Starting flush on both think blueberryz z will be ready by next week limoncello about 5 days after. Going to do a cold shock on then start of next week try get some purples. Blueberryz has stretched something rotten know what todo next time to stop that. Limoncello just perfect got 2 more seeds thunk may make one

Feeling pretty good about the grow so far if anyone thinks I should something to improve the grow let me know but I think I got under control and will continue with the feeding schedule my gsc is lookin pretty bad tho!

Well day 63 in flower and still maybe only 25% red hairs. 022320 - day 68 flower, still 50% white hairs, almost time to start watching trichs 😁.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 1 Flower 🍬 The Little Engine That Could Every grow has one plant that reminds us why patience is such an important part of this hobby. Candy Rain continues to be that plant. As the only survivor from this folder, she has quietly fought her way through a slower start while the rest of the room raced ahead. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely my mistake, but that's part of growing too. Every mistake teaches something valuable, and Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that healthy plants don't all follow the same timetable. This week officially marks her first week of flowering. While most of the room is already well established in bloom, Candy Rain has finally reached that exciting milestone, proving once again that genetics decide the pace—not us. This diary continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, illuminated by the Future of Grow Black Series LED, complemented by the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain continues writing her own unique story. And honestly... She's beginning to surprise me. 🌱 Week 1 Flower – Finally Joining the Party Only one week has passed since the transition began, yet the difference is already easy to see. Standing at approximately 90 cm tall, she has enjoyed a healthy stretch during the past seven days, gaining over 20 cm while beginning to shift her energy fully toward flower production. She may still be one of the smaller plants in the room, but she's clearly making up for lost time. Fresh white pistils now cover every growing tip, and the first real flower clusters are beginning to form across the canopy. Each day the bud sites become a little more defined, slowly transforming from simple nodes into the foundation of future colas. The transition has been smooth, healthy, and exactly what I was hoping to see. Sometimes all a plant needs is a little extra time. 🌿 Plant Development Candy Rain has continued developing naturally with very little intervention. Low Stress Training carried out earlier in her life has left her with an open structure, while simple leaf tucking continues exposing future flowering sites without removing valuable fan leaves. There has still been no need for defoliation. The canopy remains airy, branch spacing is excellent, and airflow throughout the plant couldn't be much better. New growth continues emerging vibrant and healthy, while the leaves display a beautiful deep green colour that tells me she's completely comfortable with her current environment. Looking closely at the flowers, the first little crowns of white pistils are now appearing everywhere. They're still tiny. But every large cola starts exactly like this. 💧 Feeding Program Now officially in flower, Candy Rain has fully joined the flowering nutrition program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation The transition has been effortless. Her foliage remains beautifully balanced with no signs of deficiencies, excesses, or stress, and she's responding exactly how I'd hoped after making the move onto the flowering schedule. The roots remain healthy, water uptake is increasing, and the overall plant simply looks happy. Sometimes the plants tell you everything without saying a word. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remain stable throughout the flowering room: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: 639 ppm The consistency inside the room continues allowing every plant to focus entirely on growth rather than recovery. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, balanced humidity, and reliable irrigation remain one of the biggest reasons this project continues progressing so smoothly. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also sees Candy Rain benefiting from the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing exceptional light from above, the additional Lumiflora bars are designed to deliver extra intensity beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that naturally receive less light. It's still far too early to draw conclusions, but I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional lighting influences lower bud development, flower density, and overall canopy uniformity over the coming weeks. As always, I'll let the plants tell the story rather than making assumptions before harvest. 🌸 Phenotype Thoughts One thing Candy Rain has already reminded me is that size doesn't always predict quality. She may not be the tallest or the fastest plant in the room, but healthy structure, vigorous growth, beautiful leaf colour, and balanced development are often far more important than chasing height alone. Some of the most memorable harvests I've ever grown came from plants that never looked like the biggest stars during flowering. Will Candy Rain surprise me? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly what makes growing so enjoyable. Every plant writes its own ending. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I'm expecting the flowering stretch to continue before gradually slowing as more energy shifts toward building flowers. The small clusters of pistils should begin stacking into more defined bud sites, resin production may start making its first appearance, and it'll be fascinating to see whether Candy Rain continues closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Whatever happens, I'll continue giving her exactly what she's asked for from the very beginning: Time. 🙏 Final Thoughts Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that growing isn't about comparing plants. It's about understanding them. Some explode out of the soil from day one. Others quietly take their time before showing what they're capable of. She's still writing her story, and I'm more than happy to let her write it at her own pace. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic genetics, to Plagron for their consistently reliable nutrient line, to Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, and to Lumiflora for joining this project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to see what the combination of top and lower canopy lighting can achieve throughout the rest of flowering. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this 8×8 Adventure week after week. Your support, advice, encouragement, and passion for growing make documenting every stage of these plants an absolute pleasure. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

No more oh down. 2tbsp carbs, 2 tbsp flower2 soluble pk. Few drops of soluble N, few drops microbial mass, 1/2tbsp fish sh!t into 5 gal 1/2tbsp humic acid. All diodes on IR 50% to control less stretch for a week

The trichomes are starting to make themselves known On this one, also the smell is becoming a citrus like aroma which is one of my favorites, also No signs of deficiencies or anything yet so I hope it stays that way.

