Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/01/2020 - One more week to go ! Trichomes still transparent. 01/02/2020 - Gave her 1,5l RO water

Start of week 4. Interesting how important it’s to do sog with clones or at least same strains. Trying to keep main colas same level all together. 34 dli. Just one purple punch it’s falling behind in height and flowering. Happy to learn this technique.

My first grow has been a great learning experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the reliable BioBizz soil and nutrients to the impressive performance of the Spider Farmer SF 1000, everything worked well together. Each component contributed to a successful harvest, and I’m excited to continue experimenting and improving my setup with new gear and techniques. 💚☀️🤙🏼

Finished on day 87, was fully ready. Buds displayed a rich dark green and purple colours at the end. Didn't need much feeding or nutrients, although if I had stayed ontop of it more I have no doubt I'd have yeilded more. Great lil strain to grow.

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 A thank you for this wonderful strain goes out to Herzog https://instagram.com/herzog030?utm_medium=copy_link and the Exotic Seeds team You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros.

day 55: 2 of the plants are finally turning purple! I always have to remove some leaves for the lights to reach the lower buds, other than that I just feed and love them. :-) day 57: those 2 plants are getting more purple every day now! Unfortunately the camera cannot let u see what I see, but the colors are bright pink and almost pearlescent like. I will try and make more pics in natural light, but it's really tricky to get them out of the tent as they're pretty big now ..:P

Still struggling with humidity. But I have really good airflow and ventilation. Continue to defoliate plants. Stretch is over or at least almost. Due to previous lights one plant is about 3 days behind the other 2. Already smells great/loud. Girlfriend hates it. Not a smoker.

I will start with flushing .. almost ready

Found large numbers of spidermites as well as some thrips. Luckily all were on my marigold plants, a few had wondered on to my ladies but the issue has been contained with minimal harm to the plants

happy day, weed masters! my girls get fat and enjoy the light! this week we are going to add a key element in the fertilization program that it is advisable to use in the second half of flowering as in this phase it develops a continuous growing need for phosphorus and potassium Fosfor Plus is able to provide the right nutrients at the right time for optimal bud development and rapid nutrient transport ---- stay on track to stay up to date best regards

