Day 69 - 15/11/19 Were finally here at harvest and im happy with the result :) i planned as much as i could and winged the rest :) I collected lots of small, early harvest buds and left them to dry. kept a small bit for bongs and put all the really sticky trim in the freezer! gonna make cannabutter with it next week :) I liked the strains i chose from RQS, they took every newbie mistake i threw at them :D ive learned so much and it shows in my other diaries :) Il update this harvest a couple of times through this last week to show the effects of drying and curing, other than that thanks to all for helping and check out my other diaries to see how ive progressed :) Update - 18/11/19 I dried the buds for a couple of days and wow they dry well :) smoked them in a bong and it got me over a rough few days. I didnt see the point in curing this as i only got a couple grams. and to even get a couple of grams off a plant that had such a bad transplant just shows how resistant they are. I loved this strain, the smell was funky and it was a joy to grow. Thank you RQS!

๐ŸŒฑ Week 1 Update: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco Journey ๐ŸŒฑ Hey Grow Fam! The Mentha de Croco sprouts are officially a week in, and theyโ€™re already showing off their unique personality, each one growing at its own pace. Theyโ€™re rocking some funky vibes and loving life inside the dome! Hereโ€™s a full update on their progress, care, and setup for Week 1. Living Environment: The Humidity Dome Setup The seedlings are living in a humidity dome, where weโ€™re keeping the relative humidity (RH) close to 100%. This level of RH mimics a tropical environment, creating the ideal conditions for delicate young plants that need extra hydration support as they begin to develop roots and leaves. Why High Humidity? โ€ข Encourages Strong Root Development: At nearly 100% RH, plants focus on root growth while pulling in moisture directly from the air, helping them establish themselves early on. โ€ข Protects from Stress: The high humidity reduces transpiration (water loss through leaves), which prevents drying and keeps seedlings hydrated. โ€ข Promotes Healthy Leaf Growth: With constant access to moisture, the leaves expand smoothly, giving each plant a strong start in the vegetative phase. Growth Status & Observations ๐ŸŒฑ These little mutants are showing some funky characteristics and growing at their own unique paceโ€”a perfect reminder that no two plants are the same! Each seedling has sprouted its initial set of leaves, and Iโ€™m seeing great promise in their vigor and resilience. Key Observations: โ€ข Color: The seedlings are a healthy green, with some displaying slight variances in shadeโ€”typical of unique genetics like Mentha de Croco. โ€ข Structure: Leaves are developing steadily, with short internodes (the space between sets of leaves) that hint at nice, compact growth patterns as they continue. โ€ข Energy: Each plant seems to be finding its rhythm, which is a beautiful thing to watch! Some are taking their time, while others are diving right into rapid growth. Nutrients & Supplements ๐Ÿ’ง For this first week, Iโ€™m keeping it light on nutrients, letting the seedlings draw what they need from the Root Riots and the remaining seed stores. However, Iโ€™ve continued using Aptus Hollandโ€™s Regulator and Startbooster, both at 1ml/L, to support foundational growth. Why These Nutrients? โ€ข Aptus Regulator: Adds silicon to fortify cell walls, giving the seedlings extra strength to handle environmental changes. Even under the dome, this helps build resilience. โ€ข Aptus Startbooster: Supplies essential microbes and root stimulators, setting up these little ones for explosive root growth once theyโ€™re ready to venture outside the dome. Lighting: FOG LED & Environmental Control ๐Ÿ’ก Iโ€™ve kept the Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED dimmed to around 200 PPFD to avoid overwhelming these tender seedlings with too much light. Theyโ€™re getting just enough energy to support healthy photosynthesis without stressing them in their early stages. Lighting Benefits at Low Intensity: โ€ข Prevents Stretching: With the lower PPFD, plants stay compact and focused on root and leaf development rather than reaching for the light. โ€ข Supports Early Photosynthesis: The FOG LEDโ€™s balanced spectrum provides all the wavelengths these seedlings need to kick off photosynthesis and grow with vitality. Controlled through the TrolMaster Tent X, the lighting schedule is consistent and stable. With this controller, I can manage humidity, lighting, and temperature settings all from one place, ensuring the environment stays perfect for these little ones. Reflection & Tips for Fellow Growers ๐Ÿ’ก Week 1 is about creating a stress-free environment for seedlings to adjust and establish themselves. Hereโ€™s a bit of wisdom for anyone embarking on a similar grow: ๐Ÿ’ง Humidity & Hydration: High humidity is a seedlingโ€™s best friend. Keep your dome or grow area humid for strong, happy plants. ๐Ÿ’ก Light Management: Keep lighting low to encourage compact growth and let those roots dig in. Adjust lighting gradually as they grow to avoid any shock. ๐ŸŒฑ Patience with Genetics: Each plant has its own rhythm, especially with unique genetics like these. Let them show you what theyโ€™re made of without pushing too fast. Shout Outs & Community Love ๐Ÿ’š Much love to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for the nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED, and TrolMaster for the environmental control. Big shout out to everyone following this journeyโ€”itโ€™s always a blast sharing with you all. Letโ€™s keep the positive energy flowing and watch these seedlings turn into something amazing together! Stay tuned for Week 2 updatesโ€”more growth, more funk, and more growersโ€™ love!

