Hello Diary. The second week of vegetation is over and the Purple Punch has already started to form flowers. Otherwise a pretty quiet week, I had one watering and more or less it was all action on โ€œFarmโ€. Conditions are more or less good, I would like the humidity to be a bit higher but ok. Purple Punch # 1 that sprouted first reached 23 cm, which is double from the previous week, while Purple Punch # 2 that sprouted a few days later reached 15 cm. The tips of the leaves as well seen in the photos have taken on a bright green-yellow color, I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s from the light or something else? If anyone has an idea why this is happening, feel free to share with me. I didnโ€™t add any nutrients, the soil is still rich in nutrients from Easy Boost Organic Nutrition, Mycorrhiza Mix and substances in the soil. From next week I will start adding BioBizz. With two Purple Punch on the โ€œFarmโ€ there is also one Watermelon Auto that keeps them company. Letโ€™s see how it was this week. 07/02/2021 - Day 12. Watering. I regulated the water with Plagronโ€™s Lemon Kick. In my case the tap water is about 8 p.H. so I lower it to a value between 6.0 and 6.5. I pour water into the bucket the day before to evaporate the existing chlorine from the water. I should have watered more often with less water but now it turned out that way. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 49% humidity. 09/02/2021 - Day 14. Photographing plants, measuring height and analyzing the week. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 23.5 degrees and 40% humidity. Purple Punch Auto # 1 - Day 14. - 23 cm Purple Punch Auto # 2 - Say 14. - 15 cm Iโ€™ll see what happens to the leaves but I hope everything will be cool. See you soon.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

The blackberry moonrocks is still doing great they are the biggest plants in the tent I have a feeling they are going to be super stars I'm hoping they stack nicely and not branch out to much the main stems have a dark color starting so maybe we will get black leaves The day has come and it's time to flip these ladies to flower. I was planning on letting them go untill Friday and let the smaller ones grow just a bit more but they will be fine. I have the eternity cup contest in mind and I'm thinking timing so I need to get these lady done and out my tent lol. This past week I turned the light up alot getting them ready to flower they have grown a bunch inhavendone lst maybe 5 it 6 times on the branchs and they arw nit bendy anymore that will help durring flower.

Another week closer. A couple things this week, 1st thing is after raising the PPMS last week got a little tip burn, so only raised the PPMS a little this week and keeping an eye on them, only 2 got tip burn barley noticeable, so we will slowly raise during the week and watch and see that they can take it...Thats the problem sometimes with Hydroponics you are at the mercy of the weakest plant..but it is what it is. Everything else looks really good and is dialed in perfect., OO YEA 2ND thing is I'm really amazed at how well this SPIDER-FARMER SF4000 is doing, I really am, I ran this light before side by side against a MH/HPS and it produced a little less than the MH/HPS..but now running it by itself and not getting any bleed over from the other lights, its running perfect and the production is amazing, Massive Veg and the Bloom started right away, can't wait to see the finished plants... Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.

๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 ๐ŸŒฟ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿšจ When Trouble Knocks: Bud Rot, Staying Calm & Learning From It Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this week... Well... Trouble ate the house. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿšจ But before anyone starts panicking... NO. That's not how we're going to handle this. Because in a room with this many different cultivars and phenotypes, sometimes something happens. And this time... Cash Express Pheno B gave us a little lesson. We found bud rot. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐ŸŒธ Am I happy about it? Absolutely not. Did I panic? Absolutely not. And that's Rule Number One. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿšจ Rule Number One: Don't Panic When you discover something like bud rot in a flowering room, the first reaction can very easily be: "Oh shit." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And yes... that's a completely understandable reaction. But panic doesn't help. You need to stop. Look carefully. Confirm what you're actually seeing. And then act. That's exactly what happened here. This was not immediately obvious from the outside. It was hiding. The flower looked perfectly capable of blending into the rest of the plant. But after looking... and looking... and looking again... something didn't feel right. And eventually, experience kicked in. Maybe it's because I've seen enough plants by now. Maybe my eye has become trained. Maybe I'm simply getting better at noticing the little things. Whatever it was... I noticed it. And once I knew something was wrong? There was no hesitation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœ‚๏ธ Rule Number Two: Get It Out The affected cola was removed. Straight away. I didn't stand there wondering what might happen. I didn't leave it for another day. I didn't say: "Let's see what it looks like tomorrow." Nope. Out it came. ๐Ÿšจโœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒธ The goal at that moment was simple: Remove the affected material and prevent the problem from becoming a bigger problem. And once it was removed, I opened it up. That's when the real lesson began. Because from the outside... it wasn't nearly as obvious as it became once the flower was opened. And that's exactly why I wanted to document this. Not because bud rot is fun. It isn't. But because if we're going to document the 8ร—8 Adventure honestly, we have to document the bad moments too. Not just the beautiful frost. Not just the giant flowers. Not just the perfect photographs. Sometimes... we show the ugly stuff. Because that's where people can learn. 