This they popped after 2 days of being in the soil. They’re stretching but not too much. I have a fan blowing against the wall in my 2x2 grow tent. I have the phlox on 2x4 grow light on the lowest level 18” above the plant with an avg temp of 75 & RH of 47%.

Topped to 4th node. Started brewing ~5l of neem/kelp/aloe Trying out LST clips for the first time. Added a couple of small LST clips on the 4 largest fan leaves. One of the large lower fan leaves snapped off this morning when I was adjusting the LST clips. It looked like it had already snapped yesterday. Adjusted VPD to lower humidity

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊.

Hello everyone! well friends !, so she took her final forms! from today it switches to flowering mode 12/12 .. in the diary I will add a week of flowering when it starts blooming and not when the light mode has changed .. I don’t like it when they do it .. it gets confused .. 2 weeks is needed for flowering to begin active after switching to 12 hour mode .. and those growers who add weeks of flowering when switching to 12 hour mode, damn you!)))

She's developing very fast and without any type of issues, there's not too much to say on the first days of life. I'm so excited about this indoor run. I'll be training this lady in not too long. Hope to make a big bush with this beautiful lady right here. Stay tuned to see this beautiful strain in action! 💎💚❤️💛👨‍🌾✌️

Aug 24: biggest of the four plants this year, and seems to be doing fine. Don’t take flash pics of photoperiods unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm light to put them into dark mode. Aug 26: have been watering in the morning with warmed water and that seems to help. Small kettle takes a while to boil but 2 L in a 5 gallon pail will warm up pretty cold water left out overnight. Lazy compost tea again today. I’ve held off for a couple weeks on the tea thinking that I didn’t want to over do N, but now’s the time for a little tea tuneup. Aug 27: all four plants look happier the day after another lazy compost tea. The yellow on the new growth has been pretty persistent on the Gelato throughout this grow, but she’s notably greener today. Now down to 14 h daylight, and still using the 730 nm far red light every night at dusk. Aug 28: still growing taller. Aug 30: this plant is get quite big for her intentionally smallish 5 gallon pot which will hopefully encourage her to finish faster.

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 8 | The Demanding Queen Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If last week Godfather OG Pheno A was reaching for the sky, this week she's making something very clear... She's demanding. 👑 Of all the ladies in the room, this phenotype has been one of the harder ones to keep up with. She seems to want more food, more attention, more everything. While the rest of the room follows along quite comfortably, she keeps asking for just a little bit more. But that's also what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Twelve genetics. One environment. One feeding strategy. 24 completely different personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno A definitely has a personality. 🌱 A Plant That Keeps Asking for More At approximately 169 cm, she's still one of the tallest plants in the room. The impressive part isn't simply her height, though. It's how much flower development she's carrying along that structure. She's still stretching, still reaching, and still building new flower sites while gradually transitioning toward heavier production. Keeping up with her hasn't always been easy, but she's rewarding the extra attention with some beautiful development. 🌸 The Flowers Are Starting to Get Interesting This is probably what I'm enjoying most this week. The bud formation is becoming much more obvious, and the flowers are beginning to take on their own shape rather than simply looking like early clusters. There's a lot of fresh white pistil growth, increasingly visible resin production, and a structure that makes me very curious about where she'll end up. And then there's the smell... She's starting to develop an aroma that is becoming increasingly noticeable every time I work around her. I have a feeling this girl may surprise me. It's still too early to make any predictions, but she's certainly giving me reasons to keep watching closely. 🍃 A Lighter Shade of Green One thing that's particularly noticeable this week is the lighter coloration in some of her foliage. She's not wearing the same deep green uniformity as some of the other phenotypes, and there are areas of lighter green across the leaves. Considering how demanding she has been nutritionally, it's something I'm keeping an eye on. At the same time, the plant is continuing to grow, the flowers are developing, and the overall structure remains beautiful. So rather than trying to immediately "fix" something that isn't necessarily broken, I'm watching her response and letting the plant tell me where she wants to go. That's part of the experiment. ✂️ No Defoliation... Yet We're not defoliating Godfather OG Pheno A this week. Her natural structure is still giving the flowers plenty of room, and I don't feel the need to interfere just for the sake of doing something. Eventually, she will probably receive the same treatment as some of the others. But for now... She gets to be herself. Sometimes the best cultivation technique is knowing when to leave the scissors alone. 🍽️ Feeding the Queen As always in the 8×8 Adventure, the room continues to follow a shared feeding strategy. This week's nutrition included: Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Power Buds – 1 ml/L Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L when required The increase in Terra Bloom is part of the room's flowering strategy rather than something specifically adjusted for this phenotype. But Godfather OG Pheno A certainly seems to be one of the ladies asking us to pay attention to what that feeding produces. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room remains remarkably consistent: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Humidity: 60% pH: 6.0 TDS/EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 22°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: 639 ppm Watering: approximately 1.4 L per plant / 24h Light schedule: 12/12 Height: 169 cm And that's exactly what makes her behaviour so interesting. The environment hasn't changed dramatically. She has. 👑 The Queen May Have a Surprise Coming Looking at her this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: There might be something special hiding inside this phenotype. She's demanding. She's hungry. She's tall. She's still developing. And she's beginning to smell very, very interesting. She's certainly not the easiest girl in the room. But sometimes the difficult ones are the ones that teach us the most. And when I look at those flowers developing along her towering structure, I can't help wondering what she's going to look like when she finally decides that stretching is over and it's time to put everything into the flowers. For now, I'm simply enjoying the journey. 💚 Thank You Thank you for joining me for another week of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to remind me why growing multiple phenotypes under the same conditions is so fascinating. We can give them the same room, the same light, the same nutrition and the same care... And they will still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno A may be one of the demanding queens of this room, but she's also becoming one of the most interesting. A huge thank you to everyone following along, supporting the diary, sharing knowledge and enjoying the journey with me. And of course, my gratitude to: 💚 GrowDiaries 👑 Zamnesia for the genetics 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition 💡 Future of Grow LED for the lighting 🌿 TrolMaster for environmental control ✨ Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting I'll see you next week to find out whether our demanding Queen finally starts slowing down... Or whether she has even more to ask from us. 👑🌱 Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 💚

