๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 11 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Dark Little Unicorn Is Picking Up Speed โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... I think we can officially say that Frosted Guava Pheno B has found her rhythm. And now? She's moving. Fast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ She's still the dark green girl. She's still compact compared with some of the giants in this room. She's still beautifully frosty. She's still carrying those gorgeous developing flowers. But something has changed. She's progressing. She's evolving. She's building. And every time I look at her, I see another little step forward. Honestly... I'm really, really liking this genetics. I've heard some great things about Frosted Guava, and I'm starting to understand why. But I'm also trying very hard not to put expectations on her. Because expectations can be dangerous. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We can hear wonderful things about a genetic. We can imagine what it might become. We can start creating a picture in our heads before the plant has even finished telling us her own story. And I don't want to do that. I want to watch THIS girl. This phenotype. This plant. This expression. And let her tell me where she's going. So far? She's telling me something I really like. Let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight. ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ ANOTHER GIRL IN FULL AUTO MODE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ It's becoming almost funny now. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We're surrounded by different cultivars. Autos. Photoperiods. Different genetic lines. Different phenotypes. And we're running them all under the same 12/12-from-seed environment. Yet somehow... they're all starting to look like they're speaking the same language. The photoperiods are behaving like autos. The autos are behaving like photoperiods. And some of them? They're just doing whatever the hell they want. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Pheno B is definitely in that last category. She's an autoflower. She's in a 12/12 room. And she's perfectly happy doing her thing. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's moving at a beautiful pace. At this point, I'm honestly less interested in the label... and much more interested in the expression. Because the plant is telling us what matters. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE DARK GREEN GIRL IS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That deep green remains one of her signatures. It's one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. She's got that rich, dark foliage that gives her so much visual character. And now, with the flowers developing further, that contrast is becoming even more beautiful. Dark green leaves. Bright pistils. Developing flowers. Increasing frost. And a structure that's becoming more and more defined. She's not standing still. She's not waiting. She's moving. And that's what makes this week so satisfying. We're starting to see the plant transition from: "Beautiful flowering plant" to: "Okay... this girl is really building now." ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE EVOLVING BEAUTIFULLY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably my favourite part of this week's update. The flowers. They're evolving beautifully. The structures are becoming more pronounced. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And the overall plant is starting to develop that heavier flowering appearance we've been waiting to see. She's not just creating little flowering points anymore. She's building actual structure. And she's doing it throughout the plant. That makes her particularly interesting to watch because she's still relatively compact... but she doesn't feel small. You look at the flowers... and there is presence. You look at the resin... and there is presence. You look at the structure... and there is presence. She's becoming one of those plants where the physical size doesn't tell the whole story. And I really like that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ FROSTED GUAVA IS LIVING UP TO HER NAME โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The frost continues to be one of the things that immediately catches my eye. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’š The flowers are developing more visual texture. The resin is becoming increasingly apparent. And when you get the camera close... well... there's another world. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The little details start appearing. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower structures. Textures. Tiny areas of resin that you don't really appreciate from across the room. This is where photography becomes dangerous again. You start with one flower. Then another. Then you notice something else. Then you move closer. Then closer again. And suddenly you've been photographing one little section for twenty minutes. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But that's what I love about this stage. The plant is giving us reasons to look closer. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ THE UNICORN PERSONALITY REMAINS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... our little unicorn is still here. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ The unusual floral character we've been watching hasn't disappeared. And because her sister has shown similar behaviour, that makes the comparison even more interesting. Two Frosted Guava phenotypes. Same room. Same overall environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same nutritional strategy. And both showing some similarities... while still being very different plants. That's exactly the kind of thing I love seeing in a phenotype project. Not identical. Not clones of each other. But enough shared characteristics to make you stop and wonder where genetics are influencing the expression. I'm not going to pretend we have all the answers. We don't. We're simply observing. And right now? What we're observing is beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš€ SHE'S MOVING FAST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is the biggest change I feel this week. She's moving. And she's moving quickly. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming more substantial. The plant is evolving. The overall flowering picture is becoming more advanced. And when I compare her with the previous photographs... the difference is there. She's progressing. She's not rushing toward some imaginary finish line. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And apparently... her rhythm has picked up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's exciting. Because we're still not at the end. Not even close. There's still plenty of development ahead. And if she's already moving like this now... I'm very curious about what the next chapters will look like. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I'M REALLY LIKING THIS GENETICS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I'll admit it. I'm really liking Frosted Guava. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š I've heard some great things about this genetics, and watching these two phenotypes develop has definitely made me understand why people get excited about genetics like this. But... I'm still keeping my expectations in check. That's important. Because there's a big difference between: "I've heard great things." and: "This specific plant is going to do exactly what I've heard." Every plant is different. Every environment is different. Every phenotype is different. And that's exactly why I'm documenting this particular girl instead of trying to compare her to somebody else's description. I'm watching her. I'm learning her. I'm photographing her. And I'm letting her tell me what she is. So far... I like the story she's writing. ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT GIRL. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting environment remains the same for everyone. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. After seeing that the initial output was more than we wanted for our target, we brought the fixtures down to approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug giving us approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position. And once again... Frosted Guava Pheno B is receiving the same upgraded lighting environment as everybody else. Same photons. Same room. Same general ecosystem. Different response. That's what I love. We don't need to create a completely different world for every plant. We give them the same opportunity... and then watch what they do with it. This girl is clearly making use of hers. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHT. MORE CAPABILITY. NOT MORE POWER FOR THE SAKE OF IT. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One thing I'm particularly happy about with the lighting upgrade is that we're not simply adding fixtures and then running everything at maximum power. That's not the goal. The additional Future of Grow fixtures give us more capability. More spread. More photons available across the room. More flexibility. And because we're running them around 59% from the plug, we're not asking the fixtures to operate at full output just because they can. That's a big part of why I really appreciate this upgrade. And Frosted Guava is getting to experience that expanded lighting environment right alongside the rest of the girls. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore what they can add to this experiment. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutrition has also been increased slightly across the room. Our current flowering program is: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And again... Frosted Guava isn't receiving some secret special recipe. She's part of the same overall nutritional strategy as the rest of the room. The plants are being given the same general foundation. Then they decide what to do with it. And this girl? She's taking that foundation and building beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 โ€“ CURRENT CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room is currently running around: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 11 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been slightly increased. And the plants continue responding in their own individual ways. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ENVIRONMENT.

The genetics write the performance. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is writing hers beautifully. Some plants in this room are moving faster. Some are moving slower. Some are taller. Some are shorter. Some are more compact. Some are more open. Some are extremely frosty. Some are focused on flower size. And then there are girls like this one... who somehow combine a little bit of everything. Compact. Dark. Frosty. Beautiful. And now... fast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ”ฅ That's a pretty interesting combination. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA LOVES THIS GIRL โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There is something about her structure that makes photography particularly enjoyable. The darker foliage creates a beautiful background for the developing flowers. The flowers themselves are becoming more defined. The frost catches the light. And the little peculiarities give each photograph something to discover. Wide shot? Beautiful plant. Closer shot? Beautiful flowers. Macro? Oh... there's the magic. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ That's the fun of this project. The same plant can look completely different depending on how close you get. And Frosted Guava gives us plenty to explore. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ STACKING, BULKING & BUILDING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ We're starting to see all three. ๐ŸŒธ Stacking. The flower structures are becoming more developed throughout the plant. โš–๏ธ Bulking. The flowers are gaining more presence and weight. ๐ŸŒฟ Building. The overall structure is becoming increasingly defined. And that combination is exactly what I want to see at this stage. She's not finished. She's not supposed to be. But she's moving. And she's moving beautifully. That's enough. Actually... that's more than enough. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ SHE'S NOT WAITING FOR ANYBODY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's something really funny about watching her now. Earlier in the run, I could describe her as: "She's taking her time." Now? Not really. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's decided that she's ready to move. And she's doing it. The plant isn't asking for permission. She's not checking the calendar. She's not asking what her sister is doing. She's just growing. Building. Flowering. Stacking. And getting heavier. That's exactly how I want it. The plant knows what she's doing. Our job is to support the process. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ My questions for this girl are becoming increasingly interesting. ๐ŸŒธ How much more will the flowers build? โ„๏ธ How much further will the frost develop? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will she put on? ๐Ÿฆ„ Will those unusual floral characteristics continue to develop? ๐ŸŒฟ How will her dark green foliage evolve as flowering progresses? And perhaps the biggest one: Where does this particular Frosted Guava phenotype decide to finish? I don't know. I'm not going to guess. I'm not going to put expectations on her. I'm simply going to keep watching. And honestly... that's much more fun. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š DON'T COMPARE HER TO THE PROMISE โ€” WATCH THE PLANT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I've learned over the years. You can read descriptions. You can hear what other growers say. You can hear people rave about a particular genetics. And that's all interesting. But when the seed hits your own environment... the plant gets to tell you the truth. Not somebody else's expectation. Not somebody else's photograph. Not somebody else's phenotype. Yours. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us her own answer. She's beautiful. She's moving quickly. She's stacking. She's developing. She's frosty. She's dark. She's becoming heavy. And she's doing it in this particular room, under this particular environment. That's the story I care about. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE SPOTLIGHT BELONGS TO HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So... Week 11. Frosted Guava Pheno B. The dark green girl. The frosty girl. The little unicorn. The girl who is suddenly moving much faster. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ She's becoming more substantial. Her flowers are becoming more defined. Her structure is becoming more interesting. The resin continues to catch the eye. And the whole plant is simply looking beautiful. I don't need to invent a problem. I don't need to force a dramatic story. There isn't one. She's doing well. Really well. So let's just enjoy it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ LOOKING AHEAD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There is still plenty of road ahead. And that's what makes this so exciting. We're not calling the finish line. We're not predicting the final outcome. We're simply watching the next chapter unfold. More flower development. More stacking. More weight. More resin. More colour. More photographs. And hopefully... more surprises from this little unicorn. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Whatever she decides to do next... I'm ready. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ LET THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Frosted Guava Pheno B has become one of those plants where I genuinely look forward to opening the tent. She's not the biggest girl in the room. She doesn't need to be. She's got character. She's got colour. She's got frost. She's got beautiful flower formation. And now... she's got momentum. She's moving fast. And I'm really enjoying watching it happen. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate what she's building. And let's leave the expectations at the door. Because this girl doesn't need a script. She's already writing her own. ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful example of why the 8ร—8 Adventure has become such a fascinating journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these two fascinating phenotypes to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for powering the room and for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that allowed us to expand the lighting capability of this experiment. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to stop and look at these girls. It genuinely means a lot. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's still doing exactly what she wants. She's dark. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's moving fast. She's evolving beautifully. And she's becoming a plant I'm increasingly curious about. I've heard great things about this genetics. But I'm not going to put those expectations on her. I'm going to let her show me who she is. And so far? I'm really liking what she's saying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„ So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep giving her what she needs. And most importantly... let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. Frosted Guava Pheno B. Week 11. Same room. Same environment. Same upgraded lighting. Same nutritional strategy. Same grower. Different expression. And one beautiful little unicorn continuing to write her own story. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Plants look,smell, and feel amazing. I think they've put on most of their weight now and the buds are starting to get really cloudy! I started the slightly older plant in the front on her flush at the end of this week. I believe the one in the back seems to be a week or 2 behind.

