Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 5 | The Lone Survivor Begins Her Journey Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every diary in this project tells a different story, and today’s update belongs to one of the most unique plants in the room. Meet Passion Fruitz. The only survivor from her seed pack. Sometimes growing reminds us that nature doesn’t always follow our plans. Not every seed germinates, not every seedling makes it through the first few days, and sometimes a single plant ends up carrying the hopes of an entire variety. Fortunately… She chose to fight. And she’s proving that determination can be every bit as important as speed. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of giving the plants an extended vegetative period before flowering, every seed has remained under a constant 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness since germination. The objective is simple: Allow every phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern while comparing how different genetics respond under identical environmental conditions. Every plant receives the same room… The same lighting… The same climate… The same care. Yet every single one develops its own personality. Passion Fruitz is certainly doing exactly that. ⸻ 🌿 Small in Size… Big in Character Compared to some of the larger ladies sharing the room, Passion Fruitz is definitely taking a slower approach. At around 25 cm tall, she’s currently one of the most compact plants in the entire project. She’s a few days behind some of the other genetics, but that’s perfectly normal. Every cultivar develops at its own pace, and this one has clearly decided that patience is part of her strategy. Rather than stretching aggressively, she’s building herself from the inside out. Short internodes. Dense branching. Compact growth. Everything about her suggests she’s focusing on creating a strong foundation before making her move. Sometimes the slow starters become the biggest surprises later on. ⸻ 🍃 Beautiful, Healthy Growth One thing that immediately stands out is the quality of her foliage. Her leaves are absolutely beautiful. Rich green colour. Excellent turgor. Compact node spacing. Healthy new growth continues to emerge from every growing tip, giving the plant a very balanced appearance despite her smaller stature. Looking closely at the newest growth, it’s easy to see she’s gathering momentum. She’s quietly preparing for the next chapter. ⸻ 💧 Feeding for Steady Progress Although she’s smaller than many of her neighbours, her feeding strategy follows the same philosophy used throughout this project. The nutrient solution has been carefully balanced to support healthy root development while providing everything needed for vigorous vegetative growth. Current feeding includes: • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • pH adjustment for optimal nutrient uptake Rather than pushing rapid growth, the goal is consistency. Healthy roots always build healthy plants. ⸻ 🌡️ The Environment Behind the Growth Like every plant in this room, Passion Fruitz benefits from a carefully controlled environment. Current conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67.7% • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Maintaining stable environmental conditions allows genetics—not environmental stress—to dictate how each phenotype develops. That makes comparisons between plants much more meaningful. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document every stage of her development. Studio portraits highlight her compact structure and beautifully symmetrical canopy. Close-up images reveal healthy new growth emerging from every node, while overhead shots showcase how dense and balanced the plant has become. I’ve also included updates from the grow room itself so everyone following this adventure can continue seeing not only the individual plants, but also the environment they’re growing in. Even though she’s currently one of the smallest ladies in the room, she certainly doesn’t lack personality. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead I’m genuinely excited to see how Passion Fruitz develops over the next few weeks. I have a feeling she’s simply operating on her own schedule. As her roots continue expanding and the plant settles completely into the container, I expect her growth rate to increase significantly. Sometimes the most rewarding plants are the ones that ask us to be patient. I’m not judging her by where she is today. I’m looking forward to discovering where she’ll be a month from now. And something tells me she still has a few surprises waiting for us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary tells a unique story, and that’s exactly what makes this project so rewarding to document. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a fantastic platform where growers from around the world can share knowledge, learn together, and celebrate the journey. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of growth. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable, carefully controlled environment day after day. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing advice, and joining me throughout this adventure. Whether a plant becomes the biggest in the room or the smallest survivor fighting her own battle, every one deserves her own story. Growers Love and Passion Fruitz has only just begun writing hers. 🌱💚

To start off the week I've only just noticed that instead of 2 leafs and branches on each inter-node they're is 3 nice little mutation going on.....It was all normal through gemination and seedling stage can't wait to see her flourish Day 29 Notes Removed the lower fan leaves and side branches so I have 4 main tops to train I had 6 when i topped Day 30 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven Trained the 4 main branches Day 33 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven and monkeys Root Shoot..also took a few fan leafs blocking lower branches

Easy harvest not a terrible amount of leaves. Drying can be difficult at times depending on weather conditions due to the density of the buds, watch close. Dry went well

Now for the hard part! Watching the trichomes turn amber to pull them at just the right time! Next post will be harvest! Thanks for following if you’re still here!

This girl is booming along colas starting to swell even more trichome coverage starting to reeks of rotten fruit kinda burns my nose a bit lol looks like she only has a few weeks left still waiting for the fade to start setting in loving these purple tips I'm going to get these branches spread out to get more light to inner colas she's so bushy don't look like I defoliated her but I did the added calmag had really helped I haven't seen any calmag spots so far running 6.2 ph lights at 100 percent give her a gallon of water every couple days now that I'm in late flowering I run one 24 hr cycle then let her rest for 8 hrs stopped using recharge jus feeding her heavy now starting to taper off so I can strating hitting her with the carbo flush and getting her ready for harvest so here's to another week of growing lfg

I cannot believe it, 14 days to go then I am going to harvest, I am confident that I would of flushed Lamby quiet thoroughly, for some reason weed needs it’s roots to flushed if you want a super smooth smoke, I wonder if fruit was the same as weed, would we flush the roots to get such tasty and juicy fruit or veggies, or would we bare with that sourness. The real test will be on the 15th of December when it comes to my test smoke, then I shelf Lamby until January after returning from the festive season, by then I would have achieve top tier curing.

Flowering Week 23: The Great Defoliation & Purple Hints Update: 17.08.2025 | Day 163 Hey Growmies, Week 23 was all about the snip-snip – gave both ladies a serious haircut and opened up them tight spaces. Airflow’s king now, and these girls are breathing easy. Here’s the wrap: Durban Poison – Cleaned & Gleaming After that defoliation, she’s standing tall like a proper little tree – clean stems, no clutter, just good light and air all through her core. The buds are frosting up with pistils that’s turning a soft, shy purple. Real pretty. Smell’s picking up too – still subtle, kinda old-school. Not like these new genetic gas-monsters. If I had to call it something? Flowery. Earthy-flowery. Simple. Honest. Blueberry – Tall, Late & Mysterious This girl’s still reaching – almost 2.20m now, though only three mains broke the 2m mark. Rest is hanging around 1.80m. Buds are forming slooow, pistils are shy. She’s blooming on her own damn schedule – way behind Durban. Started sexing at the same time, but now it’s like Durban’s sprinting and Blueberry’s strolling. Starting to sweat a little… if she’s too late, mold might sneak in when the autumn damp hits. We’ll see. Fingers crossed. What’s Next? Wait... Catch y’all next week. Stay easy. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Plant 1 is starting to fatten up nicely , if I had to guess its got about 3-4 weeks left yippee... Plant 2 is basically almost ready she is eating herself slowly , I'd give her about a week or two will see , all trics are milky so I don't know if I want to do amber as I have never tried a full milky sativa before .. Also plant 2 went much faster than I expected 10 to 12 weeks but now seems like its done... Obviously more of a hybrid pheno then ..the white pistols you see are just new ones that poped up the past couple of days.. Plant 3 is dying off unfortunately have no idea why..

The buds are getting thicker. But, so far, they do not impress me. Maybe it's genetics, I have a lot of experience with autoflowers, this is my first experience with photoperiod plants.

Day 70 after switch. its going to end soon I think. 65 - 70 days recomended by breeder. Maybe I will just not water again and let her slowly die 😱 she looks good - beatutifull almost - although I inspected a problem at one of the buds... more in my question that I will create. bigger leafs are getting soaked out of nutritions and start to get yellow. probably the last time you see her alive. I try to recap a little bit of the veg. phase in the upcoming week to get the diary a more "complete" look 😎 Also I will update you as soon as I got this in the glasses. thanks for your participation on my way with ralph wigum from root riot seeds (almicanna)👌

1st Day Of The Two Seeds I Planted Only One Has Sprouted As Of Yet

Ninguna observación más por el momento

Another week of growth in the books here. I am loving the flowers peyote forum is putting off. Starting to see some purple colours starting on these plant. Also noticing one of the plants starting to lose its colour which has me concerned as I saw some bugs on this plant a few weeks ago and sprayed for them, something to keep an eye on moving forward. I top dressed these plants with 1 tbsp/gallon of Power Bloom and hit them with a compost tea made up of worm castings, Bokashi Pro Gro, Molasses and Bat Guano. This will be the last feeding I give these plants.

Found another one

Vamos familia, estamos en la séptima semana de floración con estas Purple Og Kush de DutchFem. Las vemos con un buen color, bien sanas y van engordando y progresando correctamente. A subido un poco la altura pero no afecto tanto, ya imagino que seguiré dándole de comer porque pedir piden, una semana más por lo menos. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

👌

Day 29. Heavy work in progress, update will follow... Day 30. Job done, most lost almost all big fan leaves, all 3 Kushes where toped. In plans one more heavy training session in a week time, few days to recover and hopefully flower !!! Skunks overgrew Cheeses and start to smell, really to STINK ;)) And i love it !!! Next watering - full feed. Day 31. All Kushes have mini mag deficiency, but i get it with my lights often and know how to fight in early stages. All girls will get 3 feeds in a row. 1. CalMag only 2. Silica acid only 3. Full range of Biobizz feed. After installing new air fans, have to water girls almost every day. Try to feed them only once a week, but pot space taken in full by most of the girls and its time for first mini boost. Day 34. Girls got really heavy defoliation, HST , toping and LST session. First time in my life i trim toped plants so much, but they where reaching sky and stems too fragile for supercroping yet, i do it on branches, but not on mains. So i guess they will slow down a bit ;))) All girls got silica acid after. Happy Growing !

So, here we are. From now on I'd be updating this regularly and with good pics. As you can see it has changed very little. For me, the bud looks cool. Thanks to the defoliation and the lst y have grow another colas but smaller ones, definitely two techniques I will improve the best that I can. This journal is far for ending but it has giving me a lot of energy to get bigger and better. Lots of problems to overcome, but happy to do it!
