Hi everyone Hope you are all well guys. Another week gone and the Gorilla Automatic 2th grow from RQS looks about ready to finish. I flushed her day 65 with Flawless Finish. Today she's Day 70. Any day now she will be ready for chop. She's so beautiful 😍. Sad she will go down soon. 70% milky white trichomes and a few amber. At the moment. She's grown big again. Buds are big, nice and hard starting to get some purple on the buds. And she's smelly. For one or another reason I can't add Text to Pictures in GD. Sorry for that. Happy Growing

I had alot of issues with my environment, tools, auto-watering, So I did alot of mistakes, but I could take some clones that I'll use in a next run but I wont create a new diary for it. 👋👋👋

Welp. I honestly didn't expect this. As I have mentioned in previous posts, this plant was no longer on its own timeline, the next plant was going to decide. In addition to this, I had just done a heavy defol and put the leaves and 3 small nugs in my cannatrol. The cannatrol still had 2 days before finishing its dry, so this ended up being interrupted. In some unfortunate mishap, as shown in the pictures, my light was scheduled to turn off at 5am. The device said it did, but as you see in the graph, it stayed on until I had caught it at 12:24pm. I simply disconnected the usbc from the outlet, reconnected it, my light kicked on for a sec, then back off. I think messing with my dehumidifier lastnight glitched the system and I should've done a reset when I was done messing with it. With the stress already playing a chance at mutations, the additional light didnt help. No hurt feelings here. With the weight off the bud and the sugar leaves, my cannatrol is maxed. 2.2 lbs of wet weight is all it can take, and I am pushing that. 900 grams of wet, partially trimmed buds impressed me! Not sure the sugar leave weight. Setting cannatrol to dry for 5 days and cure for 25. I know it can go way quicker, but I read a study about these settings and want to see if it stands any truth. Smoke report and dry weight coming soon!

Se nota que los cogollos van engordando, como tengo plantas de diferentes clases se nota que las indicas van casi en su final. Las indicas por otro lado las he puesto al fondo del cultivo que son las que mas demoran. Todas en general tienen mucha fuerza pero cada riego recojo un par de hojas que se han caido solas. Al final quite el scrog y las deje sin ello y solo les he sujetado algunas ramas pero creo que van muy bien. En dos semanas mas 2 de estas plantas estarán listas para lavado de raíces.

