Week 4 Broad Mite still making victim. On this week I watered she with water + diatomaceous earth Still waiting for better days, I hope hv succes 😐 Apparently the diatomaceous earth is working against broadmite 😅

Day 42 they filled the tent at 7 weeks.. wow.

28.07.2025 Something is wrong with the stretchy pheno. She is already finishing up. The Flowers are still small. And she looks hardly overfed.. I'll give her one ore two more days and cut her down then. the other two look and smell great!

so its currently day 42 end of week 5 (start of week 6) but we are still currently in veg with no pistils or signs of flower little concerned i know she isnt male because the little pointy bits where the pistils for first sex signs come from are shaped with a point so i believe these are females? also the delay in flower maybe genetics or just down to the stress from lst and topping and constant defol im having to do as she is a fast grower cant keep the shoots of her mainlines, so this maybe the key factor here however due to my tent size etc im considering switching lighting to 12/12 to force flower but no this will impact yield for auto. so my dilemma is wait another week to 10 days taking her into 7.5 weeks veg hoping she flowers in between or before then or flip her into flower myself with bloom nuits and light change with as little stress as poss by adding extra shade hours to the start of her night cycle 🙏

Week 7 - day 43 Well what can I say these girls have made it to week 7 and are now on 12/12 for flowering, yes that also includes the zkittlez OG auto and my little babies at the front, I wanna see how they do on 12/12 for the rest of there growth 😁 overall each of them look amazingly healthy, nice thick stem, pistils already showing on a few and the auto has blown up with pistils! I can already tell these genetics are set to high standards! There now starting the stretch phase and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will start noticing some beautiful buds 😍 I have started feeding 2litres every 2-4 days depending, I'm really starting to connect with my girls and know exactly when they need feeding, I have tried to nurture them as best I can! And hopefully this will all pay off 😃 Humidity has been a little high lately, will try my best to lower this over the weekend, added a dehumidifier into the tent which really helps, the humidity seems to only rise when lights off, lights on it sites between 50-60% Going to book in some free time at the weekend to really do a nice defoliation on these, don't want to do too much though but definitely removing some of the fan leaves and popcorn sites on the lower parts of the plant 😎 the jungle has really taken shape now, I will try to keep you all updated! Thanks for tuning in and as always happy growing!! 180319 - well I did a little defoliation at the bottom of the plants to allow for better air circulation below and to get rid of popcorn branches and shaded fan leaves. I have also added the scrog net back and I am now arranging flower sites. Laughing buddhas took several days before showing any pistils but they are now coming through nicely which means it knows to flower!!! 😂 The humidity is still an issue when lights are off, the reason being is because the tent is getting too cold and therefore the humidity raises - for payday I will purchase a small portable heater and hopefully make room for it in the tent! I also left my girls unwatered for 4 days on purpose, this is the longest I have waited without watering but there were some springtail pests in the soil, although these don't do much harm to the plants I wanted to rid them as soon as possible and the easiest way is to dry out the environment as water and moisture is what they are attracted to. Looking forward to the next 2 months of flower!!!

