This week she’s bloomed after all that time thinking it was an auto it turns out she’s a photo which is weird because Top Tao seeds do not do photoperiod seeds to my knowledge as I tried to purchase some could only find autos however this Taomatic is not an auto I had another one growing as well which I tore down as these plants were nearly 3 months in and not a single sign of showing sex well you live and you learn BUT on a good note she’s smells very danky not a usual danky smell either it’s different, as of now I would say Top Tao seeds are good they take to topping and heavy training well I cracked 8 regular seeds and only had 2 males maybe it’s luck? we’ll see anyway happy growing peace ✌️🏾

A princípio deixaria mais uma semana, mas como verifiquei um botão com fungos , resolvi antecipar , afinal os tricomas ja estavam bem leitosos. Agora é aguardar secar .Secagem em andamento na cesta de secagem.

🌱 Folder 09 | Candy Rain Auto Week 1 – Finding Her Rhythm Welcome to the first chapter of Candy Rain Auto in the 8×8 Adventure. Unlike many of her neighbors, Candy Rain didn’t have the easiest start. She entered the room a few days later than the rest of the project, immediately placing herself at a slight disadvantage on paper. But plants don’t read calendars, and every phenotype writes its own story. The purpose of the 8×8 Adventure has always been exactly this: documenting every individual plant honestly, allowing each genetic to express itself naturally under identical conditions. There are no races here. Every plant is given the same opportunity to demonstrate what it is capable of. Already during this first week, Candy Rain is proving that patience is often rewarded. While initially producing only simple juvenile leaves, she quickly transitioned into healthy three-finger leaves, with each new set arriving larger, wider and noticeably more vigorous than the last. The journey has only just begun. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Environment The entire room remains carefully controlled to provide every cultivar with the same stable environment. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Cycle: 12 / 12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Because Candy Rain emerged slightly later than the rest of the room, irrigation has been adjusted specifically to her needs. Rather than following the volume given to the larger plants, watering remains concentrated around the young root zone, encouraging the roots to actively search through the substrate while avoiding unnecessary saturation. ⸻ 🌿 Nutrition Candy Rain is receiving exactly the same Plagron Terra program as the rest of the garden, simply scaled appropriately for her stage of development. Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted when necessary * Lemon Kick — adjusted when necessary The objective during these first weeks isn’t rapid top growth—it’s establishing a healthy root system capable of supporting explosive development once flowering begins. A strong foundation always pays dividends later. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Watching this week’s progression has been incredibly satisfying. The earliest photographs show a delicate young seedling still carrying its juvenile characteristics. By the end of the week, however, the transformation is obvious. The stem has thickened considerably. Leaf spacing has become more symmetrical. The newest growth appears increasingly vigorous. Most encouraging of all is the transition into beautifully formed three-finger leaves, signalling that the plant has fully entered active vegetative development. Each new node displays noticeably more energy than the previous one, suggesting that the initial establishment period is already behind her. Despite being the smallest plant in the room, she doesn’t appear weak. Quite the opposite—she appears determined. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos Sometimes the smallest plants create the most rewarding photographs. The early overhead images capture a tiny seedling standing almost alone within a large container, emphasizing just how much potential still lies beneath the surface. As the week progresses, every photograph tells a different story. The side profiles reveal a stem becoming stronger each day, while the overhead shots beautifully document the increasing symmetry of the canopy. One of my favorite moments is seeing those first fully developed three-finger leaves spreading confidently across the frame. They’re small, but perfectly formed, and they represent the moment where Candy Rain truly begins her journey. Macro photography reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen dramatically. Sometimes the biggest victories are measured in millimetres. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Forward Next week should be particularly exciting. With the root system now becoming established, I expect noticeably faster vertical growth, larger fan leaves and shorter intervals between new nodes. The gap separating Candy Rain from the rest of the room should gradually begin to shrink. Autos often surprise us with sudden bursts of development once they settle into their final containers, and there are already signs that she may be preparing for exactly that. Her story isn’t about catching up. It’s about revealing what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to every single person following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve only just discovered this diary, your encouragement, feedback and conversations are what make documenting every week so rewarding. This project isn’t simply about growing plants—it’s about learning together, sharing experiences and celebrating every stage of the journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and document their passion. My sincere thanks also go to Plagron for providing the Terra nutrient line that is powering this entire 8×8 Adventure. Their products continue to deliver consistency, simplicity and reliability throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible breeders whose genetics make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own personality, and watching those differences unfold under identical conditions is one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. And of course… Growers Love and, Thank you for taking the time to follow along. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One plant at a time. The 8×8 Adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚

I got my humidity under control. From now on there is only H2O without fertilizer. But I think my gorilla is a little too brown. I really hope it has to be that way. Otherwise all the other ladies are looking great.

Week 3 Veg - Thus far running accordingly. No signs of stress or deficiencies. Introduced a Co2 bag (Exhale 265) to run into early flowering. *End of week recap* (08/27) User error during LST for both - Gave heavy nutes to assist on the rebound - Minor chance of stunting Besides the LST error - Running smoothly - Light flower will begin in 2 weeks.

Fase de Maduración y Protección Antioxidante (Semana 8) Estado Fenológico: Octava semana de floración (Híbrida de alta densidad). Estrategia de Senescencia Programada: Se ha ejecutado una transición nutricional específica para inducir la senescencia programada, enfocada en la translocación de nutrientes y la eliminación efectiva de nitratos residuales en el tejido vegetal. Desarrollo Estructural: La integración de Silicio biodisponible en el programa ha permitido obtener una estructura de flores significativamente más compacta y tallos con mayor resistencia mecánica comparada a cultivos anteriores. Protocolo de Protección de Tricomas: Durante esta semana, el riego se ha realizado exclusivamente con agua de ósmosis inversa (250 ppm de ácido ascórbico + 100 ppm de ácido cítrico). Esta carga de antioxidantes actúa protegiendo los tricomas glandulares de la oxidación prematura provocada por el estrés hídrico y la lixiviación de sales y se utilizo silicato de potasio como buffer para calibrar el PH en 5.5. Análisis Visual: Se observa una maduración óptima con una preservación excepcional de la resina, confirmando que la arquitectura floral y la salud metabólica están en su punto máximo antes del cierre del ciclo

Strain: Fast Buds – FBA2505 Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Coco and Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 11 – Chop Day! The queen of this run is officially down! That massive main cola was something else chunky, colorful, and the smell? Unreal. Easily one of my top favorites from this grow. She stayed consistent the whole way through and made the tent smell like candy. She’s now hanging and beginning the dry, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how she cures up. Dry update coming soon and don’t forget to use my code ISLANDT for 15% off your next Fast Buds order!

First week indoors done !!! And they BULK ;) Love it !!! Trichs stacking well, they don't look so leafy anymore and overall it will be nice result with wild forest strawberry flavour ... Finishing indoors - works !!! Middle of the week. Girls drink like crazy, bulks up and looking really nice, just watered and thinking its the one before last one .... Loads of dead leaves, they eat themself nicely and will award me with clean smoke at the end .. Wild forest strawberry smell faded away tho, a bit sad, maybe he is still in the bud . 5th day of week. They are ready !!! Checked all plants, first ambers, even fresh pistils here and there, loads of fan leaves where eaten, plants just finished perfect. Purple colours here and there and full maturity in my eyes. Still one more light watering, 48 hours of darkness and chop hopefully on sunday, next wednesday - latest. Happy growing !
