QUICK GROW STATS/NOTES THROUGHOUT EACH WEEK: ————————————————————————— 5/15: Seed germinated on 5/13 via Cannakan. Planted in Earthbox with BAS 3.0 soil. Sprouted 5/15. ———— 5/18: She's grown. A little stretch, I'd say. I lowered the light closer and checked PPFD using Photone. Right now, she is on a 20-on/4-off light schedule (will change soon). With the Evoframe on 3 or 30%, her light condition is as follows: Light Distance: 2 FT above the seedling PPFD: 252 DLI: 17.8 Pretty soon, as she develops her first set of seedling leaves (a one-finger pair), I'll take out the infrared thermometer to set the VPD offset. ———— 5/19: She's getting bigger! Not much to see here. Check photos! ————————————————————————————— CONTEXT ABOUT THE GROW, SETUP, & ANY OTHER INFO I WANT TO SHARE: I have a 2x4 for veg and a 4x4 for flowering. I plan to scrog train her in the 4x4, hopefully around 1-2ft above the top of the Earthbox. I am also using the new Spectrum AI Camera from AC Infinity! See short clips and photos above. The AI is pretty sweet. It lets you know when it sees stress, if the tent was left open, and more. It also provides daily growth estimates based on historical data. I also use the AC Infinity to get leaf temperature to properly set the VPD offset. At this stage, she's a bit too small to worry about that. I focus on keeping temps around 80F during the day and 72F at night. Also, I keep the humidity around 70-80%. ————————————————————————————— SOIL PREP, TREATMENT, AND PLAN: I use Build A Soil 3.0. For a seedling, this needs NOTHING to begin with. I used Quillaja during prep for the 10-gallon soil bed in the Earthbox. Quillaja is a Saponin wetting agent. I also used WDG3000. This is used to kill fungus gnats or their larvae, if any exist. The microbiology in 3.0 soil can carry this seedling weeks into veg without any feeding. I pre-soaked the soil with 1/2 gallon (5% of the soil's volume) of RO water. No PH. Around 2 weeks into veg, I'll start organically feeding her based on the BAS Supplemental Feeding chart. Top dressing and watering (top, not reservoir) will happen once a week from then on. Shortly after, I'll add 1/2 gal of water to the reservoir and measure how long she takes to drink it. Over time (a few weeks after veg, week 2), I'll ramp her up to 2 gal of water in the reservoir, refilling only when she goes dry. Any additional details are covered in the attached images of the feeding and environmental protocol!

Runtz is a very hardy plant, has a great structure that folds well. The buds are medium sized and insanely hard, full of resin. Even the bottom buds are hard and nice when you let the light through. I definitely recommend this strain

