Week 11 - Strawberry Gorilla Auto what a beautiful plant. This has to some of the best flower I’ve ever smelled in my life hands down. The smell is exactly like a Strawberry Donut. To be able to mix a strain to make it smell like this is truly mind blowing. My first grow is growing better than ever ! I’m going to let the pot dry another day. Then it will sit in 48hrs of darkness before I karate chop them. Happy growing everyone and good luck !

Yo guys whats up? Here is @cannagrowersiriuz Instagram account If you want so see more updates FRESH stuff just at the IG profile Officially is WEEK #3 counting germination So she is doing great for a photoperiod I think she is very fast Is actually taking on those autos in running. Lets see how she turns out to be So far so good giving them lots of love I have been taking care of them a lot Making sure light is at good distance Plus water is draining and soil is in between wet and dry so I keep pushing those roots Its hard to maintain temp LVL and humidity lvls sometimes at best conditions even tho we try and some other time is steady and that is due to weather in the region we live in because temp around here are very hot. Other than that she is doing awesome Pretty much growing on a LST already And kinda suercrop style She taking it good so she keeps developing Oh yeah we CHANGE pot and now we dont know how we gonna transplant her after but I guess we will figure it out One way or another but as it is We think it can stay there for at least 2 months from now while she fully develops before the huge pot..... I still think the best way of growing them is planting in the final pot at the beggining And so they wont suffer from transplant But I am already on the boat so I keep rowing as it is We go with the flow Blessings brothers I will try My best to keep THESE diaries up to date as fast as I can, since I am a father of an almost one year old boy and he is really energetic So it kinda gets my whole attention daily and consumes most of my days but thank God for him :) So yeah on top of that we have the girls Plus wife and yeah thats life So gotta chill with some buds right Haha thanks a lot brothers Thanks for your support we keep growing Good luck to you all And we hope we get to win something :3

She’s amazing! Idk what day she went to chop. My momma took care of everyone while we were on vacation. So she chopped for us. She survived spider mite treatments. She survived getting brutalized with the hose and the herb is still so beautifully dense and gassy. I’m so proud of her. Really beautiful 🌱 sloth tax because they are my spirit animal ❤️❤️

I topped and trained them two more times. I also lolipopped them, that is cut the bottom 2 sets of leaves and branches.

Nice and steady growth. Once I watered I can leave the ladies alone for a few days without having to be affraid of any problems. I'm still picking leaves when they are blocking any buds, but thats all I'm doing.

Chopped her at exactly 12 weeks old. She was covered completely in good sized and trichome laden flowers, absolutely no larf whatsoever. Fan leaves stuck out clearly and were quite easy to remove, minimal processing needed for this strain. Gives off the scent of kushy must and sweet fruit. Extremely easy grow, heavy feeder, and very easy to train out perfectly. I will grow this strain again soon.

Day 79. 3 liters of phed water goes in. She smells very fruity tropical, but if you eat fading sugar leaf stem - cheese, heavy, then sweet kush aftertaste deletes cheese ;))) Will be FIRE !!! Mars hydro TS1000 is doing wonderfull job, this girl is most beautiful from this run and she spent so much time under it. Happy Growing !!!

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape. More to come.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

I am not sure what the deal is with the Chibans. They look mutant to me maybe due to pollination. There is so much crystal forming up on them and they still look beautiful. Plant 1 is huge with big colas that are fragrant and very very sticky to the touch. Plant 2 looks the most normal as far as bud structure to me. She has not got the same flattened of tops but instead are more cone like . Also very very crystal heavy Clones 1 and 2 look like monsters to me. Their buds are bulbous and fat with a very flat round top and quite a bit larger then golf balls! I have never seen bud look like this but then I have never had pollination issues and watched the plants quite as much as I am at the moment. We will keep going with them and see what we get. I hope for some smokable bud and also some Sherbert banana seeds maybe🤪👍👍. Thanks for looking. Stay safe. Grow well.🌱🌱

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊.

9/3 Shook the plants off this morning and took a few pics and did a video. Let's see if it uploads. Plants are doing good. Toasted toffy is due for another plant doctor application tonight. It seems like I'm losing lots of leaves. Looking back on my other diaries I guess it's normal. BUT I could've had pest/pathogen problems then. I'm over thinking it. Toasted toffy only needs a few more weeks. It will definitely outvrun the disease. The nugs are super dense too. The plant in the 50 is loosing leaves faster than I'd like. It is also one of the furthest along. The big leaves that turn yellow look like it's a calcium/magnesium issue. The stalk and branches are all bright green and healthy looking. So are the flowers. It could be something below the soil. I couldve been overwatering but last time I waited until it drooped. It will be fine though. I'm happy with my results so far. Not my best or biggest year but I'm going to put in the work and Mae these plants produce the best quality cannabis that im able too. Also I think plant doctor may kill insects. K bicarb with dawn does too. I've found a few dead bugs like flies and pillars. Pillars actually seem to be gone. Not many moths either. Unless I see them I'm not going to treat them for it. This is that magical time where you get to watch the plant produce those beautiful flowers. Despite some small problems I'm very grateful for what I have. I've worked hard for it. 9/4 Watered everything but the sherb pie which was still heavy with leaves yellowing. It's tied for the furthest behind in flower with the seed in the 10. I treated the toasted toffy with 1/4 gallon (4tsp/gallon) of plant doctor. I avoided flowers as much as possible and tried to just get a few leaves. I used the rest on the soil. I just wanted it to absorb a little faster. That's why I sprayed the foliage. It's not 4 days it's 14 days when tje plant doctor just leaves behind a bunch of potassium and phosphorus after it's done its job. Can't be used in a 14 day interval with copper and I think that's what treats septoria best. I dontvknow if I can use that in flower. Doesn't really matter. Things are looking good. Plant Doctor and the K bicarb seem to be doing there job effectively as long as i stick to the application times. I made a short video but didn't upload. I'll try again but I may have some medical emergencies that need to be dealt with. If not I should defoliate and tie down some event horizon branches. I thought about treating the other event horizon as well. I'm not positive it has septoria but it wouldn't hurt anything to be practice. It AT LEAST has a couple suspucuous spots. I smelled a skunk as soon as I got out of my car. It can't get in my grow but I might put out traps to catch it. We'll see how it goes. Video seems to be uploading. It's at 31% so I'll wait for it. I think I've got like four or five weeks on my toasted toffy and one event horizon and the one in the 50 that I THINK is red runtz. That's good that I'll have different plants to harvest at different times. It's seeds from here on out though. It was hard to find info on some of the strains I'm growing but they all have ONE thing in common. They are EXOTIC and they are at least MODERATELY DIFFICULT to grow. AT LEAST lol. Last year I picked the right seefs and strains and it greatly helped. Still, if these are difficult strains to grow, then I'm doing a good job. EDIT: I WAS STONED BUT IM PRETTY SURE I TREATED THE PLANT IN THE 50 WITH PLANT DOCTOR. DIDNT SPRAY BUDS. TRIED TO GET THE LEAVES THEN USED THE REST ON THE SOIL. I REMEMBER BECAUSE A STREAM ACCIDENTLY HIT A COUPLE LEAVES ON THE HUGE PLANT IN THE 10. 9/5 Sherb Pie was light and drooping. It's not to far in flower and still seemed moist yesterday with a little bit of weight. I watered it a gallon. I defoliated a little but I need to go through that plant. I have a bunch of plants that need a little work. The 50 gal seed is losing lots of leaves. I must not be feeding it enough, overwatering or maybe theres some sort of lock out. The plant looks nice and healthy. Leaves just turn yellow and die. Looked like a calcium or magnesium deficiency but i saw a septoria spot. I wouldn't think I've over feed or locked out using the small amounts of nutes I've used. It will be time to feed again soon. It's in the middle of flowering and still has leaves. I'm hoping things work out. I just have an anxiety disorder and worry too much. I'm GOING To have a great harve! I just need to keep moving forward and putting in the work. 9/6 What a fucking shitty morning. I did research on how to keep skunks out of your garden. Because I smelled it and the neighbors shot a few. Dad put traps out and it caught one. It wasn't a no spray trap so I approached it with him. Both had tarps. I kept telling him to throw it while I was distracting it bur he got a cramp and only got it over half. The half away from my garden. It's pretty far and down in a field but still. We had talked all morning about how to release it. I offered to drive their dog to take it for a walk so his alcoholic girlfriend wouldn't spiteful put the dog on its run. It wouldn't be sprayed but I made it out like it would ruin my plants. Picked dad up and got him to the bathroom. In that 30 seconds the stupid bitch grabbed the dog and brought it outside despite me YELLING "Can't you wait 5 minutes!? We've been dealing with this all morning. I heard fuck you in my head and she did it anyway. Dog ran at the skunk barking and it sprayed. Not a lot but I was fucking pissed. She's a full blown alcoholic and doesn't like me around early or the fact that my old man's 80 and house is mine. Anyway I got back and there was NO SKUNK SMELL. AT ALL! I WATERED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE AND FED EVERYTHING BUT SHERB PIE. ILL FEED AND WATER THAT TOMORROW. WATERED A GALLON WITH A QUART OF FEED. Researched my strains found out they were all "difficult" to grow. One year ago to the Day I cut my first tenth planet. I got a couple close to a few weeks but the others will be later. If I can pull this off though I'll have some crazy quality! Grateful for what I have that's for sure! I doubled beastie bloom this time. We'll see how it goes.nothings uploading. I did some vids a pictures but I'll have to upload today. 9/7 I think it rained last night. I forgot to water and feed the sherb pie but I'll do it when I get back. I shook off the plants the best I could. I need to get the leaf blower out now and put it to use. Buds are swelling like crazy. GMOs are very tight flowers. Same with the event horizon. Rock hard nugs. With the gmo's I'm not worried. The were monster cropped so they have enough leaves even if some do die off. The toasted toffy only has like four weeks left. Same with the event horizon. The plant in the ten is the furthest behind but it's extremely healthy. I removed some leaves from the bottom and large fan leaves. The plant in the 50 I hope finishes before it loses all its leaves. I treated it with plant doctor and SOME people strip their plants but I don't. I'm grateful for what I've got. Won't be the biggest harvest but WHEN I make it to the finish line I will have some incredibly potent strains. I'm proud of myself to even get these to finish seeingvthe level of difficulty on cultivation. I'm trying to upload some stuff. We'll see. 9/8 Apparently it rained pretty hard last night. Took forever to go through and shake everything off and defoliate what needs it. Sherb pie is praying to the sky and almost totally purple. It's flowering so much more in the last couple days. Everything has. Even the one in the ten is stacking up! I defoliated most of what needed it and I was soaked. I noticed a branch on the middle gmo that was getting heavy and starting to break away from the trunk. It wad wobbly but I don't think there was a break un the Cambrian. I made a sling with rope (couldn't find zip ties) and I pulled it tight amd secured that branch to the tomato cage. GMO buds are hard as rocks. Everything is in overdrive. They liked that beastie bloom. I have cha ching but nothings ready for that yet I don't think. We'll the event horizon and toasted toffy might be I'll have to check. It's been beautiful today but not too hot. Lots of wind which is good. I'll upgrade supports as needed. Flowers are progressing at an amazing rate. Weather is supposed to be great the next few days. I'll keep this updated. 9/9 Had to shake the plants off. WATERED EVERYTHING BUT THE SHERB PIE WHICH WAS REALLY HEAVY. It's also lost a lot of leaves and the majority of leaves have turned purple. Toasted toffy and event horizon and red runts are pretty far into flower. I tried to take some pictures. Even the ten is blowing up! That looks like I'm going to switch to cha ching when flower gets further. Trichs are developing nicely on the ones further in flower. This year it's going to be quality over quantity. All these strains are ranked HARD to grow but have insane cannabinoid profiles and high THC %'s. So if I can keep it together for another month I'll be golden. Looking forward to it. This is the fun part. It's also the anxiety provoking part. I've learned a lot just since joining grow diaries.

Langsam bilden beide Terpene. Für mich sind Terpene der wichtigste Punkt bei Cannabis. Der Geschmack bzw. Terpene haben großen Einfluss auf die Wirkung, deshalb bin ich sehr auf das Terpenenprofil gespannt und ob ein Phenotyp vielleicht ein Keeper wird. Das ist nicht mein erster Run, aber die Vorfreude ist genauso groß wie beim ersten Mal. Ich denke ich konnte die Sorte Melonade Runtz (fem) bis hier hin schon ganz gut repräsentieren 💚🍀

Lots of defoliation to help with humidity levels. Flowering time now fingers crossed for nice big dense buds. Advanced nutrients in full use with a tiny cheap dehumidifier added but doesn’t seem to be getting humidity down to target levels yet so may need to invest in something better. 1 liter of water almost everyday and feedings are 3 times a week. Tuesday/ Thursday/ Saturday feeding schedules with nutrients added right to each plants water intake for the day.

Made a minor tweak with with the SCROG method on the CS strain this week, I removed the net completely to allow the stems to shoot straight up. Added molasses to my feeding this week, hopefully it does what I expect as the budding sites on both plants are beginning to thicken.

Cepa que creció de manera sana, es fuerte, rico y fuerte aroma cítrico/dulce. Preocuparse del olor si no tienen las condiciones adecuadas para cultivarla. Excelente experiencia, igual que siempre! Un gusto cultivar esta cepa, la volvería a cultivar en un SOG !

Let’s Go Day 22 from seed for these 5 Ogreberry Autos from @twenty20mendocino and Bruce Banner from @fastbudsgenetics !! Today we turned the Scorpion up to full power and raised it to 38 1/2 inches above pots and getting a reading of 520 - 530 par ! gonna let the babies grow into the light now over the next few weeks till they hit into flower an keep a steady eye on it Incase I got to raise the light higher or lower !! Air temp an humidity has been great , stayin from 70-75 degrees through the day an humidity is staying around 58% ! So far so good Let’s grow lil Babies let’s grow!!! Hope you all enjoy an are ready for another amazing week ! Peace love an positive vibes to all you Growmies out there Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻keep them eyes peeled for next week y’all !! If there’s any questions please ask me ! Thank you all. 💚💯

