Day 29. Going into pre flower. Expecting a big stretch like my last run with Twisted Trees. Alien Moonrocks by them is the best weed I've ever grown.

Start of week 7 flower (day 42) 9/13/25 Watered: 9/14/25 Fed with nutr9/17/25

Fatty tops formimg each day , week 5 of flower

Things have been going well as I continued to train the stretching girls to the side of the pots, bending and adding ties where needed. Pheno 1 started showing signs of over watering showing droopy leaves as well as what I think is either nitrogen, magnesium or iron deficiency. I'm leaning towards a iron deficiency since the yellowing is on the newest growth at the top. I think this was caused from giving her too much top amendments in her last feed causing a pH imbalance. What I would usually do is just give her a little flush if this is the case but instead I decided to repot her and the other Pheno into their last 19 litre/4 gallong pots as both were drinking pretty quick and I wanted to avoid over watering again. The rootballs looked beautiful when I transplanted them so I was pretty happy with their progress! This round I've ditched the coco as I had way too many issues with it in the past, including knats and PH issues. In this round I've gone with Biobizz light soil which I added some fish blood and bone, earthworm castings, bat guano and then watered with water and liquid seaweed. I love organic growing :). I do intend on using Coco again but I'll need to do some research on some trusted brands. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! Pheno 2 is showing signs of recovery but I'd love the input from others about what the deficiency could be? I got my new bubblebags today which is making me want to flip to flower so I can get to harvesting and making some bubble but I'm going to be super patient this round. I want these girls to fill up as much of my 4 x4 tent space as possible. Until next week! ✌️

In the video you can see quite well how much work the defoliation of Mrs. Jealousy has been. I had to graze so many nodes and internodes, really gigantic, these genetics. We'll see how it goes. I can already imagine it. What do you mean?! So, I'm going to call it a day for today. Food is waiting. Take care & bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello dear garden friends, I hope you are doing well and everyone is high in the sky. Finally, the American election campaign has come to an end. I can't hear all this anymore. So let's start right away with new photos from this morning and of course a few suggestions from me. The profile of my beloved Sour Jealousy now resembles that of a closed tulip. It will soon reach its full potential and bloom as if there were no tomorrow. Last night I personalized the conditions a little more precisely and adapted them to the respective growth. Since Lady Jealousy is still withering a bit, I keep the humidity just about at the reasonable limit of tolerability for both fully flowering Sweet Seeds ladies. I think temperature and humidity is a good but necessary compromise here. Different strains require different conditions. Especially when growth is so different. I also find the tribes of the three protagonists interesting... In my opinion, it tells us a lot about the selection of phenotypes in breeding. So my dears, the day takes its toll. Time to sleep. Thank you all for being out there. Like-minded and motivated to share our efforts around the cultivation of these enchanting plants. Thank you for this wonderful gift of being able to grow. Nothing can be taken for granted in this world. Not even happiness and peace. Take care and bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello again…. 👋 This morning the buds of the Dark Devil lady, which was harvested a little too early, came out to dry. I tried a little in the vaporizer. And I would like to take this opportunity to express great praise. The effect and taste are really very pleasant, although it was not quite there yet. And a berry-scented taste - very pleasant. I'm already looking forward to the perfectly matured lady then even more... 🤩 Yes, everything is going great at the moment. I'm really happy and satisfied with all the girls. Tomorrow my Sweed Seeds Jealousy package will be delivered from Spain. Despite the circumstances there with so much suffering due to storm disasters, super punctual. I'm already mega excited about it. Sweed Seed also presents a brand new hybrid strain. It hides or unfolds 55% indica and 45% sativa parts. Can't wait: Jealousy Z XL Auto Sweed Seeds I think this will be my first run of the Homebox! Yes!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that from today on the 8 side radiators are active for 12 hours each during a daily cycle. Predominantly 640 – 780 nm. Dark Devil is definitely really poisonous, wow - awesome turn... I had a 3-month break, that's noticeable... ;-)) A little mental excursion at the end of week 7: "Freedom"... We cause ourselves the most stress, because we have a completely distorted conception of freedom. Freedom does not mean being able to do everything you feel like doing. The assumption of having to do something all the time, is the main reason for stress. Only, when we have internalized, that we don't have to do, what we don't want to do: Only then, we are free.

