Holy shit we boomin'. I actually had to super crop (i think that's what i did) bc one red poison was getting so tall. I had to pull her to 90 degrees... she's already back reaching for the light - I'm not sure what impact this has on my grow, but I think it will be a positive one. She was going to be insanely tall if I hadn't done this.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 2 Flower 🍬 The Elegant Survivor There are plants that grow fast. There are plants that grow big. And then there are plants that simply have style. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants. As the only survivor from this seed pack — with the loss of her sister being entirely my own mistake — she has every reason to be remembered as the little plant that almost didn't make it. Instead, she's proving me wrong. Week after week, Candy Rain has continued developing into something I honestly wasn't expecting. She's tall, graceful, incredibly lush, and has developed an elegant structure that is becoming more and more impressive with every update. Beautiful green leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Beautiful structure. And an attitude that seems to say: "You didn't expect this one, did you?" 😄 Well, Candy Rain... You have my attention now. 🌸 Week 2 Flower – She's Finally Showing Her Character Candy Rain has now entered her second week of flowering, and the transformation is becoming much more obvious. Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has developed a wonderfully vertical and elegant structure. Rather than becoming overly dense or chaotic, her branches have naturally arranged themselves throughout the canopy, creating plenty of space between flowering sites. The flowers are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the plant, with multiple flowering sites already clearly established along the branches. The little flowers from last week are beginning to look much more like proper developing buds now. And the most impressive part? The plant looks incredibly comfortable. The foliage is lush and beautifully green, the leaves are reaching naturally toward the light, and the entire plant has that healthy, energetic appearance that every grower loves to see. She's not fighting her environment. She's enjoying it. 🌿 Plant Development – Elegance Over Everything Candy Rain has developed a very particular personality. She's not a compact little plant trying to hide between the others. She's tall. She's open. She's graceful. She's almost elegant. The earlier Low Stress Training helped establish an open framework, but at this stage I'm mostly allowing her natural growth to speak for itself. Her long branches carry flowering sites beautifully, while the fan leaves remain healthy and functional throughout the plant. Looking at her now, it's almost difficult to believe this is the same plant that started this project so slowly. She has gone from the survivor I was simply happy to keep alive... to a plant that now deserves her own spotlight. And honestly, I couldn't be happier about it. 🍃 A Beautiful Canopy One of the things that really stands out this week is the quality of the foliage. The leaves are a beautiful deep green, with strong structure and excellent development. There is a real elegance to the way they extend from the branches and surround the developing flowers. She's lush without looking messy. She's full without looking overcrowded. And the flowering sites remain visible throughout the structure. That's exactly the kind of development I like to see during this stage. Instead of forcing her into a particular shape, I'm letting Candy Rain show me what her genetics want to do. And so far... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Feeding Program Candy Rain continues on the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding includes: 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 Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.25 L per 24 hours She's responding beautifully to the current program. The foliage remains strong and balanced, flowering continues progressing naturally, and there are no obvious signs of nutritional stress in the photos. 🌡️ Environment The flowering environment remains stable: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this project. Candy Rain isn't having to constantly adapt to major environmental changes. Instead, she can simply concentrate on what she needs to do now: grow, stretch, flower, and build. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main light source from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting is now part of Candy Rain's flowering environment. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like this. Because Candy Rain has such an open, vertical structure, there are flowering sites positioned at different levels throughout the plant. The coming weeks will be fascinating. I'm especially interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop as flowering progresses and how the additional under-canopy illumination contributes to the overall structure. But as always... I'm not going to make promises before harvest. We'll let the plant tell us. 🍬 Phenotype Thoughts – The Survivor Has Something to Say This is probably the most enjoyable part of this week's update. Candy Rain was never supposed to become the star of this folder. She was simply the one that remained. And now? She's standing there looking absolutely beautiful. Tall. Lush. Healthy. Elegant. Covered in developing flowers. The irony isn't lost on me. I made the mistake that cost her sister her chance in this project. Candy Rain was the one left behind, and instead of letting that define her story, she's completely written her own. This is one of the reasons I love growing. You can have expectations. You can have plans. You can have an idea of which plants will impress you. And then one plant quietly comes along and says: "Watch me." Candy Rain is doing exactly that. 🔭 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be particularly exciting. The stretch will eventually slow down, and more of her energy will move toward building the flowers that are now developing all across her branches. Those beautiful white pistils should continue multiplying, the flowers should begin gaining more volume, and the plant's final structure will become much easier to judge. I'm also very curious to see how she responds to the combination of the overhead Black Series lighting and Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the flowers continue developing. For now, though, there is absolutely nothing I want to rush. Candy Rain has already taught me that lesson. Give her time. She'll decide what she wants to become. ❤️ Final Thoughts – From Survivor to Showstopper? I started this diary thinking Candy Rain would simply be the plant that survived. Now I'm starting to wonder if she might become something much more memorable. She has gone from a slow beginning to a beautifully structured, tall and elegant flowering plant. And every time I look at her, I find something new to appreciate. The leaves. The structure. The flowering sites. The colour. The way she carries herself. She has become the elegant survivor. And perhaps that's the best part of the whole story. Sometimes the plant you didn't expect anything from becomes the plant you end up watching the closest. Candy Rain... You deserve to shine. 🍬✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these genetics, Plagron for the flowering nutrition program, Future of Grow for the Black Series LED, and Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this adventure. And, of course, a massive thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing the journey with me. Candy Rain may have started this chapter as the solo survivor... but she's certainly not looking like a survivor anymore. She's looking like she belongs here. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Nov 20, 2019 The plants are doing well. Gave them and the soil in the entire 5 gallon pots a good drenching with a compost tea, kelp, alfalfa, fish hydrysolate, and molasses blend. I'm also realizing I could be watering these girls a bit more. Being a newby I'm over cautious of over watering. But I'm finding the light airy soil mix I made combined with fabric pots.... the soil dries rather quickly. No signs of under watering, but I think I can water them more. This week I'll start watering a couple of cups daily and once a week give the whole pot a good drenching to keep the rest of the soil (where the plants haven't grown into yet) damp.✌️ Nov. 22, 2019 Well I think the girls are starting to give off a little scent. Opened the doors to the room and noticed a slight aroma of woodsy dank. Put my nose right up to the plant.... and yup, they starting to smell. Nov. 23, 2019 Noticed the front row was growing faster and taller than back row. At the start of this week I swapped the rows, moved 2 Zkittlez and 1 Californian Snow to the back row, 2 Californian Snow and 1 Zkittlez to the front row. Today I started LST'ing the taller plants, 2 Californian Snow and 1 Zkittkez. I hope the other 3 catch up soon. I want to keep these all close together. Nov. 24, 2019 I've decided to keep separate diaries here at growdiaries for each of these two strains. Reason is I can focus on journaling the growing characteristics, experiences both good and bad regarding each strain independently. Also after spending time here at growdiaries, I've realized this will make it easier for fellow growers growing or researching the same strains I am to sort through diaries regarding these specific strains when looking for information. I will still update this diary regularly but it will be general updates of the overall grow, environment changes, watering/ feeding schedule, and anything else this grow experiences good and bad without getting into great detail regarding each individual plant. I have provided the links to the strain specific diaries below. Please look them up and follow along. Since this is my first growing evidence ever you never know what kinda crazy shit you'll see.✌️ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44659-fastbuds-zkittlez-auto-grow-journal-by-weedwacker https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44676-fastbuds-californian-snow-grow-journal-by-weedwacker Nov. 25, 2019 Sitting here waiting for my windows 10 top update...I thought it'd update this diary. Started to LST the 3 tallest plants... earlier I posted the front row was growing faster than the back row. That was Saturday Nov. 23. I LST'd the other 3 the next day. I'll have more details in the individual diaries... links posted above. Started watering today 6 cups/ pot. This seems about right as I'm getting very little run off and the bottoms of all the fabric pots are wet. I found this Hydrofarm soil moisture/ph meter in a box that was with all this equipment I acquired. The electrodes were corroded, after a little sandpaper on them I think it's working pretty well. That's it for this week. ✌️👌

Flipped these they looked like they was ready but i had to go away for 4 days and when i got back god they got bushy!! So many side shoots etc so ive had to trim them again take a lot of side shoots out but hopefully they didnt waste too much energy on them, going to leave them a day or two before i trim again didnt want to do it all in one go so they are looking a bit shabby at the min but they will get back on track. Got to say this strain has been really good to grow so far and its had a really good recovery and growth rate also up to now ive had no nutrient issues all the leaves have been perfectly green which is a first for me 😂,

Thanks for swinging by and checking out the grow so far! So this week we are switching to flowering and taking a flood cycle out of the feeding schedule. The hydro plants are catching up to the soil plants and the tent is really starting to fill out ! Me and my partner have been keeping up on the training and were very happy with the results. I think we achieved the canopy look we were shooting for, so time to flower !! Were still following the floral series feeding scheduled within reason. The soil plants still have a little burn on the tips but we were overfeeding them, newbie mistake, but were flushing them with fresh water to give them a break. We cant wait to see the what happened in the weeks to come. Waiting to see what kind of stretch we get from them. EDIT:: mid week. The plants still have a great growth rate and are noticeably different every day. We went ahead and pulled them out of the buckets and gave them a good trimming before they get through the net. LST is paying off, we have a bunch of top growth so hopefully we get the sea of green look were going for.

It was a easy strain to grow and was happy with the several watering she needed! I was feeding her every couple of days and she rewarded me with some immense dense buds! I have one more of this strain that might be heavier! I just got done with my 2nd plant and she was a big one! Got 792grams or 27 Ozas Wet weight! My best so far with a 5 plant limit this is the weight of only 2 of the 5 I grew..

Day 70- Switched to plain ph’d water mid-week, they have now had 2 waterings with plain water. Probably going to be 2 more in the upcoming week. Did a big defoliation mostly to help ease the final trim when it comes, but to also allow for a little more trichome development as she uses up the remaining nutrients. It’s been a much cooler week so I have been gradually increasing the light intensity to get a final push for some weight. Running at about 95% intensity at the moment with the tent hovering around 79-81 degrees freedom units. Checking trichomes daily with my 30x jewellers loupe, mostly cloudy now, some amber popping up, but mostly on the leaves. I’m watching my other strain as well, hoping the timing will be right for both to come down. I’m not in a rush, really want to maximize these buds, they are already very hard, and they will be decent producers.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a lot is happening with this shit show, its fattening up and doing its own little autoflower thing. Still sad about how it was not what I was expecting. Will need to chop this in a week or two and call it a day. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% .
