Sorry for the delay, but I had to deal with several unexpected issues. The main one was realizing that most of the trichomes on these plants had already turned amber.I was convinced they were still at an earlier stage because, in my previous run with the same Critical Orange Punch from the same seed batch, they matured later. This time, however, they seemed to finish much faster, and in my opinion the stress they experienced may have played a role.Because of that, I had to act quickly and harvest the plants without carrying out the usual flush. After looking into it more carefully, I found that flushing in this case does not seem to offer any real benefit, at least according to the scientific information I came across. From what I found, flushing does not seem to make a significant difference in the final outcome in terms of taste, smoothness, or overall quality. Drying and curing probably play a much bigger role, but I would really like to hear your opinion and experience on this as well.Another thing I noticed during the last week was a clear change in the aroma inside the tent. The smell became sweeter, deeper, and far more intense.I cannot say for sure whether that was directly linked to trichome maturity, but overall I am satisfied with the result so far, especially considering the setbacks along the way. As you can see from the photos, it was a very demanding week, and trimming all the plants in just a couple of days was a real challenge.That said, the buds look absolutely beautiful and very promising. Now it is just a matter of waiting another week or two before I can give you a proper update on the smoke quality.Happy growing, everyone.

May have been using too much nitrogen as there's still lots of leaf growth. Going to try reduce levels of N and increase the ratios of P and K and hope the plant starts focusing it's energy on budding!

First time grower ! Ive been around the culture for many years and have always aspired to grow my own medicine ! I love the growing process and maintaining the plants health. That alone is therapeutic enough for me. Thanks for checking out my grow, dont be afraid to ask any questions ! Any pointers are always considered and appreciated ! The Acetylsalicylic acid is 81mg Asprin / Gal water. It promotes root health when transplanting aiding in shock. It has numbing benefits and is an anti inflammatory. Ive always heard good results and ive had no problems using it for the first grow. I cannot verify the breeder of the mother plant. I have no idea where he got his seed from.

What an amazing auto to grow. She gave no problems whatsoever. She loved her weekly compost extraction watering and responded brilliantly after each. Although slightly overshadowed by her growing room partner, she still managed a pretty good yield Weighting in at 52.3g of flower, probably the dencest and hardest buds I've grown so far. Also pulled 18g of trim for extraction. Follow me here https://www.theweedtube.com/user/Mr.PersonalGrow

🌸 Folder 09A | Pink Rosay Auto Week 2 – Building the Foundation of Something Special Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own diary and every plant is allowed to tell its own story. This week belongs to Pink Rosay Auto 09A. From the moment she settled into her new home, she has done little else but impress. Strong growth. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. And perhaps most exciting of all… An incredible willingness to respond to every bit of training she’s received. Some plants fight you. Others work with you. Pink Rosay A already feels like she’s becoming a true partner in this grow. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions Every plant in the project continues growing under identical environmental conditions, allowing each phenotype to express its own unique characteristics without external variables influencing the comparison. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres The room continues to remain exceptionally stable, providing the perfect environment for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program Pink Rosay A continued following the complete Plagron Terra nutrition schedule throughout the week. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The feeding remains intentionally balanced, encouraging explosive root expansion while supplying everything needed for strong structural growth before flowering accelerates. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week has been nothing short of impressive. Every few days she seemed noticeably larger than before. Her central stem has thickened considerably while producing a wonderfully even distribution of side branches that are already beginning to compete with the main leader. The internodal spacing remains tight without becoming overcrowded, creating a compact yet highly productive structure. One of the most enjoyable aspects of watching this phenotype has been the speed at which she responds. Almost overnight, new shoots emerge from every node, eager to occupy every bit of available light. Her leaves display excellent colour, healthy turgor and outstanding vigor, all clear signs that the root system is developing exactly as hoped. She simply looks happy. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress This week focused on gentle canopy management and encouraging an even distribution of future flowering sites. Daily leaf tucking exposed developing secondary branches while maintaining excellent airflow through the centre of the plant. Gentle low-stress training helped guide the main branches outward, opening the canopy without slowing her impressive rate of development. What stands out most is how naturally she responds. Every adjustment seems to trigger another burst of growth. Rather than showing signs of stress, she appears to embrace the extra light reaching the lower branches, rewarding each training session with even more vigorous development. It’s exactly the kind of response every grower hopes to see. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s photographs tell the story beautifully. Early overhead shots reveal a compact young plant already displaying remarkable symmetry. As the week progresses, that symmetry evolves into a broad, balanced canopy with fan leaves stretching confidently toward the edges of the pot. The macro images highlight vigorous new shoots emerging from every node, each one already preparing to become a future flowering branch. Side profile photographs showcase the increasingly thick central stem supporting a canopy that is becoming wider rather than taller—a fantastic trait for maximizing light distribution under the LED. By the final images of the week, she has transformed from a promising seedling into a confident young plant full of potential. It’s one of those weeks where the camera truly captures the speed of healthy development. ⸻ 🌸 Looking Ahead The coming week promises to be an exciting one. With her vigorous response to training and naturally balanced architecture, I expect the canopy to continue widening as secondary branches rapidly catch up with the main stem. As flowering begins to approach, the structure already being established should provide an excellent framework capable of supporting numerous evenly developed bud sites. If she continues growing with this level of consistency, Pink Rosé A has every opportunity to become one of the stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. She isn’t simply growing. She’s building something. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you for following another chapter of this incredible journey. Every week reinforces one simple truth: when genetics, environment and careful cultivation come together, each plant reveals a personality entirely its own. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can document their successes, learn from one another and celebrate this amazing passion together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the Terra nutrient line that continues to deliver vigorous, healthy growth with remarkable consistency throughout every stage of this project. To the breeders behind these beautiful genetics—thank you for the dedication, patience and years of work that make adventures like this possible. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries. Your encouragement, your questions, your advice and your shared enthusiasm are what make this community so special. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One beautiful surprise at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

