I’m growing it alongside other strains! CHEMICAL BRIDE: CHEMDOG X WEDDING CAKE!!!!!!! ‘GREEN HOUSE BIO ENHANCER’ has the perfect kelp meal to humic acid ratio!! 💯👌 it’s important that these two are combined together so that the micro nutrients in kelp are more easily uprooted 🌱🌿🌲

WEEK 15 - (06/06/2021 - 06/12/2021) Week 7, Day 46 - FLOWER: 06/09/2021 Tap water: 227ppm, 8.3 pH, 69.3℉ + HydroGuard: 7ml/7 gallons + pH Down: 15ml Mixture: 233ppm, 6.0 pH, 69.1℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 1020/787, 5.4 pH AP#1 - 637/404, 5.8 pH AP#2 - 477/244, 6.0 pH GC#1 - 873/640, 5.5 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this week didn't really have much going on. There was only 1 watering. What an odd week. I managed to get a couple of up-close recordings of 2 strains. The Jelly Bananen has started to yellow. It seems to be all over, and I haven't exactly started flushing yet. Or maybe she has begun flushing. She is supposed to finish up right around 63 days and the last nutrient feeding was only 590ppm, so it is most definitely a possibility. The next time I water will be with recycled water with extremely low ppm (under 100), and I'm expecting to do a 14-day flush. I'm slightly concerned that the Jelly Bananen may have to be harvested early if the yellowing spreads to the sugar leaves. Guess I'll be finding out in the next week or so. Anyway, if you've read this far I want to give a shout out to you! Yes, you reading this! You're the best, and I want to personally thank you for checking out my journal. See you all next week! 😁🙏 “If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.” – Alan Watts

The culmination of reversing our Matterhorn cut off Mr. Crowley to Intergalactic Runtz, and the results were out of this world (I had to do it). These ladies were slow to start, but once they hit their stride, they put any worries we had to rest. Compact, short-framed, and robust. They pack beautifully boulder-like flowers that reek of garlic and sickly sweet cotton candy. Dark green to a mosaic of purples, yellows, and silvers. Frost production is off the charts, the internode spacing is tight, and they certainly will impress in their last few weeks of flower. This is one of our favorite crosses in the new fem lineup.

Days 49–55 | June 23–29 The tent’s getting noticeably more fragrant - those complex notes of citrus, pine, and cardamom are now joined by a sharper diesel layer when the buds are disturbed. Buds are visibly denser this week, especially on the main colas. Stacking is steady, and trichomes are beginning to cloud ever so slightly, though most remain clear. No amber yet. Lower leaf yellowing has continued - older fans fading out slowly - but now I’m starting to see yellowing creep up into the mid and upper canopy. Nothing aggressive, but it’s definitely progressed since last week. Fan leaves are still perky, and sugar leaves remain healthy, so I don’t suspect toxicity or major imbalance - just a steady drain of mobile nutrients as the plant puts all energy into flowers. Fed with full nutrients mid-week (2L: 3 mL Micro / 1.5 mL Grow / 3.75 mL Bloom, pH 6.4), and removed a couple of fully yellowed fans from underneath. Soil has stayed evenly moist with good bag weight - I've been careful not to overdo watering volume to avoid damp pockets. RH is steady around 50–55%, with temps hovering ~25°C. VPD is within range. No signs of foxtailing, stress, or pest pressure. Canopy is even under the trellis, light at ~36 cm above tops. Still tracking macros regularly - trichomes developing well. Flush date is locked in for Week 11, based on travel plans - not trichome maturity. For now, the feed rhythm continues, and I’ll ride the line as long as I can to bulk up the flowers before transition. Final swell ahead. Holding the line.

Aug 15: Purple Ghost Candy seems very happy these days. She is the tallest of the four plants and has the most sativa like structure. Good shape from the manifold and the scrog nets and flowering is going fast. The Plagron nutrients seem to be working nicely. Here at 53 N latitude the strength of light, particularly UV light, drops quickly after mid-August. The AC Infinity UV lights come out on days when there is no chance of rain. The setup and teardown of the lights is quick and easy so it’s not much hassle to do this.

Have been demolishing this lady due to its explosive growth. Feeding schedule no changes fan has been going for 24 hrs also on these ladies.

