Hello fellow cannabis Gardeners, El Patron is becoming an absolute pleasure to grow and look developing her flowers... Interesting sativa with calixes like Indica I believe? It seems this one will make a better harvest than the last one I have grown, her stem is bigger and flowering sites peppered overall the stems, let's see if she needs supporting.... Fingers crossed I do not messed it up again! 😬🙃😁

🌱 Start: 17.07. 🌱 Hello everyone! This is my very first grow and I'm thrilled to share every step with you! 🎉 I'd appreciate any tips you might have to help me achieve the best results! 😊 Equipment: I've geared up with an Indoor Grow Kit from MarsHydro along with some BioBizz supplements to ensure my plants get the best care. 🌿 🌼 Seeds: I opted for Fast Buds seeds after hearing great things about them. They were delivered super fast—just two days! I’m especially excited to test the C4 strain. 🚀 I've begun soaking the seeds and setting up my space. Eagerly awaiting the transition to the next stage in a day or two! 🌱 📅 Update: 19.07. All three of my C4 seeds sprouted 1-2 cm within just 1.5 days! 🌱 It’s often recommended that autoflowers be planted directly into their final home, so I'm following that advice. I'm working on improving the air circulation in my tent to ensure the best environment for growth. 🌬️ I'm currently using 0.2L cups with big holes over the sprouts to maintain higher humidity during their initial two weeks. 💧 🎉 UPDATE 22.07. - THEY ARE ALIVE 🎉 My C4 sprouted on 20.07., and I'm overjoyed to soon share photos and a video of my little green buddy! 📸🎥 PS: My plant enjoys 2 hours of chill jazz music every day! HAHA 🎷🎶

First day of germination I'll keep you updated

Getting there tryna keep the the PM at bay,cutting main cola next week

So I'm soo excited to start this journey Firstly!! Will be growing my first FastBuds Auto Strain outdoors 😀😮.. I saw the competition..being a mostly outdoor grower here in South Africa..I just had to join! Soo I started my germination method...Taproot sticking out but not yet long enough 🙃.. Will give it another 24hrs to check on them..or shall I say in another hour 🤔 😂.. .... 6 hours later taproot sprouted successfully .. She went straight into her Jiffy Pellet.. Now gonna wait for her to show her leafs...

I was a week away… but she did not suffer ;)

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 7 | Finally Joining the Flower Party 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 environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. Every plant receives the same care, allowing genetics to become the true variable. It has been incredible watching each cultivar—and even different phenotypes of the same strain—express their own unique personality. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED. After taking her time compared to the rest of the room, this week she finally decided it was time to move forward. Sometimes patience is rewarded. And this week, she certainly rewarded it. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development This is the week I'm officially considering her first week of flowering. Although we're already seven weeks from seed, this phenotype followed her own schedule from the very beginning. While the rest of the room has been well into flower for some time, she spent longer building her structure before making the transition. The exciting part is just how quickly she has responded once flowering began. Fresh white pistils are now appearing everywhere, the tops are becoming much more defined, and every day she seems a little more committed to producing flowers. She may have arrived late... ...but she's certainly not wasting any time now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 From Slow Starter to Fast Mover One of the biggest changes this week is her overall appearance. The lighter colour from previous weeks has completely disappeared, and she now carries a rich, healthy green from top to bottom. The foliage looks vibrant, balanced and full of energy, with no signs of nutritional deficiencies. Seeing that transformation is incredibly satisfying. It confirms that sometimes all a plant really needs is time. For several weeks she was easily one of the slowest plants in the room, but once she decided to flower, her pace changed dramatically. It's almost as though she's trying to catch up with her sisters. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Structure & Personality Pheno B continues showing a very different personality compared to her sister. Both plants are actually quite similar in height, but that's where the similarities begin to fade. While Pheno A developed a more open structure, Pheno B has become much bushier and denser, producing a compact canopy with very tight internodal spacing. The Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has created a beautiful, even framework, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure despite her naturally dense growth habit. She's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She's becoming one of the fullest. It will be fascinating to see how this compact structure influences bud development over the coming weeks. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for this important transition into flowering. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Keeping these conditions stable allows each phenotype to express its own genetic potential without unnecessary environmental stress. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding As flowering begins, her feeding programme has now moved forward alongside the rest of the room. This week's nutrient solution consisted 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 richer green foliage and healthy new growth suggest she's very comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and I'll continue monitoring her closely as flower production accelerates. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs capture a plant that finally seems confident about the direction she's taking. The close-up shots show clusters of bright white pistils emerging from every growing tip, while the wider photographs reveal just how compact and symmetrical her structure has become. One thing that immediately stands out is the colour. Compared to previous weeks, the foliage is noticeably healthier, richer and more vibrant. She may have been quiet for the first part of this adventure... ...but she's beginning to steal a little attention now. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead Now that flowering has officially begun, I'm excited to see how this phenotype develops over the next few weeks. Will she remain compact and produce dense, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with a stronger flowering stretch before settling into bud production? That's one of the reasons I love documenting different phenotypes. Even sisters can tell completely different stories. Whatever happens next, she'll decide the pace—and I'll simply continue giving her everything she needs to become the best version of herself. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that growing isn't just about harvesting beautiful flowers. It's about observing, learning and appreciating the incredible diversity that exists within genetics. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document every lesson and share their experiences with such an amazing community. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Blueberry Muffin genetics. Watching two sister phenotypes develop into such different plants has been one of the highlights of this project. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow and helps these plants express their full potential. And thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire 8×8 Adventure from seed to harvest. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following along. Your support makes documenting this journey even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers everywhere. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues writing her own unique story. 💚🌱

