D47 Defoliation

Hiiigh friends 🙌 Welcome to week 9. 😍 The plant's sun protection becomes more and more present and the odor becomes stronger. The tall lady is now the smallest but has the fatter buds. It remains exciting.. 😊 See you next week. 👋 Arturo for KannaKullektiv 🙏

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 7 | Finally Whispering That Flower Is Coming Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following this diary, you'll know that Passion Fruitz has become one of the most fascinating plants in this entire project. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's flowering the fastest. Quite the opposite. She's teaching us that sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that refuse to follow the schedule we expected. Every other lady in the room has already settled into flowering. Meanwhile, Passion Fruitz has continued building herself, almost completely ignoring the fact that she's been growing under a 12/12 light schedule since the day she broke through the soil. This week, however... Something finally changed. 🌱 Why We're Calling This Week One of Flower Technically, she's still only in pre-flower. The first signs are there. Tiny white pistils are beginning to appear. The growing tips are changing shape. The plant is slowly transitioning from producing leaves into producing flowers. Is she fully flowering yet? Not really. But every flowering journey has to begin somewhere, and this week feels like the true beginning of that transition. So for the sake of documenting this phenotype consistently, I'm officially calling this her Week One of Flower. She's finally telling us she's ready. She's just doing it in her own time. And honestly... That's exactly what makes this phenotype so interesting. 🌿 The Bush That Never Stopped Growing Standing at approximately 66 cm tall, Passion Fruitz remains one of the shortest ladies inside the tent. But don't mistake short for small. She's become an incredibly dense, wide, and vigorous bush. Large fan leaves. Thick stems. Strong side branches. Beautiful spacing throughout the canopy. Instead of stretching vertically, she's invested her energy into building a broad, healthy framework. Looking at her now, I can't help wondering just how enormous she might have become if I had given her several weeks of vegetative growth before flowering. Considering she's been under 12/12 from seed, her ability to keep producing vegetative growth for so long has been remarkable. 🍃 Healthy, Lush & Full of Life Every time I look at this plant, one thing immediately stands out. The colour. Her foliage is rich, vibrant, and beautifully healthy. The large fan leaves almost glow under the lighting, while fresh new growth continues emerging from nearly every branch. She may be taking her time to flower, but she's certainly not wasting that time. Every day she seems to become stronger. Healthier. More prepared for what's ahead. Sometimes patience really does reward the grower. 🌱 Low Stress Training — Guiding, Never Forcing Low Stress Training has continued playing an important role throughout her development. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, LST simply encourages branches to spread out, exposing more growing tips to light while maintaining a level canopy. Combined with occasional leaf tucking, it allows airflow to improve naturally while opening the plant without causing unnecessary stress. It's one of my favourite techniques because it works with the plant instead of against her. Passion Fruitz has responded beautifully. Her canopy is open. Balanced. Healthy. And ready for flowering whenever she decides it's time. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week's feeding remained exactly in line with the rest of the flowering room: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. Even though she's only just entering pre-flower, consistency remains the priority. The goal isn't to force development. It's to provide everything she needs so she can continue progressing naturally. 💡 Under Canopy Lighting From Day One One thing I'm particularly curious about with this phenotype is how she'll respond to the Lumiflora under canopy lighting. Unlike most of the other ladies, which received the additional light after flowering had already begun, Passion Fruitz has been benefiting from it while still building her structure. Although she doesn't yet need extra support for developing buds, those lower branches have been receiving additional light from a very early stage. Will that help her build stronger lower flower sites later? Will the lower canopy develop differently compared to the other phenotypes? Only time will tell. That's one of the reasons I love documenting projects like this. Sometimes the biggest discoveries are the ones you never planned to make. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues providing the stable conditions shared by every plant in this project: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these variables consistent allows the genetics—not environmental changes—to tell the story. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this incredible plant. The full plant images reveal an impressively dense canopy despite her relatively modest height. The close-ups showcase beautifully healthy foliage, rich green colour, vigorous new growth, and those very first hints that flowering is finally beginning. Every picture tells the same story. She's been slow. But she's never stopped growing. And now she's finally preparing for the next chapter. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I'm hoping to see more white pistils appearing across every growing tip as pre-flower gradually develops into true flowering. I'm not expecting explosive bud formation just yet. Knowing this phenotype, she'll probably continue doing everything at her own pace. The stretch may begin slowly. The first clusters of calyxes should become more noticeable. And I'm especially curious to see how the Lumiflora under canopy lighting influences those lower branches as flowering finally gets underway. One thing is certain. Whatever she decides to do... She'll do it on her own schedule. And after watching her these past weeks, I've learned not to rush her. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz has reminded me that growing isn't about trying to force every plant into the same timeline. It's about understanding that every phenotype carries its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing its genetics. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the fantastic genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment every single day. ✨ Lumiflora for providing the under canopy lighting that's helping every branch receive the best possible opportunity to perform. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply enjoying this adventure with me. The first flowers may only just be arriving... But sometimes the slowest journeys become the most memorable ones. I'll see you all next week as Passion Fruitz continues writing her own unique story, one leaf, one pistil, and one flower at a time. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