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 The Tiny One That Refused To Give Up If I were growing only two or three plants, I'm going to be completely honest... I probably wouldn't have kept her. Pink Rosay Pheno B is tiny. Not small. Not compact. Tiny. She's easily among the smallest plants I've ever grown. And that's exactly what makes her so interesting. Because this is the whole point of the 8×8 Adventure. I'm growing twelve different genetics side by side, and instead of selecting only the plants that immediately impress me, I'm giving every phenotype the opportunity to tell me who she is. And this little lady? She's definitely telling us. She isn't going to produce the biggest harvest in the tent. She probably won't even come close. But she's healthy. She's flowering. She's developing beautifully. And she's still here. Sometimes that's enough reason to keep watching. 🌸 Week 5 Flower – Tiny, But Still Building The stretch is essentially behind her now, and her personality couldn't be clearer. Pink Rosay Pheno B has remained incredibly compact throughout the entire grow. Her nodes are tightly packed. Her branches remain short. Her entire structure feels almost miniature compared with the plants surrounding her. But when you look closely... There are flowers everywhere. Those tiny branches are carrying developing buds, and the white pistils continue appearing across the flowering sites. She's slowly turning this miniature framework into a miniature flowering plant. And there's something strangely beautiful about that. She isn't trying to become something she's not. She's simply doing what her genetics told her to do. ✂️ Defoliation – Opening The Little Lady Up Just like her sister, Pink Rosay Pheno B also received a selective defoliation this week. Again, this wasn't because she was unhealthy. Quite the opposite. She's looking beautiful. The reason was simply that her extremely compact architecture creates a very dense little package of foliage and flowers. With so much plant compressed into such a small vertical space, selectively removing some unnecessary leaves helps open the structure. The goal isn't to strip the plant. It's not about removing healthy leaves just because we can. And it's certainly not about making the plant look pretty for a photograph. The idea is to create a little more space between foliage, flowers, light and moving air. I removed leaves that were contributing to congestion and cleaned up portions of the lower and interior structure where development was unlikely to justify keeping excessive foliage. But I didn't remove everything. There are still flowers down there. And I'm leaving some of them. Because this is an experiment. I want to see what this tiny phenotype can actually do. 💡 Let The Photons Move With a plant this compact, light management becomes particularly interesting. The Future of Grow Black Series provides the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system adds another source of illumination deeper in the room. But there's an important distinction here. Adding light doesn't automatically mean every flower needs to be exposed directly to it. The plant still has its own architecture. Leaves overlap. Flowers sit underneath other leaves. Some areas naturally receive less light. By selectively opening the canopy, we're simply allowing more of the available photons to travel through the structure rather than being intercepted immediately by layers of foliage. It's not about making the plant brighter. It's about making the light distribution more useful. And with a plant this tiny and dense, every little opening makes a difference to the way light and air move through her. 🌱 The Smallest Plant With A Big Lesson This is probably the part of her story I appreciate most. If you only looked at her height, you could easily conclude that something went wrong. But nothing went wrong. She simply expressed herself differently. That's one of the reasons growing multiple phenotypes is so valuable. Put two sisters next to each other and suddenly the differences become impossible to ignore. One can stretch. One can stay short. One can develop large branches. Another can produce a miniature architecture. Same genetic family. Completely different personalities. And instead of asking: "Why isn't she like her sister?" I prefer asking: "What can she show me if I let her finish?" That's the experiment. And that's why she's still here. 🌼 Flowers, Pistils & Personality Despite her size, the flowering development is genuinely beautiful. The flowers are becoming more defined, with fresh white pistils continuing to emerge from the developing calyxes. The deep green foliage provides an incredible contrast against those bright white hairs. And the more I look at her, the more I realise that her size is actually part of her charm. She's almost like a miniature version of a full-sized flowering plant. Everything is there. Just compressed. Tiny branches. Tiny leaves. Tiny flowers. Tiny structure. But the same biological process is happening. She's still capturing light. She's still producing energy. She's still moving water and nutrients. She's still building flowers. And she's still telling us what her genetics are capable of. ❄️ She's Still Getting Frostier Another thing that keeps this little plant interesting is the resin development. She's beginning to show that frosted appearance across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves, adding another layer to what is already an incredibly attractive little plant. I don't expect her to suddenly turn into a giant producer. But I do think she could produce something interesting in terms of flower quality. And if the final amount ends up being very small? That's okay too. I've already been thinking that her eventual harvest may make more sense as a small personal extraction project rather than trying to treat her like a traditional high-yield plant. Something like an ice-water wash could give those flowers another purpose. But that's a decision for much later. For now... She's growing. And that's what matters. 💧 Consistency Is Still The Strategy The beauty of this phenotype is that she hasn't needed special treatment. She's been receiving the same general cultivation philosophy as the rest of the room while being observed individually. Hand watering gives me the opportunity to assess her every day and make sure her needs are being met without forcing her into a feeding strategy designed around a larger plant. The important thing isn't trying to make her bigger at this point. That chapter is over. Now the objective is simply to allow her to finish as strongly and naturally as possible. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's producing resin. So we keep the environment stable and let her do the rest. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a remarkably stable environment for all these different phenotypes. Current conditions remain around: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm This is one of the things I love most about this project. Twelve different plants. Twelve different personalities. One environment. And every phenotype gets to show us how she responds to the same cultivation philosophy. 👀 Looking Ahead – Let's See What She's Got At this point, I'm not expecting miracles from Pink Rosay Pheno B. And I don't mean that negatively. I mean that realistically. She's tiny. Her total flower mass will naturally be limited by the amount of plant she's carrying. But that's okay. The goal now isn't to turn her into something she's not. It's to see how beautifully she can finish as herself. The flowers should continue swelling. The pistils will eventually begin their transition toward maturity. Resin production should continue increasing. And that little compact canopy should slowly transform from a collection of tiny flowers into a finished miniature harvest. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she won't. Either way... She's already taught me something. ❤️ Final Thoughts – The Little Lady That Stayed Pink Rosay Pheno B is probably never going to win a competition for plant height. She isn't going to dominate the canopy. She isn't going to produce a mountain of flowers. And honestly? That's okay. Because this project was never only about growing the biggest plant. It's about observing genetics. It's about giving different phenotypes the room to express themselves. It's about learning that sometimes the plant you would have removed from the garden is the one that ends up teaching you something you wouldn't have learned otherwise. If I had only been growing a couple of plants, I might have looked at this tiny Pink Rosay early in the grow and decided that her journey wasn't worth the space. But I didn't. I gave her a chance. And now she's standing there, covered in flowers, getting frostier every week and quietly proving that she still has a story to tell. She may be the smallest plant in the room. She may produce the smallest harvest. She may eventually become a tiny jar of flowers... Or perhaps an even tinier ice-water experiment. But before any of that happens, she deserves exactly what every other phenotype in this project receives: Time. Time to grow. Time to flower. Time to express herself. And time to show us what she can do. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining environmental control and everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every plant doesn't need to be the biggest. Every phenotype doesn't need to be a winner. Sometimes... the smallest ones simply need someone willing to let them finish their story. And this little lady isn't finished yet. 🌸 Until next week... Tiny plant. Big personality. Still here. Still shining. 🌱✨ Growers Love and happy growing! 💚

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.
