So far the plants look great, a little stretched out but seem healthy. They stretched a bit further than I would have liked before flipping to 12/12 but that's ok. The netting I ordered is too small so I will try and add some more sections with some string or something. Did some light defoliation, when the plants are healthy I like to defoliate pretty heavily and continuously throughout flower. The Autopot has been great so far, there's been a slightly concerning smell from the reservoir, but not alarming. โœจThurs Sept 15โœจ 6.4 ph 710 ppm 1410 EC Reservoir is starting to smell quite nasty. I added 5 Gallons to push it to the weekend then I will do a full clean. Plants are looking fantastic

Stick a fork in her, she's done. Look at the timelapse how she goes yellow very quickly! Shortly after these pics she was harvested. I note she is VERY sticky.

๐Ÿ’œ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno A Week 11 | This Girl Really Is on Fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I'm going to say it again. This girl is moving. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ And not just moving... she's MOVING. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Every time I look at Purple Haze Pheno A, I get the feeling that she's quietly decided: "Alright, enough waiting. Let's get this show on the road." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ Now, before anybody gets too excited... let's make something very clear. She is still FAR, FAR from the end. We're not calling her finished. We're not calling her close to harvest. We're not making any predictions about where this ends. But... when I compare her with where she was just one week ago? The difference is there. The flower development is progressing. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The buds are gaining presence. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the whole plant is simply moving at her own very impressive rhythm. Fast. Very fast. So this week... let's turn the spotlight up. Because Purple Haze Pheno A has absolutely earned it. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 THIS GIRL IS REALLY ON FIRE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Last week I said: "This girl is on fire." I'm not taking it back. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ If anything... I need to turn the volume up. Because this week she has continued exactly where she left off. And that's what makes the progression so interesting. We're not looking at a plant that suddenly changed overnight. We're looking at a plant that is consistently moving forward... and doing it quickly. Week after week. Flower after flower. Layer after layer. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. And when you look at her now, you can really see that momentum. There's a difference between a plant simply being in flower... and a plant that looks like it's actively building its flowering structure. Purple Haze Pheno A is definitely giving me the second feeling. She's working. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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 THE FLOWERS ARE MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is the part that's catching my attention the most. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. They're developing more structure. They're beginning to look fuller. And those flowering sites are no longer simply little points scattered through the plant. They're becoming increasingly obvious parts of the overall architecture. And when I compare her with the previous update... I can see the progression. That's what I love about keeping these weekly diaries. Sometimes you think: "Nothing dramatic happened this week." Then you put last week's photograph beside this week's... and suddenly: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Actually... quite a lot happened. The plant simply did it gradually. And Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming one of those girls where the week-to-week comparison is particularly satisfying. 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’Ž THE FROST IS KEEPING UP โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And then we have the trichomes. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž The frost continues to become more noticeable as the flowers develop. This is another part of her evolution that makes me want to grab the camera. Because once the flowers start developing that little sparkle... you know you're entering one of the most visually rewarding parts of the journey. You look at her from across the room and see flowers. You move closer and see frost. You move even closer... and suddenly you're looking at an entire microscopic landscape. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’Ž That's what makes macro photography so addictive. And this girl? She's giving us plenty to photograph. The resin isn't the whole story. But it's certainly becoming a very beautiful part of 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’œ THE COLOUR STILL SPEAKS FOR ITSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... I can't talk about Purple Haze without mentioning her colour. That deep green remains one of the strongest visual characteristics of this phenotype. The foliage continues to give her that rich appearance, while the developing flowers create beautiful contrast throughout the plant. She's got a very distinctive look. You can see her structure. You can see the flower development. You can see the resin. And you can see that beautiful green. Everything is starting to come together. And I think that's why she's becoming so easy to recognize. She's developing her own signature. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš€ HER RHYTHM IS FAST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is really the theme of this week's report. Her rhythm. Because I don't want to say that she's "ahead" of every other plant. That's not what this is about. Plants don't have to race each other. And we're still very far from the finish line. But compared with her own previous development? She's moving quickly. That's the important part. We're watching HER progression. And her progression is fast. She's not sitting there waiting. She's not slowly wondering whether she wants to flower. She's clearly in the process of building. And she appears to be doing it with a lot of momentum. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ It's almost like somebody pressed the fast-forward button. But I'm pretty sure nobody did. She's simply being Purple Haze Pheno A. 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 PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESPONSE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is where the 8ร—8 Adventure becomes really interesting. Because nothing special was created for this girl. She's still in the same room. Same environment. Same general irrigation strategy. Same nutrition foundation. Same lighting system. Same 12/12 schedule. Same overall conditions. And yet... she's expressing herself differently. That's genetics. The room provides the environment. The plant interprets it. And Purple Haze Pheno A seems to be saying: "Thank you very much. I'll take all those photons and get to work." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’œ And that's exactly what we're watching. The same light enters the room. Different plants respond differently. Some build differently. Some stretch differently. Some flower differently. Some take longer. Some move faster. And this girl? She's definitely one of the faster-moving personalities in this room. 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 MORE PHOTONS โ€“ MORE CAPABILITY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting setup remains the upgraded system we've been using throughout the room. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are now part of the lighting environment. We initially had more available intensity than we wanted to run, so we reduced the output. We're now around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing intensity depending on plant height and position. And I really like this approach. We're not trying to run the fixtures flat out. We're creating lighting capacity. Then we're controlling it. That gives us flexibility without unnecessarily pushing the equipment or using more electricity simply because we can. And Purple Haze? She's certainly making use of what she's receiving. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’œ 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 A THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTON CATCHER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ When you look closely at her structure, you can really appreciate how three-dimensional the canopy is. Leaves occupy different heights. Branches move through different spaces. Flowers develop at different angles. And photons interact with all of it. Some are intercepted immediately. Some travel deeper. Some reach lower areas. Some pass through gaps. And the additional Lumiflora lighting helps bring useful illumination into those deeper and lower areas. It's not simply: "Put more light on the top." It's about understanding that a plant is not a flat surface. It's a living, three-dimensional structure. And Purple Haze Pheno A has created a beautiful structure for those photons to interact with. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ 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 STACKING โ€“ AND THEN MORE STACKING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think this deserves its own section. Because... wow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ The stacking continues to become more obvious. The flowers are building on one another. The structures are becoming more substantial. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly dense. This is the kind of progression where you can look at the plant and almost see the architecture changing in front of you. One flower develops. Then another. Then the surrounding structures become more pronounced. And suddenly the whole branch starts looking different. That's what we're watching now. Not the final product. Not the finish line. Just the plant building. Layer by layer. Week by week. And she's doing it 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“ STILL COMPACT โ€“ STILL MAKING HER SPACE COUNT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At around 120 cm, she's not one of the tallest girls in the room. And honestly? She doesn't need to be. She's making excellent use of the space she has. She's not trying to win the height competition. She's building within her own architecture. That's something I really appreciate about her. She's compact enough to maintain that substantial flowering structure while still having plenty of space for the flowers to develop. She doesn't need another 30 centimetres of height to make an impression. She already has one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 FEEDING โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional update is the same as the rest of the room this week. 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 are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again, we're not creating a special feeding programme just because she's moving quickly. We're watching the plant. We're watching her development. We're keeping the room consistent. And she's responding beautifully. The important thing is that we're not confusing "fast development" with "rush everything." ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's moving at her own pace. We're simply supporting the environment around her. 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 11 ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room remains stable around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

