Hey there growers!! Sorry for skipping flower so bad.. here are some videos of the ninth and tenth week. No excuses, but someone stole from me back then and I didn't feel like making videos for a couple of weeks. But the experience went on, the female plant reversed and it's pollinating itself with my help like you see in the videos. Sorry again for the Spanish audio 😅

Week 7 - Oh Mehn There’s So Much To Say About These Girls, I’ll Start With The Purple Power, It Is Ready To Be Harvest Anyday Now But I’m Looking To Push It To Week 8, It Has A Strong Aroma Of Sweet Berries. The Stardawg And Girls Scout Cookies (3gal) Are Putting On Some Dense Nuggets I Like How They’re All Looking Identical That’s A Good Sign. The Stardawg Has A Lemon But Earthy Scent And The 3gal Girls Scout Cookies Smells Like A Citrus Lemon With A Hint Of Pine, The Buds Are So Hard And Sticky Mehn I Cant’t Wait To Taste These Girls. The Other Don’t Have A Scent And The Gorilla Glue Having Start To Flower Yet Probably Gonna Steal The Show In The End! And I Would Like For MSNL To Acknowledge I Grew There Auto Lemon OG Up To A 100cm Be Sure To Like My Grow Diary. Height Chart: Girls Scout Cookies: 30 1/2 (3gal) Purple Power: 29 1/2 inches Stardawg: 34 1/2 Girls Scout Cookies: 37 1/4 inches Gorilla Glue: 24 inches Lemon OG: 39 1/4 Inches

Hey now, hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend. Not much to be done this week, I did some LST just trying to keep the 2 mains as flat as possible. They are pushing their fifth node, and that is where i will top them as soon as I can, probably in a day or two. Most people top their mainlines at the 3rd node for the second topping, however I like a wider bush, and also when using a Metal Halide Bulb it causes the nodes to grow extremely close together, but also creates super thick stems capable of producing massive colas. I will do the next toppings at the 3rd nodes, and then the final toppings at the 1st node. I have my coco coir ready to roll for the transplant into the 12.5 gallon container, but that will take place in about 10-12 days or so based on how she grows and responds to training. I made another batch of Canna Sugar this week, it is amazing....I just decarb then soak about a Quarter Pound of flower in everclear for a few months, then strain it over sugar and stir it occasionally, until all the alcohol evaporates which takes a few days....Great in your morning coffee....Thanks for stopping by, stay safe and Blaze On!

Almost the end of her cycle! Thanks to Luuk from Seeds Genetics Co. For the support and good communication. Really nice genetics they have. Give them a try. The results you can see here. Just a few words from me: i love to grow plants, i dont care if its marijuana or garden plants. I know a bit in what stage the plant needs. So im not this guy that is constant working with meters and science and showing this or that. The plants speaks for themselves. The plant needs her building block and i try my best to deliver this to lovely Marie Jane. So people do what you want to do, i do it my way and i only care about the end result. On this Diary there are some haters, im not going to give their names, but luckily they are the minority. For the rest, i really love this growers diaries, it really brings this community together and also its a big playground for the breeders, now we can see the results real life! With my grow, i have 2 phenotype. One with red in the buds, this one smells more punchy. The phenotype with some red leafs and more green buds have a more sweet smell. Both is packed with trychromes, really good for making bubble hash or Rosin... The buds are super big and dense. Mould resistance is very good! The buds are super sticky and she smells very like candy and red fruits. Im not a wine drinking person, so dont hold me on that one. She is easy to grow and will get big fast, so one week of 18/6 light is good enough for 60/80 cm plants🌿💚🍀 i have 3 gallon (11L) baskets Nutrition: im not a person who precisely mesures the food for the plants. As long the pH is correct, also im reading the plants. I always give les then is asked on the bottles. I also give weeks in advance the nutrition they need in the cycle, because plants need this to start. Smell: plant already have a nice smell, very punchy, forest fruits and sweet wood. Health: nice strong plants, will grow big and flower fast! -----------Red Wine-------- Red Wine was created by crossing Rozay F2 with Jet A. They are 2 very powerful aromatic Cali hybrids. This exclusive new Cali strain is a very strong and fast flowering indica-dominant strain. It has an aromatic, intoxicating and relaxing effect. That is comparable to enjoying a good glass of wine. Red Wine has an average flowering time of about 7-8 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoors it is ready fairly early, usually around the end of September. The yield is very good. Indoors she has an average yield of 450-650 gr/m². When growing outdoors, 600-800 grams can easily be achieved per plant. Red Wine has an aromatic scent that can be compared to a full red wine. Her full, purple-green buds are very compact with few leaves. This is very convenient when cutting the plants and saves a lot of time. Smoking this weed gives you a nice high with relaxing properties. The taste of Red Wine is very fruity sweet with an aroma of red grapes. Flowering time: 7 – 8 weeks Genetics: Rozay F2 x Jet A 30% Sativa, 70% Indica Plant height outside: 100 – 180 cm Outdoor harvest month: from June to October Yield indoors: 450 – 650 gr/m² Yield outdoors: 200 – 800 gr / plant THC: 25% Red Wine from Seeds Genetics Co.

