Wir schreiben den 29.9.2026, Tag 1 der Vegi Woche 6. Am Samstag den 26.9.2026 gabโ€™s wie รผblich einen Liter mit FPE, Alfa Boost, Hesi Wurzelkomplex, und etwas SF-Nematoden da die Trauermรผcken Gang ihr Unwesen Treibt. Zusรคtzlich habe ich wieder eine Viertel Tablette BTI im Lauwarmen Wasser gelรถst und dem Wassertank beigemischt. AuรŸerdem hat die Gute noch einen halben Biotab spendiert bekommen. Heute wurde das DIY SCROG Netz installiert. Aktuelle Werte im Zelt: DLI 33 Blatt VPD 1,4 Da ich die nรคchsten Tage beruflich auรŸer Haus bin darf die Lady jetzt noch bis zum Wochenende ein bisschen Wachsen dann wird die Blรผte eingeleitet. Was soll ich sagen, bisher keine Probleme. Alles lรคuft wunderbar

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.

Welcome to my Slurircane Diary sponsored by MSNL. SD 8-9 She's growing as a seedling should. Gonna keep her in the 1.7L pot for a few more days and then I'll uppot to her final veg pot 11L. And then into an 18L for the whole flowering phase. VD1 10th Day. She's on her way, healthy and into veg with no issues, as of yet, as there rarely is with seedlings. Veg Day 1-3 Was going so well. Then, my veg tent, out of 7 of them. I gave 6 (ages from 7wks to 6 days) Mystical Green From Terra Power and look at the damage it cost me in my video. Bad Enzyme Reaction. Nothing I can do but ride it out. All Terra Power products have been Ditched and replaced with Plagron. Its not that, they're bad. I just don't have any of their base nutrients. And I've the full Agla Grow, bloom & other Plagron Products I'll be using for this grow. I've flushed the plant. Added Silic Rock, Power Roots, Alga Grow and sprayed the Leafs With Vita Race "once a wk for VR, and every water for the rest as is suggested. I'm using their pro mix, it's specifically goes best with the Alga Products. If you're using their light mix, I suggest their Terra range. I've also taken Plagron Zyme from the Terra Grow list, as it's an Enzyne for the whole process. And also I added Silic Rock for issues like The Mystical Green Caused, my entire crop, even the baby, so, I know 100% it was MG, and it's meant to be able to be given for the entire grow. I've had it for over a yr. But, she shelf life should of been well in date. Very disappointed. I flushed the 2 1.7L pots. And restarted them on Plagron power Zyme/Roots, Alga Grow & Terpinator "The OG" Diet: Been keeping it on the light side a 3:1:3 ratio. Grow, Bloom, Micro 630-670ppm 5.8-6.1ph. Artios Touch was given. I'm thinking of putting her on a Full Plagron Alga Diet with their light mix..also I'll be getting Terpinator. Something I badly need to improve the taste/terpine profile. I'll also be using Green Sensation/ pure Zyme/ root stim/ Terra Grow&bloom. And mega worm humus. Edited Day 12. Sadly Mystical Green, has caused a nasty reaction in all my girls, I know looks like a def, "it's not, it's in all the girls I gave MG to, even my 6 day old seedling and my girl that just entered Veg Day 3 Day 12, in the video was affected. Everything that got a dose of it did. Except the Frosted Guava, she was given another Enzyme, and was just gonna add it today, so glad I held off. So annoyed. Only the next days will tell if Plagron can save my crop. Decided to start pushing Terpinator, as she's not getting any worse, crisis averted. Vita Race "must be used as foliar spray once a wk" was applied and will be until 3rd week of Flowering. Lights P/SF 1000(s) are been used. For flowering I'll be using an FC4800 "hopefully" along with the IR/UV 45.

