New light this week! Not sure what I should expect. I fed the girls early on, but think the feed levels were too strong as they showed signs of pH imbalance again. Flushed them with water, tested pH, low and behold pH too low. After flushing fed with a lighter nutrient mix, which they have both enjoyed since. By the end of the week, it's obvious these girls like the new light. It's promoted some new growth and more bud sites, which will hopefully increase the overall yield. Going to be fun watching them fatten up over the next couple of weeks or so.

Another great week goto keep defoliating every few days still more LST trying to open her out a little more it's drinking loads and buds are starting to show some signs of trichomes 😊decided to up the nutrients to 1.5 m per L and put explode in this week hopefully she likes it 😀

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Great week for me! 😃 Finally got my new lights installed in the tent. They're working just as advertised. Ladies are absolutely in love with them and they're showing it in their growth. There's a bunch a new growth and the canopy is starting to take shape. Environment is great, Things are working out smoothly. Hope you all have a great week! Happy Growing! 😃

Week 2 of the flowering phase flew by 🌱💨. Unfortunately, I may have overdone it with potassium or kept the water level too high – the classic signs of clawing leaves were evident. Thankfully, they seem to be recovering now and are back under control 💪🍃. My IR night experiment is showing clear results 🌌: The plants exposed to infrared radiation at night stretched significantly more. This might be especially beneficial for this indica-dominant strain as it leads to better canopy distribution, improved airflow, and reduced risks of mold and disease. Plus, the light distribution is much more efficient now, which I’m excited to see pay off. On the downside, my Orange Sherbert turned hermaphroditic 😔. It’s hard to pinpoint the cause – overfertilization seems unlikely since I’m using only organic nutrients. I suspect it might be linked to an E-field experiment I’ve been running. To confirm this theory, I’ll conduct a new grow with a similar strain next year to see if the electric field negatively impacts cannabis development. Stay tuned for updates! Drop a like and follow along for more grow insights 🌿✨. See you next week! Woche 2 der Blütephase ist wie im Flug vergangen 🌱💨. Leider habe ich wohl etwas zu viel Kalium gegeben oder den Wasserstand zu hoch gehalten – die typischen Anzeichen von Adlerkrallen waren sichtbar. Zum Glück scheinen sich diese jetzt zurückzubilden und sind wieder unter Kontrolle 💪🍃. Mein IR-Nachtexperiment zeigt bereits deutliche Ergebnisse 🌌: Die Pflanzen, die nachts mit Infrarotstrahlung bestrahlt wurden, haben deutlich stärker gestretcht. Das ist besonders bei dieser indica-dominanten Sorte wahrscheinlich von Vorteil, da es zu einer besseren Verteilung des Blätterdachs führt. Dadurch verbessert sich die Luftzirkulation, das Risiko von Schimmel und Krankheiten wird minimiert, und die Lichtverteilung wird effizienter. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das weiter auswirkt! Leider hat meine Orange Sherbert gezwittert 😔. Woran das genau liegt, kann ich schwer sagen. Eine Überdüngung halte ich für unwahrscheinlich, da ich nur biologischen Dünger verwendet habe. Ich vermute, dass mein E-Feld-Experiment eine Rolle spielt. Um das zu bestätigen, werde ich nächstes Jahr einen neuen Durchlauf mit einer ähnlichen Sorte machen und prüfen, ob das elektrische Feld tatsächlich eine ungünstige Rückentwicklung der Pflanze verursacht. Bleibt dran, lasst ein Like da und folgt mir für weitere Updates 🌿✨. Bis nächste Woche!

Mimosa is putting on some serious weight, extremely vigorous. so far i’m feeding it twice a week with a teaspoon of Biocity bloom and nova bloom and a half teaspoon of biocity silica

Filled in nicely after all cropping was done.Mostly the bottom and midsection show great development. I've had them on a 16 hr schedule for a few weeks I think I'll flip the lights to 13/11 tonight. Trying something different in lowering the daylight time gradually to a final end of flowering light/dark of 10/14.

7/3/25 She is doing great, really happy with her growth the past 2 weeks. The watertemp is a little to high for my liking but I have no AC and we have to manage with the temps for another few days. It doesnt seem to bother her. Every 10 days I do a res change. Feeding is at 50% strength still and the roots are looking very good. 7/7/25 Aaaaaaand she is taking off. Stem is getting thicc and strong and the roots are healthy and shiny white. 7/10/25 Doing very well! Lots of new growth. Glnna flip in a week or two.

Week 10 , pH Perfect Connoisseur Bloom Part A ( 1 ml/L ) pH Perfect Connoisseur Bloom Part B ( 1 ml/L ) CarboLoad Liquid ( 2 ml/L ) Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra ( 2 ml/L ) Sensizym ( 2 ml/L ) Bio-Heaven ( 2 ml/L ) Overdrive ( 2 ml/L) Nirvana (2 ml/L)

21.07. Harvested 1 small plant + majority of middle plant. And tried sample of last weeks dry out trial. What a great smoke, very mellow smoke, intense high.

6plants So good & one genetic error or I don’t know how But I care

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 5 | Elegance in Every Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a true phenotype hunt is discovering how differently each individual plant expresses herself, even when every variable remains exactly the same. Same genetics. Same lighting. Same environment. Same feeding philosophy. Yet every plant tells her own story. Godfather OG Pheno B is proving that perfectly. While some of her sisters are building broader, bushier canopies, this lady has chosen elegance over width, reaching confidently toward the lights with long, graceful branches and beautifully spaced flowering sites. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply becoming herself. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🌱 The Journey So Far If this is your first visit to this diary, welcome! Every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than extending the vegetative stage before inducing flowering, every seed has lived under twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from the very first day. That means I never decide when flowering begins. The plants do. Each phenotype follows its own internal clock, revealing its own pace and personality. It's one of the reasons this project has become such an incredible learning experience. Watching sister plants develop into completely different individuals under identical conditions never stops amazing me. 🌸 Week One of Flower This week marks what I consider Week One of Flower. The transition is now unmistakable. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every growing tip, quietly announcing that the plant has shifted her priorities from building stems and leaves to creating flowers. These tiny white hairs may seem insignificant today... …but they are the first chapter of every future cola. Every morning seems to bring another cluster of pistils, another little burst of growth, and another reminder of how quickly this stage evolves. It's one of my favourite moments in the entire cultivation cycle. The excitement is only just beginning. 🌿 A Structure Built for Success Now standing close to 96 cm, Pheno B has become one of the tallest ladies in the room. Rather than producing a dense, compact canopy, she's expressing a wonderfully open architecture. Long internodal spacing. Strong central stem. Healthy side branching. Excellent airflow. Instead of fighting her natural shape, I've simply allowed her to develop the way she wanted. No aggressive training. No heavy defoliation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there to improve light penetration while letting the plant write her own story. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the plant's way. The result is an elegant framework where every future flowering site has room to breathe and access to plenty of light. 💧 Hand Watering — Every Plant, Every Decision Unlike some of her sisters growing on AutoPots, Pheno B continues to be hand-watered. There's something incredibly rewarding about this approach. Every watering becomes an opportunity to slow down. To observe. To inspect every leaf. To notice the smallest changes before they become problems. Rather than simply feeding the plant, hand watering encourages a closer relationship with her development. As flowering begins, the nutrition program continues its gradual transition toward bloom production. Bloom nutrients are now taking a larger role while enough nitrogen remains available to support the final stretch before the plant fully dedicates her energy to building flowers. Everything is progressing exactly as planned. 🌡️ Environment — Consistency Creates Confidence The room continues delivering stable conditions that allow every phenotype to perform at her best. Current averages include: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • ? Root zone: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 24°C • 🌿 CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfection every day, I focus on maintaining consistency. Healthy plants don't just grow because they're fed well. They thrive because they're never forced to constantly adapt to changing conditions. A stable environment allows the plant to spend her energy growing instead of recovering. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a plant that's confidently stepping into her flowering journey. Full-length portraits highlight her elegant vertical structure and balanced branching. Close-up images showcase the first clusters of bright white pistils appearing across multiple flowering sites. Several photographs also reveal the open architecture that has naturally developed through gentle guidance rather than heavy intervention. Every branch seems eager to join the race toward becoming a future cola. Watching these subtle changes unfold week after week is one of the most rewarding parts of documenting this project. Sometimes a camera captures progress that our eyes almost miss from one day to the next. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More pistils will appear across every branch, while the first true bud clusters begin forming at each flowering site. Training will remain minimal. Only occasional leaf tucking will be carried out whenever necessary to improve light penetration and airflow. At this point, the goal isn't to reshape the plant. It's simply to support the structure she's already chosen for herself. If she continues growing with this same rhythm, I think she's going to produce a canopy filled with long, beautifully stacked colas. She's healthy. She's vigorous. And she's only just getting started. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that's exactly why documenting each one individually has become such a rewarding experience. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share their experiences, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for supplying the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. ? Plagron for providing the nutrients supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment that allows every phenotype to express her full potential. And finally... Thank you to everyone reading these updates, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply following along. Your support makes this journey even more enjoyable. I'll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno B continues transforming graceful branches into what I hope will become a canopy full of beautiful flowers. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱👑💚

