This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

7/4 SUN was poking out a little bit. Plants loved that little feeding and seen to he noticeable larger this morning. I'm considering starting the nutes. At least the organic ones as well as upping the water intake I've been scared to water with all this rain and my experience last time. I plan on applying BT this afternoon and doing some work on the bottoms of the plants. I also saw a chipmunk in my cage so I have some spots in my fence that need to be patched. I know I can't compare this year to orher years as these are seeds and all the other years were clones. I CAN say for certain that my plants are healthiest they've been out of any of my journals. Previous plants were much larger but I was fighting numerous fungal, pathogens and pests at the sane time. Ear wigs would've lollipopped most buddies by now but I've seen no sign of them. I'm going to apply more poison where they were and add some rat traps inside the cage for the chipmunks. Once I fix the cage I think I'll be good. UPDATE: Went back over and fixed the holes on my cage from high winds. I found an old wire trap or cage and just cut sections and ziptied them to the existing wire and to the structure thus covering any open holes. I'll need to put lathes aroubdvtge outside because if a rodent REALLY wanted in they could get in. My belt had been wearing thin but I use shit until it breaks (yesterday the heal came off my shoe lol) so I was working hard sweating my nuts off and my belt gives out totally. At least ive got the major stuff done. I took a few videos too. I'm imagining it was this little bit of sun that gave these plants that boost of growth but I'm wondering if the added nutes had anything to do with it. Bags weren't light and I could feel moisture in the soil so I didn't water. I'll check again tomorrow morning. Since I didn't see many plants or even leaves for that matter with damage I decided to hold off ob the BT and the plant doctor. Only time will tell if that was the right decision. 7/5 Plants look fantastic. I see a few more holes in leaves sporadically amd I'm hoping it's pillars. I've seen lots of lightning bugs on my camera though and grasshoppers are abundant. Not one growth shoot has been chewed (knock on wood) which is what the earwigs had always done. I watched a video from last year and by nowcthey had lollipopped all lower leaves. It may not be the best weather growing season wise but despite the rh consistently in the 90's I still don't have pm or fungal pathogens. Need to get the BT out. Didn't water as we've had all that rain. I'll water either tonight or tomorrow morning. Sunny high in the 90s low is 66. Tomorrow looks good too. UPDATE WENT BACK OVER AROUND FIVE. IT WAS 88 DEGREES SO I WANTED TO CHECK THE GROW BAGS. THE POTS ARE FINE. IT WAS HUMID AS HELL. ONE PLANT WAS SLIGHTLY DROOPY BUT VERY LIGHT AND DRY. I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT SEEMED LIGHTER THAN THE REST BUT HADNT DROOPED. I MIXED TWO GALLONS OF WATER WITH 1TSP KANGOROOTS AMD PHED IT CLOSE TO 6. I FED THE 3 PLANTS THAT WERE SUPER DRY LIKE A HALF GALLON AND SPRED THE REST OVER THE OTHER EIGHT PLANTS. THEY WERENT DROOPING BUT THEY WERE VERY DRY. I PLAN ON A FULL WATER TOMORROW. I WOULDVE DONE IT TODAY IF THE TEMPS WERENT SO HIGH. ITS RAINED A MONTH STRAIGHT SO I HAVENT HAD TO WATER. I MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/6 Another super hot day. I hefted the pots and they still had some weight but I could tell they were dry. This rain has messed up my watering schedule. Well it made it so I didn't NEED to water. These are big plants now. I need to get a schedule to stick too. They're going to probably need a gallon a piece at least. I'm still nervous watering. Right now I'm just reading the plants. I added .5tsp kelp me/you to 1 gallon of water to help with heat stress. I fed an additional two gallons to the garden this morning including the two container plants in the back. They were dry on top too but I know they have water deeper down. Next watering I'll be more consistent and try to give them there 10%. It's great having the bags elevated. I can finally see when I start getting run off. I could even measure the ph of it instead of relying on that meter. Ill check the ph when I go back over. Still a few 🐛 holes but they are few and far between. I really don't want to spray for such a small problem but if I cant find them at night that's what I'll do. UPDATE: Another 90 degree day. I went back over and gave the garden a gallon of water as they were dry and it didn't rain. Tried to use a soil ph meter to check ph. First couple were 6.4, 6.5 then I got 7.3 and I accidently dropped it. Then I got somethings that were high eights and even one 9! Obviously the Meter shit the bed. I'll lower the ph of the water slightly when I fully water tomorrow and I'm going to measure the runoff. 7/8 I must've messed up the journal again as the dates are off. GAVE PLANTS A FULL WATERING. Each girl got a gallon. I couldn't upload my videos this morning as I had to break up a fight. 3 on 1. Didn't give me a chance to put the videos up. I'll take some stills then I can upload them. I took stills and they all uploaded but didn't fucking save. I'm nit going to keep trying to upload if it's not going to. Noticed a few more holes in leaves and one skeletinized leaf so I need to either spray the bt or something more versatile. I'm putting more poison around the cage and de between the bags. I'll go check things out tonight. Sick of writing a book and uploading to just hace them disappear 7/9 Did a quick video today. Noticed the bags were fairly light despite the plants being soaked amd the pallets wet. I was pressed for time. I gave two gallons to the entire garden. I hope that will hold them over until tomorrow. I'll need to up how much water I give them. Going with a gallon and a half next time. I see more pillar spots and a moth took off when I shook the plants this morning. So I'm gonna have too apply the BT. I figure if I go over before dark tonight I might be able to see aju nocturnal insects around. Luckily my dad feeds the birds and they are always there. I think they help with pests. UPDATE IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER TODAY BUT MICH MORE HUMID. I WENT AROUND SIX TO MAKE SURE THE GIRLS WERE OK WITH WATER AND TO GIVE THEM A TREATMENT OF BT. I WENT THROUGH THE GARDEN ANDCGOUND THREE LEQVES TO DEFOLIATE AND LITERALLY A COUPLE LEAVES ON TWO PLANTS WITH PILLAR HILESM WHEN I ARRIVED TWO BIRDS FLEW OUT. A HORNET CAME IN WHILE I WAS THERE. THIS DO LESS APPROACH SEEMS TO BE REALLY WORKING. I DODNT SEE NEARLT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WARRANT SPRAY8NG MY EXTREMELY HEALTHY GIROS WITH ANYTHING. ILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND CLEAN THEM UP A BIT. I DO NEED TO INSTALL THE VERY8CAL TRELLIS FOR SUPPORT. THEYRE PRETTY HEALTHY THOUGH. ONE PLANT IS ABOUT AS WIDE AS IT IS TALL. STILL......PLANTS ARE EXPLODING AND ITS GETTING TIGHT IN THERE. I NEED TO GET THE TRELLIS UP THOUGH. 7/10 I went over and was planning to water. Plants were wet and it's raining. Top of the medium was moist but the bags were light. ONE bag was super light but seeing that we are having showers all day and an additional half inch of rain coming tonight so I didn't water them. Especially since they looked great. Decided to to spray BT yet as the damage is so small and i think the birds have been taking care of the pillars for me. Now I'm wondering if I should've gave that ONE plant a little bit of water but it will be find. Did a video. I'm being careful not to over water. Last year this is when all my buddies were devoured by earwigs. And no senescence like the years before. I think it was hust those earwigs. I haven't lost shot for leaves. Even the stalks are bright green and look amazing.

Love this plant,beutiful uniform growing.The smell is amazing,super sweet smelling.Found her sweet spot nutes wise.Very happy thus far

This week was so mixed with the ladies and the heat issue we had this week. Cherry Bomb seemed to be the only one who didn't care that it got hot the rest have burned leaves from the heat. But they all are bouncing back and should be looking better over the next week.

flushing... i am almost done...

These were supposed to be a more finicky plant by 34 street seeds, as reported by them and other home growers. However, I found it to be fairly normal, was definitely a feeder, and could have probably used some more, I just found it easier to have to mix one feed for both growing had growing. No issues with pests or PM, great yields, big large colas, despite only topping once, and snapping one of those tops of f two of the plants! Anywho, 10/10 would recommend for the $50 pack of seeds *Bonus* I had the three plants tested for THC and CBD at my local grow shop, they tested at 25%, 26% and 27% ❤️ I will also be submitting a sample for the 2023 Grow Cup ran by 34 Street Seeds, along with my other grow, Zkittlez x fpog also by 34 street seeds. Thanks for stopping by 🇨🇦👊❤️

Had a great time documenting this grow, despite all the drama going on in my personal life. This is my last diary for a few months while we find a new home, but got all my seeds ready to go as soon as we're settled in. :) Thanks to everyone for all the comments and support. Much love! #girlsgrowtoo0

Hey guys. For this week i upload some videos 1 video per plant. I am not giving any more the bio nova autoflower supermix, i m thinking on let them going only with water until the end, but lets see. Plant 5 is close to harvest i think on the end of this week. Plant 1 and 4 are doing good on flowering. Plant 2 is slowly flowering Plant 3 is still in middle of the transition to flowering, is going very slow. I think she probably is blocked because of the size of the pot and light . When i harvest plant 5 the others will have more space, and i can bend some branches to increase the bud quality. The big question is, when harvest? its the first time im doing this and i am afraid of doing that wrong. Hope the videos can help someone to help me :D I have also made a video of plant 5 on a more close look, not to much quality but for now its what i can get , sorry 28/05 day 69 small trichome update of plant 3,4 and 5. Plant 1 and 2 still on pre flowering analysing the trichomes, i would say, Plant 3 and 4 need almost 2 more weeks Plant 5 - probably only 1 week more, so up to almost week 12 plant 1 and 2 - will take much time as fotoperiodic LOL

Removed ScrOg, I’m too ocd and damaged two colas. Two weeks was enough to space. Wish I put it on two weeks earlier. Currently removing flarf sites.

Week 4 coming to a close, temps are way better now. shes also beginning to ramp up her watering intake. Watered 4L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 4ml/L Grow on Day 22 Watered 5L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 5ml/L Grow on Day 26 Did some defoliation on 22 and 24. I think i overdid it for my likings but oh well, she'll manage. Scrog Net is ready for deployment on Day 27.🙌 Shes looking fine, healthy and has a lush green color, so i ramped up the nutes, cause thats what i do.

