Week 8: Everything is going great. I didn't plan on taking them all out again till they got chopped, but decided to get them out one at a time today and give them a good thorough defoliation, peeled off any undergrowth and water and feed them all. Temps remain completely under control and no longer an issue, even in 90 degree weather here. I've continued to alternate between feeding and just water, cal mag and fish shit. The only plant of the 6 to show any deficiencies was the #1 Skunk. Every leaf on leaf chart looks same to me lol. I upped today's feeding to 3/4 strength instead of half strength. If I had to guess, I would say that this is the last feeding for the Creme de la Chem, Strawberry Couch and the Double Grape. Those three will likely all fall in the 70-80 day harvest range and those three are at day 58. Not 100% on the #1 Skunk or not, it may get one more feeding, along with the Watermelon Skittles. The Fruit Punch? Well there is a chance I will be smoking cured Creme de la Chem before that one gets chopped lol. It will continue to get fed for a while as buds still very under developed. Today's defoliation was barely anything for a couple plants like the Watermelon Zkittles. A few big fan leaves blocked bud sites, but the Skunk needed thinned out badly and I took a good 20 minutes to go around the outside them come in from over top to really get in there and try to make some airflow and better light penetration. These are definitely drinking at different rates but in order to not be mixing up stuff daily, I feed them all on the same day and the couple that still had some weight to them just get less. I think these will all meet and exceed my 2 ounce goal per plant and 5 of the 6 after topping and training have conformed to the types of plants I really want to grow with the space I have. Thats 6-8 tops on a short compact plant. The Fruit Punch went off the reservations waiting till day 50 to start flower and is acting like this is a 3 plant grow not a 6. But shoving it in corner and putting short Skunk plant by it on bucket to raise up canopy along with raising one side of my TSL2000 and lowering other side towards shorter plants appears to be working great. Its great to be thinking about the flush. Having plants out, I did check trichomes on a couple just for the fun of it and mainly clear so got couple weeks or more for most of these.

Sono pronto per fiorire 😈

Very Beautiful, Purple Buds, nice smell, smooth smoke and good high, can only recommed growing 3 more rn

🌱 Week 3 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week down and the differences between the phenos are becoming more obvious every day 👀🔥 The environment stayed very stable this week with temperatures, humidity, and VPD remaining consistent. Because all plants are growing under the exact same conditions, it’s really interesting to see how differently each phenotype develops genetically. 📈 Current observations: Several phenos are already reaching close to 30 cm in height Meanwhile, some smaller phenos — especially Pheno #6 — are still around 13 cm Leaf structure and overall plant shape continue to vary a lot between phenos Growth vigor is clearly different from plant to plant now 💧 Feeding & maintenance: This week the plants received their first proper feeding with around 4 liters of nutrient water. Some phenos seem to react more sensitively to the nutrients, as a few plants are starting to show slight brown leaf tips, so I’ll keep a close eye on them over the next days 👀 I also removed more large fan leaves to improve light penetration and allow the lower branches to develop more evenly. 📊 Current environment: Temperature stable around 26°C Humidity staying between 63–65% VPD maintained around 1.3 kPa Light intensity remaining at 35% Now I’m really curious to see when the first flowering signs will appear 🌸🔥 💬 Which pheno would you pick so far?

I'm highly impressed with the autopots so far. It's very unlikely that I would have given the plants as much water as they have taken up and they would have suffered, as I was out of town for 3 days and they went through over 10gal while I was gone. Closed the valve on the autopots Fri evening and started up a batch of tea (about 2 gal) with kelp, alfalfa, bat guano, worm castings and, of course, Real Growers Recharge. I'll let the tea bubble for at least 24 hours and then split it between all 4 girls on Sunday just after topdressing and just before lights off. Autopots will get turned on at this time too. Everyone loved the change in light cycle and are starting to stretch nicely. Put up smaller squared trellis netting to spread out the bud sites as they continue to stretch. BBM1 is just a big, healthy girl and really think she's gonna give me a great harvest. BBM2 is filling out nicely and I think both the Cheese and Gruntz will need some tying down to keep the canopy as even as possible, even with the scrog. So anxious for the Blueberry smells to kick into gear.

10 jour de séchage a 18c et 60% humidité pour conservé les arôme. Vraiment pas le yield au quel je m'attendais mais la qualité est la ! Plante très facile a cultiver et très jolie.ses teinte de pourpre , violette et verte lui donne un look assez unique .La couleur rouge est plus présente et vif depuis qu'elles sont sec Les têtes sécher son un peut flufy et la génétique a tendance a faire des foxtailing durant la pousse . Des arôme un peut raisin un peut bais additionner d'un léger terreux. j'aurai préférer un peut plus moufette mais délicieux tout de même.

