week intel: its time to harvest top buds! because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. its crucial to get uniformed buds in terms of quality that you let the lower buds to get some extra air and especially light! then the pop corn buds quality will reach the top buds. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Day 22 she has more than doubled in height the past week. Growth is outstanding and leaves are a beautiful green. She is growing like a dream at the moment. Fed to runoff. Feeding now done once per day at lights on. Was once every other day. No signs of sex yet. Root zone Coco slurry ph test 1 tbsp coco 1.5 tbsp RO shaken and mixed thoroughl. 2 hrs waited and results are 5.9. Excellent!! Coco sample was taken before feeding. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method for nutes this run going great. Just using coco a+b, hydroguard to help with my benies, and silica blast to help strengthen branches and also doubles as the perfect ph buffer for my tap water. Using tap water left out for several days to de-chlorinate with a ppm of 180 has worked out great, no added calmag. Day 23 fed to runoff Day 24 Dory is thriving right now. Still no signs of sex. Her roommate ended up being a male and this isnt a coed dorm. Dory is now the sole resident, which may not be a bad thing and will give me more room to let her flourish. Added skeleton from my scrog to help support the tent walls from being sucked in from the exhaust fan. Fed to runoff Day 25 fed to runoff. She grew 2" overnight. Going to begin mild lst in a few days. Still no signs of sex. Angled second led panel to help penetrate lower part of plant. Day 26, she's finally revealed herself as a true classy lady ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜Š. I know this isnt a huge deal, but since her roommate turned up male, I was worried. The other plant was not a Dinafem Moby Dick. Fed HER to run off. She has also started to be a little more fragrent this week. Smells of pepper, mint, and tomato vine. Day 27 more and more calyx and pistils appearing and no signs of balls ๐Ÿ‘. She is definitely drinking more, coco was still damp but pot is getting lighter each time I go to feed. May set up drip system this weekend. Fed her to runoff. She's growing about an inch per day right now. I can only go about another 5 inches and I will run out of head room. Will LST her down a bit this weekend. Day 28 she drank herself nearly dry overnight. Installing drip system tomorrow. Fed to extra runoff since media was drier than I like it to be. Keep ppms in check. Before I install system tomorrow, I will slurry test root zone for pH. She grew another 2 inches last night for a total of 10 inches this week. She was just 4" tall at the start of 12/12 13 days ago. More pistils appearing. Due to concerns about head space and she shows no signs of slowing, I began mild lst. Removed 1 fan leaf for canopy penetration.

Week 19 of veg!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ would never of thought Iโ€™d of took it this long. The big switch to flower starts Monday! The plants been topped around 40 times over the 18 weeks, 18 cuttings that were taken 3 weeks ago. My first attempt at the lollipop technique , nice little defoliation and a good top dress of Dr organics living soil amendments. I have absolutely no idea whatโ€™s around the corner when this is flipped๐Ÿ˜… but the scrog nets deffo making an appearance๐Ÿ˜‚ keep an eye out for the diary of her little sisters, there already looking ๐Ÿ’ฅโ€ฆ untill next time ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป

gulag tercermundista vol. 2 'killer kush fast version de sweet seeds' , esta wea quedo tan flayte que debo mostrarlo en mi lengua madre, como si estuviera hablando alguien que fuera igual de aficionado que yo y tb le de brigido a los bongazos sordidos. weno :) , corregi algunos errores del cultivo anterior,cambiando tambien el sustrato a organic life light mix que fue una experiencia nueva* , que en conjunto a los tiempos que di pensando que seria un repollo indicon, bien confiao le di un mes y una semana de vegeta que pasaron volando se presento tuve un stretch asi de adolescente por lo que la moraleja que puedo dejar como en el contexto de asegurar una buena vegeta, sin saberlo la estaba vendiendo porque no es aprovechar el espacio, es agregar otro nivel de dificultad y riesgo en este caso fue una buena resolucion pero debo advertirlo xq si me hubiera entrao una plaga en flora estaria mas cagao que calsoncillo de milico ctm), fuera de eso tambien sirve no como referencia general