BM is coming right along , smells absolutely divinely fruity and is well sticky. Just keeping up the defol once a week and spreading her out a little. She’s been effortless to grow so far just gonna keep doing the same same and watch her fatten up the next few weeks

# Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱💰 ## Germination Week | A New Adventure Begins Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to the beginning of another journey. For this run, I've decided to slightly change the way I document my grows. Due to the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype will now receive its own dedicated diary instead of grouping multiple plants together. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development in as much detail as possible while selecting the best photographs from each week. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To document the entire journey honestly from seed to harvest, sharing observations, successes, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. Today, we begin following Cash Express Pheno B. --- ## Every Journey Starts With a Seed No matter how many grows we complete, there is always something exciting about starting a new seed. A tiny shell. A hidden blueprint. A completely unknown future. This particular journey follows Cash Express from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. As always, I will do my best throughout this diary to explain not only what I am doing, but also why I am doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. Every phenotype has its own personality. Every plant teaches something. And every run becomes part of a larger learning experience. --- ## Germination With the Cannakan System To start this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For those unfamiliar with it, the Cannakan is a compartmentalized germination container designed to keep multiple cultivars organized while maintaining a stable environment. Each section can be individually labeled, making it easy to keep track of genetics when working with several varieties simultaneously. The seeds were placed inside using nothing more than plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. Approximately 24 hours later, healthy taproots had already emerged and the seeds were ready for the next stage. Exactly what we like to see. --- ## Why Plain Water? One question that frequently appears during germination is why I choose not to feed the seedlings immediately. The answer is simple. The seed already contains everything it needs to begin life. Nature has already packed the energy reserves necessary for those first crucial days. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to do what it was designed to do naturally. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. --- ## First Experience Using Coco Starter Plugs This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs. The plugs were thoroughly saturated with water and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability. The germinated seeds were carefully inserted into the plugs and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome did not remain necessary for long. Within less than 24 hours the seedlings had already emerged and were showing signs of healthy development. At that point, they were transplanted directly into small containers filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions were intentionally kept simple. Temperatures remained around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. While some growers prefer keeping seedlings inside high-humidity domes for extended periods, I personally prefer allowing them to adapt relatively early to the environment they will actually experience during growth. The objective is adaptation rather than dependence. Air movement remains extremely gentle at this stage. Just enough to keep the air fresh without placing unnecessary stress on young seedlings. --- ## Heat Mat Temperatures The propagation mat was operating around 40°C. While this number may appear high initially, it is important to remember that the heat source itself must operate above the desired root-zone temperature in order to compensate for environmental losses. The seedlings are not exposed directly to 40°C. Instead, the mat provides the energy necessary to maintain a warm and stable rooting environment, encouraging fast and healthy germination. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination is intentionally soft. Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels yet. The goal is healthy establishment rather than aggressive growth. Once these young plants become properly established, they will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the real adventure begins. We will begin discussing PPFD and light intensity in greater detail during the coming weeks as the plants become capable of utilizing stronger light levels efficiently. --- ## First Observations So far, everything is progressing exactly as hoped. Fast germination. Healthy taproots. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And most importantly: A strong start. At this stage, every plant is still a mystery waiting to unfold. That uncertainty is part of what makes growing so fascinating. Every seed carries possibilities that cannot be fully predicted. And that is exactly why we document the journey. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the next weeks we will begin following Cash Express Pheno B through the first stages of development. We'll explore: - Root establishment - Early structure - Environmental management - Watering strategies - Light intensity - Growth observations - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype decides to reveal Because no matter how many times we start a seed, every grow still feels like opening a new book. And this is only the first page. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone joining along for another adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

Defoliated yesterday. Not up to the screen yet, and I'm impatient. If it's not there next week, I'm going to raise up the pots. When I switched to 12/12 I also began spraying the taller plant in the dirt pot with colloidal silver. Soon that pot will leave for the honeymoon suite.

Week 16! Week 8 of flowering. She is foxtailing on the topmost buds due to light stress. I measured 90k lux(!) at some buds, which is way too much (she got a little out of hand during the stretch, and grew way too tall) She is drinking less and less water and eating less nutrients. I think she is in the harvest window now, even though she is sprouting lots of new pistils. I will cut down and hang to dry next week, in about 5/6 days. Excited!! EDIT: BANANA ALARM Found a banana. There is probably more of them that I can't see because the lower canopy is so packed. Unsure if to harvest now or not. As it is late in flower I don't know if quality will suffer because of a few more days with herming. Opinions? EDIT II: BUD ROT As I inspected the plant today I saw a dead leaf on one of the tops, which I was able to pull right off. Turned out there was bud rot inside the bud. I cut the bud off. Will harvest later today or tomorrow.

Day 22 : Today was repotting day! I prepared my living soil demetheart system, I added terralba products and dynomyco mycorrhizae! I added molasses mixed with reverse osmosis water, elycitor and humic and fulvic acids! my tco is in preparation for 24 hours, I use the tco pack from terralba, to which I add many elements and bacteria Hollywood x white runtz is in great shape! nothing to say Day 28 : Here is the end of week 4, everything is going very well!! I will carry out the topping on day 29 and incorporate the TCO + defoliation!! this variety is very vigorous, very compact and has small internodal spaces! but I have a good feeling, it seems resistant to stress! we will see a few days after the topping

Week 8 of flowering, 18 overall. Harvest time is coming soon, most trichomes are cloudy. Smell is potent at touch buy doesn't go very far, strangely despite having beautiful trichomes it doesn't fill the tent with smell.

My girl is growing beautifully and I am sending her into flower tomorrow.

60x60 cm tent in a 1920's peek-in-closet Oversized vent for silence High power DIY LED True SoG 12/12 from seed with 15 plants in 2L pots Watering all plants in bottom tray with 30% of total pot size (10L) WEEK 1 DAY 1 - Germinated in paper towel DAY 3 - Planted into pots + Lights ON at 125w DAY 5 - All plants have broken soil DAY 7 - Slight stretch - Light at 185w WEEK 2 Two of the Iced Out are lagging behind, others are on point - I'm trying to push light and nutes to the max. Extraction fan (AC infinity Cloudline T6) on level 2. DAY 13 - First full watering (10L) with 20 ml Canna Terra Vega DAY 14 - Circulation fan turned on (low) during lights on WEEK 3 Good growth, two Iced Out still lagging DAY 18 - Light at 225w, Extraction fan on level 3 during lights on DAY 20 - 2nd watering, 8L with 30ml Vega + Light at 250w DAY 21 - On point, mostly :) Could've pushed nutes a bit more from the go WEEK 4 DAY 24 - So far this week I'm just kicking back and watching them do their thing. The two lagging Iced Outs are trying to catch up. DAY 26 - Watering 10L with 50 ml Vega (one day too late...) + light on 300w (max) DAY 28 - 4 weeks from popping the seeds, looking good except for the two Iced Outs, one of them is trying to get with the program, the other... Well, some plants are just pricks. WEEK 5 I think this is the week we'll see them take off :) DAY 29 - Plants are starting to show sex, removed 2 Urkle Mints males, the other two are females, the rest are fems so we're down to 13 female plants total with only a single weakling DAY 29 - Watering 8L with 50ml Vega (shouldn't have been later than today!) DAY 33 - plants exploded over the last 4 days and most are stretching and starting to flower DAY 33 - Watering 10L with 60ml Vega (feeding Vega once or twice more then we switch to Flora) DAY 35 - Just cruisin' 😎 WEEK 6 Lots of stretch the past week, flowers are setting in, the laggy Iced Out was culled, 3 plants are a bit behind the others.. DAY 36 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 39 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 42 - Defoliation WEEK 7 DAY 44 - Watering 10L with 50ml Vega DAY 47 - Switching to flowering nutes - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores WEEK 8 Had to break the stem on the stretchy Sugar Cane to keep it low enough DAY 51 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 54 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores WEEK 9 Starting to chunk and frost up. The 2 Urkle Mints regs are really small and slow but flowering, the slow Iced Out just started flowering and probably won't add up to much by the time the next grow needs to start. Platinum Jelly, Frosted Apricots, and Platinum Terple are looking really good, I knew PJ would kill DAY 57 - Watering 10L with 60ml Flores DAY 61 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores DAY 61 - Defoliation WEEK 10 DAY 65 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 DAY 69 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 15ml PK 13/14 WEEK 11 DAY 72 - Watering 10L with 50ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 DAY 75 - Watering 10L with 40ml Flores + 20ml PK 13/14 (Last feeding)

