🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 5 (Late Vegetative Growth / Pre-Flower) 🍬 The Solo Survivor – Small Setback, Big Future Every grow has a story, and not every story begins perfectly. Candy Rain is the only survivor from this folder. Losing her sister early in the project was entirely on me, and that’s simply part of growing. Every mistake becomes another lesson, and rather than focusing on what was lost, this diary celebrates the plant that kept pushing forward. Despite her delayed start, she’s proving that healthy genetics and a stable environment can overcome a rough beginning remarkably quickly. She’s only a few days behind the rest of the room, yet every day she seems determined to close that gap. This project continues documenting how autoflowers perform under a true 12/12 From Seed schedule from germination, challenging the common belief that this lighting regime prevents vigorous development. Supported by the complete Plagron feeding program, grown under the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and thriving inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, Candy Rain is becoming another reminder that every plant deserves its own opportunity to shine. And this week… She absolutely deserves her spotlight. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Catching Up Fast Although I’m still considering this her final week of vegetative growth for reporting purposes, the plant clearly finished the week entering pre-flower. Fresh pistils are now appearing at the top growth, and the transition toward bloom is well underway. Rather than exploding into stretch overnight, Candy Rain is making the change gradually while continuing to build a sturdy framework for flowering. At around 60 cm tall, she isn’t the largest plant in the room, but she’s beautifully proportioned. The internodal spacing is excellent, the main stem continues thickening nicely, and every branch is positioning itself to receive strong light as flowering progresses. Sometimes the smaller plants end up becoming the easiest ones to manage, and she’s developing exactly that kind of balanced architecture. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Plant Development Training has remained simple and gentle throughout the grow. Low Stress Training has helped open the canopy while preserving the plant’s natural structure. Combined with regular leaf repositioning, this has allowed light to reach developing side branches without introducing unnecessary stress. One thing visible this week is some damage on a few older leaves. This isn’t something I’m concerned about. Between the early setbacks, a little environmental stress from airflow, and perhaps my own learning moments while dialing everything in, a handful of leaves have certainly seen better days. The important part is what the plant is telling me now. The newest growth is emerging vibrant, healthy, and beautifully green, showing that the current conditions are exactly where they need to be. Rather than chasing cosmetic perfection on older leaves, I’m paying attention to the fresh growth—and that’s looking fantastic. Healthy new growth always tells the real story. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation Although this report still closes the vegetative chapter, the plant has already begun receiving the same flowering transition feed as the rest of the room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The transition has been smooth, with an EC around 1.83, pH maintained at 6.05. No signs of nutrient deficiencies are developing in the new growth, giving me confidence that the plant has recovered completely from her slower beginning. She’s now receiving exactly what the rest of the room is receiving—and she’s responding beautifully. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue providing a stable ecosystem for every plant inside the tent. * Day temperature: 31.1°C * Night temperature: 25°C * Relative humidity: 72% * Solution temperature: 21.6°C * Root zone temperature: 21°C * CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Even with the warm summer temperatures, the healthy root environment, excellent airflow, and consistent irrigation continue allowing the plants to grow vigorously while transitioning naturally into bloom. The room continues doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week marks the beginning of a completely new chapter. The stretch should become much more noticeable as Candy Rain fully commits to flowering, and I’m excited to see how her elegant structure begins filling with bud sites over the coming weeks. Being only slightly behind the rest of the room really isn’t a concern anymore. In fact, she seems determined to catch up one day at a time, and with every new set of leaves she’s reminding me that healthy plants don’t dwell on the past—they simply keep growing. I’m looking forward to watching those first flower clusters begin stacking along each branch. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts Not every plant starts life under perfect circumstances. Sometimes the most rewarding grows are the ones that overcome early challenges and keep moving forward without looking back. Candy Rain may be the solo survivor of this folder, but she’s far from being “the leftover.” She’s becoming a beautiful example of resilience, proving that a slightly delayed start doesn’t define the final harvest. Every week she’s writing a better chapter than the last. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing such reliable nutrition, Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting, and to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion for growing make these weekly updates something I genuinely look forward to creating. Until next week… Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Such an amazing flower, really great especially a phenomenal hash producer yall will be super satisfied with this one!! She’s a shorty but Make sure you top 4 to 6 times or even more to have all them gooey bud producing heads , Dirtyblonde is absolutely an amazing plant!!

