It is so very hot now every day here. All my girls are suffering from the heat and they need to be watered very frequently. I avoid drying them out completely. She is developing nice long colas that start to smell really good.

Big buds nice citrus smell well THC coated.

Plant is doing good, transplanted it. Values are average of the day.

Aug 31: she looks pretty close to done but I’ll see how much longer I can hold out on harvest. Chemdawg is a personal fave strain for effect and taste so I’m really looking forward to this one. Sep 1: still fighting the urge to harvest. Maybe next weekend. Nice weather and lots of sun lately so might be good to keep it going for a bit longer. Sep 2: harvest a small branch with three buds. Itching for some fresh stuff. Found my small scale and the branch and three buds weighs 8 g wet.

Hey all! 🙌 It's me again, after a hiatus I'm back in action and this time I'll be growing two plants! The strain is Green Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds and the two babies are going to be Pistachio and Matcha, two green ice creams flavors to match with the strain name! 😋 I started soaking both seeds in a glass with water for 24 hours to hydrate them (I forgot to take a photo of this!) and after that I placed them in a jiffy pellet. After some days Pistachio was the first one to show while Matcha was still being a little behind. During this I made a small mistake, instead of opening the cardboard box where I placed the seeds I left the baby plant inside so she grew a bit too much during the night... ooops! But nothing too serious (I got it fixed after moving her into a cup). Some days after Matcha appeared but it seemed she was having a small issue, it seemed like part of her shell was still stuck to her so I helped by removing it and then she started to grow normally once again. Right now I moved Pistachio to one of those red cups and I used some mycorrhizas on her! Glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices to be more precise! Next week I'll be doing the same with Matcha. 😊 I also started making a timelapse (I think it looks awful haha but it helps to see how Matcha started to recover!) I hope you'll all enjoy the photos! 😃 See you all next week!

Good week, she's cloudy so I'll be chopping at the end of the week.

Leider wegen Umbau auf einen anderen Standort vom Zelt Fehlen ein paar Bilder.

When trimming I noticed one plant hermie a few banana bunches here and there but luckily it does not seem to have seeded the others but I’ve currently only harvested the one with bananas. These plants stink I have showered and changed clothes and ppl still asking me if I have something on me 😝💪🌱 will do dry cured photos of each plant but every plant is 100g + dry weight

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)

I love this strain to pieces man! Another high quality genetic by original sensible seeds, very very hard dense nuggets like rocks, sticky, stinky as hell, high quality, as always by original sensible seeds. 100% organic grown

🚂 8×8 Adventure — Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Harvest — Part 1 🌸💚 👑 The Harvest Begins! Beautiful Flowers, One Setback, and a New Drying Experiment 📸❄️ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, my friends! 🌱💚 Well… Here we are. Harvest time has arrived for Cash Express Pheno A! 🚂🌸✂️ And before we get into this beautiful girl, I owe everyone a little explanation. 🙏💚 We're dividing this harvest into two parts. Not because we're trying to drag the story out, but because there's simply too much we want to share, and GrowDiaries has its limitations on the number of photographs we can include in an update. With the newer posting restrictions, we have to work around the 30-photo limit for the final report, including the trimming photographs, post-harvest observations, and smoke review. And if you've been following my diaries, you already know that I have a small problem… 😂📸 I LOVE taking photographs. I take photographs of the plants. I take photographs of the flowers. I take macro photographs. I stack photographs. I take photographs of the equipment. And then, when I think I've finished, I find something else worth photographing! 😂🌿📸 So, rather than squeeze everything into one report and leave important parts of her story out, we're splitting the harvest documentation into two parts. 💚 Part 1 — Harvest and Drying: We're celebrating Cash Express, documenting the harvest stage, showing the photographs, and introducing the drying setup and our DryFerm comparison. ✂️ Part 2 — Post-Harvest and Final Review: We'll return with the next stage of her journey, including the trimming, final observations, and smoke review when they're ready. This way, we can give her the attention she deserves without trying to fit an entire harvest into one overcrowded update. Thank you for bearing with us, everyone! 🙏💚 Now, let's get back to our girl. Because despite one unfortunate moment earlier in the run, this has been a beautiful journey. Cash Express has given us some lovely flowers, some fantastic photographs, and plenty to appreciate. She's now in the drying stage, and we're moving into the next chapter. 🚂💚🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — HOW DID WE GET HERE? For anyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure! The idea behind this project is to document individual plants and phenotypes sharing the same overall growing environment, while observing how differently they express themselves. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional approach. Different plants. Different structures. Different personalities. And sometimes, very different journeys. 🌿🌸💚 Cash Express Pheno A has been part of this adventure from the beginning. We've documented her development week after week, watched her flowers form, photographed her progress, and followed her individual story alongside the other plants in the room. This run has been a genuinely enjoyable experience overall. Of course, no grow is guaranteed to go perfectly from beginning to end. And this girl had one unfortunate setback. We lost her main cola to bud rot. 💔 It was disappointing, especially because it was such a beautiful flower. But we caught the problem in time, removed the affected cola, and no other colas were affected by that incident. That's an important part of her story, and I'm not going to pretend it didn't happen. But I'm also not going to let that one moment define the entire run. Because there is so much more to this plant than the flower we lost. The remaining flowers continued developing, and now we're looking at a harvest with beautiful colours, dense flowers, and plenty of details worth documenting. That's what I want to celebrate today. The whole journey. The good moments, the difficult moments, the lessons, and the final result we're now preparing to document. 💚🌱 ──────────────────────── 🚂 CASH EXPRESS — THE JOURNEY CONTINUES! One thing I really enjoyed about this girl was her pace. Throughout the flowering period, she seemed to move along with a different rhythm from some of the other plants in the room. While some of our girls were happy taking their time, Cash Express kept giving us reasons to return with the camera and see what had changed. 😂🚂💨 And that's one of the things that makes a multi-plant project so interesting. The calendar can be the same, the room can be shared, and the overall environment can be consistent, but individual plants don't necessarily develop in identical ways. We have to observe what each plant actually shows us rather than expect them all to follow the same script. Cash Express had her own rhythm, her own structure, and her own flowering story. And now, after all those weeks of observation, we've reached harvest. 💚🌸 I'm genuinely happy with this girl. The lost main cola was a setback, but it doesn't erase the rest of the work, the flowers that remained, or the experience of documenting her throughout the run. We're here to show the journey honestly. And that's exactly what we're doing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE FLOWERS! Now, my friends… Let's appreciate what we have in front of us! 💚📸🌸 The photographs show the individual character of Cash Express Pheno A, from the broader views of her flowers to the closer details that make macro photography so enjoyable. There are beautiful colours throughout the flowers, intricate structures, and plenty of detail to explore. And that's one of the reasons I wanted to give her a proper harvest report rather than simply announce that she'd been cut down and move on. The final flowering photographs are part of the record. They capture her at this particular moment in the journey, before the drying and trimming stages change the way we observe and document her. Once this stage has passed, we can't go back and recreate it. So we photograph it. We document it. We appreciate it. And we share it with all of you. 💚📸✨ ──────────────────────── 📸 A LITTLE LOVE FOR THE CAMERA If there's one thing this adventure has taught me, it's that the camera can reveal a lot more than we initially notice when simply walking through the room. You look at the whole plant. Then you look at an individual flower. Then you get closer. And closer. And suddenly, you're discovering little details that you might otherwise have walked straight past. 😂🔬📸 That's why I enjoy taking the time to photograph each phenotype individually. The photographs aren't just decoration for the diary. They help preserve a visual record of the plant's development and give us something meaningful to compare when we look back at earlier stages. For Cash Express, this final flowering session gives us a chance to appreciate the flowers that made it to harvest and preserve their appearance before we move into the next phase. The main cola we lost is part of the story. The flowers we harvested are part of the story too. Both belong in an honest grow diary. And this week, the spotlight belongs to the girl who brought us all the way here. 🚂🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 💔 A QUICK WORD ABOUT THE MAIN COLA I want to address this one properly, because I think honesty matters more than trying to make every diary look perfect. Earlier in the run, we discovered bud rot affecting Cash Express's main cola. We caught it in time and removed the affected flower. No other colas were affected by that incident. Naturally, losing such a prominent flower was disappointing. But it happens: even when a grow is progressing well overall, problems can occasionally appear, and no grower can honestly promise that every plant will make it through a run without an issue. The important thing is to document what happened accurately. We're not going to hide the loss. We're not going to pretend it was part of the plan. And we're not going to suggest that it represents the entire outcome of the run. It was one unfortunate event in an otherwise enjoyable journey. The remaining flowers continued through the run, and we've now harvested the plant. 💚🌱 That's the reality of growing. Sometimes you get everything you'd hoped for. Sometimes something unexpected happens. And sometimes you learn to appreciate what remains while being honest about what didn't go as planned. Cash Express deserves that honesty just as much as she deserves her beautiful photographs. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ HARVEST COMPLETE — WELCOME TO THE DRYING STAGE Now we move into a different part of the journey. Cash Express has been harvested, and we're documenting the drying environment as part of this update. One important detail about the setup is that there is no light schedule running in the drying zone. The lights are not operating on a flowering photoperiod. We're now documenting the drying area and its environmental conditions, rather than continuing the flowering-room routine. The current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Temperature: Around 19–20°C, remaining stable between day and night with the help of air conditioning. 