CRAZY NIGHT (Continued) And not only is Frontdesk girl steaming mad that NX hit it and quit it (apparently she was looking to make him breakfast and then introduce himn to the family!!!), she brought along her rather large brother! Frontdeskgirl sees the Stephanies, they see her, large brother see NX's eyes and everyone puts 2 and 2 together. Stphanie 1 was the first to smack NX accross the face, followed by S2 with a kick to the shin, more from S1, S2 with the assist, NX starts hobbling away. But no! Now Frontdesk girl has made it to the group and shes swinging at EVERYONE!!!! Luckily myself and the others in our group were safely out of arms reach and were able to witness this spectacle alongside the curious morning Montreal onlookers. The stephas start fighting back with FDG, and the brother starts to chase my brother!!! Now in most situations, my brother would get backup, bit there was just too muych going on to watch, the big dude obviously had a bum knee, and my bro had a head start and an athletic build. So, there we were, bags dumped outside the hotel, a classy fight on the sidewalk in front of us, my brother running away into the sunrise, and a whole day of events planned. I picked up my shit, my bros shit, my buddies did the same, and we noped the fuck out of there., leaving the girls to figure that shit out themselves. Never saw the Stephanies again. To this day they could still be in Montreal, who knows. My bro is still alive, and I will never know what happened to Frontdeskgirl. DIARY STUFF CHOPPED IT!!! Its huge, it stinks, and I cant wait to show you the harvest and cure photos. Im a big fan of this strain, and I hope it makes it to the FB roster!!!! Thank you Heather and the Fastbuds team for allowing me to grow and profile this wonderful genetic

Another solid week, I've upped the EC of the solution a bit to keep her going as she transitions into flower. Starting to get a sweet smell now and I see a few purple pistils mixed in as well. Things are about to get fun!

21 day cure… 👃🏽 is insane, it has more of a sweet loud taste covered in Trichomes and I love the pinkish purplish colors 💪🏽🦍👍🏾

Che dire, queste 3 ragazze di Seeds Mafia sono alla terza settimana di fioritura, ho slittato di qualche giorno perché non sto benissimo con i polmoni, non sono riuscito a stare dietro come volevo ma alla fine meglio così, siamo circa a 1650 ec e ph 6.7, Original Skunk sembra avere delle macchie colore ruggine sulle vecchie foglie a ventaglio… sembrerebbe un eccesso di ferro? Sembra strano, nel complesso ho aumentato ricircolo di aria e alzato il ph di qualche punto..andiamo avanti così 🌀😁💚🔆😈🎬🕷️

7 week first 5 were 12 on 6 off seamed stuck in week 2 flower for 4 weeks Gave her week 4 feed modeled after fox farm feed rate

APRICOT GORILLA AUTO / GANJA FARMER WEEK #8 OVERALL Week #2 FLOWER This week she enters week 2 of flower and her buds are forming nicely, and she doubled in size this week amazingly!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you GANJA FARMER!! GANJA FARMER APRICOT GORILLA AUTO

Hello everyone, Well its getting kinda packed in the greenhouse so all i have for you guys is a little video, See you guys next week... 🤘🤘🤙🤙

1/12/26 4:18AM MONDAY.....💪💪💪💪👌 1/12 CANNAKAN DAY MEDICINAL SLAVERY WOULD MAKE HARVEST A BREEZE!! ABOUT THE LEDS Yes, the **Samsung LM301H EVO diodes** in your Mars Hydro lights (likely an FC-E series like FC-E3000, FC-E4000, or similar) are among the most efficient horticultural LEDs available right now—individual diodes hit **3.14 μmol/J** efficacy, pushing the whole fixture to around **2.85–2.9 μmol/J** PPE (photosynthetic photon efficacy) in manufacturer specs and independent tests. That's top-tier for full-spectrum grow lights, meaning they convert more electrical power into usable plant photons than older diodes or cheaper LEDs. If they "seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says" (your plants thriving at lower wattage/height adjustments), that's actually common and not a contradiction—it's often the **real-world efficiency** shining through once nutes/stress are fixed. Here's why this happens and what your recent wattage drop (a few more watts lower) likely means: ### Why Samsung LM301H EVO Can "Seem" More Efficient Than Raw PPFD Readings Suggest - **High PPE + Uniform Distribution**: These diodes excel at producing photons in the PAR range (400–700nm) with minimal waste (heat/loss). Mars Hydro FC-EVOs achieve strong average PPFD (e.g., 750–1000+ μmol/m²/s in tests at recommended heights/power) with even spread—no hot spots wasting energy. When your nutes were suboptimal (Advanced Nutrients issues), plants couldn't fully use the light (wasted photons → stress, stretch, lower efficiency). Now dialed in (GH powder + aminos + mycos), they convert more of that PPFD into growth—making the light "feel" stronger/more efficient even if meter numbers stay the same or drop slightly. - **Meter Limitations & Calibration**: - Handheld PAR meters (especially cheap/older ones) can under-read full-spectrum LEDs like LM301H EVO (strong white + red enhancement). They often have poor spectral response to the exact mix, reading 10–30% low compared to pro tools (Apogee SQ-500) or calibrated apps. - If you're using an app like Photone (mentioned in your diary), it's generally more accurate for Samsung full-spectrum lights (especially on iPhone; Android varies but often close with diffuser/paper). Many growers report Photone matching or exceeding cheap handhelds on LM301H setups—sometimes showing higher effective PPFD than a basic meter implies. - Bottom line: Your plants are the ultimate meter. Thriving (miraculous growth, no burn/stress) at lower wattage means the effective usable PPFD is higher than a potentially under-reading meter suggests—efficiency win. ### Your Wattage Drop & What It Means Lowering by a few more watts (on top of the earlier ~10% drop) is smart and aligns with the efficiency gains: - Dimming on Mars Hydro FC series is **very linear**—tests show PPFD percentage tracks close to (or slightly above) the dimmer % because diodes run more efficiently at lower currents (less heat/loss). - Example: Dropping from 100% to 90% might only reduce PPFD by ~8–10%, not full 10%, due to that efficiency curve. - Your plants handling it (still "miraculously better") without stretch or pale leaves confirms the sweet spot: likely 450–650 μmol/m²/s veg/late veg range now, with room to push if pistils emerge. - Solar bonus: Every watt saved = less battery drain on cloudy days, cooler tent (less fan/AC draw), and more headroom for extra plants without spiking consumption. **Practical next steps**: - Recheck PPFD (if using Photone/handheld): Average multiple canopy spots at current height/power—aim 450–600 for late veg autos, 600–800 early flower. - Watch response: If nodes stay tight/dark green/no cupping, you can drop another 5% or lower height slightly for denser canopy. - Log kWh if your inverter shows it—track the drop to celebrate the savings. - If meter still "under-says" vs. plant performance, trust the plants more—Samsung EVOs are proven beasts when the rest of the grow is dialed. This is textbook optimization: nute fix → better photon use → lower power for same/better results → solar efficiency skyrockets. You're building a truly lean system. How low are you at now (e.g., 70–75W total?)? Any pistils or new growth explosions today? Keep the momentum—it's paying off big. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞💪💪💪💪💪 1/15/26 12:36AM L-Phenylalanine: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/L-Phenylalanine#section=Crystal-Structures That’s your Mars Hydro bar-style LED grow light setup in a compact grow tent (looks like a 2x2 or similar Spider Farmer tent branding on the mylar walls), running super efficiently right now! Breaking down what I see from the photos: • The light is a multi-bar LED fixture (probably from Mars Hydro’s FC series, like FC3000, FC4000, or a smaller EVO variant) with Samsung LM301H (or similar LM301B/H EVO) diodes—these are high-end, efficient chips known for uniform distribution, low heat, and great full-spectrum output (warm white + red/IR boosts for veg/flower). • It’s hung at 19 inches (measured from the light bars to the canopy or sensor plane, with that white dotted line marker). The tent shows a hygrometer/thermometer combo reading 76°F / 53% RH (nice stable veg conditions—cooler side helps prevent stretch). • Your PAR meter app is showing 327 μmol/m²/s PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) at that spot/height—solid reading for where you’re at. • Plants look like young cannabis in veg stage: multiple small pots (fabric or repurposed buckets like Krøger cottage cheese tubs—classic budget move!), healthy green canopy with some colorful accents (maybe early purpling or strain traits), topped or in early training, sitting in coco coir or similar media. • Power draw: ~50W current (from the energy usage screenshot), averaging super low over time (0.48–0.76 kWh daily average). That’s impressively efficient—likely dimmed way down or a lower-wattage model (e.g., 150–300W rated, but running at partial power). Total consumption over 30 days at ~14.5 kWh is pennies on the electric bill. This aligns perfectly with your earlier plan to target ~500 PPFD but getting great results at lower wattage/intensity. Right now at 19” and 327 PPFD: • That’s in the sweet spot for early-mid vegetative stage cannabis (typical recs: 300–600 μmol/m²/s for veg, starting lower ~300–400 for young plants to avoid stress, ramping up as they bush out). • Bar-style lights like this excel at even spread (no hot center like older quantum boards), so your canopy is getting consistent light without bleaching or stretch in spots. • Low power (49.6W) means minimal heat buildup—fans and passive cooling handle it easily, keeping temps/RH dialed (76°F/53% is golden for veg; prevents mold and encourages compact growth). Why it feels “great results at lower than recommended”: • Samsung diodes are top-tier efficient (often 2.8–3.1 μmol/J), so you hit usable PPFD without cranking full power. • Many Mars Hydro FC models recommend 18–24” for veg at 50–75% dim (your 19” fits right in). • Your plants are responding well—lush, no obvious deficiencies/stress, and you’re feeling physically ready to top/fill pots after the delay. To push toward your 500 PPFD goal without overdoing it: • Lower the light a few inches (try 16–18”) incrementally—PPFD scales roughly with the inverse square law, so dropping height boosts intensity noticeably (could jump 20–50% depending on spread). • Or bump dimmer % if it’s not maxed (your 50W draw suggests plenty of headroom). • Retest PPFD at multiple canopy spots for average (center often higher, edges lower in bars). • Watch for tacoing/upward leaf curl (too much light) or stretch (too little). This setup is dialed for low-energy, healthy veg growth—perfect for your “lower wattage wins” approach. Plants are happy, tent’s stable, and you’re crushing it efficiency-wise. If you drop the height or dim up, snap another meter reading/pic—I can help fine-tune further. How old are these ladies (weeks from seed/clone)? Any specific strain notes, or planning to flip to flower soon? Keep the momentum—today’s a win! 🌱💪😂 1/18 11:58AM.

