This week was quite unspectacular except that my pH was drifting low and I had to counteract. Removed some lower leaves and branches that were only poorly developed.

She had small defoliation as to battle humidity but she is very happy looking off to 12/12 now and go from there

To think people were telling me to chop her off because she looked deformed when she was young! glad I didn't listen to them as she turned out a beautiful plant! 100g of really nice dark purple bud. Really great strain, grew well without much care and produced really intresting looking buds.

We are getting close to the finish line. She never got big but she did produce what she could. She smells absolutely amazing. I can wait for harvest day. The next one I’m growing indoors for sure. The heat was not nice to this one.

The end of the fourth week. Only 2,5 to 3 weeks to go, since this is the FAST version of Gelato 33 by Advanced seeds. Last week temps were better, so that was a lot better to manage. The smell is a different story. We are trying to combat it as we speak with a double filter which my friend still had from a previous grow. The ladies are performing, however, because this is a monstercrop with many budsites, none of them will be very big. We anticipate a lot of cutting come harvest time. The stickieness and smell (cookies, dough, herbs, spices, gingerbread, vanilla) promise a lot to make up for that hopefully!! The middle plant that seemed to go fastest, now looks like to have the hardest time flowering. Her more advanced stage of flowering as a bigger clone, made it harder for her to return to veg, which she never really did. This seems to make her want to rush to the finish, as she is already browning the pistils. Also these buds seem more flakey, popcorny. As if the many flowers and grapelike bundled growth was too much for her. I put the light a little closer, to help her fatten up in the time she is given. I never expected the two 'runts' to outperform the mighty middle clone, but hey seem to fatten up and age much more nicely. So for now, prelimenary tip: make sure all your plants are completely revegged before flowering and consider that faster flowering species might have some ruderalis ancestry that might siderail all your lighting intentions and remains in flower what ever the growers lighting schedule. So with at least two more weeks for the two outer plants, and well see how many for the middle one, we are going to make them as comfortable as possible the final push of this flowering. Thank you for following and see you next week!!

No se cómo expresar mi felicidad después de casi 3 años sin poder cultivar consecutivamente he podido cosechar esta belleza gracias a @blacktunaco por la K.O una genética llena de resina con flores compactas. Cometiendo errores desde el principio se pudo obtener una excelente planta corrigiendo todo para así mejorar el aprendizaje continuo. Se dieron 12 días de lavado de raíz y 3 de estos estuvo expuesto a lluvia constante durante los 3 días por tal razón se decidió cosechar para evitar dañar las flores

