Hello everybody :) End of the tenth week of flowering. Power Plant already harvest at day 69 Wild Thailand and Critical Haze gets Final Solution - last two waterings only water and harvest - probably another week. SSH, AMG and Pallezino Ghost Train needs aroudn 10 more days so they get their last doses of fertilizers, than Filan Solution and then only water Ghost Train Haze X Pellezino make some fox tails and probably it's in genetics because clones react the same and they are in different medium under different lighting

📆 Semana 8 La maduración se acentúa y los cogollos alcanzan su máxima densidad. Los tricomas pasan a lechoso con algunos ámbar y el aroma se vuelve más intenso. La planta baja la absorción y se centra en rematar calidad y resina. Semana clave de definición final. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

In dieser Woche wurden die Pflanze Entlaubt. Es gibt ein Vorher und Nachher Vergleich.

Semana de cosecha! Al fin el tan esperado momento momento se aproxima y no puede tener una mejor pinta! Realmente he quedado maravillado con la belleza de este fenotipo muy parecido al que promociona el banco en su portal, así que muy satisfecho por eso. Solo esperar a que se seque bien el sustrato y estaremos cosechando estos bellos frutos 🤩😍

She looks amazing the buds are nice and dens, one more week and ready for harvest.

First week so far so good 🌱 Planted and lighty watered for first 2 days when soil was dry 27/11 the 5th day since being planted I fed her 1.5 ml of canna terra vega following the food chart that came with the food 28/11 all still seems good didn’t need to water 29/11 lightly watered 30/11 gave her a bit more water she’s getting bigger and looking good

OMG it's so great to be talking to you about my fast buds tropicana cookies auto, especially since she's doing amazingly well in her 3rd week of flowering! I mean, have you seen her? She's not your average bud type - she's absolutely loaded with trichomes that sparkle like diamonds. I swear, I've never seen anything quite like it. Anyway, towards the end of the week, I noticed that my plant was asking for a bit of defoliation. Now, I know some people might be hesitant to cut away any leaves from their precious plants, but trust me - it's important. By removing some of the excess leaves, you allow for better airflow and light penetration to the lower parts of the plant, which ultimately leads to bigger and better yields. Plus, it can help prevent mold and mildew from forming in the more humid parts of your grow space. Now, I have to give a shoutout to my sponsor, Aptus Holland. Their products have been an absolute game-changer for me when it comes to getting the most out of my grow. In particular, their nutritional regimen has been crucial for keeping my plant healthy and happy throughout all stages of growth. Believe me when I say, a good nutritional plan is key for a successful grow - you can't just rely on good genetics alone. Overall, I'm really excited to see how my fast buds tropicana cookies auto continues to develop in the coming weeks. I'm confident that with the right care and attention, she's going to produce some seriously impressive buds that I'll be proud to show off. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - Fast Buds Tropicana Cookies Auto Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Aug 29 - Sep 04 (Week 17, day 113- day 119) Thank you to the universe ✨. Thank you to the sun 🌞 for providing this year. Thank you to everyone following. The season is going great as you can see from the pictures 🖼️🖼️🖼️. The caterpillars (las orugas 🐛) have not returned--and if they did then they are gone for now. There's just about 5 to 6 weeks to go according to the information on the seed box. Im super excited--by the way--this weed smells like the peel on a ripe mango mixed with orange peels 🍊--it also has that distinct sweet weed smell 🌿 with a little minty and lemony 🍋 mixed in. Ummm. Delicious. 🤤 Gracias al universo ✨. Gracias al sol ☀️ por proveer este año. Gracias a todos siguiendo el diario. Esta temporada va fenomenal por lo que pueden ver en las fotos 🖼️🖼️🖼️. Las orugas (the caterpillars 🐛) no han regresado--y si regresaron, pues ya se fueron por ahorita. Quedan casi seis semanas para cosechar según la información en la cajita de semillas. Estoy súper emocionado--de por si--esta mota huele a la cáscara de un mango maduro mezclado con cáscaras de naranja 🍊--y también tiene ese olor distinto de la mota 🌿 dulce con un poco de menta y limoncito 🍋 mezclado. Ummm. Rico papi. 🤤

Everything is going well. It has been on a 18-6 light cycle for one week. I may have slowed it down by a couple of days by over watering one week ago. I haven't watered since. I gave it some time outside today as I don't have a fan yet for by veg set-up.

YEEEEEEAAAH BOOOOOI, my fabric pot arrived as i expected so i re-potted my baby about 8pm tonight, i used the same CANNA TERRA PRO Soil as before to fill the fabric pot (Soaked it in water then let to drain) and the transplant went smoothly. A video and photo have been uploaded showing it in its forever pot, and i also installed a proper oscillating fan. 14/09 Checked in on the baby this afternoon and looks like shes handled the re-potting just fine which is great news! Everything else is as per usual so will just throw some update photos on. 15/09 Today I checked in on the baby as usual and everything's looking great, she grew a noticeable difference although that's hard to tell in the photos. I gave her a good watering so the humidity came up to 70% for a short time but that's nothing to worry about. Temperature sat around 22 degrees Celsius all day. Photo's show the top and side views for reference. 16/09 Once again the LSD baby grew a nice amount over the day and is looking stout and healthy. The stem is already hardening off and very thick for its short size so i decided to begin to pull her over using LST as i will need to focus on keeping my plant growing low and across due to the space available in my cupboard. Everything went well during the LST so i have put photos up showing what i have done. Temp and humidity is usual. 17/09 Today after work i decided to finally get the mylar roll out and patch the ends of my cupboard as it was pretty rough with tinfoil. I cut out cardboard walls to shape of the existing ends and then lined the edges with carpet tape. I had someone help hold one side and we just placed it down swiftly flat onto the card. This mostly pulled it tight but its not perfect. Other than that, everything's going as per usual and i've uploaded some update photos 18/09 Nothing much to update today, everything's looking good. The weathers been pretty shit so the humidity is up but thats not a worry right now and summer coming up will eliminate that problem. Have updated a couple of photos, basically the plan is to train the plant along the cupboard as low as possible before tipping. This way i can utilize the short spaced cupboard. 19/09 Updated the photos! Everything's looking good, the temperature that is showing is the evening temperature 'which is affected slightly as the cupboard is in a garage. A little low but will only get better as spring comes in. 20/09

The buds are fating up. I removed some leaves which blocked the light for the lower buds. Hope she will be ready soon because I am afraid of mold developing.

From the start to the finish it was an amazing experience with this Jamaican lambsbread , the harvest is awesome I does only 1 month (30 days) of vegetative state !!!!!!!!!

Day 43-49 Using 60g per l soil. They dont stretch that much. So u can really veg them sooo big in my opinion. I didnt but enjoy anyways! I think last week i put net in and out. This time it gets in for sure!

