I'm so happy to see pre flowers at 4 weeks... going into week 5 Dutch Blue Automatic is looking strong and robust growth everywhere. Thank you Marcel, @ Spliff Seeds for the opportunity to grow! Life is good! The true UVB light has been killing any insects and any mildew or mold... UVB is a must have in every garden.

Edit from 19th May. Literally 00:09 Pre-Flowering. Fat Banana looks like Hermie. Royal Critical = clean pre-flower. Edit from 19th May. 16:26 Fat Banana had balls sack and pistils growing all over the place. I nuked everything that had balls on it. I left only top node with pistils. Royal Critical is full of pistils, no balls. Now I wish I had photoperiod seeds instead of automatics. I would give Critical 1 extra week in veg. She is around 10-15cm smaller then Fat Banana. I switched the lights back to 400W. Edit from 20th May. 14:45 I think 32C is maximum what these plants can handle. With 600W I was reaching 34C on some top leaves and that could possibly turn the Fat Banana into hermit (she was the tallest). I open the tent a little (front doors), I put big-ass fan on second gear blowing strong wind through the mesh-window of a tent. I put the lights straight up to the ceiling, I literally can't put them any higher. Fat banana is now 58cm tall and around 80cm away from the light. Royal Critical is now 41cm tall and around 100cm away from the light. 50% Humidity 28C under the canopy/on the ground under the leaves 31C Air temperature. Fat Banana fan leaves temperature: 28.5C Fat Banana center/middle of the plant: 30.9C Royal Critical fan leaves temperature: 27.5C Royal Critical center/middle of the plant: 27.8C NOTE: Royal Critical ugly/yellow leaves have higher temp: 29-30C The rest of small plants range from 28 and 32C Surface area/soil temperature DRY: 35C Surface/Soil temp. WET/SHADOW: 28-29C That pistol/laser for checking temps was solid purchase. I can see back of my tent is more hot then other areas. Will do more Temp-Checks in the future. I also deleted few things from "Condition" tab because one day they are correct, the other something change and the info is not accurate anymore. I'll update info here in edits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Control Sheet Date: 20th May 2024 Time: 16:57 Tent status: Side doors little bit open. Both windows fully open.

They have little bit crumbled leaves cuz of heat I guess. 32C @ 50% RH is max for my setup. Edit from 22th May. @ 13:10 Nothing changes. Plants are happy and praying to their god ( me ofc :) ) Same temps Same RH I watered them yesterday after long days/weeks of dry season (cuz of FuckYouGnats). Edit from 23th May. @ 11:40am Same temps or even a bit lower then in last two days. I like it. I closed 85% of windows in tent (door fully closed) to create negative pressure that's gonna suck out the hot air. It seems to work better than what I did yesterday. Today I gave them second dose of nematodes. There is really very little Fungus Gnats around now. Sometimes, occasionally one or two "teenagers" or "baby" Gnats would fly out from bottom of pot or top of the soil after watering but that's like nothing comparing to what I had at the beginning. Shit-ton of yellow-sticky-tape does the job as well, just put it everywhere you can. / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZEddFi1W8k / What I'm singing to Lady Banan? Edit from 23th May @ 2pm So I'm reading about VPD now and I think, this is what is happening in my tent right now. High temps but RH at right levels makes the plant comfy in that zones. Right now plants sitting at 30.6C @ 55% RH So I'm sitting at 1.27 VPD? If I could lower my temps to 29C and keep RH at 55% that would be 1.20 VPD (which would be perfect) N o t B a d R o o k I e Edit from 24th May @ 11:24 am So in last 3 days the temperature outside my house is dropping + raining. So that means I have perfect VPD in my tent now. We are sitting at 30C @ 50-55% RH. Most plants have praying leaves, even Lady Banan stops being moody and just start fucking flowering like it should. Finally. But I can see she wanna grow even more upwards, like wtf, this is not 3 meter tent, its only 2.2m, chill the freaking out Lady Banan... Im gonna have literal forest if the rest of Bananas would grow like that. As you can see I'm kinda happy with the grow now. Fungus Gnats still present but under control. Yellow Sticky tape, especially under the mesh window, the tape is catching fuck-ton of these motherfuckers. Few days ago I did "Very Light Stress Training" with Royal Critical. So I basically just tackle the fan leaves in the way, where, when fan leaves are growing bigger, they push the side branches more to the outside (apologize for my English but you can check out the pictures and see what I mean). So she is training by her self, alone, with the power of nature = and it works, she is opening more and more every 2 days. Edit from 25th May @ 21:53 Yoyoyoyoyoyo! So my ADHD and Bipolar kicks in so Idgaf about temps, its colder, around 29C @ 45% They got a lot of fresh air today, I was "luchting" today. I think I had to water them today but... Will do tomorrow morning. I'm thinking about Pimpology classes for myself, for better communication with the bitches, you know what I mean... They ain't thickening up if they aint stressing! Edit from 26th May. Sunday. 7am DOUBLE DROP NEVER STOP LET THAT BEAUTY POP 69 PLANT SIZE: BANAN = 72CM CRITICAL = 65CM ๐Ÿ˜Ž

