Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

Busted out a new soil analyzer, used it on another plants pot that has been having issues, 7PH. Last weeks transplant and used of PHd 7 water worked and cleared my calcium/magnesium lockout but now causing autoflowers and bagseed to grow a bit more slowly. As far as this SD plant, it's still seeing 6.0-.6.15 steady and that's why this plant is bangin' through early vegetation quickly. I've also caught this problem early with this plant and have gone way down on ferts and water amounts. Each afternoon when this plants fan leaves start to look a bit drab, one full cup of straight RO with a quarter tsp. Maxigrow, let that dissolve, fizzle the water and turn pp yellow, 1.5mL Sweet Raw and 2mL Hydrogurad, stir and add by feeder syringe. I'm pretty sure soil is fine too as bot lh my soil readers show 6 and 7 respectively on all pots(should be, same soil, same nutes) but you can literally see plants that I've overfed, this SD plantbis not one of them so soil is well buffered. I'm also scrambling to raise the lights to get all 5 plants good top coverage but the more I raise the lights, the more I see nodes and lateral braching stretch. Definitely not an auto or Indica Dominant. Bought some #2 2.6Gal pots today, will sterilize and coat with copper sulfate and mix up some Ocean Forest with a bit of silica sand, tiny bit of Oak wood ash and also new, Dr. Earths Blood Meal with whats left of my Tree and Nut dry amendments from same company. Have had alot of good results with these mix in or too dress fertilizers, buds are much more dank than when using chemical ferts! I will most likely cut out the maxigro, start using Brier Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses, keep using Floralicious Plus and the Botanicaire line and back with the Alaska Fish Fertilizer, all just in much lighter amounts!! Blood Meal will make this plant HUGE and FAT...just remember...be super skimpy on the amounts used!

I stressed this lady out early accidentally , she bounced back as best as I permitted room for . She bared with me all the way until the end throughout this entire learning cycle . I’m deeply appreciative for the ease of grow & level of bounce back she had . It was the most impressive grow but it didn’t require rocket science to grow this either

