This is the first day of week 4. I decided against any form or training or topping and decided to focus on watering and getting nutrients correct for this first grow. Being it’s a tent grow, I can essentially grow when I choose now anyway. Touching the plant leaves the soft but pleasant smell on your fingers that we all know and love. I’ve also drilled more holes in the bottom of the pot and do get some runoff when I water now. Considering switching to 12/12 in a weeks time.

Piante molto compatte con come ed infiorescenze molto dure,pesanti ed appiccicose e colorate! Facile da essiccare e resistente a muffe e parassite, buonissima al massimo tra le varietà kush penso sia la migliore! Effetto molto rilassante e duraturo. È semplicemente bellissima e colorata e buonissima, credo che ogni coltivatore deve avere questa perla colorata sempre!

I thought my seed was done for after the casing fell off, but I observed and noticed the leafs came out first then the root. Was told when this happens its fine, just place immediately into growing choice for next stage. I love plants, I'm enjoying the process already.

One more week of growth, the plant looks like it's entering pre-flowering Keeping the LED at a distance of 45cm from the plant. Every two days I also put a CO2 tablet in a glass of water, this water will serve to water the plant with nutrients. Watering is done with 500ml every two days. I already have the PH meter, I learned that I hope I'm not doing anything too wrong, a hug and see you next week.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A | Week 4 Building Momentum Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to tell its own story while revealing the subtle genetic differences that make every seed unique. Week 4 has been all about momentum. The explosive growth we witnessed last week has continued, and the entire room is now beginning to transition from a collection of young plants into a true miniature forest. Every morning seems to reveal another noticeable change, with canopies becoming fuller, branches extending further, and the first signs that these plants are preparing for the flowering stretch ahead. One thing that made me smile this week was the environmental reading… 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room decided to have a thing for the number three. 😄 While 33°C is certainly warmer than I’d normally aim for, the elevated humidity has helped keep the plants comfortable, and despite the warmer conditions the entire room continues to respond beautifully. Sometimes plants remind us that they can be a little more forgiving than we give them credit for—as long as every other parameter remains stable. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed One interesting development this week is the variation in PPFD across the room. The lighting itself hasn’t changed dramatically—instead, the plants have. Some phenotypes are simply growing faster than others, naturally moving closer to the LEDs and receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter plants remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that even under identical conditions, every phenotype follows its own timeline. ⸻ Feeding Strategy As the plants continue accelerating, the feeding program has started to evolve alongside them. Throughout the early weeks, the nutrient solution remained around pH 5.8, encouraging rapid nutrient availability while the young root systems established themselves. Now that those roots have colonized much more of each container, the strategy shifts slightly. This week the nutrient solution gradually moved closer to pH 6.1, while EC increased progressively throughout the week, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No bottles were suddenly doubled. No drastic increases were made. Instead, the nutrient ratios were simply nudged upward enough to match the plants’ increasing appetite. The difference is subtle inside the reservoir but very noticeable in how vigorously the plants continue to grow. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also opens access to a broader range of nutrients within the soil, helping the plants take advantage of their now much more established root systems as demand begins increasing. At this stage, the feeding philosophy remains exactly the same: Feed the plant—not the calendar. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A What can I say… This girl has quietly become one of those plants that instantly catches my attention every time I unzip the tent. Last week I mentioned how she had completely outgrown her slightly awkward beginning. This week she has gone one step further. She looks completely at home. Her overall structure is becoming incredibly balanced, with strong lateral branches beginning to establish themselves while the main stem continues pushing upward with confidence. The internodal spacing remains impressively tight, creating a compact architecture that feels both efficient and elegant. Looking from above, the canopy almost arranges itself. Large fan leaves radiate outward like carefully positioned solar panels, leaving the growing tips exposed without requiring any intervention. Every branch seems to know exactly where it wants to go. The new growth is particularly striking. Bright lime-green leaves emerge from the centre packed with energy before gradually darkening as they mature, creating that beautiful contrast that healthy, fast-growing plants often display. One of my favourite observations this week is just how relaxed she looks. Despite the warmer room temperatures and steadily increasing nutrient strength, there are no signs of stress. Leaves remain flat, praying gently toward the light throughout much of the day, while every new node arrives with confidence. She’s no longer simply growing. She’s beginning to express herself. Each passing day reveals a little more of her personality, and so far that personality can be summed up in one word: Consistency. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She isn’t trying to grow the fastest. She’s simply building herself into a beautifully proportioned plant, one node at a time. If she continues along this trajectory, I have a feeling she’s going to become something very special by the time flowering is fully underway. ⸻ Looking Ahead The coming week should mark another important transition. With nutrient demand increasing, roots fully established, and several plants beginning to move naturally into higher PPFD levels, growth is expected to accelerate even further. Over the next week I’ll be paying particular attention to: • Stretch progression as flowering begins to establish itself. • Branch strength and canopy development. • Continued response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared with her sister phenotype. • The first real signs of Blueberry Muffin’s flowering character beginning to emerge. If Week 3 was about proving her potential… Week 4 feels like the week she’s beginning to fulfil it. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every week is another page in the journal, and the adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

Week 5 of flowering 10/16/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 5 Buds are getting bigger and thicker. Defoliated plants. Watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff) hand watering to full saturation of the media with 20% runoff at the end of the week. Checking runoff EC every 3 days. Lights now at max height and 90% power. After replacing the exhaust fan timer, didn't notice ant issues. Adding 2.5ml/gal of H2O2 (35%) to the reservoir to keep bacteria away.

Tag 28 – Neue Basis, stabiler Blick nach vorn 🌡️ Klima & Setup Die Bedingungen laufen weiterhin stabil. Temperatur und Luftfeuchte sind im Rahmen, auch wenn man merkt, dass durch die größere Topfmasse das Feuchtigkeitsverhalten etwas träger geworden ist. Mit Blick auf die kommende Abwesenheit wurde zusätzlich Reis als Mulchschicht eingebracht – weniger Verdunstung, weniger Trauermücken, stabileres Wassermanagement. 🌱 Pflanzenstatus Fruit Bomb Punch Durch das Topping deutlich eingebremst, genau wie geplant. Zeigt aktuell noch gelbliche Verfärbungen und leichte Stressreaktionen, vermutlich durch das Zusammenspiel aus neuem Substrat, Nährstoffverteilung und Eingriff. Wirkt noch nicht ganz „angekommen“, aber im Rahmen – das reguliert sich. Strawberry AK Weiterhin die ruhigere Vertreterin, aber konstant. Kommt stabil durch die Phase, ohne große Auffälligkeiten. Chicken & Waffles Hat sich sehr gut angepasst und steckt den Stress am besten weg. Wirkt aktuell am stabilsten und verarbeitet das neue Setup ohne sichtbare Probleme. ⚠️ Stress & Reaktion Der Doppelstress aus Umtopfen + Spruzit-Behandlung ist weiterhin sichtbar: Blattreaktionen leichte Verbrennungen insgesamt noch nicht voll im Wachstumsmodus Aber alles im erwartbaren Rahmen – die Basis passt. 🔮 Ausblick Jetzt geht’s darum, dass sich alles im neuen Medium stabilisiert. Sobald die Wurzeln richtig greifen, kommt der nächste Schub von allein. Gerade jetzt zeigen sich die ersten Unterschiede – genau das, was den Run spannend macht. Der Terp-Test läuft – am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🌱 🇬🇧 Day 28 – New foundation, steady forward view 🌡️ Environment & Setup Conditions remain stable overall. With the larger pots, moisture behavior has slowed down a bit. Added a rice mulch layer to reduce evaporation, control fungus gnats, and improve water retention during the upcoming absence. 🌱 Plant Status Fruit Bomb Punch Clearly slowed down by topping, as intended. Currently showing yellowing and mild stress signs, likely from the combination of new soil, shifting nutrient availability, and the topping itself. Not fully settled yet compared to the others, but within a normal range. Strawberry AK Still the calmer one, but steady. Moving through this phase without any major issues. Chicken & Waffles Handled the transition the best so far. Looks the most stable and adapts to the new setup without visible stress. ⚠️ Stress & Response The combined stress from transplant + Spruzit treatment is still visible: leaf reactions minor burn marks not fully back in full growth mode yet All expected – nothing concerning. 🔮 Outlook Now it’s all about root establishment in the new soil. Once that kicks in, growth will accelerate naturally. Differences are starting to show – exactly what makes this run interesting. The terp test is running – in the end, the jar decides. 🌱

Harvested on week 12 exactly. Was a little worried about bud rot during the early drying phase but it seems it just came out a little less bright green than I am accustomed to as there is no sign of rot after drying has completed and curing started. Don’t have a working scale anymore but my eye scale is legendary and I’d say probably got between a half oz and 3/4 of an oz, but would be shocked if it were over 1 oz. My best guess would be around 18g. Tried a small bit tonight right after I transferred to a jar for curing, nice hashy flavor with some pepper undertones. Smells very fruity in the jar, but definitely can smell the flavor without consuming too. The buzz is pretty nice. Balanced and relaxing but not too sleepy, definitely still functional. Seems it’d be best for lazy afternoons, winding down after a long day, or even laid back social events. Overall very happy with my first grow experience and excited to use what I learned next season. Thanks everyone who answered questions along the way, happy growing!

Had a great time documenting this grow, despite all the drama going on in my personal life. This is my last diary for a few months while we find a new home, but got all my seeds ready to go as soon as we're settled in. :) Thanks to everyone for all the comments and support. Much love! #girlsgrowtoo0

Both girls were up-potted into their final pots, one in a 5gal fabric pot and one in a 6.5gal plastic container. I planted them in fresh FFOF with a few handfuls of perlite and stopped feeding (water and 3ml/gal cal-mag only), both girls seem happy and look healthy albeit small for their age...i did a heavy defoliation on the bigger of the 2 plants and will do the same to the "runt" next week... Edit: 5 days after transplant and brown spots have appeared, I believe it to be calcium lockout, possibly a PH drop after switching to a hot grow media..i removed effected leaves, applied a top dressing of dolomite lime (tablespoon each) and watered 1 gallon PH'd to 7.5..will update
