12/09/2025 Last week of nutes and last week of real flowering. Both ladies look just about done. Papaya Cookies is nearly there. Lemon Cherry Cookies isn't too far behind either. But she definitely has the whole week plus a couple days to go. Papaya Cookies might be done by the end of the week, if not sooner. I might have to push her a little more so I can harvest them at the same time. I won't be changing out the water until after lights out as I always do. So today will just be a plain water top off. Well, that's been everyday for like 2 weeks. Lol. But, I noticed both ladies definitely didn't drink as much as usual last night. Another sign that they are almost done. Normally it's close to a gallon a day. This was about a half gallon. Anyway, I won't be recording the morning readings as the water will be changed out today. If it were under the normal night and day schedule, it would be easier to do this, but the AI suggested this time of day for lights out. It's warmer now than at night. Obviously. Lol. So now I have to wait for lights on after the plants have had their rest to change the water out. Then we can take readings. Next week, which will only be 3 or 4 days, I'll be doing a slow wet trim. Or I guess the defoliation I should have done 2 months ago. Anyway, I'll be pulling anything with a reachable stem. I won't be cutting the sugar leaves. That's after drying with my new cannabrush. We'll see how well this baby works. On a final note before lights out, Papaya Cookies has a few buds that are nearly done on the bottom and they are super hard. Really nice smalls. There's a bit of larf, and I can't really reach the buds in the middle, but they seem to be the ones taking the longest. So I think we'll be waiting for those ones to finish. Lemon Cherry Cookies is kind of the same. Lots of bud in the middle that I can't reach. They aren't done and still have loads while pistils. But the buds on top are still swelling, so that's a good thing. We'll definitely see some bigger buds from this little lady. Good afternoon everyone. It's 6:41pm. New water new nutes cut in half. Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 824 TDS: 409 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 5.8 EC: 874 TDS: 439 So it's 10 pm and I decided to check the pH and whatnot. It spiked to 6.8. What is happening? I cannot get it to stay in range. I don't know what to do here. It has to be something in the roots. I wonder if it's my tap water. It seems to have worsened since I started using it, but I can't afford distilled bottles. I will be ordering distilled for the 3 day flush. But that's only 3 days and I'm saving up for it. Back to the matter at hand. pH spiking. Both plants. The EC and TDS also increased. Not by much, but still increased. The goal is to decrease. Hopefully, with the lower nutes, the roots or whatever gets diluted enough to slow everything down. They're already not drinking as much. So there's very little time. I wanted to get it corrected by today. But nope. Nothin doin. Well, I guess I'll be checking the pH tomorrow morning and changing the water out. I might have to change it in the morning and after lights out. We shall see. If it drops, I'm going to pH it back to 5.8 and leave the water alone. That's the plan. 12/10/2025 So today I checked the readings like everyday. BUT today my back is killing me and I can't lift the shit. It's really annoying. So frustrating. Anyway, Lemon Cherry Cookies didn't change one bit overnight. pH is still at 6.8. the EC and TDS are also in roughly the same spot. But she did drink about a half a gallon and there was no change, so that's good. No increase in nutrient concentration. But the pH man, the pH is brutal. Papaya Cookies dropped her pH down to 6.6, so that's good. Not in range, but still good. Her EC and TDS are also about the same. So same situation but a lower pH. So I popped 3 ml of pH down in and mixed it up. Half gallon went into each container. It did nothing to Lemon Cherry Cookies. The pH stayed the same. But the EC and TDS dropped a little. Papaya Cookies with the gallon, dropped down to 6.2 and the EC and TDS dropped a little bit as well. Readings: Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.74 EC: 922 TDS: 465 Papaya Cookies: pH: 6.5 EC: 867 TDS: 430 Forget everything you just read. LMAO. The numbers increased. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I'm gonna pH the water for both ladies after lights out. This morning I just added the plain pHed water. And not much happened. It's the roots. Gotta be. There's nothing left to look at. Well there's the tiny dose of nutes, but I don't think that's the problem. It could also be from the water itself. It's pretty hard. But I have no idea what to do about that. Is there a water softener that can be used in a bucket? Or would that be a really bad idea? Also, I just thought about this yesterday when I was removing Lemon Cherry Cookies from her bucket into the reserve for the water swap. As we all know, the tail of the roots is super long. So I have to lift it with my hands out of the water. My question is why didn't it ball up like Papaya Cookies? I think they have the same amount of roots, but Papaya Cookies has an actual ball where Lemon Cherry Cookies has a tail and smaller root ball. What gives? Anyway, that was my weekly WTF question. Next week it's gonna be something like why won't this carboflush work? Should I add more? Should I swap out the water... Again?... You know. I'm implementing Murphy's Law here. What can go wrong will go wrong. LMAO. It's all good. I'm preparing for that exact question. I bet it's gonna be increasing EC and TDS levels. That's gonna be the problem. And no idea how to solve it. Swap out the water every few hours? That's crazy. Maybe one or two swaps every day, but not every few hours. A waste of carboflush and water. So I'm super concerned with who will finish first. Papaya Cookies looks like she could be done by the end of the week. Lemon Cherry Cookies looks like she could use the whole week and then some. I know I said this last week, but it is a real concern. And I still have nowhere to put the other tent. But it's only for a few days and not an entire week. Well, hopefully not an entire week. I have to trim in the tent so I can kinda keep the smell concealed. The fan on level 10 with just a side door open should be fine. Plus, I'm only taking off the sugar leaves at that point. So it should be a little faster with this brush thing and less smell will escape. Oh, I'll be using Grove Bags for the curing process. I really do like them. But I still need to add a Bovida pack because of the dry winter air. 12/11/2025 Morning readings after correction. Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.95 EC: 763 TDS: 381 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 946 TDS: 473 I got a couple trichome videos posted for everyone to see. I actually haven't watched them yet, so I'll update shortly. But in bigger news. I found a full fledged flower on Lemon Cherry Cookies this morning. Complete with 1 seed. Then I found a bud with 3 seeds. Not developed yet, but there nonetheless. So that explains why she's taking longer to finish up. I'm hoping it was isolated and those are the only ones. I looked all through the bottom where I found the 2 sites. I think I found one more, but I left it alone. My question is, if I clear out the seeded sites, will the plant mature faster? Good question right?! Because what I read was that seeded cannabis plants will take longer to mature because of seed production, as seeds take 6 to 8 weeks to mature.i had a gorilla cookies that went for like 21 weeks because it got seeded everywhere. No clue how, I never found the pollen sacks. But that plant was super healthy and HUGE. Well huge for an Autoflower in a 3x3 tent with 3 more plants in there. Anyway, I'll definitely have to bring out the 2x2 now. As I said, I have trichome videos and I haven't seen them yet. But I have a feeling that Papaya Cookies is just about finished. As in I could probably start the flush this weeks as I suspected. We'll see though. Oh speaking of healthy plants. Lemon Cherry Cookies is also still unhealthy. I spoke too soon. Still locked out and now more leaves are turning yellow. The weird thing is, I added a very small amount of nutrients. How there's still an issue I don't know. I guess just wait longer? 🤔 Ok, so I just watched both videos. Lemon Cherry Cookies definitely has more time to go. The trichomes are mostly clear toward the middle of the plant. So she definitely has more time to go. Hopefully with any luck, she'll mature by the end of the week. Papaya Cookies has almost all cloudy trichomes. I like a bit of amber in the mix and there is none. So I'm going to wait for Sunday I think then start flushing her. I'll flush for 3 days. So that will be finished on Tuesday. And that's when I should be able to start flushing Lemon Cherry Cookies. Then I chop Papaya Cookies and hang her up. At the same time, I do a 3 day dark period for Lemon Cherry Cookies while she finishes up. In the meantime, Papaya Cookies is happily drying right above her. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to work the environment. I'm thinking I can just keep the temp at around 66° and bring the humidity up to 50% I think that's good. I have to look into it. But it's only for a few days and there's still plenty of airflow. I will be turning 1 fan off though. As to not disturb Papaya Cookies while she dries. Plus I don't need 2 fans for 1 plant this size. So yah, that's my plan. And as long as it works I'm good to go. If it doesn't work, I'll have to bring out the 2x2 and hook it up to the 3x3 and use that exhaust to pull from the tent. I have an extra fan so I can run that as well. For air circulation. Not too sure how I'm gonna keep the humidity up in there. Hmmmm. That's not good. I can definitely keep the temp low, but the humidity is super dry here right now. Well, it'll be 3 days in the 3x3 drying so if the 3x3 isn't ready for both plants to dry, the 2x2 will only be used for like 7 days. With a 10 day dry, that is. I'd rather not rush the drying time. Although, if I can't figure out the humidity, I may be rushing it quite a bit. Like in a very bad way. So I hurt my back and am having trouble even checking the readings. Hopefully it's not all messed up. Also, I've been thinking. Both plants have nutrient lockout. Would it make sense to start flushing Papaya Cookies like tomorrow? She only has about a week left. 12/12/2025 Readings: Papaya Cookies: pH: 5.5 EC: 731 TDS: 364 Lemon Cherry Cookies: pH: 6.2 EC: 877 TDS: 438

I ran into a mold and bug problem around this week, so I started harvesting branches in an emergency to save what i could

Very happy with the result just few more days to smoke some weed thanks for everyone that helped me out when I asked for a question ❓ to help me out see you all for the next grow . Later Next week I will make a n update on the scale ⚖️ 😄

They’re growing so fast and healthy. You can easily notice the growth daily. Constantly responding very well to all training.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Week V 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 OOOOKAAAAYY THE SMELL ALREADY TAKES OVER AND IT'S SATISFACTORY NOT TO LEAVE THESE LADIES SIDE! AND LOOK HOW THEY JUMPED! ITS GROWTH SEEMS ACCELERATED AND WITH AN INSATIABLE HUNGRY IN ITS DEVELOPMENT. BIG WEEK TO BE ALIVE 🤣 LOL 📝📝📝📝📝 Notes 📝📝📝📝📝 ALL PLANTS WITH THE 4TH DEVELOPED NODE HAVE BEEN TOPPING ONLY THE TWO LARGEST NODES ARE STILL DEVELOPING. STILL SEEKING THE BROAD SPECTRUM OF LIGHT WE HAVE UP TO 50cm DISTANCE AND THEY ARE GROWING WELL AND APPEARINGLY HEALTHY. FROM THIS WEEK YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE PLANTS DISTRIBUTION SCHEME AT THE END OF THE PHOTOS 📝📝📝📝📝

Die Plants wurden umgetopft und sind unter der grossen lampe gekommen, haben etwas stress anzeichen was normal beim umtopfen ist ,ansonsten sehen sie gut aus .

23.08.24: I've done considerable defoliation. Also, FBP1 and FBP3 have grown all over the place. The stems are also relatively weaker as they've grown so much. (Photos above). Being as the plants were looking a bit delicate, I added some string and tied the side branches lightly to keep them a bit more compact. Additionally, FBP2 has a considerable amount of buds on the main cola. So I've added a plant stake, and I just tied string around the stake and the main stalk. The humidity has been able to stay under 53%. That's with 3 dehumidifiers. So I'm pretty sure that's about as good as it will probably be. I've had to lower the watering frequency on FBP3, as I overwatered only this plant. and also added too much Nitrogen in. As a result all the leaves are looking droopy. I'm really not sure how this will pan out, as they all still look like they're weeks away from harvest. Anyway, I'll update throughout the week. 25.8.24: I was tending to the garden a majority of the day, and realised that a branch had broken on FBP2. I acted quickly to insert plant stakes, to provide the heavily laden branches additional support. See photos above. The branch was bent or snapped, but still in one piece. I used duct tape to carefully put it back together. Before making a stake for it. Silica, apparently wasn't quite enough to get the FBP2 through the whole way. The flowers are very heavy and dense. I have also given the plants water yesterday with concentrations of the following nutrients, per plant. ● 9ltr of dechlorinated tap water with 6ml of cal-mag, 3ml of Ecothrive Flourish, 6ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. I have also added cinnamon top dress after watering, as I have noticed some fungus gnats. I checked the trichomes through one of my loupes yesterday too, and nearly all are still glass like in appearance, with some cloudy here and there. I'm definitely going to have some time left on these girls. I did check the PH if my soil on all plants as I was concerned about nutrient lock out on FBP3. All pots tested out at 7.0 Ph exactly, before and after watering. Thanks for reading my diary 😊

