Looking stunning and have so far remain short and stocky. Did plenty of defoliation and will scrog them for fat colas. Flipped the switch and week 1 flower is in the books.

The first week of flower

Going nice;)))))

Tag 73: Viele Trichome der Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds sind schon Trübe, auch die meisten Blütenfäden sind orangefarben. Die Blüten sind sehr fest. Die Ernte der Watermelon Candy wird diesmal strikt nach dem idealen Mondstand erfolgen. Habt einen schönen Tag. 😀

~Entry for the 'Best Rarest & Smallest Pot by Seedsman' contest~ Starring 🤩.... ~ Seedsman Zkittlez Auto ~ Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto x Auto Fruit (Auto Fruit Cheese x Auto Blueberry) Zkittlez Auto is one of the very sweetest-tasting auto strains available anywhere. It is a sativa-dominant (60%) strain that was bred from Zkittlez (Grape x Grape Apple) Auto crossed with a male Fruit Kush Auto, the latter a remarkable fruity strain bred from Fruit Cheese Auto and Blueberry Auto. Growers can expect to harvest some good yields of high-THC buds. Zkittlez Auto remains a fairly short plant, rarely exceeding 120 cm. in height wherever it is grown. This is a vigorous plant which is able to metabolize a high level of nutrients and she's a thirsty girl too! If growing indoors close to neighbors it is strongly advised to ensure good and effective carbon air-filtration in order to neutralize powerful odors. This strain's life-cycle is approximately 90 days from seed to harvest. The leaves on this plant are big and wide serving to convert every lumen available into Zkittlez goodness. Indoor growers should obtain between 400 - 500 gr/m2 while plants cultivated outdoors will produce slightly more at 500 - 600 gr/m2. Lateral branching is very good and it is recommended to use supports/ties to prevent snapping and keep buds close to the light source. This strain's scent is sweet and fruity with candy and berry notes. Its high-THC has been measured at between 21 - 24% with less than 1% CBD. The effect is well-balanced, cerebral and euphoric, and is very good for social situations as well as for relaxing in front of the TV either alone or with company. It also has the added effect of helping to relieve chronic pain, helping with nausea, insomnia and depression as well as stimulating the appetite.** **Credit to Seedsman.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~ The Setup ~ ~ Grown in a 2qt plastic popcorn pot filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seed was germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Feeding will be by Dutch Pro Nutrients ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

This fine looking lady has been growing for 80 days since she broke ground and has turned out simply AMAZING! 🤩❤️ I'm flushing every day now with well water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 71℉ until I have good runoff and that's exactly what I did today in addition to giving her pot a 1/4 turn. 1/26- Today I flushed the Zkittlez Auto for the last time and I'm going to put her in the dark for 72 hours today after checking her trichomes one last time. 1/30- Yesterday the Seedsman Zkittlez Auto was released from 'Dark Jail' and looked absolutely amazing, covered in frost and sporting some gorgeous coloration on her flowers! After snapping some pic's I chopped and hung her to begin the drying/curing process. She's hanging in total darkness with a fan, de-humidifier and humidifier to keep the air circulating gently and the RH at 60% (I usually run the RH down to 50% for the first 24hrs, then up it to 60% for the remainder of the hanging time). The air temperature in my drying room stays a constant 53-60℉ which I find ideal for getting the drying time to the 12-14 days I like it to be to ensure a nice S L O W drying which, I've found, ensures a super delicious product after it's finished curing for 3-4 months in jars! This has been such a fun grow to participate in, and as always, I learned a few things I didn't know previously as I've always grown in much larger containers which made this grow that much more interesting to me! I hope you enjoyed following along half as much as I did growing this little gem from Seedsman Genetics, I truly appreciate all the love and positive comments that I've received throughout this run.... THANK YOU!❤️❤️❤️ See you at the Harvest! 😎🤙 ~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my grows and for all the ❤️and support you give! 💚What you grow - Grow what you💚

08/25 dry weight came in at 157 grams. Very happy with the second round grow of GG4, she produced a lot more bud with the extra veg time. While I enjoyed this strain, I am moving on from her, to other strains. Thanks for checking out my grow! 👽🌳🔥💚

So This week was the same as the last really, It seems all I have to do is sit back and watch these ladies do their thing! Ive not gone full on with the bloom supplements or PK yet as only 2/5 of the GG are seriously flowering. The other 3/5 GG are now Finally showing some signs of flower and some tops are starting to build and lowers producing more pistils each day! The Stardawgs continue to explode, even some friends who were sceptical about the performance of the Quantum board LED's have been flow away by the results. All of the buds seem to be building dramatically top to bottom which no shortage of frost! Macro shots on the way!!

Bending the plant makes it stronger

Day 65: All good they are stinky and getting ready soon. BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 will be harvested in 2 weeks so I started flushing them. Rest of them need more time at least 3 weeks or 4. Water intake 200 ml a day no more fertilization for Balckberry Kush and LSD-25. 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off humidity is low approx 35 percent.

Week 12 has started well. The flowers are still growing and the smell is still great :) I applied weekly nutrients on day 1 of week 12. On week 12 day 4 I added Z7 enzyme to my reservoir and I defoliated the girls to bring in more light to the lower canopy. On day 5 I decided to harvest two colas from Pheno 2. It seems to be finishing faster than the other phenos(mostly amber hairs although trichomes are not mature after closer inspection... I want to experience what effect I get from early harvest so to compare to later harvest. From now on I will leave the plants alone until they are all closer to harvest. 😅

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 💗👑 The Compact Princess Has Officially Stolen My Heart 🍇🌸✨ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I'm going to say it again. 😂 I know. I've said it before. I've probably said it too many times. And I'm probably going to say it again. But every time I take this girl out for a little walk into the studio... I'm reminded why. Pink Rosay is simply a pleasure. A genuine pleasure. 💗👑🌸 I love photographing her. I love looking at her. I love smelling her. I love watching her structure. I love watching her flowers develop. I love the way she carries herself. And honestly... I wish more plants were like her. 😂💗 Not because she's necessarily going to be the biggest producer in the room. I actually don't think she will be. And that's perfectly fine. Because there is so much more to a plant than the final number on a scale. There is the structure. The beauty. The personality. The aroma. The way she grows. The way she photographs. The way she makes you stop and look. The way she makes you want to take her into the studio again... just because you enjoy being around her. And Pink Rosay does all of that. Beautifully. 🍇💗👑 So this week... I don't even feel like I need to invent some dramatic story. She's still amazing. She's still doing her thing. She's still developing. And I'm still absolutely enjoying the privilege of watching her do it. Let's give our Compact Princess the spotlight she deserves. ──────────────────────── 👑 WEEK 13 – THE COMPACT PRINCESS There are plants you grow. There are plants you document. And then there are plants that become an experience. Pink Rosay is becoming that kind of plant for me. 😂💗 Every time I bring her into the studio, it feels like I'm taking a little piece of the grow room with me. And honestly? It's a pleasure. A delight. A privilege. She's simply beautiful. Not necessarily huge. Not necessarily the plant that's going to dominate the final yield chart. But beautiful. And sometimes... that's enough. Actually... sometimes that's more than enough. 🌸💗 Because when you have a plant that makes you genuinely enjoy the process of growing... that's something special. ──────────────────────── 🍇 THE AROMA IS STILL PART OF HER PERSONALITY And then there is the smell. 😂🍇 Of course there is. Because Pink Rosay doesn't seem to understand the concept of being subtle. She's compact. She's elegant. She's sitting there looking all pretty... and then the aroma arrives. 😂 That fruity sweetness. That grape-like character. That almost mature-vineyard impression I've been trying to describe. It's become part of her identity. And I love that. You can look at her... you can photograph her... you can admire her flowers... but then you get closer and suddenly: "Hello, Pink Rosay." 😂🍇💗 She reminds you that she's there. And I honestly wouldn't want it any other way. ──────────────────────── 💗 SHE MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE HER FOR A WALK I know this sounds ridiculous... but I genuinely enjoy taking this girl into the studio. 😂📸💗 It's one of those little moments in a grow that you don't really plan for. You simply pick up the plant... look at her... and think: "Come on, girl. Let's go take some photographs." 😂 And then you get her under the studio lights... you start looking through the camera... and suddenly you realize: there's another flower. Another angle. Another detail. Another beautiful little structure. Another shot you want to take. And before you know it... you've taken way too many photographs. 😂📸 But I don't care. She's worth it. ──────────────────────── 📸 A PHOTOGRAPHER'S DELIGHT Some plants are difficult to photograph. Some plants make you work for the shot. Some have structures where you have to move around constantly just to understand what's happening. Pink Rosay? She makes my life easy. 😂💗📸 Her structure has personality. Her flowers have character. Her proportions are beautiful. And the closer you look... the more detail appears. The flowers. The frost. The pistils. The texture. The little differences between the individual flowering sites. And then you step back... and suddenly the entire plant makes sense again. Compact. Balanced. Beautiful. Substantial. She's one of those plants where the camera doesn't have to exaggerate anything. It simply has to document what's already there. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BEAUTY DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN BIGGEST This is probably the biggest thought I have for this week. I honestly don't think Pink Rosay is going to be the biggest producer in the room. And you know what? I'm absolutely okay with that. 😂💗 Because if we're judging a plant only by grams... we're missing so much. Look at her. Look at the work she's giving us. Look at the structure. Look at the flowers. Look at the aroma. Look at the personality. Look at the photographs. Look at the enjoyment she brings to the process. That's all part of the result. Yield is one measurement. It isn't the entire experience. And Pink Rosay has already given me something that can't really be weighed. She has given me enjoyment. 💗🌸 And that's valuable. ──────────────────────── 👑 MY COMPACT PRINCESS I think this nickname is officially permanent. 😂💗👑 She's my Compact Princess. Not because she's tiny. Not because she's the smallest. Not because she needs to be protected from the giants around her. She's simply... compact. Elegant. Substantial. Beautiful. And full of personality. She's got presence without needing to take over the room. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate most. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl to be noticed. She simply walks into the room... and somehow... you notice. 😂💗 Especially with your nose. 🍇😂 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM. SAME WORLD. DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. And once again... we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One shared room. One overall environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. One nutritional foundation. One 12/12 schedule. And then... twelve individual personalities. Some plants are huge. Some are compact. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some are heavy. Some are elegant. Some are strange. Some are incredibly loud. And some... are Pink Rosay. 💗👑 That's why I love this experiment. We're not trying to make every plant behave the same. We're giving them the same opportunity... and watching what they decide to do with it. And Pink Rosay has decided: "I'm going to be beautiful." 😂 Fair enough. Mission accomplished. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT EXPRESSION The lighting environment remains part of the same upgraded setup across the 8×8 Adventure. The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures continue giving us more lighting capability and a broader lighting envelope. We're not simply throwing everything at maximum power. We're controlling the system. We're watching the plants. We're letting the genetics decide how they respond. And Pink Rosay? She's clearly happy with the arrangement. 💡☀️💗 The same photons that hit the rest of the room hit her. But what she does with them... that's her story. And this is exactly why I never get tired of looking at these plants side by side. Same sun. Different personalities. Different expressions. Different results. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE BIGGEST I actually think there's something beautiful about knowing she might not be the biggest producer... and loving her anyway. 😂💗 Because sometimes we become obsessed with numbers. How tall? How wide? How many grams? How much? How fast? And yes... those things matter. They're part of growing. But they're not everything. Sometimes a plant simply makes you feel something. You look at her... and you think: "Wow." That's Pink Rosay for me. And honestly... I'd rather have a plant that makes me excited to photograph her than a plant that gives me another hundred grams but makes me feel nothing. That's just my personal way of looking at it. And this girl? She makes me smile. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE DANCE OF PINK ROSAY There is something about the way she carries herself. I keep calling it her dance. 💗💃🌿 She's not rigid. She's not trying to prove anything. She's simply growing. Branch by branch. Flower by flower. Structure by structure. And when I look at her through the camera... I see movement. I see personality. I see a plant that somehow feels alive beyond simply being alive. And maybe that's why I enjoy her so much. She has character. You can feel it. You can see it. You can smell it. And that's rare. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL BEAUTIFUL Of course... we can't forget the frost. 😂❄️💗 The flowers continue looking beautifully developed. The resinous character is still one of the things that catches the camera. And the closer we get... the more details appear. Trichomes. Pistils. Flower texture. Sugar leaves. All those tiny details that make each flower its own little landscape. And I love bringing those details into the studio. Because when you're standing in the grow room... you see the plant. When you put a camera close to her... you discover another world. 📸🌸 And Pink Rosay has plenty of worlds hidden inside her flowers. ──────────────────────── 🍇 THE SMELL. THE LOOK. THE FEEL. This is probably why I keep coming back to her. It's not one thing. It's everything. The look. The structure. The flowers. The frost. The aroma. The compactness. The way she grows. The way she photographs. The way she makes me want to spend time with her. It's the whole package. And that's why I said earlier: It's an honor. It genuinely is. To have a cultivar like this in my hands... to be able to grow her... to document her... to watch her express herself... that's something I don't take for granted. 💗🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 AN HONOR TO GROW HER Sometimes you grow a plant and think: "Let's see what happens." And sometimes... you get lucky. You get something that makes you genuinely appreciate the privilege of growing. Pink Rosay has become one of those plants for me. I don't know what her final yield will be. I don't know exactly how she'll finish. I don't know what the final aroma will become. I don't know what the final flower structure will look like. And I don't need to know yet. Because I'm enjoying the journey. And that's the important part. The final number on the scale will eventually be there. But this moment? This experience? This can't be recreated. So I'm enjoying it. Every week. Every photograph. Every smell. Every little change. Every time I walk her into the studio. 💗📸🍇 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GROWER IS STILL MOSTLY WATCHING And once again... there isn't some huge intervention to report. 😂 And that's perfectly fine. At this stage, the major structural work is behind us. The plant is established. The flowers are established. The environment is established. The system is running. So my job becomes simpler. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Support. And when something actually needs attention... we respond. Otherwise? Get out of the way. 😂🌿 Let Pink Rosay be Pink Rosay. ──────────────────────── 🌱 SOMETIMES THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS ENJOY THE PLANT I've said this throughout the later weeks of the 8×8 Adventure... but I think Pink Rosay makes the point beautifully. You don't always need to do something. Sometimes you just need to appreciate what you've created. Or, more accurately... what the plant has created. 😂 We can provide the stage. We can provide the environment. We can provide the lighting. We can provide the nutrition. We can provide the support. But ultimately... the plant writes the story. And Pink Rosay is writing a beautiful one. 💗🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, I'm simply enjoying the progression. 🌸 Continued flower development. ❄️ Continued resin development. 🍇 Continued aroma development. 🌿 Overall plant health and maturity. 💗 Her structure and beautiful compact form. 📸 And, of course, every opportunity to photograph her. I'm not trying to force an ending. I'm not trying to predict her final production. I'm not trying to turn her into something she's not. I'm simply watching. And enjoying. And honestly... that's enough. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – AN HONOR Week 13. Pink Rosay Auto. Pheno A. My Compact Princess. 💗👑🍇 She's still amazing. She's still beautiful. She's still one of my favourites. And I still genuinely enjoy taking her for a walk into the studio. 😂📸 There is something about this girl that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the structure. Maybe it's the flowers. Maybe it's the aroma. Maybe it's the way she carries herself. Maybe it's simply the combination of everything. But whatever it is... she has it. And I honestly think that's more important than trying to predict whether she's going to be the biggest producer in the room. Maybe she won't be. Maybe another girl will absolutely destroy the scales. 😂⚖️🌿 And that's okay. Because Pink Rosay is giving us something different. She's giving us beauty. She's giving us personality. She's giving us aroma. She's giving us photographs. She's giving us a reason to stop. She's giving us a reason to smile. She's giving us a reason to appreciate the plant in front of us instead of simply waiting for the final number. And honestly... I think that's pretty damn special. 💗 It's truly an honor to have such a cultivar in my hands. To grow her. To watch her. To photograph her. To smell her. To document her. To learn from her. And to share her story with all of you. So yes... I'm repeating myself. 😂 She's beautiful. She's amazing. She's my favourite. And I love taking her into the studio. But if a plant keeps giving you reasons to say those things... why stop saying them? 😂💗👑 Pink Rosay... keep doing what you're doing. Keep dancing. Keep shining. Keep building. Keep smelling absolutely ridiculous. 😂🍇 And keep being the beautiful little princess you are. Because whatever happens with the final numbers... you've already given me something that can't be measured in grams. You've given me an experience. And that's an honor. 💗🌸🍇👑✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful moment with the Compact Princess. 💗👑 A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8×8 Adventure and share these individual journeys with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving me the opportunity to grow and experience this beautiful cultivar. 🌸💗 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. 🌱 A huge thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional fixtures that have allowed us to expand the lighting capability of the room. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the 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 message. Every person who takes the time to stop by and see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Pink Rosay? You remain one of my absolute favourites. 😂💗👑 Not because you're necessarily the biggest. Not because you're necessarily going to win the final weight competition. But because you're you. Beautiful. Compact. Frosty. Aromatic. Elegant. Full of personality. And genuinely a pleasure to grow. It's an honor to have you in my hands. It's an honor to document you. And it's an honor to share you with everyone following this adventure. So this week... the spotlight belongs to you. Again. 😂💗 Let's make you shine. Let's enjoy the views. Let's enjoy the smell. Let's enjoy the flowers. Let's enjoy the dance. And let's simply see where this beautiful girl decides to take us. No rushing. No forcing. No unnecessary interference. Just observation. Support. Appreciation. And a camera in my hands. 😂📸🌸 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the photons keep flying, the flowers keep developing, the aromas keep getting louder, the scales keep waiting for their turn, and our Compact Princess keeps reminding me that sometimes... the most memorable plant isn't necessarily the biggest one. Sometimes... she's simply the one you can't stop looking at. 💗👑🍇🌸✨ Pink Rosay... it is truly an honor. Keep shining.

Bud structure starting to fill out

Сорт однозначно рекомендую к выращиванию, стойкий и сильный, растет без проблем 😉 Дальше хочу попробовать вырастить два куста этого сорта в горшках по 3 литра, один будет расти без всяких вмешательств, второй будет с LST Всем спасибо и удачи 🍀 ✊

Week5 March 1st day 30 I transplanted one( the one with no broken branch) inti the 7gal today watered and did some LST I really hope it adapts to its new home I’ve never transplanted before I used extreme garden MYCOS hope it works also moved the light up a bit and plan on going 100% once I transplant the other one March 2nd transplanted the other one (broken branch one) my shop didn’t have 3.0😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 so i used DNC Great Lakes water only soil hopefully this works and I mixed some 3.0 I had left from the other pot cross fingers for nice transition to its new home March 5 been three days since transplant can’t really tell if they adapted to there new homes yet some sings of stretching since transplant I’ve never transplanted before and I’m not sure if they need water or not so imma chill let them go for couple more days then I’ll water scared to over water them right now since I transplanted them don’t want to over stress them other one in 3.0 seems little droopy to me compared to the one in Great Lakes but Great Lakes soil seems bit dry sooooo idk I’m going keep an eye on them

Siento que me pase de electroconductividad muchas veces en la etapa de transición (reforzando con calcio soluble) y se formaron esas hojas en forma de garra y bien finitas, ahora empezaron a quedar amarillas las puntas también entonces estoy casi que descartando la teoría del golpe de calor extremo, están engordando un poco más y empiezan a tener peso, puse una cuerda más de contención, voy a dar el último riego de esta semana como en la tabla seguido de trichoderma

Day 43 veg. These two girls are finally starting to get their feet planted and growing. I have been a little worried that having to hold the. back as I did the room upgrade and waiting for their NFT set up. C Banana has grown a lot of new growth Thisbweek and been stretching upward . I have been softening their stems and bending in the same place to encourage a nice thick repair and knuckle. I am planning to quadline them out and maybe a few 6-lined . The monster has been going well too. she is quite bushy now so hopefully will be a many headed beasty. The room is all set for the move to their NFT know so hopefully be in tomorrow and flipped in about 2 weeks time all being well.

Закончилось долгое увлекательное путешествие, мне даже немного грустно. В этот цикл я впервые попробовал технику мэйн-лайниг, надеюсь моя работа вам понравилась, я старался чтоб куст получился красивым. Хочу сказать спасибо сервису GrowDiaries - это уникальная база данных по выращиванию от тысяч гроверов со всего земного шара. Я, в свою очередь, в этом дневнике стрался очень подробно описывать и фотографировать все свои действия, возможно мой опыт также кому-то будет полезен. Отдельное спасибо всем, кто посетил и комметнировал мой дневник - вместе мы совершенствуем наше мастерство. 👉Забавный интересный факт👈 На приготовление компота для полива за весь цикл выращивания было использовано 241 литров воды 😉 Спасибо, что были на связи, и будьте здоровы! 🙏

Switched to 12/12 light schedule. 😎

The pheno 5 has started to throw out HAZEY smell in the tropical mix. I can smell the slightly musky/cheezy/spicy scents of the haze. I think this is a trait that I will have to consider throughout the selection, since that haziness is certainly something we want to have when experiencing the Liberty HAZE ;)
