Making holes.... Farmageddon is here. 15 plants.... 5 - Kush Mints 4 - Sundae Driver 1 - Tangerine Slurpee 2 - Ice Cream Cake 2 - 818 Headband 1 - Platinum Alien Orange Cookies Six plants are going into the ground.. 😈 I hope??

Muitos problemas com a temperatura e ainda viajei e a iluminação desativou passaram 5 diss sem luz, terminar esse cultivo e vou dar uma melhorada nas técnicas.

Rempotage

Blütewoche 6 verläuft ohne Probleme. Die Pflanzen sind gesund, Buds werden dicker, Trichome entwickeln sich gut. Kein Mangel, alles im grünen Bereich. Leichte Entlaubung für bessere Luftzirkulation, Gießen wie im Schema. Bin sehr zufrieden – weiter so!

Medium: 🥥🥥🥥🥥 Coco remains as the most manageable medium in our arsenal. It’s simplistic, similar to conventional soil but as a nutrient neutral medium, it’s also much more tailored to the growers preferences in terms of feeding. It’s best attribute is excellent drainage and consistency - a lot fluffier than soil which definitely translates to faster growth rates. It’s a damn shame that this particular grower forgot the cardinal f$&@king rule when it comes to any grow - always water to run off and pay attention to the strength of the feed in relation to the plants growth stage. If we had followed these basic principles we wouldn’t have run into the serious late stage burn that almost toasted the whole plant. On the flip side of that, coco flushes out incredibly well and if not for this attribute, the whole grow would’ve been an unmitigated disaster. Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️ Uggghhh - hindsight f$&@‘n sucks sometimes. Best descriptor for how we grew this girl - imagine having the dinner table set with your finest china, a bottle of the most expensive red wine you can find, a brand new top-o-the-line BBQ, and then burning the absolute f$&k out of a $40 prime rib. That’s exactly how this grow feels... We were looking to scrog it the whole time and this went perfectly. The plant helped quite a bit with longer than expected internodal spacing. This allowed for a really even canopy/bed of buds. Again though, the vipar 450w (truly a 200w~) shit the bed mid veg. And we needed a replacement. Went with a 100w SpiderFarmer QB. While I truly am pleased with the purchase I do believe that we should’ve upp’d to the 200w model (or 2, 100w models) to achieve a similar output and result - @silverback_guerilla was right on point with the lighting advice (*again). Given the reduced yield it just feels like the nodal spacing and overall bud quality may have suffered with the reduced power. This, despite the better light spectrum and overall coverage in general. As an aside - an additional Fixture is now on the way😉👍. Worst part about this is we’ll never really know what the true limiting factor actually was due to the nute burning. Probably the single most stupid, rook mistake I could’ve made was not watering to runoff.... just too much shit going down in the world (and in life) these days and I started to treat the grow like it was on auto pilot🤬🤬🤬. The whole worlds a cluster f$&k right now so why should the grow be any different right? 4/5 for the method, losing1 point because the grower is a lazy moron. Yield/Harvest🌴 The final numbers are better than expected, 2.26oz of usable bud. Not overly fluffy and not overly dense. Not glazed in frost but not without a little shimmer. All around mediocre unfortunately. What it coulda? Shoulda? Woulda been??? Note sure 🤔 but we’ll take it👍. On a more positive note - There was still another new addition to our grow cycle. This time on the back end. Everyone knows that trimming just plain sucks. When we’re spitt’n out 3-4 plants every few months, the exercise is a dreaded necessity if were gonna maintain the vast array of choice that we’re used to🤙👌. The whole process just for one plant can take hours unless you have help. We prefer to wet trim too so for those that don’t require a commercial size trimmer, the only option to save some time is a trim bowl. We bit the bullet, dropped the cash on one - have NOT been disappointed at all! Not only did it cut the chop process from 2-3 hours down to a mere 45 minutes, the buds literally came out rack ready. There was no need to do any touch up trimming and the bud photos you see are as-is, right out the bowl🤩. Really coulda used this last fall and I would recommend this to anyone who chops more than a handful of plants per year. Just awesome and worth every penny!👌🤙👍 At times like these, we should all just be thankful that we still have both the opportunity and ability to grow our own✌️. Best be to all of you and stay safe out there.👊 Background For those not in the know, SSSC has been around for 40 years. Out of Amsterdam, they are the 2nd such breeder to market their genetics worldwide and can lay claim to the origins of their beans better than most (if not all) others. They’ve produced here an indica hybrid cross of M33/Friesland Indica with an elite clone of Lava Cake. We’re hoping to encounter one of the purple phenos but only time will tell. She’s supposed to be super strong too and not for the faint of heart 👍. We’ve been wait’n on this one awhile and she’ll be getting individual treatment in the small cab - 5gal. Coco w/perlite and the typical nute regimen. Advance props for the best packaging I’ve ever seen (although you may need to be an 80’s baby or older to truly appreciate it😉). See week 1 photos.

This week started out well. After topping both sides started growing pretty quickly. Later on in the week I decided to see how flexible the new branches were, they seemed pretty flexible so I wanted to start fixing them down, but not too low. Sadly one of the branches snapped off. I quickly tried to reattach it, but it got loose and died off. New plan, I left the second node intact to fill up some possibly empty spaces, but now they will have to serve as the right side of the manifold. Part of the timelapse is a bit weird as the camera kept sliding out of position because of the wire pulling it down, but that should be fixed now.

🍑 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia The Slow Girl Is Still Stealing The Spotlight 🍑👑🌿✨ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. 🍑👑🌿 Still stunning. Still green. Still developing. Still completely herself. And... slow as fuck. 😂 There is simply no other way to say it. She's taking her sweet time. Her very, very sweet time. 😂🍑 But here's the thing... She's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. She's developing those gorgeous floral structures. She's producing beautiful calyxes. She's covered in fresh white hairs. She's building her flowers. She's evolving. She's just doing it at a pace that is noticeably different from almost everybody else in this room. And honestly? I love it. Because she is such a perfect example of something this entire 8×8 Adventure has been trying to demonstrate: Same room. Same environment. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different timing. Different expression. Different story. And Passion Fruitz is writing hers at her own speed. So this week... we're not rushing her. We're not comparing her against anybody else's calendar. We're simply giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. 🍑🌿👑✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – SLOW AS FUCK, BEAUTIFUL AS EVER ──────────────────────── Passion Fruitz continues to move forward. Slowly. 😂 Very slowly. But definitely forward. And I think that's the important distinction. She's not stuck. She's not sitting there doing nothing. She's developing. She's just doing everything on Passion Fruitz time. Look closely at the photographs and you'll see it. The flowers continue to develop. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still everywhere. The floral structures are becoming more defined. And the plant continues to look beautiful. She's simply not following the same schedule as some of the other girls. And that's perfectly fine. Because plants don't carry calendars. They carry genetics. 😂🌿📅 And her genetics are clearly saying: "Relax... I'll get there." 🍑😂 ──────────────────────── 👑 THE GIRL WHO REFUSES TO RUSH ──────────────────────── If this girl has taught me anything, it's patience. 😂🍑 I've watched other plants move ahead. I've watched flowering accelerate. I've watched flowers begin changing. I've watched other girls start looking much closer to the final stages. And Passion Fruitz? She's basically sitting there with a cup of tea. "Yeah, yeah... I'm getting there." 😂☕ And honestly... fair enough. Because she's giving us something just as valuable as speed: A different expression. She's allowing us to see how the same room can produce completely different flowering rhythms. That's one of the reasons I love having all these individual diaries. If you only saw one plant, you might think: "Why is she moving so slowly?" But when you see the entire room... you realize: She's not doing anything wrong. She's simply different. And that's exactly what we wanted to observe. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTIFUL CALYXES, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS ──────────────────────── The flowers are becoming the real stars of the show now. And honestly... they're gorgeous. 🌸🍑 The calyxes are becoming increasingly visible within the developing flowers, creating more definition and texture throughout the flowering sites. And then you have those beautiful white pistils. So many of them. Fresh. Bright. Reaching outward from the developing flowers. They give the plant that unmistakable look of continued floral development. And I absolutely love photographing them. Because when you get close... you start seeing the architecture inside the flower. It's not just: "There's a bud." It's: "Look at all those individual structures coming together." Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Layers upon layers of development. And Passion Fruitz is doing all of it... at her own pace. ──────────────────────── ? THE WHITE HAIRS ARE STILL TELLING US A STORY ──────────────────────── One of the things I keep coming back to with this girl is her pistils. They are still beautifully white and prominent. And that's another visual reminder that she's continuing to develop. We're not seeing her suddenly race through every stage simply because the calendar says Week 12. Instead, she's continuing to produce fresh-looking floral structures and pistils while slowly building the flowers underneath them. That's important. The plant isn't required to match the visual timeline of another plant simply because they share the same room. She's showing us her own progression. And that's what we're documenting. The white hairs aren't just decoration. They're part of the visual story of the flowers developing. And right now... Passion Fruitz has a very beautiful story to tell. ?🌸🍑 ──────────────────────── 📸 ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER SNAPSHOT IN TIME ──────────────────────── And this is exactly why I love taking these photographs. Because if you only looked at Passion Fruitz once every few weeks, you might think: "Well, she looks pretty similar." But put the photographs side by side... and suddenly you see it. The flowers are changing. The structures are becoming more defined. The plant is maturing. The floral sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils are evolving. The resin continues developing. It's not necessarily dramatic. It's gradual. And that's what makes documenting a slow phenotype so interesting. We're capturing the tiny steps. The small changes. The subtle evolution. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually... those tiny changes become a completely different plant. ──────────────────────── 🍑 SHE'S SLOW – NOT STAGNANT ──────────────────────── I want to emphasize this because it's one of the easiest things to misunderstand when comparing plants. Slow does not automatically mean something is wrong. Passion Fruitz is a perfect example. She's slower than many of the other plants in the room. But look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's producing pistils. She's developing calyxes. She's building structure. She's continuing to evolve. So I'm not interested in forcing her to move faster simply because another plant is further ahead. Her pace is part of her phenotype. And that's something worth documenting rather than trying to erase. This is the 8×8 Adventure. We're not trying to make everybody identical. We're trying to see what everybody does. And Passion Fruitz is giving us one hell of a lesson in patience. 😂🍑👑 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCK ──────────────────────── This is still one of my favourite parts of this experiment. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutritional foundation. And yet... different clocks. Some plants move quickly. Some plants take longer. Some develop one way. Some develop another. Some get large. Some stay compact. Some stack quickly. Some take their time. And Passion Fruitz? She's operating on her own calendar. 😂📅🍑 But that's exactly what makes her valuable to this project. She's showing us that "Week 12" doesn't necessarily mean every plant should look the same. Week number is a reference point. The plant itself tells the story. And her story is: "I'm still building." ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── And of course, the lighting environment hasn't been specially changed for her. She's receiving the same upgraded room lighting as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug and approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a lot of available light. And Passion Fruitz is doing what she wants with it. 😂☀️🍑 The photons don't know she's the slow girl. They arrive. Her leaves capture them. The plant processes that energy. And she decides where that energy goes. Growth. Maintenance. Flower development. Everything happening inside this beautiful girl is her response to the environment. And her response is very much: "Give me time." 😂 ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE CAPABILITY, CONTROLLED OUTPUT ──────────────────────── The additional Future of Grow fixtures have also been a great part of this experiment because they give us more capability without forcing us to use maximum output. We don't need to run everything flat out just because we can. We have the capacity. We can control the output. We can measure what the plants are receiving. And we can find a practical operating point. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Passion Fruitz gets to enjoy the same artificial sun as the rest of the jungle. ☀️🌿🍑 A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for providing those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8×8 Adventure. It's been fascinating watching twelve completely different plants interpret the same lighting environment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE PLANT DOESN'T NEED ME TO FORCE HER ──────────────────────── And this is probably the biggest lesson from Passion Fruitz. At this point... I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her look like another plant. I'm not trying to force her into somebody else's timeline. My job is much simpler. Observe. Check. Provide what she needs. Watch the environment. Monitor irrigation. Monitor nutrition. Look at the flowers. Look at the leaves. And if something genuinely needs attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her grow. 😂🌱 This girl has already shown us that she knows what she's doing. She just prefers to do it slowly. Very slowly. 😂🍑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – STARTING TO WIND THINGS DOWN ──────────────────────── As we're moving into the later part of flowering, the nutritional strategy is also beginning to change. We're starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like going from: "Everything is running normally today." to: "Zero nutrition tomorrow." 😂 Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. A little less again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the later stages. Passion Fruitz is still actively developing. She's still green. She's still producing flowers. She's still producing fresh pistils. She's still working. So we're not interested in slamming the brakes on her simply because the calendar is advancing. We're beginning the reduction progressively and watching the plant. That's the approach I like. Controlled. Gradual. Observational. ──────────────────────── 🌱 WHY GRADUAL REDUCTION MAKES SENSE TO ME ──────────────────────── The important thing here is that we're not treating the end of the cycle like an on/off switch. Plants don't suddenly stop functioning because we've reached an arbitrary week number. They continue responding to their environment. And every phenotype can move through the later stages differently. Passion Fruitz has already demonstrated that she has her own rhythm. So it makes even less sense to force her into a rigid schedule. We're reducing the mineral input gradually. We're continuing to observe. We're allowing the plant to finish her own process. And we're giving her time. Because if there's one thing Passion Fruitz has taught us... it's that she's going to take whatever time she damn well wants. 😂🍑👑 ──────────────────────── 🌿 HER LEAVES ARE STILL DOING THEIR JOB ──────────────────────── Another reason I don't want to interfere unnecessarily is the foliage. Those beautiful green leaves are still part of the plant's working machinery. They're capturing photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. They're part of the plant's overall balance. So unless something genuinely requires attention, I'm not interested in removing healthy foliage simply because we're getting closer to the end. The plant knows which leaves are useful. The plant knows which parts are aging. And we're watching those changes rather than trying to force them. Again... observe first. Act second. That's becoming more and more important as the grow progresses. ──────────────────────── 💎 RESIN, STRUCTURE AND ALL THOSE LITTLE DETAILS ──────────────────────── The closer you look at this girl, the more you appreciate the details. There's the overall plant. Then the branches. Then the flowers. Then the individual floral structures. Then the pistils. Then the resin. And suddenly... you're looking at a completely different world. 😂🔬 That's why I love macro photography. A beautiful plant becomes an entire landscape. Every flower has its own little architecture. Every calyx contributes to the shape. Every pistil adds another layer. Every trichome adds texture. And Passion Fruitz is giving us plenty to look at. Slowly. Of course. 😂🍑 ──────────────────────── 👑 THE SOLO SURVIVOR STILL HAS THE SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── There are a lot of personalities in the 8×8. But Passion Fruitz has earned a very special place. She's the solo survivor. The patient girl. The slow girl. The one who refuses to follow the room's timetable. And somehow... that makes her even more interesting. Because when everybody else is moving quickly, the slow plant gives you a different perspective. She reminds you that the grow isn't a race. It's a biological process. And every plant experiences that process differently. So yes... she's slow as fuck. 😂 But she's also absolutely beautiful. And that's what matters. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── Honestly? More patience. 😂🍑 We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue photographing her. We're going to watch the pistils. We're going to watch the calyxes develop. We're going to observe the resin. We're going to continue gradually reducing the mineral nutrition as the plant moves toward the later stages. And we're going to let Passion Fruitz decide how quickly she wants to move. No rushing. No forcing. No trying to make her fit another plant's timeline. Just letting her be herself. And that's exactly what this diary is supposed to document. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – LET THE SLOW GIRL SHINE ──────────────────────── Week 12. And Passion Fruitz is still doing exactly what Passion Fruitz wants to do. 😂🍑 Slow. Very slow. But beautiful. She's taking her time with everything. The flowers. The calyx development. The pistils. The resin. The overall progression. And I'm completely okay with that. Because when I look at her... I don't see a problem. I see a phenotype. A different rhythm. A different clock. A different expression. She's not the fastest girl in the room. She's not trying to be. She's simply continuing to develop at her own pace. And honestly? She's perfect as she comes. Beautiful floral formation. Beautiful calyxes. Beautiful white hairs. Beautiful green foliage. Beautiful structure. And an individuality that has become impossible to miss. 🍑🌿?💎 This is why I love the 8×8 Adventure. We can put twelve plants together. Give them the same room. Give them the same general environment. Give them the same photons. Give them the same care. And they will still tell us twelve different stories. Passion Fruitz is telling us: "Slow down." 😂 "Look closer." And when you do... there's a lot to see. So let's give this beautiful solo survivor the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's let her take her time. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. Let's keep watching those beautiful white pistils. Let's keep watching those calyxes become more defined. And let's see what this slow-as-fuck beauty decides to show us next. 🍑👑🌿🌸?💎☀️🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the story week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow through the entire adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this journey. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. More lighting capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone who stops by. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person following these girls week after week. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This project continues to remind me that there is no single definition of progress. Some plants race. Some plants cruise. Some plants take the scenic route. And Passion Fruitz? She's taking the scenic route with absolutely no intention of apologizing for it. 😂🍑👑 She's slow. She's beautiful. She's developing. She's producing gorgeous floral structures. She's covered in fresh white pistils. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's make her shine bright. Let's let this beautiful girl take all the time she needs. And let's keep documenting every step of the journey. 🍑🌿🌸?💎☀️🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8×8 jungle. Where some girls race... some girls cruise... and Passion Fruitz? She's still taking the scenic route. 😂🍑👑🌿

The End is near. Can’t wait to harvest and dry them. Next 2 Weeks I use to flush them. I think then they’re ready. I’m very proud of the purple BigBud. She’s purely looking incredible. What do you think ?

Smell amazing Girl Scout Cookie. Super strong due to gg4 smelling like chocolate mint and cream Growdiaries keep crashing

🌅💪🏝️💚🔝

Día 88 y penúltimo antes del corte. Ya se aplicó Flawless Finish para un acabado impecable como su nombre lo indica. Siempre prefiero hacer el lavado de raiz solo aplicando agua en las últimas 2 semanas, pero esta vez lo hice aplicando el finalizador y luego los últimos riegos con agua purificada. La verdad es que estoy contento con los resultados de esta nena, que es hermosa por cierto, desprende olores ácidos, cítricos, dulces. Los colores son hermosos y las flores están rebosantes de tricomas, lo que la vuelve muy vistosa. Es todo por ahora, estaré manteniendoles informados en estos últimos días. Buenos humos! 👽

day56: stable I am beginig second floor of scrogging :) day57: she/he drunk 6lt of water. ph and ppm are stable as hell :D I will add 1900ppm of water to DWC ;) day 58: I added 10 lt of water :) And did some major defoliation. I am begging for night temperatures drop to 14-15 celcius for trigger purple genetics. Best wishes 👊 day 61: I added 6 lt of 2300 ppm water which is prepared with the Lucas formula. She is happy :D day 63: she is happy and fine

Used bud clips to spread the branches out after topping to the 4th node. Doing well and super vigorous. Did some minor defoliation and set up a blumat this week.

The last day

For now they are growing without any problems.

GELATO-K By KANNABIA Week #17 Mar. 1st-8th Week #6 Flower This week she is starting to stack and put on some weigh buds are getting dense and covered in trichomes!!

This week will be the last week I make a flush on this girls 5 days ago and I still waiting the day cut! The smell of this plant is amazing
