------------------------- | BLUEBERRY HARVEST | ------------------------- After two sunny days it is harvest time !! - Finally, 16 days of flush - At first thought, the trimming would be easier compared to my previous plants, but when removing more leaves, more buds appearing too hahaha so it took like 4 hours or more..It is not the most accuurate trimming but i had not much time that day, i removed all the leaves and branches after weighting it all.. Like i said on the last post, im harvesting having in mind my bud preferences (the later the better), weather, humidity and sunlight, so the first of the cloudy/rainy days she was chopped in the moring, attending the principle of thc regeneration at night.. Got to say that, i wasnt expecting such production (8 days until it was well dried), this plant started as the season saver because the Cheese started to flower in march, revegged etc.. and i have been rewarded with this BB, a true genetic portent !! If i could, i would keep her as mother forever ^^ The quality is awesome, she looks more like a WW talking about that coat of thc.. Flavour without proper cure, is deep earthy at first, transitioning to a fruity, sweet one, it is a pleasure to smoke, delicious sweet aftertaste.. Maybe, this is the last year with this awesome climate, because im planning to leave Spain.. Thank you for follow and check !!! I hope you liked the diary :) Song of the week : Radiohead - Codex Good Vibes GrowDiaries !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 000000000000

New weekly video uploads and more! See what’s happening in the Cabbage Patch! Day 14 Flower! Plants looking very h@ppy. Can’t wait to get in there and give it’s last defoliation. Day 16 - She’s stacking up nice! Just need to water when dry. She’s on cruise control! Day 20 - Defoliation video for ya! Cheers 🍻

We are an update away from the results. Both control plants chopped by way of spin trimmer. Non defo has the biggest cola, defo plant has the most mains and seems a bit heavier when wet. Results in a week or so Sbg.com

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . ++ nur probleme mit der Zeitrafferkamera . Sorry für die Schrägen und halben Aufnahmen . Vielleicht schaff ich beim nächsten Grow da abhilfe zu leisten. Day 50: Wachstumstillstand bei 68cm . Day 51: + Höhe : 68cm + 2 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Greenhouse Feeding BioEnhancer als PH+ Day 52: Kleine Entlaubung . Test MAX Licht : Main-Cola PPFD 1000 (16h) , sekundär Colas PPFD 750 (16h). Das wird mächtige Mangelerscheinungen geben . LED und Cal-Mag Probleme sind ja ein Standard Problem :)) Schauen wir mal was passiert bei so einer Autoflower. Day 53: + Höhe : 68cm + 1.5 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Canna PH+ + + PH 5.81 Wegen Wetter Test verschiebung um ein paar Tage . Es wird hier einfach zu heiss im Zelt. Day 54: Weltuntergangsstimmung für meine Zoe . Dank des Super Wetters hab ich hier 77%-80% Luftfeuchtigkeit (draussen ist es noch höher ) und es wird auch noch warm . Ergo, schon gestern hat meine Pflanze extreme Probleme mit der Wurzeltemperatur bekommen und hat die Blätter hängen lassen . Ich hab das Licht runtergeschraubt und Abluft extrem erhöht. Ventilation direkt in die Pflanze sonst gibts Schimmel . Aber hilft halt nicht wirklich . Luftentfeuchter läuft auf Dauerschaltung und produziert dann auch noch Wärme, die ich überhaupt nicht gebrauchen kann bei den Temperaturen draussen lol. Ein Teufelskreis :(((((( Day 55: + 1.75 Liter Flaschenwasser + + Dünger für Blühte + + + Canna Terrar Flores (Achtung wirkt wie PH-) + + + Canna Boost + + + Cannazym + + + Canna PH+ + + PH 5.88 Draussen sind 31 Grad , ich hab den ganzen Growroom + Vorraum (meine Wohnung ) über Nacht runtergekühlt so weit es ging (23°C und 22°C). Das Licht noch weiter reduziert dafür näher an die Planze gemacht. Das ist wirklich das mindeste was noch geht. Liegt ca bei PPFD 600 an der Spitze . Wenigstens ist hier die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Rahmen , zwar immer noch zuviel (67% im Zelt) aber besser so als das hier die Hitze in die Höhe schießt . Nach 12h Licht (19:00 Uhr) wird dann wieder aufgedreht und die letzen Stunden mit mehr intensität nachgeholt was nachzuholen geht , denn dann gehen hier erst wieder die Temperaturen runter . Day 56: Läuft wie gestern ab 19:00 wurde das Licht aufgedreht und DLI nachgeholt .

