This was a very stressful week as there were too many variables at play all at once; even my camera refused to cooperate for the first few days. The freshly transferred plants were starting to droop and I was unsure if it was transplant shock, nutrient burn, or because of the incomplete grow tent. My first batch of nutrients were mixed into a gallon bottle and was weighed by a friend using his scale; this set was enough to last weeks. For this new batch however, I didn't have my scale and used the table spoon as my measuring tool; needless to say when my TDS meter finally arrived, both runoff and the remainder of the mixed nutrients read 2800. Fortunately my light setup seemed to be inefficient still and the plants weren't drawing much nutrients and only ended up with a very light burn on the older growth. All pots were flushed back to recommend levels and the light lowered until the lux values read appropriate. This week ends my daily comments and I'll stick to this end of the week format going forward.

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 💗 The Little Dwarf That I’m Very Glad I Kept Some plants make you stop because they're enormous. Some make you stop because they're covered in huge flowers. And then there are plants that make you stop because you simply can't believe how much personality they've managed to fit into such a tiny body. Pink Rosay Pheno B is one of those plants. She's still a dwarf. 😂 There is no point pretending otherwise. She's tiny. She's compact. She's becoming incredibly dense. And honestly... I absolutely love her. When I look back at the beginning of this grow, I have to admit something. If I had only been growing a few plants, I probably would never have given a phenotype like this the opportunity to finish. She's just too small. There would have been a temptation to look at her, compare her to the others, and think: "Maybe this one isn't worth the space." But that's exactly why I love having twelve different genetics in the 8×8 Adventure. I didn't remove her. I gave her time. And now? She's standing there covered in flowers and frost, looking absolutely adorable. And I'm very, very happy I kept her. 🌸 Week 9 – Still Tiny. Still Beautiful. Pink Rosay Pheno B is currently around 63 cm. Sixty-three. 😂💗 Compared with some of the giants in this garden, she's practically a bonsai. But here's the funny thing. When I look at her now, I don't really see the height anymore. I see the plant. And the plant is beautiful. Her structure is extremely compact, the internodes are tightly packed, and the flowers are becoming increasingly dense throughout that little framework. She's not wasting much space. She's not reaching endlessly upward. She's simply putting everything she has into the structure she already built. And that's becoming her signature. Tiny frame. Dense flowers. Big personality. 💗 The Dwarf Is Getting Dense This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week. She's becoming really dense. The flowers are no longer looking like little isolated flowering sites scattered across a miniature plant. They're becoming proper little clusters. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are progressing. And the resin is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. There's a lovely contrast developing between the dark green foliage and the increasingly frosty flowers. And honestly... she looks fantastic. Not fantastic for a dwarf. Just fantastic. That's an important distinction. Because I don't want to judge her by the expectations I'd have for a much larger plant. I'm judging her for what she is. And what she is becoming is a beautiful, compact, heavily flowering little plant. ❄️ The Frost Is Starting to Take Over And this is where things get particularly interesting. The frost is becoming much more obvious. The flowers have that increasingly sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and look again. Then closer again. And then... "Okay, I need the macro lens." 😂📸 The resin is becoming part of her personality now. It's no longer something you have to search for. You can see it. And I have a feeling she's going to become even more interesting as she continues toward maturity. I wouldn't be surprised if, toward the end, she becomes one of those little plants where the amount of frost makes you completely forget how small she actually is. She's certainly heading in that direction. 🌿 A Tiny Plant With Serious Density One thing I really appreciate about this phenotype is how compressed everything is. On a large plant, you can have flowers separated by considerable distances. Here? Everything is happening within a very small space. Branches are short. Nodes are close. Flowers are packed into the architecture. And now those flowers are gaining density. It's almost like watching a miniature version of a full flowering plant. Everything is there. Just... smaller. 😂 And that's what makes photographing her so much fun. A wide photograph tells you the story: "Look how tiny she is." Then you get the camera close. And suddenly... "Holy shit, look at those flowers." That's Pink Rosay Pheno B. ✂️ The Canopy – Now We Let Her Be We already gave this little lady her selective defoliation when the canopy needed opening. The objective was never to strip her. It was to remove unnecessary congestion and give the remaining structure a little more room for light and airflow. Now? I'm leaving her alone. She's doing exactly what I want her to do. The remaining foliage is healthy. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming denser. And there is no reason to start interfering just because we have scissors available. 😂 This is another lesson this tiny plant has taught me. Sometimes cultivation is intervention. Sometimes cultivation is restraint. And right now, restraint wins. Let her finish. 💡 Small Canopy, Big Photon Story The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system remains part of the overall flowering environment. With a plant this compact, the relationship between light and structure is fascinating. There isn't a huge vertical distance between the different parts of the plant. Instead, everything is compressed into this little flowering package. And as the flowers become denser, I'm very interested to see how she finishes under the same environmental philosophy as the much larger plants surrounding her. She's another reminder that light doesn't dictate phenotype. It gives the plant an opportunity. The genetics decide what happens with that opportunity. And Pink Rosay Pheno B decided: "I'm going to stay tiny." 😂 Fair enough. I respect the commitment. 🌱 The Experiment Is Working Exactly As Intended This little plant is one of the best examples of why I wanted to run this 8×8 Adventure the way I did. If I had selected plants purely based on early size, she probably wouldn't have made the cut. And I would have missed this. I would have missed watching an extreme compact phenotype develop. I would have missed seeing how much flower she can actually carry inside that miniature architecture. And most importantly... I would have missed the lesson. Not every plant needs to be a monster. Not every phenotype needs to produce enormous numbers. Sometimes the value of a plant is simply in what it teaches you. And this little girl has already taught me plenty. 💗 The Sister Comparison Is Fascinating Her sister is a completely different story. Same genetic line. Same room. Same general cultivation philosophy. And yet... look at them. One is compact. The other is larger. One has a very compressed architecture. The other expresses herself differently. One looks almost miniature. The other carries herself like a more conventional flowering plant. And that's exactly what phenotype hunting is about. You don't grow two sisters to make them identical. You grow them to discover how different they can become. Pink Rosay Pheno B has certainly answered that question. Very different. And I'm glad she did. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current conditions remain stable: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: approximately 63 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1 L per plant / 24h The feeding program remains centered around the same flowering nutrition approach used throughout the project. No unnecessary changes. No chasing numbers. She's developing beautifully, so consistency remains the priority. 🌬️ Tiny Doesn't Mean Forgotten One of the things I really enjoy about hand-watering this plant is that she gets exactly the same attention as the giants. She may be tiny. But she's still part of the experiment. Every time I approach her, I get to look at the flowers. Check the foliage. Watch the resin. Look for changes. And because she's so compact, it's actually incredibly easy to observe her closely. There aren't hundreds of centimetres of plant to inspect. Everything is right there. She's basically saying: "Come on. You can't miss me." 😂💗 And I don't. 🔭 Looking Ahead – I Have a Feeling About This One I'm not expecting a huge producer. Let's be realistic. She's 63 cm. She's a dwarf phenotype. Her total flowering structure is naturally limited by the amount of plant she has. But that's not what I'm watching anymore. I'm watching quality. I'm watching density. I'm watching resin development. I'm watching how those flowers mature. And I'm very curious to see where she ends up. Because she has already exceeded what I expected from her. She survived. She flowered. She developed. She became dense. And now she's getting increasingly frosty. That's already a win. And who knows... perhaps by the end of this journey, she will become an even more interesting little specimen than I expected. 💗 Maybe I Should Have Kept More Dwarfs This is something I've been thinking about. If this had been a smaller garden, I probably wouldn't have grown a phenotype like this. And that's exactly why having a larger project is so valuable. You get to see the extremes. You get to see the weird ones. The tall ones. The short ones. The explosive ones. The quiet ones. The strange ones. The beautiful ones. And sometimes... the tiny ones. Pink Rosay Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category. She's not here to win the height competition. She's not here to dominate the tent. She's here to show us what happens when her genetics decide: "We're going small." And honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. ❤️ Final Thoughts – The Little Dwarf I Almost Didn't Keep I think this might be my favourite part of Pink Rosay Pheno B's story. Not how big she is. Not how much she might produce. Not whether she can compete with her sister. It's the fact that she almost wouldn't have had this opportunity. If I had fewer plants, I might have looked at her and decided she wasn't worth the space. But because this is the 8×8 Adventure... she stayed. And now? I'm really glad she did. Because this little dwarf has become one of the plants I genuinely enjoy looking at. She's cute as fuck. 😂💗 She's tiny. She's compact. She's becoming extremely dense. She's getting frostier. She's beautifully structured. And she's completely comfortable being exactly what she is. I don't need her to become a giant. I don't need her to suddenly explode in size. I don't need her to prove anything. I just want to see her finish. And I have a feeling that when she does, whatever she gives us is going to be very, very nice. Perhaps later, when everything is finished and the entire garden has told its story, we'll decide what makes the most sense for this little harvest. But that's a story for another day. Right now... she's still growing. Still shining. Still getting frostier. Still being the tiniest girl in the room. And still making me smile every time I look at her. 🌸💗❄️ Pink Rosay Pheno B. The little dwarf. The tiny survivor. The compact beauty. The one I almost didn't keep... and the one I'm now very happy I did. So let's give her the spotlight. Because she has absolutely earned it. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the project, TrolMaster for the environmental control, and of course to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype doesn't have to be enormous. Every plant doesn't have to be a champion. Sometimes the smallest plant in the room gives you one of the biggest lessons. And sometimes... the little dwarf becomes one of your favourites. This one certainly became one of mine. Until next week... Tiny plant. Huge personality. Getting seriously frosty. 💗❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 4: Growth Spurts and New Challenges Continued Growth and Health As we move into the fourth week, the plants are showing impressive growth. Their leaves are a lush, vibrant green, and the stems are becoming stronger. The transition to the larger 11-liter fabric pots has clearly paid off, providing the roots with ample space and better aeration. Adjusting Nutrient Levels Given their positive response to the nutrients, I decided to continue with 2/3 of Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding schedule, adjusting slightly to meet their increasing demands. Here's the updated feeding plan for this week: CalMag: 2.5 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.50 mS/cm) Grow: 1.5 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 0.5 ml/l EC: 1.2 mS/cm (600 ppm PPM-500/TDS) pH: 6.0 Each plant is watered with approximately 20% runoff to ensure there's no nutrient buildup in the coco mix. I will maintain this nutrient level until the pre-flowering stage to avoid the risk of nutrient burn due to over-fertilization. Weather Improvements and Adjustments The weather has been steadily improving, with temperatures expected to rise to around 25°C starting Wednesday, accompanied by abundant sunshine. This upcoming forecast is excellent news for my plants, as I anticipate a final growth spurt before flowering begins. Every centimeter of growth counts at this stage, and I'm optimistic about maximizing their potential under these favorable conditions. Strengthening with Wind Exposure On days with good weather, I move the plants out of the greenhouse to expose them to natural wind. This practice helps strengthen their stems, improving overall stability. Additionally, the wind creates a more challenging environment for pests, helping to keep them at bay. Smart Watering Strategy I only water the plants when the pots feel noticeably lighter. This encourages the roots to search for water, promoting the development of a stronger and more extensive root system. This method helps ensure the plants remain healthy and resilient. Pest Management: Observations and Actions At the beginning of the third week, I noticed dark discolorations on the undersides of some leaves. A few days later, these spots turned into yellow patches. I am still unsure about the cause of these spots. To prevent a potential insect infestation, I sprayed all the leaf surfaces, both top and bottom, with a mildly dosed neem oil mixture. Since then, the spots have not spread further. Because these discolorations are only affecting the lower leaves, they are not causing me significant concern at the moment. Regular inspections and preventive measures are crucial to maintaining the health of the plants and ensuring that any issues are caught early. Decision Against LST At first I have decided against using LST. But some of your comments made me try some LST on two of my plants. I choose Tangie and Gorilla cookies to try out and learn some stuff. Blue dream and Banana purple punch stay without any training. Thanks guys for your advice 👍 Monitoring and Care My daily routine involves checking the plants every morning and evening. This includes: Monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. Inspecting the plants for any signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies. Growth Observations The plants are responding well to the controlled environment and balanced nutrition. They are growing rapidly, with new leaves appearing almost daily. The stems are thickening, and the overall structure of the plants is robust and healthy. Looking Ahead As we head into week 4, I am optimistic about the continued growth and health of my plants. The combination of a stable environment, appropriate nutrient levels, and diligent care is proving successful. I’m excited to see how they progress and adapt as they move closer to the flowering stage. Seeking Feedback and Tips Your feedback and tips are valuable to me!

This was the best smelling girl out of the crew. Happy with that. The size of the buds are good considering the plant size and total time of the plant. Will dry for 10-14 days then cure for a month before trying them out.

love this strain big feeder and loved the super soil. I would run these again if i had the Chace goo yield for an auto flower. had 2 different pheno types one vert sativa the others Indica heavy.

Das frühzeitige umtopfen in die finalen töpfe haben die pflanzen gut überstanden und stehen jetzt in ihrer neuen grossen growbox .

Hello everyone.Update from 6.6 2026. All the plants have been blooming for a few days now. Two out of three lemons have purple buds and they bloom faster than gorillas. Measure: Lemon Cherry Cookies from 92cm to 105cm, Strawberry Gorilla from 94cm to 119cm.

Well I must be doing things right, for an auto this girl is doing really well. I’m still learning but will be growing more Bruce Banner. I’d soon rather have sativa but takes so much longer to grow. She takes all the nutrients I give and drinking more water this week, had to top her up a few times. PH is 6.4 TDS is right around 1000 Temp is 20c Humidity is 60-70

Fast Buds StarDawg auto Day 32 from sprout viparspectra xs2000 dialed in at 75% watering every other day to every two days Well this girl is in that pre flowering stretch! I love that she is finally taking off and reaching a taller size. I added half a tablespoon of down to earth 4-4-4 to 3 cups of happy frog soil to top dress during watering. Hopefully that gives her a small boost and doesnt cause any nutrient burn like i ran into my last grow. see you all next week! happy growing!

Week 2 *****DIVINE SEEDS ***** *****FRACTAL***** Sponsored grow Week 2 Germination April 6. Week 1 water only Week 2 water only This week 14-20 consisted of plain ph 6.6-6.9 water only. I gave a capful in the morning and evening. Transplanted to final 5 gallon air pot using fox farm amended soil. At 2 weeks, they have a good root structure established. Pics on 14, 16,18 &20 Until the plants are big enough to go outside, I will be using my AC Infinity tent and equipment. Once outside, I will be watering with well water and recharge and any additional fertilizers or amendments will be determined at that time. Thank You @DivineSeeds for the opportunity to grow and try what looks like a winner on all profiles. Thanks for the likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending love and light 💫 💫Natrona 💫 FRACTAL Fractal is an especially psychedelic strain that Divine Seeds developed for esoteric and mystical experiences, meditation and creativity. A potent and vivid landrace variety from Southern India was crossed with a sticky leaning Indica (mostly Afghani), then Skunk #1 joined this company. Their progeny underwent multiple selection experiments, until its massive built, resin concentration and hypnotizing powers reached an ultimate level. The result is now known as Fractal – resinous, spicy and productive. Best choice for commercial growing: a compromise between bigger yields and fast ripening! A great source of hashish that has something incense-like to its musky smell. Indoors expect 170 сm height, out of doors plants grow up to 200 сm. Fractal fits for all types of growing environment: grow boxes, hydroponic or aeroponic setups, outdoor plantations, balconies, terraces and green houses. For more weight it is recommended to train Fractal plants to broaden their structure and limit their vertical growth. For that purpose use ScroG or SoG, LST, FIM or topping, supercropping or mainlining – there are no limitations for the strain itself, but certainly low-stress methods are recommended to smaller samples. Fractal has an inherent immunity to molds and insect pests, but since its colas are thick, protect your plants from stale air. Also during rainy weeks your plantation may need to be covered. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October. Big and dense buds the color of olive, hunter green heavily coated with crystals. Whole Fractal buds smell hashy and earthy, while cedar and fruity hints are noticeable on breaking. Measure your portion carefully: the potency is above average! With Fractal you experience an overall stoning that either keeps you put or slows your motion down, also vertigo is possible. However, in moderate dosage the impact is described as a pleasant sensation of well-being and placidity. Perfect for spending a night by a bonfire without talking, therefore is more often enjoyed as a solo smoke. Efficiently relieves muscle spasms and seizures, inflammations, combats insomnia and increases your appetite. Up to 3 hours of altered state of mind can be expected. Best consumed at night time.

Flush week

Week 8 of flowering, Biscotti mints 2 looks more close to the end than Biscotti mints 1. Both very frosty, smelling really good. It’s been 1 week since I flushed them 😍 Looking at the trichomes they are close to the stage I like(around 20-30% amber) so I will harvest them.. probably 1 more week. Overall really happy with what I am seeing 🤩 can’t wait to smoke it 🤪

