First week going smooth,just a little bit cold but still feeling good

Day 1 flower lights on 100% 640w draw. Felt amazing inside right when I unzipped the tent, I wanted to chill in the tropical climate. I will still continue to add humic, organic booster, to water. Now along with 1/2 tbsp of soluble PK (bluesky organics FLOWER2). This will bring my natural ph to 6.5ish bringing it down without the need for "ph down" in solution. I will try to get into Dr. Thunder today and remove some more foliage of what I couldn't reach last night. day5 video, showing off custom spectrum. CW, NW, R on 100%, UVA and IR off. IR will make things stretch more, UVA is off because no trics yet. I added a lot of 7month old coffee grounds I've been saving for N boost, then finding out I had 17-0-0 blood meal. I also started to add very little soluble PK into 5 gal along with normal watering ingredients, like always. I am verry happy with things are until day 19-21 where defoliation again.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

What's up Growmies🤟🏽. I am back with another week #9 is in the books, hello Week #10. I noticed small rust spots and yellowing on the top sugar leaves on Tropicana Cookies, White LSD #2 and Caramelicious. It isn't fungus, (it doesn't rub off and is more like its burned into the leaf rather than growing on it) so I'm guessing it is due to a lack of calcium or magnesium. As a result I have implemented calmag into the feedings. I swear it creeped up out of nowhere. Other than that things are going very well, I am enjoying the journey. It is crazy to me how my 2 white LSD plants while the same seed have taken on different characteristics. White LSD #2 has taken on a pinkish/red undertone which looks pretty amazing if you ask me. I wonder if I mislabeled it at the beginning of my grow and if it is actually my Tropicana Purple Cookies? I doubt it but then again I was high around the time I put these babies from their incubators into their final home. Not much to report other than I stopped smoking new years eve, so for the first time in a long time I have clean urine🙌🏾🙌🏾. I mainly stopped to take a tolerance break and to prove to myself that I am in control. I will be tasting these suckers once they are done. I did the same thing on my last grow, took a little over 90 day hiatus, once harvested and I decided to smoke, boy was I super zooted! It was like the first time I got high, had me questioning why I smoke because I was sooo stoned😂. I'm looking forward to feeling that way again. It won't be long now another 7 to 8 weeks (including 1 week to dry and 2 to cure) and I will be smoking again more than likely. I still have them on a 2 waterings with nutes and 2 waterings with plain ph'd water schedule. Going forward I plan on adding calmag into the mix, which is something I didn't have to use on any of my 6 previous grows, we shall see how it goes. Until next time my friends, Happy Growing, and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

*****Week 15 growth – March 13 to 19, 2021 – Week 6 flower ****** Feeding has ended this week and we are in flush mode now. The girls have just started to slow down their drinking and pistols are changing colour, buds are swelling, they are getting ready to finish. Added the UV and IR light bars in this week. Started the week with just one bar and then both in place by end of week. Each bar has 10 x 730nm, 10 x 395nm, 6 x 660nm pulling 30 watts each. Trichome enhancers!! Working with the new light this run I have certainly pushed them with more light intensity than they should have received, broke 1100 PAR for a bit. This has also started to cause some foxtails to begin rather than staying compact and swelling the buds. Know for next time……always changes to make 😊 Little more detail….. Mar 13/21, Day 36 - Feed day with full line of Innovating Plant Products but at ¾ strength. - Keeping up the feeding but thinking about nitrogen levels and working on reducing. - feeding with grow – 0.5, micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 0.75, B Storm – 2, S Storm – 3, Terp – 3, Jet Fuel – 1.5, Rezin 1 - 1300ppm and 6.2pH - GSCHB – 3L - Added in the first UV bar today Mar 14/21, Day 37 - Seeing lots of swelling these days from the girls. - Microbe feeding today…….possibly last round of microbes. - Plain tap water with Recharge @ ½ tsp/gal and Natures Candy @ 1.5ml - 400ppm and 6.1pH - 3L all around today…..very little run off. Mar 15/21, Day 38 - Another feed day today. Last week of feed so pushing them a little more. No Grow added! Last couple of feeds with CalMag as well, seeing some magnesium issues so giving last dose. - feeding with micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 1, B Storm – 2.5, S Storm – 3, Terp – 3, Jet Fuel – 1.5, MagNifiCal – 1.5ml - 1175ppm and 6.0pH - GSCHB – 3L Mar 16/21, Day 39 - Just giving the basic building blocks at this stage. Most of the supplements not added this feeding. - feeding with Grow – 0.5, micro – 1.5, bloom – 2, carbs – 1, Rezin – 1.5ml, MagNifiCal – 0.5ml - 875ppm and 6.0pH - GSCHB – 2.5L Mar 17/21, Day 40 - Last Feed Day……calling it at day 40 this run!!!!! - 4L of feed water left from yesterday so added in 12L of RO water to keep the ppm down. - Left over plus Rezin @ 2ml, Overdrive @ 2ml (its hard to let go of your routines…I have been using Overdrive for so long……it feels wrong to not be using it this run….snuck in a couple ml😊) - 485ppm and 6.0pH – GSCHB - 2.5L - Light power pushed back up to 525 watts……..keeping the intensity up to hit the lower bud sites….will see what happens to the uppers. Mar 18/21, Day 41 - Starting flush but not hitting the pots with 12 gallons of water each type of flush! Will just drop the ppm down to nothing and use RO water……planning on having close to 3 weeks to flush….second guessing that I really have that long though so may actually end up adding a flushing agent to the girls…..decide in the next 4 days so can leave plain water time if I do. - Watering with Enzymes @ 2ml…….clean up the roots and help them get more of the ppm out of the media. - 100ppm and 5.9pH……..missed the pH but not adding both up and down, ran with this. - GSCHB - 3L - Light power pulled back down 480 watts Mar 19/21, Day 42 - Dry out day today. Will be letting the pots get dryer now before adding more moisture. - Leaving them for today though. Give flushing agent in next 2 days if going to. - Work down the light intensity more in next couple of days as well. - UV lights going now for 3 hours per day on both fixtures at the middle of the light schedule.

FBA2504-week 1 of Veg This week has been wild. Once the roots made a foundation the upper growth has been explosive the last few days. Really cool to watch and see the daily growth. I introduce calmag and grow nutrients this week starting at a 1/4 strength. All in all they've responded well showing no burn what so ever. One of them does have some weird leaf structure going on but looks like its fixing itself. Happy Growing

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making their way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying position all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 A little worried today her birth Twin the BA I am growing out is looking great and is raised towards the light and this one is just slightly under.. Will keep an eye on Her. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 Walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. Also looking at the roots and she has some poking out the bottom but just not in the water yet.. Luckily we are set for 14 days before next water change so the system will stay stable and her sister already has roots in the water so she should only be a day or two behind.. we will just keep tracking but she is delayed. Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Roots in the Water!!! Huston, we have a successful launch. This grow is on! Humidity was a little low this morning so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that the temp looks great, the PH looks good, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning from over filling the cloning machine seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started. Everything for growth and environment is looking good and on track, there are a couple of mutations with this Lady will keep an eye on those leaves. IMO this grow is going A lot during this week 1 then week 1 of the last grow when I had them drowning. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Well, to be honest, I have never seen any autoflower strain beeing as big and flowery after 28 days from seed, as Gorilla Zkittlez is. Crazy plants, all 3 of them doing gr8! Dos si Dos is a bit smaller, but its a different strain and should grow smaller. Crazy and gr8, all looks fantastic! Cant wait for buds to form. Cheers!

en lineas generales bien el cultivo. la genetica es buena aunque no esta muy estabilizada. no es resistente a los hongos, la cola mas grande que estaba vencida sobre otras plantas tiene botritis ne la parte baja de cada cogollo con lo que se habran perdido facil 30g en seco.

Went up and seen how the girls are getting on there first week out in the wild by themself and I'm. Over the moon there all safe and happy weather looking great for the next week

Bewässerung: 2000 ml jeden 2 Tag in der achten Woche pH-Wert: 6,3 EC-Wert: 1,9 mS/cm Temperatur: 30ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 55% Schädlingsbekämpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekämpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :), aber zur Sicherheit haben wir wieder ein paar Raubmilben an die Pflanzen gehenkt. PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s DLI: 38 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt CalMag von BioBizz zu Prävention. Ab Tag 44 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Mineralischen NPK Dünger (NPK 3,5-6-6) zu Gießen, Plagron wurde auch hinzugefügt. Besonderheiten: -Tag 44 heute wurde sie gegossen und wir haben den Dünger angepasst -Tag 46 sie war beim Friseur 😛 -Tag 48 die Blumen werden langsam dicker 😍

Esta semana pasada ha seguido creciendo pero a menos ritmo, luna nueva que tampoco ayuda y un espacio ya reducido para su tamaño aun asi hemos solucionado tema plagas con aceite de neem y aracnabis de terranabis, como vemos en las fotos las raices blancas indican que hemos llegado a tiempo para el trasplante, hemos podado los primeros dos nudos para dar fuerza superior, estamos en luna creciente veremos como tira con el trasplante y la ayuda lunar! Buenos humos

Last week of life for the Gorilla Sherbet very delicate perfumes!! S.A.D. in full development of buds despite being a 90% indica the end is still a long way off 💪💪. Tropicanna between the two as a very full and fragrant maturation phase!!🤙🤙Adoss

Very bushy grow, gonna have the net up soon to spread the leaves out a bit.

Everyone is looking great right now! Even the small sativas! All the indicas needed daily low-stress training and some fan leaves to be cut off to expose more light to the bud sites. Really holding on to a lot of potential right now. Hoping for the best!

😄🤟💯

Última semana de floración de estas candy caramelo y es que vaya flores son como rocas muy compactas kio, de lo mejor que e visto también en mucho tiempo fumetillas. Plantas pequeñas con un buen porte y un buen grosor de tallo, son bastante rápidas a la hora de florecer, os aseguro que las aguantaba una semana más pero por temas de virus y tal decido cortarlas ya que también están bien bastante contento en verdad con esta varieddd. Mantuve ph hasta el final controlando humedad y temperatura pocas veces desvarío el asunto. Muy muy contento zambeza hizo un fast bastante curiosa con olores dulces .

🌹 Pink Rozay Auto B - Week 4 | Early Flowers, Big Dreams 🌹 Some plants quietly follow the rhythm of the room. Others decide to write their own timeline. Pink Rozay Auto B is proving to be one of those special girls. While the entire 8×8 Adventure is progressing beautifully under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, she and her sister have clearly decided they aren’t waiting for anyone. Both have entered flowering noticeably earlier than many of their neighbors, already stacking fresh white pistils and showing that unmistakable transition from vegetative growth into reproductive mode. Whether they’ll ultimately finish well ahead of the others or simply settle back into the group’s pace remains to be seen—but that’s exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Every day brings another lesson. This diary is another chapter in documenting that unique journey. ⸻ 🌱 Life Inside the 8×8 Adventure The room continues to evolve into exactly what I hoped this experiment would become. Multiple cultivars… Multiple phenotypes… One environment… …all responding in their own completely unique ways despite receiving identical treatment. Watching these differences emerge is one of the greatest rewards of this project. Pink Rozay Auto B isn’t the tallest plant in the room, nor the widest, but she carries herself with incredible confidence. Every day the structure becomes a little more refined, with new flower sites appearing throughout the canopy while maintaining a compact and manageable shape. She may not demand attention… …but she certainly earns it. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training, Better Light Training continues to be extremely light and intentional. Rather than forcing the plant into unnatural shapes, I’m simply guiding her architecture little by little. Low Stress Training continues to spread the branches outward while preserving the natural growth momentum. Combined with regular leaf tucking, more light now reaches the lower developing shoots without removing healthy foliage unnecessarily. It’s amazing how much difference simply moving a few leaves can make. Every exposed node becomes another opportunity for a future flower site, helping create a more balanced canopy while allowing airflow to penetrate deeper into the plant. Sometimes the smallest adjustments deliver the biggest results. ⸻ 🌸 Racing Into Flower One thing is becoming increasingly obvious. Pink Rozay Auto B is moving. Fast. The top flowers are already producing beautiful clusters of bright white pistils, and several lower branches have joined the race as well. Compared with many of the surrounding plants, she’s clearly a step ahead in flower initiation. Whether this means she’ll ultimately finish earlier or simply started blooming sooner is impossible to know at this stage—but that’s part of the excitement of documenting every single week. Nature always has the final word. ⸻ 🌡️ Summer Challenges Continue Summer growing always keeps us humble. Even with the air conditioning working around the clock, keeping temperatures under complete control during the hottest days remains one of the biggest daily challenges. This week the environment averaged: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution: 26°C • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 • 🌿 CO₂: 639 ppm Considering the outside temperatures, I’m genuinely pleased with how stable the room has remained. The plants certainly don’t seem to mind. Healthy color, vigorous growth and strong turgor continue to suggest they’re adapting very well. ⸻ Feeding Program This week the feeding schedule remained simple and consistent using the Plagron Terra line: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The combination continues to promote vigorous vegetative growth while providing plenty of support as flowering begins. No need to complicate things. Healthy roots continue to build healthy flowers. ⸻ 🔬 Looking Forward Over the coming week I’ll continue monitoring her carefully. If she keeps flowering at this pace, she could become one of the earliest finishers inside the entire 8×8 Adventure. Or… She might simply be an early bloomer before settling into the same finishing window as everyone else. Either outcome is exciting. That’s exactly why I love running multiple genetics together—every phenotype tells its own story. Pink Rozay Auto B has definitely captured my attention. Now it’s her turn to show us what she’s truly capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure. Every like, every comment, every question and every bit of encouragement makes these journals even more enjoyable to create. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can share knowledge and learn together. Massive appreciation as well to Plagron for supplying the nutrition driving this entire run, and to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this project possible. Finally… Thank you to everyone following the entire 8×8 Adventure from seed to harvest. Every week brings us one step closer, and I can’t wait to see where Pink Rozay Auto B decides to take us next. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚
