2 of dem from the 2nd set don't seem to catch dem self yet🤷🏾‍♂️ but the rest are taking off....those from the 1st set still ain't transplanted and they are pushing hard ties ain't holding dem back. 2 that where transplanted previously jus tryin to get dem a good size n send dem on a breeding project for the beginning of the Most of new cutting have visible root

La pianta ha dimostrato la sua velocità, e già pronta,perfetta per il sea of green,ho applicato il fimming ad I fiori e si sono gonfiati quelli sotto in una maniera esagerata!!provate per credere,adesso è in flushing da 4 giorni,tra circa 3 giorni la raccolgo.

Langsam bilden beide Terpene. Für mich sind Terpene der wichtigste Punkt bei Cannabis. Der Geschmack bzw. Terpene haben großen Einfluss auf die Wirkung, deshalb bin ich sehr auf das Terpenenprofil gespannt und ob ein Phenotyp vielleicht ein Keeper wird. Das ist nicht mein erster Run, aber die Vorfreude ist genauso groß wie beim ersten Mal. Ich denke ich konnte die Sorte Melonade Runtz (fem) bis hier hin schon ganz gut repräsentieren 💚🍀

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 9 ✨ The Elegant Survivor Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! There are plants that surprise you. There are plants that become bigger than expected. And then there are plants that simply keep getting better every time you look at them. Candy Rain is becoming exactly that plant. 🍬💚 When this adventure started, she was the survivor. The one remaining plant from her seed pack after I made a mistake that cost her sister the opportunity to join the experiment. At first, I was simply happy that Candy Rain had made it. Then she started growing. And growing. And developing. And flowering. And somewhere along the way, the little survivor stopped looking like a plant that had merely survived... and started looking like a plant that belongs in the spotlight. Week 9 now. And honestly? I'm loving everything about her. The colour. The leaves. The structure. The flowers. The calyxes. Those beautiful fresh white pistils. The balance. The way she carries herself. She's just... beautiful. And this week, I didn't need to do anything special. No defoliation. No big intervention. No attempt to reshape her. We're simply letting Candy Rain be Candy Rain. And she's doing a damn good job of it. 🍬✨ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure – Let Genetics Speak For anyone joining the diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is built around a simple idea: Give different genetics and phenotypes the same opportunity... and then watch what they do with it. The plants share the same room. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. The same environmental strategy. The same general nutrition. The same irrigation system. The same lighting ecosystem. The same grower. But the plants don't become identical. That's the whole point. The environment provides the stage. Genetics write the performance. And Candy Rain has certainly developed her own character. 🍬 From Survivor to Something Special I still find it funny looking back at where this girl started. She wasn't supposed to become one of the plants I would be watching this closely. She simply survived. And now I'm looking at her at Week 9 thinking: "Where the hell are you going?" 😂💚 Because she continues to impress me. She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not the biggest. She's not trying to dominate everything around her. Instead, she has developed something I appreciate enormously: balance. Her structure is controlled. Her branches carry flowering sites beautifully. Her foliage remains healthy and functional. And the plant has that wonderful combination of strength and elegance. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels chaotic. She simply looks... right. 🌿 A Beautifully Balanced Plant This week, one of the things I appreciate most is the overall balance of Candy Rain. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage, but the canopy doesn't feel unnecessarily crowded. The branches have enough separation to allow us to see the developing flowers. The leaves are beautifully formed. And the entire plant has maintained that fresh, vibrant green that first caught my attention. There is something particularly satisfying about looking at a plant where everything seems to be working together. Leaves supporting flowers. Branches supporting structure. Flowering sites developing along the architecture. Nothing screaming for attention. Nothing demanding correction. Just steady development. And that's exactly why... there was no defoliation this week. ✂️ No Defoliation – Just Let Her Be Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant is nothing. And that's where Candy Rain is right now. I'm not going to remove healthy leaves just because we're at Week 9. I'm not going to create gaps simply because the calendar says it's time for a cleanup. I'm looking at the plant. I'm looking at the canopy. I'm looking at the flowers. And I'm asking: Does she actually need me to interfere? This week, my answer is: No. She's balanced. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's maintaining good structure. So we're leaving her alone. We're letting her keep the leaves she's chosen to keep. We're letting her maintain the architecture she's built. We're letting her be what she is. And honestly... I think that's beautiful. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Beautiful The flowering sites are now much more established. What started as tiny clusters of pistils has become unmistakable developing flowers. And the photographs this week really capture the details I love about Candy Rain. The calyxes are becoming increasingly pronounced. The fresh white hairs are still beautifully visible, reaching outward from the developing flowers. The flower structures are gaining definition. And the whole plant seems to be moving deeper into that stage where every week brings another visible change. This is one of my favourite moments in a grow. You're past the initial excitement of seeing the first pistils... but you're not yet at the final destination. You're somewhere in between. The flowers are telling you: "Wait. We're not finished yet." And I'm listening. ? Those White Hairs... I have to say it. I absolutely love the pistils on this plant. There is something incredibly elegant about those fresh white hairs emerging from the calyxes. They give the flowers that almost delicate appearance. And when you look closely at the photographs, you can see how much detail is already developing. This is where macro photography becomes particularly rewarding. You can look at the plant from a distance and think: "Beautiful flowers." Then you get closer... and suddenly you're looking at an entire microscopic landscape. Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Early resin development. Textures. Patterns. It's one of the reasons I never get tired of photographing these plants. There's always another detail hiding there. 