So far so good. The girls look strong, have been going well. Depending on how fast the keep growing I may have to switch to a 1 gal pot sooner than I thought.

Gelato 44 is doing great, she is coming closer to make some beautiful flowers and I will use some stakes to stabilize her a bid, the weight of the flowers will be pushing her over I think. Plant turned out beautiful so far, great trichome production and an incredible smell. The feeding stays the same for now, I just added some Bio Grow from RQS.

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 12 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Dark Little Unicorn Is Just Doing Her Thing โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’š Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... Here we are again. And honestly? This is probably one of the most boring parts of growing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not because the plants are boring. Quite the opposite. They're beautiful. They're developing. They're stacking. They're getting heavier. They're doing exactly what we want them to do. But... there comes a point where the grower doesn't have a whole lot left to do. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's a perfect example. She's moving. She's growing. She's developing. Her sister is doing the same thing. And we're standing here watching both of them basically say: "Don't worry. We've got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ So what do we do? We do what we have to do. We provide what they ask for. We keep the room running. We keep an eye on everything. We make the necessary adjustments. And then... we watch the show. That's pretty much where we are now. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 12 โ€“ SHE KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Frosted Guava Pheno B continues to move beautifully. She's not sitting still. She's not waiting around. She's continuing to develop those beautiful flowering structures we've been watching build week after week. And what I really like is that her sister is doing the same thing. Both Frosted Guava girls are moving. Both are developing. Both are showing us their own expressions. But they're still not identical. And that's exactly what makes this so interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same nutritional strategy. And yet... two individual plants. Two individual stories. Two different expressions. That's the beauty of having multiple phenotypes side by side. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE BORING PART OF GROWING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Let's be honest. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This part can be a little boring for the grower. You've already done the exciting structural work. You've trained. You've tucked. You've adjusted. You've shaped. You've moved things around. You've watched the stretch. You've watched the flowers appear. You've watched the plants build. And now... what? ๐Ÿ˜‚ You stand there. You look at them. You check them. You make sure everything is where it should be. And then you walk away. Because sometimes... the best thing you can do is nothing. Not literally nothing, of course. We still have responsibilities. We still provide what the plants need. We still monitor the room. We still make the necessary adjustments. But we're no longer trying to create the plant. She's already created herself. Now we're watching her finish the work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE PLANT HAS DONE THE WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's probably the biggest change in the role of the grower at this stage. Earlier: "What should I do?" Now: "Does she need anything?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's a completely different question. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The plant knows where she's going. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Frosted Guava Pheno B doesn't need me standing there trying to redesign her. She doesn't need me telling her where every flower should go. She doesn't need me constantly changing things. She's already doing it. She's growing. She's stacking. She's developing. She's becoming heavier. So... let her. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ STILL THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... she's still our dark little unicorn. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ That deep green character is still one of the first things that catches my eye. It gives her flowers such a beautiful background. The darker foliage. The developing flowers. The bright pistils. The frost. The texture. Everything comes together beautifully. She's not necessarily the biggest girl in the room. She doesn't need to be. She's got her own personality. And I think that's becoming more obvious every week. She's Frosted Guava Pheno B. Not her sister. Not another plant. Not somebody else's description of the genetics. Her. And I really like her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP BUILDING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowers are still doing what flowers are supposed to do at this stage. They're building. They're developing. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial. And that's really what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. She clearly can. We're watching what those flowers become. The structures are becoming increasingly defined. The plant is becoming more substantial. And the whole thing is starting to feel more mature. It's a very satisfying transition. The plant isn't changing dramatically overnight. It's changing incrementally. Week by week. Day by day. And when you compare the photographs... you can see it. That's the beauty of documenting the journey. Sometimes the changes are too subtle to notice while you're standing there. But put two weeks side by side... and suddenly: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ There she is. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ HER SISTER IS RIGHT THERE TOO โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And I really enjoy having her sister in the same room. Because now we're watching two Frosted Guava expressions develop simultaneously. Her sister is moving fast. Pheno B is moving fast. Both are doing their thing. But they're still giving us their own little interpretation of the same environment. That's exactly what I wanted from this project. Not identical plants. Not identical results. But a chance to see how individual expressions develop when the environmental variables are kept broadly consistent. And these two girls are giving us a beautiful little comparison. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ Same family. Different personalities. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š NO NEED TO FORCE ANYTHING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is where I'm becoming increasingly comfortable just letting the plants be plants. There is always a temptation as a grower to feel like: "I should be doing something." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because if you're not touching something... are you really growing? Yes. You are. Sometimes you're growing by leaving the plant alone. Sometimes you're growing by observing. Sometimes you're growing by recognizing that the work has already been done. And that's where we are with Pheno B. She's healthy. She's developing. She's moving. She's building. So I'm not going to invent work just to feel busy. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll give her what she needs. I'll keep watching. And I'll let her do the rest. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS. SAME ROOM. HER OWN STORY. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting environment remains the same upgraded setup we've been running across the 8ร—8 Adventure. The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's expanded lighting capability. And again... we're not trying to make every plant respond identically. That's impossible. The same photons enter the canopy. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is clearly using those photons in her own way. She's building flowers. She's developing structure. She's continuing to mature. And she's doing it beautifully. That's the part of this experiment I never get tired of. Same artificial sun. Different stories. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE CAPABILITY, LESS INTERVENTION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting upgrade gave us more capability. It didn't give us more reasons to interfere. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's an important distinction. We have more lighting available. We control the output. We watch the plants. And then... we let them respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need me to stand there explaining photons to her. She's already catching them. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ She's doing exactly what plants do. Turning light into growth. And now we're simply watching where that growth takes her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ THE ROOM IS STARTING TO TRANSITION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional program is also beginning to move into its next phase with the rest of the room. We're starting to decrease the nutrition as part of the normal progression of the run. Nothing dramatic. Nothing strange. Just another transition. The plants have spent weeks building. Now we're entering the part where we're increasingly watching them mature. And again... I'm not trying to create a special situation for Frosted Guava Pheno B. She's moving with the room. Same overall strategy. Same general approach. And she's handling the transition beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ SAME ROOM.

