Unfortunately, the plant didn't handle my absence very well. It got way too hot inside the greenhouse, and my neighbor was a bit too generous with the nutrients while not allowing enough runoff (drain). I flushed the plant today—the initial runoff was at a critical 2200 PPM, but I managed to flush it down to a stable 800 PPM. I really hope she recovers quickly now. I have to leave for another two-week work trip this coming Monday, so I'm hoping she bounces back by then so I can leave with peace of mind🙈😀

12/11Might be a day early but I'm calling it the start of a new week. The ladies have been looking super unhappy last couple days determined they were root bound so got em put into their final home this morning. Chop and dropped cover crop put thin layer of mixture of BAD worm castings and Coast of Maine lobster compost and watered in with goodies. Set the ppfd to 300 and vpd closer to 1.0 12/13 everyone is looking happier but a bit hungry mixed up light foliar mainly for one girl but gave it to all of em. Inoculated the bed with BB+, Gnarly barley, and Kashi Gold, put down straw layer and watered in some wdg3000. 12/16 top dressed around each plant with craft blend and ocean blend and a mixture of castings and compost. Then watered in a quart each with all the goodies

There is little to say yet. I recommend everyone to try this technique at least once. Maximize your harvest and increase your personal experience. If you want more serious proof of how mainlining works, take a look at the diaries of @Canamatoes, my teacher and mentor. More updates later, stay high🤘😁🦄

It's getting bigger and frostier. The mold on the rockwool is gone and she didn't have mildew after all. The smell is gorgeous, I have never seen anything like it.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 7 | Stealing the Spotlight Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! This week belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno B. Some plants quietly move through each stage without drawing too much attention. Others somehow make you stop every time you walk into the room. This girl has become one of those plants. She isn't the biggest in the room, nor is she trying to compete for height alone, but everything about her feels... right. She's growing with elegance. Every internode is spaced beautifully, every branch has found its place, and from the base of the plant all the way to the main top, the leaf formation is simply gorgeous. She's entering the fourth week of flower exactly where she should be. Not behind. Not ahead. Just perfectly on schedule. If plants carried calendars, she'd be checking every box. 🌿 A Phenotype Finding Her Rhythm One of the goals of this project is seeing how twelve different cultivars express themselves while sharing exactly the same environment. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is becoming one of my favourites to observe because she's making everything look effortless. Standing around 130 cm tall, she has developed into a beautiful, elegant plant with long, healthy branches and excellent internodal spacing. The open structure allows light to reach deep into the canopy while maintaining fantastic airflow between the branches. It's the kind of architecture growers hope for but can't always create through training alone. Sometimes genetics simply do the work for you. 🌼 Buds Beginning to Tell the Story This week the flowers have taken another noticeable step forward. Every growing tip is now covered with fresh white pistils, and the individual bud sites are beginning to connect into what will soon become long, stacked colas. The stretch is gradually slowing down as more energy is redirected into flower production. The main top has become more defined, while the secondary branches are quickly catching up, creating a very balanced canopy from top to bottom. She's no longer just showing flowers. She's beginning to build them. Watching this transition happen is always one of my favourite parts of the flowering cycle. 🌱 Letting Genetics Shine Very little intervention has been needed this week. Apart from a little leaf tucking and allowing the branches to spread naturally, she's been left to do what she does best. The AutoPot system continues doing an outstanding job, delivering consistent moisture and nutrition around the clock. It's amazing how relaxed plants become when they never have to wonder when their next drink is coming. Combined with the stable environment inside the room, this phenotype has been able to focus entirely on growing instead of recovering from unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best technique is simply creating the perfect conditions and stepping back. 🍽️ Feeding This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus whenever required. The nutrient increase made this week was applied to the entire reservoir, and Chem Brûlée Pheno B has responded exactly as hoped, maintaining beautiful colour and healthy, vigorous growth throughout the canopy. 🌡️ Environment Stable conditions continue making all the difference. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent allows every phenotype to express its full potential without unnecessary environmental stress. The room is working exactly as intended, and this plant is making the most of it. 📸 Behind This Week's Photos Looking through this week's photographs, it's impossible not to appreciate how naturally elegant this phenotype has become. The close-up images highlight fresh clusters of white pistils forming at every node, while the wider shots reveal a beautifully symmetrical plant with outstanding spacing from the bottom branches all the way to the top cola. One of my favourite details is the leaf structure. Every fan leaf seems perfectly positioned without overcrowding the canopy, creating a plant that's not only healthy but incredibly photogenic. Sometimes a plant doesn't need to shout to stand out. She simply grows beautifully. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the vertical stretch to come to an end as Chem Brûlée Pheno B shifts her full attention toward flower production. The individual bud sites should begin merging together, the pistil count will continue increasing, and the first real signs of bud stacking should become much more noticeable. The plan remains exactly the same. Maintain the environment. Keep the AutoPot reservoir stable. Continue observing. And let this beautiful phenotype keep telling her own story. So far... She's absolutely stealing the spotlight. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy following along, I'm incredibly grateful to have you sharing this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge and inspire one another. 🍮 Zamnesia for the outstanding Chem Brûlée genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting from seed to harvest. 🌿 LumiFlora for helping illuminate the lower canopy and ensuring every potential flower site receives the light it deserves. 🌡️ TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment around the clock. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation effortless and allowing these plants to grow at their own natural rhythm. And finally... Thank you to every grower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and curious visitor who follows these diaries week after week. Your encouragement and conversations make sharing this journey incredibly rewarding. I'll see you all next week as Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues showing exactly why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. Sometimes perfection isn't about being the biggest plant in the room... It's about growing exactly as nature intended. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone. 🌱🍮💚

4. Woche Alle Ladys wurden 3x getoppt, jetzt mache ich eigentlich nicht mehr viel, nur noch bisschen in Form bringen und dann dürfen die Ladys wachsen, wie sie wollen 😁

Day 79, 28th of November 2020: Hi there! Here we go let's say half way. Plants are pretty these Original Sensible Seeds genetics are fantastic! The 2 OG and the Runtz Gum is very strechy. Black Ghost is pretty shorter bushier plant. Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG approx the same height Do-Si-Dos OG is taller a bit. Wedding Gelato is really cool little, bushy anf nice buds forming not problem with her all she is quiet. Do-Si-Dos OG has some deficiency and leaf gets dry but nothing very serious..... Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Been a busy week here at The Garden. The autos that have popped are really starting to take off now and we've germinated seeds to make up for the ones we so ignorantly lost. This week we are cranking up the MH lights from 500w to 750w in the auto room. We started our nutrient regimen in the clone room where we have our MK Ultra clones. The mother room/closet is pretty much ready, we just need to install exhaust and a couple fans and the mother plants will be moved in. We also added 2 new aerocloners we made for about 60 bucks each. We took clones from 4 different plants and will do more later this week. They are working great and if you want to know how to build one don't hesitate to ask, I'll explain. I'll have a short video on our YouTube page soon on it as well. We also added another big humidifier we picked up for 5 bucks at an auction. That should help get the humidity up a bit, we're still not hitting our target VPD. Our environment isn't hurting us at this stage, but it could be better.

Welcome guys Last few things to say about this nice strain, the SOMANGO 🌱 Originally was breded by Soma sacred seeds, but this is the @supersiberia version And it's a good choise 💯 Anyway, back to the harwest time 👇 The whole plant is placed in a cupboard upside down, after the cut, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly...I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag..for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed ⏳ Then I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers 🔥 About taste and effects 👇 The flavours in smoking are exactly the same you can smell before burning the buds, tropical woody with sweets notes back The effect is more about staying chill an watching or listening something. In the beginning more mind stone, then it goes trought the body and makes you relax. Is not my first choise but in the end is enjoyable ! The plant in growing is also great to see, especially if you do some technique 👌 I have growed her in a 3,5l airpot (not the original) with organic liquids nutrients, added in to a soil/cocco/humus and perlite base But if you want to learn more about, check out all my previous weeks 📆 📆 And that's all.. I want to thanks @supersiberia for the seeds 👍👍👍 And to @growdiaries for make this possible 🙏 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

The plants are doing well. Go on.

Week 6 of flower - again, I prefer to call it the end of week 7 because this chick is mere days from done. She's a straight fuck'n enigma to be honest. Earlier in the week I was sure she was gett'n the knife on the weekend. Now I'm almost positive I can push a little more outta her. She's fading out beautifully now but the trichs are sooooo close to our harvest wheelhouse. General uniformity in cloudiness throughout, little amber on the tops and some racy mirrored trichs on the underbelly👌. Swapped the res. and we'll top off on plain water moving forward to the full finish I think. I expect this to be the last update before the chop. We were hoping for a well-rounded basketball and ended up with a warped beachball monster👌. She's squat and the buds start from literally the base of the plant. Gonna go out on a limb and guess min. 4oz. at this point. Dense resinous beast💪. Not long now ya'll. Tip 'O The Week This weeks bullshit is about pick'n ur spot when it comes time to harvest. Some folks like their weed racy and heart palpatation inducing, others like it sedative and ..... ahhh fuck it. I’m way too high to be soapboxing right now. Summary: Wait until she’s done and then get the scissors out!👍. Background From Exotic Seeds, Herz OG is a 4th gen. Cross of GG4 and black lemon autos, crossed again with a photo Herz OG mother. Supposedly piney, honey and woody tones with a calm relaxing effect. Just what the lady of the house ordered. She’ll be straight DWC like the rest. 2 weeks on the drip line and depending on how they all do, this may be the girl that stays under the Spider Farmers for the duration. My first go with Exotic so no idea what we’re in for. Let’s hope she’s a beast🤞. I’ve included a weekly tip forum for those new to the game that have an interest in trying out water based hydroponics. It’s vetted, reliable info that will hopefully help you avoid weeks of lost time and failed attempts. Comments, questions and discussion are always welcome👍.

I'm expecting at least another week on the hubba bubba as it's getting nice and thick, and I haven't noticed any new pistols form in a few days. The ABxRKO is still trucking, and it makes me excited for the next drop that tree1four did. It smells heavy on the burger side, but not super meaty. It has a slightly sweet gassy meaty smell to it.

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something. 8/19 In the 40's last night. Hopefully that will help with the thrips. I was hurried and since today tops at 72° I only watered the 10th planet big mk ultra and the chem dog with preventative plant doctor. I'm not seeing hardly any septoria and if I do itsca random leaf. I mixed up 3tsp of citric acid and some Dawn in a 2 quart hand sprayer and treated the 10th planet that I thought had heat stress and the Pink kush in the ten gal that has the damage. I also treated a branch on my good tenth planet. It was the only branch with markings so I think I've got it early enough. I'm just wondering the best way to tackle this. The pink kush I'm sure, could handle spinosad. That strain is much later flowering. I'll see how the citriccacid works and go from there. If the other girls need water they'll get it when I get home alongcwith plant doctor. I've got some work to do. I'll keep this updated. Opinions are always welcome.

Woooowww 70 dias y aun no han empezado a florecer aunque le queda poquisimo , estan cogiendo forma de abeto ya estan grandisimas con solo 70 dias se han hecho mas grandes de lo que he podido imaginar vamos a ver como termina el ciclo 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼juzguen ustedes mismos

This plant is a beast I finally got the nutrients down and got rid of the light color growth it was having the plant would have been great to have a clone it is definitely something worth growing again

Only water filled up again. 💦 Due to the rather humid living soul substrates, a few fungus gnats
