🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 💗 Compact. Charming. Frosty. And Still One of My Absolute Favourites. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... I don't think I'm going to get tired of saying this. I wish I had more plants like this one. 😂💗 Because every time I look at Pink Rosay Pheno A, I have exactly the same thought: "Why can't they all be this easy?" 😂 She's in full auto mode now. She's growing. She's developing. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. But she's doing it in the most beautifully compact way possible. She's not trying to take over the room. She's not reaching for the ceiling. She's not creating some enormous structure that requires an engineering degree to navigate. She's simply... growing. Beautifully. Compactly. Efficiently. And carrying some absolutely gorgeous flowers. This girl has charm. And the more I watch her develop, the more I appreciate it. 💗🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The idea behind this project is simple: Give twelve different plants essentially the same opportunity... and let them show us what they can do. Same room. Same general environment. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different personalities. And Pink Rosay Pheno A continues to be one of the clearest examples of why this experiment is so much fun. Because while some plants use the same environment to become enormous... this girl seems to have decided: "Thank you for all the photons. I'll just make every centimetre count." 😂💗 And I absolutely love that. ──────────────────────── 💗 I Still Wish They Were All Like Her I said it last week. I'm saying it again. And I'll probably say it again next week. I wish I had more plants like this one. 😂 Not because I don't love the big girls. I absolutely do. There is something incredible about seeing a huge plant filling a space with enormous branches and massive flowering structures. Those plants are spectacular. But... they can also be a pain in the ass to manage. 😂 Moving them. Reaching around them. Getting the camera into the right position. Checking everything. Making space. Working around branches. Trying not to knock something over. And then there's Pink Rosay. "Hello, little lady." Pick her up. Move her. Inspect her. Photograph her. Put her back. Done. 😂💗 And somehow... she's carrying flowers that look like they belong on a much larger plant. That's what gets me. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Compact Frame. Huge Flower Presence. This girl is still proving that size doesn't tell the whole story. She's compact. She's manageable. She's easy to work with. But look at those flowers. The formation is beautiful. The buds are developing into substantial, impressive structures. The density is becoming one of her defining characteristics. And the frost? Absolutely on point. ❄️❄️❄️ This is one of those plants where you can look at the overall structure and think: "That's a small plant." Then you look closer... and suddenly: "Wait a minute..." 😂 Because the flowers completely change the perspective. She's not wasting much of her available space. She's putting her energy into building beautiful flowering structures. And I think that's part of the charm of this phenotype. She doesn't need to be enormous to make an impression. She just needs to be herself. And she's doing that extremely well. ──────────────────────── ✨ The Charm of Pink Rosay I used the word "charm" earlier. And I think that's exactly what it is. There's something about this phenotype that makes me smile. Maybe it's the proportions. Maybe it's the compact architecture. Maybe it's those beautiful flowers. Maybe it's the way the buds are developing. Maybe it's the frost. Maybe it's simply the fact that she's so damn easy to love. 😂💗 She's not dramatic. She's not demanding. She's not trying to prove anything. She's just quietly getting on with the job. And somehow... she keeps getting more beautiful. That's a pretty wonderful personality to have in a room full of twelve very different plants. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Is Definitely Showing Up The resin development is another part of this girl that I really enjoy watching. As the flowers continue developing, the frost becomes increasingly obvious. Those little sparkling details start showing themselves everywhere. From a distance, you see the flowers. Get closer... and suddenly the whole thing becomes a completely different world. Trichomes. Resin. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Tiny textures everywhere. This is one of those stages where macro photography becomes especially addictive. 😂📸 Because every time you zoom in, there's another little detail waiting to be discovered. And Pink Rosay gives the camera plenty to work with. ──────────────────────── 📸 A Photographer's Dream I've said this before... but it remains true. Pink Rosay is incredibly easy to photograph. And that's not a small thing when you're documenting twelve different plants. Some plants make you work for the shot. You have to move around them. Find an opening. Move a branch. Change the camera position. Try not to bump into something. 😂 Pink Rosay? She basically cooperates. She's compact enough that I can get around her. Her flowers are accessible. Her structure is easy to understand. And once the camera gets close... she starts telling her own story. Wide shot: "Nice little plant." Closer shot: "Okay..." Macro: "Holy shit, look at that frost." 😂💗❄️ That's exactly what I love about photographing plants. The closer you get, the more complicated and beautiful the story becomes. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Eating Photons The room continues operating under the same upgraded lighting setup. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the room's lighting ecosystem. After adding the two extra Black Series 600W fixtures, the initial output was higher than we wanted, so we reduced the power to approximately 59% from the plug. The result? Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with the intensity naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. And Pink Rosay? She's using those photons in her own way. Some plants respond to the same environment with enormous vertical growth. Some create wider structures. Some build huge canopies. And this little lady seems to say: "I don't need to be tall. Just give me the photons and watch what I do with them." 😂💗 And honestly... I'm impressed. ──────────────────────── 💡 More Capability Without Chasing Maximum Power One thing I really like about this lighting upgrade is that we don't need to run everything at full power simply because the fixtures are capable of it. Having more lighting capacity gives us flexibility. We can distribute the photons across the room. We can reach the canopy properly. And we can dial the output back to where we actually want it. That's a very different thing from simply turning everything to 100% and calling it a day. The goal is not maximum power. The goal is providing the room with the right lighting environment. And right now, Pink Rosay seems very happy with what she's receiving. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures for us to test in this adventure. 🙏💡 They've added another dimension to the room, and it's fascinating watching all these different phenotypes respond to the same photons in completely different ways. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Nutrition — Another Small Step Forward The nutrition program has also been updated across the room. Terra Bloom has been increased from: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L Alongside: 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required The increased Terra Bloom has brought the solution strength slightly higher, currently around: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm And Pink Rosay continues looking happy with the program. Again... we're not trying to reinvent the wheel. The environment is stable. The nutrition is consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The plant is developing beautifully. So our job is mostly to provide the conditions... and let her do the rest. ──────────────────────── ✂️ No Need to Overcomplicate a Good Thing One of the things I appreciate most about Pink Rosay is that she doesn't constantly ask for intervention. The major structural work was already done earlier. She's healthy. She's accessible. Her flowers are visible. Her canopy is manageable. And now? We're mostly observing. There is absolutely no prize for using scissors just because you have scissors. 😂✂️ Sometimes the best thing you can do for a plant is stop trying to find something to do to it. Healthy leaves are still working. Flowers are developing. The structure is functioning. So we let her continue. Water. Nutrition. Light. Environment. Observation. And a little bit of love. That's enough. ──────────────────────── 💧 Week 11 — Same Room, Same Girl, More Flower The room remains stable and the overall strategy is unchanged. Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same general care. Same upgrades. Different plant. And Pink Rosay continues proving exactly why phenotype variation is so fascinating. ──────────────────────── 🌸 She's Doing Her Own Thing There's something almost funny about watching this girl. She's clearly in auto mode. She's developing at her own rhythm. She's progressing. She's building flowers. She's getting frosty. She's becoming more substantial. But she isn't doing any of it in a dramatic way. She's just... doing it. 😂💗 No giant stretch. No enormous footprint. No "move me or I will take over the tent" attitude. Just: "Here are my flowers. They're getting bigger. They're getting prettier. And yes, I'm going to keep doing this." 😂 I can respect that. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Environment. Completely Different Expression. This is one of the parts of the 8×8 Adventure that I never get tired of. We can provide essentially the same environment to all twelve plants... and they interpret it completely differently. Same photons. Same room. Same schedule. Same nutrition. Same irrigation philosophy. And yet one plant stretches. Another stays compact. One builds long branches. Another builds dense clusters. One demands space. Another makes every centimetre count. And Pink Rosay? She's showing us what her particular genetics want to do. Compact. Beautiful. Dense. Frosty. Manageable. Charming. That's her story. ──────────────────────── 💗 One of the Plants I Really Don't Want to End I'm going to be honest... these are the plants that make me wish the diary didn't eventually have to end. 😂 Because she's just so enjoyable to watch. Every week I look at her and think: "Yep. Still love this one." She's not necessarily the biggest plant. She's not trying to win a height competition. She's not trying to dominate the room. But she keeps catching my attention. And maybe that's the most important thing. Because sometimes a plant doesn't need to be spectacular from across the room. Sometimes you get closer... and that's when the magic happens. Pink Rosay is one of those plants. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now I'm genuinely curious to see where this little powerhouse takes us. The flower formation is beautiful. The buds are substantial. The frost is impressive. The plant remains compact. And she's continuing to develop in her own unmistakable way. So I'm not going to try to predict the ending. I'm just going to keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep documenting. Keep providing the environment. And let Pink Rosay reveal the final version of herself when she's ready. That's the fun part. We don't need to rush the story. We just need to let her finish writing it. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Give This Girl Her Spotlight Week 11. And once again... I wish I had more plants like this one. 😂💗 She's compact. She's beautiful. She's easy to manage. She's easy to move. She's easy to photograph. She's developing impressive flowers. Her bud formation is absolutely beautiful. Her frost is on point. And she carries herself with this quiet little charm that I genuinely love. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the room, there are plants that require a navigation system just to walk around them. 😂🌳 And Pink Rosay is sitting there like: "I don't know what their problem is." 😂💗 She's proof that bigger isn't automatically better. Sometimes a smaller plant can be incredibly impressive when she knows exactly how to use the space she's given. And this girl? She knows. She doesn't need another metre of height. She doesn't need a massive footprint. She doesn't need to fill every corner. She just needs to keep doing what she's already doing. Growing. Stacking. Frosting. Building. Shining. And being completely, unapologetically Pink Rosay. 💗🌸❄️✨ So yes... I'll say it again. I wish I had more plants like her. But then again... if every plant behaved like Pink Rosay, we'd lose some of the madness that makes the 8×8 Adventure so much fun. 😂 So I'll keep the giants. I'll keep the wild ones. I'll keep the difficult ones. I'll keep the plants that make me work for every photograph. Because they're all part of the experiment. But this little lady? She's getting a very special place in my heart. Compact frame. Massive flower presence. Beautiful formation. Serious frost. And an enormous amount of charm. Pink Rosay Pheno A... you've absolutely earned your spotlight. 💗🌸✨ Keep shining, little lady. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8×8 Adventure and share these individual stories week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics behind this beautiful phenotype. 💗🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. 🌱 Thank you to Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the 8×8 Adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week spent following these girls. It all becomes part of the story. And Pink Rosay Pheno A? She's certainly writing one of my favourite chapters. Small. Compact. Frosty. Beautiful. Easy to manage. And carrying flowers that make her look anything but small. 💗🌸❄️✨ Let's keep giving her what she needs... and let her do what she does best. Shine. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🌸

This week, the plants have shown strong growth, with nearly 10cm of height gained. Dominant branches are starting to emerge, though all the shoots are making their way towards the light. The plants are very thirsty, requiring more water, and I've removed a few side branches and shading leaves to improve airflow and light penetration.

Very saddened by the turn of events, 3 herms, 2 different grow environments, but each tent had another strain growing along with it. No seeds or problems with the Cookies strain… I had no power outages, no light leaks, no schedule changes, and performed relatively little defoliation during flower. To me, this cannot be attributed to stress, as they showed no sign of stress or deficiency’s throughout the grow. Long story short, booooooo.

This being my first time growing auto's, I didn't know what to expect. Out of the gates they grew rapidly, last week they seemed to slow a bit and started to flower. Plant #1 seems to be growing slightly faster than #2, but not by much. The SOG on each of these spans 18'' x 18''. I have trained these girls much more than I normally do, and am very happy I did so. I have looked around at other diary's that have ran these GSC and I am anxious to see what this week brings!

Moved the grow to the basement which caused my plants to have to readjust to the new environmental norm. It's quite a bit colder down there so I used a flood light to bring up the heat outside of the tent and had a few days of 24 hour light cycle to warm up the tent's interior environment. Once the air and reservoir warmed up enough, the plants started happily eating and showing me how much they love their new home. ✌️❤️🏡