🍃 And Those Leaves... The leaves deserve their own little moment too. Because I genuinely love the foliage on this girl. They're beautifully formed. Healthy. Strong. And incredibly photogenic. The leaf structure adds so much to the overall appearance of the plant. And when you place those leaves around the developing flowers, the contrast between the green foliage and the lighter flowering structures makes the whole plant incredibly attractive. She's not just producing flowers. She's producing them inside a beautiful architecture. And that's something I really appreciate. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LED provides the primary overhead illumination, while Lumiflora contributes additional under-canopy lighting. Candy Rain's open and elegant structure makes her particularly interesting to observe under this combination. Her flowering sites are distributed through different levels of the plant, giving us another opportunity to watch how the different parts of the canopy develop as flowering progresses. But I'm deliberately avoiding making big claims before harvest. The plants will tell us. The photographs will tell us. And eventually... the finished flowers will tell us. For now, we're simply watching. And enjoying the process. 💧 Feeding the Survivor Candy Rain continues on the same flowering nutrition strategy used throughout the project. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded solution strength is approximately 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. Watering is currently approximately 1.25 L per plant per 24 hours. And visually? She's happy. That's the most important part. The plant continues developing without giving me any reason to dramatically change direction. So once again... we stay the course. 🌡️ Week 9 Conditions Current conditions for this update: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 90 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.25 L per plant / 24h The environment remains consistent. And consistency is particularly valuable when we're trying to understand phenotype expression. The room stays relatively predictable. The plants remain unpredictable. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so much fun. 📸 This Week's Gallery I really like this week's gallery because it doesn't need any dramatic story attached to it. The photographs speak for themselves. You see the beautiful green leaves. You see the clean structure. You see the flowering sites distributed along the branches. Then you get closer... and suddenly the calyxes become the stars. The white pistils. The developing flower structures. The subtle beginnings of resin. The textures. The tiny details. Everything is telling the same story: Candy Rain is developing beautifully. And perhaps my favourite part is that she isn't doing anything complicated. She's not demanding a special intervention. She's not asking me to reshape her. She's simply growing. And I'm letting her. 🍬 The Elegant Survivor Has Become the Elegant Grower There's something poetic about this plant's story. She started this project because she was the one that remained. I made a mistake. Her sister didn't get the opportunity. Candy Rain did. And instead of simply surviving... she took that opportunity and turned it into something beautiful. Week after week, she developed. She stretched. She flowered. She built structure. And now she's standing here at Week 9 looking like she was always meant to be part of this adventure. That's something growing teaches you again and again. You don't always know which plant will capture your attention. Sometimes it's the biggest. Sometimes it's the weirdest. Sometimes it's the one with the most unusual phenotype. And sometimes... it's simply the one that quietly keeps getting better. Candy Rain is that girl for me. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now I'm genuinely curious. Where does she go from here? The structure is already beautiful. The flowers are clearly established. The calyxes are developing. The pistils remain fresh and abundant. And the plant is still carrying itself with that wonderfully balanced appearance. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to start removing things simply because I think I should. I'm going to watch. I'm going to photograph. I'm going to document. And I'm going to let her tell me when she's ready for the next chapter. Maybe she'll surprise me again. Wouldn't be the first time. 😄 ✨ Let Candy Rain Shine There are plants you train. There are plants you guide. There are plants you have to constantly manage. And then there are plants where you eventually realize: "You know what? I've done enough. Now show me what you can do." That's Candy Rain. This week, no defoliation. No unnecessary intervention. No attempt to change her. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's beautiful. She's flowering. And she's doing exactly what I want her to do. So now... let her be. Let those leaves work. Let those calyxes develop. Let those beautiful white pistils continue appearing. Let those flowers build. Let the plant follow her own rhythm. Because sometimes the most beautiful thing a grower can do... is simply step back and watch. And Candy Rain? She's giving me a damn good show. 🍬💚✨ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 9. The little survivor is no longer just surviving. She's thriving. She's become one of those plants I genuinely enjoy photographing because every angle gives me something different. The green. The leaves. The structure. The flowers. The calyxes. The white hairs. The balance. There's so much to appreciate here. And I don't know yet exactly where she's going. That's the exciting part. Maybe she'll bulk dramatically. Maybe she'll continue developing slowly and elegantly. Maybe she'll surprise me with something completely unexpected. Whatever happens... I'm here to watch it. Because Candy Rain has already taught me something important: Never underestimate the survivor. 🍬✨ She was the one who remained. Now she's the one making me stop and look. And this week, she doesn't need a haircut. She doesn't need a redesign. She doesn't need to become anything else. She just needs to be Candy Rain. And honestly? That's more than enough. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure, commenting, asking questions, sharing experiences and coming back every week to watch these plants develop. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics that gave us this beautiful survivor. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering nutrition throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the lighting driving this room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another variable to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every week adds another little piece to the story. And Candy Rain? She keeps writing hers beautifully. The survivor. The elegant one. The beautifully balanced one. The girl with the gorgeous calyxes and those beautiful white hairs. And now... the girl I'm simply going to let shine. 🍬✨💚 Growers Love! 💚🌱