All the same from my diary from Thc Bomb exempting the pest ....the pest where fine on my obi-wan until I put end-all on my Thc Bomb after its 👀 liked to move into my obi-wan so obi-wan add the same little treatment with end-all For this week fertilizers I’m gonna go 1/4 of recommend strength for hydro ...I do have sign of little over fertilizer on her but I’m not worry I always been pushing my fertilizer really high when growing indoor and never add bad results , just need to know when to give them a little slack/ brakes 😉 Need theses thing gone before next week 😡 the pleasure of growing outside

Die Blüte schreitet gut voran, auch wenn ich bei einer meine wild cherries einen Mangel festgestellt habe. Eine ice rink hat begonnen, ihre Farbe zu verändern .

The wedding cookies so far is smelling really sweet and a gassy diesel aroma. Thc is starting to stack now. I didn’t really have any high hope for this as I bought it not really knowing about genetics and breeders! But it’s starting to do me proud lol as of the Bruce cookies which will be the biggest one you see In the pics has been doing great the whole time. Also I will probs just do an all in one diary for!!! 😄

Well, she is definitely getting there. She is extremely stinky. I'm starting to show some beautiful colors... When I open my front door this smells smacjs you right in the face and it is heavenly... Thank you so much to Kannabia Seeds i must say.I am happy then I take this over the rs11 because she is absolutely stunning. The nugs are rock and I mean rock hard, and like I said, this smell is top notch... I think she has about a week tops left and she is getting the chop ... I hope everyone is doing well, thank you to everybody. I really appreciate everyone showing support and understanding that it's nothing personal that I haven't been liking and talking as much... I am, however, coming around the hump, so I should be more active in the future... I hope always well God bless everyone ✌️

Loving this Queen of Sheba growth! Excellent looking leaves. Still a bit impatient with regards to growth. If any tips please pass them along my way!

Tequila Sunrise - Week 9: ¡Nuggets of Hope Under the Brandenburg Sun! ¡Hola from the land of sunshine, amigos! This week's been a real turn-around for our Tequila Sunrise! Seems like Mother Nature finally got the memo and decided to crank up the heat. All that sunshine has been a welcome change, and our little señorita is definitely basking in its glory. The most exciting part? hose flower buds are starting to look downright delicious! They're getting nice and dense already, packing on trichomes like there's no tomorrow. This is where things get interesting, though. With all this sunshine comes the threat of rain and humidity, which could spell trouble for those tight nugs. We'll have to keep a close eye on things and maybe even improvise a little rain shelter if needed. But hey, that's all part of the adventure, right? Speaking of adventure, the slug war seems to be a distant memory. Those plastic chair thrones are proving to be a fortress of solitude for Tequila Sunrise! No slimy visitors have dared to breach its defenses. Victory is sweet, my friends! However, it wouldn't be a proper telenovela without a little subplot, would it? Looks like a few sneaky weeds decided to join the party in Tequila Sunrise's pot. No worries, though, they'll be evicted faster than you can say "fiesta foul." We can't have any unwanted guests stealing the spotlight from our main star! And the star of the show is definitely looking frosty, amigos! Those buds are getting a beautiful coat of trichomes, sparkling like diamonds in the sun. To give you a closer look at the battle scars and the frosty magic happening, I even put together a little video. Check it out and let me know what you think! Things are definitely looking up for Tequila Sunrise! With a little sunshine and a whole lot of good vibes from all you growmies, she might just surprise us with a decent harvest after all. Stay tuned for next week's update.

