The total height at harvest was 42". Measured from the top of the net pot to the tip of the cola...Almost too tall for the tent, when you add the light, distance and air filter. The wet/trimmed weight was 409g for one plant. Took about .3m2 of grow space. Super resistant to things like mites and changes in environmental conditions, and nutrient levels. Be careful at end of harvest, the buds are so fat, wet, and dense that mold/rot can quickly be a thing if not managed with humidity and airflow. I opened up the nodes a bit to help with air flow. The diameter of each main cola was 4" at time of harvest. I moved my fans around three times a day to make sure each side had some direct air for a few hours each day and kept RH under 55%. I let the cool air here at 7,000-foot elevation pour in at night and she prob got down to 52 degrees. Purples were very prominent, but I'm sure some will fade as the cure happens. I would totally grow this again.

Fast Buds Run Light at 75% and will stay like this for the coming week. Scrog net will also be installed this week. 09/04/24 - 2L RO Water with Cal Mag Xtra per plant. 11/04/24 - 3L RO Water only per plant. 14/04/24 - 3L RO Water with Nutes per plant. Notes : 08/04/24 - Scrog net was installed, will continue to adjust branches this coming week. 11/04/24 - Was seeing leaves a little bit on the dark side so fed only plain water 6.5ph, next feeding will be with nutes again. Re-arranged scrog net a bit more to open up the canopy a little bit more. Overall plants looking happy and all of them have now gone into the pre-flowering stage. 14/04/24 - Plants are doing really well in the pre-flowering stage and are really streching now. One last strech befor they go into full flower.

🍼 Chem BrĂ»lĂ©e – Pheno B Week 6 | Finding Her Own Pace Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the reasons I love running phenotype hunts is because they constantly remind me that there is no such thing as a "perfect timeline." Every plant has her own rhythm. Even sisters sharing the same genetics, the same room, the same lighting, and almost identical nutrition will often choose completely different paths. Chem BrĂ»lĂ©e Pheno B continues to be the perfect example of that. While her sister has moved slightly further ahead, Pheno B is taking a steadier, more measured approach to flowering. She's still stretching, still building her structure, and quietly preparing for the weeks ahead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with growing at your own pace. Sometimes those who start a little slower end up surprising everyone in the end. đŸŒŒ Flowers Are Taking Shape This week the flowering transition became even more obvious. The first pistils that appeared last week are now multiplying across the growing tips, with every branch beginning to establish its own future flower site. The main top is starting to take form, while the secondary branches are joining the party one by one. Everything still feels delicate, but that's exactly what makes this stage so exciting. These tiny clusters may not look impressive today, but in only a few weeks they'll become the dense flowers that make all the patience worthwhile. Watching that transformation never gets old. 🌿 Elegant Structure One thing I really enjoy about this phenotype is her overall architecture. Compared to her sister, Pheno B has developed a slightly more open canopy, allowing plenty of airflow and excellent light penetration throughout the plant. Every branch seems to have found its own place without much intervention from me. The internodal spacing is balanced, the stems are strong, and the canopy already has a very natural shape. Sometimes a plant almost trains herself. Those are always enjoyable grows. The foliage remains a rich healthy green, and she's showing plenty of energy as she continues building toward full flower production. đŸŒ± Gentle Guidance Training remains intentionally simple. Low Stress Training continues helping spread the branches while occasional leaf tucking allows light to reach developing flower sites hidden beneath the canopy. I've resisted the temptation to overwork her. At this stage the goal isn't to force the plant into a specific shape. It's simply to help her make the most of the structure she's already chosen. The less unnecessary stress we create now, the more energy she can dedicate to producing beautiful flowers later. đŸœïž Feeding Strategy Nutrition remains focused on supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining healthy vegetative growth during the final stretch. This week's feeding included: ‱ Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L ‱ Green Sensation – 1 ml/L ‱ Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ‱ Power Buds – 1 ml/L ‱ Pure Zym – 1 ml/L ‱ pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be based on observation rather than routine. Plants don't read feeding charts. They tell us what they need through their growth, colour, and overall health. Learning to understand those signals is one of the most valuable skills any grower can develop. đŸŒĄïž Environmental Conditions The room continues providing stable conditions for healthy flower development. Average conditions this week included: ‱ Day temperature: 29°C ‱ Night temperature: 25°C ‱ Relative humidity: 60% ‱ Nutrient solution: 24°C ‱ Root zone: 21°C ‱ CO₂: 639 ppm With flowering progressing, humidity has gradually been reduced to create an ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Stable environmental conditions allow every phenotype to fully express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. It's amazing how much difference consistency makes over an entire grow. 📾 Capturing Another Chapter This week's photographs show a plant that's confidently settling into early flower. The close-up shots reveal fresh white pistils appearing from every growing tip, while the wider photos showcase a beautifully balanced structure that promises excellent light distribution as the buds continue developing. One thing I particularly enjoy is seeing how different the two Chem BrĂ»lĂ©e sisters already look despite sharing the same genetics. That's the beauty of phenotype hunting. No two stories are ever exactly the same. 🔼 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect Chem BrĂ»lĂ©e Pheno B to continue producing new pistils across the canopy while gradually slowing her vertical stretch. The individual flower sites should begin expanding, and the first signs of true bud stacking will become more noticeable. Training will remain light, allowing her natural shape to continue developing while simply helping every branch receive as much light as possible. She's growing with quiet confidence. And sometimes... Those are the plants that end up leaving the biggest impression. 💚 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 grateful to have you along for every step of this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. đŸŒ± Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that fuels healthy growth day after day. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and every person who stops by these diaries. Your encouragement, advice, questions, and conversations are what truly make this project worthwhile. I'll see you all next week, where Chem BrĂ»lĂ©e Pheno B will continue proving that every phenotype has its own pace, its own personality, and its own unique story to tell. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. đŸŒ±đŸźđŸ’š

