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... SHE'S STILL FROSTY 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 resin development continues as well. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฌ She's not finished showing us what she can do. 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 ?

And another beautiful chapter from Candy Rain. 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”ฅ SHE'S ENTERING THAT BEAUTIFUL "JUST WATCH" PHASE 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 think that's the best way to describe where we are now. 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. And most importantly... keep being you. Because whatever you're doing... it's working beautifully. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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 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 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. 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, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who stops by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Candy Rain? You're getting louder. You're getting bigger. You're stacking. You're changing. You're becoming more beautiful every week. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ You started this adventure as our solo survivor. Now? You're one of the girls that I genuinely look forward to seeing every time I walk into the room. And that's something special. So this week... the spotlight belongs to you. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep enjoying the journey. And let's let this beautiful girl continue moving at her own rhythm. No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary interference. Just observation... support... and appreciation. Because sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is simply stand back and say: "She's got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ And Candy Rain? I think she's got this. Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the flowers keep stacking, the colours keep changing, the photons keep flying, and our solo survivor keeps getting louder and louder and louder. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine.

A peg from a tent, nailed a plant laid on a shovel to the ground marking the victory of man over nature the former gum has set the next floor in a plane to the previous one. As a result, we have 4 floors practically in a single plane. I removed the first two sheets and two thirds of the leading escape of the 2nd pair, I plan in this position to release up the main trunk

Non riesco piรน ad aggiornare il diario come sempre comunque รจ stata una settimana bellissima! Ogni varietร  sta completando le fioritura in maniera abbondante. Infiorescenze dure e molto resinose si formano in ogni parte delle piante. Sembrano tutte XXL di dimensioni! Molto profumate ogni varietร  ha il suo raffinato aroma, non manca molto alla fase finale della fioritura. Sono felice di ogni varietร , complimenti a chi le ha create! Un abbraccio a tutti

