Mexican Airlines is looking good. I'm doing some LST experimentation on her so far I'm seeing some nice development from the lower nodes, tried spreading those nodes out today. She's front-left in the group pics.

12-28 Scc got plain ph water. 3x got none. Just a day to show off their moves. 😂🤘 Scc is happy. I suspect she may not like plain water though. 12-29 3x plain ph water. 12-30 Scc half tsp build a bloom ( I put ml last week, think it was stuck in my head 😂), 1/2 tsp recharge, 1/8th tsp kelp and 1 ml drops. Upped the dose of build bloom from 1/4 to half tsp. Was only 310 ppm after stiring and desolving for several hours. Felt low, but taking it slow. 3x gets all the goodies on her next! . 12-31 Started a 2 gallon tea. 1/4 cup poo, 1 1/2 tsp build a bloom, 2 ml drops, 1/8 tsp kelp, 1/2 tsp recharge, 1 tbs molasses. Bubble bubble. Ppm is 612 brewing. 24 hrs Bring in the new year with some goodies! 💪🤘 Happy New Year! 1-1 Gabe them both the tea. Ppm was 623 ph 6.2. Mmm

the smell now is unreal! this pheno is going to be labelled #ScrewballPheno as the smells of raspberry ripple ice cream, cherry & fruits with a pungent undertone really gets the senses going..... big plans for this girl in the future!!

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 5 | Giant Leaves, Big Dreams Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you’ve been following this project from the beginning, you’ll know that every phenotype is writing its own story. Although they all share the same room, the same environment, the same lighting schedule, and very similar nutrition, each plant continues to express herself in completely unique ways. That’s exactly why I love phenotype hunts. This project follows every plant individually using the 12/12 From Seed method, allowing each lady to decide for herself when she’s ready to leave vegetative growth behind and begin flowering. This week… Chem Brûlée Pheno A left absolutely no doubt. Flowering has officially begun. ⸻ 🌼 The First Flowers One of the most exciting moments during any grow is seeing those first bright white pistils appear. These delicate hairs are the female reproductive organs of the plant and mark the true beginning of flower production. During these first weeks, the plant is shifting priorities. Instead of investing all her energy into producing stems and leaves, she now begins building the framework that will eventually become dense, resin-coated flowers. Every new white hair is another small step toward harvest. It’s always an exciting stage to witness. ⸻ 🍃 Those Incredible Fan Leaves The first thing anyone notices about this phenotype… Those leaves. They’re absolutely enormous. Some of these fan leaves are nearly twice the size of my own hands—and I definitely don’t have tiny hands! Large fan leaves often indicate a plant that is photosynthesizing efficiently, capturing as much light energy as possible to fuel rapid development. They’re essentially giant solar panels. As long as they’re healthy, standing proudly, and maintaining a rich green colour, they’re doing exactly what nature designed them to do. At this stage I prefer to let them work. Every healthy leaf is another energy factory helping build the flowers that are only just beginning to form. ⸻ 🌱 Gentle Training Training continues to remain incredibly simple. No aggressive bending. No topping. No heavy defoliation. Instead, we’re relying mainly on gentle leaf tucking and subtle low-stress training to improve light penetration while allowing the plant to maintain her natural structure. Sometimes the best training isn’t forcing a plant into shape. Sometimes it’s simply helping her reveal the shape she already wanted to grow. So far… She’s rewarding that patience beautifully. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Life Chem Brûlée Pheno A is growing on the AutoPot irrigation system. Once the root system becomes established, the AquaValve automatically delivers nutrient solution from below whenever the plant drinks enough to lower the water level inside the tray. There’s no timer. No electricity controlling irrigation. No daily watering routine. The plant simply feeds herself whenever she needs it. It’s a remarkably elegant system that encourages consistent moisture levels while reducing stress caused by repeated drying cycles. This week I’ve also included photos comparing the nutrient solution used in the AutoPot reservoir with the hand-feeding mix used for the non-AutoPot plants. Although the recipes are very similar, the EC differs slightly because plants growing on AutoPots receive a constant supply of nutrients, allowing for a more stable feeding strategy. Every cultivation method has its own rhythm. Learning those rhythms is part of becoming a better grower. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding Strategy This week we adjusted the nutrition slightly to support the transition into flowering. The bloom nutrients are now beginning to take over while still providing enough support for the final stretch before flower production accelerates. As always, every adjustment is based on observation rather than routine. Healthy plants tell you what they need. You simply have to learn how to listen. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running beautifully. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 31°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly higher during this transitional phase because the plants are still producing large amounts of fresh vegetative growth while stretching into flower. Over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced as flowers begin gaining density. The room itself is really starting to come alive now. Every day the canopy looks fuller, healthier, and more vibrant than the day before. Watching an entire room evolve together never gets old. ⸻ 📸 Capturing the Journey This week’s update includes bird’s-eye views, side profiles, close-ups, and room shots to document every stage of Chem Brûlée A’s development. One of my favourite details is simply seeing those giant fan leaves from different angles. Months from now they’ll be part of the story, reminding us where this beautiful lady began before her canopy disappears beneath a forest of flowers. That’s why I enjoy documenting everything. Not just the destination… But every step that leads there. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week I expect Chem Brûlée A to continue stretching while producing many more pistils across the canopy. Bud sites should become more clearly defined, and the first signs of flower stacking will begin to appear. Training will remain minimal, allowing her natural structure to continue developing while we simply guide her when necessary. Sometimes the biggest changes happen quietly. This feels like one of those moments. ⸻ 💚 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 you’re sharing this journey with me.

Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Gained 4-5 inches growth on every plant since moving outdoors. Been feeding compost tea I formulate myself brewed in concentrated and diluted 50-50 I’m ramping up my soil nutes for a week window I’m going out of town and having someone water for me. I getting exactly the results I’ve intended so far and couldn’t be happier. I’m rotating neem and bt. I’ve top dressed castings and guano as well as some other light dressing of other organics to promote micronutrients, I can’t recall everything as I tend to sort of wing it as I see fit. Soil coloration near black and teaming with life great aeration as green mulch becomes more prominent above ground, signifying penetration and good oxygen supply to established cannabis rootball. Teaming with the smell of signifying proper biome health. As spring establish new life the health of the yard has me feeling optimistic for the rest of the season. Most plants have near doubled in size and kicking off new stems from most recent topping. Survived a couple colder nights also which I hope to be the last that low for the rest of the year near 38-40 F*. Hardly fazed plants remain healthy as ever.

Plants are very healthy They didn’t drink as much as I expected this week Trying to build doors for this closet

Dailing in nutrients and plenty of rain.The girls are really showing there stuff this week.Beautiful!!!Great week.

10 week harvest in the end - diary skipped a good week. Lots of trimming, very sticky buds - finally broke my trusty trimming scissors, handle just fell apart. I'll miss them :(

These girls are putting on quite a bit of growth. The taller of the 2 really likes to drink a lot of water, and the smaller doesn’t seem to drink much at all. Tomorrow I’ll probably give them their first nutrients. They’ve been in that soil for about a month and only taking the nutrients from that. Hopefully with some more nutrients they’ll grow more aggressively. I couldn’t control myself with the tall clone. I planned to leave it alone and keep her as a mother, but I really enjoy training and figured I could get some pretty large clones from her if I trained her as well. Last night I moved more powerful LED light that I have into the room. My flowering plant just went into 36 hours of darkness before I harvest her, so may as well give these clones about a week and a half of this light. Is it possible to over train a plant? I feel I’ve just tied the smaller clone (biggie smalls) to the soil and haven’t allowed her to really bulk up…

She has been grow well. Quebec Blast did great with root pruning. I increased nutrition a little. Did my weekly solution change. Also changed light schedule to 12 12 today to flower them. She is growing on a New Level Hydro bucket, under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 50 percent.

Week 8 Looking absolutely huge😂 They’re so tall and wide . Lots of healthy green leaves and strong roots. I was worrying a lot about sex issues as when I did my research I found out they’re quite common to hermaphrodite. Was really worrying but all calyx’s have female signs (so far🙏🏻) so pray for me brothers&sisters.

Hi Growmies,this was the last week of nutes she’s getting. Feels like I completely misjudged how far she is along, as it seems like she has started the ripening process. Ph and ec was in line the whole time, once the leaves started fading i thought that I have a lock out or sth, so I fed canna flush for a day and continued with a fresh reservoir as per my regular feeding schedule, To no avail, as she continues to fade, even after. Not a Biggy, as the trichomes are definitely all far enough along to harvest her after the next week of flushing. Thanks for stepping by and until next week :)

Shes kinda dark, cal/mag dropped to .5 gallon. I hit her with Game time and she burned a tad. But shes good. Only getting cal/mag and green sensation. Had to tie some of her branches up, sagging badly. She is freaking rocking! Now if the RH will go away. Darn rain!