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** This week has been interesting, I was getting some weird runoff numbers in terms of EC/PPM and PH, so I decided to try and bring the PH up with a flush of high PH water into the medium. I did not have any PH up on hand so I used borax, PH of 9-10 plus it will help kill off any microbes in the soil that I believe is causing the PH swings. After doing this and getting the PH I wanted in the solution I released that the amount of B in the solution was to high and would cause more issues down the road, It was late in the day so I left the next flush to fix the excess B till tomorrow morning. Morning came and when I processed to flush I added in a bit of peroxide to the water and a dash of dish soap to break the waters surface tension so it flows through the pots more easily. This was going fine till it started to not drain out at all. I think it was foaming up in the medium and preventing a normal flow, plus on two of the pots I lost my perlite that sits on the top of the medium. I had to massage the pots "like when you transplant" to make then start draining again and then purchased a Yucca extract to help it flow through. Everything is back to normal. The pots are really root bound and should be transplanted but its mid flower and that's not going to be happening. I also don't know if I'd even have the space for it. I added in a b1 vitamin as well on recommendation of grow shop as apparently their other lineup I purchased did not have any. No idea if its working well only first week in the feeding. The Cytokelp is fun, but the one hormone in it is similar to a PGR but its not a real PGR. I am skeptical of it and not using it as foliar, just root watering. I also added in a bit of CaMg supplement that gave the plants a boost in N and Ca. The mg of this product was lesser then others I have seen about a 5:1 ratio of Ca to Mg. after the big flushes the runoff was hitting 120ppm so I gave it a good feed at 1.8EC Time will tell If i fucked it up royally by doing all this, this Kannabia plant is still doing ok, its been having some issues with N and Ca, can see on the leaves some prominent signs it needs more Ca, so hopefully the addition helped this week of CaMg. Some of my other plants are also discoloured but not to the same extent as this one. All the plants are still stretching but it seems slow to me. Maybe it will continue going but it only put on about 4cm in the last week and a half. Feels slow. I may see more stretching in the next week upcoming and it just had a ruff start. Lights still running at 100% with V1 spectrum, everything seems to be working just fine, no light burn. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.kannabia.com/en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/kannabiaseed/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/kannabiaseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/kannabiaseedsint YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ + https://www.youtube.com/c/KannabiaSeedCompany Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/kannabia https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/kannabia

So...eine von den 2 Pflanzen ist ins große Zelt (150×150cm) gewandert. Da wird sie von 7 l Topf in 10 Gallonen Stofftopf mit living soil (dieses mal Rezept #1 "coots mix" von Jeremy) umgetopft. Living soil "kocht" gerade. Nicht dass ich living soil Fan wĂ€re (geringerer Ertrag) aber wenn ich wieder zwei Wochen weg bin, kann ich einfach nur Wasser tropfen lassen und die Pflanze bleibt gesund. Ah ja...Terpene sind evtl. auch besser...das konntd ich bisher aber nicht unter Beweis stellen. Die zweite Pflanze die anfangs auch auf dem Balkon war, ist immer noch im Freien unbemerkt...mache da demnĂ€chst Bilder P.S. hab jetzt Video und Bilder gemacht. WĂ€chst nicht so schnell...aber die Farbe und der Glanz sind phenomenal

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌾✹ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. đŸŒ±đŸŒŸ Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. đŸŒșđŸ’Ș Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients. Unlike the organic-mineral combo, which required frequent adjustments, the current setup is practically self-sufficient. This stability means happier roots, more consistent nutrient uptake, and ultimately, better plants. The data speaks for itself—check out the comparison print! Comfort & Style: My Aptus Holland Pants Oh, and can we talk about how comfortable my Aptus Holland pants are? These have become my go-to garden gear. Stylish, functional, and perfect for spending long hours among the plants.