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 12 ✨ The Glamorous Survivor Is Getting Louder and Louder 🍬🔥🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... Our solo survivor has apparently decided that being quiet and elegant was not enough anymore. 😂 She's getting louder. And louder. And louder. 🍬🔥🌸 The stacking is becoming impossible to ignore. The flowers are becoming more substantial. She's continuing to build all over the plant. And every time I look at her, I find another little detail that wasn't quite as obvious the week before. She's beautiful. She's becoming more impressive. And she's definitely making herself heard now. 😂🍬 This is Candy Rain Auto. Our survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our solo girl. And at this point... she's basically saying: "Okay, enough talking. Look at what I'm building." 😂🌸🔥 So... let's look. ──────────────────────── 🍬 WEEK 12 – SHE'S GETTING LOUD ──────────────────────── There are plants that quietly develop. There are plants that suddenly explode. And then there is Candy Rain... who appears to have chosen the middle ground and simply keeps getting louder every single week. 😂 She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing flowers throughout her structure. And the whole plant is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. What I really like is that there isn't just one area doing all the work. The flowering structures are developing throughout the plant. You look at one branch... then another... then another... and there's always something happening. Another flower. Another developing cola. Another little section gaining volume. Another area catching the light. It's becoming a beautiful, continuous story. 🌸🍬🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔥 STACKING, STACKING & MORE STACKING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest thing I notice this week. She's stacking. And she's stacking beautifully. 🌸🔥🌸🔥🌸 The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The structures are getting more substantial. And the plant is starting to look less like a girl who is simply flowering... and more like a girl who has decided: "Right. We're building now." 😂 And I absolutely love watching that transition. Because we've been following this plant from much earlier in the run. We've watched her establish herself. We've watched her flower. We've watched her develop. We've watched the first flowers become larger structures. And now... we're watching those structures continue to stack and gain presence. That's the beauty of doing these weekly diaries. You don't just see a plant. You see the progression. ──────────────────────── 📢 SHE'S GETTING LOUDER ──────────────────────── I keep coming back to that word. Louder. 😂🍬🔥 Because visually... that's exactly how it feels. She's making herself known. The flowers are becoming more obvious. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The overall plant is becoming more substantial. And the closer we get... the more she seems to say: "Hello? Are you looking at me yet?" 😂 Yes, Candy Rain. We are. We definitely are. 🍬👀🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌼 THOSE PISTILS ARE CHANGING ──────────────────────── And now we're starting to see another little part of the story develop. The pistils. 🌼➡️🌸 She's beginning to change their colour. We're starting to see some of that earlier bright, warm appearance evolve. They're no longer all sitting there looking exactly the same. There's a transition happening. And I really enjoy watching this because it's one of those small visual details that becomes much more obvious when you follow the same plant week after week. She's still carrying plenty of green. She's still very much a green girl. But we're beginning to see those little changes developing within the flowers. And that's another reminder that she's moving. She's progressing. She's following her own rhythm. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels forced. She's simply moving along exactly as she seems to want to. 🍬🌼💚 ──────────────────────── 💚 STILL PLENTY OF GREEN ──────────────────────── And yes... there's still a lot of green. 😂🌿 Candy Rain is not suddenly turning into an autumn postcard. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green foliage. And that's perfectly fine. She's still developing. She's still stacking. She's still bulking. She's still doing her thing. I don't want to force the story into some expectation of what she "should" look like at a particular moment. That's one of the things this whole project has taught me. Every plant has its own rhythm. Every phenotype expresses itself differently. And Candy Rain is telling us her story in her own language. So... we watch. We document. We appreciate. And we let her continue. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S FOLLOWING HER OWN RHYTHM ──────────────────────── This girl has never really been interested in following anybody else's schedule. 😂 And I love that. She's moving according to her own rhythm. Not necessarily screaming ahead. Not necessarily taking forever. Just... moving. Perfectly. At her own pace. And I think that's one of the most important things to recognize in a room like this. When you've got twelve different plants sharing one environment, you're going to see different speeds. Different structures. Different expressions. Different reactions. And that's exactly what makes the 8×8 Adventure so interesting. Candy Rain isn't late. She isn't early. She's Candy Rain. 🍬💚 And she's doing Candy Rain things. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE SOLO SURVIVOR HAS BECOME A CHARACTER ──────────────────────── I still think back to how this girl started her story. She was our solo survivor. The one that remained. And somehow... she has evolved into one of the characters I most enjoy following. 😂🍬 At first, the story was simply: "She's still here." Then: "She's growing." Then: "She's flowering." Then: "She's stacking." Then: "She's bulking." And now: "She's getting louder." 😂🔥 That's quite an evolution. She may have started as the survivor... but she's definitely not behaving like a background character anymore. ──────────────────────── 🌸 FLOWERS EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── Look around the plant... flowers. Look again... more flowers. Move closer... even more flowers. 😂🌸 That's what I love about this stage. The plant has developed enough structure that the flowers now tell most of the story. You can see the framework. You can see the branches. You can see the foliage. But your eyes keep getting pulled toward those developing flowering structures. And Candy Rain has plenty of them. She's filling her space beautifully. Not necessarily in some dramatic, explosive way... but consistently. And consistency is beautiful. Week after week. Flower after flower. Stack after stack. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TELLING THE STORY ──────────────────────── Looking at this week's photographs, I really like how clearly the plant's progression comes through. The wider photographs show the overall structure. The closer photographs reveal the individual flowers. And then you get those little details... the pistils. The developing resin. The flower texture. The different stages of development across the plant. It's almost like looking at a little map of where she's been and where she's going. And honestly... I could probably keep photographing her all day. 😂📸 Because every time you change your angle, another flower catches your eye. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME PHOTONS. SAME CANDY RAIN. ──────────────────────── And of course... we have to come back to one of the biggest themes of the 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... different plants. Different genetics. Different expressions. Candy Rain is receiving the same general lighting environment as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're keeping them around: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying depending on canopy height and position. The photons are the same opportunity. But Candy Rain decides what to do with them. And apparently... she wants to make flowers. Lots of flowers. 😂🍬🌸 ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS DOING ITS JOB ──────────────────────── I really like what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this project. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do anything. But because we have more capability. We can create a broader lighting envelope. We can control the output. We can give the room the photons it needs without simply running everything flat out. And then... we observe. That's the interesting part. The light provides the energy. The plants interpret it. And Candy Rain? She's interpreting it beautifully. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing. She's getting louder. 🍬☀️🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 THERE'S NOT MUCH FOR ME TO DO NOW ──────────────────────── And honestly... this is probably the biggest thing I can say about this week. There's not much for me to do. 😂 I'm looking. I'm observing. I'm checking. I'm supporting whatever needs support. I'm adjusting when something actually asks for an adjustment. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because she's doing beautifully. Why would I interfere with something that is already working? The plant has established her structure. The flowering sites are there. The flowers are developing. The stacking is happening. She's progressing. So my role becomes simpler. Observe. Respond. Support. And get out of the way. 🌱💚 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GROWER'S JOB: EXIST ──────────────────────── There comes a point in every grow where the plant basically tells you: "Okay... I've got this." 😂 And Candy Rain is definitely approaching that conversation. She's doing her thing. She's asking for what she needs. And when she does... we respond. But otherwise? I'm just here. Existing. 😂 Watching her. Admiring her. Taking photographs. Writing about her. And occasionally saying: "Well... look at you." 🍬👀🌸 Sometimes growing is incredibly complicated. And sometimes... the best thing you can do is let the plant grow. ──────────────────────── 🌼 THE COLOURS ARE STARTING TO TELL US MORE ──────────────────────── The changing pistils are one of the details I'm particularly interested in watching now. Earlier, those warmer yellowish tones were already giving Candy Rain a unique character. Now we're beginning to see more change. It's subtle. It's gradual. And it's exactly the kind of thing I enjoy documenting. Because this isn't about one photograph. It's about the sequence. Week 10. Week 11. Week 12. And suddenly you can see that little shift. That's the magic of a diary. You capture something that seems tiny today... and a few weeks later, you realize it was part of a much larger transition. 🍬🌼💚 ──────────────────────── ❄️ AND YES... SHE'S STILL FROSTY ──────────────────────── The resin development continues as well. ❄️🍬 She's not finished showing us what she can do. The flowers continue carrying that beautiful frosty character. And combined with the changing pistils and all that green... she's developing a really lovely visual identity. Again... not necessarily the most dramatic plant in the room. Not necessarily the strangest. Not necessarily the biggest. She's simply... Candy Rain. And honestly? That's more than enough. ──────────────────────── 🍬 BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT TRYING TOO HARD ──────────────────────── Maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't look like she's trying. 😂 She just grows. She stacks. She develops. She changes. And somehow... she ends up beautiful. There are plants that look like they were designed for a magazine cover. And then there are plants where you keep watching them week after week and slowly realize: "Wow... I really like this girl." Candy Rain is that kind of plant for me. She's grown on me. Literally. 😂🍬🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔬 SAME ENVIRONMENT – DIFFERENT EXPRESSION ──────────────────────── Again, for anyone discovering this diary for the first time... the 8×8 Adventure is about exactly this. We're not creating twelve completely different worlds. We're not changing everything every week for every phenotype. We're giving these plants a shared environment... and watching what genetics do with that opportunity. And Candy Rain gives us another beautiful example. Same room. Same photons. Same general nutrition. Same environmental strategy. Different expression. That's the experiment. And that's why I never get tired of seeing another week unfold. Because even when nothing dramatic changes... the plants are still changing. Quietly. Gradually. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── As with the rest of the room, the flowering nutrition remains at: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Candy Rain. Same general room-wide strategy. Same nutritional foundation. And then... we observe what she does with it. She's doing beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 – ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different week. And another beautiful chapter from Candy Rain. 🍬💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔥 SHE'S ENTERING THAT BEAUTIFUL "JUST WATCH" PHASE ──────────────────────── I think that's the best way to describe where we are now. Just watch. 😂 Watch the flowers. Watch the stacking. Watch the colour. Watch the pistils. Watch the resin. Watch the plant. And when she asks for something... we respond. Otherwise... let her do what she does. This is where patience becomes part of the grow. The plant doesn't need us to make something happen every day. Sometimes... she just needs time. And Candy Rain is using that time beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── So what am I looking for? Honestly... more of the same. 🌸 Continued stacking. 🍬 Continued bulking. 🌼 Further changes in the pistils. ❄️ Continued resin development. 🌿 Watching all that green evolve naturally. 👀 And simply seeing where her own rhythm takes her. I'm not trying to predict exactly what she's going to look like at the end. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm just enjoying the progression. Because right now... she looks happy. She looks beautiful. And she looks like she's enjoying herself. ──────────────────────── ✨ FINAL THOUGHTS – LET CANDY RAIN SHINE ──────────────────────── Week 12. Candy Rain Auto. Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. 😂🍬🔥 She's stacking. She's bulking. She's getting louder. She's changing. Her pistils are beginning to shift colour. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's becoming more impressive by the week. There's not much for me to do now. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. I'll exist. 😂 I'll observe. I'll support whatever she needs. I'll make adjustments when they're actually necessary. And otherwise... I'll let her be. Because she's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🍬🌸💚 This girl doesn't need me to write her story for her. She's writing it herself. One flower. One stack. One week at a time. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy the colours as they begin to change. Let's watch those flowers continue to build. And let's see how loud this beautiful girl can get. 😂🔥🍬 Candy Rain... keep doing your thing. Keep stacking. Keep bulking. Keep changing. Keep surprising me. And most importantly... keep being you. Because whatever you're doing... it's working beautifully. 🍬💚🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

We arrived in the third week the plants show good vigor and growth. Some cold days 17 Cº may have prevented further growth but we do not have to complain the plants demonstrate to be enjoying food and light. On the 15th the plants presented slightly wilted leaves as day 16 was the day of watering I imagined it was thirsty. But day 16 a few hours after watering the plant still had the same symptoms so I realized that the LED screen was 53 cm from the plant. I increased the distance to 65cm and the plant returned to normal both in force and I managed to correct the diagnosis. I am managing to apprehend some things finally putting into practice.

I love this lady she exploded, beautiful buds loaded with trichomes, everywhere, smells amazing, beautiful purples hehe 😋👌💚