de que es algo que te puede pasar con og kush y sus variantes, como esta , y tambien algo que tiene algo de rudelaris para acortar su floracion , al respecto , que 8 de 9 hayan dado diferente tipo de frutas, algunas de hermosa calidad. cultivar ahi es rapido, y se seca muy rapido en verano ctm , pero es un buen sustrato al menos pa germinar y primeras semanas de vegeta rinde, despues muestra carencia muy rapido pero tomenlo como algo bueno, vienen muy acomedidas - imagino que variara levemente lo que sea segun la calidad de agua pero es mejor esperar a que aparezcan sin alimentar o estar dando fertilizantes/estimulantes leves y la carencia tomarle como seรฑal que hay que darle mas comida, especialmente si pueden identificarlas acorde a su propio conocimiento. mi fertilizacion fue top veg, top bloom, top candy, barrier , hesi boost, calmag 2.0 de bac. razon de siempre - no es lo mejor de lo mejor pero es lo mejor que uso relacion precio/calidad porque les doy como chancho. regulo ph con acido citrico , no se mide ec, la temperatura si de hecho al agregar un nuevo termohigrometro descubri que tenia unos puntos ciegos donde no circulaba el calor y quede pal pico mi sistema big dick energy quedo destrosao en eficiencia, pero la tecnica de acumular ventiladores como enfermo, pudo sopesarlo vagamente , mi luxometro es precario pero efectivo , se llama esta wea se vuelve tan instintiva que podria identificar con mis ojos llenos de semen la elongacion causada por carencia de luz y seรฑales de exceso de luz y consiguiente masa calor que genera como cogollos y hojas blanqueadas, resequedad ambiental , y en algunos casos todo esto conlleva a crecimientos deformes dejan de ser tiernos como el fox-tailing. 9x weno, hubo una seleccion media charcha porque puse mas a germinar pensando que no me saldrian tantas pero como de 12, estas fueron como las mejores 9 o una wea asi, criterio de seleccion nivel la lista de schlinder, y weno,las macetas con las que comence fueron pot on pot premeditando su utilidad, luego la generica de 11 lt como tambien asi la luz se incremento y redujo para prevenir momentos que estuvieran a un parametro superior a 28c porque es mas facil reducir el calor que genero que extraerlo en este sistema precario y posiblemente canero, pero que se le puede presentar a mas de una persona , porque el calor ambiental q deben contrarestar puede ser un aliado o enemigo en muchas situaciones de la vida, como este pais presenta un calor extremo en el norte y un frio extremo al sure, imaginense las weas que uno hace por amor a la droga ctm incluyendo lo que los leen desde otros gulags , ser un dimmer humano weon simp por y para de la mota - lo digo por mi y por todos los que sigan leyendo a estas alturas xdddd . intente reusar una malla anterior para tambien prevenir que los cogollos cuando se elongen le peguen al foco y se quemen feo , una de scrog formal puede cumplir el mismo proposito si no tienen intencion de llenarla c:, las plagas son muy poco presente , lo unico que hago ahi es meter barrier debe en cuando en el riego, pero en flora no usaria foliar alguna cosa a menos que fuera una situacion briyida como hongos, que aqui tambien aqui en este espacio reventao, enganchar un hongo o plaga te hace piko altoke. cuidense chamos akakkakakaak meti luces de fiesta porque se ven cool de noche, y algunos pigmentos que genere los rayos uv para protegerse del clima culiao inhospito estilo guerrilla cyberpunk noventero que resulto esta wea fea. big gas leaks energumen@s qlz ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

I feel sorry for my plans this 2 weeks I haven't been able to look after them properly I've been working long shift with Christmas approaching there's no time for anything so I was pushing in a lot of nutrients into them and I caused a nutrients lockout .I have flush them out with just clean water at the right pH 6.5 and they are responding very well from now on I will continue to Baby them so they gave the best result possible within the circumstances of the plants. Thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Swapped the whole nutrient solution to a fresh one. Finally getting some more purple and buds are developing fine. Plant uses around 2 liters of water per day. Just took a few more leafs away for deeper light penetration. Smell is intensifying. Ph around 5.6, 1050ppm โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Nรคhrstofflรถsung einmal komplett gegen frische ausgetauscht. Endlich werden die Blรผten etwas mehr purple, entwickeln sich generell gut. Die Pflanze verbraucht ungefรคhr 2 l pro Tag.

