She got into trouble in the dwc, root rot and high pH. As she fed, the ppm went down but the pH rose quickly, and due to being busy trying to complete my grow room, she was neglected for a couple days and started to turn yellow at most of the lower tips and leaves. All those damaged branches was removed and used to make clones , and a slow defloliation and transfer to super soil, she bounced back very nicely. She's in the first week of flower but official, 8 weeks since planted, due to recovery and reveg time of 4 weeks. It's 8-12 weeks for full flower period.

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 10 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno A ๐ŸŒธ The Week We Stop Touching And Start Watching Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ And this week... there isn't a huge intervention to report. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? That's exactly what I wanted. After everything we did during the previous weeks, the girls have reached the point where the best thing we can do is step back and let them work. Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno A is looking absolutely beautiful. She's healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering. And she's showing us the results of all the work we've put into her over the previous weeks. So this week, we're not changing the architecture. We're not performing another major defoliation. We're not moving branches around. We're not trying to force anything. We're watching. And we introduced one new element to the experiment: ๐Ÿ’ก LumiFlora 150W Under-Canopy Lighting. ๐ŸŒฟ PHENO A โ€“ LETTING HER RECOVER AND DEVELOP Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is approximately 145 cm tall, and she's carrying a substantial flowering structure after her long vegetative period and aggressive stretch. If you've followed the previous update, you'll remember that this girl went through quite a transformation. The plants stretched far more than expected. The vertical space became limited. The LEDs were getting too close. We moved the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy with a major defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added additional airflow underneath the canopy. And we adjusted the flowering nutrition. There was a lot happening. But now? It's time to see what all of that work actually accomplished. And looking at Pheno A... I'm very happy. ๐ŸŒธ She's not asking for another big intervention. She's asking for time. So that's what we're giving her. โœ‚๏ธ THE DEFOILATION IS NOW TELLING ITS STORY One of the things I'm watching particularly closely this week is the response to the major defoliation we performed previously. When we did it, the plants looked dramatically different. We removed a substantial amount of foliage because the canopy had become extremely dense. But the objective was never simply to remove leaves. The objective was to make the flowering structure more functional. Now we're beginning to see the result. The plant has opened up. The branches are easier to see. The flowering sites have more space around them. Air can move through the structure more freely. And Pheno A continues developing beautifully. That's the part I love about this stage. The work was done weeks ago. Now we're watching the plant respond to it. There's nothing to rush. There's nothing to force. We simply observe. ๐ŸŒฟ And that's actually a very important part of cultivation. Knowing when to act is important. Knowing when NOT to act can be just as important. ๐Ÿ’ก INTRODUCING THE LUMIFLORA UNDER-CANOPY LIGHT There is one new addition this week. The **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light** is now part of the setup. And with plants this large, the reason for introducing supplemental lighting underneath becomes pretty obvious. The main LEDs are providing the primary light from above. But when a plant reaches this size and develops this much structure, the lower portions of the canopy naturally receive less direct light. That's simply how a dense canopy works. So instead of constantly removing more foliage to chase light penetration, we're taking another approach. We're bringing supplemental light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is a **150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. We're positioning it underneath the canopy to provide additional usable light to areas that naturally receive less from the main fixtures. The idea isn't to replace the overhead lighting. It's to complement it. The main LEDs continue doing the heavy lifting from above. The LumiFlora gives the lower portion of the plant another source of light. And now... we watch. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ I'm particularly interested in seeing how the lower flowering sites respond over the coming weeks. That's the experiment now. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ THE SECOND SCROG IS STILL DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG that we installed last week is also staying exactly where it is. And that's another reason why we're not doing much this week. It's working. The first SCROG helped us organize the plant during the vegetative phase. The second SCROG is now helping support the flowering branches as they continue developing. With Pheno A being such a tall and vigorous plant, that additional support will become increasingly useful as the flowers gain weight. We're not trying to force her into another shape now. The architecture has already been established. We're simply giving that architecture the support it needs to finish. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ AIRFLOW โ€“ KEEPING THE CANOPY MOVING The airflow arrangement we created last week is also staying in place. We have airflow working above and below the canopy, with the additional Zamnesia clip fan underneath helping move air through the lower portion of the plant. That's especially useful now that we've introduced supplemental lighting underneath the canopy. More light underneath means we want the lower canopy to remain well ventilated as well. So we're keeping the air moving through multiple levels of the plant. Again... nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just a stable environment and consistent airflow. And when everything is working? Don't fix what isn't broken. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ NUTRITION โ€“ KEEPING THE GIRL HAPPY The feeding program also remains consistent. We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ PLAGRON Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ PLAGRON Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required The plants are responding beautifully, so there is no reason to make unnecessary changes. They're drinking. They're flowering. They're developing. And they're showing us healthy growth. So we continue. This is another part of the experiment that I really enjoy. Sometimes the best feeding strategy is simply consistency and observation. Don't feed a number. Watch the plant. ๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒธ THIS WEEK IS ABOUT PATIENCE If I had to describe this week's update in one word, it would be: Patience. We've already done the big work. Now we're waiting to see the results. Pheno A has had time to recover from the defoliation. She's settling into the second SCROG. The airflow is established. The LEDs have been raised. The vertical space problem has been solved. The nutrition is stable. And now we've introduced supplemental under-canopy lighting. That's enough variables. We don't need to keep adding more. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So this week we're simply watching her flower. ๐ŸŒฟ FROM BUILDING THE PLANT TO BUILDING THE FLOWERS For so many weeks, the story of Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A was about building the plant. Growing. Training. Stretching. Topping. SCROG. Branch development. Canopy management. Defoliation. But now? The structure is there. The framework is established. The support is in place. The environment is stable. And the story is changing. Now I want to see those flowering sites become the main character. ๐ŸŒธ That's why we're not touching much. We're giving her the opportunity to turn all that structure into flowers. ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ROOM. SAME ENVIRONMENT. HER OWN STORY. One of the most interesting parts of Project Blue Tent is that all four plants are sharing the same ecosystem. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental conditions. Same cultivation philosophy. And yet... each phenotype still tells her own story. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has certainly given us one hell of a chapter. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ She's been vigorous. She's stretched aggressively. She's needed structural management. She's gone through a major defoliation. She even lost one branch during training. And despite all of that... she's still standing beautifully. That's her story. And now we're getting to see what she does with the space we've created for her. ๐ŸŒธ CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 145 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Day temperature: 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 27ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 61% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.01 โšก EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 24ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 24ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L ๐Ÿ’ก LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum ๐Ÿ’™ THE BEST THING WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW Looking at Pheno A this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: Leave her alone. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not literally, of course. We're still monitoring everything. We're still checking the environment. We're still watching the nutrition. We're still observing the flowers. We're still making sure the airflow is doing its job. But we're not trying to constantly manipulate the plant. We've done the structural work. Now we want the plant to show us the result. And that's a very satisfying stage to reach. ๐Ÿ”ญ LOOKING AHEAD Over the next few weeks, I'll be watching several things closely. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development throughout the canopy. ๐Ÿ’ก The response of the lower flowering sites to the LumiFlora. ๐ŸŒฟ How Pheno A continues recovering from the heavy defoliation. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ How the second SCROG supports the developing branches. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ How the airflow performs through the mature canopy. How the plants continue responding to the current feeding program. But for now... no major changes. No unnecessary intervention. Just observation. Because Pheno A is looking happy. And when she's happy... I'm happy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ NOW WE WATCH What a difference a few weeks can make. Not long ago, we were looking at this plant and wondering how we were going to fit her into the tent. The stretch was aggressive. The LEDs were getting too close. The canopy was becoming too dense. We had to move equipment. We had to raise the lights. We had to defoliate. We had to install another SCROG. We had to improve the airflow. And now? We're standing back and watching. That's the beauty of this stage. The work has already been done. The plant has been given the structure. The room has been given the space. The branches have been given support. The canopy has been opened. The environment is stable. And now we've added one more tool to the experiment: The LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light. It's not about throwing more and more equipment at the plants. It's about giving the lower canopy an additional source of light now that the plants have become so large. And then... we wait. Because sometimes the best thing a grower can do is recognize when the plant doesn't need another intervention. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has already done her part. She's built the structure. She's survived the stretch. She's recovered from the defoliation. She's adapted to the new architecture. She's continued flowering. And now... she gets to finish. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™ A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these vigorous girls through their flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, curved scissors and clip fans that continue playing such important roles inside this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that keeps these girls consistently supplied and the ecosystem running smoothly. And a special thank you to **LumiFlora** for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light, which we're now introducing into the experiment to see how supplemental lower-canopy lighting performs during this stage of flowering. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the entire journey. Most importantly... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week wasn't about doing more. It was about seeing what everything we've already done has created. We trained her. We supported her. We opened her up. We gave her room. We improved the airflow. We raised the lights. And now... we watch. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering beautifully. And she's got everything she needs to continue the journey. So this week, we're putting the tools down... taking a step back... and letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. Finish. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ Until next week... More flowers. More observation. Less interference. And hopefully... a whole lot more Pickle Lemon Haze F1 magic. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ The Foxtailing Little Freak Keeps Doing Her Thing ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well... Guess what? ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still doing her thing. And honestly... that's exactly what I want to be able to say. She's evolving. She's developing. She's building. She's continuing to show us her personality. And we're providing. That's pretty much the whole story right now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ I know... I know... We said almost exactly the same thing last week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And probably the week before. But here's the funny thing about this stage of the grow: If we're repeating ourselves because nothing needs fixing... THAT'S A GOOD THING. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Because at this point, when something suddenly gives us a reason to do something... it's usually because something needs attention. And I would much rather be standing in front of this beautiful girl saying: "Yep. Everything looks good." than: "Oh shit... what happened?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So thank God... there's not much to do. We maintain. We observe. We provide. We photograph. We admire. And we let this beautiful little foxtailing freak continue writing her own story. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So this week... the spotlight belongs to Frosted Guava Pheno A once again. Let's make this girl shine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE UNICORN KEEPS MOVING Frosted Guava Pheno A continues doing exactly what she wants. And honestly? I wouldn't want it any other way. She's still developing. Still evolving. Still building. Still becoming more substantial. Still giving us those beautiful, unusual flowering structures that earned her the little unicorn nickname in the first place. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ She's not suddenly changing into another plant. She's simply becoming more of herself. And I really like that. Every week we're seeing another little step in the same direction. More development. More flower. More structure. More density. More of that unmistakable Frosted Guava personality. And I'm standing there thinking: "Yep... there she is." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE STILL DOING THE TALKING At this point, the flowers really are the main characters. The plant has already done most of the major structural work. The framework is there. The branches are there. The flowering sites are there. And now... the flowers are taking over the story. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ They're continuing to develop. They're continuing to stack. They're continuing to gain presence. And some of those structures are becoming increasingly interesting because of the way they're forming. This girl doesn't seem particularly interested in doing things conventionally. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I love that about her. She's a little weird. She's a little wild. She's a little different. She's a beautiful foxtailing freak. And that's part of her charm. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ BEAUTIFUL FOXTailing FREAK Let's talk about it. Because at this point... there's no hiding it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's foxtailing. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ Now, some growers will look at foxtailing and immediately think: "Something is wrong." And sometimes there can certainly be reasons for unusual flower development that deserve attention. But with this girl... this has become part of her expression. It's part of what makes her Frosted Guava Pheno A. She's got these unusual, elongated little flowering structures that keep developing and creating more layers of flower. And visually? I think they're fantastic. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ She's a freak. A beautiful freak. And I'm absolutely okay with that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ MORE FOXTails, MORE CHARACTER The more she develops... the more obvious that characteristic becomes. And honestly? It makes photographing her even more interesting. Because you don't just have one uniform flower structure. You have these little extensions. These unusual shapes. These little towers and layers. And every one seems to have its own personality. It's almost like she's refusing to make the same flower twice. ๐Ÿ˜‚ "One cola?" "No thanks." "Normal structure?" "Absolutely not." "Let's make it weird." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ That's Frosted Guava Pheno A. And I wouldn't change that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ AND SHE'S STILL GROWING The important thing is that she's not simply sitting there looking pretty. She's still developing. She's still moving. She's still evolving. And that's really what we're watching now. Not some dramatic transformation. Not some sudden change. Just continued progress. Week after week. Little by little. Flower by flower. Structure by structure. And honestly... that's enough. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes we get so focused on wanting something dramatic to happen that we forget how beautiful normal progress can be. A healthy plant continuing to develop is already a pretty fucking good result. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ So I'll take it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ THE GROWER'S JOB RIGHT NOW: DON'T SCREW IT UP ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think that's probably the simplest way to describe my role right now. Don't screw it up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The room is running. The lighting is established. The plants are developing. So now? Maintenance. Observation. Support. And responding when something actually needs a response. That's it. And honestly... I'm perfectly happy with that. Because at this stage, I don't want to invent work just so I can say I did something. Sometimes the best grow report is: "Nothing happened." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because nothing happened... and everything stayed good. That's a win. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK GOD WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO Seriously. ๐Ÿ˜‚ At this stage, when something suddenly tells you: "Hey, you need to do something." It's usually not because the plant is having a fantastic day. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So when I walk into the room and see Frosted Guava happily doing her thing... I don't need a project. I don't need another intervention. I don't need to invent some new mission. I just look at her and think: "Good." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Keep doing that. I'll keep doing this. And we'll meet somewhere in the middle. That's the relationship right now. She grows. I provide. She asks. I respond. She shines. I take photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Beautifully simple. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ SAME UNICORN And of course... we continue with the same philosophy that has been at the heart of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same lighting ecosystem. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at this girl. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ She's doing something completely her own. That's the part I never get tired of. The room gives all these plants a shared stage. But genetics decide what happens on that stage. Some plants stretch. Some stay compact. Some build massive flowers. Some build unusual structures. Some move quickly. Some move slowly. Some become incredibly frosty. And this girl? She decided: "Let's make some beautiful fucking foxtails." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ Okay, girl. You win. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING The expanded Future of Grow lighting setup remains part of the room. Those additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us considerably more lighting capability, and we're continuing to use that capability in a controlled way rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava continues to receive those photons just like everyone else. What she does with them... that's her business. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„โ˜€๏ธ Apparently her business is: BUILD FLOWERS. MORE FLOWERS. AND THEN MAKE THEM WEIRD. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ I'm okay with that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ MORE CAPABILITY โ€“ LESS INTERFERENCE That's something I really appreciate about this stage. The room has the capability. The plants have the environment. And now we don't need to constantly interfere. We can simply watch. The lighting is doing its job. The environment is doing its job. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is doing its job. And the genetics are doing their job. That's the beauty of a properly established run. You don't need to touch everything just because you can. Sometimes... you just let the system run. And Frosted Guava is showing us that she's perfectly happy with that arrangement. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ LETTING THE RUN PROGRESS The nutritional programme continues its gradual transition as the room moves further through the flowering cycle. We're not trying to force anything. We're not trying to reinvent the nutrition every week. We're simply allowing the plants to progress through the stage they're already in and providing what they need. For Frosted Guava, that means consistency. Observation. And adjustment only when actually necessary. Because again... if nothing needs changing... that's a beautiful thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ The goal isn't to constantly do something. The goal is to keep the plant happy while she does the growing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same overall approach. And one very different plant expression. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA HAS A LOT TO WORK WITH I really enjoy photographing this girl. Because she's one of those plants where the closer you look... the more you find. From a distance: "Beautiful plant." Closer: "Beautiful flowers." Closer still: "Oh shit..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„ There's the foxtailing. There's the frost. There's the pistils. There's the texture. There's the unusual flower development. There's the little details that make her completely recognizable. And this is exactly why I love documenting these plants every week. You don't just get the final image. You get the evolution. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ SHE'S STILL THE LITTLE UNICORN I think the nickname has officially stuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Little Unicorn. Not because she's little. Not because she's delicate. But because there's something different about the way she expresses herself. She's unusual. She's interesting. She's beautiful. And she's doing things her own way. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ The more we follow her... the more appropriate the name becomes. And honestly? I'm very curious to see what she looks like when she finally decides she's finished. Because she's certainly not done showing us her personality yet. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‡ FOXTails TODAY โ€“ TRIMMING LATER And yes... I'm already thinking ahead. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ Eventually, all of this beautiful foxtailing will become part of the harvest story. And when that time comes, we'll deal with the trimming. Foxtailing can make trimming a little more interesting because of those irregular structures. But that's a future problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Right now? She's still growing. Still developing. Still doing her thing. And I'm not going to start worrying about the scissors while the plant is still writing the flowering chapter. When the time comes... we'll deal with it. And as always, nothing needs to be wasted. The parts that don't end up as beautifully manicured flower can still have their own future uses. But that's harvest talk. And we're not there yet. Right now... we grow. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ FUTURE DOGDOCTOR'S PROBLEM I think that's becoming a theme in this grow. ๐Ÿ˜‚ "Future DogDoctor can deal with that." Harvest? Future DogDoctor. Trimming? Future DogDoctor. Drying? Future DogDoctor. Curing? Definitely Future DogDoctor. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Present DogDoctor? He's busy taking photographs of a beautiful foxtailing unicorn. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ„ Priorities. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ NOTHING TO DO IS SOMETIMES EVERYTHING TO DO I know this sounds contradictory... but it's something I've learned throughout this adventure. Sometimes keeping your hands off the plant is actually an important part of the job. You observe. You inspect. You maintain. You keep things consistent. And if everything is working... you don't manufacture a problem. That's where we're at with Frosted Guava. She's doing well. She's developing. She's flowering. She's showing her character. So I'm happy to simply let her continue. No unnecessary interference. No unnecessary drama. Just: "Keep going, girl." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ SHE'S STILL MOVING And that's the important part. She's not stuck. She's not standing still. She's still evolving. She's still developing. She's still gaining presence. She's still producing those unusual flowering structures. And she's still making me curious. That's what I want. Curiosity. Because I don't know exactly what she'll look like when she's finished. And I don't need to. That's part of the fun. The plant gets to surprise us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this stage, I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development. ๐Ÿฆ„ The progression of her foxtailing structures. โ„๏ธ Continued resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Overall plant maturity. ๐Ÿ’š The beautiful green colour and how it evolves. ๐Ÿ“ธ The weekly photographic progression. ๐Ÿ‘€ And simply how much more this little unicorn wants to show us. That's it. No grand plans. No unnecessary missions. Just observation. And appreciation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Honestly? We'll see. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's the fun part. She might keep building. She might keep foxtailing. She might slow down. She might surprise us again. And whatever happens... we'll document it. That's the whole point. I'm not going to predict the ending. I'm not going to force a timeline. I'm not going to decide her story for her. She's still writing it. And right now... it's a beautiful story. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET THE UNICORN DO HER THING Week 13. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ And honestly... what a beautiful little freak. ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ She's still evolving. Still developing. Still stacking. Still showing us those unusual foxtailing flowers. Still getting more interesting. And we're still doing... not much. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly how I like it. Because when a plant reaches this stage and you don't have a list of problems to solve... that's a fantastic thing. We're simply maintaining. We're watching. We're providing. We're supporting. And we're letting her shine. She doesn't need me to tell her what to do. She already knows. She doesn't need me constantly changing things. She already has her rhythm. She doesn't need me forcing the ending. She's still writing it. So... let her. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Let the little unicorn keep moving. Let the flowers keep developing. Let the foxtails keep doing their weird and wonderful thing. Let the frost keep shining. Let the plant keep surprising us. And when the time eventually comes... we'll deal with the next chapter. But for now? I'm happy. She's happy. The room is happy. And nobody is asking for unnecessary work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That's a pretty fucking good week. So let's give Frosted Guava Pheno A the spotlight she deserves. Let's make her shine. Let's appreciate the beautiful foxtailing freak that she is. Let's enjoy every flower. Every little structure. Every sparkle. Every strange little extension. Every beautiful detail. Because this girl is giving us one hell of a show. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธโœจ๐Ÿ”ฅ Keep doing your thing, little unicorn. I'll keep providing. You keep growing. And we'll see where this beautiful journey takes us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

You're stacking. You're foxtailing. You're shining. And I'm simply here... providing what you ask for, watching what you do, and trying not to get in your way. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when nothing needs to be done... we celebrate that nothing needs to be done. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep enjoying the show. And let's let this beautiful foxtailing unicorn continue writing her own story. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ The scissors can wait. Future DogDoctor can worry about trimming. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ For now... we grow. We observe. We maintain. And we let her shine. Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the unicorn keeps foxtailing, and the grower is happily doing absolutely nothing... because absolutely nothing needs doing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š

Been pretty busy lately but these girls just keep at it. I did go several days with out topping them off this last week, probably only had a gallon left of water in thier buckets when I switched to transition. Only problems is a little bit of light burn and maybe a little bit of pest damage on one of them.

After a while, felt like I had to cut her. From 20/01/26 to 24/04/26 She had been only working with water for the past week, and yet refused to even show a slight green (I mean, a little bit on the bottom) She got fried with some UVA (Spiderfarmer UV30) which gave her a more dark look on the top part. Meanwhile the center, without light and UV has some purple, pink shade that looks incredible. I didn't properly weigh her : But my hand hurt after holding her a while, I was fkn high just from her smell. edited this for the roots, they look absolutely INSANE.

