Here we are into the beginning of true flowering! Stacking has begun, flower development is coming along beautifully, both plants are loving the 900PPFD & 2.0EC feed without signs of stress. Co2 is being implemented this week & leaf tucking will continue. The Bride Cake has surprised me with its stretch during this last week or 2, Growing nearly an inch every other day. No real serious trichome development yet so only a faint smell when first opening the tent. Both plants are drinking quite a lot which Iโ€™m very happy to see.

Week 7 Flower Report โ€“ The Masterpiece Garden Unfolds ๐ŸŒฑ Introduction Welcome back to the most thrilling chapter of our journey yet! Week 7 of flower is here, and the garden has transformed into a paradise of unique beauty and diversity. Every plant has its own personality, showcasing the results of all the hard work, dedication, and love poured into this run. Letโ€™s dive into the details and celebrate these girls like never beforeโ€”because they deserve it! ๐ŸŒธ Plant-by-Plant Breakdown Papaya Zoap The rebel queen of the garden, aiming for the stars with her towering structure. Her dense, frosty white nugs sparkle like diamonds, and her leaves are fading to a stunning yellow hueโ€”a clear sign sheโ€™s ready to shine. Her aroma is captivating, leaving no doubt sheโ€™s going to be a showstopper. Gorilla Melon Standing tall as the second in command, this beauty is all strength and vigor. Her vibrant green foliage cradles thick, frosty buds that exude a fragrance worthy of her name. A true contender for the title of MVP. RS11 This oneโ€™s a frost factory! Long, elegant buds dripping in trichomes, with leaves gracefully fading to yellow as she transitions toward the finish line. Her balanced stature and impeccable structure make her a dream to cultivate. Green Papaya The frostiest of them all, her sugar leaves are curling under the weight of so much resin. Every glance reveals a shimmering coat of trichomes thatโ€™s hard to believe. If frost were a competition, sheโ€™d already have the gold medal! Mandarin Squeeze Dark and mysterious, this beauty stands out with her rich, deep green tones and impressively dense buds. Her flowers feel like rocks, and her aroma hints at a citrusy explosion waiting to happen. Punch Pie What can we say about this heavyweight? Her large, dense buds are jaw-dropping, and her presence in the tent is commanding. Sheโ€™s proving to be a genetic masterpiece, delivering beyond expectations. ๐ŸŒž Environmental Mastery This week, weโ€™ve begun the slow decline of PPFD to 750, keeping reds and UVs strong while easing back on whitesโ€”a calculated move to guide these girls into the final stages. The roomโ€™s stats speak volumes: โ€ข Temps: 27.8ยฐC with RH at 64.8%. โ€ข CO2: 800 ppm for consistent growth energy. โ€ข Reservoir: PH 6.16, TDS 791, temp 21ยฐC. โ€ข Soil Stats: TDS 669, temp 22ยฐC. Even the fun facts are worth noting: leaf temps are ranging between 26.6ยฐC and 24.2ยฐC, while the LED bars are holding steady at 38ยฐC, and the ICL-300 at 35.6ยฐC. Aero Fan at 23ยฐC and the filter output at 24.7ยฐC highlight the precision and control in this room, all thanks to the incredible TrolMaster ecosystem. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding and Nutrient Update Our transition from organic minerals to a solo mineral approach has been a game-changer. These girls are thriving! Hereโ€™s the recipe this week: โ€ข System Clean: 0.25 ml/L. โ€ข RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L. โ€ข All-in-One Liquid: 1.75 ml/L. โ€ข K-Boost: 0.5 ml/L. โ€ข Regulator: 0.15 ml/L. This blend is bringing out the best in each plant, delivering unparalleled frost, density, and aroma. The stability of the pH, thanks to minerals, has made life simpler while pushing the plants toward peak performance. ๐ŸŒŸ Reflecting on Progress Itโ€™s a joy to walk into this room and witness the results of months of effort. Each plant is delivering on its promise, and the smells, colors, and trichome production are truly next-level. The journey has been demanding, but the rewards are sweeter than ever.

