Well, what can I say... Opium has done much more then our Montreal and we are pleased, they are strong girls to say the least. The Montreal will be a much enjoyed joint and hopefully doesn’t break the scale!

Day 37 06/08/24 Tuesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with calmag only. Pre flower stretch initiated, pre flower female sex pistils forming 😍 She is shown in video next to her stunted sister, she is in with my other diary 2L GreenHouse Run. Day 39 08/08/24 Thursday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with Plagron PK13-14. Showing her pre stretch 😍 Day 41 10/08/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today again with calmag. 400ml with run off now. Day 42 11/08/24 Sunday End of week De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today again with calmag. 400ml with little run off this time Pistils on pistils now 😁 Starting to see the beginning of bud formations 💚

Budsites have fattened up beautifully she’s growing fast and is loving the nutrients at the minute can’t get enough !

Hi everyone 🤗 This week it looked more and more astonishing after opening the box a wonderful sweet smell wafts through the room 👍. A few days ago the Blue Cheese Phenotype 1 was harvested and placed in the dark room :-). This week both Kosher Tangie Kush phenotypes will be harvested 👍. Next week the Blue Cheese phenotypes 1 and 2 will be harvested ;-) everyone else needs a while 😀. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱👍

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend and staying safe. Another great week for the ladies, as they are now about 2 weeks into flower, and the stretch is winding down. I am still feeding them silica, cal mag, and flower nutrients maxi bloom by GHE. I will start to add a PK booster this week. I also will be switching to light from V1 to F1 sometime this week, and also integrating the UV/IR bar into the light cycle later this week. I will run the UV/IR bar for approximately 30 minutes prior to lights off to get started. The 5X5 is really starting to fill up nicely, I am running two dehumidifiers outside of the tent and I am able to maintain around 50% RH in the tent during lights on, and around 55% RH with lights off. Still very happy with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 90% in the V1 cycle and will be transitioning to the F1 cycle later this week. Overall, the plants seem very happy and healthy. The temperature and humidity is significantly dropping so that helps keeping the tent cool and not overly humid. This is by far the best time of year to be flowering plants in my region. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

