Check out the video! 7 weeks of flowering have passed. Tops are getting really heavy, I might have to buy bamboo support sticks soon. Resin production is insane as you can see. There was mold in one of the head buds and I had to remove a golfball-sized chunk. Some insect made its way in, died there and started rotting. I struggle to keep the humidity down and now I am watering every second day only. And i bought a third fan (typhoon) that blows warm air from the ceiling above the lamp back onto the tops. wish me luck for the last 4 weeks

🌱 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. 🌱💚

Nov.8 - Watered girls 250mL each, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each plant Nov.9 - Moved these girls into Vivosun tent under Phlizon 1200w light from a Marz Hydro tent 5x5 with Marz Hydro ts 1000 light. We needed to move these girls to this tent and have our DWC in the bigger tent so the DWC plants don’t get too hot at the bottom *once girls were transported to new tent the leaves turned to curl and lift upwards, the light is on veg and is 24” high Nov.10 - Watered girls 250mL each, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each plant Nov.10 - Decided we don’t like the blurple light and took one of our Mars Hydro lights from our big tent and switched it Nov.11 - Watered each plant, 500mL, 1mL of each nutrient. Our girls drank soo fast so we are bumping it up a bit Nov.12 - Our girl #1’s leaves are a little droopy and are looking a bit weird in some spots (darker green and almost wrinkled). Our girl #2 though is going great and we started some LST training on her today. Let her growww Nov.14 - Started our girl #1 on LST her leaves are much happier now! Ohhh boy #2 is sprouting so nice she’s starting to fill out so well and she just blossomed once we started LST, she was facing upwards in less than 24h!! Nov.15 - Our girls are thriving so I wanted to FIM #2 and my boyfriend wanted to Top girl #1 Let’s see how these girls groooww Nov.15 - Watered each girl 250mL and 0.25 mL of each nutrient we are going to water them just enough to soak into the ground every day for them to soak up as much nutrients and drink as possible without over watering.

Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 103 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed in order (starting with BioGrow and finishing with CalMag) and then pH'd to 6.3. She has bulked up really well and her main stem now requires a little bit of support! She is still bulking in her some of lower bud sites, and has not yet had a colour change, so I will continue to water her with full nutrients until this happens, or when her trichomes start to turn amber 👍🏻 She is so tall that she might need to be harvested in two phases, just to give her lower bud sites more time with higher PPFD. I'll have to manage her nutrients differently than normal, as she won't get a flush for her first phase harvest... I'll figure it out! Most people agree that reducing Nitrogen in the nutrients is enough to remove toxins that affect the flavour and potency of her bud.

Hey Guys, this week my girls are showing a great sign of happiness, I cant see any deficiencies or over feeding problem! Leaves are very healthy and strong! I think Im getting a good results from 3 of them. Although it is my first grow and some experienced ppl and ppl on the internet said not to do all of the trainings, but im very glad that i did so... my girls are autos but im guessing i’ll get a good yield after all. I hope you agree with me. i have attached a video from inside my tent! I hope you like it. Happy growing

05/09/18 - Everything’s looking good so far had to tie some more wire around the stems. I’ve replaced canna boost with terpinator and should hopefully getting my big bud coco tomorrow and start adding that to the mix 🏻 06/09/18 - added some big bud into the mix this afternoon let’s hope the buds start chunking up. 08/09/18 - seen some brownish spots appearing on girl #1 And #3 and not on #2 yet but I’ll be keeping an eye out. 09/09/18 - brown spots have seemed to come to a hault not seen anymore progression , I’ve upped the terpinator from 2ml too 4ml per litre and also removed rhizotonic (ran out to be honest) and cal mag has went up to 1.5ml per litre. 💧💧💦

F week 3. It gets really bushy. I had to do a second defoliation. At this point everything seems to go well.

The plant was tied extremely low and the net was stretched. The plant was also repotted in an air pot.

Plants seem to be doing good and haven’t gotten stressed so I decide they’re good to top. Just took them off with my fingertips but I missed on a couple so that was cool to see the difference between FIM and topping. Please make sure your humidity is good everyone and don’t overwater. It started to obviously affect the growth of the plants from this point on imo

This has been a dream to grow the only reason I marked it as neutral and not easy because of it being such a flowery bub.So you just had to keep an eye on the humidity apart from that she stood up to everything even when I was starving her from Calmag 😂🤷 Can't wait to be back with the smoke report

well well well we have 157 grams, I know they don't look it but are like little rocks, Zero popcorn ...Well happy about that 😄I certainly wasn't expecting her to cross 100g mark but she surprised me. what a plant to grow man ! 😍 its been amazing start to finish with this one. No hard work, no fuss. couldn't quiet give her more darkness at the end as planned due to the other white widow (pheno#2), it had 3 weeks to go yet, didn't want to disturb her. the clone I took off the harvested WW, is 3 feet tall now. Healthy Mum with a green gelato, Next run is SOG Green gelato + White widow !! can't wait 😶 Smoke is clean. Citrus and piney with hints of sweet gassy under tones. Effect starts soon enough, giggles and munchies an then off to peaceful sleep . Thank you everyone who checked it out, liked and commented. Its more fun this way 😎 I hope you all enjoy the pics. Cyall next time, stay safe

Pretty good week overall! Day 80, I am posting a little early to coincide with my expected harvest in 2 weeks, and because today I officially started the flush! At this point I am anticipating the harvest between 5 and 14 days from now, depending on how quickly the buds finish ripening up. I am guessing the taller plant has about 75% red hairs and over 50% cloudy trichomes at this point. The shorter plant is slightly behind with maybe 40% of her hairs being red and maybe a third of the trichomes are cloudy. They have made a lot of progress over the past week, so🤞 they will continue that trend. Did a pretty decent defoliation on the shorter plant, due to some fan leaves that were blocking light from the lower canopy turning yellow. I have decided to try molasses with my flush water, hopefully that will improve my final product. One final note is the smell.... it is considerably stronger this time than either of my first 2 grows. Typically I do not bother with a carbon filter, but the smell was so strong it leaked in from my garage and permeated my entire house! So I added filter (and a very strong candle) and it seems to have helped the problem. Super excited for the harvest, will definitely keep everyone posted!
