Welcome Back!💚 Die Sleepy Joe befindet sich nun in der siebten Blütewoche und die Blütenbildung entwickelt sich wunderbar. Ich bin gespannt ob sie in der 8 Wochen range bleibt. Nach dieser Woche kommt ein Trichomcheck. Das Blattwerk habe ich nochmals ein bisschen ausgedünnt. Der Geruch hat sich auch nochmal stark intensiviert. Aktuell kommen starke Nuancen von süsslicheren düften, kombiniert mit Lösungsmittel oder ähnlichem hervor. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aufgrund des nassen Wetters etwas anders. ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💦 RH: 58% 💨 VPD: 0,91 kPa 😎 PPFD: 830 mqm ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦

What’s good, fam? Zuppler comin’ through with that week 2 veg update, straight from the capital. The ladies startin’ to really take off now – roots stretchin’ out like they ownin’ the whole crib. We keepin’ it real clean with that RO water, pure as the ocean, ya feel me? Advanced Nutrients been feedin’ these queens like they on some luxury diet, and it’s showin’. Leaves lookin’ lush, no deficiencies in sight, and them stalks startin’ to thicken up like they preppin’ for the fight ahead. Ain’t no stalling in this grow, everything on the up. I’m keepin' the environment steady – temps and humidity locked in tight, like I’m runnin’ a ship with no leaks. We just cruisin’ through, lettin’ the ladies do their thing, no stress. This week’s all about that foundation – roots go deep, stalks get strong. We buildin’ queens, homie, and they 'bout to be ready for that next stage soon. Let’s keep it movin’. Peace, Zuppler out.

Looks good, tastes better but the yield was poor and I put this down to the algae and the fact it’s my first time growing in flood and drain, first time using Canna Coco A&B & first time trying loads of small plants to try and achieve the same yield as a few big one. You live and you learn

Was a good second week, had some heat issues in the beginning, but once I rerouted my flowering tents air conditioner exhaust outside instead of the room this tent was in she cooled down. I was heating my basement with the exhaust from one of my air conditioners and my light exhaust as well. Snows coming soon so I’m trying to recycle some heat instead of dumping it outside, I will move them back in probably when we hit the -20c to -40c weather in a month or so....Lol Topped her yesterday at day 15 at the 4th node. She didn’t even flinch! Roots are well established now and growing daily. Still got 2-3 weeks or so till they can hit the flowering tent so I will be making some more insulated top covers with anchor wires attached to begin LST once these new tops come up in a week or so. Loving this UC Roots stuff, keeping my shit pristine in all the buckets across all my tents. Even my RDWC systems are sparking clean still well into flowering, can’t really see my roots to much anymore to check them though because they are screened and Scrog’d out. But if the res and water is sparkling I’m hoping the rest is...lol well that’s it for this week! Cheers! 💨

