Day 50 the plant has been growing at an incredible speed and has a very very large flowering stretch in fact I only have left 5 inches to raise up my light and then I'm going to have to do something to keep an eye on those branches so they don't stretch anymore or at least they can have enough light to proper development. From all the plants I have grow indoors this one is the only one that has make my light stretched to the top of the tent I guess it's a good problem to have. Other than the incredible stretch the plan seems to be healthy and doing pretty well the flower is development and I'm looking forward to see how this is going to turn out. Day 52 I have rise my light to the top as high as I can and she still grow past the light towards the exhaust system I had to tie her down in order to create an arch and in that way make her receive enough light instead of growing over the top of the light where there is actually no sufficient light if this problem persist I will have no choice but to do super cropping on the tallest branches and see how they react to that I decide to take some cuttings I'm trying to clone this one to see if I can get her outside in the summer in another buddy house and see how she reacts to challenging Ontario weather. Day 53 I have to Super crop several branches Unfortunately they were growing straight into the light becoming burned by the intense light I hope the plant doesn't react to bad to HST and still deliver awesome buds thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

My entry

🌸 Week 1 – Flowering Stage Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow 🌍 ⸻ 💚 Transition Into Flower The girls wasted no time: at ~90 cm tall, they’re stretching beautifully, branching with symmetry, and already showing early pistils by the end of the week. Both phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) are very close in appearance, but Pheno #1 is leading slightly in height (about 5 cm taller), while PM#2 is equally vigorous and balanced. This uniformity is exciting, strong genetics with consistency across the phenos. The kind of stability you want in a Cup. ⸻ 📸 Studio Session Took them out for a proper photo shoot with the Sony 📷. Leaves shining, structure elegant, early flower sites beginning to peek through. Even filmed a few videos to capture this milestone. They’re looking like queens, and it’s a joy to document every step. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Adjustments for Flower We’ve officially adjusted the recipe to start the flowering journey: • ❌ Start Booster – removed • ✅ Top Booster – added at 0.25 ml/L • ❌ All-in-One Liquid – paused (the All-in-One Pellets + pre-mixed recipe in the soil are now fully active and doing the job beautifully) • ✅ CalMag Boost – continued • ✅ Regulator – continued • pH: ~6.1 • Feed EC: ~0.6 This gentle transition sets the base for flower, without overwhelming them. ⸻ 🍃 Notes & Observations Some leaf burn spots appeared this week, nothing major. Likely from wind stress with the fan blowing directly on them. Honest note: it’s part of the process, and we show the good and the less-than-perfect. Overall, the plants are thriving, strong, and unfazed by small imperfections. ⸻ 🌱 From Seed to Here – Quick Recap • Week 1–2: Germination & early veg, bottom-fed by hand • Week 3: Transplant to 11L Zamnesia fabric pots, roots thriving, super soil mixed with Aptus Holland products (MycorMix, All-in-One Pellets, Substrate Buffer Powder) • Week 4 Veg: Explosive growth, steady feeding, compact structure, preparing for flip • Week 1 Flower (now): ~90 cm tall, branching beautifully, pistils showing, first signs of floral transition ⸻ 🎓 Looking Ahead • Expect stretch to continue through the next 1–2 weeks • Bud sites will begin stacking, pistils multiplying • Watch closely for balance in nutrition, especially with Top Booster now active • AC unit arriving soon will help stabilize temps (currently peaking ~31°C) ⸻ 👑 Genetics & The Cup Permanent Marker is more than just a strain, it’s a modern heavyweight with a strong pedigree (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx). These genetics are already proving themselves with vigor, balance, and beauty. As the organizer Dognabis Cup, it’s a privilege to showcase them here.

Start of the 2nd week and everythings running smoothly

Super relieved to see flower signs from 2 of my hermie seeds. A big shout to the master MOUSE for giving a positive explanation about self pollination, upon hearing his feedbacks i waited and tadaa, both of my hermie seeds flowered which means MOUSE was 100% right, my previous AK47 did self pollinate and they became autoflowers thanks to mother nature. All my grows are in AC ran environment and i only grew autoflowers so the confidence of waiting patiently was worth it while some would say it is a waste of time to grow seeds from hermie. 3 of the Autoflowers are also preflowering and super thriving under 80% light intensity from the darling sf2000. Not giving any more scrogging to avoid stress to the plants coz all of them are in preflower stage. Day 36 from seed. As for the SF2000 performance, i am able to plant 5 seeds in 2x4tent in 5 gallon pots. I plan to get 4 gallon pots and maybe squeeze 6 to 8 pots would love to see the sf2k experience. This current tent i am using is shitty in terms of tent height, you need to really train the plants short, looking at tent suggestions for a taller tent.

420Fastbuds-Week9 Strain:FBT2311 What up grow fam. Weekly update for these gorgeous girls. They're definitely getting close to being done and getting the chop. I did a defoliation this week to allow the light down to the lower bud sites. All in all Happy Growing.

Week 3 flower (day 21) I defoliated them a few days ago and now they dont need any more training I keep the feeding at 500ppm 1:1 calmag/nova bloom I will bump it to 650 once they start swelling

Day 36 start of week 6. Nothing new to report. Day 38 fed girls 2 liters each nutes .Did light defoliation and adjusted ties for the Lst. Moved light strength to around 85 percent and moved light up a couple inches to see how the react.Day 39 watered with gallon distilled water with Cal-mag phed to 6.3. Each took a gallon of water. Pat Benatar is up to 23 inches tall. Blondie is short and extremely bushy.And only a foot tall. Banana Purple Punch is around 22 into tall. Today is day 42 and end of week six. Fed 3 of biggest plants today. Split one gallon distilled water mixed with between the 3 plants.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 9 | My Sister Has Her Own Story 🌿🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And once again, this room is reminding me why growing different phenotypes side by side is so fascinating. Because sometimes you can look at two plants and think: "These two are sisters." You can see the family resemblance. The general structure. The flowering behaviour. The way they develop. But then you look a little closer... And you realize: they are absolutely writing their own stories. Cash Express Pheno B is one of those girls. She's growing in the same room as her sister, under essentially the same conditions, with the same general feeding strategy, lighting philosophy and irrigation system. And yet... she has her own personality. She's beautiful. She's lush. She's developing an impressive flowering structure. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. So this week, let's put the spotlight where it belongs. On her. 🚂🌿🌸 🌱 Week 9 – She's Finding Her Shape Cash Express Pheno B has continued developing beautifully this week, reaching approximately 93 cm. And while height isn't everything, that number does tell us something interesting when we compare her with her sister. Pheno A has remained the smaller, more compact expression. Pheno B has taken a different route. She's taller. She's more extended through the structure. Her branches are distributed differently. And the flowering sites are developing along that architecture in their own unique way. But what's really interesting is that despite those differences... there is still a recognizable family resemblance. You look at her and know you're looking at Cash Express. But this is her version of Cash Express. And I absolutely love that. 🌿 Lush Green & Full of Life The first thing that catches my eye this week is her colour. She's green. Beautifully, deeply and consistently green. The foliage is looking lush and healthy, and the plant has that unmistakable appearance of a girl with plenty of energy left to put into flowering. This is one of those plants where you can almost feel the vigor when you're standing next to her. She's not looking tired. She's not looking like she's struggling. She's not trying to tell us that something is wrong. She's simply growing. And growing beautifully. That makes my job much easier. Instead of trying to fix something that isn't broken, I can simply observe, support and allow her to continue doing what she's already doing so well. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious And then we get to the real stars of the show. The flowers. Wow. The developing buds are becoming increasingly defined, and the pistils are absolutely beautiful. We're seeing those long, bright hairs emerging from the flowers in all directions. They're still predominantly fresh and light in colour, with some of the warmer tones we've been noticing in this phenotype. And the flower structures themselves are becoming much more substantial. This is no longer just a collection of early flowering sites. We're starting to see actual bud architecture developing. The individual flowers are beginning to connect and build their shape. There's still a long way to go before we see the finished product, of course. But this is exactly the stage where the potential starts becoming easier to appreciate. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving us plenty to look at. 🚂 Same Sister. Different Personality. This is probably the biggest story of this week's update. Pheno A and Pheno B are sisters. Same cultivar. Same room. Same basic environment. Same irrigation. Same overall nutrition. Same 12/12-from-seed approach. And yet... look at them. Pheno A has her own compact and efficient architecture. Pheno B has developed a different structure, with more height and a different distribution of flowering sites. Neither one is better. Neither one is worse. They're simply different. And that's the whole reason I'm documenting them separately. I don't want to reduce the story to: "Cash Express did well this week." I want to know how each phenotype does well. What does she naturally want to become? How does she build flowers? How does she use the available space? How does she respond to the same environment? What characteristics remain consistent between sisters? And what characteristics separate them? That's where the real fun is. ✂️ A Little Cleaning – Nothing Dramatic We've also continued doing a little selective cleaning around the room. And, as always, this isn't about following a calendar. There isn't a rule saying: "Week 9 = remove X amount of leaves." That's not how I want to grow this project. We're reading the plants. For Cash Express Pheno B, we've removed a few leaves here and there where they weren't contributing much anymore or where opening a little space made sense. Nothing aggressive. Nothing dramatic. We're not trying to strip this beautiful green girl. Quite the opposite. She has plenty of healthy foliage, and I want to keep it working for her. The objective is simply to maintain a sensible canopy, allow light and air to move through the plant, and keep the developing flowers visible and accessible. Sometimes a single leaf in exactly the wrong place can block an entire flowering site. Remove that one leaf? Perfect. Remove twenty more just because you're already holding the scissors? Not necessarily. 😂✂️ Selective beats automatic. 💨 Airflow Becomes More Important As these flowers continue developing, maintaining good airflow becomes increasingly important. We're now dealing with larger and denser flowering structures than we were a few weeks ago. That means I want to avoid unnecessary pockets of stagnant air inside the canopy. The small amount of selective cleaning helps open things up without compromising the plant's overall ability to photosynthesize. And because we're working with a room containing twelve different plants, keeping the canopy reasonably open also helps the environment itself. Better air movement. Better exchange around the foliage. Fewer overly crowded areas. And a little more breathing room for everybody. We're not trying to create a sterile environment. We're simply trying to give the plants the conditions they need to remain healthy while the flowers continue developing. 💡 Light From Above – And Inside One of the things I really enjoy about this particular setup is that we're not relying entirely on light from directly above. The main Future of Grow Black Series lighting provides the primary canopy intensity, while the additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps bring usable light into areas that would otherwise receive considerably less. And Cash Express Pheno B's structure makes that especially interesting. She's not a completely flat wall of foliage. Her branches occupy different levels and angles throughout the plant. That creates opportunities for light to reach different flowering sites. At the same time, we're still paying attention to canopy density and selectively opening areas where appropriate. It's a combination of lighting and plant architecture. And once again, the plant itself changes how the lighting system behaves. ⚗️ Feeding – Consistency Is the Name of the Game The nutrition programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution: ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm And this girl certainly doesn't look like she's complaining. That beautiful green colour, active flowering and continued development are all telling me that she's comfortable with the current strategy. So why change it? We don't need to keep adjusting things simply because we're moving through the calendar. She's responding. We're observing. And for now, stability wins. The plants get the final vote. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues running with a stable flowering environment: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% 🥥 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – ~639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h The interesting part is that the room conditions are shared across the plants, but their responses remain very individual. That's exactly what we wanted from this experiment. The environment gives us the baseline. The genetics provide the differences. 🔬 Reading the Plant Instead of Reading the Calendar One of the biggest lessons this run continues teaching me is that the calendar is useful... but the plant is more useful. Week numbers help us document development. They help us compare one update with another. But they don't tell us exactly what every plant needs on a particular day. Cash Express Pheno B doesn't care that another plant is ready for something. She doesn't care what Pheno A is doing. She has her own root system. Her own structure. Her own metabolism. Her own genetic expression. And that's what I'm trying to respect. If she needs a little cleaning, we clean. If she doesn't... we leave her alone. If she responds well to the current feeding... we keep it stable. If something changes... we adapt. Simple. 📸 Behind the Lens And once again, this girl is making my job behind the camera very easy. The close-ups show just how much the flowers have developed. Those pistils are becoming one of the most recognizable characteristics of this phenotype. Long. Bright. Abundant. Almost exploding from the developing flowers. Then you step back and see the whole plant... and the story changes again. Now you see the structure. The height. The branch distribution. The amount of flowering happening throughout the plant. And that beautiful green canopy surrounding everything. This is why I love documenting individual phenotypes. A wide photograph tells you what the plant looks like. A macro photograph starts telling you who she is. 🌿 My Little Jungle Is Getting Better Every Week And I have to say... I'm having so much fun with this run. Sometimes I walk into the room and genuinely feel like I'm stepping into my own little jungle. 😂🌿 I'm moving between plants. Checking underneath leaves. Looking at flowers. Looking at the structure. Taking photographs. Finding something new. Then moving to the next plant and discovering that she's doing something completely different. It's almost like visiting twelve little worlds inside one room. And that's probably one of the biggest reasons I'm enjoying this project so much. I'm learning constantly. I'm adapting constantly. And I'm getting better at understanding that sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply slow down and observe. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next stage should become increasingly exciting. The foundation is there. The flowering sites are established. The plant is healthy. And now we want to see those flowers continue developing their size, density and character. Over the next week I'll be watching for: 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further pistil development 💎 Increasing resin production 🌿 Continued healthy foliage 💨 Good airflow through the canopy 📈 More definition and density in the flowers And most importantly... I'll continue letting her tell me what she needs. No unnecessary changes. No chasing numbers. No forcing her to become something she's not. Just observation, consistency and adaptation. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let This Sister Shine Cash Express Pheno B has reached a really beautiful point in her journey. She's standing around 93 cm. She's lush. She's green. She's flowering strongly. Her structure is becoming increasingly impressive. And her flowers are developing their own unmistakable character. She's similar to her sister. But she's not her sister. And that's what makes her special. When I look at the two Cash Express phenotypes together, I don't see competition. I see two different interpretations of the same genetic potential. One sister chose one path. This girl chose another. And I'm absolutely happy to let her walk that path. Because she's doing something beautiful. She deserves the spotlight. She deserves the camera. She deserves her own story. So let's give it to her. 🚂🌿🌸 Cash Express Pheno B is not trying to be anybody else. She's simply becoming herself. And honestly... that's exactly what I want to see. 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every week, this project becomes more interesting. Twelve cultivars. One shared environment. Different structures. Different colours. Different flowering patterns. Different personalities. And an incredible amount to learn. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this journey, compare experiences and share what we're learning with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting helping power the room from above. Thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system keeping the plants consistently supplied. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower canopy. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every conversation. Every person who stops by to look at the plants. It genuinely makes this journey more enjoyable. I'm learning. I'm experimenting. I'm adapting. And sometimes I'm walking around the tent feeling like Tarzan in his jungle. 😂🌿 But honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving me another very good reason to stop, look and appreciate what's happening in front of me. She's beautiful. She's healthy. She's developing beautifully. And she's writing her own story. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this beautiful sister shine. 🚂🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿

reach for the sky!! Holy cow these ladies are going off. watch the time-lapse the end of week 3 and the stretch begins. the dark devils are showing the auto gene well they are stretching as well but not like the red poisons wow. going to le the dark devils dry out a little i think that strain does not like to much water. the red poisons are drinking like crazy. so already starting to flower at the end of week three. going to hold off on any flowering supplements for now to see if they are still eating the food that's in the mix still. cruising along see Ya next week.

Day 92. Plants are doing great !!! Frost is already amazing and they will surprise me more , I know it ! Today water, next time they will get last feed. From last week every time I water them, I do 10 leaves defoliation for each plant. So last week they lost 20 each, think this week I will do 30 more. Girls grew so nice and i knew that I'll have enough space for them, so I left them only heavily lolipoped . Was doing selective defoliation here and there, but max 20 leaves were taken from each plant before. Mostly just to expose crown side colas. Happy Growing !!!

Total Days: 70 Flower: 31 Vege growth is stopped or very slow at this point. Might eke out another inch or two. I'll raise the lights as far as they can go soon (only 3-4" for the 650w light on right), but with the higher operating RH%, I've yet to see any pistil burn. The light cycle shift to accomodate the painters definitely stressed 2 plants. One was removed. The second i am retardedly going to keep. I stripped off lower weak buds that had the nanners. Pruned a few weak axilla, too. The nearby plant pistils are lily white, so it should be fine. The pistils will be changing color soon, so that will no longer be a good way to assess the risk going forward. Meh, I know it was caused by light stress, so any seeds not selfed I'll probably keep them. Overall, I'm relatively happy with development. Need to adjust some procedures in next cycle and maybe a few more tweaks in winter 2025-1. Second irrigation went well, but i did find a partially clogged emitter. Probably a plastic bit from hold-punching. With 8 emitters per pot, the overkill makes it irrelvant and the pot wasn't the slowest to finish. A few emitters has some roughly milled inlets. I'll inspect them all over the next couple weeks and replace some as needed. Just realized my new dehum was glowing in my tent the entire time. Luckily the display was facing away but now has a cardboard flap blocking it. If it was fine before, it's even safer now. Photons had to bounce of a wall and travel 5' before it could hit any plant. ----- Early update before end of week upday: So, I've been procrastinating replacing the irrigation setup. It's slowly gotten worse each year (3rd ongoing), but never had the dripper devolve into a dribble. I've been hand-watering 1 or 2 pots the last week or so. Replacing the mini sprinkler heads only fixed 1 of the problem-pots. Think the fittings are leaking on the one that did not improve. All the pvc is gone. All the 1/4" manifolds and tubing are gone. The per plant adjustable nonsense is the worst idea ever as all it does is cause pressure changes and endless tweaking of all the little sprinklers, because changing one impacts all the others, or a speck of dirt might cause a new imbalance that requires adjustments etc - Fucking nightmare of useless repetitive behaviour. Still have the 3/4" ID lead-in, heavy duty, 450psi graden hose with ball shut-off valve and pressure regulator. That is now connected to a 3/4" wye with two 1/2" irrigation tube adapters attached to each end. This forms a loop around the pots with a 1/2" tee per pot that leads to a gate shut-off valve and eight 2-gph pressure compensating emitters - 96 in total. Will do first test run on Sunday. The great thing is that this is all plug and play when I switch to injectors. That'll require some sort of pvc manifold and check valve at the utility tub, but otherwise just connect hose, and it's golden. That's the next step. I'll also re-incorporate the wifi-enabled solenoid valve at that point. Getting rid of the 55-gallon reservoir and pump would be nice. One less thing to maintain (rez) and less things that can break down (pump / powerhead). ------ Sunday Test Flawless first run. Time will tell if they are resistant to clogging, but optimistic at this point. 18psi operational pressure at the irrigation loop. Didn't even need the regulator. The mesh strainer at the pump intake doesn't have the typical, small air-bubble, so the last setup was letting a little air in. The last setup was fatally flawed. Pressure compensating emitters for the win. They didn't even squirt wildly as the air was expelled from empty tubing on first run. Took ~4mins or so. Some pots finished a bit sooner, but that's because they don't drink as much per 24 hours. I can live with that kind of waste. I'll get the timing down to reduce water usage even further. I don't need to wait for every pot to exhibit runoff as that is beyond 10% runoff needs. Might be able to get 4 fertigations before refilling reservoir instead of 3. We'll see. I don't like the minimum ~12-15 gallons sitting over night. It fouls the reservoir faster at low volumes. Anyway, super geeked. They better not clog easily, lol....

9/28 Week 11 Bulking She looks good bulking nice, leaving nuets as is till flush when ready. 9/30 Trics going well, she is bulking well , got no complaints just impatient Still looking at next week for flush 10/3 Into flush this morning, trics 90% white 10% clear VERY potent looking

Grow Your Own! Ripper seeds Is my favorite seedbank and amazing strain from limited edition seeds! Sunset Sherbet x Purple Punch its best one strain...

Low maintenance. Just watered this week with cal-mag'd water. Trichomes still nice and cloudy. Harvest is close.

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Beg of week 1/22/24 - just trying to maintain. Having ph swings. Taking at least 200ml a day sometimes double

So this week the tent really started filling up, lots of new growth probably going to flip next week just giving the mac 1 time to root in a new 7 gallon bag as she was far too big for her 3 gal one and is definitely female 😀 I’m planning on just keeping all six at this point harvesting as plants/branches are ready. heavy defoliation is in order soon
