Hi alle zusammen dies war die letzte vegi Woche puh! Wieder 10 Wochen ins Land gezogen die Zeit rennt auch 😰! Die Woche lief ganz gut bus auf Dienstag da wollte ich alles noch einmal nach justieren und da ist mir die lady die hinten rechts steht gerissen also das T von oben ein gerissen (gespalten) hat sie aber nicht sonderlich gestört hab sie so gut es geht fixiert (sollte auf den Bildern und dem video zu sehen sein werde es nächste woche nochmal genauer fotografieren) ist leider dadurch nicht alles unbedingt auf gleicher Höhe so 2 bis 3 cm höhen unterschied zu der kleinsten von den 4 octos aber naja habe Freitag abend nachdem das Licht aus ging den reflektor ausgebaut und einmal Grund gereinigt und wieder eingebaut danach das ganze von meiner Mh auf Ndl gewechselt. Die zeitschschalt Uhr habe ich auf 12/12 umgestellt ab jetzt geht es langsam Richtung heisse Phase 😁😂(ich freue mich schon auf den Duft und das geglitzer) euch allen ein schönes Wochenende mit viel Sonne 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Gestern hat die 5te Blütewoche begonnen. Hab jz mal obligatorisch einen Gelbsticker ins Zelt gehangen, falls sich doch mal eine Vieh in meinen Garten verirrt. Aber bis jz immer noch keine Probleme außer 3-4 kleine Fliegen denen ich immer sofort das Leben verkürzt habe. Läuft top. Bilder werden geupdatet.

Apuntó del corte final del patrón ☺️

Esta semana aplique delta 9 de manera folear, 2 ml por cada planta y un litro de agua, se recuperaron un poco de la defoliación.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Week 3 vegetative update for the Expert Gorilla (Gorilla Glue #4) run! The girls are officially out from under the shadow of the flowering canopy and are basking in the full glory of the Spider Farmer LED light. They are looking absolutely fantastic and hitting their stride. 🌡️ Environment & Light Schedule * Lighting: 24/0 schedule (Running 24/7 with zero pauses—no bedtime for these ladies!) * Day Temperature: 26°C at the absolute hottest point. * Night Temperature: 21°C ambient. Everything environmental is dialed in perfectly, keeping their metabolism running at full speed. ✂️ Training & Upcoming Strategy I just finished topping them to break apical dominance and start building a wide, even footprint. Looking ahead to next week, the plan is to get a bit more aggressive. I will start defoliating to open up airflow to the lower nodes and plan on topping them more if possible to multiply our future bud sites. Let’s see how they handle the haircuts and what they look like by next week! Thank you all for stopping by, checking out the progress, and leaving your support. Best regards, Growfather

