The grow is going exactly as planned so far, and the plant was topped on day 16. To minimize stress from the procedure and boost recovery, I bumped up the relative humidity, dropping the VPD for 24 hours. At the same time, I slightly dialed back the light intensity for this short recovery phase. โ€‹I watered twice this week with one liter of nutrient solution each time. The first feed was at an EC of 1.8, and for the second one, I lowered it a little to an EC of 1.4. โ€‹Right after the short recovery phase, I applied some LST to pull the final 4 main shoots outwards. By the end of the week, the light intensity was increased again and is now sitting at 75% (around 450โ€“500 PPFD). The plant is now ready for a very early flip to the 12/12 light schedule.

Outstanding results for an outstanding strain. What else can we say, the buds are perfect, covered in a nice thick layer of trichomes. Organge citrus terpenes are strongly available all around the tent combined with a gassy background, a true orange juice flavored strain. Simply amazing! Extremely happy with the high amount of trichomes on the plant!

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11.

๐ŸŒฟ Lava Cake โ€“ Week 5 (First Week Flower) | Pre-Bloom & Heat Talk ๐ŸŒฟ The Lava Cakes have officially stepped into their flowering tentโ€ฆ though, to be fair, theyโ€™re still enjoying a little extra veg time before showing pistils. Both phenos are healthy, lush, and stretching beautifully, clearly ready for the show ahead. โธป ๐Ÿ“ธ Photo Studio Glam We took them out for another studio shoot, bright lights, clean background, and every angle showing off their deep greens and perfect branching. Soon, their beauty will be dressed in flowers, but for now, the leaf structure alone is worthy of the spotlight. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Current Conditions โ€ข Room Temp: 31ยฐC โ€ข Humidity: 50.3% โ€ข VPD: 2.23 kPa โ€ข PPFD: 766 ยตmol/mยฒ/s โ€ข Soil EC: ~2.0 โ€ข Soil Temp: 25.6ยฐC Yes, the temperature is running hot โ€” AC unit is on the way to lock it back into our ideal zone. โธป ๐Ÿ’ฌ Heat in the Grow Room โ€“ Risks & Benefits Potential Risks: โ€ข Faster substrate drying = more frequent irrigation needed โ€ข Higher transpiration rates can stress plants if roots canโ€™t keep up โ€ข Slightly increased risk of light stress at high PPFD without proper cooling โ€ข Possible reduced terpene retention if sustained into late flower Possible Benefits (short term in veg/pre-flower): โ€ข Accelerated metabolism โ€” plants grow and stretch faster โ€ข Increased water/nutrient uptake (if well-fed and watered on time) โ€ข Can improve COโ‚‚ usage efficiency if levels are high enough Bottom line: As long as theyโ€™re hydrated, fed, and ventilated, short bursts of high temp are manageable. But for flowering, we want to keep daytime temps closer to 24โ€“28ยฐC for optimal quality. โธป ๐Ÿ’ง Watering Strategy We water when the soil dries to about 25% moisture remaining, this encourages: โ€ข Stronger root growth searching for water โ€ข Better oxygenation of the root zone โ€ข Less risk of root rot in warm temps Right now: Theyโ€™re drinking daily due to the heat, so weโ€™re feeding daily as well. โธป Current Feeding (per L of water) โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€“ 0.15 ml โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€“ 0.25 ml โ€ข Aptus All-in-One Liquid โ€“ 1 ml โ€ข Aptus Top Booster โ€“ 0.25 ml With the increased drinking rate, nutrient uptake has increased โ€” meaning no signs of deficiency, just steady lush green. โธป ๐Ÿš€ Looking Ahead โ€ข AC installation will stabilize temps, allowing tighter VPD control โ€ข First signs of pistils should appear within the next 7โ€“10 days โ€ข Weโ€™ll begin adjusting feed ratios for early bloom once flowers set โ€ข Light intensity will climb further as stretch continues โธป ๐Ÿ’š Closing Note: This week is all about momentum, heat or no heat, the Lava Cakes are pushing upward, prepping themselves for a heavy flower load. The environment tweaks are on the way, and weโ€™re building them the perfect stage for their bloom performance. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

I kept on doing buisness as usual. Thought I would defoliate less, but there are still so many leafs and so many growing. So mid week I got rid of a lot of leafs. The flowers really started going off this week and the plants get more and more sticky. The plants did quite the stretch and I might have to put the ventilation system out of the grow tent next week. The plant in the top right corner was a little more yellowish and had a burnt tips so this week I only gave her water. All plants got water between 6.0 -6.3 to compensate the high run off from last week.

๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒธ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ’š The Main Cola Is Gone, But This Girl Is Still Full Speed Ahead! Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well, my friends... Let's start with the elephant in the room. Or, in this case... the missing main cola. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒธ Yes, we lost her. And no matter how many times I say it, it doesn't make it any less of a bummer. She was a beautiful cola, and losing her was definitely not part of the plan. But you know what? We're still here. Cash Express is still here. The remaining flowers are still developing. And this girl? She's still moving FAST! ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’š That's one of the things that stands out when I look at her alongside the rest of the room. Unlike our Blueberry Muffin sisters, who seem perfectly comfortable taking the scenic route, Cash Express is continuing to move forward at a much quicker pace. She's developing. She's changing. She's getting on with her own journey. And although losing that main cola hurt, I'm not going to let one unfortunate chapter overshadow everything else this girl has going for her. We acknowledge what happened. We learn from it. We keep observing the remaining flowers. And we continue documenting her journey honestly. Because this is the 8ร—8 Adventure. Not every week is perfect. Not every flower makes it to the finish. But every chapter has something to teach us. So let's put a smile back on our faces, give this girl the spotlight she deserves, and appreciate what she's still showing us. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THE MAIN COLA IS GONE โ€” BUT CASH EXPRESS IS STILL HERE Let's get this out of the way first. Yes, we lost the main cola to bud rot. And yes, it was a bummer. A big one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’” When you've spent weeks watching a plant develop, photographing her, documenting her changes, and looking forward to seeing how everything turns out, losing one of the major flowers is frustrating. There's no point pretending otherwise. But growing is not a perfectly scripted journey. Sometimes something goes wrong. Sometimes we have to remove part of a plant. And sometimes the best thing we can do is accept what happened and focus on what remains. That's where we are now. The affected main cola was removed, and we're continuing to observe the remaining flowers. We're not going to pretend the loss didn't happen. We're also not going to let it define the entire plant. Because Cash Express Pheno A still has her own structure, her own flowers, and her own story to tell. The main cola was one chapter. It wasn't the whole book. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ FULL SPEED AHEAD โ€” THIS GIRL IS STILL MOVING! And this is where Cash Express really starts to separate herself from some of the slower plants in the room. She's moving. She's progressing. She's continuing her journey without waiting for everybody else to catch up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ We've seen a very different rhythm from the Blueberry Muffin sisters. Those girls are beautiful, but they're taking their time. Cash Express? She seems to have somewhere to be. And apparently, she's already late. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ The difference is fascinating because we're watching these plants share the same general room environment while expressing very different patterns of development. The same calendar doesn't mean the same biological timetable. Some plants progress more quickly. Some develop more slowly. And some seem to change noticeably every time we return with the camera. Cash Express belongs firmly in that last category. Even after losing her main cola, she's still giving us plenty to observe. She's still moving forward. And that's what I want to celebrate this week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ LET'S FOCUS ON WHAT REMAINS It's easy to keep thinking about the flower we lost. I get it. I do it too. But if we spend the entire report looking backward, we miss what's happening right in front of us. And there's still plenty happening. The remaining flowers have their own structure and character. The plant is continuing to develop, and we're following that progression through the photographs. This is why I want to keep documenting her individually. Because Cash Express Pheno A is more than the one flower we had to remove. She's a complete plant with a whole collection of flowering sites, and the rest of her journey deserves attention too. So let's turn the camera toward what remains. Let's appreciate the flowers that are still here. Let's keep observing. And let's give those remaining parts of the plant their own moment in the spotlight. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! The idea behind this project is simple: Different genetics and phenotypes sharing the same general growing environment. Same room. Same lighting ecosystem. Same 12/12 schedule. Same general nutritional approach. Same grower. Different plants. Different structures. Different personalities. Different timelines. And sometimes... very different experiences. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ The Blueberry Muffin sisters are taking their time. Cash Express is moving faster. Other plants have their own patterns of development, their own structures, and their own responses to the shared environment. That's what makes this experiment interesting. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're documenting what actually happens. And that includes the beautiful moments, the unexpected moments, and the moments when we have to admit that something went wrong. The loss of this main cola is part of Cash Express Pheno A's story. But so is everything she's continuing to do. And we're here for all of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” DIFFERENT RESPONSES The lighting setup remains unchanged this week. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment remaining part of the upgraded setup. After introducing those extra fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug rather than simply running everything at maximum. Our working reference remains around: โ˜€๏ธ Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Actual intensity varies with plant height and position, so this is an upper-canopy reference rather than a claim that every flower receives exactly the same intensity. And Cash Express? She's continuing her journey under the same general lighting environment as the rest of the room. Same artificial sun. Same general setup. Different genetic expression. This is one of the most interesting parts of following multiple plants together. We can provide a shared environment, but we shouldn't expect every plant to respond in exactly the same way. The lighting is one part of the picture. The plant's genetics, physiology, developmental stage, and overall condition also matter. And Cash Express is giving us her own version of the story. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿš‚ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional fixtures and helping us expand the lighting capability of the 8ร—8 Adventure! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ A LITTLE RED LIGHT โ€” WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING? Now, let's talk about the extra 15 minutes of red light after the main lighting period. We're including this in our lighting routine and documenting it as part of the setup we're exploring. But I want to explain the science properly, because red light, far-red light, and the transition into darkness are related topics โ€” not interchangeable ones. Plants have photoreceptors that help them interpret their light environment. One important group is the phytochromes, which respond to red and far-red wavelengths. These photoreceptors can help plants detect changes in light conditions and participate in signalling processes associated with development and environmental responses. Red and far-red light can influence plant responses in different ways, depending on the spectrum, intensity, duration, timing, and surrounding conditions. That's the interesting part. However, a 15-minute red-light period after the main lights switch off should not automatically be described as a proven way to improve flowering, increase yield, or help every plant transition into darkness. Those outcomes depend on the actual conditions and the response being measured. For this run, we're documenting the treatment we're using rather than promising a result we haven't established. And that distinction matters. We're growers, but we're also observers. It's perfectly fine to explore an idea while remaining honest about what the evidence does and doesn't tell us. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ QUICK SCIENCE BREAK โ€” THE EMERSON EFFECT Since we're talking about light, let's take a little detour into photosynthesis. The Emerson effect is a real phenomenon discovered through experiments investigating how plants use different wavelengths of light. In simplified terms, researchers observed that photosynthetic activity could increase when certain red and far-red wavelengths were supplied together, beyond what would be expected from their individual effects under the conditions studied. Why is that important? Because photosynthesis involves two cooperating photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both participate in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, helping drive the processes involved in converting light energy into chemical energy. Different wavelengths can contribute differently to the activity of these systems. Under suitable conditions, combining wavelengths can improve their overall cooperation and increase photosynthetic performance. That's the fascinating science behind the Emerson effect. But here's the important distinction: The Emerson effect is not simply another name for adding 15 minutes of red light at the end of the day. The classic effect concerns photosynthetic responses under particular illumination conditions. An end-of-day red-light treatment is a different lighting situation, and we shouldn't assume that it automatically reproduces the same effect. The actual spectrum matters. The intensity matters. The timing matters. And the biological response matters. So, yes, the Emerson effect is a fascinating part of plant science. But we're not going to claim that our short red-light period triggers it or guarantees a better result. We're documenting the setup, learning about the science, and keeping our conclusions grounded. That's how I prefer to approach these things. Curiosity first. Observation second. Claims only when the evidence supports them. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒ™ RED LIGHT AND THE DARK PERIOD โ€” A USEFUL DISTINCTION One more thing worth clarifying. A plant's response to light isn't determined by colour alone. Photoreceptors respond to particular wavelength ranges, and the plant's overall response depends on how those signals interact with its environment and internal biological processes. Red light and far-red light are not the same. A red-light treatment after the main lighting period is not automatically equivalent to a far-red treatment, nor does it guarantee a particular response to the following dark period. Our main lighting schedule remains 12/12, with the additional 15-minute red-light period recorded separately. We're keeping that distinction clear in our reports because understanding what we're actually doing is more useful than repeating a claim without explaining it. And if we learn something interesting from the experiment, we'll have our observations to look back on. That's the point of documenting the run. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒ™ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” THE ROOM CONTINUES AS BEFORE We're keeping the general nutritional program unchanged this week. No new recipe for Cash Express. No attempt to force her to move faster. And no special nutritional adjustment simply because we lost the main cola. The current recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L Current solution readings remain approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” 6.04 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm The overall nutritional approach remains consistent across the room. We're observing the plants as individuals while maintaining the general setup. Cash Express is continuing to progress, and that's what we're documenting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœ‚๏ธ NO NEED TO INVENT MORE WORK After dealing with the affected main cola, there's no reason to turn this into a week of unnecessary intervention. The important thing was to address the affected flower and continue paying attention to the remaining plant. Now we're observing. We're documenting. We're keeping an eye on the remaining flowers. And we're allowing the plant to continue her journey. Sometimes growing requires action. Sometimes it requires patience. And sometimes it requires accepting that something happened, dealing with it, and moving on without making the situation bigger than it needs to be. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Cash Express has already had her unfortunate moment. Now let's give the rest of her story some room. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA IS STILL COMING OUT One thing I don't want to change is our commitment to documenting the plants properly. These photographs become a record of what happened during the run. They let us look back at the flowers, compare different stages, and remember how the plants developed. And in this case, they also help us document a less-than-perfect moment honestly. The missing main cola is part of the record. So are the remaining flowers. Both matter. Because a grow diary shouldn't only show the moments when everything looks fantastic. It should show the journey. The good. The bad. The unexpected. And the things we learn along the way. Cash Express Pheno A is still a beautiful plant worth photographing. So let's keep the camera on her. Let's keep documenting. And let's see what the rest of her journey brings. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š A SETBACK DOESN'T HAVE TO BECOME THE WHOLE STORY I think this is the part I want to leave with everyone this week. We lost a beautiful main cola. It sucks. There's no point dressing that up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’” But we can acknowledge that disappointment without allowing it to overshadow everything else. Cash Express is still here. She's still developing. She's still moving quickly. And she still deserves our attention. The rest of her journey matters just as much as the part we lost. So we're moving forward with a smile. We're keeping the diary honest. We're continuing to observe. And we're appreciating the flowers that remain. That's how we grow. That's how we learn. And that's how we keep the 8ร—8 Adventure real. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” CASH EXPRESS IS STILL FULL SPEED AHEAD Week 14. Cash Express Pheno A. The main cola is gone. And yes, it's still a bummer. ๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒธ But this girl is still moving. She's still progressing. She's still developing. And she's continuing to show us her own expression while sharing the same general environment as the rest of the room. Unlike our slower Blueberry Muffin sisters, Cash Express is moving along at a much quicker pace. Different plants. Different rhythms. Different stories. That's what this experiment is all about. This week, we've also taken the opportunity to talk about the extra 15-minute red-light period and the science behind the Emerson effect. Red and far-red light can influence plant signalling and photosynthetic responses, but we need to be precise about the differences between these treatments and the conditions under which specific effects have been demonstrated. We're exploring, documenting, and learning โ€” without pretending that every lighting idea automatically produces a guaranteed benefit. And as for Cash Express? We're giving her the spotlight. Not because everything went perfectly. Not because we got to keep every flower. But because she's still here, still developing, and still part of this adventure. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ The main cola may be gone. The smile is back. The camera is ready. And the story continues. Keep moving, Cash Express. Keep showing us what you can do. And let's make the flowers that remain shine! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ 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 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. ๐ŸŒฑ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of this room. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Thank you for the comments, the questions, the support, and for appreciating the honest side of the journey as well as the beautiful photographs. Because this is what growing looks like. Sometimes we celebrate. Sometimes we learn. Sometimes we lose a flower we really wanted to see through to the end. And then we keep going. Cash Express Pheno A has had a setback, but she still deserves her own story, her own photographs, and her own spotlight. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep documenting the science and the observations behind the grow. And let's keep giving every individual plant the attention she deserves. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿš‚

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 1 since time change to 12/12 h. Hi guys :-) . The time has finally come ๐Ÿ‘ You have been switched to 12/12 hrs and are ready to flower. Of course, cuttings were cut beforehand to keep the genetics. For 4 days now she has also been getting Fast Buds from GreenBuzzLiquids. They were also sprayed again with GBL Fast Plant spray. She is very healthy and I am excited to see how she gets going again in bloom :-). This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l each time (for nutrients, see nutrient table above). Then I filled canisters with fresh osmosis water for the next few weeks ๐Ÿ‘. The tent was cleaned and every plant was checked for health. At the moment I am tinkering with the ventilation because there are currently 4 fans with 4 activated carbon filters running, which I want to make more efficient by putting a hose through 2 tents. These are the things about which you desperately at the beginning but learned from them in the end. I wish you all a nice week.
