Buds everywhere…the smell is also coming along. I gave her too much tiger bloom which is noticeable on her leaf tips but the benefits are worth it. I had an attack of the aphids trying to destroy the stem but I pulled out the spray and got rid of them. She takes training really well and bounces back from the pest attack quite nicely. I am also impressed with the way she leafed out after the defoliation.

9/3 Shook the plants off this morning and took a few pics and did a video. Let's see if it uploads. Plants are doing good. Toasted toffy is due for another plant doctor application tonight. It seems like I'm losing lots of leaves. Looking back on my other diaries I guess it's normal. BUT I could've had pest/pathogen problems then. I'm over thinking it. Toasted toffy only needs a few more weeks. It will definitely outvrun the disease. The nugs are super dense too. The plant in the 50 is loosing leaves faster than I'd like. It is also one of the furthest along. The big leaves that turn yellow look like it's a calcium/magnesium issue. The stalk and branches are all bright green and healthy looking. So are the flowers. It could be something below the soil. I couldve been overwatering but last time I waited until it drooped. It will be fine though. I'm happy with my results so far. Not my best or biggest year but I'm going to put in the work and Mae these plants produce the best quality cannabis that im able too. Also I think plant doctor may kill insects. K bicarb with dawn does too. I've found a few dead bugs like flies and pillars. Pillars actually seem to be gone. Not many moths either. Unless I see them I'm not going to treat them for it. This is that magical time where you get to watch the plant produce those beautiful flowers. Despite some small problems I'm very grateful for what I have. I've worked hard for it. 9/4 Watered everything but the sherb pie which was still heavy with leaves yellowing. It's tied for the furthest behind in flower with the seed in the 10. I treated the toasted toffy with 1/4 gallon (4tsp/gallon) of plant doctor. I avoided flowers as much as possible and tried to just get a few leaves. I used the rest on the soil. I just wanted it to absorb a little faster. That's why I sprayed the foliage. It's not 4 days it's 14 days when tje plant doctor just leaves behind a bunch of potassium and phosphorus after it's done its job. Can't be used in a 14 day interval with copper and I think that's what treats septoria best. I dontvknow if I can use that in flower. Doesn't really matter. Things are looking good. Plant Doctor and the K bicarb seem to be doing there job effectively as long as i stick to the application times. I made a short video but didn't upload. I'll try again but I may have some medical emergencies that need to be dealt with. If not I should defoliate and tie down some event horizon branches. I thought about treating the other event horizon as well. I'm not positive it has septoria but it wouldn't hurt anything to be practice. It AT LEAST has a couple suspucuous spots. I smelled a skunk as soon as I got out of my car. It can't get in my grow but I might put out traps to catch it. We'll see how it goes. Video seems to be uploading. It's at 31% so I'll wait for it. I think I've got like four or five weeks on my toasted toffy and one event horizon and the one in the 50 that I THINK is red runtz. That's good that I'll have different plants to harvest at different times. It's seeds from here on out though. It was hard to find info on some of the strains I'm growing but they all have ONE thing in common. They are EXOTIC and they are at least MODERATELY DIFFICULT to grow. AT LEAST lol. Last year I picked the right seefs and strains and it greatly helped. Still, if these are difficult strains to grow, then I'm doing a good job. EDIT: I WAS STONED BUT IM PRETTY SURE I TREATED THE PLANT IN THE 50 WITH PLANT DOCTOR. DIDNT SPRAY BUDS. TRIED TO GET THE LEAVES THEN USED THE REST ON THE SOIL. I REMEMBER BECAUSE A STREAM ACCIDENTLY HIT A COUPLE LEAVES ON THE HUGE PLANT IN THE 10. 9/5 Sherb Pie was light and drooping. It's not to far in flower and still seemed moist yesterday with a little bit of weight. I watered it a gallon. I defoliated a little but I need to go through that plant. I have a bunch of plants that need a little work. The 50 gal seed is losing lots of leaves. I must not be feeding it enough, overwatering or maybe theres some sort of lock out. The plant looks nice and healthy. Leaves just turn yellow and die. Looked like a calcium or magnesium deficiency but i saw a septoria spot. I wouldn't think I've over feed or locked out using the small amounts of nutes I've used. It will be time to feed again soon. It's in the middle of flowering and still has leaves. I'm hoping things work out. I just have an anxiety disorder and worry too much. I'm GOING To have a great harve! I just need to keep moving forward and putting in the work. 9/6 What a fucking shitty morning. I did research on how to keep skunks out of your garden. Because I smelled it and the neighbors shot a few. Dad put traps out and it caught one. It wasn't a no spray trap so I approached it with him. Both had tarps. I kept telling him to throw it while I was distracting it bur he got a cramp and only got it over half. The half away from my garden. It's pretty far and down in a field but still. We had talked all morning about how to release it. I offered to drive their dog to take it for a walk so his alcoholic girlfriend wouldn't spiteful put the dog on its run. It wouldn't be sprayed but I made it out like it would ruin my plants. Picked dad up and got him to the bathroom. In that 30 seconds the stupid bitch grabbed the dog and brought it outside despite me YELLING "Can't you wait 5 minutes!? We've been dealing with this all morning. I heard fuck you in my head and she did it anyway. Dog ran at the skunk barking and it sprayed. Not a lot but I was fucking pissed. She's a full blown alcoholic and doesn't like me around early or the fact that my old man's 80 and house is mine. Anyway I got back and there was NO SKUNK SMELL. AT ALL! I WATERED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE AND FED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE. ILL FEED AND WATER THAT TOMORROW. WATERED A GALLON WITH A QUART OF FEED. Researched my strains found out they were all "difficult" to grow. One year ago to the Day I cut my first tenth planet. I got a couple close to a few weeks but the others will be later. If I can pull this off though I'll have some crazy quality! Grateful for what I have that's for sure! I doubled beastie bloom this time. We'll see how it goes.nothings uploading. I did some vids a pictures but I'll have to upload today. 9/7 I think it rained last night. I forgot to water and feed the sherb pie but I'll do it when I get back. I shook off the plants the best I could. I need to get the leaf blower out now and put it to use. Buds are swelling like crazy. GMOs are very tight flowers. Same with the event horizon. Rock hard nugs. With the gmo's I'm not worried. The were monster cropped so they have enough leaves even if some do die off. The toasted toffy only has like four weeks left. Same with the event horizon. The plant in the ten is the furthest behind but it's extremely healthy. I removed some leaves from the bottom and large fan leaves. The plant in the 50 I hope finishes before it loses all its leaves. I treated it with plant doctor and SOME people strip their plants but I don't. I'm grateful for what I've got. Won't be the biggest harvest but WHEN I make it to the finish line I will have some incredibly potent strains. I'm proud of myself to even get these to finish seeingvthe level of difficulty on cultivation. I'm trying to upload some stuff. We'll see. 9/8 Apparently it rained pretty hard last night. Took forever to go through and shake everything off and defoliate what needs it. Sherb pie is praying to the sky and almost totally purple. It's flowering so much more in the last couple days. Everything has. Even the one in the ten is stacking up! I defoliated most of what needed it and I was soaked. I noticed a branch on the middle gmo that was getting heavy and starting to break away from the trunk. It wad wobbly but I don't think there was a break un the Cambrian. I made a sling with rope (couldn't find zip ties) and I pulled it tight amd secured that branch to the tomato cage. GMO buds are hard as rocks. Everything is in overdrive. They liked that beastie bloom. I have cha ching but nothings ready for that yet I don't think. We'll the event horizon and toasted toffy might be I'll have to check. It's been beautiful today but not too hot. Lots of wind which is good. I'll upgrade supports as needed. Flowers are progressing at an amazing rate. Weather is supposed to be great the next few days. I'll keep this updated. 9/9 Had to shake the plants off. WATERED EVERYTHING BUT THE SHERB PIE WHICH WAS REALLY HEAVY. It's also lost a lot of leaves and the majority of leaves have turned purple. Toasted toffy and event horizon and red runts are pretty far into flower. I tried to take some pictures. Even the ten is blowing up! That looks like I'm going to switch to cha ching when flower gets further. Trichs are developing nicely on the ones further in flower. This year it's going to be quality over quantity. All these strains are ranked HARD to grow but have insane cannabinoid profiles and high THC %'s. So if I can keep it together for another month I'll be golden. Looking forward to it. This is the fun part. It's also the anxiety provoking part. I've learned a lot just since joining grow diaries.

