Everything is fine, dear. We plan to become beautiful flowers. Need to wait another month.

------------------------- | BLUEBERRY HARVEST | ------------------------- After two sunny days it is harvest time !! - Finally, 16 days of flush - At first thought, the trimming would be easier compared to my previous plants, but when removing more leaves, more buds appearing too hahaha so it took like 4 hours or more..It is not the most accuurate trimming but i had not much time that day, i removed all the leaves and branches after weighting it all.. Like i said on the last post, im harvesting having in mind my bud preferences (the later the better), weather, humidity and sunlight, so the first of the cloudy/rainy days she was chopped in the moring, attending the principle of thc regeneration at night.. Got to say that, i wasnt expecting such production (8 days until it was well dried), this plant started as the season saver because the Cheese started to flower in march, revegged etc.. and i have been rewarded with this BB, a true genetic portent !! If i could, i would keep her as mother forever ^^ The quality is awesome, she looks more like a WW talking about that coat of thc.. Flavour without proper cure, is deep earthy at first, transitioning to a fruity, sweet one, it is a pleasure to smoke, delicious sweet aftertaste.. Maybe, this is the last year with this awesome climate, because im planning to leave Spain.. Thank you for follow and check !!! I hope you liked the diary :) Song of the week : Radiohead - Codex Good Vibes GrowDiaries !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 000000000000

First day of week 6, i have to say these ladies are FASTTT! VPD 1.15-1.23 lights on VPD 0.97-1.05 lights off. The 70x70 area is 101% covered although id say 72x72cm because i added some self made growbox wall extenders i have started thinking adding the trellis net now or some days later to tilt the colas alittle just slightly for better light absorbtion for lower buds under the main shoots isnt a bad idea,under canopy view is magazine cover worthy MAN :D as you can see they are on fabric pots above plastic draining pot holders, the runoff is collected downthere and each of the pot holder has a plastic tube glued with water resistant superglue so after every water all the runoff water is collected from a pump with just a push of a button, the irrigation watering system is also connected and works pretty nice i have been giving them the water also by a simple push of a button with irrigation seem to love it (its not a automatic feeder connected to a reservuar i have two waterpumps one for watering one for collecting runoff i simply put the water intake plastic tube in my water bucket & press the button manualy, worth mentioning all of them have been reciving the same nutrient solution and same water although pheno#1 have been streching 4-6cm more than her sisters and she developed abit of blueish leafs even the soil in all 4 pots was from the same 2 soil bags and mixed very well before filling them so soil manifacturer excess nitrogen mistake is also not possible, i feel it is the phenotype but just to make sure there will be no excess nitrogen in the end i watered her with the exact same water amount as her sisters but 260ppm less for her this time just to make sure the blue is gone soon.she will be fine and emerald in few days. From today the UV FROST is ON from now too. Oh i forgot to mention thrueout the diary they where never topped only trained with these red clips besides the pheno3 that came topped "from god" since sprout and i wouldnt recommend topping autos (btw pheno 3 is a monster and smells wayy more LOUDA than the siblings.) although the pheno1 remains the main subject further on she got fuel to shoot for the stars and we rlly dont want that in this compact mini research area dont curse me for the substrate choice :D this stuff translates a bit of that earthy taste to the buds and way less attention than coco.

🌿 C99 (Cinderella 99) – End of Week 2: Repotting Day & Into the Final Home! Weekly Update: The little C99 has been developing brilliantly over the past two weeks. However, the small starter cup (Red Solo Cup) reached its absolute limit—during repotting, a gorgeous, dense, and healthy white root system was revealed, having completely root-bound the cup. Time for the next big step! 🚀 Setup & Details: Container: Upgraded from the small cup to an 8.5-liter final pot Medium: Freshly mixed 50/50 Coco-Perlite mix (ideal for maximum aeration and drainage) Special Feature: An Airdome is installed at the bottom to supply the root zone with extra oxygen. Lighting (PPFD): Stable at 400 PPFD Feeding / Watering: Thoroughly watered in right after repotting with an EC of 1.4 and a pH of 5.8. Observations: The plant shows strong vigor, though it was starting to show slightly lighter leaves in the old cup as the nutrients were running low. The fresh coco/perlite mix combined with the tuned EC of 1.4 and pH 5.8 gives her the exact fuel boost she needs. The roots look pristine, and thanks to the Airdome and the increased volume, she is ready to explode in growth. Ready for Week 3! 🌿✨

Hi guys So end of week 4 and entering week 5 now. Few issues this week with the feeding of the plants. Dark phoenix are hungry well half of the plants are anyway 🤔🤷‍♂️ so I upped the feed to 1200ppm the dark phoenix didnt mind it as it needed it but my blue cheese suffered and has significant burnt tips on every leaf 😅 I will disconnect this from the auto feeder and flush and add half nutes by hand in a few days. Othere than that the plants buds are growing and getting frosty. Thanks for looking and happy growing guys👌💪💚 Day 37 flower I changed the marshydro tsl2000 to a 400watt hps to finish the job on the scrog along with the bloomplus bp2500 250watt led light. So cheese got burnt quite bad I totally disconnected it from auto pot system and feeding ph 6.5 water only for a week. Dark phoenix is really frosty now still loads of pistils standing on end and filling out now and smells amazing. The next 2 weeks I will keep feeding bloom and top max then I will start the flush on them. Happy growing guys.

The girls are doin pretty good this week. Finished off L.S.T. earlier in the week. Applied first re-amendment of nutes, not including the compost tea from last week. Turned the light almost all the way up. Hoping to flatten out the canopy with a trellis net. There doesn't seem to be deficiencies on the new growth, and they're going full steam ahead so I'm happy about that.

This week I assembled the new 48x48x80 Mars Hydro tent and installed the new FOHSE Aries 600W LED light. I set the dim to 75%, but after two days, it was clearly too much, especially for 20 hours per day. I will dim it way down and shorten the hours until the plants appear to be doing better.

.

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Little bit early on this week but as I’m travelling to Amsterdam today I’d like to get it updated today. Heatwave has finally gone, temps dialled in perfectly now. Hopefully with the temps dropped they will start to go purple for that bag appeal! Added another inside the flower tent and starting a separate diary on it. Don’t miss out on that one that strain is 🔥

Smells like Rubber bands coated in a berry sugar or berry sryup very interesting on the nose! Harvested day 67 ish maybe a couple more hard ot tell outdoor Split the harvest into drying buds and some to made into fresh frozen hash. i can dry weigh the fresh frozen buds and put that weight in the wet section and i will put the to smoke buds in the dry weight section so total between the two will be the whole plant Drying was a big mishap got condensation around day 10 of drying and it caused some mold 🤦‍♂️ right around the time i was going to cure! Found a peroxide soak that ill post butt it seemed to take off all the mold without affecting tricomb heads! Had to re dry for another week afterward i feel like the re dry maybe messed with the terps because it definitely never got the smell back like i thought but who knows slmost 3 weeks into cure coukd get better but doubt it

Our Do si Dos F1 Hybrid Autoflowering from Zamnesia are in great shape at the moment, they had a bit of a hesitant start but now they are in line or even better than others. They have done so well this last week (I love when they start like a rocket after having fueled up with fertilizers) that we have already reached the good internode for topping autoflowering plants which if you want to do it guys it should be anticipated as much as possible as I explain below. The other one will fly away straight to preserve the main cola which is the main dilemma of topping. The first question you have to ask yourself when topping is, Are you ready to give up the main cola? Applied Techniques - Given the numerous requests from growers, we decided to show you what happens when applying topping + Lst to autoflowering plants. It is very important to anticipate it as much as possible, autoflowering plants go into flowering at about the 5th intenod, you have to anticipate that moment to give the plant the chance to vegetate as much as possible. In general, when you see that there are two good lateral branches you can do topping, they will go into veg as much as possible and you will have a split plant, I have seen very beautiful results, especially in warm periods in which the plant tends to vegetate a lot, in winter we could have a bit of dwarfism but with a lot of resin for sure. So I cleaned everything and cut at the top leaving only the main growth line, called Main Lining, the florets will be lowered during growth and the plant will eventually be like "split" in the main line with the various branches. On photoperiodic plants, however, we will do topping repeatedly, which is not recommended with autoflowering plants so as not to lengthen the times of plants born to finish in 10 weeks too much. The second week (including a few days of germination) we gave Power Roots 1 ml/l, Pure Zym 1 ml/l, Sugar Royal 1 ml/l, Alga Grow 3 ml/l - Plagron nutrients are available at Zamnesia in convenient pack formats for all growing styles.

Hey fellow green thumbs! 🌿💚 We’ve just wrapped up the third week of flowering with our Auto Fast Pete and Auto Northern Dragon Fuel from Super Sativa Seed Club. The excitement continues as our ladies flourish and develop beautifully. Let’s dive into the details! 🌟 Week 7 (Third Week of Flower) Progress: Day 43-45: Bud Development and Light Schedule Change • Auto Fast Pete: Pete is continuing to bulk up, . The aroma is intensifying, and the plant is stretching slightly under the new light schedule. 🌿🌸 • Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: Dragon Fuel is showing impressive bud development as well. The change in light schedule hasn’t slowed her down one bit. 🌱✨ Day 46-48: Adjusting to 12/12 Light Schedule • Light Schedule Change: This week, we changed the light schedule to 12/12 due to another autoflower in the tent that wasn’t flipping. We couldn’t take any risks, so now all our plants are on a 12/12 schedule. This adjustment has been seamless, and our ladies are adapting well. 💡🕛 • Environmental Conditions: • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 51% • Reservoir Details: • TDS: 400 • Temperature: 18°C • pH: 6.2 Maintaining these conditions to optimize bud development and plant health. 🌡️💧 Day 49: Observing and Fine-Tuning • Auto Fast Pete: The buds are continuing to grow and mature. The plant’s overall health is excellent, with vibrant green leaves and strong stems. 🌿🌼 • Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: The bud sites are more defined, and the plant is showing no signs of stress. The foliage is lush, and the buds are dense and sticky. 🌱🌟 🌟 Care Tips: • Light: Adjusted to a 12/12 light schedule to ensure consistent flowering across all plants in the tent. The plants are responding well to the change, with no signs of stress. 💡 • Autopot System: The Autopot system ensures a steady water supply, reducing the need for frequent manual watering. This system is great for maintaining consistent soil moisture, which is crucial during the flowering phase. 🌊 • Nutrient Monitoring: Keeping an eye on the reservoir’s TDS and pH levels to ensure the plants receive the right amount of nutrients and minerals. This week, we’re focusing on organic soil nutrition supplemented with regulator and CalMag. 🌿 • Environment Control: Maintaining a stable temperature of 31°C and humidity around 51% to create the perfect conditions for flowering. Adjusting airflow and positioning to optimize plant health. 🌡️💧 🌟 Genetics Spotlight: Auto Fast Pete: • Characteristics: Rapid bud development, strong structure, and early resin production. This strain is living up to its name with a fast and vigorous flowering phase. • Future Expectations: Continued bud swelling and resin production. Anticipate dense, aromatic flowers ready for harvest in the coming weeks. Auto Northern Dragon Fuel: • Characteristics: Robust structure, dense bud sites, and resilience. This strain is showing great promise for a high yield and potent flowers. • Future Expectations: Significant bud growth and increased resin production. This plant is gearing up for a heavy yield. 🌍🌿 Fun Fact: Did you know? 🌿✨ A 12/12 light schedule is typically used to induce flowering in photoperiod plants, but autoflowers can still thrive under this schedule, especially when sharing a space with other plants that need the light cycle adjustment. For all the in-depth action and detailed explanations, head over to my YouTube channel! 🎥✨ I’m sharing all the tips, tricks, and step-by-step guides to help you get the best results from your grow.

