Came back from vacation on day 94 and the ladies look amazing!💚

Última semana para la Gorilla Rainbow y Gorilla Banana 2, tardo en llegar el Flawless Finish de Advance Nutrients pero ya lo aplique 2ml por litro de agua en ambas plantas. Corte la Gorilla Ghost y la Gorilla Banana 1 para participar en el sorteo de BSF Mastee Indoor, les faltaba tal vez una semana pero revise los tricomas y ya estaban listos en un 40% La Gorilla Rainbow se desarrollo espectacular, sin duda alguna la mejor de las 4 de la Familia Gorilla BSF

Hello, schönen Sonntag euch mal wieder =D 🌞 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief erstaunlicherweise echt ruhig =) Wir bewegen uns langsam, aber sicher aufs Ende zu. Den Mädels geht es wieder gut, yaay :D 💚 Anfang der Woche habe ich mich dazu entschieden, einen großen Wasserwechsel durchzuführen. Ich habe hier wirklich eine Weile mit mir gehadert, ob ich diesen Schritt gehen soll oder nicht 😅 Vor kurzem waren ja erst die pH-Probleme, unter denen sie zeitweise sichtbar gelitten haben.. Noch mehr Stress zu erzeugen war für mich keine Option . Allerdings hat mich der Gedanke gequält, dass ich durch die pH-Turbulenzen und die dadurch super unregelmäßigen Top-ups – um den Wert bis zum Eintreffen von pH Plus überhaupt wieder nach oben zu schieben – nicht mehr genau nachvollziehen konnte, wie mein Reservoir tatsächlich dasteht. Am Ende habe ich mich dazu entschieden, das System für die letzten Wochen oder Tage, je nachdem wie viel Zeit sie durch die vergangenen Probleme noch brauchen, zu etwa 3/4 zu resetten und nochmal sauber einzustellen =) Daraufhin ist mir nochmal der pH weggedriftet für 2 Tage, aber diesmal konnte ich das gut mit pH Plus auffangen. Für die nächste Runde wird auf jeden Fall Kaliumkarbonat mit eingeplant, um solche Späße von Anfang an zu vermeiden =)📊 Hab hier mein Wasser ein bisschen unterschätzt .. :D Rückblickend war die Entscheidung zum Wechsel genau richtig. Alles läuft wieder sauber und stabil, die Mädels sind happy und ich auch =D 🌱 Aktuell gebe ich nur noch täglich fünf Liter Wasser mit – Calcium, Magnesium, pH auf Res – hinzu. Damit fahre ich die Lösung langsam runter und halte den Wasserstand 📉 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake reift langsam aus =) Ich denke, sie wird als Erste soweit sein. Sie ist schön gefrostet ❄️, hat nochmal etwas zugelegt an Volumen und ihr Geruch hat sich gesetzt 🍇 Wirklich angenehm klar nach Blaubeere, nichts mehr Stechendes. Ihre Buds sehen auch einfach lecker aus 🤤 Bei ihr habe ich auch schon mit den ersten Trichom-Checks begonnen 😊 Purpz ist auch wieder da :D 💜 Sie hat wie BBCC noch etwas an Volumen gemacht und geht vermutlich ebenfalls langsam in den Endspurt. Ich bin echt gespannt, ob sie sich noch etwas verfärben wird in den nächsten Tagen, nach den Strapazen. Sonst auch wirklich schöne Buds bisher =) Den Geruch kann ich gar nicht mehr definieren 🤔 Süßlich, aber nicht penetrant vielleicht :D Auf jeden Fall nicht schlecht 😊 Hier checke ich aktuell auch schon langsam Trichome. Notorious sieht aktuell nicht schön aus, was leider zu erwarten war und klar auf meine Kappe geht ..🙃 Trotzdem, und das feiere ich wirklich, stackt sie noch leicht nach und macht wieder einen aktiven Eindruck🔥 Ihre kushige Erdnote ist noch vorhanden, und auch sonst macht sie bis auf die abgerauchten Blätter einen soliden Eindruck 😊 Mal schauen, wann sie so weit ist. Guzzlerz ist an Notorious optisch auf jeden Fall vorbeigezogen, sie hat schön zugelegt 🌿 Ich finde trotzdem irgendwie, dass sie aussieht, als würde sie am längsten brauchen =D 😅 Ihren Schimmer hat sie, finde ich, immer noch behalten 😊 Und auch hier freut es mich, dass das noch etwas geworden ist =D Nächste Woche wird sicher gut🔥 ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren 🔄 VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm EC: 1.400–1.500 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Danke mal wieder für die Zeit 😊 Wie immer eine schöne Woche und gesunde Plants euch 🌿

