GORILLA COOKIES 🍪 FF / FASTBUDS WEEK #12 FLOWER WEEK #4 FLOWER This has been another good week for this lady her buds are getting bigger with decent trichomes coverage! Stay Growing!! Gorilla Cookies FF / FASTBUDS

2/28 - she got a feeding and I removed the shoots starting at each bottom node on every top. 6.0ph 3/3 - I took off the leaves that were at the nodes where I removed the shoots earlier this week. Now onto gaining height. Looking tight! 3/5 - Flush feeding

This strain gave us no problems, very simple to grow! The plants both stayed small and bushy until flower, then they took off. We will be back to adjust the weight and add more comments. 8/14/21 - The buds are done curing and it’s 🔥 Smooth and flavorful 💨 We finally smoked it and couldn’t finish a joint lol. It’s a lot stronger than we anticipated. I love indica strains and this is now one of my favorites. Next up we have 2 Lemon Kush and 2 Gelato growing outdoors as a side project in between indoor LED grows. Blueberry from seedsman was so simple to grow. We messed up on a few things but we got plenty of nice buds and made 2lbs of butter for edibles. -FIN-

watered on day 1Have to add calmag in the next watering . Had to end this grow since the silver haze started herming hard and I have no other dry space than my tent I decided to call it a day and finished this grow with a heavy hard. This run ended to fast . I’ll add some later but in general very unlucky for the orange bud and sad this usually stable genetic Hermed

-Sensi Seeds Research: The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #11, week #3 of Flowering, flowers opening stage is doing well, white hairs spotted everywhere. It’s also the, week 3 trimming, week where you must clean your legs from all the lowers shoots. Technically everything under the trellis must go away ( see on pictures and video ). This is why I recommend to smash your plants under the trellis (see previous weeks, in week 8) to avoid growing long legs. The plants won’t waste any energy on the bottom, everything will be sent to the top, and it creates an airflow under the canopy ( you can add a small desktop fan ) to avoid any mold due to high RH as they are going to start to drink like maniacs in a week or two and to evaporate all this water. Last week of Veg nutrients to finish the stretch with no deficiency, will switch to Bloom nutrients next week. Adding 1gr/plants of Bactrex (Trichoderma) mixed with the solution. Looking the plants, I feel like it’s gonna turn into a big bad bud factory 😎 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞)

