Another good week come and gone. A couple of the girls needed nutrients so I add some general hydroponics blend into those that needed them. Didn't seem to make much difference yet. But they are getting into late flower. The purple lemonade, without a doubt, has the best smells out of the crew. Actually lemonade smelling. Plus the color makes this worth exploring more. I'm not a fan of autos but I might do her again ๐Ÿ˜‚ Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) ๐Ÿฌ The Patient One โ€“ Growing at Her Own Pace Every grow has a story, and not every story begins perfectly. Candy Rain is the only survivor from this folder. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely on me, and that's simply part of growing. Every mistake becomes another lesson, and rather than focusing on what was lost, this diary celebrates the plant that kept pushing forward. Despite her delayed start, she's proving that healthy genetics and a stable environment can overcome a rough beginning remarkably quickly. While she's developing a little more slowly than the rest of the room, each passing week brings noticeable progress, and she's steadily writing her own success story. This project continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination, challenging the common belief that this lighting regime prevents vigorous development. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, grown under the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8ร—8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves the opportunity to shine in her own time. And this week... She's beginning a brand-new chapter. ๐ŸŒฑ Week 5 โ€“ No Rush, Just Progress Although I'm still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant is clearly standing at the doorstep of flowering. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the upper growth, signaling that the transition is now underway. Unlike some of her neighbors that stretched almost overnight, Candy Rain is making the change more gradually, continuing to strengthen her structure before committing all of her energy to flower production. Standing around 69 cm tall, she's currently one of the smaller ladies in the room, but there's nothing weak about her. Her main stem has thickened beautifully, the branch spacing remains clean and open, and every new node seems ready to become a future flowering site. She simply isn't in a hurry. Sometimes the plants that take their time during vegetative growth surprise us once flowering truly begins, and I'm excited to discover whether Candy Rain has one of those stories waiting to unfold. ๐ŸŒฟ Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and stress-free throughout the grow. Low Stress Training helped open the canopy early, while regular leaf repositioning continues allowing light to reach developing branches without removing healthy foliage. A few of the older leaves still carry small scars from the early stages of the grow. Those marks are simply reminders that the beginning wasn't perfect. The important part is what the plant is telling me today. Every piece of fresh growth is emerging healthy, vibrant, and beautifully green. The stems continue strengthening, the canopy remains balanced, and new flowering sites appear a little larger with every passing day. Older leaves tell yesterday's story. New growth tells tomorrow's. ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrition & Irrigation This week I made one intentional change. Even though I'm still closing her vegetative chapter, Candy Rain has now joined the same feeding schedule as every other flowering plant inside the room. Current feeding: โ€ข Terra Grow โ€” 1.9 ml/L โ€ข Terra Bloom โ€” 1.9 ml/L โ€ข Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Power Roots โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L Rather than keeping her on a reduced vegetative program, I decided to support the transition she's already showing naturally. With an EC around 1.78 and pH maintained at 6.0, she's accepted the new feeding schedule without showing any signs of stress. The newest growth remains healthy, the foliage stays richly green, and the plant appears completely comfortable with the nutritional change. Now she's eating exactly like the rest of the room. We'll see over the coming week whether that extra support helps her settle fully into flowering. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment The environment continues providing stable conditions throughout the flowering room: Day temperature: 29ยฐC Night temperature: 25ยฐC Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21ยฐC Root zone temperature: 21ยฐC COโ‚‚: approximately 639 ppm Even during the warmer summer days, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and excellent airflow continue allowing every plant to develop comfortably. The ecosystem remains balanced, and Candy Rain seems perfectly happy within it. ๐Ÿ‘€ Looking Ahead Next week should officially mark the beginning of flowering. I'm expecting the stretch to become much more noticeable as hormones shift fully toward bloom, and it'll be fascinating to see whether she begins closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Right now she may be the slowest plant in the tent, but she's also showing steady, healthy development every single week. Sometimes patience is rewarded with something truly special. For now, I'm simply letting her tell her own story. ๐Ÿ™ Final Thoughts Not every plant follows the same schedule. One of the most enjoyable parts of growing is learning to work with each individual plant instead of expecting every seed to perform exactly the same way. Candy Rain has reminded me of that every week. She isn't racing anyone. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply growing at her own pace, building a healthy structure, and preparing for the next stage when she's ready. Whether she finishes alongside the rest of the room or a little later, she has already earned her place in this project by showing that patience can be every bit as beautiful as speed. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing consistently reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next weekโ€ฆ Growers love and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Water rainwater + epsom salt and diluted nutrients with more total water of 180 ppm ph 6.2 temperature of the 20 ยฐ solution, gradually using more water due to the 10% runoff temperature, slightly relieving the roots without much removal, sprayed with water without ppm complement due to perspiration and water loss when it's hot, more soil around the stem "I made some abrasions around the stem that is now covered with soil in order to create more quick roots, added more mycorrhizae around to heal and root and stretch with mycorrhizae. Always covered with coconut fiber so it doesn't dry quickly without absorbing enough, I really need one more exhaust fan to pull in fresh cold / fresh air from the outside in, and limit one little use of fans since air conditioning is not part of my plans at the moment.

G'Day me ol muckers, this week I've mostly been teaching Koalas to tap dance and rubbing the bellies of funnel web spiders. 04.6.25 - leaf tucking and heavy spray of water. very thirsty girls. 05.6.25 - feed 1.5ltr - did some defoliation on the really bushy plant as covering flower sites as leaf tucking wasn't cutting the mustard. also a few leaves on the other plant. it will stress the plants but its gone past the veg stage so not too bothered. 06.6.25 - water 1tr in morning for taller plant. 1lt other plant at lunch time. heights 38cm, 45cm heights. using soil meter now. 07.6.25 - feed 1.5 ltr - light defoliation. ppfd 550 height 24" 08.6.25 - water 1.5 ltr 09.6.25 - water 1.5ltr - defoliation and took off any very low bud sites that will not get any light. 54cm tallest plant. 10.6.25 - These girls are starting to get their legs now and shooting upwards. cant wait to see what next week has in store. thanks for stopping by. ๐Ÿ˜ See ya next week ya bogans.

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasnโ€™t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room๐Ÿ˜‚ & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesnโ€™t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

First day in Flower! It's been... very interesting 2 weeks.. now that I survived tha, im having some lockout due to being unable to take care of my plants for the past 5 days and someone having no idea had to do the job, I'm not afraid of showing these mistakes I'm always looking forward to the outcome so I'm still having some hopes for this og kush, not everything here went as planned and that's why I want to focus on finishing up the grow and starting new ones, better ones as soon as possible, I will definitely never grow autos again as I'm just not a fan of them having to be on 18/6 schedule and I like having co trolley over my plants as sometimes things can go wrong. Og kush had a lockout after flush it grew beautiful but still ate up some of the upper leaves. Runtz.. yeah I like him he is a beautiful little bonsai he didn't get lockout too much but also did I'm looking forward to seeting the stretch on him if it so happens. Cherry gusher, a tiny pheno I got this time I'm looking forward to growing 4 next time and hunt down a pheno. They say outdoors you have to play with God and indoor you try to play God.. we are not perfect and that's why I'm looking forward to the finish line. Will i scrog? I have the net setup but I'm not sure if I will get enough stretch. Day 3 I noticed some light white spots on bottom leaves of the plant after a flush I did recently, I diagnose this as magnese or magnesium deficiency, I'm going to up the cal mag to 8 ml and a+b to 10ml per 5 L of water along with additives extra 0.5 ml just as a touch up. Also I noticed we are at 47cm at the tallest branch after topping and lst and this thing is an absolute bush.. I could probably hide behind it if I was a kid playing hide and seek!.

Week 3 has come and gone. I think the stretch is now over. I got roughly 8โ€ of growth on top of my net. Hopefully all 8โ€ fills up with nice bud. I counted over 150 top bud sites. Goal is the get at least 14 grams per bud site. The frost production on this plant is out of control. Week three and you can already see trichomes producing on the fan leaves. I have been having to take off close to 50-70 leaves a week in order to keep proper airflow. She is so packed in the net I'm afraid of low airflow once they start getting fat. Only downfall so far is this plant develops loads of leaf. Hopefully that stops during the bulking phase. I keep bumping the nutrients up and she is taking every bit of it. Currently at 2.8ec. She was drinking tons during the stretch but has now gone back to normal amounts. Iโ€™m reverting back to every other day watering since last water I got nearly 50% run off. So far the smell is exactly like you open a bag of fruity pebbles. Itโ€™s not quite there when you open the tent but once you rub some bud itโ€™s undoubtedly fruity pebbles smell. Hopefully we start seeing the mass put on in the next few weeks. 1/3 of the way done with flower already and she has been doing great.

TB SkittleZ Auto - The Bulldog Seeds Day 48 ๐Ÿšฟ watered her twice this week, with 1l of RO tap water with defined nutrients mixed individually, in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I haven't altered her feeding just yet as she is just about to finish the stretching phase of bloom. From next week, these values will start to increase ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป โœ‚๏ธ No work done on her this week, I tend to limit the work on plants during the stretch phase to reduce the stress put on the pants! I want her to grow to her full potential ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐ŸŒธ Her bud sites have started to develop really well, there are four main stems with six side stems each, all of which are developing bud sites with good internodal spacing ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I'm really impressed with this plant!!

