Harvest week coming up. Plant looks really good and Colas have gotten really heavy

At the beginning of week 11 they both look strong and healthy to me. Though their buds still seem smaller than the one in the 20l pot. But the look great after all :) So colorful and frosty (the smaller one) and so big and yellow (the taller one). Can't wait to harvest them :D At the middle of week 11 they both still look great and I think I saw the tall one's buds grow a bit again... There was something strange going on at the top of the head bud (of the taller one). There'S a close up picture... I guess it's just a kind of mutation and no seed. I was shocked first when I thought it was a seed...

6/14 Week 8 and things are going fairly well on the grow. Some issues with PH that I hope have been worked out by recaling all of them and using two to test PH. Bud building continues Basic nuets only till flush 6/15 Another day in the life... 6/16 Gave a shot of PK she is building so fast she just runs out of Phos and then CA cant do its work 6/17 Continuing PK one more day at least 2ml/gal and 1ml/gal Cal-Mag We have an explanation for the CA issues. This was bag coco not block, it came prewashed and buffered. Apparently the buffering was sub par and has degraded thus drawing CA from the plant and feed. Thus adding 1ml/gal Cal-Mag to compensate Once again DYOPW Do Your Own Prep Work 6/19 She is building buds faster than any plant we have grown to date. Going to split the cal-mag and pk feedings, morning PK evening cal-mag may just be a best practices thing and the time for both is very short Someone asked me a question on PK/cal-Mag and I didnt know they can conflict depending on the formulas involved. So safe is the word She is finishing up to flush stage anyway fewer new hairs so the ambering will increase wont be long now, within a few days.

📅 Week 5 – Day 35 / FLO 7 BOX: 50x50 - lampa 100W 🌞 Temp: 26°C 💦 RH: 62 - 64% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.3 Both showed their sex on the same day, so it’s looking good – they’re developing evenly. I’m watering daily with 600–800 ml (5L pots), EC between 0.8 and 1.1.

week 3 day 16: about 15cm in height day 17: about 16cm in height on day 17 I repoted her into a 12 litre pot I set her deeper in the soil, about 3-4 cm Soil: compo sana classic Qualitäts Blumenerde day 19: I started LST (see video) day 20: further LST I think she is doing well so far during night every second day under the lamp

Estas fotos son finalizando la semana 3 cambié algunas de macetero y comenze el primero riego con fertilizantes.

It seems that the girl is counting her last days, some of the trichomes are already showing an amber color, the buds look simply fantastic, it's a pity that I can't transfer that image with my phone - share that image with you, you need to see it live :) good luck to everyone:)

Ehi ragazzi come va? Scusate ma questa settimana salto la descrizione e i commenti xke sinceramente oltre che a dire che sta esplodendo di fiori, di densità totale e di volume impressionante! Mai visto un autos così prepotente di volume di cime! Ora metto la prossima settimana e vedrete, sono fiori ancora immaturi quindi significa che continuerà a buttare fuori resina per almeno 2 settimane penso! Questo penso sia grazie non solo alla mia abilità data dall esperienza, ma soprattutto dalla genetica spettacolare, e grazie al equipaggiamento dato i da Masr Hydro che davvero è una cosa eccezionale, mantiene una stabilità di temperatura e umidità all interno della grow, che prima mi era impossibile amministrare nel giusto modo, ora è tutto molto più semplice e sbrigativo, e questa stabilità, questo controllo preciso di tutte le variabili in gioco, mi sta donando una crescita rigogliosa davvero molto importante, rispetto ai cicli passati... Quindi i miei complimenti come al solito alla famiglia Masr Hydro, (vi lascio i link sotto del loro sito e dei miei componenti) e alla Fastbuds che mi da fiducia ormai da più di un anno, ma soprattutto a tutti voi che mi sostenete con i vostri like, che mi seguite, che mi fate sentire davvero un vero appassionato, parte di un qualcosa di una grande famiglia che è questo social Grow Diaries, mi fa sentire finalmente realizzato, grazie solo alla mia caperbieta contro delle leggi del mio stato italiano che mi hanno rovinato la vita già troppe volte, solo perché amo coltivare questa splendida pianta 😔 allora buon 420 a tutti e grazie di 💖 di esistere e sostenermi! https://marshydro.eu/ https://marshydro.eu/products/mars-hydro-100x100x180cm-grow-tent/ https://marshydro.eu/products/4-inch-inline-duct-fan-and-carbon-filter-combo-with-thermostat-controller/

The tricombe production on this strain is ridiculous! It looks amazing under my microscope. The heads are mostly milky coloured so this may be finishing sooner than expected. The space in the tent is getting a bit tight so I'll be glad to have more room when this lady has done her thing.

Just about up to normal feeding, some leaves are starting to get green back some not so much! tricombs are start to turn milky in allot of the chocolate marhsmellow and actually a couple of the DD i might me able to harvest both at the same time Smell is absolutely insane i can smell it around the corner from my apartment 😅

2/3 Monday. Adding Bud Ignitor this week. They are starting to stretch . 2/4 4am. 1030am LOTS of LST today, used almost all the clips. Making each of the 4 colas as strong as big as a single plant. 2/5 4am 👍👍👍12pm added new top soil 2/6 They are getting really big now, will probably turn lights DOWN from 99 to 93. That is the wattage where the temperature breakpoint between having the house AC on and not needing it, just a fan blowing air into the room. room temperature 74. 2/7 3am 5am 12pm LST CRAZY today, did all the side branches having all the different kinds help.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Small Plant. Big Personality. And Now… A Little Less Green. There are plants that follow the plan. And then there are plants that write their own story. Frosted Guava Pheno B has been doing the latter from the beginning. She has never been the biggest plant in the room. She hasn't chased height, hasn't tried to dominate the canopy, and hasn't demanded much intervention. Instead, she has quietly developed her own personality. Compact. Elegant. Beautifully structured. And increasingly covered in flowers. Now, entering her fifth week of flowering, she has reached another important moment in her journey. This week, she joined the group receiving a selective flowering defoliation. Not because she was struggling. Not because she was unhealthy. And certainly not because every plant needs to be defoliated. Quite the opposite. She was looking fantastic. But after looking carefully at her structure, her development, and the way light and airflow were moving through the plant, I felt that removing some unnecessary foliage was the right decision. So we went in. We cleaned her up. And now we're going to see what she does with the extra space. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Her Own Story Frosted Guava Pheno B is currently around 108 cm tall. That still makes her one of the more compact plants in the room. But honestly? I don't think she cares. 😂 She has found her own architecture and she's sticking with it. The flowers continue developing beautifully, with increasingly visible frost and those characteristic white pistils reaching outward from the developing buds. Her foliage has remained lush and healthy, with that beautiful deep green colour we've been following since the beginning. The plant looks comfortable. The flowers are developing. And now we're starting to see more definition between the different parts of the plant. This is exactly the kind of moment where stepping back and looking at the whole plant becomes important. Because sometimes the question isn't: "Can I remove this leaf?" The better question is: "Does this leaf still have a useful job to do here?" And that's where this week's defoliation came from. ✂️ Defoliation – What We Actually Did This wasn't a complete strip. It wasn't a race to make the plant look naked. And it wasn't about removing leaves simply because they were large. The approach was selective. I removed most of the fan leaves carrying their own petioles, particularly where they were contributing to unnecessary shading or creating congestion inside the plant. I also cleaned the lower and interior portions of the plant where some flowering sites were positioned so far below the productive canopy that I didn't expect them to develop into meaningful flowers. Those areas are what I would consider the true bottoms on a compact plant like Frosted Guava. And that's an important distinction. Because this plant is small. Her lower sites really are lower. Even with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting helping bring additional photons into the lower canopy, the primary productive zone of the plant remains higher up. So rather than allowing the plant to spend resources maintaining foliage and very low sites that are unlikely to contribute much, I decided to clean those areas selectively. But I didn't remove everything. Some lower flowering sites remain. I want to see what they can actually do. That's part of the experiment. 🌿 What Is Defoliation? For anyone new to growing: Defoliation is the intentional removal of selected leaves from a plant to alter the structure of the canopy. The goal isn't simply to have fewer leaves. The goal is to create a better balance between: light penetration + airflow + canopy structure + productive flowering sites. Leaves are extremely valuable. They're the plant's solar panels. So removing them should never be treated as something automatically beneficial. Every leaf removed is a piece of photosynthetic machinery removed. That's why I don't approach defoliation as: "Flower started. Time to strip the plant." Instead, I look at the plant in front of me. Is the canopy becoming too dense? Are leaves heavily shading developing flowers? Are there congested areas where airflow is poor? Are there leaves that are doing very little because they're buried underneath several layers of foliage? Are there lower sites that realistically have very little opportunity to develop? If the answer is yes, then selective defoliation can make sense. If the answer is no... Leave the plant alone. 🚫 What Defoliation Is NOT This is probably even more important. Defoliation is not: ❌ Removing every fan leaf ❌ Trying to expose every single flower to direct light ❌ A substitute for good plant structure ❌ A guaranteed way to increase yield ❌ Something every plant needs at the same time ❌ An excuse to strip a healthy plant simply because you can The objective isn't to make the plant look clean for the sake of appearance. The objective is to improve the functional canopy. And there's a big difference. A beautiful green leaf isn't a problem simply because it's a beautiful green leaf. If it's healthy, receiving light, contributing to photosynthesis and helping the plant, I have no reason to remove it. But when the canopy becomes crowded and certain leaves are contributing more obstruction than productivity, that's when selective removal becomes interesting. ✂️ How I Approach It My approach is simple: I observe first. I don't start with a predetermined number of leaves that must disappear. I start by looking at the structure. Then I work from the outside toward the interior and from the top toward the lower portions, looking for unnecessary congestion. Leaves that are heavily shading productive flowering sites can be candidates. Leaves buried underneath several other leaves can be candidates. Leaves occupying congested interior areas can be candidates. And lower growth that is so far beneath the productive canopy that it has little realistic opportunity to develop can also be considered. But I always keep the plant's overall health in mind. The goal is balance, not maximum removal. That's why Pheno B still has plenty of green. She's not naked. She's simply better organized. 