A lot of growth this week, the back right is rather spindly and tall compared to the rest so will need to train her down quite a bit I think. I have some soft ties coming in the post tomorrow so will be doing some extensive LST over the next few days, aiming to spread out taller plants and giving the shorter ones a chance to catch up. I did do some HST this week, but I botched a few up and had to add a splint to one of them. The tall one also has a couple yo-yo supports as she was leaning over a little bit. PH swings are less frequent but do happen from time to time, went as low as 4.7 PH during lights out but doesn’t seem to have affected them. I am determined to have an even canopy by the end of the transition period this time 💪

seems to really want to turn into a bush so i’m just going to let it do its thing!

The start of week 5 is going well. Blueberry is smelling nice and my seedlings should be showing preflowers soon.

Smoothies are drying out --> HARVEST coming soon. Now there is only the last amnesia haze left.

Happy to hav seed harvest stoned @chedderbob112

Flashing time ~~ Mid week did a hair cut to the plant . That smell is so lemon🤩🤩😍 So there is nothing much to say except my vent take a brake for a night and i have look at termo and it said 99 humidity ⛔⛔ omg the tent was sweaty ,long story short big problen with fast fix .

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 5 Wow what a big diffrence fron last week till now. They both almost seem double in size and are still moving upward. Over all health seems amazing as I don't see any issue's. I did up there feeding to now 1-2 liters every 2-3days as before was only 16oz. They're drying out just as fast so I know they are doing good as far as water/feed intake. I bumped up the GH Flora series 3 part nutes. I kept the Gro at 1tsp/gal but decided to add more of the Micro & Bloom to a 1-1/2tspgal so will see how they handle it. If I had to take a guess if they're like anyother Fastbuds amazing strains, they wont skip a beat and ask for more. Happy Growing

Week 2 since they suddenly explored in growth. Since I have a very small tent, I just started the LST. Realised some yellow leave. Maybe due to light burn. Turned down power a bit to 40% and height increased to 25cm

Hello friends, this week is interesting, busy and even enthusiastic. I put compost tea for all of them, wish you happy days🤗

Overall this girl was an amazing grow. I screwed up with her early on and she looked like she was on deaths bed. The soil was too packed and I didn’t put enough perlite in the soil mix so she was re-potted twice within a couple days and once I got the soil broke up a bit, she bounced back like nothing ever happened to her. Definitely looking forward to growing this strain again.

Monday,March 1st. Second Week of Flower starts. Those Plants growing like Masters, Drinking around 0.7l each Day Only Benefical Drinks, because they sit in amended Soil ( EASY BOOST ORGANIC NUTRITION) I was watching them very carefully, because they moved into abigger Tent, with Double amount of Light. But it seems to be allright for them. Looking gorgeous, green and Happy

On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Very Happy plants, soaking up the rays. When you place your face near the buds you get an amazing sweet fruity aroma, the leaves smell like skunk and cheese. Each plant is getting 10 liters every 4 days. I water with 6.3ph tap water twice for every time I add nutrients. I use Alaska fish fertilizer when its been a few times since a nutrient feed but the plants are showing no deficiency's. They are Fed by a drip system which takes 16 hours to deliver the 10 liters to each plant, this works really well in the Fabric smart pots. I use metal racks to keep the plants off the ground then place a drip tray underneath each plant. When using the drip system very little run off occurs. I added a spider farmer sf-1000 to the room, it is full spectrum and ir, and is great for getting the corners of the room or the less dense areas of the canopy.

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements. ****UPDATE**** Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!

I got there new drip system installed, I took a video of it finishing out 3 gallons to the 6. They are all very healthy and growing really fast. It has been hot but they are absolutely unphased. I just have to water just about every day. I'm letting them feed off the soil and only giving them enhancers. Hopefully I'm laying the foundation for a big harvest. I will be starting them on Sensi Bloom A and B at small dose soon. One of my White Widow XXL Autos died so that opened a spot for an extra IB. Shes just getting above ground and no issues to report.

Die Epic Buzz hat massiv aufgeholt und steht zu ihren Schwestern, fast schon besser als die Punch Pie. Sie bekommt diese Woche ihren ersten Dünger vom MaryJanes Growshop.

Folder 11A – Pink Rozay Auto Week 4 | The Early Bloomer Welcome back to The 8×8 Adventure, where twelve unique cultivars are sharing the same environment, the same feeding schedule and the same lighting, allowing each genetic to reveal its own personality under identical conditions. One of the reasons I decided to document every plant individually is because genetics rarely follow the same script. Even sisters growing side by side can surprise us with different growth patterns, different structures and different flowering speeds. Pink Rozay Auto A is becoming a perfect example of that. While most of the room is only beginning to transition into bloom, she has already decided it’s time to get to work. White pistils are appearing across the entire canopy, flower sites are multiplying every day and she’s beginning to separate herself from the rest of the garden. Whether she’ll stay ahead until harvest or simply had an early start… only time will tell. ⸻ 🌱 A Compact Plant With Big Ambitions Pink Rozay Auto A isn’t the largest lady inside the 8×8 room, but she doesn’t seem interested in competing for height. Instead, she’s investing her energy into building a wide, balanced canopy with excellent branch development. Every branch has its own place, creating an open structure that should allow plenty of light to reach future flowering sites. Sometimes a plant doesn’t need to be the tallest to become one of the most productive. Looking from above, the architecture is becoming increasingly symmetrical, giving every developing cola plenty of space to breathe and grow. ⸻ 🌿 Low Stress Training Doing Exactly What It Should Throughout her vegetative stage I’ve continued working with gentle Low Stress Training, carefully guiding branches outward rather than forcing dramatic bends. Large fan leaves have been tucked away whenever necessary, opening windows for light to reach lower shoots without removing valuable foliage too early. The goal has never been to fight the plant’s natural growth. Instead, it’s simply to encourage a flatter, wider canopy where every branch has an opportunity to become a productive flowering site. So far, Pink Rozay has responded beautifully, maintaining excellent vigour while opening up more every day. ⸻ 🌸 Leading the Race Into Flower This week’s biggest surprise is how quickly she’s embracing the flowering transition. While several plants throughout the room are only beginning to show their first pistils, Pink Rozay Auto A already displays clusters of fresh white hairs across nearly every growing tip. She seems eager to leave vegetation behind and begin building flowers. Whether this means she’ll ultimately finish ahead of the others or whether the rest of the room will soon catch up is one of the questions I’m most excited to answer over the coming weeks. That’s one of my favourite parts of growing multiple cultivars together—every plant writes its own story. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Despite the warmer summer weather outside, the room continues providing stable conditions for all twelve cultivars. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ? Substrate Temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 26°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.1 • ⚡ EC: 1.35 mS/cm • ☁️ CO₂: 639 ppm • 💧 Water Consumption: 1.1 litres per plant per day Even under these warm daytime temperatures, Pink Rozay continues producing healthy foliage, vibrant new growth and excellent flower initiation without showing signs of stress. ⸻ Feeding Programme As the plant begins transitioning into bloom, the feeding programme remains focused on maintaining healthy vegetative growth while supporting the first stages of flower production. Per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml • Power Roots — 1 ml • Pure Zym — 1 ml • Sugar Royal — 1 ml Adjusted with: • pH Plus — 0.03 ml • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml The Plagron programme continues delivering a stable root zone, vigorous growth and healthy development while allowing the plant to naturally progress into the flowering phase. ⸻ 💡 Lighting The entire 8×8 Adventure continues thriving beneath the incredible Future of Grow LED fixtures. Uniform light distribution across the room allows every cultivar to receive the same opportunity to perform, making it fascinating to watch how different genetics express themselves under identical conditions. Pink Rozay Auto A is already showing that genetics often dictate timing just as much as environment. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Week four closes with Pink Rozay Auto A looking healthy, balanced and full of promise. She’s still a relatively compact plant, but her canopy has opened beautifully through gentle training, and her early flowering response suggests she may become one of the first cultivars in the room to fully enter bloom. I’m especially curious to see whether she’ll continue leading the race or whether the rest of the garden will soon catch up. Either way, she’s earned the spotlight this week, and I can’t wait to watch the next chapter unfold. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You Thank you, as always, to everyone following The 8×8 Adventure. Your support, comments and shared experiences make this project even more rewarding, and I hope these individual plant diaries help demonstrate just how unique every cultivar can be, even when they’re grown side by side under identical conditions. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Pink Rozay Auto genetics, to Plagron for the trusted nutrient line and substrates that continue delivering healthy, vigorous growth, and to Future of Grow LED for providing the consistent lighting that allows every phenotype to express its full potential. Finally, thank you to GrowDiaries for creating a community where growers from around the world can learn, inspire one another and celebrate this incredible hobby together. Until next week… Growers Love and let’s see if Pink Rozay keeps wearing the yellow jersey of the 8×8 Adventure. 🌿💚

What I have to say. For 5 years I grow with friends. One or two of them they get so greedy the cut and stole al the plant. I got so many picture. We smashed every time every genetics. No drama. No problem. Unfortunately I forget is a money making plant. So I got some consequence with growing with other.

