Mid week is day 21 of flower. I'll do one more leaf strip in the next few days and then I should be done screwing around in the tent with these ladies. I'm extremely happy with how the canopy filled out. Just a couple of weeks ago I had to cull 3 of my 8 and that left a void. The last leaf strip is done. I also removed the trellis netting. I am unsure if this was a good idea or not. As far as I figure, My canopy did fill the 5'x5' but it doesn't any more. Now that the scrog net is down everything "stood tall". The reason I removed it is so I could make sure that 1. I could strip everything that I wanted/needed to before everything turns woody and fragile. 2. get to my plants to make sure that no Male flowers surfaced. I did consider putting it back in but then I though of harvest time, what if one in the back is ready before the one in the front, that is gonna suck to pull out. So I left the net out. My hypothesis is that as the buds start to gain weight, the weight will get the branches to come down and spread out again. If the weight seems like it may break limbs, at that point I will apply the scrog net as more of a trellis net that will be easily removed. It's weird, two nights ago I was dreaming that I was in a panic looking for plant yoyo's. I was dreaming that my kolas were so huge that they were snapping. LOL Hopefully it wasn't a dream and it was more of a vision. I have still been feeding by my pH range. I still haven't had to use any pH up or down in the last 18 days. I have noticed that flower isn't as forgiving as veg cycle. I do have one strain that is showing leaf tip burn so I have decided drop my EC enough to let my pH rise a bit more quickly. In the flower cycle the plants seem to be more finicky with their uptake. If It's too strong they leaf tip burn within a couple of days so if you need to make changes you can't tip toe like in veg. You need to aggressively get back into range because the plant isn't going to wait for you. It's clock is ticking and it's going with or without you. After my recent leaf strip, my humidity has been lower than ideal so I will probably be putting a humidifier in shortly. I have been using the dimmer to dim my lights to 75% but I would rather have them at 100. I am looking forward to what the next 5 weeks bring so I hope you all stay with to see how this turns out. Grower's Love To You All!

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 7 | Every Plant Has Its Own Pace Welcome back to another week of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸ’šπŸŒ± If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system, nutrient solution and care. The only real variable is genetics, making this a fascinating opportunity to observe how each cultivar expresses itself when everything else remains constant. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, while being documented from germination through to harvest. One of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that no two plants read the same script. Some sprint ahead. Others take their time. Blueberry Muffin has clearly chosen the second option. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues exactly as expected, although she remains one of the slower ladies in the room. The initial stretch is beginning to settle, while clusters of bright white pistils continue appearing across every flowering site. Buds are slowly beginning to define themselves, and although they aren't stacking aggressively yet, there is no doubt she has fully committed her energy to reproduction. At this stage I prefer to let the plants work without unnecessary interruptions. During the first two or three weeks of flowering they're busy redirecting energy from vegetative growth into flower production. Unless a plant truly needs intervention, I find it's often better to simply observe, let nature do its work and avoid creating unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is nothing at all. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Slowly Finding Her Colour Again Last week I mentioned that Blueberry Muffin was asking for a little more nutrition than some of her neighbours. That continues to be the case. She still isn't displaying the rich green colour I'd ultimately like to see, but the good news is that she's slowly responding. By the end of the week the foliage had noticeably improved, confirming that the adjustments are moving in the right direction. One of the challenges of running a room like this is that every plant shares the same reservoir. If this were a single-plant grow, I could tailor the nutrient solution specifically to her needs. But in a room containing twelve different genetics, the feeding programme has to serve the collective rather than the individual. Fortunately, the entire room reached the point where nutrient demand naturally increased this week, so the reservoir was adjusted accordingly. The increase wasn't made specifically for Blueberry Muffin, but it should help her continue recovering alongside the rest of the garden. Sometimes growing isn't about creating the perfect recipe for one plant. It's about finding the best balance for all of them. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Although she remains relatively compact compared to some of the other cultivars, Blueberry Muffin continues developing a very attractive structure. Her branches remain nicely spaced, the internodal distance is consistent, and light continues penetrating well throughout the canopy thanks to the gentle leaf management carried out during the vegetative stage. She's certainly not trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Instead, she's quietly building a neat framework that should support healthy flower development over the coming weeks. Not every champion announces themselves early. Some simply take a little longer to show what they're capable of. ──────────────────────────── 🌑️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing the plants to focus their energy on flower production. 🌑️ Day temperature: 29Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: 60% πŸ₯₯ Root zone temperature: 21Β°C πŸ’¦ Nutrient solution temperature: 20.2Β°C βš—οΈ pH: 5.8 ⚑ EC: 1.95 mS/cm πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: 693 ppm πŸ’‘ Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency remains one of the greatest allies during early flowering, and maintaining a stable environment helps every cultivar express its genetic potential as evenly as possible. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues delivering fresh nutrient solution whenever required, allowing the root zone to remain consistently supplied throughout flowering. This week's reservoir consists 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 increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom reflects the overall nutritional demand of the room as flowering progresses. Blueberry Muffin appears to be benefiting from this adjustment, and I'll continue watching her closely over the coming weeks to see if her foliage continues returning to a deeper green. ──────────────────────────── πŸ“Έ Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a story of patience. The flowers continue to develop steadily, fresh pistils cover every developing bud site, and the plant's elegant structure is becoming increasingly apparent. Perhaps the most interesting detail captured through the lens is the gradual improvement in leaf colour. It's subtle, but visible enough to suggest that she's beginning to settle into her new feeding regime. Photography often reveals progress that our eyes overlook during daily inspections. Looking back at previous weeks reminds me just how much can change in only a few days. ──────────────────────────── πŸ” Looking Ahead Over the next week I'll simply continue monitoring her progress without making unnecessary adjustments. I'm hoping to see the foliage continue regaining a richer green while the flowers begin putting more energy into stacking and bulking up. Blueberry Muffin may be taking her time... ...but that's perfectly fine. Every plant has its own rhythm, and one of the greatest lessons any grower can learn is knowing when to guideβ€”and when to simply let the plant write its own story. ──────────────────────────── πŸ’š Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or have only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every shared experience. Watching these twelve cultivars grow side by side has become an incredible learning opportunity, and it's even more rewarding because it's shared with such an amazing community. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their experiences and continue learning together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for allowing us to explore how this cultivar expresses itself under a unique 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrients and growing media that support these plants through every stage of their journey. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that powers this entire project and helps every phenotype reveal its own unique character. Finally, thank you for being part of this adventure. Every photograph, every observation and every lesson becomes more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues finding her own pace through flower. πŸ’šπŸŒ±

Hello:) Good week again, trichomes look really milky but no amber yet, so weβ€˜ll wait a few more days. The tropical cookies is starting to tip over, it also looks the most ready while the chocolate sherbet looks like it could take the longest:)

Since last week I've been doing the normal watering only when they ask and watering once a week with top crop top veg fertilizer and they've responded very well and both are already in 11L airpots that I transplanted during this week

Aug 28 So close to harvest time. Smell is getting super strong. Not many amber trichomes on the colas closest to the lights yet, telling me that it needs a little more time to cook. Otherwise the trichomes look to be cloudying up.

Everything is looking amazing! All plants are at 4.5wks -5wks old now. Growth is extremely rapid. PPMS/PH of run off is less than what's going in! Still feeding to run off daily; vacuuming out the water everytime!! They're starting to need close to a gal. each :D I have defoliated & continue to pinch lower plant growth to lolly pop each branch -- I find this the best method hands down for autos.. The canopy for the most part is even with the exception of LSD-25, Fruit Punch, & most importantly; the one GSC (fast buds) -- it is a fucking monster as you can see (tallest plant by FAR). Cant wait to see the buds on what appears to be a Sativa dominate GSC pheno -- this plant was under the same 630w's worth of CMH along with the other GSC -- because it keeps growing, and was starting to developing light burn on leaves closer to the CMH's I've since switched spots with a GG#4 & it's now under two 600w LED's; growth continues to stretch on her, but I'm less concerned now that it's under less intense lighting, with a bigger distance from the lights . Other than that, things are looking to be on track for an epic harvest. Once buds start forming, I will drop the temps on the AC gradually to bring out the colors in GSC/LSD/Fruit Punch -- with lights/fans on full blast I can hold temps as low as 70f / 30% RH with the AC at less than 50% - Will be uploading more pics this weekend!

