🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 💗👑 The Compact Princess Has Officially Stolen My Heart 🍇🌸✨ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I'm going to say it again. 😂 I know. I've said it before. I've probably said it too many times. And I'm probably going to say it again. But every time I take this girl out for a little walk into the studio... I'm reminded why. Pink Rosay is simply a pleasure. A genuine pleasure. 💗👑🌸 I love photographing her. I love looking at her. I love smelling her. I love watching her structure. I love watching her flowers develop. I love the way she carries herself. And honestly... I wish more plants were like her. 😂💗 Not because she's necessarily going to be the biggest producer in the room. I actually don't think she will be. And that's perfectly fine. Because there is so much more to a plant than the final number on a scale. There is the structure. The beauty. The personality. The aroma. The way she grows. The way she photographs. The way she makes you stop and look. The way she makes you want to take her into the studio again... just because you enjoy being around her. And Pink Rosay does all of that. Beautifully. 🍇💗👑 So this week... I don't even feel like I need to invent some dramatic story. She's still amazing. She's still doing her thing. She's still developing. And I'm still absolutely enjoying the privilege of watching her do it. Let's give our Compact Princess the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 WEEK 13 – THE COMPACT PRINCESS There are plants you grow. There are plants you document. And then there are plants that become an experience. Pink Rosay is becoming that kind of plant for me. 😂💗 Every time I bring her into the studio, it feels like I'm taking a little piece of the grow room with me. And honestly? It's a pleasure. A delight. A privilege. She's simply beautiful. Not necessarily huge. Not necessarily the plant that's going to dominate the final yield chart. But beautiful. And sometimes... that's enough. Actually... sometimes that's more than enough. 🌸💗 Because when you have a plant that makes you genuinely enjoy the process of growing... that's something special. ──────────────────────── 🍇 THE AROMA IS STILL PART OF HER PERSONALITY And then there is the smell. 😂🍇 Of course there is. Because Pink Rosay doesn't seem to understand the concept of being subtle. She's compact. She's elegant. She's sitting there looking all pretty... and then the aroma arrives. 😂 That fruity sweetness. That grape-like character. That almost mature-vineyard impression I've been trying to describe. It's become part of her identity. And I love that. You can look at her... you can photograph her... you can admire her flowers... but then you get closer and suddenly: "Hello, Pink Rosay." 😂🍇💗 She reminds you that she's there. And I honestly wouldn't want it any other way. ──────────────────────── 💗 SHE MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE HER FOR A WALK I know this sounds ridiculous... but I genuinely enjoy taking this girl into the studio. 😂📸💗 It's one of those little moments in a grow that you don't really plan for. You simply pick up the plant... look at her... and think: "Come on, girl. Let's go take some photographs." 😂 And then you get her under the studio lights... you start looking through the camera... and suddenly you realize: there's another flower. Another angle. Another detail. Another beautiful little structure. Another shot you want to take. And before you know it... you've taken way too many photographs. 😂📸 But I don't care. She's worth it. ──────────────────────── 📸 A PHOTOGRAPHER'S DELIGHT Some plants are difficult to photograph. Some plants make you work for the shot. Some have structures where you have to move around constantly just to understand what's happening. Pink Rosay? She makes my life easy. 😂💗📸 Her structure has personality. Her flowers have character. Her proportions are beautiful. And the closer you look... the more detail appears. The flowers. The frost. The pistils. The texture. The little differences between the individual flowering sites. And then you step back... and suddenly the entire plant makes sense again. Compact. Balanced. Beautiful. Substantial. She's one of those plants where the camera doesn't have to exaggerate anything. It simply has to document what's already there. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTY DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN BIGGEST This is probably the biggest thought I have for this week. I honestly don't think Pink Rosay is going to be the biggest producer in the room. And you know what? I'm absolutely okay with that. 😂💗 Because if we're judging a plant only by grams... we're missing so much. Look at her. Look at the work she's giving us. Look at the structure. Look at the flowers. Look at the aroma. Look at the personality. Look at the photographs. Look at the enjoyment she brings to the process. That's all part of the result. Yield is one measurement. It isn't the entire experience. And Pink Rosay has already given me something that can't really be weighed. She has given me enjoyment. 💗🌸 And that's valuable. ──────────────────────── 👑 MY COMPACT PRINCESS I think this nickname is officially permanent. 😂💗👑 She's my Compact Princess. Not because she's tiny. Not because she's the smallest. Not because she needs to be protected from the giants around her. She's simply... compact. Elegant. Substantial. Beautiful. And full of personality. She's got presence without needing to take over the room. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate most. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl to be noticed. She simply walks into the room... and somehow... you notice. 😂💗 Especially with your nose. 🍇😂 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. And once again... we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One shared room. One overall environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional foundation. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve individual personalities. Some plants are huge. Some are compact. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some are heavy. Some are elegant. Some are strange. Some are incredibly loud. And some... are Pink Rosay. 💗👑 That's why I love this experiment. We're not trying to make every plant behave the same. We're giving them the same opportunity... and watching what they decide to do with it. And Pink Rosay has decided: "I'm going to be beautiful." 😂 Fair enough. Mission accomplished. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT EXPRESSION The lighting environment remains part of the same upgraded setup across the 8×8 Adventure. The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures continue giving us more lighting capability and a broader lighting envelope. We're not simply throwing everything at maximum power. We're controlling the system. We're watching the plants. We're letting the genetics decide how they respond. And Pink Rosay? She's clearly happy with the arrangement. 💡☀️💗 The same photons that hit the rest of the room hit her. But what she does with them... that's her story. And this is exactly why I never get tired of looking at these plants side by side. Same sun. Different personalities. Different expressions. Different results. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE BIGGEST I actually think there's something beautiful about knowing she might not be the biggest producer... and loving her anyway. 😂💗 Because sometimes we become obsessed with numbers. How tall? How wide? How many grams? How much? How fast? And yes... those things matter. They're part of growing. But they're not everything. Sometimes a plant simply makes you feel something. You look at her... and you think: "Wow." That's Pink Rosay for me. And honestly... I'd rather have a plant that makes me excited to photograph her than a plant that gives me another hundred grams but makes me feel nothing. That's just my personal way of looking at it. And this girl? She makes me smile. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE DANCE OF PINK ROSAY There is something about the way she carries herself. I keep calling it her dance. 💗💃🌿 She's not rigid. She's not trying to prove anything. She's simply growing. Branch by branch. Flower by flower. Structure by structure. And when I look at her through the camera... I see movement. I see personality. I see a plant that somehow feels alive beyond simply being alive. And maybe that's why I enjoy her so much. She has character. You can feel it. You can see it. You can smell it. And that's rare. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL BEAUTIFUL Of course... we can't forget the frost. 😂❄️💗 The flowers continue looking beautifully developed. The resinous character is still one of the things that catches the camera. And the closer we get... the more details appear. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower texture. Sugar leaves. All those tiny details that make each flower its own little landscape. And I love bringing those details into the studio. Because when you're standing in the grow room... you see the plant. When you put a camera close to her... you discover another world. 📸🌸 And Pink Rosay has plenty of worlds hidden inside her flowers. ──────────────────────── 🍇 THE SMELL. THE LOOK. THE FEEL. This is probably why I keep coming back to her. It's not one thing. It's everything. The look. The structure. The flowers. The frost. The aroma. The compactness. The way she grows. The way she photographs. The way she makes me want to spend time with her. It's the whole package. And that's why I said earlier: It's an honor. It genuinely is. To have a cultivar like this in my hands... to be able to grow her... to document her... to watch her express herself... that's something I don't take for granted. 💗🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 AN HONOR TO GROW HER Sometimes you grow a plant and think: "Let's see what happens." And sometimes... you get lucky. You get something that makes you genuinely appreciate the privilege of growing. Pink Rosay has become one of those plants for me. I don't know what her final yield will be. I don't know exactly how she'll finish. I don't know what the final aroma will become. I don't know what the final flower structure will look like. And I don't need to know yet. Because I'm enjoying the journey. And that's the important part. The final number on the scale will eventually be there. But this moment? This experience? This can't be recreated. So I'm enjoying it. Every week. Every photograph. Every smell. Every little change. Every time I walk her into the studio. 💗📸🍇 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GROWER IS STILL MOSTLY WATCHING And once again... there isn't some huge intervention to report. 😂 And that's perfectly fine. At this stage, the major structural work is behind us. The plant is established. The flowers are established. The environment is established. The system is running. So my job becomes simpler. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Support. And when something actually needs attention... we respond. Otherwise? Get out of the way. 😂🌿 Let Pink Rosay be Pink Rosay. ──────────────────────── 🌱 SOMETIMES THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS ENJOY THE PLANT I've said this throughout the later weeks of the 8×8 Adventure... but I think Pink Rosay makes the point beautifully. You don't always need to do something. Sometimes you just need to appreciate what you've created. Or, more accurately... what the plant has created. 😂 We can provide the stage. We can provide the environment. We can provide the lighting. We can provide the nutrition. We can provide the support. But ultimately... the plant writes the story. And Pink Rosay is writing a beautiful one. 💗🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm simply enjoying the progression. 🌸 Continued flower development. ❄️ Continued resin development. 🍇 Continued aroma development. 🌿 Overall plant health and maturity. 💗 Her structure and beautiful compact form. 📸 And, of course, every opportunity to photograph her. I'm not trying to force an ending. I'm not trying to predict her final production. I'm not trying to turn her into something she's not. I'm simply watching. And enjoying. And honestly... that's enough. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – AN HONOR Week 13. Pink Rosay Auto. Pheno A. My Compact Princess. 💗👑🍇 She's still amazing. She's still beautiful. She's still one of my favourites. And I still genuinely enjoy taking her for a walk into the studio. 😂📸 There is something about this girl that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the structure. Maybe it's the flowers. Maybe it's the aroma. Maybe it's the way she carries herself. Maybe it's simply the combination of everything. But whatever it is... she has it. And I honestly think that's more important than trying to predict whether she's going to be the biggest producer in the room. Maybe she won't be. Maybe another girl will absolutely destroy the scales. 😂⚖️🌿 And that's okay. Because Pink Rosay is giving us something different. She's giving us beauty. She's giving us personality. She's giving us aroma. She's giving us photographs. She's giving us a reason to stop. She's giving us a reason to smile. She's giving us a reason to appreciate the plant in front of us instead of simply waiting for the final number. And honestly... I think that's pretty damn special. 💗 It's truly an honor to have such a cultivar in my hands. To grow her. To watch her. To photograph her. To smell her. To document her. To learn from her. And to share her story with all of you. So yes... I'm repeating myself. 😂 She's beautiful. She's amazing. She's my favourite. And I love taking her into the studio. But if a plant keeps giving you reasons to say those things... why stop saying them? 😂💗👑 Pink Rosay... keep doing what you're doing. Keep dancing. Keep shining. Keep building. Keep smelling absolutely ridiculous. 😂🍇 And keep being the beautiful little princess you are. Because whatever happens with the final numbers... you've already given me something that can't be measured in grams. You've given me an experience. And that's an honor. 💗🌸🍇👑✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful moment with the Compact Princess. 💗👑 A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8×8 Adventure and share these individual journeys with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving me the opportunity to grow and experience this beautiful cultivar. 🌸💗 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. 🌱 A huge thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional fixtures that have allowed us to expand the lighting capability of the room. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who takes the time to stop by and see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Pink Rosay? You remain one of my absolute favourites. 😂💗👑 Not because you're necessarily the biggest. Not because you're necessarily going to win the final weight competition. But because you're you. Beautiful. Compact. Frosty. Aromatic. Elegant. Full of personality. And genuinely a pleasure to grow. It's an honor to have you in my hands. It's an honor to document you. And it's an honor to share you with everyone following this adventure. So this week... the spotlight belongs to you. Again. 😂💗 Let's make you shine. Let's enjoy the views. Let's enjoy the smell. Let's enjoy the flowers. Let's enjoy the dance. And let's simply see where this beautiful girl decides to take us. No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary interference. Just observation. Support. Appreciation. And a camera in my hands. 😂📸🌸 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the aromas keep getting louder, the scales keep waiting for their turn, and our Compact Princess keeps reminding me that sometimes... the most memorable plant isn't necessarily the biggest one. Sometimes... she's simply the one you can't stop looking at. 💗👑🍇🌸✨ Pink Rosay... it is truly an honor. Keep shining.

Hi everyone, brothers farmers Welcome to a new week in the PeakyPlansters gardens. I invite you to follow all my friends from Instagram even if you like ... I hope the contents like you .... Feel free to leave a comment

Well tying down is no longer an option, now the fight is to get them to stand up!! #shittyproblems No let up on white hairs yet!! It makes me sad and happy at the same time lol

Week 11: The Culmination of a Botanical Odyssey! Greetings, fellow cultivators! As we stand on the threshold of greatness, Week 11 marks the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Epsilon F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage, celebrating the triumphs and tribulations that have shaped our grow, and prepare to reap the rewards of our labor. From humble beginnings to towering magnificence, our Epsilon F1 has been a beacon of resilience and beauty throughout her growth cycle. With each passing week, she has defied expectations, surpassing milestones and blossoming into a botanical masterpiece. From the delicate tendrils of her seedling stage to the majestic colas of her flowering phase, she has captured our hearts and ignited our passion for cultivation. But let us not forget the tools and techniques that have guided us on this transformative journey. From the cutting-edge genetics provided by Royal Queen Seeds to the innovative nutrients crafted by Aptus Holland, our arsenal has been fortified with the finest resources available. Each piece of equipment, from the grow lights to the ventilation system, has played a vital role in creating the optimal environment for our plant to thrive. Ah, but it hasn't been without its challenges. From nutrient deficiencies to environmental fluctuations, we've encountered obstacles along the way that tested our resolve and ingenuity. But with perseverance and a steadfast commitment to excellence, we've overcome every hurdle, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before. As we approach the final days of our grow, we pause to reflect on the significance of this moment. It's not just about harvesting buds; it's about harvesting memories—memories of late nights in the grow room, tending to our plant with unwavering dedication; memories of shared triumphs and camaraderie within the grow diaries community; memories of a journey that has forever changed us as cultivators and individuals. And so, dear friends, as we bid adieu to Week 11 and prepare to embark on the harvest, let us revel in the beauty of this moment—a celebration of growth, resilience, and the boundless wonders of nature. May our harvest be bountiful, our buds potent, and our hearts filled with gratitude for the privilege of bearing witness to the miracle of life. But wait, there's more! Before we partake in the harvest festivities, let us indulge in a special photo shoot, capturing the essence of our Epsilon F1 in all her glory. With each snapshot, we immortalize the beauty and splendor of this momentous occasion, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Join me, dear friends, as we embark on this final chapter of our Epsilon F1's journey. Until next time, happy harvesting, and may your gardens be forever green! #EpsilonF1HarvestCelebration #Week11Culmination #BotanicalOdyssey #RoyalQueenSeedsGenetics #AptusHollandNourishment #GrowDiariesCommunityStrength Genetics -Epsilon F1 @rqs_esp @royalqueenseedssp @rqsglobal Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptus_portugal @aptusbrasil @aptusplanttechaus @aptus_thailand @aptusplanttechnz @aptususa_official LED @lumatekeu Controls - @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.agro @trolmaster.support As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found Link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All

Die GSC bildet auch wirklich sehr schöne dunkle und süßliche duftende Buds aus. Ich mache mir bei ihr koch echt sorgen um den Thripsbefall, eventuell werde ich eine Buds bei der Ernte entfernen oder waschen.

