March, 30th One Plant was ready, and was Harvested today She smells like fruit Bubblegum. Buds are smaller but very solid The other Plants still flowering, and smelling very much and quite deilicious They are drinking like Barmaids, around one LLiter per Day Feeding every other Day. And Buds are swelling more and more each Day. Its a big Fun to open the Tent UPDATE The Harvested Buds are shiny like diamonds,,, gittering allover, nice dense Buds

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 6 | Building Sweet Foundations Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest rewards of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is watching each one reveal her own personality. Some race into flower. Others take their time. Some grow broad, powerful leaves. Others reach for the sky with elegant spacing between every node. Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to prove that she's a lady who likes to do things her own way. Still growing under the 12/12 From Seed method, she has now settled comfortably into early flowering. The explosive stretch is beginning to slow, and all that energy is gradually being redirected toward what matters most now... Building flowers. Every day her structure becomes a little more defined, and every new pistil reminds us that this beautiful lady is only just getting started. ⸻ 🌼 Early Flowers Becoming Real Bud Sites One of the biggest changes this week isn't dramatic at first glance, but it's incredibly exciting once you know what you're looking for. Last week we celebrated the appearance of the first white pistils. This week those tiny flowers have begun gathering together, forming the first recognizable bud sites across the entire plant. The main cola is starting to establish itself, while every branch is producing neat little clusters that will eventually connect into long, resin-coated flowers. It's one of my favourite stages of any grow. Everything is still delicate and full of promise, but you can already begin to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. The blueprint has been drawn. Now the construction begins. ⸻ 🍃 Those Beautiful Giant Leaves If there is one feature that continues stealing the spotlight, it's those incredible fan leaves. They're still enormous. Wide, elegant and working around the clock as natural solar panels, capturing every available photon and converting it into energy for flower production. This week I also noticed some of the older lower leaves becoming a lighter shade of green. I'm not concerned. During the transition into flowering it's common for vigorous plants to increase their nutrient demand while redirecting energy toward rapid growth and bud formation. Rather than chasing perfection, I prefer listening carefully to what the plant is telling me. We'll continue monitoring her closely, making small adjustments only when they're truly needed. Healthy growing is about observation, not overreaction. And overall... This beautiful lady still looks full of life and determination. ⸻ 🌱 AutoPot Doing Its Job Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues thriving in the AutoPot system. By allowing the plant to decide when she drinks, the root zone remains consistently supplied without the repeated wet-and-dry cycles of traditional watering. One of the things I appreciate most about this system is how quietly it does its work. There's no timer deciding when the plant should eat. The plant makes that decision herself. As her flowers continue developing and daily water consumption increases, the AutoPot will simply keep following her rhythm. It's a partnership more than a watering system. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week This week's nutrient program continued supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining enough nutrition for the final stages of the stretch. The feeding schedule included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick when required The focus now shifts gradually away from vegetative growth and toward flower production. As always, changes are made carefully and based on the plant's response rather than following a fixed calendar. Every phenotype speaks a slightly different language. Learning to understand that language is one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for continued flower development. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With the stretch beginning to slow, humidity has started coming down compared to earlier weeks. Lower humidity encourages healthy flower development while maintaining excellent transpiration and reducing future risks as the buds become denser. A stable environment allows the plants to focus their energy where we want it most—building flowers. ⸻ 📸 Watching the Story Unfold This week's photographs capture a plant that is quietly entering a new chapter. The towering fan leaves still dominate the canopy, but now they're sharing the stage with dozens of fresh flower sites emerging from every branch. Looking back through previous weeks makes the transformation even more impressive. What started as a young seedling has become a strong, elegant plant preparing for the busiest weeks of her life. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting every stage. These photos aren't just memories. They're milestones. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowers to become noticeably larger as more pistils emerge and the first signs of stacking begin. The stretch should gradually come to an end, allowing the plant to invest more and more energy into flower production. We'll continue watching the lighter lower leaves, making gentle adjustments if necessary while allowing the rest of the plant to keep doing what she's already doing so well. Sometimes the healthiest gardens aren't the ones where we intervene the most. They're the ones where we learn when to simply observe. Chem Brûlée Pheno A seems determined to remind me of exactly that. ⸻ 💚 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 truly grateful to have you along for the journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge, experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Zamnesia for providing the beautiful genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting throughout the entire cycle. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even those who challenge me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make these diaries far more meaningful than they would ever be on their own. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue turning those giant leaves into the energy needed to build what already promises to be something very special. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Buds are ripe and stinky 🔥

painted the senecas for sure, culled the male. both turkish are pretty well seeded out, i’m thinking maybe 20-30 seeds each, 15 fully formed and good. the senecas look lightly pollinated, maybe 15-20, 10 fully formed and good. still will be usable beans. next run after this will be good, hopefully stable genetics. gonna try for a turkish male and focus on the turkish x afghan cross, while saving the seneca x turkish for later.

[Day 10] 7/07/21 periodically playing various music and nature sounds, adding more crystals and just watching the plants grow...👽 [Day 11] 7/09/21 lowered the lights from 30" to 24" - 21,000 lux [Day 12] 7/10/21 lowered the lights from 24" to 14" - 35,000 lux

She has very nice smell already, I think his bloom will be very sticky and satisfying ,Already Its 5th week and she’s getting bigger and bigger.

Day 18 of flowering,fed(top dressed) 1/3 cup bud swell watered in with veganic special sauce,soil soaked up3/4 of a gallon before any runoff. Update 2/24/ 2018 Defoliation would have better results next Grow.!

14. Woche, P1 fällt morgen, die ist soweit gut denke ich (ca. 20% aufwärts Bernstein Trichome). P2 braucht leider noch ca. 1 woche länger. 93. Tag ist für P1 das Ende, sie wurde heute vorgetrimmt und zum trocknen aufgehängt. Ergebnisse gibt es wenn die P2 auch geerntet wird, denke nächste Woche um die Zeit. Aber eins kann ich euch versichern, is mit Abstand die schwerste die ich ist jetzt hatte😊🍀🍀. Gebt euch auch mal wie viele Trichome die gute produziert hat, Duft is noch sehr pflanzlich, Blüten sind ziemlich fest gewesen hoffe das es nach dem trocknen noch so ist. Alles in allem super Run. Hoffentlich is die gute bei den Top 10 das wäre ein träumchen, wobei ich es wirklich jedem gönne zu gewinnen und bei soviel starker Konkurrenz geht ich wahrscheinlich unter. ABER was ein geiler Contest trotzdem, hier ein dickes fettes Dankeschön an Zamnesia und Plagron für die Möglichkeit hier überhaupt mitmachen zu dürfen 🙏💙💜 98. Tag , werd die gute am Samstag/Sonntag je nachdem wie ich Zeit finde, umlegen und zum trocknen aufhängen.

Missed 7th week. She looks very well, big and strong, in the process of creating big buds, lots of hope for this one.

Spent eternity trimming! So this is why people call it trim jail. Yield: TM1: 205g Dry | 61g trim - Best growth and color, 7.2 oz yielder! TM2: 177.5g dry | 72.5g trim - Frosty and colorful fruity TM3: 154g dry | 67.2g trim - Even frostier than TM2 but no color more gas TM4: 71g dry | 33.6g trim - Super larfy, still decent taste TM5: 65.3g dry | 19.3g trim - Best Flavor, super gas and sweet Total: 672.8g dry (23.8 oz) | 253.6g trim (9 oz) Flavor is a gassy guava candy with sweet cake after tones. Frost and color is up there, structure is lacking in cola formation. There's a lot more popcorn nugs than hoped for. Definitely due to poor defoliation, lack of scrog, and late PK. Also Besides that, a 672.8g yield would be ~1g/watt - an ideal goal for any starting growers

Day 70 - She grew 4cm this week. Her flowers are not as developed as any of her tent mates, looks like she's going to take her time flowering. That's ok. I'm happy to wait 😀

🌱 Sticky Broccoli – Grow Diary 🌱 Week 10 | Late Veg | Coco + Perlite SCROG net is now installed and canopy is being trained into position 🌐 Branches are being tucked and spread to create an even canopy 🌿 Plant is filling the screen steadily with strong upward growth 🚀 Structure is wide and controlled, setting up for optimal light coverage. Some areas still need final topping to even out height ✂️ Lower growth also needs additional lollipopping to clean up under the canopy. Foliage remains healthy green with good vigor 💪 No signs of stress despite ongoing training. Airflow improved under the canopy 🌬️ Roots fully established in the larger pot ? Watering consistent with light runoff 💧 Environment stable and supporting growth

This week all the plants started to take off in flower. Buds swelling up by the day. Stopped feeding flower burst and added Pk9-18 and advanced meta boost to aid with flowering. Smell has started to increase but not to potent as of yet. EC also increased to 1.6 for increased demand in flower. Also stopped spraying IPM this week as it don't want it to effect the bud smell or taste come harvest.

March 11th. All Seedlings are stable, Looking good Working on Leafset 4 Rooting job is done, now the allover development can Start Plants are sitting in 3l Pots, filled with my Soilmix Watering with Beneficals Spraying with Foliar Feed " Fast Plants Spray" March 13th. Iam done with setting up Now i have another Babytent. and Inside the New Viparspectra XS-1000 and the other Stuff to run the Envoirement I already ca see a difference between both Tents. If you stand outside and just look with Eyesight the Viparspectra seems to be brighter// has another color of Light. I made a Unboxing Video for more informations.

Currently running 2 x P450 Platinum LEDs. Most likely overkill but will be putting a 3rd in next week to get full coverage. Lights currently on half power until flip. Autopots are a dream.

This went very fast with a big yield. The olant started drinking a lot the final weeks and EC went up, she needs water more then nutrients. All buds ripened at the same time no airy buds on this one. Very dense and pure blue dream taste. Very good genetics 10/10

Hey agaaain! Let me start this week by saying wooooow, this was a crazy week and not because I made a mistake but rather because I had to do a lot of things to avoid unnecessary stress. Now allow me to elaborate why I tried to avoid unnecessary stress: I had to move out because the landlord where I lived sold the house (this is the main reason why I couldn't update the journals earlier 😛) and gladly I had friends who already owned an empty grow tent (4x4, I loved the size! 😍) and they allowed me to use it and bring my plants and my lights there for some days. I knew this whole experience would be stressful for my babies, but I had to do it anyway (and I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of flowering 😨). The first visit: Moving them to my friend's house was a non-issue! 👌 I fed the plants at their place (with some extra water and slightly more fertilizers) and everything was great! 😊 The second visit: After two days I visited my babies and the humidity was close to the 85%. That scared me but they also grew a lot during those days which I think was... cool? I installed a new extractor in the tent and used it to get more fresh air inside and obviously that fixed all the humidity issues I had! The plants looked great! 😍 The last visit: After some days I went to their house again and yiiiikes! Here is when the issues began! I couldn't visit earlier (thanks to the move) and the plants were super thirsty! Specially Boomer. I took them to my new house and when they were inside their tent I fed them some pHed water and then I allowed the plants to rest for some extra hours! 😱 Originally I wanted to go into flower after this week but clearly I couldn't start it immediately since the plants were clearly stressed! So I allowed them to rest for a little more! Anyway, the last photos show how the plants look after I allowed them to rest for some extra hours and after feeding them some water. Boomer will still need some more extra time to heal! Thanks everyone for reading! More updates soon! 👊
