Experiment explanation see week1 This week nothing special happened with my both living soil plants...only the flowers got a bit more fat...nothing else Got some water and compost tea...thats it

A planta segue forte, saudável e explosiva. Na última semana, a evolução dela a cada 24h foi algo impressionante. Segurei um pouco na nutrição para prevenir um overfert. Fiz uma leve defoliação e também tirei alguns brotos menos promissores. Seguimos aí para mais uma semana. Colaborem com meu cultivo e me ajudem com dicas! ⛓️💪🏽

Una cosecha emocionante después de todas estas semanas Ahora, a esperar los 30 días de curado y la cata! 😍

Semana sem grandes surpresas. Grade funcionando muito bem para espalhar as colas. planta crescendo rapidamente, como era de se esperar no início da floração.

Un poco de supercropping para que no se choquen contra el foco.

Frosting up and looking great . Not doing much to her aside from a little defol here and there . Few more weeeks to go

And here we go into flowering week seven. The buds are looking impressive by now. I feel like they're starting to bulk up - hopefully, those internodal gaps fill in nicely. Temperature and humidity are stable. I aim for 25°C during the day, and at night, it drops to around 21.5–22°C. Humidity stays between 45–50%. I could probably lower it further, but that would make things too hot, so I trust my airflow and ventilation instead. On day 70, I noticed a couple of leaves showing early ‘autumn colors.’ I’m curious how much longer this will take. Plagron additives like Sugar Royale, Power Buds, and Green Sensation are said to accelerate ripening. DNA Genetics suggests 9–10 weeks of flowering, so it’s getting exciting. Amber trichomes are a must for this Kush diva! 😉 Some parts of the plant seem to be purpling! That’s interesting since nights aren’t particularly cold. Could it be phosphate-related? Light stress? Just the strain? The smell is changing more and more towards citrus - like a ‘sharp, earthy lemon.’ It almost reminds me of a wood polish! 😄 I'm gradually removing any drying leaves at the bottom, but other than that, there’s not much to do - just watering, keeping an eye on temp and humidity, and relaxing. See you soon!

