Day 43 14/06/24 Friday So today was the day for cloning 🤩 I've kept it basic, taken 4 sides as clones. I've started their own diary now 👇💚 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/214698-divine-seeds-black-opium-grow-journal-by-pifflestikkz I haven't exactly mainlined as I have far to much going on ATM. But, I have taken the principle, kept my mains, stripped back and topped all. Resulted back to tie down LST. Hoping she recovers quickly so we can flip on the 8 week mark🙌 Day 44 15/06/24 Saturday Feed today 6.4 Day 47 18/06/24 Water today pH 6.4 Fully recovered from her massacre 💚 Since cloning and topping, she has started re development again 💪 Pushing herself out and up again 🙌 Day49 20/06/21 Thursday Feed today pH 6.25 Did it outside, Picture update 🤩

Welcome to my Slurircane Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer Days 56-63 only got days 56-58 & 63. Plant has moved from Pre Flower into fatthing on Day 58 r so. With the attempted Reveg. Pre flower was lost and any stretch. I now know when or how to stop a plant In its tracks.. during pre flower. Throw it into reveg (keeping dli within limits as if not, it'll continue to flower. So keeping in in the right DLI range is needed for reveg. I pult mine a just short of a week into it. And it was just a few days into pre flower and I stalled her at the height of 41cm. Another week maybe 2 of reveg would of got growth going again. But I decided to push ahead with fattening. She did put on a few cm finishing her pre flower but, nothing compared to what would of been if I hadn't of stalled and reveg. This can go bad. But, maybe I'll try again. As the colas, well, I've not had them like that. Not as this early stage. Look already how filled out they are. Will be short but mass should be good. Another 5-6 weeks of flower. High ppfd and 8-1300 co2. Diet/Defoliation Have moved her off Power Buds/Roots & moved to Green Sensation & PK 13/14. Done a hard defoliation and she has started putting on nice mass. Really happy with how she looks. Really healthy & Happy. She's a fast mover. Topped out a 41cm her tallest node. Most are 39.5 with an even canopy. I done 2 15% defoliations. Removing inside leafs around her nodes to allow air to move through the canopy. Premoting co2 exchange pushing newly made o2 out of the way on the stomata vent levels. As soon as plant hits ripening a lot should also be. So, I'll figure something out by then. Maybe an SF-1000 finish under low temps. As my main tent will be pushing 33-35c until end of the summer and beyond. This won't do for ripening. So, I've the perfect light for it. 900ppfd maybe I'll use at 80% and ripen her up nicely in 25-27c temp. Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER. Much appreciated for allowing me to test your products. Also, to those who stop by. I thank you and look forward to seen your work.

