Well today is day 84 and she's just about done.. I flushed her with 3 gallons of water twice in the last week and now I'm just feeding water to a little runoff for another day or two.. I want to point out that this plant smells exactly like blueberry Pop-Tarts.. that is not an exaggeration it is literally the same smell.. I really really hope that that doesn't go away and stays throughout the cure.. hopefully this weather cools down so I can dry it at an appropriate temperature and not lose these precious terpenes that smell so good.. this is my second fast buds grow the first was kosher cake and that was awesome I tried the Afghan Kush but I ended up getting rid of her because of too many mutations and I didn't have the room for plant that wasn't going to grow right.. so two out of three so far have been great I know this flower is going to be awesome.. hope everyone is doing well and happy growing โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Last week I fought some yellowing of the leaves. Did some small adjustments on PH to keep it in the 5.6 range. Seemed to stop it from progressing. For Week 3 Veg I topped the plants. I plan to flip the lights at the end of week 3 and move into flower. Day 15 I continued to have yellowing leaves even though I had everything looking right. (Added Pic). I decided to look into the PH to see if I was having issues with it. I have a meter in the water 100% of the time taking a reading every 1 sec. It all looked right. But I decided to Calibrate it in 4,7,10 solutions. Found out that my meter was off. So new to the check list is to calibrate the meter before each grow. I was thinking my PH was High, when in reality it was low. put in some PH up to get it back to 5.5 and over the last 16 hours things look pretty good. Leaves look darker. Day 17 Things are looking good. Leaves are getting darker and new growth coming in. Day 18 Turned room temp down to 73F from 76F. Fearing it is warming up my res tank too much. Day 19 Starting to get yellowing again. checked everything and can't find a good reason for it. Did notice some cloudiness in my res tank. Added 2 ML/Gal of peroxide. have Hydroguard on the way to help. I'll be adding more fans this weekend. I have light air movement currently. Also found a few spider mites and sprayed Greencleaner to all plants. Current environment settings: Room Temp 72.74 F Room Humidity 63.63% (After spraying, Trending down). Room CO2 589PPM Tank PH 5.70 Tank PPM (500 Scale) 953 Tank Temp 74.05 F Day 20 Recalibrated my EC probe just to be sure it was also accurate. wasn't off by much. Dialed back my flooding to every 5 hours to encourage Rooting. <-- Strong roots = strong Plants Sprayed for mites

Hello Diary, I apologize right away for the large number of photos, but it is important for me to document as best I can. This week I also photographed on a black background because they are really beautiful plants. So Medusa F1 is incredibly fast, after only four weeks of flowering, the first Medusa F1 is approaching harvest. I checked the trichomes under a microscope and most of them are milky, on the lower branches the ratio is 50/50. So I will wait a few more days, monitor the situation and harvest at the right time. This time I photographed the second Medusa, a really beautiful plant, but it has not yet matured like the first one. Considering the number of photos, I will not describe the appearance too much, therefore the smell, incredible. No other strain has had such an intense and strong smell so far on my small farm, I am very much looking forward to trying this new strain. Watering is more frequent, every three days I water them with almost 4 liters of water per plant. The conditions are excellent, 25 degrees and less than 40% humidity in the air. Here's how it went last week. 09/03/2023 - Day - 44. Watering. I lowered the p.H. at 6.0 and with 7 liters of water, I watered both plants evenly. 12/03/2023 - Day - 47. Watering and checking trichomes with a microscope. I repeated the watering procedure as I did three days earlier. 14/03/2023 - Day - 49. Photography and video. this time, after the grow box, I also photographed the plants on a black background. It was worth every effort. This weekend I also visited Spannabis, a great event and I'm really grateful to have met some new people in the industry and also some great growers. I'll definitely see you next year. That's all for this week, thanks everyone for your support and comments and see you next week.

Still just a waiting on the light shift, lol. This is what's left, Black Widow! My neighbor took the Banner and botched it. The Skywalker in the ground died. This is all that's left, lol. I hope it turns out decent! I been cultivating, with my wife, some Early Miss, Wedding Cake, Gelato, Fucking Incredible. We've harvested 1 early miss, 1 wedding cake,and 1 gelato so far. We have 1 fucking incredible coming down in a few weeks and waiting on 4 more early miss, 1 gelato, 2 fucking incredible, and 1 wedding cake. Obviously plus the widow.

Moin moin aus dem hohen Norden Deutschlands........ Den Ladys geht es ganz gut denke ich bin auf jeden Fall zufriedener als bei Meinen anderen grows. Am Montag den 23. 01.23 habe ich die ersten 3 Ladys aus ihren 1Liter Tรถpfen befreit und sie in ihr endgรผltiges Zuhause umgetopft (15L Stoff Tรถpfe) die Erde (Bio bizz) wurde mit 75 gramm startrex gut vermengt und ein pflanz Loch mit 5 gramm mycotrex vorbereitet, pflanze aus dem alten Topf raus in neues Zuhause rein und das ganze dann mit einer Lรถsung aus 1g/L bactrex und 5m/L orgatrex angegossen (jede Lady bekam 500ml). Am Mittwoch den 25.01.23 habe ich das ganze auch mit der 7 Tage jรผngeren Pflanze gemacht damit ich mit den Tabletten von Bio tabs relativ gleich auf bin was den Verbrauch betrifft da ich jetzt 4 Wochen warte und Dann umstelle auf 12/12. Plan von mir ist in der nรคchsten Woche das erste topping zu vollziehen Dann 14 Tage Erholung noch mal toppen dadurch Hat sie ca 1 1/2 wochen Zeit sich zu erholen und dann geht es in die blรผte. bis dahin (also die nรคchsten 4 Wochen) gibt es jetzt erstmal nur Wasser..... Dann wieder mal eine Lรถsung aus 5ml/L orgatrex und 1g/L bactrex und ab der 4. Blรผte Woche fรคngt erst das wirkliche Arbeiten an mit dem Dรผnger (Tee brauen) boha freue ich mich darauf ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ das war es auch fรผr diese Woche...... Edit: die oben gezeigten Angaben zu den Dรผnger Mitteln Mycotrex= gramm angabe Bactrex= gramm angabe Startrex= gramm angabe Bio tabs = Stรผckzahl pro topf Orgatrrex= ml/L

Back Again , well the FBT09/Sour Diesel plants are looking fine . The normal plant is looking really good and has very distinct spiked leaves . It also has a slightly tighter internodal spacing than the its sisters all except for Tester 2 which is the bushiest. The other plant (polyploid) is also bushy but in a mutant abstract type growth pattern , It has two heads even tho I never topped it . ๐Ÿ‘ฝ This is a Freaky plant hope it produces some freaky Buds ๐Ÿ˜ I gave the girls a feed of Mr B's Green Trees Bloom Mix (third of a cup per pot) and a qtr tspoon of Great White. Thats it for this weeks update Be Back Next Year.๐Ÿ‘

The plants have had a considerable growth spurt, and some roots are starting to show on the surface of the soil. Iโ€™ve added Cal-Mag since the soil is low in nutrients and the water in my area has a low EC . I performed a defoliation of the first three nodes. Some of the branches are starting to take on a slight purple hue. Iโ€™m switching to a 12/12 light cycle now.

The germination i forgot to take pictures so i just have a video of the first 3 strains i started before the other seeds arrived. I used the same metod for all of them 24h in the glass of water after that 48h in the cotton pads in the zip lock bag with 3 sprays of water on the cotton pads and 1 spray when inside the zip lock bag is closed untill 80% leaving a small gap for them to breath. I decided to plant them after that in the final resting pot for this strain in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I used the following media on the bottom of the fabric pot i used 10% of Goldlabel HydroCorn after filled up with Advanced Nutrients coco cultivator (50% coco 30% perelite 20% pebbles) and i mixed on the media some Azos , Mykos and Great White The light schedule for the first 5 days was 24/0 and after that i change for 18/06 schedule. Just water the plants on the 15/06 i think all my seedlings are stuned because my light is too strong for them and the light is dimed to 25% waiting on my new seedling light the Spider Farmer SF1000EVO LED should arrive just on wednesday because they are stunned i decided to call week 1 veg on the 16/06. And my light meter for lux is saying i have 8600Lux converted is 148 and my dli on meter from the phone is saying 150 so its 3x times more the recomended i just dont understand if this phone app is working correctly. Update on the order from spider farmer from Ebay (Order the item on a thursday and the order was not updated on ebay on the following Monday so decided to contact them to understand when i am gonna receive my order i was told true ebay that my item as been shipped and i will receive an update within 1 hour to tell what time the item will be delivered. So never received any message giving my time slot delivery. Never received the item and at 21pm the tracking updeted on Ebay saying delivered so i contected them next day to be told that the courrier actually lost my order and that they will reshippe the order again but was told i need to wait 2 buiness days for the warehouse to processe my order beacuse they are busy what i replied that why should be me the costumer that needs to wait 5 or 6 more days for the order to arrive to me that they should send me the item on the same day and send me with one day delivery. The ansewer was they could not do it so i cancell the order asked for a refund and never more use their products appailing costumer service)