May 31 Day 15: Tropicana Cookies FF was the last one started of my domestic four plants but she is a fast grower and will catch up quickly. She might be up to five nodes and ready for the first topping later this week. This was supposed to be the Sativa Wagon, but without Durban Poison it’s really more another Hybrid Wagon. June 1 Day 16: compost tea video but i seem to have lost the audio in the upload somehow. Compost, molasses, coco coir for the bacteria to grow on and a serving of Monster Maxx. Leave overnight for bacteria to grow but not so long that the dissolved oxygen is used up. You want the aerobic bacteria that need oxygen to live. Some of the brew was diluted 1:1 and used as a foliar spray. The air is very dry here during the day and misting the plant leaves is equivalent to a higher humidity that you could control indoors. June 6: Tropicana Cookies is doing great. She staryed late but she’s catching up to the other plants.

This was 5/5

My Northern Lights number 10 plant is the biggest in the tent so far, and it's stacking like crazy. I love the short leaves – they're perfect for fitting a bunch of branches into a small space, even though they're really big. It's been a challenging week with the constant rain and ridiculously high humidity. Keeping things dry indoors has been a real struggle. Despite the weather, I managed to flip all my feminized photoperiod plants to flower this week. I'm hoping the switch will go smoothly, but with this humidity, it's going to be tough.

? 8×8 Adventure – Week 10 Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A A Quiet Girl Starting to Show Her Character 💚🌸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 If you've been following this grow, you already know that Blueberry Muffin has never really been the girl trying to steal the spotlight. She's compact. She's controlled. She's not particularly tall. And compared with some of the more aggressive plants in the room, she has always had a slightly slower, quieter rhythm. But that's exactly what makes watching her so interesting. Because while some plants seem to scream: "LOOK AT ME!" Blueberry Muffin has always been more like: "Don't worry. I'm getting there." 😂? And this week... She's still getting there. Beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Keeping Things Steady We're not making any dramatic changes this week. Actually, quite the opposite. At this stage, consistency is becoming one of the most important tools we have. We're keeping the environment as close as possible to where it was last week, maintaining the same general lighting, irrigation and feeding strategy while allowing the plant to continue developing at her own pace. Of course... It's summer. ☀️ And summer has other plans. Keeping temperatures absolutely identical day after day isn't realistic. We see a degree up. A degree down. A small fluctuation here. Another one there. And that's perfectly normal. What matters is that we're keeping those variations controlled rather than allowing the environment to swing wildly. The things we can keep stable... We're keeping stable. The nutrient solution. The watering. The root-zone conditions. The light schedule. The general humidity. The lighting intensity. And most importantly... The routine. ──────────────────────── ? Blueberry Muffin – Still the Compact One Blueberry Muffin is currently around 75 cm, and that hasn't changed dramatically. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Not every plant needs to become a giant. Not every phenotype needs to stretch aggressively. This girl has been telling us from the beginning that she prefers a more compact architecture. She's building flowers. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply doing it in her own time. And looking at the photographs this week, that's becoming increasingly obvious. The plant may be compact... But she is certainly not lacking in flowers. The developing buds are becoming more pronounced throughout the canopy, with plenty of pistils and increasingly defined floral structures. She's quietly stacking. And that's what I want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Stagnant This is something I think is worth mentioning. When we say Blueberry Muffin is slower than some of her neighbours, that doesn't mean she's sitting still. Far from it. She's changing every week. The flowers are developing. The branches are carrying more weight. The plant is gradually shifting from producing new vegetative structure toward putting more emphasis on the flowers already established. It's just happening without the explosive vertical growth we've seen from some of the other plants. And honestly... That can be a beautiful trait. A compact plant can sometimes make canopy management much easier. There's less vertical drama. Less fighting for height. Less chasing branches. And more time to simply watch the flowers develop. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Lights – Where the Photons Go One of the things I'm particularly enjoying at this stage is watching how the lighting strategy interacts with this plant. We're not simply throwing light at the top of the canopy and hoping for the best. The Future of Grow LEDs are providing the main lighting foundation above the plants, delivering the primary photon supply that drives photosynthesis across the canopy. And then we have Lumiflora contributing additional light into areas that would otherwise naturally receive less illumination. That's an important distinction. Plants don't experience light as: "Top light." They experience photons arriving from different directions and at different intensities. Our job is to make as many of those useful photons available to productive foliage and developing flowers as practical. And Blueberry Muffin's compact structure makes this particularly interesting. Because she's not extremely tall, we're able to maintain a relatively controlled relationship between the light and the canopy. The upper flowers receive strong illumination. The inner structure receives additional support. And the lower portions aren't simply forgotten. We're trying to create a more complete light environment rather than relying entirely on what happens at the very top. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons Are the Currency I've said this many times throughout the 8×8 Adventure, but flowering is really where the relationship between light and plant structure becomes fascinating. Every photon that reaches a photosynthetic surface has the potential to contribute to the plant's energy production. But that doesn't mean: More light = automatically better. The plant still has to process that light. Temperature matters. Humidity matters. CO₂ matters. Leaf health matters. Root health matters. Water availability matters. Nutrition matters. Everything is connected. And that's why I like having the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting working as part of the overall system rather than simply increasing intensity without thinking about the rest of the environment. We're trying to give the plant useful light while maintaining the conditions necessary for her to actually make use of it. And Blueberry Muffin seems very happy with the arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Flowers, Flowers Everywhere The most rewarding part of this week's photographs is, without question, the flowers. They're becoming more obvious. More structured. More numerous. And increasingly confident. The pistils are still bright and prominent, but the buds themselves are starting to develop that unmistakable flowering architecture. This is the stage where the plant begins to transition visually from: "I have flowering sites." to: "I am building flowers." And Blueberry Muffin is doing exactly that. She's not rushing. She's not exploding upward. She's simply stacking one little piece onto another. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually we'll look back and wonder where all that floral mass came from. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stability Where We Can Control It One thing we're being particularly careful about this week is keeping irrigation and the root environment consistent. The current setup remains around: 💧 1.3 L per plant / 24 hours with the nutrient solution sitting around: 🌡️ 25°C and the substrate/root-zone temperature also around: 🌡️ 25°C These are the variables we can control much more directly than the outside summer temperature. So that's where the focus goes. If the room temperature moves a little because summer decides to remind us who's boss... Fine. We'll work with it. But there's no reason for the root zone, irrigation routine and nutrient delivery to become unstable at the same time. The more variables we can keep consistent, the easier it becomes to understand what the plants are actually telling us. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Don't Fix What Isn't Broken The feeding strategy also remains steady. We're not changing things simply because another week has passed. The plant is healthy. The foliage is beautifully green. The flowers are developing. There are no obvious signs telling me that she needs a dramatic intervention. So we're continuing with the established flowering nutrition: • Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required The goal isn't to chase numbers. The goal is to support the plant's current development and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. Sometimes the smartest adjustment... is making no adjustment at all. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Summer Challenge Our environmental target remains as close as possible to last week's conditions. We're currently around: • 🌡️ Day temperature: ~29.9°C • 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C • 💧 RH: ~60% • 🥥 Substrate temperature: ~25°C • 💦 Solution temperature: ~25°C • ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 • ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h • ? Pot: 15 L • 📏 Height: ~75 cm Summer makes absolute precision difficult. One day gives us a little more heat. Another day gives us slightly less. The important thing is avoiding unnecessary swings and keeping the things we can control as consistent as possible. And so far... Blueberry Muffin is handling it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ A Compact Plant Has Its Advantages There's another reason I'm enjoying watching this phenotype. Her compact structure means she isn't creating the same vertical management challenges as some of the more vigorous plants in the room. She's occupying her space efficiently. The flowers are distributed across the plant. The canopy remains manageable. And because we're not dealing with an enormous stretch, it's easier to keep the lighting relationship consistent. This is one of those situations where different doesn't necessarily mean better or worse. It's simply... different. And that's exactly what the 8×8 Adventure is supposed to reveal. Twelve genetics. Twelve personalities. Twelve different ways of responding to essentially the same growing environment. Blueberry Muffin's personality continues to be: Compact. Calm. Slow and steady. But increasingly floral. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── ✨ Future of Grow + Lumiflora – Lighting the Way I also want to give another little spotlight to the lighting team this week. The Future of Grow LEDs continue doing their job above the canopy, providing the main source of light for this flowering room. And Lumiflora continues contributing additional photons where the canopy naturally becomes less exposed. I really enjoy seeing the difference this kind of layered lighting strategy can make. Instead of thinking about the plant as a flat surface... We're thinking in three dimensions. Top. Middle. Inside. Lower canopy. Every part has a different relationship with light. And while we can't make every flower receive identical intensity, we can certainly improve how photons are distributed throughout the plant. That's the goal. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better use of the light we have." And when I look at Blueberry Muffin's developing flowers... I think she's making very good use of it. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Observation Is Still the Most Important Tool At this stage, I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. We've built the plant. We've trained her. We've shaped the canopy. We've managed the foliage. We've established the lighting. We've established irrigation. We've established nutrition. Now we're watching. And that's sometimes the hardest part. Doing nothing can feel like you're not doing enough. But plants don't need us to touch them every day. Sometimes they just need: Good light. Water. Nutrition. Roots that can breathe. A stable environment. And time. Blueberry Muffin seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should become increasingly interesting. The plant remains compact, but the flowers are continuing to develop. The canopy is holding together beautifully. The lighting system is providing a strong and layered photon environment. The irrigation remains consistent. The nutrient programme remains stable. And we're simply going to continue watching. Summer may give us a degree here and there. That's okay. We'll do our best to keep everything else steady. Because the objective isn't to create a laboratory where nothing ever changes. The objective is to create an environment where the changes are small enough that we can understand them. And Blueberry Muffin? She's giving us a very clear message. She's not in a hurry. She's building. Slowly. Compactly. Beautifully. ?🌸 ──────────────────────── 💚 Final Thoughts – Let Her Be Herself I think that's probably the biggest lesson Blueberry Muffin is teaching me right now. Not every plant needs to be pushed. Not every phenotype needs to behave the same way. And not every slow-growing plant is a problem waiting to be solved. Sometimes... slow is simply slow. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's compact. And she's doing it all while the rest of the room is sometimes trying to run away from us. 😂 So we're going to respect her personality. We're going to keep the environment as stable as summer allows. We're going to keep the irrigation and root zone consistent. We're going to keep the nutrition steady. And we're going to continue giving her access to plenty of quality photons from the Future of Grow and Lumiflora lighting systems. Then we'll step back... and watch. Because eventually, that quiet little Blueberry Muffin is going to have her moment. And I think she's going to deserve every bit of the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blueberry Muffin genetics and document this beautiful phenotype throughout the journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants through this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the main LED lighting powering this room and giving these plants the photons they need to keep building. And a special thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional light deeper into the canopy and helping us think about lighting in three dimensions rather than simply from above. Thank you as well to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week brings another little observation. Another comparison. Another lesson. And another reason to keep documenting. Blueberry Muffin may be one of the quieter girls in the room... But she's still writing her own story. And this week? She's doing it beautifully. Slow. Compact. Green. And increasingly covered in flowers. ?🌸💚 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚

👑🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 14 💗❄️ Our Queen Has Come Down – Dense, Frosty & Absolutely Beautiful! 👑💎🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well, my friends… Our Queen has officially come down. 👑✂️💗 And honestly? Look at this girl! 😂💗 We've spent weeks following Pink Rosay, watching her develop, admiring her structure, enjoying her aroma, and taking what feels like a million photographs of her. And I think I've made my feelings about this plant pretty clear by now. I LOVE THIS GIRL. 😂👑🌸 She's beautiful. She's compact. She's incredibly dense. She's frosty. She's got personality. And every time I take her into the studio, I find another reason to appreciate her. But now, the growing chapter is over. Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A has been harvested, and we've moved into the next stage of her journey. This time, instead of breaking her down immediately, I decided to keep the entire plant together. She's not an enormous plant, so fitting her whole into the drying tent was straightforward. We have her hanging upside down, drying in the same place and under the same general conditions as the other harvested girls. 🌿⬇️🌬️ And before anyone asks… No, this isn't the final report! 😂 We'll return with her trimming, the final dry weight, the smoke review, the flavours, the effects, and everything else we can honestly share once those stages are complete. For now, let's celebrate our Queen and document her final day as a living plant in the 8×8 Adventure. Because this girl deserves her own spotlight. And what a beautiful way to begin her harvest chapter! ──────────────────────── 📢 FIRST THINGS FIRST – WHY IS HARVEST DAY IN A FLOWERING WEEK? Before we get carried away admiring our Queen, let's address something that some of you might notice. We're documenting harvest day under a flowering-week update. And yes… I know how that looks! 😂 But there's a reason. GrowDiaries has restrictions on the number of photographs we can include in each update. When we're documenting individual plants, especially at harvest, we can quickly run out of space. We have the final photographs inside the tent. We have the studio session. We have portraits of the plant, close-ups of individual flowers, and plenty of details worth documenting. And that's before we even begin the trimming, drying, weighing, and smoke-review chapters! Trying to squeeze everything into one update would mean leaving out photographs and details that deserve to be included. So, just as we've done with the other girls, we're using this flowering-week report to document the final day in the tent and the harvest itself. The next report will move into the harvest stage, where we'll cover the next part of Pink Rosay's journey. This is an individual diary, and I want every plant to have her own complete story. Some people may understand the reasoning immediately. Others may wonder why the update is categorised this way. That's why we're explaining it. We're working within the platform's limitations while trying to preserve as much of the journey as possible. Thank you for understanding, everyone! 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 👑 OUR QUEEN – THE FINAL DAY IN THE TENT Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A. Our Compact Princess. Our Queen. 💗👑🌸 From the beginning, this girl has had a special place in my heart. I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again. 😂 Not every plant needs to become the tallest girl in the room or compete for the biggest final number on the scales. Some plants simply have that something. The structure. The flowers. The personality. The way they catch your eye every time you walk into the room. And Pink Rosay has been doing exactly that. She's compact, but don't mistake that for a lack of substance. Her flowers are beautifully dense, with a frosty appearance that makes her stand out when you look closely. She's got the kind of structure that makes you want to stop what you're doing, take another look, and grab the camera. 📸💗 And that's precisely what we did. Before taking her down, we made sure to document her final appearance in the tent. Because once she's harvested, that particular moment is gone. The branches will move. The plant will change. The drying process will begin. So I wanted to keep a record of the Queen exactly as she was on her final day. One last look at the plant that has given us so much enjoyment throughout this journey. 👑🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 ONE LAST WALK TO THE STUDIO Of course, we couldn't harvest Pink Rosay without giving her a proper studio session! 😂📸💗 Did you really expect anything else? This girl and the camera have developed quite a relationship. Every time I take her into the studio, I end up wanting another angle, another close-up, another photograph, and another opportunity to appreciate her details. And harvest day was no exception. We took her out for a final photographic session and captured a collection of images that will become part of her diary. Portraits. Different angles. Close-ups. Flower details. And those beautiful frosty structures that have made her such a pleasure to photograph. The studio gives us a different perspective from the grow room. Inside the tent, we see the whole environment and how the plant fits into the canopy. In the studio, we can give the individual plant all the attention. No competing for the spotlight. No neighbouring branches getting in the way. Just Pink Rosay. 💗👑✨ And honestly? She deserves every second of it. ──────────────────────── 💎 DENSE, FROSTY & BEAUTIFUL Let's talk about the flowers. Because, my friends… WOW. 😂💎🌸 One of the things that really stands out about Pink Rosay is how dense and substantial her flowers look. She's compact, but the flowers have a presence of their own. And then there's the frost. ❄️💚 The resinous appearance adds another layer of beauty to the flower structure, and it's something I particularly enjoy capturing with the camera. From a distance, you see a beautiful plant. Move closer, and you start noticing the individual shapes and textures. Get closer still, and the flowers become little landscapes of their own. That's what makes macro photography and photo stacking so enjoyable for me. There's always another detail to discover. Another angle to explore. Another photograph that shows something a little differently. And Pink Rosay has given us plenty of reasons to keep looking. She's not simply beautiful from one particular angle. She's a beautiful subject to explore. 