🏆The First Grow Cup Diary🏆 _____📅 Week 18 | 📅 Day 121 - 127 | 10.05 - 16.05 ______ last Days 🔸Everything looks great so far, I'm very happy with the look of the plants, they could have been a bit thicker buds, but I can't complain about the lights hehe.They all smell about the same but all look different in terms of bud shape. I'm curious to see how they will taste. 😍 🔸the last two times she was watered she only got tap water, I think for Runtz#3 it was too dry and too much light in the end, I haven't really checked and measured it for the last 2 weeks. I also let them dry out almost completely the last 2 times, Runtz 1 and 2 coped better. Doesn't look nice, of course, but shouldn't have any negative effects. 🔸I had invited friends for trimming and still had to take pictures...well they weren't helpful in any case haha :D:D But they did an excellent job with the trimming and help a lot 😇 🔸Harvest is complete and I will update my harvest report as soon as everything is dry __________________________________________________________________ 🌡️🔆= 25-26° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 50-55% 🔦 PPFD = 1000 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~43 ___________________________________________________________________ Equipment: flowering 💡2 x 200 Watt Cosmos LED 💡2 x Glow80 Spider-Farmer (4x40Watt) 💡1 x SF-600 Spider-Farmer 💨 3 x Oscillating Clip Ventilator running 24/7 ⛺120 x 120 x 200 Tent (4 x 4 x 8) 🍯 18 liter pots

420Fastbuds FBT2310/Week 6 What up growmies. Weekly update on these beautiful ladies. This week we've had some temperature swings and wow did they not like getting down into the high 50's. They both bounced back but won't be letting it get that cold again if I can help. Flower sites are all over with pistols. No signs of any major issues so will keep the same routine. All in all Happy Growing

I found an awesome strain with four seeds and tested three of them. The smell was pure vanilla gas—super stinky and strong. Phenotype 1 was the best, with amazing density and a frosty look. It was a heavy yielder too, giving over 7 ounces from a 1-liter COCO. The terpene profile is incredible, tasting just like cookie dough. Would I grow this strain again? Definitely! I even saved a clone. I'd rate it a perfect 10/10

Harvest Report by Zuppler - End of Week 9 Yo, what’s good fam? Zuppler comin' through with that harvest report, Week 9 wrapped up and it’s time to bring these queens down. The buds are lookin’ fat, frosty, and sticky – they ripened up just right, with that perfect mix of milky and amber trichomes. Real proud of how this run turned out. I learned a lot in this grow, no doubt. Dialin' in them nutes, catchin' the burn early, and lettin' them heavy buds stack properly. It’s all about leveling up, ya feel me? Next grow, I’m excited to be poppin' some Cherry Pie and Fruit Cake beans – gonna take everything I learned this round and make the next one even better. Zuppler out. Stay tuned, fam – the next one’s gonna be fire!

The week passed like in the movie * Leon * when he ran with his ficus from one location to another, like a partisan hiding and saving his flower 😂 I wanted to start cutting, but there are a lot of new stigmas on the buds, it was decided to leave for another week 🤙

