Two Phenotypes, Two Personalities
Week two is where things start to get interesting.
Both Pink Rosay Auto plants are growing fast and healthy, but what immediately stands out is how differently they are expressing themselves. Same genetics, same environment — yet two completely different growth patterns. And honestly, I love that. Discovering these variations is part of the magic of growing.
One plant clearly leans towards an indica expression. She has broader fan leaves, a more compact structure, and a bushier overall appearance. The internodal spacing is tight, and she’s building a dense little framework that promises strength and stability.
The other plant is expressing herself quite differently. She remains slightly smaller, with noticeably longer petioles and somewhat narrower fan leaves. Her structure feels more open and airy, almost hinting at some sativa influence coming through. It’s fascinating to watch them develop side by side.
Both plants look healthy and vibrant. The leaf color is strong and even, and the new growth is coming in steadily. The Sanlight remains at around 80%, and they’re clearly comfortable under that intensity.
There is one small challenge this week — fungus gnats decided to join the party. Nothing dramatic, but enough to take action early. I’ve introduced nematodes to the soil to break their life cycle, and I’m confident the problem will be under control soon. Once the gnats are gone, the plants will look even happier.
Watering remains light and controlled, still focused on encouraging root development without oversaturating the medium. With autoflowers, every decision matters. There’s no extended recovery time, so keeping the rhythm steady is key.
What’s especially exciting now is that the structural foundation is clearly forming. If they continue at this pace, preflower signs could appear any moment. Autos have a way of shifting gears overnight.
For now, both ladies are healthy, expressive, and full of promise.
