Fed and defoliated to start week 7. The plant looks good, with a bit of yellowing, but the buds are on point and look as expected at this stage.

The smell in the tent is amazing right now. This girl just reminds me of being in Amsterdam. That haze smell is unreal! She is fattening up nicely! It won't be long till she will have a little extra space in the tent! She is in autopilot right now.

We’re in the second week of flowering, and the plants are really starting to stretch! 🌿 They’ve gained good height, especially the one without LST, which has grown tall very quickly. It’s been exciting to watch them reach upward as they prepare for the bud development phase. Everything is looking good overall, and I’m happy with the progress so far. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the buds will start forming in the next few weeks! 😁✨

New week starts __________ 🌞26.04 It's a first day of pre-flowering period today. I've changed schedule to 12/12hrs and turned on third 100w lamp. (This is not entirely correct, because I'm using one and a half 200W lamp. There was no room for two of them and I was forced to cut one of them in a half) My babies started to grow dramatically fast after flushing two days ago and i decided to do one more particial defoliation procedure. Now a yong branches they grew has more light and space wich should help them to produce more flowers. Spraiyed all four with 'Sea Weed' and prepared to feel a strong smell after a few days (if You know what I mean 😉). I'll flush them with 'FloraKleen' solution tomorrow to outwash saults, then start to feed them in a 'Pre-flowering' mode. 🌞27.04 Nothing today except 'SeaWeed' spraying. I decided to not flush my plants today, because the soil is still too wet. I'll do this procedure tomorrow in the morning (when the lights will turns on). Girls are growing dramatically fast now, especially 'Hulk Berry' wich was the smallest. It dobled its volume in one night! 🌞28.04 I flushed my plants with 45 litres of 'GHE FloraKleen' solution in 3ml/l retio. It was a success! Drenage EC fall from 1.9 to 0.9 (from 1850ppm to 800). Now I'll wait four or five days before watering to soil dry. Also, I spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' as usual. 'RG'#1 leaves already toching my box wall, but I am afraid to defoliate it once more to pervent male flowers developing because of a big stress on pre-flowering period. 🌞29.04 All four plants are growing faster then ever after "GHE FloraKleen" flushing. Their leaves became 1.5 times wider in one night! Even 'HB' miniature leaves are spredding out in size. I spraiyed them with 'G.H. Protect' today. 🌞30.04 My plants crones are too thyck. They're asking for one more defoliation, literally. I'm still afreid to do this. Maybe I will do this a few days laiter when I'll water them. Till then I'm only bending big leaves under the top of a branches. 'G.H.Protect' spraing and that's all for today. 🌞01.05 Nothing for today. Even no spraying. My grow box is in the 'stealth' mode (hidden in the wardrobe-looking shell) so there will be no photo today. It's too difficult to open it, ecpesially there is no sense to do this just to take a picture. I'll water my plants tomorrow, so there will be an update. 🌞02.05 No watering today, the soil still too wet. I made one more defoliation instead. Almost half of a crones were cutted (big old leaves and some lowest branches). I think it's a good thing, because there were alot of new branches and no light reaching them. Now light goes toll the very bottom of my plants, forcing small yong leaves to grow quicker. ___________ Week ends.

Drunken bitch slap has gotten pretty big. She is growing great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. I had to hst some of the taller colas. They were getting too close to the light. She got a solution change today that is more geared to flowering. Plus I added a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. Everything is looking great. 🤞🏻she takes to the solution change well. I also changed the air stone out. She is ready for another week. Thank you Aeque Genetics, and Hortibloom. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Stressful week moved house but she survived the hour drive

📆 Semana 8: Expansión Constante Con solo dos semanas para el solsticio, la planta entra en una fase clave de desarrollo. 🌿 Aprovechando al máximo las horas de luz y el clima benévolo, su crecimiento se vuelve más acelerado y estructurado, con entrenudos que comienzan a alargarse y nuevas hojas que brotan con fuerza y simetría. La coloración sigue siendo un verde intenso, señal de una nutrición equilibrada y una buena actividad fotosintética. Las raíces, ya adaptadas al nuevo sustrato, alimentan con eficacia cada parte del sistema aéreo. 🔄 Se mantiene el seguimiento preventivo ante posibles plagas o desequilibrios, aunque de momento el entorno se mantiene estable y controlado. Es una etapa ideal para pequeñas intervenciones de guiado o poda suave, maximizando la forma y la distribución de la energía. ✂️✨ ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Comecei a semana realizando o treinamento de baixo estresse e uma desfoliação. Nao fiz poda top, não acho que seja adequado para plantas rápidas. VVamos ver como vai ser o resultado . Nao pretendo mais fazer intervenções no crescimento .

