Ended up flushing Mumma for about 10 days - got her ppm down real low. Night before harvest I set the timer so the light would not come back on in the morning before I harvested (I've seen people who swear by this and other who say it doesn't do anything but figured it couldn't hurt). At this point the other plants are pretty disappointing compared to Mumma so they aren't getting as much "love" lol.

Hi all, update from 27.6 2026. Very hot week 37 - 40ยฐC.The plants look like they need more watering. Unfortunately I don't get to them every day. I will be harvesting both purple feno lemon cherry cookies in about a week. I will leave the remaining plants for another two to three weeks. The largest gorilla has very leafy buds. Other gorillas have compact buds and look comparable.

I missed last week unfortunately due to a few things going on so there is quite a step up. ****Itโ€™s been in flower 9-10 days so far and all bar 3 are flowering nicely please look at the pictures of the plants that just donโ€™t seem to be budding? Are they duds or slow developers? Am I wasting my time or will they start too do you think?**** They are getting tall now and I have had to crank the extraction up a bit. Over the course of next week I am going to put them back into the smaller tents (half in each) with a scrog net to even the canopy out and add support them if they continue to grow taller Whacked the nutrients right up to near on 1500ppm and so far so good this 2nd week of flower they have shot up. Watering 5-600ml per 24 hours but to be honest I am going to up that over the coming days to near 800ml as they are almost drying out before I water again. Perhaps twice daily may come sooner than I think

Our Fruit Punch Automatic are both doing great. Remember that we are growing 1 Plant worked with the techniques and one left to grow without cutting techniques to preserve its speed. In this diary we find the open plant with a main linining that was quite successful. The plant is at short internodal distance and at the beginning it was difficult to handle it, now I can do it much much better. Comparison is the salt of experience so the plant in the other diary will be worked very differently go and see it to compare them. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Grow We sprayed Vita Race Foliare 3 ml/l. https://plagron.com/en The doubts about the compatibility between Pure Zym and mycorrhizae have been dispelled, they can get along according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html One of the best in recent years with a very high THC level -------------------------------------------------------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10965-zamnesia-seeds-fruit-punch-automatic.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Sativa strains are very rewarding to grow, but their long flowering times and their greater susceptibility to disease and overfertilization can make them a little more difficult to manage. Also, their imposing heights are less suitable for indoor use and can attract unwanted attention if grown outdoors. However, with the arrival of Fruit Punch Automatic, growing sativa strains at home just got a whole lot easier. Combining Skunk #1, Haze and ruderalis, Fruit Punch Auto is 70% sativa dominant and produces up to 21% THC, along with a delicious blend of terpenes. Plus, it can be grown indoors, outdoors and in greenhouses. With their bright green hues, golden pistils and thick layer of resin, Fruit Punch Auto buds always have a great appeal. When you smoke her, you will be amazed by her flavours, aromas and effects! As the name suggests, Fruit Punch Automatic boasts delicious tropical aromas reminiscent of banana, pineapple, mango and citrus. When you open the jars you will feel like you are in a tropical cocktail bar on an exotic beach. Fruit Punch Auto will delight your palate with pungent fruity notes followed by light notes of Skunk and spice on the exhale. Within minutes of your first hit, this potent sativa will stimulate your mind, leaving you in an energetic and carefree state, ideal for morning or daytime sessions, as well as social settings or creative pursuits. You can find the entire world of growing on Zamnesia and more, just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are fantastic and the old ones are no exception... --- // www.zamnesia.com

