The growth of the Blue Dream continued to be poor, I still don't know what the problem is. I dug up the plant to rule out root rot. What I could see was that the roots had developed extremely poorly. I don't know what is wrong with the plant, it is being treated 1:1 in the same way as the Moby Dick. The plants have been defoliated so far and I'm curious to see how things will progress over the next few weeks.

I'm loving this Lemon Pie Pheno

Deep Forrest auto is growing great. She is producing more pistils, and starting to stretch. I have been switching her feed to the blooming nutrition. She has been growing really strong. Everything is ready to go for another week. Thank you Doctor's Choice, Gen1:11, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Hello everyone. Not much happened this past week with the Tangerine Dream. I gave her a good defoliation and sprayed her down with neem oil. At this point, she is mostly focusing on building up her roots, so there is nothing major to report here. Temperatures have generally been sitting comfortably between 23°C and 25°C. They do spike a bit in the afternoon, reaching between 27°C and 28°C for about 2 hours, but for the rest of the day, she stays right in her comfort zone. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

🌸 Week 11 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week is in the books, and now all the phenos have officially entered the bulking phase. 🔥🌸 The flowers are swelling rapidly, and it's amazing to see how differently each phenotype is stacking and filling out. Every week brings more weight, stronger aromas, and denser buds. 📈 Current observations: All phenos are now focusing entirely on bulking up their flowers. Pheno #1 and #2 are producing massive buds, with some already reaching the size of soft drink cans. 🥤🔥 Pheno #6 has made incredible progress over the last two weeks. Although it had the slowest start, it has developed beautifully and is building flowers surprisingly well. It will most likely need around two extra weeks after the others and will probably finish the grow on its own. Pheno #3 unfortunately never fully recovered after I had to remove several main colas because they were growing into the SANlight fixture. While it's still producing nice flowers, it clearly lost some of its potential. Pheno #4 continues to be my personal favorite. The aroma is absolutely incredible, with a sweet Kush profile, and the buds are becoming rock hard already. 💎 📊 Current environment: Temperature: 31°C Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% ⏳ Looking ahead: If everything continues as expected, I think the first phenos will be ready for harvest in about two weeks. The final stage is always my favorite—watching the buds swell even more, the trichomes mature, and the terpene profiles reach their peak. I'm excited to see which phenotype finishes on top, but right now Pheno #4 is definitely leading the pack. 👑🔥 💬 Which pheno would you harvest first based on these updates?

Week 2 of flower 👍🏾

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 💗 Small Plant. Massive Presence. An Absolute Beauty. There are plants that are big. There are plants that are tall. There are plants that fill every available centimetre of a tent. And then... there are plants like Pink Rosay Pheno A. She's something different. She's small. She's compact. She's incredibly dense. And somehow, she manages to carry an absolutely ridiculous amount of flower for a plant of her size. Every time I look at her, I find myself thinking the same thing: How did all of that fit into this little plant? 😂💗 This girl continues to impress me. Not because she's trying to compete with the giants around her. Not because she's stretching toward the ceiling. But because she has taken her relatively small frame and turned almost every available centimetre into productive flowering structure. And honestly... few plants are like this. At least, few plants I've had the pleasure of growing. She's compact in size. But she is absolutely not compact in personality. 🌸 Week 9 – She's Still Radiant Pink Rosay continues moving beautifully through flowering. The plant remains around 111 cm, but that number really doesn't tell the story. Height is only one measurement. Look at the flowers. Look at the density. Look at the way the buds occupy the structure. Look at the proportion between the plant itself and the amount of flower she's carrying. That's where this girl becomes special. The flowering sites have developed into substantial, clearly defined flowers, with impressive structure and increasingly mature-looking resin coverage. The calyxes continue swelling. The pistils are changing as the flowers progress. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly impressive. She's not simply producing flowers. She's packing them in. And she's doing it beautifully. 💗 Small Frame. Huge Flower-to-Plant Ratio. This is probably the characteristic I appreciate most about her right now. Pink Rosay has one of those structures where you can immediately see how much of the plant is dedicated to flowering. She's compact. But the flowers are large relative to the plant. The branches aren't disappearing into endless stretches of empty space. Instead, they're carrying substantial flowering structures throughout the canopy. The result is something I find incredibly satisfying to look at: a small plant with an enormous flowering presence. It's almost like someone took a much larger plant and compressed it. 😂 And that's exactly why I keep calling her special. You can find tall plants. You can find massive plants. But finding a plant that remains this compact while developing this much flower relative to her overall size? That's something I really appreciate. 🌿 The Beauty Is in the Structure The structure is another thing that continues catching my attention. She's dense, but she doesn't look chaotic. The flowers have their places. The branches support them. The foliage surrounds the developing buds. And the whole plant has that feeling of everything working together. There's a real sense of balance here. That's important. Because density by itself isn't necessarily impressive. A plant can be dense simply because everything is crowded together. Pink Rosay is different. She has organized density. Her compact structure has become a framework for the flowers rather than simply a mass of foliage. And after the selective defoliation we performed previously, the plant has continued developing beautifully. We didn't strip her. We didn't try to expose every single flower. We simply opened areas where necessary and then stepped back. And now... we let her do what she does best. Build flowers. ✂️ After the Defoliation – Now We Watch The selective flowering defoliation from the previous week has now become part of the story. Some foliage was removed where it was contributing to unnecessary congestion, while plenty of healthy leaves were deliberately left behind. That distinction remains important to me. I'm not interested in making a plant look naked. I'm interested in making the canopy functional. And Pink Rosay still has plenty of green. The remaining leaves are working. They're capturing light. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're feeding the developing flowers. And the plant is responding exactly how I hoped she would. So this week? No need to reach for the scissors again. She's beautiful. She's balanced. She's developing. Leave her alone. Sometimes cultivation is knowing when to intervene. Sometimes it's knowing when to stop. Right now, I think Pink Rosay is telling me very clearly: "I've got this." 😂💗 ❄️ The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowers are now entering a really exciting stage. They're no longer just developing structures. They're becoming proper flowers. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are beginning to change. The buds are gaining density and volume. And the resin continues to become increasingly visible. When you look closely at the photographs, there is so much happening. Every flower has layers. Pistils crossing through the developing structures. Calyxes stacking around one another. Sugar leaves emerging through the flowers. And resin covering the surfaces. This is where the plant starts becoming more than just a green plant under a light. The architecture you spent weeks watching develop is finally turning into the thing you've been waiting for. Flowers. And Pink Rosay is producing some beautiful ones. 📸 A Photographer's Dream This girl is also becoming incredibly enjoyable to photograph. Her structure gives you the wide shots. Her compact frame tells the story. But then you move closer... And suddenly the entire image changes. The flowers are full of texture. The pistils create those beautiful fine lines. The calyxes create layers. The resin catches the light. And the surrounding leaves provide that deep green background. It's one of those plants where I can understand why macro photography and growing became so connected for me. You can photograph the whole plant... and then spend another hour looking at one flower. There's always another detail. Another texture. Another little piece of biology happening right in front of the lens. And Pink Rosay is giving me plenty to photograph. 💡 Eating Photons The lighting system remains unchanged. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead illumination, with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting adding another layer of light into the lower portions of the garden. And Pink Rosay is clearly making use of the available energy. The plant has plenty of flower structure. The foliage remains strong. And the flowers continue progressing. This is another reason I like having different phenotypes growing together. The environment gives them the opportunity. But their genetics decide what they do with it. Some plants turn that opportunity into height. Some into branches. Some into enormous individual flowers. Pink Rosay seems to have chosen: "I'll just make everything count." And I love that. 🌿 The 8×8 Perspective When I step back and look at the entire 8×8 Adventure, Pink Rosay becomes even more interesting. There are plants around her that are significantly taller. There are plants that occupy much more physical space. There are plants that look enormous from across the room. And then there's this little powerhouse. Standing there at around 111 cm... covered in flowers. It's a perfect reminder that comparing plants purely by height doesn't make much sense. A plant's potential isn't measured by the ruler alone. It's in the architecture. The density. The flower distribution. The health. The efficiency of the canopy. And ultimately... what she gives you at the end. And Pink Rosay is giving me plenty of reasons to be excited. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current program continues consistently: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current recorded conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 111 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 529 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.4 L per plant / 24h Nothing dramatic needs changing. The plant is progressing. The environment remains stable. The flowers are developing. So we stay consistent and let the biology continue doing the work. 🌬️ Density Means Attention Because Pink Rosay is so compact and flower-dense, environmental management remains something I pay close attention to. The more compact the flowering structure becomes, the more important airflow and general cleanliness become. That's not unique to Pink Rosay. It's simply part of managing a dense flowering canopy. And this is also why the work we did previously wasn't simply cosmetic. Opening selected areas can give light and air better pathways through the structure. But again... there is a balance. I don't want to destroy the very thing that makes this phenotype special. Her density is part of her identity. So we're managing it rather than fighting it. 💗 Phenotype Spotlight – One of the Special Ones I think I'm finally comfortable saying this: Pink Rosay Pheno A is one of those plants that doesn't come around every day. Maybe I'm biased. Of course I am. 😂 I've been watching her develop for weeks. I've photographed her. I've watered her. I've watched her change. I've watched the flowers develop from tiny early structures into what we're seeing now. So yes... I'm attached. But even objectively looking at her structure, there's something unusual about the relationship between her size and her flowers. She's small. She's compact. She's balanced. And yet she's carrying an enormous amount of flowering structure for that frame. That's what makes her interesting. Not simply that she's beautiful. It's how she's beautiful. And that's the difference. 🔭 Where Is She Going? This is the question now. And honestly... I don't know. That's what makes it exciting. She's progressing quickly. The flowers are developing beautifully. The pistils are changing. The calyxes are swelling. The resin is becoming increasingly apparent. And the structure is already impressive. But there's still a story left to write. How much more will those flowers swell? How much more density will they gain? How will the resin develop? How will those compact colas finish? And ultimately... what will this little powerhouse look like when she decides she's finished? I'm very curious. Because if she continues on this trajectory... she could be something really special. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Pink Rosay Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't think I can call her simply "the small plant" anymore. She's small. Yes. But that's almost irrelevant now. Because look at what she's carrying. Look at the flower-to-plant ratio. Look at the structure. Look at the density. Look at the development. Look at those flowers. This is one of those plants where the ruler tells one story... and the camera tells another. The ruler says: 111 cm. The plant says: "And?" 😂 Because she doesn't need another 50 centimetres. She has already done an incredible job with the centimetres she has. She's compact. She's dense. She's balanced. She's beautiful. She's developing some seriously impressive flowers. And every week, I find myself liking her more. So this week, I'm not going to ask whether Pink Rosay might surprise us. I'm going to say something much simpler: She already has. And now I'm just curious to see how far she can take it. This little lady has earned her spotlight. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the tallest. But because she has managed to turn a small frame into something that feels absolutely enormous. Pink Rosay Pheno A. Small plant. Huge flowers. Beautiful structure. Exceptional presence. And one hell of a personality. 💗🌸❄️ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Pink Rosay genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for the environmental control. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has something different to teach us. Every plant writes a different story. And Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's writing one of my favourites. She's small. She's compact. She's absolutely packed with flowers. And she's becoming more beautiful every single week. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And let's give this little powerhouse exactly what she deserves: the spotlight. 💗✨ Until next week... Small frame. Huge flowers. Let her shine. Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚🌸

First week after light switch is done. Plants are growing very nice. Tips for improvement are allways welcome! :)

Going to chop her soon.

This week I did a lot of work on opening all possible areas of the bud sites. I picked up the rubber bud tie downs and went to work and did some defoliation on her lash removing only bud sites that are being covered. The temps been holding strong live in a cold climate very tuff before keeping warm at night. Day time temp has been 73-78F humidity at day 43-55% VPN 1.64kpa.

The Afghani x Mac1 auto from DNA recovered well from the training and is in full bloom. Bud sites are looking great. Had an issue with humidity this week and the leaves started looking rough. She got a dose of Recharge this week and drinks about 8-12oz of water throughout each day. All in all she's trucking right along. Very happy with how smooth this solo cup grow is going.

Ha llegado el momento de reducir al max la potencia de luz de nuestras luminarias... Tanto Led como Sodio. Regamos solo con agua y lo estrictamente necesario para que no se deshidraten nuestras plantas. Algunas variedades están listas, sobre todo las Fast Version, a otras les faltan algunos días. También dentro de las variedades tenemos especímenes más avanzados que otros, es por eso que la cosecha se hará de forma escalonada. Desconectamos el aire acondicionado y ponemos al max la extracción.

She has held up well managing the environment so far she has very few leaf burn but not concerning. N13 is showing signs of bloom the white hairs shaping up to be round like cotton balls with no leaf fading. The N13 has received 600ml of nutrients to get her through to the end of bloom and she stands approximately 57cm

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 THE MOST PHOTOGENIC Thinking about changing the title of the diary to that.. 😂😂 I swear the camera loves this one.. And it's not the placement because I've tried moving them to that same spot and the pictures just don't come out the same. I guess the others just need to mature a bit more and they'll be more appealing in pictures because in person they really are.. 😍 Green sensation is really bringing it to the table. Buds are getting fat, stinky and sticky! I'll have to add a bit of support for sure because some are starting to bend a bit. Smell is just grrreat! She's definetly not ready yet so those 40-45 days of flower aren't that correct.. No problem with me though, i'm glad they've got more time to rippen up. Not much difference in nutrients.. I do use 2ml/L of enzymes every 10 days or so in flower.. Noticed it does great work in the roots during flower. Hope you enjoy the pics and vids. Taken on day 42 of flower. Check out the other strains i've got going as well. Take care out there! One love!

Both plants have almost stopped growing in heigth now and are in full flowering mode now. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) Plant #1 is 15 cm shorter than plant #2, but a little bushier. Both have grown very well and are strong and healthy. They get more and more flower clusters now and start to fill up all branches. Trichomes start to appear all over...the plants start to get sticky and develop a weak sweet aroma now. Its time to take off the biggest fan leaves now for defoliation, I took a round of pics before and after.

This week is a good one other then some yellowing on the bottom leaves due to a missed feed ! Other than that they are starting the bulk faze and are stacking really nicely ! Honestly out of everyone even the cherry poppers which is my favourite strain. The papaya frosting is the most gorgeous smell ! It smells like a papaya crossed with a crisp freshly picked apple ! Defiantly will grow more of that next time !

Purtroppo le 4 gorilla 🦍 hanno delle carenze importanti e anche dei moscerini che girano nella terra e nelle radici, penso siano i moscerini dei funghi e se tengo le piante senza annaffiare più tempo loro soffrono perché gli piace l umidità e materiale organico di cui nutrirsi, ho sbagliato due settimane fa a preparare quella soluzione forse un ambiente troppo dolce gli ha richiamati…spero di non avere ancora più danni ormai le piante