02/07/2026 A new week and the last week of veg. The stretch is just around the corner. So before hand, I did a tiny bit of trimming. Just the main stem fan leaves and a couple lower hanging leaves. I also took the lowest branch off. It wasn't gonna make it anyway. She's still super full, but has plenty of open space for air flow. I'll be increasing the light intensity at some point this week. However if she starts to stretch like I expect, I shouldn't need to increase the power much. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the canopy. Currently she's short enough. So all the light is reaching. But when the stretch starts, I'll need a deeper penetrating light source. Mine. Turned up. I'll also be changing the nutrients out at some point this week. I'm pretty sure we start transitioning from grow nutes to bloom nutes. Adding in some bud ignitor, bud factor x and big bud in small doses. I'm just waiting for the bud ignitor to come in. It's absolutely frigid outside today, so the environment in the tent is off. The humidity is fine, but the temp is low. And I already overheated one heater. Hopefully the other one gets the tent back up to snuff. Once that happens, the devices will level off finally and run at low settings if at all. We just gotta get there. As for her looks, she looks full and vibrant. Beautiful green color. Super strong branches standing straight up. S couple of them are starting to spread out now, but the majority of them are standing up close to the main stem. They are too thick to use the bud clips and I don't have tie downs, so it's all natural for her. Maybe a little push down on the top just to get the lower branches pumping. 02/08/2026 Looking good today. She is really starting to look like a little fat Christmas tree. Still no training though. The branches are long enough, but too thick. So I'm still waiting for the stretch to start. Although, I'm pretty sure it started already. Maybe. It could be a couple more days. The water is low. I was thinking about topping it off, but I'm changing it tomorrow when my bud ignitor gets here. I think that's what I'm gonna do. Either way, I'm waiting for tomorrow. She might need a gallon or so if I were to top her off. I'm not sure now. Maybe I should top off. I will say that she is hungry. She's sucking up all the nutes in the water. She'll be fine. When I swap the water out, I'll make sure to give her enough food. However, I don't really know what she needs for nutes. Maybe 550 ppm? She's drained the nutes down below 300 ppm from 450 ppm or something like that. At least she's not overfed this time. The fucking environment. No matter what I do, it just stays fucked up. There pardon the language, but it's definitely needed. So I set the humidity ton55% now it's stuck at 52%. Where yesterday it was at 57% with no problems. I don't get it. And the temp is just low. AGAIN! It was 75° yesterday. WTF. 02/09/2026 I still haven't decided what to do about the water change. I'm definitely doing it today, but I'm still waiting for a nutrient to show up. I can't decide if I want to stay with the current feed or start the transition from grow to bloom. I think I'm going to start the bloom nutrients. Just at a really low dose. So I'll be adding big bud, bud factor x and bud ignitor. We'll be keeping the voodoo juice, Tarantula and Piranha out for the rest of the run. She looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful vibrant green, thick branches and side branching coming out everywhere. She's definitely gonna be a bushy one and I'll need to defoliate a good amount. That's ok. She's healthy enough to take a pretty good hair cut. But I won't be doing so until after the stretch. I moved the humidifier around and put a hose it came with on it. So now the humidity is put in above the canopy. Hopefully it keeps the humidity in check and not constantly running. The temp is also kinda good. So no complaints there today. I also took measurements. She's 14" tall now and about 21" from the light. I was considering lifting the light up and increasing the intensity for a bigger footprint, but I don't think I need to quite yet. I'm thinking in the next couple of days I'll need to adjust it anyway. Especially because of the Apple Strudel which is 16" tall and only starting to stretch now. She's gonna be a beast. This little lady won't be small either. I don't think she is beast material though. Well, who knows maybe she is. 02/10/2026 So instead of swapping the water out today, I topped off with a half gallon of the new stuff. She's drinking about a half gallon a day, so I'll continue to feed the normal dose but in half gallon intervals over the course of the week. Then I'll change out the water with the regular dose. Regular as in 1/3 dose from what the manufacturer says. It should be fine. Update: I decided to swap out the water. Lol Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 898 TDS: 450 Temp: 64.7° We will have to see how she likes this mix. A couple hours later: So far it looks good. I'm not exactly sure what to look out for. According to both the Advanced Nutrients app and the FastBuds autoflower schedule, I'm perfectly in range. Anyway, she looks fantastic! Beautiful colors. Strong side branching. Best of all, it's starting to spread out. So more and more bud sites may be grown. I'll just have to cut some select leaves after the stretch. We'll see how it goes. I have a good feeling about this plant. Not sure how big she'll get, but her buds should be POTENT. 02/11/2026 So I forgot to add an ice bottle last night. Now there's big bubbles on top of the water and on the roots. Not really sure what it means, but both plants did it. This one and the Apple Strudel. Maybe it's the mix with the new nutrients, like bud ignitor and bud factor x. Maybe the water was too warm and I screwed up. We'll find out at some point today or tomorrow. I'm gonna have to check the EC and TDS to make sure it's staying the same. If it's raising, I know I have too much nutrients. But I don't think so. I hope it's not another algae bloom. It didn't look like this before though. Maybe a new issue? I'll keep an eye on it. Other than that, she looks amazing. Taking a very nice shape all by herself. She has clear layers of leaves and branches. Directly from the side, you can see them. It's very nice. Don't get me wrong, unless she stretches considerably, I'll definitely be defoliating after the stretch. Plus I'm expecting bigger leaves. The environment seems pretty decent as well. Doesn't seem any equipment is having issues either. Something I'll note is the color of the leaf tips. They are dark, but barely. No claw either. So I'm only noting it. Not too worried about it. We'll see how things go throughout today. It's not like I'm pumping her with like 1000 ppm or anything. It's like 450. There shouldn't be any issues whatsoever except for maybe being a little underfed, but this doesn't seem to be the case. She seems very happy and healthy. Wanting for nothing. She has all she needs. 02/12/2026 Not much to report today. She's stretching and her leaves are all filling out making her explode with growth. She looks amazing. Still growing one main cola though. I can tell. It's gonna be short I think, but the rest of the plant will have caught up by then. I don't expect small buds from this plant either. She's definitely gonna pack them on. But, if this is in fact a blue dream, the buds will be pointy and long. Let's hope these branches grow long enough for a hand full of foot long colas. The environment looks pretty good too. Equipment is running just fine. The water this morning wasn't warm, so that's good. I did however replace the ice bottle. The pH is fine. I haven't taken it, but I'm guessing with the pH perfect technology, it's 6.1 to 6.3. perfectly within range. I'll check numbers this afternoon and report then. Also, from the looks of it, the water seems fine. No films, no smells, just bubbles. I wonder if they make a styrofoam bucket insulation thing. That'd be nice to have instead of always swapping out ice bottles. Oh well. I also have to top her off today. I just checked. Looks like maybe a half gallon? Maybe a little more? I'm trying to wait for a gallon, but the water looks so low. Oh well. I'm still topping off today. Lol. Update: So I added a half gallon of the current dose and the EC and TDS are lower than what they were when I swapped out the water. Am I supposed to increase the dose as needed? But I don't know what I need exactly. I'm pretty sure she is hungry and needs more nutrients, but I don't want to overdo it. Plus I have to figure out a way to not take the plant out of the bucket. She's getting big and cumbersome. Plus with the other plant in the tent, maneuvering around without pressing too hard against the other plant and the walls is damn near impossible. The heater is in the way. Like really in the way. I would need to take the heater out, move all the wires and hoses just to put the reserve bucket in place. I suppose I can pump out a gallon, add more mix and then dump it back in and let the bubbles and top feed system mix it in. I'd rather mix it in by hand, but again, I can't lift the plant from the bucket. I mean, maybe I can pump out the full bucket, dose it properly and then pump it back in. That wouldn't be too bad. 🤔. I might do that. At least with this plant. The other plant has a lot more space to move around. I can lift that one out... for now. She's gonna be big. Anyway, that's all for today. 02/13/2026 Lookin good today. She definitely exploded in growth. No height yet, but definitely filling out. I expect the height to come soon enough. She's only like 15" tall. I need double that. Lol I swapped the ice bottles out. She wasn't warm so that's a good thing. Keep it cool. I'm starting to think that maybe this isn't the stretch or just the very beginning. The upward growth is like a vegging plant. Not one that in a super stretch mode. Maybe I was off by my stretching timing. We'll see. The environment looks good today. Or well, has been looking good. I guess not that it was all that bad, but a little cool. It's fine. I've still got the humidity at 55% and temp at 75°. I think when I start to see actual buds, I'll drop it to 50%. Oh, I won't be turning the humidifier off. It's staying right where it is because the humidity in the house is like 29%. Unless the plants get big enough to start putting off their own humidity. Then, well, it'll just turn off and do nothing except sit there. I'd much rather not use it, but it's ok if it turns on a little bit. I doubt it will turn on much. It still might even at 45%. Readings: pH: 6.35 EC: 777 cm TDS: 382 ppm Temp: 66°

