It was an easy harvest as the colas developed nicely. Hardly any popcorn nugs and very little sugar leaves. If the weather had allowed it, I think she could have grown even bigger, but I'm more than happy with the outcome!

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet. Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6. (Here are my notes of the 6th Week) 30th September 2020 ( 11cm in height ) The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds. (Notes Done) So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19) I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

More calm this week, not a lot of people mention on here that the work load reduces a couple weeks after the big stretch. Not had to do too much except a little bending as she’s still getting a bit too close to the lights again. Most of the fan leaves are off now, that I can reach that is. No more reservoir changes now until it gets the chop, as my nutrients stay fairly consistent for the next 3-5 weeks. At around 950 TDS @ 0.5 or 1900 PPM. Still no nutrient deficiencies, the longest stretch I have gone without at least some spots or marks on leaves. Would be interested to know what you guys think she might yield now she’s just about into her 5th week of flower?

Week 16 – Veg Phase This week marks week sixteen of vegetative growth, and things are staying right on track. The plant has been growing steadily with thick, vibrant foliage and a solid structure. She’s filling out nicely, with short internodes and a rich green color that shows she’s perfectly dialed in. I’m still unsure whether I’ll top her or just let her grow naturally. It’ll depend on how she stretches in the next few days, but either way, she’s responding beautifully to her environment. The pH remains stable between 5.9 and 6.0, and the environmental conditions haven’t changed — temperature and humidity are holding steady. No signs of stress or deficiency, and the overall growth rate is consistent. She’s starting to take up a bit more space, which means she’s getting close to the tent’s limits. If I decide to top her, that’ll help manage her height and open up the canopy for better light penetration. For now, I’m keeping the same routine — steady feeding, balanced environment, and daily observation. The plant looks strong, healthy, and well-balanced as she heads toward the next phase. That wraps up this week’s update. Next step: final decision on topping and preparing for preflower.

Yesterday she was cut, run off ppms had been at zero for at least 4 days. For what this plant went through in terms of heat and humidity, I believe the outcome of roughly a kg wet is not too bad. Bud have a certain density to them but far away from what I prefer. However the presents of an abundance of Reepes is undeniable. ATM she smells very sweet with a hint of Creme and a bit of pine. She must be quite mold resistant, as the other plant in the tent with her was quite mold riddled and the Afghan didn’t catch anything in that tiny growspace.

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 7 | Reaching for the Sky Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I enjoy most about this project is seeing just how differently genetics express themselves when every plant shares exactly the same environment. Every phenotype receives the same light. The same nutrients. The same temperatures and humidity. The same care. And yet... Every single one chooses her own path. Godfather OG Pheno A has clearly decided that her path is upward. At approximately 166 cm tall, she has become one of the tallest ladies in the room, stretching confidently above much of the canopy while maintaining an elegant structure that seems almost effortless. She's becoming difficult to ignore. 🌱 One Garden, Twelve Different Stories For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is an experiment in growing twelve different cultivars using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of giving the plants a traditional vegetative period, every seed was placed under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle from the very beginning. The result is something I absolutely love watching. Every phenotype writes its own story. Some remain compact. Some focus on branching. Others build flowers early. And then there are plants like Godfather OG Pheno A... ...whose first instinct seems to be reaching for the lights before settling down to build flowers. It's a perfect reminder that genetics will always have the final word. 👑 Chasing the Ceiling This week she continued doing exactly what she's been doing since flowering began... Stretching. And she's doing it beautifully. Despite her impressive height, the internodal spacing remains excellent, giving every future flower plenty of room to develop while allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. Rather than becoming lanky or unbalanced, she carries herself with remarkable elegance. Every branch appears purposeful. Every node seems perfectly placed. Watching her grow feels less like managing a plant and more like watching architecture slowly build itself. 🍃 A Picture of Health If I had to describe this phenotype in one word this week... Healthy. The foliage carries a rich, vibrant green colour from top to bottom. The leaves are perfectly formed, reaching confidently toward the light without any signs of stress. The stems remain thick and sturdy, easily supporting the rapid vertical growth. Sometimes the healthiest plants aren't the ones screaming for attention. They're simply the ones that quietly look perfect day after day. Godfather OG Pheno A is quickly becoming one of those plants. 🌸 Flowers Beginning to Take Shape The stretch may still be continuing, but flowering is becoming more obvious with every passing day. Fresh white pistils continue appearing across every branch, and the individual flower sites are beginning to develop into recognizable bud formations. They're still early. Still delicate. Still building their foundations. But the framework is now clearly visible. The coming weeks should see these small clusters begin merging together into longer, fuller colas as the plant gradually shifts more of her energy away from vertical growth and toward flower production. 🌿 Letting Genetics Lead One of the things I've learned over the years is that not every vigorous plant needs constant intervention. Sometimes the smartest decision is simply getting out of the way. Only minimal adjustments continue this week. A little leaf tucking. The occasional branch repositioning. Nothing more. Her natural structure is already doing an outstanding job of distributing light throughout the canopy, and I don't see any reason to fight what her genetics are naturally trying to accomplish. Sometimes nature really does know best. 🍽️ Feeding the Entire Room As with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure, nutrition is shared across the entire reservoir, each phenotype receives the exact same nutrient solution hand feeding or autopot. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required The increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom wasn't made specifically for this plant but for the entire room, as all twelve ladies continue moving deeper into flowering together. Even though every phenotype responds differently, they all share the same table. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Maintaining consistency remains one of the biggest priorities throughout this grow. This week's averages included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Stable conditions allow the genetics to express themselves naturally, and this room continues proving just how important consistency really is. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell an exciting story. The wide shots immediately reveal just how much taller she's becoming compared to many of the surrounding plants. The close-ups showcase beautiful early flower development, vibrant green foliage, and exceptionally clean internodal spacing. One of my favourite images captures her standing proudly above the canopy. It's almost as if she's announcing to the room that she isn't finished stretching just yet. She's becoming one of the true standouts of this project. 🔮 Looking Ahead The biggest question for next week is simple... Will she finally slow down? Or does she still have another growth spurt waiting? Either way, I expect the stretch to gradually begin easing while flower production starts taking priority. Those clusters of fresh white pistils should continue stacking into larger bud sites, and if everything continues progressing as smoothly as it has so far, the first noticeable resin production shouldn't be too far away. She's already among the tallest plants in the room. Now it's time to see if she can become one of the most productive as well. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week reminds me why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. Even when every variable is carefully controlled, each plant still finds her own unique way to express the genetics she's carrying. Watching those differences unfold week after week has been one of the most rewarding experiences of this entire grow, and I'm grateful to everyone sharing the journey with me. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn, and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrients supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the power behind every leaf and every flower. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable around the clock. ✨ Lumiflora for adding under-canopy lighting that helps ensure the lower flower sites receive the light they deserve. And finally... Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries, leaves a comment, shares advice, or simply enjoys watching these twelve very different personalities grow together. Your support makes every update even more enjoyable to write. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues her race toward the ceiling and, hopefully, begins transforming all that incredible structure into equally incredible flowers. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Harvest day 71 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested. After the trichomes have been checked (70% milky 30% amber) as always, it was left in complete darkness for 48 hours before it was neatly trimmed by hand. After trimming, she was put back in the drying tent on nets. There they are allowed to dry for the next 8-12 days at 62% humidity before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs. After about 4-6 weeks in the jar I will swap the 62% boveda pack for a 58% boveda pack where it can be ready for another 4-6 weeks to enjoy :-). As always, the remains of the leaves are used to make Ice o Lator and oil. Of course, as always, there is a final update during the fermentation process. Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with this update. Stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍. You can buy this Strain at https://www.barneysfarm.com/blue-cheese-34 Type: Blue Cheese ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blueberry X Original Cheese 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