๐Ÿ‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia ๐Ÿข The Slow Girl Is Becoming Big Mamaโ€ฆ One White Hair At A Time! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ And guess what? SHE'S STILL TAKING HER TIME! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Seriously, girl... How much time do you need?! At this point, I think we need to stop measuring her progress in weeks and start measuring it in Passion Fruitz units. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘โณ Because while the rest of the room is moving toward the later chapters of the journey, this girl is still doing her own thing. And when I say she's behind the others... I mean she's WAY behind. The Blueberry Muffins are ahead of her. The other girls are ahead of her. Even some of the phenotypes that have been moving at a more relaxed pace are looking further along. And Passion Fruitz? She's standing there with those beautiful white hairs, developing flowers, gorgeous deep green foliage, and absolutely no intention of rushing for anybody. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š But here's the thing... She's beautiful. Her flower formation is becoming increasingly interesting. Those white pistils are everywhere. And although she's taking her sweet time, she's also becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. Our slow girl is gradually turning into a bit of a big mama herself! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ช So, no, we're not going to complain about her pace all week. Well... Maybe a little. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But we're going to appreciate what she's doing, document her progress, and give her the individual spotlight she deserves. Because this is the 8ร—8 Adventure. And every plant gets to tell her own story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿข WEEK 14 โ€” THE SLOWEST GIRL IN THE ROOM? I think Passion Fruitz has made her position pretty clear by now. She's not simply a little behind. She's taking a completely different route from most of the other girls. Even the Blueberry Muffin phenotypes are further along in their development. And when we look across the room, the contrast is becoming increasingly obvious. Some plants are showing much more advanced flower development. Some are changing colour. Some are approaching their final chapters. Passion Fruitz, meanwhile, is still producing those beautiful fresh white pistils and continuing to develop her floral structures. She's still working. She's still growing. She's still changing. But she's doing it at her own pace. And that's an important distinction. Slow progress is still progress. We're not going to pretend she's moving as quickly as the others. She's not. We're also not going to assume that her slower pace automatically means something is wrong. We look at the whole plant, the environment, the development, and the evidence in front of us. And right now, what catches my attention is that she's still building. She's not following the same timeline as her neighbours. And that's exactly why she's getting her own diary. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ LOOK AT THOSE WHITE HAIRS! Seriously... Let's appreciate those pistils for a moment. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ Look at all those beautiful white hairs! They're fresh-looking, prominent, and spreading throughout the developing flower structures. They give the flowers that lovely appearance of a plant that still has plenty of visible development ahead of her. And when you compare her with some of the other phenotypes in the room, the difference becomes even more interesting. While other plants are showing more advanced signs of maturation, Passion Fruitz is still displaying plenty of those white pistils. She's clearly not expressing the same stage of development as the girls that are further along. And honestly? That's fascinating to document. Because we're not simply looking at one plant in isolation. We're looking at twelve individual plants sharing the same general environment, and we're watching their differences become increasingly obvious. Passion Fruitz is giving us one of the clearest examples of a phenotype that refuses to follow the crowd. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's taking her time. She's producing those beautiful white hairs. And she's making us wait to see how her flowers continue to develop. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ THE BUD FORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL Now, let's talk about the flower formation itself. Because this is where Passion Fruitz deserves some serious appreciation. Despite her slow pace, the developing flowers are beautiful. The structure is becoming more noticeable. The individual flowering sites are taking shape. And those white pistils create a lovely contrast against her darker green foliage. When I look at the photographs, I don't just see a plant that's behind the others. I see a plant with her own expression, her own structure, and her own timeline. Would I love to see her further along? Of course! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But there's a difference between wishing a plant would move faster and appreciating what she's actually doing. And right now, I'm really enjoying her flower formation. She's building. She's developing. She's becoming more substantial. And she's doing all of this without suddenly transforming into one of the faster girls in the room. That's Passion Fruitz for you. Same room. Different story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ OUR SLOW GIRL IS BECOMING BIG MAMA! And here's another thing that's becoming increasingly noticeable. She's getting bigger! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘ Our slow girl is gradually becoming a more substantial plant. She's no longer just the little solo survivor quietly doing her thing in the corner. She's developing more presence. She's becoming a bigger girl, with a structure that's increasingly difficult to overlook. And I love that contrast. Because her size and her flowering progress aren't necessarily telling the same story. She's becoming a big mama in terms of her overall presence, but her flower development is still moving much more slowly than that of the other plants. And that's precisely the kind of detail we want to document. Plant size doesn't automatically tell us how mature the flowers are. A substantial plant can still be behind in floral development. A smaller plant can be further along. And in the 8ร—8, we're getting to observe those differences side by side. Passion Fruitz is giving us a beautiful example of that distinction. She's growing into her space. She's developing her structure. She's building flowers. But she's still taking her sweet time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama in the making! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME GIRL, SAME PERSONALITY One thing I really appreciate about Passion Fruitz is that she's remained remarkably consistent in one particular way. She does not care about our expectations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ We can look at the other plants. We can compare their progress. We can look at the calendar. We can think about how far along we believe she should be. And Passion Fruitz will simply continue doing whatever Passion Fruitz does. She's not trying to catch up with the Blueberry Muffins. She's not trying to imitate her neighbours. She's not trying to win a race. She's simply developing at her own pace. And although that makes her one of the more challenging plants to compare with the faster phenotypes, it also makes her a very interesting subject for this project. Because the whole point is to observe the differences, not to force every plant into the same timeline. So, girl... take your time. Just don't make us wait forever! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THAT BEAUTIFUL DEEP GREEN Another feature that continues to catch my eye is her foliage. That deep green creates a beautiful background for the fresh white pistils and developing flowers. The contrast is lovely. And when you look at the plant as a whole, she's becoming a more substantial presence in the room. The leaves, the branches, the flower sites, and the overall structure all contribute to her individual appearance. Of course, colour alone doesn't tell us everything about a plant's health or maturity. We need to consider the complete picture. But visually, Passion Fruitz remains one of those girls that makes me stop and look. She's not the fastest. She's not the furthest along. But she's beautiful. And I want to appreciate that without pretending she is at the same stage as the others. That's what honest documentation is about. We show what we see. We talk about what we notice. And we allow the next chapter to reveal itself. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” TWELVE PLANTS, TWELVE TIMELINES For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! We're following twelve individual plants and phenotypes sharing one room. They receive the same general environmental approach, the same lighting ecosystem, the same irrigation philosophy, and a shared nutritional programme. Yet they don't all respond in the same way. Some develop quickly. Some take longer. Some build substantial structures. Some remain compact. Some show more advanced floral development while others are still producing plenty of fresh pistils. And Passion Fruitz? She's making sure we understand that there is no universal timetable for every plant in this room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘โณ Even compared with the Blueberry Muffins, she's still noticeably behind in visible flower development. That contrast is exactly what makes the project interesting. We can observe the differences without assuming that every plant should be at the same stage simply because they share a room. The environment is shared. The genetic expression isn't identical. And the timeline isn't identical either. Twelve plants. Twelve individual stories. One very slow Passion Fruitz. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES Our upgraded lighting setup remains part of the 8ร—8 experiment. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this project included in the setup. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Our previous lighting reference was approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy Actual intensity varies across the canopy depending on plant height, position, and distance from the fixtures. And that's particularly interesting in a room like this. We're not lighting twelve identical plants arranged on a flat surface. We're lighting a three-dimensional garden with different heights, structures, and canopy positions. Passion Fruitz receives light within that shared environment, but she continues developing at her own pace. The lighting doesn't make every phenotype behave identically. And that's precisely why we want to observe what happens rather than assume we already know the answer. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. Having more lighting capability while controlling the output gives us another interesting part of the setup to document. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑโ˜€๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€” DIFFERENT RESPONSE This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire project. We provide a shared environment. The plants respond as individual plants. Some are further along in flowering. Some are still developing their flowers. Some change colour earlier. Some retain more of their green appearance. And Passion Fruitz is continuing to show us a slower progression, with plenty of beautiful white pistils and developing floral structures. We shouldn't assume that the lighting alone explains those differences. Plant development reflects several interacting factors, including genetics, environmental conditions, and the plant's stage of development. But by following these girls side by side, we can observe how differently they express themselves under the same general conditions. That's the experiment. And Passion Fruitz is giving us another reason to keep watching. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” OBSERVE, DOCUMENT, LEARN As with the other reports, we're also documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths interact with the plant's phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The timing, spectrum, intensity, and duration of light exposure can influence plant responses, but those effects depend on the specific conditions. That's why we're treating our red-light period as part of our lighting routine and something worth documenting, rather than automatically claiming that it improves flower development or accelerates maturity. Passion Fruitz is still moving slowly compared with the rest of the room. We're not going to attribute that difference to one lighting factor without evidence. The interesting thing is that we can document the shared conditions and compare the plants' different expressions over time. That's how we learn more. Not by promising magic results. Not by assuming every treatment works the same way for every plant. But by observing, recording, comparing, and staying honest about what we know. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” A LITTLE LIGHT SCIENCE While we're discussing lighting, let's revisit the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect is an established phenomenon in photosynthesis where combining certain red and far-red wavelengths can produce a greater-than-expected photosynthetic response under suitable experimental conditions. It involves cooperation between the two major photosystems involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Their light-absorption characteristics differ, and under certain conditions, supplying suitable wavelengths together can improve the balance between their activity. It's a fascinating example of how plants respond to light in more complex ways than simply receiving more or less illumination. However, we need to distinguish the established science from what we're actually testing in our room. The Emerson effect doesn't mean that every red-light treatment produces the same response. Red and far-red wavelengths aren't interchangeable, and the result depends on the specific spectrum, intensity, timing, and conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is part of the routine we're documenting. We're not claiming that it automatically reproduces the Emerson effect or guarantees faster development, denser flowers, or increased yield. Those conclusions would require suitable measurements and controlled comparisons. The science is fascinating. The experiment is worth documenting. And the honest approach is to keep those two things separate until we have evidence connecting them. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€” KEEPING THE APPROACH CONSISTENT The last recorded room nutrition reference was: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous recorded solution readings were approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” 6.04 โšก EC โ€” 2.05 mS/cm These are the previous room reference values, not newly verified measurements for this specific update. The overall approach remains consistent with the rest of the project: observe the plants, maintain the shared growing environment, and avoid making assumptions about individual progress based on the calendar alone. Passion Fruitz is still producing those beautiful white pistils and developing her flowers. She's also becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. But she's clearly progressing at a different pace from many of her neighbours. So we're documenting that difference rather than pretending all twelve plants are at the same stage. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The last recorded shared room reference was: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Main lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series LEDs ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L These are the previous shared room readings for context, rather than a claim that every measurement was repeated this week. Same general room. Same lighting ecosystem. Same shared environmental approach. And a very different developmental timeline from some of the other girls. That's our slow Passion Fruitz. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟโณ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS โ€” BEAUTY IN THE DETAILS This is where I really want people to take their time looking at the photographs. Because the first thing you might notice is that she's behind the others. And yes, she is. But don't stop there. Look at those white pistils. Look at the developing flowers. Look at the contrast against the foliage. Look at the overall structure. Look at how she's becoming a bigger plant while still showing a relatively early-looking floral expression compared with some of the other phenotypes. There's a lot to appreciate here. The full-plant photographs tell us about her size and structure. The closer shots let us appreciate the individual flower sites. And the week-to-week comparisons help us see the changes that might otherwise be difficult to notice. That's why I enjoy documenting every phenotype individually. A single photograph tells us what a plant looks like at one moment. A diary gives us the story of how she got there. And Passion Fruitz has certainly given us a story worth following. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š WE'RE NOT GOING TO RUSH HER Let's be honest. I'd love to see this girl move faster. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ I would! When you have other plants in the same room moving further along, it's natural to look at Passion Fruitz and wonder when she's going to catch up. But comparing their progress doesn't mean we should force her to follow their timeline. She's an individual plant. She's showing us her own development. And our job is to observe that honestly. We're not going to pretend she's further along than she is. We're also not going to write her off because she's slower. She's still growing. She's producing beautiful white pistils. She's developing her flower structures. And she's becoming a substantial plant. Those are the things worth documenting. The next chapter will tell us more. Until then, we're going to let Passion Fruitz continue revealing her own expression. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

And Passion Fruitz is still taking her time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘โณ She's still way behind the other girls in visible flower development. Even the Blueberry Muffins are further along. Her beautiful white pistils are still prominent. Her flower structures are developing. Her foliage has that lovely deep green appearance. And she's becoming a bigger, more substantial plant. Our little solo survivor is turning into a big mama of her own. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ She's growing. She's developing. She's building. But she's doing it slowly. Very slowly. And honestly? I'm still enjoying watching her. Because the 8ร—8 Adventure was never supposed to be about making every plant behave the same way. It was about giving different phenotypes a shared environment and documenting what happens. Passion Fruitz is giving us a clear example of how different those timelines can be. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same shared nutritional approach. And yet... a completely different pace. That's what makes her interesting. That's what makes her worth following. And that's why she deserves her own report. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate those beautiful white hairs. Let's appreciate that developing flower formation. Let's appreciate the way she's becoming a bigger plant. And let's accept that she's not going to win any speed competitions this week. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ† No problem, girl. We're not going anywhere. We'll keep observing. We'll keep documenting. We'll keep comparing her progress with her own previous weeks rather than expecting her to become somebody else. And we'll let the next chapter tell us what comes next. Keep growing, beautiful Passion Fruitz. Keep developing those flowers. Keep doing your thing. And when you're ready to show us the next stage... we'll be right here. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing the platform where we can document these individual journeys and share the progress with the community. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful solo survivor throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the garden. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring another dimension of lighting deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following these twelve girls week after week. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every bit of support. You're part of this adventure too. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Twelve individual timelines. And Passion Fruitz? She's still taking the scenic route. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ But she's beautiful. She's growing. She's developing. And she's teaching us another lesson in patience. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep documenting the differences. And let's give every phenotype the attention she deserves, whether she's racing toward the finish or taking her sweet time getting there. Until next week... Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘ Take care, everyone. And Passion Fruitz... we love you, girl. But seriously... HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘โณ Keep shining, beautiful slow girl. Your story isn't finished yet. See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’š https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial

Fertigation injects fertilizers into an irrigation system to supply dissolved nutrients to crops. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ04.20.24 Today, I flipped the ladies into flower. I Have let them veg out as much as I feel the grow space can handle. I am sure there will be a bit of pruning and super cropping in the near future.

A combination of US genetics, Sherbet Cake, and Purple Moonbow create this potent sedative with THC levels above 30% that will take you to celestial bliss. An exquisite terpene profile offers a tempting treat of sensational fruity tastes, flavors, and aromas that will seduce your mind and body and take you to a serene place of pure tranquility. Ocimene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene are the predominant terpenes; they produce an incredible array of sugary berry fruit flavors with floral hints and spicy undertones. Growing these feminized seeds is effortless and straightforward regardless of your growing skills, and at harvest time, you will be generously rewarded. Plants will mature to a manageable height with a flowering period of 65 - 70 days and will develop thick, dense buds glossed in thick layers of THC resin crystals packed with indica power that will lure into a deep relaxation. Expect an indoor yield of 600 - 700 gr m2 and outdoor production of over 1 kilo per plant.
