🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 5 (Early Flower) đŸŒ± A Different Personality, the Same Strong Foundation One of the reasons I enjoy phenotype hunts so much is that even when two plants share exactly the same genetics, environment, and care, they still find their own way to express themselves. Frosted Guava Pheno B is proving exactly that. Growing alongside her sister inside the 8×8 Adventure, under the same 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has chosen a slightly different path. While Pheno A developed into a broader, more evenly spread canopy, this lady has remained a little more compact and slightly shorter, standing at 88 cm, with a beautiful upright structure that feels elegant and incredibly well organized. Different personality. Same healthy foundation. And she’s looking absolutely fantastic. âž» 🌾 Week 5 – A Beautiful Transition into Flower The flowering stretch is beginning to slow, and the plant is now directing more of her energy toward what really matters—building flowers. Despite being the smaller sister, there is nothing small about her health or vigor. She has developed strong branching, excellent stem thickness, and a wonderfully open architecture that allows light to travel throughout the entire plant. Looking at her from the side, every branch seems to have found its own space. Looking from above, the canopy remains balanced, symmetrical, and full of promising flowering sites. She carries herself with confidence. âž» 🌿 Training & Structure Like the rest of this project, the focus has never been on forcing the plant into shape. Instead, careful Low Stress Training, gentle branch positioning, and occasional leaf tucking have allowed her natural structure to reveal itself. This phenotype responded beautifully. Rather than becoming extremely wide, she developed a more vertical framework while still maintaining excellent branch spacing and airflow. Every flowering site now enjoys plenty of light exposure, and the open interior should help support healthy flower development throughout the coming weeks. Sometimes the best training is simply allowing the plant to guide you. âž» ? The Arrival of Flower This week, flowering is no longer something that’s coming. It’s here. Fresh white pistils now decorate nearly every growing tip, transforming what were once simple shoots into the first true bud sites. Those bright white hairs always bring a special feeling. They’re the first real promise of what’s ahead. The tops are beginning to stack, secondary branches are joining the party, and little by little, the architecture of the final harvest is starting to reveal itself. It’s one of the most exciting moments of every grow. âž» 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional across the entire plant. The leaves display a rich, healthy green, with beautiful turgor and excellent posture from top to bottom. The stems continue strengthening, new growth remains vibrant, and the overall appearance is one of complete balance. She may be slightly more compact than her sister, but she radiates exactly the same vitality. Every photo reflects a plant that is comfortable, thriving, and fully focused on flowering. âž» 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, this Frosted Guava isn’t connected to the AutoPot system. She has been hand-watered throughout the entire grow, receiving exactly the same nutrient solution and environmental conditions while allowing a little more hands-on interaction during irrigation. Current feeding: ‱ Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L ‱ Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L ‱ Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ‱ Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ‱ Power Roots — 1 ml/L ‱ Power Buds — 1 ml/L Maintaining: * EC: 1.88 mS/cm * pH: 6.05 Even with different irrigation methods, she’s demonstrating just how consistent the Plagron program can be when paired with careful observation and stable environmental conditions. Different watering style. Same excellent results. âž» đŸŒĄïž Environment This entire project continues benefiting from an incredibly stable growing environment. Current conditions: * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Every phenotype inside the room experiences the same carefully managed climate, allowing their unique genetic differences—not environmental inconsistencies—to tell the story. That consistency is becoming more evident with every passing week. âž» 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch is nearly complete, and now the real excitement begins. Over the coming weeks, I expect these fresh pistils to multiply rapidly as each flowering site begins stacking into properly formed buds. Her slightly more compact stature could become a real advantage later in flower, potentially producing dense, well-supported colas throughout the canopy. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to let the flowers take over. âž» 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is a wonderful reminder that every plant deserves to be appreciated for what it naturally wants to become. She isn’t trying to compete with her sister. She simply expresses the same genetics in her own unique way. A little shorter. A little more compact. Just as healthy. Just as beautiful. Watching both Frosted Guava phenotypes develop side by side under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this entire 8×8 Adventure. It’s these subtle differences that make every grow, every phenotype, and every harvest its own unique story. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the opportunity to explore these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the amazing lighting, TrolMaster for keeping the environment perfectly controlled, and to everyone following, commenting, and supporting this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement makes every weekly update even more enjoyable to create. Until next week
 Growers Love and happy growing! đŸŒ±đŸ’š

What's good growmies! This plant REEKS Even with the air being vented outside trough a carbon filter, the room still has a weak "eau de Stracciatella" I don't have the vocabulary or nose to place the scents like some growers can, all I know is, its f-ing loud and she's only mid flower, I *cannot* wait to smell this baby when she is cured. I'm following Plagron's Feeding Shedule, I posted it a few weeks back, I dropped all organic additives, however, so no Sugar royal, no Pure Zym and sure as f no Power Roots, even though I contacted Plagron and have been told these additives work wonders in Hydro, I just can't, it makes the water black, gunk collects around my roots and pumps, if anyone has any advice or insight as to what I'm doing wrong, please let me know, But my gut is telling me I do not have the money or equipment for Organics, the fact that I'm expected to replace 50 liters of reservoir every 48 hours in and of itself is a massive deterrent. that rant aside, Green Sensation is obviously doing work, however, I noticed my EC rising all the way up to *2.4* this week! which is absolutely no bueno, a couple of fan leaves started showing some burnt tips, Luckily its DWC and a quick adjustment with a few liters of plain Ph'd water immediately stopped that. Why was my EC rising? well the logical answer is Overfeeding! plant is not taking all the food I'm giving her so as the water gets taken up, the nutrients become more concentrated, so to fix that I'm halving my Green sensation dose, DWC kicks ass when it comes to this, there is little guessing, and a lot is measured. and as we all know, what gets measured gets managed. This Diary is on cruise control, I don't think aside from watching those nuggies fatten up, there will be much change in this garden from here on out. I'm starting another Diary soon, Zamnesia send me some Runtz to grow and show the world, which is great because I was planning to grow some legendary Runtz anyway! 😉 got a closet I'll be turning into a Autoflower/Veg tent, get some babies started in there using kratky, then once the time for flower comes, drop em into RDWC Thanks for stopping by this week and observing my baby's development, she's quite a slow finisher, but I'm growing fond of her. Stay safe. Keep growing. ✊

Es ist soweit! Am Freitag habe ich die fĂŒnf Easy Buds nach knapp 11 1/2 Wochen abgeschnitten und geerntet. Leider musste ich feststellen, dass eine Pflanze ziemlich stark befallen war. Ich vermute eine Milbenart oder möglicherweise Fliegeneier. Unterhalb der BlĂ€tter waren etliche dunkelgelbe und dunkelbraune Eier, die man auf den ersten Blick kaum erkennen konnte. Bei genauerem Hinsehen sieht man jedoch, dass sich der Befall auf die ganze Pflanze ausgeweitet hatte. GlĂŒcklicherweise blieben die vier anderen Pflanzen verschont. Aus diesem Grund trockne ich die Pflanzen auch getrennt voneinander. Die befallene Pflanze wollte ich nicht direkt wegwerfen, sondern erstmal trocknen lassen. Im Nachhinein werde ich schauen, wie ich mögliche Schadensbegrenzung betreiben kann. Die vier gesunden Pflanzen werden in einem geschlossenen Zelt in einem Trocknungsbeutel getrocknet. Die befallene Pflanze habe ich in dem Folienzelt aufgehĂ€ngt und mit einer Plane abgedeckt. Nach wenigen Tagen der Trocknung sieht soweit eigentlich alles gut aus. Die Eier scheinen nicht mehr zu schlĂŒpfen, sondern fallen von der BlĂŒte ab oder verschrumpeln zu Kompost. Ich hoffe, dass es dabei bleibt. Der Geruch hat sich nach dem Abschneiden deutlich verĂ€ndert. Schon nach der kurzen Trocknungszeit kann ich einen intensiveren Geruch feststellen, der sich noch nicht so richtig beschreiben lĂ€sst. Die BlĂŒten waren stark mit den sogenannten "Sugar Leaves" verwachsen, weshalb ich sie grob getrimmt habe, um sie zum Trocknen aufzuhĂ€ngen. Nachdem die BlĂŒten vollstĂ€ndig getrocknet sind, werde ich die Buds noch einmal einzeln trimmen und durch meine Trimm-Maschine von Vevor jagen. Der Ernteprozess hat zu zweit circa eine Stunde gedauert. Die Pflanzen waren zum Zeitpunkt der Ernte noch sehr gesund und krĂ€ftig. Die Verwurzelung war trotz des geschlossenen Topfes sehr gut. Die schönste Bud hat definitiv die zentrale Pflanze, Greta, ergeben. Nass hĂ€tte ich den Bud auf mindestens 12 g geschĂ€tzt. Ein Gesamtgewicht des nassen Pflanzenmaterials habe ich nicht ermittelt. Sobald alles trocken und fertig beschnitten ist, werde ich das Tagebuch um den trockenen Betrag ergĂ€nzen. Stand jetzt wĂŒrde ich schĂ€tzen, dass der Ertrag aller Pflanzen bei circa 40-50 g liegt, was mich fĂŒr meinen ersten Grow ziemlich zufrieden stellt, besonders in Anbetracht dieser wirklich sehr simplen Strain. Mehr Infos und Fotos folgen in KĂŒrze, wenn das Curing beginnt. Bis bald! :)

Una de las Rainbow Mints ha salido autofloreciente. Le daré unos días, si no me convence la quitaré. El resto van bien, sanas y hoy empiezan el primer día de floración. He puesto la malla, y a esperar a que empiecen a estirar.

Flowering week 2 the ladies are slowly forming tips and everything is going according to plan. Purple Punch x Lemon Drizzle has slightly burnt tips from the fertilizer. I probably could have started fertilizing even later.

8/8 Rained all night. Still raining today and the forecast says it will continue throughout the day until midnight. It's come down heavy at times but for the most part it's a rain that plants like. Defoliated a couple leaves but nothing really needed it. Without a trellis or my tarps up the grow bags seem to dry out incredibly fast so I need to watch that. It's also "toughened" up the plant wants. I've seen them blowing straight sideways and they were fine. I do need to find that four lined plant bug and spray BT after the rain. Plants lovedcthe nutes. I might feed a little later today or tomorrow. I've got a few things to do but I'll keep this updated. Went over and defoliated ANYTHING that needed it and combed through every plant during a pause in the storm. Then I shook them all off and did a video. This is by far the healthiest crop I've grown! I think they can handle more nutes too so I'm going to up it next feed. Still seeing stptadoc chunks missing and random pillar damage. BT will handle it. It's just so minor I'm not even sure if it should be addressed that way. I've had pretty good luck just looking for them and picking them off. 8/9 Cannabis can grow an inch or two in a day and it definitely has been! The rain has finally stopped. I went and shook all my plants off. I'm going to check and see the last time I fed and try to get a feeding schedule created that won't cause lockout. That's been a problem in the past. I've defoliated a lot of leaves lately but EVERYTHING is looking amazing. Extremely healthy. I DO need to spray BT for the pillars and I need to move that one plant back. I keep forgetting to grab the little wheels I need to make a platform. There are other ways I could do it I guess. I'll keep this updated. No damage from the storm and I went through and defoliated before and after. Forgot to upload shit and now I'm back home with this shitty internet connection. I'm trying to upload this video but we'll see. It's at like 32%. I did a full workout and came back to find this at 77% lol. I need to remember to upload things when I'm not in the middle of the woods. UPDATE: Checked on things and did a video. Need to feed, apply bt and secure individual branches before flowering increases 8/10 LOOKS to be a beautiful day. Growbags are heavy as hell and wet on the bottom. I ALMOST fed today and I still might. The pp in the 10 seems to have leeched a lot of nutes. That and a giant blueberry cheese are the only places I'm seeing a deficiency and I want to keep it simply. I also need to put a trellis up apply BT. also if I'm going to move things around I've got to do it before I put up flowering supports. It's harder to move stuff when it's wet. I'll keep this updated. The girls look fantastic. UPDATE: Went and trellised two of my plants. I was going to feed today but decided to wait until the next time I water. I'm only seeing deficiencies on the phrple punch in the ten and the GIANT blueberry cheese that I watered the most. Bags were heavy as hell this morning but I bet I'll need to water tomorrow. We'll see. Hahaha wow. I'm trying to upload a video but even my tough as fuck plants might have some difficulty in torrential rains like this. Wow. That's all I can say. I'll either go check and shake them off tonight or if it keeps it up I'll wait until morning I guess. What a shit show 8/11 WOW. That's probably the hardest I've ever seen it rain. Got to the grow this morning and found NO damage. It's super sunny amd windy so the bags will probably dry out. I think it's suppised to rain again Sunday. I definitely haven't had to water that's for sure. Nothing was even bent over this morning. The blue cheese I didn't fim or top (I wanted to see gow it grew naturally) pop ka was bent down a little bit but not much considering the pounding it got. You can see on the videos. Since bags were saturated I didn't need to water before I fed. I fed 1.25 pints to every plant. I gave the fifty 2.5 pints and the purple punch in the 10 got closer to a pint. I want to start out slow with nutes as I'm nor seeing many deficiencies. I may fuck around today and put some more trellises up seeing this wind bur when flower comes I can just put my tarp up. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER BECAUSE THE WIND WAS WHIPPING LIKE CRAZY AND TREES WERE DOWN. I SANITIZED ALL MY TRELLISING AND HORIZONTALLY TRELLISED TWO 10TH PLANETS IN FRONT AND VERYICAL TRELLISED THE THIRD. HORIZONTAL TRELLISED THE PURPL WE PUNCH IN THE 10 AND VERTICAL TRELLISED THE BLUE CHEESE IN THE 50 AND THE 10TH PLANET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAGE. GLAD I GOT THIS DONE. NOW I JUST NEED TO SPRAY BT AND I'LL FEEL CAUGHT UP. 8/12 Got my supports up and ready now I've just got to find the time to give the girls an application of BT. I've done a pretty good job with manual removal thus far. Bags are over watered. It's Rained so hard and so often that the bags have stayed drenched. Luckily this ridiculous wind has been drying my grow bags out relatively fast. I'm hoping that will be the case today. They're starting to dry out but it's supposed to rain tonight and I think tomorrow. Bright and sunny right now. These are some resilient plants. They seemed to like the liquid kool bloom. I noticed (barely noticeable but I was looking for it) a SLIGHT color change at the very TIPS of a few leaves on a plant but not enough to consider it burn. I will monitor but I think ive got a pretty good feeding regimen. I plan to use as little as I can get away with. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: WENT TO CHECK ON PLANTS AS I GOT "THAT FEELING". EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING GREAT BUT THEN I WENT AND LIFTED MY DRY 22GALS OF SOIL AND COMPATED IT TO MY 20S AND LIKE I THOUGHT THE WIND HAD DRIED THEM OUT. I CANT BELIEVE HOW QUICK THEY DRY OUT. I GAVE EVERYTHING 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST EXCEPT FOR THE 10 WHICH I GAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN A GALLON. I GAVE THE 50 A LITTLE OVER 2 GALLONS AND I DISNT NOTICE RUNOFF. I HAD MORE WATER MIXED UP IM THINKING I SHOULDVE GIVEN IT ANOTHER GALLON. OH WELL ITS SUPPISED TO RAIN A LITTLE TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW. I HAVEN'T WAYERED IN LIKE A WEEK SO I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE GIVEN THE WHOLE 2 GALLONS. THEY GOT DAMN CLOSE THOUGH. 8/13 Rained like hell last night. Oh course it did. Doesn't really matter though. I had to water. I thibk the last time "I" watered was lime a week ago. My bags were dry. Plants weren't drooping and they might've been ok but I've under-watered twice already to the point they drooped right over dead looking and I wasn't going to do that again. Plants seem to love the nutes I gave. Keeping the tarps off and allowing the wind through and having my bags on pallets has really saved me this year. Everyone else is bitching about the rain and lack of sun but things are going great for me knock on wood. I'm not 'in the ground' though so that probably has something to do with it. I just need to check my plants multiple times a day. These plants are getting massive. The cage is at least 8ft tall and the biggest one is about to the top now. Almost as wide too. 8/14 I forgot to write the entry but I uploaded some pics from this morning. They were wet from the storm but I went back over and took video that's like two and a half minutes plus I took some pictures. I pulled the cage out but I need to undue one of the lathes and pull it forward. I also need to apply BT. Plants seem to be aggressively flowering (some more than others) so it's a real exciting time. I went over this afternoon and everything looked fantastic. I'll try to upload a few pictures but the video will have to wait. Didn't rain today and my bags sry out quick so I'm sure they'll be fine even if it rains. I did notice that the two plants I watered most including the smallest container seem lighter in color. IT might hust be the transition to flower but u think I need to increase feed. On the 10th planet's they are green as can be and have that SLIGHT little almost unnoticeable part you really have to look for on the tips that means it's getting its nutes but it's not burnt. I believe I'm going to have to make feeding schedules for each strain

Day 99. All 3 girls down. Wet trim . Can't wait to try them out. Scissors hash was so sweet ... 1.6 kg for wet plant is not bad too I think. Plant A should be biggest in this grow from all strains ... She has to beat 202 g. of AD. Happy Growing !!!

14/09/2021 Hello everyone, welcome to the third week of life of the so dreamed Dark Phoenix of Green House Seeds Co. I'm very surprised with the development of one of the plants, it grew a lot in the last week getting an excellent performance in my opinion. I would like to know your opinion. Leave comments please. Speaking of cultivation I keep keeping the temperature around 25°C to 26°C I raised the EC value to 1.0 ms.

En la cuarta semana he tenido un problemilla, he acercado demasiado el foco y he estresado a las plantas por lo que no han estirado como deberĂ­an, se ha decolorado la punta por exceso de luz. TambiĂ©n hay retraso en la floracion y puede ser por un de cortes de luz que he tenido mientras cocinaba. 📅 Dia 29:đŸ”čDescanso 📅 Dia 30:đŸ”č Descanso 📅 Dia 31:đŸ”čRiego segĂșn la tabla de nutrientes EC 2800 pH 6.4. He notado que las plantas se han estirado mucho y se han retrasado en la formacion de flores debido a la proximidad de la luz led, una planta perdiĂł pigmentacion y estĂĄ recuperandose al incrementar la distancia con el foco. Creo se recuperaron de este estrĂ©s y la floraciĂłn sigue en marcha. No se si me quedo corto con un led de 65w full espectrum. 📅 Dia 32:đŸ”čPoda de alguna rama bajera y defoliacion. 📅 Dia 33:đŸ”čDescanso. 📅 Dia 34:đŸ”čRiego segĂșn la tabla de nutrientes con el PH a 6.3.

đŸ—“ïž Week 17: 3/23 - 3/29 📆 Week 7 of 12/12 🌄 The plant is starting to go into senescence and presenting some beautiful colors as she begins to fade. 💡 Received new lighting courtesy of Growers Choice. They sent me the ROI-E420 with the Master Controller. First impression is amazing. Looks and feels like very high quality build. The spectrum seems more blue than the 3000k lm301H Kingbrite bars I have been using. The bars are thinner and packed with a lot of diodes, so they do run a little hotter than the KB at full power. I adjusted and now running them at 90%. For now the Kingbrite bars are being used as side lighting dimmed to about 30-35% depending on Grow room temps.
