Woche 8 geht los, die Lampen stehen auf 100% Grow und 100% Flower, ich habe ein Netz rein gespannt und nach 1–2 Tagen in der letzten Woche alles weggeschnitten, was unterm Netz war sowie einige Seitentriebe. Somit sollte jeder Hauptstrang maximal 4–5 Seitentriebe haben. Zudem fangen sich die Blüten an zu bilden und es sind deutliche Härchen zu sehen. Update: Tag 5 Woche 9: Die Blüten werden immer größer und harzen schon auf die umliegenden Blätter 😍

2/18: 4 weeks since we planted them. Some of the new nodes since topping are starting to come in. Also finally got to doing some lst. First time, so I didn't rlly know what I was doing all that much, but my main goal was to pull branches outward and have more light reaching all the nodes. I should definitely have topped and done LST earlier, but oh well, now I know for next time. I also removed some of the new fan leaves that were covering the new nodes. My roommate wanted to experiment with the smallest one so removed some of its big fan leaves. I don't really think that was the right call, but whatever we'll see what happens. Would also have loved to try mainlining but its also pretty late for that. It would have slowed down veg quite a bit too, and since we have to go home from college in early may, they have to be harvested by then. Gonna water later this afternoon as well.

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 7 | Every Plant Has Its Own Pace Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system, nutrient solution and care. The only real variable is genetics, making this a fascinating opportunity to observe how each cultivar expresses itself when everything else remains constant. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, while being documented from germination through to harvest. One of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that no two plants read the same script. Some sprint ahead. Others take their time. Blueberry Muffin has clearly chosen the second option. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues exactly as expected, although she remains one of the slower ladies in the room. The initial stretch is beginning to settle, while clusters of bright white pistils continue appearing across every flowering site. Buds are slowly beginning to define themselves, and although they aren't stacking aggressively yet, there is no doubt she has fully committed her energy to reproduction. At this stage I prefer to let the plants work without unnecessary interruptions. During the first two or three weeks of flowering they're busy redirecting energy from vegetative growth into flower production. Unless a plant truly needs intervention, I find it's often better to simply observe, let nature do its work and avoid creating unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is nothing at all. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Slowly Finding Her Colour Again Last week I mentioned that Blueberry Muffin was asking for a little more nutrition than some of her neighbours. That continues to be the case. She still isn't displaying the rich green colour I'd ultimately like to see, but the good news is that she's slowly responding. By the end of the week the foliage had noticeably improved, confirming that the adjustments are moving in the right direction. One of the challenges of running a room like this is that every plant shares the same reservoir. If this were a single-plant grow, I could tailor the nutrient solution specifically to her needs. But in a room containing twelve different genetics, the feeding programme has to serve the collective rather than the individual. Fortunately, the entire room reached the point where nutrient demand naturally increased this week, so the reservoir was adjusted accordingly. The increase wasn't made specifically for Blueberry Muffin, but it should help her continue recovering alongside the rest of the garden. Sometimes growing isn't about creating the perfect recipe for one plant. It's about finding the best balance for all of them. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Although she remains relatively compact compared to some of the other cultivars, Blueberry Muffin continues developing a very attractive structure. Her branches remain nicely spaced, the internodal distance is consistent, and light continues penetrating well throughout the canopy thanks to the gentle leaf management carried out during the vegetative stage. She's certainly not trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Instead, she's quietly building a neat framework that should support healthy flower development over the coming weeks. Not every champion announces themselves early. Some simply take a little longer to show what they're capable of. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing the plants to focus their energy on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 20.2°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency remains one of the greatest allies during early flowering, and maintaining a stable environment helps every cultivar express its genetic potential as evenly as possible. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues delivering fresh nutrient solution whenever required, allowing the root zone to remain consistently supplied throughout flowering. This week's reservoir consists of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom reflects the overall nutritional demand of the room as flowering progresses. Blueberry Muffin appears to be benefiting from this adjustment, and I'll continue watching her closely over the coming weeks to see if her foliage continues returning to a deeper green. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a story of patience. The flowers continue to develop steadily, fresh pistils cover every developing bud site, and the plant's elegant structure is becoming increasingly apparent. Perhaps the most interesting detail captured through the lens is the gradual improvement in leaf colour. It's subtle, but visible enough to suggest that she's beginning to settle into her new feeding regime. Photography often reveals progress that our eyes overlook during daily inspections. Looking back at previous weeks reminds me just how much can change in only a few days. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week I'll simply continue monitoring her progress without making unnecessary adjustments. I'm hoping to see the foliage continue regaining a richer green while the flowers begin putting more energy into stacking and bulking up. Blueberry Muffin may be taking her time... ...but that's perfectly fine. Every plant has its own rhythm, and one of the greatest lessons any grower can learn is knowing when to guide—and when to simply let the plant write its own story. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or have only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every shared experience. Watching these twelve cultivars grow side by side has become an incredible learning opportunity, and it's even more rewarding because it's shared with such an amazing community. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their experiences and continue learning together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for allowing us to explore how this cultivar expresses itself under a unique 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrients and growing media that support these plants through every stage of their journey. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that powers this entire project and helps every phenotype reveal its own unique character. Finally, thank you for being part of this adventure. Every photograph, every observation and every lesson becomes more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues finding her own pace through flower. 💚🌱

Did a lot of training and defoliation. I will move her into a bigger tent now as shes about to start flowering hopefully by end of next week 😍. Will also be using scrog net and will add Bud Candy along with the other nutrients : PH perfect Micro,Grow, Bloom

Week 3 (1-7 to 7-7) 1-7 Temps: 22.2 to 26 degrees Humidity: 50% to 70% 2-7 Temps: 22.2 to 25.2 degrees Humidity: 49% to 73% Watering: #1: 92 ml. #2: 96 ml. PH: 5.8 3-7 Temps: 21.8 to 25.3 degrees Humidity: 52% to 78% 4-7 Temps: 22.2 to 26 degrees Humidity: 36% to 64% 5-7 Temps: 19.7 to 24.5 degrees Humidity: 45% to 62% Watering: Both 1500 ml. I transplanted the girls in the early morning to 18L AutoPots. I use the airbases with an airdome, and a airstone connected to an airpump. As for the soil i use Plagron Coco-Perlite 70/30. After i transplanted them i moved them into the 100x100x180cm tent. The light is at 40% strength with a distance of 60 cm. Im happy they are finally transplanted into the AutoPots, My plan was to do this way sooner but i forgot to buy the root disks. So i had to wait till they arrived, and with the legalization in Germany there is a huge delivery time. 6-7 Temps: 18.8 to 25 degrees Humidity: 41% to 64% 7-7 Temps: 18.8 to 25.5 degrees Humidity: 44% to 57%

HELLO GROWING FRIENDS - Please look at my Aftermovie Growvideo, which cost me about 4 hours to create. hope you like it! Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟 It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments! While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless. Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process: 1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying! 2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison! 3️⃣ Yield Update Wet, the total came in at 209 grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment. 4️⃣ Curing Plan The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing. Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨ As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions. I’m really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I’ve gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I’m incredibly proud of my first results! As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

11/03 - 2x2 (6 clones) 4x4 (11 clones) - 4x4 trimmed and ready for flip this week - 2x2 being trimmed this week and flipped same time as the 4x4 - Only clean water and carbo flush feeds for this week. Drip line emitter added to the 2x2 with a 5 gallon res - each pot has 2 lines.

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

31/1 So yes I've had some trouble keep this lady under control, she keep forcing again LST so to give a better light compensation at the lower branches I've cut a top leaf, now the canopy look much more uniform hope she gonna react and respond well, we'll see in the next days 4/4 So we had an amazing week, the runtz improves a lot and start to produce many withe pistils, it's gonna be the last week of vegetation so from now on i was thinking to add an extra light, the low branches are streching out and the top cola it's incrementing his yield, hope to see new nice improvement btw Happy easter!

They seem to have packed on some decent size this week which I’m glad to see but the trichome production leaves a little to be desired. Some of the lower buds look more frosty than the top buds which seems weird to me but I don’t really know that much lol. My ph runoff has been a little low which I think has to do with the molasses I gave them which wasn’t blackstrap which I think raises ph. Anyways, next watering will be with about 7.0 until my runoff corrects, it could explain the yellowing leaves as well. But the runoff is 6.1-6.3 which shouldn’t be that big an issue so it could be something else but I’m so close to the end messing around too much is probably not the best thing to do. Hopefully my pictures and videos are a little better this week at least! Enjoy and hit me up in the comments if you have any tips!

Wow the smell! ghost train smells like a citrusy diesel and the pineapple is getting more of an acidic fruity aroma. they are finally starting to put on some size closing in on the end of week 4 flower, next week i will step up the nutes. I defoliared the bottom 50% of the plant now that it seems to have finished stretching, and removed any big fan leaves blocking the better bud sites. i couldn’t ask for a better first grow so far!

What can I say the ladies are looking good forming up nicely Im really glad i trained them because they are going to get big ahah Other then that we are on schedule and things are kicking up it up a notch in the garden . Thanks to everyone who comes down and checks out the diarys means alot to me . I wish y ou all the best through the hollidays ! -Happy Growing!

Just waiting for the malana bomb to finish drying then ill chop this and pop it in the box for drying. Lots of Amber visible and the foxtailing is getting worse so wanna do it as soon as possible. Hoping it'll be nice and couch lock.

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

great strain, it has an awesome scent and taste, average yield but really great buds! it was a pleasure to grow it, i harvested a bit early but due to bad weather and high RH i had to harvest

All in all super stoked yall! I’ll update final weight after cure.

Estos últimos riegos seran solo con agua ya que la.planta muestra sintomas de que le queda poco para que acabe su periodo de floracion. Realizaremos limpieza de sustrato solo con agua para poder conseguir una mejor sabor y la fumada sea mas suave.
