🌱 Passion Fruitz #5 — Week 4 | The Underdog Every grow has its own story, and this week the spotlight belongs to the only remaining Passion Fruitz in Folder #5. Originally this project started with two phenotypes, Plant A and Plant B, but sometimes nature has other plans. One seedling didn’t make it through the early stages, leaving this beautiful girl to carry the Passion Fruitz banner on her own. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I decided to embrace it. Every plant deserves its chance to tell its own story. And what a beautiful story she’s already writing. ⸻ Unlike several of her sisters, this phenotype started life at a slower pace. She received exactly the same treatment as every other plant in the room: • 12/12 from seed 🌱 • Same Future of Grow LED intensity and PPFD • Same Plagron Terra feeding schedule • Same watering routine • Same environment • Same temperature and humidity • Same love and attention Yet genetics always have the final word. Some plants explode immediately… Others spend extra time building an exceptional root system before putting all their energy into vegetative growth. Looking at her structure now, I believe she’s doing exactly that. The stem is thickening beautifully, the internodal spacing remains compact, and every new set of leaves arrives larger than the previous one. She isn’t struggling. She’s preparing. ⸻ One detail immediately caught my attention this week. Her leaves are absolutely gorgeous. Wide, symmetrical, deep green, perfectly flat and beautifully formed, giving her an incredibly healthy appearance. Every new leaf unfolds with confidence, showing excellent vigor and no signs of deficiencies or nutrient stress. Sometimes the slower plants end up becoming the strongest ones once flowering begins, and watching this phenotype develop is becoming one of the most interesting parts of the project. ⸻ 🌿 Environment The room continues running exactly as planned. • Temperature: 33°C day / 25°C night • Relative Humidity: 63% • Root Zone Temperature: 21°C • Nutrient Solution: 26°C • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • CO₂: 639 ppm Even with the warmer summer temperatures, the environment remains remarkably stable, allowing every phenotype to express itself under identical conditions. ⸻ 💜 Feeding Schedule This week she received the Plagron Terra program: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The feeding remains intentionally gentle, encouraging healthy root expansion before increasing nutrient demand later in the cycle. At this stage, patience is far more valuable than pushing nutrients. ⸻ 🌱 Development She currently stands around 25 cm tall. While she’s smaller than some of the other Passion Fruitz phenotypes, her architecture is exactly what I like to see. Compact. Balanced. Healthy. Every node is stacking tightly, giving the impression that once stretch begins she’ll produce a dense, manageable structure that’s perfect for indoor cultivation. Growth has noticeably accelerated over the last few days, making me think she’s beginning to settle into her rhythm. Will she remain the smallest? Maybe. Will she surprise everyone later? Very possibly. That’s one of the reasons I love growing from seed. Every phenotype writes its own story. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Not every champion starts in first place. Some quietly build their foundation while everyone else steals the spotlight. This Passion Fruitz may have started slower than her sisters, but she’s showing every sign of becoming an exceptionally healthy and vigorous plant. Whether she stays compact or suddenly catches up over the coming weeks doesn’t really matter. Right now she’s exactly where she needs to be. Healthy plants don’t need to win races. They just need time. ⸻ As always, thank you to Plagron for the incredible nutrition, Zamnesia for making this amazing project possible, and to everyone following this 12/12-from-seed adventure from the very beginning. Your support, comments, advice and encouragement make this journey even more rewarding. See you all next week, and let’s discover together what this little underdog has planned for us. 🌱💚

Week went well, had a few bug issues that resulted in using a sulphur based pesticide to get rid of spidermite issue that has haunted my grow space for a couple of years. Used only one application to get rid of mites this week, let the application sit on plant for 5 hours before taking outside and rinsing plant off with hose. Edit: 2nd plant was a white rhino seed from my indoor grow but turned out male.

Stretching like hell and finally throwing a few white pistols! Did well in several t storms this week, now to get thru ‘cane season

I’m so hyped for this skunk to be finished! 🌿🔥 The scent is getting insane and the frost is looking heavy. ❄️💨 I can’t wait to finally harvest this beauty. A message to Zondy: I need to get this off my chest. Zondy, I am deeply sorry. I lied to you, and looking back, I realize I’ve been a terrible person. I acted like a complete jerk, and you didn't deserve that. I truly regret how I handled things and I'm sorry for being such a bad friend. Current Grow Status: The girls in the box are looking solid: • Temperature: Stable at 22.7°C • Humidity: 52.1% (ideal for this stage) • VPD: 1.32 kPa • Light: 100% power A Peace Offering for Zondy 🌿 The air in the tent is heavy and sweet, But my heart is heavy with the lies I repeat. Zondy, my brother, I drifted astray, I acted a fool and threw trust away. I was a shadow, a ghost in the wrong, While these green queens grew sturdy and strong. I’m sorry for failing, for being so low, I’m a terrible man, and I want you to know. But look at these crystals, this skunk in the light, Let it burn through the darkness and make it all right. Let’s spark up the peace, let the smoke clear the air, Until only the truth and the friendship are there.