welcome everyone to my Strawberry Tent GrowOFF I will be showcaseing 6 diffrent starberry autoflowers from 6 diffrent breeders, we will see what ones win the superfichal awards of: Best In Tent, Best Smell, Best Buds, Best Yeild, Best Taste, Best Form and Best High. 6 plants and 7 awards, I have a feeling some of the strains may take 2 or 3 of the awards and a few of them may not make it to fruition. The tests will be blind and then matched to a key at the end to find out who is who to avoid as much bias as I can given that I some of my firends will be the sole judges for most of these catagories. + [Best In Tent] = Over all best plant in the tent. + [Best Smell] = The best smelling plant based of my sences fresh & cured will be raited + [Best Buds] = The best looking buds visually, colour, density and frost will be raited + [Best Yeild] = The heavyist yeilder of them all, total grams/OZ will be raited + [Best Taste] = The tastyist tasteing buds, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. + [Best Form] = The best growth pattern and form out of the plants, nothing to strechy or compact. + [Best High] = The best feeling buds from getting stoned, peronsal prefrence based on the gunipigs I outsouce to smoke/vape the buds. I would like to extend a big thank you for all the sponsors of this grow. From Lighting to Nutrients to the Seeds themselfs. #1 Medic Grow LED Lights, I will be useing 2x 240w MiniSun2's dimmed to aorund 60-80% at peak flower. https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow #2 Metrop Nutrients, They have sent me a starter pack that I will use to grow these ladies out. https://metrop.net/ https://metrop.store/products/startbox #3 all the brands who donated to the cause, in no pictular order: Exotic Seeds, Pure Instinto, Seedsman, Original Sensible Seeds, Fastbuds & *Barneys farm* **indacate the seed was gifted to me from another grower and the breeder did not choose to partiscapte in this growOFF but are part of it anyway. https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/strawberry-cola-auto https://pureinstinto.com/product/strawberry-shortcake-autoflower-cannabis-seeds/ https://www.seedsman.com/us-en/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-feminised-seeds-sman-strchcake-auto-fem https://originalsensible.com/original-sensible-seeds-strawberry-pie-auto~22096 https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/strawberry-pie-auto https://www.barneysfarm.com/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 I will be growing these in a coir/perlite medium with liquid hydrophonic nutrients. The pot size will be 2 Gal each for 12Gal total medium in a 2x4 tent under a potentinla maxium of 480W via the 2x Medic Grow Mini Sun 2's LED Lights. Germination methyod will be the same, soaking seeds in water then into the final pots medium. They will be getting a 18/6 light scheulde from start to finish and a PH of between 6.2-6.5 for the entire grow. I will be useing some root incolulents to help the plants form a strong and healty realnship with the medium. From what I can tell this should go smoothly without many issues. I have a few good friedns on here who only grow in hydro so if I run into any issues I am going to hit them up and learn some new things. Good Luck to all the brands competeing. I will host a question poll to see who thinks what one will susceed the most. and Maybe open it to eveyone to help rate the best looking buds catgory. One thing to note is I am mixing all my nutrients into a massive pail that is about 2Gal and I mix it till it hits a desired EC point, so the measurements of ml/l is a bit of a guesstimate. I know its in the ruff ball park area of what I added but it could be off by a bit. m0use

Soo this week has been “fine” . Humidity is under control finally , the humidifiers seemingly have gotten the environment in check . I noticed “it works more efficiently” if I leave a small amount of water in the reservoir as opposed to how long it takes humidity to drop after watering with the reservoir bone dry after emptying . I see that the top dress food still isn’t reaching the girls yet there’s more progressive lower leaf yellowing . I thought it’s take no more than a week for the waterings to render the amendments effective. Seeing this I’ll surely give the girls their pre flowering feed much sooner . I’m planning for 4 weeks so that by week 6(WISHFUL THINKING) the food will be accessible to the girls . Vertical growth this week has been decent , I was worrying quietly on the inside that I’d end up with nuggets on the lateral branches I’ve worked so hard to grow & constantly train. I want to see 12 in long dense solid resinous continuous colas on these girls . Anyways I think that’s it, another week on the GreeneScene in the books 📚.

Red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) are highly beneficial. They are considered an ideal choice for "no-till" or container-based organic growing because they live in the upper layers of soil, feeding on organic mulch rather than the plant's root system. Red wigglers accelerate the breakdown of organic amendments and produce high-quality, nutrient-dense worm castings directly in the root zone. Clover is another exceptional component of an organic rhizosphere, offering a sustainable, self-sustaining alternative to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers produced via the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. By forming a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobia bacteria, clover converts atmospheric nitrogen N2 into ammonium NH4, providing a steady, slow-release nutrient source that enhances soil health and reduces environmental impacts. Red clover offers superior nitrogen fixation and biomass production compared to white or yellow clover, making it the premier choice for maximum soil vitality, particularly for improving soil structure and providing a high-volume nitrogen credit for subsequent crops.
