Day 1 of Veg!: Both plants have shed their seeds and are turning towards the light. I was a little concerned with how they looked at first, very white, but I didn’t notice they broke ground for about 24hrs and the lights were off. They’ve got lots of color now! Day 3:These 2 are coming along awesome! Almost have the blumat system perfectly, soil is staying perfectly moist and the girls are loving it. Added a air stone to the reservoir of the Blumat System to ad oxygen and move the water around. Day 5: Plants are doing great. Steady growth right now. Still adjusting the blumat watering system to get it just right, but I’m almost there! It’s getting a little hotter during the day. In the high 70’s, but I’m okay with that for now. Lights are now at 75% Day 7: So my other seed never germinated. Put a new one in paper towel to see if it will go. Only problem is it will be 2 weeks behind by the time it comes up. I was really hoping to get a flat canopy all the way across the room, but who knows, may still be possible! Plants are loving the Gaia Green Living Soil mix, and today I just moved the blumat sensors to get a bit closer to the rootball.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B | Week 3 The Beautiful Oddball Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary, allowing us to follow each plant’s journey independently and observe how unique expressions emerge even between sisters sharing the same genetics. This week brought one of the largest environmental adjustments of the entire project so far. The lighting intensity was increased significantly, moving from approximately 370 µmol/m²/s PPFD to 700 µmol/m²/s PPFD at canopy level. Alongside the increase in light, nutrient strength and water consumption also rose to support the accelerating growth rate. The response throughout the room has been overwhelmingly positive. Growth has accelerated, internodes remain compact, and the plants appear eager for more. ⸻ Week 3 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 27.4°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% 💡 PPFD: ~700 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed 💦 Water Consumption: ~0.9–1.2L per day Feeding Schedule Days 18 * EC 1.0 * pH 5.99–6.0 * Approximately 1L Days 21 * EC 1.3 * pH 6.0 * Approximately 1.2L As always, consistency remains the goal. Stable environmental conditions allow the genetics to tell their story without unnecessary interference. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin Pheno B While her sister has spent the last week showing near textbook development, Pheno B continues to be the plant that makes me stop, smile, and ask questions. Not because she is perfect. Because she isn’t. And that is exactly why I like her. From the beginning this phenotype has carried a slightly unusual appearance. Certain leaves developed differently, growth patterns occasionally looked a little unconventional, and she never quite followed the same path as her sister. Yet despite all those quirks, she continues moving forward. Week after week. Healthy. Steady. Determined. Looking at her now, it is clear that she is gradually growing out of many of those early abnormalities. New growth is arriving cleaner, stronger, and more structured than before. The center of the plant is becoming increasingly organized, with fresh leaves stacking tightly around the apical growth tip. She remains slightly smaller than Pheno A, but she is far from struggling. In fact, she appears to be finding her rhythm. The canopy has expanded noticeably during the week, internodal spacing remains compact, and the plant is beginning to develop a stronger framework that should support future growth. One of the most interesting observations is how the newer leaves continue to improve with every passing node. The plant seems to be correcting itself naturally, producing increasingly normal foliage as it matures. It’s almost as if she needed a little extra time to figure out who she wanted to become. And honestly, those are often the plants that end up teaching us the most. While Pheno A currently wins the beauty contest, Pheno B wins the curiosity contest. Every time I look at her, I want to see what she does next. ⸻ Measuring Light: Why We Use a Quantum Sensor One of the biggest changes this week involved increasing PPFD levels throughout the room, so this feels like a good opportunity to talk about one of the most useful tools available to modern growers. The Dr. Meter Quantum Sensor To monitor light levels, I use the Dr. Meter Quantum Sensor, a tool designed specifically to measure Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD). Rather than measuring brightness the way our eyes perceive it, a quantum sensor measures the photons that plants can actually use for photosynthesis. This is an important distinction. Plants don’t care how bright a light looks to us. They care about how many usable photons are reaching the leaf surface. A quantum sensor allows growers to measure exactly that. Instead of guessing whether a plant is receiving too little or too much light, we can collect real data and make informed decisions. Why PPFD Matters PPFD tells us how many photosynthetically active photons reach a square meter every second. Measured in: µmol/m²/s This information helps answer important questions: * Is the plant receiving enough light to maximize growth? * Is the light intensity limiting development? * Are we approaching levels that could cause stress? * Can nutrient levels be increased safely alongside higher light intensity? This week, measurements showed the plants were capable of handling significantly more light than they were receiving previously. That gave us confidence to increase intensity from approximately 370 PPFD to 700 PPFD, while simultaneously increasing nutrient strength. The plants responded immediately with stronger growth and improved vigor. This is one of the biggest advantages of using a quantum sensor. Instead of guessing. We measure. Then we adjust. And finally we observe how the plant responds. ⸻ Looking Ahead The coming week should reveal even more about Pheno B’s personality. Key areas of interest include: * Continued normalization of new growth * Branch development * Structural differences compared to Pheno A * Response to increased PPFD * Overall vigor and growth rate She may not be the largest plant in the room. She may not be the prettiest. But she is quickly becoming one of the most interesting. And sometimes the plants that don’t follow the script end up writing the best chapters. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this adventure and supporting these diaries. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for creating a space where growers can learn, experiment, and share knowledge together. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition and cultivation support behind this project. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower, reader, supporter, and fellow plant enthusiast who takes a moment to stop by, leave a comment, ask a question, or simply follow along. The journey continues. 🌱💚? Growers Love and see you next week, little oddball. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