We have day 61 today, next update harvest 💪 --------------------- 👇 Week 8 (Pictures are from day 57+58 after 12/12, Trichomes pictures from day 60) - Just watering 1l / plant with calmag for the last 2 days. - PPFD at canopy height is approximately 750, with VPD around 1.3 - Harvest is around the corrner --------------------- Happy growing, and thank you for checking out my report! Your support means a lot to me! 🙏 --------------------- I appreciate every like and comment 👍👊😃

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Everything is going good in here. I see this strain is hungry. I've got more yellow leaves than I should. I should have been feeding this strain a bit more nitrogen and I wouldn't have had so many yellow leaves. It's hard to read the plant signs, sometimes. There will be a few more feedings before flushing starts. Hey... I've got a 50% off code for UKHTA Seeds if anyone is interested? Won it in a contest, and I won't use it before it expires. It's a 50% off your first order code, has to be used by May 1st 2026. They would love diaries made on their seeds. That's... www.ukhta.es/ to see their strains. Privet message me if your interested. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

The Apple Betty Babies have been chugging along, doing their thing ❤️ The frost is starting! These girls are early producers, and seem to be responding well to the wind and light stress! The second trellis was definitely needed. They have been keeping to the same schedule of needing to be watered every 72 hours. I will be switching from cal/Mag to Mag/Sulphur supplements later this week. ❤️ how readily available these Advanced Nutrients are. The nutrient burn on some of the tips has not spread or gotten worse. The feed range seems to be the 700-750 range. Still keeping to the feed, water, feed schedule. I’ve increased the light intensity to 90% and will probably be stopping there. The temps have been getting as high as 81 degrees, and low as 73 at night. I’ve decreased the humidity to fluctuate around 50% , giving a reasonable VPD for most of the time, thanks to the automation of the in-line exhaust fan. Still have 4-5 weeks for these babies, I’m hoping they continue to plump up, they are showing some great promise. Happy Gardening 🤗❤️👊🇨🇦

So I flipped the switch we're now on 12/12 and the stretch is kicking in big time. Plants are very lush growth is aggressive and just simply explosive!! Keep following for the upcoming flower show!!

Should probably start my 2 week flush at the end of this week but I want to harvest this plant and my other one(which is 2.5 weeks behind) at the same time so I'm probably going to try and push the feeding another 2 weeks until I start the final flush, trying to have this stay in flower for 10 weeks, the breeder says flowering period takes 8-10 weeks so I think I'll still be just fine. This week went well, the plants are slowly starting to fade and colors are starting to come out. Gonna follow through with my original plan and continue feeding lightly for the next week or two until I start the final flush. I also raised the lights a bit this week mainly to help and give more light to my second plant that stretched so much its main cola is hitting the grow light, and also to help prevent any foxtailing from occurring.

