Drunken Bitch slap is looking really good. She is growing great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. I defoliated a little, and pruned roots up. She should be ready to switch times to flowering in about a week. Thank you Hortibloom, and Aeque Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

🍬 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! 💚🌱

No update last week sorry got busy. In week 10 of veg they were cruising along and got bushy as can be from the heavy Defoliation. I wanted to give them a chance to really recover unlike usual before doing any more cutting or defoliating. Now we are in week 1 of veg and the single GMO Zkittlez needed nutrients so I gave it 21 ml/g of the A and B, 9 ml/g of Voodoo and Bud Candy and 10 ml/g of Cal-mag plus since I know it's a heavy feeder from growing GMO sherbet in the past. The rest will be getting the listed nutrient mix this week on their next watering. I defoliated them heavy this week again to allow any branches to stretch to the net that want too. I also took off any branches that were dying from being severely shaded, that just would be in the way later on, or were not worth keeping. I added in some green lacewings (eggs as we speak) to keep any pests at bay and prevent any future issues as part of my new organic IPM regimen. Everything looks amazing and I can't wait to see the end result!!

I wished that I could've done things a little different but the end result was fiiire! Taste like Peaches when you give it a nice 4 week cure. Wish that I could've yielded more. But experience will overcome all my flaws. But it will only get better.

This girl is really starting to thicken up! She smells so damn good!!! The buds have loads of trichomes. The buds almost look as good as ones grown indoor. 🤞 the weather stays nice. Although I built her a shelter that I can put poly over 😏 😎🍿

Still on auto cruise. This girl is doing great. Can't believe mt first cannabonsi has turned out so well so far. I'm giving her Fox farm nutes now. Just giving her some of the nutes my other plants are getting. Flower stuff. I water till run off with the nute fixture pretty much everyday. The pot is so small she soaks it up Was worried about over watering but I've actually under watered several times. She is starting to swell up. Not going to be a heavy producer but it's all about the looks. Been a really fun grow. Think this is my new hobby now.

Things are started to get some size to the buds. I upped the nutes PPM this week to 1050. The durban clearly has awhile longer to go while the green crack looks like it might be done sooner then later. I'm debating giving green crack it's first overdrive feeding next week.. we will see how the buds are looking then.. I used to feed a week earlier then I should have so I'm trying not to get too ancy with it yet. Both look great.. some slight light burn so the light went from 100% to 80%... just put up to 90% to see how it reacts.. if any issue I'll go back to 80%.. that might be the most it can handle at 18 inches at this point. Gave a heavy defoliation to both plants tonight after nutrient freeding. I defoliated more of the top leaves to expose more bud sites. Then I defoliated the bottom buds sites that I know won't amount to anything and the twig branches coming from the bottom that don't get any light neither. Took 3 hours to get it all accomplished.. forgot to take before and after pics but both plants were monsters.. not much light could really get thru the top canopy Now light gets thru the entire plant so the lower buds are exposed to light and better air flow for sure. My final defoliation will be 1.5 weeks before harvest.. pretty much at the point I start to consider beginning my flush. That way it will fatten up the buds and help finish the buds that haven't been getting much light. Excited to see the final results.. this my first time really doing a heavy defoliation throughout a plants entire life cycle. It defintely helps final yield if done correctly from what I've seen. I figured I'd give it a try and see how it goes.. so far I'm satisfied with the results.

Unos días antes de mandar a flora hiciamos las últimas podas de bajos y apicales la dejamos recuperarse unos días y hicimos el último trasplante a 10 litros , con eso ya listo empezamos con los nutrientes de preflora , hicimos unos riegos foliares 15 días antes de mandar a flora , el mismo día q mandamos a flora y lo tenemos que hacer 15 días después de mandar a flora , con esto ya estamos más que bien para las primeras semanas de floración después de la segunda semana vamos a empezar a fertilizar con guano de murciélago y unas cucharaditas de melaza , después ya con el engorde , pero para eso faltan unas semanas , ahora vamos a ir viendo como le va en sus primeras semanas de floración
