Habe sie eingeleitet und die Nährstoffe angehoben ,ich werde im Strech versuchen den vpd bei Nacht auf 1,1 und bei Licht an bei 1,2bis 1,3 zu halten ,wie gesagt ich versuche es .Momentan ist er ein wenig zu hoch farum ist der tugor druck so hoch das sie auch nachts am prayen sind..Habe ein entfeuchter dran und mal schauen wie das so klappt. Ansonsten sieht sie super vital aus,der eine Trieb der höher ist, als die anderen gebrochen wurden, darum konnte ich ihn nicht runterbinden,wird jetzt die Hauptcola,mal schauen wie sich der strech entwickelt,die grösse der Pflanze schwankt stark wegen des lst darum ist manchmal eine woche kaum unterschied

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 ❄️ Dark, Frosty & Moving Fast Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this girl... She's shining. 💚 Every phenotype has something that makes it recognizable. Something that, after enough weeks of watching them develop, becomes part of their identity. With Frosted Guava Pheno B, I think I've finally found hers. That green. That incredibly deep, rich, dark green. It's one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to become the biggest. But she has developed into a beautiful, compact, extremely healthy-looking flowering plant with an appearance that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. And right now? She's moving. She's developing quickly. The flowers are progressing. The resin is becoming more obvious. And the whole plant looks like she's very happy with the direction she's taking. So this week... the spotlight belongs to her. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. Different genetics and phenotypes. One growing environment. One general philosophy. And an awful lot of personality. The project is being run under a 12/12 light schedule from seed, allowing each plant to reveal its natural architecture without giving them an extended traditional vegetative period. And this is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. Because even when plants share the same genetic line, they don't necessarily tell the same story. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build enormous central flowers. Some distribute their flowers differently. Some become monsters. Some become elegant. And some... become very, very dark green Frosted Guavas. 😂💚 🌿 Look at That Green Let's start with the obvious. Look at her foliage. That colour is beautiful. Deep. Dark. Rich. Healthy-looking. The leaves have become one of the defining visual characteristics of this phenotype. And when you put that dark foliage next to the developing flowers, the contrast is fantastic. The white pistils stand out. The developing resin catches the light. The flowers appear almost brighter because they're surrounded by that deep green background. It's a beautiful combination. And I honestly really like this plant. There are plants you admire because they're enormous. There are plants you admire because they're unusual. And then there are plants where you simply look at them and think: "Damn... that's a beautiful plant." Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of those for me. 🌸 The Flowers Are Moving Fast The biggest difference I'm noticing this week is the speed of development. She's moving. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined, with more structure appearing throughout the developing buds. The calyxes are becoming more obvious. The pistils are still beautifully prominent. And the resin continues making its presence known. Looking through the photographs, you can see how much is happening across the plant. She's not sitting still. She's building. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. There is still plenty of development ahead, but the direction is becoming increasingly clear. She's a flower builder. And she's getting on with the job. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Starting to Look Frosted The name continues making more sense every week. The flowers are carrying increasingly visible resin, particularly around the developing calyxes and sugar leaves. And when you get close with the camera... that's when this plant really becomes interesting. The individual flowers have so much detail. White pistils crossing over one another. Calyxes stacking and expanding. Tiny sugar leaves surrounding the developing structures. And that little sparkle beginning to appear everywhere. This is exactly why I love photographing these plants. From a distance, they're simply beautiful flowering plants. Up close... they become another world. 👀 A Little Foxtailing? I can see a little bit of foxtailing beginning to appear in some of the flowers. And honestly? I'm not losing sleep over it. 😂 It's there. I'm seeing it. I'm documenting it. But I'm also looking at the entire plant. And the entire plant looks fantastic. The flowers are developing. The foliage is beautiful. The structure is healthy-looking. The plant is progressing quickly. So I'm not going to turn one characteristic into the entire story of the plant. This is phenotype observation. Sometimes a plant shows you a particular expression. You document it. You watch how it develops. And you let the plant finish telling you what that expression means. For now... I'm simply curious. Let's see where she takes it. ✂️ After Last Week's Cleanup Last week we gave her a selective cleanup. We removed foliage that had become unnecessary, opened some areas of the canopy and cleaned some of the lower growth. And importantly, we didn't try to strip everything. There was no reason to. Healthy leaves remained. The productive structure remained. And now we're watching how she responds. This week, I'm not looking to chase her with the scissors again. She's doing exactly what I want her to do: grow. The cleanup has been done. The room has been cleaned. The canopy has been organized. Now we let the plant work. Sometimes the best intervention after making a change... is to stop intervening and observe the result. 🌿 Small Plant. Absolutely Not a Small Plant. One thing that continues to amuse me about this phenotype is the difference between her physical size and her personality. At approximately 108 cm, she's considerably more compact than some of the other girls in the room. But she doesn't feel small. She has presence. She has flowers. She has structure. And she's becoming increasingly impressive every week. That's another lesson the 8×8 keeps teaching me. Height doesn't tell you everything. A shorter plant can still have an enormous personality. A compact plant can still produce an impressive flowering structure. And a plant doesn't need to reach the ceiling to deserve the spotlight. Frosted Guava Pheno B certainly doesn't. ☀️ Eating Photons The lighting environment continues to provide plenty of energy for this stage. The Future of Grow Black Series LED remains the main overhead light source, with Lumiflora contributing additional illumination into the lower canopy. And this girl is clearly making use of what she's receiving. Light goes in. The plant does its biological magic. And week after week... we see the result. More structure. More flowers. More resin. More development. This is one of the reasons I love having different phenotypes in the same room. You can give them essentially the same environment... and then watch how differently they use it. Frosted Guava Pheno B has found her own rhythm. And I really like her rhythm. 💧 Feeding & Environment The feeding program remains consistent with the flowering strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current recorded parameters: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 108 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 72% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ Recorded EC/TDS: ~2.0 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h At this point in the cycle, stability remains the priority. The plant is moving well. The flowers are developing. The foliage remains remarkably dark and vigorous. So there is no reason to start changing things simply for the sake of changing them. 🌬️ Keeping an Eye on the Canopy With flowering progressing and the canopy continuing to develop, airflow and environmental consistency remain important. This is another reason I liked the cleanup we performed last week. Not because fewer leaves automatically means a better plant. It doesn't. But because thoughtful canopy management can help keep the structure organized as the flowers continue developing. And now that she's cleaned up? I'm happy to leave her alone. Let the remaining leaves work. Let the flowers develop. Let the plant show us what she wants to become. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's gallery really captures her personality. The full-plant photographs show the structure. The closer photographs show the flowers. And the macro-style views reveal the details that make this phenotype special. The deep green foliage. The white pistils. The developing calyxes. The increasing resin. And those little signs of foxtailing appearing here and there. Everything together creates a plant that looks very much like herself now. And that's something I love about reaching this stage of a grow. Earlier in the cycle, you're asking: "What is this plant going to be?" Eventually you stop asking. You start saying: "Ah... this is who she is." And I think we're getting there with Frosted Guava Pheno B. 🔬 Phenotype Spotlight — The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe her in a few words right now: Compact. Dark green. Frosty. Fast. Beautiful. That's her. Her sister has her own personality. The other Frosted Guava phenotypes have their own expressions. But this girl? She's becoming very easy to recognize. And that's the beauty of phenotype hunting. You're not necessarily looking for one "perfect" plant. You're looking for differences. You're looking for expressions. You're looking for those little characteristics that make one plant stand out from another. And sometimes... you find a phenotype whose biggest characteristic is simply that you really, really enjoy looking at her. That's Frosted Guava B for me. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now I'm very curious. Because she's moving quickly. The flowers are developing beautifully. The resin is increasing. The structure is becoming more defined. And that little bit of foxtailing gives us another characteristic to watch. Will it continue? Will it settle? Will the flowers simply keep stacking and swelling around it? We'll see. I'm not going to write the ending yet. That's the plant's job. For now, I'm just going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And keep letting this beautiful girl show us what she has. 💚 Final Thoughts — She Deserves the Spotlight Frosted Guava Pheno B started this adventure as the smaller, quieter sister. And look at her now. She's still compact. She's still different. But quiet? Not anymore. She's shining. That deep, deep green foliage is absolutely beautiful. The flowers are moving quickly. The calyxes are developing. The white pistils are everywhere. The frost is increasing. And the whole plant has developed an identity of its own. Yes, I can see a little foxtailing. And no... I don't mind. 😂 Because overall? She's outstanding. She's healthy-looking. She's balanced. She's beautiful. And she's giving me exactly what I love most about this project: something interesting to watch. Every week she gives me another little detail. Another change. Another reason to stop and look. And that's what the 8×8 Adventure is all about. Not just growing plants. Watching plants become themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing exactly that. And I have to admit... I really like who she's becoming. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this dark green beauty shine. 💚❄️🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension to this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every grower following along. It all makes this project more enjoyable. Frosted Guava Pheno B may not be the biggest girl in the room... But she's certainly becoming one of the girls I enjoy watching the most. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. A little frost. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. Let's see where she goes from here. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚❄️

