She’s bulking up and smelling nice! Couple more weeks and I’ll be in Blueberry heaven! I added some Cha-ching this week and I’ll be flushing from here.

Bud sites started to appear everywhere, plants are looking healthy and are still stretching a bit. I've decided to add x2 infrared strips to the lighting setup, in order to improve the spectrum for blooming and trigger the emerson effect (infrared 15 mins before full darkness). I did notice in the past that infrared before darkness helps a lot and speed up the whole flowering process. I started to add some "Organic Bloom" to my soup. Various phenotypes are showing their traits, some plants are true sativas, others are more hybrids. I'm going to bet that the most sativas will take a few more weeks to finish. Stay tuned!

Simply put I am so very pleased with the way this plant has performed my only worry is how to properly dry and cure this magnificent specimen

So I have spider mites. I screwed up so much i think this is going 15 weeks. Lost coast to the rescue! time to finish these buggers off

Budding nice but very weak smell. Very shiny. 1 in the corner looks like she is almost finished but very yellow leaves. Other 3 are doing fine.

2/4: Photo session day! Both of these girls do seem to be mostly sativa, as billed. The have a very pungent aroma..not quite normal. I removed most of the lower fan leaves. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls aren't stretching much, but continue to spend energy on their lower branches. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

🍪🍨 Biscotti x Gelato 🍨🍪 🌱 Woche 10 – 02.09.2026 🌱 Nun sind wir bereits am Anfang der 10. Woche angekommen. Anfangs hätte ich ehrlich gesagt nicht gedacht, dass sich der Run so lange ziehen würde. Durch das intensive LST und das SCROG-Binden denke ich allerdings, dass die Pflanze etwas hinter ihrem ursprünglichen Zeitplan liegt. Dafür entwickeln sich die Buds aktuell wirklich beeindruckend weiter und legen noch einmal ordentlich an Masse zu. Die Entwicklung ist mittlerweile sogar so stark, dass sich ein großer Hauptbud durch sein eigenes Gewicht zur Seite gebogen hat. Ich habe ihn deshalb direkt fixiert, denn einen abgebrochenen Hauptbud möchte man kurz vor dem Ziel natürlich unbedingt vermeiden. Seit etwa 5–6 Tagen bekommt die Biscotti x Gelato nur noch Wasser. Interessant zu beobachten ist, wie sie seitdem langsam ihre eingelagerten Nährstoffe aus den Blättern zieht. Dadurch beginnt im Zelt immer mehr der Herbst einzusetzen und die Blätter verändern sich sichtbar. 🌿🍂 Bei den Trichomen werde ich vermutlich noch etwa 1–2 Wochen warten, bevor ich die Ernte einleite. Die Buds werden dabei immer frostiger und entwickeln genau diese schöne Harzschicht, die ich mir von Anfang an erhofft hatte. ❄️🍪 Insgesamt legt die Biscotti x Gelato trotz der teilweise wirklich heftigen Bedingungen eine hervorragende Entwicklung hin. Zeitweise hatten wir massive Hitzebelastung und eine Luftfeuchtigkeit von gerade einmal 39 %. Umso beeindruckender finde ich, wie robust sich diese Genetik bisher zeigt. Aber ehrlich gesagt bin ich von Green House Seeds mittlerweile auch nichts anderes gewohnt. 😎🌱 Was nach diesem Run kommt, steht aktuell noch nicht ganz fest. Vielleicht hat Green House Seeds ja erneut Lust, sich an meinen nächsten Diarys zu beteiligen. An dieser Stelle möchte ich mich deshalb auch noch einmal herzlich für die letzten 2–3 Grows bedanken, bei denen die Seeds aus deren Seedbank stammten. Die Genetik hat mich bisher wirklich überzeugt. 💚 Natürlich auch ein großes Dankeschön an alle, die meine Diarys verfolgen, kommentieren und mit ihren Likes unterstützen. Eure Beteiligung macht das Ganze erst richtig interessant! 🙏 Bis zum nächsten Eintrag! 🌱 Happy Growing Euer Cangrowz 💚?

Amazing trichomes production on the blackwater from original sensible seeds. Week 8 just passed and she seems to be ready for harvest. We are chopping her very very soon!

02 October 2018 - Day 99 3rd day of flush and we see her begin to grow nicely. Day 100 - Happy lady as she gets densier and begins to really smell. Day 101 - She is maturing lovely. Day 102 - Orange pistols curl. She is on her way. Day 103 - Mature and ready. has thickened up significantly. Day 104 - Water topped up and pH balanced 5.4 Day 105 - Trimmed after the video.

