13hrs 33 mins daylight as of 8/27 when I took these pics and video Euphoria is doing just fine, as I say in the video and repeat myself several times with other phrases, so I apologize but I honestly couldn't think of much else to say. I may have had issues with Euphoria early on, but it seemed like once I got her in the ground she just flourished and has been drama-free since (knock on wood). She's just doing fantastic🙌 Otherwise, the days are cooling off, the relentless humidity we've had for the past few weeks is moving out and I am very much looking forward to September. Those cool crisp nights, the colors starting to change, the flowers plumping up with crystalline trichomes and the smell... Oh the smell! I do love harvest season!

First day ! Everything is good ! Smell like bubble gum (Malabar)!!! That’s amazing !! Add 1ml/L of power buds @plagron and we’ll see how it works on it !!

WEEK 12-18 of May: Only few buds remaining for the blooming phase and only one for the left one, I'm curious to see the outcome. The final count of buds should be around 12 buds.

This week we started to give her only water. Very few new pistils are showing and mostly cloudy trichomes. We are in the final stretch now - thinking 4 to 7 days.

Comienza la semana del 3 al 9 de noviembre. Se le hace poda de bajos nuevamente el 2 de noviembre

Aficionados French connection. La fais don pour que j’essaie la Spanish blue elephant planter tardivement au mois de juin elle va pas tarder à passer en flo

Hello:) New week, new problems:) this time it‘s the two plants in the back. Both drink less water than the two in the front, I suspect overwatering but I don‘t really know. The tropical cookies on the right has some light yellowing on the leaves, apparently potassium deficiency but due to the roots not taking it up, not actual deficiency in the soil. All just a chatgpt theory though so I took that with a grain of salt. It could also just be the start of normal fade since we‘re in week 7 now and I think they will be done in about 2 weeks… Let‘s see, they are fattening up nicely though, looking more frosty every day. Especially the buds of the chocolate sherbet in the back left are becoming fat fast:)

🌸 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! 🌱💚

Der Stretch geht langsam so richtig los! Sie machen Meter und sind happy :) Am Samstag wurde lollipopping betrieben.

Habe sie diese woche in ein scrog netz eingeflochten, sie kommen sehr schön

I'm impressed best looking auto I've ever grown,dens,frosty and big colas 🍀🤩 Wait for it to dry slowly and update the smoking and dry weight report

Day 36: I bend the branches even more, cut off the top leaf that covered 2 buds, one of them is very small, I hope to give it at least a little chance to grow. This is a victim of a broken branch.

Germinamos uma única semente e ela brotou em poucas horas e em 3 dias já tinha um enorme e forte raiz

semana de riego y nada más. me encanta cultivar en esta época del año. Cierto que el coste de luz es mayor al tener los calefactores pero me ahorro los tratamientos y el trabajo que suponen los bichos, araña trips mosca etc etc .Este cultivo solo me lleva una de solabiol como preventivo que fue en crecimiento. de lujo.

Transplanted and fed nutes

Les plantes ont toutes arrêter de grandir et on voit bien la différence de taille entre la haze et les runtz. J'ai quelques problèmes avec Noman, les pointes des feuilles sont marron, je pense que c'est dû à suralimentation donc je vais les laisser au repos de nutriments pour voir si ça continue. Mais à part ça tous va bien, j'ai de plus en plus hâte de la goûter et d'en faire pousser encore pleins d'autres

All set for another shed grow now the temps a dropping. This is another tin shed grow and they certainly have there challenges. I thought I would waterproof my shed, unfortunately I sealed the outside not realising that run off channels run down the panel, I effectively stopped all drainage and due to a shipload of rain the last few days it's wet inside. Lucky I have my tent raised. A problem that will certainly need to be fixed prior to flowering, for now I'll just make sure I'm wearing my gumboots.
