Acapulco Gold Organic Barneys farm seeds acapulco gold 25th October 2021 Well she is a beautiful looking girl and is now up to 40cm in height 😀 I am still wanting to top this one I just hope it can be contained later when it flowers 😆 Cheers for stopping by 👍

Everything looks good and healthy. Lets wait couple weeks for flowring :)

Day 50 of flower. Dimmed the lights back. I will more then likely start my flush on day 60. #2 and #4 both are turning purple. Happy growing everyone!

Letzte Spülung, zum Wochenende oder kurz danach wird geerntet. Der Geruch der Zkittlez ist einfach genial, Fruchtig und Gassy. An der Hermi ist wirklich wenig Fleisch an den Buds, sie erinnert mich ein wenig an leichtes revegeging von der Struktur. Die nur getoppte Pflanze zeigt eindeutig die Besten Ergebnisse. Sie hat die dichtesten Trichome und erscheint im Vergleich silberner als die andeden Beiden. Es ist für mich klar, das dieser Strain nicht die beste Wahl für LST und Mainlining war. Wer jedoch Topped und ein wenig Training macht, wird sich über saftige, Harze Blüten freuen Die Topcolas werden jetzt gegen Ende übrigens fast zu schwer, ich werde sie stützen

Harvest — Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized by Seeds Mafia After 117 days from seed, our Amnesia X3 Turbo Feminized has reached harvest — and what a journey it has been! The plant matured into a stunning structure, with dense, resin-soaked buds and that unmistakable Amnesia aroma: citrusy, spicy, and uplifting. We trained her under a SCRoG net, which helped to maximize light penetration and support the heavy colas. She responded beautifully, growing strong and full of energy. 🌡️ Day temp: 25–26°C 🌙 Night temp: 20–21°C 💧 Humidity: ~45% 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💨 CO₂ supplementation 🌱 Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients (full cycle) We couldn’t wait — and tried a quick sample dried in the microwave. The effect was intense, fast-hitting, and long-lasting — a true turbo Amnesia experience! Easily one of the most powerful sativa-dominant strains we've grown. Huge thanks to Seeds Mafia for the top-tier genetics, and to Xpert Nutrients for the professional-quality fertilizers that helped bring this beauty to her full potential. We’re beyond satisfied with the results and can’t wait to enjoy the full cure!

Typical sativa trim lotsa leavessssss... Dry was pretty easy but a little slow due to dense buds, the indica really comes out there. Easy to grow likes average nuets can get large. Buds extremely dense and hard after dry very pleased

10 January - 16 January 10/1- Last feed

Day 22: Today I increased the lamp output to 100 watts. So that the fresh new leaves are supplied with enough light. In the little video you can see how I mix the fertilizer. I also find the play of colors of the individual components quite beautiful. Of course I also solved the small visible residue before I watered the plants. Day 25: The trunk is slowly becoming a trunk. With increasing growth and the number of leaves, the seedlings slowly become young plants. Day 27: The first roots protrude from the bottom of the pot. I think it's time to plant the young plants in larger pots. The plants became 3 times this week 200ml of water with 0,4g/l Hybrid Powderfeeding by Greenhousefeeding.

22/04: Harvest day. Videos of defoliation are coming. I cut her down and defoliated the whole canopy. Now started the drying phase...see you in a week.

Super solid canopy between these 2 ladies. Nice sea of colas brewing up. No vertical growth really to speak of. Just some flower mass. Very happy and healthy and looking very vibrant. Looking sexy in the garden lol. They got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up their treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as they are blooming strong now. Gotta keep those engines well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

She’s getting bigger and bigger! Probably will have 4 main colas and that’s it being the other plants are blocking the sunlight. No one can tell what’s going on here and I like it Just sprinkled some royal gold powder nutes to help her out with the rain we just had 🏻💚

Repotted last week

Looking forward to trying red Jack Auto flipping of the light is very exciting.

DAY 59: The Lucky Charms has been very stubborn in revealing its sex. I think I have a confirmed pollen sack posted above, but will wait another day or two to make sure. Its giving me low-level anxiety worrying about it pollinating my flowering female in the same room. The White Widow is itching for some training and a larger pot. I've been using LST to try and open her up, but by the next day, a bushy node has filled the void. Unfortunately, the veg area of my tent is a bit tight, and it will be another 6 weeks or so before the flowering room is available for late-veg. I also just started 2 clones and 3 seedlings so its about to get packed in there lol. A work around for this would be to switch the WW to a 5-gal soon, keep it in the flowering room for the 12 hours of light [lights in the flowering room are on during nighttime hours (KEEPS ELECTRIC BILL DOWN)], then pull it out in the morning for an extra 6 hrs of sunshine. This would free up room for the incoming babies, as well as liberate the WW from the tight space. Because I have a feeling this White Widow is going to be a monster of a plant pretty soon.

7.8.26 These ladies have grown beyond my expectations. Not sure if it is genetics or the dialled in approach to VPD, perhaps both. My other grows have produced smaller plants in the past as I have never had to move light up higher than normal but these girls are flying up. I am curious as to how tall they will get without using a scrog net. I am pretty sure I can accommodate them till harvest but I have installed a net just in case. Smell much stronger than past grows at this stage too. I started these from seed while I finished a photoperiod grow so they spent first week or so on 12/12 light schedule. After harvest I ramped light up to 20/4. In doing this I may have misjudged how old they are. Diary says 5 weeks but they look more like 7 weeks to me. No worries though, as they seem to be thriving. Aiming for a VPD of 1.2 to 1.3 for coming weeks. PPFD at around 650 to 700 across canopy. Had to defoliate large leaves and tried a lollipop for first time to even out humidity and temp. Lots occurring in a small space. Having checked the info on OSS website Melon Mosh is a fast cycle of 60 to 65 days which would account for quick growth.

Beginning of week... Out of the blue.. For no reason at all.. I went ahead and topped her. The branches are already beginning to form.. so I just wanted to speed them up a little 🤷 lol.. I also removed the bottom node (leaves and branches).. They usually just don't grow like the 2nd, 3rd, etc... and the branches were not symmetrical whatsoever lol.. That really grinds my gears (it really bothers the shit outta me lol).. She is left with 3 nodes at the moment.. I will decide which nodes I want to use and go from there.. So I will be going up a tad on the Armor Si.. Up on the CALiMAGic, adding in some FloraGro, amd going up just a tiny bit on the Floralicous Plus to bring it up to the normal dose.. Still using the Hydroguard and the MYCO Plus (powder) at the normal doses.. Other than that, just been watering/feeding when the top of the medium is dry, and when you can clearly feel the weight of the pot (bucket of butter lol) is pretty much weightless.. Basically, I feed on a Monday.. Then just plain pH'd water on Thursday or Friday.. Then back to feeding again on Monday.. This will obviously change once the roots fill the pot (bucket o' margarine) within the next couple weeks or so.. Btw.. Not sure if I mentioned this already.. Dont feel like going back and checking lol.. But I put about 2 - 3 inches of just perlite at the bottom.. Not sure if this helps or does anything lol.. But I've seen other people do it.. Had some extra on hand.. Sure! Why not? I never let this sit in runoff.. Infact, when I water/feed, I place the pot on top of a cup so that she won't be sitting in runoff and so I can collect the runoff as it drips out the bottom.. So far, the runoff pH comes out a little low still.. Going in at 6.2 and the runoff will be like 5.8 or 5.7.. But, I do believe that it has been slowly making its way up.. I should really start buffering and finding a way to remove roots when I harves, so I can keep reusing and avoid issues.. Anyways.. She is happy and healthy.. Topped her and remove the bottom node.. That's all there is to report on so far.. Will be updating mid week and end of week as I usually do.. So excited!!! 😁 Mid week.. So it looks like the bottom 2 branches are triploids! I could be wrong.. But that's what it looks like to me! Can't be mad about that! Lol.. I can tell she is going to be a short thing.. Perfect for this grow box! Not sure what these weird markings are.. But this literally popped up overnight.. Will be keeping an eye on it!.. Hopefully nothing.. But we shall seeee!... End of week... She's doing good.. I removed the very top node that I left.. Lol.. Yeah I can be very indecisive when it comes to that stuff.. Can always just remove one later if I need too.. But yeah.. I've kinda just been tucking the top 2 branches under the bottom 2 branches so that the bottom 2 can get some good lighting too.. So I try to switch once a day or sometimes twice a day.. Once the tops grow a bit more they should all be able to get their own light without the tucking and whatnot.. But still just been feeding toward the beginning of the week and just plain pH'd water toward mid/end of the week.. The runoff pH is a little acidic.. But it doesn't seem to be hurting anything so far.. The roots have made it to the bottom of the pot.. They did a long time ago, but have really filled the pot alot already.. But I've pushed plants alot longer in much smaller (veg for 6 weeks in a 9oz solo cup).. Her branches are so thick and sturdy! She is gonna be so strong!.. I really need to make sure I don't LST too late cuz it's gonna be hard to bend these tree trunk branches.. But I'm playing with her at least twice a day, so I doubt I will miss the opportunity lol.. But I can't wait to taste some Blue Berry!!! On to the next week!...

