This week I decided to remove the LST and let her strech out as much as she wants. I lollipopped her on day 49 and cutted down all the branches that will never grow to the light. She has to strech as much as possible because there are some way taller plants under the same light. I hope she gonna produce some nice flower and will continue to strach abit. Thanks Fastbuds for the Amazing Strain !

To think I thought she was stunted! Doing really well this week, temps are skyrocketing where Iโ€™m at and will remain high this week. We had a lot of rain earlier this week, which seems to have helped her, but also brought some fungus gnats around. Iโ€™ve been using yellow traps + am going to let this heat finish drying out the top layer of soil.

Week 7 Veg - January 16/21 to 22/21 ***** Week 7 will be their last week being able to take them out of the tent๐Ÿ˜Ÿ SCROG netting going in on the weekend ahead. Not really a lot to report this week as the girls are doing well and I am just wanting their side branches to grow longer to help filling in the canopy anyway. Performed more LST this week and bending over the branches daily. Didnโ€™t do any HST this week, will once the net is in and I have a better visual of how the branches need to bend. They have come a long ways over the last 2 weeks when you look back at pictures. They have filled out with more side branching and other than battling a little purple striping on the main stems they seem pretty happy. Leaf colour is good and should be in good shape for the flip soon. Will go through all of week 8 before flipping so hopefully week 9 will be transition week and week 10 the start of flower.......have to get through next week first though๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Switching over to tap water again. I have been struggling with calcium and magnesium deficiencies on all grows for the last year. I canโ€™t seem to get the right amount added back to the RO water I use in all feedings. So running with straight water again now. Ppm coming out is 325 so I will work with that. Going to explore my own RO system in the house rather than bottled water, a system that adds back calcium, magnesium, and iron. Itโ€™s been flowing okay for the first week and will continue on for now. Using RO water I have been feeding full strength on the nutrients and have been working on backing them down a bit to compensate for the starting point of 325 now. They have continued to be fed once a week roughly and supplemented with calmag and microbes. Little more detail....... Jan 16/21, Day 43 Veg - 3L each of full line at full strength in RO water - 1150ppm and 5.8pH given to the girls - didnโ€™t add any other nutes other than IPP line. Jan 17/21, Day 44 Veg - dry out day - pulled down all the girls again tonight to train them outwards. - Jan 18/21, Day 45 Veg - 3L for each girl today with tap water and CalMag @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml, Natureโ€™s Candy @ 1.5ml - 700ppm and 5.7pH is what that works out to. - have to use a considerable amount of pH down to adjust the tap water, over 6ml in 16L Jan 19/21, Day 46 Veg - measured the girls today, GSCHB Is 12โ€ tall. They were topped already๐Ÿ˜€ - dry out day for the girls. - pulled two large fan leaves from her. They were just getting the way too much of lower branches light. Jan 20/21, Day 47 Veg - 2.5L each with plain tap water - 295ppm and 5.8pH. - all the girls are looking big and bushy today.......they are ready for flip soon. Jan 21/21, Day 48 Veg - dry out day for the girls. Jan 22/21, Day 49 Veg - pulled all the girls down again......repeating the same LST each day manually rather than tying down for now. - this should be water day but leaving for today as I am going to lolipop the lower branches and a heavier leaf stripping tomorrow. - will feed tomorrow as they will benefit more. Very solid week ETS......the girls are taking off and expect to see lots of leaves popping out over the next couple of weeks๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Work on the side branching to come up higher closer to the tops next week.......continue tap water and give a feed with Epsom Salts new week

They're getting limey tops and a little serrated so we gave them a full strength dose of calmag earlier today (will doc next week) and moved the light up a few inches..we expect they'll look better in a week or so... We also removed any large fan leaf blocking the center growth.. The Solux350 is kicking ass at 75% power, it looks like plenty of light to the eye however we do intend to run it at 100% after their flowering stretch.. not too much else to report,, great genetics and lighting make for easy weeks!