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y tambiรฉn a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ Bien, bien, esta cepa va muy bien, siete semanas de vida y uno desde el paso a floraciรณn, buen consumo de agua y compactaciรณn, gran fortaleza en tallo y ramas, todas las cepas sativas que cultivo esta temporada me parecen que crecen lento, pero queda mucho por delante.๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ•บ Para combatir el gran aumento de la humedad relativa y la apariciรณn de hongos, en el periodo de oscuridad estoy reuniendo los once cultivos actuales en una habitaciรณn con un des-humificador, manteniendo una humedad relativa durante ese periodo, alrededor del 55-60%. Maรฑana voy a hacer una aplicaciรณn foliar con azufre soluble para las plantas jรณvenes, y para otras dos que tengo comenzando la floraciรณn voy a aplicar cola de caballo foliar, para prevenir oรญdio con ambos productos. Tambiรฉn, esta semana de dรญas muy nublados, mantengo todas las plantas con 12h de luz interior, si vuelven dรญas soleados, volverรฉ a sacar mis plantas un par de horas a tomar, la gratuita e inimitable luz de sol. โ€ข DATOS: ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš–๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Cultivo clandestino de marihuana en el norte de Espaรฑa ๐ŸŒผ Maceta air-pot de 6l. ๐ŸŒ Sustrato personalizado con minerales y etc... ver la composiciรณn en la cuarta semana de este diario. ๐Ÿ’ก Luces ViparSpectra P1000 al 60% de potencia a una distancia media de 15cm. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’ก Horario mixto: 10h en interior y 10h en exterior. ๐Ÿ  Carpa de cultivo compartida con otras 4 plantas sativa: 60x60x140cm. ๐Ÿฅ— Nutriciรณn soluble 3M, hecha en casa con Materia orgรกnica, Minerales y Microbiologรญa. ========================= โ€ข CON TU PERMISO, ME REBELO... ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ En el jardรญn mojado por la lluvia Sin Gurรบ, sin Mรฉtodo, sin Maestro Solo tรบ y yo, la naturaleza y el espรญritu santo Sin Gurรบ, sin Mรฉtodo, sin Maestro Sรฉptima semana desde que comencรฉ la nueva temporada de cultivos, despuรฉs de un breve descanso, una semana donde me cuestiono, una vez mรกs, el sentido de estos diarios semanales en GD... Despuรฉs de mรกs de dos aรฑos publicando mis cultivos orgรกnicos, aprendiendo, compartiendo, incansable, conocimiento, fรณrmulas y tรฉcnicas, escribiendo desde la emociรณn y la euforia del eterno aprendiz, sin apologรญa, intentando al tiempo, amenizar con mis anti hรฉroes y memes, perdedores que han tenido la oportunidad de expresarse con libertad, tal vez, porque yo soy uno de ellos, o todos! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€... todo bien! ha sido divertido y me ha permitido estructurar mejor mi experiencia... pero estoy cansado!! La deriva que observo en GD no me gusta, el esfuerzo gozado antes, se ha convertido poco a poco, para mi, en vano y fรบtil, yo he buscado el conocimiento y compartirlo... ยฟHay alguien ahรญ?, he mantenido la independencia frente la industria del fertilizante soluble, orgรกnico o de sรญntesis quรญmica, y sus tablas predeterminadas de nutriciรณn, me he resistido a algunos patrocinios... porque, algunos, piden mรกs de lo que dan!๐Ÿ˜ฏ y ahora me encuentro como Simรณn en el desierto, pero, aun asรญ, prefiero mantener mis diarios de cultivo limpios y libres de polvo y paja... ser o tener!! Hay una tendencia, o mejor, carrera por los "me gusta", en la que yo tambiรฉn he participado, que mayormente estรก relacionado con los patrocinios, y tambiรฉn con aquellos, que a falta de otras cosas, quieren ganarse el cielo en GD... ยฟCuรกntos gurรบs habrรก el mes que viene?... y el prรณximo? Habitualmente, recibo "me gusta" de desconocidos, a viejos comentarios de aquรญ y de allรก, tambiรฉn mensajes amables en mis diarios de cultivo, pero serializados la mayorรญa, obviando cualquier contexto... todos a la espera de reciprocidad, y asรญ me he comportado hasta ahora con este asunto, pero observo que esto lleva a una pรฉrdida de autenticidad y hasta una perversiรณn del sistema, porque creo que el interรฉs ya no pasa por los diarios de cultivo. Yo por mi parte, no voy a devolver ningรบn "me gusta" descontextualizado o sistematizado, sea en mis diarios o fuera de ellos, agradezco y animo la comunicaciรณn entre cultivadores, y yo estoy siempre abierto, con entusiasmo, a compartir mi experiencia con quien lo desee. En cuanto a mis diarios de cultivo, voy a ser mas crรญptico, a ver si consigo rescatar algo de tiempo y energรญa para hacer otras cosas y acabar los diarios de cultivo en curso. Esto es todo por hoy... SALUD CULTIVADORES!! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒž ================================= ๐Ÿ™„โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿค›๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘‡โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿป =================================

Der vegetative Zuwachs in dieser Woche ist enorm, doch die Triple Mints XXL Feminised geht ihren ganz eigenen, wilden Weg. Durch den natรผrlich gespaltenen Hauptstamm wachsen die neuen Triebe aktuell ziemlich ungezรคhmt und dicht in alle Richtungen. In den nรคchsten Tagen werde ich mir die Struktur nochmals genau vornehmen und final zurechtschneiden, um fรผr Ordnung und Lichtverteilung zu sorgen โ€“ damit sie sauber vorbereitet ist, wenn der Switch auf 12/12 ansteht! ๐ŸŒฟโœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿš€

Hello Sisters and Brothers. After 3 irrigations with water and atazyme. Today I have watered with the mixture of spirulina, Peruvian maca, brewer's yeast and bio molasses. I added 1 l of banana tea to the mix. in total 8 liters hosmotic water + 1 liter mixture + 1 liter of banana tea. the difference of varieties and fenotipes, is noted by the different hights of the plants. They oscillate between 130cm and 60cm. Thank everybody

03/18/2022 I have not shown the third clone as much because of training I will start with her this week. Did some wiring wrap around on two branches, and stem cracked, super cropped third branch. ( I ran out of wire had to improvise) I got one clone for this girl starting! All Girls update I will post pics on day 2. Tomorrow๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป Ps. I fed (watered) with molasses, and aloe gel fresh squeezed by me.and organic grown (by me) One tbls (14.787ml) of each in two gallon jug(7.571l) also I layered coast of Maine 5-2-4 one teaspoon per layer one on top as well. I like the extra potassium in this blend as plants can absorb and store more potassium and save for later use (flowering) . 03/20/2022 Here are flowering girls
