April 25, 2020/Day 15: I applied LST/tipped her over today and defoliated one leaf. April 25/Day 16: EEEEEeeee I watered with the wrong container, giving her tap water, fresh out of the tap. Chlorinated and all. :D I chased it with 2 litres of proper 6.5 PH. April 27/Day 17: Defoliated 2 leaves and reapplied LST. She is growing like ground coverage, especially after LST. :D I think it's safe to plant a third seed in my small tent. She looks small. Maybe she will surprise me and start taking off in growth. :) This is the smallest plant I've seen at Day 17. May 1 @1pm/Day 21: Topped her at her highest point May 1 @ 11pm/EOD 21: Defoliated 4 more leaves and applied LST to all of the tops

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) 🍬 The Patient One – Growing at Her Own Pace Every grow has a story, and not every story begins perfectly. Candy Rain is the only survivor from this folder. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely on me, and that's simply part of growing. Every mistake becomes another lesson, and rather than focusing on what was lost, this diary celebrates the plant that kept pushing forward. Despite her delayed start, she's proving that healthy genetics and a stable environment can overcome a rough beginning remarkably quickly. While she's developing a little more slowly than the rest of the room, each passing week brings noticeable progress, and she's steadily writing her own success story. This project continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination, challenging the common belief that this lighting regime prevents vigorous development. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, grown under the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves the opportunity to shine in her own time. And this week... She's beginning a brand-new chapter. 🌱 Week 5 – No Rush, Just Progress Although I'm still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant is clearly standing at the doorstep of flowering. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the upper growth, signaling that the transition is now underway. Unlike some of her neighbors that stretched almost overnight, Candy Rain is making the change more gradually, continuing to strengthen her structure before committing all of her energy to flower production. Standing around 69 cm tall, she's currently one of the smaller ladies in the room, but there's nothing weak about her. Her main stem has thickened beautifully, the branch spacing remains clean and open, and every new node seems ready to become a future flowering site. She simply isn't in a hurry. Sometimes the plants that take their time during vegetative growth surprise us once flowering truly begins, and I'm excited to discover whether Candy Rain has one of those stories waiting to unfold. 🌿 Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and stress-free throughout the grow. Low Stress Training helped open the canopy early, while regular leaf repositioning continues allowing light to reach developing branches without removing healthy foliage. A few of the older leaves still carry small scars from the early stages of the grow. Those marks are simply reminders that the beginning wasn't perfect. The important part is what the plant is telling me today. Every piece of fresh growth is emerging healthy, vibrant, and beautifully green. The stems continue strengthening, the canopy remains balanced, and new flowering sites appear a little larger with every passing day. Older leaves tell yesterday's story. New growth tells tomorrow's. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation This week I made one intentional change. Even though I'm still closing her vegetative chapter, Candy Rain has now joined the same feeding schedule as every other flowering plant inside the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Rather than keeping her on a reduced vegetative program, I decided to support the transition she's already showing naturally. With an EC around 1.78 and pH maintained at 6.0, she's accepted the new feeding schedule without showing any signs of stress. The newest growth remains healthy, the foliage stays richly green, and the plant appears completely comfortable with the nutritional change. Now she's eating exactly like the rest of the room. We'll see over the coming week whether that extra support helps her settle fully into flowering. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing stable conditions throughout the flowering room: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Even during the warmer summer days, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and excellent airflow continue allowing every plant to develop comfortably. The ecosystem remains balanced, and Candy Rain seems perfectly happy within it. 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should officially mark the beginning of flowering. I'm expecting the stretch to become much more noticeable as hormones shift fully toward bloom, and it'll be fascinating to see whether she begins closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Right now she may be the slowest plant in the tent, but she's also showing steady, healthy development every single week. Sometimes patience is rewarded with something truly special. For now, I'm simply letting her tell her own story. 🙏 Final Thoughts Not every plant follows the same schedule. One of the most enjoyable parts of growing is learning to work with each individual plant instead of expecting every seed to perform exactly the same way. Candy Rain has reminded me of that every week. She isn't racing anyone. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply growing at her own pace, building a healthy structure, and preparing for the next stage when she's ready. Whether she finishes alongside the rest of the room or a little later, she has already earned her place in this project by showing that patience can be every bit as beautiful as speed. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing consistently reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next week… Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

The smokeberry is really packing on the crystal now and by week 8 this plant will look like a plant with fresh snow on it. Testing shows this strain consistently comes in at 20%-24% THC, strong in beta-caryophllyne and Terpinene. Locally bred on Prince Edward Island🇨🇦 Canada’s secret garden.

Away 9 days. Showed some deficiency mostly on plant 2. Light defoliation on plant 1. More aggressive defoliation of affected leaves and some bud site stripping on Plant 2. Cleaned up the bottom branches of plant 2. Started bloom nutes day 45 half dose

Added light starting grow well now

For LIQUIDS & Nutes ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form!

Before and after the defoil!! Slow flush with water only, cleaning them veg nutrients away! Net down to manage the stretch in next 3 weeks 🤞 first time using this tech, I usually just topt like a radical!!

This is week 9, and I’ve started dialing things down as we approach the final stage. I reduced the light intensity to around 600–650 PPFD to keep things a bit softer towards the end of flowering. From here on, it’s just a matter of maintaining stable conditions until harvest time 🌸✂️💪

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

Привет садоводы началась 2 неделя цветения растение не сильно вытянулось вверх и стало густым я заменил HPS на LED TS 600 m-hydro температура понизилась на пару градусов а так все нормально , листья выглядят хорошо поливал последний раз простой водой

Well 46.5 grams from a solo cup grow seems pretty good. It was my first attempt at doing this. Was a personal challenge, and glad I experienced it. I did move the cup around the room during grow. The herb is very fruity smelling and is a very pleasant aroma. Thank you again Amsterdam marijuana seeds. Was a excellent autoflower, and a beautiful solo cup grow.

So this or these ladies are performing splendid..I like the fact that each plant has its own personality..One is nice and tall, the other short and stocky ...I mean it's a joy watching each of them move through a different stage but collectively...it's insane... But thanks for visiting...stay tuned for more weekly updates on this ladies...

Recovering now. Does I need it? Another experience ahead. EnjoyAll My Lights on To all my plants.Lemon Cherry Gelato by @Barneys going well after transplantación, topping,LST Lemon Cherry Gelato de @Barneys esta empesando dar su poder

plant is doing well 3 more days and i will defolate and lolly pop for day 21

At the end of week 4, I've switched the lights to 12/12 and separated the plants, leaving one of them under 150w lamp. Also started to bend the main stem of Kabul Express. I'll probably make a timelapse of one/both of them, both girls grow pretty fast, and Kabul seem to be much bigger and elongate more.

Que pasa familia, ya estamos aquí para actualizar la 3 semana de floración y es que la vaina se pone interesante, están cogiendo unos tonos. No os e comentado creo pero hasta ahora hay 2 armarios, uno con 100w y otro con 150w en el de 100w hay 4 red cookies gelato en 7L.y en el de 150w hay 5 ejemplares de red cookies gelato en 15L de maceta. El cual en donde practique el crooping fue en el de 150w , que veréis todos los céntrales partidos . Hasta ahora alimentado total con bases de advanced nutrients más big bud y bud candy. E tenido algún problemita en la sala con las humedades que pronto estará solucionado aunque no fue mucho hay que decirlo todo. ( máximas en interior de 70 % en pico alto…) eso está mal así que la solución es un deshumidificador potente y a seguir. Hasta aquí todo espero que disfrutéis con los diarios y buenos humos 💨💨💨

Week 8 This week i ´ve been defoliating the cookies and stopped to give them nuts after some signs of stress on leaves, they are curling up and get burn out on their tips, this is most visible on pot 1 who´s appearing to be a sativa pheno! On the other hand Pot 2 who appears to be more indica pheno are showing more resistance to nuts! I Just been feeding them with ph water and have increase the distance for the ligths, I dont relate the burns on my leaves from that but with the temperatures on outside changing so drastic and the entire grow been heated and sealed (in order to save some money on energy) i only opened the windows to refresh the air two or tree times this week for a couple of hours generaly at 12 oclock to dont have my temps changing from 22 degres to 8 degres 😱, not the best conditions and not my easiest grow but what can i say? You can look them an judge... to me they are fucking Hero´s... They became thirsty, suffered from insufficient air flow, suffered slight burns for 24 hours of continuous light from the seed until now and still suffered from excessive fertilization but the ladies didn't fall off their high heels 🙌
