SECond week ok! 👽

Possibly transplanted into oxy pot a little early. But seems to be settling in now. Just need some more root development. Root Update 27/8 - both oxy pot and 5 plants still in grow cubes, have all had a good increase in root development over night - 27 August Root Update 28/8 - all grow cubes and one in oxy pot developing well. Set up: 1 CFL 300w Dual Spectrum light with reflectors 1 kaizen carbon filter and air out. 1 eco fan air in 1 oxy pot 1 9 inch oscillating fan

2/8 Preflowers appeared on the GG and BC. The only one not on the Preflowers train is the GSC but she is 10 days behind the others. Branches on all plants are solid and sturdy, humidity has been an issue and I am working on it. 2/9 raised lights another inch and GSC now has Preflowers 2/10 TB and BC must of took their roids last night cause each grew 3.5 to 4" over night. More Preflowers and budding sites appearing on all plantd. Stretch is coming the stretch is coming. Raise lights 4" and lifted up GG 2 inches. All plants avg 40k on lux meter. Rotating plants everyday now. 2/13 everybody is exploding upwards. I was focusing a lot of time on my other grow and I am pretty sure I missed my LST window with these ladies. My 4x4 tent is filling up rapidly. Had to raise my lights up another 3 inches with distance ranging from 12 to 18" from all tops. Just going to take group shots until pistols start appearing. Probably going to switch over to HPS over the weekend

😶‍🌫️🤠😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️🤠🤠🤠😶‍🌫️🤠😶‍🌫️

I'm in southern Ontario. Spring is in the air! Humidity levels have risen with rainfall, and temperatures are rising outside and inside my tent. I have been leaving my tent door open during the day and semi-closed at night. Plants in tent do not yet smell and I have my air intake/carbon filter, by VIVOSUN, turned off. During the day my small clip-on fan circulates. At night I let her rest in the cooler air and turn the fan off. May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.

Sorry playing catch up again but everything's rolling along smoothly so far. Slowly adjusting pk forward and watching for negative side effects and deficiencies. The girls are starting to smell delicious .. ecsuse me miss ur terps are showin' XD Microbes are real my friends lol

Not really much to say this week all 10 are growing fine with no problems at all I Will keep removing the larger fan leaves as I go along, I do this in order to try and get as much light to the bottom branches as I can before I switch them to 12/12. This will hopefully keep the canopy as even as it can be without having to do to much training or topping. Day 34 - Looking abit skinny and after the defoliation, but had to remove the middle growth and large fan leaves to get light to them bottom branches and new growth tips. I’m aiming to keep them small and bushy

Fed once this week with a weak feed including top max. I use kombucha vinegar as pH down. Water from my tap is ph6.8-7.0 and 38-42ppm so I might start using calmag supliment as the ppm at my old house used to come out of the tap at ph7. 2 and 200-220ppm. I had 2 plants that didn't like the light at 30000 lux and started bleaching so I took them out. I've defoliated today day 35 as humidity was getting over 80% and also to let light to the lower bud sights. Pre flower pistils showed on some plants around day 33 (some still have none) so I'll consider this the end of veg start of flower. The kalimist indica pheno is still not showing pre flower pistils but is always hard to force flowering when it's not mature for some reason. It's always 7-14 days behind everything else 🤔

Day 56-63 (Day 57) I might have to fix the light to the roof of the tent so I can get another 3 inches up. The ppfd is just too intense at this height. The node stacking is super tight, I’m seeing some droop on almost every plant and the plants just look stunted. I might have to take out the big shelf I just paid 90$ for and raise the light to get the ppfd level down. This happened my last grow as well. It’s a great light for flowering but sucks ass for veg unless it’s hung 5’ above the canopy. I’ve seen videos of others with the same light and they have to fix it to the roof. The dimming function only works with a master controller I don’t have the money for right now. Pulling bbb #2. I’m seeing very small but clear pollen sacks. It’s also drooping like crazy. The roots don’t look as healthy as some of the other males I pulled earlier. They have a slight brown tinge but still mostly white. I wonder if I accidentally gave top dressed it too many times when I mixed them all up a while ago. I’m going to transplant bbb’s #1, #3, #6 & #7 into my 10 gallon destiny/coco pots lightly water. This is kind of a gamble because 2 of them are not showing definitively. Although I’m about 75% sure they’re fems. If not, I got my two backups. (Day 58) I was reading about symptoms of high PH and I definitely have it indicated by the twisted and stunted growth on top. I’m going to try to water in a full gallon at 5.8 and see if I get a good response. I sprayed the pump nozzle directly into the soil after it was empty to put some oxygen into that big 10g pot. The blackberry I gave the lowered PH water too noticeably responded within a few hours. The clawing has pretty much stopped and it now looks like the healthiest plant in the tent. I’m going to see how it responds over the next few days then try it with my other plants if everything looks good. I’m going to try it with bbb #5 in the 1.7g pot and see if it responds in the same way. I ran a gallon of 5.8 water through 1.7g and got less than a 100ml of runoff which is a little surprising. The runoff measured 1750ppms which seems a little on the high side but isn’t insane for peat based soil. (Day 59) Wow. The plants responded to that little PH adjustment insanely well. #5 isn’t dropping at all and the leaf wrinkles are actually flattening out. It’s starting to look like one of the healthiest plants in the tent. I’m still hoping for #5 to show female. 5 plants would cut my veg time down and give me another opportunity for a keeper pheno. All 4 plants are looking like they’ve already recovered from their transplant. #1 in particular was drooping like crazy yesterday and today it’s bounced back and looking happier than ever. I’m seeing a bit of tip droop on a few plants but they still seem fine I wonder if because my soil is 50% coco I should try watering on the acidic side, around 6.0-6.2 from now on. I’m almost certain that solved all the issues I was having. (Day 62) Plants are all looking really healthy. They all seem to have outgrown the initial light stress actually but node stacking is still really tight and I hope to raise the light up next week sometime. I’m going to drop the humidity to 60% for the rest of veg. These pots are massive and I’m still a little worried about dry downs but they aren’t showing any signs of overwatering or lack of oxygen. BBB#3 is starting to show some weird discoloring like an mag or nitrogen deficiency. Which is weird because it’s freshly transplanted into nitrogen rich soil. Guess I will give it a kelp foliar spray. I’ve been looking for a good organic source of K without an absurd amount of magnesium and sulfur like langbeinite has. I found some 0-0-15 kelp/seaweed extract in soluble crystal form. So from time to time I will water that in at half strength or with compost teas to keep my soil K dominant. (Day 63) I’m still waiting on #6 to show sex. I am shocked it hasn’t shown sex yet. Although it was started a week and a half after the others but still. I’m going to be so pissed if it ends up being a male. I’m taking a gamble but I’m confident it will show female when the time comes. bbb#3 got a little more color back from that foliar spray. Hope that doesn’t get worse because it’s my favorite pheno so far. I will give a N boost in the form of compost tea tomorrow afternoon to both of my tents. I’m starting to utilize the scrog net and boy does it make training way easier. This seems to be a much smarter style of growing for yield and quality. I’m getting tired of these pH fluctuations every time I water. I’ve been eyeballing for the most part and I need a consistent formula. I found the perfect mix to stabilize my RO water and stabilize the pH at 6.2. I moistened the top soil of each plant and will watch for any reactions. Water recipe: 60ml bottled water 2000ml RO water 3ml calmag 2ml microbes

Week 12 day 78 i started the day and found my fan was fell down in my plants, i had some serious damage and i had to repair a few branches with some serious bud. Not all the buds make it and i had to harvest a few because of the damage. Not so nice because she was not ready. Also she is not so pretty anymore. But i'm happy there was no damage to the 2 huge buds their doing ok, and beginning to look better every day. So i started a final PK boost and hope i can finish and flushing after that. Day 82 i stopped the feeding and start to flush tommorow