day 52 update- the nutrient problem is apparently gone now and the buds keep growing so I did nothing special this week- The scrog mess is nicely covered with tails and there is not more burning issues.

Week 5 of 8 begins for LSD. She looks good, very frosty and sticky with a berry citrus smell. Did a little defoliation as well. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

Week 3 males developing right on time! Pollen will be dispersing soon. So now trying to nail down who daddy was? Week 3 day 1 males looking very nice, no sign of either one showing female flowers( no hermaphrodite/ true male) but I will stress them more after reveg for severe stress test. For final results. Looks like I forgot to feed mom! Shit! But I did not.I used bio tone starter 5-1-1 by Espoma gonna feed in am. With tomato tone with myco 3-4-6 it's all I got and organic to boot 👍 Last grow with Captains cake went to 11 weeks 2 - 3 applications should get me to finish line. No flush should be needed, it's feeding the seeds growth. Looking at 07/01/2018 harvest. Fingers crossed! 05/05/2018 First burst of male pollen is flying in the air, gonna try to get video of it as I shake the males. I am brewing tea with worm castings unsulphured molasses,topped off with protilizer immediately after brewing it. Give them a little love (Tea) while they are making seeds👊

Consider 14 weeks the flowering process itself at when i report i cut it also forced me to do the taste to something too fresh - ? So Consider this a final thoughts post as i wanted to show i slashed them,all at once as i was noticed that were on their limits on time range for a balace between not over ripe the g13 and not let mature enough santa bilbo chamos , it can be very easy to reveal what where each one as they were fuck very stable between them, that uniformity com from very stable bank indeed so fuck i eager to report & fly on some old school shit itself , and shit, this is fuck a sativa and indica differences so clear and by their own simple yet remarcable smell punch from dope lemon demon & sweet og hash ou that are refining from what stated last week & outperforming my own personal previous growof them personal SUCESS & SOPA DE MACACO & BIG GAS LEAKS N BIG DICK ENERGY 👌 . STILL A LOT TO IMPROVE HOMIES & I WILL DERIVE TO OTHER GROW TRY / FAIL / REPEAT & REPORT AF AS I CAN BE FOND OF THIS TIPE OF JOURNAL as on my time, were useful when searching from some previous insight on some grow experiment , or smoke reference as well, every shit can help even and sweet bless of autotranslate as well !

Getting ready for the switch to 12/12 and looking good starting to have a nice smell about the tent all ready cupla little experiments as ye can see in the video a think 1 might make it ✊

We are really happy to show youethe progress of the girl's, we are going to upload the week's that'we couldn't Upload from the app, we are getting really frosty on these two Epic Genetics Strains, the epical widow and epic spigol Field, both really beautiful Strains

11/17 Week 8 Man I will be glad when this grow is over, if making mistakes promotes learning well... Im a fricking PHD ... Ok progress on Maggie the yellow is limited to the very top as buds are building in particular those a couple inches from the top. Thinking another root drench is in order, cant hurt and letting her dry a bit as a prep. Looks like tomorrow Layla doing ok she exhibits far fewer problems but the same issue are present she is just a hell of plant along with the Runtz which she shares the tent. Thinking about the feeding tomorrow will decide what to do then. They have plenty of time to finish up, had some issues on germination on the grow following so looks like it may be delayed a week from the scheduled 2 weeks. Maggie may need it. 11/19 Have stumbled onto to something it seems. The further I move the lights out, they are now at twice the "ideal" placement of 14" at 28" and the yellowing is disappearing to a great extent. Problem with this of course is not enough light at bud sites not on the canopy which lets face it is most of your bud. It is absolutely something that makes the plants insanely susceptible to light burn. New one for me but maybe some of yall know so making a question of it. Pics at lights out only and I missed today so new pics later if I get back in time. Update : Defoliated and tightened training on all three to spread things out from the center and open up the light and air paths. Raising the lights is working just wish I knew why as lights are higher than crap with little room for more than a few more inches. Would drop the watts to 450 but need the heat to keep the grow room level as our temps here swing 40 degrees all the time. Something I learned with the help of a carbon filter. If things normalize will begin dropping lights to see what happens. 11/20 Setting the lights at 24" as I am not risking yield any further than that on Layla and the Runtz, Have the canopy as level as it can be with Brandy getting the least light being on a coco coir block (heh) for height, which she is responding well to since I opened up the plant and no longer worried over mold issues in that main bud. Have Layla on a milk crate to bring her into decent light as well as the Runtz. She is just a lovely thing building those white crystalline buds. Maggie has turned into a beast at least I know her root ball is huge from the growth above. Seriously defoliated her removing several small lower branches and leaves blocking light and air paths. Next feed will be continuing what seems to be working, Epsom salt and bloom nuets (no calmag with epsom salt) with a foliar feed after lights out which may well be with calmag. Foliar feeding today at lights out, one quart sprayer with 1ml CaliMagic and 0.5ml wetting agent un-PH warmed to 75 F before spraying (our tap water comes out at @50F so...), just trying to hit hard and effective * New Pics after foliar Update Folks its taken 8 weeks and a final piece of the puzzle provided by Grey_wolf resulted in a near full strength cal-mag foliar feeding and the last def bites the dust. See what happens from here but its the first time I have felt good about this grow since the bad time germing at week one. *big sigh of relief* Have a whole list of things I will never do again in soil more about that at harvest. Right now I need to work on why calcium is blocked at the roots but thats another day right now I just wanna look at em. 😁 11/22 Another foliar feed same as before just diluted 30% and all three got it today JIC Cannot find a pale leaf or top and hairs are standing up on the top buds for once and buds building nice on the lower ares the defs were cleared up first. Going to stop the foliars for a few days see what happens but will resume at first sign of need. Maggie has potential even after all this and we going to help her be all she can :D 11/22 Feeding day - Bio-Bloom 7ml - calmag 4ml - Recharge .5tsp / gal at 6.5PH to all three. No foliar today 11/23 The thickness of the hair growth on Layla is amazing! Will try and get pics at lights out of it if my crappy camera will catch it. Never seen anything like it, once again THIS this is what we intended by growing Stardawg :) Update: Pics and vid hope it comes through well enough as for the green in that tent and the dense hairs on Layla

Feed log; D:34 - 4.0L + 4.0L - [pH 6.8] Si[1.2ml] ,Vega[9.5ml], Flores[15ml],Ca[0.3g/L/]Mg[0.1g/L] INPUT; [1.75 EC] OUTPUT; 2.7L pH [6.0] [1.27 EC] previous irrigation: D:30 ——————————————————————————— Everything’s running great, and the stretch has started slowing down. Today I included a foliar of some “seaweed/humic bio stimulant,” being careful not to spray the flower tufts. I’ll include this booster into my main regimen as a chelating agent to improve micronutrient uptake and support overall plant stress tolerance ? Other than that I’ve increased the PAR level from 550 to 650 ppfd and will slowly increase to 850 ppfd over the course of flower.

No signs of flowering yet, maybe slight formation of calxys beginning. Been spraying with molasses, neem, cal mag and liquid kelp (bioweed) and superthrive just once to hopefully delay flowering to increase yield. P.S. if youre new at growing DO NOT try this unless you know what your doing with hormones etc. Theres a chance it can turn your girls hermie. Just be aware!

Week 2 Day 6 Flower Super happy with this grow so far! I've been defoliating them every couple or few days up until last night when I removed all the lower growth which didn't make it to the canopy/net and a fair amount more leaves which shaded branches. Going into week 3 of flower I will continue to defoliate if need be but I don't think I will have to do much we will see if they stretch more growth or slow down and start flower production. Thanks for looking in everyone Happy Christmas Fire Farmer 🔥👨‍🌾

09/14/22 plant is growing nice. Leaves have a mutation, I think will be fine.

Hola a todos!! Esta semana he regado con fertilizantes (dia 52) con 1 litro de agua y 1.5 ml de Top auto - top bloom -top candy Ph 6.4 ec 600 y 1 litro solo de agua, manteniendo ambos valores de ec y ph respectivamente. Y al momento de drenar seguía alto el ph (7.8) y ec 980ppm. El dia 55( ayer 07/10/25) volvi a regar pero no controle drenaje, regue con un ph más bajo 6.1 y ec 600ppm. La planta esta recien terminando esta semana empezó a mostrar algo de resina.😋😋😋. En cuanto a su altura no creció más, solo se dedico a engordar los cogollos.

Day 65, 17th of November 2020: Welcome back at the beggining of the 3rd week of flowering. They seem to be stopped streching and now concentrating on buds. All of them are gorgeous..... The 2 Zamnesia genetics Gelato and Kalini Asia are pretty and buds are forming nicely. Kalini Asia might strech a bit more but not long. The Sweet Seed ones are really nice and I am so happy because Red Hot Cookies is already getting red.... pistils and around the leaves.. I hope the same happens to the Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison also. They are so gorgeous. They calmed down I don't expect more strech. Fertilization still the same every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. Some lollipopping (Defoliation) is also done. I removed all the LST the plant remains in the same shape from now. 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.

Touch it sticky fingers. Smell is amazing, fire!!! 30 G 20 Micro 10 B 15 cal 15 sb

Hello everyone Welcome 🙂 Alright.. We are today at the end of week eighteen with this beautiful lady, WEDDING CAKE 🍰🌳 Last upgrade before the harwest ✂️ She's completly purple and she has a good amount of trichomes👌 Aroma is so nice , I can't wait to try 🤩🔥 Now I think I will cut in about two or three days After that I will dry her , entire plant for about five to seven days ..then , I will do an accurate manicure without strip off the buds from the branches.. Finish this process I will put the flowers in a brown bag, for about two/three days.. Then , I will cut of the flowers from the branches and I will put them in to the jar , and I start the curing process.. Usually I cure the buds for about three to fourth weeks📆 And I will started to use they about two months later🔝🏆 And thats all🙌 It was very lovley to watch this plant growing , especyally in this last months.. Great work Original Sensible 🤝 See you guys in Julay Thank you so much for all the support you was give for me and her in this months , or just now 🙂🙏 Hope you was enjoyed like me 😎👍 Always growing and high like the Space X 🚀 Ciao✌️ 🇮🇹 I have use the same metodology with this others two cultivars You can find they in the link below 😉👇👇 BRUCE BOGTROTTER (Bruce Banner × Chocolope) Limited edition https://growdiaries.com/diaries/50528-original-sensible-seeds-bruce-b-chocolope-grow-journal-by-funclouds And.. BRUSSKI RUSSKI (Bruce Banner × White Russian) Limited edition https://growdiaries.com/diaries/50439-bruce-banner-white-russian-grow-journal-by-funclouds

Another week almost over, the girls are beautiful and smell great. Apparently everything is under control, I'm really looking forward to the results. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱
