DogDoctorOfficial # Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B π±πΈπ·
## Germination Week | Another Story Begins
Hello GrowDiaries family! ππ±
Welcome to another new journey.
As some of you may have noticed, I've recently adjusted the way I document my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters.
This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development while selecting the best photographs from each week and keeping everything organized from seed to harvest.
The goal remains exactly the same as always:
To create an honest, educational, and complete record while sharing observations, successes, lessons learned, and everything in between.
Today, we begin following Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B.
A sister to the previous phenotype, sharing the same genetic foundation while carrying her own unique potential and personality.
---
## Same Genetics, Different Possibilities
One of the reasons I enjoy documenting phenotypes individually is because plants have a remarkable way of surprising us.
Two seeds from the same pack.
The same environment.
The same soil.
The same water.
The same grower.
And yet they often develop into noticeably different individuals.
That is one of the most fascinating parts of cultivation.
At this stage both sisters are beginning life in very similar ways.
Healthy.
Vigorous.
Strong.
But every phenotype eventually starts writing its own story.
And that story is what we're here to document.
For this run, we're following Pink Rosay Auto from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life.
A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time.
Throughout this diary, I'll explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end.
---
## Germination Using the Cannakan System
To begin this run, I once again used the Cannakan germination system.
For organizational purposes, the autoflower section of the project was germinated using my second Cannakan unit, while the photoperiod section used the first.
The methodology itself remained exactly the same.
Simple.
Organized.
Reliable.
The seed was placed inside using only plain water.
No nutrients.
No additives.
No stimulants.
Just water.
Within approximately 24 hours a healthy taproot had emerged and the seed was ready for planting.
Exactly what we hope to see from healthy genetics.
---
## Why Only Water?
One question that often appears during germination is:
"Why not feed the seed immediately?"
The answer remains simple.
The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of life.
Inside that shell are the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin development.
At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural reserves exactly as intended.
The objective is not to feed the plant.
The objective is simply to wake it up.
Water is enough.
Nature already prepared the rest.
---
## Coco Starter Plugs
Like the rest of this project, the seed began life inside a coco starter plug.
The plug was fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability.
Once germinated, the seed was carefully inserted into the plug and placed inside a humidity dome.
The dome remained useful for only a short period.
Within less than 24 hours the seedling had already emerged and was ready for the next step.
At that point, she was transplanted directly into a small container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
---
## Environmental Conditions
Environmental conditions remained intentionally simple and stable.
Temperatures stayed around 26β27Β°C.
Humidity was maintained between approximately 65β70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier.
Rather than keeping seedlings inside extremely humid conditions for extended periods, I prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle.
The objective is adaptation.
Not dependence.
Airflow remained extremely gentle.
Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress.
---
## Lighting
Lighting during germination remained intentionally soft.
Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels at this stage.
The goal is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth.
Once properly established, this girl will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of development begins.
For now, healthy roots and healthy growth remain the priorities.
---
## First Observations
Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far.
Fast germination.
Healthy taproot.
Strong emergence.
Healthy color.
Good vigor.
And perhaps most importantly:
A healthy beginning.
At this stage every seedling remains an unwritten chapter waiting to reveal itself.
And that mystery is one of the things that keeps cultivation endlessly fascinating.
---
## Looking Ahead
Over the coming weeks we'll follow Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B through every stage of development.
We'll document:
- Root establishment
- Early growth
- Environmental management
- Watering practices
- Structural development
- Flowering progression
- And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal
Because every seed deserves the opportunity to tell its own story.
Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along for another seed-to-harvest adventure.

DogDoctorOfficial Pink Rozay Auto β Pheno B π±πΈ
Week 1 Vegetation | Quiet Confidence
Hello GrowDiaries family! ππ±
Welcome back for another Pink Rozay update.
This week weβre following Pheno B, and while her sister attracted attention with a small leaf curiosity, this girl spent the week doing something growers often appreciate even more:
Being consistently healthy.
Sometimes the loudest statement a young plant can make is simply growing exactly as she should.
And thatβs exactly what Pink Rozay Pheno B delivered throughout her first week of life.
βΈ»
A Calm and Steady Beginning
Like the rest of this project, Pink Rozay Pheno B was transplanted directly into her final container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
The objective remains simple:
Allow unrestricted root development from the very beginning while avoiding future transplant stress.
Environmental conditions remained identical across the garden:
π‘οΈ Day temperature: 27Β°C
π Night temperature: 25Β°C
π§ Relative humidity: 55%
β‘ 12/12 from seed
π± Plagron nutrient program
π‘ Future Of Grow Black Series LED lighting
π¨ Gentle airflow and stable environmental control
The result was exactly what we hope to see from a young seedling.
Steady growth.
Healthy color.
Strong development.
βΈ»
Building Structure Early
One of the first things that stands out when looking through the progression photos is how quickly this plant began establishing a balanced structure.
From the earliest photographs, the growth pattern appears organized and symmetrical.
The stem remains upright and strong.
The leaves expand evenly.
New growth develops consistently from the center.
And each day brings visible progress.
There are no dramatic swings.
No stalls.
No hesitation.
Just a plant quietly doing everything right.
βΈ»
Looking Closer
The macro photographs provide one of the most enjoyable parts of this weekβs update.
When viewed up close, the newest growth appears incredibly healthy.
The developing leaves show excellent texture and structure.
The emerging growth tip looks vigorous and active.
Every close-up reveals another layer of development that can easily be missed when viewing the plant from above.
These tiny details often tell us more about plant health than overall size ever could.
And everything here points toward a seedling that is establishing itself beautifully.
βΈ»
A Phenotype in a Hurry
As the week progresses, one thing becomes increasingly obvious:
This girl seems eager to grow.
By the final photographs, she is already producing noticeably larger leaves and a more developed structure than many seedlings would show at the same age.
The canopy is widening.
The leaf size is increasing rapidly.
The growth tip remains active and vigorous.
And the plant appears determined to keep pushing forward.
Much like some of the other autos in this run, there is a sense that the clock is already ticking and she intends to make every day count.
Autos often have that personality.
They know they have limited time.
And they rarely waste it.
βΈ»
Symmetry and Balance
The overhead photographs are particularly satisfying this week.
Leaf spacing remains balanced.
Growth remains symmetrical.
The overall structure appears clean and organized.
These early traits do not guarantee future performance, of course, but they often provide encouraging clues.
At this stage, Pink Rozay Pheno B is displaying many of the characteristics growers like to see in a vigorous young auto.
Healthy roots.
Healthy leaves.
Strong upward growth.
And excellent overall balance.
βΈ»
A Strong First Week
Looking back through the entire progression, this was simply a very successful start.
Healthy emergence.
Strong vigor.
Excellent color.
Balanced structure.
Beautiful leaf development.
And a plant that appears eager to continue accelerating into the next stage of growth.
Not every update needs a dramatic story.
Sometimes the story is simply that everything is working exactly as intended.
And honestly, those are often the best weeks.
βΈ»
Looking Ahead
As we move into the coming weeks, Iβll be watching closely for:
π± Continued canopy expansion
π± Structural development
π± Growth rate compared with her sister
π± Early signs of phenotype-specific traits
π± The overall behavior of this fast-moving auto
Because while Pink Rozay Pheno B has been quietly going about her business so far, she is already showing signs of becoming a very interesting plant.
For now, she looks healthy, balanced, vigorous, and ready for the next stage of the journey.
And thatβs exactly what we hope to see at the end of Week 1.
Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure.

DogDoctorOfficial Pink Rosay Auto β Pheno B | Week 2 Vegetation
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of the 12/12 From Seed adventure.
This update belongs to Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B, a plant whose journey has already become one of the most satisfying stories in the tent.
Sometimes the most memorable plants are not the ones that start perfectly.
Sometimes theyβre the ones that remind us how resilient cannabis can be when given patience, stability, and time.
Just one week ago, this phenotype was facing a much more uncertain future. Early growth irregularities raised questions about how she would develop and whether she would be able to keep pace with her sisters.
Fast forward to today, and the answer is becoming increasingly clear.
She had absolutely no intention of giving up.
In fact, she seems determined to prove everyone wrong.
βΈ»
The first thing that stands out this week is the dramatic increase in vigor.
New growth is emerging rapidly from the center of the canopy, creating a compact but energetic structure that appears noticeably stronger than it did only a few days ago.
The growing tip is active.
The leaves are expanding confidently.
And every new node is arriving with more consistency than the last.
The transformation has been remarkable.
What once looked like a struggling seedling now looks like a healthy young plant fully committed to vegetative development.
βΈ»
Looking from above, the canopy displays excellent symmetry.
Leaf placement is balanced, spacing remains tight, and the plant is stacking growth exactly where you want to see it during this stage of development.
Internodal distance remains compact, creating a sturdy framework that should provide strong support as flowering approaches.
Rather than stretching upward, Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B is focusing on building a dense and efficient structure.
This often becomes a very desirable trait later in the cycle, particularly in a 12/12-from-seed environment where every node matters.
βΈ»
The foliage itself looks healthy and vibrant.
Coloration remains uniform throughout the plant, with newer growth displaying the bright green tones associated with active development while older leaves maintain a rich and healthy appearance.
Most importantly, the plant is now directing energy toward expansion rather than recovery.
That distinction matters.
Recovery plants survive.
Growing plants thrive.
And this phenotype has clearly crossed that line.
βΈ»
One of the most encouraging observations this week is the confidence of the new growth.
The newest leaves are emerging cleanly, unfolding properly, and showing increasing vigor with every passing day.
When a plant begins producing strong, healthy growth at the center, it often indicates that the root zone is functioning well and that the plant has adapted successfully to its environment.
Everything visible above the soil suggests that exactly that process is taking place.
βΈ»
Current nutrition remains unchanged:
β’ Plagron Terra Grow β 1.8 ml/L
β’ Plagron Power Roots β 1 ml/L
β’ Plagron Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
β’ Plagron Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
The response has been excellent.
No signs of nutrient stress are visible.
No significant discoloration is present.
Growth remains steady and predictable.
The plant appears comfortable, healthy, and increasingly confident within the feeding program.
βΈ»
Environmental conditions throughout the week remained stable:
β’ 12/12 lighting schedule from seed
β’ Day temperatures around 27Β°C
β’ Night temperatures around 25Β°C
β’ Relative humidity around 55%
β’ COβ approximately 600 ppm
β’ Solution temperature around 21Β°C
β’ Substrate temperature around 21Β°C
Consistency is often the most powerful tool a grower has, and Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B serves as a perfect example of why.
The plant wasnβt forced.
She wasnβt pushed.
She was simply given the right conditions and the time needed to respond.
And she did.
βΈ»
Looking ahead, the goal remains straightforward.
Continue supporting root development.
Maintain stable environmental conditions.
Allow the canopy to expand naturally.
And keep documenting what is quickly becoming one of the most satisfying comeback stories in the project.
Because make no mistake:
This isnβt a plant hanging on.
This is a plant charging forward.
Week 2 closes with Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B looking healthy, vigorous, and increasingly eager to show what sheβs capable of.
A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to everyone following this journey from seed to harvest.
Until next week, growers love and happy growing everyone. π±π

Week 2 β Small Frame, Big Potential
Welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ8 Adventure, where every phenotype tells its own story and every plant has the opportunity to reveal its unique character.
This week weβre following Pink Rosay Auto 09B, and while she shares the same genetics as her sister, sheβs already proving that siblings can have completely different personalities.
Where Pheno A immediately stretched her branches outward, Pheno B has chosen another path.
Compact.
Dense.
Strong.
Every day she seems to reinforce her structure before adding more height, creating the impression of a little powerhouse preparing for something much bigger.
Sometimes the quietest plants become the biggest surprises.
βΈ»
πΏ Growing Conditions
Pink Rosay B continues growing alongside the rest of the project under identical environmental conditions, ensuring each phenotype can express its natural characteristics.
Environmental Conditions
* π‘οΈ Day Temperature: 27Β°C
* π Night Temperature: 25Β°C
* π§ Relative Humidity: 55%
* π± Root Zone Temperature: 21Β°C
* π¦ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20Β°C
* β‘ EC: 1.3
* pH: 6.0
* π¨ COβ: 666 ppm
* π‘ Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed
* ? Pot Size: 15 Litres
The stable environment continues providing excellent conditions for vigorous root expansion and healthy vegetative growth.
βΈ»
πΏ Feeding Program
Pink Rosay B received the same balanced Plagron Terra feeding schedule throughout the week.
Weekly Feeding
* Terra Grow β 1.8 ml/L
* Power Roots β 1 ml/L
* Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
* Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
* pH Plus β when required
* Lemon Kick β when required
The focus remains on developing a strong root system while supporting healthy vegetative growth before flowering begins in earnest.
βΈ»
π± Plant Development
This phenotype has been a pleasure to watch.
Rather than racing upward, she has concentrated on building a compact, incredibly symmetrical framework.
The internodal spacing is noticeably tighter than her sisterβs, giving the plant a dense appearance with very little wasted space.
Every new node emerges neatly stacked above the last, while the stem continues to gain thickness and strength.
Her fan leaves are broad, beautifully coloured and remain perfectly turgid, indicating that both the roots and overall plant health are progressing exceptionally well.
Despite her more compact stature, growth has been anything but slow.
Each day reveals another layer of healthy new growth hidden beneath the canopy, quietly preparing for the weeks ahead.
She may be smaller today, but she certainly doesnβt feel behind.
She simply has her own strategy.
βΈ»
πΏ Training Progress
This week focused on gentle canopy management while allowing the plant to maintain its naturally compact structure.
Leaf tucking became increasingly important as the dense foliage began shading the developing secondary branches beneath the canopy.
Small adjustments throughout the week allowed light to penetrate deeper into the plant without causing unnecessary stress.
One particularly encouraging observation has been her response to training.
Although naturally tighter than her sister, every adjustment quickly resulted in fresh vertical growth from the lower branches.
Rather than resisting the training, she appears to be steadily building a beautifully balanced canopy that should become increasingly productive as flowering progresses.
Patience with this phenotype feels like itβs going to pay off.
βΈ»
πΈ Behind This Weekβs Photos
The photographs tell the story of a phenotype that prefers quality over speed.
Early overhead shots reveal a compact young plant with outstanding symmetry and broad, healthy fan leaves radiating evenly around the stem.
As the week progresses, the canopy fills in noticeably while maintaining its tight structure.
The close-up images beautifully showcase vigorous new growth emerging from every node, with fresh shoots pushing confidently toward the light despite the naturally dense foliage.
The side profile highlights a thickening main stem supporting an increasingly complex canopy, while the final macro photographs capture the first signs of a plant preparing to transition into its next stage of development.
Every image reinforces the same impression.
Compact.
Healthy.
Confident.
βΈ»
πΈ Looking Ahead
The next week should be particularly interesting.
As the lower branches continue catching up beneath the canopy, I expect this compact structure to gradually transform into a dense, evenly distributed crown of flowering sites.
Her naturally tight internodes may ultimately become one of her greatest strengths, potentially allowing her to produce an incredibly uniform canopy filled with closely stacked buds.
Sheβs developing at her own pace.
And right now, that pace looks extremely promising.
βΈ»
π Thank You
Thank you for following another week of this incredible journey.

DogDoctorOfficial πΉ Pink Rozay Auto B - Week 4 | Early Flowers, Big Dreams πΉ
Some plants quietly follow the rhythm of the room.
Others decide to write their own timeline.
Pink Rozay Auto B is proving to be one of those special girls.
While the entire 8Γ8 Adventure is progressing beautifully under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, she and her sister have clearly decided they arenβt waiting for anyone. Both have entered flowering noticeably earlier than many of their neighbors, already stacking fresh white pistils and showing that unmistakable transition from vegetative growth into reproductive mode.
Whether theyβll ultimately finish well ahead of the others or simply settle back into the groupβs pace remains to be seenβbut thatβs exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Every day brings another lesson.
This diary is another chapter in documenting that unique journey.
βΈ»
π± Life Inside the 8Γ8 Adventure
The room continues to evolve into exactly what I hoped this experiment would become.
Multiple cultivarsβ¦
Multiple phenotypesβ¦
One environmentβ¦
β¦all responding in their own completely unique ways despite receiving identical treatment.
Watching these differences emerge is one of the greatest rewards of this project.
Pink Rozay Auto B isnβt the tallest plant in the room, nor the widest, but she carries herself with incredible confidence. Every day the structure becomes a little more refined, with new flower sites appearing throughout the canopy while maintaining a compact and manageable shape.
She may not demand attentionβ¦
β¦but she certainly earns it.
βΈ»
πΏ Gentle Training, Better Light
Training continues to be extremely light and intentional.
Rather than forcing the plant into unnatural shapes, Iβm simply guiding her architecture little by little.
Low Stress Training continues to spread the branches outward while preserving the natural growth momentum.
Combined with regular leaf tucking, more light now reaches the lower developing shoots without removing healthy foliage unnecessarily.
Itβs amazing how much difference simply moving a few leaves can make.
Every exposed node becomes another opportunity for a future flower site, helping create a more balanced canopy while allowing airflow to penetrate deeper into the plant.
Sometimes the smallest adjustments deliver the biggest results.
βΈ»
πΈ Racing Into Flower
One thing is becoming increasingly obvious.
Pink Rozay Auto B is moving.
Fast.
The top flowers are already producing beautiful clusters of bright white pistils, and several lower branches have joined the race as well.
Compared with many of the surrounding plants, sheβs clearly a step ahead in flower initiation.
Whether this means sheβll ultimately finish earlier or simply started blooming sooner is impossible to know at this stageβbut thatβs part of the excitement of documenting every single week.
Nature always has the final word.
βΈ»
π‘οΈ Summer Challenges Continue
Summer growing always keeps us humble.
Even with the air conditioning working around the clock, keeping temperatures under complete control during the hottest days remains one of the biggest daily challenges.
This week the environment averaged:
β’ π‘οΈ Day Temperature: 33Β°C
β’ π Night Temperature: 25Β°C
β’ π§ Relative Humidity: 63%
β’ π± Root Zone Temperature: 21Β°C
β’ π¦ Nutrient Solution: 26Β°C
β’ β‘ EC: 1.35 mS/cm
β’ pH: 6.1
β’ πΏ COβ: 639 ppm
Considering the outside temperatures, Iβm genuinely pleased with how stable the room has remained.
The plants certainly donβt seem to mind.
Healthy color, vigorous growth and strong turgor continue to suggest theyβre adapting very well.
βΈ»
Feeding Program
This week the feeding schedule remained simple and consistent using the Plagron Terra line:
β’ Terra Grow β 1.8 ml/L
β’ Power Roots β 1 ml/L
β’ Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
β’ Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
The combination continues to promote vigorous vegetative growth while providing plenty of support as flowering begins.
No need to complicate things.
Healthy roots continue to build healthy flowers.
βΈ»
π¬ Looking Forward
Over the coming week Iβll continue monitoring her carefully.
If she keeps flowering at this pace, she could become one of the earliest finishers inside the entire 8Γ8 Adventure.
Orβ¦
She might simply be an early bloomer before settling into the same finishing window as everyone else.
Either outcome is exciting.
Thatβs exactly why I love running multiple genetics togetherβevery phenotype tells its own story.
Pink Rozay Auto B has definitely captured my attention.
Now itβs her turn to show us what sheβs truly capable of.
βΈ»
π Thank You
As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure.
Every like, every comment, every question and every bit of encouragement makes these journals even more enjoyable to create.
A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can share knowledge and learn together.
Massive appreciation as well to Plagron for supplying the nutrition driving this entire run, and to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this project possible.
Finallyβ¦
Thank you to everyone following the entire 8Γ8 Adventure from seed to harvest.
Every week brings us one step closer, and I canβt wait to see where Pink Rozay Auto B decides to take us next.
Growers Love and happy growing! π±π

DogDoctorOfficial πΈ Week 5 β Pink Rosay Auto (Pheno B)
Compact by Nature, Beautiful by Choice
Every grow tells a different story.
Although this Pink Rosay shares exactly the same genetics, soil, environment, lighting, feeding schedule, and growing technique as her sister, she has chosen a completely different path. That is one of the most fascinating aspects of growing from seed: every phenotype expresses its own personality.
Just like the rest of this project, she began life under a strict 12/12 light schedule from the very first day. No vegetative period, no transplant delays, and no opportunity to build weeks of structural growth before flowering. Every decision she has made has happened under flowering conditions, making her development a true reflection of her own genetic expression.
Unlike her taller sister, this little lady has remained incredibly compact from the very beginning. Rather than investing her energy into vertical growth, she has concentrated on building a thick central structure with tight internodal spacing and a dense canopy that looks incredibly healthy.
Sometimes bigger simply isnβt the goal.
βΈ»
π± Plant Development
During the past week she has fully committed herself to flowering.
The stretch has been very modest, reaching only around 50 cm, yet every internode is now producing healthy clusters of fresh white pistils. Bud sites are appearing from top to bottom, and despite her small stature, there are far more flowering points than first impressions might suggest.
Her structure reminds me of a classic compact indica expressionβshort, sturdy and incredibly efficient.
One thing I enjoy seeing is how uniform the canopy remains. Instead of one dominant leader racing ahead, most of the branches have stayed within a comfortable working height, creating a very balanced plant that should be easy to manage throughout bloom.
She may never become the tallest plant in the room, but she certainly doesnβt look like she intends to waste any energy.
βΈ»
πΏ Environment & Growing Conditions
The environment remained exactly the same as for the rest of the Project Blue Tent.
* 12/12 light cycle from seed
* Future of Grow Black Series LED providing approximately 850 PPFD
* Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow
* Temperature around 31Β°C during lights on
* Relative humidity averaging 72%
* COβ around 639 ppm
These warm conditions have encouraged extremely rapid flower initiation across the entire room, and this Pink Rosay is no exception. Even though her stretch has been minimal, she has transitioned into flower without hesitation.
βΈ»
π§ Feeding Program
Like the other hand-watered plants in this project, she is growing in Plagron Lightmix inside a 15 L container and is not connected to the AutoPot system.
She received approximately 0.9 litres of nutrient solution per watering, allowing complete control over moisture levels while encouraging strong root development.
This weekβs feeding consisted of:
β’ Terra Grow β 1.8 ml/L
β’ Terra Bloom β 1.9 ml/L
β’ Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
β’ Power Roots β 1 ml/L
β’ Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
β’ Power Buds β 1 ml/L
The nutrient balance has kept the foliage beautifully green, healthy and vibrant. Leaf colour remains deep without showing signs of nutrient excess, while new flowering growth continues to appear every day.
βΈ»
πΈ Phenotype Notes
This phenotype perfectly demonstrates why I enjoy growing multiple plants of the same variety.
If someone only grew this Pink Rosay, they might assume the strain is naturally compact.
If they only grew Pheno A, they might believe it stretches aggressively.
Neither conclusion would be completely accurate.
Theyβre simply expressing different combinations of the same genetic potential.
Thatβs one of the reasons I always enjoy documenting every individual plant rather than judging a strain based on a single example. Every phenotype has something unique to teach us.
At the moment, this little lady seems determined to trade size for efficiency, and honestly, Iβm perfectly happy to let her do exactly that.
βΈ»
π Looking Ahead
The coming weeks should reveal her true potential.
Now that flowering has fully begun, I expect most of her remaining energy to shift away from vertical growth and into building flower mass. Her tight internodal spacing could become a real advantage later on, producing dense, well-stacked colas with very little wasted stem.
Iβll continue following the Plagron feeding schedule, monitor her closely, and only make adjustments if she tells me she needs them.
Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us the most once harvest day finally arrives.
βΈ»
π Final Thoughts
This week reminded me that successful growing isnβt about forcing every plant to fit the same mould.
Some plants stretch.
Some stay compact.
Some become giants.
Others remain small but reward us with exceptional quality.
So far, this Pink Rosay has shown excellent health, beautiful leaf colour, vigorous flower development and a calm, balanced growth pattern. She may not dominate the room in size, but she certainly deserves her place in this project.
Iβm genuinely excited to see what this compact little phenotype has been quietly preparing behind all those healthy green leaves.
A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these fantastic genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries.
Your support, encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make this adventure even more rewarding.
The flowers have arrived.
Now the real magic begins.
Growers Love and happy growing! π±π

DogDoctorOfficial πΈ Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 6 (Early Flower)
π± Small in Size, Huge in Character
Not every plant dreams of touching the ceiling.
Some choose a different path.
While her sister reached upward with remarkable speed, this little Pink Rosay has quietly remained true to herself, growing into one of the most compact plants inside the entire Project Blue Tent.
At first glance, some growers might overlook her.
I certainly won't.
Sometimes the smallest plant ends up telling the biggest story.
Running under my ongoing 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has spent her entire life making every decision beneath flowering hours. Instead of investing energy into vertical growth, she has poured everything into building a sturdy framework filled with healthy branches, tight internodes, and an abundance of developing flower sites.
She's proof that size has never been the only measure of success.
πΈ Week 6 β Every Flower Has Its Place
This week her flowering really began to shine.
Those brilliant white pistils are everywhere.
Every branch is crowned with fresh clusters that seem to grow larger each day, creating dozens of little stars scattered throughout the canopy. These delicate white hairs are the plant's first invitation to reproduction, reaching outward in search of pollen in nature. Indoors, without pollination, they become the foundation upon which each flower will continue to build.
Watching them emerge is always one of my favourite stages.
It's the moment when potential becomes visible.
The buds are still young, but they already carry that wonderful promise of everything that's still to come.
πΏ Structure & Growth
Standing at approximately 55 cm, Pink Rosay remains the smallest plant in the tent.
Yet nothing about her feels underdeveloped.
Quite the opposite.
Her compact architecture has produced incredibly tight node spacing, allowing flower sites to form almost one above another. Instead of long stretches between branches, nearly every centimetre of stem contributes to future flower production.
Gentle Low Stress Training has opened the canopy just enough for light to reach deep into the plant while maintaining her naturally balanced form.
She isn't trying to become the tallest.
She's simply becoming herself.
π Plant Health
Health continues to be absolutely exceptional.
The foliage displays a rich emerald-green colour from top to bottom, with beautiful leaf posture and excellent turgor throughout the plant.
There are no signs of nutrient stress, deficiencies or excesses.
Everything looks relaxed.
Comfortable.
Balanced.
Even with rapid flower formation underway, she continues producing vigorous new growth while maintaining the kind of healthy appearance every grower hopes to see when opening the tent each morning.
Sometimes perfect health is quiet.
This plant is a wonderful example of that.
π§ Hand Watering & Nutrition
Like her sister, Pink Rosay continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system, allowing close daily observation and precise control over her feeding.
Current feeding:
β’ Terra Bloom β 1.9 ml/L
β’ Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
β’ Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
β’ Power Buds β 1 ml/L
β’ Green Sensation β 1 ml/L
Maintaining:
β’ EC: 1.78 mS/cm
β’ pH: 6.0
She's responding beautifully, maintaining outstanding colour and steady flower development without asking for anything more than consistency.
π‘οΈ Environment
The environment remains stable, allowing every phenotype to express its own personality without unnecessary stress.
Current conditions:
β’ Day temperature: 29Β°C
β’ Night temperature: 25Β°C
β’ Relative humidity: 60%
β’ Solution temperature: 21Β°C
β’ Root zone temperature: 21Β°C
β’ COβ: approximately 639 ppm
Even during the warmer summer days, the room continues providing the consistency that allows healthy genetics to perform at their best.
πΌ A Lesson in Phenotypes
One of my favourite parts of growing multiple plants from the same strain is watching nature write different stories from the same genetic book.
If I had only grown this Pink Rosay, I might describe the variety as naturally compact.
If I had only grown her sister, I might say she stretches enthusiastically.
Both observations would be true.
Neither would tell the whole story.
That's the beauty of phenotypes.
Every seed carries the same family name, but each one develops its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing those shared genetics.
This little lady reminds me that sometimes the quietest plants have the most interesting stories to tell.
π Looking Ahead
With the stretch now largely behind her, the next few weeks should be all about building flowers.
Her incredibly tight node spacing could become one of her greatest strengths, allowing individual flower sites to merge into dense, beautifully stacked colas.
She may never be the largest harvest in the room.
But I have a feeling she'll produce something very special.
Sometimes the plants that ask for the least attention end up becoming the jars you reach for most often.
π Final Thoughts
This little Pink Rosay has become one of my favourite reminders that gardening isn't about chasing uniformity.
It's about giving every plant the opportunity to become exactly what it was meant to be.
She may be the smallest plant inside the tent, but every day she stands there with remarkable health, vibrant colour, flawless structure and flowers that continue to multiply beneath a crown of brilliant white pistils.
Some growers measure success in height.
Others measure it in yield.
I'm learning, once again, that true success is watching a plant express its own personality while thriving from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries.
Your support, encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make this adventure even more rewarding.
Small in stature.
Beautiful in every detail.
And quietly preparing to surprise us all.
Growers Love and happy growing! π±π

DogDoctorOfficial πΈ Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 7 (Flowering)
π± Small Plant. Big Personality.
Some plants demand attention the moment they emerge.
Others earn it quietly.
This little Pink Rosay continues to be the smallest plant inside the entire Project Blue Tent, yet week after week she reminds me that a grower's job isn't to judge a plant by its height, but to help it become the very best version of itself.
Growing under my ongoing 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has followed a completely different path from her sister. While Pheno A reached confidently toward the lights, this compact little lady chose to stay low, building an incredibly tight framework instead of chasing vertical growth.
If I had grown only this phenotype, I might have wondered why she stayed so small.
Instead, growing both sisters side by side has become another beautiful reminder that every seed carries its own personality.
And that's exactly why I love growing from seed.
πΈ Week 7 β A Tiny Plant Filled With Flowers
This week the transformation became impossible to ignore.
Every branch is now carrying clusters of bright white pistils that seem to multiply every single day. What was once a compact green plant is slowly turning into a collection of miniature flower towers, each one stacking neatly above the next.
The flowers are still young, but they are forming with wonderful symmetry, and the bud sites are beginning to connect throughout the entire canopy.
One thing I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is how proportional everything feels.
Nothing is oversized.
Nothing feels stretched.
Every centimetre of growth seems to have been used efficiently.
She may occupy very little space inside the tent, but she's making excellent use of every bit of it.
πΏ Structure & Growth
Standing at approximately 63 cm, she has gained a little more height this week while remaining the most compact plant in the room.
Her internodal spacing continues to be incredibly tight, producing a naturally dense structure that barely required any training to create an even canopy.
The gentle Low Stress Training (LST) performed earlier continues paying dividends by opening the centre of the plant just enough to improve airflow and light penetration without disturbing her natural shape.
One thing I've really noticed this week is how balanced her architecture has become.
Instead of producing one dominant cola with scattered side branches, she's developing numerous evenly sized flowering tops that should mature together over the coming weeks.
She truly feels like a miniature version of her sister.
Smaller in every dimension.
Just as beautiful.
π Plant Health
Health continues to be absolutely outstanding.
The leaves maintain a deep emerald-green colour with excellent turgor from top to bottom, showing no signs of deficiencies, toxicity, or environmental stress.
Leaf posture remains relaxed and confident, while new growth emerges clean and vibrant around every developing flower.
One of the advantages of keeping her under close observation through hand watering is being able to appreciate just how consistently healthy she has remained throughout the entire grow.
She isn't asking for special treatment.
She's simply responding beautifully to consistency.
π‘ Lighting β Every Photon Matters
Being the shortest plant in the tent naturally means she spends much of her life beneath a taller canopy.
This is exactly where the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting becomes especially valuable.
While the Future of Grow Black Series 600W delivers excellent intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars help illuminate the lower sections of this compact phenotype, allowing light to reach bud sites that would otherwise spend much of the day in shade.
For a plant with such dense internodal spacing, that additional light penetration could make a significant difference as the flowers continue stacking over the next several weeks.
Sometimes the smallest plants benefit the most from thoughtful lighting design.
π§ Hand Watering & Nutrition
She continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system, allowing me to tailor every feeding while monitoring her progress on a daily basis.
Current feeding:
β’ Terra Bloom β 2 ml/L
β’ Pure Zym β 1 ml/L
β’ Sugar Royal β 1 ml/L
β’ Power Buds β 1 ml/L
β’ Green Sensation β 1 ml/L
Maintaining:
β’ EC: 1.95 mS/cm
β’ pH: 5.8
Despite her compact size, she's accepting the current feeding schedule extremely well, maintaining excellent colour while continuing to build flowers across the entire plant.
π‘οΈ Environment
The environmental conditions remain stable, allowing every phenotype inside Project Blue Tent to express its own genetic potential.
Current conditions:
β’ Day temperature: 29Β°C
β’ Night temperature: 25Β°C
β’ Relative humidity: 60%
β’ Solution temperature: 21Β°C
β’ Root-zone temperature: 21Β°C
β’ COβ: approximately 639 ppm
Consistency continues to be one of the biggest contributors to healthy growth, particularly during these important early flowering weeks.
πΌ The Beauty of Letting Plants Be Themselves
I think this little Pink Rosay teaches one of the most valuable lessons in growing.
Many growers would have looked at her size several weeks ago and immediately assumed something was wrong.
Some might even have started over.
But plants don't all read the same instruction manual.
Phenotypes exist for a reason.
Some stretch.
Some stay compact.
Some focus on structure before flowers.
Others race toward the lights.
There isn't always a "correct" version.
There are simply different expressions of the same genetics.
By allowing every plant to finish its own journey instead of comparing it to its neighbours, we often discover that the quietest plants become some of the most memorable ones.
Every plant deserves the opportunity to show us what it can become.
π Looking Ahead
The stretch now appears to be over, and from this point forward I expect nearly all of her energy to be directed toward flower production.
Those incredibly tight nodes should begin merging together into dense, compact colas as the calyxes continue swelling over the coming weeks.
Will she produce the biggest harvest in the tent?
Probably not.
But I have a feeling she'll reward patience with beautiful, dense flowers that perfectly reflect her compact personality.
Sometimes greatness doesn't come in the biggest package.
π Final Thoughts
This little Pink Rosay continues to remind me why I enjoy documenting every single phenotype.
She isn't trying to compete with her sister.
She isn't trying to become the tallest plant in the room.
She's simply expressing the genetics she was given, and she's doing it with remarkable health, beautiful structure, and flowers that become more impressive every single week.
As growers, it's easy to compare plants.
The real joy comes from appreciating each one for what it is, not for what we expected it to become.
A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting from above, Lumiflora for helping every lower flower receive the light it deserves, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries.
Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make every update even more rewarding.
Small in stature.
Beautiful in structure.
And proving, one week at a time, that every phenotype deserves the chance to shine.

DogDoctorOfficial πΈ Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) π±
The Tiny One That Refused To Give Up
If I were growing only two or three plants, I'm going to be completely honest...
I probably wouldn't have kept her.
Pink Rosay Pheno B is tiny.
Not small.
Not compact.
Tiny.
She's easily among the smallest plants I've ever grown.
And that's exactly what makes her so interesting.
Because this is the whole point of the 8Γ8 Adventure.
I'm growing twelve different genetics side by side, and instead of selecting only the plants that immediately impress me, I'm giving every phenotype the opportunity to tell me who she is.
And this little lady?
She's definitely telling us.
She isn't going to produce the biggest harvest in the tent.
She probably won't even come close.
But she's healthy.
She's flowering.
She's developing beautifully.
And she's still here.
Sometimes that's enough reason to keep watching.
πΈ Week 5 Flower β Tiny, But Still Building
The stretch is essentially behind her now, and her personality couldn't be clearer.
Pink Rosay Pheno B has remained incredibly compact throughout the entire grow.
Her nodes are tightly packed.
Her branches remain short.
Her entire structure feels almost miniature compared with the plants surrounding her.
But when you look closely...
There are flowers everywhere.
Those tiny branches are carrying developing buds, and the white pistils continue appearing across the flowering sites.
She's slowly turning this miniature framework into a miniature flowering plant.
And there's something strangely beautiful about that.
She isn't trying to become something she's not.
She's simply doing what her genetics told her to do.
βοΈ Defoliation β Opening The Little Lady Up
Just like her sister, Pink Rosay Pheno B also received a selective defoliation this week.
Again, this wasn't because she was unhealthy.
Quite the opposite.
She's looking beautiful.
The reason was simply that her extremely compact architecture creates a very dense little package of foliage and flowers.
With so much plant compressed into such a small vertical space, selectively removing some unnecessary leaves helps open the structure.
The goal isn't to strip the plant.
It's not about removing healthy leaves just because we can.
And it's certainly not about making the plant look pretty for a photograph.
The idea is to create a little more space between foliage, flowers, light and moving air.
I removed leaves that were contributing to congestion and cleaned up portions of the lower and interior structure where development was unlikely to justify keeping excessive foliage.
But I didn't remove everything.
There are still flowers down there.
And I'm leaving some of them.
Because this is an experiment.
I want to see what this tiny phenotype can actually do.
π‘ Let The Photons Move
With a plant this compact, light management becomes particularly interesting.
The Future of Grow Black Series provides the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system adds another source of illumination deeper in the room.
But there's an important distinction here.
Adding light doesn't automatically mean every flower needs to be exposed directly to it.
The plant still has its own architecture.
Leaves overlap.
Flowers sit underneath other leaves.
Some areas naturally receive less light.
By selectively opening the canopy, we're simply allowing more of the available photons to travel through the structure rather than being intercepted immediately by layers of foliage.
It's not about making the plant brighter.
It's about making the light distribution more useful.
And with a plant this tiny and dense, every little opening makes a difference to the way light and air move through her.
π± The Smallest Plant With A Big Lesson
This is probably the part of her story I appreciate most.
If you only looked at her height, you could easily conclude that something went wrong.
But nothing went wrong.
She simply expressed herself differently.
That's one of the reasons growing multiple phenotypes is so valuable.
Put two sisters next to each other and suddenly the differences become impossible to ignore.
One can stretch.
One can stay short.
One can develop large branches.
Another can produce a miniature architecture.
Same genetic family.
Completely different personalities.
And instead of asking:
"Why isn't she like her sister?"
I prefer asking:
"What can she show me if I let her finish?"
That's the experiment.
And that's why she's still here.
πΌ Flowers, Pistils & Personality
Despite her size, the flowering development is genuinely beautiful.
The flowers are becoming more defined, with fresh white pistils continuing to emerge from the developing calyxes.
The deep green foliage provides an incredible contrast against those bright white hairs.
And the more I look at her, the more I realise that her size is actually part of her charm.
She's almost like a miniature version of a full-sized flowering plant.
Everything is there.
Just compressed.
Tiny branches.
Tiny leaves.
Tiny flowers.
Tiny structure.
But the same biological process is happening.
She's still capturing light.
She's still producing energy.
She's still moving water and nutrients.
She's still building flowers.
And she's still telling us what her genetics are capable of.
βοΈ She's Still Getting Frostier
Another thing that keeps this little plant interesting is the resin development.
She's beginning to show that frosted appearance across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves, adding another layer to what is already an incredibly attractive little plant.
I don't expect her to suddenly turn into a giant producer.
But I do think she could produce something interesting in terms of flower quality.
And if the final amount ends up being very small?
That's okay too.
I've already been thinking that her eventual harvest may make more sense as a small personal extraction project rather than trying to treat her like a traditional high-yield plant.
Something like an ice-water wash could give those flowers another purpose.
But that's a decision for much later.
For now...
She's growing.
And that's what matters.
π§ Consistency Is Still The Strategy
The beauty of this phenotype is that she hasn't needed special treatment.
She's been receiving the same general cultivation philosophy as the rest of the room while being observed individually.
Hand watering gives me the opportunity to assess her every day and make sure her needs are being met without forcing her into a feeding strategy designed around a larger plant.
The important thing isn't trying to make her bigger at this point.
That chapter is over.
Now the objective is simply to allow her to finish as strongly and naturally as possible.
She's healthy.
She's flowering.
She's producing resin.
So we keep the environment stable and let her do the rest.
π‘οΈ Environment
The room continues providing a remarkably stable environment for all these different phenotypes.
Current conditions remain around:
Day temperature: 29Β°C
Night temperature: 25Β°C
Relative humidity: 60%
Solution temperature: 21Β°C
Root-zone temperature: 21Β°C
COβ: approximately 639 ppm
This is one of the things I love most about this project.
Twelve different plants.
Twelve different personalities.
One environment.
And every phenotype gets to show us how she responds to the same cultivation philosophy.
π Looking Ahead β Let's See What She's Got
At this point, I'm not expecting miracles from Pink Rosay Pheno B.
And I don't mean that negatively.
I mean that realistically.
She's tiny.
Her total flower mass will naturally be limited by the amount of plant she's carrying.
But that's okay.
The goal now isn't to turn her into something she's not.
It's to see how beautifully she can finish as herself.
The flowers should continue swelling.
The pistils will eventually begin their transition toward maturity.
Resin production should continue increasing.
And that little compact canopy should slowly transform from a collection of tiny flowers into a finished miniature harvest.
Maybe she'll surprise me.
Maybe she won't.
Either way...
She's already taught me something.
β€οΈ Final Thoughts β The Little Lady That Stayed
Pink Rosay Pheno B is probably never going to win a competition for plant height.
She isn't going to dominate the canopy.
She isn't going to produce a mountain of flowers.
And honestly?
That's okay.
Because this project was never only about growing the biggest plant.
It's about observing genetics.
It's about giving different phenotypes the room to express themselves.
It's about learning that sometimes the plant you would have removed from the garden is the one that ends up teaching you something you wouldn't have learned otherwise.
If I had only been growing a couple of plants, I might have looked at this tiny Pink Rosay early in the grow and decided that her journey wasn't worth the space.
But I didn't.
I gave her a chance.
And now she's standing there, covered in flowers, getting frostier every week and quietly proving that she still has a story to tell.
She may be the smallest plant in the room.
She may produce the smallest harvest.
She may eventually become a tiny jar of flowers...
Or perhaps an even tinier ice-water experiment.
But before any of that happens, she deserves exactly what every other phenotype in this project receives:
Time.
Time to grow.
Time to flower.
Time to express herself.
And time to show us what she can do.
A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental control and everyone following this crazy 8Γ8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries.
Every plant doesn't need to be the biggest.
Every phenotype doesn't need to be a winner.
Sometimes...
the smallest ones simply need someone willing to let them finish their story.
And this little lady isn't finished yet. πΈ
Until next week...
Tiny plant. Big personality. Still here. Still shining. π±β¨
Growers Love and happy growing! π

DogDoctorOfficial πΈ Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9
π The Little Dwarf That Iβm Very Glad I Kept
Some plants make you stop because they're enormous.
Some make you stop because they're covered in huge flowers.
And then there are plants that make you stop because you simply can't believe how much personality they've managed to fit into such a tiny body.
Pink Rosay Pheno B is one of those plants.
She's still a dwarf.
π
There is no point pretending otherwise.
She's tiny.
She's compact.
She's becoming incredibly dense.
And honestly...
I absolutely love her.
When I look back at the beginning of this grow, I have to admit something.
If I had only been growing a few plants, I probably would never have given a phenotype like this the opportunity to finish.
She's just too small.
There would have been a temptation to look at her, compare her to the others, and think:
"Maybe this one isn't worth the space."
But that's exactly why I love having twelve different genetics in the 8Γ8 Adventure.
I didn't remove her.
I gave her time.
And now?
She's standing there covered in flowers and frost, looking absolutely adorable.
And I'm very, very happy I kept her.
πΈ Week 9 β Still Tiny. Still Beautiful.
Pink Rosay Pheno B is currently around 63 cm.
Sixty-three.
ππ
Compared with some of the giants in this garden, she's practically a bonsai.
But here's the funny thing.
When I look at her now, I don't really see the height anymore.
I see the plant.
And the plant is beautiful.
Her structure is extremely compact, the internodes are tightly packed, and the flowers are becoming increasingly dense throughout that little framework.
She's not wasting much space.
She's not reaching endlessly upward.
She's simply putting everything she has into the structure she already built.
And that's becoming her signature.
Tiny frame. Dense flowers. Big personality.
π The Dwarf Is Getting Dense
This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week.
She's becoming really dense.
The flowers are no longer looking like little isolated flowering sites scattered across a miniature plant.
They're becoming proper little clusters.
The calyxes are becoming more pronounced.
The pistils are progressing.
And the resin is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves.
There's a lovely contrast developing between the dark green foliage and the increasingly frosty flowers.
And honestly...
she looks fantastic.
Not fantastic for a dwarf.
Just fantastic.
That's an important distinction.
Because I don't want to judge her by the expectations I'd have for a much larger plant.
I'm judging her for what she is.
And what she is becoming is a beautiful, compact, heavily flowering little plant.
βοΈ The Frost Is Starting to Take Over
And this is where things get particularly interesting.
The frost is becoming much more obvious.
The flowers have that increasingly sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and look again.
Then closer again.
And then...
"Okay, I need the macro lens." ππΈ
The resin is becoming part of her personality now.
It's no longer something you have to search for.
You can see it.
And I have a feeling she's going to become even more interesting as she continues toward maturity.
I wouldn't be surprised if, toward the end, she becomes one of those little plants where the amount of frost makes you completely forget how small she actually is.
She's certainly heading in that direction.
πΏ A Tiny Plant With Serious Density
One thing I really appreciate about this phenotype is how compressed everything is.
On a large plant, you can have flowers separated by considerable distances.
Here?
Everything is happening within a very small space.
Branches are short.
Nodes are close.
Flowers are packed into the architecture.
And now those flowers are gaining density.
It's almost like watching a miniature version of a full flowering plant.
Everything is there.
Just...
smaller.
π
And that's what makes photographing her so much fun.
A wide photograph tells you the story:
"Look how tiny she is."
Then you get the camera close.
And suddenly...
"Holy shit, look at those flowers."
That's Pink Rosay Pheno B.
βοΈ The Canopy β Now We Let Her Be
We already gave this little lady her selective defoliation when the canopy needed opening.
The objective was never to strip her.
It was to remove unnecessary congestion and give the remaining structure a little more room for light and airflow.
Now?
I'm leaving her alone.
She's doing exactly what I want her to do.
The remaining foliage is healthy.
The flowers are developing.
The structure is becoming denser.
And there is no reason to start interfering just because we have scissors available.
π
This is another lesson this tiny plant has taught me.
Sometimes cultivation is intervention.
Sometimes cultivation is restraint.
And right now, restraint wins.
Let her finish.
π‘ Small Canopy, Big Photon Story
The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system remains part of the overall flowering environment.
With a plant this compact, the relationship between light and structure is fascinating.
There isn't a huge vertical distance between the different parts of the plant.
Instead, everything is compressed into this little flowering package.
And as the flowers become denser, I'm very interested to see how she finishes under the same environmental philosophy as the much larger plants surrounding her.
She's another reminder that light doesn't dictate phenotype.
It gives the plant an opportunity.
The genetics decide what happens with that opportunity.
And Pink Rosay Pheno B decided:
"I'm going to stay tiny."
π
Fair enough.
I respect the commitment.
π± The Experiment Is Working Exactly As Intended
This little plant is one of the best examples of why I wanted to run this 8Γ8 Adventure the way I did.
If I had selected plants purely based on early size, she probably wouldn't have made the cut.
And I would have missed this.
I would have missed watching an extreme compact phenotype develop.
I would have missed seeing how much flower she can actually carry inside that miniature architecture.
And most importantly...
I would have missed the lesson.
Not every plant needs to be a monster.
Not every phenotype needs to produce enormous numbers.
Sometimes the value of a plant is simply in what it teaches you.
And this little girl has already taught me plenty.
π The Sister Comparison Is Fascinating
Her sister is a completely different story.
Same genetic line.
Same room.
Same general cultivation philosophy.
And yet...
look at them.
One is compact.
The other is larger.
One has a very compressed architecture.
The other expresses herself differently.
One looks almost miniature.
The other carries herself like a more conventional flowering plant.
And that's exactly what phenotype hunting is about.
You don't grow two sisters to make them identical.
You grow them to discover how different they can become.
Pink Rosay Pheno B has certainly answered that question.
Very different.
And I'm glad she did.
π§ Feeding & Environment
The current conditions remain stable:
πΈ Flowering: Week 9
π Height: approximately 63 cm
π‘ Light schedule: 12/12
π‘οΈ Day temperature: 29Β°C
π Night temperature: 25Β°C
π§ Relative humidity: 60%
βοΈ pH: approximately 6.0
β‘ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm
π‘οΈ Solution temperature: 25Β°C
π± Substrate temperature: 26Β°C
π¬οΈ COβ: approximately 639 ppm
? Pot size: 15 L
π¦ Watering: approximately 1 L per plant / 24h
The feeding program remains centered around the same flowering nutrition approach used throughout the project.
No unnecessary changes.
No chasing numbers.
She's developing beautifully, so consistency remains the priority.
π¬οΈ Tiny Doesn't Mean Forgotten
One of the things I really enjoy about hand-watering this plant is that she gets exactly the same attention as the giants.
She may be tiny.
But she's still part of the experiment.
Every time I approach her, I get to look at the flowers.
Check the foliage.
Watch the resin.
Look for changes.
And because she's so compact, it's actually incredibly easy to observe her closely.
There aren't hundreds of centimetres of plant to inspect.
Everything is right there.
She's basically saying:
"Come on. You can't miss me."
ππ
And I don't.
π Looking Ahead β I Have a Feeling About This One
I'm not expecting a huge producer.
Let's be realistic.
She's 63 cm.
She's a dwarf phenotype.
Her total flowering structure is naturally limited by the amount of plant she has.
But that's not what I'm watching anymore.
I'm watching quality.
I'm watching density.
I'm watching resin development.
I'm watching how those flowers mature.
And I'm very curious to see where she ends up.
Because she has already exceeded what I expected from her.
She survived.
She flowered.
She developed.
She became dense.
And now she's getting increasingly frosty.
That's already a win.
And who knows...
perhaps by the end of this journey, she will become an even more interesting little specimen than I expected.
π Maybe I Should Have Kept More Dwarfs
This is something I've been thinking about.
If this had been a smaller garden, I probably wouldn't have grown a phenotype like this.
And that's exactly why having a larger project is so valuable.
You get to see the extremes.
You get to see the weird ones.
The tall ones.
The short ones.
The explosive ones.
The quiet ones.
The strange ones.
The beautiful ones.
And sometimes...
the tiny ones.
Pink Rosay Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category.
She's not here to win the height competition.
She's not here to dominate the tent.
She's here to show us what happens when her genetics decide:
"We're going small."
And honestly?
I'm loving every minute of it.
β€οΈ Final Thoughts β The Little Dwarf I Almost Didn't Keep
I think this might be my favourite part of Pink Rosay Pheno B's story.
Not how big she is.
Not how much she might produce.
Not whether she can compete with her sister.
It's the fact that she almost wouldn't have had this opportunity.
If I had fewer plants, I might have looked at her and decided she wasn't worth the space.
But because this is the 8Γ8 Adventure...
she stayed.
And now?
I'm really glad she did.
Because this little dwarf has become one of the plants I genuinely enjoy looking at.
She's cute as fuck.
ππ
She's tiny.
She's compact.
She's becoming extremely dense.
She's getting frostier.
She's beautifully structured.
And she's completely comfortable being exactly what she is.
I don't need her to become a giant.
I don't need her to suddenly explode in size.
I don't need her to prove anything.
I just want to see her finish.
And I have a feeling that when she does, whatever she gives us is going to be very, very nice.
Perhaps later, when everything is finished and the entire garden has told its story, we'll decide what makes the most sense for this little harvest.
But that's a story for another day.
Right now...
she's still growing.
Still shining.
Still getting frostier.
Still being the tiniest girl in the room.
And still making me smile every time I look at her.
πΈπβοΈ
Pink Rosay Pheno B.
The little dwarf.
The tiny survivor.
The compact beauty.
The one I almost didn't keep...
and the one I'm now very happy I did.
So let's give her the spotlight.
Because she has absolutely earned it.
A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the project, TrolMaster for the environmental control, and of course to everyone following the 8Γ8 Adventure on GrowDiaries.
Every phenotype doesn't have to be enormous.
Every plant doesn't have to be a champion.
Sometimes the smallest plant in the room gives you one of the biggest lessons.
And sometimes...
the little dwarf becomes one of your favourites.
This one certainly became one of mine.
Until next week...
Tiny plant. Huge personality. Getting seriously frosty. πβοΈ
Growers love and happy growing! π±π