07/09/2026 New week folks! This week is kinda busy. I have to either lift the light or drop the intensity. I personally would turn the light up to level 6. For the time being that is. I think I get to use a much higher intensity with the thingy I have. We'll see. It's a 500 watt light, so I have plenty light to work with. She is growing quite rapidly at least the leVes are all getting bigger. Readings: pH: 6.31 EC: 2.21 TDS: 1.57 Evening Readings: Temp: 68° I think I'm gonna change the water out instead of mixing a new gallon. I really don't want to though. It's wasting my poor nutrients. DLI: 42 mol PPFD: 631 PPFD 09/10/2026 The goal this week is clearing out the big leaves and cover leaves. Readings: pH: 6.3 (very steady) but it needs to be closer to 5.8 just don't know how. EC: 2.18 cU? The thing changed on me. TDS: 1.55 ppm? Temp: 70.1° ice bottle added. I'd like to keep it below 70°, like 65° would be good. Update: I have decided to defoliate my plant today. I've already removed a few branches that just won't reach through the canopy. I'm also taking all the big leaves off. The ones with purple stems seem to be a sign of readiness to me. That was quick. Lol there's a whole bunch. So I've got my work cut out for me. 07/11/2026 Readings: pH: 6.26 EC: 2.27 ? TDS: 2.28 ? Temp: 68.2° 07/12/2026 Readings: pH: 6.3 EC: 2.19 mS TDS: 1.6 ppt? Temp: 69.1° will drop a bit more. With the ice bottle, it'll cool down much faster. Granted it was 70° when I first opened the bucket. I took some more foliage and a few lower sites and branches that weren't going to make it. 07/13/2026 Readings: pH: 6.33 EC: 2.44 TDS: 1.74 Temp: 67.5° Honestly I'm not sure how it changes, but I have people trying to explain. Lol. My meter reads in both ppm and cm. I'm still not seeing how the TDS is higher than the EC. I'm confused. I've been topping her off with a half mix of nutes for now. Also I also increased the Hydroguard to 5 ml per gallon. I will get this brown stuff somehow. Hopefully it will clear up before I flip to flower. But there is so much root mass. I don't think it's getting all the bubbles. I have 3 air stones in there. It can't be oxygen related. Environmental is also out of the question. My system is pretty on point now. The water temp is fine as well. Just around 67°. I feel like I'm missing something. I'll update if I remember. 07/14/2026 Readings: pH: EC: TDS: Temp: She's about a half inch away from the net. She'll definitely be touching the net at some point today or grown over the net. That would be cool. I have a few promising tops. They are a little low, but I'm hoping for the next week and a half to really get some growth. And the trellis is gonna be used hardcore. I'm gonna weave this fucker like a bad sweater maybe. LMAO. She also looks great! The leaves are still kinda canoeing. Is the light actually that bright?! I need a person here to look at it and say yep or nope. Lol anyway, it looks more like they are opening up them old wrinkles. That has to be it. There's no way a photoperiod takes less than a DLI of 31.2 mol at this age. Nope. A+ environment. AI is coming through! 76° and 60% humidity. Readings: After a 1 gallon top off. pH: 6.26 EC: 2.69 TDS: 1.92 Temp: 67.8° I think I'm gonna do a plain water bucket with hydroguard for a couple days for the flowering period. 07/15/2026 Readings: pH: 5.88 EC: 2.41 mS TDS: 1.84 Temp: 67.5° Light changes: I added the light from the net distance. DLI: 41.2 mol. PAR: 621 ppfd Distance:: 24" 07/16/2026 We have touchdown! More like kissed.. Not completely, but there's a few leaves that grew over the net along with a top or two. Still touchdown. Ice bottle was replaced this morning. I also topped her off about 3/4 gallon. It brought the roots down a bit so they're fully under water. Just below the net pot. I know it should be 1" to 2" inches between the water and the net cup, but the roots are also important. Not to mention how fast she's taking the water down. She'll need another half gallon tomorrow morning. Maybe more. When I changed the ice bottles out, the roots blocked the bottom of the bucket, so I had to put my ice bottle in the one spot. With roots under it. I might be able to move them. With a paint stick. Lucky I have 3 air stones in the bucket. The only place it's not bubbling is by the access panel. The rest is a bubbly haven for dirty roots. The only thing is, the roots are officially too big for the bucket. Again. Sweeet. Now I just need a bigger bucket. Lol. A quick look at the leaves. They look fantastic. Beautiful rich green. Spreading out the wrinkles to make her big and strong. I had to pull some off as I went looking around at the plant. So far, I don't have any dead or dying leaves. So that's good. Oh and she SMELLS.iem wow. She smells. Good aroma. Powerful too. And we haven't even hit flower yet. Oh no. Not sure how I'm gonna keep the smell locked in while I'm working on the plant. Lol. No bueno indeed. Readings: pH: 6.3 EC: 2.93 TDS: 2.08 Temp: 65.1° Update: So I took a decent amount of lowers off today. All the bud sites that will be larf. Still needs to be cleared out. I also took a few leaves off. Everything that was pointing inward. I still have more to go, but I'm gonna wait for next week to pull the rest off. 08/19/2926 I added a time lapse video today. It's a month long instead of the weekly I was considering. You know, for more "meat" as it were.

4/28/25 chopped at day 54 of flowering. Top buds have a nice amount of amber trichomes. was going to let her go another week but the threat of pests made me chop early but its okay shes ready. will update with final weight and smoke report in a week or so. 5/5/25 dried for 7 days and then jarred. i am finding that she was self producing fairly lowkey and successfully. balls and male parts with seeds right below. Probably wont continue with these seeds and i tossed the clones. This plant is white with the density of trichomes on her. She would probably test fairly high.

Noch nicht fertig... Viele Trichomköpfe sind schon milchig, aber nur sehr wenige braun und oxidiert. Teilweise sind sie eher noch halb durchsichtig. Daher darf sie wohl noch ein paar Tage leben... entlaubt ist sie schon.