Fast compared with her own previous progression... doesn't mean we're suddenly at the end. We're not. Not even close. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is still plenty of flowering development ahead. The flowers can continue building. The resin can continue developing. The structure can continue changing. And the plant can continue maturing. So I'm not looking at her thinking: "She's almost finished." I'm looking at her thinking: "Wow... look how quickly she's progressing." There's a big difference. And that's the exciting part. 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 CAMERA HAS A LOT TO WATCH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is exactly the stage where I want to keep photographing her. Because when a plant is moving quickly, the weekly photographs become even more valuable. They create a visual timeline. Week 9. Week 10. Week 11. And suddenly you can see the story. The flowers become larger. The structures become denser. The frost becomes more obvious. The plant starts looking more mature. And you can actually watch the transformation. That's what these diaries are about. Not just showing you a beautiful plant... but showing you how she became that plant. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us a beautiful story to document. 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‘‘ THE CROWN IS GETTING HOT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I'm starting to feel like we need a larger crown budget in this room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Every week another girl walks into the spotlight. And now Purple Haze is basically standing there with flames coming out of her flowers. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜‚ But again... I'm not declaring any winners. Every phenotype has something special. That's the whole point. One plant might have incredible structure. Another might have incredible colour. Another might have unusual flower formation. Another might have an amazing aroma. Another might be incredibly compact. And Purple Haze Pheno A? She's giving us: ๐Ÿ’œ Beautiful colour ๐ŸŒธ Strong flower development ๐Ÿ”ฅ Fast progression ๐Ÿ’Ž Increasing resin ๐ŸŒฟ Compact structure ๐Ÿ‘‘ Serious personality That's a pretty strong combination. 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 โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ My questions for her have changed again. I'm no longer asking: "Is she going to flower?" She's answered that. I'm not asking: "Is she developing?" She's answered that too. Now I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ How much more will these flowers build? ๐Ÿ’Ž How much more resin will she develop? ๐ŸŒฟ How much denser will the structure become? ๐Ÿ’œ How will her colour evolve? ๐Ÿ”ฅ And how long can she keep this pace? That's the fun part. We don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. Because the plant gets to answer those questions for us. 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€“ KEEP THE FIRE BURNING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. And Purple Haze Pheno A? Still on fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ If anything... even more so. Compared with the previous update, this girl is clearly moving at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is fast. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. The colour remains beautiful. The plant is maintaining that compact, balanced structure. And everything is starting to come together. But we're still far from the end. That's important. This isn't a finish-line report. It's a progress report. And what a progress report it is. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ Same room. Same environment. Same photons. Same lighting strategy. Same nutrition. Same 12/12. Different genetic response. That's the magic. The room gives her the tools. Purple Haze Pheno A decides what to build with them. And right now... she's building something beautiful. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the shout she deserves. Let's turn up the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the camera ready. And let's watch this girl continue to do what she clearly wants to do. Move. Build. Stack. Frost. Grow. And shine. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's still got a long road ahead. But if this is the pace she's choosing... I'm very excited to watch the rest of the journey unfold. 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 โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ 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.

And she's doing it at her own very impressive rhythm. So... let the girl shine. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ Let's see how much more she can build. Let's see how the flowers continue to evolve.

~ FastBuds PAPAYA SHERBET Photoperiod~ Well here we go on another journey together through 'Canna-land' and this one's kinda special... forget that, it's VERY special because this is FastBuds newest surprise for the community, a FEMINIZED PHOTOPERIOD STRAIN!๐Ÿคฏ I was fortunate enough to score these seeds, of which only 1000 were available and can't wait to see what this strain can do! This Papaya Sherbet, according to FastBuds, is a hybrid with a 9-10 weeks flowering period. For a more detailed and accurate description of this strain the following from FastBuds says it best: "Combining the massive stature of Papaya (Oni Selection) with the strength and resilience of one of our best keeper cuts (Sunset Sherbet), this strain develops into a big, expansive bush adorned with numerous bud sites that later transform into a generous harvest of medium-sized buds. Papaya Sherbet flowers deliver a signature flavor of premium cannabis with subtle citrus undertones that emerge upon inhaling. During growth, her aroma makes for a sweet yet pleasantly bitter fragrance, giving you an idea of what the smoke will taste like. Notably stress-resistant, Papaya Sherbet is a great choice for growers working in challenging environments. She is very forgiving and rebounds quickly from any adversity, allowing growers the freedom to experiment with confidence that she will take everything like a champion she is. This strain embodies resilience, flavor, and abundant yields in every grow cycle." Sounds like an epic strain and I personally cannot wait for this lady to strut her stuff!๐Ÿ˜ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod indoors as our weather is still a bit too chilly to put a newly sprouted seedling outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 40'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50'sโ„‰, which shouldn't be long. After which, she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes from BioTabs and slow release dry amendments from Gaia Green. Once she's established herself outside she'll be given periodic top dressings of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with worm castings and Compost Tea's. Her grow area is approx. 5'x5' and I have posts and a trellis net set up already for when she gets bigger to aid in training her. Let the fun begin!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 9/20- Here we gooo... Week 6 of flower and the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiods flowers are exploding now! 9/22- My daily routine of watering, removing dead foliage and checking over the Papaya Sherbet continues. She is unfortunately starting to show signs of Septoria which is a bummer, but at least it's showing up late in flower so it hopefully won't affect the outcome too much. 9/24- Our weather has now cooled off dramatically, with daytime highs in the mid 60'sโ„‰, and nighttime temperatures dipping into the low 50'sโ„‰. As a result I have cut back on the amount of water the Papaya Sherbet photo is receiving daily. 9/26- There's another exciting week of flowering on the books for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photo and from the looks of her, she only has a couple of weeks to go! I'm so excited!๐Ÿคฉ Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™

42Fast Buds - Gorilla Zkittlez Auto ๐ŸŒฑ Today marks 70 days, and it's finally time to bring this incredible journey to an end. ๐Ÿ’ซ Honestly, I can hardly bring myself to cut her down, I've grown so attached to her, and she's just so beautiful. But the trichomes have turned a deep amber, and there's no more time to wait. For the last 6 days, weโ€™ve been flushing her roots with ice-cold water, watching as she transformed, her colors changing and becoming even more stunning. It wasnโ€™t just a grow โ€“ it was a true process of evolution. I want to give a huge thanks to 42FAST Buds for their amazing genetics and for allowing me to grow such a phenomenal strain. Gorilla Zkittlez Auto is an absolute masterpiece! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Special thanks to Xpert Nutrients for their incredible fertilizers and ongoing support. Without you, we wouldnโ€™t have achieved these remarkable results. You helped grow not just a plant, but a true work of art! ๐ŸŒŸ

Sheโ€™s doing really well! We did see some damage to a few fan leaves that I thought could be caterpillarsโ€ฆbut a thorough inspection turned up nothing. Will continue to monitor closelyโ€ฆ but zero caterpillars so far *knock on wood* while the plant next to her has had a lot. This week we continue with build a flower, and kelp it real in her water. Doubt weโ€™ll see much vertical growth as sheโ€™s bulking up the buds.

--- **Week 6 from clone โ€“ Zowahh (Karma Genetics) The second week of flowering is going smoothly. The plants are showing healthy bud development and stretching steadily. I performed a lollipopping session to improve airflow and focus energy on the top bud sites. Overall, the plants are looking vibrant and thriving under stable conditions. Excited to see how they progress in the coming weeks!

7/6: Heavy thunderstorms last night and half the day today, so she won't be ready to eat again for a few days. I went out to the site about an hour after it quit raining today and saw HUNDREDS of tiny little green grasshoppers feasting on my girls!!! I immediately sprayed them all down with pyrethrins, and did it again right before dark. I've got the fan blowing across the pots to try to dry them out faster. I started using TPS One (one part nute solution) the other day, and the plants seem to love it. Really growing well, but I'm glad I amended their soil with some happy frog fruit and flower granular fertilizer this time. They get fed whether it's too wet or not. 7/7: Rained again last night...and more hoppers again this morning, so i sprayed with pyrethrins. 7/12: I tied down her main earlier this week and took about 5 or 6 cuttings from her today. Sprayed with Bt-k again, with some fulvic acid and silica.

Hello Guys, after 36 Hrs got a really good tap roots on Lemoncheollo Haze and Bubba Kush its long too, So just planted them directly to grow medium, Both uses Homemade Compost+Coco Coir +PottingSoil, after plant seeds then I covers them with clear solo cups (which is no need now I know) like after 1 Day I got lucky with LH and BK also showing some sign, Everything is OK yesterday. But in the next morning (Today) i got LH going down and looking Yellow color, quickly I did a another DIY dome with small LED that i got from cheap seedling dome.. Now its almost evening i got more green on the cotyledons, and i covers it with some dirt around. After checking answers from fellow growers, I Immediately took out the Domes and used my P1000 Light using my Phone LUX meter i used 4000 LUX, like less than 25% dimming and the LED is bit in up, Maybe i am wrong there! pls advise ,I also place a mini USB oscillating fan there too I hope i am not bothering you guys.)) Thanks

An here we are. At the end of another cycle. The end of another year, and what a year it was. For Sunshine and me personally, it was a tough year, with our families sick on multiple occasions, life-threatening. We are very thankful for many things but most of all that all our parents are healthy again. We wish your families are as fortunate in the coming year. So we end this Gorilla's life with a swift cut of the scissors, after thanking her again for the companionship, the well-needed distraction, and all the love she has given me already. I sometimes read that people won't go near their plants when they are angry or sad. Please do go to your plants when you are sad or angry! They are millions of years old. They have been healers of animals and humans since they were around. Our emotions can not taint something so pure as the spirit of this plant. She will heal us, give her life for us, sacrifice herself for our healing. She is all-powerful and all-knowing, there is nothing we mere humans can do, except disrespect her powers. Bask in her glowing light, enjoy her soothing energy, her creative spark when you are in need of love, just don't smoke her at that time, for she will soothe you bit not give her treasures, she will seduce you. Next to thanking Santa Maria for her healing, we would like to thank our friends here, all who shared their kind words, advice, and attention. I had made a video to share my thanks on video, but every time I got very emotional. You guys have no idea how tough this year was. The gorilla is real easy to clean and sticky and cristally. Its amazingly great to smoke! So a special thanks to: @Sailormoonflowers for being a buddy to talk to, @JamMAKEcan for being there with ideas and always a lot of love, @Roberts for being an inspiration @Cannabeast and @LegendarySeedThumb for always checking out my grows, to all who I forgot who are always here to greet me! @Growdiaries for being an awesome site and community and last but not least: @MarsHydroLED for letting us try their SP-3000. VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX We wish all of you freedom, love, happiness, but also the awareness to see many of us are still being repressed, with growing but also with our human rights. Jah jah gave us life to live, so let us live brothers! It is time the rastaman made a plan! We are 99% loving people on this planet, we need no 1% to fuck it up with wars and strife. We need to stop cooperating, peacefully resist. If you can buy local, ban exploiting multinationals. Help your local businesses, help your neighbors, we need to wake up and stop funding this black stain on our planet. Sell your stock in multinationals, invest in local businesses. Buy local products, speak out when you get taxed higher than millionaires (and you are). The day is coming my brothers and sisters. Soon a handful of CEO's will find out when billions are done with them. For now thanks for everything!
