Passion Fruitz By Zamnesia
๐Ÿ‘ Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia Week 11 | The Solo Survivor Is Still Writing Her Own Story ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And our solo survivor... is looking absolutely beautiful. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ This girl continues to do something that she's been doing from the very beginning: She takes her time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ No rushing. No panic. No sudden sprint toward the finish line. Just Passion Fruitz... moving at Passion Fruitz speed. And honestly? I'm completely fine with it. Because although she isn't racing through the flowering process, she is developing beautifully. She's green. She's healthy-looking. She's building flowers. She's covered in beautiful white pistils. She's producing resin. She's filling her space. And every time I look at her, I see another little sign that she's continuing to move forward. Slowly. Steadily. Beautifully. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ So this week... let's give our solo survivor the spotlight she deserves. 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 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's something special about having a single representative of a genetic line in a room like this. When you have multiple phenotypes from the same genetic family, you can compare them. You can look at differences. You can see how they express themselves side by side. But with Passion Fruitz... this girl is our solo survivor. There's nobody else in the room telling her story for comparison. So everything she shows us becomes part of her own individual identity. And what an identity she's developing. She's been the slow girl. The patient girl. The girl who looked at everyone else rushing into flowering and basically said: "Yeah... I'll get there when I get there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ And now? She's there. She's flowering beautifully. She's just doing it on her own schedule. 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 SLOW DOESN'T MEAN STOPPED 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 probably the biggest thing I want to highlight this week. She's slow. But she's absolutely not stopped. There's a difference. And I think the photographs show that really well. Look at those flowers. Look at the amount of fresh, bright white pistils. Look at the new floral growth developing around them. Look at the resin beginning to cover the surrounding structures. She's moving. She's just not moving at the same pace as some of the other girls in the room. And that's okay. Actually... it's fascinating. Because one of the easiest mistakes we can make as growers is assuming that every plant should follow the same calendar. Week 10. Week 11. Week 12. And we expect every plant to look exactly like the textbook picture for that week. But plants don't read calendars. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“…๐ŸŒฟ Genetics have their own rhythm. And Passion Fruitz has made her rhythm very clear. She's taking her time. And she's doing it 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”€ ? WHITE PISTILS EVERYWHERE 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 first thing that really catches my eye in these photographs is the pistils. So many beautiful white hairs. They're reaching out in every direction. Almost like tiny little flags saying: "Yes, we're still working." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And that's actually one of the most interesting things about photographing her right now. She's not giving us a massive visual change in terms of pistils suddenly turning brown and retreating. Instead, we're seeing continued fresh growth. New white pistils. New floral development. More structure. More resin. It's almost as if she's extending the flowering chapter rather than rushing toward the final pages. And I'm perfectly happy to keep reading. ๐Ÿ“–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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ TWO MORE STACKS FOR OUR SOLO GIRL 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... we had to get some macro photography. Because when a plant is moving slowly, photography becomes even more valuable. Why? Because sometimes the changes are so gradual that you don't notice them with your eyes. You walk into the room every day. You see the same girl. She looks beautiful. You walk away. Then you photograph her. And later, you put the images beside the photographs from previous weeks. Suddenly... you see the evolution. That's what I love about stacked macro photography. It freezes these tiny moments in time. And these two stacks give us another little window into what Passion Fruitz is doing. ๐ŸŒธ White pistils. ๐ŸŒฟ Green floral structures. ๐Ÿ’Ž Increasing resin coverage. ๐Ÿ‘ More definition. And most importantly... continued development. She may be slow. But she's definitely not standing still. 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 SHE'S STILL FILLING HER SPACE 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 thing I really like about her this week is the way she's continuing to occupy her space. She's not suddenly exploding upward. She's not doing some crazy stretch. She's simply continuing to develop the architecture she's already built. And that's where the tucks come in. Because this week we did a couple of tucks with her. Nothing dramatic. Just helping guide some of that growth and keep her developing comfortably within the space she's been given. And honestly... I really like seeing the difference. A small adjustment here. A little tuck there. And suddenly you can see how the plant's structure is being encouraged to make better use of the available space. It's another example of how sometimes you don't need to do something dramatic. A little guidance. Then let her continue. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‹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”€ ? A FEW TUCKS โ€“ AND BACK TO LETTING HER WORK 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 tucks were probably the most physical interaction we had with her this week. And that's about it. We're not trying to completely reshape her. We're not trying to force her into a different phenotype. We're simply helping guide what she's already doing. Because I think that's important with this girl. She already has her own rhythm. She's already showing us how she wants to grow. So rather than fighting that... we work with it. That's the whole philosophy. Observe. Understand. Guide when necessary. Then step back. And let the plant do what the plant does. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Passion Fruitz doesn't need us constantly standing over her. She just needs the space to continue being Passion Fruitz. 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‘ HER RHYTHM IS HER RHYTHM 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've said this before... but I think it becomes more important every week. She's slow. And I'm okay with that. Because if she were racing toward the finish line and looking unhappy, that would be a completely different story. But that's not what we're seeing. We're seeing a beautiful plant. Healthy-looking foliage. Strong flowering development. Plenty of fresh pistils. Increasing resin. And a plant that continues to progress. Just... slowly. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's basically walking while everybody else is jogging. And she's somehow still making it look elegant. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘ That's Passion Fruitz. 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 THE SAME PHOTONS โ€“ HER OWN 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... nothing has changed specifically for her. She's still living in the same 8ร—8 environment. Same room. Same lighting philosophy. Same general irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Same environmental conditions. And yet... she continues to give us her own expression. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are now part of the room. We've reduced the output to approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug giving us around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity changing according to plant height and position. And Passion Fruitz is catching those photons just like everybody else. Her large leaves are intercepting light. Her flowering structures are developing within that illuminated space. And the plant is turning all of that captured energy into continued growth. The photons don't know she's the slow girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก They just arrive. She decides what to do with them. 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 LIGHTING CAPACITY โ€“ NOT MORE WASTE 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 really like what the additional Future of Grow fixtures have brought to this room. We're not running everything at maximum simply because we can. That's not the point. The point is having more capacity. More flexibility. More ability to distribute useful light across this enormous canopy. And then controlling the output to where we actually want it. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And that gives the girls plenty to work with. Passion Fruitz included. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this setup in the 8ร—8 Adventure. It's been a really interesting addition to the project. 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 SHE'S NOT RUSHING THE FINISH 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 where I think her story gets particularly interesting. We're seeing lots of beautiful white pistils. But we're not seeing a huge rush toward brown pistils yet. And that's okay. It actually reinforces everything we've been saying about her. She's on her own timetable. Some girls are further along visually. Some are showing more obvious signs of advancing maturity. Passion Fruitz? She's still producing. Still reaching. Still developing. Still building. It's almost like she's saying: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ And you know what? She's right. Why rush? We're here to observe the plant. Not force the plant to follow our preferred calendar. 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 THIS IS WHY PHENOTYPES ARE SO INTERESTING 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 one of the most valuable lessons from the 8ร—8 Adventure. We can create a shared environment. We can provide a consistent foundation. We can keep the room stable. We can provide the same general lighting strategy. We can keep the irrigation and nutrition consistent. And then... the plants tell us who they are. Passion Fruitz is telling us: "I like my own pace." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ And honestly... I respect it. She's not trying to copy the girls around her. She's not trying to catch up. She's simply expressing herself. That's what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Same stage. Different timing. Same photons. Different response. Same room. Different story. And Passion Fruitz has one of the more patient stories in this entire room. 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 FEEDING โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME UPDATE 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 nutrition has also been updated along with the rest of the room. Current flowering nutrition: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values are approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.02 โšก EC โ€“ 2.14 mS/cm And again... she's responding beautifully. No need to invent a different story just because she's moving slowly. She's growing. She's flowering. She's building. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. And she's continuing forward. Consistency remains the name of the game. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS 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 room remains stable around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h And once again... these numbers are only the framework. The real story is what Passion Fruitz does inside that framework. And she's doing something beautiful. 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”€ ๐Ÿ’จ LET HER WORK 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 probably the biggest theme of this week's report. Let her work. We've given her the environment. We've made the necessary adjustments. We've added the lighting capacity. We've adjusted the nutrition. We've made a few gentle tucks. And now? Back to observation. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Because there is nothing wrong with slow. Slow can be beautiful. Slow can be detailed. Slow can be incredibly rewarding. And sometimes the plants that make you wait the longest are the ones that make you appreciate the journey the most. 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ƒ THAT BEAUTIFUL CANOPY 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 I can't talk about Passion Fruitz without mentioning those leaves again. Look at them. Big. Deep green. Beautifully structured. And covered in their own little world of trichomes. They're still doing their job. They're still capturing photons. They're still supporting the developing flowers. And they're still giving this plant that incredibly lush appearance. When you look at her from a distance, she looks substantial. When you get closer... she becomes a completely different story. And then you put the macro lens on her... and suddenly you're looking at another universe. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฟ That's why I never get tired of photographing these girls. 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 STORY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS 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 two stacks this week are another little piece of the puzzle. They're not necessarily meant to show some dramatic transformation. They're meant to document where she is now. This moment. This stage. This version of Passion Fruitz. The beautiful white pistils. The resin. The floral structures. The green. The details. Then next week... we'll compare. And maybe we'll see a few more pistils changing. Maybe we'll see more swelling. Maybe more resin. Maybe something completely unexpected. That's the fun. We don't know. We're documenting the journey as it happens. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 SPOTLIGHT STILL BELONGS TO 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”€ The 8ร—8 has a lot of personalities. But this girl has something special. She's the slow one. She's the patient one. She's the one who spent so long making us wait. And now... she's becoming one of the most beautiful girls to watch. She's not shouting for attention. She's not trying to dominate the room. She just quietly keeps developing. And somehow... that's making me pay even more attention. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ She doesn't need to rush. She doesn't need to compete. She just needs to keep being herself. And right now... herself looks absolutely fantastic. 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'S NEXT FOR OUR SOLO SURVIVOR? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ More flowers. More resin. More development. More photography. And probably... more patience. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ We're going to keep watching those pistils. We're going to keep watching the flowers develop. We're going to watch how the structure changes. And we're going to let her decide when she's ready to move into the next chapter. No artificial deadline. No pressure. Just observation. Because she's already shown us that her rhythm is different. And that's okay. Actually... it's one of the things that makes her story worth following. 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€“ SLOW, BEAUTIFUL, AND COMPLETELY 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”€ Week 11. And our Passion Fruitz solo survivor is looking absolutely beautiful. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ She's still moving slowly. She's still showing plenty of fresh white pistils. She's not rushing into a dramatic finish. She's not suddenly covered in brown hairs. And that's perfectly okay. Because she is progressing. Beautifully. Her flowers are developing. Her resin is increasing. Her leaves are still gorgeous. Her structure continues to evolve. And after a couple of gentle tucks, she's making even better use of the space around her. The room is the same. The environment is the same. The lighting is the same upgraded system. The nutrition has been increased. The photons are flying. And Passion Fruitz is doing what Passion Fruitz does. Taking everything... and moving at her own rhythm. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ She's our solo survivor. She's our patient girl. She's our slow-motion Queen. And she's absolutely beautiful. So let's not rush her. Let's not compare her against somebody else's calendar. Let's simply watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's enjoy. Because sometimes the most beautiful part of growing isn't watching a plant race toward the finish line. Sometimes it's watching her take the scenic route. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘ And Passion Fruitz? She's definitely taking the scenic route. 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™ 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, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these stories with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Passion Fruitz genetics and for giving us this beautiful solo survivor to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment consistent behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This adventure continues to teach me something every single week. Twelve plants. One shared environment. One jungle. And completely different personalities. And Passion Fruitz? She's proving that slow doesn't mean boring. Slow can be beautiful. Slow can be fascinating. Slow can make you stop and look a little closer. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž So let's give our solo survivor the spotlight again. Let's let her shine. Let's let her move at her own rhythm. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because I have a feeling... she's still got plenty of story left to tell. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where some girls race, some girls cruise, and Passion Fruitz? She's taking the scenic route. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‘

Hello. This is the start of week 1 of flowering. Just flipped the light over to, 12 1/2 hours on and 11 1/2 hours off. The plant is growing well. No pests this year. Yeah...I had trouble with thrips last year. The next trim up will be before the resin starts between the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

At the beginning of this week I put the plants on 12-12 in terms of feeding I only watered with PH 6 because they have some burnt leaf tips next week I will start flowering feeding.This morning when I opened my tent my fan fell on a plant and it broke a main stem. Hopefully they will survive ๐Ÿ˜ญ

01/04/2022- Hello and welcome all been away on some family matter. So today was the last day this girl got watered and will also be the last day she got light as well, she will be cut down Friday morning. The smell has gotten a lot more stronger since flush was started last week Wednesday. Will update before I chop her down.

Last Obi-Wan girl was left in dark for 3 days and then chopped on day 66 and is now drying. She was definitely the largest of all 4 plants in the tent. Cant wait to see the dry weight on this girl! Next update will be when all the bud is dry and we have a final weight for all 3 together. The first one we chopped only gave us just over 4oz dried but she was half the size as the other 3 girls and kinda lower in the corner. Pulled 7.4oz off the Wedding Cake in the same tent/setup and these last 2 Obi-Wanโ€™s that are still drying are bigger then she was by a lot I think. Cheers ๐Ÿ’จ

The two plants this week look like they are turning green again and the yellowing is going away so I think all is well

Week 4 of flower started on 4/25. Did another moderate defoliation on the larger dark green fan leaves to open the canopy up for more light. Hoping to get bigger buds this go round.

Hi all, sorry for the delay, all continues to go very well, she is handling the nutrients very well wit only a very little tip burn. I increased the light a little bit, as I felt that some of the main colas on the side didn't get enough light. Next week I will probably be able to show the little veg-box I built, since the cuttings are slowly outgrowing their current home.

I believe that this is an incredible strain if you have the option to have more plants. I believe i have around 20 nice grams. I will update once itโ€™s dry.

Yeah nutrients and ppm are not accurate. Itโ€™s close enough, but itโ€™s a rough guess off the top of my head. Iโ€™ll try to take notes right away, that way I can remain accurate. No signs of mold or mildew. No pests or bugs. A few caught in the fly traps but never any visible โ€œfreeโ€ fliers. The cold from the two days really had her looking sad and definitely upset her momentum. But now that the heater is back, sheโ€™s not freezing with a low of 50F and high of 68F. Within an hour or so of raising the temp back to 70+ (I went straight to 78F) she was looking way better, leaves peeking back up. Lights are down at 30% for the night before going completely off for 4 hours. Iโ€™d say 30% for 4 Hours, then OFF for 4, then lights back on at 30% for another 2 and then back to 60% for the remaining time. Im doing this because my Golden Goat pheno is showing increased levels of magnesium deficiency when the intensity is higher. Does that make sense? Maybe the pheno doesnโ€™t like the high UV LED lights? The Blueberry S1 and Mandarine XL as well as the little Critical Purple auto are all managing the light fine. Except I did notice a subtle magnesium deficiency in the MXL at one point, in a few leaves. Maybe the plants would benefit from a larger vascular system?? The Blueberry S1 is just jamming! But Iโ€™m upping the CalMag in everyone to help mitigate the delay in the magnesium. YES I could give more Epsom Salt. But a moderately heavy stack of Epsom Salts with a pH of 7, on top of a pH7 foliar feed of Epsom Salt, to immediately see continued signs develop towards a deficiency suggests another element at play. Maybe itโ€™s still not enough Epsom salts?โ€ฆ Or: maybe something to do with the light is creating a high demand for magnesium and thus, the output outweighs the input. Either way, Iโ€™m going to be upping the Calcium input to build a bigger vascular system to hopefully solve this dilemma. Itโ€™s only noticeable in the GoldenGoat pheno. Barely visible in the MXL and only in one or two leaves total. Whereas the GoldenGoat has every leaf that hits 40-60% maturity develops a small indication of magnesium deficiency, yet it never progresses. Anyways, the Mandarine XL Auto is cruising along just fine. Also I like the anthocyanins coming out in some leaves. Although I attribute that to the high UVs.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. I think, after this week, I'll "not" close the tent at night. I've read that around the 50th degree latitude a plant will stay in flower if it is kept in dark for 3 weeks and put out after the summer solstice June 21st. As long as the light is getting less at night the plants will stay in flowering... So, 1 week to go and I'll leave the tent open. The buds are bulking up now. Smells like tropical skunk in and around the greenhouse. Won a runner up prize in a Ganja Farmers photo contest and for my prize I'll get, 3 seeds of Kush Mints, 3 of Animal Cookies and 3 of Gorilla Gelato. 2 mostly indica and 1 hybrid. Seed descriptions said they are strong. Oh Boy... OK. Be Cool. Chuck.