💡 The Under-Canopy Question This is particularly interesting with Frosted Guava Pheno B because we're running Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Someone might reasonably ask: "If you have light underneath, why remove the lower growth?" That's a very fair question. And the answer is that under-canopy lighting doesn't magically make every lower flower equal to a top flower. On a compact plant like this, the very lowest parts are still extremely low relative to the main productive canopy. The under-canopy lighting is helping reinforce the lower and interior areas, but I still want to observe where the plant naturally allocates its energy. That's why I deliberately left some lower flowering sites behind. I don't want to assume. I want to watch. Will those remaining lower sites develop? Will the extra light make a noticeable difference? Will the upper flowers continue dominating? That's exactly the kind of question this project allows us to explore. And the harvest will eventually give us the answer. ☀️ More Light Where It Matters The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary light from above, with approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. Frosted Guava may be compact, but she certainly isn't short on photons. She's been sitting underneath that light throughout flowering, converting those photons into leaves, flowers, structure and now increasingly visible resin. And with the selective defoliation, we're changing how some of those photons move through her architecture. We're not creating more photons. We're simply trying to make better use of the ones already available. That's the idea. Don't waste energy chasing light. Build a canopy where the available light can actually do its job. ❄️ And The Frost Is Getting Serious The name Frosted Guava continues becoming more appropriate every week. The flowers are developing beautifully, and the resin production is becoming increasingly visible. Those white pistils are still everywhere, creating an incredible contrast against the deep green foliage. And underneath all those hairs, the flowers are beginning to gain more structure and density. This is the stage where I love looking at the same plant from week to week. Because the change isn't always dramatic overnight. But compare the plant to where she was a few weeks ago... And suddenly you realize: She's building. She's filling out. She's gaining flower volume. She's becoming increasingly defined. She's becoming Frosted Guava. 🌿 Small Plant. Big Character. I've said this about her before, but this week makes it even more obvious. Frosted Guava Pheno B doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She's already found something more interesting. Character. Her sister Pheno A has followed a different path. And that's one of the beautiful things about running phenotypes together. Same genetics. Same room. Same light. Same nutrition. Same philosophy. Different personalities. Pheno B has chosen to remain compact and elegant. And now, as flowering progresses, she's showing us exactly what that compact structure can become. 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering We're continuing with hand watering throughout the room. Current feeding remains centered around the Plagron flowering program: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters are around: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.2 L per 24 hours Hand watering has also given me another opportunity to observe this plant closely. Every time I water her, I get another chance to look at the flowers, inspect the leaves, check the structure and notice those tiny changes that are easy to miss when everything is automated. It takes more work. But it also brings you closer to the plants. And sometimes that's where the best observations happen. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: approximately 72% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm With the canopy becoming increasingly dense, airflow and humidity management become even more important. That's another reason selective defoliation can be useful at this stage. Not because leaves are inherently bad. But because a dense flowering canopy can create small pockets where air movement becomes less effective. Opening selected areas gives the room a little more breathing space. And that's particularly valuable as the flowers continue developing. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now comes the interesting part. We've changed the architecture. We've removed some unnecessary foliage. We've cleaned the lower sections. We've opened some of the interior. And now... we wait and observe. I want to see how quickly she responds. I want to see how the flowers develop with the improved canopy structure. I want to see what happens to those lower sites we deliberately left behind. And most importantly, I want to see how Frosted Guava Pheno B continues writing her own story. Because she's already made one thing very clear: She doesn't need to follow anybody else's timetable. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Frosted Guava Pheno B has been one of those plants that quietly earns your attention. She didn't arrive in the room demanding the spotlight. She didn't become the tallest. She didn't become the biggest. She simply kept growing. And week after week, she became more beautiful. Now she's entered another chapter. A little less foliage. A little more breathing room. A little more light moving through the canopy. And plenty of flowers left behind to show us what she's capable of. The important thing about this week's defoliation isn't how many leaves we removed. It's why we removed them. Because good cultivation isn't about following a recipe blindly. It's about looking at the plant in front of you and making decisions based on what she's actually telling you. And Frosted Guava Pheno B was telling me: "I'm ready." So we listened. Now let's see what she does. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for helping illuminate the lower canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control and of course to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week, every phenotype tells us something different. And that's exactly why I love this project. Until next week... Let her shine. She has earned her spotlight. ✨🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Bewässerung: 500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Fünften Woche pH-Wert: 6 EC-Wert: 1.8 mS/cm Temperatur: 30ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :), aber zur Sicherheit haben wir wieder ein paar Raubmilben an die Pflanzen gehenkt. PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s DLI: 38 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention. Ab Tag 8 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Mineralischen NPK Dünger (NPK 7-3-5) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Wurde Getoppt und mit LST Trainiert -Tag 28 Heute haben wir sie Stark entlaubt und LST angewendet, in den nächsten Tagen wird sie weiter Trainiert. Bis sie in die Vorblüte wechselt. -Tag 30 Sie wurde Heute in einen der Großen Töpfe umgepflanzt und wird sich nun ein paar Tage erholen. Sie hat heute auch wieder eine Portion Wasser mit Dünger bekommen, Sie macht sie ganz gut :) -Tag 31 auch sie wurde heute trainiert und entlaubt 😗

Lots of growth this week. Grew 6 inches this week. Turned over to 12/12 light cycle and began flowering on Friday.

Looks like this will be her final week! She won't last long. Maybe 10.5 weeks of flowering in all. Smelling nice. And finally starting to get that beautiful lavender/chocolate color of her father (although, a little too late).

3x3 TENT HARVEST UPDATE - all four girls started from clone were harvested after trichome check of mostly cloudy with 15-20% amber (after only 42 days from switch). Harvested on 12/3 and jarred after 8 and 10 day dry times. Roughly four ounces of some really sticky and stinky buds. So, while girls were not big producers, the quality is primo! Glad I took cuttings of the G-41, Frosty Gelato, and Black Cherry Gas. These are the first additions to new mother tent. 2x2 Tent (8 clones and 1 Afgooey Auto) - During the week clones began showing signs of revegging. Should be ready to transplant by weeks end. Afgooey is just now starting to pre flower, which is completely opposite of her two sisters, which only vegged 3 weeks before going into flower. Gave her a good defoliation, since she is squatty, bushy and generally growing more like a true indica. Transferred clones and Auto to the 3x3 tent at weeks end. 2x4 Tent (French Macaron WK5F) - Dealing with huge Ph swing in an organic soil grow. Ph reading below 5. Began ph'ing at 7.0 - 7.5 to slowly adjust her back to normal. Transferred the two Afgooey Autos into 3x3 tent at weeks end. 3x3 Tent (3 Afgooey Autos WK3F & 8 clone varieties) - Transferred all three Afgooey Autos under Mars-Hydro FC-E3000 set at roughly 75% or roughly 500-600 PPFDs. Transplanted 8 clones from dixie cups to 1 gallon pots with PPFDs roughly 300-400. Ph'd and watered autos and clones.

Day 43 - 12/12 flip day. Screen already getting unruly so going for the flip. That much green in there, I'll have difficulty working out what to do with it soon so its time for Autumn to hit!!! I know people have all different methods and this and that but just going straight into the 12/12 with the bloom feeds (Samuari has quite a bit of N in it still during bloom phase so should be less of a nute shock). Also trying some mineral water in there....@£1.10 for 5L (50L tank), hopefully less chlorine in there until I get some Ecothrive Neuteralise in there to keep the bennies safe! :) Changed over to the Sylvania Dual Spec HPS so hopefully the blue in there keeps the stretch somewhat limited (again, have saw people use MH for the 1st week or 2 to keep the plants down) but these girls are stumpy...no real vegging height to them and hopefully the screen adds to that. Per seeds description, max height should be 90-100cm so hopefully all stays like that. Now just to keep on top of the tucking and canopy management. Still betwixt and between if I'll lollipop/defoliate as the bottom leaves are a good source of feed (3 weeks still to consider) as I have to add humidity to the tent...it would sit round 35-40 in general under lights so not overly worried about mold environment plus have another fan I can get under the canopy for further air movement. Will add photos later, enjoy the time lapse of last week and happy growing all.