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 💗 The Little Dwarf That I’m Very Glad I Kept Some plants make you stop because they're enormous. Some make you stop because they're covered in huge flowers. And then there are plants that make you stop because you simply can't believe how much personality they've managed to fit into such a tiny body. Pink Rosay Pheno B is one of those plants. She's still a dwarf. 😂 There is no point pretending otherwise. She's tiny. She's compact. She's becoming incredibly dense. And honestly... I absolutely love her. When I look back at the beginning of this grow, I have to admit something. If I had only been growing a few plants, I probably would never have given a phenotype like this the opportunity to finish. She's just too small. There would have been a temptation to look at her, compare her to the others, and think: "Maybe this one isn't worth the space." But that's exactly why I love having twelve different genetics in the 8×8 Adventure. I didn't remove her. I gave her time. And now? She's standing there covered in flowers and frost, looking absolutely adorable. And I'm very, very happy I kept her. 🌸 Week 9 – Still Tiny. Still Beautiful. Pink Rosay Pheno B is currently around 63 cm. Sixty-three. 😂💗 Compared with some of the giants in this garden, she's practically a bonsai. But here's the funny thing. When I look at her now, I don't really see the height anymore. I see the plant. And the plant is beautiful. Her structure is extremely compact, the internodes are tightly packed, and the flowers are becoming increasingly dense throughout that little framework. She's not wasting much space. She's not reaching endlessly upward. She's simply putting everything she has into the structure she already built. And that's becoming her signature. Tiny frame. Dense flowers. Big personality. 💗 The Dwarf Is Getting Dense This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week. She's becoming really dense. The flowers are no longer looking like little isolated flowering sites scattered across a miniature plant. They're becoming proper little clusters. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are progressing. And the resin is becoming increasingly visible across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. There's a lovely contrast developing between the dark green foliage and the increasingly frosty flowers. And honestly... she looks fantastic. Not fantastic for a dwarf. Just fantastic. That's an important distinction. Because I don't want to judge her by the expectations I'd have for a much larger plant. I'm judging her for what she is. And what she is becoming is a beautiful, compact, heavily flowering little plant. ❄️ The Frost Is Starting to Take Over And this is where things get particularly interesting. The frost is becoming much more obvious. The flowers have that increasingly sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and look again. Then closer again. And then... "Okay, I need the macro lens." 😂📸 The resin is becoming part of her personality now. It's no longer something you have to search for. You can see it. And I have a feeling she's going to become even more interesting as she continues toward maturity. I wouldn't be surprised if, toward the end, she becomes one of those little plants where the amount of frost makes you completely forget how small she actually is. She's certainly heading in that direction. 🌿 A Tiny Plant With Serious Density One thing I really appreciate about this phenotype is how compressed everything is. On a large plant, you can have flowers separated by considerable distances. Here? Everything is happening within a very small space. Branches are short. Nodes are close. Flowers are packed into the architecture. And now those flowers are gaining density. It's almost like watching a miniature version of a full flowering plant. Everything is there. Just... smaller. 😂 And that's what makes photographing her so much fun. A wide photograph tells you the story: "Look how tiny she is." Then you get the camera close. And suddenly... "Holy shit, look at those flowers." That's Pink Rosay Pheno B. ✂️ The Canopy – Now We Let Her Be We already gave this little lady her selective defoliation when the canopy needed opening. The objective was never to strip her. It was to remove unnecessary congestion and give the remaining structure a little more room for light and airflow. Now? I'm leaving her alone. She's doing exactly what I want her to do. The remaining foliage is healthy. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming denser. And there is no reason to start interfering just because we have scissors available. 😂 This is another lesson this tiny plant has taught me. Sometimes cultivation is intervention. Sometimes cultivation is restraint. And right now, restraint wins. Let her finish. 💡 Small Canopy, Big Photon Story The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the primary light from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy system remains part of the overall flowering environment. With a plant this compact, the relationship between light and structure is fascinating. There isn't a huge vertical distance between the different parts of the plant. Instead, everything is compressed into this little flowering package. And as the flowers become denser, I'm very interested to see how she finishes under the same environmental philosophy as the much larger plants surrounding her. She's another reminder that light doesn't dictate phenotype. It gives the plant an opportunity. The genetics decide what happens with that opportunity. And Pink Rosay Pheno B decided: "I'm going to stay tiny." 😂 Fair enough. I respect the commitment. 🌱 The Experiment Is Working Exactly As Intended This little plant is one of the best examples of why I wanted to run this 8×8 Adventure the way I did. If I had selected plants purely based on early size, she probably wouldn't have made the cut. And I would have missed this. I would have missed watching an extreme compact phenotype develop. I would have missed seeing how much flower she can actually carry inside that miniature architecture. And most importantly... I would have missed the lesson. Not every plant needs to be a monster. Not every phenotype needs to produce enormous numbers. Sometimes the value of a plant is simply in what it teaches you. And this little girl has already taught me plenty. 💗 The Sister Comparison Is Fascinating Her sister is a completely different story. Same genetic line. Same room. Same general cultivation philosophy. And yet... look at them. One is compact. The other is larger. One has a very compressed architecture. The other expresses herself differently. One looks almost miniature. The other carries herself like a more conventional flowering plant. And that's exactly what phenotype hunting is about. You don't grow two sisters to make them identical. You grow them to discover how different they can become. Pink Rosay Pheno B has certainly answered that question. Very different. And I'm glad she did. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current conditions remain stable: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: approximately 63 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1 L per plant / 24h The feeding program remains centered around the same flowering nutrition approach used throughout the project. No unnecessary changes. No chasing numbers. She's developing beautifully, so consistency remains the priority. 🌬️ Tiny Doesn't Mean Forgotten One of the things I really enjoy about hand-watering this plant is that she gets exactly the same attention as the giants. She may be tiny. But she's still part of the experiment. Every time I approach her, I get to look at the flowers. Check the foliage. Watch the resin. Look for changes. And because she's so compact, it's actually incredibly easy to observe her closely. There aren't hundreds of centimetres of plant to inspect. Everything is right there. She's basically saying: "Come on. You can't miss me." 😂💗 And I don't. 🔭 Looking Ahead – I Have a Feeling About This One I'm not expecting a huge producer. Let's be realistic. She's 63 cm. She's a dwarf phenotype. Her total flowering structure is naturally limited by the amount of plant she has. But that's not what I'm watching anymore. I'm watching quality. I'm watching density. I'm watching resin development. I'm watching how those flowers mature. And I'm very curious to see where she ends up. Because she has already exceeded what I expected from her. She survived. She flowered. She developed. She became dense. And now she's getting increasingly frosty. That's already a win. And who knows... perhaps by the end of this journey, she will become an even more interesting little specimen than I expected. 💗 Maybe I Should Have Kept More Dwarfs This is something I've been thinking about. If this had been a smaller garden, I probably wouldn't have grown a phenotype like this. And that's exactly why having a larger project is so valuable. You get to see the extremes. You get to see the weird ones. The tall ones. The short ones. The explosive ones. The quiet ones. The strange ones. The beautiful ones. And sometimes... the tiny ones. Pink Rosay Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category. She's not here to win the height competition. She's not here to dominate the tent. She's here to show us what happens when her genetics decide: "We're going small." And honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. ❤️ Final Thoughts – The Little Dwarf I Almost Didn't Keep I think this might be my favourite part of Pink Rosay Pheno B's story. Not how big she is. Not how much she might produce. Not whether she can compete with her sister. It's the fact that she almost wouldn't have had this opportunity. If I had fewer plants, I might have looked at her and decided she wasn't worth the space. But because this is the 8×8 Adventure... she stayed. And now? I'm really glad she did. Because this little dwarf has become one of the plants I genuinely enjoy looking at. She's cute as fuck. 😂💗 She's tiny. She's compact. She's becoming extremely dense. She's getting frostier. She's beautifully structured. And she's completely comfortable being exactly what she is. I don't need her to become a giant. I don't need her to suddenly explode in size. I don't need her to prove anything. I just want to see her finish. And I have a feeling that when she does, whatever she gives us is going to be very, very nice. Perhaps later, when everything is finished and the entire garden has told its story, we'll decide what makes the most sense for this little harvest. But that's a story for another day. Right now... she's still growing. Still shining. Still getting frostier. Still being the tiniest girl in the room. And still making me smile every time I look at her. 🌸💗❄️ Pink Rosay Pheno B. The little dwarf. The tiny survivor. The compact beauty. The one I almost didn't keep... and the one I'm now very happy I did. So let's give her the spotlight. Because she has absolutely earned it. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the project, TrolMaster for the environmental control, and of course to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype doesn't have to be enormous. Every plant doesn't have to be a champion. Sometimes the smallest plant in the room gives you one of the biggest lessons. And sometimes... the little dwarf becomes one of your favourites. This one certainly became one of mine. Until next week... Tiny plant. Huge personality. Getting seriously frosty. 💗❄️ Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

11/30-12/5: Major stretch from the Muscadine Wine's and one of the Sucrose Overdose. I supercropped and tied down the apex on the big SO and I'll probably have to supercrop both MW's before it's over. The Platonium and GG4 aren't stretching vertically nearly as quickly, but have massive leaves and huge diameters (problem children). Sugar Bref is a shorty, like the Berry Bomb, but both have very thick stalks and may, yet, do some stretching. Both MW's and the big SO not only have red stems, but they have red leaf veins and the outer edges of the fan leaves have a nice pale-green to red gradient coloration....swexy!😍

this week was a lil challenging, had to get out of LST due to the fact that I broke a branch and that just tripped me off and I took off all my ties , apart from that i started giving her bloom products because I noticed a few hairs. I started applying tiresias mist to one of my branches so I can get pollen sacks to produce my own fem seeds, as I plan on crossing my fortune cookies autoflower with my ak48 autoflower and creating a new strain called "DRAKO" AUTOFLOWER well till next update . O.G. Bang Bang !! out.....

GMO Cookies — Week 11 (Flower) “Served with Extra Curiosity” This week wasn’t about doing more. It was about seeing more. And sometimes… that changes everything. ⸻ 🔬 Photo Stacking — What it is & why now This update goes deeper than usual. We explored focus stacking (photo stacking) — a technique where multiple images, each focused at a different depth, are merged into one ultra-detailed image. * 20–25 frames → standard macro depth * 80–100+ → high detail * 200+ frames → extreme resolution, full structure visibility Why now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Structure is set ➡️ Growth slows down ➡️ Detail becomes everything There’s less to do… and more to observe, understand, and appreciate. We’re no longer just growing. We’re studying. ⸻ 🌱 Quick Recap — How did we get here 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Plants shaped themselves under flowering conditions from day one. What we see now is the result of: * Early root establishment * Stable environment * Consistent feeding * Minimal interference No chasing. No forcing. Just letting the plant express. ⸻ 🌿 The Room — Stability over control Conditions remain intentionally consistent: * Temp: ~26°C day / 18°C night * RH: ~60% * pH: ~6.5 * EC: ~2.0 * CO₂: ~1000 ppm Everything is guided by plant feedback (leaf EPD) — not by rigid charts. At this stage, stability matters more than perfection. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition — Supporting, not pushing Current feeding: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro Balanced, consistent, predictable. We’re not trying to “boost” anymore — we’re maintaining the conditions for proper finishing. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes — The real story This is where the stacking work pays off. With the naked eye, we see frost. With macro stacking, we see architecture. * Trichome heads forming and swelling * Density across sugar leaves and calyxes * Early signs of maturity variation within the same bud Not all trichomes develop at the same speed — and now we can actually see that clearly. This is where observation becomes knowledge. ⸻ 🌸 Bud Development & Stacking The plants are doing exactly what they should now: * Vertical growth has stopped * Bud stacking continues steadily * Density increasing day by day No explosive changes — just refinement and consolidation. This is the quiet phase… but it’s one of the most important ones. ⸻ 🎥 Studio Work & Branch Sacrifice We took a branch to the studio for detailed work. Was it a sacrifice? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. That branch gave us: * High-level macro insight * Controlled lighting shots * Focus-stacked visuals that reveal what’s usually hidden Sometimes, giving a little… gives a lot back. ⸻ 🧠 Why macro now? Because this is the phase where: ➡️ Doing less = doing more ➡️ Interference can do more harm than good ➡️ Observation becomes the main tool Macro photography allows us to: * Study ripening progression * Understand resin development * Train the eye for future harvest timing It’s not just content. It’s education. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued trichome swelling * Increased bud density * More visible ripening signals (pistil changes, trichome shifts) * Subtle but important daily progress We’re entering the decision-making window soon. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No more vertical growth * No drastic structural changes * No need for heavy intervention At this point, less input = better outcome. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone walking this journey with us: * The OGs who’ve been here since day one * The new eyes just discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent supporters * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind these expressions And the plants themselves… This week wasn’t about growing bigger. It was about seeing deeper.

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.

Rückblickend war zwei mal düngen mit 100% ein wenig zu viel. Die Blattspitzen waren hier und da etwas mitgenommen. Es wird wohl in Zukunft auf zwei mal die Woche mit 75% hinauslaufen und mal gucken ob die Ladys das besser verkraften. Das erste PH-Messgerät was den Wert nicht korrekt angezeigt hat war letztendlich nicht die große Hilfe. Das passiert in Zukunft auch nicht mehr. Aus den kleinen Fehlern konnte man doch recht viel mitnehmen :) Trotzdem haben die Ladys alles gut überstanden und haben einfach riesig viel Spaß gemacht.

🌱 Week 1 Update: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco Journey 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! The Mentha de Croco sprouts are officially a week in, and they’re already showing off their unique personality, each one growing at its own pace. They’re rocking some funky vibes and loving life inside the dome! Here’s a full update on their progress, care, and setup for Week 1. Living Environment: The Humidity Dome Setup The seedlings are living in a humidity dome, where we’re keeping the relative humidity (RH) close to 100%. This level of RH mimics a tropical environment, creating the ideal conditions for delicate young plants that need extra hydration support as they begin to develop roots and leaves. Why High Humidity? • Encourages Strong Root Development: At nearly 100% RH, plants focus on root growth while pulling in moisture directly from the air, helping them establish themselves early on. • Protects from Stress: The high humidity reduces transpiration (water loss through leaves), which prevents drying and keeps seedlings hydrated. • Promotes Healthy Leaf Growth: With constant access to moisture, the leaves expand smoothly, giving each plant a strong start in the vegetative phase. Growth Status & Observations 🌱 These little mutants are showing some funky characteristics and growing at their own unique pace—a perfect reminder that no two plants are the same! Each seedling has sprouted its initial set of leaves, and I’m seeing great promise in their vigor and resilience. Key Observations: • Color: The seedlings are a healthy green, with some displaying slight variances in shade—typical of unique genetics like Mentha de Croco. • Structure: Leaves are developing steadily, with short internodes (the space between sets of leaves) that hint at nice, compact growth patterns as they continue. • Energy: Each plant seems to be finding its rhythm, which is a beautiful thing to watch! Some are taking their time, while others are diving right into rapid growth. Nutrients & Supplements 💧 For this first week, I’m keeping it light on nutrients, letting the seedlings draw what they need from the Root Riots and the remaining seed stores. However, I’ve continued using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster, both at 1ml/L, to support foundational growth. Why These Nutrients? • Aptus Regulator: Adds silicon to fortify cell walls, giving the seedlings extra strength to handle environmental changes. Even under the dome, this helps build resilience. • Aptus Startbooster: Supplies essential microbes and root stimulators, setting up these little ones for explosive root growth once they’re ready to venture outside the dome. Lighting: FOG LED & Environmental Control 💡 I’ve kept the Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED dimmed to around 200 PPFD to avoid overwhelming these tender seedlings with too much light. They’re getting just enough energy to support healthy photosynthesis without stressing them in their early stages. Lighting Benefits at Low Intensity: • Prevents Stretching: With the lower PPFD, plants stay compact and focused on root and leaf development rather than reaching for the light. • Supports Early Photosynthesis: The FOG LED’s balanced spectrum provides all the wavelengths these seedlings need to kick off photosynthesis and grow with vitality. Controlled through the TrolMaster Tent X, the lighting schedule is consistent and stable. With this controller, I can manage humidity, lighting, and temperature settings all from one place, ensuring the environment stays perfect for these little ones. Reflection & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡 Week 1 is about creating a stress-free environment for seedlings to adjust and establish themselves. Here’s a bit of wisdom for anyone embarking on a similar grow: 💧 Humidity & Hydration: High humidity is a seedling’s best friend. Keep your dome or grow area humid for strong, happy plants. 💡 Light Management: Keep lighting low to encourage compact growth and let those roots dig in. Adjust lighting gradually as they grow to avoid any shock. 🌱 Patience with Genetics: Each plant has its own rhythm, especially with unique genetics like these. Let them show you what they’re made of without pushing too fast. Shout Outs & Community Love 💚 Much love to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for the nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED, and TrolMaster for the environmental control. Big shout out to everyone following this journey—it’s always a blast sharing with you all. Let’s keep the positive energy flowing and watch these seedlings turn into something amazing together! Stay tuned for Week 2 updates—more growth, more funk, and more growers’ love!

Noticed these little ones where hurting a bit and needed some more feed. The one week the runoff was quite high but the ec going in was not. guess that has been fixed, after feeding them they started to green up more and look a bit more healthy. went from a 0.6 to a 1.2 ec in feed ppm scale is 500. the lightly purple tinted plant has the most height out of all three and is on the far right, the darkest purple is the shortest on the far left and the green one is only a bit taller located in the middle. Other then underfeeding they seem to be doing quite well, will keep and eye on them and monitor for thrips and aphids. little fuckers where spotted on a Ganja farmer plant just a few feet down. Also uploaded some of the little critters in the garden pollinating my things and eating pests.