Been neglectful just applying PH water every third day or so. Observing roots stretching across sides and bottom of bottle.

Was soll ich sagen, ich habe den Grow abgebrochen, es schien mir nicht sinnvoll weiter auf Besserung zu warten. Ich starte mit neuen Samen.

Day 42 flowering: What a start to this update with the #3 Mango cream being ready for harvest NOW!!!. She has been maturing very quickly during the last few weeks and I have been concerned that she was somehow going towards a toxicity issue. Her buds began darkening really early in flower and I thought it looked very different to the others. As the last week has passed I have been looking at her trichrones with the microscope as they oustils had all gone majority brown too. They had mostly clouded and a couple of odd amber spheres were visible too. as the week went on I saw more begin to amber so took her out a day ago too have a dark period before trimmed for drying . She is the first I have ever had this quick in decades of growing !. The video shows her colours off well and her maturity to harvest too. @exoticseeds have a winner here. lol she smells amazing too with a really nice icky sticky feel . I will update her progress once trimmed. #1 is the smaller of the 3 remaining ladies now ansneven with the #4 beingna week behind her she is still the smallest in height. Her buds are nice and chunky and just as we hit the budswell period too , so shebshould finish with some nice sized colas. #2 Mango is a beast of a plant and by far the largest. Her main is a beast of a cola already with the side branching really picking up some size now too. A brilliant example of the strain I think. Her main is really tacky to touch and the nice smell it leaves all over my fingers is mouth-watering now. She should yield very well. #4Mango at day 35 looks very like the #3 plant for her bud appearance. slightly different pheno i think. More like a wedding cake strain but still very nice and colourful. She has been using pellets in the soil mix and just waterings but they are not good in my opinion and I have had to add megacrop to keepnher growing well now I waited as long as I dare to see if the pellets helped in flower but even using the second part of the feed has not helped. The megacrop has already begun to colour them back up to a more healthy green so i am hoping I can keep her happy until harvest now. She is pushing out a very nice fruity smell now too. I am looking forward to trying the photoperiod strains I have from exotic now and will be germinating Herz Og and Quick sherbet in a couple of weeks time for the summer run. Top genetics from a great breeder . Thank you Exotic. ###UPDATE###UPDATE###UPDATE### The Mango cream #3 has been in the dark for the past 48hrs and has now been trimmed and is hanging to dry. She will be dried low and slow now for approx 10-14 days at around 15-17ยฐC in a large cardboard box with a steady air exchange. She has a surprising size and weight to her for such a short time from seed and is as finished as any plant i have harvested before . What an amazing little lady she has been to grow She looked a little stunted initially and soon filled the pot she was in. 20L was way too small for these genetics to flourish and at least a 30L would be my advice. Happy days , let's see what she yields dried while we wait for her sisters to join her. Be well Growmies

4th day in flower here, plants have doubled in size since a week or so ago. Once again very nice healthy colour to the girls really impressed so far, not a hint of stress shown from the plants at all, very hungry the soil is becoming dry everyday they just take everything I give them.

Hello GD !!!! This week things went complicated... Both cheese started preflowering and flowering right now, imma put you in the whole context of this .. Im really confused at the moment Both plants showed preflowers, over developed pre flowers ? .... Then hairs appearing, and i started to worry about this.. Temperature was good at 10/5 so put the plants outside, topped the girl and removed a few lower branches Couple of cloudy days and .......more hairs... maybe more like a first stage flower Talked about this with a more experienced grower, he told me that the plants should re vegetate when noticing longer days.. I have been researching and many people coincide with the revegetation, but.... maybe some grower or skilled revegger can help me out ? I mean im feeding the plant with BioGrow ph 6.5, yesterday with Green Explosion and BioGrow to seeif this helps the plant .... My plan was to make a monster plant this year, but things are not going as expected. Got a Jack Herer waiting if i need to germinate a new plant now but would be a mess of Cheese Thank you for your time guys !!!!! EDITED 22/05 : The other cheese which have a slowly develop in comparision, has developed flowers too but are smaller, and seems she is showing ReVegetation Signs !!!! with more leaves in the popcorn buds and new growth, so we are waiting a few days to take a decission. Thank you so much for the advice mates ! EDITED 24/05: The buds are getting frosty .... wtf, temperatures are low, this is a really weird year... Winter come later than usual, and still here..