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A 💨 We Lost The Main Cola… But The Story Doesn't End Here Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I have a confession to make. 😂 Last week, I kind of missed the photos. And, unfortunately, there was a little more to that story than simply forgetting to take the camera out. Cash Express Pheno A was the girl who lost her main cola to bud rot. 💔🌸 There. I said it. And honestly, it was a pity. A really fucking big pity. But... things happen. And when they do? We deal with them. We remove what needs to be removed. We inspect what remains. We keep moving. And that's exactly what we've done. The affected main cola is gone. The remaining flowers are looking good. No signs of the same issue on the remaining parts that we're keeping. And most importantly... Cash Express Pheno A is still here. She's still growing. She's still evolving. She's still moving fast. And she's still got plenty of beautiful flowers left to show us. So yes... we lost the main cola. But we did not lose the plant. And we certainly aren't going to let one bad moment define the rest of her story. We've moved on. Now it's time to take care of what remains. And make it shine. 💚🚂🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 A Small Apology Before We Move Forward First of all... I'm sorry, girl. 😂💚 Missing the previous report and photographs wasn't exactly how I wanted this chapter to go. And then, on top of that, we had the issue with the main cola. Not exactly the perfect week. But this is also part of growing. Not every chapter is going to be perfect. Not every photograph is going to be perfect. Not every flower is going to make it all the way to the finish. Sometimes something happens. And when it does... we don't hide it. We document it. We learn from it. We deal with it. And we continue. For anyone who wants the full story of what happened, I explained the situation in the previous week's Cash Express Pheno B report. So if you're curious about the details, go have a look there. But for this diary... the important part is: We found the problem. We removed the affected main cola. We checked the remaining flowers. And now we're moving forward. No drama. No panic. Just another chapter in the adventure. ──────────────────────── 🚂 The Main Cola Is Gone — But She's Still Here Let's address the obvious first. Yes... we lost the main cola. 💔 And it was a beautiful one. That's what makes it hurt. 😂 When you've watched a plant develop for weeks, when you've seen a flower build itself up, when you've photographed it and followed its progression... losing part of it sucks. There's no better way to put it. But one flower doesn't define the entire plant. Cash Express Pheno A still has plenty of flowering sites. And those remaining flowers are what we're concentrating on now. We're not looking backward. We're looking forward. The affected part has been removed. The remaining plant is continuing to develop. And I'm very happy to see that the rest of her flowers are still looking beautiful. That's what matters now. So... goodbye, main cola. You were beautiful. 💔🌸 And now... let's see what the rest of this girl can do. ──────────────────────── 🌸 What Remains Is Still Beautiful And this is the part I really want to focus on this week. Because when you look at the photographs... you can see it. She's still beautiful. She's still flowering. She's still developing. She's still carrying plenty of character. And honestly? She's still Cash Express. 😂🚂💚 The remaining flowers are continuing to evolve quickly, just as we've been seeing from this phenotype throughout the run. She's still one of those girls that seems to change noticeably from week to week. The structure continues developing. The flowers continue maturing. And she's still giving us plenty to look at. So although we've lost one of the biggest pieces of the plant... we still have a lot of plant left. And I'm going to enjoy every bit of it. ──────────────────────── 💨 She's Still Moving Fast One thing hasn't changed. This girl is still moving. Fast. 😂🚂💨 Even after everything that happened, she's continuing to progress. She's not sitting there looking defeated. She's not stopping. She's continuing her flowering journey. And that's actually one of the things I appreciate most about plants. Something can go wrong... and they just keep going. They don't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They continue doing what plants do. Grow. Develop. Adapt. Finish their journey. And Cash Express Pheno A is doing exactly that. She's still evolving quickly. And now we're simply watching the remaining flowers become the main characters of this story. ──────────────────────── 🌿 One Problem Doesn't Change Her Personality Before the issue with the main cola, I already described this girl as one of the more unique plants in the room. And that hasn't changed. She's still not necessarily the classic "perfect-looking" plant. She's not the symmetrical princess. She's not the biggest. She's not the most glamorous. But she has character. And that's something you can't manufacture. 😂💚 She's interesting. She's individual. She's developing quickly. She's aromatic. And now she's also given us one of those unexpected chapters that becomes part of the story. That's the reality of a long grow. The plants don't always follow the script. And Cash Express definitely didn't. But that's okay. We're still here. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this experiment so interesting. The environment can be kept consistent. The plants can't. 😂 Every phenotype gets the same opportunity. And then... they decide what to do with it. Cash Express Pheno A has given us another reminder that every grow has its unexpected moments. But she's also showing us something else: The story doesn't stop just because one part of it changes. We adapt. We continue. And we keep documenting. ──────────────────────── 💡 Same Light. Same Room. Same Photons. The lighting environment remains unchanged. We're continuing with the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup, including the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment. After adding the additional fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately: 🔌 ~59% from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Cash Express Pheno A continues growing underneath those photons. Same light. Same room. Same ecosystem. Different plant. Different response. That's one of the things I love most about this project. We don't need to give her a completely different environment to make her interesting. She's already interesting. She's doing that herself. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Still Have A Story To Tell The main cola may be gone... but the remaining flowers aren't finished. Not at all. They're still developing. They're still changing. They're still building their own little structures. And when I look at them, I don't see a plant that has reached the end of her story. I see a plant that has had a setback... and is continuing anyway. That's a very different thing. So now my attention naturally shifts. Instead of admiring the main cola... we admire what remains. Instead of thinking about what we lost... we appreciate what we still have. And there is plenty here to appreciate. 🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 👃 And Yes... She's Still Making Herself Known Another thing that hasn't disappeared is her aroma. This girl was already starting to make herself known before. And she's still developing that side of her personality. The visual story is one thing. The aroma is another. And that's part of what makes following an individual phenotype so interesting. You can watch the structure. You can watch the flowers. You can watch the progression. And then suddenly... the plant starts speaking through another sense. 😂💨 Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. And I'm curious to see how that expression continues to evolve as the remaining flowers mature. ──────────────────────── ✂️ We Don't Need To Invent More Work And now? We're not going crazy. 😂✂️ The affected main cola is gone. The remaining flowers are being watched. The plant is still developing. The environment is stable. So we're not going to start randomly manipulating the plant just because something happened. The important intervention was already made. Now? Observe. Maintain. Document. Let her continue. That's it. Sometimes the best thing you can do after dealing with a problem is simply return to stability. And that's exactly where we're going. Back to normal. Back to observation. Back to letting the plant do her thing. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Room Is Stable — And That's Exactly What We Want The rest of the 8×8 continues under the same conditions. We're keeping the room stable. Same ecosystem. Same environmental strategy. Same lighting setup. Same nutritional program. Same irrigation philosophy. And honestly? The room is looking good. The plants are alive. They're developing. They're progressing. They're showing their individual personalities. And that stability is exactly what we want right now. We're not changing things unnecessarily. We're not chasing the calendar. We're not trying to make every phenotype finish at the same time. We're watching them. And we're responding when something actually requires a response. Cash Express required one. We responded. Now we move forward. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Same Feeding — Same Opportunity The nutritional program remains unchanged for the room. 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength remains around: ⚡ EC ~2.05 mS/cm And we're continuing with the same overall irrigation strategy. No special recipe for Cash Express. No special nutritional treatment. Same opportunity. Same room. Same ecosystem. And she's responding in her own way. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues under the same stable conditions used across this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 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 ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. And Cash Express Pheno A is continuing her journey with one less major cola than she started this chapter with. But still plenty of story left. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Also Part Of The Experiment I think it's important to document the difficult moments too. It's easy to make a diary when everything looks perfect. Beautiful flowers. Perfect photographs. Amazing progress. Everything sparkling. But that's not reality. Reality is that sometimes you lose something. Sometimes a flower doesn't make it. Sometimes you have to change your plans. And sometimes you simply have to say: "Okay. That happened. Let's deal with it." 😂 That's what we've done here. And I think that's just as valuable to document as the beautiful parts. Because the 8×8 Adventure isn't a collection of perfect photographs. It's a real journey. And Cash Express Pheno A has now given us one of those chapters. ──────────────────────── 💚 We Move On So... enough about what we lost. Let's talk about what we still have. 💚🌸 We still have a beautiful plant. We still have developing flowers. We still have an interesting phenotype. We still have aroma. We still have plenty of flowering sites. We still have photographs to take. We still have weeks of watching ahead of us. And most importantly... she's still moving. Fast. 😂🚂💨 That's what I want to focus on. Not the missing cola. The flowers that remain. Not the setback. The progress. Not the disappointment. The next chapter. Because that's where we're going. Forward. ──────────────────────── 📸 Now We Photograph What Remains And looking at the photographs from this week... I'm happy we kept documenting her. Because she's still worth photographing. Very much so. The remaining flowers have their own beauty. The structure is still interesting. The plant still has plenty of personality. And now, perhaps more than ever, I want to document her properly. Because this is part of her story. Not the story we expected. But her story nonetheless. And when we look back at this diary later... we'll know exactly what happened. We'll remember the main cola. We'll remember losing it. And we'll remember that the rest of the plant kept going. That's what these photographs are for. ──────────────────────── 🚂 FINAL THOUGHTS — MAKE WHAT'S LEFT SHINE Week 13. And Cash Express Pheno A has had a rough little chapter. We missed the previous report. We lost the main cola. And yes... it was a pity. A big one. 💔🌸 But we've dealt with it. The affected part has been removed. The remaining flowers are showing no signs of the same issue. She's still developing. She's still moving quickly. She's still aromatic. She's still beautiful in her own unique way. And she's still very much part of this adventure. So I'm not going to sit here feeling sorry for what we lost. I'm going to look at what remains... and appreciate it. Because there's plenty here to appreciate. 🌸💚 The main cola may have left the story. But Cash Express Pheno A hasn't. She's still writing. And we're still reading. 😂🚂💨 So let's make her shine. Let's give the remaining flowers the spotlight. Let's appreciate every single one of them. Let's watch her continue to evolve. Let's keep the room stable. Let's keep observing. And let's see what this girl can still give us. Because if there's one thing this plant has already shown us... it's that she doesn't sit still for long. She's moving. She's evolving. She's doing her thing. And now... we're going to help her shine with what's left. 🚂🌸💚✨ Things happen. We move on. We take care of the plants. And we keep growing. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us keep the room consistent throughout this experiment. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these reports on GrowDiaries. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for the questions. Thank you for the support. And thank you for following even when the story isn't perfect. Because that's what makes these diaries real. Sometimes we celebrate. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we say: "Fuck... we lost that one." 😂 And then we clean up, we move forward, and we keep documenting. Cash Express Pheno A has lost her main cola.