💧 Relative humidity: Approximately 60% at the time of this report. 🌑 Lighting: No scheduled light cycle in the drying area. 🌬️ Environment: Temperature and humidity are being monitored while the plant material dries. During the first 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 room returned to the conditions we're documenting now. These are observations of our setup, not a guarantee that every plant will dry in exactly the same amount of time. The plant material itself, its density, how it's arranged, and the actual conditions throughout the drying period all matter. For this girl, we're allowing the process to unfold and documenting what happens. We'll provide the next update when we have the next stage of her journey to share. ⏳🌿 ──────────────────────── A NEW SIDE-BY-SIDE TEST — INTRODUCING DRYFERM Now, here's something I'm particularly interested in documenting! 💚📦 DryFerm kindly sent us some of their drying bags to test, and we're running a side-by-side comparison with our usual drying setup. 👉 DryFerm product page: https://dryferm.de/collections/dryferm/products/dryfermbag Thank you to DryFerm for giving us the opportunity to put these bags into our ongoing comparison! The idea is straightforward: we're comparing different drying approaches while keeping track of the plants and material involved. Some of the flowers are being placed inside the DryFerm bags, while other flowers from the same plants are being dried in the drying rack alongside them. That gives us a way to observe the different approaches side by side, rather than simply relying on assumptions about how they might perform. We've been doing this comparison with material from different cultivars over a period of weeks, and we're continuing to document the experience. For Cash Express, the flowers in this report are being dried using the rack method. The bag comparison is part of the wider experiment, with flowers from the same plants being divided between the different approaches where applicable. We're interested in documenting the differences we actually observe, including the drying experience and the eventual condition of the flowers. And importantly, we're not going to declare a winner before we've finished the comparison. 😂🔬 We need to let the process run its course, document the results, and share our observations honestly. That's the whole point of testing something new. Not simply saying a product is fantastic because it arrived at the door. Not claiming a particular result before we've observed it. But actually using it, comparing our experience, and reporting what we find. 💚📦🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌿 DRYING RACKS — ANOTHER PART OF THE EQUIPMENT STORY Alongside the DryFerm comparison, we're also using the Zamnesia Herb Drying Rack. And I want to give this piece of equipment a mention because it's been a useful part of our post-harvest setup. The rack has multiple compartments, giving us separate spaces to arrange material during drying. One thing I appreciate about this style of rack is the way it allows us to organize the flowers while keeping the setup compact. Different plants can be harvested at different times, and having a dedicated place to arrange the material helps us keep the drying process organized. We're using the rack for this Cash Express comparison, while other plants in the room may be hanging as whole plants or being handled using a different arrangement. That's part of the reality of a multi-plant run: not every plant is necessarily at the same stage, and the drying setup needs to accommodate the material we have. The rack is one of the tools helping us manage that stage of the adventure. 🌿💚 A big thank you to Zamnesia for the Herb Drying Rack and for supporting the wider journey with their genetics and equipment. ──────────────────────── 🔬 WHY WE'RE DOCUMENTING THE DRYING PROCESS Drying is not simply a period where we stop paying attention to the plants. It's another stage worth documenting in its own right. We've spent weeks observing the plants during growth and flowering. Now, the way the harvested material is arranged and the conditions surrounding it become part of the record. That's especially relevant when we're comparing different drying approaches. If we want to learn something useful from the DryFerm side-by-side test, we need to keep track of what we're doing and avoid jumping to conclusions based on one photograph or one observation. The bags and the rack are different approaches. Our job is to document the experience accurately. We'll share what we observe as the comparison progresses, rather than promise that one approach will automatically deliver a better outcome. And we'll keep the final trimming and smoke-review discussion for the next report, once those stages have actually taken place. 💚🔬📸 ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE TAKE TO DRY? At the moment, we're allowing approximately two weeks as our working expectation under the conditions we're observing. But that's an estimate, not a deadline. The actual drying time may vary depending on the material and how it progresses in the environment. So we're not going to announce that Cash Express will be ready on a particular day simply because a calendar says so. We'll continue monitoring her and document the next stage when it's appropriate. The important thing is that this report records where she is now. Harvested. Photographed. In the drying stage. And waiting for the next chapter. 🌿⏳💚 We'll have more to share in Part 2, including the post-harvest observations and trimming details. For now, the camera can take a little break… Although, knowing me, it probably won't be a long one. 😂📸 ──────────────────────── 💚 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — ONE MORE MILESTONE There is something satisfying about reaching the harvest stage with another plant from this project. Every individual diary represents weeks of observation, photographs, changes, surprises, and decisions. And Cash Express Pheno A has been no different. We've seen her development. We've documented her flowering. We've had the disappointment of losing the main cola. We've continued observing the remaining flowers. And now, we've reached the point where her flowering chapter is complete. That is a milestone worth celebrating. The 8×8 Adventure has never been about pretending every plant will behave in the same way or produce an identical result. It's about documenting individual plants honestly within the wider project. Some chapters are straightforward. Some include unexpected problems. Some leave us with questions we want to explore further. And sometimes a plant gives us the perfect opportunity to compare equipment or document a different part of the process. Cash Express has given us a little of everything. And now, her story continues into drying and post-harvest. 🚂🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS — THIS IS PART ONE, NOT THE END Cash Express by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Harvest report — Part 1. 🚂🌸💚 First of all, thank you for bearing with us while we divide the reports. With the 30-photo limitation, including the photographs we want to share for trimming and the smoke review, we need to organize the material carefully. I'd rather give you two useful reports than squeeze everything into one update and lose the details that make this diary worth following. And this girl deserves those details. Overall, this has been a beautiful run. We had one unfortunate issue with bud rot affecting the main cola, but we caught it in time, removed the affected flower, and no other colas were affected by that incident. The remaining flowers continued through the run, and now we've harvested the plant and moved into the drying stage. The drying environment is being monitored, with temperatures around 19–20°C and relative humidity around 60% after the initial period when I temporarily lowered it to approximately 45%. We're also documenting our side-by-side comparison between DryFerm bags and the drying rack, with this girl's flowers being dried using the rack method. There's more to come. We'll return with the next chapter when we're ready to share the post-harvest details, trimming, and smoke review. For now, I want to appreciate Cash Express for what she has given us. The photographs. The flowers. The lessons. The experience. And another individual story completed within the 8×8 Adventure. 🚂💚🌸 Thank you, Cash Express. You've earned your spotlight. And this is not goodbye. It's simply the end of Part 1. ──────────────────────── 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

