This is the last few days. I added flawless finish yesterday and will harvest in 2 days. Gotta run outta town so taking it down one week earlier than I wanted. This gives me the week to make sure they dry process is going well and hopefully start the cure the night before I leave 🤞🏾

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno B 💚 The Bud Rot That Wasn't — She's Back in the Spotlight! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this week... I think we need to start with an apology. 😂💚 Because last week, we had the bud rot discussion. We had trouble. We had concerns. We had one sister that unfortunately lost her main cola. And in the middle of all that... Cash Express Pheno B got caught up in the story. But this week? Let's make something very clear: There is NO bud rot on this girl. None. Niente. Nothing. 😂💚 She's shining. She's growing. She's evolving. She's looking absolutely beautiful. And honestly... I'm very happy to be able to say that. Because when you're running a room with this many plants, the last thing you want is to see a problem spreading from one plant to another. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's doing absolutely fine. She's standing there looking at me like: "See? I told you I'm okay." 😂🚂💚 And she is. She's okay. More than okay, actually. She's looking fucking beautiful. So let's forget the drama for a moment. Let's give this girl the studio treatment she deserves. We took her out. We photographed her properly. We gave her some attention. And now... it's time to let her shine. 💚🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 First — Let's Correct The Story Before anything else... I'm happy to correct the record. Last week was a very different kind of report, and understandably, the attention was on the bud rot situation we found elsewhere. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's clean. She's healthy-looking. She's developing beautifully. And there are absolutely no signs of bud rot on her. So... sorry, beautiful girl. 😂💚 You got dragged into the drama. But now we're setting the record straight. This girl is doing just fine. And I'm especially happy about that because she's carrying one seriously impressive main cola. 🌸🚂💚 A massive one. And it's hanging in there beautifully. No problems. No drama. Just a big, dense, beautiful flower doing exactly what we want to see at this stage. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express B Is Still Moving One thing that hasn't changed from the previous reports: This girl is moving. She's still developing. She's still changing. And she's now clearly starting to make those moves toward the final stage of the plant. The overall appearance is changing. The flowers are becoming more mature. The pistils are changing. The green is becoming deeper. The buds are getting denser. And the whole plant is beginning to look like she's entering that part of the journey where the finish line starts becoming visible. Not tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on her. But she's definitely showing us: "I'm getting there." 😂💚 And I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Deep Green — Deeper By The Week One of the first things that catches my eye with her right now is the colour. She's beautiful. Deep green. And getting deeper. 💚🌿 There's something really satisfying about seeing this plant in person and then comparing her with the rest of the room. She's got that rich, lush appearance that makes the flowers stand out even more. The green foliage provides this beautiful contrast against the increasingly mature flowers. And then you look closer... and suddenly you're seeing brown hairs everywhere. 🌸? That's another clear sign that this girl is moving forward. She's changing. She's maturing. She's moving away from that fresh-flowering look and toward something much more developed. And I really like what I'm seeing. ──────────────────────── ? Brown Hairs Everywhere Okay... let's talk about those hairs. 😂?🌸 They're everywhere. We're starting to see that beautiful transition across the flowers. The pistils are no longer all fresh white. We're seeing more and more of those darker, mature-looking hairs throughout the plant. And when you combine that with the density of the flowers... the overall picture is becoming very interesting. She's starting to look like a plant that's entering the final part of her journey. Again... I'm not putting a harvest date on her. The plant will tell us. But visually? She's definitely talking. And she's saying: "Things are happening." 😂🚂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Big Buds On A Medium-Sized Plant This is probably one of my favourite things about this phenotype. She's not a giant. She's not one of those plants that completely dominates the room. She's medium-sized. Comfortable. Balanced. And yet... look at the flowers she's carrying. 😂💚🌸 Big. Dense. Beautiful. Substantial. It's a fantastic contrast. Medium-sized plant. Big-to-big flowers. And especially that main cola... wow. She's massive. It's hanging there like: "Don't worry. I've got this." 😂🌸 And I absolutely love seeing that. It reminds us once again that plant size and individual flower size aren't necessarily the same conversation. A plant doesn't have to become a monster to produce impressive flowers. Cash Express Pheno B is giving us a very nice example of that. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Main Cola Is Hanging In There And I have to give this one its own section. Because after what happened with her sister... I look at this main cola differently now. 😂 I see it. I admire it. I photograph it. And I think: "Please stay with us, big girl." 