Stretched vigorously once she started to transition to flower. Developed potency early in flower! She was LST'd weekly, starting week 2. She was also gently lolipopped a few times, to maintain growth towards 5-6 nodes only.

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 9 | The Queen Is Getting Loud Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week, our demanding Queen has something very interesting to say. She's still demanding. She's still not giving me that deep, lush green that I personally love seeing. She's still one of the girls that makes me pay a little more attention. But... she's growing. She's building. She's developing beautiful flowers. And there's one thing she has absolutely no intention of keeping quiet about anymore: her smell. 👃🔥 This girl is becoming loud. Very loud. In fact, at the moment, she's carrying the strongest aroma I've found anywhere in the tent. And that has my attention. 👑 A Quick Recap — Our Demanding Queen If you've been following Godfather OG Pheno A from the beginning, you'll already know that she has never exactly been the easiest girl in the room. She's one of the tallest plants in the 8×8 Adventure, sitting around 169 cm, and she's consistently been one of the more demanding phenotypes when it comes to nutrition and overall attention. But that's also what makes her fascinating. Because we're not giving her a special environment. We're not building a separate feeding programme just for her. We're not changing the rules of the experiment because one plant asks for something different. We have twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants sharing the same ecosystem. They receive the same general treatment. They share the same room. They share the same environmental conditions. They share the same reservoir. And then... they show us who they are. Godfather OG Pheno A is showing us that she is a Queen with an appetite. 😂👑 🌿 Still Growing. Still Building. The most important thing this week? She's still moving forward. She's still developing. She's still putting on flower. And when I look at her within the tent, she has that presence that makes her difficult to ignore. She's tall. She's commanding. She's reaching through the canopy. And those flowering sites are becoming increasingly impressive. The plant isn't sitting still waiting for us to figure her out. She's busy. She's building. She's doing exactly what a plant in this stage should be doing: developing her flowers. And honestly, that's what I care about most. 🍃 That Green... Now, I'm not going to pretend. She's not wearing the green I like. 😂 I love seeing that deep, rich, lush green across the canopy. Godfather OG Pheno A isn't quite giving me that right now. Her foliage is noticeably lighter in places, and because I know how demanding she has been throughout this run, it's something I'm continuing to observe carefully. But there's a very important distinction here. Not looking exactly how I want doesn't automatically mean she's failing. She's still growing. She's still flowering. She's still producing. She's still developing. And the flowers themselves are telling us a very different story from simply looking at the colour of the leaves. So I'm not going to panic. I'm not going to create a problem just because I don't like one particular shade of green. I'm going to keep watching the entire plant. Because the plant is always more than one leaf. 🌸 And Those Flowers... This is where she really starts getting interesting. Because despite everything I've just said about the foliage... look at the flowers. Beautiful. The flower structures are developing nicely, and the plant is continuing to build along those long branches. There's increasing definition. There's increasing resin development. There's plenty of fresh pistil growth. And there's a sense that she's gradually moving from the stretching and structural-building phase into the part of flowering where the flowers themselves become the main event. That's the transition I'm watching closely now. The plant has already built the framework. Now we're waiting to see what she does with it. And I have a feeling... she's going to have something to say about that. 👑 👃 The Loudest Girl in the Tent Now let's talk about the thing that really caught me this week. The smell. Oh... She's loud. 😂🔥 At the moment, Godfather OG Pheno A is producing the strongest aroma I've encountered in the tent so far. And when you're surrounded by more than twenty plants, that's saying something. Every time I get around her, she's basically announcing: "I'm here." No introduction necessary. No invitation required. She has arrived. And this is exactly the kind of thing I love discovering as flowering progresses. Because early in the run, you can look at a plant and make all sorts of guesses. Then suddenly, somewhere along the way, the plant starts revealing another part of its identity. For Godfather OG Pheno A... that identity is becoming increasingly aromatic. She's loud. She's noticeable. And she's making me extremely curious about where this profile is going to take us as the flowers continue to mature. I'm not going to try to name the final aromatic profile yet. It's still developing. But I can tell you one thing: this girl wants to be noticed. 