Sour diesel and northern lights are ready to be chopped. I will put them in the basement in the dark for at least a day before I cut them down. The clone from the expert haze had to be tossed because I found spider mites on it and then found them on my expert haze plant outdoors. I shouldn’t have brought the clone inside, oops I will not be making another clone of this plant. I have found caterpillars all over everything and didn’t want to spray the buds with pesticides so every day a couple of times a day I would remove them. They eat a lot so I don’t have as much production at harvest. I will be more aggressive with the expert haze with pest control.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 8 | Small Plant, Serious Flower Power Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project brings twelve different cultivars together under the same environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. By keeping the growing conditions as consistent as possible, we give genetics the opportunity to become the real variable. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so fascinating. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients and the same schedule, they can tell completely different stories. Cash Express Pheno A has certainly chosen her own story. Growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED and with her roots connected to the AutoPot system, she has always been one of the smaller plants in the room. But as we've already learned... Small doesn't mean insignificant. In fact, this week she's looking more and more like a little powerhouse preparing to show us exactly what she can do. 🌱 A Quick Recap — How Did We Get Here? The 8×8 Adventure is based around a simple but fascinating concept: twelve different cultivars growing together, under essentially the same conditions, from seed. There are no separate environments designed to favour one particular genetic. They're all sharing the same room. The same light cycle. The same irrigation philosophy. The same nutrient programme. And that's where the fun begins. Cash Express Pheno A started her life under a 12/12-from-seed approach. For anyone new to the diary, this means she wasn't given a traditional vegetative period followed by a later switch to flowering. Instead, she has experienced a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle from the beginning. This allows us to observe how different genetics naturally develop when they're given a limited photoperiod rather than an extended vegetative stage. And Cash Express has responded by becoming a compact, beautifully structured plant. She may not have the height of some of her sisters... …but she has developed plenty of character. 🌸 Week 8 — She's Ready to Perform This week, the biggest impression comes from one thing: She looks lush. The foliage is carrying a beautiful, rich green, and the overall plant looks incredibly alive. There are some differences visible in individual leaves, including some colour variation, but when I step back and look at the plant as a whole, I'm extremely happy with what I'm seeing. The flowers are developing. The leaves are supporting that development. The plant looks vigorous. And most importantly, she looks like a plant that is comfortable with where she is right now. The flowering sites are becoming increasingly defined, and those long white pistils are absolutely everywhere. They're reaching outward from the flowers like tiny fireworks. And behind them, we're beginning to see the real structure of the buds developing. This is the stage where looking at the plant every few days becomes incredibly rewarding. Because suddenly... what started as little white hairs is becoming a flower. ? The White Hairs Are Taking Over One of my favourite things about photographing Cash Express this week has been watching the pistils. There are so many of them. The flowers are throwing out fresh white hairs in every direction, and they're becoming increasingly prominent against the darker foliage. When you look closely, you can also see the beginning of resin development around the sugar leaves. It's still early enough that the flowers have plenty of work ahead of them, but we're definitely past the stage of wondering whether she's going to flower. She's flowering. And she's doing it with confidence. The coming weeks should be particularly interesting because the plant now has the basic flower structure established. From here, the question becomes: How much weight and density can this little lady put behind those flowers? That's what I'm watching. 💚 Small Plant… Lush Plant I know I've said it before, but this phenotype keeps proving the point. Height doesn't tell the whole story. At around 72 cm, Cash Express Pheno A remains one of the more compact plants in the 8×8 Adventure. But visually? She carries herself beautifully. Her branches have created a very manageable structure, and the flowering sites are distributed throughout the plant in a way that makes her extremely interesting to photograph. She's not trying to dominate the room. She's simply doing her thing. And right now, she's doing it very well. There's something particularly satisfying about seeing a smaller plant suddenly become so full of life. She's compact. She's green. She's flowering. And she's looking hungry enough to tell me: "Don't you dare slow me down now." 😂 ⚗️ Feeding — When the Plants Ask, We Listen This week we made another small increase to the nutrient programme. And yes... We're already above the manufacturer's chart in some aspects of the feeding schedule. Normally, charts are an excellent starting point. But plants don't read charts. Plants tell us what they need. And these girls have been asking for more. So we're responding. For Cash Express Pheno A, this week's feeding included: 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 products as required Compared with last week, Terra Bloom has been increased slightly, from 2 ml/L to 2.2 ml/L. It's not a dramatic jump. It's a controlled adjustment based on what we're seeing across the room. And Cash Express certainly doesn't look like she's complaining. Quite the opposite. She looks lush, healthy and ready to put that nutrition to work. The AutoPot system continues allowing the plants to take up solution according to their own demand, with approximately 1.2 litres per plant per 24 hours recorded this week. So, as always, we're watching the plants rather than blindly chasing numbers. If they ask... We listen. ? Those Purple Stems — Yes, They're There Now let's talk about something visible in the photographs. Some of the petioles and stems are showing a noticeable reddish/purple coloration. It's definitely there. And whenever I see something like this, I prefer to document it rather than simply ignore it. At the same time, I don't want to automatically label every purple stem as a deficiency or a problem. Genetics can influence pigmentation significantly, and environmental factors can contribute as well. What matters to me is the whole-plant picture. And that picture currently looks very positive. The foliage is lush. The flowers are developing strongly. The plant is producing plenty of fresh pistils. The flowers are showing resin development. There isn't a widespread pattern across the plant that makes me think she's struggling. So for now, I'm doing what I always prefer to do: Observe rather than panic. The purple coloration is part of the story, so we'll keep watching it. If the plant continues looking this happy, producing flowers and maintaining healthy new growth, I'm certainly not going to start changing things simply because one characteristic caught my eye. Sometimes the plant is simply showing us who she is. And Cash Express may just have a little purple personality hiding underneath all that green. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a stable environment for all twelve plants to develop together. This week's recorded conditions were: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6 range recorded ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 Plant height: 72 cm 💧 Water consumption: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h Once again, consistency is allowing us to compare these plants in a very interesting way. They're living the same life... …but they're certainly not telling the same story. 🌿 No Rush — Just Reading the Room One thing I really enjoy about this project is that we're not forcing every plant into exactly the same schedule just because a calendar says it's time. Training, cleaning and defoliation are tools. They're not appointments. If a particular plant needs attention because its structure is becoming too dense, we respond. If another plant is perfectly balanced and doesn't need anything... we leave her alone. That's the philosophy I've been following throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The room itself tells us when intervention makes sense. And Cash Express Pheno A continues to show a structure that doesn't need us to overcomplicate things. She has already received her LST during the earlier stages of the grow, which helped create the framework we're now watching develop. At this stage, the priority is increasingly simple: let the flowers develop. 📸 Behind the Lens This week might be one of my favourite photographic updates for Cash Express so far. The macro photographs really show the contrast between her darker foliage and those bright, almost luminous pistils. The flowers are beginning to look increasingly complex. You can see the developing sugar leaves. You can see the resin beginning to build. You can see the individual flower structures becoming more defined. And then there are those beautiful reddish tones running through some of the stems and petioles. Photography has a funny way of making you notice things you might otherwise overlook. You can stand in front of the plant and simply think: "Wow, she's looking good." Then you put the macro lens on... …and suddenly you're discovering an entire little world. That's one of my favourite parts of this project. We're not just growing these plants. We're documenting them. 🔮 Looking Ahead — What I Expect… and What I Don't The next week should be particularly interesting. 🌸 What I expect: I expect the flowering sites to continue swelling and becoming more defined. I expect the white pistils to remain extremely prominent while the flowers continue building structure. I expect resin production to become increasingly visible. And I expect this compact little plant to continue proving that she doesn't need much height to make an impression. 🌱 What I don't expect: I don't expect her to suddenly become the tallest plant in the room. That's simply not her personality. I don't expect us to force her into a particular shape just because another phenotype behaves differently. And I don't expect us to make unnecessary changes while she's telling us that she's happy. For now, the plan is simple: keep watching, keep feeding according to her response, keep the environment stable, and let Cash Express do what Cash Express does. She's earned the opportunity to show us what she's capable of. And I'm very curious to find out. 🚂 Small Plant. Big Personality. Eight weeks from seed. Around 72 centimetres tall. Surrounded by plants that could easily make her look small. And yet, when I put the camera in front of her... she fills the frame. That's the beauty of genetics. One plant wants to grow tall. Another wants to grow wide. Another wants to stretch. Another wants to stay compact and quietly build flowers. Cash Express Pheno A? She's chosen the last option. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. She's lush. She's beautiful. She's producing flowers everywhere. And she's starting to look like she's getting ready to show us what that little frame can really produce. The next few weeks should be fun. 🚂🌸 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following along with the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues reminding me why I love growing different genetics side by side. Twelve plants. One environment. One methodology. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share knowledge and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can do. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting these plants throughout their journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting powering this adventure from seed through flowering. Thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system that allows these plants to regulate their own demand and drink when they need it. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light into the lower areas of the plants. And finally, thank you. To everyone reading, commenting, following, sharing and simply enjoying this adventure with me — you're part of what makes documenting every week so much fun. Cash Express Pheno A may be one of the smaller girls in the room... …but she's certainly making herself heard. Growers Love, my friends. I'll see you next week as this little powerhouse continues writing her own story. 💚🚂🌱

