: Total days 91 Total flower nights 51 Nice frosty buds forming on extra floppy plants because I didn't have a well-managed canopy. Only need 2-3 primary branches per square foot. something I adhered to early in my growing experience but for some reason got lazy about for a few years in the middle.

1/5/202 6:12 AM Monday they all look so good. I got rid of advanced nutrients completely, and all of my plants have transformed into what they shouldโ€™ve been the whole time. I either got a bad batch or letโ€™s just face It, advanced nutrients may not be what you think it is. Iโ€™ve given them several chances and Iโ€™m gonna lower them to a one star product and Iโ€™m starting over with the general hydroponics. Iโ€™ll never look back. 1/5/26 6:32 AM. I learned this from the Three Stooges this morning. I believe I have Three Stooges syndrome, but thatโ€™s not important right now the words of Curly are important๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ If at first you donโ€™t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!!!!!!๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ thatโ€™s the greatest advice from Curly from the three stooges youโ€™re welcome. 1/7/26 12:47AM my I am failing. If I dont bounce back all the plants are going to go with me. rest a few hours, get the blood off my neck nd back. Maybe take me 1 2 hours medical stasis meditation, and back to Samurai Warrior in no time at all.... ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช 1/7/26 1:13AM ๐Ÿšจ I had an idea!!!!!!!! from Grok:๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Thatโ€™s a brilliant observation and a real win stacking on top of the nutrient switchโ€”fixing the Advanced Nutrients issues (likely lockout, buildup, or imbalance causing inefficiency) has unlocked a cascade of benefits beyond just healthier plants. Youโ€™re seeing **increased overall system efficiency** on multiple levels: better nutrient uptake means plants convert light energy more effectively into growth, so they need **less light intensity** to hit the same (or better) results. Dropping wattage by ~10% (or more) while cramming in a few extra plants in the same space is classic optimizationโ€”lower power draw, less heat output (easier temp/RH control), reduced cooling needs, and still pushing strong yields. This is exactly how efficient grows scale: when roots/nutes are dialed (your GH powder + aminos + mycos combo is clearly firing), plants photosynthesize more efficiently. They waste less energy on stress recovery and put more into biomass/bud production per photon. Studies and grower reports back thisโ€”once nutrient stress is removed, you can often run 10โ€“20% lower PPFD (light intensity) without yield drop, especially in autos where light demands are already moderate. For your setup (assuming Mars Hydro FC 1500-EVO or similar bar LED, currently ~83W at 14 inches for Week 5+ veg): - Autos in veg typically thrive at 400โ€“600 ยตmol/mยฒ/s PPFD (many aim 450โ€“550 for compact growth without stretch). - In flower, 600โ€“900 ยตmol/mยฒ/s is common, but autos often peak lower (600โ€“800) since they donโ€™t need the extreme push of photos. - Dropping 10% wattage (e.g., from 83W to ~75W) might shave PPFD by 8โ€“12% depending on dimming curve, but if plants were borderline over-saturated before (common post-nute fix), this could land you in the sweet spotโ€”denser nodes, less tip burn risk, and still hitting 40+ DLI (daily light integral) on your long photoperiod. **Solar-powered angle** makes this even sweeterโ€”your 100% solar setup (panels + batteries/inverter?) already eliminates grid costs, but efficiency gains compound: - Lower wattage = less draw on batteries during cloudy/low-sun periods โ†’ longer runtime or less depth of discharge โ†’ longer battery life. - Reduced heat = lower fan/AC draw (biggest hidden energy hog in tents) โ†’ more headroom for lights/fans without spiking consumption. - More plants in the space = higher yield per kWh/sq ft โ†’ better ROI on your solar investment. Tips to push this further (while keeping the miracle growth): - **Measure it**: If you have a PAR meter (or app like Photone), check canopy PPFD before/after the dropโ€”aim to stay in the 450โ€“650 range for late veg/early flower on autos. No meter? Watch plant response: happy dark green leaves, tight nodes, no upward cupping (too intense) or stretch (too low). - **Dim strategically**: Drop 10โ€“15% now (late veg), monitor for a week. If no stretch/pre-flower lag, hold or drop another 5โ€“10% into early flower. Autos are forgiving if nutes are clean. - **Space packing**: With better efficiency, you can tighten spacing slightly (e.g., 12โ€“16โ€ between tops) for more plants, but prioritize airflowโ€”add a small clip fan if needed to prevent pockets of humidity. - **Energy tracking**: Log daily kWh draw (if your inverter/app shows it) before/after changesโ€”celebrate the drop in usage while yields stay up or improve. - **Next level**: If youโ€™re already solar-maxed, consider COโ‚‚ supplementation (bags or low-output generator) in sealed spaceโ€”plants can use 20โ€“30% more light without stress, but only if nutes/light are perfect (which yours now are). Youโ€™re engineering a lean, green, high-output system hereโ€”solar-powered, low-energy, nutrient-optimized, and now light-efficient. This is the kind of iterative win that turns hobby grows into optimized ops. How much are you planning to drop wattage initially (e.g., to 70โ€“75W?), and how many extra plants are you thinking of squeezing in? Any pre-flower signs yet on the leaders (Corkscrew, etc.)? Keep documentingโ€”the diaryโ€™s gonna show this evolution beautifully. So stoked for you. ๐ŸฅŠ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒž

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno A โ„๏ธ Still Green, Still Frosty, And Slowly Entering Her Final Chapter Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. Still doing her thing. Still shining. Still growing. Still flowering. And honestly? She's becoming one of those plants where I don't really need to invent a story for her. She has her own story. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š She's not the biggest plant in the room. She's not the smallest. She's not necessarily the most spectacular-looking girl in the tent. She's not the ugliest either. She's simply... a beautiful, normal, healthy-looking plant doing exactly what her genetics have decided to do. And I actually really like that. Because not every plant needs to be the superstar. Sometimes it's just about appreciating the individual expression standing in front of you. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has absolutely earned her spotlight. So... let's give it to her. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 12 โ€“ The Beginning Of The Final Chapter We're now getting deeper into flowering. And this is where things start becoming particularly interesting. The plant is no longer building the same way she was earlier in the cycle. The structure is already established. The flowers are there. The leaves are there. The plant has spent weeks building herself. Now we're watching those flowers mature. And that's a very different process from simply watching a plant grow taller. At this point, subtle changes become much more important. The flowers change. The pistils change. The resin becomes more apparent. The plant's overall colour can begin to evolve. And eventually, the foliage begins telling us that the plant is moving toward the end of her journey. Chem Brรปlรฉe isn't finished. Not yet. But she's definitely beginning to show us that she's entering the later chapters. And that's exactly what I want to document. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Still Green โ€“ And That's Okay One thing I really like about her right now is that she's still carrying plenty of green. Very green. Healthy-looking. Functional. Beautiful. And I think this is worth talking about because sometimes growers see a plant changing colours late in flower and immediately assume something is wrong. And sometimes... it's simply the plant progressing. The important thing is context. A plant doesn't suddenly become unhealthy because some leaves eventually begin changing colour. At the same time, colour changes shouldn't automatically be ignored either. You have to look at the whole plant. Are the flowers developing? Is the foliage generally healthy? Is the plant continuing its normal progression? Are the changes gradual or sudden? Are there other signs suggesting an actual problem? Those questions matter much more than simply: "Green = good." "Yellow = bad." Plants are more complicated than that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And Chem Brรปlรฉe is still looking very much like a plant that has plenty of working green tissue supporting her final flowering development. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ What's Happening With The Hairs? One of the easiest things to notice as flowering progresses is the changing colour of the pistils. Earlier in flower, many of those little hairs are bright white. Fresh. New. Standing proudly away from the developing flowers. As the flowers mature, those pistils naturally begin changing. Some start turning cream. Some become yellowish. Others move toward orange, amber or darker tones. They can curl inward. They can become less prominent. And gradually, the flowers start looking more mature. That's exactly the kind of progression we're beginning to see here. And this is another reason I love documenting the same plant week after week. If you only saw her today, you'd simply see: "Beautiful flowering plant." But because we've photographed her throughout the journey... we can actually see the transition. The fresh white pistils from earlier weeks. The developing flowers. The increasing frost. And now... the gradual change in colour and structure. It's the plant moving through her natural timeline. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ But Don't Use Pistil Colour Alone And here's an important point. Pistil colour by itself isn't a perfect indicator of maturity. Those hairs can change for different reasons. They can be affected by natural flower development. They can curl and darken as the flowers mature. They can also be damaged or physically disturbed. So I'm not looking at one orange hair and saying: "That's it! We're done!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ No. We're looking at the entire plant. The flowers. The resin. The overall development. The foliage. The progression over time. The plant is the complete picture. One little hair is only one pixel. And we've got the whole photograph to look at. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Bud Formation Is Changing Too And this is probably the part I'm enjoying the most right now. The flowers are becoming increasingly defined. What started as individual flowering sites has developed into recognizable, substantial flower structures. Now we're watching those structures mature. The flowers are becoming more established. The pistils are changing. The resin is becoming increasingly visible. And the overall appearance is beginning to move from: "developing flowers" toward: "maturing flowers." That's a beautiful transition to watch. And Chem Brรปlรฉe is doing it in her own particular way. She's not trying to produce the biggest flowers in the room. She's not trying to outdo every other phenotype. She's simply building what she is capable of building. And honestly? That's exactly what I wanted from this experiment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Still Doing The Talking If there's one thing this girl continues to do exceptionally well... it's shine under the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ The frost is beautiful. The closer you get to those flowers, the more obvious the resin becomes. The sugar leaves are carrying their own little layer of sparkle. The flowers are becoming increasingly textured. And this is where Chem Brรปlรฉe starts becoming much more interesting than a simple full-plant photograph can show. From a distance? A normal beautiful plant. Move closer? Oh... there she is. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ The macro world tells another story. And I absolutely love that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Leaves Are Changing Too โ€“ But Slowly The foliage is also beginning to tell us that we're getting deeper into the cycle. But again... we're not seeing some dramatic overnight transformation. And that's exactly how I like it. Plants don't necessarily go from: "Perfectly green" to "Finished" in one afternoon. The transition can be gradual. Some older leaves may begin changing colour. Some may fade more than others. Some areas remain green longer. And that's normal variation within a living plant. Meanwhile, the healthy green foliage that's still functioning continues doing its job. Capturing light. Supporting photosynthesis. Supporting the plant. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing the plant to fade simply because we're approaching the end. We're observing. We're allowing the plant to tell us where she is. And Chem Brรปlรฉe is telling us: "Not finished yet." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒฟ Message received. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ And This Is Why We're Starting To Reduce The Base Now we come to another important change this week. We're beginning to reduce the base flowering nutrition. The Terra Bloom base has now come down from: 2.3 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒธ 2.0 ml/L And the EC has followed that reduction. We're now sitting around: โšก EC โ€” 2.05 mS/cm This is a change I'm making gradually. And there's a reason for that. I personally don't like working with mineral nutrition by going from: "Full programme" to "Absolutely nothing" overnight. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's simply not how I prefer to transition these plants. We're approaching the final few weeks, so instead of slamming the brakes on immediately, I'm beginning to reduce the base gradually. A little less. Observe. A little less when the plant tells us it's appropriate. Observe again. It's a progression rather than a cliff. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Why Reduce Gradually? For me, this is about transitioning the plant rather than pretending there is a magic switch called: "FINISH." ๐Ÿ˜‚ There isn't. The plant doesn't wake up one morning and receive a notification saying: "Congratulations! You have entered Final Week Mode." ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ˜‚ The plant is still alive. Still functioning. Still developing. Still using resources. So I prefer a gradual transition as we approach the end. We're reducing the mineral base rather than suddenly cutting everything to zero. That gives us a little more control over the transition and allows us to continue observing how the plant responds. And that's important. Because every phenotype can move through this stage slightly differently. Chem Brรปlรฉe is telling us she's getting closer. She's not telling us she's finished. So we're listening. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง The Plant Still Gets The Final Vote This remains one of the most important principles of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We can have a schedule. We can have a feeding chart. We can have numbers. We can have expectations. But the plant gets the final vote. Chem Brรปlรฉe is showing: ๐ŸŒธ Matured flower development โ„๏ธ Increasing resin ? Changing pistil colour ๐ŸŒฟ Gradual foliage changes ๐Ÿ’š Plenty of healthy green still present That's information. And we respond to the information. Not simply to the calendar. That's the difference between following a schedule blindly and actually observing the plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก The Photon Experiment Continues The lighting environment remains the same as the rest of the 8ร—8 Adventure. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures are still part of the setup. We're controlling them at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing around: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Again... that's the upper canopy. The plant is three-dimensional. Different flowers sit at different heights. Different leaves receive different amounts of direct light. And the deeper parts of the plant naturally experience a different light environment. That's exactly what we're observing. More lighting capability. Controlled output. Strong photons. And twelve different plants deciding what to do with them. Chem Brรปlรฉe is making her answer increasingly visible. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š More Light Doesn't Change Who She Is This is something I really love about the 8ร—8 experiment. We changed the lighting capability. We increased the available photons. We adjusted the output. And yet... Chem Brรปlรฉe is still Chem Brรปlรฉe. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Her genetics still determine her structure. Her flower formation. Her proportions. Her pace. Her personality. The environment gives her opportunities. Her genetics decide how she interprets those opportunities. And that's why I keep coming back to the phrase: Same room. Different answer. That's the whole experiment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Final Weeks Are About Watching As we approach the final part of the flowering journey, my role becomes increasingly observational. We're not trying to rebuild her. We're not trying to change her architecture. We're not trying to make her become another phenotype. We're watching. Looking at the flowers. Looking at the resin. Looking at the pistils. Looking at the foliage. Watching the colour transition. Watching the overall plant. And making small adjustments when the plant tells us they make sense. That's it. The heavy lifting was earlier. Now the plant is writing the final pages. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Is Capturing The Transition And this is where the photographs become particularly valuable. Because colour changes can be subtle. A pistil today might look almost identical to the pistil last week. But put the photographs side by side... and suddenly: There it is. The flowers have matured. The pistils have changed. The structure has become more substantial. The resin has increased. The plant is moving. That's why these individual diaries matter. We're not just creating a gallery. We're creating a timeline. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has given us a beautiful timeline to follow. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ Same Room โ€“ Different Finish Lines This is becoming especially interesting now. The twelve girls are sharing the same room. Same general environment. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same overall nutrition strategy. And yet... they are not all reaching the same stage at the same speed. Some are moving faster. Some are slower. Some have more white pistils. Some have more coloured pistils. Some are changing foliage earlier. Some are staying very green. Some flowers are denser. Some structures are more open. And that's not a problem. That's the experiment. The genetics are giving us twelve different timelines. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is writing hers. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ She's Not The Star Of The Room... And that's okay. I said it last week and I'll say it again. She's not necessarily the prettiest girl in the room. She's not the ugliest either. She's just... beautiful. Normal. Balanced. Individual. And I think there's something really nice about that. Because when you grow enough plants, you start realizing that beauty isn't always about having the biggest flowers or the most spectacular structure. Sometimes it's simply the plant's character. And Chem Brรปlรฉe has character. She has her own look. Her own flowering style. Her own rhythm. And now she's entering the final part of her journey. That's worth celebrating. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ The 8ร—8 Lesson Continues If this project has taught me anything, it's that the plants don't read the same script. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We can provide the same environment. The same equipment. The same care. The same room. And they'll still do completely different things. That's exactly why I'm enjoying the final weeks so much. Now we're seeing those differences become even more obvious. The way they mature. The way their flowers develop. The way their pistils change. The way their foliage ages. The way each phenotype approaches the end. That's where the real personality starts showing. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A? She's starting to whisper: "Okay... we're getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 12 โ€“ Current Room Conditions The room continues running under the current 8ร—8 setup.

It's starting to become visible. Chem Brรปlรฉe still has development ahead of her. But the changes are becoming increasingly obvious. The pistils are changing. The flowers are maturing. The resin is becoming more pronounced. The foliage is slowly beginning to tell a different story. And now we're beginning to reduce the base nutrition gradually. Not because we're declaring: "That's it." But because we're approaching the final part of the journey. And I want to transition into that stage gradually. No sudden cliff. No dramatic switch. Just another little step in the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ Final Thoughts โ€“ Still Shining Week 12. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is still doing exactly what she has been doing. Growing. Flowering. Developing. Shining. And slowly... maturing. She's not the most spectacular plant in the room. She's not the least spectacular either. She's simply Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. And that's enough. The flowers are becoming more mature. The pistils are beginning to change colour. The resin is becoming increasingly obvious. The foliage is still carrying plenty of beautiful green. And now we're beginning to make the first small reduction in the mineral base. Terra Bloom: 2.3 ml/L โžก๏ธ 2.0 ml/L EC: ~2.14 โžก๏ธ ~2.05 mS/cm Nothing dramatic. Just a gradual transition. Because I don't like going from everything to nothing overnight. I prefer to listen. Reduce. Observe. And allow the plant to tell me how she's progressing. That's the way I like to approach these final weeks. And Chem Brรปlรฉe? She's talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ She's saying: "I'm getting there." So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep giving her the environment she needs. And let's see how this beautiful, completely individual phenotype writes the final pages of her story. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Let her shine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and follow this individual phenotype through the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey and providing the nutritional foundation behind this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that we've been testing in this room. The additional lighting has given us more capability, more control and another fascinating variable to observe across these twelve different plants. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to think about lighting as a three-dimensional environment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week we get a little closer. Every week the girls become a little more themselves. And now we're entering one of the most interesting parts of the entire journey. The final development. The changing colours. The maturing flowers. The increasing resin. The gradual transition. And the moment when each phenotype finally tells us: "This is who I became." Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A isn't there yet. But she's getting closer. She's still green. She's still beautiful. She's still building. And she's still shining. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So we'll keep doing what we do. Observe. Document. Provide. Adjust when necessary. And let the plant write the story. Because the best part of this entire adventure has always been discovering what happens when we stop trying to make the plants behave the same... and simply let them show us who they are. Until next week... Keep shining, Chem Brรปlรฉe. We're watching. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Good start, one of girls is bit smaller, but it's not big problem now. Started adding nutrients. Be optimistic!

Bis auf das die Lampe zu dicht an den beiden lรคngsten Blรผten ist, gibt es nichts besonderes. Leider ist der Platz nach oben hin ausgereizt.

My light broke. Sorry for not updating this week. Catch everyone back on Tuesday. Update: 3/27 installed a Spider Farmer SE5000 (2024 edition). Hopefully the recovery time will be quick.