. đŸŒ± Tag 21 – Eine Woche voller Experimente Drei Wochen alt. Eigentlich der Zeitpunkt, an dem junge Pflanzen einfach gemĂŒtlich wachsen, Wurzeln bilden und jeden Tag ein bisschen grĂ¶ĂŸer werden. In unserem Fall wurde daraus allerdings eine kleine Wissenschaftsshow mit mehreren unerwarteten Wendungen. Die Woche begann mit unserer ersten DĂŒngung. FĂŒr uns war das Neuland und fĂŒr unseren GĂ€rtner offenbar auch. Nach vielen Jahren mit organischem DĂŒnger musste er erst lernen, dass mineralische NĂ€hrstoffe nicht erst gemĂŒtlich auf ihre Freigabe warten, sondern sofort verfĂŒgbar sind. Das fĂŒhrte dazu, dass wir etwas frĂŒher gefĂŒttert wurden, als es eigentlich nötig gewesen wĂ€re. ZusĂ€tzlich gab es noch ein paar weitere Überraschungen: Der pH-Wert lief zeitweise nicht ganz wie geplant. 📩 Statt pH- wurde versehentlich pH+ geliefert. 🔄 Bei der ersten NĂ€hrstoffmischung wurden Grow A und Bloom A vertauscht. đŸŒ± Die DĂŒngung begann etwas frĂŒher als optimal. Man könnte sagen, unser GĂ€rtner hat diese Woche sehr viel gelernt. Wir Pflanzen nennen das lieber „praktische Feldforschung“. Zum GlĂŒck blieb es bei kleineren Problemen. Zwar waren wir zwischenzeitlich nicht immer ganz begeistert von den Mischungen im Tank, aber insgesamt konnten wir weiter wachsen und neue BlĂ€tter bilden. Wirklich dramatisch wurde es nie. Unser Wassertank lief die ganze Woche durchgehend. Da er allerdings mehrfach neu angesetzt wurde, weiß inzwischen niemand mehr so genau, wie viel Wasser wir tatsĂ€chlich verbraucht haben. Die Buchhaltung wurde wohl von einer Zimmerpflanze gefĂŒhrt. Folgende NĂ€hrstoffe kamen diese Woche zum Einsatz: Bittersalz: 0,5 g/L 🌿 Grow A + B ? Silica ⚡ Multi Total FĂŒr die nĂ€chste Mischung wird das Bittersalz bereits auf 0,3 g/L reduziert. Wieder etwas dazugelernt. Nicht ganz ohne ZwischenfĂ€lle verlief die Woche fĂŒr Pflanze #2. Bei einer kleinen Pflegeaktion wurde einer ihrer Triebe versehentlich angeknackst. FĂŒr einen kurzen Moment sah es so aus, als hĂ€tte sie beschlossen, den Dienst zu quittieren. Zum GlĂŒck stellte sich der Schaden als weniger schlimm heraus als zunĂ€chst befĂŒrchtet. Der Trieb blieb erhalten und kĂ€mpft sich weiter durch. Pflanzen sind manchmal erstaunlich widerstandsfĂ€hig. WĂ€hrend Menschen bei kleinen Verletzungen hĂ€ufig erst einmal das Internet nach ihren Symptomen durchsuchen, reparieren wir einfach unser Gewebe und wachsen weiter. Trotz aller kleinen Stolpersteine wachsen wir weiterhin ordentlich weiter. Unsere BlĂ€tter werden grĂ¶ĂŸer, unsere StĂ€mme krĂ€ftiger und unter der Erde arbeiten die Wurzeln vermutlich lĂ€ngst an ihrem eigenen Ausbauprojekt. Im Vergleich zur letzten Woche sehen wir inzwischen deutlich erwachsener aus. Noch sind wir jung, aber langsam entwickeln wir uns zu richtigen Pflanzen und nicht mehr nur zu besonders ehrgeizigen Keimlingen. NĂ€chste Woche hoffen wir auf etwas weniger Experimente im NĂ€hrstofftank und etwas mehr Routine. Andererseits wĂ€re das Leben als Pflanze vielleicht auch langweilig, wenn immer alles perfekt laufen wĂŒrde. 🌿 đŸ‘šâ€đŸŒŸ GĂ€rtner: Diese Woche lief nicht alles nach Plan, aber dafĂŒr habe ich wahrscheinlich mehr gelernt als in den ersten beiden Wochen zusammen. Der grĂ¶ĂŸte Unterschied zu meinen bisherigen Grows war der Wechsel von organischem auf mineralischen DĂŒnger. Beim nĂ€chsten Durchgang werde ich deutlich spĂ€ter mit der DĂŒngung beginnen, vermutlich erst Ende Woche 3. Die grĂ¶ĂŸte Erkenntnis war, wie schnell mineralische NĂ€hrstoffe wirken und wie wichtig ein sauber eingestellter pH-Wert ist. Mit organischem DĂŒnger hatte ich viele dieser Effekte nie direkt bemerkt, weil die NĂ€hrstoffe deutlich langsamer verfĂŒgbar werden. ZusĂ€tzlich sorgte eine falsche Lieferung fĂŒr etwas Chaos. Statt pH- kam zunĂ€chst pH+ an, wodurch die Wasseraufbereitung deutlich komplizierter wurde als geplant. Inzwischen ist das Problem aber gelöst und zukĂŒnftige Mischungen sollten deutlich entspannter verlaufen. Fehler gehören dazu, besonders wenn man neue Methoden ausprobiert. Wichtig ist am Ende, daraus zu lernen und die Pflanzen genau zu beobachten. Bisher haben sie mir zum GlĂŒck alle Fehler teils verziehen. đŸŒ± p.s. neue LST Haken!

