Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B Week 6 | Nature Keeps Her Own Calendar Growing multiple phenotypes from the same seed pack is one of the greatest reminders that every plant writes her own story. Even when everything is identical—the same room, the same lighting schedule, the same nutrients, the same environment—each phenotype responds according to its own genetic blueprint. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues to prove that point beautifully. While her sister has already settled comfortably into flowering, this lady is still taking her time. She's showing the earliest signs that bloom is approaching, but she hasn't fully committed just yet. And that's perfectly okay. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is stop trying to rush nature and simply pay attention to what the plant is saying. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If you're joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire 8×8 Adventure is being grown using the 12/12 from seed method. From the moment these seeds germinated, they've received twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness every single day. Unlike a traditional photoperiod grow, where the grower decides exactly when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, this approach allows each plant to determine its own timing. That's why these two Blueberry Muffin sisters look so different despite growing side by side. Pheno A embraced flowering weeks ago. Pheno B is still finishing the work she wants to do before making that transition. She's reminding us that genetics don't own a calendar. They simply follow their own rhythm. 🌿 A Compact Bush With Big Potential One thing that immediately stands out this week is just how compact this phenotype has become. She's noticeably shorter than her sister, yet every internode is packed tightly together, producing a dense, healthy canopy filled with future flowering sites. The gentle Low Stress Training continues to work exactly as intended. Rather than forcing dramatic changes, it has gradually opened the plant while encouraging side branches to grow upward and compete for the canopy. Leaf tucking has remained part of the daily routine, helping expose developing shoots without removing unnecessary foliage. With such tight growth, every little adjustment makes a noticeable difference. The result is a beautifully balanced little bush that feels full of potential. 💧 Individual Care for an Individual Plant One advantage of growing each phenotype as its own diary is being able to treat every plant according to its own needs. Unlike several of the other girls in this room, Pheno B is still being hand-watered. She continues receiving her own feeding schedule, allowing me to make adjustments specifically for this phenotype while observing how she develops before eventually joining the rest of the flowering program. Not every plant wants the same meal at the same time. Listening to that difference is part of becoming a better grower. 🍽️ Feeding While many of the flowering plants have already moved to a bloom-focused nutrition schedule, Pheno B continues following a transitional feeding program that supports both vegetative growth and the approaching flowering stretch. This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The nutrient solution remained stable with an EC of approximately 1.78 mS/cm and a pH adjusted to 6.02, providing everything she needs while allowing her to continue developing at her own pace. For now, there's no reason to rush any changes. Healthy plants tell you when they're ready. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very consistent throughout the week. Daytime temperatures averaged around 29°C, with nighttime temperatures close to 25°C. Relative humidity settled around 60%, while atmospheric CO₂ measured approximately 693 ppm. These stable conditions continue providing an ideal environment for steady growth, allowing Pheno B to focus her energy on building structure before fully committing to flower. Consistency is often one of the most overlooked nutrients in any grow room. 📸 This Week Behind the Lens This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this phenotype. The side profiles reveal an incredibly stocky plant with thick stems and remarkably tight internodal spacing, while the close-up images begin showing the earliest hints of floral development hiding between vibrant green leaves. She's not stretching dramatically. Instead, she's quietly building a strong, compact framework that could eventually support some beautifully dense flowers. Sometimes the plants that make us wait the longest surprise us the most at harvest. 🔍 Looking Ahead I have a feeling this could be Pheno B's final week of vegetative growth. The first signs are there. She's beginning to hint that flowering is finally approaching, even if she's still taking things more slowly than the rest of the room. Over the coming week I'll continue with gentle leaf tucking, maintain the current feeding program, and simply let her dictate the pace. If she officially enters flower, the diary will naturally follow her into that next chapter. If she chooses to wait another few days... That's perfectly fine too. After all, one of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that plants don't grow according to our expectations. They grow according to their genetics. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me. Whether you're here to learn something new, compare growing techniques, ask questions, or simply enjoy watching these different phenotypes develop, I truly appreciate having you along for the ride. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document every success, challenge, and lesson. ? Zamnesia for these fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics, which continue to showcase just how diverse two sister plants can become. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow, allowing each phenotype to receive exactly what it needs. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light that powers this entire project from seed to harvest. And finally... Thank you for taking the time to follow this adventure. Every comment, every question, every shared experience, and every bit of encouragement helps make these diaries something far greater than a simple grow log. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week... where we'll discover whether Pheno B finally decides it's time to join her sister in full flower—or reminds us once again that nature always keeps her own calendar. 🌱💚

