Raspberry Cough and Candyland are sprinting out in front of the holy punch. They both seem stronger and denser. I’ll do a second run of the holy punch next grow to see if I can get a better outcome!

ainda tentando corrigir o erro do PH, lavando o solo com aguá PH 6.5, nao sei se vou conseguir reverter, o erro foi muito tardio, numa fase crucial, mas seguindo..

Sie gehen gut in den Stretch und legen gut an Höhe zu. Die ersten Blüten bilden sich aus.

Welcome to week 3! The last few plants that weren't topped should be ready fairly soon. Only 2 of the plants have bugs as far as I could tell but all of them will be treated just in case. Insecticide applications will be recorded as ~X. I will apply it as a spray on the foliage and over the top of the soil, the issue is relatively small now so I don't see the need to fully water with it - 07/09/23 7:58pm. The leaves are getting noticeably bigger after topping and supplementing! Haven't seen any more bugs either so far - 07/10/23 7:01pm. I saw a bug or two in some of the pots so I used a little bit more mammoth - 07/11/23 9:20pm. Some of the leaves on the bottom were yellowing and some spots are appearing on some of the more developed leaves as well. I clipped the lower leaves that were yellow, I believe it's most likely calcium deficiency. I added some Pesticide to the water for tonight as the bugs won't go away and I was only doing some spraying on the top soil until now. On the positive side they seem to be overcoming the stress of the topping extremely well and the double stems are growing strong - 07/15/23 8:00pm. ~W - Water ~SW - Supplemented Water ~X - Pesticide

420 Fastbuds Week 9 Gorilla Cookies Auto Week 9 update for these two temperamental girls. They absolutely did not like the feeding I gave them a few feds back. Over all besides the yellow and crispy leafs they appear to be growing good. I'm only going to give them maybe two more weeks before they get the chop.

I had an easy week, the seeds from the mix pack I bought are really flourishing and they are growing at a good rate. Very healthy.

🌸 Week 9 – Opening the Door for the Flowers Blueberry Muffin has always had an interesting personality in this tent. She's not the tallest plant. She's not the largest plant. But she's been quietly building herself into a compact flowering machine. And that's exactly why I decided that a little selective defoliation was appropriate this week. We're not trying to strip her. We're not trying to make her naked. We're simply opening some space. A few leaves here. A little overlap there. Removing foliage that is no longer helping the structure we're trying to maintain. The goal is simple: More breathing room. Better light movement. Better airflow. Less unnecessary congestion. And when you have twelve different plants sharing the same room, sometimes opening one plant slightly also helps the environment around her. That's the beauty of working with the whole garden rather than looking at each plant in isolation. ✂️ Defoliation – It's About Purpose, Not Punishment I've talked about this before, but this week is a perfect opportunity to repeat it. Defoliation isn't about removing leaves because leaves are somehow "bad." They're not. Healthy leaves are incredibly valuable. They're photosynthetic organs. They're producing the energy the plant uses to grow and develop. So when I remove a leaf, I want to have a reason. Maybe it's heavily overlapping another leaf. Maybe it's sitting inside an increasingly congested section of the canopy. Maybe it's shading a developing flower while contributing relatively little to the structure. Maybe removing it creates a much better pathway for air. And sometimes... it's simply part of cleaning the plant. That's the approach we're taking with Blueberry Muffin. Selective. Intentional. Moderate. We're not trying to win a defoliation competition. We're trying to create a healthier, more manageable flowering plant. 💨 Airflow Becomes More Important as Flowers Develop This is where the timing becomes particularly interesting. As the plant gets deeper into flower, the canopy naturally becomes more complicated. Flowers get larger. Leaves overlap. Branches carry more biomass. And spaces that were wide open earlier in the grow can gradually become pockets of dense vegetation. That's not automatically a problem. But it's something worth managing. One of the reasons I wanted to open Blueberry Muffin a little more this week was simply to maintain air movement through the plant. Good airflow doesn't mean blasting the flowers with a hurricane. It means avoiding stagnant pockets of humid air trapped inside dense vegetation. And as we move further into flowering, that's increasingly important. Because nobody wants to discover a problem after flowers have already become dense. Prevention is much easier than trying to fix a problem later. 💧 Helping the Room Breathe There's another interesting side effect to opening the canopy. The plants are collectively producing and moving a lot of moisture through transpiration. When twelve plants are sharing a relatively enclosed environment, the canopy itself becomes a major part of the room's microclimate. Opening congested areas gives moving air more pathways through the plants. That can help reduce pockets of trapped humidity around the foliage. And when the canopy breathes better, the whole room benefits. Again, this isn't about expecting defoliation to magically control room humidity. The ventilation system is still doing the heavy lifting. But good canopy management can make the environment easier to manage. And that's exactly what we're looking for. 💡 Every Photon Has Somewhere to Go Blueberry Muffin is also at an interesting size. She's approximately 75 cm tall. That's not a huge plant. And because she's relatively compact, I want to make sure the available light isn't unnecessarily intercepted by layers of foliage sitting on top of other foliage. Yes, she has support from the under-canopy and inner-canopy lighting strategy. And that's fantastic. But additional lighting doesn't mean we should deliberately create unnecessary barriers between the light and the flowers. If we can open a section naturally and allow more photons to travel through the canopy, why not? We're not trying to expose every square centimetre of the plant. We're simply making the canopy a little more efficient. Sometimes the best lighting upgrade is simply... removing something that doesn't need to be in the way. 🌸 The Flowers Are Taking Over Now And this is where the photographs become particularly exciting. The flowers are becoming increasingly obvious throughout the plant. The white pistils are still doing a lot of the visual talking, but the individual flowering sites are gaining structure and substance. She's moving away from that early-flower appearance where everything is basically a collection of little pistil-covered points. Now we're beginning to see the plant building actual floral mass. The branches are carrying their flowers with confidence. The canopy has become more compact. And the whole plant feels like she's entering another chapter. This is the stage where I stop being interested in how much she's going to stretch... and become much more interested in how much she's going to stack. ? The Blueberry Muffin Personality One thing I really appreciate about this phenotype is how different she looks when compared with some of the other genetics in the tent. She's not trying to dominate. She isn't the tallest. She doesn't have the most dramatic structure. But she's developing her own little architecture. And that's what this entire 8×8 Adventure is about. Twelve genetics. One room. One general environment. And twelve completely different answers. Blueberry Muffin's answer seems to be: "Give me some time." And now she's starting to show us why. 💚 Nutrition – Staying the Course There's no reason to reinvent the feeding programme this week. We're keeping nutrition essentially unchanged. Current feeding remains: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required The plant continues receiving the same flowering nutrition rather than reacting to every small visual change with another adjustment. That's important. We made a structural intervention this week. We don't need to simultaneously start changing everything else. One change at a time makes the plant much easier to read. 🌡️ The Room Has Changed And this week we do have a small but interesting environmental change. The daytime temperature remains around: 29°C But the night temperature is now approximately: 26°C Last week we were around 25.6°C, so the difference isn't dramatic, but the overall night temperature is slightly warmer. That means our day/night temperature differential is now smaller. We're also sitting around: RH: 60% Solution temperature: 25°C Root-zone/substrate temperature: 25°C CO₂: ~693 ppm Light schedule: 12/12 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Container: 15 L And I actually like observing these little changes. The room doesn't have to remain frozen in time. What matters is understanding what changed and watching how the plants respond. At this stage, with flowers getting denser, keeping the canopy open and maintaining good air movement becomes even more valuable. 🌙 Day vs Night – The Difference Matters One of the things I enjoy about documenting these numbers is that they tell us more than a single temperature reading. We're running approximately: 29°C during the day → 26°C at night. That's only about a 3°C difference. Earlier in the run, the difference was a little larger. As the room changes, so does the relationship between temperature, humidity, transpiration and plant development. And this is why I don't like looking at temperature or humidity as isolated numbers. The plant doesn't experience "29°C." It experiences: temperature + humidity + light + airflow + root-zone conditions + CO₂ + time of day. Everything interacts. And right now, I'm happy with what the room is showing us. We're watching it. We're measuring it. And we're adjusting when necessary rather than reacting to every little fluctuation. 🔬 One More Reason I Like This Defoliation There's something else happening here that I think is easy to overlook. Cleaning the plant isn't only about what remains. It's also about what we can see afterward. Once some of the unnecessary foliage is removed, I can see the flowering structure much more clearly. I can see which branches are developing strongly. I can see where flowers are stacking. I can see where the canopy remains dense. And I can see what might need attention later. In other words... defoliation also improves observation. And for this project, observation is half the fun. 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, I want to keep things relatively simple. No unnecessary training. No dramatic interventions. No chasing numbers just because they're numbers. We'll continue watching the flowers develop, monitoring the canopy and paying attention to how she responds to the cleanup. The next stage should increasingly be about: 🌸 flower stacking 🌸 calyx development 🌸 increasing resin production 🌸 increasing flower density 🌸 maintaining airflow 🌸 keeping the environment stable The framework is already there. Now we're entering the part of the journey where patience becomes more important than intervention. We've done our job. Now... let Blueberry Muffin do hers. 💭 Final Thoughts – Making Space for What's Coming I think this week is a really good example of how I like to grow. We didn't defoliate because someone told us: "Week 9 means defoliation." We did it because the plant changed. She's becoming more compact. She's developing more flowers. The canopy is getting denser. She isn't a particularly tall plant, so making the available photons work efficiently matters. And with twelve plants sharing the same room, keeping air moving through the garden matters too. So we opened her up. Not dramatically. Not aggressively. Just enough. And now she looks cleaner, more open and easier to read. That's what I wanted. Not a naked plant. A better-organised plant. And honestly... she looks fantastic. Blueberry Muffin may not have started this journey as the plant that immediately grabbed everyone's attention. But she's slowly becoming one of those phenotypes where you look back at the earlier photographs and think: "Oh... now I see what she was doing." She's been building toward this. And now she's starting to show it. ?🌸🔥 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these genetics, Plagron for supporting the garden throughout the journey, Future of Grow for providing the light that powers this experiment, Lumiflora for bringing additional light into the inner and lower canopy, TrolMaster for helping maintain environmental stability, and of course everyone following this 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week gives us another little lesson. Sometimes it's about nutrition. Sometimes it's about environment. Sometimes it's about genetics. And sometimes... it's simply about knowing when to take a few leaves away and give the plant a little more room to breathe. Blueberry Muffin is entering another chapter now. The canopy is open. The flowers are developing. The room is stable. And there's still plenty of story left to write. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚?

Hello everyone😎 Week 6 of flower for the LCC🍋🍒🍪 All the top buds harvested✂️ I had a lot of fun growing this strain🤩 The smell is absolutely out of this world…the colors…💜 I have 3 different pheno,all purple,some smells more citrus and the others more ripe cherries! One more week for the lower buds and finito I already feel nostalgic😜 *what’s coming out of the yuzu is essentials oil,every year I make Yuzucello feel free to ask me the recipe🍸🍋

Die zweite Blütewoche startet für die Ladies mit Futter in Form von jeweils 5ml Biotabs Bio PK 5-8. Ich starte erstmal mit der halben Dosis und beobachte wie die Pflanzen sich verhalten. Ich habe das Bio PK in weniger Wasser (ca 300ml / 5ml / je Pflanze) als empfohlen gelöst, um die Untersetzer nicht zu fluten. Ich nehme an bei 4 Liter Nährstofflösung pro Topf würden sonst die Wannen überlaufen. Außerdem habe ich wieder einige Blätter entfernt. Einige Blätter haben einen relativ speziellen Charakter. Einige Tage nach dem letzten Blattschnitt habe ich das Netz eingehängt - besser spät als nie. Bei der Gelegenheit habe ich auch wieder einige Blätter entfernt. Um zu schauen was mich eventuell erwarten könnte, habe ich bei meinem Apotheker des Vertrauens ein bisschen GMO zkittlez bestellt. Etwas speziell, gefällt mir aber sehr gut. 🙏🏻💪🏻 Die Ladies haben die zweite Hälfte Bio PK bekommen. Die Lampe läuft auf 150W Leistung.

This strain grows compact yet airy with a nice layer of frost , there was a kush type smell but unlike the last time I grew this strain there was no lemon smell at all, nice and relaxing for day time use ,

11/6 Monday. She’s very very dry today. I’m gonna do 96 ounces of water she’ll take all that and I’m gonna do the medium feeding schedule and I’m gonna go with the bloom tastic I’m gonna do two mils per gallon. 11/7 after the water last night she did really good, but because I did not top her at the fourth node, I usually do. I just tied the branches back with those plastic clips I need to defoliate there’s way too much underneath I’ve never had this kind of growth before so I have to go and trim out some of the non-functioning branches and some of the bigger leaves to get some airflow and light to the bottom. She’s really great I’m super surprised last time I had bad Soil and this time I have some bugs but I’ve sprayed for them and she’s responding well I also gave that bloom hardener sooner than I should’ve but she’s doing good LST went good 👍 8 hours later she’s responding. Well leaves are starting to reach up again because I lowered the light to 92 W whenever they start pushing down it seems like there’s too much light which also means it’s cooler so it’s just great. I’m glad I got the Mars Hydro lights. They’ve made a huge difference being able to put the driver outside the tent without having to buy any extras. I’ll probably get a fourth one of those eventually. 11/8 Wednesday super early morning I dried some of the little branches. I took off overnight and I’m smoking them right now. I can’t believe it. She is so strong. Her leaves are really starting to wake up. Lowering the light made a huge difference. the light was just too powerful. I keep forgetting that so I turned it down to about 92 W and she’s really waking up today. It’s incredible and I’m a little bit dizzy. It’s a little stronger than I thought. This is one of my best ones. I really like this. 👍👍👍 11/8 PM I turned the light up 5 W. It made a pretty good difference and I raised it up about 2 inches to get a little more light spread. I did another unexpected watering today. She was completely dry so I did a full gallon. I mean 96 ounces with half gallon measured out nutrients, I had some weird issues with my water. I hope it doesn’t affect the plants. I boiled my water and I look at the top of it and lots of small particles floating on the top of the water & the bottom of the pan has something brown burned onto it. Very weird. 11/9 👍👍👍🤩 11/10 I did another watering using 96 ounces this morning. She is growing like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Last time I topped her between the third and fourth node to keep her small and I did it way too soon. I was experimenting so her main stem was really thin and this time is one of the thickest ones I’ve had, so she clearly does not like being topped and now she’s growing into a beautiful monster it’s just great is probably one of my best grows 11/11 her buds really seemed to swell overnight after the defoliation and the feeding. Lowering the lights wattage as helped I’m just going to leave her alone today, but wow.🤩 She had a really good day. I did a little extra tying down of some branches. I didn’t takeoff early any leaves just one or two let her heal a lot from trimming yesterday she doing great probably my best grow ever and the first time that I’ve just used tying the branches down instead of topping much better result for this plant. 11/12 Sunday end of the week. She has been phenomenal this week and her buds are really starting to swell. Now I have to spray for bugs. I think that the soil bugs are eating at the roots whenever I spray at the bottom of the bag I immediately could results so there’s something in the soil I’m competing with, but she is the best girl I’ve ever had. You can get up to nine free seats if you buy the right thing on seedsman and so I stocked up on these critical pluses now I know how big they get. I’m gonna keep growing these and they smell so good .

Week 6 of flower for these ladies and their pistols are all starting to turn very orange. You can see in the picture of the burn leaf that I messed up on the PH and let it run to high for to long, so my PH level was around 7.2 in my soil. The Ghost OG seems to be a bit behind in development than the other two but that’s fine. I’ll probably still chop her same day as the others because I won’t be running the ghost OG anymore. I have recently been stocking my personal seed vault. So in the near future after I get a strong mother from the Tropic Moon & Dark Plasma by OceanGrownSeeds. I plan on also be running the Dominatrix and the Primal Punch F2 by EmpireBreedingCo. I hope you guys are excited to see these strains grown. If you don’t know of OceanGrownSeeds or EmpireBreedingCo make sure to check them out on Instagram. Thanks for checking out the garden.

Inicio de floración , fotoperiodo 12/12h. bajo 300W, ATS Pro 2,7 µmol/J. Por lo que hace al cultivo. Una segunda aplicación foliar con Spider boom 3ml/l para prevenir posibles plagas de araña roja. Todo y habiendo unas temperaturas en el exterior de 0ºC en el interior se está bastante bién. 😋 Así de primeras diria que esta luminaria me parece de lo mejorcito que he tenido nunca, reparte la luz como ninguna otra penetrando mucho mejor. Otra es la comodidad para bajar o subir la potencia y la posibilidad de añadirle un controlador que monitorea la temperatura de la sala de cultivo, el fotoperiodo y la intensidad, así como la atenuación de potencia. Esta semana cansado de ir bajando o subiendo la potencia del extractor durante todo el año he decidido probar un SMSCom Smart Controller. De esta manera espero no sufrir tanto por las subidas ni por las bajadas de temperatura. Muchas veces son las que por A o por B descuido el interior y casulamente son los dias que el tiempo cambia repentinamente. Un primer foliar con Delta9 para que se pongan fuertes para lo que les viene.

Cada día crecen más esta semana las pasamos a floración y mostraron un buen desarrollo sin estrés ni deficiencias alguna, detectamos en la candy crush que se volvió hermafrodita,posteriormente la retiramos del cuarto de cultivo........

Week 3. Botanicare is working wonders. I went ahead and topped at the third node. And started giving plants full grow nutes. The Banana Biscotti looks so good I might clone it. The Ice Dream Cake hasn’t bounced all the way back yet.

June 16th, 2022 - plant had some living soil amended into substrate, plant was fed on the 14th, defoliated a bit, extra support installed due to the punishing winds of the location. More Rain Heat and Humidity are scheduled. See where it goes… she looks Healthy

The end is near ! The buds are developping quite well - i don't overfeed them so i don't expect are spectacular grow, but they are doinf very nicely on their level. They still drink a lot and get wider with each new day. 🙌

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥
