This week marked the transition from stretch into true flower development 🌸 The plant is nearing the end of the stretch phase, with vertical growth slowing down but not completely finished yet. • Height approx. ~100 cm • Stretch almost completed • Canopy remains mostly even after topping Light intensity was increased to ~1000 PPFD ☀️ and the fixture had to be raised slightly again to maintain proper distance as the plant continued to grow. Water demand increased further: • ~4L every 2 days based on pot weight 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x BioTabs Bio PK • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment remained stable: • ~25°C temperature • ~50% RH 🌡️ Bud development is now clearly visible across the plant 🌿 Small bud sites are forming and beginning to develop further. Trichome production has started, with visible resin appearing on both the sugar leaves and bud surfaces ✨ Leaf color remains healthy green, though slightly lighter compared to the Chicken n’ Wafflez plants. Aroma is still relatively mild at this stage. Despite being the smallest plant in the tent, the Jelly Donutz shows very strong bud development across the canopy, confirming that the earlier topping paid off 💪🍩 Overall this week marks the end of stretch and the beginning of real bud formation and resin production 🔥

Week 11 complete. It’s been another week of just watering every other day. One of the girls is almost ready for a flush. The other two still have a couple weeks to go but they keep getting bigger and bigger buds. Can’t wait to chop one of these girls down I can almost feel it. As usual if any comment or tips please let me know.

I am sad too say out of all my seeds this blackberry kush has has the slowest development and just looks poorly slow growth and new leave deformities , The newest leaves are curling downwards and have a very round leave appearance yet everything else in the same space is loving life , I intended too top this plant but will see how she picks up in the next week , This week I had too change my lighting too 600 true watts of kingbo dual optical LED range due too the temps getting closer too 30c than I would like , and by doing so I have now got a constant temp of 27c lights on and 18c lights out

Did more tie downs, she's very resilient. Planning to flip to flower end of this week. debating when to remove root protection, before or after flower. Love being able to interact with plants on a daily.. got a 5×5 in flower and that tent is just in auto mode lol.. Happy growing

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) 🍬 The Solo Survivor – Small Setback, Big Future Every grow has a story, and not every story begins perfectly. Candy Rain is the only survivor from this folder. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely on me, and that’s simply part of growing. Every mistake becomes another lesson, and rather than focusing on what was lost, this diary celebrates the plant that kept pushing forward. Despite her delayed start, she’s proving that healthy genetics and a stable environment can overcome a rough beginning remarkably quickly. She’s only a few days behind the rest of the room, yet every day she seems determined to close that gap. This project continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination, challenging the common belief that this lighting regime prevents vigorous development. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, grown under the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves its own opportunity to shine. And this week… She absolutely deserves her spotlight. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Catching Up Fast Although I’m still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant clearly finished the week entering pre-flower. Fresh pistils are now appearing at the top growth, and the transition toward bloom is well underway. Rather than exploding into stretch overnight, Candy Rain is making the change gradually while continuing to build a sturdy framework for flowering. At around 60 cm tall, she isn’t the largest plant in the room, but she’s beautifully proportioned. The internodal spacing is excellent, the main stem continues thickening nicely, and every branch is positioning itself to receive strong light as flowering progresses. Sometimes the smaller plants end up becoming the easiest ones to manage, and she’s developing exactly that kind of balanced architecture. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and gentle throughout the grow. Low Stress Training has helped open the canopy while preserving the plant’s natural structure. Combined with regular leaf repositioning, this has allowed light to reach developing side branches without introducing unnecessary stress. One thing visible this week is some damage on a few older leaves. This isn’t something I’m concerned about. Between the early setbacks, a little environmental stress from airflow, and perhaps my own learning moments while dialing everything in, a handful of leaves have certainly seen better days. The important part is what the plant is telling me now. The newest growth is emerging vibrant, healthy, and beautifully green, showing that the current conditions are exactly where they need to be. Rather than chasing cosmetic perfection on older leaves, I’m paying attention to the fresh growth—and that’s looking fantastic. Healthy new growth always tells the real story. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation Although this report still closes the vegetative chapter, the plant has already begun receiving the same flowering transition feed as the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The transition has been smooth, with an EC around 1.83, pH maintained at 6.05. No signs of nutrient deficiencies are developing in the new growth, giving me confidence that the plant has recovered completely from her slower beginning. She’s now receiving exactly what the rest of the room is receiving—and she’s responding beautifully. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue providing a stable ecosystem for every plant inside the tent. * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Even with the warm summer temperatures, the healthy root environment, excellent airflow, and consistent irrigation continue allowing the plants to grow vigorously while transitioning naturally into bloom. The room continues doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week marks the beginning of a completely new chapter. The stretch should become much more noticeable as Candy Rain fully commits to flowering, and I’m excited to see how her elegant structure begins filling with bud sites over the coming weeks. Being only slightly behind the rest of the room really isn’t a concern anymore. In fact, she seems determined to catch up one day at a time, and with every new set of leaves she’s reminding me that healthy plants don’t dwell on the past—they simply keep growing. I’m looking forward to watching those first flower clusters begin stacking along each branch. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Not every plant starts life under perfect circumstances. Sometimes the most rewarding grows are the ones that overcome early challenges and keep moving forward without looking back. Candy Rain may be the solo survivor of this folder, but she’s far from being “the leftover.” She’s becoming a beautiful example of resilience, proving that a slightly delayed start doesn’t define the final harvest. Every week she’s writing a better chapter than the last. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing such reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make these weekly updates something I genuinely look forward to creating. Until next week… Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

This week was a good one . Stellar initial growth this round after upgrading lights & using homemade super soil. My 3 day old plants looked like 9 day old plants of my last run to give an idea . I watered for the first time since planting on 5/17 . I had to itch to test the runoff since it’d only take a sec right? All the ph’s came out almost 2 points lower than when they went in so I decided on a flush even though I’m using Dry amendments. Honestly I didn’t have the problem of fluctuating ph’s before I added that Peat Moss to my supersoil in hindsight I wish I would have just ordered 1 more 11lb brick of CoCo Coir . I had the idea that I may need to flush a day or two prior to watering when I noticed all my stems purple. I get it could be genetics but ALL of them where purple . Here today it is 1 full day since I flushed & all of the stems are now Green with the exception of my Runtz seedling. 3/17 will make day 7 for Runtz & #1 of the GDP 3/18 will make day 7 for Zkittlez & the 3 remaining GDP. I intended to transplant these ladies day 13 preferably into their forever homes of 3g fabric pots . Fingers crossed day 14 they’ll be ready to start some LST.

day 85. Sorry haven't posted in a while. Things are ok, still defoliated here and there, removed some lower branches from all about a week ago. Bridal party was having some kind of P or K issue, like medium is too hot or some type of minor lockout, or ph issue. I have used BlueSky organics compost tea amendments,and just threw it in a 5 gal bucket of water without a compost tea bag, when the 5 gal is empty I just refill with still the amendments in the bottom breaking down, along with bluesky organics organic booster.

D43. The first day in the second week of flower, everything is good in the tent. She might be small and stunted, but she looks healthy, vibrant, and strong. ------------------------------ D45. There's nothing to report, really. She is quietly doing her thing, and there isn't much for me to do at this point. The mushroom kit seems to have just died after harvest, and today, I noticed some mold and removed it immediately. It was a fun experiment that didn't work out as I'd hoped. Oh, well :) ------------------------------ D47. Zzzzzzzz... flower is so dull as there's nothing to do but wait. ------------------------------ D49. There's not much to report at the end of the second week of flower. Yesterday, the entire tent was without power, so there was no light or exhaust for five hours. Ugh! Fortunately, I was making some compost tea and discovered the lack of power when watering. I gave the girl 2.5 liters of compost tea and humic acid @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------

Ants 🐜 Love It! Peter Tosh nah’ lie because these ants won’t leave the girls alone especially when they’re ripping but moving forward I would grow in a greenhouse because I am having other pest problems.

Hey now, so this week went very well, I started feeding her ripening nutes today....So I am going with silica, cal mag, maxi bloom, and then dry bloom, ph, then a little hydrogen peroxide. So far they are happy. Plan is to build a little manifold out of her if she cooperates. Thanks for stopping by, I hope your grows are Strong and fast! Be safe and Blaze On!!!

Day 1 Week 10. Added AN Big Bud to the feeding as per Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. Still fighting to keep the stretch under control. And the RH is hitting 80% leaving the door partially unzipped. Ordered a small Dehumidifier to help. Changed the cover picture in celebration of an election. Day 3 week 10. Added a dehumidifier to help bring the RH inline. Sofia and Claudia are starting to show their flowers. Happy girls make happy grower. Day 5 week 10. Each morning a defoliation, and the next day grown in again. The girls have grown enough to see where they are joined from their single seed.
