Missed couple weeks of updating. Apologies. K. Had to move the lady back under my homemade lights. The store bought just kept her trying to bunch up. Needed light through, didn't want to defoliate too much and she resisted opening up. She would actually straighten out the wire reaching for the SB. Sooo, I spread my homemade apart more. I put her back under my direct wire, switchable lights, 5 settings from 2700k-5000k, 6 t8 tubes, 1800 lumens each. Gave her a couple days. She opened right up for me. The SB light high intensity, she was bushy, even after opening up, so at week 3, under homemade, she got some defoliation. Learning more about light. I kept a minimal distance from top, center cola, to reduce it's stretch and allowed the trained limbs to catch up to it. Now @12" from center cola, about 16" from rest of plant and light covers the entire plant. Using 1000w for her babies (clones.) They like it. Using soil. And reading more. Prolly didn't need all the nutes I was giving. Doing well on 1nce weekly fish fertilizer and once weekly Gen Hydro Flora Series mixed for flower. The rest is ph'ed water. Ozarka got expensive. Tried GV spring water. Has near 300 ppm, Ozarka <30. GV pH near and sometimes 10+. Ozarka 8.3 max. GV needs more pH down and it will rise again. I pH let set, then pH again. Pretty sure it's mostly calcium, since it's source is heavy with limestone. Calcium also appears to be a buffer. Ozaka's 8.3 mostly from the calcium, but ph's easily and holds well. Mixing = parts can get a ppm of 160 and pH of 8.7-9. then pH down. Saves a little money and some extra calcium. K done for the week. Bye, y'all.

Just started plagron green sensation along with alga bloom on the pineapple express and BlackBerry autos bu fast buds. They are putting on weight now and are a pleasure to grow.check out fast buds people...

Week 6 went well. The buds are putting out a second wave of pistils and are starting to fatten up. Jilly is starting to smell more and put out more trichs on sugar leaves. She smells very sweet and fruity so far.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 7 | Reaching for the Sky Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I enjoy most about this project is seeing just how differently genetics express themselves when every plant shares exactly the same environment. Every phenotype receives the same light. The same nutrients. The same temperatures and humidity. The same care. And yet... Every single one chooses her own path. Godfather OG Pheno A has clearly decided that her path is upward. At approximately 166 cm tall, she has become one of the tallest ladies in the room, stretching confidently above much of the canopy while maintaining an elegant structure that seems almost effortless. She's becoming difficult to ignore. 🌱 One Garden, Twelve Different Stories For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is an experiment in growing twelve different cultivars using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of giving the plants a traditional vegetative period, every seed was placed under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle from the very beginning. The result is something I absolutely love watching. Every phenotype writes its own story. Some remain compact. Some focus on branching. Others build flowers early. And then there are plants like Godfather OG Pheno A... ...whose first instinct seems to be reaching for the lights before settling down to build flowers. It's a perfect reminder that genetics will always have the final word. 👑 Chasing the Ceiling This week she continued doing exactly what she's been doing since flowering began... Stretching. And she's doing it beautifully. Despite her impressive height, the internodal spacing remains excellent, giving every future flower plenty of room to develop while allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. Rather than becoming lanky or unbalanced, she carries herself with remarkable elegance. Every branch appears purposeful. Every node seems perfectly placed. Watching her grow feels less like managing a plant and more like watching architecture slowly build itself. 🍃 A Picture of Health If I had to describe this phenotype in one word this week... Healthy. The foliage carries a rich, vibrant green colour from top to bottom. The leaves are perfectly formed, reaching confidently toward the light without any signs of stress. The stems remain thick and sturdy, easily supporting the rapid vertical growth. Sometimes the healthiest plants aren't the ones screaming for attention. They're simply the ones that quietly look perfect day after day. Godfather OG Pheno A is quickly becoming one of those plants. 🌸 Flowers Beginning to Take Shape The stretch may still be continuing, but flowering is becoming more obvious with every passing day. Fresh white pistils continue appearing across every branch, and the individual flower sites are beginning to develop into recognizable bud formations. They're still early. Still delicate. Still building their foundations. But the framework is now clearly visible. The coming weeks should see these small clusters begin merging together into longer, fuller colas as the plant gradually shifts more of her energy away from vertical growth and toward flower production. 🌿 Letting Genetics Lead One of the things I've learned over the years is that not every vigorous plant needs constant intervention. Sometimes the smartest decision is simply getting out of the way. Only minimal adjustments continue this week. A little leaf tucking. The occasional branch repositioning. Nothing more. Her natural structure is already doing an outstanding job of distributing light throughout the canopy, and I don't see any reason to fight what her genetics are naturally trying to accomplish. Sometimes nature really does know best. 🍽️ Feeding the Entire Room As with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure, nutrition is shared across the entire reservoir, each phenotype receives the exact same nutrient solution hand feeding or autopot. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required The increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom wasn't made specifically for this plant but for the entire room, as all twelve ladies continue moving deeper into flowering together. Even though every phenotype responds differently, they all share the same table. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Maintaining consistency remains one of the biggest priorities throughout this grow. This week's averages included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Stable conditions allow the genetics to express themselves naturally, and this room continues proving just how important consistency really is. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell an exciting story. The wide shots immediately reveal just how much taller she's becoming compared to many of the surrounding plants. The close-ups showcase beautiful early flower development, vibrant green foliage, and exceptionally clean internodal spacing. One of my favourite images captures her standing proudly above the canopy. It's almost as if she's announcing to the room that she isn't finished stretching just yet. She's becoming one of the true standouts of this project. 🔮 Looking Ahead The biggest question for next week is simple... Will she finally slow down? Or does she still have another growth spurt waiting? Either way, I expect the stretch to gradually begin easing while flower production starts taking priority. Those clusters of fresh white pistils should continue stacking into larger bud sites, and if everything continues progressing as smoothly as it has so far, the first noticeable resin production shouldn't be too far away. She's already among the tallest plants in the room. Now it's time to see if she can become one of the most productive as well. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week reminds me why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. Even when every variable is carefully controlled, each plant still finds her own unique way to express the genetics she's carrying. Watching those differences unfold week after week has been one of the most rewarding experiences of this entire grow, and I'm grateful to everyone sharing the journey with me. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn, and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrients supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the power behind every leaf and every flower. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable around the clock. ✨ Lumiflora for adding under-canopy lighting that helps ensure the lower flower sites receive the light they deserve. And finally... Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, leaves a comment, shares advice, or simply enjoys watching these twelve very different personalities grow together. Your support makes every update even more enjoyable to write. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues her race toward the ceiling and, hopefully, begins transforming all that incredible structure into equally incredible flowers. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Gorilla Auto - From seed to harvest Startling growth, they got very tall quickly. When I thought the vegetative state was about to end, they grew even taller. Beginning its flowering, I chose to research methods to optimize and circumvent its size as the dimensions of my set are not those indicated for a plant that has shown itself to be very fast to develop. After some research: I followed some techniques to essentially “get light evenly across the plant” Following nutrient feeding dosages recomended by manufacturers and get no trouble at all, it will grow undoubtedly to be a majestic plant to be harvested. I got the idea that if you have more light the expected results will undoubtedly be even better than what I got with the 100w One of the characteristics that I noticed that in just 3 weeks of growth we already smell the intense plant. With regard to the buds I picked and in my case undoubtedly the ones that got the most light I can describe that they were superb in appearance and smoking very tasty, the lower though smaller ones came out with a very close quality too. Undoubtedly, this plant is what we expect when we start planting, so much to see the growth and development over the weeks, at the time of its harvest feel that the results obtained are completely above expectations. : 0) Its aroma is very good and balanced, the trip even better! ; 0) Thank you all for your support & my special thanks to RQS for the motivation you gave me!

Here we are finally at the first week, I must say that they are really fast and strong for having been born a few days ago, thanks to the Sweet Seeds team for giving me the opportunity to try this wonderful genetics⭐️

Week 9 november - 15 november 11 november - i did a little defoliation on the first 2 Nodes in branches. I also gave the first bloom nutrients because in the next week it will be flowering and it looks like it was asking for more phosphorus 14 november - One more soft session of defoliation/lollipoping Led power: 240W (80%)

It's week three of Vegi, and all three Lemon Ladies are developing very nicely. They should be ready to flower in about 14 days. 💚💚💚☀️☀️☀️

A lot of rain, crazy weather.

I was out of town this last week so my wife just watered them. She accidentally disabled the timer on the lights so I'm not sure how long they had light or didn't. All seems ok though. Starting their flush soon. I moved the lights up to 30". I think they're getting burned a bit.

Added new 300w LED full spectrum over FOG

Stay tuned for next grow!!

ES: Segunda semana, 26/09/2021 a 03/10/2021, al parecer todo va bien, aun con la duda acerca de como contar las semanas, ya estan soltando un olor ligero lo cual es interesante. No mucho mas que decir, la temperatura se ha regulado bastante, hace mas calor lo cual es bueno. EN: Second week from 26/09/2021 to 03/10/2021 it seems like everything goes accordingly, still with doubts about how to count up the weeks, the plants are starting to give off an scent which is interesting. Not much to say, temperature levels have been sorted out so that's good.

6/8: I had one of these seeds left and decided to see how it would do outdoors. She popped right up and has remained the fastest growing and largest plant in the garden! 7/2: I moved her outdoors after almost a month under 24/0 and sprayed her with Boom Boom spray. 7/4 - 7/9: Been dealing with a horde of ravenous grasshoppers all week, but only a little damage on this girl. I sprayed with pyrethrins, Bt-k, Spinosad, pyrethrins, dusted with diatomaceous earth and sevin dust... She's flowering now, so after a few days of that, I sprayed with microlife maximum blooms.

Flowering Week 2 The bud development on this Strawberry Gorilla is seriously impressive. Flowers are forming all along the branches and are already starting to connect into continuous buds, even at this very early stage of flowering. The amount of productive growth across the entire plant looks extremely promising. I gave her another fairly aggressive defoliation this week to keep the dense structure open and improve light penetration and airflow. She is growing so vigorously that I’ll probably have to do another round of defoliation during the coming week. Other than that, there isn’t much left to do. The structure is established, the stretch is under control, and she looks very healthy. From here on, it’s mostly a waiting game and watching all those flower sites fill out.
