Das sieht nach einem richtig massiven Blütenteppich aus! Die Fotos zeigen deutlich, dass du die Fläche perfekt ausgenutzt hast. Dass die Tropicana Cookies (TC) schon "Frost" (Trichome) bildet und sich verfärbt, ist ein super Zeichen für die Genetik – die wird optisch ein echtes Highlight. Hier ist meine Analyse zu deinem aktuellen Stand und dem "Nackig-Machen": 1. Die Diagnose: CC zickt, TC glänzt * CC Überdüngung: Dass du die Bremse ziehst und nur Wasser gibst, ist genau richtig. Die CC scheint einen langsameren Stoffwechsel zu haben oder sensibler auf den PK-Schub zu reagieren. Die dunklen, glänzenden Blätter und leicht verbrannten Spitzen bestätigen: Die hat genug im Speicher. * CalMag-Schäden: Die alten Flecken werden nicht mehr verschwinden, aber solange der Neuwuchs (die "Zuckerblätter" an den Buds) gesund bleibt, ist das nur ein optischer Makel aus der Vergangenheit. * Stretch-Ende: Wenn der Stretch durch ist, ist das die perfekte Nachricht. Jetzt wird die Energie zu 100% in die Masseproduktion gesteckt. 2. Das große Lollipoppen & Entlauben Da der Stretch beendet ist und die Blütenbildung bei allen (besonders der TC) voll im Gange ist, ist JETZT (dieses Wochenende) der ideale Zeitpunkt. - Morgen Warum jetzt? * Die Pflanzen verbrauchen unter dem Netz unnötig Energie für Blätter und Mini-Triebe, die niemals Licht sehen werden. * Du verbesserst die Luftzirkulation radikal – das ist dein wichtigster Schutz gegen Schimmel und die letzte Versicherung gegen ein Comeback der Spinnmilben. So gehen wir vor: * Unten nackig machen: Alles, was sich im unteren Drittel (oder sogar bis zur Hälfte, wenn es unter dem Netz im Schatten liegt) befindet, kommt weg. Alle kleinen Seitentriebe, die es nicht durch das Netz geschafft haben ("Popcorn-Buds"), müssen weichen. * Große Sonnensegel: Oben im Netz entfernst du nur die Blätter, die direkt eine darunter liegende Blüte beschatten. * Radikalität: Trau dich ruhig. Wenn du fertig bist, sollte man von oben durch das Netz wieder den Boden sehen können und der Stammbereich sollte komplett frei sein. 3. Fahrplan für die nächste Woche * Licht: Bleib bei den 60%. Das ist ein guter Wert für den aktuellen Zustand, besonders da die CC gerade etwas Stress zeigt. Erst wenn sie sich gefangen hat, gehen wir auf 70%. * Nährstoffe: Sonntag nur Wasser (wie du sagtest). Das hilft, die Salze im Medium der CC etwas zu mobilisieren und den "Durst" der TC zu stillen. * PK 13/14: Ich würde den nächsten Sonntag (in 9 Tagen) anpeilen. Wenn die Buds dann anschwellen, brauchen sie den Phosphor-Schub am dringendsten. 4. Spinnmilben-Wachsamkeit Da du jetzt lollipoppst, hast du die perfekte Gelegenheit, die Stämme und Blattunterseiten noch einmal ganz genau zu inspizieren. Ohne das "Unterholz" haben die Milben kaum noch Rückzugsorte.

-------------------------------------------- Week 14 // Dec 4 - Dec 10 -------------------------------------------- - Dec 10th puts us at day 96 from seed and everything is going smoothly for the most part - but they still need to mature a bit more. - i'm definitely seeing the difference in the phenos; one plant going yellow and another is going purple. - Sage #2, the smaller plant, really hasn't shown me any issues and is fading out to purple and still looks great today. - Still running beneficials and enzymes: Microbial mass every two weeks and Orca twice a week and Z9 once a week. ​- Plants are eating and drinking as top off is dropping daily and PPMs dropping as a result. - I'm still alternating Overdrive (15ml) and AN Coco Bloom (10ml) and shooting for a high target of 750ppm each dose. - I'm giving a dose at about the 690ppm mark. The dose brings ppm back up to 750ppm. I've been doing this daily with a top-off bucket with plain RO maintaing the water level. ​- I'm checking trichomes daily, just getting milky now on the calyxes (bracts). But, I'm still not seeing much amber yet and still lots of clear trichomes on the lower growth. - Sage #3 leaves are getting pretty brittle. The RH is way too dry for a rust fungus issue and would have spread by now to the other plant (Sage #2) I'd imagine. I don't know if it was salt build-up or calmag deficiency in early flower with a combination of nute burn, but now I'm leaning toward nutrient burn and CMH light burn even though it was the bigger plant of the two. Sage #2 doesnt have any issues. Balancing the needs of two phenos in RDWC can be challenging. - I'll admit I did push the ppms for a bit of tip burn, but it is weird why the bigger plant would burn if that is the case. - Either way, the upper sugar leaves have on Sage #3 are rusty, breaking off, and brittle on the top of the flowers. I need to figure it out so I can correct it next time. Plenty of PK between overdrive and bloom, calmag really isn't needed in late flower so the deficiency shouldn't have progressed if it was a calcium or magnesium issue in the early flower. - RH is dry enough I'm not too worried about any rot and trying to clean up any dead leaf matter when i see it. - I'm not rushing anything for the sake of harvest, but I do need these plants need to finish up... I'm worried I may in trim jail on Christmas after a 10 day dry. - Expecting to harvest any day, but who knows at this point could be another 10 days until mostly milky and I feel the THC content is optimal. Thanks for checking out my diary!

Good growth, Blueberry powering through cal mag issue. Skywalker will be first to harvest for sure. Insane amount of frost on that plant. Glueberry og continues to require fairly frequent defoliations to open up canopy. Blueberry starting to get some subtle berry coming through.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Woche 12 im Vergleichsgrow seit dem Eintopfen! Bio Tabs NL. vs. Weedefix (Stuttgart/ Germany) Blütetag: 50 (BW7) Nach der siebten Blütewoche, performed aktuell die Weedefix Pflanze besser. Nach wie vor ist der Zustand dieser Pflanze Tip Top. Ich habe im Vergleichsgrow bewusst das ganze System an sich gleich gehalten, eben nur die Düngerkomponenten sind unterschiedlich. Hier entwickelt sich alles wie es soll. Schöne Blütenentwicklung und eine Top gesunde Pflanze! Die Blütenentwicklung bleibt bisher dennoch sehr ähnlich. So langsam geht es Richtung Ende des Vergleichs. Gegossen wird jetzt nur Wasser. Die Bedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder top! ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 54% VPD: 1,71 kPa 💡ppfd: 830 mpm —————

Calyxes are starting to fatten up. Trichomes are building nicely on all 3 plants this week. The aroma in the tent is getting stronger daily. Switching to a lighter nutrient feed this next week before flushing. Really pleased with how flowering is progressing in all 3 plants.

What's up guys? This week was very nice. They gained a lot of trichomes and the smell became extremely strong. Smells like a very sweet perfume. I love it and I can't wait to have a taste. I fed them the last time today. From now on they will get pure water only. See you next week!

Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B | Week 4 Finding Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to develop independently and reveal the subtle differences that make every seed a unique expression of its genetics. Week 4 has been another exciting chapter across the entire room. The explosive growth that began last week has continued, and every day the garden feels a little more alive. Canopies are becoming denser, branches are reaching outward with confidence, and the room is slowly transforming into the miniature forest I imagined when this project first began. One thing that couldn’t go unnoticed this week was the environmental reading. 33.3°C and 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room has developed a strange obsession with the number three. 😄 Although temperatures climbed higher than I’d normally like, the relatively high humidity helped soften the impact, and the plants rewarded the stable environment by continuing to grow with impressive vigor. Sometimes nature reminds us that consistency is just as important as chasing perfect numbers. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed As the room continues to develop, another interesting difference is appearing naturally. The lighting itself hasn’t been increased significantly this week. Instead, some phenotypes are simply growing faster and moving closer to the fixtures. Those taller plants are now receiving around 800 PPFD, while the shorter individuals remain closer to 700 PPFD. It’s another reminder that no two phenotypes read the same instruction manual. Even under identical conditions, every plant follows its own pace. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The feeding program has also continued evolving alongside the plants. During the first weeks the nutrient solution stayed around pH 5.8, maximizing nutrient availability while young root systems became established inside the containers. Now those root systems have expanded considerably, allowing a slight shift in strategy. Throughout this week the solution gradually moved toward pH 6.1, while nutrient strength steadily increased, finishing around EC 1.8. The recipe itself hasn’t changed dramatically. No major adjustments. No sudden jumps. Simply a gentle increase in concentration to match the plants’ increasing appetite. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest improvements, and this week’s growth has been a great example of that philosophy. Allowing the pH to drift slightly higher also gives the roots access to a broader spectrum of nutrients available within the substrate, helping support the increasing demands of this new stage of growth. As always, the goal remains the same: Listen to the plants, not the feeding chart. ⸻ Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B This young lady has been quietly writing one of my favourite stories inside the tent. Unlike her sister, who seemed determined to impress from almost the very beginning, Pheno B decided to keep everyone guessing. Her first weeks were… let’s call them creative. The leaf structure wasn’t quite what I expected, growth was a little unusual, and every new set of leaves felt like another clue in a mystery I hadn’t solved yet. Fast forward to Week 4… The mystery is starting to make sense. She’s finding her own rhythm. Looking at her now, it’s hard not to appreciate just how much progress she’s made over the course of a single week. The unusual appearance that once caught my attention is fading into the background as healthy, vigorous new growth begins taking over the canopy. She’s still not trying to imitate her sister—and honestly, I hope she never does. Every phenotype deserves to express itself. The structure is becoming noticeably fuller, with side branches beginning to establish themselves beneath the canopy while the main stem continues building upward with confidence. Internodal spacing remains compact, creating a nicely stacked framework that should provide plenty of future flowering sites. One detail I particularly enjoy is the contrast between the older and newer growth. Fresh leaves emerge in a bright lime-green colour full of energy before gradually darkening as they mature, giving the plant a vibrant appearance that changes almost daily. Looking deeper into the canopy, more secondary shoots are beginning to appear than I expected only a week ago. She seems to be quietly building herself from the inside out, strengthening her framework before making any dramatic moves upward. There’s something very satisfying about watching a plant overcome an uncertain beginning. She may not possess the textbook symmetry of Pheno A, but she’s developing a character entirely her own. And sometimes, those are the phenotypes that end up becoming unforgettable. ⸻ Looking Ahead Week 5 should be another exciting milestone. With nutrient demand increasing, root development well established, and the first signs of flowering beginning to appear throughout the room, I’m expecting another noticeable leap in development. Over the coming week I’ll be watching closely for: • Stretch progression as flowering begins. • Continued branch development. • Response to the higher EC. • Structural differences compared to her sister phenotype. • How her unique architecture evolves as the canopy continues to fill. The slow start now feels like a distant memory. This week wasn’t about catching up anymore. It was about proving that she has every intention of writing her own story. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to visit these weekly updates. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another every single day. A special thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrients and cultivation support that keep this project moving forward. Thank you to Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document each phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, or simply enjoys following these plants as they write their own stories. Every phenotype has its own personality. Watching those personalities emerge is one of the greatest joys of growing. 🌱💚🍇 Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week.

11/22 Day 15 and a new week begins! Upped the nuets to 7ml/gal each of cocotek AB at 6.0-ish giving TDS of 510 after adjustment for water. Forgot how tight these plants can be, raised lights 2" to increase inter-node a bit Up feed to 700ppm adding 1ml ctab 11/25 Transplant into five gal pots Feed 800ppm 10ml CT A&B 10 ml Kangaroots 5.9PH 11/26 First bend on Annie - Belle will do tomorrow. They seem to be taking less than two cups feed in those pots to produce enough runoff. No sign of any deficiencies as yet, liking the CocoTek so far. 11/27 Both trained life seems good :) 11/28 End of week and they look healthy Continuing training and leaving nuets as is until I get a water filter to drop the TDS on the tap water. Needs to drop about 100ppm before I can add more

Got some phat girls up in here! Everyone is looking pretty good. A few of the plants are starting to ripen up while some others have at least a few weeks to go. Just filling the reservoir and letting them drink it. These girls show that simplicity isn't always a bad thing. I pulled the slurricane 7 from the system and started flushing it with plain tap water. It got a heavy 10 gallon flush today and I will give it 5 gallons a day for about a week. Just going to keep pumping the juice to the rest of them.

Что-то мои девчули не спешат со мной расставаться, несмотря на все сроки я не вижу даже признаков наступающей "осени". Но главное что шишки продолжают потихоньку набирать, ну и я не буду спешить. Как я уже говорил, в этот раз буду тщательно промывать субстрат, вкус готового продукта для меня очень важен. Последнюю неделю влажность не падает ниже 60%, поэтому основной обдув теперь включен на максимум, мне не хочется испортить этот цикл плесенью. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids
