Auto black Opium is growing good. She had a rough start, but is cruising now. Everything is looking good. I did some more lst on her and defoliation as well. Thank you Spider Farmer, Divine Seeds, and Athena nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

420 Fastbuds FBT2301 Week 6 This week has been exciting for sure. Both have definitely transitioned into flower now showing flower sites everywhere. Had some calmag issues but I think we got that under control by upping the feeding to 1tsp per gal. Over all I'd say Happy Growing.

She's blown up and smells like grape kool aid mix poured into a cup of gasoline. Then look at that deep purple. Brother Geoff's selection is definitely a thing of beauty.We're adding some green sensation to the nutes and sticking to this autoflower feed and training schedule for the small tent I've put together that's really given me consistently quality harvests in limited space. Here's to another week of growth and flower development!

Another steady week thanks to @royalqueenseeds genetics 👌 Not much to report apart from the obvious swelling and increased trichomes coverage 🤓😁👍 See you all in the new year! 💐✌️😎💨

8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B 💚 The Little One Keeps Shining Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you already know exactly what makes this girl special. She's small. She's slow. She's compact. She's beautifully green. And somehow... she keeps getting more beautiful every week. 😂💚 While some of the plants around her have been stretching, reaching and trying to occupy every possible centimetre of the room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has remained completely committed to her own philosophy. Stay small. Build flowers. Look beautiful. Take your time. And honestly? I respect it. This week isn't about dramatic intervention. It's about watching her continue to develop while we give her exactly what she needs. Because at this stage of flowering... sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply let the plant finish her story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – The Quiet Stage Of Flowering We're now at that interesting point in the flowering cycle where the major structural work is already behind us. The plant has her architecture. The flowering sites are established. The roots are established. The irrigation system is running. The nutrition is established. The lighting is in place. And now... the flowers get to do the talking. That's exactly where Pheno B is right now. We're not constantly reaching into the canopy. We're not trying to reshape her. We're not trying to make her taller. We're not trying to make her behave like another phenotype. We're simply observing. Watering. Feeding. Monitoring the environment. Checking the flowers. And making adjustments only where the plants actually ask for them. Pheno B isn't asking for much. She's just quietly getting on with the job. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Small Doesn't Mean She's Not Working This little girl continues proving one of my favourite points from the entire 8×8 Adventure: Height isn't everything. At around 75 cm, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still one of the smallest plants in the room. But look at her. She's lush. She's green. She's full of flowering sites. She's compact. She's developing density. And she's filling her available space extremely well. She's not wasting energy trying to become a giant. She's simply using the architecture she has. And that's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't always get what you expect. Sometimes the plant gives you something completely different from the picture you had in your head. And instead of fighting it... you learn to appreciate it. Pheno B has made her position very clear. She's the little one. And she's perfectly happy with that. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming The Story At this stage, her height isn't really what I'm watching anymore. I'm watching the flowers. And they're looking beautiful. The developing buds continue gaining structure and volume. The plant is gradually becoming more dominated by flowering growth, and those compact branches are carrying increasingly substantial floral sites. This is where the patience starts becoming rewarding. Week after week, the difference may seem small when you're standing in front of the plant every day. But compare photographs. Suddenly... you see it. More flower. More structure. More density. More maturity. And that's what we're looking for now. Not another giant burst of vegetative growth. Not another training session. Just development. ──────────────────────── 💡 Two More Future Of Grow Black Series 600W Fixtures Now, although we're doing very little to the plant physically this week, there has been an important development above her. Future of Grow provided us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test as part of the 8×8 Adventure. And that gave us a completely different lighting capability. Once the additional fixtures were added, the available PPFD increased considerably. Actually... a little more than I wanted. 😂 So instead of simply running the fixtures at maximum power, we turned them down. We're currently running at approximately 59% power from the plug. At that setting, we're seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the intensity naturally decreasing lower down depending on plant height and canopy position. And I'm very happy with that. The important part isn't simply having 600W fixtures. It's having control over them. ──────────────────────── 🔌 More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I really enjoy demonstrating in a real grow. When you have powerful equipment, you don't necessarily need to run it flat out. We increased the available lighting. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the power. Simple. 😂 Now we're still providing an extremely strong light environment while using less electricity. We're also avoiding unnecessary stress on the fixtures and the associated equipment. And we're giving ourselves room to adjust later if the plants tell us they want something different. That's one of the reasons I'm so happy with the additional Future of Grow fixtures. They give us more capability. More control. And more room to experiment. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD At The Top The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're seeing is measured across the upper canopy. Obviously, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is not a perfectly flat surface. She's a living plant. Some flowers are higher. Some are lower. Some leaves face the fixtures directly. Others sit at different angles. So the light naturally changes throughout the structure. And that's exactly what we expect. The goal isn't to make every single square centimetre of the plant receive identical light. The goal is to create a strong overall light environment and allow the plant to use those photons as efficiently as possible. And with Pheno B's compact architecture, this is particularly interesting. She has a relatively small vertical footprint, so we're able to provide a very strong upper-canopy environment without needing to chase a huge plant through the tent. She's compact. The light is strong. And now... we watch what she does with it. ──────────────────────── 💚 Future Of Grow – A Big Thank You I want to give Future of Grow a special shout-out this week. Providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gives us the opportunity to explore how these plants respond when we substantially increase the available lighting capability. And we're not just turning everything on and walking away. We're testing. We're adjusting. We're measuring. We're finding the level that makes sense. That's exactly the kind of real-world testing I enjoy doing. We increased the lighting. We saw where the PPFD went. We decided it was more than necessary. We reduced the output. And now we're sitting at a level I'm very comfortable with. More capability. Less unnecessary power consumption. And plenty of light. That's a pretty good combination. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pheno B Under The New Lighting And what about our little Blueberry Muffin? She's happy. That's really the simplest way to describe it. Her foliage remains lush. Her colour remains beautiful. Her flowering development continues. And she isn't giving us any reason to suddenly start changing everything. So we're not. She's doing her thing. We're doing ours. The lights provide the photons. The roots provide the foundation. The irrigation provides the water and nutrients. The environment provides the conditions. And the plant decides how to put everything together. That's the fun part. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Nutrition – Another Small Step There was also a small nutritional adjustment this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply increasing Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 ml/L to 2.3 ml/L. The current recipe is: • Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L That small increase in Terra Bloom brought the EC up slightly. We're now sitting around: ⚡ EC — 2.14 mS/cm Again... Nothing dramatic. Just a small measured progression as flowering continues. I don't believe in changing things simply because the calendar says another week has passed. The plant tells us what she needs. And Pheno B is telling us: "I'm happy." So we're making small adjustments rather than dramatic ones. ──────────────────────── 💧 Irrigation – Keep The Roots Happy The irrigation remains consistent as well. We're currently around: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours The current root-zone conditions remain stable, with the solution and substrate both around 25°C. That's important. Because while we can change the lighting strategy, adjust nutrition and make other decisions above the canopy... The roots still need consistency. Water. Nutrition. Oxygen. A stable root environment. And Pheno B is receiving exactly that. Her slow growth isn't something we're trying to correct through excessive inputs. That's simply her phenotype. We're supporting her rather than trying to force her to become somebody else. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 75 cm The room continues to remain stable overall. Summer can still create small fluctuations, of course, but we're keeping the variables we can control as consistent as possible. And that's particularly important at this stage. We're not looking for perfection every minute of every day. We're looking for stability. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Why We're Not Touching Her I think this deserves its own section because it's an important part of the grow. There is always a temptation to do something. Remove a leaf. Move a branch. Change the feeding. Change the light. Adjust something. But sometimes... there is nothing that needs fixing. Pheno B has a good structure. Her flowers are developing. Her foliage is healthy. Her environment is stable. Her irrigation is consistent. Her nutrition is working. So why would I disturb her? We're watching her closely. We're checking for problems. We're monitoring development. But we're not manufacturing problems just because we feel like we should be doing something. This is the stage where patience becomes cultivation too. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Compact Architecture – A Little Advantage Her compact size is actually becoming quite enjoyable at this stage. There isn't a huge vertical structure to manage. There isn't an enormous stretch creating constant challenges. She's simply sitting there... building. Her flowers are concentrated through a compact architecture, and that makes her a fascinating contrast to some of the taller plants in the 8×8. Same room. Same general philosophy. Same lighting. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Different genetic expression. That's the experiment. And Pheno B continues giving us a very clear answer. Small. Compact. Slow. But beautiful. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Photographs Tell The Truth This is another reason I love keeping individual diaries. If we only photographed the whole room, Pheno B could easily disappear into the bigger picture. But when you isolate her... You can appreciate her. The lush foliage. The compact structure. The developing flowers. The density. The colour. The progression. She's not competing with anyone anymore. She doesn't need to. She's simply showing us what she can do. And honestly... I think she's doing a beautiful job. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons, Plants & Patience One of the things this stage reminds me of is that lighting is only one piece of the equation. We're now giving these girls a very strong lighting environment. Approximately 1,500 PPFD at the upper canopy. That's a lot of photons. But photons alone don't grow flowers. The plant still needs: Water. Nutrition. Healthy roots. CO₂. Temperature control. Humidity control. Healthy foliage. And time. Everything has to work together. That's why we're not simply adding light and then expecting miracles. We're giving the plants a complete environment and watching how they respond. Pheno B is responding in her own way. Slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Genetics, Different Personality This is probably one of the biggest reasons I enjoy having both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes documented separately. They're related. They're growing under the same general conditions. But they don't express themselves exactly the same way. Pheno B has consistently shown us that she's the smaller, slower phenotype. And instead of treating that as something that needs correction... I'm treating it as information. This is what her genetics are expressing. And that's valuable. Because the purpose of a phenotype diary isn't to make every plant behave the same. It's to discover how they behave. And this little girl has been very clear. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here... We're keeping things simple. We're going to continue monitoring the flowers. Continue checking the foliage. Continue watching the environmental conditions. Continue providing consistent irrigation. Continue with the flowering nutrition. And continue testing the new lighting setup. The two additional Future of Grow fixtures give us another exciting variable to observe. We've already found a power level we're comfortable with. Now we'll watch how the plants respond over the coming weeks. And as for Pheno B? She's going to keep doing what she does best. Take her time. Build quietly. And look beautiful while doing it. ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let The Little One Finish I think that's probably the biggest lesson this girl continues teaching me. Not every plant needs to be big. Not every plant needs to be fast. Not every plant needs constant intervention. And not every phenotype needs to be pushed toward the same result. Sometimes... the little one is exactly the one you want to watch. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is compact. She's slow. She's lush. She's green. She's flowering beautifully. And she's becoming increasingly dense. This week we haven't needed to do much physically to her. And that's okay. We've provided the light. We've provided the nutrition. We've provided the irrigation. We've provided the environment. And now... we give her time. That's the stage we're in. The plant has done her part. Now we watch the flowers finish the story. And with the new Future of Grow lighting above her, a small increase in nutrition, a stable environment and a very happy-looking plant... I'm really curious to see what this little Blueberry Muffin becomes by the end. For now? She's shining. And that's enough. 💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and to follow this beautiful phenotype individually throughout the entire journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting these girls through flowering and helping us maintain such healthy, lush plants. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting that has been powering this room and, especially this week, for providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test. Having more lighting capability and then being able to control the output to find the level that makes sense for the plants is exactly the kind of experiment I love documenting. And thank you to Lumiflora for continuing to contribute additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures rather than simply flat canopies. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. This project continues showing us something I never get tired of seeing: Same room. Same environment. Same general cultivation philosophy. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different stories. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B may still be the little one. She may still be the slow one. But she's also one of the most charming plants in this room. She's compact. She's lush. She's beautiful. And she's quietly building something very interesting. So this week, there isn't a dramatic intervention. There doesn't need to be. We're simply giving her what she needs... and letting her finish. Keep shining, little girl. 💚🌸 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

More Pink hues Purple buds with intense Candy terps kickin inn more 🍭🍬💜

Ok guys so she was bushy again and so we did defoliation again. You can see the difference and then after that started flowering even more Plus the fact we are increasing the amount of molasses added to the soil plus the floranova bloom nutes. They are very thirsty girls, taking around 1.5-2lts per 48 hrs So almost like a 1 liter per 24 hrs Very good SoG to make them feel even more comfortable Going to change schedule from 24/0 to 19/5 and see if they evolve! Thinking about adding some humus to the soil as well, other than that they have been under good conditions Temp is steady at day time around 24C top and night time is 18-19C minimum RH around 45-60% Mostly 45% control environment with AC Cant wait to see big colas coming soon! Have fun enjoy the videos!

Week 8 is going great, started flush toward the end of week 7 on Zkittlez and OG Kush. Also started flushing Pink Kush CBD and Purple Punch at start of week 8. All are packing weight still and smelling very fragrant. Trichomes are starting to cloud out and I am planning on harvesting when trichomes are starting to amber.

Привет любители травки Началась новая неделя С утра я подгибал ветки на цветке и одна кола лопнула и переломилась и осталась висеть на четверти стебля После перелома меня охватила паника и боль , но я вовремя зафиксировал стебель и наложил ей шину Прошло пол дня и вроде все обошлось Стебель у этой девочки жесткий , но хрупкий с ней LST очень аккуратно надо проводить А в целом мне нравится её генетика . Day 40 Сегодня я поменял раствор на стадию цветения будем дальше наблюдать как пойдут дела

Super burnt lol. Ooops I'll still finish her off and hope for the best. Should still be some decent smoke 👌

2018-03-13 Week 11 Day 1 As I mentioned last week, the girls are growing like crazy since I changed to 600W HPS,and even though they haven't grown so much higher, they are definetly wider because of LST. My growroom is only about 1.8m2, so now the girls are so wide that there's not enough space for them to get wider, so now I will let them stretch. Nr 1 is 44 cm Nr 2 is 39 cm 2018-03-14 Day 2 I LST'd the girls one last time and also defoliated them mildly so all the tops get as much light as possible,hopefully increasing the yield in the end. I also turn the girls 1/4 lap every day to ensure that all sides of them get as much exposure to light as possible, it would've been great to have some kind of turntable that turns the girls 1 lap in 12 hours,, but until I find out a device that does just that,I'll keep on doing ti manually. Added some videos for you to enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Sie scheint mit bisschen Lichtstress zu haben, aber da schauen wir einfach weg.

Hello my friends, ...June 7, 2022.. Day N°87... ...Flowering day N°31... Fifth week of flowering for my three Feminized Bubblegum. They are fine, developing very good, they are beautiful, the flowers are awesome. I made a little defolliation. I feed them with the Hybrid Powder and some Booster from Green House Feeding Nutrients, I also give them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TS 3000 at 70% of power and at 30cm of the canopy. www.00seeds.com www.mars-hydro.com Thanks a lot for passing through here. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

So the the Platnium GSC has reached day 70 of 12/12 and tomorrow she will be harvested. The buds are looking super dense so trichomes are nice and milky😎 Hope you enjoy the update and please give a like and comment ✌️🏼

I’d like to start by thanking @Oims_Finest for trading me the seeds in the first place 😸👏 Really happy with how shes turned out. She grew fairly stead through veg. Was slower getting started in flower than some of the others in the tent. Her stretch went on for a few weeks longer and she ended up being the tallest in the tent. Her buds are surprisingly compact and have a lovely Mix of tropical and citrus terps. I didn’t save any clones of this plant so it’s just a ‘one and gone’ 🤷‍♂️ I’d like to thank everyone who has liked or commented on this diary. I hope it’s been helpful in some way. PersonalSmok3s 🌱💚😸

I forgot to do a video every week, I hope I'm not kicked out of the contest, because this plant is pretty sweet
