This week was an absolute nightmare. For five days straight, our residual-current circuit breaker (RCD) kept tripping multiple times a day until I finally discovered—regretfully—that the dehumidifier was the cause. As a result, the ladies will now have to go without a dehumidifier for an indefinite period, which is leading to very high humidity levels in the basement. Besides that the Merengon looks awesome and healthy! Light hits with around 600 PPFD

.

Very nice strain will grow it again. Didnt have time to update at weeks 11-14

Still going lol. Still not too many amber, but I cut down one of the smaller side growths to dry and test. Keeping up with just water, probably could have added nutes for quite a bit longer, but oh well next time haha. Couple buds moved onto a light bulb and burned pretty badly. Be careful out there!

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 💗 Small Plant. Massive Presence. An Absolute Beauty. There are plants that are big. There are plants that are tall. There are plants that fill every available centimetre of a tent. And then... there are plants like Pink Rosay Pheno A. She's something different. She's small. She's compact. She's incredibly dense. And somehow, she manages to carry an absolutely ridiculous amount of flower for a plant of her size. Every time I look at her, I find myself thinking the same thing: How did all of that fit into this little plant? 😂💗 This girl continues to impress me. Not because she's trying to compete with the giants around her. Not because she's stretching toward the ceiling. But because she has taken her relatively small frame and turned almost every available centimetre into productive flowering structure. And honestly... few plants are like this. At least, few plants I've had the pleasure of growing. She's compact in size. But she is absolutely not compact in personality. 🌸 Week 9 – She's Still Radiant Pink Rosay continues moving beautifully through flowering. The plant remains around 111 cm, but that number really doesn't tell the story. Height is only one measurement. Look at the flowers. Look at the density. Look at the way the buds occupy the structure. Look at the proportion between the plant itself and the amount of flower she's carrying. That's where this girl becomes special. The flowering sites have developed into substantial, clearly defined flowers, with impressive structure and increasingly mature-looking resin coverage. The calyxes continue swelling. The pistils are changing as the flowers progress. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly impressive. She's not simply producing flowers. She's packing them in. And she's doing it beautifully. 💗 Small Frame. Huge Flower-to-Plant Ratio. This is probably the characteristic I appreciate most about her right now. Pink Rosay has one of those structures where you can immediately see how much of the plant is dedicated to flowering. She's compact. But the flowers are large relative to the plant. The branches aren't disappearing into endless stretches of empty space. Instead, they're carrying substantial flowering structures throughout the canopy. The result is something I find incredibly satisfying to look at: a small plant with an enormous flowering presence. It's almost like someone took a much larger plant and compressed it. 😂 And that's exactly why I keep calling her special. You can find tall plants. You can find massive plants. But finding a plant that remains this compact while developing this much flower relative to her overall size? That's something I really appreciate. 🌿 The Beauty Is in the Structure The structure is another thing that continues catching my attention. She's dense, but she doesn't look chaotic. The flowers have their places. The branches support them. The foliage surrounds the developing buds. And the whole plant has that feeling of everything working together. There's a real sense of balance here. That's important. Because density by itself isn't necessarily impressive. A plant can be dense simply because everything is crowded together. Pink Rosay is different. She has organized density. Her compact structure has become a framework for the flowers rather than simply a mass of foliage. And after the selective defoliation we performed previously, the plant has continued developing beautifully. We didn't strip her. We didn't try to expose every single flower. We simply opened areas where necessary and then stepped back. And now... we let her do what she does best. Build flowers. ✂️ After the Defoliation – Now We Watch The selective flowering defoliation from the previous week has now become part of the story. Some foliage was removed where it was contributing to unnecessary congestion, while plenty of healthy leaves were deliberately left behind. That distinction remains important to me. I'm not interested in making a plant look naked. I'm interested in making the canopy functional. And Pink Rosay still has plenty of green. The remaining leaves are working. They're capturing light. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're feeding the developing flowers. And the plant is responding exactly how I hoped she would. So this week? No need to reach for the scissors again. She's beautiful. She's balanced. She's developing. Leave her alone. Sometimes cultivation is knowing when to intervene. Sometimes it's knowing when to stop. Right now, I think Pink Rosay is telling me very clearly: "I've got this." 😂💗 ❄️ The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowers are now entering a really exciting stage. They're no longer just developing structures. They're becoming proper flowers. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are beginning to change. The buds are gaining density and volume. And the resin continues to become increasingly visible. When you look closely at the photographs, there is so much happening. Every flower has layers. Pistils crossing through the developing structures. Calyxes stacking around one another. Sugar leaves emerging through the flowers. And resin covering the surfaces. This is where the plant starts becoming more than just a green plant under a light. The architecture you spent weeks watching develop is finally turning into the thing you've been waiting for. Flowers. And Pink Rosay is producing some beautiful ones. 📸 A Photographer's Dream This girl is also becoming incredibly enjoyable to photograph. Her structure gives you the wide shots. Her compact frame tells the story. But then you move closer... And suddenly the entire image changes. The flowers are full of texture. The pistils create those beautiful fine lines. The calyxes create layers. The resin catches the light. And the surrounding leaves provide that deep green background. It's one of those plants where I can understand why macro photography and growing became so connected for me. You can photograph the whole plant... and then spend another hour looking at one flower. There's always another detail. Another texture. Another little piece of biology happening right in front of the lens. And Pink Rosay is giving me plenty to photograph. 💡 Eating Photons The lighting system remains unchanged. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead illumination, with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting adding another layer of light into the lower portions of the garden. And Pink Rosay is clearly making use of the available energy. The plant has plenty of flower structure. The foliage remains strong. And the flowers continue progressing. This is another reason I like having different phenotypes growing together. The environment gives them the opportunity. But their genetics decide what they do with it. Some plants turn that opportunity into height. Some into branches. Some into enormous individual flowers. Pink Rosay seems to have chosen: "I'll just make everything count." And I love that. 🌿 The 8×8 Perspective When I step back and look at the entire 8×8 Adventure, Pink Rosay becomes even more interesting. There are plants around her that are significantly taller. There are plants that occupy much more physical space. There are plants that look enormous from across the room. And then there's this little powerhouse. Standing there at around 111 cm... covered in flowers. It's a perfect reminder that comparing plants purely by height doesn't make much sense. A plant's potential isn't measured by the ruler alone. It's in the architecture. The density. The flower distribution. The health. The efficiency of the canopy. And ultimately... what she gives you at the end. And Pink Rosay is giving me plenty of reasons to be excited. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current program continues consistently: 🌱 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 ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current recorded conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 111 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 529 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.4 L per plant / 24h Nothing dramatic needs changing. The plant is progressing. The environment remains stable. The flowers are developing. So we stay consistent and let the biology continue doing the work. 🌬️ Density Means Attention Because Pink Rosay is so compact and flower-dense, environmental management remains something I pay close attention to. The more compact the flowering structure becomes, the more important airflow and general cleanliness become. That's not unique to Pink Rosay. It's simply part of managing a dense flowering canopy. And this is also why the work we did previously wasn't simply cosmetic. Opening selected areas can give light and air better pathways through the structure. But again... there is a balance. I don't want to destroy the very thing that makes this phenotype special. Her density is part of her identity. So we're managing it rather than fighting it. 💗 Phenotype Spotlight – One of the Special Ones I think I'm finally comfortable saying this: Pink Rosay Pheno A is one of those plants that doesn't come around every day. Maybe I'm biased. Of course I am. 😂 I've been watching her develop for weeks. I've photographed her. I've watered her. I've watched her change. I've watched the flowers develop from tiny early structures into what we're seeing now. So yes... I'm attached. But even objectively looking at her structure, there's something unusual about the relationship between her size and her flowers. She's small. She's compact. She's balanced. And yet she's carrying an enormous amount of flowering structure for that frame. That's what makes her interesting. Not simply that she's beautiful. It's how she's beautiful. And that's the difference. 🔭 Where Is She Going? This is the question now. And honestly... I don't know. That's what makes it exciting. She's progressing quickly. The flowers are developing beautifully. The pistils are changing. The calyxes are swelling. The resin is becoming increasingly apparent. And the structure is already impressive. But there's still a story left to write. How much more will those flowers swell? How much more density will they gain? How will the resin develop? How will those compact colas finish? And ultimately... what will this little powerhouse look like when she decides she's finished? I'm very curious. Because if she continues on this trajectory... she could be something really special. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Pink Rosay Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't think I can call her simply "the small plant" anymore. She's small. Yes. But that's almost irrelevant now. Because look at what she's carrying. Look at the flower-to-plant ratio. Look at the structure. Look at the density. Look at the development. Look at those flowers. This is one of those plants where the ruler tells one story... and the camera tells another. The ruler says: 111 cm. The plant says: "And?" 😂 Because she doesn't need another 50 centimetres. She has already done an incredible job with the centimetres she has. She's compact. She's dense. She's balanced. She's beautiful. She's developing some seriously impressive flowers. And every week, I find myself liking her more. So this week, I'm not going to ask whether Pink Rosay might surprise us. I'm going to say something much simpler: She already has. And now I'm just curious to see how far she can take it. This little lady has earned her spotlight. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the tallest. But because she has managed to turn a small frame into something that feels absolutely enormous. Pink Rosay Pheno A. Small plant. Huge flowers. Beautiful structure. Exceptional presence. And one hell of a personality. 💗🌸❄️ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Pink Rosay genetics. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for the environmental control. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has something different to teach us. Every plant writes a different story. And Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's writing one of my favourites. She's small. She's compact. She's absolutely packed with flowers. And she's becoming more beautiful every single week. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And let's give this little powerhouse exactly what she deserves: the spotlight. 💗✨ Until next week... Small frame. Huge flowers. Let her shine. Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚🌸

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

Vamos familia, actualizamos la quinta semana de floración de estas Lemon Cherry Runtz de FastBuds. La temperatura que estuvo entre los 24-26 grados y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos. En cuanto a las plantas las veo verde sano, estiraron bien y ensancharon bastante también. Se nota que los nutrientes de la marca Agrobeta cubre todas las necesidades de cada ejemplar, también añadí Thor y Mega Pk. Las flores empezaron a tricomar y engordar, por el momento todo correcto, os dejé también alguna novedad y un cambio en la sala, agradecer al equipo de Mars hydro por el nuevo TSW2000. (los últimos 5 años cultive solo con los leds de esta marca) los cuales probé, TS600, TS1000, TS3000, TSL2000. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

9. Woche Ich hatte letzte Woche plötzlich massiv Probleme mit Magnesium aber habe es in den Griff bekommen 😁

Welcome to Flower Week 7 and harvest of Sensi Seeds Purple Berry Muffinz I'm excited to share my grow journey with you from my Sensi Seeds Project . It's going to be an incredible ride, full of learning, growing, and connecting with fellow growers from all around the world! For this Project , I’ve chosen the Feminized Photo Strain Purple Berry Muffinz: Here’s what I’m working with: • 🌱 Tent: 120x60x80 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: Sensi Seeds • 💧Strain Info : 26% • ⏳ Flowering Time: 6-7weeks

Flowering started today. In a few weeks we see the buds.

Sanlight EVO 3-60 at 80% Day 22: did nothing today 👌🏻 Day 23: looking good and watered again🌊. Watered with rain water, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. Transplanted into a bigger Pot👌🏻 Day 25: looking good and watered again. Watered with rain water and 1ml/l Powerzyme, 1 ml/l Hesi Boost, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, 1 ml/l Bloom Complex and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. EC at 1.0 and a pH of 6.4.

Had to do the first res change, brought the ppm to 620+/- . This week was recorded on morning number 11. Roots are starting to come out of the net pots in all 3 plants. Looking forward to next week with a new res change to 800ppm. Update. 4/10 Res change to 850 and ph of 6. Day 18. Will do res change around the 28th to a heavy feed for late veg stage of around 950 to 1000. That will bring me into flower for the 2 blue dreams.

Her scent is incredible, something sweet. The buds developed quickly, and now appear to be getting fatter. Let's see what these last 4 weeks of flowering will be like. 12/12 from the beginning, left it with an acceptable size, but in the next cultivation I will start LST ties from earlier, to make better use of the light. Let's see the difference.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

I’ve kept almost all the fertilizer, light, and environmental parameters the same. I did a good defoliation to improve airflow, since I was having a bit of trouble lowering the humidity. This also helps the light penetrate better through the buds, allowing them to develop more fully.
