Hello, Durban Prison, she's growing very very vigoreous as well. As the entering date is still a long way to go(15 july), and she will be joined by the Green gelato, there is like a lot of space to fill one's they get in the tent(150ร—120). Now she's bended, and allready into the final container(No soil, just to have a bending that suits the final pot) and I continue doing LST until they enter the tent. Looking forward to see some progress here. Its the 4th grow of this strain. Last grow was same in out in technique I applied and it made 150 gr dry bud of good quality buds. The only difference is, last year I didnt plan to do this, it just came as an idea, and the preparation of the plant itself was minimal. Only last 2 weeks was used to set some shape. So I really hope this year will be a succes. Biggest difference will be the lights. From 400w hps to 800w full spectrum Leds, it will, sorry, it has to be dubbled in numbers. Enough jabbering for NOW! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿคช Thats it for this week Grow safe ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€

D120. We have arrived at the twelfth and final week of this grow. Twelve weeks of flower is plenty, and the trichomes are starting to mature. In any case, I soon need to move the light into another tent, so chop day is almost here no matter what. ------------------------------ D121. I was going to wait a while longer, but today, I said fuck it and chopped the girls. They are now hanging in the tent, and there's an Inkbird controller connected to a humidifier and dehumidifier, keeping the humidity at 60%. Now we wait at least two weeks for the dry to finish. ------------------------------

Ginger Nut Cookies and Aussie music videos week six Thursday 6th feb 2020 Hi Growers well I decided to bite the bullet and attempt some LST and topping , I gently bent it over and tied each branch down to a predrilled hole in the pot with some soft wire. I then topped each node that was showing. If any one has any extra tips or advice on how I should go about my training I would welcome it as I am still learning . This girl is definately showing some Indica dominant characteristics about her and looks nice and healthy. I will continue to train the branches as they grow and tuck fan leaves that block light . Now for the Music Videos ###### This Week I chose two songs from two different Music Videos and two different artists both spreading the message about Reconciliation and land rights for our Indigenous Brothers and sisters here in Australia . This is something I feel is very important and is still a major issue over 200 years later. The first song and video is from Yothu Yindi which is an Aboriginal based group with their hit song "Treaty" heres the link for that video https://youtu.be/Jf-jHCdafZY and their is a brief snippet of it above in the pics and vids for this weeks update. Song and video number two is from a Group called Midnight Oil and this one is also all about giving back to the Indigenous. And basically giving them the oppurtunity to make decisions for themselves based on their own culture and beliefs and not what the politicians say they should. Here is the link for that one I hope you enjoy https://youtu.be/ejorQVy3m8E I will be back next week with another growth update and more Aussie music Videos ๐Ÿ‘ Grey_Wolf 6th Feb 2020

So thatโ€™s the end of week 3 and starting week of week 4 , this week has been a roller coaster as you can see the plants have took a bit of a beating I think itโ€™s due to lack of nute as I though I was over feeding but turns out Iโ€™m not watering enough but the new growth looks amazing so hopefully everything will be okay now

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 11 Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno A More Photons, More Frost, Still Completely Herself โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. If you've been following her journey, you already know that this girl has never really needed much introduction. She's distinctive. She's beautiful. She's developing her own particular expression. And the further we move into flower, the more obvious that individuality becomes. This week, however, something important has changed around her. Not the plant itself. We're actually doing very little to the plants at this stage. The room has changed. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has moved forward slightly. And now... we're stepping back and watching what the plants do with those changes. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is ready. So let's give her the spotlight. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก 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 11 โ€“ The Plant Knows What To Do Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A remains around 126 cm tall. And honestly... I'm not particularly interested in chasing that number anymore. The structure is established. The flowering sites are developing. The plant has already told us how she wants to occupy her space. Now we're entering one of those phases where the grower has to learn when to stop interfering. Earlier in the grow, we had plenty to do. Training. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. Decisions. Now? We're mostly observing. And that's not because we're paying less attention. It's because the plants don't need us constantly touching them. Chem Brรปlรฉe is healthy. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. She's doing what she needs to do. So we're letting her. 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 Let Her Be Chem Brรปlรฉe One of the things I appreciate most about this phenotype is that she has become increasingly recognizable as herself. When the grow started, she was simply: Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. A label. A genetic description. A possibility. But after all these weeks... that name means something different now. It means this particular structure. This particular flower formation. This particular expression. This particular rhythm. This particular girl. That's one of the great things about growing multiple phenotypes. You start with the same genetic name. Then the plants introduce themselves. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has definitely introduced herself. She's unique. She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. And she's doing it her own way. 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 Becoming Harder To Ignore One of the first things that catches my attention when I look at her photographs is still the resin. The frost is becoming increasingly visible. Those developing flowers are starting to carry more and more of that beautiful sparkling character. And this is exactly where the camera becomes one of my favourite tools. From a distance, you see the plant. Closer... you start seeing the phenotype. The trichomes. The sugar leaves. The pistils. The developing flower structure. The tiny details that make Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A different from the plant standing next to her. That's why I keep photographing everything. The camera doesn't just capture the plant. It captures the progression. And when you put ten or eleven weeks of photographs together... you can actually see the plant becoming herself. 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 8ร—8 Just Received A Photon Upgrade Now let's talk about the biggest change this week. The plants haven't needed much physical intervention. But the lighting environment has changed significantly. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. And yes... we definitely noticed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก The available light increased substantially. Actually... it increased a little more than I wanted. So instead of simply accepting the higher intensity, we reduced the fixture output. We're currently running at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a very strong lighting environment. And I'm much happier controlling that environment than simply chasing the biggest possible PPFD number. We now have considerably more lighting capability available to us. And that gives us something I really like: Control. 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 More Capability Doesn't Mean More Watts This is an important part of the experiment. We have powerful fixtures. We don't necessarily need to run them at maximum output. We added the two additional Black Series 600W lights. We measured the resulting light levels. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Simple. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now we're sitting around 59% power from the plug and getting approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And there's another benefit. We're using less electricity. We're also not unnecessarily pushing the fixtures and associated equipment harder than necessary. So we're testing the equipment properly while also finding a practical operating point. That's exactly what I wanted to do with these additional fixtures. Not simply: "Look how much light we can make." But: "How much useful light do we actually want?" And now... we're finding that answer. 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 A Huge Thank You To Future Of Grow I want to give Future of Grow a special shout-out this week. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. And this is exactly what we're doing. We're testing them in a real flowering room. We're measuring. We're observing. We're adjusting. We're learning. The additional fixtures gave us more lighting capability than we initially needed, so we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now sitting around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And I'm very happy with the result. Strong light. More control. Lower power consumption than simply running everything flat out. And twelve plants giving us twelve different responses. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures through their paces. 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 Chem Brรปlรฉe Under The New Artificial Sun And Chem Brรปlรฉe? She's still Chem Brรปlรฉe. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's actually one of the things I love about this experiment. We can change the lighting environment. We can make more photons available. We can adjust the output. But the genetics still have the final say. The light provides energy. The plant decides what to do with that opportunity. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A continues expressing herself exactly as she has throughout this journey. Her structure. Her flower formation. Her frost. Her personality. Nothing about the additional light has changed who she is. It simply gives her another opportunity to make use of the environment. And that's what we're watching now. 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 Around 1,500 PPFD At The Upper Canopy The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're currently seeing is measured across the upper canopy. And that's an important distinction. A plant is not a flat solar panel. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Chem Brรปlรฉe has flowers and leaves at different heights. Some areas receive stronger direct light. Other areas sit deeper within the structure. Some leaves are positioned perfectly toward the fixtures. Others naturally receive less. That's normal. We're not trying to make every single flower receive identical intensity. We're trying to create a strong overall lighting environment while allowing the plant to use that light effectively. And because Chem Brรปlรฉe is a taller phenotype, the three-dimensional relationship between plant and light becomes particularly interesting. Upper canopy. Middle canopy. Interior. Lower flowering sites. Every level has its own relationship with the photons. 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 Light Is Only One Piece Of The Puzzle This is something I keep coming back to throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. More light doesn't automatically mean better results. The plant still needs to be able to use that light. Temperature matters. Humidity matters. COโ‚‚ matters. Water matters. Nutrition matters. Root health matters. Leaf health matters. And the structure of the plant determines how efficiently those photons can move through the canopy. Everything is connected. That's why I'm much happier having the ability to control the lighting rather than simply increasing intensity without thinking about everything else. The two new fixtures give us more capability. The 59% output gives us control. The plants tell us whether the environment is working. And Chem Brรปlรฉe? She's looking happy. That's the important part. 