3 weeks into flower and all seem to be doing very well, getting a nice smell now when i open my tent, can not wait till these are ready to harvest, started to frost up now and all covered in trichomes, impressed with both the mimosa evo and tropicana banana upto now both seem to be forming nice dense flowers and the both strains have grew well from the start other than my wrong doing giving them a early shock and stunting them but theyve bounced back lovely and from how its looking its going to produce some nice smoke, cant wait thanks again barneys for suppyling me them to test out and create a diary on, see you next week for the latest update 👊

12/18 4am CANNAKAN!!!! Giving my FAST Flowers a try. A late spring early summer grow. CannaKan is my new best friend, I had a 100 per cent success rate last time!!! Ok I got it all done at 5:30 am, I set the Temp to 88 MPH or the Time Machine wont work, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! Marty will meet me in the parking lot at the mall, I have a great feeling about this. 11am Room temperature is 73. Heating Pad set to 88. Water temp 77.7 PERFECT!! 2:30pm blue dream is already starting to open. I think Tropicana cookies looks like she’s opening a little bit. They should all be open by tomorrow. It’s only been about nine hours.👍👍. 11:30pm They all opened. I drained the water put in new distilled water, made sure water level was right. Looks great!!!! 12/19 4am The temp looks good, all are opening nicely. I have to get the pots ready now, put on new stickers, they help identify the plants from different angles, especially in photos. Im doing a low power fast turn around grow in easy to move 1 gallon pots. They will all be topped above the 3rd node, then the bottom or 2nd to the bottom branches will be cut off to achieve a 4 cola grow. Very simple, easy to manage. 11am. 2:30pm, 5:30pm..so tired, finish in the morning. 12/20 12 am 1:30am Just finished TC & GS I had a little trouble seating GS, TC no problems, takes a while to learn. BD is still sprouting, not a long enough tail to bury yet. 9am I think im getting another CannaKan. 10am 👍👍👍 12/21 Put BD in the pot, not sure if she will go or not, I'm firing up the CannaKan and doing another, since its a photo I will keep it in Veg until my next grow cycle. I may do a full 3 gallon grow with this one and take clones, this is fun!!!! gardening, who knew? The new filter paper I got is a little thicker than what came with it takes longer to sink, more dramatic, I got medium in that blue box from amazon. 7am Tropicana Cookies is the Winner of fastest to sprout, she looks great! GS has the shell and skin, it could still fall naturally so I'll wait. BD is unchanged. Micro-surgery on TC got the skin off and she popped right open!! 12:30pm SUCCESS!!! 4 hours later, she's PERFECT, worked GREAT!!! I NEVER thought I would be able to do seed surgery. That was my 3rd time doing that, success every single time! 4pm looks good. 12/22 9am. all look great, GS is taking off VERY strong overnight, TC has taken root her main stalk is already thick!! BD #2 is almost ready. I kept BD#1 underwater too long...then I accidentally ripped her head off this morning......so really not my fault......shhhhh..... 1 pm BD looks perfect 🤩 almost ready. 330pm Did the transplant...I really need to work on that....so nervous when I do it. Im not paid for this but CannaKan is one of the best products Ive ever used. I need lots of practice planting the radicles ...""In botany, the radicle is the first part of a seedling (a growing plant embryo) to emerge from the seed during the process of germination. The radicle is the embryonic root of the plant, and grows downward in the soil (the shoot emerges from the plumule)""..... I had to look radicle up... It makes a complete difference, I dont lose seeds now It just a million times easier using CannaKan.