Ahoi and welcome, this week I had to find my way around the results of Mango being caugth and tightened into the net. Light management became an issue: for the first time I saw how the high light intensity at Mango's sturdy 82cm side colas almost singed off pistils (with light, not heat). Those nodes decided to become the new main colas, after the central cola lost it's top canopy spot. The cola that almost broke off is still fixed in the center of the tent, and as a result, is getting light blasted at it. 😬 I build it a little personal Cloud directly over her central colas to achieve some spot PPFD scattering, which has helped me in the past. Image will be in next weeks update. SJ (69cm final height after training) and Headbanger (59cm final height after training) were, on top of that, -underlit-. I probably lost a good 6 days to underfeeding them with light, and after my adjustments they are still not quite where they would like to be. I used my undercanopy-lights to install a vertical light bar at the entrance, to help out Headbanger directly and provide some angled light into Mango's bushy structure. I used the other bar and installed that horizontally over SJ & Headbanger at an angle, so not much of it will hit Mango. I feel like ripping out my entire scrog-setup and structuring everything out anew, but yeah, damage and intense stress during peak flower production would probably result in a worse outcome for the 4 of us. Next time, I will have to plan my tent layout and light setup better, so I can account for these massive height differences without burning plants. For now, the tent seems at peace. Plants have finalized their structure, and the result of the missing light is unfortunately largely visible in thick, deep green leaves, ready to photosynthesize, but really just sitting there, praying oftentimes, in a resource vs energy uptake stale-mate. The tally count becomes high for Headbanger: Underwatering during veg, VPD issues during early nights + training stress already made her decide to flower fast. The relative low-light environment now reduced the total capability of the plant directly, as all other protocols provide nearly adequate baselines. But hey - what we know - we know. The nug is from 👽 Alien VS Triangle I mentioned last week, bottom canopy position, monoterpene focus plant (reduced capacity for sesqueterpene building) - I collect these low hanging fruits separately, when in need of something that hits right but also keeps me as active as a bee if needed. Downside? Need different strain for sedating properties, but those juicy main colas curing for ~9 weeks now will help with that just a little. To me it smells like a syrupy wash involving several forest berries, sometimes a redcurrant top-note releases as well. As it cured it definitely brought home it's underlying herbal body, gaining in complexity but still leaving the stage clear for the berry top-notes, that are converting more and more into their floral counterparts. I swear I detect sweet marmelade from the bag itself after this time, but that is not detectable in the nugs themselves. See ya next week!

Hi liebe Community! 💚 In den letzten fünf Wochen hat sich die Pflanze schön weiterentwickelt. Der Wuchs ist sehr kräftig und allmählich bekomme ich eine homogene Wachstumsstruktur hin. Die Triebe bekommen langsam ihre relative angepasste höhe und ich denke in der kommenden Woche wird die Blüte eingeleitet. Außerdem habe ich nun nochmal die Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne Wuchsform😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growschrank sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 26°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa ———————

Grew well and so far there's no pests. I think they're growing on schedule with no stunt so far. I think they should start packing on weight next week. We will see. All Good!

Esta produciendo muy poca resina, no estoy seguro de porque. Tengo un poco de araña roja y pulgón en los cogollos más bajeros pero no hay demasiados y se están concentrando ahí.

14 Jul 2021 The plant is still looking lovely, and her buds look wonderful. I’m continuing with the flush of properly pH’ed water chilled to 46.3F. My initial pH was 7.7, so I added 15 gtts (1.5ml) of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH to 6.2. I’d like it to be higher, but working with pH DOWN is so much harder than pH UP! The TDS going in was 75 ppm. Our heat wave is still going strong, and the temperature in the tent was 88F with humidity at 44%. The runoff pH was 5.3, and TDS runoff was 1897 ppm. That’s a reduction of 410 ppm from the watering on the 12th. At this rate it’ll be next week or later till I can harvest. If it does, I may end up harvesting sooner and curing longer. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll have to wait and hope I guess. 16 Jul 2021 I’m continuing with the flush today, and I’m beginning to think I should start flushing more often, yet I don’t want to damage the plant. At this stage of growth I don’t know if overwatering is as detrimental as it is to a younger, less developed plant. I want to harvest it before she gets too far along in her trichome development. She was clearly ready when I checked them on July 10th, and I don’t want her to get much farther along. Today I’m giving water at tap temps because at this point I don’t believe it matters. Everything I’m deciding to do is purely by instinct and trial and error. I feel like a researcher working on viable material that has a known outcome in general, but getting to the final stage (harvest) is detrimental in how the individual works the issues, or problems, and prepares for a desired outcome. Only each strain is different, and learning to adjust to those differences is the learning process. I never knew that growing weed could be so much fun, or as stressful! But I dig it! Today she received a gallon of water with an initial pH of 7.7. I added pH down 5 gtts (.5ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.4. TDS going in was 91 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 1407 ppm. Temperature in the tent was 84F, and humidity was 60%. There was a 390 ppm reduction from the last watering 2 days ago. At least it’s moving in the right direction. 18 Jul 2021 The flush is going well as you’ll be able to see once I post my numbers a little later in this note. Her buds are still looking awesome, and she still looks healthy for the most part. Her leaves on the fan side still look dried up on the edges, but not completely dead. Since it’s happening on both of my plants in the same location, the cause was easy to surmise as I’ve noted it before. I’ll be ready for harvest in about a week or less, and then her tent mate will be left alone for a while. Today she was given a gallon of water chilled to 57.2F with an initial pH of 8.0. I added 8 gtts (>1ml) of pH DOWN in 2 separate increments to adjust it to pH 6.7. The TDS going in was 80 ppm. The runoff pH was 6.1, and TDS runoff was 784 ppm. That’s a reduction of 623 ppm since the last flushing/watering. So I’m down into the 3 digit realm now, so hopefully it won’t be too much longer! She smells like blueberry muffins! I’m not even kidding a little. Like blueberry muffins. I’ve never seen a better named strain ever! 20 Jul 2021 Flushing continues in my grow room today. I swear this part takes so long and is so frustrating. I only have myself to blame, but all is still good. She is ready for harvest, but I still need to finish this up first. The TDS runoff shows that the level is still dropping, just not as fast as I’d like it to be. Today I chilled a gallon of water to 57.7F, then got her ready to give my baby. The initial pH was 8.1, so I added pH DOWN 10 gtts (1ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.8. The TDS going in was 74 ppm. Runoff today: pH 6.3, and TDS 658 ppm. Our heat wave is still kicking hard, so the tent temperature was 88F, and humidity was 49%. I’m still hoping to harvest in a few days to a week from now. It all just depends on the flush. I didn’t bother with any pics today. Mainly because the lights went off as I was finishing up and figured there aren’t any changes from 2 days ago to bother. However, today ends a week, so the next will be a fresh week, so I’ll take pics then.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

Ende ersten Woche Flower und Start der Zweiten, ich hatte wieder ein Problem mit Trauermücken und habe diese jetzt mit Neemöl bekämpft und die erste mit Sand bedeckt. Dadurch trocknet diese nicht so schnell aus und die Mücken können ihre Eier nicht in die Erde setzen, ich hoffe mal, das hilft. Die Pflanzen haben einen mächtigen Schub gemacht und sind min. 10 cm gewachsen, man erkennt schon kleine anzeigen von Härchen. Tag 4 von Woche 8: Heute habe ich das Netz gespannt und stark erlaubt sowie triebe raus genommen die nicht mindestens durchs Netz gingen oder kein Licht bekamen. Ich bin gespannt wie gut die anderen jetzt davon Profitieren werden .
