Going into week 5. DIY Scrogg net made a huge difference. The girls have grown into gorgeous ladies. Very bushy. Had to perform roughly 30% defoliation today due to fan leaves covering all the important branches. Trying to get an even canopy is much harder than expected however daily changes make a big difference. Added 5ml Calmag solution to current feed & the results are looking amazing. Life is looking pretty good at this stage!! Unfortunately, the camera pictures don't agree.

Good evening to all growers !! It starts to make a certain smell that is now clearly perceived even outside the growroom... So from next week we will attach the filter you have activated carbon ;D

30/10/22 - Week 2 Begins 31/10/22 - Increased light height by 2 Inches to increase light output upto 75% - slight yellowing on the leaves will monitor this week - will pot up into final pots by end of the week 03/11/22 - Transplanted 2 of the 4 final seedlings into their final pots. - Lower left plant had far smaller roots compared to the top right so may well pick other seedlings 05/11/22 - All plants transplanted - lower left plant removed, weak roots and no longer growing at same speed as others, sent to the gulag. - 3 x 3 inch plants and 1 x 4 inch - went from 250ml feed each to 750ml each plant - humidity 65% heat 21C

Replanted kids from the cups into organic coco mix. 6g of BioGrow per 1 litre of coco mix, plus I added some mycorrhiza. After replanting watered with Enhancer and Sugar Royal. Пересадил малышек из стаканов в органический кокосовый замес. 6гр BioGrow на литр кокосового субстрата, добавил микоризы. После пересадки пролил Enhancer и Sugar Royal.

Vengo luchando con una plaga, 😫

Buds are starting to mature.

Additional 8cm this week I think my setup can handle 8 more, anyway I am happy with the grow. Have a nice day.

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same except BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 they are being flushed. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 have to be harvested this week Friday so no more water. Colorado Cookies and Northern Light next week so started flushing them. Glueberry OG needs a bit more time.

Well, those in the catalog died or did not germinate well, apart from that, the 6 seeds without breed that we have saved from good buds that came into my hands germinated well. here I share a little of what could be recorded, as you can see there is a bigger one that was the attempt to germinate the cars with an approximate age advantage of 25 days, with that criterion I will comment on this one in particular and the others in your set. The largest in age also has the largest pot of all of 11 liters approx 3 gallons The 2nd largest is for having the 2nd largest pot of 7 or 8 liters approx 2 gallons The remaining 5 are in pots of 3.5 liters or 1 gallon We also started fighting with the high temperatures due to the weather, which will go down as the months go by in our favor, we turn on lights at night and turn off the lights during the day to compensate, which we will manage just as well as the plants adapt, as will be seen until 3 o'clock 4 week of flowering, which is the one we are currently going through when this diary is being updated

Edit: I just wanted to share a couple photos and a video that I took with my new WiFi microscope. Best $20 I’ve spent in a while. Ladies and gentlemen it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Live from the Alaska arena IT’S TIIIIIIME! After 15 weeks in the 4x5 custom tent these ladies standing at 38 inches weighing in at a weight to be determined later are going to get chopped down by rear naked shearing this Sunday Sunday Sunday! We’ll sell you the whole seat but you’ll only need the edge!!!! On the real. These ladies have done their job. They’ve bulked up and gotten rock hard with mad trichomes on the sea of upper bud sites. I had a scare with a plant in a nearby tent that was rescued that was a hermie. ONE site right in front of the intake vent got it and was cut immediately. The rest of them were not affected. This strain is nearly impervious to everything from ph to whatever amount of nutrients you want to feed them in a hydroponic environment. I hit them with a massive 2100 ppm of flora series with fox farms beastie bloomz 0-50-30 in the end and never got the fade or burn. The nutrients have been cut out and it straight water for the duration. Friday starts 48 hours of darkness.

Flushing continues...

I planted germinated and planted 4 Sucker Punch Autos on July 12th. They had all sprouted by July 13th and are just finishing their first week above ground! This is my first time growing auto flowers so I am excited to see how it goes :) They are being vegged under a 1000w MH which is dimmable and set at 600w for the time being to help with temperatures.

Saludos 🙌 completando la séptima semana y comienzo de floración 🙏 Cambié el fotoperiodo el día 2/04 y la planta dió una buena crecida desde entonces. Comenzó a oler un poco más también pero todavía sin señales de pistillos, ansioso para verlos. Buenos humos 🍃

No issue looking good

🌸 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! 🌱💚

Temp & Humidity still controlled by my Mycodo System. VPD range still set to 0.4 - 0.8 for now. 08.04. Week 2 of Veg begins and the plants really start to grow like crazy. Especially the Strawberry Lemonade and Fullgas seem to be bigger every day! I had a little PH issue on the last watering, but it should not be too worrysome. 10.04. I‘ve noticed some yellow tint starting to form on the newer leaves of the Strawberry Lemonade. For now I will stay on the lookout, but I hope it‘s nothing too dramatic. I also switched the VPD to be around 0.8 - 1.2 which it doesn‘t completely hit for the moment as i do not have a dehumidification option but the additional humidification was stopped. 13.04. Week 2 is nearing it‘s end and things are going great. The discoloration has vanished and the plants are growing steadily. VPD at around 0.7 kPa.

everything turned out very well :) and it's only with 50w and with 40x40cm space :) It was an interesting journey with her, a slightly different cultivation and old mistakes were discovered :) the flowers are not dense, but they are really very, very sticky :) I'm happy:)

bit of light stress in the last weeks photos, everything has cleared up still watering with silica when pot is dry. might just do a plain watering we have started flowering at day 18 on one of the crinkles , the rest of the room has now followed

Week 3 from seed, 1st week of Veg. Transplant to a 5-gallon fabric pot, they will grow in living soil and set up auto drip irrigation by using Netafim Netbow.
