🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 6 | Building Sweet Foundations Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest rewards of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is watching each one reveal her own personality. Some race into flower. Others take their time. Some grow broad, powerful leaves. Others reach for the sky with elegant spacing between every node. Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to prove that she's a lady who likes to do things her own way. Still growing under the 12/12 From Seed method, she has now settled comfortably into early flowering. The explosive stretch is beginning to slow, and all that energy is gradually being redirected toward what matters most now... Building flowers. Every day her structure becomes a little more defined, and every new pistil reminds us that this beautiful lady is only just getting started. ⸻ 🌼 Early Flowers Becoming Real Bud Sites One of the biggest changes this week isn't dramatic at first glance, but it's incredibly exciting once you know what you're looking for. Last week we celebrated the appearance of the first white pistils. This week those tiny flowers have begun gathering together, forming the first recognizable bud sites across the entire plant. The main cola is starting to establish itself, while every branch is producing neat little clusters that will eventually connect into long, resin-coated flowers. It's one of my favourite stages of any grow. Everything is still delicate and full of promise, but you can already begin to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. The blueprint has been drawn. Now the construction begins. ⸻ 🍃 Those Beautiful Giant Leaves If there is one feature that continues stealing the spotlight, it's those incredible fan leaves. They're still enormous. Wide, elegant and working around the clock as natural solar panels, capturing every available photon and converting it into energy for flower production. This week I also noticed some of the older lower leaves becoming a lighter shade of green. I'm not concerned. During the transition into flowering it's common for vigorous plants to increase their nutrient demand while redirecting energy toward rapid growth and bud formation. Rather than chasing perfection, I prefer listening carefully to what the plant is telling me. We'll continue monitoring her closely, making small adjustments only when they're truly needed. Healthy growing is about observation, not overreaction. And overall... This beautiful lady still looks full of life and determination. ⸻ 🌱 AutoPot Doing Its Job Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues thriving in the AutoPot system. By allowing the plant to decide when she drinks, the root zone remains consistently supplied without the repeated wet-and-dry cycles of traditional watering. One of the things I appreciate most about this system is how quietly it does its work. There's no timer deciding when the plant should eat. The plant makes that decision herself. As her flowers continue developing and daily water consumption increases, the AutoPot will simply keep following her rhythm. It's a partnership more than a watering system. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week This week's nutrient program continued supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining enough nutrition for the final stages of the stretch. The feeding schedule included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick when required The focus now shifts gradually away from vegetative growth and toward flower production. As always, changes are made carefully and based on the plant's response rather than following a fixed calendar. Every phenotype speaks a slightly different language. Learning to understand that language is one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for continued flower development. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With the stretch beginning to slow, humidity has started coming down compared to earlier weeks. Lower humidity encourages healthy flower development while maintaining excellent transpiration and reducing future risks as the buds become denser. A stable environment allows the plants to focus their energy where we want it most—building flowers. ⸻ 📸 Watching the Story Unfold This week's photographs capture a plant that is quietly entering a new chapter. The towering fan leaves still dominate the canopy, but now they're sharing the stage with dozens of fresh flower sites emerging from every branch. Looking back through previous weeks makes the transformation even more impressive. What started as a young seedling has become a strong, elegant plant preparing for the busiest weeks of her life. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting every stage. These photos aren't just memories. They're milestones. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowers to become noticeably larger as more pistils emerge and the first signs of stacking begin. The stretch should gradually come to an end, allowing the plant to invest more and more energy into flower production. We'll continue watching the lighter lower leaves, making gentle adjustments if necessary while allowing the rest of the plant to keep doing what she's already doing so well. Sometimes the healthiest gardens aren't the ones where we intervene the most. They're the ones where we learn when to simply observe. Chem Brûlée Pheno A seems determined to remind me of exactly that. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure.

18.04. F8 Flower Day 8 – Defoliation & Lollipopping Today a full cleanup and structural adjustment was carried out. Plants were defoliated and lollipopped to remove lower growth and improve airflow and light penetration. At the same time, branches were trained further to achieve a flat and even canopy. The full 1.2 × 1.2 area is now nearly filled, which should allow for optimal light usage going forward. Timing feels right, as the stretch is still ongoing but structure is now set for the flowering phase. From here on, the focus will be on maintaining the canopy and monitoring development as bud formation progresses. ——————— 22.04. F12 The plants are now transitioning from stretch into early bud development. First flower sites are clearly visible across the entire canopy. HST and training have resulted in a very even structure, with the 1.2 × 1.2 space fully utilized. The Autopot system is running consistently, supporting steady growth without fluctuations. The BioTabs setup continues to perform well, providing a stable organic environment. Plants are healthy, vigorous, and showing no signs of stress. From here on, the focus shifts towards bud development and maintaining optimal environmental conditions. The plants are now transitioning from stretch into early bud development.

Grew great. Got all males. Will try these seeds again next year.

9/19/26 7am Added another 4" Circulating fan to the opposite corner & set to dynamic speed. Added an ACI heater to the system. Replaced the Viparspectra with an ACI EVO 3. Hand watered with 1 gallon plain 6.0/30ppm reservoir water mixed with 1 tbsp house made banana FFJ, 1 tsp each of coconut water powder, aloe powder, Build a Bloom, & 1/2 tsp each quillaja powder & LABS. DLI set to 38 VPD raised to 1.10 Autopot reactivated.

Seems pretty damn happy after week 1 bloom. Put in some decent stretch especially in the middle. Tied all the tallest down today to flatten her back out. Also cleared out a few more fan leaves, mostly under the canopy, to let her breathe. And tightened up my nute measuring with a syringe, sans needle of course, from my b12 doses. Curious to see the results. Till next week.

Week 6 - The Purple Power Is No Longer The Tallest In The Forest But It’s Still The Prettiest. The Purple Power Has Been Dethroned By 4 Of The Other Plants. Everyone Except For The Gorilla Glue Is On Bloom Nutrients. Height: Gorilla Glue: 19 Inches Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies(3gal): 30 inches Lemon OG: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies(5gal): 34 1/2 inches Stardawg: 33 1/2 inches These Plants Are All Correct Measurements Size May Look Different In Picture Because Of Pot Size.

Up to dimmer at 80%

Apple fritter continues to get better and better really developing some nice aroma and sticky as Apple fritter covered in caramel sauce 😂, hopefully swells a bit next few weeks and starts fattening up a bit . Big week next week

Everything is coming along quite nicely. They have slowed down in growth now it is time to fill out. Still feeding fish 3x daily. They have developed a pretty strong smell

Hi guys flip day Sunday 6pm 12 hours lights off starts 🤞😀💚 I will be using a autopot system this grow.

time for a watering update of my top shelf elite genetics autoflower testers of black valium autos and ancient haze autos in this watering I gave them emerald harvest nutrients I used the nutes at half strength of the recommended dose the water was ph. to 5.8 I made 3 gallons and split it between all the plants I did not use all of it just enough to get some run off I took the excess run off out with a turkey baster Cali Pro A and B at 2.5ml per gallon emerald goddess at 3ml per gallon honey chome at 2ml per gallon root wizard at 7.5 per gallon I also gave some Cheshire grin liquid worm castings to only 2 of the 4 autos they got 90ml to the base of the plant these plants are in day #25 from sprout

I’m a week late posting on these as I was a week ahead in the timeframe for this diary because of the new Germination option. We are caught up now day wise anyway, and all is good. Finally got her into the flowering tent and into my 5 gal RDWC system under a 1000w HPS on a light rail mover. We flipped her to flowering as soon as we got her in because my DWC systems tend to grow big ass plants. Lol so I’ve decided to flip without much of my screen full and let the stretch fill it. I will also be hitting them at 1000w rite from the start instead of trying to turn it down and get it closer to save power consumption. I will be starting with the light already up as high as it can be at about 3 ft above the screen. I’ve also shortened the span of my rail mover and set my pauses shorter at about 10 sec. with the light at 1000w we get a better spread out on the light meter and don’t need to move the light as far. I’m also going to keep tucking till they completely stop stretching in an effort to keep them as low as possible. We also had some excessive nitrogen build up a couple weeks ago and dropped the ec way down to 0.2 for the next week. They responded quick and went in the opposite direction very fast and before I new it we had nitrogen deficiency. Lol so we got them sitting around 0.75 EC now and they are coming back around. Well that’s it for this week, Cheers! 💨
