Hello,,, fin de semaine 10, semaine 2 de floraison. Les plantes se portent très bien. Elles ont fait un beau stretch depuis le passage en 12/12. Presque 40cm!! Un début de buds commence à se former. Les pistils blanc apparaissent doucement. Je vais attendre la fin du stretch pour refaire une défoliation, Parceque la canopé est vraiment très très dense. Ce qui améliorera la pénétration lumineuse et qui aura aussi pour effet de faire baisser l’humidité, que j’ai du mal à faire chuter en dessous des 55% pour le moment. J’ai aussi augmenté mon ec à 1.7 pour bien les nourrir, ce qui pour le moment semble leur convenir. Pour l’arrosage, je suis toujours à un arrosage par jour. Voilà pour cette semaine... Happy grow...😎

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!

Intermediate Results Overview This grow was intense! Setting up the grow consumed so much of my time and focus that I started slacking at work, and it took me a month to get back on track. But hey, what’s the point of a job if it gets in the way of growing? 😉 In the end, everything worked out, and I gained invaluable experience. This was my first grow using coco coir. At first, I didn’t get it, but then it just clicked! Now I’m hooked: "I’m here to stay." Coco is more controlled than soil, flushes easily, and you can introduce beneficial microbes, which thrive in it. My main takeaway from this grow? If you buy coco, don’t forget CalMag! Next time, I’ll definitely install HEPA filters at the intake. The amount of dust was insane, and the grow box pulls air like a vacuum cleaner. Watching the timelapse, you can see the box sucking in every bit of dust. I vacuumed the intake filters weekly. The plant was incredibly sticky, but that also meant it caught a lot of lint and fibers between trichomes, especially visible under a microscope. Smoking microplastics? No, thank you! --- On CO2 CO2 only works if everything else is dialed in. If the plant experiences stress from deficiencies or overfeeding, you can forget about it. Since CO2 supplementation requires turning off the exhaust fan, it’s hard to manage temperature and humidity. The plant releases so much moisture that RH jumps to 80% within minutes. It’s doable, but definitely a challenge. --- On Magnetic Fields No clue what’s happening here yet, but it’s fascinating! I’ll test again with a control sample. --- Nutrients Dreams do come true—I’ve tested almost everything Advanced Nutrients offers. It wasn’t all smooth sailing; their feeding charts need adjustments for your conditions, and you usually need to feed less than recommended. Overall, I’d say the nutrients performed 100%, and I see no reason to switch. I’ll stick with them for future grows. --- Strain This strain is reliable, though not the most productive. It flowered exactly as advertised and delivered a frosty finish. It tolerated all my mistakes like a champ—especially mold. Despite an abandoned SCROG plan turning the plant into a bouquet, there wasn’t a single mold spot, even in the densely packed lower buds that got almost no light. Zero mold issues! --- Aroma As advertised: pine, wood, and citrus. At first, I thought it smelled like grapefruit, but now I’m leaning toward bergamot. Bergamot with a classic weed aroma—a recognizable twist on the usual scent. During the grow, the smell was strong, but the carbon filter handled it perfectly. --- Flavor It’s too early to say, but the flavor is definitely there! Embarrassingly, all my past harvests tasted the same—like nothing. Just smoke. This one has a distinct sour taste. I’m excited to see how it develops after curing. --- Effect Too early for a full review, but I love what I’ve tried so far. The high lasts about three hours, with euphoria and relaxation. It’s the perfect evening strain. I’ve smoked a lot over the years, but I’ve never experienced true euphoria—until now. Guess I’ve been stuck with garbage and ditch weed before. 😅 It’s not a strain for productivity or chores, but it’s perfect for chilling, watching something, or chatting. No anxiety, just great vibes. It feels like having a beer after a long day: you relax, and life feels good again. --- Roots The roots were healthy—maybe too healthy! While the AirPot (20L) prevented root circling, it didn’t eliminate it entirely. There were dead zones at the bottom where roots circled around the perimeter. A dense root mat formed at the bottom (so dense you couldn’t poke a finger through it), which likely contributed to salt buildup. Breaking through that mat required more water, and I suspect this caused EC to spike 1.5x the next day if there was no runoff. Next time, I’ll mix some pumice with the substrate at the bottom, about 3–4 cm deep. --- Timelapse I only got the timelapse running after the switch to flowering, so it’s not from the beginning. Still, it’s an incredibly useful tool for understanding growth rates. I’ll definitely use it for future grows. Comparing yesterday to today is one thing, but rewinding a week to see how things were is game-changing. I recommend it! You can even use an old phone with a timelapse app if your camera doesn’t support it by default. --- What’s Next I’ve grown fat buds before, but I’ve always neglected curing. This time, I’m doing it by the book with full control. Drying in the grow box with RH controlled at 50–60% (averaging 55%) for a slow, even dry. Temps are kept between 20–23°C, with frequent venting to keep it below 21°C for terpene preservation. After 7–10 days, when small stems snap with a characteristic sound, I’ll trim and jar them with humidity sensors. For the first two weeks, I’ll burp the jars twice daily, then reduce to once daily for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll monitor the RH sensors and adjust as needed. I’ll share the details after curing is complete. After drying, I’ll weigh the buds, take photos, and share another post in a month or two after curing to report on the flavor and aroma. For now, I’m taking a breather, fine-tuning my setup, and preparing for my next grow: Wizard Trees - Zangria S1.

