Dec 23: Day 73 from seed. There is a lot to say about these girls, they have been a breeze from the start, 2 plants started producing pollen sacs early flower but I infer that was external, and they were eliminated. The flowers are beautiful and the product to description is very close. The smell is very close to freshly pressed rosin, very fruity and pungent; I see why this strain is a cup winner!

Day 129 Flower 67 Remaining 10?!? WOW! lol they keep plumping up. most have slowed down but some of the colas are still noticeably growing. The plant on the right is quite a bit different then the other two. much shorter and has different looking colas. much more rounded. Also this plant has lots of white hairs on the main colas. Is this a sign they are still growing? how come the other 2 only have a few white hairs and this one is loaded. another distinction is that this plant hasn't really started fading yet. it has a few purple leaves but doesnt have the fade like the other 2? weird? why this plant so different. I'm quite nervous still but its all good, its just because its foreign to me. most the trichs are clear but theres a growing number of milky ones and the odd amber one. this is for the top colas i've been watching. I'm stoked to see the harvest. theres 24 yo yos in there holding up these massive colas! The flush should be any day now. I'm still confused as to know when i'm a week out and to start the flush?!? I understand harvest is when mostly milky with a few clear and amber. I cant believe the crystals on these ladies. its absolutely insane! also sticky as all hell, amazing! I'm very excited, the big day is coming up very quick Thanks again for following along and helping to make this grow what it is, let finish strong! 👌👊👊

I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Week 13 was harvest time for two of the Bruce Banner plants 🌸✂️ #2 and #3 were clearly ready, with mostly milky trichomes and some amber, so I decided to finish them this week. Both plants were taken out of the tent on Thursday and placed into complete darkness for 48 hours. Due to the heavy buds, they had to be secured to the ceiling, as they would have tipped over otherwise. After the dark period, both plants were cut on Saturday and hung to dry 🌿 Only the large fan leaves were removed at harvest, while the smaller leaves were left on to ensure a slower and more even drying process. Bud structure is very dense and compact, with strong resin production and loud terpenes already noticeable at harvest. Aroma is a mix of chemical, citrus and sweet notes, very typical for Bruce Banner. Bruce Banner #1 stayed in the tent this week, as she was still slightly behind in maturity and needed more time to finish. Environment (before harvest): Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very smooth and controlled harvest week. Plants finished strong, and the quality looks very promising going into drying and curing ❄️🌱

26.1.25: I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣 However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- ♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag ♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys. ♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑 I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up 😣 I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅 I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣 So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣 Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

gave them a potent compost tea Starting 4th week of flower

There's no banana smell or cookie smell she smells like og kush very pungent She took her time putting some weight on but she getting there now

EDIT: I thought the girls were done growing verticaly but i guess not. I measured at 51cm 2 times in a row. I just went to check and theyre 58 to 60cm and still going. (Day 37) Growth: This week vertical growth slowed down while the branches are catching up. I had a nitrogen deficiency on all the girls. I still go by the water,water,feed schedule and i usually have 2 dry days between every watering. So they only had 3 feedings of Terra Vega all this time. I think ill do water feed water now that flowering has begun. Lets hope these girls will put on some weight 😁 I added 1 100W cob and will be adding more the coming months. I also have a tent on the way. Training: I defoliated the 4 girls that are in flower and stopped applying LST. #5 (1 week behind) on the other hand got manhandled lol. I accidentally broke off the top and she got supercropped and bounces back within hours. Nutrients: 2ml Canna Terra Vega>>>1.5ml Canna Terra Vega 1ml Canna Terra Flores 2.5ml Cannazym 1x per week

Wow! Look at these amazing two plants. They both turned a bit purple. The smell is insane. Belive me or not but my entire room smells like a sweet ice cream restaurant. 😍 I had given this week only PH adjusted water and darkness for two days before harvest. Going to dry for like 7-10 days and then curing for another month or so. I will upload more pictures of the dried buds when the time comes

Things are going good, I am beginning to think about when to harvest. I have tried capturing some microscope shots of the trichomes with a 15x macro lens (BlitzWolf), but they turned out awful. They still look transparent and glasslike, and I did not see many, if any, amber trichomes. I am going on vacation next week, and wonder if plant will be fine with not being harvested before the 8th of July, two weeks from now. Day 3: Watered Day 4: Macro shots. Trichomes look transparent and glasslike, but since this is my first grow, any input from experienced growers is very welcome :-) Day 7: Watered. No amber trichomes in sight, I will wait one more week before the harvest.

Starting to ripen but I guess they need at least 11 weeks to finish

Week 5 Flipped to Flower. Finally recovered from Light burn and spider mites. Closed up all my light leaks and added a little CO2 to the room. Will be adding more CO2 soon. Trellis has been added Turned Lights up to 75%

Hello everyone 😎 Week 6 of flower for the Amnesia Zkittlez🍭 Only 1 plant left then finito✔️ Very nice smell super sweet🤤 The buds are super sticky🔥

This is a regular photo seed, I'm hoping it'll be a female. If not I have some solid male genetics to cross with. 💚💜 my Blueberry strains. I have both a Blueberry & Blueberry OG in, I'm excited for both.

Really surprised with how everyone turned out! Everyone is starting to flower but Kayla definitely got the lead in terms of pistils and bud sites. These ladies still need to be LST every other day. Looking forward to an early harvest!

Going good. Topped SB WW. Outdoors are off to a good start. Got my cast off yeew!

