A week of noticeable growth acceleration and the appearance of the first pistils. As the days passed, the substrate became compacted and it was necessary to fill the pots a little with more substrate.A week in which it was very cold and windy outside again, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable environment inside the grow tent. Since the grow tent is outside, I have to deal with this problem. Una semana de una clara aceleración en el crecimiento y la aparición de los primeros pistilos. Pasados los dias el sustrato se va apelmazando y tocó rellenar un poco las macetas con más sustrato. Una semana en la que volvió hacer mucho frío y viento en el exterior y me fue complicado mantener un mejor ambiente dentro del armario. Al tener el armario fuera de casa tengo que lidiar con este mal.

These should get the flip next week. just want them to fill the tent out a little more. They will also be getting a top dressing as well before the flip.

Great! Very happy now moving to the 3rd week cause they will still have 5 more weeks before the flush :3. I think i will have to change the pot of the mid yellow one is getting big

Week 5 flower is progressing well. bud sites are getting bigger with more pistils and trichs on leaves everyday. This will not be a 8 week strain I'm thinking 10 but will calibrate if necessary to get the full potential of this genetic as I can see she is a special one already!

2018-04-03 Week 14 Day 1 Not much to say, there isn't much drama going on in growroom 2, the only things I do is giving them water and nutes 2 - 3 times/week and making sure that the lamp don't burn the girls. I gave them 4 liters today, and since they live in smartpots I can see when the pot gets wet when watering the girls, but you could hardly notice that. They are getting thirsty 😛 The flowers are developing very good, they look really healthy and their colors are fine. Power Plant XL nr 1 is 67 cm Power Plant XL nr 2 is 66 cm 2018-04-04 Raised the lamp to it’s highest level and turned all girls 1/4 turn, it’s really hard to get in to the ladies in the back, I need to push the girls up against the walls on each side and crawl on the floor to be able to turn them and give them water/nutes. Damn these plants, why do they have to grow and become so BIG?! 😆💪 Added a new video, enjoy my SoG 😄 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

📅 D36 - 06/11 📜 Applied Defolation, LST and SCROG techniques ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 25 cm 📅 D38 - 08/11 📜 Raised EC ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 25 cm

So I haven’t mentioned it before but this is my first time growing autos ever. Through this grow I’ve learned a lot. I’ve played with these little gals and they’ve been talking to me and telling me how much better my next run is going to be. The farthest along is the pineapple og at about 6.5 weeks. Next up is the og kush at 5.5 weeks and man that one is not the prettiest but this f$cking turps bro! And last is the dream queen. She’s where I think I’m really going to shine in the tri grow. The other gals allowed me to learn with them and pass it on to her. Needless to say I think she’s going to be the best yielding lady. Gave them all some molasses juice and the frost is coming In. Anyone who’s watching this grow or just sees it scrolling thanks for checking it out! Have a good week growbros

I did her first water change on day 10 upped the nutrient dose and increased the reservior to 12 gallons. Gave her the first dose of armor si and humic acid. I topped her on day 12 to start 4 main branches. Will most likely top again and start training in about a week depending on how she wants to grow. The goal is a maximum of 5 weeks veg if they cooperate. They are under 240w qb and a galaxyhydro pulling about 140w for now. Will be adding more qb when I spread the buckets out.

Final Week of Veg - Transition to 12/12 This is the last week before flipping the HiHolyHigh cuts to the 12/12 cycle. Pre-flower Top Dress: I have applied a pre-flower top dress using Almicanna Kick Flip and Malted Barley. • Kick Flip: Provides all the necessary inputs for the upcoming flowering stage. • Malted Barley: Helps decompose the remaining organic matter in the soil, converting it into readily available nutrients while also strengthening the plants' natural defenses against potential attacks. Plant Status: • RS11: Unfortunately, it didn't keep up. It remains locked out and is now 20cm shorter than the rest of the canopy. I’ll keep the top to sample the quality and will try to clone it again for the next cycle. • Colorado Nightshifter & Runtz: Slightly shorter than the rest as they took longer to adapt, but they are well-developed and ready for a proper test. • The rest: Looking perfect and ready for the flip.