๐Ÿ“‹ Die Golosa steht jetzt stabil in der dritten Blรผtewoche, insgesamt sind wir in Woche 6. Die Pflanze hat sich nach den Eingriffen gut gefangen und zeigt ein sattes, gesundes Grรผn. Die Struktur ist durch das Lollipopping und die Defoliation deutlich offener geworden, was fรผr eine gute Belรผftung der unteren Bereiche sorgt. Die Blรผtenansรคtze entwickeln sich gleichmรครŸig an den freigestellten Triebspitzen. ๐Ÿ“ รœber die Woche gemessen steht die Pflanze bei 44 cm Hรถhe. Die Lichtperiode lรคuft konstant auf 12 Stunden am Tag. Die Umgebungswerte haben sich bei einer Durchschnittstemperatur von 28.08 ยฐC und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von 67 % eingependelt. Der VPD liegt stabil bei 1.26 kPa, bei einer durchschnittlichen CO2-Konzentration von 1177 ppm. ๐Ÿ’ง In dieser Woche wurde zweimal gedรผngt. Die GieรŸmenge lag insgesamt bei 5.5 L, im Schnitt also 2.75 L pro Vorgang. Dabei habe ich den pH-Wert auf durchschnittlich 6.35 eingestellt und den EC-Wert bei 1.45 mS/cm gehalten. Das Schema setzt sich aus Athena Blended Line Balance mit 2.25 ml/L, Athena Pro Bloom mit 4.5 ml/L und Athena Pro Core mit 2.7 ml/L zusammen. Zusรคtzlich gab es zwei Sondergaben von Athena Blended Line CaMg mit 0.5 ml/L. Die Wassertemperatur lag im Schnitt bei 21.4 ยฐC. โœ‚๏ธ Nach dem Lollipopping und der Defoliation sieht die Pflanze jetzt sehr aufgerรคumt aus. Die Energie flieรŸt nun gezielt in die oberen Blรผtenstรคnde, was man an der Vitalitรคt der Spitzen bereits gut erkennen kann. ๐Ÿ“ธ Die aktuelle Entwicklung sieht vielversprechend aus. Die Blattfarbe deutet auf eine gute Nรคhrstoffversorgung hin, keine Anzeichen von Stress oder Mangel. In den nรคchsten Tagen werde ich das Hรถhenwachstum genau im Auge behalten, da sie jetzt den Stretch-Bereich der Blรผte langsam hinter sich lรคsst und voll in die Blรผtenproduktion einsteigt.

Nice plants 2 totally different phenotypes, as one was already harvested, and the other isn't even half way of flowering after 10 weeks. Nice trichome production, great fresh and fruity smell, this plant is a pleasure to smoke in the end of the day. Dried her upside down hanging in a tent I have for the purpose, at 25c, 30%RH - Only removed fan leaves, no manicuring, been doing that as I smoke, noticed the bud lasts longer and with a better smell and you end up saving loads of time. Really happy with this smoke, smells like proper weed. Maybe was the best time I dried and cure(ing). Only problem is that I'm smoking more as it's so tasty ahaha. Good stuff, thumbs up! PS - I'll start looking for the "original" Zkittlez to try out and check the differences between them. Update: 12 April 2021 - Chopped down Plant #2 So, finally Saturday I chopped her down. She looked now ready and delicious, although I only notice yesterday how many seeds she has allover the place. She hermied in front of me without noticing, not good at all and need to start looking much better and in detail into the plants. Feel like an idiot now. Anyways, it was a full week! Emptied the grinder collector and pressed it down a little, makes a very nice smoke, light but pleasant, the kind of stuff it keep you going all day without the dumb effect. From all trimming made the bubble hash. Got a little too green as the 220micron bag's stitches slightly opened letting some contaminants in the final mix, hence the green color. This was a hit. in opposition to the grinder stuff, this sent me straight to the moon, really heavy stone effect, even thinking was hard. Reminded me those afghan/ moroccan balls we used to get back in the early 2000's. The weed itself it's still drying so the smoke report will be updated in there. 715g of fresh cut plant is good, let's see the potency and the seeds. Might turn it all into bubble hash, if I see it'll be an hassle to remove seeds. On an earlier bud I've cut and dried, smoked it and you can see pure white ashes in the bong. Ain't that a beauty?