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B ✨ Still Small. Still Delayed. Still Beautiful. And Just A Little Ahead of Her Sister. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And guess what? Guess what? GUESS WHAT? 😂💙 She's still small. 😂 I know. Nobody is shocked. Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still very much... Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Compact. Small. Delayed compared with much of the room. But... beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And here's the interesting part: She's a little bit ahead of her sister. Not by some enormous amount. Not suddenly racing through the room. But enough that I can see it. She's moving. She's developing. She's progressing. And when I look at both Blueberry Muffins together, I can't help but smile. Because despite both of them being compact... despite both of them being smaller plants... despite both of them being delayed compared with many of their neighbours... they are both beautiful. 💙🌸✨ And that's really the story this week. We're not trying to make them bigger. We're not trying to make them faster. We're not trying to make them something they're not. We're simply letting them be Blueberry Muffin. And this girl? She's doing it beautifully. So let's give her the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ──────────────────────── For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different personalities. 😂💚 That's the part I love most. The room is the same. The ecosystem is the same. The environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The feeding is the same. And yet every plant seems to have received the instructions... and then immediately decided to ignore half of them. 😂 Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some become monsters. Some remain little. Some move quickly. Some take their sweet time. Some seem to know exactly where they're going. Others appear to be improvising. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely in the: "Yeah, I'll get there eventually." 😂💙 But she's getting there. And that's what matters. ──────────────────────── 💙 STILL SMALL — AND STILL BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── Let's not pretend she's suddenly become a giant. She hasn't. 😂 She's still small. Still compact. Still one of the more petite girls in this room. But honestly? I wouldn't change that. Because the moment I stop comparing her size to the larger plants... I can really appreciate her. Look at the flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the way she's developing. Look at the details. This is a beautiful little plant. And that's the important part. She's not competing in a height competition. She's not trying to occupy every square centimetre. She's simply making the most of the structure she has. And she's doing it very nicely. ──────────────────────── 🌸 A LITTLE AHEAD OF HER SISTER ──────────────────────── Now here's the little difference this week. She's still delayed. But she's a little bit ahead of Pheno A. And I find that fascinating. Because they're both Blueberry Muffin. They're both compact. They're both small. They're both sharing the same room. They're both receiving the same general environment. And yet... their clocks aren't identical. Pheno B is just nudging forward a little faster. Not dramatically. Just enough for me to notice. And this is exactly the kind of difference I love documenting. Because if we only looked at the genetics name... we might assume these plants should behave the same. But they don't. They're individuals. And even within the same genetic line, they can have their own rhythm. Pheno A has her story. Pheno B has hers. And we're going to document both. That's the beauty of the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ? STILL DELAYED — BUT NOT LEFT BEHIND ──────────────────────── When I say she's delayed, I don't mean she's doing badly. That's important. She's simply further behind compared with many of the other plants in the room. And that's perfectly okay. The room doesn't have a single finish line for every plant. The plants don't all have to arrive at the same time. They're not identical machines running on identical timers. They're living organisms expressing their own genetics. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is telling us: "I'm taking my time." 😂💙 Fine. Take your time. As long as you're moving. And she is. She's developing. She's flowering. She's progressing. She's becoming more beautiful. So there's absolutely no reason to rush her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 TWO COMPACT GIRLS — TWO DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is actually becoming one of my favourite comparisons in the room. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Both compact. Both small. Both delayed. But not identical. One is a little ahead. The other has her own rhythm. And that's exactly why separate phenotype diaries are so valuable. Because if I put them together into one generic report and simply said: "Blueberry Muffin is small and delayed..." we'd lose so much detail. Instead... we can look at each girl individually. We can follow her development. We can see her structure. We can document her timing. We can appreciate her personality. And then, when the adventure is complete, we can look back and compare the two. That's where the real fun is. 💙🌸 Same genetics. Same room. Different personalities. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── The lighting environment remains unchanged. We're keeping the same ecosystem across the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the additional Black Series 600W fixtures remaining part of the upgraded setup. After adding the extra fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug, giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's using those photons in her own way. Not by becoming huge. Not by stretching across the room. Not by trying to dominate the canopy. She's simply developing within her compact structure. Same photons. Same artificial sun. Different interpretation. And that sentence basically describes the entire 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌿✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 SAME FEEDING — SAME OPPORTUNITY ──────────────────────── The feeding program also remains unchanged for the room. We're not making plant-specific changes simply because one girl is slower. The current recipe remains: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution readings are approximately: ⚗️ pH — 6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm Same feeding. Same general irrigation. Same environment. Same room. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B gets the same opportunity as everybody else. Then... she decides what to do with it. And she's doing something pretty damn beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE ROOM IS STABLE — AND WE'RE LEAVING IT THAT WAY ──────────────────────── This is another thing I really want to emphasize this week. The room is stable. The plants are developing. The environment is consistent. And honestly? It seems to be working. So we're not changing things just because we can. We're not chasing numbers. We're not trying to force the slower girls to catch up. We're not reinventing the ecosystem every week. The room is alive. The plants are alive. They're progressing. They're enjoying the conditions. So for now... we keep things stable. Sometimes the best adjustment is no adjustment. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── ✂️ NOT MUCH TO DO — AND THAT'S PERFECT ──────────────────────── There's not much we're doing to this girl now. And honestly? That's exactly how I like it at this stage. The structure is established. The flowering sites are there. She's developing. She's healthy-looking. The room is stable. So why interfere? Why start creating work when there isn't a problem to solve? 😂✂️ We're simply watching. Observing. Photographing. Enjoying. And letting her continue. The grower doesn't need to be constantly touching the plant. Sometimes we just need to stand there and admire the work the plant is doing. And this little girl? She's giving us something worth looking at. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T CARE HOW BIG SHE IS ──────────────────────── This is another thing I love about photographing the smaller plants. From across the room... she's small. Very small. But put a camera close to one of her flowers? Different story. 😂📸💙 Suddenly the scale disappears. You don't see a small plant anymore. You see a flower. You see the structure. You see the pistils. You see the texture. You see the details. And that's one of the reasons these individual reports are so enjoyable. The camera allows us to give these smaller plants the attention they deserve. Because size isn't everything. Sometimes the smallest plant has some of the most interesting details. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B definitely deserves her close-up. ──────────────────────── 🔬 GENETICS ARE WRITING THEIR OWN STORIES ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest lesson of this entire adventure. We can control the room. We can control the environment. We can control the lighting. We can keep nutrition consistent. We can maintain the irrigation strategy. But we cannot tell every phenotype exactly how to behave. They decide. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has decided: "Compact. Slow. Beautiful. And I'll get there when I get there." 😂💙 And honestly? I respect it. Because that's the whole reason we're doing this. We're not trying to make every plant identical. We're trying to discover what they actually are. And this girl is showing us exactly who she is. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTIFUL DESPITE THE DELAY ──────────────────────── This is what I want people looking at these reports to remember. Delayed does not mean ugly. Small does not mean weak. Compact does not mean uninteresting. And slow certainly doesn't mean unsuccessful. Look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's developing. She's expressing herself. She's simply doing it on another timeline. And that's completely fine. Actually... I think that's what makes her more interesting. Because every week she makes us wait a little longer. 😂 And every week she gives us another reason to keep watching. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues under the same stable setup: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same conditions. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues proving that she has her own clock. ──────────────────────── 💚 I'M REALLY GLAD WE KEPT WATCHING HER ──────────────────────── There's something satisfying about these slower plants. Because if you're only looking for speed... you might overlook them. You see another plant racing ahead and think: "That's the exciting one." But then you keep watching. Week after week. And the little one keeps developing. Keeps flowering. Keeps becoming prettier. And eventually you realize: "Wait a minute..." 😂💙 This little girl is actually beautiful. That's what happened with both Blueberry Muffins. They're not the biggest. They're not the fastest. But they're both beautiful. And that's enough. ──────────────────────── 🔭 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly... we wait. 😂💙 I don't know exactly how much longer she has. I don't know exactly when she'll decide she's finished. And I'm not going to pretend I do. She's already shown us that her timing is different from many of the other girls. So we'll let her continue. Maybe she'll accelerate. Maybe she'll continue slowly. Maybe she'll surprise us. That's the fun. We're not here to force the ending. We're here to document it. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One phenotype at a time. ──────────────────────── ✨ FINAL THOUGHTS — GIVE THIS LITTLE GIRL HER SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Week 13. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still... small. 😂💙 Still compact. Still delayed. Still beautiful. And just a little bit ahead of her sister. And honestly? I love that. Both Blueberry Muffins are showing us something very similar... but they're still individuals. They're both small. They're both compact. They're both taking their time. They're both behind much of the room. And yet... they're both absolutely beautiful. That's the part I don't want to lose. Because it's easy to look at the room and focus on the giants. The huge plants. The massive structures. The girls taking over every available centimetre. But sometimes... you need to look down. 😂💙 And there she is. Our little Blueberry Muffin. Doing her thing. Quietly. Beautifully. At her own speed. And she's still here. Still developing. Still shining. Still giving us another chapter. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the compact structure. Let's appreciate the beautiful flowers. Let's appreciate the fact that she's moving forward. And let's appreciate the individuality. Because that's what this whole adventure is about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same feeding. Same grower. Different personalities everywhere. And we're going to expose every single one of them through their own story. 💙🌸✨ Blueberry Muffin Pheno B... you're small. You're delayed. You're taking your sweet time. But you're beautiful. And that's more than enough. Keep doing your thing, little girl. Keep growing. Keep developing. Keep shining. And whenever you're ready... show us what you've got. We're still watching. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent following these twelve very different girls. It all becomes part of the story. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely writing her own. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. And completely in her own way. 💙🌸✨ She's not the biggest. She's not the fastest. She's not the earliest. But she is absolutely one of the most interesting. And now we're going to keep watching both Blueberry Muffins and see where their separate journeys take them. Same room. Same conditions. Same ecosystem. Different personalities. Different stories. And that's exactly why I love this adventure. Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. Your spotlight is yours. 💙🌸✨ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💙

Whats up brothers and sisters. We have the fourth week of flowering, my beauty has completely recovered from problems with pH. The leaves have returned to their color, the white flower hairs, as you can see, are developing wonderfully. The level of smell has increased, but the manifestation of the smell is yet to come. This is the first time I have dealt with the AutoPot watering system. In the set I use the newest AQUA valve 5, combined with a standard 47 liter tank. WOW !! Friends, I didn't expect it to be so easy and fun to use. I highly recommend it and don't forget to put your AirDome in to your pot ;) Have a nice day, You Lovely Girls Growers :D

D64. We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent. I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother. ------------------------------ D66. Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive. I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation. ------------------------------ D68. Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter. Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close. Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones. She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke. I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

It’s more like week 7 of flower I was slack keeping up with updating my grow diary so I’ll try and fill in the missing time. Finish line is just a couple weeks away. Fingers crossed I get at least 1 kelogram

Week 1 of flowering and she’s turning into an extremely bushy plant with a massive number of bud sites. Switched to bloom nutrients and started guiding her into the generative phase. Did a light lollipopping and defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration across the canopy.

look a little weak and i find some fruit flies in the soil and i guess one of reason of they grow stop for couple days. 😘

09/12/2018 Purple tip cutting seems to be taking .#1 is filling out well lots of fresh flowers stacking up nicely.#2,#3,#4 all doing well👍hope they finish up in 4weeks🙏 No feeding this week just molasses for soil microbes, 09/17/2019 Did some defoiliating and green tie 's to spread out lower branches on #1 . she is a beast. Seeing, some differences between #2,#3,#4 .#4 being darker green, #3 is paler green #2 not as pale, #1 lighter green but not pale at all. Given deep soaking today, and I noticed phase 3 flowering is starting!🙏 should start stacking them fat buds for next couple of weeks hope she done at 10 weeks fingers crossed.

Mientras iban pasando los días estás plantitas lindas de a poco se formaban , defoliacion en el 1er y 2do nodo , quedando firmes el 3ro , 4to y 5to nodo ....pronto tendrán una estructura más estable y firme , aún estamos con el Haluro metálico , ya es cosa de tiempo para la renovación ! Siempre agradecido del padre Sol y madre tierra por su bondad y abundancia , te amo ... #evaseeds #lemonkingevaseeds #greenvolesfarmer #growdiaries

Week completed, these girls are developing great, the flowers already smell wonderful and are very resinous... Looking forward to the next few weeks. Stay well! 💪🙏