👑👃 🔥 The Interesting Part About This Phenotype This is where the whole phenotype-hunting concept becomes so much fun. We're watching plants under essentially the same conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same general environment. And yet Godfather OG Pheno A is behaving like a completely different character. She's tall. She's demanding. She's lighter in colour than I'd prefer. And she's becoming the loudest plant in the tent. That's a personality. And I love it. Because we're not trying to force her to become something else. We're trying to discover what she already is. The Experiment Continues One of the hardest things about running a room like this is accepting that you can't make every plant happy in exactly the same way. If you're growing one plant, you can react to every little difference. But when you're running twelve genetics and more than twenty plants, the philosophy changes. We establish a consistent baseline. We provide the environment. We observe the response. And then we learn. Some plants thrive immediately. Some demand more. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some become incredibly aromatic. And some... become the Queen of the room. Godfather OG Pheno A definitely seems determined to claim that crown. 👑😂 💧 Feeding & Environment The room continues following the shared feeding strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required And the environment remains consistent: 🌡️ Day – 29°C 🌙 Night – 25°C 💧 RH – 60% ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💨 CO₂ – 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h Again, the consistency is important. We're not changing the entire room around one phenotype. We're watching how she adapts to the same world as everybody else. And so far... she's adapting. 📸 A Small Apology About This Week's Photos Now... I have to make a confession. 😂 Somehow, somewhere along the way... I lost Godfather OG Pheno A's individual photographs for this week. Yes. The Queen has officially fired her photographer. 👑📸😂 So unfortunately, this week's update doesn't have her usual individual photo collection. And I'm genuinely sorry about that. But I don't want that to stop us from documenting her journey. We're still sharing photographs from the wider ecosystem, and we're still sharing videos from inside the tent. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. And if you've been following the diary, you can go back through the previous weeks and use those updates to identify her position and structure in the room. The full-tent photographs and videos also give you the opportunity to see her within the ecosystem she shares with all the other girls. So while I don't have her usual close-ups this week... the Queen is absolutely still here. 👑🌱 And I promise I'll try not to lose her again. 😂 🌸 The Flowers Are Her Best Argument And perhaps that's what makes this week so interesting. If I only looked at the foliage, I might say: "Hmm... I'm not completely happy with this." But then I look at the flowers. And I think: "Okay, girl..." Because she's producing. She's building. She's developing beautiful structures. She's getting increasingly frosty. And she's becoming increasingly aromatic. So once again, the plant is reminding me not to judge one characteristic in isolation. The Queen may not be dressed in the greenest dress in the ballroom... but she's certainly wearing some beautiful flowers. 👑🌸 🔍 What Am I Watching? At this stage, there are a few things I'm particularly interested in. First: How much more will she bulk? She's already developing nicely, and there's still plenty of flowering time ahead. Second: Where is that aroma going? Because she's already the loudest girl in the tent. I'm extremely curious to see how that aromatic character develops as the flowers mature. And third: How will her foliage progress? I'm continuing to watch her colour and overall plant health without jumping to conclusions. The goal isn't to make her look perfect. The goal is to understand her. That's a very different thing. 🌱 She's Teaching Me Again And this is probably the biggest lesson Godfather OG Pheno A is giving me this week. Sometimes a plant can challenge you... while still rewarding you. She can demand more attention. She can look different from what you personally prefer. She can make you question what's happening. And at the same time... she can produce beautiful flowers. She can develop an incredible aroma. She can continue growing strongly. And she can make you excited to see what happens next. That's cultivation. That's phenotype hunting. And that's why I'm enjoying this run so much. 