I need to change this tent urgently! ! I'm going to move this beast into the big tent 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 14 💗🌱 The Little Dwarf Has Come Down – Small in Size, Big in Heart 👑✨ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well, my friends… Our little dwarf has reached the end of her journey in the tent. 💗🌿 And today, I want to give her the spotlight she deserves. Because this girl has a story worth telling. She's not the biggest plant in the room. She's not the one that dominated the canopy. She's not the one we would normally look at and immediately think, "Yes, let's keep this one until harvest!" 😂 But we did. We kept her. We gave her a place in the experiment. We allowed her to grow alongside the other girls. And now, here we are, at the end of her flowering journey. And honestly? I'm happy we gave her that chance. 💚👑 Because the 8×8 Adventure was never supposed to be a competition where only the biggest plants deserved to survive. It was an opportunity to observe different genetics, different phenotypes, and different expressions under the same general conditions. And sometimes, those differences are exactly what make the journey interesting. Pink Rosay Pheno B was our little dwarf. She stayed small. She grew at her own scale. And she still made it all the way to harvest. So today, we're celebrating her small beauty, documenting her final appearance, and explaining what comes next. Let's give this little girl her moment. Because she earned it. 💗🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 📢 FIRST THINGS FIRST – WHY IS THIS A FLOWERING-WEEK REPORT? Before we get into the harvest, let's explain something for anyone following the individual diaries. Yes, this is a flowering-week update, even though the plant has now been harvested. And there's a reason for that. GrowDiaries has limitations on the number of photographs we can include in an individual update. When we're documenting a plant's final days, harvest, and everything that follows, the photographs can quickly add up. We want to show you the plant in the tent. We want to preserve her final photographs. We want to document the harvest. And later, we want to share the processing, the results, and our final conclusions. Trying to fit all of that into one update would mean sacrificing details and photographs that deserve their own space. So, just as we're doing with the other individual plants, we're using this flowering-week report to document the end of her time in the tent and her harvest. The next report will cover the next stage of her journey. This is an individual diary, and each plant deserves her own story, even when several plants reach harvest around the same time. Thank you for understanding, my friends. 💚 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP – THE 12/12-FROM-SEED ADVENTURE Let's go back to the beginning of the experiment. The 8×8 Adventure has been running on a 12/12 light schedule from seed. That means we didn't follow the conventional approach of giving the plants a separate, extended vegetative period before switching the room to flowering. From the beginning, the plants had to develop and express themselves within the same overall lighting schedule. And that has made this project particularly interesting. We've had different cultivars. Different phenotypes. Different plant sizes. Different structures. Different flowering behaviours. And some very different personalities! 😂🌿 Some girls grew tall. Some became broad and substantial. Some stayed compact. And then there was Pink Rosay Pheno B. Our dwarf. 💗👑 She was the plant that reminded us that not every seed produces the size or structure we might expect. And instead of pretending that every plant was going to become a giant, we documented what actually happened. That's the point of this experiment. We're not trying to make every phenotype look identical. We're observing the plants as they develop, recording their differences, and learning from the results. And this little girl has given us another example of just how much variation can exist within the same grow. ──────────────────────── 💗 THE DWARF WE DECIDED TO KEEP Let's be honest for a moment. In many grows, a plant that remains this small might not be kept until harvest. Growers have limited space. They have limited time. They have their own goals. And sometimes, a particularly small plant simply doesn't fit the plan. That's understandable. But this was the 8×8 Adventure. And I wanted to see her through. 😂💚 She was small. She was different. She wasn't going to compete with the taller girls for space in the canopy. But she was still a living plant, expressing herself in her own way. So we kept her. We gave her the same general opportunity as the rest of the room. We continued observing her. We documented her development. And we allowed her to complete her journey. I'm genuinely happy we did. Because now we have a complete record of what happened to this particular phenotype under our conditions. We didn't remove her simply because she wasn't the biggest. We didn't pretend she was something she wasn't. We let her grow, and we recorded the result. 🌱💗 And sometimes, that's worth more than trying to make every plant fit a preconceived idea of what a successful grow should look like. ──────────────────────── 👑 SMALL PLANT, REAL STORY I want to make one thing clear. Calling her a dwarf isn't an insult. It's simply how we're describing the plant we observed. She's much smaller than many of her neighbours, and that difference became part of her identity throughout the diary. But her size doesn't erase the journey. She still developed. She still flowered. She still became part of the room. And she still reached harvest. 💗🌿 That's why I wanted to keep her report. Because if we only document the plants that become enormous, heavily branched, or spectacularly productive, we're leaving out part of the picture. Real grows aren't always perfectly uniform. Seeds don't come with a guarantee that every plant will grow to the same size. Phenotypes can express themselves differently. And sometimes, the smallest plant in the room becomes one of the most memorable parts of the experiment. Pink Rosay B may be our dwarf, but she's absolutely part of the story. And she deserves to be documented just as honestly as her sister. ──────────────────────── 📸 A FEW LAST PHOTOGRAPHS FOR OUR LITTLE GIRL Before we said goodbye to her time in the tent, we took a few photographs to preserve her final appearance. 💗📸 We didn't need to turn this into a massive studio production. This time, the goal was simple. Let's remember her. Let's document the plant we actually grew. Let's capture those final details before the next stage begins. And let's give her the same respect we give every plant in this adventure. Looking back through the photographs, I think that's important. Because once a plant has been harvested and the next stage begins, the original living structure is gone. The branches are no longer standing in their familiar positions. The plant is no longer part of the canopy. And the journey moves forward. Those photographs preserve a moment that we can't recreate later. So even though our little dwarf didn't demand an enormous photographic collection, she still received her final photoshoot. 😂💗 A few photographs. A little appreciation. And a proper goodbye to her time in the tent. ──────────────────────── 🌸 HER SISTER CAME DOWN, AND SO DID OUR DWARF As with her sister, Pink Rosay Pheno A, this little girl has now been harvested. Both sisters have reached the end of their time in the tent, although their individual stories remain separate in GrowDiaries. And that's exactly why we're continuing to document them individually. They shared the room. They shared the general environment. They were part of the same 12/12-from-seed experiment. But they were not the same plant. Pheno A became our Compact Princess, a girl I've loved photographing and admiring throughout the run. Pheno B became our little dwarf, the smaller sister we decided to keep and follow all the way to harvest. 💗👑🌱 Same cultivar. Two different expressions. Two individual stories. And now, both have moved into the next stage of their journey. That's one of the things I love about keeping separate phenotype diaries. We can appreciate the similarities without pretending the differences don't exist. And we can give each plant the space to tell her own story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ FROM THE TENT TO THE FREEZER Now comes the next part of this little girl's journey. After harvesting her, we prepared the material and vacuum-bagged it for storage in the freezer. ❄️🌿 She's now resting there, waiting for the next stage of the experiment. And in this case, we're planning two washes. I want to be clear about where we are in the process. We haven't completed those washes yet. We don't have a final result to report. We don't know exactly how much material she'll deliver. And I'm not going to invent a number just to make the report sound more exciting. 😂💚 What we do know is that the material has been prepared, vacuum-bagged, and placed in the freezer while we wait to process it. The next chapter will be about what happens when we finally get to that stage. We'll document the process and share the results we actually obtain. And yes, I'm curious! Because this girl is small, I'm keeping my expectations realistic. I'm not expecting a huge result from her. But that doesn't mean the experiment isn't worth doing. Whatever she delivers, we'll document it honestly. If the result is small, we'll say so. If something surprises us, we'll share that too. The whole point is to show the journey as it happens, not to promise an outcome before we've even started. 💚❄️ ──────────────────────── 🫧 TWO WASHES – LET'S SEE WHAT SHE HAS TO OFFER This is where our dwarf's story becomes a little different from a conventional flower-focused diary. Her next chapter will focus on the planned washing process and the results that follow. We're planning two washes, and we'll document what we obtain. I'm not going into this expecting miracles. 😂 She's a small plant, and it would be unrealistic to pretend otherwise. But the value of an experiment isn't determined only by the amount of material at the end. There's also the experience. The documentation. The opportunity to compare results. And the chance to understand what this particular plant contributes to the overall project. We want to show what happens, not simply what we hope will happen. So we'll wait until the processing stage, document the results, and share the outcome with you. No invented yields. No exaggerated promises. No pretending we already know the answer. Just an honest continuation of the story. 