🌸 Folder 09A | Pink Rosay Auto Week 2 – Building the Foundation of Something Special Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own diary and every plant is allowed to tell its own story. This week belongs to Pink Rosay Auto 09A. From the moment she settled into her new home, she has done little else but impress. Strong growth. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. And perhaps most exciting of all… An incredible willingness to respond to every bit of training she’s received. Some plants fight you. Others work with you. Pink Rosay A already feels like she’s becoming a true partner in this grow. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions Every plant in the project continues growing under identical environmental conditions, allowing each phenotype to express its own unique characteristics without external variables influencing the comparison. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres The room continues to remain exceptionally stable, providing the perfect environment for healthy root development and vigorous vegetative growth. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program Pink Rosay A continued following the complete Plagron Terra nutrition schedule throughout the week. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The feeding remains intentionally balanced, encouraging explosive root expansion while supplying everything needed for strong structural growth before flowering accelerates. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week has been nothing short of impressive. Every few days she seemed noticeably larger than before. Her central stem has thickened considerably while producing a wonderfully even distribution of side branches that are already beginning to compete with the main leader. The internodal spacing remains tight without becoming overcrowded, creating a compact yet highly productive structure. One of the most enjoyable aspects of watching this phenotype has been the speed at which she responds. Almost overnight, new shoots emerge from every node, eager to occupy every bit of available light. Her leaves display excellent colour, healthy turgor and outstanding vigor, all clear signs that the root system is developing exactly as hoped. She simply looks happy. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress This week focused on gentle canopy management and encouraging an even distribution of future flowering sites. Daily leaf tucking exposed developing secondary branches while maintaining excellent airflow through the centre of the plant. Gentle low-stress training helped guide the main branches outward, opening the canopy without slowing her impressive rate of development. What stands out most is how naturally she responds. Every adjustment seems to trigger another burst of growth. Rather than showing signs of stress, she appears to embrace the extra light reaching the lower branches, rewarding each training session with even more vigorous development. It’s exactly the kind of response every grower hopes to see. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s photographs tell the story beautifully. Early overhead shots reveal a compact young plant already displaying remarkable symmetry. As the week progresses, that symmetry evolves into a broad, balanced canopy with fan leaves stretching confidently toward the edges of the pot. The macro images highlight vigorous new shoots emerging from every node, each one already preparing to become a future flowering branch. Side profile photographs showcase the increasingly thick central stem supporting a canopy that is becoming wider rather than taller—a fantastic trait for maximizing light distribution under the LED. By the final images of the week, she has transformed from a promising seedling into a confident young plant full of potential. It’s one of those weeks where the camera truly captures the speed of healthy development. ⸻ 🌸 Looking Ahead The coming week promises to be an exciting one. With her vigorous response to training and naturally balanced architecture, I expect the canopy to continue widening as secondary branches rapidly catch up with the main stem. As flowering begins to approach, the structure already being established should provide an excellent framework capable of supporting numerous evenly developed bud sites. If she continues growing with this level of consistency, Pink Rosé A has every opportunity to become one of the stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. She isn’t simply growing. She’s building something. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you for following another chapter of this incredible journey. Every week reinforces one simple truth: when genetics, environment and careful cultivation come together, each plant reveals a personality entirely its own. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can document their successes, learn from one another and celebrate this amazing passion together. A huge thank you to Plagron for supplying the Terra nutrient line that continues to deliver vigorous, healthy growth with remarkable consistency throughout every stage of this project. To the breeders behind these beautiful genetics—thank you for the dedication, patience and years of work that make adventures like this possible. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries. Your encouragement, your questions, your advice and your shared enthusiasm are what make this community so special. The 8×8 Adventure continues… One phenotype. One lesson. One beautiful surprise at a time. Growers Love 🌱💚

Week three is here and it has been pretty damn warm. Some leaves are curling on the edges but overall not too bad. Thankfully, it is starting to cool down a little bit

Switched from 24/0 to 12/12 at the end of day 14, also switched the 730nm Led's on. Its been 7 days the plants have started growing a lot faster but there's still no pistils showing. I started feeding biobizz grow @ 2ml/l At the moment there getting watered every 3-4 days. The light is showing 25000lux on a lux meter app.