Well I have 6 little seedlings that sprouted looking happy and healthy.Going to give just plain water once the pots dry up a bit more.Ill add Gaia green 4,4,4 top dressing with a shot of recharge in a few days after these seedlings are stronger.Se7000 set at 30 percent power and is raised to the ceiling.I prefer to do this over lowering the lights and intensity and not being able to walk around and work in the โ›บ๏ธ.Day 4 added a 1 inch layer of farm farm ocean forest and Iโ€™ll water plain ph tap water when the pots are dry.Also placed some pins and anchors to tie down branches for when the girls are ready for training :)

Dia 5 y las plantas ya muestran su primer par de hojas verdaderas que practicamente triplica en tamaรฑo a los cotiledones y con un buen color verde. Pasarรฉ a abonar conforme a la table de crecimiento y ph a 6 (algo menos realmente pero se estabilizarรก a 6 en las prรณximas horas). El ph mas y menos que uso es de boom nutrients que alguien me lo preguntรณ, tengo el de ghe pero como ya tengo las dosis pilladas con boom nutrients uso este, en teorรญa de ghe deberรญa ser mรกs estable pero tampoco es algo con lo que haya tenido problemas dia 10 - La planta sigue con su desarrollo, la forma de las hojas es un poco extraรฑa pero a veces pasa en el primer o segundo par, espero que se corrija sรณlo y no sea una mutaciรณn extraรฑa que vaya a mayores. He reducido un poco el riego para evitar el encharcam,iento del coco y que las raices lo tengan facil para crecer.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Nach der vierten Blรผtewoche entwickelt sich die Aficianado Pflanze sensationell! Sie ist in diesem Run definitiv die Beautyqueen. Die Struktur, die Buddichte, Interniodenabstรคnde alles perfekt! ? Es scheint auch als wรผrde sie eine Top Blรผtenperformance hinlegen. Die Trichome sprieรŸen und dass Icing zieht sich wunderbar รผber die Sugarleafes. Langsam entwickelt sich ein sรผรŸliches etwas fruchtiges Aroma. Das Problem mit dem Lichtstress hat sich nun relativiert und die Pflanze hat sich wunderbar erholt. In dieser Woche hat sie einen Bio Tabs PK Booster Komposttee erhalten. Jetzt kann sie nochmal richtig Gas geben. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut fรผr die Endblรผte, aber die Pflanze hat sich angepasst: โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐ŸŒž Temp: 27 ๐ŸŒš Temp: 18ยฐC bis 19ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ RH: 49% VPD: 1,42 kPa ๐Ÿœ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’กppfd: 830 mpm โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” Viele GrรผรŸe ๐Ÿ‘‹

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de vida de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lรญo, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de mรกs por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. Tambiรฉn se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y tambiรฉn superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo ya fue cambiado a 12/12. Hasta aquรญ todo, Buenos humos ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ

I've been waiting for at least some trichomes to turn amber. I prefer to harvest when there are at least a few amber. I took the PL2 3 days before the PL1. Flushed them for a week only