Flower tent is ac infinity 4x8 tent. With two spider farmer sf-4000. This tent has the exhale 360 co2 grow bag. The nutrients are not what each plant receives. Each stage gets its appropriate nutrients. I will be going back and trying to name each plant in the 2-7 feeding

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 2 Flower 🍬 The Elegant Survivor There are plants that grow fast. There are plants that grow big. And then there are plants that simply have style. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants. As the only survivor from this seed pack — with the loss of her sister being entirely my own mistake — she has every reason to be remembered as the little plant that almost didn't make it. Instead, she's proving me wrong. Week after week, Candy Rain has continued developing into something I honestly wasn't expecting. She's tall, graceful, incredibly lush, and has developed an elegant structure that is becoming more and more impressive with every update. Beautiful green leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Beautiful structure. And an attitude that seems to say: "You didn't expect this one, did you?" 😄 Well, Candy Rain... You have my attention now. 🌸 Week 2 Flower – She's Finally Showing Her Character Candy Rain has now entered her second week of flowering, and the transformation is becoming much more obvious. Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has developed a wonderfully vertical and elegant structure. Rather than becoming overly dense or chaotic, her branches have naturally arranged themselves throughout the canopy, creating plenty of space between flowering sites. The flowers are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the plant, with multiple flowering sites already clearly established along the branches. The little flowers from last week are beginning to look much more like proper developing buds now. And the most impressive part? The plant looks incredibly comfortable. The foliage is lush and beautifully green, the leaves are reaching naturally toward the light, and the entire plant has that healthy, energetic appearance that every grower loves to see. She's not fighting her environment. She's enjoying it. 🌿 Plant Development – Elegance Over Everything Candy Rain has developed a very particular personality. She's not a compact little plant trying to hide between the others. She's tall. She's open. She's graceful. She's almost elegant. The earlier Low Stress Training helped establish an open framework, but at this stage I'm mostly allowing her natural growth to speak for itself. Her long branches carry flowering sites beautifully, while the fan leaves remain healthy and functional throughout the plant. Looking at her now, it's almost difficult to believe this is the same plant that started this project so slowly. She has gone from the survivor I was simply happy to keep alive... to a plant that now deserves her own spotlight. And honestly, I couldn't be happier about it. 🍃 A Beautiful Canopy One of the things that really stands out this week is the quality of the foliage. The leaves are a beautiful deep green, with strong structure and excellent development. There is a real elegance to the way they extend from the branches and surround the developing flowers. She's lush without looking messy. She's full without looking overcrowded. And the flowering sites remain visible throughout the structure. That's exactly the kind of development I like to see during this stage. Instead of forcing her into a particular shape, I'm letting Candy Rain show me what her genetics want to do. And so far... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Feeding Program Candy Rain continues on the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding includes: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.25 L per 24 hours She's responding beautifully to the current program. The foliage remains strong and balanced, flowering continues progressing naturally, and there are no obvious signs of nutritional stress in the photos. 🌡️ Environment The flowering environment remains stable: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this project. Candy Rain isn't having to constantly adapt to major environmental changes. Instead, she can simply concentrate on what she needs to do now: grow, stretch, flower, and build. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main light source from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting is now part of Candy Rain's flowering environment. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like this. Because Candy Rain has such an open, vertical structure, there are flowering sites positioned at different levels throughout the plant. The coming weeks will be fascinating. I'm especially interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop as flowering progresses and how the additional under-canopy illumination contributes to the overall structure. But as always... I'm not going to make promises before harvest. We'll let the plant tell us. 🍬 Phenotype Thoughts – The Survivor Has Something to Say This is probably the most enjoyable part of this week's update. Candy Rain was never supposed to become the star of this folder. She was simply the one that remained. And now? She's standing there looking absolutely beautiful. Tall. Lush. Healthy. Elegant. Covered in developing flowers. The irony isn't lost on me. I made the mistake that cost her sister her chance in this project. Candy Rain was the one left behind, and instead of letting that define her story, she's completely written her own. This is one of the reasons I love growing. You can have expectations. You can have plans. You can have an idea of which plants will impress you. And then one plant quietly comes along and says: "Watch me." Candy Rain is doing exactly that. 🔭 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be particularly exciting. The stretch will eventually slow down, and more of her energy will move toward building the flowers that are now developing all across her branches. Those beautiful white pistils should continue multiplying, the flowers should begin gaining more volume, and the plant's final structure will become much easier to judge. I'm also very curious to see how she responds to the combination of the overhead Black Series lighting and Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the flowers continue developing. For now, though, there is absolutely nothing I want to rush. Candy Rain has already taught me that lesson. Give her time. She'll decide what she wants to become. ❤️ Final Thoughts – From Survivor to Showstopper? I started this diary thinking Candy Rain would simply be the plant that survived. Now I'm starting to wonder if she might become something much more memorable. She has gone from a slow beginning to a beautifully structured, tall and elegant flowering plant. And every time I look at her, I find something new to appreciate. The leaves. The structure. The flowering sites. The colour. The way she carries herself. She has become the elegant survivor. And perhaps that's the best part of the whole story. Sometimes the plant you didn't expect anything from becomes the plant you end up watching the closest. Candy Rain... You deserve to shine. 🍬✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these genetics, Plagron for the flowering nutrition program, Future of Grow for the Black Series LED, and Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this adventure. And, of course, a massive thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing the journey with me. Candy Rain may have started this chapter as the solo survivor... but she's certainly not looking like a survivor anymore. She's looking like she belongs here. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Hey there growmies from around the world, we are back! I hope everyone had a wonderful week, and everyone’s gardens are doing fantastic! It is week 11, let’s get into it! Back to the canopy we went this week as I had to get in there to maintain that shrubbery! it’s unfortunate, I didn’t have the same amount of time that I had last week to spend in the tent (at any one given time I mean) and I had to choose between defoliating and continuing to tie everything down to further expand the reach of that canopy. I chose the latter…. Hindsight being 20/20, I probably should have just defoliated first… In doing that , I would’ve improved the airflow, increased the visibility (for when it came time to tie stuff down) and would have just cleared it out a bit making it easier for me to tie things down and weave the plant through the net with LESS fear of damaging the plant. But alas, hopefully this is just something I’ll remember the next time I am faced with this decision….🤷‍♂️🏻 So despite all that I said above, I DID decide to tie everything down- it went well but felt a bit rushed. I got more done than I originally thought so that’s a plus! The rock candy cake is doing excellent though, it seems to be liking the future harvest nutrients, as do the fast buds (they really had some substantial growth this past week) The next few weeks will certainly be a test of patience, I kind of just have to let the plant do its thing while I wait for the canopy to fill out that net. She’s doing a beautiful job so far, but we still have a while yet (especially due to the fact that when I moved her into the 5x5, and had to scrog it all over again- she is no longer center so I still have a bit more to go on that one side) to tell you the truth, I’m probably more curious about what I’m going to do to keep it going on the short side.. we shall see.. sounds like next weeks problem. Something else I plan on doing is that much needed defoliation I was talking about- I might wait two more days just to make sure we are all good after yesterdays antics (the tie down) other than that,I think we will just have to see what’s in store for us this upcoming week, hopefully some insane growth, but I’ll take any progress haha just gotta keep moving forward! Either way, I am having an absolute blast and I hope to see my growmies here for week 12! As always, I hope you are all killin it in your gardens and are able to enjoy only the most bountiful harvests! Later everyone!! 💚🤙🌱
