Week 2 - Vegetation | Candy Rain Auto Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure. Today we’re checking in on Candy Rain Auto, one of the single-plant folders in this project and a cultivar that has had a slightly different start compared to some of her sisters. For anyone joining the diary for the first time, this grow documents multiple Zamnesia cultivars grown side by side under a 12/12 From Seed approach. Most cultivars are represented by two phenotypes, but Candy Rain is one of the single-plant entries, making every observation particularly valuable as we follow her development from seed to harvest. Before diving into this week’s progress, it’s worth mentioning why Candy Rain currently appears a little smaller than many of the other plants in the room. The difference isn’t dramatic, but she is running a few days behind the more advanced phenotypes. In a project where growth is documented daily and plants are photographed constantly, even a small timing difference becomes very noticeable. A few extra days at this stage can make a surprisingly large visual difference between plants. Fortunately, what we’re seeing isn’t a problem—it’s simply a different starting pace. Throughout Week 2, Candy Rain continued establishing herself and showed steady, healthy development. The stem remains upright, the foliage displays a healthy green coloration, and the newest growth is emerging exactly as expected for a plant at this stage of life. While some of her sisters are already pushing further into vegetative development, Candy Rain is focusing on building a solid foundation first. Root development, early leaf expansion, and establishment inside the final container are currently the priorities, and she appears to be handling each of those tasks beautifully. One thing that makes this update particularly interesting is that Candy Rain is receiving the same feeding program as the rest of the room despite her slightly smaller size. The reasoning is simple. Managing multiple separate feeding schedules inside a large multi-cultivar project can quickly become complicated, and consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing individual adjustments. Rather than creating a completely separate nutrient regime, Candy Rain has been following the same balanced approach as her sisters while being monitored closely for any signs of stress. So far, she seems perfectly comfortable with that decision. Current nutrition consists of: • Plagron Terra Grow for vegetative development • Power Roots to encourage strong root establishment • Pure Zym to support a healthy substrate environment • Sugar Royal as part of the overall cultivation strategy throughout the cycle Despite being slightly younger developmentally, the plant continues responding positively to the feeding program. Leaf color remains healthy, growth remains active, and no obvious signs of nutrient excess are visible at this stage. One of the most important lessons in cultivation is understanding that plants don’t all develop according to the same timeline. Sometimes growers become concerned when comparing one plant to another, but comparison only tells part of the story. What matters most is whether the plant is moving forward. And Candy Rain is absolutely moving forward. Each day brings a little more leaf mass, a little more stem development, and a little more confidence. The foundation is being built, and that’s exactly what we want to see during these early stages. If anything, this slight delay makes her story even more interesting. Watching a plant catch up and develop its own rhythm is often one of the most rewarding parts of documenting a grow from beginning to end. For now, the plan remains simple: maintain stable environmental conditions, continue the current feeding program, monitor development closely, and allow Candy Rain to continue finding her pace naturally. Overall, Week 2 has been a positive and encouraging week. She may be one of the smaller plants in the room right now, but she is healthy, active, and steadily progressing in the right direction. And sometimes that’s exactly how great plants begin. Thank you to everyone following along, supporting the diary, sharing knowledge, and helping make this community such an incredible place to learn and grow together. A special thank you as always to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to every grower documenting their journey alongside us. Until next week, growers love and happy growing everyone. 🌱💚

The girls are hungry! Despite seeing some nitrogen excess they are still wanting more phosphorus. The Bonnie and Clyde have been a bit of a learning curve, but overall, I’m very happy with these Autoflowers so far! Some of the biggest I’ve grown to date. Humidity has been a struggle this week, trying to keep my VPD on point. Otherwise it’s been a good week of growth. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦🌱❤️😎💨

The Afghan #1 has received her final defoliant. At the end of week six she is 78 cm tall. Has put on significant weight with the calyxes fully swollen now emerging into bud formation. Leaves fading yellowing. Stem growth slow paced. She will be fed water and molasses until harvest.

Not a bad yield, smells really nice, fuel and berries

Buds are looking pretty. Already nice frosting of trichomes and density for small size is surprising. Have been worried about my roots and have taken all need steps to try and fix it. So far Daphni shows no signs of stress or nutrient lose. Knock on wood. Will be playing Velvet Underground for her this week. Does it make sense to cut off bad roots?

At the second day of week 2 the first two leaves of each Mimosa look a little crinkled, but the environment is ok and the Peyote in the same tent looks good so i think it is characteristic of this particular strain. At the fourth day of week 2 the plants show signs of explosive growth

9th Week I'm trying to address the deficiencies, I believe it's due to using coconut substrate. I am gradually reducing the daily light exposure by 1 hour until reaching 12/12. As it's the first time with Delta 9 in the cultivation, I have trow it foliarly.

My plant's got a name - Melanie. She fights against the pests. We suppose that the yellowish colour of the leaves are caused by them. As I decided to help her, I used the insecticide called Dursban. As a result, the pests' number has lessened but not totally removed. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you in advance.

Not a many pictures this week but a little video, 2nd phase of shaping beginning! 💚 plus a lil shot of her in with the fems/autos (I have a whole 4x4 of plants not shown on here 😅)

This week she grew 29cm taller! Almost a foot in a week despite being FIMed. Growcaps seem to be doing their thing. Timelapse sequence is: Auto Jack Pineapple express *** CBD Lime *** Blue Dream Auto Jack Pineapple Express *** CBD Lime *** Blue Dream

This beautiful girl easily coped with stress, now she has become a giant, she feels very well 🌋😍💚

Doin what it do

So I had some internet issues so I couldn't upload. But now everything is alright. This last week I only gave her water 2 times. first time I gave her 500 ml water and the second time only 250 ml water only. And I took more fan leafs off her as you can see I only had to hang her up without trimming or anything. After she is dried I am going to weigh her and see how much I got. ***************************************************************************************************** As for grow report : Blue kush is really easy to grow just make sure the temps optimal. The buds grow really dense thats 1 of the parts I like about this strain. She takes normal feeding. Very strong genetics. And she can take a few mistakes so this strain is perfect for beginners and in medium or expert hands she can get really nice with the colors and smell and taste. Next week i will post the weight and the dried product.

Late to update this week. Was out of town and finally I found some time to update. I started giving them a healthy dose of KoolBloom to start finish this grow off. Temperature is getting higher and I wish I started these girls 2 weeks earlier, but hindsight is 420. I think these should be ready by week 9, so i’ll be looking at those trichomes at this stage of the grow. I like mine cloudy. What do you all prefer?

Week 4 over for wa girl. Soil PH was off this week and the ppm levels was way too high after I tested my runoff. So this week was mainly about flushing and trying to get the medium back to ideal conditions. So far she’s recovered well and been cruising ever since. There are a lot of new undergrowth so I need to lightly defoliate and tuck in some leaves to allow even light distribution on the canopy. AC got worked on too so my temperatures have drastically changed. I could see stress on a few of my plants already. Really interesting plant though, the smell has started coming out and it’s lovely 😍 Let’s see how everything goes. Take care beautiful people
