🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 11 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Is Bulking Up Welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š Well... Our other solo survivor is still doing exactly what she has been doing from the beginning. Her own thing. πŸ˜‚πŸ¬ And honestly? I'm really starting to love the way this girl is developing. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's putting flowers absolutely everywhere. She's developing a beautiful structure. She's maintaining that gorgeous colour. And those pistils... Oh, those pistils. 😍 They're not the bright, almost pure white we're seeing on some of the other girls. They're starting to carry a warmer, slightly yellowish tone. And against that beautiful green foliage and developing flowers? It looks absolutely gorgeous. She's becoming one of those plants where you don't need anything dramatic to happen. You just walk in... look at her... and smile. Because she's doing beautifully. πŸ¬πŸ’šβœ¨ ──────────────────────── ✨ THE SOLO SURVIVOR KEEPS SHINING ──────────────────────── I think by now we've officially moved past the "survivor" part of the story. πŸ˜‚ She survived. She established herself. She grew. She flowered. And now? She's building. Big time. Candy Rain continues to develop at her own rhythm, and what I'm really enjoying this week is how much more substantial the flowering structure is becoming. She's not simply maintaining flowers anymore. She's building them. Stacking them. Bulking them. And filling her plant with them. This girl has flowers everywhere. 🌸🌸🌸 And somehow she still maintains that elegant, calm personality we've come to know. She's not screaming for attention. She's just quietly becoming more and more impressive. And honestly... that's a beautiful way to grow. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE'S STACKING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest thing catching my attention this week. The stacking. The flowers are building on top of the structure we've been watching develop over the previous weeks. Individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly substantial. The bud structures are becoming more defined. And when you look across the plant, you start seeing flowers everywhere you look. This is the point where all those earlier weeks of development start paying off visually. The framework was built. The flowers appeared. The flowers developed. And now they're beginning to bulk. It's really satisfying to watch. Because this isn't one impressive cola doing all the work. It's the whole plant participating. Flower after flower. Branch after branch. Stack after stack. 🍬🌸πŸ”₯ ──────────────────────── πŸ’š BUDS EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── One of the things I really like about Candy Rain is how evenly she seems to be filling her space. Look around her... there are flowers everywhere. And that's what makes her so enjoyable to photograph. You can start with the whole plant. Then you find one branch. Then another. Then another flower. And suddenly you're wondering how you didn't notice all those flowers before. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ She's becoming increasingly full. The individual flowers are gaining presence. The structure is becoming more substantial. And the overall plant is starting to look like one beautiful flowering mass rather than simply a plant that happens to have flowers on it. She's getting there. And she's getting there beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌼 THOSE PISTILS... ──────────────────────── Now let's talk about something I particularly noticed this week. The pistils. 😍 They're beautiful. But they're not the same bright white we're seeing on some of the other girls. Candy Rain is giving us a slightly warmer expression. A little more yellowish. A little more golden. And against the green foliage? It's stunning. There's something about that warmer tone that gives the flowers a completely different character. It's subtle. It's not screaming for attention. But once you notice it... you keep noticing it. And that's exactly what I love about phenotype hunting. Sometimes the differences aren't enormous. Sometimes they're little details. A slightly different colour. A slightly different structure. A different rhythm. A different way of stacking. And those little differences become part of the identity of the plant. Candy Rain has her own signature. πŸ¬πŸŒΌπŸ’š ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't forget the resin. πŸ˜‚β„οΈ The flowers continue developing that beautiful frosty character. The closer you look, the more detail appears. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower structure. Texture. All those little things happening simultaneously. And this is exactly where photography becomes dangerous again. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ You take one photograph. Then you see something interesting. So you move closer. Then you see even more. And before you know it, you've been staring at one flower for ten minutes. But that's the beauty of this stage. The plants are giving us more and more detail to discover. And Candy Rain has plenty. ──────────────────────── 🌿 BEAUTIFUL COLOUR, BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST ──────────────────────── Another thing I continue to really like about this girl is the colour. Those deep greens. The flowers developing against them. The warmer pistils. The frost developing across the flower surfaces. Everything is coming together beautifully. She's got that rich, almost classic flowering-plant appearance. Nothing feels out of place. Nothing is screaming for attention. It's simply... balanced. And sometimes balance is what makes a plant beautiful. Candy Rain doesn't need to be the strangest plant in the room. She doesn't need to be the tallest. She doesn't need to have the most unusual structure. She simply needs to be herself. And she's doing that extremely well. ──────────────────────── SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT STORY. ──────────────────────── And once again, we come back to the heart of the 8Γ—8 Adventure. For anyone discovering this diary now: We're growing twelve different plants together under the same general ecosystem. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same environmental strategy. Same general nutritional program. Same grower. Same attention. And yet... look at how differently they express themselves. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some race ahead. Some take their time. Some become extremely frosty. Some build enormous structures. Some have unusual colours. And Candy Rain? She has become this beautiful, balanced, flower-loaded survivor who is now quietly bulking up all over the place. That's what makes this experiment so enjoyable. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide what they do with it. πŸ¬πŸ’š ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ MORE PHOTONS, SAME GIRL ──────────────────────── The lighting environment has also received its upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. When we first brought the extra lighting in, the available PPFD was higher than we wanted for our target. So rather than simply throwing everything at the plants... we reduced the output. We're now around: πŸ’‘ ~59% power from the plug with approximately: β˜€οΈ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on plant height and position. That's one of the things I really like about having more lighting capability. We don't have to run everything at maximum. We can have the photons available... and decide how many we actually want to use. And Candy Rain? She's receiving the same upgraded environment as everybody else. Same photons. Same room. Same conditions. And she's responding in her own way. πŸ’‘πŸŒΏπŸ¬ ──────────────────────── β˜€οΈ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING ──────────────────────── There is something really fascinating about watching twelve plants receive essentially the same artificial sun... and then seeing twelve different interpretations of it. We give them photons. They decide what to do with them. πŸ˜‚ Candy Rain is clearly putting hers to work. She's building flowers. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. And she's continuing to develop without asking us to reinvent the entire grow around her. That's exactly the kind of relationship I like with a plant. Provide. Observe. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant do the rest. πŸŒ±β˜€οΈπŸ’š ──────────────────────── βš—οΈ NUTRITION – A LITTLE MORE FUEL ──────────────────────── The nutrition has also been adjusted together with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom has moved from: 🌱 2.2 ml/L β†’ 2.3 ml/L while the rest of the flowering program remains: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L βš—οΈ pH adjustment as required That small increase has brought the solution strength up slightly. Current readings are around: βš—οΈ pH – ~6.02 ⚑ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And Candy Rain is responding beautifully. Again... nothing special just for her. No secret recipe. No different room. No special treatment. Same nutritional strategy as the rest of the girls. And she's taking it... and building. 🍬🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌑️ WEEK 11 – CURRENT CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room is currently sitting around: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 πŸ’‘ Light schedule: 12/12 🌑️ Day temperature: ~26.5Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: ~61% βš—οΈ pH: ~6.02 ⚑ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm πŸ’¦ Nutrient solution temperature: ~25Β°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25Β°C πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: ~693 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L πŸ’§ Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same upgraded lighting. Same nutritional adjustment. Same overall strategy. And Candy Rain is continuing to show us her own interpretation. πŸ¬πŸ’š ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE'S BULKING NOW ──────────────────────── This is the part I'm really enjoying. We're moving beyond: "She's flowering." We're now seeing: "She's building flowers." And that's a different feeling. The flowers are gaining volume. The structures are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. And there are so many of them. This is where the plant starts becoming visually rewarding in a completely different way. Earlier, we were watching for flower formation. Now we're watching what those flowers become. And Candy Rain is giving us plenty to watch. 🌸πŸ”₯ ──────────────────────── 🍬 THE GLAMOROUS SURVIVOR HAS EVOLVED ──────────────────────── Maybe "Glamorous Survivor" isn't quite enough anymore. πŸ˜‚ Because now she's becoming: ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Who Came to Bulk. πŸ˜‚πŸ¬πŸŒΈ She survived. She established herself. She became beautiful. She entered flowering. She developed her structure. She stacked. And now... she's bulking. There's something very satisfying about seeing that progression. Especially because we never really knew what this girl was going to become when the adventure started. She was simply the one that remained. And now she's one of the plants I genuinely look forward to checking every week. That's a pretty good evolution. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ THE CAMERA IS GOING TO HAVE FUN ──────────────────────── With the way the flowers are developing now, I already know the camera is going to have plenty of work. Wide shots will show the overall structure. Closer shots will show the stacking. And macro? πŸ˜‚ Macro is going to become dangerous again. Because those warmer pistils. Those developing trichomes. Those flower structures. That frost. The textures. All of it deserves a closer look. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants where every step closer reveals something else. And I love that. ──────────────────────── πŸ’š NO NEED TO FORCE HER ──────────────────────── One thing hasn't changed. I'm still not trying to make her into something she's not. She's healthy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's maintaining beautiful colour. She's developing exactly as we'd like to see. So... why interfere unnecessarily? At this stage, sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply keep the environment stable and let the plant finish expressing itself. We've already done the work needed to establish the structure. Now? Let her shine. Let her build. Let her show us what she's capable of. πŸ¬πŸ’šβœ¨ ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ SHE DOESN'T NEED THE CROWN ──────────────────────── And that's another thing I love about Candy Rain. She's not trying to win anything. She doesn't seem interested in competing with the other girls. She's just doing her own thing. Some of the girls are fighting for attention. Some are absolutely screaming: "LOOK AT ME!" πŸ˜‚ Candy Rain? She's standing there with her beautiful flowers and warmer pistils like: "I'm good." πŸ˜‚πŸ¬ And honestly... that's enough. She doesn't need the crown. She just needs her spotlight. And this week... she's getting it. ──────────────────────── πŸ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, my attention is going toward: 🌸 How much more will the flowers bulk? 🌿 How much more will the stacking develop? ❄️ How much more resin will appear? 🌼 How will those warmer pistil colours evolve? πŸ’š How will the foliage continue to look as the plant matures? And most importantly... how far will this beautiful survivor take her story? We're still not finished. There are still chapters left. So I'm simply watching. And enjoying. πŸ¬πŸ’š ──────────────────────── ✨ LET HER SHINE ──────────────────────── So... Week 11. Candy Rain Auto. Our other solo survivor. And she's looking fantastic. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing flowers everywhere. She's building beautiful structure. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's maintaining those gorgeous deep greens. And those slightly warmer, yellowish pistils are giving her a character all of her own. She's not trying to be another plant. She's not trying to match another phenotype. She's simply being Candy Rain. And honestly? I love it. πŸ¬πŸ’šβœ¨ So let's make her shine. Let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's appreciate what she's building. And let's see how much more she has left to show us. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. And another reminder that sometimes the most unexpected plants become some of the most enjoyable ones to follow. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind our beautiful Candy Rain survivor. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and helping us expand the lighting capability of the room. πŸ’‘πŸ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see what the girls are doing this week. It genuinely means a lot. And Candy Rain? Our solo survivor is still here. Still beautiful. Still growing. Still stacking. Still bulking. Still shining. And now... looking more and more like a girl who has decided she's going to make every flower count. 🍬🌸✨ She started this adventure simply because she was the one who remained. Now she's become one of the girls I genuinely enjoy watching every single week. The Glamorous Survivor. The Solo Survivor. The Flower-Loaded Survivor. And this week... the Bulking Survivor. πŸ˜‚πŸ¬πŸ’š Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep photographing. And let's let this beautiful girl continue doing what she does best. Growing in her own rhythm. Building in her own way. And shining without ever needing to ask for the spotlight. Because this week... the spotlight belongs to Candy Rain. πŸ¬βœ¨πŸ’šπŸ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! πŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸ¬

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. And hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. This is my second feminised cultivation ever. First, I'm just going to say something about my grow room. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps for bloom. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This new strain combines two well-received parents, Juanita la Lagrimosa (Spanish for "Juanita the Tearful") and Royal Highness, which are themselves genetic hybrids of other precursor strains: Juanita the Tearful from Queen Mother and a Mexican-Afghan blend; Royal Highness from Dance Hall and Respect 13. On and on the strains date back in agricultural time, each new variety with its own unique smell, taste, color, high and medical benefit. However, in the past decade, a goal of all this tinkering has been what some producers are starting to call β€œRoyal Respect” with the soul of marijuana's benefits going toward both body and mind. Painkiller XL is notable for its near-equal representation of 6 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 7 percent cannabidiol (CBD), achieved by a seed that's 70 percent sativa and 30 percent indica. While the sativa variety of cannabis is widely known for producing more of a mental, cerebral high, and indica has a reputation for contributing more toward its physical high, other factors are more important to consider: THC is the compound given most of the credit for that head high, with CBD takes the credit for marijuana's many proven medicinal benefits, which range vastly from relieving pain, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia and even mad cow disease to easing many of the most deleterious symptoms of AIDS, diabetes, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. These are just a handful of the dozens of ailments marijuana is being prescribed to combat by doctors across the globe and in more than a dozen U.S. states. Cooperatives at medical marijuana dispensaries have been at the forefront of providing CBD-rich cannabis buds and oils for their patients, who undoubtedly appreciate being able to purchase the strain best-suited to ease their particular ailments. This new strain joins others rich in both CBD and THC like Euphoria, Royal Medic, Medical Mass and Danceworld that seek to actually not necessarily downplay cannabis' psychoactive effects in favor of optimizing its healing role, but instead equalize the two. According to the California-based Steep Hill Cannabis Analysis Laboratory, this equalization brings to the cannabis user not just the physically healing aspects, but also the spiritually and psychologically healing benefits as well. There are other strains with very little THC and more CBD than Painkiller XL , but rare are such splendid balances. Producers of this strain say it produces a considerable amount of pain relief, with a mild, relieving mental euphoria. With a flowering time of eight weeks, the Painkiller XL seed can produce 525 to 575 grams per plant indoors. Inside, the dried yield is 400 to 450 grams per plant. Inside, the plants average in height at about 31.5 inche (80 cm); outside, the average height is about 53 inches (135 cm), with harvest time at the end of September. THC: 9% CBD: 9% Yield Indoor: 500-550gr m2 Yield Outdoor: 500-550 grams per plant dried Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 120 - 150 cm Flowering time: 8 weeks Harvest month: Late September Genetic background: Juanita la Lagrimosa x Royal Highness Type Sativa: 75%; Indica: 25% Effect: Physical, clear high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-04. New week. I have started giving light nutes and fimed the tops of the plants. No lst and defoliation yet. Added picks and video. Girl N1 is 14 cm high, Nr 2 is 7 cm high. They are still in 1 liter pots and i wait another week to transplant them to big pots.

Hello hello, We are at the end of the 6th week today, and the plants are growing so much. The main branches became very tall, so I decided to use a net to help me control them. I'm enjoying the result so far :)

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 πŸ’— Compact. Charming. Frosty. And Still One of My Absolute Favourites. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š And honestly... I don't think I'm going to get tired of saying this. I wish I had more plants like this one. πŸ˜‚πŸ’— Because every time I look at Pink Rosay Pheno A, I have exactly the same thought: "Why can't they all be this easy?" πŸ˜‚ She's in full auto mode now. She's growing. She's developing. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. But she's doing it in the most beautifully compact way possible. She's not trying to take over the room. She's not reaching for the ceiling. She's not creating some enormous structure that requires an engineering degree to navigate. She's simply... growing. Beautifully. Compactly. Efficiently. And carrying some absolutely gorgeous flowers. This girl has charm. And the more I watch her develop, the more I appreciate it. πŸ’—πŸŒΈβœ¨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8Γ—8 Adventure β€” Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8Γ—8 Adventure. The idea behind this project is simple: Give twelve different plants essentially the same opportunity... and let them show us what they can do. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different personalities. And Pink Rosay Pheno A continues to be one of the clearest examples of why this experiment is so much fun. Because while some plants use the same environment to become enormous... this girl seems to have decided: "Thank you for all the photons. I'll just make every centimetre count." πŸ˜‚πŸ’— And I absolutely love that. ──────────────────────── πŸ’— I Still Wish They Were All Like Her I said it last week. I'm saying it again. And I'll probably say it again next week. I wish I had more plants like this one. πŸ˜‚ Not because I don't love the big girls. I absolutely do. There is something incredible about seeing a huge plant filling a space with enormous branches and massive flowering structures. Those plants are spectacular. But... they can also be a pain in the ass to manage. πŸ˜‚ Moving them. Reaching around them. Getting the camera into the right position. Checking everything. Making space. Working around branches. Trying not to knock something over. And then there's Pink Rosay. "Hello, little lady." Pick her up. Move her. Inspect her. Photograph her. Put her back. Done. πŸ˜‚πŸ’— And somehow... she's carrying flowers that look like they belong on a much larger plant. That's what gets me. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Compact Frame. Huge Flower Presence. This girl is still proving that size doesn't tell the whole story. She's compact. She's manageable. She's easy to work with. But look at those flowers. The formation is beautiful. The buds are developing into substantial, impressive structures. The density is becoming one of her defining characteristics. And the frost? Absolutely on point. ❄️❄️❄️ This is one of those plants where you can look at the overall structure and think: "That's a small plant." Then you look closer... and suddenly: "Wait a minute..." πŸ˜‚ Because the flowers completely change the perspective. She's not wasting much of her available space. She's putting her energy into building beautiful flowering structures. And I think that's part of the charm of this phenotype. She doesn't need to be enormous to make an impression. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing that extremely well. ──────────────────────── ✨ The Charm of Pink Rosay I used the word "charm" earlier. And I think that's exactly what it is. There's something about this phenotype that makes me smile. Maybe it's the proportions. Maybe it's the compact architecture. Maybe it's those beautiful flowers. Maybe it's the way the buds are developing. Maybe it's the frost. Maybe it's simply the fact that she's so damn easy to love. πŸ˜‚πŸ’— She's not dramatic. She's not demanding. She's not trying to prove anything. She's just quietly getting on with the job. And somehow... she keeps getting more beautiful. That's a pretty wonderful personality to have in a room full of twelve very different plants. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Is Definitely Showing Up The resin development is another part of this girl that I really enjoy watching. As the flowers continue developing, the frost becomes increasingly obvious. Those little sparkling details start showing themselves everywhere. From a distance, you see the flowers. Get closer... and suddenly the whole thing becomes a completely different world. Trichomes. Resin. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Tiny textures everywhere. This is one of those stages where macro photography becomes especially addictive. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ Because every time you zoom in, there's another little detail waiting to be discovered. And Pink Rosay gives the camera plenty to work with. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ A Photographer's Dream I've said this before... but it remains true. Pink Rosay is incredibly easy to photograph. And that's not a small thing when you're documenting twelve different plants. Some plants make you work for the shot. You have to move around them. Find an opening. Move a branch. Change the camera position. Try not to bump into something. πŸ˜‚ Pink Rosay? She basically cooperates. She's compact enough that I can get around her. Her flowers are accessible. Her structure is easy to understand. And once the camera gets close... she starts telling her own story. Wide shot: "Nice little plant." Closer shot: "Okay..." Macro: "Holy shit, look at that frost." πŸ˜‚πŸ’—β„οΈ That's exactly what I love about photographing plants. The closer you get, the more complicated and beautiful the story becomes. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ Still Eating Photons The room continues operating under the same upgraded lighting setup. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the room's lighting ecosystem. After adding the two extra Black Series 600W fixtures, the initial output was higher than we wanted, so we reduced the power to approximately 59% from the plug. The result? Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the intensity naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. And Pink Rosay? She's using those photons in her own way. Some plants respond to the same environment with enormous vertical growth. Some create wider structures. Some build huge canopies. And this little lady seems to say: "I don't need to be tall. Just give me the photons and watch what I do with them." πŸ˜‚πŸ’— And honestly... I'm impressed. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ More Capability Without Chasing Maximum Power One thing I really like about this lighting upgrade is that we don't need to run everything at full power simply because the fixtures are capable of it. Having more lighting capacity gives us flexibility. We can distribute the photons across the room. We can reach the canopy properly. And we can dial the output back to where we actually want it. That's a very different thing from simply turning everything to 100% and calling it a day. The goal is not maximum power. The goal is providing the room with the right lighting environment. And right now, Pink Rosay seems very happy with what she's receiving. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures for us to test in this adventure. πŸ™πŸ’‘ They've added another dimension to the room, and it's fascinating watching all these different phenotypes respond to the same photons in completely different ways. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Nutrition β€” Another Small Step Forward The nutrition program has also been updated across the room. Terra Bloom has been increased from: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom β€” 2.3 ml/L Alongside: 🌱 Plagron Power Buds β€” 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation β€” 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal β€” 1 ml/L βš—οΈ pH adjustment as required The increased Terra Bloom has brought the solution strength slightly higher, currently around: ⚑ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm And Pink Rosay continues looking happy with the program. Again... we're not trying to reinvent the wheel. The environment is stable. The nutrition is consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The plant is developing beautifully. So our job is mostly to provide the conditions... and let her do the rest. ──────────────────────── βœ‚οΈ No Need to Overcomplicate a Good Thing One of the things I appreciate most about Pink Rosay is that she doesn't constantly ask for intervention. The major structural work was already done earlier. She's healthy. She's accessible. Her flowers are visible. Her canopy is manageable. And now? We're mostly observing. There is absolutely no prize for using scissors just because you have scissors. πŸ˜‚βœ‚οΈ Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant is stop trying to find something to do to it. Healthy leaves are still working. Flowers are developing. The structure is functioning. So we let her continue. Water. Nutrition. Light. Environment. Observation. And a little bit of love. That's enough. ──────────────────────── πŸ’§ Week 11 β€” Same Room, Same Girl, More Flower The room remains stable and the overall strategy is unchanged. Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 πŸ’‘ Light schedule: 12/12 πŸ’‘ Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup πŸ’‘ Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug β˜€οΈ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌑️ Day temperature: ~26.5Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: ~61% βš—οΈ pH: ~6.02 ⚑ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌑️ Solution temperature: ~25Β°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25Β°C 🌬️ COβ‚‚: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L πŸ’¦ Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same general care. Same upgrades. Different plant. And Pink Rosay continues proving exactly why phenotype variation is so fascinating. ──────────────────────── 🌸 She's Doing Her Own Thing There's something almost funny about watching this girl. She's clearly in auto mode. She's developing at her own rhythm. She's progressing. She's building flowers. She's getting frosty. She's becoming more substantial. But she isn't doing any of it in a dramatic way. She's just... doing it. πŸ˜‚πŸ’— No giant stretch. No enormous footprint. No "move me or I will take over the tent" attitude. Just: "Here are my flowers. They're getting bigger. They're getting prettier. And yes, I'm going to keep doing this." πŸ˜‚ I can respect that. ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ Same Environment. Completely Different Expression. This is one of the parts of the 8Γ—8 Adventure that I never get tired of. We can provide essentially the same environment to all twelve plants... and they interpret it completely differently. Same photons. Same room. Same schedule. Same nutrition. Same irrigation philosophy. And yet one plant stretches. Another stays compact. One builds long branches. Another builds dense clusters. One demands space. Another makes every centimetre count. And Pink Rosay? She's showing us what her particular genetics want to do. Compact. Beautiful. Dense. Frosty. Manageable. Charming. That's her story. ──────────────────────── πŸ’— One of the Plants I Really Don't Want to End I'm going to be honest... these are the plants that make me wish the diary didn't eventually have to end. πŸ˜‚ Because she's just so enjoyable to watch. Every week I look at her and think: "Yep. Still love this one." She's not necessarily the biggest plant. She's not trying to win a height competition. She's not trying to dominate the room. But she keeps catching my attention. And maybe that's the most important thing. Because sometimes a plant doesn't need to be spectacular from across the room. Sometimes you get closer... and that's when the magic happens. Pink Rosay is one of those plants. ──────────────────────── πŸ”­ Looking Ahead And now I'm genuinely curious to see where this little powerhouse takes us. The flower formation is beautiful. The buds are substantial. The frost is impressive. The plant remains compact. And she's continuing to develop in her own unmistakable way. So I'm not going to try to predict the ending. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep documenting. Keep providing the environment. And let Pink Rosay reveal the final version of herself when she's ready. That's the fun part. We don't need to rush the story. We just need to let her finish writing it. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts β€” Give This Girl Her Spotlight Week 11. And once again... I wish I had more plants like this one. πŸ˜‚πŸ’— She's compact. She's beautiful. She's easy to manage. She's easy to move. She's easy to photograph. She's developing impressive flowers. Her bud formation is absolutely beautiful. Her frost is on point. And she carries herself with this quiet little charm that I genuinely love. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the room, there are plants that require a navigation system just to walk around them. πŸ˜‚πŸŒ³ And Pink Rosay is sitting there like: "I don't know what their problem is." πŸ˜‚πŸ’— She's proof that bigger isn't automatically better. Sometimes a smaller plant can be incredibly impressive when she knows exactly how to use the space she's given. And this girl? She knows. She doesn't need another metre of height. She doesn't need a massive footprint. She doesn't need to fill every corner. She just needs to keep doing what she's already doing. Growing. Stacking. Frosting. Building. Shining. And being completely, unapologetically Pink Rosay. πŸ’—πŸŒΈβ„οΈβœ¨ So yes... I'll say it again. I wish I had more plants like her. But then again... if every plant behaved like Pink Rosay, we'd lose some of the madness that makes the 8Γ—8 Adventure so much fun. πŸ˜‚ So I'll keep the giants. I'll keep the wild ones. I'll keep the difficult ones. I'll keep the plants that make me work for every photograph. Because they're all part of the experiment. But this little lady? She's getting a very special place in my heart. Compact frame. Massive flower presence. Beautiful formation. Serious frost. And an enormous amount of charm. Pink Rosay Pheno A... you've absolutely earned your spotlight. πŸ’—πŸŒΈβœ¨ Keep shining, little lady. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8Γ—8 Adventure and share these individual stories week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics behind this beautiful phenotype. πŸ’—πŸŒΈ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. 🌱 Thank you to Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the 8Γ—8 Adventure. πŸ’‘πŸ™ Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent following these girls. It all becomes part of the story. And Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's certainly writing one of my favourite chapters. Small. Compact. Frosty. Beautiful. Easy to manage. And carrying flowers that make her look anything but small. πŸ’—πŸŒΈβ„οΈβœ¨ Let's keep giving her what she needs... and let her do what she does best. Shine. Growers Love & Happy Growing! πŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸŒΈ

Looks like she'll be growing some serious leaves, some solar panels to soak up all that light. She'll be staying indoors just incase the Blueberry OG ends up being an outdoor male.