RS11 has been busier than a one armed bricklayer in Baghdad, stacking on size , buds forming and looking good . She’s a testament to the genetics. Defol , tie down, feed up and watch her go . I’ve customised my spider farmer light , extending the frame and moving the middle bars out wider and have a HPS lamp down thru the middle of it . Interesting to see what happens but so far the plant seems real happy with the bit of extra heat . I’m hoping with a higher temp difference of light on light off I get some nice colours later on . See what happens hey .

hello hello growers! My dark phoenix makes me very happy with its growth and development .. this very peculiar bole is seen by its appearance and characteristic leaves .. I think I understood why she was called a phoenix)) each tip of a branch where leaves have just recently blossomed, looks like a bird, like a phoenix) take a closer look at some of the photos, this is clearly a view)) chack the video)))

She is experiencing a general yellowing all over. I contacted Advanced Nutrients support and they consulted me to increase the feeding. Let’s hope that she recovers fast. On the other hand, she keeps growing buds. Maybe a little stunned. That’s why I am waiting another 2 days for lollipoping.

frosted guava ❄️ 🌱 Anfang Woche 5/10 🌱 Die drei Frosted Guava legen weiterhin ordentlich an Wachstum zu und entwickeln sich genau in die Richtung, die ich mir vorgestellt habe. Mittlerweile ist die Lampe bereits auf die maximale Höhe eingestellt, da die Pflanzen den verfügbaren Platz immer mehr ausnutzen. Es macht einfach Spaß zu sehen, wie kräftig und gesund sie sich Woche für Woche weiterentwickeln. Langsam beginnt jetzt die spannende Phase des Grows: Die Blüte startet und die ersten weißen Blütenstempel zeigen sich an allen drei Pflanzen. Damit ist der Übergang von der Wachstumsphase in die Blüte offiziell eingeläutet. Ich bin gespannt, wie sie sich in den kommenden Wochen strecken und wie sich die Buds entwickeln werden. Auch das Klima spielt momentan wieder gut mit. Nachdem es zwischenzeitlich deutlich wärmer war, liegen die Temperaturen aktuell wieder bei etwa 20 bis 28 °C. Gerade für den Blütestart sind diese Bedingungen deutlich angenehmer, wodurch die Pflanzen hoffentlich ihr volles Potenzial ausschöpfen können. Diese Woche habe ich außerdem im unteren Bereich ein paar kleinere Triebe entfernt, die ohnehin kaum Licht bekommen hätten. Zusätzlich mussten einige große Blätter weichen, die andere Pflanzenteile unnötig beschattet haben. So kann das Licht besser bis in die unteren Bereiche gelangen und die Luftzirkulation wird ebenfalls verbessert. Ab sofort bekommen die drei außerdem den Blütedünger von Advanced Nutrients, um sie optimal durch die kommenden Wochen der Blüte zu begleiten. Jetzt heißt es weiterhin beobachten, pflegen und den Pflanzen beim täglichen Wachsen zusehen. Vielen Dank, dass ihr wieder vorbeigeschaut habt und meinen Grow begleitet. Happy Growing Growmies! 🌱?💚

Went to town on the not so lower third, did a good lower half on these since they are so tall, I don’t really want any larf and I’ll probably go back in in a couple weeks and do the same thing. These ladies are stretching crazy and also starting to put out some ice. Very excited, these were cloned from a purple pheno, but that purple pheno couldn’t been due to deficiency. Either way I’m so hyped for this grow, the octopots are out performing my expectations and so are the plants. I turned the light up to 75% and they seem to like it so far, I’m afraid to go too high on it since they are essentially touching it right now anyway. Week 3 in the books. It’s time for some bud formation.