Awh crap - I think Iโ€™ve pushed it too far ๐Ÿคฃ after topping off 31 tops, the plant responded TERRIBLY this week Leaves are telling me some sort of nutrient issue? Been trying to make up for it in nutrients but honestly I donโ€™t know how much is too much or little? ALSO itโ€™s still in a 1 gallon lmao - any tips?? What could we be seeing here?

09/20/2018 Today's the day we flip to 12-12 and full strength nutes, roots have filled in nicely,and she is growing,I fear if I don't flower now she may get to big for my tent, I'm hoping that she only stretches 1.5-2 x,but if she got the sweet pink grapefruit genes it could be a 3x stretch that I hoped for. But we will see .let the magic begin! 09/24/2018 Supercropping, and scrog day 4 after flip stretched,4-6" ,canopy will fill out quickly. The 9fingered leaves i am guessing are from grapefruit genes,as I have not previously had more than 7 fingered leaves on Captains Cake,Star Cookie,or Mystery Cookie plants. Might get nice stretch from their offspring,, which is partly why I chose these plants to Breed improve the stretch of Captains Cake as she didn't stretch much after 12-12 flip. Time will tell whether or not it worked.

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒธ Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ”ฅ Still Wild. Still Evolving. Letting the Beast Reach Her Own Finish Line. Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our beautiful Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A! ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ Now, my friends, I'm not going to pretend that we've done something spectacular to this girl this week. We haven't. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's doing her thing. She's continuing to evolve, moving through the later part of her flowering journey, and we're simply watching her progress. No big changes. No unnecessary interventions. No dramatic new plans. Just observation, consistency, photographs, and a little bit of appreciation for what this girl has become. And honestly? Sometimes that's exactly what a good update should be. Not every week needs a big event. Not every report needs a problem to solve. Sometimes the plant is doing her job, and the grower needs to know when to step back and let her continue. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ So let's give Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A her own spotlight this week. Because even when we're doing very little, she's still writing her own 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”ฅ THE WILD GIRL KEEPS DOING HER THING If you've been following this girl from the beginning, you'll know she's never been particularly interested in following anyone else's schedule. She's got her own personality. Her own structure. Her own rhythm. And now, as we move further into the later part of her journey, we're continuing to watch that expression develop. She's still evolving. We're still observing the flowers and the overall plant. And we're allowing her to continue toward her finish line without trying to force a particular date onto her. That's the important part. I'm not going to tell you she's finished next week. I'm not going to invent a harvest date. And I'm not going to make predictions just because we're getting deeper into the run. The calendar gives us context. The plant gives us something to observe. And we'll keep documenting what actually happens. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ For now, the wild girl is still here, still evolving, and still deserving of every bit of attention we give 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”€ ๐ŸŒธ NOT MUCH INTERVENTION โ€” AND THAT'S THE POINT Honestly, we're not doing much to this girl at the moment. We're observing. We're keeping an eye on her development. We're maintaining the shared environment. We're documenting the changes. And we're letting the plant continue her journey. Why create extra work when there's no specific problem demanding our attention? The structure is already there. The flowers have their own story. And this stage is about watching the plant develop rather than constantly finding something new to do. Sometimes growers can feel as though they need to intervene every week to prove they're doing something. But growing isn't measured by how often we touch a plant. Sometimes the work is maintaining consistency. Sometimes it's noticing a change. Sometimes it's recognising that the best thing we can do is leave the plant alone. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ And that's where we are with Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. We're not ignoring her. We're paying attention without inventing unnecessary interventions. There's a difference. 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 HER OWN PLANT, HER OWN TIMELINE One of my favourite parts of the 8ร—8 Adventure is seeing how differently these plants behave when they're sharing the same general environment. Some girls have been moving quickly. Others have taken their time. Some have developed very different structures from their neighbours. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has certainly established her own identity in this room. She's the wild girl. The one we've watched evolve week after week. The one with that impressive main cola and her own distinctive expression. And now we're letting her continue toward the next stage without rushing her. That's what individual phenotype diaries are all about. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're documenting what each plant actually does. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Different plants. Different expressions. Different timelines. And twelve opportunities to learn something new. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! Twelve plants. Different genetics and phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. And a whole lot of individual personalities. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ That's the idea behind this experiment. We keep the general conditions consistent and observe how the different plants develop within that shared environment. We can control many aspects of the room, but we cannot make every phenotype respond identically. And that's precisely why we give every plant her own report. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A doesn't need to have the same story as her sister or the other girls in the room. She needs to have her own story documented properly. So even when the weekly update is simple, she still gets her own chapter. Because the quiet weeks are part of the journey too. 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 ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES The lighting setup remains part of the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series ecosystem. We're continuing with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment, with output previously reduced to approximately 59% from the plug. Our working reference remains around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with actual intensity varying according to plant height and position. The important point is that we're not simply running everything at maximum because we have the capacity to do so. Having additional lighting capability gives us more flexibility. The goal is to work with the setup we have, maintain the shared environment, and observe how the different plants respond. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A continues her journey beneath that artificial sun. Same photons. Same room. Her own expression. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying those additional Black Series fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this upgraded setup throughout 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”ด THE RED-LIGHT UPDATE โ€” WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING? Let's revisit the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Since we're discussing this across our individual reports this week, I want to keep the explanation consistent and, most importantly, scientifically accurate. Plants don't just respond to the amount of light they receive. They also respond to its wavelength and timing. One important group of photoreceptors is the phytochrome system, which responds to red and far-red light and helps plants interpret changes in their light environment. Red and far-red wavelengths can influence plant signalling, but their effects depend on the spectrum, intensity, duration, timing, and physiological state of the plant. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is part of the lighting routine we're documenting. However, we're not going to claim that those 15 minutes automatically improve flowering, increase yield, or guarantee a better finish. Those are specific outcomes that would need evidence. We're recording the routine, learning about the underlying science, and keeping our conclusions separate from our assumptions. That's how we should approach these techniques. Curiosity is good. Experimentation is interesting. But understanding what we're actually testing is even better. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฑ 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 EMERSON EFFECT โ€” A LITTLE PHOTOSYNTHESIS EDUCATION While we're discussing light, let's talk about the Emerson effect. It's a fascinating and well-established phenomenon in photosynthesis. In simplified terms, the Emerson effect describes how photosynthetic activity can increase when certain red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together, producing a response greater than expected from their individual effects under the relevant experimental conditions. Why? Photosynthesis uses two cooperating photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) Both play important roles in the light-dependent reactions that convert light energy into chemical energy. The photosystems have different light-absorption characteristics, and their cooperation is essential to photosynthesis. Under suitable conditions, combining particular wavelengths can improve the balance between their activity and increase the overall photosynthetic response. That's the basic principle behind the Emerson effect. But here's the important distinction: The Emerson effect does not mean that adding a short red-light period after the main lights automatically produces the same response. The classic phenomenon concerns the combined effects of red and far-red wavelengths under particular illumination conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is a different situation, and we shouldn't automatically attribute a measurable benefit to it. The actual spectrum matters. The intensity matters. The timing matters. And the result we want to measure matters. So yes, the Emerson effect is real and scientifically interesting. But we need to distinguish the established phenomenon from the specific lighting routine we're using in this grow. That's how we turn interesting information into useful knowledge. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’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”€ ๐ŸŒ™ RED LIGHT, FAR-RED LIGHT, AND THE END OF THE DAY One final point worth remembering: Red light and far-red light are not interchangeable. They interact with plant photoreceptors in different ways, and the response depends on the precise conditions. A short red-light period after the main lighting period isn't automatically equivalent to a far-red treatment, nor does either treatment guarantee a particular outcome. For this adventure, we're documenting our additional 15-minute red-light period as part of the current lighting routine. We're explaining the science behind plant responses to light. And we're avoiding claims that go beyond what we can establish from the information available. If we want to determine whether this particular treatment makes a measurable difference, we'd need suitable comparisons and measurements. Until then, let's keep learning, keep observing, and keep asking good questions. That's what makes a grow diary more than a collection of photographs. It's a record of the process and the things we learn along the way. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE ROOM The general nutritional program remains consistent with the shared setup. Our current recipe reference remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L The previous solution readings were approximately pH 6.04 and EC 2.05 mS/cm. We're keeping the overall approach consistent while continuing to observe each plant individually. And as Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A approaches her own finish line, we're not going to make decisions based on the week number alone. We'll continue assessing her development and decide on any changes when there's a reason to do so. No unnecessary drama. No invented work. Just observation and consistency. 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 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The shared room setup continues to be documented using the following reference readings: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting โ€” Future of Grow Black Series, upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” 59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~61% โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” ~6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation reference โ€” ~1.45 L per plant / 24h These are the shared room references from the previous update, not a claim that every reading has been independently remeasured this week. Same room. Same general strategy. Same lighting ecosystem. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A continues developing in 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”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ SOME WEEKS, THE BEST UPDATE IS SIMPLY ANOTHER LOOK I think it's important to say this. Not every report needs a dramatic change. Not every week needs a new technique. Not every photograph needs to show something completely different. Sometimes the value is in continuing to document the same plant over time. Because when we look back at the complete diary, those individual weeks become part of a much bigger picture. We can follow the structure. We can observe the changes. We can compare photographs. We can see how her development unfolded. And we can remember what we were seeing at each stage. That's the point of keeping the diary going. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A doesn't need a new headline-grabbing event this week. She's still here. She's still evolving. And we're still watching. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“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”€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. And this week? She's doing her thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š We're not making big changes. We're not trying to invent a new intervention. We're not rushing her toward a date on the calendar. We're observing. We're documenting. We're maintaining the shared environment. And we're allowing her to continue toward her own finish line. She's already given us plenty of interesting chapters throughout this adventure, and she still deserves her own spotlight, even when the update is simply about continuing to evolve. We've also used this week's report to revisit our red-light routine and the Emerson effect. Because sharing a grow means sharing what we learn, but it also means being honest about what the science does and doesn't establish. The Emerson effect is a real photosynthetic phenomenon involving the cooperation of photosystems under particular illumination conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is something we're documenting, not proof that we're reproducing that effect or guaranteeing a particular result. We can be curious without making promises. We can experiment without pretending we already know the outcome. And we can keep learning while the plants continue their journey. That's the spirit of this adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ So, Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A... Keep doing your thing, wild girl. Keep evolving. Keep moving toward your finish line. We're not going to rush you. We're not going to invent work for ourselves. We're simply going to keep watching and appreciate the journey you've given us. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One phenotype at a time. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ 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 the Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this individual phenotype throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒธ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. ๐ŸŒฑ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy.

