🌱 Folder 09 | Candy Rain Auto Week 1 – Finding Her Rhythm Welcome to the first chapter of Candy Rain Auto in the 8×8 Adventure. Unlike many of her neighbors, Candy Rain didn’t have the easiest start. She entered the room a few days later than the rest of the project, immediately placing herself at a slight disadvantage on paper. But plants don’t read calendars, and every phenotype writes its own story. The purpose of the 8×8 Adventure has always been exactly this: documenting every individual plant honestly, allowing each genetic to express itself naturally under identical conditions. There are no races here. Every plant is given the same opportunity to demonstrate what it is capable of. Already during this first week, Candy Rain is proving that patience is often rewarded. While initially producing only simple juvenile leaves, she quickly transitioned into healthy three-finger leaves, with each new set arriving larger, wider and noticeably more vigorous than the last. The journey has only just begun. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Environment The entire room remains carefully controlled to provide every cultivar with the same stable environment. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Cycle: 12 / 12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Because Candy Rain emerged slightly later than the rest of the room, irrigation has been adjusted specifically to her needs. Rather than following the volume given to the larger plants, watering remains concentrated around the young root zone, encouraging the roots to actively search through the substrate while avoiding unnecessary saturation. ⸻ 🌿 Nutrition Candy Rain is receiving exactly the same Plagron Terra program as the rest of the garden, simply scaled appropriately for her stage of development. Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted when necessary * Lemon Kick — adjusted when necessary The objective during these first weeks isn’t rapid top growth—it’s establishing a healthy root system capable of supporting explosive development once flowering begins. A strong foundation always pays dividends later. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Watching this week’s progression has been incredibly satisfying. The earliest photographs show a delicate young seedling still carrying its juvenile characteristics. By the end of the week, however, the transformation is obvious. The stem has thickened considerably. Leaf spacing has become more symmetrical. The newest growth appears increasingly vigorous. Most encouraging of all is the transition into beautifully formed three-finger leaves, signalling that the plant has fully entered active vegetative development. Each new node displays noticeably more energy than the previous one, suggesting that the initial establishment period is already behind her. Despite being the smallest plant in the room, she doesn’t appear weak. Quite the opposite—she appears determined. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos Sometimes the smallest plants create the most rewarding photographs. The early overhead images capture a tiny seedling standing almost alone within a large container, emphasizing just how much potential still lies beneath the surface. As the week progresses, every photograph tells a different story. The side profiles reveal a stem becoming stronger each day, while the overhead shots beautifully document the increasing symmetry of the canopy. One of my favorite moments is seeing those first fully developed three-finger leaves spreading confidently across the frame. They’re small, but perfectly formed, and they represent the moment where Candy Rain truly begins her journey. Macro photography reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen dramatically. Sometimes the biggest victories are measured in millimetres. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Forward Next week should be particularly exciting. With the root system now becoming established, I expect noticeably faster vertical growth, larger fan leaves and shorter intervals between new nodes. The gap separating Candy Rain from the rest of the room should gradually begin to shrink. Autos often surprise us with sudden bursts of development once they settle into their final containers, and there are already signs that she may be preparing for exactly that. Her story isn’t about catching up. It’s about revealing what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to every single person following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve only just discovered this diary, your encouragement, feedback and conversations are what make documenting every week so rewarding. This project isn’t simply about growing plants—it’s about learning together, sharing experiences and celebrating every stage of the journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and document their passion. My sincere thanks also go to Plagron for providing the Terra nutrient line that is powering this entire 8×8 Adventure. Their products continue to deliver consistency, simplicity and reliability throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible breeders whose genetics make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own personality, and watching those differences unfold under identical conditions is one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. And of course… Growers Love and, Thank you for taking the time to follow along. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One plant at a time. The 8×8 Adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚

Not 100% sure when week 1 pics were supposed to start but all these pics were taken in the morning and this evening is 1 week since the first 2 seeds went in (P1,P2) Tomorrow morning is a week since the second 2 seeds went in (P3,P4) Seed 5 unfortunately didn’t pull thru 😢 And we have a Mutant! P3 the 3 leafed Monster 👽 (at least i hope she will be)

Salutations amis cultivateurs 🍁🌿 Aujourd'hui on débute la 5 semaines de floraison 🗓️ La Candy Cream et magnifique, je lui donne 2 litres de nutriments tous les 2 jours, aucun problème de carence. Je ne les pas taillé et préparer comme les autres . Le résultat ce vois 😋💥 On voit maintenant des belle banane ce formé, odeur et incroyable ❤️🍁 Merci Kannabia variétés fantastiques 💥 Merci xpertnutrients impressionnant 💥

Overdrive’s kickin in! What a delicious smell! Both the plants are super healthy and look good. Maybe Blue Mystic #1 is some days behind the sister, but not that much. See you next week for (I think) the final nutrients intake before flushing. Yo!

Ola growmies. Alimentação: 17 janeiro. Espero que tenha sido a ultima rega com nutrientes. Ta dificil acabar este grow😅

Servus Moin! Die F025 bekommt jetzt endlich neue Schuhe. Sie hat langsam auch mega Nährstoffmangel und will endlich wieder was gescheites zu futtern.

This week has been pretty smooth sailing. Since all 4 of the testers are being watered at the same time splitting a gal of water ph to 6.1 with products listed. Started some LST on them this week and seems like all the babies are doing well. Tester 01/#1 by far grown the most at this point but time will only tell how they will all turn out. Enjoying this grow quite alot and am super excited to see how it goes.

18 hours in seconds, 60x60x18 = 64,800 seconds, now multiply by the 833μMol/s reading off the PAR metre. μMol/s (micromol) is the unit in which P.A.R. is expressed. 64,800x833=53,784,000μMol 53,784,000μMol = 54 Mol 54 DLI @ 800ppm, powerful combination. Pushing photosynthesis to peak capacity, accelerated growth and increased biomass. Applied net, stretching her around for a week. Maintaining a minimum air velocity of 0.3m/s within the inner canopy. E=MC2 looks like a simple multiplication problem; it describes a fundamental physical truth: mass and energy are the same thing. The equation doesn't just calculate a value; it reveals that mass is effectively "congealed" energy. Energy is just numbers. Energy isn't a physical "substance" you can hold or touch. It is essentially an abstract, calculated number that we assign to a system to predict how it will change, interact, or move. A numerical label we attach to matter to track how it behaves. Because the universe runs on laws of symmetry (specifically, that the laws of physics don't change over time), a single global number must be conserved. We call that number "energy". How well a seedling grows is down to how much knowledge one can acquire to increase the level of conversion to occur. Applying knowledge effectively requires intuition, which comes from hands-on experience. A seasoned stoner learns to read subtle signs—like a slight change in leaf turgor (stiffness), subtle color shifts, or the specific texture of the soil—before a textbook diagnosis can be made. Ultimately, growing is the application of botanical science blended with active observation. Knowledge dictates your potential, but adaptability and attentiveness to the plant's immediate environment determine your results. The human eye is capable of distinguishing more shades of green than any other color in the visible spectrum. 1.618 Nature mathematically optimizes quantum energy transfer and light absorption efficiency within the photosynthetic machinery, as it naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. External vibration or electromagnetic wave that perfectly matches a plant's natural frequency directly influences plant growth. Low-frequency sound waves and targeted electromagnetic fields stimulate cellular processes and boost photosynthetic efficiency. An angular frequency aligned with the Golden Ratio is often used in wave mechanics and quantum physics to optimize energy transfer. Does it produce better yields? All I know is the IVM loves being aligned with it. Here is how I "think" of it to simplify it for myself when I give it thought. Quantum is the firmware, DNA is the software read/write expression. Alignment with that of which already exists. Law of nature, not my opinion: Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves meet in phase, meaning their crests and troughs perfectly align. Their amplitudes add together, creating a new, amplified wave with greater intensity than the individual components. Constructive interference is the foundational mechanism that establishes a resonance hierarchy across physical, structural, and acoustic systems. "Frequencies utilizing this ratio naturally minimize resistance (or impedance) and allow for highly efficient resonance, which can facilitate an increase in Electron Transfer Reactions (ETR) or energy pathways in molecular structures." Quantum coherence in photosynthesis occurs when a photon of sunlight strikes a leaf; the energy it carries must travel to a reaction center to be converted into chemical energy. This process operates at nearly 100% efficiency. If the energy moved in a traditional "bunching" or random hopping manner, a large portion of it would be lost as heat. Instead, plants utilize quantum superposition. The energy particle (exciton) doesn't just take one path; it exists in a wave state and explores multiple pathways simultaneously. It essentially "chooses" the most efficient route to the reaction center simultaneously. Research shows that molecular vibrations and the specific network arrangements of chlorophyll molecules (like the naturally evolved Chlorophyll A & B ratios) actively protect against energy overflow, optimizing light capture across different light intensities. Enzymes are the biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions within a plant's cells, allowing them to grow, metabolize, and repair. Rather than relying solely on the classical kinetic energy of molecules colliding, plants use quantum tunneling. Subatomic particles like electrons and protons (hydrogen ions) can literally "teleport" through energy barriers that they normally wouldn’t have the energy to climb over. This makes vital metabolic reactions happen far faster than classical physics could ever explain! Chloryphyll b has peak absorption at 460nm (Blue) and at 647nm(Red). If we take the blue peak wavelength 460nm and a UV-B, UVR8 peak absorption wavelength 285nm, Tryptophan-285 (W285) Sensing protein. 460/285=1.618 Φ If we take chlorypyhll b's Red absorption peak 647nm and a UV-A of 400nm, we get 647/400=1.618 Φ. "Structure of light". The cryptochrome photoreceptor (CRY) is a UV-A/blue light receptor that shares this dual sensitivity with several other biological structures and functions, including significant sequence similarity and a common evolutionary ancestor with DNA photolyase enzymes. These are light-activated enzymes that use blue/UV-A light to repair DNA damage caused by UV-B radiation in plants. Synergistic. Effective quantum efficiency of photosystem II, often denoted as ΦPSII, represents the proportion of light absorbed by Photosystem II (ΦPSII) that is actually used in photosynthetic electron transport. It is a key indicator of how efficiently a plant is using light for photosynthesis, as opposed to losing it as heat or fluorescence. ΦPSII (effective quantum yield of photosystem II) functions primarily as a "multiplier" (a coefficient of efficiency) rather than an additive factor when estimating the overall photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR). Multipliers are considered far more beneficial than additions because they generate exponential growth, leverage existing resources to their full potential, and create sustainable, self-multiplying capacity, rather than just incremental, linear increases. This fascinating observation is rooted in the intersection of subatomic geometry, fractal scaling, and quantum dynamics. In specific molecular arrangements—such as in conjugated polymer networks or biomolecular architectures—the Golden Ratio (PHI) naturally dictates energy scaling hierarchies and resonance dynamics. Mathematically tied to the fine-structure constant, which defines the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. The Golden Ratio can be mapped geometrically as the Golden Angle (137.5 degrees) in atomic structures, linking the charge of the electron to fundamental quantum constants like Planck's constant. An electromagnetic wave is neither electric nor magnetic, but a combination of both. 137.5 The Golden Angle (137.5) This angle is derived from the Golden Ratio (1.618). It is the smaller of two angles created when a circle is divided such that the ratio of the arcs equals the Golden Ratio. An electromagnetic wave (like light or radio waves) is not a static electric field or a static magnetic field, it is a self-propagating combination of both. An oscillating electric field creates an oscillating magnetic field, which then regenerates the electric field. They feed off each other and travel together through space at the speed of light, carrying energy without needing a material medium. The Fine-Structure Constant Alpha (Α/α): In quantum physics, is the approximate denominator of the fine-structure constant (often represented by the Greek letter Alpha (Α/α). It is a fundamental, dimensionless number that dictates how strongly charged particles (like electrons) interact with the electromagnetic field. Its value has puzzled physicists for over a century, as it bridges quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and relativity. In quantum mechanics, Omega (Ω/ω) usually represents angular frequency. When applied to "quantum coherence"—the ability of particles to exist in overlapping states without immediately degrading—is key to calculating how long these states last. The Golden Angle, the value 137.5° is the geometric Golden Angle. It is derived from the Golden Ratio (1.618) and is famously responsible for the beautiful, mathematically optimized spiral patterns found in nature (such as sunflower seeds, pinecones, and leaf arrangements). Because of this, theoretical physicists and mathematicians have long speculated about why nature relies so heavily on the number 137 and the golden angle to govern everything from subatomic light interactions to the macroscopic geometry of the universe. Quantum coherence allows particles to maintain superposition and entanglement. In realistic, open environments, interactions with a noisy background typically cause decoherence, destroying the system's quantum information. A major challenge in quantum physics and quantum computing is preventing this decoherence at large scales. In quantum optics and driven systems, the Greek letter Omega (Ω/ω) often represents the Rabi frequency, which dictates the strength of the coherent driving laser or electromagnetic field interacting with the quantum system. The interaction of light and water generates specific Coherent Domains. Trapped electromagnetic fields cause water molecules to vibrate in unison at a coherent frequency, separating the liquid into structured quantum areas and an unstructured phase. When water interacts with hydrophilic (water-attracting) surfaces, the energy from UV and Infrared light can drive the formation of larger, structured layers known as Exclusion Zone (EZ) water. Exclusion Zone (EZ) water represents a structured, negatively charged phase of water critical to cellular biology. Driven by light energy and hydrophilic surfaces, this ordered state acts as a natural biological battery, with far-reaching implications for cell function and human health. In this domain, water molecules arrange themselves into a highly ordered, negatively charged lattice that excludes solutes and particles. At higher energy levels, UV light acts as a catalyst for photochemical reactions. Photons can provide enough energy to break the hydrogen and oxygen bonds in molecules, resulting in free radicals and a plasma of quasi-free electrons. This transfer of electrons forms the fundamental basis for redox reactions and energy metabolism in ALL biological systems. Input: The energy, time, and focus you dedicate. Process: Continuous growing, refining, and learning. Output: A superior, highly polished final product.

There is little to say yet. I recommend everyone to try this technique at least once. Maximize your harvest and increase your personal experience. If you want more serious proof of how mainlining works, take a look at the diaries of @Canamatoes, my teacher and mentor. More updates later, stay high🤘😁🦄

Excellente souche de Green Barato les colas sont de plus en plus gros et givré, elle a une odeur très remarquable d'agrumes frais.

Chopped today, not enough room in dry tent to give her 48 hours in dark prior. The 4 tops didn't develop as well as hoped. It was the first time I topped an auto twice and still ran out of room. On the plus side the plant developed more uniformed. Buds were dense, hard. Hung 4 candelabra looking tops, the rest hung in bread wire chains. Great colors, decent gassy smell. Updates on weight and smoke in about 3 weeks.

Ci sono più di trenta gradi di temperatura ormai e la notte la temperatura non è più fresca. Poco da dire su queste varietà impeccabili e bellissime e molto abbondanti. Ogni varietà autofiorente della dutchfemseeds è una vera soddisfazione, continuano a riempirsi tutte di infiorescenze appiccicose e profumate e alcune colorate. Continuano a produrre resina e le infiorescenze si stanno gonfiando e indurendo molto. Alcune superano il metro e cinquanta centimetri di altezza, la maggioranza sono più di un metro e molto diramate e piene di infiorescenze. Se continuano così tra un paio di settimane iniziamo a raccogliere le più mature! Resistono molto agli afidi infatti sono meno presenti visto che la resina appiccicosa inizia a dare fastidio a tutti i parassiti quindi è un bene! Un abbraccio a tutti forza Dutchfem

Comming soon

Hello! 32 sprouts feel great! In 2 weeks I will choose the 16 best plants. and transfer them to flowering mode. The fight for a place in the grow tent begins! Only the strongest will remain!

Week 6, 2 weeks outside, first week was a blast, fantastic wheater good night temps. Second week was much colder. Daytime temps just tipping 20 degrees celcius in the sun. Nighttime was between 6 and 7 degrees. Pictures are plant 1 in the shed with transparent roof. Not a real serre, its more just a roof and some protection against most of the elements of nature. Video is plant 2, she's hardening because of the harsh nights. She didnt grow as much as plant 1, but looks healthy, goal number 1 at this moment. Better times are coming so all will settle. 🍀🍀🍀

Plantitas sanas Terminando su 3ra semana de flora...