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 7 | Finally Whispering That Flower Is Coming Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following this diary, you'll know that Passion Fruitz has become one of the most fascinating plants in this entire project. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's flowering the fastest. Quite the opposite. She's teaching us that sometimes the most interesting plants are the ones that refuse to follow the schedule we expected. Every other lady in the room has already settled into flowering. Meanwhile, Passion Fruitz has continued building herself, almost completely ignoring the fact that she's been growing under a 12/12 light schedule since the day she broke through the soil. This week, however... Something finally changed. 🌱 Why We're Calling This Week One of Flower Technically, she's still only in pre-flower. The first signs are there. Tiny white pistils are beginning to appear. The growing tips are changing shape. The plant is slowly transitioning from producing leaves into producing flowers. Is she fully flowering yet? Not really. But every flowering journey has to begin somewhere, and this week feels like the true beginning of that transition. So for the sake of documenting this phenotype consistently, I'm officially calling this her Week One of Flower. She's finally telling us she's ready. She's just doing it in her own time. And honestly... That's exactly what makes this phenotype so interesting. 🌿 The Bush That Never Stopped Growing Standing at approximately 66 cm tall, Passion Fruitz remains one of the shortest ladies inside the tent. But don't mistake short for small. She's become an incredibly dense, wide, and vigorous bush. Large fan leaves. Thick stems. Strong side branches. Beautiful spacing throughout the canopy. Instead of stretching vertically, she's invested her energy into building a broad, healthy framework. Looking at her now, I can't help wondering just how enormous she might have become if I had given her several weeks of vegetative growth before flowering. Considering she's been under 12/12 from seed, her ability to keep producing vegetative growth for so long has been remarkable. 🍃 Healthy, Lush & Full of Life Every time I look at this plant, one thing immediately stands out. The colour. Her foliage is rich, vibrant, and beautifully healthy. The large fan leaves almost glow under the lighting, while fresh new growth continues emerging from nearly every branch. She may be taking her time to flower, but she's certainly not wasting that time. Every day she seems to become stronger. Healthier. More prepared for what's ahead. Sometimes patience really does reward the grower. 🌱 Low Stress Training — Guiding, Never Forcing Low Stress Training has continued playing an important role throughout her development. Rather than forcing the plant into an unnatural shape, LST simply encourages branches to spread out, exposing more growing tips to light while maintaining a level canopy. Combined with occasional leaf tucking, it allows airflow to improve naturally while opening the plant without causing unnecessary stress. It's one of my favourite techniques because it works with the plant instead of against her. Passion Fruitz has responded beautifully. Her canopy is open. Balanced. Healthy. And ready for flowering whenever she decides it's time. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week's feeding remained exactly in line with the rest of the flowering room: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. Even though she's only just entering pre-flower, consistency remains the priority. The goal isn't to force development. It's to provide everything she needs so she can continue progressing naturally. 💡 Under Canopy Lighting From Day One One thing I'm particularly curious about with this phenotype is how she'll respond to the Lumiflora under canopy lighting. Unlike most of the other ladies, which received the additional light after flowering had already begun, Passion Fruitz has been benefiting from it while still building her structure. Although she doesn't yet need extra support for developing buds, those lower branches have been receiving additional light from a very early stage. Will that help her build stronger lower flower sites later? Will the lower canopy develop differently compared to the other phenotypes? Only time will tell. That's one of the reasons I love documenting projects like this. Sometimes the biggest discoveries are the ones you never planned to make. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment continues providing the stable conditions shared by every plant in this project: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these variables consistent allows the genetics—not environmental changes—to tell the story. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs perfectly capture the personality of this incredible plant. The full plant images reveal an impressively dense canopy despite her relatively modest height. The close-ups showcase beautifully healthy foliage, rich green colour, vigorous new growth, and those very first hints that flowering is finally beginning. Every picture tells the same story. She's been slow. But she's never stopped growing. And now she's finally preparing for the next chapter. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I'm hoping to see more white pistils appearing across every growing tip as pre-flower gradually develops into true flowering. I'm not expecting explosive bud formation just yet. Knowing this phenotype, she'll probably continue doing everything at her own pace. The stretch may begin slowly. The first clusters of calyxes should become more noticeable. And I'm especially curious to see how the Lumiflora under canopy lighting influences those lower branches as flowering finally gets underway. One thing is certain. Whatever she decides to do... She'll do it on her own schedule. And after watching her these past weeks, I've learned not to rush her. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz has reminded me that growing isn't about trying to force every plant into the same timeline. It's about understanding that every phenotype carries its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing its genetics. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the fantastic genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment every single day. ✨ Lumiflora for providing the under canopy lighting that's helping every branch receive the best possible opportunity to perform. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, sharing knowledge, or simply enjoying this adventure with me. The first flowers may only just be arriving... But sometimes the slowest journeys become the most memorable ones. I'll see you all next week as Passion Fruitz continues writing her own unique story, one leaf, one pistil, and one flower at a time. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

So for now i am free to grow anything. No restriction at all ¡¡¡ Now i use the "" Atami Janeco Lightmix "" substrate for this plant... I hope this one are the same quality of LIGHT MIX BIOBIZZ

Took some nice pictures with my microscope at the begin of this week from a underdeveloped budrot bud. So the other buds might have more and better thc on it. This is the end of the 6th week of flowering. Gave the plants only enzymen, because I don't know how long I can keep them going on flowering with this climate. Therefore I rather not feed them( there are still alot of nutrients in the soil), so they are not full of nutrients when I have to suddenly harvest them. As you can see, they take the nutrients out of the leafs as well, because they don't get nutrients from my watering. Might give them some Humic-Blast as well, in the new week. Will harvest them in 1 or 2 weeks depending on climate + growth of buds. The front plant buds didn't swell that much but the plant behind keeps flowering, not much but bit by bit. It's understandable because the day temperature is between 10-20 degrees fahrenheit and night temp is between 5-12 LOL

Plant is super healthy an bushy. Defoliated 2 days ago an doesn't even look like I touched her...💯🔥

Everything was fine. So I started to bath each pot by using a fermentation nutrient by using beneficial bacteria, mycobacteria, some Orgatrex, different mycorrhiza's as 36 hours fermented potions with 2 liters/pot. Oh I forget to tell You, as You can see in the Video the water drops 💦 on the surfaces of their leafs @ day 23 I used Boom Boom Spray too for preparing the next stage of powerful photosynthesis by raising up my SanLights @ 300 µmol/m² s. Second video was @ day 26. I raised up a little natural CO2 from 450 ppm to 550 ppm. So they were prepared for more powerful photosynthesis coming up the next days… Critical Orange Punch and Amnesia Zkittlez showed some typical nutritional sensitivities some phenotypes of Sativa dominated strains can show @ the way to powering up the system. Light tops on the head of the leaf area. But again: “Don’t panic, it’s organic.” Also @ day 26 I started with my preferred technique of LST by mainly just pull down a little, the biggest fan leafs, so the little Life-hungry drives were able to came through and got enough homogeneous ppfd for uniform growth rate too.