Well it was a fast strain just like they say, it comes and goes in 8 to 9 weeks easily, I just added a week to fatten up the buds, I am very impressed what these boys in Cali are creating, kudos FB! I am sure I will be satisfied once I get to actually taste my cookies. PS - does anyone know if i input my Grow room size correct, my tent is 80cm x 80cm x 100cm, thanks for any help!😋00

So Ill start by talking about her smell. Maria has been super super low key in that so far my room has not stank of weed super badly. My room was fresh and had a herby comforting lining, but no blue-cheese-skunk-on-the-loose type scenario. But when you frisked up Maria, a persons nostrils might describe it something like ...walking through a mystical forrest eating your favourite candy, after you've just blessed a fat one with Bob Marley.. its a feeling not a smell. But if you were to describe it, its like a summer fucking cocktail' bish. She has also started to show some red hairs, Id say about 1/3 of her hair is ginger at this point. I think a point to note is that she has been drinking a lot more water (About 3l water every 3 days) as she's bulked up and started to shine. Im super happy with the grow so far; Ive made mistakes, and not all circumstances have been ideal. BUT, its been such a rewarding experience so far and I'm also glad I got to start with fucking dank genetics from Dinafem. You guys are fuckin' super stars. Ive been supplementing her with some LOVE. I can not get over how beautiful it is?! Cannabis is just so mystical? Being my first grow I'd still never got to see a late flowering cannabis plant in my life! I grew up in Dubai where Cannabis is hecticly-illegal, and lived in cities thereafter most my life. Maria is like a child who I will later kill in her sleep before she wakes up and hang upside down in my cupboard to dry out. But I truly love this plant.

Plant seems to be growing well, she’s has some nice fans. I’ll be transplanting some time next week. Topped her this week too.

Wieder zurück, Musste mich um alte Blätter und LST kümmern. Mal schauen was das noch wird. Brauchen auf jeden Fall noch ein bisschen.

Couldn’t be happier with those ladies. they growing strong and look super healthy, I will keep feeding them the same nutrients for the next 3 weeks. 🙏🙏

Oh dear, oh dear—almost two weeks have gone by and the cat hasn’t posted an update. I’m so sorry! And apologies for the poor video quality. As you can see, my smartphone isn’t exactly top-notch. Well, maybe MP4 isn’t the best format either. 😂 At least you can tell that things are coming to an end—for three of the four ladies, that is, if you don’t count the Medical Mass. The Eleven Roses, Sugar Black Rose, and Lemon Gazzy are the most advanced at the moment, while the Strawberry Blue has benefited immensely from the recent very warm days with lots of sunshine. If the weather turns out as forecast, I’ll leave them to grow for at least another week. Maybe I’ll take a peek at our little trichome friends. I could pick a little flower from the bottom… just to have a look at it and maybe… try it. xD I’d like to let the Strawberry Blue stay out a little longer. I think another two weeks would really do her good. Since she already looks very sativa-dominant based on her appearance and flower structure, she probably won’t develop quite as thick and resin-covered buds as her counterparts.

This one's been a breeze... The wife's following the book word for word and the plant is doing what I was sowed to do... Just a little cal mag in the pH 6 water and she's living her best life. More and more pistils are popping and the bud sites are all stretching to even out the canopy. Good genetics and proper care... Can't wait to see what the effects of this lady are as the stem rub has a skunk and earthy smell that just gives you an old skool vibe. I expect her to really start to stack up this week and then begin swelling those calyxes through to the end!

Lampa na 50%. 65cm po LST 70cm. Warunki temperatury i wilgotności stabilne. Wydaje mi się ze po LST rośliny stanęły. Zobaczymy jak będzie dalej. Opóźniona panna bez LST.

Blütetag 66 / Tag 126 – Final Ripening – Kush bereit, Gusher kocht noch Der Dutch Passion Double Run geht jetzt klar in die finale Reifephase. Beide Pflanzen zeigen sehr deutlich ihre genetischen Unterschiede – vor allem beim Reifetempo. Während die Triangle Sherbet Kush schon stark nach Ernte aussieht, lässt sich die White Gusher 33 noch etwas Zeit. 🌡️ Klima Klimatisch wurde es diese Woche wieder etwas kühler und feuchter. Das merkt man im Zelt sofort: Die Luftfeuchtigkeit steigt schneller und der VPD wird etwas schlechter. Ohne Klimaanlage lässt sich das nicht immer perfekt ausgleichen, aber in dieser späten Phase dürfte das die Pflanzen nicht mehr wesentlich beeinträchtigen. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus Beide Pflanzen befinden sich sichtbar im Endspurt, allerdings mit unterschiedlichem Tempo. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wirkt inzwischen nahezu ausgereift. Die Buds sind massiv angeschwollen, dicht und schwer. Viel Wachstum passiert nicht mehr – sie konzentriert sich jetzt hauptsächlich auf Reife und Harzproduktion. Auch die Blattstellung zeigt das deutlich: Viele Fächerblätter stehen im typischen Kanu-Modus und wirken fast unbeweglich. Die Pflanze signalisiert ziemlich klar, dass sie langsam fertig ist. Die White Gusher 33 dagegen braucht noch etwas Zeit. Sie wirkt insgesamt etwas aktiver und schiebt stellenweise sogar noch leicht nach, obwohl einige Buds schon recht weit aussehen. Struktur / Genetikvergleich Gerade jetzt zum Ende wird der genetische Unterschied besonders sichtbar. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush bringt klassische Kush-Struktur: extrem kompakte, schwere Buds, dicht gestapelt und massiv angeschwollen. Die Blüten wirken fast wie gegossen. Die White Gusher 33 ist ebenfalls sehr frostig und kompakt, wirkt aber insgesamt etwas struppiger und leicht blättriger aufgebaut. Zwischen den Buds sitzt etwas mehr kleines Blattmaterial, und durch das leichte Foxtailing wirkt die Struktur lebendiger. Kurz gesagt: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: kompakte, schwere Kush-Buds • White Gusher 33: etwas sativa-lastigere Struktur mit Foxtails 🔬 Blütestatus / Trichome Bei der Triangle Sherbet Kush sind bereits einige bernsteinfarbene Trichome sichtbar. Viele Köpfe sind milchig, aber noch nicht vollständig durchgehend trüb. Eigentlich wäre sie schon fast im Erntefenster, darf oben aber ruhig noch etwas weiter Richtung Bernstein gehen, damit auch die unteren Buds sauber ausreifen. Die White Gusher 33 ist hier noch etwas zurück. Milchige Trichome nehmen zwar zu, aber Bernstein ist noch kaum vorhanden. Dazu kommt, dass sie stellenweise weiterhin Foxtails bildet – teilweise sogar an kleineren Buds, bei denen man dachte, sie wären schon fertig. Genau das macht das Timing etwas tricky. Was beide Pflanzen aber deutlich gezeigt haben: Diese Woche wurde noch einmal kräftig eingezuckert. Die Harzproduktion hat sichtbar zugelegt und der Geruch wird zunehmend stechender und intensiver. 💧 Pflege Die Nährstoffphase ist abgeschlossen. Gegossen wird jetzt nur noch mit klarem Wasser, damit die Pflanzen sauber in die Endreife laufen können. ⏳ Ausblick Jetzt beginnt das klassische Ernte-Timing-Spiel. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wäre vom Gefühl her eigentlich schon bereit. Die White Gusher 33 braucht dagegen noch ein wenig Zeit. Darum heißt es jetzt: Geduld. Eine Ernte in etwa einer Woche ist gut möglich – es kann aber auch sein, dass die White Gusher noch etwas länger stehen bleibt. Viel fehlt auf jeden Fall nicht mehr. 🏁 Wochenfazit Kush ist bereit. Gusher braucht noch. Grow on 🌱 Rocko Flower Day 66 / Day 126 – Final Ripening – Kush ready, Gusher still cooking The Dutch Passion Double Run is now clearly entering the final ripening phase. Both plants are showing their genetic differences very clearly – especially when it comes to ripening speed. While the Triangle Sherbet Kush already looks very close to harvest, the White Gusher 33 still wants a little more time. 🌡️ Climate The climate this week became a bit cooler and more humid again. You notice that immediately in the tent: humidity rises faster and the VPD drops slightly. Without an AC it’s not always easy to balance perfectly, but at this late stage it shouldn’t affect the plants too much anymore. 🌿 Plant Status Both plants are clearly in the final stretch, but moving at different speeds. The Triangle Sherbet Kush now looks almost fully matured. The buds are massively swollen, dense and heavy. There isn’t much growth happening anymore – it seems to focus mainly on ripening and resin production. The leaf posture also says a lot: many fan leaves sit in the typical canoe position and hardly move anymore. The plant clearly signals that it’s almost finished. The White Gusher 33, on the other hand, still needs a bit more time. She looks slightly more active overall and in some places she even keeps pushing a little more, although some buds already look quite advanced. Structure / Genetic Expression At this stage the genetic differences become especially visible. The Triangle Sherbet Kush shows classic Kush structure: extremely compact, heavy buds stacked tightly and swollen to the maximum. The White Gusher 33 is also very frosty and compact, but overall appears a bit rougher and slightly leafier. There are more small sugar leaves between the buds, and the light foxtailing gives the flowers a more lively structure. In short: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: dense, heavy Kush buds • White Gusher 33: slightly more sativa-leaning structure with foxtails 🔬 Flower Status / Trichomes The Triangle Sherbet Kush already shows some amber trichomes. Many heads are milky, though not completely cloudy yet. She’s basically already inside the harvest window, but it wouldn’t hurt if the top buds develop a little more amber so the lower buds can fully mature as well. The White Gusher 33 is still slightly behind. Milky trichomes are increasing, but amber is still rare. She is also still producing some foxtails, even on smaller buds where you would think development was already finished. One thing that became very obvious this week though: Both plants got noticeably more frosty. Resin production clearly increased and the smell is getting sharper and more intense. 💧 Care The nutrient phase is finished. From now on the plants are only getting plain water as they move into the final ripening stage. ⏳ Outlook Now it becomes the classic harvest timing game. The Triangle Sherbet Kush feels almost ready already. The White Gusher 33, however, still needs a bit more time. So for now it’s simply about waiting a little longer. Harvest in about one week seems possible – but it could also be that the White Gusher stands a bit longer. The finish line is very close now. 🏁 Weekly Summary Kush is ready. Gusher still needs time. Grow on 🌱 Rocko

