* ***************** Week 2 of Growth From Seed, April 18 to 25, 2020 - Days 8 to 14 from germination ********************** * Getting rolling on week 2. Not a surprise for me that she is doing very well. I seem to match well with the traits in Sweet Seeds selections. She is wide and will squeeze out her third set of leaves this week and hopefully working on her fourth set......time will tell🤞She is also getting more green at the start of the week so its time for some plain water as well. The medium has had little to no runoff so far so the ppm will be building and likely pH adjusting slightly,. Switch CalMag this week and going with GH as it has a 1% value for Nitrogen. Will be increasing the CalMag now as well. Will be getting ppm in the 500 range more this week. May start to introduce Sensyzime at the end of the week. Keep moving the lights up and down trying to dial in between 18” and 30” and see how they react. Seems to be about 28” right now they are happy. Playing with the VPD and finding that they are not as happy with the VPD up around 1.0 and rather happier around 1.4??? Happier meaning tips and looking like she is getting bigger. Played with humidity this weekend as well between 52% and 75%. Again, they seem happiest around 58%..........going to try that for a couple of days and see how they grow for the next few days. I feel they are alrighty slower at the high humidity. Not backing away for this but rather trying to read the girls🤪🤪🤪🤪 *****Daily Detail: Apr 18, Day 9 - VPD - 1.1 - 2L feed with Vitathrive and Velokelp and Dual Fuel @ 0.75ml/L, CaMg+ @ 0.75ml/L = 575ppm, 5.8pH. - playing with humidity up and down today. - ready for a plain water feed and a little larger quantity to soak all the medium. - not sure if tomorrow though.......might be a little wet yet in the medium. - she is doing very well. She has gotten taller and seems very energetic right now😀👍 Apr 19, Day 9 - VPD - 1.3 - 2L watering today with CaMg and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L each. 240ppm with 5.9pH. - Had more runoff, that was the goal. Didn't bother to measure this though. - Just trying to bring the medium pH in line and reduce some of the ppm. - Things just aren't progressing as I think they should. Apr 20, Day 10 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day - lower humidity in tent to 55% Apr 21, Day 11 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day, again. Humidity kept low. - Added home made CO2 to the tent today. - 3.5" tall only. - this girl is doing the best in the tent right now. She has handled the over feeding the best of them. Apr 22, Day 12 - VPD 1.4 - Dry out day yet again but now raising the humidity back to 65%. - tips back up today. Apr 23, Day 13 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - P & V & Vitathrive @ 1ml/L, DF & CalMag@ 0.5ml/L = 410ppm and 5.9pH - primarily calmag and something for roots. - She has some wide leaves and doing well. She has just been slowed down....crap. Apr 24, Day 14 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - Voodoo and Piranha and VeloKelp @ 2ml/L = 180ppm pH'd to 5.6 - tough week.......she battled over watering as a result of some over feeding last week.

The beginning of flowering is going well. They were left alone for three days with temperatures that were too low (17–21°C); I fixed that today. The leaves are a bit heavy and droopy, nothing serious in my opinion! 🌱🌱🌱🌱