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 Nutrition โ€“ Another Small Step Forward We've also made a small nutritional adjustment this week. Again... nothing dramatic. We're simply increasing Terra Bloom slightly as the plants continue progressing through flowering. The current programme is: โ€ข Terra Bloom โ€” 2.3 ml/L โ€ข Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข pH adjustment as required That small increase in Terra Bloom has brought the EC up slightly. We're now around: โšก EC โ€” 2.14 mS/cm And that's exactly the kind of adjustment I prefer. Small. Measured. Controlled. We're not changing everything simply because another week has passed. We're supporting the plants as their requirements develop. And Chem Brรปlรฉe is giving us a very good reason to remain confident in the current direction. She's green. She's flowering. She's producing resin. She's developing. So... we continue. 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 Irrigation โ€“ Consistency Over Complexity The irrigation system continues doing its job in the background. We're now around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with the nutrient solution around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 25ยฐC and the substrate around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 25ยฐC. At this stage, consistency becomes increasingly valuable. We're not trying to force Chem Brรปlรฉe to drink more simply because she looks beautiful. We're watching her demand. We're keeping the root environment stable. We're providing what the system requires. And then we're allowing the plant to decide what she does with it. That's becoming the general philosophy of this stage of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Provide. Observe. Adjust when necessary. Otherwise... let the plant grow. 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 11 โ€“ Current Environment The room is currently running approximately: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 26.5ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 6.02 โ€ข โšก EC: 2.14 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ? Pot Size: 15 L โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Plant Height: approximately 126 cm Summer still likes to keep things interesting. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ Absolute environmental perfection isn't always realistic. What matters is stability. Keeping the important variables within a controlled range. Avoiding unnecessary swings. And watching the plants themselves. And right now... Chem Brรปlรฉe looks perfectly comfortable. 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 We're Not Removing Leaves Just Because We Can Another thing worth mentioning at this stage is canopy management. Earlier in the grow, removing foliage had a clear purpose. Opening the canopy. Improving access. Managing structure. Creating space. But now? We don't need to remove healthy leaves simply because they're there. Those leaves are working. They're capturing photons. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're supporting the plant. So we're not looking at defoliation as something that needs to happen automatically every week. If something genuinely needs attention, we'll deal with it. If an area becomes excessively crowded, we'll assess it. If airflow needs help, we'll respond. But otherwise... let her work. Chem Brรปlรฉe doesn't need to be turned into a skeleton to flower beautifully. She needs a healthy, functional canopy. And that's what we're maintaining. 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 Flowers Are Taking Over The Story The further we move into flowering, the more the flowers become the main story. And they're looking beautiful. The pistils remain prominent. The flower structures are becoming more defined. The resin is becoming increasingly obvious. And slowly... the individual flowers are becoming substantial structures rather than simply flowering sites. That's the transformation we're here to document. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. Observation by observation. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is giving us a particularly interesting one. She's not simply becoming a flowering plant. She's becoming a very specific expression of Chem Brรปlรฉe. And that distinction is 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“ธ The Camera Is Loving This Girl I have to admit... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is becoming a very enjoyable subject. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The wide photographs show the plant's overall structure. The height. The branches. The flowering sites. But the close-ups? That's where she really starts talking. The frost. The pistils. The sugar leaves. The developing flowers. The textures. The tiny details. Those photographs allow us to see what the naked eye sometimes misses. And when you compare them with the earlier weeks... you can see just how much she has changed. One photograph is a moment. An entire diary is a story. And hers is becoming a very interesting 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”€ Same Room. Different Answer. This is still the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared conditions. Shared environmental philosophy. Shared lighting. Shared irrigation. Shared nutritional strategy. And yet... twelve different answers. Some plants are compact. Some are tall. Some develop dense structures. Some spread. Some express their flowers differently. Some show their personality immediately. Others take longer. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has definitely given us one of the more distinctive answers. She's tall. She's individual. She's increasingly frosty. And she's developing a character that belongs entirely to her. That's what makes phenotype work so fascinating. 