Starting to fatten up now, very nice smell to her. Looking forward to the final product Going to start slowly dropping EC this week

Semana 5 ( 05Nov-11Nov) Única rega da semana foi dia 11Nov. Os nutrientes foram misturados em 1,5L de água. Primeira dose de Bloom administrada.

now it's time to see really what's King Kong... all this week only with PK, no more C4 :)

Quasi ci siamo al raccolto 🍬

07/15/2025 Started veg week by transplanting an AK 2.0 into a 20 gallon fabric pot others will be going into 3 gallon nursery pot. The 20 gallon fabric pot is in second year of growing, is amended with Carbon G (Lesco) worm castings and other organic stuff I can't remember, (Coast of Maine Stonington Blend 5-2-4) plant food and top pot off with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend soil, but I want to make it a no till type bed. I've also been watering pots with BIO-REMEDY to insure plenty of microbial activity in plants root zone and nemetodes too! See ya next week.

Hello colleagues! This week I added a lamp with far-red diodes, returned the blue ones, and now I have even brighter colors in my box. 😎 Thin branches begin to bend and break - I tie them up. I'm reaching the finish line. Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

una pianta eccezionale, coniglierei a tutti di coltivarla, ho avuto un raccolto strabiliante quindi non mi posso lamentare di nulla, anzi! come sempre daz mi impressiona!
