Day 64 - I've been patiently waiting for the time to come, and it's finally here! Changed the lights over to 12/12 to send the tent into flower. Current light settings R99 W99 B50 as suggested by California Lightworks. I did a full reservoir change - switching over to bloom nutes. I also added some Si28 and P31 Microbes to the reservoir to test out this new product that I was fortunate enough to receive samples of. I've seen the results of others with crazy booming root growth.... Let's see what happens! Day 65 - I swear, it's like she's been waiting for me to flip the light cycle. I kicked one plant out of the tent so now there's even more room for improved air circulation and light distribution. This plant is a serious beast! Day 67/ Day 3 of Flower - Last massive round of defoliation before I sit back and let her do her thang. ✌️

Todo su desarrollo fue perfecto, resistió mucho cuando aveces la humedad subía en la carpa. En todo su ciclo estuvo bien sin ningún problema. Recomiendo cultivar esta cepa ya que los resultados que da son muy buenos.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 11 | The Solo Survivor Is Still Writing Her Own Story 👑🍑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And our solo survivor... is looking absolutely beautiful. 🍑👑🌿 This girl continues to do something that she's been doing from the very beginning: She takes her time. 😂 No rushing. No panic. No sudden sprint toward the finish line. Just Passion Fruitz... moving at Passion Fruitz speed. And honestly? I'm completely fine with it. Because although she isn't racing through the flowering process, she is developing beautifully. She's green. She's healthy-looking. She's building flowers. She's covered in beautiful white pistils. She's producing resin. She's filling her space. And every time I look at her, I see another little sign that she's continuing to move forward. Slowly. Steadily. Beautifully. 🍑🌿 So this week... let's give our solo survivor the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE SOLO SURVIVOR ──────────────────────── There's something special about having a single representative of a genetic line in a room like this. When you have multiple phenotypes from the same genetic family, you can compare them. You can look at differences. You can see how they express themselves side by side. But with Passion Fruitz... this girl is our solo survivor. There's nobody else in the room telling her story for comparison. So everything she shows us becomes part of her own individual identity. And what an identity she's developing. She's been the slow girl. The patient girl. The girl who looked at everyone else rushing into flowering and basically said: "Yeah... I'll get there when I get there." 😂🍑 And now? She's there. She's flowering beautifully. She's just doing it on her own schedule. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SLOW DOESN'T MEAN STOPPED ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest thing I want to highlight this week. She's slow. But she's absolutely not stopped. There's a difference. And I think the photographs show that really well. Look at those flowers. Look at the amount of fresh, bright white pistils. Look at the new floral growth developing around them. Look at the resin beginning to cover the surrounding structures. She's moving. She's just not moving at the same pace as some of the other girls in the room. And that's okay. Actually... it's fascinating. Because one of the easiest mistakes we can make as growers is assuming that every plant should follow the same calendar. Week 10. Week 11. Week 12. And we expect every plant to look exactly like the textbook picture for that week. But plants don't read calendars. 😂📅🌿 Genetics have their own rhythm. And Passion Fruitz has made her rhythm very clear. She's taking her time. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── ? WHITE PISTILS EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── The first thing that really catches my eye in these photographs is the pistils. So many beautiful white hairs. They're reaching out in every direction. Almost like tiny little flags saying: "Yes, we're still working." 😂🌸 And that's actually one of the most interesting things about photographing her right now. She's not giving us a massive visual change in terms of pistils suddenly turning brown and retreating. Instead, we're seeing continued fresh growth. New white pistils. New floral development. More structure. More resin. It's almost as if she's extending the flowering chapter rather than rushing toward the final pages. And I'm perfectly happy to keep reading. 📖🍑🌿 ──────────────────────── 📸 TWO MORE STACKS FOR OUR SOLO GIRL ──────────────────────── And of course... we had to get some macro photography. Because when a plant is moving slowly, photography becomes even more valuable. Why? Because sometimes the changes are so gradual that you don't notice them with your eyes. You walk into the room every day. You see the same girl. She looks beautiful. You walk away. Then you photograph her. And later, you put the images beside the photographs from previous weeks. Suddenly... you see the evolution. That's what I love about stacked macro photography. It freezes these tiny moments in time. And these two stacks give us another little window into what Passion Fruitz is doing. 🌸 White pistils. 🌿 Green floral structures. 💎 Increasing resin coverage. 🍑 More definition. And most importantly... continued development. She may be slow. But she's definitely not standing still. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL FILLING HER SPACE ──────────────────────── Another thing I really like about her this week is the way she's continuing to occupy her space. She's not suddenly exploding upward. She's not doing some crazy stretch. She's simply continuing to develop the architecture she's already built. And that's where the tucks come in. Because this week we did a couple of tucks with her. Nothing dramatic. Just helping guide some of that growth and keep her developing comfortably within the space she's been given. And honestly... I really like seeing the difference. A small adjustment here. A little tuck there. And suddenly you can see how the plant's structure is being encouraged to make better use of the available space. It's another example of how sometimes you don't need to do something dramatic. A little guidance. Then let her continue. 🌿👋🍑 ──────────────────────── ? A FEW TUCKS – AND BACK TO LETTING HER WORK ──────────────────────── The tucks were probably the most physical interaction we had with her this week. And that's about it. We're not trying to completely reshape her. We're not trying to force her into a different phenotype. We're simply helping guide what she's already doing. Because I think that's important with this girl. She already has her own rhythm. She's already showing us how she wants to grow. So rather than fighting that... we work with it. That's the whole philosophy. Observe. Understand. Guide when necessary. Then step back. And let the plant do what the plant does. 😂🌱 Passion Fruitz doesn't need us constantly standing over her. She just needs the space to continue being Passion Fruitz. ──────────────────────── 🍑 HER RHYTHM IS HER RHYTHM ──────────────────────── I've said this before... but I think it becomes more important every week. She's slow. And I'm okay with that. Because if she were racing toward the finish line and looking unhappy, that would be a completely different story. But that's not what we're seeing. We're seeing a beautiful plant. Healthy-looking foliage. Strong flowering development. Plenty of fresh pistils. Increasing resin. And a plant that continues to progress. Just... slowly. 😂 She's basically walking while everybody else is jogging. And she's somehow still making it look elegant. 👑🍑 That's Passion Fruitz. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE SAME PHOTONS – HER OWN RESPONSE ──────────────────────── And of course... nothing has changed specifically for her. She's still living in the same 8×8 environment. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same general irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Same environmental conditions. And yet... she continues to give us her own expression. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are now part of the room. We've reduced the output to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity changing according to plant height and position. And Passion Fruitz is catching those photons just like everybody else. Her large leaves are intercepting light. Her flowering structures are developing within that illuminated space. And the plant is turning all of that captured energy into continued growth. The photons don't know she's the slow girl. 😂💡 They just arrive. She decides what to do with them. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE LIGHTING CAPACITY – NOT MORE WASTE ──────────────────────── I really like what the additional Future of Grow fixtures have brought to this room. We're not running everything at maximum simply because we can. That's not the point. The point is having more capacity. More flexibility. More ability to distribute useful light across this enormous canopy. And then controlling the output to where we actually want it. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And that gives the girls plenty to work with. Passion Fruitz included. ☀️🌿🍑 A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this setup in the 8×8 Adventure. It's been a really interesting addition to the project. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE'S NOT RUSHING THE FINISH ──────────────────────── And this is where I think her story gets particularly interesting. We're seeing lots of beautiful white pistils. But we're not seeing a huge rush toward brown pistils yet. And that's okay. It actually reinforces everything we've been saying about her. She's on her own timetable. Some girls are further along visually. Some are showing more obvious signs of advancing maturity. Passion Fruitz? She's still producing. Still reaching. Still developing. Still building. It's almost like she's saying: "Why are you in such a hurry?" 😂🍑 And you know what? She's right. Why rush? We're here to observe the plant. Not force the plant to follow our preferred calendar. ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS WHY PHENOTYPES ARE SO INTERESTING ──────────────────────── This is one of the most valuable lessons from the 8×8 Adventure. We can create a shared environment. We can provide a consistent foundation. We can keep the room stable. We can provide the same general lighting strategy. We can keep the irrigation and nutrition consistent. And then... the plants tell us who they are. Passion Fruitz is telling us: "I like my own pace." 😂🍑 And honestly... I respect it. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's not trying to catch up. She's simply expressing herself. That's what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Same stage. Different timing. Same photons. Different response. Same room. Different story. And Passion Fruitz has one of the more patient stories in this entire room. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ FEEDING – SAME ROOM, SAME UPDATE ──────────────────────── The nutrition has also been updated along with the rest of the room. Current flowering nutrition: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values are approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.02 ⚡ EC – 2.14 mS/cm And again... she's responding beautifully. No need to invent a different story just because she's moving slowly. She's growing. She's flowering. She's building. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. And she's continuing forward. Consistency remains the name of the game. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains stable around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h And once again... these numbers are only the framework. The real story is what Passion Fruitz does inside that framework. And she's doing something beautiful. 🍑🌿 ──────────────────────── 💨 LET HER WORK ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest theme of this week's report. Let her work. We've given her the environment. We've made the necessary adjustments. We've added the lighting capacity. We've adjusted the nutrition. We've made a few gentle tucks. And now? Back to observation. 😂🌱 Because there is nothing wrong with slow. Slow can be beautiful. Slow can be detailed. Slow can be incredibly rewarding. And sometimes the plants that make you wait the longest are the ones that make you appreciate the journey the most. ──────────────────────── 🍃 THAT BEAUTIFUL CANOPY ──────────────────────── And I can't talk about Passion Fruitz without mentioning those leaves again. Look at them. Big. Deep green. Beautifully structured. And covered in their own little world of trichomes. They're still doing their job. They're still capturing photons. They're still supporting the developing flowers. And they're still giving this plant that incredibly lush appearance. When you look at her from a distance, she looks substantial. When you get closer... she becomes a completely different story. And then you put the macro lens on her... and suddenly you're looking at another universe. 😂🔬🌿 That's why I never get tired of photographing these girls. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE STORY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS ──────────────────────── The two stacks this week are another little piece of the puzzle. They're not necessarily meant to show some dramatic transformation. They're meant to document where she is now. This moment. This stage. This version of Passion Fruitz. The beautiful white pistils. The resin. The floral structures. The green. The details. Then next week... we'll compare. And maybe we'll see a few more pistils changing. Maybe we'll see more swelling. Maybe more resin. Maybe something completely unexpected. That's the fun. We don't know. We're documenting the journey as it happens. 🍑📸🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 THE SPOTLIGHT STILL BELONGS TO HER ──────────────────────── The 8×8 has a lot of personalities. But this girl has something special. She's the slow one. She's the patient one. She's the one who spent so long making us wait. And now... she's becoming one of the most beautiful girls to watch. She's not shouting for attention. She's not trying to dominate the room. She just quietly keeps developing. And somehow... that's making me pay even more attention. 😂🍑👑 She doesn't need to rush. She doesn't need to compete. She just needs to keep being herself. And right now... herself looks absolutely fantastic. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT'S NEXT FOR OUR SOLO SURVIVOR? ──────────────────────── More flowers. More resin. More development. More photography. And probably... more patience. 😂🍑 We're going to keep watching those pistils. We're going to keep watching the flowers develop. We're going to watch how the structure changes. And we're going to let her decide when she's ready to move into the next chapter. No artificial deadline. No pressure. Just observation. Because she's already shown us that her rhythm is different. And that's okay. Actually... it's one of the things that makes her story worth following. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SLOW, BEAUTIFUL, AND COMPLETELY HERSELF ──────────────────────── Week 11. And our Passion Fruitz solo survivor is looking absolutely beautiful. 🍑👑🌿 She's still moving slowly. She's still showing plenty of fresh white pistils. She's not rushing into a dramatic finish. She's not suddenly covered in brown hairs. And that's perfectly okay. Because she is progressing. Beautifully. Her flowers are developing. Her resin is increasing. Her leaves are still gorgeous. Her structure continues to evolve. And after a couple of gentle tucks, she's making even better use of the space around her. The room is the same. The environment is the same. The lighting is the same upgraded system. The nutrition has been increased. The photons are flying. And Passion Fruitz is doing what Passion Fruitz does. Taking everything... and moving at her own rhythm. 😂🍑 She's our solo survivor. She's our patient girl. She's our slow-motion Queen. And she's absolutely beautiful. So let's not rush her. Let's not compare her against somebody else's calendar. Let's simply watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's enjoy. Because sometimes the most beautiful part of growing isn't watching a plant race toward the finish line. Sometimes it's watching her take the scenic route. 🌿🍑👑 And Passion Fruitz? She's definitely taking the scenic route. 😂 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these stories with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This adventure continues to teach me something every single week. Twelve plants. One shared environment. One jungle. And completely different personalities. And Passion Fruitz? She's proving that slow doesn't mean boring. Slow can be beautiful. Slow can be fascinating. Slow can make you stop and look a little closer. 🍑🌿💎 So let's give our solo survivor the spotlight again. Let's let her shine. Let's let her move at her own rhythm. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because I have a feeling... she's still got plenty of story left to tell. 👑🍑🌿🌸💎🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where some girls race, some girls cruise, and Passion Fruitz? She's taking the scenic route. 😂🍑👑

Week 3 flower day 16 the ladies are getting massive and tall, i knew i did a mistake veging them too long but no worries i hold my fingers that the wont starch more then they are, im very limited in height.. anyway the plants are very healthy and they are always hungry. The CO2 is like steroids for them I reach the easy to 2.2 and I know I can push even more. I’ll do it in the next weeks. After 21 days days i going for defoliation, I don’t want to do it now to stress the plans. I prefer to do it after this stretching finish. ** update week 3 day 19, i hade to raise up the light to to the ceiling of the growing tent, I was surprised how much slurricane#7 stretching.. I also unfortunately needed to do some super croping in week 3 it’s a bit risky but i had no choice some of the flowers reached the leds and the leafs got burned a bit..

Привет Садоводы и огородники !!! Прошла неделя и цветки высохли и получились очень хорошие эффект погружения и расслабления с кучей мыслей цветки очень плотные с трудом крошатся и очень липкая смола только не понял до конца ее запах (не понятный) ,но пахнет очень приятно правда получилось не очень много но качество очень очень а ее подруга гидропоника продолжает цвести сегодня я поменял раствор на новый и это будет последняя неделя и еще неделя на Ripen

Monkey berries is finished up in 55 days flushed too 0.0 EC . The colours are so beautiful!! She’s went quite purple for me the trichomes are thick what a killer strain to go it was my first exotic mikes genetics looking forward to the next run with exotic genetics.. stated flushing the slurrican IX yesterday she be chopped by day 60 . One last update coming of the final grow in a week or so .. happy growing

Day 57 5 litre water 10 mg sensi bloom ab 5 mg call mag 5 mg nirvana 5 mg owerdrive 5 mg b52 5 mg carboload 5 mg senszym 5 mg revive

December 7th. 68 days post flip Chopped the two remaining purple marmalades today. They still had some white pistals but the Trichomes do not lie. I am really happy with them and they smell amazing. They will dry at 65 degrees and 58% humidity for 10 days and than go into grove bags. Will drop an update on their differences before they go into cure. Will give them an early smoke test. Number 2 smells the most but number 3 is the frostier of the two. The two clones also continue on healthy. I’ll know when I test these girls if I’ll be making use of these clones. Harvest week coming soon As always guys thank you so much for following along and god bless !

Day 29... afternoon very sunny and warm temp 👍 Day 30 damn hot and full of sun 😎👍 Day31 warm weather with sun in the morning, laters cloudy with high humidity 😃 Day32 totally fucked up weather...rain non stop and cloudy 😕😫😩 Day33 same damn weather then yesterday oh lord 😒😠😵 Day34 cloudy start in the day but then sunny weather 😍👍😏 Day35 normal day with sun and clouds not too hot 😎👌

Pineapple Expressx2 (PE), Auto Durban Poisonx3 (ADP): Day 77 from seed. PEx2 Week 3 Flower & ADPx3 Week 5-6 Flower. Environment has been crazy fluctuations from outside weather: Temps 73-90F, RH 45-68%, CO2 500-875, & PPFD 1150-1250. Received a Compost tea to run off this week. All plants looking green and healthy. Flowering nicely. ADP #2, the most mature of the plants, Trichomes are coming along. Over all 55% Milky, 35% clear, 10% Amber. Going to give it another week of ripening and check again. The fade not real strong yet as well. 👌

I started germination of 3 Sweet Zkittlez beans on 29/12/2020 (now sweet zenzation). I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Sweet Zkittlez. I've only grown this one out once. Did her up in a 1 gallon SOG grow. It had a very impressive main cola. With quality bud structre and trichome production. The plant had a very luring sexy odor. I was very satisfied with the results. The variety got extra hungry for both p and k mid flower. A little bit needier but definitely worth the extra attention. Very excited to see the results in a full size plant. Giving thus a variety a chance to show me full swing.

*Ph in soil seems low added lime let’s see if this fixes the issues. *1 more week and let’s see if clones show Sex. *recovery seems great besides those dificiencies that showed up. *have not watered in a week. Will update tomorrow.

Okay here we go.... 6 seeds..... 6 different kind of phenos #F 1-6 They all different to each other... From the taste from the look from the smell from the strength ..... But for me it is perfekt than I have a little bit Option to change when I want another taste or strength. From the result in the first point I am happy But for a strain with 7 weeks flower (they need nearly 10 weeks) I think the waight is a little bit to less. But I am very happy with that result it is okay 😊😋. And from the cuttet trim I have made some iceolator bubble hash and this result is nearly perfect... Okay let's view some pictures....