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 Chem Brรปlรฉe Is Becoming Herself If I had to describe what I'm seeing now, I'd say the picture is becoming clearer. At the beginning, we had possibilities. Now we have evidence. We can see her structure. We can see her flowering style. We can see her resin development. We can see her relationship with the canopy. We can see her personality. She's not trying to be another phenotype. She's not trying to follow the plant next door. She's simply expressing what she is. And that's exactly what I want. Because the goal of this project isn't to force twelve plants into one shape. It's to give twelve plants the opportunity to show us what they're capable of. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is taking that opportunity. And she's doing it beautifully. 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 Photon Experiment Continues The addition of the two Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures adds another fascinating layer to the 8ร—8 Adventure. We're now testing a considerably more capable lighting setup. But we're not simply pushing the fixtures to their limits. We increased the available light. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. We reduced the output. Now we're around 59% power. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And less electricity being used than if we simply ran the fixtures at full power. That's a result I'm very happy with. The experiment isn't about proving that more watts are always better. It's about finding the useful level. The practical level. The level where the plants can make good use of the photons while the rest of the environment remains balanced. And Chem Brรปlรฉe is right there helping us answer that question. 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, the plan is beautifully simple. Keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep the environment stable. Keep irrigation consistent. Keep the nutrition appropriate. Keep monitoring the lighting. And let Chem Brรปlรฉe continue doing what she does. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development โ„๏ธ Increasing resin coverage ๐ŸŒฟ Healthy foliage ๐Ÿ’ก Response to the stronger lighting environment ๐Ÿ’ง Water demand ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental stability ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Air movement through the canopy ๐Ÿ“ˆ Increasing flower definition and density There's no need to force the next chapter. It's coming naturally. We're simply going to be there to document 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”€ ๐Ÿฎ Final Thoughts โ€“ Her Own Kind Of Shine There are weeks in a grow where the grower does a lot. And then there are weeks where the most important thing the grower can do... is step back. This is one of those weeks. We added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We tested the increased lighting capability. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We made a small increase to Terra Bloom. The EC moved slightly higher to approximately 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A doesn't need us constantly interfering with her. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's getting frosty. She's developing beautifully. And she's doing it in a way that belongs entirely to her. That's what I want to see. Not a perfect copy of another plant. Not a phenotype forced into a particular shape. Her. Exactly as she is. The lights are stronger. The photons are flying. The nutrition has moved slightly. The environment remains stable. And Chem Brรปlรฉe? She's shining. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก So keep doing what you're doing, girl. Keep building. Keep frosting up. Keep showing us what this particular expression can become. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of 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”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and, more importantly, to document this individual phenotype from seed through flowering. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the nutrition helping these girls continue their flowering journey. And a massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. Being able to increase the available lighting, measure the result, adjust the output and find a practical operating point has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also reducing unnecessary electricity consumption. That's exactly the kind of real-world testing I love. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore lighting as a three-dimensional environment. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person stopping by to see how these girls are developing. You're all part of this adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve different stories. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is writing one of them. She's tall. She's distinctive. She's becoming increasingly frosty. She's developing beautiful flowers. And she's doing it her own way. The lighting is stronger. The nutrition has moved slightly. The environment remains stable. And now... we let her continue. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Because sometimes the best thing a grower can do is provide the conditions, pay attention, and step back. Chem Brรปlรฉe doesn't need us to force her story. She's already writing it. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this beautiful girl shows us next. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance. 9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn. She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy. 9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come! I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings. I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰ and let her enjoy her meal! ๐Ÿ˜œ 9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering. ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™~

Hello folks ๐Ÿ˜Ž Welcome for the first week of flowering ( 45 days veg )โœŠ they reacted well to the transition to 12/12 day/night just the little one begins to show signs of deficiency but it makes sense given the size of the pot ( 6L) Still no nutrients, just rhizotonic with aprox 4.5 liters of water every 5/6 days At the end of the week (day 7) I swaped the MH 400W with my new kit the Hellion 600 / 750W DE-HPS, in my opinion it's a must have if you're a fan of HPS ๐Ÿ’ช See you next week Peace Love & Weed GD Fam๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘Š