🌿 Woche 16 – Mentha de Croco 🇩🇪 Die beiden Mentha de Croco entwickeln sich weiterhin fantastisch! 💚 Die linke Pflanze hat inzwischen etwa 180 cm, die rechte beeindruckende 193 cm erreicht 🌱. Beide sehen wunderschön aus und wachsen weiterhin extrem säulenförmig nach oben – echte Wolkenkratzer im Garten! 🚀 Leider gab es gestern ein schweres Unwetter mit starken Windböen 🌩️🌬️. Dabei sind beide Pflanzen umgekippt. Durch ihre hohe, schlanke Wuchsform sind sie einfach etwas anfälliger für solche Wetterlagen. Ein schwererer Topf als die 30 Liter hätte hier sicherlich für mehr Standfestigkeit gesorgt. Zum Glück ist der Schaden überschaubar geblieben. 🙏 Lediglich einige Blätter sind abgebrochen, ansonsten haben beide Pflanzen das Unwetter erstaunlich gut überstanden und wirken weiterhin kerngesund. 💚 Beim Wiederaufstellen konnte ich außerdem sehen, dass die Wurzeln den Topfboden bereits vollständig durchwurzelt haben – ein gutes Zeichen für ein kräftiges Wurzelsystem. 🌱 Morgen gibt es wieder einen frisch angesetzten Komposttee, um das Bodenleben weiter zu fördern und die Pflanzen für die nächste Wachstumsphase optimal zu unterstützen. 🍵 Ich bin gespannt, wann die erste Pflanze die 2-Meter-Marke knackt! 🌿📈 🌿 Week 16 – Mentha de Croco 🇬🇧 Both Mentha de Croco plants continue to perform beautifully! 💚 The left plant has now reached approximately 180 cm, while the right one is an impressive 193 cm tall 🌱. They both look absolutely stunning and keep growing in a very upright, column-like shape—true skyscrapers in the garden! 🚀 Unfortunately, a severe thunderstorm with strong winds hit yesterday 🌩️🌬️, causing both plants to tip over. Their tall, narrow structure makes them naturally more vulnerable to these conditions. A heavier container than the current 30-liter pots would definitely have provided better stability. Fortunately, the damage was minimal. 🙏 Only a few leaves broke off, and overall both plants came through the storm remarkably well and still look incredibly healthy. 💚 While standing them back up, I also noticed that the roots have already fully colonized the bottom of the pots—a great sign of a strong and healthy root system. 🌱 Tomorrow they’ll receive another freshly brewed compost tea to further support the soil biology and keep them thriving. 🍵 Now it’s only a matter of time before the first plant breaks the 2-meter mark! 🌿

Aug 9: Now done three weeks of flowering for Tropicana Cookies EV. She is the youngest plant but also the tallest and looking quite happy. Got the UV led lights from AC Infinity going for the first time. Used these last year and they seem to work. UV lights stimulates trichome production and makes up for weak sunlight this far north. Aug 12: has stretched again but the bud sites are filling nicely. Pistils have started to turn pink. This plant is looking very happy and will likely be a big producer. Added another top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. It has been about two weeks at least since the last round, and this will be the final round. Stopped using molasses about two weeks ago. Great for growing but I don’t want to be smoking sugar. Use during veg stage but only 2-3 weeks into flowering.

This week I had to Lollipop again (I know is very late and I hope I didn’t stressed the plant to much). My canopy is so tick and so many overlapping leaves and buds in the center of the plant that don’t receive enough light or any at all , n combination with the RH swings that I got going on (45 and 63 RH), I’m very afraid of mold. I should have did a better job at Lollipoping from day 21. I’m inexperienced grower and I didn’t knew better. I decided is better to risk to shock the plant a little bit risking a reduction in yield then get mold or pests and lose it all. My 30 pin dehumidifier works great with the AC but sometimes when the AC( compressor) stops my RH jump at 62% -63%, witch I don’t like . I’m trying to keep the humidity around 50% but in such a small room between the AC and Dehumidifier I got big swings in temp ( 75-82) and RH ( 45%-63%) witch is not ideal but is nothing that I can do. I played with the AC and Dehumidifier setting a lot trying to keep humidity around 50% and temp around 80 degrees and that’s the best I can. My AC is set at 82 degrees and my Dehumidifier is set at 45% RH. Also during the lights off (day time) is very hard to keep the temperature In control when outside is 110-115 degrees with my portable AC (1400BTU) in the 4x 6 closet. Is crazy but I do my best to keep temp under control. This is another rocky mistake I made is trying growing weed DWC in the middle of summer where temps are 105-115 degrees constant in a closet without centralized AC port and at second level in the building. LOL Also I think I underfed her (630 PPM TDS, PH 5.8-5.9) ) and I got a Ca deficiency witch I think is the reason my flowers developed slower then I anticipated. Hopefully I’m wrong and everything will be good. P.S. I got a little bit of calcium deficiency caused by salt buildup (to much PK boost) despite my earlier belief that is underfed. I increased the PPM from week 4 (630-640TDS) to 680 TDS) on week 5 while I kept the PK booster at 3+ml l per gallon. Slightly my PPM’s was rising in my reservoir for few days until I decided that my plant can’t take that much nutrients (PK). 2-3 days after I increased the TDS I’ve noticed more spots on the lower leaves with tip burns on top ( first signs of PK toxicity). One day later found spots and yellowing of the leaves on top of the plant that indicates Ca deficiency caused by salt buildup ( PK toxicity) and reversed osmosis (hope I’m not wrong). Going into week 6 I lowered the PK boost at 1.5ml / gallon and total TDS to 640 PPM. Seems like leaves damage to stop and my PPM to stay stabile at 630-640. Trying to keep PH at 5.8 max 5.9. I will post pictures of my Ca deficiency/ PK toxicity. If you guys have any suggestions please leave me a comment.

Plant is doing amazing! This is my first grow & I am so excited , I’m in the process of practicing LST , I am not the best but you learn as you go! Let me know what you all think! She seems healthy to me

Giorno 56 effettuata seconda Defoliazione

Hello growers and welcome to week 6. I expect Queen Citronella to gain a lot of height this week. I will be doing the measurements shortly, but first I wanted to share some news! Queen Citronella has a new home, she hasn't moved in yet, but I'm working on it today. I will also be rearranging all the other grows and starting some new things off! I am not sure if I have mentioned it anywhere but I am using a 1.2m x 1.2.m x 1.8m tent.. I have just got a 60cm x 60cm x 140cm tent and a 300w LED. Her Majesty I hope will enjoy her new quarters. Day 36: I have lowered the light to 30cm above the tallest plants. Day 37: It is done! Queen Citronella resides in her own palace, while the rest of the plebs squat together in the communal living area. I have reorganised and moved my 4x4, mounting the carbon filter and duct fan properly in the center. Setup a 2 x 2 with a 300w LED and put the lights for both tents on the same timer (for now). I will measure and photograph Her Majesty a little later, including photos of her new home. Day 37: Added media. Height: 31cm. Fertigated 2l. Day 37.5: Alright she is really stretching fast, she grew almost 5cm in a little over 30 hours, A thought has just occurred to me; I could, if I chose to, put the Queen on a flower cycle at this point. Now I did want to do a full grow of clones, however we're talking something like another 2 weeks of veg then 2 weeks for cuttings to root, then I'd want to veg them for a few more weeks, maybe 2, 3 or 4? So that's 6-10 weeks before I start flowering. Then at least ten weeks of flowering, A week to dry, and at least a fortnight to cure. We're talking 20-25 weeks before I get to smoke it, that's six months! I probably wont be able to grow in the summer due to the heat. Now I already have the one cutting which I am hoping will root soon, which I can take forward, but I also have two more seeds. So, regretfully, I think I will change my plans. I will flower queen Citronella, starting on day 43. I still intend to do a full tent of Super Lemon Haze clones, but I think I will postpone that adventure until September. So this is now the final week or final five days of veg, she will spend the bulk of her last week of veg under a different light. We wont get much data on vegging (unless there is a significant change this week) but it'll be a nice trial run flowering with an LED light for the first time. Exciting! I am still waiting for the Epislon F1 seeds from RQS. I set their pot up today, inoculated, fed, and sowed some Dark Opal (Purple) Greek Basil and a liberal sprinkling of chamomile. I am going to germinate all five seeds in jiffy pellets and then put them all in the same 40l Day 38: I have realised Her Majesty was too tall to flower in this little tent so I snapped her neck a bit. I installed a photometer app yesterday and discovered I was blasting Citronella with 75 DLI so I raised to light up until canopy level was 40 DLI. The LED is pretty good. The HPS Dual Spectrum bulb in the main tent must be on its last legs as output was around 40 DLI for optimally positioned plants and 30 least optionally positioned. I could do to buy a new bulb. Identical replacement is about fifteen bucks, best one is about fifty. For that I could get another one of those LEDs which seems like better value. At the moment though I really need the heat. So I am thinking identical replacement. 4 days to flower cycle! Day 38.5: Replaced crappy old Dutch barn reflector with a much nicer angel wing model. Installed a significantly larger carbon filter into the main tent which has significantly increased air flow. The main tent vents into the bottom of Queen Citronella's tent, and from there and unfiltered duct fan in the far top corner exhausts it out. The exhaust pipe goes up the chimney. Why have I reorganised and moved the tents again so soon is because I was wasting power heating the little tent with the LED light, but the main tent has excess heat. Well this setup is working a treat. Citronella is sitting in a balmy 23-24 degree wind tunnel. Check out the little video of the changes. Day 39: I think her majesty likes her new quarters. It's going to be weird seeing her square in a few more days. We are 2 days into a "dry spell" I'm simulating for all my plants. Day 40: Dry spell ended. Fertigated 6l. Day 41: Fertigated 3l. Citronella's penultimate day of veg, she is going 12/12 from lights out after next. Photos taken 10:00 9/2/23. Current lights out is Citronella's last 6 hour night! Day 42: Start: Have performed pre-flower LST, HST, and defoliation. 24 hours to flower cycle. Day 42: End: photographed immediately before first 12h night. End of week summary: Huge week for Citronella. I think this LED light is pretty good. Change of plans regarding the grow and preparing her for flower. Let's see how she does.

