First 7 days of the Strawberry Gorilla from Fastbuds. She was germination in glass of water than move to cotton and in 2 days it had more than an inch of root so i moved to her home 12 liters pot with biobizz,coco peat and perlite for the vegitation she will have the Marshydro Ts 600 in 80 x80 grow tent.

Day 77 - Was her last day. To be truthful she wasn't 100% ready going on the trichomes but needs must and the other photoperiod girls need their space now. It's crazy how my own personal ability has changed over the years. Blackberry is a strain I've grown every 12 months roughly, GrowDiaries is a fab place to track your learning. Looking back through my old grows I must have been mad to think they were ready to harvest! Way too early! Maybe that's the biggest thing I've learned - patience. Don't be too eager to chop, there is a lot to be gained extending by 2 or 3 weeks... Anyway, back to this girl. She has been chopped and trimmed. Have a look thru the pics, if you see a piece of black tape on the stem the apex bud on that branch was BACKBUILT. I have to say the technique REALLY does work. Those buds look fatter and denser than the others that have been left natural. It seems effective to be done about halfway through flowering, but no later than 3/4 of the way. FINAL UPDATE: So after 2 weeks in the drying net she weighed out to 87.81g. Not a great deal but she was compromised by the photoperiod plants she shared the tent with. It wasn't the full purple phenotype like I had twice before but still she looks pretty.

Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green realm! It's time to unravel the verdant tapestry in this Week 2 Flower Report for our reigning queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. The air in the grow room is humming with the promise of flourishing buds, and the journey through the flowering phase has been nothing short of sublime. As Week 2 of flowering unfolded, I found myself marveling at the sheer perfection of Jealousy's progress. She's become the embodiment of botanical grace, with buds forming and branches reaching for the heavens. It's like witnessing a botanical ballet where every move is executed with precision and elegance. Now, in the pursuit of perfection, a decision was made to embark on a defoliation expedition. The goal? To channel Jealousy's energy into the areas that truly matter, ensuring that each bud site receives the spotlight it deserves. This meticulous pruning is like sculpting a masterpiece, with each leaf strategically removed to unveil the hidden beauty beneath. And why stop at perfection when we can plan for the future? As an insurance policy for the green kingdom, a few extra cuts were taken. It's like stashing away green treasures, ready to sprout new life if the need arises. These clones are not just cuttings; they are the potential guardians of our botanical legacy. Jealousy, our green empress, took the defoliation with a regal poise. She's a resilient beauty, adapting to the changes with the composure of a true queen. The grow room is now a stage, and Jealousy is the star, radiating with the promise of a bountiful harvest. As we navigate the second week of flowering, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron, the unsung heroes of our green odyssey. Their contributions are the foundation upon which our botanical dreams are built. A standing ovation to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and collective wisdom create a vibrant tapestry of knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your buds blossom abundantly, and may the fragrance of success linger in the air. Here's to a week of defoliation finesse, green elegance, and the anticipation of a harvest fit for royalty. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness.

Edit: due to unforeseen circumstances the harvest was delayed by 5 days. I ended up harvesting them at day 60 of flower. I’ve added an extra video of what they looked like just before I cut them down 😸 It’s been a fairly smooth run 😸 The clones grew as expected, this is the third time I’ve grown this particular pheno. She’s got a killer smell straight up gassy sherb and a taste that leaves you wanting more. The buds themselves are rock solid to the touch and super greasy. She’s not the frostiest plant I’ve grown, but she packs a punch! I’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to have a look, comment or like this diary. I hope it’s been helpful in some way 😸 If you want a bit more info on this strain, check out my previous diaries 💁‍♂️ you might find them useful 😸 LIT Farms got some 🔥

Week 25 overall, corresponding to week 3 of flowering for the Pineapple Upside Down. Flowering has now clearly declared itself. Bud sites are visible everywhere, with consistent pom-pom formation across the canopy. Despite being at a relatively early stage of bloom, terpene expression is already strong. Upon opening the tent, a distinct pineapple aroma is noticeable, which is very encouraging for such an early phase. Vegetatively, the plant will not recover its original leaf coloration. This is accepted at this point. However, flower development appears to be on track, and the plant is allocating energy toward reproductive growth rather than foliage recovery. A light defoliation was performed, along with the removal of lower, non-productive flower sites. This cleanup aims to avoid wasting energy on underdeveloped buds and to focus resources on the upper canopy. A fresh flowering nutrient solution was prepared. PK has been introduced lightly, in accordance with the Athena feeding schedule for week 3 of flowering. Electrical conductivity is set around 2.1 EC, with a target pH close to 6.0 to ensure stable nutrient uptake. Light intensity will be increased progressively, with PPFD moving toward approximately 600 to support proper bud development and flower density. Although the foliage remains visually poor, flower formation, structure, and aroma remain the key indicators at this stage. Given the short flowering time of this cultivar (around 45 days), timing is critical, and the next weeks will be decisive. The focus going forward will be on stability, controlled feeding, and optimized light management to extract the best possible outcome from this cycle.

Day 43. One Blackberry is going for the roof. Both late ones are small and have 33 days to flower .... Ridiculous ... That run shouldn't happen. But I have at least 5 okeish plants and hope to push them with Mars SP3000 as extras, plus first wavers will be starting to fall , so more space and light .... Day 44. Two smallest girls should go and are going. I will create second proper grower this year already ! I gave to this guy 5 Alaskan Diesel seeds for this year to try to grow, but only because of time - I can't finish smallest two - so I will give them for my friend as well. One turn out not so bad from those 3 lategoers , so I hope 30 days of flower will be enough for her ... One Strawberry Banana looks like a magazine cover girl ! Day 46. Yesterday I kicked them out and it was frosty night, both went down , some branches froze ... It will be interesting ... Friend said all 5 girls pop out and he has enough, so I had to find quick space for them ... The rest was rearranged in main grow room. Happy Growing !!!

Bene amici growers come potete vedere la fioritura procede senza molti problemi. Ho innaffiato le piante per la prima volta con una soluzione adatta alla fioritura e ora staremo a vedere come pian piano cominceranno a gonfiarsi i nostri amati fiori. Le piante iniziano ad emanare un profumo inebriante, le Durban posion stanno già assumendo un colore violaceo mentre le critical sembrano un po' più in dietro. Vi ringrazio anticipatamente nel caso lasciate un like!!

Week 9, nov 9. the flush on the middle plant didn't seem to do much - the trichomes are barely starting. Most all the plants have shown calmag deficiency. they are getting worse even though I have added calmag throughout the grow. I believe it could be stale pro mix.

