Day 56- Starting to frost up. She's not as thick as my other autos but she sure has way shinier trichs than the rest. I like the pronounced purpling also. Im hoping she kicks it into turbo drive this week and starts to bulk up. Day 61-WOW she is really colorful in so many ways. The leaves are sun damaged but under control now but the buds are forming jut fine and turning a nice purple. So many trichomes, making this plant shine like crazy.

Prima raccolta della mia vita, molto soddisfatto, dopo una settimana in flush ho deciso di tagliare in quanto i tricomi stavano diventando ambrati, dopo questo ciclo sicuramente ho capito l'importanza del Lollipoping e sicuramente al prossimo saprò come valutare la gestione

👑 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Godfather OG – Pheno B The Big Mama Keeps Shining – Doing Nothing, Seeing Everything 👑🌿🌸💎 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our beautiful Godfather OG Pheno B. 👑🌿 And honestly... I'm loving this girl. She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's building flowers. She's developing more and more character. And the funniest part? I'm barely doing anything to her. 😂 This is one of those weeks where the grower walks into the room, looks around, checks everything, looks at the plants again... and thinks: "Yep." 😂 That's it. That's the job right now. Observe. Pay attention. See what is happening. Check whether anything is actually needed. And if nothing is needed... leave the plant alone. Because sometimes... doing nothing is actually doing something. And this Big Mama is proving that beautifully. 👑🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – THE BIG MAMA KEEPS MOVING ──────────────────────── Godfather OG Pheno B continues to move quickly. She's not slowing down in the way that makes you think she's finished. She's evolving. She's developing. She's continuing to build her flowers and fill out the structure she's spent the entire grow creating. And when I look at her now compared with the earlier weeks... it's almost funny how much plant we're looking at. She has become a substantial girl. A proper Big Mama. 😂👑🌿 She's occupying her space. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without asking me to constantly reach into the canopy and change something. That's exactly where I want her. Healthy. Developing. Stable. And doing her thing. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS CLAIMED HER SPACE ──────────────────────── There are plants that quietly exist inside a tent. And then there are plants that seem to say: "Yes, this corner is mine." 😂👑 Godfather OG Pheno B has definitely claimed her place. She's got presence. You notice her. You look across the room and she's there. Big structure. Beautiful flowering sites. Healthy foliage. Increasingly developed flowers. And that unmistakable Godfather OG personality we've been following throughout this entire journey. That's one of the things I love about running individual phenotypes. Eventually, you stop seeing just a plant with a label. You know who she is. You know her habits. You know her structure. You know her appetite. You know how she fills the space. And Pheno B? She's our Big Mama. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE DOING THE TALKING ──────────────────────── At this point, the flowers are becoming the main story. And they're speaking pretty loudly. 😂🌸 The flowering structures continue to develop. The buds are becoming more substantial. The pistils continue evolving. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the whole plant is gradually shifting from: "Building flowers" toward: "Developing what those flowers are going to become." That's one of my favourite stages. Because you can actually see the progression. You don't need to imagine what the plant might become. She's showing you. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And Godfather OG Pheno B is showing us plenty. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE FROST IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE ──────────────────────── The closer we look at this girl... the more there is to see. 💎🌸 The resin continues becoming more noticeable across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is where the camera becomes such a beautiful tool. From a distance: "She's beautiful." Closer: "Whoa..." 😂📸💎 The flowers have texture. The pistils weave through the developing structures. The trichomes begin creating that frosted appearance. And suddenly you realize just how much is happening inside what initially looks like one flower. That's why I love keeping the weekly photographic record. Because when you put the weeks together... you can actually see the plant progressing. ──────────────────────── 🌿 DOING NOTHING... AND SEEING EVERYTHING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest theme of this week's report. We're not doing much. And that's intentional. The plant doesn't need us to invent work. She's not asking for major training. She's not asking to be reshaped. She's not asking to be stripped. She's not asking us to constantly reach into the canopy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's healthy. So what exactly would I gain by interfering? Nothing. 😂 My job right now is observation. I walk in. I look. I inspect. I check the flowers. I check the leaves. I check the environment. I check the irrigation. I check whether anything needs attention. And if the answer is: "No." Then... I walk away. 😂🌱 That's not laziness. That's experience. Knowing when a plant needs you... and knowing when it doesn't. ──────────────────────── 👀 OBSERVATION IS STILL WORK ──────────────────────── I think this is something people sometimes underestimate. When a grow is in its active training phase, it's easy to feel productive. You're moving branches. You're positioning things. You're adjusting the canopy. You're doing things with your hands. But later in the run? The most important tool can be your eyes. 👀🌿 You observe. You compare. You notice changes. You catch something early. You decide whether it matters. And you act only when necessary. That's what we're doing with Big Mama. We're not ignoring her. Quite the opposite. We're paying attention. We're just not manufacturing problems where there aren't any. And right now... she looks like she's doing exactly what she should be doing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 WATCHING THE PLANT CHANGE ──────────────────────── One of the most rewarding things about this stage is watching the little changes accumulate. The flowers become larger. The pistils change. The resin becomes more apparent. The plant's overall appearance changes. Some leaves begin to show signs of age. Other leaves remain beautifully green. And all of these things are part of the plant's progression. The important thing is context. We don't look at one leaf and immediately decide the whole plant has a problem. We look at the entire plant. We compare with previous weeks. We look at where changes are occurring. We look at the flowers. We look at the new growth. We look at the environment. And then we decide whether anything actually needs attention. So far? Big Mama is simply moving. And moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE NUTRITION IS STARTING TO COME DOWN ──────────────────────── We're also entering the stage where the nutritional strategy begins to change. As we approach the final part of the flowering cycle, I'm starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like the idea of going: "Full nutrition today." Then: "ZERO EVERYTHING TOMORROW." 😂 Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual transition. Reduce a little. Observe. Let the plant continue. Reduce again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the end of the cycle. The plant doesn't suddenly stop being alive because we're approaching the finish line. She's still functioning. Still transpiring. Still photosynthesizing. Still developing. So for me, a progressive reduction makes more sense than slamming the door shut overnight. We're beginning that transition now. Less nutritional input. Continued observation. And allowing Big Mama to finish her work. ──────────────────────── 🌿 WHY I PREFER A GRADUAL REDUCTION ──────────────────────── Plants don't have a little calendar hanging on the wall saying: "Two weeks left!" 😂 They respond to their environment. They continue functioning. They continue using resources. And different plants can behave differently during the final stages. That's another reason why I prefer to reduce gradually. I'm watching the plant. Not just the calendar. Godfather OG Pheno B is still actively developing. She's still beautiful. She's still moving. So I'm not interested in suddenly starving her simply because we're getting closer. The nutritional input is being reduced progressively while we continue observing her response. That's the philosophy. Slow transition. No panic. No unnecessary extremes. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN IS STILL FLYING ──────────────────────── The lighting setup remains upgraded with the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. And we're still controlling that extra capacity rather than simply running everything flat out. Approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... this is where having more capability becomes useful. We don't have to use everything. We have the headroom. We have the fixtures. We have the photons. And we can control how much we're actually using. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number possible. Big Mama has plenty of light available. Now we're watching what she does with it. 😂☀️👑 ──────────────────────── ☀️ PHOTONS MEET A BIG PLANT ──────────────────────── Godfather OG Pheno B is a fantastic example of why I keep talking about three-dimensional lighting. She's not a flat surface. She's a big plant. 😂🌿👑 She's got height. She's got branches. She's got flowers occupying different levels. She's got leaves facing different directions. She's got areas exposed directly to the fixtures... and areas deeper inside the canopy. So when we say approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, that's exactly what we mean. The upper canopy. The rest of the plant naturally receives different intensities. That's normal. That's physics. That's plant architecture. And the additional Lumiflora lighting helps us explore how we can bring additional illumination into deeper parts of that structure. We're not just lighting a tent. We're lighting a three-dimensional garden. ──────────────────────── 💚 FUTURE OF GROW – THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA SUN ──────────────────────── A big thank you again to Future of Grow for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. This upgrade has given us something I really value: Control. More available lighting. More headroom. More flexibility. And because we don't need to run the fixtures at maximum output, we can find the operating point that makes sense for the room. We're currently around 59% power from the plug and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of artificial sunlight. ☀️😂 And Big Mama is sitting right underneath it... catching photons and turning them into flowers. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these fixtures in a real flowering environment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL ANSWER ──────────────────────── And once again... the 8×8 experiment continues to prove why genetics are so fascinating. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional strategy. Different plants. Different expressions. Different personalities. Godfather OG Pheno B has given us a very clear answer. She's big. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautiful. She's developing quickly. And she has claimed her own space. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be another cultivar. She's simply being herself. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOS TELL THE STORY ──────────────────────── And looking at this week's photographs... I can see why I'm loving this girl. 😂📸👑 The full-plant images show just how substantial she has become. The flower photographs show the developing structure. The closer images reveal the resin and pistils. And together... they tell a story that a single photograph never could. She's changing. She's maturing. She's becoming more defined. And she's doing it quickly. This is why I don't want to rush through these final stages. There is still so much to observe. Every week gives us another little piece of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BIG MAMA IS STILL BUILDING ──────────────────────── She's not finished. That's the important part. She's still developing. Still building. Still changing. And although we're getting closer to the final part of the journey, I don't want to start treating the plant like the finish line has already arrived. She's still here. Still working. Still using the environment. Still developing her flowers. So we continue observing. We continue providing what she needs. And we let her decide how the next chapter looks. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. Just support. And patience. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ THE ROOM CONTINUES TO DO ITS JOB ──────────────────────── The general room environment remains consistent with the current 8×8 setup: • 🌡️ Day temperature: approximately 26.5–27°C • 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25–26°C • 💧 RH: around 60–61% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: around 25–26°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: around 25°C • ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 • ⚡ EC: gradually being reduced as we move toward the later flowering stage • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h • 🌱 Pot size: 15 L • ☀️ Upper canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD • 🔌 Lighting output: approximately 59% And again... these numbers are useful. But they're not the entire story. The plant tells us the rest. And Big Mama is telling us: "I'm good." 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE'S SHINING BRIGHT ──────────────────────── There are weeks where a plant gives you a dramatic event. Something happens. Something changes. Something needs fixing. And then there are weeks like this. Nothing dramatic. Nothing broken. Nothing demanding intervention. Just... growth. Beautiful growth. And honestly? Those are some of my favourite weeks. Because this is the payoff of all the work we did earlier. We built the structure. We established the environment. We got the irrigation working. We provided the nutrition. We upgraded the lighting. And now... we watch. Godfather OG Pheno B is doing the rest. 👑🌸💎 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS THE PART I LOVE ──────────────────────── This stage of the grow reminds me why I enjoy growing so much. You can plan. You can measure. You can prepare. You can control as many variables as possible. But eventually... you have to let the plant be a plant. And that's where the magic happens. The grower provides the opportunity. The genetics provide the expression. The environment provides the conditions. And the plant writes the story. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers very clearly. She's a Big Mama. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. She's filling out. And she's making herself impossible to ignore. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔮 LOOKING AHEAD ──────────────────────── From here... we continue exactly as we've been doing. Observe. Check. Photograph. Measure. Support. And only intervene when something actually requires intervention. The nutrition will continue its gradual reduction as we move toward the later stages. The lighting remains controlled. The environment remains stable. The irrigation continues. And Big Mama gets to keep doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development 💎 Resin development ? Pistil evolution 🌿 Natural changes in the foliage ⚗️ Response to the gradual nutritional reduction 💧 Water demand ☀️ Response to the lighting environment 🌡️ Environmental stability 📸 Changes from week to week No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary work. Just observation. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – DOING NOTHING, SEEING EVERYTHING ──────────────────────── Week 12. And Godfather OG Pheno B continues to shine. 👑🌿🌸💎 She's big. She's beautiful. She's evolving quickly. She's filling her space. She's developing her flowers. And I'm loving her. This week, once again, we didn't need to do much physically. And that's okay. Actually... that's fantastic. Because it means the plant is doing what she's supposed to do. Our job right now is mostly to observe. Look closely. Check the flowers. Check the foliage. Watch the environment. Monitor the irrigation. Gradually reduce the nutritional input as we approach the later stages. And if something is needed... we respond. If nothing is needed... we leave her alone. That's the balance. Because growing isn't always about doing more. Sometimes growing is knowing when to stop doing. 😂🌿 And this Big Mama? She's got it. She's claiming her place in the tent. She's shining under those photons. She's building beautiful flowers. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's evolving quickly. And she's doing it all while I stand there with a camera thinking: "Well... you're doing a pretty damn good job without me." 😂📸👑 So keep shining, Big Mama. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep showing us what this Godfather OG expression can become. We're watching. We're learning. We're documenting. And we're enjoying every minute of it. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the process with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Godfather OG genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the growing media and nutrition. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded lighting setup in a real flowering environment. More capability. More control. More photons. And the ability to run the fixtures at a controlled output rather than simply pushing everything to maximum. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore lighting as a three-dimensional environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following these girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this adventure. 💚 Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Godfather OG Pheno B is writing hers as a Big Mama. 😂👑 She's big. She's beautiful. She's hungry. She's developing fast. She's building flowers. She's getting frostier. And she's shining brighter every week. So let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. And most importantly... let's keep doing what this stage of the grow asks us to do: Pay attention. Provide what is needed. And let the plant shine. 👑🌿🌸💎☀️🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸👑🔥

The plant again doubled in size. Not sure if it’s the light, but the plant is growing super bushy. I have already started removing some of the inner shoots, to focus the energy into building some length. The roots are developing phenomenally and she seems to be overall quite happy. Once she is a bit taller, I will probably top her to make sure that I can fill the SCR.O.G. Properly. Light intensity is currently set to somewhere around 80% veg only.

58 день от каски и 23 с перевода 12/12.Немного посрезал листвы,но без фанатизма Выглядят все хорошо,появляется сахарок,начали активно цвести,в следующий полив буду начинать добавлять pk boost NLB пахнут лимоновой конфетой Mazar более классический запах сосна/земля Если не трогать их,то запах слабый ещё,это хорошо:) На видео 63 день от каски и 28 день 12/12 Начали требовать много еды,один раз дал лёгкий компот и словил голод Mazar в два раза меньше чем NLB,ещё один NLB в отдельном боксе. Последний полив был 900+ppm вход,1100-1200ppm выход

bei der ganzen veranstaltung wollte ich ja rausfinden ob man auf 100% seramis anbauen kann. ja kann man aber es ist erschwerlich. im grunde ist es eine hydroanbauweise bei der man alles an nährstoffen hinzufügen muss. weil seramis wasser gar nicht so gut speichert wie angenommen hab ich zum ende noch eine tröpfchenbewässerung installiert die jede stunde für 30sec angeht. das hat erstaunlich gut geklappt. postiv hervorzuheben ist das man keine probleme mit trauermücken hat. vielleicht probiere ich nächstes mal halb seramis halb coco.

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚
