Green crack had a good week of growth but is still so tiny in comparison to the others. I bent her over to try and get some more bud arms happening. Gave her a flush and looking forward to the stretch and trying to get a decent smoke off it

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 5 | The Giant Begins to Wear Her Crown Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite things about documenting every single phenotype individually is watching how differently each plant interprets exactly the same environment. Same room. Same lighting. Same feeding philosophy. Same genetics. Yet every plant develops her own personality. Godfather OG Pheno A has quickly established herself as one of the giants inside the tent, standing proudly above many of her neighbours while beginning the exciting transition into flowering. She’s becoming impossible to ignore. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For those discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than extending the vegetative period before changing the light cycle, every plant has received a consistent 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very first day of life. This allows every phenotype to determine its own natural timing. Instead of deciding when flowering begins… …the plants decide for themselves. That is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire experiment. Although every plant shares the same environment, no two stories have unfolded exactly the same. ⸻ 🌸 The Transition Has Begun This week officially marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower. She’s living in that beautiful transition where vegetative growth hasn’t completely stopped, but flowering has clearly taken over. Fresh white pistils are now appearing throughout the canopy, confirming that reproductive growth is well underway. Those delicate white hairs are the first visible signs of future flowers. Over the coming weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each flowering site develops into what we all hope will become dense, resin-covered colas. It’s one of the most exciting stages of the entire grow. Every day brings noticeable changes. ⸻ 🌿 One of the Giants of the Room Standing at approximately 75 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has become one of the tallest plants in this entire project. Her structure is beautifully balanced. Strong stems. Excellent internodal spacing. Healthy branching. The Low Stress Training carried out during the previous weeks is now beginning to reveal its purpose. By gently bending stems and opening the canopy instead of forcing aggressive structural changes, light is reaching more growing tips while the plant continues developing naturally. Every adjustment made earlier is now beginning to pay dividends. Sometimes patience truly is the best training technique. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Feeding System This phenotype is growing in one of my AutoPot systems. The AutoPot works through a remarkably simple but effective device called the AquaValve. Rather than operating on timers or pumps, the AquaValve automatically refills the tray only after the plant has consumed the available nutrient solution. In other words… The plant decides when she wants another drink. This creates an incredibly stable root environment while reducing fluctuations in moisture and nutrient availability. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also evolved to support the transition. Bloom nutrients have now joined the schedule while maintaining enough vegetative support to fuel the final stretch before the plant focuses entirely on flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues performing exactly as planned. Current averages include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly elevated during this stretch phase to support vigorous growth and healthy transpiration. As flowers begin stacking over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for dense, healthy blooms. Maintaining environmental stability is every bit as important as feeding the plants themselves. Healthy plants are built through consistency. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document her progress from multiple perspectives. Close-up shots highlight the first pistils emerging across the growing tips. Side views reveal her impressive vertical growth and balanced branching. Bird’s-eye views showcase an increasingly even canopy thanks to the weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with controller readings to continue documenting every aspect of this project as accurately as possible. Watching the room evolve week after week is becoming just as rewarding as watching the individual plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More white pistils should appear across every branch, and the first true flower clusters will begin forming as the plant shifts more energy toward reproduction. Training will remain gentle, with only small adjustments made where necessary to maintain an open canopy and maximize light penetration. The real building phase is only just beginning… …and I have a feeling this lady has plenty more to show us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary, every photograph, every update is part of a much bigger story, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of it.

I’ll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues her journey from vigorous growth into what promises to be a spectacular flowering run. Growers love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

2024-09-07 This was a very effective Week, it started with Rain an Wind then it turned over to very hot and sunny exactly what we need here. The Outdoor tangie still looks super fresh and green, only minor signs of getting ready the colas are very glitery and you see alot of potential already super frostyhere. the revegetating Plant looks fine too. she produces some flowers.too.

It was also the last week for Bubblegum, who had some problems at the beginning and therefore took longer than the others. At the beginning of the week, she was given a thorough flush, then left to dry, and at the end of the week, she was given the usual two days of darkness. Despite the difficulties at the start, it was a very good result.

