Week 10, Week 10 has been fun. The buds are becoming denser and starting to almost look like a finished product. I am planning on harvesting the plant the first week of next month, so three weeks or so and counting! I am adjusting the tie downs twice a week trying to get the buds as much sunlight as possible. I am watering every 3 days with 6.0 ph water. I have been putting a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water with a tablespoon of molasses mixed in but it appears she received a little nutrient burn. I'm not to worried about it because I wanted to make sure the flower sites received enough nutrients to make some dense dank buds. It isn't a huge burn but a little. As a result I started mixing only half a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water to make sure any future burn doesn't happen. I am excited about the plant, she is starting to look like a thiccy ha I am probably going to starting flushing in three weeks. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns/comments. Happy growing Growmies 🙌

25/8 Start of week 4 from seed I believe, plant 1, being fed 'Easy Boost Organic Combo' has the dry mix stuff in the Coco, added the 'part 2' tablet ended up mixing with 4L of water, says it lasts a week mixed up so I gave her about 0.5L today as she was really dried out. Plant 2, being fed 'Canna' colour seems to be getting better, I'm going to continue giving her canna CalMag & Rhizotonic' until she looks like she wants a bit more. All going well though, both plants are still alive after their topping! 🤞🌱💚 Man I need a bong now 🔥💚 26/8 both plants recovering well after being topped. Not been watered or fed since yesterday, will wait until they are drier. Plant 1 is going to be a lot more short and bushy by the looks of it (which is what I need in grow space). 27/8 plant 1 recovered a little faster, shed almost picture perfect, happy 1 plant 1 though. No feed or water again today 28/8 think I seriously overwatered plant 1 😂🙈 live and learn. Going to let her rest for a couple more days. plant 2 doing really well, unwilling start LST soon and possibly top a couple of sites early next week 29/8 plant 2 is taking off again, I've started LST on both of them. #1 is not as developed, I removed a few leaves off her today as they were preventing proper airflow. Plant 2 has been fed for the first time in a while, plant 1 has had a tiny bit of water 30/8 had every intention of transplanting both girls, however I only had enough coco for 1. Decided to transplant #2 in to 7Gal fabric pots as she is the most developed. Both have roots starting to push through the bottom of the old pots, may have left it a couple of days too long. 31/8 Coco coir never arrived for plant 1 so I'm hoping it come tomorrow. Plant 2 has been topped quite a few times today letting her rest now. Not sure what plant 1 is doing it could me getting root bound? Gave plant 2 some calmag water, nothing for plant 1

3rd week of flower , I’ve started the boost at 1.5ml per litre , both my lights are about 6-7” away from the tops of the plants and are not causing any issues . I’ve lowered my humidity to 45% in the day and about 55% at night , had to purchase a decent dehumidifier and put it outside the tent . Gave them there last lollipop and defoliation on end of week 3 .Will only take some fans leaves off when needed from now

✂️ Die Strawberry Banana von Fastbuds hat ihr Ziel erreicht. Nach 13 Wochen ist die Zeit der Blüte vorbei und der Übergang zur Ernte vollzogen. Die Pflanze wurde erfolgreich umgelegt und befindet sich nun im Trocknungsprozess. 📋Mit einer finalen Höhe von 58 cm ist die Pflanze zwar kompakt geblieben, hat aber eine solide Blütenstruktur entwickelt. Auf den Bildern zeigen sich gesund ausgebildete Buds mit einer insgesamt grünen Blattfärbung, die in den letzten Tagen der Reife natürlich leicht verblasst ist. Die Struktur ist offen und luftig, was bei der Trocknung definitiv von Vorteil ist, da so die Luft gut zirkulieren kann und Schimmel kaum eine Chance hat. 📸 Der Blick auf die Details bestätigt die Entscheidung zur Ernte: Die Blütenstände sind dicht und zeigen eine ordentliche Harzbesatzung. Die Pflanze wurde im Ganzen aufgehängt, um eine gleichmäßige Trocknung zu gewährleisten. Jetzt heißt es Geduld haben, bis die Stängel beim Biegen brechen statt sich nur zu biegen. Dann geht es ab in die Gläser zum Curing, um das Terpenprofil der Strawberry Banana richtig zur Geltung zu bringen. Ein solider Abschluss für diesen Run.

