11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

The stretch has stopped with precision, and Skywalker Haze has now set a course for floral compaction and terpene production. The AN Master Recipe protocol is in full effect with Overdrive just activated. The 3 daily watering cycles via drip kit ensure gradual and balanced absorption throughout the day, adapting to the plant's metabolic rate. 💡 Lighting: Phlizon FD9600 on maximum Mars Hydro 100W on low

It was a great and enjoyable experience. Although my light was low, I got a good result. My light was 120 watts. In the first week of growth, my plant was uprooted It stopped growing for a week and then Powerful continued to grow

Week 10 - Here we go … we’re at Day 64 or the very first day of week 10 from seed. It’s been a nice journey so far with no big issues except for a slight deficiency in the first week of flowering, which I duly adjusted by starting off Plagron’s green sensation or HULK juice as I like to call it. Now we’re heading onto the finishing line with dense buds boasting an array of colours and covered in trichomes. I’m keeping the trichomes under check and currently they are 90% cloudy and 10% clear. Day 68 - woooooooh …. Nearly there Day 70 - Winter is coming Girls are ready for harvest and this time round I want to experiment a little. Starting today I increased the dark period to 10 hours and intend to give them 48 hours complete darkness before harvest somewhere around Day 77. The aim ? I read that simulating winter helps the plants increase their trichomes production for the last push before they die. I also decreased the temperatures and humidity levels. Will keep ya all updated 👍

Update Day 22 flowering: A good week of bud building this week for the Fft Girls. FFT#8 Is still in here but not a lot tonsay about her really sadly I didn't get to try this one out properly but will try again sometime. FFT#9 Has been a dream to work with and build so far . Her progression this week on her flower building has been perfection. Her ruderalis traits had her stretch about finished at day 12 and she had begun to flower properly. I did a defoliate at day 19 instead of day 21 due to their faster genetics. They looked stripped below decks but by day 21 they refilled a few back out and now look leafed up again. lol She has a little tackiness tot her stems now and is picking up a nice piney smell. She has some great looking mains now and should be a good yielder. FFT#10 Another winner in my book. This lady wanted to grow her own way initially but has now accepted her fate and behaves as i wanted niw. lol. Her budstacks are a little wider apart due to her indica/sativa ratios being more indica I feel . Her dark green colour is so stark in contrast to the other strains too. Her stacks look more leafy orientated than the other strains too. i defoliated her too but she responded quickly with sugar leaf growth. Her bud sizes are looking promising to say she has 4-5 weeks to go so fingers crossed for baseball bat colas. She has been easy to grow with no issues at any point so far. prior to the defol , I had purposely dried them out to get a cycle going better of wet /dry. She showed her disapproval first with major leaf drooping across her whole frame. She is a thirsty girl too. I am happy with all of these testers and impressed at their rapid development too. I do think the new sp3000 has plated a part in this development too as the extra reds and stuff added are more for the flowering cycle than previous sp series ones. the Sp250 is giving me a great addition to the outside edge of the girls so should keep them all in max lumens until the harvest. Be safe and well folks. Thanks for stopping by.

That's the hard work all done. Few weeks on plain water and I think these girls are about ready. Lights are on 100% and they're reacting with some nice purple hues. Out of the three strains I have running these look the biggest tightest buds. Beautiful aromas from them too. Apart from my over watering they've been a very easy grow. Would recommend these to beginners happily. Big buds, easy grow, not too much stretch. They look great in my opinion. They're absolutely stacking the trichs on. Couldn't fit any more on. Few cloudy ones appearing. I usually wait for mainly cloudy with a lot of amber. I like a heavy stone from Indica dom strains. I've out a video on, hope it's come out OK.

Next week of flowering Some of girs are preparing for the final ferts I add more grams and katana dragon force to the tank and now U will see thje magic of SHOGUN ! 😁

Its been very hot these past days in Ontario and the outdoor grow loves it! Plants have been growing nice and tall, growing some fatty leaves, I wanna see how they grow without any human interference so I will leave them without training for now. The soil is still providing nutes for the looks of it, I have started spraying some natural homemade pesticide you can find the recipes on my Instagram @girlgoneweed (under the highlights) I have been spraying 2x a week to keep rodents, aphids, mites, and mildew away. *The video is a dark angel as well but this one I have it on my roof garden.* Thanks for following along, see y'all next xoxo

This girl is showing so many pretty flowers. I know she’s going to be a load.

So think by far the best of the bunch is one pheno of b-45. Insane structure, just the right amount of internodal spacing, huge nugs definitely bigger than golf balls. Tons of frost and very nice kush/citrus terps. Not to mention deep purple colours on the buds and the leaves despite not lowering the temps. Very curious to see what she will bring to the scales but I’m pretty sure she’s above 120g. True winner. Got her clones going and hope the clones will maintain the quality despite stress. Had some quality deterioration happen for some clones, but did my share of mistakes and learned some lessons. I am disappointed sa far in blue Zushi form Dutch passion, very different plants. One pheno is completely like purple lemonade form fastbuds. Terps are 1:1. I like the green leaves, purple buds combo. But it’s definitely not a skittles smell. Have a great Easter everyone. Cheers

***** Week 6 May 16 to 22, 2020 - Days 36 to 42 from germination ***** Calling this a flower week but it certainly is more of transition week. Been battling a busy life along with pH issues this grow. Starting to get both under control😃 These girls were transplanted into 3 gal plastic pots after battling pH issues and unable to bring down below 7.1 until cut out of fabric pots.........piss off!!! Cheap fabric pots from Amazon are a thing of the past!!!! 😡😡😡 Ordering Radical bags👍 During transplant GSC2 took it hard. She got twisted coming out of the old pot and it was a bit of a disaster😢..........GSC went very well and her root mass stayed together.😃 GSC2 is a freak and I am learning more from her. Growing out almost sideways from the pot. Keeping an eye on the main stem to ensure she doesn’t start to rot at the soil level........may trim off a couple of more branches. Her root mass won’t be very big so think I will take more branches and let her focus on building the density of a few bud sites rather than spreading a little to several sites. LST introduced this week as well. Started the introduction of Rezin and Terpinator now. Little more detail.......... May 16/20 - Day 36 - 2L each girl of Massive @ 3ml, VeloKelp, Rezin, @ 2ml, Sensyzime, Liquid Wt, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 1000ppm and 4.5pH - stop lower the pH as much next feeds. 5.5 idea now and see how they react. I really want 6.2 going in!!!!😞 - GSC2 is concern as she took the transplant poorly with her whole root mass being flipped over and on top of herself. May 17/20 - Day 37 - Mixed 3L water with Massive @ 2.5ml, Piranha, Voodoo, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Rezin, Liquid Wt, CalMag @ 1ml = 1050ppm and 5.5pH - GSC given 2L and GSC2 only 1L. - giving them more microbes and beneficials next couple of feeds with more Piranha and Voodoo again. - stripped more leaves today. GSC2 took more lower stuff as well.,,.....so bushy on the bottom. May 18/20 - Day 38 - mixed 3.5L water with Massive @ 3ml, Piranha, Voodoo, Dual Fuel, Rezin, Liquid Wt, Vitathrive @ 1.5ml = 850ppm and 5.7pH - checked some runoff numbers today...... - GSC runoff was 400ppm and 5.8pH. - GSC2 runoff was 550ppm and 6.2pH - PH is back in line!!!!!!🙌🙌 - GSC is coming along but her branches are not as thick as I would like. Side branches are getting longer. - GSC2 is a mess in general😀 She is shooting out fan leaves and they leaves are getting bigger but she is not getting any bigger?? - LST day today and GSC had some branches pulled down. Leaving GSC2 for now., May 19/20 - Day 39 - dry out day - just left them alone today😃 May 20/20 - Day 40 - 2L each girl of water with Rhino skin, CalMag, Sensyzime @ 1.5ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml = 650ppm and 6.1pH - there was some runoff from GSC2 only. - girls look happy overall today. May 21/20 - Day 41 - 3L water mixed with Rezin and Terpinator @ 1.5ml = 160ppm and 5.7pH - was going to be a plain water feed but changed last minute and its time for Terpinator. - the girls are not overly happy today.....not sure why - all girls seem to be responding well to the LST over last couple of days. May 22/20 - Day 42 - dry out day - Both girls still trying to set bud sites but no success yet.

This is a pretty casual diary — just tracking for my own purposes mostly. Been trying some new strategies to increase temperature and humidity in the tent. She’s just flipping over to flower now — I wasn’t sure weather I would top the plant... but I decided to this one time just in the edge of flower — didn’t want to do it earlier to avoid inducing flower

Heute habe ich meine Girls ein 2 mal getoppt, und einwenig entlaubt. Vor 2 Tagen habe ich von jeder Pflanze 2 Stecklinge entnommen da das Wachstum sehr gut ist, und sie mit dem Stress gut zurecht kommen, bis jetzt zeigen sie keine Mangelerscheinungen. Futter gab es heute nur einwenig da ich sie nicht übersättigen will. Ich werde sie ein drittes mal toppen wenn meine Girls in den nächsten Tagen keine stress Symptome anzeigt.

The canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see

Last week of feed for this lady :) Update end of week nine , Well the bud production this week has been absolutely crazy , She has now slowed right down on her feeding too , so the flush begins , she still needs too cloud up and go amber but she will have enough nutrients in her and the soil too last her until she ripens , she really has been a joy too watch grow and develop , I would not think twice about growing this strain ,

Finally week 2, plant is doing great. idk if it's airpot, nutrients, 20 hours of lights or genetics, but girl is growing really fast. New nutrients this week with increased amounts, but not full dose. Full dose will be given from day 10-11. Day 8 - Plant reacted great to 20 hours of light. Stem is still little bit thin for plant size, but fan breeze will help. 1L with nutrients. PH perfect G-B-M 1.2 ml/l, Root Plus 2 ml/l, Diamond Nectar 1.25 ml/l, CALiMAGic 0.4 ml/l. Day 9 - Good day, great progress. Very healthy color. 1L water under plant, 1L on sides of pot. Day 10 - Plant is growing by hours. Increased amount of nutrients and water. 2L from today. PH perfect G-B-M 2 ml/l, Root Plus 2 ml/l, Diamond Nectar 1.25 ml/l, CALiMAGic 0.4 ml/l. Day 11 - Oh man i dont know what to say about it, its growing very fast. As you can see on photos, a lot of side leaves is coming. Stem is getting strong, makes me very happy. So far so good. No water today. Day 12 - 2L with nutrients. Peace.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 12 🦄 The Little Unicorn Is Rolling Toward the Next Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌿💚 Well... Our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Moving. Stacking. Building. And apparently... doing it faster than some of the girls around her. 😂🦄🔥 Frosted Guava Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that makes me stop for a second every time I walk past her. She's beautiful. She's developing beautifully. She's getting heavier. She's continuing to build those amazing flower structures. And at this point... I'm not really doing much. Actually... I'm doing almost nothing. 😂 The big work has already been done. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The plant knows what she's doing. So now? We're basically watching the show. 🍿🌿🦄 And honestly... what a show she's putting on. ──────────────────────── 🦄 WEEK 12 – THE LITTLE UNICORN KEEPS MOVING ──────────────────────── Frosted Guava Pheno A is still moving fast. That's probably the first thing I notice this week. She's not sitting around waiting for anybody. She's continuing to develop. Continuing to stack. Continuing to build. And continuing to become more and more substantial. She's got that beautiful combination of structure and flower development that makes her so interesting to follow. Every week... something seems a little more developed. A little fuller. A little heavier. A little more defined. And that's what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. Not whether she can build. We already know she can. We're watching how far she decides to take it. 😂🦄🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING NOW ──────────────────────── At this stage of the run, the flowers are really starting to tell the story. The plant has done most of the structural work. The framework is established. The branches are established. The flowering sites are established. And now the flowers are becoming the main characters. 🌸🌸🌸 They're building. They're stacking. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial throughout the plant. And that's what I love about this stage. You can look at the plant and see the work that has already been done. Now we're simply watching the results develop. It's almost like watching a painting dry... except this painting keeps getting more beautiful every week. 😂🦄🎨 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ SHE'S GETTING HEAVIER ──────────────────────── This girl is not just flowering... she's carrying some serious flower. 😂🌿 The structures are becoming increasingly substantial, and you can see that she's putting more and more of herself into those flowers. She's becoming a heavier plant. And that's another reason I'm not interested in constantly interfering with her. She's doing beautifully. She's growing. She's developing. She's carrying her flowers. She's showing us what this phenotype wants to become. So... why mess with it? At this point, my job is mostly to make sure she gets what she asks for... and then get out of her way. 😂 She's got this. ──────────────────────── 👀 THE GROWER IS JUST WATCHING THE SHOW ──────────────────────── This is probably the funniest part of this stage of the grow. I've spent so much time throughout this adventure doing things. Training. Tucking. Adjusting. Moving. Checking. Photographing. Watching. Changing. And now... the plants are basically saying: "Thanks for all that. We'll take it from here." 