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B | Week 4 Finding Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to develop independently and reveal the subtle differences that make every seed a unique expression of its genetics. Week 4 has been another exciting chapter across the entire room. The explosive growth that began last week has continued, and every day the garden feels a little more alive. Canopies are becoming denser, branches are reaching outward with confidence, and the room is slowly transforming into the miniature forest I imagined when this project first began. One thing that couldn’t go unnoticed this week was the environmental reading. 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room has developed a strange obsession with the number three. 😄 Although temperatures climbed higher than I’d normally like, the relatively high humidity helped soften the impact, and the plants rewarded the stable environment by continuing to grow with impressive vigor. Sometimes nature reminds us that consistency is just as important as chasing perfect numbers. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed As the room continues to develop, another interesting difference is appearing naturally. The lighting itself hasn’t been increased significantly this week. Instead, some phenotypes are simply growing faster and moving closer to the fixtures. Those taller plants are now receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter individuals remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that no two phenotypes read the same instruction manual. Even under identical conditions, every plant follows its own pace. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The feeding program has also continued evolving alongside the plants. During the first weeks the nutrient solution stayed around pH 5.8, maximizing nutrient availability while young root systems became established inside the containers. Now those root systems have expanded considerably, allowing a slight shift in strategy. Throughout this week the solution gradually moved toward pH 6.1, while nutrient strength steadily increased, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No major adjustments. No sudden jumps. Simply a gentle increase in concentration to match the plants’ increasing appetite. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest improvements, and this week’s growth has been a great example of that philosophy. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also gives the roots access to a broader spectrum of nutrients available within the substrate, helping support the increasing demands of this new stage of growth. As always, the goal remains the same: Listen to the plants, not the feeding chart. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B This young lady has been quietly writing one of my favourite stories inside the tent. Unlike her sister, who seemed determined to impress from almost the very beginning, Pheno B decided to keep everyone guessing. Her first weeks were… let’s call them creative. The leaf structure wasn’t quite what I expected, growth was a little unusual, and every new set of leaves felt like another clue in a mystery I hadn’t solved yet. Fast forward to Week 4… The mystery is starting to make sense. She’s finding her own rhythm. Looking at her now, it’s hard not to appreciate just how much progress she’s made over the course of a single week. The unusual appearance that once caught my attention is fading into the background as healthy, vigorous new growth begins taking over the canopy. She’s still not trying to imitate her sister—and honestly, I hope she never does. Every phenotype deserves to express itself. The structure is becoming noticeably fuller, with side branches beginning to establish themselves beneath the canopy while the main stem continues building upward with confidence. Internodal spacing remains compact, creating a nicely stacked framework that should provide plenty of future flowering sites. One detail I particularly enjoy is the contrast between the older and newer growth. Fresh leaves emerge in a bright lime-green colour full of energy before gradually darkening as they mature, giving the plant a vibrant appearance that changes almost daily. Looking deeper into the canopy, more secondary shoots are beginning to appear than I expected only a week ago. She seems to be quietly building herself from the inside out, strengthening her framework before making any dramatic moves upward. There’s something very satisfying about watching a plant overcome an uncertain beginning. She may not possess the textbook symmetry of Pheno A, but she’s developing a character entirely her own. And sometimes, those are the phenotypes that end up becoming unforgettable. ⸻ Looking Ahead Week 5 should be another exciting milestone. With nutrient demand increasing, root development well established, and the first signs of flowering beginning to appear throughout the room, I’m expecting another noticeable leap in development. Over the coming week I’ll be watching closely for: • Stretch progression as flowering begins. • Continued branch development. • Response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared to her sister phenotype. • How her unique architecture evolves as the canopy continues to fill. The slow start now feels like a distant memory. This week wasn’t about catching up anymore. It was about proving that she has every intention of writing her own story. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every phenotype has its own personality. Watching those personalities emerge is one of the greatest joys of growing. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

What can I say but wow this is the star of my grow room she has it all , stress tested , heat , cold , drought lol just a monster . The team at dinafem have created some thing special here she eats a lot and has the nicest colour around . Can't wait to see her in her flower and how much she can stretch out .. till next time Cana family

"Hey hey! Let's start with some exciting news, on the calendar it's day 91 of flowering. Phenotype number 1 finally matured on day 84 of flowering, I safely harvested, dried, and collected seeds, totaling approximately 1800 (no, I didn't count them). The goal was achieved, I gained a tremendous amount of experience, and now at least I have understanding. Lastly, I need to conduct a germination test to be sure. I already put a handful of seeds in a shot glass, next week I'll update on how it goes. Now, onto the not-so-great news, zelebob, aka number 3, refuses to give me its

Big yielder indica

Dia 134 y semana 6 de floración,ultimo dia de vida de las plantas. Este año ha sido un poco raro las plantas han crecido como monstruos tuvieron un crecimiento espectacular un tallo muy grande y junto con sus ramas flexibles y muy resistentes. Pero al llegar el engorde de floración no se porque les falto el empujon final para hinchar el cogollo, tiene muy buena pinta , mucha resina y muy fuerte buen olor pero me esperaba mas en la fase final. Cortamos ya que tambien habian orugas y no terminaba de eliminarlas por completo, la semana que viene era entera de lluvias así que decidi cortar un poco mas temprano para poder prevenir cualquier mal mayor, hay mucha gente que le gusta cortar antes de tiempo ya que el efecto es muy diferente, este año probaremos que tal.

they now started turning pur

I was away this week so she was being autofed every day for 3 hours which is about 1.5L every day. Notes Day 106 autofeed this weeks Day 107 autofeed this weeks Day 108 autofeed this weeks Day 109 autofeed this weeks Day 110 autofeed this weeks Day 111 autofeed this weeks Day 112 autofeed this weeks also manually water. 636 ppfd 27.5 Dli. Back in a week Take it easy.

So I accidentally erased my other journal so I restarted it with this. This week has been great she's frosting really nice getting fatter everyday and I will be flushing her on Wednesday. (Almost There)

Girl Scout Cookies Auto was suddenly ready to get chopped - I would've like to see a few more amber trichomes, but the fan leaves started yellowing faster, and more sugar leaves got crispy tips. Also, the smell got pretty strong over the last week or so. It was a very nice grow, and I'm curious on the yield and effect after drying and curing. Yuhbar Auto still needs a little more time, and will enjoy a few more days or weeks under the (artificial) sun, giving the trichomes more time to ripen.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Das war es für sie wir sehen uns in 3 Wochen mit dem Erntebericht 🤙. Bis in 3 Wochen