💙 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌿 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno B ✨ Still Small. Still Delayed. Still Beautiful. And Just A Little Ahead of Her Sister. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And guess what? Guess what? GUESS WHAT? 😂💙 She's still small. 😂 I know. Nobody is shocked. Our little Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still very much... Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Compact. Small. Delayed compared with much of the room. But... beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And here's the interesting part: She's a little bit ahead of her sister. Not by some enormous amount. Not suddenly racing through the room. But enough that I can see it. She's moving. She's developing. She's progressing. And when I look at both Blueberry Muffins together, I can't help but smile. Because despite both of them being compact... despite both of them being smaller plants... despite both of them being delayed compared with many of their neighbours... they are both beautiful. 💙🌸✨ And that's really the story this week. We're not trying to make them bigger. We're not trying to make them faster. We're not trying to make them something they're not. We're simply letting them be Blueberry Muffin. And this girl? She's doing it beautifully. So let's give her the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ──────────────────────── For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept behind this project is simple: Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different personalities. 😂💚 That's the part I love most. The room is the same. The ecosystem is the same. The environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The feeding is the same. And yet every plant seems to have received the instructions... and then immediately decided to ignore half of them. 😂 Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some become monsters. Some remain little. Some move quickly. Some take their sweet time. Some seem to know exactly where they're going. Others appear to be improvising. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely in the: "Yeah, I'll get there eventually." 😂💙 But she's getting there. And that's what matters. ──────────────────────── 💙 STILL SMALL — AND STILL BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── Let's not pretend she's suddenly become a giant. She hasn't. 😂 She's still small. Still compact. Still one of the more petite girls in this room. But honestly? I wouldn't change that. Because the moment I stop comparing her size to the larger plants... I can really appreciate her. Look at the flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the way she's developing. Look at the details. This is a beautiful little plant. And that's the important part. She's not competing in a height competition. She's not trying to occupy every square centimetre. She's simply making the most of the structure she has. And she's doing it very nicely. ──────────────────────── 🌸 A LITTLE AHEAD OF HER SISTER ──────────────────────── Now here's the little difference this week. She's still delayed. But she's a little bit ahead of Pheno A. And I find that fascinating. Because they're both Blueberry Muffin. They're both compact. They're both small. They're both sharing the same room. They're both receiving the same general environment. And yet... their clocks aren't identical. Pheno B is just nudging forward a little faster. Not dramatically. Just enough for me to notice. And this is exactly the kind of difference I love documenting. Because if we only looked at the genetics name... we might assume these plants should behave the same. But they don't. They're individuals. And even within the same genetic line, they can have their own rhythm. Pheno A has her story. Pheno B has hers. And we're going to document both. That's the beauty of the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ? STILL DELAYED — BUT NOT LEFT BEHIND ──────────────────────── When I say she's delayed, I don't mean she's doing badly. That's important. She's simply further behind compared with many of the other plants in the room. And that's perfectly okay. The room doesn't have a single finish line for every plant. The plants don't all have to arrive at the same time. They're not identical machines running on identical timers. They're living organisms expressing their own genetics. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is telling us: "I'm taking my time." 😂💙 Fine. Take your time. As long as you're moving. And she is. She's developing. She's flowering. She's progressing. She's becoming more beautiful. So there's absolutely no reason to rush her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 TWO COMPACT GIRLS — TWO DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is actually becoming one of my favourite comparisons in the room. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A. Blueberry Muffin Pheno B. Both compact. Both small. Both delayed. But not identical. One is a little ahead. The other has her own rhythm. And that's exactly why separate phenotype diaries are so valuable. Because if I put them together into one generic report and simply said: "Blueberry Muffin is small and delayed..." we'd lose so much detail. Instead... we can look at each girl individually. We can follow her development. We can see her structure. We can document her timing. We can appreciate her personality. And then, when the adventure is complete, we can look back and compare the two. That's where the real fun is. 💙🌸 Same genetics. Same room. Different personalities. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS — DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── The lighting environment remains unchanged. We're keeping the same ecosystem across the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the additional Black Series 600W fixtures remaining part of the upgraded setup. After adding the extra fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug, giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's using those photons in her own way. Not by becoming huge. Not by stretching across the room. Not by trying to dominate the canopy. She's simply developing within her compact structure. Same photons. Same artificial sun. Different interpretation. And that sentence basically describes the entire 8×8 Adventure. 💙🌿✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 SAME FEEDING — SAME OPPORTUNITY ──────────────────────── The feeding program also remains unchanged for the room. We're not making plant-specific changes simply because one girl is slower. The current recipe remains: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution readings are approximately: ⚗️ pH — 6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm Same feeding. Same general irrigation. Same environment. Same room. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B gets the same opportunity as everybody else. Then... she decides what to do with it. And she's doing something pretty damn beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE ROOM IS STABLE — AND WE'RE LEAVING IT THAT WAY ──────────────────────── This is another thing I really want to emphasize this week. The room is stable. The plants are developing. The environment is consistent. And honestly? It seems to be working. So we're not changing things just because we can. We're not chasing numbers. We're not trying to force the slower girls to catch up. We're not reinventing the ecosystem every week. The room is alive. The plants are alive. They're progressing. They're enjoying the conditions. So for now... we keep things stable. Sometimes the best adjustment is no adjustment. 😂💚 ──────────────────────── ✂️ NOT MUCH TO DO — AND THAT'S PERFECT ──────────────────────── There's not much we're doing to this girl now. And honestly? That's exactly how I like it at this stage. The structure is established. The flowering sites are there. She's developing. She's healthy-looking. The room is stable. So why interfere? Why start creating work when there isn't a problem to solve? 😂✂️ We're simply watching. Observing. Photographing. Enjoying. And letting her continue. The grower doesn't need to be constantly touching the plant. Sometimes we just need to stand there and admire the work the plant is doing. And this little girl? She's giving us something worth looking at. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T CARE HOW BIG SHE IS ──────────────────────── This is another thing I love about photographing the smaller plants. From across the room... she's small. Very small. But put a camera close to one of her flowers? Different story. 😂📸💙 Suddenly the scale disappears. You don't see a small plant anymore. You see a flower. You see the structure. You see the pistils. You see the texture. You see the details. And that's one of the reasons these individual reports are so enjoyable. The camera allows us to give these smaller plants the attention they deserve. Because size isn't everything. Sometimes the smallest plant has some of the most interesting details. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B definitely deserves her close-up. ──────────────────────── 🔬 GENETICS ARE WRITING THEIR OWN STORIES ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest lesson of this entire adventure. We can control the room. We can control the environment. We can control the lighting. We can keep nutrition consistent. We can maintain the irrigation strategy. But we cannot tell every phenotype exactly how to behave. They decide. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B has decided: "Compact. Slow. Beautiful. And I'll get there when I get there." 😂💙 And honestly? I respect it. Because that's the whole reason we're doing this. We're not trying to make every plant identical. We're trying to discover what they actually are. And this girl is showing us exactly who she is. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTIFUL DESPITE THE DELAY ──────────────────────── This is what I want people looking at these reports to remember. Delayed does not mean ugly. Small does not mean weak. Compact does not mean uninteresting. And slow certainly doesn't mean unsuccessful. Look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's developing. She's expressing herself. She's simply doing it on another timeline. And that's completely fine. Actually... I think that's what makes her more interesting. Because every week she makes us wait a little longer. 😂 And every week she gives us another reason to keep watching. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues under the same stable setup: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same conditions. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B continues proving that she has her own clock. ──────────────────────── 💚 I'M REALLY GLAD WE KEPT WATCHING HER ──────────────────────── There's something satisfying about these slower plants. Because if you're only looking for speed... you might overlook them. You see another plant racing ahead and think: "That's the exciting one." But then you keep watching. Week after week. And the little one keeps developing. Keeps flowering. Keeps becoming prettier. And eventually you realize: "Wait a minute..." 😂💙 This little girl is actually beautiful. That's what happened with both Blueberry Muffins. They're not the biggest. They're not the fastest. But they're both beautiful. And that's enough. ──────────────────────── 🔭 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly... we wait. 😂💙 I don't know exactly how much longer she has. I don't know exactly when she'll decide she's finished. And I'm not going to pretend I do. She's already shown us that her timing is different from many of the other girls. So we'll let her continue. Maybe she'll accelerate. Maybe she'll continue slowly. Maybe she'll surprise us. That's the fun. We're not here to force the ending. We're here to document it. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One phenotype at a time. ──────────────────────── ✨ FINAL THOUGHTS — GIVE THIS LITTLE GIRL HER SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Week 13. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B is still... small. 😂💙 Still compact. Still delayed. Still beautiful. And just a little bit ahead of her sister. And honestly? I love that. Both Blueberry Muffins are showing us something very similar... but they're still individuals. They're both small. They're both compact. They're both taking their time. They're both behind much of the room. And yet... they're both absolutely beautiful. That's the part I don't want to lose. Because it's easy to look at the room and focus on the giants. The huge plants. The massive structures. The girls taking over every available centimetre. But sometimes... you need to look down. 😂💙 And there she is. Our little Blueberry Muffin. Doing her thing. Quietly. Beautifully. At her own speed. And she's still here. Still developing. Still shining. Still giving us another chapter. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the compact structure. Let's appreciate the beautiful flowers. Let's appreciate the fact that she's moving forward. And let's appreciate the individuality. Because that's what this whole adventure is about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same feeding. Same grower. Different personalities everywhere. And we're going to expose every single one of them through their own story. 💙🌸✨ Blueberry Muffin Pheno B... you're small. You're delayed. You're taking your sweet time. But you're beautiful. And that's more than enough. Keep doing your thing, little girl. Keep growing. Keep developing. Keep shining. And whenever you're ready... show us what you've got. We're still watching. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Blueberry Muffin genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these individual phenotypes. 💙🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent following these twelve very different girls. It all becomes part of the story. And Blueberry Muffin Pheno B? She's definitely writing her own. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. And completely in her own way. 💙🌸✨ She's not the biggest. She's not the fastest. She's not the earliest. But she is absolutely one of the most interesting. And now we're going to keep watching both Blueberry Muffins and see where their separate journeys take them. Same room. Same conditions. Same ecosystem. Different personalities. Different stories. And that's exactly why I love this adventure. Keep shining, Blueberry Muffin. Your spotlight is yours. 💙🌸✨ Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💙

Es sind noch ein paar cm dazu gekommen und ich bin mit der Blütenentwicklung recht zufrieden. Der Bereich um die Blüten ist wundervoll bepudert. Das Wetter bleibt wechselhaft bis schlecht! Das Wetter bessert sich, leider habe ich einen massiven Befall von Trauermücken, Nematoden sind bestellt.

Bud sites have all blossomed into flowers. Great shape as she has stretched to her full size. Slight defoilation as I dealt with a tent wide white fly issue.

I got a double scrog setup and I'm gonna let it grow into it. This is my first grow and I'm excited. General Hydroponics nutes (Flora series). Kingbrite QB 288 v3 from alibaba. I'm just gonna let her do her thing until about week 3.

Лимонад продолжает мутировать. Была надежда, что всё успокоится, но каждый следующий узел был кривой и не симметричный, и в результате всё пришло к раздвоению основной колы, теперь у меня их две😱(см. фото). Я на 99% уверен, что не потеряю в качестве урожая, но почти также уверен, что потеряю в количестве😥 Все растишки показали пол(кто же сомневался? 420!), у лимонада начался предцвет. Поднял лампу, раздвинул горшки, примерно так они и будут стоять до конца цикла. Обрезал ручки с мешков, они мне только мешали. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

These girls are looking amazing the sparkly glitter everywhere, they are nearly on week 5 flowering, the smell they are putting out is grape gas OG Kush with some orange peel diesel funk. ⛽️

We zijn in week 8 🤘 Ze heeft het naar haar zin ondanks dat de luchtvochtigheid iets aan de hoge kant is. Ze groeit lekker door en de bloemen worden dikker en dikker. Ben begonnen met het geven van green sensation en een beetje calmag. Laten we kijken hoe ze zich deze week ontwikkeld. Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten dus hou het in de gaten 🧐

2.2 Plants have been moved into the tall RoyalRoom tent. Tent sits inside Ikea PAX wardrobe, I use RuuviTag meters for temperature and humidity monitoring and a couple UPS devices as a backup power for exhaust fan & led light. I have planted Alfalfa and red clover as a cover crop, also trying out Blumat digital soil humidity meters this round. PPDF at canopy level is at 400-450umol/m2/s, there is a possibility to swap out the solo led drivers for one big one if I want more power for flowering. 3.2 I tied down the tallest branches to the fabric pot to even the plant out, also gave the pots a little Raw nutrients B-vitamin foliar spray. 4.2 Worms added to pots and gave both plants 1L of B-Vit water. 7.2 Tied down the plants, also gave the right side plant 2 litres of water today, 1L for the left one.

;))))

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MASTERS AND BEGINNERS FARMERS! MY WORK WITH THIS SUMMER LEMON IS FINISHED. PLANT EASY TO GROW AND ENOUGH RESISTANT MAINLY IN SATIVA. HAPPY AND ABUNDANT HARVESTS FOR EVERYONE

4 of 12 Buds are finish with 20% amber Trichomes. The rest need a little more time. Smell is amazing, Whole Plant is very very sticky! Only the 4 Buds have a weight of 65gr wet..

The moment before chop she is already 70D into flower, pistil still show but the trich looking real good rignt now, 90% cloudy 10% amber Using the clean fruit solution for this week make it even cleaner <3

Zu viel Regen zu wenig Sonne. Aber die Ladys schlagen sich tapfer. Ich hoffe es wird jetz mal wieder trockener. Ein wenig Schimmel gab es. Aber nicht der Rede wert. Für's Wetter können sie nix. Ein paar Blüten die ich zum Probieren herunter genommen habe sind schön dick und klebrig. Jetzt kann ich langsam anfangen die Trichome zu monitoren.

First week of flowering. The plant will stretch, so i adjusted the LED dimmer to 100%. Did a good defoliation too. Doing good, very healthy. Smell very good.
