12/02/2024 13/02/2024 MS is growing funny 😁 TF has exactly the same feed mls. Shes looked forever hungry 14/02/2024 Lite Defoll. Midday. TF has never looked the healthiest with the first time using HydroSol + H202 water soluble feed. I think i have the ratio/some sroted to where I've seen improvements. First improvements i have seen are: 1. NO Nutritional burn or Lockout! (non-salt based). P.s ignore the over salas 12% HP at the start (no idea what i was thinking). Sometimes being ahead; means i am a being with a head that makes human errors. Oh, the joys of plant-discovery. Sorry side tracked lol 2. Quicker Absorbing witb water soluble food. As long as she's hydrated she's eating! 3. No idea yet Have a ball!! Listening to this relaxing and i started thibking about Spirituality and how its included in all faiths. But if say "Jesus Christ is a façade and all religions are based on astrological events painted with fictional characters to repent the Christological doctrine to "date" the past. 21 Ways Archaeologists Date Ancient Artifacts are mostly flawed because they only have the "present" to date decay from. They miss the mark and the professionals deliberately push the religious artifacts to match up to the hollyword. So who's to say what "Date & Time" we are currently living in! In reality; we can only measure and date time from the the last natural apocalypses or near misses, dor we are the surviours from such events.. Look round at real history! What mordern day academics just brushed under the rug with some made up theories of what they like us to believe happened. Even they are in a Dilemmas (government's) have the knowledge of these such events. SpaceX and Nasa are all doomsday preppers! As for India going to the moon 🌙 seriously 😐 who's buying this stuff? I've let go so much that the whole world is my own intention and floods my brain with endorphins of being the observer. The reason we are all "consciousnesses" and in sudden alert of awareness of this world and being alive is because we are in the end time again! We have all woken up to everything because the omens of the apocalypse alerts and kicks in certain parts of the DNA to force memories to the soul like "hey you need to remember this and get somewhere safe" 17/02/2025 Vast improvements 18/02/2025 Defolled to make way for fast growth

They have all started showing signs of flower and moving along quickly.Im seeing a huge stretch this week and the girls are filling out nicely.I have increased the se7000 to 60 percent light intensity and they are taking it well.Maybe I’ll add a net to get more light penetration or maybe not as I like to be able to spin the pots around.

Grow Diaries Report: Flower Week 1 – Stretch Madness & Heavy Grooming 🌿🚀 Week 9 – Flower Week 1 Update The flowering phase has officially kicked off, and wow, this plant is on a mission to touch the sky! The stretch this week has been intense, with the plant shooting up significantly. To manage her vigor and focus her energy on bud production, I’ve had to step in with defoliation and additional lollipopping. This Week’s Highlights Massive Stretch: The plant stretched dramatically this week, filling up the vertical space in the tent. Defoliation: I removed a significant amount of fan leaves to improve light penetration to the lower branches. Lollipopping Redux: Further cleaned up the lower parts of the plant, focusing her resources on the top colas. What I Did Lollipopping: Removed more of the lower branches and leaves that were unlikely to contribute to bud production. Defoliation: Took off some large fan leaves to improve airflow and light exposure throughout the canopy. Nutrients: Continued with the bloom feeding schedule, ensuring a balance of phosphorus and potassium for flower development. Environment Management: Adjusted the light height to prevent light burn and tweaked the fan placement to improve airflow in the now more open canopy. Observations The plant’s stretch has been both impressive and challenging, but the defoliation and lollipopping seem to be working. The top canopy looks well-lit and primed for flower development. No signs of stress from the grooming, which is always a relief during such an aggressive stretch. Challenges The rapid vertical growth is pushing the limits of the grow tent. I’ll need to monitor her closely to prevent overcrowding or light burn. Next Steps Keep monitoring the stretch over the next week—potential supercropping if necessary to control height. Fine-tune the nutrient schedule to ensure the plant has everything it needs as bud sites develop. Maintain low humidity to reduce the risk of mold or mildew during early flowering. Conclusion The first week of flowering has been an explosive start! The stretch is real, but with proper management, she’s looking set to develop some fantastic buds in the weeks ahead. 🌟 Any tips for managing a stretch-happy plant in a tight grow tent? Drop your advice below! 😊

Most of the week was spent setting up the hydro grow. Needed to build a DIY chiller since air temp in our grow room is hot, and water needs to be a good deal colder. Fridge from kijiji, garden hose, fittings, and submersible pump all in were under $100 but knowing what I know now I'd likely go with a thermoelectric chiller (DIY, with power supply and temp controller) next time around. Looking forward to tracking metrics and seeing how it goes :). Seems there's a lot of contradiction in terms of level of nutrients recommended, max water temperature, using H2O2 to boost water temp that can keep algae and rot at bay, etc. Got my hands on some Hydroguard via Amazon... despite local shops saying you can't get it in Canada... so I'm going to go with that instead of H2O2 to start, despite water temp getting up above 21 C (70 f) during the day. Fingers crossed. Update - keeping water reservoir tank under 20 C now by using reflective bubble wrap insulation on the reservoir itself and pipe insulation as well. It's a 10 C difference from the room temp, so I'm SUPER pleased with that.

🌸 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! 🌱💚

The plants are doing good but I noticed two days ago the ones in the cloth pots and old soil were nut burned. I mixed more dirt up with the Kellogg soil and repotted the four that are showing nut burn. I shook off most of the soil on the roots, too. The ones in the 5 gallon pots are doing fantastic! They are larger and have better leaves. I think I caught the issue with the other four in time, but we shall see. No other changes

The buds are developing nicely and some pistils started to turn orange. I tested different things for the watering this week to avoid having too dry soil or too much excess water. The Wedding Cheesecake continues to have yellow leaves at the bottom despite the add of some biogrow. Overall it looks ok and the buds are growing so I'm not too concerned. I saw no particular issues due to the light leak from last week.

20.01.21. 45 дней Халкберри. Халкберри действительноно побил мой рекорд по скорости зацветание. Переход длился всего одну неделю. Видимо я рано сделал 12/12 не дав ей восстановиться после стрессовых тренировок.пришлось подставить 10 см платформу под горшок, чтобы не опускать сетку. Но, тем не менее она очень толстая и пышная дама. Кушает отлично, толстеет, лбрастая стимами, а они у неё очень крупные. Породистость чувствуется. Следим дальше. Всем спасибо за ваше внимания, друзья)) .