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 9 | The Other Beast ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! Well... Her sister is doing her thing. And if you've been following this adventure, you already know what that means. Pheno A is in full beast mode. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž She's massive. She's loaded. She's throwing flowers everywhere. And she's making sure nobody forgets she's in the room. But then I look at her sister... And I have to smile. Because Pheno B is also a beast. Just a different kind. And that's exactly what makes these two so fascinating. Same genetics. Same room. Same light. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Same environmental conditions. Both beautiful. Both vigorous. Both now cleaned up with some selective defoliation. Both entering this increasingly exciting stage of flowering. And yet... very, very different. That's phenotype hunting. And I absolutely love it. ๐ŸŒฑ One Room. Two Black Diamond Stories. The 8ร—8 Adventure was never about making twelve plants look identical. Quite the opposite. The whole point was to give different genetics and phenotypes the same ecosystem and then watch what they decide to do with it. Twelve plants. One room. 12/12 from seed. One general nutritional strategy. One environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. And then... genetics take over. Black Diamond Pheno A has developed one expression. Black Diamond Pheno B has developed another. They're sisters. But they're definitely not twins. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And at Week 9, that difference is becoming impossible to miss. ๐Ÿ’Ž The Other Beast Last week, I was talking about Pheno B as the quieter sister. The more reserved phenotype. The one that wasn't necessarily trying to dominate the room. Well... I may need to revise that description slightly. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because this girl has been steadily building. And now? She's a beast too. Standing around 160 cm, she's developed into a beautiful, substantial flowering plant. But her strength isn't expressed exactly like her sister's. Where Pheno A seems to throw herself into flower production with almost reckless enthusiasm, Pheno B has that more controlled, elegant architecture. She's still tall. She's still heavily branched. She's still carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's still becoming increasingly frosty. She's just doing it in her own way. And that's what I want to document. Not which sister is โ€œbetter.โ€ But how differently two phenotypes can express themselves when everything around them is kept so similar. โœ‚๏ธ The Beast Got a Little Grooming This week, just like her sister, Pheno B received some selective defoliation. Again... Nothing extreme. We're not trying to strip the plant down. We're simply opening some space where the canopy has become crowded. A few leaves needed to come out. Some areas benefited from additional breathing room. And as flowering progresses, maintaining a sensible balance between foliage, airflow and flower visibility becomes increasingly important in a room containing this many plants. The goal isn't to change her personality. It's to reveal it. And I think that's exactly what happened. After the cleanup, you can appreciate the structure much more clearly. The flowering sites become easier to see. The branches become easier to follow. And suddenly you realize just how much she's actually carrying. ๐ŸŒฟ Similar Sisters. Very Different Personalities. This is probably my favourite part of this week's update. Put Pheno A and Pheno B next to each other and you immediately know they're related. There are similarities. The overall flower development. The vigorous growth. The healthy foliage. The general Black Diamond character. But then you start looking closer... And the differences appear. Their architecture isn't the same. Their flower distribution isn't exactly the same. Their proportions aren't the same. Their way of occupying the room isn't the same. Their personalities aren't the same. And that's the magic. Same family. Different handwriting. One sister says: "Give me the whole tent." The other says: "I'll take my space, thank you very much." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And somehow... both are absolutely beautiful. ๐ŸŒธ Flower Development Is Getting Serious At this point in the flowering cycle, the flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The calyxes are stacking. The pistils remain abundant. The developing buds are gaining structure and volume. And the resin is becoming much more obvious. Looking through this week's photographs, that's one of the first things that catches my eye. She's getting frostier. The sugar leaves are beginning to disappear underneath the resin. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly coated. And we're still watching that transformation happen week by week. This is where the earlier weeks of growth start paying off. The branches we watched develop. The flowering sites we watched appear. The structure we watched form. Now they're all becoming flowers. And that is incredibly satisfying to watch. โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Arriving I particularly like the close-ups this week. You can see that the resin coverage is becoming much more apparent across the developing flowers and sugar leaves. She's not finished. We're not at the end of the story. But the direction is very clear. She's getting frosty. And I have a feeling that the coming weeks are going to make these photographs even more interesting. This is one of those moments where the plant starts changing visually in a way that's immediately noticeable. Every update seems to bring another layer. More structure. More resin. More density. More personality. ๐Ÿƒ Healthy Green, Beautiful Structure One of the things I continue to appreciate about Pheno B is her overall appearance. She's maintaining that rich, healthy green. The foliage remains vigorous. The plant has enough leaves to support continued flower development while still responding well to the selective cleanup we've given her. And this is important. Defoliation isn't the objective. A healthy, functional plant is the objective. If a leaf is doing its job, that's valuable. If removing a leaf improves the overall structure of a crowded canopy, that can also be valuable. It's always a balance. And with this girl, I think we've found a nice middle ground. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still unmistakably herself. But now there's a little more room to appreciate what she's building underneath. ๐Ÿ’ก Light From Above and Below The lighting experiment continues to be particularly interesting with these two sisters. The main Future of Grow lighting provides the primary overhead illumination. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting adds another layer of usable light lower within the plant. And with Pheno B's architecture, there's plenty to observe. She's tall enough that different parts of the plant naturally experience different light levels. At the same time, her structure isn't identical to Pheno A's. So once again, the same lighting system is interacting with a different phenotype. That's exactly what I want from this experiment. Not assumptions. Observation. We give them the same opportunity. Then we watch how differently they use it. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding the Black Diamond The flowering nutrition continues according to the same general program used throughout the room. ๐ŸŒธ Terra Bloom โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โœจ Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L Current solution is around pH 6.0 with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering is around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. And once again, the important part is consistency. Pheno B isn't receiving some secret recipe that her sister doesn't get. She's living in the same ecosystem. And yet... she is expressing herself differently. That's the information I'm interested in. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Current Conditions Current conditions for Week 9: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 9 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 160 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: ~2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ง Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The environment remains stable. And that's exactly what allows the comparison between phenotypes to become so interesting. The environment stays relatively constant. The plants write the differences. ๐Ÿ“ธ This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really show why this girl deserves her own spotlight. The wider shots show her overall architecture. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And after the cleanup, those flowers are much easier to appreciate. The close-ups tell the other part of the story. Fresh pistils. Developing calyxes. Increasing resin. More defined flower structure. More frost. And then you look at her sister... And you realize: These two really are very different. Similar enough that you immediately know they're related. Different enough that you could never confuse one personality for the other. And honestly? That's exactly what I hoped this experiment would show. ๐Ÿ’Ž The Sisterhood of the Beast I think we can officially say it now. Both Black Diamond sisters are beasts. Pheno A is doing her thing. Pheno B is doing hers. Both have been cleaned up. Both are carrying serious flowers. Both are getting increasingly frosty. Both are looking beautiful. But they are absolutely not the same plant wearing different labels. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And that's the beauty of it. You can give two sisters the same room, the same treatment and the same opportunity... and they'll still find their own way. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead Now I'm watching for the same things I've been watching across the rest of the room: ๐ŸŒธ Flower swelling โ„๏ธ Increasing resin production ๐ŸŒฟ Continued canopy health ๐Ÿ’Ž Development of the lower flowers ๐Ÿƒ Response to the selective defoliation ๐Ÿ”ฌ Overall maturation And, of course... I'm watching the sisters. Because now that both are entering this heavier flowering stage, the comparison is becoming even more fascinating. Will Pheno B continue building at her own steady rhythm? Will the differences between them become even more pronounced? Will the flowers develop differently as they mature? That's what we're here to find out. ๐Ÿ’š Let This Girl Shine I think this girl has earned her own moment. She's not Pheno A. And she doesn't need to be. She's Black Diamond Pheno B. She's developed her own architecture. Her own rhythm. Her own flower distribution. Her own personality. And now she's showing us another version of what this genetic line can produce. Her sister may be running around the room in full beast mode... but this girl? She's right there with her. Just in her own style. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ So we cleaned her up. We opened some space. We gave her a little room to breathe. And now... let's watch her shine. Because she's earned it. ๐Ÿ’Ž Final Thoughts Week 9 is another reminder of why I love this 8ร—8 Adventure so much. Two Black Diamond plants. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Same general feeding. Same lighting. Same irrigation. And still... two completely different stories. Pheno A is explosive. Pheno B is more composed. Pheno A seems determined to turn everything into a cola. Pheno B has her own way of building. But both are beautiful. Both are vigorous. Both are becoming increasingly frosty. Both needed a little cleanup. And both are showing us just how much personality can exist inside the same genetic line. That's phenotype hunting. You don't tell the plant what story to tell. You create the conditions... and listen. And this girl is speaking very clearly now. "I'm not my sister." "I'm my own beast." And you know what? I absolutely love that. Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure and coming back every week to watch these personalities develop. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Black Diamond genetics that gave us these two fascinating sisters. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another dimension to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these girls week after week. Two sisters. One genetic line. One room. One experiment. Very similar. Very, very different. And now... two beautiful beasts. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Let's make this one shine. Growers Love! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž
