Was doing a slurry test and discovered springtails. Prolly have thousands and thousands of them in my coco. Not anymore...CannControl soil drench to the rescue! Saw some fungus gnat larvae crawling around too. Wtf. Hopefully the drench will knock them out too....at least the springtails are gone.

8/26 - sporty looking great, praying hard! Posh is working on it. But look who finally showed up to the party! Iโ€™m calling her Baby spice. She sprouted 12 days after going in the soil. Way to be a fighter girl! This is going to be a tricky thing to manage I feel like my gals are tracking a week apart. Iโ€™ll keep this journalโ€™s timeline on sporty spice. -1 week for posh and -2 weeks for baby spice. spice girls letโ€™s grooooow! 8/30 - exactly two weeks from sprout for Sporty and Posh. Pretty wild how big a difference there is between the two. Baby is getting her footing. Now. Sporty already pushing 4-5 nodes and I saw a tiny root through the drain hole. Wanted to pot her up! About 8 cups pro mix, one cup perlite. About 1.5 tbs of Gaia green 4-4-4, some worm castings and sprinkled mycorrhiza around where the rootball would be. God speed girly! 9/3. Potted up Posh today. About a half gallon pro mix, plus about 1.5 tbsp of the Gaia green 4-4-4. Plus about a cup of worm castings, perlite, and mycorrhiza. Sporty is looking very happy, 5 nodes and counting. Added back my second light, letโ€™s go girls!!! 9/5. Wrapping up week 2 here, so far Iโ€™ve been really impressed with the pro mix Gaia green and soil support so far. The girls seem happy and healthy. See you in week 3!

Trying to keep the conditions steady. The seem to be growing faster, they really like the fertilizer. All 3 have 4 nodes, but the bottom true leaves seem to be dying. Might have been inappropriate ph earlier. Day 25: The plants started to smell, although itโ€™s weak Day 28: The fifth node is developing nicely. I think Iโ€™ll top them soon, maybe except the little one. It doesnโ€™t seem to be growing well so far.

So.... as you guys can see above i HAD to go brutal with this lady applying the "SuperCropping" technique, im not gonna lie that i was very worried since i had stress out the plant just a few day before this with heavy lollipopping and defoliation, but i had no other choice, the plant was still going up, no matter what hahah, she is a REAL BEAST, and it does not matter what i do she still want to be hugging the light hahaha, im FKD, but whatever lets see how this goes!! the recover was super fast, amazing how she just did almost not care at all with all the pinching and breaking of the stems and went right back up!! stay tuned

Nun, die vergangene Woche ist nicht so gut gelaufen....๐Ÿ˜ž Ich bin regelrecht in ein Schnippel-wahn verfallen...๐Ÿ˜ฑ Dann wollte ich ein Fehler mit dem nรคchsten ausgleichen, das Ende vom Lied kann man deutlich sehen. Da wollte ich gleich alles richtig machen doch die Pflanze wurde dabei immer weniger.๐Ÿ˜ญ Das dauert bis die Gute sich davon erholt... Gestern habe ich รผber die verstรผmmelt Triebe noch Tรผtchen gefrimelt, um die Luftfeuchtigkeit um die Triebe herum zu erhรถhen. Und es hat zum Erfolg gefรผhrt! Sie haben sich deutlich innerhalb eines Tages deutlich gestreckt!๐Ÿ˜ƒ Allerdings muss ich alles gut im Auge behalten damit es in den Tรผtchen nicht zu feucht wird, deswegen habe ich heute je ein kleines Belรผftungsloch in die Tรผtchen geschnitten.

๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 13 The Solo Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Solo ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And our girl... She keeps surprising me. Week after week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ Just when I think I've got a pretty good idea of what Candy Rain is going to do... she looks at me and says: "Actually... no." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ More beautiful. More dense. More compact. More flowers. More structure. More of everything. And honestly? I don't think she likes being called our "solo survivor" anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because she's doing everything she possibly can to look like more than one plant. She's filling her space. She's building flowers everywhere. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as simply "the little solo girl." She's one plant... but she's behaving like she's trying to bring a whole fucking team with her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ And I absolutely love it. She's lush. She's green. She's beautiful. She's moving at her own rhythm. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here... watching. Supporting. Providing what she needs. And trying to keep up with whatever the hell she has decided to do next. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So this week... the spotlight belongs to our Candy Rain girl. Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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ฌ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE SOLO SURVIVOR IS REFUSING TO BE SOLO I think we've officially reached the point where the nickname "solo survivor" is becoming misleading. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because yes... technically... there is only one Candy Rain plant. But look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฌ She's filling herself with flowers. She's creating more and more individual flowering structures. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more compact. She's becoming fuller. And every time I look at her, I find another little section that has developed further. It's almost like she's saying: "Okay, maybe I'm alone... but I'm going to make sure nobody notices." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. Not because she's trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's trying to compete. But because she's simply continuing to develop at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ 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 MORE BUDS, MORE DENSITY, MORE CANDY RAIN The biggest thing I'm noticing this week is simply how much more there is to look at. More flowers. More density. More compact structures. More development. More detail. It's one of those plants where you can stand there and think: "Okay... beautiful." Then you look a little closer: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then closer again: "Wait... there's another one there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ That's what she's doing now. She's filling the plant. She's making herself increasingly substantial. And I really like the compact character we're seeing from her. She's not simply stretching everything out. She's developing these beautiful, increasingly dense flowering structures that give the plant a really full appearance. The photographs this week really show that progression. She's not just flowering anymore. She's becoming. And there's a big difference. 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 THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN And then there's the colour. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ She's still giving us that beautiful, lush green appearance. And honestly... I love it. There's something about a healthy-looking green plant that never gets old for me. Especially when you start combining that colour with developing flowers, frost and structure. She has that beautiful contrast. Green foliage. Developing flowers. Resin catching the light. Different textures. Different shades. And all of it coming together into one very pretty girl. She's not trying to turn herself into something else. She's simply being Candy Rain. And Candy Rain is green. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฌ Very, very green. And I like it. 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‘‘ ONE PLANT TRYING TO BECOME MANY This is probably my favourite thing about her right now. She's one plant... but she doesn't look like she wants to behave like one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It's almost as if she's trying to multiply herself through the number of flowering structures she's creating. One girl. Many personalities. Many flowers. Many little places demanding attention. And somehow she keeps making the plant look fuller. It's hilarious. Because I originally called her our solo survivor. Now I'm starting to think she's offended by the word "solo." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's basically saying: "Don't call me alone. Look how many flowers I have." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ Fair enough, girl. Message received. You may technically be one... but you're certainly making enough noise for several. 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 SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER And this is what I really enjoy about following her. She doesn't seem to have reached a point where I think: "Okay, that's it. That's what she's going to be." Every week there's something new. A little more density. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more frost. A little more presence. And suddenly... she looks better again. That's what makes the weekly diary so valuable. If you only saw this girl today, you might simply say: "Beautiful Candy Rain." But because we've been watching her week after week... we can see the journey. We can see the progression. We can see the plant slowly becoming more and more substantial. And I absolutely love that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ 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 GETTING MORE INTERESTING And these photographs? I really like them. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฌ Because we're now at the stage where the individual flowers are starting to tell more of the story. The wider shots show the plant. The closer shots show the structure. And then the really close views... well... that's where you start getting lost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ You see the density. You see the developing resin. You see the flower structures becoming more compact. You see the little details that are easy to miss from across the room. And that's exactly why I love documenting these girls. The plant doesn't change overnight. But when you put the photographs from several weeks together... suddenly you can see just how much has happened. 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 OUR SOLO SURVIVOR HAS CHARACTER She's really become one of the characters of the 8ร—8. And I think that's worth saying. At the beginning, she was simply: "Our solo survivor." Now? She's Candy Rain. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She has her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own colour. Her own way of developing. Her own personality. And I genuinely look forward to seeing what she's doing when I walk into the room. That's when you know a plant has become more than just another plant. You start recognizing her. You start understanding her. You start noticing the little differences. And that's one of the most beautiful things about growing multiple phenotypes. You stop seeing twelve labels. You start seeing twelve personalities. Candy Rain has definitely developed hers. 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 โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY And of course... we come back to one of the foundations of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. ๐Ÿฌโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're still working with the expanded lighting capability at controlled output. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug With around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Candy Rain is receiving those same photons as everybody else. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming dense. She's becoming compact. She's filling her structure. She's becoming more and more beautiful. The photons are the same. The response isn't. And that's the experiment. That's the magic. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. 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 SHINING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us more capability. More flexibility. More available lighting capacity. But we're not simply running everything at maximum just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're watching the plants. And we're letting them tell us their story. Candy Rain is definitely talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ She's saying: "More flowers, please." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And apparently... she's taking the photons and doing exactly that. 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 SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION This is another beautiful example of why I love having these individual diaries. If somebody only followed Candy Rain... they might think: "This is what the room looks like." But it's not. This is what Candy Rain looks like. The room is the constant. The plant is the variable. And that's what makes this entire project so interesting. Some girls are tall. Some are compact. Some are huge. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some are frosty monsters. Some are heavy beasts. Some are elegant. Some are strange. And Candy Rain? She's the beautiful solo girl who's apparently trying to become a whole crowd. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I wouldn't change that. 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‘€ I'M MOSTLY JUST SUPPORTING HER NOW And honestly... there isn't much for me to do. She's doing the work. I'm observing. I'm supporting. I'm providing what she wants. And when she needs something... I respond. That's it. There's no need for me to constantly interfere. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's flowering. She's getting denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. So my job becomes simple. Look. Observe. Listen. Support. And let her grow. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes the smartest thing a grower can do is realize that the plant doesn't need to be "fixed." It just needs to be allowed to continue. And Candy Rain? She's continuing 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ฌ SHE'S MAKING THIS ROUND CRAZY I think this is the best way to describe the current stage. She's giving us a crazy round. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฌ Not because she's trying to break records. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. But because every time I think I've understood her... she gives us another little surprise. More density. More flowers. More compact structure. More beauty. More frost. More green. More personality. And I love it. This is exactly why I don't want to put expectations on these plants. Let them show us. Let them tell us. Let them surprise us. Candy Rain is doing exactly that. 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 FROST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP And yes... the frost is still part of her story. ๐Ÿฌโ„๏ธโœจ As the flowers become more substantial, that resin-covered character becomes more noticeable. You can see it catching the light. You can see it on the developing flowers. And when you combine that with her beautiful green colour... she has a really attractive appearance. She's not just green. She's green with sparkle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’šโœจ And that's a combination I can absolutely get behind. 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 COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN SMALL This is another little observation I really like with her. She's becoming more compact. More dense. More filled. But that doesn't mean she's insignificant. Quite the opposite. The compactness is part of her character. The flowers are becoming substantial within that structure. She's filling the plant instead of simply extending it. And that's what makes her interesting. She's not trying to be the tallest girl in the room. She's trying to be the girl with flowers everywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ And she's succeeding. 