Just let it grow...

Glue31 - Compound Genetics Day 19 - watered with 0.5L of water with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pH'd to 6.3... She is growing vigorously and is already the same hight as the other plants in the tent! I removed one fan leaf to improve light, but other than that, I'm just letting her grow 🙏🏻

Week 2 - Passion Fruitz 🌴🍍🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining this diary for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Most cultivars in this adventure are being documented as individual Pheno A and Pheno B diaries so each expression can be followed separately from seed to harvest. Passion Fruitz is the exception. And that’s entirely my fault. ⸻ A Quick Recap Originally, this cultivar was intended to have two plants like the rest of the project. Unfortunately, during the earliest stages of the run, one seedling never made it past the starting line. Looking back, the most likely cause was overwatering during the initial seedling phase. No excuses. Just a lesson. Growing plants is one of the best teachers of humility because mistakes happen to all of us. The important part is learning from them and moving forward. Fortunately, one Passion Fruitz seedling survived, and what started as a setback is quickly turning into one of the most exciting plants in the room. Sometimes all it takes is one healthy plant to tell the whole story. ⸻ Week 2 Overview The entire 8×8 Adventure continues progressing nicely as the plants move deeper into vegetative growth. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Lighting intensity was gradually increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s as the young plants continue demanding more energy. Watering remained consistent: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Week-ending nutrient values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire room continues responding positively to the environment and feeding program. ⸻ Passion Fruitz – The Comeback Story If there is one word that summarizes this plant right now, it would be: Resilient. After losing her sister early, this lone survivor has continued pushing forward week after week. And honestly? She looks fantastic. The structure is clean. The leaves are beautifully formed. The color is rich and healthy. And the overall posture of the plant radiates confidence. This is exactly the kind of growth that makes growers smile when opening the tent each morning. ⸻ Loving the Transplant One thing that became very clear this week is how much this plant appreciated the transplant. Last week’s move into the final container appears to have been received extremely well. Rather than slowing down, the plant responded with renewed vigor and noticeably improved growth. Leaf size increased. New growth accelerated. Overall health improved. The plant simply looks comfortable. And when a plant looks comfortable, growers usually know things are moving in the right direction. ⸻ Mycorrhizae at Work Another encouraging observation is the response following the introduction of mycorrhizal fungi. While we obviously can’t see what’s happening beneath the soil surface, the visible growth above ground suggests that the underground partnership is developing nicely. Mycorrhizae create a relationship between plant roots and beneficial fungi, effectively helping the root system explore a larger volume of substrate. The result can be improved nutrient uptake, better water access, and stronger overall establishment. Again, we can’t directly credit every leaf to the fungi. But we can say this: Passion Fruitz looks incredibly happy. And that’s always a good sign. ⸻ Plant Development This week the plant continued building a balanced and attractive structure. The node spacing remains pleasant. The leaf development is symmetrical. Growth appears consistent from one side of the plant to the other. Unlike some of her wonderfully quirky neighbors, Passion Fruitz seems determined to demonstrate textbook development. Every new set of leaves emerges larger than the last while maintaining healthy shape and color. She may be growing alone, but she certainly doesn’t look lonely. ⸻ The Importance of Keeping Records Because Passion Fruitz is our only representative of this cultivar, I thought this week would be a perfect opportunity to talk about something that often gets overlooked: Documentation. One of the most valuable tools in any grow room isn’t a light. It isn’t a nutrient bottle. It isn’t even a tent. It’s information. A simple calendar and a small whiteboard can become incredibly powerful tools. They help track: • Germination dates • Watering schedules • Feeding schedules • EC and pH changes • Transplant dates • Environmental adjustments • Flowering transitions • Observations and notes When problems appear, records help identify causes. When success happens, records help repeat it. Memory is wonderful. Written notes are better. The larger the project becomes, the more valuable those records become. This is just my personal approach, of course. Everyone should develop the workflow that works best for them. But I genuinely believe that a calendar and a whiteboard are among the most underrated tools in any garden. ⸻ Room Life The room continues operating smoothly and providing a stable environment for growth. This week’s photos also captured some of the everyday details that make documenting a grow enjoyable: • Room-wide views • Equipment monitoring • Environmental management • Nutrient preparation • Water reflections and lighting effects And of course… Mr. Baggy remains employed. Current responsibilities include: • Security patrols • Plant inspections • Morale management • Looking suspiciously important in photographs • Supervising absolutely everything His performance reviews remain excellent. ⸻ Looking Ahead Next week should bring another noticeable jump in size. Expected developments include: • Larger fan leaves • Faster vegetative growth • Increased root establishment • Stronger stem development • More vigorous canopy expansion • Continued adaptation to the final container If the current trend continues, Passion Fruitz could become one of the surprise stars of this entire run. And honestly, she’s already making a very convincing argument. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been a fantastic week for Passion Fruitz. Yes, she began this journey alone after her sister failed to establish. Yes, that was a lesson learned. But sometimes setbacks become part of the story. And this plant is turning that story into something special. Healthy. Vigorous. Balanced. Beautiful. The transplant appears to have been a success. The mycorrhizae seem to be doing their job. And the plant continues rewarding patience with excellent growth. A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all the partners helping make this adventure possible. And as always, thank you to the community. Your support, encouragement, shared experiences, and willingness to learn together are what make these diaries worth creating. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. Growers Love DD 🌴🍍🌱💚

C and D dont seem to be doing much growing. E is doing well. Fruit flies are still around. Bought a fly sticky trap last night so hopefully that works. Not an easy thing to find when its snowing outside.

Seeds were directly off the mother plant, soaked in water for 24 hours. They were pretty slow to popping and required me to use my fingertips to pop them gently. After that it was 100% successful.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

New movie of the girl and a new pic of the grow room from now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

Don’t have real Stretch. How i expected. I defoliate her because the tiny Buds at the Sides don’t have Light. Now we can see what hangs on it 🙂👌🏼 Just added 1,6ml Calmag this Week

Plant A (left side) started pushing through the medium first after 48 hours. Plant B germinated successfully at 96hrs but due to cold climate and moisture in the seed the seed got too cold and turned to mush. At 96hrs Plant A had reached 1.25" and had started to spread the first set of leaves. It is now approximately 2" tall and the first fan leaves are about 1/3" long. Growth is steady and effortless for this girl. So far the self watering set up, grow light, and medium have been treating plant A great. After 60hrs she became fully exposed. Plant B germinated as stated before and died, Plant C was planted 5 days into the germination week of Plant A. No pre-soak, just dry seeds dropped directly into the medium. Miracle Grow myth has so far been proven wrong (performance organics, not regular potting soil). In addition to the set up, I found a water bottle diffuser I have on a 6hr rotation (6 on and 6 off) that I found for $9USD at a grocery outlet. Humidity now steady at 31% on the gauge and about 65% Relative Humidity. Temps sit steady around 68-71°F. Shooting for 360g or 180g from each plant utilizing LST. We are seeing if organic miracle grow has enough nutes for an autoflower, with 3 months of nutrients as stated from the bag it should end up timing out perfectly for harvest time with no flushing needed as nutrients will already be used up.

It's very hot today, It's clover must be covered not microbes die by sunlight.

White LSD Auto Feminized Seeds by MSNL 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W10 F9 8/31- 9/6 8/31 I did some pics and trichome checks. The trichomes show some amber. I think another week. With the lockout resolved, finally White LSD is developing some pinks and oranges in her buds. More pics 9/5. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿, 💫Natrona💫

Watering has jumped up to every 2 days ph 6.3-6.8 with 20% runoff Flower Fuel has been added to AP,GG and ZK watering's. Lights have been lowered to 24-28 inches. White Widow just started flower at end of the week. Still waiting on the Cream Cookie. Doing light Defoliation to expose bud sites to the lights.

The Fruits Baby are starting to come in nicely I have the lights at 500 watts going to wait for them to get Juicy and bulk up the lights and the feed intake!! Excited for the weeks to come. On a side note I am doing this run to see what really works best I know I will get the hydro dialed in and start doing the magic it always does, I am just super surprised the living soil is like a slow and steady and just always steady getting bigger and bigger it was a little slower but in flower its doing great and exploding.

It is still hot here, even though it is a tad cooler. The leaves still show some unhappiness. The buds have grown beautifully fat and do now boast some impressive size. The buds are getting too heavy and I had to add some support. It smells very fresh and citrusy, like grapefruit. I love the smell. I´ll start checking the trichomes now...

Aug 16th week 2 PH = 6.2 PPM = 940 Aug 18th PH = 6.2 PPM = 940 Aug 22nd She is growing great

Tricky situation with these as one Hermed so isolated them and let them finish! Still got an amazing result! Can’t actually wait to try these 2! One had fruity and spicy aromas and the other was dank like a deep kushy smell too it!

12/11/20 - Was slightly worried I had flipped too early, but the screen is filling out nicely!

Next Week i will start 12/12 (Flowering Stage).

Hey Friends, end of week 7 from seed Plant#1 is growing big, its almost at the point i might need to purchase a bigger grow tent because its getting closer to the light and theres not much room left. - Increased the Amount of nutrition - In the beginning of the week, I increased the light to 250 lux x100 but after the 9th hr I saw a change in the plant, it looked very sad and the color was beginning to bleach so I decided to increase the light wattage for only 6 hrs at 250 Lux x100 and then 6 hrs at 150. So far its working, I will try to increase the light each day so the plant adapts to it. Thanks for all the support, will keep you guys updated, see you next week! Will buy some netting, “SCROG” Training for week 8