Week 5 of flower

? 8×8 Adventure – Week 10 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A A Quiet Girl Starting to Show Her Character 💚🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 If you've been following this grow, you already know that Blueberry Muffin has never really been the girl trying to steal the spotlight. She's compact. She's controlled. She's not particularly tall. And compared with some of the more aggressive plants in the room, she has always had a slightly slower, quieter rhythm. But that's exactly what makes watching her so interesting. Because while some plants seem to scream: "LOOK AT ME!" Blueberry Muffin has always been more like: "Don't worry. I'm getting there." 😂? And this week... She's still getting there. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Keeping Things Steady We're not making any dramatic changes this week. Actually, quite the opposite. At this stage, consistency is becoming one of the most important tools we have. We're keeping the environment as close as possible to where it was last week, maintaining the same general lighting, irrigation and feeding strategy while allowing the plant to continue developing at her own pace. Of course... It's summer. ☀️ And summer has other plans. Keeping temperatures absolutely identical day after day isn't realistic. We see a degree up. A degree down. A small fluctuation here. Another one there. And that's perfectly normal. What matters is that we're keeping those variations controlled rather than allowing the environment to swing wildly. The things we can keep stable... We're keeping stable. The nutrient solution. The watering. The root-zone conditions. The light schedule. The general humidity. The lighting intensity. And most importantly... The routine. ──────────────────────── ? Blueberry Muffin – Still the Compact One Blueberry Muffin is currently around 75 cm, and that hasn't changed dramatically. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Not every plant needs to become a giant. Not every phenotype needs to stretch aggressively. This girl has been telling us from the beginning that she prefers a more compact architecture. She's building flowers. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply doing it in her own time. And looking at the photographs this week, that's becoming increasingly obvious. The plant may be compact... But she is certainly not lacking in flowers. The developing buds are becoming more pronounced throughout the canopy, with plenty of pistils and increasingly defined floral structures. She's quietly stacking. And that's what I want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Stagnant This is something I think is worth mentioning. When we say Blueberry Muffin is slower than some of her neighbours, that doesn't mean she's sitting still. Far from it. She's changing every week. The flowers are developing. The branches are carrying more weight. The plant is gradually shifting from producing new vegetative structure toward putting more emphasis on the flowers already established. It's just happening without the explosive vertical growth we've seen from some of the other plants. And honestly... That can be a beautiful trait. A compact plant can sometimes make canopy management much easier. There's less vertical drama. Less fighting for height. Less chasing branches. And more time to simply watch the flowers develop. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Lights – Where the Photons Go One of the things I'm particularly enjoying at this stage is watching how the lighting strategy interacts with this plant. We're not simply throwing light at the top of the canopy and hoping for the best. The Future of Grow LEDs are providing the main lighting foundation above the plants, delivering the primary photon supply that drives photosynthesis across the canopy. And then we have Lumiflora contributing additional light into areas that would otherwise naturally receive less illumination. That's an important distinction. Plants don't experience light as: "Top light." They experience photons arriving from different directions and at different intensities. Our job is to make as many of those useful photons available to productive foliage and developing flowers as practical. And Blueberry Muffin's compact structure makes this particularly interesting. Because she's not extremely tall, we're able to maintain a relatively controlled relationship between the light and the canopy. The upper flowers receive strong illumination. The inner structure receives additional support. And the lower portions aren't simply forgotten. We're trying to create a more complete light environment rather than relying entirely on what happens at the very top. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons Are the Currency I've said this many times throughout the 8×8 Adventure, but flowering is really where the relationship between light and plant structure becomes fascinating. Every photon that reaches a photosynthetic surface has the potential to contribute to the plant's energy production. But that doesn't mean: More light = automatically better. The plant still has to process that light. Temperature matters. Humidity matters. CO₂ matters. Leaf health matters. Root health matters. Water availability matters. Nutrition matters. Everything is connected. And that's why I like having the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting working as part of the overall system rather than simply increasing intensity without thinking about the rest of the environment. We're trying to give the plant useful light while maintaining the conditions necessary for her to actually make use of it. And Blueberry Muffin seems very happy with the arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Flowers, Flowers Everywhere The most rewarding part of this week's photographs is, without question, the flowers. They're becoming more obvious. More structured. More numerous. And increasingly confident. The pistils are still bright and prominent, but the buds themselves are starting to develop that unmistakable flowering architecture. This is the stage where the plant begins to transition visually from: "I have flowering sites." to: "I am building flowers." And Blueberry Muffin is doing exactly that. She's not rushing. She's not exploding upward. She's simply stacking one little piece onto another. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually we'll look back and wonder where all that floral mass came from. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stability Where We Can Control It One thing we're being particularly careful about this week is keeping irrigation and the root environment consistent. The current setup remains around: 💧 1.3 L per plant / 24 hours with the nutrient solution sitting around: 🌡️ 25°C and the substrate/root-zone temperature also around: 🌡️ 25°C These are the variables we can control much more directly than the outside summer temperature. So that's where the focus goes. If the room temperature moves a little because summer decides to remind us who's boss... Fine. We'll work with it. But there's no reason for the root zone, irrigation routine and nutrient delivery to become unstable at the same time. The more variables we can keep consistent, the easier it becomes to understand what the plants are actually telling us. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Don't Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding strategy also remains steady. We're not changing things simply because another week has passed. The plant is healthy. The foliage is beautifully green. The flowers are developing. There are no obvious signs telling me that she needs a dramatic intervention. So we're continuing with the established flowering nutrition: • 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 goal isn't to chase numbers. The goal is to support the plant's current development and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. Sometimes the smartest adjustment... is making no adjustment at all. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Summer Challenge Our environmental target remains as close as possible to last week's conditions. We're currently around: • 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C • 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C • 💧 RH: ~60% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: ~25°C • 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h • ? Pot: 15 L • 📏 Height: ~75 cm Summer makes absolute precision difficult. One day gives us a little more heat. Another day gives us slightly less. The important thing is avoiding unnecessary swings and keeping the things we can control as consistent as possible. And so far... Blueberry Muffin is handling it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ A Compact Plant Has Its Advantages There's another reason I'm enjoying watching this phenotype. Her compact structure means she isn't creating the same vertical management challenges as some of the more vigorous plants in the room. She's occupying her space efficiently. The flowers are distributed across the plant. The canopy remains manageable. And because we're not dealing with an enormous stretch, it's easier to keep the lighting relationship consistent. This is one of those situations where different doesn't necessarily mean better or worse. It's simply... different. And that's exactly what the 8×8 Adventure is supposed to reveal. Twelve genetics. Twelve personalities. Twelve different ways of responding to essentially the same growing environment. Blueberry Muffin's personality continues to be: Compact. Calm. Slow and steady. But increasingly floral. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── ✨ Future of Grow + Lumiflora – Lighting the Way I also want to give another little spotlight to the lighting team this week. The Future of Grow LEDs continue doing their job above the canopy, providing the main source of light for this flowering room. And Lumiflora continues contributing additional photons where the canopy naturally becomes less exposed. I really enjoy seeing the difference this kind of layered lighting strategy can make. Instead of thinking about the plant as a flat surface... We're thinking in three dimensions. Top. Middle. Inside. Lower canopy. Every part has a different relationship with light. And while we can't make every flower receive identical intensity, we can certainly improve how photons are distributed throughout the plant. That's the goal. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better use of the light we have." And when I look at Blueberry Muffin's developing flowers... I think she's making very good use of it. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Observation Is Still the Most Important Tool At this stage, I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. We've built the plant. We've trained her. We've shaped the canopy. We've managed the foliage. We've established the lighting. We've established irrigation. We've established nutrition. Now we're watching. And that's sometimes the hardest part. Doing nothing can feel like you're not doing enough. But plants don't need us to touch them every day. Sometimes they just need: Good light. Water. Nutrition. Roots that can breathe. A stable environment. And time. Blueberry Muffin seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should become increasingly interesting. The plant remains compact, but the flowers are continuing to develop. The canopy is holding together beautifully. The lighting system is providing a strong and layered photon environment. The irrigation remains consistent. The nutrient programme remains stable. And we're simply going to continue watching. Summer may give us a degree here and there. That's okay. We'll do our best to keep everything else steady. Because the objective isn't to create a laboratory where nothing ever changes. The objective is to create an environment where the changes are small enough that we can understand them. And Blueberry Muffin? She's giving us a very clear message. She's not in a hurry. She's building. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let Her Be Herself I think that's probably the biggest lesson Blueberry Muffin is teaching me right now. Not every plant needs to be pushed. Not every phenotype needs to behave the same way. And not every slow-growing plant is a problem waiting to be solved. Sometimes... slow is simply slow. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's compact. And she's doing it all while the rest of the room is sometimes trying to run away from us. 😂 So we're going to respect her personality. We're going to keep the environment as stable as summer allows. We're going to keep the irrigation and root zone consistent. We're going to keep the nutrition steady. And we're going to continue giving her access to plenty of quality photons from the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting systems. Then we'll step back... and watch. Because eventually, that quiet little Blueberry Muffin is going to have her moment. And I think she's going to deserve every bit of the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and document this beautiful phenotype throughout the journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants through this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the main LED lighting powering this room and giving these plants the photons they need to keep building. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about lighting in three dimensions rather than simply from above. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week brings another little observation. Another comparison. Another lesson. And another reason to keep documenting. Blueberry Muffin may be one of the quieter girls in the room... But she's still writing her own story. And this week? She's doing it beautifully. Slow. Compact. Green. And increasingly covered in flowers. ?🌸💚 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

Hello everybody! everything is just great! even there is nothing to say so much everything is good))) I think it's not long left to wait for the harvest .. 2-3 weeks maximum!)

She was always thirsty! She drank almost as much as my 10ft tall plant & she was under 2ft tall?! Handled LST very well. She had an abundance of leaves which looked like a beautiful canna-bush growing but come trim time ugh not so much. Her leaves started turning darker purple the last two weeks, making her even prettier! She was only 14 inches tall (LST) & wound up having 65 bud sites.

All good

Hey, there peeps! Apologies for not updating my diary as I have been quite busy balancing non-plant responsibilities -.-! Anyway, we are now on day 75 since I ordered my equipment and started germinating my seed and day 71 since I placed my seedling in her first Coco pot! She is now a staggering 4 foot 2 - which was overwhelming considering this is my first grow and orginally only cleared out 2/3 of my cuboard but now it uses the whole space but she's coming along so well! I have also added a LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 50W Red COB as I wanted some extra light for the bottom half nuggests. She is very healthy (I assume from the strong healthy roots) and hasnt shown any major defects other then the initial defects i encountered in week 2-3 and slight light burn on the top cola in week 7 which was from the plant growing so quickly and touching the light, but I did then adjust the light within 2-3 hours. What do you guys think and how did she get so tall consdiering she is an auto-flower and the strain is meant to be indica domiant?

Esta semana mostraron sus primeros pistilos. Aprovecho que subió la humedad en el exterior y que mostraron los pistilos para quitar el humidificador , ahora me molesta dentro del armario xd seguimos doblando alguna rama

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything. Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers. Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;))) Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven. Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks. Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;))) Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever. Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ? Happy Growing !

Topped them and started lst

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Stacking up beautiful tons of bud sites added cal-mag her tips are burning. Well check her again in the morning. Did some defoliation as well.

Week 6 of flowering 10/23/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 6 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Defoliated a little. Noticed a PH of 4.8 in runoff, same as the late stage of flower in my previous grow. After lowering feed EC, CalMag on max strength, flushing with 0.8ec nutes for 3 days in a row, nothing changed and PH stayed the same. Read in a forum thread about constant low PH in the rootzone when growing in coco. Got great info about CEC, water, nutrients and little chemistry from a detailed explanation. (https://www.icmag.com/threads/recurring-problem-with-low-ph-in-coco.338385/page-2#post-10843765) Flushed plants with tap water + calmag, PH 6.5. Used 120L total for 4 plants in 2 days. 1st day: flushed after lights on, did not water until 2 hours before lights off and flushed again. Runoff PH went up a little, but not to the correct range. 2nd day: flushed after lights on and checked runoff EC + PH, of each plant. Fortunately, PH got corrected to 5.8, and I returned to automatic watering 4 times a day (with 10%-20% runoff). Thoughts: In the last grow, I thought I had a problem because of salts buildup in the media with constantly low PH in late flower. I didn't fully correct the problem till chop day. Same problem here in the same stage of flower without the salt buildup. After reading every forum I could find about the problem, I understood that my bloom nutes were the main problem because of their chemical composition. The coco ability to exchange ions lead to the low PH in the rootzone. It got worse quickly because I did not use any tap water with the feedings, so the PH could swing easily and drastically without resistance. After I looked online for the T.A. feeding chart, I saw they used TriPart Grow till week 7 of flower, the Nitrogen type they are using will up the PH. CocoForCannabis chart that I'm using, has not enough nitrogen to combat the bloom nutes PH down effect in flower. It gets even worse with RO water because there are no minerals that can resist PH down. Now I'm using 30% tap water with rest RO water, T.A. TriPart feeding chart with calmag and silica. Hopefully I have corrected the problem for the rest of the grow. It wasn't easy, because there were lots of variables that worsened the problem quickly. Now I'm checking runoff PH and EC daily. Update on next week :)

D49 - Today is the first day in the seventh week of veg for #2 and the sixth for #1. It has been a week since I topped the first girl, so I went ahead and topped her for the third and final time. #2 is thriving, and I'm using LST to spread her out while keeping her flat. With the toppings now done, I can install the scrog net soon-ish. As for the thrips, I haven't noticed any additional damage, and hopefully, the mites are doing their thing. I realized, though, that I had one extra package of mites. Instead of waiting for slow release, I went full Rambo by cutting up the package and sprinkling the mites/sawdust all over the girls and soil. I also redirected the airflow to not blow directly on the plants. I'll leave the sawdust there until tomorrow and then brush it off. The slow-release bags are still on the plants, so there isn't much to lose with additional shock-and-awe tactics. DIE THRIPS!!! Finally, I started a compost tea heavy with neem meal, which should help create an inhospitable environment for the thrips. Worst case, I have neem oil, but I don't want to go down that route unless I have to. D53 - I did some additional LST to both girls and removed a few leaves and branches on the underside of #2. I also cut back the cover crop and gave each girl 2.5-liters of water @ pH 6.3. D55 - I gave both girls around 2.5-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5. The first girl has bounced back strong after her final topping, and in a few days, it will be time to flip, but I need to do one last defoliation before that. Sorry about the porn-light pics. I was a bit late, and my lights had already gone into sunset mode.

Most of this week I was away so the tent was on autopilot. When i got back i was pleased to see all 4 strains where still around the same on development with this one perhaps being slightly further on then the others. The Ams supreme is the smaller of the 2 AMS autos. She is starting to throw out some nice colours now. I'm confident this one is going to hit my 13 weeks scheduled for it, so not long left. Notes Day 64 nothing away Day 65 autofeed last weeks nutes Day 66 Got back, everything's fine Day 67 manually water Day 68 light strength from 75% to 87% PPFD was 458 Dli was 29.7 now its 544Ppfd 41.1Dli. Day 69 autofeed this weeks nutes Day 70 553Ppfd 35.3Dli Back in a week Take it easy.

Responding really well to the 3 tier stacked pots. Started on veg nutrients. filling out nicely. She is showing signs of flower Apr 13