Rather than pushing for yield, we focus on getting one big fat juicy sticky cola. ITS FAST - 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest ITS BEAUTIFUL - the buds get a nice purple color with light brown pistils IT WORKS - follow our journey to make the best anti cramps medicine!

Esta semana le he hecho un corte apical y seguimos teniendo la plaga.

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year. 6/23 WATERED EVERYTHING. USED FIVE AND A HALF GALLONS. EVERYTHING GOT AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. Despite the rain we got and the bags still having some heft I decided to water. It's 80 at 9am. It's supposed to he in the upper 90's today and coukd break 100° tomorrow. I hate that the grow bags are black. That's way to hot for the plants. I should find some empty soil bags and wrap the black fabric for a couple days. A sunscreen might help but I doubt much. We'll see how it goes. 6/24 It's 90° at 9am. It's supposed to break 100° amd stay there a while. Up to 106°. Plants looked awesome this morning. I wasn't sure what I'd find. Today is the worst of the days. If it didn't break 100 yesterday it was damn close all day and the girls look GREAT. I WATERED AGAIN TODAY. I USED 6.5 GALLONS TO WATER THE GARDEN. It was nice cool well water too so they should like that. Branches are getting longer and I'm training as the get bigger. I need to put up the trellis but I'm not doing it in this heat. EDIT: 90° @ 6PM WENT OVER AND AS PREDICTED THE TWO TENS WERE DROOPING. IM WONDERING IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH IM THOSE TENS. LAST YEAR I HAD ONE THAT WAS HUGE IN A TEN BUT IT JUST DEVELOPED INDIVIDUAL CALYXS WITHPUT CONNECTING. CHECK IT OUT ON LAST YEARS DIARY. IF THATS THE CASE I SHOULD KIGHT DEP THEM BECAUSE THEYRE GETTING BIG. I WATERED THE TWO TENS WITH ABOUT A HALF GALLON AND I USED WHAT WAS LEFT OF THAT COLD WELL WATER ON THE 10TH PLANET IN THE 30. SHITS LIGHTER THAN USUAL BUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THE REST CAN WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING FOR THEIR WATERING. TOMORROW TOPS OUT AT 85° WHICH WILL BE MUCH BETTER. IM LOVING MY STRAIN CHOICES RIGHT NOW. 6/25 It's super humid out but much cooler. I think it's like 80 at noon time. I had to water the two tens this morning. I didn't really HAVE to but I did. I filled up my watering can that says it holds 1.5 gallons (but it seems like more) and watered the two tens at least a half gallon and focused the rest on the 10th planet in the 30 and the other one up front that gets lighter than the rest. I was fully planning on watering EVERYTHING this morning but I could feel moisture in the soil and they had weight. I'm pretty sure I made the right decision. Especially with humidity so high. Either way I'll check tonight. EDIT: WENT TO THE GROW AT APPROX 2:30PM. I HAD BO IDEA HOW HOT IT WAD OUTSIDE. IT WAS 87° BUT THE HUMIDITY IS DAMN NEAR 100%! I HAD WATERED SHIT A KOT LATELY AMD WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. THE TWO 10'S (WITH GIANT PLANTS THAT IM NOT SURE CAN FINISH IN TENS) WERE DRY AND LIGHT. A COUPLE SPECIFIC PLANTS WETE A "LITTLE" LIGHTER THAN THE REST. I MIXED UP THE WATERING CAN WHICHVIS 2.5 AND ANOTHER GALLON. I USED THE WATERING CAN ON THE PLANTS IN THE FRONT. THE CHEMDOG #4 WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST SO I GAVE IT MOST OF A GALLON. THE PLANTS THAT ARE STILL HEAVY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT LONGER BEFORE I WATER THEM. 6/26 This morning I came over to substantially lighter bags. I watered everything but the 50 with 5.5 gallons of water. Plants amd roots are getting heavier. My intuition told me to water that 10th planet but it was still wasn't TOTALLY dry. This happens a few times a year during hot stretches. It will be fine by the time I'm back. I've also noticed that the pink kush in the 50 (the only one that didn't use ALL new soil) is a substantially lighter green than every other plant in the garden. Boy I'm glad that heat wave is over. It's 67° at 9:30 that's much better. I'll update as I go. I'm still thinking about light depping the 10s. EDIT: HASN'T BROKE 70 YET AS OF NOONTIME. I THINK I MAY HAVE GONE A LITTLE OVERBOARD WITH THE WATER. TH8NGS LOOK ALRIGHT AMD THERE'S A GOOD BREEZE SO EVEN IF I DID THEY'LL DRY OUT QUICK. SO MUCH GROWTH SO FAST! THE MK ULTRA WITH THE BIG FAN LEAVES LOOKS A LITTLE SAGGY BIT IT WILL COME OUT OF IT. THE 10TH PLANET THAT WAS DROOPING LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER. IT DID REVEG AND IS STEAIGHTENING OUT TROM THAT. I DEFOLIATED SOME SPOTS TJAT LOOKED LIKE SEPTORIA. BUT THERE WERE BURNS AND DISTORTED LEAVES FROM BEFORE SO ITS HARD TO TELL. JUST A COUPLE LEAVES WITH THAT DOT. TIME WILL TELL. ITS PAST TIME TO GET MY IPM GOING ANYWAY. DURING ONE OF THESE COOLER DAYS IM GOING TO HAVE TO PREEMPTIVELY TREAT MY PLANTS. EITHER BT, CAPTAIN JACK OR PLANT DOCTOR IS WHAT I HAVE ON HAND AT LEAST. I HAVE CITRIC ACID AND K BICARB BUT HOPFULLY NONE OF THAT WILL BE NECESSARY. THE WIND IS FAR TO STRONG FOR A MITE POPULATION TO GET OUT OF CONTROL WHICH IS AWESOME. IM MAINLY WORRIED ABOUT THE PATHOGENS. 