Week 10 - Second Week of Flowering 🌸 As week two of flowering begins, the garden’s growth is unstoppable! These ladies are thriving, stretching up while staying beautifully vibrant and green. Every inch of this tent is optimized—each plant is soaking up light, nutrients, and water precisely as they need, filling the room with energy. Room Conditions 🌡️ • Temperature: 27.3°C • Humidity: 62.6% • CO₂ Levels: 800 ppm • VPD: 1.36 kPa (excellent range for robust flowering) • Lighting Intensity: 818 PPFD Solution & Medium 💧 • Solution Temp: 21.5°C | TDS: 470 ppm | pH: 6.02 • Medium: Moisture 100% (recently dried to 67%), TDS 510 ppm, Temp 22.5°C The “dry-out” to 67% was a strategic move, helping boost nutrient uptake and root strength. Meanwhile, our slight increase in reds seems to be having the desired effect, nudging these ladies further along in the flowering process. Eye Safety & LED Lighting 🌞🕶️ With powerful LED systems like the ThinkGrow and ICL-300, eye protection is critical. LED grow lights emit high-intensity light across the full spectrum, including intense UV and infrared components that are not easily detected by the human eye. Long-term exposure without adequate protection can lead to eye strain, and in extreme cases, damage to vision. • Blue Light Hazard: LEDs often have elevated levels of blue light, which can harm the retina over time if proper precautions aren’t taken. • UV Protection: Even low doses of UV can accumulate and harm eyes, so grow glasses with UV protection are essential for any indoor gardener. Investing in quality grow room glasses can help protect from glare, UV, and infrared rays, making plant care safer and more comfortable. Lighting Enhancements: ICL-300 In-Depth 🔆 The ICL-300 is our newest addition, specifically designed for inner canopy illumination. This LED offers a targeted light boost under the canopy, enhancing flower growth in lower and shaded areas—ideal for maximizing yield and light efficiency. • Dual Spectrum Technology: The ICL-300 provides a custom spectrum designed to penetrate deeper into the plant canopy, promoting robust bud formation throughout. • Enhanced Light Distribution: With strategically positioned diodes, the ICL-300 reduces shadowing and balances light distribution to all parts of the plant. • Energy Efficiency & Heat Management: This light is designed to be energy-efficient, running cooler and reducing the risk of heat stress within the grow space. The inner canopy light gives the plants exactly what they need, particularly during the flower stage when bud sites deep in the canopy can benefit from more direct exposure. However, after noticing slight leaf burn on some plants, I’ll hold off a bit longer before fully integrating this light to ensure optimal adjustment. Looking Forward 🌟 As we continue dialing in conditions, it’s all about balance, precision, and taking proactive steps to optimize every aspect of the grow environment. We’ll keep a close watch on the canopy height, and next week, I’ll aim to fine-tune the light integration even further with the ICL-300. P.S. - ICL-300 and CO₂ Sensor 🌱 The TrolMaster CO₂ Sensor (MBS-S8) has been crucial for real-time CO₂ adjustments, ensuring the plants get exactly what they need without constant monitoring. Combined with the ICL-300’s spectrum flexibility, these tools make an unbeatable setup, allowing for nuanced control over plant growth and development. As always, a huge thanks to the Grow Fam for the tips, support, and enthusiasm! I’m excited to see what these next weeks will bring as these plants reach their full flowering potential.

I never thought I'd say it but i think when it comes to my indoor C4 vs my outdoor C4 Indoor takes the prize, I mean that's only for now lets see what happens in the upcoming weeks. I'm sticking to my bat turd mix and all sun, I shift her around during the heavy showers, yea it rains out here. I don't feed no store bought nutrients all from nature same goes for my indoor ... if you look closely you'll see that I lst her it's only because of her mutation.

Hey Cannafam, Ahhhh Britiah summertime has come back this week which means rain, shes had a few days of it this week including today and humidity is nearly at 100%. 🤐 Theres more rain next week with some dry periods but its not looking great weather wise, esentially im worried about this gal rotting like my previous attempts and if that happens i will not only cry but there will also be emotional outbursts! Shes had one feed this week ive been shaking her each time after the rain stops. Buds are building slowly and that moody nearly black beautiful purple is spreading up her main column 💜 Ive been praying to which ever diety is in charge of purple buds as im gonna need an element of luck for deliverance 🤞🤞🤞 Thats all from me for now, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

Flipped to 12/12 today at day 52. Defoliated alot and pinched almost every top. Lets see how much they stretch. Another defoliation in 2 weeks , will also topdress then.

So WeedSeedsExpress was kind enough to supply me with there Auto-NL. A strain that always lands in the tent every few cycles as its one of my favourite classics. I have grown out a few breeders strains of NL but never ran an Auto version of it so something new in it for myself. a little video of the packing which i thought was quite cool in an old school style cut out booklet. We are a week in, Sorry for lack of photos i ended up having a bit of a rush at time. I germinated 5 and all 5 germed and sprouted but lost one due to an accident in the tent. Just running on some plain water and superthrive for now. These have grown perfectly fine.

they are growing excellent right now outdoors ... and from now on I will put the wvoluxion dw my 2 purple afgham kush that have the same date of germination ...

So 2 week update since last. They were transplanted on week 4. Then Ive been still playing around and dialing in the calmag portion of the nutrients. They seem to be responding well. got the net installed today and theyre already stretching. First grow in coco please dont come at me im learning. hoping to have it dialed in within a week or 2 since I need to flip soon.

QUE CAMBIO EN 10 DIAS IMPRESIONANTE, ESTAN ENGORDANDO MUY BIEN, ME HAN SORPENDIDO ESTE CAMBIO TAN GRANDE ESTAN BEBIENDO CADA 2 DIAS CONSUMEN MUCHOS NUTRIENTES PERO ES PORQUE HAY MUCHO FRUTO QUE ALIMENTAR ESTOY REGANDO CON 2 LITROS CADA PLANTA CADA 2 DIAS EC 1850 PH 6,6

I'm getting impatient now. Gave her a light P burn with a extra feed of PK at the end of last week and have dropped Boost entirely. Fade came on faster than expected but I think that's the Boost making her hungry, leaving no doubt in my mind it's a PGR. Dammit. Two more weeks??

Dos semanas de vida para esta plántula, de momento tiene un crecimiento normal, las raíces ya sobresalen por la base buscando sustrato. La semana que viene la trasplanto a una maceta intermedia para continuar desarrollando un potente sistema radicular que me asegure un crecimiento vigoroso durante todo el cultivo. El sustrato del recipiente está especialmente preparado para potenciar el desarrollo radicular, debido a componentes como: Microorganismos sólidos (MMS), Bio Carbón activado con MM, auxinas, micorrizas y la técnica del encapsulado inferior para favorecer el desarrollo vertical de las raíces. Como detecté algún bicho en otra planta aplique diatomeas en polvo, de ahí algunas manchas blancas en las hojas y Neem como foliar, el bicho is dead!! Mantengo húmedo el sustrato con pequeños aportes de nutrientes como: ácidos húmicos, MMA, Miel, Melaza u ormus, el ph lo controlo con vinagre blanco de manzana que ayuda también al enraizamiento, el EC promedio de esta semana es de EC: 0.75. GROWING TIP: Agua!! Mineralizada, viva y estructurada. La importancia de la calidad del agua para el cultivo es vital para mi, he recorrido los manantiales, ríos y arroyos de mi zona con el medidor de EC y el de PH para conocer las aguas que me rodean, recojo siempre que hay oportunidad agua de lluvia de la terraza de un vecino, nunca me falta agua pura, desecho regar con agua del grifo. Para mi, y actualmente, la mejor mezcla de agua que puedo ofrecer a mis plantas es agua de lluvia 75% con otra de un manantial de montaña de agua alcalina (Carbonato cálcico PH: 9.2) y muy mineralizada (EC: 0.85), esta agua yo mismo la consumo regularmente, consigo una mezcla de agua pura con un EC alrededor de 0.19, me garantizo así el aporte de calcio y otros minerales. En épocas donde no llueve uso agua pura de manantiales y arroyos con EC de 0.3. Estas aguas las filtro y almaceno a obscuras en mi casa, la cuestión es que el agua parada pierde oxígeno y también desordena su estructura molecular haciéndola caótica. Para poder recuperar esta estructura y oxigenación el agua debe estar en movimiento como en la naturaleza, yo me ayudo de un agitador magnético para volver a tener agua viva, el agitador crea un vórtice implosivo que en 10 minutos pone las cosas en su sitio y carga de oxígeno nuestra agua, una vez hecho este proceso voy añadiendo los nutrientes uno a uno y sigo agitando hasta el final. El agua tratada con esta técnica, mejora la asimilación de nutrientes, el intercambio catiónico e inunda de oxígeno nuestro sustrato y raíces, también con esta técnica se pueden bajar las concentraciones normales de EC en un 30% y conseguir los mismos resultados, prueba y verás!! Saludos!! Hasta la próxima.

