Will be flushing this week and hopefully harvesting next week. Looking good, strong trichomes production and smell is incredible for both.

๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 13 The Solo Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Solo ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And our girl... She keeps surprising me. Week after week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ Just when I think I've got a pretty good idea of what Candy Rain is going to do... she looks at me and says: "Actually... no." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ More beautiful. More dense. More compact. More flowers. More structure. More of everything. And honestly? I don't think she likes being called our "solo survivor" anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because she's doing everything she possibly can to look like more than one plant. She's filling her space. She's building flowers everywhere. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as simply "the little solo girl." She's one plant... but she's behaving like she's trying to bring a whole fucking team with her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ And I absolutely love it. She's lush. She's green. She's beautiful. She's moving at her own rhythm. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here... watching. Supporting. Providing what she needs. And trying to keep up with whatever the hell she has decided to do next. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So this week... the spotlight belongs to our Candy Rain girl. Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE SOLO SURVIVOR IS REFUSING TO BE SOLO I think we've officially reached the point where the nickname "solo survivor" is becoming misleading. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because yes... technically... there is only one Candy Rain plant. But look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฌ She's filling herself with flowers. She's creating more and more individual flowering structures. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more compact. She's becoming fuller. And every time I look at her, I find another little section that has developed further. It's almost like she's saying: "Okay, maybe I'm alone... but I'm going to make sure nobody notices." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. Not because she's trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's trying to compete. But because she's simply continuing to develop at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ MORE BUDS, MORE DENSITY, MORE CANDY RAIN The biggest thing I'm noticing this week is simply how much more there is to look at. More flowers. More density. More compact structures. More development. More detail. It's one of those plants where you can stand there and think: "Okay... beautiful." Then you look a little closer: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then closer again: "Wait... there's another one there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ That's what she's doing now. She's filling the plant. She's making herself increasingly substantial. And I really like the compact character we're seeing from her. She's not simply stretching everything out. She's developing these beautiful, increasingly dense flowering structures that give the plant a really full appearance. The photographs this week really show that progression. She's not just flowering anymore. She's becoming. And there's a big difference. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN And then there's the colour. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ She's still giving us that beautiful, lush green appearance. And honestly... I love it. There's something about a healthy-looking green plant that never gets old for me. Especially when you start combining that colour with developing flowers, frost and structure. She has that beautiful contrast. Green foliage. Developing flowers. Resin catching the light. Different textures. Different shades. And all of it coming together into one very pretty girl. She's not trying to turn herself into something else. She's simply being Candy Rain. And Candy Rain is green. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฌ Very, very green. And I like it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ ONE PLANT TRYING TO BECOME MANY This is probably my favourite thing about her right now. She's one plant... but she doesn't look like she wants to behave like one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It's almost as if she's trying to multiply herself through the number of flowering structures she's creating. One girl. Many personalities. Many flowers. Many little places demanding attention. And somehow she keeps making the plant look fuller. It's hilarious. Because I originally called her our solo survivor. Now I'm starting to think she's offended by the word "solo." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's basically saying: "Don't call me alone. Look how many flowers I have." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ Fair enough, girl. Message received. You may technically be one... but you're certainly making enough noise for several. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER And this is what I really enjoy about following her. She doesn't seem to have reached a point where I think: "Okay, that's it. That's what she's going to be." Every week there's something new. A little more density. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more frost. A little more presence. And suddenly... she looks better again. That's what makes the weekly diary so valuable. If you only saw this girl today, you might simply say: "Beautiful Candy Rain." But because we've been watching her week after week... we can see the journey. We can see the progression. We can see the plant slowly becoming more and more substantial. And I absolutely love that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE GETTING MORE INTERESTING And these photographs? I really like them. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฌ Because we're now at the stage where the individual flowers are starting to tell more of the story. The wider shots show the plant. The closer shots show the structure. And then the really close views... well... that's where you start getting lost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ You see the density. You see the developing resin. You see the flower structures becoming more compact. You see the little details that are easy to miss from across the room. And that's exactly why I love documenting these girls. The plant doesn't change overnight. But when you put the photographs from several weeks together... suddenly you can see just how much has happened. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ OUR SOLO SURVIVOR HAS CHARACTER She's really become one of the characters of the 8ร—8. And I think that's worth saying. At the beginning, she was simply: "Our solo survivor." Now? She's Candy Rain. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘ She has her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own colour. Her own way of developing. Her own personality. And I genuinely look forward to seeing what she's doing when I walk into the room. That's when you know a plant has become more than just another plant. You start recognizing her. You start understanding her. You start noticing the little differences. And that's one of the most beautiful things about growing multiple phenotypes. You stop seeing twelve labels. You start seeing twelve personalities. Candy Rain has definitely developed hers. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT STORY And of course... we come back to one of the foundations of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. ๐Ÿฌโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're still working with the expanded lighting capability at controlled output. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug With around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Candy Rain is receiving those same photons as everybody else. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming dense. She's becoming compact. She's filling her structure. She's becoming more and more beautiful. The photons are the same. The response isn't. And that's the experiment. That's the magic. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us more capability. More flexibility. More available lighting capacity. But we're not simply running everything at maximum just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're watching the plants. And we're letting them tell us their story. Candy Rain is definitely talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ She's saying: "More flowers, please." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And apparently... she's taking the photons and doing exactly that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION This is another beautiful example of why I love having these individual diaries. If somebody only followed Candy Rain... they might think: "This is what the room looks like." But it's not. This is what Candy Rain looks like. The room is the constant. The plant is the variable. And that's what makes this entire project so interesting. Some girls are tall. Some are compact. Some are huge. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some are frosty monsters. Some are heavy beasts. Some are elegant. Some are strange. And Candy Rain? She's the beautiful solo girl who's apparently trying to become a whole crowd. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ I wouldn't change that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ I'M MOSTLY JUST SUPPORTING HER NOW And honestly... there isn't much for me to do. She's doing the work. I'm observing. I'm supporting. I'm providing what she wants. And when she needs something... I respond. That's it. There's no need for me to constantly interfere. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's flowering. She's getting denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. So my job becomes simple. Look. Observe. Listen. Support. And let her grow. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes the smartest thing a grower can do is realize that the plant doesn't need to be "fixed." It just needs to be allowed to continue. And Candy Rain? She's continuing beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฌ SHE'S MAKING THIS ROUND CRAZY I think this is the best way to describe the current stage. She's giving us a crazy round. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฌ Not because she's trying to break records. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. But because every time I think I've understood her... she gives us another little surprise. More density. More flowers. More compact structure. More beauty. More frost. More green. More personality. And I love it. This is exactly why I don't want to put expectations on these plants. Let them show us. Let them tell us. Let them surprise us. Candy Rain is doing exactly that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP And yes... the frost is still part of her story. ๐Ÿฌโ„๏ธโœจ As the flowers become more substantial, that resin-covered character becomes more noticeable. You can see it catching the light. You can see it on the developing flowers. And when you combine that with her beautiful green colour... she has a really attractive appearance. She's not just green. She's green with sparkle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’šโœจ And that's a combination I can absolutely get behind. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN SMALL This is another little observation I really like with her. She's becoming more compact. More dense. More filled. But that doesn't mean she's insignificant. Quite the opposite. The compactness is part of her character. The flowers are becoming substantial within that structure. She's filling the plant instead of simply extending it. And that's what makes her interesting. She's not trying to be the tallest girl in the room. She's trying to be the girl with flowers everywhere. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ And she's succeeding. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not creating a completely different world around Candy Rain. She's part of the same room. Same general foundation. Same approach. And then... we observe what she does with it. And what she's doing is beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE 8ร—8 EXPERIMENT KEEPS TEACHING US And this is why I keep coming back to the same point. The 8ร—8 isn't about finding one perfect plant. It's about seeing the differences. It's about watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. And Candy Rain is giving us another beautiful example. She's showing us that one plant can have a completely different rhythm from another. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to be the frostiest. She doesn't need to be the most colourful. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing exactly that. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ ONE GIRL โ€“ MANY STORIES Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. And now... our girl who's apparently trying to become a whole family. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ I love the contradiction. One plant. So many flowers. One root system. So many flowering structures. One girl. So much personality. She's proving that "solo" doesn't necessarily mean lonely. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's got plenty going on. And honestly... she looks like she's having a fantastic time doing it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development. ๐Ÿฌ More stacking. ๐Ÿ’š That beautiful lush green colour. โ„๏ธ Continued frost development. ๐ŸŒฟ Increasing density and compactness. ๐Ÿ‘€ Her overall progression. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, documenting every step of the journey. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm not trying to predict exactly where she's going. I'm simply watching. Because right now... the story is beautiful. And she's still writing it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... more surprises. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ More flowers. More density. More frost. More development. More beautiful green. And probably another week where I walk into the room and say: "Well... you did it again." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That's Candy Rain. She's going to do what Candy Rain wants to do. And my job is simply to give her the opportunity. Provide what she needs. Support her when she asks. And let her shine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE SOLO GIRL WHO ISN'T ACTING SOLO Week 13. Candy Rain Auto. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ And this girl keeps surprising me. She's becoming more beautiful. More dense. More compact. More full of flowers. More frosty. And somehow... more herself. That's probably what I love most. She's not trying to become another plant. She's not trying to follow somebody else's schedule. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's simply doing Candy Rain things. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ And apparently... Candy Rain things include trying to make one plant look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's lush. She's green. She's compact. She's developing beautiful flowers throughout her structure. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's giving us one hell of a round. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to force her. I'm not going to compare her. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep documenting. And keep enjoying this beautiful girl. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Because sometimes... the solo survivor becomes one of the most memorable plants in the entire room. And I think Candy Rain is doing exactly that. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that beautiful green. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate those compact flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the personality. And let's see just how much more this girl wants to surprise us with. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Candy Rain... you may be one plant... but you're making enough noise for several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Keep doing your thing, girl. Keep stacking. Keep building. Keep shining. Keep being beautifully, stubbornly, wonderfully YOU. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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 throughout this adventure. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure continues to remind me that every plant has her own personality. And Candy Rain? She's becoming one of my favourites to watch. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘ She started this journey as our solo survivor. Now she's apparently trying to prove that one plant can look like several. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ She's beautiful. She's lush. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. She's developing. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here to support her and give her what she asks for. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when the plant says: "Keep going." We keep going. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š So let's give our girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy this crazy round she's giving us. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's see what Candy Rain decides to show us next. Because if this girl has taught me anything... it's that she's not finished surprising us. Not even close. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the green keeps shining, and our solo survivor continues doing everything she can to prove that one plant... can still make a hell of a lot of noise. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine.

AlienZ Automatic - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 75 - watered with 2L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients in order and then pH'd to 6.3. She's not bulking as much as I had hoped, so I've increased the Bio Heaven and Acti-Vera to boost her metabolism a bit ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป She's quite bushy, so I've removed a few fan leaves with a goal to improve light penetration and airflow ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป She's getting close to harvest now, so probably from next week I will start to reduce the nutrients in her feed, but for now I'm just going to let her grow ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

These are about a month old. I've no idea what they are as there from a long time ago and were mixed with a few varieties of autos and photoperiod. Hopefully they work out and are not Spanish sativa as that just gives me a headache after more than 0.25g in a day?? Anyone else ever have that? Powerplant does the same if I use more than 0.50g in a day. The only two strains that have that effect on me!

Felt greedy and moved SBR back, they're together again, started one more plant, planning to add another diary soon. Girls look good! Already started blooming, stigmas appeared at the beginning of week 2, buds seem to start forming. Since SBR is a bit smaller than KE she has a podium to stand on. Like a queen ahah. I've cut 2 lower branches of KE, and few from SBR. Not sure about defoliation at the moment, Leaves under the lights seem to be ventilated well and aren't wet

Hi all. I hope to are all as interested as I am to see what this light can really do. I have been learning g to use l.e.d for the past 3 years and the majority of that has been using Mars Hydro lights. I originally grew for a few decades in HPS 600 watt bulbs and laughed at the new kid on the block ( l.e.d) and its fancy boxing and blurple colours and never saw a tine I could afford the kind of L.e.d that was being used by industrial and pharmaceutical grade growers worldwide. These were always way too expensive to make the conversion worth the benefits to my home growing. I started on the Mars Tsl2000 and soon had 2 , then added an sp250 followed by the very good sp3000 . Having the chance to try this new 300w beauty and its sexy framework too , was an opportunity too good to miss so here we are.It has been a lesson in training for a slight penetration difference mainly between the hps and l.e.d and keeping them in light as direct as I can. They are running at 50% for now as the ladies are just adjusting to the soil mix . The 2 Mexican airline are having a slight issue with the soils strength I think so have only just really started to settle down. I thought one was going to die of toxicity but it has kept going . The Strawberry Pie seem the most settled so far and are beginning to put their next leaf sets out but the six Shooter also has signs of disliking the initial soil mix. A few more days to settle in and a good watering cycle should sort them out better. So not much to really report this early on except we got 6 from 6 as a start lets hope it stays productive. Be well folks

The plant is showing signs of being completely ready and I decided to test the Myth of putting the plan 48 hours in darkness one plant I decided to chop it down right away the other one I will put it in 48 hours of darkness and I'm going to see if there is any true difference in flavour and taste or Racine since both plans are clones they should be identical in end so any true difference between them will show If there is any truth to the myth or put it down as a false. Despite being lots of mistakes along the way and suffering a lot from many different issues the plant has grown nicely in the garden and it has thrive in the Canadian environment. I will update later on when the plans are completely dry and I cut it for for the curing process and also for check out how heavy they are thank you for reading have a happy grow. After three weeks in curing process there is no true difference between both of them neither a bag of peel but unfortunately the one that I cut first retain more flavor and smell typical of the plant rather than the one that was left 48 hours in darkness the only thing I have not test is for rosin production because my machine have not arrived yet other than that the one that I not allowed any dark. Has better high better flavour and better smell than the other one this doesnโ€™t mean that the 48 hrs. Doesnโ€™t have any validation this only proves that in my garden I have no practical application for this technique . Thank you for reading have a happy grow

Using a 50/50 mix of Purple Cow IndiCanja living soil and Fox Farms Ocean Forest, just ph'd water using lemon juice to bring down my tapwater and mammoth P microbes. I brew teas with Nature's living soil auto flower line. Seeds in the soil 4/17...I plant directly into the soil without presoaking or letting a taproot grow, I've had 100% success rate so far so I'll keep doing it I think

4/13 11AM MONDAY RQS Gelatto 44 and Punch Pie Tyson 2.0 are Finished!!! I will let them go a couple weeks longer but they are good to go! 9/10 Srong, good in coco/ no problems at all! MONTEL DREAM WIDOW 11/10 ANOTHER WINNER!! So much resin, AMAZING BUDS SHAPED LIKE SPIDERS...SO GREAT. My ICE t is a little small, I didnt have enough space so she stayed compact and perfect small. Bubbles, Julinan and Ricky are doing better than ever 4/14 4:09 AM I just had an idea flash for my next grow so I need to make some notes. I have a cutting I took from a gorilla gas F1 fast flower by seedsmen I did it last year. I took the cutting when she was in flower. I put her in an organic grow plug that I got from seats man as well and I tortured her and I forgot to water it and I left it in there and then I put her in 1 gallon and I havenโ€™t tried to do anything but she survived everything so Iโ€™m gonna grow her out into a full-size plant. Iโ€™ll probably put it in a bigger pot and do a small smaller grow not so many plants next time I think sheโ€™ll really be something. 4/14 1;23pm I turned the light up to 114 W and Iโ€™m just under 120. Iโ€™m trying to feel the driver and keep it cool so it doesnโ€™t heat the room up. I have some plants in there that I didnโ€™t veg right so theyโ€™re kind of screwed up and I have too many of them. Iโ€™m gonna have to take some down. The extra plants are preventing the better plants from growing so my experiment making my own seeds, it actually worked, but itโ€™s still not as good as getting it from the actual breeders. And I have a series of medical problems that disable me for several days at a time so plans not look good and then I get behind a little bit so that. 4/18 1:30 PM I used floor clean and did a heavy flush on the Tyson plants gelato 44 and punch pie. I also used a little bit of it on the Montell Williams plant, which is amazing. Montelโ€˜s dream widow is just incredible and sheโ€™s growing in an unusually small container and doing very well corkscrew auto however, was not an auto flower from Royal Queen seeds, but sheโ€™s behaving like a normal photo and her color is going great so even though itโ€™s not an auto at 12:12 she did develop photo traits and is going to grow very successfully. I think as a photo sheโ€™s doing really good and I have a bubbles blueberry in there. I grew her terribly so sheโ€™s not doing as good as she could, but thatโ€™s on me.

I just recently made a growdiaries account and wasnโ€™t able to get one of my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds. But I was really happy with the results and wanted to show it off a bit. I ended up with 105 grams dry from the 1 autoflower plant alone! Also mid grow as I was entering the flowering stage I broke one of the bigger stems during lst so I know for sure I would have pulled a QP off of her alone. Really happy with that and not to mention the quality of nugs I got off of her.

Ginger Nut cookies & Aussie music video's 5th March 2020 Flowering Begins ....................................... My little creation is officially Flowering folks!! After stretching upwards about 30cm all tips are developing little Budlets. I started to see minor signs of Nitrogen deficiency from a coupleof bottom leaves that suddenly began to yellow. This is fairly normal as the plant would have needed as much (nitrogen) as it could get doing all that stretching. I needed to feed half strength grow nutes ( professors nutrients) @1ml/L three times during the last 7 days. Now that the stretch seems to have slowed right down I will start to add some Dr Greenthumbs Bud n Bloom mix ( aprox qtr of a cup). I'll also keep using LST to allow as much light to penetrate as possible. ๐Ÿ‘ **** Now for the Weekly Australian Music Videos *** Last week I posted Links to songs from the Artist Paul Kelly , they were Sleep Australia Sleep and Dumb Things. I hope you listened to them but that's your preference whether you choose to or not. Anyhoo This weeks Artist is a real Blast from the Past!! The bands called Daddy Cool and Ive selected a couple of their quite catchy tunes that were recorded way back in the 1970's Firstly is a Classic here in australia this is.... Eagle Rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQfAZVsz6KM And the other song is Come back again https://youtu.be/oIG9osPPILM I am sure these will have you bopping along to their cool and laid back Musical style. Hope you Enjoy and please leave a like if you do & I'll be back next week with another grow update and Aussie music Video ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

The girls have survived another week โค๏ธ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in ๐Ÿ˜‹. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas ๐ŸŽ„, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿพ

Sixth week over, not much to share - they are doing great, bulking up. I'm very happy so far. 2 or 3 more weeks. Probably 2 since they already look almost ready. Beautiful smell and looks. See you in a week!