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 11 💗 The Little Dwarf Keeps Smiling — Small, Beautiful & Completely Herself Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our little Pink Rosay Pheno B... 😂💗 She's still little. Very little. But you know what? Every single week, she manages to put a smile on my face. And this week is no different. Actually... I'm starting to think that one of the best decisions I made in this entire adventure was simply... not giving up on her. Because look at her now. She's growing. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's getting prettier. She's getting frostier. And she's doing it all while remaining this ridiculously cute little plant tucked away among some absolute monsters. 😂💗 She's small. She's beautiful. She's charming. And she's completely, unapologetically herself. So yes... let's give this little lady the spotlight she deserves. 🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The idea behind this project is simple: Take different genetics and phenotypes... put them into essentially the same environment... and then step back and watch what they naturally become. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same general environmental strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different personalities. And Pink Rosay Pheno B? She's one of the most extreme examples of individuality in the entire room. While some of her neighbours are enormous... she decided: "63 cm is enough." 😂 And honestly? I'm glad she did. Because if every plant looked the same, this experiment wouldn't be nearly as interesting. ──────────────────────── 💗 I'm So Glad I Didn't Give Up on Her I have to say this again. I'm genuinely happy I didn't give up on this little girl. Because early on, it would have been very easy to look at her and think: "She's tiny." And leave it at that. But that's exactly why we do experiments like this. We don't know the final story at the beginning. We have to let the plant tell us. And Pink Rosay B has been slowly telling us: "I'm small. So what? Watch me." 😂💗 And I am watching. Every week. She's still developing. Still changing. Still putting on flower. Still becoming more interesting. And that's incredibly satisfying to see. There is something special about watching a plant that could easily have been overlooked become something you genuinely care about. That's exactly what happened with her. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Little Dwarf Keeps Growing She's not suddenly going to become a giant. And I don't want her to. Her compact size is part of her story. It's part of what makes this phenotype interesting. But being small doesn't mean she's standing still. Far from it. She's continuing to develop within that tiny framework. The flowers are progressing. The structure is becoming more defined. The density continues to build. And the whole plant is slowly becoming more complete. She's growing... just on her own terms. At her own pace. In her own little world. And honestly? I love watching it. Because sometimes slow, steady development is just as fascinating as watching a plant explode through the room. ──────────────────────── 😊 She Keeps Putting a Smile on My Face This might actually be my favourite thing about her. She makes me smile. 😂💗 Every time I look at her, I get that little feeling of: "Look at you!" She's not intimidating. She's not overwhelming. She's not demanding. She's just... cute. A tiny flowering plant surrounded by much larger personalities. And somehow she has managed to carve out her own little identity in the room. She's the little one. The dwarf. The compact girl. The one who doesn't need much space. The one who doesn't make my life difficult. And now... the one I'm genuinely excited to see finishing. That's quite a transformation from where we started. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Small Plant — Serious Frost And let's not forget what happens when we stop looking at her size... and start looking at her flowers. Because that's where things get really interesting. The frost continues to develop. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The structure is getting more defined. And when the light catches the resin... she absolutely shines. ❄️✨ This is one of those plants where scale can be misleading. From across the room: "Aw, she's tiny." Get closer: "Wait..." Closer again: "Ohhhhhh." 😂💗❄️ That's Pink Rosay B. She doesn't need a huge frame to give us something beautiful to look at. She simply packs her story into a much smaller package. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Beautiful in Her Own Little Way I think I've finally stopped comparing her to the larger plants. And that's important. Because when you compare a 63 cm plant to a giant standing beside her, she's always going to look small. Of course she is. But that's not the right comparison anymore. Now I look at her and ask: "What is Pink Rosay B doing?" And the answer is: She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's frosting up. She's becoming more beautiful. And she's doing all of that exactly as her genetics seem to want to. That's what matters. She's not supposed to be her sister. She's not supposed to be one of the giants. She's Pink Rosay Pheno B. And that's enough. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Eating Photons The room continues evolving around her, but the overall strategy remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting setup. After adding the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug after seeing that the initial intensity was higher than we wanted. We're now working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And this little lady? She's still doing her part. Taking the available photons... and turning them into growth. Leaves. Flowers. Resin. Density. Development. Just on a miniature scale. 😂💗 I honestly love that. It's another beautiful example of how genetics can take the same environmental opportunity and turn it into something completely different. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Nutrition. Same Opportunity. The nutrition has also continued evolving with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom has been increased to: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L Alongside: 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm And again... no special treatment. No secret formula just for the little dwarf. 😂 She gets the same general opportunity as everyone else. Same nutrition. Same lighting strategy. Same room. Same environmental evolution. And then... she decides what to do with it. That's the experiment. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Still No Reason to Interfere And just like her sister, Pink Rosay B doesn't give me many reasons to interfere. The major work has already been done. Her structure is established. The flowering sites are visible. The plant is healthy-looking. The flowers are developing. So why start messing around with her? Exactly. There is no reason. Healthy leaves are still doing their job. The flowers are developing naturally. The plant is progressing. So we're simply allowing her to continue. Sometimes the grower's job is to do something. Sometimes the grower's job is to know when not to do something. Right now? I'm very happy doing less. 😂💗 Let the little lady grow. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Small Doesn't Mean Small Story This is probably the biggest lesson Pink Rosay B has given me. A plant doesn't have to dominate a tent to be interesting. She doesn't need to be two metres tall. She doesn't need a huge canopy. She doesn't need massive branches reaching in every direction. She doesn't need to be the biggest producer. She just needs to express herself. And she's doing that beautifully. Her story is about compactness. About individuality. About watching a tiny phenotype continue to develop while surrounded by giants. And maybe that's why I enjoy her so much. She reminds me that growing isn't always about chasing the biggest possible plant. Sometimes it's about discovering the unexpected. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Tiny Girl Still Loves the Camera And once again... she remains incredibly easy to photograph. 😂📸 That's another thing I genuinely appreciate about this phenotype. I can get around her. I can see her structure. I can reach her flowers. I can move her if necessary. And I can get the camera exactly where I want it. Then macro photography completely changes the scale. Suddenly... the little dwarf isn't little anymore. She's a landscape. A forest of tiny structures. Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Textures. Details. And that's one of the reasons I love macro photography so much. It reminds us that size is relative. The plant might be tiny in the 8×8... but inside the frame? She's enormous. 💗❄️📸 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The environment continues along with the rest of the room: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same evolution. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutritional updates. Same general strategy. Different expression. And Pink Rosay B continues doing what Pink Rosay B does best. Being Pink Rosay B. 😂💗 ──────────────────────── 🔬 Genetics Keep Writing Their Own Stories This is where the 8×8 Adventure becomes really fascinating. You can control many things. You can provide the same environment. You can provide the same lighting. You can provide the same nutrition. You can keep the irrigation philosophy consistent. But you cannot tell every phenotype how to behave. They interpret the opportunity differently. And Pink Rosay B is a perfect example. Her sister is compact too, but this girl takes compactness to another level. She's tiny. She's dense. She's developing beautifully. And she's doing it without becoming a headache. That's her genetic expression. And I'm very happy we gave her the opportunity to show it. ──────────────────────── 💗 My Little Survivor There's something almost sentimental about her now. 😂 Because I remember looking at this little plant earlier in the adventure and thinking: "Are you really going to do anything?" And now? I'm standing there smiling at her. "Look at you!" 😂💗 She's become one of those plants that you develop a relationship with. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the most impressive from a distance. But because you've watched her journey. You've watched her slowly become herself. And you've watched the little plant that could have been dismissed become a little plant you genuinely don't want to lose. I'm really glad she stayed. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now... I'm curious to see where she takes us from here. She's still developing. Still building. Still getting prettier. Still putting on frost. Still making me smile. And that's enough for me. I'm not looking for her to suddenly become something she's not. I'm not expecting a giant transformation. I simply want to see the final version of this tiny little Pink Rosay phenotype. How will the flowers continue to develop? How much more will she mature? How will the resin evolve? What will the final structure look like? And eventually... what will she be like when her story is complete? We'll find out. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One observation at a time. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Let the Little Lady Shine Week 11. And our little dwarf is still here. Still growing. Still developing. Still beautiful. Still tiny. 😂💗 And somehow... she keeps becoming more lovable. I am genuinely so happy I didn't give up on her. Because now I get to watch this little cutie pie continue developing right in front of me. She's small. But she's beautiful. She's compact. But she's full of character. She's not demanding. She's not difficult. She's not trying to take over the room. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. There are giants in this tent. Absolute monsters. Plants that make you wonder how you're ever going to move them without requiring a forklift. 😂🌳 And then there's Pink Rosay B. Just sitting there... quietly growing. Quietly flowering. Quietly getting frostier. Quietly making me smile. 💗 And maybe that's why she has become so special to me. She doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to prove anything. She just needs to be herself. And she is. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's celebrate the little one. Let's celebrate the phenotype that could have been overlooked... but wasn't. Because now we get to see what happens when you simply give a tiny plant the opportunity to show you what she can do. And Pink Rosay B? She's showing us beautifully. Small frame. Beautiful flowers. Increasing frost. Growing every week. And an absolutely enormous personality for such a tiny girl. 😂💗🌸❄️ I'm glad you stayed, little lady. Keep growing. Keep smiling. Keep becoming more beautiful. And most importantly... keep being exactly who you are. Because that's what makes you special. 💗✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8×8 Adventure and follow these very different phenotypes week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover little characters like this one. 🌸💗 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. 🌱 Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in this adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy lighting dimension. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of this adventure. And Pink Rosay Pheno B has certainly given us a story worth following. She may be the smallest girl in the room. But she has absolutely earned her place here. And I'm so damn glad we gave her the chance. 💗🌸❄️✨ So here's to the little dwarf. The tiny survivor. The cutie pie. The plant that keeps growing... and keeps putting a smile on my face. Let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And let's let this beautiful little lady finish her story in her own way. Give her the spotlight. She deserves it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💗

