I'm so excited to see that my last two strawnana are getting very large. I'm super excited to see how fast these twins grow! I've also never had her begin to flower so early and its 100% not because of any issues. Shes in a ten gallon I believe but its only filled to about 7 or so. Check back next week to see just how fast she flowers!!!!! & remember its 4:20 somewhere folks!

Wooooow

Hello growers day 29 with the hulkberry auto what to say about this beautiful girl truly impressive she is a beast her trunk and branches are hulking out she eating everything I give her with ease and iv done some very heavy defo and hasn’t even effected her so happy with her I will carry on doing the same thing hopefully she starts packing out soon that’s all for now until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Cash Express (Plant B) | Week 4 Taking Her Time to Build Something Special Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve unique genetics are growing together under identical conditions while every phenotype receives its own individual diary. This project is all about discovering how different plants express themselves, even when sharing the same environment, feeding schedule, and care. This week belongs to Cash Express – Plant B, and although she’s following the same path as her sister, she’s choosing to walk it at her own pace. While Plant A has already started flirting with pre-flowering, this beautiful lady is still fully focused on building her vegetative structure before making the transition. And honestly… I love seeing those differences. ⸻ 🌿 Life Inside the 8×8 Jungle Everything inside the tent continues running smoothly as the entire garden moves closer to flowering. The ecosystem remains stable, allowing every phenotype to express its own personality without environmental stress influencing the outcome. Healthy airflow, consistent temperatures, and balanced humidity continue creating the perfect conditions for vigorous growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this project is watching twelve different cultivars evolve together while still behaving completely differently. Cash Express B is proving that genetics always have the final word. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This week she continued receiving the same balanced nutrition as the rest of the garden. Feeding Schedule • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Vita Race (foliar) The plants continue responding with lush green foliage, healthy stems, and steady growth, confirming that the feeding strategy remains right where it needs to be. ⸻ 🌱 Growth & Development Although slightly behind her sister in maturity, Plant B has developed into a beautifully balanced plant. Her structure is compact but steadily stretching upward, and she’s beginning to establish herself as one of the taller ladies in the room. Every day she adds a little more height while continuing to strengthen the lower branching that will support future flower sites. Unlike Plant A, I’m not officially calling pre-flower on this phenotype just yet. The growth tips are becoming increasingly active, but she’s still investing most of her energy into vegetative expansion rather than reproductive growth. Sometimes patience produces the biggest surprises later in flower. Her leaf color remains vibrant, stems are becoming thicker by the day, and new growth appears healthy and vigorous across the entire plant. ⸻ ✂️ Low Stress Training Training this week remained gentle and intentional. Leaf tucking and light Low Stress Training continue opening the canopy while allowing more light to reach the developing side branches. She’s responding exactly how I hoped. Each adjustment encourages additional branching without slowing her natural momentum, and the canopy is beginning to widen nicely while maintaining excellent symmetry. Rather than forcing her into shape, I’m simply guiding her and letting her genetics do the rest. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I’ll continue allowing Plant B to dictate the pace. There’s no rush. I’ll keep encouraging lateral growth through gentle LST, continue opening the canopy with occasional leaf tucking, and wait patiently for her to announce the beginning of flowering in her own time. With the way she’s developing now, I expect she’ll reward that patience with a strong, well-balanced canopy ready to support plenty of flowering sites. Every day she’s becoming a little stronger, a little wider, and a little closer to showing exactly what this phenotype has hidden inside. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts This is exactly why I love running phenotype hunts. Two sisters. The same genetics. The same environment. The same feeding schedule. Yet completely different personalities. Cash Express Plant B reminds us that every plant has her own rhythm. She’s calm, methodical, and focused on building a solid foundation before taking the next step. Sometimes those are the plants that surprise us the most when harvest day finally arrives. I’m excited to watch her story unfold over the coming weeks. Thank you all for following this 8×8 Adventure and for joining me on another chapter of this incredible journey. A huge thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving, Zamnesia for supplying the genetics and equipment that make this project possible, and of course to the amazing GrowDiaries community for all the support, inspiration, and shared knowledge. Growers Love and see you all in the next update, where this beautiful lady may finally decide it’s time to join her sister and begin the next stage of her adventure. 🌱💚

За эту неделю он резко дал в рост, замечаю уже плавную подготовку перехода на предцвет, скоро покажет свой истинный пол, пахнет уже с нотками силы, не представляю что будет под конец цвета) эта неделя довольно спокойная, только подгинаю самые высокие и думаю как лучше его по обрезать ветки, так как их очень много, может быть на клоны срежу как раз для аута)

