One more week is now finished, let's have a look as what happened during this last 7 days and nights Used the weekend to make a nice cleaning again - I like to take all from the tent and clean on Sundays. Gives a good feeling. The plant is still full flowering, finally some yellowing and browning pistils. The color of the bud is gorgeous. Flush has started officially, 2l water every second day for a week, and then probably should be ready a few days after. It's a great smell coming from this plant, so sweet. Is amazing! Temps and RH are very stable, which is great. 27c day 60%Rh 24c night ~70%RH That's all for now, next week there'll be more. Have a nice week, happy grows to all, and better smoke :D

Nice week of growth. The girls are about 13 inches on average, D and L are taller. Betty definitely seems like a sativa pheno compared to her sisters. I found some brown algae in my tubs, I did some research and discovered I needed to cover my net pots to eliminate light pollution getting into the tubs. There were only a couple of small spots, I was able to remove it by hand. I slapped some foil on the tubs and made sure each lid was completely sealed. PH has been holding pretty steady and I haven't seen much drift at all. Towards the end of the week it struck me that the stretch is coming. I did some rough calculations on my current height and max height ill be able to have and I feel I should flip to flower by the end of the week when I swap new water in. Another week of veg and a stretch may be too tall with my lights. So I changed the water late on day 42, pulled some fan leaves and adjusted my light timer so when they went out in the morning they'll be off for 12 hours. I've left the MH bulb in for the flip to help control the stretch this first week. I read you can leave it for the first 2 to 3 weeks but depending how this upcoming week of stretch goes I may pop in the HPS during early week 2 of flower to get a little extra height if I think I need it. Was not ready to take clones, I may try to pull some on day 47 coming up, just a busy time of year.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 8 | Same Genetics, Different Expression Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you've been following this phenotype hunt, you've probably already noticed something fascinating about Cash Express. There are two sisters in this room. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation system. Same nutrient solution. And yet... They are becoming two very different plants. That is exactly why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. Genetics don't produce copies. They produce possibilities. Cash Express Pheno B continues moving beautifully through flowering, and this week she's showing even more clearly what makes her different from her sister. She's a little taller. Her branching is different. And most importantly, her flowers are developing with a completely different structure. And I absolutely love it. 🌿 Same Genetics... Different Personality When you place Pheno A and Pheno B beside each other, the differences become much easier to appreciate. Pheno A has developed into a smaller, more compact and almost perfectly symmetrical plant. Pheno B chose a different path. She's taller, more elongated and more open through the canopy. Her flowering sites have developed along the branches in a different pattern, giving the plant a completely different visual character. Neither one is better. Neither one is worse. They're simply different expressions of the same genetic family. And this is exactly what a phenotype hunt is supposed to reveal. You can grow two plants from the same genetics, give them the same treatment from beginning to end, and still end up with two ladies that look, smell and develop differently. That's the beauty of genetics. 🌸 The White Hairs Are Taking Over Flower development has really started becoming the main event this week. The white pistils are everywhere. Every flowering site seems to be reaching outward, creating those beautiful little explosions of white hairs that make the plant look almost alive in motion. The flowers are also becoming much easier to define. We're moving beyond the stage where they simply looked like little flowering points. Now they're beginning to look like actual developing flowers. And this is where patience becomes important. There's still a lot of development ahead. The pistils are abundant, but the flowers themselves still have plenty of time to build density and volume. So while she is already looking impressive... We're nowhere near the final product yet. Two Phenotypes, Two Flower Structures This is probably one of my favourite observations this week. When I look at Pheno A and Pheno B, the difference isn't just plant height. Their flowers themselves are developing differently. Pheno B is creating a more elongated, layered structure along the branches, while Pheno A has been showing a more compact and chunky architecture. It's subtle now. But as flowering progresses, these differences should become even more pronounced. And this is one of those moments where I don't want to interfere too much. I don't want to force one phenotype to behave like the other. I want to see what Pheno B wants to become. That's the whole point. Let the genetics speak. ? Healthy, Happy and Hungry One thing is very clear when looking at this girl: She's hungry. We've increased the nutrient concentration slightly again this week. Yes, we're now running above what the basic feeding chart would normally suggest. But plants don't read feeding charts. They respond to their environment, their root systems, their metabolism and their genetic demands. And these girls have been demanding more. So we're providing more — while watching them closely. This isn't about blindly pushing nutrients higher. It's about observing the plant and responding to what she's actually showing us. And Pheno B is giving us some very good feedback. The foliage remains healthy. The flowers continue developing strongly. The plant is actively producing. And there are no obvious signs that she's unhappy with the increased concentration. So for now, we're listening. 🍃 The Leaves Tell the Story One of the things I really appreciate about this phenotype is how healthy her foliage continues to look. The leaves are deep green, well formed and beautifully structured. There's a lot of life in this plant. When you combine that healthy canopy with the amount of flowering activity we're seeing, it's difficult not to call this girl a little lush. She's simply thriving. And that's an important distinction. We're seeing plenty of flowering activity without the plant looking exhausted or unhappy. She's still carrying herself with confidence. Still producing new pistils. Still building. Still hungry. That's exactly where I want her at this stage. About Those Purple Stems... Now let's talk about something that's visible. Because if it's there, I think it's worth documenting. There is some purplish coloration appearing through portions of the stems and petioles. It's definitely present. But at this point, I'm not seeing a reason to panic about it. Why? Because the plant doesn't look distressed. The leaves look healthy. The flowering sites are developing. The pistils are coming in strongly. There's no obvious widespread deterioration accompanying the coloration. And most importantly, the plant is behaving like a happy plant. Stem and petiole coloration can have several causes, including genetics and environmental influences, so I'm not going to automatically label it as a deficiency simply because I can see purple. For now, it's something we're observing. It's part of her phenotype. If the coloration progresses together with other symptoms, then it becomes a different conversation. But right now? It's there. We're documenting it. We're watching it. And we're not going to invent a problem that the plant isn't showing us. That's an important part of reading plants. 