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something. 8/19 In the 40's last night. Hopefully that will help with the thrips. I was hurried and since today tops at 72° I only watered the 10th planet big mk ultra and the chem dog with preventative plant doctor. I'm not seeing hardly any septoria and if I do itsca random leaf. I mixed up 3tsp of citric acid and some Dawn in a 2 quart hand sprayer and treated the 10th planet that I thought had heat stress and the Pink kush in the ten gal that has the damage. I also treated a branch on my good tenth planet. It was the only branch with markings so I think I've got it early enough. I'm just wondering the best way to tackle this. The pink kush I'm sure, could handle spinosad. That strain is much later flowering. I'll see how the citriccacid works and go from there. If the other girls need water they'll get it when I get home alongcwith plant doctor. I've got some work to do. I'll keep this updated. Opinions are always welcome. UPDATE: THE PLANT IN THE TEN I SPRAYED LOOKS BETTER THAN WHEN I SPRAYED IT! I ALSO DIDNT WATER AS ITS UNDER 70° AND EVERYTHING I WATERED LOOKS WORSE THAN WHAT I DIDNT. WATERING NEEDS CHANGE QUICK WITH A 40° TEMP SWING. THESE THRIPS ARE GONNA HAVE A FEW MORE NOGHTS IN THE 40'S. THE CITRIC ACID SEENED TO KILL ON CONTACT. MY PROFESSIONAL BUDDY ADVISED TO ORDER GREEN LACEWINGS AS OPPOSED TO USING SPRAYS. HE SUGGESTED SPOT TREATMENT BUT AFTER MY RESEARCH ON THRIPS THAT WONT HE AS EFFECTIVE. I HAVENT DECIDED WHAT TO DO. I MAY ORDER THE LACEWINGS AND I MAY CONTINUE AND ROTATE TREATMENT. I DONT WANT TO OVERREACT (WHICHVI TEND TO DO) BUT I ALSO DONT WANT ALL MY LEAVES TO DIE. ILL KEEP THIS UPDATED. IM PLANNING TO GO OVER TONIGHT AND CHECK THINGS OUT. I MAY SPRAY A FEW MORE PLANTS AND WATER WHILE IM THERE. ITS TIME FOR THERE PLANT DOCTOR PREVENTATIVE. 8/20 I watered the two kush in the back WITH THE PREVENTATIVE DOSE OF PLANT DOCTOR as they were dry I assume due to the wind they get. The one in the 50 I found one sep leaf. Looking carefully arpund the garden I can tell that I have a thrip infestation. First time I've fought this and it seems most people don't really know what to do besides predators at the beginning of the season. I'm too far along for spinosad. At least thats what I've been told. My pro buddy said to try to spot treat it. It's not bad bit I'm afraid it might be worse than I think. The plants I treated with citric acid look MUCH better. I think I'll dial the dosage of citric acid down and start with that tonight and switch up treatments. I can get rid of them it's just going to take a ton of work. I think I've had them before and I attributed to something else. I so think that the very early pink kush plants could handle spinosad. I hope so. The plants I watered the other day look overwatered. The plants I didn't water look GREAT. The special kush in late flower looks happier than I've ever seen her. The difference being we went from 104° one day to 72 the next with 46° night Temps. This week is highs of 70's lows of high 40°'s. I've got a lot of work cut out for me. Didn't do a video as I didn't have time but I'll do one

Trainwreck also doing great, plant is healthy in the same living soil setup like the others, only water no fertilizer. I did the same type of defoliation, removing fan leaves and leaves that grow to the center of the plant to get more light penetration. I also removed small lower branches and leaves to create a better airflow at the bottom of the plant.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/30- Nine weeks from breaking ground, this lady started off slow but is now making up for lost time! 6/1- Today I top dressed the GG4 Sherbet FF with 2 cups of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 1 cup of Down to Earth Bio Fish along with 1/2 gallon of worm castings. After top dressing and working the amendments into the soil by hand, I watered it in via garden hose with straight well water. 6/3- Rained hard today so I skipped watering the GG4 Sherbet FF. 6/5- Today was sunny and warm. I watered the GG4 Sherbet FF with straight well water from the garden hose. Another week on the books for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she continues to impress me with her resilience and vigor! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. New videos of the girls this morning. Nr1 and 3 looks great and nr 2 is looking a little funny, maby a little stressed. Kl. 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Added video. Kl.. 23.00. New videos, defoliation and leaftucking. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nov.5 -we placed these girls in a paper towel and paper towel in ziplock Nov.6 - Once girls seeds showed tap root we placed the tap root down into the rockwool Nov.9 - Started DWC, put a small layer of pellets at the bottom then placed in rockwool then covered rockwool with pellets Nov.10 - Took a light away and put it in our small tent, these guys only have the one light now

While we're not huge on autoflower plants, this one turned out really nice, not a huge yield, maybe just over an Oz dry but her bag appeal can't be beat.. we may actually grow this strain again but probably outdoors, our autos always seem to preform better in the garden. Thanks for reading and happy growing everyone

this plant liked lst and exhibited a robust growth pattern. In structure, appearance, yield, smell, flavor, potency, and overall versatility, it performs well in all categories. I feel that the larger the substrate volume, the larger this variety will have the potential to grow and prosper

Sour wiz came out amazing. Not many problems during her grow. Each pheno came out really different but that’s from my doing. I trained each plant differently to see what the difference would be. Responds really well to stress and training. I can’t tell you in words how great the flowers are. They’re literally coated in trichomes and smell and taste so damn good. Fruity sweet gasoline. Enjoy and thanks everyone who looks and follows.0

