orange bud & king juice remaining king juice will prob get chop next week somwhere and the orange the week after that been giving them water 2x a week and 1x feed a week i gave them overdrive last week but i dont think i like it, evrytime i give it the next week my PH gets lowerd by 0.5-1 (dunno if this is normal for overdrive to do that?) and the plants starts to eat itself way faster then i want it to also my soil is past 10weeks now so the nuts inthere are gone

Last the buds matured nicely. Quite a sweet, candy grape funky gas terp. The buds are very dense and heavy. Colas are palm sized and I’m happy with the 10% amber. Chopped er down. Buds are crazy dense and hard. 4 plants and I harvested 3 lbs and 11oz’s! not bad. Tastes like candy grape gas/skunk.

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Now she is smelly!

Just been feeding, defoliated slightly. I've started feeding plagron sugar royal.

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

Die Woche ist die gute Weihnachtszucker-Glasur mehr und mehr geworden. Meine Damen fangen an Ihren Zucker mehr und mehr zu zeigen. Die ersten Haare färben sich auch langsam braun. Ich musste die Woche wenig machen und habe mich beschränkt auf das gießen ohne Hesi um ihnen die Woche so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Die Temperatur ist super und ich muss sagen die LED überrascht mich immer noch sehr sehr stark. Ich werde später noch Tagesaufnahme von den Pflanzen reinsetzen. Ich kann manchmal gar nicht meine Augen von der natürlichen Schönheit der Pflanzen nehmen. Ich wünsche alle einen schönen 1.Advent.

Anfang der Woche wurden alle Hauptriebe runtergebogen. 3 Pflanzen sind aber zu robust und der Hauptrieb zu dominant. Also darf er frei wachsen. Nochmal will ich sie nach BW2 nicht trainieren. läuft gut. ich bin zufrieden

➡️ Bella ragazzi, inizia una nuova settimana e le piccole crescono a vista d occhio, iniziano a farmi vedere le proprie infiorescenze e questa volta posso rendermi soddisfatto.

All in all a great genetic. Grew into insane colas. The photos above are of only half the total yeild as I have 8oz bagged up and sealed. After a weeks curing it has improved but not enough to really blow me away. I'll be back to seek my revenge in the future but for now its goodbye.

It's been 78 days since sprout, the plants are all still coming along nicely, getting heavier by the day even though it doesn't always seem like it. I always have difficulty realizing how much growth happens in a week. I felt like they hadn't bulked up much but then I looked back at my last update and clearly was wrong. I am trying to figure out how much time before harvest, but I am still leaning toward closer to 100 days. The plants are still being fed crop salt at the ratios posted a few weeks ago, currently I plan to do one more res change with full strength nutes and then after that two weeks of their Cake finishing nutrients (https://cropsalt.com/products/cake) which would put me a few days past 100 days with a harvest date of July 18th or 19th. This past week I also set up a Home Assistant dashboard to monitor the tent and added a camera as well. Kind of a bit late for this grow but it will be awesome for the next time around. Aside from the sensor in the tent, I have also purchased a wireless battery-powered temp and humidity sensor that will be going in the 5-gallon bucket I am going to use to cure. Here is a guide I made if anyone is interested in setting something similar up. https://gist.github.com/Jamal-J-Jackson/f47baa9e5a9f9534affa543583022abf#file-home-assistant-guide-md

