💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 11 | She Does What She Wants 😂👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this girl... 😂 Honestly... She's doing whatever the fuck she wants. And I love it. 😂👑🌿 She's growing tall. She's growing beautifully. She's stacking. She's building those flowers exactly the way she wants to build them. And we're basically standing here watching her work while occasionally saying: "Okay, girl... do your thing." 😂 Because that's really what it feels like with this phenotype now. She's found her rhythm. She's moving. She's developing. She's getting heavier. And she's doing it without asking for permission. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight again. Because there are only good things to talk about this week. 🌸🔥👑 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 11 – SHE'S MOVING ──────────────────────── Last week we talked about this girl being the little plant that refused to stay little. Well... I think we've officially moved past that conversation. 😂 She's tall. She's substantial. She's carrying a beautiful amount of flowering structure. And she's moving at a really nice pace. Not the fastest plant in the room. Not the slowest. She's right there in the middle of the rhythm we've created. Some girls are moving a little faster. Some are taking a little more time. And Pheno B? She's somewhere comfortably in the middle. And honestly... she looks fantastic. That's something I really appreciate about this stage of the 8×8 Adventure. The plants aren't all moving at exactly the same speed. But they're all moving. They're all developing. They're all expressing themselves. And this girl is doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 👑 DOING WHAT THE FUCK SHE WANTS ──────────────────────── I'm going to keep the language this week because honestly... there's no better description. 😂 She's doing what the fuck she wants. The branches are growing where they want. The flowers are developing where they want. The structure is becoming what she wants it to become. And we're not trying to force her into some perfect shape. We're assisting. That's it. The plant is doing the work. We're providing the environment. We're providing the support when she needs it. We're keeping the system running. We're observing. And when she tells us: "Okay, I need a little help here..." we help. But we're not trying to tell her how to be Amnesia Haze Pheno B. She already knows. 😂🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE THE STORY ──────────────────────── And honestly... this is what I love most about her right now. The flower structure. 😍🌸 Look at the way those flowers are developing throughout the plant. They're not just sitting there as individual little flowering points anymore. They're becoming structures. They're stacking. They're gaining volume. They're creating those beautiful vertical lines of development that make this girl so enjoyable to look at. And the more she develops... the more obvious her architecture becomes. You can see the plant's rhythm in the flowers. You can see where she's decided to build. You can see how the branches are carrying those developing structures. And I really like what she's doing. Very much. She's creating her own design. We're simply lucky enough to document it. 📸🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🔥 THE STACKING IS BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── This is probably my favourite part of her this week. The stacking. 🔥🌸🔥 There is something incredibly satisfying about watching flowers begin to build on top of one another along the branches. Week by week... you start seeing more structure. More definition. More density. More presence. And with Pheno B, I really like the way the flowers are developing along her architecture. She's not trying to make one giant statement. She's building a whole series of beautiful flowering structures throughout the plant. And that gives her a really interesting appearance. You can follow a branch with your eyes... and discover flower after flower after flower. It's beautiful. It's becoming substantial. And she's still got plenty of story left to write. ──────────────────────── 🌿 TALL, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF ──────────────────────── One of the things I really enjoy about this girl is that she doesn't feel like she's trying to imitate anybody else. She's tall. She's around 135 cm. She's got her own architecture. She's got her own branching pattern. She's got her own way of stacking. And she's completely comfortable being herself. That's what I want to see. Because if every plant in this room looked identical... we'd lose half the fun. 😂 Instead... we have different heights. Different structures. Different flower shapes. Different rates of development. Different personalities. And Amnesia Haze Pheno B has definitely established hers. She's the girl who looked at an 11-litre pot and apparently decided: "Yeah, that's plenty." 😂🌱 Then proceeded to grow into a beautiful, tall flowering plant anyway. ──────────────────────── ? THE LITTLE POT THAT NEVER GOT THE MEMO ──────────────────────── And yes... the 11-litre pot is still there. 😂 I still look at it sometimes and think: "How are you doing all of this in there?" Because the plant doesn't look like she's trying to fit into a small container. She looks like she simply decided the container was irrelevant. 😂🌿 She's built herself above it. She's filled the space. She's created substantial flowering structure. And she's continuing to move. The pot may have been one of the experiments... but the plant is clearly writing the results. And her result so far is: "I'll be fine." 