Good job..16/19

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

Bud's everywhere... Nearly ready to begin flush.... 1-2 More feeds of nutrients then begin flush. Day 6 - defoliation on the lower leaves and slot of bending to expose the lower Bud's.. I HATE SMALL NUGS !!!!!! Pointles....so bend or lollipop

I topped this one too jus tucking bigger fan leaves until i can fo some LST .she growing jus as good so my little experiment grow dots vs. Bottles is so far the same both have vigorous growth still early to decide but will definitely keep updating only issue when it came time to feed the other I forgot that this girl already got food on her plate and I poured jus a cunt hair of nutes on her before I realized I gave her growdots so I made me a little sign just as a reminder lol happy growing 🤙

Final

Day 57 this little lady last weekend showed up with some burning on the leaves but I’m. Not really sure it was an excess of nutrient, signals of a deficiency of K and P are also visible. So I just gave oh controlled water with regulator and enzym+ and some calmag, now everything looks fine and i ‘ m sure I t will be great this week. Tomorrow, feeding day! Day 59 lady si farting up every day, I’ve been feeding her the last two days. The yellow on the leaves is just because of a water deficiency from the last week, I wanted my lady to absorb everything I gave. On day 57 I gave 1 lt but it was too dry, so on day 58 I gave her another lt and she took it all with PH 6,2 and PPM 1000z I think I’ve got 20/25 day max left so this will be the last week of fertilising from Day 70 I’ll start mi flush. Day 62 today feeding day I finally get my p-boost and k-boost from aptus. She drunk 1 lt with ph 6,1 and ppm 1090 Let’s see🌱🌱🌱🔥🔥

Hallo Freunde 👋 Jealousy Diesel sind 84 Tage Alt und nähern sich dem Ende entgegen! Beide sind schön harzig und klebrig und haben sich zu wunderschönen Pflanzen entwickelt! Noch ein paar Tage und dann ist es auch mit dieser soweit für die Ernte ✌️ keep Green and grow High 🍀💚🍀

Day 99 Decided to harvest today. It's been a super interesting grow, first time I tried any form of hydro in a DIY grow bucket. The bucket did an amazing job! Stresskiller performed excellent as well! Was a very easy to grow strain. Didn't have any issues, only performed defoliations to try and get an even canopy, which worked out really great, I will probably never top autos anymore now, giving it less stress seems to be the way to get a longer veg period. It took 35 days for the first flower pistils to show up on the flowering nodes. My trichomes sadly never went more then 20% cloudy, but I think this has something to do with my setup, as my previous grow also had this issue. The plant is drying now in the dry tent, when it is done and trimmed I will do a final weigh in and update the journal with the total dry weight. I can't wait to try some, her smell is like sour and citrussy, very potent.

Hola! Bueno, qué decir! La planta ha crecido a niveles que nunca esperé. Intenté enredar las ramas con la red, pero es difícil. Logré alejarla un poco de la lámpara pero no se me ocurre cómo. Hice el cambio de agua y empezamos con la primera semana de flora. Estimo 8 semanas en total de flora, en principio. También corté las ramas inferiores. Gracias por seguirme!

Until now I lowered my Ph with the PH- from BIoBizz. It was working fine but this week I tried Plagron PH- and it works better, I need to add 2x less ph- solution to lower the ph of the same volume of water. I recommend it 😘 My instagram😉: https://instagram.com/hou_stone420?utm_source=qr&igshid=NGExMmI2YTkyZg%3D%3D

Hola and straight back to budiness 🐴 Thanks KANNABIA for seeds and fast delivery. Always nice to work with professionals 😉 Wasnt that long summer holiday for boombox. Doesnt help to hold your fart after shit is in pants. No crying will help so new seed to soil and i have good feeling this is going to make until end 🤝 Next warrior is from KANNABIA. Welcome Swiss dream rose auto cbd to challenge. There was 2 bigger seeds so i plant the one thats in middle at picture. Straight to soil. Same 7l pot. Different color. Hit couple times around stonehenge with wooden shovel. Water from broken glass. Ofcourse dome until it germinates and clay pebles to surface. Like last time i watered 0.5l from top and 1.5l to tank. Should be enough for 3 weeks. DLI 21 when it reach surface. and only i can do is wait and wish God Luck for myself, boombox and Rose🍀 With Medical Hopes 🍀

8/14 Everything looked beautiful this morning. Seems like I've got the watering schedule down better. I do have one gmo that looks hungry so I need to increase nutes. At least on that plant. Toasted toffy has little spits that could be water marks, pests or septoria. I don't think it's septoria. In the pastvi lost far more leaves when I had septoria. I've been crazy busy. I'm surprised things are going this well. I need to put up the final supports so I can add to them once I've got big heavy buds. I was really stoked to see everything doing so well. The plant in the 50gallon is the furthest in flower. I'm so grateful to have the ability to grow high quality cannabis for myself amd my wife. There's nothing quite like it. That hash I made turned out great. I think I'll press it today. Supports will be done this week. Saw a few aphids on the plant I cut down. Earwigs aren't here this summer or there would be NO aphids. Plus when I cleaned out the insides this morning I found some dead leaves WAY in the middle by the stalk. They would've eaten that shit if they were here. Birds and other predators seem to be keeping pillars at bay. I'm not seeing the damage and when I do sfind one it's absolutely tiny like a newborn. I'll think about whether I need to spray BT. 8/15 That fucking cancel button always fucks everything out. I was done no I need to start over. Didn't water last night. Found pm on my gmo in the 30. Interior of the plant. Should've defoliated better and earlier. Oh well. I'll treat with k bicarb or plant doctor. I'll have to think about it. Other plants are looking good. Well they all are. I just hate pm. I can't isolate it due to local laws so it is what it is. Nothing I haven't dealt with before. Watered today. The middle gmo in the 30 got 1.5 gallons. The other plants each got a gallon. Including the one in the 10gal and 50 gal. Its supposed to rain but only like .1. I also chose to feed today. All plants got a gallon. I DID NOT WATER THE EVENT HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SHERB PIE AS THEY WERE PRAYING AND HEAVY. I need to get these supports up. I'll update as I go. Oh and one thing I remembered is that, I didn't properly sanitize the trellis nets I installed on the plant that has pm (non visible today but still). I harvested the plant that used that bet last year was harvested in two stages. The bottom I let go way later and ended up with a little pm on the stuff I left for hash material and it got some pm. I wonder if that's whete this came from. 8/16 Death in the family this morning. I couldn't decide if I should use organocide plant doctor or not. It's a systemic It's been discontinued and reformulated. It's a systemic fungicide. Instead I mixed two tsp potassium bicarbonate with a little dawn in a half gallon mister. I used gloves and defoliated everything that had pm on it. I checked the plants next to it and luckily it hasn't spread yet....but it will. I feel safer using the k bicarb. I'll do more research and try to find the best way to tackle this. I don't want to get rid of the plant and due to local ordinance I can't isolate it. If I can keep it to this one plantvthat would be fine. I'd just use it for extracts. So glad I didn't use all that netting and put up tjosr supports. I'll need to disinfect them if I decide to use them. We'll see. Plants are coming right along flowering. WENT BACK OVER AND DEFOLIATED A BUNCH OF fan leaves and interior stuff to promote airflow. Still saw pm on that plant u had treated earlier with k bicarb. I can't isolate due to laws and I'm not willing to discard this massive monster cropped plant. So I'm going to treat it. I started by removing everything infected and improving airflow on that plant and all the others. I didn't make it to one event horizon. I plan to treat the infected plant with Organocide Plant Doctor since its what I have on hand and I've had good luck. It's a systemic. After I treat the one plant and see that it didn't hurt the plant I'll use a preventative dosage on the other plants. I've battled wpm several times. This is something I'm very familiar with. What sucks is it's totally my fault it happened due to grower error. This has set back me puttingvup my supports as well. Plants look good woth a haircut. Also the toasted toffy had some leaves removed with spots that looked like septoria. I think nutes havecreally kicked things in gear. Now there are little buds on plants. 8/17 BAGS still seemed heavy so I didn't water. It's been MUCH cooler. It's 63 at 9am. It would normally be 80 by now so maybe they aren't using as much water. I watered the the toasted toffy I missed last round but the Sherb Pie still had weight to it. I also watered the GMO on the far side and the one in the 30 as the seemed a little lighter. I looked in and I couldn't find a SPOT of powder mildew on the plant! I know it will come back but on this 100% rh day there isn't a spot I can find! I'm going to go check on them later today. Do some more defoliation and treat the plants with Plant Doctor to try to mitigate the spread of the P.M. Very suprised the k bicarb worked like that. WENT BACK OVER AROUND 11. I WATERED THE TWO THAT DIDNT GET WATERED LAST TIME. THE EVENT HORIZON AND THE SHERB PIE. IT WAS COLD AND OVERCAST. TEMPS HAVE BEEN MUCH COOLER. SOON AS I WATERED THE SUN CAME OHT AND THE TEMP WENT UP. I WENT THROUGH THE PLANTS I MISSED AND SEFOLIATED LEAVES AND INTERIOR BRANCHES TO INCREASE AIRFLOW. SURPRISED TO STILL SEE NO PM WITH 100% HUMIDITY. I WENT THROUGH EVERY PLANT. ILL NEED TO GO TJROUGH AGAIN BUT TJIS IS MUCH BETTER. THE TOASTED TOFFY THAT MAY HAVE SEPTORIA I WILL TREAT TONOGHT WITH PLANT DOCTOR. I REMOVED ANYTHING LOOKING INFECTED. I LSTed THE BIGGEST BRANCHES WITH CLIPS TO THE BAG AMD TWINE. SO AIRFLOW IS MUCH BETTER. I THEN REMOVED A BU CH OF THE MIDDLE. I COULD TAKE MORE BUT ON OUTDOOR HARVESTS THAT LITTLE STUFF GOES IN EXTRACTS. I PUT A FEW HOURS IN TODAY. IM GOING BACK AND ILL TEST THE PLANT DOCTOR ON THE TOASTED TOFFY. BUT IF THE K BICARB WORKS THIS GOOD ILL JUST KEEP USING THAT. 8/18 It started sprinkling when I left this morning. I did more defoliation on a few different plants. Including the healthiest GMO. It seems like things should be further in flower but it is what it is. I'm not doing clones again. Only reason I did is because I lost my 72 seedlings and depleted my seed supply. I hate treating pm. Lost Coast Plant Therapy I'd really whete its at when it comes to treating pm. I might just order that. My commercial buddy told me that he wouldn't use the plant doctor and not to "spray shot all over my plants". He's probably right. I see something small and try to overcurrent. I dont see any more septoria looking leaves on the toasted toffy since I lsted it and removed damaged leaves. I was going to use the fungicide plant doctor on that and then use it ad a preventative. He's probably right. I've put a lot of work in defoliation and such. It WILL spread but it hasn't yet. I removed what I saw. I was going to hit it again with k bicarb but it said it should be weekly treatments.i hope I'm doing things right. I shouldn't be this worried about pm but I've got am anxiety disorder. I'll fully sterilize (AGAIN) my posts and trellis netting before I instal it. I'll probably go check on them later. It's hard to avoid pm with 100% humidity and 30° temp swings. I've got a few lights so maybe this winter I'll do indoor. I'll try to keep this updated. LOOKING BACK AT PRIOR DIARIES I GUESS IM RIGHT WHERE I SHOULD BE FLOWERING WISE. I JUST HAD A COUPLE REALLY EARLY PHENOS A COUPLE TIMES. 