👃 The Terpene Story Is Beginning The smell is also starting to become more interesting. At this stage, we're still relatively early in the development of the full aromatic profile. So I'm not going to pretend that we're already smelling the finished Cash Express. We're not. Right now, the overall aroma remains fairly typical for this stage of flowering, and there are still similarities across the room. But... If you spend enough time around twelve different plants every day, you start noticing little differences. And that's what I'm beginning to notice now. The plants are slowly separating themselves aromatically. Pheno A and Pheno B currently seem to share a similar general terpene direction. They're not identical, but there is a recognizable family resemblance. And I'm very curious to see whether that similarity remains as the flowers mature. Because sometimes the differences become much more obvious later in flowering. For now, I'm simply enjoying the first hints. 💡 Above and Below The combination of the overhead Future of Grow Black Series LED and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting continues giving this girl plenty of light throughout her structure. Her naturally more open architecture works beautifully with this setup. The flowers aren't packed into one giant wall of foliage. There's space between the branches. There's airflow. There's light penetration. And the lower flowering sites aren't completely forgotten. It's another interesting contrast with Pheno A, whose more compact structure creates a very different light distribution. Same room. Same lights. Different architecture. And once again, the plant itself changes the equation. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a remarkably consistent environment for all twelve phenotypes. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Water consumption: approximately 1.3 L/24h Once again, consistency remains one of the biggest advantages of this experiment. With twelve different cultivars sharing the same environment, the plants themselves become the variables we're watching. And Cash Express Pheno B is definitely writing her own chapter. 🌱 Feeding This week we made another small increase to the nutrient concentration. The current reservoir is running: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required. The important part here isn't simply the numbers. It's the response. These girls are demanding. They're actively flowering, they're consuming, and they're telling us that they're capable of using more. So we're providing it. But we're also watching. No blind chasing of numbers. No feeding harder simply because we can. Observe → respond → observe again. That's the philosophy. 📸 Behind the Lens This phenotype is becoming a photographer's dream. The photographs this week really show the differences between the sisters. Her flowers have their own architecture. Her leaves frame the flowers differently. Her taller structure creates different perspectives throughout the plant. And those white pistils... They're absolutely everywhere. Some of the close-ups almost look like little fireworks exploding from the tops of the flowers. The resin coverage is also becoming increasingly visible on the sugar leaves, giving us those beautiful sparkling edges that become so addictive to photograph. And I have to say... This girl is beautiful. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the fastest. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. She's beautiful because she's becoming exactly what she is supposed to become. 🔍 Quick Recap So where are we now? 🚂 Cash Express Pheno B is thriving. 🌿 She's taller and more open than her sister. 🌸 Flower formation is clearly different from Pheno A. ? White pistils are multiplying rapidly across the canopy. 🍃 Foliage remains healthy and vigorous. The phenotype is becoming increasingly recognizable. 👃 The terpene profile is beginning to show itself, although it's still early. 💜 Some purple coloration is visible in stems and petioles, but currently without accompanying signs of significant plant stress. 🌱 She's hungry, so we've increased nutrition slightly again. And most importantly... She's happy. 🔮 What I Expect Next Week Next week, I expect the flowers to become more substantial. The pistils will probably continue appearing in large numbers, while the actual flower mass slowly catches up with all that beautiful white hair. I expect the structure of Pheno B to become even easier to distinguish from Pheno A. The terpene profile may also start becoming more interesting as the flowers mature. And I'm especially curious about the purple coloration. Not because I'm worried about it... But because I want to see whether it remains part of her natural expression or becomes more pronounced as flowering progresses. What I DON'T expect: I don't expect these flowers to suddenly look finished. I don't expect the final terpene profile to be completely obvious yet. And I certainly don't expect Pheno B to suddenly start looking like her sister. She's already told us that's not who she is. And I wouldn't want it any other way. 🌱 The Beauty of a Phenotype Hunt This is probably the biggest lesson this week. When you're growing twelve different cultivars together, it's very easy to look at differences and immediately ask: "Which one is better?" But that's not really the right question. The better question is: "What makes this one different?" Pheno A has her own personality. Pheno B has hers. And both are fascinating. The goal isn't to make them identical. The goal is to discover what each one carries within its genetics. That's what makes this 8×8 Adventure so much fun. We're not just growing plants. We're watching twelve different genetic stories unfold under the same conditions. And Cash Express Pheno B is writing a particularly beautiful chapter right now. 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for creating a place where growers from around the world can document, compare, learn and share these journeys together. Thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore how differently these phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting this entire journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting driving the plants throughout the cycle. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light to those lower flowering sites. And thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system that continues allowing the plants to manage their own water demand. And finally... Thank you to every single person following along. Every comment. Every message. Every question. Every person who simply stops for a moment to look at these plants. It means a lot. This project is about more than chasing numbers or comparing yields. It's about watching nature express itself. And this week, Cash Express Pheno B is reminding us once again that same genetics doesn't mean same plant. She's taller than her sister. She's built differently. She's flowering differently. She's beginning to reveal her own aromatic personality. And she's absolutely beautiful doing it. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno B continues writing her own story in the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🚂🌱 PS- we did defoliate a few leafs here and there

Starting to give off a mad smell filling out nicely two

Ya tenemos la séptima semana de floración de esta niña bonita (PurpleKush) de Kannabiaseeds. En esta semana solo le estamos echando agua bajada de ph,ya que en nada cortamos y no queremos que nuestras flores huelan y sepan a líquidos 😜

Very Nice looking and good Smelling Plant. Buds after Trim are medium dense but very tasty. Flavourwise it goes into ripe Berrys with a hint of Citrus and Soapyness in the background. The Plant looks exactly like on the pictures High-Giraffe-Seeds shows on their website. All in all definetly a recommendable Plant to grow.

Lots of growth this week. Have started LST.

📆 Semana 12 Las flores continúan en su fase final de maduración, ganando densidad y terminando de desarrollar su producción de resina. Los pistilos siguen oscureciéndose y retrayéndose progresivamente, mientras los cogollos presentan un aspecto cada vez más compacto y maduro. Entrando ya en la recta final, cambio la nutrición habitual por Master Piece, comenzando la fase de lavado de raíces y preparando las plantas para la cosecha. Mantengo unas condiciones estables para que puedan completar tranquilamente su maduración durante estos últimos días. 💧 Master Piece: fase de lavado de raíces 💧 pH: 6.2–6.4 🌡️ Agua: 19–21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 40–45% 💡 Luz: PPFD 900–1000 🔥 Nota: Última etapa antes de la cosecha. A partir de ahora, el objetivo es acompañar la planta durante su maduración final y dejar que las flores terminen de expresar todo su potencial antes del corte. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Outside right now untill there is room in the tent Day 15: Looks good 👍🏻 watered with rain water 👌🏻 keeping the soil moist 🌧️ Day 18: looking good and watered 🌊. Watered with rain water and 1 ml/l Hesi Boost, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. EC at 1.0 and a pH of 6.4 . Day 21: looking good and watered again. She's starting to flower ?, need to move her to a bigger pot. Watered with rain water and 1ml/l Powerzyme, 1 ml/l Hesi Boost, 1 ml/l Cal Mag, 1 ml/l Bloom Complex and 1 ml/l Green Sensation. EC at 1.0 and a pH of 6.4.

Week 6 going strong - no slowing these plants down. Smell is pretty intense - even with 6 inch fan and carbon filter my entire house smells dank 😎😎😎

Week 11 - The buds are stretching and getting bigger. She is huge did not expect that and I was not prepare which can cost me in yield/quality but will see.

Swapped blue for the red CFL. Adding 1ml bloom per litre. Few tips are yellow think its having the light too close but only time will tell. All 3 plants have entered flowering stage. Due to the small grow space the plant that is directly under the LED is growing at a faster rate compared to the plant that's under the CFL

She is growing strong and healthy.

Natural gardening can be tough but is well worth it in the end y'all, keeping steady and everybody stay safe and take care of each other

She’s still a one floor house between skyscrapers but probably she will become bigger one day 😛