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Little Unicorn Has Gone Full Auto Mode Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... I think Frosted Guava Pheno A has officially stopped caring about what anybody else in this room is doing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's in full auto mode. And honestly? I'm absolutely loving it. She's growing. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing some beautiful flower formation. And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm. At this point, I'm not even trying to guess what she's going to do next. I'm just watching. Because every time I think I understand this girl... she does something else. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She's definitely one of the more interesting personalities in the room. And this week? She's looking absolutely beautiful. So let's give this little unicorn the spotlight she deserves. ๐Ÿฆ„โœจ 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„ FULL AUTO MODE ACTIVATED 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 know... technically she's an autoflower. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But watching all these different cultivars under the same 12/12-from-seed environment has created one of the funniest parts of this entire experiment. At this point, I honestly don't know which ones are behaving like autos... and which ones are behaving like photoperiods. The photoperiods are behaving like autos. The autos are behaving like photoperiods. And some of them seem to have decided: "Why don't we just do whatever the hell we want?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Frosted Guava Pheno A definitely belongs in that last category. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. This is exactly why I love the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can give them the same stage. We can give them the same lighting. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same schedule. And then... the genetics start writing their own story. And this girl has definitely picked her own chapter. 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 FLOWER FORMATION 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”€ This is probably the first thing that catches my eye this week. The flower formation. It's beautiful. The structures are becoming more substantial. The individual flowers are developing beautifully. And the overall plant is starting to carry some serious presence. We're past the point where I'm simply looking for flowering sites. They're here. They're established. They're building. And now I'm watching what they're becoming. That's one of my favourite stages of the entire run. The plant has already told us: "I'm flowering." Now she's starting to tell us: "Look what I'm building." And Frosted Guava is giving us plenty to look at. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ 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 THIS GIRL IS HEAVY 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 think this deserves its own section. Because she's heavy. Really heavy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ You can see it in the way the plant carries itself. There is a substantial amount of flower developing throughout her structure, and she's definitely becoming one of those girls where you start looking at the branches a little differently. Not because there's a problem. Quite the opposite. It's because she's built something worth carrying. The plant is putting her energy into flower development and stacking, and the result is becoming increasingly impressive. She's got weight. She's got structure. She's got flowers everywhere. And she's definitely not finished. That's the part that makes me curious. Because if she's already carrying this much... where does she decide to take it from here? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy letting her answer that question herself. 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 LITTLE UNICORN IS STILL HERE 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 nickname isn't going anywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ Frosted Guava Pheno A still has that little something that makes her different. The flower structures. The way she's developing. The little peculiarities. The overall personality. She's not just another plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And that's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't necessarily know what you're going to get from a name. You can have expectations. You can have descriptions. You can have breeder information. But then you put the plant into your own environment... and she tells you who she actually is. This girl is telling us: "I'm going to be beautiful, I'm going to be heavy, and I'm going to do things my way." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š Fair enough, girl. We're listening. 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 THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE STORY 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 underneath all that development... the frost continues to catch the eye. The flowers are increasingly detailed. The surfaces are becoming more textured. The resin-covered areas are becoming more obvious. And once the camera gets close? That's when the fun really starts. ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ From across the room, she's a beautiful flowering plant. From a few centimetres away... she becomes another world. Pistils. Trichomes. Flower structure. Little details. Textures. And all those tiny things that disappear when you're simply looking at the whole plant. That's why I love photographing this stage. The plant is changing every week. And the camera lets us freeze those changes in time. Frosted Guava is giving us plenty of moments worth freezing. 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 DEEP GREEN & 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”€ And let's not forget that beautiful foliage. That deep green remains one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. It gives the plant so much visual depth. The darker foliage creates contrast against the developing flowers. And then you add the frost... and suddenly you've got this incredibly photogenic combination. Deep green. Developing flowers. Bright pistils. Frost. Texture. And those peculiar little floral structures that make her look like the unicorn she has become. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’šโ„๏ธ She's not trying to look like anybody else. And that's exactly how it should be. 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. MORE PHOTONS. SAME 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 has received the same upgrade as the rest of the room. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. When we first introduced them, the available PPFD was higher than our target. So rather than simply running everything flat out, we've reduced the output to around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug This gives us approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Frosted Guava? She's receiving the same photons as everyone else. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded environment. Yet... look at what she's doing with it. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. The photons are there. She's deciding what to do with them. And apparently... she has plans. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ 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 THE 8ร—8 ARTIFICIAL SUN 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 still one of the things I find most fascinating about the project. We have created one big artificial sun. And now we're watching twelve different genetic personalities interpret it. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some move quickly. Some take their time. Some become extremely frosty. Some build huge flowers. Some create strange structures. And some... become Frosted Guava. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. And this little unicorn is putting on a pretty damn good show. 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€“ SAME PROGRAM, NEW LEVEL 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 nutritional program has also been updated across the room. Terra Bloom has increased slightly: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L with the rest of the flowering program remaining: 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 readings are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And once again... Frosted Guava is receiving the same overall program as everybody else. No special recipe. No special treatment. No attempt to force her into another phenotype. We're simply giving her the same opportunity... and watching what she does with it.