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 7 | Listening to What the Plant Is Saying Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the biggest lessons this project continues teaching me is that every phenotype speaks its own language. Some whisper. Some shout. Some ask for almost nothing. And others aren't shy about telling you exactly what they need. Chem Brûlée Pheno A definitely belongs to that second group. Standing at around 120 cm, she's what I would consider a medium-sized indoor plant. She isn't trying to dominate the room with height, nor is she hiding beneath the canopy. Instead, she's growing with a beautiful balanced structure, allowing every branch plenty of space to develop its own flowers. This week she reminded me that healthy cultivation isn't about forcing plants to follow our schedule. It's about paying attention when they ask for something different. 🌿 A Plant That Isn't Afraid to Ask One of the first things I noticed this week was the colour of some of the older foliage. Several lower fan leaves continued becoming lighter green than the rest of the canopy, clearly telling me that this phenotype wanted a little more nutrition than she had been receiving. Rather than seeing this as a problem, I see it as communication. One of the fascinating parts of growing twelve different cultivars side by side is discovering that every plant processes nutrients slightly differently. They all share the same AutoPot reservoir, the same environment, the same lighting and the same feeding schedule, yet each one responds according to its own genetics. Chem Brûlée simply happens to be one of the hungrier ladies in the room. The good news is that after increasing the EC for the entire reservoir, she's already beginning to respond beautifully. The newest growth is noticeably greener and healthier, giving me confidence that we made the right adjustment at exactly the right time. Sometimes plants don't need dramatic interventions. They simply need us to listen. 🌼 Building Beautiful Flowers While the foliage has been asking for a little extra attention, the flowers certainly haven't slowed down. The main cola continues becoming more defined every day, while bud sites keep stacking along every branch throughout the plant. Fresh white pistils continue emerging everywhere, and it's becoming easier to imagine the shape these flowers will eventually take over the coming weeks. The stretch is now beginning to slow. Flower production is taking over. Every day a little less energy goes into growing taller, and a little more goes into building beautiful colas. This is where the fun really begins. 🍃 Letting the Plant Lead Apart from increasing the nutrient strength, this has been another calm week inside the tent. No heavy defoliation. No unnecessary training. Just careful observation and a little leaf tucking whenever needed to expose developing flower sites. I've learned that during these early flowering weeks, patience usually gives better results than constantly reaching for the scissors. The plant already has a plan. Sometimes my job is simply to stay out of her way. 🍽️ Feeding After seeing this phenotype asking for a little more nutrition, the reservoir strength was increased for the entire room. This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick whenever necessary. Since every AutoPot shares the same nutrient reservoir, individual feeding isn't possible. Fortunately, the entire room was ready for the increase, meaning Chem Brûlée benefits from the adjustment alongside all of her sisters. 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running beautifully stable. • Day temperature averaged 29°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Relative humidity averaged 60% • Solution temperature stayed close to 22°C • Root zone remained near 21°C • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged 639 ppm Providing the plants with a stable environment allows them to dedicate their energy toward producing flowers instead of constantly adapting to changing conditions. Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages in this grow. 📸 Behind This Week's Photos This week's photographs tell a wonderful story. The close-up shots reveal beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils beginning to stack into proper flower sites, while the wider images showcase a very balanced plant with elegant branching and excellent spacing throughout the canopy. You can also spot the lighter colour on some of the older leaves that first caught my attention this week, but the newest growth already looks healthier and much richer in colour. It's always satisfying when the plant immediately shows you that she's appreciating the changes you've made. Sometimes photographs become more than memories. They become conversations between grower and plant. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring another exciting step in her development. I expect the flowers to continue stacking as the stretch gradually comes to an end and the plant shifts almost entirely into flower production. I'll also be watching the foliage closely, hoping to see that healthier green colour continue spreading now that the feeding has been increased. The plan remains exactly the same. Maintain a stable environment. Keep the reservoir consistent. Observe carefully. And let the plant do what she does best. Sometimes growing isn't about constantly changing things. Sometimes it's about making one good decision and giving nature the time to respond. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you've been here since Germination Week or you've only recently joined the journey, I'm incredibly grateful to have you along for the ride. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a home where growers from every corner of the world can share knowledge and experiences. 🍮 Zamnesia for providing the incredible Chem Brûlée genetics that continue revealing their personality week after week. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful and consistent lighting throughout the flowering cycle. 🌿 LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping every flower site receive the light it deserves. 🌡️ TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows every phenotype to perform at its best. And finally... Thank you to every grower, supporter, silent reader, friend and curious visitor who stops by these diaries. Every comment, question and discussion makes this project even more rewarding to share. I'll see you all next week as Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues proving that sometimes the most beautiful plants aren't the ones that never ask for anything... They're the ones that teach us how to become better listeners. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Day 30. Girls got water and bacterial feed yesterday. Grow well. Some stretching too much, lights should be lower ... But I alway can use SuperCroping ;))) Hope in two weeks all old plants will be gone and girls will occupy space correctly. Water , then Heavy feed in plans this week, I updated my approx feed plant, just bacterial feed I give once in a week, or in reality approx every 10-11 days .. Constantly spray them with one ml/L of BioHeaven. They get it at least in the morning and most days straight before lights go out. My older plants are almost done, so I have to play with humidity,but never forget BUD ROT !!!! Loads of leaf tucking and small training involved too. Btw, look at plastic pot, all same feed, spray, care, but without humidity dome ... Plant was out, when all other were just dropped into soil ... Mars SP 150 helps me so much in such overcrowded space .... Happy Growing !!!

Veg: She got a long 5 months 1 weeks of growing and growing so big. Kept the feeds up and she drunk everything she got given to her, kept drinking and drinking them foods. I gave her the growth technology grow for the first 4 months of veg and the last month I gave her both growth technology grow/bloom, hydro Coco grow for the last month of veg stage. Gave her so much HST in month 3-4, just kept topping wherever I could, bending her over wherever I could. Really trying the stress her out to make her stretch and stretch. Started to see some real growth in her in the last month of veg stage, just seeing her doubling in size every week till we got in to some true flowering. Flowering: so we got about 8 1/2 weeks of flowering which was amazing. At the beginning of week one we saw some little flowers and by the end of that week we had some beautiful flowers starting to appear. I start pumping as much bloom feed in as I could I was still giving her the grow feed, but slowly bring them down by the end of week 2. We got some amazing weather other these weeks of flowering were we saw these bud truly start to go bigger and bigger, maybe the weather was a bit to hot for the plant at some points in the early flowering as we got some leafs burn from intends sunlight in the greenhouse. In week 3 we had a weekend of extreme heatwave over the country hitting highs of 34c witch in the greenhouse was getting up to 45-50c too hot!!! The water system failed on this weekend as well, what really hit her hard. I did think we was going to loose her that day when I went to see her. From that day I think we all realized that we have to keep a good check on the watering if the days were going to be so hot. I took all the small stems off the plant and really open up the bottom so we could get some more airflow over these really hot weeks we had, it was amazing to get this weather in the UK. Week 4 we did really start to see them buds coming everywhere, the middle of the plant was stretching. By the end of week 4 I think she did stop stretching and started to fatten up. I cut the growth feed out in the end of week 2 but I think I should of kept it up with the bloom feed till we got in to week 4. We was loosing a lot of leaves all over the plant when we got to the end of the stretch, so I pumped her some growth feed with all the same feeds she was on at the beginning of week 5. We did see a lot of leaf improvement all over the plant, with new growth on all the main clones. This played a big part in getting them buds fatter and fatter. Getting to the end of week 5 I stop the growth feed and just gave her more bloom and pk boost double. We really did see some buds popping up everywhere which was amazing and we had no real popcorn corn buds cause of opening her up. Week 6 she was drinking and drinking up everything we would give her no problem, got to get so much food in to her. She must of drunk over 30l of feed mixture doubled in this week. Started to look a lot bushy all over. When we hit week 7 them buds were fat and starting to lean around everywhere so had to give a bit more support, I tide the main clone to the four main canes and then tide all the side clones to wherever I could. She still drunk 25l of double mixture over this week and the temperature in the nights was getting so low this week it would of been getting to 8-14c, then greenhouse did still get nice and hot during the day up to 18-26c

Divine indica is growing really well. She is coming close to the end of bulking. Looks like she is trying to fox tail from the heat oright being too intense. I have been backing off on the light intensity for heat reasons. She had a solution change a few days ago. Everything is wrapping up really well. She will likely start a flush week in about a week roughly. Just depends how fast she keeps grow. She has a earthy, woody kinda aroma. Looks very frosty and delicious. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Dia de la cosecha (63) para Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto Una mezcla de emociones entre la alegría de cosechar estos grandes cogollos y la "tristeza" de que ya no formará parte de mi jardín Una increíble pieza genética desarrollada por @fastbuds_official , ejemplo de como el cutting-edge development de las Autoflower modernas nos puede dar una planta lista para ser cosechada en menos de 60 días (recogida a 63 días por el gusto personal de los tricomas más ámbar) con un perfil terpénico impresionante. Ella ha desarrollado cogollos duros como piedras y con un olor que se mueve entre bol de frutas, cerezas en su punto justo de maduración y un toque de leche cremosa. Una cepa que todo el mundo debería cultivar alguna vez en su vida, y que sigue elevando a @fastbuds_official al olimpo de los breeders modernos de autoflorecientes.

There are a lot of rock hard crystal laden purple buds that come from these plants. The smell is intoxicating and the look matches. There’s a bit of a head rush upon exhale and tingly sensation that rushes over your face for a sec. From there you’ve got a creative productive period that melts into total relaxation. We smoked this all day yesterday and had a very productive day followed by a couch-locked 3 holiday film marathon. Forgot to make dinner lol but didn’t forget to eat. Great times Overall the grow went well. We think we could’ve used less training over all and let the ladies get tall like they like. That said, we’re really happy with the yield given that we were figuring out a lot of stuff as we went. We have more of an established system now and expect to see some improved results in the future. We’re going right back in with another batch before we pop some exciting seeds. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing! ✌️🏼🙏🏼🌳
