Week 2 - Passion Fruitz 🌴🍍🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining this diary for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Most cultivars in this adventure are being documented as individual Pheno A and Pheno B diaries so each expression can be followed separately from seed to harvest. Passion Fruitz is the exception. And that’s entirely my fault. ⸻ A Quick Recap Originally, this cultivar was intended to have two plants like the rest of the project. Unfortunately, during the earliest stages of the run, one seedling never made it past the starting line. Looking back, the most likely cause was overwatering during the initial seedling phase. No excuses. Just a lesson. Growing plants is one of the best teachers of humility because mistakes happen to all of us. The important part is learning from them and moving forward. Fortunately, one Passion Fruitz seedling survived, and what started as a setback is quickly turning into one of the most exciting plants in the room. Sometimes all it takes is one healthy plant to tell the whole story. ⸻ Week 2 Overview The entire 8×8 Adventure continues progressing nicely as the plants move deeper into vegetative growth. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Lighting intensity was gradually increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s as the young plants continue demanding more energy. Watering remained consistent: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Week-ending nutrient values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The entire room continues responding positively to the environment and feeding program. ⸻ Passion Fruitz – The Comeback Story If there is one word that summarizes this plant right now, it would be: Resilient. After losing her sister early, this lone survivor has continued pushing forward week after week. And honestly? She looks fantastic. The structure is clean. The leaves are beautifully formed. The color is rich and healthy. And the overall posture of the plant radiates confidence. This is exactly the kind of growth that makes growers smile when opening the tent each morning. ⸻ Loving the Transplant One thing that became very clear this week is how much this plant appreciated the transplant. Last week’s move into the final container appears to have been received extremely well. Rather than slowing down, the plant responded with renewed vigor and noticeably improved growth. Leaf size increased. New growth accelerated. Overall health improved. The plant simply looks comfortable. And when a plant looks comfortable, growers usually know things are moving in the right direction. ⸻ Mycorrhizae at Work Another encouraging observation is the response following the introduction of mycorrhizal fungi. While we obviously can’t see what’s happening beneath the soil surface, the visible growth above ground suggests that the underground partnership is developing nicely. Mycorrhizae create a relationship between plant roots and beneficial fungi, effectively helping the root system explore a larger volume of substrate. The result can be improved nutrient uptake, better water access, and stronger overall establishment. Again, we can’t directly credit every leaf to the fungi. But we can say this: Passion Fruitz looks incredibly happy. And that’s always a good sign. ⸻ Plant Development This week the plant continued building a balanced and attractive structure. The node spacing remains pleasant. The leaf development is symmetrical. Growth appears consistent from one side of the plant to the other. Unlike some of her wonderfully quirky neighbors, Passion Fruitz seems determined to demonstrate textbook development. Every new set of leaves emerges larger than the last while maintaining healthy shape and color. She may be growing alone, but she certainly doesn’t look lonely. ⸻ The Importance of Keeping Records Because Passion Fruitz is our only representative of this cultivar, I thought this week would be a perfect opportunity to talk about something that often gets overlooked: Documentation. One of the most valuable tools in any grow room isn’t a light. It isn’t a nutrient bottle. It isn’t even a tent. It’s information. A simple calendar and a small whiteboard can become incredibly powerful tools. They help track: • Germination dates • Watering schedules • Feeding schedules • EC and pH changes • Transplant dates • Environmental adjustments • Flowering transitions • Observations and notes When problems appear, records help identify causes. When success happens, records help repeat it. Memory is wonderful. Written notes are better. The larger the project becomes, the more valuable those records become. This is just my personal approach, of course. Everyone should develop the workflow that works best for them. But I genuinely believe that a calendar and a whiteboard are among the most underrated tools in any garden. ⸻ Room Life The room continues operating smoothly and providing a stable environment for growth. This week’s photos also captured some of the everyday details that make documenting a grow enjoyable: • Room-wide views • Equipment monitoring • Environmental management • Nutrient preparation • Water reflections and lighting effects And of course… Mr. Baggy remains employed. Current responsibilities include: • Security patrols • Plant inspections • Morale management • Looking suspiciously important in photographs • Supervising absolutely everything His performance reviews remain excellent. ⸻ Looking Ahead Next week should bring another noticeable jump in size. Expected developments include: • Larger fan leaves • Faster vegetative growth • Increased root establishment • Stronger stem development • More vigorous canopy expansion • Continued adaptation to the final container If the current trend continues, Passion Fruitz could become one of the surprise stars of this entire run. And honestly, she’s already making a very convincing argument. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been a fantastic week for Passion Fruitz. Yes, she began this journey alone after her sister failed to establish. Yes, that was a lesson learned. But sometimes setbacks become part of the story. And this plant is turning that story into something special. Healthy. Vigorous. Balanced. Beautiful. The transplant appears to have been a success. The mycorrhizae seem to be doing their job. And the plant continues rewarding patience with excellent growth. A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all the partners helping make this adventure possible. And as always, thank you to the community. Your support, encouragement, shared experiences, and willingness to learn together are what make these diaries worth creating. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. Growers Love DD 🌴🍍🌱💚

**Week 5 | Godfather OG** Real growth this week — height jumped from 14cm to 33cm. The structure backs it up: strong lateral branching off the main stem, nodes stacking tight, and the canopy is already filling out nicely for this stage. No stretch issues, no leggy growth — she's building a proper frame. Feed has stepped up to match the growth rate: CANNA Aqua Vega now at 3ml/l (up from 1ml/l), CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. EC reading 1.2 mS/cm, pH 6.2. Watering volume bumped accordingly to 1L per plant per 24h with the increased root demand. Outdoor conditions have turned properly summery — day temps hit 35°C this week, nights down to 18°C. That's a big swing and a hot one, but no sign of heat stress on the leaves, no canoeing, no wilt. The native soil integration through the bottomless pot is clearly helping buffer root zone temps and moisture even when the air gets that hot. Humidity sitting at 60%, light schedule now at 17h as days lengthen. Next phase is about keeping pace with this growth rate without letting the heat catch her off guard during the hottest stretch of the day. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Cherry Cola (Auto) - Plante #2 ​Date : 20/04/2026 Âge : 88 jours taille: 43 cm Phase : Fin de floraison / Début du rinçage ​⛺ Environnement de la tente ​Température : 25°C constante. ​Humidité : Maintenue à 50% pour éviter tout risque de moisissure sur les têtes denses. ​Éclairage : Pure LED toujours à 100%, maintenue à 60 cm de la canopée. ​📏 État de la plante ​Taille : Elle a pris 1 cm depuis la dernière fois, elle culmine donc à 43 cm. Elle est restée bien compacte sous le filet. ​Nutrition : Aujourd'hui, elle a reçu son dernier apport nutritif : 4 ml de PK dilués dans 1 litre d'eau avec un pH de 6,3. C'est le dernier "boost" avant de passer à l'eau claire. ​Action : J'ai décidé qu'elle partait en rinçage dès maintenant. ​📝 Descriptif et observations ​La plante est toujours aussi magnifique. Visuellement, on sent qu'elle arrive au bout de son voyage : ​Sénescence : Les grandes feuilles nourricières commencent à bien jaunir, signe qu'elle puise dans ses dernières réserves pour gonfler ses fleurs. ​Trichomes et Résine : Elle est littéralement recouverte d'une couche de résine collante et brillante qui lui donne un aspect givré incroyable. ​Têtes : Les buds sont bien formés et compacts. Les pistils ont bien bruni sur l'ensemble de la canopée. ​Odeur : C'est maintenant très puissant dans la tente. On sent une odeur forte, à la fois très sucrée et épicée. C'est beaucoup plus complexe que la première plante. ​Le choix de passer au rinçage maintenant est judicieux. Avec le jaunissement prononcé des feuilles et la maturité visible des têtes ( trichomesmajoritairementlaiteux .trèspeux d'ambre), deux semaines à l'eau claire vont lui permettre de bien "se nettoyer" et de sublimer ses arômes sucrés et épicés. Contrairement à la plante #1 qui m'avait un peu déçu en production, celle-ci semble avoir des têtes plus denses et mieux réparties sur la structure. La qualité de la résine sur cette génétique est vraiment son point fort, elle brille énormément sous la LED. ​On patiente maintenant jusqu'au cut final ! merci a tous MUSIQUE DIAPO FAST BUD

Still stretching 🙄 but I think she's almost done! I will say, she's exactly the shape I was after, and that main cola is going to be my biggest indoor cola for sure. Exciting times ahead!

Week 9: Late Flowering and Ripening Signs of Maturity As we enter week 9, the plants are well into the late flowering stage, with the buds ripening beautifully. The trichomes are becoming more prominent, and there's a noticeable increase in resin production. The aromas are intensifying, making the garden a fragrant delight. The plants are showing clear signs of maturity, indicating that harvest time is approaching. Nutrient and Watering Adjustments To accelerate the ripening process and boost bud production, I'm using FinalPart by Terra Aquatica for Banana Purple Punch and Blue Dream. As from T.A recommended I use it alone with no other nutrients combined. I use it at full dosage but I hope I don't burn them in the end. No risk no fun. However, for Tangie and Gorilla Cookies, I have not changed the nutrient composition, as these plants will likely need another three /four weeks to fully mature. The watering schedule remains consistent, ensuring the plants are hydrated but not overwatered, which is crucial during this delicate phase. Pest Management and Plant Health To combat thrips, I've placed yellow and blue sticky traps around the plants. Fortunately, there have been no further signs of aphid infestation. The plants appear healthy and vigorous, showing no additional pest issues. Individual Plant Observations Blue Dream: Some pistils are starting to change color, and the main bud is becoming denser. The fan leaves are also transitioning from green to yellow, indicating that the plant is drawing nutrients from them. The trichomes are becoming more cloudy. Banana Purple Punch: The plant is experiencing slower growth, with minimal bud expansion. The pistils are changing color, and the buds are developing a beautiful purple hue. The fan leaves are turning yellow as the plant draws nitrogen from them. I’m hoping FinalPart will stimulate a final boost in bud production. Gorilla Cookies: Bud development is also progressing slowly. However, all the large leaves are still green, so I’ll hold off on FinalPart until at least next week. My goal here is to maximize yield. The resin production and aroma are intensifying daily. Tangie: Still in a growth phase, Tangie is a real eye-catcher. While the bud production is underway, the plant may need at least three, possibly even four more weeks to reach full maturity. The resin production and aroma are not yet as advanced as with the other plants, but Tangie looks very vibrant and healthy. Seeking Final Tips and Harvest Advice As we approach the final stages, any tips or advice on maximizing flavor, potency, or overall plant health would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to gear up for the most exciting part of the grow cycle—harvest! Update 27.07: Today, I decided to switch my Gorilla Cookies plant to FinalPart as well. This should give her a boost in trichome production and aroma, and hopefully enhance the flavor too. Tangie is the only plant still on regular bloom nutrients, as she clearly needs another three, maybe even four weeks to fully ripen. Judging by her current growth, she seems poised to yield the most by far.

hello it's been there for 3 days I rinsed my plants my BSB are very strong with a monstrous THC that I tested on a sample during a smoking session I feel the end of flowering slowly approaching I am happy to grow everyone

Estas fotos son finalizando la semana 3 cambié algunas de macetero y comenze el primero riego con fertilizantes.

From the leftovers and plant cutting Ive managed to make some bubble hash. Its easy and fun to do. Thnx Seeds Genetics Co for the nice genetics and see you next time

Day 99. Plants are great !!! SUPER Frosty, smelly and bulking up !!! Great strain - no doubts !!! All feeds done, only water for her already last two waterings. Think 10-14 days left. Still take off few leaves here and there to expose hidden buds and all goes very smooth ! Happy Growing !!!

The preflower stretch has been incomparable to any Soil grow I've seen! These sativas already caught up and don't show any signs of slowing down.

Molto aromatica con sentori di frutta pungente e spezie confuse con il caffè molto gradevole

Eai familia, sejam todos bem vindos a mais uma semana de cultivo dessa maravilha da FastBuds. Nesta semana notei que as folhas de baixo da banana purple punch estavam amarelando e queimada nas pontas e laterais, então fiz uma rega com mais nutrientes e até agora as folhas que estão crescendo novas já estão com a cor bem melhor. Também fiz uma amarra para controlar o tamanho, e ver se teria ramificações novas já que ainda não tenho um grow e o espaço da sapateira não e grande, até o momento está dando super certo, as meninas deram uma boa engrossada no caule e geraram vários novos galhos. Acredito que na próxima semana já inicia a pré- floração então dei nutrientes pra elas já se prepararem pra iniciar o crescimento das flores. Obrigado a todos que estão acompanhando até aqui espero trazer um resultado incrível!

Hey, green warriors and cannabis connoisseurs! 🌱✨ We’re now into week 2 of the flowering stage in our Runtz Battle, and the excitement is building! Our plants are thriving, and the first signs of budding are beginning to show. Let’s dive into the progress and take a closer look at how these beauties are developing. Week 2 Flowering Progress 🌿🌟 As we move further into the flowering phase, here’s what’s been happening: • Bud Formation Begins 🌸: • The Runtz plants are now focusing their energy on flower production. Tiny buds are starting to form at the nodes, and you can already see the potential for a bountiful harvest. The plants are strong and healthy, with dense, vibrant foliage. • F1 Compactness Continues 🌟: • The F1 strain remains the most compact of the group, showcasing tight internodal spacing. This compact structure is ideal for maximizing yield and creating dense, resinous buds. Environmental and Nutrient Update 🌡️💧 We’re maintaining our focus on providing the optimal environment and nutrients to support strong flowering: • Watering and Nutrients 💧: • The Autopots are doing their job, keeping the plants consistently hydrated with a TDS of 400 and pH of 6.2. This balance is crucial for nutrient uptake and overall plant health as they develop their flowers. • We’re continuing with Regulator and CaMg Boost in the reservoir. The rich, living soil is supplying most of the nutrients, allowing the plants to flourish with minimal additional inputs. This organic approach is part of our test run to see just how effective the soil’s biolife and nutrient mix can be throughout the entire growth cycle. • Environmental Conditions 🌡️: • Temperature: Room temperature is stable at 30.3°C, with a cool water temp of 18°C, keeping the roots happy and healthy. • Humidity: With an RH of 51%, we’re in the perfect range to avoid mold and mildew while still encouraging robust bud growth. Lighting and Growth 🌟💡 Our lighting setup continues to play a crucial role in the plants’ development: • Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro 💡: • The Lumatek Zeus is delivering intense, full-spectrum light, which is essential for strong bud development. The even light distribution is helping to ensure that all parts of the plants receive the energy they need to produce thick, resinous buds. • TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller 🌡️: • The TrolMaster system continues to manage the growing environment with precision, ensuring that the plants are kept within the ideal temperature, humidity, and light parameters. This control is vital as we move deeper into the flowering phase, where consistency is key to maximizing yield and quality. Looking Ahead 🌟🌿 As we head further into flowering, the excitement continues to build. The Runtz plants are thriving, showing early promise for a beautiful and bountiful harvest. With the environmental conditions and nutrient strategy finely tuned, we’re on track for a successful flowering period. Stay tuned for more updates as these buds continue to develop and the Runtz Battle heats up!

Very happy thought I'd ruined the buds with a homemade spider mite spray. Brought contaminated top up soil into the grow room without sterilising, lesson learned. Spray worked perfectly though and washes off fine with no bad residue or taste. My spray bottle is going to forever smell like garlic I think 🙈😂

El día 19 de floración se hace poda de brotes bajos y una pequeña defoliación de hojas de abanico 👍

Let them dry hang for 8 Days and they are perfect fruity