Hey growmies, I hope you are all well and growing good👍 This week hasn't seen much change in appearance for this lovely girl, some light pinky purple tips showing up on the tops of some buds. More purple slowly appears after each night. A little bit of fattening up but maybe not quite as much as I hoped. Her aroma has got slightly stronger 👍 she smells like a lovely vanilla and orange cookie. Trying not to touch her and disturb but I can't help it sometimes lol she is super sticky and kicks out a really sweet smell. I like her colours so far, can definitely see the wedding cake genetics coming though 😀 Node spacing a bit larger than hoped and buds are not fat but they are very dense and frosty. But never mind I still have 2 more of these seeds to try and find a keeper from 🤞 That's all for now my friends. I will probably updating this diary now after Christmas. I will also been starting a few new diaries soon with new set ups and an updated seed collection 👍 I'm very excited for next year's grows! Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it, you growmies are awesome!!! Merry Christmas to everyone!! I hope you all have plenty stock of your favourite Christmas trees 🎄😉 Peace

Zdarec pěstiči, čtvrtý týden utekl, cipa jsem dost dodrbal abych ho zpomalil ale nevypadá že by to nesl nějak špatně i když sem dojebal jednu větvičku a musela pryč Bonboňák krásně dohání ten týden zpoždění, jen jsem šoupnul plachťáky pod vrcholky a dole střihnul listy co nechytí světlo. Jelikož mi fishmix ucpává pipetu leju jen od oka ale holkám to evidentně nedělá problémy. Zatím Čus.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia – Week 9 | The Girl Who Refuses to Hurry Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 At this point, I think we can officially stop pretending that Passion Fruitz is going to hurry up. She's not. 😂🍑 We're now at week 9 from seed, and this girl has been showing signs of flowering for roughly three weeks. Three weeks. And somehow, when I look at her, I get the feeling she's still thinking about whether she really wants to commit to the idea. She's giving us the same message she's been giving us for weeks: “I'm getting there. Relax.” And honestly? I've learned to listen. Because while Passion Fruitz may be incredibly slow compared with the rest of the tent, she's certainly not doing nothing. She's building. She's growing. She's staying beautiful. And she's giving us another fascinating example of just how differently genetics can behave when they're given the same environment. 🐌 The Slowest Girl in the Room If you've been following this phenotype from the beginning, you already know her reputation. Passion Fruitz is slow. Not a little slow. Not slightly behind. We're talking about a plant that seems to have completely rejected the concept of rushing. 😂 The other plants around her have moved further into flowering, while Passion Fruitz continues to take her time. We're now several weeks into seeing those first signs of flower development, and the transition is still remarkably gradual. But here's the important part: She doesn't look unhappy. She doesn't look weak. She doesn't look like she's struggling. She's simply on her own schedule. And that distinction matters. Because this is exactly what makes a phenotype hunt so interesting. 🌱 Slow Doesn't Mean She's Standing Still Although her flowering transition has been painfully slow, the plant itself has continued developing beautifully. She's around 72 cm, with a compact, powerful structure and some absolutely beautiful foliage. And those leaves... Wow. They're big. They're beautifully formed. They're carrying that lush green colour that makes this girl so enjoyable to photograph. When I look at her, I don't see a plant that has stopped growing. I see a plant that has spent a lot of time investing in her structure. Strong branches. A dense framework. Large fan leaves. Healthy new growth. She's been building the machine. She's just taking her time deciding when to turn that machine completely toward flowers. 🍑 Three Weeks of "Almost There" This is probably the funniest part of her story right now. We've watched her start showing signs of flowering. Then we watched her continue showing signs of flowering. And now we're watching her... continue showing signs of flowering. 😂😂😂 At this point I'm starting to wonder whether Passion Fruitz has invented her own flowering stage. Maybe this is Passion Fruitz Extended Pre-Flower. But jokes aside, this is actually a fascinating observation. Under the same overall environmental strategy as the rest of the room, she's expressing a very different developmental rhythm. And that's precisely the kind of thing I wanted this project to reveal. The plants don't read the diary. They don't look at the calendar. They don't care what week everyone else is in. They follow their genetics. And this girl apparently has a very long internal calendar. 🍃 The Green I Love One thing I absolutely don't have any complaints about is her foliage. She continues to look beautiful. The colour is strong. The leaves are large. The structure is healthy. And the new growth continues looking vibrant. This is another reason I'm not interested in trying to force her into somebody else's timeline. If the plant is healthy and continuing to develop, then there is value in simply observing. I don't need to make her flower faster just because the plants beside her are further ahead. The entire point is to see what she wants to do. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson very easy. 🌿 A Structure Worth Looking At The more I photograph this girl, the more I appreciate her architecture. She's not a giant plant. She's not trying to reach the ceiling. But she's compact, sturdy and beautifully built. The large fan leaves give her an almost tropical appearance, while the branching structure underneath shows just how much development has happened before the flowering phase really got moving. There is something quite satisfying about seeing a plant like this. She's essentially saying: “I may be late, but when I arrive, I'll have something to show you.” And now I'm genuinely curious whether that's exactly what she's planning. 