So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

Tag 82: Hab mich nun doch entschieden , da die Trichome wirklich zu 90% Milchig sind , die Dame am Stamm abzuhacken . (Extra ein kleines Beil gekauft (scherz)) . Dann im Stück einfach Kopfüber . Abluft ist an , Ventilator unter der Spitze . Jetzt noch 4-5 Tage warten (je nach Temp und Feuchte) . Und dann schauen wir mal was es wird .Für mich wichtig , viel Feuchtigkeit im Raum , ich will das sie auch nach dem Trocknen noch kleben . Ergo hab ich den Stoftopf drinne stehen gelassen . Tag 82-88: Kopfübertrocknung + Temperatur : 21°C - 23°C) + Lüftfeuchtigkeit : 52%rH-60%rH + VPD kleiner gleich 1.2 + 4 bis 5 Tage Ich versuche maximal einen VPD von 1.2 zu halten für ca 4-5 Tage. Tag 85: Ein Video hinzugefühgt wo ihr das Trockenzelt sehen könnt. Die LED hab ich genau unter der Abluft angebracht damit kein einseitiger Luftzug entsteht, dafür mit mehr Power . Tag 86: Video von der Kopfüberhängenden hinzugefühgt. Tag 88: 5 Tage lang getrocknet , Blüten vom Stiel getrennt und in Schalen in den Weinkühlschrank mit Silikatgel für die Feuchteregelung. Tag 90: Trichome aufgenommen. CureBoxen geschlossen nach 2 Tagen im Weinkühler Next Step: Bouveda 58% , Sauerstoffabsorbierer

🚂 8×8 Adventure — Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Harvest — Part 2 🌸💚 👑 The Compact Beast Delivers! Dense, Beautiful Flowers and a Final Dry Weight Worth Celebrating! ❄️📸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, my friends! 🌱💚 And here we are again! It's time to continue the harvest story of our beautiful Cash Express Pheno B. 🚂🌸 Last week, we shared Part 1 of her harvest report, documenting the beginning of the harvest, her beautiful flowers, the whole-plant drying process, and some first impressions from the studio. Now it's time to move forward! The drying is complete, the scissors are ready, the TrimBin is waiting, and this compact girl is about to show us what she's been working on all these weeks. And I have to say… SHE HAS SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS! 😍💚 Before we get started, I strongly recommend checking out her previous diary weeks and Part 1 of the harvest report. There you'll find the complete journey, from her early development through flowering and all the way to harvest. We'll keep a quick recap here so everyone can follow along, but there's plenty more to discover in the previous updates! ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — THE 8×8 ADVENTURE For anyone joining us for the first time, welcome! The 8×8 Adventure follows twelve individual plants sharing the same general growing environment. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional approach. Same 12/12 light schedule from seed. Different genetics, different phenotypes, and different expressions. That's the heart of this project: observing how individual plants develop when they share the same overall environment. Cash Express Pheno B has been one of our more compact girls. She never needed to become the tallest plant in the room to get our attention. Instead, she developed a beautiful structure with some seriously dense flowers. And unlike her sister, Pheno A, we didn't encounter bud rot during this plant's journey. Two phenotypes from the same cultivar, sharing the same room, but each with her own story. That's exactly why we document them separately! 💚 ──────────────────────── ❄️ DRYING COMPLETE — FROM WHOLE PLANT TO FINISHED FLOWERS As explained in Part 1, Cash Express Pheno B was dried as a whole plant. We didn't use the DryFerm bags for this particular phenotype, and there was no side-by-side drying comparison here. This was simply a whole-plant drying process, followed by trimming once the flowers were ready. The drying environment was shared with the other plants in the room, with temperatures around 20–21°C and relative humidity generally around 55–60%. Once the drying stage was complete, it was time to bring out the scissors and take a closer look at what this girl had produced. And that's when her flowers really started to shine! 🌸 Dense. 🌸 Compact. 🌸 Beautifully formed. 🌸 Absolutely worth photographing. She might not have been a massive plant, but the flowers certainly make up for it! ──────────────────────── ✂️ TRIMMING TIME — SMALL PLANT, SERIOUS FLOWERS! My friends… LOOK AT THESE LITTLE BEASTS! 😂💚 One thing that immediately stood out during trimming was the density and compact structure of her flowers. These aren't particularly loose or airy flowers. They're hard, dense, compact fruits, with a beautiful appearance that makes you want to stop every few moments and take another photograph. And, of course, that's exactly what happened! 😂📸 The TrimBin and scissors were ready, and we took our time working through the flowers. I really enjoy this stage because it gives us another opportunity to appreciate the final result. During flowering, we're looking at the whole plant and following its development. At harvest, we're looking at the branches and individual flowers. But during trimming, we finally get to appreciate the finished flower structure up close. And Cash Express Pheno B certainly didn't disappoint! She may not have been the biggest plant in the room, but she produced some seriously beautiful fruits. Quality of appearance over plant size — that's what I love to see! 💚 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ FINAL HARVEST NUMBERS And now, let's get to the numbers! After drying and trimming, we have the following results: 🌿 Wet harvest weight: 448.8 g ⚖️ Final dry flower weight: 56.1 g That's our final dry flower weight for Cash Express Pheno B. A beautiful result from a compact phenotype! And remember, the numbers are only one part of the story. We also want to appreciate the flower structure, the individual expression, and everything this plant has shown us throughout the journey. For me, she has been a lovely example of how a smaller plant can still deliver some impressive flowers. 💚🌸 ──────────────────────── ? POST-HARVEST — TIME FOR CURING After trimming, the flowers moved into the curing stage. This is where we continue taking care of the harvest and allow the flowers to settle into their post-drying storage environment. We'll keep monitoring the curing process and give her the time she needs. And one important thing: we're not going to rush into describing her aroma or flavour just yet. That's something I want to explore properly in her smoke review, when we can give the terpene profile and overall experience the attention they deserve. For now, we're celebrating the harvest and documenting the finished flowers. The smoke review will have its own chapter! 🌿👃 ──────────────────────── 👃 WHAT ABOUT HER TERPENE PROFILE? You'll have to wait a little longer for that one, my friends! 😂💚 I want to keep the harvest report focused on the drying, trimming, final numbers, and the beautiful flowers she produced. We'll take a closer look at her aroma, flavour, and overall experience in the upcoming smoke review. And, as always, we'll judge her as an individual phenotype. Her sister has already had her own review, and Pheno B deserves exactly the same treatment. Same cultivar name doesn't mean the same final experience! So stay tuned for that next chapter. 🚂🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 FINAL THOUGHTS — THE COMPACT BEAST DELIVERS! Cash Express Pheno B! What a lovely way to finish her journey. She wasn't the biggest plant in the 8×8 Adventure, but she certainly made an impression. Her compact structure developed into some beautiful, dense flowers, and the final numbers gave us another reason to appreciate this phenotype. 448.8 g wet. 56.1 g dry. And a whole lot of beautiful flowers to photograph! 📸💚 I particularly enjoyed the trimming session because it gave us the opportunity to appreciate just how dense and compact these flowers really are. She made it through the run without the bud rot issue that affected her sister, and we're happy to have a clean harvest story to document for this phenotype. Now the harvest chapter is complete, and the curing journey continues. The next time we visit Cash Express Pheno B, we'll be looking at her aroma, flavour, effects, and overall smoke experience. But for now, let's give this compact girl the appreciation she deserves! Small plant, big personality, and some seriously beautiful flowers! 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

Thank you for following Cash Express Pheno B throughout her journey, from seed to harvest. She's been a pleasure to document, and I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them. We'll be back with her smoke review once she's ready for her next chapter. Until then… Keep learning, keep observing, keep sharing, and never forget to appreciate the individual story behind every plant. LET'S GROW! 🚂🌱💚 🚂 8×8 Adventure — Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Smoke Review 🌸💚 The Compact Beast Takes the Skatepark! Same Skunky Character, Peppery Personality, and a Heavy After-Dark Experience! 🌙🔥 Hello again, my friends! 🌱💚 Well, well, well… It's time to give our beautiful Cash Express Pheno B her final spotlight! And before we get into the experience, I have to say that this girl deserves a special edition photoshoot! 😂📸 As you can see from the photographs, we decided to have a little fun with the dry and cured flowers, bringing out some miniature skateboards for the occasion. Because why should our flowers always have to pose in a jar or on a black background? Sometimes they deserve their own skatepark! 😂💚 But jokes aside, look at those flowers! Compact, dense, beautifully formed, and absolutely lovely to photograph. This girl may not have been the biggest plant in the room, but she certainly delivered some impressive little fruits. And after following her from seed all the way through harvest, it's finally time to talk about the finished experience. ──────────────────────── 👃 AROMA & FLAVOUR — SKUNKY WITH A PEPPERY TWIST! Now, I have to be honest. Her profile is remarkably similar to her sister, Cash Express Pheno A. We're getting that same skunky character, accompanied by a peppery twist. If I had to describe her in just a few words, I'd say: SKUNKY. PEPPERY. PUNGENT. Looking through the GrowDiaries flavour categories, the closest options remain: 🌸 Flowery 🌿 Herbs 🌶️ Pungent She's not the easiest profile to put into a few flavour categories, but that skunky and peppery combination is what stands out most to me. And yes, her sister was very similar in this department! Two different phenotypes, two individual growing journeys, but a remarkably familiar final profile. ──────────────────────── 🌙 EFFECTS — DEFINITELY AN AFTER-DARK GIRL! And here comes the heavy part! Cash Express Pheno B is not what I'd personally choose when I have a busy day ahead. She's an after-dark kind of girl. A strong, relaxing experience that makes me want to slow everything down, leave the day's responsibilities behind, and enjoy some quiet time. The effects are noticeable both physically and mentally, with a heavy, relaxing character. For me, she's much better suited to those evenings when there's absolutely nothing left on the to-do list. No rushing around. No important tasks. Just time to relax and eventually get some sleep. 😴🌙 Her overall experience is very similar to her sister, and I'd describe both as particularly heavy, relaxing phenotypes. And, of course… 💧 DRY MOUTH! She's keeping that family tradition alive! 😂💚 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ FINAL HARVEST REMINDER 🌿 Cultivar: Cash Express by Zamnesia 🌱 Phenotype: B ⚖️ Wet harvest weight: 448.8 g ⚖️ Final dry flower weight: 56.1 g ⭐ Final impression: A beautiful compact phenotype with dense flowers and a strong, relaxing experience. ──────────────────────── 💚 FINAL THOUGHTS — TWO SISTERS, ONE FAMILIAR CHARACTER! Cash Express Pheno B has been a pleasure to document. She was compact, developed some seriously dense flowers, and gave us a beautiful final harvest. Her smoke profile turned out remarkably close to her sister's, with that familiar skunky and peppery character and a heavy, relaxing experience. The main difference between their stories was in the growing journey itself. Pheno A had the unfortunate bud rot incident affecting her main cola, while Pheno B made it through without us encountering that problem. But both gave us something interesting to document, and both deserve their own place in the 8×8 Adventure. And let's not forget those special-edition skatepark photographs! 😂💚 Sometimes growing is serious business. And sometimes we just need to put a beautiful flower on a tiny skateboard and have some fun! Thank you, Cash Express Pheno B, for another lovely chapter in this adventure. ──────────────────────── 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU! 💚 Zamnesia — for the genetics and for being part of this journey from seed to harvest. 🌱 Plagron — for supporting the nutritional side of our adventure. 💡 Future of Grow — for the Black Series lighting and the additional fixtures that helped expand our lighting setup. 🌿 LumiFlora — for the additional under-canopy lighting. 🎛️ TrolMaster — for supporting our environmental-control setup.

Keep learning, keep sharing, keep enjoying the little things, and never forget to have some fun along the way! LET'S GROW! 🚂🌱💚

02/09 forgot to post at the beginning of new week which started 02/07. They got watered with goodies today look to be bouncing back well. 02/12 got pre cutting soil drench today turned light up to 300 ppfd looking good 02/13 gave my pre clone foliar spray this morning with light off. Will have to upload the recipe some time. 02/14 took cuttings for next round and bonsai 2 mums 02/14 watered 2 mums with wgd3000

good rempotage

starting flush

Its very small for week 4 compared to my other plants. But this phenotype is sneaky. It'll fatten up soon.

Quite a few are finishing up I’m gonna start the flush in around a week then harvest few days after that, incredible thc on this strain and buds are really dense I couldn’t recommend a better autoflower then this is best I’ve ever done 💪🌱😜

Since I am in DWC and the fertilizers are organic, I take care to add them slowly.. Como estoy en DWC y los fertilizantes son orgánicos, me ocupo de añadirlos lentamente... Por el momento no controlo la atmósfera, sólo tengo un extractor ajustado a 400m3/h para los 2 lumatek al 75%. Planeo controlar la atmósfera a partir de la inyección de CO2 en la semana 2 o 3 para ver más. Mientras tanto tengo algunos picos de temperatura por encima de los 28 pero son realmente específicos. Estoy tratando de mantener la humedad lo suficientemente alta para tener un buen VPD. For the moment I don't control the atmosphere, I just have an extractor set at 400m3/h for the 2 lumatek at 75%. I plan to control the atmosphere from the CO2 injection in week 2 or 3 to be seen again. In the meantime I have a few temperature peaks over 28 but they are really specific. I am trying to keep the humidity high enough to have a good VPD. Subí un poco la ec este fin de semana 4 de 0.9 a 1 I turned up the ec a bit this weekend 4 from 0.9 to 1

2nd Feeding week

🦄🌿 8×8 Adventure – Week 14 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A The Little Unicorn Has Left the Tent… But Her Story Is Far From Over! 🦄👑🌸✂️ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And today, my friends… We have a different kind of update. Because our beautiful Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially left the tent. 😂🦄🌿 That's right. Our little unicorn. Our beautiful foxtailing freak. Our girl who spent week after week doing things her own way, building her unusual flowering structures, surprising us with her development, and reminding us that genetics don't always follow the script we expect. She finally told me: "Doc… I think we've done enough in here." 😂😂😂 And who am I to argue with a queen? So I listened. We took the final photographs inside the tent. We gave her some time in the studio for more photographs and photo stacking. We documented her beautiful flowering structures from different angles. We enjoyed a little moment with our girl. And then… It was time. ✂️🌸 Frosted Guava Pheno A was harvested. But before anyone asks… Yes, I know we're posting a harvest-day update under a flowering week. 😂 And yes, there's a reason for that! We're going to explain everything, because this isn't the final harvest report. We still have drying to document, and there's more to come after that. Today is about the last day of our little unicorn in the tent, her final photographs, the studio session, the photo stacks, the harvest process, and the beginning of her drying journey. So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Because this girl has earned it. 🦄👑💚 ──────────────────────── 📢 A QUICK APOLOGY – WHY IS HARVEST DAY IN A FLOWERING WEEK? Before we get into the beautiful photographs, let's explain something for anyone wondering why we're documenting harvest day in a flowering-week update. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photos per update. And when you're documenting an entire harvest, trimming, drying, and eventually the final report, thirty photographs can disappear very quickly. 😂📸 Especially when you're someone like me who enjoys documenting everything! We have photographs from inside the tent. We have photographs in the studio. We have photo stacks. We have different views of the plant. We have details of the flowers. We have the harvest itself. And we still have the drying process to document. So, rather than trying to squeeze the entire story into one update and leaving important parts out, we're spreading the journey across the available diary updates. That's why we're using this flowering week to document the final day in the tent and the beginning of the harvest story. Please consider this the first part of her harvest journey. We'll continue with the drying process and the remaining details in the next chapter or chapters, depending on how much material we have to share. And eventually, we'll bring everything together in the final report. This isn't us pretending she's still flowering. 😂 It's simply the most practical way to document her journey properly within the platform's limits. We want to show you the story, not just the final photograph. Thank you for understanding, my friends! 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 🦄 A QUICK RECAP – FROM SEED TO STUDIO Let's take a moment to remember how we got here. Frosted Guava Auto was grown as part of the 8×8 Adventure, where multiple plants share the same general environment while expressing their own individual genetic characteristics. And this girl? She certainly gave us something different to follow. From the beginning, she developed her own personality. We watched her grow. We watched her flowering structures develop. We watched those unusual foxtailing formations become increasingly noticeable. And week after week, she continued doing her own thing. 😂🦄🌸 She didn't need to look exactly like her sister. She didn't need to behave like the other plants. She didn't need to follow somebody else's rhythm. She simply needed to be Frosted Guava Pheno A. And that's precisely what she did. One of my favourite things about following a plant from seed is that you gradually stop thinking about her as just a name on a label. You start recognizing her. You know her structure. You remember the way she developed. You notice her little differences. And eventually, when you walk into the room, you can spot her without even needing to look at the label. That's when a phenotype becomes a character in the story. And our little unicorn? She's been one of those characters throughout this adventure. 🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE LAST DAY INSIDE THE 8×8 Before taking her out, we spent some time documenting her final moments inside the tent. These photographs are important to me because they capture the plant exactly where she completed her flowering journey. No studio background. No special photographic arrangement. Just Frosted Guava, standing in the environment where we've watched her develop. 🌿📸 The room has been home to all these different personalities. Some plants have been faster. Some have been slower. Some have developed unusual structures. Some have surprised us with their size. And some have made us stop and look a little closer. Frosted Guava belongs firmly in that last category. 😂🦄 Those flowering structures have always made her interesting to photograph, and I wanted to make sure we had a proper record of her final day in the tent before moving on to the next stage. Because once she's harvested, that particular view is gone. The plant changes. The environment changes. The next chapter begins. So we take our photographs, appreciate the journey, and make sure the story is documented. And then… We take our girl to the studio. ──────────────────────── 📸 STUDIO TIME – THE LITTLE UNICORN GETS HER MOMENT Once Frosted Guava left the tent, we took her to the studio. And this is where I get to enjoy another part of growing that I absolutely love. Photography. 😂📸🦄 I don't only want to remember how a plant looked from across the room. I want to look at the details. The shape of the flowers. The structure of the main cola. The way the individual flowering sections developed. The little differences between one part of the plant and another. And that's why I spend so much time photographing these girls. It's not simply about taking one beautiful picture. It's about documenting the plant from different perspectives. A wider photograph tells one story. A closer photograph tells another. And a carefully made photo stack can reveal details that are difficult to appreciate in a single photograph. Frosted Guava gave us plenty to work with. Her unusual structures make her especially interesting to photograph, and the studio allowed us to give her the attention she deserved before moving on to the harvest itself. 🦄🌸📸 ──────────────────────── 🔬 PHOTO STACKING – PATIENCE, LIGHTS & A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS Let's talk about photo stacking for a moment. Because I know that when people see a finished stacked photograph, it can look like something that happens with the click of a button. 😂 Well… Not quite! Photo stacking is a process in which multiple photographs of the same subject, captured at slightly different focus distances, are combined to produce a final image with greater apparent depth of field. In simple terms, the camera captures different parts of the subject in focus, and the software combines those focused areas into one image. The result can reveal a remarkable amount of detail. But getting there takes time. It takes patience. It takes careful positioning. And it takes lighting that works for the subject. For these photographs, I use several SmallRig LED lights in the studio to shape the light the way I want it. I adjust the lighting to bring out the texture, colours, and details without losing the character of the flower. The position of the lights matters. The angle matters. The focus matters. And the individual photographs need to work together. Some of the stacks we're sharing from this adventure contain hundreds of photographs. With Frosted Guava, we're showing stacks made from 78, 84, 105, 108, 111, 147, and 206 photographs. And that's only part of the story! 😂📸🔬 Each stack has its own purpose. Sometimes I want to show the main cola. Sometimes I want to capture a smaller flower. Sometimes I want to explore an interesting section of the plant. And sometimes I'm simply curious to see how much detail I can bring out of a particular subject. I love this process. It's another way of appreciating the plant beyond the grow room. Growing gives us the subject. Photography gives us another way to explore it. And the more I do it, the more I enjoy it. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE STACKS ARE PART OF THE STORY You'll see several different kinds of photographs in this update. Some show Frosted Guava while she was still in the tent. Others show her in the studio. Some are wider views of the plant and her flowering structures. Others are closer photographs of individual flowers. And then we have the stacked images. Each one documents a different part of the journey. One of the fun stacks includes a trimming scene with a flower in the trim bin, scissors, and a lighter. That particular stack contains 78 photographs. It's not the biggest stack in the collection, but I enjoyed making it because it captures a little moment around the harvest process. 😂📸✂️ And that's something I like about photography. Not every photograph needs to be a technical masterpiece. Some are experiments. Some are made to learn something. Some are simply fun. And sometimes the smaller projects are the ones that make you smile the most. We also included a video showing part of the photo-stacking process, because I wanted to give everyone an idea of what actually happens behind the final image. It's not instant magic. It's a series of photographs, careful setup, lighting, focus, and processing. And yes… A fair amount of patience! 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 HARVEST TIME – OUR LITTLE UNICORN LEAVES THE STAGE After the photographs, it was time to move on. Frosted Guava had completed her flowering journey, and I decided it was time to harvest her. We took our final moments in the studio, documented the process, and then chopped the plant down. ✂️🌿 It's always a strange moment. On one hand, it's exciting because you get to see the result of everything you've followed throughout the grow. On the other hand, you've spent weeks watching this plant develop. You've seen the changes. You've photographed the flowers. You've made observations. You've given her a name. And now, suddenly, the plant you recognize from the tent is entering a completely different stage. The flowering chapter is finished. The post-harvest chapter begins. And our little unicorn is no longer standing in the room with the others. She's moving on to the next part of her journey. 🦄🌸💚 ──────────────────────── ✂️ A LITTLE TRIMMING – BUT NOT A FULL WET TRIM Once the plant was harvested, I broke her down and removed the fan leaves and other leaves I didn't want to keep around the flowers. We also did some initial trimming. But I want to make one thing clear. I'm not really calling this a full wet trim. It's more of a partial initial trim before drying. The idea was to remove the leaves we didn't need while preparing the flowers for the next stage, without trying to complete every part of the final trimming process immediately. Most of the material went onto the drying rack. However, I also kept some colas intact so we can enjoy the experience of seeing a larger cola after drying. Because let's be honest… Sometimes you just want to see that big, beautiful cola sitting there after the drying process. 😂🌸👑 We don't have to turn every part of the harvest into the same shape or presentation. Different pieces can be handled differently depending on what we want to document and enjoy later. For this update, the important thing is that Frosted Guava has been harvested, the initial breakdown is complete, and most of her flowers are now resting on the drying rack. The rest of the process is still ahead of us. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING JOURNEY BEGINS And now… We wait. 😂🌿 Frosted Guava is no longer growing under the lights. She's no longer sharing the tent with the other plants. She's now in the drying stage, in a separate space away from the flowering room, where the next part of her journey will take place. Our current plan is to keep the drying environment around 20–21°C. For the initial period, we're aiming for relative humidity around 45%, then bringing it up towards the 60% range and keeping the conditions as stable as we reasonably can. These are our intended conditions, not a guarantee that every reading will remain identical throughout the process. Drying is influenced by several things, including the environment, the amount and arrangement of plant material, airflow, and how the flowers lose moisture over time. And that's why I don't want to promise an exact number of days. A typical drying period can fall somewhere around one to two weeks, but the actual duration can vary. We'll monitor the process and document what happens rather than deciding in advance that every plant must be ready on a particular day. The goal now is to let Frosted Guava rest while we keep an eye on the drying process. 🌬️🌸 ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE TAKE? That's the question, isn't it? 😂 And the honest answer is… We'll see. One week? Possibly. Two weeks? Also possible. The exact timing depends on how the flowers dry under the conditions we maintain. I don't want to make a promise today and then pretend the plant has to follow it. The drying process deserves patience just as much as the flowering process did. We'll continue monitoring the environment and the flowers, and we'll share more information in the next update. For now, Frosted Guava has started her drying journey. She's resting. We're observing. And the next chapter will come when we have something meaningful to report. 🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME 8×8 ADVENTURE – ONE MORE GIRL MOVES ON There's something worth remembering here. Frosted Guava was part of a room full of different plants, all sharing the same general growing environment. But she has now completed her flowering journey and moved into the next stage. The rest of the room is still going. The other girls are continuing their own stories, each at her own pace. And that's one of the reasons we document these plants individually. They don't all finish at the same time. They don't all develop in the same way. And they don't all have the same personality. Frosted Guava was our little unicorn. She gave us her unusual flowering structures, her own rhythm, and plenty of beautiful details to photograph. Now she has left the tent, and the rest of the adventure continues around her. Same project. Same room for the plants still flowering. Different stages. Different stories. 🌿🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 WHY I LOVE DOCUMENTING THE PROCESS For me, this is about more than showing the final result. I enjoy documenting the entire journey. The early growth. The flowering stages. The changes in structure. The unusual characteristics. The photographs. The harvest. The drying. And eventually, the final report. Each stage gives us something different to learn from. And because I'm also interested in photography, I enjoy documenting details that might otherwise be overlooked. That's why we have the studio photographs. That's why we have the stacks. That's why we show a little of the process behind the images. I want people to see more than the finished photograph. I want them to understand the time, patience, and curiosity that went into making it. The same applies to the grow diary itself. A harvest is not the end of the story. It's the beginning of another stage. And Frosted Guava still has more chapters to come. ──────────────────────── 🦄 THE LITTLE UNICORN HAS EARNED HER NAME Looking back at this girl's journey, I think the nickname fits her perfectly. 😂🦄 She's been unusual. She's been interesting. She's given us those beautiful foxtailing structures. And she has kept me curious throughout the flowering process. I never wanted her to look exactly like another plant. I wanted to see what this particular phenotype would do. And she showed us. That's the beauty of following individual plants. You get to know their characteristics, document their differences, and appreciate each one for what she actually is. Frosted Guava Pheno A doesn't need to be another plant. She has her own story. And now, even though she's left the tent, that story continues. The next part will be about drying, and after that we'll have more to share. So don't go anywhere, little unicorn fans! 😂🦄🌸 We're not finished yet. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? The flowering chapter is complete for Frosted Guava Pheno A. But the overall journey isn't finished. Next, we'll continue documenting the drying process and see how long she takes under the conditions we're maintaining. We'll share more details as the process progresses. And eventually, we'll bring together the remaining observations in her final report. That means more photographs, more information, and another opportunity to look back at the entire journey. For now, she's resting. The rest of the room is still flowering. And I'm already looking forward to the next chapter. 🦄🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE LITTLE UNICORN HAS LEFT THE TENT Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Harvest day. 🦄👑🌸✂️ What a beautiful journey this girl has given us. She started as a seed. She grew into her own personality. She developed those unusual foxtailing structures. She kept surprising us. And now, she's completed her flowering journey and moved on to drying. We've documented her last day inside the tent. We've taken her to the studio. We've photographed her from different angles. We've created several photo stacks. We've shared a little of the process behind the photographs. We've harvested her. We've removed the leaves we didn't want to keep. We've placed most of the flowers on the drying rack. And we've kept a few beautiful colas intact so we can appreciate them after drying. But we're not calling this the final report. There's still more to come. The drying process is underway, and we'll document that journey in the next update or updates, depending on what we have to share. The rest of the room is still going, and the 8×8 Adventure continues. So, little unicorn… Thank you for the show. Thank you for the beautiful photographs. Thank you for the strange and wonderful flowers. Thank you for keeping me curious. 😂🦄💚 You have left the tent, but you haven't left the story. We'll keep following your journey through drying and beyond. And when the time comes, we'll bring everything together in the final report. Until then… Rest well, little unicorn. Your next chapter has begun. 🦄🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. And thank you for understanding why this harvest-day update appears under a flowering week. The platform's photo limit means we need to divide the material into manageable updates, and I would rather share the full story across several chapters than leave important parts undocumented. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this beautiful little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the growing-media and nutritional side of this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, comments, asks questions, shares experiences, and enjoys the journey with us. Every bit of support means a lot. 💚 🌿 COME JOIN OUR COMMUNITY! If you're looking for a place to talk, learn, share experiences, ask questions, or simply hang out with fellow plant enthusiasts, you're more than welcome to join us on Discord. 💚 DogDoctorOfficial Community: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial The community keeps growing, and we're building something I genuinely love being part of. We have conversations, community discount codes, competitions, prizes, giveaways, and plenty of opportunities to share experiences with people who enjoy this plant as much as we do. But the most important part isn't the discounts or the prizes. It's the people. It's the conversations. It's the friendships. It's the feeling that you can come in, say hello, ask a question, share something you've learned, or simply listen. There's no experience level required. You don't have to be an expert. You don't have to know every technical term. You don't even have to speak all the time. Everybody is welcome, and nobody needs to prove themselves before joining the conversation. We want a community where people can learn from each other, enjoy the subject, and feel comfortable being part of the group. For me, it's becoming something that feels like family. And we'd love to have you with us. 💚🌱🤝 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you in the next chapter of the 8×8 Adventure… where one little unicorn has left the tent, the rest of the room continues its journey, the studio lights are finally cooling down, and DogDoctor is already looking forward to the next set of photographs. 😂📸🦄 The harvest is done. The drying journey has begun. And the story continues. Let her shine. 💚🦄🌸

Cosecha finalizada, fue una de las mejores plantas que e tenido, su aroma fuerte a menta y pegamento invadió toda mi casa, ni hablar del tamaño mounstruoso

Day 44, 16th of September 2020: I think she just keeps asking me why why why do you torture me ? I say I do lova ya but I love LST as well baby. Sorry.... Repotted I think it is 2 L because she required. Crazy LST done ✔️ Anyways I.placed her under 600W Viparsectra PAR 600 in the tent. Some boost before starts flowering ;)

LST TIME ☘️

Hey now! This week went pretty well, I did notice my EC of my runoff was getting pretty high on day 65, it got up to about 1.9, and my nutrient solution going in was at 1.6. I ended up mixing a bucket of my normal fertilizer, and hand watering all the places my drip ring wasn't really hitting, and i got the EC back down to about 1.7. I also got a tip from MrJones to setup some type of support for the colas. I ended up tying some 550 (parachute) cord across the top of my tent poles, then I ties little loops around the colas with the same soft cord. I then used wire ties to attach the loops to the 550 cord. I also am slowly reducing my EC, as I believe I only have a couple weeks left. I am also going to be switching from Liquid KoolBloom to Dry KoolBloom at some point later in week 10. If anyone has any experience on the correct timing of this switch to ripening formula, please hit me up! I am still struggling a bit with heat and humidity, and am considering buying another dehumidifier for my next grow. As always, Thank you to everyone for all of your encouragement, support and tips!! Blaze on!