Flower day 22, I hope the stretch is finally over.. these girls are giants! So far they have just been given P.H water and 1 top dress of some Dr Forest bloom 2-8-4 dry amendments mixed with some bokashi, canna pro soil and some worm castings that I watered in using molasses. Loving how easy this grow is going, hopefully it stays that way until harvest :)

Week 9, switching to 12/12, canopy is leveled, plants looks ok, I have 2 monsters turning light green , I will put them on a Feed Water Feed W F... schedule, feeding them more often than the others until they kick back ! I don’t really like this, I might run into a serious Nitrogen deficiency in 3 weeks if I don’t take particular care with these 2 .... they will probably get a lil foliar spray with some N if it doesn’t go well !

New week, she is developing very fast now, we are tying the branches down almost every day. We bought an EC meter, and we finally know if we are within acceptable parameters. Tap water is approximately 70 ppm and after adding fertilizers the ppm was close to 850. We are also planning to make our own colloidal silver for use in clones. If all goes well, we will start flowering in the ninth week.

I have problems with her. I think it's because of the local water. the earth is not fertilized with any product. only earthworm humis.

Welcome growers Week n°4 ended for this nice AYAHUASCA PURPLE 😈 In the past seven days she has started to grow in growth and is now no longer the smallest in the garden 🌱🌳 The color is a nice green and the vigor is also good 💪 Solid lower branches.. I hope to seeing purple everywhere 🔥🔥 Anyway.. A few days ago i have decided to modificated her grow doing the topping technique ✂️ I would to have the same heightnes for all my ten strains in the garden and so, i decided to do it for all my ladyes (except one) I have also cut a couple of leafs off, not too much for now, just for increase the airflow and for a higher lights exposure of the lowers parts 🍃 For now she reacts pretty well.. For helping in this process, i have changed anothers things, like lights intensity and types of nutrients.. About the lights 💡 Doing that, i have increase the potency of my two Mars-Hydro SP3000, from 25% to 50% ⬆️ The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. Pretty useful 💯 In the middle of the week i have switch from 18/6 on/off to 16/8 on/off.. Always tryed to mimic the natural cycle of the sun light, works good to me 👌 Anyway.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i have giving her always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {This last one i have used in a foliar spray solution} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 And that's it.. Stay tuned, we'll see you at the end of week n°5 📆 The beginning of flowering 🌻 Thank you so much for stopping by 😎👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Servus Moin! Die F025 macht langsam richtig dicke Buds! Wenn man an ihr arbeitet, kommt immer so ein richtiger Oldschool Haze/Kush Hybrid Geruch entgegen. Ich hoffe sie wird mehr Richtung Haze terps gehen. Diese Woche wurde sie das letzte mal entlaubt, damit alle Buds genug Licht abbekommen.

I'm really not disappointed with the growth this week. All are doing well except the Royal Cheese but she is fighting against the damage. Keep Growing everyone! 👍

Week 8 and she is really starting to smell up the box. Getting a serious citrus pine smell. I picked up some free Sea Green (as long as I paid the shipping which was 5 bucks. Definitely worth it!!) from Primordial Solutions and used it for the first time. Hats off to the Primordial crew I would definitely recommend Sea Green to anyone because in the two feedings I’ve used it my girl has love love loved it. The leaves prayed up way more than usual. Her overall health seemed to improve and I honestly didn’t think her fine ass could get any better 😂😂, I was wrong!! She seems very happy and healthy so not much to report other than the NUGS LOOK TASTY!! Last day of the week and she developed a ton of orange pistols overnight.

Compact tops, short knots and swollen calyces—perfect indica-dominant pattern. Curled and swollen pistils with no signs of burning, resin in rapid densification visible even without lens. Healthy fan leaves, high internal ventilation and high density centralized light. The lateral expansion of the lower site buds begins thanks to the indirect under-canopy irradiation. Next defoliation scheduled to release light on the mid-low nodes. The nutritional regime continues AN + organic top dress, stable pH monitoring.

Beginning of week 4 in flowering and everything is coming along quite nicely. plants are loving there Remo nutes! just switched this tent over to a self watering drip system cause it was getting to be a real pain watering these girls by hand. Their siting in 7 gallon fabric pots and boy do they drink a mad amount of water/nutes! the pots are just packed with roots! really loving the Remo lineup of nutes so far! go Remo! Go Sports! Buds are starting to form nicely! Started to open up the bud sites a bit by tucking what i could but had to snip a few leaves up top to open a few lower sites up trying to get through.