🌿🫧💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE EXPERIMENT DOESN'T END AT HARVEST One of the reasons I wanted to keep this girl until the end is that the experiment doesn't have to stop when the plant comes down. Her growing journey is complete, but there's still more to learn from what we've collected. We've documented her size. We've documented her development. We've preserved photographs of her final appearance. And now, we've kept material for the next stage of the project. Each part adds another piece to the overall record. Of course, a single plant cannot answer every question, and we're not going to treat one result as a universal rule. But every properly documented result gives us something real to discuss. And that's what I enjoy about these projects. We observe. We record. We compare. We learn. And sometimes, the smallest plant gives us a reason to ask just as many questions as the biggest one. 😂🌱 ──────────────────────── 💚 SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT EXPRESSION Let's return to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. The plants shared the same general environment, the same lighting ecosystem, and the same overall approach to managing the room. But their expressions were different. Some became tall. Some became compact. Some developed broad structures. Some stayed smaller. And Pink Rosay Pheno B remained our little dwarf. That doesn't automatically tell us why she stayed small. We shouldn't pretend we can identify the exact cause from appearance alone. What we can say is that this was her observed expression in this run. And that is worth recording. 🌿💗 The environment was the shared stage. The plants were the individual performers. And this little girl gave us her own performance. She didn't need to become a giant to have a place in the experiment. She simply needed to be given the opportunity to show us what she would do. And we gave her that opportunity. ──────────────────────── 😂 THE LITTLE GIRL THAT MADE IT ALL THE WAY I have to admit, there's something satisfying about this. We could have removed her early. We could have decided she wasn't worth keeping. We could have focused only on the larger plants and left her out of the final record. But we didn't. We kept her. We followed her. We photographed her. And now, she's been harvested alongside her sister. 💗🌱 That doesn't mean every small plant must always be kept in every grow. Different growers have different goals and constraints. But in this particular experiment, I wanted to see her journey through. And I'm happy we did. Because now, rather than wondering what might have happened, we have a complete growing chapter and a new stage to document. Our little dwarf made it. And she deserves a little celebration for that. 😂👑💚 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The next chapter is already waiting for us. ❄️ Her material is vacuum-bagged and stored in the freezer. 🫧 We're planning two washes. 📸 We'll document the next stage. ⚖️ We'll share the results we actually obtain. 💚 And we'll explain what we learn from the process. I'm not expecting a large result, and I'm not going to promise one. But whatever happens, we'll share it honestly. That's the commitment behind these diaries. The story doesn't end just because the plant is no longer standing in the tent. It continues through the next stages, and we'll document them when they happen. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – OUR LITTLE DWARF DESERVES HER SPOTLIGHT Week 14. Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno B. Our little dwarf. 💗🌱👑 And today, I want to celebrate her. Not because she's the biggest plant we've grown. Not because we're expecting an enormous result. Not because she's suddenly become something she wasn't. But because we gave her a chance, followed her journey, and allowed her to reach the end of her flowering stage. She was small. She was different. And she was part of this adventure. We took a few final photographs to remember her beauty. We harvested her alongside her sister. And we've vacuum-bagged her material and placed it in the freezer, where it will wait for the next stage of the experiment. Two washes are planned. The results are still to come. And when they do, we'll share them. Whatever she delivers, we'll be honest about it. Because this is what the 8×8 Adventure is about. Not pretending every plant is a giant. Not hiding the smaller expressions. Not measuring the value of the entire experience by one number. It's about growing, observing, documenting, and learning from what actually happens. And this little girl has been part of that from beginning to end. 💗🌿 So yes, our dwarf has come down. Her time in the tent is over. But her story isn't finished. The next chapter is waiting in the freezer, and we'll return to it when the time comes. Until then, let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Small in size. Part of the family. And absolutely worth documenting. 😂💚👑 Thank you, little Pink Rosay. You grew. You flowered. You made it to harvest. And you became part of a journey we're happy to share. Let's see what comes next. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the individual journeys inside the 8×8 Adventure and share our experiences with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving us the opportunity to observe these two very different phenotypes. 💗🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person who takes the time to stop by and follow these girls through their individual journeys. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 ──────────────────────── 🌿 COME JOIN OUR DISCORD COMMUNITY!

We'd love to have you with us! 💚🤝🌱 ──────────────────────── 💚 SEE YOU IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Pink Rosay Auto Pheno B. Our little dwarf. Our unexpected member of the adventure. 🌸💗🌱 Her flowering journey is complete. Her final photographs are taken. Her material is vacuum-bagged and resting in the freezer. And her next chapter will begin when we move forward with the two planned washes. We're not expecting miracles. We're not promising a huge result. We're simply going to see what she gives us, document it, and share the experience honestly. Because she deserves that. Because the experiment deserves that. And because even the smallest plant can have a story worth telling. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle… where the big girls, the small girls, the unusual girls, and every phenotype in between all have their place. Our dwarf may have been one of the smallest plants in the room… but she made it all the way to harvest. And that deserves a little love. 💗👑🌿 Let her shine. 💚✨

My plants started showing signs of flowering in the fourth week. They're doing well in 1-liter pots so far; I haven't encountered any problems. If the weather remains favorable, I think we'll have a beautiful start to flowering 😊

Que pasa familia, vamos con la novena semana de floración de estas Rainbow Melón feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores están bien prietas y resinosas, sacan unos aromas muy fuertes que no logro describir así, está acabando de madurar, los tonos que se marca son increíbles, no veas como se han puesto. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

The first week is over and little babies are doing nicely. As expected the growth is slowly progressing and I can already see small roots coming from the wholes at the bottom of little pots which shows the plants are healthy. They didn't need much water this week. I've started adding Canna mixture in little dosages not to cause stress. Also took some time to add two Bestvas 600 LEDs and made some house keeping and tied all the cables nicely to the skeleton of grow tent. All in all the plants are doing great, no problems so far and looking forward what this week will bring. Thanks everybody for all the likes and comments! 👌 Have a great week and healthy grow😁

Week 4 of flowering shows strong structural development with many evenly distributed bud sites and the first signs of stacking. The canopy opened up well after selective defoliation, allowing light to reach the second layer, while resin production and bud formation continue to accelerate.

2024-08-31 Tangerine Snow F1 fast, performs like a Queen, iam so impressed by this Strain, really the bet i have grown for long time in and outdoors!!! The Outdoor Girl, soaks in the Perfect weather Conditions , she loves her spotunder the Roof in good Company. She drinks and eats like a champ, but as you can see she needs it. Sher performs like a Plant that sits in open Ground, but she is into ( only) 15 L Growbag. thats awsome The revegetating Girl She shows sweet new Flowers already ( she was harvested weeks ago, and i let her revegetate outdoors) so we are going to have another Harvest here. iam super fascinated. BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Final dry weight report (details later): Final chop was on day 88. First harvest was 184g of top-shelf from 5 colas. Then another 5 colas brought it up to 300g of top-shelf on sticks — all from the tent. On the second-to-last harvest I took the rest, which added up to another ~300g including leaves. Flushed with Terra Aquatica FlashClean (before that I was running Overdrive + honey with the base bloom nutrients). In total: 3 days on water + FlashClean, followed by a step-by-step harvest and another 6 days just on water.

I didn't prepare this crop well enough, I still need to work on a schedule. I tried to correct processes that I thought were wrong but they were actually correct so I got a new overfeeding.

Feb 14, 2018: Seems my fears were unfounded, I'm not seeing any spots of mildew and I think in 4 days I would see something if it was there. Water with plain water, just ph'd nothing else added. staked up a couple of the buds, all the other palnts are managing to hold each other up, the fan leaves seem to grow into each other so the canopy is a solid moving mass. When the oscillating fan hits the colas the whole canopy sways slightly. For future grow I plan to have more space between plants, and will need a screen/net to hold everything up. Feb 12,13 2018: Watered with 10ml/Gal Tiger Bloom, 10ml/Gal Big Bloom, 2tsp blackstrap molasses, 1ml Cal-Mag per gallon. Ph'd to 6.5 ish. Lost my SD card so didn't get any photos 2/12, but took some with my phone on day 73, and then found my SD card. High quality photos are back tomorrow mourning. Feb 11, 2018: Had a bit of a freak out, thought i had spotted a couple PM spots forming, think it was just the leaves resinous sticky. After the scare decided to do some major cleanup of old leaves and ALL dead leaves, i know it wont help fight PM, but added a small 6" fan circulating air below canopy. Humidity has been constant due to running a dehumidifier so it stays between 45-50 lights on and off.

😊

Waiting

Thanks to marshydro for giving me the oportunity to test your lights and also thanks Sweetseeds for providing me one of the best genetics! so exited about this diary too, this is a 20 liter pot filled with %75 soil, %20 rich compost and %5 mulch
