Hello everyone, I'm really pissed about the 3 Afghan skunk plants, the package description says feminized seeds but they are in flower mode while the light is on 24/7, the people at Expert steeds are doing a terrible job packaging the seeds! Last time i buy steeds from expert steeds that is for sure. In 2 days they will get a good defoliation and than it's racing to the finish. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Growfather

She's really starting to take off now I've corrected the lights height and strength, you'll see in the next week that I'll start having some pH issues, I'm usually an outdoor grower. This is my first indoor grow so I don't have all the stuff you need yet, I should be getting a pH pen and PPM metre soon.

Flower kicks in party hardy

Week 14 – Getting Fatter Every Day 💛🌾 The fade is moving in stronger now, but the buds keep getting fatter and denser every single day. The smell is really good already — loud, sweet, spicy, and pushing more each week. 💧 Feeding (this week) Watered with: • 60 ml Bloom • 60 ml TopMax • 30 ml EM • 30 ml Bat Boost • 30 ml CalMag • 1.7 g Epsom salt They drank it well and are still building heavily. 🌱 Notes Even with the yellowing leaves, bud production is still rising. Trichomes are stacking nicely, and top colas are swelling fast. Everything looks on track for the final weeks. Stay tuned, muchachos — she’s not done yet. OnlyBuds 🌱✨

All is well cannafam! 😁💯

Blütewoche 9 – Ernte in Sicht? Zeitraum: 17. Juli bis 24. Juli Blütetag: 56 bis 63 So langsam geht's wirklich dem Ende entgegen, die neunte Blütewoche ist rum. Ich hab mir diese Woche regelmäßig die Trichome unter die Lupe angeschaut. Einige sind noch glasig, viele schon schön milchig, und vereinzelt zeigen sich auch die bernsteinfarbenen. Es sieht also sehr vielversprechend aus, aber ich warte vielleicht noch ein bis zwei Tage, um noch etwas mehr Reife rauszuholen. Heute checke ich sie nochmal gründlich und entscheide dann, ob geerntet wird oder ob ich ihr noch ein kleines bisschen Zeit gebe. Was ich in der letzten Woche gemacht habe. Ich habe den Lichtzyklus nochmal angepasst. Vom 18. bis zum 21. Juli lief sie unter 11/13, danach hab ich auf 10/14 runtergeschaltet. Damit wollte ich ihr signalisieren, dass es Zeit wird fertig zu werden. Zusätzlich habe ich die Lampe nochmal 10 cm höher gehängt, um die Lichtintensität etwas zu reduzieren und den Stress zum Ende hin minimal zu halten. Gegossen habe ich nicht mehr. Man merkt deutlich, dass sie in der Endphase nicht mehr so viel Durst hat, das Substrat bleibt deutlich länger feucht. Etwas Sorge hat mir die Luftfeuchtigkeit gemacht. Die war wetterbedingt ein wenig erhöht, lag aber mit 56–66 % noch im vertretbaren Bereich. Die Temperaturen waren nachts bei 22–25 °C, tagsüber bei 28–30 °C, also alles im grünen Bereich. Bisher sieht alles gut aus, keine Spur von Schimmel. Jetzt steht also die finale Phase an. Die Ernte und das Trocknen. Auch das wird nochmal spannend, aber wenn das Wetter halbwegs stabil bleibt, sollte es gute Bedingungen dafür geben. Das nächste Update kommt dann nach der Ernte, wenn die Buds getrocknet sind und ich ein erstes Fazit ziehen kann. Ich freu mich drauf!

V30, se hizo un riego con 1.2 EC y pH 6.2, ya se ha hecho el último LST a la rama principal de cada planta, ahora solo queda esperar que crezcan hasta una altura aproximada de 25~30 centímetros para pasarlas a 12/12. V31, creciendo. También, Luffy xD V34, riegos de 1.2 EC y pH 6.2, en los próximos riegos se incluirá líquido estimulante de floración, ya que en unos pocos días más se cambiara la luz a 12/12. Actualmente están de 25cm de altura, a los 30cm se cambiará a floración.

Start of week 4, the blueberries had major bud growth during week 3 and they filled in nicely. There are a few signs of deficiency in the larger fan leaves, but overall I'm very happy with how the blueberries are growing. The Super Lemon Haze is showing signs of deficiencies, she's also hungrier than the blueberries, she got an extra 2 liters of nutes at 1/4 mute strength, the last two weeks. She may require full strength nutes in the extra feeding, to help with the deficiencies. Still, bud site development is coming along nicely on the SLH.

August 23th: (F6) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 24th: (F7) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 25th: (F8) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.2 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 26th: (F9) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.2 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 27th: (F10) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.2 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 28th: (F11) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.2 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off August 29th: (F12) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1150 EC 6.2 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Supercropped the 4 taller branches on the PE2 as a test and to get them at same level Note: The Tut height is at the EXTREME limit had to remove the tray to gain 2 inch, will have to get the light at the roof of the tent and hope it will do it, first run of my life in 48 inch height space will learn from it for the next runs! :)

So week 8 flowering, the plant in the back starts to get purple tints (night temperature drops to 12celcius. trichomes on both plants are cloudy (on top) at bottom they have clears left so i go another week and well see what happens. i give only tap water now dont mind the butterfree hes protecting my buds from sneeky neighbours

Will be growing again! This plant proved to be a moderate to heavy yielder considering I'm using only 230 - 250 watts. Very easy to train grow and smoke lol. Short stature created some massive dense buds did not mind trim jail at all for this hefty little lady Stay tuned guys for new runs possibly new strains and remember to stay lifted and Happy growing✌️

There were problems with the grow. First I burned the leaves with self made insecticide. Then she got nitrogen poisoning. She grew rather small, but the smell was beautiful: fruity and exotic, pineapple 😊. I am very happy that she still managed to grow such nice buds. I only trimmed the fan leaves and hung the stalks with buds in the basement. I hope that humidity will stay reasonable. ATM there is 75% RH I will update the report after first smoke