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ช BIG MAMA Is Still BIG MAMA โ€” Heavy, Beautiful & Getting LOUD! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š GUESS WHAT?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA! And when I say BIG MAMA... I mean BIG. I mean HEAVY. I mean this girl is getting to the point where the yo-yos are becoming part of the family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ Seriously, look at this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's carrying some serious weight. And she's demanding support like she owns the entire tent. Actually... she might have a point. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ This is no longer a situation where we simply look at her and admire the flowers. We look at her, admire the flowers, check the branches, check the support, and ask ourselves: "Okay, Big Mama... what else needs a yo-yo today?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ But honestly, I absolutely love seeing her like this. She's a substantial plant, with beautiful flowers and a presence that's impossible to ignore. And the aroma? Oh, Mama... You're doing very well in that department too! She's not quite as aggressively loud as her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, our famously unhappy girl who seems determined to announce her presence to the entire neighbourhood. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama has that same wonderful aromatic character. That same kind of appeal. That same beautiful profile. Just with a little less volume turned up to eleven. For now, anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ So this week, we're giving Big Mama her own spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Let's get into 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”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ WEEK 14 โ€” BIG MAMA MEANS BUSINESS If you've been following this diary, you already know this girl. She's not exactly the kind of plant that quietly disappears into the background. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. And now she's got weight. A LOT of weight. She's continuing to develop, and as she progresses, supporting her has become an important part of keeping those heavy branches where they need to be. The yo-yos are doing their job. The support is doing its job. And we're doing ours by keeping an eye on the plant and making sure she has the support she needs. At this stage, we're not trying to reinvent her structure. We're not trying to force her into a different shape. We're simply helping her carry what she's built. And what she's built is pretty damn impressive. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama has earned her name. No arguments. 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’ช HEAVY MAMA NEEDS HER YO-YOS! Let's talk about the obvious. This girl is heavy! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The flowers have developed to the point where the branches need plenty of support. And when I say plenty... I mean we're using yo-yos, checking the structure, and making sure the plant is supported properly. Because a plant can look beautiful in photographs, but when you're standing in front of her, you also have to deal with the physical reality of that structure. Branches carry weight. Flowers add weight. And as the plant develops, the support system becomes part of keeping everything stable. Big Mama is giving us a very practical reminder of that. She's not asking us to do some elaborate training routine. She's asking us to help support the plant she has become. And that's exactly what we're doing. No unnecessary drama. No trying to turn her into something she's not. Just supporting the structure, observing how she's carrying herself, and making adjustments when needed. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. Sometimes it's about making sure the work the plant has already done doesn't become a problem. And Big Mama has certainly done plenty of work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ NOT JUST BIG โ€” BEAUTIFULLY DEVELOPED Size is one thing. But what I really want to appreciate here is the overall plant. Big Mama isn't simply occupying space. She's developed her own structure, her own flower formation, and her own expression of these Godfather OG genetics. And that's what makes her interesting. We've followed her through the earlier stages. We've watched her grow. We've watched her fill her space. We've watched the flowers develop. And now we're looking at a substantial plant that needs a substantial amount of support. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's not the same plant we were looking at weeks ago. That's the whole point of documenting the journey. The photographs give us the visual timeline. The weekly updates give us the context. And when we put them together, we can appreciate the progression rather than judging the plant from one isolated moment. Big Mama has continued to evolve. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's looking beautiful. And she's approaching the later part of her journey in her own way. Let's give her credit for that. 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‘ƒ AND THAT AROMA... MAMA KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING! Okay. Let's get to one of my favourite subjects. The smell! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ”ฅ Big Mama is smelling amazing. And I really mean that. Her sister, Godfather OG Pheno A, has been particularly aggressive with her aroma. That girl has been making herself known from a different postcode. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ But Big Mama? She's giving us something very similar in character, with a little less intensity at the moment. And I love that comparison. Because we're not talking about two completely unrelated plants. We're looking at two individual Godfather OG phenotypes growing in the same room. And we're noticing similarities in their aromatic character, alongside differences in how strongly they express it. Pheno A is louder. Pheno B is a little more reserved. But Big Mama is absolutely holding her own. Her aroma is beautiful. Her presence is there. And she's giving us another reason to be curious about what the finished result will be like after harvest, drying, and curing. Of course, the aroma can change throughout those stages. What we're smelling now is part of the story, not the final verdict. We'll wait until the journey is complete before making any final claims about her cured profile. But right now? I'm very happy with what she's giving us. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ TWO SISTERS โ€” SIMILAR CHARACTER, DIFFERENT VOLUME This is one of the most interesting comparisons in the Godfather OG diaries. Godfather OG Pheno A and Godfather OG Pheno B. Two individual plants. Shared room. Shared general environment. Shared lighting ecosystem. Shared nutritional philosophy. And yet, each has her own personality. Pheno A has been our famously unhappy girl. She's had her difficulties, but she's also become incredibly aromatic. Pheno B, our Big Mama, has her own challenges and characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She needs plenty of support. And she's giving us an aroma that reminds me of her sister, even if she isn't quite as loud right now. That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. We can notice the similarities without pretending they're identical. We can appreciate the differences without automatically deciding one is better than the other. And we can remain curious about how those differences might develop through the rest of the journey. Same family. Different expressions. Two very interesting girls. And I'm looking forward to finding out how their final stories compare. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ 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 OUR JOB RIGHT NOW? SUPPORT, OBSERVE & LET HER FINISH This week, there's no dramatic new intervention to report. We're not trying to keep ourselves busy just for the sake of doing something. Big Mama has already built her structure. She's already developed her flowers. And she's already carrying a considerable amount of weight. So our focus is straightforward. Observe her. Maintain the shared environment. Provide the support she needs. Keep an eye on her overall development. And let her continue toward the finish. The yo-yos are doing their part. We're doing ours. And Big Mama is doing hers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ I genuinely enjoy this stage because it reminds me that being a grower isn't always about actively changing something. Sometimes it's about recognizing what the plant needs from you at that particular moment. Earlier in the cycle, our attention may have been on structure and development. Now, with Big Mama carrying so much weight, support and observation are a big part of the picture. We don't need to interfere unnecessarily. We need to pay attention. And when the plant needs us, we respond. Simple. Practical. And very much part of growing. 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 SAME ROOM โ€” TWELVE INDIVIDUAL STORIES For anyone discovering the 8ร—8 Adventure for the first time, here's the idea behind the project. We're following twelve individual plants and phenotypes sharing one room. They share the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation approach, and nutritional programme. But they don't all develop in the same way. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some develop different flower structures. Some move faster. Some take their time. Some need more physical support than others. And some make their presence known through their aroma. Big Mama is giving us a combination of several of those characteristics. She's substantial. She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's aromatic. And she needs plenty of support to carry the structure she's developed. That's her story. And it's different from her sister's story, even though they share the same genetic name. This is why we keep individual diaries. If we only documented the tent as a whole, we'd miss so much of what makes each plant interesting. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. One shared adventure. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ 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’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES Our upgraded lighting setup remains part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment included in the setup. We've been operating the upgraded setup at approximately 59% power from the plug, with our previous upper-canopy reference around 1,500 PPFD. Actual light intensity varies throughout the canopy depending on plant height, position, and distance from the fixtures. And that's important when we're looking at a plant like Big Mama. She's a substantial, three-dimensional plant, not a flat surface. Different parts of her structure sit at different heights and receive different amounts of light. The goal of this project is to observe how the different plants develop under the shared lighting environment, rather than assuming they'll all respond identically. Big Mama is giving us her own answer. She's developed a substantial structure, she's carrying plenty of weight, and she's moving through the later part of her journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this upgraded setup across twelve different phenotypes. More lighting capability, controlled output, and plenty of interesting differences to observe. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” KEEPING THE SCIENCE HONEST As with the other reports this week, let's also talk about our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. We're documenting this as part of the lighting routine used in the room. Plants respond to the spectrum and timing of light through several photoreceptor systems. One important example is the phytochrome system, which responds to red and far-red wavelengths and helps plants interpret their light environment. Those signals can influence plant development, but the response depends on the spectrum, intensity, timing, duration, and the plant's physiological state. That's why we need to be careful about making claims. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is an experimental part of our routine. We're not claiming it automatically increases yield, makes flowers denser, or guarantees a better finish. Those outcomes would require proper comparisons and measurements. We're documenting what we're doing, discussing the relevant science, and remaining open to what the evidence tells us. That's the approach I prefer. No magic promises. No pretending we know something we haven't measured. Just curiosity, observation, and honest documentation. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก 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 THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” WHY WAVELENGTHS MATTER While we're talking about light, it's worth revisiting the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect is an established phenomenon in photosynthesis in which combining certain red and far-red wavelengths can produce a greater-than-expected photosynthetic response under the relevant experimental conditions. This involves the cooperation of two major photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both are essential components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Their light-absorption characteristics differ, and supplying suitable wavelengths together can improve the balance between their activity under certain conditions. That's the fascinating science behind the phenomenon. However, the Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment automatically produces the same response. Red and far-red light are not interchangeable, and the results depend on the specific wavelengths, their intensity, and the conditions of exposure. So while it's interesting to discuss the Emerson effect alongside our lighting experiments, we shouldn't automatically assume that our additional 15-minute red-light period reproduces it or provides a measurable benefit. To establish that, we'd need suitable spectral information and controlled comparisons. The science is real. The potential interactions are fascinating. But the outcome of our particular routine still needs evidence. And I think it's much more valuable to explain that honestly than to promise results we haven't demonstrated. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” CONSISTENCY WHILE WE OBSERVE The previous nutritional reference for the room was: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous solution readings were approximately pH 6.04 and EC 2.05 mS/cm. These are the last recorded room reference values, rather than a claim that every measurement was repeated this week. We're keeping the overall approach consistent while observing the plants' individual progress. For Big Mama, the physical side of the story is becoming particularly noticeable. She's heavy. She's carrying substantial flowers. And she's asking for plenty of structural support. That's where our attention is going right now: observing her development, supporting the plant where necessary, and allowing her to continue through the final part of her journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The previous shared room reference readings remain: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series, upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L Same general room.

She's heavy, she's beautiful, and she's becoming increasingly interesting as we approach the end of the journey. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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“ธ BIG MAMA DESERVES HER PORTRAITS One of the things I love about these individual diaries is being able to look back through the photographs and follow the progression. The early structure. The development. The flowers. The changes. And now, the substantial plant we're looking at today. Big Mama has a presence that's difficult to miss. And as she gets heavier, the support system becomes another part of her visual story. Those yo-yos aren't there for decoration. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช They're helping support the structure she's developed. I want to document that part of the journey too, because growing isn't only about showing beautiful flowers. It's also about showing what it takes to keep a plant supported and stable as it develops. The photographs preserve those details. The weekly reports explain what we're seeing. And together, they give us a much more complete picture of the plant. 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’š BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE WITH HER SISTER I know I've mentioned her sister's aroma several times, but I want to make one thing clear. This isn't a competition where one phenotype has to defeat the other. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Pheno A has her own personality. She's had a difficult journey, and she's been incredibly expressive aromatically. Pheno B has her own personality too. She's substantial, heavy, beautiful, and giving us a very appealing aroma of her own. She may not be quite as loud at the moment, but that doesn't make her less interesting. They're individual plants. They can share similarities without being identical. And we can appreciate both without needing to declare a winner before the journey is complete. I'm enjoying the comparison. I'm enjoying the differences. And I'm especially looking forward to seeing how their individual stories continue through harvest, drying, and curing. Because that's where we'll get another opportunity to understand what makes each phenotype special. 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 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

