's naturally compact and very leafy. And as the flowers develop, some areas can become quite crowded. So we're opening her up a little. Removing selected leaves that are overlapping. Removing foliage that isn't contributing much anymore. Creating some breathing room around developing flowers. And generally making the architecture easier to manage. This isn't about stripping the plant. Far from it. She's still beautifully green. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage. We're simply creating a little more space between everything. Sometimes the best canopy is not the one with the most leaves. It's the one where every remaining leaf has room to work. ๐Ÿ’จ Airflow โ€“ Especially Important for This Girl This is probably even more relevant with Pheno B than it is with her sister. Because this girl is compact. And compact plants naturally create more areas where leaves and flowers can sit close together. That can be beautiful. But as flowers become denser, I don't want stagnant little pockets developing inside the canopy. Good airflow is one of those things you don't really notice when everything is working properly. And that's exactly how I like it. Air moving through the plant. Humidity being managed. No unnecessary congestion. No little hidden corners where moisture can sit. We're not trying to create a sterile plant. We're simply trying to make the environment less friendly to problems such as mildew or mould as flowering progresses. Prevention is always easier than dealing with a problem later. ๐Ÿ’ก She's Compact โ€“ So Let's Use the Photons This is another reason I like opening her up a little. At around 75 cm, she's not particularly tall. And that's perfectly fine. But when you have a compact flowering plant, I want to make sure the available photons can actually reach the places where they're useful. She already benefits from the additional light strategy we're running in the room, including the inner and under-canopy lighting. That's a huge advantage. But even with additional lighting, there's no reason to let unnecessary layers of foliage block one another if we can naturally improve the canopy. We're not trying to expose every flower directly to the light. We're simply creating pathways. Light pathways. Air pathways. And observation pathways. That's what this little cleanup is about. ๐ŸŒฟ Still One of the Lushest Girls in the Room And after the cleanup... Look at her. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still compact. And she's still unmistakably Pheno B. This is something I really wanted to preserve. I don't want to turn her into a completely different plant just because we removed some leaves. The phenotype is the phenotype. Our job isn't to erase that. Our job is to help her express it as efficiently as possible. And I think we're getting a really nice balance now. Enough foliage to power the plant. Enough space to let the canopy breathe. Enough structure to support the developing flowers. And enough visibility for us to actually see what's happening. That's a pretty good combination. ? Two Sisters โ€“ Two Personalities This comparison is becoming one of my favourite parts of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Because if you put Pheno A and Pheno B side by side, you can immediately see that they're related... but they're not identical. Pheno A has developed her own open architecture. Pheno B is the compact, lush sister. Pheno A has been a little more demanding in some areas. Pheno B has generally looked extremely comfortable with the current environment. And yet both plants are producing their own beautiful version of Blueberry Muffin. This is exactly why I don't like forcing every plant into the same training schedule. If I had tried to make these two plants behave identically, I'd have removed some of the most interesting information this grow is giving us. Instead, we're allowing the differences to remain visible. Same genetics. Different phenotype. Different personality. Different expression. And that's the story. โš—๏ธ Nutrition โ€“ No Need to Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.2 ml/L Pure Zym โ€“ 1 ml/L Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution is around: pH 6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And Pheno B continues looking very comfortable with it. She's maintaining that beautiful green colour. She's developing flowers. She's growing normally. And there are no obvious reasons to start changing the recipe simply for the sake of changing it. That's one of the things I've learned during this project. When the plant is happy... sometimes the smartest thing you can do is leave it alone. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The Room โ€“ Small Changes, Same Stability The environment has changed slightly compared with some of our earlier updates, but we're still maintaining a very stable room. Current conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€“ 29ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€“ 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€“ 60% โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.0 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€“ ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering โ€“ ~1.3 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature โ€“ 25.2ยฐC ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Substrate temperature โ€“ 25.6ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€“ 12/12 ? Pot size โ€“ 15 L So we're sitting around a 4ยฐC day/night temperature difference. And again, I don't look at any one number in isolation. Temperature interacts with humidity. Humidity interacts with transpiration. Light affects plant demand. Root-zone conditions affect water and nutrient uptake. Everything is connected. And at this point in flower, I'm particularly interested in keeping the relationship between those factors stable rather than chasing some theoretical perfect number. ๐Ÿ’จ Opening the Canopy Helps the Whole Room There's another reason I'm happy we cleaned her up this week. It's not just about Pheno B. When you've got a room full of flowering plants, every canopy contributes to the overall environment. More open foliage means air can move through more easily. More airflow means fewer stagnant pockets. And better movement through the room helps the environmental system do its job. Again, defoliation isn't a replacement for proper ventilation or environmental control. But good canopy architecture and good environmental management work together. And that's exactly what we're trying to achieve. ๐Ÿ”ฌ A Plant That's Becoming Easier to Read One thing I really appreciate about Pheno B is that she's becoming easier and easier to understand. At the beginning, we didn't know what she was going to become. Now we do. She's telling us: "I'm compact." "I'm vigorous." "I'm leafy." "I'm going to build my flowers inside this structure." And our response is simply: "Okay. Let's work with that." That's what I mean when I say grow with the plant, not against it. We're not trying to make her taller. We're not trying to make her look like Pheno A. We're not trying to turn her into something she's not. We're simply giving this particular phenotype the conditions and space she needs to perform. ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Doesn't Lie The photographs this week really show how much she's changed. The close-ups reveal those developing flowers and their increasingly defined structure. The wider photographs show just how much vegetation she's carrying around those flowers. And then there are the little details. The colour. The leaf posture. The branching. The way the flowers are distributed. Those details are why I love documenting individual phenotypes. A single photograph can show what the plant looks like. But a series of photographs over several weeks shows who the plant is becoming. And Pheno B is becoming a very beautiful little flowering plant. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead From here, I'm not looking to make any dramatic changes. The major framework is already there. The selective cleaning has given her some additional breathing room. The environment is stable. The feeding is stable. The flowers are developing. Now comes the part where patience becomes increasingly important. Over the coming week, I'll be watching for: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development ๐ŸŒฟ Increasing density around the flowering sites ๐Ÿ’Ž Early resin development ๐Ÿ’จ Continued airflow through the canopy ๐Ÿ’ง Stable water demand ๐ŸŒก๏ธ A stable flowering environment And most importantly... I'll be watching the plant. If she tells me she needs something, we'll respond. If she doesn't... we let her work. ๐Ÿ’ญ Final Thoughts โ€“ Her Own Little World There's something really satisfying about this plant. She isn't dramatic. She doesn't need to be. She's just beautiful. Compact. Lush. Healthy. And increasingly covered with developing flowers. And what's especially fascinating is that her sister is doing something completely different while receiving essentially the same treatment. That's the magic of phenotype hunting. You don't know exactly what you're going to get. You give the genetics the same opportunity. Then you watch. And eventually... they introduce themselves. Pheno B has introduced herself as the compact, lush, elegant sister. And I really like her. This week wasn't about changing her. It was about giving her a little more room to breathe. A little more room for photons to move through. A little more room for air. A little more room for those flowers to develop. And now... she's ready. The canopy is cleaner. The flowers are becoming more defined. The environment is stable. The nutrition is steady. And this beautiful little Blueberry Muffin is heading deeper into flower. Let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Because she may be the compact sister... but she's certainly not a small personality. ?๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore just how differently two phenotypes from the same cultivar can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the plants with the growing media and nutrition throughout the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the lighting that allows these twelve different genetics to perform under the same artificial sun. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable. And, of course, thank you to everyone in the GrowDiaries community. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing. It all makes this adventure more enjoyable. Two Blueberry Muffins. Two phenotypes. Two personalities. And we're nowhere near finished discovering what they can do. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š? See you next week with Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

