🌱 Godfather OG (Zamnesia) | Pheno A | Week 4 The adventure continues… Every week this project reminds me why I love growing from seed. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients, the same lighting and exactly the same environment, each phenotype writes its own story. That’s exactly what this diary is about. This is Godfather OG – Pheno A from Zamnesia, grown as part of my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different genetics are all being cultivated using the 12/12 from seed method. The goal isn’t to chase massive vegetative plants, but to discover each cultivar’s natural expression while keeping everything under identical conditions. Week 4 has been all about building structure. The roots are now well established, the branches are strengthening, and the plant is beginning to reveal the architecture that will support the coming stretch. Every day she becomes a little easier to read, and so far she’s telling a very promising story. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development This phenotype has developed into a beautiful, compact plant with excellent vigor. The overall colour is rich and healthy, while the newest growth shows that vibrant lime-green tone typical of fast, actively dividing tissue. One thing that immediately catches my attention is how symmetrical she is becoming. The internodal spacing remains tight, producing a dense canopy filled with potential flowering sites. The stem is noticeably thick and sturdy, which is always something I like to see before entering the real flowering stretch. Strong foundations usually lead to strong harvests. Large fan leaves are doing an incredible job powering photosynthesis while shading portions of the canopy that aren’t yet ready for full exposure. Overall, she looks calm, healthy and completely comfortable in her environment. ⸻ 🌱 Low Stress Training & Leaf Tucking Training this week remained focused on Low Stress Training (LST). Instead of removing leaves, I’m continuing to gently reposition branches and tuck larger fan leaves underneath developing shoots. This simple technique allows more light to reach secondary growth without sacrificing valuable solar panels. The beauty of leaf tucking is that nothing is permanently removed. The plant keeps all of its energy-producing leaves while the lower branches receive enough light to begin competing for canopy space. Every day the branches become a little more flexible and easier to position. As they continue to harden, they’ll naturally hold their new shape, creating a wider and more even canopy. It’s a slow process, but one that consistently pays off later in flower. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program The nutrition remains simple and consistent. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution adjustments: * pH: 6.1 * EC: 1.35 mS/cm Nothing dramatic has changed because there simply isn’t any need to fix something that is already working. The plant is responding beautifully, producing vigorous new growth without any signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. The root zone appears very healthy, allowing the canopy to expand steadily every day. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues to perform exceptionally well despite the warm weather. Environmental conditions • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution temperature: 26°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C While daytime temperatures are certainly on the higher side, maintaining stable humidity, good airflow and constant irrigation allows the plants to continue growing without showing signs of heat stress. Healthy roots make an enormous difference during warmer periods, and so far this room is handling those conditions remarkably well. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to continue guiding the canopy through gentle LST while allowing the secondary branches to catch up with the main leaders. If she continues developing at this pace, she should enter the flowering stretch with an even canopy, excellent branch distribution and plenty of future bud sites already exposed to light. For now, patience remains the best training technique. ⸻ 🚀 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Growing directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed continues to be one of the most fascinating experiments I’ve ever undertaken. Every phenotype responds differently. Some stretch early, others remain compact, while others completely surprise me halfway through the cycle. That’s exactly why I enjoy documenting every single plant individually. Watching each phenotype express its unique personality under identical conditions teaches me far more than simply chasing yield. Every week brings another lesson, and every diary becomes another chapter in that learning process. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey, whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve just discovered the diary. Thank you to those who leave kind comments, ask thoughtful questions, share knowledge, and even to the critics who encourage me to keep improving.

Until next week… Growers Love and Happy growing! 🌱💚

Girls are packing on weight, the bushy girl WW1 (the only red 1)is definitely behind the rest in terms of flowering, kinda shitty as it’s the only one showing significant stress from the cold nights. Found some powdery mildew on 2/4 girls. Mixed up 10ml Apple cider vinegar with 1 quart of water and gave the infected leaves a spray, over sprayed on the buds hopefully that’s fine. PM seemed to instantly disappear, I will continue to monitor. It’s definitely from the drastic temp changes, 3 at night and 25 during the day. The midget has some flowers now, no nutes, no trimming and it’s a dense bush. Showing no signs of stress or PM. Maybe she will live well into the cold and produce some harvestable bud, we’ll see! Fall is around the corner!

Tiny bud sites are forming all over the place now, and I’m really excited to see how the flowers will stack up over the next couple of weeks. The plants are still looking a bit limey, so the colour isn’t quite where I’d like it to be yet — but they’re clearly moving in the right direction and putting energy into the right places. My approach from here is to stay patient and not overreact: keep the environment stable, continue with mild, consistent feeding, monitor the new growth closely, and avoid making too many changes at once. At this stage, I think a calm and steady hand makes more sense than chasing perfection. If the fresh growth improves and the bud sites keep developing, I’ll be happy. Stats so far: 💧 Watering: Every third day 🌡️ Temp: 26–28°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.18 kPa 💡 Light: ~700 PPFD

The leaves are starting to fade and the shortest of the three has had her pistils start to turn and is getting dense while putting on weight. They have that “northern lights” aroma that is a personal favorite of mine. It’s time for the fox farms beastie bloomz for a week or two.