First week of flowering! I chose to also do some lst on this lady, a bit of a different approach. She survived a couple of very warm days(32°C). The lower leaves started to die off so I used some more nutes. Watered with 2l(nutes), 1,5l(no nutes) and 2l(nutes). She is starting to smell a bit also, looking forward to seeing the buds!

finally have some time for my plants. i will upload some photos and videos this week! ------------- updated again i spotted male flower on one of the branches removed it immediately (it was immature), after removal i peeled it in other room with gloves and was sure it was 100% male flower because it was not like calyx inside. its the 2nd time i find male flower on plant number 1, very strange i never saw plant only popping one random male flower. i thought plant would just be hermie and it would have a lot of male flowers. the plant is 100% female but popped random male flower again. It is late flower of this strain and i think i can handle this problem and finish that plant. Any expert ideas? any of readers encountered this problem? p.s. sorry for bad english, it is not my native.

War ein Fest🤙 hat wirklich Spaß angemacht die Damen haben alles gegeben und sind mega resistent gegenüber Mehltau und Kälte. Generell begeistert von OGStrains aber dieses Kultivar ist on point ☮️

Looks like the streching is just about done. some nice buds are forming all over but i cant really tell if it will be verry productive yet. The flowers seem somewhat dense, that is a nice change fron the usual airy buds. I am feeding acording to a chart i found... But i dont think i will go above what i am giving now. The plan now is to feed at this rate till second to last week, then lower the amount of nutrients before flushing for the last week. Any input or comments are welcome. Things i should do aswell as things i should not.

We’ve reached Day 56 of bloom. The Papayton #3 is showcasing a spectacular "black autumn" fade, with fan leaves turning a deep charcoal-violet, making the frost-covered buds stand out brilliantly. The resin production has hit its peak; the buds are incredibly sticky, feeling like superglue to the touch. Due to rising outdoor temperatures and tent peaks of 29°C, I’ve strategically dialed back the Sanlight to 80%. This preserves the sensitive terpenes and allows the lower flowers to ripen steadily without stressing the main colas.

Loved the strain she was super strong attacked by a cat a cuple of times and she really grow well after that 62cm so yes, I think is strong, she smells like cream and fruis i dry her for 4 days with herbdryer i was fast bit didnt hold the smell , the yield was very good to 34 grams ready for the jars, I took some lower buds and smoke them , the flavor is just how she smells , like cream with fruit tones that come and go wile the cream sensation stays in your mouth, i love this kinda flavors , the effects are active at the beginning with a rush of energy ,but if you stop then relaxing is coming like you want to see a movie and eat a lot ahahha well thats my first impression i know the smell and taste is going to get better with time so for now this is what i can say , what a good strain fast Buds!💚👌🏻🌲👐🏻👊🏻

05/17 - received last "week 4" nutrient mix. Next watering will introduce overdrive. Buds are looking a little smaller than expected - especially that the Northern Lights is a 6 to 7 weeks. Will most likely be pushing right to 7 maybe 8. 05/24 - May have mislabeled Bubblegum and Northern lights; Based on the "bubbled gum" being clearly more mature than the other 2 and I had some seed dropping issue I thought I had cleared up. It is what it is - but one plant has much more orange hairs than the other 2, and I had 1 "fast version" The Northern Lights. Top nugs on "Bubblegum" are nice and tight, fed last nutrients on 05/24 - will start flush on next watering. Trichomes seems to be clouding up - generally speaking. The "northern lights" and Pink Berry will keep on AN feed schedule - possibly to 9 weeks. (there's virtually no browning hairs at the start of week 6).

Nice!

A very colorful plant with some thick trichomes. She’s surviving in the solo cup well! I’m going to begin flushing with water and endgame microbes this week.

Since I can no longer get the humidity below 58% and the rust spots on some of the sugar leaves are getting bigger, I decided to harvest . Unfortunately I couldn't wait for the perfect time, so luckily I don't have any clear trichomes , about 75% cloudy ones and the rest amber. 67 Day's from Seed to Harvest

Je commence le rinçage, j'arrive au bout 😁 encore 10j environ 😁😁😁 Une longue attente ( 16 semaine !!! )