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Had my 4 year cancer checkup and the doctor couldn't find anything wrong. Stuck a camera in my nose and down my throat and said "Looks Good". Get my last checkup in a year, then I can say, I'm cancer free. Thanks Rick Simpson... Stopped in the grow store coming home and bought some locally made seeds. Made right here on Vancouver Island. Here's his web page... www.snowshoejoe.com Looks interesting. Got the... Red Runtz x (Ice Cream Cake x Kush Mints #11) Got 21 seeds when the package said 12. Wow.. I love getting extra... There was no other name on the package. Don't know quite what to call it? I'll try it in a year or so. Got stuff to try before then. Everybody is doing good and getting very smelly in here. Sorta a creamy orange smell now. Just 3 weeks to go and we're getting yellow leaves in here as the plants pull what they need from the fanleaves before turning them brown OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Day 70 from seed Checked inside of some buds near the stem. Super compact and plump. No mold visible. Looked @ some trichomes. Some how the right one catched up, they both on track with like 10% ambers. Lower part of the plant is slightly behind, im waiting to chop so that part can develop a little more. Not gonna do a 48 hours darkness, the buds are way to dense to handle that humidity. 2 or 3 more days to chop suey! Also the blueberry autos are coming along well. When the Lemon Cherry Cookies are chopped i will start the blueberry diary. This time in autopot system with airdomes, coco + perlite (70/30) with living soil mix from Bionova. Got some new dry salts (powdered nutes) for these ladies that i want to try out in the late phase. Its gonna be fun!

Week 8 From Seed — Week 3 Flower (Report labeled Week 9, corrected here for clarity) Before we dive in, quick recap so new eyes understand what’s happening here. ⸻ 🔁 How We Got Here These are limited genetics — only 750 packs released. We are running pack 268, grateful to have secured them. All plants come from the same line, but we intentionally allowed structural differences through training variations. All training has been low stress, but: • One plant guided more assertively with clamps. • Others shaped gently. • One allowed more natural vertical dominance. Same genetics. Different structural expressions. Same flower development pace. That’s important context. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions 📊 Current Conditions • Canopy temp: 27.9°C • Humidity: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm (lights on) • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s (size dependent) The room is full now. Dense canopy. But healthy density — not chaotic. ⸻ 🌱 Substrate • Soil EC: 0.91 • Medium temp: ~22.5°C • Moisture sensor reading: ~94% (but dry-down cycles actively implemented) Dry-outs are working. You can see the EC stabilization in the chart — no runaway accumulation. The graph shows controlled feeding and dry-back rhythm. That rhythm is key. They’re drinking well. No signs of stagnation. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy Main Light High intensity, climbing as canopy grows. 🌞 UVA / UVB — 6 Hours Mid-Cycle Purpose: • Mild stress stimulus. • Activation of plant defense mechanisms. • Potential terpene upregulation. • Resin density encouragement. Important: UV is not a magic switch. It is a controlled stress input. We are applying it during peak metabolic activity — that’s strategic. Monitor for: • Leaf tacoing • Excessive stress response • Overly rapid senescence So far? They look stable. ⸻ 🔴 15 Minutes End-of-Day Red Extension We’re adding 15 minutes of red-only at lights-off transition. Theory: • Increased phytochrome conversion (Pfr → Pr) • Faster “sleep signal” • More defined photoperiod closure In practical terms: We’re tightening the circadian signal. Will it radically change yield? Probably not. Will it refine plant rhythm? Possibly yes. And importantly — it’s controlled, not excessive. ⸻ 🔦 Undercanopy Lighting This is significant in the setup. Benefits: • Lower bud site development • Reduced larf • Improved airflow • More uniform photosynthetic distribution In a dense canopy like yours, this matters. The under-shots shows you good structural spacing — not suffocated. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Structure & Development All plants are: • Strongly branching • Aggressively stacking • Frost levels increasing rapidly The trained plant: • Slightly smaller • More guided architecture • Same flower vigor Defoliation response: They bounced back as if nothing happened. That’s a sign of: • Strong root system • Adequate nutrition • Stable VPD • No lingering stress You can see it in posture. Leaves are praying. Internodes are active. No droop. ⸻ ❄️ Frost Report Resin production is accelerating. Macro evidence confirms: • Early density increase • Even coverage • No patchiness This stage (Week 3 Flower) is foundation frost. Real explosion comes mid-flower. But the signal is there. ⸻ 🌡️ Driver Temperatures & Heat Consideration Measured: • 35.5°C • 32.6°C • 28.6°C Driver heat does contribute to tent ambient load. However: Our canopy temp (27.9°C) suggests ventilation is compensating properly. Watch: • Upper canopy hotspots • Uneven temperature zones So far, no visible heat stress response. ⸻ 🌿 Room Visual Impression The room is full. Not messy full. Intentional full. Canopy is closing. Bud sites are forming evenly. Structure is defined. It looks alive. ⸻ 🌱 Nectar Drip They are on fire. • Stacking. • Frosting. • Branching aggressively. The trained one expresses structure differently, but flower quality trajectory is matching. They are going to be large plants. You can see it in internode strength and stem diameter.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode! Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully. First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with. Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies. How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant. How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition. Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds. The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day. As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny. Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Genetics -Seeds Mafia Big Cheese Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO
