Welcome the KingBong's first GrowDiary!!🦍🌱 The grow box is still being finished off but I'm happy with results so far. I'll be adding a custom carbon filter In the top corner and also a small intake fan low down... also a door!! This is going to be a fun experiment hopefully you all enjoy ✌️🇬🇧

Comming soon

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything. Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers. Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;))) Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven. Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks. Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;))) Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever. Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ? Happy Growing !

Dont Stopable...

Day 51 veg done a bit more lst and hst and topping now gonna give it 1 more week then 12/12

2 Semana de crecimiento, hay bastante diferencia en el tamaño con alguna ZEPA similar en recipiente de 7L, menos capacidad más tamaño, sin embargo color amarillento el cual demuestra un desajuste, creo que es exceso de fertilización y/o riego. Por ello estoy sin regar 3 días viendo el peso de las macetas, a veces regamos demasiado olvidándonos de que la plata todavía no desarrollo suficientes raíces como para absorber tal magnitud. Parece que van recuperando su verde intenso, sinonimo de Salud & Bienestar

Everyone is doing well.

Just water to bring em on home. I think I’m really gonna like this lung buster. No fruit. But the MM smells all the sweet and gas

Just getting started on the right foot. Coco and bags sterilized and flushed thoroughly with 0.7EC at 6.0pH solution. Will transplant tomorrow once the coco drains down a bit. Plants look great and excited to push down the accelerator. 4/2 - transplanted into 3 gal and watered in. 4/4 - Reservoir cleaned, sanitized, and online. Switched to tap water (0.3EC) and nutes at 0.8EC for total of 1.1. Ph 5.9. New feed pump installed (no more getting electrocuted when I put my hand in the bucket. YAY!) and 5" watering rings installed. PPFD 550. 4/5 - really quite chuffed. PPFD to 600 and they are looking great. Moved Zoey up 2" to match canopy height. 4/6 - switched Silica Boost to foliar spray at rate of 40ml / gal in RO water, pH to 5.8

This beauty is on autopilot at the moment. I’ve been watching the temps and doing what I can when I am home. It’s been soooo hot. My tent has been getting to 84 degrees regularly, I’m hoping that it won’t stress her out. I will be ordering a T8 in-line fan from AC infinity to accommodate the summer temps and RH and ensure good air circulation. Couple Of weeks still to go, she is a 9-10 week strain , but she is definitely proving to be worth the extra time. Her colas are getting nice and fat, and should be a good producer for me.

Day 15. Girls are steady but no major growth yet. Day 19- stardawg girls seem to be just a bit infront in terms of growth rate compared to the GSC. 2 stardawg, 2 Girl Scout cookies in soil. One of each in rockwool cubes which seem to be growing nicely. Just double stacked them today. Used the rockwool along side soil as a little experiment as I’ve had good results in the past. Due to these being autos I’m wondering if they would of all been better in cubes. Time will tell. Also had one of the Girl Scout cookies showing possible overfeeding but keeping a close eye on all plants and feeds will be just water till I establish what’s caused it. Any questions feel free to ask!

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 5 | The Giant Begins to Wear Her Crown Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite things about documenting every single phenotype individually is watching how differently each plant interprets exactly the same environment. Same room. Same lighting. Same feeding philosophy. Same genetics. Yet every plant develops her own personality. Godfather OG Pheno A has quickly established herself as one of the giants inside the tent, standing proudly above many of her neighbours while beginning the exciting transition into flowering. She’s becoming impossible to ignore. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For those discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than extending the vegetative period before changing the light cycle, every plant has received a consistent 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very first day of life. This allows every phenotype to determine its own natural timing. Instead of deciding when flowering begins… …the plants decide for themselves. That is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire experiment. Although every plant shares the same environment, no two stories have unfolded exactly the same. ⸻ 🌸 The Transition Has Begun This week officially marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower. She’s living in that beautiful transition where vegetative growth hasn’t completely stopped, but flowering has clearly taken over. Fresh white pistils are now appearing throughout the canopy, confirming that reproductive growth is well underway. Those delicate white hairs are the first visible signs of future flowers. Over the coming weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each flowering site develops into what we all hope will become dense, resin-covered colas. It’s one of the most exciting stages of the entire grow. Every day brings noticeable changes. ⸻ 🌿 One of the Giants of the Room Standing at approximately 75 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has become one of the tallest plants in this entire project. Her structure is beautifully balanced. Strong stems. Excellent internodal spacing. Healthy branching. The Low Stress Training carried out during the previous weeks is now beginning to reveal its purpose. By gently bending stems and opening the canopy instead of forcing aggressive structural changes, light is reaching more growing tips while the plant continues developing naturally. Every adjustment made earlier is now beginning to pay dividends. Sometimes patience truly is the best training technique. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Feeding System This phenotype is growing in one of my AutoPot systems. The AutoPot works through a remarkably simple but effective device called the AquaValve. Rather than operating on timers or pumps, the AquaValve automatically refills the tray only after the plant has consumed the available nutrient solution. In other words… The plant decides when she wants another drink. This creates an incredibly stable root environment while reducing fluctuations in moisture and nutrient availability. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also evolved to support the transition. Bloom nutrients have now joined the schedule while maintaining enough vegetative support to fuel the final stretch before the plant focuses entirely on flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues performing exactly as planned. Current averages include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly elevated during this stretch phase to support vigorous growth and healthy transpiration. As flowers begin stacking over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for dense, healthy blooms. Maintaining environmental stability is every bit as important as feeding the plants themselves. Healthy plants are built through consistency. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document her progress from multiple perspectives. Close-up shots highlight the first pistils emerging across the growing tips. Side views reveal her impressive vertical growth and balanced branching. Bird’s-eye views showcase an increasingly even canopy thanks to the weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with controller readings to continue documenting every aspect of this project as accurately as possible. Watching the room evolve week after week is becoming just as rewarding as watching the individual plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More white pistils should appear across every branch, and the first true flower clusters will begin forming as the plant shifts more energy toward reproduction. Training will remain gentle, with only small adjustments made where necessary to maintain an open canopy and maximize light penetration. The real building phase is only just beginning… …and I have a feeling this lady has plenty more to show us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary, every photograph, every update is part of a much bigger story, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of it. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the incredible genetics behind this phenotype hunt. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrients that keep these ladies thriving. 💡 Future of Grow LED for providing the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment throughout the entire grow. And finally… Thank you to everyone reading, commenting, supporting, asking questions, sharing advice, or simply following along. Whether you’re a grower, a learner, a supporter, or just curious, you’re part of this adventure too. I’ll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues her journey from vigorous growth into what promises to be a spectacular flowering run. Growers love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

Hey everyone :-). The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer. Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻. There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎. I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

4/6/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 1- Last week in VEG, They are all looking amazing and no worry about stretch when I flip Next Saturday they are indica and I have more than 50% of distance from the top of the plant to the lights with a little more I can raise the lights if necessary. So going to really just enjoy this last week of VEG, and get my Cloning equipment ready. I will be taking 2 cuts for each this is also a PHENO hunt for HWG and he not only has the prize for the winner but he also has an additional bounty on a cut of the winner. I did have to take some from around the edges to keep them from touching. 4/7/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 2- Didn't do anything today but watch them grow.. They will be getting a really good flip trim and clean up for clone material on Friday/ Saturday. 4/8/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 3- Couldn't even get a picture of the #1 at first too much Foliage throughout.. So I had to clean that up and make sure they all still have some separation before flip. 4/9/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 4- Huston we almost had an issue.. I looked at my Res and she was in desperate need of 10 gallons to get her through until next water change on Saturday. So I added 10 gallons and the Nutes. I added 10 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: CalMag= 1.00Mil/Gal= 10Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGro= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil 4/10/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 5- Had to giver them a huge clean up today I couldn't even see the numbers in the first pic. I am also worried that #1 and #3 really, really are getting huge over the last few days.. starting to think I should have flipped them this past Saturday.. The interesting things is even though this is an Indica Strain, I might have to super crop just to keep them off the lights. The joys and sorrows of RDWC and timing. 4/11/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 6- Even though Flipping in Two days almost wish I would have gone at Week 7. I am really worried about #3, #1 and #2 are huge and when I put them in flower they are going to stretch out 4/12/2024 - Vegetation Week 8 Day 7- Day of Work.. Lots of Work.. I gave all three a Cloning/Flower cleaning.. all three got cleaned up top Inside and bottom, I took 2 cuts of each to see which one come out on top then I will kill off the other cuts once I have a winner in flower. I clean up this thoroughly before I flip because it reduces the work load on the next major clean up I do on Week 4 of Flower.and they are so much taller that it is going to be a pain in the ass to maintain canopy space for #3, we will see how it goes and adjust as necessary..

Finally flower. They are 4 feet now. What am I going to do? I don't want them to burn into the light.

Hey now....This week went pretty good, I transplanted both seedlings from solo cups to 3.4 gallon airpots on day 16, and I also began high frequency fertigation that same day. I am running lights from 12AM to 6PM, and I feed at lights on and every 5 hours after that. Nutes are Silica, Cal Mag, and Maxi Gro with an EC of about 1.2 and a PH of 5.9ish. I am planning to top them both this week probably around day 25ish to the 3rd node, once I feel the roots are strong enough to bounce back instantaneously to the topping. I will start training the mainline within 24-48 hours of the topping as long as they respond well to the topping. I am still only running a 100 Watt Led light for them, but I am thinking about running a 400watt Super Metal Halide Bulb just to build the manifold, then switch over to LED's for flower. I did squeeze some of the bubble hash from the first planet of the grapses run, and all I can say is wow.....it truly tastes amazing and will absolutely put someone on all fours. So far so good with these two little ladies, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, thanks for stopping by and Blaze On!!!