Flowering described earlier than I expected, more than 1 week after the vegetation phase would be bigger and more beautiful, has an effect with pleasant sensations and euphoric as the sativa dominant is accustomed to the aroma of lemon and citrus.

๐Ÿ’™ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 ๐ŸŒฟ Blueberry Muffin โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’š Small, Beautiful & Moving at Her Own Damn Speed Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Still small. Still compact. Still beautiful. And still moving... at approximately the speed of a snail on holiday. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But you know what? I absolutely love her for it. Because every time I look at this girl, I see exactly the same thing: A beautiful little plant that simply refuses to rush. She's not trying to catch up with anybody. She's not trying to become a giant. She's not trying to compete with the bigger girls around her. She's just doing what Blueberry Muffin Pheno B apparently decided she wanted to do. Slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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 The 8ร—8 Adventure โ€” Same Room, Different Rhythms For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different expressions. That's the beauty of this experiment. The environment gives everyone the same general opportunity. The genetics decide what each plant does with that opportunity. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's made her decision very clearly. Stay small. Stay compact. Take your time. Build beautiful flowers. And apparently... make the grower wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Fair enough. I'm patient. 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 The Little One Keeps Doing Her Thing This girl hasn't suddenly decided to change personality. And I wouldn't want her to. She's still one of the smallest and most compact plants in the room. Around 75 cm. That's it. She's basically looking at all the girls around her and saying: "Yeah... I'm good down here." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? She is good. The plant looks beautiful. The structure is compact. The flowers are developing. The overall appearance remains healthy and vibrant. She's simply progressing much more slowly than many of her neighbours. And that's okay. Slow doesn't mean bad. Slow doesn't mean unsuccessful. Slow means... slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly what this phenotype is showing us. 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 Beautiful Flower Formation If you stop looking at her height for a moment... that's when she becomes really interesting. Because the flower formation is beautiful. The buds are developing within that compact framework, and there's something very satisfying about watching them slowly become more defined. She's not throwing huge amounts of vertical growth at us. She's not creating enormous distances between flowering sites. Instead, she's building within herself. Compact little structures. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing density. And plenty of character. This is another one of those plants where I keep thinking: "Okay... you're taking your sweet fucking time." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But then I look at the flowers and think: "Fine. I'll wait." 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”€ ๐ŸŒ Slow As Fuck โ€” But Beautiful Let's just say it honestly. She's slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Compared with many of the other girls in this room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is moving at a completely different rhythm. Some of the plants have already progressed much further. Some are showing much more obvious signs of maturity. Some are beginning to fade. Others are already looking much closer to their final form. And then there's this little girl... Still producing. Still developing. Still carrying plenty of fresh white hairs. Still looking like she has time. A lot of time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But here's the thing: She's not struggling. She's not looking unhappy. She's not looking like something is wrong. She's simply developing slowly. And that's a very important distinction. Her phenotype is telling us how she wants to move through this stage. So instead of trying to force her to catch up... we let her be herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? Still So Many White Hairs One of the things that really stands out when I compare her with some of the other girls in the room is the number of white pistils she's still carrying. There are a lot of them. ??? While several other plants are showing much more mature-looking flowers and increasingly changing pistil colours, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B still has plenty of fresh white hairs throughout her flowers. And to me, that's another visual reminder that she's simply not at the same point in the journey as some of her neighbours. She's still building. Still developing. Still adding to those flowers. And that's why I'm not looking at her and thinking: "Why aren't you further along?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Okay... you're just not done yet." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š That's perfectly fine. The plant gets the final vote. 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 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment continues under the upgraded Future of Grow setup. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's lighting ecosystem, giving us significantly more available lighting capability than we had before. After the initial increase pushed the PPFD higher than we wanted, we brought the output down to approximately 59% from the plug. We're still working around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally changing depending on plant height and position. And our little Blueberry Muffin? She's still making use of those photons. Just... slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Some plants take those photons and turn them into enormous structures. Some turn them into height. Some turn them into massive branches. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B appears to have decided: "I'll take my time and build my little flowers." And that's exactly what we're watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Same Photons. Different Interpretation. This is one of the things I never get tired of seeing in the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same lights. Same general environment. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. And yet... completely different results. The plants are essentially interpreting the same opportunity through their own genetic expression. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is giving us one of the more compact and slower expressions. And honestly? That's valuable information. Because if we had only one plant, we might look at her and think: "This is Blueberry Muffin." But because we're following individual phenotypes, we can see: "This is what THIS phenotype does." And that's much more interesting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฅฅ A Small Nutritional Adjustment For The Whole Room We also made a small adjustment to the base nutrition this week. Across the entire room, Terra Bloom has been reduced slightly from: ๐ŸŒธ 2.3 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒธ 2.0 ml/L This brought the solution strength down slightly as well. Current EC: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal 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 This is a small adjustment across the room rather than a plant-specific change. And again... we're not trying to force the plants into a particular schedule. We're simply adjusting the overall program as the room progresses. Blueberry Muffin gets the same opportunity as everyone else. Then she decides what to do with 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’ง Irrigation โ€” Still Consistent Current irrigation is around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And just like everything else in this room, we're watching the plants rather than trying to make them all behave identically. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B isn't consuming the room at the same pace as some of the larger girls. She's small. She's compact. She's developing slowly. And that's reflected in her overall behaviour. So we continue observing. Keep things consistent. And let her tell us if she wants something different. 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 12 โ€” Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 12 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 75 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approx. lighting output: ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.04 โšก EC: 2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25.2ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation: ~1.4 L per plant / 24h The room continues moving forward with the same overall environmental strategy. And our little Blueberry Muffin continues moving at... well... Blueberry Muffin speed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Compact As They Come I keep coming back to this because it's genuinely one of the most interesting characteristics of this phenotype. She's tiny. She's compact. And honestly? She couldn't be much smaller without becoming a bonsai. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But within that small structure, she's building a beautiful flowering plant. That's what makes her fascinating. The size is obvious. The development is less obvious if you only look at her from a distance. But spend some time looking closely... and there's a lot happening. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming more defined. The pistils are progressing. And she's slowly becoming more complete. She's simply doing it at her own pace. 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 This Is Why I Love Individual Phenotype Diaries Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is another perfect example of why I wanted to document the plants individually. If I only showed the entire room, she'd disappear among the bigger plants. But when you isolate her... you see the personality. You see the compact architecture. You see the flower formation. You see the development. You see the white pistils. You see the differences. And those differences are the experiment. We're not trying to make her behave like her sister. We're not trying to make her behave like the larger girls. We're simply documenting what she does. And she's doing something very clearly. She's taking her sweet time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’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”€ โœ‚๏ธ Still No Need To Interfere And once again... there's really no reason for me to go in there and start doing things just because I have scissors. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ The structure is already established. The plant is compact. The flowers are developing. The foliage is doing its job. She's not asking for anything. So I'm not going to manufacture work. This stage is about observation. Not constant manipulation. We're providing the environment. We're monitoring. We're responding if necessary. And otherwise... we let her grow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  The Plant Gets The Final Vote This principle becomes even more important with a phenotype like this. If I looked only at the calendar, I could easily think: "Week 12. Surely she should be further along." But the calendar doesn't grow the plant. The plant grows the plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is telling us: "Not yet." She's still producing fresh white hairs. She's still developing. She's still building. She's still green. She's still beautiful. So... not yet. And that's okay. We don't need to force the story to fit a calendar. We let the plant write 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”ฌ Slow Development Is Still Development I think this is worth saying because sometimes growers can get caught up in comparing plants. You look across the room and see another girl that is clearly further along. Then another. Then another. And suddenly you're wondering why your little plant isn't doing the same. But that's exactly why we're running this experiment. They're not supposed to be identical. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is showing us a slower flowering progression. And that's fascinating. Because the question isn't: "Why isn't she like them?" The question is: "What will she become if we let her continue?" That's what I want to discover. And honestly... I'm very curious. 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 One Of The Cutest Girls In The Room I'm just going to say it. She's adorable. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š There's something about this tiny little plant sitting there among all these larger flowering girls that makes me smile. She's not trying to compete. She's not demanding attention. She doesn't need to. She's just quietly doing her thing. And when you get close enough to see the flowers... you realize she's actually quite beautiful. Compact little structure. Beautiful flowering formation. Lots of fresh pistils. Increasing detail. And a whole lot of personality. She's the little girl of the room. And I absolutely love her. 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”ญ Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š I don't think she's anywhere near ready to finish yet. At least visually, she still looks like she has plenty of development ahead. The amount of white pistils she's carrying compared with many of the other plants tells us that her flowers are still progressing. And that's exactly what I'm interested in seeing. How much more will those flowers develop? How much more density will she build? How will the resin continue to evolve? When will the plant finally start showing us those stronger signs of maturity? I don't know. And I'm perfectly happy not knowing. Because that's the fun. Let's let her surprise us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœจ Final Thoughts โ€” Let The Little Girl Shine Week 12. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still doing exactly what Blueberry Muffin Pheno B does. She's small. She's compact. She's beautiful. She's slow. Very slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š But she's growing. And that's what matters. The flower formation is beautiful. The plant is healthy-looking. The structure is compact. The development is continuing. And there are still plenty of white hairs telling us that this girl isn't finished writing her story. She's moving at her own speed. And while that speed may sometimes make me laugh... "Come on, girl!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ I wouldn't change her. Because the whole point of this adventure is to discover these differences. This is her. This is what she's showing us. And I'm genuinely curious to see where that takes her. So we're not going to rush her. We're not going to force her. We're not going to compare her unfairly with the faster girls. We're simply going to give her what she needs... and let her keep doing her thing. Water. Nutrition. Light. Environment. Time. And a little bit of love. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ That's all she needs from us right now. And she can take care of the rest. So let's give this little beauty the spotlight. Let's appreciate the compactness. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate all those beautiful white hairs. Let's appreciate the fact that she's still moving forward. Slow as fuck... but forward. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And honestly? That's good enough for me. Keep growing, little girl. Keep taking your time. Keep building those flowers. And eventually... show us what you've been working on all this time. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these different individual phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure and for giving us the tools to adjust the program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that we're testing in this 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent watching these girls develop. It all becomes part of the story. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has certainly given us one of the more charming stories in this room. She's tiny. She's compact. She's slow. She's beautiful. She's still full of white pistils. And she's still moving. So we're going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep learning. And let this little girl write her story in her own time. Because sometimes... the slowest plant is the one that teaches you the most about patience. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. We're still watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