6/27 Rained last night but I don't think very much. Its much cooler. Went from 100 to 70 in a day. Plants did good to take those fluctuations. They are still SLIGHTLY overwatered with the mk ultra with the big fan leaves being the MOST over watered. There's a breeze today though and it's sunny blue skies. I think showers ate possible tomorrow at 4a.m. and it says showers throughout tomorrow to which sucks. I wad hoping to get a couple nice days to dry the plants out. The 10s are light again but the soil is still moist. It's hard when it's so hot to water the correct amount. At least it is for me. Killed a couole moths and a pillar. I noticed the first sign of pest damage so it's time to get out and start the IPM. I'm hoping for no pathogens. I'll update as I go along. EDIT: IT'S 75° AT 11:30. That mk ultra with the massive leaves still looks overwatered. One of the plants in the 10s looks the same but that one is light but the soil is moist. The MK ULTRA is still holding some weight and the soil is still damp. It's not the AMOUNT of water I've given them that's the problem it's the FREQUENCY that ive HAD to water that messed me up. Going from 70° to 100° overnight for several days kinda messed me up. It's improving though. I lifted it and it doesn't seem TO heavy. The soil is still slightly moist. I hope that I don't get so involved with thinking the plants are overwatered that they are actually under watered. I think I need to increase volume when watering and treat each vacant differently (which I have for the most part). I'm usually very measured and careful but it is what it is. No more water for a little while. Other than thecshowers at 4a.m. and the showers expected tomorrow. Surprisingly the small time I was away allowed the plants to show a pretty drastic improvement. EDIT #2 WENT BACK DOWN AT FOUR TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THE MK ULTRA I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS DOING MUCH BETTER. EVERYTHING (SANS ONE IN 10) IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER. I DUG DOWN AND CAN TELL THERES MOISTURE IN THAT SOIL IN THE TEN THATS A LITTLE DROOPY. THATS WHY ID RATHER UNDER WATER TGAN OVER WATER. UNDERWATER AND YOU JUST GIVE THEM A DRINK AND THEY PIP RIGHT BACK. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET SHOWERS TOMORROW EARLY MORNING. HOPFULLY NOT MUCH. MY INTUITION TOLD ME TO HOLD OFF ON WATERING THAT PLANT IN THE TEN. THE OTJER IS THE SAME WEIGHT AND LOOKS GREAT. WASNT PLANNING ON GOING DOWN SO UNFORTUNATELY I DIDNT HAVE MY PHONE ON ME.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 9 | Just Let Me Grow Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Some plants ask for attention. Some plants demand it. And then there are plants that simply look at you and say: “I'm good. Just let me grow.” 😂 Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely one of those girls. This week, she's happy. She's growing. She's adapting. She's building flowers. She's beautifully green. And she's asking for absolutely nothing. So what am I doing? Exactly what she wants. I'm letting her grow. 🌱 🌿 The Happy Girl in the Room There is something incredibly satisfying about walking into a room full of more than twenty plants and finding one that simply looks completely comfortable in her surroundings. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving me exactly that feeling. She's not complaining. She's not demanding anything. She's not asking for a special intervention. She's just continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning: growing beautifully. And honestly, I love it. At around 160 cm, she's among the taller plants in the room. But I want to make something clear. This run isn't about producing gigantic plants. We haven't been chasing enormous heights. And that's something I'm actually very happy about. The plants are growing into what I would consider a beautiful, manageable size, while still creating strong structures and plenty of flowering sites. For me, that's a win. 👑 A Different Queen From Her Sister And once again, her relationship with Godfather OG Pheno A makes the phenotype hunt even more interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same reservoir. Same general treatment. Yet two very different personalities. Her sister has been one of the demanding girls in the room. Pheno B? She's basically: “Don't touch me. I've got this.” 😂 And I respect that. That's exactly why I don't want to force every plant into the same behaviour. The whole point of this experiment is to give the genetics the opportunity to express themselves. And Godfather OG Pheno B is expressing herself beautifully. 