Doubled the nutes this week, ive never followed the feeding chart because the regular feedings were enough. Since I'm outside and i figured I'd give it more to work with since I am trying to pull an obscene number with the size pot I'm working with and veg time. The nodes on the side branches are big enough now to be trained and stretched, this should help me get to 2lbs as I continue to train them out. Had some crazy high winds today, I called that free training.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌿 Finding Her Own Spice There are always a few plants in a room that seem determined to compete for the crown. The tallest. The widest. The biggest. And then there are plants like Frosted Guava. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to make an impression. She has simply found her own way of doing things. Week after week, Frosted Guava Pheno A has continued developing with beautiful consistency. Her foliage remains lush and deeply green, her structure is filling out beautifully, and her flowers are becoming increasingly dense and noticeably frosty. The plant is now entering her fifth week of flowering, and the difference is becoming impossible to miss. She's eating photons. She's converting them into flowers. And slowly but surely, she's filling out everywhere. This girl is finding her own spice. And I really like it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – The Flowers Are Coming Into Their Own At approximately 120 cm, Frosted Guava may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't everything. What matters now is what she's doing with the structure she built. And she's doing a beautiful job. The stretch has largely settled, and the energy of the plant is increasingly directed toward developing the flowers. The individual bud sites are becoming much more substantial, with the flowers beginning to stack and fill along the branches. The most beautiful part right now is the contrast. Those deep green leaves surrounding flowers covered in bright white pistils create an almost electric appearance. The white hairs seem to be reaching in every direction, forming those beautiful little crowns around each developing flower. And beneath them, the flowers are beginning to gain real volume. They're no longer simply there. They're building. 🍃 Deep Green, Lush & Full of Life One of the first things that catches my eye when looking at Frosted Guava this week is the foliage. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look healthy, strong, and full of life, creating a lush backdrop for the developing flowers. There is something particularly satisfying about seeing this combination at this stage of flowering: deep green foliage + bright white pistils + increasing frost. The plant looks like she's completely comfortable in her environment. She's not trying to be something she's not. She's simply growing. And that's becoming her personality. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving The name Frosted Guava is starting to make more and more sense. Resin development is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers, and the developing frost is beginning to give the buds that beautiful sparkling appearance we've been waiting for. We're still far from the finished product, of course. But this is the stage where things start becoming really exciting. Every week, the flowers gain a little more structure. A little more volume. A little more frost. And a little more personality. The white pistils are still beautifully prominent, standing proudly away from the flowers and giving every bud site that classic flowering appearance. They're almost like little flags announcing: "We're not finished yet." And I certainly hope they're not. There's still plenty of work for these flowers to do. ☀️ Eating Photons This is one of my favourite parts of watching a plant develop. We can't actually see photosynthesis happening. But we can see the results. Light enters the canopy. Leaves capture those photons. And the plant turns that energy into growth, structure, flowers, and eventually the beautiful resin-covered buds we're watching develop week by week. Frosted Guava is doing exactly that right now. She's standing underneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, taking in the light, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues bringing additional illumination into the lower portions of the plant. And the response is becoming visible. She's filling out. She's building flower mass. She's turning energy into structure. The room might look like it's simply full of green plants and bright lights. But underneath all of that is an incredible biological process happening every second. And Frosted Guava is working. 💡 Light Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main source of light above the canopy, while Lumiflora continues supporting the lower flowering areas. At approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy, the plants have plenty of photons available during this stage. The under-canopy lighting adds another layer to the system, particularly as the room becomes increasingly full and the foliage naturally creates more shade below the main canopy. I'm especially interested in watching how Frosted Guava's lower flowering sites develop as the flowers continue gaining size. But once again, I'm not going to write the ending before we reach it. The harvest will tell us what the photons actually accomplished. 🌿 A Plant Finding Her Own Personality This is probably what I appreciate most about Frosted Guava. She isn't trying to be the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to stretch endlessly toward the ceiling. She's simply developing her own shape. And now that the flowers are becoming more substantial, that individuality is becoming easier to appreciate. Some phenotypes announce themselves immediately. Others reveal themselves slowly. Frosted Guava feels like the second kind. She's quietly been building a foundation week after week, and now we're beginning to see the reward. A lush plant. Strong foliage. Beautiful flowering sites. Increasing frost. And flowers that are slowly but surely filling out. She's finding her own spice. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains consistent this week: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Watering: approximately 1.3 L per 24 hours Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when the plant is responding beautifully. Consistency continues to be the name of the game. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with remarkably stable conditions: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The combination of stable temperature, humidity, airflow, lighting and irrigation continues creating the environment I'm looking for throughout the flowering room. And Frosted Guava seems perfectly happy inside it. 🌬️ The 8×8 Is Becoming One Garden One of the most exciting things about this stage isn't just watching Frosted Guava. It's looking around the entire 8×8. What began as individual plants occupying their own little spaces has gradually transformed into one enormous flowering ecosystem. Every phenotype still has its own personality. Different structures. Different stretch. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. But together they're becoming one living canopy. And Frosted Guava has found her place within it. She's not the tallest. She's not trying to dominate. She's simply contributing her own character to the garden. And that's exactly what this project was designed to show. 🔭 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue gaining volume and density, the frost should become increasingly obvious, and those beautiful white pistils will slowly begin telling us more about the plant's progression toward maturity. For now, though, I want to see her continue doing exactly what she's doing. Keep the leaves healthy. Keep eating photons. Keep building. Keep filling out. And keep showing us what this particular Frosted Guava phenotype has hidden inside her genetics. She's got her own rhythm. I'm just here to watch it unfold. ❤️ Final Thoughts – She Has Found Her Spice Frosted Guava doesn't need to be the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to compete with anyone. She's Frosted Guava. And she's starting to look really, really good. The deep green foliage. The beautiful white pistils. The first serious signs of frost. The developing flower mass. The way she's gradually filling out across her branches. Everything is coming together. And perhaps that's the most satisfying part of growing different phenotypes together. You give them the same environment. The same philosophy. The same care. And then you step back and watch them tell you who they are. Frosted Guava is telling us now. She's elegant. She's consistent. She's lush. She's frosty. And she's got her own spice. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this adventure possible with these fantastic genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy dimension, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this journey on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and enthusiasm make documenting this entire 8×8 Adventure incredibly special. Until next week... Let's keep watching this girl eat photons and turn them into flowers. ☀️🌿❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Righttt Start of week 4 Amazing if u find the sweet spot for the distance how much they grow in just 3 days. I've been giving some micro nutrients, and feeding I had small light stress on 2 plants moved the lamp to 50 cm They just started to flower smell is getting strong actually 😅 I think i'm kinda pushing it with 7 plants under a 100 w lamp. But i'm trying to get most out of it. 1 obviously is doing not to great... it's 1/2 orion. His neighbour o top is the 2nd orion

Day42 of flowering Girl #1 seems to have tighter buds and is still smaller, but looks like she will finish later (although she popped first by a few days) Girl#2 is much heavier and has sucked the green from her lowest fan leaves even though she is fed well. She also smells soooo good, over ripe cantaloupe/melons. I am really happy with these plants, which I did not top and let colas grow. I am thinking of removing the cola fan leaves to let light blast the other tops. Day 45, Removed almost all fan leaves to expose as much bud as possible to lighting. Scent is very strong and sweet. Very resinous leaf

Update from last week that I forgot: I gave her a final feed at 75%... WEEK 25 DAY 1 ... omg... 😂😂😂 It really took me half a year to finish this one... unbelievable... 😅 Well, so far I'm still super happy. Everything seems to go just fine but I'll never do this again..haha.. (vegging under a 50W bulb xD)... Soooo... looking at the trichs, I think the harvest window has just opened. There's still a lot of clear but the cloudy ones are starting to come and there's already a little amber on the leaves. I suppose I'm really close to harvest now. I'll be flushing her next time for sure. First, I'll feed her a low nutrient solution, maybe around 25% and half of the usual water quantity because I'm not that sure about when she really finishes so she dries out more quickly. Next, I'll use Grotek Final Flush right before I'll chop her down. I don't want to use this right away because last time my plants were dying a bit too fast so.. not to be repeated ;) Getting impatient now. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas...haha! DAY 2 Gave her one last feed at 25%. Poured only half of the usual water quantity. Left the BloomComplex totally aside because she seems like she's doing a little 'clawing'. Maybe there's too much Nitrogene? Trichs are beginning to get cloudy, with a little amber in between. I'll flush her with plain ph'd water tomorrow probably or should I wait some more days? What do you think? I'm never sure when the time is right... :/ DAY 3 I just took some more pictures with a macro lens attached to my iPhone. Seems like the buds in the middle do have way more amber than the other ones around which have swollen more compared to the ones in the middle but have less amber. The last days, I didn't check the ones in the middle so I changed my mind. I just flushed her with Grotek Final Flush. I'll wait for some hours for the solution to break down the salts and then I'll flush again to get rid of the flushing solution. I'm also gonna switch the timetable to 8/16. (16 hours of dark) and I'll drop the temperatures some 2 more degrees.

Day 30: The Fastbuds seeds have turned around and are coming along nicely. I moved both vivosun 600w leds to the top of the tent and that is helping them to stretch and create bud sites. I put tomato cages to open up the side branches and they responded very well to it. Would you growers who are experienced with autos defoliate some of the leaves or let them do their thing? The plants will soon be starting to preflower. I don’t want to stunt them, but if it will benefit like it does to photos, I’m game. These plants are getting watered about 1-1.5 L per day, I have been feeding about 500-625 ppm and a ph of 5.3-5.6, which seems to be working for them. There is noticeable daily growth from most plants. The plants in the 7 gal fabric pots of coco are just showing their first pistils at node sites and clustered leaves at tops while the 5 gal plastic pots of soilless are already showing numerous pistils at the tops. The OG is the smallest, but broke ground 2-3 days after the Critical, White widow and Northern Lights. It seems to require less light, so it is moved to the corner as best as I can. It is starting to stretch out a little bit more, but is very leafy. I’m glad to see that these plants are doing better than 2 weeks ago and looking forward to see what happens next. Happy Growing 🌱

So the bigger one I keep under watering it’s drinking a half gallon every two-3 days and I’ve never watered this much so I keep hesitating and wilting her other two are doing amazing switch nutes to the geoflora they didn’t respond well to the advanced nutes so we will see what happens one is actually flowering finally one is barley starting and the other hasn’t and it’s day 42 I’m kinda confused started silica on 1/4 so hopefully they like it they are looking good tho my canopy is staying level for the most part I’m happy with this grow so far

Am Wochenende haben wir das Netz gespannt. 2/3 der Blütezeit hat sie jetzt ca. hinter sich gebracht. Nach dem ausharren und dem neutralisieren des gekippten Wassers, trat sehr schnell auch ein Mangel sehr vermutlich ,,Schwefel,, am Haupttrieb im obigen Bereich auf. Da wir aber so oder so in der ersten Woche mit erhöhtem Mineralien bedarf (Top- Max) uns befinden, ist dieses nach dieser Situation ein absolut positives Anzeichen, da es bedeutet das sie die Nährstoffe benötigt und somit auch verarbeitet. Auffallend und auch nicht mehr zu ignorieren sind die Thripse. Um diese kümmern sich aber ab Paketeintreffen die neuen Florfliegenlarven. Ansonsten haben wir beim Netzt Spannen noch kleine nachwachsende Stins weggenommen um wirklich alle benötigte Kraft in die Cola´s zu bekommen. Wir Gießen im Moment ca. alle 24 Stunden 4 Liter Nährstofflösung inkl. 0,08 g Co2_ Tablette und 4 ml PK14/15 Wir wünschen allen Growmies viel Erfolg und eine angenehme Woche! Seit dem 16.10.24 wird Sie nur noch 11 Stunden beleuchtet und statt 4 Liter mag sie im moment eher wieder die 3 Liter pro Tag Nährstofflösung.
