Well we are at the end of week 2 and this gorilla cookies is doing well. I topped her on day 10 and it didn't slow her down at all. I attempted to start a little training on day 13 and that didn't go as planned. One of the mains snapped clean off as soon as I put pressure on it. Oops! She wasn't ready... Oh well, we are still early enough in the game that she should be able to overcome my brutality 👹. Other than that she is growing well and looking pretty happy. I'm hoping to get them moved into a better room in the next week or so when I can free up some space. Still giving them 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation.

High Intencity finish line 60-65 dli dayPronto te cortare, pero todavia hay tiempo Very close ,but not yet😎

Started out the week with a mini flush and nutrient change. The plants are doing great, the buds are filling out and leaves are beginning to get frosty.

I had to top Cantaloupe haze and White widow as they were too close to the lights and I didn't want to loose any ppfd on my lowers. My GSC seems perfect for not topping. next time I would top those strains at least once. I have been flushing the CH and getting run off around 1200ppm which seems like the max she can take the others like it stronger so I have been flushing them every 2-3 days. CH is tough to keep happy but will continue to monitor. All plants are in week 4 of flower 12/12 from seed.

Interesting grow I thought. Is it worth adding a co2 emitter in an open house or is it a waist. Mind u there r 3 people and 2 dogs when the house is full

Up on at day 45 of flowering now, and the plants are still doing great. They bounced back super quick from their defol on F35, and are now just slowly fattening up and starting to stink out the tent. Added in some more nematodes and predatory mites (mighty mites) as a purely preventative measure. Starting to ease up on some of the compost teas now as they mature, but they’re still getting some over the next few weeks.

All going well Super boof and one bubba Kush showing a few ambers Max ppfd 1000 in places

For the room this plant has, I'm impressed with it. I'll most likely run sour Jealousy again with more space.

make the strongest

🤩🤩

Only using water now as these ladies are now on their last leg of their lives. This so far is my best grow, being my 4th grow I feel like me and my wife have become somewhat knowledgeable to what nutrient are needed as well as problems that happen, we have dealt with quite a few mistakes and this grow was much better and the plants are showing us how well we did and I thank my Wife for getting the water ready and watering the plants I cannot reach. My Youtube where I document them every couple of days https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUke77QwIik22amHxq6JoQ

Day 45 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Lemon skittles and XXL ammo are tall, bud nice and smelly plants! The Kabul is more of a dense compact build, I'm excited to see what they grow into 😍 Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 48 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 Vid + pic update ✌️💚

3/30 Monday RF3's are doing great! EC was a little high 1.2 but with runoff they are ok. 3/31 3PM One is already throwing resin!!!❄️ they look so good.....im going full power soon on these with 2 Mars Hydrow TS 1000's. I have a CBG and Pink Kush Auto by Seedsman they are slow and need lots of power, not giving up, CBD and CGG are harder to grow especially in lower power setups. These RF3's will NOT have that problem. Not only are they just perfect smelling, tarp profile...they are ALSO more photo efficient. These are fine for lower 80 90ish watt grows and still get about 3OZ, in a smaller container, probably lots more in the 2 gallon and more lights at half power. IF I shut down all but one 1 tent (low power still a priority) and run 2 ts1000's they will be massive!! Out doors would just be crazy I m guessing 👍 4/1 12pm We're gonna need a bigger TENT!!!💐🌼Humboldt Seed company email today...Im doing this!!! https://californiahempseeds.com/garden-seeds/ 4/3 4am Took OUT the FE1500 with Samsung LED's and now using only 1 TS1000 getting much better light dispersal, higher PPFD and very low watts now. RF3's are very light efficient so the is a great setup, no heat!! very low power, no heat very safe and clean. all powered by solar. 3:30PM ONE light now at 60 from 75. PPFD 750 -800, 8 inches from most colas 1 closer might be Gorilla Strawberry so a MONSTER might need her own tent.... maybe another light..... great fun experience experiment with lights 2 TS1000 in 2x2 at 60 W is great for a packed tent with 4 photos. I over planted and wont do this much again so 1 TS1000 is pretty much all that is needed a perfect light in every way!

