The week was nothing unusual, I fertilized today and see them growing very well 😍 Next week I will defoliate and thin out again and remove what is in the shade and will not wear anything ... otherwise I am very, very satisfied with the growth of the plants😁😏😊

Two weeks Update on week 3

Everything good. Happy growing for all 🙏

There was mixed weather again all week. She took some heavy rain and I therefore skipped the nutrients for a few days because she was soaked in water all the time. This caused a slight nutrient deficit that I hope to compensate the next few days with regular feedings. I had to take some leafs of that were yellow... But all In all she is doing fine and she is gaining flower mass. And she starts to smell really nice.

Día 01 de su octava semana de flora. Pandemia kush y la Trimosa x mimosa sin apical se van a cortar a mediados de esta semana. El resto por cuestión de tiempo voy a apurarlas cortandolas en 10 días más.

Grüße Growmies im Hochsommer! Der Strain verträgt die Hitze ziemlich gut und wächst ordentlich! Seine Vorblüte hat mittlerweile angefangen samt strech.

Nothing of note really to add here. One day maybe like day 10 or so, I forgot to water on a hot day and the plant slumped. Bounced back immediately after watering. Other than that we seem to be on course. Currently fighting the urge to start using fertilizers 😒.

Compost tea turned out well, let it go for 26 hours total and geared it towards fungal. Also took some soil samples several days later around the stalks and found a lot of nematodes and protozoa which is what you want to see. Lots of different types of nematodes so what your looking for are the bacterial feeders (there are charts online that show you how to identify them). Mycorrhizae can be identified by it's dark colour, uniformity and segmented nature. Testate amoebas live in a translucent shell like a snail and are easy to spot but hard to spot moving due to my shitty microscope, but look for the tentacles. Also found some eggs with movement inside, no idea what they are but they have vacuoles and flagella. She is really getting sticky and smelly now; berries with herb notes. You can see the resin stretching over the trichomes in the last pic. No signs of senescence yet so I'm not going to feed them, they should have plenty of food anyway as this is a second run of the same soil.

Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

i started with LST. unfortunately the plant grew too fast in height, which doesn't make it any easier now. next week i'll try it with twine. maybe i should it just let it grow as it likes.

this week is the penultimate transplant before flowering, my intention is two more weeks of vegetation so that they present the preflowers signaling the full ripening of this phase, healthy root, I noticed that it is very important for the results

Been a tuff week as my ph pen failed so had signs of defiantly But that’s now corrected so hope it didn’t set them all back too much

