Things are getting frosty around here! Critical Cures are at the top of the class. Critical Mass is in second. Charlotte's Angels are in third. Durga Mata is in fourth, with Blue Shark rounding out the pack as far as blooms are concerned, and how far along they are. This week I used the last of my "Tiger Bloom" and "Big Bloom" and I didn't feel like buying more, so I started making compost tea! It comes from my pile that consists of kitchen scraps, horse, chicken and sheep manure. They seem to be liking it. I also gave them a little nitrogen foliar spray this morning. I've had to spray insecticidal soap twice this week. Smells so fragrant out there, it's attracting a lot of bugs. I sent a pic of one of the Critical Cure's to a friend of mine saying "Not long now!" (As in like 3-4 weeks on this particular plant) to which he replied: "You've still got 6-7 weeks!" No, just no. Same guy also told me my plants would be 8 ft high. Ha! Silly boys.

Chance of a Lifetime Greenhouse Seeds Wonder Pie Week five 5th June 2020 Welcome back to my Wonder pie Diary for the Greenhouse Seeds Win a trip to amsterdam Contest. It's been a busy week for the three plants. I waited until aprox mid week (Tuesday 2nd June) to begin some LST And each plant proved to be tricky in one way or another. Plant 1 has very flexible branches that I needed to use tent pegs on to hold down each branch I wanted to train. Plant 2 is very bushy and has quite a few side branches happening so I managed to tie down atleast 6 with some soft wire and left the others to grow a bit longer before I try more LST. Plant 3 was the trickiest because the branches are very stiff and not very willing to bend . I found this out by accidently snapping a branch off. I managed to tie a few down but have the two main branches still growing vertically for the time being. (Wed 3rd June ) Not touching them today and will water tomorrow (Thurs 4th June) Watered each plant with 2 Litres of Water (Friday 5th June) Today I am very happy with the way they responded to the LST all three plants have really bounced back well and look super happy. I have been playing around with a homemade CO2 producer which is very easy to make with household items. Basically I re-used a 1.5l empty water bottle as the container. Then I simply punched a small hole in the lid for the CO2 gas to escape. I then added aprox 7-10 teaspoons of Sugar & half filled it with nice warm water (not too hot) and let the sugar dissolve. Then I added 3 teaspoons of Bakers Yeast and gently shook it all up before placing the lid with the hole in it back on the bottle and placing it inside the Grow tent. The principle of this is that the yeast and sugar react with each other to start "Fermenting" which causes the release of gasses which are made up of CO2. Now whether or not this does anything to make the plants grow any faster is conjecture on my part but I have noticed that the plants look very healthy and growth has been more this week than previous weeks so who knows????? It's worth a try if you have the time and inclination to try it. Well that brings me to the end of this weeks Wonder Pie update. Thankyou very much for taking the time to Read it, I truly do appreciate the kind words and likes etc and I shall be back next week with another. ๐Ÿ‘

Hello, again in touch Russian grower. Today my girls 70 days, 10 weeks. The fruits make me very happy, and the smell knocks me down. Soon I plan to make the harvest Bubblelicious Auto, my patience is not enough, and in appearance we can say that this is a full Mature flower. Despite the additional air filtration and automated odor neutralizers for bathrooms, the smell is coming out the door. But it remains to endure quite a bit, so I'm not afraid. The most difficult is behind, but a lot of pleasant in the future. Bubblelicious Auto - The smell of these plants has become simply stunning, like a hammer blow to the face, I hope the quality of the final product will not be worse. They look like beautiful porn Actresses ๐Ÿ˜ In the microscope I see amber trichomes. Neville Haze Auto-lives up to my expectations. They do not have enough space for full flowering, but soon they will be spacious. Because of their neighbors, I can't really smell them. The plant is very cheerful, progressing, but I think it will bloom for at least three weeks. I also have some good news, mail delivery brought me measuring instruments, so now my diaries will be more accurate. I Express my gratitude to all those who follow my progress and support me. Your moral support is very important to us. I'm not going to stop, and promise to please you with new and more interesting diaries. Hope all goes well and the police pass by me! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

What I can i say other than Ethos Genetics kicks ass. I love growing their gear and will continue for as long as I can. This girl here took very well to training and feeding increases. Her terpene profile early on was undeniably Strawberry but gradually took a citrus dominant turn with some notes of pine. She was a moderate strechter and produced nice full trichomes that I'm sure would give a great return if pressed. The buds themselves are extremely sticky,pungent and dense. I used CX Horticulture and did what most dont do and used the recommended feeding chart ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™Š. I am glad to say she took it like a champ and for future grows of this strain I know I can up my ppm/EC next time. I yielded 6.25 ounces off of a 10 gallon pot and I know that's not impressive but it's my first time growing in a pot that big so many things learned. I will say after looking at the rootball I could have vegged for several more weeks but again knowledge is power and I've gained some ๐Ÿ˜‰

The plants had water week one and most of week , then at the end of week 2 I added a little Elite 91 roots to the feeds. I started these outside and have repotted them today into 5 litres pots, premixed with some Greenhouse Feed Biogrow . They also came inside today and sit under by 100w Quantam board easygrow miracle. About the genetics Mr X Kush is from Plantformers a breeder and great guy from just outside Amsterdam , it is a mix of Platinum OG and Durban Poison. Kmintz from a Ripper Seeds a cross of Kush Mints and Zkittles. Sounds legit. Both strains I need to try. These were gifted by Organic Earth in Maastricht, a nice shop . They also gave me Papaya x THC bomb from Purple City Genetics in Oakland USA. Papaya x (Purple Urkel x THC Bomb) OGKZ is an OGKB x Zkittles from Humboldt seeds a breeder that always seem to bring the frost and terps in my past experience. Finally Cuppa T is a regular cross my friend made from UKORG Disco Biscuit and Connoiseur Gentics Purple Cheddar

Start of 12/12 light cycle, round 2 with the citrus skunk strain. Increased feeding to 6L per plant (water + nutes), hopefully this increase will keep the plants healthier throughout the grow.

Everything is still going good for this week just giving 6.2 PH Tap water with a bubbler for 24 hours before I fill my Reservoir. July 2 when my lights came back on at 5pm I decided to Defoliate these two girls and add a ScrOG net for some extra support and some tucking for the leaves. July 6th last day of week 8 I took the other two plants in the back out of the tent today so I can flip these to 12 on 12 off.

8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 11 Blueberry Muffin โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’š The Little One Keeps Shining Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you already know exactly what makes this girl special. She's small. She's slow. She's compact. She's beautifully green. And somehow... she keeps getting more beautiful every week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š While some of the plants around her have been stretching, reaching and trying to occupy every possible centimetre of the room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has remained completely committed to her own philosophy. Stay small. Build flowers. Look beautiful. Take your time. And honestly? I respect it. This week isn't about dramatic intervention. It's about watching her continue to develop while we give her exactly what she needs. Because at this stage of flowering... sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply let the plant finish her story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 11 โ€“ The Quiet Stage Of Flowering We're now at that interesting point in the flowering cycle where the major structural work is already behind us. The plant has her architecture. The flowering sites are established. The roots are established. The irrigation system is running. The nutrition is established. The lighting is in place. And now... the flowers get to do the talking. That's exactly where Pheno B is right now. We're not constantly reaching into the canopy. We're not trying to reshape her. We're not trying to make her taller. We're not trying to make her behave like another phenotype. We're simply observing. Watering. Feeding. Monitoring the environment. Checking the flowers. And making adjustments only where the plants actually ask for them. Pheno B isn't asking for much. She's just quietly getting on with the job. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Small Doesn't Mean She's Not Working This little girl continues proving one of my favourite points from the entire 8ร—8 Adventure: Height isn't everything. At around 75 cm, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still one of the smallest plants in the room. But look at her. She's lush. She's green. She's full of flowering sites. She's compact. She's developing density. And she's filling her available space extremely well. She's not wasting energy trying to become a giant. She's simply using the architecture she has. And that's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't always get what you expect. Sometimes the plant gives you something completely different from the picture you had in your head. And instead of fighting it... you learn to appreciate it. Pheno B has made her position very clear. She's the little one. And she's perfectly happy with that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Becoming The Story At this stage, her height isn't really what I'm watching anymore. I'm watching the flowers. And they're looking beautiful. The developing buds continue gaining structure and volume. The plant is gradually becoming more dominated by flowering growth, and those compact branches are carrying increasingly substantial floral sites. This is where the patience starts becoming rewarding. Week after week, the difference may seem small when you're standing in front of the plant every day. But compare photographs. Suddenly... you see it. More flower. More structure. More density. More maturity. And that's what we're looking for now. Not another giant burst of vegetative growth. Not another training session. Just development. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก Two More Future Of Grow Black Series 600W Fixtures Now, although we're doing very little to the plant physically this week, there has been an important development above her. Future of Grow provided us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test as part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. And that gave us a completely different lighting capability. Once the additional fixtures were added, the available PPFD increased considerably. Actually... a little more than I wanted. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So instead of simply running the fixtures at maximum power, we turned them down. We're currently running at approximately 59% power from the plug. At that setting, we're seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the intensity naturally decreasing lower down depending on plant height and canopy position. And I'm very happy with that. The important part isn't simply having 600W fixtures. It's having control over them. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”Œ More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I really enjoy demonstrating in a real grow. When you have powerful equipment, you don't necessarily need to run it flat out. We increased the available lighting. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the power. Simple. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now we're still providing an extremely strong light environment while using less electricity. We're also avoiding unnecessary stress on the fixtures and the associated equipment. And we're giving ourselves room to adjust later if the plants tell us they want something different. That's one of the reasons I'm so happy with the additional Future of Grow fixtures. They give us more capability. More control. And more room to experiment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD At The Top The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're seeing is measured across the upper canopy. Obviously, Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is not a perfectly flat surface. She's a living plant. Some flowers are higher. Some are lower. Some leaves face the fixtures directly. Others sit at different angles. So the light naturally changes throughout the structure. And that's exactly what we expect. The goal isn't to make every single square centimetre of the plant receive identical light. The goal is to create a strong overall light environment and allow the plant to use those photons as efficiently as possible. And with Pheno B's compact architecture, this is particularly interesting. She has a relatively small vertical footprint, so we're able to provide a very strong upper-canopy environment without needing to chase a huge plant through the tent. She's compact. The light is strong. And now... we watch what she does with it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Future Of Grow โ€“ A Big Thank You I want to give Future of Grow a special shout-out this week. Providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gives us the opportunity to explore how these plants respond when we substantially increase the available lighting capability. And we're not just turning everything on and walking away. We're testing. We're adjusting. We're measuring. We're finding the level that makes sense. That's exactly the kind of real-world testing I enjoy doing. We increased the lighting. We saw where the PPFD went. We decided it was more than necessary. We reduced the output. And now we're sitting at a level I'm very comfortable with. More capability. Less unnecessary power consumption. And plenty of light. That's a pretty good combination. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Pheno B Under The New Lighting And what about our little Blueberry Muffin? She's happy. That's really the simplest way to describe it. Her foliage remains lush. Her colour remains beautiful. Her flowering development continues. And she isn't giving us any reason to suddenly start changing everything. So we're not. She's doing her thing. We're doing ours. The lights provide the photons. The roots provide the foundation. The irrigation provides the water and nutrients. The environment provides the conditions. And the plant decides how to put everything together. That's the fun part. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฅฅ Nutrition โ€“ Another Small Step There was also a small nutritional adjustment this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply increasing Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 ml/L to 2.3 ml/L. The current recipe is: โ€ข Terra Bloom โ€” 2.3 ml/L โ€ข Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L โ€ข Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L That small increase in Terra Bloom brought the EC up slightly. We're now sitting around: โšก EC โ€” 2.14 mS/cm Again... Nothing dramatic. Just a small measured progression as flowering continues. I don't believe in changing things simply because the calendar says another week has passed. The plant tells us what she needs. And Pheno B is telling us: "I'm happy." So we're making small adjustments rather than dramatic ones. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€“ Keep The Roots Happy The irrigation remains consistent as well. We're currently around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours The current root-zone conditions remain stable, with the solution and substrate both around 25ยฐC. That's important. Because while we can change the lighting strategy, adjust nutrition and make other decisions above the canopy... The roots still need consistency. Water. Nutrition. Oxygen. A stable root environment. And Pheno B is receiving exactly that. Her slow growth isn't something we're trying to correct through excessive inputs. That's simply her phenotype. We're supporting her rather than trying to force her to become somebody else. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 11 โ€“ Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 26.5ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 6.02 โ€ข โšก EC: 2.14 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ? Pot Size: 15 L โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Plant Height: approximately 75 cm The room continues to remain stable overall. Summer can still create small fluctuations, of course, but we're keeping the variables we can control as consistent as possible. And that's particularly important at this stage. We're not looking for perfection every minute of every day. We're looking for stability. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  Why We're Not Touching Her I think this deserves its own section because it's an important part of the grow. There is always a temptation to do something. Remove a leaf. Move a branch. Change the feeding. Change the light. Adjust something. But sometimes... there is nothing that needs fixing. Pheno B has a good structure. Her flowers are developing. Her foliage is healthy. Her environment is stable. Her irrigation is consistent. Her nutrition is working. So why would I disturb her? We're watching her closely. We're checking for problems. We're monitoring development. But we're not manufacturing problems just because we feel like we should be doing something. This is the stage where patience becomes cultivation too. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Compact Architecture โ€“ A Little Advantage Her compact size is actually becoming quite enjoyable at this stage. There isn't a huge vertical structure to manage. There isn't an enormous stretch creating constant challenges. She's simply sitting there... building. Her flowers are concentrated through a compact architecture, and that makes her a fascinating contrast to some of the taller plants in the 8ร—8. Same room. Same general philosophy. Same lighting. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Different genetic expression. That's the experiment. And Pheno B continues giving us a very clear answer. Small. Compact. Slow. But beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Photographs Tell The Truth This is another reason I love keeping individual diaries. If we only photographed the whole room, Pheno B could easily disappear into the bigger picture. But when you isolate her... You can appreciate her. The lush foliage. The compact structure. The developing flowers. The density. The colour. The progression. She's not competing with anyone anymore. She doesn't need to. She's simply showing us what she can do. And honestly... I think she's doing a beautiful job. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Photons, Plants & Patience One of the things this stage reminds me of is that lighting is only one piece of the equation. We're now giving these girls a very strong lighting environment. Approximately 1,500 PPFD at the upper canopy. That's a lot of photons. But photons alone don't grow flowers. The plant still needs: Water. Nutrition. Healthy roots. COโ‚‚. Temperature control. Humidity control. Healthy foliage. And time. Everything has to work together. That's why we're not simply adding light and then expecting miracles. We're giving the plants a complete environment and watching how they respond. Pheno B is responding in her own way. Slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ Same Genetics, Different Personality This is probably one of the biggest reasons I enjoy having both Blueberry Muffin phenotypes documented separately. They're related. They're growing under the same general conditions. But they don't express themselves exactly the same way. Pheno B has consistently shown us that she's the smaller, slower phenotype. And instead of treating that as something that needs correction... I'm treating it as information. This is what her genetics are expressing. And that's valuable. Because the purpose of a phenotype diary isn't to make every plant behave the same. It's to discover how they behave. And this little girl has been very clear. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead From here... We're keeping things simple. We're going to continue monitoring the flowers. Continue checking the foliage. Continue watching the environmental conditions. Continue providing consistent irrigation. Continue with the flowering nutrition. And continue testing the new lighting setup. The two additional Future of Grow fixtures give us another exciting variable to observe. We've already found a power level we're comfortable with. Now we'll watch how the plants respond over the coming weeks. And as for Pheno B? She's going to keep doing what she does best. Take her time. Build quietly. And look beautiful while doing it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Final Thoughts โ€“ Let The Little One Finish I think that's probably the biggest lesson this girl continues teaching me. Not every plant needs to be big. Not every plant needs to be fast. Not every plant needs constant intervention. And not every phenotype needs to be pushed toward the same result. Sometimes... the little one is exactly the one you want to watch. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is compact. She's slow. She's lush. She's green. She's flowering beautifully. And she's becoming increasingly dense. This week we haven't needed to do much physically to her. And that's okay. We've provided the light. We've provided the nutrition. We've provided the irrigation. We've provided the environment. And now... we give her time. That's the stage we're in. The plant has done her part. Now we watch the flowers finish the story. And with the new Future of Grow lighting above her, a small increase in nutrition, a stable environment and a very happy-looking plant... I'm really curious to see what this little Blueberry Muffin becomes by the end. For now? She's shining. And that's enough. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and to follow this beautiful phenotype individually throughout the entire journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting these girls through flowering and helping us maintain such healthy, lush plants. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting that has been powering this room and, especially this week, for providing two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test. Having more lighting capability and then being able to control the output to find the level that makes sense for the plants is exactly the kind of experiment I love documenting. And thank you to Lumiflora for continuing to contribute additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures rather than simply flat canopies. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. This project continues showing us something I never get tired of seeing: Same room. Same environment. Same general cultivation philosophy. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different stories. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B may still be the little one. She may still be the slow one. But she's also one of the most charming plants in this room. She's compact. She's lush. She's beautiful. And she's quietly building something very interesting. So this week, there isn't a dramatic intervention. There doesn't need to be. We're simply giving her what she needs... and letting her finish. Keep shining, little girl. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

New leaves still discolored but growing apparently correctly. Possible reasons: - genetics (?) - heavy fertilized soil - Batmix from Plagron was used (?)