Well here we are day 44 of flower Day 98 total and this girl is happy.. she's leaning like the Tower of Pisa due to one exceptionally heavy branch but that's why I use Silica hopefully she stands tough... She still bulking up still mostly white hairs I'm going to probably feed for another week tops maybe just two more feeds and then I'll feed straight water not flush it at first but after two feeds of water I'm going to start flushing around... People say it's bro science about flushing all I'm going to say is I have flushed and I have not flushed and I can tell a difference personally.. also why waste your nutrients when the plant has plenty of nutrients already built up inside her so she could feed off herself for the last two weeks or so... Big shout out to SEEDSMAN for the opportunity in the awesome genetics.. by the way this girl stinks in the best way possible I'm getting nervous because late flower she's going to be really stinky and I'm going to get a call from my landlord again 😂 .. hope everyone is doing great and so are their plants.. happy growing ✌️😎

the plants look like they will be ready in 2-3 weeks i only give bloom booster and calmag from here

This week brought some challenges—I discovered thrips on the leaves of my plant. Thankfully, the infestation isn’t too severe yet, and I acted quickly to address the issue: 1. Sprayed the plant with plain water to knock off any pests. 2. Removed the top layer of soil. 3. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat as a protective measure. I really hope this will help. After reading up on these nasty pests, I learned that they can completely devastate the leaves if left unchecked. Unfortunately, I have only myself to blame for their appearance. Due to the cold weather, I’ve been using a heater in the room with my growbox, which has caused the humidity to drop significantly. It sometimes dips as low as 30%, and it rarely goes above 50%. Most of the time, the humidity hovers around 35-40%, which is an ideal breeding ground for thrips. To answer the obvious question—yes, I do have a humidifier. However, my growbox has a very powerful exhaust fan (315 m³/h for an 80x80 space), so the air is refreshed too quickly for the humidifier to make a lasting difference. Aside from fighting thrips, I also made some adjustments to my grow this week. On Day 20, I did a little LST. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on using any training techniques in this grow, but I decided to give it a try anyway. One thing I can say for sure—I want to skip LST in my next grow. It’s quite inconvenient to water the plant when the leaves are practically touching the soil. Additionally, I defoliated the first two sets of leaves. I felt this was necessary to improve airflow around the plant and reduce the risk of pests spreading further. Watering: Day 17: 400 ml Day 20: 500 ml I’m keeping a close eye on the plant and hope to overcome these challenges successfully.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

.

