Update Blütetag 45 Hey Leute, hier mal neue Bilder für euch! Leider sehen die Pflanzen langsam alle bisschen abgerockt aus, aber die Blüten find ich ganz ok. Hab die Woche nur Wasser gegeben und davon auch sehr wenig, hab mir n Messgerät zugelegt und würde mal behaupten ich hatte sie überwässert (Stony hatte mich noch davor gewarnt). Sonst ist nicht viel passiert ausser dass die Mädels heute nochmal einmalig meinen neuen Zaubertrunk probieren durften, dann weiss ich schonmal für den nächsten run ob das in Kombination so passt. Schönes Wochenende euch allen! 🤠💚

Semana 6 Floración 🌼

Finally I meet you… she’s flowering and guess what I’ve done, due to an foreseen circumstance, going to be away for a month, and all I know is my babies will get water and rain if it does rain, Sad days ahead, however at least the are sheltered from the rising temperatures. As good as it is, guess what this genius does… you guessed it, i defoliated my babies. I hope my decision rewards me, I will surely find out when I return in September, I thought of getting my assistant to send me pictures so I can keep posting, however I think it’s best I stay completely away from posting. This will truly test my growing skill, not forgetting my building skill when it comes to the greenhouse, with temperatures rising I will finally see if this self ventilate design will keep humidity at a desirable level to promote adequate growth, I have not encountered any fungal or pest isssues, but usually problems arise during the hot seasons.

Hey everyone, my ladies are still too yellow for me. But they don't seem to mind. They all stick and smell like hell but "Iris" hardly has buds larger than my thumbnail. I really like all the others. I have no idea how long. But think 2-3 weeks. ...and I now manage to keep my RH in the tent easily lower than in the space around it. Yihaaaa Nice weekend @all

