Week 8 Veg – Go Big or Go Home! 🌱💪 Hey, Grow Fam! 🌿 What an intense week it’s been in the grow room! This was one of those “go big or go home” moments, and I decided to take it to the extreme. I’m holding off on flipping to flower for just one more week because the plants are filling up the space beautifully—I can’t help but push things to their limits and see just how much these ladies can give! 😎✨ This week was all about maximizing growth and creating the best canopy I can. I did a light defoliation, just here and there to open things up a bit, and then came the bending—LOTS of bending. 🌱 I’m working hard to create an even canopy, though with all these different genetics, we’ll see how close I get! 🤞 Regardless, I’m giving it my all, and I’m super pumped to see how everything will respond in the next stage. The final touch this week? I ended it with a bold 36 hours of darkness to prepare for the big flip next week—flower mode, here we come! 🌸 What Went Down This Week: 1. Canopy Work – Bending and training all over the place to try and keep things even. It’s a real challenge with different genetics, but the payoff is going to be worth it! 2. Defoliation – Just a little bit of leaf removal here and there to help with airflow and light penetration, prepping them for that final veg stretch. 3. 36 Hours of Darkness – Closed out the week with a full day and a half of darkness. The 36 hours of darkness is a technique I like to use to help signal to the plants that it’s time to transition from veg to flower. 🌒 By giving them an extended dark period, I’m mimicking the natural shift from summer to fall, when daylight hours start to shorten. This kick-starts the plants’ flowering hormones (phytochrome), helping them shift into flower mode more smoothly and quickly. In my experience, this method helps speed up the flip, reduces early flowering stress, and often leads to a more uniform bloom across the canopy. It’s like giving the plants a little nudge to let them know, “Hey, it’s time to bloom!” 🌸 This technique is especially useful for growers like me who want to maximize the efficiency and performance of their plants. 😊 4. TrolMaster + App Love – As always, the TrolMaster app continues to blow me away. We’re going to dive deep into it below, but trust me, this app makes managing everything a breeze! 👇 Next week, we’re flipping to flower! I’m beyond excited for what’s to come, and I can already tell these plants are ready to explode with growth in flower mode.

What can I say in the end except that I am very happy that everything went well again and now I am enjoying the wonderful smoke of Cookies Gelato. Here is a quick overview of this cycle. 21/06/2022 - planting 14/09/2022 - harvest 3 weeks of vegetation 8 weeks of flowering 15 days of drying 60 years. total yield 1 Cookies Gelato Auto plant After harvesting, the plant was dried for 15 days, after which I trimmed the flowers and put them in jars to ripen. I think I've stated almost everything I had in mind. If anyone has any questions, feel free to write. I have to admit that the grow diaries community is not that active anymore and I'm sorry that it has come to that. I hope that the right things will come into focus again so that the community can grow and not compete. Thank you all for your support.

The situation is starting to get super interesting also for our photoperiodic Zamnesia, we have new and very different strains that are expressing themselves very well, Karen Kush, Test 1, Test 2, Cosmic Noodles and Runtz are already making my mouth water, it is the grass that I will be consuming during the magical Christmas and end of year periods, it must be done well to give nice trips to me and those who are with me. This other strain is very interesting and another novelty coming out soon on Zamnesia XXX Test 1 has sativa characteristics at least in comparison, the lateral buds align with the main cola to form a nice bush with a sativa shape but unlike sativas it costs us a truly excellent flowering speed to be in the third week, we are really ahead. --- Plant 1- 3 of flowering - This plant really has all the characteristics to be an excellent latest generation strain. We really like the speed of flowering and the quantity of flower now we will see how they are composed. --- Plant 2 - It is not in the photo but I did topping once and I left lower branches I will show it to you soon it is in excellent shape. ---- Fertilization program - The two plants are super voracious they both drink 2 liters a day of the fertilization program of the beginning of flowering of the personalized Plagron card. Feeding / Drink regular 1,5 liter day / - Alga Bloom - 4 ml/l - Power Roots - 1 ml/l - Pure Zym - 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal - 1 ml/l - Power Buds - 1 ml/l --- The dehumidifier now works between 50% and 55% --- You can find the 100% Organic Plagron package on Zamnesia at the link: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-pla gro n-easypack-natural .html // Strain Description // Strain coming soon! - Buy this Strain — Strain still not released choose another on www.zamnesia.com - Fully organic soil and fertilizers --- https://plagron.com buy at www.zamnesia.com - Music and sound --- I made my girls listen to 432hz frequencies and black music from www.radionula.com - Z --- You can find these seeds, much more from the world of cannabis, mushrooms and an incredible series of accessories and gadgets on the reference site not only mine but of many growers ---- https:// www.zamnesia.com

Hi! I‘m very happy with the result, After I did a wet trim of the plant, I let her dry for About 1 week @ 20 Degree, 60 RH . The Diele is quite good, I like the density of the Bud. The size is quite small, But they are Heavy. I‘m excited for a tasting and smoke Review ;)

The plants are now putting all their energy into bud production, and it’s really starting to show!🌱 Both are developing bigger and bigger buds, and the smell is becoming more intense every day. #2 has an insanely large main bud, completely covered in trichomes. The aroma is very hazy, deep, and complex. it’s going to be interesting to see how it develops in the coming weeks. #1, on the other hand, continues to impress with its tropical, sweet, and pineapple-like scent, and its buds are also swelling up beautifully! Everything is going exactly as it should—excited to see how much more they’ll bulk up in the next weeks!💚

Week 5 Report: Big Cheese Auto Blossoms into Flower Power! Hi Guys! Buckle up for another thrilling chapter in the saga of our green queen, the Big Cheese Auto. Week 5 marks her grand entrance into the world of flowering, and oh, the excitement is palpable! Big shoutout to Seeds Mafia for the genetics that keep surprising and delighting us. As we transition into this flowering phase, it's like witnessing a well-choreographed dance, and our Big Cheese Auto is stealing the spotlight. 🌸✨ The Autopot system is proving to be a game-changer. She's sipping on her own schedule, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. It's like having a master chef in the kitchen, deciding when and how much to feast on those nutrients. Now, let's dive into the nutrient symphony: Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro is still grooving. The dance with Mono-silicic acid (Si) continues, ensuring a stress-free environment as our star transitions into flowering. P-Boost: A round of applause for the latest addition to our nutrient crew. P-Boost Provides a large amount of organic phosphorus (P)and brings a powerhouse of organic nitrogen (N) and highly concentrated L-amino acids. It's like giving our plant a secret weapon for flowering. Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our guardian of structural integrity, remains vigilant. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundation for the floral fireworks that lie ahead. All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio continues to be the backbonebut (just for this week), but here's a twist - the soil pellets are now in play. It's like the stage is set, and our Big Cheese Auto is the leading lady in this nutrient-filled drama. Start Boost (0.25ml/L): The roots are thriving, thanks to Start Boost. It's like a construction crew working tirelessly to ensure a solid foundation for the upcoming bloom spectacle.(i will stop this ) Topbooster: Introducing the bloom and maturation stimulator that's about to revolutionize our green symphony. Topbooster is the 100% organic maestro with a concoction of active ingredients that scream "flower power." L-amino acids, polysaccharides, trace elements (B, Fe, Mo), bloom-promoting natural plant stimulants, and vitamin complexes from natural fermentation — it's a holistic approach to enhancing the flowering response. How Topbooster Works: It's a botanical ballet! L-amino acids: Leading the floral development and maturation charge. Trace elements (B, Fe, Mo): Assisting in the intricate dance of floral development. Polysaccharides (sugars): Stimulating nutrient uptake and microlife populations, like a sweet rhythm for our plant. Vitamins: The conductors of hormone production. Gibberellins for shooting, cytokinins for cellular division — it's like the choreography that transforms a bud into a floral masterpiece. Together, P-Boost and Topbooster form the dynamic duo, ensuring our Big Cheese Auto doesn't just flower but does so with a grandeur that elevates the end product's quality. Larger fruit, more fibers, resins, and sugars — it's like a recipe for cannabis opulence. Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance with mycorrhizal fungi is strengthening. Picture it like a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake, and fortifying our plant's foundation. NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: The foliar spa treatment continues. The microelement cocktail is like a VIP party for our leaves, creating a protective shield against nutrient deficiencies. 🚿🍃 Training Update: The leaf-bending symphony continues. It's like sculpting a masterpiece, preparing the canvas for the grand artwork that lies ahead. And the best is yet to come - defoliation is on the horizon. Clearing out the clutter, allowing her to shine from the inside out. TDS and pH: Our numbers are looking sweet with a TDS of 390 and a pH of 6.0. It's like hitting the perfect notes in a musical composition, creating an environment where our Big Cheese Auto can thrive. As we transition into the next chapter, the anticipation is building, armed with the botanical brilliance of P-Boost and Topbooster. It's not just cultivation; it's an artistic expression of nature's bounty. Flowering is like the crescendo in a symphony, and our green maestro is ready to lead the orchestra.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) 🍬 The Patient One – Growing at Her Own Pace Every grow has a story, and not every story begins perfectly. Candy Rain is the only survivor from this folder. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely on me, and that's simply part of growing. Every mistake becomes another lesson, and rather than focusing on what was lost, this diary celebrates the plant that kept pushing forward. Despite her delayed start, she's proving that healthy genetics and a stable environment can overcome a rough beginning remarkably quickly. While she's developing a little more slowly than the rest of the room, each passing week brings noticeable progress, and she's steadily writing her own success story. This project continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination, challenging the common belief that this lighting regime prevents vigorous development. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, grown under the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves the opportunity to shine in her own time. And this week... She's beginning a brand-new chapter. 🌱 Week 5 – No Rush, Just Progress Although I'm still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant is clearly standing at the doorstep of flowering. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the upper growth, signaling that the transition is now underway. Unlike some of her neighbors that stretched almost overnight, Candy Rain is making the change more gradually, continuing to strengthen her structure before committing all of her energy to flower production. Standing around 69 cm tall, she's currently one of the smaller ladies in the room, but there's nothing weak about her. Her main stem has thickened beautifully, the branch spacing remains clean and open, and every new node seems ready to become a future flowering site. She simply isn't in a hurry. Sometimes the plants that take their time during vegetative growth surprise us once flowering truly begins, and I'm excited to discover whether Candy Rain has one of those stories waiting to unfold. 🌿 Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and stress-free throughout the grow. Low Stress Training helped open the canopy early, while regular leaf repositioning continues allowing light to reach developing branches without removing healthy foliage. A few of the older leaves still carry small scars from the early stages of the grow. Those marks are simply reminders that the beginning wasn't perfect. The important part is what the plant is telling me today. Every piece of fresh growth is emerging healthy, vibrant, and beautifully green. The stems continue strengthening, the canopy remains balanced, and new flowering sites appear a little larger with every passing day. Older leaves tell yesterday's story. New growth tells tomorrow's. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation This week I made one intentional change. Even though I'm still closing her vegetative chapter, Candy Rain has now joined the same feeding schedule as every other flowering plant inside the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L Rather than keeping her on a reduced vegetative program, I decided to support the transition she's already showing naturally. With an EC around 1.78 and pH maintained at 6.0, she's accepted the new feeding schedule without showing any signs of stress. The newest growth remains healthy, the foliage stays richly green, and the plant appears completely comfortable with the nutritional change. Now she's eating exactly like the rest of the room. We'll see over the coming week whether that extra support helps her settle fully into flowering. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing stable conditions throughout the flowering room: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Even during the warmer summer days, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and excellent airflow continue allowing every plant to develop comfortably. The ecosystem remains balanced, and Candy Rain seems perfectly happy within it. 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should officially mark the beginning of flowering. I'm expecting the stretch to become much more noticeable as hormones shift fully toward bloom, and it'll be fascinating to see whether she begins closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Right now she may be the slowest plant in the tent, but she's also showing steady, healthy development every single week. Sometimes patience is rewarded with something truly special. For now, I'm simply letting her tell her own story. 🙏 Final Thoughts Not every plant follows the same schedule. One of the most enjoyable parts of growing is learning to work with each individual plant instead of expecting every seed to perform exactly the same way. Candy Rain has reminded me of that every week. She isn't racing anyone. She isn't trying to be the biggest. She's simply growing at her own pace, building a healthy structure, and preparing for the next stage when she's ready. Whether she finishes alongside the rest of the room or a little later, she has already earned her place in this project by showing that patience can be every bit as beautiful as speed. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing consistently reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next week… Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Going

Buds forming well, and this bubblegum smell is all the money💪😂 cant wait to smoke them..

Y Griega and Gelato Ice Cream are approximately 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the plants in flowering. Adding 1 teaspoon of Blackstrap Molasses every watering and fertilizer every other watering.

3rd week of Flower done, Shining silver haze is 99days old and honey cream and critical are 68days old. Been hard controlling the front 2 plants definitely taken over light of back 2 plants, starting to support honey cream at front as its coals are getting heavy ans dropping. Will increase nutrients today, 3rd week done and looking good and healthy got the odd brown pistols and hoping it's not mould related

Last defoliation and final round, next week I will flush

Another productive week, flowers everywhere, first trichomes are popping out, aroma is starting to develop. As mentioned previously I added the 1ml/L of Green Sensation.

8/24 update: Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this 17+1 strain photoperiod SOG grow adventure! Yes, I said plus one. If you're following me, you may have already seen that I decided to sow one more strain. The first Jenny Kush seed didn't germinate and even if it did, we have 3 possible males in the garden, the rest are feminized. Since I bought sixteen 12 inch square pots to fill a 48" x 48" footprint, and we have some regular seeds in the mix, I figured it'd be a good idea to add one more strain. I went with another breeder I have never grown before, Expert Seeds. The strain is Gorilla x Cookies. My "helper" forgot to wet the seeds after I had sowed them and the top soil was a bit dry. I was not in the garden a little less than 48 hours and I gave them water when sowing, but I hope they didn't dry out too much. If the Gorilla Cookies doesn't germinate, I will rule that one as user error and not on the breeder. The rest of the garden is growing strong with the exception of the Sour Lemonaid. She sprouted looking a bit burnt and has some deformed leaves. In my experience, they usually grow out of it, but only time will tell. Thanks for stopping in and if you get a chance, check out a few of my other diaries and give me a follow. Happy growin', happy harvestin', and happy tokin'! Peace, ☮️ Love, 💚 and Frosty Nugs! ❄️🌲 - Fo' Twenny

This is it guys! the end is here with an amazing harvest! i am so stoked to smoke it and taste the terps maybe some rosin also? hehe, i honestly wish this strain was available in photo version and not auto flower but what can you do haha, i give this strain a 10/10 just more than Autoflower would be nice on such a nice strain 😁 happy growing all! 😎✌️💚