7/18 Plants are looking great. I was able to rearrange the plants so they have a little bit more space and so I can get around every plant. I have small random pest damage (i.e. I caught a four lined plant bug while hunting jpn beetles) but not enough h to warrant treatment. I will probably spray before flower. Sun's out amd plants were praying. I rotated a couple and it only took a few hours for them to "straighten out." I went to look again rhis morning and made the final determination to expand the cage. I'm looking for the 2x4's and the wire in the next couple days. The work that ive done now will but me sometime. I wonder how this rain impacted my soil. 7/19 Plants are looking fantastic. The stretch is starting. One purple punch looks like it's beginning to flower. I think I'm entering the transition period. Jpn beetle damage is evident but not significant. I defoliated a leaf with a a leafminwr or something in it. It's so much easier to get around the plants now. I'm seeing some chunks missing sporadically though. Went to the roses out back and found TONS of jpn beetleson top of each other reproducing. They destroyed that rose bush. I'm going to keep it as a trap plant. My dad's girlfriend wanted to spray it but that doesn't make sense as theflowers are all gone. Dad's grabbing the materials to extend the cage today I think. Right now I can get around every plant but the two big ones in the back. I just cant get to the backs of them and they are huge. Almost reaching the top of the cage. A 4'-6' extension will do wonders in flower. Can't wait. UPDATE: Dad got the 2x4's and we assembled the extension and attached it. He's grabbing the wire as I type this. This worked out beautifully. I had no idea how big the blueberry cheese in the 50 gallon was! This extension (4ft i think) is PERFECT! Then I can get a little extra wire and pull it out if I wanted to. I think I have another 2x4 that I'm going to use in the middle. Lots of great pics and a video I'll upload tomorrow. Hot af today and humidity still super high. Even the commercial dudes was surprised I don't have wpm l and that judging by some of my plants structure that I may do better than I think. I certainly hope so. I WATERED 3 GALLONS OVER THE WHOLE GARDEN. The blueberry cheese in smart pots were drooping. They drink far more water than tje others. I would've given more but we are supposed to have thunderstorms. I left my back tarp off for the night. It will increase airflow and wind is down. I feel like this is going to be my year. 7/20 I updated and loaded everything on the app but notjing would save. Did it again in the website hopfully this saves i didnt put it all up. Didn't water the plants today. Bags seemed okay weight wise. Good thing I did the extension yesterday because those three plants were drooping they were so thirsty. I focused most of the water yesterday on those plants that needed it. The others were somewhat dry but still had some weight. Like i said the blc drinks much more water than any of the other plants. I'm impressed with the growth I'm seeing. Especially since I have been being very stingy with the water and I've only fed like twice and that was just the kelp me/you and big bloom in negligible amounts. I'm watching for deficiencies. I'm just not seeing them. I'm picking up the wire and finishing the extension and then rearranging things. I'll update. UPDATE: WATERED 4 GALLONS CONCENTRATING ON THE PLANTS THAT WERE DROOPING THE MOST. FINISHED ENCLOSURE AND INCREASED PLANT SPACE. TRELLIS WILL GO UP THIS WEEK. VIDEOS WILL BE UPLOADED TOMORROW. 7/21 I should've watered more volume last night. I noticed two plants that seemed much lighter than the rest. After some deliberation I gave them each a half gallon of water. One was the purple punch in the 10 that's huge amd the other was that huge blueberry cheese. I think I'm going to swap places with them, take out a pallet and get some other way to elevate that ONE plant and I'll have even more room. Then I'll add my supports. It's a dream working in there now. I noticed some small interior leaves being used up and dieing. I defoliated them but it was only a couple. I'll need to start nutes at some point. Doesn't need it yet though. I'm going to add some kelp me/you for the heat stress. I need to get the watering down better but it's more difficult when they each have different needs. I kinda have to read the plant. I'd rather be overwatered than underwatered. I tried to upload what I could but some won't. UPDATE: I went over to clip off some fencing that was doubled up AND just to check on tge girls. Found two caterpillars (small but hairy so they were older not the inch worms and possibly what has been contributing to damage on those plants. Things are spread out so it will be harder for insects to move from plant to plant and I have better air flow. I worry that leaving my tarp off might lead to high winds and plants not able to take it buf I digress. I'll add supports later. Plants are huge and drinking far more water than I've been giving them. When I got there several were drooped right over and dry as a bone. The bags are essentially all roots now. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and split it between the plants. I gave less to the two Co trainer plants that weren't drooping and the 10 I watered yesterday that wasn't drooping but for the most part the ones that needed if got at least a gallon or more. The others a little under a gallon. It might rain A LITTLE tonight too. Oh, and since it's been so hot I added 1/2 tsp per gallon of kelp me kelp you to help the plants deal with heat stress. I also noticed that some of the very bottom interior leaves are being used up. I have a feeling ill need to switch to nutes pretty soon. Plus I need to suppirt those plants if I'm going to leave that tarp off and Gove them air. Took a video. But it won't upload here. I'll have to wait till tomm. 7/22 Didn't have much timevthis morning bit I dod a video. Boy those plants loved that water and that kelp. This morning everyone was standing straight up at attention. Supposed to get rain last night but didn't. Good thing I watered. I think I'm going to up the water next watering and then again to the 10% mark if necessary. Especially with the Blueberry cheeses. I'm noticing that a FEW INTERIOR leaves are showing nute deficiencies so I'm probably going to have to start feeding soon. I'll update later. UPDATE: Went back over and cut off the extra wire. I'm going to need to water more volume. Specifically on two plants. The two huge blueberry cheese in 20 gallon smart bags dries out much faster than the rest. I'll have to out that on a different schedule or increase the amount given. Next watering will be 1.5 or 2 gallons a plant and it might be tomorrow from what I was seeing. It's super hot and with the added airflow the bags dry out faster. I also went through EACH plant looking for pests and defoliating old leaves that needed it. Plants are still nice and green but a VERY few older interior leaves are showing deficiencies. I know this is Normal especially since they are trying n g to transition to flower. I also saw pest damage on a couple plants. Four lined plant bug. I already found the one on the other plant and killed it but I'm considering doing a spray before flower. I'm thinking either captain Jack as a "catch all", BT which works great but mostly just on pillars or the organocide bee safe 3 in one pesticide. I also have pyrethium and other things. Thus far picking things off manually has been good enough. At the very least they will get an application of BT very soon. 7/23 Held off on watering this morning. Supposed to get thunder storms I DID split a gallon with two blueberry cheese that were the lightest in the 20 gallon smart pots. Thet drink way more. My water volume is going to need to increase. We haven't had nearly enough rain. I'm going to bump it up to 1.5 to 2 gallons each plant which will be 10% for the 20s and a little less for the others. I'm still seeing various pest damage. Nothing bad but I found another couples leaves that were chomped on by a four lined plant bug so I'm debating applying something tonight when I water. I'm also noticing old leaves being used up and some interior leaves showing slight deficiencies. It will be time to start nutes soon. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT THE FEELING I NEEDED TO CHECK THE PLANTS. SOMETHING DODNT LOOK RIGHT ON THE CAMS. WENT OVER AND EVERY PLANT BUT THE TWO I SPLIT A GALLON WITH AND THE PLANT IN THE 50 WERE DROOPED RIGHT OVER. LIFELESS. I SHOULD'VE WATERED THIS MORNING BUT I DIDNT HAVE TIME. I FIGURED THEY COULD WAIT UNTIL NIGHT. EACH PLANT GOT 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST. I USED SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN GALLONS ON THE GARDEN. I GAVE EACH CONTAINER PLANT ONE GALLON AND GOT RUN OFF FROM BOTH. IM NOTICING SKIGHT FADING IN LEAVES BUT IM NOT INTRODUCING NUTES TO UNDERWATERED PLANTS. I THINK 10% IS GONNA BE TGE MAGIC NUMBER. 2 GALLONS EACH. EVEN THE 10 GALLON SMART POT. ALMLST AS BIG AS THE 30S BUT DRIES OUT QUICKER. 7/24 Plants looked fantastic this morning. Defoliated a few leaves that needed it. Showed my commercial buddy and he said things looked fantastic. Since the soils still holding nutes and I'm not seeing many deficiencies I may hold off on feeding. I'm starting early flower now. I will be using nutes soon. I think ive got the watering schedule pretty much down.

Wow.. week 5 and she is really hungry I fed her 3 times this week (once every 2 days -ish) and sheโ€™s really making those pistils cluster like crazy. I have counted all the tops and it totaled to 26: - 7 strong tops (tallest tops) - 10 medium tops (above net) - 9 small tops (just above/touching net) Iโ€™ve introduced Bio-Heaven in order to increase nutrient intake by increasing her metabolism with amino acids, I will be able to maximize yield in a hot tent with that many tops. Letโ€™s hope it does its job with helping the plant process despite environmental stress :)

I did not top this girl, yet. Her top lowers started catching up to the top so I didnโ€™t want to stop her yet lol. But all in all sheโ€™s looking healthy.

Week was good they are nice and flush still didnโ€™t put up trellis but it will be done I am cleaning up the whole bottoms this week and Then will put up net once net is up it just going to make it harder for me cus I only have a small space to water and get to back of the plants but I can get back there thatโ€™s y Iโ€™m procrastinating on putting up net other then that plants are healthy and coming along nicely Iโ€™m trying to only focus on the fire og obviously u can see more plants in pictures but thereโ€™s only 3 fire ogs and they are all in front