Couple days after the big defoliation at the end of week 2 flowering and all is looking good. Wasn’t sure if I took too much but it seems to be exploding still and I’m still tucking a bit but mostly We are letting them come up a bit above the screen to start forming our canopy. Looks a bit uneven now but all bud sites are exposed within 10 inches of the canopy and everything is being kept clear as possible. At the end of the third week she slowed down stretching and we did one last light defoliation. Well that’s it for this week, all caught up! See you next week! Cheers 💨

I started this week off with Topping and Lst training, only the lsd-25 are getting lst trained. I just tucked some of the leaves on the Lsd plants. The smaller blackberry is showing signs of deficiency, this plant been struggling the whole time. the gorilla cookies was either nute burned or too much fertilizer. So today i just watered all my plants with just plain R/o water

Week 14 - July 30 Last vegetation weeks. On 4 plants: 2 healthy / 2 injured. Royal Moby and GMOxZombieK were seriously contaminated with aphids. To stop the propagation I did many washes with black soap and neem oil but may be I treated at the wrong time: morning, even soon; is too late by a hot sunny summer day. I think the 2 plants are suffering from sunburn… and they still have aphids… I stopped soap treatments and try another recipe which seems working very good against aphids and revitalizing all plants: spraying Garlic + Laurel -I cooked separately during 1h garlic (5 cloves) and Lauren leaves (12) in approximately 1L of water -filtered the preparations and wait 4 days -for 1L of water to spray: 15cl garlic mixture + 5 cl laurel BEWARE: checking Ph… last year I burned plants with garlic + chili mixture: it was catastrophic. Brake Pad Breath and Flash Back are beautiful and healthy. Aphids aren’t interested by this 2 plants. I did preventive treatments Neem oil and soap but not so much. Good reaction to the Garlic+Laurel. Plants are bushy, densely ramified. Deep green color, the female sexual signs are visible. Ready for flowering. Watering with a little bit of nutrients 1.5L/plants each 2 or 3 days Defoliation Now I quit the “garden” for 7 days…traveling to Amsterdam (NL) and Prague (CZ) for holidays. I installed automatic watering systems (Blumat) and sticky traps, locked the veranda, programmed the Ventilation and crossed fingers. I’m not afraid about heat or dry…. More about pests and diseases….and rubbery too cause I have 6 auto flowering quasi ready. I’m writing this in Prague, returning in my country to the west side in 2 days. After smoking lot of joints in Amsterdam (3 days) Amnesia haze Tangerine dream Kush Mints Super Lemon Haze Dynamite cookie Intergalactic toad Super Silver Haze In Prague Weed (THC) is prohibited. But I discovered that you can buy pre roll joints (100% pure hemp-Thc-sativa, hybrid etc…) in strange gifts shops for 6€. It’s really not the best weed but it’s Strong and easygoing.

Seems like last week of nutes and then directly into flushing. The buds are getting fat and trichs are starting to turn milky (like 5%) On 12/05 starting to see a lot of trichs turning milky, can't still see amber, but a good portion of them are still transparent

Ok, all caught up. I haven't done an update in almost 6 weeks. I've been so busy. Lots of picture updates! First of all, there have been flashlights in my back yard, so I am going to have to start bringing them inside for the night soon. It's been on the news that kids are taking pictures and staking out plants already. Not good. The Lost Coast Plant Therapy is still working great for the powdery mildew. The fish fertilizer is slowing the yellowing leaves, but they are still turning yellow. I think i will be ok, I am not too worried. I am about to do my last feeding of the year after writing this. I will be giving them a heavy Gaia Green Power Bloom dose, and some bat guano. They are smelling and looking great, and I cant believe how fast the buds are growing. I'd say 4-5 weeks to go, tops, hopefully sooner.

And then there was one! Here we are on day 84 and there is only this beast left standing. She's only got a few days to go with most of her trichomes a nice cloudy with just a few clear here and there, and a handful of amber throughout the pics I took. Buds are nice and swollen and very dense, with some beauty colours throughout. This plant got to quite the respectable size for an auto, once the front plant was removed she spread out to cover 80% of a 4x4 area. Harvested the front plant on day 82 as she was showing amber/cloudy without a sign of clears. Buds were nice and dark coloured, dense, and smelled so lemon. Really enjoyed harvesting it even with the mask on could get a good sniff and smelled delicious. I can't wait to dry, cure, and try her out!

geeze these are some tall ladies. 2 didnt take well to my LST strategy, and are crazy tall for a closet grow. hopefully they just keep budding and dont get any taller. they look great. doing a proper ph balance to my nute/water feed is all the difference. Adding very little PH up, and Im having zero nute defficiency/issues. leaves are green and flat to the tips, looking gorgeous. Im very excited as my ph issue has plagued me on all my previous grows, causing stress & hermies. everything looks beautiful right now.

Les plantes sont vraiment belles ! La fin approche pour les 2 Mazar, la deuxième commence aussi à se colorer en violet / noir. Je pense que la maturité va arriver une fois les pistils passés du blanc au orange. J'ai vu que les trichomes commençaient à tourner ambré sur les deux plantes ! ça ne va pas tarder ! ;) :)