We broke big cola on central plant and cried a lot. Also we continued partial defoliation time to time. It should be noted that plants began to drink much more, we watered them every three days, but in five to six litres per watering. Girls showed their gender. Next week we expect all plants to bloom, otherwise we'll have to change the light mode.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia — Week 8 | The Slowest Girl in the Room Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, then by now you've probably realized something about this girl. She doesn't like rushing. While the other ladies in the room have already moved much further into flowering, Passion Fruitz continues to play the same card she's been playing for weeks: "I'm a very slow-growing plant." 😄 And honestly... I have to admit it. She's a slow plant. But she's a beautiful slow plant. 🌱 Still Playing the Slow Card All of these plants are the same age. They were all started under the same 12/12-from-seed concept. They're sharing the same room, the same environmental conditions, the same lighting strategy, and the same general feeding approach. Yet Passion Fruitz has decided that she's going to write her own timetable. Compared with the rest of the room, she is clearly delayed. Her transition into flowering has been considerably slower, and even now, the development of her flowers is progressing at a very measured pace. But what's fascinating is that she doesn't look like a plant that's struggling. Quite the opposite. She's green. She's vigorous. She's structurally strong. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply taking her sweet time deciding exactly when she's ready to commit to flowering. And that makes her one of the most interesting phenotypes in this entire project. 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Weak Standing at approximately 72 cm, Passion Fruitz isn't the tallest plant in the room. But she's built herself into a remarkably dense and compact bush. Her stems have become thick and strong, her side branches are well developed, and the amount of healthy foliage she's carrying is impressive. Looking at her structure now, I keep thinking about what this plant might have looked like if she had been given several weeks of conventional vegetative growth before being placed under 12/12. She clearly has the ability to build. She simply chose to spend a very long time building herself before deciding to flower. And now we're finally beginning to see the consequences of that decision. ✂️ Time to Clean House This week I decided to give her a little bit of a challenge. Since Passion Fruitz isn't particularly large and flowering development is still moving slowly, I decided it was time to remove some of that excess vegetation underneath. I gave her a proper defoliation and lollipop, cleaning away lower foliage and branches that I don't want competing with the upper part of the plant. The objective wasn't to strip her down just for the sake of stripping her down. It was about directing the plant's resources toward the areas that matter most from here forward. With a relatively compact plant like this, I want her energy and structure concentrated toward the upper canopy rather than maintaining a large amount of lower growth that may have limited value later. And after the cleanup... Wow. She looks clean. 🌱 A New Shape Emerging The transformation is particularly obvious when looking underneath the canopy. The lower stem and branch structure is now much easier to see. The main stem is thick and healthy, with strong lateral branches coming away from it. Removing the lower vegetation has also opened the plant considerably, allowing much better visibility through the structure. From above, she's still incredibly leafy and full of life. But underneath, we've created a much cleaner framework. Now we wait. I'm very curious to see what she decides to do with that newly opened structure. Will she finally begin accelerating her flowering? Will the upper branches develop into stronger flower sites? Or will she simply look at me and say: "Nope. I'm still taking my time." 😂 Knowing Passion Fruitz... I wouldn't bet against option three. 💚 The Colour Says Everything One of the things I absolutely love about this phenotype is her colour. She remains incredibly lush and green. The new growth is vibrant, the mature leaves are healthy, and there is a beautiful contrast between the darker established foliage and the bright green emerging growth. The macro photographs really show this beautifully. The fresh growth almost looks luminous against the darker leaves surrounding it. For a plant that has spent so much time outside the flowering timeline of the rest of the room, she certainly hasn't been sitting around doing nothing. She's been building. And she's built herself a very impressive little machine. 💡 12/12 From Seed — The Experiment Continues This is exactly why I enjoy running the entire project under 12/12 from seed. If every phenotype behaved identically, there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. Instead, we're seeing just how differently plants can interpret exactly the same environment. Some transition quickly. Some stretch aggressively. Some remain compact. And then there's Passion Fruitz... She looked at the 12/12 schedule and apparently decided: "I'll get there when I get there." 😂🍑 That genetic variation is one of the most valuable parts of this entire adventure. The goal isn't to force every plant into the same shape or timeline. It's to observe what each phenotype naturally wants to become. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson impossible to miss. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week I'm continuing with the Plagron flowering nutrition strategy. The current mix is: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L, used for pH adjustment when required The measured solution was around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a pH of approximately 6.0. I'm keeping the strategy consistent rather than trying to force flowering by dramatically changing the nutrition. She's already shown us that her timeline is genetic. There's no point trying to bully her into flowering. We'll give her what she needs... And let Passion Fruitz decide when she's ready. 💡 Light & Environment The environment remains stable and consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. Current conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The consistency of the environment remains particularly important in this phenotype hunt. Because when everyone receives essentially the same conditions but one plant behaves completely differently... that's when genetics starts telling the story. 🌿 Under-Canopy Lighting The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting also remains part of this experiment. Passion Fruitz is particularly interesting here because she has maintained such a large amount of lower vegetation for so long. Now that we've cleaned the lower section, we'll have an even better opportunity to observe how the remaining branches respond to that additional light. I'm especially curious about the relationship between her upper canopy and the newly exposed lower structure. This is another one of those variables that may become much more interesting as flowering finally progresses. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of Passion Fruitz so far. The full-plant images show just how dense this girl has become despite her relatively modest height. The overhead photographs reveal an incredibly broad canopy. The macro images show the beautiful contrast between mature leaves and the fresh, vibrant new growth. And then there are the stem photographs. Those are particularly satisfying. Once the lower foliage was removed, you can really appreciate the structure she has been quietly building underneath all that green. Thick main stem. Strong branches. Healthy nodes. A very solid framework. She's small... But she's definitely not fragile. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now comes the interesting part. We've cleaned her up. We've removed the lower growth that was no longer contributing to the structure we want. We've opened the plant. And we've left the upper canopy with the majority of the healthy growth. Now we wait to see what she does. I'm hoping that as flowering continues to develop, we'll start seeing more obvious flower formation throughout the upper canopy and a little more momentum from this famously slow phenotype. But I'm also realistic. I've learned by now that Passion Fruitz doesn't care what I expect. She has her own schedule. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm going to watch her. Document her. And let her show us what she can do. Because sometimes the phenotype that takes the longest to reveal herself ends up being the one you remember the most. 💚 Thank You Another week, another lesson from the 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz continues to remind me that growing isn't about making every plant behave the same way. It's about understanding that every phenotype has its own personality. Some sprint. Some stretch. Some explode into flower. And some... take their sweet time. 🍑😄 A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing such an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn, share, and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics that made this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment throughout the grow. ✨ Lumiflora — for providing the under-canopy lighting and giving us another variable to explore throughout this experiment. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment, question, message, and bit of support makes this adventure even more enjoyable. Passion Fruitz may still be behind the rest of the room... But she's healthy. She's beautiful. She's building. And she's finally starting to show us where this story might be going. Slowly. Very, very slowly. 😂🍑 But that's okay. Because in the 8×8 Adventure, we're not here to rush the genetics. We're here to let them speak. See you next week for another chapter of Passion Fruitz. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

Day 94 - 13/07/2023 Start of 8th Week of Flower and FLUSH Day 95 - Buds are starting to have that final golden color, harvest really is arriving. I could harvest now but i want to flush this plant properly. Today it started to rain and buds are all wet. When it stops raining i´ll check the plant and shake it to remove water. The plant love it but humidity is really high here and mold can forms even when it´s not raining. I´ll check trichomes when possible aswell. Day 96 - Today rained in the morning, but after midday sun started to shine. Had some minor mold problems which i removed immediately, but nothing really to worry , this strain is tough aswell. I checked trichomes, i already have some amber but i think i saw some clear ones here and there. My instinct is telling me to harvest now, but my experience wants to flush this plant properly. I think i should have started to flush earlier, but i did not regret as i want to try out and let a plant really mature. After all im am not that experienced. Day 97 - Today the pot was already kind of dry so i watered her to help the flushing process and i think this will be the last watering. Day 99 - Here i just think i took some really cool pictures, for me at least! 😄 I´ll let the soil dry well so i can harvest with less humidity possible

Had some issues with the tray2grow (operator error) but I figured it out. They should be completely healthy next week.

Was a great week for this girl, my other 3 x Ayahuasca Purples in the same RDWC system were showing slight nutrient burn and PPM was a bit high at the end of last week. I dropped the PPM down to 450ppm for the other plants but this girls seams to take whatever I give her. She’s starting to put on the bud now and everything’s been smooth sailing so far for this Alien Technology girl. I added a 2 x 1000w(180w actual) Morison LED’s to this tent as well, 1 directly above this girl angled into the tent. Figured I had them sitting doing nothing so I might as well get some extra light wavelengths my HPS doesn’t really push out. Temps on the canopy top are around 24c for her, and light meter shows about 55 DLI from the HPS when directly above her. I can’t measure what the HPS and LED combined are, but with the angled LED I am only seeing between 20-35 DLI from only the LED when the HPS is on the other side of the tent. So kind of an experiment to see if the added Lum’s and light spectrums help. Well that’s it for this week, end of week 4 and all is good. Cheers 💨

Gorilla zkittlez on the left and Blue Sherbet x purple punch on the right. Everything works perfectly. This week I add power feeding booster. I have some left. I know it's not the best when you do everything in organic. But it's full of minerals and I want to avoid deficiencies I had in my previous grow. I started to see trichromes. But it doesn't really smell in the grow space. When smell the my fingers after I had touche the bud, I smell something really sweet for both strains.

This plant is my first real plant because the first one had a genetic mutation coming from the seed because I gave it exactly the same conditions as this one and therefore I will consider this plant as my first plant. I am very proud of myself to have obtained such a yield (188g wet) with very few problems during the culture of this Steacky Beast Automatic from Zamnesia. This plant resisted very well to a nitrogen deficiency due to a too high ph because of my ph metter which was out of order but also to a small burn to the nutrient. I started rinsing on day 54 (it lasted 2 weeks and a half). I couldn't put you pictures of the trichomes but they were perfect for the harvest and the pistils were also matching so here is why I waited until day 73 The heads are hung in the culture box with brown soft ties (I removed everything except the extractor and the filter), the box is plunged in the dark so it's perfect for drying Thank you for your interest in my growing diary! See you soon, Jokey4

On ajoute le paillis (paillis de bois dur) et les vers (red wigglers et night crawlers) au prochain pot de 25gallons ! We add mulch (hard wood mulch) and worms (red wigglers and night crawlers) to the next 25gal fabric pots !

Today i switch lights to 12/12..
