So this week I decided to defoliate and lollipop . I wanted to wait like atleast some more days but I got bit worried they get to bushy and crowded and now I still have the same feeling afterwards but it looks a bit better to me . Next week I will add some bloom booster with every watering . I removed my humidifier now and think about some more and heavier defoliation and lollipopping but I will let them relax now . Super silver haze is stacking up insane while orange bud is forming some more pine like buds Iโ€™d say at this point . No big smells except the classic weed smell coming from the super silver haze . Sheโ€™s qualifying for a solo grow for the next time for me like the gorilla cookies from fast buds wich I also liked a lot

Hey everyone! Here's the Week 6 update! ๐Ÿ˜€ and I had some issues! Nothing too serious but still worth mentioning! I had some kind of algae growing in my medium so I stopped watering the plants for a while (I used to feed them twice a week) and I just did it once this week to wait for the plants to use more of the water inside their pots and I think it did work! I also removed most of the soil on the top to avoid spreading anything dangerous to my plants! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Besides that I started doing a more aggressive LST and I also pruned some of the bigger sugar leafs ๐Ÿ˜ฒ My plants were also somewhat overfed (or I was close to nutrient locking them) as some of their leafs were quite dark (you'll be able to notice the difference from the color of the new leafs vs the old ones) so for the next schedules I'll just feed them once per week or feed them once then go only with pH'd water and then go back to fertilizers to avoid damaging the plant! ๐Ÿ’€ On another note, the smallest plant has grown quite well so next week I'll be swapping her to a new por! I think she deserves it! The 3rd plant now has a name and it's "Boomer"! ๐Ÿ˜ I also decided to go for 4 colas instead of 8 because the size available in my tent is small and I don't want risking my plants fighting for light in such a small space! ๐Ÿ˜ข Anyway, thanks everyone for reading everything so far! Take care! ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

This week flushing the wedding cake i thought that was the problem was an excess of nutrients, but instead the water was quite clean, around 1100ppm at the first drain, after several flushes water is now on 600ppm.. It seems that the others are starting to have the same deficiency that hit wedding # 2 .. now I'm treating them with 0.5ml of cal-mag adding it to the other nutrients for once a week (except wedding # 2) I will wait for the soil to dry out, to give her only clean water since the final harvest is not long. โš ๏ธ UPDATE DAY 45 โš ๏ธ Yesterday flush for dos si dos and today flush for (wedding cake 1) they are having a nutrient lockout too..๐Ÿ˜ช The (wedding cake 1) is clearly healthier than her sister (wedding cake 2) by looking at her color, but unfortunately she had excessive PPM / EC too.. So i did the same procedure by using only tap water, but this time added only 0,5ml of cal-mag. Water was at 6.5 ph until I got a better runoff, it went from 5.7 to 6.0 PH and from 1800 to 700-600ppm ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I have never thought of overdoing nutrients so much.. I will certainly learn a lot from these mistakes ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

1st Transplant took about an hour. Last year I had 3 plants and this year I'm doing 15 times that. For this 1st strain. I have about 18 strains but this was the most abundant allowing more room for error since I skipped 2020 growing season. Very excited for the challenge ahead. Few plants that are taller than others, most are around the same height with a few shorties. Support needed on several plants that aren't standing straight on their own. I may have had them in the starter pods 1-2 days too long. Live, Love, Learn.

My first grow. It's been a long time coming. This grow is 4 plants, 4 strains in a 90x90x200 with a 440w LED. Bruce Banner #3 Gorilla Zskittles Amnesia Haze Blue Gelato 41 The Banner and Skittles broke the soil successfully this week but unfortunately the Amnesia and Gelato didn't cut the mustard. Successfully germinated on second attempt however this means they are a little behind the the other 2 for now. I have the light dimmed to around 20% as the ladies were showing signs of having too much light, a slight yellowing to the ends of the leaves on the Skittles? This was with the light at around 50%. Will ramp this up slowly over the next couple of week once the other 2 break soil. UPDATE The Blue Gelato and the Amnesia Haze broke the soil a couple of days ago so they shouldn't be massively behind the other 2. Looking forward to seeing these ladies grow!

๐Ÿš‚ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno A Week 10 | Her Story, Her Rhythm, Her Spotlight ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ And here we are again with our Cash Express Pheno A. She's still doing exactly what she's been doing throughout this journey: Growing beautifully at her own rhythm. She's not trying to be the fastest. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to follow anybody else's schedule. She's simply becoming more and more herself with every passing week. And honestly... I really like that. Because when you have twelve different genetics sharing one room, the most interesting plants aren't necessarily the ones doing exactly what you expected. Sometimes it's the ones that look at your expectations and say: "Nope. I'm going to write my own story." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly what Cash Express Pheno A is doing. So this week, let's give her the attention she deserves. Let's look at her development, those beautiful white hairs, her individuality, and of course... let's talk photons. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ Because this girl deserves some light on her story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 10 โ€“ Still Doing It Her Way Cash Express Pheno A is currently sitting around 72 cm. And once again, the number itself doesn't really tell the story. She's not particularly tall. She's not trying to become the biggest plant in the room. But when you actually stop and look at her... there's something happening. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The flowering sites are developing. And the plant has that unmistakable feeling of moving further and further into her own expression. She's found her rhythm. And we're letting her keep it. That's one of the things I enjoy most about this entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We're not trying to make every plant behave the same. We're giving them a shared environment and watching what they do with it. And Cash Express Pheno A is giving us a very clear answer: "This is who I am." And I say... Go for it, girl. ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Those White Hairs Are Becoming Her Signature One of the things I've really started appreciating about this phenotype is the definition of those beautiful white pistils. They're becoming increasingly obvious in the photographs. They stand out against the surrounding foliage, giving the developing flowers a really distinctive appearance. And this is one of those details that becomes much easier to appreciate when you're documenting the plant week after week. At first, they're just tiny white hairs appearing around the early flowering sites. Then suddenly... you start seeing them everywhere. They become part of the identity of the plant. And with Cash Express, I really like how defined they are becoming. The flowers are developing at their own pace, but there's no mistaking that they're developing. She's progressing. She's building. She's becoming more recognizable every week. And that's what makes following a phenotype from the beginning so rewarding. You don't just see a flower. You see the story of how that flower got there. 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 Same Genetics. Different Story. This is something I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying. Same genetics do not necessarily mean identical plants. And the 8ร—8 Adventure has been giving us a front-row seat to that reality. Cash Express Pheno A has her own structure. Her own pace. Her own flower expression. Her own way of occupying the space. Put her beside another phenotype and suddenly the differences become obvious. One might stretch more. Another might branch more. Another might stay compact. Another might develop its flowers differently. And none of those differences necessarily mean one plant is "better." They're simply different expressions. And that's exactly what we're here to discover. Cash Express Pheno A isn't trying to be anybody else. She's making her own thing. And honestly... that's pretty damn cool. 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 Photons โ€“ Let's Give Her Something to Work With This week I want to put a little more attention on something that is fundamental to every plant in this room: light. Or, more specifically... photons. ๐Ÿ’ก Because when we look at these beautiful flowering plants, it's easy to focus only on what we can see. The flowers. The leaves. The pistils. The structure. But underneath all of that is an incredibly simple relationship. Light provides the energy source that drives photosynthesis. Photons arrive at the leaves. The plant captures that energy. And that energy becomes part of the biological machinery supporting everything we're watching develop. So when I look at Cash Express, I'm not simply looking at a plant underneath an LED. I'm looking at a plant sitting underneath an artificial sun. And every day, we're giving her another opportunity to turn that light into growth. That's pretty amazing when you stop and think about 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”€ โ˜€๏ธ Future of Grow โ€“ Our Artificial Sun The Future of Grow LEDs continue providing the primary lighting for the room. And this is one of the parts of the 8ร—8 Adventure that I particularly enjoy. Twelve different plants. One lighting environment. And then we watch how differently each one responds. The light doesn't tell Cash Express what shape to take. It doesn't tell her how tall to grow. It doesn't tell her how her flowers should develop. It simply provides the energy. The genetics take it from there. And this is why comparing these plants is so interesting. The photons are available to all of them. But every phenotype has its own way of using the opportunity. Cash Express is showing us her answer. And I'm very happy to keep watching. 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 Isn't Just About the Top of the Plant Another thing I love about our lighting strategy is that we're thinking about the canopy as a three-dimensional environment. Plants aren't flat. A flower isn't simply sitting directly underneath a light. There are leaves above it. Leaves beside it. Branches at different heights. Flowers facing different directions. Different parts of the plant naturally receive different amounts of light. That's where the additional Lumiflora lighting becomes particularly interesting. By bringing additional illumination into the inner and lower areas of the canopy, we're giving those less-exposed areas another opportunity to receive useful light. It's not about turning the plant into a Christmas tree covered in lights. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's about thinking about where the plant actually exists in three-dimensional space. Top. Middle. Inside. Below. Every part of the canopy has a different relationship with the light. And Cash Express is another beautiful example of why that 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Let the Plant Decide What to Do With the Light This is probably one of my favourite parts of growing. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. We can provide water and nutrition. We can manage temperature, humidity and airflow. But then... we have to step back. Because the plant takes over. Cash Express receives the same general opportunity as her sisters. And yet she's developing differently. That's genetics expressing themselves. That's the phenotype writing its own story. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing her to become something she's not. She's already telling me what she is. So I'm listening. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Consistency Where We Can Control It We're also continuing to keep the environmental side of the room as consistent as possible. Current conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: ~2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~639 ppm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: ~1.2 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ“ Height: ~72 cm Summer, of course, continues to make temperature management an ongoing little game. One degree up. One degree down. Another warm day. Another slightly cooler day. That's reality. So instead of obsessing over every tiny fluctuation, we're concentrating on maintaining the overall environment as stable as we reasonably can. The things we can control... we control. The things summer decides to control... well... we negotiate. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ 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€“ Keep the Plant Comfortable The nutritional strategy remains essentially unchanged. We're continuing with the flowering programme and keeping the solution around: pH 6.0 EC approximately 2.0 mS/cm There's no reason to start changing things simply because another week has passed. Cash Express is growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining good colour. And she's continuing her development. So we're allowing consistency to do its job. Sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. 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 Becoming More Defined When I look at the photographs this week, one thing really stands out. The flowers are becoming easier to read. The structure is becoming more obvious. The pistils are beautifully defined. And there's a growing sense that these little flowering sites are becoming something much more substantial. She's not rushing there. But she's getting there. And that's enough. This is another reason I love documenting the same plant week after week. If you only looked at her today, you might simply say: "Beautiful flower." But when you compare the photographs from earlier weeks... you can actually see the transformation. And that transformation is the real story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Finds the Details Cash Express has become one of those plants where the camera really helps me appreciate the little things. From a distance, she's another beautiful flowering plant inside a very busy room. But move closer... and suddenly there's another world. The pistils. The developing flower structure. The leaves surrounding the flowers. The way the branches carry their individual sites. The subtle differences in colour and texture. This is why I keep photographing everything. Because the eye sees the room. The camera sees the details. And together they tell a much better story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ Cash Express Doesn't Need to Hurry I think this is probably the most important thing I want to say about her this week. She's still growing at her own rhythm. And that's okay. There is no race. She's not competing against the plant next door. She's not competing against another phenotype. She's not competing against some imaginary calendar. She's simply moving through her own development. And if that means she takes a little longer to show us what she's capable of... I'm perfectly happy to wait. Because every week she gives us another little piece of the puzzle. And I like the picture we're getting. 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 Twelve Plants โ€“ Twelve Relationships With Light This is where the lighting experiment becomes particularly fascinating for me. The same room. The same general lighting philosophy. The same artificial sun. But twelve different plants interpreting that environment in twelve different ways. Some plants seem to want to reach toward the light. Some remain compact. Some build wide canopies. Some build tall structures. Some flower sites become immediately obvious. Others take their time. The photons are the common language. The genetics write the individual stories. And Cash Express Pheno A is definitely writing hers. She's saying: "Give me the light. Give me the time. I'll show you." So that's exactly what we're doing. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ 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 The coming weeks should become increasingly interesting. We're entering the stage where the flowers will continue developing their structure and density, while the plant maintains the architecture she's spent the entire grow creating. For now, we're keeping the fundamentals steady: ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow LEDs providing the main light ๐Ÿ’ก Lumiflora supporting the deeper canopy ๐Ÿ’ง Consistent irrigation โš—๏ธ Stable nutrition ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Controlled environment ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Good airflow โณ And patience No need to complicate things. She's doing what she needs to do. We'll continue watching. 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’ญ Final Thoughts โ€“ Give Her the Spotlight Cash Express Pheno A continues to remind me why I love this project. She's different. Not dramatically different. Not trying to scream for attention. But different enough that, week after week, her personality becomes clearer. She's growing at her own rhythm. She's developing beautiful flowers. And those defined white pistils have become one of the details I particularly enjoy about this phenotype. She's making her own story. Her own structure. Her own expression. And our job is simply to give her the opportunity to show it. The photons are there. The LEDs are doing their job. Future of Grow is providing the artificial sun. Lumiflora is helping bring that light deeper into the canopy. The environment is being kept as stable as summer allows. And Cash Express? She's doing what Cash Express does. Slowly. Beautifully. Her way. And that's enough. So this week, I'm not trying to change her. I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her bigger. I'm simply giving her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ Let's make her shine. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure and taking the time to watch these twelve individual stories develop. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different expressions can become. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout the journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for providing the LEDs powering our artificial sun and giving these girls the photons they need every day. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore the relationship between the plant and light from another angle. And of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing. It all makes this adventure that much more enjoyable. Cash Express Pheno A is still here. Still compact. Still beautiful. Still developing. Still doing things her own way. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Because this isn't about making twelve plants identical. It's about discovering twelve individual personalities. And this girl? She's definitely got one. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep giving her those photons. And most importantly... let's make her shine. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ก Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Ended up cutting all of the front left plant this week and majority of the back two plants. Guna let the lowers get some light for a few more days. Really noticing all the tiny ass buds. Hopefully I'll make something out of them. First run with a net and I just left way too many branches/bud sites for this size of plants they were. Buds look good though. Flushing last plant and will be cutting in a few days.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didnโ€™t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didnโ€™t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when Iโ€™m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didnโ€™t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues
