SECond week ok! 👽

7/14/23 - Day 32 - Switched to flower today. It will get its first dose of 12 hrs. of daylight, 12 hrs. of dark. This will tell the plant to start budding. I'm excited to see the bud's form. So far everything with the Leaf system is going great. I'm excited to show the next few weeks as they happen! 7/16/23 - Day 34 - The plant is bushing out big now. It's getting tall. I'm a little worried we waited for a little too long, but who knows? We shall see. 7/20/23 - Day 38 - She is a few days into flower, and she is sprouting up like crazy. I bought another Scrogg net. I'm going to try and double Scrogg? is that a thing? Lol I just know that I need to keep these buds from hitting the lights. I think I'll be able to get all of this to work well, but I am nervous about the height. I can see some pistils starting to poke out! 7/21/23 - Day 39 - The lights turn off at 2am and back on at 2pm, so right now I'm waiting to open the box up for the day. But I was looking back at the pictures and trying not to freak out about how big she is (I'm worried about the lights, they don't move, and Shes is MASSIVE already) One thing I noticed about the pictures is that I have not had a single leaf turn yellow, or get spots, or have curling leaves, or have any issues with the plant. I would expect some sort of dying leave somewhere, but no. Not one single leaf has been less than perfect, I mean PERFECT. It seems like this LEAF growing box is literally the perfect environment.

First solo week for this plant doing well with regular feedings. Tapering off of Nutrients as well.

Overall i'm really happy with this strain. First i thought i wouldn't get a high yield but i'm pretty happy with it i got 250grams of top trimmed buds 2g of hashoil 2g of bubblehash and another 80grams of dry plant material for making bubblehash. Super potent strain with an amazing flavour, definitely nit the last time growing this strain.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 ✨ She's Shining — And Sometimes Beautiful Plants Need a Little Cleaning Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And our Frosted Guava girl? She's still shining. 🌿✨ Actually... She's shining more and more. The flowers are developing beautifully, the plant remains lush and green, and those gorgeous flowering structures are becoming increasingly impressive. But this week wasn't just about watching her grow. This week, she told me something. She needed a little attention. Not because anything was wrong. Not because she was struggling. Simply because she had reached the point where some of the older, tired leaves had done their job and it was time to clean things up. So... we did exactly that. A little defoliation. A little cleaning. A little maintenance. And then? Back to letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. And shine. 💚 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop under the same general environment. The same room. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. The same environmental philosophy. The same nutrition strategy. The same lighting ecosystem. And yet... every plant tells a completely different story. Frosted Guava Pheno A has been writing hers beautifully. She's not necessarily the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to compete with every phenotype around her. She simply has her own personality. And right now, that personality is becoming very easy to recognize: lush, green, balanced, beautiful, and increasingly frosty. ✂️ This Week: Time for a Cleanup Last week I was looking at her thinking: "She's looking really good." This week I was looking at her thinking: "Okay girl... I think you need a little haircut." 😂 There were older leaves. Leaves that had started to fade. Leaves that were no longer contributing much to the plant. And there were a few areas where the canopy simply benefited from a little more organization. So we went in and cleaned her up. Nothing extreme. Nothing crazy. No stripping the plant bare. Just a sensible removal of the leaves that had reached the end of their useful life and a little bit of canopy maintenance. Because there's an important difference between defoliating a plant because you think you should... and cleaning a plant because you've actually looked at the plant and decided it needs it. This week was the second one. 🍃 We Don't Need to Take Everything One thing I always want to make clear when I talk about defoliation: The goal isn't to remove every leaf. Far from it. Healthy leaves are still part of the plant's machinery. They're capturing light. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. So even after the cleanup, plenty of healthy foliage remains. I took what needed to come out. I left what still had a job to do. And that's the balance I'm looking for. You don't need to make a plant look naked to call it clean. You need to make the plant appropriate for the environment it's growing in. And Frosted Guava now looks exactly where I want her. Clean enough. Open enough. But still beautifully green and full of life. The Job Isn't Finished When the Leaves Come Off And here's something that I think deserves much more attention in grow diaries: What happens after defoliation? Because removing old leaves from the plant is only part of the job. If those leaves fall onto the floor... they don't magically disappear. 😂 They stay there. They dry. They break down. They can accumulate underneath plants, around pots, in corners and in places where we don't necessarily notice them immediately. And that's not what I want inside my growing environment. So after cleaning the plant... we clean the room. Old leaves come out. Plant debris comes out. The floor gets cleaned. The areas underneath the canopy get checked. Anything that shouldn't be there... gets removed. Because maintaining a clean growing environment isn't about making the room look pretty for photographs. It's about good hygiene. It's about reducing unnecessary organic debris. It's about making the environment less welcoming to unwanted problems. And when you're running a full room like this... cleanliness matters. 🌿 A Clean Plant in a Clean Environment This is something I've learned more and more throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The plants are only one part of the ecosystem. The room itself matters. The floor matters. The pots matter. The airflow matters. The surfaces matter. The little pieces of dead plant material hiding underneath the canopy matter. Everything contributes to the environment. So when we clean a plant, we're not finished when the scissors stop moving. We clean the whole area. And then we can close the tent and say: "Okay. Now we're ready for another week." That's exactly what we did with Frosted Guava. 🌸 And She's Looking Beautiful And after all that maintenance... the best part? Look at her. She's beautiful. The green is still gorgeous. The flower structures are developing beautifully. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still standing proudly throughout the flowers. And the resin development continues becoming increasingly visible. This is one of those plants where I genuinely enjoy looking at the photographs because there's so much going on. From a distance, you see the overall structure. Move closer... and suddenly you're looking at individual flowers. Move closer again... and the calyxes and pistils become their own little world. That's what makes this stage so fascinating. The plant is still changing. Every week. ❄️ Frosted Guava Is Living Up to Her Name And yes... the frost continues. It's becoming increasingly easy to understand where the name Frosted Guava comes from. The flowers are developing that increasingly sparkling appearance, with resin becoming more obvious across the developing structures. We're still not at the finish line. Not even close to making any final judgments. But she's certainly giving us a beautiful preview. And those white pistils? I love them. They're still fresh and prominent throughout the flowers, giving the plant that wonderful contrast between deep green foliage and bright flowering sites. It's one of those combinations that never gets old. ☀️ Still Eating Photons The lighting strategy remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora continues contributing additional light into the lower portions of the canopy. And Frosted Guava is still doing what plants do best: turning photons into plant. Leaves capture light. The plant uses that energy. Structure develops. Flowers develop. And eventually we get to see the result of all of that work. At around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, there is plenty of light available above. The under-canopy lighting adds another interesting dimension to the experiment, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full. And Frosted Guava has plenty of flowering sites to keep us interested. 💧 Feeding Continues The nutrition program remains consistent. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters remain around: pH: 6.0 EC: ~2.0 mS/cm Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Solution temperature: 25°C Substrate temperature: 26°C And visually, she continues responding beautifully. There are no dramatic changes required. No reason to reinvent the program. She's growing. She's flowering. She's building. So we're continuing to let consistency do its job. 🌡️ Week 9 Environment Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h Stable. Consistent. Predictable. Exactly what I want while the plants continue doing their thing. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell two stories. The first is the plant itself. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful leaves. Beautiful structure. Beautiful colour. Beautiful development. The second story is what happened around the plant. The cleanup. The older leaves coming out. The canopy becoming a little more organized. And then the room being cleaned afterward. I think that's worth documenting too. Because growing isn't just about taking the beautiful photographs when everything looks perfect. It's also about the work that happens behind those photographs. The cleaning. The observation. The maintenance. The little decisions. The things nobody sees when they look at the final picture. That's part of the 8×8 Adventure too. Clean Room, Happy Room There is something extremely satisfying about finishing a cleanup and looking around the tent. No old leaves lying around. No unnecessary plant debris. The floor is clean. The canopy is tidy. The plants have room to breathe. And then you step back... and look at the whole 8×8. That's when you realize how far this project has come. What started as individual plants has become one enormous flowering garden. Every phenotype different. Every plant with its own personality. And Frosted Guava has found her place right in the middle of it. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now? We let her work. The cleanup is done. The room is clean. The healthy foliage remains. The flowers continue developing. And Frosted Guava can simply concentrate on the next stage of her journey. I'm especially curious to see how much more those beautiful flowers will develop from here. The calyxes. The pistils. The resin. The density. The final structure. There is still plenty of story left to write. And I have no intention of writing the ending before she does. 💚 Final Thoughts — She's Shining Frosted Guava Pheno A is becoming one of those plants that doesn't need an introduction anymore. You look at her... and you know why she's here. She's beautiful. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's green. She's flowering beautifully. And she's getting increasingly frosty. This week she needed a little attention. So we gave it to her. We removed the older leaves that needed to go. We kept the healthy ones. We cleaned the canopy. And then we cleaned the room. Because good cultivation isn't only about what happens on the plant. It's also about what happens around the plant. Old leaves don't belong on the floor. Dead plant material doesn't belong underneath the canopy. And unnecessary debris certainly doesn't belong inside the growing environment. So we clean. We remove. We reset. And then... we let the plants shine again. And Frosted Guava? She's doing exactly that. She's shining. ✨🌿❄️ The green is beautiful. The flowers are beautiful. The calyxes are beautiful. The white pistils are beautiful. The frost is coming. And the whole plant is telling me the same thing: "I'm not finished yet." Good. Because neither am I. Let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for these Frosted Guava genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering program. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving this garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following, commenting, sharing knowledge and growing alongside me. This adventure isn't just about the final flowers. It's about everything that happens along the way. The experiments. The phenotype differences. The successes. The mistakes. The maintenance. The cleaning. The photographs. And all those little lessons that appear when you stop and actually pay attention. Frosted Guava Pheno A is giving me another one this week. Sometimes you don't need to change the plant. Sometimes you just need to clean the plant, clean the room, step back... and admire what you've built. And damn... she's beautiful. 💚🌿❄️ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Rozdíly mezi Florganics a Biobizz jsou nyní dost znát. Biobizz má 2x větší květy (ne dost velké na to v jakém jsou týdnu) a zelenější barvy. Zalévám každé 3-4 dny 10 litry vody s vypsanými živinami. Florganics má malé květy které se moc nevyvíjí, má světle zelené listy které se začínají zbarvovat do fialové. Přidal jsem jim canna PK 13/14 protože jim očividně chybí jídlo.

