CBD Crack.
@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New video of the girls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. Video of the girls this morning. Kl 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Videos added. KL. 23.00. New video.

I've cut down on grow at this point as the soil seems to have a lot. I'll feed for another week then think about Flushing. The kalimist will keep getting fed bloom and grow as its only been flowering for about 3 weeks due to taking longer to force flower.

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) โ€“ Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24โ€“27ยฐC, RH 55โ€“60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. ๐Ÿ‘‰ In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Day 64, 22nd of November 2021: Hi there! Here we go..... so basically pistils are appearing stronger this is the 2nd weeks since they started producing pre flowers. The plants getting a bit light might be some air circulation problem? However they look good and of course closer to the end the gettin' older so the leaves also die. Set up and timing is the same since flower season started. ViparSpectra XS2000 is on full power which is 240W so 100% capacity. Ventilation: 12 hours period when the lamp is on it switches 1 hour on and after one hour off mostly to keep the temperature and of course because of fresh air flow. When the lamp is off it switches on in every 2 hours for 15 min at the same time with the extraction fan. The extraction fan is on 12 hours when the lamp is, and then it switches on in every 2 hours for 30 min. That's all a bit more water for them from today also. Humidity quite the same approx 50%, temperature as well approx 26-27 Celsius. Fertilization remains the same since last week, the BioBizz family raised up to be 2ml/L each so it is like 2ml/L of BioGrow, 2ml/L of BioBloom, 2ml/L of TopMax... see the ratio above. The schedule of the fertilization has not changed happnes 2x a week except epsom salt just 1x a week.

I was unable to use the full power of the Optic 2 LED due to height and heat issues. This was impacting the amount of light each plant was receiving thus stunting their growth (youโ€™ll see the before and after pictures above). I have now brought/installed the HLG 260w Rspec and have noticed a improvement. The new light covers the canopy well and I am now able to give the plants more light which will hopefully help them develop better buds. The Dos-Si-Dos have responded well and is really starting to pack on some weight and she is starting to form some nice buds I will continue to use my PK to help her along, next time I will start the PK at the first sign of flower as I feel from week 4 is a little late. Happy growing ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฟ

Candy Rain Auto By Zamnesia
๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 12 โœจ The Glamorous Survivor Is Getting Louder and Louder ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well... Our solo survivor has apparently decided that being quiet and elegant was not enough anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's getting louder. And louder. And louder. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ The stacking is becoming impossible to ignore. The flowers are becoming more substantial. She's continuing to build all over the plant. And every time I look at her, I find another little detail that wasn't quite as obvious the week before. She's beautiful. She's becoming more impressive. And she's definitely making herself heard now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ This is Candy Rain Auto. Our survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our solo girl. And at this point... she's basically saying: "Okay, enough talking. Look at what I'm building." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ So... let's look. 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ฌ WEEK 12 โ€“ SHE'S GETTING LOUD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are plants that quietly develop. There are plants that suddenly explode. And then there is Candy Rain... who appears to have chosen the middle ground and simply keeps getting louder every single week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing flowers throughout her structure. And the whole plant is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. What I really like is that there isn't just one area doing all the work. The flowering structures are developing throughout the plant. You look at one branch... then another... then another... and there's always something happening. Another flower. Another developing cola. Another little section gaining volume. Another area catching the light. It's becoming a beautiful, continuous story. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ 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 STACKING, STACKING & 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”€ This is probably the biggest thing I notice this week. She's stacking. And she's stacking beautifully. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The structures are getting more substantial. And the plant is starting to look less like a girl who is simply flowering... and more like a girl who has decided: "Right. We're building now." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I absolutely love watching that transition. Because we've been following this plant from much earlier in the run. We've watched her establish herself. We've watched her flower. We've watched her develop. We've watched the first flowers become larger structures. And now... we're watching those structures continue to stack and gain presence. That's the beauty of doing these weekly diaries. You don't just see a plant. You see the progression. 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“ข SHE'S GETTING LOUDER 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 keep coming back to that word. Louder. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ Because visually... that's exactly how it feels. She's making herself known. The flowers are becoming more obvious. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The overall plant is becoming more substantial. And the closer we get... the more she seems to say: "Hello? Are you looking at me yet?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, Candy Rain. We are. We definitely are. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒผ THOSE PISTILS ARE CHANGING 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 now we're starting to see another little part of the story develop. The pistils. ๐ŸŒผโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ She's beginning to change their colour. We're starting to see some of that earlier bright, warm appearance evolve. They're no longer all sitting there looking exactly the same. There's a transition happening. And I really enjoy watching this because it's one of those small visual details that becomes much more obvious when you follow the same plant week after week. She's still carrying plenty of green. She's still very much a green girl. But we're beginning to see those little changes developing within the flowers. And that's another reminder that she's moving. She's progressing. She's following her own rhythm. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels forced. She's simply moving along exactly as she seems to want to. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’š 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’š STILL PLENTY OF GREEN 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 yes... there's still a lot of green. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Candy Rain is not suddenly turning into an autumn postcard. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green foliage. And that's perfectly fine. She's still developing. She's still stacking. She's still bulking. She's still doing her thing. I don't want to force the story into some expectation of what she "should" look like at a particular moment. That's one of the things this whole project has taught me. Every plant has its own rhythm. Every phenotype expresses itself differently. And Candy Rain is telling us her story in her own language. So... we watch. We document. We appreciate. And we let her continue. 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 SHE'S FOLLOWING HER OWN RHYTHM 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 girl has never really been interested in following anybody else's schedule. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I love that. She's moving according to her own rhythm. Not necessarily screaming ahead. Not necessarily taking forever. Just... moving. Perfectly. At her own pace. And I think that's one of the most important things to recognize in a room like this. When you've got twelve different plants sharing one environment, you're going to see different speeds. Different structures. Different expressions. Different reactions. And that's exactly what makes the 8ร—8 Adventure so interesting. Candy Rain isn't late. She isn't early. She's Candy Rain. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š And she's doing Candy Rain things. 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 SOLO SURVIVOR HAS BECOME A CHARACTER 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 still think back to how this girl started her story. She was our solo survivor. The one that remained. And somehow... she has evolved into one of the characters I most enjoy following. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ At first, the story was simply: "She's still here." Then: "She's growing." Then: "She's flowering." Then: "She's stacking." Then: "She's bulking." And now: "She's getting louder." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's quite an evolution. She may have started as the survivor... but she's definitely not behaving like a background character anymore. 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 FLOWERS EVERYWHERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Look around the plant... flowers. Look again... more flowers. Move closer... even more flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ That's what I love about this stage. The plant has developed enough structure that the flowers now tell most of the story. You can see the framework. You can see the branches. You can see the foliage. But your eyes keep getting pulled toward those developing flowering structures. And Candy Rain has plenty of them. She's filling her space beautifully. Not necessarily in some dramatic, explosive way... but consistently. And consistency is beautiful. Week after week. Flower after flower. Stack after stack. 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 PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TELLING THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Looking at this week's photographs, I really like how clearly the plant's progression comes through. The wider photographs show the overall structure. The closer photographs reveal the individual flowers. And then you get those little details... the pistils. The developing resin. The flower texture. The different stages of development across the plant. It's almost like looking at a little map of where she's been and where she's going. And honestly... I could probably keep photographing her all day. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because every time you change your angle, another flower catches your eye. 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 ROOM.

Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... different plants. Different genetics. Different expressions. Candy Rain is receiving the same general lighting environment as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're keeping them around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying depending on canopy height and position. The photons are the same opportunity. But Candy Rain decides what to do with them. And apparently... she wants to make flowers. Lots of flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ 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 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS DOING ITS JOB 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 really like what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this project. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do anything. But because we have more capability. We can create a broader lighting envelope. We can control the output. We can give the room the photons it needs without simply running everything flat out. And then... we observe. That's the interesting part. The light provides the energy. The plants interpret it. And Candy Rain? She's interpreting it beautifully. She's stacking. She's bulking. She's developing. She's getting louder. ๐Ÿฌโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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’š THERE'S NOT MUCH FOR ME TO DO 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”€ And honestly... this is probably the biggest thing I can say about this week. There's not much for me to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm looking. I'm observing. I'm checking. I'm supporting whatever needs support. I'm adjusting when something actually asks for an adjustment. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because she's doing beautifully. Why would I interfere with something that is already working? The plant has established her structure. The flowering sites are there. The flowers are developing. The stacking is happening. She's progressing. So my role becomes simpler. Observe. Respond. Support. And get out of the way. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š 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 GROWER'S JOB: EXIST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There comes a point in every grow where the plant basically tells you: "Okay... I've got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And Candy Rain is definitely approaching that conversation. She's doing her thing. She's asking for what she needs. And when she does... we respond. But otherwise? I'm just here. Existing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Watching her. Admiring her. Taking photographs. Writing about her. And occasionally saying: "Well... look at you." ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ Sometimes growing is incredibly complicated. And sometimes... the best thing you can do is let the plant grow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒผ THE COLOURS ARE STARTING TO TELL US MORE 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 changing pistils are one of the details I'm particularly interested in watching now. Earlier, those warmer yellowish tones were already giving Candy Rain a unique character. Now we're beginning to see more change. It's subtle. It's gradual. And it's exactly the kind of thing I enjoy documenting. Because this isn't about one photograph. It's about the sequence. Week 10. Week 11. Week 12. And suddenly you can see that little shift. That's the magic of a diary. You capture something that seems tiny today... and a few weeks later, you realize it was part of a much larger transition. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’š 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 AND YES... SHE'S STILL FROSTY 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 resin development continues as well. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฌ She's not finished showing us what she can do. The flowers continue carrying that beautiful frosty character. And combined with the changing pistils and all that green... she's developing a really lovely visual identity. Again... not necessarily the most dramatic plant in the room. Not necessarily the strangest. Not necessarily the biggest. She's simply... Candy Rain. And honestly? That's more than enough. 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ฌ BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT TRYING TOO HARD โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't look like she's trying. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She just grows. She stacks. She develops. She changes. And somehow... she ends up beautiful. There are plants that look like they were designed for a magazine cover. And then there are plants where you keep watching them week after week and slowly realize: "Wow... I really like this girl." Candy Rain is that kind of plant for me. She's grown on me. Literally. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ 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”ฌ SAME ENVIRONMENT โ€“ DIFFERENT EXPRESSION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Again, for anyone discovering this diary for the first time... the 8ร—8 Adventure is about exactly this. We're not creating twelve completely different worlds. We're not changing everything every week for every phenotype. We're giving these plants a shared environment... and watching what genetics do with that opportunity. And Candy Rain gives us another beautiful example. Same room. Same photons. Same general nutrition. Same environmental strategy. Different expression. That's the experiment. And that's why I never get tired of seeing another week unfold. Because even when nothing dramatic changes... the plants are still changing. Quietly. Gradually. 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”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION 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”€ As with the rest of the room, the flowering nutrition remains at: 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 remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Candy Rain. Same general room-wide strategy. Same nutritional foundation. And then... we observe what she does with it. She's doing 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”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 12 โ€“ 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 continues broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

And another beautiful chapter from Candy Rain. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ 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 SHE'S ENTERING THAT BEAUTIFUL "JUST WATCH" PHASE 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 that's the best way to describe where we are now. Just watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Watch the flowers. Watch the stacking. Watch the colour. Watch the pistils. Watch the resin. Watch the plant. And when she asks for something... we respond. Otherwise... let her do what she does. This is where patience becomes part of the grow. The plant doesn't need us to make something happen every day. Sometimes... she just needs time. And Candy Rain is using that time 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” 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”€ So what am I looking for? Honestly... more of the same. ๐ŸŒธ Continued stacking. ๐Ÿฌ Continued bulking. ๐ŸŒผ Further changes in the pistils. โ„๏ธ Continued resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Watching all that green evolve naturally. ๐Ÿ‘€ And simply seeing where her own rhythm takes her. I'm not trying to predict exactly what she's going to look like at the end. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm just enjoying the progression. Because right now... she looks happy. She looks beautiful. And she looks like she's enjoying herself. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœจ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET CANDY RAIN SHINE 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 12. Candy Rain Auto. Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's stacking. She's bulking. She's getting louder. She's changing. Her pistils are beginning to shift colour. She's still carrying plenty of beautiful green. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's becoming more impressive by the week. There's not much for me to do now. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. I'll exist. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll observe. I'll support whatever she needs. I'll make adjustments when they're actually necessary. And otherwise... I'll let her be. Because she's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š This girl doesn't need me to write her story for her. She's writing it herself. One flower. One stack. One week at a time. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy the colours as they begin to change. Let's watch those flowers continue to build. And let's see how loud this beautiful girl can get. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฌ Candy Rain... keep doing your thing. Keep stacking. Keep bulking. Keep changing. Keep surprising me. And most importantly... keep being you. Because whatever you're doing... it's working beautifully. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who stops by to see what the girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Candy Rain? You're getting louder. You're getting bigger. You're stacking. You're changing. You're becoming more beautiful every week. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ You started this adventure as our solo survivor. Now? You're one of the girls that I genuinely look forward to seeing every time I walk into the room. And that's something special. So this week... the spotlight belongs to you. ๐Ÿฌโœจ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep enjoying the journey. And let's let this beautiful girl continue moving at her own rhythm. No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary interference. Just observation... support... and appreciation. Because sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is simply stand back and say: "She's got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒฟ And Candy Rain? I think she's got this. Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the flowers keep stacking, the colours keep changing, the photons keep flying, and our solo survivor keeps getting louder and louder and louder. ๐Ÿฌ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine.

The weather in my country suddenly got warmer unexpectedly. That's why I'm having problems with the temperature. Still, it seems to be going well for now. I watered on the 51st day. I will do it again today and with full fertilizer.