Not much going on this week. She's growing quite slowly for some reason. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.. 😕

Alright growers 🙏🏻 So this is the start of week 2 of flowering these girls - all I can say is this time around has been a nightmare of problems right and left ha. I’m now struggling to keep temps down and RH down, I got a small dehumidifier in there 1.7litres to help out. But these girls are starting to take shape now I done a slight defoliation on the lowers to help air circulation. All is looking well and hopefully get to see some progress soon. I’ve not really taken much care or notice of the clones it took of the - Buddha blue cheese Exodus cheese Got these to stickers mixed up - rs11 & platchata (in-house genetics) So I’ve potted them into small pots Few of the auto strains I had I got rid of a couple of them as they were slow growth properly due to stress’s. A couple of them are still going okay but definitely not dense buds at all mostly airy so not a fan at growing these compared to photoperiods. Happy growing guys 👌🏻✌️🏻🍁

End of day 41 flower and will be flushing both girls on day 42 flower. Overall the buds don’t seem as fat as it should be but hopefully during the flush they should gain some weight. I took a bunch of clones so those will be going to flower soon and now I have a better understanding of how to treat these girls during the flowering stage. Also popped two Blueberry seeds so I will have a journal on that soon.

Generally pleased with the outcome of this grow considering the space limitations of a 2x2x4 tent. Flowers were very resinous, making this strain perfect for extraction. (Harvested May 27)

- harvest was today on day 58, she is the fastest yet bigest auto i grew so far - now drying in my drytent with the carbon filter on - as usual harvest report will be up in 10-14 days when everything is dry and trimmed so stay tuned

