So think by far the best of the bunch is one pheno of b-45. Insane structure, just the right amount of internodal spacing, huge nugs definitely bigger than golf balls. Tons of frost and very nice kush/citrus terps. Not to mention deep purple colours on the buds and the leaves despite not lowering the temps. Very curious to see what she will bring to the scales but I’m pretty sure she’s above 120g. True winner. Got her clones going and hope the clones will maintain the quality despite stress. Had some quality deterioration happen for some clones, but did my share of mistakes and learned some lessons. I am disappointed sa far in blue Zushi form Dutch passion, very different plants. One pheno is completely like purple lemonade form fastbuds. Terps are 1:1. I like the green leaves, purple buds combo. But it’s definitely not a skittles smell. Have a great Easter everyone. Cheers

D37: gave the little gal a hair cut. Trimmed off the reveg leaves to let light in. There are so many nodes that could branch out, I wish I would have lst'd it from the beginning. Branches grew about an inch last week on top.

Cream Cookies Auto od Fast Buds je prostě stará klasika, na které je ale bohužel vidět její věk. V době svého vydání to mohl být solidní kousek, ale dnešní optikou už tahle genetika těžko konkuruje.Růst a struktura: Neurazí, ale ani nenadchne. Roste to tak nějak samospádem, jak člověk od staršího automatu čeká. Žádný extra stabilní fenotyp nebo explozivní růst se nekoná.Cukru taky moc nevydala.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 6 | Finding Her Own Pace Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the reasons I love running phenotype hunts is because they constantly remind me that there is no such thing as a "perfect timeline." Every plant has her own rhythm. Even sisters sharing the same genetics, the same room, the same lighting, and almost identical nutrition will often choose completely different paths. Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues to be the perfect example of that. While her sister has moved slightly further ahead, Pheno B is taking a steadier, more measured approach to flowering. She's still stretching, still building her structure, and quietly preparing for the weeks ahead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with growing at your own pace. Sometimes those who start a little slower end up surprising everyone in the end. 🌼 Flowers Are Taking Shape This week the flowering transition became even more obvious. The first pistils that appeared last week are now multiplying across the growing tips, with every branch beginning to establish its own future flower site. The main top is starting to take form, while the secondary branches are joining the party one by one. Everything still feels delicate, but that's exactly what makes this stage so exciting. These tiny clusters may not look impressive today, but in only a few weeks they'll become the dense flowers that make all the patience worthwhile. Watching that transformation never gets old. 🌿 Elegant Structure One thing I really enjoy about this phenotype is her overall architecture. Compared to her sister, Pheno B has developed a slightly more open canopy, allowing plenty of airflow and excellent light penetration throughout the plant. Every branch seems to have found its own place without much intervention from me. The internodal spacing is balanced, the stems are strong, and the canopy already has a very natural shape. Sometimes a plant almost trains herself. Those are always enjoyable grows. The foliage remains a rich healthy green, and she's showing plenty of energy as she continues building toward full flower production. 🌱 Gentle Guidance Training remains intentionally simple. Low Stress Training continues helping spread the branches while occasional leaf tucking allows light to reach developing flower sites hidden beneath the canopy. I've resisted the temptation to overwork her. At this stage the goal isn't to force the plant into a specific shape. It's simply to help her make the most of the structure she's already chosen. The less unnecessary stress we create now, the more energy she can dedicate to producing beautiful flowers later. 🍽️ Feeding Strategy Nutrition remains focused on supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining healthy vegetative growth during the final stretch. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be based on observation rather than routine. Plants don't read feeding charts. They tell us what they need through their growth, colour, and overall health. Learning to understand those signals is one of the most valuable skills any grower can develop. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues providing stable conditions for healthy flower development. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With flowering progressing, humidity has gradually been reduced to create an ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Stable environmental conditions allow every phenotype to fully express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. It's amazing how much difference consistency makes over an entire grow. 📸 Capturing Another Chapter This week's photographs show a plant that's confidently settling into early flower. The close-up shots reveal fresh white pistils appearing from every growing tip, while the wider photos showcase a beautifully balanced structure that promises excellent light distribution as the buds continue developing. One thing I particularly enjoy is seeing how different the two Chem Brûlée sisters already look despite sharing the same genetics. That's the beauty of phenotype hunting. No two stories are ever exactly the same. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect Chem Brûlée Pheno B to continue producing new pistils across the canopy while gradually slowing her vertical stretch. The individual flower sites should begin expanding, and the first signs of true bud stacking will become more noticeable. Training will remain light, allowing her natural shape to continue developing while simply helping every branch receive as much light as possible. She's growing with quiet confidence. And sometimes... Those are the plants that end up leaving the biggest impression. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these incredible plants grow, I'm grateful to have you along for every step of this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that fuels healthy growth day after day. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and every person who stops by these diaries. Your encouragement, advice, questions, and conversations are what truly make this project worthwhile. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno B will continue proving that every phenotype has its own pace, its own personality, and its own unique story to tell. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Going good 👍🏾

They smell very sweet once you touch them

Meine lieben Freunde und Freundinnen, Brüder und Schwestern im Geistigen und Tatkräftigen, herzlich Willkommen zum Greenhouse Summer Outdoor Grow 2026. Der erste Strain des Outdoor Grows den ich Euch vorstellen werde ist die Purple Lemonade FF von 2Fast4Buds, eine 60% Sativa die laut FastBuds etwas nebulös als eine Kreuzung aus purple und citrus Cali Genetik beschrieben wird. Egal, sie soll sehr fruchtig und zitronig schmecken und könnte schöne Farben bekommen. Außerdem soll Sie eine kurze Blütezeit haben. Hier ist die URL: https://2fast4buds.com/de/seeds/purple-lemonade-fast-flowering#description Der zweite Strain der im Set mit dabei ist, ist die Mimosa x Orange Punch fem. von Barney's Farm, die ihre Genetik und den Taste bereits im Namen trägt, eine 65% Indica, die laut Barney's "ein wirklich sensationelles, zitrusähnliches und mandarinenartig-süßes Aroma" haben soll. Auch sie könnte interessante Farben bekommen. Hier die URL: https://www.barneysfarm.de/mimosa-x-orange-punch-552 Last but not least, der dritte Strain ist die Chocolate Sherbet fem. von Grower's Choice, eine 70% Sativa, deren Eltern Chocolope x Sunset Sherbet sind. Auf den Geschmack bin ich schon jetzt gespannt, cremiges Haschisch. Mit bis zu 240cm könnte sie die größte im Greenhouse werden und würde dann bis zur Decke wachsen. Hier ist die URL: https://www.growerschoice.nl/de/chocolate-sherbet.html#description EDIT: Nachdem die oben aufgeführten Pflänzchen nicht so recht loslegen wollten, habe ich mich entschlossen, fertige Stecklinge von Hanfgarten aus Österreich dazuzubestellen. Die Stecklinge kommen in die Mörtelwannen, die selbst gezogenen kommen in die bereits bewährten 15 und 20 Liter ROOTiES. So kann ich die auch mal direkt in die Sonne stellen. Der erste Steckling ist die Blueberry von Hanfgarten, eine 80% Indica, einer Kreuzung aus Afghan Indica x (Thai Sativa x Mexican Oaxacan Sativa), die nach 8 Wochen Blüte Mitte Oktober fertig sein soll. Außerdem soll sie fruchtig, beerig und süß schmecken. Auch hier gibt es eine URL: https://www.hanfgartenshop.de/blueberry.html Der zweite Steckling ist die Runtz, ebenfalls von Hanfgarten, ein Hybrid aus Zkittlez × Gelato, die auch nur 8-9 Wochen Blüte hat, mal sehen. Wenn sie ein ähnliches Aroma hat wie die Wurlz bin ich happy. Die URL: https://www.hanfgartenshop.de/runtz.html Der dritte Steckling ist die Super Lemon Haze, eine 80% Sativa von Greenhouse Seeds, deren Genetik von Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze stammt. Mit 9-10 Wochen Blüte steht sie wohl mit am längsten im Greenhouse. I💖Haze und hier sind die URL's: https://www.hanfgartenshop.de/super-lemon-haze.html https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/1-seed-pack/super-lemon-haze/?variation_id=604 Auch dieses Jahr gibt es wieder etwas Neues: Mir ist vor einigen Wochen im Baumarkt ein Foliengewächshäuschen begegnet. Die Aussicht, meine Schätzchen immer im Trockenen zu Wissen, lies mich sofort (also sofort nach einem Recall mit meiner Liebsten) zuschlagen. Danach war nur noch ein teilweiser Umbau unseres Gartens nötig, einen kleinen Weg anders verlegen, ein Fundament ausheben, Bordsteine zersägen, 2 Zentner Beton verbuddeln, Löcher bohren, verdübeln und verschrauben ohne das der Beton ausplatzt, einen haufen Astwerk vom Wein opfern und viel Rasen neu anlegen, das war's schon fast. Neu: Sind auch die zwei 90 Liter Maurerbottiche, in denen sich meine Pflanzen wohlfühlen dürfen, 4x soviel Platz wie im letzten Summer Outdoor Grow. Zur Drainage habe ich Rheinkiesel 9-18 verwendet. Da drauf kam mein altes Erdmischungsrezept mit frischem Kompost von Piluweris, Lehm, den die Wühlmäuse ständig in unserem Rasen aufwerfen und Sand aus'm Kieswerk mit gaaanz viel Staub drinne, praktisch Gesteinsmehl. Auch hier gab's was Neues: Hornmehl zusätzlich, hatich früher schon verwendet und ganz vergessen. Der erste Sack Sonnenerde Hanferde wurde mit der oberen Schicht meiner Mischung vermischt. Der zweite Sack kam dann blank obendrauf. Neu: Für mich ist auch die angewendete Keimmethode noch neu, die Samen zuerst in einem Marmeladenglas mit temperiertem Wasser mit Zusatz von Wasserstoffperoxyd keimen zu lassen. Das ist jetzt das dritte Mal, dass ich diese Methode anwende. Der Vorteil daran ist die superschnelle Keimung, der Keim schaut tatsächlich bereits am nächsten Tag aus der Schale und nach ein oder zwei weiteren Tagen haben sich die Keimlinge von der Samenschale befreit. Das weitere Vorgehen bereitet mir noch Probleme. Ich verwende immer noch die SmartStart Plugs von Zamnesia die ich praktisch halbiere, also von oben nach unten einmal Mittendurch. Dahinein lege ich jetzt den Keimling und klappe die zwei Hälften dann zusammen und pflanze den Plug in den Topf. Neu: In die Wannen kommen zusätzlich Gäste als da wären erprobte und neue sowie überwinterte Chilisorten, verschiedene Basiliken oder -kums, Weiße Melisse, Roter Klee, paar Blumen und so. Tag 43: Heute hat es 36°C und das bleibt die ganze Woche so bis Samstag, dann soll es abkühlen. Die Blumen im Greenhouse bekommen jetzt 2-3 mal 0,5-1 Liter Wasser täglich. Tag 47: Sonntag hat es geregnet und danach war unser Rasen mit kleinen 2-3cm Schnecken schon fast bedeckt, so viele waren es und alle in Richtung Haus unterwegs. Richtig Spooky. Letzte Woche habe ich die PC-Nematoden gegen Schnecken von Oere BioProtekt im ganzen Garten ausgebracht und die nächsten 4 Tage Abends mit gut 100 Litern Wasser den ganzen Garten feucht gehalten. Nach Regen sind wir gewohnt, von Schnecken aus der benachbarten Obstwiese überfallen zu werden, aber halt normal großen so ~10 cm, aber diesmal waren keine großen dabei. Tag 48: KEINE Schnecke mehr zu sehen, nirgends, keine kleine und schon gar keine große. Jetzt bin ich mal gespannt, wie lange das anhält. Ich kann's noch gar nicht glauben. Eins kann ich versprechen: It will take a very, very long time 😃 Schön das du es bist, der mich begleitet 👍😎

12/21: Raised the lights as high as they can go... 12/22: Fed today and rearranged the garden. Did some supercropping, and lassoed the GG4 (bitch is wild i tell ya) 12/26: Fed today and did some more supercropping...

Turns out the weather was perfect for drying. This is my first time bending the plant waay over instead of topping, so it was all new, turns out to not be a lot of difference except the shape is more rounded. I was a bit worried that it was not going to be a good return, I thought I might struggle to get six zips. eight seemed a bit optimistic but in the end she produced over 13.2 zips. I've just been extracting resin from the lowest quality of the box of larf I have and she is returning what I'd expect from my best buds, so yes, this is probably heavier than she looks because of the resin. Nice and light golden with a spicy delicate aroma. I'll be popping a seedsman amnesia next, but the one following that will be another Lemon Pie but she will be topped. However I can't see that I'm going to improve on 13.2, but you never know. Nevertheless I am very surprised at the yield.

Servus Moin! Die Pineapple Slush XL macht sich hervorragend. Die Buds riechen allmählich auch sehr fruchtig.

Zkittlez Feminized Seeds are a cross of Afghan Kush x (Grapefruit x Grape Ape). A great indica dominant hybrid that causes a well balanced cerebral effect. With a flower period of 60 to 65 days you can expect an indoor harvest of 600g/m2 and outdoor harvest of around 700g/m2. A great display of resin with faint purple hues late in the flower period. Aromas of deep berry and grape. SGROG method works great with this genetic. A great addition to The Bakeries ever growing in-house collection. Let's see I will plant 3 of these left from gift seed... Day 0 24th of March 2020 I place them in the water. Day 0 25th of March 2020, seeds are sank. Day 0 25th of March 2020: I placed the seeds between damp paper towel. Day 0 26th of March 2020: 2 is c sprouting already one needs more time I think :) Day 0 29th of March 2020: Time to plant the one did not show sign of life another one actually doesn't even need soil :○ Look at the picture :) I have planted them. Weather is shit 6 Celsius now.... Why today???????? So... I decided to bring in my room they get the same light from the sun through the window but the big difference is the temperature. Outside is shit cold 6-8 celsius in my room is 23 Celsius so... Day 1: So left them in my room close to the window. One of them is out hopefully the other girl will show up as well she was a bit back I mean in terms of sprouting. Weather is rubbish, UK shit now cold and hardy have sun. We had some good days... I am waiting for the better days. :) Day 3: Both of them out. 4th of April Day 6 This is the first food day so far sun is shining.... Precious days kept in the window and night time inside because it is cold. Ony one left rest of the good bye. :)

She has some big leaves, but staying pretty short. Going to move it around the grow room to change the light position to hopefully get a taller plant. ✌️💚🌿💨. Just water for now

11/18/2025 Week 8 and we aren't done yet. Shame that. I'd say another 2 weeks, so a total of 10 weeks? At that point, I'd rather 12 weeks and have some hefty buds. We'll see. They have ideal conditions, constant maintenance of the water mix. pH was out of control last week, so we are gonna try harder to keep it at 5.8. I might change that to 6.0. I know autos like a slightly higher pH in flower. I'll have to research that myself. Papaya Cookies looks great! She's about 24 inches tall now. Her root ball isn't very big, but we discovered that a couple weeks ago. However, she's still drinking a little under a gallon and that's a decent amount per day. She's not going to be the best producer, but I think I'll get a pretty good amount. Internodal spacing is pretty long, so trimming will be super easy. If I had to guess, I'd say a decent 5 oz out of this plant. From my experience so far, the height of the plant and the amount of bud sites, no to mention the size of the buds. I expect really big cones. The flower surface is huge. My theory is that buds of plants, flowers, etc, grow into their petals. Cannabis petals are the final fan leaves and the sugar leafs of the plant. The buds usually engulf those smaller leaves to make colas. The ones that are on my plant are gigantic. We'll see if my theory pans out. Lemon Cherry Cookies, who is now 25 inches, is definitely the winner in this little race. I know I've said it before and it was quite obvious well before now, but I wasn't sure who would give the most bud. This lady is COVERED in bud. There's about 5 inches of empty space on the bottom, but from there up, it's just bud bud bud. The internodal spacing is really short and the buds look like they will be huge. The flowering sites aren't as big as they are on Papaya Cookies, but plenty big enough. This week we are dropping the environment. I need to get her to 40% humidity and the VPD at 1.6 kPa or slightly lower. Not exactly sure what the temp will be, but it should stay around 75°. Or well, I will make it stay at 75°. I don't think it's time to start dropping the temp. Not for another week or so. I also can't get the water temp below 71°. Not that it matters really. The water will be changed when lights on. And it also drops pretty good at night. Like. 69° 68.5° somewhere around there. I'm not buying one of those diy kits. I've looked, you need a power supply, a mounting plate, water pump and tubing. Obviously you'd need all they with diy, but it got really expensive in my Amazon cart. Lol. So nope. I guess I'll need to get a couple water bottles and freeze them. I have the other ones, but I don't think they stay frozen for very long at all. 11/19/2025 Lemon Cherry Cookies: 11 am PPM: 861 Papaya Cookies: 11 am PPM: 910 I think I have nutrient lockout. Testing the TDS. I'll check again after lights on. I added a gallon of plain pHed water to each bucket. It didn't change much. I have a feeling I'll have to actually flush these ladies. What's confusing is how both of them got nutrient lockout. Also, both ladies were praying this morning. No clue why. Nothing has changed. Maybe they are recovering from the lockout? If it's a lockout. Yellowing tips and an increase in the nute concentration. Not sure if the praying has anything to do with it, but I do find a bit of concern with this situation. On a better note, both plants are loaded in frost. Papaya Cookies has the most. Not bad. We'll see how they come out. The environment is doing great! All on point. 75° and 40% VPD is like 1.58 kPa. Excuse me a moment while I get high as a kite...waiting music... Ok all good now. Anyway, where was I? Oh right. The environment. Near perfect. I want to touch back to the frostiness again. As I understand it, trichomes are defensive mechanisms and also used to catch pollen. The point is that these ladies are stressed and getting frosty. And if they are praying because of light stress...?? Then they would be producing more trichomes. I'm not sure. Honestly I'm at a loss here. Anyone know? OMFG!!! I forgot. I found a 2 sets of balls on the lower part of Lemon Cherry Cookies. I got them off before they had a chance to pop open. Then I searched the shit out of the plant. Nothing else. I even searched all over Papaya Cookies. I've searched a few days in a row. So if that's the case, and those sacks were there, then the plants are right on point for trichome production. Hence why I'm confused. This is the right time for trichomes, but is the plant still stressed? And how much? We have distinctive yellow tips indicating a deficiency. (Lockout) Also, if this is a subtle change over on the stage of growth, like peak flowering or something like that. I'll be back with updated water specs. Lemon Cherry Cookies: 5 pm : Ppm: 882 Papaya Cookies: 5 pm: Ppm: 914 11/20/2025 Kinda same morning today. pH was high, but not too bad this time. 6.4. The TDS was reading 1050 on both ladies. Lemon Cherry Cookies had the pH of 6.4 while Papaya Cookies was a little bit lower. 6.35 to be exact. I added plain pHed water to the mix to dilute it a bit. It dropped them both to around 875 ppm. But the pH was still high. So I brought that down to 5.8. The issue I'm running into is the speed the pH rises. It climbs all the way up to 6.6 sometimes. It's been 4 hours since I pHed the water and it's already at 6.2. I think it's a little too fast. Another thing that was a bit odd this morning is that both plants were happily praying which hasn't really happened in about a week. Maybe they're recovered, BUT the ppms were still higher than yesterday. But now the pH is higher as well. I'm having trouble diagnosing. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated. Now, it's lights out and they are still praying. At least from what I can see. I'm looking through a night vision camera, so the buds kinda overwhelm the lens I think. Too white and sparkly. I dunno. Can't find anything on that either. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Lemon Cherry Cookies is starting to fill her buds out. The stacks are coming in. I wonder how much they slowed down. Seems like a bit to be honest. Not too stoked for that. I did notice that some of the older leaves are popping off again. Looks like it's time to remove a few before next lights out. I don't think that causes any stress when you pop them off like that. I'm not 100% sure, but I think when they pop off is when they become obsolete and use more energy than taking it in. Just a theory. Unless these are the leaves that will turn colors, I might as well meticulously pop them off over the next few days. It'll open some more space how that the new stuff is now big old stuff. Papaya Cookies is also looking pretty good. Although, her leaves still won't pop off. I know a lot of it was new growth, but there was some older stuff I left on there. They still won't pop off. I wonder what that means. They should pop off. At least the older stuff. I really don't want to remove anything that is still bringing energy to the plant. But at the same time, I don't want her to start to crowd. We'll have to see what happens over the next few days. Just a few here and there, mind you. I'm not doing a full defoliation in the middle of the flowering stage. Lol. But a few here and there won't hurt but will help the rest of the plant direct energy to the buds. If I didn't need the weed and had more plants, I'd try stripping the plant of most of her leaves just to see what happens. The environment is looking pretty stable now. Day temp was around 75° and the RH was about 45%. The VPD was like 1.56 kPa still right where I want it. Night time is pretty good too. The temp is 68° and the RH is 43%. The VPD is 1.34 kPa. Not bad, but I'd like it closer to 1.4 kPa. 11/21/2025 Frosty and smelly! That's what I woke up to this morning. Very happy. Both ladies seem to have recovered from their little issue. Now they are super happy. Slightly praying and stacking nicely. I am going to say another 2 to 3 weeks. A lot more time than I anticipated, but bigger buds, so I can't complain. Especially with how healthy these 2 are now. Papaya Cookies drank just over a half gallon. Her TDS dropped a little, but so did the pH...5.3 pretty low. However, with a top off of pHed mix, everything looks good now. Her leaves still aren't plucking off like they should be. It's very interesting to me. I wonder why. It's not new growth, that's for sure. Anyway, I did a little bit of snipping today. Like 12 leaves. All big and blocking bud sites. Had to dig a little bit to get a couple of them. Those ones were blocking airflow. Nothing crazy. So she won't really notice. Lemon Cherry Cookies is stacking. Or at least she looks to be stacking. In reality, the buds under the top are just filling out. But still a very much needed swell. Hopefully the next 2 to 3 weeks will show some super impressive bud. I also removed about 10 leaves. Those were also blocking bud sites and one big one in the middle blocking airflow. She has tons of frost on her now. So sticky! The environment was a little warm this morning. In fact, 77.6°. nothing crazy. But still a little bit warm. They, of course, probably enjoyed it. Anyway, that's about it for the weather today. I really have to get into the routine of specs again. Like with VPD, CO2, water specs. Like temp, EC, TDS and pH. I just need to get used to it. Never had so much info to go off of. Soil was really messy for me. Not only literally, but figuratively as well. I could never tell what they needed. And I could never tell if there were air pockets. Granted it was easy, but I still find this one more comfortable. Knowing all the things. Very important to me. That's all for now. 11/22/2025 So today was kinda weird. Papaya Cookies pH plummeted to around 4.8 and the TDS was high as well as the EC. Not sure what that means, I'll have to research it, but yah, that got fixed right away. TDS was 1050 ppm EC was 2.0. On the other hand, Lemon Cherry Cookies looks great! Her pH drifted a little. It's at 6.05. So I left it. I'll pH back to 5.8 this afternoon after lights out. The environment was pretty good this morning. The temp was a little higher than usual. 77.6°. The humidity was also a bit high. 48%. I think the VPD was still good though, maybe a little over. I didn't look at it. My bad. I plucked some leaves today. Not a ton, but a bunch. Both plants had some larger leaves that needed to be gone. Blocking airflow and light. I chose wisely. One thing I learned was how sticky these buds are. They are sticky and smelly. It's awesome. And they aren't even close to done. Speaking of buds, they are starting to take a better shape. Both plants have the cone shaped buds. But are also looking like they'll get pretty fat. Just gotta let them do their thing. 11/23/2025 Yet again the pH for Papaya Cookies crashed all the way down to 4.6. In just 16 hours. No clue what to do, so I took a gallon then added a gallon of plain pHed to 6.5 water. Then I pHed it up 6.2 the plain water dropped the TDS down to 850 ppm and the EC to 1.75. I don't expect it to stay there at all. Not in the next 6 hours. Hopefully it only swings down a bit. And hopefully it will be able to take in the nutrients it hasn't been able to get because of the crash. There's no upward swing, so the plant isn't getting a lot of nutrients she needs. Lemon Cherry Cookies also had a swing. The TDS spiked to 1050 ppm and the EC to 2.0. The pH only climbed a little bit. Up to 6.1. So I added some plain pHed water to bring the concentration down and then pHed. I think I need to replace a gallon like I did with Papaya Cookies. I want the TDS down to like 800 to 850. Around there. I'm starting to feel like maybe there's just too much for her to handle. Both of them, to be honest. But I can't tell. They are growing and smelly. And this is about the right time, so we should be seeing some major swelling over the next couple of weeks. The smell is still pretty planty, but it's just the beginning. When the trichomes start to get cloudy and the leaves begin to turn, they will both have the full flavor profile ready for the sniffing. The environment is a bit off today for lights out. It's hanging out at 69° but the humidity is higher than I'd like at 49%. I know it's not bad at all, but I want perfection with my AI system. The CO2 is now really starting to crank up. I'm hoping I'll get a good amount in the coming few days. I'd like to increase the light intensity a bit. But I can't until I figure out how to clear up the nutrient challenge. 11/24/2025 SMH more plain water in Lemon Cherry Cookies. But the pH dropped this time. So that's good, but the mix is back up to 1050 ppm. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not seeing any signs of stress. Nothing new anyway. Maybe I need to drop it to like 700 or 750. But it's too late to screw around. If the problem persists tomorrow, I'll drain another gallon and replace it with a very mild dose. And then top off with plain pHed water. Annoying thing, when I move my plants around to pH the water, they get stuck on things. Well, so far I've had 3 branches supercrop themselves on wires, the other plant and when I put the bucket in the tent. Point is the space is small. I bet I could grow a huge plant in this tent, but then it's just one strain. I need a bigger tent. And with the bigger tent, it'll still be tights, but not so much where I can't make space. I'd be tight because I'd be running photos and keeping them in veg til they reach every wall. Wall to wall tops. Then flower. Let them stretch and boom a complete sea of colas. Papaya Cookies had a very low pH again, but the mix was fine. 925 ppm. Anyway, I added some nutrient water and pHed it back to 5.8. She's also getting orange hairs on top. Pretty early if you ask me. It could have been me accidentally brushing against them with my arm while I tried to get fan leaves. Who knows. The environment is back to normal for lights out and this morning. It did get kinda hot when I closed to tent back up after working with the water. Like 78°. But I have CO2, so it should be fine. The increase in light seems to be fine. I'm not seeing any signs of stress or anything. The CO2 is honestly inconsistent. And that's because the fan runs too high and pulls it all out before it can hit the plants. It bounces between 750 and 1025. So I'm not sure how useful it is. I'll leave it, but still I need a different setup to make it work right. Also, my inline fan seems to be stalling while it's on full blast. After reading a few articles, the 4" fan works but not as well as it needs to and basically sits at 100% power. So I'll be getting a 6" fan and filter sometime soon. It's obvious, but the 6" fan will do much better at pulling air in. It just does a better job. Not to mention, the 6" filter is super long, so I might be running just that in the tent and the fan on the outside. That's all for now.

The plant looks absolutely gorgeous, let's do some mailing on this lady as well to avoid a long height plant that cab be seen from anywhere, I'll try to make a beautiful bush full of fat colas, let's see what we can do guys!!

Last week for her now. Had her last feed other day and starting her flush tomorrow. She's put a bit of weight on like and stinking more and more 👌🏻 Looking like a lush fade coming in over this last week too. Next entry will be the harvest ✌️🏻

12/12 for 2 weeks

Da ich nicht bedacht habe, dass die Lampe doch so viel Wärme abgibt, hat die kleine Dame kurzzeitig etwas viel Hitze abbekommen. Zum Glück ist es am nächsten Tag aufgefallen und ich konnte etwas gegensteuern, indem ich Die Lampen Leistung etwas runtergeschraubt und den Luftbefeuchter kontrolliert habe.

Nights have went down to 4°c with most at 8° c but going up to 12- 13° c at night with daytime around 21°c . Took pots off concrete , put them on some boards to raise them off the ground. Scenescense kicking in for sure lots of yellowing. As long as it hasn't hit your sugar Leaves you're good. And the buds themselves use the sun to ripen.. you don't need the leafs for photosynthesis. At this point for bud ripening. Still using los cost plant therapy 10ml per 900 ml water.. because of high relative air humidity at night.. and morning dew. I've been losing a leaf blower to get the dew off. In the beginning, I was just shaking the buds. Today is week 8. I have milky trichomes and bunch still not as milky as i would like.. with the odd amber trichome.

This week was a bit of a struggle. Plant was moved to 5 gallon container and into a tent. It took me a few days to get the humidity under control but all is well now that I've got a little better ventilation. The only thing I'm very concerned with now is bringing the ph down to a 6.5 -7. I'm going to use distilled water instead of nutrient mix for the next week and likely will heavily dilute the nutrient mix before next feeding.