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

This week was very well, the girl showed her first pistils and she's stronger and healthier than ever, so: Day 30 sprayed with bioprotect Day 31 watered with 3l of water with 6 ml of bh, bg an a-v Day 33 The first pistils are appearing sign that blooming phase has begun. Day 34 water with the mix Day 35 I've turned on the dehumidifier trying to decrease the humidity and starting to defoliated some lower leaves, 3/4 leaves per day stress the plant to much. See you next week Happy growing

What's up fellow growmies! I hope all is well with your grows! This week progressed like usual, they actually are starting to pre-flower and growing stigmas. Its like clock work with these autos July 1st marked a complete year in growing and each time I've grown autos they always start to transition to flower in week 5/6. Its hard to believe it has been a complete year for me💪🏾 I have gained so much knowledge and received so much help from this community and I really appreciate it. It seems like yesterday I was frantically worrying about everything. Although I have much to learn I think I pretty much have it down to a science. This last year I have grown 4 different strains 2 times each. On my current grow I have stopped obsessing over watering, one thing I am learning is that watering until run off is not really needed, unless you want to test the ppm/ph of said run-off, otherwise you are just wasting water. I start off with 1 liter of water per plant, and as they grow I make my way up to 2 liters. It appears to be the sweet spot especially for the 5 gallon pots, after about 2 liters I start to see run-off in the 3gallon pots I see it after about 1.5 liters of water. I am still using the General Hydroponics Flora Series trio, it has worked well for me. I always mix what the manufacturer recommends per gallon into a 3 gallon sprayer, so I am giving 1/3rd of the recommended dosage out of fear of nute burn or lockout. I performed LST on both Big Bud Auto plants, and one of my White Widows, the other 2 White Widows I am letting grow naturally. Stay tuned and Happy Growing!!!! 🤘🏾🤙🏾💪🏾

Week 6 Well, I finally have 8 tops 😎. Now it’s just a matter of keeping her growing strong and training the tops into the right position. After that is accomplished it’s show time. I am going to guess that it will take a 7-10 days for me to get her where I like it at which point I’ll let her get a few nodes taller and then flip. Main-lining takes some extra time but it is worth it imo. Cooler internals are: 6.0 pH 0.4 EC 65 F solution temp. The tent is running 71 F lights on and 68 F lights off. Humidity is 36-38%. Onward!! 😎🍻

Zdravím všetkých nadržaných pestovateľov. Toto kolo som zatiaľ veľmi spokojný, sú spokojné a netrpia zatiaľ, tento 3 týždeň ich bude čakať veľká zálievka 2,2 l Hnojky ostávajú 2ml na 1 L Ph zostáva na 5.9. Čakám, aby substrát preschol a môžem Hnojiť, pri zalievaní sa snažím postupne liať a nie všetko naraz ako nadržaný 15 ročný cápek čo má péro ako Eiffelova veža. Pridal som výrobené košíky na odtok do podtacky , ešte som zistil, že ich prerobim aby sa lepšie hýbalo nimi.Vidím mierne krútenie taco listy dal som silnejšie svietiť svetlo a je možné, že som ich popálil ale pri 2,2 L zálievky som dal Vitamax 2ml na 1l čiže som dal veľa ťažke listy môžu reagovať aj na veľa Vitamaxu Plus popálenie svetlom Čakám ako to bude ďalej. Hľadal som príčiny suchý vzduch, silný ventilátor priamo fúkal málo vlhkosti, opravil som moje chyby a čakám ďalej ako sa im bude dariť. Cookies gelato iný strein iná zábava . Výhoda každého growu je nové skúsenosti ešte, že to nie je automat.Držte palce zdravý kutil.

Smoothie seems to have quit growing in height and are budding out. Pineapple Express seems to keep growing and bushing out, slow to flower. Sweet gelato is bushing out and began budding this week.

Week 5
