Decided to chop one girl early. If I'm honest I was very worried about the yield, because for the fort half of the flowering it didn't look very promissing but holy cow, just the first plant had 70g on it. I accidentally snapped two main colas in early stage so it would be probably more. However 3 girls are still running for at least a week or two so it looks like I will achieve 200g and probably well over which is awesome. Most importanltly, buds are super dense. Finally! I can't wait to finish with proper flush and curing. Humidity is now at constant 60% and can't really do much about it. Weather outside is also a bit humid, but i'm running 3 fans inside with pretty good extractor fan so hopefully no mould issues this time. I feel like the strain also help a lot. I will probably chop one girl in few days or a week and then the last monster looks like it will be ready little bit later than the rest so I will give it some extra time.

Week Three im happy with the random seed, I see not much of a difference yet, they all look indica or indica-dominant. one plant is most vigorous, all but one are all growing nice. I also popped one seed of fastbuds fast flowering seeds: gorilla cookies, orange sherbert and gg4 sherbert. Everything going nice in week three, seedlings coming along. they will need transplanting soon, but I'm still hoping to see some sex before that, so I can sort out male plants. I am also not sure if the random seed are autos or photoperiod. I still decided that I will top all plants to give the seedling a little time to catch up some more. this week was feeding time. I feed the plants with a biotabs alternative. im not 100% sure with this, but the biovin is used as the startrex, colonize as the bactrex and the bottled nutrients are the orgatrex. two tabs in 11l / 3 gal pots. these nutrients take some time to work. I use biobizz allmix and we transplanted around one week ago. maybe that's a little bit early, but I think it will be fine. in the End of Week 3 I can't see any burns. some nice fungus formed, so I think the nutrients doing its things. i plan to level up my LST-Skills with the random seed plants and probably don't do a lot on the fastbuds plants to even out the difference in lifetime, so that will mean I maybe get less harvest from the fastbuds plants, but that fine for me. we will see how it turns out. thx for checking out my grow, im a first time grower, but I feel like I have earned some knowledge In the last years by educating myself, so I hope the grow is interesting for all the nicely growers here. I don't aim to do everything perfectly, at least I don't monitor everything but I do my best to keep the plants happy and in a good place to grow and flower.

Sorry for the lack of posts but been dealing with a huge thrip infestation which is so devastating. Most tents are ruined but still salvageable and IPM on the way before next run! Last photo is what's cooking in the background

Didn't have someone to come water the plants. 5 days away. Plants dried right out. Defoliated both and fed and watered. We will see what happens. Plant one has mostly orange hairs. Plant two is on the whiter side. Buds are still filling in. I have definitely learned that I need to move on to a more automated system for my lifestyle. Gonna try to make the best of the next few weeks and watch the trichomes turn. Day 66-67 flushed soil with pH water

Ya estamos casi listos para cosechar. Estamos regando con agua y solo lo estrictamente necesario para mantener hidratadas nuestras plantas. Tambien hemos reducido al 50% la potencia de nuestras luminarias LazerLite Pro 720w.

So from the off this strain really does give it what for as they grow big quick which is always a good sign. So getting into veg they carried on growing really well and big especially the fan leaves and loved the training that I did. So going into the flower stage they grew at some rate so be careful about when you switch them as they do nearly triple in size just bare that in mind and it's definitely a 12 week flower not 8 ☹️ but we'll worth the wait😁 So overall I would give this strain a 7 would of been 10 if had been a 8 week strain. Happy Times Happy Growing 😁 🌿

Week four showed good growth. I started lst. The LSD-25 is responding great. I love watching this plant. By far my favorite. The PH issues did not seem to bother it much. She finished week 4 at 6.5 inches tall with a great bonsai look. I trimmed some foliage, and tied a few branches. The white widow seems to be stalling. I am sure I over watered this week. She is a 5.5 inches tall at the end of the week. I tied a few branches down as well. I need to trim some leaves but was hoping she would stretch a little more. The sleepy yoda showed was really stunted by the PH. I now have the PH under control. I want to feed, but I am afraid it is to late and with the PH issues I was unsure. Right now I am still water only. Looking into feeding more. I ordered new lights. They will go in right in time for the start of week 5

🌱 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. Whether you’re an experienced cultivator, someone growing their very first plant, a curious observer, a supporter, a skeptic, a silent reader, or someone who simply enjoys watching these journals unfold—you are all part of this journey. Thank you to every grower who shares knowledge, asks questions, offers advice and helps make this community stronger every single day. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from every corner of the world can document their work, inspire one another and continue learning together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the complete Terra feeding program used throughout this project. Their consistency and reliability allow each genetic to express its true potential under stable conditions. To Zamnesia and the breeders behind these incredible genetics—thank you for the years of work that make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own character, and discovering those differences is one of the greatest joys of cultivation. And finally… Thank you to everyone who follows these diaries. The supporters. The critics. The believers. The skeptics. The friends I’ve met along the way. Every comment, every question and every conversation makes this project more meaningful. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One week at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

End of week 4 and all is great! This girl is beefin up to be a monster! Already got a ton of bud on her an their is still 4-6 weeks to go. loving this Hortilux Eye 1000w bulb. Really bringing the A game. Not so bumbed about spending $ 125 on a bulb now...lol haven’t had to really take any foliage off yet with the exception of the growth under the netting I removed at 1 weeks into flowering. I say “hell no” too popcorn fluff! Lol gotta save that energy for the top buds. Going great so far anyway, I made a DIY light bar for my light rail mover out of an old metal bed frame so that was cool. Saved $50 per tent... I ain’t no sucker gonna pay $50 for an aluminum bar with some bolts. Lol gonna hook up my “water coolers soon too since the summer is approaching and my water temps are begging to creep up again. Lol you may have noticed a computer case sitting in the corner of my grow tents in past videos, they are DIY water chillers made from some thermoelectric coolers and a copper cooling coil. Stay tuned to see them operational soon! I will be posting a DIY video on how to build one yourself out of an old desktop computer and a few other parts off Amazon. Cheers 💨

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and WOW, what a difference in week. I’m thinking this girl is gonna end up being a beast. She’s stretching about an inch every day and filling in more and more each day. I’m ready for the next few weeks of more of the same. Growing is still fairly new to me and I can’t be happier with the FastBud genetics and how this girl is looking so far. Will give her the next foxfarm trio feeding on Thursday. Day 58 - Not much to really update. She’s getting fatter and filling in everyday and getting pretty frosty. Will give her her next feed of foxfarm tomorrow. It amazes me, how much she fills in and fattens up each day. Day 59 - I’m still amazed by the growth everyday. She’s looking pretty amazing. Gave her the last week 9 foxfarm feeding and will give her straight water until the week 10. She’s still got a couple weeks to go but can’t wait for her to be finished. Day 60 - Looking great. She slowed down her drinking a bit so held off on watering her but will check her out tomorrow and see how thirsty she is. She’s defensively fattening up each day but still a couple weeks before I think about chopping. She’s got lots of growing time left. Day 61 - She’s really starting to smell the place up and it amazing. She was pretty thirsty, gave her a full gallon of pH’d water before she started any sort of runoff. All looking good and can’t wait for her to finish. Day 62 - Nearing the end of week 9 and really pleased with this girl. She’s really starting to fatten up and fill in. Still a couple weeks left but can’t wait to harvest and try this girl. Day 63 - Ending week 9 and looking sweet. She’s really starting to pack on some weight and filling in nicely. She’s definitely starting to get frosty and starting to smell really good.

Hello y'all 👋 Obviously this one is chopped and hanging out by her toes 😎🔥❄️ she is a beauty even upside down There are only a few left to harvest. I am working on them as they get ripe and I will continue to do the defoliation on them to prepare them for the chop ?🌴 Thanks so much for visiting the growroom...Cyrus PS: again I apologize for missing last week's update and now being late this week. I'm starting to feel a bit better but need surgery in hopes to fix the problem

Super bien, están creciendo con mucho vigor. La alimentación se mantiene igual. No he tenido ningún contratiempo. Armario completamente cubierto. Cambiamos el ciclo de luz a 12-12. 👌

Starting my flush on this little beauty this week. #boom, I trimmed a few leafs around the stem area in the video I posted, check out the self LST on this girl so dam happy with this little project ✌️🌱✌️
