02/14/2026 Honestly, I'm not sure that she is stretching. Filling out, yes. But stretching, no. Not sure what to make of this. She's only 17" tall and has been in the "pre flower" stretch for about a week. Or maybe it takes a week for the stretch to start? I don't know, but I'm not seeing any rapid growth. Like from yesterday to today, I see like a quarter inch difference in height. Not a stretch. That's like casual growing. I'm now wondering if the stretch has yet to start. So this week we are leaving it on Veg. For that reason, I'm not changing the water. Just topping it off as needed. Like today. I bet she needs a gallon. I think I'll change the water out when I start to see buds. Currently, I'm using a mix of grow and bloom nutrients while she transitions from veg to flower. I'm really hoping the stretch hasn't started yet. I've been saying it since I saw the first pistils. That was a week ago. She looks great! I don't understand where the vigor went. No signs of stress, hunger or toxicity. A perfectly healthy plant. No leaf discoloration. And still producing 7 finger leaves. Her branches are strong and most are almost caught up to the top. She's super wide and frankly, she doesn't have all that many leaves. They just got big. Maybe this lady is a 5 or 6 week veg time. But the pistils! Argh! The environment is pretty level. No issues there. We are at a nice 75° and 55%. The VPD is a bit high, but I also have the CO2 bag in the tent, so it can stand to be a bit warmer. I also think I can increase the light intensity, but I won't be doing that. Update: I raised the light to 25". It would be 24" but the Apple Strudel is 3" taller and I need to make sure I don't burn that one. So we are at 25" with a DLI of 35.6 mol. I increased the light power to 60% as well. Currently 195 watts. I also noticed the EC and TDS dropped quite a bit last night. Not sure why, but I might have to add more nutrients. It's happening with the Apple Strudel as well. Not really sure what to do besides continue adding nutrients until she levels out? But if she's taking in more nutrients than water, how do you stop that? Does it level out and she drinks the same amount she eats? 02/15/2026 Apparently I forgot to do an entry this day. Oops. I was busy. Real quick. Not much going on. 02/16/2026 Readings: pH: 6.05 EC: 800 TDS: 402 Temp: 66.2 The EC and TDS are still low, but now TDS is in the 400s, so that's good. I'm trying to figure out how to increase the dose without pumping the water out again. I'm going to have to wait until I need to top off again. So tomorrow it seems. Now just to figure out how much I need. It's 4 gallons, so what to do? I only need 50 ppm more. Maybe 500? I'm still trying to figure out how it works. Like if I add a certain amount, will the plant eat and drink the same amount based on a number? Like if the water was 500 ppm, and 2 days later when she's taken in a gallon of water, I see the EC and TDS at the same level. Or would 500 ppm still not be enough to keep up? I'm not exactly understanding what I'm experiencing here. I added a little micro to the mix too. I almost forgot about it. Just a little bit. I think it'll help with the TDS and might help the plant grow more. When I change the water out in a couple days, I'm going to be adding 1 ml per gallon to start. It should be like 7.5 or something, but I'm taking it slow. I'll add a bit more until I get to 5 or so and see how she does. I'm trying to not go over 500 ppm as this is an autoflower. She doesn't need a ton of food. Although, this particular strain is nutrient heavy. She could probably take 550 ppm. But I'm not doing that. I'll stick with 450 ppm until she hits full flower. Then I'll bump it up to 500 then 550, and if needed, 600. She also has started budding. Not too sure what that means for her growth. But I'm thinking she's not gonna grow much more. Shame that. However, the Apple Strudel is still growing. No budding, nothing. Well, she has pistils, but that's because she's transitioning to flower. She is going to finish stretching in a few days I think. Maybe longer. Hopefully a little longer to grow. Anyway, that's it for the day. 02/17/2026 Swapped the water out. Honestly forgot to write in today. So this is the next day. I swapped water and that was about it. 02/18/2026 Readings: pH: 5.90 EC: 809 TDS: 403 Temp: 65.1 We are looking pretty good. Is the EC supposed to be that low? The TDS is decent but I'd like to see it at 450 to 500. Temp looks great! I've been swapping the ice bottles out 3 times a day. 1 in the morning then afternoon and then evening. It's been working perfectly. The pH is spot on, as it should be. Her root ball is a bit small for my liking. I don't have a way of taking a picture of it without a second pair of hands. It's not too small. But definitely could be bigger. The root ball in the Apple Strudel is taking up the