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 13 💗🌱 The Little One Keeps Doing Her Thing 👑✨ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this week... I'm not going to give you another speech about how small she is. 😂 We've done that. We've established it. Everybody knows. Pink Rosay Pheno B is Pink Rosay Pheno B. She's here. She's growing. She's flowering. She's doing her thing. And we're letting her. 💗🌿 At this point, I think that's really the most honest way to describe this girl. There isn't some huge dramatic development to report. There isn't some crazy transformation. There isn't some unbelievable story that suddenly appeared this week. And honestly? That's perfectly fine. Because not every plant needs a dramatic weekly chapter. Some plants simply need to be observed. Maintained. Appreciated. And allowed to finish their story. And that's exactly what we're doing with this little girl. ──────────────────────── 🌸 WEEK 13 – LET HER DO HER THING Pink Rosay Pheno B continues moving along in her own little world. 😂🌸 She's developing. She's flowering. She's maintaining herself. And she's continuing exactly as she has been. And that's enough. At this stage of the 8×8 Adventure, the role of the grower has changed considerably. Earlier in the run, there was plenty to do. Structure. Training. Tucking. Adjustments. Canopy work. Watching the stretch. Making decisions. Now? Much less. And honestly... that's a good thing. Because when a flowering plant is progressing nicely and doesn't need anything from you, that's usually exactly where you want to be. If something suddenly demands a lot of attention at this stage... it's usually because something has gone wrong. 😂 So when I walk into the room and Pink Rosay B doesn't need anything? Thank you very much. I'll take that. 🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 👀 SHE'S HERE — AND THAT'S ENOUGH I think this week is less about trying to make this girl into something extraordinary... and more about appreciating her for what she actually is. She's here. She's part of the 8×8 Adventure. She's been given the same general opportunity as everyone else. She's been cared for. She's been watched. She's been documented. And now she's continuing her journey. That's it. No need to create a bigger story than there actually is. No need to pretend she's suddenly become the star of the room. She's not. 😂 And that's okay. Because this project isn't about pretending every plant is spectacular in exactly the same way. It's about documenting the differences. Some plants demand hours of photography. Some make you want to pull out the macro lens. Some have structures that make you want to photograph every single flower. And some... you take a few good photographs... smile... and say: "Yep. That's her." 😂🌸 And that's Pink Rosay Pheno B. ──────────────────────── 📸 NOT EVERY PLANT NEEDS A PHOTO CATALOG This is something I actually want to explain properly this week. You'll notice that we're not creating an enormous photographic catalog for this girl. And that's intentional. Not because she's being ignored. Not because she doesn't deserve attention. But because I want the documentation to reflect the plant honestly. Some plants are so visually complex or unusual that I genuinely enjoy spending hours photographing them. Macro after macro. Different angles. Different lighting. Close-ups. Structure shots. Details upon details. And that's fantastic. I love doing it. 📸🔥 But with Pink Rosay Pheno B... I don't feel the need to turn every flower into a museum exhibition. 😂 She's doing her thing. She's beautiful in her own way. She's part of the experiment. And we're documenting her appropriately. That's enough. The diary doesn't need twenty different macro photographs of the same flower just for the sake of having twenty photographs. I'd rather show you the plant. Show you the progress. Show you where she is. And let her speak for herself. ──────────────────────── 🌿 DOCUMENTATION SHOULD TELL THE TRUTH That's one of the things I really value about the 8×8 Adventure. We're not trying to make every entry look like a magazine advertisement. We're documenting plants. Real plants. Different phenotypes. Different expressions. Different levels of excitement. Different personalities. And sometimes the most honest report is: "She's doing well. Nothing dramatic happened. Let's keep watching." 😂🌱 That's growing. Not every week is fireworks. Sometimes it's simply another week of healthy development. And that's exactly what this week is for Pink Rosay B. ──────────────────────── 💗 SHE'S STILL GETTING THE CARE SHE NEEDS And just because we're not spending hours photographing her doesn't mean she's being neglected. Absolutely not. She's still part of the room. She's still being observed. She's still receiving what she needs. She's still included in the overall maintenance. And if she asks for something... we respond. That's the relationship. We don't need to constantly touch a plant to care for it. Sometimes caring means knowing when to leave it alone. And right now? She's telling me: "I'm fine." 😂🌿 Okay, little girl. Then carry on. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE QUIET PART OF THE JOURNEY This is the part of the grow where things become wonderfully simple. The major structural work is behind us. The plants have already built their architecture. The flowers are established. The room is stable. The systems are running. Now we're mostly watching. And I actually enjoy this stage. Because there is something very satisfying about walking into a room and realizing: Nothing needs fixing. Nothing needs rescuing. Nothing needs changing. Everything is simply moving forward. And Pink Rosay B is part of that. She's moving. She's developing. She's finishing her own little chapter. And we're allowing her to do it. 🌿💗 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. HER OWN STORY. The 8×8 Adventure continues to demonstrate the same thing week after week. One room. One general environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One overall nutritional approach. One 12/12 schedule. And completely different plants. Different structures. Different sizes. Different personalities. Different expressions. Pink Rosay B has simply chosen her own version. 