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 8 | Okay… Now She's on Fire! 🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you're discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This project is an experiment in patience, genetics and observation. Twelve different cultivars are growing together under the same environmental conditions, lighting, irrigation system and general feeding strategy. The biggest variable? The plants themselves. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues to prove exactly why genetics matter so much. She has never been the fastest plant in the room, but this week something has definitely changed. This girl is on fire. 🔥? 🌱 A Quick Recap — How Did We Get Here? Blueberry Muffin is being grown under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. For anyone new to the concept, this means the plant receives a flowering light schedule from the beginning rather than spending several weeks under a traditional vegetative photoperiod. The idea isn't to force the plant into becoming something it isn't. Instead, we're allowing each genetic to show us what it can do when given the same basic conditions as every other plant in the room. During the early stages, I followed what I like to call a "no-touch" philosophy. Apart from necessary care, I avoided constantly manipulating the plants. There was no aggressive training programme and no obsession with making every plant look identical. There was some gentle leaf bending and positioning when necessary, but for the most part: I let them grow. That has given us something I find incredibly valuable now that we're deeper into flowering. We can actually see how naturally each plant wants to grow. And Blueberry Muffin has developed into a tall, open and beautifully structured plant, with plenty of space between her flowering sites and excellent visibility throughout the canopy. 🌸 Flowering Development And now we're getting into the fun part. The flowers are becoming much more obvious this week, with fresh pistils developing throughout the plant and the individual flowering sites beginning to take shape. She's still not the densest-looking plant in the room, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At this stage, I'm much more interested in how the plant develops over time than in trying to judge the final result too early. The structure is allowing light and air to move through the plant, and the flowering sites are clearly developing. We're entering the stage where the focus gradually moves away from producing more vertical growth and toward flower development, stacking and eventually bulking. She's getting there. And judging by this week's photographs… she knows exactly what she's doing. 😄? ✂️ Defoliation — But Without a Calendar This is also the point where we've started introducing some selective defoliation around the room. And I want to explain this because it is very easy for newer growers to look at a diary and think: "Week X means I have to defoliate on this exact day." No. That's not how I approach it. There are twelve plants in this room, and they're not all developing at the same speed. Some plants are ready for a little leaf removal now. Others aren't. Some may receive attention next week. And some may barely need anything at all. I'm also doing this entire project myself, so there is absolutely no reason for me to create artificial pressure by saying: "Today is defoliation day for everybody." Instead, I look at the plants and make decisions based on what they're showing me. The goal isn't to remove as many leaves as possible. The goal is to remove what I don't need, while keeping enough healthy foliage to support the plant. For Blueberry Muffin, we're now selectively removing a few leaves here and there where they are blocking important flowering sites, creating unnecessary overlap, or simply no longer contributing much to the canopy. It's a much more surgical approach than stripping the plant bare. And honestly, I prefer it that way. Grow with the plant, not against it. 🌱 🌿 The Slightly Light Green Colour Now let's talk about something I mentioned last week. Blueberry Muffin is still showing a somewhat lighter green colour compared with some of her neighbours. It's particularly noticeable on some of the older leaves. But importantly: I'm not seeing anything that makes me panic. The plant is flowering, producing new growth and developing healthy-looking flowers. However, she is clearly a little more demanding nutritionally than some of the other plants in this room. And this is where growing twelve different genetics together becomes interesting. The entire room was asking for more nutrition, so we increased the overall feeding strength. But Blueberry Muffin? She's basically saying: "Thank you… but I might need a little more." 😂 So now we're going to give her some time to respond. Rather than immediately making another adjustment, I'll watch the new growth and overall colour over the coming days. If the plant starts returning toward a deeper, healthier green without developing signs of excess nutrition, we'll know we're moving in the right direction. This is one of those situations where observation is more valuable than chasing a number. ⚗️ Feeding Strategy The current feeding has been increased slightly as flowering progresses and as the room's overall demand has increased. At the moment we're running approximately: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution: EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm pH: 6.0 The important part here is that this isn't simply about pushing the EC higher because the plants are flowering. The plants are communicating their demand through growth, colour, water consumption and overall development. We've responded with a moderate increase and now we're watching. If Blueberry Muffin continues improving, fantastic. If she tells us that we've gone too far, we'll adapt again. There is no prize for following a feeding chart blindly. The chart is a starting point. The plant gets the final vote. 💡 Lighting We're currently maintaining a 12/12 light schedule, with the plants receiving a strong flowering intensity. The canopy is getting approximately 800 PPFD. For anyone new to PPFD, this is basically a measurement of how much photosynthetically useful light is reaching the plant canopy. It doesn't tell us everything about light quality or plant response, but it gives us a useful way of understanding light intensity. At around 800 PPFD, we're providing a substantial amount of light without trying to push the plants unnecessarily hard. At this stage, I'm happy with where we are. If the plants continue asking for more light and the environment allows it, there is always room to make adjustments. But once again: more isn't automatically better. We're looking for the balance between light, temperature, CO₂, nutrition and plant health. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues to be remarkably stable: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25.6°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h She's growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system, with the root zone continuing to receive consistent access to nutrient solution. That consistency is particularly useful during flowering because we're not constantly creating large swings in moisture availability. The goal is simple: Keep the root zone happy and let the plant concentrate on the flowers. 🔬 Structure & Personality One of the things I really enjoy about Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is that she's becoming increasingly easy to read. She's not trying to be the biggest or bushiest plant in the room. Instead, she's developed a tall, open architecture with a strong central structure and numerous flowering branches distributed along the plant. The photographs this week really show that personality. And this is exactly why I wanted to run twelve different genetics together. If I had only grown Blueberry Muffin, I might simply describe her as "a tall plant." But when you see her standing beside eleven other cultivars receiving the same treatment, you start to understand that this is her genetic expression. That's the fascinating part of this project. 🔮 Looking Ahead For next week, I'm not planning to chase anything. I'll continue monitoring the colour closely, particularly the newer foliage, while watching how the flowers develop and begin to bulk. If she responds positively to the increased nutrition, we'll keep things stable. If she tells us something different, we'll listen. I'll also continue selective defoliation where necessary, but without forcing every plant onto the same timetable. There is no need to create stress simply because the calendar says it's time. We're now entering a stage where patience becomes increasingly important. The framework has been built. The flowers are here. Now we let them do their job. 🌸 And Blueberry Muffin? She's finally starting to show us why she took her time. The quiet ones can surprise you. ?🔥 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Whether you've been here since germination or you've just discovered this diary, I genuinely appreciate every visit, comment, question and conversation. This project has become much more than twelve plants in a tent. It's an opportunity to observe how different genetics behave when we remove as many variables as possible and simply give them the same environment. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document the journey and learn together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore what this cultivar can do under a 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for supporting the plants with your growing media and nutrients throughout this adventure. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for providing the light that allows us to put all twelve personalities under the same sun and see how differently they respond. And finally, thank you. Because growing becomes even more rewarding when we can share the successes, the mistakes, the questions and the lessons with one another. Remember, this is simply my way of doing things and what is working for me in this particular environment. There is no obligation to copy anything you see here. Take what is useful, learn from it, adapt it to your own environment and, most importantly, learn to listen to your plants. Growers Love, everyone. 💚🌱 See you next week with Blueberry Muffin Pheno A… …and I have a feeling this little lady may have a few more surprises waiting for us. ?🔥

This week felt like the run really started cruising into flower mode. The smaller, darker pheno – the one that got transplanted from the 11L into the 35L pot – finally bounced back. Especially after that little defoliation session, she’s been pushing steady growth and stacking some nice biomass. She’s compact, chill, and now showing she’s got some solid drive. The bigger, lighter pheno on the other hand feels like she hit the brakes a bit. Growth slowed down, biomass stacking isn’t as intense, and she looks a little lazier compared to her sister. But that’s kinda intentional – I took off a bit more foliage on her to keep the stretch in check and slow her roll. So, nothing to stress about, just part of the plan. Hope that It works out and she'll start to be a little more on the energetic side of things next week. Funny enough, the darker pheno seems to be catching up and maybe even overtaking the lighter one now. That contrast is rad to see – like two boards riding the same wave but in different styles. Curious how it’ll play out in the next couple of weeks. I also pushed the PPFD to about 1000–1050 depending on the spot in the canopy. Bud sites are soaking it up, and the canopy looks nicely balanced. From here on out, I wanna keep it chill – minimal interference, let the plants ride it out, and bring this run to the finish line. Main focus is to wrap it clean so I can flip the space for the other photoperiod girls waiting in the small tent.

Week 3 flowering. Buds are slowly forming, plants still going good, cold weather is hitting my area now, hope it won't last long, might extend flowering period by a couple days if it stays this cold.

4/30/19 Start of a new week. 5/3/19 Watered with clean water. Nothing new here, cruising along nicely still have a bit of tike before we cut off feeding. 5/6/19 Starting her two week flush along with the rest of the tent for 10 full weeks of total grow time.

The seeds have germinated after around 59 hours to be exact very strongly I started to germinate the seeds on January 12th however it was 00:00 Am so it's almost like saying January 13th, the 2 out of 2 seeds have germinated very well without any problem! Quick germination, let's go for it! Stay tuned, this is a strain I love for her absolutely amazing terp profile!! Don't miss it👨‍🌾💚🔝♥️💛

Very easy grow. Super fast. I think the first 2 will finish in week 11.

Lezgooo !