8/19 Defoliated some more stuff amd tried to improve airflow. Humidity is high and it was sprinkling earlier. I think we'll have showers. Not seeing much pm. MAYBE a little in the middle of that middle gmo but it could just be residue. I'll treat it again with potassium bicarbonate soon. If that doesn't work I'll switch up treatments. I've got citric acid amd some other stuff too. I almost ordered lost coast last night but decided I'd wait to try it out. The toasted toffy has SOME spots that look like septoria. It's the second furthest in flower and very indica leaning. It seems to be flowering vigorously so I don't want to fuck with it too much. I could use plant doctor on it and see what happens but I'm going to monitor for a few days after defoliating. WENT BACK OVER AROUND 4 AND SHOOK OFFCTHE PLANTS. HADNT RAINED MUCH. BAGS ARE STILL HEAVY. THE TEN WAS LIGHT AND THE EVENT HORIZON BESIDE IT SEEMED A LITTLE LGHT AS WELL. I THINK IT MIGHT BE ME COMPARING THEM TO OTHER PLANTS THAT ARE SATURATED. SEEING HOW THEY BOTH LOOKED THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN THEM I HELD OFF WATERING. ITS ALSO SPRINKL9NG AMD GOING TO RAIN TONIGHT. ILL REASSESS IN THE MORNING. PLANNED ON USING PLANT DOCTOR ON TOASTED TOFFY BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT PARTIALLY DUE TO THE RAIN. PARTIALLY BECAUSE I PUSSED OUT. I WANTED TO FEED. IVE NOTICED SOME FADE AND PLANTS PUSHING AND TRYING TO GET OVER THE FENXE INTO FLOWER. THE TOASTED TOFFY AND THE UNKNOWN IN THE 50 ATE THE FURTHEST ALONG AND DEVELOPING ROCK HARD BUDS. GMO HAS A MASSIVE STRETCH. THINGS CHANGE DAILY. I WANTED TO GET A GOOD DOSE OF NUTES IN SO AFTER THIS LITTLE BIT OF RAIN WHEN WE GET THAT NICE SUNSHINE MY PLANTS WILL TAKE OFF!! THEY'VE BEEN PROGRESSING FAST DESPITE THE SHITTY WEATHER. 8/20 It's still sprinkling. It SAYS WE got zero rain yesterday but that's just not true. Today is supposed to be light showers with like .02 in 9f rain. I mixed up some water to check the plants. I figured a few would he light. The event horizon on the back SEEMED a little light. So did the one invthe ten. I realized it was just comparing it to the bags that were saturated. Still I ended up giving the event horizon in the back a half gallon and split the other half with the one in the 10 that dries out super fast. It's crazy. The weather just abruptly changed one day and I go from watering twice a day to hardly at all! Everything but the sherb pie and the seedling in the 10gal are vigorously flowering. Upping the nutes was a smart move. The seemed to like it. I'm gonna check later and as soon as I can I'll hit that toasted toffy with plant doctor. That's tied for furthest along in flower. I've done a bunch of research and I think this is the right move. I'll keep this updated. After this small patch of shitty weather we are goingvto get some sun amd these girls will EXPLODE! WENT BACK OVER A FEW TIMES. LAST AT SIX. I DID SOME DEFOLIATION AND PRUNING OF PLANT INTERIORS. ITS ABOUT TIME TO TREAT THE TOASTED TOFFY AGAIN WITH PLANT DOCTOR. I CAN SEE SOME SEPTORIA SPOTS. I TREATED THE EVENT HORIZON THIS MORNING. IT GOT A FEW HOURS BEFORE A LITTPE RAIN WND THEN SUNNY AND 80. I USED BETWEEN A QUARTER AND HALF GALLON ON THE INE PLANT. I MAY NOT HAVE USED ENOUGH OF THE MIXED UP SOLUTION ONVTHE TOASTED TOFFY. IT HAD BEEN WORKING AWESOME AND NOW THAT ITS TIME TO REAPPLY I NOTICE A FEW LEAVES THAT LOOK INFECTED. OVER THE NEXT WEEK ILL BE MONITORING THE RESPONS FROM THE PLANT DOCTOR. I'M CONSIDERING APPLYING PLANT DOCTOR TO THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I THIBJ THE K BICARB HAS BEEN DOING GOOD KEEPING THE PM DOWN ON THE MIDDLE GMO. I HATE THAT I HAVE TO FIGHT DISEASES. IM NOT DOING CLONES AGAIN. AND IM GOING TO BE MUCH CLEANER. THE SHERB PIE LOOKS A LITTLE OVERWATERED AND HAS SOME YELLOW LEAVES BUT MANY HAVE TURNED PURPLE AND OTHER FALL COLORS. THE PLANTS ARE AGGRESSIVELY FLOWERING AND TEMPS ARE CHANGING. STILL IN EARLY FLOWER. IVE GOT A GOOD FEELING. IVE DEALT WITH MUCH WORSE AND CAME OUT GOOD.