I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they donโ€™t need much water, Iโ€™ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front Iโ€™m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF itโ€™s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?โ€ฆ Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun ๐Ÿ’จ โ˜€๏ธ, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on todayโ€™s red flag warning and dust storm warning. โ€œ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.โ€ Iโ€™m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didnโ€™t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Dear Growmies, With week 13 upon us, the journey with our plant enters an exciting new phase. The dance of the buds stretching around the colas has come to a natural pause, ushering us into the swelling stage. Each day, we're greeted by buds that are increasingly plump, a clear indication that they're on the right track. As they swell, our plant is starting to exude a sophisticated sweet lemon aroma that fills the air and promises a sensory delight. It's a fragrance that speaks to the complexity of her development and the nuanced profile we can anticipate. Notably, some leaves in the lower canopy are beginning to wilt, a process I view as normal age-related defoliation. It's a natural part of the lifecycle, as the plant focuses her energy on the swelling buds. In our efforts to optimize her environment, the GCX 9 lighting is now set to 100% flower spectrum and 75% veg spectrum. I'm carefully pushing the limits to provide maximum light without imposing stress or damage to our plant. This stage requires a delicate balance, pushing for maximum growth while maintaining the health and well-being of the plant. I As we watch the buds swell and smell the sweet lemon fragrance developing, it's a moment to reflect on the journey thus far and the growth we've fostered together. Let's continue this care and attentiveness into the next week, ensuring that our plant not only grows but thrives.

Had to spray some medicine again as there was a few bite marks from spidermites. May not get rid of em but can keep them at a lower number until harvest otherwise I would love to get rid of em but don't know the likelihood of that happening. Currently in the tent at 12/12 light schedule and have the lights running at night so cold of the night doesn't stunt any growth.

@MephistoGenetics, 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. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹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 environment 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 10 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 paper towel 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 Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21. Started to germinate the seed. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-23. Seed germinated and put in small pot in the humidity dome. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-27.

New movie of the girl and a new pic of the grow room from now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

This week has been crucial as to keeping her pinned,,and defoliating in turn,,to get as many tops as I can exposed to the awesome TS 1000 from Mars Hydro,,! Really impressive the lumens this light puts out,,compared to other 1000โ€™s Iโ€™ve used,,,,! Anyhow,,the light has helped me achieve what I wanted to ,,along with dedication,,๐Ÿ’š Yeah,,pinning and training takes time and knowledge which can be a drag for some,,but itโ€™s another one ,of the best things about this plant,,so versatile and great for a hobby,,with awesome rewards for effort,,!

Day 43 - I have started LST as this plant i know won't grow much in height, im gonna use it to teach myself techniques/perfect a technique. I hope ive done a decent job of it. Excited to see what happens over next few days. Day 44 - im very proud of my little plant. It looks so strong after the first day of LST. Definitely surprised with the results. Day 45 - Plant seems to be adjusting just fine to LST i do keep checking it. There is a bit of leaves overcrowding to pne side. I will probably have to move if i can! Day 46 - I'm thinking if i need to do more LST or just leave it now to grow. Day 47 - the plant is really starting to woden out and stretch as well. I need to see when it will flower it looks like it might do soon. Day 48 - The plant looks well. I believe she has started to flower so i really have to get my fan and filter asap. Day 49 - She defo started flowing and i just bent ome stem to allow more space between each other ;But they looks really good. Also entering another competition can't win if you don't partake.

Probably the smoothest week since the start, I think that this pheno is a light feeder compared to Strawberry Lemonade in DWC, still running EC at 0.9 max and theyโ€™re doing fine, will be increasing the EC in a few days time to around 1.2, last thing I want is lockout during the stretch! Roots are pretty darn big, the bottom right plant is growing well again now although she has probably lost a week or two on the rest of the pack, Iโ€™ll try to train plants close to her away so she can get a decent share of light. Flipping them to 12/12 today so the long march to harvest starts now. Dates on the time lapse are unfortunately the dates I uploaded to the app, not necessarily when the pic was taken, but it gives a good enough steer on progress and how long it has taken. Take care all!

Looks like she's gonna be just a single fat dense nugget coming from the soil, she's very sticky doesn't even look like a cbd plant, very nice aroma, it's super sweet, I should have updated the diariy a few weeks ago but I had some things to do and lost the count of the diary, but I'll make sure I keep updating this wonderful strain. Let's see how she keeps developing that unique main cola, I'm sure she's gonna be fat as hell. Peace and love growmies! ๐Ÿ’š ๐ŸŒฑ โœŒ๏ธ

Weโ€™ve officially rolled into Week 7, and it has been a glorious one! We were blessed with non-stop sunshine and temperatures hitting a balmy 30ยฐC. I didn't touch the LST at all this week. The training did its job perfectlyโ€”the plant has a great, wide structure, the tops are leveled out, and the heavy stretch phase seems to be wrapping up. To keep up with her heavy flowering needs, her diet now consists of tap water mixed with CalMag, Bio Bloom, Top-Max, and a little touch of Fish-Mix. Appearance & Color: This girl has put on quite a growth spurt over the last few weeks! She actually shot up enough to slightly overtake the Black Orchid in height. But the absolute highlight right now is the color development. The flower clusters are turning a fantastic, dark purple! Even though the pistils are still bright white, the base underneath them is showing those beautiful violet tones. It looks absolutely stunning! Don't forget to check out the Black Orchid Auto diary on my profile to see her unique dark foliage!
