The plant was harvested on day 67 of flower and is now hanging up to dry. I've got the drying environment set at around 58-60% humidity with a temperature range of 15-19°C. Hoping for a nice slow dry to preserve those terps! 👃💨 Will update once it's ready for the next step. Stay tuned! 🚀

Everything on the readings seem well. Plant two seems to be having some kinda nutrition issue. I'm not sure what it is on the first set it leaves. Plant one is seeming to be super strong, healthy, and green. Gonna just keep watching the water levels and ph and keep on trucking.

New leaves still discolored but growing apparently correctly. Possible reasons: - genetics (?) - heavy fertilized soil - Batmix from Plagron was used (?)

Week 3 – Growth Explosion & Big Move! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened the AC Infinity propagation tent after coming back from Munich — these girls exploded in size! Even without much water, they kept pushing. I’m starting to think the trick with Sonnenerde is keeping moisture on the lower side. Being away for 5 days, though, had its downsides — a few plants stretched into the SANlight Flex and got some light burn on their leaves. Still, they’re looking like some of the juiciest, darkest green plants I’ve ever seen. Papayton is still slightly ahead, but a few Lemon Cherry Runtz are catching up fast. Despite being kept in small pots under relatively low light (this setup is more for clones/seedlings than veg), they developed super tight internodal spacing — perfect for future training! I just repotted them into 7L pots with a solid layer of expanded clay pebbles and some Japanese bonsai substrate (clay-based) to help them stand above the moisture in the Autopot tray. The rest is filled with Dope Soil by Florganics, so now they’re rocking two awesome living soils in one pot. They’ve officially graduated to the 120x90 (4x3) Homebox under two SANlight EVO 4-120s. For now, they’ll be top-fed for about 10 days until the roots hit the bottom — can’t wait to see how the drainage system works out. Let the real show begin! 🌱🔥💚

Hi guys welcome back to peaky gardens my dutch girls are doing well .. one above all had the dominance in the room growing exponentially the sisters are already starting with flowering and this thing worries me that she is still growing in vegetation 🧐

Hello everyone, gardening brothers. It is always a pleasure for us to share our experiences with you. I'm going to go to a stage where this bitch drinks like a camel. 🐫 impressive! ...sucks 15/18 Litres of water every three days and has developed a huge root system over there really remarkable! for me who come from years of soil this is a whole other story.... another game... unparalleled in my opinion (if you can keep everything in line) Best greetings. Freedom 420

Getting ready to leave for the holidays. She will be on auto feed for 7 days. Hopefully 2.5 gallons gets her through! 12/20 - spread her out abit to add more light down below and allow more air flow. She is looking awesome 12/21 - water only feeding 6.3ph 12/22 - she's all set for 7 days of auto watering with 2.5 gallons of nutrient mixed water at 6.3ph. Pump in the reservoir mixing things around for me. 12/23 - and it's off on its own auto watering 5 mins per day!! Let's see how this goes... 12/24 - merry Xmas eve!!

