💚

Still not given any food. It will be a few weeks until she needs food as I've just put her into a 4 ltr pot 👍

Auto Lemon is rocking right along. Bud sites getting bigger and fatter. I purchased some Fox Farms Organic Big Bloom and added it with the Recharge in this weeks feeding. Looking forward to the results. 👍

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno B Week 9 | Just Let Me Grow Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Some plants ask for attention. Some plants demand it. And then there are plants that simply look at you and say: “I'm good. Just let me grow.” 😂 Godfather OG Pheno B is definitely one of those girls. This week, she's happy. She's growing. She's adapting. She's building flowers. She's beautifully green. And she's asking for absolutely nothing. So what am I doing? Exactly what she wants. I'm letting her grow. 🌱 🌿 The Happy Girl in the Room There is something incredibly satisfying about walking into a room full of more than twenty plants and finding one that simply looks completely comfortable in her surroundings. Godfather OG Pheno B is giving me exactly that feeling. She's not complaining. She's not demanding anything. She's not asking for a special intervention. She's just continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning: growing beautifully. And honestly, I love it. At around 160 cm, she's among the taller plants in the room. But I want to make something clear. This run isn't about producing gigantic plants. We haven't been chasing enormous heights. And that's something I'm actually very happy about. The plants are growing into what I would consider a beautiful, manageable size, while still creating strong structures and plenty of flowering sites. For me, that's a win. 👑 A Different Queen From Her Sister And once again, her relationship with Godfather OG Pheno A makes the phenotype hunt even more interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same reservoir. Same general treatment. Yet two very different personalities. Her sister has been one of the demanding girls in the room. Pheno B? She's basically: “Don't touch me. I've got this.” 😂 And I respect that. That's exactly why I don't want to force every plant into the same behaviour. The whole point of this experiment is to give the genetics the opportunity to express themselves. And Godfather OG Pheno B is expressing herself beautifully. 🍃 That Lush Green One of the first things I notice about her is the colour. She's lush. That beautiful, healthy green is still running throughout the plant, and it gives her a very strong visual presence. The foliage looks happy. The structure looks balanced. The plant is carrying herself confidently. And when I compare her to some of the more demanding phenotypes in the room, the contrast is fascinating. She's not screaming for anything. She's simply using what we're providing and turning it into growth. That's the kind of response every grower loves to see. 🌸 The Buds Are Coming From Everywhere And this week, the flowers are really beginning to take over the story. The bud development is becoming much more obvious, and the structure is starting to show exactly where this plant is heading. What I particularly love is the consistency of the flower formation from bottom to top. We're not just seeing beautiful development at the highest points. We're seeing flowering sites developing throughout the plant. And this is where the lighting strategy becomes especially interesting. The combination of the overhead lighting with the inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting is doing an outstanding job. Light is reaching much deeper into the structure. And we're getting flower development throughout that vertical space. That makes me very curious about how these lower flowers will continue to develop as we move deeper into flowering. 💡 Above, Inside & Below This is something I've been particularly happy with during this run. The Future of Grow LED Black Series provides the main overhead light. But we're not asking the top light to do absolutely everything. The inner-canopy lighting and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting are helping bring photons into areas that traditionally receive much less direct light. And when you look at Godfather OG Pheno B... you can see why that matters. She's tall. She's open. She's got flowering sites distributed throughout her structure. And now we're seeing that flower development progressing from the upper canopy down toward the lower areas. That's exactly the kind of structure I wanted to see. Not one giant flower-covered ceiling with forgotten branches underneath. Instead: light → leaves → flowers from top to bottom. And so far, it's looking beautiful. 🌱 No Need to Interfere This week there was no reason for me to make major changes. No dramatic training. No unnecessary defoliation. No attempt to reshape her. No trying to make her behave differently. She's already giving us exactly what we want. So I'm following one of my favourite cultivation rules: If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Sometimes growers feel like they need to be doing something constantly. But plants don't need our hands on them every day. Sometimes the best thing you can do is observe. Look. Listen. And leave the plant alone. Godfather OG Pheno B is making that lesson very easy this week. Twelve Genetics. One Ecosystem. This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running twelve different genetics and more than twenty plants in the same overall ecosystem. They all have access to the same environmental conditions. They share the same feeding strategy. They share the same lighting philosophy. And yet every plant finds its own way. Some demand more. Some demand less. Some stay darker. Some become lighter. Some stretch aggressively. Some stay compact. Some become extremely aromatic. And some... just quietly get on with the job. Godfather OG Pheno B belongs to that last group. She's adapting. She's comfortable. And she's building. 🍽️ Feeding The room continues with the shared flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The important part isn't simply the recipe. It's the response. And her response has been very clear: She's happy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining that beautiful green. She's not asking us to change anything. So we're not going to create changes just to feel like we're doing something. Consistency remains the strategy. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Again, the environment stays consistent. And Pheno B is showing us that she likes it. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming a photographer's pleasure. The full-plant photographs show that elegant vertical structure. The closer shots reveal the flowers developing throughout the plant. And the foliage... That green. That beautiful, healthy green. It's one of those plants where the longer you look, the more you notice. First you see the overall structure. Then the flowering sites. Then the individual flowers. Then the pistils. Then the early resin development. And suddenly you're standing there staring at one little flower for five minutes. 😂 That's the danger of growing. You start with: "I'll just check the plants." And twenty minutes later you're photographing a single flower from seventeen different angles. We've all been there. 😂📸 🌸 The Structure Is Speaking One thing I really like about this phenotype is the overall structure. She's tall without feeling awkward. She's open without looking sparse. She's producing flowering sites throughout the plant. And she's maintaining enough foliage to support that development. This is one of those plants where I don't feel the need to impose my own vision on her. Her structure already makes sense. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it well. That's what I mean when I say that the plants are telling us their own stories. We just have to be patient enough to listen. 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this stage, my curiosity is shifting. The question isn't really: "Will she flower?" We already know the answer. She is. The question now becomes: How much will these flowers build? How much density will they develop? How much resin will accumulate? How will those lower flowering sites respond as we move deeper into the cycle? And what will this beautiful green plant look like when the flowering structure really starts to mature? Those are the questions I'm interested in now. And fortunately... I don't need to do anything to answer them. I just need to wait. 👑 Let Her Shine There's something particularly satisfying about this phenotype. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the loudest. She's not asking for special treatment. She's simply doing her job. Growing. Adapting. Flowering. And looking beautiful while doing it. She's around 160 cm, making her one of the taller ladies in the room, but that's exactly what I like about this run. We haven't created a jungle of enormous plants. We've created plants with beautiful proportions and beautiful structures. And Godfather OG Pheno B fits into that picture perfectly. 💚 The Beauty of Doing Nothing Sometimes cultivation is about knowing when to act. And sometimes... it's about knowing when not to. This week, Godfather OG Pheno B doesn't need intervention. She doesn't need correcting. She doesn't need reshaping. She doesn't need me trying to improve what is already working. She needs time. And I'm more than happy to give it to her. Because every week, she's showing a little more of what she's capable of. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more resin. A little more personality. And now we're reaching the point where those little changes are starting to become very obvious. 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week, I expect the flowers to continue building and becoming more defined. The stretch should gradually become less important as the plant shifts more of her energy toward flower development. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner-canopy flowers. With the combination of the overhead, inner-canopy and under-canopy lighting, we're giving those areas a much better opportunity to develop. And so far... they're responding beautifully. So the plan? Keep the environment stable. Keep the reservoir consistent. Keep observing. Keep photographing. And most importantly... don't get in her way. 😂🌱 👑 Godfather OG Pheno B — Week 9 So here we are. Another week. Another chapter. Another little piece of the phenotype story revealed. She's around 160 cm. She's among the taller plants in the room. She's lush. She's green. She's healthy-looking. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her structure is exactly the kind of structure I enjoy seeing. And she's asking for nothing. She's simply growing. And perhaps that's the most beautiful thing about her right now. She's comfortable enough in her environment that she doesn't need us constantly trying to intervene. She's found her rhythm. And now we're watching that rhythm turn into flowers. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project keeps reminding me why growing multiple phenotypes together is so fascinating. We can give them the same room. The same light. The same irrigation. The same nutrition. The same environmental conditions. And they still find completely different ways to express themselves. Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us the peaceful version of that story. Her sister is asking questions. This girl is answering them with flowers. 😂👑🌸 Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the space where we can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring light into the lower canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain environmental stability. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to watch these plants develop. It means a lot. This isn't just about reaching the finish line. It's about seeing what happens along the way. And Godfather OG Pheno B is giving us one of the most enjoyable stories in the room right now. She's happy. She's adapting. She's beautiful. She's building flowers from top to bottom. She's getting more interesting every week. And she has only one thing to say: “Don't worry about me. I've got this.” 😂🌱👑 And you know what? I believe her. Growers Love, my friends, and I'll see you next week! 💚👑🌱

1/12 start of week 2 she’s getting bigger every time I open the tent 😂 didn’t need to water today we’ll check again later. 2/12 didn’t do much just a light water 3/12 Doomday 😂 my temperature and humidity monitor came and I realised my poor plant was in the desert and thanks to the community I also realised I’m growing in a massive fire hazard I purchased a new light and temperature has dropped thank god and thanks to everyone who answered my question. We’ll see how we get on with this CFL light 3/12 I also fed her this morning 1l of water with 2.5ml of Canna vega 4/12 nothing to be done 5/12 same as day before I think she’s looking good tho

The #1 Pheno was growing pretty clumped up, so i Trained it a little bit. I did take some clones from all of them and i will switch them to flower at the end of the week. So far so good. Hoping for the Best.

Added a scrog net to help fill out the tent and it's doing its job. A lot of bud sites and really starting to take off. these seem to want to drink more than any other run I have had. I have been giving them 1 quart of water daily and they are loving it.

Ich giesse jeden tag aber abwechselnd mit und ohne Dünger dass spart zeit Day 1=1L Wasser PH= 6.2 150ppm (0) Day 2=1L mit Dünger PH=6,4 1400ppm

Both phenos coming out nicely, super tight this will be absolutely rocket fuel, super sweet smell. Reduced RH to 55% and running 1050 ppms starting to rundown from 1250.

27.11. She’s really starting to take off — looks like she’s about to flip into flower soon (at least from my noob POV). I can already see some pistils popping. I did stress her a bit though — didn’t water in time and she got a little droopy the next day. Gave her a good drink right after and she bounced back nicely. We’ll see how she goes.

Been flushed for 14 Days. PPM at 100.

Same nutes, I'm keeding usually but 1/3 than usage even less.. sweet smell start raising stronger.

Vegetative week 4 --> I finally cleared the fungus gnats infestation😁. There are no more gnats flying around or on the soil surface. Unfortunately, the plants have not yet recovered from the stress. The plant in the fiber pot looks like the one that is recovering faster than the one in the plastic pot that seems to have stalled. I hope they recover fast beacuse the branches still small and the ladies start to flowering. I waterd the plants only one time this week with 2Lt of 6.5 pH water for plant. Temperature grow box---> 22-26 °C Umidity grow box ---> 45 - 55 % Total water of the week ---> 2 Lt/plant

At the end of last week, finally flower indicators started to show and these week it went more. Day 32: I sprayed them with Rhizotonic this week. This will be the last week for sprays. I don't like to spray my plants while having buds on it even thought it is organic. Always make sure you spray from below the leafs. They will uptake it better and also spray some above. With the lights off. Did some defoliation again and removed some lower internodes which will be crappy buds anyways. Made a video of my feeding bucket as well, in case some of you wonder how I feed all those plants manually. It is a pump with an gardenhose attached. Thats it for this week, Until next week!

Day 78- Still haven't got around to staking. Since both plants were watered last night, no more water till harvest on Day 82. Yellow Markers final weight after a week curing is 14.6 grams. I still have some medicine left so this will have atleast another week and half to cure some more. Day 79- I decided against the bamboo stakes. But will have them for future grows. I think I'm just going to ride it out till day 82. Hopefully a buddy comes through to help with trimming or my weekend will be very busy 😂 Day 80- No major adjustments just rotating plants. Day 81- No major adjustments just rotating plants. Tomorrow is Harvest Day! Day 82- Harvest Day! I got started late in the evening and wasn't done till the morning of day 83. I'm beginning to think I should have waited on harvesting Yellow Marker but you live and you learn! These plants smell so damn good. The Runt I may end up getting an eighth to a quarter from. She only had 5 branches which were still pretty shitty but had surprisingly tightened up bud formations. But that's on me, not genetics. But the Blue Marker...her genetics were really on point. I'll atleast get an ounce...maybe two out of her. Both plants have a strong lemony-citrus/piney smell to them. Can't wait to try it out! While trimming I accidentally cut off a few pieces. Instead of tossing it in the trim bin (which is where most of the runt went lol) I left them infront of a fan to quick dry them so I could try them out. I will also be drying these probably 2 days longer before placing them in their jars. The other ones I had to take out multiple times to get the moisture correct. I will be back to post more journals (auto amnesia haze is next) and also post a taste test/harvest results as soon as I'm done drying. Overall for a first timer, I'm impressed on what I've learned and what I've accomplished. Kudos for the insight @NeedsMoreFans As to not waste, the doggo is very happy with her fan leaves as treats. The sugar leaves and trim I will be making into a Green Dragon tincture with 190 proof Everclear. My goal is to be able to take one ml (an average eyedropper) and mix it in with something so I can dose during the day and have it on me, and to not have to worry about taking time to roll a joint or to carry anything on me. Or well...smell like I smoked. Will definitely let you guys know!

This is my first grow I have haze berry critical and northern lights and white widow automatic the baby’s are critical mush and the 2 seedlings are white widow all from RQS can people give me some useful tips and vote for me

Everything good, moving along well into 2 weeks of flower..

Hey growmies Darck Devil is looking really good i started giving her her nuts and I topped her today! Hope you all enjoy mi diarie and if you do hit that like button or leave a comment below thanks very much 😁
