Cuarta semana, ya van tomando buen tamaño en general todas las plantas, estoy aplicando los fertilizantes de Plagron combinados en el mismo riego, pronto comenzaré a subir la ventilación y cuando tengan buen tamaño las paso a flora, veremos que tal crecen!!

DAY 53 Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too. DAY 54 FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!! 1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too. So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one). Day 56 Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development. Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫). Hope these 7 make it till the end. PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

Final weeks.. 💪👌

Today is 12/7/18, day 20 in flower. Today is 12/8.18, day 21 in flower, watered with nutes, picture day. Today is 12/9/18, day 22 in flower, just video of the girls.

On the ropes if I should shitcan this strain. Not impressed with the flowers, resins, or sugar production. Got a bunk pheno maybe 15 cm 15 sb 30 PBPB

Bien pues el domingo 15/05/22 hice defoliacion con 66 dias desde la germi. Hoy lunes por la noche, las pongo ya a 12/12 y que empiecen a florecer. Considero que estan robustas y fuertes para la etapa de flora. Me lie con stories y videos y se me paso hace fotos detelladas para aqui... lo siento, os dejo las stories y fotos de esta mañana Creo que vamos a ver buenas cosas aqui :D Son 10 Tropicanna cookies con 48 dias desde la germinacion y 5 MAC, 4 Bannana wafflez y 1 Apple friter con 67 dias desde la germi. Hoy lunes 16/05/22 por la noche las paso a 12/12 Todo de GBSTRAINS abonado con BOOM NUTRIENTS bajo los paneles LED de GBLIGHTING GB THE GREEN BRAND

Week 3

Things are looking well. Had a haircut yesterday. Durban poison is still stretching so am still scrogging when needed.

📆 Week 9, 7-13 December 2023 7-13 December - Continued with simple adjustment of branches to receive maximum light. There was no defoliation of any leaf this week. Her growth rate has slowed and I believe she is heading in to the bulking stage. I’m satisfied with her size at this point. 8 December - Turned light power from 50% up to 75%, and raised lights from 18” to 21” from top of plant to facilitate the bulking phase of flowering. 📑 Let’s briefly discuss light and umol/m2/s or PPFD. First of all its all about numbers. Is there an agreeable starting point on these figures - the cannabis plant requires between 100-300 PPFD in seedling, 400-700 PPFD in vegetation, and 800-1000 PPFD in flower. It can go up to 1500 PPFD with certain C02 concentrations. I believe this may be generally accepted. Never being much of a numbers person, in ways I avoid it. I’ve grown indoor weed for a long time without a fancy device to tell me what this number was, the plant did that. A quality light and the plant itself will talk to each other in a matter of hours sometimes, days in others, I just need observe. But what I have come to realize the past few years is that these numbers, found in simple instruments (apps for smart phones) give us a very specific area of where she is within all these spectrums. It allows us more precision and insight to what would otherwise be a possible weak or vulnerable spot within our grow. I’ll use mine on a new strain, and to verify any questions. They are easily accessible tools for the common gardner. When we adjust our lights we can measure what will be optimal for our plant. Using my case in point; from: 50% power or 890 PPFD at 18” to: 75% power or 1080 PPFD at 21” **if not raised 3” - that number would have been 1320 PPFD - likely damage the plant - or raised any higher there would be no real benefit in what I’m attempting to achieve - likely waste of power** The 2023 ViperSpectra XS2000 lights (the ones I use) come with a new switch now that go from 25, 50, 75, 100% power and no option in between. So that kind of put a kink in a week or two during my grows I have to work around. Going from 50-75% power is a big shift in light intensity, and these lights are bright. Knowing what that number is and being able to adjust the height precisely to avoid damage is reassuring. I appreciate advancements that make growing a little easier. In most personal grows during flower I’ll go well over 1000 PPFD depending on the strain tolerance, without C02. Here are my experiences why: 1) my set-up allows it, 2) that number only reflects the greatest reading at the highest point on the plant - my reports, 3) when the plant is budding it is absorbing much more photons than when in the leafy only stage - everything is accelerated - this is a totally different discussion, 4) the additional light provided will proportionally increase a higher yield, and finally, 5) some of todays theories on light will change in 5 years, as it has from 10 years before, we still have a lot to research. LEDs are definately cream of the crop, but there is something new to learn I’m sure. Until then I can only tweak what I have in search for a tighter bud, higher in THC. I said I would briefly discuss this subject. Everything is possible with lights. It is science that says the cannabis plant does not have to produce secondary metabolites (trichomes and cannabinoids), in some cases it may not. It produces them based on its environment. She returns to you what you dedicate toward her. Something to keep in mind when deciding what kind of light to use to while trying to grow quality cannabis. 🍽️ Nutrient change on 7 December 🐲 Feeding schedule updated 7 December 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 2.1 at 65 degrees F 💡 Light power at 75% That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

My Ladies definitely love their new Homes 👌🏼 now the BioTab is activated, i guess. Have a better Plan how to water them

Video y fotos del día 47, se nota que los cogollos están engordando. Me preocupa un poco el calor que ronda los 30°C todo el día y la humedad algo alta, el problema es que el deshumidificador me sube mucho la temperatura, veremos como avanza y si puedo controlarlo. De todas formas las plantas están bien aunque algunas hojas bajas de la cheese se van secando y amarilleando, las voy quitando a medida que se debilitan.

10.01 FLUSH pH problems. Week 10-11 1 nutrient water 1 non nutrient water LsT and Scrog Diesel and Mimosa (front 2) auto 2 break up cake no flowering, i guess my flowers fem and If it continues like this for another 1-2 days, I will switch to 12/12 light period.// day 62 start 12/12 light period day 67 break up cake' s 12/12 start flowering

We are going to be slowing down on the watering and the nutrients for CH#1 through the next couple weeks Im seeing signs of stuff I dont like so Im correcting it now before it gets outta hand . Other then that she's growing well pushing for her third node . Won't be long now till she explodes in growth !! We are dialing the nutrients back to 1/4 strength and I wont be watering as often till we back on track . Im alternating between feedings so that I dont overload the medium . I'd like to thank everyone who stops by the diaries ! A special thank you goes out to my followers that stop in daily and weekly for the updates you guys rule ! 😁 -Happy Growing!

Day 83 flowering: Wow was that some ride with this huge lady ?. What seems like a never ending flowering cycle has hit its peak now and I want to pull her before the stress has her create foxtails on top of these odd structured flowers. Shebhas been fun to watch but at the same time frustrating. Seeing how she bounced back from the defol and clear out pre flowering and how she stretch to this size so quickly, had me convinced I would have a cola monster come harvest time. I dont doubt her yield will be worth the time and effort. Her colours are very attractive close up and the berry like structure is unique to any 8nhave grown before. She stinks to high heaven of Lemon and cat pee. lol hope the taste is more refined.lol I will update more pics as we get towards a harvest in about 10 days time. be safe and well growmies.. UPDATE ### So she is finally finished , I don't want to push her beyond her limit. She smells so strong now and should be a nice potential finish.Hopefully about 7-10 days low and slow drying will finishbjer perfectly. Fingers crossed ...

Also have 2 Fast Eddy Cbd they shot up as I had ti raise the light another mistake i wont make again. When I water the plants with 500/750mls of water nutrient mix i add a further 500/750 of fresh home brewed worm tea

06/07/2024 : almost done, waiting a few days more to harvest the other half. With direct lighting, lower buds are getting purple too. I vaped a 5 days dried sample : of course it didn't taste good yet but there was a noticeable fruity touch and a powerfull earthy one. I experienced long lasting light stone effect, quite surprising for me! I'll recheck after 2 weeks curing. 06/10/2024 : no camera today so sorry for poor quality pics. I trimmed dried buds and got 43g with a decent amount of kief (from trim then shaked) that turned in 3.2g hash. All this just with top buds...😀 Then I checked BB and saw that every upper buds turned purple so I decided to harvest a second time and let all the green material on the plant for another time. I removed all fan leaves and biggest sugar ones, debudded and got 176g wet buds (part 2) that went to drier.

Ya va quedando poco 🤤🤤

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 🦄 The Little Unicorn Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 Well... She's doing it again. Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to shine, and this week she's decided to add another little piece of personality to the story. She's foxtailing. 🦄🌿 And you know what? I don't mind it at all. Actually... I kind of like it. Because if there's one thing I've learned from growing different genetics together, it's that not every plant is going to write the same story. Some are uniform. Some are compact. Some build huge, dense flowers. Some stretch. Some do something completely unexpected. And sometimes... you get a little unicorn. 😂🦄💚 That's what I see when I look at this girl. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's carrying those incredibly deep greens. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's moving deeper into maturity. And now she's adding some peculiar little floral growth to the equation. Honestly? Let's make this unicorn shine. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Genetics Keep Talking For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The whole idea behind this project is simple: Put different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment... and then watch what they decide to do. The plants share: 💡 The same lighting strategy 🌡️ The same environmental conditions 💧 The same general irrigation philosophy 🌱 The same nutritional program 🕛 The same 12/12-from-seed approach 🏠 The same growing room 👨‍🌾 The same grower And yet... they are all different. That's the part I love. Because when you remove as many variables as possible, the personalities of the plants become much easier to appreciate. And Frosted Guava Pheno A? She's definitely got personality. 🦄 Hello, Foxtailing So let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or perhaps... the unicorn. 😂 She's showing some foxtailing. And honestly, I'm perfectly happy to see it. Foxtailing isn't automatically something I consider a problem. Some genetics naturally produce those elongated, stacked floral structures. Environmental factors can also contribute in some situations, including excessive light intensity or heat. But looking at this plant, I'm not jumping to the conclusion that light stress is responsible. She's around 120 cm, so she's certainly not some enormous plant sitting directly against the lights. The overall plant looks healthy. The foliage looks strong. The flowers are developing. And she's simply showing a particular expression. So for now? I'm calling it what it is: Frosted Guava being Frosted Guava. And I kind of love it. 🍓 More Little "Fruits" for Me And yes... I'm going to say it. 😂 Those little foxtailing structures? To me, they're just more little "fruits" to enjoy later. I'm not bothered by them at all. If anything, they make the flowers look more interesting. More irregular. More individual. More peculiar. And I like peculiar. I like unique. I like plants that don't look like they came out of a factory. I like unicorns. 🦄🌿 Of course, foxtailing by itself doesn't guarantee more yield. But that's not really why I like it. I like the character it gives the flowers. And this girl has character. 🌿 Deep. Deep. Deep Green. Now... let's talk about that colour. Because wow. The lower leaves in particular are showing some deep, deep, deep, deep, deep green. 😂💚 I know. I'm repeating myself. But look at her. How am I supposed to describe that colour without repeating myself? She's GREEN. Beautifully, seriously, ridiculously green. And I love it. The foliage gives the plant an incredible visual depth, especially alongside the developing flowers. The contrast between the dark leaves and the increasingly frosty flower structures is absolutely beautiful. It's one of those plants where you can look at the photographs and immediately understand why I keep wanting to photograph her. She's got layers. She's got texture. She's got colour. She's got frost. And now... she's got little unicorn horns growing out of her flowers. 😂🦄 ❄️ The Frost Continues And underneath all that green? The frost continues to develop. The flowers are becoming increasingly mature in appearance, and the resin coverage is becoming more apparent as the plant moves further into the flowering cycle. This is where I really start enjoying the combination of photography and growing. At first glance: Beautiful flowering plant. Then you zoom in: Wait a minute... look at that. And then you zoom in again. More resin. More structure. More detail. More little floral formations. And suddenly you realize just how much is happening on a single flower. That's why I keep taking these photographs. The plant changes. The camera catches it. And week after week, we get another little piece of the story. 🌸 She's Moving Fast I also feel like Frosted Guava is moving quite quickly now. We're deep into flowering, and the flowers are clearly progressing toward a more advanced stage. The development is becoming more obvious. The structure is becoming more pronounced. The resin is increasing. And those little foxtailing formations are adding another layer to the flowers. She's not finished. There's still plenty of time left. But she's definitely heading somewhere. And I'm enjoying the journey. This is the part where you stop trying to predict every little thing and simply watch the plant mature. She's telling me where she's going. I'm just following along. 👑 Keeper Material? And here's another funny thought that crossed my mind this week. I'm not cloning these plants. I'm not keeping mother plants. I'm not building a keeper library from this run. That's not the purpose of this particular adventure. But... if I were looking for a keeper? I'd certainly be looking twice at this girl. 😂🦄🌿 Because she's got something. The colour. The structure. The flowers. The frost. And now this peculiar foxtailing expression. It's not necessarily about being the biggest plant. It's not about being the fastest. It's about having something that makes you stop and think: "That's interesting." And Frosted Guava has definitely achieved that. 🌿 No Need to Interfere The other thing I really appreciate about her right now is that she doesn't seem to be asking me for anything dramatic. She had her cleanup previously. She's got her space. She's got her nutrition. She's got her irrigation. She's got her light. And now? I'm letting her work. There's no reason to start changing things simply because she's doing something slightly unusual. If anything, this is exactly the moment when I want to observe rather than interfere. Because if the plant is healthy and developing well... why not let her show us what she's capable of? The foxtailing is part of her current expression. The deep green is part of her expression. The flower structure is part of her expression. And I'm here to document it. 