Today is day 23 of flower. So I've been chasing a minor P-K deficiency. The plants are happy and healthy and are just feeding heavy at the moment. Well over and above any recommended servings with respect to the dry amendments and water soluble P-K inputs. As with any grow regardless of what you're using for inputs (organic amendments/salt based bottle feeding/crop salts/etc....) the recommended feed rates are never anything more than a baseline. So to remedy the deficiency I added the Flower 2 at 1.5 times the reccomended dosage (3 grams per liter of water) and a little over twice the dosage of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom dry amendments (250ml per 7 gallon pot). I also fed a mung bean/barley seed sprout tea as well as a compost tea (2/3 of a cup of each seed). The feed rates will stay well above recommended servings for the Flower 2 but the 250ml addition of the 2-8-4 would be considered a large addition for a single serving so I will give the plants 5-7 days to see how they react to dry amendments before top amending again at any rate (you cant burn your plants with organic inputs but you can still suffer nutrient lockout so you need to be mindful and patient when feeding heavy.) On day 19 of flower I did a large pruning/defoliation/lollipopping of the plants. Both from the top of the pot to the bottom of the first layer of trellis removing everything. I also cleaned the plants out from above the first layer of trellis netting to the top of the plant. As I waited to clean up the bottom third of the plants until my typical strip day in flower (day 18-21 depending on strain and flowering times, these are 9 week strains which is why the strip falls in the day 18-21 range, if they were 8 week finishers the leaf strip would take place somewhere between days 14-16). When running multiple layers of trellis netting it's best to prune/lollipop everything below the first layer of netting about 7-10 days before the flip. Odds are your lights wont penetrate that far down the plant so these areas of the plant typically only produce what's commonly known as larf. I'm running new lights so I decided I'd wait until the big strip I always do in flower. This was grower error. I know better and wont make this mistake again. Its unnecessary stress added during flower that could've been prevented. As I decided to wait to clean out the bottoms I didnt prune the plants as aggressively as I normally would (I adopted Grand Master Levels leaf strip practices years ago, check him out on IG or YouTube if you want to see what that looks like). The week went smoothly with no major issues to report. The seasons are changing here so were getting rain, damp wet snow, and have very humid conditions outside. As a result this affects the atmosphere in my grow room but not enough to cause concern. A little less than 6 weeks until the chop!

This week we started 12/12 cycle. I decided to do this because of the limited height of the box. Now I am focusing on the fact that it will stretch out in 2X. If she becomes taller, it will be a problem for me and her. Fertilizers: Throughout the vegetation cycle, I added silica to each watering. Now I will alternate 1 watering with silica and another without. I also increased the dosage of plagron "B" to increase the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium. There is a lot of calcium in my water, so there shouldn't be a deficiency. Thank you for attention🙏 Peace🙌

This will be my 1st auto run. Other than one time I was sent some free f1 autos from rqs and I started some but I ended up tossing them for some reason or another. I am actually super excited to try out fastbuds. I have been wanting to try out fastbuds for over a year now. I'm not the greatest with seedlings so I am doing a test run with a 2x2 tent I'm gonna try and grow the best plant I get out if the 3 seeds hopefully it doesn't out grow my small 2x2 tent . Pound cake thou looks like a killer strain with some fat buds can't wait to see how fast fast buds really are. Here we go.

Update weights when she is done. Its all about the cube, 6 sides in a cube, each side 360x6=2160. Cube of Saturn, governs the bowels. The phase angle within the vibrating ring of water molecules is 60 degrees (360 divided by 6). If there were 7 molecules in the ring, the phase angle would be 360/7 or 51.43 degrees. This is the principal phase angle of quartz. Most of the internal angles of water and quartz are either fractions of this angle or multiples of it. The number 25,920 is relevant in the context of astronomical phenomena, specifically the Earth's axial precession, a cycle that takes about 25,920 years to complete as the Earth's axis "wobbles," causing the Earth to shift its orientation relative to the stars. 25920/12signs of zodiac =2160 Unlike the standard tuning of 440 Hz, which is used in most music today, 432 Hz is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe. It is often referred to as the “frequency of the universe” or the “miracle tone.” (4+3+2 = 9) 2160x2=4320 432 * 432 = 186,624 The actual speed of light is not exactly 186624, but (depending on the source) 299792458 meters/s. = 186282.397 miles/s. That is about 341.603 miles per second off. If you would use that number instead to calculate the square root, you get: √186282.397 = 431,60444506515453634375 (432) 2160x3=6480 Dodecahedron Of the fifth Platonic solid, the dodecahedron, Plato obscurely remarked, "...the god used [it] for arranging the constellations on the whole heaven". In traditional symbolism, the dodecahedron was the form that best represented the manifestation of God in Nature. For Plato it symbolised “Cosmic Harmony”. It is a three-dimensional representation of the symmetry of the pentagon and the “Golden Ratio”, that occurs naturally throughout the natural world. Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnōsis, f.). “A cat has 9 lives” “On cloud 9” “Dressed to the nines” To go “the whole nine yards” “A stitch in time saves nine” “Nine-ness” seems to be synonymous with the maximum, with the furthest extent of what’s possible. With fullness, completion, and when every effort has been exhausted. In the ancient world (which is, let’s face it, is where numbers and their spiritual power were understood SO much more than they are today) the number 9 resonated with sacred structure and the furthest limitations of this world before human experience meets the Divine. Perhaps more than any other, the number nine had an extra special significance, which spread far and wide. It features across pretty much all cultures, worldwide, rippling through culture, mythology, history, law and time. Nine is the central number in the ancient Celtic tradition. Nine expresses through the triple Goddess (see Number 3) and in myths of the nine Celtic maidens or sorceresses. In fact, stories of nine mystical women presiding over nature spread from England, Ireland and Wales to Scandinavia, Iceland, and even as far as Kenya. Even today, it’s tradition for nine groups of nine men to dance around Beltane fires. The limit of winter (which is what Beltane Almost all of the mythological tales from around the world have patterns of the number 9 weaving throughout. The Northern European sagas tell of Odin, who rules over the nine Norse worlds. His trial to win the secrets of wisdom for mankind was to hang on the Yggdrasil tree for nine days. Demeter, the Greek Goddess of the Earth searched for nine days for her daughter Persephone (who was in the underworld with Hades). Demeter is often depicted holding nine pieces of corn. Once recovered, Persephone was obliged to spend three months per year below the ground, and nine months above. Native American, Mayan and Aztec myths tell of a total of nine cosmic levels (and many of the temples comprise 9 stories). And in ancient China, nine was the most auspicious number of divine power: the Chinese had nine sacred rites, nine social laws, nine classes of officials in the government and built nine-story pagodas. In astrology, the planet Mars vibrates to the frequency of the nine. The ninth sign of the Zodiac is Sagittarius (where the Sun sails from November 22nd – December 21st) InTarot, card number nine is the Hermit. In Hinduism, nine is the number of Brahma. In the Greek Sagas, the city of Troy was under siege for nine years. 25920/360=72 years average human lifespan gets 1 degree of arc of axial procession in their lifetime. Father Time is a clock, 25920 cycles long, an electromagnetic recording device. Reloaded into the sound/light matrix. Every 2160 years, the luminaries that give all life will shift; the clock moves clockwise (east). Everything I say is just for shits and giggles :)

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot 😫) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! 😍

Week 11 and the buds are getting bigger. The tent still has a softer smell to it, not overwhelming at all. The buds are growing but still look like they need to plump. Tons of white hairs and frost developing. I’m still feeding nuts since it looks like it has some time still.

17 Febuary Flowering is well underway, with vigorous pistil development. The plants don't show any major deficiencies, and I'm pleased to see that my soil is stable! I'm no longer adding fertilizer at this stage; I simply water, adding BioEnhancer once every two weeks. The microbes and organic matter in the soil do the rest. 💪

I topped both plants once thus far, cleared their lower nodes up to the 3rd node on "nemo" and 4th on "v" names are easier then saying seed 1 and seed 4. added pics and video of day 34/35 for these two. hope y'all can stand the slight off hue from grow light. pics/vids are taken on phone camera thru grow room glasses, when watered the 3 gal pots are heavy and not easy to yank out for a picture.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 9 ✨ The Elegant Survivor Keeps Shining Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! There are plants that surprise you. There are plants that become bigger than expected. And then there are plants that simply keep getting better every time you look at them. Candy Rain is becoming exactly that plant. 🍬💚 When this adventure started, she was the survivor. The one remaining plant from her seed pack after I made a mistake that cost her sister the opportunity to join the experiment. At first, I was simply happy that Candy Rain had made it. Then she started growing. And growing. And developing. And flowering. And somewhere along the way, the little survivor stopped looking like a plant that had merely survived... and started looking like a plant that belongs in the spotlight. Week 9 now. And honestly? I'm loving everything about her. The colour. The leaves. The structure. The flowers. The calyxes. Those beautiful fresh white pistils. The balance. The way she carries herself. She's just... beautiful. And this week, I didn't need to do anything special. No defoliation. No big intervention. No attempt to reshape her. We're simply letting Candy Rain be Candy Rain. And she's doing a damn good job of it. 🍬✨ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure – Let Genetics Speak For anyone joining the diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is built around a simple idea: Give different genetics and phenotypes the same opportunity... and then watch what they do with it. The plants share the same room. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. The same environmental strategy. The same general nutrition. The same irrigation system. The same lighting ecosystem. The same grower. But the plants don't become identical. That's the whole point. The environment provides the stage. Genetics write the performance. And Candy Rain has certainly developed her own character. 🍬 From Survivor to Something Special I still find it funny looking back at where this girl started. She wasn't supposed to become one of the plants I would be watching this closely. She simply survived. And now I'm looking at her at Week 9 thinking: "Where the hell are you going?" 😂💚 Because she continues to impress me. She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not the biggest. She's not trying to dominate everything around her. Instead, she has developed something I appreciate enormously: balance. Her structure is controlled. Her branches carry flowering sites beautifully. Her foliage remains healthy and functional. And the plant has that wonderful combination of strength and elegance. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels chaotic. She simply looks... right. 🌿 A Beautifully Balanced Plant This week, one of the things I appreciate most is the overall balance of Candy Rain. She's still carrying plenty of healthy foliage, but the canopy doesn't feel unnecessarily crowded. The branches have enough separation to allow us to see the developing flowers. The leaves are beautifully formed. And the entire plant has maintained that fresh, vibrant green that first caught my attention. There is something particularly satisfying about looking at a plant where everything seems to be working together. Leaves supporting flowers. Branches supporting structure. Flowering sites developing along the architecture. Nothing screaming for attention. Nothing demanding correction. Just steady development. And that's exactly why... there was no defoliation this week. ✂️ No Defoliation – Just Let Her Be Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant is nothing. And that's where Candy Rain is right now. I'm not going to remove healthy leaves just because we're at Week 9. I'm not going to create gaps simply because the calendar says it's time for a cleanup. I'm looking at the plant. I'm looking at the canopy. I'm looking at the flowers. And I'm asking: Does she actually need me to interfere? This week, my answer is: No. She's balanced. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's maintaining good structure. So we're leaving her alone. We're letting her keep the leaves she's chosen to keep. We're letting her maintain the architecture she's built. We're letting her be what she is. And honestly... I think that's beautiful. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Beautiful The flowering sites are now much more established. What started as tiny clusters of pistils has become unmistakable developing flowers. And the photographs this week really capture the details I love about Candy Rain. The calyxes are becoming increasingly pronounced. The fresh white hairs are still beautifully visible, reaching outward from the developing flowers. The flower structures are gaining definition. And the whole plant seems to be moving deeper into that stage where every week brings another visible change. This is one of my favourite moments in a grow. You're past the initial excitement of seeing the first pistils... but you're not yet at the final destination. You're somewhere in between. The flowers are telling you: "Wait. We're not finished yet." And I'm listening. ? Those White Hairs... I have to say it. I absolutely love the pistils on this plant. There is something incredibly elegant about those fresh white hairs emerging from the calyxes. They give the flowers that almost delicate appearance. And when you look closely at the photographs, you can see how much detail is already developing. This is where macro photography becomes particularly rewarding. You can look at the plant from a distance and think: "Beautiful flowers." Then you get closer... and suddenly you're looking at an entire microscopic landscape. Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Early resin development. Textures. Patterns. It's one of the reasons I never get tired of photographing these plants. There's always another detail hiding there. 🍃 And Those Leaves... The leaves deserve their own little moment too. Because I genuinely love the foliage on this girl. They're beautifully formed. Healthy. Strong. And incredibly photogenic. The leaf structure adds so much to the overall appearance of the plant. And when you place those leaves around the developing flowers, the contrast between the green foliage and the lighter flowering structures makes the whole plant incredibly attractive. She's not just producing flowers. She's producing them inside a beautiful architecture. And that's something I really appreciate. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the room. The Future of Grow Black Series LED provides the primary overhead illumination, while Lumiflora contributes additional under-canopy lighting. Candy Rain's open and elegant structure makes her particularly interesting to observe under this combination. Her flowering sites are distributed through different levels of the plant, giving us another opportunity to watch how the different parts of the canopy develop as flowering progresses. But I'm deliberately avoiding making big claims before harvest. The plants will tell us. The photographs will tell us. And eventually... the finished flowers will tell us. For now, we're simply watching. And enjoying the process. 💧 Feeding the Survivor Candy Rain continues on the same flowering nutrition strategy used throughout the project. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current recorded solution strength is approximately 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. Watering is currently approximately 1.25 L per plant per 24 hours. And visually? She's happy. That's the most important part. The plant continues developing without giving me any reason to dramatically change direction. So once again... we stay the course. 🌡️ Week 9 Conditions Current conditions for this update: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 90 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.25 L per plant / 24h The environment remains consistent. And consistency is particularly valuable when we're trying to understand phenotype expression. The room stays relatively predictable. The plants remain unpredictable. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so much fun. 📸 This Week's Gallery I really like this week's gallery because it doesn't need any dramatic story attached to it. The photographs speak for themselves. You see the beautiful green leaves. You see the clean structure. You see the flowering sites distributed along the branches. Then you get closer... and suddenly the calyxes become the stars. The white pistils. The developing flower structures. The subtle beginnings of resin. The textures. The tiny details. Everything is telling the same story: Candy Rain is developing beautifully. And perhaps my favourite part is that she isn't doing anything complicated. She's not demanding a special intervention. She's not asking me to reshape her. She's simply growing. And I'm letting her. 🍬 The Elegant Survivor Has Become the Elegant Grower There's something poetic about this plant's story. She started this project because she was the one that remained. I made a mistake. Her sister didn't get the opportunity. Candy Rain did. And instead of simply surviving... she took that opportunity and turned it into something beautiful. Week after week, she developed. She stretched. She flowered. She built structure. And now she's standing here at Week 9 looking like she was always meant to be part of this adventure. That's something growing teaches you again and again. You don't always know which plant will capture your attention. Sometimes it's the biggest. Sometimes it's the weirdest. Sometimes it's the one with the most unusual phenotype. And sometimes... it's simply the one that quietly keeps getting better. Candy Rain is that girl for me. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now I'm genuinely curious. Where does she go from here? The structure is already beautiful. The flowers are clearly established. The calyxes are developing. The pistils remain fresh and abundant. And the plant is still carrying itself with that wonderfully balanced appearance. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to start removing things simply because I think I should. I'm going to watch. I'm going to photograph. I'm going to document. And I'm going to let her tell me when she's ready for the next chapter. Maybe she'll surprise me again. Wouldn't be the first time. 😄 ✨ Let Candy Rain Shine There are plants you train. There are plants you guide. There are plants you have to constantly manage. And then there are plants where you eventually realize: "You know what? I've done enough. Now show me what you can do." That's Candy Rain. This week, no defoliation. No unnecessary intervention. No attempt to change her. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's beautiful. She's flowering. And she's doing exactly what I want her to do. So now... let her be. Let those leaves work. Let those calyxes develop. Let those beautiful white pistils continue appearing. Let those flowers build. Let the plant follow her own rhythm. Because sometimes the most beautiful thing a grower can do... is simply step back and watch. And Candy Rain? She's giving me a damn good show. 🍬💚✨ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 9. The little survivor is no longer just surviving. She's thriving. She's become one of those plants I genuinely enjoy photographing because every angle gives me something different. The green. The leaves. The structure. The flowers. The calyxes. The white hairs. The balance. There's so much to appreciate here. And I don't know yet exactly where she's going. That's the exciting part. Maybe she'll bulk dramatically. Maybe she'll continue developing slowly and elegantly. Maybe she'll surprise me with something completely unexpected. Whatever happens... I'm here to watch it. Because Candy Rain has already taught me something important: Never underestimate the survivor. 🍬✨ She was the one who remained. Now she's the one making me stop and look. And this week, she doesn't need a haircut. She doesn't need a redesign. She doesn't need to become anything else. She just needs to be Candy Rain. And honestly? That's more than enough. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure, commenting, asking questions, sharing experiences and coming back every week to watch these plants develop. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics that gave us this beautiful survivor. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the flowering nutrition throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the lighting driving this room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another variable to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every week adds another little piece to the story. And Candy Rain? She keeps writing hers beautifully. The survivor. The elegant one. The beautifully balanced one. The girl with the gorgeous calyxes and those beautiful white hairs. And now... the girl I'm simply going to let shine. 🍬✨💚 Growers Love! 💚🌱

Willkommen zum Ende der 7 Blütewoche mit der Orange Sherbet FF von 420FastBuds. Wir sind am Ende der siebten Blütewoche angekommen. Anfang der Woche haben Sie ein letztes mal die volle Dosis Nährstoffe bekommen. Heute am Ende der siebten Blütewoche geht's los die Ladys nur noch bis zum Ende der Blüte mit Leitungswasser zu gießen. Das Leitungswasser lass ich wie immer abstehen bis zum nächsten Gießen. Das Leitungswasser wird bis zum Ende angepasst auf einen PH Wert von 5.8. Die Orange Sherbet FF duftet einfach nur hervorragend und hat mega dicke Fette frostige Buds die wirklich gestützt werden müssen weil sie sonst den Boden küssen. So meine Growmies, Danke fürs vorbei schauen und sag einfach mal bis zur nächsten Woche. Falls ihr Lust bekommen hab auf die Nährstoffe die ich nutze ,schaut gerne bei Hesi vorbei 💛👊💛 https://hesi.nl/de 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 Much Love GrowWihtFlow 🍀 👊 🍀

Flowering week 5. I diluted slightly ec down with ro water.