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | This Girl Really Is on Fire 🔥💜👑 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I'm going to say it again. This girl is moving. 🔥💜 And not just moving... she's MOVING. 😂 Every time I look at Purple Haze Pheno A, I get the feeling that she's quietly decided: "Alright, enough waiting. Let's get this show on the road." 😂🔥👑 Now, before anybody gets too excited... let's make something very clear. She is still FAR, FAR from the end. We're not calling her finished. We're not calling her close to harvest. We're not making any predictions about where this ends. But... when I compare her with where she was just one week ago? The difference is there. The flower development is progressing. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The buds are gaining presence. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the whole plant is simply moving at her own very impressive rhythm. Fast. Very fast. So this week... let's turn the spotlight up. Because Purple Haze Pheno A has absolutely earned it. 💜🔥👑 ──────────────────────── 🔥 THIS GIRL IS REALLY ON FIRE ──────────────────────── Last week I said: "This girl is on fire." I'm not taking it back. 😂🔥 If anything... I need to turn the volume up. Because this week she has continued exactly where she left off. And that's what makes the progression so interesting. We're not looking at a plant that suddenly changed overnight. We're looking at a plant that is consistently moving forward... and doing it quickly. Week after week. Flower after flower. Layer after layer. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. And when you look at her now, you can really see that momentum. There's a difference between a plant simply being in flower... and a plant that looks like it's actively building its flowering structure. Purple Haze Pheno A is definitely giving me the second feeling. She's working. 😂🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE MOVING ──────────────────────── This is the part that's catching my attention the most. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. They're developing more structure. They're beginning to look fuller. And those flowering sites are no longer simply little points scattered through the plant. They're becoming increasingly obvious parts of the overall architecture. And when I compare her with the previous update... I can see the progression. That's what I love about keeping these weekly diaries. Sometimes you think: "Nothing dramatic happened this week." Then you put last week's photograph beside this week's... and suddenly: "Oh..." 😂 Actually... quite a lot happened. The plant simply did it gradually. And Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming one of those girls where the week-to-week comparison is particularly satisfying. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE FROST IS KEEPING UP ──────────────────────── And then we have the trichomes. 💎💎💎 The frost continues to become more noticeable as the flowers develop. This is another part of her evolution that makes me want to grab the camera. Because once the flowers start developing that little sparkle... you know you're entering one of the most visually rewarding parts of the journey. You look at her from across the room and see flowers. You move closer and see frost. You move even closer... and suddenly you're looking at an entire microscopic landscape. 😂🔬💎 That's what makes macro photography so addictive. And this girl? She's giving us plenty to photograph. The resin isn't the whole story. But it's certainly becoming a very beautiful part of it. ──────────────────────── 💜 THE COLOUR STILL SPEAKS FOR ITSELF ──────────────────────── And of course... I can't talk about Purple Haze without mentioning her colour. That deep green remains one of the strongest visual characteristics of this phenotype. The foliage continues to give her that rich appearance, while the developing flowers create beautiful contrast throughout the plant. She's got a very distinctive look. You can see her structure. You can see the flower development. You can see the resin. And you can see that beautiful green. Everything is starting to come together. And I think that's why she's becoming so easy to recognize. She's developing her own signature. 💜🌿 ──────────────────────── 🚀 HER RHYTHM IS FAST ──────────────────────── This is really the theme of this week's report. Her rhythm. Because I don't want to say that she's "ahead" of every other plant. That's not what this is about. Plants don't have to race each other. And we're still very far from the finish line. But compared with her own previous development? She's moving quickly. That's the important part. We're watching HER progression. And her progression is fast. She's not sitting there waiting. She's not slowly wondering whether she wants to flower. She's clearly in the process of building. And she appears to be doing it with a lot of momentum. 😂🔥 It's almost like somebody pressed the fast-forward button. But I'm pretty sure nobody did. She's simply being Purple Haze Pheno A. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── And this is where the 8×8 Adventure becomes really interesting. Because nothing special was created for this girl. She's still in the same room. Same environment. Same general irrigation strategy. Same nutrition foundation. Same lighting system. Same 12/12 schedule. Same overall conditions. And yet... she's expressing herself differently. That's genetics. The room provides the environment. The plant interprets it. And Purple Haze Pheno A seems to be saying: "Thank you very much. I'll take all those photons and get to work." 😂💡💜 And that's exactly what we're watching. The same light enters the room. Different plants respond differently. Some build differently. Some stretch differently. Some flower differently. Some take longer. Some move faster. And this girl? She's definitely one of the faster-moving personalities in this room. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS – MORE CAPABILITY ──────────────────────── The lighting setup remains the upgraded system we've been using throughout the room. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are now part of the lighting environment. We initially had more available intensity than we wanted to run, so we reduced the output. We're now around: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing intensity depending on plant height and position. And I really like this approach. We're not trying to run the fixtures flat out. We're creating lighting capacity. Then we're controlling it. That gives us flexibility without unnecessarily pushing the equipment or using more electricity simply because we can. And Purple Haze? She's certainly making use of what she's receiving. 💡🌿💜 ──────────────────────── 🌿 A THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTON CATCHER ──────────────────────── When you look closely at her structure, you can really appreciate how three-dimensional the canopy is. Leaves occupy different heights. Branches move through different spaces. Flowers develop at different angles. And photons interact with all of it. Some are intercepted immediately. Some travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some pass through gaps. And the additional Lumiflora lighting helps bring useful illumination into those deeper and lower areas. It's not simply: "Put more light on the top." It's about understanding that a plant is not a flat surface. It's a living, three-dimensional structure. And Purple Haze Pheno A has created a beautiful structure for those photons to interact with. ☀️🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 STACKING – AND THEN MORE STACKING ──────────────────────── I think this deserves its own section. Because... wow. 