🍃 That Lush Green One of the first things I notice about her is the colour. She's lush. That beautiful, healthy green is still running throughout the plant, and it gives her a very strong visual presence. The foliage looks happy. The structure looks balanced. The plant is carrying herself confidently. And when I compare her to some of the more demanding phenotypes in the room, the contrast is fascinating. She's not screaming for anything. She's simply using what we're providing and turning it into growth. That's the kind of response every grower loves to see. 🌸 The Buds Are Coming From Everywhere And this week, the flowers are really beginning to take over the story. The bud development is becoming much more obvious, and the structure is starting to show exactly where this plant is heading. What I particularly love is the consistency of the flower formation from bottom to top. We're not just seeing beautiful development at the highest points. We're seeing flowering sites developing throughout the plant. And this is where the lighting strategy becomes especially interesting. The combination of the overhead lighting with the inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting is doing an outstanding job. Light is reaching much deeper into the structure. And we're getting flower development throughout that vertical space. That makes me very curious about how these lower flowers will continue to develop as we move deeper into flowering. 💡 Above, Inside & Below This is something I've been particularly happy with during this run. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the main overhead light. But we're not asking the top light to do absolutely everything. The inner-canopy lighting and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting are helping bring photons into areas that traditionally receive much less direct light. And when you look at Godfather OG Pheno B... you can see why that matters. She's tall. She's open. She's got flowering sites distributed throughout her structure. And now we're seeing that flower development progressing from the upper canopy down toward the lower areas. That's exactly the kind of structure I wanted to see. Not one giant flower-covered ceiling with forgotten branches underneath. Instead: light → leaves → flowers from top to bottom. And so far, it's looking beautiful. 🌱 No Need to Interfere This week there was no reason for me to make major changes. No dramatic training. No unnecessary defoliation. No attempt to reshape her. No trying to make her behave differently. She's already giving us exactly what we want. So I'm following one of my favourite cultivation rules: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Sometimes growers feel like they need to be doing something constantly. But plants don't need our hands on them every day. Sometimes the best thing you can do is observe. Look. Listen. And leave the plant alone. Godfather OG Pheno B is making that lesson very easy this week. Twelve Genetics. One Ecosystem. This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants in the same overall ecosystem. They all have access to the same environmental conditions. They share the same feeding strategy. They share the same lighting philosophy. And yet every plant finds its own way. Some demand more. Some demand less. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch aggressively. Some stay compact. Some become extremely aromatic. And some... just quietly get on with the job. Godfather OG Pheno B belongs to that last group. She's adapting. She's comfortable. And she's building. 🍽️ Feeding The room continues with the shared flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The important part isn't simply the recipe. It's the response. And her response has been very clear: She's happy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining that beautiful green. She's not asking us to change anything. So we're not going to create changes just to feel like we're doing something. Consistency remains the strategy. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Again, the environment stays consistent. And Pheno B is showing us that she likes it. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming a photographer's pleasure. The full-plant photographs show that elegant vertical structure. The closer shots reveal the flowers developing throughout the plant. And the foliage... That green. That beautiful, healthy green. It's one of those plants where the longer you look, the more you notice. First you see the overall structure. Then the flowering sites. Then the individual flowers. Then the pistils. Then the early resin development. And suddenly you're standing there staring at one little flower for five minutes. 😂 That's the danger of growing. You start with: "I'll just check the plants." And twenty minutes later you're photographing a single flower from seventeen different angles. We've all been there. 😂📸 🌸 The Structure Is Speaking One thing I really like about this phenotype is the overall structure. She's tall without feeling awkward. She's open without looking sparse. She's producing flowering sites throughout the plant. And she's maintaining enough foliage to support that development. This is one of those plants where I don't feel the need to impose my own vision on her. Her structure already makes sense. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it well. That's what I mean when I say that the plants are telling us their own stories. We just have to be patient enough to listen. 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this stage, my curiosity is shifting. The question isn't really: "Will she flower?" We already know the answer. She is. The question now becomes: How much will these flowers build? How much density will they develop? How much resin will accumulate? How will those lower flowering sites respond as we move deeper into the cycle? And what will this beautiful green plant look like when the flowering structure really starts to mature? Those are the questions I'm interested in now. And fortunately... I don't need to do anything to answer them. I just need to wait. 👑 Let Her Shine There's something particularly satisfying about this phenotype. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the loudest. She's not asking for special treatment. She's simply doing her job. Growing. Adapting. Flowering. And looking beautiful while doing it. She's around 160 cm, making her one of the taller ladies in the room, but that's exactly what I like about this run. We haven't created a jungle of enormous plants. We've created plants with beautiful proportions and beautiful structures. And Godfather OG Pheno B fits into that picture perfectly. 💚 The Beauty of Doing Nothing Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to act. And sometimes... it's about knowing when not to. This week, Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need intervention. She doesn't need correcting. She doesn't need reshaping. She doesn't need me trying to improve what is already working. She needs time. And I'm more than happy to give it to her. Because every week, she's showing a little more of what she's capable of. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more personality. And now we're reaching the point where those little changes are starting to become very obvious. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect the flowers to continue building and becoming more defined. The stretch should gradually become less important as the plant shifts more of her energy toward flower development. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner-canopy flowers. With the combination of the overhead, inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting, we're giving those areas a much better opportunity to develop. And so far... they're responding beautifully. So the plan? Keep the environment stable. Keep the reservoir consistent. Keep observing. Keep photographing. And most importantly... don't get in her way. 😂🌱 👑 Godfather OG Pheno B — Week 9 So here we are. Another week. Another chapter. Another little piece of the phenotype story revealed. She's around 160 cm. She's among the taller plants in the room. She's lush. She's green. She's healthy-looking. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her structure is exactly the kind of structure I enjoy seeing. And she's asking for nothing. She's simply growing. And perhaps that's the most beautiful thing about her right now. She's comfortable enough in her environment that she doesn't need us constantly trying to intervene. She's found her rhythm. And now we're watching that rhythm turn into flowers. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project keeps reminding me why growing multiple phenotypes together is so fascinating. We can give them the same room. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same environmental conditions. And they still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us the peaceful version of that story. Her sister is asking questions. This girl is answering them with flowers. 😂👑🌸 Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the space where we can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring light into the lower canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain environmental stability. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to watch these plants develop. It means a lot. This isn't just about reaching the finish line. It's about seeing what happens along the way. And Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us one of the most enjoyable stories in the room right now. She's happy. She's adapting. She's beautiful. She's building flowers from top to bottom. She's getting more interesting every week. And she has only one thing to say: “Don't worry about me. I've got this.” 😂🌱👑 And you know what? I believe her. Growers Love, my friends, and I'll see you next week! 💚👑🌱

