The plant is growing very good i dont see any problems. I started with the LST training and cut 1 branch of wich wouldnt get much light.

there is a significant increase in growth after bending the upper cola, as compared with the sativa, the WB grows and blooms much faster, very grateful to your advice, everything is clearly illuminated, on the next allotment I think to add some ice and shed everything with cold water, the flavor is very strong, for three days I made leaf clippings on the lower part of the plant, fertilized 2-3 times a week, I try to add less than the specified norm, I don’t feel like leaves, I feel as you can see it’s not very bad, I feel this variety will be closer to the harvest than the neighboring sativa, it pleases, and I feel the harvest will not be bad) Well, we are waiting for 7 weeks, wish me luck)

So despite many obstacles and hurdles, we are on the last week of flowering hopefully the heat stays down for the next few days, and I can get some color into these nugs the sativa Room may need a few more weeks no big deal. This is typical of sativa leaning strains. this will give me a bit of a stagger in between harvest so I don’t have to do all the work in one day which is a good thing .

The sixth week is over! This girl is taking it easy, while becoming more and more beautiful. Pistils, pistils everywhere, as Buzz would say. The prospects are really excellent. This week she grew to 83 cm and drank a total of 3.5 L, 2.5 with nutrients and 1 L of water only. The lamp is now fixed at 30 cm at 100%. Week seven is coming! Show us some calyxes, girl!

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis stretch 15 centimètres (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common.

First week of seedlings just about done. Seedlings emerged by March 8th or 9th. Going great so far, 6/6 alive, one sort of okay. Fox Farm Happy Frog base soil. Aiming to keep best 4 for a Scrog, only have max 150cm height in the tent (low basement). Aiming for VPD around 0.6 to 0.7.

Permanent Bluez about half way thru flower and she’s a beautiful specimen, long thick buds , sticky to the touch and throwing out an inch of pistols every week . Smells really sweet . She’s coming home very nicely.

Leaves are fading and seeing some frost coming in more and more every day.The buds are packing on a little more weight and putting off a sweet aroma in the air.I have increased the light up to 70 percent intensity and we will see how they do.

- slowly increasing nutrient doses toward prescripted BioBizz chart quantities, but still, every second and a half watering is pure water :)

Aug 3: still going strong starting the third week of flowering. I’m putting her in the garage at 9 pm, doing the 730 nm far red light to put plant into dark mode 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So 10+ 2 h is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight or a 26 h day. The far red light definitely works as a bloom booster and helps the plants finish faster when the sun is stronger. Did morning foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Aug 4: always some defoliation to be done and I took out all the small stuff that was growing into the centre. If I had a longer season I could have left some of these small branches but I want the energy directed toward the prime bud sites. Also removing leaves makes it more stable in the wind. Yet another growing trade-off. Aug 5: she looks great coming out of the dark garage this morning. Lots of colas with lots of buds 👍👍 Aug 6: added UV lights from AC Infinity. This far north we run out of strong sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. By adding UV lights, this will make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. Along with genetics, UV light is the main factor controlling trichome and THC production. Adding UV light for a couple of hours per day centred at peak sun (currently 1:39 pm) should help a lot this far north. At the other end of the light spectrum, I use Forever Green Indoor (FGI) 730 nm far red light. This is the third season using the far red light as a bloom booster and it definitely works. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes to put the plant into dark mode two hours faster, and is like getting a 26 h day. Bud ripen earlier and therefore under stronger sun. Both of these lights are low power LED used for a few hours (UV) or just a few seconds (far red). Gotta love science and technology when it allows us to figure this kind of out.

Nun, in der letzten Woche ist Einiges passiert: Beide Pflanzen wurden in ihre 11 l. Stofftöpfe umgepflanzt und in der Mitte der Woche getoppt. Sie haben es sehr gut vertragen und erfreuen mich mit ihrem Wachstum. Überhaupt sind es sehr schöne Pflanzen mit ihren violetten Blattstielen und den hellgrün- und dunkelgrünen Blättern. Gedüngt wurde nicht, da die neue Pflanzenerde erst einmal genügend Dünger bereit hält. Aber dann habe ich die Blumat Tropfer für die automatische Bewässerung in Betrieb genommen und nun sammelt sich überschüssiges Wasser in der Bodenwanne, was den anderen Stecklingen sehr zugute kommt. So war es aber nicht gedacht. Die genaue Einstellung der automatischen Blumat-Bewässerung ist etwas, dass ich zum ersten Male durchführe, habe also noch keinerlei Erfahrung darin und das Ergebnis sehe ich nun. Immerhin habe ich in den Stofftöpfen eine Drainage eingebaut, sodass die Wurzeln nicht geschädigt werden. Die Stecklinge scheinen das überschüssige Wasser zu lieben. die beiden großen hinteren Pflanzen, sind Mutterpflanzen, die ich seit August am Leben gehalten habe, darunter eine Divine-Seeds Fractal-Mutter, für die immer noch kein Ergebnis im Wettbewerb zur Verfügung steht 😒. Meine automatische Steuerung sieht etwas chaotisch aus, ich hoffe das noch in den Griff zu bekommen.😜 Leider kann ich keinen genauen Wasserverbrauch angeben, da das Wasser direkt aus der Wasserleitung kommt und nicht aus einem höhergestellten Behälter, ich vermute der Wasserverbrauch liegt z.Zt. bei 50-100 ml, ist aber nur eine Schätzung. Ich wünsche euch eine weitere erfolgreiche Grow-Woche und bedanke mich dafür, dass ihr meinen Report besucht habt. Ich nehme sehr gerne Tips zur Blumat Steuerung entgegen....

