It’s the 9th week of flower and this run is slowly coming to an end. Mimosa is by far the fastest finisher here. In 8 weeks there is around 30 % amber trichomes in the top buds. A little too much for my taste. I ve reduced the ec in the medium of mimosas to around 1.0 and took the drippers out. Now they will dry out fully in around 1 or 2 days and I will chop. The rest is more or less similar and will go for about a week more.

04/13/25: The plants have now fully adjusted to their new environment, and all five are looking vibrant and happy. Leaf posture is strong, color is rich, and the canopy is filling in nicely. They’re handling the training and topping well, showing no signs of stress, and overall growth has remained consistent. While inspecting them before today’s round of training, I noticed what appear to be early signs of male pre-flowers on PP1 and PP4. It’s still too early to be certain, but it’s looking like I may already be down to three possible females. I’ll be keeping a close eye on them over the next week—things should become much more clear soon. Today I topped all five plants again—this time at the first node of each of the four main branches created from the last topping. This will help build out a broader, more evenly structured canopy. I also used plant ties to gently pull down each of the branches to open up light penetration across the plant. In addition to branch training, I used ties to lightly hold back some of the larger fan leaves on the lower two branches to help expose new growth sites. I’ll leave those fan leaves on for another 3 to 4 days as the new tops develop, then remove them to redirect energy upward and continue opening the structure. They were also watered today with a light nutrient mix, similar to last week’s. The plants still look very nutrient-rich, so there was no need to push the EC any higher just yet. Based on the current rate of uptake, I expect they’ll be ready for another watering in about 3 to 4 days. If anything noteworthy comes up—especially regarding sexing—I’ll update sooner. Otherwise, I’ll be back in a few days to document a light defoliation and any continued developments.

The ladies are looking great and the scents are amazing. The bud on the Runtz #1 looks insane, can't wait to see how it turns out. I'll check the trichomes under the microscope later, but I'm guessing the first one needs about 2 more weeks. Have a good one🏼

Right now I am just playing the waiting game with White Widow and Industrial Plant. Both have shown signs of maturation with their trichomes but neither one has a majority of milky trichomes yet. In hindsight, I should have waited until Industrial Plant was more mature before I started flushing her -- I've lost a few weeks that I could have been continuing to fatten her up. I added more bamboo rods and tied branches to them with some plant tape on both plants. White Widow's buds are rock hard and keep bending its branches so hopefully the extra support will help. I cut off the main cola and a side cola of Industrial Plant CBD due to bud rot that I failed to notice for roughly a week. After cutting out all of the bud rot I could find on Industrial Plant I checked over her and White Widow meticulously to make sure everything was kosher. I added a spare oscillating fan in the tent to try and improve air circulation in the room. I have had trouble with humidity and temperature shifts throughout this grow -- something I'll have to dial in as I progress. I imagine the climate shifts combined with how thick the main cola was probably contributed to the bud rot. Seedsman White Widow Auto is ready to be harvested as of Day 100. Over 2 days her trichomes really started to turn amber. I have started flushing her as of today and plan to harvest a day or two into the start of Week 15. As for Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD? I am thinking of just cutting my losses if her trichomes haven't gotten to at least majority-milky by the time White Widow gets chopped. She just looks mostly-dead and only wants a drink once every 7-10 days now. That and I have some new gear I really want to test out, as well as some different ideas for my second run that I've been itching to get started on.

What a beast! The main bud has really plumped up and looks absolutely gorgeous. I’ve trimmed off a few of the larger leaves. It smells delicious and looks very healthy.

Very busy have some white Dynamite seedlings started for hopefully more feminised strains. My dream is to open a seed company and become the best seed supplier! Thanks for the views. Seeds should be on eBay by tommorow (regular ones)

Easy trim✂️ The buds are solid like a diamond 💎💍 The smell : citrus pine & rosemary🍋🌲absolutely divine super fresh it’s a one way to the Mediterranean Sea☀️✈️

24.06. Tag 17 Die Pflanzen sehen super aus und wachsen sehr gut. ———————————————————-

Opened them both up and trimmed up some lower branches and the likes. Defoliation aswell on some leaves. Flower stretch under way ! Still having issues with one not absorbing what she needs was advised to up the ph in autopot res to 5.8 6.0 ph so have done so to see if that helps ! All in all looking good

Finally the stretched stopped. Cut about 10 tops bent about 20 with 90s. Still right in the lights. They are looking very happy even though they are so close to the light ( thanks to high c02 levels most likely.) Another week or 2 before I cut the temps and co2 levels down. Been trimming all leaves below light line. Stinky and brutally sticky I feel like Clark griswold with pine sap when ever I am bending the tops and such.. I think even with them being in the lights I will still get a few pounds of premium flower to smoke :)