And the plants are continuing to show us how differently they interpret the same world. 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 SHE'S STACKING 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 where I keep coming back. The stacking. There is something extremely satisfying about seeing the flowers begin to build on themselves. You can look at a single branch and see multiple developing flower structures. Then you look at another. And another. And suddenly you realize how much of the plant is participating. She's not putting everything into one isolated point. She's building throughout her structure. And as those flowers gain more presence, the entire plant starts to look heavier. More substantial. More mature. And honestly... I really like what I'm seeing. ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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 DOING WHAT SHE WANTS 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 might actually be my favourite part of her story. She's doing what the fuck she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sorry, but... she is. We're here. We're watching. We're providing. We're documenting. And Frosted Guava is basically saying: "Thanks for the support. I'll take it from here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And you know what? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because the best part of growing isn't always controlling the plant. Sometimes it's watching the plant reveal itself. Sometimes the most interesting thing you can do is step back and let genetics speak. And this girl has plenty to say. 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 SHE'S MOVING 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”€ She's not necessarily trying to win some imaginary race. She's simply moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. The flowers are progressing. The structure is developing. The plant is becoming heavier. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And the whole thing is starting to come together. We're still not at the finish line. Far from it. So I'm not going to start pretending we know exactly where she'll end. We don't. And that's the fun part. We're watching. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. Flower by flower. And Frosted Guava is writing her own story in real time. 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 HAS A BUSY WEEK 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”€ I already know what's going to happen. I'm going to photograph the whole plant. Then a branch. Then a flower. Then another. Then I'll see something interesting. Then I'll move closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And suddenly I've spent twenty minutes photographing one cola. But that's okay. Because this stage deserves that attention. There is so much detail developing. The flower structures. The stacking. The resin. The pistils. The textures. The little peculiarities. And all those things make each photograph another little piece of the diary. We're not just recording the final result. We're recording the journey. And Frosted Guava is giving us a very interesting journey. 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 AUTO WORLD IS GETTING CONFUSING 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 deserves another mention because it's honestly one of the funniest observations from this entire run. We're now looking at another autoflower... under the exact same 12/12-from-seed environment... and she's behaving like she belongs here perfectly. Meanwhile, some of the photoperiods are behaving like they're autos. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... which is which? Honestly? Sometimes I don't know anymore. And I think that's one of the coolest things about this experiment. The labels tell us what the genetics are. The plants tell us how they're actually expressing themselves in this particular environment. And Frosted Guava? She's clearly comfortable with the arrangement. She's not complaining. She's not asking for a different schedule. She's just growing. And growing 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”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ HEAVY GIRL, BEAUTIFUL 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 are plenty of plants in this room that have caught my attention. But Frosted Guava has something special. She's becoming heavy. She's becoming increasingly substantial. And she's doing it while maintaining that beautiful personality that we've been watching since the beginning. The structure is interesting. The flowers are beautiful. The plant has presence. And now she's reaching that point where you start wondering just how much more she can build. I'm curious. Very curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ But I'm not rushing her. She's got her own clock. And I'm happy to let her use 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” 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 have changed again. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to flower. She's clearly flowering. I'm no longer wondering whether she's going to build flowers. She's clearly building them. Now I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ How much more will the flowers stack? โš–๏ธ How much more weight will she carry? โ„๏ธ How much more resin will develop? ๐Ÿฆ„ Will those unusual floral structures continue? ๐ŸŒฟ How will the overall plant mature from here? And perhaps the biggest question: Where the hell is this little unicorn going? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ I honestly don't know. And I love that. Because if I already knew the answer... what would be the fun in watching? 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 NO NEED TO FORCE THE STORY 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 girl doesn't need us to rewrite her. She doesn't need us to turn her into another phenotype. She doesn't need us to make her behave differently. She's healthy. She's developing. She's building. She's beautiful. So we're going to let her continue. The grower provides the environment. The plant does the growing. The camera documents the journey. And everybody gets to enjoy the show. That's the philosophy. And Frosted Guava is making it very easy to follow. 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„ LET THE UNICORN 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”€ So here we are. Week 11. Frosted Guava Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still green. Still frosty. Still peculiar. Still stacking. Still getting heavier. Still doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š She's another one of those girls where I walk into the room and immediately notice her. Not because she's screaming. Not because she's demanding. But because she has personality. And now... she's becoming a seriously heavy flowering plant. That's a combination I really like. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the weirdness. Let's appreciate the unicorn. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธโœจ Because honestly? I wouldn't change 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”€ 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”€ We're still not at the finish line. There is plenty of road ahead. And I'm genuinely curious about what the next chapters will look like. Will the flowers continue stacking? Will she continue getting heavier? Will the unusual floral structures become even more pronounced? Will the frost keep building? How will the plant look when she finally decides she's done? I don't know. And that's exactly why I'm keeping the camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ We'll let her tell us. No rushing. No forcing. Just watching. 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 fascinating phenotype. And another reminder that this 8ร—8 Adventure is really about one thing: watching genetics express themselves. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare phenotypes and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us this little unicorn to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the lighting and, especially, for the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that allowed us to expand the lighting capability of the room. 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 the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what these girls are doing this week. It genuinely means a lot. And Frosted Guava? Well... she's still doing what Frosted Guava does. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavy. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more interesting. And she's doing it completely in her own way. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š So yes... let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's see where this beautiful, heavy little unicorn decides to take us. Because she's clearly not finished yet. And I, for one, am very curious to see what she has planned next. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ„โœจ

Day 40 : Watering today community after 3 days. They were too thirsty and drank 2.5L per plant. I added a lot of food to the water. But it finished with 800ppm only. I think Biobizz decreased the density of nutrients. I added 1 co2 tab / 5L as every time. Also made small defoliation to the bottom for all ladies. She have reached 53cm.

New week starts.* โ˜€๏ธ04.10.2023 I watered my garden with 80% 'Pre-flowering TriPart farmula. It's time already (2nd week of 12/12 light shedule). โ˜€๏ธ06.10.2023 I saw a very first pestel (stigma) on one of "Special Queen" plants today. On a 16th day of 12/12 shedule! I don't know why flowering is coming so late this time, maybe it's because of 'grow' feeding (I started to give them 'pre-flowering nutrients two days ago). I have no room in my box already. The 'vegetation' state was too long... *For full info watch previous week. Alot of photos and full destription there. โ˜€๏ธ08.10.2023 Now I know why my plants doesn't start floweryng by so long (almost 3 weeks). I've accidantaly sat a light shadule to 13/11 instead of 12/12. Meanwhile, they are huge... โ˜€๏ธ11.10.1023 Watering with 'TA Tripart'+'TA Bio Bloom'+'TA Mineral Magic'. I noticed that 'Mineral Magic'(Silicates) are rising solution PH slowly but shurely. So now I use it instead of 'Ph UP'.

Trimmed up the bottoms of the plants after the pics were taken, just forgot to take more. Buds are really starting to pop up everywhere. Currently in NY, and my girlfriend is watching the ladies for a week, so I will try to get her to send me some updated pics. These are from ~5 days ago, and there has been substantial bud bulling since then. They are drinking nutes and water like crazy and get topped off on both every single day lol.
