🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia – Week 9 | The Girl Who Refuses to Hurry Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 At this point, I think we can officially stop pretending that Passion Fruitz is going to hurry up. She's not. 😂🍑 We're now at week 9 from seed, and this girl has been showing signs of flowering for roughly three weeks. Three weeks. And somehow, when I look at her, I get the feeling she's still thinking about whether she really wants to commit to the idea. She's giving us the same message she's been giving us for weeks: “I'm getting there. Relax.” And honestly? I've learned to listen. Because while Passion Fruitz may be incredibly slow compared with the rest of the tent, she's certainly not doing nothing. She's building. She's growing. She's staying beautiful. And she's giving us another fascinating example of just how differently genetics can behave when they're given the same environment. 🐌 The Slowest Girl in the Room If you've been following this phenotype from the beginning, you already know her reputation. Passion Fruitz is slow. Not a little slow. Not slightly behind. We're talking about a plant that seems to have completely rejected the concept of rushing. 😂 The other plants around her have moved further into flowering, while Passion Fruitz continues to take her time. We're now several weeks into seeing those first signs of flower development, and the transition is still remarkably gradual. But here's the important part: She doesn't look unhappy. She doesn't look weak. She doesn't look like she's struggling. She's simply on her own schedule. And that distinction matters. Because this is exactly what makes a phenotype hunt so interesting. 🌱 Slow Doesn't Mean She's Standing Still Although her flowering transition has been painfully slow, the plant itself has continued developing beautifully. She's around 72 cm, with a compact, powerful structure and some absolutely beautiful foliage. And those leaves... Wow. They're big. They're beautifully formed. They're carrying that lush green colour that makes this girl so enjoyable to photograph. When I look at her, I don't see a plant that has stopped growing. I see a plant that has spent a lot of time investing in her structure. Strong branches. A dense framework. Large fan leaves. Healthy new growth. She's been building the machine. She's just taking her time deciding when to turn that machine completely toward flowers. 🍑 Three Weeks of "Almost There" This is probably the funniest part of her story right now. We've watched her start showing signs of flowering. Then we watched her continue showing signs of flowering. And now we're watching her... continue showing signs of flowering. 😂😂😂 At this point I'm starting to wonder whether Passion Fruitz has invented her own flowering stage. Maybe this is Passion Fruitz Extended Pre-Flower. But jokes aside, this is actually a fascinating observation. Under the same overall environmental strategy as the rest of the room, she's expressing a very different developmental rhythm. And that's precisely the kind of thing I wanted this project to reveal. The plants don't read the diary. They don't look at the calendar. They don't care what week everyone else is in. They follow their genetics. And this girl apparently has a very long internal calendar. 🍃 The Green I Love One thing I absolutely don't have any complaints about is her foliage. She continues to look beautiful. The colour is strong. The leaves are large. The structure is healthy. And the new growth continues looking vibrant. This is another reason I'm not interested in trying to force her into somebody else's timeline. If the plant is healthy and continuing to develop, then there is value in simply observing. I don't need to make her flower faster just because the plants beside her are further ahead. The entire point is to see what she wants to do. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson very easy. 🌿 A Structure Worth Looking At The more I photograph this girl, the more I appreciate her architecture. She's not a giant plant. She's not trying to reach the ceiling. But she's compact, sturdy and beautifully built. The large fan leaves give her an almost tropical appearance, while the branching structure underneath shows just how much development has happened before the flowering phase really got moving. There is something quite satisfying about seeing a plant like this. She's essentially saying: “I may be late, but when I arrive, I'll have something to show you.” And now I'm genuinely curious whether that's exactly what she's planning. 📸 Back to the Studio This week I decided Passion Fruitz deserved another trip to the studio. And I'm glad I did. Sometimes when you're looking at plants inside the tent, surrounded by lights, equipment and twenty-plus other plants, it's easy to overlook the individual beauty of one phenotype. Put her on her own... and suddenly you notice everything. The size of those leaves. The colour. The spacing. The branching. The little details in the new growth. The personality of the plant itself. That's one of the reasons I enjoy photography so much during this project. The camera forces me to slow down. And with Passion Fruitz... apparently we're already very good at slowing down. 😂📸🍑 💡 Same Room. Very Different Story. The 8×8 Adventure continues to prove one thing over and over again: Genetics matter. We're giving these plants the same general environment. The same lighting philosophy. The same irrigation system. The same shared reservoir. The same overall cultivation strategy. Yet Passion Fruitz has chosen a completely different timeline. Some phenotypes race into flowering. Some stretch aggressively. Some build flowers almost immediately. And Passion Fruitz? She takes her time. That's not necessarily a disadvantage. It's simply her story. And we're here to document it rather than rewrite it. 💧 Feeding & Consistency The room continues following the same flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required The solution remains around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. The important thing with a phenotype like Passion Fruitz is resisting the temptation to chase her timeline with unnecessary changes. She's slow. We've established that. 😂 But she's healthy. She's growing. She's developing. So consistency remains the approach. Give her the same foundation. Watch what she does with it. And let the genetics speak. 🌡️ Environment The room remains stable: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Nothing dramatic has changed. And that consistency gives us an even better opportunity to observe just how differently this phenotype behaves. 💡 Lighting the Slow Girl The lighting strategy continues to be particularly interesting with Passion Fruitz. The overhead lighting provides the main source, while the additional lighting deeper in the canopy helps us observe what happens beyond the top layer. Her structure gives us plenty of foliage to work with, and as flowering continues to develop, I'm curious to see how those sites respond throughout the plant. Again, there is no rush. We're simply watching. And documenting. And waiting. Patiently. Very patiently. 😂🍑 🔍 What I'm Watching Now At this point, my biggest question is incredibly simple: How long is Passion Fruitz actually going to take? We're entering week 9 from seed. We've been watching flowering signs for around three weeks. And she's still moving at her own wonderfully frustrating pace. But here's the thing... I'm no longer annoyed by it. I'm fascinated. Because eventually, she will have to reveal where this story is going. Will she suddenly accelerate? Will the flower sites begin developing more rapidly? Will she remain the slowest girl in the room all the way through? I honestly don't know. And that's exactly why I'm enjoying her. 🍑 Beauty Doesn't Have a Schedule Sometimes we get so focused on timelines that we forget to look at the plant itself. Passion Fruitz may be behind the others in flowering development. But look at her. She's beautiful. Beautiful colour. Beautiful leaves. Beautiful structure. Healthy growth. And a phenotype that has already given us a completely different story from almost everything else in the room. She's not late. She's just writing a different calendar. And I'm perfectly happy to keep turning the pages. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we wait. 😂 I want to see whether this slow transition finally begins accelerating. I want to see the flowering sites become more defined. I want to see whether her impressive structure translates into equally impressive flower development once she finally decides to commit. And most importantly, I want to continue documenting her exactly as she is. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. No trying to make Passion Fruitz become another phenotype. She's Passion Fruitz. And apparently, Passion Fruitz takes her sweet time. 💚 The Girl Who Makes Us Wait There are plants in this project that make you excited because they're explosive. There are plants that impress you because they're enormous. There are plants that surprise you with their colours or aromas. And then there's this girl. She makes you wait. And wait. And wait. 😂🍑 But every time I look at her, I find another detail worth appreciating. The leaves. The structure. The colour. The development. The potential. And that little question sitting in the back of my mind: “What happens when this girl finally decides it's time?” That's what I'm waiting for. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. And another reminder that plants don't care about our schedules. Passion Fruitz continues to be the slowest girl in the room, and at this point, I think she's earned the title permanently. 😂🍑 But slow doesn't mean uninteresting. Quite the opposite. She's giving us one of the most unique stories in the entire 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where we can document these journeys, learn from one another and share the results. 🍑 Zamnesia — for the Passion Fruitz genetics that gave us this wonderfully patient phenotype. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the garden throughout the cycle. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the room. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable environment. ✨ LumiFlora — for the additional lighting helping us explore development deeper into the canopy. And of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here every week, dropping a comment, asking questions, sharing your own experience, or simply watching quietly... thank you. This project wouldn't be the same without you. Passion Fruitz... Week 9 from seed. Still slow. Still beautiful. Still green. Still building. Still taking her time. And still making us wonder: “Girl... when are you actually going to flower?” 😂🍑 But that's okay. We're not going anywhere. We'll wait. Because maybe the slowest girl in the room has simply been saving her story for later. And when she finally decides to tell it... I want to be there with the camera ready. 📸🍑💚 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚

Pollen Donor - 36 flower nights Pollen Receivers - 29 flower nights Figured it was a good time for an update. I think I mentioned in previous updates that I did not get a decent conversion rate at ~2mM concentration. Luckily, I do see a couple spots with early stigmata coloration, so at least some pollination has occured. I was pretty close to trashing it all. Even so, I expect very minimal number of seeds. The best plant, KM3 is definitely showing pollination. The from-seed MM also has shown early rusty stigmata. These are the two i most wanted seeds from. It's not all doom and gloom. Both are pictured after the hermie closeups. I don't see any coloration on the other 2 receivers, but at the very least some pollen is floating around. I will agitate the donor plant over the others for an extended period. When the male bits start to fall off the plant, I'll trash the donor. I will also have to extend the flower cycle to let any late pollination have time to properly develop viable seeds. This is a slight scheduling inconvenience for the 2nd breeding cycle, which was already a bit tight. While I consider this a complete fuck up of my own doing, it won't be a total waste of time. I also let these plants get too big. All that accomplishes is a need for more frequent fertigations. Next update in 5-6 weeks. Expect a few pictures of a small quantity of feminized seeds... Yaaaay!

2/2 12am Hotel is looking great, got a great feeling about this. 2/3 1:31M BILLY MAY'S VERSION OF STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT....THE GREATEST SONG FOR STONER EARS...SO MOVING. 2/3 12:01 PM I have all three of the trailer Park boys going in one tent. I cut Ricky down way way down and I’ll cut bubbles back a little bit. I want them all to flower at the same time and the Ricky plant has been growing since September so I can cut quite a bit off. She’ll be just fine. It’s kind of funny looking so they’re kind of trailer trash looking. It’s all perfect what I lack in ability. I’m making up for in showmanship so if I screw up, it’s on purpose. It’s part of the show you wouldn’t understand.🎥

WEEK 6 | DAY 38 What can I say, everything’s just running perfectly. 😄😄 The plant is absolutely gigantic and keeps getting even bigger. Over the last 7 days she’s been growing about 5 cm per day. You can’t even really tell which one is the main cola anymore... they’re all at the same height without any topping or anything. I’m curious how tight it’s going to get once the Headbanger really takes off, but so far she hasn’t properly started flowering yet 😅😇 PH5.7 | EC1.9 | DLI65 | VPD0.9-1

CONTEST SWEETSEEDS DARK DEVIL AUTO GROWER ALIEN WEEK 7

Days 99 - 105 (from sprout) 8/30/24 - 9/5/24 Raised light above canopy of The Good Shit - PAR on main tops is 800-700+ while remaining lowers are seeing closer to 450-500 Loompa's Headband x TK fading to a close this week - trichome check starting to show amber on the bracts Sweet 16 S1 now starting senescence and a little fading on some fan leaves The Good Shit showed signs of some overwatering, so a newly made FPE was added to feed schedule to assist the microbiology Light schedule lowered to 10 hrs this week IPM: Applied enzymes (tweetmint) at a rate of 0.5 fl oz to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on cover crops + mulch throughout the week. Significant decrease in pest population, now needs a high quality compost top dressing for long term correction

Added the first trellis net in I’ll put the other one in when I flip it so far so good

10/28 - (2x2-4x4) Both tents running at 18/6 (Clones) - flush feeds next 2 weeks - flipping into flower by next week - had a small PH issue since addressed.

Introduction - Week 09 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 100906.68, Overall a pretty good grow week! Started the week off by increasing the light's intensity. Also raised it up a bit. Most of the week was basic growth checkups and humidifier refilling. Mid week, increased the light's intensity a bit more. Also did a top soil drench of organic fertilizer along with a simple defoliation. Towards the end of the week, decided to give both girls a large bottom watering. Also did a mini defoliation again. Now that both reservoirs are full with about 2 gallons, shouldn't need to water for a while. Next week will be the big 12/12 flip! Steady as she grows Ensign.

Less than a solo cup of leaves. --- Mainly focused on yellowing or damaged growth. --- Tucked the trimmings under the mulch covers. - [22:03]: Rotated the EarthBoxes 180 degrees. --- Okay! Time to give this a go! --- Going to give each EarthBox a full 2 gallons of distilled water. --- Going to also add some probiotics and beneficial anaerobic microbes. --- Don't frack this up Ensign. --- Okay! Starting with EB2, - [22:15]: Poured 2 cups out of one of the gallons into a measuring cup. --- Added 60mL (2oz) of Yah-Whey. --- Mixed and poured the solution straight into the fill tube. --- Then poured the rest of the gallon along with another full gallon of distilled water into the fill tube. - [22:27]: Repeated the exact same process with EB1. --- Poured 2 gallons of distilled water along with 60mL of Yah-Whey into the reservoir. --- Great! Now both EarthBoxes are the fullest they have ever been. - [22:36]: Rotated the EarthBoxes back to the default configuration. --- Oops. Some water did spill out while rotating the EarthBoxes. --- Next time, will wait a bit longer for the water to soak in first. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). Day 07 - Sunday - 04/23/23 - Total Days: 069 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages - Temps: 80.2°F [26.8°C] - Humidity: 69.9% - VPD: 1.04 kPa - Soil %: [25, 39, 32, 36] ----------------------------------- - [07:19]: Morning my ladies! --- Growing along nicely! --- Although some of the growth is looking a bit droopy. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). - [21:24]: Night checkup and refill! --- Looking good girls! --- Growth has started perking up again. Nice! - [21:27]: Took end of week height readings. --- EB1 is about 18.5" tall. --- EB2 is about 16.5" tall. --- EB1 was about 16" away from the grow light. --- EB2 was about 18" away from the grow light. --- Growth is taller for both, but overall still about the same height. --- But lots of lower growth so not too worried. --- Refilled the humidifier with distilled water and Hydrogen Peroxide (~20mL). --- Wow what a week! --- Next week begins the flip to a 12/12 light cycle. --- Curious to see if these girls will stretch or not.

Check it! This is just my and my homie gallery. Guerillas epic place! 😁

An earlier update today as I'm traveling for 5 days. The little one looks good and continues to grow in height. That's why I've slowly started a gently LST. Day 18 Photoshooting

48 hrs. of dark are up and its time to chop. pots have dried from the last flush. These did not stretch as much as I would have liked I will have to adjust my light better next time and there was a lot of lower development near the media, hence not enough air flow. when I flushed the pots the water level went up to the lower growth on the Think different and the bottom was wet and rotted the bottom half. I did a mild lollypop on them I'm early flower it just was not enough, LESSON LEARNED. Chopped on 2/8/20 whole plant drying low and slow 54% RH 68F for 10-14 days then will trim and jar. 981 grams wet with the lumber. lets see how they dry. I got a rosin press coming today I will squeeze all the trim and larffy buds into dabs yummy! All in all I recommend these genetics I will try the think different again I'm sure I just got a recessive dwarf gene. I have seen other grows of this same strain same breeder that are huge and stacked. thanks again to Fast Buds 420 and Green Buzz Nutrients for suppling the goods for the grow. Stay tuned for the harvest pics and vids along with the rosin squish. Be cool to one another we could really use it these days.👏 please fell free to comment on the grow as this is my first true auto flower grow. If any one out there is experienced with rosin pressing and you have any tips for beginner's let me know I will incorporate them in the next videos. thanks