😂🌸🔥 The stacking continues to become more obvious. The flowers are building on one another. The structures are becoming more substantial. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly dense. This is the kind of progression where you can look at the plant and almost see the architecture changing in front of you. One flower develops. Then another. Then the surrounding structures become more pronounced. And suddenly the whole branch starts looking different. That's what we're watching now. Not the final product. Not the finish line. Just the plant building. Layer by layer. Week by week. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 📏 STILL COMPACT – STILL MAKING HER SPACE COUNT ──────────────────────── At around 120 cm, she's not one of the tallest girls in the room. And honestly? She doesn't need to be. She's making excellent use of the space she has. She's not trying to win the height competition. She's building within her own architecture. That's something I really appreciate about her. She's compact enough to maintain that substantial flowering structure while still having plenty of space for the flowers to develop. She doesn't need another 30 centimetres of height to make an impression. She already has one. 😂💜👑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ FEEDING – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional update is the same as the rest of the room this week. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values are approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again, we're not creating a special feeding programme just because she's moving quickly. We're watching the plant. We're watching her development. We're keeping the room consistent. And she's responding beautifully. The important thing is that we're not confusing "fast development" with "rush everything." 😂 She's moving at her own pace. We're simply supporting the environment around her. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains stable around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same conditions. Same general strategy. Different expression. And that last part is really the entire point. ──────────────────────── 🌿 WE'RE STILL NOT RUSHING HER ──────────────────────── Now... because I keep saying she's moving fast, I want to make one thing very clear. Fast compared with her own previous progression... doesn't mean we're suddenly at the end. We're not. Not even close. 😂 There is still plenty of flowering development ahead. The flowers can continue building. The resin can continue developing. The structure can continue changing. And the plant can continue maturing. So I'm not looking at her thinking: "She's almost finished." I'm looking at her thinking: "Wow... look how quickly she's progressing." There's a big difference. And that's the exciting part. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA HAS A LOT TO WATCH ──────────────────────── This is exactly the stage where I want to keep photographing her. Because when a plant is moving quickly, the weekly photographs become even more valuable. They create a visual timeline. Week 9. Week 10. Week 11. And suddenly you can see the story. The flowers become larger. The structures become denser. The frost becomes more obvious. The plant starts looking more mature. And you can actually watch the transformation. That's what these diaries are about. Not just showing you a beautiful plant... but showing you how she became that plant. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us a beautiful story to document. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE CROWN IS GETTING HOT ──────────────────────── I'm starting to feel like we need a larger crown budget in this room. 😂👑 Every week another girl walks into the spotlight. And now Purple Haze is basically standing there with flames coming out of her flowers. 🔥💜😂 But again... I'm not declaring any winners. Every phenotype has something special. That's the whole point. One plant might have incredible structure. Another might have incredible colour. Another might have unusual flower formation. Another might have an amazing aroma. Another might be incredibly compact. And Purple Haze Pheno A? She's giving us: 💜 Beautiful colour 🌸 Strong flower development 🔥 Fast progression 💎 Increasing resin 🌿 Compact structure 👑 Serious personality That's a pretty strong combination. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── My questions for her have changed again. I'm no longer asking: "Is she going to flower?" She's answered that. I'm not asking: "Is she developing?" She's answered that too. Now I'm watching: 🌸 How much more will these flowers build? 💎 How much more resin will she develop? 🌿 How much denser will the structure become? 💜 How will her colour evolve? 🔥 And how long can she keep this pace? That's the fun part. We don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. Because the plant gets to answer those questions for us. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – KEEP THE FIRE BURNING ──────────────────────── Week 11. And Purple Haze Pheno A? Still on fire. 🔥💜👑 If anything... even more so. Compared with the previous update, this girl is clearly moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is fast. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. The colour remains beautiful. The plant is maintaining that compact, balanced structure. And everything is starting to come together. But we're still far from the end. That's important. This isn't a finish-line report. It's a progress report. And what a progress report it is. 😂🔥 Same room. Same environment. Same photons. Same lighting strategy. Same nutrition. Same 12/12. Different genetic response. That's the magic. The room gives her the tools. Purple Haze Pheno A decides what to build with them. And right now... she's building something beautiful. 💜🌿🌸💎🔥 So let's give her the shout she deserves. Let's turn up the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the camera ready. And let's watch this girl continue to do what she clearly wants to do. Move. Build. Stack. Frost. Grow. And shine. 🔥💜👑 She's still got a long road ahead. But if this is the pace she's choosing... I'm very excited to watch the rest of the journey unfold. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch the girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure keeps showing us the same thing over and over again: Give different genetics a shared environment... and they will tell you very different stories. And Purple Haze Pheno A? Her story right now is moving fast. 🔥💜 She's not finished. She's not even close. But she's building. She's stacking. She's frosting. She's developing. And she's doing it at her own very impressive rhythm. So... let the girl shine. 👑💜🔥 Let's see how much more she can build. Let's see how the flowers continue to evolve. And let's keep watching this beautiful girl burn her way through another week of the 8×8 Adventure. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 And remember... don't blink. Purple Haze Pheno A is moving. 😂🔥💜👑

