🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 7 | Finally Whispering That Flower Is Coming Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following this diary, you'll know that Passion Fruitz has become one of the most fascinating plants in this entire project. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's flowering the fastest. Quite the opposite. She's teaching us that sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that refuse to follow the schedule we expected. Every other lady in the room has already settled into flowering. Meanwhile, Passion Fruitz has continued building herself, almost completely ignoring the fact that she's been growing under a 12/12 light schedule since the day she broke through the soil. This week, however... Something finally changed. 🌱 Why We're Calling This Week One of Flower Technically, she's still only in pre-flower. The first signs are there. Tiny white pistils are beginning to appear. The growing tips are changing shape. The plant is slowly transitioning from producing leaves into producing flowers. Is she fully flowering yet? Not really. But every flowering journey has to begin somewhere, and this week feels like the true beginning of that transition. So for the sake of documenting this phenotype consistently, I'm officially calling this her Week One of Flower. She's finally telling us she's ready. She's just doing it in her own time. And honestly... That's exactly what makes this phenotype so interesting. 🌿 The Bush That Never Stopped Growing Standing at approximately 66 cm tall, Passion Fruitz remains one of the shortest ladies inside the tent. But don't mistake short for small. She's become an incredibly dense, wide, and vigorous bush. Large fan leaves. Thick stems. Strong side branches. Beautiful spacing throughout the canopy. Instead of stretching vertically, she's invested her energy into building a broad, healthy framework. Looking at her now, I can't help wondering just how enormous she might have become if I had given her several weeks of vegetative growth before flowering. Considering she's been under 12/12 from seed, her ability to keep producing vegetative growth for so long has been remarkable. 🍃 Healthy, Lush & Full of Life Every time I look at this plant, one thing immediately stands out. The colour. Her foliage is rich, vibrant, and beautifully healthy. The large fan leaves almost glow under the lighting, while fresh new growth continues emerging from nearly every branch. She may be taking her time to flower, but she's certainly not wasting that time. Every day she seems to become stronger. Healthier. More prepared for what's ahead. Sometimes patience really does reward the grower. 🌱 Low Stress Training — Guiding, Never Forcing Low Stress Training has continued playing an important role throughout her development. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, LST simply encourages branches to spread out, exposing more growing tips to light while maintaining a level canopy. Combined with occasional leaf tucking, it allows airflow to improve naturally while opening the plant without causing unnecessary stress. It's one of my favourite techniques because it works with the plant instead of against her. Passion Fruitz has responded beautifully. Her canopy is open. Balanced. Healthy. And ready for flowering whenever she decides it's time. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week's feeding remained exactly in line with the rest of the flowering room: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. Even though she's only just entering pre-flower, consistency remains the priority. The goal isn't to force development. It's to provide everything she needs so she can continue progressing naturally. 💡 Under Canopy Lighting From Day One One thing I'm particularly curious about with this phenotype is how she'll respond to the Lumiflora under canopy lighting. Unlike most of the other ladies, which received the additional light after flowering had already begun, Passion Fruitz has been benefiting from it while still building her structure. Although she doesn't yet need extra support for developing buds, those lower branches have been receiving additional light from a very early stage. Will that help her build stronger lower flower sites later? Will the lower canopy develop differently compared to the other phenotypes? Only time will tell. That's one of the reasons I love documenting projects like this. Sometimes the biggest discoveries are the ones you never planned to make. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues providing the stable conditions shared by every plant in this project: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these variables consistent allows the genetics—not environmental changes—to tell the story. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this incredible plant. The full plant images reveal an impressively dense canopy despite her relatively modest height. The close-ups showcase beautifully healthy foliage, rich green colour, vigorous new growth, and those very first hints that flowering is finally beginning. Every picture tells the same story. She's been slow. But she's never stopped growing. And now she's finally preparing for the next chapter. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I'm hoping to see more white pistils appearing across every growing tip as pre-flower gradually develops into true flowering. I'm not expecting explosive bud formation just yet. Knowing this phenotype, she'll probably continue doing everything at her own pace. The stretch may begin slowly. The first clusters of calyxes should become more noticeable. And I'm especially curious to see how the Lumiflora under canopy lighting influences those lower branches as flowering finally gets underway. One thing is certain. Whatever she decides to do... She'll do it on her own schedule. And after watching her these past weeks, I've learned not to rush her. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz has reminded me that growing isn't about trying to force every plant into the same timeline. It's about understanding that every phenotype carries its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing its genetics. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the fantastic genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment every single day. ✨ Lumiflora for providing the under canopy lighting that's helping every branch receive the best possible opportunity to perform. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply enjoying this adventure with me. The first flowers may only just be arriving... But sometimes the slowest journeys become the most memorable ones. I'll see you all next week as Passion Fruitz continues writing her own unique story, one leaf, one pistil, and one flower at a time. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

Flipping to flower in a few days. 💪 top dressed with Gaia green 444 and 284 This 100% organic grow has been nothing but happiness praying leaves all throughout healthy rapid growth healthy roots no problems what so ever and I didn’t ph my water as ph kills microbial life only thing that was a little tricky was to figure out where the sweet spot for wetness was can’t wait to see end product in two months 4 super sour s1 copy cat genetixx 2 peanutbutter souffle from ilovegrowingmarijuana 1 pressure (Gary Payton rainbow chips) clone from a breeder in my nwighborhood

Desde el momento uno fue fácil de cultivar, no tuve ningún problema en todo su desarrolló. Como planta supero todas mis expectativas, se encuentran densos y muy pegajosos los cocos. En algunos hay partes de color violeta/lila. Y por ultimo recomiendo mucho cultivar esta genética por lo sencillo que fue cultivarla y sus resultados finales, todo de diez.

4. Woche Das Topping ist soweit abgeschlossen, 3 Topps sind es am Ende geworden und jetzt darf sie sich erholen und ihre Kraft um modellieren 😊

7/3 Hot as fuck today. Japanese beetles were around. I killed a few. I'm going to have to go over and keep an eye on things. It reached 90° today for the majority of the day. I watered around 1pm as I noticed most of the bags were very light. I'm glad I held off on the BT. I've dealt with jpn beetles before so hopfully that won't be an issue. Things are getting big. It won't let me upload any pictures or the video I did. I may upload it to past week. Went back over at night and and plants looked dropy but it was after 7pm and they were just going to sleep. 7/4 Didn't take photos this morning. Found some jpn beetles. That's the damage I've been seeing. I went back over last night to hunt them but I only got two. There weren't any others. No biggie. I'll put some pics up from today after I get back 7/5 Didn't get a chance to check the plants out today. My intuition tingled around 1pm and I had just gotten home and I ran over to check them. They displayed minor signs of heat stress as seen in the pics (due to the super high humidity and 90° weather) and the bags were light. A few were REALLY light. I could see they needed water. I WATERED 4 1/2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. DO TO THE HIGH TENPS AND WINDS IVE HAD TO WATER THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW. IVE SLOWLY STRARTED INCREASING VOLUME. I don't want to water until I get a shit ton of run off because I want to keep the nutes in my soil as long as possible. As you can see things are going great. Minor pests but notjing major. They're growing at a very rapid pace. I'll need to add another layer of supports soon and begin to LST some of these girls. I've got one seedling in a 10 gal and I'm pretty sure it's a feminized red runtz but it's in preflower and looks and SHOULD be a female but I haven't seen the white hair yet. Looks like a female preflower though. I do have one auto though in a 5 gallon tjats doing good too. I have a bunch of pics but the internet is too slow. I'll upload tomorrow. Started pouring around 6. 7/6 Poured sheet rain all night. After it had Bern super fucking hot and I watered my plants with 4 1/2 gallons. Oh well. If I didn't water we wouldn't have gotten the rain. The fabric bags makes watering easier. The wind will dry out the medium. We do have some rain in the forecast. A pallet fell over and knocked my 5 gal bucket with tje auto into a 10 gal seedling but it held the pallet up and didn't damage anything. Out of all the ways it coyldve landed it landed just right to not hurt anything. Everything is super healthy. I do have some random pest damage but it's minimal. I'll decide whether to use a spray or not. Didn't take pictures this morning. Was pressed for time. 7/7 Super hot even at 8a.m. Rained the majority of the day yesterday. Plants are getting HUGE. I'm going to have to build a second round of supports and should probably start some LSTing. They seem to like growing natural how they are (besides the original topping and FIMed. You can tell these are ALL very high % indicas. I'm seeing pistols spitting out everywhere. Event horizon and sherb cake seem to be in the lead. The seedlings have realky taken off. The one I put in the 50 has fan leaves the size of my hands. 7/8 Wow it has been extremely hot. It's going to be in the 90's again today. Checked my plants and it seems the GMOs seem to be using more water. Those bags were a little lighter. Seeing how there is no rain in for a few days I had to water. WATERED 3 1/2 GALLONS. LAST SEEDLING FINALLY SHOWED AS A FEMALE. 7/9 Bags are still heavy. Found ONE jpn beetle this morning. Plants seem to be bigger everytime I look.starying the stretch and spitting out some pistols. I took some pics of the pistles. I'll update 7/10 should've started a new week but I didn't. I'll make next week six days. Plants are starting ro stretch. Minor random pest damage but woth the heat they need lots of water. Noticed a couple dead interior leaves so I should probably go through everything and defoliate. I need to add another layer of supports as well.

Looking nice 👍 I will transplant into 19 l this week Could this b3 the rarest of rare ? Is this the triauanna plant ? 🌱 OMG IT COULD BE THE ONE Before everyone tells me how wonderful they’ve had a triple Leaf before , that might be the case but you’ve never had a triple Stem structure , EVERYONE has had the plant with three primary leaves , that grow funny , and end up normal , if thus is a true triuanna plant it’s so strong 💪 we will see Change reservoir Fridays 75 cm away from SF4000 30 cm away from SF1000

Loving the plagron Plagron nutrients always a happy grower

Holaa 🐴 Lets continue this Journey. Day 3 and Rose looks good. Sprouted in 4 days. Cap was a bit tight but little push and girl was ready to go. Seed worked just like seeds should work 👌 I have now 100% germination with KANNABIA seeds 😅 Added also mighty humidifier for more equal start. Raised it from ~40% to ~50%. Out temperature sensor is in tank so basicly soil/water temperature.

Week 3 Veg Update, (Please see the following) Both Plants ( Seedsman -Critical +2.0 - Blimburn (Applefritter) Thus far both plants are coming along nicely WIll be using Bud clip bender this week to utilize PPF light usage. *Mid-Week Update* Introduced CaliMagic this week LST and Bud clipped Light Defoliation Introduced Element Nutrient (Flower Fuel) 1 week until early Flower. *End of week recap* 08/21 Light Defoliation Bud Clip tie down Thus far all is running smoothly, No changes from above.

^^Now moment is retime 12/12 & SCROG. The second branch is equal in thickness to the main one and this pleases! Defoliation 60 % of the green mass>>

Thanks @SweetSeeds for the development of this strain. I’m absolutely in love with the color of this one, I never imagined we would see anything other than slight purple. I’m gonna be growing this strain and 9 others at the same time. 3 Dark Devils will be germinated to grow with my 6 Mephisto. I also ordered some Red Poison Auto to do in my next grow. Day 3: I don’t think they liked the ghetto dish setup I have for them at all. Ready to transplant to air pots Day 7: New Grow Room I’m pumped!

Hi guys! This is my first grow ever. For this round I'll have 2 Northern Light Auto from WeedSeedShop (WSS). I'm so psych. 😝😁 I'm making the most off the current situation by realizing a long lasting dream off mine. For your knowledge, I'm using a 60x60x160cm grow tent, 2 small fan, an 220m^3/h extractor (220/280) with a 400m^3/h Bull Filter. I'm also using a humidifier for day time and a dehumidifier for night time. The germination pots I used are 7x7x7cm. For the monitoring, I have a low cost meteo station with a remote sensor which is in my grow tent. I'll use BioBizz and GHE for my nuts and BioBizz Light Mix for the substrate. I'm planning to reuse it for my garden on my future grow. I bought an anaerobic composter to this effect. I hope to make around 2 ounce. Take care. Stay safe and masked.😷

This week is full of stretch, and unfortunately didn't train early enough. Instead of toping now, used Budclips to bend the main cola but didn't seem to do much. Yellowing on lower leaves so increasing nutrient dosage a bit. The Gorilla strains seem to always be more hungry for nutrients

3♧week

Short one start week 6 week 7 for the tall one!