WEEK 8; all plants healthy and bug free buds are beginning to form . temp is at a perfect 78 degrees no complaints or concerns i'm sure this crop will last me till next year i'm hoping week 9 should show a big improvement in buds forming

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estás Zkittelz de Seeds Mafia. La humedad está entorno al 50%, y la temperatura la tengo entre los 22/24 grados. Controlamos en ph en cada riego a 6.2. Y el agua que utilizo de riego suele estar estancada entre 24 / 36 horas, hasta aquí todo bien, tienen un buen color, ya van progresando y creciendo a buen ritmo, vemos cómo avanzan estas semanas y como avanza el progreso de las flores. Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

The Guava Runtz continues to stack buds beautifully across the entire plant, with the flowers steadily swelling and gaining density. A noticeable frost layer is starting to develop, coating the buds and sugar leaves with an increasingly thick blanket of trichomes. This week I performed a defoliation after discovering some feeding damage on the leaves, and starting with the next watering I will transition from Big Bud to Overdrive for the final flowering phase.

Love this 1st grow. Even though its small. Hope I got good weight out of this. Smells great whenever I open my cupboard. Cant wait for my next grow green gelato auto. 😁

Removed bloom from nutes. Last feed on 31st. Plain water twice spaced over 2 days Can't wait to harvest this baby. 1 month is worth the dry n cure!

LOOKS AND SMELLS LUSH FLUSH WEEK 1 I flushed with pure water week 2 As soon as my new beans turn up this is getting chopped so Heavy , leaning , bending the bucket crazy

Decided they were ready to harvest! As always, I’m so grateful for the beautiful growing experience! Not a huge harvest but I learned/observed a few things this grow: - 5 gallon plastic buckets did not work great for me. Kept way too much moisture and it really hurt the plants. I’ll stick to fabric pots for now on 😬 - I couldn’t figure out how to regulate the grow room for the optimal temp/humidity the plants needed. I finally figure it out, but these plants suffered big time. BUT I’m glad they survived and am grateful for what they did produce! Plant C was such a joy to watch grow with its natural split. I will update with final weights and more details later!

Was away so didn't get chance to post a week these girls are going so strong I couldn't belive the visible notice of growth worth every penny discount up to 20% on my page

They are stretching almost out of control. The lights are at their max height without modifying the hanging mechanisms, which I will definitely have to do. They still have another solid week of stretch yet. Besides that they seem fairly healthy. The runt (1/4) drinks a little more slowly than the others.

Hey yall! Thanks for tuning in this week. Had a great look under the microscope of my soil, I just ordered a camera for my scope so next week look forward to seeing and identifying some beneficial microbiology! Another round of compost tea, I added Kiwi 🥝 😋 Fermented Juice, to this round of tea. Also adding food for the bacteria (simple sugars) and for the fungi (complex carbs). I suggest using diverse food for increased biodiversity. The mycelium network is really established at this point. Which is why I highly recommend to keep reusing your soil, and the larger the pot size the better. I am in 10 gallons for now. Once I move into our house will be into living beds, 100 gallon + If you can't be in a bed, use 25 gallon. You will benefit in time. So at this point only using inputs I have made from organically grown plants, mostly grown in house. Anything else was wildcrafted, sustainably, so if I take something from nature I am replacing it with something else. Balance in all things. Added the fruit for pushing the flowers. Pistol hairs are growing. This strain is a sativa dominant, and thus my flowers are not as compact and "looser" than indica dominant strains I have always grown. Review on this sativa dominant cultivar is: harder to grow than most strains, longer flowering time is also a pain while increasing my costs with more days with the lights on. Getting COAs on the finished flowers and I will post on here, I am hoping for higher levels of THCv, let's get into the rare cannabinoids and higher terpenes!

Plants have stretched more than i thought. Been trying to fill out the screen as best as i can, some have worked better than others. Looks like there are plenty of bud sights. Began pk heavy this week so looking forwsrd to seeing them fatten up. I also gave a light defoliation under the canopy removing skinny stretchy stems receiving little light. I also removed some massive fan leaves that were blocking light from budsights. Not too many just enough to have light penetrate.
