Pineapple in the Parlour! End of week 5 for these two beauties. I've fed them twice with the same feed as week 4 but both times supplemented 1ml per litre with Canna Nitrogen and 0.5 of BioGreen Calgel. They've responded perfectly changing to a luscious deep green colour and nearly doubled in size! I'm putting this down to many factors but have to give some credit to my new Ecotechnics Unis Co2 doser. It took a few days for the plants to respond but they have had a great burst of growth in the last 72 hours. At the beginning of the week I struggled with some environmental issues and these plants looked lacking in calcium but you wouldn't know if you looked at them today. Both beautiful and green! I'm hoping that by next week they will start showing signs of flower as I'm training them to go under a scrog and dont actually want them to get too big. The reason for this is because i have 2 Six Shooter in the tent also and want to give them enough space to show me just how good a strain they are. Ahhh But...... afterall this is my competition grow and I want these Pinapple to flourish and yeild the best they can. Hence why I'm investing heavily in my environment. As well as the Co2 I've also added an additional 300w LED into the tent. Its actually the light I used to veg these plants but I have ordered a new light for my veg box and I'm not about having lights sat around 😁 Fingers crossed these girls make the flip at some point this week. P Update: Day 39 added a few more photos of these beautiful Pinapple! I think FastBuds should have named them Amazon Express because this canopy is thick!!!! I think they are just showing their first signs of flower which is great so I may do a little bit of defoliation tomorrow or Saturday. Some of the biggest fan leaves are the size of my hand and taking up a lot of that valuable canopy light. As these are going under the net I'm just constantly tucking them under as they grow a couple of inches per day. Everything going really well with this grow I'm really optimistic.