Day 35 - This lady is growing very strong & already getting frosty! Is showing a few signs of deficiencies so I’ll be giving her a bit of nutrients to see if that help! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🙏🏼🌱

Hey everyone 😀. Another veggie week goes by and they are developing surprisingly well 😃. Both phenotypes look very nice and have a perfect leaf green. Both were topped again. I wish you lots of fun with the update, and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

44oz of plant food mix is given to 5 plants (3- Colombian Gold, 2- Grandaddy Purple). All 3 of the Alcapulco Gold plants are still receiving pH balanced water- no nutrients. They’re measuring 10” tall. Colombian Gold and Grandaddy Purple measurements range from: 12.5”-18.5”

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 10 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Some plants fight for attention. Some plants demand it. Some plants seem determined to become the biggest, loudest personality in the entire room. And then there is Candy Rain. Our solo survivor. The girl who started this adventure simply because she was the one who remained... and somehow, week after week, she keeps becoming more beautiful. At this point, I don't even know if "survivor" is still the right word. Because she isn't just surviving anymore. She's thriving. And honestly? This girl is becoming glamorous. 🍬✨ 🍬 The Solo Survivor Has Her Own Role I've said it before, and I'm probably going to say it again... I really like the role this girl has taken in the 8×8 Adventure. She's not trying to compete with anybody. She's not trying to become the tallest. She's not demanding constant attention. She's not creating problems for me to solve. She's simply doing her own thing. And she's doing it beautifully. That's probably what I appreciate most about her. She has developed her own personality within this experiment, and at this stage, my job is becoming wonderfully simple: Provide. Observe. Document. That's it. She knows what she's doing. 😂💚 🌿 Deep Green Beauty The first thing that catches my attention this week is the colour. Those deep greens are absolutely beautiful. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the plant look incredibly alive. And when you put that deep green foliage together with the developing flowers, the contrast becomes gorgeous. She's got that elegant appearance I really enjoy photographing. Not chaotic. Not overly complicated. Just... beautiful. There's something about a plant that looks comfortable in its environment. And that's exactly how Candy Rain looks to me right now. Comfortable. Established. Confident. And completely herself. ✨ She's Doing Her Own Thing One of the biggest lessons from this entire 8×8 Adventure continues to be that plants don't follow our expectations. We can give them the same room. The same lighting. The same environmental conditions. The same general feeding strategy. The same irrigation philosophy. And then... they decide what they're going to become. Candy Rain decided to become Candy Rain. And I couldn't be happier about it. She's not trying to imitate another phenotype. She's not trying to match anybody else's timing. She's following her own rhythm. And at Week 10, that rhythm is looking very good. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Moving Forward The flowering development continues to progress beautifully. The flower structures are becoming increasingly established, and the plant is clearly moving further into this later stage of flowering. The photographs show those developing flowers surrounded by that beautiful deep green foliage. And that's one of the things I really enjoy about this stage. We're no longer looking at a plant simply beginning to flower. We're watching the work from all those previous weeks become increasingly visible. The branches have their flowers. The flowers have their structure. The plant has its character. And now... we wait. We provide. And we watch. ❄️ The Details Keep Getting Better This is also the point in the run where photography becomes especially rewarding. From a distance, Candy Rain is simply a beautiful flowering plant. But get closer... and there is another world happening. The developing flower structures. The pistils. The calyxes. The resin. The textures. The little details that you simply don't appreciate from across the room. This is why I keep coming back with the camera. Every week gives me another reason to get closer. And Candy Rain is giving me plenty of reasons. 🍬📸 🌿 No Need to Force Anything One thing remains very clear with this girl: I'm not looking for reasons to interfere. She's not asking for major intervention. She's not showing me a structure that needs to be completely changed. She's not demanding that I redesign her. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's developing. So why would I try to turn her into something else? This is one of those moments where the grower has to know when to step back. Sometimes cultivation is about action. Sometimes cultivation is about restraint. And right now? I'm choosing restraint. Let her do her thing. 💚 Provide. Observe. Enjoy. I think this is probably the simplest way I can describe where we are with Candy Rain. We provide. Water. Nutrition. Light. A stable environment. And support when necessary. We observe. The flowers. The foliage. The structure. The maturation. The changes from week to week. And then... we enjoy it. Because what's the point of doing all this if we don't stop occasionally and appreciate what the plants are giving us? Candy Rain is giving me a beautiful plant. A beautiful story. And honestly... a beautiful reason to smile every time I open the tent. 🍬💚✨ 🌱 One Survivor. One Story. For anyone joining the diary now, the Candy Rain story is a little different from the others. She is the solo survivor from her seed pack in this experiment. What began as an accident became an opportunity. And that opportunity became one of the plants I now genuinely look forward to documenting every week. That's one of the funny things about growing. You don't always know which plant is going to become special to you. Sometimes it's the biggest. Sometimes it's the strangest. Sometimes it's the one that gives you the hardest time. And sometimes... it's the one that simply keeps getting better. Candy Rain has become that girl. 💡 The 8×8 Adventure Continues And of course, Candy Rain remains part of the bigger experiment. For anyone discovering the project for the first time: We're growing twelve different plants together under the same general ecosystem. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same environmental strategy. Same general nutritional approach. Same grower. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And that's what makes the comparison so interesting. The environment gives them the opportunity. Genetics decide how they express it. Candy Rain's expression has been one of balance, elegance and consistency. And at Week 10... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Still Just Giving Her What She Needs The feeding strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required Current recorded solution strength is approximately 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. Watering remains approximately 1.25 L per plant / 24h. Nothing dramatic. No special recipe. No complicated intervention. We're simply providing what she needs and letting her continue doing what she's been doing so well. And visually? She's answering beautifully. 🌡️ Current Conditions Current recorded conditions for Week 10: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 90 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.25 L per plant / 24h The environment continues to remain consistent. And that consistency is important because it allows us to keep watching the plants themselves rather than constantly wondering whether environmental changes are responsible for every difference. Same stage. Same room. Different expressions. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think this week's photographs capture Candy Rain exactly as she is right now. Beautiful. Elegant. Deep green. Flowering. And completely comfortable being herself. There isn't one dramatic feature that needs to carry the entire story. It's the combination. The plant structure. The foliage. The flowers. The colours. The developing resin. The overall balance. She doesn't need to scream for attention. She just looks good. And sometimes... that's enough. Actually, it's more than enough. 🍬✨ 👑 The Glamorous Survivor I think I've found her new title. Not just the survivor. Not just the elegant survivor. She's becoming the Glamorous Survivor. 😂🍬✨ Because look at her. She made it through the beginning. She established herself. She developed her structure. She entered flowering. She kept her beautiful foliage. She kept moving. And now she's standing there looking increasingly refined. She's not trying to be the queen of the room. She's not fighting anybody for the crown. She's just... glamorous. And I absolutely love it. 🔮 Looking Ahead At this point, there isn't much I want to change. And that's actually a wonderful place to be. I'll continue watching the flowers develop. I'll continue watching the resin. I'll continue monitoring the colour and overall plant health. I'll keep documenting the changes with the camera. And most importantly... I'll let her tell me what comes next. Because Candy Rain has already shown me that she knows how to surprise me. She started as the survivor. Then she became the elegant one. Now she's becoming the glamorous one. Who knows what title she'll earn next? 😂🍬 ✨ Let Her Shine I know I'm repeating myself. But honestly... sometimes repetition is deserved. She's amazing. She's beautiful. She's doing her own thing. She's maintaining those gorgeous deep greens. She's developing her flowers. She's moving toward maturity. And she isn't asking for much. So what am I supposed to do? I'm going to give her what she needs. I'm going to keep watching. I'm going to keep photographing. And I'm going to enjoy the hell out of watching this girl finish her story. Candy Rain doesn't need me to make her shine. She's already doing that. I'm just making sure nothing gets in her way. 🍬💚✨ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 10. And our solo survivor continues to impress me. She's not the loudest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She's not the most demanding. She's not trying to become something she isn't. She's simply... Candy Rain. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Flowering beautifully. Developing her frost. Moving toward maturity. And doing it all in her own rhythm. That is probably what I appreciate most about her. She doesn't need a dramatic story every week. Her story is simply: she keeps getting better. And sometimes, that's the best story of all. The girl who was simply lucky enough to remain... became a plant I genuinely love watching. The solo survivor. The elegant survivor. And now... the glamorous survivor. 🍬✨👑 Let's make her shine. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another reminder of why this 8×8 Adventure has become such a fascinating journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these experiments, compare plants and share what we learn. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind our Candy Rain survivor. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering the main lighting environment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting into the canopy and giving us another interesting variable to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person stopping by to watch these plants develop. It all makes this adventure even more enjoyable. And Candy Rain? She'll keep doing what Candy Rain does. She'll keep growing. She'll keep flowering. She'll keep shining. And I'll keep providing what she needs while she writes the rest of her story. The solo survivor is still here. Still beautiful. Still glamorous. Still doing her own thing. And honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way. 🍬💚✨ Growers Love, my friends! 🌱💚

Keeping these lady's happy is cake walk at the moment. Just keep trucking away. Still just doing declorinated water at 5.6 PH right now. Will start doing a weak feeding in a few days. These girls all progressing about the same they will start to kick it up now here in second week. The twins are just a touch behind the other 3 I sopose because it is feeding 2 plants. Curious to see what happens here. Stay up