📸 Back to the Studio This week I decided Passion Fruitz deserved another trip to the studio. And I'm glad I did. Sometimes when you're looking at plants inside the tent, surrounded by lights, equipment and twenty-plus other plants, it's easy to overlook the individual beauty of one phenotype. Put her on her own... and suddenly you notice everything. The size of those leaves. The colour. The spacing. The branching. The little details in the new growth. The personality of the plant itself. That's one of the reasons I enjoy photography so much during this project. The camera forces me to slow down. And with Passion Fruitz... apparently we're already very good at slowing down. 😂📸🍑 💡 Same Room. Very Different Story. The 8×8 Adventure continues to prove one thing over and over again: Genetics matter. We're giving these plants the same general environment. The same lighting philosophy. The same irrigation system. The same shared reservoir. The same overall cultivation strategy. Yet Passion Fruitz has chosen a completely different timeline. Some phenotypes race into flowering. Some stretch aggressively. Some build flowers almost immediately. And Passion Fruitz? She takes her time. That's not necessarily a disadvantage. It's simply her story. And we're here to document it rather than rewrite it. 💧 Feeding & Consistency The room continues following the same flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The solution remains around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. The important thing with a phenotype like Passion Fruitz is resisting the temptation to chase her timeline with unnecessary changes. She's slow. We've established that. 😂 But she's healthy. She's growing. She's developing. So consistency remains the approach. Give her the same foundation. Watch what she does with it. And let the genetics speak. 🌡️ Environment The room remains stable: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Nothing dramatic has changed. And that consistency gives us an even better opportunity to observe just how differently this phenotype behaves. 💡 Lighting the Slow Girl The lighting strategy continues to be particularly interesting with Passion Fruitz. The overhead lighting provides the main source, while the additional lighting deeper in the canopy helps us observe what happens beyond the top layer. Her structure gives us plenty of foliage to work with, and as flowering continues to develop, I'm curious to see how those sites respond throughout the plant. Again, there is no rush. We're simply watching. And documenting. And waiting. Patiently. Very patiently. 😂🍑 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this point, my biggest question is incredibly simple: How long is Passion Fruitz actually going to take? We're entering week 9 from seed. We've been watching flowering signs for around three weeks. And she's still moving at her own wonderfully frustrating pace. But here's the thing... I'm no longer annoyed by it. I'm fascinated. Because eventually, she will have to reveal where this story is going. Will she suddenly accelerate? Will the flower sites begin developing more rapidly? Will she remain the slowest girl in the room all the way through? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly why I'm enjoying her. 🍑 Beauty Doesn't Have a Schedule Sometimes we get so focused on timelines that we forget to look at the plant itself. Passion Fruitz may be behind the others in flowering development. But look at her. She's beautiful. Beautiful colour. Beautiful leaves. Beautiful structure. Healthy growth. And a phenotype that has already given us a completely different story from almost everything else in the room. She's not late. She's just writing a different calendar. And I'm perfectly happy to keep turning the pages. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we wait. 😂 I want to see whether this slow transition finally begins accelerating. I want to see the flowering sites become more defined. I want to see whether her impressive structure translates into equally impressive flower development once she finally decides to commit. And most importantly, I want to continue documenting her exactly as she is. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. No trying to make Passion Fruitz become another phenotype. She's Passion Fruitz. And apparently, Passion Fruitz takes her sweet time. 💚 The Girl Who Makes Us Wait There are plants in this project that make you excited because they're explosive. There are plants that impress you because they're enormous. There are plants that surprise you with their colours or aromas. And then there's this girl. She makes you wait. And wait. And wait. 😂🍑 But every time I look at her, I find another detail worth appreciating. The leaves. The structure. The colour. The development. The potential. And that little question sitting in the back of my mind: “What happens when this girl finally decides it's time?” That's what I'm waiting for. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. And another reminder that plants don't care about our schedules. Passion Fruitz continues to be the slowest girl in the room, and at this point, I think she's earned the title permanently. 😂🍑 But slow doesn't mean uninteresting. Quite the opposite. She's giving us one of the most unique stories in the entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where we can document these journeys, learn from one another and share the results. 🍑 Zamnesia — for the Passion Fruitz genetics that gave us this wonderfully patient phenotype. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the garden throughout the cycle. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the room. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable environment. ✨ LumiFlora — for the additional lighting helping us explore development deeper into the canopy. And of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here every week, dropping a comment, asking questions, sharing your own experience, or simply watching quietly... thank you. This project wouldn't be the same without you. Passion Fruitz... Week 9 from seed. Still slow. Still beautiful. Still green. Still building. Still taking her time. And still making us wonder: “Girl... when are you actually going to flower?” 😂🍑 But that's okay. We're not going anywhere. We'll wait. Because maybe the slowest girl in the room has simply been saving her story for later. And when she finally decides to tell it... I want to be there with the camera ready. 📸🍑💚 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚

So far so good... flowering really nice... starting to smell really good... feeding her modestly and going to keep it that way... Fingers crossed 🙏

4/18 66 Days Just some progress pictures, no major changes here beyond dialing in the Blumat Maxi carrots. 4/16 64 Days Actual week, 9! If you're wondering where all my other not actually week 9 shit went, I moved it back to week 8. Who am I kidding, no one gives a shit! Everyone now has a Blumat Maxi watering carrot. Now that they are just fattening up I can scale back on them and start focusing a bit more on Phimo, who's just reached ScrOG! Two feedings of their weekly tea, Sunday and Tuesday.

Salut les Growmies, Quelle superbe aventure cette génétique de chez Exotic Seeds. Cette Zkittalicious depuis le debut m'étonne , de part sa grande vitalité .Malgré l attaque du caht , elle a reprise le dessus , elle a réagi merveilleusement bien a l entrainement que je lui ai fait subir ,LST ,Topping..... Et maintenant comme vous pouvez le voir elle développe de nombreux sites floraux et elle devient de jour en jour de plus en plus frosty. Donc en gros vous pouvez vous tourner vers Exotic Seed les yeux fermés et je lui donne une note de 9/10 pour sa vigueur, beauté, odeur pour la production on verra plus tard. Mais au vue des resultats mors de la phase croissance et debut de flo . Je m attend a de tres bons resultats 👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛Merci Exotic Seeds.

So, das war die letzte Woche, nun hängt die eine zum trocknen, die andere ist im trocken Netz, leider musste die 1. Von den 3 Zwittern, somit hab ich hier und da nen Samen mit drin.
