More lessons learned. Temps in the tent were hard to keep below 26-27, so I followed the VPD chart to see that early vegging plants can thrive in the 70-75% RH range under those temperatures. They did quite well for a while, and I was seeing some very very promising growth vs. what I had going on in previous weeks. However, they continued to grow closer and closer to my new (and more powerful than my past) LEDs. I was gone for 36hrs and by the time I came back to my plants I noticed widespread light burn on the leaf tips of ALL my plants (helping me eliminate a lot of possibilities).

This week I have seen the bud sites really coming on I removed the last few leaves I am going to as they were over shadowing other but sites. They smell heavenly and I can't tell you how beautiful they are and they love the monkey nutrients. I will start pk 14/15 this week These ladies are growing everyday and I am so excited to see there daily progress from here on in Thanks for reading ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ

this week was a lil challenging, had to get out of LST due to the fact that I broke a branch and that just tripped me off and I took off all my ties , apart from that i started giving her bloom products because I noticed a few hairs. I started applying tiresias mist to one of my branches so I can get pollen sacks to produce my own fem seeds, as I plan on crossing my fortune cookies autoflower with my ak48 autoflower and creating a new strain called "DRAKO" AUTOFLOWER well till next update . O.G. Bang Bang !! out.....

English: I decided to switch to 12/12 after week 6. The risk of the plants becoming too big for the tent was too great for me. Since switching to 12/12, I have also reduced the amount of water and am trying to push the EC in the substrate further in the 3.5-5 direction. I am still giving the full dose of Grow A & B and will continue to do so until week 3 or 4, depending on how they develop. I will also increase the PPFD from 500 to 900 within the first 3 weeks of flowering. Everything seems to be working well so far, the ladies are growing and also got their next defoliation at the end of the 1st week of flowering, as it was getting very dense. New updates coming next week :) Deutsch: Ich habe mich doch dazu entschieden nach Woche 6 auf 12/12 zu switchen. Das Risiko, dass die Pflanzen zu groรŸ fรผr das Zelt werden, war mir zu groรŸ. Seit dem Switch auf 12/12 habe ich auch die Wassermenge reduziert und versuche dadurch den EC im Substrat weiter in die 3.5-5 Richtung zu pushen. Ich gebe weiterhin die volle Dosis Grow A & B und werde das auch weiter bis Woche 3 oder 4 tun, je nachdem wie sie sich entwickeln. AuรŸerdem werde ich auch den PPFD Wert innerhalb der ersten 3 Blรผtewochen von 500 auf 900 hochfahren. Scheint so weit auch alles gut zu funktionieren, die Ladys wachsen und haben am Ende der 1. Blรผtewoche auch ihre nรคchste Defoliation bekommen, da es doch langsam sehr dicht wurde. Nรคchste Woche kommen neue Updates :)

She looks gorgeous,super healthy and green, she's definitely loving the super soil I prepared for her, seems to be developing very good after the topping let's see how she turns out. I also applied a selective defoliation to uncover the lower growth on july 25th she was planted on june 22nd so she's 33 days old now,let's see what happens with this beautiful lady๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’šโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’› peace โœŒ๏ธ

Aug 22: Gorilla Cookies Fast is going smoothly. The manifold is nice and even with 16 colas. Manifolding makes growing and harvest so much easier and produces nice uniform buds. Totally worth it. Defoliated some fan leaves that were shading buds. Aug 23: malted barley and Pro-Mix mixed and applied as a top dressing. You can research using malt as a nutrient for cannabis growing by searching for Clackamas Koot (?). This is the second and final round of using a 5 dollar bag of malt from the local u-brew store. Best value nutrient going (maybe after blackstrap molasses). Aug 27: good weather this week. Also had the UV lights going during midday most days this week. Nice daily progress and these buds are really looking great and still four days to September so weโ€™re nice and early under the stronger sun.

๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 13 The Solo Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Solo ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And our girl... She keeps surprising me. Week after week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ Just when I think I've got a pretty good idea of what Candy Rain is going to do... she looks at me and says: "Actually... no." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ More beautiful. More dense. More compact. More flowers. More structure. More of everything. And honestly? I don't think she likes being called our "solo survivor" anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because she's doing everything she possibly can to look like more than one plant. She's filling her space. She's building flowers everywhere. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as simply "the little solo girl." She's one plant... but she's behaving like she's trying to bring a whole fucking team with her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ And I absolutely love it. She's lush. She's green. She's beautiful. She's moving at her own rhythm. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here... watching. Supporting. Providing what she needs. And trying to keep up with whatever the hell she has decided to do next. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So this week... the spotlight belongs to our Candy Rain girl. Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE SOLO SURVIVOR IS REFUSING TO BE SOLO I think we've officially reached the point where the nickname "solo survivor" is becoming misleading. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because yes... technically... there is only one Candy Rain plant. But look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฌ She's filling herself with flowers. She's creating more and more individual flowering structures. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more compact. She's becoming fuller. And every time I look at her, I find another little section that has developed further. It's almost like she's saying: "Okay, maybe I'm alone... but I'm going to make sure nobody notices." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. Not because she's trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's trying to compete. But because she's simply continuing to develop at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ MORE BUDS, MORE DENSITY, MORE CANDY RAIN The biggest thing I'm noticing this week is simply how much more there is to look at. More flowers. More density. More compact structures. More development. More detail. It's one of those plants where you can stand there and think: "Okay... beautiful." Then you look a little closer: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then closer again: "Wait... there's another one there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ That's what she's doing now. She's filling the plant. She's making herself increasingly substantial. And I really like the compact character we're seeing from her. She's not simply stretching everything out. She's developing these beautiful, increasingly dense flowering structures that give the plant a really full appearance. The photographs this week really show that progression. She's not just flowering anymore. She's becoming. And there's a big difference. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN And then there's the colour. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ She's still giving us that beautiful, lush green appearance. And honestly... I love it. There's something about a healthy-looking green plant that never gets old for me. Especially when you start combining that colour with developing flowers, frost and structure. She has that beautiful contrast. Green foliage. Developing flowers. Resin catching the light. Different textures. Different shades. And all of it coming together into one very pretty girl. She's not trying to turn herself into something else. She's simply being Candy Rain. And Candy Rain is green. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฌ Very, very green. And I like it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ ONE PLANT TRYING TO BECOME MANY This is probably my favourite thing about her right now. She's one plant... but she doesn't look like she wants to behave like one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It's almost as if she's trying to multiply herself through the number of flowering structures she's creating. One girl. Many personalities. Many flowers. Many little places demanding attention. And somehow she keeps making the plant look fuller. It's hilarious. Because I originally called her our solo survivor. Now I'm starting to think she's offended by the word "solo." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's basically saying: "Don't call me alone. Look how many flowers I have." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ Fair enough, girl. Message received. You may technically be one... but you're certainly making enough noise for several. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER And this is what I really enjoy about following her. She doesn't seem to have reached a point where I think: "Okay, that's it. That's what she's going to be." Every week there's something new. A little more density. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more frost. A little more presence. And suddenly... she looks better again. That's what makes the weekly diary so valuable. If you only saw this girl today, you might simply say: "Beautiful Candy Rain." But because we've been watching her week after week... we can see the journey. We can see the progression. We can see the plant slowly becoming more and more substantial. And I absolutely love that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE GETTING MORE INTERESTING And these photographs? I really like them. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฌ Because we're now at the stage where the individual flowers are starting to tell more of the story. The wider shots show the plant. The closer shots show the structure. And then the really close views... well... that's where you start getting lost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ You see the density. You see the developing resin. You see the flower structures becoming more compact. You see the little details that are easy to miss from across the room. And that's exactly why I love documenting these girls. The plant doesn't change overnight. But when you put the photographs from several weeks together... suddenly you can see just how much has happened. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ OUR SOLO SURVIVOR HAS CHARACTER She's really become one of the characters of the 8ร—8. And I think that's worth saying. At the beginning, she was simply: "Our solo survivor." Now? She's Candy Rain. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She has her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own colour. Her own way of developing. Her own personality. And I genuinely look forward to seeing what she's doing when I walk into the room. That's when you know a plant has become more than just another plant. You start recognizing her. You start understanding her. You start noticing the little differences. And that's one of the most beautiful things about growing multiple phenotypes. You stop seeing twelve labels. You start seeing twelve personalities. Candy Rain has definitely developed hers. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY And of course... we come back to one of the foundations of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. ๐Ÿฌโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're still working with the expanded lighting capability at controlled output. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug With around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Candy Rain is receiving those same photons as everybody else. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming dense. She's becoming compact. She's filling her structure. She's becoming more and more beautiful. The photons are the same. The response isn't. And that's the experiment. That's the magic. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us more capability. More flexibility. More available lighting capacity. But we're not simply running everything at maximum just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're watching the plants. And we're letting them tell us their story. Candy Rain is definitely talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ She's saying: "More flowers, please." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And apparently... she's taking the photons and doing exactly that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION This is another beautiful example of why I love having these individual diaries. If somebody only followed Candy Rain... they might think: "This is what the room looks like." But it's not. This is what Candy Rain looks like. The room is the constant. The plant is the variable. And that's what makes this entire project so interesting. Some girls are tall. Some are compact. Some are huge. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some are frosty monsters. Some are heavy beasts. Some are elegant. Some are strange. And Candy Rain? She's the beautiful solo girl who's apparently trying to become a whole crowd. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I wouldn't change that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ I'M MOSTLY JUST SUPPORTING HER NOW And honestly... there isn't much for me to do. She's doing the work. I'm observing. I'm supporting. I'm providing what she wants. And when she needs something... I respond. That's it. There's no need for me to constantly interfere. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's flowering. She's getting denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. So my job becomes simple. Look. Observe. Listen. Support. And let her grow. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes the smartest thing a grower can do is realize that the plant doesn't need to be "fixed." It just needs to be allowed to continue. And Candy Rain? She's continuing beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ SHE'S MAKING THIS ROUND CRAZY I think this is the best way to describe the current stage. She's giving us a crazy round. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฌ Not because she's trying to break records. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. But because every time I think I've understood her... she gives us another little surprise. More density. More flowers. More compact structure. More beauty. More frost. More green. More personality. And I love it. This is exactly why I don't want to put expectations on these plants. Let them show us. Let them tell us. Let them surprise us. Candy Rain is doing exactly that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP And yes... the frost is still part of her story. ๐Ÿฌโ„๏ธโœจ As the flowers become more substantial, that resin-covered character becomes more noticeable. You can see it catching the light. You can see it on the developing flowers. And when you combine that with her beautiful green colour... she has a really attractive appearance. She's not just green. She's green with sparkle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’šโœจ And that's a combination I can absolutely get behind. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN SMALL This is another little observation I really like with her. She's becoming more compact. More dense. More filled. But that doesn't mean she's insignificant. Quite the opposite. The compactness is part of her character. The flowers are becoming substantial within that structure. She's filling the plant instead of simply extending it. And that's what makes her interesting. She's not trying to be the tallest girl in the room. She's trying to be the girl with flowers everywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ And she's succeeding. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not creating a completely different world around Candy Rain. She's part of the same room. Same general foundation. Same approach. And then... we observe what she does with it. And what she's doing is beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE 8ร—8 EXPERIMENT KEEPS TEACHING US And this is why I keep coming back to the same point. The 8ร—8 isn't about finding one perfect plant. It's about seeing the differences. It's about watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. And Candy Rain is giving us another beautiful example. She's showing us that one plant can have a completely different rhythm from another. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to be the frostiest. She doesn't need to be the most colourful. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing exactly that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ ONE GIRL โ€“ MANY STORIES Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. And now... our girl who's apparently trying to become a whole family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ I love the contradiction. One plant. So many flowers. One root system. So many flowering structures. One girl. So much personality. She's proving that "solo" doesn't necessarily mean lonely. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got plenty going on. And honestly... she looks like she's having a fantastic time doing it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development. ๐Ÿฌ More stacking. ๐Ÿ’š That beautiful lush green colour. โ„๏ธ Continued frost development. ๐ŸŒฟ Increasing density and compactness. ๐Ÿ‘€ Her overall progression. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, documenting every step of the journey. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm not trying to predict exactly where she's going. I'm simply watching. Because right now... the story is beautiful. And she's still writing it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... more surprises. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ More flowers. More density. More frost. More development. More beautiful green. And probably another week where I walk into the room and say: "Well... you did it again." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That's Candy Rain. She's going to do what Candy Rain wants to do. And my job is simply to give her the opportunity. Provide what she needs. Support her when she asks. And let her shine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE SOLO GIRL WHO ISN'T ACTING SOLO Week 13. Candy Rain Auto. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ And this girl keeps surprising me. She's becoming more beautiful. More dense. More compact. More full of flowers. More frosty. And somehow... more herself. That's probably what I love most. She's not trying to become another plant. She's not trying to follow somebody else's schedule. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's simply doing Candy Rain things. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ And apparently... Candy Rain things include trying to make one plant look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's lush. She's green. She's compact. She's developing beautiful flowers throughout her structure. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's giving us one hell of a round. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to force her. I'm not going to compare her. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep documenting. And keep enjoying this beautiful girl. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Because sometimes... the solo survivor becomes one of the most memorable plants in the entire room. And I think Candy Rain is doing exactly that. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that beautiful green. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate those compact flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the personality. And let's see just how much more this girl wants to surprise us with. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Candy Rain... you may be one plant... but you're making enough noise for several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Keep doing your thing, girl. Keep stacking. Keep building. Keep shining. Keep being beautifully, stubbornly, wonderfully YOU. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

She's becoming one of my favourites to watch. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ She started this journey as our solo survivor. Now she's apparently trying to prove that one plant can look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ She's beautiful. She's lush. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. She's developing. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here to support her and give her what she asks for. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when the plant says: "Keep going." We keep going. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š So let's give our girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy this crazy round she's giving us. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's see what Candy Rain decides to show us next. Because if this girl has taught me anything... it's that she's not finished surprising us. Not even close. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the green keeps shining, and our solo survivor continues doing everything she can to prove that one plant... can still make a hell of a lot of noise. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine.

Hi people! Sweet Amnesia has undergone decapitation, which, of course, will benefit her!)) In general, it can be said that the phase of active vegetation has begun! and the plant grows very quickly and actively .. all lateral branches develop well .. in a week we will transplant it into a 40 liter pot! and LST will be her best friend!)

Monday, 14.03.2022 All plants seem to be almost fully recovered from phytotoxicity a few weeks back. They are stretching nicely and putting out new leaves. Numerous bud sites developing. I would have wanted them to be bulkier but let's see how they do. No significant rain this past week so I was able to feed a couple times. 8~ml per 5 gallon tap water Ph Down got me to around 6 Ph. I thought I would have needed to water on Thursday since two days had passed since I last watered but the plants seemed turgid and OK and Friday night was the same so I didn't water until Saturday. Found a mature stink bug hiding under a leaf on a stem top.

Unfortunately, the plants have numerous leaves which look unhealthy (discolored, droopy, crispy/decayed). I removed the 3-4 worst looking leaves from each plant every other day, although I know that can be harmful to autos. Started adding in "Sensi Cal" this week to hopefully rebound from potential mineral deficiencies. Still using Recharge microbes once a week. Nutrients are now being administered accurately and at 1/4 the recommended level. Despite the unhealthy state of the plants, the pre-flowering bud sites look pretty good to me. I'm happy to see healthy looking pistils. Needless to say, I'm very eager to get these girls back on track and looking vibrant and verdant ASAP.

11/3 Week 6 Watered roughly one gal each @6.5PH, Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo 1 tps /gal Flower Girl still in the pot, no deficiencies I can see, well new ones :) Mag-Sulfur Foliar spray (Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal) on all as leaving cal-mag out this time Moved the two healthy plants to the center of the light, they can use it, the others might respond well to lower levels. 11/4 Better pics uploaded Placed Brandy on a block of coco coir to bring her canopy up to Layla's level. Moved Maggie to the corner she has a stretch going that I HOPE is ending and I dont want to set the lights to her. Watching that plant carefully Considering a PK boost watching only Layla for that as the other two ... well hell what can they tell me? 11/5 Working to getting the canopy under control with one stunted plant and another stretching like crazy. Put a block under Brandy to move her up level with Layla. Trained down Maggie this growth needs to end, it was already stressed. Still giving light pref to healthy plants. 11/6 Raised lights three clicks, increased extraction, showing some heat stress in those edges. 11/7 Good results on the heat stress curling has ended. Noticed some improvement also in the tops of Brandy and Maggie, so raised lights another couple of clicks. See if it continues, coming up on a make or break feeding in couple of days. update Foliar Feed All - Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal Well Maggie's came today - To runoff- 1% peroxide - 5ml CalMag - PH 6.8 Hitting Sulfur as hard as I can. Before pics posted Brandy not dry enough waiting Layla just got fed but she got pics too as there are signs of Mag deficiency 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml as a PK booster JIC 11/8 Video of plants 24hrs after giving Maggie the h2o2 1% , think she looks better lets see how it goes 11/9 48 hrs after treatment and Maggie is showing great improvement, serious improvement in leaf structure and coloring. Pics at lights out tomorrow new week anyway. Brandy showing some improvement but its early. Canopy is level now so lights set to Maggie being slightly taller ***Last update before the new week.*** May have found ONE of my problems,certainly not THE problem, but one. I have been using lemon juice as a PH UP since we went organic late last spring. Because of all the problems I have been looking into a lot of things further and found that lemon juice begins to degrade as a PH up after as little as an hour. A 6.0 PH water gallon can go to 6.5ish in 24 hours simply sitting in a dark corner in a jug. One can imagine the variances in soil. Why I dont know but I am going back to chemical PH additives post haste in fact its already done.