5/25 Some pics may be repeated because I forgot to add a new week. Waited until about 11 to bring the girls outside. They were definately dry on top so I used the rest of the gallon to water them. When going outside I noticed a specific kush plant that's lighter than the rest. I really need to up my water volume on these big plants. They are also getting close to not liking it in the 1 gal. and are ready for a transplant. I cleaned the cage so as soon as the weather permits these girls will be outside in the direct sunlight. Basking in the sun in the cage to finish hardening before going into their final homes which will be 20-30 gal smart pots and a 50 gal grow pot. Well SOME of them are ready for transplant. The link kush seems to take its time but it looks extremely indica-E. Weather looks like it will be amazing this week so I'm obviously stoked. Wouldn't suprise me if these girls were outdoors be the end of the week! EDIT: THE GIRLS STAYED OUT FOR 3.5 HOURS AND LOOKED FANTASTIC. TUEY GOT SOME INTENSE SUN, EXPOSIRE TO THE HIGH RH AND A LITTLE EXPISURE TO THE HIGH WINDS. SPECIAL KUSH SEEMS TO BE THRIVING. I THINK IT WILL DO WELL IN THIS CLIMATE. THAT ONE MK ULTRA IS GROWING AT A RIDICULOUS RATE. I WATERED THE PIBK KUSH THAT WAS LIGHT. I CANT WAIT FOR THE UPCOMING WEATHER. I CAN EXPOSE THE PLANTS TO SOME DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND SEE HOW THEY HANDLE IT. I CAN ALSO GET THE GROW BAGS READY WITH SOIL MOXED AND THEM IN THE RIGHT LOCATION THE DAY BEFORE THE TRWNSPLANT TO FINAL HOME BUT IM GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. IM HAPPY THUS FAR. I also added another half hour of darkness so the plants will be closer to actual daylight times. They're down to 16.5. I'd like to have them lower by now but it is what it is. If some reveg I'll deal with it. 5/26 Plants seem to grow an inch I'm a day. MOST are getting to the point where they want to stretch their feet out. Good thing they'll be going in their final homes as soon as they are hardened off completely. I brought them out around 8 this morning. I have to be back at noon but I'm uncertain if leaving them out that long is a good idea. I'll probably have to check them in an hour or so. They're in the lean-to but THAT gets direct sun until the sun rises high enough in the sky to block it. I put them in here rather than the cage so they can build a tolerance to these harsh winds. Topsoil was dry as fuck. I watered everything. I focused on those that SEEMED the lightest and the largest plants. That MK Ultra plant I fimmed is going to be MASSIVE. I'll update what I do as I do it. Oh I also cleaned the bags twice and they are hanging inside the cage with the direct uv rays hitting any part that's discolored. I MIGHT do one more cleaning but I doubt it. Twice is enough. Technically three times but still. I want things to go right. It looks like I've got some pretty good phenos. EDIT: I PULLED IN (BLOCKING VIEW FROM PART OF THE DRIVEWAY OFF) BECAUSE THAT WAS CLOSER TO MY PLANTS. I GET OUT AND START ADMIRING MY PLANTS AND LOOK ACROSS THE STREET TO SEE TWO STATE TROOPERS AND SOME DETECTIVE ACROSS THE STREET. DAD SAID AN AMBULANCE CAME BUT LEFT WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THEY WERE TALKIMG TO THE COUPLE SEPERATELY. I ATE LUNCH AND THEY WERE STILL THERE. MY HOT WIFE WENT OUT AND THE ALL STARTED FUCKING RUBBER NECKING. MEANWHILE I BROUGHT THE PLANTS INSIDE WITH THE SMALL COVER MY S.U.V PROVIDES LOL. PLANTS WERE LEFT IN DIRECT LIGHT UNTIL IT ROSE HIGH ENOUGH TO CUT IT OFF TO THE LEAN TO. PLANTS SEEM LIGHT. WELL SOME DO. I NEED TO GET A GOOD WATERING SCHEDULE DOWN. JUDGING BY HOW THESE PLANTS TOOK IT TODAY I THINK THEYLL BE OUTSIDE IN FOREVER HOMES WITHIN A WEEK. 5/27 Just poked my head in and checked on them real quick. NO damage whatsoever from all that time in the sun. I left them inside this morning so I can bring them out later in the day to see what happens. I'll add pics later and update what I do. EDIT: BROUGHT THE PLANTS OUT TO THE CAGE AT A LITTLE BEFORE 10AM AND LET THEM BASK IN THE 85° SUN. THE WIND WAS A LITTLE ROUGH ON THEM. IT WAS ACTUALLY THRASHING THEM BUT MY INTUITION