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 💗 Small Frame. Massive Flower Power. Still Absolutely Beautiful. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this girl... She's still shining. Actually, I think I'm becoming a little bit obsessed with her. 😂💗 Because every time I look at Pink Rosay Pheno A, I have the same thought: "I wish they were all this easy." Not because the other girls aren't beautiful. They are. I love every single one of them for different reasons. But this girl? She's just... easy. Easy to manage. Easy to move. Easy to photograph. Easy to inspect. Easy to care for. She doesn't take up much space. She doesn't demand much attention. She doesn't try to take over the room. And yet somehow... she's carrying an absolutely ridiculous amount of flower for the space she occupies. Small frame. Big personality. Lots of buds. Lots of density. Lots of beauty. And at Week 10? She's still doing exactly what she's been doing from the beginning. Shining. 💗✨ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone finding this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept is simple: Give twelve different plants essentially the same opportunity... and let them show us what they're capable of. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different architectures. Different personalities. And Pink Rosay Pheno A has definitely developed one of my favourite personalities in the room. She's compact. She's dense. She's productive. She's beautiful. And she doesn't seem interested in making my life difficult. 😂💗 Honestly... I'll take that. 💗 I Really Love This Plant I think it's time to admit it. I really love this plant. There. I said it. 😂 There's something incredibly satisfying about a plant like this. You don't have to constantly work around her. You don't have to fight for access. You don't have to figure out how to move a giant structure without bumping into everything around it. You can simply pick her up, move her where you need her, inspect her, photograph her and put her back. And then you look at what she's carrying... and suddenly you realize: This little girl is not playing around. She's compact, yes. But she's carrying a lot. A lot of flowers. A lot of density. A lot of developing weight. And a lot of personality. That's a combination I absolutely appreciate. 🌸 Small Plant. Huge Flower Presence. The height hasn't changed dramatically. She's still around 111 cm. And honestly? That's perfect. I don't need her to become taller. I don't need another metre of plant. I don't need her reaching for the ceiling. Because she's already using her available space incredibly well. Look at the flowering structure. Look at how much of her frame is dedicated to flowers. Look at the density. This is what makes her so interesting. She's not producing a huge amount of empty architecture around the flowers. She's compact. She's efficient with her space. And she's filling that space with beautiful developing flowers. It's almost like someone took a much larger plant and compressed it. 😂 And I absolutely love it. 🌿 Peculiar Is Beautiful One word keeps coming back to me with this girl: peculiar. And I mean that as a compliment. She's not generic. She doesn't look like every other plant in the room. She has her own proportions. Her own flower distribution. Her own architecture. Her own way of occupying space. And that's exactly the sort of thing I enjoy finding during an experiment like this. I like unique. I like unusual. I like plants that make me stop and look twice. Pink Rosay does that. And the more I watch her develop, the more I appreciate just how special her expression is. ❄️ The Density Keeps Building At Week 10, the flowers are becoming increasingly substantial. The developing buds have that wonderful compact appearance that has become one of her defining characteristics. The calyxes are stacking. The flowers are gaining density. The pistils are continuing their progression. And the resin is becoming increasingly apparent across the flowering structures. There is something particularly satisfying about seeing these flowers photographed at this stage. From a distance, you see a compact flowering plant. Get closer... and the story changes completely. Suddenly you're looking at layers of calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Textures. Tiny details everywhere. And because this plant is so compact, I can actually get around her easily enough to photograph all of those different angles. That's another little advantage of having a plant like this. She's basically a photographer's dream. 😂📸💗 📸 She Makes My Job Easy I think this deserves its own section. Because growing isn't only about what the plant produces. It's also about the relationship you develop with the plant while you're growing it. And Pink Rosay is simply... convenient. She's easy to reach. Easy to move. Easy to inspect. Easy to photograph. Easy to work around. She doesn't turn every little task into an engineering project. 😂 And when you're managing an entire 8×8 room full of different plants, those little things matter. Space matters. Accessibility matters. Being able to see what you're doing matters. Being able to get a camera into the right position matters. And this girl makes all of that incredibly straightforward. Then she rewards you with beautiful flowers. That's a pretty good deal. ✂️ No Need to Keep Touching Her The selective defoliation from the previous weeks has done its job. The plant has plenty of healthy foliage remaining. The flowering structure is visible. The canopy is manageable. And I'm not looking for reasons to take more leaves simply because we're now at Week 10. There's no prize for using the scissors more often. 😂 The goal is a healthy, functional plant. And Pink Rosay looks exactly like that. So we're letting her keep doing her thing. The leaves she has are working. The flowers are developing. The plant is progressing. There's no reason to manufacture intervention where none is needed. Sometimes the best cultivation decision is simply: leave her alone. And that's exactly what we're doing. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora contributes additional light into the lower canopy. And Pink Rosay continues converting all of that available energy into exactly what we want to see: plant. Leaves. Branches. Flowers. Resin. Density. Development. It's another beautiful example of how twelve plants can share essentially the same environment while expressing themselves completely differently. Some turn that opportunity into height. Some into enormous branches. Some into sprawling canopies. Pink Rosay seems to have decided: "I'll just make every centimetre count." And honestly? I love that strategy. 💧 Feeding the Little Powerhouse The nutrition remains consistent with the flowering program used throughout the room: 🌸 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 ⚗️ pH adjustment as required The current recorded solution strength remains around: EC: ~2.0 mS/cm with: pH: 6.0 Watering has increased slightly to approximately: 💧 1.4 L per plant / 24h And visually? She's happy. That's the important part. No need to complicate something that's working. We provide the water. We provide the nutrients. We provide the environment. And she does the rest. 🌡️ Week 10 Conditions Current recorded conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 111 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 529 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.4 L per plant / 24h The environment remains stable. And stability is exactly what I want while this girl continues finishing her story. 🌸 A Lot of Flower in a Small Package This is probably the best way I can describe her right now. A lot of flower in a small package. 😂💗 She doesn't need a huge footprint. She doesn't need an enormous canopy. She doesn't need to stretch another fifty centimetres. She's already doing an excellent job with what she's got. And when I compare her to some of the enormous plants in the room, the difference is almost funny. There are girls that require two people to properly navigate around. Then there's Pink Rosay. "Excuse me, little lady." Pick her up. Move her. Photograph her. Inspect her. Done. 😂 And then you look again... How the hell are you carrying all of that? 🔬 This Is Exactly Why Phenotypes Are Fun Pink Rosay is another reminder that size isn't everything. If I judged plants only by height, I'd miss so much. Height doesn't tell me how efficiently the plant uses its space. It doesn't tell me how flowers are distributed. It doesn't tell me how dense those flowers become. It doesn't tell me how easy the plant is to manage. And it certainly doesn't tell me how much I might enjoy growing it. Pink Rosay has checked a lot of those boxes. She's compact. She's manageable. She's productive-looking. She's beautiful. She's peculiar. And she's fascinating. That's a pretty damn good phenotype. 📸 This Week's Gallery And of course... the camera loves her. The wider photographs show the compact architecture. The closer photographs reveal the flower density. Then you get into the really close shots... and it's just layers of detail. Flowers packed together. Pistils. Calyxes. Resin. Sugar leaves. Textures. And that unmistakable Pink Rosay structure. This is exactly why I enjoy macro photography so much. The plant can look completely different depending on how close you get. From across the room: small plant. From five centimetres away: holy shit, look at that flower. 😂💗 💗 One of My Favourites in the Room I know I've said it before. And I'll probably say it again. I love all these plants. Every single phenotype has something that makes me want to keep watching. But Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's definitely one of the girls I have developed a soft spot for. Maybe it's the compactness. Maybe it's the flower-to-plant ratio. Maybe it's how easy she is to work with. Maybe it's simply because she looks so damn good. Probably all of the above. And that's okay. Sometimes you grow a plant and somewhere along the way you realize: "Yeah... you're one of my favourites." That's this girl. 🔭 Looking Ahead And now I'm very curious to see what the next stage brings. She's already carrying substantial flower. She's already dense. She's already beautiful. But we're not writing the ending yet. There is still development ahead. More maturation. More resin. More density. More changes in the flowers. And eventually... the final version of Pink Rosay Pheno A will reveal herself. That's the part I love. You can look at a plant and think you already know what you're going to get. Then she spends another week surprising you. So let's not rush. Let's keep providing. Let's keep observing. Let's keep photographing. And let's see what this little powerhouse decides to do next. ✨ Final Thoughts — Let the Little Lady Shine Week 10. And I'm still looking at Pink Rosay thinking: "I wish every plant was this easy." 😂💗 Not because I want every plant to be the same. Absolutely not. The differences are the whole reason we're doing this adventure. But from a grower's perspective? A compact plant that doesn't demand much space... doesn't make every task complicated... is easy to move... easy to inspect... easy to photograph... easy to care for... and then carries a huge amount of beautiful flower? Yes please. I'll take more of those. 😂 She's small. But she's carrying a lot. A lot of buds. A lot of density. A lot of developing weight. A lot of resin. And an enormous amount of personality. She's peculiar. She's beautiful. She's manageable. She's productive. And she's become one of those plants that I genuinely enjoy spending time with. The ruler says: 111 cm. The plant says: "That's all I need." 😂💗 And you know what? She's right. She doesn't need to be bigger. She doesn't need to be taller. She doesn't need to occupy more space. She has already shown us that sometimes... less plant can mean more plant. And Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's proving that beautifully. So let's keep giving her what she needs. Water. Nutrition. Light. A stable environment. And a little bit of love. Then we'll step back... and let her do what she does best. Shine. 💗🌸❄️✨ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this 8×8 Adventure and share these different expressions week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics behind this beautiful little powerhouse. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of the story. And Pink Rosay Pheno A has certainly written one of my favourite chapters. She's not the tallest. She's not the biggest. She doesn't take up much space. She doesn't demand much attention. But look at her. Look at what she's carrying. A compact frame absolutely loaded with flowers. Dense. Beautiful. Peculiar. Easy to manage. Easy to love. And somehow becoming more impressive every single week. This little lady has absolutely earned her spotlight. So let's give it to her. 💗🌸✨ Small frame. Massive flower power. Keep shining, Pink Rosay. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🌸

This one was Baked in Paris by PerfectTreeSeeds, grown with AptusPlantTech only! Check the other weeks to see the ones with GreenPlanetNutrients! Great gassy notes, awesome structure, beautiful colours. I know this one came out a little too early, but I was having problems with humidity and also with smell so I decided to take 'em all out at the same time. Forgot to take pictures of her on the drying screen, will update soon (:

Almost doubled her height this week!!!!!! Growing as well as she can. Getting quite rootbound in the cup. I'm thinking she will enter flowering in the coming week.

Looks like she's getting close! Buds are nicely plump and dense! Plenty of cloudy trichomes. I'm looking for the first amber trichome to harvest. I want this to be uplifting not couch lock.