@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. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.๐Ÿ˜ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

Time flies, we have arrived in a flash at day 16, it seems like the other day that the first young ladies were appearing on September 1st. "Do you remember.....nanannana Septermber" She is the Karen Kush, a brand new strain with almost no previous cultivation, it has a crazy name and from the first weeks of growth it actually seems a bit crazy. Low internodal distance, regular growth. I made a small mistake, I personally went a bit easy with the growth fertilizer and there is a slight beginning of nitrogen deficiency, but we solve it immediately by giving the normal doses, don't worry. Usually I am in line with the table now I was slightly under with the grow and I did wrong. Let it be clear that if you see a slight fading, next week you will not see it anymore. --- feeding program - As I mentioned I was shy with fertilization and the seedlings are slightly, very slightly faded, let's learn to notice these small signs and with the normal doses after two or three waterings we should be fine. You have to look at the plants guys. - Power Roots - 1ml/l - Alga Grow - 2 ml/l (instead of 4 ml/l I made this mistake) - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1ml/l - Vita Race - 0.5 ml/l - The 100% Organic pack by Plagron can be found on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html We are giving a lot of humidity with a humidifier and we oscillate between 65% and 70%. // Site Strain Description // Formidable genetics: These seeds contain the genes of Monster Bud Kush and White Widow. High THC content: With 24%, the effects are pronounced and intense. Fast flowering: This indica-dominant hybrid needs just 8โ€“9 weeks to reach harvest. Excellent yield potential: This plant is very generous, if grown in the right way! - Get a seed of this fantastic strain --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10780-zamnesia-seeds-karen-kush.html - Soil and Fertilizers entirely organic --- https://plagron.com/en buy on www.zamnesia.io - Growbox and air sistem --- https://www.secretjardin.com/ - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and music from www.radionula.com - Light - Sp3000 - https://marshydro.eu/ - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io

