Come on !!!!! ❤️🙏

We have arrived at the end of week 2 for the 16oz dutch bucket setup and this auto ghost og is doing my pretty well. I topped her on day 10 and started a little training on day 13. I would normally up the feed a little at this point but I have a couple plants in the system that are a week behind, so I am going to give them a few more days to catch up before increasing the dose. They are still getting 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. Should start to see a growth spurt by the end of next week as long as I keep them happy.

- I didn't weight wet buds. - The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest on buds all over the plant. - First time I see and have pink trichomes, they are beautiful! - The hash ball was a little less than 1cm diameter and was really good :) - Drying was made at 20°C and around 50% of humidity. - Humidity in jar between 60 and 65% on the first day, temperature around 20°C. Veg time : 56 days. Flowering time : 63 days. Total time from seed to harvest : 119 days. Height : 81cm Pot size : 26l

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 8 | The Demanding Queen Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If last week Godfather OG Pheno A was reaching for the sky, this week she's making something very clear... She's demanding. 👑 Of all the ladies in the room, this phenotype has been one of the harder ones to keep up with. She seems to want more food, more attention, more everything. While the rest of the room follows along quite comfortably, she keeps asking for just a little bit more. But that's also what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Twelve genetics. One environment. One feeding strategy. 24 completely different personalities. And Godfather OG Pheno A definitely has a personality. 🌱 A Plant That Keeps Asking for More At approximately 169 cm, she's still one of the tallest plants in the room. The impressive part isn't simply her height, though. It's how much flower development she's carrying along that structure. She's still stretching, still reaching, and still building new flower sites while gradually transitioning toward heavier production. Keeping up with her hasn't always been easy, but she's rewarding the extra attention with some beautiful development. 🌸 The Flowers Are Starting to Get Interesting This is probably what I'm enjoying most this week. The bud formation is becoming much more obvious, and the flowers are beginning to take on their own shape rather than simply looking like early clusters. There's a lot of fresh white pistil growth, increasingly visible resin production, and a structure that makes me very curious about where she'll end up. And then there's the smell... She's starting to develop an aroma that is becoming increasingly noticeable every time I work around her. I have a feeling this girl may surprise me. It's still too early to make any predictions, but she's certainly giving me reasons to keep watching closely. 🍃 A Lighter Shade of Green One thing that's particularly noticeable this week is the lighter coloration in some of her foliage. She's not wearing the same deep green uniformity as some of the other phenotypes, and there are areas of lighter green across the leaves. Considering how demanding she has been nutritionally, it's something I'm keeping an eye on. At the same time, the plant is continuing to grow, the flowers are developing, and the overall structure remains beautiful. So rather than trying to immediately "fix" something that isn't necessarily broken, I'm watching her response and letting the plant tell me where she wants to go. That's part of the experiment. ✂️ No Defoliation... Yet We're not defoliating Godfather OG Pheno A this week. Her natural structure is still giving the flowers plenty of room, and I don't feel the need to interfere just for the sake of doing something. Eventually, she will probably receive the same treatment as some of the others. But for now... She gets to be herself. Sometimes the best cultivation technique is knowing when to leave the scissors alone. 🍽️ Feeding the Queen As always in the 8×8 Adventure, the room continues to follow a shared feeding strategy. This week's nutrition included: Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Power Buds – 1 ml/L Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L when required The increase in Terra Bloom is part of the room's flowering strategy rather than something specifically adjusted for this phenotype. But Godfather OG Pheno A certainly seems to be one of the ladies asking us to pay attention to what that feeding produces. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room remains remarkably consistent: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Humidity: 60% pH: 6.0 TDS/EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 22°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: 639 ppm Watering: approximately 1.4 L per plant / 24h Light schedule: 12/12 Height: 169 cm And that's exactly what makes her behaviour so interesting. The environment hasn't changed dramatically. She has. 👑 The Queen May Have a Surprise Coming Looking at her this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: There might be something special hiding inside this phenotype. She's demanding. She's hungry. She's tall. She's still developing. And she's beginning to smell very, very interesting. She's certainly not the easiest girl in the room. But sometimes the difficult ones are the ones that teach us the most. And when I look at those flowers developing along her towering structure, I can't help wondering what she's going to look like when she finally decides that stretching is over and it's time to put everything into the flowers. For now, I'm simply enjoying the journey. 💚 Thank You Thank you for joining me for another week of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to remind me why growing multiple phenotypes under the same conditions is so fascinating. We can give them the same room, the same light, the same nutrition and the same care... And they will still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno A may be one of the demanding queens of this room, but she's also becoming one of the most interesting. A huge thank you to everyone following along, supporting the diary, sharing knowledge and enjoying the journey with me. And of course, my gratitude to: 💚 GrowDiaries 👑 Zamnesia for the genetics 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition 💡 Future of Grow LED for the lighting 🌿 TrolMaster for environmental control ✨ Lumiflora for the under-canopy lighting I'll see you next week to find out whether our demanding Queen finally starts slowing down... Or whether she has even more to ask from us. 👑🌱 Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 💚

