may 19: day 22 flower

Monday 16/06/2025, start of week 5. The stretch is underway and has been for a few days, happy with how she looks health-wise currently although I've made some mistakes along the way that she has had to recover from. i made one final tuck under the net on day 29 (17/06/2025) although it's not a proper scrog by any stretch of the imagination, it's helped keep the canopy level so the side branching could catch up, and I'm letting her go now, hoping she stretches a good 20-30cm but we will see. Day 30, fed at 1.2ec, was probably 12 hours late on the watering as she did not look happy at all, bounced straight back though once fed. Day 31, not much to report, a lighter shade on the newest growth but to be expected at this stage, I've pinched a few of the lower fan leaves over the last few days. Day 32 backed the lights off slightly as the leaves were looking a little light stressed. Day 34, fed with calmag and water only at 0.4 ec, forgot to ph it down but hopefully it won't matter too much in soil, she's had a good stretch over the last day or 2. 22/06/2025, end of week 5, happy with the progress this week, pinched a few more leaves today and reorganised the canopy a bit, had a bit of a heatwave over the last few days so had to increase the humidity to compensate, this also helped with the temps although she did have to deal with temps around 28c for quite a few hours and up to 29c for a very short time, didn't seem to have any ill effects though, temps now settled back around 26c. Looking forward to seeing some bud development in the upcoming week.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 A Different Personality, the Same Strong Foundation One of the reasons I enjoy phenotype hunts so much is that even when two plants share exactly the same genetics, environment, and care, they still find their own way to express themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is proving exactly that. Growing alongside her sister inside the 8×8 Adventure, under the same 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has chosen a slightly different path. While Pheno A developed into a broader, more evenly spread canopy, this lady has remained a little more compact and slightly shorter, standing at 88 cm, with a beautiful upright structure that feels elegant and incredibly well organized. Different personality. Same healthy foundation. And she’s looking absolutely fantastic. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – A Beautiful Transition into Flower The flowering stretch is beginning to slow, and the plant is now directing more of her energy toward what really matters—building flowers. Despite being the smaller sister, there is nothing small about her health or vigor. She has developed strong branching, excellent stem thickness, and a wonderfully open architecture that allows light to travel throughout the entire plant. Looking at her from the side, every branch seems to have found its own space. Looking from above, the canopy remains balanced, symmetrical, and full of promising flowering sites. She carries herself with confidence. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Structure Like the rest of this project, the focus has never been on forcing the plant into shape. Instead, careful Low Stress Training, gentle branch positioning, and occasional leaf tucking have allowed her natural structure to reveal itself. This phenotype responded beautifully. Rather than becoming extremely wide, she developed a more vertical framework while still maintaining excellent branch spacing and airflow. Every flowering site now enjoys plenty of light exposure, and the open interior should help support healthy flower development throughout the coming weeks. Sometimes the best training is simply allowing the plant to guide you. ⸻ ? The Arrival of Flower This week, flowering is no longer something that’s coming. It’s here. Fresh white pistils now decorate nearly every growing tip, transforming what were once simple shoots into the first true bud sites. Those bright white hairs always bring a special feeling. They’re the first real promise of what’s ahead. The tops are beginning to stack, secondary branches are joining the party, and little by little, the architecture of the final harvest is starting to reveal itself. It’s one of the most exciting moments of every grow. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional across the entire plant. The leaves display a rich, healthy green, with beautiful turgor and excellent posture from top to bottom. The stems continue strengthening, new growth remains vibrant, and the overall appearance is one of complete balance. She may be slightly more compact than her sister, but she radiates exactly the same vitality. Every photo reflects a plant that is comfortable, thriving, and fully focused on flowering. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, this Frosted Guava isn’t connected to the AutoPot system. She has been hand-watered throughout the entire grow, receiving exactly the same nutrient solution and environmental conditions while allowing a little more hands-on interaction during irrigation. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 Even with different irrigation methods, she’s demonstrating just how consistent the Plagron program can be when paired with careful observation and stable environmental conditions. Different watering style. Same excellent results. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment This entire project continues benefiting from an incredibly stable growing environment. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Every phenotype inside the room experiences the same carefully managed climate, allowing their unique genetic differences—not environmental inconsistencies—to tell the story. That consistency is becoming more evident with every passing week. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch is nearly complete, and now the real excitement begins. Over the coming weeks, I expect these fresh pistils to multiply rapidly as each flowering site begins stacking into properly formed buds. Her slightly more compact stature could become a real advantage later in flower, potentially producing dense, well-supported colas throughout the canopy. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to let the flowers take over. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is a wonderful reminder that every plant deserves to be appreciated for what it naturally wants to become. She isn’t trying to compete with her sister. She simply expresses the same genetics in her own unique way. A little shorter. A little more compact. Just as healthy. Just as beautiful. Watching both Frosted Guava phenotypes develop side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. It’s these subtle differences that make every grow, every phenotype, and every harvest its own unique story. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the opportunity to explore these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the amazing lighting, TrolMaster for keeping the environment perfectly controlled, and to everyone following, commenting, and supporting this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement makes every weekly update even more enjoyable to create. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 2 veg. Starting some LST this week. Pretty new to this so hopefully all goes well!

Flushing phase has started and in a few days it’s chop time!“​​​​​​

This week I just let her stretch.. Normal feeding schedule with no training.. With this strain I would love to test how she does with absolutely no pressure on her..

The girls are stretching nicely and looking healthy as can be. I added the second trellis for extra support when the buds will be ripening in late flower. There’s already some early ice, on the fan leaves too, so that’s a good start! Some pheno’s seem a little quicker with creating flowers, but since these are f1 seeds it’s not so crazy that there’s some difference. It looks like I’ve got either 3 or 4 quite different pheno’s, which is exiting. I’ll do a big defolation on day 21 of 12/12 so you’ll see that in the next weekly update 👌🏻

First things first, the smell coming from the lemon is absolutely delicious! Super super, almost like candy with a super sour hint to it. I am so keen to taste her! LSD-25; Fattening and fattening, she's starting to stack on the weight now, I'm hoping for another 3 weeks before chop. Lemon OG Haze; The buds are really starting to form now, I'm hoping to have some nice looking colas come next Friday. Imma giver her probably 5 weeks at this stage, but she is a bit of a slow grower so we'll see.

Willkommen zu meinem Growbericht der Gorilla Cookies Auto von 2Fast4Buds. Der Strain wurde 2022 zur besten Indica beim Autoflower World Cup gewählt. Laut FastBuds deren meistverkaufter Strain. Grund genug, den Strain zu testen. Für den Grow verwende ich 15 Liter ROOTiES Stofftöpfe. Ich war sehr zufrieden mit der Sonnenerde, deshalb habe ich nachbestellt. Sonnenerde hat seine Mischung für die Bio Hanferde letzten Oktober/November geändert. Jetzt sind da kleine Tonkügelchen drin und kleine Gipsstückchen. Laut Sonnenerde soll das die Erde luftiger machen. Auf den Fotos kann man die unterschiedlichen Mischungen gut erkennen. In den AirPots ist die alte Sonnenerde, in den Stofftöpfen die neue. So kann man das Wachstum in den verschiedenen Erden schön vergleichen. Die Smart Start Plugs von zamnesia hab ich wieder verwendet. Tag 29: Die Gorilla Cookies Automatic von FastBuds hat erste Blüteanzeichen und bekommt noch etwas LST. Tag 32: Sie wächst wie ein Schirm. Schön, das du dir meinen Bericht ansiehst. Schau gerne wieder rein. 👋😎

Over the last week I’ve continued with defoliation process and I removed downer leaves that were not developing properly. On day 78 I added support for aide branches on B and C. I started flush of plant C on day 80, so we’ll see how she looks. I keep feeding other plants but I will be starting flush soon. 😎

This strain is very heterozygous. 4 seeds were started. The 4 phenos were very different. I saved 2 of those phenos for my arsenal, which is quite exceptionnal. I ususally save just one pheno from a strain. The Pheno #1 was mainly sativa (75%). Long branches. Lots of fluffy buds. The more resistant to mold, but it has to be with the fluffiness. The taste was cheesy and spicy, which has nothing to see with the 3 other phenos. Not a single ressemblance with ak-47 parents as well. It shares the musky undertones of the strain, but nothing else. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. Terpene profile was deceiving, just as the cannabinoid content. The Pheno #2 has more indica in it (45% indica). robust and tall plant with dense heavy buds. No mold resistance at all. Biggest producer. The taste was earthy and musky with hints of wood. That pheno is gone. Not enough potential. The Pheno #3 is my favorite one. It reminded me of the good old Ak-47, with her flowery/sweet/skunky smell and taste. Pure nostalgia! Tall and quite robust plant with huge fluffy buds coated with trichomes. She grows pretty similar to Lemon Skunk if you know the reference. Great producer of top quality buds. So sticky! In my top 3 sativa for 2 years. The aroma is very close to the old school Ak-47: sweet, flowery and skunky. It tastes like sweet lemon on the inhale, with a sharp touch of spicy lavender and earth on the exhale. IMO, that is the pheno we want to save from that heterozygous strain. Backcrossing this one would be a very good idea. The Pheno #4 is just as interesting as my favorite #3. The only issue with this one is about mold resistance. Crazy compact and heavy budst! One of the most productive I’ve ever seen too. More traits of the Ak-47 in the aromatic profile, but nothing like the #3. On the structure side, we can immediately recognize the sturdy and bushy structure of Ak-47. THC content is very high too. I suspect the CBD content to be high as well. The effect is a mood elevation, with good focus and a deep body relaxation; a bit similar to what White widow does. The aroma is earthy and pungent. Very skunky and musky. It tastes very sweet and earthy on the inhale, with hints of skunk on the exhale. That pheno #4 expresses the best traits of the Ak-47 in its structure, while pheno #3 kept the aromatic profile.

good, expected the plant to be a little bit bigger despite the fact that I had intentionally kept it as small as possible, just wish it could take 70 days rather than 90 but still happy with the outcome000

Cut net down this week and had a reshuffle around, dos si dos was a lot taller so move lights up and put other 3 plants on top on boxes to level top as much as i can Had to do a little late trimming to help airflow down low and just give a little more breathing space as suffered with a little rot on my first grow luckily not too bad though but fingers crossed none at all this time, i managed to avoid it on my secone grow so hopefully will be ok Plant looks strong and healthy, had no issues so far plenty of tops cant wait to see it fatten up

Day 50. Mix some fish blood, bat guano and eggs shell mix and add to nutrients and let it turn to super tea. Have look how it is going on… Day 52. Watering with before recorded nutrients mix option.. Day 55. Watering with 2.5L nutrient mix and for balance pH level add extra 0.5mL ph down.

Another good week, just puttering away on grow. Did some high stress training on plant to space out a bit better. Added 2 more buckets and moved 2 plants from the incubator tent. See the video for details. PPM: 400-500 in res; the drain side is only spiking 50-100ppm. Looking fairly good. Trying to keep VPD bit more in range on this grow; closely controlling temp and humidity. Issues: 1. humidifier died in spectacular dump of 4 gallons of water on the floor; made a custom system. 2. The drain line vacuum locks; going need a air-pump or vent line to break the vac. 3. The different plant sizes require different feed ppm and cycles on timer. The larger plant likes 5 seconds on / 5 mins off. Vid series over here on grow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C9piZD0Qs8&list=PLNiOfaE13UMnEon7e5ytiQTRkqMeSn2YH

12/12 mode ON lets see what this will bring so far so good growing nicely and happy lets goooooo

18/1 Zammi still beautiful as allways

Second week of flowering completed, they are all very beautiful and healthy. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I've been very busy lately so I haven't been able to give them much attention. Luckily I automated the watering process, otherwise it would be very difficult days. But completing the initial 21 days, I will do a good defoliation and take photos of them separately. Peace be with you all! ✌️🙏

Sguimos avanzando con la papaya zoap! Tiene muy buena pinta y está muy sana,a pasado unas semanas de calor de incluso recibir tres riegos durante el día es increíble el viento tan seco que pasa por aquí. Veremos que tal se va tornando en olores colores y formas! Será algo diferente dentro de las sativas que es mi punto!