After I repotted the plants, they grew really well and healthily for 12 days. Now they are showing iron deficiency again... I already had the problem before repotting. The pH value of the earth has fallen again to 4.8 to 5.7. This time I used biodegradable braids to germinate. I believe that this is the reason for the PH fluctuations in the soil. Every time I water I measure the PH and adjust it to 6 - 6.5. Nevertheless, the PH value drops back to 4 to 5. I'm trying to correct the problem. I also work with neemoil because I can't get rid of the trips

Your Opinion?

Week 12 (4/04/22 - 4/10/22)

March 17, Day 76: As written I collected the last three plants. At the moment I got a partial of 224 grams from the first three plants and I think of doubling with the last three. Among the latter is the plant with the largest bud which obviously becomes my favorite. This time I managed to take photographs of the plants before cutting them. With these last three plants I got the most productive plant, the one with the largest bud and the one with the longest bud 😉 For a final report on this strain: The Gorilla by RQS is an excellent strain for anyone who loves a high THC content and I particularly recommend it to growers who pass for the first time from photoiperiods to autoflowering. You will grow very large and very productive plants very similar to photoperiodic ones. This strain branches out a lot and must be defoliated and de-branched. You can grow it well with the SCROG technique, but if like me you have no space problems you can also use the Sea Of Green technique. In conclusion I want to thank all the growers who have followed this my first diary to which I have a happy growth! A big thanks also to GrowDiaries and to the whole team for having created the best social network dedicated to the world of growers 👏💪😉 March 24 Final Report: Hi growers, with this last post I'm going to close my first diary. First I have to say that I am very satisfied with the total harvest, from the last three plants I got 369 grams which added to the 224 of the previous harvest make a total of 593 grams. I started this diary with 8 Gorillas and 2 Cheese. 6 Gorillas completed their cycle in the same time frame, the 2 remaining gorillas showed a photoperiodic genetic predominance, one of them is in an advanced flowering phase while the last one after three months still shows only a few pistils. I'll probably kill her, and move on by putting new seeds in the soil. Unfortunately, where I live is illegal to grow marijuana, otherwise I would have simply moved outdoors, but I can't and must be ruthless. Regarding the two cheeses there is not much left at the end of their cycle and I started to give only water to one of the two plants. Good and happy growth to all! 😜