I got a replacement CMH bulb, my phone camera has trouble deciding whether it's HPS or CMH 😊 Things are really filling out, the branches are falling over. I am happy with this grow, each plant has its own characteristics and they all seem to be of high quality in their own right. RIP Nevil Schoenmakers sad news this week

Well this is a fun line up, as you can see the White Widow has some albinism but it does not seem to be holding her back as she is very beautiful and strong. The Kabul is the tallest in this line up and she seems as though she will be a tower of love. The Black Opium has many mutations as you can see but we are very hopeful she will sort herself out, as always it seems the ones who fight the hardest can sometimes turn out to be the most brilliant and we have hopes for her. The Purple Opium is doing a great job at this thing called life, we look forward to watching them all bloom, but this one holds a special place in our tent!

420 Fastbuds Week 8 Amnesia Zkittlez Auto What up grow fam. Happy late Thanksgiving to all. These two lovely ladies are growing stellar. The smell and colors they're producing are so cool. Flowers are dense to the touch and leave your fingers super sticky. The bigger leafs are starting to yellow sucking up what nutes the plant can before finishing up. Super excited about this strain to see how it'll turn out. All in all Happy Growing

Day 53

5th week of Flowering is over. Still observing some darkening on the tips of the Yellow Orange. On the other hand, the plant seems still very healthy and it’s growing frosty flowers. Its smell is dominating the tent with a citrus scent. It is smelling more citrus than a real lemon… Target VPD is still set to 1,5 with 23 Celcius Target Temp. Top Left: Wonder Pie (GHSC) Top Right: Lemon Orange (GHSC) Middle: Mimosa Evo (Barney’s - Clone) Bottom Left: Runtz (Barney’s - Clone) Bottom Right: Exotic Runtz (Exotic Seed)

Day 56- Starting to frost up. She's not as thick as my other autos but she sure has way shinier trichs than the rest. I like the pronounced purpling also. Im hoping she kicks it into turbo drive this week and starts to bulk up. Day 61-WOW she is really colorful in so many ways. The leaves are sun damaged but under control now but the buds are forming jut fine and turning a nice purple. So many trichomes, making this plant shine like crazy.

Very dynamic effect. Keep head clear and no stress. Crafty vaporiser effect is the best.

Training methods include the several weeks I missed. As of this week no training. Morning Glory- 35.5” Tall Mexican Haze (in-ground)-40” Tall Mexican Haze- 33” Tall Love Drunk- 25” Tall Ackbar OG- 26.5” Tall Crazy Glue- 38” Tall The nutrients used are from a once a week ordeal. Normally it’s just tap water. I still need to update the info on the other two Love Drunks as well as the Fruity Pebbles.

Watered a gallon between the four of them this week (goal to maintain moisture in the beds.) found mycelium growing on top of the beds today, a great sign for soil health! The runt is still runty; if one of the seeds in the solo cups overtakes her in growth, I will probably cull the runt and replace her. Going to be topping in the next day or two, deciding if I am going to do a full “mainlining” run or just top them. TBD

I thought the ladies would have another 2-3 weeks left in veg, but started to notice pistils forming within the last couple of days. So flower will most likely start to begin within the next week, I’m guessing I may see a couple oz per plant come harvest day. Not bad for first time grow & using autos, from what I’ve heard a lot of people do not recommend learning with autos due to how quickly their state can change depending on what you do with them. There are some things I wish now I would have done a bit different within the last couple of weeks, I can’t help but wonder how much bigger they’d be if I did not do any defoliation at all. But I have been combating flies bad and made the call to defoliate mainly for that reason. Started to cut back on veg foods and introduce flower foods and sugars to their diet. Humidity levels still at a steady decrease, aiming to have humidity down in the 30s come flower time. Will be going on vacation for a week soon, so fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Will be having a good friend of mine come by every couple of days to FaceTime me and make sure everything is handled as well as possible when the time comes.

Well life came up and i didnt have time to transplant last weekened. probably for the better, as i noticed deficiencys starting to come through on nearly every plant! Not detrimental but few leaves turning color mainly tward bottom. Pretty much same thing dark pruple leaves that crunch and die off. Started treating them with spray and they seemed to love it