😂🌸 And that's exactly what I want to document. We're not here to force every plant into the same mold. We're here to see what they become. And she's already told us quite clearly who she is. ──────────────────────── ☀️ THE PHOTONS KEEP FLYING The lighting environment remains part of the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup across the room. The additional fixtures continue giving us greater capability and flexibility. But the important part is still control. We're not simply throwing everything at maximum output. We're providing the environment... and letting each plant interpret it. The photons don't care whether she's big or small. They arrive. The leaves receive them. And the genetics decide what happens next. 😂☀️🌿 Pink Rosay B has her own answer. And that's all we're here to observe. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ MAINTENANCE, OBSERVATION & PATIENCE At this stage, my job is wonderfully simple. Maintain. Observe. Support. Respond when necessary. And otherwise... leave the plant alone. 😂 It's funny because earlier in a grow, doing nothing can feel like you're not doing enough. Later in the grow, you realize that doing unnecessary things is actually the bigger mistake. If she's healthy... let her be healthy. If she's developing... let her develop. If she's not asking for anything... don't invent something for her to ask for. 🌿💚 Sometimes the best intervention is no intervention. ──────────────────────── 😂 SHE DOESN'T NEED ME TO INVENT A STORY And that's probably what I want to avoid most this week. I don't want to invent some dramatic transformation just because it's Week 13. She's not suddenly a completely different plant. She's Pink Rosay B. She's continuing. She's doing her thing. And I'm enjoying watching her do it. That's the story. And honestly... I think there's something quite nice about that. Not every chapter needs a plot twist. Sometimes the character simply keeps walking. And we're following her. 😂🌸 ──────────────────────── 📸 A FEW GOOD PHOTOS ARE ENOUGH So this week, we're keeping the photography simple. A few good views. Enough to show her development. Enough to document her current state. Enough to keep the diary complete. And then... back to enjoying the room. Because I don't want the camera to become the reason I'm looking at the plant. The plant is the reason I'm looking at the plant. 😂📸🌿 And if she gives me a particularly beautiful flower... I'll photograph it. If she gives me an interesting angle... I'll photograph it. If not? That's okay too. She's still part of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LOUD There is also something I appreciate about this girl. She doesn't need to scream for attention. She doesn't need to be the most spectacular plant in the room. She doesn't need to produce an endless gallery of macro shots. She simply exists... and continues. And sometimes that's beautiful in itself. There is beauty in complexity. There is beauty in size. There is beauty in frost. There is beauty in colour. And there is also beauty in simplicity. Pink Rosay B gives us that. 💗🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm watching the basics. 🌸 Continued flower development. 🌿 Overall plant health. ❄️ Resin development. 💚 General maturity. 👀 Any changes that actually require attention. And that's about it. I'm not trying to force anything. I'm not trying to turn her into another plant. I'm not trying to create work where there isn't any. I'm simply watching her finish. And honestly? I'm happy. ──────────────────────── 💗 LET HER HAVE HER SPOTLIGHT Even though we're not giving her an enormous photographic catalog... she still deserves her spotlight. Because the spotlight doesn't have to mean: "Look at the most spectacular plant in the room." Sometimes the spotlight simply means: "Look at this plant. This is her. This is how she grows. This is what she became. And this is her story." 💗🌸👑 That's enough. So yes... Pink Rosay B gets her spotlight this week. Not because she's trying to steal it. Not because she's demanding it. But because she's part of this adventure. And because she deserves to be seen. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – JUST LET HER BE Week 13. Pink Rosay Auto. Pheno B. And this week... I'm keeping it simple. 😂💗 She's doing her thing. We're doing ours. She continues to develop. We continue to provide. She continues to flower. We continue to observe. She doesn't need an enormous amount of attention. And that's perfectly okay. I don't need to spend hours creating a massive macro catalog for every plant in this room. Some girls make me want to spend an entire afternoon behind the camera. Some don't. That's part of the reality of growing twelve different plants. And I think it's actually important to show that honestly. Pink Rosay B is here. She's cared for. She's respected. She's documented. She's part of the experiment. And now... we let her finish. 🌸💗🌿 No pressure. No expectations. No unnecessary interference. Just... let her be. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because sometimes the best thing you can say about a plant is simply: "She's doing well." 😂💚 And Pink Rosay B is. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU Another week. Another chapter. And another little glimpse into the wonderfully unpredictable world of the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual genetic journeys and share them with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving us the opportunity to experience such different expressions within the same adventure. 🌸💗 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. 🌱 Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of the room. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to stop by and see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Pink Rosay B? This week, we're not going to make you into something you're not. We're not going to create a giant story around you. We're not going to pretend every flower needs a macro photograph. We're simply going to appreciate you for what you are. A little girl. A unique phenotype. A part of this crazy experiment. A plant that's still here. Still growing. Still developing. Still doing her thing. And that's enough. 💗🌸🌿 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's let her continue at her own rhythm. And let's simply enjoy watching the story reach its next chapter. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where some girls demand the camera, some girls demand the spotlight, some girls demand hours of studio time... and some simply sit there quietly and say: "I'm good." 😂💗🌿 And Pink Rosay Pheno B? She's good. Let her shine. 💗✨