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 🍔 Fatten time.

Everything has been good. Plant is really bushy. Top dress fed. 😎

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 10 ❄️ The Dark Green Sister Is Getting Frostier by the Day Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 And this girl... Wow. She's getting even darker. I honestly don't know how many different ways I can describe the colour anymore. 😂 Deep green. Dark green. Rich green. Almost ridiculously green. And now, alongside that incredible foliage, we're seeing beautiful compact flowers, serious frost, a strong aroma, and another characteristic that her sister is showing too: foxtailing. 🦄❄️ And that's getting interesting. Because when two plants from the same genetic line, growing in the same room, under the same general conditions, both begin showing the same unusual characteristic... well... I'm starting to suspect genetics may have something to do with it. I'm not saying that's definitely the explanation. I'm not going to pretend I can prove it from two plants. But it's certainly interesting. And that's exactly what this experiment is here for. Observe. Document. Compare. Learn. And enjoy the hell out of the process. And this girl? She's giving me plenty to enjoy. 🌱 One Room. Twelve Personalities. For anyone joining the 8×8 Adventure for the first time, welcome! The concept behind this project is something I absolutely love. We're growing twelve different plants in the same room, using the same general environmental strategy, lighting ecosystem, irrigation philosophy and nutritional program. The plants are all being grown under a 12/12-from-seed approach. Same room. Same grower. Same general conditions. And yet... they develop completely differently. That's the beauty of it. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide what they do with it. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is certainly making her own decisions. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate the tent. She's not asking for constant attention. Instead, she's becoming something I really enjoy: compact, dense, dark, frosty and beautifully individual. And now she's showing us that her sister isn't the only one with a little unicorn behaviour. 😂🦄 💚 Even Darker. Even Deeper. Let's start with the thing I can't stop noticing. That colour. She's getting even darker. The lower foliage in particular is incredibly deep green. And I absolutely love it. It's one of those characteristics that has become part of her identity. When I look at her now, I don't have to wonder which Frosted Guava I'm looking at. I know. That's Pheno B. The dark one. 😂💚 And the contrast is fantastic. Those deep green leaves surrounding increasingly frosty flowers make the developing buds stand out beautifully. The plant almost has this layered appearance. Dark foliage. Bright pistils. Green calyxes. And then... frost everywhere. It's a beautiful combination. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Definitely Living Up to Her Name And the frost... Wow. She's becoming seriously frosty. The resin coverage is increasingly obvious across the flowers and sugar leaves, and the photographs really capture how much the plant has progressed. At this stage, the flowers don't just look like developing buds anymore. They look like proper little structures. Compact. Dense. Covered in resin. And surrounded by those beautiful dark leaves. This is exactly the stage where I start getting impatient with my own camera. 😂 Because there is always another detail to photograph. Another flower. Another angle. Another little pocket of resin. Another structure that looks completely different when you get closer. And the closer you get... the more interesting she becomes. 🌸 Compact, Dense & Beautiful Her flowers are developing in a way I really like. They're compact. They're dense. They're well defined. And they're carrying plenty of resin. She's not producing those enormous elongated structures that some of the taller girls in the room are developing. She's doing something different. She's building compact flowers with a lot of visual density. And I think that's one of the things that makes this phenotype so attractive. She's not trying to be her sister. She's not trying to be the tallest plant in the room. She's simply building the way she wants to build. And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. 🦄 And Yes... More Foxtailing Now let's talk about the little unicorn horns. 😂🦄 Because they're still there. And after looking at her sister... I'm becoming increasingly curious about this. Both Frosted Guava sisters are showing foxtailing. Does that prove it's genetic? No. Not by itself. Could genetics be playing a role? Absolutely possible. And that's precisely why I'm interested. Because they're sharing the same room. The same general environment. The same lighting ecosystem. The same nutritional strategy. And they're both showing a similar characteristic. That makes the genetic component an interesting possibility. There can obviously be other factors involved in foxtailing too, so I'm not going to declare a scientific conclusion based on two plants. But for the purposes of this diary? It's absolutely worth documenting. And personally... I like it. 😂💚 It makes the flowers look peculiar. It gives them character. It makes them less predictable. And you already know... I like peculiar. I like unique. I like unicorns. So I'm perfectly happy watching this expression develop. 🌿 Her Own Kind of Beautiful One thing I really enjoy about Pheno B is that she doesn't need to be spectacular in the same way as another plant. She's spectacular as herself. She's around 108 cm. She's compact compared with some of the giants around her. But when you look at the flowers? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the frost? She doesn't feel small. When you look at the density? Definitely not small. And when you smell her... well... she certainly doesn't feel small. 😂 The aroma is becoming much more noticeable now. That's another sign that we're moving deeper into this stage of the journey. The flowers aren't just looking mature. They're starting to announce themselves. 👃 She's Starting to Smell And yes... she's smelling. That's becoming increasingly obvious. It's another one of those moments in a grow where the plant starts engaging another sense. First you see the flowers. Then you photograph them. Then you start noticing the resin. And eventually... you walk into the room and think: "Okay... hello there." 😂 Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming increasingly aromatic. And I'm very curious to see how that develops as she continues toward maturity. Because the visual side is already giving us plenty. Now the nose is joining the conversation. ✂️ No Need to Chase Her With Scissors After the selective cleanup we gave her previously, I'm not looking to keep interfering. She's got what she needs. The canopy has been opened where appropriate. The room is being maintained. The plant is developing. And now... I want her to work. This is one of those stages where I think observation becomes more valuable than intervention. The plant has already shown us her architecture. She's already shown us her flowering style. Now we're watching the flowers mature. So I'm not going to chase every leaf or every little characteristic. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's frosty. She's smelling. She's beautiful. That's enough for me. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting ecosystem remains consistent. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora contributes additional illumination into the lower canopy. And Pheno B is clearly making use of the available light. She's maintaining those beautiful dark leaves while continuing to develop her flowers. Again, I'm not interested in forcing an explanation onto every characteristic we see. The foxtailing is there. The frost is there. The flower density is there. The colour is there. And the plant is telling us her story. Our job is to listen. 💧 Feeding Continues The flowering nutrition remains consistent with the general program being used across the room: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current recorded solution strength remains approximately: EC: ~2.0 mS/cm with: pH: ~6.0 Watering is approximately: 💧 1.2 L per plant / 24h And that's really the story right now. We provide. She responds. We observe. She keeps growing. It's a very nice relationship. 😂💚 🌡️ Week 10 Conditions Current GrowDiaries conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 108 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 72% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.2 L per plant / 24h 👃 Smell: Strong The environment remains consistent with the overall project. And the plant? She's continuing to do exactly what she's been doing best. Being herself. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really make the story easy to understand. Look at the flowers. Look at the density. Look at the resin. Look at those colours. And then look at the foliage surrounding everything. That deep green is incredible. The flowers almost pop out from the darkness of the leaves. And the closer photographs show just how much development is happening. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The compact structure. And, of course... those little foxtailing formations. 😂🦄 It's a really beautiful combination. 🔬 Two Sisters. One Interesting Clue. This is probably the part I'm most curious about now. Her sister is foxtailing. She's foxtailing. They're both Frosted Guavas. They're both in the same room. And they're both showing it. Again... I'm not going to pretend that's enough evidence to scientifically prove anything. But it certainly makes me wonder. Could this be part of the genetic expression? Maybe. Could other factors contribute? Of course. That's why we're documenting it. If both sisters continue showing the same behaviour as they mature, that's going to make the genetic explanation even more interesting to me. And that's exactly why I love this experiment. Sometimes you don't get an answer immediately. Sometimes you get a question. And a good question is still valuable. 💚 The Dark Green Girl If I had to describe Pheno B today in just a few words: Dark. Compact. Dense. Frosty. Aromatic. Peculiar. Beautiful. That's her. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She doesn't demand constant attention. But every time I stop and look at her... there's something else to appreciate. And that's a very good kind of plant to have. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm genuinely curious about where she goes next. She's clearly moving toward a more advanced stage. The flowers are established. The resin is abundant. The colour remains incredible. The aroma is increasing. And the foxtailing continues to give her that peculiar little signature. So now... we wait. We watch. We photograph. We smell. 😂 And we see how she decides to finish. Will the flowers continue becoming denser? Will the resin increase even further? Will the foxtailing become more pronounced? Will her colour remain this incredibly deep? And how will she compare with her sister when both are finally finished? I have no idea. And that's exactly why I'm enjoying this. ✨ Let This Dark Beauty Shine Frosted Guava Pheno B has really settled into her identity now. She's the darker sister. The compact sister. The dense sister. The frosty sister. And apparently... the foxtailing sister too. 😂🦄 She's not trying to become something else. She's simply doing her thing. And that's exactly what I want. We provide the environment. We provide the nutrition. We provide the water. We provide the light. And then... we let her shine. Because she absolutely deserves the spotlight. 💚 Final Thoughts — She's Becoming a Little Unicorn Week 10. And I think Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most visually interesting plants in this room. She's not huge. She's not trying to be. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly dark green. She's beautifully structured. She's getting extremely frosty. She's smelling. And she's developing those little foxtailing structures that make her flowers even more peculiar. And now that her sister is showing the same thing... I'm paying even more attention. Maybe it's genetics. Maybe it's partly genetics. Maybe other factors are involved. I don't know yet. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying: I don't know yet. That's what the experiment is for. We're here to watch. We're here to compare. We're here to document. We're here to learn. And sometimes the plant doesn't give you an answer. Sometimes she gives you another question. And this girl has given me a very interesting one. 😂🦄💚 But whatever the explanation... I like what I'm seeing. I like unique. I like peculiar. I like flowers that don't all look exactly the same. And this girl certainly isn't boring. She's beautiful. She's dark. She's frosty. She's compact. She's aromatic. She's developing quickly. And she's doing it all without asking me for much more than what we're already providing. So let's keep doing exactly that. No unnecessary drama. No unnecessary intervention. Just: provide, observe, document and enjoy. Because Frosted Guava Pheno B is doing a damn good job of the rest. Let's make this dark green beauty shine. ❄️💚🌿🦄 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this crazy 8×8 Adventure and share the differences that appear from plant to plant.