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

Just a beautiful east growing plant. Added supplemental lighting due to the large canopies. I take a very hands off approach, let the gentics and the plant do it their way. Looks like it will live up to its name, so many buds on this girl.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Finding Her Own Spice There are always a few plants in a room that seem determined to compete for the crown. The tallest. The widest. The biggest. And then there are plants like Frosted Guava. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to make an impression. She has simply found her own way of doing things. Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A has continued developing with beautiful consistency. Her foliage remains lush and deeply green, her structure is filling out beautifully, and her flowers are becoming increasingly dense and noticeably frosty. The plant is now entering her fifth week of flowering, and the difference is becoming impossible to miss. She's eating photons. She's converting them into flowers. And slowly but surely, she's filling out everywhere. This girl is finding her own spice. And I really like it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – The Flowers Are Coming Into Their Own At approximately 120 cm, Frosted Guava may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't everything. What matters now is what she's doing with the structure she built. And she's doing a beautiful job. The stretch has largely settled, and the energy of the plant is increasingly directed toward developing the flowers. The individual bud sites are becoming much more substantial, with the flowers beginning to stack and fill along the branches. The most beautiful part right now is the contrast. Those deep green leaves surrounding flowers covered in bright white pistils create an almost electric appearance. The white hairs seem to be reaching in every direction, forming those beautiful little crowns around each developing flower. And beneath them, the flowers are beginning to gain real volume. They're no longer simply there. They're building. 🍃 Deep Green, Lush & Full of Life One of the first things that catches my eye when looking at Frosted Guava this week is the foliage. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look healthy, strong, and full of life, creating a lush backdrop for the developing flowers. There is something particularly satisfying about seeing this combination at this stage of flowering: deep green foliage + bright white pistils + increasing frost. The plant looks like she's completely comfortable in her environment. She's not trying to be something she's not. She's simply growing. And that's becoming her personality. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving The name Frosted Guava is starting to make more and more sense. Resin development is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers, and the developing frost is beginning to give the buds that beautiful sparkling appearance we've been waiting for. We're still far from the finished product, of course. But this is the stage where things start becoming really exciting. Every week, the flowers gain a little more structure. A little more volume. A little more frost. And a little more personality. The white pistils are still beautifully prominent, standing proudly away from the flowers and giving every bud site that classic flowering appearance. They're almost like little flags announcing: "We're not finished yet." And I certainly hope they're not. There's still plenty of work for these flowers to do. ☀️ Eating Photons This is one of my favourite parts of watching a plant develop. We can't actually see photosynthesis happening. But we can see the results. Light enters the canopy. Leaves capture those photons. And the plant turns that energy into growth, structure, flowers, and eventually the beautiful resin-covered buds we're watching develop week by week. Frosted Guava is doing exactly that right now. She's standing underneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, taking in the light, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues bringing additional illumination into the lower portions of the plant. And the response is becoming visible. She's filling out. She's building flower mass. She's turning energy into structure. The room might look like it's simply full of green plants and bright lights. But underneath all of that is an incredible biological process happening every second. And Frosted Guava is working. 💡 Light Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main source of light above the canopy, while Lumiflora continues supporting the lower flowering areas. At approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, the plants have plenty of photons available during this stage. The under-canopy lighting adds another layer to the system, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full and the foliage naturally creates more shade below the main canopy. I'm especially interested in watching how Frosted Guava's lower flowering sites develop as the flowers continue gaining size. But once again, I'm not going to write the ending before we reach it. The harvest will tell us what the photons actually accomplished. 🌿 A Plant Finding Her Own Personality This is probably what I appreciate most about Frosted Guava. She isn't trying to be the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to stretch endlessly toward the ceiling. She's simply developing her own shape. And now that the flowers are becoming more substantial, that individuality is becoming easier to appreciate. Some phenotypes announce themselves immediately. Others reveal themselves slowly. Frosted Guava feels like the second kind. She's quietly been building a foundation week after week, and now we're beginning to see the reward. A lush plant. Strong foliage. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing frost. And flowers that are slowly but surely filling out. She's finding her own spice. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains consistent this week: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Watering: approximately 1.3 L per 24 hours Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when the plant is responding beautifully. Consistency continues to be the name of the game. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with remarkably stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The combination of stable temperature, humidity, airflow, lighting and irrigation continues creating the environment I'm looking for throughout the flowering room. And Frosted Guava seems perfectly happy inside it. 🌬️ The 8×8 Is Becoming One Garden One of the most exciting things about this stage isn't just watching Frosted Guava. It's looking around the entire 8×8. What began as individual plants occupying their own little spaces has gradually transformed into one enormous flowering ecosystem. Every phenotype still has its own personality. Different structures. Different stretch. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. But together they're becoming one living canopy. And Frosted Guava has found her place within it. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate. She's simply contributing her own character to the garden. And that's exactly what this project was designed to show. 🔭 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue gaining volume and density, the frost should become increasingly obvious, and those beautiful white pistils will slowly begin telling us more about the plant's progression toward maturity. For now, though, I want to see her continue doing exactly what she's doing. Keep the leaves healthy. Keep eating photons. Keep building. Keep filling out. And keep showing us what this particular Frosted Guava phenotype has hidden inside her genetics. She's got her own rhythm. I'm just here to watch it unfold. ❤️ Final Thoughts – She Has Found Her Spice Frosted Guava doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to compete with anyone. She's Frosted Guava. And she's starting to look really, really good. The deep green foliage. The beautiful white pistils. The first serious signs of frost. The developing flower mass. The way she's gradually filling out across her branches. Everything is coming together. And perhaps that's the most satisfying part of growing different phenotypes together. You give them the same environment. The same philosophy. The same care. And then you step back and watch them tell you who they are. Frosted Guava is telling us now. She's elegant. She's consistent. She's lush. She's frosty. And she's got her own spice. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this adventure possible with these fantastic genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this journey on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and enthusiasm make documenting this entire 8×8 Adventure incredibly special. Until next week... Let's keep watching this girl eat photons and turn them into flowers. ☀️🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚
