Update with pics of the end product will follow.

Day 106 The close-up view shows very healthy flowering development. Buds are stacking up nicely with dense clusters forming and plenty of white pistils still visible, showing that the plant is still actively flowering. The trichome production is already significant, giving the buds a frosty appearance. The sugar leaves around the buds are coated with resin, a good indicator of potency.

8/26 FED TODAY. 2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. THE WATERING CAN I USE IS ABOUT A HALF GALLON SO THAT'S WHAT A NORMAL PLANT HAS BEEN GETTING. Wow. What a week I had last week. I'm hoping things are going up from here. It's overcast but we have a 90% chance of rain. Thunderstorms. I'm wondering if I should put my back tarp up. The wind doesnt seem too bad so I'll play it by ear. The remaining plants seem to be doing good to me. I wanted to let the soil dry out but I NEEDED to feed. Buds are popping up everywhere and increasing in size. Earwigs still seemed to lollipop the interior branches (mostly larfy stuff but still). I attached a picture so people can see what I mean. I'm getting hit on all fronts but I'm still kicking! I'll update as I go. Some pictures won't upload. I'll have to do it later. Oh and my ph is on point for once. I tested all plants a bunch of different places and readings were 6.6 to 7.3 at the highest. 8/27 Rained last night but not as bad as I thought it would. We are supposed to have some good weather coming up so I'm hoping my medium will get a chance to dry put. Still liking the liquid kool bloom. I'll up the dose next feed. I'm going to need to do another application of plant doctor this week too. It's about time for a BT application as well. I see moths flying off when I check early in the morning and I've observed some pillar damage. I'm slightly worried about soul going anaerobic. The color of the gdps are too lime green for my liking but our weather has been horrid. I never remember having to deal with shit like this. The branch that was all drooped with fusarium wilt has one (the closest to the stalk) shoot that has repaired itself. That gives me hope but I really should just amputate that branch. I guess I'm just nervous because of the reaction I had last time. Granted I've cut tons and tons of branches off in the past and prune things they didn't have whatever pathogen these do. Septoria is still there on one of the GDPs but it seems to be doing okay. I'm SLIGHTLY worried about the change in color on my big NYCSA. It's lost some of its vibrancy. I think it's kinda normal. I'm sure it has some PM (which I'm hoping plant doctor and the silica will help repress) but I think it will be a heavy yielding plant. Sun's poking out. The little clones I took are exploding in growth. They might not yield much but I'm glad I didn't just chuck them like I was going too. 8/28 Things are still looking good! We got some sunshine yesterday and the sunshine out today. Buds are really starting to form and colas are taking their shape. I'm slightly concerned with the coloring of my NYCSA but it started flowering later than the others so senescence may be behind. I may have lost half this year but looking at other diaries and attitudes of soms others I'm pretty fucking lucky. I didn't have much time this morning so I'll update later. I need to keep up with my IPM and do BT treatment and follow up with a second dose of plant doctor. 8/29 Super rushed morning. Only had time to shake the dew off the plants and snap a couple quick pictures. I lowered the growbig this week. I think that was a mistake. Plants are flowering like crazy. My NYCSA doesn't seem as vibrant green as it was. I may up feeding to twice a week or at least give them a little growbig if I need to water. I want tge medium to stay dry for a while. I also needcto cut that dead branch. I'm just afraid of a situation line before where the whole plant died. My anxiety disorder really hampers my growing ability. I qorry far too much. I should just cut it off right now. I've also seen pillar damage so I'm going to need to do a BT spray. I have the other organocide that's the 3 in 1 but I can't use it in flower. I'll just have to stagger applications. Either that or do another root drench or "sprench" and a foliar with the BT on another day. I have WPM on the garden and I'm pretty sure septoria. This plant was perfect though. I'm afraid it might be getting sick. Either way it'd an extremely resilient strain. The little 9lb kush I have in a 3 gallon is flowering the fastest. It really fuckihgcsucks I lost those massive plants. Judging by this "clone" I took off the other clone (I know) this strain wouldve been the first to finish. EDIT: Went back over to check the medium and do some slight defoliation. I inspected the stalks and the dead branch. The dead branch has a small indent (from breakage, insects or rot) where the branch connects to the stalk. I've seen this before but had no problems. However THIS branch seems to he coming out of the stalk RIGHT where the rot is. I cut the other one off that ENORMOUS 9lb Kush and it was dead a few hours later. I talked to my father who has degrees in biology and forestry (among other things) and he said he couldn't really see the harm in leaving it. I am worried that a cutworm mightve gotten in bit I don't see any evidence of any borer insect. Under that stem there is more "bark" and other stuff but nothing like a borer makes. I'm going back over tonight to treat with either BT or Plant Doctor. Haven't decided which. Probably the plant doctor. 8/30 Didn't have time for pictures. Large NYCSA NOW has fusarium wilt. Either I'm the most unlucky grower in our area or my plants got dosed with fusarium. After the research I've done I've cone to the conclusion that this season will be a complete loss. Maybe the two small separate cuttings will make it through flower. The rest is just a waiting game to see if fusarium kills it before they finish flowering. Even if it doesn't then I don't know if I would want to smoke the flowers. I'm shopping online for grow equipment. I'm going to do some indoor this winter. Wow this feels like a kick in the nuts. I'm a good dude. Like I said I'm just either the unluckily grower around or my plants had a little help. Who knows. EDIT: I treated everything with Pkant Doctor again. I'll feed tomorrow and see if some miracle happens and I actually get something 8/31 I added a few pictures so folks can see what fusarium looks like and how it progresses. As you can see it killed a branch and is progressing to the next and so on until the plant is typically dead. No need to get too scientific on the mechanism of action. I FED 2 gallons today. Still kept growbig low dosing.

5.23 F60 5.27 F65 - Everything has been going well this week. The plants went through a feed cycle that should carry them through flower no problemo. Started with the AACT Tea, then a bokashi drench with Fish Shit from Fishheadfarms and plain water from here on out. They are drinking quite a bit. 1.5-2 gallons a plant every 3ish days. The terps in my tents smell out of this world. The ScrOG and 3x3 are like a candy store. Passion Berry has mango/guava citrus terps while Deadstar v2 has strawberry watermelon terps. The 4x5 is much more varied, but in general the sweet pink dominates with it's grape candy terps and the dread bread cuts through with it stanky gassy lemon while the prayer pupil smells like moth balls and a bit of GMO. Very lucky to get to experience this much variety. 5.29 F67

Starting 5th week

Still staying strong, had to cut off a bit of bud rott here and there but she’s surviving so far 👌🏻 really happy with how she turned out

Week 17 - only got a video by my neighbour. He's so nice to keep an eye on the ladies

Day 63 - All the ladies seem to be doing great, one of the orange sherbets is still a little behind but over all I think they have all bounced back from the light & nutrient burn! Will be harvesting 2 of the Orange Sherbets & all 3 White Widows within the next few days!! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼✌️🏼🌱

This beautiful lady is stacking so nicely. She has a main cola about 10’inches long! All the satellite buds are coming in nice too, lots of light penetration. I lowered the CalMag a little too early as some older, lower leaves are showing a slight magnesium deficiency, will correct at next feed. Happy growing 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

This week I started the OG SPRING. I never used this technique before but it looks pretty cool hopefully it works.

Germinated on 08.09.24

Very easy strain to grow. I grew the White Critical Express previous to this grow, I really liked it and wanted to try growing an Autoflower so I went for the Critical 2.0 and it was worth the grow.

Keeps getting bigger and closer she smells really fruity and sweet

🌹 Pink Rozay Auto B - Week 4 | Early Flowers, Big Dreams 🌹 Some plants quietly follow the rhythm of the room. Others decide to write their own timeline. Pink Rozay Auto B is proving to be one of those special girls. While the entire 8×8 Adventure is progressing beautifully under our 12/12 From Seed experiment, she and her sister have clearly decided they aren’t waiting for anyone. Both have entered flowering noticeably earlier than many of their neighbors, already stacking fresh white pistils and showing that unmistakable transition from vegetative growth into reproductive mode. Whether they’ll ultimately finish well ahead of the others or simply settle back into the group’s pace remains to be seen—but that’s exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Every day brings another lesson. This diary is another chapter in documenting that unique journey. ⸻ 🌱 Life Inside the 8×8 Adventure The room continues to evolve into exactly what I hoped this experiment would become. Multiple cultivars… Multiple phenotypes… One environment… …all responding in their own completely unique ways despite receiving identical treatment. Watching these differences emerge is one of the greatest rewards of this project. Pink Rozay Auto B isn’t the tallest plant in the room, nor the widest, but she carries herself with incredible confidence. Every day the structure becomes a little more refined, with new flower sites appearing throughout the canopy while maintaining a compact and manageable shape. She may not demand attention… …but she certainly earns it. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training, Better Light Training continues to be extremely light and intentional. Rather than forcing the plant into unnatural shapes, I’m simply guiding her architecture little by little. Low Stress Training continues to spread the branches outward while preserving the natural growth momentum. Combined with regular leaf tucking, more light now reaches the lower developing shoots without removing healthy foliage unnecessarily. It’s amazing how much difference simply moving a few leaves can make. Every exposed node becomes another opportunity for a future flower site, helping create a more balanced canopy while allowing airflow to penetrate deeper into the plant. Sometimes the smallest adjustments deliver the biggest results. ⸻ 🌸 Racing Into Flower One thing is becoming increasingly obvious. Pink Rozay Auto B is moving. Fast. The top flowers are already producing beautiful clusters of bright white pistils, and several lower branches have joined the race as well. Compared with many of the surrounding plants, she’s clearly a step ahead in flower initiation. Whether this means she’ll ultimately finish earlier or simply started blooming sooner is impossible to know at this stage—but that’s part of the excitement of documenting every single week. Nature always has the final word. ⸻ 🌡️ Summer Challenges Continue Summer growing always keeps us humble. Even with the air conditioning working around the clock, keeping temperatures under complete control during the hottest days remains one of the biggest daily challenges. This week the environment averaged: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution: 26°C • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 • 🌿 CO₂: 639 ppm Considering the outside temperatures, I’m genuinely pleased with how stable the room has remained. The plants certainly don’t seem to mind. Healthy color, vigorous growth and strong turgor continue to suggest they’re adapting very well. ⸻ Feeding Program This week the feeding schedule remained simple and consistent using the Plagron Terra line: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The combination continues to promote vigorous vegetative growth while providing plenty of support as flowering begins. No need to complicate things. Healthy roots continue to build healthy flowers. ⸻ 🔬 Looking Forward Over the coming week I’ll continue monitoring her carefully. If she keeps flowering at this pace, she could become one of the earliest finishers inside the entire 8×8 Adventure. Or… She might simply be an early bloomer before settling into the same finishing window as everyone else. Either outcome is exciting. That’s exactly why I love running multiple genetics together—every phenotype tells its own story. Pink Rozay Auto B has definitely captured my attention. Now it’s her turn to show us what she’s truly capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure. Every like, every comment, every question and every bit of encouragement makes these journals even more enjoyable to create. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can share knowledge and learn together. Massive appreciation as well to Plagron for supplying the nutrition driving this entire run, and to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this project possible. Finally… Thank you to everyone following the entire 8×8 Adventure from seed to harvest. Every week brings us one step closer, and I can’t wait to see where Pink Rozay Auto B decides to take us next. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

She's really growing to be a bushy one! Did a few more LST and cut off one satellite leaf to expose the other bud sites. Really enjoying her growth so far!

This week they are all just putting on some weight still a few weeks left to go. Pics were taken on Monday video on Tuesday. The aromas are pretty strong in the tent in general. Shes closing in on the finish going to start the flush sometime this week I think just give it a long one. Took some pics with and without flash, using a 85mm and 40mm lense. The close ups are with the 85mm u can see the vibrance of the trichomes.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2205 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tester #2205 girls and they're on a roll! 😍 When I checked on them today they both were still moist so I let them go until I check them tomorrow. Basically at this point in the run all I have to do is make sure they don't dry out, fill the humidifier and watch them grow! 12/17- Yesterday I watered them both and increased the amount to roughly 0.25g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Botanicare Silica Blast (added to begin to help strengthen their branches) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74℉. I've also increased the output of the HLG 650R's to 35% which equates to about 230w at the wall which, of course has raised the temp's in the tent so I've also begun to run the A/C unit in the grow room which is keeping the temp's now at 75℉ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! 😁👍 Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! 🤩 12/19- Today I watered them each with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t and 1 tsp/g Unsulfured Molasses which I then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I'm now watering through the bottom, filling the drip pan and letting the plant draw up the water into itself. I am also watering from the top, but only just enough to moisten the medium. They're really starting to take off now, a sure sign their roots are beginning to get well developed. Their 4th set of leaves have emerged and I'm thinking over topping them in the next day or so. 12/21- Well, yesterday I went ahead and topped the #2 Tester #2205 taking off the 5th leaf set. Hopefully she won't stress out over this and starts shooting out those secondary branches. I left the #1 alone as she's not quite as vigorous as the #2. I may not top the #1 as a sort of comparison to see how each grows out. Today I watered them both with 0.25g of straight de-chlorinated water each which was ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I gave about 3/4 of it into their drip pans so they can draw it up into their medium, the rest I applied to the top of their medium just to moisten it. Well there's two weeks of veg behind us now, Week Three of vegetation is beginning and they should really start to take off! 😍👍 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