Hey Guys, Growth has taken off a lot this past week, have had to add a heater to the grow which isn’t ideal but with warmer months coming this should only be temporary. I have the thermostat set to start the heater when temps go below 23°c. Watching Dr Bruce Bugbee on YouTube, he stated that growth does start to suffer below this temperature. One of the plants has some odd colours and growth which I’m pretty sure is Mg deficiency, which is probably due to that particular girl being more sensitive to PH swings than the rest of the ladies. I have had to insulate some of the circulating pipes as the water cooler was struggling to keep the water baths cool. Seems to have helped keep temps down a couple more degrees, I mate have to reconfigure where my water cooler is in the piping run after this grow Finally a special thanks to the GD team for selecting my previous diary for DOTM, very flattering considering some of the great content that was submitted for March 2020! Happy growing all!

good !

Day 56 for runtz, gonna give bloom overload since the girls loves it so much, nothing much else to report. Very late flower considering these have 30-40 day veg🤔 nts, left to right. ppm5.5 ph6.3 ppm 3.5 ph 6.4 ppm 3.2 ph 6.4 -> drop nutes n ph

I enjoyed it and will doing it again shortly!

Anfang woche 7 in flow. Jetzt gehts ums ausrefen lassen😇. Duften echt inreressant. Kanns aber nicht beschreiben nach was🤷‍♂️😅😅 aber eher fruchtig aufalle fälle Die vitalsten und saubersten stecklinge (weil alle 2-3monate bei tumi getestet) gibts wie immer hier bei ROOTS-FARMS. The best in austria and maybe europe

Also bisher läuft alles wie geplant sogar besser wie gedacht, bisher steht mir die Pflanze bis zum Bauch.

Starting now the 48h of darkness, and then i will dry the plant. She is looking very nicelly and with a not too strong but pleasant smell.

Howdy it is day 63 and in 2 days it is time to harvest. Since 2 weeks i feed clear Walter only. They get 16 hours darkness before harvest. All the plants are really🔥 My favourites are still 3G and Wedding Gelato. The smell and Look is crazy. You will see i guess Also North Thunderfuck and Hulkberry is good looking. The weight of North Thunderfuck for the dice is insane. I wish everyone a nice Day and good time. Stay safe 💚

Week 13

Dane, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another, share the Joint. And mother earth is rich and can provide for everyone. We can Grow enough Happiness, In this paradise, there is room for everyone. We only exist to bring joy into the world and The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. At the end we own nothing more then all our memories, lets make them amazing for everyone, nothing to loose only everything to win. A last kiss goodby, a second one, softer and long as a sign, that you are woth it. That Everyone worth who loved and give. Enought Hippie Talk, now have a nice day and an even better grow, thx for watching by. looking good for a regrow.

Good week, I think I am done tucking the scrog for this run, screen has filled out reasonably well and am happy with all the room variables. I did add some beneficial bacteria as my ph spiked a few times and my res tank felt a little slimy.. so fingers crossed that takes care of that.

Heya long time no see 💚😳 06-27-26. Popped her into a cup of happy frog soil, sprayed with water, then sprayed inside a sandwich baggie and covered the cup. Didn’t put seed deep enough and got a bit of helmet head, but she popped it mostly off. I knocked it the rest of the way. I’m using happy frog for the seed starting, but will use Coast of Maine for transplanting. Will be first time using it. I put some information down there should you care to read it. 👇. Noted for advanced growers LOL. Well.. rip. ? 🤭 Garlic Mint Sherbet is a photoperiod line built from a Garlic Cookies (GMO) clone crossed with our selected Sherbanger phenotype (Boston Roots Seed Co). The goal behind this project was to combine the raw intensity and resin production of GMO with the layered Sherbet-based terpene profile of Sherbanger. The terpene profile is complex and evolving. At first, it leans toward a soft Sherbet sweetness, but as it develops, it opens into something much deeper: fresh garlic notes combined with a spicy, refreshing minty edge. It’s a profile that keeps changing the more you smell and work with it, moving from creamy to sharp, from sweet to pungent and cooling. Structurally, plants produce large flowers with heavy trichome coverage, making this one of the highest resin-producing lines in our catalog. It performs especially well for extraction, with strong returns across different methods, and stands out as a reliable washer.Plants tend to develop dark coloration, ranging from deep green to almost black and purple tones, especially under proper conditions. From a cultivation standpoint, this line shows medium sensitivity to environmental stress, particularly water temperature during processing and overall grow conditions. When dialed in correctly, it delivers both in yield and resin quality.The effect is powerful and body-heavy, leaning toward a strong couch-lock. Best suited for evening use, relaxation, or before sleep. Please Note: this strain requieres experience, we recomend it only for Advanced Growers

Week 1 from germination! Fastbuds - Stardawg Auto Light cycle: 18/6 Watering when dry Light: ViparSpectra XS2000 at 50% Everything is going well thus far! Excited to see how she grows! See you all next week

Ok

Hallo liebe growmies, ich hoffe euch geht es allen gut! die Woche war wieder eine erfolgreiche Woche 😁 ich muss sagen ich bin erstaunt wie gut die runde bis jetzt läuft und wie schön sich meine Ladys entwickelt haben, bis jetzt habe ich noch keine Mängel vernehmen können und die Damen sind meines Erachtens nach auf dem besten Weg zur sicheren ernte aber nun zur Woche Am 08.03.23 also einen Tag bevor diese Woche begann habe ich den compost Tee angesetzt dafür habe ich 2,5L Wasser was ich ja eh in der Tonne ab stehen lasse entnommen und habe es in einen leeren behälter von destilliertem Wasser getan, dem ganzen habe ich 2x luftstein hinzu gefügt mit Belüftung's Pumpe (Eheim 200) eine kleine mini heizung für 8 L Aquarien (regelbar) auf 20 Grad eingestellt. Dem ganzen habe ich dann 15g/L wasser compost Tee (37,5g bei 2,5L Wasser) hinzu gefügt bactrex drauf 1g/L wasser (2,5g bei 2,5L Wasser) und 5ml/L orgatrex ( 12,5ml bei 2,5/L wasser) gab es auch noch hinzu das ganze habe ich dann 24 h belüftet und bei ca 20 Grad Wassertemperatur gebraut (Bactrex gab es jetzt 1x bei dieser gabe hinzu,bei dem nächsten compost Tee fällt bactrex dann weg) hab jeder Pflanze von dieser Lösung jeweils 0,5L an die Pflanzen basis gegossen vorher habe ich die Ladys aber natürlich Gewässer mit 2,5L Wasser und Dann Die Lösung oben drauf. Danach saß ich Dann knapp 4 Std vor dem Zelt und hab ausgeschnitten unten rum (alle Blätter und Triebe unter dem netzt entfernt) danach hab ich noch ca 1 Std damit verbracht Triebe von oben heraus zu entfernen die zu dicht an anderen standen ( war echt nicht einfach da nicht zu viel weg zu schnippeln) aber ich glaube ich bin auf nem guten Weg. Den Rest der Woche habe ich nur noch gehofft das sich die Pflanzen gut erholen von dem was ich ihnen angetan habe, und hab die Fächer Blätter so gut wie es geht täglich runter gedrückt unters netzt damit genug Licht eindringen kann in den Baldachin, aber irgendwie hat die Damen das harte ausrasieren nicht wirklich gestört da wie auf den Bildern zu sehen ist, ist der stretch immer noch in gange ist, aber schon deutlich weniger geworden zum Ende dieser Woche. Am Sonntag dem 12.03.23 gab es nur Wasser zum trinken hab jetzt 3,5L Wasser gegossen und somit den Topf komplett mit Wasser gefüllt es kamen dabei ungefähr 20 ml Wasser unten raus, was halb so wild ist, aber immer hin Weiss ich jetzt die gieß menge um den Topf gleichmäßig zu füllen. Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne erfolgreiche Woche! Cu ihr growmies!

10 semanas pasadas desde la germinación, decidimos cosechar nuestra Cheese. De dinafem sorprendido por los resultados obtenidos. La cheese es una variedad sumamente olorosa, sus toques a queso se hacen notar y su resina cristalina y pegajosa Enamoran la vista de cualquiera ❤️

Die fünfte Blütewoche ist zu Ende: Viel habe ich nicht gemacht. Die Buds schwellen jeden Tag sichtbar an, der Geruch hat sich in Richtung Kirschkaugummi entwickelt. Bei der rechten Pflanze entwickelt sich ein kleiner Rotstich. Anzeichen vom purpeln? Wär ja cool.
