Starting Week 6 folks and the ladies are starting to stack and are getting their diamond jewelry out. They are frosting up nicely on the BBFC. I had a little Nutrient burn this week. I think I was pushing them a little too hard at 1800 ppm. This week on the 23rd I gave them just CAL and MAG with the watering. They are drinking more heavily now, to me it makes sense because they are in mid flower and starting to stack. I also Lolly popped them on the bottoms to get rid of the larf and focus the energy on the top colas. now I just need to nail the feeding PPM and let them put on weight. tune in next week for close up trichomes shots. stay lifted.

Added Yara Kristalon Orange, Yara Calcinit and a little bit of Haifa GrowClean to the reservoir. Adjusted PH/ORP, PH- adds P and ORP adjustment adds K. Light intensity is measured at the hottest spot. The stem is swelling, the netcups are 24/7 soaked due to the pipe being full with roots and increased water levels, next grow I'll go for a bigger pipe. The stem is not getting soft it is actually harder at the splitting part. Flowers are beginning to form more and more, no deficiencies, stretch stopped, EC 1800-2000 seems to be a good range for this strain/pheno in my specific setup. Did some defoliation as needed. Can't increase the light distance anymore, kinda hot for the super stretched branches but great for the rest, the super stretched branches don't show any sign of stress so I take that :) Nothing else to report. Values are average of the day.

I'm disappointed with myself but the genetics are really excellent

Blütewoche 11 - Tag 70–77 Die Luftfeuchtigkeit war diese Woche leider immer noch ziemlich hoch. Vorsichtshalber habe ich nochmal einen verdächtigen Bud entfernt, konnte aber zum Glück keinen Schimmel entdecken. Ansonsten sieht die Utopia mittlerweile erntereif aus! Die Trichome sind überwiegend milchig, teilweise bernsteinfarben. Die Buds sind dick, steinhart, glitzern vor Harz und kleben gaaanz dolle. Dazu ein richtig intensiver, süßlich-frischer Geruch mit einer leicht würzig-erdigen Note.

Day 1 Flower (Day 43) Wooohoooo! First day of flower! I decided to flip both plants after all. The thing is that I will be fully vaccinated against Corona by mid-July, and when that is done, I'm off on vacation. After 1,5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm more than ready to travel again, to see the world, meet new people, and have new experiences. So yeah, this strain is supposed to be a fast flowering strain (45 days!), so mid-July should do it. I switched to the Flower Induction light recipe in my main tent, and I will let that recipe run for some days before I switch over to the regular Flower recipe. The tiny tent has nothing so fancy and was switched to a regular 12/12 schedule. Speaking about lights. That cheap budget light that I bought for my veggies when I moved in my ViparSpectra light into the tiny tent broke down after only two days. So much for trying to save a bit by buying something cheap. I've already sent it back and won't get another light as I think the tomatoes and chilis are ready to move outside. I'll wait and buy this fall instead, but I won't go for the cheapest light I can find then. lol I was foliar feeding the girls with filtered compost tea while they were still sleeping. I only spray when the lights are out to avoid any leaf burns. A few hours later, after the girls woke up, I gave them each around 3 liters of unfiltered pH 6.2 compost tea. I FINALLY remembered to pH the compost tea. Woooooo!!! That was all today. Day 2 Flower (Day 44) Today was a really busy day. I opened the tents, took pics, closed up the tents. Phew! Exhausting. Day 3 Flower (Day 45) Alright, today was a bit more work than yesterday but still fairly relaxed. I watered the girls; the left one got 3 liters, and the right one got 4.5 liters of pH 6.0 water. I noticed a bit of light bleaching on the girl in the small tent, so I turned down the light a bit and increased the distance to the canopy. It is very tight in there, but that is expected with such a small tent. I will need to raise the light more in the future, and I'll probably have to resort to a bit of MacGyver-ism to make it work but that's a problem for a later day. The girl in the main tent has a bit of an uneven canopy where the left side is taller, so I raised the left light as the light level was around 1300 PPFD. I also super-cropped half a dozen branches to slow them down and let the rest of the canopy catch up. It's probably the last training I do before the girls go into flower. Finally, I did a bit of defoliating by removing a few leaves that weren't getting any light low down on the girls. Day 4 Flower (Day 46) Fuck. Disaster struck. I opened the main tent today and found that the CO2 bag had fallen down and broken one of the main branches. That one branch is responsible for about a quarter of the canopy, so losing it would suck. I got busy right away taping the broken branch and used some old chili stalks to support the branch further. I also watered it with around 1.5 liters of pH 6.5 water hoping that it will be beneficial. Now, all I can do is wait and hope for the best. For those of you who have been following this diary, you already know that I dislike this CO2 bag because it smells like shit. Literally. Now though, I really hate this friggin shit bag and its weird hanging contraption that is as shitty as the smell from the bag. Day 5 Flower (Day 47) So far so good. Last night, I checked in on her a couple of hours after I taped the broken branch and the left side of the canopy was already back up with no drooping leaves or branches. YES! However, it was still nerve-wracking to open the tent today but she looked just fine. Fingers crossed that it holds. Naturally, I don't want to disturb her much right now so all I did today was to water her and carefully LST a couple of branches that got messed up yesterday. I gave her 2 liters of pH 6-0 water and 1 liter of water to the girl in the small tent. Speaking of the small tent. There's some light bleaching on the tips of the leaves closest to the light so I turned down the dimmer even further down to 40%. I need to try to raise the light but can only gain another 5-7 cm. The tent is soo tiny lol. Will be interesting to see if she will even fit in there after the stretch is done. I also raised the lights in the main tent as the canopy was getting a bit close. That was it for today. Day 6 Flower (Day 48) Chill day today. All I did today was to water the girls 3 liters each of pH 6.5 water. Day 7 Flower (Day 49) Today was the end of a rather tumultuous first week of flower. It looks like I got lucky, though, and that the branch on the right girl will survive. She is growing strong and loving life. I am hopeful. She is a big girl and drinks a lot, so I'm watering her every day (around 10% of pot volume), and I gave her 3 liters of pH 6.4 water today. The left girl didn't need any, so I just measured both girls, snapped some pics and videos before zipping up both tents. The left girl is 50 cm tall (12 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 77 cm tall (31 cm increase in a week!)

Привет садоводы вегетация продолжается еще 1-2 недели и можно ее переводить на цветение день 42 и я перевел время на цветение

* All good this week, pistils coming out, smells too,humidifier brings down humidity at 45%. * A 1st defoliation-clean up, down side mainly and the next one in 7-10 days on the main canopy. * Gemma crystalize NPK every 7-10 days. * 💧 Crucial to Keep moisture in soil cause Gemma crystalize nuts are too strong, if soil drys we have to water with tap water before feeding. All the others products are in every watering. 🍼 1000ppm when feeding nuts. ☆ Photos are right after defol and lst under net.

Auch diese Woche verlief wieder recht entspannt. Die Pflanze weist momentan keine Mängel- oder Stresserscheinungen auf. Die ersten Tage der Woche durfte sie sich noch von den vorangegangenen Entlaubungen und dem neuen LST erholen. An Tag 46 lagen die Triebspitzen einheitlich bei einer Höhe von 19-20cm und die Beleuchtung wurde auf 12/12 umgestellt. Tag 47 war dann der erste komplette Tag mit dem neuen Lichtzyklus und zählt ab hier der Einfachheit halber als BT1, auch wenn ich diese Woche hier noch als Wachstumswoche eintrage. Das ist mein erster Grow mit dieser Genetik, aber ich hoffe auf einen Stretch von ungefähr 150%. Zum Ende der Woche lagen die acht Haupttriebe nach nur leichten LST-Korrekturen relativ gleichmäßig bei etwa 22 cm. Der Stretch scheint damit langsam einzusetzen, die Struktur bleibt bisher aber noch sehr homogen. Das sie vor allem mit der Umstellung des Lichtzyklus anfing ziemlich durstig zu werden, wurde diese Woche insgesamt 3 mal gegossen. Dabei habe ich begonnen, das Düngeschema langsam in Richtung Blütephase zu verschieben. Hierzu wird sukzessive der Fish-Mix durch Bio Grow ersetzt und zusätzlich kommen CalMag, Bio-Bloom und Top-Max hinzu. 1. Gießvorgang: Tag 43, insgesamt ~3,2 Liter (1.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.4ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.29g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.3, EC-Wert ~1.7mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5.1kg, nachher ca. 7.4kg) 2. Gießvorgang: Tag 46, insgesamt ~3,3 Liter (1ml/l Fish-Mix, 1.5ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.81ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.5, EC-Wert ~1.7mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5kg, nachher ca. 7.4kg) 3. Gießvorgang: Tag 49, insgesamt ~4 Liter (1ml/l Fish-Mix, 1.5ml/l Bio-Grow, 1ml/l Bio-Bloom, 1ml/l Top-Max, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, 0.81ml/l CalMag, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.3, EC-Wert ~1.75mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 4.7kg, nachher ca. 7.2kg) Der Abstand zur Lampe wurde diese Woche weiterhin bei ungefähr 40cm und die Lichtleistung bei etwa 600PPFD gehalten. Mit der Qualität der Webcamaufnahmen bin ich zunehmend unzufrieden und werde diese eventuell in den nächsten Tagen durch ein etwas neueres Modell ersetzen.