😂👑 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. HER OWN STORY. ──────────────────────── And once again, this is where the 8×8 Adventure becomes so interesting. We're treating the room as one ecosystem. The same general environment. The same lighting philosophy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional foundation. The same 12/12 schedule. And yet... every plant interprets it differently. Pheno B is receiving the same photons as her neighbours. But she's building her own architecture with them. She's taking that light... and turning it into leaves. Branches. Flowers. Structure. And eventually... hopefully... a beautiful finished plant. That's the experiment. Same stage. Different performers. 😂🌿💡 ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE NEW LIGHTING SETUP ──────────────────────── The upgraded lighting setup remains one of the big changes in the room. We now have two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures helping expand the lighting capability. Rather than running everything at maximum output, we're controlling the intensity. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position. And this girl is clearly making use of that environment. She's developing. She's stacking. She's filling her structure. She's catching photons... and apparently turning them into more flowers. 😂💡🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT DOES THE WORK ──────────────────────── I think this is something I've really learned through this project. Sometimes we growers get too focused on what we're doing. We changed this. We adjusted that. We moved this. We added that. We trained here. We trimmed there. But eventually... there comes a point where the plant takes over. And that's where I feel we are with Pheno B. The major structural work has already been done. The framework is there. The branches are there. The flowers are there. Now she's building. And our job is mostly to keep the system around her stable. Good environment. Consistent irrigation. Appropriate nutrition. Light. Air movement. Observation. And support when necessary. The plant does the rest. 🌱💚 ──────────────────────── 💨 LET HER GROW ──────────────────────── That's why I don't feel the need to constantly intervene with this girl. She's doing beautifully. She's not asking us to reinvent the room. She's not asking us to change everything. She's simply growing. And honestly? Sometimes the best thing you can do is get out of the way. 😂 Let her grow. Let her stack. Let her build. Let her decide where those flowers are going. We're here to assist. Not to micromanage every millimetre of the plant. And Pheno B seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── ❄️ AND THE FROST IS STILL COMING ──────────────────────── Of course... we can't forget the frost. 😂❄️ She's continuing to develop beautiful resin coverage throughout the flowering structures. And as those flowers build, the frost becomes increasingly noticeable. This is another characteristic I really enjoy watching on her. The structure is beautiful. The stacking is beautiful. But then you get closer... and suddenly the flowers have another layer of detail. Tiny crystalline structures. Resin-covered surfaces. Frost catching the light. And that's when the camera starts becoming dangerous again. 😂📸 Because one photograph becomes ten. Ten becomes thirty. And suddenly you're standing there photographing one flower from every possible angle. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA IS FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT ──────────────────────── And that's exactly why I love having these weekly reports. Because if you only looked at her today, you'd say: "Beautiful plant." But when you compare her with the earlier weeks... you see the journey. The structure is more developed. The flowers are larger. The stacking is clearer. The plant has more presence. The whole thing feels more substantial. Photography gives us the snapshots. The diary connects those snapshots. And together... we get the story. That's what makes this project so enjoyable. We're not simply looking at the finished plant. We're watching her become it. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME UPDATE ──────────────────────── As with the rest of the room, we've increased the nutrition this week. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution values are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And again... we're not creating a completely separate world for her. She's part of the same room. Same overall feeding strategy. Same environmental foundation. And she's responding beautifully. No complaints. No drama. Just growth. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues 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: 11 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same conditions. Different plant. And that's exactly what we're watching. ──────────────────────── 🌸 A BEAUTIFUL RHYTHM ──────────────────────── I think the best word for her this week is: Rhythm. She's moving at a very comfortable pace. Some girls are moving faster. Some are moving slower. And Pheno B? She's right there. Doing her thing. Growing. Stacking. Developing. Getting heavier. Getting frostier. And doing it without making the room complicated. She's simply following her own rhythm. And I really like the rhythm she's chosen. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE FASTEST ──────────────────────── This is another thing I appreciate about this project. We don't need every plant to be the fastest. We don't need every plant to be the tallest. We don't need every plant to produce the biggest flowers. We need them to show us who they are. And Pheno B has done exactly that. She's not necessarily trying to win the race. She's simply running her own race. And right now... she's running it beautifully. 😂🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🔬 ANOTHER PHENOTYPE REVEAL ──────────────────────── Every week, I feel like we're getting a little more information about who she really is. At first: "Small pot." Then: "Wait... she's getting tall." Then: "Okay... she's really flowering." Then: "Look at that stacking." And now: "Wow... this is a beautiful plant." 😂💚 That's the journey. The phenotype gradually reveals itself. And I think Pheno B is becoming increasingly easy to recognize. Beautiful structure. Beautiful flowers. Strong vertical development. A really nice stacking pattern. And an overall appearance that makes you want to stop and look. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point... I'm simply watching. 😂 I'm watching those flowers build. I'm watching the stacking. I'm watching the resin. I'm watching the plant handle its increasing weight. I'm watching the branches. And I'm watching what she decides to do next. Because honestly... she's already shown us that she's perfectly capable of surprising us. So I'm not going to try to predict every step. Let's just see what she does. She's been making good decisions so far. 😂👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – LET HER DO HER THING ──────────────────────── Week 11. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno B. And honestly... I love this girl. 💚🌿👑 She's tall. She's beautiful. She's moving. She's stacking. She's building. She's getting heavier. She's getting frostier. And she's doing all of it at her own rhythm. She's not the fastest girl in the room. She's not the slowest. She's right there in the middle... and she's doing beautifully. And perhaps the thing I like most is that we're not really telling her what to do anymore. We're assisting. We're supporting. We're keeping the environment stable. We're providing the photons. We're providing the nutrition. And then... she does the rest. She's growing where she wants. She's stacking where she wants. She's building flowers the way she wants. She's doing what the fuck she wants. 😂🌿🔥 And I wouldn't have it any other way. Because that's the beauty of growing. You can create the environment. You can provide the tools. You can observe. You can support. But ultimately... the plant is going to be the plant. And Pheno B? She's being a beautiful one. 💚👑🌸🔥 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers stack. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to do next. Because if the last few weeks have taught us anything... it's that she's going to do exactly what she wants. 😂👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 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 them with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Amnesia Haze genetics and for giving us this beautiful phenotype 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 stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to remind me that plants don't need us to write their entire story. We create the stage. They perform. 😂🌿🎭 And Amnesia Haze Pheno B? She's putting on a beautiful show. Tall. Beautiful. Flower-loaded. Frosty. Stacking. Growing. And completely comfortable doing things her own way. So this week... the spotlight belongs to her. 👑💚🌸🔥 Let her shine. Let her stack. Let her grow. And let her do whatever the fuck she wants. 😂🌿👑 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the plants make the decisions, we provide the stage, and somehow... everything keeps getting more beautiful. 🌿💚👑🔥

This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

Just started the 2 week flush before harvest. Flowers are getting fat, hairs have changed color . Now I just have to watch the trichomes .

Plants doing fantastic add your opinion.. stay till the end im sharing my medical grow pics

05/24 - (M) - The mother has been harvested and dried - She produced roughly 3 oz's after drying - Considering I pulled a good amount of clones from her early 3 oz's is acceptable on this harvest - Completely negated the hay smell through drying - Nuggz are full and dense - smoke is clean and smooth. 05/24 - (C) - The clones are coming along nicely - They have about 5 maybe 6 weeks left until harvest - They were moved into the 2x2 tent to finish (Needed the bigger tent for my follow up grow) - The clones have a deep citrus smell - The budsites are filling out accordingly- Thus far no issues through first couple weeks of flower - I included 2 nutrients to their feeds Green Planet Horti Bloom and Late Bloom. Follow my IG for more content IG@Greenphoenix6262😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 05/27 - (M) - This will be the last entry for the mother - She has been trimmed down and placed in cure jars with humidity packs for curing - The first cut from this batch (MOM) is nearly perfect - No hay smell - clean smoke - white ash - looking to step it up with the clones. 05/27 - (C) - The clones are flowering perfectly - Temps are at 69-71 - Humidity at 65% - They have been switched back to manual feeding to finish out - I say they have about 3 maybe 4 weeks left and this run should be completed - Stay tunned. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

End of week 12, looking good. Stay tuned. So far so good. Water lines getting clogged a little with roots but I put together a little work arround using the water level indicaters I built into the system. (see picture) They are kind of on auto pilot. At this point in the grow I have learned how this particular batch likes things. For example 1.63 is the optimum EC currently. By monitoring how much the EC increases/decreases vs water level I can tell if they can handle the food level, and adjust accordingly, before they burn. I keep them right at the border of too much nutes. If you look you can see all the tips are just barely burnt. I ride the line. I'll update again on Sunday with some fun stuff.

-Strain: Gelato Auto - Fast Buds -Tent: 5x5 Gorilla Grow Tent -Lights: Budget LED Grow Lights 2 x 250 Watt LED Full Spec/Red Spec mixed boards -Light Cycle: 18/6 -Soil: Fox Farm -Air Circulation: AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Inline Duct Fan WECLOME BACK GROWMIES! Week 14 here with our GELATO AUTO by Fast Buds! February, 24, 2020 (DAY 93) - THATS IT THATS ALL FOLKS! The flush has began, absolutely nothing but RO water for 2 days and then 36Hrs of darkness and she is chopped!!!! ISNT SHE SO FROSTY! oohhhh man i cant wait to smoke this! she looks and smells so beautiful. definitely the frostiest of the bunch!

Day 31 - What a healthy green plant like always , the petioles of the leaves are purplish but it is pretty commun for that strain so we are far from a magnesium deficiency here. The smell is the typical deep citrus one from that strain. The trichomes production is already huge and we are barely half the way now so imagine what it will be in 4 weeks 😍

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 3 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 10 | The Slow Girl Is Stealing the Spotlight 👑🍑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Well... I think we may need to have a little conversation with Passion Fruitz. Because last week, she was still the girl who refused to hurry. This week? She has apparently decided to make up for lost time. 😂🍑 And honestly... WOW. Look at her. Deep, dark green foliage. Beautiful blue-green tones appearing through the leaves. Big leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Buds developing all over the plant. And an overall appearance that has me standing there thinking: "Okay, girl... I see you." 👀🍑 She may have spent weeks making us wait... but now she's starting to look like she has something to prove. And I absolutely love it. 🍑 From Slowest Girl to Spotlight Thief If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, you already know her story. She was the slow girl. The patient girl. The one who looked at the flowering calendar and basically said: "That's nice. I'm working on my own schedule." 😂 She took her time transitioning. She made us wait. She made us wonder. And honestly, she probably made me say: "Come on, girl..." more than once. 😂 But now? I'm not asking her to hurry anymore. Because she's showing us exactly what she was preparing for. She's flowering. She's building. And she's doing it beautifully. The plant has completely changed the feeling of her story. We're no longer watching a girl waiting to decide what she wants to do. We're watching a girl that has decided. She's flowering. And she's going for it. 🌿 That Green... Let's start with the obvious. Because you don't need me to tell you what the photographs are already showing. Look at that foliage. That deep, rich, dark green is absolutely gorgeous. And there's something else I really like this week: those subtle blue-green tones appearing through some of the leaves. That combination gives her an incredible visual character. She's lush. She's vibrant. She's full. And she's carrying some seriously impressive leaves. This is one of those plants where you can stand back and appreciate the whole structure... but then you get closer and realize: there's even more happening. Big leaves. New growth. Flowering sites. Developing buds. And more flowers appearing throughout the plant. She's looking fantastic. 🌸 And Now... Look at the Buds This is the part I've been waiting to see. Flower formation is happening everywhere. And I'm really enjoying the way she's developing. The flowering sites are becoming much more obvious now, and we're starting to see the plant's energy shifting toward those developing flowers. They're not just tiny points of growth anymore. They're becoming recognizable structures. They're starting to give the plant that unmistakable flowering personality. And there are buds all over the place. Top. Middle. Throughout the structure. Everywhere I look, she's giving me another little reason to smile. 🍑🌸 And honestly? For a girl who spent so long telling us to be patient... she's doing a pretty good job of making the waiting worthwhile. 👑 Is Passion Fruitz Coming for the Crown? Now this is where things get interesting. Because we're running a whole room full of personalities. Every plant has its own story. Every phenotype has its own strengths. And every week, someone seems to step forward and say: "Maybe I'm the one." 😂👑 Well... Passion Fruitz has definitely stepped forward. She's looking amazing. She's lush. She's dark. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's got enormous leaves. She's got flowering sites everywhere. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. But I'm not giving her the crown yet. Not yet. Because the 8×8 Adventure isn't finished. We've still got a whole room full of girls competing for our attention. And that's what makes this so much fun. Right now? They all have the crown. 👑 Every phenotype has something special. But Passion Fruitz... oh my God. She's making a very serious argument for hers. 😂🍑👑 🌱 The Girl Has Found Her Rhythm This is probably the biggest difference I see compared with the previous updates. She feels settled. Earlier, the big question was: "When are you actually going to flower?" Now that question has disappeared. She's answered it. She's flowering. She's building. She's developing. And she's doing it with an incredible amount of foliage supporting that process. The plant has spent a long time establishing herself. And now we're getting to see the result. It's almost like she was quietly saying: "Just wait. You'll see." Well... I'm seeing it now. 😂 🍃 Big Leaves, Big Potential One of the characteristics I've always liked about this phenotype is those large leaves. And now they're creating such a beautiful contrast with the developing flowers. You've got these big, dark fan leaves surrounding the flowering sites, creating this incredibly lush appearance. When I look at her, I don't see a plant that's struggling to find her way. I see a plant that has built a substantial framework and is now putting that framework to work. And that makes me very curious about what she'll look like as flowering progresses even further. Because if this is where we're at now... what happens next? 🍑👀 That's the fun part. 💡 Catching Every Photon And just like the other girls in this room, Passion Fruitz is making use of the environment we've created. Those big leaves aren't just beautiful to look at. They're part of the plant's engine. They're positioned throughout her structure, intercepting the available light and supporting the plant's ongoing development. The room continues to provide the same overall lighting philosophy we've been using throughout the run. And she's clearly making use of it. She's not hiding. She's not wasting the opportunity. She's presenting leaves to the light... and turning that energy into growth. She's catching photons wherever she can. 💡🌿 And judging by how she's looking right now... she's catching plenty. 🌿 Same Room. Different Personalities. This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We're not giving every plant a completely different world. We're providing a consistent foundation. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same overall feeding approach. And then we watch. And what do we get? Completely different personalities. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some are hungry. Some are relaxed. Some are incredibly aromatic. Some take forever to flower. And then... there's Passion Fruitz. She spent half the story making us wait... and now she's trying to steal everybody else's spotlight. 😂🍑 That's phenotype hunting. And I wouldn't change it for anything. ⚗️ Feeding – No Complaints Here The room continues following the established flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current readings remain approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.0 ⚡ EC – 2.0 mS/cm And honestly... I have no complaints about this girl. She's looking lush. She's growing beautifully. She's developing flowers. She's maintaining that deep colour. She's producing new growth. Everything I'm seeing from the plant is telling me: "Keep doing what you're doing." So that's exactly what we're doing. Consistency. Observation. Patience. And letting her show us what she's capable of. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues to run under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 636 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h And again, that consistency is important. Because when one phenotype suddenly starts looking this impressive, we can appreciate that we're seeing her expression within the same broader environment as everyone else. That's the experiment. We create the stage. The genetics write the performance. And Passion Fruitz is starting to put on quite a show. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming an absolute pleasure to photograph. There is so much texture in her right now. The dark foliage. The blue-green tones. The large leaves. The emerging flowers. The little details appearing everywhere. And every photograph seems to reveal another part of the plant. This is also why I love photographing the same plant week after week. You don't always notice gradual changes when you're looking at her every day. But put the photographs side by side? Suddenly... there she is. The difference becomes obvious. The structure has changed. The flowers have developed. The plant has matured. And the story has moved forward. Photography freezes the moment. The diary connects the moments. And Passion Fruitz is giving us some beautiful moments right now. 📸🍑💚 👑 Everyone Has a Crown I keep coming back to this because it's becoming increasingly difficult to choose favourites. 😂 One week, someone else steals the show. Then another plant decides she's going to be the star. Now Passion Fruitz has walked onto the stage with those enormous dark leaves and beautiful developing flowers and said: "Move over." 😂🍑👑 But here's the thing. I don't actually want one winner yet. Not now. They're all showing us something different. They're all expressing themselves differently. And they're all contributing to the story of this run. So for now... every girl gets a crown. 👑👑👑👑👑 We'll see who still has hers when we reach the finish line. 🔍 What Am I Watching Now? My questions for Passion Fruitz have completely changed. I'm no longer asking: "When will she start flowering?" She has answered that. Now I'm asking: How far is she going to take this? How much will those developing flowers build? How will that beautiful dark foliage evolve as flowering progresses? How much more structure will appear? How will the buds develop from here? And perhaps the most exciting question: Can this girl really steal the crown from the rest of the room? 