Nothing super exciting going on. I'm thinking she's going to probably go like 10 weeks total. Not much pistil color changes yet

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 1 Flower 🍬 The Little Engine That Could Every grow has one plant that reminds us why patience is such an important part of this hobby. Candy Rain continues to be that plant. As the only survivor from this folder, she has quietly fought her way through a slower start while the rest of the room raced ahead. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely my mistake, but that's part of growing too. Every mistake teaches something valuable, and Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that healthy plants don't all follow the same timetable. This week officially marks her first week of flowering. While most of the room is already well established in bloom, Candy Rain has finally reached that exciting milestone, proving once again that genetics decide the pace—not us. This diary continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, illuminated by the Future of Grow Black Series LED, complemented by the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain continues writing her own unique story. And honestly... She's beginning to surprise me. 🌱 Week 1 Flower – Finally Joining the Party Only one week has passed since the transition began, yet the difference is already easy to see. Standing at approximately 90 cm tall, she has enjoyed a healthy stretch during the past seven days, gaining over 20 cm while beginning to shift her energy fully toward flower production. She may still be one of the smaller plants in the room, but she's clearly making up for lost time. Fresh white pistils now cover every growing tip, and the first real flower clusters are beginning to form across the canopy. Each day the bud sites become a little more defined, slowly transforming from simple nodes into the foundation of future colas. The transition has been smooth, healthy, and exactly what I was hoping to see. Sometimes all a plant needs is a little extra time. 🌿 Plant Development Candy Rain has continued developing naturally with very little intervention. Low Stress Training carried out earlier in her life has left her with an open structure, while simple leaf tucking continues exposing future flowering sites without removing valuable fan leaves. There has still been no need for defoliation. The canopy remains airy, branch spacing is excellent, and airflow throughout the plant couldn't be much better. New growth continues emerging vibrant and healthy, while the leaves display a beautiful deep green colour that tells me she's completely comfortable with her current environment. Looking closely at the flowers, the first little crowns of white pistils are now appearing everywhere. They're still tiny. But every large cola starts exactly like this. 💧 Feeding Program Now officially in flower, Candy Rain has fully joined the flowering nutrition program alongside the rest of the room. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation The transition has been effortless. Her foliage remains beautifully balanced with no signs of deficiencies, excesses, or stress, and she's responding exactly how I'd hoped after making the move onto the flowering schedule. The roots remain healthy, water uptake is increasing, and the overall plant simply looks happy. Sometimes the plants tell you everything without saying a word. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remain stable throughout the flowering room: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: 639 ppm The consistency inside the room continues allowing every plant to focus entirely on growth rather than recovery. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, balanced humidity, and reliable irrigation remain one of the biggest reasons this project continues progressing so smoothly. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also sees Candy Rain benefiting from the new Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing exceptional light from above, the additional Lumiflora bars are designed to deliver extra intensity beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that naturally receive less light. It's still far too early to draw conclusions, but I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional lighting influences lower bud development, flower density, and overall canopy uniformity over the coming weeks. As always, I'll let the plants tell the story rather than making assumptions before harvest. 🌸 Phenotype Thoughts One thing Candy Rain has already reminded me is that size doesn't always predict quality. She may not be the tallest or the fastest plant in the room, but healthy structure, vigorous growth, beautiful leaf colour, and balanced development are often far more important than chasing height alone. Some of the most memorable harvests I've ever grown came from plants that never looked like the biggest stars during flowering. Will Candy Rain surprise me? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly what makes growing so enjoyable. Every plant writes its own ending. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I'm expecting the flowering stretch to continue before gradually slowing as more energy shifts toward building flowers. The small clusters of pistils should begin stacking into more defined bud sites, resin production may start making its first appearance, and it'll be fascinating to see whether Candy Rain continues closing the gap between herself and the rest of the room. Whatever happens, I'll continue giving her exactly what she's asked for from the very beginning: Time. 🙏 Final Thoughts Candy Rain has become a wonderful reminder that growing isn't about comparing plants. It's about understanding them. Some explode out of the soil from day one. Others quietly take their time before showing what they're capable of. She's still writing her story, and I'm more than happy to let her write it at her own pace. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic genetics, to Plagron for their consistently reliable nutrient line, to Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, and to Lumiflora for joining this project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to see what the combination of top and lower canopy lighting can achieve throughout the rest of flowering. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this 8×8 Adventure week after week. Your support, advice, encouragement, and passion for growing make documenting every stage of these plants an absolute pleasure. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Der Grow: Diese Woche ist die Pflanze explodiert. 31 cm sind es am Ende der Woche gewesen. Zum Glück habe ich bei diesem Run die Abluft von Anfang an außerhalb des Zeltes platziert, sonst würde es eng werden. Ich hoffe das es in der 3 Woche nicht noch einmal 30 cm werden, sonst bekomme ich Probleme mit der LED. Die Buds entwickeln sich auch sehr schön. Von Tag zu Tag fängt die Pflanze mehr an zu duften. Ich kann den Duft nur schwer beschreiben, aber es erinnert mich irgendwie an einen starken frisch gemahlenen Kaffee mit leichten Skunk Tendenzen. Die Erde performt immer noch einwandfrei. Es sind keinerlei Mängel zusehen. Auch Cal/Mag musste ich nicht hinzugeben. Bis hierhin klare Empfehlung von mir. Am Ende der Woche habe ich alle Blätter bis zum Netz entfernt. Die Parameter in Woche 8: Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 50% - 60% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI Luftfeuchtigkeit 50% - 60% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 25 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 22 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 55% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 55% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,3 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,1 LED Leistung: 40% = 145 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 12 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

08/23/2023 Starting week 2 flowering AK #1 is now 17" tall AK #2 is now 12.5" tall Bruce Banner is 16" tall All going well no more bug issues fed a little bit of nitrogen this week in the form of (901 C release) 1/4 strength trying to push some Carbon on her, no more Nitrogen will be used after week 2 of flowering, only P-K will be from Fox Farms Big Bloom 0-0.5-0.7 mixed with Bio-Remedy Hope that they have more stretch in them but time will tell. Either way flower are exploding all over her! Going to give them some Fresh Aloe Vera water, there loaded with Amino acids other good stuff. 08/27/2022 Not sure if auto flower goes through different flowering stages, if they do phase one is fleeting first flush of pistils fading and fresh ones popping up everywhere . Bruce Banner is a resin monster even some bigger leaves getting resin rails.

Gran trabajo por parte de mis colaboradores, estoy bastante contento con este grow, el próximo tendré más atención en la etapa de crecimiento, la cual es muy importante si quiero obtener una cosecha de calidad. A partir de ahora agua hasta el fin.

Esta cosecha fue muy buena con excelentes resultados de flores muy compactas y demasiado resinosas , la genética en sí es muy resinosa con olor muy característico , con sabores terrosos muy marcados .

I'm getting a little discoloration on the leaf edge. We got some rain the night of day 2. Then a heavy dew early day 3. Night 4 and day 5 we got heavy rain and thunderstorms. Day 6 was overcast and very humid. Day 7 was lots of rain. This girls handling the wet feet pretty good. She's growing slow but that could be contributed to the cool nights and days. Overall she's doing well and the week was good.

Plant 1 is ready the other two get another 12h and 24h in dark tent Taste fruity and berrys White Ash

Apolo F1 Mission Diary - Week 3: The Ballet of Bend, Blossom, and Root Rhapsody Greetings, fellow cultivators and guardians of the green frontier! Week 3 of our Apolo F1's botanical saga has unfurled with a kaleidoscope of growth and a symphony of roots that dance beneath the surface. Join me as we explore the verdant ballet of bending, the flourishing foliage, and the hidden root rhapsody. This week has been a crescendo of controlled chaos, with the delicate art of bending taking center stage. Each branch gracefully sways and contorts, responding to the gentle nudges like a botanical ballerina in an intricate dance. Our Apolo F1 is not just growing; she's performing a choreography of resilience and elegance. And here's the thrilling revelation - roots! Yes, beneath the soil surface, a clandestine world is unfurling. Root tendrils are popping up like eager spectators in the front row, reaching out to absorb the nutrients and anchor our green virtuoso. It's a root rhapsody, a silent applause to the nutrient-rich symphony we've orchestrated. As I continue to guide the botanical ballet, the TDS in the watering regimen maintains a harmonious 390 ppm, providing our plant with a nutrient-rich libretto. The pH, the conductor of this aqueous symphony, remains a steady 6.0, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and a thriving performance. Temperature-wise, our Apolo F1 revels in the cozy embrace of a 26-degree Celsius environment. It's like providing the ideal backstage conditions for our botanical star, ensuring she performs at her peak. Now, let's talk about the behind-the-scenes technique – the bottom feeding spectacle. Water is tossed into the plate, and our green companion sips from this botanical wellspring. It's a refined and controlled drinking session, a sophisticated soirée for our growing virtuoso. And as always, a tip of the hat to Aptus Holland, the maestros of our nutrient symphony. Their meticulous regimen ensures our Apolo F1 gets the VIP treatment from the roots to the tips of her flourishing foliage. As we marvel at the ongoing dance of growth and the flourishing of our green virtuoso, I extend my gratitude to the digital coliseum, Grow Diaries, for being the stage where our horticultural epic unfolds. And to Royal Queen Seeds, whose Apolo F1 has become the star of this green opera. In the next enthralling chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, we'll witness the continued ballet of growth and the root rhapsody beneath the surface. Until then, may your gardens flourish and your green endeavors be ever bountiful! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Day 1. Most of the lower fan leaves are now yellowing and the buds are starting to fatten up Approx 2 weeks until harvest Day 3. Plants looking good very strange thing is happening though the plants are all showing signs of nute burn but I am currently flushing lol Day 5. Getting close to harvest now thinking 10 - 14 days Day 7. Fall is very much in the air almost all the fan leaves are dying off. 4 more days of flush followed by 4 days starvation and they are being harvested

Getting fuller . I believe she’ll start pre-flower soon but this is really a guessing game . My first time growing autos so I don’t know what to expect but she’s healthy lol.

Esqueje de gorilas glue y de blue berrys Me las dieron en flora crecieron arto ya van super bonitas las flores bien olorosas y pegajosas se les iso el scrog y an abierto los brazos a todos lados

Was only a two day week, trichomes matured quick and she was ready to harvest! Easy cleanup before hanging. Look forward to doing this strain again in the future to see her true potential.

🏿‍♂️🔇

Smell is amazing like fizzy pineapples it overpowers the cookie dawg smell but the combo of the strains is also amazing the slight cookie and chem smell inside the tent. Will re pot these all and hope they all females due to the seeds being regular and not feminised. All looks good will keep eye on pistils to appear or not. I am always using the same feed: Coco A Coco B Canna Rhizotonic Cannazym Canna cal mag Canna boost Ph up

Really impressed with this SCHLUX SZ-PT400 light. Done another round of LST really bringing th bud sites to the light. Also been tucking my bug fan leaves, don't believe in trimming autos. Captain Redbeard Seeds are really impressive at this point. Will be top dressing with Coast of Maine lobster compost, as well as worm castings and the OG bloom dust. Happy growing

*Disclosure: The mother has was flipped into flower 3 weeks ago - Veg weeks now are only for the clones* 03/08 - (M) - Since transplant into 4x4 she has doubled in size and cleared pre-flower accordingly - Nute feeds increased from once to twice a day - One week will be only nutes the following will be clean water. 03/08 - (C ) All clones are rocking out accordingly - All 7 were topped this week - I will only top once and let them run as is - slight increased nute feed for them to provide supplement for the topping - currently still in nursery (2x2). 03/12 (M) - The mother is just coming out of pre-flower and rocking accordingly since moving into the 4x4 - offsetting feeds (3 days - 1 feed every 12 hrs for 1 minute - 3 days no feed) the offsetting feeds seems to be giving me positive results in balancing wet and dry. 03/12 (C) - The clones are coming along accordingly as well - Since topping the off shoots are coming in nicely - all 7 have been moved into the 3x3