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Apologies that this took me so long to update! This harvest was probably my second favorite, after my Choc Mint OG. Even tho the yeild was low due to only having 1 plant after a season on downs.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 10 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Some plants fight for attention. Some plants demand it. Some plants seem determined to become the biggest, loudest personality in the entire room. And then there is Candy Rain. Our solo survivor. The girl who started this adventure simply because she was the one who remained... and somehow, week after week, she keeps becoming more beautiful. At this point, I don't even know if "survivor" is still the right word. Because she isn't just surviving anymore. She's thriving. And honestly? This girl is becoming glamorous. 🍬✨ 🍬 The Solo Survivor Has Her Own Role I've said it before, and I'm probably going to say it again... I really like the role this girl has taken in the 8×8 Adventure. She's not trying to compete with anybody. She's not trying to become the tallest. She's not demanding constant attention. She's not creating problems for me to solve. She's simply doing her own thing. And she's doing it beautifully. That's probably what I appreciate most about her. She has developed her own personality within this experiment, and at this stage, my job is becoming wonderfully simple: Provide. Observe. Document. That's it. She knows what she's doing. 😂💚 🌿 Deep Green Beauty The first thing that catches my attention this week is the colour. Those deep greens are absolutely beautiful. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the plant look incredibly alive. And when you put that deep green foliage together with the developing flowers, the contrast becomes gorgeous. She's got that elegant appearance I really enjoy photographing. Not chaotic. Not overly complicated. Just... beautiful. There's something about a plant that looks comfortable in its environment. And that's exactly how Candy Rain looks to me right now. Comfortable. Established. Confident. And completely herself. ✨ She's Doing Her Own Thing One of the biggest lessons from this entire 8×8 Adventure continues to be that plants don't follow our expectations. We can give them the same room. The same lighting. The same environmental conditions. The same general feeding strategy. The same irrigation philosophy. And then... they decide what they're going to become. Candy Rain decided to become Candy Rain. And I couldn't be happier about it. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's not trying to match anybody else's timing. She's following her own rhythm. And at Week 10, that rhythm is looking very good. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Moving Forward The flowering development continues to progress beautifully. The flower structures are becoming increasingly established, and the plant is clearly moving further into this later stage of flowering. The photographs show those developing flowers surrounded by that beautiful deep green foliage. And that's one of the things I really enjoy about this stage. We're no longer looking at a plant simply beginning to flower. We're watching the work from all those previous weeks become increasingly visible. The branches have their flowers. The flowers have their structure. The plant has its character. And now... we wait. We provide. And we watch. ❄️ The Details Keep Getting Better This is also the point in the run where photography becomes especially rewarding. From a distance, Candy Rain is simply a beautiful flowering plant. But get closer... and there is another world happening. The developing flower structures. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The textures. The little details that you simply don't appreciate from across the room. This is why I keep coming back with the camera. Every week gives me another reason to get closer. And Candy Rain is giving me plenty of reasons. 🍬📸 🌿 No Need to Force Anything One thing remains very clear with this girl: I'm not looking for reasons to interfere. She's not asking for major intervention. She's not showing me a structure that needs to be completely changed. She's not demanding that I redesign her. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's developing. So why would I try to turn her into something else? This is one of those moments where the grower has to know when to step back. Sometimes cultivation is about action. Sometimes cultivation is about restraint. And right now? I'm choosing restraint. Let her do her thing. 💚 Provide. Observe. Enjoy. I think this is probably the simplest way I can describe where we are with Candy Rain. We provide. Water. Nutrition. Light. A stable environment. And support when necessary. We observe. The flowers. The foliage. The structure. The maturation. The changes from week to week. And then... we enjoy it. Because what's the point of doing all this if we don't stop occasionally and appreciate what the plants are giving us? Candy Rain is giving me a beautiful plant. A beautiful story. And honestly... a beautiful reason to smile every time I open the tent. 🍬💚✨ 🌱 One Survivor. One Story. For anyone joining the diary now, the Candy Rain story is a little different from the others. She is the solo survivor from her seed pack in this experiment. What began as an accident became an opportunity. And that opportunity became one of the plants I now genuinely look forward to documenting every week. That's one of the funny things about growing. You don't always know which plant is going to become special to you. Sometimes it's the biggest. Sometimes it's the strangest. Sometimes it's the one that gives you the hardest time. And sometimes... it's the one that simply keeps getting better. Candy Rain has become that girl. 💡 The 8×8 Adventure Continues And of course, Candy Rain remains part of the bigger experiment. For anyone discovering the project for the first time: We're growing twelve different plants together under the same general ecosystem. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same environmental strategy. Same general nutritional approach. Same grower. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And that's what makes the comparison so interesting. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide how they express it. Candy Rain's expression has been one of balance, elegance and consistency. And at Week 10... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Still Just Giving Her What She Needs The feeding strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required Current recorded solution strength is approximately 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. Watering remains approximately 1.25 L per plant / 24h. Nothing dramatic. No special recipe. No complicated intervention. We're simply providing what she needs and letting her continue doing what she's been doing so well. And visually? She's answering beautifully. 🌡️ Current Conditions Current recorded conditions for Week 10: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 90 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°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 continues to remain consistent. And that consistency is important because it allows us to keep watching the plants themselves rather than constantly wondering whether environmental changes are responsible for every difference. Same stage. Same room. Different expressions. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's photographs capture Candy Rain exactly as she is right now. Beautiful. Elegant. Deep green. Flowering. And completely comfortable being herself. There isn't one dramatic feature that needs to carry the entire story. It's the combination. The plant structure. The foliage. The flowers. The colours. The developing resin. The overall balance. She doesn't need to scream for attention. She just looks good. And sometimes... that's enough. Actually, it's more than enough. 🍬✨ 👑 The Glamorous Survivor I think I've found her new title. Not just the survivor. Not just the elegant survivor. She's becoming the Glamorous Survivor. 😂🍬✨ Because look at her. She made it through the beginning. She established herself. She developed her structure. She entered flowering. She kept her beautiful foliage. She kept moving. And now she's standing there looking increasingly refined. She's not trying to be the queen of the room. She's not fighting anybody for the crown. She's just... glamorous. And I absolutely love it. 🔮 Looking Ahead At this point, there isn't much I want to change. And that's actually a wonderful place to be. I'll continue watching the flowers develop. I'll continue watching the resin. I'll continue monitoring the colour and overall plant health. I'll keep documenting the changes with the camera. And most importantly... I'll let her tell me what comes next. Because Candy Rain has already shown me that she knows how to surprise me. She started as the survivor. Then she became the elegant one. Now she's becoming the glamorous one. Who knows what title she'll earn next? 😂🍬 ✨ Let Her Shine I know I'm repeating myself. But honestly... sometimes repetition is deserved. She's amazing. She's beautiful. She's doing her own thing. She's maintaining those gorgeous deep greens. She's developing her flowers. She's moving toward maturity. And she isn't asking for much. So what am I supposed to do? I'm going to give her what she needs. I'm going to keep watching. I'm going to keep photographing. And I'm going to enjoy the hell out of watching this girl finish her story. Candy Rain doesn't need me to make her shine. She's already doing that. I'm just making sure nothing gets in her way. 🍬💚✨ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 10. And our solo survivor continues to impress me. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She's not the most demanding. She's not trying to become something she isn't. She's simply... Candy Rain. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Flowering beautifully. Developing her frost. Moving toward maturity. And doing it all in her own rhythm. That is probably what I appreciate most about her. She doesn't need a dramatic story every week. Her story is simply: she keeps getting better. And sometimes, that's the best story of all. The girl who was simply lucky enough to remain... became a plant I genuinely love watching. The solo survivor. The elegant survivor. And now... the glamorous survivor. 🍬✨👑 Let's make her shine. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder of why this 8×8 Adventure has become such a fascinating journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these experiments, compare plants and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind our Candy Rain survivor. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering the main lighting environment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting into the canopy and giving us another interesting variable to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person stopping by to watch these plants develop. It all makes this adventure even more enjoyable. And Candy Rain? She'll keep doing what Candy Rain does. She'll keep growing. She'll keep flowering. She'll keep shining. And I'll keep providing what she needs while she writes the rest of her story. The solo survivor is still here. Still beautiful. Still glamorous. Still doing her own thing. And honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way. 🍬💚✨ Growers Love, my friends! 🌱💚

This week I have moved out from my last apartment and have moved into a new one. Now she has had more space to develop. She is showing her first pistilos but the smell still under control. Here is winter and too windy, so the smell prob is not a big prob. I'm Intending to let her bloom for at least 2 months / or 2 months and half more. Feed her with 4-14-8 organic yesterday. Shes responding good about it.

Probably only a couple weeks left, so I changed the DWC water to just pH adjusted tap water; pistils are slowly changing color, still less than half are turned. Trichomes are crystal clear and the buds are looking frosty.

Under the new marshydro ts 600 for just under 4 days and already made a difference in growth. second feed now . Moved up to 0.5ml of each per 1 letre water first day of veg is today 1st January

Well, we are a few days early from our usual updates, but we are approaching are final weeks of flower and starting to prepare for harvest. We’re going to start flushing this week, but just trying to figure out the most efficient technique for the best results. If you guys have any tips and ideas we are open to all suggestions. But in the meantime, take care, happy growing, and we’ll update soon!