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” What Is Bud Rot? Bud rot is commonly associated with the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. It can develop in dense flowering structures, particularly when moisture becomes trapped inside areas where airflow and drying are limited. And here's the important part: You don't necessarily need to look at your room and think: "Wow, it's extremely humid." for this to happen. A room can have relatively controlled environmental conditions while a dense flower creates its own little microclimate. Inside a thick flower... things can be very different from what your room sensor is telling you. That's why the plant itself still needs to be inspected. The room sensor tells you about the room. The flower tells you about the flower. And sometimes... those are two very different stories. 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 Did I See? This is where I really want to use the photographs from this week. Because the first thing you might notice from the outside isn't necessarily some huge obvious patch of mould. Sometimes the warning signs can be subtle. In this case, there were brownish/discoloured areas that didn't look quite right. The flower wasn't simply progressing uniformly. There was something different happening within the structure. And that is one of the things I want everyone following this diary to take away: LOOK. Actually look at your flowers. Don't just look at the whole plant from three metres away. Don't just look at the beautiful tops. Don't just look at the trichomes. Get your eyes into the structure. Look between flowers. Look at areas that are unusually discoloured. Look for tissue that doesn't seem to fit with the normal progression of the plant. Look for anything that makes you think: "That's not how the rest of this flower looks." That little thought can be important. 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‘€ The Outside Doesn't Always Tell The Whole Story This was probably the most interesting part for me. From the outside, this problem was surprisingly well disguised. The flower still looked like a flower. It still had its normal structure. It still had all the visual complexity that makes these plants so beautiful. But something was happening inside. Once I opened it... the story became much clearer. And that's why I decided to photograph it. I want people to see both sides. What you might notice with the naked eye... and what you can discover when you investigate further. Because bud rot doesn't always arrive with a giant flashing sign saying: "HELLO, I'M MOULD." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sometimes it whispers. And that's why observation matters. 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 Let's Go Deeper Once the affected cola was opened, the difference became much easier to understand. Healthy flower tissue has a certain consistency and appearance. Rotten tissue doesn't. You may see brown or greyish areas, damaged-looking plant material, unusual discoloration, tissue that appears to be breaking down, or fungal growth associated with the damaged area. And sometimes you'll see something that simply doesn't look like healthy flower anymore. That's the important part. You don't need to become a laboratory scientist. You need to learn what YOUR healthy plants normally look like. Because once you know normal... abnormal becomes much easier to spot. That's something experience teaches you. You look at hundreds of flowers. You photograph them. You handle them. You inspect them. And eventually your brain starts saying: "Wait..." That's what happened here. 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Œ What Bud Rot Is NOT This is also extremely important. Not every brown pistil is bud rot. Not every colour change is mould. Not every damaged leaf means there's an infection. Not every flower that looks different is automatically rotten. Flowers naturally change as they mature. Pistils change colour. Leaves age. Plant tissue can become damaged. Flowers can become darker. Some cultivars naturally develop unusual colours and structures. And photographs can make perfectly normal things look much more dramatic than they really are. So... don't panic at the first brown hair you see. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Look at the whole structure. Compare it with the rest of the flower. Look for tissue damage. Look for unusual discoloration. Look for signs that don't fit the normal maturation pattern. And if you're genuinely unsure? Investigate carefully rather than immediately assuming the worst. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿšจ But When You KNOW It's Rot... That's when we stop debating. Once I was confident that this was a genuine problem... out it came. โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒธ No emotional attachment. No: "But it's such a beautiful cola." No: "Maybe she'll recover." Nope. She's gone. Because once a flower is affected, keeping it attached simply because we don't want to lose it isn't a sensible trade. One damaged cola is frustrating. A larger problem spreading through the room is much worse. So the decision was easy. Remove. Remove carefully. Remove immediately. And then inspect what was around it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ After Removal โ€” Don't Forget The Basics Once the affected material is removed, cleanliness matters. Tools should be cleaned appropriately. Hands should be clean. The removed material shouldn't be left sitting around in the grow space. And the affected material? That's waste. Not medicine. Not something to save. Not something to experiment with. If plant material is visibly affected by mould or rot, it isn't something I would consider suitable for consumption. That's an important line. We can be relaxed about a lot of things in this hobby. Mould isn't one of them. ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ How Can Bud Rot Happen In A "Good" Room? This is where things get particularly interesting for the 8ร—8 Adventure. Because this room is not some uncontrolled jungle. We're monitoring temperature. We're monitoring humidity. We're managing airflow. We're managing lighting. We're watching the plants. And we're still pushing the environment toward strong flowering conditions. But the room environment is not the same thing as the microenvironment inside a giant flower. A dense flower can contain tiny spaces where air movement is lower. Moisture can linger. Plant material can be packed tightly together. And the interior can behave differently from the surrounding room. That's why even growers who monitor their environment carefully can still encounter bud rot. It doesn't automatically mean: "Everything was done wrong." Sometimes biology simply finds an opportunity. And this is exactly why inspection remains important. 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 The Current Room The room this week is sitting around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~60% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.04 โšก EC: ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: ~25.2ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation: ~1.4 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L We're also continuing with the upgraded Future of Grow lighting setup. Two additional Black Series 600W fixtures are now part of the experiment, currently being controlled at approximately 59% power from the plug. The upper canopy is around the ~1,500 PPFD range. And this is important: I'm not saying these numbers "caused" the problem. I'm saying that even in a carefully managed room, problems can still happen. That's the reality of growing living organisms. 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’จ VPD, Humidity & Reality This is another area where I think it's important not to oversimplify things. We can talk about VPD. We can talk about relative humidity. We can talk about temperature. We can monitor everything. And we absolutely should. But no environmental number guarantees that a dense flower will never develop a problem. The inside of the flower can have a different microclimate. That's why I don't believe in saying: "My humidity is X, therefore bud rot is impossible." Nothing is impossible. Especially when you're growing dense flowers. The bigger and tighter the flower structure becomes, the more important physical inspection becomes. And that's a lesson I'm happy to repeat. 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 Prevention Starts With Observation For me, one of the biggest prevention tools is simply knowing your plants. Look at them regularly. Learn what healthy flowers look like. Learn how your particular genetics develop. Know what normal pistil colour changes look like. Know what normal late-flowering leaf changes look like. And then pay attention when something doesn't match. Because prevention isn't only about numbers on a controller. It's also about your eyes. Your nose. Your experience. Your photographs. Your memory. And your willingness to investigate. The more familiar you become with your plants, the easier it becomes to notice when something doesn't belong. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Airflow Still Matters Dense flowers benefit from good airflow around the plant and through the room. Not because airflow magically makes plants immune to fungal problems... but because stagnant, damp microclimates are exactly the sort of conditions we don't want around dense flowers. So we keep paying attention to airflow. We keep the room moving. We avoid unnecessarily wet conditions around the flowers. We monitor environmental changes. And we inspect. That's the combination. Not one magic trick. Not one number. Not one piece of equipment. A whole system. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  Don't Turn One Problem Into Ten Problems This is another important lesson. When something goes wrong, don't suddenly change everything. One cola has a problem? Don't immediately decide the entire room is failing. Don't panic and start changing five environmental variables at once. Don't start throwing random solutions at the plants. Stop. Identify the problem. Remove the affected material. Inspect the surrounding area. Clean up properly. Then continue monitoring. That's what I did here. One problem. One response. And then back to watching the room. Because the other eleven girls don't suddenly become guilty just because one flower had a problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 And What About Cash Express Pheno B? Well... this is where we have to give this girl a little respect. Because despite this little incident... she is still beautiful. She's still developing. She's still flowering. She's still doing what Cash Express Pheno B has been doing throughout this entire journey. Growing tall. Building flowers. Occupying her space. Doing things her own way. And yes... she gave me one little headache. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿšจ But one affected cola doesn't erase everything else this plant has done. This is still a beautiful phenotype. And now she's also taught us something. That's part of the adventure. 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 One Cola Doesn't Define The Plant I think this is important to say. When you see photographs of the affected flower, it can be easy to let that become the entire story. But it isn't. The 8ร—8 Adventure isn't about pretending everything is perfect. It's about documenting reality. And reality contains both: ๐Ÿ˜ Beautiful flowers and ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Problems. That's growing. Sometimes you get incredible frost. Sometimes you get a plant that surprises you. Sometimes you get a beautiful phenotype. And sometimes... bud rot decides to pay you a visit. You deal with it. You learn from it. And you keep going. 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 Why I Took These Photos I deliberately photographed this because I think it's valuable education. Not to scare anyone. Not to create drama. And certainly not to say: "Look how bad things can get!" No. Quite the opposite. I want someone looking at this diary six months from now to see these photographs and think: "Okay... THAT is the kind of thing I should be looking for." That's useful. The beautiful photographs are inspiring. But the ugly photographs can be educational. And sometimes... the ugly ones are the ones people remember. 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 The 8ร—8 Adventure Isn't A Perfect-Grow Competition This is not a showroom. It's a living room full of living plants. Twelve individual phenotypes. Different genetics. Different flower structures. Different densities. Different responses. And sometimes... different problems. That's why I'm not embarrassed to show this. If anything, I think it's important. Because if we only show perfect plants, people can get the impression that experienced growers never have problems. That's simply not reality. Experienced growers have problems too. The difference is often how quickly they recognize them... and how calmly they respond. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿšจ What To Do If You Find It My approach here was simple: 1๏ธโƒฃ Stay calm. 2๏ธโƒฃ Confirm that what you're seeing is actually abnormal. 3๏ธโƒฃ Inspect the flower carefully. 4๏ธโƒฃ Remove the affected material promptly. 5๏ธโƒฃ Keep affected material out of the grow space. 6๏ธโƒฃ Clean the tools and anything that contacted the affected material. 7๏ธโƒฃ Inspect nearby flowers and dense areas carefully. 8๏ธโƒฃ Continue monitoring the room and the plants closely. 9๏ธโƒฃ Don't panic and start changing everything at once. ๐Ÿ”Ÿ Keep documenting. That's what this diary is for. We're learning as we go. 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 The Rest Of The Room Keeps Moving And this is the important part. The rest of the 8ร—8 is still doing what the 8ร—8 does. Growing. Flowering. Developing. Different girls are moving at different speeds. Some are faster. Some are slower. Some are compact. Some are huge. And now we've had our reminder that even a beautiful flowering room can throw you a curveball. That's okay. We deal with it. And we continue. Because the adventure doesn't stop because one cola decided to misbehave. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒฟ 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 Photons Keep Coming The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the artificial sun for this room. We're still working with the additional two 600W fixtures. We're still controlling their output rather than simply running everything flat out. We're still watching how the different plants respond. And we're still using Lumiflora to add another layer of light deeper into the canopy. Nothing about one affected cola changes the larger experiment. If anything... it gives us another variable to observe. That's what real grows are. Not controlled laboratory experiments where nothing unexpected ever happens. Real plants. Real rooms. Real environmental changes. Real genetics. Real problems. Real learning. 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 And Yes... We're Still Going To Make Her Shine Absolutely. Because this girl deserves it. Even with the little bit of trouble she gave us. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Cash Express Pheno B is still beautiful. She's still tall. She's still developing. She's still building flowers. She's still showing us her own expression. And now she's also given us an opportunity to talk about something that every flowering grower should understand: Sometimes things go wrong. The important part is what you do next. So I'm not going to hide the ugly side. I'm going to put it right here beside the beautiful side. This is the plant. This is the journey. This is growing. 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 Looking Ahead From here... we continue. We'll keep watching Cash Express Pheno B closely. We'll keep inspecting the flowers. We'll keep monitoring the environment. We'll keep paying attention to the dense areas. We'll keep providing stable conditions. And we'll see where the rest of her flowers take us. The affected cola is gone. The lesson remains. And the plant? She's still here. Still growing. Still flowering. Still beautiful. So let's see what she does next. 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€“ A Lesson Hidden Inside The Flower This week wasn't the update I expected to write. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But honestly? I'm glad I can write it. Because this is the part of growing that doesn't always make it into the pretty photographs. Bud rot can happen. Even in a room where you're monitoring your environment. Even when the plants look beautiful. Even when you're doing everything you can to keep the room stable. Dense flowers can create their own little microclimates. And sometimes... fungal problems find an opportunity. The important thing is not to panic. That's Rule Number One. Rule Number Two? Get it out. โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿšจ That's what we did. I noticed something that didn't look right. I investigated. I found the problem. I removed the affected cola. I opened it. I photographed it. And now we're using that experience to help educate everyone following along. What does it look like? What should you pay attention to? What is normal? What isn't? And what should you do when you find it? That's the value of documenting the entire journey. Not just the wins. Not just the frost. Not just the beautiful macro shots. Everything. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's still shining. One bad cola doesn't define a beautiful plant. It simply gives us one more lesson from her story. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So... no panic. No drama. No hiding. Just learn. Observe. Act when necessary. And keep going. That's growing. And that's the 8ร—8 Adventure. 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 these genetics and allowing us to follow these individual phenotypes throughout this entire adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the nutrition we're using throughout flowering. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting and especially the two additional 600W fixtures we're now testing in the 8ร—8 Adventure. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone following this crazy experiment here on GrowDiaries. This week, you're getting something a little different. Not just beautiful flowers. Not just frost. Not just another perfect macro photograph. You're getting a lesson. You're getting the reality of growing. Because sometimes... Trouble eats the house. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿšจ But we don't burn the house down. We stay calm. We find the problem. We deal with it. We learn. And we keep growing. Cash Express Pheno B is still here. She's still beautiful. She's still developing. And she's still writing her story. One cola gave us a headache. The rest of the plant? Still shining. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š And if there is one thing I hope people take from this week's report: Don't be afraid of problems. Respect them. Learn to recognize them. Act quickly when you need to. And never let one problem convince you that the whole grow is lost. Growing is not about never having problems. It's about learning how to deal with them. And this week... Cash Express Pheno B taught us exactly that. Until next week... Keep your eyes open. Keep your plants close. Keep learning. And let's keep this beautiful girl shining. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿš‚

This was a week. The drama at the beginning was one of the fans falling down onto my gorilla cookies. It snapped a branch off really bad but the girl hung onto it by threads. I duct taped her up and somehow took. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ข I defoliated and did a little lst on a couple of the girls. Nothing major. Also increased the light to 80% now. I think I'll stay there until late flower when I switch to 12/12. I also added blocks to a couple of the girls to make the canopy level. That put the light at 15" as recommended by Medic Grow. This Gorilla Cookie is a beast. Even took a beating from a falling fan but kept going. She'll do the best out of the group I bet. Dimmed to 80% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

With 33 grams on such a small plant I can't complain. I was amazed on the many hours (3) to clean the buds before curring. Several buds had rotten places because of the yellow leaves, they died and caused this problem Luckily I stopped in time and dived a little bit earlier in harvesting here highness.

Woche 8 Die dritte Woche im 12h Zyklus bricht an und es ist von Blรผte noch nicht viel zu erkennen. Die Damen wachsen und wachsen ๐Ÿคญ. Wenn sich diese Woche nicht der Blรผtebeginn zeigt werden wir die Nacht auf 13h verlรคngern mรผssen sonst sprengen sie einfach das Zeltvolumen sollten sie sich in der Blรผte weiter strecken. Das Licht haben wir mittlerweile schon mehrfach kontrolliert es ist wirklich auf 12h umgestellt. Tag 18 nach Umstellung und ohne weitere MaรŸnahmen haben die Damen dann langsam mal beschlossen mit der Blรผte zu beginnen. ๐Ÿ˜Š Blรผtetag 21 normalerweise wรคre jetzt Lollipoppen angesagt. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคญ

Fifth week of flower and it was time to defoliate the indoor units as they were starting to get bushy and block exposure to the lower bud sites. Quick work with the bonsai shears and they were ready to soak in the sun. I left the rooftop plants alone as I believe having additional leaf mass enables them to withstand temp and environmental fluctuations better. Whether or not this is the case, it was an experiment.

Hello Canna Fam, So I missed a week diary entry so I will do week 13 and then 14 sometime tomorrow. Anyway I harvested the six shooter and the bud structure is very mutated so I am not expect much solid bud. Iโ€™m my next entry I will update the dry weight yields and reviews to the harvested Gorilla Cookies, LSD-25 and Girl Scout Cookies๐Ÿ˜ For now the late blooming Gorilla Glue is thickening while she flushed and the EC levels drop.
