They have all exploded with pistils this week! Getting excited to see these babies swell up with flowers! I love this living soil tent, it just does so much better than individual pots 💪

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Khalifa Genetics, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Pianta WOW, non ci sono parole per descrivere questa bellezza, davvero una delle migliori genetiche che abbia mai provato!!! La consiglio a tutti ma occhio perchè la ccoltivazione richiede cura maggiore!! . Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Upgraded my grow light. Did a little LST. So far its looking good. The GG4 is really slow though. But again from my research strains like this start slow but they are robust in the stretching phase soooo I will let her do her thing. On to the next week.

I grew Tangerine Dream under HLG Rspec 240W for the whole grow except the last 2 weeks. I am very impressed by the size and density of the colas. Tangerine Dream has the biggest colas out of the 3 strain grown. The final space occupied by tangerine dream 2ftx2ft. Downside is long flowering time and heavy colas that needs support. This strain responds well to mainlining, needs lots of space and uneven height main branches will result in uneven canopy. The colas are not homogeneous. The yield was very satisfying and turned out more that I expected. Thanks for the support everybody 🙏🏽👍🏽 Keep growing

5/14- Buds are getting fat - some are starting to droop. The Calcium issue is resolved and feeding pH balanced water and not switching with well seems to have helped. Hopefully we can stay stead to harvest. Noticing some light burn so will have to potentially keep an eye on dialing back the lights a bit.

Están formando sus preflores y se les ve buen color, no presentan carencias,el agua 💧 de tiego tiene un ph 6 .

Diese Woche haben sich nochmal schön Knospen und Nebentriebe gebildet sie schlucken viel Wasser und sie machen sich gut hoffe die Knospen werden fetter. Werden bald anfangen zu spülen

On the first day of week 4 I did FIM on the plant at 6 node. Not sure if I overdid it and accidentally top her instead of FIM but we will see how it progresses Up to this point the plant has been growing very strong and healthy almost as fast as Autos I have grow before. Day 22 the plant doesn't seem stressed out at all and in fact is pumping New Growth right away I thought it was going to be sad for a day or two but no way the genetics are very strong the plant is very vigorous . Day 24 I did some minor defoliation to allow the light to penetrate everywhere in the plant. Also looks like the fim was a failed and end up topping instead I will continue to update thank you for reading and have a happy grow.

Easy peezy

UPLOADING

10/28 - Pushing this update three days early since much has changed. Did a solution change earlier today to the new mix (as noted) which settled in about 740ppm (570ppm nutrients, 1.14ec + tap). After approximately eight hours (including a dark cycle), she registered 720ppm, but we will see how she swings over the next few days. The other lady in the video was given the same nutrient solution at the same time and is now showing some dark buildup on her roots that this Amnesia XXL Auto doesn't have. Her growth has been fantastic so far and she is responding well to the nutrients. I am excited to see how this goes considering this is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna Gro. Any comments, questions, observations, or concerns are always welcome. Happy Growing! Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a preventative for any potential root issues. Edit: 10/31 - Removed two large fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. PPMs have slowly climbed up to 750. Lowered to 700 with pH'ed water. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised to 18" above canopy.

At day 22, the girls has cut their water consumption by over 60%. the strech is definitely over. The buds are now swelling. The terpenes are showing themselves.

t's really huge to be an autoflowering I put the photo of the base to show the ramifications as they start ... the scent is not very strong but it is pleasantly fruity just pass the hand near a top to smell it

H1, Topman! 840 greeting you! A little more time passed. Since the previous post, ~20-30% fan leaves have been defoliated from above and unpromising lower levels. The volume of incoming water resources has been doubled. Sweet ZZ eats everything she is given, all 1200ppm...(tried 1500ppm - we will increase to these levels by adding 20-25% of the entire feeding line) So, check [Sweet ZZ] progress movie 🎥

Day 65 Update: Watered both plants with almost a gallon until runoff. Plant #2's water was dosed with Terpinator at 25ml/gal. 11 days left of flushing on Plant #1. This will be Plant #2's last nutrient watering, as she will start the flushing process next watering. Also added two yoyo hangers and two stakes to Plant #2 as her branches are getting heavy (not complaining 🤷‍♂️) Day 68 Update: Starting flush on Plant #2 today. Plant #1 has 8 days left of flushing. Watered both plants with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff.

These guys seem to have some stunted growth from being in that shitty rock wool dish setup I had but they are making up for it now that they are in the air pots. I transplanted them into sunshine #4 because my other plants have had problems with N tox in coco loco, the only other soil mix I have...probably won’t ever be using fox farm soil again. Too expensive for what it is and it’s a pain in the ass dealing with nute probs. Day 8: into the new grow tent tomorrow

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Dont know why but while i was defoliating the Chemdog smelled a little bit like soap haha. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

Esa familia, actualizamos las northern light xL, hay una de las 3 que destaca del resto por tamaño y flores, pintan muy bien, se ve buen color y bastante vigorosas, tutelamos 1. Bajamos humedad y temperatura, a estas alturas estamos pensando en el siguiente proyecto con varias geneticas de zambezaseeds.

Week 2 - Cash Express (Pheno B) 💸🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For those joining us for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars and phenotypes grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary so we can document individual development, compare expressions, and follow each plant’s unique journey from seed to harvest. Rather than combining multiple plants into a single report, Pheno A and Pheno B are documented separately. Even when two plants come from the same pack, they often express themselves differently, and that’s exactly what makes these side-by-side comparisons so interesting. This run remains under a 12/12 light schedule from the very first day of life. The goal is not to maximize vegetative size but to explore genetic diversity, plant structure, vigor, and flowering characteristics while maintaining a manageable and educational garden. Week 2 Overview The second week has been another excellent one across the entire room. Growth rates have accelerated noticeably compared to Week 1, root systems continue expanding below the surface, and plants are beginning the transition from seedlings into young vegetative plants. Lighting intensity has now been increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s throughout the room, giving the plants additional energy while remaining well within a comfortable range for this stage of development. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Watering remained intentionally controlled. Each plant received approximately 250 ml on Day 8 and another 250 ml on Day 11. Nutrient levels were gradually increased throughout the week as the entire room continued responding positively to feeding. Week-ending values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The response has been excellent throughout the garden, with healthy color, vigorous growth, and no signs of nutrient stress. Cash Express Pheno B Living next to a sibling that seems determined to become the biggest plant in the room is not always an easy job. Cash Express Pheno A may currently be winning the size competition, but Pheno B is quietly building an impressive case of her own. While slightly smaller than her sister at this stage, she remains healthy, vigorous, symmetrical, and extremely attractive overall. One thing that stands out immediately is the consistency of her development. The plant continues producing healthy leaves with excellent coloration and balanced structure throughout the canopy. Growth remains steady, internodal spacing looks clean, and every new set of leaves arrives looking stronger than the last. She may not be racing ahead like her sibling, but she is progressing with confidence and stability. And sometimes those are exactly the traits growers appreciate most later in a run. Development Notes Week 2 brought significant progress for this phenotype. Five-finger leaves are now becoming established, new growth is arriving rapidly, and the plant is building a strong framework for the weeks ahead. The canopy remains balanced and symmetrical while maintaining a healthy green color across all visible growth. What I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is that she feels very comfortable in her own lane. She is not trying to compete. She is not trying to be the largest. She is simply growing exactly as she wants to grow. And she is doing a beautiful job of it. While her sister attracts attention through sheer vigor and size, Pheno B stands out through balance, consistency, and elegant development. A Little Macro Photography Fun One of the highlights of this week’s update came during a macro photography session. Tiny water droplets resting on the leaves created beautiful reflections of the LED lighting above, producing some fascinating close-up images. These little moments are easy to miss during daily garden work, but slowing down and looking closely often reveals an entirely different world hidden within the canopy. The reflected light patterns inside the droplets created some surprisingly artistic images and offered a fun reminder that there is beauty to be found at every scale inside a grow room. Not every photograph needs to be about measuring growth. Sometimes it’s simply about appreciating the details. Mr. Baggy Report Mr. Baggy continues his important role as Chief Observation Officer of the 8×8 Adventure. Current duties include: • Supervising daily garden activities • Inspecting plant development • Monitoring environmental conditions • Participating in weekly photography sessions • Providing emotional support to nervous growers His performance review remains pending. Looking Ahead If development continues at its current pace, next week should bring: • Continued canopy expansion • Larger five-finger leaves • Additional node development • Stronger stem growth • Increasing phenotype expression • Further separation between sibling growth patterns It will be particularly interesting to see whether Pheno B maintains her more compact and balanced structure as the project moves forward. Final Thoughts Week 2 leaves me very happy with Cash Express Pheno B. Healthy growth. Excellent color. Strong development. Balanced structure. While she may currently be slightly smaller than her sister, she continues demonstrating exactly the qualities growers love to see at this stage of life. Strong roots. Healthy leaves. Steady progress. And absolutely no signs of slowing down. Every phenotype tells its own story, and Cash Express Pheno B is already writing a very enjoyable chapter. A huge thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing advice, and supporting the project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and everyone helping make this adventure possible. Most importantly, thank you to the growing community. Your support, knowledge, encouragement, and passion are what make projects like this so enjoyable to document and share. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. Grower Love DD🌱💚

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!