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 6 (Flowering) 🌱 Elegance Never Needs to Be Loud Some plants impress with sheer size. Others with explosive growth. Pink Rosay has chosen a different path. She impresses through elegance. Growing under the same 12/12 From Seed experiment as the rest of the 8×8 Adventure, she continues to prove that a plant doesn't need to be the tallest or widest to command attention. Standing at 96 cm, she has developed into a beautifully proportioned autoflower with a naturally balanced structure, excellent symmetry, and a calm confidence that becomes more obvious every week. There isn't a single branch that feels out of place. Everything seems perfectly positioned, as though nature designed her with precision from the very beginning. Sometimes beauty isn't about being dramatic. Sometimes it's simply about getting everything right. ⸻ 🌸 Week 6 – Flowers Taking the Lead This week marks a noticeable change in the plant's priorities. The vertical stretch has begun slowing, allowing more energy to be invested where it matters most—building flowers. Every branch is now crowned with bright white pistils, and the individual flower sites that appeared last week have already started connecting together, giving each branch the first hints of what will eventually become full colas. The canopy feels alive. Every day brings a little more volume, a little more stacking, and a little more character. This is the stage where the plant quietly shifts from growing upward to growing outward, filling every flowering site with new life. And Pink Rosay seems perfectly comfortable making that transition. ⸻ 🌿 Structure & Natural Balance One of my favorite qualities about this phenotype is just how naturally balanced she has become. The gentle Low Stress Training performed during the previous weeks continues paying dividends, creating an open canopy where every branch receives excellent light without feeling overcrowded. Her internodal spacing remains ideal, allowing light and airflow to reach deep into the plant while giving each future cola plenty of room to develop. The central leader remains dominant, but the secondary branches are doing an excellent job keeping pace, creating a wonderfully uniform canopy that should translate into a very satisfying harvest later on. She doesn't need correcting. She simply needs time. ⸻ ? The Language of White Pistils One of the most beautiful sights in any flowering room is the explosion of fresh white pistils. They're delicate. They're bright. And they're the plant's first true declaration that flower production is fully underway. This week, Pink Rosay is absolutely covered in them. Every flowering site seems to wear its own little crown of brilliant white hairs, reaching outward as the calyxes slowly begin stacking beneath them. It's one of those moments every grower enjoys because those tiny white pistils are much more than beautiful—they're the blueprint of the harvest to come. Today they're soft, fresh, and full of energy. Over the coming weeks they'll guide the formation of every cola as the flowers swell, mature, and gradually begin revealing the frosty character hidden inside these genetics. Watching that transformation never gets old. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be outstanding throughout the entire plant. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green without excess or deficiency, while the leaves display excellent posture and remain perfectly relaxed under the current environmental conditions. The stems have thickened nicely during the stretch and now provide a solid framework for the flowers that continue developing across the canopy. There are no signs of stress. No unnecessary stretching. No wasted energy. Just a healthy autoflower confidently following her own schedule. ⸻ 💧 Hand Watering & Nutrition Pink Rosay continues to be hand-watered, allowing close observation of both substrate moisture and daily plant response. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 The nutrient balance remains right where the plant wants it, supporting the transition from vigorous growth into full flower production while keeping the foliage healthy and vibrant. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing exactly the consistency these genetics deserve. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 529 ppm Maintaining a stable environment allows each phenotype to express its genetics naturally, and Pink Rosay is taking full advantage of those conditions. Healthy roots. Stable climate. Happy plants. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead The coming week should be where the flowers truly begin to gain substance. The framework has been built. Now it's time for the calyxes to start swelling, for the pistils to multiply even further, and for each flowering site to slowly merge into the colas that have been quietly preparing since the stretch began. If she continues on this path, I expect a canopy filled with beautifully shaped, evenly developed flowers from top to bottom. Everything about her suggests she's only just beginning to reveal what she's capable of. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Pink Rosay continues to remind me that perfection isn't always measured in size. Sometimes it's found in balance. In symmetry. In healthy growth. In the quiet confidence of a plant that simply does everything well. Week after week, she has developed without drama, without setbacks, and with a grace that's difficult to ignore. Watching those brilliant white pistils multiply across such a beautifully structured canopy has easily been one of this week's highlights, and I'm incredibly excited to see how these early flowers transform over the coming weeks. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these fantastic genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps this project thriving, Future of Grow for the incredible lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing make this 8×8 Adventure even more rewarding. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Another week is over, I couldn't update it before because I think the site was having problems... but anyway, the last photos were from June 8th and it's time to harvest. The smell is great and the flowers are very resinous despite being small! Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱

I removed one of the Mango Lassi plants because it was a hermie. I have one more Mango Lassi in a smaller pot. The Serious Kush looks really healthy.

What a week, the Amnesia Haze from Divine Seeds continues to pack on flower and is honestly worth the wait for weight if you know what i mean 😉 she is currently going through her flush period and will luckily make it for atleast a week of drying and two weeks of curing before competition time, wish she had more time but unfortunately the glory of holding one of the first East Coast Canna Cup Trophies is the goal at hand and we get the feeling that she is without a doubt a cup winner. 29th April is D Day, wish us luck till then everyone
