So far so good. Lowering the light was a bit of a mistake as the main cola started to show light stress. The main cola is 7" higher than the rest which is a bit of a PITA. I'll be much more aggressive with the LST next time around - comments on how to prevent such a taller main cola are welcome :) I've trimmed about a dozen or so leaves to get more airflow and I moved the LED strips up to support the middle section of the plant, seems to have helped (I think).

This lady is getting massive. I set her sister outside to bask in the darkness she wanted sleep. I'm gonna keep this weeks entry short and sweet. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

Topping appears to be working well. Began some LST via tie down to encourage growth to other branches.

Wir sind jetzt in der Mitte der Blütephase und die AK-47 fängt ordentlich an, Muskeln zu zeigen. Die Trichombildung ist massiv und zieht sich schon weit über die Zuckerblätter – der typische AK-Geruch wird von Tag zu Tag intensiver! Ich habe gerade einen kompletten Wasserwechsel durchgeführt, damit die Lady für den Endspurt frische Nährstoffe (besonders Phosphor und Kalium) zur Verfügung hat. 💧 Wasserparameter (aktuell): • pH-Wert: 5,8 – 6,2 (wird stabilisiert, nachdem die Sonde etwas gezickt hat) • EC-Wert: 1,6 (Ich habe den Wert von 1,8 leicht gesenkt, da die Blattspitzen eine leichte Überdüngung anzeigten) • Wassertemperatur: 19°C – 21°C 🔍 Beobachtungen & Herausforderungen: Die Pflanze war letzte Woche etwas wählerisch. Ich habe bemerkt, dass der EC-Wert gestiegen ist, während der Wasserstand sank – ein klares Zeichen, dass die Nährlösung für ihren aktuellen Durst einen Tick zu stark war. Optisch steht sie super da: ein sattes, tiefes Grün und eine sehr vitale Blütenstruktur. Die ganz leichten "verbrannten Spitzen" an den Blättern nehme ich als Signal, den EC-Wert jetzt bei 1,6 zu halten. Das ist der "Sweet Spot", an dem sie am effizientesten arbeitet, ohne Salzstress zu bekommen. 🛠️ Was diese Woche gemacht wurde: • Reservoir-Wechsel: Komplett frische Nährlösung angesetzt. • Monitoring: Tägliche pH-Kontrolle (aktuell manuell, da der Monitor kalibriert werden muss). • LST/Pflege: Ein paar große Fächerblätter wurden strategisch entfernt, um die Lichtdurchlässigkeit zu den unteren Buds und die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern. Nächstes Ziel: Die Blüten beim Anschwellen beobachten und die Werte stabil halten!

Week 9 and 4th of flower! And holy 👽, we're getting there fast! My girls are growing well and they seem to be taking the nutrients reeeeally well! So once again I'm increasing the strength of Silver PK and White monster! I also noticed something quite interesting... it's only the 4th week of flower and some trichomes are turning amber! That should not be happening unless the lights are too close to the plant or perhaps, this girl is just fast and I should chop her soon? 😱 No idea. I'll probably around and see what people think and if I should do it or not. I trimmed some leaves and for the first time in like ever I did not touch the LST! Anyway, see you all next week! 👋

🍬 Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia | Week 2 Flower 🍬 The Elegant Survivor There are plants that grow fast. There are plants that grow big. And then there are plants that simply have style. Candy Rain is becoming one of those plants. As the only survivor from this seed pack — with the loss of her sister being entirely my own mistake — she has every reason to be remembered as the little plant that almost didn't make it. Instead, she's proving me wrong. Week after week, Candy Rain has continued developing into something I honestly wasn't expecting. She's tall, graceful, incredibly lush, and has developed an elegant structure that is becoming more and more impressive with every update. Beautiful green leaves. Beautiful flowering sites. Beautiful structure. And an attitude that seems to say: "You didn't expect this one, did you?" 😄 Well, Candy Rain... You have my attention now. 🌸 Week 2 Flower – She's Finally Showing Her Character Candy Rain has now entered her second week of flowering, and the transformation is becoming much more obvious. Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has developed a wonderfully vertical and elegant structure. Rather than becoming overly dense or chaotic, her branches have naturally arranged themselves throughout the canopy, creating plenty of space between flowering sites. The flowers are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the plant, with multiple flowering sites already clearly established along the branches. The little flowers from last week are beginning to look much more like proper developing buds now. And the most impressive part? The plant looks incredibly comfortable. The foliage is lush and beautifully green, the leaves are reaching naturally toward the light, and the entire plant has that healthy, energetic appearance that every grower loves to see. She's not fighting her environment. She's enjoying it. 🌿 Plant Development – Elegance Over Everything Candy Rain has developed a very particular personality. She's not a compact little plant trying to hide between the others. She's tall. She's open. She's graceful. She's almost elegant. The earlier Low Stress Training helped establish an open framework, but at this stage I'm mostly allowing her natural growth to speak for itself. Her long branches carry flowering sites beautifully, while the fan leaves remain healthy and functional throughout the plant. Looking at her now, it's almost difficult to believe this is the same plant that started this project so slowly. She has gone from the survivor I was simply happy to keep alive... to a plant that now deserves her own spotlight. And honestly, I couldn't be happier about it. 🍃 A Beautiful Canopy One of the things that really stands out this week is the quality of the foliage. The leaves are a beautiful deep green, with strong structure and excellent development. There is a real elegance to the way they extend from the branches and surround the developing flowers. She's lush without looking messy. She's full without looking overcrowded. And the flowering sites remain visible throughout the structure. That's exactly the kind of development I like to see during this stage. Instead of forcing her into a particular shape, I'm letting Candy Rain show me what her genetics want to do. And so far... I really like what I'm seeing. 💧 Feeding Program Candy Rain continues on the Plagron flowering program. Current feeding includes: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current recorded parameters: pH: 6.0 EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C Watering: approximately 1.25 L per 24 hours She's responding beautifully to the current program. The foliage remains strong and balanced, flowering continues progressing naturally, and there are no obvious signs of nutritional stress in the photos. 🌡️ Environment The flowering environment remains stable: Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% CO₂: 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this project. Candy Rain isn't having to constantly adapt to major environmental changes. Instead, she can simply concentrate on what she needs to do now: grow, stretch, flower, and build. 💡 Light From Above & Below The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the main light source from above, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting is now part of Candy Rain's flowering environment. This combination is particularly interesting with a plant like this. Because Candy Rain has such an open, vertical structure, there are flowering sites positioned at different levels throughout the plant. The coming weeks will be fascinating. I'm especially interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop as flowering progresses and how the additional under-canopy illumination contributes to the overall structure. But as always... I'm not going to make promises before harvest. We'll let the plant tell us. 🍬 Phenotype Thoughts – The Survivor Has Something to Say This is probably the most enjoyable part of this week's update. Candy Rain was never supposed to become the star of this folder. She was simply the one that remained. And now? She's standing there looking absolutely beautiful. Tall. Lush. Healthy. Elegant. Covered in developing flowers. The irony isn't lost on me. I made the mistake that cost her sister her chance in this project. Candy Rain was the one left behind, and instead of letting that define her story, she's completely written her own. This is one of the reasons I love growing. You can have expectations. You can have plans. You can have an idea of which plants will impress you. And then one plant quietly comes along and says: "Watch me." Candy Rain is doing exactly that. 🔭 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should be particularly exciting. The stretch will eventually slow down, and more of her energy will move toward building the flowers that are now developing all across her branches. Those beautiful white pistils should continue multiplying, the flowers should begin gaining more volume, and the plant's final structure will become much easier to judge. I'm also very curious to see how she responds to the combination of the overhead Black Series lighting and Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the flowers continue developing. For now, though, there is absolutely nothing I want to rush. Candy Rain has already taught me that lesson. Give her time. She'll decide what she wants to become. ❤️ Final Thoughts – From Survivor to Showstopper? I started this diary thinking Candy Rain would simply be the plant that survived. Now I'm starting to wonder if she might become something much more memorable. She has gone from a slow beginning to a beautifully structured, tall and elegant flowering plant. And every time I look at her, I find something new to appreciate. The leaves. The structure. The flowering sites. The colour. The way she carries herself. She has become the elegant survivor. And perhaps that's the best part of the whole story. Sometimes the plant you didn't expect anything from becomes the plant you end up watching the closest. Candy Rain... You deserve to shine. 🍬✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these genetics, Plagron for the flowering nutrition program, Future of Grow for the Black Series LED, and Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this adventure. And, of course, a massive thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing the journey with me. Candy Rain may have started this chapter as the solo survivor... but she's certainly not looking like a survivor anymore. She's looking like she belongs here. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Over zealous with my LST and broke a side branch. Have stuck it back in with some cellotape, it's wilting and probably a gonner. Hey ho. Growth is good, I've added another spider farmer sf1000 and it is like light and day. When I turn it off and go back to 1 sf1000 it seems so dark!

Hi people :-) Today the update of the Blue Gelato # 41 🌱. She looks very healthy and vital 👌. It has grown very nicely this week. I only uploaded 2 of the same videos for testing, once in 4 K and once in HD. Since the last videos of the quality were unfortunately not so good when you watched them on the PC. I hope this bug is now fixed, otherwise it is because of my apps etc. Tomorrow there will be a few more pictures, because unfortunately I only came to the videos today. That's a hell of a lot of work that comes with growing, and still work in everyday life 😅. What you don't do for your passion 😍👍 I wish you all a nice start into the new week, let it grow and stay healthy 🤗🙏🏻🌱🍀
