Runts might be small, but it's got a big personality. It's the second biggest seedling I have so far, and those leaves – they're totally unique. Runts is growing like a champ, and I have a feeling it's going to be the star of the show this year. Last week was awesome! I finally got around to giving all my plants a little upgrade – I repotted them into some bigger homes. They're all looking so happy and healthy now, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how much they grow this year!

Smelly harvest after flush, ready

Rock hard buds Miicrobialmass for the win and the new led is killer. The knobs like knots grow out of the sides of the buds are something to look at wow !!! Monkey berries is in flushing mode , slurricane won’t be far behind in the next week or 2 I’ll flush

Hello Growmies, As we round up week 5 with our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid by Zamnesia, the growth has been nothing short of impressive. The choice to employ low-stress training (LST) rather than topping has paid dividends, with the plants responding well to the gentle guidance of their growth, seamlessly integrating into the SCROG setup. This method has allowed for an even canopy spread, optimal light penetration, and air flow, which is critical for the health of the plants and ultimately the yield. Observing the Watermelon Candy's development, we see a testament to our cultivation methods. The vibrant green leaves reaching skywards, the sturdy stems, and the strategic placement of each branch in the SCROG—every detail points towards a successful vegetative phase. In terms of environmental control, we've applied the lessons learned from our other strains, maintaining a stable and ideal VPD during the day with the Tent-X system. The nights, however, have brought forth the same challenges we've faced with other strains, showing fluctuations in VPD levels. The integration of the Smart Mars Hydro fan into the Tent-X system is anticipated to solve this, and we are optimistic that this change will bring about the consistent conditions needed for the Watermelon Candy's continual thriving. Even with the small hiccup in the nighttime environmental control, the plants are flourishing. The robust health they exhibit is a sign they're ready for the flowering phase, and we expect nothing less than a bountiful harvest. And while we've experienced a bit of frustration with Secret Jardin and Mars Hydro for the integration challenges, we appreciate TrolMaster's efforts to assist. We are hopeful for a resolution soon, or we may revert to the reliable Prima Klima setup. As we move forward, the focus remains on the consistent monitoring and adjusting of their environment to ensure these Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids realize their full potential. Stay lifted, Salokin

Hello guys, I would like to share some thoughts with you. In this cycle I messed up with: - light bleaching This is the main reason why the plants slowed down in flowering cycle, everyone who would like to try this strain MUST keep in mind that it's TALL and STRETCHY, and in my case one of them grew up almost to 80cm with just 9L pots. Moreover, they should have done more flowering weeks to fully develop their buds, but with the first two plants I messed up, and with the third, even though I would have let her go up to 90 days, I didn't have time left due to other reasons. Anyway, I vaped and smoked the first harvested plant, guys... it's DEVASTATING!! Who did ever say autos aren't potent?? A fool! This weed gives you an instant headbang which then turn into a really creative high. Every plant in my grow has different aroma (in addition to the size and plant structure), in fact my only complaint is: Strain behaviour inconsistency, they were so much different from each other. On march I will run Skystompers, but I will supercrop them and maybe buy a grownorthern telos :)

Holy shit we boomin'. I actually had to super crop (i think that's what i did) bc one red poison was getting so tall. I had to pull her to 90 degrees... she's already back reaching for the light - I'm not sure what impact this has on my grow, but I think it will be a positive one. She was going to be insanely tall if I hadn't done this.

Super Woche, warm, sonnig, nur ein kleiner Schauer. Was soll ich sagen..? Es läuft prima. Bei den ersten Damen zeigen sich vorblüten. Habe jetzt alle mindestens 1 mal getoppt. Nur die 2 fat banana noch nicht. Die werden so schön buschig. Wenn die automatics in Kürze fallen, wird erst einmal umgestellt... dann bekommen sie mehr Sonne am Ende der vegetativen Phase. Das ist zumindest der Plan. Es läuft gut.Bis nächste Woche ✌️

See You Guys Next Week!!!!

i went on vacation like 10 mins after this. i dont have any pics of the painkiller for this week.

I can say I didn't expecting this.. she amazed me, and teach that you can get decent amount of buds in 1L pot also.. this is my first growing in small pot and teachs a lot about using your space..54300

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! 🌱💚

This week I’ve noticed a couple of fungus gnats on site. Not so happy, but I will keep my eye on the situation.

Day 8 - I topped off each of the solo cups with a little more soil. Might just be my lighting but the leaves are looking kinda light in color to me. Other than that everything seems to be going well. Day 9 - Leaf color looks fine now, probably just the white balance in the photos. I picked up some free worm tea from my local hydro shop today and gave most of it to my outdoor garden (no cannabis) and a small portion to the ladies in the tent. It's looking like they're almost large enough to transplant but I still haven't set up my larger tent yet. Soon! Day 12 - Finished setting up my new tent and transplanted the ladies. Tent is 100x100x200cm and I now have 2 300w 2nd Gen Roleadro LEDs. Going to see if this Cellmax Rootbooster makes any difference in the transplant. I'd noticed the 3BOG was looking kinda droopy lately. It was also the only transplant that didn't go smoothly so hopefully it will make it through all this stress. Not sure what was causing the drooping originally though, all plants have been cared for the same until now. Day 14 - Noticing some light curling on the leaves. I'm thinking it's just the low humidity but I moved the lights up a few inches just to be safe. I haven't given them a full watering yet in the new 3 gallon pots so maybe the humidity will rise once they get some water. (Humidity up to 34% a few hours after watering)

Hey guys :-) . Today the plant was sprayed again with neem oil. There weren't any more trips to be seen after the second application, but to be on the safe side, you did it again today get a cure. That's why the beautiful dark shimmer on the leaves :-). The ladies are developing well and have 1 week before I change the time to flowering. Normally I would let it get bigger and train because the tent only has 80x80 and 180 watts are available, so I will switch it over soon enough. This week it was poured twice with 0.8 l each time (for nutrients, see table above). Otherwise everything was cleaned and, as always, everything was checked.

Last week for these 3 remaining Runtzz I flushed them 4 days ago with flawless finish they had 2 feeds of flawless so far 1 more and then we chop them on Tuesday. Will be doing 10-15 days drying in a 3x3. Looking very frosty all 3 of these now orange hairs all curled and looks like they have packed out really well! The smell when you open the tent is heaven!! Old school bud smells! The journey is nearly fully complete! 😎😎😎😎 Will post harvest pics of these 3 on the next update! 12/05/25 Last 3 have been chopped and are now drying 21/05/25 10 days later and still small popcorns not snapping off which is great, I reckon 2-3 more days and we can get these 3 trimmed and displayed! Not long now will be just in time for contest end

Was soll ich sagen… die Dame steht immer noch und wenn ich mir die Trichome angucke dann sieht sie leider immer noch nicht ansatzweise reif aus 🤯 Maximal 2 Wochen gebe ich ihr noch, dann kommt sie raus egal ob fertig oder nicht. Aber sie riecht unfassbar lecker und ich bin sehr auf den Geschmack gespannt 🤤 Seit ein paar Tagen steht das Zelt auch auf 12/12

This week was spannabis Barcelona had such a great time met some great people and Made some good friends I also managed to get my hands on some fire genetics from a buddy who hooked me up from the states and was also judging the monsters cup! Even got to sample the entry's man that was some dope smoke and chill can't wait till October in Madrid 👌🏾🙌🏾