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 1 Flower 🍬 The Little Engine That Could Every grow has one plant that reminds us why patience is such an important part of this hobby. Candy Rain continues to be that plant. As the only survivor from this folder, she has quietly fought her way through a slower start while the rest of the room raced ahead. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely my mistake, but that's part of growing too. Every mistake teaches something valuable, and Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that healthy plants don't all follow the same timetable. This week officially marks her first week of flowering. While most of the room is already well established in bloom, Candy Rain has finally reached that exciting milestone, proving once again that genetics decide the pace—not us. This diary continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, illuminated by the Future of Grow Black Series LED, complemented by the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain continues writing her own unique story. And honestly... She's beginning to surprise me. 🌱 Week 1 Flower – Finally Joining the Party Only one week has passed since the transition began, yet the difference is already easy to see. Standing at approximately 90 cm tall, she has enjoyed a healthy stretch during the past seven days, gaining over 20 cm while beginning to shift her energy fully toward flower production. She may still be one of the smaller plants in the room, but she's clearly making up for lost time. Fresh white pistils now cover every growing tip, and the first real flower clusters are beginning to form across the canopy. Each day the bud sites become a little more defined, slowly transforming from simple nodes into the foundation of future colas. The transition has been smooth, healthy, and exactly what I was hoping to see. Sometimes all a plant needs is a little extra time. 🌿 Plant Development Candy Rain has continued developing naturally with very little intervention. Low Stress Training carried out earlier in her life has left her with an open structure, while simple leaf tucking continues exposing future flowering sites without removing valuable fan leaves. There has still been no need for defoliation. The canopy remains airy, branch spacing is excellent, and airflow throughout the plant couldn't be much better. New growth continues emerging vibrant and healthy, while the leaves display a beautiful deep green colour that tells me she's completely comfortable with her current environment. Looking closely at the flowers, the first little crowns of white pistils are now appearing everywhere. They're still tiny. But every large cola starts exactly like this. 💧 Feeding Program Now officially in flower, Candy Rain has fully joined the flowering nutrition program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation The transition has been effortless. Her foliage remains beautifully balanced with no signs of deficiencies, excesses, or stress, and she's responding exactly how I'd hoped after making the move onto the flowering schedule. The roots remain healthy, water uptake is increasing, and the overall plant simply looks happy. Sometimes the plants tell you everything without saying a word. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remain stable 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: 639 ppm The consistency inside the room continues allowing every plant to focus entirely on growth rather than recovery. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, balanced humidity, and reliable irrigation remain one of the biggest reasons this project continues progressing so smoothly. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also sees Candy Rain benefiting from the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing exceptional light from above, the additional Lumiflora bars are designed to deliver extra intensity beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that naturally receive less light. It's still far too early to draw conclusions, but I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional lighting influences lower bud development, flower density, and overall canopy uniformity over the coming weeks. As always, I'll let the plants tell the story rather than making assumptions before harvest. 🌸 Phenotype Thoughts One thing Candy Rain has already reminded me is that size doesn't always predict quality. She may not be the tallest or the fastest plant in the room, but healthy structure, vigorous growth, beautiful leaf colour, and balanced development are often far more important than chasing height alone. Some of the most memorable harvests I've ever grown came from plants that never looked like the biggest stars during flowering. Will Candy Rain surprise me? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly what makes growing so enjoyable. Every plant writes its own ending. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I'm expecting the flowering stretch to continue before gradually slowing as more energy shifts toward building flowers. The small clusters of pistils should begin stacking into more defined bud sites, resin production may start making its first appearance, and it'll be fascinating to see whether Candy Rain continues closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Whatever happens, I'll continue giving her exactly what she's asked for from the very beginning: Time. 🙏 Final Thoughts Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that growing isn't about comparing plants. It's about understanding them. Some explode out of the soil from day one. Others quietly take their time before showing what they're capable of. She's still writing her story, and I'm more than happy to let her write it at her own pace. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic genetics, to Plagron for their consistently reliable nutrient line, to Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, and to Lumiflora for joining this project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to see what the combination of top and lower canopy lighting can achieve throughout the rest of flowering. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this 8×8 Adventure week after week. Your support, advice, encouragement, and passion for growing make documenting every stage of these plants an absolute pleasure. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Sono felice è stata una settimana perfetta, clima estivo caldo ed umido e fresco di notte è ormai arrivato e stabile. Continuano tutte a fiorire in maniera assurda, sono quasi tutte piene di infiorescenze gonfie, dure e molto resinose ed appiccicose, nessun insetto o parassita delle piante riesce ad invadere le piante, stanno morendo tutti appiccicati alla resina! Si intravedono i primi tricomi di colore ambrato e per molte piante ormai mancano un paio di settimane alla raccolta mentre per il resto delle piante tra circa tre settimane saranno tutte pronte per la raccolta! Si sente un forte odore nauseante di frutta incensata, e odorarle significa avere poi il naso appiccicato di resina per ore! La maggioranza delle piante supera il metro e cinquanta centimetri di altezza ma sono molto piene di diramazioni stracolme di infiorescenze dure e appiccicose, ogni varietà ha il suo forte odore particolare e viene l'acquolina in bocca! Ultima settimana di nutrienti poi solo acqua pura! Ci vogliono circa un litro di acqua a pianta ogni due giorni con questo caldo ma ormai la magica fine è vicina! Un abbraccio a tutti e forza Dutchfem seeds in Italia!

Hello everyone, Everything is going according to plan, i added a dehumidifier to combat high humidity. Let's see how they look next week, thanks for stopping by and have a nice week. Growfather