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | The Queen Gets Her Spotlight 👑💚 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Some plants quietly do their thing. Some plants surprise you. And then there are phenotypes that seem to walk into the room and say: “You're going to notice me.” Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has been doing exactly that. Last week, I called her The Queen of the Canopy. This week? I think she's earned the spotlight. Standing at an impressive 175 cm, she continues to be one of the giants of this room. She's still stretching, still producing new flowers, and still carrying that incredible lush green appearance that has made her such an interesting phenotype to follow. And this week we made one small intervention. Nothing dramatic. Nothing aggressive. Just enough defoliation to give this beautiful lady a little more room to breathe. And honestly... She looks fantastic. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about discovering how different genetics and phenotypes express themselves when grown side by side under the same conditions. Twelve plants. The same room. The same environment. The same lighting strategy. The same nutrition. The same irrigation. The same daily care. And from the very beginning, these plants have been grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. The idea is simple: Remove as many variables as possible... …and then let genetics tell the story. And believe me, they always do. Some plants stay compact. Some stretch dramatically. Some flower early. Some develop unusual leaf structures. Some become incredibly branchy. And some, like this Amnesia Haze Pheno A, simply decide that 175 cm isn't tall enough yet. 😂🌱 👑 The Queen of the Canopy There is no question anymore. This phenotype is a giant. At 175 cm, Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A continues to dominate the vertical space of the room. But what I love most isn't simply her height. It's the combination of height, structure and vitality. She's not a tall, weak plant desperately reaching for the light. She's tall and strong. Her branches have developed beautifully, her stems have thickened, and she's carrying flowering sites all along her architecture. The plant has that wonderful combination of elegance and strength. And then there's the colour. That deep, healthy green. An incredible amount of foliage. A genuinely lush plant. Looking at her now, it's easy to understand why she needed a little bit of extra space. 🍃 A Little Defoliation — Nothing Extreme This was one of the phenotypes that received some light defoliation this week. And I want to make something very clear: This was not a heavy strip. I wasn't trying to transform the plant into a skeleton. Quite the opposite. She simply had enough foliage that some areas were becoming crowded, so I selectively removed a few leaves where they were creating unnecessary overlap and limiting airflow or access to developing flowers. The objective was simple: Create space without sacrificing the plant's ability to photosynthesize. Healthy fan leaves are incredibly valuable. They're part of the plant's energy-producing system, so I prefer to keep as much healthy foliage as possible when the plant doesn't need intervention. In this case, however, a small amount of selective defoliation made sense. And looking at her now... I think she agrees. 😎 The canopy still looks incredibly lush. The plant hasn't lost her personality. If anything, the flowers are now easier to appreciate. 🌸 Flowers Everywhere And this is where things become really exciting. The flower development is looking beautiful. There are developing flowers distributed throughout the plant, with fresh pistils continuing to emerge and the calyxes gradually building their structure. The flowers are still in that wonderful stage where you can almost watch them changing every few days. More pistils. More calyxes. More resin. More structure. More density. The photographs this week really capture that progression. She's no longer simply a tall plant with flowering sites. She's becoming a flowering machine. And with so many branches carrying flowers from top to bottom, I'm very curious to see how much these sites will swell during the coming weeks. 🌿 Her Quirky Personality Remains One thing I absolutely love about phenotype hunting is that perfection isn't the goal. Individuality is. And this girl certainly has some. Some leaves continue to twist. Others curl in unusual ways. There are leaves that seem to have decided they don't particularly care about following the textbook. 😂 But the plant itself remains vigorous, healthy and productive. That distinction is important. A plant doesn't have to look perfectly symmetrical to be performing beautifully. Sometimes those little quirks are exactly what make a phenotype memorable. And after eight weeks of watching her develop... I can confidently say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has plenty of personality. 💚 An Outstanding Lush Green One of the first things that hits me when looking at this week's photographs is the sheer amount of green. She's lush. She's vigorous. She's full of life. Even after the selective defoliation, there is still an enormous amount of healthy foliage covering the plant. And that's exactly what I want to see at this stage. The leaves are actively supporting the developing flowers while the plant continues transitioning from structural growth toward flower production. The balance between foliage and flowers is becoming particularly interesting now. We're getting enough light penetration to reach deeper areas, while the remaining leaves continue powering the plant. It's a beautiful balance. 💡 Light From Above — And Below The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to make this run particularly interesting. The Future of Grow Black Series LED provides the primary overhead illumination, while the under-canopy lighting gives us another way of distributing usable light through the lower portions of the plant. And with a plant this tall and this heavily branched, that becomes especially interesting. There is a huge difference between the top of this plant and the lower flowering sites. Rather than expecting every flower to receive the same intensity naturally, we're experimenting with additional light distribution. The coming weeks should tell us much more about how those lower flowers respond. And that's one of the things I love about the 8×8 Adventure. We're not just growing plants. We're observing them. 💧 Feeding the Queen She's certainly not behaving like a plant with a small appetite. The current feeding continues with the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Supporting the nutritional demands of active flowering and continued development. 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development during this important stage of the cycle. 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Part of the flowering strategy as we continue supporting plant metabolism and aromatic development. ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Supporting flower development, quality and resin production as the plant progresses through bloom. 💧 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Used for pH adjustment. The current logged solution is sitting around 2 mS/cm, with the nutrient solution at approximately 21°C. The goal remains exactly the same: Don't force her. Give her the environment, nutrition, light and root-zone conditions she needs... …and let the genetics decide what comes next. 🌡️ Stable Conditions The environment continues to remain very consistent. Current conditions: 🌸 Flower Week: 8 📏 Height: 175 cm 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 Solution: ~2 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C 🌿 Pot Size: 15 L 💦 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h 🫧 CO₂: 636 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages of this project. The plants aren't constantly adapting to dramatic changes. They're allowed to focus on what they do best. Grow. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The close-ups show the incredible structure of the flowers and the abundance of fresh pistils. The wider photographs show just how much this girl has developed. And then there are those leaves... The ones that refuse to behave normally. The ones that twist. The ones that curl. The ones that remind you: This is a phenotype. Not a machine. Not a clone of a picture from a catalogue. A living individual expressing its own genetics. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. 🔮 Looking Ahead At Week 8, the big question now becomes: How much more can she build? She's already enormous. She's already heavily branched. She's already carrying flowers throughout the plant. And now we're entering the stage where flower development should become increasingly obvious. I'm expecting the coming weeks to bring: 🌸 More calyx development 🌿 Increasing flower density ✨ Continued resin production 💚 Further maturation of the canopy 🌱 Increasing flower bulk across the branches I'm particularly interested in watching the lower flowering sites. With the additional under-canopy lighting and the small amount of selective defoliation we've performed, we now have a very interesting opportunity to observe how evenly this plant develops from top to bottom. And if her current trajectory continues... Big Mama may have another surprise waiting for us. 👑 Give Her the Spotlight After eight weeks together, I think it's fair to say that Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A has earned her place among the personalities of the 8×8 Adventure. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's quirky. She's incredibly leafy. She's beautifully structured. And she's producing some seriously promising flowers. We didn't need to dramatically change her. We didn't need to force her into a particular shape. A little space. A little guidance. A little light. And plenty of patience. That's all she needed. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply recognize what the plant is already trying to become. And this girl? She's becoming something special. So this week, I'm not calling her just the Queen of the Canopy. I'm giving her the spotlight. Because she truly deserves it. 👑💚 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to comment, ask questions, share experiences and follow these plants week after week. And, as always, a massive thank you to the people helping make this project possible: 🌱 Zamnesia — for the genetics behind this remarkable Amnesia Haze Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the powerful lighting driving this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment these phenotypes are growing in. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and allowing us to explore another dimension of light distribution. 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, learn, share and inspire one another.