😂🌿 And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. The work has been done. Now we watch the show roll out. The plant is growing. The flowers are developing. The genetics are expressing themselves. And all I need to do is remain present enough to respond when she asks for something. That's it. Provide. Observe. Assist. And enjoy. ──────────────────────── 🦄 THE UNICORN STILL HAS HER PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── I really like how recognizable this phenotype has become. When we first started this journey, we didn't know exactly what Frosted Guava Pheno A was going to show us. Now? I think we're getting a pretty clear picture. She's fast. She's beautiful. She's heavy. She's structurally interesting. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing things in her own way. She's definitely earned the little unicorn nickname. 😂🦄 And the more she develops... the more appropriate it becomes. There's something about her flower formation that keeps catching my eye. She's not just another flowering plant in the room. She's Frosted Guava. And she's becoming a very interesting example of what this genetic expression can look like in our environment. ──────────────────────── 💚 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. ──────────────────────── And once again... we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional philosophy. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve completely different stories. That's the magic. The room doesn't tell them exactly how to grow. It gives them the opportunity. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno A has clearly decided that she's going to make the most of that opportunity. She's growing fast. She's stacking. She's becoming heavy. She's developing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌿🦄💚 ──────────────────────── 💡 THE PHOTONS ARE STILL FLYING ──────────────────────── The lighting setup remains part of the same upgraded environment we've been running throughout the room. Those additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still helping expand our lighting capability. We're not simply throwing maximum power at the plants. We're controlling the output and providing the room with the photons it needs. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with natural variation depending on plant height and position. And Frosted Guava is clearly making use of that artificial sun. 😂☀️🦄 She's taking those photons... and turning them into flowers. Lots of flowers. That's the beauty of it. We provide the sun. She decides what to do with it. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE LIGHT DOESN'T MEAN MORE WORK ──────────────────────── One thing I really like about the lighting upgrade is that it doesn't mean we have to constantly change what we're doing. The capability is there. The control is there. And now we simply watch how the plants respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need us standing beside her saying: "Come on, girl!" 😂 She's already moving. She's already doing it. She's already developing. So... let her. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN ──────────────────────── And now we're entering another little transition in the room. The nutritional program is beginning to decrease. Nothing dramatic. Nothing unusual. Just the normal progression of the run. We've been feeding the plants through their development, and now we're starting to bring that nutrition down as part of the next stage of the journey. For me, this is another sign that the grow is slowly moving from: "Build." toward: "Finish." We're not there yet. But we're getting closer to that part of the story where the grower becomes less concerned with building new structure... and more interested in watching the plants complete what they've already built. And Frosted Guava has certainly built something worth watching. 🌸🦄 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE BIG WORK IS DONE ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest message I want to leave in this week's report. The work is done. At least... the big work. 😂 We've established the plants. We've created the structure. We've managed the room. We've made our adjustments. We've provided the lighting. We've provided the nutrition. We've watched the plants develop. Now? We're mostly observing. Because you reach a point in every grow where trying to constantly "do something" can become more of a distraction than a benefit. The plant has a job. The plant is doing it. Our job is to make sure she has what she needs... and not get in the way. And Frosted Guava? She's doing her job beautifully. ──────────────────────── 👑 GIVE HER WHAT SHE ASKS FOR ──────────────────────── So that's basically where I am with this girl now. I'm not trying to tell her what to do. I'm listening. 😂 If she asks for support... we support. If she needs something... we respond. If something needs adjusting... we adjust. Otherwise? I leave her alone. Because she's showing me that she knows what she's doing. She's growing. She's stacking. She's getting heavier. She's developing. And she's doing it without needing me to constantly interfere. That's a pretty good relationship between grower and plant. 🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 WATCHING THE SHOW ROLL OUT ──────────────────────── There is something incredibly satisfying about this part of a grow. You reach the point where the major decisions have already been made. And suddenly... you get to sit back and watch. The flowers develop. The plant matures. The colours evolve. The resin continues to develop. The structure becomes more pronounced. And eventually... we arrive at harvest. But we're not rushing there. We're still watching. Still documenting. Still learning. Still enjoying the process. And Frosted Guava is giving us a beautiful show to watch. 🦄🌸🎭 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROSTED PART OF FROSTED GUAVA ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't forget the frost. 😂❄️🦄 The flowers continue to carry that beautiful resinous character that made the name Frosted Guava feel so appropriate. The closer you look... the more detail you find. The trichomes. The pistils. The flower structure. The textures. The little details that make each cola its own little landscape. This is another reason I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees: "Beautiful plant." The camera says: "Wait... come closer." 😂📸 And then suddenly you're lost in the details. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA IS DOCUMENTING THE TRANSITION ──────────────────────── This is also where the weekly photographs become particularly valuable. Because we're now moving through a transition. The flowers are more developed. The plant is heavier. The structure is established. And we're beginning to see the plant move toward the next chapter. One week from now... there will be changes. Another week... more changes. And eventually... we'll look back at these photographs and realize just how much happened in between. That's why I love these diaries. We're not just showing the finished product. We're showing the journey. And Frosted Guava has given us a very interesting journey. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GROWER'S ROLE HAS CHANGED ──────────────────────── Earlier in the run: "Okay, what do we need to do?" Now: "Okay... what does she need?" 😂 That's a big difference. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant already exists. We're no longer trying to establish her structure. It's already there. We're no longer trying to convince her to flower. She's flowering everywhere. Now... we're simply supporting the process. And honestly? I really enjoy this part. Because it gives you time to appreciate what you've created. Or... more accurately... what the plant created. 😂🌿 We just helped build the stage. She put on the performance. ──────────────────────── 🦄 STILL MOVING FAST ──────────────────────── And despite everything becoming more mature... she's still moving. That's what surprises me. She's not slowing down into some quiet little corner. She's continuing to develop. She's continuing to gain presence. She's continuing to stack. She's continuing to become more substantial. And I really like the pace she's chosen. She's got momentum. And we're simply letting that momentum carry her forward. No forcing. No rushing. No unnecessary changes. Just... let her go. 🦄🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, my questions are becoming much simpler. 🌸 How much more will she build? ⚖️ How much more weight will those flowers gain? ❄️ How much more frost will develop? 🎨 How will her colours continue to evolve? 🦄 And how will this little unicorn look when she finally decides she's finished? Those are the interesting questions now. Not: "Can she do it?" She already is. Now we're simply watching how far she takes it. ──────────────────────── 💚 NO NEED TO FORCE THE ENDING ──────────────────────── And that's something I want to keep reminding myself of. We're getting closer. But we're not going to force an ending. The plant will tell us. The flowers will tell us. The development will tell us. Until then... we watch. We maintain. We provide what she asks for. And we enjoy the ride. Because the harvest work will come later. And when it does... we'll have plenty of work waiting for us. 😂✂️ But that's another chapter. For now? We're still growing. ──────────────────────── 🦄 LET THE LITTLE UNICORN SHINE ──────────────────────── So... Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno A. Still beautiful. Still moving. Still stacking. Still getting heavy. Still developing. Still doing exactly what she wants. 😂🦄💚 The big work is done. The room is established. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The nutrition is beginning its gradual transition. And now... we watch the show roll out. I don't need to constantly touch her. I don't need to constantly change something. I don't need to force her into a particular shape. I just need to be there. Observe. Respond. Support. And appreciate. Because this girl is putting on a beautiful show. 🌸🦄✨ And I absolutely want to see how the next chapter unfolds. ──────────────────────── 🔮 THE NEXT CHAPTER ──────────────────────── We're getting closer to the part of the adventure where the scissors eventually come out. 😂✂️ But not yet. For now... we're still watching the flowers develop. We're still watching the plant mature. We're still watching the colours. We're still watching the resin. We're still watching the little unicorn do whatever the hell she wants. 😂🦄 And honestly? I'm in no hurry. Let's let her finish her story. Then... we'll deal with the harvest. But that's future us's problem. 😂 Right now... present us is just enjoying the show. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful expression from Frosted Guava. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Frosted Guava? You're still doing exactly what I hoped you would do... which is absolutely nothing like what I expected. 😂🦄 You're moving fast. You're building. You're stacking. You're getting heavy. You're becoming more beautiful every week. And now we're simply watching you take everything you've built toward the next chapter. The big work is done. The grower is mostly standing here with the camera. 😂📸 The plant is doing the work. So... let her shine. Let her stack. Let her keep moving. Let her finish what she started. And when the time comes... we'll pick up the scissors and start the next adventure. But for now? I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. 🦄🌸💚🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the nutrition slowly starts stepping back, and our little unicorn keeps doing exactly what she wants. 😂🦄🌿 The work is done. Now... we watch the magic happen. Let her shine.