Week 9 started yesterday, Aug. 1. Gave them their final trim last night. Definitely 2-3 more weeks of veg. I'm still so pumped to have gotten this far and other than my clones, they are looking so good and healthy. I definitely have a good feeling. Happy Monday everyone and as always, happy growing ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: Aug. 3rd...going great! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: Aug. 5th and still going great! They are getting super bushy. I'll have to trim some lower leaves on Banner but that's it. Banner is a little shorter than Sky but that's ok lightwise! I could only imagine how big they would be by now if I either went natural or just topped, lol. I'm thinking about 5'. Would have been great outdoors if I could trust people to stay in their own yards at night! Anyways, I'm super pumped for the flip, which is very soon 😎 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Buds are developing nicely😁 and the ladies are already quite odoriferous lol big word for the day. Everything looking good. Fed 2 gal each (more for the big headband(5) and the skywalker (3)) at 1100 ppm...5.9 ph and they seemed to love it. Next feeding ill prolly push it to round 2.5 gal at 1250-1300 ppm...5.8-6.5 ph. The mutant alaskan is annoyin the hell out of me. I got 6 and they all have atleast a few twisted multicolored leaves but nothin like the one in the pic. Growth is stunted but its still hanging in there. Who know maybe itll grow sum mutant fire.

After 2 weeks I chose my favorite plant of the three and prepared her for the Autopot. Now she needs to root this pot for another 2 weeks before we can turn on the Aqua Valve and the tank. DLI 30

We're moving right along on this grow! Buds are really filling out and they are covered in resin. The smell is of sweet candy and grapes. Can definetly tell she's going to be pungent! Still water every other day or so ph'd 6.8 to 6.5. Completely stopped feeding 2 weeks ago. So going with a 5 week flush before harvest. Again, I went all organic. As you can see the fan leaves are beginning to yellow as well and I went ahead and raised the light just incase they are getting some light burn. Thanks for tuning in🤙

12/06: joyeuse saint Nicolas 🤗😇😎. Dernier rempote effectuer hier sans accrocs, merci les Trichodermas ;). Dernière semaine de veg. Je vais encore attendre 2 à 3 jours et je LST et fixe un filet pour aider les plants à diriger et supporter le futur poids de leurs fruits/fleurs...

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Apple Fritter de RoyalQueenSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte de prietas se ven bien resinosas. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Así finalizamos nuestra segunda semana de floración, están preciosas 😍🍀💫 🏆

flush!

thank you all for checking out my grow.