She's still BIG MAMA. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช She's heavy. She's beautiful. She's carrying plenty of weight. She's demanding yo-yos and support. And she's smelling absolutely amazing. Her sister might currently be the louder one, but Big Mama has a similar aromatic character that I genuinely love. Different volume. Similar appeal. Two individual phenotypes with their own expressions. And I can't wait to see how their stories unfold from here. This week, we're not trying to do anything dramatic. We're supporting the plant. We're observing. We're maintaining the shared environment. And we're letting her continue toward the finish. Sometimes that's exactly what a plant needs from us. Not more interference. Not a new project. Just a grower paying attention and providing the support required. And Big Mama certainly needs that support now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ She's done the hard work of building herself. Now we're helping her carry it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate her size. Let's appreciate her flowers. Let's appreciate that beautiful aroma. Let's appreciate the individuality of this phenotype. And let's remember that the 8ร—8 Adventure isn't about making twelve plants look the same. It's about discovering what makes each one different. Big Mama has given us plenty to appreciate. And she's not finished telling her story yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing your thing.

Looks like the stretch has officially come to an end and with it, the first signs of trichome production have started to show up!โœจ Unfortunately, the plant stayed pretty small despite being in a 20L pot, which is a bit of a bummer. I was hoping for more size, but hey letโ€™s see what she can deliver in quality! Sometimes the small ones pack the biggest punch. ๐Ÿ˜ Excited to see how the buds develop from here!๐Ÿ˜Š

Had to move her to a smaller space with a weaker light. But she has the entire light to herself. I ended up giving her one more dose of cannacoco A and B and the pk 12/14 also by cannacoco. Will be flushing her with phโ€™s water at 6ish going forward. I may harvest her top buds first and give the lower buds some time to catch up.

Forming a nice cross shape. Filling out nicely Don't forget to pH up if you decide to try the maxigro. I use it every other watering, watering slowly until 10-15% runoff Day 33 super cropping like a boss.

Keine groรŸen Verรคnderungen in der ersten Blรผtewoche, ich habe nur den lรคstigen groรŸen Ventilator entfernt, da er mir zu viel Platz auf der Bodenflรคche genommen hat und am Ende der ersten Woche habe ich das Blattwerk ein wenig ausgedรผnnt, mal sehen wie sich das auf die weitere Blรผte auswirkt.

With all these 3 grows I have just harvested I have made them suffer through lack of watering due to family emergency where I was a day or two late watering them. But they have all thrived I have loved the footprint of this little lady she was so small and compact and still gave a good amount of top shelf weed would definitely recommend to anyone๐Ÿ™โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

Howdy, as requested by some fellow followers and growers, I took more media this time, to show the 2 shorter plants and the taller one. Photos have been taken in order to show the plant overall, the details of the colas and related tricomes and then there is a 4K video to better see the situation. I hope that you can like it ^^ Plants kept the same height: (31-31-69cm) = (12-12-27 inches) Temperatures were warm, most of the week above +30ยฐ (86F), air was dry and sun was strong. Plants got water early in the morning and in the evening after the sun. Please provide a feedback about the maturation of the plants, this should be the 5th completed flowering week. I am still struggling to understand why this year the plants sucked so much in size, even comparing with other autos I grew One plant has trauma from a bird pulling out the seed's plantling twice and I can understand, but what about the other replaced plant that shares the same height and did not have the same trauma? The only big change that I did this year was to follow this advice from YouTube, they explained since auto-flowering plants have a very short living cycle, to avoid the trauma of transplantation, was better to put the cracked seed directly into the soil of the final growing pot. So I did, because it sounded smart, but results still show a worsening compared to previous years.