Io lo avevo detto che mi scattava qualcosa nel cervello.... Secondo me,col senno di poi,me lo ha detto la pianta... Ha detto tu fallo e basta...e io l ho fatto ma ci sono andato delicatamente.... Ma lei mi insultava,non sei buono a nulla neanche uno schiaffo sul ..... no scusate รจ un altra storia quella... comunque alla fine dopo aver tolto la punta ne ho tolto un altro pezzetto ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜œ

Pink Truffle is progressing very well into the final phase of flowering, showing a balanced structure with excellent flower stacking across every branch. The trained canopy has developed multiple uniform tops, each producing dense, well-defined buds with consistent size from the upper canopy to the secondary branches. Resin production has increased noticeably, with a thick layer of trichomes already covering the flowers and sugar leaves, giving the plant outstanding visual appeal. Buds continue to swell while maintaining good spacing and airflow, and the plant remains healthy with strong stems capable of supporting the increasing flower weight. Everything points toward a high-quality finish with excellent resin coverage and premium bag appeal.

Days 67 - 73 (from seed) 4/8/24 - 4/14/24 Lamp distance: 12" @ 75% power (estimate 800+ PAR from highest point of canopy) VPD: leaf surface temperature averaging 68-72 degrees - humidity set to 45% Feed schedule: Each plant receiving slowly downward now to 1/3 gallon water daily + once a week feeding schedule and additional FPE every third day IPM: visual inspection only, no foliar Notes: Flowers are really swelling up this week. All plants in the tent now showing signs of senescence with Cookies & Berries just barely fading. As the week went on their need for water has slowly diminished back down to roughly 1/3 gallon a day, but a day or two in there they also received their 1/2+ gallon daily. Usually can tell how much watering they need by lifting the pots and determining by weight/feel, or if there's any water run-off but that is quite uncommon/undesirable. Hot Damn! currently reeking the most out of them all, lots of sweet funk when you just get near it. Vanilla Fizz has a very mellow smell check until you do rub it then it's a cheesy/funk bomb. Cookies & Berries seems to have the lightest appearance of resin coverage and the least nose out of the tent - but when you rub it the resin is very very tacky and smells of chemical citrus fruit, maybe pine. Mango Sky is fairly mellow too but after touching the flowers it's bold and sticky, smells like menthol (to me, but not unanimous) and tropical fruits.

Holy jungle infestation batman!!! The buds haven't blown up in size like the other tent but they have grow expandability, well all but the front left one lol truly the runt of the tent there. I lowered the PPM of both the Co2 and feed this week because the plants looked a little worse for wear compared to my other tent. The 2 on the right are just over 5ft when you include the pot and trey. If this was my other tent I'd be screwed for space by now. Luckily this is a 4x4x7 tent so ive got some more room to spare. Even tho that one plant is small its still got a nice amount of bud growing on it. Be interesting to see what kind of yeld I get from the little guy when it's done compared to the other 3. I'm hoping the buds on the plants might fatten up a bit over the next week. Plant size... Brain cake #1 - 50" Brain cake #2 - 50" Brain cake #3 - 45.5" Brain cake #4 - 31.75 Well that's all for now, can't wait to see what the next week brings. Happy growing everyone!!!

Second auto grow in this tent. First try at this strain. The Mars hydro light puts out a true 115W. One plant (plant 2) has a leaf mutation. Soil is Nature's Care by Miracle Gro. I bought a few bags of it and the first two bags had gnats in the soil. The sticky paper took care of them on the last grow but I will keep an eye out for them in this grow.

So Leute nach dem toppen wuchsen 3/4 normal weiter eine wirkt leicht geschockt. Wรคchst aber langsam weiter. Die Paya Cookies ist immer noch leicht blass. Denke das die eine gefrรครŸige ist , versuche sie mit einer sonder Behandlung zu boosten mal schauen wie sie reagiert