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 Small Frame. Big Flowers. An Absolute Beauty. Some plants need space to become impressive. Pink Rosay doesn't. Standing at approximately 111 cm, she remains one of the most compact plants in the entire 8×8 Adventure. But somehow, when you look at her, she doesn't feel small. She feels complete. Dense. Elegant. Full. Every centimetre of her structure seems occupied by flowers, leaves and developing potential. She's one of those plants that reminds me that size and presence are two completely different things. And Pink Rosay has presence. This week, she also joined the group receiving a selective flowering defoliation. Again, not because there was anything wrong. Not because she was struggling. And not because I believe every plant needs to be stripped at a particular point in flower. She was actually looking fantastic. But she's a little more advanced than some of the plants around her, and when I looked closely at her structure, I felt that opening her up would benefit both her and the room. So we made some space. And now we're going to watch what she does with it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Compact Doesn't Mean Small Pink Rosay has always had her own way of doing things. She never chased the ceiling. She never tried to become the biggest plant in the tent. Instead, she's packed an incredible amount of flowering structure into a remarkably compact frame. At approximately 111 cm, she's still relatively short for this room. But look closer. The branches are carrying substantial flowering sites. The flowers are stacking. The calyxes are beginning to swell. The pistils remain beautifully bright. And the resin continues becoming more apparent. This is where I think the word "compact" can sometimes be misleading. She's compact in height. She certainly isn't compact in personality. And she definitely isn't compact in what she's building. There's a lot happening inside this little plant. ✂️ Defoliation – Making Space, Not Removing Beauty This week I decided to selectively defoliate Pink Rosay. And I want to explain the reasoning because defoliation is one of those subjects where growers can have very different approaches. For me, this wasn't about looking at the plant and thinking: "There are too many leaves." Healthy leaves are valuable. They're photosynthetic machinery, and I don't remove them simply because they're large or because I want the plant to look cleaner. Instead, I look at the relationship between the leaves, flowers, light and airflow. Pink Rosay has become quite dense. Her compact structure means that a lot of foliage and flowering sites are occupying a relatively small vertical space. As flowering progresses, that density can create areas where leaves overlap heavily, airflow becomes less direct and light has difficulty travelling deeper into the canopy. So this time, I selectively removed foliage that was contributing to unnecessary congestion. Not everything. Not aggressively. Just enough to open the architecture. 💡 Let The Photons Travel One of the reasons I like selective defoliation at this stage is that we're not necessarily trying to make every flower receive direct light. That's not the objective. We're trying to improve the distribution of the available light through the canopy. The Future of Grow Black Series is already delivering around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. There are plenty of photons available. The question becomes: How efficiently can the plant's architecture use them? When several large leaves overlap one another, some of that light is intercepted before it can reach deeper areas. By selectively removing leaves from congested sections, we can allow more light to penetrate into the canopy and reach leaves and flowering sites that were previously more heavily shaded. We're not creating more light. We're simply changing the path it takes through the plant. And with Pink Rosay being such a compact and dense phenotype, that can be particularly interesting. 🌬️ And Then There's Airflow Light isn't the only reason for opening a dense canopy. Air needs space too. As the plant becomes more compact and the flowers continue developing, airflow through the interior becomes increasingly important. Removing selected leaves creates little channels through the plant where air can move more freely. That helps reduce stagnant pockets inside dense foliage and makes the entire canopy easier to manage as flowering progresses. Again, this isn't about removing leaves because leaves are bad. It's about managing density. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant isn't giving her something. It's simply getting out of the way of what she's already doing. 🌿 A Plant With Serious Density And this is probably what impresses me most about Pink Rosay right now. She is dense. Not just in foliage. The flowering structure itself is becoming increasingly substantial. The individual flowers are beginning to look less like isolated flowering sites and more like components of developing colas. The calyxes are swelling. The pistils are still predominantly white. And the resin continues building across the flowers and sugar leaves. She's entering that beautiful transition where you can start seeing the architecture of the eventual harvest forming in front of you. I don't want to call it "bulking" just yet. I prefer thinking of it as stacking, swelling and building flower mass. But whatever word we choose... She's definitely building. And she's doing it beautifully. ❄️ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Personality The resin production continues to impress me. Looking closely at the flowers, there's already a visible layer of trichomes developing across the calyxes and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is still only Week 5 of flowering. The bright white pistils make everything even more dramatic. Against the deep green foliage, those flowers almost look illuminated from within. It's one of those combinations that makes photography incredibly rewarding. Dark green. Bright white pistils. Developing frost. And flowers that become more substantial every time I look at them. Pink Rosay is definitely starting to look like she knows exactly where she's going. 🌱 Why I Didn't Defoliate Everything This is important. After a defoliation, it's easy to look at a plant and think: "Why didn't you remove this leaf too?" Because more isn't necessarily better. I want Pink Rosay to retain enough healthy foliage to continue powering photosynthesis and supporting flower development. The objective was never to expose every flower. It was to improve the relationship between: foliage → flowers → light → airflow. Some leaves are still doing excellent work. Some flowers are still perfectly positioned beneath them. And some shading is completely natural. A plant doesn't need to look like a perfectly arranged artificial canopy. She's alive. She's dynamic. And I'm much more interested in creating a healthy, functional environment than achieving a perfectly clean photograph. Although... I have to admit... She does look pretty damn good after the cleanup. 😍 💡 Lighting From Above & Below The primary lighting remains the Future of Grow Black Series LED, providing approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. Below, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another dimension to the system. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like Pink Rosay. Her compact structure means that the lower portions of the plant are physically much closer to the upper canopy than they would be on a tall, stretched plant. At the same time, her density can create additional shading. The under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas another source of photons while the defoliation helps improve the movement of light through the plant from above. It's another experiment within the larger experiment. And, as always... Harvest will be the judge. 💧 Hand Watering – One Plant At A Time Pink Rosay continues receiving individual attention through hand watering. There's something especially useful about hand watering at this stage. Every time I approach the plant, I have an opportunity to look. To inspect the flowers. To check the leaves. To feel how the plant is progressing. To notice changes that might otherwise disappear into the background of an automated system. Current feeding remains: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current readings: pH — approximately 6.0 EC — approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature — 21°C Root-zone temperature — 21°C Watering — approximately 1.4 L per 24 hours No unnecessary changes. The plant is responding well. So we keep giving her consistency. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing the stability this garden has been built around. Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Root-zone temperature: 21°C Solution temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 529 ppm The room continues relying on natural CO₂ replenishment through ventilation rather than bottled supplementation. The important thing isn't chasing one individual number. It's the interaction between temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, root-zone conditions and light. When those pieces work together, the plant gets to concentrate on what she does best. Growing. 👀 Looking Ahead – Is Something Special Building Here? I'm becoming increasingly curious about Pink Rosay's final outcome. Not because I want to predict a number. Not because I want to call the harvest before she's finished. But because the structure is promising. She's compact. She's healthy. She's carrying a remarkable number of flowering sites for her size. She's producing resin. She's stacking flowers. And now we've opened the canopy slightly to give her more room to breathe and allow light to travel more effectively through her architecture. If she continues at this pace, I have a feeling she could surprise us at harvest. Sometimes the plants that look modest from a distance are the ones that make you raise your eyebrows when the final numbers come in. And Pink Rosay has exactly that feeling. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Pink Rosay Pheno A continues telling one of my favourite stories in this entire 8×8 Adventure. She reminds me that you don't need to be the tallest plant in the room to make an impression. You don't need to stretch toward the ceiling. You don't need to occupy the most space. Sometimes you can simply take your little corner... And make it extraordinary. This week, we gave her a little more room. A little more airflow. A little more opportunity for photons to move through her canopy. And now we're stepping back again. Because after making a cultivation decision, the most important thing is knowing when to stop touching the plant and let her respond. That's where the real lesson begins. Pink Rosay is compact. She is dense. She is elegant. She is increasingly frosty. And there is an enormous amount of flower packed into that small frame. I have a feeling this little lady may have something very interesting waiting for us at harvest. But for now... We're going to let her keep building. Keep stacking. Keep swelling. Keep shining. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a different story. Pink Rosay's story is becoming one of elegance, density and quiet strength. And I absolutely love where she's going. Until next week... Small frame. Big personality. Let her shine. 🌸✨ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Amnesia already forming dense buds, Cheese's internodes are too long so the buds are taking it's time to grow, and just like last week, Northern Light still hasn't started to flower, but, it's starting to show the first pistils

Day 78. Girls are missing food a lot, but i always love to underfeed them, taste ten times better at the end. My QB just burned Mag out of leaves, those branches exposed to most intense light - suffer most. But its not my first rodeo with them, so i am totally calm. Funny, i got some Clover seeds pop out ... when i brought last predators, they were kept between seeds and now i have mini Nitrogen boost ;))) i know that its only couple plants in each pot, i know that soon i won't need N at all, but still funny aftermath. Everything else on cruise control since my air system update i have to water every 30 l pot with 4-5 liters every two days, usually it was four ... They bulk up and looks like it will be high quality bud, let's see ... ! Happy Growing !

Hello guys, Here I am again to present you a new run, still with the best leds of the market nevertheless as I changed my growing space from 120x120 to 150x150. So I had to update the material inside... I will run with 3 EVO 5-150 lamps of 320W or 960W with Bluetooth dimmers. For the Hydro system, it will be the V-SYSTEM from Alienhydroponics. In fertilizers I am always with Advanced Nutrients. I work with osmosis water. Currently, 4 clones took on 4. Once the roots are ready, I will transfer the cuttings from the propagator to the V-SYSTEM. ------------------------ since the 16/08, when I transplanted the plants in the RDWC system, I noticed some points that I will mention below and correct next time. 1. The cuttings are too small, allow enough time so that I can completely fill my pots with clay balls. 2. Cut out the bottom of the pots from the cuttings. 3. 3/4 of the cuttings are touching the water, so one is late. Next time when transplanting, add more water, up to the basket in order to immerse all the plants and not to create a difference between each one, consequence now I have 3 that are ready to explode and one that will struggle behind, problem corrected today by increasing the volume of water. 4. The b-52 is a real pain in the ass in RDWC, you have to clean the 2 filters almost every day, with this new soup I'm testing without and I think I'll continue like this just with the base sensi grow A and B, as I use Root rot X, I won't use voodoo juice since all the bacteria would be killed. 5. Use of Voodoo Juice is useless if using Root Rot X which will kill the bacteria. I don't know why but when I transplanted in the RDWC, I put my set up in growth mode, except that the plants were not ready for it, moreover, I made a FIM on each. So I lost some days, these last days I went back to a ppdf of 150, now that my roots touch the water, I declare growth 0 on 22/08, I will do between 21 and 28 days of growth. And as my roots are doing well and touching the water I'll go to a PPFD of 300 ++

This week has been sunny, hot and wet. I have not done a thing except to keep an eye on Miss Gorilla Cookies. It has been a hot and rainy week and I did not feed this plant this week. That is why I did not record Ph levels and PPM, etc this week. I have really wanted to give this diary an honest, straight up review of Gorilla Cookies growing in whatever Mother Nature threw her way. She is tall and thin but has a lot of bud growth. I am eager to see how big her buds will get. One thing that I have not been super pleased with is using Miracle Grow as a nutrient. This outside grow was an experiment using Miracle and not my typical Fox Farm nutrients. At this point in my grow, Miracle Grow needs to remain for garden vegetables and flowers NOT cannibas. As a result, I have made an Executive Decision and will going add some @Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the remainder this grow. @Hindugod and I have been growing our Gorilla Cookie plants simultaneously and his plants look thicker than mine do. His weather has not been as hard on his plants as I have had here in Virginia. He is also using different nutrients. It is fun watching these 2 Gorilla cookies grow differently and the same:) Stay tuned to next week and comments are always welcome. Thanks for visiting--susquihanna

4/26: I top-dressed their pots with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water each. I added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica. I started them on open sesame, too. Increased Ph to 6.40 to ensure that they can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving them now. 4/27: I did a little bit more training on the big one, but I like the way the small one is growing. I may end up spreading her branches a little bit, but she's fine for now. 4/29: They are both stretching pretty well, but the bigger one looks like she's gonna spread out and try to take over the closet. 5/1: I gave them a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed them with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitches, grow! 5/3: I did a slow-soak feeding today. Backed off the nitrogen a little more, increased silica, and started adding sweet & sticky and signal.

I'm happy with what i'm seeing :) The cookies are stacking up like crazy, gonna have some serious cola's. The stretchy Cookie is back on track since i started making her own feed @ 70% strength of the others, she seems to like it. Aficionado French Connection Rossa Corsa Beautyfull plant all around, tight noding and big *ss leaves Def a indica dominant pheno. I'll be keeping a close eye on her deu to lot of reviews talking about Herm issue's. Gorilla breath. She took of like crazy from Day 1, she sprouted a week later than the rest and now she is the biggest among the bunch. She's a verry easy to grow strain, even though she,'s not as stacked as the Cookies. I'm expecting a decent return from her, curious to the outcome of her Wel that's it Growmies Rock on💚
