Its finally harvest day.

Servus Moin! Die Pineapple Slush XL macht sich ganz gut. Sie bildet super viele Blüten aus.

Cut down at day 60. Now drying for approximately 10-14 days in the same room with temps at 68 degrees and 60% humidity.

Day 62 Another defoliation

Room is almost there Flood table coating was completed this week. Took forever to cure in the colder weather, but it is looking great now. Normally I wouldnt use this stuff because it is $200 per gallon, but since Im in the industry, these expired sample cans didnt cost me a cent and provides a much more durable, reflective, cleanable and puncture resistant alternative to plastic. Im very happy with the table overall, it cost me very little to build I installed the fan and carbon filter, moves about 750 cf per minute. Its a bit loud, but its huge, so what are ya gonna do? My dutch bucket pails are slowly being collected from my local coffee shop. I need 4 - 8 more. Ive got all the hardware to set up the watering system, so I will work on that in the coming week

It's slow too slow 😅

The bud sites are just covered in tricomes, I had my magnifying glass out to check the colour and most are milky but not as much as I thought by going by the pistol coloring, as they are mostly brown. There is a more of a spicy dank smell to her now and the fan leaves have mostly died or are close to dying. Hopefully I can start the flush process soon but will not do this till I'm happy with the tricome colouring.

Day 36/Flower Day 8 - Starting to get them girle bits showing now. Stretch is still unreal but the smaller nodes that have crept up to the top are thickening their branches so that’s a good sign they'll hold something and if not, have a spare elasticated SCROG net for support, which will DEFINATELY be needed by the looks of things!!! The main branches are sitting near as thick as 1 of the stems of my last grow so these girls are definitely sturdy and strong growers! If only they didn't push for the roof!!! Apart from the one SCP (#2) that is staying squat in the back corner...sub nodes getting up there but the "tops" staying low and bushy!!! When I start to see a few more flower sets/bud buttons proper actually forming, I'll start inching up the lights to 13/11 over the week...still tempted to start it now but thinking best to wait til the bloom nutes get upped drastically (which is next week - will be upping them by about 50-60% volume). Feared a bit right now that the extra light may fuel some stretch rather than fuel the flowers...but then again, having the plants acclimatise to 13/11 by the time the buttons are forming may not be bad...but then again, that 13/11 may slow down their formation!!! Choices and Choices!!! Was expecting the flower initiator would have knocked some time of the pre-flowers showing (can't think now if nodes were asymmetrical before flip...honestly couldnt have vegged any more though...or could I???) but nope, hopefully the buttons start to set quickly now though. Apart from that, all going well so far. Been a bit of a drop in the temps outside and clearer nights so hopefully that helps bring day temps and night temps down a bit - bringing down humidity some too. Need to restart my CO2 Jug now for the flowers and keep on watching them grow! Happy growing all! 💪

She's a little shorter than the others in the tent so I didn't top her again this week, but is looking healthy with full green leaves. Had to go out of town for a while which is why there was a little standing water in the video. Don't usually do this but was rushing before heading out for a few days. This plant is now on the left in the timelapse video. Enjoy!

Photoperiod buds 🤩 The smell is absolutely divine very fruity,sweet & tropical🍋🍊🍉🍌 Solid like a diamond 💎 Bay harbor butcher’s trim to show the density

Week 5 of the flowering for the gorilla gas has finished up. They are definitely smelling really nice and stacking like crazy. All different smells and sizes. The tall one is fading and could probly use some more nutrients but I'm not going to push a lot now. Just coasting till the end. 3 more weeks. Everything is looking really good for the most part.

