Hey Growers & Tokers! Sorry for the delay on the weekly updates, had some things I had to attend but I'm back and at it! A week has passed since the 21-day defoliation. These pictures were taken on day 27 of flower. Defoliation is showing its fruits, no signs of stress. Bud sites are growing day by day. Curious to see how these buds develop. I'm hoping the main colas turn out one big bud. Figures crossed. Did a little plucking this week, nothing too noticeable.. Smell is starting to come in, can't quite put my finger on it yet. Still feeding every other day. No signs of deficiencies, that's great. Next week i'll start giving her a PK booster. That's it for this week hope you're enjoying this progress like I am. Have a good one! One love!

At day 84 from seed, 38 days since the switch to 12-12, she is a little closer to my light than I want. She looks happy to me though so I hope I get away with it. She is just entering that part of her life cycle where she is developing and putting on weight. Not much to do much wait and see if she ends up too close to my light and if she'll need support later in flower.

The girls have been growing at a very fast pace. I was out of town from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. When I came back and opened the tent I was blown away by the progress. Today I am going to go and buy some (22/06/2020) garden wire and start Low Stress Training, I'm a bit nervous but it seems like the best thing to do for the girls. Its exciting times... They are growing at a very fast pace but at the same time it feels like time is not moving along fast enough :) LST started... hopefully its done correctly :)

Vamos familia, actualizamos la cuarta semana de vida de estas Thunder Banana de Seedstockers, salieron las 3 de 3, 100% ratio éxito. Aplicamos varios productos de Agrobeta, que son increíbles para aportar una buena alimentación a las plantas. Temperatura y humedad dentro de los rangos correctos dentro de la etapa de crecimiento. La tierra utilizada es al mix top crop, por cambiar. De 3 ejemplares seleccioné los 2 mejores para completar el indoor y apliqué el tetra 9 vía foliar, se ven bien sanas las plantas, tienen un buen color y progresan a muy buen ritmo por el momento. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

I added a small video of the garden and will update this week further near day 35. 9/20 // The ladies rebounded nicely from the 9/11 overfeeding. Fed and watered them today. Willow at 1/4 nutes and Buffy at 1/8 nutes. 9/22 // Feeling good at the end of week 5. The ladies have responded well to the light feeding on 9/20, and I have started adding Big Bud to the mix.

Still just want to keep the defoliation to a minimum. I wanted to have a grow with the plants 'O Natural' with no topping or other techniques. I thinned out almost all but the top 2 sets of fan leaves

Seeing new bud development.

did all the topping I plan to do and she's responding just fine. found a touch of fuzz on the old seed pod forming on the rockwool and removed it, as well as snipping off the internodal leaves that had some brown spots... and now she's clean and symmetrical! very definitely an improvement from a couple weeks ago :) did not do a full nutrient swap this week, so no pics or videos of the root system just yet... maybe mid week. tuned back the nutes just a tiny bit (mixed same nute in 1700 ml instead of 1500). not sure why, mostly instinct and to help keep it small (the whole point, really). she's fun to grow! if you've never tried a desktop nano grow... i highly recommend it 😊👌😺

🌸 Folder 09A | Pink Rosay Auto Week 2 – Building the Foundation of Something Special Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own diary and every plant is allowed to tell its own story. This week belongs to Pink Rosay Auto 09A. From the moment she settled into her new home, she has done little else but impress. Strong growth. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. And perhaps most exciting of all… An incredible willingness to respond to every bit of training she’s received. Some plants fight you. Others work with you. Pink Rosay A already feels like she’s becoming a true partner in this grow. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions Every plant in the project continues growing under identical environmental conditions, allowing each phenotype to express its own unique characteristics without external variables influencing the comparison. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres The room continues to remain exceptionally stable, providing the perfect environment for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program Pink Rosay A continued following the complete Plagron Terra nutrition schedule throughout the week. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The feeding remains intentionally balanced, encouraging explosive root expansion while supplying everything needed for strong structural growth before flowering accelerates. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week has been nothing short of impressive. Every few days she seemed noticeably larger than before. Her central stem has thickened considerably while producing a wonderfully even distribution of side branches that are already beginning to compete with the main leader. The internodal spacing remains tight without becoming overcrowded, creating a compact yet highly productive structure. One of the most enjoyable aspects of watching this phenotype has been the speed at which she responds. Almost overnight, new shoots emerge from every node, eager to occupy every bit of available light. Her leaves display excellent colour, healthy turgor and outstanding vigor, all clear signs that the root system is developing exactly as hoped. She simply looks happy. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress This week focused on gentle canopy management and encouraging an even distribution of future flowering sites. Daily leaf tucking exposed developing secondary branches while maintaining excellent airflow through the centre of the plant. Gentle low-stress training helped guide the main branches outward, opening the canopy without slowing her impressive rate of development. What stands out most is how naturally she responds. Every adjustment seems to trigger another burst of growth. Rather than showing signs of stress, she appears to embrace the extra light reaching the lower branches, rewarding each training session with even more vigorous development. It’s exactly the kind of response every grower hopes to see. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s photographs tell the story beautifully. Early overhead shots reveal a compact young plant already displaying remarkable symmetry. As the week progresses, that symmetry evolves into a broad, balanced canopy with fan leaves stretching confidently toward the edges of the pot. The macro images highlight vigorous new shoots emerging from every node, each one already preparing to become a future flowering branch. Side profile photographs showcase the increasingly thick central stem supporting a canopy that is becoming wider rather than taller—a fantastic trait for maximizing light distribution under the LED. By the final images of the week, she has transformed from a promising seedling into a confident young plant full of potential. It’s one of those weeks where the camera truly captures the speed of healthy development. ⸻ 🌸 Looking Ahead The coming week promises to be an exciting one. With her vigorous response to training and naturally balanced architecture, I expect the canopy to continue widening as secondary branches rapidly catch up with the main stem. As flowering begins to approach, the structure already being established should provide an excellent framework capable of supporting numerous evenly developed bud sites. If she continues growing with this level of consistency, Pink Rosé A has every opportunity to become one of the stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. She isn’t simply growing. She’s building something. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you for following another chapter of this incredible journey. Every week reinforces one simple truth: when genetics, environment and careful cultivation come together, each plant reveals a personality entirely its own. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can document their successes, learn from one another and celebrate this amazing passion together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the Terra nutrient line that continues to deliver vigorous, healthy growth with remarkable consistency throughout every stage of this project. To the breeders behind these beautiful genetics—thank you for the dedication, patience and years of work that make adventures like this possible. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries. Your encouragement, your questions, your advice and your shared enthusiasm are what make this community so special. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One beautiful surprise at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

Scrogging its way through the fence. Thanks fornlooking. Pistils are just starting to emerge, and im hoping inhave enough eeather for her to finish.

Ready for transplant into tent this week.

One up!

So far so good, Plant2 is one week behind in size on Plant1 but no reason to panic. Each seed has his own growing speed. Started some LST techniques to keep the plant low and let the side branches reach their full potential. The plants are looking happy and healthy. Because it are auto’s I’m expexting them to start flowering in a week or 2 but it’s hard to tell as I usually only grow non-auto’s I’ll switch to bloom nutrition as soon as I see the first pistils appear.

She can't drink enough. It's crazy. Solid growth, good stems and major defoliation for this girl.

Primera semana de floración y a medida que crecen los brotes los voy pasando bajo la malla tratando de dejar los brazos más altos en las orillas, se ha regado foliarmente con delta 9 el cual se dio en dosis baja al sustrato al comenzar fotoperiodo de floración.

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. Sucrose Overdose and Muscadine Wines are still stretching...raised lights again. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season. 12/18: Supercropped a Muscie... again... now she's doing the "letter 'S' thang. I'll force the curves tighter over the new few days if she keeps stretching.
