7/3/22 Stella is still moving along with the late bloom nutrient level this week. Sheโ€™s getting close to the ripening stage, but still a week away. Today she received a full gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH was 6.6, and wasnโ€™t adjusted. She took nearly the whole gallon before giving back some runoff, but it was sufficient. The runoff pH was 6.3. The tent was 80.5F, with a humidity of 60%. She is starting to fatten up and her branches are starting to get weighed down. Iโ€™ve already used all of my LST poles on other plants, so Iโ€™m going to have to figure out a way to make more space. She sits in the middle of the tent, surrounded by 4 of her daughters, and a smaller auto-period plant sitting on a box in front of her. My tent is FULL! I ran out of time today and didnโ€™t get any new pics of her, so I added one that I didnโ€™t use the other day. Take care, and happy growing everyone! If youโ€™re in the USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ, July 4th๐Ÿ’ฅ, happy Independence Day!! 7/5/22 Well, it finally happened! Stellaโ€™s branches have gotten heavy enough to tip her over when she has space to herself. She is in the tent with several other large plants (her 4 daughters + 1), so she rests nestled amongst them, so she stands. When I took two of her daughters out of the tent to feed them, she tipped right over. To make a VERY long story short; I tied her upright with almost all of her branches bundled up loosely so that they all get light, then fastened her to the back of the tent. Itโ€™s going to make feeding her tricky, but sheโ€™ll be stable, and getting full light exposure. It also opens up more space in the tent. Not much, but some. I tied up her daughters branches too. Enough about that. She received a full gallon of water mixed with the same nutrient level as the last feeding noted above. The solution pH was 6.5, and wasnโ€™t adjusted. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3. The tent was 83F, and humidity was 65%. Thatโ€™s a little high to me, at least compared to my previous grows. However, my tent has never been this full before. I adjusted the fan to a higher height, and with all the plants tied up somewhat using LST methods, Iโ€™ve increased open space between them with hope of improving air flow. Weโ€™ll have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone! 7/7/22 Iโ€™m just going to write the basics today. Stella is still triced up nicely in the back of the tent so that she doesnโ€™t fall over because of the weight of her own branches. Her buds are continuing to fatten up, and she looks lovely! Orange hairs all through her buds! Yummy!! Sheโ€™s still getting the late bloom nutrients till next week when we actually begin the ripening stage. Today she took a gallon of the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH was 6.6. I thought of adjusting it, but decided that it was good enough. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3. The temp was 83.3F, with a humidity of 54%. I didnโ€™t take any pictures of her today. I was running between 2 rooms, and feeding other plants and just forgot. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Iโ€™ll get pics later. Happy growing everyone!

Now that the plant has started flowering, I defoliated the excess leaf, focusing on apical buds. But unfortunately after defoliation and pressing the lst unfortunately plant b5 breaks the stem in its main apical bud. I was very sad but in life we have to learn from mistakes and stop complaining since the other 4 plants show good growth and vigor we will move on trying to minimize the errors.

It's a nice change of pace to have these warmer temperatures, even if it's not quite spring yet. Low 40s during the day is a lot more comfortable than what we've been dealing with lately. Hopefully, this is a sign that spring's around the corner. My gas tax plant is the star of the tent โ€“ it's looking healthier than ever! The leaves are a perfect shade of green, and those buds are going to be absolutely massive. You're gonna be one proud plant owner when it's ready.

๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€” Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Harvest โ€” Part 1 ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ‘‘ The Compact Beast Has Arrived at Harvest โ€” Dense Flowers, Beautiful Frost, and a Story Worth Celebrating! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure, my friends! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Wellโ€ฆ Here we are again! Harvest time for another beautiful girl from the Cash Express family! ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธโœ‚๏ธ And before we get started, I owe everyone a little explanation. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’š Just like with her sister, we're dividing this harvest into two parts. Why? Because we have a ridiculous number of photographs to share, and I don't want to squeeze everything into one report and lose the details that make this journey worth documenting. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ With the current GrowDiaries photo limit of 30 images for the final report, including the trimming photographs and the smoke review, we have to get a little creative with how we organize everything. And if you've been following me for a while, you already know that asking me to reduce the number of photographs is almost like asking me not to take photographs in the first place. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“ธ There's the harvest itself. There's the studio session. There's the macro photography. There's the drying stage. There's the trimming. And, of course, there's the final review that we'll share when we're ready. That's simply too much to squeeze into one update without sacrificing parts of the story. So we're splitting the reports. ๐Ÿ’š Part 1 โ€” Harvest, Drying, and the First Post-Harvest Photographs. โœ‚๏ธ Part 2 โ€” The Next Stage of the Post-Harvest Journey, Trimming Details, and the Smoke Review when everything is ready. Thank you for bearing with us, everyone! I know some of the explanations will sound familiar if you've just visited Pheno A's report. That's intentional. Each phenotype has her own diary, and not everyone reads every report in order. We want every update to make sense on its own. And now that we've explained the little bit of GrowDiaries gymnastics we're doingโ€ฆ LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS GIRL! Because Cash Express Pheno B deserves a proper celebration. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโ„๏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 A QUICK RECAP โ€” HOW DID WE GET HERE? For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! This project follows twelve individual plants sharing the same general growing environment, allowing us to document their different genetic expressions and individual development. The concept is simple. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional approach. Same 12/12 schedule. Different plants. Different structures. Different personalities. And sometimes, completely different stories. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š One important detail about this run is that we used the 12/12-from-seed technique. Rather than beginning with a separate vegetative lighting schedule, the plants were kept under a 12-hours-on, 12-hours-off light cycle from the beginning. We documented their development from germination and the early growth stages, through the transition into flowering, and all the way to harvest. Week after week, we observed the plants as they developed under the shared conditions. Some grew taller. Some remained compact. Some moved faster. Others took their time. And that's exactly what makes this experiment so interesting. The plants share the same room, but they don't become identical plants simply because they're growing beside each other. Their genetics and individual development contribute to the differences we observe. Cash Express Pheno B is a beautiful example of that. She's a compact plant, but don't let her size fool you. She has developed dense, substantial flowers, a beautiful structure, and plenty of character. And now, after following her through the flowering weeks, we've reached harvest. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’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 CASH EXPRESS PHENO B โ€” SMALLER PLANT, BIG PERSONALITY! My friendsโ€ฆ LOOK AT THIS GIRL! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š She's not the tallest plant in the room. She's not trying to stretch herself into the ceiling. She's not competing for the award for the biggest plant in the tent. And honestly? She doesn't need to. Because what she lacks in overall size, she makes up for with her own beautiful expression. Compact. Dense. Beautifully structured. And absolutely worth the attention. ๐Ÿ’šโ„๏ธ I love plants like this because they remind us that height alone doesn't tell the whole story. You can look at a plant and immediately notice how tall she is. But then you look closer at the flowers. You start paying attention to their structure, their density, their appearance, and all those little details that make each plant unique. And suddenly, the measurement on the side of the diary becomes only one small part of the picture. Cash Express Pheno B has her own presence. She has her own character. And she has given us some beautiful flowers to photograph. She's compact, she's dense, she's beautiful, and she's earned every bit of this spotlight. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ 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 DENSE FLOWERS โ€” LET'S GET CLOSER! One of the things I really wanted to show in this report is the structure of her flowers. Because the closer we look, the more we can appreciate the details. The overall flower shape. The individual structures. The colours. The resin-covered surfaces. And the little details that become much more obvious when we bring the macro lens into the picture. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ That's why I enjoy taking photographs at different scales. The wider photographs give us a sense of the plant as a whole. The closer photographs let us appreciate individual flowers. And the macro photographs take us into a completely different world. You can spend weeks looking at a plant and still discover something new when you change the angle, adjust the focus, or simply take the time to look more carefully. That's what I love about this part of the adventure. We aren't just showing you a plant at harvest. We're preserving the details of the plant we've spent all these weeks following. And Cash Express Pheno B has given us plenty worth preserving. 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”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE MACRO WORLD โ€” EVERY LITTLE DETAIL COUNTS! And now we get to one of my favourite parts. The macro photographs! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’š If you've been following my diaries, you already know that once I start looking through the macro lens, things can get a little out of hand. One photograph becomes another. Another angle becomes another stack. And suddenly, I've spent far longer photographing one flower than I originally intended. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But honestly, that's part of the fun. The macro photographs let us appreciate details that are easy to miss when looking at the whole plant. The trichomes. The flower surfaces. The colours. The tiny structures that give each flower its own visual character. And when you look closely at Cash Express Pheno B, you can see why I wanted to dedicate a proper report to her. She's a beautiful compact plant with dense flowers, and the closer we look, the more there is to appreciate. I could keep photographing her all day. Unfortunately, GrowDiaries has that little 30-photo ruleโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ So we'll have to save some of the adventure for the next report! 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 NO BUD ROT โ€” A DIFFERENT STORY FROM HER SISTER There's one important difference between the two Cash Express phenotypes that deserves its own mention. Her sister, Pheno A, experienced bud rot affecting her main cola earlier in the run. It was an unfortunate setback, but we caught it in time, removed the affected flower, and no other colas were affected by that incident. Pheno B, however, made it through her run without us encountering that problem. And I'm very happy about that. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Every grow is a journey, and we can't assume that two plants sharing the same cultivar will necessarily experience identical outcomes. Pheno A had her difficult moment. Pheno B has had a different experience. We document both honestly. We don't need to compare them as if one plant's journey makes the other less valuable. Both are beautiful individual plants. Both have taught us something. And both deserve their own reports. For Pheno B, I'm especially pleased that we can celebrate the harvest without having to document the removal of an affected main cola. We can focus on her compact structure, her dense flowers, her macro details, and the next stage of her journey. That's a beautiful thing to celebrate. ๐Ÿ’šโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT RESULTS This is where the 8ร—8 Adventure becomes especially interesting. Cash Express Pheno A and Pheno B share the same cultivar name, but they haven't given us identical experiences. And the same applies across the wider room. The plants have shared the same general growing environment, the same 12/12 schedule, and the same overall approach. Yet each plant has developed in her own way. Some phenotypes stretch more. Some stay compact. Some develop different structures. And their individual flowering journeys don't necessarily progress at exactly the same pace. That's the reason we keep separate diaries. We want to document each plant as an individual rather than flatten all those differences into a single cultivar report. Cash Express Pheno B isn't simply another entry in the room. She's her own plant, with her own structure, her own flowers, and her own journey from seed to harvest. And this week, her journey deserves the spotlight. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ 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 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES The lighting setup remained part of the same upgraded environment throughout the run. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs provided the main lighting, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for the 8ร—8 Adventure expanding our lighting capability. After adding the extra fixtures, we adjusted the output to approximately 59% from the plug rather than running everything at maximum. Our working reference during the flowering stage was around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with actual intensity varying according to plant height and position. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ The point of adding more lighting capability wasn't simply to run everything at full power. It gave us more flexibility in how we used the fixtures and allowed us to work with the lighting environment we wanted to maintain. And Cash Express Pheno B developed within that shared environment, expressing her own compact structure and dense flowers. Same artificial sun. Different genetic expression. ๐Ÿ’šโ˜€๏ธ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures and helping us expand the lighting capability of the 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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ THE 12/12-FROM-SEED JOURNEY โ€” A QUICK REMINDER Because this is one of the defining elements of the 8ร—8 Adventure, let's take a moment to explain it for anyone who has just joined us. The plants in this project were kept on a 12/12 light schedule from seed. That means twelve hours of light followed by twelve hours of darkness each day, rather than a separate, longer vegetative lighting schedule. We followed the plants through their early development, their transition into flowering, and the flowering weeks that followed. The aim was to document how different plants and phenotypes expressed themselves within the same overall approach. This isn't about claiming that every cultivar will respond identically to the same schedule. It's about observing the individual plants and recording what actually happens. Cash Express Pheno B developed into a compact plant with dense flowers, while other plants in the room followed different patterns of growth and development. That's part of the value of documenting the run carefully. The weekly reports give us a record of the journey, and the photographs help us look back at how each individual plant changed over time. Now, we've reached the harvest stage for this girl. The flowering chapter is complete. The drying chapter is underway. And the post-harvest story is still to come. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿš‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ HARVEST COMPLETE โ€” NOW WE MOVE INTO DRYING After all those weeks of watching her grow and photographing her flowers, Cash Express Pheno B has now been harvested. We took her through the harvest process, brought her into the studio for photographs, and then moved her into the drying stage. And this is where the pace of the project changes. During flowering, we were observing the development of the living plant. Now, we're documenting the harvested plant material and the drying environment. The photographs in this report capture some of those transition moments, including her harvest-day appearance and the studio session. It's another important stage of her story, and I want to preserve it properly. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“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”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ THE DRYING ROOM โ€” STABLE CONDITIONS, NO LIGHT SCHEDULE As with her sister, the drying zone is operating without a scheduled light cycle. We're no longer documenting a flowering-room photoperiod here. We're documenting the drying environment. The conditions recorded for this stage are approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temperature โ€” around 19โ€“20ยฐC, remaining stable between day and night with the help of air conditioning. ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” around 60% at the time of this report. ๐ŸŒ‘ Lighting โ€” no scheduled light cycle in the drying area. During the initial days, I temporarily brought the relative humidity down to approximately 45% to help manage the initial moisture in the drying environment. After that initial period, the humidity returned to the conditions we're documenting now. The actual drying process can vary depending on the plant material and the conditions it experiences, so we're not treating an estimated duration as a guaranteed deadline. For this girl, we've chosen to dry her as a whole plant. That is the approach we're documenting for Cash Express Pheno B, and we'll continue following her journey through the drying and trimming stages. ๐ŸŒฟโณ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ WHOLE-PLANT DRYING โ€” A DIFFERENT APPROACH FOR THIS GIRL For this phenotype, we decided to dry the plant as a whole rather than use the drying rack for the flowers. That's an important difference from her sister's report, where we documented the rack method. We don't have enough DryFerm bags to use them for every cultivar in the room, and we want to test them across different cultivars rather than use all the available bags on a single one. So we're documenting different approaches across the wider project. For Cash Express Pheno B, the decision was to dry the whole plant. For other plants, we're using different arrangements as part of the overall post-harvest documentation. That doesn't mean we're declaring one method better than another. We're simply recording what we're doing with each plant and keeping the individual reports accurate. Every plant has her own story, and the post-harvest setup is another part of that story. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ 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 THE FIRST TRIMMING PHOTOGRAPHS โ€” READY FOR THE NEXT STAGE! And now, we have the first photographs showing Cash Express Pheno B after drying, with the plant material ready for the trimming session. ๐Ÿ’šโœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ These images mark the transition from the drying stage toward the next part of the post-harvest process. We've photographed the dried flowers, and we're beginning to document the trimming session with the trim bin. It's another moment worth preserving because the plant looks different at every stage of the journey. First, we followed her development from seed. Then we watched her progress through flowering. We photographed her at harvest. We documented her drying setup. And now we're moving into the trimming stage. Each step gives us a different view of the same plant. And that's why I don't want to rush through the documentation. The final report should preserve the story rather than simply announce the result. We're not finished sharing everything yet, so some of the post-harvest details will follow in Part 2. For now, enjoy these first glimpses of the dried plant and the flowers waiting for their next stage. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœ‚๏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”€ THE TRIM BIN โ€” ANOTHER PART OF THE POST-HARVEST PROCESS For this trimming session, we're using the trim bin to help collect and organize the material as we work. It's part of the equipment that makes an appearance during this stage of the journey. And as always, I'm documenting the process rather than trying to squeeze every detail into one report. The photographs give us a look at the dried plant material and the beginning of the trimming stage. We'll share more of the post-harvest experience in the next report, including the additional observations and the final review when it's ready. There's no need to rush the story. We want to show the process as it unfolds. ๐Ÿ’šโœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ WHY WE'RE DIVIDING THE HARVEST REPORTS I know I've already explained this at the beginning, but it's worth repeating briefly for anyone who has arrived directly at the photographs. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photographs for the final report, and we still have plenty of material to share across the post-harvest stages. We want to include the harvest photographs. We want to include the studio photographs. We want to include the macro details. We want to document the dried plant and trimming session. And we still want room for the final review. Rather than overload one update or leave some of those moments out, we're splitting the story into two parts. This gives us room to document Cash Express Pheno B properly while keeping the report readable. So thank you for joining us for Part 1. Part 2 will follow with the next stage of the journey. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฑ 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 FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” THE COMPACT BEAST DESERVES HER SPOTLIGHT Cash Express by Zamnesia. Pheno B. Harvest report โ€” Part 1. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š What a beautiful journey this girl has given us! She's compact. She's dense. She's beautifully structured. And she made it through the run without us encountering the bud rot issue that affected her sister's main cola. That alone is something I'm happy to celebrate. But beyond that, I simply love what she has become. She's a reminder that plant height doesn't tell the whole story. She's a reminder that two phenotypes sharing the same cultivar name can express themselves differently. And she's a reminder of why I enjoy documenting each plant individually. We followed her from seed through the flowering weeks under the 12/12-from-seed approach. We watched her develop within the shared environment of the 8ร—8 Adventure. We photographed her flowers, admired her structure, and explored the macro details. And now, we've reached harvest. She's been photographed in the studio and moved into the drying stage, where we're documenting the whole-plant drying approach. We've also reached the first trimming photographs, with the dried plant ready for the next stage. But this is not the end of her story. Not yet. We still have more post-harvest details to share, and we'll return with Part 2 when we're ready. So let's appreciate this girl for what she is. A compact plant with beautiful dense flowers. A phenotype with her own character. And another individual story from the 8ร—8 Adventure worth documenting from beginning to end. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ Cash Express Pheno B, you've earned your spotlight. Let's celebrate the journey, enjoy the photographs, and look forward to the next chapter. 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™ A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

Whatโ€™s up fellow Growmies! Got another exciting strain from Canuk Seeds... Cement Shoes! Yep, gonna be sleeping with the fishes. Lol First time trying this strain but so far itโ€™s been a breeze. I kinda took a break from documenting my grows because life got a bit hectic for a bit their, but Iโ€™m back and got some more great strains lined up for the future. Gonna try and do an outdoor RDWC setup this summer so stay tuned, gonna be some monsters hopefully! Iโ€™ve never seen it done really and I have a few ideas...lol but anyway, back the the cement shoes. So I started them awhile back(not exactly sure when) in my smaller tent(3x4) under a single 1200w King LED grow light. They spent about 2 months in this tent in 3 gal DWC buckets until they outgrew the buckets and tent and need to be moved. Up until this point they were kinda just on auto pilot in the background of my other larger tents. But I was planning on reducing my plant count in my larger 4x8 tents so I decided to go from 4 plants per tent to 2 plants per tent, so we needed some big girls to fill these tents. Lol they were topped at 3-4th node and just let them go from there. They ended up being about 3 feet tall above the 1ft tall buckets. Moved them over too one of my bigger 4x8 tents and added a screen very carefully and ScrOGโ€™d them out. Still waiting on my new Eye HPS Bulb so they are still currently under my 1000w MH. Iโ€™ll post all the pics I can find in this weeks log from the veg time and they are about 2 weeks into flower now so Iโ€™ll snap some flower pics soon and continue from there. So far 2 plants vegged a bit longer are filling the shoes of 4 plants no problem. Having more space means I also have not had to really defoliate at all. Well thatโ€™s it so far, stay tuned for more! Cheers ๐Ÿ’จ

We've reached the end of the penultimate week. This girl's buds are also very dense, resinous, and fragrant. Based on the trichome analysis, she's at a great point. ๐Ÿ˜Ž In the 15 days before harvest, I start watering only with RO water and a pH of 6.2. At the beginning of the last week, and about 3 days before harvest, I'll flush with RO + Cleanse 10mL.

The buds are nice and compact, covered in resin. I canโ€™t wait to try her after a good meal, like a dessert ๐Ÿคค

SOOOOO sorry guys!! Iโ€™ve been slacking on this diary ive been doing so much work on the new grow room and been pretty busy with this beautiful harvest I just chopped ๐Ÿ˜ Buttt The WET BETTIES have been doing amazing you can totally tell the difference in the phenoโ€™s 2 of the girls are growing super tall and lengthy while the other 4 are staying short and bushy! About 2 and a half weeks ago I topped them and kept doing so until I had about 16 top sights Iโ€™ve been letting them grow after that so those tops can turn to colas ! This is the last week or so of Veg for these girls before turning to flower and getting to see those beautiful buds from this exotic strain! Iโ€™ll be moving them into 5 gallon fabric pots this weekend so they have all the room they need to stretch out their little roots. Iโ€™m super excited and canโ€™t wait to show you guys the next batch of seeds weโ€™re growing!! #GarciasGarden @exoticgenetix P.S. I know you guys see some of the leaves on one of the phenos are light around the edges and dark in the middle .thankfully was able to fix the deficiency and get her healthy as a horse ๐ŸŒน

Learned a lot from this grow and am very happy with the results. Pulled 2.8 Oz and 1.1 Oz of trim/popcorn buds in a one gallon pot. Definitely wont be doing that again, but had a lot of fun throughout the entire process. Going to be starting another grow soon! Very excited for that.

nov 20th final defoliation. week #6 starts 21st nov. (1) Kush i didn't really do anything to, more of a natural grow so i can see what training vs non training will do. that's how you gain experience I would think. (2) Kush - LST (3) Kush -LST + Top (4) AK Auto - LST + Top

Week 11 April 23 - stretch seems to be over and Iโ€™ve raised the light to max height so letโ€™s hope -looking good so far no deficiencies other than a bit of light burn/bleach because lights were to close -will be top dressing later this week before a watering -no smells just yet and thankfully as I need to get the temp down in the tent before later in flower

(despite some grow room power issues)... the SP-3000 makes for some of the easiest grows we've ever had. Our plants look super happy and they pray nonstop to Mars..This light has made our little 4x2 my favorite place to flower Check out some of our previous harvests under the SP-3000, we have stellar results using it.. Mars has completely changed how we view LED.. We've officially replaced all HID lighting for MarsHydro fixtures and our only real complaint is not doing this sooner ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜ผ The Ghost Candy's flower stretch was pretty close to what we expected from them. They have a great, uniform color and bud sites are starting to form.. being soilless these girls are eating a little bit with almost every watering.. we have 2 distinct phenos, 3:4 have a more broad indica hybrid looking fans, where 1:4 appears sativa dom, we'll be sure to clone each..not too much else to report, good genetics and light make for easy weeks..thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!! ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ โšกMars Hydro/SP-3000โšก Specifications โš™๏ธ: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

The Z up is now back to the tent, seems happy because the leaves are shining a lot and showing vivid colors. This should be last week of veg, so gonna boost her up to flower with good nutes.