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der sechsten BlĂŒtewoche kommt der Kampfzwerg an die Ausreifung der BlĂŒten. Sie zeigt ein schönes BlĂŒtenbild fĂŒr ihr GrĂ¶ĂŸe. Die BlĂŒtenstruktur ist kompakt und Dick, und es entwickelt sich ein frisches, sĂ€uerliches Aroma. Wenn es ein Apfel sein soll dann geht es in die Richtung Granny Smith. Die Pflanze ist sehr kompakt und kurz gehalten und hat im Stretch auch nichts mehr gerissen. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 27°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💹 RH: 56% VPD: 1,10 kPa 😎 PPfD: 830 mqm ————— Viele GrĂŒĂŸe 👋

14. Juni Mein Mikroskop hat leider den Geist aufgegeben :( daher gibt es leider keine Bilder der trichome. Habe mich dennoch nun dazu entschieden. So langsam fertig zu machen. Beim entlauben ist mir die fragwĂŒrdige wachstumsstruktur der BlĂŒten aufgefallen. Hab sie wohl doch schwer traumatisiert durch Training und Umweltbedingungen. Des Weiteren hab ich an manchen BlĂ€ttern ein paar Eier gefunden. Hatte ich bisher noch nie, bin allerdings noch ein Outdoor newbie im Vergleich zu indoor. Werde sie die kommende Woche noch etwas im hochbeet trocknen lassen, und dann demnĂ€chst schneiden. Wirklich ertragreich ist es nicht, aber ich sehe keine Samen. Verbuche ich als Erfolg. War stressig und Richtung Ende habe ich nicht sonderlich viel Aufmerksamkeit schenken können, hat dennoch Spaß gemacht Der Geruch ist absolut bestialisch! Kaum zu ĂŒberriechen. 16. Juni Hab jetzt mal zwei von drei geschnitten und ins Zelt gehĂ€ngt. Die letzte darf nochmal eine Woche, da sie sich eine Woche zu spĂ€t aus der Erde kam.

6/21/2021: - Transplanted to final pot. Next cycle, will germinate seed straight into the soil/final pot. - Bought a pump sprayer for even irrigation. - Fed soil a kelp, karanja, neem & coconut water tea. No adverse reactions as of yet. - Soil went hydrophobic before transplant, will water as necessary. - Branch on first node bent from stalk upon transplant, currently being supported by a stake. - Noticing red/purple stalks and branches, very stoked! - Need to re-feed lacto/wild yeast starter. - Need to brew up more kelp tea. 6/23/2021 - Took off support early, split seemed to heal, but has separated once again. Going to manifold, so not too concerned. - Had to water about .7g of water to keep soil moist for duration of day. - 6th node growing vigorously, birth of leaves for 7th node showing. 6/27/2021 - Topped plant for quadlining at the 5th node, cleared all growth under 3rd. - Watered with a mix of coconut water, DIY neem, karanja & kelp extract. - Foliar fed with DIY kelp extract. - Trimmed leaves already giving off great grapefruit aromas. - Pressing trim for framing.

These all so fine this one I would say is but more Indica 2 was a bit more Sativa and 1 was about right down the middle Oh man she beautiful all 3 about same small diffrence but all had good indoor struckture and so far high flavor all remind me of Skunk#1 Easy to trim big dence buds