Die Ladys beenden morgen Ihre 4. Woche und haben mal wieder extrem an Masse und Wachstum zugelegt. Der Start in die 5. Woche mit Vorblüte und bereits die ersten Streches. Verwunderlich finde ich, dass die kleinste mit dem kleinsten Top am längsten braucht um in die Blüte zu gehen 😄 aber das wird auch noch 😎 Ab morgen bin ich für zwei Wochen im Urlaub und ein Freund wird sich um das Gießen kümmern. Ich gehe davon aus das alles gut wird. Sie wurden nun zum zweiten mal entlaubt, die unteren Blätter wurden entfernt als auch Triebe die sich nicht optimal entwickelt haben. Wenn ich wieder komme werden sicherlich die ersten Terpene zu riechen sein 🙏🏽 Lasst gerne ein Like da!

Hello everyone week 1 has passed for this Auto Cinderella jack from Dutch Passion 😎 this plant is doing very well growing at fast pace and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves. Mars Hydro FC-E6500 25% wish you all happy growing!

Blütewoche 1 - 14.08. – 21.08.2026 Diese Woche habe ich die Blüte eingeleitet und den Lichtzyklus auf 12/12 umgestellt. Gegossen wurde einmal mit ungefähr 9 Litern, ansonsten habe ich ihr erstmal Zeit gegeben, sich an den neuen Rhythmus zu gewöhnen. Nach einer Woche zeigen sich jetzt die ersten weißen Blütenhärchen an den Triebansätzen. Außerdem habe noch einmal großzügig entlaubt und ein paar Triebe weiter unter dem SCROG-Netz verteilt. Sie macht insgesamt einen sehr gesunden und vitalen Eindruck. Durch die Entlaubung wirkt sie zwar im Moment etwas kahl, dafür bekommen die zukünftigen Buds jetzt deutlich mehr Licht. Das Netz ist zwar noch nicht ganz so voll, wie ich es mir ursprünglich vorgestellt hatte, aber vielleicht schließt der Stretch die letzten Lücken noch. Jetzt heißt es erstmal beobachten und sie machen lassen. Mit ihrer überwiegend sativadominierten Genetik dürfte das noch ein langer Grow werden.

Leaves are starting to yellow / and pistils are burning - I believe I’ve overwatered them slightly trying to flush them the best I could with clean water - this or perhaps my last feeding was to high? The EC was 2.5 . But these signs were increasing for a few weeks . Let’s hope it clears up !

Hello Diary. At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome. 😍 More or less all the information is in the diary, there are really a lot of photos that speak more than words. What I would point out at the end of this story, the Hulkberries were different. One was more developed in width and that eventually had a higher yield as well. He reached a height of 105cm, while the other was more developed in height and grew to 117cm. But the Hulkberry is a great sativa strain, I didn’t have any problems throughout the cycle, I didn’t do any training I just did a little defoliation twice. 👌 The branches were dried for 12 days after which they were finished in jars for another three weeks. In the end I would like to thank the Royal Queen Seeds for making this wonderful strain, Grow Diaries where I can learn, and share something I really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or commend the diary. See you soon with new journey.
