Gary Payton โ€“ Flowering Day 35 | Week 5 ๐ŸŒฟ Day 35 of Flowering โ€“ October 25, 2026 Another week down, and the Gary Payton girls are progressing nicely! This week, we made two important upgrades to the grow setup. First, we installed 60W of under-canopy LED lighting (4 ร— 15W) to provide additional light to the lower buds and improve light distribution beneath the dense canopy. Second, we upgraded to a more powerful dehumidifier, now positioned outside the tent. This frees up valuable space inside and should help us maintain better humidity control as the flowers continue to develop. The main LED is now running at 80%, as 100% turned out to be too much light for the plants. With the additional under-canopy lighting, weโ€™re aiming for a more balanced light distribution throughout the entire canopy rather than simply pushing maximum intensity from above. The AutoPot and BioTabs system continues to work well. Each plant is currently consuming approximately 3 liters of water every 24 hours, bringing our total daily water consumption to around 6 liters for both plants. Water uptake remains strong as the plants continue developing their flowers. Bud development is looking good, with plenty of promising colas and flowers gradually gaining size and density. Weโ€™ve removed a few yellowing older leaves and are keeping an eye on the foliage, but overall the plants are progressing steadily. Weโ€™re now entering the second half of flowering, with approximately 4โ€“5 weeks still to go. The focus from here on is healthy bud development, balanced lighting, stable environmental conditions, and keeping the plants healthy all the way to harvest. Letโ€™s see what the additional lighting can do over the coming weeks! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. ๐Ÿ™ The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- Thanks for reading growmies! ๐Ÿ‘Š ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

Week 1 is going fine. I am going to grow this out to 3 feet and flip it under a trellis net. Apparently, Mos Cutty genetics are supposed to be fire. We had some stretch, but that was taken care of by adding more soil to the container. 10-11 Something I will go over in each of the grows is exactly what I use and exact amounts and ppmโ€™s. Most of the time that I read other grows, it isnโ€™t specific enough to mimic ( organically speaking). In the container ( 1 gallon): Whatโ€™s inside the container exactly: 1: 1 Tablespoon 2-2-2 By Dr Earth 2. 2 Tablespoons earth worm castings 3. 3 Tablespoons Charcoal 4. 1/8 tsp recharge ( yes, I added it as dry amendment) 5. Mother Earth Soil

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The trichomes on both phenoโ€™s are insane, super dense buds too. The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I dosed down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm. The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots). Both plant smell super super sweet, not really blueberry (yet) though.

Hi Growmies es vergingen noch 7 Tage bis ich Ernten konnte ich lieรŸ die Pflanze komplett austrocknen nachdem ich sie ein letztes Mal gegossen habe mit klaren Wasser. Leider ging es mir gesundheitlich nicht gut weshalb ich kaum Bilder gemacht habe und nicht richtig trimming. Werde noch Bilder den Blรผten und Rauch bericht machen. Ich bedanke mich bei Hy-Pro und Superstrainsseeds fรผr die collaboration sowie Mรถglichkeit zum testen โค๏ธ The future is green ๐Ÿ’š

everything is fine, the rains have stopped and it seems that the plants are quite mature, I think I will harvest them next week. It has been 2 weeks without watering with fertilizer, making the washing of roots as natural as possible. They have developed a very beautiful purple color in just 2 weeks, because of the stress caused by the cold. I have also found some worm and some rotten bud but usually it is holding very well. I found a leaf of a very powerful pink color, much more than I had ever seen, and that color is not repeated throughout the plant, I leave some photos. chekit

๐Ÿ‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia ๐ŸŒฟ The Slow Girl Is Still One Of The Most Beautiful ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our beautiful Passion Fruitz solo survivor. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ And honestly... this girl continues to make me smile. She's still one of the slowest girls in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is no point trying to hide it. While some of the other girls are racing toward the final chapters, Passion Fruitz is still taking her time. But here's the funny thing... She's also still one of the most beautiful plants in the entire room. And that makes it very difficult to complain about her speed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's the right size. Not too small. Not too big. Easy to manage. Beautifully proportioned. Deep green. Covered in those beautiful fresh white hairs. And continuing to grow. That's the important part. She's not stuck. She's not struggling. She's not sitting there doing nothing. She's growing. She's developing. She's simply doing it at Passion Fruitz speed. And honestly? I'm completely okay with that. So... let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธโœจ 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 13 โ€“ STILL SLOW, STILL STUNNING Passion Fruitz remains one of the slower girls in the 8ร—8. But when I look at her... I don't see "slow." I see a beautiful plant continuing to develop. She's maintaining that gorgeous deep green colour. She's producing fresh white pistils. She's continuing to build her flowering structures. She's growing. She's becoming more defined. And she's doing it without becoming difficult to manage. That's actually something I really appreciate about her. She's not a giant. She's not trying to take over the tent. She's not demanding half the room. She's simply sitting there... looking beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ The perfect middle ground. Not small. Not huge. Just... right. 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 CONTINUES This girl has become such an interesting part of the 8ร—8 Adventure. She's our solo survivor. She's the girl who refused to follow the timetable. She's the girl who watched everybody else start moving faster and basically said: "Relax. I'll get there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ And week after week... she proves the point. She's still among the slowest. But she's also still among the most beautiful. And that combination makes her fascinating. Because it reminds us that speed isn't everything. A plant doesn't have to be the fastest to be successful. She doesn't have to be the biggest. She doesn't have to have the most developed flowers at this exact moment. She's simply progressing. And she's progressing beautifully. 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 THOSE WHITE HAIRS ARE EVERYWHERE One of the first things that catches my eye every time I look at her is those beautiful white pistils. They're still fresh. Still prominent. Still reaching out from those developing floral sites. And they give her flowers such a beautiful appearance. She's still very much in that stage where the plant is telling us: "I'm still building." And that's perfectly fine. Yes... I'd love to see a little more bud development by now. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not going to lie. I look at her and think: "Come on, girl... give me a little more!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ But then I look again... and realize: She's still growing. She's still producing. She's still developing. So perhaps that's exactly what she's supposed to be doing. 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 MAYBE SHE'S JUST NOT DONE GROWING YET This is the part that actually makes me excited. Because when I say she's a little behind in flower development, I don't mean she's standing still. Quite the opposite. She's continuing to grow. And that changes the way I look at the situation. Maybe she's simply allocating more of her energy toward continued development right now. Maybe her flowers will accelerate later. Maybe she'll continue at this pace. Maybe she'll surprise us. We don't know. And I'm not going to pretend that I know exactly how her story ends. That's the fun part. We're watching it happen. And Passion Fruitz has already proven that she doesn't care much about our expectations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ So let's see what she decides to do. 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’š DEEP GREEN AND LOOKING BEAUTIFUL Another thing that really stands out this week is the colour. That deep green. Beautiful. Rich. Healthy-looking. And it gives the entire plant such a strong visual presence. She's not a massive plant. She's not covered in gigantic flowers yet. But when you look at her... she has presence. The structure is clean. The foliage is beautiful. The flowers are developing. The white hairs stand out against that deep green. And the whole plant has this very balanced appearance. Honestly... she's just a damn pretty plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ Sometimes that's enough. 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 THE PERFECT SIZE And I have to give her credit for something else... She's easy to manage. This is something that can get overlooked when we talk about big plants and huge canopies. Bigger isn't automatically better. Sometimes having a plant that's simply the right size is fantastic. She's not too tall. She's not too wide. She's not trying to invade the neighbours. She's not creating a management nightmare. She's simply occupying her space. And that makes her very easy to appreciate. She's a beautiful, manageable plant with a very pleasant structure. And in a room with some absolute monsters... that's actually refreshing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ 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 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL COMING Would I like to see bigger flowers already? Absolutely. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But I'm not worried. Because the flowering sites are there. The pistils are there. The structure is developing. And the plant is still growing. So instead of looking at her and saying: "Why isn't she further ahead?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Okay... what is she going to do next?" That's a much more interesting question. Because if there's one thing Passion Fruitz has taught us... it's patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's making us wait. And I'm happy to wait if the result is another beautiful chapter in this 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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE SHOWING THE DETAILS And this week's photographs really help show her character. The full-plant images show that beautiful, balanced structure. The wider shots show how comfortably she sits within the room. And then the close-ups... that's where she really shines. The white pistils. The developing flowers. The deep green leaves. The little details throughout the canopy. And even around the lower part of the plant, you can see the natural progression of older material closer to the substrate. That's part of the story too. A plant isn't only the top of the canopy. There's a whole structure underneath. And when you photograph the entire plant... you start seeing the complete picture. 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 DOWN NEAR THE SOIL โ€“ THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANT I particularly like having those lower photographs because they remind us that the plant has an entire world happening below the obvious flowers. Closer to the substrate, you can see the older parts of the plant and the lower structure developing naturally. There's something strangely beautiful about that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ We spend so much time photographing flowers that it's easy to forget the foundation holding everything above them. The stem. The lower branches. The root-zone area. The transition between the plant and the substrate. It's all part of the same organism. And Passion Fruitz has built herself a beautiful foundation. 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 BEAUTIFUL ROOT-ZONE EXPRESSION And yes... I'm also really liking what we're seeing around the root-zone area. You can get glimpses of that lower structure and the plant's connection with the substrate. It's another reminder that what we're looking at above the soil is only half the story. The visible plant is the result. The root system is part of the engine. And while we can't see the entire root system through the pot, those visible details around the lower stem give us another little window into what's happening down there. It's one of those details that doesn't always make it into the glamorous flower photographs... but I love documenting it anyway. Because this is a diary. Not just a beauty contest. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“ธ Although... she's definitely winning points in the beauty department. 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 ROOM โ€“ SAME PHOTONS And once again, Passion Fruitz is receiving the same general environment as everybody else in the 8ร—8. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the lighting 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. The photons don't know she's the slow girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ They arrive. She receives them. And she interprets them in her own way. That's the whole point of this experiment. Same room. Same artificial sun. Different genetics. Different response. Different timeline. And Passion Fruitz continues to answer: "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”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHT โ€“ DIFFERENT GENETIC RESPONSE This is one of the things I find fascinating about the 8ร—8. We have increased the lighting capability. We have additional fixtures. We have more available photons. We have control over the output. And yet... Passion Fruitz is still Passion Fruitz. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's not suddenly transforming into the fastest plant in the room. She's still following her own rhythm. And that's exactly what makes this experiment so interesting. The environment gives the plant the opportunity. The genetics decide how that opportunity is expressed. And this girl is expressing herself beautifully... just slowly. 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€“ THE ROOM IS STILL TRANSITIONING As we're moving deeper into the flowering cycle, we're continuing with the gradual nutritional transition we've already started. Terra Bloom remains around: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L with the room around: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm EC The philosophy hasn't changed. We're not suddenly turning everything off because the calendar says we're getting closer. We're watching the plants. We're allowing them to progress. And Passion Fruitz is still very much in development. She's still green. She's still growing. She's still producing fresh pistils. She's still building. So we're continuing to observe her rather than forcing her into somebody else's timeline. 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 GETS THE FINAL VOTE This is becoming more important every week. We can have schedules. We can have expectations. We can have week numbers. We can have feeding charts. But the plant gets the final vote. Passion Fruitz is telling us: "I'm still growing." So... we listen. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's telling us: "I'm still producing fresh white hairs." We listen. She's telling us: "I'm not ready to rush." We listen. And she's telling us: "I'm beautiful." Okay... that one was obvious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟโค๏ธ 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”ฌ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT CLOCK The 8ร—8 experiment continues to prove the same thing. Twelve plants. One room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. And completely different expressions. Some are already looking much further into maturity. Some are changing colour. Some are getting louder. Some are bulking faster. Some are moving slower. And Passion Fruitz? She's still taking the scenic route. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ But she's doing it beautifully. That's her story. And I'm not interested in changing it. 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 THE SLOWEST GIRLS CAN STILL STEAL THE SHOW There's something funny about this plant. She's not the fastest. She's not the biggest. She's not producing the most dramatic flowers in the room. And yet... every time I photograph her... I stop. Because she's beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ The colour. The structure. The white pistils. The balance. The proportions. The way she sits in her space. She's simply pleasing to look at. And sometimes that's what makes a plant memorable. Not necessarily the biggest numbers. Not necessarily the biggest flowers. Just... character. And Passion Fruitz has plenty of it. 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’š DEEP GREEN, BALANCED AND EASY TO LOVE I keep coming back to that deep green. It's one of the things that immediately catches the eye. The foliage creates this beautiful contrast with those fresh white pistils. And because she's not oversized, the whole plant feels balanced. Nothing looks like it's fighting for space. Nothing looks chaotic. She's simply growing. Beautifully. Comfortably. At her own pace. And honestly... that's a lovely place for a plant to be. 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 LOOKING AHEAD โ€“ LET'S SEE WHAT SHE DOES Now comes the interesting part. Because I really want to see what happens next. She's still behind many of the girls in terms of visible flower development. But she's continuing to grow. She's continuing to produce pistils. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. And she's looking better every week. So maybe... the next chapter is where she starts catching up. Or maybe she simply continues doing what she's always done. Slowly. Steadily. Beautifully. Either way... I'm here for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ We're going to keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep documenting. And most importantly... let her be herself. 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€“ STILL SLOW, STILL BEAUTIFUL Week 13. And our Passion Fruitz solo survivor is still doing what she does best. Taking her time. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's still among the slowest plants in the room. But she's also still among the most beautiful. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. She's the right size. Easy to manage. Not too small. Not too big. Beautifully balanced. Deep green. Covered in gorgeous white pistils. Still growing. Still developing. Still showing us new details every week. Yes... I'd love to see a little more flower development already. But I'm not going to complain. Because the fact that she's still growing tells us something important: She's not done. She's still working. She's still building. She's still writing her story. And perhaps that's exactly why she's moving so slowly. Maybe Passion Fruitz simply wants to make sure we don't miss anything. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“ธ And when I look at her photographs... I don't see a plant that's falling behind. I see a plant that's taking her time. There's a difference. The 8ร—8 isn't a race. It's an experiment. And this beautiful girl is giving us another completely different answer. Same room. Same photons. Same environment. Different genetics. Different clock. Different story. And Passion Fruitz's story is becoming one of my favourites. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘ So let's give this beautiful solo survivor the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate those deep greens. Those beautiful white hairs. That balanced structure. That manageable size. Those developing flowers. That beautiful root-zone expression. And let's simply wait. Because something tells me this girl still has a few surprises for us. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ Keep growing, beautiful girl. Keep doing your thing. Keep taking your time. And when you're ready... show us what you've been building. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every damn minute of it. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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 As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share the process week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the Passion Fruitz genetics and for allowing us to follow this beautiful solo survivor through the entire adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout the journey with the growing media and nutrition. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded lighting setup inside the 8ร—8. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve completely different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore this garden as the three-dimensional environment that it really is. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these girls every week. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. You're all part of this adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Passion Fruitz is writing hers slowly. Very slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ But she's writing it beautifully. She's deep green. She's balanced. She's easy to manage. She's covered in beautiful white hairs. She's continuing to grow. And she's proving once again that being slow doesn't mean being less impressive. Sometimes... the slow girl is the one you end up remembering. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's give this beautiful girl the time she deserves. Until next week... Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and keep an eye on our slowest little beauty. Because I have a feeling... she's not finished surprising us yet. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. Where some girls race... some girls fly... and Passion Fruitz? She's still taking the scenic route. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ

WEEK 9A This week, not much really happened. I'm always waiting to have enough space for repotting. Other than that, the two are making a very good impression. They're getting a bit too much light at the moment, but I'm trying to keep it under control.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช 9.2. es bleibt spannend jeder Pheno ist etwas anders am Ende entscheidet welche mir am besten zu sagt aber der Geschmack und das high. Bis dahin mรผssen die nรคchsten 30 Tage weiterhin problemlos verlaufen. Happy growing wir sehen uns in der nรคchsten Woche๐Ÿ’›โœŒ๏ธ 6.2. Tank neu gefรผllt, PK leicht erhรถht. 3.2. den ersten Trieb testweise angebunden die nรคchsten Wochen รผber werd ich vermutliche immer mal wieder einen Paar anbinden bis am Ende sehr wahrscheinlich alle an der Leine hรคngen. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 2.9. It remains exciting; every pheno is slightly different. In the end, it will be the taste and the high that decide which one I like best. Until then, the next 30 days must continue to go smoothly. Happy growing, see you next week! ๐Ÿ’›โœŒ๏ธ 2.6. Tank refilled, PK slightly increased. 2.3. I tied up the first shoot as a test. Over the next few weeks, I'll probably tie up a pair every now and then until, most likely, they'll all be on the line.

I haven't been able to update this for a few weeks and now it's blooming! One has poorly colored leaves, but generally good growth. I've been giving them 2 liters of water every two days and adding PK as well. Is there any problem if I continue to add PK?