👑 The Queen Is Still Writing Her Story So, Week 9. Approximately 169 cm. Still demanding. Still developing. Still not the deepest green in the room. But... beautiful. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful structure. Increasing frost. And the strongest smell in the tent so far. She's not finished. She's not even close. And that's what makes this so exciting. I'm genuinely curious about what happened here. What exactly is hiding inside this phenotype? What will those flowers become? How far will that aroma develop? And what will she look like when she finally decides she's done stretching and puts everything she has into finishing those flowers? I don't know yet. And honestly... I love not knowing. Because that's why we're here. To find out. 🔮 Looking Ahead For the coming week, I'm expecting the focus to continue shifting toward flower development. 🌸 More bulk. ❄️ More visible resin. 👃 More aroma. 🌿 Continued observation of the foliage. 👑 And hopefully a little less drama from our demanding Queen. 😂 But I'm not making promises on that last one. She's been demanding from the beginning. She may have earned the right to continue. For now, we'll keep the environment consistent, keep observing her response, and allow her to continue telling us what she wants to become. No forcing. No unnecessary changes. Just observation, consistency and time. 💚 Let Her Shine I may have lost her individual photographs this week... but I certainly haven't lost sight of her. She's right there in the jungle. Standing tall. Growing strong. Making flowers. Getting frosty. And making enough noise with her aroma that you don't need a photograph to know she's there. 😂👃🔥 Godfather OG Pheno A may not be giving me the lush green I personally love. She may be one of the more demanding girls in the entire room. But she's also showing me something beautiful. She's adapting. She's developing. She's producing. And she's becoming increasingly interesting with every passing week. So let's give our Queen the spotlight she deserves. The photographs may have gone missing... but the Queen certainly hasn't. 👑💚 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to be one of the most fascinating growing experiences I've ever had. Twelve genetics. More than twenty plants. One shared environment. And an incredible collection of personalities developing right in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering the garden. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent. Thank you to LumiFlora for bringing additional light into the lower canopy. And finally... thank you to every single person following along. Whether you comment every week... whether you ask questions... whether you're learning... or whether you simply stop by to see what's happening inside this little jungle... thank you. 💚 I'm having an absolute blast with this run. Some days I honestly feel like Tarzan wandering around my own little jungle, checking on everybody, looking at flowers, taking photographs, discovering new smells and learning something new every time I walk through the tent. 😂🌴🌱 And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's one of the girls keeping me curious. She's demanding. She's different. She's loud. She's beautiful. And she's still writing her story. Growers Love, my friends. 👑💚🌱 See you next week, when hopefully the Queen and her photographer manage to reunite. 😂📸👑

Definitely 2 different phenotypes with the Girl Scout cookies, one is Oozing great with nice big well stacked buds the others are spindly and airy. Hoping they will thicken up over the next 3 weeks. The white widows are all looking ok. Had a valve blockage on one of the pots which I luckily found early. The Autopots always seem to give me grief in the flowering stage! Blocked lines blocked valves, flooding. I’m now making sure I take out the valves and reservoir and give them a good clean and rinse every 2 weeks.

I put in some work yesterday and today. Chopped the clover, added some buildasoil craft blend and cased it with BaS compost and transplanted her from the 1g to the 20g. I also set up the Blumat irrigation system and the tensiometer. I’m excited to see how much better it waters than I do. Based on the tensiometer it seems I was greatly under watering. Trellis net going up in a few days.

SUNDAY 5/19: I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the Amnesia XXL Auto and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" 😉 MONDAY: She's still sitting in the dark. I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody...wow...she smells funky! 😳