I started the GSC seeds from HSC by soaking in a glass of water overnight then planted in coco coir under a humidity dome in my veg tent. I will plant them in flower box in a couple weeks when they can handle the feed that my BB clone is on right now. On day 5 my 2 other Gsc seeds rotted perhaps too wet but I have one good remaining for this run. I started White widow seeds and will run 2 phenos. Gsc is looking good so far.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 ✨ She's Shining — And Sometimes Beautiful Plants Need a Little Cleaning Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And our Frosted Guava girl? She's still shining. 🌿✨ Actually... She's shining more and more. The flowers are developing beautifully, the plant remains lush and green, and those gorgeous flowering structures are becoming increasingly impressive. But this week wasn't just about watching her grow. This week, she told me something. She needed a little attention. Not because anything was wrong. Not because she was struggling. Simply because she had reached the point where some of the older, tired leaves had done their job and it was time to clean things up. So... we did exactly that. A little defoliation. A little cleaning. A little maintenance. And then? Back to letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. And shine. 💚 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop under the same general environment. The same room. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. The same environmental philosophy. The same nutrition strategy. The same lighting ecosystem. And yet... every plant tells a completely different story. Frosted Guava Pheno A has been writing hers beautifully. She's not necessarily the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to compete with every phenotype around her. She simply has her own personality. And right now, that personality is becoming very easy to recognize: lush, green, balanced, beautiful, and increasingly frosty. ✂️ This Week: Time for a Cleanup Last week I was looking at her thinking: "She's looking really good." This week I was looking at her thinking: "Okay girl... I think you need a little haircut." 😂 There were older leaves. Leaves that had started to fade. Leaves that were no longer contributing much to the plant. And there were a few areas where the canopy simply benefited from a little more organization. So we went in and cleaned her up. Nothing extreme. Nothing crazy. No stripping the plant bare. Just a sensible removal of the leaves that had reached the end of their useful life and a little bit of canopy maintenance. Because there's an important difference between defoliating a plant because you think you should... and cleaning a plant because you've actually looked at the plant and decided it needs it. This week was the second one. 🍃 We Don't Need to Take Everything One thing I always want to make clear when I talk about defoliation: The goal isn't to remove every leaf. Far from it. Healthy leaves are still part of the plant's machinery. They're capturing light. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. So even after the cleanup, plenty of healthy foliage remains. I took what needed to come out. I left what still had a job to do. And that's the balance I'm looking for. You don't need to make a plant look naked to call it clean. You need to make the plant appropriate for the environment it's growing in. And Frosted Guava now looks exactly where I want her. Clean enough. Open enough. But still beautifully green and full of life. The Job Isn't Finished When the Leaves Come Off And here's something that I think deserves much more attention in grow diaries: What happens after defoliation? Because removing old leaves from the plant is only part of the job. If those leaves fall onto the floor... they don't magically disappear. 😂 They stay there. They dry. They break down. They can accumulate underneath plants, around pots, in corners and in places where we don't necessarily notice them immediately. And that's not what I want inside my growing environment. So after cleaning the plant... we clean the room. Old leaves come out. Plant debris comes out. The floor gets cleaned. The areas underneath the canopy get checked. Anything that shouldn't be there... gets removed. Because maintaining a clean growing environment isn't about making the room look pretty for photographs. It's about good hygiene. It's about reducing unnecessary organic debris. It's about making the environment less welcoming to unwanted problems. And when you're running a full room like this... cleanliness matters. 🌿 A Clean Plant in a Clean Environment This is something I've learned more and more throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The plants are only one part of the ecosystem. The room itself matters. The floor matters. The pots matter. The airflow matters. The surfaces matter. The little pieces of dead plant material hiding underneath the canopy matter. Everything contributes to the environment. So when we clean a plant, we're not finished when the scissors stop moving. We clean the whole area. And then we can close the tent and say: "Okay. Now we're ready for another week." That's exactly what we did with Frosted Guava. 🌸 And She's Looking Beautiful And after all that maintenance... the best part? Look at her. She's beautiful. The green is still gorgeous. The flower structures are developing beautifully. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still standing proudly throughout the flowers. And the resin development continues becoming increasingly visible. This is one of those plants where I genuinely enjoy looking at the photographs because there's so much going on. From a distance, you see the overall structure. Move closer... and suddenly you're looking at individual flowers. Move closer again... and the calyxes and pistils become their own little world. That's what makes this stage so fascinating. The plant is still changing. Every week. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Living Up to Her Name And yes... the frost continues. It's becoming increasingly easy to understand where the name Frosted Guava comes from. The flowers are developing that increasingly sparkling appearance, with resin becoming more obvious across the developing structures. We're still not at the finish line. Not even close to making any final judgments. But she's certainly giving us a beautiful preview. And those white pistils? I love them. They're still fresh and prominent throughout the flowers, giving the plant that wonderful contrast between deep green foliage and bright flowering sites. It's one of those combinations that never gets old. ☀️ Still Eating Photons The lighting strategy remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora continues contributing additional light into the lower portions of the canopy. And Frosted Guava is still doing what plants do best: turning photons into plant. Leaves capture light. The plant uses that energy. Structure develops. Flowers develop. And eventually we get to see the result of all of that work. At around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, there is plenty of light available above. The under-canopy lighting adds another interesting dimension to the experiment, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full. And Frosted Guava has plenty of flowering sites to keep us interested. 💧 Feeding Continues The nutrition program remains consistent. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters remain around: pH: 6.0 EC: ~2.0 mS/cm Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Solution temperature: 25°C Substrate temperature: 26°C And visually, she continues responding beautifully. There are no dramatic changes required. No reason to reinvent the program. She's growing. She's flowering. She's building. So we're continuing to let consistency do its job. 🌡️ Week 9 Environment Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°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 Stable. Consistent. Predictable. Exactly what I want while the plants continue doing their thing. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell two stories. The first is the plant itself. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful leaves. Beautiful structure. Beautiful colour. Beautiful development. The second story is what happened around the plant. The cleanup. The older leaves coming out. The canopy becoming a little more organized. And then the room being cleaned afterward. I think that's worth documenting too. Because growing isn't just about taking the beautiful photographs when everything looks perfect. It's also about the work that happens behind those photographs. The cleaning. The observation. The maintenance. The little decisions. The things nobody sees when they look at the final picture. That's part of the 8×8 Adventure too. Clean Room, Happy Room There is something extremely satisfying about finishing a cleanup and looking around the tent. No old leaves lying around. No unnecessary plant debris. The floor is clean. The canopy is tidy. The plants have room to breathe. And then you step back... and look at the whole 8×8. That's when you realize how far this project has come. What started as individual plants has become one enormous flowering garden. Every phenotype different. Every plant with its own personality. And Frosted Guava has found her place right in the middle of it. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now? We let her work. The cleanup is done. The room is clean. The healthy foliage remains. The flowers continue developing. And Frosted Guava can simply concentrate on the next stage of her journey. I'm especially curious to see how much more those beautiful flowers will develop from here. The calyxes. The pistils. The resin. The density. The final structure. There is still plenty of story left to write. And I have no intention of writing the ending before she does. 💚 Final Thoughts — She's Shining Frosted Guava Pheno A is becoming one of those plants that doesn't need an introduction anymore. You look at her... and you know why she's here. She's beautiful. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's green. She's flowering beautifully. And she's getting increasingly frosty. This week she needed a little attention. So we gave it to her. We removed the older leaves that needed to go. We kept the healthy ones. We cleaned the canopy. And then we cleaned the room. Because good cultivation isn't only about what happens on the plant. It's also about what happens around the plant. Old leaves don't belong on the floor. Dead plant material doesn't belong underneath the canopy. And unnecessary debris certainly doesn't belong inside the growing environment. So we clean. We remove. We reset. And then... we let the plants shine again. And Frosted Guava? She's doing exactly that. She's shining. ✨🌿❄️ The green is beautiful. The flowers are beautiful. The calyxes are beautiful. The white pistils are beautiful. The frost is coming. And the whole plant is telling me the same thing: "I'm not finished yet." Good. Because neither am I. Let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for these Frosted Guava genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving this garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following, commenting, sharing knowledge and growing alongside me. This adventure isn't just about the final flowers. It's about everything that happens along the way. The experiments. The phenotype differences. The successes. The mistakes. The maintenance. The cleaning. The photographs. And all those little lessons that appear when you stop and actually pay attention. Frosted Guava Pheno A is giving me another one this week. Sometimes you don't need to change the plant. Sometimes you just need to clean the plant, clean the room, step back... and admire what you've built. And damn... she's beautiful. 💚🌿❄️ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