time to Topping

Been feeding just water ready for the chop. Some of them have all brown pistils and have pretty much stopped all together. The kalimist indica pheno is still flowering so I'll let it go until it looks ripe 👍

We are moving back inside so I can flower the plants on12/12 cleaned them up nicely with all lower shots removed haven't had 1 problem with these plants they pretty much taking care of themself and have big nice chunky stocks

Buds are dense..let's see how she weigh after drying

• FLOWERING WEEK #2 ✎ ANOTHER HEAVY LST

AVT is coming along nicely. Especially considering the abuse I put her through a few weeks ago. Buds are developing nicely and starting to get frosty 😃. I kind of dig the bonsai'ish shape she has near the top due to my over HST'ing. There will be no more abuse to this girl, only some defoliation as needed. AVT is front-left in the group pics.

Eccoci qui!!! Esperienza pazzesca ottima genetica le bimbe sono cresciute e maturate nonostante le temperature! Certo che ne vedremo delle belle!! Grazie a tutti del supporto e a @Fast_Buds per la collaborazione

Welcome to Flower Week 10 and harvest of Sensi Seeds Mandarine Jam I'm excited to share my grow journey with you from my Sensi Seeds Project . It's going to be an incredible ride, full of learning, growing, and connecting with fellow growers from all around the world! For this Project , I’ve chosen the Feminized Photo Strain Mandarine Jam: Here’s what I’m working with: • 🌱 Tent: 225x150x150 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: Sensi Seeds • 💧Strain Info : 20-23% • ⏳ Flowering Time: 7-8weeks

01/28/23 - Gave her another round of haircut and lollipop. Under the canopy looks lot cleaner. I have better air circulation and light penetration now. Defol also exposes lot more cola sites to the light. Hoping she doesn't go in shock since it's an auto. She is a late bloome, I am just starting to see more pistils. So most likely she will live in the tent for another couple months! 01/29/23 - She drank a gallon of fox farm nutrients (grow and bloom). I was worried about sending her in shock with latest defol. The way her canopy turned out a day later, absolutely gorgeous 😍! 02/01/23 - Frustratingly did another round of defoliation. I see pistils but she is not ready to come out of vegetation. I might contact ILGM to figure out what's going on here. 02/03/23- End of week 9 for this girl. Still in preflower. The bud sites are getting thicker and I am seeing more pistils. It's nowhere near where I want it to be but I've decided to give it the time it needs.

Die letzten Wochen vor der Ernte waren echt noch ein auf und ab der Gefühle. Das Wetter, sehr feucht und kalt, hat es mir leider echt schwer gemacht. Budrod in einer Cola der Pineapple Express 😮‍💨 Die Cola stand deutlich im Windschatten, deshalb hoffe ich, dass sich die Pilz nur in dem Mikroklima ausbreiten konnten, die Sporen sind ja aber überall... Jetzt hängt alles zum trocknen und ich muss die Buds genau untersuchen, später bei trimmen werde ich ganz genau jeden Bud mir von Innen anschauen. Außerdem ist mir die Lemon Orange deutlich abgekackt. Die krasse Geldfärbung kam innerhalb von zwei Tagen. Ich glaube es kam mit einer trockenen Phase mit hängenden Blättern kurz zuvor, in der ich 1-2 Tage zu spät gegossen habe. Hat das Bodenleben wohl garnicht verkraftet. Die Pineapple Express hat aber echt von allen den intensivsten und süßesten Duft. Update nach dem trocknen. Wirklich mit Abstand die schönsten Buds aus dem Grow. Der Geruch ist wirklich sehr intensiv, wirklich krasse terps. Süßlich, fruchtig, ein Schlag in die Fresse. Und high macht es auch echt ordentlich 🙏
