Week 4 (2/07/22 - 2/13/22) Moved the ladies into the tent and set up Scrog Net

🌱 Folder 10A | Guava Auto Week 2 – Compact Beauty, Unlimited Potential Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where every plant tells its own story. This diary follows Frosted Guava Auto 10A, one of the most compact ladies in the room and, without question, one of the most beautifully structured plants we’ve seen so far. Growing under exactly the same environmental conditions as every other cultivar in this project allows us to appreciate something fascinating: genetics truly have their own personalities. While some plants race upwards searching for the light, Guava has chosen a completely different strategy. She builds. Every node arrives tightly stacked. Every branch develops with purpose. Every new leaf seems larger than the last. Rather than stretching, she is constructing the foundation of what promises to become an incredibly dense canopy. Sometimes the strongest plants aren’t the tallest ones. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions As with every plant inside the 8×8 Adventure, Guava Auto benefits from a carefully controlled environment designed to provide consistency throughout every stage of development. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Maintaining identical conditions across the entire room allows each phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern without environmental variables influencing the comparison. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program This week Guava continued receiving the complete Plagron Terra nutrition program. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The emphasis remains on supporting vigorous root expansion while encouraging steady vegetative growth without forcing excessive vertical stretch. Healthy roots build healthy harvests. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This has been one of my favourite plants to watch this week. From the very beginning she displayed extremely tight internodal spacing, giving her a naturally compact appearance. Instead of reaching upward, she concentrated on strengthening her central stem while producing large, healthy fan leaves that quickly shaded the lower growth. That was the perfect opportunity to introduce gentle leaf tucking together with a small amount of low-stress training. The transformation over only a few days was remarkable. Branches that had previously been hidden beneath the canopy suddenly found the light. The centre of the plant opened beautifully. Airflow improved. Future flowering sites became visible almost immediately. By the final photographs of the week, Guava looked like an entirely different plant. Still compact—but now balanced, open and full of potential. Her architecture is becoming exactly what you hope to see before the transition into flowering. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress One of the biggest advantages of documenting these plants individually is seeing how small adjustments influence their development. This week wasn’t about bending the plant dramatically. It was about working with her natural shape. A few carefully positioned leaves were tucked away. The canopy opened naturally. The lower branches responded almost immediately by accelerating their growth toward the light. Nothing aggressive. Nothing forced. Just gentle guidance allowing the plant to express its own structure. Sometimes the simplest techniques produce the biggest improvements. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos The camera really tells the story this week. Early images highlight a beautifully thick central stem with exceptionally short internodal spacing—a strong indication of healthy growth and excellent light intensity. As the week progresses, the overhead shots begin revealing something even more exciting: symmetry. Every branch appears evenly distributed around the main stem, while the large fan leaves frame the developing centre almost perfectly. The close-up photographs of the canopy are especially rewarding. Hidden shoots are beginning to emerge from every node, quietly preparing to become future flowering branches. It’s one of those weeks where growth isn’t measured by height. It’s measured by potential. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead The coming week should be very exciting for Guava Auto. With the canopy now opened through gentle LST and leaf tucking, I expect the secondary branches to accelerate rapidly and begin competing with the main stem. Rather than producing one dominant leader, she already hints at becoming a naturally bushy plant capable of supporting multiple flowering sites across an even canopy. If she continues developing at this pace, she may become one of the most productive compact plants in the entire room. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She’s quietly preparing to become one of the fullest. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you for taking the time to follow another chapter of this adventure.

Solid little plants, I cant tell if they are hungry or the PH issue from earlier is just showing - but they were over watered, so its probably that. Late on this diary but too early for the next week ? not that anyone reads it

Not much to report, a little defoliation covering any bud sights, havent started flushing just yet. Had some humidity spikes because of electricity going out (load shedding) but seem to be okay😇

She's awesome. So bushy and strong - I can't belive it 😻 No wonder this strain won so many prices in the past...Love it! It's one of my favorites.

Ai Gude Growmies, Gorilla Punch Auto: 8.6 - 25cm 15.6 - 30,5cm +5,5cm Mimosa Cake Auto: 8.6 - 30cm 15.6 - 46,5cm +16,5cm Alter Tobi Auto: 8.6 - 29cm 15.6 - 48cm +19cm Leider mit 1 tag Verspätung bei mir haben wie bei den Pflanzen der Hitze Stress zugeschlagen. Habe zum ersten Mal Canna Ryzotronic als blattspray gegen hitzestress benutzt und wie ich finde haben sie die Temperaturen um die 30C° gut weggesteckt. Ich Wechsel sobald des die Temperaturen zulassen auf 80% Leistung oder 60% Leistung aber immer so das im Zelt nie mehr wie 28C° herrschen. DLI bei 80%= 40-42 DLI bei 60%= 28-32 Seit 1 Woche ist das deep red 660nm adlite an. Ebenfalls läuft eine extra Zuluft mit 230-280m³ extra Zuluft die ich aus dem Fenster hänge oder in einen anderen Raum.

Continue Daily low stress training. Cut all nutrients in half. Added another led light. Cutting back lights to 18 hours. Started to defoliate a small amount(day 30) New growth seems pretty healthy. Few leaves have nutrient burns but not all of them. Checked ph and it was a little high so I got it down to 5.75. Adding 1/2 gallon of distilled water a day to prevent further burn. Day 33 She starting to show some preflower so I did a water change added 1ml of each nutrients (added koolbloom)execpt armor si and hydroguard 1/2 ml each. PPM 325 PH5.8 Humidity 50% Temp 80F Week summary. A few issues with nutrient burn but I think I have found the sweet spot 300PPM. Vegetative growth has slowed down this week and started preflower. She's drinking about a gallon of water a day. I'm a little worried about the height so I might switch to 12/12 lighting. (Small tent height)

Hi again I'm into the last couple weeks of nutrients and then the final part ripen. Before I then flush them 14days . They are smelling amazing fruits and cream all in the grow room its lovely... Back next week my growmies...

Abrimos aun mas la penetracion de luz, abriendo las ramas y cortando unas hojas que cubrían nuevos brotes de flores. Vamos como viento en popa ⚡

Now we've reached day 41 The situation here is starting to get really very interesting, the flowers are starting to swell and well too, the plant is taking a full flower shape and there is also a super scent. The plant is growing, we have started giving fertilizers for flowering again to avoid going into shortage. We wait to see the flowers and you will see...

So after 9 Weeks of Veg we are finaly in Bloom Modus Someone broke the mainstream last night

gonna feed them twice and start flushing ;)

This week wasn't as bad as last week 😊 Nights were cold 😰, but not to much rain 😿 and a few hours of sun 😍 Temperatures in the greenhouse were medium : during the day 20°C 💀; min temp 3.5°C ; max temp 31,7°C 😤 Cookies Gelato has turned completely purple 👍👍👍 I defoliated the plants 😙 and had to remove budrot (especially in the Cookies Gelatoes)😨 I took the prettiest Cookies Gelato outside for a photo session in my garden 😍 Probably these will be the last pictures of the plans, before harvesting ! 👍😄

Il titolo lo potrei definire ( meravigliose creature) . Cmq siamo alla quarta settimana è tutto va alla grande, devo dire che per me che vengo dall’idroponica, lavorare con la terra è davvero semplice. Domanda per gli esperti; come vi sembra questa coltura? Devo sistemare qualcosa?

DFIe Buds entwickeln sich sehr gut :) diese Woche war relativ enbtspannt da ich hauptsächlich nur Gießen musste und das ein oder andere Sonnensegel entfernt habe damit ausreichend licht auf alle Buds fällt allerdings bin ich damit leider noch nicht fertig :)

Yeah buddy
