In the drying room update to fol

This week I started low stress training on all three plants to try and help grow an even canopy over the next few weeks. 🌱🌱🌱 More possible deficiencies showing on the lower fan leafs but all three plants look for the most part healthy and are still showing good growth each day developing more and more bud sites . 🙂✌️

Harvest day! This is my first autoflower ever and after 66 days this is what I got. Now it's hanging to dry for a dry trim. Definitely not the best, but feeling happy with the outcome. Even with some major feeding mistakes, I managed to finish her. Learned so much. I will update with the final weight and a strain review!

🌱 8×8 Adventure | Folder 09 Candy Rain – Plant A | Week 4 The Little Survivor Every grow tells a different story, and sometimes the most memorable stories begin with unexpected setbacks. Welcome back to the 8×8 Adventure, a project dedicated to exploring multiple genetics grown 12/12 From Seed inside the same flowering environment. The goal is simple: document every phenotype individually, compare their development under identical conditions, and learn something new from every plant along the way. Folder 09 follows our Candy Rain. Unfortunately, she is the only survivor from this batch. The other seeds didn’t make it, and that’s entirely on us. Growing is a journey of constant learning, and sometimes the greatest lessons come from the mistakes we make. Rather than seeing it as a failure, we’ve chosen to give this little lady all of our attention and let her show us exactly what she’s capable of. Every plant deserves the opportunity to tell its own story. ⸻ 🌿 The 8×8 Adventure This entire project is being grown inside our dedicated 8×8 flowering tent, where every cultivar begins life immediately under a 12 hours ON / 12 hours OFF light schedule. There is no long vegetative period. Instead, every plant develops naturally from seed while already living under flowering conditions, creating unique structures, shorter internodal spacing and allowing us to compare how different genetics react to exactly the same environment. Although every plant shares the same room, nutrients and lighting, each phenotype expresses itself differently. That’s exactly why each folder documents a single plant from start to finish. Candy Rain is proving that point perfectly. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Despite summer temperatures continuing to challenge the room, the environment has remained remarkably stable. Week 4 Conditions • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 33°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 63% • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • CO₂: 639 ppm • Pot Size: 15 L Even with daytime temperatures reaching 33°C, the plants continue responding well thanks to stable humidity, strong air circulation and careful environmental management. Consistency is often far more important than chasing perfect numbers. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Programme Candy Rain receives the same balanced Plagron feeding programme as the rest of the room. Current solution per litre: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The solution is adjusted to pH 6.1, maintaining nutrient availability while supporting healthy root development throughout this early stage. Because this plant is hand-watered, every irrigation becomes another opportunity to inspect the substrate, monitor water consumption and observe her development closely. ⸻ 🌱 Development From the very beginning it became clear that this Candy Rain is developing differently from many of the other plants in the room. She remains significantly smaller, with a naturally compact structure and shorter internodal spacing. While several of her neighbours have already begun stretching into flower, this phenotype seems to prefer building slowly, producing tight growth and a sturdy main stem before committing to vertical expansion. Sometimes 12/12 From Seed reveals exactly these kinds of differences. Certain cultivars explode almost immediately, while others seem to take their time adapting before accelerating later in flower. At this point there is nothing suggesting poor health. Quite the opposite. Her new growth is vibrant, symmetrical and full of life. Every node develops cleanly, her stem continues to strengthen and the fresh growth emerging from the centre has a beautiful healthy colour. She’s simply telling her own story at her own pace. ⸻ 🍃 A Small Setback One detail worth mentioning this week is the damage visible on a few of the older fan leaves. After careful observation, the injury doesn’t resemble a nutritional problem. The new growth remains completely unaffected and the damaged areas are isolated to only a handful of older leaves. The most likely explanation is mechanical wind damage. With strong airflow inside the flowering room, larger fan leaves can occasionally fold onto themselves or vibrate continuously in the same position. Over time this creates dry, burnt-looking patches that may resemble nutrient issues but are actually simple physical damage. Because the affected leaves aren’t getting worse and the new growth remains perfect, no corrective feeding changes were necessary. Sometimes the best decision is simply to observe instead of reacting. ⸻ 🍃 Gentle Training Training remains intentionally minimal. Rather than removing healthy foliage, we continue relying on leaf tucking to expose developing shoots to the available light. By carefully moving larger fan leaves beneath the canopy, lower branches receive more light without reducing the plant’s photosynthetic capacity. This gentle approach allows the plant to continue building energy while maintaining as much healthy foliage as possible during these early stages. Patience often produces better results than unnecessary intervention. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Forward Although Candy Rain currently appears to be one of the smallest plants inside the 8×8 tent, that certainly doesn’t mean she’ll stay that way. Some phenotypes invest heavily in root development before accelerating above the soil. Others naturally remain compact throughout their entire life while producing exceptionally dense flowers. That’s exactly why projects like this are so enjoyable. Every phenotype becomes its own little experiment. Whatever path this Candy Rain decides to follow, she’ll receive exactly the same care, patience and attention as every other plant in the room. Because every seed deserves the opportunity to reach its full potential. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Growing has a funny way of keeping us humble. Sometimes everything goes according to plan. Sometimes we lose seeds. Sometimes one little survivor becomes the most interesting plant in the room. That’s exactly why we document every stage honestly—the successes, the mistakes and everything in between. Every experience teaches something valuable, and every diary becomes another chapter in the journey. A massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, advice and shared passion for growing make these journals far more meaningful than they would ever be on their own. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the incredible nutrition keeping this garden healthy, Future of Grow LEDs for providing the light that powers every day of this project, and to the entire GrowDiaries team and community for giving growers around the world a place to learn, share and inspire one another. As always, thank you for stopping by, for reading, and for growing alongside me. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Finally week 4 Growmies 💪😎🌲🌲 She is beautifol and looking really healty🎉🌻 She is in hear new pot and i am shoure she is going to love it and love the new led Viparspectra 450🎉🎉🎉 Hope and shoure yall will enjoy If you swing bi leave i like 👍 Still thanks for all the support, yall are beautifol ❤️❤️

Good strain, strong strain and good grow. Regular seed ended up as a female which was my wish. Happy 😁. The yields were more than I expected. Came in 100g give or take on the scale as wet weight. Did a little bit of trimming on some of the buds, but will see how it goes during drying and curing. Great great genetics and Strain.

I really enjoyed this strain to grow, did a little mistake and flipped them to 12/12 too early (I anticipated too much the stretch and with the mainlining technique, stretch was not that bigger). Amazing smell, full of trichomes. And probably next time I won't use the tabs from biotabs because you can't really control how much nutriments your plant will have, but the others products from biotabs worked really well!

Switch to flowering stage Day #38 12/12 with red LED light from tonight on. ScrOG net Is on. Pots are still wet, no need to water. I defoliated a little bit, then I'll let the alone for a while. I need to find a environment for the clones. It stresses me a bit but I don't want to kill those 4 little clones, not voluntarily. Day #40 I still tend to water too much but I'm slowly learning. Watered until saturated with Biogrow and Atami B Cuzz a +b (for coco, whatever),a swell I added a bit of magnesium nutrient by Cifo, a garden store brand. Trying to understand how to ScrOG. I built a small growbox with leftovers from my garage. Not a penny was spendt in this operation. Clones are still alive. Starting a new diary. Last night reading blogs I discovered 💡🌟🔆 Photone App 💡🌟🔆, a free grow light meter https://growlightmeter.com/download/ They also have a web guide to establish how much light your canopy needs in the moment https://growlightmeter.com/calculator/ . In pre flower it figured out I need 1100 umol of red LED light (calculation DLI). I adjusted my light height accordingly, It was too close. Very, very useful. Those guys in switzerland deserves a huge kudo. Day #42 Growth Is fast. I snapped a branch trying to ScrOG so I repaired It with wire, as I done with tomato before. Watered with some broth and my own nutrient I use in my garden. I defoliated a Bloom that was facing down. Humidity at 60%, I'm struggling with It a bit. Dehumidifier in the room Is now set at higher setting. Happy growing. Any advice is apreciated.

Nach dem switch auf 12/12 haben sie in in der letzten Woche ca um das dopellte gestreckt habe ein Netz eingezogen um die Höhe zu kontrollieren da ich nur begrenzt Platz nach oben habe bin schon jetzt gespannt wie sie sich weiterentwickeln werden 😁und in den nächsten Wochen werde ich nur noch ab und zu von den Money Maker berichten da es mir hauptsächlich um die 24k Gold geht😊

Starting out good... going in the tent soon. I still have to buy 2 components for ventilation... the inline fan and charcoal canister to cover what I hope will be smellin earthy and stinky and sweet very very soon. 6am 4/1 - Putting the tent up.. might not fit though.

Hey there. All photos and videos from flower day 27. Plants are developing pretty good. On flower day 26 (end of flower week 4) I started adding Green Sensation. See you next week.

Starting to get some nice purple colours on #4 buds and Ozz leaves! Not super visible on the video but looking really good. Also had an unpleasant surprise the other morning, due to wind gusts the support went out the pot and #4 straight bent to 90 degrees. Looks like it happened around 3/4am and I only saw it around 9am, so she got pretty roughened up but no actual damage to report. Same for Dorel, a brush fell on a lower branch but didn’t break anything. The learning here as it is the second time it happens, both time just before I water them: I suspect drier medium is less efficient in holding the plant when there is a lot of wind. Well well! In just 2 days she went from little purple to actually the whole plant changing color. Curious to see where it’ll go!

Hello everyone week 5 of flower has passed for this Cinderella Jack auto 👸🏼 For the feeding schedule i stopped feeding Power Roots and Pure Zym and started feeding Green Sensation 0,5/l Mars hydro SP-6500 power 75% have a great day and wish you all happy growing 😎👨‍🌾🏻