Another week closer to the finish line and the Chicken N' Wafflez continued to mature beautifully. Temperatures remained stable at 24ยฐC during lights on and 20ยฐC at night with a steady 50% RH, creating a comfortable environment for late flower development. ๐ŸŒฑ The most noticeable change this week was the continued increase in resin production. The buds and sugar leaves became even more coated in trichomes, giving the plant a frosted appearance from top to bottom. โ„๏ธ The fade also progressed significantly, with deep purple tones spreading across much of the foliage and adding a lot of visual appeal. ๐Ÿ’œ Bud development continued as well, although the flowers seemed to stack more vertically than expand outward. While they did gain some additional mass, the most obvious change was their increased length and structure rather than overall width. The main cola especially continued to build upward and now stands out as an impressive spear-shaped top. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Feeding remained very simple this week with only water and CalMag. Water consumption stayed consistent, showing that the plant is still actively transpiring but has likely entered the final stages of maturation. ๐Ÿ’ง The aroma profile is becoming more defined. Alongside the sweet jam-like notes, a subtle spicy character has emerged, backed by a light gassy undertone. The combination creates a rich and unique scent that becomes more noticeable every day. ๐Ÿฏ Trichome development is progressing nicely, with the majority now appearing milky while a smaller portion remains clear. Harvest is getting closer, but there is still a little room left for the plant to finish ripening. โœจ Overall, Week 12 was defined by increased frost, stronger colors, continued bud stacking and steady maturation. The Chicken N' Wafflez is looking healthy, highly resinous and is shaping up to be a very attractive late-flower plant. ๐ŸŒฟ