End of Week 3 into Week 4 and She's Growing BEAUTIFULLY without an Issue to Note. Huge Fan Leaves with Short Internode Spacing. I'm continually Tucking Leaves as an Alternative to Defoliation n it seems to be Working Nicely. Lower Node Growth Shooting toward the Top of the Plant. Her First Pistils have appeared so this Week She'll be getting "Transition" Feeding at 1/2 Dosage with Full CalMag Plus and a Light Dose of Liquid KoolBloom.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | A Gentle Giant Finds Her Rhythm Welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite aspects of this project is documenting every phenotype individually. Although every plant is receiving the same care, the same environment, and the same attention, each one responds in her own unique way. Godfather OG Pheno B is a perfect example of that. Standing proudly among the tallest plants in the room, she’s developing into a vigorous, elegant lady with excellent structure, healthy growth, and an increasingly impressive canopy. She may share the same name as her sister… But she’s writing a completely different story. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far If you’re joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of allowing a long vegetative period before switching to flower, every plant has remained under a constant cycle of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very beginning. This allows every phenotype to express its own natural rhythm. No forcing. No extended veg. Just letting genetics decide when they’re ready to bloom. That has become one of the most educational parts of this entire grow. Watching siblings respond differently under identical conditions never gets old. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Has Officially Begun For me, this marks Week One of Flower. She’s now fully entering that exciting transition where vegetative growth slowly gives way to reproductive growth. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the tops and developing branches. Those tiny white hairs are the first signs of the flowers to come. During the next several weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each growth tip transforms into a future cola. Every morning brings another little surprise. It’s one of those stages where you can almost watch the plant changing before your eyes. ⸻ 🌿 A Beautiful Structure Already reaching approximately 70 cm, Godfather OG Pheno B is another one of the largest ladies inside the grow room. She has developed a wonderfully open structure with strong vertical growth and healthy lateral branching. Throughout vegetative growth I’ve relied mainly on gentle Low Stress Training, carefully bending leaves and branches to improve light penetration while allowing the plant to maintain her natural architecture. Rather than forcing the plant into shape… I’ve simply guided her. Now those early adjustments are beginning to pay off as multiple flowering sites receive excellent light exposure. Every branch is beginning to compete for the spotlight. ⸻ 💧 Hand Watering — Precision Through Observation Unlike her sister, this phenotype is being hand-watered, allowing me to monitor her individually at every irrigation. Hand watering offers a different type of control. Each watering becomes an opportunity to inspect the plant closely, evaluate her response, monitor runoff, and make small adjustments whenever needed. It’s a slower approach than automated irrigation, but it creates a very personal connection with each plant. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also transitioned to support this new phase of growth. Bloom nutrients are gradually taking the lead while maintaining enough nitrogen to fuel the final stretch before the plant fully commits her energy to flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Continues to Deliver The grow room continues providing an exceptionally stable environment. Current conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Nutrient solution: 24.2°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Everything remains remarkably consistent, allowing the plants to focus entirely on healthy growth. As flowering progresses and the buds begin to develop greater density, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Consistency remains one of the most important nutrients we can provide. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs capture her from every angle. Studio portraits showcase her elegant structure and increasing height. Close-up images reveal the first pistils emerging across multiple flowering sites. Bird’s-eye views highlight how evenly the canopy is developing after weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with environmental controller readings so everyone following this project can continue seeing not only the plants themselves, but also the conditions helping them thrive. Documenting the entire journey has become almost as rewarding as growing the plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming week should bring another noticeable burst of development. I expect the flowering sites to expand quickly as more pistils appear and the early bud clusters begin taking shape. Stretch may continue for a little longer before gradually slowing down, allowing the plant to redirect more energy into flower production. Training will remain minimal from this point onward, with only gentle adjustments where needed to maintain airflow and light penetration. She’s healthy. She’s vigorous. And I have a feeling she’s only beginning to reveal what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure.