Everything went well appart from the afids in the end. She looks very pretty and smells awesome! Yield could be a litle higher... Still shooting for less than 1€/g. I think I will stop topping my plants. Maybe next time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials.

Week 8 is over and its starting to look like fall in the tent. Yellowing leaves galore on Pheno 2 and a god fade started on Pheno 1. I have just been feeding with water when dry and keeping vigile of leaves that should come off. Its important to stay aware of the yellowing leaves as they can cause mold issues when they decompose on the plant which in turn also raises humidity and can cause bud rot. Ive had this issue once before when it was particularly humid but I learned to pluck the dead leaves as they are no more use to the plant anyway and also incorporated a de-humidifier. I would say its a must as far as equipment for grows go as you never know when you may need it particularly in humid areas such as where I live and depending on the type of plant, vigorous growth tends to cause more humidity. A flan is also important as it moves the air around the tent and eventually out through the ventilation. Apart from leaf picking, I have just been admiring the tent and watching buds that may look like they will swell up to the point where the stalks cant hold the weight. Its inevitable and I will just tie them up as they start to fall. Anyway only 2 more weeks to go (maybe 1 and a half epending on the last swell and trichome head colour). Until next week ✌️

Day 44-21/05/22 everything is looking good I might take them out tomorrow do some light defoliation and move them about abit not sure yet!!!! . Day 47-24/05/22 they look real good today!!!!

Taking him a very long time, this strain’s life time is very long

Nutes, watering: We're flushing this week 4L water + 4l water pH ~6.4 Training: No training Environment: RH this week is between 40-45% lights ~45-50 DLI Growth: Almost no changes this week. Except the higher leaves are gettin' yellow and a bit purple. Trichomes look almost done. I'm waiting until i see just a slight touch of ambers on the flowers themselves.

Ahojte všetci otvárame kútok šťastia v 5.týždni Flower.Mám v sebe nostalgiu na film Critters , keď vidím tieto šišky 😀. Verím, že všetky problémy s xmag calmagom od Advanced nutriens sú už za mnou a môžem sa sústrediť už len na poctivé Vianočné priberanie na váhe mojich paličiek. Teraz chcem už len pre kitky stabilitu, pravidelné hnojky samozrejme všetko na mieru nepotrebujem si naháňať Ego koľko tá kitka zvládne. Lepšie ju držať nech žere je kľudná ako dať veľa rozhodiť ju a budeme na nervy obaja. Stabilita v kanvičke zabezpečí pôžitok pri fajočke. Na veľkú noc sa chlasce 👉 2.5L 👉Bloom A/2.5ml ,Bloom B/2.5ml, Rhino skin 1.2/ml Sugar Royal 2.2/ml Vitamaxpro 1ml, ktorý už dávam preč. Druhá Kitka dostáva 3ml základu Bloom A/B. Teplota deň Max 24.5° noc 21° vlhkosť sa pohybujem 53% vonku je to horšie 4 dni dážď,odvlhčovač sa plní a čakám kedy bude lepšie počasie. Samozrejme to ochladenie pomáha v noci púčikom a teplota v noci je lepšia a vyhovuje im. Tá kitka vľavo je hladná beštia a cucá Hnojky ako vysávač Rowenta 😀.Dnes 3.4 končím 5 týždeň Flower. Borci growu zdar a nech to rastie vždy a za každého počasia Váš kutil ✌️.

Deutsch: 🌿 Grow Diary – Blüte Tag 28 🌿 Heute genau ein Monat seit dem Umstellen auf 12/12 – wir sind offiziell am Ende von Woche 4 angekommen. Diese Woche haben wir ein leichtes Lollipopping gemacht ✂️ Alles im unteren Bereich, was kaum Licht abbekommt, wurde entfernt, damit die Pflanzen ihre Energie gezielt in die oberen Buds stecken können. Die Struktur ist jetzt deutlich cleaner und luftiger, was für bessere Lichtverteilung und Luftzirkulation sorgt. Die Buds entwickeln sich jetzt immer deutlicher und starten langsam in die richtige Massephase 🔥 Die Pflanzen wirken stabil, gesund und reagieren bisher genau so, wie man es sich wünscht. Ab jetzt wird’s spannend – die nächsten Wochen entscheiden über Ertrag und Qualität. 📅 Status: Blüte Tag 28 English: 🌿 Grow Diary – Flower Day 28 🌿 Exactly one month since switching to 12/12 – we’ve officially reached the end of week 4. This week we did some light lollipopping ✂️ Everything in the lower area that wasn’t getting much light was removed, so the plants can focus their energy on the top buds. The structure is now much cleaner and more open, improving both light penetration and airflow. The buds are developing more and more and are just starting to enter the real bulking phase 🔥 So far, the plants look stable, healthy, and are responding exactly how you’d want them to. Now it gets interesting – the next few weeks will define yield and quality. 📅 Status: Flower Day 28

11/03/18 Everything is going well. No issues at all. Plucking a leaf here n there but no real defoilation. Between the Black Magic Soil, and AACT this run has been smooth sailing no deficiencies or leaf damage at all. Humidity still cranked up to make up for the lack of humidity in veg. Will reduce over the next few weeks. 11/05/18 Decided to defoilate today. The plants always look sad to me and I feel bad. They always recover though and come back better then ever!