5/4 I stupidly watered everything this morning. They were pretty much perfect weight for transplant......then I watered them. Oh well. If that's the worst mistake I make I'll be ecstatic. Went back over and found my 1 gal and 2 of those wierd slanty airports that tapers and holds like a gallon and a half and washed them. I mixed up 12 gallons of soil in a garbage bag and mixed it thoroughly with my gloved hands. It's mixed good. Looking at my plants in sadness thinking, "today could've been the day" and noticed a Special Kush of average size I didn't water that weighed in the 220's. I was happy. I filled the pit arpund a cup before removing it leaving the perfect hole. Mykos and water were poured in. Plant came out of the cup REALLY easy. Suprisingly easy. This wasn't totally dry. I was amazed it came out so easy so I kinda rolled it around looking at the roots. I started lowering it in the hole and I felt something break away but it webt DIRECTLY into the hole made for it. I tucked some soil around it but it was pretty tight from packing it around the empty cup. Didn't take a picture but the plant is fine. That was an average size plant too. So I may have to give some of the strains I popped later a little longer before I transplant. After everything's been transplanted I'll need to change lighting again. I think I'll open the window and use the hps and the l.e.d on the days and nights cThat's these girls won't be hardening off. I so wanna go plant those others but my intuition tells me to wait until morning and it's been serving me well. A couple can stay in cups longer. Not much longer but still. 5/5 Transplanted everything but two this morning into 1 gals with 1/2 happy frog half ocean forest. Mykos and water used during transplant. Found put the l.e.d was on for 24hrs for a while. I made sure the timer switch was ON but it was a different cord plugged in. Oh well. All transplants went perfect. I'm picking up an adapter for the outlet so I can plug the power strip into the timer and only use one timer. I had to hang the 150watt hps back up with the 1,000 watt equivelant 105 true watts. I hope this lighting setup works. Chemdog #4 and One MK Ultra will be transplanted later today or later in the morning. I also opened the shade to the south facing window. Shits getting real. EDรŒT: I FINISHED TRANSPLANTING THE LAST TWO PLANTS AND PICKED UP THE ADAPTER SO I COULD HANG THE HPS NEXT TO THE L.E.D. THEY WERE FIBE WHILE I WAS GONE. EASIEST TRANSPLANTS EVER. THEY ALL LOOKED PERKY AND HAPPY SIX OR SEVEN HOURS POST TRANSPLANT. I OPENED THE CURTAIN TO (SOUTH FACING WINDOW) BUT I MADE SURE THE PLANTS WEREN'T IN THE DIRECT LIGHT. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE. LAST TIME I HAD SEEDLING IN DIRECT LIGHT. I'LL PLAY IT BY EAR BUT IM HAPPY. EDIT 2. Went back over to meditate by the stream and do my qigong. It's 75 and BEAUTIFUL today. The girls will be going out for a few hours on days like this. Anyway when I went in I was surprised to see everything looking nice and happy with praying leaves. Nothing is in direct sunlight but damn that window let's in a lot of light. 5/6 Girls LOVED the transplant! They seem to be all happy. No stress. Easiest transplant I've done. Leaves are praying upwards so I think the lights are approx tje right distance. They'll be going outside soon to harden off. It's been in the 70s but it's rainy now. I'll play it by ear according to weather. I'll continue to monitor lighting and I may lower the hps. 5/7 The soil was super dry when I went over this morning. Everything looked awesome though. I used about a half gallon watering. I don't want to water to run off. I want to keep the nutes IN the soil. It's also easier to fix an undet watered plant than an over watered one. It came out to about a half gaterade bottle on the biggest and half that on the smallest. I'll gradually increase water after I monitor the response. The water sat on the soil for quit a while so they definitely needed it. Looking good so far. 5/8 Soil lookeddry this morning. I think I'm going to up the water. Last time I dod seeds I gave like a pink. Some plants still had a little dampness where I watered that I could see. Others looked dry but happy. I gave the REAL dry bigger ones a small circle around the rootball. Just in case. I'm thinking of lowering the hps slightly so it's at least level with tje L.E.D. That window being open gives tons of light. If u moved them slightly left they'd get DIRECT sun most of the time. I'll be bringing them outside soon to start hardening them off. EDIT: WENT TO CHECK THE GIRLS AT 5 TO MAKE SURE THEY WERENT DRIED OUT. THESE GIRLS ARENT JUST GETTING BIGGER BY THE DAY THEYRE LOOKING BIGGER FROM MORNING TO NIGHT! ITS BEEN RAINING LIKE CRAZY BUT WE WILL HAVE GREAT WEATHER NEXT WEEK AND I'LL BE BRINGING THEM OUTSIDE. I'M SUPER HAPPY WITH GROWTH SO FAR. ILL PROBABLY HST (TOP/FIM) AT THE NEXT NODE. I WANT THEM TO SETTLE IN NICELY BEFORE STRESSING THEM. 5/9 I may have stupidly uploaded doubles of pictures from today. Soil LOOKED real dry. I gave the plants their first real watering. I still went light. Almost a gallon with all plants. I know many say I should be watering to runoff but I want to keep the nutes in the soul as long as I can I don't want to overwater. I always start out careful. Once they show they xan tolerate it I'll increase water next time. This weekend it will be raining but after that we are getting some real good weather and I'll he taking the girls out to begin hardening off. I also need to take a look and top/FIM the plants now that they are settled. Also need to wash grow bags and sanitize outside. 5/10 It's pouring out. Horrible night and morning but this is about cannabis. After the watering ALL the plants shot up in size! Substantially. Leaves are over the sides of containers. I think I'm somewhere close with the watering schedule. I may bring the hps light down a little. I also NEED to start HST. I need to FIM and/or top these girls. Unfortunately I've been dealing with medical problems of my wife so I haven't got to it. If I get some sleep I may do something this morning or in the afternoon.

And we're in the fourth week! This little girl is slowly entering the flowering phase. During the week, she drank a total of 1 liter of water with nutrients (last week of veg) and grew 15 cm. The lamp is now at 75% at a height of 30 cm. In the middle of the week, I defoliated a little. I think that in the middle of the fifth week, I will defoliate a little more, but without overdoing it. The fifth week is just around the corner! Time flies!

Woche 8 ist vorbei. Strawberry banana Auto: buds werden zusehends schwerer, ein gassy stechender erdbeergeruch erfรผllt das Zelt. Sie รผbertreffen die anderen mit ihrem Duft. Die ersten unteren Fรคcherblรคtter vergilben, sie ist im Endspurt. Der Mutant ist etwas schneller als seine Schwester. Og kush Auto: hier sind wir bei beiden Pflanzen recht weit fortgeschritten. Fette buds voller Harz und sรผรŸe, Zitrusfrรผchte, etwas Kiefer und Benzin im Geruch. Die ersten unteren Blรคtter verfรคrben sich ins violette. Purple Punch Auto: Die hintere ist von allen am nรคchsten an der Ernte. Trichome sind รผberwiegend milchig. Denke, in einer Woche ist sie schon fertig.die zweite braucht noch etwas lรคnger. Alles in allem lรคuft es gut. Bis auf trauermรผcken keine insekten.temperatur zw.22 und 26 Grad celsius.lampe auf 95%. Video ist von Tag 53.j Bis nรคchste Woche โœŒ๏ธ

Day 35 - few pics and vids..... everything going along nicely ๐Ÿ‘ This is a pretty big update, so i'll add to it over the next few days, as i finish building it all.... i'm building these 2 x SS haze, the full tent, just finishing up the setup..... trimming them, changing solutions to 12/12 and flower..... changed the exhaust fan and filter setup to the better outside the tent method.... and installed 12v CPU computer fan, lol ("alta9" fits in 4in ducting perfectly), drops wattage on extractor fan.... 10w tops... got a few kg of active carbon and making/replacing the carbon filter .... i'll add afew vids of the new setup in afew days... Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Weโ€™re deep into Week 8, and Blue Banana Cream is stacking up beautifully. Trichomes are looking frosty, covering the buds in a thick, sticky layerโ€”definitely a strain thatโ€™s going to shine post-cure. The aroma has intensified compared to earlier weeks, now pushing out a stronger creamy, fruity scent with a slight gas undertone. Every time I open the tent, it hits harder. The buds are swelling up nicely, transitioning from airy to more mid-compact density. Pistils are still mostly white, meaning itโ€™s got a bit more time before it fully ripens. One thing Iโ€™ve noticedโ€”the branches are starting to lean from the weight, so some light support might be needed to prevent them from bending too much in the final stretch. Iโ€™m keeping temps at 18-20ยฐC and humidity around 55-60% to ensure a proper finish. With harvest around the corner, itโ€™s just about watching those trichomes shift from clear to cloudy/amber and letting this one reach its peak.

Hey guys, I'm in bud heaven right now. Everything is maturing, lots of dense crystal covered buds forming everywhere. The Cinderella 99 is the slowest to flower and is still stretching. Do si dos is in full flower. Beautiful tight resin covered nugs. Going to be a nice early finisher, finishing mid-late September. I am keeping an eye open for mold and mildew. Treating the plants weekly and closely monitoring. The slower flowering plants won't be ready untill mid October. Happy with the results and mother nature so far. Until next week farmers!

August 15th water August 16th nothing August 17th the weather is better so im not sure if i want to leave this plant on the balcony or if i will put her on the roof again, but at the moment in the 15 liter pot shes getting bigger and bigger, so maybe i will just finish this one on the balcony and accommodate the roof better August 18th first 'hairs' appeared ๐Ÿ˜ we also watered August 19th nothing August 20th nothing: but it seems that the plant likes the guanokalong nutrients, no signs of deficiency or overfeeding! August 21th: water

March 10 - 17, 2025 Lots of activity and growth in the tent this week. After resolving two run away events with the Blumat system and the carrots in Anastasia and Carol Anne that I think are finally resolved. Anastasiaโ€™s moisture curve is between 90 - 110 mbar. And the other two are also stable. They are going through about 1/4 of a gravity feed 5 gallon bucket mounted 5 ft above the soil and outside the tent for easy access. I am now mixing a bucket batch with 2.5 gallons of plain RO water ph leveled to 5.8 with an average temperature in the low 60 degrees. I am still using the 10 part - General Hydroponic nutrient line feed chart on week 4+ moderate feed and am mixing into two gallons on RO water with an average temperature of 60ish. Using the following nutrients in the exact order which is important to follow to avoid mixing issues. 2 gallons fresh Reverse Osmosis filtered water with a base zero EC level. Silica = 5ml Calmag = about 4ml General Hydroponics Flora Series 3 part nutrients: FloraMicro = about 11ml FloraGro = about 14ml FloraBloom = about 8ml Additives: - General Hydroponics FloraBlend = a out 10ml - General Hydroponics Floralicious Plus = 3ml - House & Garden HGDPC002 Drip Clean = 8ml Last step is to level ph to 5.8 My nutrient batch ends up at 5.8 ph with an EC level of 2.0 at about 60 degrees f. I then pour the 2 gallon nutrient mix into the 2.5 gallons of plain RO water to dilute the solution per sustainable village blumat system recommendations. The final batch usually requires a final ph spot check and minor adjustments. So far the planned schedule based on a current 4 day depletion rate will be to start with s fresh mixed batch as mentioned above. When the bucket level reaches 3/4 empty i replenish the bucket to 1/2 full using plain RO water ph leveled to 5.8. Then top off the bucket with another 2 gallons of nutrient rich mix as mentioned above. This increases the EC level to about 1.25. Then on the second reservoir depletion I will let the bucket drain to close to the empty level without letting it go dry. After the 2nd replenishment is almost gone i will do a 3 gallon hand watering with a mix of Real Growers Recharge - Mycorrhizae Instant Compost Tea/Soil Microbes mixed into each 1 gallon poured into each pot. This achieves 3 things, the first are the obvious benefits of better nutrient intake. It also allows for a good drain to waste to help flush salt buildups. Lastly it saturates the pot moisture levels down to the low 70-80mbar range and essentially temporarily deactivates the blumat system and prolongs the call for water and nutrients from the reservoir for an extra 12-24 hours until the pots dry out to the blumat carrots calibrated settings of about 110-120 mbar. I will have to adjust as I switch to flower but overall, now that the blumat system is dialed in and I understand it better I find tat it is very effective at keeping the tent environment more stable ad efficient. The plants seem happy as shit and maintain Ing a reservoir with a bi weekly hand watering flush is so much better than my old ways of mixing 2-3 gallon nutrient batches and hand watering/feeding and dry vacuuming it all up every two days is way better and less wastefull and more sustainable. So far It appears it was worth the investment and the test of my time and patience. The week was also full of a few defoliation snd lollipoping with plenty of scrog net low stress training to continue to fill out the canopy. Drizzella (right) is still stealing the show and dominating her presence in the tent with 30-40 potential cola points. Anastasia (left) is smaller than her sister but is responding well to all the LST and defoliation. DD he has significantly less potential cola points, but her fan leaves are larger but also softer or more silky feeling. Carol Anne (middle) continues to be a short stubborn and mesmerizing cultivar. She resembles a head of lettuce and is so strikingly different than her two cousins. I rounded out the week with continued VPD monitoring to maintain about 1 kpa with an average leaf temp offset of -3 degrees. I then pulled the Vivosun Aerolight 150SE led light from my smaller and currently dormant 3x3 tent and installed it in the 3x5 tent. Even though the AC infinity Ionboard is doing the job on its own. I added the second light for better light distribution across the tent as I was getting good DLi levels in the 30s in the middle of the tent but it tapered off to low 20s near the walls. After adding the second light I am now achieving PPFD rates of 500-600 and DLI levels in the low 30s from wall to wall and i think it will make a good impact on growth and a more efficient tent environment as The added circulation from the built in fan on the light, as well as increased heat generated from the lights is demanding less from the heaters.