📅 D29 - 12/09 📜 Entering in the 4th week of vegetation, almost ready for preflowering. Today I made a big defolation and tied up the main branches with LST. Focus strongly on res as it has a strange behavior (EC falling and pH static). If tomorrow will be again like this, I will completely change the water and I will set a lower EC. T and H are now under control. ✍️ 1,3 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 9,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D30 - 13/09 📜 Today I made a big defolation, cutting all the branches not interesting. Sadly I cut also one of main branch by mistake. Too bad, I'm very upset. Added 1,5 L of water with EC = 1,43 and pH = 5,8. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D31 - 14/09 📜 I made some LST in order to cover the space of the broken stem and leave more space to the other branches. Today I not feed her, waiting for tomorrowv to add 1,5 L. Lucy is almost ready for SCROG. I think she will start soon, for sure this week. The res EC and pH seems stable now. T and H are under strict control. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D32 - 15/09 📜 I start ScrOG training today. Tommorow I will change the res as I don't like how pH and EC are moving. pH tester is broken again, I purchase a professional one for a lot of money. I hope this will do his job for long time. ✍️ 1,2 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 8,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 11 cm 📅 D33 - 16/09 📜 Big News: Lucy starts preflowering. A little bit earlier than my tought but I think I can manage, as she looks great right now. I also changed the res, pushing the EC until 1,45 and turned on the flowering lights.The ScroG Net is working fine, I guess. Update: T is really too high (now near 36 °C) as I turn on the bloom lights. I'm trying to fix the problem in a creative way: I put some dry ice just in front of area injector and T lowered a little. H is in between 70% - 85%. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L (new res) 📏 15 cm 📅 D34 - 17/09 📜 Lucy in ple flowering stage and the buds are starting grow very fast. The ScrOG net works good until now. I've some problem with the Temp, cause it's always around 35 °C that is too much.. I need to keep the H in between 75% - 85% to balance such high Temp but it's quite difficult. The reason of such high T is because I turned on the bloom lights. Also, today I had a strange beahavior of pH that is decreasing. Now I fix it on 5,5 but I've to be prepared to change res again. Made also some defolation. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 15 cm 📅 D35 - 18/09 📜 Last day of fouth week and last of vegetation. Today pH gone again down 5,5. I added 1 L. of water with normal nuts, pH+ and also GHE Pro Bloom, raising both pH and EC. I will change the res on monday, as soon as I will have affordable measuring tools. SCroG seems working very well and Lucy looks healty. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 15 cm

Had to use some boxes to get the canopy at the same level, no time for training and different strains resulted in this 😁

Moin, Blütewoche 4 ist fast durch und die Temperatur stieg diese Woche auf über 30 % und die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit befindet sich zum Teil leider auch jenseits von gut und böse in der Spitze waren es 75 % und ich würde erinnert warum viele eine Sommerpause machen, solange wollte ich aber nicht auf neue frische Blüte warten. Unerwartet hat sich White Sweet Candy OG nochmal etwas gestreckt und mit Glück sind noch 15 cm bis zur LED. Ich habe daher den Drainmaster um 5 cm nach unten gestellt und konnte ggf. nochmal 5 cm tiefer gehen, sollte ich im Laufe der Zeit Anzeichen von Lichtstress sehen wird das auch gemacht, bisher steckt die WSCOG die Höhe Lichtintensität bei den Mainbuds aber wirklich gut weg, was den Gesamteindruck einer wirklich sehr robusten Sorte weiter bestärkt. Seit Anfang der Woche bilden sich neben den weißen Härchen auch die ersten Trichome auf den Blüten und Sugarleaf, natürlich musste ich auch schon eine erste Riechprob an den Trichomen machen. Bisher konnte ich in diesem noch recht frühen Stadium noch keine süße Note wahrnehmen, dafür einen kiefernartigen Geruch, der in den letzten Tag von einer zitronigen Note begleitet wird, ich denke einen kommenden Wochen wird sich dort noch einiges tuen und die ersten Ansätze sind auch sehr viel versprechend. Die Blätter erstrahlen in einem wirklich sehr schönen frischen Grün, Mängel oder Anzeichen für Stress kann ich keine erkennen und die automatische Bewässerung sorgt zur Zeit 3 mal pro Tag für frische Nährstoffe im Coco Medium, bisher ist dieser Grow ein wirklich sehr entspanntes Anliegen und ich denke das wird sich auch nicht weiter ändern, außer die Temperaturen und die damit verbundene hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit machen wir einen Strich dufh die Rechnung, da würde es mich wirklich interessieren ob diese Sorte resistent gegen Botrytis ist oder eher anfällig. Vielleicht muss ich nochmal aktiv werden und mir einen Luftentfeuchter holen. Hey, Flowering week 4 is almost over, and temperatures climbed above 30°C this week. Unfortunately, relative humidity has also been far from ideal at times, peaking at around 75%. It definitely reminded me why so many growers take a summer break. However, I wasn't willing to wait that long for a fresh flowering run. Unexpectedly, the White Sweet Candy OG stretched a bit more, and with some luck there's still about 15 cm left between the canopy and the LED. Because of that, I lowered the Drainmaster by 5 cm and could potentially gain another 5 cm if needed. Should I notice any signs of light stress over time, I'll definitely make that adjustment. So far, the WSCOG is handling the light intensity at the main buds exceptionally well, which further reinforces my impression that this is a very robust strain. Since the beginning of the week, the flowers and sugar leaves have started producing their first trichomes alongside the white pistils. Naturally, I couldn't resist doing an early smell test on the trichomes. At this still relatively early stage, I haven't noticed any sweet notes yet. Instead, there's a pine-like aroma that has recently been accompanied by a citrusy note over the last few days. I think the coming weeks will bring quite a few changes in that regard, but the first impressions are already very promising. The leaves are showing a beautiful, vibrant green color. I can't see any deficiencies or signs of stress, and the automatic irrigation system is currently supplying fresh nutrients to the coco medium three times a day. So far, this grow has been a very relaxed and enjoyable experience, and I don't expect that to change. The only concern is the high temperatures and the resulting humidity, which could still throw a wrench into the works. I'd be very interested to know whether this strain is resistant to botrytis or tends to be susceptible to it. I may have to take action and get a dehumidifier after all.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 7 | Finally Whispering That Flower Is Coming Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following this diary, you'll know that Passion Fruitz has become one of the most fascinating plants in this entire project. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's flowering the fastest. Quite the opposite. She's teaching us that sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that refuse to follow the schedule we expected. Every other lady in the room has already settled into flowering. Meanwhile, Passion Fruitz has continued building herself, almost completely ignoring the fact that she's been growing under a 12/12 light schedule since the day she broke through the soil. This week, however... Something finally changed. 🌱 Why We're Calling This Week One of Flower Technically, she's still only in pre-flower. The first signs are there. Tiny white pistils are beginning to appear. The growing tips are changing shape. The plant is slowly transitioning from producing leaves into producing flowers. Is she fully flowering yet? Not really. But every flowering journey has to begin somewhere, and this week feels like the true beginning of that transition. So for the sake of documenting this phenotype consistently, I'm officially calling this her Week One of Flower. She's finally telling us she's ready. She's just doing it in her own time. And honestly... That's exactly what makes this phenotype so interesting. 🌿 The Bush That Never Stopped Growing Standing at approximately 66 cm tall, Passion Fruitz remains one of the shortest ladies inside the tent. But don't mistake short for small. She's become an incredibly dense, wide, and vigorous bush. Large fan leaves. Thick stems. Strong side branches. Beautiful spacing throughout the canopy. Instead of stretching vertically, she's invested her energy into building a broad, healthy framework. Looking at her now, I can't help wondering just how enormous she might have become if I had given her several weeks of vegetative growth before flowering. Considering she's been under 12/12 from seed, her ability to keep producing vegetative growth for so long has been remarkable. 🍃 Healthy, Lush & Full of Life Every time I look at this plant, one thing immediately stands out. The colour. Her foliage is rich, vibrant, and beautifully healthy. The large fan leaves almost glow under the lighting, while fresh new growth continues emerging from nearly every branch. She may be taking her time to flower, but she's certainly not wasting that time. Every day she seems to become stronger. Healthier. More prepared for what's ahead. Sometimes patience really does reward the grower. 🌱 Low Stress Training — Guiding, Never Forcing Low Stress Training has continued playing an important role throughout her development. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, LST simply encourages branches to spread out, exposing more growing tips to light while maintaining a level canopy. Combined with occasional leaf tucking, it allows airflow to improve naturally while opening the plant without causing unnecessary stress. It's one of my favourite techniques because it works with the plant instead of against her. Passion Fruitz has responded beautifully. Her canopy is open. Balanced. Healthy. And ready for flowering whenever she decides it's time. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week's feeding remained exactly in line with the rest of the flowering room: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. Even though she's only just entering pre-flower, consistency remains the priority. The goal isn't to force development. It's to provide everything she needs so she can continue progressing naturally. 💡 Under Canopy Lighting From Day One One thing I'm particularly curious about with this phenotype is how she'll respond to the Lumiflora under canopy lighting. Unlike most of the other ladies, which received the additional light after flowering had already begun, Passion Fruitz has been benefiting from it while still building her structure. Although she doesn't yet need extra support for developing buds, those lower branches have been receiving additional light from a very early stage. Will that help her build stronger lower flower sites later? Will the lower canopy develop differently compared to the other phenotypes? Only time will tell. That's one of the reasons I love documenting projects like this. Sometimes the biggest discoveries are the ones you never planned to make. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues providing the stable conditions shared by every plant in this project: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these variables consistent allows the genetics—not environmental changes—to tell the story. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this incredible plant. The full plant images reveal an impressively dense canopy despite her relatively modest height. The close-ups showcase beautifully healthy foliage, rich green colour, vigorous new growth, and those very first hints that flowering is finally beginning. Every picture tells the same story. She's been slow. But she's never stopped growing. And now she's finally preparing for the next chapter. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I'm hoping to see more white pistils appearing across every growing tip as pre-flower gradually develops into true flowering. I'm not expecting explosive bud formation just yet. Knowing this phenotype, she'll probably continue doing everything at her own pace. The stretch may begin slowly. The first clusters of calyxes should become more noticeable. And I'm especially curious to see how the Lumiflora under canopy lighting influences those lower branches as flowering finally gets underway. One thing is certain. Whatever she decides to do... She'll do it on her own schedule. And after watching her these past weeks, I've learned not to rush her. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz has reminded me that growing isn't about trying to force every plant into the same timeline. It's about understanding that every phenotype carries its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing its genetics. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the fantastic genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment every single day. ✨ Lumiflora for providing the under canopy lighting that's helping every branch receive the best possible opportunity to perform. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply enjoying this adventure with me. The first flowers may only just be arriving... But sometimes the slowest journeys become the most memorable ones. I'll see you all next week as Passion Fruitz continues writing her own unique story, one leaf, one pistil, and one flower at a time. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

