Week 8 is over and its starting to look like fall in the tent. Yellowing leaves galore on Pheno 2 and a god fade started on Pheno 1. I have just been feeding with water when dry and keeping vigile of leaves that should come off. Its important to stay aware of the yellowing leaves as they can cause mold issues when they decompose on the plant which in turn also raises humidity and can cause bud rot. Ive had this issue once before when it was particularly humid but I learned to pluck the dead leaves as they are no more use to the plant anyway and also incorporated a de-humidifier. I would say its a must as far as equipment for grows go as you never know when you may need it particularly in humid areas such as where I live and depending on the type of plant, vigorous growth tends to cause more humidity. A flan is also important as it moves the air around the tent and eventually out through the ventilation. Apart from leaf picking, I have just been admiring the tent and watching buds that may look like they will swell up to the point where the stalks cant hold the weight. Its inevitable and I will just tie them up as they start to fall. Anyway only 2 more weeks to go (maybe 1 and a half epending on the last swell and trichome head colour). Until next week โœŒ๏ธ

This week, I started to notice deficiencies. Struggled to specifically diagnose them and I'm still not entirely sure I have... but I believe they're calcium deficiencies from watering with Reverse Osmosis H20. So, I brewed a compost tea for veg plants, and added some extra calmag. They seem to be responding well. Also started low stress training this week.

๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 12 โœจ The Glamorous Survivor Is Getting Louder and Louder ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well... Our solo survivor has apparently decided that being quiet and elegant was not enough anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's getting louder. And louder. And louder. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ The stacking is becoming impossible to ignore. The flowers are becoming more substantial. She's continuing to build all over the plant. And every time I look at her, I find another little detail that wasn't quite as obvious the week before. She's beautiful. She's becoming more impressive. And she's definitely making herself heard now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ This is Candy Rain Auto. Our survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our solo girl. And at this point... she's basically saying: "Okay, enough talking. Look at what I'm building." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So... let's look. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ WEEK 12 โ€“ SHE'S GETTING LOUD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plants that quietly develop. There are plants that suddenly explode. And then there is Candy Rain... who appears to have chosen the middle ground and simply keeps getting louder every single week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing flowers throughout her structure. And the whole plant is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. What I really like is that there isn't just one area doing all the work. The flowering structures are developing throughout the plant. You look at one branch... then another... then another... and there's always something happening. Another flower. Another developing cola. Another little section gaining volume. Another area catching the light. It's becoming a beautiful, continuous story. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ STACKING, STACKING & MORE STACKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest thing I notice this week. She's stacking. And she's stacking beautifully. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The structures are getting more substantial. And the plant is starting to look less like a girl who is simply flowering... and more like a girl who has decided: "Right. We're building now." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I absolutely love watching that transition. Because we've been following this plant from much earlier in the run. We've watched her establish herself. We've watched her flower. We've watched her develop. We've watched the first flowers become larger structures. And now... we're watching those structures continue to stack and gain presence. That's the beauty of doing these weekly diaries. You don't just see a plant. You see the progression. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ข SHE'S GETTING LOUDER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I keep coming back to that word. Louder. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ Because visually... that's exactly how it feels. She's making herself known. The flowers are becoming more obvious. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The overall plant is becoming more substantial. And the closer we get... the more she seems to say: "Hello? Are you looking at me yet?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, Candy Rain. We are. We definitely are. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒผ THOSE PISTILS ARE CHANGING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And now we're starting to see another little part of the story develop. The pistils. ๐ŸŒผโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ She's beginning to change their colour. We're starting to see some of that earlier bright, warm appearance evolve. They're no longer all sitting there looking exactly the same. There's a transition happening. And I really enjoy watching this because it's one of those small visual details that becomes much more obvious when you follow the same plant week after week. She's still carrying plenty of green. She's still very much a green girl. But we're beginning to see those little changes developing within the flowers. And that's another reminder that she's moving. She's progressing. She's following her own rhythm. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels forced. She's simply moving along exactly as she seems to want to. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š STILL PLENTY OF GREEN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... there's still a lot of green. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Candy Rain is not suddenly turning into an autumn postcard. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green foliage. And that's perfectly fine. She's still developing. She's still stacking. She's still bulking. She's still doing her thing. I don't want to force the story into some expectation of what she "should" look like at a particular moment. That's one of the things this whole project has taught me. Every plant has its own rhythm. Every phenotype expresses itself differently. And Candy Rain is telling us her story in her own language. So... we watch. We document. We appreciate. And we let her continue. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S FOLLOWING HER OWN RHYTHM โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This girl has never really been interested in following anybody else's schedule. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I love that. She's moving according to her own rhythm. Not necessarily screaming ahead. Not necessarily taking forever. Just... moving. Perfectly. At her own pace. And I think that's one of the most important things to recognize in a room like this. When you've got twelve different plants sharing one environment, you're going to see different speeds. Different structures. Different expressions. Different reactions. And that's exactly what makes the 8ร—8 Adventure so interesting. Candy Rain isn't late. She isn't early. She's Candy Rain. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š And she's doing Candy Rain things. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE SOLO SURVIVOR HAS BECOME A CHARACTER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I still think back to how this girl started her story. She was our solo survivor. The one that remained. And somehow... she has evolved into one of the characters I most enjoy following. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ At first, the story was simply: "She's still here." Then: "She's growing." Then: "She's flowering." Then: "She's stacking." Then: "She's bulking." And now: "She's getting louder." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's quite an evolution. She may have started as the survivor... but she's definitely not behaving like a background character anymore. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ FLOWERS EVERYWHERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Look around the plant... flowers. Look again... more flowers. Move closer... even more flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ That's what I love about this stage. The plant has developed enough structure that the flowers now tell most of the story. You can see the framework. You can see the branches. You can see the foliage. But your eyes keep getting pulled toward those developing flowering structures. And Candy Rain has plenty of them. She's filling her space beautifully. Not necessarily in some dramatic, explosive way... but consistently. And consistency is beautiful. Week after week. Flower after flower. Stack after stack. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TELLING THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Looking at this week's photographs, I really like how clearly the plant's progression comes through. The wider photographs show the overall structure. The closer photographs reveal the individual flowers. And then you get those little details... the pistils. The developing resin. The flower texture. The different stages of development across the plant. It's almost like looking at a little map of where she's been and where she's going. And honestly... I could probably keep photographing her all day. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because every time you change your angle, another flower catches your eye. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. SAME CANDY RAIN. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... we have to come back to one of the biggest themes of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... different plants. Different genetics. Different expressions. Candy Rain is receiving the same general lighting environment as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're keeping them around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying depending on canopy height and position. The photons are the same opportunity. But Candy Rain decides what to do with them. And apparently... she wants to make flowers. Lots of flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS DOING ITS JOB โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I really like what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this project. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do anything. But because we have more capability. We can create a broader lighting envelope. We can control the output. We can give the room the photons it needs without simply running everything flat out. And then... we observe. That's the interesting part. The light provides the energy. The plants interpret it. And Candy Rain? She's interpreting it beautifully. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing. She's getting louder. ๐Ÿฌโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THERE'S NOT MUCH FOR ME TO DO NOW โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And honestly... this is probably the biggest thing I can say about this week. There's not much for me to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm looking. I'm observing. I'm checking. I'm supporting whatever needs support. I'm adjusting when something actually asks for an adjustment. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because she's doing beautifully. Why would I interfere with something that is already working? The plant has established her structure. The flowering sites are there. The flowers are developing. The stacking is happening. She's progressing. So my role becomes simpler. Observe. Respond. Support. And get out of the way. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GROWER'S JOB: EXIST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There comes a point in every grow where the plant basically tells you: "Okay... I've got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And Candy Rain is definitely approaching that conversation. She's doing her thing. She's asking for what she needs. And when she does... we respond. But otherwise? I'm just here. Existing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Watching her. Admiring her. Taking photographs. Writing about her. And occasionally saying: "Well... look at you." ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ Sometimes growing is incredibly complicated. And sometimes... the best thing you can do is let the plant grow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒผ THE COLOURS ARE STARTING TO TELL US MORE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The changing pistils are one of the details I'm particularly interested in watching now. Earlier, those warmer yellowish tones were already giving Candy Rain a unique character. Now we're beginning to see more change. It's subtle. It's gradual. And it's exactly the kind of thing I enjoy documenting. Because this isn't about one photograph. It's about the sequence. Week 10. Week 11. Week 12. And suddenly you can see that little shift. That's the magic of a diary. You capture something that seems tiny today... and a few weeks later, you realize it was part of a much larger transition. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ AND YES...

The flowers continue carrying that beautiful frosty character. And combined with the changing pistils and all that green... she's developing a really lovely visual identity. Again... not necessarily the most dramatic plant in the room. Not necessarily the strangest. Not necessarily the biggest. She's simply... Candy Rain. And honestly? That's more than enough. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT TRYING TOO HARD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't look like she's trying. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She just grows. She stacks. She develops. She changes. And somehow... she ends up beautiful. There are plants that look like they were designed for a magazine cover. And then there are plants where you keep watching them week after week and slowly realize: "Wow... I really like this girl." Candy Rain is that kind of plant for me. She's grown on me. Literally. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ENVIRONMENT โ€“ DIFFERENT EXPRESSION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Again, for anyone discovering this diary for the first time... the 8ร—8 Adventure is about exactly this. We're not creating twelve completely different worlds. We're not changing everything every week for every phenotype. We're giving these plants a shared environment... and watching what genetics do with that opportunity. And Candy Rain gives us another beautiful example. Same room. Same photons. Same general nutrition. Same environmental strategy. Different expression. That's the experiment. And that's why I never get tired of seeing another week unfold. Because even when nothing dramatic changes... the plants are still changing. Quietly. Gradually. Beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As with the rest of the room, the flowering nutrition remains at: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Candy Rain. Same general room-wide strategy. Same nutritional foundation. And then... we observe what she does with it. She's doing beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 12 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

Just watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Watch the flowers. Watch the stacking. Watch the colour. Watch the pistils. Watch the resin. Watch the plant. And when she asks for something... we respond. Otherwise... let her do what she does. This is where patience becomes part of the grow. The plant doesn't need us to make something happen every day. Sometimes... she just needs time. And Candy Rain is using that time beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So what am I looking for? Honestly... more of the same. ๐ŸŒธ Continued stacking. ๐Ÿฌ Continued bulking. ๐ŸŒผ Further changes in the pistils. โ„๏ธ Continued resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Watching all that green evolve naturally. ๐Ÿ‘€ And simply seeing where her own rhythm takes her. I'm not trying to predict exactly what she's going to look like at the end. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm just enjoying the progression. Because right now... she looks happy. She looks beautiful. And she looks like she's enjoying herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœจ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET CANDY RAIN SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. Candy Rain Auto. Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's stacking. She's bulking. She's getting louder. She's changing. Her pistils are beginning to shift colour. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's becoming more impressive by the week. There's not much for me to do now. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. I'll exist. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll observe. I'll support whatever she needs. I'll make adjustments when they're actually necessary. And otherwise... I'll let her be. Because she's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š This girl doesn't need me to write her story for her. She's writing it herself. One flower. One stack. One week at a time. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy the colours as they begin to change. Let's watch those flowers continue to build. And let's see how loud this beautiful girl can get. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain... keep doing your thing. Keep stacking. Keep bulking. Keep changing. Keep surprising me.

Hey Farmers, I hope the clones don't clutter the diary, or confuse you guys, wanted to show the progress and have some fun with a clone. One of them is now in a micro DWC setup, a reservoir of less than a litre she will be flipped pretty soon, to keep her compact. Now for the main plant, she's so incredibly bushy, I'm not going to veg much longer, in fact I might flip next week. She's very indica like in nature, very strange for tangie, Dutch passion notified me this seed batch stretches less, here's hoping i still get some sativa stretch.

POSITIVES - Good harvest despite the heatwave I experienced whilst having to dry, Bud turned out super sticky and smelly, NEGATIVES - Didnโ€™t leave her to grow for long enough due to life restrictions (Trimmed on Christmas Day) Could have definitely filled out more but it is all a learning experience, Next one is already going through the seedling stage,Ethos genetics so very interested to see how they go! Happy Growing! ๐Ÿƒ

Great newsโ€”my Banana Kush seed has popped and is standing tall! ๐ŸŽ‰ Tiny cotyledons are already showing a healthy green, and Iโ€™m excited to watch this girl take off over the next few days. Hereโ€™s to a strong start! #BananaKush #Seedling #GrowDiaries **Day 5 โ€“ Seedling Update** Great news: all three Banana Kush seedlings are settling into veg! ๐ŸŒฑ The cotyledons look bright and healthy, and each plant has its first true leaf set. They did stretch a touch at the start, but the lowered light and steady airflow should help them thicken up fast. --- ### Environment * **Temp / RH:** 25 ยฐC day โ€“ 21 ยฐC night / **75 % RH** * **Light:** LED at 35 %, now **20 cm** above the canopy, 18/6 schedule * **Airflow:** Two fans have been running unfortunatley only since yesterday to keep fresh air moving and strengthen the stems * **Medium:** Light mix with extra perlite in 0.5 L peat pots on a seed-heat mat ### Watering & Feed * Still giving only **plain Gerolsteiner Naturell** (pH โ‰ˆ 6.2 out of the bottle) โ€“ no nutrients yet; runoff looks clean. ### Observations * Stems are a little lanky from the earlier light distance, but colour is good and the new growth looks happy. * Roots should start circling the peat pots soon; a gentle tug already shows light resistance. ### Next Moves 1. **Up-pot in 3โ€“4 days** into 3 L Air-Pots and bury an extra couple of centimetres of stem to fix the stretch. 2. Keep RH around 70โ€“75 % for another week, then start lowering to ~60 % as they bulk up. 3. Gradually ramp the light to 40โ€“45 % once theyโ€™re settled in the new pots. So far, so sweetโ€”hereโ€™s hoping for chunky Banana Kush colas down the road! ๐ŸŒโœจ
