First 4 days in soil

I had a small yield because I had a 100w led and I had a potassium deficiency but otherwise it's fine, it is good

Good day everyone, 3 days ago I harvested the Pineapple express. I can say only one - this was VERY fast grow. The fastest one I had ever. So I know why - Fast buds genetic DWC simple system I can not say anything about the strain yet, but the aroma is amazingly sweet and fruity. The buds are fully covered with the white crystals. I will update the DRY bud weight within 1 week the smoke report. Good luck

Hey Cannafam, Well in life sometimes you have to perservere to get something you really want, this was my 3rd attempt at growing this gal, with the previous 2 runs being wrecked by the UK weather. This has been a stressful grow as i thought this one was going to end in tears also, but I Made It and im super happy 😁💜💜💜 She came down a few days ago after more bad weather, a thunderstorm yesterday and its currrently raining as i write this, although i wanted her to run a little longer, it wasnt worth the risk and she should still give a nice heavy stone and is mature enough. She was quite a task to harvest and ive gone for a wet trim, a high leaf to calyx ratio on the buds and it took just under two hours! Wet weight is 111 grams although i expect this to reduce to around a third in the drying process and i've been left with a nice large bag of trim which will be sampled in the bong shortly 😊 Those beautiful dark purples are now on the drying rack indoors under the carbon filter on maximum to contain the smell of roudy gorgeous berries and its been a few days before i could open the tent,without it taking over the house! Ive got a dehmidifier running which has been set to keep RH at 58% and shes got about another week until dry. Once complete she'll be jarred with the 62% boveda humidy packs and burped daily on a four week cure. Il update once dry and cured a bit with more pics and a smoke report. Until then thank you to anyone following and your support,likes and comments 💜💜💜 Stay safe and remember the Sun always shines in Space 😊✌️ ********** Update ********** Hey Friends, So my purple lady is now dry and has been curing for a little while, i pulled 32grams off her so just over an Oz which im really pleased with considering the issues with pests early on in the grow and the bad weather in late flower. I've also got quite a decent size jar of trim which will be slowly bonged and mixed with various hash 😁 . This strain is one of my favorites and im so glad i tried again with her outside. I feel like this strain is a bit of hidden gem in the FastBuds catalogue but i would recommend growing her too anyone as she is definitely a purple jewel 😊 Thank you to all that liked or commented, I hope you've enjoyed this diary and love to all 💜💜💜

Bruce Banner #3 fast is growing fast. She just got topped, and roots pruned. It took a bit to grow into the nutrition. I made it a little strong my bad. She is all good now, and making progress under the Hortibloom Solux 350. Nothing else to report. Thank you Hortibloom, and The Orginal Sensibile Seeds company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

No para de sorprendernos esta variedad, ahora estamos seguros de que fue una excelente idea llevar esta variedad al limite en este proceso de vegetativo extenso. La Nutrición colombiana de @c21nutrients esta dando mejores resultados de lo esperado. 🇨🇴💚

Nothing new to report she's building her flowers , nice and steady do far seems u just need to take things slowly with autos compared to photoperiod. Being the first try at this its been a good learning experience with hopefully some nice buds at the end of the grow as we all hope .. Real curious to see how they fill out in the next coming weeks/days ..

The plats are not been trained, defoliated or anything, grown naturally. I’m blown away how fast this plants are growing. First time outdoors and the experience is very nice, I love the fact it requires little to no effort, in the setup I have chosen. As it is raining a lot, I’m using only a dry amendment I have built to use on them periodically, this way I’m not adding more liquids to the root system that is already highly saturated, essentially I’m using the following recipe update, I don’t know if it is correct but I live it all mixed. Use about a table spoon and a half every 15 days. - Azomite 500g - Natural fosfate 500g - Biochar 1kg - Bokashi 1kg -Kelp meal 500g -Mamona meal 1kg -chicken meal 1kg -Potassium silicate 500g -Gypsum farm 500g -Diatomaceous earth 500g -Bunny guano 300g -Bat guano 1kg -Oyster shell powder 1kg -Cow blood meal 1kg -Cow bones powder meal 1kg. -Wormcastings, spare use not in the mix. The plants are showing good coloring, no fade and no deficiencies, the green is not to deep, nor too light. As the leafs are taking a lot of water and strong sun and wind, the leafs are feeling a bit. As the wind is high since day 1 the stems are very resistant, strong. The Fastberry Is on the smaller size if compared to the other plants, together with the Banana purple punch, then we have the Bluedream and the CBD crack on the larger sizes thriving a lot, I expect to approach the end of flowed in a few weeks, the girls are very fast indeed. I’m looking forward to collect the fruits :)

El cambio de fotoperiodo para el inicio de floración fue el día 18 de la semana anterior. Desde ese momento de han hecho riegos con vegetativo y floración. Generalmente en 3°o 4° semana de floración elimino el vegetativo. También se a regado estimulante de floración delta 9 de manera foliar aprox cada 10 días. Recordar que doy 1 riego de fertilizante cada dos de agua sin fertilizantes por semana, donde en los riegos sin fertilizantes añado microorganismos, enzimas y calmag.