Not a perfect round,but i hope that next round will be better... 🤟 I made a few mistakes about buying equipment and chose nutrition that does not suit me, but i will learns from my mistakes...

Засуха. Все кусты на большом азоте- шишки веником. На одном растении пожелтение листьев, но шишки плотнее. Внес монофосфат калия 12 грамм на 10 литров воды. Это последнее удобрение. Через 2-3 недели пойдут дожди и тогда надо будет срезать.

Er virkelig sket ekstremt meget på de 3uger her ! Jeg har ikke en i NOGEN PLANER OM DEN SKAL PLANTES UD! Eller jeg plantet hende om , er hun virkelig begyndt at blive en voksen kvinde! Med gode former💚☮️😉

She grew 17cm this week. Over doubled her height. Lets see what she does in the next couple of weeks. I note she got a LOT bushier. Also her leaves are VERY broad and indica like for such a sativa strain! 😶

Esta semana ha Sido súper buena para mí planta cada vez se ven más pistilos y la resina y su olor no dejan nada de que hablar. Simplemente son innumerables los terpenos que tiene esta planta a metros puedo olerla. Últimamente todos los días llueve con gran intensidad gracias a tanta humedad algunos cogollos presentaron botritis pero pude calmarla quitando los cogollos afectados y aplicándoles un poco de agua oxigenada. En resumen va de locos ya quiero probarla

Almost time for, lights, camera, action ! She will get a decent defoliation to show those beautiful flowers and then she is ready to be documented, what an exciting and stressful grow for me, not because of the plants but because of the ridiculous temperatures we reached this summer 🌞

Goodday growbrethren and sistren hope yal r enjoying the green life 😸 Dosidos is doing great, despite of being eaten alive by Caterpillers ATM.. She is almost done so i cant spray anything on her ... 'luckily'the CP's are big now, so i can spot them more easily But dammit!, they have eaten almost all the leafs! She has had a lil accident too this week, Runtz has fallen on top of her!! (sudden strong winds..they were standing on the ground) But luckily nothing was totally broken.. I gave her some bandage for the cola that was injured (i use bandage and not tape, bc thats more flexible) and some support with wire 👍 and another luck we are having here rn (im so lucky, im gonna fall under a bus!) is that we are having a nice 'late summer' here.. temp is still above 20C with lots of sun and now and then a big rainfall...(she goes in safehouse then) so i think(hope!) she can finish her buds before the CP's do!!(next year, im gonna throw a net over the safehouse, over the openings, to protect from evil butterflies😳 and such. think its gonna help.. a bit) happy growing for all✊

I have started flushing with pH-adjusted Flawless Finish solution, expecting to harvest somewhere around the end of this week, although I will continue monitoring pistils and trichs. Upd: Added back 50% base nutrients and some flowering additives after researching some of the first responses to my flushing question. I learn every day. Even that which was scientifically proven true one day, might be even more scientifically proven absolutely false some time later (not related to flushing specifically). Thank you kings! Upd 2: Okay okay I cooked her with some cosmic rays or whatever those Chinese quantum bars emit — purple rays, I'll call it — that's on me. Turned them 30% down to see what's up. Light burn was not on my mind, because otherwise the leaves were not really curving that much, considering that this is 3 weeks overdue wrt advertised. Sorry about that, did not pay enough attention.

We are an update away from the results. Both control plants chopped by way of spin trimmer. Non defo has the biggest cola, defo plant has the most mains and seems a bit heavier when wet. Results in a week or so Sbg.com

Hello growers day 14 with the blue monster ok I’m have troubles the poxy stinking police have been raiding people on my estate great (it’s illegal we’re I live)now my wife has told me it’s got to go so what do you do I packed them all up And put em in the in-laws garden 😂 there not doing to bad the weather has been banging lately there just getting a bit of a bashing from the wind so I’m going to finish the blue monster outside now hopefully she does well until next be safe and happy growing ✌️