This is the week 2! Well, the plant looks really healthy, and she kept growing up, straight to the light! Good to see that even after the strange beginning, with the stem crooked, she recover her path! This week, I'm also planning to start feeding them with some NPK. Just need to read a little bit more about it and buy nutrients. Probably I'll try Canna stuff. Anyone know if it's good?

Day 58 : She started to fatten her buds. Also she has a small nitrogen deficiency. I think she will be ok. Nutrients added to water, CO2 stopped for all ladies. Edit (Day 62) : I watered again with nutrients, so to be ok with nitrogen. It seems that she faced the lack. I believe she will be that chop chop.

Now we are going to week four, the plants have started to really vegetate, I have seen rapid growth in cannabis and other plants before, however, this strain is growing very large at a tremendous pace. I am having no issues so far, I am doing very light training and I started using pH down, as the plants ingest the nutrients the pH is rapidly rising. I hope to preserve perfect pH within the next week and continue on. I have been adding a gallon of water every three days to keep the reservoir at the right level. The plants are receiving a constant PPM of 400. Not only am I seeing five-finger leaves but I am also seeing seven-finger leaves. The plants are looking very healthy and there are no issues at all so far. I have Started to train the plants and started mainlining, I have also slightly defoliated the plant. This Plant is overgrowing the free seed from seedsmen. ( in hindsight I have never gotten any good free seeds from seedsmen) Science: There are a few ideas in this grow journal that I am toying with. The first idea is putting low-voltage conduction through the roots of the plants, I strongly believe that stimulating the the roots with electricity will induce larger and stronger vegetation. The other idea is blasting the plants with low decibel sound waves. We will see. There is another idea I have with string LED lights. However, I'm going to keep some of my secret sauce to myself.
