MAC1 F1 HYBRID clones part 3
Hello everyone! Welcome to week 5 of the MAC1 F1 hybrid clone saga (Part 3). She is doing incredibly well and reaching some major milestones. We officially have a root poking its head out from the underside of the pot! It is not a massive root system yet, but she is definitely getting there and establishing her foundation. Because my bottle of Rhizotonic is running dangerously low, I am being extra careful with my supply. This week, we are skipping all additives and running a stripped-down, baseline menu to stretch out what is left. Environmental Metrics & Diet Nutrients CANNA Coco A & B at 2 ml per liter (No additives this week) Feeding Frequency Every 2 days Humidity Consistently above 60% (Thanks to the humidifier) Temperature Swinging gently between 20°C and 25°C Training & Upcoming Plans I have already topped her twice and done some light defoliation to clean things up. Next week, the real evaluation begins. I will be checking to see which branches are strong enough to make it to the top of the canopy. For the lower branches, there is a very strong possibility they are getting the chop. I want to focus all her energy on continuous topping at the upper side because this plant has the potential to become an absolute monster. Frankly, I’m starting to sleep with one eye open just in case she decides to uproot herself and take over the living room. Nothing much else to report on this front, everything is tracking perfectly! Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

1/4/26 1:26 AM. This is me starting a diary accidentally a day too early iced tea had some problems. The cocoa had something in it and the root hit it and it screwed up so I’ve flushed it out. I put another seed in and she’s doing just great. I’ve never had this happen before so I must’ve. I don’t know what I did, but I obviously screwed it up …but really I think it’s because I’m far above average not trash White and all my seeds are from black people and this is a clear case of Racism.😡😂😂😂 I’m gonna write a book about my struggles. I think you’re all gonna really enjoy it.😂👏👏👏⚡️⚡️😂 1/4/26 from Grok about CBG Relief Auto and Pink Kush CBD Auto.... 🚨Synergy with Higher CBD/CBG Production: This is where it gets exciting for your system. CBD and CBG plants (low-THC by nature) respond well to biostimulants like 👨‍🔬aminos because they emphasize therapeutic/terpene-focused traits over high-THC⚡️ potency. Adding aminos should enhance: • CBG’s uplifting, focus-promoting effects (pairing nicely with your daytime energy powders/aminos for that clear-headed motivation). • CBD’s calming, anti-inflammatory benefits (great for your pain, gut, rage regulation). • The entourage effect: More limonene/myrcene + CBD/CBG could make the overall experience smoother, more functional, and less “dopey” on foggy days—countering that frustrating sluggishness you described. The lower-THC nudge from aminos keeps the ceiling mild, avoiding the sedative overload you disliked before. • Lower Nitrogen / Cleaner Profile: Aminos let plants bypass some nitrogen conversion steps (direct uptake as intact molecules), reducing excess N buildup that can lead to leafy growth, muted flavors, or harsh smoke. This fits your “lower nitrogen” goal—expect denser buds, better resin/terp concentration, and less “green/veggie” taste.🚨 1/4/26 2:42AM The tub in 237 is clogged, AGAIN ..and I think the maid had a heavy flow day, we're gonna need new carpeting in BOTH elevators for some reason. And keep the butler out of the dogs room, he'll get carpel tunnel again!! 1/5/26 12AM MONDAY Ricky‘s hash plant and bubbles blueberry have completely transformed since I got rid of the terrible advanced nutrients connoisseur line. I’m not giving them any breaks. They are one star product and I’m done with them. I’m gonna have to top all the plants now they are doing so good. They’ve become so big and bushy. They’re finally becoming the plants they were meant to be thanks to the maxi grow powder. No more burns. Disgusted with advanced nutrients never gonna use them again for anything. 1/5/26 11:20Pm...... Im so good at this, it's all too strong!! They all look great. THE TASTE HAS TOTTALLY CHANGED!!!! PERPETUAL SALAD GARDEN IMPROVED 100 PERCENT!! MAXI POWDER CHANGED THE FLAVOR PROFILE TO WAY WAY BETTER......AN WAS TERRIBLE FOR TASTE. EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING !! 1/6/26 5:32AM NosfurCHURUtu......the cat treat vampire.....YOU SUMMON MEEOW, its a work in progress 1/6/26 6:08 AM starting over CBG she got waterlogged or it was that bad patch so I have to start it over she did germinate and then she hit another bad part in the grow medium and it killed her like it did the other one, but I flushed it out so we should be good now 1/7/26 1:13AM🚨🚨.I asked about light efficiency and Grok said:.... That’s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switch—fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. You’re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimization—lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back this—once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10–20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400–600 µmol/m²/s PPFD (many aim 450–550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600–900 µmol/m²/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600–800) since they don’t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8–12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spot—denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeter—your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods → longer runtime or less depth of discharge → longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) → more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft → better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the drop—aim to stay in the 450–650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10–15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5–10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12–16” between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflow—add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changes—celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If you’re already solar-maxed, consider CO₂ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed space—plants can use 20–30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). You’re engineering a lean, green, high-output system here—solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70–75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documenting—the diary’s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/6/26 5:32AM The ICE T character arc journey!!!!!!! A film by a White man....HA HA HA!!!! 1/7/26 6:10AM...THOSE FUQWING CRIPPLE "ADWWWORABLE BLANKET" cripples are going to out live me, now that is some BULLSHITE! IM ALSO HAVEING ISSUES WITH A LARGE GROUP OF CERTAIN KIND OF PERSONSS...SO I HAD AN IDEA...BUT.....IT TURNS OUT THE GERMANS HAD THE SAME IDEA 80 YEARS AGO...AND I JUST DONT WANT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A COPY CAT. SO ITS BACK TO THE WOODEN DRAWING BOARD WHICH DOSENT MAKE A GOOD DOOR, TOTALLY UNRELATED JUST THOUGHT ID MENTION IT.
Prima volta coltivazione idroponica
Oggi, lunedì 22/01 ho cambiato una 40 ina di litri di soluzione nuova e fresca...ho notato che verso la fine, l'acqua/soluzione era più "limpida" rispetto alla prima ventina di litri ... credo che la pietra porosa con aggiunta di ossigenatore sia stata utile nel secchio "Sistema" per evitare eventuali depositi sul fondo Il problema maggiore è la temperatura stessa ossigenata... è impossibile tenerla a 19/20° senza l'uso di un raffreddatore(Chiller)...costa un botto! Ora è a 21.3 ma sicuramente salirà....di solito è intorno ai 22° ...La luce led dimmerabile è all'80%... È vero che ci saranno le foglie a fare ombra al vaso....ma non so se al 100% ,che metterò ad inizio fioritura e l'abbassero in altezza a 40 cm dalla cima,cosa accadrà alla temperatura,in generale Per ora andiamo avanti e proviamo a risolvere una cosa la volta 😉 Oggi topping o FiMing, vediamo cosa riesce😂 Crescono ma... credo che abbiano preso il Mosaico del tabacco..una malattia che deforma le foglie,si piegano le punte in su e in giù, alcune foglie appunto presentano una specie di mosaico con macchie giallognolo Sembra bene...oggi 2 febbraio defogliazione e da lunedì si passa alle 12 ore..... credo che farò così...o farò poi fatica a gestire le altezze e l'area...ho notato che le foglie e il tronco sono molto più grossi rispetto la terra con lo stesso periodo di 3 settimane piene...
Quieroo cultivarrr!!!! #cultivoninja
Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃
Super Lemon Haze (RDWC /SCrOG)
*english version below* HydroLab – Woche „0“: Der Startschuss zur Blütephase „Bitte anschnallen – die Versuchspflanzen betreten jetzt die reproduktive Phase.“ Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Photosynthese auf Wissenschaft trifft und die Pflanzen mittlerweile besser trainiert sind als mein Rücken. Diese Woche war ein echter System-Meilenstein: Letzte Vegi-Woche, Lichtwechsel, Wasserrevolution, Myko-Spa und Stretchvorbereitungen. 🌞 Licht: Die Blaulichter gehen, die Rotlicht-Ära beginnt Seit Donnerstag herrscht im Zelt 12/12 – offiziell Blütezeit. Die blauen Add-Lites wurden verfahrenstechnisch termininiert und durch rote ersetzt. Die neuen IR-AddLites haben außerdem eine Schlüsselfunktion: Sie laufen in den letzten 15 Minuten wie ein botanisches Sonnenuntergangs-Erlebnis für fortgeschrittene Pflanzenpsychologie. Kurz gesagt: 👉 Die Mädels werden jetzt schlafen geschickt wie Royalität. 💧 Wasserchemie: Die Vollentsalzungsanlage ist online Mission abgeschlossen: Die VE-Anlage wurde installiert, kalibriert und erfolgreich mit Triumphmusik eingeschaltet. Seitdem fließt durch das System: ➡️ EC-neutrales Laborwasser ➡️ pH-Perfect arbeitet wie befreit ➡️ Keine Ca/Mg-Überschüsse, keine Schwankungen Das HydroLab ist nun offiziell ISO-zertifiziert für Wasserreinheit, die selbst Kaffee-Nerds neidisch machen würde. Nährstoffversorgung aufgestockt – die Blüte beginnt ernst zu werden Der EC wurde moderat auf 1,5 angehoben, passend zum Stretch-Start. Zusätzlich zu Micro/Grow/Bloom, B52, Bud Candy und Great White gab es diese Woche:🔥 Bud Blood von Advanced Nutrients Ein kaliumreicher Booster, der laut Hersteller „die Blüte früh zündet“. Im Labor beschreiben wir es anders: 👉 „Molekulare Überzeugungsarbeit, damit die Pflanzen endlich tun, was wir wollen.“ Und es funktioniert. Die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits in der Planungsschleife. 🌱 Wurzelstatus – Mykos am Werk Die Wurzeln sehen aus wie: wuschelig cremig üppig voller Mykorrhiza Ein gesundes Myko-Netz ist immer ein gutes Zeichen – gerade beim Living-RDWC, wo die symbiotischen Organismen jetzt richtig Gas geben. 🕸️ Training: Zweites Netz installiert Das zweite Scrog-Netz wurde feierlich eingezogen. Da wir es hier mit einem fast rein sativischen Stretch-Monster zu tun haben, wird das Netz bald nicht nur genutzt, sondern ausgereizt. Die Spitzen schießen bereits motiviert durch das Gitter. Man könnte sagen: 👉 „Das botanische Volleyballfeld ist eröffnet.“ 🎬 Fazit der Woche Vegi erfolgreich beendet Blüte eingeleitet Licht optimiert Wasser perfektioniert Nährstoffe erweitert Wurzeln traumhaft Stretch: „Hold my beer…“ Das HydroLab ist startklar für eine der spannendsten Phasen überhaupt. Wenn diese SLH so weiter macht, wird das Netz in wenigen Tagen aussehen wie ein explodierter Kräuterteppich. ----------------------------------------------- HydroLab – Week 0: Initiating Bloom Protocol “Please fasten your lab coats — the test subjects have entered reproductive mode.” Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants are trained with more precision than Olympic athletes and the line between botany and madness gets thinner by the day. This week marks a major milestone: the final veg week, the light flip, a water revolution, microbial spa treatments, and preparations for the incoming stretch. 🌞 Lighting Update: Goodbye Blue, Hello Bloom Mode As of Thursday, the system is officially running 12/12 — bloom phase initiated. The blue add-on lights have been politely removed from service, replaced with red spectrum units. Also new: IR AddLites, running during the final 15 minutes of the day to simulate a luxurious sunset for plants that take their circadian rhythm very seriously. In short: 👉 The ladies are now being tucked in like royalty. 💧 Water Chemistry Upgrade: The Deionization Unit Is Online This week, the HydroLab achieved a new level of hydration enlightenment: The deionized water system is fully installed and operational. It now feeds the entire RDWC with: EC-neutral lab-grade water perfectly predictable pH behavior zero unwanted minerals zero drift chaos The HydroLab is now officially certified for water purity that would make a barista weep. Nutrient Program Enhanced — Bloom Mode Engaged The EC was raised moderately to 1.5, just enough to fuel the stretch without cooking the roots. On top of the standard AN trio (Micro / Grow / Bloom) plus B52, Bud Candy, and Great White, the lineup now includes: 🔥 Advanced Nutrients – Bud Blood A bloom initiator designed to say: “Stop messing around and start flowering.” Laboratory interpretation: 👉 “Early-phase hormonal persuasion via potassium-rich diplomacy.” Early pistils are already in preflight mode. 🌱 Root Status Report – Mykos Doing Myko Things The roots look glorious: fluffy creamy vigorous thoroughly colonized by mycorrhiza Living RDWC in full effect — the symbiotic crew is thriving. 🕸️ Training Update: Second Scrog Net Installed The second screen is now in place. Given how sativa-dominant this strain is, the stretch is expected to fill the remaining space very quickly. The tops are already pushing upward with purpose. It looks less like a canopy and more like we’re preparing a botanical trampoline. 🎬 Weekly Conclusion Veg phase complete Bloom officially initiated Lighting optimized Water chemistry perfected Nutrients upgraded Roots looking elite Stretch incoming The HydroLab is entering one of the most exciting phases of the run. If this Super Lemon Haze keeps going like this, the scrog will look like an exploding herbal carpet within days.
Tropicanna Banana & Runtz Muffin Aero
They are both growing nice and steady, so far no problems. The stretch ist moderate, but they are going to fill the netting fully by the end of this week.Allready smelling strong.
Jet Fuel - Zamnesia x B&B
And here we are at the harvest of our second Jet Fuel, a beauty with a jaunty look, flowers with large calyxes, gassy smell is Jet Fuel by Zamnesia. ** Remember that for all the strains we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. This is the plant left to grow without the use of techniques to see the other go to the previous week. The trichomes said cut me: it is a sativa predominance of leather we want to preserve the energizing effect. So guys not too much amber on the sativas I recommend otherwise you transform them into indicas. I see enough at least for my tastes and with respect to the strain, always evaluate not only based on your tastes based on the strain. Don't let the amber rule influence you too much we like to talk about harvest window and therefore we have mostly milky / coudy, some transparent and a good amount of amber as well. Technique used // This plant was left to grow free and beautiful with some cleaning at the bottom and some leaves but at the right time. Better with techniques or normal? This time we have two phenotypes similar in appearance and different in terpene profile, the plant left to grow straight seems to be a little better but they are really very similar. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 9. The plant has resined very well on all sides, it is quite mature, I am satisfied with the color and I harvest it. Buds washed and cleaned as Lukas explains very well on the Zamnesia website, go and read and study the topics in depth, often it is necessary not to act superficially guys! Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers // I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going to flush was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to flush and we are very very well discolored, I predict a very tasty flower, grown organic and flushed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother if you are stubborn use additives listen every now and then....and then come and tell me. Fertilizers on the other hand are found in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. Great strain, I found a citrus/sour pheno and a very gassy one ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11258-zamnesia-jet-fuel-semi.html Zamnesia Description // Jet Fuel (also known as G6, Jet Fuel OG and G6 Kush) is a modern hybrid rich in THC and terpenes with a diesel aroma. Originally created in Colorado by crossing Diesel with Aspen OG, this 60% sativa-dominant hybrid is a must-have for any smoker who enjoys an uplifting and energizing high. Now, thanks to the hard work of our breeders, the original Jet Fuel is even easier to grow at home. Order your seeds, plant them in soil and enjoy their rapid growth. After just 9-10 weeks of flowering, you can expect a generous harvest of top-shelf sativa buds! Jet Fuel produces large buds that contain high levels of terpenes and up to 22% THC. True to its name, Jet Fuel has a pungent diesel aroma, with similar flavors. Trained noses and palates will also detect hints of earth, citrus, and pine. Thanks to its potent THC content, Jet Fuel can deliver a very powerful effect after just one hit, making it perfect for social settings, creativity, and daytime use. After an initial burst of energy that increases focus, Jet Fuel's effects tend to settle, leaving users in a dreamy, positive state. Music and Frequencies // For about 4-6 hours a day, my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies that are specifically designed for their well-being, and sometimes a bit of black music to give them that buzz that only music can provide. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ---- www.zamnesia.com
Candy Rain Auto By Zamnesia
🍬🌿 8×8 Adventure – Harvest Diary Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia 👑 PART 2: THE SOLO SURVIVOR GETS HER STUDIO SESSION! 900 PHOTOS, BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS & A HARVEST WORTH CELEBRATING! 📸💎✂️ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 My friends… OUR CANDY RAIN IS READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP! 🍬👑📸 And believe me, this girl deserves every second of the spotlight. Last week, we said goodbye to our beautiful solo survivor in the growing room. We documented her harvest day, looked back at her journey, and began the transition into the post-harvest chapter. This week, we're taking that story a little further. We're bringing her into the studio, giving her the photographic attention she deserves, getting our hands busy with the trimming scissors, and finally putting some numbers on the table. And what a beautiful result! 🍬🌸💚 Before we get started, a little reminder for anyone joining us for the first time. If you haven't followed Candy Rain's journey from the beginning, I strongly recommend going back through her previous reports. You'll find the details of how she developed, what made her our solo survivor, and how she reached this beautiful harvest. I don't want anyone to miss the story that brought us here! But let's make a quick recap before giving this girl the spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — HOW DID WE GET HERE? Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia has been part of our 8×8 Adventure, a project built around documenting different genetics and individual plant expressions within the same general growing environment. One room. A shared growing environment. Different genetics. Different personalities. And plenty of individual stories! The central experiment has been our 12/12 from seed adventure, where the plants started their journey under a 12/12 light schedule rather than following a conventional vegetative period before flowering. Candy Rain became our beautiful solo survivor in this part of the project. We've followed her through her development, watched her flowers mature, documented her later flowering stages, and eventually reached the moment when she was ready to leave the growing room. And now we're here. From seed to harvest, from the growing room to the studio, and finally to the trimming table. 🍬🌿 If you want to see the full journey, please take a moment to visit her previous diary entries. They're all part of the same story, and I genuinely enjoy having the opportunity to document each chapter rather than simply showing the final result. ──────────────────────── 📸 FIRST STOP: THE STUDIO! Before getting into the trimming, we gave Candy Rain a proper studio session. And I have to say… I absolutely loved this one! We brought her into the studio as a full plant, giving ourselves the opportunity to photograph her overall structure and capture her from different perspectives. Not everything needs to be a macro photograph. Sometimes it's important to step back and appreciate the whole plant, the flowers, their arrangement, and the overall result of the journey. Other times, it's worth getting ridiculously close and exploring the little details. 😂🔬📸 So we did both! We took some wider photographs, some closer shots, and then moved into the macro world. And that's where things got particularly interesting. ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE 900-PHOTO STACK — CANDY RAIN IN ANOTHER DIMENSION! Yes, my friends… NINE HUNDRED PHOTOGRAPHS! 😂😂😂📸 For one of her macro photographs, we created a focus stack using approximately 900 individual frames. That's right. Nine hundred! The idea behind focus stacking is to capture a sequence of photographs at different focus positions and combine the sharp areas into one final image. At macro magnification, the depth of field can be extremely shallow. A single photograph may only show a small portion of the subject in focus. By combining multiple frames, we can reveal much more detail across the final image. And Candy Rain gave us a beautiful subject to work with. For this session, we also played with red backgrounds, creating a different visual atmosphere from some of our previous studio photographs. I really like how this one turned out. The contrast, the colours, the details, and the way the flowers stand out against the background… Beautiful! 🍬❤️📸 It's always satisfying to see hundreds of individual frames come together into one final photograph. And yes, I know what some of you are thinking. Growing a plant for weeks and then spending an entire session taking 900 photographs of her flowers… I might have a little problem. 😂😂😂 But it's a problem I genuinely enjoy! For me, photography is another way of appreciating the plants. It allows us to look beyond the overall appearance and explore the details that we might otherwise overlook. And Candy Rain certainly deserved that extra attention. ──────────────────────── ✂️ TRIMMING TIME — LET'S GET TO WORK! After the studio session, it was time to move on to the trimming table. We started by separating the branches and working over the TrimBin. Each section was handled individually, allowing us to separate the flowers and collect the trimming material as we went. Then came the part that always requires a little patience. One bud at a time. By hand. With normal gloves, care, and a pair of Zamnesia curved scissors with pointed tips. ✂️🌸 No rushing. No throwing everything together. We worked through the flowers individually, giving each one the attention it deserved. I genuinely enjoy this part of the process. Yes, it takes time. Yes, your hands eventually remind you that you've been trimming for quite a while. 😂 But there's something satisfying about working through a harvest and seeing the finished flowers gradually take shape. The TrimBin helps keep the workspace organised and collects the material as we work, while the curved scissors give us the control needed for careful hand trimming. And most importantly, we take our time. Every flower deserves a little love and attention. 🍬💚 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ THE NUMBERS ARE IN! Now, let's talk numbers! Because after all the photography, the studio session, the trimming, and the time spent working through the flowers, it's finally time to put the result on the scale. And Candy Rain gave us: 🌿 Wet flower weight: 925.2 g 🌸 Final dry flower weight: 102.8 g 102.8 grams of dry flowers! Now, I know this isn't what anyone would call an enormous harvest in terms of quantity. But honestly? I'm incredibly happy with it. Because numbers are only one part of the story. The final appearance, the flower quality, the aroma, the flavour, and the overall experience all matter. And this girl has already given us plenty of reasons to smile. 🍬💚 The most important thing is that we have a beautiful final result from a plant that was genuinely enjoyable to follow throughout the adventure. And when it comes to the quality of what she produced… Well, let's just say I have some very positive things to share. But we'll save those details for the smoke review! 😉🌸 ──────────────────────── 💎 A BEAUTIFUL HARVEST — AND A GIRL WORTH REMEMBERING What I particularly appreciate about Candy Rain is that she has given us a complete story. She wasn't just another plant occupying space in the 8×8. She became our solo survivor, and we followed her individually throughout her journey. We watched her develop. We photographed her flowering progress. We brought her into the studio. We explored her flowers through macro photography. We created a 900-frame focus stack. And now we've finished trimming and weighed the final flowers. That's what I love about documenting these adventures. It's not just about the final weight. It's about everything that happened between the first stages of growth and the moment we finally hold the finished flowers in our hands. And Candy Rain has given us a beautiful example of that. 🍬👑🌿 She's been a pleasure to grow, a pleasure to photograph, and a pleasure to work with during the harvest. I'm genuinely happy with what she gave us. ──────────────────────── ⭐ A LITTLE PREVIEW OF OUR FINAL VERDICT I'm not going to get into the full smoke review just yet. That deserves its own report, and I want to give the aroma, flavour, smoothness, and effects the attention they deserve. But I can already tell you that I'm extremely happy with this girl. The taste, the smell, and the overall quality have made a fantastic impression on me. And yes… She's getting a 10/10 from me! 🍬⭐💚 We'll explain exactly why when we sit down for her smoke review. For now, let's simply appreciate the harvest and the beautiful flowers she gave us. ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES Candy Rain's journey is another lovely reminder of what this entire project is about. Different plants, different genetics, and different expressions, all sharing the same general growing environment. Our 12/12 from seed experiment has given us plenty to observe, compare, and document. And every individual diary contributes another piece to the bigger picture. That's why we continue to give each plant her own space. We want to preserve her journey, her photographs, her milestones, and the things that made her special. Candy Rain may have been our solo survivor, but she has certainly earned her place in the 8×8 Adventure. And I'm glad we gave her the opportunity to shine. 🍬🌱💚 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS — OUR SOLO SURVIVOR DESERVES HER CROWN! Well, my friends… Candy Rain Auto by Zamnesia has officially completed another chapter of her journey! We brought her into the studio as a full plant. We captured her from different perspectives. We explored her flowers through macro photography. We created a beautiful 900-photo focus stack with red backgrounds. We separated the branches, worked through the flowers individually, and hand-trimmed everything with care using our Zamnesia curved scissors and TrimBin. And finally, we put the results on the scale. 925.2 g wet flower weight. 102.8 g dry flower weight. 🍬💎🌸 Not an abundance harvest in terms of quantity, perhaps, but a result I'm genuinely happy with. And sometimes, that's exactly what matters. We don't grow just to chase numbers. We grow to enjoy the process, learn something along the way, appreciate the genetics, and hopefully finish with something beautiful. Candy Rain delivered on that experience. She's been a wonderful part of this adventure, and she absolutely deserves her spotlight. So, to our beautiful solo survivor… Thank you for the journey, the photographs, the flowers, and all those reasons to keep coming back with the camera. You did wonderfully! 🍬👑💚 But we're not finished yet. The smoke review is still waiting, and I have a feeling we'll have plenty to talk about when that moment arrives. Stay tuned! ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — TO EVERYONE WHO MAKES THIS ADVENTURE POSSIBLE!

9/7/2021-at the end of the cycle I thought that the flowers get bigger .. nothing to say about the quantity. a strong smell reminiscent of something sweet. the buds are hard and coated with glue. I am washing the roots. ready to harvest up to 2 days again and then cut. Sorry for me traslate 😅

De Daily High Club is niet voor niks even weg geweest, achter de schermen zijn we ontzettend druk bezig om de content van onze members te verzamelen, te bewerken en al het materiaal tot zijn recht te laten komen. Als team zijn we hier ontzettend druk mee bezig maar als club houden we hiervan, we zijn dankbaar dat we samen met jullie de community een stukje leuker en beter te maken. We krijgen alleen maar Love van onze members en we zijn jullie ontzettend dankbaar. Welkom bij de Club! Deze grow is een van de test grows van Yaramang, hij zal onze voornaamste grower zijn. Hij is net als velen van jullie verliefd geraakt op de hobby en we vinden het leuk deze samenwerking te mogen aankondigen met hem. Voor deze Grow hebben we Mephisto Genetics zaadjes besteld (zij zijn 1 van de eerste seedbanks die Autoflower zaden produceerde met ontzettend hoge THC-gehaltes van boven de 20%, wij wilden onze Nederlandse Growers hier wel eens van laten genieten. Autoflowers blijven ontzettend makkelijk en uit ervaring horen we dat wanneer je AF op de juiste manier kweekt je er genoeg groen plezier van zult hebben! Heel veel plezier van de eerste test-grow van Yaramang. Powered by Daily High Club Zoals iedere kweek begin ik met de koffie filter techniek. Ik pak een simpele koffiefilter van de Aldi, (ander merk werkt waarschijnlijk ook) maak deze volledig nat door hem 1 keer heen en weer te halen onder de kaart en doe het zaadje met de punt naar beneden (of iets wat zo veel mogelijk op een punt lijkt, ervaring blijkt dat 25% alsnog verkeer omzit en het zonder problemen overleefd) en vouw de koffiefilter dicht maar niet dat de vouwrand tegen het zaadje aankomt. De filter stop ik in een huishoudzakje die je kunt sluiten en sluit deze voor ongeveer 75% met de koffiefilter erin. Dit zakje leg ik in een donkere doos (zo'n "luxe" schuifdoos van Apple want die is helemaal donker) met de deksel erop en die doe ik in een donkere nachtkastje. Om de temperatuur te meten heb ik een temperatuur meter in hetzelfde doosje gelegd. Om de perfecte geadviseerde temperatuur tussen de 23-26 graden te hebben leg ik mijn Deco (modem) onder de doos zodat het doosje eigenlijk constant de perfecte temperatuur van 25 graden heeft. Na de eerste dag zag ik al een paar witte puntjes verschijnen door eventjes met een lamp door de filter en het zakje heen te kijken en binnen 48 uur zie je al dat de wortel zo'n 1 tot soms wel 3cm al is. Wanneer het witte worteltje ongeveer zo groot is als een vingertop is het tijd om te zaaien.

Flush ended two days before the darkness period. Decided on a 48 darkness periods though some prefer 24 or 72. The darkness did help trichomes reappear at the tops of the canopy. Going for a longer dry of 10 days, best temperatures are 60-70F to preserve the terps with 50-60RH. This has been an amazing experience, definitely putting in more passion into the next run.

На третий день промывки понял, что более готовыми уже не будут. Харвест, обстриг крупные лопухи. на 10 дней в темный вентилируемый бокс с угольным фильтром. Затем взвешу сухой вес и уберу на неделю-другую в стеклянные банки пролечиваться

Working temps up slightly and increase light intensity. Quite please with this quantum board led so far whilst in veg . Nutes upped slightly but bearing in mind I have a little amount of light mix soil at top of pot when rock cubes got put in the bigger pots Still feeding over the top of pot to eatable roots before hooking up the auto pot system . All seems in check so far apart from a little water drip damage on the young leafs from doing a folair sprey in the begging of this run . Still undecided weather to go for topping at the 6th pair of sets and remove the bottom set for my usual 5pairs and top n top or to get them growing on a side ways lean for a lower stress impact throughout the veg . Any thoughts and comments on this would be good regarding what would yeild better

Toujours en rinçages. quelques trichomes bruns sur une tete matures, mais sur des tetes plus basse, on a encore des trichomes transparents, je pense qu'on arrivera à terme la semaine pro !

It's been a good week, the buds are becoming so heavy that they can hardly be kept. I'm just chairing now and waiting another week.

Started the flush on Master Kush 2 about 4 days ago. She has developed some nice frosty, and dense looking buds under the Unit Farm UF2000, and UF4000 lights. Adding a few drop of lemon essential oils during flush. To see difference in taste since I have grown this before. Will add till last few wash outs of substrate. Which i do a gallon of ph water every other day and keep it wet between. I raised the lights to avoid any fox tailing which I experienced in a few others or it started to. Not master kush. 💪🌱. Thank you Unit Farm, and Weed seed Express. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