Forgot to take pics when I cut her down, so I took her out of the drying space for a few pictures. Haven’t tried the smoke yet but she’s so frosty!! Can already tell it’s going to be fantastic!

c'est bien jolie

Hello again! Into week 7+ ladies were very bushy so I decided to dive in and clear out the lower canopy and removed old leaves. As usual watering every 4-5 days and I have increased the amount of water to about 8L to each pot. They are drying out faster day by day. Still using 50mL of molassas to 5gal of water pH to 5.9 this time. No issues to report. See you on the next update!

Plants are chilling, added in some bokashi and dry amendments, not expecting much more from this plant, just needs to finish growing and we can be done.

@ 1.0-1.1 kPa

05.08.26 Weiter geht's auch hier die Silicat Angabe bezieht sich auf 4g auf 10L Wasser Man sieht auch schon die Kristalle auf den Blüten nur Skunk Haze ist ein bisschen hinterher und GDP hat voll aufgeholt werden wohl Arm lange Blüten werden wenn ich es schaffe das sie genug Licht bekommt in dem Jungle 06.08.26 Läuft das Wetter spielt mit bis jetzt sieht alles sehr vielversprechend aus

Es ist fast geschafft ☺️! permanent marker im Dognabiscup wurde geerntet und hat schöne große Feste harzige buds geliefert,die nun für mindestens 7 Tage im Dryferm bag Trocknen werden! Für ihre Größe ein sehr gutes Ergebnis! Es hat Spaß gemacht und ich sage Mal keep Green and grow High ✌️🍀😉🍀 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Cash Express – Pheno A | Week 3 A Picture of Vigor Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Each phenotype receives its own dedicated diary, allowing us to observe not only cultivar differences but also the subtle variations that appear between sister plants sharing the same genetic foundation. Week 3 has been a week of acceleration. The entire room received a substantial increase in light intensity, moving from approximately 370 µmol/m²/s PPFD to 700 µmol/m²/s PPFD at canopy level. Nutrient strength increased alongside the lighting, and the plants have responded with enthusiasm. Growth rates are increasing, branching is becoming more apparent, and the room is beginning to transition from seedlings into young plants with real structure and personality. Among them, Cash Express Pheno A is making a very strong first impression. ⸻ Week 3 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 27.4°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% 💡 PPFD: ~700 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed 💦 Water Consumption: ~0.9–1.2L per day Feeding Schedule Days 18 * EC 1.0 * pH 5.99–6.0 * Approximately 1L Days 21– * EC 1.3 * pH 6.0 * Approximately 1.2L The environment remains stable, which allows each cultivar to express its genetic potential without external stress factors influencing development. ⸻ Cash Express Pheno A Some plants attract attention because they are unusual. Others attract attention because they are simply doing everything right. Cash Express Pheno A belongs firmly in the second category. Looking through this week’s photographs, the first word that comes to mind is: Vigor. Everything about this plant communicates health. The leaves are broad and evenly developed. The coloration is rich and consistent. The stem is sturdy. The internodal spacing remains compact. And perhaps most importantly, the overall symmetry is excellent. From above, the plant displays a clean, balanced structure that many growers hope to see at this stage of development. Each new node seems to emerge with confidence, stacking neatly above the previous one while maintaining a very organized architecture. The increased PPFD appears to have been welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Instead of stretching toward the light, the plant is building mass. The canopy is widening. The stem is thickening. The branching is becoming more defined. This is exactly the kind of response growers hope to see when increasing light intensity. One of my favorite observations this week is the contrast between the mature fan leaves and the fresh emerging growth. The older leaves provide a strong foundation while the new growth pushes upward with remarkable energy, creating that vibrant layered look that healthy plants often display during rapid vegetative development. There is a confidence to this phenotype. No strange leaf shapes. No unusual growth patterns. No hesitation. Just steady, healthy progression. Sometimes perfection can be boring. But in the garden, perfection is still beautiful. And this plant is undeniably beautiful. ⸻ Reading the Plant One of the most important lessons in cultivation is learning to observe rather than assume. This week offered a perfect example. When PPFD was increased to approximately 700 µmol/m²/s, the goal was not simply to provide more light. The goal was to see how the plants would respond. Cash Express Pheno A answered quickly. The leaves remained comfortable and relaxed. The plant maintained healthy posture. New growth accelerated. Color remained strong. These signals tell us that the plant is utilizing the additional photons effectively rather than becoming stressed by them. This is why environmental monitoring is so valuable. Plants communicate continuously. The challenge is learning how to listen. ⸻ Structure and Development At this stage, Pheno A is developing into a plant that could potentially become a very balanced individual later in flower. Several characteristics stand out: * Excellent symmetry * Strong central growth * Healthy branching development * Compact internodal spacing * Consistent leaf morphology * Strong response to increased PPFD The architecture currently suggests a phenotype capable of building a dense, productive canopy while maintaining a manageable structure. Of course, the real story is still ahead. Week 3 only gives us the first hints of what this plant may become. But those hints are promising. Very promising. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week, I will be watching closely for: * Continued branch development * Response to the higher EC feeding schedule * Growth rate compared to neighboring cultivars * Structural changes as additional nodes form * Early indicators of flowering transition under the 12/12 schedule If the current pace continues, this plant could quickly establish itself as one of the stronger performers in the room. For now, she remains one of the cleanest examples of healthy development in the entire project. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along with this journey. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers can document, learn, share experiences, and support one another. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and cultivation support powering this project. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower, reader, supporter, and curious visitor who takes time out of their day to follow these updates. The plants grow because of biology. The project grows because of community. 🌱💚 Growers Love and see you next week.

All pictures were taken on day 57 Buds are stacking up and her smell intensified a lot this week😸I am impressed by the size of her buds🙀I have not seen such a big headbud outdoor after such short flowering💪 I gave her about 4L with 0.7ml/l Top-Max & Bio-Bloom this week and 0.4ml/l Bio-Grow More lower leaves are getting yellowish but it should be fine with current feeding✊

I will continue to update once they are dry and ready for cure . I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 114 grams please consider that when it comes to my weight I wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in the night so I want to avoid mold on them so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice . I will update with flavours and other details once I try it I've I have been smoking a different strain that I will review today . After 4 weeks curing in jars the smoke it is very smooth very nice taste like tropical citrusy with a hint of skunk buds are very smelly and hybrid density to them very enjoyable to have . thank you for reading have a happy grow

Ice Bomb grew well under the Unit Farm UF4000, and UF2000 that was added in flowering. She was 1 of 5 in a group grow under the lights. She got nice and frosty. Smells like strawberries 🍓 to me anyway. She is suppose to be a good medical cannabis so curious to the smoke report when I get there. Thank you Bomb Seeds, and Unit Farm. 🤜🤛🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