End of week 6 1 week of flower She is growing very well, 16 cm this week Started LST yesterday with my my plastic Bends Continues to look very healthy Stay safe everyone!

I don't have anything to say for this week. Time seems to be moving slowly as harvest approach. Im hopping they do fatten up a little more, but who knows...

..week 8 of BlackOpium.. and she is still flowering strong💪 she has a weak,peppery smell.. love it..reminds me of the 90's..dont know why..mayb i am just being nostalgic (in 90's i smoked my first...😎👊) She has been in safehouse all week bc of wet and cold weather but thats no problem 4 her.. she is tough!💪 Now some sunny days have arrived 🙌 so she can stand in garden again👍 ..am waiting for the sun to hit her..😸 so i can make some nice pix...😍 (i hope..am having a bad'days"..its hard for me to get it nice and sharp, my hands are shaking..*MS* and have no energy😒.. doesnt matter, am used 2 it..i will get it done,no matter what!✊) Happy growing 4 all✊ **KISS! growingtechnique: keepItSimple, Stupid! PS i think i may have 'jinxed 'it.. it was almost impossible to make a nice pic..nothing was sharp.. so i just made a small video clip😉

2 Foster and one wedding cake left. 1-2weeks maximum I think

CHERRY 🍒 COLA 420/FASTBUDS This lady really produces some extra sticky dense buds that look amazing and smell 👍 great! I had no issues with this strain. She was grown in organic soil with only FOOP nutrient line and she responded with some good looking buds!! Overall a easy grow with rewarding results ✨️ one of the strains I would suggest growing 😀!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you 420/FASTBUDS!! CHERRY 🍒 COLA 420/FASTBUDS

Purple runts photo is a bag Seed, but the only seed out of QP I got First photo Run very impressive so far

Day 40: They got recoverd from overwatering. Leafs got darker because I gave them more nutrients, but gained early signs of slightly overfeeding ( Burnt tips on leafs). I had to boost them to fix it because there isn't much time with autoflowers. Now i only have to adjust my nutrient feeding with just 10 to 15% and its all good. They did stretch again, some growers love it but i think it is ugly and you will gain weak stems. I have to do something about the heat soon, because i want my buds compact and not fluffy. This will happen due lots of heat. I also have to start give them cal/mag, i saw first stages of deficiency. Not a problem when you are early with spotting it. Nice lovely buds so far Thats all for now Day 42: I have been defoliating alot to get the air between the plants. There are still some leafs and branches i want to get rid off, but i don't want them to stress out to much. Also i have killed of 23 smaller plants to make more space for the others. This is always painfull but stupid if you don't do this. If the plants didn't stretch that far due heat and low placed lights, this would not have been the case. I would still have alot of small nice plants. This was more the case for the gorilla's but it had to be said here as well since the Cherry Cola's will profit from it as well. See you guys next week!

day 70 into flower day 87 from seed today is the day im suppose to be harvesting, but the tricomes are not were i need to be. im giving them a couple of more days to finish off. hopefully day 73 might even go a little longer one plant which was the runt was ready i did manage to trim and harvest i have it hanging letting dry out before i cure it in jars. nice yield on the little plant i haven't weight it yet. ive added a video time lapse of me harvesting the my one plant very dank smell to it. my fiskars got sticky. i saved all the trim for later date to make some bubble hash. right the plants are receiving water water a dose of grandmas molasses. the plants look great cant wait to spark some up😵