Week 7 for AK Triple Haze by SSSC She's been doing some flower bulking even though she's been in a darkish shed all week due to the rain😐 And as you can see by the pictures the top of the main cola is looking odd... well due to the high humidity/rain she developed some bud rot right on the top of the main cola😭After removing the damage & really having a look at her & all the other flowering plants it seems like it was the only spot thankgod... Will keep checking this plant for more bud rot development just in case i have to chop some more off, but the rain is over so the humidity should start dropping nicely hopefully that's the end of the troubles. She's fed water only because of @naturelivingsoil beast of autoflower soil mix, still doing its job nicely.

Weekly update on these lovely ladies. This week has been fun to watch the flowers form and swell. They definitely are starting to smell, as soon as you open the tent it hits you like a ton of bricks. I'll be doing my final dedoliation this week taking off some of the bigger fan leafs allowing more light to the lower flower sites. All in all Happy Growing

No4 (feeded wit biobizz) causes a lot of problems and needs a lot of attention...started with Ca deficiency...after this came toxicity of nitrogen and now some Mg deficiency...but the grow is very good. Same strain in Pot No2 in super living soil is doing good...grows a little slower but I have zero work and zero problems there. So far I would prefer living soil in the future. But let see what happens for the rest of the grow. Increasing light to 650-700 micromol/m2/s in week 5 (for No2, No3 and No4) was a bad idea...decreased to 500-550 now the vitality is coming back

Week 16 - Day 103 08/16: Harvested Aaliyah on 08/15, Day 102 from soil and Day of flowering. After one week of pure water for Aaliyah, some of the trichomes have turned amber. I decided to harvest about 3/4 of the plant. Some of the lower buds didn’t receive enough light during the grow, so I’m hoping they can grow a little more before I bring the whole plant down. I also removed some of the dead and very young growth that was coming up. I didn’t have another spot to hang the buds because of the smell, so I tied them over the other plants. Now that she is mostly harvested, the smell has increased. I now have Annie on the side so she is getting less direct light. She already took some bleaching on her main colas. Alexis still has about a week left. I’ll check her trichomes before the next watering to see if I should start flushing. 08/18: Aaliyah’s harvested buds were getting close to being dry, so I decided to start cleaning up some of the sugar leaves. The smaller, less developed buds got chopped up and set aside for some dry ice hash. Since she was on the left side of the tent, a lot of her colas did not receive enough direct light. I hung up a few of the nicer looking ones that I’m keeping as flower to finish drying. [General notes: I still don’t have a scale to take note of the exact wet weight, but I’ll make sure to have one for the dry weight. And since all three plants are of the same strain, I’m going to wait till the last one is chopped up before posting the full harvesting results.]

Trichomes are milky but the pistils have too many white ones still. Flowers have slowed down in their growth. Another week to go maybe.

3/18/25 beautiful plant i need to take clones so i dont lose these genetics 3/22/25 i have taken clones 🤙 this plant has super long and wispy type pistils. shes starting to look like shes going to produce nicely and im excited about that. This week we fed her with even amounts of bloom and grow. i am keeping the vpd around 1.4-1.6 kpa this is resulting in 79-82°F and 55-60%

She’s still stretching! We are at 57” and growing. I’m not sure how much more she will stretch but if she gets over 65-66” I’ll have to bend (supercrop) her over so she’s not blocking the light.

Harvest is imminent! I'm basically just waiting for her to drink her last watering. So 1-3 days I guess - my last few "finished" plants basically stopped drinking much at the end, and she seems to be the same. But my last post was about a week ago so one more flowering week report! A few days ago I took off some of the brittle taco-ified fan leafs. My guess is they don't do much for photosynthesis anymore and just prevent lower growth from getting light. Upper leafs by now have turned a pretty violet/plum color! I put a leaf from another plant in the picture for comparison.😊 Structurally there is little change since last week. Smell is still incredible too! She is significantly more heavy and the stems seem to be losing the battle against gravity but as she's coming down in a few I'm not gonna go wild with jojos or garden wire.

Filling out beautifully . Big stretch. Actively in flower now so I will start bloom nutrients on the next feed.
