Day 72, 21st of November 2020: Hi! Wao this is what I can say and luckily stoppe streching.... All LST has been removed as the plants remain the same so no need to keep them in "chains". Those Original Sensible girls 3 of them (Gelato, Runtz Gum, Do-Si-Dos OG)went crazy, except Black Ghost OG she did not strech much typical little indica lady. And the THC crystals alrady on the leaves on the Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG just simply beautiful. Buds are coming getting thick they are gorgeous only I can see some some sort of deficiency on Do-Si-Dos OG a bit on some leaves. The fertilization schedula isnthe same every 2nd day and happens with the mix and ratio above. Wedding Gelato is beautiful also I hope the nice purple colour will come out as well in late flowering stage. :) The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Looks good

seeds soaking in water for 32 hours, after that directly into potting soil.

The buds are beginning to swell more and more everyday. The smell is very pungent I can’t wait to see the results for this plant I am very pleased with the way everything is coming out.

Für mein erst grow bin ich super happy und über das Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Auch der Samen von DutchPassion ist sehr zu empfehlen, vielen Dank!

Two weeks Update on week 3

Tag 82: Wieder einmal entlaubt.

9 semanas desde el cambio a 12/12 esta semana estoy regando solo con agua y enzimas para que se terminen de comer los nutrientes que quedan en el sustrato y asi poder engordar un poco mas mis nenas ,contento con el resultado de mi primer sog ,harto trabajo ,pero muy entretenido y satisfecho siempre que quieres se puede ,hartos me decian muchas plantas que cuidar ,pero con amor y dedicacion todo se puede incluso mas ,quisiea poder contar con semillas de 1 sola variedad para realizar un sog ,quizas mas adelante y con perseverancia se pueda , ya queda menos para la gran anhelada cosecha eaeaea y seguir creciendo inmediatamente ,no hare lavado de raiz por que es un gasto innecesario de agua asi qye a pura aguita se mantendran hasta cosechar , que lo hare yo creo que en una semana mas ,saludos a todos y que no paren de plantar jamas ,abrazos comunidad de grow diaries

WOW lol I cant believe I was worried. This crop is coming out amazing so far. Going to start the flush tomorrow I believe. The ladies have REALLY plumped up in 2 weeks, its incredible. The smell is wonderful as well! Not a whole lot to report other then this week was smooth sailing and harvest is 3-5 days out roughly is my guess!!!!

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) 🍬 The Solo Survivor – Small Setback, Big Future 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. She’s only a few days behind the rest of the room, yet every day she seems determined to close that gap. 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 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves its own opportunity to shine. And this week… She absolutely deserves her spotlight. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Catching Up Fast Although I’m still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant clearly finished the week entering pre-flower. Fresh pistils are now appearing at the top growth, and the transition toward bloom is well underway. Rather than exploding into stretch overnight, Candy Rain is making the change gradually while continuing to build a sturdy framework for flowering. At around 60 cm tall, she isn’t the largest plant in the room, but she’s beautifully proportioned. The internodal spacing is excellent, the main stem continues thickening nicely, and every branch is positioning itself to receive strong light as flowering progresses. Sometimes the smaller plants end up becoming the easiest ones to manage, and she’s developing exactly that kind of balanced architecture. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and gentle throughout the grow. Low Stress Training has helped open the canopy while preserving the plant’s natural structure. Combined with regular leaf repositioning, this has allowed light to reach developing side branches without introducing unnecessary stress. One thing visible this week is some damage on a few older leaves. This isn’t something I’m concerned about. Between the early setbacks, a little environmental stress from airflow, and perhaps my own learning moments while dialing everything in, a handful of leaves have certainly seen better days. The important part is what the plant is telling me now. The newest growth is emerging vibrant, healthy, and beautifully green, showing that the current conditions are exactly where they need to be. Rather than chasing cosmetic perfection on older leaves, I’m paying attention to the fresh growth—and that’s looking fantastic. Healthy new growth always tells the real story. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation Although this report still closes the vegetative chapter, the plant has already begun receiving the same flowering transition feed as the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The transition has been smooth, with an EC around 1.83, pH maintained at 6.05. No signs of nutrient deficiencies are developing in the new growth, giving me confidence that the plant has recovered completely from her slower beginning. She’s now receiving exactly what the rest of the room is receiving—and she’s responding beautifully. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue providing a stable ecosystem for every plant inside the tent. * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Even with the warm summer temperatures, the healthy root environment, excellent airflow, and consistent irrigation continue allowing the plants to grow vigorously while transitioning naturally into bloom. The room continues doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week marks the beginning of a completely new chapter. The stretch should become much more noticeable as Candy Rain fully commits to flowering, and I’m excited to see how her elegant structure begins filling with bud sites over the coming weeks. Being only slightly behind the rest of the room really isn’t a concern anymore. In fact, she seems determined to catch up one day at a time, and with every new set of leaves she’s reminding me that healthy plants don’t dwell on the past—they simply keep growing. I’m looking forward to watching those first flower clusters begin stacking along each branch. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Not every plant starts life under perfect circumstances. Sometimes the most rewarding grows are the ones that overcome early challenges and keep moving forward without looking back. Candy Rain may be the solo survivor of this folder, but she’s far from being “the leftover.” She’s becoming a beautiful example of resilience, proving that a slightly delayed start doesn’t define the final harvest. Every week she’s writing a better chapter than the last. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing such reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make these weekly updates something I genuinely look forward to creating. Until next week… Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Heute stehen die beiden hübschen noch in der 48 Std Dunkelheit Phase. Morgen folgen die Bilder von der Ernte. Die beiden Ladys stehen für 48 Std in absoluter Dunkelheit bei einer Raumtemperatur von 27,7 Grad Celsius und 62% RLF

another week on full dose. 3-4 weeks remaining.

Super easy to trim hard like little diamonds with an incredible aroma 🔥🔥🔥

First feeding and day one of lst. Lst going well so far.

Smelling lovely very earthy

Everyone got transplanted yesterday! They've been hardening off outside for almost a week. The got some Fish Emulsion a couple days ago. One night it got down to 38F, even though the weather said it would only get down to 50F! So I'm very grateful that they're so resilient. They're not showing much transplant stress so that's good. I watered in some lime when i transplanted. I put them in with my tomatoes that I need to stake. I started putting down seaweed mulch which hopefully I will finish tomorrow. Overall a good week and it feels good to have them in the ground!

Hi it is the fourth week it grows well with short internodes, it supports high temperatures well. Soon I will transplant it into a bigger pot and practice the LST. Wish you all a nice day 🌳😎

Another slow but steady week of growth