ASI TENEMOS ESTAS AUTOMATICAS DE GRANEL QUE ESTAMOS PROBANDO Y HUELEN MUY BIEN ESTOY REGANDO CADA PLANTA CON 3 LITROS CADA DIA, HACE 40 GRADOS EN LA TERRAZA 1600 EC PH 6,4

End of week 2, been a bit inconsistent this week with the pictures, but overall it looks good !

Week 15 still white pistils some turn brown cant wait to cut it down Fed ripen for 2 days now

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 13 The Solo Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Solo 🍬👑🌸🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our girl... She keeps surprising me. Week after week. 😂🍬 Just when I think I've got a pretty good idea of what Candy Rain is going to do... she looks at me and says: "Actually... no." 😂🌸 More beautiful. More dense. More compact. More flowers. More structure. More of everything. And honestly? I don't think she likes being called our "solo survivor" anymore. 😂😂😂 Because she's doing everything she possibly can to look like more than one plant. She's filling her space. She's building flowers everywhere. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as simply "the little solo girl." She's one plant... but she's behaving like she's trying to bring a whole fucking team with her. 😂🍬🌿👑 And I absolutely love it. She's lush. She's green. She's beautiful. She's moving at her own rhythm. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here... watching. Supporting. Providing what she needs. And trying to keep up with whatever the hell she has decided to do next. 😂 So this week... the spotlight belongs to our Candy Rain girl. Let's make her shine. 🍬✨🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🍬 WEEK 13 – THE SOLO SURVIVOR IS REFUSING TO BE SOLO I think we've officially reached the point where the nickname "solo survivor" is becoming misleading. 😂 Because yes... technically... there is only one Candy Rain plant. But look at her. Seriously. LOOK AT HER. 😂🌸🍬 She's filling herself with flowers. She's creating more and more individual flowering structures. She's becoming denser. She's becoming more compact. She's becoming fuller. And every time I look at her, I find another little section that has developed further. It's almost like she's saying: "Okay, maybe I'm alone... but I'm going to make sure nobody notices." 😂😂😂 And honestly? She's doing a damn good job. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. Not because she's trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Not because she's trying to compete. But because she's simply continuing to develop at her own rhythm. And that rhythm is beautiful. 🍬🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 MORE BUDS, MORE DENSITY, MORE CANDY RAIN The biggest thing I'm noticing this week is simply how much more there is to look at. More flowers. More density. More compact structures. More development. More detail. It's one of those plants where you can stand there and think: "Okay... beautiful." Then you look a little closer: "Oh..." 😂 And then closer again: "Wait... there's another one there." 😂🍬🌸 That's what she's doing now. She's filling the plant. She's making herself increasingly substantial. And I really like the compact character we're seeing from her. She's not simply stretching everything out. She's developing these beautiful, increasingly dense flowering structures that give the plant a really full appearance. The photographs this week really show that progression. She's not just flowering anymore. She's becoming. And there's a big difference. ──────────────────────── 💚 THAT BEAUTIFUL GREEN And then there's the colour. 🍬💚🌿 She's still giving us that beautiful, lush green appearance. And honestly... I love it. There's something about a healthy-looking green plant that never gets old for me. Especially when you start combining that colour with developing flowers, frost and structure. She has that beautiful contrast. Green foliage. Developing flowers. Resin catching the light. Different textures. Different shades. And all of it coming together into one very pretty girl. She's not trying to turn herself into something else. She's simply being Candy Rain. And Candy Rain is green. 😂💚🍬 Very, very green. And I like it. ──────────────────────── 👑 ONE PLANT TRYING TO BECOME MANY This is probably my favourite thing about her right now. She's one plant... but she doesn't look like she wants to behave like one. 😂😂😂 It's almost as if she's trying to multiply herself through the number of flowering structures she's creating. One girl. Many personalities. Many flowers. Many little places demanding attention. And somehow she keeps making the plant look fuller. It's hilarious. Because I originally called her our solo survivor. Now I'm starting to think she's offended by the word "solo." 😂🍬👑 She's basically saying: "Don't call me alone. Look how many flowers I have." 😂🌸🌸🌸 Fair enough, girl. Message received. You may technically be one... but you're certainly making enough noise for several. ──────────────────────── 🔥 SHE KEEPS GETTING BETTER And this is what I really enjoy about following her. She doesn't seem to have reached a point where I think: "Okay, that's it. That's what she's going to be." Every week there's something new. A little more density. A little more flower. A little more structure. A little more frost. A little more presence. And suddenly... she looks better again. That's what makes the weekly diary so valuable. If you only saw this girl today, you might simply say: "Beautiful Candy Rain." But because we've been watching her week after week... we can see the journey. We can see the progression. We can see the plant slowly becoming more and more substantial. And I absolutely love that. 🍬🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE GETTING MORE INTERESTING And these photographs? I really like them. 📸🍬 Because we're now at the stage where the individual flowers are starting to tell more of the story. The wider shots show the plant. The closer shots show the structure. And then the really close views... well... that's where you start getting lost. 😂🔬🌸 You see the density. You see the developing resin. You see the flower structures becoming more compact. You see the little details that are easy to miss from across the room. And that's exactly why I love documenting these girls. The plant doesn't change overnight. But when you put the photographs from several weeks together... suddenly you can see just how much has happened. ──────────────────────── 🍬 OUR SOLO SURVIVOR HAS CHARACTER She's really become one of the characters of the 8×8. And I think that's worth saying. At the beginning, she was simply: "Our solo survivor." Now? She's Candy Rain. 😂🍬👑 She has her own rhythm. Her own structure. Her own colour. Her own way of developing. Her own personality. And I genuinely look forward to seeing what she's doing when I walk into the room. That's when you know a plant has become more than just another plant. You start recognizing her. You start understanding her. You start noticing the little differences. And that's one of the most beautiful things about growing multiple phenotypes. You stop seeing twelve labels. You start seeing twelve personalities. Candy Rain has definitely developed hers. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT STORY And of course... we come back to one of the foundations of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. 🍬☀️🌿 The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the room. We're still working with the expanded lighting capability at controlled output. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug With around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Candy Rain is receiving those same photons as everybody else. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming dense. She's becoming compact. She's filling her structure. She's becoming more and more beautiful. The photons are the same. The response isn't. And that's the experiment. That's the magic. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS SHINING I continue to really enjoy what the expanded lighting setup has brought to this room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us more capability. More flexibility. More available lighting capacity. But we're not simply running everything at maximum just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're watching the plants. And we're letting them tell us their story. Candy Rain is definitely talking. 😂🍬 She's saying: "More flowers, please." 😂🌸 And apparently... she's taking the photons and doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION This is another beautiful example of why I love having these individual diaries. If somebody only followed Candy Rain... they might think: "This is what the room looks like." But it's not. This is what Candy Rain looks like. The room is the constant. The plant is the variable. And that's what makes this entire project so interesting. Some girls are tall. Some are compact. Some are huge. Some are slow. Some are fast. Some are frosty monsters. Some are heavy beasts. Some are elegant. Some are strange. And Candy Rain? She's the beautiful solo girl who's apparently trying to become a whole crowd. 😂🍬🌸👑 I wouldn't change that. ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M MOSTLY JUST SUPPORTING HER NOW And honestly... there isn't much for me to do. She's doing the work. I'm observing. I'm supporting. I'm providing what she wants. And when she needs something... I respond. That's it. There's no need for me to constantly interfere. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's flowering. She's getting denser. She's becoming more substantial. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. So my job becomes simple. Look. Observe. Listen. Support. And let her grow. 🌱💚 Sometimes the smartest thing a grower can do is realize that the plant doesn't need to be "fixed." It just needs to be allowed to continue. And Candy Rain? She's continuing beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🍬 SHE'S MAKING THIS ROUND CRAZY I think this is the best way to describe the current stage. She's giving us a crazy round. 😂🔥🍬 Not because she's trying to break records. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. But because every time I think I've understood her... she gives us another little surprise. More density. More flowers. More compact structure. More beauty. More frost. More green. More personality. And I love it. This is exactly why I don't want to put expectations on these plants. Let them show us. Let them tell us. Let them surprise us. Candy Rain is doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP And yes... the frost is still part of her story. 🍬❄️✨ As the flowers become more substantial, that resin-covered character becomes more noticeable. You can see it catching the light. You can see it on the developing flowers. And when you combine that with her beautiful green colour... she has a really attractive appearance. She's not just green. She's green with sparkle. 😂💚✨ And that's a combination I can absolutely get behind. ──────────────────────── 🌸 COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN SMALL This is another little observation I really like with her. She's becoming more compact. More dense. More filled. But that doesn't mean she's insignificant. Quite the opposite. The compactness is part of her character. The flowers are becoming substantial within that structure. She's filling the plant instead of simply extending it. And that's what makes her interesting. She's not trying to be the tallest girl in the room. She's trying to be the girl with flowers everywhere. 😂🍬🌸 And she's succeeding. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not creating a completely different world around Candy Rain. She's part of the same room. Same general foundation. Same approach. And then... we observe what she does with it. And what she's doing is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. 🍬💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE 8×8 EXPERIMENT KEEPS TEACHING US And this is why I keep coming back to the same point. The 8×8 isn't about finding one perfect plant. It's about seeing the differences. It's about watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. And Candy Rain is giving us another beautiful example. She's showing us that one plant can have a completely different rhythm from another. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to be the frostiest. She doesn't need to be the most colourful. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing exactly that. 🍬🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 👑 ONE GIRL – MANY STORIES Our solo survivor. Our glamorous survivor. Our increasingly loud survivor. And now... our girl who's apparently trying to become a whole family. 😂🍬🌸 I love the contradiction. One plant. So many flowers. One root system. So many flowering structures. One girl. So much personality. She's proving that "solo" doesn't necessarily mean lonely. 😂 She's got plenty going on. And honestly... she looks like she's having a fantastic time doing it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm watching: 🌸 Continued flower development. 🍬 More stacking. 💚 That beautiful lush green colour. ❄️ Continued frost development. 🌿 Increasing density and compactness. 👀 Her overall progression. 📸 And, of course, documenting every step of the journey. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm not trying to predict exactly where she's going. I'm simply watching. Because right now... the story is beautiful. And she's still writing it. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? Hopefully... more surprises. 😂🍬 More flowers. More density. More frost. More development. More beautiful green. And probably another week where I walk into the room and say: "Well... you did it again." 😂😂😂 That's Candy Rain. She's going to do what Candy Rain wants to do. And my job is simply to give her the opportunity. Provide what she needs. Support her when she asks. And let her shine. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE SOLO GIRL WHO ISN'T ACTING SOLO Week 13. Candy Rain Auto. 🍬👑🌸 And this girl keeps surprising me. She's becoming more beautiful. More dense. More compact. More full of flowers. More frosty. And somehow... more herself. That's probably what I love most. She's not trying to become another plant. She's not trying to follow somebody else's schedule. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's simply doing Candy Rain things. 😂🍬 And apparently... Candy Rain things include trying to make one plant look like several. 😂😂😂 She's lush. She's green. She's compact. She's developing beautiful flowers throughout her structure. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's giving us one hell of a round. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to force her. I'm not going to compare her. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep supporting. Keep documenting. And keep enjoying this beautiful girl. 🍬🌿💚 Because sometimes... the solo survivor becomes one of the most memorable plants in the entire room. And I think Candy Rain is doing exactly that. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that beautiful green. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate those compact flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the personality. And let's see just how much more this girl wants to surprise us with. 🍬✨🌸🔥 Candy Rain... you may be one plant... but you're making enough noise for several. 😂👑 Keep doing your thing, girl. Keep stacking. Keep building. Keep shining. Keep being beautifully, stubbornly, wonderfully YOU. 🍬💚🌿✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Candy Rain genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow throughout this adventure. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to remind me that every plant has her own personality. And Candy Rain? She's becoming one of my favourites to watch. 🍬💚👑 She started this journey as our solo survivor. Now she's apparently trying to prove that one plant can look like several. 😂🌸🌸🌸 She's beautiful. She's lush. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. She's developing. She's doing her own thing. And I'm simply here to support her and give her what she asks for. That's the relationship. The plant does the work. The grower listens. And when the plant says: "Keep going." We keep going. 🍬🌿💚 So let's give our girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's enjoy this crazy round she's giving us. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's see what Candy Rain decides to show us next. Because if this girl has taught me anything... it's that she's not finished surprising us. Not even close. 😂🍬🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep stacking, the green keeps shining, and our solo survivor continues doing everything she can to prove that one plant... can still make a hell of a lot of noise. 🍬👑🌸💚 Let her shine.

stopped feeding the plants nutrients let them flush for the final few weeks.

i looked awesome all growcycle...i streched alot & i noticed it drank alot more then the other plants while growing...had a good yield, i´m very happy overall

Diese Woche verlief größtenteils planmäßig und ohne größere Zwischenfälle. Leider habe ich ein paar Thripse entdeckt, was mich dazu veranlasst hat, sofort zu handeln. Ich habe die betroffenen Pflanzen mit Neemöl behandelt, um einem größeren Befall vorzubeugen. Die Pflanzen zeigen weiterhin ein gesundes Wachstum, reagieren gut auf die Pflege und entwickeln sich wie erwartet. Maßnahmen der Woche: Sichtkontrolle auf Schädlinge (Thripse entdeckt) Behandlung mit Neemöl Reguläre Pflege und Gießen wie gehabt Ausblick: Ich werde die Pflanzen in den kommenden Tagen weiter genau beobachten, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Wirkung der Neemölbehandlung. Falls nötig, folgt eine Nachbehandlung. Ansonsten läuft alles weiterhin nach Plan.

This is week 2
