9/14: They're all still swelling up, but a few are now showing some withered pistils ...shouldn't be much longer now for them. #4's and #3's..then it will bt the #10's. At that point, I'll probably go ahead and move the remaining 4 x #2's into my tiny tent and move all the seedlings into the closet. 9/17: Fed the #2's and #10's....flushed the #4's and #3's and the autos 9/18: Incredible reek coming out of the closet now whenever the exhaust is off...gotta leave it on more I guess...

Starting to look better!

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

Harvest update on flowering day 75 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey everyone ☺️👍. Today there is a short update of the harvest before the last update after the fermentation comes 😀👍. Both phenotypes were very easy to cut due to their very good bud to leaf ratio ☺️. I already like both phenotypes in terms of smell, although I have to say that Phenotype 1 smells much better and fruity 😍. Was trimmed clean by hand with disinfected scissors :-). Before harvest, both plants were given complete darkness for 48 hours. The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber 😍. You can now dry for 7-12 days on the net at 62% humidity. Then it goes for another 12-17 weeks in the glasses with 62% boveda packs which are then changed to 58% boveda packs :-). Until then and for the final harvest update, I wish you all a lot of fun.

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Unos esquejes brutales pero las condiciones del cultivo no fueron óptimas tuvimos retrasos al principio con el crecimiento problemas de nitrogeno, algo de humedad alta al principio de la floración y aun así salió el producto muy bueno, tanto de sabor como de cómo con. Sencillez es fácil de cultivar es rápida de cojones y además es resistente.

Day 21 and the girls are really starting to take off.I did some LST on 3 of the 5 so far and will get the other 2 bent over in the next few days. Day 27 I watered with recharge tea and tied down some branches to get some more light into the center of the plants.I have increased the light intensity to 50 percent and slightly lowered the humidity this week.

Haven’t been able to really check in daily. Been letting it go too dry I think and then messing up by over watering to try and compensate. I added nutrients in hope to make things healthy again but it seems to back fire yet again 😂. At least with this being my first grow I’m learning about the plants life cycle, the environment and myself. I will not be making the same mistakes. A part of me wants to dump all the existing plants and just start over fresh but I want to learn about the curing and harvest as well so if I do so then I’ll be taking away from the new growth in learning being my first time. I also ordered 2 books to help me get a little more educated. I will post the books later on I can’t recall the names of the top of my head rn. Anyways best of luck and blessing to everyone out there trying. 😎

Venga familia ya viene la cosecha de estas GG4 de MSNL, que ganas que tenía ya de darles tijera. Para empezar me dieron gato por liebre, nunca mejor dicho, me dijeron que era feminizada de temporada y resultó ser autofloreciente. Eso muy mal. Las flores aparte se ven resinosa y tienen colores llamativos. La planta sin más, típica rudelaris que sinceramente detesto. Fue una genética con la que no disfruté cultivarla, aunque es bastante fácil de cultivar.

18cm growth this week. She got bushier too. Doing her own thing.

Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind me. 💪 As I announced last week, this week I did my first defoliation. I removed all the leaves from the lower branches and thus allowed her better airflow since there are three plants in the box. It was getting a little crowded already. 😏 As can be seen in the pictures, the flowers are developing nicely and have started to take on a fruity scent. 😋 Watering is every third day, when each plant in the box receives approximately 2.5 liters of water. I started adding CalMg preventively, 1.5 ml / lit and continuing with BioBizz, I will add it by feeling. I will see how the plants will react to this. Here's what the week looked like: 23/10/2020 - Day 29. Watering. This time I only added CalMg without BioBizz. p.H I regulated to 6.4 and the temperature of the water I water with is always around 20 degrees. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.5 degrees and 51% humidity. 24/10/2020 - Day 30. Defoliation. As I wrote earlier, I cleaned the leaves on the lower branches and allowed better airflow and easier watering. 👍 26/10/2020 - Day 32. Watering. I always prepare about 8 liters of water with which I water all three plants. This time I added both CalMg and BioBizz. p.H. - 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.4 degrees and 44% humidity. 29/10/2020 - Day 35. Photographing and watering. I took photos for this week just in the box. I think I will only take photos on a black background for the last two weeks of flowering so as not to disturb them too much. I then watered the plants only with water with regulated p.H at 6.4. That's all for this week, so far everything is great and I hope it will continue that way. See you soon. 🙌