Letzte Tage vor dem Chop – Flieder-Terps & milchige Trichome 🌸👀 📅 Blütetag 73 | Gesamttag 133 Jetzt wirklich die letzten Meter im Double Run. Viel passiert nicht mehr – außer dass beide Ladies sichtbar auslaugen und immer zerlotterter wirken. Genau das, was man sehen will: sie ziehen jetzt konsequent die letzten Reserven aus den Blättern. Die White Gushers 33 braucht weiterhin Geduld, während die Triangle Sherbet Kush schon fast komplett milchig ist – kaum noch klare Trichome zu sehen. Reif ist sie definitiv, aber ich gebe beiden noch ein paar Tage extra, um den Sweet Spot sauber mitzunehmen. Beim Öffnen des Zelts kommt jetzt ganz klar eine florale Fliedernote durch – richtig angenehm und deutlich wahrnehmbar. Das Ganze geht in eine fruchtige, leicht süßliche Flieder-Richtung, sehr rund und schon jetzt ziemlich ausgeprägt. Seit einer Woche gibt es nur noch Wasser. Trotzdem trinken beide noch erstaunlich gut weiter – läuft also sauber bis zum Ende durch. Draußen wird’s langsam frühlingshaft, VPD deutlich entspannter – aktuell eher nebensächlich, aber zumindest keine kritische Feuchtigkeit mehr. Was mich etwas fuchst: die White Gushers 33 schiebt auf eigentlich fertigen Buds noch diese kleinen Türmchen. Nicht ideal, aber jetzt auch nichts mehr, was man noch beeinflussen kann. Ich gebe ihnen noch 3–4 Tage, maximal 5 – dann ist Schluss. ? 💬 Grow Frage Feedback – Dark Period vor der Ernte Im Zuge meiner Frage zur Dark Period vor der Ernte wollte ich das Ganze hier nochmal zusammenfassen: Vielen Dank erstmal an alle für den starken Input! 🙏 Es war wirklich interessant, die unterschiedlichen Meinungen zu sehen. Die meisten Grower sind sich einig, dass die Ernte am Morgen vor dem Einschalten des Lichts im normalen Zyklus der gängigste Weg ist. Einige setzen weiterhin auf eine 24–48-stündige Dunkelphase, während andere diese für unnötig halten und den natürlichen Rhythmus der Pflanze nicht unterbrechen wollen. Am Ende scheint es so zu sein, dass der richtige Reifegrad und das Timing wichtiger sind als eine abschließende Dunkelphase. Ich schätze die vielen Erfahrungswerte hier sehr – richtig wertvoller Input! Danke & Grow on 🌱 – Rocko 🔥 Final days before chop – lilac terps & cloudy trichomes 🌸👀 📅 Flower Day 73 | Day 133 Total Now it’s really the final stretch. Not much is happening anymore – except both ladies clearly fading and looking more worn out by the day. Exactly what you want to see: they’re pulling every last bit of nutrients from the leaves. The White Gushers 33 still needs a bit more patience, while the Triangle Sherbet Kush is already almost fully cloudy – barely any clear trichomes left. Definitely in the harvest window, but I’ll give them a few more days to really hit that sweet spot. When opening the tent now, a very clear floral lilac note comes through – super pleasant and quite pronounced. It leans towards a fruity, slightly sweet lilac profile, already very round and well developed. For about a week now, they’ve only been getting plain water. Interestingly, both are still drinking quite well – smooth finish so far. Spring is slowly kicking in outside, VPD is getting more stable – not very relevant at this stage anymore, but at least no excessive humidity. One thing that bugs me a bit: the White Gushers 33 is throwing small foxtails on already finished buds. Not ideal, but nothing you can really influence at this stage. I’ll give them another 3–4 days, max 5 – then it’s chop time. ? 💬 Community Feedback – Dark Period before Harvest Following my question about dark period before harvest, I wanted to sum it up here: Thanks everyone for the great input! 🙏 Really interesting to see the different opinions here. Most growers seem to agree that harvesting in the morning before lights turn on during the normal cycle is the most common approach. Some still like to add a 24–48h dark period, while others consider it unnecessary and prefer not to interrupt the plant’s rhythm. In the end it seems that proper ripeness and timing matters more than the final dark period itself. Appreciate all the experience shared here – lots of good insights! Thanks & Grow on 🌱 – Rocko