📸❄️💗 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE COMPACT PRINCESS HAS EARNED HER CROWN I've called her my Compact Princess throughout this journey. And now, I think she's officially been promoted. 😂👑 Ladies and gentlemen… Our Queen! 💗👑🌿 She's not trying to be the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to compete with the taller girls. She's simply being herself. Compact. Dense. Frosty. Beautiful. And full of personality. I think that's something worth appreciating. We can easily become obsessed with plant height, branch count, and final dry weight. Those measurements have their place, of course. But they don't tell the whole story. A plant can be memorable because of her structure. Because of her aroma. Because of the way she develops. Because of the pleasure she brings to the growing experience. Or simply because every time you look at her, you think: "Damn, girl… you're beautiful." 😂💗 That's been my experience with Pink Rosay. And today, as we take her down, I'm not just thinking about the harvest. I'm also thinking about how much I've enjoyed growing and documenting her. That's part of the reward, too. ──────────────────────── 📸 A FINAL PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY One of the things I appreciate most about keeping individual diaries is being able to look back. Week after week, we have photographs documenting the journey. We can see how the plant started. We can follow her development. We can compare earlier structures with what we see at harvest. And we can preserve those little details that might otherwise be forgotten once the plant has been taken down. That's why I take so many photographs. 😂📸 Sometimes I probably take more than I need. But I'd rather have the photographs and be able to choose from them later than wish I'd taken another shot. And Pink Rosay has been a perfect example of why I enjoy this approach. She's been a pleasure to photograph throughout her journey, and this final studio session gives us one more opportunity to celebrate her. The next time we see her in the diary, the focus will be different. We'll be looking at the post-harvest process. But these photographs preserve the Queen as she looked at the end of her flowering journey. And I think that's worth doing properly. 💗🌸📸 ──────────────────────── ✂️ HARVEST DAY – THIS TIME, WE KEEP HER WHOLE Now, here's where Pink Rosay's story takes a slightly different direction. Rather than immediately breaking her down into individual branches, I decided to hang the entire plant upside down. 🌿⬇️ She's a compact girl, which made this a practical option for the space available in our drying tent. So after her final photographs, we harvested her and moved her into the drying area. The whole plant is now hanging upside down. One plant. One structure. One new chapter. 💚🌬️ We've used other approaches with different plants during this adventure, and that's part of what makes documenting individual diaries interesting. Not every plant has the same size, structure, or practical requirements. And sometimes, the approach we choose for one girl will be different from what we choose for another. For Pink Rosay, keeping her whole was the decision we made for this harvest. We'll now let the drying process progress and document the next stage when she's ready. I'm not going to pretend that we already know exactly how long she'll take. We'll follow the actual drying process rather than decide the finish date in advance. Because the calendar doesn't get the final word. The plant does. 😂🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING ROOM – SAME PLACE, SAME GENERAL CONDITIONS Pink Rosay is now hanging in the same drying area as the other harvested plants, under the same general environmental conditions. We're keeping the drying environment around the conditions we've been using for the other girls. 🌡️ Temperature: around 20°C 💧 Relative humidity: beginning around 45%, then increasing into the 60% range as part of our drying-room approach. 🌬️ Drying location: the same dedicated space used for the other harvested plants. These are the general conditions we're working with, not a guarantee of a particular drying duration. The time required can vary depending on the plant, the structure, the density of the flowers, and how the material responds as it dries. And Pink Rosay has some beautifully dense flowers, so we're going to let the process tell us when she's ready for the next stage. We won't rush her simply because another plant finished sooner. We won't assume that every plant needs exactly the same amount of time. We'll observe, assess, and document. 🌿💚 ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE TAKE TO DRY? That's the question, isn't it? 😂🌬️ And honestly… I don't have a precise answer yet. Our drying periods with previous plants have generally fallen somewhere between one and two weeks, depending on the plant and the conditions. But that isn't a deadline, and I'm not going to assign Pink Rosay a finish date before we've seen how she progresses. She's hanging as a whole plant, and her flowers are dense. So we'll monitor her rather than make promises about the calendar. When she's ready for the next stage, we'll document that. When it's time for trimming, we'll bring out the scissors. When it's time to weigh her, we'll record the result. And when it's time for the smoke review, we'll share our experience. One stage at a time. That's how we keep the report honest. No invented drying duration. No premature final weight. No smoke review before we've reached that point. 😂💚 The Queen has started drying. Now we give her the time she needs, and we'll meet her again in the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 👑 SAME QUEEN, DIFFERENT CHAPTER There's something I love about this transition. Until now, we've mostly been documenting Pink Rosay as a growing plant. We've talked about her development, her structure, her flowers, and the enjoyment she's brought to the grow room. Now the focus changes. The tent chapter is over. The drying chapter has begun. And after that, we'll move into trimming and the rest of the post-harvest journey. Each stage deserves its own attention. It's also why we're keeping this update separate from the next one. Today, we're celebrating harvest day. Next time, we'll document what happens after the drying stage and share the details that belong in that report. I want you to be able to follow the journey without having to guess what happened between one photograph and the next. That's the whole point of keeping these diaries. The story continues, even when the plant is no longer standing in the tent. 💗🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🌱 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE – ANOTHER GIRL COMPLETES HER JOURNEY One by one, our girls are reaching the end of their time in the grow room. And every harvest gives us another opportunity to look back at the differences between the plants we've grown together. Different sizes. Different structures. Different flowering patterns. Different personalities. And different harvest stories. Pink Rosay has been one of those plants that made me appreciate the experience beyond the final numbers. I've enjoyed growing her. I've enjoyed watching her develop. I've enjoyed photographing her. And now I'm enjoying documenting her transition into the next stage. The remaining plants continue their own journeys, while Pink Rosay begins hers in the drying tent. That's the 8×8 Adventure. Not every plant follows the same timeline. Not every plant gives us the same experience. And not every plant needs to tell the same story. Our Queen has finished her flowering chapter. Now we'll see what the next one brings. 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 😂 PRESENT DOGDOCTOR VS. FUTURE DOGDOCTOR Let's be honest… Present DogDoctor has done enough for today. 😂📸👑 We took the final tent photographs. We moved the Queen into the studio. We took a bunch of pictures. We admired the flowers. We harvested her. We hung her whole in the drying tent. And now… we wait. 😂🌬️ Future DogDoctor can deal with trimming. Future DogDoctor can deal with the final weight. Future DogDoctor can prepare the smoke review. And Future DogDoctor can tell you what the next stage looks and feels like once we get there. Present DogDoctor? He's happy. He's looking at the photographs. He's appreciating the Queen. And he's pleased that another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure has been documented. 😂💗 Priorities, my friends. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Here's what we'll be documenting in the upcoming report: 🌬️ The drying progress and the transition to the next stage. ✂️ The trimming session. ⚖️ The final dry weight, once we have it. 👃 The aroma and flavour impressions when we can assess them properly. 💨 The smoke review and our personal experience. 💗 And, of course, our final thoughts on Pink Rosay Auto Pheno A. We'll share the results when those stages are complete. For now, she's hanging whole, upside down, in the drying area. Her flowers are beautiful. Her growing journey has come to an end. And the next part of her story is already underway. 🌿👑💚 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – OUR QUEEN HAS EARNED HER CROWN Week 14. Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Harvest day. 💗👑🌸 And what a beautiful girl she has been. She's compact. She's dense. She's frosty. She's beautiful. And she's been an absolute pleasure to grow and photograph. Today, we said goodbye to her time in the tent. We took her final photographs. We gave her the studio session she deserved. And then we harvested her, keeping the entire plant together and hanging her upside down in the drying area. She's now drying alongside the other girls, in the same space and under the same general environmental conditions. But her story isn't finished. Not even close. 😂💗 We still have the trimming. We still have the final weight. We still have the smoke review. And we still have the opportunity to look back at the whole journey and share our conclusions. Those details belong in the next report, once we have them. For now, I simply want to celebrate the plant that brought us here. I've said it so many times that I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record. 😂 But I genuinely love this girl. Not just for what she might weigh. Not just for what the flowers look like. But for the whole experience of growing her. She made me want to take more photographs. She made me want to spend more time in the studio. She made me appreciate the little details. And she reminded me that growing is about more than chasing the biggest number on a scale. Sometimes, you grow a plant that simply makes you happy. And Pink Rosay has done exactly that. 💗👑✨ So let's give our Queen the spotlight one more time for this chapter. Let's celebrate her beautiful flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's remember the journey. And let's give her the time she needs as she moves through the drying stage. The scissors can wait. The scales can wait. The smoke review can wait. 😂✂️⚖️ For now, our Queen is resting. And when she's ready, we'll be back to tell the next part of her story. Thank you, Pink Rosay. It's been an honor. 💗👑🌸❄️ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world.

Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle… where the photons keep flying for the girls still growing, the harvested ladies begin their next chapters, and our Compact Princess reminds us that a plant doesn't have to be the biggest to earn a crown. 😂💗👑🌿 Pink Rosay… you've earned your crown. Keep shining, Queen. 💚

No res change right now, still working with a fresh res. Low PPM, pH is dropping, leaves are turning crisp. Added some H202 today. They slowed water uptake, nutrient uptake, have had some heat spikes with weather and 3rd light, turned down 3rd light to about 80% power.

Laid out the Srog nets with intention to change the light setting next week. Added pre-flower nutes as well as a 1" top dress - with some added nutrient mix. Thoroughly watered and ready to start training.

Beautiful plant. I'm switching the light cycle now 12/12

This week was the last one for the Cashew Kush and the Blackberry Cake! I watered them with clear water 2 times before the harvest. I will harvest the Jack Herer in one week.

I didn't happen to weigh this one went as I don't do a whole plant dry. I got real impatient, and it was looking decently cloudy with a little bit of amber as well. Still smells like starburst.
