I had to switch the plants, the fan was too close. Both plants in pre-flower. The light was raised and the DLI adjusted. I super cropped the tallest just for the hight.

Your support is very important to me. The day after I updated the last week of the diary, it was time to transplant the plants into a larger bucket. I will show you how to use cheap beer glasses to transplant your plants. You can watch it on the first video. When I transplanted plants, I additionally added mycorrhiza to a large bucket. One of the "LSD-feminized" plants still shows slow growth, despite the fact that I decided to highlight its full spectrum LED. I also added basic nutrition, root stimulators and growth stimulators, in addition to humic acids. I plan to make many clones of these plants and start a new diary in another tent, and then move these plants to a small tent. If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diary.

The smell is pretty pungent and skunky. With a citrus smell if you squeeze the stem. Started the flush this week pretty excited for the harvesting. I'm at the 9th week of flowering. And I think 10 should be enough. I wanna thank @TheBudWhisperer for helping me with all my questions

๐Ÿ‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia The Slow Girl Is Still Stealing The Spotlight ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟโœจ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Still stunning. Still green. Still developing. Still completely herself. And... slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is simply no other way to say it. She's taking her sweet time. Her very, very sweet time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ But here's the thing... She's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. She's developing those gorgeous floral structures. She's producing beautiful calyxes. She's covered in fresh white hairs. She's building her flowers. She's evolving. She's just doing it at a pace that is noticeably different from almost everybody else in this room. And honestly? I love it. Because she is such a perfect example of something this entire 8ร—8 Adventure has been trying to demonstrate: Same room. Same environment. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different timing. Different expression. Different story. And Passion Fruitz is writing hers at her own speed. So this week... we're not rushing her. We're not comparing her against anybody else's calendar. We're simply giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘โœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ SLOW AS FUCK, BEAUTIFUL AS EVER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Passion Fruitz continues to move forward. Slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Very slowly. But definitely forward. And I think that's the important distinction. She's not stuck. She's not sitting there doing nothing. She's developing. She's just doing everything on Passion Fruitz time. Look closely at the photographs and you'll see it. The flowers continue to develop. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still everywhere. The floral structures are becoming more defined. And the plant continues to look beautiful. She's simply not following the same schedule as some of the other girls. And that's perfectly fine. Because plants don't carry calendars. They carry genetics. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“… And her genetics are clearly saying: "Relax... I'll get there." ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE GIRL WHO REFUSES TO RUSH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If this girl has taught me anything, it's patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ I've watched other plants move ahead. I've watched flowering accelerate. I've watched flowers begin changing. I've watched other girls start looking much closer to the final stages. And Passion Fruitz? She's basically sitting there with a cup of tea. "Yeah, yeah... I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜• And honestly... fair enough. Because she's giving us something just as valuable as speed: A different expression. She's allowing us to see how the same room can produce completely different flowering rhythms. That's one of the reasons I love having all these individual diaries. If you only saw one plant, you might think: "Why is she moving so slowly?" But when you see the entire room... you realize: She's not doing anything wrong. She's simply different. And that's exactly what we wanted to observe. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ BEAUTIFUL CALYXES, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowers are becoming the real stars of the show now. And honestly... they're gorgeous. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘ The calyxes are becoming increasingly visible within the developing flowers, creating more definition and texture throughout the flowering sites. And then you have those beautiful white pistils. So many of them. Fresh. Bright. Reaching outward from the developing flowers. They give the plant that unmistakable look of continued floral development. And I absolutely love photographing them. Because when you get close... you start seeing the architecture inside the flower. It's not just: "There's a bud." It's: "Look at all those individual structures coming together." Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Layers upon layers of development. And Passion Fruitz is doing all of it... at her own pace. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? THE WHITE HAIRS ARE STILL TELLING US A STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One of the things I keep coming back to with this girl is her pistils. They are still beautifully white and prominent. And that's another visual reminder that she's continuing to develop. We're not seeing her suddenly race through every stage simply because the calendar says Week 12. Instead, she's continuing to produce fresh-looking floral structures and pistils while slowly building the flowers underneath them. That's important. The plant isn't required to match the visual timeline of another plant simply because they share the same room. She's showing us her own progression. And that's what we're documenting. The white hairs aren't just decoration. They're part of the visual story of the flowers developing. And right now... Passion Fruitz has a very beautiful story to tell. ?๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER SNAPSHOT IN TIME โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is exactly why I love taking these photographs. Because if you only looked at Passion Fruitz once every few weeks, you might think: "Well, she looks pretty similar." But put the photographs side by side... and suddenly you see it. The flowers are changing. The structures are becoming more defined. The plant is maturing. The floral sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils are evolving. The resin continues developing. It's not necessarily dramatic. It's gradual. And that's what makes documenting a slow phenotype so interesting. We're capturing the tiny steps. The small changes. The subtle evolution. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually... those tiny changes become a completely different plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ SHE'S SLOW โ€“ NOT STAGNANT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I want to emphasize this because it's one of the easiest things to misunderstand when comparing plants. Slow does not automatically mean something is wrong. Passion Fruitz is a perfect example. She's slower than many of the other plants in the room. But look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's producing pistils. She's developing calyxes. She's building structure. She's continuing to evolve. So I'm not interested in forcing her to move faster simply because another plant is further ahead. Her pace is part of her phenotype. And that's something worth documenting rather than trying to erase. This is the 8ร—8 Adventure. We're not trying to make everybody identical. We're trying to see what everybody does. And Passion Fruitz is giving us one hell of a lesson in patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is still one of my favourite parts of this experiment. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutritional foundation. And yet... different clocks. Some plants move quickly. Some plants take longer. Some develop one way. Some develop another. Some get large. Some stay compact. Some stack quickly. Some take their time. And Passion Fruitz? She's operating on her own calendar. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“…๐Ÿ‘ But that's exactly what makes her valuable to this project. She's showing us that "Week 12" doesn't necessarily mean every plant should look the same. Week number is a reference point. The plant itself tells the story. And her story is: "I'm still building." โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESPONSE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course, the lighting environment hasn't been specially changed for her. She's receiving the same upgraded room lighting as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug and approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a lot of available light. And Passion Fruitz is doing what she wants with it. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ The photons don't know she's the slow girl. They arrive. Her leaves capture them. The plant processes that energy. And she decides where that energy goes. Growth. Maintenance. Flower development. Everything happening inside this beautiful girl is her response to the environment. And her response is very much: "Give me time." ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE CAPABILITY, CONTROLLED OUTPUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The additional Future of Grow fixtures have also been a great part of this experiment because they give us more capability without forcing us to use maximum output. We don't need to run everything flat out just because we can. We have the capacity. We can control the output. We can measure what the plants are receiving. And we can find a practical operating point. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Passion Fruitz gets to enjoy the same artificial sun as the rest of the jungle. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for providing those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. It's been fascinating watching twelve completely different plants interpret the same lighting environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE PLANT DOESN'T NEED ME TO FORCE HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is probably the biggest lesson from Passion Fruitz. At this point... I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her look like another plant. I'm not trying to force her into somebody else's timeline. My job is much simpler. Observe. Check. Provide what she needs. Watch the environment. Monitor irrigation. Monitor nutrition. Look at the flowers. Look at the leaves. And if something genuinely needs attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her grow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ This girl has already shown us that she knows what she's doing. She just prefers to do it slowly. Very slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ STARTING TO WIND THINGS DOWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As we're moving into the later part of flowering, the nutritional strategy is also beginning to change. We're starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like going from: "Everything is running normally today." to: "Zero nutrition tomorrow." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. A little less again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the later stages. Passion Fruitz is still actively developing. She's still green. She's still producing flowers. She's still producing fresh pistils. She's still working. So we're not interested in slamming the brakes on her simply because the calendar is advancing. We're beginning the reduction progressively and watching the plant. That's the approach I like. Controlled. Gradual. Observational. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WHY GRADUAL REDUCTION MAKES SENSE TO ME โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The important thing here is that we're not treating the end of the cycle like an on/off switch. Plants don't suddenly stop functioning because we've reached an arbitrary week number. They continue responding to their environment. And every phenotype can move through the later stages differently. Passion Fruitz has already demonstrated that she has her own rhythm. So it makes even less sense to force her into a rigid schedule. We're reducing the mineral input gradually. We're continuing to observe. We're allowing the plant to finish her own process. And we're giving her time. Because if there's one thing Passion Fruitz has taught us... it's that she's going to take whatever time she damn well wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ HER LEAVES ARE STILL DOING THEIR JOB โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another reason I don't want to interfere unnecessarily is the foliage. Those beautiful green leaves are still part of the plant's working machinery. They're capturing photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. They're part of the plant's overall balance. So unless something genuinely requires attention, I'm not interested in removing healthy foliage simply because we're getting closer to the end. The plant knows which leaves are useful. The plant knows which parts are aging. And we're watching those changes rather than trying to force them. Again... observe first. Act second. That's becoming more and more important as the grow progresses. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž RESIN, STRUCTURE AND ALL THOSE LITTLE DETAILS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The closer you look at this girl, the more you appreciate the details. There's the overall plant. Then the branches. Then the flowers. Then the individual floral structures. Then the pistils. Then the resin. And suddenly... you're looking at a completely different world. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ That's why I love macro photography. A beautiful plant becomes an entire landscape. Every flower has its own little architecture. Every calyx contributes to the shape. Every pistil adds another layer. Every trichome adds texture. And Passion Fruitz is giving us plenty to look at. Slowly. Of course. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE SOLO SURVIVOR STILL HAS THE SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are a lot of personalities in the 8ร—8. But Passion Fruitz has earned a very special place. She's the solo survivor. The patient girl. The slow girl. The one who refuses to follow the room's timetable. And somehow... that makes her even more interesting. Because when everybody else is moving quickly, the slow plant gives you a different perspective. She reminds you that the grow isn't a race. It's a biological process. And every plant experiences that process differently. So yes... she's slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But she's also absolutely beautiful. And that's what matters. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Honestly? More patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue photographing her. We're going to watch the pistils. We're going to watch the calyxes develop. We're going to observe the resin. We're going to continue gradually reducing the mineral nutrition as the plant moves toward the later stages. And we're going to let Passion Fruitz decide how quickly she wants to move. No rushing. No forcing. No trying to make her fit another plant's timeline. Just letting her be herself. And that's exactly what this diary is supposed to document. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET THE SLOW GIRL SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. And Passion Fruitz is still doing exactly what Passion Fruitz wants to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ Slow. Very slow. But beautiful. She's taking her time with everything. The flowers. The calyx development. The pistils. The resin. The overall progression. And I'm completely okay with that. Because when I look at her... I don't see a problem. I see a phenotype. A different rhythm. A different clock. A different expression. She's not the fastest girl in the room. She's not trying to be. She's simply continuing to develop at her own pace. And honestly? She's perfect as she comes. Beautiful floral formation. Beautiful calyxes. Beautiful white hairs. Beautiful green foliage. Beautiful structure. And an individuality that has become impossible to miss. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ?๐Ÿ’Ž This is why I love the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can put twelve plants together. Give them the same room.