Finally decent temperatures and we can start the flower! They recovered well from the temperature shock and show some growth. They got a massive haircut and trained. Now they can enter flower stage. Each plant got 50 g of Wizzy's Flower 6-8-10 organic fertilizer, 3 g / 10 L of Plant Booster and 1g / Liter Weedtamines. A few days ago. Tomorrow they'll get their dose of Pflanzengeflüster (Plant Whisper) to increase flower production.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Small Plant. Big Personality. And Now… A Little Less Green. There are plants that follow the plan. And then there are plants that write their own story. Frosted Guava Pheno B has been doing the latter from the beginning. She has never been the biggest plant in the room. She hasn't chased height, hasn't tried to dominate the canopy, and hasn't demanded much intervention. Instead, she has quietly developed her own personality. Compact. Elegant. Beautifully structured. And increasingly covered in flowers. Now, entering her fifth week of flowering, she has reached another important moment in her journey. This week, she joined the group receiving a selective flowering defoliation. Not because she was struggling. Not because she was unhealthy. And certainly not because every plant needs to be defoliated. Quite the opposite. She was looking fantastic. But after looking carefully at her structure, her development, and the way light and airflow were moving through the plant, I felt that removing some unnecessary foliage was the right decision. So we went in. We cleaned her up. And now we're going to see what she does with the extra space. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Her Own Story Frosted Guava Pheno B is currently around 108 cm tall. That still makes her one of the more compact plants in the room. But honestly? I don't think she cares. 😂 She has found her own architecture and she's sticking with it. The flowers continue developing beautifully, with increasingly visible frost and those characteristic white pistils reaching outward from the developing buds. Her foliage has remained lush and healthy, with that beautiful deep green colour we've been following since the beginning. The plant looks comfortable. The flowers are developing. And now we're starting to see more definition between the different parts of the plant. This is exactly the kind of moment where stepping back and looking at the whole plant becomes important. Because sometimes the question isn't: "Can I remove this leaf?" The better question is: "Does this leaf still have a useful job to do here?" And that's where this week's defoliation came from. ✂️ Defoliation – What We Actually Did This wasn't a complete strip. It wasn't a race to make the plant look naked. And it wasn't about removing leaves simply because they were large. The approach was selective. I removed most of the fan leaves carrying their own petioles, particularly where they were contributing to unnecessary shading or creating congestion inside the plant. I also cleaned the lower and interior portions of the plant where some flowering sites were positioned so far below the productive canopy that I didn't expect them to develop into meaningful flowers. Those areas are what I would consider the true bottoms on a compact plant like Frosted Guava. And that's an important distinction. Because this plant is small. Her lower sites really are lower. Even with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting helping bring additional photons into the lower canopy, the primary productive zone of the plant remains higher up. So rather than allowing the plant to spend resources maintaining foliage and very low sites that are unlikely to contribute much, I decided to clean those areas selectively. But I didn't remove everything. Some lower flowering sites remain. I want to see what they can actually do. That's part of the experiment. 🌿 What Is Defoliation? For anyone new to growing: Defoliation is the intentional removal of selected leaves from a plant to alter the structure of the canopy. The goal isn't simply to have fewer leaves. The goal is to create a better balance between: light penetration + airflow + canopy structure + productive flowering sites. Leaves are extremely valuable. They're the plant's solar panels. So removing them should never be treated as something automatically beneficial. Every leaf removed is a piece of photosynthetic machinery removed. That's why I don't approach defoliation as: "Flower started. Time to strip the plant." Instead, I look at the plant in front of me. Is the canopy becoming too dense? Are leaves heavily shading developing flowers? Are there congested areas where airflow is poor? Are there leaves that are doing very little because they're buried underneath several layers of foliage? Are there lower sites that realistically have very little opportunity to develop? If the answer is yes, then selective defoliation can make sense. If the answer is no... Leave the plant alone. 🚫 What Defoliation Is NOT This is probably even more important. Defoliation is not: ❌ Removing every fan leaf ❌ Trying to expose every single flower to direct light ❌ A substitute for good plant structure ❌ A guaranteed way to increase yield ❌ Something every plant needs at the same time ❌ An excuse to strip a healthy plant simply because you can The objective isn't to make the plant look clean for the sake of appearance. The objective is to improve the functional canopy. And there's a big difference. A beautiful green leaf isn't a problem simply because it's a beautiful green leaf. If it's healthy, receiving light, contributing to photosynthesis and helping the plant, I have no reason to remove it. But when the canopy becomes crowded and certain leaves are contributing more obstruction than productivity, that's when selective removal becomes interesting. ✂️ How I Approach It My approach is simple: I observe first. I don't start with a predetermined number of leaves that must disappear. I start by looking at the structure. Then I work from the outside toward the interior and from the top toward the lower portions, looking for unnecessary congestion. Leaves that are heavily shading productive flowering sites can be candidates. Leaves buried underneath several other leaves can be candidates. Leaves occupying congested interior areas can be candidates. And lower growth that is so far beneath the productive canopy that it has little realistic opportunity to develop can also be considered. But I always keep the plant's overall health in mind. The goal is balance, not maximum removal. That's why Pheno B still has plenty of green. She's not naked. She's simply better organized. 💡 The Under-Canopy Question This is particularly interesting with Frosted Guava Pheno B because we're running Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Someone might reasonably ask: "If you have light underneath, why remove the lower growth?" That's a very fair question. And the answer is that under-canopy lighting doesn't magically make every lower flower equal to a top flower. On a compact plant like this, the very lowest parts are still extremely low relative to the main productive canopy. The under-canopy lighting is helping reinforce the lower and interior areas, but I still want to observe where the plant naturally allocates its energy. That's why I deliberately left some lower flowering sites behind. I don't want to assume. I want to watch. Will those remaining lower sites develop? Will the extra light make a noticeable difference? Will the upper flowers continue dominating? That's exactly the kind of question this project allows us to explore. And the harvest will eventually give us the answer. ☀️ More Light Where It Matters The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary light from above, with approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. Frosted Guava may be compact, but she certainly isn't short on photons. She's been sitting underneath that light throughout flowering, converting those photons into leaves, flowers, structure and now increasingly visible resin. And with the selective defoliation, we're changing how some of those photons move through her architecture. We're not creating more photons. We're simply trying to make better use of the ones already available. That's the idea. Don't waste energy chasing light. Build a canopy where the available light can actually do its job. ❄️ And The Frost Is Getting Serious The name Frosted Guava continues becoming more appropriate every week. The flowers are developing beautifully, and the resin production is becoming increasingly visible. Those white pistils are still everywhere, creating an incredible contrast against the deep green foliage. And underneath all those hairs, the flowers are beginning to gain more structure and density. This is the stage where I love looking at the same plant from week to week. Because the change isn't always dramatic overnight. But compare the plant to where she was a few weeks ago... And suddenly you realize: She's building. She's filling out. She's gaining flower volume. She's becoming increasingly defined. She's becoming Frosted Guava. 🌿 Small Plant. Big Character. I've said this about her before, but this week makes it even more obvious. Frosted Guava Pheno B doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She's already found something more interesting. Character. Her sister Pheno A has followed a different path. And that's one of the beautiful things about running phenotypes together. Same genetics. Same room. Same light. Same nutrition. Same philosophy. Different personalities. Pheno B has chosen to remain compact and elegant. And now, as flowering progresses, she's showing us exactly what that compact structure can become. 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering We're continuing with hand watering throughout the room. Current feeding remains centered around the Plagron flowering program: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters are around: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.2 L per 24 hours Hand watering has also given me another opportunity to observe this plant closely. Every time I water her, I get another chance to look at the flowers, inspect the leaves, check the structure and notice those tiny changes that are easy to miss when everything is automated. It takes more work. But it also brings you closer to the plants. And sometimes that's where the best observations happen. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: approximately 72% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm With the canopy becoming increasingly dense, airflow and humidity management become even more important. That's another reason selective defoliation can be useful at this stage. Not because leaves are inherently bad. But because a dense flowering canopy can create small pockets where air movement becomes less effective. Opening selected areas gives the room a little more breathing space. And that's particularly valuable as the flowers continue developing. 🔭 Looking Ahead Now comes the interesting part. We've changed the architecture. We've removed some unnecessary foliage. We've cleaned the lower sections. We've opened some of the interior. And now... we wait and observe. I want to see how quickly she responds. I want to see how the flowers develop with the improved canopy structure. I want to see what happens to those lower sites we deliberately left behind. And most importantly, I want to see how Frosted Guava Pheno B continues writing her own story. Because she's already made one thing very clear: She doesn't need to follow anybody else's timetable. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Frosted Guava Pheno B has been one of those plants that quietly earns your attention. She didn't arrive in the room demanding the spotlight. She didn't become the tallest. She didn't become the biggest. She simply kept growing. And week after week, she became more beautiful. Now she's entered another chapter. A little less foliage. A little more breathing room. A little more light moving through the canopy. And plenty of flowers left behind to show us what she's capable of. The important thing about this week's defoliation isn't how many leaves we removed. It's why we removed them. Because good cultivation isn't about following a recipe blindly. It's about looking at the plant in front of you and making decisions based on what she's actually telling you. And Frosted Guava Pheno B was telling me: "I'm ready." So we listened. Now let's see what she does. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for helping illuminate the lower canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control and of course to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week, every phenotype tells us something different. And that's exactly why I love this project. Until next week... Let her shine. She has earned her spotlight. ✨🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Woche 4 Topping und Blattschnitt. Der Blattschaden wird wohl durch die zu abrupte Umstellung kommen. Etwas viel Licht und Wind im neuen Zelt der kleinen . 45. DLI (noch aus der letzten Blüte) wurde erstmal auf 35 DLI reduziert.