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A 📸 No Private Photos This Week… But She's Still Shining Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... I have to start this update with a confession. 😂📸 I didn't take individual photos of Blueberry Muffin Pheno A this week. There. I said it. My bad. 😂💚 I photographed her sister. I photographed the room. I have video showing the whole garden evolving. But somehow... this little lady escaped the camera this week. And I know. I know. She deserves better. 😂 So next week? She's getting her own proper photo session. Absolutely. But even without her individual gallery this week, I can still tell you exactly what I'm seeing. And what I'm seeing is... a beautiful little plant. Compact. Very compact. Actually... she could hardly be much smaller. 😂💚 She's continuing to do exactly what she has always done. Growing. Developing. Flowering. Staying compact. And quietly becoming more interesting every week. So although I don't have her personal photo gallery this time... I'm absolutely not going to let her disappear from the story. This girl deserves her spotlight. And we're going to give it to her. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And yet... twelve very different expressions. Some plants stretch. Some spread. Some become enormous. Some stay compact. Some build long branches. Some build dense clusters. And then there is Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. 😂💚 She's compact. Very compact. She's basically looked at the available space and decided: "No thanks. I'll keep it small." 😂 And honestly? I'm fascinated to see what she eventually produces from such a small framework. Because that's one of the questions this phenotype has been giving us from the beginning. How much can this little plant actually do? ──────────────────────── 💚 The Little One Keeps Doing Her Thing And that's really the story this week. She keeps doing her thing. No drama. No major intervention. No big structural changes. No need for me to jump in and try to redesign her. She's simply continuing forward. And that's something I've come to appreciate more and more as this run progresses. Not every week needs to be dramatic. Not every update needs to contain a major event. Sometimes the plant simply grows. And that's enough. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is doing exactly that. She's continuing to develop within her compact little structure. She's maintaining her place in the room. She's continuing her flowering journey. And she's doing it quietly. Just as we've come to expect from her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Could She Be Any Smaller? Honestly... look at this girl in the context of the room. 😂💚 She's tiny. She's compact. She's one of those plants where you almost have to remind yourself that she's still a full flowering plant sitting in a 15 L pot. And that's what makes her so interesting. She could hardly be much smaller. She's not trying to occupy every available centimetre. She's not reaching for the ceiling. She's not building some enormous structure. She's simply using the little framework she has. And now I am genuinely curious about what that means for her final production. Because that's the great unknown. We know she's small. We know she's beautiful. We know she's flowering. But how much can this little plant ultimately produce? That's something we're going to have to discover. And honestly? I'm really curious. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Small Frame. Big Question. This is another reason I love phenotype hunting. Sometimes the interesting question isn't: "How big is she?" It's: "What can she do with what she's got?" Blueberry Muffin Pheno A doesn't have a huge framework. She doesn't have a massive canopy. She doesn't occupy a huge amount of space. But she's still building flowers. She's still developing. She's still participating fully in this experiment. And that's what makes her worth following. The final result isn't decided by her height alone. There are still plenty of chapters left to write. So I'm watching. And I'm very curious. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Artificial Sun The room continues under the upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's lighting ecosystem. After the initial increase in PPFD, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing throughout the canopy depending on plant height and position. And Blueberry Muffin? She's still doing her thing under all those photons. She's not suddenly stretching. She's not suddenly changing her personality. She's simply continuing to develop within the compact architecture she's established. Same photons. Same room. Different plant. Different expression. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Room Is Changing — And She's Part of It Even though I didn't get individual photographs of her this week, I did get photographs and video of the room. And honestly... the room is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. 🌿💚🌸 When you step back and look at the entire 8×8, you can really appreciate how much everything has changed. These plants are no longer the little seedlings we started with. They're established flowering plants. They're developing their individual personalities. They're filling their spaces. They're becoming increasingly mature. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is right there among them. Small. Compact. Quiet. But definitely part of the picture. And sometimes seeing the whole room gives you a perspective that an individual photograph can't. You can see how different the plants are. You can see the different heights. The different structures. The different flower formations. And right there... our little Blueberry Muffin. Doing exactly what Blueberry Muffin does. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 📹 The Video Helps Tell Her Story This is where the video comes in. Even though I missed her individual photo session, the room footage gives us another way to see her. You can watch the plants moving through this stage together. You can see the overall evolution. You can see how the canopy has developed. And you can see Blueberry Muffin Pheno A sitting there in her little compact world. Sometimes a moving image tells you something different from a still photograph. The whole room becomes part of the story. And that's particularly useful in a project like this. Because this isn't just twelve individual plants. It's twelve individual plants sharing one environment. The video shows that beautifully. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Still No Reason to Chase Work And just like last week... there really isn't much for me to do to her. The structure is established. The plant is compact. The flowers are developing. The environment is stable. So we're not going to create work just because we feel like we should be doing something. 😂 No unnecessary intervention. No random defoliation. No reshaping for the sake of reshaping. She's doing her thing. So let her. At this stage, the grower becomes much more of a caretaker and observer. We provide. We monitor. We respond if necessary. And otherwise... we let the plant finish. ──────────────────────── 💚 The Plant Still Gets The Final Vote This remains one of the biggest principles behind the entire adventure. We can measure everything. We can record everything. We can look at numbers. We can compare photographs. We can watch videos. We can make notes. But ultimately... the plant gets the final vote. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is telling me that she's comfortable where she is. She's compact. She's flowering. She's developing. She's not asking for anything dramatic. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Nutrition — Keeping Things Consistent The nutritional program continues following the current flowering recipe: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Pure Zym — 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength remains around: ⚡ EC: ~2.04 mS/cm And irrigation remains approximately: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24h Again... nothing dramatic. No need to chase numbers. No need to reinvent the program. The room is moving forward. She's moving forward. So we continue. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 — Current Conditions The room remains under the same general environmental conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.04 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h 📏 Height: approximately 75 cm Same room. Same environment. Same lighting evolution. Same nutritional evolution. And our little Blueberry Muffin is still doing exactly what she knows how to do. Stay compact. Keep flowering. Keep growing. Keep surprising me. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 What Will This Little Plant Produce? This is probably the question I'm most curious about now. Because she's small. Very small. And that makes the eventual result particularly interesting. How much flower will she produce from this compact little framework? How will those flowers develop? How much density will she build? How will the final structure look? And perhaps most importantly... will the final result surprise me? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly why I'm excited to keep watching. The answer is still inside the plant. And we're going to let her show us. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Missing Photos — My Bad! Okay... let's address the elephant in the room. 😂📸 Yes. I missed her. Completely. I photographed her sister. I photographed the room. I got video. But somehow Blueberry Muffin Pheno A did not get her individual photo session this week. My bad. I know. She deserves better. 😂💚 But here's the good news: Next week? She's getting photographed. Properly. And I'm looking forward to it. Because after watching her continue developing for another week, I'm genuinely curious to see what the camera shows us. Sometimes you think you know what a plant looks like... and then you take the photograph and realize: "Oh. She's changed." So next week, we're fixing the photographic crime. 😂📸💚 ──────────────────────── 💚 Even Without Her Photos, She Still Deserves Her Spotlight And that's the important part. Missing a photo session doesn't mean missing the plant. She's still part of the experiment. She's still developing. She's still teaching us something. She's still one of the twelve individual stories that make up the 8×8 Adventure. And honestly... I don't think a single missed gallery is going to stop this little girl from shining. She's already doing that. She's simply doing it quietly. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now... I'm curious. Very curious. Because she's compact enough that I really want to see how this story ends. She's already shown us her personality. She's already shown us her structure. Now I want to see what she can produce. There is still development ahead. There are still flowers to mature. There are still changes to observe. And eventually... we'll get the answer to the question I've been carrying for a while: "What can this tiny little Blueberry Muffin actually do?" 😂💚 I don't know yet. And I'm perfectly happy with that. Let's find out together. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — The Little One Is Still Shining Week 12. No individual photos. No dramatic intervention. No major event. And honestly? I'm okay with all of that. Because Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is still doing exactly what she should be doing. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's staying beautifully compact. And she's continuing to make me curious. She's one of those plants where you look at her and think: "Could you possibly be any smaller?" 😂💚 And then you remember... the interesting part isn't how big she is. The interesting part is what she does with the space she has. And I can't wait to find out. So this week, the room photographs and video have to carry a little more of her story. But next week? We're giving this little lady her own gallery again. I promise. 😂📸💚 Until then... keep doing your thing, Blueberry Muffin. Stay compact. Stay beautiful. Keep building. And show me what you've got. Because I have a feeling this little plant still has something interesting to say. 💚🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the Blueberry Muffin genetics and allowing us to discover individual phenotypes like this wonderfully compact girl. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're now testing in the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another dimension to the lighting environment deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. This project has become so much more than simply growing twelve plants. It's about watching twelve individual personalities develop under the same roof. Some demand attention. Some demand space. Some demand patience. And some... quietly sit there and make you wonder: "How the hell are you going to produce all that flower from such a tiny little frame?" 😂💚 That's Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Small. Compact. Beautiful. Quiet. And still writing her story. And yes... I forgot to photograph her this week. 😂📸 My bad, little lady. Next week, the camera is coming for you. Until then... let the room show everyone how beautifully you're evolving. Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🌸