Todos los días actualización nueva, pendientes !!

10/19/24 started

Popped and placed into their forever home today. Sprinkled some Oregonism XL at the seed site, using Roots Organic LUSH on the bottom 1/3 of the pot and Roots Organics Original on the top 2/3. I'll be setting up a time lapse for this grow as well.

Terpenes are exploding. Never smelled something this strong like the Cherry Mac muffin Cherry MAC Muffin gets only water ph 6,1

Result was on par to breeder descriptions. High yield for a lanky sativa. Bap will help stretch and density a lot on this strain at flip. I have to grow my last seed outdoors and breed it with another nasty sativa like sourD muahahahaha

July 29 - Temp(High/Low) 25/18 Rain(mm) 0.0 July 30 - Temp(High/Low) 24/16 Rain(mm) 0.0 July 31 - Temp(High/Low) 26/17 Rain(mm) 0.0 Aug 01 - Temp(High/Low) 29/19 Rain(mm) 24.3 Aug 02 - Temp(High/Low) 27/15 Rain(mm) 0.0 Aug 03 - Temp(High/Low) 26/12 Rain(mm) 23.6 Aug 04 - Temp(High/Low) 26/21 Rain(mm) 0.0 Looking nice, Just starting to bud. Got a shit ton of rain and humidity by the end of the week.

la seconda pianta ossia quella che non era ermafrodita è stata impollinata solo nel ramo in diretto raggio del ventilatore, forse avrei potuto pensarci, comunque ho 12 semi, per il resto non ho trovato molti semi e sono soddisfatto nel complesso, la pianta non ermafrodita ha avuto un esplosione di tricomi, veramente piena, per altro le cime sembravano pesare molto, per adesso stanno seccando, di muffa ne ho trtovata poc e niente

The girls are happy! Pistils are long and the calayxs are developing nicely. Starting to stack and swell! Kinda turned into a jungle since the defoliation and now it's so much leaves...I removed a dozen or so but I dont like defoliating at this stage so I just tucked them to expose more light. Some unexpected stretch from the watermelon wedding cake and zkittlez. Really happy with this one!

Trochu citrus, trochu cookies:) Uprimne jsem necekal ze tam tech 58g bude.

They grow up so fast! ;') Watered every ~3 days (when dry) Pour in water quickly/gently so that the soil is covered by 1cm of water. Not long now, maybe a week, then cloning!
