Better to be behind than ahead week 8/9 Veg/Flower

Lowered lights to 50% and raised them to 26 in.

They are getting very big and

Despite her flaws due to my own fault she was giving me a real cheese smell but now the wedding cake comes through and sweetens it up. She smells amazing

Great little strain Growing well nothing to complain about it’s up there with my top growers out of 25 plants it’s up there what’s the top five strongest so happy about that should be a good little plant I went ahead and topped this plant I like to top my plants early or at the third node I get good plant structure and it ends up being a nice bushy plant if u look at my other grows you will see my grow technique I do a lot of topping and a bit of LST and some HST tying down branches and stuff like that till I get that nice round plant look it all start here at the first topping to get the bushy look

Day 33-40 (May 24th-May 31st) (Day 34) I just found a herm branch on the tight blueberry pheno. It looks like a random pollen sack opened right above a lower branch. I removed the sack but I saw a small amount of dust fall onto one of the lower branches. I’m going to leave it to see if it will pollinate that small branch at all. I spent a good 5 minutes looking closely for bananas or claws but couldn’t find anymore. The main bud is clearly unaffected so I will just leave it unless it is visibly seeding itself. Too bad because I’m really excited for this plant. (Day 36) Not a lot has happened since I flushed them. Growth actually looks healthy and I don’t see any deficiencies on anything yet. (Day 37) Both of these badazz cheese phenos are picture perfect and easily hold up against Canadian and California quad grade. I might try to reveg them at the end and take some clones. They have this unique pungent, grassy, sour milk smell that is just wonderful. The density and bud structure is looking great too. This whole plant will probably take 3 minutes to trim if that. (Day 38) Just found a banana on the shitty blueberry pheno. This pheno is trash and I would honestly throw it away if it didn’t mess up the 3 perfect rows. It has almost no frost, no smell, is airy and has bad structure. I’ve actually never seen a plant with such little frost. Even outdoors. (Day 39) I think most of this tent will be done by day 60 but I will probably ride it out until day 70+. I don’t think the blueberries or the jacks will fill out very much either way but taking it too day 70 will ensure maximum production from each plant.

This is my first ever grow I have decided to go for Cash Crop from Cream Of The Crop Seeds and have made myself a DIY Aero/Hydroponic system from a few bits I picked up from site, B&Q and a pet shop so it will be interesting to see how it turns out! Happy growing 🌱

Greetings, fellow ninja enthusiasts! Get ready for another exciting update on our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run. Week 6 has been a whirlwind of growth and training, and our Tangie is shaping up to be a true ninja superstar! First, let's talk about the transplant. Our Tangie has outgrown her previous home, so I fearlessly transferred her to a spacious 25-liter fabric pot. With the help of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix, I ensured a smooth transition, providing her with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to establish a strong root system. It's like giving her a ninja squad of underground helpers! To support her growth and development, I mixed 75 grams of Aptus All-in-One Pellets into the soil. These pellets are like ninja power capsules, packed with essential nutrients that will fuel her journey to greatness. With each watering, she'll receive the perfect dose of nourishment, ensuring optimal health and vitality. But that's not all! My trusty Lego Ninja buddies have been by my side throughout the process. They provide moral support and keep the ninja vibes strong in the grow room. Who knew little plastic warriors could be such great companions on this green adventure? After the transplant, it was time to introduce our Tangie to the art of scrogging. I installed a scrog net, creating a framework for her to weave her way through. It's like a ninja obstacle course, challenging her to grow horizontally and maximize her bud production. She's already showing off her impressive moves, filling up the space with her graceful and sexy growth. Of course, proper nutrition is vital for our Tangie's ninja training. I've been using Aptus Holland Veg Watering Mix, enriched with the goodness of All-in-One Liquid. This dynamic duo ensures she receives the perfect blend of macro and micronutrients, giving her the strength and energy to become a legendary ninja warrior. As she continues her ninja journey, our Tangie is bathed in a PPFD of 500. These photons are like her ninja training partners, encouraging robust photosynthesis and explosive growth. With each photon absorbed, she becomes more formidable, ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead. In summary, Week 6 has been a thrilling chapter in our Lego Ninja Tropical Tangie Run. With a successful transplant, the magic of Aptus products, the support of our Lego Ninja buddies, and the installation of the scrog net, our Tangie is on her way to becoming a true ninja warrior. Stay tuned for the next update, where we'll dive deeper into the ninja training techniques and witness the unfolding of our Tangie's ninja powers. Until then, keep cultivating with joy, embrace the ninja spirit, and remember that every plant has the potential to become a botanical ninja superstar!

Day 32, I deleafed a couple days ago once I first seen flowering starting.

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.

The time has come to pass for this super cool Red poison auto from Sweet seeds. The one bud beauty has been fun from the start. It took as much time trying to figure out what 16oz was in English and then actually find a 473ml cup, as it took this girl to germinate. I've mentioned before it was a picture entry from this this comp previous that drew me to grow diaries in the first place. (Yes I'm a bud slut, don't judge) Back to miss Red P, she has taken the usual beating of me forgetting to water and feed a few days, a neglect that all my plants enjoy at some stage of their lives. She started life in a converted shoe cupboard grow thing and ended her weeks in the main converted wardrobe where alongside the usual cheap LEDs she has had a few doses of the old UVB 10 reptile light. *Giving her a fantastic sugar looking crystal coating. My opinion through some research and personal experimentition* Although nuits problems showed in her leaves in the second half of her growing life and some forgeful watering, they produced some stunning, ever changing colours, which were ironically a nice change to see from the regular grows of green and would probably have been more concerned if it was happening to one of the other girls. The Purple to Red coloured main bud is bigger than the cup itself and weighs a ton. I had to put support in last week to hold her upright. Her leaves look fake and plastic as my wife commented, true too which makes for a nice look I've never seen before. perfect timing on the grow time although I could have harvested earlier to be fair but the bud just kept getting bigger and well, you know. .. As of writing I've not posted the root pics but will soon.. . Honest... I just like looking at her for now.. . Every now and then a quick admiring close up look at them buds..... I just don't want to part with her yet ok. give me time!

02/01/2021 Going to sprout my last 2 Bluedreamatic seeds from (fast buds). Will be sprouting in mini greenhouse on heat mat. Once seedlings are ready they will be moved under 1000w MH for veg and flowering. 10+hours later they are on bottom of water and time for paper towels in baggie. 02/03/2021 1 seed sprouted and I dropped the other in soil 🙏 I hope because it disappeared! So got at least one Bluedreamatic on the way hoping to see other one sprout in mixing tray. 02/05/2021 She's above ground! Day #1 , currently under 150w compact flourecent 3 way bulb when first true leaves form (Not single finger let)I will start veg cycle under 1000w MH see you in 3-4 days for weekly update. topped seedling pot with vermiculite 1/2-3/4 inches leaving the cotdtyledons 1/2-3/4 inches above surface. Roots should fill up this container quickly, moved under1000w MH light for vegging. Seedling is 3-4 ft away from light but also off to the side no serious heat just about room temperature. I could not feel heat from light where I put seedling, comfortable on your skin is good for plants. 02/11/2021 It's day #6 above the soil, she is doing well already grown 2" above where I topped with vermiculite. At lights out I put her in humidity dome with my tomato seedlings main area of grow gets very cool at night,so I try to keep her at a better temp 72°f.

Not a lot to say apart from both plants going a ok and humidity is where I want it now so hopefully I will be having a decent first crop of biscotti weed too smoke for my medicinal purposes i.e glaucoma he he ha ha, counting the days I can smoke my first grow🤞🙏😄💯

FBA2505 is doing a lot better after the change of nutrition. She has made some good growth. Looks like she is about to go to flowering soon. Thank you Medic Grow, Xpert Nutrients, Athena, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Good week but I don’t think 😬Im getting any pollen this run. I think the silver in old. I don’t know but the plants no pollen. Jelly cake is a cross breed of wedding cake (mother) grape ape auto (father)

Somebody opened a bag of berry jolly rancher gummies? 🤣