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 6 (Early Flower) 🌱 Same Family, Completely Different Personality One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering just how differently they can express the very same genetics. Frosted Guava Pheno B continues to surprise me every single week. Sharing the same home, the same lighting, the same nutrition, the same environmental conditions, and the very same 12/12 From Seed journey as her sister, she's writing an entirely different story. Where Pheno A reached for the sky with a broader, more open structure, Pheno B has remained wonderfully compact, building a dense framework of strong branches and closely spaced internodes that give her an incredibly sturdy appearance. Standing at 99 cm, she isn't the tallest lady in the room. But every day she convinces me a little more that height isn't everything. Sometimes the smaller plants carry the biggest surprises. 🌸 Week 6 – Flowers Are Starting to Take Control This week marks the moment where flowering truly begins taking over. The vertical stretch has slowed considerably, allowing the plant to redirect her energy into building the dozens of flowering sites spread across her canopy. Every branch now carries clusters of bright white pistils, and what were small pre-flowers only a week ago are already beginning to form recognizable bud sites. There's a quiet confidence about this phenotype. She isn't growing wildly. She's growing with purpose. Each node feels productive, each branch contributes to the canopy, and the entire plant appears focused on one objective—building flowers. 🌿 Compact Structure with Huge Potential One characteristic continues standing out above everything else. Density. Her internodal spacing remains noticeably tighter than her sister's, creating a plant that feels full without becoming overcrowded. The careful Low Stress Training carried out during vegetative growth has paid off beautifully, allowing light to reach deep into the canopy while preserving her naturally compact architecture. Strong lateral branching, thick stems and excellent airflow throughout the plant provide a solid framework for the weeks ahead. Looking at her today, it's easy to imagine each one of these flowering sites developing into chunky, well-supported colas. Sometimes compact plants end up being the ones that surprise you the most. 🌼 Early Flower Development Flower production has accelerated nicely this week. Fresh clusters of pistils continue appearing across every growing tip, while the first small stacks of calyxes are beginning to give each bud site more definition. Although it's still early in bloom, there's already a noticeable increase in flower density compared to last week. Every passing day adds a little more volume. A few more pistils. A little more structure. The transformation has clearly begun. The first hints of resin are also starting to appear on the surrounding sugar leaves, offering a small preview of what's still to come. 🍃 Plant Health Health remains exceptional. The foliage displays a deep, healthy green, with leaves maintaining excellent posture throughout the entire canopy. There are no signs of stress, deficiencies, or nutrient imbalance. The stems continue thickening to support future flower weight, while new growth remains vigorous and beautifully uniform. She has developed into one of those plants that simply looks comfortable. Comfortable in her environment. Comfortable with her feeding. Comfortable doing exactly what nature designed her to do. 💧 Nutrition & Hand Watering Unlike her sister, Pheno B continues her journey under traditional hand watering, allowing me to spend a little extra time with her during every irrigation. This week's feeding consists of: • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 It's been fascinating to compare both irrigation methods throughout this project. Despite one plant growing with AutoPot and the other by hand, both continue developing beautifully under the same Plagron feeding program. 🌡️ Environment Stable environmental conditions continue allowing each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent has allowed the subtle genetic differences between both Frosted Guava phenotypes to become the real story of this grow. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I expect flower production to accelerate significantly. Those small clusters of pistils should begin stacking together into clearly defined buds, while resin production gradually spreads across the sugar leaves and surrounding calyxes. What excites me most isn't her height. It's her structure. Her compact frame, tight internodal spacing, and impressive number of flowering sites give me the feeling that she could become one of those plants that quietly delivers an outstanding harvest without ever being the biggest in the room. Sometimes the plants that ask for the least attention end up giving you the biggest smile at harvest. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of the most fascinating plants in this entire 8×8 Adventure. Growing beside her sister under identical conditions has been a perfect reminder that genetics are never just about a strain name—they're about expression. Same family. Same environment. Same care. Yet a completely different personality. She has chosen to stay compact, sturdy and beautifully organized, and every week she becomes a little more convincing that this unique structure could translate into something very special when harvest day finally arrives. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for trusting me with these incredible genetics, Plagron for consistently outstanding nutrition, Future ofGrow for powering the garden with exceptional lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and encouragement continue to make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

The flower are very dense and I'm very happy to this. This is the last week that I feed my plants with nutrient, so the next week will start a flush period of two to three week.

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot. As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time. This is the middle plant, not planned for this cycle but one of the 3 Tropicana didn't germinate so I took the Gorrilla Girl I had left from the last cycle, and I'm quite thankful for that! It's so nice to have these geneti contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes. Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious. 19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday.

Cali crasher is a huge girl. She is bulking strong, and just growing like a weed. 🤣. She is under the Hortibloom Solux 350. 🤞🏻 for some nice colas. Everything is going good and she might be on ph water in about 2 weeks. About 3 to 4 weeks from finish. Thank you Hortibloom, and Doctor's Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Woche 5 Der Pheno hat sich von alleine aufgeteilt in 2 Seitentriebe o.O der wurde nicht getoppt sondern ist einfach so gewachsen (Siamesischer Zwilling). Sowas habe ich bis jetzt noch nicht gesehen 😁 Ansonsten läuft soweit alles gut, ich habe mittlerweile den Düngerplan durch KI verändern lassen und bin gespannt, wie es bei diesem Durchgang läuft. Die Ladys wurden ein bisschen entlaubt.

So this grow came to a finshed but I had a. Few issues that’s held me up from finishing up the diary, but in due time I will reupload it all in order soon. But over all I will also update with a final weigh in of each strain produced so stay tuned 🤙🏻🔥

En esta etapa no agregue ningún nutriente a la solución para evitar que la planta tenga gusto al nutriente, así dicen los expertos que queman esta hierba. Yo lo hago solo por deporte, no porque lo fume. mantuve el ph en condiciones estables a como dictan los científicos en este rubro. la próxima😁 semana corto las plantas y las pongo a secar.