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 7 (Flowering) 🌱 Sometimes the Quiet Ones Steal the Show One of the things I love most about growing is that plants don't compete with one another. They simply become the best version of themselves. Pink Rosay has never been the biggest lady in the room. She hasn't stretched toward the ceiling. She hasn't demanded constant attention. Instead, she's quietly transformed into one of the most elegant and captivating plants in this entire 8×8 Adventure. Standing at approximately 111 cm, she remains beautifully compact while filling her own little corner of the tent with an incredible number of perfectly formed flowering sites. She's one of those plants that makes you stop for a second every time you walk into the room. Not because she's loud. Because she's beautiful. 🌸 Week 7 – Finding Her Spotlight This week she's truly beginning to shine. The stretch is now almost completely behind her, allowing nearly all of her energy to be redirected toward flower production. Every branch seems alive. The flowers are stacking rapidly, calyxes continue swelling, and every cola is crowned with an explosion of brilliant white pistils that make the entire canopy glow beneath the lights. There is something incredibly clean about her appearance. Every branch is organised. Every flower seems perfectly positioned. Every day brings noticeably more substance. She's developing with confidence. And she's moving surprisingly fast. ✨ Already Frosty Before Her Time One detail that's impossible to ignore this week is just how quickly resin production has begun. For this stage of flowering, she's already wearing an impressive coating of trichomes. The sugar leaves are becoming increasingly dusted with sparkling resin glands, surrounding each developing flower with that unmistakable frosted appearance that every grower loves to see. It's still very early. These aren't finished flowers. They're only just getting started. Yet the genetics are already hinting at the incredible resin production waiting later in bloom. It's like watching winter slowly arrive, one crystal at a time. 🌼 The Language of White Pistils Everywhere you look... White. Fresh. Healthy pistils. One of the most rewarding parts of early flowering is watching these bright white hairs emerge across every flowering site. For newer growers, it's worth remembering that these aren't the flowers themselves. They're part of the female reproductive structure, growing from each calyx as the plant continues building her buds. They're essentially the roadmap of flower development. Today they're long, soft and brilliantly white. Over the coming weeks they'll slowly mature, change colour and retreat back into the swelling calyxes as each bud becomes larger, denser and more mature. For now, they're telling us exactly what we want to hear. "This plant is building flowers." And she's doing it beautifully. 🍃 Healthy Leaves, Vibrant Colour & Perfect Balance The foliage continues looking absolutely outstanding. The leaves display a rich, healthy green from top to bottom, maintaining excellent posture throughout the day without signs of stress or nutrient imbalance. Everything feels incredibly balanced. The stems have become thick enough to support future flower weight, while the internodal spacing remains open enough to allow excellent airflow throughout the canopy. Nothing feels crowded. Nothing feels wasted. The plant simply looks comfortable. Comfortable with her feeding. Comfortable with her environment. Comfortable becoming exactly what her genetics intended. 💡 Lighting From Every Angle Although Pink Rosay isn't the tallest plant in the room, she's receiving approximately 1,000 PPFD across the canopy from the Future of Grow Black Series LED. That level of light provides more than enough energy to support vigorous flower production while allowing this compact phenotype to maximise every square centimetre of her canopy. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another layer to the lighting strategy. As the flowers become larger and the canopy naturally thickens, those lower branches often receive significantly less light. The additional illumination helps maintain energy deeper into the plant, giving secondary flowering sites the opportunity to continue developing alongside the upper canopy. The true difference will reveal itself at harvest. But watching the room evolve under this combination of top and under-canopy lighting has been incredibly exciting. 💧 Hand Watering – Every Plant, Every Day Like the rest of the garden, Pink Rosay is now completely hand watered. It certainly takes more time. Every plant needs individual attention. Every watering means preparing nutrients, checking EC, adjusting pH and carefully delivering exactly what each lady needs. It's more work than automation. But it's also one of my favourite parts of the day. It forces me to slow down. To observe. To notice small changes before they become big ones. And honestly... I wouldn't have it any other way. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • pH: 5.8 Consistency continues to be one of the biggest reasons this garden keeps performing so well. 🌡️ Environment The environment remains stable, allowing Pink Rosay to focus entirely on producing flowers. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 529 ppm Healthy roots, stable temperatures and consistent environmental control continue allowing these genetics to express themselves naturally without unnecessary stress. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the pace of flower development to accelerate even further. The calyxes should begin stacking much more aggressively, individual flowers will gradually merge together into larger colas, and resin production should spread rapidly across the sugar leaves surrounding every bud site. The pistils will continue multiplying before eventually beginning their slow journey toward maturity later in flower. She's still far from finished. But every single day she's becoming more impressive. If she continues evolving like this, I genuinely believe she'll become one of the standout plants of this entire project. 🙏 Final Thoughts Pink Rosay continues proving that elegance doesn't need to shout. She has grown with remarkable balance from the very beginning, requiring very little intervention while rewarding that trust with beautiful structure, exceptional health and flowers that seem to become more attractive every single day. Her compact frame, brilliant white pistils and rapidly increasing layer of resin make her one of those plants that's impossible to walk past without stopping for another look. Some plants ask for attention. Others simply earn it. Pink Rosay has definitely earned hers. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these incredible genetics, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition throughout the grow, Future of Grow for powering the garden with exceptional lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional energy beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, encouragement and shared passion continue making this 8×8 Adventure something truly special. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

3rd week ... life goes on ... leaves come out ... branches grow ... what else? ☕️😂😂😂 Period : 05/04 - 11/04/25 DIARIE: A small word about my growing equipment (pic 1): - I use two 9.2L airpots (yellow base) that I modify by cutting the first three levels of the top plastic extensions inside in order to install the FloraFlex caps that fit perfectly. The bases are placed at the very bottom to stay around 9L. - Under the airpots, there are under-pots with a drainage tray of about 400 ml. It's practical but very insufficient, I would replace them with a drainage system made by myself like the FloraFlex PotPro Platform (Not found in my country 😭). - I put a scale under the under-pots. I had this idea when I started growing again. For me it's incredibly effective! I have a reference weight and I weigh it "before" and "after" watering, as well as daily, so I know when to water. I press the pots and the scales light up. Perfect watering when it's needed!!! Other information : - Watering volume per plant : 600 ml - Ro water : EC 0.0 & PH 5.8 - Light : Dimmer 60 % - PPFD : 350 - No PH check 🐍Day 1 : My 2 "girls" continue to develop well 🌿 🐍Day 2 : The plants are growing very well. 1st watering. 🐍Day 3 : I'm really happy with the progress of my two BBGs! The branches are growing but, for me, are not yet long enough to start LST. 🐍Day 4 : Dim. : 80% - PPFD: 390 - I fixed the Floraflex on the airpots (Hot glue, easy to remove) so that the caps do not lift with the attachment of the branches during the LST. 2nd watering. 🐍Day 5 : Installing a 6" Mars Hydro oscillating fan, my little Winflex fans, as old as the grow tent, are dying. 🐍Day 6 : Some photos and short vidéos. 3rd and last watering for this week. 🐍Day 7 : PPFD : 430 - Changing the sprinklers. The black clips allow you to plug two of the three holes and also make removing easier. Installation of the "Gravity Dripper" allows for much slower watering, at 2 cm in the grow medium. Start of LST... A big thank you if you come to see my diarie, smoke lots of good weed but don't forget, in reality, man doesn't fly! 😂😂😂

Super excited to see the weight after dry 😬 didn’t weigh any plant when cut !!!!

Hey guys :-) They are developing very well :-) . Was watered twice this week with 1 l each (nutrients see table above) Maybe I'll train them this week. But I'll think about that spontaneously for reasons of space :-) . Otherwise everything is going according to plan and I wish you a lot of fun with the update and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
