the flowering starts to kick in now, the stems of this plant smell like cherry bubblegum with a hint of glue

I started adding liquid KoolBloom to my reservoir at the start of week 6 after the switch to 12/12. The buds are starting to fill out. Looks like maybe another 2-3 weeks to finish.

Smells and tastes straight like a banana smoothie

Very huge plant … with big nuggets

Day 49 - Clearly she's starting to get to the end of the life-cycle. The nutrient reserves are being used up in the leaves, although I also suspect a bit of nutrient lockout as well. Today only gave PH'ed water. After taking another look at the trichomes today, I'm starting to wonder if she really is ready for harvest yet or not 😅 I guess I'll take another video in a few days and see how they look then. The pistils are curling in though now, so that's one sign that harvest is getting closer. Day 53 - Watered again today; she was a little droopy 😳 PH was about 6.05 And took another video of the trichomes...a good one this time. And what do you know...plenty of the trichomes still look clear AF, although I do notice some amber ones. Going to wait until at least next week for sure now to harvest.

Geht langsam in Richtung Ernte, so 2 Wochen dann verpasse ich der Pflanze Flash Clean und Final Part von Terra Aquatica. Das ist dann auch nochmal 1 gute Woche. Die Trichome müssen für mich jetzt nicht Amber sein, bin mega ungeduldig.. Bin mal gespannt wieviel die Madame Orange Bud auf die Waage bringt.. Bye

The smell is an absolute 10/10 guys. I recommand that strain!!!

Gente !! sono arrivate alla 4° Settimana di fioritura...pensavo diventassero hermafrodita, per il forte stress subito,ma invece ho visto che ha solo fatto un paio di nanners(bananine)...sto controllando giornalmente che non c'è n'è altri e specialmente che non rilasciano polline altrimenti mi impollina tutto.e per ora non ho bisogno di semi,🤣😂💪.cmq stanno bene

Dropped using the Bloom this week to address the tip burn & added more bamboo to support the colas, hope to harvest in a couple weeks I think.

Hello gromies Week 11 goes to the end tropicana No3 is ready for cut...tomorrow tropicana No2 (dont believe that fast buds delivered tropicana) seem to need longer both grows with different living soil types...explanation see week1 by the way I like a bit overripped!

SMOOTHIE AUTO (Fastbuds) 42 days from sprout. At the end of the sixth week and she started getting taller quickly. Almost doubled her height this week. Leaves mostly look good and bud spots are building.

Last week before flushing🌈

Day 57/F15: 8/6 -removed a few fan leaves -raised lights as high as they go, hoping vertical growth haults soon -feeding each 1L before and after work (in a rush) -CRAZY WATER LEAK DIRECTLY ONTO TOP OF TENT, it was damn near raining through the inline opening. very concerned with how this will be resolved, seems to be leaking from my bathroom above Day 58/F16: 8/7 -put a kiddy pool on top of tent for leak lol -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 59/F17: 8/8 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 60/F18: 8/9 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed Day 61/F19: 8/10 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed *no runoff today, will stick with same amounts tomorrow before i increase *noticed some browning on the pistils at 2 budsites, somewhat concerned about this Day 62/F20: 8/11 -GB 3L feed -BD 2.5L feed -shang/orange 1.7L feed (increase shang to 1.8 tm, shang put on incredible growth during stretch which i think is virtually over) Day 63/F21: 8/12 -did as much of the day 21 defoliation that i could. difficult to reach the shang in the back but hopefully i opened up enough space -in a rush, doing 2 waterings today: -GB 2L feed -BD 1.5L feed -shang/orange 1L (each getting another 1L after work)

DIREKTE I UNDERLAGET OG HAR OVERLEVET MINUS 2 grader og 0 grader! Og er startet op udendørs også jeg elsker denne konkurrence! Held og Lykke med det hele til alle sammen på growD! From Nicogreen the one and only REAL NICOGREEN 💚💚💚💚💛🖤💚💛

Vamos familia, cosecha de estas Granny’s Home de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. Que locura la pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y muy prietas, aparte son bien aromáticas huelen bien fuerte. En general es una genética con la que disfruté bastante cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para cultivos de floración corta con rangos entre los 20/25 grados en interior, es bien fácil cultivarla y bien resistente, es excelente para cultivadores principiantes. Hasta aquí es todo, agradecer a Mikele, Giorgio de Seedstockers, y al equipo Agrobeta por hacer posible este proyecto espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

7.21 ft tall, sturdy branches in the final days of preflowering. Absolutely no defoliation or fertilization, the soil provides for all nutritional needs, for now. Maleb is in flowering, very early girl.

Plain water feed started. Will feed for a week. Induce 48hrs of darkness then harvest. Buds look look to be around the perfect time for harvest. A little early vs the reccomended harvest date but overall happy with size and trichomes so see no reason not too.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 6 | Flowers Take the Lead One of the things I enjoy most about running a phenotype hunt is watching each plant reveal her personality one week at a time. Some explode with vigorous stretch. Others remain compact while quietly building flowers. Cash Express Pheno A seems to have found her own rhythm. Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining this diary for the first time, every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of deciding when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, every seed receives 12 hours of light from the day it germinates, allowing each phenotype to determine its own pace. Six weeks in, Cash Express Pheno A has fully embraced flowering. Now the focus is no longer on making flowers... It's about building them. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Engine Starts Running This week brought one of my favourite moments of early flower. The fresh white pistils that first appeared last week are now multiplying rapidly, and nearly every branch has begun forming small clusters that will eventually become proper buds. The plant may not be the tallest in the room, nor the largest, but she's proving that size isn't everything. Her energy is clearly being invested where it matters. Flower production. The internodes remain nicely spaced, allowing excellent light penetration throughout the canopy, while every growing tip seems eager to become its own flowering site. It's still early... But the blueprint for harvest is already being drawn. ⸻ 🌿 A Hands-Off Approach One thing that hasn't changed this week is my philosophy. Apart from a little gentle leaf tucking, I've deliberately avoided unnecessary intervention. No heavy defoliation. No aggressive pruning. No major training. Early flowering is one of the busiest periods in a plant's life. She's stretching, producing flowers, expanding her root system and adjusting her hormonal balance all at once. Whenever possible, I prefer letting her focus on that work instead of recovering from mine. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the way. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Continues To Deliver The AutoPot system continues doing exactly what it was designed to do. With the AquaValve automatically supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the tray empties, the plant has complete control over when she drinks. There's no guessing. No fixed watering schedule. Just healthy roots deciding when they need food and water. Week after week, she continues responding beautifully to this consistency, maintaining steady growth while allowing me to focus on observation instead of constant irrigation. Sometimes the smartest systems are also the simplest. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week's reservoir remained straightforward and stable, consisting of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The slight increase in nutrition made last week appears to have done exactly what I hoped. A few of the oldest fan leaves continue fading as the plant naturally reallocates nutrients toward new growth, but the process remains slow, controlled and completely expected. The upper canopy looks healthy, vibrant and full of life. Sometimes older leaves simply finish their job. And that's perfectly okay. Solution parameters remained stable at approximately EC 1.78 mS/cm with a pH of 6.0, providing a comfortable balance for continued flower development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very consistent throughout the week. • Day temperature averaged 29°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Solution temperature stayed close to 22°C • Root zone averaged approximately 21°C • Relative humidity remained near 60% • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged roughly 639 ppm With flowers now beginning to establish themselves across the canopy, maintaining stable conditions becomes increasingly important. Healthy roots, consistent nutrition and a predictable environment allow the plant to dedicate her energy where it matters most—building flowers rather than reacting to stress. Everything continues moving exactly as planned. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week's Photos This week's photographs capture a very enjoyable stage of the grow. The close-up shots highlight clusters of bright white pistils appearing at nearly every flowering site, while the full-plant portraits reveal a beautifully balanced structure with evenly spaced branches reaching toward the light. One detail that also stands out is the gradual fading of a few lower fan leaves. I intentionally include these moments because real grows aren't about chasing perfection. They're about understanding what the plant is telling us. In this case, she's simply shifting resources toward the next stage of her journey. And honestly... She looks fantastic doing it. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring one of the most exciting transitions yet. The stretch will begin slowing down, while the flowers themselves should start stacking more aggressively along each branch. I'll continue keeping my hands mostly off the plant, limiting myself to occasional leaf tucking whenever a large fan leaf shades an important flowering site. The goal remains simple. Provide the best possible environment... ...and let the genetics do what they were designed to do. If she continues on this path, the coming weeks should become very exciting. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you to everyone following this journey and growing alongside me. Whether you're here to learn something new, compare techniques, ask questions, or simply enjoy watching these beautiful plants develop, I'm genuinely grateful to have you here. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, learn and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal their unique character with every passing week. 🌿 Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire project. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation beautifully simple while allowing the plants themselves to decide when they want to drink. And finally... Thank you to every grower who stops by these diaries. Every comment, every question, every bit of encouragement—and even every constructive criticism—helps make this project more valuable for the entire growing community. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week as Cash Express Pheno A leaves early flower behind and begins the exciting journey of turning these fresh white pistils into the resin-covered flowers we've all been waiting for. 🌱🚂💚

Both plants are producing an abundance of tricome, they are also starting to swell. Nose is very pungent, not strains you want to grow if you are looking to be low key.
