🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 Small Frame. Big Flowers. An Absolute Beauty. Some plants need space to become impressive. Pink Rosay doesn't. Standing at approximately 111 cm, she remains one of the most compact plants in the entire 8×8 Adventure. But somehow, when you look at her, she doesn't feel small. She feels complete. Dense. Elegant. Full. Every centimetre of her structure seems occupied by flowers, leaves and developing potential. She's one of those plants that reminds me that size and presence are two completely different things. And Pink Rosay has presence. This week, she also joined the group receiving a selective flowering defoliation. Again, not because there was anything wrong. Not because she was struggling. And not because I believe every plant needs to be stripped at a particular point in flower. She was actually looking fantastic. But she's a little more advanced than some of the plants around her, and when I looked closely at her structure, I felt that opening her up would benefit both her and the room. So we made some space. And now we're going to watch what she does with it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Compact Doesn't Mean Small Pink Rosay has always had her own way of doing things. She never chased the ceiling. She never tried to become the biggest plant in the tent. Instead, she's packed an incredible amount of flowering structure into a remarkably compact frame. At approximately 111 cm, she's still relatively short for this room. But look closer. The branches are carrying substantial flowering sites. The flowers are stacking. The calyxes are beginning to swell. The pistils remain beautifully bright. And the resin continues becoming more apparent. This is where I think the word "compact" can sometimes be misleading. She's compact in height. She certainly isn't compact in personality. And she definitely isn't compact in what she's building. There's a lot happening inside this little plant. ✂️ Defoliation – Making Space, Not Removing Beauty This week I decided to selectively defoliate Pink Rosay. And I want to explain the reasoning because defoliation is one of those subjects where growers can have very different approaches. For me, this wasn't about looking at the plant and thinking: "There are too many leaves." Healthy leaves are valuable. They're photosynthetic machinery, and I don't remove them simply because they're large or because I want the plant to look cleaner. Instead, I look at the relationship between the leaves, flowers, light and airflow. Pink Rosay has become quite dense. Her compact structure means that a lot of foliage and flowering sites are occupying a relatively small vertical space. As flowering progresses, that density can create areas where leaves overlap heavily, airflow becomes less direct and light has difficulty travelling deeper into the canopy. So this time, I selectively removed foliage that was contributing to unnecessary congestion. Not everything. Not aggressively. Just enough to open the architecture. 💡 Let The Photons Travel One of the reasons I like selective defoliation at this stage is that we're not necessarily trying to make every flower receive direct light. That's not the objective. We're trying to improve the distribution of the available light through the canopy. The Future of Grow Black Series is already delivering around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. There are plenty of photons available. The question becomes: How efficiently can the plant's architecture use them? When several large leaves overlap one another, some of that light is intercepted before it can reach deeper areas. By selectively removing leaves from congested sections, we can allow more light to penetrate into the canopy and reach leaves and flowering sites that were previously more heavily shaded. We're not creating more light. We're simply changing the path it takes through the plant. And with Pink Rosay being such a compact and dense phenotype, that can be particularly interesting. 🌬️ And Then There's Airflow Light isn't the only reason for opening a dense canopy. Air needs space too. As the plant becomes more compact and the flowers continue developing, airflow through the interior becomes increasingly important. Removing selected leaves creates little channels through the plant where air can move more freely. That helps reduce stagnant pockets inside dense foliage and makes the entire canopy easier to manage as flowering progresses. Again, this isn't about removing leaves because leaves are bad. It's about managing density. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant isn't giving her something. It's simply getting out of the way of what she's already doing. 🌿 A Plant With Serious Density And this is probably what impresses me most about Pink Rosay right now. She is dense. Not just in foliage. The flowering structure itself is becoming increasingly substantial. The individual flowers are beginning to look less like isolated flowering sites and more like components of developing colas. The calyxes are swelling. The pistils are still predominantly white. And the resin continues building across the flowers and sugar leaves. She's entering that beautiful transition where you can start seeing the architecture of the eventual harvest forming in front of you. I don't want to call it "bulking" just yet. I prefer thinking of it as stacking, swelling and building flower mass. But whatever word we choose... She's definitely building. And she's doing it beautifully. ❄️ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Personality The resin production continues to impress me. Looking closely at the flowers, there's already a visible layer of trichomes developing across the calyxes and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is still only Week 5 of flowering. The bright white pistils make everything even more dramatic. Against the deep green foliage, those flowers almost look illuminated from within. It's one of those combinations that makes photography incredibly rewarding. Dark green. Bright white pistils. Developing frost. And flowers that become more substantial every time I look at them. Pink Rosay is definitely starting to look like she knows exactly where she's going. 🌱 Why I Didn't Defoliate Everything This is important. After a defoliation, it's easy to look at a plant and think: "Why didn't you remove this leaf too?" Because more isn't necessarily better. I want Pink Rosay to retain enough healthy foliage to continue powering photosynthesis and supporting flower development. The objective was never to expose every flower. It was to improve the relationship between: foliage → flowers → light → airflow. Some leaves are still doing excellent work. Some flowers are still perfectly positioned beneath them. And some shading is completely natural. A plant doesn't need to look like a perfectly arranged artificial canopy. She's alive. She's dynamic. And I'm much more interested in creating a healthy, functional environment than achieving a perfectly clean photograph. Although... I have to admit... She does look pretty damn good after the cleanup. 😍 💡 Lighting From Above & Below The primary lighting remains the Future of Grow Black Series LED, providing approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. Below, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another dimension to the system. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like Pink Rosay. Her compact structure means that the lower portions of the plant are physically much closer to the upper canopy than they would be on a tall, stretched plant. At the same time, her density can create additional shading. The under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas another source of photons while the defoliation helps improve the movement of light through the plant from above. It's another experiment within the larger experiment. And, as always... Harvest will be the judge. 💧 Hand Watering – One Plant At A Time Pink Rosay continues receiving individual attention through hand watering. There's something especially useful about hand watering at this stage. Every time I approach the plant, I have an opportunity to look. To inspect the flowers. To check the leaves. To feel how the plant is progressing. To notice changes that might otherwise disappear into the background of an automated system. Current feeding remains: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current readings: pH — approximately 6.0 EC — approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature — 21°C Root-zone temperature — 21°C Watering — approximately 1.4 L per 24 hours No unnecessary changes. The plant is responding well. So we keep giving her consistency. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing the stability this garden has been built around. Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Root-zone temperature: 21°C Solution temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 529 ppm The room continues relying on natural CO₂ replenishment through ventilation rather than bottled supplementation. The important thing isn't chasing one individual number. It's the interaction between temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, root-zone conditions and light. When those pieces work together, the plant gets to concentrate on what she does best. Growing. 👀 Looking Ahead – Is Something Special Building Here? I'm becoming increasingly curious about Pink Rosay's final outcome. Not because I want to predict a number. Not because I want to call the harvest before she's finished. But because the structure is promising. She's compact. She's healthy. She's carrying a remarkable number of flowering sites for her size. She's producing resin. She's stacking flowers. And now we've opened the canopy slightly to give her more room to breathe and allow light to travel more effectively through her architecture. If she continues at this pace, I have a feeling she could surprise us at harvest. Sometimes the plants that look modest from a distance are the ones that make you raise your eyebrows when the final numbers come in. And Pink Rosay has exactly that feeling. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Pink Rosay Pheno A continues telling one of my favourite stories in this entire 8×8 Adventure. She reminds me that you don't need to be the tallest plant in the room to make an impression. You don't need to stretch toward the ceiling. You don't need to occupy the most space. Sometimes you can simply take your little corner... And make it extraordinary. This week, we gave her a little more room. A little more airflow. A little more opportunity for photons to move through her canopy. And now we're stepping back again. Because after making a cultivation decision, the most important thing is knowing when to stop touching the plant and let her respond. That's where the real lesson begins. Pink Rosay is compact. She is dense. She is elegant. She is increasingly frosty. And there is an enormous amount of flower packed into that small frame. I have a feeling this little lady may have something very interesting waiting for us at harvest. But for now... We're going to let her keep building. Keep stacking. Keep swelling. Keep shining. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a different story. Pink Rosay's story is becoming one of elegance, density and quiet strength. And I absolutely love where she's going. Until next week... Small frame. Big personality. Let her shine. 🌸✨ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Plants are great, GROWING WITH 24 HOUR LIGHT CYCLE FROM SPROUT. I get great results with 24 hour