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 13 The Solo Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Solo 🍬👑🌸🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our girl... She keeps surprising me. Week after week. 😂🍬 Just when I think I've got a pretty good idea of what Candy Rain is going to do... she looks at me and says: "Actually... no." 😂🌸 More beautiful. More dense. More compact. More flowers. More structure. More of everything. And honestly? I don't think she likes being called our "solo survivor" anymore. 😂😂😂 Because she's doing everything she possibly can to look like more than one plant. She's filling her space. She's building flowers everywhere. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as simply "the little solo girl." She's one plant... but she's behaving like she's trying to bring a whole fucking team with her. 😂🍬🌿👑 And I absolutely love it. She's lush. She's green. She's beautiful. She's moving at her own rhythm. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here... watching. Supporting. Providing what she needs. And trying to keep up with whatever the hell she has decided to do next. 😂 So this week... the spotlight belongs to our Candy Rain girl. Let's make her shine. 🍬✨🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🍬 WEEK 13 – THE SOLO SURVIVOR IS REFUSING TO BE SOLO I think we've officially reached the point where the nickname "solo survivor" is becoming misleading. 😂 Because yes... technically... there is only one Candy Rain plant. But look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. 😂🌸🍬 She's filling herself with flowers. She's creating more and more individual flowering structures. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more compact. She's becoming fuller. And every time I look at her, I find another little section that has developed further. It's almost like she's saying: "Okay, maybe I'm alone... but I'm going to make sure nobody notices." 😂😂😂 And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. Not because she's trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's trying to compete. But because she's simply continuing to develop at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. 🍬🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 MORE BUDS, MORE DENSITY, MORE CANDY RAIN The biggest thing I'm noticing this week is simply how much more there is to look at. More flowers. More density. More compact structures. More development. More detail. It's one of those plants where you can stand there and think: "Okay... beautiful." Then you look a little closer: "Oh..." 😂 And then closer again: "Wait... there's another one there." 😂🍬🌸 That's what she's doing now. She's filling the plant. She's making herself increasingly substantial. And I really like the compact character we're seeing from her. She's not simply stretching everything out. She's developing these beautiful, increasingly dense flowering structures that give the plant a really full appearance. The photographs this week really show that progression. She's not just flowering anymore. She's becoming. And there's a big difference. ──────────────────────── 💚 THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN And then there's the colour. 🍬💚🌿 She's still giving us that beautiful, lush green appearance. And honestly... I love it. There's something about a healthy-looking green plant that never gets old for me. Especially when you start combining that colour with developing flowers, frost and structure. She has that beautiful contrast. Green foliage. Developing flowers. Resin catching the light. Different textures. Different shades. And all of it coming together into one very pretty girl. She's not trying to turn herself into something else. She's simply being Candy Rain. And Candy Rain is green. 😂💚🍬 Very, very green. And I like it. ──────────────────────── 👑 ONE PLANT TRYING TO BECOME MANY This is probably my favourite thing about her right now. She's one plant... but she doesn't look like she wants to behave like one. 😂😂😂 It's almost as if she's trying to multiply herself through the number of flowering structures she's creating. One girl. Many personalities. Many flowers. Many little places demanding attention. And somehow she keeps making the plant look fuller. It's hilarious. Because I originally called her our solo survivor. Now I'm starting to think she's offended by the word "solo." 😂🍬👑 She's basically saying: "Don't call me alone. Look how many flowers I have." 😂🌸🌸🌸 Fair enough, girl. Message received. You may technically be one... but you're certainly making enough noise for several. ──────────────────────── 🔥 SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER And this is what I really enjoy about following her. She doesn't seem to have reached a point where I think: "Okay, that's it. That's what she's going to be." Every week there's something new. A little more density. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more frost. A little more presence. And suddenly... she looks better again. That's what makes the weekly diary so valuable. If you only saw this girl today, you might simply say: "Beautiful Candy Rain." But because we've been watching her week after week... we can see the journey. We can see the progression. We can see the plant slowly becoming more and more substantial. And I absolutely love that. 🍬🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE GETTING MORE INTERESTING And these photographs? I really like them. 📸🍬 Because we're now at the stage where the individual flowers are starting to tell more of the story. The wider shots show the plant. The closer shots show the structure. And then the really close views... well... that's where you start getting lost. 😂🔬🌸 You see the density. You see the developing resin. You see the flower structures becoming more compact. You see the little details that are easy to miss from across the room. And that's exactly why I love documenting these girls. The plant doesn't change overnight. But when you put the photographs from several weeks together... suddenly you can see just how much has happened. ──────────────────────── 🍬 OUR SOLO SURVIVOR HAS CHARACTER She's really become one of the characters of the 8×8. And I think that's worth saying. At the beginning, she was simply: "Our solo survivor." Now? She's Candy Rain. 😂🍬👑 She has her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own colour. Her own way of developing. Her own personality. And I genuinely look forward to seeing what she's doing when I walk into the room. That's when you know a plant has become more than just another plant. You start recognizing her. You start understanding her. You start noticing the little differences. And that's one of the most beautiful things about growing multiple phenotypes. You stop seeing twelve labels. You start seeing twelve personalities. Candy Rain has definitely developed hers. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT STORY And of course... we come back to one of the foundations of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. 🍬☀️🌿 The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're still working with the expanded lighting capability at controlled output. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug With around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Candy Rain is receiving those same photons as everybody else. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming dense. She's becoming compact. She's filling her structure. She's becoming more and more beautiful. The photons are the same. The response isn't. And that's the experiment. That's the magic. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us more capability. More flexibility. More available lighting capacity. But we're not simply running everything at maximum just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're watching the plants. And we're letting them tell us their story. Candy Rain is definitely talking. 😂🍬 She's saying: "More flowers, please." 😂🌸 And apparently... she's taking the photons and doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION This is another beautiful example of why I love having these individual diaries. If somebody only followed Candy Rain... they might think: "This is what the room looks like." But it's not. This is what Candy Rain looks like. The room is the constant. The plant is the variable. And that's what makes this entire project so interesting. Some girls are tall. Some are compact. Some are huge. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some are frosty monsters. Some are heavy beasts. Some are elegant. Some are strange. And Candy Rain? She's the beautiful solo girl who's apparently trying to become a whole crowd. 😂🍬🌸👑 I wouldn't change that. ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M MOSTLY JUST SUPPORTING HER NOW And honestly... there isn't much for me to do. She's doing the work. I'm observing. I'm supporting. I'm providing what she wants. And when she needs something... I respond. That's it. There's no need for me to constantly interfere. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's flowering. She's getting denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. So my job becomes simple. Look. Observe. Listen. Support. And let her grow. 🌱💚 Sometimes the smartest thing a grower can do is realize that the plant doesn't need to be "fixed." It just needs to be allowed to continue. And Candy Rain? She's continuing beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🍬 SHE'S MAKING THIS ROUND CRAZY I think this is the best way to describe the current stage. She's giving us a crazy round. 😂🔥🍬 Not because she's trying to break records. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. But because every time I think I've understood her... she gives us another little surprise. More density. More flowers. More compact structure. More beauty. More frost. More green. More personality. And I love it. This is exactly why I don't want to put expectations on these plants. Let them show us. Let them tell us. Let them surprise us. Candy Rain is doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP And yes... the frost is still part of her story. 🍬❄️✨ As the flowers become more substantial, that resin-covered character becomes more noticeable. You can see it catching the light. You can see it on the developing flowers. And when you combine that with her beautiful green colour... she has a really attractive appearance. She's not just green. She's green with sparkle. 😂💚✨ And that's a combination I can absolutely get behind. ──────────────────────── 🌸 COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN SMALL This is another little observation I really like with her. She's becoming more compact. More dense. More filled. But that doesn't mean she's insignificant. Quite the opposite. The compactness is part of her character. The flowers are becoming substantial within that structure. She's filling the plant instead of simply extending it. And that's what makes her interesting. She's not trying to be the tallest girl in the room. She's trying to be the girl with flowers everywhere. 😂🍬🌸 And she's succeeding. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not creating a completely different world around Candy Rain. She's part of the same room. Same general foundation. Same approach. And then... we observe what she does with it. And what she's doing is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. 🍬💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE 8×8 EXPERIMENT KEEPS TEACHING US And this is why I keep coming back to the same point. The 8×8 isn't about finding one perfect plant. It's about seeing the differences. It's about watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. And Candy Rain is giving us another beautiful example. She's showing us that one plant can have a completely different rhythm from another. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to be the frostiest. She doesn't need to be the most colourful. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing exactly that. 🍬🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 👑 ONE GIRL – MANY STORIES Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. And now... our girl who's apparently trying to become a whole family. 😂🍬🌸 I love the contradiction. One plant. So many flowers. One root system. So many flowering structures. One girl. So much personality. She's proving that "solo" doesn't necessarily mean lonely. 😂 She's got plenty going on. And honestly... she looks like she's having a fantastic time doing it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm watching: 🌸 Continued flower development. 🍬 More stacking. 💚 That beautiful lush green colour. ❄️ Continued frost development. 🌿 Increasing density and compactness. 👀 Her overall progression. 📸 And, of course, documenting every step of the journey. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm not trying to predict exactly where she's going. I'm simply watching. Because right now... the story is beautiful. And she's still writing it. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... more surprises. 😂🍬 More flowers. More density. More frost. More development. More beautiful green. And probably another week where I walk into the room and say: "Well... you did it again." 😂😂😂 That's Candy Rain. She's going to do what Candy Rain wants to do. And my job is simply to give her the opportunity. Provide what she needs. Support her when she asks. And let her shine. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE SOLO GIRL WHO ISN'T ACTING SOLO Week 13. Candy Rain Auto. 🍬👑🌸 And this girl keeps surprising me. She's becoming more beautiful. More dense. More compact. More full of flowers. More frosty. And somehow... more herself. That's probably what I love most. She's not trying to become another plant. She's not trying to follow somebody else's schedule. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's simply doing Candy Rain things. 😂🍬 And apparently... Candy Rain things include trying to make one plant look like several. 😂😂😂 She's lush. She's green. She's compact. She's developing beautiful flowers throughout her structure. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's giving us one hell of a round. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to force her. I'm not going to compare her. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep documenting. And keep enjoying this beautiful girl. 🍬🌿💚 Because sometimes... the solo survivor becomes one of the most memorable plants in the entire room. And I think Candy Rain is doing exactly that. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that beautiful green. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate those compact flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the personality. And let's see just how much more this girl wants to surprise us with. 🍬✨🌸🔥 Candy Rain... you may be one plant... but you're making enough noise for several. 😂👑 Keep doing your thing, girl. Keep stacking. Keep building. Keep shining. Keep being beautifully, stubbornly, wonderfully YOU. 🍬💚🌿✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow throughout this adventure. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to remind me that every plant has her own personality. And Candy Rain? She's becoming one of my favourites to watch. 🍬💚👑 She started this journey as our solo survivor. Now she's apparently trying to prove that one plant can look like several. 😂🌸🌸🌸 She's beautiful. She's lush. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. She's developing. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here to support her and give her what she asks for. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when the plant says: "Keep going." We keep going. 🍬🌿💚 So let's give our girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy this crazy round she's giving us. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's see what Candy Rain decides to show us next. Because if this girl has taught me anything... it's that she's not finished surprising us. Not even close. 😂🍬🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the green keeps shining, and our solo survivor continues doing everything she can to prove that one plant... can still make a hell of a lot of noise. 🍬👑🌸💚 Let her shine.

She is beautiful and I know her bud is going to be fire!!! But good goodness she stinks!! Kind of like fruity garbage, rotting fruit. Her buds are huge and already pretty heavy ❤️❤️

the girl has already matured :) tomorrow will be the crossing and renewal :).

Like I said normal difficulty but good resistance at the same time. Similar to an OG kush kinda. Sampled some already great smoke decent flavor considering it’s not cured yet. It still needs a day or 2 to dry as well but won’t cure it as I need weed soon. Hope y’all liked it and hope u look at my primary grow which is my 5x5 gorilla grow tent with a viparspectra ks5000 515 watt led light with full equipment including ac unit and DIY co2.

Please stop stretching 🙆‍♀️

Die letzten Woche bleibt es nun mit dem Klima noch schwierig! Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur im grünen Bereich zu halten mit sehr hohen Außentemperaturen….. der neue große externe Entfeuchter ist in Betrieb genommen ….er macht seinen Job ! Der Externe Entfeuchter im Vorraum entfeuchtet jeden Tag zwischen 5-7 Liter! Diese Woche eine minimale Entlaubung gelaufen …. Diese Woche gab es nach dem fluchen mit canna flush keine Nährstoffe mehr ….ich habe die Pflanzen nochmal mit 40 l gespült….der ec im drain wurde danach gemessen …. Danach immer noch 1,1-1,2…. 3 Tage gewartet und noch mal mit 40 l gespült…. Danach dann ec 0,7 so bleibt es nun…. Den ph habe ich beim letzten flushen auf 7 gesetzt da die wurzeln nichts mehr transportieren sollen…. Der Herbst muss schnell her 😁( 1 mal als erstes geflusht mit Canna flush mit 15 l pro Pflanze) Die tricome sagen das alles fertig ist. Ich warte noch bis das Substrat ausgetrocknet ist und dann wird sofort geerntet .zum abreifen auf 70 % runter gefahren , Nebeneffekt ist, geringere Temperatur im Zelt und das ist gut… Tage der Keimungsphase = 4 Tage Tage in Wachstum = 52 Tage Tage in der Blüte = 68 Tage Gesamt = 124 Tage Wachstum h (in einer Woche)= 0 cm 2 mal in dieser Woche mit Purolyt Mischung 1:25 besprüht Lichtstärke: 75 % PPFD: ca. 800 umol Lichtabstand: 35 cm Std Tag/Nacht: 12/12 Temperatur Tag: ca. 25,5 Grad RLF Tag: 55% Temperatur Nacht: 21 Grad RLF Nacht: ca. 55 % VPD Wert: ca. 1,0 PH Wert Wasser/Düngelösung: 5,7 -7,0 EC Wert: 0,7-1,2 Ventilator Oszillation: Stufe 1 Befeuchter: Aus Entfeuchter: an Bewässerung: manuell alle 3 Tage geflusht Purolyt Besprühung: 2 mal Controlling: Grow Control Dünger: Canna Coco Licht: Pro Emit Vollspektrum Abluft: EC Carbon Active 750 m3

Still need to defoliate this week

Semana tranquila, lo de siempre en estas últimas semanas , ir atando apicales como buenamente se puede para que no toquen el techo del invernadero. el resto son fotos de lo que le fui añadiendo al invernadero para favorecer la ventilación y la renovación del aire. De esta forma me puedo permitir cerrar la puerta hasta abajo y que quede todo más protegido.

Diese Pflanze wird sehr schön sie bildet über all schöne Triebe zeigt eine schöne Farbe und wird nur noch größer schaut euch wie viele Triebe das sind

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

At Day 33 we started with defolation. They seem to be very healthy, although there are fungus gnats. The Ladies have no problem with it. You already can see the preflower in the last pictures. Next step will be to send them in the Flower Stage and turn up the lights

Hi all, sorry for the delay, all continues to go very well, she is handling the nutrients very well wit only a very little tip burn. I increased the light a little bit, as I felt that some of the main colas on the side didn't get enough light. Next week I will probably be able to show the little veg-box I built, since the cuttings are slowly outgrowing their current home.

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

As usual plain sailing the autopots are such a bonus when it's 28c indoors. This week they have had pH water and Iguana juice Bio. Also they have had two times KNF foliar feed.

Hallo Growmies und Willkommen zur Woche 5 von Guava Runtz Auto 🍈 Sie hat ordentliche Verzweigungen entwickelt und beginnt die Blüten Produktion mittlerweile!

Week 9: Transitioning and Training The Durban Poison photoperiods are officially settling into their long-term homes and showing some impressive vigor. After the successful transplant into the 25-gallon fabric pots, the root systems are clearly enjoying the extra breathing room. This week is all about managing that explosive growth and setting a solid foundation for the structure of the plants. #Environmental Conditions Location: Outdoor Deck Climate: High plains (Variable temperatures and shifting winds) Sunlight: Full sun (approx. 14+ hours of daylight) Garden Updates & Maintenance The focus this week has shifted from recovery to Low Stress Training (LST). Given how tall this Sativa-dominant landrace can get, keeping the canopy managed is a priority.Train: Implementing a DIY bamboo trellis system. I’m gently pulling the main branches outward to encourage lateral growth and ensure better airflow through the center of the plant. Irrigation: The dual-timer manifold is up and running. The custom-drilled hoses are delivering a consistent soak, which is crucial as the Colorado sun starts to intensify. Nutrients:Sticking with the **FOOP Organic** regimen. The leaves are a deep, healthy green with no signs of transplant shock or nutrient burn. Pest Management: The **African Marigolds** are positioned as sentinels around the fabric bags. So far, the companion planting is doing its job—no signs of mites or aphids. Observations The nodal spacing is starting to stretch slightly, which is expected for Durban Poison. The stalks are thickening up nicely, becoming sturdy enough to handle the afternoon gusts. Plans for Week 10 * Continue adjusting the ties on the LST setup. * Monitor for any early signs of "the stretch."