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

๐Ÿ‘‘ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno B Week 11 | The Queen Keeps Getting More Beautiful ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And this girl... Well... She just keeps getting more beautiful. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG Pheno B has reached that point in the run where I can walk into the room, look at her for a few seconds, and immediately think: "Yep... she's doing exactly what she wants to do." ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's growing beautifully. She's maintaining that gorgeous green. She's continuing to build her flowers. She's getting increasingly covered in resin. And that personality we've been watching throughout the entire adventure? Still there. She's still a Queen. Just a very busy one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ So this week, once again... the spotlight belongs to her. Because she deserves 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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 11 โ€“ STILL BECOMING HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There wasn't a huge amount of physical intervention this week. And honestly... that's perfectly fine. The plants have already done the hard work of building their structures. The branches are established. The flowering sites are developed. The canopy is doing its job. And now we're reaching the stage where I really enjoy stepping back and simply watching. Godfather OG Pheno B is doing exactly that. She's growing. She's developing. She's filling her structure. And she's becoming more and more recognizable as her own phenotype. That's one of my favourite things about this whole 8ร—8 Adventure. At the beginning, we're looking at plants with potential. As the weeks pass, that potential starts becoming personality. And now? I look at Pheno B and think: "Okay... I know you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ She's the beautiful, hungry, composed Queen who quietly keeps asking for more while 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”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE QUEEN IS STILL SHINING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plants that demand attention because something is wrong. And then there are plants that demand attention because something is going very right. Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely in the second category. She's simply beautiful. Her structure. Her colour. Her flowers. Her resin. The way she occupies her space. Everything is starting to come together. And what I particularly like is that she doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to make herself noticed. She has her own presence. You walk past her... and your eyes stop. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ There's something about her. She's becoming one of those plants where you already know what you're looking at before you even check the label. That's when a phenotype really starts becoming memorable. 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 KEEP GETTING BETTER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... the flowers. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž This is where the excitement continues. The flowering structures are becoming increasingly developed, and the plant is starting to look more and more like the finished vision we had in mind when this journey began. The flowers have substance now. The pistils are weaving through the developing structures. And the resin continues to become one of the most obvious features of the plant. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching those tiny changes accumulate. One week doesn't necessarily look dramatically different from the previous one. But then you look back at an older photograph... and suddenly: Whoa. She's changed. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's why documenting these plants matters. We're not just taking pretty pictures. We're creating a timeline. A visual record of the plant becoming herself. And Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely becoming something 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ƒ THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Her colour continues to be one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. That healthy green remains such a strong part of her character. And when you compare her with her sister, you can still see the family resemblance. Same genetics. Different phenotype. Similar foundations. Different expression. That's the beauty of having both Godfather OG girls in the same room. You can see the similarities... but you can also see the differences. Pheno A has her own Queen energy. Pheno B has her own. And while both are demanding, both hungry and both beautiful... they don't express themselves in exactly the same way. That's what makes phenotype hunting so interesting. You're not just growing a strain. You're discovering individuals. 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ฝ๏ธ YES... SHE'S STILL HUNGRY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... before anybody asks... ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still hungry. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฝ๏ธ That hasn't changed. Godfather OG Pheno B continues to be one of those girls that makes me pay attention to what she's consuming and how she's responding. But again... the important part is what she's doing with those resources. She's growing. She's maintaining her colour. She's developing flowers. She's building resin. She's continuing forward. So that appetite is simply another part of her personality. Some girls politely ask for dinner. This Queen checks whether the kitchen is still open. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฝ๏ธ And apparently... she's not interested in hearing that we're closing anytime soon. 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 MORE PHOTONS FOR THE QUEEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This week also continues with our upgraded lighting environment. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. And after initially seeing that the available intensity was higher than our target, we've reduced the output to approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug That gives us around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the intensity naturally changing depending on plant height and position. And I really like what this gives us. More lighting capacity. More flexibility. More control. Without needing to run everything at maximum. We're not interested in simply producing the biggest number possible. We're interested in creating an environment where the plants can make good use of the photons available to them. And Pheno B certainly seems happy to catch them. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 THE QUEEN IS CATCHING PHOTONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I've said this throughout the 8ร—8 reports, but I think it becomes more interesting every week. When we look at a beautiful flowering plant, we're looking at the visible result of thousands of invisible processes. The lights come on. Photons enter the canopy. Leaves intercept them. Photosynthetic machinery captures that energy. And that energy becomes part of the enormous chain of processes happening inside the plant. Growth. Maintenance. Development. Flower formation. Everything we're looking at ultimately connects back to that energy capture. And Godfather OG Pheno B has built herself a beautiful structure for doing exactly that. She's got healthy foliage. She's got multiple levels. She's got flowers throughout the plant. She's got a three-dimensional canopy. She's essentially created her own little photon-catching architecture. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ And now we're watching 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’ก NOT JUST LIGHT FROM ABOVE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The additional lighting philosophy remains important too. The main Future of Grow Black Series fixtures provide the primary illumination. Then we have Lumiflora helping us bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Because this girl isn't a flat surface. She's a living structure. Leaves sit at different heights. Branches occupy different levels. Flowers point in different directions. And photons interact with all of that. Some are intercepted immediately. Some travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some pass through gaps in the canopy. That's what makes a mature plant so interesting from a lighting perspective. You're not simply illuminating a surface. You're illuminating a three-dimensional organism. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ And this Queen has created plenty of three-dimensional space to work with. 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 SAME ROOM โ€“ HER OWN 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”€ This is where the 8ร—8 Adventure keeps reminding me why I love this experiment. The environment is shared. We're not creating a completely different world for every phenotype. They all live together. They receive the same general room conditions. The same lighting strategy. The same irrigation philosophy. The same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at the differences. That's genetics. That's phenotype expression. That's the plant interpreting the environment through its own biological instructions. Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us her version. And I really like her version. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ 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 NO NEED TO FORCE THE 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”€ At this stage, I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. She's already doing the work. The structure is there. The leaves are working. The flowers are developing. The resin is building. The environment is stable. So sometimes the best thing I can do is simply step back. Observe. Measure. Adjust where necessary. And let her grow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ There's a temptation in every grow to think: "Maybe I should do something." Sometimes... you don't need to. Sometimes the plant is already telling you: "Relax. I've got this." And Godfather OG Pheno B certainly looks like she's got 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”€ โš—๏ธ FEEDING โ€“ THE MENU HAS GROWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Just like the rest of the room, we've made a small adjustment to the flowering nutrition this week. Terra Bloom has moved from: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.2 ml/L โ†’ 2.3 ml/L The rest remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required The slight increase has brought the solution EC up a little.

Earlier in the run, there was plenty to do. Training. Structure. Canopy management. Positioning. Adjustments. Now? The plants are doing the talking. And Godfather OG Pheno B is saying: "Just keep everything working." ๐Ÿ˜‚ So that's what we're doing. Stable environment. Stable irrigation. Appropriate nutrition. Good airflow. Controlled lighting. Observation. And patience. The boring stuff... which is often the most important stuff. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ 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 CAMERA STILL LOVES HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And honestly... I understand why. This girl photographs beautifully. The green foliage. The developing flowers. The resin. The structure. There's always something happening when you put the camera in front of her. Macro photography becomes particularly interesting at this stage. The closer you look, the more detail appears. Trichomes. Pistils. Tiny structures. Little changes in the flower surface. It's almost like looking at an entirely different plant. And that's one of the reasons I enjoy documenting this adventure so much. The plants are already beautiful to the naked eye. Then the camera says: "Wait until you see this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž 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 ANOTHER WEEK OF PHENOTYPE HUNTING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week after week, Pheno B becomes easier to recognize. She's developing her own signature. The structure. The colour. The density. The flowering pattern. The appetite. The way she fills her space. The way she catches the light. The way her flowers are developing. It's all coming together. And that's exactly what I hoped we'd see from this project. Not twelve identical plants. Twelve individual stories. Twelve personalities. Twelve interpretations of a shared environment. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's definitely writing hers in capital letters. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 WHERE DOES SHE GO FROM HERE? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's the fun part. I don't know. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I'm happy not knowing. We're getting closer to the later stages of the flowering journey, but there is still plenty happening. The flowers can continue developing. The resin can continue changing. The overall structure can continue filling out. And the Queen can continue surprising us. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to try to force the ending. I'm going to watch. I'm going to document. And I'm going to let her show us when she's ready. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ 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’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET THE QUEEN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. And Godfather OG Pheno B continues to be exactly what I hoped she'd become. Beautiful. Healthy-looking. Hungry. Demanding. Frosty. And completely herself. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž She keeps growing. She keeps developing. She keeps catching photons. She keeps turning those photons into energy. And she keeps turning that energy into something we can actually see. Flowers. Resin. Growth. Beauty. That's the magic of the process. And once again, I'm reminded that the whole point of this adventure isn't simply to see which plant grows the biggest. It's to watch what happens when different genetics are given a shared foundation. Same room. Same environment. Same general care. Different plants. Different expressions. Different personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's one beautiful Queen. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop.

Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This adventure continues to be one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I've had. Twelve plants. One shared environment. One 8ร—8 jungle. And twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's still writing hers. She's still hungry. She's still beautiful. She's still catching photons. She's still building flowers. And she's still shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's keep giving her the spotlight. Let's let this beautiful Queen shine.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect thatโ€™ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. Itโ€™s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. Itโ€™s a top-notch resin producer that doesnโ€™t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40'sโ„‰, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/7- Well, here we go into Week Ten from seed for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and I have to say she's really beginning to look like she will be a beautiful example of this strain! 6/9- Our weather is beautiful now with daytime high temp's in the 80's F without a lot of rain so I am watering her daily at sundown with approximately 3-5g of well water straight from the garden hose. 6/11- The FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues to sprout new growth daily now, and I have been training her branches throughout the trellis net. I was going to install a second trellis net, but decided to just use the single net and do some HST on her to keep her canopy opened up. 6/13- I gave the GG4 Sherbet FF a good watering today at sundown via the garden hose with straight well water. I am planning on top dressing her in roughly 7-10 days from now with a blend of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with some worm castings in anticipation of the start of flowering in the near future. There's another week chalked up and it won't be long until the real excitment begins when this lady begins to go into flower! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™