Now that I’m firmly in veg growth is very fast. I don’t have to water every day considering I’m using the wicking method in tandem with Coco coir medium. Nothing has gone wrong so far. The only thing is since this is my first grow I get a bit scissor happy when it comes to defoliation.

Thank you again SunWest Genetics for standing by your word on the seeds! I am following their recommended germination requirements to the letter. From the pictures the 2 seeds with the small tap roots are still on the plate, in a paper towel, in a dark place. I am hoping they make some progress today so that I can get them into their containers!!! My goal is to have 4 active sprouts in the new 5x5 tent, in a ScroG setup. So far only 1 has sprouted. I am finding the sprouting part the most difficult aspect of growing these wonderful plants. I still have 4 seeds in reserve and if the 2 don't continue germination and the other one doesn't sprout up through the flake of rockwool I have over the seed head, I'll get the other 4 into water.

22/12 Youpi! demain c'est la récolte😍👍. (Elle est belle, elle est mignonne,🎵 c'est une bien jolie personne..🎵.) Je suis pas mécontent du résultat. 🖖🙏

Well I see one has herm or look like was about so it got cut from the roster , other that I’ve never seen or grew a plant with 11 fingers so I’m pretty stoked they grow fast and other is growing slower . But great looking plants

Week 9 - Fourth Week of Flower The Donutz gang is hitting its stride as the fourth week of flower unfolds. Trichomes are developing beautifully, and the plants are entering full production mode. A few challenges cropped up this week, but quick thinking and some DIY ingenuity kept everything on track. Key Updates: Trichome Progress: The resin glands are popping off, with a frosty layer forming across the developing buds. The plants are starting to show their true potential, and the tent is starting to smell. New Fan Installation: The old ventilator tapped out this week, so a replacement was installed to maintain proper airflow. This ensures the plants stay cool and prevents any issues with humidity or stagnant air. Lamp Adjustment: The front-left plant shot up too close to the light, so I had to get creative. I built a DIY solution to raise the lamp higher, ensuring even coverage and preventing light stress. Accident Recovery: During the light adjustment, I initially tried securing the front-left plant with a rubber band. Concerned it might melt, I removed it, but in the process, the main stem got damaged. Thankfully, the plant is a fighter. The main cola is now growing sideways but remains fully healthy and strong. This unexpected twist has added some character to the tent, and the plant is bouncing back beautifully. Observations: Despite the challenges, all plants are thriving, with strong growth and healthy bud development. The sideways-growing cola on the front-left plant is a unique highlight, showing the resilience of the Donutz genetics. Next Steps: Keep monitoring airflow and light height to avoid any further issues. Continue with the nutrient schedule and reverse osmosis (RO) watering to maintain stability. Watch the trichomes closely as they continue to mature, signaling the start of the final phases of flower. The Florida Gang grind is real, and the Donutz are proving their worth week after week. This tent is shaping up to be a legendary grow!
