🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Cash Express – Pheno B A Taller Girl, A Brighter Stage, And Still Completely Herself 🌿🌸💡 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here we are again... Cash Express Pheno B. If you've been following this girl from the beginning, you already know that she has never really tried to be the same plant as her sister. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Same lighting. And yet... Pheno B has always had her own way of doing things. She's taller. She's more extended. She's got her own architecture. And she's carrying that beautiful, deep green foliage and those increasingly defined flowering sites that have been becoming her signature. And this week? We're not changing her. We're not reshaping her. We're not trying to make her something else. We're simply giving her everything she needs... and letting her shine. 🚂🌿🌸💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – Let Her Continue Cash Express Pheno B is currently around 93 cm tall. And that still makes her one of the taller expressions we've been following in this part of the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't really the important part anymore. The structure is established. The flowering sites are developing. The plant has already done the major work of building herself. Now we're entering the stage where patience becomes increasingly important. There's a temptation during flowering to constantly reach into the canopy. Move something. Remove something. Change something. Adjust something. But sometimes... there simply isn't anything that needs changing. Pheno B is healthy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. So we're letting her do exactly that. She's already shown us what kind of plant she wants to be. Our job now is to support her rather than fight her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Taller Than Her Sister – And That's Okay One of the most interesting things about having two Cash Express phenotypes in the same room is seeing how differently they can express themselves. Pheno A has her own structure. Pheno B has hers. And Pheno B has clearly chosen the taller route. She's occupying more vertical space. Her branches extend further through the canopy. Her flowers are distributed across a larger structure. But neither plant needs to become the other. That's one of the reasons I love this project. We're not trying to prove that one phenotype is better than another. We're documenting the differences. Same genetic family. Different expression. And Pheno B is making her own expression increasingly obvious with every week. She's the taller Cash Express. The more extended Cash Express. The one that decided there was nothing wrong with reaching a little higher. 😂🌿 And honestly... I like her exactly that way. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming The Main Story At this point, the height is becoming less interesting to me than what's happening at the flowering sites. And those are looking beautiful. The buds are becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are continuing to develop. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And when you compare the photographs with the earlier weeks... the transformation is obvious. What started as little flowering points is becoming a much more recognizable flowering structure. That's the part I love about documenting the same plant week after week. You don't just see the final result. You see the transition. You see the plant building herself. And Pheno B is certainly building. Slowly. Steadily. And very much in her own style. ──────────────────────── 💡 The 8×8 Just Got A Lot Brighter While we haven't been doing much to the plant herself, something significant has changed above her. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. And yes... we definitely noticed the difference. 😂💡 The available light increased substantially. In fact, it initially went a little higher than I wanted. So rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we reduced the power. We're currently running at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. And with that setting, we're seeing approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a very strong light environment. And I'm much happier controlling it at this level rather than simply chasing the highest possible number. We have the lighting capability. We have the headroom. And now we can choose how much of that capability we actually want to use. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD – But The Plant Isn't Flat One important detail when talking about that 1,500 PPFD number: That's across the upper canopy. Cash Express Pheno B is not a perfectly flat surface. She's a three-dimensional plant. Some flowers sit higher. Some branches sit lower. Some leaves face directly toward the fixtures. Others are naturally more shaded. So the amount of light changes throughout the structure. And that's perfectly normal. We're not trying to make every individual flower receive exactly the same intensity. We're trying to create a strong overall light environment while allowing the plant to use those photons effectively. And with Pheno B's taller architecture, this becomes particularly interesting. She's creating several different levels within the canopy. Upper. Middle. Inner. Lower. And every level has a different relationship with the light. ──────────────────────── 💚 A Big Thank You To Future Of Grow I want to give Future of Grow another big shout-out this week. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. And we're not simply installing them and calling it a day. We're actually testing them. We increased the available light. We measured the response. The PPFD went higher than my preferred target. So we reduced the power. Now we're running around 59% and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And there's another benefit I really appreciate. We're not only controlling the light intensity... we're also reducing electricity consumption. There's no reason to run equipment harder than necessary when we can achieve the light level we're looking for at a lower output. So we're testing the fixtures, learning what they can do, finding a practical operating level and allowing the plants to show us the results. That's exactly what I wanted from this addition to the project. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures to work. ──────────────────────── 💡 More Capability Doesn't Mean More Power This is something I think is worth emphasizing. Having a 600W fixture doesn't mean I need to run it at 100%. Having two additional fixtures doesn't mean I need to use every watt they can produce. The important thing is control. We added the lighting capability. We saw what happened. We adjusted. And now we're sitting at a level that I'm very comfortable with. Approximately 59% power. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And less electricity being consumed than if we simply pushed everything to maximum output. For me... that's much more interesting than chasing a number. We want useful photons. Not simply more watts. And Cash Express Pheno B is getting plenty of photons right now. 😂💡🌿 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Another Small Step The nutrition has also moved forward slightly. Again... nothing dramatic. We're making a small increase to Terra Bloom. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L That small increase brought the EC up just slightly. We're now around: ⚡ EC — 2.14 mS/cm And that's exactly where I want the adjustment to be. Small. Measured. Controlled. The plant is already healthy. The flowers are developing. The foliage is looking beautiful. So there's no reason to make a dramatic nutritional change. We're simply giving the flowering programme a little progression and watching how she responds. ──────────────────────── 💧 Irrigation – Consistency Is Still King The irrigation remains consistent as well. We're currently around: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours The nutrient solution is around: 🌡️ 25°C with the substrate also around: 🌡️ 25°C. And this is becoming increasingly important as flowering progresses. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs consistency. Light. Water. Nutrition. Root-zone stability. Environment. And time. The system provides the consistency. Cash Express provides the growth. And I get to stand there taking photographs. 😂📸 Honestly... I'm quite happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are approximately: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 93 cm The environment remains very consistent across the room. Summer still likes to remind us that plants don't live inside a mathematical spreadsheet. 😂☀️ Temperatures move. Humidity moves. The outside world changes. What matters is keeping those fluctuations controlled and maintaining stability where we can. And most importantly... the plants look happy. That's still the final check. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why We're Doing Less To Her Now This is probably the biggest change in our approach compared with the earlier stages of the grow. We're doing less. Not because we're paying less attention. Quite the opposite. We're watching more closely. But there's a difference between observing a plant and constantly manipulating it. Earlier in the grow, we had reasons to train. Reasons to shape. Reasons to remove foliage. Reasons to manage structure. Now? The structure is there. The flowers are developing. The canopy is established. And Cash Express Pheno B is healthy. So we're allowing her to continue. No unnecessary intervention. No trying to make her shorter. No trying to make her look like Pheno A. No trying to force her into a different architecture. She's already telling us what she wants to be. We're listening. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Beautiful Green Still Tells A Story That deep, lush green remains one of the first things I notice when I look at her. And it's something I don't take for granted. Those leaves are the working machinery behind everything we're seeing. They're capturing the light. They're processing photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're helping provide the energy required for continued development. And now that we're giving the room access to significantly more light, healthy foliage becomes even more important. The plant has more photons available. And she has the biological machinery to make use of them. That's the relationship we're watching. Light comes in. The plant responds. And the flowers continue developing. Simple... but absolutely fascinating. ──────────────────────── 💡 A Three-Dimensional Garden With Pheno B being one of the taller plants, the three-dimensional aspect of the lighting becomes especially interesting. She's not just occupying a flat plane. She's creating layers. Upper branches. Middle branches. Interior growth. Lower flowering sites. And as the plant develops, the way light travels through that structure changes. That's why our lighting strategy isn't simply about what happens directly above the plant. The Future of Grow fixtures provide the primary artificial sun. And Lumiflora continues helping bring additional light into areas that naturally receive less direct illumination. We're trying to make better use of the plant's three-dimensional structure. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better opportunities for useful photons throughout the plant." And Pheno B gives us a particularly interesting example because of her height and architecture. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Keeps Revealing More This is another week where the photographs really tell the story. The wide shots show the architecture. The height. The branches. The overall flowering structure. But the closer photographs reveal something completely different. The pistils. The developing flowers. The texture. The tiny details appearing throughout the buds. And this is why I love keeping individual diaries. From across the room, Cash Express Pheno B is simply one plant among twelve. But when we isolate her... we can appreciate her. We can follow her. We can see her changes. And we can actually document her individual expression. That's the whole point. ──────────────────────── Same Genetics – Different Expression Her sister is still there. Same cultivar. Same room. Same general conditions. But look at them. Different architecture. Different height. Different way of occupying the space. Different expression. And that's exactly why I don't want to force one phenotype to behave like another. If I did that, we'd lose the very thing we're trying to document. The whole point of the 8×8 Adventure is to give these plants a comparable environment and then let their genetics speak. Cash Express Pheno B is speaking clearly. She's taller. She's lush. She's vigorous. She's flowering beautifully. And she's doing it her way. ──────────────────────── 🌸 We're Moving Deeper Into Flower The stage we're entering now is becoming increasingly interesting. The plant has already transitioned. The flowering sites are established. The structure is visible. Now we're watching those flowers continue developing and becoming increasingly substantial. This is where patience becomes extremely important. We can't photograph a dramatic transformation every single day. But week after week... the difference becomes obvious. And that's what these reports capture. One week. One photograph. One observation. One little piece of the story. Eventually, all those little pieces become the complete picture. And Pheno B is giving us a beautiful one. ──────────────────────── 🔬 The 8×8 Adventure – Twelve Plants, One Experiment This week is another reminder of what makes this project so much fun. Twelve different genetics. One room. A shared environment. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition strategy. Shared lighting philosophy. And now an upgraded lighting system capable of delivering significantly more photons. We're not trying to make all twelve plants identical. We're trying to give them comparable opportunities. Then we observe. Some will stretch. Some won't. Some will develop compact flowers. Some will build more elongated structures. Some will mature differently. And that's the information we're collecting. Cash Express Pheno B is simply one of those twelve stories. And she's a particularly beautiful one. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, we're keeping the plan simple. Continue observing. Continue monitoring the flowers. Continue maintaining the environment. Continue providing consistent irrigation. Continue with the flowering nutrition. Continue monitoring the new lighting setup. And let Cash Express Pheno B continue doing what she does. We're not looking for reasons to interfere. We're looking for reasons to understand. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development 🌿 Healthy foliage 💎 Increasing resin production ☀️ Response to the stronger lighting environment 💧 Consistent water demand 🌡️ Environmental stability 🌬️ Good airflow throughout the canopy 📈 Increasing flower definition and density And most importantly... we'll let the plant set the pace. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Final Thoughts – Let This Girl Shine There are some weeks where the grower does a lot. And there are other weeks where the most important thing the grower can do is step back. This is one of those weeks. We added two Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We tested the increased lighting capability. The PPFD climbed higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output. We're now running around 59% power from the plug and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We made a small increase to Terra Bloom. The EC moved slightly higher to around 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because Cash Express Pheno B doesn't need us constantly reaching into her canopy. She needs consistency. She needs photons. She needs water. She needs nutrition. And she needs time. And she's getting all of those things. She's still the taller Cash Express. She's still lush. She's still beautiful. She's still developing those flowers and those unmistakable white pistils. And she's still writing her own story. I don't want to change that. I want to document it. So keep doing what you're doing, girl. Keep growing. Keep flowering. Keep showing us what this phenotype can become. The lights are ready. The environment is steady. The nutrition is supporting you. And we're watching. 🚂🌸💚💡 Let's make her shine. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these twelve individual stories. Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these genetics and discover how differently individual phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this flowering journey with the nutrition helping these girls continue developing. And a huge thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs powering our artificial sun and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, adjust the output and find a practical operating level has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also reducing unnecessary electricity consumption. That's exactly the kind of real-world testing I love. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for continuing to help bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore lighting as a three-dimensional environment. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person stopping by to see how the girls are doing. You're all part of this adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. And this particular story? It's Cash Express Pheno B. She's taller. She's lush. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's developing. And she's doing it her own way. The lights are stronger. The nutrition has moved slightly. The environment remains stable. And now... we let her continue. 🚂🌿🌸💡 Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is provide the conditions, pay attention, and step back. Cash Express Pheno B doesn't need us to force the story. She's already writing it. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this beautiful girl shows us next. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🚂🔥

WEEK 9: SLO-MO TORTURE & UV TAN. ☀️💎 Week 9 overall, but only Week 4 of flower. Time is moving like a snail, man. I’m losing my mind waiting, but the girls? They’re living their best life. I just threw some UV bars in the mix—gave 'em that premium solarium vibe. They’re soaking up those rays and the resin production is going nuclear. You can literally see 'em getting frostier by the hour. That extra light is hitting different, making the trichomes pop like diamonds. They’re looking expensive, smelling illegal, and getting fat. The wait is a bh, but the quality is gonna be top-tier.* 🦍🍰 Who else is running UV to boost that frost? Is it worth the hype? Drop your results. 👇

Its very frosty and I would say overall very good if you are looking for hash. I personally do not get much flavors out of it. I harvested 3 plants, flushed them properly, and dried them properly. All of that said, the flavor just wasnt there for me. I get a coffee aroma from its buds but definitely lacks flavor. I do not get any sweet notes from it like I should. This strain is strawbanana cream x do-si-do so I was hoping for a bit more flavor. I do not weigh wet, so final dry weight after a tight trim was a little over 6 ounces.

Biggest Autoflower Ever - Pineapple Express was the GOAT. 479 Grams Dry Weight, 78 Days from seed to Harvest Was a big surprise having almost a HALF KILOGRAM FROM AUTOFLOWER, Always thought 500 grams per square meter description was a legend but no, IT CAN BE TRUE Good luck to all my grower fellas, I will not stop on growing in hydro, even tho half of this run was in handmade hydro. It was my third hydro Grow and I see the Improvement Last one was only 300 Grams dry weight Strawberry Banana from FB Pinepple Express itself is a 10/10 strain, it says mostly Indica but feels like the best Sativa I have ever tried, great pineapple smell and taste, hits like Mike Tyson, perfect strain and YUMMY as hell, loved it, will grow it again probably as it's not only mine favorite strain. Cheers Fellas, good grows and big yields to everyone!

51 Days in flower have passed. This week i got myself an upgrade, new light the FC-E3000 and a 120x60 grow tent so i can grow some bigger and better medicine. I love the specs on the light, the price was right and so i have high expectations from looking at other peoples reviews of the light. We will see if im able to hit the jackpot with this! 🤠 The girls are looking great! Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. the pictures and videos are self explanatory, its looking awesome!!! If you ever wondered where i stashed the Runtz and Bruce Banner; i took them out of the grow tent and just put them in the corner of my house without light only surviving off the light in the shadow from the sun, they have been neglected for a while but they still went on super strong, they started flowering 3 weeks ago so i had to put them into reveg so they look a little odd now but its all good. it was either that or i would have to throw them in the trash, and im not gonna waste some nice strains like that. Im impressed how they have survived with almost no light and water. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. 😎

The CBD and SAD seem to be finishing a bit quicker than the other 2, they might be ready in a week or two. I will probably drop the EC next time I fill the tank. Some of the branches with heavier top buds were starting to hang and get too close to other buds, so I used some garden wire to fasten them to the tent poles, which can be seen in the video between the 13th and 14th. Pretty uneventful week otherwise.

This week, my cannabis plant is showing some signs of thirst. Unfortunately, I had to cut back on watering due to a small infestation of fungus gnats. To combat the problem, I decided to apply nematodes. Hopefully, they will take care of the larvae in the soil. Despite the reduced watering, the plant still looks strong and healthy overall. The buds are continuing to develop nicely.🌱🌱 I'm really curious to see how things progress in the coming weeks, especially now that the pest issue is being addressed.💚 Be excited for the coming weeks 💚🌱🌱

🌸 Week 7 Flower – The Calm Before the Harvest And here we are — week seven of flower, and what a journey it has been. From the very first drops of water on tiny seeds to these full, mature blossoms now bowing under their own weight — the Gelonade girls have written their own story in green and gold. Both phenos, #1 and #2, are stunning. Pheno #2, the unicorn with her foxtailing beauty, continues to fascinate — those whimsical towers of calyxes spiraling like dreams reaching for the light. Pheno #1, elegant and balanced, stands beside her sister with a classic structure, both radiating health and character. Together they show us two faces of the same soul — different yet equally divine. 💧 Now It’s Just Water This week, the feeding bottles rest. No more nutrients, no boosters, no extras — just pure water. This is the flush, the gentle cleansing before harvest. By giving only water, we let the plants draw on their reserves, enhancing smoothness, flavor, and the purity of the final smoke. It’s a closing ritual — a moment of reflection and respect for everything these plants have given. 🌱 Quick Recap – From Seed to This Moment • Germination began with The Cannakan method — simple, precise, full of hope. • Vegetative growth brought vigor, beautiful branching, and the discovery of the now-legendary funky leaf mutation. • Transplant into the 11L Amnesia fabric pots gave them the space to breathe and thrive. • Flowering came like a symphony — weeks of stretch, light, and color; a perfect balance of Aptus and Plagron nutrition; canopy lights dancing from above and below. • Foxtailing appeared on Pheno #2, transforming her into a work of art, a living sculpture of what happens when genetics, environment, and light decide to play together. Now, the flowers are glistening — pistils curling, trichomes milky, the scent rich and intoxicating. They are close… very close. Maybe not quite harvest yet, but whispering that they’re ready to show us their final act. 🌿 What to Expect Next In the coming days, we’ll watch for trichomes turning amber, for the pistils darkening, and for that subtle shift in the aroma that says “it’s time.” Expect colors to deepen, aromas to intensify, and the garden to take on that unmistakable aura of readiness. What not to expect? Rush. The girls have given us everything — now we simply wait, watch, and let them finish in peace. 💚 Gratitude To the community, the growers, the dreamers, the quiet watchers — thank you. To the sponsors and creators who make the gear that lets us grow — thank you. To the lovers and the haters — thank you too; you both push us to evolve. And to the Gelonades — thank you for being the living proof that care, patience, and love can create art from soil and light. 🌸 Closing Thought This week feels like the pause between heartbeats — the silence before the song’s last note. Everything we’ve done led us here, and everything that comes next will bloom from this moment. “May the waters run pure, may the buds rest easy, and may we harvest not just flowers — but gratitude for every step that brought us here.” 📝 PS: Pre-Harvest Notes — Knowing When It’s Time The last stretch before harvest is all about observation and patience. Every grower wants to pick the perfect moment, but that moment is a whisper, not a shout. Here’s how to listen for it: 🌼 Trichomes Your best guide. Under magnification, they tell the story. When most are cloudy with a few amber heads starting to appear, the flowers are at their peak — full potency and rich aroma. Clear trichomes mean “not yet,” while too many ambers mean the effect will lean heavier and more sedative. 🧡 Pistils Watch the hairs. Early in flower they stand white and proud, but as harvest nears they curl in and darken to orange or brown. When roughly 70–90% have changed color, the plant is signalling readiness. 🍃 Leaf Fade As you feed only water, the large fan leaves begin to pale, pulling the last stored nutrients into the buds. This is a natural and healthy fade, not a deficiency — it means the plant is completing her life cycle. 💨 Aroma Shift In the final days, the scent deepens — less sweet, more complex. Sometimes you’ll notice earthy, gassy, or fruity tones becoming more defined. That change means the terpenes are reaching full maturity. 🌙 Energy Even the way the plant feels changes — the branches seem to relax, the weight of the flowers makes them bow slightly, as if in quiet surrender to the harvest. When all these signs align — trichomes milky with a touch of amber, pistils mostly curled and dark, the fade in motion, and the room filled with a full, mature scent — then it’s time. Until then, let her dream a little longer.
