I'm not sure why, but I don't like the way she's growing :( I supposed that my plant problem is the over watering. So no I inserted an air pipe directly in the rockwool cube to give more oxygen to the roots and let they get more nutrients. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: IN THE NEXT SET UP ADD A STONE WITH AIR PUMP DIRECTLY IN THE BASKET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will leave the pipe all night and see how the plant will look tomorrow. Cross fingers.

Update coming.

Tag 15: 🌱: Anscheinend hat mir die kleine Dame das gestrige Topping nicht zu übel genommen. Ich würde sogar behaupten, sie hat mittlerweile den Schock überwunden und das Wachstum wieder aufgenommen. Außerdem hat sie sich selbst bereits so gedreht, dass der Platz im Topf / in der Box gut ausgenutzt werden kann. 💧: Da die Erde um die Pflanze herum noch etwas feucht ist, wird erst morgen wieder gegossen. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~16) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen auf den Fächerblättern machen mir etwas Sorgen. Vielleicht ein Stickstoffmangel? Morgen gibt es vermutlich etwas mehr vom Bio Grow und dann wird die Sache weiter beobachtet. Tag 16: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. 💧: Heute war die Erde trocken, daher gab es 1 Liter Nährstofflösung. 💡: DLI wurde auf 18 erhöht. Tag 17: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. Die Triebe entwickeln sich gut, ich denke am Wochenende kann ich mit dem LST beginnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~18) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen scheinen sich auch auf den neuen Fächerblättern auszubilden, trotz extra Dosis Bio Grow und AlgaMic...wird weiter aufmerksam beobachtet. Tag 18: 🌱: Heute wurde vorsichtig mit dem LST begonnen und die 2 oberen Haupttriebe wurden etwas nach unten gezwungen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde etwas hochgeregelt, auf einen DLI von ca. 20 (ca. 45cm Abstand). 🤔: So langsam machen mir die hellen Stellen immer mehr Sorgen. Die extra Dosis Bio Grow scheint daran nichts verändert zu haben und auch die kleine Dosis AlgAMic scheint nichts zu bewirken. Nach etwas weiterer Nachforschung denke ich, es könnte vielleicht auch ein Magnesiummangel sein. Laut Versorger hat das Leitungswasser: Calcium=89,6mg/l | Magnesium=6,2mg/l. Vermutlich fahre ich morgen mal in den Baumarkt und kaufe Bittersalz... Tag 19: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Trotzdem gab es für die kleine ein wenig Wasser aus der Spühflasche (ph-Wert 6,4) mit etwas Bittersalz (ca. 0,25g/l) 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 20: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst und mit dem LST der unteren Triebe begonnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Zusätzlich gab es jedoch ein paar Sprühstöße mit dem Bittersalzwasser. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 21: 🌱: Heute wurde mal wieder die Schere angesetzt. Zum Opfer fielen ihr die untersten, ersten Blattpaare am Stamm (1- bzw. 3-fingrig), 1-2 nach innen wachsende Blätter die die Triebe verschatteten, sowie die ersten Nebentriebe der unteren 2 Nebenarme. Zusätzlich wurde das LST nachjustiert. Ansonsten sehen die neueren Blätter aus, als würde sie gut auf das Bittersalz im Wasser reagieren. 💧: Erde ist noch feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.

Lemon Cherry is smelling amazing, they look as though they should finish quick, but I'll try to hold harvest until late this time. Not doing any special treatments, feeding nuts about once a week full biobizz schedule and taking down sick leaves. AK will probably finish last, looking very pretty.

Sta andando alla grande le gemme purtroppo di piccole dimensioni ma niente male

Amelie has settled in well in the new tent and has gained 4cm in height this week. As she had been standing on the piano by the window under a 7W lamp for a really long time, waiting for a tent to finally become available, she had produced a lot of leaf material. This now had to come down. On 08.03.25 I therefore lollipopped and did some defoliation on the leaf canopy. Now it is nice and airy again and can concentrate fully on flowering. Incidentally, the pistils were already visible on 03.03., 8 days after the start of flowering. I had sent the mother into flowering in the previous run and fed her with Biobizz Grow/Bloom/Calmag and Plagron Green Sensation. As I still have a sample of Biobizz Topmax here, I thought I'd give it a try and see what effect it has on the taste. It's supposed to be sweeter, I've heard.

Took a while to get there but OMG little note quick! So I started her in a 1 litre pot and stuck her on top of a 1.5L Pepsi bottle with the top chopped off! And she yielded heavily for that amount of soil a whopping! 224.63 wet weight so can’t wait to see what she holds dry because them buds were like boulders! So dense! I will be back to document her dry weight and then a couple of weeks later with the update on the smoke report! But I know it’s going to be so loud! She has deep pungent aromas like gassy and sweet! She’s going to be a powerhouse! She was a little over as today a banana developed but that just tells me “well done” timing just right! She’s a little long for my taste of auto but I do suggest anyone grow her she’s amazing! In the end!

Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 5 | The Lone Survivor Begins Her Journey Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every diary in this project tells a different story, and today’s update belongs to one of the most unique plants in the room. Meet Passion Fruitz. The only survivor from her seed pack. Sometimes growing reminds us that nature doesn’t always follow our plans. Not every seed germinates, not every seedling makes it through the first few days, and sometimes a single plant ends up carrying the hopes of an entire variety. Fortunately… She chose to fight. And she’s proving that determination can be every bit as important as speed. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of giving the plants an extended vegetative period before flowering, every seed has remained under a constant 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness since germination. The objective is simple: Allow every phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern while comparing how different genetics respond under identical environmental conditions. Every plant receives the same room… The same lighting… The same climate… The same care. Yet every single one develops its own personality. Passion Fruitz is certainly doing exactly that. ⸻ 🌿 Small in Size… Big in Character Compared to some of the larger ladies sharing the room, Passion Fruitz is definitely taking a slower approach. At around 25 cm tall, she’s currently one of the most compact plants in the entire project. She’s a few days behind some of the other genetics, but that’s perfectly normal. Every cultivar develops at its own pace, and this one has clearly decided that patience is part of her strategy. Rather than stretching aggressively, she’s building herself from the inside out. Short internodes. Dense branching. Compact growth. Everything about her suggests she’s focusing on creating a strong foundation before making her move. Sometimes the slow starters become the biggest surprises later on. ⸻ 🍃 Beautiful, Healthy Growth One thing that immediately stands out is the quality of her foliage. Her leaves are absolutely beautiful. Rich green colour. Excellent turgor. Compact node spacing. Healthy new growth continues to emerge from every growing tip, giving the plant a very balanced appearance despite her smaller stature. Looking closely at the newest growth, it’s easy to see she’s gathering momentum. She’s quietly preparing for the next chapter. ⸻ 💧 Feeding for Steady Progress Although she’s smaller than many of her neighbours, her feeding strategy follows the same philosophy used throughout this project. The nutrient solution has been carefully balanced to support healthy root development while providing everything needed for vigorous vegetative growth. Current feeding includes: • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • pH adjustment for optimal nutrient uptake Rather than pushing rapid growth, the goal is consistency. Healthy roots always build healthy plants. ⸻ 🌡️ The Environment Behind the Growth Like every plant in this room, Passion Fruitz benefits from a carefully controlled environment. Current conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67.7% • Solution temperature: 25°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Maintaining stable environmental conditions allows genetics—not environmental stress—to dictate how each phenotype develops. That makes comparisons between plants much more meaningful. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document every stage of her development. Studio portraits highlight her compact structure and beautifully symmetrical canopy. Close-up images reveal healthy new growth emerging from every node, while overhead shots showcase how dense and balanced the plant has become. I’ve also included updates from the grow room itself so everyone following this adventure can continue seeing not only the individual plants, but also the environment they’re growing in. Even though she’s currently one of the smallest ladies in the room, she certainly doesn’t lack personality. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead I’m genuinely excited to see how Passion Fruitz develops over the next few weeks. I have a feeling she’s simply operating on her own schedule. As her roots continue expanding and the plant settles completely into the container, I expect her growth rate to increase significantly. Sometimes the most rewarding plants are the ones that ask us to be patient. I’m not judging her by where she is today. I’m looking forward to discovering where she’ll be a month from now. And something tells me she still has a few surprises waiting for us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary tells a unique story, and that’s exactly what makes this project so rewarding to document. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a fantastic platform where growers from around the world can share knowledge, learn together, and celebrate the journey. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of growth. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable, carefully controlled environment day after day. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing advice, and joining me throughout this adventure. Whether a plant becomes the biggest in the room or the smallest survivor fighting her own battle, every one deserves her own story. Growers Love and Passion Fruitz has only just begun writing hers. 🌱💚

I’m at the home stretch now. Two weeks till harvest. This grow has flown by! The buds are really swelling. They don’t yet look as big as some of the clusters on the last harvest. But those were all untrained and had way fewer bud sites. The difference this time is there are way more buds. PH is now good too. Soil is 6.5-7.0 in most tests. I’ve just given the final feed. From now on I’m just flushing them with PH adjusted water. The Biobizz nutes are PH neutral. I suspect micro organisms in the soil are raising the PH with their waste. I’ll always add PH- to the feed from now on. There are rusty spots appearing on some of the leaves of the most stretched plant. Possibly low in magnesium. I’ve feed with calmag. The affected leaves were all close to one of the lights though. Maybe that has something to do with it? Temps and humidity are bang on. The rig in the tent is keeping the temps in the high 20s. Outside the tent it is sometimes dropping into the high teens. The humidity in the tent is around 50%. About 10-15% down on the outside room. I’m really pleased with the impact of training Seems to have had on the plants. The LST, topping and super cropping has definitely had an impact. Even with autos. Ok. So one plant stalled. It was the weakest plant, was late and was not planted in the centre of the pot. I should have LSTed only. But I topped it. Pushed it too far. I’ve learnt a massive amount on this grow.

Let’s Go Day day 61 from seed !!! This week went real well! As you can see all these girls are starting to stack very well! Everything is pretty much the same, we have switched to fully bloom an these ladies are just Looking super healthy , we are getting a nice smell of grapes on these Ogreberrys ! Bruce Banner is packing crystals like a Mofo too an super stanky , all very happy about this run ! Still got a nice few more weeks of bloom to go let’s watch em stack ! Lets grow lil ladies let’s grow !! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day ! Peace love an positive vibes to all you Growmies out there Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻 If there’s any questions please just ask I’ll be glad to help !!

This week, I started to notice deficiencies. Struggled to specifically diagnose them and I'm still not entirely sure I have... but I believe they're calcium deficiencies from watering with Reverse Osmosis H20. So, I brewed a compost tea for veg plants, and added some extra calmag. They seem to be responding well. Also started low stress training this week.

She's a nice big bush i wonder what I'm going to pull off of her... there's so many bud sizes i don't know which one to look at they are all beautiful. The strategy i took kinda payed off a got a big bush with alot of bud sizes topping and keeping just 2 main is interesting... I love playing around with those plants they are amazing Anyway we got a deficiency so I'm burping up the cal mag and a +b let's see what it brings us next week. Day 19 bloom update, we are at 90cm... that's with topping and lst and this is a little bit crazy this og kush I taking over the tent...

10/17/2022 start of week 3. Plants still look healthy. Been LST the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry for a few days and some of the lower branches are catching up. Trying to keep the canopy as uniform as possible. The Strawberry Gushers appears to be in preflower already, which is a bit concerning. Was hoping to get at least another week out of her. Orange Bubblegum is still the smallest of the three, but she continues to grow at a steady pace. I think someone pulled a fast one on me with my cover crop. I have what looks like blades of grass growing, with only a few small clovers showing up so far. Guess that is what I get for shopping on Amazon. Also, increased my DLI to 500. Not much more to report at this time. On 10/19/2022 I watered 1 liter per pot with the Rootwise and ThermX again. This amount every 2 to 3 days seems to be sufficient for their current size. The pots are wet on the bottom, but no run off. Also, removed just a few of the lowest leaves and fan leaves blocking the lower branches. The LST is allowing the lower branches to catch up. 10/21/2022 watered both the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry with about 1.5 liters each. They are both really growing fast now. The Orange Bubblegum is beginning to speed up, it's just seems like a shorter plant with shorter node spacing. I just misted the surface of the Newberry since the pot was heavier than the other two. Still doing some minor LST on the main trunk and some selective deformation and leaf tucking of leaves blocking bud sites. 10/23/2022 was a big day for the Strawberry Gushers. Top dressed with Gnarly Barley, BuildASoil Craft Blend, and BuildASoil BuildFlower, then watered 2 liters. Plant is starting to stretch so I wanted to make sure she has access to the nutrients she needs. The Newberry and Orange Bubblegum just got 1 liter like usual. Plan to top dress them as well once they get a little bigger. Avg. VPD: .8 PPFD: 500 DLI: 32

Well when i peeked in there I got super worried becuase they had BLOWN UP!!!! such big girls! But after learning lessons from The Defoliator I knew I could clean them up!!! The result was very nice!! I even went in and did some minor LST. 1 plant is a bit bigger than the rest, but really I think this is definitly gonna be the most sculpted plants i have made! Everything is going along just GREAT!!!!! ________________________________________________________________________ The week has gone by so fast!!! My flower tent is hogging all the glory with amazing buds, but these Night Owl seeds are EXPLODING!!!! There is a significant difference between the biggest plant and the smallest one, but I'm continuing to develop an even canopy and attempting to tame these bitches down!!! They are so ready for a bigger tent but I cant get them moved just yet... I'm really hopefull next week will be the move! I supercropped the hell outta them! It was very nice to have a container of SCs and LST ties to pin everything down!!! Def invest in a 3D printer!!!

20/12: Made the 2nd apical cut to the 4 arms to get the 8 colas and a full defolation of low part(i think the defolation was unnecesary but i was very excited hahaha)

Medusa 2/5 is starting to get fatter. I decided to Lollipop and remove the lower growth. Im curious to compare the colas and see if lollipopping really increases bud size. This plant really grows beautifully, two main colas in top from the topping, and all the other colas around the two main colas. I started giving green sensation PK booster this week I reckon another 4 weeks before harvest.