Same general temperature and humidity strategy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same upgraded lighting environment. Same room. Same grower. Same ecosystem. And yet... look at the different stories coming out of it. That's the experiment. The environment gives the plants the stage. Genetics decide what kind of performance we get. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us a very interesting one. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ SOMETIMES THE HARDEST THING IS DOING LESS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I think every grower eventually learns. Sometimes you have to fight the urge to interfere. Because you see the plant. You see the flowers. You see the changes. And your brain immediately says: "Maybe I should..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe you should not. Maybe she's fine. Maybe she's doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing. Maybe your job is simply to observe. And that's what I'm doing with this girl. Watching. Learning. Enjoying. And doing what needs to be done when it actually needs to be done. That's it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S DOING HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And honestly... that's the perfect description for this week. She's doing her thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's growing. She's stacking. She's developing. She's getting heavier. She's becoming more mature. And she's doing all of it without asking us to reinvent anything. She's not demanding a dramatic intervention. She's simply continuing the journey. And I love that. Because there's something very satisfying about watching a plant reach this stage where you can finally say: "Okay... I've done my part. Now show me what you can do." And she's showing us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS STILL THERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Of course... the frost continues to be one of her signatures. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The flowers continue to show that beautiful textured appearance. The closer you look... the more details you find. Pistils. Resin. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny little details that make each cola different. And that's why these photographs matter. Because the whole plant tells one story... but every flower has its own little chapter. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ And Frosted Guava is giving us plenty of chapters to document. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ ANOTHER WEEK OF WATCHING THROUGH THE LENS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I love the fact that we're still taking these photographs even during what feels like the "boring" part. Because this is exactly when you can miss the changes. One week: "Looks good." The next: "Wait a minute..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ The plant has changed. The flowers have gained more volume. The structure has become more mature. The frost has become more noticeable. The colours have shifted slightly. Nothing dramatic. Everything meaningful. That's why the weekly diary exists. To catch the things we might otherwise overlook. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ THE UNICORN DOESN'T NEED A SCRIPT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I've stopped trying to predict what this girl is going to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She has already shown us that she's perfectly capable of writing her own story. She's an autoflower. She's under 12/12. She's surrounded by photoperiods. Her sister is behaving in her own way. And somehow... everything works. That's what makes this project so much fun. You can make plans. You can create expectations. You can have theories. And then the plants look at you and say: "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And then they grow beautifully anyway. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm watching the details. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Overall plant health. โš–๏ธ Weight and structure. ๐ŸŽจ Colour changes. ๐Ÿฆ„ And, of course... what this little unicorn decides to do next. We're getting closer to the next major chapter. But we're not there yet. So I'm not rushing her. I'm not trying to force the timeline. I'm just watching. And enjoying the process. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LET HER HAVE HER SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Some plants demand the spotlight. Some plants accidentally steal it. And some... quietly earn it. Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of those girls. She's not necessarily the loudest. She's not necessarily the biggest. But she has personality. She's got beautiful flowers. She's got frost. She's got that dark green character. And she's moving beautifully. So yes... she deserves her spotlight. ๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's give it to her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ SOMETIMES WE JUST WATCH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B. And honestly... there isn't some huge dramatic event to report this week. And that's okay. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's simply continuing to grow beautifully. Her sister is moving fast. She's moving fast. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming more substantial. And we're doing what we need to do. That's growing. Not every week needs to contain some crazy intervention. Not every week needs a dramatic transformation. Sometimes the most important thing happening is simply... the plant keeps growing. And our job is to let her. We're providing the environment. We're providing the support. We're making the necessary adjustments. We're watching. We're documenting. And we're waiting for the next chapter. The big work has already been done. Now we're watching the show roll out. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿฆ„ And I really like what I'm seeing. Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming a beautiful plant. She's moving. She's stacking. She's developing. She's getting heavier. She's staying beautifully herself. And that's more than enough. So... let her shine. Let her grow. Let her do her thing. And let's enjoy the quiet part of the journey. Because before we know it... the quiet part will be over. And then... we'll have the scissors in our hands. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But that's another chapter. For now? We're just watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful phenotype continuing to write her own story. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these beautiful girls to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to stop by and watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Frosted Guava Pheno B? You're doing exactly what you need to do. You're growing. You're stacking. You're developing. You're getting heavier. You're becoming more beautiful. And you're doing it without asking for much from me. Honestly... that's a pretty good deal. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep doing what needs to be done... and nothing more. Because sometimes... the plants are doing all the interesting work. We're just lucky enough to be here to watch. ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep moving, the flowers keep stacking, the work slowly becomes less about growing and more about observing, and our little dark unicorn keeps quietly doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ Let her shine.

0.1) Observaรงรฃo Geral Todo o cultivo foi conduzido com monitoramento constante e ajustes precisos de intensidade luminosa (DLI e PPFD), temperatura e umidade, garantindo condiรงรตes ideais em cada estรกgio do desenvolvimento. 1) Substrato e Nutrientes O cultivo foi realizado utilizando รกgua mineral com pH balanceado durante todo o ciclo. Fase vegetativa: fertilizaรงรฃo com BioGrow. Floraรงรฃo: alimentaรงรฃo com Flowermind. A mistura do solo foi composta por 50% de substrato reutilizado, rico em nutrientes do cultivo anterior, e 50% de novo solo (proporรงรฃo 70/15/15), resultando em uma base equilibrada e fรฉrtil. 2) Germinaรงรฃo โ€“ 19 de agosto As sementes foram germinadas utilizando รกgua mineral + perรณxido de hidrogรชnio em copinhos de gelatina individuais. Permaneceram por 24 horas na soluรงรฃo lรญquida, seguidas de 24 horas no escuro total sobre papel toalha umedecido com a mesma รกgua, dentro do mesmo recipiente. Os copos foram abertos apenas a cada 12 horas, em ambiente de baixa luminosidade. Todas as sementes germinaram com sucesso. As sementes com raรญzes de aproximadamente 2 cm foram transferidas para vasos de 1 litro, com adiรงรฃo gradual de substrato conforme o crescimento das plรขntulas, prevenindo o tombamento dos caules. 3) Fase de Plรขntula a) Conduzida sob lรขmpadas de 35W e 50W dentro de uma caixa de papelรฃo personalizada, equipada com coolers e exaustor para controle de temperatura. b) Aplicaรงรฃo de FORT (enraizador) em uma rega, apรณs o aparecimento do primeiro conjunto de folhas com cinco pontas. 4) Topping โ€“ 10 de setembro Foi realizado o primeiro corte apical para incentivar maior ramificaรงรฃo e uma distribuiรงรฃo mais equilibrada de energia. 5) LST (Low Stress Training) โ€“ iniciado em 13 de setembro O treinamento comeรงou trรชs dias apรณs o topping, com amarraรงรตes graduais dos ramos para promover a abertura do dossel e melhor penetraรงรฃo de luz. 6) Transplante โ€“ 27 de setembro Transplante realizado para vasos de 4 litros, com rega leve e adaptaรงรฃo gradual ร  nova base de substrato. 7) Inรญcio da Floraรงรฃo (Troca para 12/12) โ€“ 6 de outubro O fotoperรญodo foi ajustado para 12 horas de luz e 12 horas de escuridรฃo, marcando o inรญcio oficial da fase de floraรงรฃo.

November 16, day 28, Scrog and irrigation installed. With the net installed it's a little tricky (though possible) to hand water, so automatic watering is a nice quality of life improvement. Growth is very tight, maybe a little better suited to sog techniques. Smell is powerful for it's young age. Earliest signs of flowering have begun. November 20, day 32, added video of irrigation. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘‰ Check out marshydro_aliexpress on Instagram (https://instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress?utm_medium=copy_link)

She has been flipped to flowering light schedule after a good flush and defoliation. This plant is looking really healthy. However, I'm not really impressed with the growth. She is not responding well to the LST and topping. I think It would be better to grow this plant in a SOG type grow. I still have 5 more seeds of this strain. I still have plenty of tries to find the best method of growing this strain.

I joined Grow diaries late in my growing career... I wish I would have found this site sooner.. Enjoy! I personally enjoy growing mephisto genetics. I was very happy with the toof decay grow and end result. I ended up letting this cure for 2 months. It is number 2 in my book so far for my adventure with Mephisto seeds. Walter white is #1. I grew this in colder conditions through the winter of 2019. Super dense buds loaded trichs, very loud smell, and great appeal! I have more of these seeds so I will do a start to finish eventually. Happy growingโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿฝ

Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Leafs are yellowing and falling down, but buds Look nice and are growing so i stay positive. I Hope i can give them at least 2 more weeks. Originally, i Planned 4 more weeks until harvest nur we will see