Oh yes 😍

ITA: finalmente ho comprato il deumidificatore che mi serviva. L'ho attaccato alla spina il giorno36 e spero che svolga il suo lavoro. Le piante stanno bene senza sintomi di eccessi o carenze di fertilizzazione. edit: il deumidificatore sta svolgendo il suo lavoro: ha abbassato l'umidità che è passata da 80-90% a 50% circa. ENG: I finally bought the dehumidifier I needed. I plugged it in on day 36 and hope it will do its job. Plants do well with no symptoms of excess or deficiency in fertilization edit: the dehumidifier is doing its job: it has lowered the humidity which has gone from 80-90% to about 50%.

Super dank will be growing again

Todo tranquilo 🍀

Well there looking really good the smell fairly skunky with a little orange peel smell so yeah the got even bigger they have stopped frowning well some of them but yeah there awesome plant but just doesn’t provide me with enough bud lol so yeah if you want more for this plant veg is where it’s at lol so what I mean is veg for a longer time if you have the space cause these plants grow really squat

cant be happier with the results tbh!!!

Hey guys . A wonderful week goes by with a super growth :-). After I topped it for the first time last week, it recovered very quickly and showed great growth. I don't think I will use topping again on the lady because I should slowly blossom with a few other women :-) think it will be ready in the next 7-14 days for Flowering 👍. This week it was poured 3 times with 1 l each time (for nutrients, see table above). The tent was cleaned and the health of all women was checked :-). After the photos she was sprayed again with neem oil so that the last little tripse disappeared. Even if you can't see any more trips I will spray it one last time next week to make sure :-). I wish you all a happy new year 2022 ☺️.

Going to start a few grows to get a supply train going. Once I do these 4 seed, all I have to do is grow 2 plants at once and I will never have to buy again.

First grow since 2020, with around 250 grams for an outdoor which has kept me going as I'm not a big smoker. No option for outdoor this year so with summer coming to an end indoor it will be in my tin garden shed. Bit of a heat wave this week but likely to cool down by the time I plant. Then just hoping the weather gods are nice for the next 4 months. Not too hot. Not too cold...just right🙄 Soaked seeds last night and now in paper towels. Planning on 5 plants anyhow, will veg for 4 weeks and flower for 9 to 10 or whenever ready. Hoping to harvest early winter before it gets really cold. Coco coir perlite mix this time and using the whole Mills range. Should be fun anyhow. Not expecting the same rewards of my last outdoor, but anything over 100 grams I'll be happy with. Anyhow, as far as germination goes I have 5 seeds to play with. In a glass of water for 8 hours, then paper towel in a zip lock bag in a warm location, including my pocket and next to me sleeping. Within 24 hours 3 of the 5 had germinated. I have doubts that 1 of the 2 remaining will germinate at all as it's a small mongrel seed but who knows. Update...all seeds germinated even the last mongrel seed. I like keeping em warm, in bed with me, in my pocket when cold and not in bed. The last seed that I didn't think had a chance from the start popped 2 days after the rest, after I put the zip lock bag with the paper towel in my pocket for a couple of hours. 100% ain't bad that's for sure. Every time I grow I do the same thing, no u may not see this method recommended but it works for me. Last few grows I've germinated them in my underwear, while wearing of course. Nice and warm thats for sure, maybe its the fluctuation 🤣 Go on, do a google search on the underwear germination method, doubt any hits will be found 🤣

2/12/25 top dressed with 2 tsp grow 1 tsp microbe and 2 tsp bloom. this genetic is always sooo freaking frosty. shes already starting to frost up on the fan leaves. finally looking like shes in flower. it took her awhile to get started i feel like compared to past grows/ other Cultivars. 2/18/25 she has a very nice and even structure to her. a bunch of tops that are 3-5 node top colas with a nice disconnected set of buds after an inch two space between the nodes. frosty gassy and fairly large considering pot size.

Very good week, used tie down method day 19 and they bounced back well within a day, started there veg feed today day 21 by adding fish mix, roll on next week.

Premise was to see how "optimal" i can get my first ever Grow. After some Research i came up with the idea to build an Aeroponic System myself using Water Buckets and Venturi Injektors to provider proper aeration. Sadly Seedlings had to wait in EazyCubes cause some parts and Nutrients didnt arrive on time. System was fully operationable on Day 16. Atami Nutrients are inside the System since Day 24, Calmag has been added Day 28. Before that, some Tri-part Nutrient. Planning on switching to Plagron in the Long run, as well as adding Co2, a water chiller and a ~700W LED. Stats: - 5 30L Buckets, 4 Plants and 1 Reservoir - Recirculation happens through 90mm PVC pipes - 16000 l/h pump going through 4x 1" Venturi Injektors pulling around 700 liters of Air per hour - 1mx1mx2m Growtent - 250W The Jackson Nemesis LED Happy about any Questions and Suggestions!

She is marching toward harvest! Buds getting very sticky! I left the tape measure visible in the video for scale. Good? Helpful?

They are healthy and smelly as usual, very nice recovery from the dry period they've gone trough. 😈