😂👑🍑 I don't know. But she's certainly making the competition interesting. 🍑 From Patience to Potential Looking back at her previous updates makes this week even more satisfying. For so long, Passion Fruitz was the plant we had to explain. "She's slow." "She's taking her time." "She's still transitioning." "Let's wait." And now? We don't need to explain anything. Just look at her. She's saying it herself. I'm here. And she looks beautiful. That's one of my favourite things about growing. Sometimes patience isn't passive. Sometimes you're simply waiting for the plant to reveal what it has been building all along. And Passion Fruitz may have been doing exactly that. 🌸 The Story Is Just Getting Started Even though we're already at Week 10, I feel like this is actually the beginning of a very interesting chapter for her. The plant has established her identity. The flowers are clearly forming. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is spectacular. And now we get to watch the flowering development continue. That's where the real curiosity begins. Because we know what she looks like today. But we don't know what she'll look like after several more weeks of development. And that's why I'm keeping the camera ready. 🍑📸 Something tells me we're going to have some fun with this girl. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what's next for Passion Fruitz? More observation. More photography. More flower development. More waiting... although hopefully not the three-week "almost flowering" waiting game again. 😂 She's finally moving. She's finally showing us what she's capable of. And I'm very happy to simply watch her continue. No unnecessary forcing. No trying to turn her into another phenotype. She's already showing us exactly who she is. And right now... I really like who she is. 🍑 Week 10 – The Spotlight Is Getting Crowded So here we are. Passion Fruitz. Week 10. The girl who refused to hurry. The girl who made us wait. The girl who spent weeks quietly building her foundation. And now... look at her. 🌿 Deep green. 💙 Beautiful blue-green tones. 🍃 Huge leaves. 🌸 Flowering sites everywhere. 🍑 Beautiful bud formation. 👑 And an attitude that says she may be coming for the crown. I genuinely have no complaints. None. She's growing beautifully. She's looking incredibly healthy. She's developing exactly the kind of flowering structure that makes me excited to see what happens next. And honestly? She's amazing. So let's give her what she deserves. The spotlight. The camera. The crown. At least for this week. 😂👑📸 Because next week... someone else might come along and try to steal it. That's the beauty of the 8×8 Adventure. Nobody gets to keep the spotlight forever. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Every week, this project becomes a little more interesting. Twelve genetic stories. More than twenty plants. One shared ecosystem. And completely different personalities emerging right in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who takes a few minutes to stop and look at these girls. Thank you. 💚 And Passion Fruitz? Well... you spent weeks telling us to be patient. Now you've got our attention. 😂🍑👑 You're lush. You're dark green. You're showing beautiful blue-green tones. You've got enormous leaves. You've got flowers developing everywhere. And you're looking absolutely incredible. So yes... take the spotlight, girl. Enjoy it. Because around here, the crown is never guaranteed. For now, though? Passion Fruitz has earned her moment. 👑🍑🌿 Let's see where she takes us. Let's see whether she can keep that crown. And let's see what happens when this slow girl finally decides to show us just how much she's been holding back. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics are unpredictable, and Passion Fruitz is suddenly looking like she has something very serious to say. 🍑👑🔥

9/13 Took the last special Kush today. I had too. Those fucking locusts were eating more and more. At least the trichs looked good. The second plant is straight fire! They're ALL good. I'll have to do the review. Tenth planet is swelling up and trichs are getting cloudier. They are starting to eat the chem dog too but it needs to bulk up and the trichs aren't there yet. Mk ultra natural may be some of the best quality this year. I'm losing SOME to the locusts but it seems they avoid the frostier stuff. At least I'm hoping. This is a great plantvand despite the nugs being so tight and stuff it just needs more time and im going to give it to her. Pink kush is actually look9ng like it might finish. But the locusts have STRIPPED a lot of that. I'll keep an eye on them and keep this uuodated. I got a notification saying congratulations on a harvester diary. I know these outdoor seasons are long but what difference does it make? Hopefully I can still add week later. 9/14 Weather is good bit it's so dry that the locusts are deafening. Thrips are still around and there's not much I can do about it. Looking at the tenth planet I isolated I can see that locusts stripped the middle some and it was stunted from the thrips. The pink kush looks good but I'm losing g some to locusts. The 10th planet, Chem Dog #4 and the MK Ultra I left natural are bulking up and trichs are exploding! Since I safely have some quality cannabis I'm go8mg to let these ride. Unless I continue to lose substantial amounts. Then my hand may be forced. The pink kush is nowhere near ready though. The others would still be good taken now. Smell is strong and I've looked them all. 9/15 Rained last night. Plants were wet. I probably should've watered. Had to remove two branches due to mold. I also removed a couple small buds that had molded. These 40 degree nights don't do well with rain. I'm losing more and more cannabis daily from those locusts and from some mold that comes with the damage. I've never had a year like this. The sounds the make are deafening. And it's not just at night, or a specific part of the day. It's ALL. THE. TIME. I'm not growing again without floating row covers. I'll loon for some today bur that's like closing the barn door after the horses got out. Oh well. That big 10th planet is ready. I was just waiting for more amber bur I'm not taking a chance losing more branches. I'll think about it and I'll update what I decide to do. I might take that today. Chem dog had thr most damage but last I looked it wasn't where I needed it to be. EDIT: DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING. IVE GOT MY HANDS FULL TRIMMING AND DRYING ANYWAY. SURPRISINGLY THE TRICHS WERE ALL MILKY! THEY EVEN HAD SOME AMBER! CHEM DOG WENT CLEAR TO MILKY REAL FAST AND THE NATURAL MK ULTRA HAS BUDS THAT THE STIGMAS HAVECTOTALLY RETRACTED AND THE LOOK COMPLETELY DONE. AGAIN. TRICHS ARE ALL MILKY. IT THE BUDS ARE EXTREMELY DENSE AND I WORRY ABOUT ROT. BOTH THESE PLANTS COULD COME DOWN ANYTIME AND IM SURE ID BE HAPPY. I JUST HAVE A LOT RO DO AND THE WEAYHER LOOKS GREAT SO AS LONG AS THE LOCUSTS STAY AWAY THINGS WILL BE FINE. I ALSO watered everything a gallon. I may have been underwatering for fear of overwatering. Tomorrow's a new day. We'll see what it holds. 11% chance of rain. But after that it looks like it will be good. 9/16 Guess I didn't do a video. Went over this morning and then again around one. I brought my loupe and checked everything. Suprisingly some of the pink kush are MILKY already and legit hard as a marble. I won't get much from them but I bet it will be good. The tenth planet I probably should've taken. I was tired though and another day or so isn't going to hurt it. I took off a few of the fan leaves that were left but most have dropped already. The strain SAYS it takes longer but the loupe doesn't lie and the buds arent increasing in size anymore. The chem dog has caught up to it by now and the 10th planet WAS much further ahead. They both have been through the same stressors. This cold weather has sped shit up. I've got all MILKY with amber on thatl tenth planet and I don't want to keep losing more shit. The chemdog has swelled to almost the size of the 10th planet and are all MILKY as hell!. The mk ultra's stigmas have retracted on half the buds and are very dense. It has a few ENORMOUS calyxes on it. The only reason its still standing is that ive noticed A FEW clear tricombs and the plant is healthy. It can survive a little longer but its a September strain and we've had some cold weather already. Some have some stigmas still reaching upward (mostly on the cola) but other flowers have no visible stigma on the top. Theyve reached what looks like perfection and are all milky. That plant it frosty. It might be my best quality. Only time will tell. That plant doesn't have as much damage but I'd like to see a little more amber and see if the buds decide to connect. This strain is on time according to the breeder and ive just decided to oush it. I hope I dont regret I have a bud that rotted off a tenth planet branch so at least i can try it before i take it. Same with the chem dog but it's not dry yet. I'd would be good to try a tester bud before I made my decision on pulling the plant. 9/17 I did a video and took the tenth planet after finding a few buds that had molded and a small branch with mold on it. Should've followed my intuition and took it yesterday but I was sick. Still am. I found some mold on the chem dog and more stem mold. I also found some buds that had completely rotted and died. The plants have been through at least one frost. If I wasn't so tired and ill I would've taken the chem dog too. The buds were swelk8ng though and had caught the tenth planet that had stopped growing. I almost just cut it at the base and hung it upside down because I'm worried about the mold and whatever I'd eating it. It smells great, trichs areall MILKY with a little amber. I was just hoping for more size but it's been a strange year climate wise. I still have another 10th planet out but it has a few issues. The natural mk ultra will probably be the best quality out of the garden. It is rock hard and frosty as hell. I can still see some clear trichs or I would've snatched it. It LOOKS totally done. That's what's weird this year. Advanced trichs on small bud, trichs staying clear on big buds that appear finished. It has MILKY and amber so I coukd take it anytime but it looks healthy so I'll give it a little more time. The pink kush surprisingly has grown extremely trichome heavy rock hard buds. I'll get a harvest from them and it will probably be good quality bit it won't be much. I was able to sample the mk ultra and was extremely impressed. After I do the physical shit and take time for myself ill take pictures and put more up on the harvest reports. Hopfully the chem dog does ok tonight. I'm sure she'll be fine.

🌸 Week 8 Flower – The Trichome Symphony Begins 🌸 Eternity Grow Cup This week… it’s all about the frost. ❄️ We are diving deep into the universe of trichomes, those magical crystal-like structures that define potency, aroma, and visual beauty. Each pheno this week is presented with its own dedicated video — so everyone can witness the uniqueness and evolution of these genetics firsthand. The photos? Focused close and true on the trichomes and their stalks, the very essence of the plant’s protective and expressive language. 💎 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are tiny resin glands that cover the surface of cannabis flowers and sugar leaves. They’re responsible for producing and storing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids — the compounds that create the plant’s effects, scents, and flavors. They act as the plant’s natural defense — from UV rays, pests, and environmental stress — and in return, they gift us with beauty, medicine, and art. Why So Many Trichomes Here? This room has turned into a crystal forest thanks to a harmonious mix of tech, care, and nature: 🔹 Spectrum Tunings: Using the TrolMaster system, we’ve dialed in a spectrum rich in reds, far-reds, and UV at precise times to stimulate trichome production. The plants are responding in full. 🔹 Lighting: The under-canopy power of the ICL 300s, combined with the canopy-level intensity of the Model 1s, is creating full-spectrum saturation from top to bottom. Buds are stacked, frosty, and glowing from every angle. 🔹 Nutrition Synergy: The tag-team of Aptus Holland and Plagron has been flawless. The clean base, balanced micro and macro elements, and biostimulants have driven these girls into full expression mode. You can see the nutrition working in every crystal. 🌿 Where Are We Now? We’re likely one week to ten days from harvest, but of course we’ll follow the plants’ signals. They’re still swelling and building — it’s the final stretch, and they’re sprinting. Nerdy Note: Trichomes can be bulbous, capitate-sessile, or capitate-stalked — and in this run, the capitate-stalked ones are standing tall and loaded. Expect a full cannabinoid and terpene profile when it’s time for analysis.( bro talk not lab hihihihi) 🌟 Let’s take a moment to recognize that we’re witnessing the peak of this cycle. This is living art, frozen in time by a camera lens but alive in scent and energy. This Week’s Feeding Program To support this explosive trichome production in Week 8 Flower, we’re feeding with precision and purpose. Every drop counts now, and here’s the clean, efficient mix we’re running: • Aptus Holland – Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • Aptus Holland – System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • Aptus Holland – RO Water Condition: 0.8 ml/L • Aptus Holland – All-In-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L • Plagron – Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • pH set at 6.2 💧 We’re keeping it clean, clear, and consistent. No extra PK boosters or unnecessary additives. Just smart nutrition, tuned spectrum, and stable conditions to let the plants express themselves naturally. The synergy between Aptus Holland’s Clean Program and Plagron’s Green Sensation is clearly showing in every frosty bud. This week, we’ve fine-tuned the spectrum to push the plants into full resin-production mode. I’ve reduced the white light intensity to 40% while keeping the reds and UVs running at 100%. This shift focuses energy on the wavelengths that directly stimulate secondary metabolite production—especially trichomes. Red light enhances flower development and density, while UV exposure encourages plants to produce protective compounds, like cannabinoids and terpenes, as a natural defense. This balance between lower photosynthetic pressure and high-spectrum stimulation is helping the girls finish strong, frosty, and full of character. 🙏 Massive thanks to all sponsors, followers, friends, and growers in the community. To the ones competing, to the ones just watching — THANK YOU. This is almost the end of the road, and every diary, every plant, every effort deserves respect. 💬 Don’t forget to follow the full 4K experience on YouTube, and for behind-the-scenes action and updates, join us on Instagram.

Day 63 What a turn around! Got my watering issues manageable. Last watering for Candace I added Mykos and Azos to my water. Switched from SimPro to Terp Tea. #GIRTH # FROST #AROMA Sheryl got that same recipe tonight. Candace didn't need water, but I splashed about 8oz in her dish for the bottom roots. Take Away? It's a weed so it's resilient. Have patience, don't panic, let the plants tell you what they need. Came back from out of town and the girls were looking famished. I put 1Tbl of Terp Tea Bloom in a gallon of rain water with Mykos, Azos, and Fish Sh!t. Fed both plants half gallon each.
