Erster Grow, ohne Schnickschnack. Den Growroom haben wir aus/in unserem Gästeklo gebaut. Heizung ist drin, Lüftung ist drin, alles gekachelt. Wir haben einen Boden eingebaut, mit Pressspan-Platten auf einer billigen Holzkonstruktion. Maße vom Gästeklo sind 90 x 110 cm. First grow, no frills. We built the grow room out of/in our guest toilet. Heating is in, ventilation is in, everything is tiled. We installed a floor with chipboard on a cheap wooden construction. The dimensions of the guest toilet are 90 x 110 cm.

Is 10oz good? How did you do?

Day68 HARVEST DAY big buds

There asking for more water now. I was feeding 250ml every 3rd day as seedlings now I will up it to 350ml every watering until they need more.

Getting good temps and humidity , change the light to red and blues saw changes

That's it, she got to the end of her life, at least the end of this part of her existence. She will now dry in a wine chiller, that I tried to repair and get both chambers to cool, which was more work than I anticipated, but I succeeded in the end. Now I can dry her at a steady temperature, not worrying about drying her too fast and losing too many terpenes, cannabinoids and all the other good stuff in the process. After drying, the buds get trimmed and put into Grove Bags into the wine chiller for curing. I'm very excited about this setup addition and very curious about the results.

It is growing slowly but steadily. For mainlining she isn't the right choice but I'm confident that she fills the screen for ⅔. I would have liked to give her an extra week so that she could fill the frame completely, but her neighbor is growing rapidly and should start flowering. So they are entering this new phase of life together. Light Power: 60% Day 47 Photoshooting Last vegi day

Day- 22 Repotted and fed them ph water that read 6.35. Fed 1ml of ph down with 1 gallon of water. Gave each plant a half gallon of the ph water. Day- 23 Added another half gallon of ph water to both plants. I think they were being underwatered. Or not watered thoroughly. We will see how they look tomorrow at 3. Expecting a big growth spurt. May have to look into topping them. Day- 24 I’ve topped both plants. I assume I did it correctly so we will see how that goes. Blacked out the windows in the room. Opened the door and now have a fan blowing all the hot humid air out. I’m thinking that will cool the room a lot and bring down internal tent temps. Day- 25 Ended up trying to do some LST got the biggest leaves on the bottom tied back and the top main two where I topped them. I’m going to water them again today. 1/2 gal each of ph water. Waiting to see how much run off I get. If not enough, I will do another half gallon. Day- 26 Soil is still moist so I will not be watering today. Day- 28 Last day of veg week 3! Video will speak for itself 😎

I had to skip a couple of weeks, as it was a bit hectic for me, but here is my next update. I started flushing them this week, and they will be harvested soon. I think there will be one last update before the harvest.

New week starts! ☀️18.10.2023 Nothing for today. I'll water my garden tomorrow. ☀️20.10.2023 I've watered my plants yesturday using 30% concentration of TA Tripart solution + 'Advanced PK' nutrient in 100% of recommended dose. They have a 'Third week haircut' already and I will make big defoliation of lower floors near the week ends. ☀️21.10.2023 Huge defoliation today. I've cleared nearly all big leaves all over my plants and branches in a bottom. Made LST and sprayed them with 'TA Bio Bloom' solution. That's all what I'll do till the every harvest, I guess. ☀️23.10.2023 Spraying with 'TA Bio Bloom' today.

Tras una buena semana, voy a aplicar nutrientes solo 1 vez por semana, hasta el lavado de raices. Decir q la morada, debia de haber recibido menos nutrientes para un mejor desaroyo, lo bueno es que tengo un par de esquejes, para poder perfeccionar. 📅 Dia 28: Agua Ph6.5 Ec 250 📅 Dia 29: aplico nutrientes, EC 2100 y PH 6.5 esta vez la cantidad necesaria hasta la proxima semana, el resto de dias, agua. He cambiado la forma de aplicar los nutrientes para no volverme tan loco al tener tantas variedades, me guio por el color y textura de las plantas. El olor empieza a ser intenso 📅 Dia 30: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 31: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 32: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 33: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 34: descanso, algo va mal, voy a dejar secar y ver el agua que escurre. Quiero aprender bien esta tecnica que estoy desarrollando, no veo info sobre ella y cometo algunos errores, pero de eso se trata, de aprender y se a donde quiero llegar. Nota: Tras regar con agua uno de los ejemplares, la ec de salida ha sido 1600, a si que ni va mal la cosa. Creo haber logrado superar esa sobre fertilizacion y la floracion continua su curso.

Sour diesel autoflower from SeedsMafia 🌱 Dropped the seed in the water on 20.08.2021, it was in water for ~24 hours, then transplanted it to damp paper towel and kept it in a dark space, wasn’t too warm in there though 😕 The seed popped in the next day, I kept the seed in the paper towel for ~48 hours and then planted it into the pot with the sprout headed down 👍🏼

Week 3 since flipping lights to 12/12. Changed reservoir. 9 liters of water. Added week 2 flower nutes. 10g x 10g x 2 grams. She has passed the stretching phase and I can now see flowers forming.

Last final defoliation done, now buds are fully exposed to the lights and the best part, harvest trim will be easier. Still it took me around 8 h altogether to defoliate all of them. Tones of buds and frost , amazing smells. Won't rush will give it a bit more to swell.

Been a lil busy. Haven't been on here or in the garden as much as i need to. The girls are growing all natural. I have literally taken no leaves off their entire lives. Some of the old fan leaves die during light drybacks. Inuse deybacks for stacking nutes and some light drought stress which can increase oil production. They just have a small cage at two levels. I have cut nutrients to most of them, going for quality smoke as its already more than I can consume lol. Two look like they are still bulking. Some are getting close. Everyone is still getting bokashi/ffj for the terps and ethylene found in the ripe fruits. It helps with senescence.. I turned the lights and temps down to help crop steer ‘em. We are getting close! Thanks for readin

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 2 Flower 🍬 The Elegant Survivor There are plants that grow fast. There are plants that grow big. And then there are plants that simply have style. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants. As the only survivor from this seed pack — with the loss of her sister being entirely my own mistake — she has every reason to be remembered as the little plant that almost didn't make it. Instead, she's proving me wrong. Week after week, Candy Rain has continued developing into something I honestly wasn't expecting. She's tall, graceful, incredibly lush, and has developed an elegant structure that is becoming more and more impressive with every update. Beautiful green leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Beautiful structure. And an attitude that seems to say: "You didn't expect this one, did you?" 😄 Well, Candy Rain... You have my attention now. 🌸 Week 2 Flower – She's Finally Showing Her Character Candy Rain has now entered her second week of flowering, and the transformation is becoming much more obvious. Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has developed a wonderfully vertical and elegant structure. Rather than becoming overly dense or chaotic, her branches have naturally arranged themselves throughout the canopy, creating plenty of space between flowering sites. The flowers are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the plant, with multiple flowering sites already clearly established along the branches. The little flowers from last week are beginning to look much more like proper developing buds now. And the most impressive part? The plant looks incredibly comfortable. The foliage is lush and beautifully green, the leaves are reaching naturally toward the light, and the entire plant has that healthy, energetic appearance that every grower loves to see. She's not fighting her environment. She's enjoying it. 🌿 Plant Development – Elegance Over Everything Candy Rain has developed a very particular personality. She's not a compact little plant trying to hide between the others. She's tall. She's open. She's graceful. She's almost elegant. The earlier Low Stress Training helped establish an open framework, but at this stage I'm mostly allowing her natural growth to speak for itself. Her long branches carry flowering sites beautifully, while the fan leaves remain healthy and functional throughout the plant. Looking at her now, it's almost difficult to believe this is the same plant that started this project so slowly. She has gone from the survivor I was simply happy to keep alive... to a plant that now deserves her own spotlight. And honestly, I couldn't be happier about it. 🍃 A Beautiful Canopy One of the things that really stands out this week is the quality of the foliage. The leaves are a beautiful deep green, with strong structure and excellent development. There is a real elegance to the way they extend from the branches and surround the developing flowers. She's lush without looking messy. She's full without looking overcrowded. And the flowering sites remain visible throughout the structure. That's exactly the kind of development I like to see during this stage. Instead of forcing her into a particular shape, I'm letting Candy Rain show me what her genetics want to do. And so far... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Feeding Program Candy Rain continues on the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding includes: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.25 L per 24 hours She's responding beautifully to the current program. The foliage remains strong and balanced, flowering continues progressing naturally, and there are no obvious signs of nutritional stress in the photos. 🌡️ Environment The flowering environment remains stable: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this project. Candy Rain isn't having to constantly adapt to major environmental changes. Instead, she can simply concentrate on what she needs to do now: grow, stretch, flower, and build. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main light source from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting is now part of Candy Rain's flowering environment. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like this. Because Candy Rain has such an open, vertical structure, there are flowering sites positioned at different levels throughout the plant. The coming weeks will be fascinating. I'm especially interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop as flowering progresses and how the additional under-canopy illumination contributes to the overall structure. But as always... I'm not going to make promises before harvest. We'll let the plant tell us. 🍬 Phenotype Thoughts – The Survivor Has Something to Say This is probably the most enjoyable part of this week's update. Candy Rain was never supposed to become the star of this folder. She was simply the one that remained. And now? She's standing there looking absolutely beautiful. Tall. Lush. Healthy. Elegant. Covered in developing flowers. The irony isn't lost on me. I made the mistake that cost her sister her chance in this project. Candy Rain was the one left behind, and instead of letting that define her story, she's completely written her own. This is one of the reasons I love growing. You can have expectations. You can have plans. You can have an idea of which plants will impress you. And then one plant quietly comes along and says: "Watch me." Candy Rain is doing exactly that. 🔭 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be particularly exciting. The stretch will eventually slow down, and more of her energy will move toward building the flowers that are now developing all across her branches. Those beautiful white pistils should continue multiplying, the flowers should begin gaining more volume, and the plant's final structure will become much easier to judge. I'm also very curious to see how she responds to the combination of the overhead Black Series lighting and Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the flowers continue developing. For now, though, there is absolutely nothing I want to rush. Candy Rain has already taught me that lesson. Give her time. She'll decide what she wants to become. ❤️ Final Thoughts – From Survivor to Showstopper? I started this diary thinking Candy Rain would simply be the plant that survived. Now I'm starting to wonder if she might become something much more memorable. She has gone from a slow beginning to a beautifully structured, tall and elegant flowering plant. And every time I look at her, I find something new to appreciate. The leaves. The structure. The flowering sites. The colour. The way she carries herself. She has become the elegant survivor. And perhaps that's the best part of the whole story. Sometimes the plant you didn't expect anything from becomes the plant you end up watching the closest. Candy Rain... You deserve to shine. 🍬✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these genetics, Plagron for the flowering nutrition program, Future of Grow for the Black Series LED, and Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this adventure. And, of course, a massive thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing the journey with me. Candy Rain may have started this chapter as the solo survivor... but she's certainly not looking like a survivor anymore. She's looking like she belongs here. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚