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 6 | Flowers Take the Lead One of the things I enjoy most about running a phenotype hunt is watching each plant reveal her personality one week at a time. Some explode with vigorous stretch. Others remain compact while quietly building flowers. Cash Express Pheno A seems to have found her own rhythm. Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone joining this diary for the first time, every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of deciding when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, every seed receives 12 hours of light from the day it germinates, allowing each phenotype to determine its own pace. Six weeks in, Cash Express Pheno A has fully embraced flowering. Now the focus is no longer on making flowers... It's about building them. ⸻ 🌼 The Flowering Engine Starts Running This week brought one of my favourite moments of early flower. The fresh white pistils that first appeared last week are now multiplying rapidly, and nearly every branch has begun forming small clusters that will eventually become proper buds. The plant may not be the tallest in the room, nor the largest, but she's proving that size isn't everything. Her energy is clearly being invested where it matters. Flower production. The internodes remain nicely spaced, allowing excellent light penetration throughout the canopy, while every growing tip seems eager to become its own flowering site. It's still early... But the blueprint for harvest is already being drawn. ⸻ 🌿 A Hands-Off Approach One thing that hasn't changed this week is my philosophy. Apart from a little gentle leaf tucking, I've deliberately avoided unnecessary intervention. No heavy defoliation. No aggressive pruning. No major training. Early flowering is one of the busiest periods in a plant's life. She's stretching, producing flowers, expanding her root system and adjusting her hormonal balance all at once. Whenever possible, I prefer letting her focus on that work instead of recovering from mine. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is simply stay out of the way. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Continues To Deliver The AutoPot system continues doing exactly what it was designed to do. With the AquaValve automatically supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the tray empties, the plant has complete control over when she drinks. There's no guessing. No fixed watering schedule. Just healthy roots deciding when they need food and water. Week after week, she continues responding beautifully to this consistency, maintaining steady growth while allowing me to focus on observation instead of constant irrigation. Sometimes the smartest systems are also the simplest. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week's reservoir remained straightforward and stable, consisting of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The slight increase in nutrition made last week appears to have done exactly what I hoped. A few of the oldest fan leaves continue fading as the plant naturally reallocates nutrients toward new growth, but the process remains slow, controlled and completely expected. The upper canopy looks healthy, vibrant and full of life. Sometimes older leaves simply finish their job. And that's perfectly okay. Solution parameters remained stable at approximately EC 1.78 mS/cm with a pH of 6.0, providing a comfortable balance for continued flower development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very consistent throughout the week. • Day temperature averaged 29°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Solution temperature stayed close to 22°C • Root zone averaged approximately 21°C • Relative humidity remained near 60% • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged roughly 639 ppm With flowers now beginning to establish themselves across the canopy, maintaining stable conditions becomes increasingly important. Healthy roots, consistent nutrition and a predictable environment allow the plant to dedicate her energy where it matters most—building flowers rather than reacting to stress. Everything continues moving exactly as planned. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week's Photos This week's photographs capture a very enjoyable stage of the grow. The close-up shots highlight clusters of bright white pistils appearing at nearly every flowering site, while the full-plant portraits reveal a beautifully balanced structure with evenly spaced branches reaching toward the light. One detail that also stands out is the gradual fading of a few lower fan leaves. I intentionally include these moments because real grows aren't about chasing perfection. They're about understanding what the plant is telling us. In this case, she's simply shifting resources toward the next stage of her journey. And honestly... She looks fantastic doing it. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring one of the most exciting transitions yet. The stretch will begin slowing down, while the flowers themselves should start stacking more aggressively along each branch. I'll continue keeping my hands mostly off the plant, limiting myself to occasional leaf tucking whenever a large fan leaf shades an important flowering site. The goal remains simple. Provide the best possible environment... ...and let the genetics do what they were designed to do. If she continues on this path, the coming weeks should become very exciting. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you to everyone following this journey and growing alongside me. Whether you're here to learn something new, compare techniques, ask questions, or simply enjoy watching these beautiful plants develop, I'm genuinely grateful to have you here. A special thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, learn and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal their unique character with every passing week. 🌿 Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent lighting that powers this entire project. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation beautifully simple while allowing the plants themselves to decide when they want to drink. And finally... Thank you to every grower who stops by these diaries. Every comment, every question, every bit of encouragement—and even every constructive criticism—helps make this project more valuable for the entire growing community. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week as Cash Express Pheno A leaves early flower behind and begins the exciting journey of turning these fresh white pistils into the resin-covered flowers we've all been waiting for. 🌱🚂💚

Esta semana realizamos podas de hojas y algunas partes que no van a recibir mucha luz. También probé una poda agresiva sobre uno de los esquejes antes de iniciar floracion, quiero ver cómo se desarrolla la flor en un punto concentrado. También hicimos tiego con roots ya que realizamos transplantes a las que pasarán a floracion por ahora. Y también se agregó un nuevo panel de luz que espero mejore bastante los resultados finales.

17 Febuary Flowering is well underway, with vigorous pistil development. The plants don't show any major deficiencies, and I'm pleased to see that my soil is stable! I'm no longer adding fertilizer at this stage; I simply water, adding BioEnhancer once every two weeks. The microbes and organic matter in the soil do the rest. 💪

This was an easy week with flushing the 2 B Blunt and Wreck'd Nuts so that I can take them both down. The Wreck'd Nuts just did not recover well from the lock out issues it was facing. It all came out of nowhere and got kind of serious even with a solid flush. That strain is a bit more picky with the nutrient balance than the others were. Leaving the Sex Melon and Rainbow Candy for next week. They still have some beefing up to do.

14 dias desde el cambio a 12/12, tuve que sacarlas para revisarlas, ya que se traspaso una plaga de arañitas, y tuve que aplicar insecticida foliar contra la arañita de anasac, antes que entre de lleno a floracion.
