Update of week 2

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 5 (Early Flower) 🌱 The Stretch Is Over, the Show Is Beginning Every week inside the 8×8 Adventure feels like another chapter unfolding, and Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially entered one of the most exciting stages of her life. From the moment she germinated under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, her goal has been to prove that autoflowers can still build impressive structure and healthy development under a flowering light schedule from day one. Now, after weeks of careful Low Stress Training, patient leaf tucking, and allowing her natural architecture to develop, she has fully transitioned into flowering. This week isn’t about explosive vegetative growth anymore. It’s about transformation. The first real flowers are forming, the canopy is alive with brilliant white pistils, and every branch is beginning to reveal the framework that will eventually become her harvest. ⸻ 🌸 Week 5 – Frosted Guava Finds Her Rhythm The flowering transition couldn’t have gone much smoother. Standing at approximately 99 cm, Frosted Guava has developed into a beautifully balanced medium-sized plant that fills her space naturally without becoming overwhelming. The stretch is slowing down, allowing more energy to shift toward flower production rather than vertical growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this phenotype is her internodal spacing. Every branch has enough room to breathe while remaining close enough together to promise excellent bud stacking in the weeks ahead. Nothing feels crowded, nothing feels sparse—it simply looks naturally well built. Looking from above, the canopy is incredibly satisfying. Looking from the side, her structure tells exactly the same story. Healthy. Balanced. Ready. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Development Throughout vegetative growth the focus has remained on keeping the canopy open instead of forcing the plant into an artificial shape. Regular Low Stress Training combined with gentle leaf repositioning has allowed every developing branch to receive strong light without creating unnecessary stress. Those small adjustments are beginning to pay off now. Multiple flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, air movement through the canopy remains unrestricted, and each branch has space to develop independently. Sometimes the simplest training methods produce the most natural-looking plants. Frosted Guava is becoming a perfect example of exactly that. ⸻ ? The First Flowers One of my favorite moments in every grow is watching those first clusters of bright white pistils appear. This week they’re everywhere. Each tiny white hair is another confirmation that flowering is fully underway, marking the locations where future buds will continue building over the coming weeks. The tops are already beginning to gather themselves into small floral clusters, while every node along the branches is joining the party with fresh pistils reaching toward the light. There’s something incredibly satisfying about this stage. Everything still looks delicate… Yet you already know what’s coming. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Color remains outstanding across the entire canopy. The foliage carries a beautiful healthy green tone from top to bottom, with fresh new growth emerging vibrant and full of life. Leaf posture remains excellent, stems continue thickening nicely, and the plant simply gives the impression of being comfortable in her environment. There are no distractions. She’s focused entirely on growing flowers now. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation With flowering now established, Frosted Guava is receiving the complete transition feeding program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 The AutoPot system continues delivering consistent irrigation, allowing the root zone to remain stable while supporting the increasing nutritional demands that come with early flower. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The entire room continues operating as one stable ecosystem, giving every phenotype the same opportunity to express its unique characteristics. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Despite the warm summer conditions, the plants continue responding exceptionally well thanks to stable irrigation, healthy roots, strong airflow, and carefully maintained environmental consistency. The room continues doing the heavy lifting. The plants simply reward it. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Now the fun really begins. Over the next couple of weeks, I expect the vertical stretch to gradually come to an end as Frosted Guava redirects nearly all of her energy toward building flowers. Those tiny white pistils will soon develop into recognizable bud sites, resin production will begin increasing, and the beautiful open structure she’s built throughout vegetative growth should translate into excellent light penetration and strong flower development across the entire canopy. She’s entering the stage every grower waits for. And she’s entering it beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno A is exactly where I hoped she would be at this point in the grow. Healthy. Balanced. Beautifully structured. She’s a reminder that successful flowering starts long before the first pistils appear. Every careful adjustment during vegetative growth—from LST to leaf tucking—has helped create the strong framework she’s now using to build what promises to be an impressive canopy of flowers. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality inside this shared environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for powering the room with exceptional lighting, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental precision, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, advice, and encouragement continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

So we got some very bushy plants. I topped them three times and trained them sideways and the plant focused it's energy on growing out sideways.