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno A 👑🔥 🌸 The Queen Is LOUD… And She's Looking Better Than Ever Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Guess what? The Queen is still shining. 👑✨🌸 And honestly... WOW. This girl continues to surprise me. Godfather OG Pheno A is looking absolutely remarkable right now. The flowers are developing beautifully, the colours are changing, the plant is moving deeper into maturity, and the overall appearance of this girl is becoming something really special. And then there's the smell... 😂 OH MY GOD. This girl is LOUD. 🔥👃💨 I don't know yet if she's going to be the loudest plant in the entire 8×8. But let's just say... she's making a very strong argument. And that's quite something considering what we've already smelled in this room. She's been one of the more difficult girls throughout the journey. She hasn't always been the happiest-looking plant in the room. She's had her moments. She's had her stresses. She's made us work a little harder to understand what she was trying to tell us. But now? Look at her. Just look at her. The Queen is looking like a Queen. 👑🌸💚 So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 WEEK 13 – THE QUEEN KEEPS SHINING Week after week, Godfather OG Pheno A has been writing her own story. And it hasn't necessarily been the easiest story. She's had stress. She's had moments where she wasn't exactly the happiest girl in the room. She's made me question things. She's made me watch her more closely. She's made me learn. But that's exactly what makes this week so satisfying. Because despite everything... she's still here. And she's beautiful. Really beautiful. The flowers are looking increasingly mature. The colours are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are changing. The foliage is fading in places. And the overall plant is giving us that unmistakable feeling that we're moving deeper into the final chapter. She's not simply growing anymore. She's finishing. And she's doing it in her own style. 👑🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 LOOK AT THOSE COLOURS This is one of the things that really caught my attention this week. Look at the fading. Look at the colours appearing throughout the plant. Look at the transition. This is one of those moments where the photographs really tell the story. Earlier in the grow, she was carrying much more uniform green. Now we're seeing those deeper flowering-stage changes becoming more obvious. And I absolutely love it. Not because "fading = better." That's not the point. The point is that we're watching the plant change. We're watching her move through time. We're watching the transition from active flowering development toward maturity. And with Godfather OG Pheno A, that transition is becoming beautiful. She's developing her own palette. Her own colours. Her own final expression. And when you put the photographs from earlier weeks beside these... you can really see how far she's travelled. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL And then we get to the part that really matters... the flowers. 🔥🌸 They're developing beautifully. The buds are becoming more substantial. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing. The resin continues to catch the light. And everything is starting to look much more mature. This is the stage where you can finally start seeing the plant's personality expressed through the flowers themselves. Not just: "Here is a flowering plant." But: "This is what THIS phenotype produces." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us something beautiful. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the most perfect. She's not trying to behave like the other eleven girls. She's simply being herself. And I really like what she's becoming. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE RESIN IS STILL GETTING MY ATTENTION Of course... I can't talk about this girl without talking about the frost. 😂💎📸 The closer we get... the more she gives us. The flowers are becoming increasingly decorated with resin. The sugar leaves are carrying that beautiful frosty appearance. And when you combine that with the changing colours? Oh my. 👑❄️🌸 This is exactly why I love photographing these girls week after week. The full plant tells one story. The individual flower tells another. And the macro tells you something completely different again. You can see the progression. You can see the maturity. You can see the resin. You can see the colours. And you can see just how much this girl has changed. ──────────────────────── 👃 AND THEN THERE'S THE SMELL... Okay. We need to talk about this. Because this girl is LOUD. 😂😂😂 I mean... LOUD. 🔥👃💨 Every time I get close to her, she makes her presence known. And that's saying something in a room with twelve different plants. I don't know yet if she's officially the loudest. I'm not giving her that crown just yet. 😂👑 We need to wait. We need to compare. We need to get through the harvest. We need to see what happens during drying and curing. And then, eventually... we'll really know what this girl has to say. Because aroma can evolve dramatically throughout the rest of the journey. But right now? Let's just say... Godfather OG Pheno A has entered the conversation. And she's shouting. 😂🔥👃 ──────────────────────── 🔊 IS SHE GOING TO BE THE LOUD ONE? This is now officially one of the questions I'm carrying into the final part of this diary. We've got twelve girls. Twelve different phenotypes. Different structures. Different flowers. Different expressions. And eventually... we'll get to compare them. Who has the most interesting aroma? Who has the strongest aroma? Who changes the most during drying? Who develops the most interesting cured profile? Who surprises us? And who... is simply fucking loud? 😂🔥👃 Godfather OG Pheno A may have just volunteered herself for that last category. But I'm not declaring the winner yet. We'll see. And when we eventually get to the smoke reports and final reviews... that's where we can really talk about it properly. For now... I'm just enjoying the smell. A LOT. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE QUEEN WASN'T ALWAYS THIS HAPPY And this is something I really want to acknowledge. Because looking at her now, it would be easy to forget the journey. She hasn't exactly been the easiest plant in this room. She's had stress throughout the grow. She's had moments where she didn't look like the happiest girl. She's made me pay attention. She's made me adapt. And sometimes... she simply made me shake my head and say: "Okay, Queen. What are you doing now?" 😂👑 But that's the beauty of growing individual phenotypes. You don't get twelve perfect copies. You get twelve personalities. Some are easy. Some are demanding. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some seem to love everything you do. Some make you work for every little bit of cooperation. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's definitely made me work for her. But now she's giving something back. And I think that's pretty damn special. ──────────────────────── ❤️ THE REWARD AFTER THE STRESS This is probably what makes me happiest about this week. It's not just that she looks beautiful. It's that she looks beautiful AFTER everything. After the stress. After the difficult moments. After all the times I wondered how she was going to finish. She's still standing there. Still flowering. Still producing resin. Still developing colour. Still smelling absolutely ridiculous. And looking better than ever. 😂👑🌸 That's a reward in itself. Sometimes the plants that give you the easiest ride aren't necessarily the ones you remember most. Sometimes... it's the difficult ones. The ones that make you learn. The ones that make you pay attention. The ones that keep you guessing. And then, at the end... they turn around and give you something beautiful. That's Godfather OG Pheno A for me. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE PHOTON EXPERIMENT CONTINUES The lighting setup remains unchanged. We're still running the upgraded Future of Grow environment with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're controlling their output at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug And the upper canopy remains around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD That's a lot of photons flying around this jungle. 😂☀️🌿 But again, the interesting part isn't simply the number. It's what the different plants do with those photons. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us another answer. She's developing. She's maturing. She's producing flowers. She's changing colour. And she's showing us her own expression. Same artificial sun. Different genetic response. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT QUEEN This is something I keep coming back to because it becomes more obvious every week. The environment is shared. The lighting is shared. The irrigation is shared. The nutrition philosophy is shared. The room is shared. But the plants don't behave the same. Godfather OG Pheno A has her own interpretation. And I love that. We're not trying to force her to behave like another phenotype. We're not trying to make her look like somebody else. We're simply providing the stage... and watching what she does on it. And right now? She's putting on one hell of a show. 👑🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – THE FINISH IS APPROACHING We're also continuing with the gradual nutritional transition as the room moves deeper into the flowering cycle. Terra Bloom has been reduced from the earlier level toward: 🌱 2.0 ml/L with the EC now around: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The philosophy remains the same. Gradual. Observational. No dramatic overnight changes. We're approaching the final part of the journey, so we're beginning to reduce the mineral base while continuing to watch how the plants respond. And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us plenty of information. The flowers are developing. The colours are changing. The plant is moving. The resin is building. And now we're watching her approach the final stage. She's getting there. But we're not rushing her. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE PLANT GETS THE FINAL VOTE This is probably one of the biggest lessons from the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can have calendars. We can have feeding schedules. We can have expectations. We can have numbers. But ultimately... the plant gets the final vote. Godfather OG Pheno A is telling us: "I'm changing." "I'm maturing." "I'm getting closer." And our job is to listen. That's what I'm doing. I'm not trying to force her into a specific timeline. I'm watching. I'm photographing. I'm smelling. I'm comparing. And I'm letting her show me where she is. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE QUEEN DESERVES HER PORTRAITS And yes... the Queen gets her photographs again. 😂📸👑 After her previous photographic privileges were restored, there is absolutely no way we're taking them away again. She's earned them. And honestly... look at her. These flowers deserve to be photographed. The colours deserve to be photographed. The resin deserves to be photographed. The fading deserves to be photographed. And the plant herself deserves the spotlight. This is what these individual diaries are about. Not just showing the final result. Showing the journey. Showing the difficult weeks. Showing the beautiful weeks. Showing the changes. Showing the personality. And Godfather OG Pheno A has certainly given us a journey. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8×8 continues under the same general environment: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output — ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature — ~26.5–27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~25–26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25–26°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature — ~25°C ⚗️ pH — approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ — ~693 ppm 💧 Irrigation — ~1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size — 15 L The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. The plants continue moving at their individual speeds. And the Queen? She's still doing her thing. ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ROOM — DIFFERENT JOURNEY This is becoming more fascinating every week. Because we're getting close enough to the end that the differences between these plants are becoming extremely obvious. Some are still very green. Some are fading. Some are moving quickly. Some are taking their time. Some are developing huge flowers. Some are developing unusual structures. Some are incredibly frosty. Some are incredibly aromatic. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's giving us colour... resin... flowers... and one hell of a smell. 😂👑🔥 That's her expression. That's her story. And I wouldn't change it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 LET HER FINISH HER STORY At this point, I'm not interested in trying to turn her into something else. She's already shown us who she is. She's been stressed. She's been difficult. She's been beautiful. She's been stubborn. She's been rewarding. And now she's approaching the final chapter. So we're going to let her finish. We're going to continue observing. We're going to continue documenting. We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue watching the colour changes. We're going to continue enjoying that ridiculous aroma. And eventually... we'll harvest. Then we'll dry. Then we'll cure. And THEN... we'll really get to know this girl. Because that's when the story gets even more interesting. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? We're getting closer. And I have to admit... I'm curious. Very curious. Because the plant is already giving us clues. Beautiful colour. Mature-looking flowers. Increasing resin. Changing pistils. And that smell... 😂🔥👃 But we're not going to spoil the ending. We'll let her take us there. And when we eventually reach the harvest and curing stages, we'll talk properly about the aroma. The flower structure. The final appearance. The dry weight. The cure. The smoke. The flavour. The effects. Everything. But for now... we're still in the garden. Still watching. Still learning. Still enjoying the Queen. ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS – LOUD, BEAUTIFUL & STILL THE QUEEN Week 13. And Godfather OG Pheno A is still shining. 👑🌸💚 Honestly... I'm really, really happy with how she's looking. Look at those flowers. Look at those colours. Look at that fading. Look at the resin. Look at the plant. She's remarkable. She's amazing. And considering how much stress she's had throughout this entire grow... I'm genuinely impressed. She hasn't been the happiest plant in the room. Not by a long shot. 😂 She's made that very clear. But maybe... just maybe... she was saving all that energy for the flowers. Because now? She's showing us something beautiful. And she's smelling absolutely insane. 🔥👃💨 I don't know if she's going to be the loudest girl in the 8×8. I'm not giving her that crown yet. But she's certainly making her case. And when we finally get to the smoke reports... that's going to be a very interesting chapter. For now, though... let's just appreciate what she's becoming. The Queen has been through a lot. She's had her moments. She's tested our patience. She's made us pay attention. She's made us learn. And now she's standing there... beautiful. Frosty. Colourful. Aromatic. And completely herself. That's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't always get the easiest plant. You don't always get the happiest plant. You don't always get the biggest plant. But sometimes... you get a plant that makes you say: "Wow." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving me that feeling right now. 👑🔥🌸 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's celebrate her. Let's photograph her. Let's enjoy her aroma. And let's see how loud this Queen really is when the time comes. Until then... Keep shining, Queen. You've earned every bit of that crown. 👑🌿💎🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us these Godfather OG genetics and allowing us to explore this individual phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey and providing the nutritional foundation behind these flowering girls. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🔥 The extra lighting capability has given us another fascinating variable to observe across these twelve completely different plants. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore this room as a three-dimensional lighting environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week... another chapter. Another phenotype. Another personality. Another lesson. And Godfather OG Pheno A has certainly given us a story. She's been stressed. She's been difficult. She's been beautiful. And now... she's becoming absolutely remarkable. 👑🌸🔥 And possibly... very, very loud. 😂👃💨 We'll find out. The final chapters will tell us. Until then, we're going to keep doing what we do. Observe. Document. Listen. Adjust when necessary. And let the plants show us who they really are. Godfather OG Pheno A... the Queen is still shining. And she's looking damn good doing it. 👑💚🌸💎🔥 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥👑

Update of Goofiez 2 of compound genetics!! On RDWC it’s literally super fast grow !! We are doing a pheno hunting of 12 plants and we seed 4 of them that are the best at the moment

Fantastic strain, very happy with the 3 phenos I'm growing, this ak420 has a very sweet and floral aroma, I'm very happy about her, cannot wait to smoke those nuggets to taste the flavor, I know it's gonna be very sweet! 🤤💚❤️💛🔝

Love the smell and its sticky. love to test in 3 weeks

Surf Purp Week 6 Flower The last week before flush. All nutrients apart from PK and sugars have been stopped. This brought the ppm/EC down, plus Remo Bloom was reduced slightly now they're not so hungry. With that being said I'm still using a lot more with this line than I'm used to. Only because the remo nutrients feeding chart lists them so strong, which I'm already a lot lower than. In future I'll try reducing them and see how they cope and perform, but that's just part of dialing it in to your own specific set up. Now that they're close to flush they're starting to get slightly more pale, with #2 and #4 showing some purpling too. This is because they are slowly coming to the end of their cycle, so they no longer need heavy feedings and are now eating less and beginning to cannibilise. They're all very frosty and giving off an insane amount of smell. At this point I'm more or less certain that #4 is a keeper, with the most unique terpene profile out of the 4 females. It smells like rotting candy/fruit with a lot of gas ⛽ it's also a close call between #1&2, as they're very similar to each other yet so different to #4. These two have the sweetest, most pungent smell of blueberries but with very slight differences between them that could change more throughout flush (and even after drying and curing). The keeper from these two will more than likely be decided after drying and curing. One or two of the main cola's on #4 are way too close to the light, with one top bud showing clear signs of burning. When you look closely, parts of the burns are brown as you would expect, and others are bleached white. These are both from heat and light damage, and aren't ideal. But, it's only the one bud on one plant so I'm not going to stress over it. In fact, she's smelling that incredible that you wouldn't even know! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

Buds growing well. I placed the fan at the back of the canopy to ensure hot air from the lamps are well extracted.
