While the others have finished, for Cheese this will be the last week and he's already in flush, I'll give Bubblegum another week. What can I say? I'm so proud of these two!

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 7 | Finally Joining the Flower Party Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. Every plant receives the same care, allowing genetics to become the true variable. It has been incredible watching each cultivar—and even different phenotypes of the same strain—express their own unique personality. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED. After taking her time compared to the rest of the room, this week she finally decided it was time to move forward. Sometimes patience is rewarded. And this week, she certainly rewarded it. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development This is the week I'm officially considering her first week of flowering. Although we're already seven weeks from seed, this phenotype followed her own schedule from the very beginning. While the rest of the room has been well into flower for some time, she spent longer building her structure before making the transition. The exciting part is just how quickly she has responded once flowering began. Fresh white pistils are now appearing everywhere, the tops are becoming much more defined, and every day she seems a little more committed to producing flowers. She may have arrived late... ...but she's certainly not wasting any time now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 From Slow Starter to Fast Mover One of the biggest changes this week is her overall appearance. The lighter colour from previous weeks has completely disappeared, and she now carries a rich, healthy green from top to bottom. The foliage looks vibrant, balanced and full of energy, with no signs of nutritional deficiencies. Seeing that transformation is incredibly satisfying. It confirms that sometimes all a plant really needs is time. For several weeks she was easily one of the slowest plants in the room, but once she decided to flower, her pace changed dramatically. It's almost as though she's trying to catch up with her sisters. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Pheno B continues showing a very different personality compared to her sister. Both plants are actually quite similar in height, but that's where the similarities begin to fade. While Pheno A developed a more open structure, Pheno B has become much bushier and denser, producing a compact canopy with very tight internodal spacing. The Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has created a beautiful, even framework, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure despite her naturally dense growth habit. She's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She's becoming one of the fullest. It will be fascinating to see how this compact structure influences bud development over the coming weeks. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for this important transition into flowering. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Keeping these conditions stable allows each phenotype to express its own genetic potential without unnecessary environmental stress. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding As flowering begins, her feeding programme has now moved forward alongside the rest of the room. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The richer green foliage and healthy new growth suggest she's very comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and I'll continue monitoring her closely as flower production accelerates. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs capture a plant that finally seems confident about the direction she's taking. The close-up shots show clusters of bright white pistils emerging from every growing tip, while the wider photographs reveal just how compact and symmetrical her structure has become. One thing that immediately stands out is the colour. Compared to previous weeks, the foliage is noticeably healthier, richer and more vibrant. She may have been quiet for the first part of this adventure... ...but she's beginning to steal a little attention now. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead Now that flowering has officially begun, I'm excited to see how this phenotype develops over the next few weeks. Will she remain compact and produce dense, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with a stronger flowering stretch before settling into bud production? That's one of the reasons I love documenting different phenotypes. Even sisters can tell completely different stories. Whatever happens next, she'll decide the pace—and I'll simply continue giving her everything she needs to become the best version of herself. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that growing isn't just about harvesting beautiful flowers. It's about observing, learning and appreciating the incredible diversity that exists within genetics. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document every lesson and share their experiences with such an amazing community. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Blueberry Muffin genetics. Watching two sister phenotypes develop into such different plants has been one of the highlights of this project. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow and helps these plants express their full potential. And thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire 8×8 Adventure from seed to harvest. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following along. Your support makes documenting this journey even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers everywhere. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues writing her own unique story. 💚🌱

Ladies are gaining masses of flowers and I had to use a string to get the tops up. They are really heavy 🍃🍃🍃. Halving the nutrients again. They smell amazing and stick like hell .... 🍃🍃🍃

Wieder eine Woche ist rum und den Pflanzen geht es gut. Ich wundere mich nur dass GG#4 erst jetzt nach Tag 63 in die Blütephase übergeht. Sie ist wirklich sehr buschig und groß, während Runtz F1 nur halb so groß ist aber schon sehr weit vorangeschritten. Einen so starken Unterschied hätte ich nicht erwartet.

È sempre un piacere collaborare con SweetSeeds 🐘💚! La Black Muffin cresce velocemente e produce dei bei raccolti! Il profumo che emanano le sue cime è abbastanza agliato tipo skunk... Scopriremo poi il sapore👍🏻

At this point I’m not doing anything to the plant besides making sure it gets nutrients

Super easy trim✂️ The buds are super dense & sticky🤩 For the smell it’s cherry & blackcurrant with a gassy touch the Cherry Cola Diesel ⛽️🍒

The plant took off this week. I am relatively new so was working through getting my PH measuring/balancing down. Now that I have established a better method the plant responded well. Put in a scrog to help even the canopy for the future. The other plant I have running is a bubblegum autoflower that is a few weeks older (right). Personally I really loved the look of the gold leaf at this point, it had a very nice spiral look to it almost like an xmas wreath.

Lots of issues at the moment, issues with not knowing if I have a deficiency or if the plant is progressing along. Yellowing leaves - should I let them falls off? should i remove them to prevent their getting infected and infecting others?. Outside temp is around 30-32 degrees making my ice pack on the pot side solution insufficient to keeping the temperature stable. Lots of tucking and the canopy is reaching 1m2 and the roots are so massive they fill the bucket completely (15L). They smell fresh and It feels alive, the smell the energy coming off the microbes, beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizza, like smelling a flowing river teeming with life. I didnt train the stems properly (i wanted more horizontality).. Which is causing the issues I have now. But in the old tent (which was 2x2 feet 60cmx60cm) they would touched the wall and created other issues, I hadnt decided yet where i wanted to put it next (120x240cm or 60x120cm). Im learning alot about electrical conductivity (ec) and also about how my plant responds to concentration of fertilizers and helpers as suggested by the manufacturers recipe. I have branches in the front that are not growing to the ideal height, im just tucking and tucking the others hoping they catch up. also the light ppfd is up to 1000. and the distance is about 250cm. Im hoping to get at least 350grams of dry bud, and if im lucky maybe even 500!. I plan to do the same exact grow again, with the same breed (not a clone unfortunately). Hopefully I can increase the yield as well as any factors i deem needing improvement (less electricity, optimal percentage of fertilizer, less fluctuation in vpd). in short: lots to learn! but not enough buffer!

Todo bie, viendo y conociendo por primera vez como los cogollos engordan y maduran, estamos nerviosos pero muy pacientes y tranquilos, solo nos preocupa cortar en el punto exacto, eso es lo que nos tiene con nervios, esperamos cosecha en el timepo justo para poder disfrutar de estas dulces y olorosas flores en su maximo punto.

Day 38 I see her and another plant have ligjt strees so I make more ligh distance so is 60cm I think should be OK let see Day 40 still bud no rippen I'm going to flush her with 10 litre ph water I think nutrient lock out let see

She is growing, nothing special.

Bit fluffy but nice yield

Nine weeks have passed, as you can see from the photos; despite various nutrient-related issues, the flowers are producing plenty of resin. This week, too, they absorbed a liter and a half of nutrient solution. Stay tuned.

Germinated for 24 hours in a glass of water, 48 hours in a paper towel and then I planted them into biodegradable seedling pots. Northern Lights looking a bit ahead of the Dosidos seeds but that was expected I’ve grown Northern Lights before and they sprout real quick. One of the Dosidos’ first true leaves is looking a bit wonky but we’ll see how it goes I suppose.