SAID 'LEAVE THEM BE' SO I DID. I DID MORE CLEANING AND FIGURED OUT SPACING IN THE CAGE AND I MIXED A 30GAL GROW BAG AND 2 20GAL GROW BAGS WITH A 50/50 MIX OF FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST AND HAPPY FROG. SOUL WAS MIXED WITH A GRADE STAKE AFTER BEING PUT IN A GALLON AT A TIME (TO ENSURE EQUAL PARTS) AND FINALLY MISED BY HAND. TAKES A LOT OF WORK. IM NOT GOING TO BE AS PICKING WITH THE OTHER ONES. I STILL HAVE MY 50 WITH SOIL IN IT. MAINLY DUE TO LAZINESS AND THE PAIN IN THE ASS IT IS TO MOCE THE FUCKER. PLUS IF IM LOW ON SOIL (WHICH IM NOT) THAT WAS GOOD SOIL AND THE PLANT HAD NO PROBLEMS SO I GUESS IF NEEDED IT FOULD BE REUSED. I NORMALLY JUST EMPTY THAT FIRST AND MIX A SHIT TON OF SOIL IN THERE AND SHOVEL IT IN THE BAGS. THIS WAS MUCH HARDER. PLANTS GOT CLOSER TO 2 HOURS OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT BEFORE I MOVED THEM TO THE LEAN TO. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I HRING THEN IN BUT DESPITE THE HARSH SUN AND WIND THEY SEEM FINE. EDIT: BROUGHT THE GIRLS IN AT TWO BECAUSE MY WIFE HAD AN APPOINTMENT. NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. I THINK IF I USE THIS WEEK TO INCREASE DAYLIGHT HOURS AND UP THE WATERING THESE PLANTS WILL BE READY TO GO IN THEIR HOMES. A FEW ARE BIG AND DEF READY TO STRETCH THEIR FEET. 5/28 With the increased sun some these plants are out growing their containers. PLANTS SPENT APPROX AN HOUR AND A HALF IN DIRECT 85° SUN. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THEM FOR THE DAY IN THE CAGE. THEN I NOTICED THE BIG MK ULTRA'S MAIN STEM (IT GOT FIMMED BUT THE MAIN ONE) WAS STARTING TO DROOP A LITTLE. I PICKED THE PIT UP AND DESPITE A LITTLE BIT OF MOUSTURE ON THE TOP THE PIY WAS LIGHT AS A FEATHER. PLUS SETTING ON THE THEM ON THE TAR WASN'T THE BEST IDEA EITHER. I MISED UP SOME WATER AND WATERED THE PLANTS THAT SEEMED LIGHT. I NEED TO PICK UP LIKE ONE MORE BAG OF OCEAN FOREST FOR MY 50 GAL. I'M GOING TO TRY TO FINISH MY OTHER TWO 20'S AND THE TWO 10'S TONIGHT SO I'LL KNOW WHAT IM LACKING. ITS BASICALLY JUST THE 50. IF MY INTUITION SAYS ITS OK ILL TALE THE "COOLER" DAY TOMORROW AND TRANSPLANT THE THREE PLANTS TGAT ARE GETTING TO BIG FOR THERE POT. ÌF NEEDED I MIGHT GET SOME SCREENS TO USE AS A "BLIND" SO THE PLANTS DONT GO STRAIGHT TO FULL SUN ALL DAY. EDIT: TJAT HUGE MK ULTRA REVOVETED NOCELY ONCE WATERED AND PUT IN THE SHADE. IT NEEDS TO BE TRANSPLANTED. I MAY DO ITCTOMORROW. PLANTS HAVE GOT TO BE CLOSE TO HARDENED. I MIXED ALL MY SOIL AND FILLED ALL THE GROW BAGS WITH THE MIX. I FINISHED CLEANING THE CAGE AND REMOVED BAMBOO AND TRELLISING. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A MILD DAY AND PERFECT FOR TRANSPLANT. SOME OF THESE GIRLS ARE GETTING VERY BIG. I RAN OUT OF SOIL AFTER THE LAST 10GAL GROW BAG. ITS NOT FILLED "ALL" THE WAY AND I GAVENT FILLED MY 50 GAL. I'LL GET THE REST OF THE SOIL I NEED FOR THAT 50 TOMORROW.

Day 80, 2nd of December 2020: Wao one week she changed a lot. Buds are nice getting there to be read. The whole plant is great nice genetics but this time it seems that I will miss the red colour and she is a green pheno. Well, let's see it may turns to be red in the last 2 weeks of her flower cycle. However, I am super happy even if she remains green lol. All good the lamp is now on 11 hours and off 13 hours. Every week 15 minutes was taken off and after 4 weeks here we go. Strated 12/12 and now 13/11 wanted try to imitate the nature as the light days are getting shorter. Fertilization has changed no more epsom salt from this week and I will stop giving nitrogen as well from next week. Great job Sweet Seeds. Nice genetics :)

harvested two buds found 10 seeds they are very potent regardless the buds were about 8 inches each with 5 seeds could have been alot worse if i didnt see they turned hermi and worked really hard to find and destroy all male flowers i gave it hell tho.Wish i knew how they stressed to turn cloning is the most stress they got and some topping early on other than that they were well taken care of. will be harvesting by next week for sure tricombs are milky and there is alot of amber ones also they are ready and ripe
