it looks great!!!!! although the upper leaves "burn" from the strong light, but the flowers are developing well:) Palgron nutrient fertilizer waste does its job :) I like it:) also visited the quality control - "cat" no violations were noticed !!!:) I moved my suitcase to another room :) now the daytime temperature is only 28° ;) I managed to reduce it by 4°, which will definitely benefit her :) good luck to everyone :)

Hello, I prepared a good natural soil for this cultivation, here we have a lot of earthworm humus, horse manure that I prepared and a little bone meal among other components, the idea is to take only water and some soil coverings in case of shortages . This time I think I managed to form a light and loose soil, the solution was to use a lot of dry leaves crushed and sifted in the soil, we have life here!

Very compact, extremely resinous buds show color, trimmed as little as possible for natural drying, large and visible trichome head, slower harvest of sticky buds, strong smell, tutti frut, mango, tangerine. Orange, purple, yellow color. Terpenes something wonderful, limonene present, fundamental environment and temperature for this arrival Euphoric effect, relaxing active after a while, as it was crossed several times until reaching this car, it came with different characteristics from its sativa sisters and I like height and characteristics more of the most compact and plump buds.

Day 33-40 (May 24th-May 31st) (Day 34) I just found a herm branch on the tight blueberry pheno. It looks like a random pollen sack opened right above a lower branch. I removed the sack but I saw a small amount of dust fall onto one of the lower branches. I’m going to leave it to see if it will pollinate that small branch at all. I spent a good 5 minutes looking closely for bananas or claws but couldn’t find anymore. The main bud is clearly unaffected so I will just leave it unless it is visibly seeding itself. Too bad because I’m really excited for this plant. (Day 36) Not a lot has happened since I flushed them. Growth actually looks healthy and I don’t see any deficiencies on anything yet. (Day 37) Both of these badazz cheese phenos are picture perfect and easily hold up against Canadian and California quad grade. I might try to reveg them at the end and take some clones. They have this unique pungent, grassy, sour milk smell that is just wonderful. The density and bud structure is looking great too. This whole plant will probably take 3 minutes to trim if that. (Day 38) Just found a banana on the shitty blueberry pheno. This pheno is trash and I would honestly throw it away if it didn’t mess up the 3 perfect rows. It has almost no frost, no smell, is airy and has bad structure. I’ve actually never seen a plant with such little frost. Even outdoors. (Day 39) I think most of this tent will be done by day 60 but I will probably ride it out until day 70+. I don’t think the blueberries or the jacks will fill out very much either way but taking it too day 70 will ensure maximum production from each plant.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 8 | Knowing When to Let Go Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Last week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A reminded me that every phenotype speaks its own language. This week, she had another message: Some leaves had simply done their job. At around 126 cm, she's continuing to develop beautifully, with her flowering sites becoming more defined and those beautiful white pistils multiplying across the plant. And as the flowers become the main event, it was time to give her a little more room to breathe. 🌿 Quick Recap Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of the more elegant plants in the room. She's maintained a strong, balanced structure with good spacing between flowering sites, while her flowers are steadily stacking along the branches. Compared with last week, the transition is becoming very clear: Less stretch. More flower. More pistils. More resin. The plant is increasingly putting her energy into building flowers rather than producing new structure. And that's exactly what we want to see at this stage. ✂️ A Little Cleaning Up This week we decided it was time for some selective defoliation. There were several older fan leaves that were no longer contributing much to the canopy. Some were sitting underneath other foliage, creating unnecessary shade, while others were simply aging and no longer playing an important role in the plant's current development. So rather than removing leaves just for the sake of making the plant look cleaner, we focused on removing what was no longer useful. The goal wasn't to strip her down. It was simply to improve: Light penetration Air movement Visibility of developing flowers Canopy organization Overall efficiency of the plant This is one of those moments where less really can be more. We're not trying to redesign the plant. We're simply helping her use the space she's already created. 🌸 White Hairs Taking Over The flowers are now becoming impossible to ignore. Fresh white pistils are emerging everywhere, wrapping around the developing buds and giving the entire plant that unmistakable early-to-mid flowering appearance. The individual flower sites are becoming much more pronounced, and the main colas are beginning to show their future shape. There's still plenty of development ahead, but we're moving beyond the stage of simply forming flowers. Now we're watching them build. And that's always one of my favourite parts of the journey. 🍃 The Foliage After last week's nutritional adjustment, the newer growth continues looking healthy and strong. The deep green leaves are still carrying plenty of energy, while the older foliage that had begun fading naturally is now being removed where appropriate. This is another good reminder of why I prefer to watch the whole plant rather than judge one leaf in isolation. A plant doesn't need every single leaf to remain perfect until harvest. Sometimes an older leaf has simply completed its mission. And that's okay. 🍽️ Feeding The AutoPot system continues providing consistent irrigation throughout the room. This week's nutrient mix remains: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus when required The reservoir remains shared across the room, so consistency is especially important. Chem Brûlée is responding beautifully to the current feeding strategy. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with very stable conditions: 🌡️ Day: 29°C 🌙 Night: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% 🌱 Root zone: 21°C 💦 Solution: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Stable conditions continue giving the plants the freedom to focus on what matters now: building flowers. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really show the transition. The close-ups capture those beautiful white pistils exploding from the developing flowers, while the wider shots show how much the plant has changed as flowering progresses. And after the selective defoliation, the architecture of the plant becomes easier to appreciate. The flowers aren't hidden behind quite as much unnecessary foliage anymore. They're there. They're developing. And they're asking for time. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week, I'm expecting the flowers to become increasingly dense and defined. The remaining stretch should be minimal now, while the plant continues putting energy into flower development and resin production. What I don't expect is dramatic intervention. No major training. No unnecessary stripping. No trying to force her into a shape she doesn't naturally want. We'll continue monitoring the foliage, keeping the environment stable, maintaining the reservoir and making only the adjustments the plant actually asks for. At this stage, the best thing we can give her is consistency and time. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me.

Didn't have a lot of time this week so she missed her waterings for a couple of days, also didn't empty the dehydrator so humidity was up a few days. Installed a second cheap blurple led on the side, but doubt this will really help much. Having some trouble keeping temps up as winter is coming and I dont have a heater in my garage

We started week 7 Day 44 We noticed a little bit of nutrient burnt That's okay tho we went medium hard Last time we fed them It's okay, just the tip of 2 leaves not much to worry about. We already flush a little with just plain water today so she could feel better just in case. She's healthy and strong and developing tons of buds :) Any suggestion? Please feel free to comment below and thank you for your support, happy growing guys! Day 46 Great day outdoors from 7/7pm Rainy, cloudy, sunny But great after all, then we brought them back Inside for more CFL light Day 47 Weather outdoor Kinda hot but humid Only left them outdoors from 7/2pm then back inside for CFL Day 48 Fed them up, ladies all set All day outdoors great weather Gave them a Lil flush to each one after nutes, they had a nice run off Day 49 They looking even better today But I snapped accidentally one of the stems that carried 3 flowers, I was tryna get her LST so she could come out of scrog better but she's too thick and I was not gentle I'm so sorry guys, since she's full of buds and super healthy and literally fed yesterday and since she's full of nutes I think she'd be able to replace that stems which has already another bud forming below, so I think she'd be ready to double the stem and produce like 4 times more Buds on that area, that's what I'm hoping since it's not the main stem, anyways, I will keep you guys posted. I'm the mean time I'm taking that ripen stem with buds and hanging it so she can cure and dry and even tho it's so small hairs are already turning brownish so I guess I could smoke it and try it in several weeks I guess not sure but will keep you up to date and will open a grow question to see what's up with that Day 50 Outdoors from 6.40am until weather gets too hot DAY 51 Not much, everything good Day 52 A little bit defoliation Day 53 Outdoor and indoor comfort zone She's great we expanded the net we were using and also watered them a little End of week #7