This was for real a crazy ride. After the other one did nothing in the first 4 weeks gave this lady the double power and goes full send. This white widow produces so massive big buds that all 3 dryferm bags are fully loaded! More than hyped to show you the final results 💪 🙌

I switched over to 12 and 12 four days ago.i went out and bought the net so I'm about to get my Scrog on.i really don't have a lot to say.everything has ran smoothly.my ppm is kind of high but nectar of the gods is pretty gentle as long as you go by the feeding schedule. i have been feeding with my line up every other other feeding.then it's fish shit and herculean harvest and ph ro water to 6.4.

girl, from the beginning she was watered with water from the tap, the value of which is almost 350ppm. and a lot of lime, which prevents me from growing it bigger, but I'm happy with the result :) it's a small pot and only 50 w :) the flowers look very beautiful and sticky :) super ​

📅 Week 13 | Days 92–98 📅 🌼🌸🌺 Flowering Phase 🌼🌸🌺 Day 98 🌞 – Oreoz 🔸 Oreoz is looking like an absolute showstopper this week. The buds are incredibly dense and completely frosted with thick, glistening trichomes – it almost looks like they’ve been dusted with snow. Resin production is off the charts, especially on the top colas. Trichomes: Mostly milky with some still clear – no ambers yet. She's not quite ready, but getting close. 🔸 Climate control has improved. Humidity started the week at 63%, but with the dehumidifier now running and all clip fans at full power, it's being maintained steadily between 50–60%. That little climate shift is definitely helping – the buds are chunking up without any signs of stress. The slight 2–3°C increase in tent temperature is worth it. 🔸 Nutrients: 1 week of Overdrive (Advanced Nutrients) before the flush phase. Water intake has already slowed down noticeably – another good sign that the end is near. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 💨 Humidity = 63% → Target: below 60% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 🍯 Pot Size: 18 liters 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

Hey everyone . This week she was left in her 1 L pot, and will not be in the 11 L pot until next week :-). She was topped again and accepted it super 😃. By the time she is repotted next week and given Green House Powder Feeding for the first time, she will have received a small portion of Canna Vega :-). Otherwise it grows very quickly and vigorously, and they look beautiful 😍👌. I wish you all a lot of fun with the new update, stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/sweet-skunk-f1-fast-version/ Type: Sweet Skunk F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Sweet Skunk Auto (SWS34) X Early Skunk 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Herzliche Grüße an alle! Wir beschreiben die erste Woche der Vor bzw. Blüte. Die Pflanze hat etwas Masse und Höhe bekommen. Sie verhält sich mit den Trieben eher in nähe des Stammes. Sie wächst sehr gut! Aufgrund des Wetterumschwungs musste ich die Düngermengen wie auch das Gießverhalten erhöhen. Das Düngen alle zwei Tage sagt ihr sehr zu, an den anderen Tagen verwende ich PH- angepasstes Wasser. Super Microbes geben wir zweimal wöchentlich mit 0,2 g/l. Der Bedarf an Kalium und Phosphor steigt ab dieser Woche stetig an. Die zweite und dritte Woche werden wieder spannend. Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen, Liken und oder Kommentieren! Herzliche Grüße an die Community! LueRootsGrowGermany

Again— my fault on this one— coo po ups and wold have been better if I would have ran individual dwc per auto— screwed them up in the veg/flower transition- regardless the terps are insane

-Began flowering at the beginning of the week -Watering every second day -Will give a small top dress soon of Gaia Green all purpose

it's extremely hot 106 this week out here California any tips to keep theese growing bigger??