Flushing her, she smells amazing. First time growing this girl and she's already one of my favorite. I will not water her for the rest of the week to begin the drying process.

The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #4 I have let the plants grown their 4th node and have topped them all at the 3rd node during the week. All the plants responded well and started to grow 2 tops. All the genetics looks good with no shitty weird plants. Every plants are in "V" and excited to grow. The light coverage of the Mars-Hydro SP250 is good enough to leave them another week without adding more light. Using only 245w for the lightning during 5 weeks is very economic 👍 Last week feeding has been done in time, everyone is green lush. No need to add any nootz this week, just giving plain pH’d water. (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Blüten werden inzwischen sehr Harzig und der Duft nimmt zu. Dem Giesswasser wird täglich 1:10 Jauche zugegen. Zu dem jedes zweite Gießen Pro Sugar von Grow Pro ein Kohlenhydrat Blütedünger(von der Mary Jane ein Tester). Zu dem gibt es ein bis zweimal in der Woche Seafeed Xtra von envii. Die ersten Blätter haben sich unten entfernt daher gebe ich gerade wieder Stickstoff zu den Pflanzen. Auch wenn es nur noch diese Woche war danach nur noch Blütedünger. Zu dem habe ich Basilikum gepflanzt, Dill, Ringelblume und Koriander gesäat am Anfang der Woche und zum Ende noch Lupine und Rot Klee.

By much new this week except some light smell coming off the griks

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

What up Growmies, this one grew hella fast maturing in 9 weeks from seed to harvest fast. Buds is true to their name. This one has some serious resin on the flowers reminding me of some sort of a gelato Gorilla glue cross, but we shall see when it's released! I could be far off lol. I had no problems growing her. She was really easy and happy her whole life. She's a great one for extractions! Thank you grow diaries and thank you fastbuds for the opportunity to show the world my organic gardening skills! I appreciate all the support from the growing community here on grow diaries. Big thanks for my followers!

Woche 6 startet wie gewohnt ohne Probleme. Die Buds werden dicker und schwerer. RLF pendelt aktuell zwischen 45-52%, Temperaturen schwanken etwas mehr von 18-26°C. Noch halten die Buds sich von alleine aber ich denke zum Ende der Woche könnten sie Stützen gebrauchen. Der Geruch im Zelt ist extrem. Sie stinkt so stark, das ich das Zelt nicht lange offen lassen kann.😎 Die Masse der Blüten ist auch ziemlich gut. Wird bestimmt heftig.

Please hit the like button in the diary and follow me for more updates. Update July 26th Final week started. Today was the last time I put fertilizer into the water. Next watering will be clean and then a few days later will be harvest time. Gnats seem to be gone again. Maybe they’ll bounce back once but at this point their days are over anyway. I’m already thinking about the next grow. Whether I’m doing another two diesels or maybe an autoflower. In any case stay tuned.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well! Keep those eyes peeled for next week! Cheers😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

A selection of a few plants but you can tell the f1 hybrids are just amazing for growth got loads of bud site hopeing for fat buds now still a few weeks to

5 semanas de vegeta y 7 días de flora. Plantas sanitas

First day of chop! and my dry room stinks like fresh wild garlic. I think she's around 500-750 grams in weight, i don't own big scales so couldn't really check. The grow could of been better but around week 5 I had a serious accident so I've had my friend look after my girls so couldn't really train and take off useless popcorn so she looks very airy to me but packed in crystal. I'll update once dry.

Lollipopped the hell out of this bishhh. 25 ml PBPB 15 ml sb 15 ml CM 3 clones rooted from her. Grow was exceptional this week, still getting Ph bombs late to mid week, I was able to keep it at 5.7 with daily adjustments

After 7 Day From 2" Pot to 3 Gallon Fabric Pot Keep Going on My First Season! 😁

Last week was very challenging, two girls got really tall below the white light, while the other two below the blurple spectrum ended up being smaller and bushier, both looking fantastic. Last week I also probably went too far defoliating the shaded smaller girl which stunned it a bit for a day or two but its flowering vigorously again. Although the unexpected stretch which led to uneven light coverage overally the platns are looking solid, smelly and sugary :)

Der Haupttrieb wurde am 16.3. geerntet den Rest der Pflanze am 18.3.

Week 2 – Transplant Day 🌱 The second week is finally here! The plant is developing really well, and so far, there have been no signs of nutrient deficiencies, overwatering, underwatering, or anything else that might raise concerns. Everything has been surprisingly straightforward so far. It seems to be a fairly low-maintenance plant, and I’m keeping things simple rather than following a strict watering schedule. I just wait until the soil starts to dry out or the pot feels noticeably lighter before watering again. Today, October 26, I transplanted the plant after two weeks in a 250 ml cup. The roots hadn’t completely filled the cup yet, but the transplant went smoothly without any issues. I added some granular mycorrhizae to the growing medium and applied a small amount directly to the roots as well. After transplanting, I watered around the plant and the root zone with approximately 250 ml of water mixed with Acti-Vera at a dosage of 1 ml/L, with the aim of giving the roots a little support after the transplant. I maintained the relative humidity at around 70% and kept the PPFD between 250 and 300 µmol/m²/s. As for the Special Queen Auto, it was planted directly into its final pot and hasn’t received much in the way of nutrients so far. I’m thinking of starting its feeding schedule around day 16 or 17. Overall, everything is going smoothly, and I’m happy with how the plants are developing so far. Woche 2 – Umtopftag 🌱 Die zweite Woche hat endlich begonnen! Die Pflanze entwickelt sich bisher wirklich gut. Es sind keinerlei Anzeichen für Nährstoffmangel, Überwässerung, Wassermangel oder andere Probleme zu erkennen. Bis jetzt läuft alles erstaunlich unkompliziert. Die Pflanze scheint relativ pflegeleicht zu sein, und ich halte die Bewässerung bewusst einfach, anstatt mich an einen festen Zeitplan zu halten. Ich warte einfach, bis das Substrat langsam abtrocknet oder sich der Topf deutlich leichter anfühlt, bevor ich erneut gieße. Heute, am 26.10., habe ich die Pflanze nach zwei Wochen aus ihrem 250-ml-Becher in einen größeren Topf umgetopft. Die Wurzeln hatten den Becher zwar noch nicht vollständig durchwurzelt, aber das Umtopfen verlief trotzdem problemlos. Ich habe etwas granuliertes Mykorrhiza-Präparat unter das Substrat gemischt und zusätzlich eine kleine Menge direkt an die Wurzeln gegeben. Nach dem Umtopfen habe ich rund um die Pflanze und den Wurzelbereich etwa 250 ml Wasser mit Acti-Vera in einer Dosierung von 1 ml/L gegeben, um die Wurzeln nach dem Umtopfen etwas zu unterstützen. Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit habe ich bei etwa 70 % gehalten, während der PPFD-Wert zwischen 250 und 300 µmol/m²/s lag. Was die Special Queen Auto betrifft, wurde sie direkt in ihren endgültigen Topf gepflanzt und hat bisher nur wenige Nährstoffe bekommen. Ich überlege, ungefähr ab Tag 16 oder 17 mit dem Düngeschema zu beginnen. Insgesamt läuft bisher alles problemlos, und ich bin mit der bisherigen Entwicklung der Pflanzen sehr zufrieden.