💡 Let the Unicorn Eat Photons The lighting strategy remains consistent across the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main overhead illumination, with Lumiflora contributing additional under-canopy lighting. The upper canopy is receiving strong light, but I'm not seeing enough here to confidently blame the foxtailing on light stress. And that's an important distinction. Just because a plant is foxtailing doesn't mean: "It must be the light." Sometimes it's genetics. Sometimes it's environmental. Sometimes it's a combination. Sometimes... it's simply what that particular plant likes to do. So rather than inventing an explanation, I'm watching. And right now? The unicorn appears happy. 😂🦄 💧 Still Providing, Still Watching The flowering nutrition remains consistent with the room's established program. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment — as required Current solution parameters remain around: ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm Watering remains approximately: 💦 1.3 L per plant / 24h Nothing special. Nothing secret. Nothing specifically designed to create foxtails. We're simply providing what the room requires and allowing each phenotype to respond in its own way. And Frosted Guava? She's responding beautifully. 🌡️ Week 10 Conditions Current recorded conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The room remains stable. The plant remains healthy. And the phenotype continues doing its own thing. Exactly what I want from this experiment. 📸 This Week's Gallery I absolutely love the visual personality of this week's gallery. You've got the wider shots showing the whole plant and its structure. Then the flowers. Then the close-ups. And that's where the story really becomes interesting. The deep green foliage. The developing flowers. The resin. The pistils. The increasingly mature structures. And then... those little foxtails. They give some of the flowers a slightly unusual appearance. And that's exactly what I like. They're not all perfectly symmetrical. They're not all identical. They're peculiar. They're unique. They're different. And I genuinely enjoy that. 🦄 I Like Unicorns Maybe that's the easiest way to explain it. I like unicorns. 😂🦄 I like finding the plant that does something a little different. The plant that makes you stop. The phenotype that gives you a feature you weren't necessarily expecting. That's one of the reasons phenotype hunting is so much fun. You can start with the same genetic name... and still end up with plants that express themselves completely differently. And sometimes one of them gives you something that makes you think: "If I were keeping clones, I'd probably want to keep an eye on you." Frosted Guava Pheno A is starting to feel like one of those plants. ✨ Still Shining But underneath all the talk about foxtailing, there is something much more important: She's beautiful. That's the headline. The foxtailing is simply part of the story. The plant remains lush. The colour is gorgeous. The flowers are developing. The resin continues to build. She's progressing toward maturity. And she's doing all of this without demanding constant attention. That's a pretty good combination in my book. She's not asking me to fix her. She's asking me to provide. So that's what we'll do. Provide. Observe. Photograph. Learn. And enjoy. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm really curious to see how those flowers develop from here. Will the foxtailing continue? Will it become more pronounced? Will some flowers remain more compact while others continue stretching their floral structures? How much more resin will she develop? How much more will those beautiful flowers swell? And what will she look like when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the questions I want to answer. Not by guessing. By watching. Because that's the whole point of this adventure. We create the conditions. The plants provide the answers. And Frosted Guava is currently giving us some very interesting answers indeed. 💚 Final Thoughts — Let the Unicorn Shine Week 10. And Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me smile. She's beautiful. She's green. Actually... very, very green. 😂💚 She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. She's moving deeper into maturity. And yes... she's foxtailing. But I don't mind. Not every unusual characteristic needs to be treated as a problem. Some genetics naturally do it. Environmental factors can sometimes contribute. But I'm not seeing a reason to immediately blame the lighting here. So I'm going to do something much simpler. I'm going to appreciate it. Because it makes her flowers unique. It gives them character. And I like unique. I like peculiar. I like plants that surprise me. I like unicorns. 🦄💚 And even though I'm not keeping clones from this adventure... I have to admit: this girl looks like she would be keeper material. 😂 But that's not the mission. The mission is to watch. To document. To learn. And to let every phenotype tell its own story. Frosted Guava Pheno A is definitely telling hers. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. Increasing frost. A little foxtailing. A lot of personality. And absolutely no shortage of shine. So let's not change what doesn't need changing. Let's keep providing. Let's keep watching. And let's make this beautiful little unicorn shine. 🌿❄️🦄✨ 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful expression from the 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes and learn from each other. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics that gave us this fascinating girl. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. For every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who comes back week after week to see what these plants are becoming. That's what makes documenting this adventure so enjoyable. And Frosted Guava? She's giving us another beautiful chapter. She's not perfect. She's not supposed to be. She's peculiar. She's unique. She's a little bit of a unicorn. And honestly... that's exactly why I like her. 🦄💚 The deep greens. The beautiful flowers. The frost. The foxtailing. The personality. The possibility. Even if I'm not keeping clones... she's definitely making me wonder what a keeper selection from this expression could look like. But for now... we provide. We observe. We photograph. And we let her shine. Let's make her shine! 🌿❄️🦄✨ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 💚🌱