First week of flowering really beginning to develop a strong scent.

Day 29. Heavy work in progress, update will follow... Day 30. Job done, most lost almost all big fan leaves, all 3 Kushes where toped. In plans one more heavy training session in a week time, few days to recover and hopefully flower !!! Skunks overgrew Cheeses and start to smell, really to STINK ;)) And i love it !!! Next watering - full feed. Day 31. All Kushes have mini mag deficiency, but i get it with my lights often and know how to fight in early stages. All girls will get 3 feeds in a row. 1. CalMag only 2. Silica acid only 3. Full range of Biobizz feed. After installing new air fans, have to water girls almost every day. Try to feed them only once a week, but pot space taken in full by most of the girls and its time for first mini boost. Day 34. Girls got really heavy defoliation, HST , toping and LST session. First time in my life i trim toped plants so much, but they where reaching sky and stems too fragile for supercroping yet, i do it on branches, but not on mains. So i guess they will slow down a bit ;))) All girls got silica acid after. Happy Growing !

Cutting back for a 2 or 3 day flush to reset. Started experiencing possible nute lockout so giving it a few days to heal. Probably going to cause yield problems. First grow. Still learning new things every day. Yield isn’t the final goal. I am however excited about my new macro lens for my phone.

This weeks update! Grow tent- so I had a buddy do my res change I talked him through the whole process couldn’t make it to the grow this week. Number and everything where perfect but!. He didn’t close the valve all the way to the blue dream res tank and left the drain pump on🤦‍♂️🏾. So when I got there this week leaves where curling and brown thought it might be a nutrient issue. Opened the res to check it. And there was only about a gallon of water in there out of the usual seven. No major harm I was planning on doing my last defoliation to her this week anyway. But that could have been bad. They are both receiving half strength nutes of the ripening mix GH recommends. Would have been a perfect week if not for that. No harm no foul tho. But def bout to start pushing them on the flower nutes and get back up to my 1000 ppm range buy adding extra bloom formula! #Staykited

Bushing out nicely ✌️🏼
