๐Ÿ‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia The Slow Girl Is Still Stealing The Spotlight ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟโœจ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Still stunning. Still green. Still developing. Still completely herself. And... slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is simply no other way to say it. She's taking her sweet time. Her very, very sweet time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ But here's the thing... She's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. She's developing those gorgeous floral structures. She's producing beautiful calyxes. She's covered in fresh white hairs. She's building her flowers. She's evolving. She's just doing it at a pace that is noticeably different from almost everybody else in this room. And honestly? I love it. Because she is such a perfect example of something this entire 8ร—8 Adventure has been trying to demonstrate: Same room. Same environment. Same photons. Same general care. Different genetics. Different timing. Different expression. Different story. And Passion Fruitz is writing hers at her own speed. So this week... we're not rushing her. We're not comparing her against anybody else's calendar. We're simply giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘โœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ SLOW AS FUCK, BEAUTIFUL AS EVER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Passion Fruitz continues to move forward. Slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Very slowly. But definitely forward. And I think that's the important distinction. She's not stuck. She's not sitting there doing nothing. She's developing. She's just doing everything on Passion Fruitz time. Look closely at the photographs and you'll see it. The flowers continue to develop. The calyxes are becoming more pronounced. The white pistils are still everywhere. The floral structures are becoming more defined. And the plant continues to look beautiful. She's simply not following the same schedule as some of the other girls. And that's perfectly fine. Because plants don't carry calendars. They carry genetics. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“… And her genetics are clearly saying: "Relax... I'll get there." ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE GIRL WHO REFUSES TO RUSH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If this girl has taught me anything, it's patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ I've watched other plants move ahead. I've watched flowering accelerate. I've watched flowers begin changing. I've watched other girls start looking much closer to the final stages. And Passion Fruitz? She's basically sitting there with a cup of tea. "Yeah, yeah... I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜• And honestly... fair enough. Because she's giving us something just as valuable as speed: A different expression. She's allowing us to see how the same room can produce completely different flowering rhythms. That's one of the reasons I love having all these individual diaries. If you only saw one plant, you might think: "Why is she moving so slowly?" But when you see the entire room... you realize: She's not doing anything wrong. She's simply different. And that's exactly what we wanted to observe. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ BEAUTIFUL CALYXES, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowers are becoming the real stars of the show now. And honestly... they're gorgeous. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘ The calyxes are becoming increasingly visible within the developing flowers, creating more definition and texture throughout the flowering sites. And then you have those beautiful white pistils. So many of them. Fresh. Bright. Reaching outward from the developing flowers. They give the plant that unmistakable look of continued floral development. And I absolutely love photographing them. Because when you get close... you start seeing the architecture inside the flower. It's not just: "There's a bud." It's: "Look at all those individual structures coming together." Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Layers upon layers of development. And Passion Fruitz is doing all of it... at her own pace. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? THE WHITE HAIRS ARE STILL TELLING US A STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One of the things I keep coming back to with this girl is her pistils. They are still beautifully white and prominent. And that's another visual reminder that she's continuing to develop. We're not seeing her suddenly race through every stage simply because the calendar says Week 12. Instead, she's continuing to produce fresh-looking floral structures and pistils while slowly building the flowers underneath them. That's important. The plant isn't required to match the visual timeline of another plant simply because they share the same room. She's showing us her own progression. And that's what we're documenting. The white hairs aren't just decoration. They're part of the visual story of the flowers developing. And right now... Passion Fruitz has a very beautiful story to tell. ?๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER SNAPSHOT IN TIME โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is exactly why I love taking these photographs. Because if you only looked at Passion Fruitz once every few weeks, you might think: "Well, she looks pretty similar." But put the photographs side by side... and suddenly you see it. The flowers are changing. The structures are becoming more defined. The plant is maturing. The floral sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils are evolving. The resin continues developing. It's not necessarily dramatic. It's gradual. And that's what makes documenting a slow phenotype so interesting. We're capturing the tiny steps. The small changes. The subtle evolution. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. And eventually... those tiny changes become a completely different plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ SHE'S SLOW โ€“ NOT STAGNANT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I want to emphasize this because it's one of the easiest things to misunderstand when comparing plants. Slow does not automatically mean something is wrong. Passion Fruitz is a perfect example. She's slower than many of the other plants in the room. But look at her. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's producing pistils. She's developing calyxes. She's building structure. She's continuing to evolve. So I'm not interested in forcing her to move faster simply because another plant is further ahead. Her pace is part of her phenotype. And that's something worth documenting rather than trying to erase. This is the 8ร—8 Adventure. We're not trying to make everybody identical. We're trying to see what everybody does. And Passion Fruitz is giving us one hell of a lesson in patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM โ€“ COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is still one of my favourite parts of this experiment. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutritional foundation. And yet... different clocks. Some plants move quickly. Some plants take longer. Some develop one way. Some develop another. Some get large. Some stay compact. Some stack quickly. Some take their time. And Passion Fruitz? She's operating on her own calendar. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“…๐Ÿ‘ But that's exactly what makes her valuable to this project. She's showing us that "Week 12" doesn't necessarily mean every plant should look the same. Week number is a reference point. The plant itself tells the story. And her story is: "I'm still building." โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESPONSE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course, the lighting environment hasn't been specially changed for her. She's receiving the same upgraded room lighting as everyone else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We're controlling the output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug and approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a lot of available light. And Passion Fruitz is doing what she wants with it. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ The photons don't know she's the slow girl. They arrive. Her leaves capture them. The plant processes that energy. And she decides where that energy goes. Growth. Maintenance. Flower development. Everything happening inside this beautiful girl is her response to the environment. And her response is very much: "Give me time." ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE CAPABILITY, CONTROLLED OUTPUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The additional Future of Grow fixtures have also been a great part of this experiment because they give us more capability without forcing us to use maximum output. We don't need to run everything flat out just because we can. We have the capacity. We can control the output. We can measure what the plants are receiving. And we can find a practical operating point. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Passion Fruitz gets to enjoy the same artificial sun as the rest of the jungle. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for providing those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test them here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. It's been fascinating watching twelve completely different plants interpret the same lighting environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE PLANT DOESN'T NEED ME TO FORCE HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And this is probably the biggest lesson from Passion Fruitz. At this point... I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her look like another plant. I'm not trying to force her into somebody else's timeline. My job is much simpler. Observe. Check. Provide what she needs. Watch the environment. Monitor irrigation. Monitor nutrition. Look at the flowers. Look at the leaves. And if something genuinely needs attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her grow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ This girl has already shown us that she knows what she's doing. She just prefers to do it slowly. Very slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ STARTING TO WIND THINGS DOWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As we're moving into the later part of flowering, the nutritional strategy is also beginning to change. We're starting to reduce the mineral nutrition gradually. And this is something I personally prefer. I don't like going from: "Everything is running normally today." to: "Zero nutrition tomorrow." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Especially when working with mineral nutrition. I prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. A little less again when appropriate. And allow the plant to naturally move toward the later stages. Passion Fruitz is still actively developing. She's still green. She's still producing flowers. She's still producing fresh pistils. She's still working. So we're not interested in slamming the brakes on her simply because the calendar is advancing. We're beginning the reduction progressively and watching the plant. That's the approach I like. Controlled. Gradual. Observational. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WHY GRADUAL REDUCTION MAKES SENSE TO ME โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The important thing here is that we're not treating the end of the cycle like an on/off switch. Plants don't suddenly stop functioning because we've reached an arbitrary week number. They continue responding to their environment. And every phenotype can move through the later stages differently. Passion Fruitz has already demonstrated that she has her own rhythm. So it makes even less sense to force her into a rigid schedule. We're reducing the mineral input gradually. We're continuing to observe. We're allowing the plant to finish her own process. And we're giving her time. Because if there's one thing Passion Fruitz has taught us... it's that she's going to take whatever time she damn well wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ HER LEAVES ARE STILL DOING THEIR JOB โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another reason I don't want to interfere unnecessarily is the foliage. Those beautiful green leaves are still part of the plant's working machinery. They're capturing photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're supporting the developing flowers. They're part of the plant's overall balance. So unless something genuinely requires attention, I'm not interested in removing healthy foliage simply because we're getting closer to the end. The plant knows which leaves are useful. The plant knows which parts are aging. And we're watching those changes rather than trying to force them. Again... observe first. Act second. That's becoming more and more important as the grow progresses. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž RESIN, STRUCTURE AND ALL THOSE LITTLE DETAILS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The closer you look at this girl, the more you appreciate the details. There's the overall plant. Then the branches. Then the flowers. Then the individual floral structures. Then the pistils. Then the resin. And suddenly... you're looking at a completely different world. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ That's why I love macro photography. A beautiful plant becomes an entire landscape. Every flower has its own little architecture. Every calyx contributes to the shape. Every pistil adds another layer. Every trichome adds texture. And Passion Fruitz is giving us plenty to look at. Slowly. Of course. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE SOLO SURVIVOR STILL HAS THE SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There are a lot of personalities in the 8ร—8. But Passion Fruitz has earned a very special place. She's the solo survivor. The patient girl. The slow girl. The one who refuses to follow the room's timetable. And somehow... that makes her even more interesting. Because when everybody else is moving quickly, the slow plant gives you a different perspective. She reminds you that the grow isn't a race. It's a biological process. And every plant experiences that process differently. So yes... she's slow as fuck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But she's also absolutely beautiful. And that's what matters. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Honestly? More patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue photographing her. We're going to watch the pistils. We're going to watch the calyxes develop. We're going to observe the resin. We're going to continue gradually reducing the mineral nutrition as the plant moves toward the later stages. And we're going to let Passion Fruitz decide how quickly she wants to move. No rushing. No forcing. No trying to make her fit another plant's timeline. Just letting her be herself. And that's exactly what this diary is supposed to document. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET THE SLOW GIRL SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. And Passion Fruitz is still doing exactly what Passion Fruitz wants to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ Slow. Very slow. But beautiful. She's taking her time with everything. The flowers. The calyx development. The pistils. The resin. The overall progression. And I'm completely okay with that. Because when I look at her... I don't see a problem. I see a phenotype. A different rhythm. A different clock. A different expression. She's not the fastest girl in the room. She's not trying to be. She's simply continuing to develop at her own pace. And honestly? She's perfect as she comes. Beautiful floral formation. Beautiful calyxes. Beautiful white hairs. Beautiful green foliage. Beautiful structure. And an individuality that has become impossible to miss. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ?๐Ÿ’Ž This is why I love the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can put twelve plants together. Give them the same room. Give them the same general environment. Give them the same photons. Give them the same care. And they will still tell us twelve different stories. Passion Fruitz is telling us: "Slow down." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "Look closer." And when you do... there's a lot to see. So let's give this beautiful solo survivor the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's let her take her time. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. Let's keep watching those beautiful white pistils. Let's keep watching those calyxes become more defined. And let's see what this slow-as-fuck beauty decides to show us next. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ?๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the story week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow through the entire adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this journey. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. More lighting capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone who stops by. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person following these girls week after week. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This project continues to remind me that there is no single definition of progress. Some plants race. Some plants cruise. Some plants take the scenic route. And Passion Fruitz? She's taking the scenic route with absolutely no intention of apologizing for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ She's slow. She's beautiful. She's developing. She's producing gorgeous floral structures. She's covered in fresh white pistils. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's make her shine bright. Let's let this beautiful girl take all the time she needs. And let's keep documenting every step of the journey. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ?๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle.

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Harvest was completed after a full flowering cycle, cutting the plant at peak maturity. Buds were dense, resinous, and already showing a strong terpene expression at chop. Drying was carried out slowly and in a controlled environment, prioritizing terpene preservation and overall quality over speed. Low temperatures and moderate relative humidity were used, starting with whole branches and then adapting the process based on bud size and density. Due to the density of the flowers, internal moisture migration required close monitoring during the first days. Drying conditions were adjusted when necessary to avoid overdrying the outer layers while allowing moisture to escape evenly from the core. By the end of the drying phase, buds felt dry on the outside while remaining slightly elastic inside. Resin production was very noticeable, with buds staying extremely sticky and aromas already opening up. No signs of mold or off-smells were detected, only clean and expressive genetics coming through. The buds have now entered the curing phase, where the final aroma and flavor profile will fully develop. A final update will follow after 2โ€“3 weeks of curing.

27 weeks in and she decides to reveg, I never could of expected that Lambโ€™s Breath would be harvested before Mondayโ€™s Blue, and Blue is looking so delicious and the smell, damโ€ฆ the only thing I am loving is the thickness of the bud and itโ€™s still growing, talk about good news.

Day 70 from seedling and we are all done and dusted with these girls. I have taken them out of the dark place to semi trim them up for a slow dry. Hopefully , I will complete the harvest report as soon as they are done. about 10 days if I can keep them cool enough for a slow and low dry to get the best from them and use up all their chlorophyll stores. catch you at harvest Growmies.

Querido diario, esta semana he crecido 3cm por arriba y tres por abajo... me estoy haciendo mayor!! 07/01/21 Hoy he pasado todo el dรญa mirando por la ventana, es todo luz y color!! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Mi armario es triste, aunque al menos se estรก caliente y me da luz cuando el dรญa acaba, he estado haciendo seรฑas a las otras plantas a travรฉs del cristal, pero ellas no se mueven, no responden, parece que les cuesta, tienen las hojas muy gordas, no como yo, que soy liviana, elรกstica y grรกcil... me quiero!! ๐Ÿ˜ 11/01/21 Ya he desarrollado mi tercer nudo, mi cultivador estรก muy contento, pero sobre todo porque me ha dicho que mis raรญces estรกn creciendo perfectas; blancas, peludas, vigorosas y muy verticales... me ha dicho que si sigo asรญ la semana que viene me trasplanta a una maceta mayor, que serรก mi suelo para toda la vida!! ๐Ÿ˜Š Le he preguntado que maceta me pondrรก, pero me ha dicho que no lo sabe aรบn, pero que me reserva algo especial!! Yupyyy!! Me ha dicho tambiรฉn que si me porto bien y sigo creciendo me va a poner un armario de floraciรณn para mi sola!!.... que suerte!! ๐Ÿ˜‹ Anoche mi jefe me preguntรณ si no tenรญa sed, porque dice que consumo mucha agua, le he tenido que explicar que la temperatura de estos dรญas y mi tamaรฑo no necesita mรกs, que por ahora mis raรญces crecen libres por los agujeros de la maceta y captan la humedad ambiente. Aun asรญ anoche mi cultivador me regรณ con un agua templada que me sentรณ muy bien, ademรกs desde ese riego siento unas cosquillas en mis raรญces, mi jefe dice que son los Microorganismos que me inoculรณ y que serรกn mis eternos ayudantes para el flujo de nutrientes y minerales por todo mi ser. Esta maรฑana los he conocido!! ๐Ÿ˜ณ son muy, muy pequeรฑos, no los veo, sรณlo los siento y los escucho ๐Ÿ˜ฆ, me han dicho que ellos necesitan constantemente la energรญa que produzco, captada de la luz... el azรบcar, porque los MM son diabรฉticos y no almacenan azucar, si tienen ellos trabajarรกn dรญa y noche para solubilizar los nutrientes del suelo y pasรกrmelos a mi... no estoy segura de poder hacerlo... soy muy pequeรฑa ๐Ÿ˜จ... le voy a a preguntar al jefe... Ya lo tengo claro!! ๐Ÿ˜Š vengo de hablar con el jefe y me ha dicho que no me preocupe por el azรบcar, el le darรก melaza a los MM y tambiรฉn la materia orgรกnica para que coman y se reproduzcan por millones y mantengan mis raรญces muy funcionales para absorber todos los nutrientes que necesito... Yeah, que harรญa yo sin mi jefe?!! ๐Ÿ˜ Hoy estรกbamos todos contentos, bueno menos el perro de mi jefe, que me ignora y sรณlo quiere comer y jugar... es un presumido!! Hoy para festejar el dรญa nos hemos hecho un selfie, mi jefe, mi prima Sweet Amnesia Haze y yo... estoy haciendo migas con mi prima, aunque es muy pequeรฑita todavรญa y habla poco, yo la cuido como si fuera su hermana mayor, dormimos hasta en la misma cama. Realmente los dรญas de esta semana son muy tranquilos y hasta monรณtonos, mi jefe se esfuerza en mantenernos calentitas, pues el frรญo exterior es mucho... pero hoy la rutina se ha roto!! una vibraciรณn muy agradable y estimulante ha recorrido todo mi cuerpo... he conocido la mรบsica!! ๐Ÿ˜... estoy tan emocionada que mi cultivador me ha preparado un escenario, y ha dicho... que no pare la fiesta!! y tambiรฉn me ha dado una mariquita para decorar mi pequeรฑa maceta... mi primera joya!! ๐Ÿ˜ En esta discoteca improvisada hemos bailado, cantado y hecho coros, para acabar regados con la emociรณn incontenida de dos amigos inseparables!! - And when I'm lonely, Cherry's there --And she plays along while I sing out my blues... - Maybe we could talk 'bout things - If you was made of wood and strings... - Her name is AKU, we've just met.... ... estoy Happy, amo mi vida de plรกntula!!

BUENOS DรAS familia , ya es viernes y toca actualizar semana. Las lemon kush empiezan apestar, entramos en la recta final, veremos cรณmo engordan estas รบltimas semanas. Hemos bajado la humedad hasta 45% y la temperatura bajo algo tambiรฉn, lo cual tampoco es malo. Aplicaremos algo de PK en polvo para endurecer las flores estas ultimas semanas. Os dejo una serie de fotos y vรญdeos para que contemplรฉis la evoluciรณn de las flores.

Two of the three have been cut. The first one was just a stubby little lady that had just under an ounce of dried flower. The second one was taken last night and her main cola weight 5 wet and was just covered in oily terpenes. This last one while behind the others is by FAR the frostiest and I canโ€™t wait for her to ripen. Therefore I am not calling it a harvest until the trichomes become perfect as the last one did.