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 8 | Small Pot, Big Appetite Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Sometimes a phenotype doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room to become one of the most interesting. And this little lady is becoming exactly that. Last week I was already talking about how difficult it was becoming to believe that this plant was growing in only 11 litres of soil. Well... This week she's making that even harder to believe. She is lush. She is vigorous. She is flowering beautifully. And she's drinking and feeding like she has absolutely no idea that she's supposed to be the girl living in the smallest pot in the room. 😂 So this week, I think Pheno B deserves the spotlight. Let's talk about her. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If you're joining this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Every plant in this room has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from seed germination. There is no traditional vegetative period. Instead, every phenotype has been given the same environment and allowed to reveal its natural architecture from the beginning. That makes comparisons incredibly interesting. Same room. Same light schedule. Same environmental conditions. Same general feeding strategy. Same grower. But completely different personalities. And Pheno B has developed into one of the most fascinating examples of that genetic individuality. ? The Smallest Pot in the Room There are 12 different genetics growing together in this room. Almost all of them are sitting comfortably in 15-litre pots. Pheno B? She's the exception. She's growing in only 11 litres of soil. Originally, this was simply another little experiment. I wanted to see how far I could push a smaller root volume while maintaining proper nutrition and environmental control. And honestly... She's making me rethink some assumptions. Because the limitation I'm seeing isn't that she's struggling. It's actually the opposite. She's drinking like crazy. Her smaller substrate volume means I have to pay much closer attention to moisture levels and irrigation frequency. There are times when she needs watering twice in the same day because she's drying back so quickly. That tells me something important. She's not behaving like a plant sitting in a small container waiting for the next irrigation. She's behaving more like a plant with a very active root system that is continuously demanding water and nutrients. And that's exactly why having proper substrate monitoring becomes so valuable. 📡 Watching the Root Zone in Real Time This is where the TrolMaster WCS-2 substrate sensor has become one of my favourite tools for this particular experiment. Instead of guessing what's happening inside the pot, I can actually monitor the root-zone conditions. Moisture. Temperature. And substrate EC. At the moment, the substrate EC is reading approximately: 0.91 mS/cm And that number is fascinating considering the strength of the irrigation. I'm feeding around 2.0 EC, yet the substrate is sitting considerably lower. To me, that's a very interesting indication of how actively this plant is taking up what I'm giving her. She's not simply sitting there accumulating nutrients. She's using them. And when I look at the plant itself... It makes perfect sense. 🌿 A Plant With a Big Appetite This phenotype is absolutely lush. The foliage is vibrant and vigorous, the structure remains beautifully balanced, and the plant continues pushing new flowering growth throughout the canopy. There is no obvious sign that the smaller container is holding her back. In fact, one of the biggest challenges I'm having with this plant is simply keeping up with her demand for water. That's quite a funny problem to have when your experiment was supposed to test whether a smaller pot might become the limiting factor. Instead, Pheno B seems to be saying: "Give me more." 😂 And I'm listening. 🌸 Flower Development Is Moving Forward The flowering sites are continuing to develop beautifully. The white pistils remain abundant across the plant, and the developing flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The structure is particularly pleasing to look at. She has enough spacing between the branches to maintain airflow and light penetration, while still producing a very respectable number of flowering sites. The central growth remains strong, but the secondary branches aren't being left behind. That's something I really appreciate about this phenotype. She doesn't look like she's trying to become one giant cola. Instead, she's building a balanced architecture where the entire plant contributes. And now that we're moving deeper into flower, that structure should become increasingly interesting as the flowers begin to swell. ✂️ Still No Defoliation And yes... I still haven't defoliated her. And I'm completely comfortable with that decision. Looking at the plant, I simply don't feel she needs it yet. The foliage is healthy. The plant is actively flowering. The canopy isn't showing signs that demand an aggressive intervention. And perhaps most importantly, I don't want to remove healthy leaves simply because we're accustomed to seeing defoliation performed at a particular stage of flower. Every plant gets evaluated individually. Pheno B is telling me that she still wants those leaves. So for now... She keeps them. A little leaf positioning when necessary is enough. I'm much more interested in watching how she naturally manages her canopy than forcing her into a particular shape. Sometimes the best training technique is knowing when not to train. 💧 Feeding Strategy The nutritional program continues supporting this extremely hungry phenotype. Current feeding includes: Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required for pH adjustment The irrigation is running at approximately 2.0 EC, while the substrate sensor is currently showing around 0.91 mS/cm. And once again... She's eating. A lot. That's probably one of the most interesting characteristics of this phenotype so far. She may be the smallest pot in the room, but she's certainly not the smallest appetite. 💡 Light, Environment & Root Zone The environmental conditions remain stable, which is exactly what I want at this stage. Current conditions: 🌱 Flowering: Week 8 📏 Height: 135 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ Substrate EC: 0.91 mS/cm 🌡️ Root-zone temperature: 21°C 💧 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌫️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 11 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant per 24h, with frequency adjusted according to substrate demand 💡 Under-canopy lighting: Lumiflora 📡 Substrate monitoring: TrolMaster WCS-2 The most important part of this week's environmental story isn't necessarily a single number. It's consistency. And that consistency gives the plant the freedom to express what she's capable of genetically. 🌿 The Personality of Pheno B Every phenotype eventually develops a personality. And I think I finally know how I would describe this one. She's the quiet overachiever. She wasn't the phenotype that immediately demanded attention. She wasn't the biggest. She wasn't the fastest to announce herself. She simply kept growing. Kept building. Kept flowering. And now we're reaching the point where she's becoming impossible to ignore. The funny thing is that her biggest disadvantage on paper — the 11-litre pot — has actually become one of the most interesting things about her. Because instead of showing weakness... She's showing efficiency. 📸 This Week's Gallery Looking through this week's photographs, the first thing that stands out is just how healthy the plant looks. The leaves are beautifully developed, with strong colour and excellent structure. The macro photographs reveal flowering sites covered in fresh white pistils, with the developing flowers beginning to take shape. The full-plant photograph tells another part of the story. She's tall. She's balanced. She's branching beautifully. And when you remember that this plant is growing in only 11 litres while her sisters are sitting in 15-litre containers... It's genuinely impressive. The close-up photographs also show why I haven't felt the need to defoliate her. There is still plenty of healthy foliage contributing to the plant's energy production. For now, I'm happy to let her keep doing what she's doing. 🔬 One Small Pot, One Interesting Experiment This is becoming one of those experiments that I didn't expect to become so educational. We often associate larger containers with greater potential. And there's certainly good reason for that. More root volume can provide more buffering capacity, more available water and more room for root development. But this plant is reminding me that container size is only one part of the equation. Genetics matter. Root health matters. Irrigation strategy matters. Nutrition matters. Environment matters. And perhaps most importantly... The plant itself matters. A phenotype with an efficient, highly active root system can behave very differently from another plant sitting beside it in the exact same room. That's why I love phenotype hunting. You think you're running an experiment on one thing... And the plants teach you about five other things along the way. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be very exciting. We're entering the part of the cycle where the structure we've been watching develop should begin transforming into much more substantial flowers. I'll continue monitoring the substrate closely because this little 11-litre container is clearly demanding more attention than her sisters. The WCS-2 will remain an important part of that process. I'm particularly interested in continuing to watch the relationship between: irrigation EC → substrate EC → moisture depletion → plant response. And of course... I'm still not planning to defoliate simply because the calendar says I should. If she continues looking this good, I'll continue letting her tell me what she needs. 💚 Final Thoughts Pheno B started this adventure as the smaller sister. The quieter one. The phenotype living in the pot that was supposed to become the limiting factor. Eight weeks later... She's standing 135 cm tall, flowering beautifully, drinking aggressively, consuming nutrients at a serious rate, and maintaining a canopy that is still lush and healthy. She's making me water more. She's making me monitor more. She's making me pay attention. And she's making this experiment much more interesting than I expected. Sometimes the plant you expect the least from becomes the one that teaches you the most. And this little lady? She's definitely teaching me. Small pot. Big appetite. Beautiful structure. And absolutely no intention of playing small. Let's see where she takes us next. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure.

June 30, 2019 at 2am / Day 23: 4.5" maximum height. Light LST and I defoliated 2 inner leaves for light penetration below. Light moved to 24" above canopy. I moved it up a bit higher than usual to promote vertical growth and for stretch across the 5 gallon pot. I have been keeping the light between 12 and 18 inches, and hope to be back at those heights soon. Watered with PH 6.07. Second runoff PH 6.44. I water the whole 5 gallon pot with a little more than 1 liter every 2 days. July 1, 2019 at 3pm / Day 24: Nice vertical growth at 5" maximum height prior to LST. Breezing through LST and light pruning of inner leaves. Hard to notice if there are delays from the stress. I'd say that there are and it is minimal. The exposure to stress and extra light may outweigh the stress. She seems really strong and happy. lol 9:00 pm more LST. July 2 at 1am / Day 25: Gone into preflower. Maximum height 6". Light moved back down to 14" above canopy. Watered with PH 6.1. Second runoff at PH 6.42. Watering is now 1L every day to day and half max. 2pm: Light moved to 18", Light LST at 3:30pm. 6pm: Light moved back to 14" at night and 18" in the day. July 3 at 3pm / Day 26: After minimal LST maximum height at 5.75". 6" at 10 pm. July 4 at Day 27: Defoliated and mixed in a very teeny teeny, tiny sprinkle of Gaia Green 4-4-4 slow release nutes and watered my 3 plants. A little less than my fingertips could hold of the dry mix nutes. Mixture at PH 6.1.

Entramos la semana con un lavado de raíces ya que cuando se ha revisado la EC estaba en 3 y la hemos bajado a 1,6. Quitados algunas hojas feas y dándole recuperación a la sobrefertilizacion. Esperemos que se recupere bien

16cm vertical growth this week, but she's bushed out a lot.

📆 Week 15, 12-18 August 2024 12-18 Aug - Observed and let the plant grow. 13 Aug - Turned lights down to 50% power. 📑 It’s been another week and no signs of slowing down. Pablo continues to grow! Her sativa genetics are really showing. I’ve turned the light power down to 50% hoping this will help to mature the plant. It is looking like another good week of flower will be appropriate here. Lets see just how big she can get. 🍶 14 Aug nutrient solution changed 🍽️ 14 Aug feeding schedule updated 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 1.0 at 74 degree F 🔆 Light power at 50%, DLI 35 canopy coverage at 12hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.