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 15 🌸 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B by Zamnesia 👑 The Beast Has Finished Her Journey — Compact, Frosty, Beautiful, and Herself Until the Very End! 💚🔥 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 My friends... WE HAVE A FINISHED BEAST! 😂🍮🔥 And what a journey this girl has given us! This is Chem Brûlée Pheno B by Zamnesia, and as we reach the end of her growing journey, I can honestly say that she has been a beautiful plant to follow from beginning to end. Compact. Dense. Frosty. Beautifully structured. And absolutely full of character. She has been shining throughout this adventure, and now we finally get to look back at the whole journey and appreciate what she has become. This report is a little different from our usual weekly updates because we're dividing the final chapters into separate reports. There are plenty of photographs to share, and we want to give the harvest, drying, studio photography, trimming, and everything that follows the attention they deserve. So, please bear with me while we put the final pieces of this story together. 💚📸 For this report, we're focusing on the end of her growing journey, the final appearance of the plant, the harvest, and the beginning of the post-harvest process. The next report will continue the story with more details from the drying and trimming stages. And later, when the time is right, we'll return with the remaining observations and the smoke review. One plant. One beautiful journey. And several chapters worth sharing! ──────────────────────── 🌱 FROM SEED TO HARVEST — A 12/12 FROM SEED JOURNEY For anyone joining us for the first time, Chem Brûlée Pheno B was part of our 8×8 Adventure, where we followed twelve individual plants sharing the same general room environment. One of the defining parts of this project was our 12/12 from seed approach. Rather than beginning with a traditional vegetative lighting schedule, we kept the plants under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle from the beginning. The idea behind this experiment was to observe how different genetics and phenotypes developed when sharing the same general environment and lighting schedule. And this girl certainly gave us something worth documenting! From the early stages to the final photographs, she developed her own distinctive expression. She remained a compact, characterful plant with beautiful flower structure, plenty of frost, and a presence that made her stand out in the room. The 12/12 from seed approach has been one of the most interesting parts of this adventure because the plants have shown us that sharing a lighting schedule does not mean sharing an identical development pattern. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different individual stories. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B has been a fantastic example of why we wanted to document every plant separately. We weren't simply growing a cultivar. We were following an individual plant from seed to harvest. And now, we get to close her growing chapter. 🍮💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 👑 A SPOTLESS JOURNEY — BEAUTIFUL FROM BEGINNING TO END Some plants make you work hard to understand their personality. Others introduce themselves early and keep reminding you who they are. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has been one of those girls that has consistently given us something to appreciate. She has been beautiful throughout her journey, and I love how her individual character remained visible as she developed. Her compact structure. Her dense flowers. Her frosty appearance. The details we could see in the closer photographs. And the way she carried herself in the room. She's a beast, but not because she needed to take over the entire tent to get our attention. She had her own presence. And sometimes that's even better. 😂🍮🔥 One of my favourite things about this plant is how much there is to appreciate when you stop looking at her as just another plant in a room. The overall structure tells one story. The individual flowers tell another. And when we take the time to photograph the details, we discover even more to enjoy. She gave us plenty of reasons to take the camera out, bring her into the studio, and give her a little extra attention. And that's exactly what we did! ──────────────────────── 📸 STUDIO TIME — LET'S GIVE THIS GIRL HER MOMENT Once we reached the end of her growing journey, it was time to take Chem Brûlée Pheno B into the studio. And honestly, my friends, she deserved it! 💚📸 We took photographs of the plant and her flowers, including macro photography to capture the details that are easy to miss when looking at the whole plant. Those closer shots allow us to appreciate the individual flower structure, the visible frost, and the small details that make each photograph different. A full-plant photograph gives us context. A closer photograph reveals structure. And macro photography lets us explore the details in a completely different way. That's one of the things I love about documenting a grow properly. The photographs aren't simply there to make the diary look pretty. They also help preserve a visual record of the plant at different stages and allow us to look back at the characteristics that made her special. And this girl gave us plenty to photograph! She was compact, dense, frosty, and absolutely beautiful. We also took a small branch for the macro photography session. The rest of the plant was dried as a whole plant, which we'll explain in more detail in the next report. For now, enjoy the photographs and take a moment to appreciate the details of this beautiful phenotype. 🍮🌸📸 ──────────────────────── ❄️ DENSE, COMPACT, FROSTY — THE FINAL LOOK This is where Chem Brûlée Pheno B really earns her nickname as a little beast. She's compact. She's dense. And she has a beautiful, frosty appearance that makes the closer photographs particularly enjoyable. I love being able to look back at a plant after following her for so many weeks and see the final result of that journey. We watched her develop her structure. We followed the flowers. We documented her changing appearance. And now we have these final photographs to preserve the memory of how she looked at harvest. She's the kind of plant that makes you want to keep looking at the details. One photograph leads to another. Then you notice something else. And suddenly you're spending far longer in the studio than you originally planned. 😂📸💚 That's part of the fun of growing and documenting plants. Sometimes the grow room gives us the story. Sometimes the studio lets us appreciate it from a completely different perspective. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B gave us plenty to enjoy in both places. ──────────────────────── 🍂 A BEAUTIFUL FADE — THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE ROOM As she approached the end of her growing journey, she also gave us a beautiful fade. Watching the plant change toward the end is another part of the story worth documenting. The appearance of the foliage evolves, and the final photographs preserve that transition from the earlier stages through to the end of the run. For me, it's important to show more than just the prettiest close-up of a flower. I want the diary to tell the complete story. The plant as she developed. The plant as she matured. The changes we observed along the way. And the plant as she looked when we finally reached harvest. Chem Brûlée Pheno B gave us a beautiful final chapter in the room, and I'm happy we took the time to photograph it. No two plants need to finish with exactly the same appearance to make their journeys interesting. And that's another reason why these individual reports matter. Every plant deserves to have her own ending documented. 🍂🌱💚 ──────────────────────── ✂️ HARVEST DAY — THE END OF ONE CHAPTER, THE START OF ANOTHER And then came harvest day! After following Chem Brûlée Pheno B through her growing journey, it was time to bring that chapter to a close. We harvested the plant and prepared her for the next stage. Apart from the small branch we removed for the macro photography session, we kept the remaining plant intact for drying as a whole plant. We did not break the entire plant down into individual buds immediately. That whole-plant approach is an important part of this particular story, and we'll return to it in the next report when we discuss the drying process in more detail. For now, the important milestone is that the growing phase is complete. The plant has finished her journey in the room. The photographs have been taken. And the next part of the process has begun. Growing is only one chapter of the full journey, and I want to document the rest just as carefully. So we're not closing the diary here. We're simply turning the page. 💚✂️🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌬️ DRYING — A LITTLE PREVIEW OF THE NEXT CHAPTER As mentioned above, Chem Brûlée Pheno B was dried as a whole plant, apart from the branch removed for photography. During the drying period, relative humidity was generally maintained around 60%, with humidity closer to approximately 45% during the first few days as we worked to bring moisture out of the freshly harvested plant. We'll explain this process and share more of the drying photographs in the next report. I don't want to squeeze every detail into this one and leave the next chapter with nothing to say! 😂🌿 There are still photographs to share, details to explain, and a trimming session to document. So consider this a preview rather than the complete drying report. The plant has moved from the growing room to the next stage, and we're continuing to follow her journey carefully. More details are coming soon. ──────────────────────── ✂️ THE TRIM BIN AND OUR ZAMNESIA CURVED SCISSORS There's another part of the process I want to highlight before we close this report. For the trimming session, we used our trim bin and our curved Zamnesia scissors. Those curved scissors are worth a mention because they've been part of our harvest workflow, and I enjoy having tools that are suited to the kind of work we're doing. Once the plant was ready for trimming, we separated the flowers from the rest of the plant material and worked through the buds with care. The trim bin was part of that process, and the curved scissors were there to help us work through the flowers. But we'll save the fuller discussion for the next report. That's where we can give the drying, trimming, tools, photographs, and the whole process their own proper space. For now, I simply wanted to introduce the equipment and show where it fits into this girl's journey. And yes, my friends, the Zamnesia curved scissors deserve a little love too! 😂✂️💚 ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — TWELVE PLANTS, TWELVE STORIES For anyone who hasn't followed the project from the beginning, the 8×8 Adventure brought twelve individual plants together in one shared room. The plants shared the same general environmental strategy, lighting schedule, and nutritional approach. But they didn't all develop in the same way. That was the whole point. We wanted to document the differences between the individual plants and observe how their genetics and phenotypes expressed themselves within the same general conditions. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has been one of the plants that made this experiment especially enjoyable. She developed her own structure, maintained a compact presence, and gave us beautiful flowers to photograph. And now, as we reach the end of her growing journey, we can look back at her individual diary and see the story unfold from seed to harvest. The room was shared. The general conditions were shared. But her story belonged to her. And that's why she gets her own final report rather than simply disappearing into a general room update. Same room. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different stories. That's the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 💬 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

And what a beautiful journey! 🍮💚🔥 From seed to harvest, this girl has been a pleasure to follow. She was compact. She was dense. She was frosty. She had her own character and her own expression. And when we reached the end of her growing journey, she gave us a beautiful plant to photograph and document. We brought her into the studio. We took closer photographs and macro shots. We appreciated the details of her flowers. We watched her beautiful fade. And then we harvested her, beginning the next chapter of the journey. The main plant was kept intact for whole-plant drying, apart from the branch we removed for photography. The drying and trimming process will receive more attention in the next report, including the use of our trim bin and Zamnesia curved scissors. We're dividing the final reports because there is simply too much to show and explain in a single update. I know some of the story will overlap with other diaries, but each plant has her own report, and we want every reader to be able to follow the complete journey of the plant they're interested in. Thank you for your patience while we put these final chapters together. We're getting there, my friends! 😂💚 And Chem Brûlée Pheno B? She has absolutely earned her place in this adventure. One beautiful phenotype. One complete growing journey. And plenty more to share as we continue through the post-harvest stages. The growing chapter is finished. The story isn't over yet. 🍮🌸💚✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and being part of our growing experience. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that became part of this experiment. 💡🙏 Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and maintain the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone following these diaries on GrowDiaries. Thank you for the comments, the questions, the support, and the time you spend following each individual plant. I also want to thank everyone who enjoys the photography side of this adventure. Taking the time to capture the whole plant and the small details helps preserve the story beyond the growing room. And we're not finished sharing yet! The next report will continue with more details from the drying and trimming stages, including our trim bin and Zamnesia curved scissors. We'll keep documenting the journey, one chapter at a time. Chem Brûlée Pheno B, you beautiful little beast... Thank you for the story you've given us. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🍮🔥

🌱 Grow Journal – Week 8 This week, the plant kept growing steadily and looks healthy overall. She gained almost 8 centimeters in just seven days—that’s more than a centimeter per day, which is a great sign of strong development. I’m planning to work on her structure a little: probably a topping in the coming days, along with a light defoliation. The goal is to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure the light is distributed more evenly, while guiding her growth in a balanced way. The main challenge this week has been the pH. This morning, the reservoir measured 4.8 while the tray was at 5.2, a 0.4 difference. I honestly don’t understand why the drop was so sharp. I had added Athena Balance, which should stabilize the nutrient solution. The only explanation I can see is the heat—we hit almost 31°C this weekend, and I suspect the nutrient solution was heavily affected by the temperature rise. If anyone reading this journal has insights on why this happens, I’d be glad to hear them. It’s a bit frustrating, because Autopots are supposed to make things simple. But in reality, I still need to monitor closely, especially since the coco buffer doesn’t seem to be doing its job properly—or maybe the reservoir just dropped too low and threw everything off. Either way, I’ll stay vigilant. Hopefully, with summer ending and temperatures cooling down, the solution will stabilize and the pH won’t swing so much. On the positive side, I’m still really happy with Athena nutrients. The solution stays crystal clean, no buildup, no deposits, and that makes things a lot easier to manage. So overall: strong growth, healthy plant, but pH management continues to be the main challenge. Let’s see how things evolve next week.