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 The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room: 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... we're not creating a completely different world around Candy Rain. She's part of the same room. Same general foundation. Same approach. And then... we observe what she does with it. And what she's doing is beautiful. 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 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains 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 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ 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 THE 8ร—8 EXPERIMENT KEEPS TEACHING US And this is why I keep coming back to the same point. The 8ร—8 isn't about finding one perfect plant. It's about seeing the differences. It's about watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. And Candy Rain is giving us another beautiful example. She's showing us that one plant can have a completely different rhythm from another. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to be the frostiest. She doesn't need to be the most colourful. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing exactly that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’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‘‘ ONE GIRL โ€“ MANY STORIES Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. And now... our girl who's apparently trying to become a whole family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ I love the contradiction. One plant. So many flowers. One root system. So many flowering structures. One girl. So much personality. She's proving that "solo" doesn't necessarily mean lonely. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got plenty going on. And honestly... she looks like she's having a fantastic time doing it. 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 At this point, I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development. ๐Ÿฌ More stacking. ๐Ÿ’š That beautiful lush green colour. โ„๏ธ Continued frost development. ๐ŸŒฟ Increasing density and compactness. ๐Ÿ‘€ Her overall progression. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, documenting every step of the journey. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm not trying to predict exactly where she's going. I'm simply watching. Because right now... the story is beautiful. And she's still writing it. 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”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... more surprises. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ More flowers. More density. More frost. More development. More beautiful green. And probably another week where I walk into the room and say: "Well... you did it again." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That's Candy Rain. She's going to do what Candy Rain wants to do. And my job is simply to give her the opportunity. Provide what she needs. Support her when she asks. And let her 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”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE SOLO GIRL WHO ISN'T ACTING SOLO Week 13. Candy Rain Auto. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ And this girl keeps surprising me. She's becoming more beautiful. More dense. More compact. More full of flowers. More frosty. And somehow... more herself. That's probably what I love most. She's not trying to become another plant. She's not trying to follow somebody else's schedule. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's simply doing Candy Rain things. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ And apparently... Candy Rain things include trying to make one plant look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's lush. She's green. She's compact. She's developing beautiful flowers throughout her structure. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's giving us one hell of a round. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to force her. I'm not going to compare her. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep documenting. And keep enjoying this beautiful girl. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Because sometimes... the solo survivor becomes one of the most memorable plants in the entire room. And I think Candy Rain is doing exactly that. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that beautiful green. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate those compact flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the personality. And let's see just how much more this girl wants to surprise us with. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Candy Rain... you may be one plant... but you're making enough noise for several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Keep doing your thing, girl. Keep stacking. Keep building. Keep shining. Keep being beautifully, stubbornly, wonderfully YOU. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟโœจ 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™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow throughout this adventure. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to remind me that every plant has her own personality. And Candy Rain? She's becoming one of my favourites to watch. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ She started this journey as our solo survivor. Now she's apparently trying to prove that one plant can look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ She's beautiful. She's lush. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. She's developing. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here to support her and give her what she asks for. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when the plant says: "Keep going." We keep going. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š So let's give our girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy this crazy round she's giving us. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's see what Candy Rain decides to show us next. Because if this girl has taught me anything... it's that she's not finished surprising us. Not even close. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the green keeps shining, and our solo survivor continues doing everything she can to prove that one plant... can still make a hell of a lot of noise. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine.

Well today is day 84 and she's just about done.. I flushed her with 3 gallons of water twice in the last week and now I'm just feeding water to a little runoff for another day or two.. I want to point out that this plant smells exactly like blueberry Pop-Tarts.. that is not an exaggeration it is literally the same smell.. I really really hope that that doesn't go away and stays throughout the cure.. hopefully this weather cools down so I can dry it at an appropriate temperature and not lose these precious terpenes that smell so good.. this is my second fast buds grow the first was kosher cake and that was awesome I tried the Afghan Kush but I ended up getting rid of her because of too many mutations and I didn't have the room for plant that wasn't going to grow right.. so two out of three so far have been great I know this flower is going to be awesome.. hope everyone is doing well and happy growing โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Light fluffy bud, but so much of it that weight got up there in the end. Really soft smoke with some earthy textures and tastes. Less sweet smelling than the previous haze but has a lot more earthy, baking smell to it this one.

Alaskan Purple auto is doing good. She had a solution change. I also trimmed out the bottom of the plant today. While doing some selective defoliation in the canopy. She is doing good under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She is stretching now, and should start developing her colas soon.

**Encontrarรกs la traducciรณn a espaรฑol al final de la descripciรณn** From/Desde: 08/03/19 || To/Hasta: 14/03/19 From day/Desde dรญa: 15 || To day/Hasta dรญa: 21 You can find the Gorillas Diary here: ** Podรฉis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquรญ:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: 7 days TimeLapse, +/- 1 image each 180 secs @ 30 fps, you can see how beauty is the dance of this babies and how are they growing. This is a fast timelapse adjusted to 1 minute for instagram, if you want to see the 3:21 min complete video (1fx60s 30fps) it's uploaded on the gorillas diary named abobe. Video 6: An overview video of the babies, moments before i performed the first topping/man-linning/prunning/LST on the biggest gorilla. The other one is recovering at time from those ugly color marks she has on them leaves. As the leaves seems not healthy i decided to not perform the man-lining on this one until it has a pair of healthy main leaves on which i can trust to guide. -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I traveled to Venice this week and i have very few photos, also i returned with a terrible flu, so i'm not going to take too much photos for the next week too, i'm so sorry. The Money Makers are growing healthy and equitative, with very short nodal distances as you can see in photos 4 & 5, i'm not going to perform the same main-lining technique i'm doing with the gorilla, i'm going to test some things. With the Money Makers i'm going to perform something similar to the man lining but with 3 or 4 floors, i'll be twisting the main branch to create a circular horizontal proppagation with 6 or 8 branches. First i will fix the heights of the floors and then i will push them horizontally. Let's see where they go ;). -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.95 E.C. PH5.9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - Used about 25 ml of (200 ml water with 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + and 0.1 ml Foliar Spray) *****ESPAร‘OL***** -----IMรGENES & VรDEOS----- Vรญdeo 1: TimeLapse de 7 dรญas, +/- 1 imagen cada 180 segundos @ 30fps, observad la maravillosa danza de las nenas y cรณmo crecen. Esta es una versiรณn rรกpida de 1 minuto que cree para instagram, si querรฉis ver el vรญdeo completo de 3:21 min (1fx60s 30fps), estรก subido en el diario de las gorilas que nombro en la cabecera de la descripciรณn. Video 7: Un vรญdeo general del armario, estรก grabado momentos antes de realizar las tรฉcnicas de cultivo sobre la mejor de las gorilas. La otra se sigue reponiendo de esas manchas feas que le salieron en las hojas. Ya que las hojas parecen enfermas, he decidido no hacer el man-lining hasta que no tenga un par de hojas saludables en las que poder confiar para hacer el guiado y alimentar los brotes. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Las Money Makers estรกn creciendo sanas y equitativas entre si, con distancias internodales cortas como podรฉis ver en las imรกgenes 4 y 5, no voy a realizar el mismo man-lining que estoy realizando sobre una de las gorilas, pues voy a probar cosas. Con las Money Makers voy a realizar algo similar al man-lining pero respetando 3 o 4 pisos de las plantas, girarรฉ el tallo principal para crear una propagaciรณn horizontal circular de las plantas con 6 u 8 ramas. Primero ajustarรฉ las alturas de los pisos y luego las expandirรฉ horizontalmente. Veamos hacia donde van ;). -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 12/03/19 - 700 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0,95 E.C. PH5,9 12/03/19 - FOLIAR - He usado unos 25 ml de (200 ml de agua con 1ml Pro Active, 2 ml Plant Vitality + y 0,1 ml Foliar Spray)

Suuuper sweet and tropical smell, beautiful fragrance of the buds man! By far the sweetest nuggets I have in my garden currently even more than my bslck cherry punch plants, awesome strain, such a beautiful surprise, I'll grow her more times now that I know her, she's fading out perfectly showing purple on the leafs because of the cold weather, and I'm seeing a lot of yellow leafs,let's see what happens at the end! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Die Black Opium Auto von Divine Seeds macht sich richtig gut im Outdoor bereich, sie trotzt dem wechselhaftes Wetter! Ihre Knospen bildet sie richtig schรถn aus und sie ist jetzt schon ziemlich frostig und riecht ziemlich extrem ๐Ÿ€ In dieser Woche hab ich noch wirklich was an ihr gemacht, ein bisschen entlaubt und ein letztes Mal bekam sie den Phosphor Boost๐Ÿ’š

This brings the Journal up to speed. So going to start the 48 hour FLush this upcoming Sunday as well as going to move it to 48 hours of light insted of 48 hours of darkness. Then straight into the Freeze dryer to bring it down to 60% humidity in the bud and then to the curing jars. Going to be Timber 2 days into Week 9 of FLower. 1/20/2023 Week 8 (Day 5)- Flower- Day 107 overall T - 2 days until start 48 hour Flush T - 2 days until Start 48 hours of Light T - 4 days until TIMBER!!! 1/22/2023 Week 8 (Day 7) -FLower- Day 109 Overall Flush Day and 48 hours of Light. I subscibe to Dr. Bruce Bugbee's suggestion that production is under light instead of under darkness so I no longer do 48 hours of Darkness, I go 48 hours of light before Chop, sending my plants on a marathon run before I Cut. Here is Dr. Bruce on basics of lighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg T-2 days until TIMBER
