Hi everybody week 1 into vegetation stage started feeding expert nutrients the whole line for the grow stage I use 0.3 ml to 1L of everything witch gives me a nice 320 PPM I have found perfect for their first feed. Can't wait how to see she goes and thank you for looking at the diary there will be updates every week and always remember it's 420 somewhere πŸ‘πŸŒ±

Only 3/4 sprouted so I’m going with that. I don’t have any extra seeds. I am very happy tho because my last grow 4 was a lot in my setup. I want to see how much I can train 3 plants and how much bigger I can get them. I also have to order seeds this run and get more soil. Very excited

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floraciΓ³n de estas Mandarin Panties feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lΓ­o, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco estΓ‘ al 70% de potencia. Me gustarΓ­a estar mΓ‘s encima este cultivo pero la salud me estΓ‘ impidiendo un poco este 100% con el proyecto. Con suerte la semana que viene andarΓ© mejor. - os dejo por aquΓ­ un CΓ“DIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquΓ­ todo, Buenos humos πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨

Day 43. Girls are really nice, stretching, forming, growing ... A bit pale, but i always try not to overfeed during grows now. I don't know whats wrong with those Royal Cookies, they grow like shit. Last bean sits in pot without food for more than 5 weeks, still all mutated and a bit overwatered, despite all this Royal Gorilla clone is almost dieing from hunger and shows no signs of over/watering/feeding. Crap genetics 100%. One-two weeks and all Autos going in. Most girls are in preflower, but Whiteys are real fast runners, they are blooming already. Day 46. All autos in full bloom. RQS pot got heavy training. Food is changing. RQS pot and mini clones will stay till autumn in greenhouse. I will choose soon which plant to leave in each pot. Heavy training will start soon aswell. Day 47. Heavy training on RQS pot and feed to all. Autos gets bloom mix. Hope after so much time this Cookie won't go hermie. She still grows stressed and not normal. Happy growing !

Into Week 8 now and really filling out. A good solid healthy outdoor plant with little to no extra care or intervention so far, really happy with it and excited to see how it finishes out. Scratched in some Coast of Maine Fish Bone Meal toward the end of the week and then lightly watered in for a little feed.

πŸ‘‘ 8Γ—8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Godfather OG – Pheno B πŸ’¨ Big Mama Is Still Here… And She's Getting Louder πŸ‘‘πŸŒΈπŸ”₯ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š And yes... I have a confession. πŸ˜‚ This week, I got distracted by her sister. Because while Godfather OG Pheno A decided to make herself VERY known with her smell... I was apparently too busy paying attention to the loud girl. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ’¨ And somehow... Big Mama Pheno B escaped the camera. Again. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈβŒ So no dedicated photo session for her this week. But before anyone thinks we've forgotten about this beautiful girl... NO. Absolutely not. She's right there. She's clearly visible in the room footage. And honestly, anyone who has been following this diary already knows exactly who she is. She's Big Mama. She's big. She's beautiful. She's present. She's substantial. She's doing exactly what she has been doing throughout this entire journey. And she's still looking damn good. πŸ‘‘πŸŒΏπŸŒΈ So this week we're going to do something slightly different. No photo gallery. No individual portraits. Just a little reminder that the Big Mama is still standing there in the jungle... doing her thing... and quietly becoming louder herself. Let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ WEEK 13 – BIG MAMA IS STILL BIG MAMA If you've been following this diary from the beginning, you already know this girl. You don't need me to introduce her. You know who she is. Godfather OG Pheno B. Our Big Mama. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‘πŸŒΏ She's one of those plants where you don't need a close-up photograph to recognize her. You see her in the room footage... and immediately: "There she is." πŸ˜‚ She's got presence. She's got size. She's got structure. She's got flowers. She's got that unmistakable Godfather OG personality. And even though this week doesn't have her usual collection of dedicated photographs, she hasn't disappeared. Not even close. She's still right there. Still developing. Still filling her space. Still moving toward the final stages. And still looking beautiful. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ YES… WE MISSED THE PHOTO SESSION Let's just admit it. πŸ˜‚ This week... the camera didn't make it to Big Mama. Somehow, I got distracted with her sister and the whole "WHO THE HELL IS MAKING THIS MUCH SMELL?" situation. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ”₯ And by the time I realized it... the dedicated photo session was already gone. So instead of pretending otherwise, we're simply documenting it honestly. There are no dedicated photos of Pheno B this week. But she is clearly visible in the room videos. And if you've been following these reports... you know exactly what you're looking at. You know her structure. You know her position. You know her size. You know those flowers. You know Big Mama. πŸ‘‘πŸŒΏ And next week? She's getting her full photographic treatment again. Promise. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT IS STILL DOING HER THING And honestly... that's probably the most important part. The missing photographs don't mean anything changed in the plant. She's still developing. Still flowering. Still maturing. Still filling her space. Still doing what she has been doing for weeks. We're now deep into the later flowering stage, and the plant is increasingly focused on finishing what she started. The structure is already established. The flowers are there. The plant has spent the entire grow building herself. Now we're watching that work mature. And Big Mama is doing exactly that. Quietly. Consistently. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ SHE'S STILL GOT PRESENCE Some plants you have to search for. Not this girl. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‘ Even in the room footage... she stands out. She's big. She's substantial. She's got flowers everywhere. And she has that presence that we've been talking about since the beginning. That's one of the reasons I gave her the nickname Big Mama in the first place. She earned it. And she still does. She's not suddenly becoming smaller because we forgot to photograph her. πŸ˜‚ She's still occupying her space. She's still making herself noticed. And she's still one of those girls that you look at when you walk into the room. "Yep." There's Big Mama. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL Even without this week's close-up gallery, the room footage gives us enough of a look to see that the flowers are continuing their development. They're becoming more mature. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The plant is progressing toward the final stages. And when you know this phenotype from the previous weeks, you can recognize her expression immediately. That's something I really love about these individual diaries. After twelve-plus weeks of watching a plant... you learn her. You don't need a label every time. You know the structure. You know the way she fills the room. You know the way her flowers develop. You know her personality. And Big Mama has become one of those plants for me. ──────────────────────── πŸ’¨ AND WHAT ABOUT THE SMELL? Now... this is where things get interesting. Because after being distracted by her sister... I started comparing. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒ And I have to say... Pheno B is definitely not silent. She's not as loud as her sister. Or at least... she doesn't seem to be right now. Her aroma isn't hitting me in quite the same way. But... the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty damn sure she's getting louder by the day. πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯πŸ‘ƒ That's what I'm noticing. She's developing her own aromatic presence. Maybe she's simply taking her time. Maybe she's going to surprise us later. Maybe her sister is just naturally more aggressive with the aroma. Or maybe... Big Mama is simply warming up. πŸ˜‚ And if she keeps increasing at this rate... we might have another loud girl on our hands. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘ƒ SAME FAMILY – DIFFERENT VOLUME This is another beautiful little lesson from the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Two phenotypes. Same general genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environment. And yet... different expressions. Even the aroma can tell us something. Pheno A is currently making herself VERY obvious. Pheno B? She's more reserved. For now. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒ But the underlying profile feels similar. And that's exactly the sort of thing I love seeing. Because we're not simply asking: "What does Godfather OG smell like?" We're asking: "What does THIS Godfather OG phenotype smell like?" And then... "What does her sister smell like?" And suddenly the answer becomes much more interesting. ──────────────────────── πŸ’š BIG MAMA IS STILL LOOKING HEALTHY Despite this week's photographic failure... she's still giving us a beautiful overall impression. She's still carrying herself well. She's still developing. She's still got that substantial structure. And she's still doing exactly what we want her to do at this stage: Finish. There's no reason to manufacture work. There's no reason to interfere just because we don't have a camera in our hands. πŸ˜‚ Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply observe. And when we look at Big Mama... she's telling us she's okay. She's continuing forward. ──────────────────────── βš—οΈ THE NUTRITION IS STILL MOVING TOWARD THE FINISH As with the rest of the room, we're continuing the gradual transition toward the later stages. The mineral base has already been reduced. Terra Bloom is around: 🌱 2.0 ml/L with the room EC around: ⚑ ~2.05 mS/cm The approach remains gradual. No dramatic overnight changes. No "everything stops tomorrow." Just a progressive transition while we watch the plants. And Big Mama is still actively developing. So we're watching her. Listening to her. And allowing her to finish in her own rhythm. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING The upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup remains in place. Two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. Controlled output. Approximately: πŸ”Œ 59% power from the plug With approximately: β˜€οΈ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Big Mama is still right underneath that artificial sun. And she's still doing what she has always done... turning photons into plant. πŸ˜‚β˜€οΈπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘ More capability. More control. Same room. Same experiment. Different genetic response. That's the 8Γ—8. ──────────────────────── β˜€οΈ BIG PLANT – THREE-DIMENSIONAL LIGHT And once again, Big Mama is a perfect example of why I don't think about lighting as simply: "How much light does the tent get?" She's a big, three-dimensional plant. Different flowers are at different heights. Different leaves are positioned differently. Different parts of the canopy receive different amounts of direct light. The upper canopy is around that ~1,500 PPFD range. Deeper areas naturally receive less. And the Lumiflora lighting continues giving us another layer deeper into that structure. We're not lighting a flat table. We're lighting a jungle. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΏβ˜€οΈ And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of her space. ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT ANSWERS This remains the heart of the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental philosophy. Shared lighting. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. One grower. And twelve completely different answers. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us hers. She's big. She's vigorous. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing quickly. And now... she's becoming increasingly aromatic. Maybe not as loud as her sister. Yet. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ”₯ But definitely heading in that direction. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ NEXT WEEK, SHE'S GETTING HER SPOTLIGHT BACK And I promise... next week we're correcting the photographic crime. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ‘‘ Big Mama will be back with: 🌿 Full-plant photographs 🌸 Flower portraits πŸ’Ž Close-ups πŸ“Έ Her individual progression πŸ‘‘ Her full spotlight Because she deserves it. This week was simply one of those weird moments where the camera went toward one sister... and somehow forgot the other. It happens. We're human. πŸ˜‚ But Big Mama isn't going anywhere. She's right there. Still shining. Still growing. Still beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌑️ WEEK 13 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8Γ—8 continues under the same general setup: 🌸 Flowering β€” Week 13 πŸ’‘ Light schedule β€” 12/12 β˜€οΈ Upper-canopy PPFD β€” ~1,500 πŸ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output β€” ~59% from the plug 🌑️ Day temperature β€” ~26.5–27Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature β€” ~25–26Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity β€” ~60–61% 🌱 Substrate temperature