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 Small Frame. Big Flowers. An Absolute Beauty. Some plants need space to become impressive. Pink Rosay doesn't. Standing at approximately 111 cm, she remains one of the most compact plants in the entire 8×8 Adventure. But somehow, when you look at her, she doesn't feel small. She feels complete. Dense. Elegant. Full. Every centimetre of her structure seems occupied by flowers, leaves and developing potential. She's one of those plants that reminds me that size and presence are two completely different things. And Pink Rosay has presence. This week, she also joined the group receiving a selective flowering defoliation. Again, not because there was anything wrong. Not because she was struggling. And not because I believe every plant needs to be stripped at a particular point in flower. She was actually looking fantastic. But she's a little more advanced than some of the plants around her, and when I looked closely at her structure, I felt that opening her up would benefit both her and the room. So we made some space. And now we're going to watch what she does with it. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Compact Doesn't Mean Small Pink Rosay has always had her own way of doing things. She never chased the ceiling. She never tried to become the biggest plant in the tent. Instead, she's packed an incredible amount of flowering structure into a remarkably compact frame. At approximately 111 cm, she's still relatively short for this room. But look closer. The branches are carrying substantial flowering sites. The flowers are stacking. The calyxes are beginning to swell. The pistils remain beautifully bright. And the resin continues becoming more apparent. This is where I think the word "compact" can sometimes be misleading. She's compact in height. She certainly isn't compact in personality. And she definitely isn't compact in what she's building. There's a lot happening inside this little plant. ✂️ Defoliation – Making Space, Not Removing Beauty This week I decided to selectively defoliate Pink Rosay. And I want to explain the reasoning because defoliation is one of those subjects where growers can have very different approaches. For me, this wasn't about looking at the plant and thinking: "There are too many leaves." Healthy leaves are valuable. They're photosynthetic machinery, and I don't remove them simply because they're large or because I want the plant to look cleaner. Instead, I look at the relationship between the leaves, flowers, light and airflow. Pink Rosay has become quite dense. Her compact structure means that a lot of foliage and flowering sites are occupying a relatively small vertical space. As flowering progresses, that density can create areas where leaves overlap heavily, airflow becomes less direct and light has difficulty travelling deeper into the canopy. So this time, I selectively removed foliage that was contributing to unnecessary congestion. Not everything. Not aggressively. Just enough to open the architecture. 💡 Let The Photons Travel One of the reasons I like selective defoliation at this stage is that we're not necessarily trying to make every flower receive direct light. That's not the objective. We're trying to improve the distribution of the available light through the canopy. The Future of Grow Black Series is already delivering around 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. There are plenty of photons available. The question becomes: How efficiently can the plant's architecture use them? When several large leaves overlap one another, some of that light is intercepted before it can reach deeper areas. By selectively removing leaves from congested sections, we can allow more light to penetrate into the canopy and reach leaves and flowering sites that were previously more heavily shaded. We're not creating more light. We're simply changing the path it takes through the plant. And with Pink Rosay being such a compact and dense phenotype, that can be particularly interesting. 🌬️ And Then There's Airflow Light isn't the only reason for opening a dense canopy. Air needs space too. As the plant becomes more compact and the flowers continue developing, airflow through the interior becomes increasingly important. Removing selected leaves creates little channels through the plant where air can move more freely. That helps reduce stagnant pockets inside dense foliage and makes the entire canopy easier to manage as flowering progresses. Again, this isn't about removing leaves because leaves are bad. It's about managing density. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant isn't giving her something. It's simply getting out of the way of what she's already doing. 🌿 A Plant With Serious Density And this is probably what impresses me most about Pink Rosay right now. She is dense. Not just in foliage. The flowering structure itself is becoming increasingly substantial. The individual flowers are beginning to look less like isolated flowering sites and more like components of developing colas. The calyxes are swelling. The pistils are still predominantly white. And the resin continues building across the flowers and sugar leaves. She's entering that beautiful transition where you can start seeing the architecture of the eventual harvest forming in front of you. I don't want to call it "bulking" just yet. I prefer thinking of it as stacking, swelling and building flower mass. But whatever word we choose... She's definitely building. And she's doing it beautifully. ❄️ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Personality The resin production continues to impress me. Looking closely at the flowers, there's already a visible layer of trichomes developing across the calyxes and surrounding sugar leaves. And this is still only Week 5 of flowering. The bright white pistils make everything even more dramatic. Against the deep green foliage, those flowers almost look illuminated from within. It's one of those combinations that makes photography incredibly rewarding. Dark green. Bright white pistils. Developing frost. And flowers that become more substantial every time I look at them. Pink Rosay is definitely starting to look like she knows exactly where she's going. 🌱 Why I Didn't Defoliate Everything This is important. After a defoliation, it's easy to look at a plant and think: "Why didn't you remove this leaf too?" Because more isn't necessarily better. I want Pink Rosay to retain enough healthy foliage to continue powering photosynthesis and supporting flower development. The objective was never to expose every flower. It was to improve the relationship between: foliage → flowers → light → airflow. Some leaves are still doing excellent work. Some flowers are still perfectly positioned beneath them. And some shading is completely natural. A plant doesn't need to look like a perfectly arranged artificial canopy. She's alive. She's dynamic. And I'm much more interested in creating a healthy, functional environment than achieving a perfectly clean photograph. Although... I have to admit... She does look pretty damn good after the cleanup. 😍 💡 Lighting From Above & Below The primary lighting remains the Future of Grow Black Series LED, providing approximately 1,000 PPFD across the upper canopy. Below, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another dimension to the system. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like Pink Rosay. Her compact structure means that the lower portions of the plant are physically much closer to the upper canopy than they would be on a tall, stretched plant. At the same time, her density can create additional shading. The under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas another source of photons while the defoliation helps improve the movement of light through the plant from above. It's another experiment within the larger experiment. And, as always... Harvest will be the judge. 💧 Hand Watering – One Plant At A Time Pink Rosay continues receiving individual attention through hand watering. There's something especially useful about hand watering at this stage. Every time I approach the plant, I have an opportunity to look. To inspect the flowers. To check the leaves. To feel how the plant is progressing. To notice changes that might otherwise disappear into the background of an automated system. Current feeding remains: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current readings: pH — approximately 6.0 EC — approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature — 21°C Root-zone temperature — 21°C Watering — approximately 1.4 L per 24 hours No unnecessary changes. The plant is responding well. So we keep giving her consistency. 🌡️ Environment The environment continues providing the stability this garden has been built around. Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Root-zone temperature: 21°C Solution temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 529 ppm The room continues relying on natural CO₂ replenishment through ventilation rather than bottled supplementation. The important thing isn't chasing one individual number. It's the interaction between temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, root-zone conditions and light. When those pieces work together, the plant gets to concentrate on what she does best. Growing. 👀 Looking Ahead – Is Something Special Building Here? I'm becoming increasingly curious about Pink Rosay's final outcome. Not because I want to predict a number. Not because I want to call the harvest before she's finished. But because the structure is promising. She's compact. She's healthy. She's carrying a remarkable number of flowering sites for her size. She's producing resin. She's stacking flowers. And now we've opened the canopy slightly to give her more room to breathe and allow light to travel more effectively through her architecture. If she continues at this pace, I have a feeling she could surprise us at harvest. Sometimes the plants that look modest from a distance are the ones that make you raise your eyebrows when the final numbers come in. And Pink Rosay has exactly that feeling. ❤️ Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Pink Rosay Pheno A continues telling one of my favourite stories in this entire 8×8 Adventure. She reminds me that you don't need to be the tallest plant in the room to make an impression. You don't need to stretch toward the ceiling. You don't need to occupy the most space. Sometimes you can simply take your little corner... And make it extraordinary. This week, we gave her a little more room. A little more airflow. A little more opportunity for photons to move through her canopy. And now we're stepping back again. Because after making a cultivation decision, the most important thing is knowing when to stop touching the plant and let her respond. That's where the real lesson begins. Pink Rosay is compact. She is dense. She is elegant. She is increasingly frosty. And there is an enormous amount of flower packed into that small frame. I have a feeling this little lady may have something very interesting waiting for us at harvest. But for now... We're going to let her keep building. Keep stacking. Keep swelling. Keep shining. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a different story. Pink Rosay's story is becoming one of elegance, density and quiet strength. And I absolutely love where she's going. Until next week... Small frame. Big personality. Let her shine. 🌸✨ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Hello friends! Here’s the skinny on my grow “First Mainline Attempt!”. I’m going to split this up a bit so it’s easier to follow, this will be a long one :) ~ Progress Day 56 ~ There’s been a lot of growth happening since I got this new light from KINGLED, genuinely surprised. I could notice the difference within hours that my little ones where love’n the light! Compared to last week the difference is huge (to me). I was using a Bestva LED light for my grows up to this point. I read reviews and thought that would be the best light (Bestva) within my current budget. But my plants didn’t seem happy, or growing at an expected rate, I thought I was doing something wrong. Well long story short the KINGLED has made a impact on my plants, I can’t believe all I needed was more light. I will post the light specs below if you’re interested. Now i’m gonna jump right into this weeks growth. I’ll separate each plant below and provide details on height and structure. ~ Individual Progress Notes ~ [CBD Blueberry] Height: 6.0" Tops: 8 Notes: Smallest of the mothers, and she has a weird asymmetrical growth pattern, the nodes don’t match evenly, not sure what mutation this is. It could be that this strain doesn’t like being mainlined.. If this negatively impacts the overall yield and quality I will kill off this mother plant and clones. I have 2 more seeds to germ so it’s not a total loss. [Mazar] Height: 8.0" Tops: 8 Notes: This girl is responding the best to the mainline experiment, I’m excited to clone her off later. Nice symmetrical growth :) [White Widow] Height: 6.1" Tops: 8 Notes: I honestly thought she would be the runt, guess not! Though not the biggest she has the phatest leaves and thickest canopy. I can only wonder what the next few weeks will be like. Must clone! [Super Silver Haze] Height: 7.2" Tops: 8 Notes: Another that’s responding well to the treatment. I’d like to clone her of as well as soon as there is enough growth for me to collect samples. I’ve only had this strain once so I’m hoping this will be as good or better, who knows :) [Purple Urkle #1] Height: 8.0 Tops: 8 Notes: I lost the clone to this girl, I'll need a replacement(s) to test before I flower, more stretch than the others, hmm (both 1 & 2 need to be tested via clones) [Purple Urkle #2] Height: 9.0 Tops: 8 Notes: This girl is very stretchy and her clone is insane! Thickest stalk out of any of my girls? I don't know why but she is phat, love it. Check out my diary "A Few Clones" if you're interested in this possible monster of a plant :) ~ Concerns ~ My only real concern at this point is mite and insect control. This grow is in the garage so that’s not especially easy to avoid. Staying vigilant and nuke’n everything that moves (without harming my plants) is working so far. Those pesky mites and other fan favorite insects! I swear I’ll get my revenge >:( ~ Final Thoughts ~ Other than the local mite population making claims to my property, I’m very satisfied with this weeks progress. Installing the ducting and fans was the hardest chore I had to do, and now that’s taken care of. Before I finish up I want to apologize for not being as detailed and thorough these past few weeks. Now this is a bit personal but I’m willing to share it with ya’ll. My mother has stage 4 cancer, yeah… It hasn’t hit me like a train yet, but I’m still suffering. I’m trying to prepare myself in the event she doesn't make it through chemo and that’s a tough pill to swallow friends. Hopefully I can produce some cbd medicine for her to ease her pain, and help to improve her quality of life. I’m going to close this weeks update by saying thank you to all of you wonderful people, the support and comments make my day, I appreciate em all. Much love, Meus [Light Specs] Brand: KINGLED Series: King Plus Model: 3000 watt Replacement: 2000 watt Avg Power Draw: 615 watt Input Voltage(AC): 85-265 Volts Frequency: 50-60 Hz Lifespan: 50,000 hours Total LEDs: 300 Core Coverage Area at 24": 7.8' x 7.5' PAR at 18": 760 μmol/m2s Lumens: 23454.6 Weight: 15.8 lbs

Watered mid week to flush.

It's safe to say she was reacting well to LST so far. It's time to stop pinning down and let her grow vertically as now she is showing signs for pre-flower. I lowered the light's position a little and cranked the DLI value up to 30. Also, dropped down the humidity to 60%. From this week I will give her 2.5L of water.