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A ❄️ Still Green, Still Frosty, And Slowly Entering Her Final Chapter Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Chem Brûlée Pheno A. Still doing her thing. Still shining. Still growing. Still flowering. And honestly? She's becoming one of those plants where I don't really need to invent a story for her. She has her own story. 😂🍮💚 She's not the biggest plant in the room. She's not the smallest. She's not necessarily the most spectacular-looking girl in the tent. She's not the ugliest either. She's simply... a beautiful, normal, healthy-looking plant doing exactly what her genetics have decided to do. And I actually really like that. Because not every plant needs to be the superstar. Sometimes it's just about appreciating the individual expression standing in front of you. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has absolutely earned her spotlight. So... let's give it to her. ❄️🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 12 – The Beginning Of The Final Chapter We're now getting deeper into flowering. And this is where things start becoming particularly interesting. The plant is no longer building the same way she was earlier in the cycle. The structure is already established. The flowers are there. The leaves are there. The plant has spent weeks building herself. Now we're watching those flowers mature. And that's a very different process from simply watching a plant grow taller. At this point, subtle changes become much more important. The flowers change. The pistils change. The resin becomes more apparent. The plant's overall colour can begin to evolve. And eventually, the foliage begins telling us that the plant is moving toward the end of her journey. Chem Brûlée isn't finished. Not yet. But she's definitely beginning to show us that she's entering the later chapters. And that's exactly what I want to document. ──────────────────────── 💚 Still Green – And That's Okay One thing I really like about her right now is that she's still carrying plenty of green. Very green. Healthy-looking. Functional. Beautiful. And I think this is worth talking about because sometimes growers see a plant changing colours late in flower and immediately assume something is wrong. And sometimes... it's simply the plant progressing. The important thing is context. A plant doesn't suddenly become unhealthy because some leaves eventually begin changing colour. At the same time, colour changes shouldn't automatically be ignored either. You have to look at the whole plant. Are the flowers developing? Is the foliage generally healthy? Is the plant continuing its normal progression? Are the changes gradual or sudden? Are there other signs suggesting an actual problem? Those questions matter much more than simply: "Green = good." "Yellow = bad." Plants are more complicated than that. 😂🌿 And Chem Brûlée is still looking very much like a plant that has plenty of working green tissue supporting her final flowering development. ──────────────────────── 🌸 What's Happening With The Hairs? One of the easiest things to notice as flowering progresses is the changing colour of the pistils. Earlier in flower, many of those little hairs are bright white. Fresh. New. Standing proudly away from the developing flowers. As the flowers mature, those pistils naturally begin changing. Some start turning cream. Some become yellowish. Others move toward orange, amber or darker tones. They can curl inward. They can become less prominent. And gradually, the flowers start looking more mature. That's exactly the kind of progression we're beginning to see here. And this is another reason I love documenting the same plant week after week. If you only saw her today, you'd simply see: "Beautiful flowering plant." But because we've photographed her throughout the journey... we can actually see the transition. The fresh white pistils from earlier weeks. The developing flowers. The increasing frost. And now... the gradual change in colour and structure. It's the plant moving through her natural timeline. ──────────────────────── ❄️ But Don't Use Pistil Colour Alone And here's an important point. Pistil colour by itself isn't a perfect indicator of maturity. Those hairs can change for different reasons. They can be affected by natural flower development. They can curl and darken as the flowers mature. They can also be damaged or physically disturbed. So I'm not looking at one orange hair and saying: "That's it! We're done!" 😂 No. We're looking at the entire plant. The flowers. The resin. The overall development. The foliage. The progression over time. The plant is the complete picture. One little hair is only one pixel. And we've got the whole photograph to look at. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Bud Formation Is Changing Too And this is probably the part I'm enjoying the most right now. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. What started as individual flowering sites has developed into recognizable, substantial flower structures. Now we're watching those structures mature. The flowers are becoming more established. The pistils are changing. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the overall appearance is beginning to move from: "developing flowers" toward: "maturing flowers." That's a beautiful transition to watch. And Chem Brûlée is doing it in her own particular way. She's not trying to produce the biggest flowers in the room. She's not trying to outdo every other phenotype. She's simply building what she is capable of building. And honestly? That's exactly what I wanted from this experiment. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Still Doing The Talking If there's one thing this girl continues to do exceptionally well... it's shine under the camera. 😂📸❄️ The frost is beautiful. The closer you get to those flowers, the more obvious the resin becomes. The sugar leaves are carrying their own little layer of sparkle. The flowers are becoming increasingly textured. And this is where Chem Brûlée starts becoming much more interesting than a simple full-plant photograph can show. From a distance? A normal beautiful plant. Move closer? Oh... there she is. 😂❄️ The macro world tells another story. And I absolutely love that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Leaves Are Changing Too – But Slowly The foliage is also beginning to tell us that we're getting deeper into the cycle. But again... we're not seeing some dramatic overnight transformation. And that's exactly how I like it. Plants don't necessarily go from: "Perfectly green" to "Finished" in one afternoon. The transition can be gradual. Some older leaves may begin changing colour. Some may fade more than others. Some areas remain green longer. And that's normal variation within a living plant. Meanwhile, the healthy green foliage that's still functioning continues doing its job. Capturing light. Supporting photosynthesis. Supporting the plant. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing the plant to fade simply because we're approaching the end. We're observing. We're allowing the plant to tell us where she is. And Chem Brûlée is telling us: "Not finished yet." 😂🍮🌿 Message received. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ And This Is Why We're Starting To Reduce The Base Now we come to another important change this week. We're beginning to reduce the base flowering nutrition. The Terra Bloom base has now come down from: 2.3 ml/L to: 🌸 2.0 ml/L And the EC has followed that reduction. We're now sitting around: ⚡ EC — 2.05 mS/cm This is a change I'm making gradually. And there's a reason for that. I personally don't like working with mineral nutrition by going from: "Full programme" to "Absolutely nothing" overnight. 😂 That's simply not how I prefer to transition these plants. We're approaching the final few weeks, so instead of slamming the brakes on immediately, I'm beginning to reduce the base gradually. A little less. Observe. A little less when the plant tells us it's appropriate. Observe again. It's a progression rather than a cliff. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why Reduce Gradually? For me, this is about transitioning the plant rather than pretending there is a magic switch called: "FINISH." 😂 There isn't. The plant doesn't wake up one morning and receive a notification saying: "Congratulations! You have entered Final Week Mode." 🌸📱😂 The plant is still alive. Still functioning. Still developing. Still using resources. So I prefer a gradual transition as we approach the end. We're reducing the mineral base rather than suddenly cutting everything to zero. That gives us a little more control over the transition and allows us to continue observing how the plant responds. And that's important. Because every phenotype can move through this stage slightly differently. Chem Brûlée is telling us she's getting closer. She's not telling us she's finished. So we're listening. ──────────────────────── 💧 The Plant Still Gets The Final Vote This remains one of the most important principles of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can have a schedule. We can have a feeding chart. We can have numbers. We can have expectations. But the plant gets the final vote. Chem Brûlée is showing: 🌸 Matured flower development ❄️ Increasing resin ? Changing pistil colour 🌿 Gradual foliage changes 💚 Plenty of healthy green still present That's information. And we respond to the information. Not simply to the calendar. That's the difference between following a schedule blindly and actually observing the plant. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Photon Experiment Continues The lighting environment remains the same as the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the setup. We're controlling them at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing around: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Again... that's the upper canopy. The plant is three-dimensional. Different flowers sit at different heights. Different leaves receive different amounts of direct light. And the deeper parts of the plant naturally experience a different light environment. That's exactly what we're observing. More lighting capability. Controlled output. Strong photons. And twelve different plants deciding what to do with them. Chem Brûlée is making her answer increasingly visible. ──────────────────────── 💚 More Light Doesn't Change Who She Is This is something I really love about the 8×8 experiment. We changed the lighting capability. We increased the available photons. We adjusted the output. And yet... Chem Brûlée is still Chem Brûlée. 😂 Her genetics still determine her structure. Her flower formation. Her proportions. Her pace. Her personality. The environment gives her opportunities. Her genetics decide how she interprets those opportunities. And that's why I keep coming back to the phrase: Same room. Different answer. That's the whole experiment. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Final Weeks Are About Watching As we approach the final part of the flowering journey, my role becomes increasingly observational. We're not trying to rebuild her. We're not trying to change her architecture. We're not trying to make her become another phenotype. We're watching. Looking at the flowers. Looking at the resin. Looking at the pistils. Looking at the foliage. Watching the colour transition. Watching the overall plant. And making small adjustments when the plant tells us they make sense. That's it. The heavy lifting was earlier. Now the plant is writing the final pages. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Is Capturing The Transition And this is where the photographs become particularly valuable. Because colour changes can be subtle. A pistil today might look almost identical to the pistil last week. But put the photographs side by side... and suddenly: There it is. The flowers have matured. The pistils have changed. The structure has become more substantial. The resin has increased. The plant is moving. That's why these individual diaries matter. We're not just creating a gallery. We're creating a timeline. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has given us a beautiful timeline to follow. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Room – Different Finish Lines This is becoming especially interesting now. The twelve girls are sharing the same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same overall nutrition strategy. And yet... they are not all reaching the same stage at the same speed. Some are moving faster. Some are slower. Some have more white pistils. Some have more coloured pistils. Some are changing foliage earlier. Some are staying very green. Some flowers are denser. Some structures are more open. And that's not a problem. That's the experiment. The genetics are giving us twelve different timelines. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is writing hers. ──────────────────────── 🍮 She's Not The Star Of The Room... And that's okay. I said it last week and I'll say it again. She's not necessarily the prettiest girl in the room. She's not the ugliest either. She's just... beautiful. Normal. Balanced. Individual. And I think there's something really nice about that. Because when you grow enough plants, you start realizing that beauty isn't always about having the biggest flowers or the most spectacular structure. Sometimes it's simply the plant's character. And Chem Brûlée has character. She has her own look. Her own flowering style. Her own rhythm. And now she's entering the final part of her journey. That's worth celebrating. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The 8×8 Lesson Continues If this project has taught me anything, it's that the plants don't read the same script. 😂 We can provide the same environment. The same equipment. The same care. The same room. And they'll still do completely different things. That's exactly why I'm enjoying the final weeks so much. Now we're seeing those differences become even more obvious. The way they mature. The way their flowers develop. The way their pistils change. The way their foliage ages. The way each phenotype approaches the end. That's where the real personality starts showing. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's starting to whisper: "Okay... we're getting there." 😂🍮 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The room continues running under the current 8×8 setup. The latest base adjustment has brought the EC slightly lower: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: approximately 26.5–27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: approximately 25–26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: around 60–61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: around 25–26°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: around 25°C • ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 • ⚡ EC: approximately 2.05 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: around 1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h • 🌱 Pot Size: 15 L • 💡 Upper Canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD • 🔌 Future of Grow fixtures: approximately 59% power from the plug The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. And the plants continue moving at their individual rhythms. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead – The Finish Is Getting Closer We're entering that interesting period where the end is no longer some distant idea. It's starting to become visible. Chem Brûlée still has development ahead of her. But the changes are becoming increasingly obvious. The pistils are changing. The flowers are maturing. The resin is becoming more pronounced. The foliage is slowly beginning to tell a different story. And now we're beginning to reduce the base nutrition gradually. Not because we're declaring: "That's it." But because we're approaching the final part of the journey. And I want to transition into that stage gradually. No sudden cliff. No dramatic switch. Just another little step in the story. ──────────────────────── ❤️ Final Thoughts – Still Shining Week 12. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is still doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Flowering. Developing. Shining. And slowly... maturing. She's not the most spectacular plant in the room. She's not the least spectacular either. She's simply Chem Brûlée Pheno A. And that's enough. The flowers are becoming more mature. The pistils are beginning to change colour. The resin is becoming increasingly obvious. The foliage is still carrying plenty of beautiful green. And now we're beginning to make the first small reduction in the mineral base. Terra Bloom: 2.3 ml/L ➡️ 2.0 ml/L EC: ~2.14 ➡️ ~2.05 mS/cm Nothing dramatic. Just a gradual transition. Because I don't like going from everything to nothing overnight. I prefer to listen. Reduce. Observe. And allow the plant to tell me how she's progressing. That's the way I like to approach these final weeks. And Chem Brûlée? She's talking. 😂🍮🌸 She's saying: "I'm getting there." So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep giving her the environment she needs. And let's see how this beautiful, completely individual phenotype writes the final pages of her story. 🍮❄️🌸💚 Let her shine. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brûlée genetics and follow this individual phenotype through the entire 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey and providing the nutritional foundation behind this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that we've been testing in this room. The additional lighting has given us more capability, more control and another fascinating variable to observe across these twelve different plants. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to think about lighting as a three-dimensional environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week we get a little closer. Every week the girls become a little more themselves. And now we're entering one of the most interesting parts of the entire journey. The final development. The changing colours. The maturing flowers. The increasing resin. The gradual transition. And the moment when each phenotype finally tells us: "This is who I became." Chem Brûlée Pheno A isn't there yet. But she's getting closer. She's still green. She's still beautiful. She's still building. And she's still shining. 🍮❄️🌸💚 So we'll keep doing what we do. Observe. Document. Provide. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant write the story. Because the best part of this entire adventure has always been discovering what happens when we stop trying to make the plants behave the same... and simply let them show us who they are. Until next week... Keep shining, Chem Brûlée. We're watching. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚🍮❄️ See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥

Всем привет друзья. Сегодня последний раз пролил, готовлю к харву. Кустик стал очень ароматно пахнуть и шишки очень липкие. Я думаю пару дней и под нож! Всем мира и добра!

She's Flowering really Fast ? 🤯

Hi everyone :-) This week the ladies stretched out again while the flower production started. They all look very healthy and beautiful 😍. I am very excited to see what genetics does this week, as I only know it on Earth so far :-). I wish you all a nice weekend and let it grow 👍😎

Decided after seeing the improvement in the Tangerine Dream to continue with the new feeding schedule, which will include a flush in a few days. She got pretty burnt from the salt based nutes, but her flowers have thickened up considerable over the last few days so I will try to get as much out of her as possible. NCH x SB trichomes are finally beginning to fill out with milk, and several sugar leaves have already gone 30% amber. One more week of flushing and I think I’ll chop her down. Feed pH 6.5, EC 0.9. Flush pH 6.2, EC 0.3.

The bushes are shooting up fast — the fan leaves, palm-sized by now, are already poking into the light. LED is not HPS lamp, good for me :) I'm training the branches daily with soft wire ties from the garden shop — cheap as chips. Watering with RO water, pH dialled in. A 15-litre reservoir makes it easy to manage PPM and pH, and the air stone keeps the solution well-oxygenated — roots love it. 3 weeks in without Simplex Coco base. A couple of days ago the stems started showing a slight red tint. Figured I probably didn't mix enough nutrients into the top layer: I went with 3 grams per litre of substrate — 9 litres of Simplex coco brick and 3 scoops of nutes, carefully blended. Was worried about overdoing it. Still, even at the minimum dose I got minor burn on the lower leaves. The substrate had been pre-soaked with Simplex Coco base — should've flushed it for a couple of days first with a CalMag solution and pH 5.6–6.3. Three weeks later I top-dressed with another half scoop (5 g) per pot. For a long-flowering sativa that's pretty standard practice — topdressing every 2–3 weeks works well. Overall, Bio Feeding is a really straightforward option — accessible and easy to follow even for a beginner like me. Can't wait to taste the end result: never grown bio before, only mineral nutrients.