Exciting week watching the Pineapple started to bulk up and was looking great. The Purple Kush not so much. Fed when pots felt light and was consistent: Pineapple 8ml in 3800ml Ph between 6 - 6.2 Purple 6ml in 2750ml Ph between 6 - 6.1 *Pineapple was growing so fast, could not keep up with it in terms of training and nutrients.

No stretching this week, just buds fattering from now

Всем привет друзья! Очередная неделя с хвостиком. прошла успешно. Жирок на шишках начинает активно набирать. Куст мне очень нравится, с прекрасной генетикой. Всем добра и мира!

The end of week 1 has arrived. We all know how it goes. Just playing the waiting game. At this stage these girls are just working on building their root system. The roots should be hitting the reservoir in the bottom of the buckets soon then they should take off. Got the water pumping and the lights beaming 24 hours a day. Running a low dose of maxigro. Keeping the ph around 6. Will probably be topping them around day 12. Would be amazing if I can get them ready to switch to flower at the end of week 3. But for now I'm just going to check on them 420 times a day hoping they don't die. Might be back next week if they are alive. Happy growing!

11 July - harvest day Its time for dry

Week 2 - Godfather OG (Pheno A) 👑🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining us for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary so we can properly document individual development, compare genetic expressions, and follow each plant from seed to harvest. Rather than grouping multiple plants into a single report, every phenotype gets its own diary. Even sister plants can display different characteristics, growth habits, and personalities, and documenting those differences is one of the most rewarding aspects of this project. This entire run remains under a 12/12 light cycle from the very beginning. The goal is not maximum vegetative size but rather to explore genetic diversity, flowering behavior, structure, vigor, and phenotype variation throughout the complete life cycle. ⸻ Week 2 Overview Week 2 has been another exciting chapter inside the 8×8 Adventure. Across the room, plants continue transitioning from seedling development into active vegetative growth. Root systems are expanding, growth rates are accelerating, and the entire garden is responding positively to the gradual increase in nutrition. Lighting intensity has now increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s across the canopy, providing additional energy while remaining perfectly suited for young plants. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Watering remained measured and deliberate. Each plant received approximately: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Nutrition was gradually increased as plant response remained consistently positive. Week-ending values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire room continues displaying healthy color, strong vigor, and excellent development. ⸻ Godfather OG Pheno A This week belongs to one of the most charming personalities in the entire room. Godfather OG Pheno A continues growing beautifully and proving that perfection doesn’t always mean absolute symmetry. One of the early leaves remains slightly smaller than its counterpart, a tiny quirk that immediately gives this plant character. And honestly? We love it. Because despite that little asymmetry, everything else about this plant looks fantastic. Healthy color. Strong growth. Excellent structure. Beautiful leaf development. And a steadily increasing growth rate as the root system continues expanding beneath the surface. Sometimes those small imperfections are exactly what make a phenotype memorable. ⸻ Development Notes Week 2 showed very healthy progression from start to finish. The plant has continued building new growth consistently and now carries multiple layers of healthy foliage with excellent color throughout. The newest growth appears vigorous and clean, while the overall structure remains balanced and attractive. Five-finger leaves have now firmly entered the scene, marking another important milestone in development. Every new set of leaves looks stronger than the one before. The response to increased nutrition has been excellent, and there are no signs that the plant is struggling with the gradual increase in feeding levels. In fact, she seems to be enjoying every bit of it. ⸻ A Little Bit Funky, A Whole Lot Beautiful One thing I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is that she already has her own personality. That slightly smaller leaf could easily be viewed as a flaw. I don’t see it that way at all. To me, it’s one of those little details that makes a plant instantly recognizable when walking through the room. Nature rarely produces identical copies. And that’s exactly what makes growing from seed so interesting. Godfather OG Pheno A may have started with a small quirk, but she has transformed that quirk into part of her identity. The rest of the plant is developing so beautifully that the slight asymmetry simply becomes another chapter in her story. ⸻ Structure and Growth The overall architecture is becoming increasingly attractive. The plant is stacking nodes efficiently while maintaining healthy spacing between growth points. Leaf size continues increasing week after week, creating a fuller appearance and allowing the plant to capture more light with every passing day. The rich green coloration seen throughout the canopy suggests the roots are happy, the environment is stable, and nutrient uptake is progressing exactly as hoped. At this stage, there is very little to criticize. The plant simply looks healthy. And healthy plants are happy plants. ⸻ Room Life The room continues running smoothly as environmental conditions remain stable and consistent. The humidifier continues helping maintain ideal humidity levels for young plants, while airflow and environmental control remain carefully managed throughout the space. The gradual increase in nutrient strength has been well received by the entire room, and growth rates continue trending upward. As always, Mr. Baggy remains fully committed to his professional responsibilities. Current duties include: • Plant supervision • Environmental inspection • Photography assistance • Quality control management • Looking adorable while providing minimal actual labor Performance reviews remain ongoing. ⸻ Looking Ahead If current trends continue, next week should bring: • Faster vegetative growth • Larger five-finger leaf development • Additional node production • Increased stem thickness • More obvious phenotype characteristics • Continued canopy expansion I’m especially curious to see how the plant develops over the coming weeks and whether that small asymmetrical leaf remains one of her defining traits or simply becomes an early-life footnote. Either way, she is building an excellent foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another successful week for Godfather OG Pheno A. Healthy growth. Excellent color. Strong vigor. Beautiful structure. And just enough personality to make her stand out from the crowd. The slightly smaller leaf that first caught our attention is still there, but instead of being a weakness, it has become part of what makes this phenotype unique. Sometimes perfection isn’t about being identical. Sometimes perfection is about growing beautifully despite a few quirks. And this plant is doing exactly that. A huge thank you to everyone following along, supporting the project, sharing knowledge, and joining the journey. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all the partners helping make this adventure possible. And most importantly, thank you to the community. Your encouragement, ideas, discussions, and enthusiasm continue to make these diaries worthwhile. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. Growers Love 👑🌱💚