We're beyond excited to try out this new MarsHydro LED for our latest grow, the SP-3000 is INCREDIBLY bright!! ..I have never seen a light more appropriate for a 4x2 tent in my life, we (happily) replaced 3 "600 watt" blurple LEDs with this single rig ( something we've wanted for a very long time). There should be no issue achieving perfect coverage, corner to corner with this light. Its been years since we've flowered under LED ( and never one of this quality), we're a little bias towards HID/CMH, especially my hubby but I think this might just be the LED that changes our mind! We'll be growing Gelat OG Auto by Seedsman (we've heard amazing things) for our first grow under the SP-3000, all plants in 5gl fabric pots, Promix-B (25% perlite) on a 20/4hr cycle. We're starting with 4 plants but if they become unmanageable, we'll move one or 2 of the plants to another tent. We use a glass of water and a paper towel as our germination method. We soak seeds roughly 24hrs and then in a wet paper towel for another 12-24hrs, we average roughly a 90% success rate doing it this way... Thank you for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total) Driver: Meanwell 300watt 🔌 (300W±5% @AC120V-277V) PPF: 824umol/S ☢️ PPE: 2.8 µmol/j 〰️〰️ Lifespan: >50k hrs ⌛ Veg Coverage: 3 x 5 ft 🌱 Flowering Coverage: 2 x 4 ft 🌼 Weight: 10.1 lbs (4.6kg) -No-fan design: the SP-3000 uses an aluminum heatsink, and the driver can be removed then placed outside the tent🌡️⬇️ -IP65 waterproof ratings, tolerant to high humidity grow environments 💦 .. -Up to 30 of these lights can be daisy-chained together and controlled from a single light! 💡~💡~💡~💡~💡 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 10/10/21 🤘😺 100% germination!!

Le he hecho una aplical en el tercer nudo y le he hecho una defoliación

5 août : jour 74 flo+26 : J’entame la 4 eme semaine Problème j ai des feuille super foncé et brillante on dirais du plastique je ne comprend pas , j ai vue une ou deux brûlure je pense à une sur fertilisation . j’ai réduit les nutriments par litre en espérant que c’est pas trop .. Je ne savais pas si arroser à l eau clair était une bonne idée à cause de la fluctuation de PH entre l eau clair et l eau avec nutriments ( je n est pas de ph up que du Down ) - les feuilles était un peu tombante .. je pense que j avais pas arroser à temps et que Nous étions sur un sous arrosage ? J ai arroser et j irais voir demain si les feuilles Sont redressé 🤞🏼 Hésité pas à m éclairer sur les feuille qui brille en mode plastique . 9 août : jour 78 , flo +30 ( photos suivante ) Les feuilles sont relevé c’était donc ça . Encore un peu brillante j’ai diminué les dose de fertilisant . Mais je trouve qu’il fais super chaud dans la tente avec les températures extérieurs à 40•C j ai des températures dans ma box à 36... malgres extracteur est ventilo j’espère que ça ne va pas les brûler elle sont si belle

Nach der neunten Blütewoche, läuft aktuell nur noch der Ausreifungsprozess. Die Blütenbildung hat sich prächtig und sehr voluminös entwickelt. Nach dem Trichomcheck, ist nun alles milchig, allerdings hat die gute eine sehr ausgeprägte Blütephase, was definitiv für eine Sativa Dominanz spricht. Die Blätter im oberen Bereich legen an Verfärbungen zu und die unteren sterben allmählich ab. Das Aroma wird immer intensiver und lässt ein sehr undefinierbares Aroma verströhmen. Es ist weder Süß noch Erdig. Harzig nach Cannabis ja aber ohne klassische Aromagebung. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aufgrund des regnerischen Wetters etwas unregelmäßig aber gerade wieder Top. ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 19°C bis 20°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,98kPa 😎 PPFD: 830 mqm ————— Grüne Grüße 💚