Harvested today, buds are looking nice and frosty. Happy with my first grow outcome. Bud washed half of them to see if there is a major difference once dried and cured. Also had a small mite problem with the ones I washed. (Doc method) Will dry upside fro 5-7 days then put those babies in mason jars with humidity packs (62) Will weigh and shoot picks when dried and trimmed.

Week 6 here and I'm going back to the 6/9ml macro/bloom amount. What do yall think so far? A little over halfway at this point.

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 The Tiny One That Refused To Give Up If I were growing only two or three plants, I'm going to be completely honest... I probably wouldn't have kept her. Pink Rosay Pheno B is tiny. Not small. Not compact. Tiny. She's easily among the smallest plants I've ever grown. And that's exactly what makes her so interesting. Because this is the whole point of the 8×8 Adventure. I'm growing twelve different genetics side by side, and instead of selecting only the plants that immediately impress me, I'm giving every phenotype the opportunity to tell me who she is. And this little lady? She's definitely telling us. She isn't going to produce the biggest harvest in the tent. She probably won't even come close. But she's healthy. She's flowering. She's developing beautifully. And she's still here. Sometimes that's enough reason to keep watching. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Tiny, But Still Building The stretch is essentially behind her now, and her personality couldn't be clearer. Pink Rosay Pheno B has remained incredibly compact throughout the entire grow. Her nodes are tightly packed. Her branches remain short. Her entire structure feels almost miniature compared with the plants surrounding her. But when you look closely... There are flowers everywhere. Those tiny branches are carrying developing buds, and the white pistils continue appearing across the flowering sites. She's slowly turning this miniature framework into a miniature flowering plant. And there's something strangely beautiful about that. She isn't trying to become something she's not. She's simply doing what her genetics told her to do. ✂️ Defoliation – Opening The Little Lady Up Just like her sister, Pink Rosay Pheno B also received a selective defoliation this week. Again, this wasn't because she was unhealthy. Quite the opposite. She's looking beautiful. The reason was simply that her extremely compact architecture creates a very dense little package of foliage and flowers. With so much plant compressed into such a small vertical space, selectively removing some unnecessary leaves helps open the structure. The goal isn't to strip the plant. It's not about removing healthy leaves just because we can. And it's certainly not about making the plant look pretty for a photograph. The idea is to create a little more space between foliage, flowers, light and moving air. I removed leaves that were contributing to congestion and cleaned up portions of the lower and interior structure where development was unlikely to justify keeping excessive foliage. But I didn't remove everything. There are still flowers down there. And I'm leaving some of them. Because this is an experiment. I want to see what this tiny phenotype can actually do. 💡 Let The Photons Move With a plant this compact, light management becomes particularly interesting. The Future of Grow Black Series provides the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system adds another source of illumination deeper in the room. But there's an important distinction here. Adding light doesn't automatically mean every flower needs to be exposed directly to it. The plant still has its own architecture. Leaves overlap. Flowers sit underneath other leaves. Some areas naturally receive less light. By selectively opening the canopy, we're simply allowing more of the available photons to travel through the structure rather than being intercepted immediately by layers of foliage. It's not about making the plant brighter. It's about making the light distribution more useful. And with a plant this tiny and dense, every little opening makes a difference to the way light and air move through her. 🌱 The Smallest Plant With A Big Lesson This is probably the part of her story I appreciate most. If you only looked at her height, you could easily conclude that something went wrong. But nothing went wrong. She simply expressed herself differently. That's one of the reasons growing multiple phenotypes is so valuable. Put two sisters next to each other and suddenly the differences become impossible to ignore. One can stretch. One can stay short. One can develop large branches. Another can produce a miniature architecture. Same genetic family. Completely different personalities. And instead of asking: "Why isn't she like her sister?" I prefer asking: "What can she show me if I let her finish?" That's the experiment. And that's why she's still here. 🌼 Flowers, Pistils & Personality Despite her size, the flowering development is genuinely beautiful. The flowers are becoming more defined, with fresh white pistils continuing to emerge from the developing calyxes. The deep green foliage provides an incredible contrast against those bright white hairs. And the more I look at her, the more I realise that her size is actually part of her charm. She's almost like a miniature version of a full-sized flowering plant. Everything is there. Just compressed. Tiny branches. Tiny leaves. Tiny flowers. Tiny structure. But the same biological process is happening. She's still capturing light. She's still producing energy. She's still moving water and nutrients. She's still building flowers. And she's still telling us what her genetics are capable of. ❄️ She's Still Getting Frostier Another thing that keeps this little plant interesting is the resin development. She's beginning to show that frosted appearance across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves, adding another layer to what is already an incredibly attractive little plant. I don't expect her to suddenly turn into a giant producer. But I do think she could produce something interesting in terms of flower quality. And if the final amount ends up being very small? That's okay too. I've already been thinking that her eventual harvest may make more sense as a small personal extraction project rather than trying to treat her like a traditional high-yield plant. Something like an ice-water wash could give those flowers another purpose. But that's a decision for much later. For now... She's growing. And that's what matters. 💧 Consistency Is Still The Strategy The beauty of this phenotype is that she hasn't needed special treatment. She's been receiving the same general cultivation philosophy as the rest of the room while being observed individually. Hand watering gives me the opportunity to assess her every day and make sure her needs are being met without forcing her into a feeding strategy designed around a larger plant. The important thing isn't trying to make her bigger at this point. That chapter is over. Now the objective is simply to allow her to finish as strongly and naturally as possible. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's producing resin. So we keep the environment stable and let her do the rest. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a remarkably stable environment for all these different phenotypes. Current conditions remain around: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm This is one of the things I love most about this project. Twelve different plants. Twelve different personalities. One environment. And every phenotype gets to show us how she responds to the same cultivation philosophy. 👀 Looking Ahead – Let's See What She's Got At this point, I'm not expecting miracles from Pink Rosay Pheno B. And I don't mean that negatively. I mean that realistically. She's tiny. Her total flower mass will naturally be limited by the amount of plant she's carrying. But that's okay. The goal now isn't to turn her into something she's not. It's to see how beautifully she can finish as herself. The flowers should continue swelling. The pistils will eventually begin their transition toward maturity. Resin production should continue increasing. And that little compact canopy should slowly transform from a collection of tiny flowers into a finished miniature harvest. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she won't. Either way... She's already taught me something. ❤️ Final Thoughts – The Little Lady That Stayed Pink Rosay Pheno B is probably never going to win a competition for plant height. She isn't going to dominate the canopy. She isn't going to produce a mountain of flowers. And honestly? That's okay. Because this project was never only about growing the biggest plant. It's about observing genetics. It's about giving different phenotypes the room to express themselves. It's about learning that sometimes the plant you would have removed from the garden is the one that ends up teaching you something you wouldn't have learned otherwise. If I had only been growing a couple of plants, I might have looked at this tiny Pink Rosay early in the grow and decided that her journey wasn't worth the space. But I didn't. I gave her a chance. And now she's standing there, covered in flowers, getting frostier every week and quietly proving that she still has a story to tell. She may be the smallest plant in the room. She may produce the smallest harvest. She may eventually become a tiny jar of flowers... Or perhaps an even tinier ice-water experiment. But before any of that happens, she deserves exactly what every other phenotype in this project receives: Time. Time to grow. Time to flower. Time to express herself. And time to show us what she can do. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental control and everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every plant doesn't need to be the biggest. Every phenotype doesn't need to be a winner. Sometimes... the smallest ones simply need someone willing to let them finish their story. And this little lady isn't finished yet. 🌸 Until next week... Tiny plant. Big personality. Still here. Still shining. 🌱✨ Growers Love and happy growing! 💚

Comienza la cuarta semana de floracion y empiezan a formarse los cogollines, continuo midoendo EC de agua escurrida. 📅 Dia 22: Riego con nutrientes EC 1500, EC escurrida 2100, necesito bajar la cantidad de sales de nuevo. 📅 Dia 23: Riego con nutrientes EC 1250, EC escurrida 2100, sigo ajustando la EC, la planta expulsa algo de sales. 📅 Dia 24: Riego con nutrientes EC 1250, EC escurrida 1850, sigo ajustando la EC. 📅 Dia 25: Descanso 📅 Dia 26: Riego con nutrientes EC 1450, EC escurrida 1950 📅 Dia 27: Descanso 📅 dia 28: Riego con nutrientes EC 1200, EC escurrida 1750, la araña blanca pinta bien. Desprende unos aromas increíblemente frescos 💪

Día 42 de vida de las plantas, estas semanas se ha producido un crecimiento explosivo, se ha regado con unos 1,5 litros por planta con un PH de 6,1 y una EC de 0,82. Se han añadido suplementos al riego para favorecer la floración aun sin utilizar ningún fertilizante. Una de las plantas tiene unos pistilos impresionantes mientras que a la mas pequeña le sigue costando estirarse, ya ha conseguido mostrar las puntas de las hojas. Se ha echo poda de bajos eliminando las ramas con menor exposición a la luz, solo queremos cogollos grandes y compactos. He colocado un intractor de aire y he recolocado el sensor de temperatura y humedad para obtener unos valores mas reales, tenemos ciertos problemas de humedad que aun estoy intentado resolver, por las noches sube a más de 70% y no consigo bajar de 65%. No he aplicado preventivos y aun menos aplicar foliar para que no suba la humedad, con el diatomeas de la semana pasada parece que no existe ninguna plaga en el cultivo. Por otro lado he apreciado una pequeña deficiencia en las hojas de las plantas, según la IA lo más probable es deficiencia de calcio o magnesio, he aplicado 1 ml/l de Calmag a ver como progresa estas semanas. Estas son las condiciones de esta semana: Ventilación: nivel 50% oscilación 90 grados Extractor: 45% Humidificador: Off Luz: 85% con altura de 30 cm Ppfd: 550 umol/m2/s Periodo: 18-6 Humedad: 65% a 75% Temperatura: Día 24 C - Noche 20 C Vpd: 0,51 a 1,12 kpa Co2: 329 a 760 ppm Temperatura del sustrato: mínima 20,4 C máxima 23 C Humedad del sustrato: mínima 8,5% máxima 33,8% Productos y Marcas usadas: Indoor: MARSHYDRO 80x80x160 Led: MARSHYDRO FC 1500 EVO SAMSUNG Ventilacion y extracción: MARSHYDRO Controlador: IHUB PRO MARSHYDRO + Kit Sensores Medidor PH: Milwaukee PH 600 Medidor EC: Milwaukee C66 Sustrato: COMPOSANA Semilleros / LIGHT MIX BIOBIZZ Ph: BIOBIZZ UP / DOWN -Fertilizantes- BAC: GROW, BLOOM, PK, CALMAG ADVANCED NUTRIENTS: VODOO JUICE, BUD CANDY, TASTY TERPENES, BIG BUD, OVERDRIVE, BUD IGNITOR.

Sep 24: starting new diary to accommodate 30 week limit on Growdiaries. Buds are nearly ready but weather is good so will keep her going a bit longer. Nothing harvested from this plant yet but the clones are mostly harvested and produced great dense buds. Fantastic plant. Sep 28: took 995 g wet in first round which might be half of the plant, but I think I’ll end up over 2 kg wet which means 454 g dry is possible. Come on, I still haven’t had a one pound plant. Either way, this is the best growing strain I’ve ever tried, the buds are great and trimming is a total breeze. 👍👍

En esta segunda semana aumento la intendidad del LED hasta alcanzar 18.000 LUX en la punta de las plantas, manteniendo la distancia de 50cm. En uno de los riegos agrego nitrógeno (Fish Mix), en otro Bio Heaven, y siempre CalMag, ya que parto de un agua de baja mineralización (EC 0.05)

It was a busy week full of events. I got them a 600 watts HPS light and microbes to help them grow faster. I finally started the trellis netting to even the canopy and get more from the lights and I also spray the plants again for bugs. I found out that I've been using powder nutrients on my reservoir and that's probably why I've been getting floods two or tree times a week and now the valve is open only when I'm there, because I'm sick of cleaning and I took that little sick plant out. My cats have her now.

Hey all, Its been a few weeks so lets take a peak at our Blueberry manifold. Last time we topped our girl down to the 3rd node and removed all other growth except the two growth tip and their fan leaves. Over the past two weeks shes continued to grow an addition four pairs of leaves on each arm. This wee we will cut those branches back to the 3rd node and then clean all other growth from the plant except what remains on the 1st and 3rd node of each side. This should give us 8 main colas that will grow up from these eight remaining growth tips. Continuing to feed as normal while trying to get the soil PH up to a proper level.

Plants are really blowing up! Forgot what day I flipped these girls exactly but I’m guessing there just under 2 weeks into flower now. Cheers 💨

Day 89 - pH thing has been quite steady the last few days, but I think part of the reason is I have been keeping it over 6 (between 6.1 & 6.3) which makes me think it may not be able to feed on something so keeps pH stable (This pH issue could be root acidification with too much Potassium; it seems to coincide with the PK Warrior being added - pH needs to be below 6 for Potassium uptake to happen so I artificially blocked it by keeping pH above 6!!!). EC also going up but not as quick as it was...drops back further than it was when adding RO water (i.e. if it drank 10L and EC went from 1.7 to 1.9, adding 10L back takes it to 1.6). So, as I have been promising myself for the last couple of days, I did a full tank change. Have dropped the feed substantially for the start of week 7 (Which is technically Monday coming). New Nute Strength: Silicon - 1ml/L Sumo Boost - 2ml/L Bloom A - 1.2ml/L Bloom B - 1.2ml/L PK Warrior - 0.4ml/L Sensizym - 2ml/L Fulvic - 2ml/L EC 0.8, pH 5.9 Did have A & B @ 1ml/L but EC was barely 0.7 (Background EC of water is 0.2) so added the touch more A&B so as not to super starve them. Will now monitor pH/EC for the next few days and try to keep levels nice and even for the next 9-10 days before going to week 8 force and week 9 flush and the finishing bulb! ************************************************* Day 85 - Dayum this pH management getting funky now!!! For the last week, pH keeps taking a nose dive (0.5-0.7 a day) with water level dropping and EC rising. Can't work out what the girls are at at all. Apart from lower leaf loss due to light being blocked, the plant is creating some new leaf matter (As you would expect) where light is getting reflected down low but can't work out the pH drops. No matter what EC i set them too, or pH, they only appear to be taking on water...or something micro (Ca/MG or the likes) and leaving the macro's. Topped up tank with some RO (Reclaimed from dehumidifier) water and only added calmag since tank change 3 nights back (It has some N in it for the new green and hopefully just gives what it needs with Ca/Mg). Apart from that, just keeping an eye on things to make sure no burn...dont want to put them on a starve on the beginning of Flower week 6!!!

Same feed schedule and ratio as last week, trichomes are now starting to cover the sugar leaves slowly.. the smell is starting to get sweeter finishing up week 7.. Upping the dose on bloom and TM this 8th week coming up and possibly cut out the N Shes growing up so fast 😂