One more drying journey underway. And plenty more to document. 🚂💚🌸 We'll see you again in Part 2, where we'll continue her story with the next stage of the post-harvest process, the trimming, and the smoke review when they're ready. Until then, thank you for being here, thank you for the support, and thank you for following the 8×8 Adventure. The main cola may have been lost along the way, but this girl's story is much bigger than that one setback. And we're not finished telling it yet. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you in the next chapter of the 8×8 jungle… where the plants keep teaching us, the cameras keep clicking, the drying experiments keep going, and there's always another story worth sharing. 🚂🌸💚✨

Empezamos floración día 16/4! Todo perfecto!

There are clearly some minor issues with the tips of some leaves, but we'll manage. A mistake was made during one of the previous waterings; I mixed up the bottles. Instead of the usual watering, it was given full-fledged pro-organic flowering food, and the soil before watering had more than enough food until at least mid-flowering. We're expecting a crazy transformation in the next week; it's rapidly gaining purple hues, so we'll keep an eye on it. There's a war going on in my country, and unfortunately, we're starting to have power problems again as winter approaches. Today, for the first time, the power went out for four hours without warning. I don't have any independent power sources, so there could be major problems; they're predicting long blackouts in the winter. I really hope we'll be able to harvest before the hard times come.

Belle variété mais à du mal à pousser n'est pas très rapide. Mais belle variété

the buds are getting thicker and the odour more intense. it's my first almost buds and i'm really impressed by her performace. she's currently still getting biobizz top-max and she seems to like that and lots of sun. :)

Hallo Freunde 👋 Frost Banger von Fast Buds ist 42 Tage Alt! Sie steht schön in Blüte und baut schön ihre Buds! ✌️🍀💚🍀

The smoke is beautiful! and that is without cure. Flavours of fuel and citrus coming through, hopefully they come out after cure. Buds are solid but not that dense. But trichome covered buds to the point that it was very difficult to trim for more than 5 minutes without cleaning off my scissors. Recommend growing 4 or more of these to get a good amount on hand. very little popcorn buds. will update with weights and smoke after drying and short cure. She was a pleasure to grow! likes the calmag. so frosty and greasy! When it has been a day with high temperatures don't be afraid to feed twice! While packing on the weight she can be very thirsty. If fed well she will reward you with frosty hard nugs! Give this strain a try!

Kind of given up on this one. I had an issue catchung runoff which led to me not watering plants enough Not watering plants to runoff will result in higher substrate Ec(Generative cue and also could burn plants) Also its about 20• outside which does not work for the plantsr dark period. December and january are tough months. I recently learned that i should

Had to leave for quick trip away from home for 4 days she was left alone unfortunately had to leave her under eave of garage too Incase it was gonna pour rain so she didn’t get as much sun as we would have liked. Was happy to see more bud and crystal growth. But unfortunate to find some powder mildew and leaf miners on a good handful of leaves. I ended up just cutting those bad leaves off hoping the pm and leaf miners will stop spreading! She was just watered this morning and looking pretty healthy to me.. thinking 2 - 3 more weeks ..

3 more weeks of veg then gonna throw them all into flower. 🌺 These are definitely coming along nicer than my last widow run.😅 Gonna do a little lollipopping on these this week & a little defoliating in the process. 🍭