entire bucket. It's pretty cool. No pics of that either. As for after her defoliation, she showed zero signs of stress from it. Very happy plant. Leaves perky and happy looking. Nothing drooping. Just good happy plant. I also had to lift the light up again and drop the power down to 50%. Now she's 24" from the light and the DLI is 37 mol. It has to be that low because the apple Strudel is a bit taller and I don't want to burn her. As it is, she was showing signs of light stress already. Blue Dream, that is. But it's all fixed now. I really should be checking the light daily. I forget to. I only have a few inches to the ceiling. The environment looks great! No issues, equipment is barely running now. Perfect for this little lady. Speaking of little, I'm pretty sure that's it for the stretch now it's stacking time I guess. I'll take a total height measurement at the beginning of next week, but I'm pretty sure she's over 20" now. Maybe she'll get taller when the stacking starts. 02/19/2026 I think I forgot to mention a few days ago, she has buds now. So I'll be switching to bloom nutes coming next week. Well, 2 more days. I should have switched last week, but she didn't have buds yet. I was assuming she would stretch. Lol Apparently not. No clue what happened. Maybe not enough food. But she showed zero signs of stress. A very healthy plant. But no stretch. I'm hoping the stacks make it taller. If the stacks happen. I'm very confused with this plant. I mean, flowering as early as she did is pretty cool. But where did the stretch go? Anyway, I was considering topping off today, but she definitely doesn't need it. Maybe a half gallon. I want to try and hold off until I swap the water out. That way I'm not pulling out 4 gallons. With 1 being fresh. Nope. Not me. The environment is looking pretty good. No issues. I'm gonna drop the humidy next week to 50%. I'll leave the temp the same though. Roughly 75° I could get to 77°, but I'm not gonna bother. She also took really well to the defoliation. No stress that I can see. But she's still short! Why? Why Lord why?! Oh well. I'll just do my best to make sure she has massive rock hard buds. 02/20/2026 Last day of week 6 and last day of Veg. I probably should have started flower last week, but I wasn't thinking about it. Oh well. Now we have buds and the the start of flower. Tomorrow I'll be changing out the mix to bloom nutrients. Big bud, tasty terpenes and bringing back B-52 for the rest of the run. I'll be taking out Piranha, Tarantula, Voodoo Juice and Bud Ignitor. Currently I'm at a third dose for next week, so the week after, a half dose should be fine. Plus it was only ever nitrogen I was having a problem with and just barely. I figure if that's the only issue I've seen and it was the only issue. Although, it really wasn't an issue. The only thing I saw was dark tips. But the Apple Strudel got nitrogen toxicity from the Grow part of the nutrients. Not much else to report on. She's budding and that's what matters. Hopefully she stacks right up. I'll be very upset if this turns out to be a small budded plant. Too early to tell though. The environment is good. The water is low, but I'm swapping it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'm not causing any issues with her by waiting the extra day to fill the bucket up.

So here’s Week 2 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. All in all an easy week but there has been time spent reinforcing a couple of the seedlings because they are so top heavy. I check in on my seedlings at least once a day (oftentimes 2-3 times daily) just to make sure that all equipment is functioning well and temps are stable. Upon looking into the windows of the tent I discovered that the smallest seedling (the one that lost one of it’s cotyledon leaves) was tipped right over. I gently supported her with a homemade splint (a tent peg/pipe cleaner combo- pictured above) and she’s currently standing on her own again. She’s still smaller than the others but surviving, not thriving for now. I used some fresh additional soil to fill in any gaps and pack down around the bases of the other three plants’ stems. Speaking of stems/stalks- the three healthy seedlings have peeling/stretching stalks and are starting to push out their first sets of branches. Other than that, same routine as always- watering every fourth day at 1.4 litres per watering or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. I will be increasing the water sometime over week three. That’s it for now. Mom’s Tip for Week #2- Don’t Over Water! (when growing in soil of course)… When learning to read your plant’s needs, water is a very important factor to consider. I often notice other growers with tiny seedlings sitting in completely saturated pots of soil. Or read that many other growers don’t believe in placing newly sprouted seedlings into their