Every question. Every little observation. That's what makes this adventure what it is. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's giving us another beautiful chapter. Deep greens. Compact flowers. Serious frost. A growing aroma. A little foxtailing. And a whole lot of personality. She's very different from her sister. But every bit as beautiful. And maybe... just maybe... we've got another little unicorn hiding in this room. 🦄💚 For now, we're not making conclusions. We're just watching her shine. Let's make her shine! ❄️🌿💚 Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Semana de lavado, regando cada dos días solo con agua de ósmosis inversa. Esta semana continuaron mostrando un cambio de color más acelerado. At 59 days they already showed a high percentage of amber trichomes, more than enough to harvest before 60 days. A simple, uncomplicated grow, the plants are truly rewarding, not so much for the quantity of trichomes as for their growth, yield, and aroma—an aroma that suggests it will be delicious, possibly earthy, sweet, perhaps pine, or who knows, maybe even a hint of citrus, lemon. Something along those lines. What I can say for sure is that it smells terrible; it wouldn't be recommended for grows that want to go unnoticed. After 61 days, harvest and dry inside the closet.

"Mens Dei" What can be made to expand, airy and loose, can also be made to contract, dense and tight. Trichomes do not discriminate, although we like to think of trichomes' primary purpose as being to get us high; they are there to provide photoprotection (sunscreen). Trichomes apply themselves based on area dimensions; the more area = the more trichomes in order to protect. Different from density: Trichomes, the resinous glands on plants, are often produced in response to stress, including high light intensity. This increased production can lead to denser trichome coverage on the plant, stress, stress, stress, stress is the signal. There is a certain beauty in watching the large water-filled buds once swollen to the brim slowly shrink during drying, as the surface areas contract, the trichomes just cluster up to form denser and denser coatings, already dense from high light intensities, UVB exposure, and IPS, and every other stressor I could tweak. Trichomes, the resinous glands on cannabis plants, are often produced in response to various forms of stress. These stresses can be environmental, like excess light(HIL) or UV-B radiation, temperature fluctuations, or drought, or mechanical, such as wind, pruning, or even the weight of the plant's own buds. The plant reacts to these stressors by increasing trichome production as a defensive mechanism to protect itself and its valuable compounds like THC and CBD. In essence, cannabis plants perceive stress as a threat and respond by producing more trichomes as a way to protect themselves and their valuable compounds. Several studies have shown this. Not so much a "master" grower as a master of stress. Psssst. Trichomes fill with "antioxidants," including THC. Ant"ox"idants, The production of antioxidants in plants is intricately linked to their oxidative apparatus. The plant has limited oxidative capacity/apparatus. During daytime photosynthesis, a large percentage of that oxidative capacity is tied up in protecting the plant. During the night, plants alter their metabolic pathways. This leads to a far more focused production of specific antioxidants, like THC. Plants also produce antioxidants during the day to scavenge ROS made from photosynthesis. The differential ROS production by blue and IR light can have significant biological consequences. For example, high levels of ROS induced by blue light can lead to cell damage and death, while lower levels of ROS produced by IR light may be involved in beneficial cellular signaling pathways. Long nights under the IR (very low ROS), the boost in cellular respiration, and the boost in energy production. In a perfect world, I'd give the plant a shock treatment of 60DLI in 4 hours and give her the other 20 hours to perform cellular respiration under IR. The stress of those 4 hours would be rigorous and full of stress abound, 1800-2000ppm CO2 is easy for a couple of hours during daylight, it's maintaining it that's hard, but 4 hours is very doable with nothing but a little extra "carbon sugar" in your medium every other night during the first 4 weeks of flower. In my opinion, you only need to jack CO2 for those first 4 weeks of flower to see maximal output, after that it's all about trichome preservation, everything else comes second. Without the temps to assist with metabolism, CO2 is reduced to normal levels along with temps 4-5th week of flower. Buds are primarily composed of water. Developing flower buds, like other plant tissues, require a significant amount of water for growth and turgor pressure, which helps maintain their structure and firmness. Turgor pressure in plant cells is primarily generated by osmosis, but transpiration plays a crucial role in maintaining it. The optimal internal leaf surface temperature for photosynthesis at 1800-2000ppm CO2 is likely in the upper range of 97°F, meaning ambient would need to sit at 102°F-ish or thereabout for full metabolic utilization. That's putting your transpirational pulling force x5 x6 maybe x7 of what it would be if she were cruising at 68F. "My buds won't fatten, what can I do!!" Crank it. If your purpose was to blow up a balloon as fast as you can, as much as you can, would you use 2x force or x5 Force to do so? Bad analogy, but you get the idea. Kiss. Optimize photosynthesis & VPD by day, cellular respiration by night. TECHNICALLY: "While transpiration and cellular respiration are both ongoing plant processes, they are not neatly separated into day and night. Both processes occur both day and night, though at different rates and with different emphasis. Transpiration, the release of water vapor from plant surfaces, is primarily driven by sunlight and photosynthesis during the day, but it also continues at a lower rate at night. Cellular respiration, which provides energy for the plant, occurs continuously, both day and night. " A leaf can perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis simultaneously. During daylight hours, plant cells utilize both processes: photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen, and cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for the cell's needs. The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are used as reactants in cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) can be used in photosynthesis. The limiting factor is the oxidative capacity; the less a leaf is utilizing photosynthesis, the less oxidative capacity it uses, and the more it can perform cellular respiration. Even if a leaf is not in an optimal photosynthetic position, it can still utilize respiration to its full capacity during daylight hours. Kinda too much info to explain when some asks if they should defoliate or not, yeah add calmag or some shit. BUT Only 10% ATP can be processed through photosynthesis and carbon capture. 90% of ATP is processed when the plant's oxidative capacity becomes available (NIGHTTIME). Cellular respiration relies on the process of oxidation to generate energy. Specifically, the final stage of cellular respiration, called oxidative phosphorylation, utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor to produce a substantial amount of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency. Factors such as oxygen concentration, glucose availability and temperature will all impact the amount of aerobic respiration an organism will perform. See you next grow, *twiddles thumbs*

Thank you for reading I will continue to update once they are drying and ready for cure. I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 91 grams please consider that when they comes to my scale weight i wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in night so I want to avoid mold on them.so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice. After three weeks in jar that smell has incremented a lot be aware if where you are it's not allowed to smoke because once you open that bag or container everybody knows you open one of those buds it is incredibly powerful smoke and it is very very smooth great strain to have. Taste 10 out of 10 Aroma 10 out of 10 High 10 out of 10 . Night. strong THC. Yield 10out of 10. Taste 10 out of 10 Aroma 10 out of 10 High 10 out of 10 . Night. strong THC.
