eighth week veg, the ladies were fine i defoleated them again before i sent them into flower

Den Ladys geht es soweit gut und es geht nun deutlich Richtung Herbst. Die Ladys wurden nun 1 Woche mit einer schwächeren Nährstoff Lösung gegossen. Bis zur Ernte werde ich nun nur noch mit pH angepassten Wasser gießen. Stand heute (07.06) habe ich ca. 30% milchige trichome, der Rest ist noch klar. Da ich eher auf Sedierung stehe, werde ich sie noch ca. 10 Tage stehen lassen denke ich, mal sehen.

Muito feliz com a evolução e a coloração que elas estão ganhando. O cheiro está muito forte, doce e cítrico

CLONE PICS

📆 Semana 9 Los cogollos llegan al final del ciclo completamente desarrollados, con una gran densidad, dureza y una producción de resina muy elevada. Los cálices terminan de hincharse y las flores alcanzan su máxima compactación y peso, mientras los pistilos se encuentran mayoritariamente oscuros y retraídos. Los aromas alcanzan una intensidad máxima y el perfil terpénico se muestra completamente definido, mientras el fade avanza de forma natural y la planta concentra sus últimos recursos en completar la maduración de las flores. Esta última semana estuvo marcada por la evacuación, dificultando el mantenimiento de la rutina habitual de cultivo. A pesar de ello, la planta consiguió completar el ciclo y llegar a cosecha con un resultado muy satisfactorio. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Suivre les conseils semaine 1. Une fois que les plantes ont colonisées le pot de 1L, les rempoter dans des pots de 3L (qu'on va arroser avec 3L). Cela doit prendre 4 à 7 jours en moyenne. Surveiller l'aspect des plantes, les pointes des feuilles. Observer le haut et le bas. La couleur de la plante doit être uniforme entre chaque partie sinon c'est qu'elle a un manque ou un excès. Le plus souvent étant donné les engrais complet que nous utilisons il s'agit d'un excès. Dans ce cas il suffira simplement de faire un arrosage à l'eau au lieu de l'engrais et de reprendre les engrais à plus faible dose. Les tiges sont un bonne indicateur de la santé des plantes, hors génétique spécifique, elles doivent être verte et tendre, pas dur. On continue la FIM et la taille de certaines feuilles qui peuvent être gênante.

A really hot week last week, The lamp doesn’t make it any easier but steady at 28 degrees now. OG auto in its final days I think, leaves are starting to turn yellow so I’ve started a flush, it’s a beautiful plant, 80% of the plant is covered in bud, I’ll post some good pics before harvest. Not gonna be a crazy yield but for the size of the plant really decent. The feminized OG are all exploding with bud sites, amazing how fast it’s going the smell is getting better by the day Gorillas are cute! Flowering a little slower but a lot bushier and the leaves are sooooo pretty! Started to give more water and upping the dosage of nutes since I’ve not seen any signs of over feeding might as well try it out Okloveyoubye ❤️

First week of flower

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia — Week 8 | The Slowest Girl in the Room Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, then by now you've probably realized something about this girl. She doesn't like rushing. While the other ladies in the room have already moved much further into flowering, Passion Fruitz continues to play the same card she's been playing for weeks: "I'm a very slow-growing plant." 😄 And honestly... I have to admit it. She's a slow plant. But she's a beautiful slow plant. 🌱 Still Playing the Slow Card All of these plants are the same age. They were all started under the same 12/12-from-seed concept. They're sharing the same room, the same environmental conditions, the same lighting strategy, and the same general feeding approach. Yet Passion Fruitz has decided that she's going to write her own timetable. Compared with the rest of the room, she is clearly delayed. Her transition into flowering has been considerably slower, and even now, the development of her flowers is progressing at a very measured pace. But what's fascinating is that she doesn't look like a plant that's struggling. Quite the opposite. She's green. She's vigorous. She's structurally strong. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply taking her sweet time deciding exactly when she's ready to commit to flowering. And that makes her one of the most interesting phenotypes in this entire project. 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Weak Standing at approximately 72 cm, Passion Fruitz isn't the tallest plant in the room. But she's built herself into a remarkably dense and compact bush. Her stems have become thick and strong, her side branches are well developed, and the amount of healthy foliage she's carrying is impressive. Looking at her structure now, I keep thinking about what this plant might have looked like if she had been given several weeks of conventional vegetative growth before being placed under 12/12. She clearly has the ability to build. She simply chose to spend a very long time building herself before deciding to flower. And now we're finally beginning to see the consequences of that decision. ✂️ Time to Clean House This week I decided to give her a little bit of a challenge. Since Passion Fruitz isn't particularly large and flowering development is still moving slowly, I decided it was time to remove some of that excess vegetation underneath. I gave her a proper defoliation and lollipop, cleaning away lower foliage and branches that I don't want competing with the upper part of the plant. The objective wasn't to strip her down just for the sake of stripping her down. It was about directing the plant's resources toward the areas that matter most from here forward. With a relatively compact plant like this, I want her energy and structure concentrated toward the upper canopy rather than maintaining a large amount of lower growth that may have limited value later. And after the cleanup... Wow. She looks clean. 🌱 A New Shape Emerging The transformation is particularly obvious when looking underneath the canopy. The lower stem and branch structure is now much easier to see. The main stem is thick and healthy, with strong lateral branches coming away from it. Removing the lower vegetation has also opened the plant considerably, allowing much better visibility through the structure. From above, she's still incredibly leafy and full of life. But underneath, we've created a much cleaner framework. Now we wait. I'm very curious to see what she decides to do with that newly opened structure. Will she finally begin accelerating her flowering? Will the upper branches develop into stronger flower sites? Or will she simply look at me and say: "Nope. I'm still taking my time." 😂 Knowing Passion Fruitz... I wouldn't bet against option three. 💚 The Colour Says Everything One of the things I absolutely love about this phenotype is her colour. She remains incredibly lush and green. The new growth is vibrant, the mature leaves are healthy, and there is a beautiful contrast between the darker established foliage and the bright green emerging growth. The macro photographs really show this beautifully. The fresh growth almost looks luminous against the darker leaves surrounding it. For a plant that has spent so much time outside the flowering timeline of the rest of the room, she certainly hasn't been sitting around doing nothing. She's been building. And she's built herself a very impressive little machine. 💡 12/12 From Seed — The Experiment Continues This is exactly why I enjoy running the entire project under 12/12 from seed. If every phenotype behaved identically, there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. Instead, we're seeing just how differently plants can interpret exactly the same environment. Some transition quickly. Some stretch aggressively. Some remain compact. And then there's Passion Fruitz... She looked at the 12/12 schedule and apparently decided: "I'll get there when I get there." 😂🍑 That genetic variation is one of the most valuable parts of this entire adventure. The goal isn't to force every plant into the same shape or timeline. It's to observe what each phenotype naturally wants to become. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson impossible to miss. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week I'm continuing with the Plagron flowering nutrition strategy. The current mix is: 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, used for pH adjustment when required The measured solution was around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a pH of approximately 6.0. I'm keeping the strategy consistent rather than trying to force flowering by dramatically changing the nutrition. She's already shown us that her timeline is genetic. There's no point trying to bully her into flowering. We'll give her what she needs... And let Passion Fruitz decide when she's ready. 💡 Light & Environment The environment remains stable and consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. Current conditions: 🌡️ 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: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The consistency of the environment remains particularly important in this phenotype hunt. Because when everyone receives essentially the same conditions but one plant behaves completely differently... that's when genetics starts telling the story. 🌿 Under-Canopy Lighting The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting also remains part of this experiment. Passion Fruitz is particularly interesting here because she has maintained such a large amount of lower vegetation for so long. Now that we've cleaned the lower section, we'll have an even better opportunity to observe how the remaining branches respond to that additional light. I'm especially curious about the relationship between her upper canopy and the newly exposed lower structure. This is another one of those variables that may become much more interesting as flowering finally progresses. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of Passion Fruitz so far. The full-plant images show just how dense this girl has become despite her relatively modest height. The overhead photographs reveal an incredibly broad canopy. The macro images show the beautiful contrast between mature leaves and the fresh, vibrant new growth. And then there are the stem photographs. Those are particularly satisfying. Once the lower foliage was removed, you can really appreciate the structure she has been quietly building underneath all that green. Thick main stem. Strong branches. Healthy nodes. A very solid framework. She's small... But she's definitely not fragile. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now comes the interesting part. We've cleaned her up. We've removed the lower growth that was no longer contributing to the structure we want. We've opened the plant. And we've left the upper canopy with the majority of the healthy growth. Now we wait to see what she does. I'm hoping that as flowering continues to develop, we'll start seeing more obvious flower formation throughout the upper canopy and a little more momentum from this famously slow phenotype. But I'm also realistic. I've learned by now that Passion Fruitz doesn't care what I expect. She has her own schedule. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm going to watch her. Document her. And let her show us what she can do. Because sometimes the phenotype that takes the longest to reveal herself ends up being the one you remember the most. 💚 Thank You Another week, another lesson from the 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz continues to remind me that growing isn't about making every plant behave the same way. It's about understanding that every phenotype has its own personality. Some sprint. Some stretch. Some explode into flower. And some... take their sweet time. 🍑😄 A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing such an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn, share, and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics that made this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment throughout the grow. ✨ Lumiflora — for providing the under-canopy lighting and giving us another variable to explore throughout this experiment. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment, question, message, and bit of support makes this adventure even more enjoyable. Passion Fruitz may still be behind the rest of the room... But she's healthy. She's beautiful. She's building. And she's finally starting to show us where this story might be going. Slowly. Very, very slowly. 😂🍑 But that's okay. Because in the 8×8 Adventure, we're not here to rush the genetics. We're here to let them speak. See you next week for another chapter of Passion Fruitz. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything. Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers. Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;))) Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven. Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks. Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;))) Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever. Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ? Happy Growing !

Its my first grow and i think i see some Brown Trichomes. Can you guys help me too say if she is Ready or not? I have no Idea and will Not Harvest too early.

Hola a todos mis amigos. Este diario llego a su fin, pero pronto comenzare otro, de esta misma cepa, pero para exterior, quiero probar. Que tal se comportan afuera🙌🙌🤩🤩💪💪

Day 77 - I have spread the branches even more to create better airflow and now I'm happy how she looks and the buds getting fat and frosty. She will be a frosty beast 😁

Week Harvest My journey of Runtz Automatic and her entrance in the Eternity Grow Cup 2025 began on January 7 when she popped her head above the soil. Runtz was an easy carefree plant to grow with no incidents of pests or disease. A few defoliations were all that was necessary to keep her in check. I kept her under a light schedule of 18/6 to maximize her light exposure. After topping her she grew only 24 inches tall. This small plant structure is suitable for growers with limited space. She was harvested on March 20, day 74 from germination. As part of the flushing process, I topped the pot with ice, then watered with ph 6.5-6.7 water for 3 days. Then I put Runtz Auto in the dark for 2 days still in her pot. March 20, she got the chop, Wet weight 314g and is hanging dry in a darkened room. As she dries, candy, sweet, fruity smells escape the room. Temps are 71-72and 43-48% humidity. I am sure she is as tasty as she smells and will not disappoint in effects. My sincere thanks to Patricia @Zamnesia for her support and encouragement throughout this grow. Big thanks and sincere appreciation to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this fun and exciting contest. Everyone entering the contest started with the same strain in either a feminized auto or photoperiod seed. Zamnesia generously provided 5 seeds to everyone and Plagron provided the Green Sensation flowering additive. During this contest I enjoyed visiting many contestants’ diaries and seeing beautiful gardens. Many, like me, are limited in space or number of plants they can grow but all are displaying fine specimens. Some Runtz phenotypes are very sativa dominant, with long thin leaf fingers, while others lean more indica. What will be most interesting will be the smoke reports on effects. My theory is that the more sativa leaning in structure, the more active, energetic and euphoric that plant will be and the indica leaning specimens will be more relaxing and uplifting. Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Obwohl alle drei exact der selbe Strain sind, kann man hier mal wieder sehr schön sehen, wie unterschiedlich sie dennoch wachsen können. Trotz selber Bedingungen und Parameter, wie Dünger, Licht, Temperatur, RLF usw... Nur eine wurde ein einziges Mal getoppt, das ist der einzige Unterschied. Aber auch da kann man sehr schön vergleichen, wie unterschiedlich sich das auf die Pflanzen und den Wachstum auswirkt. Im Normalfall hätte ich sie noch ein wenig mehr an Größe zulegen lassen, aber es muss voran gehen. Deshalb hab ich sie jetzt nach vollen 8 Wochen Vegi auf 12-12 umgestellt und sie endlich in den Stretch geschickt. Mal sehen, was sie hhier noch an Größe und Umfang drauf packen...

The grow was a complete success

Flower Week 7 Day 49 to 55 - 5/6 to 5/12 They both look very healthy this week. The calyx are swelling with maturing hairs, the pistols are orange, the trichomes are mostly white, and the leaves are fading/changing colors - still not ripe enough for me, but flushing with half nute feeds now. Feed this week was another auto pot reservoir flush feed at 400ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm of Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). And then, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0). PH balance this week was for 5.8 where I plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week will continue the same half nute feed. I will continue to monitor the signs of trichomes, pistols, and calyx for a better harvest and allow the buds to mature more.