Well, Surprised by the size at the second week. As my second time growing in indoor, the first time I try with 5.5lt smart (fabric) pots with BioBizz Tripack. At the harvest, only the Torpedo was the biggest (the other was Mamba Negra, Stress Killer) size of crops (2,5 cm diameter). The smell is quite light, as fresh lemon or ment. The leaf are more light than the first Week. The torpedo is growing up more, same at the first time I grow it (Sorry for my english, I can't specific more details),

They still have to get used to their new environment... Light stress from the cold nights and a little lack of nutrients in the soil make them yellow but hopefully that will be all right. Because I give it my own schedule which is nutrition nutrition water. nutrition nutrition water.

I've been having a tough time with shipping getting things I need to properly control my environment and running into issues. I have invested in a new; 4x5 Vivosun tent to give the bigger plants more room, a Spider Farmer 1000 ( MrCanucks, a guy I learned a lot from on YouTube did a paid trial of this product with pretty great results, thought I'd try compared to my current crappy LED.), Sizing down to 1 and 3gal fabric pots for a softer transplant transition next go around, the hygrometer/thermometers, some more appropriate sized fans for the tent ( Genesis clip on and treveda circulating fan) to help with general airflow. Overall I'm actually very happy with all my first set plants (the bigger ones), most seem to be producing multiple sites and growing bigger every day. Noticed the seedlings having trouble about two to three days ago at most. Honestly did not give them the attention they needed. First though it was nutrient deficiency or lockout, maybe, overwatering. Finally checked the soil good and seen how clay like and thick it had become, then took a few out their cups and seen the roots we're choking. I have a grow question up wondering whether I should try to save the seedlings or scrap them in favor of more light for the bigger plants that are obviously growing well? Until next week! Happy growing and much love to all! โœŒ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ -UPDATE- So I ended up receiving my new Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED grow light and my two fans a bit ahead of schedule today! โ˜บ๏ธ Got the Treveda circulating fan and Genesis clip on fan. Reset all the plants to better benefit from the new gear and a couple other things. Need video I uploaded shows the most current setup. I moved all my bigger 1st set seed to the left side and hung the SF LED to about 20.5-21in from the tallest of the 4 of those plants. Most all are at least 9 inches. I moved the ring of the 1st set and seedlings to the right side under the Vivosun 600W at about 24in. Still haven't received much feedback on my grow question regarding my seedlings. Since I wasn't quite what to do, I ended up leaving them out of the cups and putting them in my germination tray. My hope is I can keep the plants surviving long enough off of regular sprayings and using the tray as a make shift nutrient reservoir until the soil and pots finally arrive. Scheduled to be here Wednesday, hopefully earlier like the light and fans ๐Ÿ‘ Would love to hear all your feedback and opinions! Hope everyone is having good grows and good vibes!