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and things look like she’ll be ready for a chop in two weeks. Giving her straight water from here on out to get all the leftover nutes out of the soil. Day 51 - Thinking this girl is probably down to the last 7-10 days looking at the trichs but if she keeps popping out white pistils, I’ll let her go till that stops. Gave her a heavy feeding of straight water today. Day 52 - Did a bit of defoliating today since she’s getting close to harvest. Want to maximize the light to try and get as much out of her as I can. She’s definitely not a big plant so anything I can do to fatten her up. Day 53 - Looking great, nothing too much to report. Just pulled her out for some daily pics and to check the trichs. They’re mostly cloudy still with some amber in there but she’s still pumping out some white pistils so until that stops, I’m gonna let her go. Day 54 - She’s coming along nicely and looking at her, she might be ready for a chop this weekend. Don’t really see anymore white pistils, they’re all orangish/red and starting to shrivel up. Still gonna let her go until I get what I want out of the trichomes but looking like this weekend but I’ll be checking her trichs daily!! Day 55 - Not sure what I want to do. Looking at her and the trichs, she’s probably ready to chop any day. If I do, I will chop this weekend but just not sure cause it will only be around 60 days from seed and FastBuds says 8-9 weeks so that’s right on par with they’re schedule. I’ll check her out Saturday and see what the trichs look like and if I think she’s ready, she’ll get the chop. Most likely will give her a nice flush with water and foxfarm’s Sledgehammer tomorrow. Day 56 - It’s the end of week 8 and since she’s just about finished, I went ahead and flushed her with 2 gallons of 6.4 pH’d water and 20ML of foxfarm’s sledgehammer so we’ll see how she’s doing this weekend and will most likely chop on Saturday.

Hello yall!! Hope everyone is doing good out there and your plants are thriving. The 2 plants that are pretty much done already are the 2 Dolphin Wax. 🐬 It's pretty awesome to be able to capture 2 such beautiful different plants with 2 beans. The Isorins are doing wonderful. She's thicking up and busting Caylaxs. Starting to catch the fade in the begging of week 7. I'll do some more feeding this week withheld battle axe and the Isorin. I'll feed lightly. Do molasses foop water ph irrated balanced. Every of the day. For the week of 7. Try to keep the flavors locked in. I'll be back after a while updating. Thos are the thricomes of the Dolphin wax @ Day 49 bloom!! Holy smokes that was fast!!! Hoping these other 2 strains take a couple more weeks. Let em get darker and more full of flavors, thricomes and love haha

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis some of its most distinct aromas from citrus and berry, to more earthy tones. Many species of plants produce and emit terpenes in a diurnal, or daily cycle that is regulated by a complex web of signaling. There are also many plants that emit terpenes at night to attract nocturnal pollinators (Marinho et al., 2014346). Regardless of when the terpenes are produced or emitted, these processes are often dependent upon cues derived from natural light/dark cycles via a native circadian clock (Dudareva et al., 2004). Several light-sensitive pigments are involved in these processes of production and emission, and the different photoreceptors are dependent upon different wavelengths of light to be activated or deactivated. Emission of terpenes is a process that is entirely dependent upon phytochromes and red/far-red light cues in most plant species (Flores and Doskey, 2015). For example, repeated light/dark phytochrome signaling is necessary for the emission of terpenes in tobacco plants (Roeder et al., 2007). Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that a lack of red light and phytochrome-mediated light/dark signaling on the part of the plant is responsible for an increase in terpene content in cannabis. The plant continues to synthesize terpenes, but a lack of red light to trigger the Pr-Pfr shift results in a lack of terpene emission by the plant, thus causing the terpenes to accumulate in the maturing flowers.

Plant Mol Biol 65: 107-12 Abstract Sound waves technology has been applied to different plants. It has been found that sound waves were at different frequencies, sound pressure levels (SPLs), exposure periods, and distances from the source of sound influence plant growth. Experiments have been conducted in the open field and under greenhouse growing conditions with different levels of audible sound frequencies and sound pressure levels. Sound waves at 1 kHz and 100 dB for 1 h within a distance of 0.20 m could significantly promote the division and cell wall fluidity of callus cells and also significantly enhance the activity of protective enzymes and endogenous hormones. Sound waves stimulation could increase the plant plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, and amylase activity of callus. Moreover, sound waves could increase the content of RNA and the level of transcription. Stress-induced genes could switch on under sound stimulation. Sound waves at 0.1–1 kHz and SPL of (70±5) dB for 3 h from plant acoustic frequency technology (PAFT) generator within a distance ranged from 30 to 60 m every other day significantly increased the yield of sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato by 30.05, 37.1 and 13.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the yield of lettuce, spinach, cotton, rice, and wheat were increased by 19.6, 22.7, 11.4, 5.7, and 17.0%, respectively. Sound waves may also strengthen plant immune systems. It has been proved that spider mite, aphids, gray mold, late blight and virus disease of tomatoes in the greenhouses decreased by 6.0, 8.0, 9.0, 11.0, and 8.0%, respectively, and the sheath blight of rice was reduced by 50%. This paper provides an overview of literature for the effects of sound waves on various growth parameters of plant at different growth stages. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2095-3119(13)60492-X

*english version below* HydroLab – Woche „0“: Der Startschuss zur Blütephase „Bitte anschnallen – die Versuchspflanzen betreten jetzt die reproduktive Phase.“ Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo Photosynthese auf Wissenschaft trifft und die Pflanzen mittlerweile besser trainiert sind als mein Rücken. Diese Woche war ein echter System-Meilenstein: Letzte Vegi-Woche, Lichtwechsel, Wasserrevolution, Myko-Spa und Stretchvorbereitungen. 🌞 Licht: Die Blaulichter gehen, die Rotlicht-Ära beginnt Seit Donnerstag herrscht im Zelt 12/12 – offiziell Blütezeit. Die blauen Add-Lites wurden verfahrenstechnisch termininiert und durch rote ersetzt. Die neuen IR-AddLites haben außerdem eine Schlüsselfunktion: Sie laufen in den letzten 15 Minuten wie ein botanisches Sonnenuntergangs-Erlebnis für fortgeschrittene Pflanzenpsychologie. Kurz gesagt: 👉 Die Mädels werden jetzt schlafen geschickt wie Royalität. 💧 Wasserchemie: Die Vollentsalzungsanlage ist online Mission abgeschlossen: Die VE-Anlage wurde installiert, kalibriert und erfolgreich mit Triumphmusik eingeschaltet. Seitdem fließt durch das System: ➡️ EC-neutrales Laborwasser ➡️ pH-Perfect arbeitet wie befreit ➡️ Keine Ca/Mg-Überschüsse, keine Schwankungen Das HydroLab ist nun offiziell ISO-zertifiziert für Wasserreinheit, die selbst Kaffee-Nerds neidisch machen würde. Nährstoffversorgung aufgestockt – die Blüte beginnt ernst zu werden Der EC wurde moderat auf 1,5 angehoben, passend zum Stretch-Start. Zusätzlich zu Micro/Grow/Bloom, B52, Bud Candy und Great White gab es diese Woche:🔥 Bud Blood von Advanced Nutrients Ein kaliumreicher Booster, der laut Hersteller „die Blüte früh zündet“. Im Labor beschreiben wir es anders: 👉 „Molekulare Überzeugungsarbeit, damit die Pflanzen endlich tun, was wir wollen.“ Und es funktioniert. Die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits in der Planungsschleife. 🌱 Wurzelstatus – Mykos am Werk Die Wurzeln sehen aus wie: wuschelig cremig üppig voller Mykorrhiza Ein gesundes Myko-Netz ist immer ein gutes Zeichen – gerade beim Living-RDWC, wo die symbiotischen Organismen jetzt richtig Gas geben. 🕸️ Training: Zweites Netz installiert Das zweite Scrog-Netz wurde feierlich eingezogen. Da wir es hier mit einem fast rein sativischen Stretch-Monster zu tun haben, wird das Netz bald nicht nur genutzt, sondern ausgereizt. Die Spitzen schießen bereits motiviert durch das Gitter. Man könnte sagen: 👉 „Das botanische Volleyballfeld ist eröffnet.“ 🎬 Fazit der Woche Vegi erfolgreich beendet Blüte eingeleitet Licht optimiert Wasser perfektioniert Nährstoffe erweitert Wurzeln traumhaft Stretch: „Hold my beer…“ Das HydroLab ist startklar für eine der spannendsten Phasen überhaupt. Wenn diese SLH so weiter macht, wird das Netz in wenigen Tagen aussehen wie ein explodierter Kräuterteppich. ----------------------------------------------- HydroLab – Week 0: Initiating Bloom Protocol “Please fasten your lab coats — the test subjects have entered reproductive mode.” Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants are trained with more precision than Olympic athletes and the line between botany and madness gets thinner by the day. This week marks a major milestone: the final veg week, the light flip, a water revolution, microbial spa treatments, and preparations for the incoming stretch. 🌞 Lighting Update: Goodbye Blue, Hello Bloom Mode As of Thursday, the system is officially running 12/12 — bloom phase initiated. The blue add-on lights have been politely removed from service, replaced with red spectrum units. Also new: IR AddLites, running during the final 15 minutes of the day to simulate a luxurious sunset for plants that take their circadian rhythm very seriously. In short: 👉 The ladies are now being tucked in like royalty. 💧 Water Chemistry Upgrade: The Deionization Unit Is Online This week, the HydroLab achieved a new level of hydration enlightenment: The deionized water system is fully installed and operational. It now feeds the entire RDWC with: EC-neutral lab-grade water perfectly predictable pH behavior zero unwanted minerals zero drift chaos The HydroLab is now officially certified for water purity that would make a barista weep. Nutrient Program Enhanced — Bloom Mode Engaged The EC was raised moderately to 1.5, just enough to fuel the stretch without cooking the roots. On top of the standard AN trio (Micro / Grow / Bloom) plus B52, Bud Candy, and Great White, the lineup now includes: 🔥 Advanced Nutrients – Bud Blood A bloom initiator designed to say: “Stop messing around and start flowering.” Laboratory interpretation: 👉 “Early-phase hormonal persuasion via potassium-rich diplomacy.” Early pistils are already in preflight mode. 🌱 Root Status Report – Mykos Doing Myko Things The roots look glorious: fluffy creamy vigorous thoroughly colonized by mycorrhiza Living RDWC in full effect — the symbiotic crew is thriving. 🕸️ Training Update: Second Scrog Net Installed The second screen is now in place. Given how sativa-dominant this strain is, the stretch is expected to fill the remaining space very quickly. The tops are already pushing upward with purpose. It looks less like a canopy and more like we’re preparing a botanical trampoline. 🎬 Weekly Conclusion Veg phase complete Bloom officially initiated Lighting optimized Water chemistry perfected Nutrients upgraded Roots looking elite Stretch incoming The HydroLab is entering one of the most exciting phases of the run. If this Super Lemon Haze keeps going like this, the scrog will look like an exploding herbal carpet within days.

here we are guys in the middle of week 8. the grow has been pretty good lately, just messed up some refilling but corrected immediately. as you can see from the pictures i did some mild defoliation to expose the lower buds. what do you guys think? to be honest I am pretty proud of the grow the girl looks beautiful. I am thinking about getting a 600w led and probably a bigger tent (100x100x200, 3"x3"x6") as always guys, advices are always welcomed keep growing 👍

One of them could be a keeper.

What can I say that the journal doesn't already. A massive yield for a 1ftx1ft area in my 4x4 tent. Tons of frost. Sticky as possibly can be (my scissors hate me, but love acetone today)

Quinta settimana di fioritura 💪 forza bella mia,vai avanti così e fammi delle belle e grandi pannocchie 🙏🕉️💚💛❤️

Like my sisters in the box, I added Jungle Indabox PH Down nutrients to the girl to prevent soil acidification. The little girl grows beautifully, blooms are done everywhere. I continuously cut the leaves from the bottom. It just makes me happy. 😍

🍬

Everything went according to plan. From germination the plant displayed a very good development. With no training I believe she gave a very good yield. She always looked very strong with no signs of any risk.

✋Ding Dong le Cut a sonné pour les belles demoiselles la semaine dernière après une belle floraison J'adore son feuillage qui à fait une belle sénescence et surtout c'est feuilles légèrement violet 😍 Remplit de trichomes 😍 Partis pour une petite semaine minimum de séchages et en bocaux 😎 Je vous dis à bientôt pour le résultat final 😉

Day 1 of week 2 of flowering! Stoked to see what this week brings 🌱🙌🏼 Day 58! Did some heavy defoliation at the bottom on the leaves that were getting much light anymore Day 59! 25.5” Day 60! Starting to see some action going on Day 61! Starting to see some more flowering but slowly Day 62! Just trying to be patient lol all are coming along nicely and are very healthy Day 63! Today when I went to check on them, the odor was way stronger. Here we goooo!!!! Day 64! Those colors ☺️🌱💚

Que pasa familia, actualizamos la semana de la farm cheese, la trasplantamos a su maceta definitiva, utilizamos sustrato Plagron. Ph controlado en 6,5 humedad algo baja pero pronto pasaremos a floración, temperatura ideal, el led hace si función y aparte no da calor. Los nutrientes los seguimos echando en dosis muy bajas para que no sobre fertilize. Hasta la semana que viene fumetillas.