β€” ~25–26Β°C πŸ’¦ Nutrient solution temperature β€” ~25Β°C βš—οΈ pH β€” approximately 6.0 ⚑ EC β€” ~2.05 mS/cm πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚ β€” ~693 ppm πŸ’§ Irrigation β€” ~1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h 🌱 Pot size β€” 15 L Same room. Same environment. Same artificial sun. Same irrigation. Same nutritional transition. Different Big Mama. And she's still doing beautifully. ──────────────────────── πŸ’¨ IS BIG MAMA GOING TO GET LOUDER? That's now another question I'm genuinely curious about. Because I think she is. Her sister is currently stealing the aromatic spotlight. No question. πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯πŸ‘ƒ But Pheno B has a very similar profile. And I'm noticing more and more presence from her as the days pass. So I'm not counting her out. Not even remotely. Maybe she's just taking the scenic route. Maybe she needs a little more time. Maybe her final expression will surprise us. That's the fun part. We don't know yet. And I'm not going to invent an ending before the plant gives us one. Let's watch. Let's smell. Let's document. And eventually... let's find out. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FINAL CHAPTERS ARE GETTING CLOSER We're getting deeper into the run now. The flowers are established. The plants are mature. The colours are changing. The resin is becoming more visible. And the nutritional programme is beginning its gradual transition. Big Mama is moving along with the rest of the room. Some girls are ahead. Some are behind. Some are louder. Some are quieter. Some are changing colour. Some are staying greener. And that's exactly why this project has been so much fun. There's no single timeline. There's twelve. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED A PHOTO TO BE BIG MAMA This week has actually reminded me of something. The photographs are important. They're documentation. They're the visual record. But they're not the plant. The plant is still there. And when you have followed her for twelve weeks... you know her. You recognize her. You know what you're looking at. And Big Mama is one of those girls. She's unmistakable. She's substantial. She's beautiful. She's present. She's doing exactly what she can do. And honestly... that's enough. The photographs will come next week. For now... we let her shine in the room footage. πŸ‘‘πŸŒΏπŸ’š ──────────────────────── ❀️ FINAL THOUGHTS – THE BIG MAMA IS STILL SHINING Week 13. And yes... we got distracted. πŸ˜‚ Her sister started making enough noise with her aroma to steal the attention for a moment. And somehow... Big Mama lost her photo session. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‘πŸ“Έ But the good news? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still present. She's still developing. She's still filling her space. She's still carrying those beautiful flowers. And she's still becoming increasingly aromatic. She's not as loud as her sister... at least not yet. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒ But the profile is very similar. And I'm pretty convinced she's getting louder by the day. So perhaps we're simply watching the beginning of another aromatic story. And that's something I'm very interested in. Because this girl has already shown us so much. She's been one of the substantial plants in this room from the beginning. She's been vigorous. She's been beautiful. She's claimed her space. She's developed her own expression. And now... she's approaching the final chapter. So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's simply watch. And next week... we bring the camera back. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ‘‘ Big Mama gets her full spotlight again. Because she deserves it. Until then... Keep shining, Big Mama. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. Keep filling that corner. Keep developing those beautiful flowers. And keep getting louder. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ’¨πŸ‘‘ We're watching. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone following the 8Γ—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. πŸ’šπŸŒ± Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Godfather OG genetics and document these individual phenotypes throughout the journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this run. 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. More lighting capability. More control. More photons. And another fascinating variable for this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to think about this garden as the three-dimensional space that it really is. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following these girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this crazy adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Twelve completely different stories. And Godfather OG Pheno B? She's still writing hers as Big Mama. πŸ‘‘πŸŒΏπŸŒΈπŸ’Ž This week she may not have had the dedicated photographs she deserved... but she's still right there. Still big. Still beautiful. Still present. Still developing. Still shining. And possibly... getting louder. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ”₯ Next week... we bring the camera back. Big Mama gets her portraits. Her close-ups. Her flower shots. Her full report. And the spotlight goes right back where it belongs. On her. πŸ‘‘πŸ’šπŸŒΈ Until next week... Growers Love, my friends. πŸŒ±πŸ’š Happy growing, take care everyone... and Big Mama? I'm sorry about the camera. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ‘‘ We'll make it up to you next week. See you next week in the 8Γ—8 jungle. 🌿πŸ”₯πŸ‘‘πŸ’¨

I like the smell that comes out of the tent, now there are another fastbuds genetics (Blackberry & Cherry Cola) it grows really fast and only with LST and defoliating there get massiv Buds.

Hello everyone, The 3 mac1 f1 hybrids plants are bouncing back from nutrient deficiencies, I'm lowering the amount of nutrients i feed to the plants. I'm running 3 weeks behind schedule with the plant in the 3 liter pot as i have no room for a bigger pot in the tent. I'm going into flower at week 11 for now I am focusing in root development. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Geowfather

On day 1 the girls are doing well. Many preflowers showing and the plants are stretching a little every day. On day 2 the reservoir is almost empty. The plants are praying and growing well. On day 3 I changed out the reservoir. I also lolli popped and defoliated the plants to focus energy on productive bud sites. I set up my carbon filter mixing chamber, which is a box where I feed my exhaust ducting from my grow box and have it meet up with my carbon filter in the mixing chamber, then is scrubbed and sent out the chamber. I have to do it this way because I don't have space in the grow box for the carbon filter to be hung. I'm excited to see these two different phenos, I know which one I'm leaning towards so far ;) On day 4 I defoliated once again. I also applied BTI as a fungus gnat larva preventative. on day 5 adjusted ph in reservoir to 6.1. On day 6 flower clusters are forming on tops of plants. stretch seems to be slowing down which seems soon but we will see ;). On day 7 the girls are doing well.

D89 (18/02/2021): Copy paste of last week... I think max one week and she is done 😁 I gave around 2L of tap water. Glue Gelato is dry and in jar since one week. I did not move back Banana Kush in the tent since I was sure it was her last week. At this point I should have move her back in the tent. I think being in the closet might have slow her down since there is no reflective wall but at least the environment conditions are good. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 2L of tap water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D90 (19/02/2021): I can definitely see more resin gland forming on buds and can also tell that the calyx are swelling nicely. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D91 (20/02/2021): I gave 1.75L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 1.75L, PH7.5 - RH in the closet: 33-35% D92 (21/02/2021): I checked the trichomes and they are more abundant. It's beautiful to see the buds becoming frostier day by day 😍 - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D93 (22/02/2021): She is starting to show some amber trichomes but not enough. I will let her some days to ripen but she is close to harvest! - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D94 (23/02/2021): I gave 3L of tap water. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - water: 3L, PH7.5, 130PPM - RH in the closet: 33-35% D95 (24/02/2021): Trichomes are all cloudy with some ambers. Due to a timing issue, I will need to chop her this weekend in two or three days. Yesterday I did reduce light intensity to 50% power. She will pass 2 days with this light intensity and then 2 days in complete darkness. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D96 (25/02/2021): I will not change for week 14 since she is going into darkness tonight for two more days. Trichomes are not exactly where I would like. More ambers would be better but at least they are all milky white with some amber. She's at her peek in term of THC potency. - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 33-35% D97 (26/02/2021): 24h into complete darkness is done - temp in the closet: 18-21C - no water - RH in the closet: 35-40%

one more week up we go and Defoliation time as come and i want to share with you a technique that I've found to be really helpful for improving the quality and yield of my plants: defoliation. Now, I know that the idea of removing some of your plant's leaves might sound a bit counterintuitive or even scary, but hear me out. Defoliation can actually be a wonderful way to show your plants some love and help them reach their full potential. One of the main benefits of defoliation is that it can improve the airflow and light penetration throughout your plant. By removing some of the larger fan leaves that can block light and air circulation, you can ensure that your plant is getting all the nutrients and energy it needs to thrive. Plus, defoliation can help your plant produce bigger and denser buds. By redirecting its energy towards bud production instead of leaf growth, you can achieve a more bountiful harvest with higher-quality buds that are rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. And, as an added bonus, defoliation can even help to prevent the growth of harmful pathogens like mold, which can thrive in warm, humid environments. By increasing air circulation through your plant, defoliation can help to reduce the humidity levels in your grow space and keep your plants healthy and happy. So, if you're looking for a way to give your Girls some extra love and attention, I highly recommend trying out defoliation. With a gentle touch and some careful pruning, you can help your plants reach their full potential and enjoy a bountiful harvest of beautiful, high-quality buds. Oh, and she loved the leaves falling off, haha! She took it in stride, as if it were no big deal. Just love how this one meditates with me all the time , Big Namaste to her and to the creators of this madame Le Freak As always thank you all for stopping by , for the love and for it all, i fell blessed to have you all with me for one more love journey, and a different one form the rest i did so far <3 <3 <3 Thank you Thank you Thank you , you guys are great and have been amazing , thank you for everything <3<3<3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dogdoctorofficial #growerslove
