First week budding. Definitely starting showing signs of female the first 2 days you can see the hairs com in at the bot of the stocks. Looking forward to next week

The buds are spread everywhere and they are nice and frosty in next 2 weeks she will get fat.

Estoy contento de como se están desarollando estas nuevas fem de 42 fast buds una nueva línea muy resinosa, flores densas y llenas de resina, algunas tiene un olor realmente increíble, lemon mandarin es espectacular como huele a mandarina, gorilla melon huele como a melón recién cortado en una tarde calurosa de verano... reinbow melon tiene un olor dulce terroso y gaseoso, paya sherbet uele a una mezcla dulce de papaya... veremos que tal los terps al fumar.

Getting frostier every day. Smells like over ripe fruit and bubblegum. Sweet terp profile. Starting to fade a little early but I do not want to add any nitrogen at day 35 in flower. I will let her ride it out. Hoping for some purple colors but we'll see.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 5 | A Different Rhythm, The Same Beautiful Journey Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest joys of running a phenotype hunt is watching two sisters grow side by side while revealing completely different personalities. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting schedule. Nearly identical nutrition. Yet each plant chooses her own path. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is proving exactly that. Although she shares many similarities with her sister, she’s writing a story entirely her own. ⸻ 🌱 How We Got Here For anyone joining this diary for the first time, this entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Instead of providing a long vegetative period before switching the lights, the plants receive a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light cycle from the very beginning of life. This allows every phenotype to decide naturally when it’s mature enough to begin flowering. Some start earlier. Others prefer to spend a little more time building themselves before making that transition. That’s exactly what makes this project so fascinating. Nature decides. I simply provide the environment and let each plant express herself. ⸻ 🌼 Week One of Flower Although we’re now five weeks from seed, this marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower for Chem Brûlée Pheno B. The transition is now undeniable. Fresh white pistils are appearing across the growing tips, signalling that the plant has officially entered her reproductive phase. Over the coming weeks these tiny white hairs will multiply rapidly, forming the foundation for the flowers that will eventually cover the canopy. This is where the magic really begins. ⸻ 🍃 Big Leaves, Beautiful Health Just like her sister… The first thing that catches your eye is those incredible fan leaves. They’re huge. Wide. Deep green. Full of life. Healthy fan leaves are the engines powering everything that comes later, capturing light and converting it into the energy needed to build stems, roots and eventually dense, resin-covered flowers. Looking across the canopy, she’s showing exactly the kind of vigorous growth I hope to see during this stage. There is one damaged leaf visible in this week’s photographs. That one is entirely my fault. Sometimes, while working around the plants, accidents happen. Fortunately, it’s nothing more than cosmetic damage. The rest of the plant continues looking exceptionally healthy, and one damaged leaf certainly won’t slow her down. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training Training continues to remain intentionally simple. Rather than forcing the plant into unnatural shapes, I’m using gentle Low Stress Training, carefully bending and repositioning growth to improve light distribution throughout the canopy. Leaf tucking also remains part of the daily routine whenever needed. Small adjustments performed consistently usually produce better long-term results than aggressive training all at once. The goal isn’t to control the plant. The goal is simply to help every future flower receive as much light as possible. ⸻ 🌡️ This Week’s Environment The environment continues providing ideal conditions for this stage of development. This week’s averages included: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 24.2°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Humidity remains intentionally a little higher while the plants are still stretching and producing fresh vegetative growth. As flowering progresses and buds begin to stack, humidity will gradually be reduced to provide the ideal conditions for healthy flower development. Watching the room evolve each week has been incredibly satisfying. Every update feels like another step closer to seeing this full canopy covered in flowers. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Photos This week’s update includes a variety of different perspectives, including bird’s-eye views, side profiles, detailed close-ups, and room shots documenting her progress from every angle. I always enjoy photographing plants this way because every perspective tells a slightly different story. From above, you can appreciate the canopy. From the side, you can see the structure. Close-ups reveal the first pistils beginning to emerge. Together, they create a complete snapshot of this stage in her journey. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect Chem Brûlée Pheno B to continue stretching while producing many more flowering sites throughout the canopy. The number of white pistils should increase significantly as flower formation accelerates, and the plant will begin directing more energy toward building future bud sites. Training will remain gentle and minimal, allowing her natural structure to develop while simply improving light penetration where necessary. She’s progressing at her own pace… And that’s exactly what makes following each phenotype so rewarding. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you’ve been here since germination or you’ve just joined this journey, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every bit of advice, and every conversation we share.

Day 34 this lady is running, I can see flowers getting bigger every day, smell started really really soon this time so I already had to add the Carbon Filter. I’d like to close the cycle in less then 80 days. It would be great First flowering fertilisation Ph 6.2 Ppm 631 Day 37 - 9 of flower 🌸 Started blooming fertilisation, I’m keep Giving all-in one from aptus, i think I lm substitute with super pk and I stop all in one. Ph 6.2 Ppm 731 As I’m growing an solito in a 9.2 lt pots with all mix nutrients I’m slowing down with all in one and just giving base feedings, I ll decide later if I should give super-pk for the next weeks Day 40, tomorrow will be feeding days. Sge’s going really well, resin is already showing up on flowers that are several as and colorfull, smell is already there 🤤 Tomorrow update with feedings parameters. Day 41 feeding day Aptus regulator 0,15ml/1 lt Aptus all in one 1,25ml/1lt Aptus Topbooster 0,3 ml Aptus enzym + 0,5 ml Calmag 0,3 ml /L Ph 6,18 Ppm 756 Let’s see

3-16 1.5 grams game time, 4 ml green sensation, 3ml cal/mag, 1 ml slf-100. Made 6 liters. 419 ppm. Runoff 1355 ppm ph 6.7 Started the final little push. See if she likes it or have to give another feed. All new to me, so 🤞 Game time increases terps and oil/resin production. Hope I get to do a 2nd dose. 3-23 1.5 grams game time, 3 ml green sensation, 4 ml cal/mag, 1.5 ml frost nugs, 1.5 ml drops of balance, 1.5 ml slf-100. Ph 6.1 ppm 350 Run off 950ppm ph 6.7 Runoff was 1150 ph 7.0, So I gave a little more to wash some salts out. 3-19 1.5 grams game time, 3 ml green sensation, 2 ml cal/mag, 1.5 ml drops of balance and 1.5 ml slf-100 ph 6.1 Run off 1146 ppm ph 6.5 Shes rockin hard. 💪🤘 .

F week 5. Leaves got brown spots and are dry. I think my light was too close and maybe some cal-mag issue too. I lifted light higher and changed the nutes in the reservoir. Let's see if that helps.

3 are really flowering, one is pre flower and one is still veg. Still all are quite healthy, no signs of seeds so lucky I seemed to have culled the male soon enough. The one I topped once is 2.3m but the ones I topped twice are only about 2 meters and started flowering first. Finally it is sunny and the plants are loving it. Looks like I have another 4-6 weeks of flowering before I can harvest

Week 11 - Strawberry Gorilla Auto what a beautiful plant. This has to some of the best flower I’ve ever smelled in my life hands down. The smell is exactly like a Strawberry Donut. To be able to mix a strain to make it smell like this is truly mind blowing. My first grow is growing better than ever ! I’m going to let the pot dry another day. Then it will sit in 48hrs of darkness before I karate chop them. Happy growing everyone and good luck !

FINALLY STARTING THE PHOTOPERIODS AND I HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD FOR CHOPPING THE AUTOFLOWERS..........SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