Inizio lavaggio dalla scorsa settimana

What an absolute stonker. I cant believe how big she has got in just 2 weeks. So many colas and buds. The smell is so good and gettinng some nice colour. Still a long way to go, she is going to be a good one.

Hello friends! this is my first experience as a SPLIF manufacturer! and I will lead the grow with great interest and attention! Let's grow a huge blueberry bush together!

Last week was just too rainy and stormy. It was in danger of being completely lost. I harvested it now to save what I could. I can't even imagine how big the harvest would have been if I had harvested the whole plant? Definitely over 1 kg. A really great landrace.

Sooo...was soll man sagen... die lady hat einebrutalegeschwindigkeit...nach dem toppen bildet sie einen fast perfekten wuchs für mich. ich werde unten eine kleine seiten blüte bestäuben^^ da möcht ich schauen ob die geschwindigkeit vielleicht mit ner eigenen genetik kombiniert was taugt =D bis jetzt gibts nix zu meckern...tadellose lady 🙏🙏🙏

Week 9 is allmost done we are at day 5 , wanted to share video and in 2 days i will add pictures , grow is allmost finished around 7-10 days more maybe faster depends on trycoms . Week 9 done , we have one more Final Week , i feeded them yesterdy with Bloom TopMax and Bioheaven around 450ppm and next watering it is RO + Cannazym 2ml /L

It's blooming beautifully. It's been on automatic watering all week. A 5mm tube is attached to the roots. Currently, a 5-liter bottle lasts 2-3 days per plant. I'm thinking of installing a 15-liter canister so I can go at least a week without having to look at it. Currently, the 5-liter tank with the solution is pumped with oxygen by an aquarium aeration stone and a 2.5-watt Hailea pump (a powerful one, but that's the only one I had in stock).

Hi growers, We are heading into the final stretch!!! Two days ago I carefully took a seed out of a bud on one plant using tweezers, planted it and it sprouted without any issues, which is great news. On the other plant the seeds have not reached full maturity yet. I think we might see each other at harvest next week ✂️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jdeme do finále!!! Před dvěma dny jsem u jedné rostliny opatrně pinzetou vyndal semínko z palice, zasadil ho a bez problémů vyklíčilo, což je skvělá zpráva. U druhé rostliny semínka zatím nedosáhla plné zralosti. Myslím ale, že příští týden bychom se mohli vidět u sklizně ✂️ Peace and happy growing✌️

I slacked on the last few weeks because she wasn’t looking the greatest but I’m getting her back to being healthy, so far there’s a lot of lovely looking budsites that smell gassy as hell, I’m excited to see how she turns out :)
