🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 7 (Flowering) 🌱 Small Plant. Big Personality. Some plants demand attention the moment they emerge. Others earn it quietly. This little Pink Rosay continues to be the smallest plant inside the entire Project Blue Tent, yet week after week she reminds me that a grower's job isn't to judge a plant by its height, but to help it become the very best version of itself. Growing under my ongoing 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has followed a completely different path from her sister. While Pheno A reached confidently toward the lights, this compact little lady chose to stay low, building an incredibly tight framework instead of chasing vertical growth. If I had grown only this phenotype, I might have wondered why she stayed so small. Instead, growing both sisters side by side has become another beautiful reminder that every seed carries its own personality. And that's exactly why I love growing from seed. 🌸 Week 7 – A Tiny Plant Filled With Flowers This week the transformation became impossible to ignore. Every branch is now carrying clusters of bright white pistils that seem to multiply every single day. What was once a compact green plant is slowly turning into a collection of miniature flower towers, each one stacking neatly above the next. The flowers are still young, but they are forming with wonderful symmetry, and the bud sites are beginning to connect throughout the entire canopy. One thing I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is how proportional everything feels. Nothing is oversized. Nothing feels stretched. Every centimetre of growth seems to have been used efficiently. She may occupy very little space inside the tent, but she's making excellent use of every bit of it. 🌿 Structure & Growth Standing at approximately 63 cm, she has gained a little more height this week while remaining the most compact plant in the room. Her internodal spacing continues to be incredibly tight, producing a naturally dense structure that barely required any training to create an even canopy. The gentle Low Stress Training (LST) performed earlier continues paying dividends by opening the centre of the plant just enough to improve airflow and light penetration without disturbing her natural shape. One thing I've really noticed this week is how balanced her architecture has become. Instead of producing one dominant cola with scattered side branches, she's developing numerous evenly sized flowering tops that should mature together over the coming weeks. She truly feels like a miniature version of her sister. Smaller in every dimension. Just as beautiful. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be absolutely outstanding. The leaves maintain a deep emerald-green colour with excellent turgor from top to bottom, showing no signs of deficiencies, toxicity, or environmental stress. Leaf posture remains relaxed and confident, while new growth emerges clean and vibrant around every developing flower. One of the advantages of keeping her under close observation through hand watering is being able to appreciate just how consistently healthy she has remained throughout the entire grow. She isn't asking for special treatment. She's simply responding beautifully to consistency. 💡 Lighting – Every Photon Matters Being the shortest plant in the tent naturally means she spends much of her life beneath a taller canopy. This is exactly where the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting becomes especially valuable. While the Future of Grow Black Series 600W delivers excellent intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars help illuminate the lower sections of this compact phenotype, allowing light to reach bud sites that would otherwise spend much of the day in shade. For a plant with such dense internodal spacing, that additional light penetration could make a significant difference as the flowers continue stacking over the next several weeks. Sometimes the smallest plants benefit the most from thoughtful lighting design. 💧 Hand Watering & Nutrition She continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system, allowing me to tailor every feeding while monitoring her progress on a daily basis. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • pH: 5.8 Despite her compact size, she's accepting the current feeding schedule extremely well, maintaining excellent colour while continuing to build flowers across the entire plant. 🌡️ Environment The environmental conditions remain stable, allowing every phenotype inside Project Blue Tent to express its own genetic potential. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root-zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the biggest contributors to healthy growth, particularly during these important early flowering weeks. 🌼 The Beauty of Letting Plants Be Themselves I think this little Pink Rosay teaches one of the most valuable lessons in growing. Many growers would have looked at her size several weeks ago and immediately assumed something was wrong. Some might even have started over. But plants don't all read the same instruction manual. Phenotypes exist for a reason. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some focus on structure before flowers. Others race toward the lights. There isn't always a "correct" version. There are simply different expressions of the same genetics. By allowing every plant to finish its own journey instead of comparing it to its neighbours, we often discover that the quietest plants become some of the most memorable ones. Every plant deserves the opportunity to show us what it can become. 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch now appears to be over, and from this point forward I expect nearly all of her energy to be directed toward flower production. Those incredibly tight nodes should begin merging together into dense, compact colas as the calyxes continue swelling over the coming weeks. Will she produce the biggest harvest in the tent? Probably not. But I have a feeling she'll reward patience with beautiful, dense flowers that perfectly reflect her compact personality. Sometimes greatness doesn't come in the biggest package. 🙏 Final Thoughts This little Pink Rosay continues to remind me why I enjoy documenting every single phenotype. She isn't trying to compete with her sister. She isn't trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She's simply expressing the genetics she was given, and she's doing it with remarkable health, beautiful structure, and flowers that become more impressive every single week. As growers, it's easy to compare plants. The real joy comes from appreciating each one for what it is, not for what we expected it to become. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting from above, Lumiflora for helping every lower flower receive the light it deserves, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make every update even more rewarding. Small in stature. Beautiful in structure. And proving, one week at a time, that every phenotype deserves the chance to shine. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Bit more eventful of a week this one. Just going about my normal business when I was checking them over making sure all sex organs were female. Noticed that something seemed amiss. I took me a bit to figure out why one of my girls hermie’d, but a bit of thinking back brought something to the forefront. I had not had the 3rd and 4th pieces of shelving, and since I had the shelving upside down, I had to balance them on the edge with a piece of wood. I had rearranged my plants after watering, and did not make sure each one was steady, when I went to open my tent on probably day 27 or 28, i saw one of my babies had fallen off the shelf and was crushed up against the wall of the tent at a 45 degree angle! I was like NOOOO sunflower not you!!! So at least I know why the darn thing did what it did. I removed it from the others as soon as I noticed. Wanting to see the root structure I chopped it at the base of its stalk. The whole pot had very healthy roots so that was good to see. Was still having trouble with the plants seeming to reject the cal-mag and other nutes I was giving it. Only had pool ph strips. Yakno, the ones that only have a range down to 6.2….. More on that next week.

Another week donnnnnnne 💪🏽! Soo yeah the stretch has finished and the buds are stacking I fucked up a little at the start of the week, i set the lights to full power. She’s at 300watts. I turn the timer down to 11hours. But I didn’t realise it turned the timer off by mistake 😬 she ran 24 hours a day for two days 😫. I hope she don’t get pissy with me but so far so good. A part from that there noting to report on. No nutes this week just water. Until next week let’s get it 💪🏽!

I think I’m a little short on nitrogen, busy to fix the problem. Kings and Dj’s gold doing well, only have the problem with the Barney’s. The color is not dark green but getting whiter. Curly top leaves but soft, not to dry not to whet. Start giving plagron alga bloom sinds today 25% more then the alga grow.

End of the first official week of rooting for these WalkerBerry OG cuts. We’re down to 6 plants and 2 specimens of each. It’s been 4 days since initial cutting and they’re already showing small signs of rooting. I’ve had nothing but success with this little home made aerocloner for years and it’s just so much easier and less hassle than all the humidity domes and mats etc. nothing against it - I’m just lazy and all that stuff is a pain in the ass. As of now - all the leaves on the cuts have started to ball up in confusion as they shift focus to more root creation. They want to flower but know they can’t so I expect to see re-vegetation in another few days. After that we’ll probably have to look at some sort of impromptu dwc system as this container likely can’t take even half of em through full term through pollination. We’ll look to re-initiate flower as soon as they’ve got some decent developed root growth. Alls good here👍. ***update - all clones showing good root growth in only 7 days. Upping to a full Rez in a couple days.

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Tropicana Cookies by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for the outstanding, award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Tropicana Cookies Auto: I'll be running Tropicana Cookies Autoflower which is a 60/40 Indica/Sativa Hybrid. "Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500 gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110 cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. You can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrus and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more."* *References: GrowAce.com, 2fast4buds.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •DL Wholesale Root Royale Coco Lite 70/30 coco/perlite •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 10/8- Here we go into Week One of veg for these girls. Unfortunately, all three are yellowing, showing signs of deficiency already. I'll continue to monitor them for any changes. I think the cause was they were in their peat pellets getting straight water, then when transplanted into their 5g pots which were pre-moistened with straight well water that was ph'd to 6.2 but had zero nutrients. They have now received one feeding and will get another in 2-3 days which I hope will help to bring their color back. 10/10- All three Tropicana Cookies are still not where I'd like them to be. I'll give them another feed tomorrow and see if that helps. They are so small and young at this point that I don't want to feed more often until I know that their roots are developed a bit more. 10/12- Today I fed the girls with a 10min. fill cycle, during which I monitored the moisture level of the medium via a soil hydrometer, then drained the system. 10/14- There goes the first week for the Tropicana Cookies and honestly, it could have been better. With this being my first attempt at 'Hydro' I fully expected to have a few hiccups along the way and this is just one of those that I will learn from and move forward! See you next week fam! ❤️❤️❤️ 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

Chopped the stump, had about 9g wet & dry a bit over 2g. Plant B is still a week behind but filling in nicely. Hoping for a oz but time will tell. Still a bit of powdery mold but only seen it on one leaf. Cut it off immediately so far so good with the rest.

I've been lollipopping the plant. Things are looking and smelling good. I'm trying to maximize the vertical space of my grow room and I think I'm almost at the right height. I've been keeping the light going at 75% (of 1000w) instead of 50%, which apparently I can get away with in the winter.