1/12 4:14AM MONDAY!!!!!!!! CBG IS GOOD!1 LOWERD THE WATTAGE, EFFICIENCY IS GOOD. GREAT WHITE MYCO HAS INCREASED UPTAKE AND AND!!!! PHOTOSYNTHESIS EFFICIENCY ......FUCKING AWESOME 💪💪💪💪 1/12 4:47AM I asked GROK: are samsung leds on my mars hydro lights seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says, I lowered the lights again by a few watts? Yes, the **Samsung LM301H EVO diodes** in your Mars Hydro lights (likely an FC-E series like FC-E3000, FC-E4000, or similar) are among the most efficient horticultural LEDs available right now—individual diodes hit **3.14 μmol/J** efficacy, pushing the whole fixture to around **2.85–2.9 μmol/J** PPE (photosynthetic photon efficacy) in manufacturer specs and independent tests. That's top-tier for full-spectrum grow lights, meaning they convert more electrical power into usable plant photons than older diodes or cheaper LEDs. If they "seem more efficient than the PPFD meter says" (your plants thriving at lower wattage/height adjustments), that's actually common and not a contradiction—it's often the **real-world efficiency** shining through once nutes/stress are fixed. Here's why this happens and what your recent wattage drop (a few more watts lower) likely means: ### Why Samsung LM301H EVO Can "Seem" More Efficient Than Raw PPFD Readings Suggest - **High PPE + Uniform Distribution**: These diodes excel at producing photons in the PAR range (400–700nm) with minimal waste (heat/loss). Mars Hydro FC-EVOs achieve strong average PPFD (e.g., 750–1000+ μmol/m²/s in tests at recommended heights/power) with even spread—no hot spots wasting energy. When your nutes were suboptimal (Advanced Nutrients issues), plants couldn't fully use the light (wasted photons → stress, stretch, lower efficiency). Now dialed in (GH powder + aminos + mycos), they convert more of that PPFD into growth—making the light "feel" stronger/more efficient even if meter numbers stay the same or drop slightly. - **Meter Limitations & Calibration**: - Handheld PAR meters (especially cheap/older ones) can under-read full-spectrum LEDs like LM301H EVO (strong white + red enhancement). They often have poor spectral response to the exact mix, reading 10–30% low compared to pro tools (Apogee SQ-500) or calibrated apps. - If you're using an app like Photone (mentioned in your diary), it's generally more accurate for Samsung full-spectrum lights (especially on iPhone; Android varies but often close with diffuser/paper). Many growers report Photone matching or exceeding cheap handhelds on LM301H setups—sometimes showing higher effective PPFD than a basic meter implies. - Bottom line: Your plants are the ultimate meter. Thriving (miraculous growth, no burn/stress) at lower wattage means the effective usable PPFD is higher than a potentially under-reading meter suggests—efficiency win. ### Your Wattage Drop & What It Means Lowering by a few more watts (on top of the earlier ~10% drop) is smart and aligns with the efficiency gains: - Dimming on Mars Hydro FC series is **very linear**—tests show PPFD percentage tracks close to (or slightly above) the dimmer % because diodes run more efficiently at lower currents (less heat/loss). - Example: Dropping from 100% to 90% might only reduce PPFD by ~8–10%, not full 10%, due to that efficiency curve. - Your plants handling it (still "miraculously better") without stretch or pale leaves confirms the sweet spot: likely 450–650 μmol/m²/s veg/late veg range now, with room to push if pistils emerge. - Solar bonus: Every watt saved = less battery drain on cloudy days, cooler tent (less fan/AC draw), and more headroom for extra plants without spiking consumption. **Practical next steps**: - Recheck PPFD (if using Photone/handheld): Average multiple canopy spots at current height/power—aim 450–600 for late veg autos, 600–800 early flower. - Watch response: If nodes stay tight/dark green/no cupping, you can drop another 5% or lower height slightly for denser canopy. - Log kWh if your inverter shows it—track the drop to celebrate the savings. - If meter still "under-says" vs. plant performance, trust the plants more—Samsung EVOs are proven beasts when the rest of the grow is dialed. This is textbook optimization: nute fix → better photon use → lower power for same/better results → solar efficiency skyrockets. You're building a truly lean system. How low are you at now (e.g., 70–75W total?)? Any pistils or new growth explosions today? Keep the momentum—it's paying off big. 🥊🍌👨‍🔬🚨🌞 1/13/26 7:47AM BRUTAL WEEK FOR THE MOP AND BUCKET GUYS AT MUDRUROS COMPOUND 1/13, 11:22 AM banana purple punch auto RF three is doing really great. I haven’t really needed to do anything. I decided not to top. I didn’t want to do anything except light stress training. I think she’s gonna turn out just great. Her stock is one of the thickest. She’s just perfect.😍😍😍

Week 5 - Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 82 during the day and 72 at night. It’s been creeping up and down for the past couple of weeks. I’m thinking of ordering a T8 Cloudline from AC to really suck that air out… I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop and wow, just wow. Already popping with some long stems and big heads! These girls just keep getting better and better. They are also really starting to show their pheno differences, and similarities. 3 of them have very similar terps, and slight variations, and one is distinct in both smell and look.

Resin is increasing and looks like bud sites are ready to start putting on some bulk. Issue with low ph drift reaching 5.2 so I decreased 50ppm with distilled water without calmag to soften the water and counter the drift. After decreasing ppm, ph drift continues, so I flushed for 2 days with distilled water and added back nutrients at half strength to increase to 800 ppm over time.

Alien OG Autoflower grew great, and finished beautifully. Strong smell, frosty, and sticky. She grew great under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light. It was my first time using the Gen 1:11 nutrients. I really like them, and will use again till I run out or get more. She will hang dry 24 hours then be put into the cannatrol for a 8 day cycle. I got a great grow to try it out the first time. 🤞. Thank you Aeque Genetics, Gen1:11, and Mars Hydro. 🤜🤛🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