So this week has been quite eventful. First, for the good news, there has been tons of new growth and the plant has stretched like mad! The buds seem to be fattening up in the last couple of days which is always exciting!! That was the good news lol. The bad news is I found a few pollen sacks on this plant which is really disappointing. I have never run seeds from the breeder I went with this time around and I am chalking this up to weak genetics. I do not have any light leaks and I run a pretty tight and tidy ship on my end so itโ€™s hard to think it was environmental. I pulled off what I found and it appears only one opened ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ (see pictures). It has been a good 4 days since I have seen any so ๐Ÿคž I wonโ€™t see anymore. I will keep this plant going but if I wasnโ€™t running a single plant I might pull the plug. Who likes seeds in their final product! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Not me!! It would have been nice to see this lady without a set of nuts!! Cooler Internals: 5.9 pH 650 ppm 1.3 EC Water is at 65F

Definitely forgot to water to water the ladies a few too many days in a row last week so one of the plants started to get a little a brown around the pistils. Will be better about watering this week lol. Other than that, the ladies are doing great!

Hello, everyone. Day 20 of flower for the Gorilla Glue 4 x White Widow. She is drinking a lot more now, taking down more than 8 liters. I give her 10 liters, getting a little bit of runoff. Temperatures range between 20 at night and 27 during the day. Humidity is in check between 52 and 59, currently at 57 at night. The light intensity is 1208 PPFD, and since the sensor is lower, the top canopy is getting even more. The pepper plants are definitely on the floor enjoying the show too. Thank you for stopping by, and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather.

Lamp Brightness: 100% @ 16" - estimated 914 PAR (top of GMO 2/back left) Waterings only, daily crop steering - reduced water temp + dry down periods IPM once-a-week visual inspection - no foliar applications notes: harvest likely next week (after 12 weeks flowering) trichome check - showing little signs of amber looks like they could go longer but another week I feel is sufficient smell has largely stayed the same for a few weeks if anything just more complexities

31.05 yesterday was the end of the fifth week for the plants, some were transplanted yesterday, some today, and some not yet, but most of them were transplanted and topped for the first time... I was late with the topping because I didn't want to top before transplanting.. I topped most of the plants between the sixth and seventh nodes instead of between the fifth and sixth, some I even topped between the seventh and the eighth, but what's up... the weather normalized for a day and immediately started with severe heat... in the sun now it will be 40+ degrees C, until the other day it was 15, this is definitely not normal...the pictures and video are from yesterday, in the next update I will post pictures from the site Stay high โ€˜nโ€™ keep growing!!!