final containers/pots. Both issues being easily resolved by simply paying close attention to your plant’s body language, it’s grow environment and sticking to a schedule. Cannabis truly thrives and benefits from a wet to almost fully dry watering cycle. From my own personal experience with photosensitive strains grown outside in the summer to growing autoflowers indoors through the fall, winter and spring- all of my Cannabis seems to do best when watered every 4th day like clockwork! This schedule is somewhat subjective of course depending on the environment that you are growing in. Here in Canada, much of our year is cool to cold and the humidity is relatively low. Because of this my plants are not always able to take in moisture from the air through their stomas so they suck up more water from what’s readily available in their pots. In other environments (ex. tropical), you may be able to stretch out this cycle- watering every 5-7 days because your plants are pulling so much water directly from the humidity in the air. And how you water your plants matters too. When starting out with newly sprouted seedlings placed into their final containers- less is more. There is no need to completely soak all of the soil in a 5-7 gallon pot. Simply start with a small amount (0.5-1 litre) directing the water to the base of the plant, working your way outwards in a circular pattern. As you increase the amount of water, I try to work my water outwards- making my circle slightly bigger each time I water until eventually I am soaking the soil surface all the way out to the edges of the pot. This process is gradual, stretched over a period of 4-6 weeks. It will encourage the roots to reach for water and allow your plants the time needed to grow into a heavy dose of H2O. Finally, learning to read your plant’s body language will help you to understand when they need and don’t need water as well as food, more/less light, temperature changes, etc. Healthy, well watered plants are generally light green with leaves slightly turned up towards the light/sun. They will be growing/thickening every day and able to support their own weight even in a very breezy environment. Leaves are soft and supple, not dry and brittle and there are usually no marks or discolouration of any kind on the foliage throughout your grow. Water quality is important too but that’s any entirely different tutorial for another time. Bountiful harvests are very possible by simply tweaking your watering schedule to suit your plants’ ultimate needs.

They are moving quickly these days! I’m using FF nutrients, then just water, then a mixture of molasses, recharge, and epsom salt, and then water again. Not sure if I’m overdoing it but they seem happy.

05.04.21 Anfang der 3ten blüte Woche.Hab mich jetzt dazu entschieden das biegen und binden ein zu stellen natürlich halte ich weiter die Blätter unter dem netzt aber ich erlaube den Ladys jetzt durch das Netz auf zu steigen hab ja noch genügend Platz nach oben(hoffe ich). Das Wachstum is immer noch ziemlich stark ich denke mal das wird sich diese Woche auch nicht wirklich viel dran ändern und sie zieht vom trinken her stark an hab anfang der ersten woche 1x 4l mit Zusätzen gegossen und das hat 7 Tage gehalten bin jetzt an Tag 15 und muss alle 4 Tage 4l giessen gutes Zeichen denke ich mal..... 06.04.21 hab heute nur Blätter unters netzt gesteckt und schon von meinem nächsten Grow geträumt..... 07.04.21 wieder ein Tag vergangen und mehr als Blätter unterm Netz halten und hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen war heut auch wieder nicht los... 08.04.21 heute war mal wieder bewässern dran und das tägliche Spiel Blätter weg stecken sonnst war nix weiter..... 09.04.21 hab das gefühl das das Wachstum anfängt sich ein zu stellen und Blätter hab ich heut wieder unters netzt gebogen was das hoch drücken der Blätter betrifft sind die Ladys ziemlich stark und eigenwillig gehe 2x täglich runter drücken unters netz werde nächstes mal eine kürzere Maschen weite fürs netz nehmen dachte 10 cm ist genug platz aber 5 cm pro Kästchen sollten sicher auch reichen das macht das spiel mit dem biegen und binden sicherlich einfacher und lässt die Blätter besser an Ort und Stelle Ach ja und ein paar Blätter hab ich heute noch entfernt ist aber auch bald mal Ende mit Blätter entfernen ich will sie nicht zu stark stressen... 10.04.21 Blätter unterm netz halten knapp 2 Std einige Blätter entfernt die von unten gegen die buds drücken sonnst war nix.... 11.04.21 hab heute wieder mal nur Blätter unters netzt gedrückt und den Pflanzen beim wachsen zu geschaut die Woche lief super bin echt stolz auf mich das ich die Finger so gut von der schere lassen könnte die letzten 21 Tage hab das netzt mal fast voll bekommen obwohl ich zu geben muss das die Masse die da wächst mir angst macht vor schimmel im späteren Verlauf des grows....

Für diesen Run habe ich versucht alles so simpel wie möglich zu halten. 3 Dünger + Ph Regulator und ein kleiner Boost den ich lediglich 2x verwendet habe. Dennoch war es eine Achterbahn der Gefühle! Bereits in der Veg-Phase ist mir die Lampe auf die Pflanze gefallen, konnte sie aber noch so fangen, dass kein schlimmer Schaden entstanden ist. Danach entwickelte sich die Pflanze toll und ich dachte: "das wird noch besser als der letzte Run", bis die ersten Lockout Symptome erschienen, woraufhin ich die Zkittlez geflusht und danach leicht gedüngt habe, bis sie sich erholt hat. Jedoch lauerte der Endgegner bereits im Dickicht der Buds... Boytritis 💀 Drei sehr große Buds wurden entfernt, um auf Nummer Sicher zu gehen bis zum nächsten Bud-Ansatz. n, ich habe diesmal beide Ventilatoren unterhalb der Pflanze aufgestellt und von unten in die Pflanze geblasen. Im oberen Bereich konnte sich dann trotz der Abluft die Luftfeuchtigkeit sammeln... Wieder was gelernt! Update in ein paar Tagen

The Olympia Auto has just entered flowering. The plant has remained quite small, likely due to the intense cold stress (temperatures below 10ºC) it experienced—similar to other autos I'm cultivating this season. Despite its size, I'm impressed by how much it’s stretching in this phase; it just keeps growing. The aroma is still weak but gradually increasing each day. Health: The plant looks healthy and beautiful. It’s a shame that only one plant emerged from the seed pack, but even though I haven’t harvested yet, I’m eager to grow this strain again! Ambient Conditions: This week started off hot (with a minimum of 23ºC and a maximum of 30ºC), but a cold front has now brought temperatures back down (with a minimum of 11ºC and a maximum of 20ºC). Humidity remains quite low, around 30-35%. Training: I haven’t done any training or defoliation on this plant. Fertilization: I applied Ekosil (silica + potassium), another dose of bokashi, and a dose of nitrogen, with one more nitrogen application planned for the end of this week. Pest Control: I'm continuing with Beauveria treatments, and I no longer have issues with the fungus gnats that had appeared earlier. Watering: I’ve been watering the plant very minimally, as the substrate has been staying moist on its own. Looking Forward: From this point on, there’s not much left to do except watch the flowering progress.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 10 | The Slow Girl Is Stealing the Spotlight 👑🍑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 Well... I think we may need to have a little conversation with Passion Fruitz. Because last week, she was still the girl who refused to hurry. This week? She has apparently decided to make up for lost time. 😂🍑 And honestly... WOW. Look at her. Deep, dark green foliage. Beautiful blue-green tones appearing through the leaves. Big leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Buds developing all over the plant. And an overall appearance that has me standing there thinking: "Okay, girl... I see you." 👀🍑 She may have spent weeks making us wait... but now she's starting to look like she has something to prove. And I absolutely love it. 🍑 From Slowest Girl to Spotlight Thief If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, you already know her story. She was the slow girl. The patient girl. The one who looked at the flowering calendar and basically said: "That's nice. I'm working on my own schedule." 😂 She took her time transitioning. She made us wait. She made us wonder. And honestly, she probably made me say: "Come on, girl..." more than once. 😂 But now? I'm not asking her to hurry anymore. Because she's showing us exactly what she was preparing for. She's flowering. She's building. And she's doing it beautifully. The plant has completely changed the feeling of her story. We're no longer watching a girl waiting to decide what she wants to do. We're watching a girl that has decided. She's flowering. And she's going for it. 🌿 That Green... Let's start with the obvious. Because you don't need me to tell you what the photographs are already showing. Look at that foliage. That deep, rich, dark green is absolutely gorgeous. And there's something else I really like this week: those subtle blue-green tones appearing through some of the leaves. That combination gives her an incredible visual character. She's lush. She's vibrant. She's full. And she's carrying some seriously impressive leaves. This is one of those plants where you can stand back and appreciate the whole structure... but then you get closer and realize: there's even more happening. Big leaves. New growth. Flowering sites. Developing buds. And more flowers appearing throughout the plant. She's looking fantastic. 🌸 And Now... Look at the Buds This is the part I've been waiting to see. Flower formation is happening everywhere. And I'm really enjoying the way she's developing. The flowering sites are becoming much more obvious now, and we're starting to see the plant's energy shifting toward those developing flowers. They're not just tiny points of growth anymore. They're becoming recognizable structures. They're starting to give the plant that unmistakable flowering personality. And there are buds all over the place. Top. Middle. Throughout the structure. Everywhere I look, she's giving me another little reason to smile. 🍑🌸 And honestly? For a girl who spent so long telling us to be patient... she's doing a pretty good job of making the waiting worthwhile. 👑 Is Passion Fruitz Coming for the Crown? Now this is where things get interesting. Because we're running a whole room full of personalities. Every plant has its own story. Every phenotype has its own strengths. And every week, someone seems to step forward and say: "Maybe I'm the one." 😂👑 Well... Passion Fruitz has definitely stepped forward. She's looking amazing. She's lush. She's dark. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's got enormous leaves. She's got flowering sites everywhere. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. But I'm not giving her the crown yet. Not yet. Because the 8×8 Adventure isn't finished. We've still got a whole room full of girls competing for our attention. And that's what makes this so much fun. Right now? They all have the crown. 👑 Every phenotype has something special. But Passion Fruitz... oh my God. She's making a very serious argument for hers. 😂🍑👑 🌱 The Girl Has Found Her Rhythm This is probably the biggest difference I see compared with the previous updates. She feels settled. Earlier, the big question was: "When are you actually going to flower?" Now that question has disappeared. She's answered it. She's flowering. She's building. She's developing. And she's doing it with an incredible amount of foliage supporting that process. The plant has spent a long time establishing herself. And now we're getting to see the result. It's almost like she was quietly saying: "Just wait. You'll see." Well... I'm seeing it now. 😂 🍃 Big Leaves, Big Potential One of the characteristics I've always liked about this phenotype is those large leaves. And now they're creating such a beautiful contrast with the developing flowers. You've got these big, dark fan leaves surrounding the flowering sites, creating this incredibly lush appearance. When I look at her, I don't see a plant that's struggling to find her way. I see a plant that has built a substantial framework and is now putting that framework to work. And that makes me very curious about what she'll look like as flowering progresses even further. Because if this is where we're at now... what happens next? 🍑👀 That's the fun part. 💡 Catching Every Photon And just like the other girls in this room, Passion Fruitz is making use of the environment we've created. Those big leaves aren't just beautiful to look at. They're part of the plant's engine. They're positioned throughout her structure, intercepting the available light and supporting the plant's ongoing development. The room continues to provide the same overall lighting philosophy we've been using throughout the run. And she's clearly making use of it. She's not hiding. She's not wasting the opportunity. She's presenting leaves to the light... and turning that energy into growth. She's catching photons wherever she can. 💡🌿 And judging by how she's looking right now... she's catching plenty. 🌿 Same Room. Different Personalities. This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We're not giving every plant a completely different world. We're providing a consistent foundation. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same overall feeding approach. And then we watch. And what do we get? Completely different personalities. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some are hungry. Some are relaxed. Some are incredibly aromatic. Some take forever to flower. And then... there's Passion Fruitz. She spent half the story making us wait... and now she's trying to steal everybody else's spotlight. 😂🍑 That's phenotype hunting. And I wouldn't change it for anything. ⚗️ Feeding – No Complaints Here The room continues following the established flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current readings remain approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.0 ⚡ EC – 2.0 mS/cm And honestly... I have no complaints about this girl. She's looking lush. She's growing beautifully. She's developing flowers. She's maintaining that deep colour. She's producing new growth. Everything I'm seeing from the plant is telling me: "Keep doing what you're doing." So that's exactly what we're doing. Consistency. Observation. Patience. And letting her show us what she's capable of. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues to run under stable conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 636 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h And again, that consistency is important. Because when one phenotype suddenly starts looking this impressive, we can appreciate that we're seeing her expression within the same broader environment as everyone else. That's the experiment. We create the stage. The genetics write the performance. And Passion Fruitz is starting to put on quite a show. 📸 Behind the Lens This girl is becoming an absolute pleasure to photograph. There is so much texture in her right now. The dark foliage. The blue-green tones. The large leaves. The emerging flowers. The little details appearing everywhere. And every photograph seems to reveal another part of the plant. This is also why I love photographing the same plant week after week. You don't always notice gradual changes when you're looking at her every day. But put the photographs side by side? Suddenly... there she is. The difference becomes obvious. The structure has changed. The flowers have developed. The plant has matured. And the story has moved forward. Photography freezes the moment. The diary connects the moments. And Passion Fruitz is giving us some beautiful moments right now. 📸🍑💚 👑 Everyone Has a Crown I keep coming back to this because it's becoming increasingly difficult to choose favourites. 😂 One week, someone else steals the show. Then another plant decides she's going to be the star. Now Passion Fruitz has walked onto the stage with those enormous dark leaves and beautiful developing flowers and said: "Move over." 😂🍑👑 But here's the thing. I don't actually want one winner yet. Not now. They're all showing us something different. They're all expressing themselves differently. And they're all contributing to the story of this run. So for now... every girl gets a crown. 👑👑👑👑👑 We'll see who still has hers when we reach the finish line. 🔍 What Am I Watching Now? My questions for Passion Fruitz have completely changed. I'm no longer asking: "When will she start flowering?" She has answered that. Now I'm asking: How far is she going to take this? How much will those developing flowers build? How will that beautiful dark foliage evolve as flowering progresses? How much more structure will appear? How will the buds develop from here? And perhaps the most exciting question: Can this girl really steal the crown from the rest of the room? 😂👑🍑 I don't know. But she's certainly making the competition interesting. 🍑 From Patience to Potential Looking back at her previous updates makes this week even more satisfying. For so long, Passion Fruitz was the plant we had to explain. "She's slow." "She's taking her time." "She's still transitioning." "Let's wait." And now? We don't need to explain anything. Just look at her. She's saying it herself. I'm here. And she looks beautiful. That's one of my favourite things about growing. Sometimes patience isn't passive. Sometimes you're simply waiting for the plant to reveal what it has been building all along. And Passion Fruitz may have been doing exactly that. 🌸 The Story Is Just Getting Started Even though we're already at Week 10, I feel like this is actually the beginning of a very interesting chapter for her. The plant has established her identity. The flowers are clearly forming. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is spectacular. And now we get to watch the flowering development continue. That's where the real curiosity begins. Because we know what she looks like today. But we don't know what she'll look like after several more weeks of development. And that's why I'm keeping the camera ready. 🍑📸 Something tells me we're going to have some fun with this girl. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what's next for Passion Fruitz? More observation. More photography. More flower development. More waiting... although hopefully not the three-week "almost flowering" waiting game again. 😂 She's finally moving. She's finally showing us what she's capable of. And I'm very happy to simply watch her continue. No unnecessary forcing. No trying to turn her into another phenotype. She's already showing us exactly who she is. And right now... I really like who she is. 🍑 Week 10 – The Spotlight Is Getting Crowded So here we are. Passion Fruitz. Week 10. The girl who refused to hurry. The girl who made us wait. The girl who spent weeks quietly building her foundation. And now... look at her. 🌿 Deep green. 💙 Beautiful blue-green tones. 🍃 Huge leaves. 🌸 Flowering sites everywhere. 🍑 Beautiful bud formation. 👑 And an attitude that says she may be coming for the crown. I genuinely have no complaints. None. She's growing beautifully. She's looking incredibly healthy. She's developing exactly the kind of flowering structure that makes me excited to see what happens next. And honestly? She's amazing. So let's give her what she deserves. The spotlight. The camera. The crown. At least for this week. 😂👑📸 Because next week... someone else might come along and try to steal it. That's the beauty of the 8×8 Adventure. Nobody gets to keep the spotlight forever. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Every week, this project becomes a little more interesting. Twelve genetic stories. More than twenty plants. One shared ecosystem. And completely different personalities emerging right in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who takes a few minutes to stop and look at these girls. Thank you. 💚 And Passion Fruitz? Well... you spent weeks telling us to be patient. Now you've got our attention. 😂🍑👑 You're lush. You're dark green. You're showing beautiful blue-green tones. You've got enormous leaves. You've got flowers developing everywhere. And you're looking absolutely incredible. So yes... take the spotlight, girl. Enjoy it. Because around here, the crown is never guaranteed. For now, though? Passion Fruitz has earned her moment. 👑🍑🌿 Let's see where she takes us. Let's see whether she can keep that crown. And let's see what happens when this slow girl finally decides to show us just how much she's been holding back. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics are unpredictable, and Passion Fruitz is suddenly looking like she has something very serious to say. 🍑👑🔥

Had some setbacks as expected since this is my first grow. I had her to close to the light and she wasn't getting taller. Now that I lowered her she's stretching. I had lst problems ,I just over did it and fimmed to many times to close together. She's happier now. I accidentally gave her the wrong feeding but she's recovering from that.

Beginning of week.. So I had to make a last minute decision to go ahead and put her into my 2x2x5 with the WAKYME J2000 at 50% power. Hovering about 12 - 14 inches above the canopy and recieving roughly about 700 μMols in the center down to 500 μMols around the edges.. So when I get the center to about 900 - 950 μMols.. The edges should still be getting a good 700+ μMols! Fucking awesome!.. Nothing like running an overkill light at lower power in order to keep temps down and also to help the lifetime of the components! So for the next 2 - 3 weeks I will be going 50/50 with FloraGro and FloraBloom while she begins to flower.. I dont like counting the transition weeks as flower, some phenos and genos can transition in 1 week.. Some in about 3 weeks.. Had one take almost 4 weeks!! But I don't care to count the transition weeks as flower.. So she is receieving only 12 hours of light as of today.. Will begin counting flower when I see she is for sure stretching and for sure packin on the pistils at the crowns. She is going to need some defoliation and ALOT of branches to be removed.. May still try to ScrOG this 2×2.. Lol.. That just sounds funny.. I forgot how tiny this 2x2 is. Kinda taller than normal 2x2s so that should help a little if I need to raise the light any... She barely fits in here lol.. Thats fine.. I just need to make sure she stays under a 2 foot stretch and everything else will be perfect for this girl.. Runoff is coming out perfect.. RH is... Meh lol.. Its good.. It hovers up and down alot with the AC cutting off and on.. Cant wait for cooler temps!!! I love the winter.. So much easier to keep temps down.. I will be defoliating within the next couple days.. So by next update she will look a little different.. But damn she is so beautiful! Lol Mid week.. So she has been lollipopped and branches adjusted a bit.. Not much else to report on.. Just waiting for the pistils to start poppin out of everywhere!.. Just 1 day after defoliation and she has noticeably filled out her canopy a bit! Can't wait can't wait CAN'T WAIT to see what this girl can do! End of week.. Seems like she is at the very beginning of stretching.. 2 days ago I removed some inner facing leaves and they have already been replaced by the next same facing node! Cant really notice it because her tops arent getting ridiculously close to the light.. But that is definitely a sign of her stretching soon. I'll even bet it's noticeable before the middle of next week. Well.. On to the next week!!!...

This was a beautiful week. Massive THC production my trichromes are covering the white widow plant in crystals. Its an icy plant with its sunscreen on. Looking absolutely gorgeous. I finished defoliation. Removed most all of the fan leaves so the plants can focus on bud production and amp up those clusters. The blueberry plant is starting to fruit up as well. It will end up going an extra week so its production is right on point. The white widow plant is just some crazy good genetics. Of my 7 new nursery plants the two white widows that I have are head and shoulders above the rest of the plants. I am excited to see what the 12/12 from seed does for them with our new super soil setup. The plants have received their full doses of flower food and flower finisher. They are going to ride out the week on just water because they started to burn with the influx of the flower finisher. It seems to absorb more potently than the regular flower food does. I will does the plants some of the flower finisher food about halfway through the next week so as not to burn the plants. After that we will flush the soil with just water for the remainder of the grow so as not to have any extra nutrients flooding the plant before harvest.

🇺🇸 Second week of flower. Everything looks great. I connected the carbon filter because the smell is starting to get pretty strong. Still watering only with water and everything is running as it should. Chemdogging x HubbabubbaHaze smells just like classic Hubba Bubba bubblegum. Wedding smells more like candy. Strong stems and healthy leaves. The lower part of the plant is starting to yellow a bit but nothing serious. Happy growing. 🌱 🇨🇿Druhý týden květu. Zapojil jsem pachový filtr, protože už to začíná být dost cítit. Pořád zalévám jen vodou a všechno jede jak má. Chemdogging x HubbabubbaHaze voní fakt jako klasické HubbaBubba žvýkačky. Wedding zase spíš jako bonbon. Maj silné stonky a zdravé listy. Spodní patro začíná trochu žloutnout. Growu zdar.
