28 días de mis hermosas nenas... A una semana lo más probable las pasare a florar!!!

Plants are growing very nicely! Strawberry Banana has really taken off! 3/12/22 Turned on Auto Pot system! Will wait a week or so before turning on Air Domes!

Ai Gude Growmie und Willkommen zur 7 Woche, Ich habe die Pflanze ein letztes mal entlaubt sowie PK13/14 verabreicht. Mittlerweile sind die terpene extrem ausgebildet und gassy!!!!

04.11--> Pistil appeared 6 days after changing the light pattern to 12-12. They're growing faster than I expected, won't fit in the cabin 😬 07.11--> One of the plants turned out to be male. I saw buds with pollen sacs and moved them away from the cabin. This was not nice. I will not be able to get close to the harvest amount I planned. 😔

🍬 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! 🌱💚

Well this week kicks off w5 of flower for unknown and a new 3w nute feed. She’s been putting on some frost and hopefully will continue 🤞… Again just continuing to keep the girls happy. Unknown more than wwa but, I’m still learning and there’s definitely room for improvement. wwa has been doing her thing and this starts w10. I think she’s almost ready, just ordered a magnifier to check trichomes!!! Hopefully I can keep up the good work all the way to curing and finish with a complete 1st grow under the belt 🤷‍♂️😎. Thanks to all who, stops by from time to time and checks me and the girls out 👋👋👋.

Compost tea this week, came out great, hit both plants with it. Height still growing quickly, used another round of bud clips to try and keep it down and even out the cannopy. Did some minor cleanup, some nodes not keeping up and in general anything below the third or fourth node down pinched off. Cleaned up the bottom and inside, will continue to do so weekly. I've left some stragglers on the outside but they'll get a lot more light exposure and couldn't bring myself to hack them off. Had some light rain and wind for a few days, but other then that perfect growing weather. Drip irrigation, Monster Maxx and silica as well as a weekly LCPT spray.

Week 5 (3/21/22 - 3/27/22) Set up scrog net with 2x2 inch grid

A tale of two plant that are the same strain Plant A is growing like a champ just waiting for tricone to be turn red10% but other then that not issues Plant b I gave a hair cut and trim hoping the buds will fatten up also I love one of my light closer to see if that will help

Hi all! 👊😊 Another week started ohh yeaahhh I do foliar 3 times this week and i see pistil white change in orange Smell very good pine and citrus :)

Breite erreicht nun in die Höhe.

Begging to streaky in flower very bushy plant and the leaves are very close together got to be careful during defoliation letting her stretch to get a better defoliation

Do not pay attention to the temperature on the thermometer in the middle, it lies by a couple of degrees. I have a good thermometer on top of the box that shows the temperature. Day 29: After a terrible fracture, we see that the plant is beginning to recover. I'm honestly disappointed because it makes it very difficult for me to train mainlining and it will also increase the amount of time it takes to grow. Day 30: It looks much better already, I could superprune the right branch, but I don't want to stress it. I will try to bend the right branch harder, I will bend the left one a little in the morning the next day, maybe early. Day 31: This morning I cut the lower leaves, photo in the evening and continued the LST training after the injury. Photo in the evening. Day 32: I am completely sure that the plant has moved away from the stress, but we can see on the left circle, the right bud (and side) slowed growth. Day 34: I saw traces of salt on the tips of the new leaves, so now I pour water with regular 15 PPM.

On Day 15 we checked on the ladies and seemed to respond very well to their first feeding of nutrients. When I to check on the on Day 16 the ladies seemed thirsty so they where given 250 ml of water with a 6.0 ph along with a misting, the plants then received another feeding on Day 18 but this time we went up on the nutrients slightly, I then again watered them on Day 20 and they were given the normal 250 ml of water with a 6.0 ph along with a misting. I did notice that the AK-49 strain is a lot smaller than the last time I grew it at this stage of life. Which I thought was weird so I started seeing what was different. I've come to the conclusion that it's how many plants are in the grow space using the light, meaning I need more light for this many plants. I also think that AK-49 #1 & #4 could have been overwatered which goes to show that every plant no matter the strain can have different needs. So I'll be letting them dry out and show signs that they need by being slightly droopy. Well till next time folks Happy growing and Enhance Your Life ......

Helo there, This is my 3 grow the fist time I made mistakes on ph level and nutrients quality.. first time just 20 gr from plant. Can you advise me for best result .. I want to improve the yields and I believe I make mistake during flowering stage.. this is end of 4th week and I have just add Calmag, Biobizz bloom and now big bud... Did I do good?? Help please

NOT REALLY WELL GROWN BY ME. UNFORTUNATELY. I'LL JUST DO AUTOS INDOORS FROM NOW ON IF I CAN. OR ELSE JUST WASTING BEANS. I GET BETTER RESULTS GROWING AUTOS INDOORS. PERHAPS JUST SOIL NOT GOOD OR WATER INCONSISTANT B/C VARIANT DAY TIME TEMP THROUGH OUT THE MONTH. OR I JUST NEED TO LEARN BETTER TO GROW AUTOS OUTDOORS. SHOULDN'T BLAME EVERY OTHER VARIABLE. HONESTLY. WILL TRY BETTER NEXT TIME.

It’s a bit sad to realize that "Autumn" has officially arrived. The trichomes have gone cloudy, the leaves are fading, and I’m out here wiping away a tear. This girl, whom I’ve been spending every day with for almost half a year, is finally wrapping up her cycle. Well, it’s been a beautiful ride, and Think Fast proved to be an incredibly strong and resilient strain. I’ll break down my full thoughts and review of the genetics during harvest week. By the way, the next update will drop right after the dry, I know you guys are all waiting to see the final dry weight. But for now, it's time to flush. The lights are dialed down a bit, the reservoir is filled with pure RO water, and my heart is filled with pure, bittersweet blues. Don't lose track of me, we’ll meet again in about 15 days! In the meantime, drop your guesses below - how much do you think we’ll see on the scales? Honestly, I can’t even begin to guess.

Week 8

Last week of life, she is yellowing the leaves rippening faster than the week before, and Bad weather is here, during the middle of this week, so it rained hard dirung a couple of days, high RH and even more bugs are trying to eat the plant.... Aphids, flies, ants... They attract each other so what a jungle hahaha Im giving the plant a H202 bath to get rid of that bugs, they are really annoying hahaha damn fuckers, but they know whats a good therpene profile hahaha, really, if you could smell this plant would intstantly know that is a piece of cake for the bugs :) Hairs are like 90-100% orange Buds are covered by a nice layer of resin and THC ^^ Im happy, as my second auto, ended like an homogeneous bush, all buds at the same level, but now i think i should had removed more lower leaves to increase airflow... Take care boyzzz and girlzzz, and remember, smoke at least one joint a day if its possible hahaha :D