🌿 Journal de Culture : Cherry Cola (Auto) ​Date : 06/04/2026 Âge : 74 jours Phase : Séchage (Plante #1) / Maturation finale (Plante #2) ​? Plante #1 (La Grande) : Le moment de vérité ​Chronologie : Mise dans le noir total le 4 avril pour stresser la plante et booster la résine, puis coupée et mise en séchage le 5 avril. ​Résultats à l'humide : 150 grammes (nettoyée). J'estime finir à environ 40 grammes sec. ​Mon avis honnête : Je ne vais pas mentir, je suis encore déçu par la Cherry Cola niveau production. C'est la deuxième fois que je la tente et le constat est le même : elle fait énormément de sites de têtes, mais elles ne prennent pas de masse, elles ne "gonflent" pas. ​Qualité vs Quantité : Le ratio temps passé / rendement n'est pas au rendez-vous. Par contre, la résine est là en abondance. C'est du givre pur, elle va sûrement mettre une sacrée claque. ​Arôme : Super agréable. Ce n'est pas une odeur agressive, c'est juste ce qu'il faut de sucré avec des notes de baies. C'est vraiment réussi sur ce point. ​Note provisoire : 7/10. J'attends le test de goût la semaine prochaine pour trancher définitivement. ​📏 Plante #2 (La Petite) : La relève ​Taille : 35 cm. ​Paramètres : Inchangés (24,5°C jour / 21°C nuit, 50% humidité, LED à 100%). ​Arrosage : 0,75 L d'eau aujourd'hui, juste pour rafraîchir la terre en surface et maintenir une légère humidité. ​Observations : Elle est magnifique visuellement. Les têtes ont l'air un peu plus gonflées que sur la première, et niveau résine, c'est encore un cran au-dessus de la n°1 (ce qui paraissait pourtant difficile !). Je reste réaliste : même si elle est superbe, elle ne fera pas de miracles sur le poids final. ​🔍 Analyse de l'Éleveur ​Structure des têtes : Sur les gros plans, on voit bien que les fleurs sont composées de calices très "aérés". C'est ce qui explique le manque de poids : il n'y a pas ce cœur dense qu'on trouve sur d'autres variétés. C'est une structure très "Sativa" dans l'âme malgré le côté compact de la plante. ​L'abondance de trichomes : Les photos montrent une plante qui semble avoir été saupoudrée de sucre glace. C'est exceptionnel pour des extractions, mais frustrant pour ceux qui cherchent de grosses "collas" bien lourdes. ​La sénescence finale : On voit bien sur les photos de la n°1 avant la coupe que les feuilles étaient arrivées au bout de leur vie (jaunissement propre). Le rinçage a été parfaitement exécuté. ​La n°2 et sa résine : Le fait qu'elle soit encore plus résineuse que la n°1 est bon signe pour la puissance. Elle profite bien de ses jours sous la Pure LED à 100%. 08/04 apport de 1 litres d'eau avec 0,4 ml pk 5-8 biotabs PH 6,3