This week marks the end for this beautiful Blueberry what an amazing journey! The buds turned out dense, frosty, and full of deep purple and blue shades, covered in a crazy amount of trichomes that glisten under the light. Most of the trichomes are now milky with around 10–15% amber, just perfect for a balanced and smooth high. The aroma is absolutely delicious strong blueberry sweetness mixed with creamy and earthy tones, getting more intense every single day. During the last week I gave only plain water for the final flush, and the plant faded nicely with beautiful yellow and purple contrasts on the leaves. The structure stayed compact with heavy colas and almost no fluff, showing excellent density for an auto. Harvested at the peak moment for both potency and flavor. Can’t wait to taste it after the dry and cure it’s definitely one of my most beautiful and aromatic plants so far! Made bubble hash from Blueberry trims. Final yield: 6.5 g recovered from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags combined. Steps (what I did): 1. Collected trims gathered all the trimmed material from the Blueberry plants and prepared it for processing. 2. Prepared frozen material chilled/froze the trims so they were ready for the wash. 3. Agitated in ice water agitated the frozen trims in ice water to separate the resin from the plant material. 4. Filtered through bubble bags ran the wash through a set of bubble bags, including the 72 µm and 25 µm bags, to separate the different grades. 5. Recovered resin collected the resin that accumulated in the 72 µm and 25 µm bags. 6. Pressed & dried pressed the collected resin into a ball and dried/allowed it to cure until stable. 7. Weighed final product after drying/curing, weighed the final product: 6.5 g total from the 72 µm + 25 µm fractions. Notes / Observations: • The final texture was [insert your texture e.g., sticky, sandy, crumbly] and the colour was [insert colour e.g., light blond / amber / dark]. • Yield came only from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags; other bag fractions produced negligible amounts this run. Harvested the Blueberry at perfect maturity cloudy trichomes, strong berry terpene profile and very dense flowers. Drying was slow and controlled, keeping the room at 60% RH / ~18°C for optimal preservation of cannabinoids and volatiles. After trimming the buds, I collected all the sugar leaves and small popcorn buds to run a full bubble hash wash using my 5-bag set (220 / 160 / 120 / 73 / 25 μm). I followed a cold wash method using ice + reverse osmosis water, keeping everything near 0–2°C. Gentle agitation only — no beating the material. Yields: • 72–73 μm: main grade — golden, oily, perfect melt • 25 μm: clean sandy resin, great for rosin pressing Total hash yield from this plant: 7 grams. The 73 μm fraction was pressed by hand into a sticky, elastic temple ball and has been curing at 16°C / 55% RH for slow maturation. The smoke from the flowers is incredibly smooth, with a classic Blueberry profile — sweet, creamy, slightly earthy with a berry exhale. Very relaxing and euphoric high, ideal for evening use. Overall, one of my most enjoyable runs so far.

The big girls have the tent to themselves after the GZ auto was harvested this week , looks to be around 5oz when dry so a nice little bonus smoke . Tied the girls out into final positions and they are looking and feeling chunky some of these colas are over a foot long and getting smelly as .

So there is actually very little work this week .. She has been a real joy to grow so far.. I do understand what they meant by pheno-hunting...

🇺🇸 Week 8 of Growth – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇺🇸 This week, I’m happy! The roots have recovered well. They continue to eliminate dead roots, and you can see in the photos that new root growth is emerging. This is a great sign—it means the plant is regaining strength. The roots have resumed their growth, which is the big highlight of the week. The plant has also continued to develop foliage. It’s now dense and well-filled out. Today, I did a major defoliation to maximize light penetration and maintain good airflow. Now, I’ll let the plant recover because I think I’ll be switching to flowering soon, maybe next week or the one after. I really want to optimize light penetration to encourage new shoots, which will later become flowering sites. Environmental Conditions & Nutrients: We’re still at 18 hours of light, with temperatures between 25–27°C and humidity around 70%. pH and EC: I’ve had some issues with pH rising. It tends to climb to 6.5–6.6, so I have to lower it regularly. Since switching back to RO water, I stopped adding tap water. But now, I’ve started reintroducing small amounts to help stabilize the nutrient solution. Initially, my RO water had an EC of 0.1, which I increased to 0.2–0.3, and now I plan to raise it to 0.4 before adding nutrients. This should help maintain a more stable pH. The EC was set at 1.4, and now it has dropped slightly to 1.3, which is great news—it means the plant is drinking and absorbing nutrients well. Final Thoughts: • The roots are bouncing back. • The plant is strong and healthy. • I performed heavy defoliation and topped some apical growths to keep the canopy even as I finish filling the Scrog net. • I changed the nutrient solution this week, so we’re on a fresh mix. Now, I’ll let the plant recover from the defoliation, which might slow it down for a couple of days. Overall, things are looking great, and we’re getting closer to flowering! ⸻ 🇫🇷 Semaine 8 de Croissance – Mother Gorilla – Royal Queen Seeds 🇫🇷 Cette semaine, je suis content ! Les racines ont bien repris. Elles continuent d’éliminer les racines mortes, et sur les photos, on peut voir que de nouvelles pousses apparaissent. C’est un excellent signe : la plante retrouve sa vigueur. Les racines ont repris leur croissance, et c’est vraiment la bonne nouvelle de la semaine. La plante a également continué son développement foliaire. Elle est maintenant bien touffue et bien fournie. Aujourd’hui, j’ai fait une grosse défoliation pour maximiser la pénétration lumineuse et maintenir une bonne circulation de l’air. Maintenant, je vais laisser la plante récupérer tranquillement, car je pense la passer en floraison bientôt, probablement la semaine prochaine ou celle d’après. Je veux vraiment optimiser la pénétration lumineuse pour favoriser de nouvelles pousses, qui deviendront des sites de floraison. Conditions & Nutrition : On reste sur 18 heures de lumière, avec des températures entre 25 et 27°C, et une humidité d’environ 70%. pH et EC : J’ai eu quelques soucis avec le pH, qui a tendance à monter jusqu’à 6,5–6,6, donc je dois le réajuster régulièrement. Depuis que je suis repassé à l’eau osmosée, je ne mets plus d’eau du robinet, mais j’ai recommencé à en ajouter un peu pour aider à stabiliser la solution nutritive. À l’origine, mon eau osmosée avait une EC de 0,1, que j’ai augmentée à 0,2–0,3, et maintenant, je compte la monter à 0,4 avant d’ajouter les nutriments. Cela devrait aider à maintenir un pH plus stable. L’EC était à 1,4, et maintenant, elle est descendue à 1,3, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle : la plante boit et absorbe bien les nutriments. En résumé : • Les racines reprennent bien. • La plante est forte et en bonne santé. • J’ai fait une grosse défoliation et topé quelques apex pour maintenir une canopée homogène et finaliser le remplissage du Scrog. • Changement de solution nutritive cette semaine, donc on repart sur du neuf. Je vais maintenant laisser la plante récupérer de la défoliation, ce qui la ralentira sans doute un peu pendant 2–3 jours. Dans l’ensemble, ça se passe très bien, et on se rapproche de la floraison ! 🤘😎

Está semana les di mamooth p y monster bloom engordaron bastante espero les guste chao 😁 Unas fotos nuevas con otra camara

I put 318 grams of wet bud into my dry tent, my target variables are 60F/60RH for 2 week, with the current temps and high out side humidity we are averaging 66F/58%RH so not to far off - these buds will probably be done at 10 days - looking forward to updating this as harvest report when I trim up.

Week ten. I started giving booster one week ago, so her flowers are getting better every day. What do you guys think? How does she look? Shall I do more defoliation? But my tent is pretty small too. Consider that while responding, please.

Jan 7: Beginning of the week Light @ 150w (raised it from 24 to 32 inch) Jan 8: began a brew of compost tea and will feed tomorrow. Jan 10: Topped the two C&C Jan 13: Began training the plants (LST) and cut all the big leaves for better light exposure Slight discoloration on some leaves I removed... Not sure what it is... Compost tea recipe: 2 gal dechlorinated tap water 1 tbsp Wholesome Molasses 2 tbsp GaiaGreen Kelp meal 2 tbsp GaiaGreen Alfalfa meal 1 tbsp GaiaGreen 444 2 tbsp Bat guano 842

Still taking about 2-3L of water each day, feeding ucann bloom every two weeks with worm castings. A little bleaching on the gelato but I just raised the light a few more inches, hoping it’s enough to prevent more. The Coco Melon is short but the buds are looking very compact.

Reaching the end 👏🏻👏🏻😁 control of trichomes😎😋 the rest of the days only with water 💦💦 temperature 27º C ☀️ humidity 65% 💧 and music 🎼 😉👍

Will update sho
