🌸 Folder 09A | Pink Rosay Auto Week 2 – Building the Foundation of Something Special Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own diary and every plant is allowed to tell its own story. This week belongs to Pink Rosay Auto 09A. From the moment she settled into her new home, she has done little else but impress. Strong growth. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. And perhaps most exciting of all… An incredible willingness to respond to every bit of training she’s received. Some plants fight you. Others work with you. Pink Rosay A already feels like she’s becoming a true partner in this grow. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions Every plant in the project continues growing under identical environmental conditions, allowing each phenotype to express its own unique characteristics without external variables influencing the comparison. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres The room continues to remain exceptionally stable, providing the perfect environment for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program Pink Rosay A continued following the complete Plagron Terra nutrition schedule throughout the week. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The feeding remains intentionally balanced, encouraging explosive root expansion while supplying everything needed for strong structural growth before flowering accelerates. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week has been nothing short of impressive. Every few days she seemed noticeably larger than before. Her central stem has thickened considerably while producing a wonderfully even distribution of side branches that are already beginning to compete with the main leader. The internodal spacing remains tight without becoming overcrowded, creating a compact yet highly productive structure. One of the most enjoyable aspects of watching this phenotype has been the speed at which she responds. Almost overnight, new shoots emerge from every node, eager to occupy every bit of available light. Her leaves display excellent colour, healthy turgor and outstanding vigor, all clear signs that the root system is developing exactly as hoped. She simply looks happy. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress This week focused on gentle canopy management and encouraging an even distribution of future flowering sites. Daily leaf tucking exposed developing secondary branches while maintaining excellent airflow through the centre of the plant. Gentle low-stress training helped guide the main branches outward, opening the canopy without slowing her impressive rate of development. What stands out most is how naturally she responds. Every adjustment seems to trigger another burst of growth. Rather than showing signs of stress, she appears to embrace the extra light reaching the lower branches, rewarding each training session with even more vigorous development. It’s exactly the kind of response every grower hopes to see. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s photographs tell the story beautifully. Early overhead shots reveal a compact young plant already displaying remarkable symmetry. As the week progresses, that symmetry evolves into a broad, balanced canopy with fan leaves stretching confidently toward the edges of the pot. The macro images highlight vigorous new shoots emerging from every node, each one already preparing to become a future flowering branch. Side profile photographs showcase the increasingly thick central stem supporting a canopy that is becoming wider rather than taller—a fantastic trait for maximizing light distribution under the LED. By the final images of the week, she has transformed from a promising seedling into a confident young plant full of potential. It’s one of those weeks where the camera truly captures the speed of healthy development. ⸻ 🌸 Looking Ahead The coming week promises to be an exciting one. With her vigorous response to training and naturally balanced architecture, I expect the canopy to continue widening as secondary branches rapidly catch up with the main stem. As flowering begins to approach, the structure already being established should provide an excellent framework capable of supporting numerous evenly developed bud sites. If she continues growing with this level of consistency, Pink Rosé A has every opportunity to become one of the stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. She isn’t simply growing. She’s building something. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you for following another chapter of this incredible journey. Every week reinforces one simple truth: when genetics, environment and careful cultivation come together, each plant reveals a personality entirely its own. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can document their successes, learn from one another and celebrate this amazing passion together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the Terra nutrient line that continues to deliver vigorous, healthy growth with remarkable consistency throughout every stage of this project. To the breeders behind these beautiful genetics—thank you for the dedication, patience and years of work that make adventures like this possible. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries. Your encouragement, your questions, your advice and your shared enthusiasm are what make this community so special. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One beautiful surprise at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

With every new plant in my box bringing something new in my techniques

🌸 Week 7 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed and flowering is now in full swing across all 6 phenos 👀🔥 The differences between the plants continue to grow, and it’s becoming easier to see which phenos have the potential to become real standouts by harvest time. 📈 Current observations: Pheno #1 and #6 have finally started to catch up and are now slowly building buds as well 🌸 Pheno #5 continues to dominate the tent and has stretched to an impressive 130 cm The flower development on Pheno #5 is especially promising, with some bud sites already suggesting the potential for 25 cm+ colas if everything continues as planned 🔥 Pheno #2 and #6 are being overshadowed by the larger phenos and are clearly falling behind in overall size and vigor The structural differences between the phenos are now more obvious than ever, with some focusing on height while others remain more compact and bushy 💡 Environment & setup: The grow has now reached its current limits in terms of space and lighting: Light fixture raised to its maximum height Light intensity increased to 80% Summer temperatures pushing the tent up to around 32°C ☀️ Relative humidity averaging around 67% Despite the higher temperatures, the plants are still pushing forward and stacking flowers nicely. The next few weeks will be all about bud development, density, and resin production. 🏆 At the moment, Pheno #5 is definitely demanding attention, but there is still plenty of time for surprises. Sometimes the biggest plant doesn't end up being the best one, and that's exactly what makes a pheno hunt so exciting. 💬 Which pheno do you think will come out on top when harvest day arrives?

So this lady giant just started the pre flowering strech, but she forgot she is already 6ft tall, WTF ! HAHAHA I went for a heavy lollipopping and defoliation on day 40 in hopes that she would stress and stop stretching since i do not have any more space for her, but as you can see next week, it did not work as planned.... haha stay tuned

. Day 20, started some lst on the baby great response from this plant Day 21 everything is going good, maybe a little slower but I think it will retake is time I just adjusted lamp and ph. Let’s see

Curing 1 and half plants and froze the other 1 and a half for hash later. Can't wait to try!

Now they are a bit bigger , this is the start of week 2 , now day 19 in real time from germination. I would appreciate any help to maximise the yield. I feed around 500-600 ppm. How much should the drain be ? I have to plants struggling, one had 500 run off , should I give nutes or flush them more ?

7/12 - dumped ice on the soil and turned the lights off. She will get the chop late tomorrow night. 7/13 - chopped and hung whole with humidifier set at 60% and trying to keep temp in low 70s. Not sure if she will get a full 10 days before getting kicked out by Super Silver Haze from below but I hope so!! 7/25 - into the jar she goes. My hands are so damn sticky!

the c99s got ten days of plain water then came the chop at week 10 and 3 days with a fairly decent 30% amber all things considered !

Day 60....I've set them free from LST and I'm gonna give them plain water tomorrow..can't wait this last 2 weeks to go. As it is my first grow, i am already happy by getting closer and closer to harvest...can't really wait for the cure and the final results.

All going well with no problems. All are fading fast now. Most are getting close to harvest. Most be ready in next 7 days. Apart from super lemon haze probably be two weeks ppfd been around 900-800 Dli 38-35

D-37 : Everyone looks good. I've made the last topping for those girls. There still some lST to do during the next week so the mains can grow the right way. Then, on the following week, I'll turn everybody to flowering mode and switch the light 75% then 100%. I noticed that they are drinkning a bit more now. D-43 : Everything still ok ! The LST is almost over, and I think I'll turn to flowering mode winthin 10 days max.

Flushed these yesterday, wish I higherd the netting now everything’s falling

7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.

Hey guys :-) . Today the plant was sprayed again with neem oil. There weren't any more trips to be seen after the second application, but to be on the safe side, you did it again today get a cure. That's why the beautiful dark shimmer on the leaves :-). The ladies are developing well and have 1 week before I change the time to flowering. Normally I would let it get bigger and train because the tent only has 80x80 and 180 watts are available, so I will switch it over soon enough. This week it was poured twice with 0.8 l each time (for nutrients, see table above). Otherwise everything was cleaned and, as always, everything was checked.