While I was very happy with the grow at harvest time, I am a bit disappointed with only 190 grams total dry weight from these two plants. The buds are nice, dense and packed with tricomes, the smoke is smooth and the high is clear.

Just watering now, no more feeds. Lots of leaves dying off but trichomes are still clear. Will wait another week to see what happens. She smells very good indeed.

Have had some nice growth. The brown dotts on lower leafs have gone away(fixed the nutrients) have a stronger led light coming friday so maybe it will help the bloom.

Week 8 – Day 59 (Flower Day 29) 🔄 Recap Still using diluted osmotic water, but the drain pH remains stubbornly low – stuck between 5.6 and 5.8 📉 After trying with Canna pH+, I’ve decided to switch back to BioBizz pH+, which worked reliably in my last grow to raise pH when using Advanced Nutrients. Apparently, the combination of Canna pH+ and AN doesn’t play well together 🤔 🌿 Plant Status – White Widow 📏 Height: 110 cm – she’s still growing steadily 💡 I had to dim the LED slightly – currently around 950–1000 PPFD ✅ She’s handling the light intensity very well, no signs of stress ⚗️ Feeding at 100% Advanced Nutrients Masterline 📌 Summary White Widow looks great overall. Even with the suboptimal drain pH, no visible issues so far. Still, I’ll try to bring the pH up slightly again – BioBizz pH+ is on the way.

We will see the dry product, weight in 1 week..

She still won't stop stretching. I went and it down into my main grow room and set up an improvised grow corner. Another light that give less blue light and more space allowing to hang the light in a higher position.

Things are going well in the garden ! I ran into a small problem last week ( my fault ) things seem to be corrected and going well ! Im guessing that the stretching is pretty much done and that we are now going to be working on flower formation ! I'm very excited to see whats in the near future for these young ladies ! They smell fantastic I got 2 different phenos for sure so thats always very exciting! I'd like to thank everyone for their continued support and for following me on my grow journey's ! -Happy Growing!

Start of week 5. - She has not started flowering just yet but i expect her to bloom late in this week or early in the next. - Height=20 cm - Width=42cm 30/01-2024 - Day 29 - Watered 2l ( mixed 4ml of grow-bloom-top & calmag with 2l water) 01/02-2024 - Day 31 - She has started getting taller and have reached about 25 cm today. 03/02-2024 - Day 33 - Watered 1,5L (mixed 3ml of grow bloom top with 1.5 l water ) - Height= 28 cm - Width=45cm - 8 "floors"-16 side branches. Her stem and bottom branches look thick, able to carry water and nutrients to the future buds. Gotta love them thick fertile hips 😍 04/02-2024 - Day 34 - Pre-flower has sprung out all over the plant now and she looks like she just started flowering - i went through all her side branches gently bending the lower big leaves below the bud carrying branches, making sure no budcarrying branches would be held down by other branches. 05/02-2024 - Day 35 - Last day of the week. she has grown a couple of centimeters the past couple of days and have reached 31 cm height. She looks a little crispy on the tips so i might give her a light dosage og fertilizer tomorrow instead of the expected dosage.

Everything going okay ..

Banana purple punch RF3 auto has been developing at a steady rate the 2nd node is more developed with a tiny 3rd set of leaves can been seen for the next node have begun light bending of the stem to thicken it up and get ready for LST

About that time !!!!

The grow cycle was super, super easy. The summer was shitty as HELL. but it still produced really good buds. I don’t have a picture with flash but its sticky and shiny like a diamond!! The other plant sadly got attacked by spider mites so i had to kill it :/

So much growth. I had the 1000w light up to 100% for a bit but it's just too hot so I put it back down to 75%. Dec 19: this one has some burnt leaves. I can't exactly tell if it's nutrient burn or light burn. I switched it into the cooler spot the White Widow was in, and I added a bunch of water. This one drank maybe a third of the water since Friday, at least twice as much as the other one. The pH on this one is still reading really low but my tap water is 7.8 and the White Widow is 7.6. I'm just going to watch it before I start adding pH up. It's very strange. This one is still stretching like crazy at the main cola points. She's starting to bloom but not as much as the white widow.