Woche 3 Anfang der Woche, an Tag16 bekamen alle vier Ladys ein topping. Alle vier Ladys haben das topping sehr gut überstanden und haben schöne Seitentriebe entwickelt. Alle Ladys haben ein sehr kräftiges Wachstum und wachsen fleißig. Bis auf minimale Höhenunterschiede, weisen alle ein bisher ein recht gleichmäßiges Wachstum auf. Mitte der Woche wurden die beiden unteren Paare Fanleaves entfernt und an Tag 21 dann auch das obere Paar. In der kommenden Woche gibt es nur noch leichtes LST. Alle Triebe werden so gebunden das kein Trieb über dem anderen liegt und alle Triebe gleichmäßig an Licht kommen. Viel Zeit bleibt dann auch nicht mehr bis es in die Blüte gehen muss um rechtzeitig fertig zu werden. Der VPD war in dieser Woche halbwegs optimal. Die Temperatur im Zelt war tagsüber um 24-25°C und die Luftfeuchtigkeitum die 60-65%. Angestrebt in diesem Stadium sind 60-70% Luftfeuchtigkeit und ungefähr 25-26°C. VPD: 0.6-0.9 kPa ________________________________ Düngen : Gegossen wird mit Wasser das 24/7 mit einer Aquariumpumpe in einer 10L Gießkanne in Bewegung gehalten wird. Davon wird soviel genommen wie es die Ladys verlangen und mit dem einen oder anderen Zusatz versetzt. Je nach Stadium der der Ladys. Ab ungefähr Woche 5 wird mit 10% vom Topfvolumen gegossen. Das ganze wird in zwei bis drei Teilen mit einem Abstand von 20-30min gegossen. Tag15 gab es nach dem anfeuchten der Oberfläche vom Substrat 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.0 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 450ml. Tag 17 gab es 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.0 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 450ml. Tag 20 gab es 1ml/L PowerRoots, 1ml/L PureZym und 1g/L BioEnhancer als Zusatz. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.1 gebracht. Jede Lady bekam 400ml in den Topf und 100ml Wasser mit ph-Wert 6.0 in den Untersetzer damit im Substrat keine trocknen Stellen entstehen. ________________________________ Höhe gemessen ab Substratoberfläche #1   14cm #2   19cm #3   14.5cm #4   14cm Licht Watt:        60W (50%) Abstand: 40cm ppfd:        350 DLI:           24

Biggest Autoflower Ever - Pineapple Express was the GOAT. 479 Grams Dry Weight, 78 Days from seed to Harvest Was a big surprise having almost a HALF KILOGRAM FROM AUTOFLOWER, Always thought 500 grams per square meter description was a legend but no, IT CAN BE TRUE Good luck to all my grower fellas, I will not stop on growing in hydro, even tho half of this run was in handmade hydro. It was my third hydro Grow and I see the Improvement Last one was only 300 Grams dry weight Strawberry Banana from FB Pinepple Express itself is a 10/10 strain, it says mostly Indica but feels like the best Sativa I have ever tried, great pineapple smell and taste, hits like Mike Tyson, perfect strain and YUMMY as hell, loved it, will grow it again probably as it's not only mine favorite strain. Cheers Fellas, good grows and big yields to everyone!

Beautiful Lady is looking healthy.

Nice lemon terps

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.

2022-02-15 Sweet Puddin is maturating, Buds are swelling, Pisitls are changing slowly. she has a good Number of weeks ahead, iam guessing for 4 more, we will see She has grown wonderful, still happy and Green Feedings once in the week , waterings every 3rd day or second day...depends in how thirsty she is Visit her on Instagram, to create Likes for the Charity grow we do. @Weedseedsexpress donates every Month 100 Euro for Woman in Need If we reach enough Likes, they add 500 Euro in the end of the Growoff so pls help us

The bud development is going great, did some light defoliation to reduce the humidity and increase the airflow. The tips are turning a bit yellow, the light was a bit close due to the recent grow. Moved the light up a bit. Too make sure it’s not a nute burn I also decreased the Nutrients solution compared to last week.

Se agregó la malla scrog se paso a floración, no pude obtener la malla con más tiempo asique ya no tenia mas tiempo para rellenar. Pero con el lst se busco el mismo objetivo y pasamos a 12/12 primera semana de floracion

WOW! I'm sure these two have reached the nutes because they sure have taken off. The second one finally came into herself after I backed down the water. Hopefully I'll be able to just refill the autopot when needed for now. I can really see the growth every day. Just a little fan leaf tucking. I put the lower fan on now too add a breeze and strengthen branches.

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition! Flush time, just water for LSD, Green Crack and Mandarin dreams!! Do-si-dos gets another week of feed before flush. I'm very impressed with the bud sizes, trichomes and smell of each plant, mandarin dreams is especially ooozing with resin, it's almost like liquid soap touching your skin. The Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light has been killing it! This light delivers way more than expected! Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time 👽🌳💚

Hey everyone 😃. Due to the lack of space in the flower tent at the moment, I decided to use a delayed LST for the 2 women 🙂. So I can let them grow again in the next 30 days until there is room in the flower tent 😄👍. I'm curious to see how they will recover, and I think that growth will continue in the next 48 hours 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow ☘️🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/sweet-skunk-f1-fast-version/ Type: Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Sweet Skunk Auto (SWS34) X Early Skunk 👍 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 Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