Commencing Week 10 - 2nd week of flowering - Day 64 from germination - Day 14 of 12/12 on December 26th All is awesome! 😁 Although all plants have hairs right now, 818#1&2, BH2, & GZ2 (especially 818s) seem to start throwing hairs just a few days before the rest. RD is stretching out rather nicely and is working in sync to make a nice level and full canopy. Have noticed the pH of the nutrient solution now swings very low with every plant, especially the bigger ones, within 24 hrs going from 5.8 down to 3.8-4.3. I pH back up accordingly every day. Lastly I decided to go with "bonsai" training instead of topping. (This is in order to keep plants growing at a steady pace - non-stunting - while taking away the apical shape that is natural for some strains.). I "bonsai'd" The following: GZ1&2&3, AND 818#1. Simply put I coiled bonsai wire around the main cola and bent below the next lowest node /tier (see photos) The other s: RD, BH 1&2, and 818#2 have a natural level/close to level shape. D.65/15 Started tucking leaves and light stress training. So far I have taken only 3-4 leaves off per plant. And other than coiled the Apex cola they are been untouched. Also to balance out the pH drop, I have been pHing to the 6.0-6.2 range. Seems to steady the solution better so I will continue. Lastly I have put both the fans and the oxygen pumps on a 15m on 15 m off interval throughout the 24 hr day. I thought it might be risky however the plants seem not to mind, rather maybe even like this better. D.69/19 Yesterday I added a tiny bit of bloom food high in phosphate to help with the flowering since it's picking up now, as well as some extra Cal Mag and the plants seem happier because of it. And I have still been putting the pH a little higher, in the 6.1 range, rather than a 5.8 since it seems to be dipping low every time I check rather than going up. Also I put these pumps back on 24 hrs per day because after two days of being on for 12 hours her day they seemed not as happy as they were prior. Lesson learned with that one no harm done so that's a good thing. The raspberry diesel is really taking up the space wonderfully in between the four plants in the corners and is becoming almost + shaped really filling in the canopy just like the description online says don't vegfor long because the flower phase stretch is something to behold. 818 headband number one has a really beautiful medium sized stature not too short but not tall and lanky either and tons of Bud sites and is looking the most bud-filled already whether that means it will have the most yield or be done the fastest, or both we'll have to wait and see., All three of the Gorilla Zkittles seem to have slightly different phenotype variation one a little bit more sativa than the other two that are more hybrid looking. All 3 have very different root masses compared to the rest of the plants and are pretty big but one in particular is absolutely huge. (Comparisons will be posted in next week's update.) the Boss hogs also seem to have very different phenotype expressions as of now one is staying much more short and having a very level canopy naturally and no hairs, while the other is close to a level canopy but still has a little bit of that main cola dominant feature as well as a lot more hairs. Thank you watching hope your enjoying, the best is yet to come !!😁😁

Monster plant!!!! Now she is eating pure phosphorus to gain the weight@ next week i will flush her and then 3 days of darkness and the harvest day will come ))) happy 420

esto ya se acaba .Próximos 3 o 4 riegos solo con agua y en 10 dias áprox. la cosecha. Por lo que parece estas variedades deben tener bastante carga índica ,las Project algo mas que las banana. Dejaron de aparecer estigmas blancos y actualmente estan ya en su mayoria desaparecidos o bien tostaditos, esto no puede dar mucho más de si.

This weeks pictures are of the Blue Glue. So I had the two growing in one oot and one turned male very soon so I got rid of it instead of collecting pollen. I will never do that again. It turns out the blue glue male and female had a mutation that is creating extra thick pistols it looks like pipecleaners instead of hairs. The plants are very short but have an extra dense canopy. Ive trimmed it two time now and might have to do it again.

Oct 5: Bruce is doing great. I was getting worried she wouldn’t finish in time but she’s picked up the pace and the weather is still good. Sort of. Hitting zero tonight and high of +3 C tomorrow. After that it’s sunny for two weeks with highs near 20 C. She’s turned purple the last few days and is putting on weight. 👍👍 She also broke a limb when blown over (again). Removing big fan leaves that are shading bud sites. Oct 6: she’s beautiful. Removed some large fan leaves that were shading bud. Feels weirdly warm tonight. Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk as a bloom booster. Now down to just over 11 h of daylight. Oct 10: looking good this morning. Oct 11: been removing fan leaves to get as much light on the buds as possible. Sunlight is weak and low to the horizon but this month continues being unseasonably warm. We’re usually getting quite hard frosts by now but the forecast is warm for another two weeks. Some nice purple showing from the lowish overnight temps though. I just checked, and yes, it has been “extremely hot” again for the last 30 days.