7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far. 7/21 I guess it rained last night. Oh well. It was blue skies for hours before dark. It must've rained late/early morning. I'm sure the app of plant doctor will be fine. Like I said I'm considering using citric acid as a foliar spray to help with the septoria and clean up any pests. I don't have enough pests to warrant spraying. I just don't want to put all my eggs in the plant doctor basket. Today is overcast and windy. The wind has really assisted in spreading this virus. I remove anything I see infected immediately and since these plants are reveges they have plenty of leaves. Plants are really stretching. I know I talk about the septoria a lot but realistically if someone looked through my garden they'd have a hard time spotting it. I don't want to exaggerate the problem but I don't like dealing with ANY fungus or molds. 7/22 It was 55° this morning when I went over. I defoliated some septoria leaves and a few that were fading or damaged. I saw almost a whole leaf eaten so it's probably a good idea to move forward with citric acid. I can add that to the plants I've already treated with plant doctor. This is the first year it's been so noticeable. It's the reveg 10th planet that started this off. Oh well. I've dealt with MUCH worse. Plants LOOK good (other than septoria leaves (on bottom of plant). Today is water day for me but it's been raining and it's a lot cooler today. Bags still had weight to them. I want them to have a proper wet dry cycle. Temps top out at 75° so I'll monitor during the day and if something NEEDS WATER I'll give it to it. I'm suprised I have ZERO WPM. The septoria is much more identifiable but pm is usual present in these conditions bur I don't have a spot of it. I may do some defoliation today. I also need to add supports for flowering but one thing at a time. EDIT: Went over around noon. 70°. Bags seem to be holding weight (it was easier to tell as ONE plant was substantially lighter than the rest) so I decided to hold off on watering. At least until tonight. There are three plants (at least that are going to NEED water). They look phenomenal now though and we've had lots of rain. Plan is to go over later and get the light ones and mix the water for the others so I can administer it in the morning quickly. I have an early doctor's appointment but I don't to overwater or water unnecessarily just because. But when you grow alone sometimes you need to do things when your able. I have people there that would help if I asked. And I have before but its late . I'm very grateful. I defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. They were all from the bottom of the plant. A couole wete bottom interior. I know there are worse things to contend with but still a pain. EDIT #2 WENT BACK AT FOUR AND PLANTS LOOKED FANTASTIC AND STILL HELD WEIGHT. THE REVEG MK ULTRA IN EARLY FLOWER "MAY" HAVE STARTED TO DROOP AND "SEEMED" LIGHT. THE LARGE SPECIAL KUSH FUETHEST IN FLOWER BY THE DOOR WAS ALSO EXRRENELY LIGHT. I HAVE AN EARLY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT BUT DONT WANT TO OVER WATER MY PLANTS JUST BECAUSE IM IN A HURRY. ITS COOLER THIS WEEK. 70 TODAY AND HIGH OF 80 TOMORROW BUT DAD SAID THATS NOT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. I MIXED UP ENOUGH WATER TO WATER EVERYTHING IN THE MORNING IF IT NEEDS IT. I HAVE AN IMPORTANT DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLY THAT WILL TAKE ME AWAY AND IM FEELING A LITTLE ILL SO I WANTED TO GET DONE WHAT I COULD TODAY. WATERED THE TWO THAT NEEDED IT WITH TWO GALLONS A PIECE (30GAL REVEG MK ULTRA AND THE BIG SPECIAL KUSH IN FRONT I DIDNT TOP THATS FLOWERING THE FASTEST. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN WAIT. 7/24 Surprisingly the plants still held weight this morning! The looked pretty good too! However its going to be highs in the 80's for the next 7 days. Since the plants still had some heft to them I watered everything just a gallon. I gave the 10s a half gallon and skipped the 50gal container plant. I think this is a good happy medium. I'm still seeing random septoria leaves but still no WPM. I defoliate daily sometimes a couple times. I need to get a minute to myself and add a foliar spray. I'll start with a dih Dr. Zymes while I'm looking into other products like bicilus (i have bt but its a different bicilus) or trichodermia. I need to feed sometime this week too. 7/25 Plants looked great this morning. I watered the 10th planet on the end that hadn't been watered in forever. I think I had been overwatering during those 100° days. I didn't water today as everything looks great and they don't seem to need it. I'll check later today. I did water the pink kush beside the 50 as it was much lighter (1/2 gal) to get it on par with the others. I'm starting to see pest damage as well so I think an app of Dr. Zymes would be a good idea. Both for pests and septoria. Plants are REALLY stretching. One special Kush is far ahead of the others. EDIT:WENT OVER AT NOON AND 4PM. PLANTS LOOKED GREAT APART FROM MIRE SEPTORIA ON THE 10TH PLANET. I NEED TO WATERING DIFFERENT IN THESE TEMPS. IT WAS BREEZY AND 80° BUT THE BAGS DIDNT FEEL TOTALLY LIGHT AND THE PLANTS LOOKED AWESOME! THE HUGE EARLY FLOWERING SPECIAL KUSH IS PRETTY DAMN LUGHT BUT ITS PRAYING AMD LOOKING GREAT. I DECIDED TO WATER AND FEED IN THE MORNING AND HOPFULLY APPLY A DR. ZYMES PRODUCT ON THE ENTIRE GARDEN IN THE EVENING. PLANTS LOOK HUNGRY AND I HAVE RANDOM PESTS. ITS MOSTLY FOR THE FUNGACIDE ASPECT. PLANT SOCTOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING GREAT ON TWO OUT OF THE THREE I USED IT ON. THE THIRD IS A REVEG AND HAS TONS OF FOLIAGE I NEED TO ADDRESS AND CLEAN OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SPIT OFF SOME SEPTORIA LEAVES A DAY OR TWO BEFORE ANOTHER APP IS DUE. I'M LOOKING INTO MY OPTIONS. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE A SURE DIRE WAY TO DEAL WITH LEAF SEPTORIA IN EARLY FLOWER HIT ME UP! IM NOT TOO WORRIED THOUGH. I CAN SUPPRESS IT ENOUGH IF I HAVE TO EVEN IF I GOTTA SPRAY THE LEAVES WITH THAT 9.0PH ALKALINE WATER.

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

not sure where the dry weight thing went but i dont fill in wet weight. who even weighs there whole plant? dry yield is 269gram of pure bud. Grown in a 22liter pot with biobizz lightmix soil and greenhousefeeding bio line this smells so hard that my neigbor called the cops. she even smelled it in her apartment so its game over for me because off this plant. never came across such a weed smelling strain in the 8 years that im growing. hope to be back in 6 months or so.