😂🌸🙏 She's massive. She's dense. She's beautiful. And so far... she's perfectly fine. No signs of bud rot. No strange tissue. No reason for alarm. Just a huge main flower continuing to develop. And honestly? I'm enjoying every photograph of it. Because this is exactly the kind of thing that makes these late stages so satisfying. You watch something start as a tiny flowering site... and eventually you're standing there looking at a giant cola wondering: "How the hell did you become this big?" 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔍 No Bud Rot — And That's The Important Part Let's make this crystal clear one more time. 🚨 Cash Express Pheno B: ❌ No visible bud rot ❌ No signs of the problem seen on her sister ❌ No concerning areas that we're seeing ❌ No reason to panic Instead: 💚 Healthy-looking foliage 🌸 Dense flowers ? Increasingly mature pistils ❄️ Beautiful flower development 🌿 Deepening green 🚂 Continued progression And that's exactly what I want to see. Of course, we continue observing. That's what we do with every plant. But observation is not the same thing as panic. Right now... I'm looking at a beautiful plant doing beautifully. And I'm very happy about that. ──────────────────────── 📸 She Went To The Studio! And this week... we did something special. We took her to the studio. 😂📸🎬 Because honestly? She deserved it. After all the drama surrounding the previous week, I wanted to give this girl the attention she deserves. So we took the camera out. We put her in front of the lens. And we let her show off. And... damn. 😂💚 She looks good. Really good. The photographs capture exactly what I'm seeing in the room: A beautiful medium-sized plant. Deep green. Dense flowers. Large colas. Maturing pistils. Strong structure. And one absolutely massive main cola hanging there like she owns the place. 🚂🌸💚 She earned that studio session. ──────────────────────── 📸 Macro Time — Let's Get Close And then, of course... we go closer. Because the full-plant photographs show us the structure. The flower photographs show us the density. But the macro shots? That's where she starts showing off. 😂📸🌸 Suddenly you see the individual structures. The pistils. The resin. The texture. The flower development. The tiny details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. And that's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. A plant can look beautiful from two metres away... and then completely blow your mind when you put the lens close to the flower. Cash Express Pheno B is definitely giving us those moments. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Personalities For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept remains simple. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different personalities. That's the experiment. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving us another beautiful example. Her sister is writing a very different story. One lost a main cola. This girl? Her main cola is still standing. One has had a difficult chapter. This one is moving toward maturity beautifully. Same general room. Same ecosystem. Different phenotype. Different expression. Different story. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 💡 Same Photons — Different Results The lighting environment remains exactly where we've brought it over the last few weeks. Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main artificial sun for the room. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We've already reduced the output to approximately: 🔌 ~59% from the plug while working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing throughout the canopy according to plant height and position. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's clearly enjoying those photons. She's taking them... and turning them into: 🌿 Leaves 🌸 Flowers ? Mature pistils 💚 Density ✨ Structure Same photons. Different interpretation. That's genetics. And I absolutely love watching it happen. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures for this experiment. Having that extra lighting capacity and being able to control how much of it we're actually using has been a fascinating part of this adventure. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Feeding — Same Ecosystem And just like the rest of the room... we haven't changed her nutritional program. The room remains stable. The plants are enjoying the consistency. And we're not trying to reinvent anything unnecessarily. Current nutritional program: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength: ⚡ EC ~2.05 mS/cm Same opportunity. Same room. Same feeding. And then... the plant decides what to do with it. Cash Express Pheno B has decided to build some seriously beautiful flowers. 😂🌸💚 I'm not going to argue with her. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stable Room — Stable Plants This week, the biggest thing we're doing is actually... not doing much. 😂 And I think that's important. The room is stable. The ecosystem is stable. The lighting is stable. The nutrition is stable. The irrigation is stable. And the plants are responding beautifully. So why change things? Exactly. We observe. We monitor. We photograph. We enjoy. And when something actually requires our attention... we deal with it. Otherwise? Let them grow. Let them finish. Let them show us where they're going. Cash Express Pheno B is doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same conditions across this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful within it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 She's Starting To Look Like A Final-Stage Plant This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing now. She's beginning to transition. Not dramatically. Not overnight. But visibly. The flowers are getting denser. The pistils are changing. The green is deepening. The overall appearance is becoming more mature. And that's when you start getting that feeling: "Okay... we're getting somewhere." 😂💚 She's not finished. I'm not claiming she is. But she's definitely moving toward that final stage. And I love watching that transition. It's one of the most rewarding parts of a flowering run. The plant slowly changes from: "Look what I'm building!" to: "Look what I've built." And Cash Express Pheno B is somewhere in between those two sentences right now. 🌸🚂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 Medium Plant — Big Expression And once again... this girl proves that size doesn't tell the whole story. She's medium-sized. She's not dominating the room. But her flowers? They're big. Her main cola? Massive. Her other flowers? Dense. Her structure? Beautiful. And her personality? Very much her own. This is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. If you only looked at the room as a whole, you might simply say: "Cash Express." But when you follow her individually... you start seeing: Cash Express Pheno B. A medium-sized plant. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Dense flowers. Big colas. Strong main flower. And now... a very clear movement toward maturity. That's a much more interesting story. ──────────────────────── 💚 Her Sister Had Her Chapter — This Girl Has Hers I think this is important too. Because when two phenotypes share the same genetics and the same room, it's very easy to start comparing them. And yes... we absolutely compare them. That's part of the experiment. But comparison doesn't mean one is better. It means they're different. Cash Express Pheno A had her difficult chapter. She lost her main cola. And now we're watching the remaining flowers continue their story. Cash Express Pheno B? She's had a completely different ride so far. Her main cola is still there. It's massive. She's showing no signs of the same issue. She's deep green. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she's moving toward the final stage. Two plants. Same genetics. Same room. Two very different stories. That's phenotype expression right there. ──────────────────────── 🚂 No Drama This Week And honestly? I like this kind of update. 😂💚 No drama. No emergency. No problem to solve. Just: "Look at her." 😂🌸 She's beautiful. She's growing. She's changing. She's getting more mature. She's producing dense flowers. She's getting those brown hairs. She's deep green. She's carrying a massive main cola. And she's doing exactly what she should be doing. Sometimes that's all the report needs to say. Everything is working. The room is stable. The plant is happy. And the grower gets to stand there with a camera and enjoy the view. 😂📸💚 I'll take that. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead So... where are we going from here? Honestly? I don't know. And that's exactly how I like it. 😂💚 I can see that she's entering a later stage. I can see the pistils changing. I can see the flowers getting denser. I can see the plant maturing. But I'm not going to put a date on her. The plant will tell us. And until then... we keep watching. We keep photographing. We keep enjoying the view. We keep the room stable. And we let Cash Express Pheno B decide when she's ready for the next chapter. For now? She's doing beautifully. ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — THE GIRL WHO DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Week 13. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking fucking beautiful. 💚🌸🚂 After last week's drama... what a pleasure it is to write this report. No bud rot. No problems. No emergency. Just a beautiful, healthy-looking plant moving into the final stage of her journey. Deep green. Getting deeper. Brown hairs appearing everywhere. Dense flowers. Big flowers. Beautiful structure. And that main cola... 😂🌸 That thing is massive. And it's hanging in there beautifully. She's a medium-sized plant carrying some seriously impressive flowers. And I absolutely love that. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room. She doesn't need to dominate the canopy. She doesn't need to take over the 8×8. She's simply doing her thing... and doing it very well. We took her to the studio. We gave her the camera. We got close. We photographed those flowers. And she showed us exactly why she deserves her own spotlight. 📸💚✨ This is what the 8×8 Adventure is all about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same nutrition. Same environment. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's giving us a beautiful one. So let's enjoy this stage. Let's enjoy those big flowers. Let's enjoy that massive main cola. Let's enjoy the deep green. Let's enjoy the changing pistils. Let's enjoy the density. Let's enjoy the fact that this girl is moving toward her final chapter without giving us any of the drama her sister had. 😂💚 And most importantly... let's give her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. 🚂🌸💚✨ Keep shining, Cash Express Pheno B. Keep doing your thing. Keep building those beautiful flowers. And when you're ready... we'll let you tell us when the story is finished. Until then? The camera is ready. The room is stable. And I'm enjoying the view. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us keep the room stable and consistent. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these reports on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph. Every observation. Every week following these plants. It all becomes part of the story. And Cash Express Pheno B has certainly given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her unique structure... to those big flowers... to that massive main cola... and now into the beginning of her final stage. She's still here. She's still beautiful. She's still developing. And thankfully... she's got no bud rot. 😂💚 So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl exactly what she deserves: The spotlight. 🚂🌸💚✨ Keep shining, beautiful girl. You've earned it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🚂

Soweit so gut 👍🏻 Aber, Trauermücken haben sich breit gemacht 😢😱😡 Sofortmaßnahmen... Mit Nematoden gegossen, feinen Sand als topping oben drauf. Und ein paar Gelbtafeln aufgestellt.. Einen Tag später nichts mehr zu sehen was rum fliegt.. Klar, in der Erde werden bestimmt ein paar Eier sein, aber die Nematoden werden ihren Job machen... Sonst keine Probleme 🔥

Edit soon

07.09.2024 Erntezeit! Ich werde weiter berichten. 31.10 letztes Update mit den Videos.

6 weeks in flower nothing much to do the cherry poppers & the HerzOG to the right doing good but i have no clue what to do with the other plant maybe she outgrow her 25L pot in veggi, she was quit tall back then idk man

Take a look at this beautiful purple beast! Really thick and numerous buds appeared after we defoliated her yesterday. Now you can really tell how well the LST with those plastic stretchers worked by just looking at the large, dense buds, which are growing across the whole planter. Included nutrients less often this week, as she is in late flower now, therefore some top leaves are starting to get brown spots. Also taking more time between waterings to dry her out a bit further preparing for harvest. More and more trichomes are getting that wonderful purple hue; as well as the heads turning amber with time. Right after handling her, as by giving her a much needed haircut like yesterday or doing some basic maintenance, she's releasing some strong scent, mainly consisting of citrus and spicy aroma. But as soon as she's left alone the smell is almost completely gone. Temperature is stable, but humidity is increasing in the last few days as it's raining quite often. So thankful to have the dehumidifier right now as there would be no other way to get the moisture out of our little "growroom".

I’ll updats my comment tomorrow Height Chart: Girls Scout Cookies: 31 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 35 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 40 1/4 inches (5gal) Gorilla Glue: 33 1/4 inches Lemon OG: 41 1/2 Inches

Week 6 veg and we are starting to setup for flower. Got the SCROG net up this week and the if the plants react nice ill start flower. Also spent some time on the 1000W LED controller and set up a proper day cycle – blue heavy early for tight growth, then ramping white and a bit of red later in the day. Here’s exactly how it’s tuned right now. Nectar is still the most even and balanced of the bunch. Wide bushy shape, strong laterals, and she’s filling the net without any drama. Leaves look dark green and healthy, living soil doing its job like always. Rainbow Melon is the absolute beast as usual. Super dense and aggressive – she’s really claiming her space under the net. Gonna have to stay on top of training and maybe pull a few more lower leaves soon to keep the airflow right, but she’s loving it. Something Good has picked up speed and looks a lot more even now. Still the smallest but catching up nicely, good color and steady new growth coming in. Probably 1 or 2 more weeks of veg to let them really fill the screen before we flip. Also hung the new big Biotabs banner – looks clean in the background. What do you think @Mia_BIOTABS ?? Overall everything’s happy, no stress, just solid progress. All three fertilizer are working great so far. They also got the usual foliar feeding. See you next week Update: added photos of the stems and a 1 day after applying the trellis net. 15. I flipped them into flower

Diy Led 400 w

Summer is finally here and I hope she likes feasting on those sweet, sweet sunbeams. ☀️ 28.6. Seems to be done with stretching. 1.7. Cooled down a lot. Now 18°C outside. I keep her inside the house to be safe.

Off to the races after the first week of veg. And the girls are looking good. They had about 24-48 hours of transplant shock but have since turned over and look perky. They never fully transitioned and all of em look like they’re turning back around. Definitely starting to see some pheno variation on one of the indicas (F6) - trademark from the Skywalker 100%. A light bluish/purpleish hue on the fan leaves. We’ll see what happens over the next week then probably just pick a day and flip. We don’t need em huge - just big enough to show off dem buds. On the hardware side of this grow, the mods to the dutchy system look to be working well. It just makes plant management easier with a full trough drain as opposed to individual drainage holes. Really, the system isn’t a concern for the most part. It’s proven time and time again how manageable a recirc system can truly be. Scaling down to smaller pots and more plants has also been a revelation of sorts around here. We used to grow monsters and now the aim is strictly proportional yields across a wider array of genetics. Been a great trip so far🤟. Couple more boring weeks of veg. And as soon as the breeding tent is cleaned up and pollen free - it’s go for blast-off👍. Background This cycle of clones represents all the potential of this F1 line of WalkerBerry OG. Bred by myself over the last couple of years. This genetic shows excellent hybrid vigour, incredibly stable nutrition requirements to date and an eclectic mix of long and short internodal spacing bu specimen. We know we have indica and sativa dominant traits spread evenly across the 6 available clones. Now it’s just a matter of seeing them run out under controlled and pollen free conditions. We’ve labelled each plant and it’s resulting seed accordingly. Once we get to the F2 run, we’ll hopefully be able to isolate down to 2-3 phenos if the bud is any good. From there, who knows. It’d be great to get to a finished, stable generation that would be fem worthy but that could be a very long way off. For now - we’ll focus on this line and see where it goes🤞🤞.

Good week for this lovely lady. Her color has improved immensely and she's almost caught up in size to the Blueberry. Since they're settled in I took away the support hoops and will pack up the row cover. Yet again I think it did a fabulous job reducing stress from transplanting. I also added in some Calendula plants yesterday afternoon as they make good companions. It's gonna be a straight up partay in this garden bed😜 Update 6/26- I totally forgot to add that on Monday the garden got a spraying of horn manure. Horn manure is a biodynamic preparation of cow manure that's been fermented in a buried horn. This results in a material that's teeming with beneficial flora and fauna for the soil. Ideally it would be sprayed prior to planting in the spring as it encourages healthy root growth. I purchased the pre-potenized so that I only had to spend 20 mins stirring rather than an entire hour. That would have been brutal😵 I sprayed it at night when the earth is breathing in and used a spruce bough to sprinkle it over the plants in the garden. The extra icing on the cake was that there was a rain the day before, and another the day after I sprayed so it was well watered in.

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12... I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plant remains in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... She looks cool and strech is on the way..... Nicely bent 😅 Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;) Let's hope the best ;)

I have a problem don’t know it is need help !

This diary will be solely too showcase as I go along also too help me keep track here and there when needed. Not all will be correct or down too perfection but is still a journey you can join along with 🌱 Gifted these great beans from across the water and glad to finally see them pop through the soil 💚