She seems quite short. Not sure what I've done wrong. 😏

Another great week for the girls, I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed leave under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Finish wee

This week I continued with LST and while I bend down my Kush on day 39, the stem bent over. I could fix it and within some days the plant repaired the injury quite well. At the end of the week I was surprised how good she handled this big stress. This is not the most beautiful of my plants but I love her like the other ones. 😍

Bueno esta semana es la última de vida de nuestras pequeñas, un tamaño reducido y muchas juntas... pero una calidad.. dureza y resina... envidiables.. Esta semana usamos solamente agua con un ph de 6,2 y líquido solo usamos la final solution de b.a.c para limpiar nuestras raíces, al igual que aumentamos la cantidad de agua por riego para ir lavando bien nuestras raices. El olor es muy fuerte pero un aroma apetecible a más no poder... en cuanto abro el armario para los riegos y cuidados sale un olor... que si no fuera por el generador de ozono apestaría la casa!😍😋 En grandes rasgos una variedad de floración relativamente corta.. y con unos resultados impecables.. Hay una media de 5 puntas por planta y algunas incluso más!😍

Stardog room it is looking pretty good and is thriving. Hopefully get the results we asking for. Aya room up to now is giving pretty impressive results and it looks like they like the enviroment even tho its not fully equiped. After adding the c4 neet to celan the insides a little bit more and see how it will react.

And within less than 40 days she was full on flowering.... How fast will I be able to finish her?

This hybrid is the result of crossing an automatic Critical Mass strain from Sweet Seeds´ R&D Department, chosen for its fast flowering and agreeable, intense aroma, with a selected strain of very fast flowering SWS25 (Speed Devil #2 Auto®️).

I harvested on day 126. Dry Weights: Plant 1 - 89 grams Plant 2 - 95 grams Plant 3 - 112 grams Plant 4 - 121 grams Surprisingly between plants 3 and 4 I thought 3 would have weighed the most. Even though the LSTed plant yielded more I will still be mainlining due to the easy of growing and harvesting. Trimming up the big buds was way easier than a bunch of small ones. I think I over dried them a little. I added Bovdea packs to the jars to compensate which rehydrated. I wish I would have waited a bit after the curing started to add the boveda packs. Seems like the bigger buds are still a little moist in the center. Maybe some more curing will help. I thought it would have ended up as a more potent sweet smell but it did fade. Maybe it was how I dried and cured it. I vape and this has a lot of vapor and pretty smooth. Easy to relax with.

Week 9 - Fourth Week of Flower The Donutz gang is hitting its stride as the fourth week of flower unfolds. Trichomes are developing beautifully, and the plants are entering full production mode. A few challenges cropped up this week, but quick thinking and some DIY ingenuity kept everything on track. Key Updates: Trichome Progress: The resin glands are popping off, with a frosty layer forming across the developing buds. The plants are starting to show their true potential, and the tent is starting to smell. New Fan Installation: The old ventilator tapped out this week, so a replacement was installed to maintain proper airflow. This ensures the plants stay cool and prevents any issues with humidity or stagnant air. Lamp Adjustment: The front-left plant shot up too close to the light, so I had to get creative. I built a DIY solution to raise the lamp higher, ensuring even coverage and preventing light stress. Accident Recovery: During the light adjustment, I initially tried securing the front-left plant with a rubber band. Concerned it might melt, I removed it, but in the process, the main stem got damaged. Thankfully, the plant is a fighter. The main cola is now growing sideways but remains fully healthy and strong. This unexpected twist has added some character to the tent, and the plant is bouncing back beautifully. Observations: Despite the challenges, all plants are thriving, with strong growth and healthy bud development. The sideways-growing cola on the front-left plant is a unique highlight, showing the resilience of the Donutz genetics. Next Steps: Keep monitoring airflow and light height to avoid any further issues. Continue with the nutrient schedule and reverse osmosis (RO) watering to maintain stability. Watch the trichomes closely as they continue to mature, signaling the start of the final phases of flower. The Florida Gang grind is real, and the Donutz are proving their worth week after week. This tent is shaping up to be a legendary grow!