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒธ Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ”ฅ Still Wild. Still Evolving. Letting the Beast Reach Her Own Finish Line. Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our beautiful Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A! ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ Now, my friends, I'm not going to pretend that we've done something spectacular to this girl this week. We haven't. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's doing her thing. She's continuing to evolve, moving through the later part of her flowering journey, and we're simply watching her progress. No big changes. No unnecessary interventions. No dramatic new plans. Just observation, consistency, photographs, and a little bit of appreciation for what this girl has become. And honestly? Sometimes that's exactly what a good update should be. Not every week needs a big event. Not every report needs a problem to solve. Sometimes the plant is doing her job, and the grower needs to know when to step back and let her continue. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ So let's give Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A her own spotlight this week. Because even when we're doing very little, she's still writing her own story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ THE WILD GIRL KEEPS DOING HER THING If you've been following this girl from the beginning, you'll know she's never been particularly interested in following anyone else's schedule. She's got her own personality. Her own structure. Her own rhythm. And now, as we move further into the later part of her journey, we're continuing to watch that expression develop. She's still evolving. We're still observing the flowers and the overall plant. And we're allowing her to continue toward her finish line without trying to force a particular date onto her. That's the important part. I'm not going to tell you she's finished next week. I'm not going to invent a harvest date. And I'm not going to make predictions just because we're getting deeper into the run. The calendar gives us context. The plant gives us something to observe. And we'll keep documenting what actually happens. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ For now, the wild girl is still here, still evolving, and still deserving of every bit of attention we give her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ NOT MUCH INTERVENTION โ€” AND THAT'S THE POINT Honestly, we're not doing much to this girl at the moment. We're observing. We're keeping an eye on her development. We're maintaining the shared environment. We're documenting the changes. And we're letting the plant continue her journey. Why create extra work when there's no specific problem demanding our attention? The structure is already there. The flowers have their own story. And this stage is about watching the plant develop rather than constantly finding something new to do. Sometimes growers can feel as though they need to intervene every week to prove they're doing something. But growing isn't measured by how often we touch a plant. Sometimes the work is maintaining consistency. Sometimes it's noticing a change. Sometimes it's recognising that the best thing we can do is leave the plant alone. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And that's where we are with Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. We're not ignoring her. We're paying attention without inventing unnecessary interventions. There's a difference. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ HER OWN PLANT, HER OWN TIMELINE One of my favourite parts of the 8ร—8 Adventure is seeing how differently these plants behave when they're sharing the same general environment. Some girls have been moving quickly. Others have taken their time. Some have developed very different structures from their neighbours. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has certainly established her own identity in this room. She's the wild girl. The one we've watched evolve week after week. The one with that impressive main cola and her own distinctive expression. And now we're letting her continue toward the next stage without rushing her. That's what individual phenotype diaries are all about. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're documenting what each plant actually does. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Different plants. Different expressions. Different timelines. And twelve opportunities to learn something new. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! Twelve plants. Different genetics and phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. And a whole lot of individual personalities. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ That's the idea behind this experiment. We keep the general conditions consistent and observe how the different plants develop within that shared environment. We can control many aspects of the room, but we cannot make every phenotype respond identically. And that's precisely why we give every plant her own report. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A doesn't need to have the same story as her sister or the other girls in the room. She needs to have her own story documented properly. So even when the weekly update is simple, she still gets her own chapter. Because the quiet weeks are part of the journey too. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES The lighting setup remains part of the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series ecosystem. We're continuing with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment, with output previously reduced to approximately 59% from the plug. Our working reference remains around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with actual intensity varying according to plant height and position. The important point is that we're not simply running everything at maximum because we have the capacity to do so. Having additional lighting capability gives us more flexibility. The goal is to work with the setup we have, maintain the shared environment, and observe how the different plants respond. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A continues her journey beneath that artificial sun. Same photons. Same room. Her own expression. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this upgraded setup throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING? Let's revisit the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Since we're discussing this across our individual reports this week, I want to keep the explanation consistent and, most importantly, scientifically accurate. Plants don't just respond to the amount of light they receive. They also respond to its wavelength and timing. One important group of photoreceptors is the phytochrome system, which responds to red and far-red light and helps plants interpret changes in their light environment. Red and far-red wavelengths can influence plant signalling, but their effects depend on the spectrum, intensity, duration, timing, and physiological state of the plant. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is part of the lighting routine we're documenting. However, we're not going to claim that those 15 minutes automatically improve flowering, increase yield, or guarantee a better finish. Those are specific outcomes that would need evidence. We're recording the routine, learning about the underlying science, and keeping our conclusions separate from our assumptions. That's how we should approach these techniques. Curiosity is good. Experimentation is interesting. But understanding what we're actually testing is even better. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” A LITTLE PHOTOSYNTHESIS EDUCATION While we're discussing light, let's talk about the Emerson effect. It's a fascinating and well-established phenomenon in photosynthesis. In simplified terms, the Emerson effect describes how photosynthetic activity can increase when certain red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together, producing a response greater than expected from their individual effects under the relevant experimental conditions. Why? Photosynthesis uses two cooperating photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both play important roles in the light-dependent reactions that convert light energy into chemical energy. The photosystems have different light-absorption characteristics, and their cooperation is essential to photosynthesis. Under suitable conditions, combining particular wavelengths can improve the balance between their activity and increase the overall photosynthetic response. That's the basic principle behind the Emerson effect. But here's the important distinction: The Emerson effect does not mean that adding a short red-light period after the main lights automatically produces the same response. The classic phenomenon concerns the combined effects of red and far-red wavelengths under particular illumination conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is a different situation, and we shouldn't automatically attribute a measurable benefit to it. The actual spectrum matters. The intensity matters. The timing matters. And the result we want to measure matters. So yes, the Emerson effect is real and scientifically interesting. But we need to distinguish the established phenomenon from the specific lighting routine we're using in this grow. That's how we turn interesting information into useful knowledge. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒ™ RED LIGHT, FAR-RED LIGHT, AND THE END OF THE DAY One final point worth remembering: Red light and far-red light are not interchangeable. They interact with plant photoreceptors in different ways, and the response depends on the precise conditions. A short red-light period after the main lighting period isn't automatically equivalent to a far-red treatment, nor does either treatment guarantee a particular outcome. For this adventure, we're documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period as part of the current lighting routine. We're explaining the science behind plant responses to light. And we're avoiding claims that go beyond what we can establish from the information available. If we want to determine whether this particular treatment makes a measurable difference, we'd need suitable comparisons and measurements. Until then, let's keep learning, keep observing, and keep asking good questions. That's what makes a grow diary more than a collection of photographs. It's a record of the process and the things we learn along the way. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE ROOM The general nutritional program remains consistent with the shared setup. Our current recipe reference remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous solution readings were approximately pH 6.04 and EC 2.05 mS/cm. We're keeping the overall approach consistent while continuing to observe each plant individually. And as Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A approaches her own finish line, we're not going to make decisions based on the week number alone. We'll continue assessing her development and decide on any changes when there's a reason to do so. No unnecessary drama. No invented work. Just observation and consistency. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The shared room setup continues to be documented using the following reference readings: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series, upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~61% โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation reference โ€” ~1.45 L per plant / 24h These are the shared room references from the previous update, not a claim that every reading has been independently remeasured this week. Same room. Same general strategy. Same lighting ecosystem. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A continues developing in her own way. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ SOME WEEKS, THE BEST UPDATE IS SIMPLY ANOTHER LOOK I think it's important to say this. Not every report needs a dramatic change. Not every week needs a new technique. Not every photograph needs to show something completely different. Sometimes the value is in continuing to document the same plant over time. Because when we look back at the complete diary, those individual weeks become part of a much bigger picture. We can follow the structure. We can observe the changes. We can compare photographs. We can see how her development unfolded. And we can remember what we were seeing at each stage. That's the point of keeping the diary going. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A doesn't need a new headline-grabbing event this week. She's still here. She's still evolving. And we're still watching. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. And this week? She's doing her thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š We're not making big changes. We're not trying to invent a new intervention. We're not rushing her toward a date on the calendar. We're observing. We're documenting. We're maintaining the shared environment. And we're allowing her to continue toward her own finish line. She's already given us plenty of interesting chapters throughout this adventure, and she still deserves her own spotlight, even when the update is simply about continuing to evolve. We've also used this week's report to revisit our red-light routine and the Emerson effect. Because sharing a grow means sharing what we learn, but it also means being honest about what the science does and doesn't establish. The Emerson effect is a real photosynthetic phenomenon involving the cooperation of photosystems under particular illumination conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is something we're documenting, not proof that we're reproducing that effect or guaranteeing a particular result. We can be curious without making promises. We can experiment without pretending we already know the outcome. And we can keep learning while the plants continue their journey. That's the spirit of this adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ So, Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A... Keep doing your thing, wild girl. Keep evolving. Keep moving toward your finish line. We're not going to rush you. We're not going to invent work for ourselves. We're simply going to keep watching and appreciate the journey you've given us. One week at a time. One photograph at a time.

Hello fellow growers, The plants are on schedule and i topped them several times and i will put one amnesia by expert seeds into flower next week. The amnesia fast by advanced seeds will go into flower 14 days from now need the roots to develop more. The other amnesia by expert seeds needs at least 14 days in veg before i think about putting her into flower. The mac1 by expert seeds survived but she is 3 weeks behind the other plant so i flushed the coco and perlite of the roots and put her in a spider farmer dwc system and will put her in a other tent next week. Amnesia fast clone has no roots yet but next week she will sit in a dwc system. Thanks for reading my diary and have a nice day.