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 8 | Letting Her Shine Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Sometimes a weekly update is full of changes. Sometimes there is a new technique, a new adjustment, a new feeding strategy, or something that needs correcting. And sometimes... you simply leave the plant alone. This week is one of those weeks. Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need anything from me right now. She's healthy. She's lush. She's stretching beautifully. She's developing flowers everywhere. So this week, I'm doing something that can sometimes be surprisingly difficult for a grower: I'm letting her be. 🌱 And honestly... I love what I'm seeing. 🌱 Twelve Plants, Twelve Different Stories If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Every seed received twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very beginning of its life. There was no long vegetative period. No attempt to force every phenotype into the same shape. Instead, each plant has been given the same environment and the freedom to reveal what is naturally inside its genetics. And that has created one of the most fascinating parts of this entire project. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Godfather OG Pheno B and her sister are a perfect example. They share the same genetic name. They are growing under the same environmental philosophy. They receive the same lighting and feeding strategy. Yet they are very different plants. Similar family traits. Very different personalities. And that's exactly what makes a phenotype hunt so exciting. 👑 She's Getting Tall Godfather OG Pheno B has now reached approximately 160 cm. She's continuing to stretch upward while maintaining that elegant, open structure that has defined her throughout the grow. Her branches remain nicely spaced. Her canopy is naturally open. And there is still plenty of light finding its way through the plant. She's not trying to become a giant bush. She's doing something much more graceful. She's building herself upward. And the further she goes, the more curious I become about where this structure will eventually take her. 🍃 That Beautiful Green One of the first things that catches my eye when I look at her is her colour. She's lush. That rich, healthy green is still present throughout the plant, and the foliage looks strong and well supported. The leaves are beautifully formed, the stems are holding themselves confidently, and the entire plant has that unmistakable look of a phenotype that is comfortable in her environment. There is no reason for me to interfere. No reason to force a shape. No reason to remove something simply because I can. She's telling me she's happy. So I'm listening. 🌸 Flowers Slowly Taking Their Place The flower development continues beautifully. Fresh white pistils are still dominating the flowers, while the individual flower sites are becoming increasingly obvious along the branches. We're past the stage where they're just tiny beginnings. Now you can really start to see the architecture of the future colas. They're still young. They're still building. But they're there. And that's what makes this stage so enjoyable to photograph. Every week reveals another layer. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more flower. A little more personality. Nature doesn't rush. It just keeps building. 💧 No Changes — Just Consistency This week I made no major interventions with Godfather OG Pheno B. No training. No defoliation. No structural changes. No attempt to redirect her. She's adapting beautifully, growing naturally, and continuing to develop under the same conditions. Sometimes consistency is the technique. And at this point, I genuinely believe the best thing I can do is allow her to continue doing what she's already doing so well. 🍽️ Feeding This Week The feeding program this week consisted of: Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Power Buds – 1 ml/L Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L, when required for pH adjustment pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L, when required for pH adjustment The solution was kept consistent with the overall flowering strategy of the room. No dramatic changes. No chasing numbers. Just giving her what she needs and allowing the plant to decide what to do with it. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow LED Black Series 600W continues providing the primary light source for the project. And underneath the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues helping illuminate those lower flowering sites. This is particularly interesting with a phenotype like Godfather OG Pheno B. She's tall. She's open. She's creating flower sites at different levels throughout the plant. So rather than expecting every photon to arrive from directly above, the under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas some additional support. I'm especially curious to see how those lower flowers develop as we move deeper into flowering. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues to remain stable this week. Current recorded conditions include: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS reading: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The numbers remain steady, and more importantly, the plant looks like she agrees with them. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs are probably the best representation yet of what makes this phenotype special. The full-plant images show just how tall and elegant she has become. The close-ups reveal those beautiful early flowers covered in fresh white pistils. And then there are the leaves... Deep green, healthy, beautifully structured leaves that almost look too perfect to touch. This is one of those plants where photography makes me stop for a moment. You look at the whole plant and see the structure. Then you get closer and suddenly there is an entirely different world happening inside it. Tiny flowers. Tiny trichomes. New pistils. Veins running through enormous fan leaves. It's all happening simultaneously. 🔮 Where Is She Going? This is the part I'm genuinely curious about. I don't know exactly where Godfather OG Pheno B is going to take us. And I don't want to predict too much. She's already shown me that she's different from her sister. She has her own architecture. Her own rhythm. Her own way of expressing the genetics. And now I'm simply interested in seeing what happens when we give her more time. The stretch will eventually slow. The flowers will continue building. Those young calyxes will begin stacking and swelling. And somewhere along that journey, this elegant green plant will start becoming something much heavier and more defined. For now... I'm happy to let her surprise me. 👑 Let Her Be There is something beautiful about reaching a point in a grow where you realize: You don't need to do anything. She's not asking for intervention. She's not asking to be reshaped. She's not asking to be corrected. She's simply growing. Tall. Green. Healthy. Beautiful. And completely herself. So this week, there is no big technique. No dramatic change. No grower's ego trying to improve what doesn't need improving. Just observation. Just consistency. And a little bit of admiration. Because sometimes the best way to grow a plant... is to let the plant grow. 💚 💚 Thank You Thank you once again for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues teaching me something I already knew but appreciate more with every week: Genetics have personalities. Two plants can share the same name and still tell completely different stories. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers right now. And I can't wait to see how the next chapters unfold. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can share, learn, and inspire one another. 👑 Zamnesia for the genetics making this phenotype journey possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting the plants throughout their development. 💡 Future of Grow LED for the powerful lighting driving this garden. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment. ✨ Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light to the lower flowering sites. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, asking questions, and enjoying this journey with me. Every interaction makes documenting this project even more rewarding. I'll see you all next week to find out what this beautiful lady decides to become. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

So far - so good, as always. Yesterday switched to 12/12 as the photoperiod one needs to start flowering, it means that autos will spend last two three weeks of their life at 12/12

Day 75 to the big one, the other one nobody knows we got to keep vegging til my room ready FFS Beautiful root