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 8 | Same Genetics, Different Expression Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you've been following this phenotype hunt, you've probably already noticed something fascinating about Cash Express. There are two sisters in this room. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation system. Same nutrient solution. And yet... They are becoming two very different plants. That is exactly why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. Genetics don't produce copies. They produce possibilities. Cash Express Pheno B continues moving beautifully through flowering, and this week she's showing even more clearly what makes her different from her sister. She's a little taller. Her branching is different. And most importantly, her flowers are developing with a completely different structure. And I absolutely love it. 🌿 Same Genetics... Different Personality When you place Pheno A and Pheno B beside each other, the differences become much easier to appreciate. Pheno A has developed into a smaller, more compact and almost perfectly symmetrical plant. Pheno B chose a different path. She's taller, more elongated and more open through the canopy. Her flowering sites have developed along the branches in a different pattern, giving the plant a completely different visual character. Neither one is better. Neither one is worse. They're simply different expressions of the same genetic family. And this is exactly what a phenotype hunt is supposed to reveal. You can grow two plants from the same genetics, give them the same treatment from beginning to end, and still end up with two ladies that look, smell and develop differently. That's the beauty of genetics. 🌸 The White Hairs Are Taking Over Flower development has really started becoming the main event this week. The white pistils are everywhere. Every flowering site seems to be reaching outward, creating those beautiful little explosions of white hairs that make the plant look almost alive in motion. The flowers are also becoming much easier to define. We're moving beyond the stage where they simply looked like little flowering points. Now they're beginning to look like actual developing flowers. And this is where patience becomes important. There's still a lot of development ahead. The pistils are abundant, but the flowers themselves still have plenty of time to build density and volume. So while she is already looking impressive... We're nowhere near the final product yet. Two Phenotypes, Two Flower Structures This is probably one of my favourite observations this week. When I look at Pheno A and Pheno B, the difference isn't just plant height. Their flowers themselves are developing differently. Pheno B is creating a more elongated, layered structure along the branches, while Pheno A has been showing a more compact and chunky architecture. It's subtle now. But as flowering progresses, these differences should become even more pronounced. And this is one of those moments where I don't want to interfere too much. I don't want to force one phenotype to behave like the other. I want to see what Pheno B wants to become. That's the whole point. Let the genetics speak. ? Healthy, Happy and Hungry One thing is very clear when looking at this girl: She's hungry. We've increased the nutrient concentration slightly again this week. Yes, we're now running above what the basic feeding chart would normally suggest. But plants don't read feeding charts. They respond to their environment, their root systems, their metabolism and their genetic demands. And these girls have been demanding more. So we're providing more — while watching them closely. This isn't about blindly pushing nutrients higher. It's about observing the plant and responding to what she's actually showing us. And Pheno B is giving us some very good feedback. The foliage remains healthy. The flowers continue developing strongly. The plant is actively producing. And there are no obvious signs that she's unhappy with the increased concentration. So for now, we're listening. 🍃 The Leaves Tell the Story One of the things I really appreciate about this phenotype is how healthy her foliage continues to look. The leaves are deep green, well formed and beautifully structured. There's a lot of life in this plant. When you combine that healthy canopy with the amount of flowering activity we're seeing, it's difficult not to call this girl a little lush. She's simply thriving. And that's an important distinction. We're seeing plenty of flowering activity without the plant looking exhausted or unhappy. She's still carrying herself with confidence. Still producing new pistils. Still building. Still hungry. That's exactly where I want her at this stage. About Those Purple Stems... Now let's talk about something that's visible. Because if it's there, I think it's worth documenting. There is some purplish coloration appearing through portions of the stems and petioles. It's definitely present. But at this point, I'm not seeing a reason to panic about it. Why? Because the plant doesn't look distressed. The leaves look healthy. The flowering sites are developing. The pistils are coming in strongly. There's no obvious widespread deterioration accompanying the coloration. And most importantly, the plant is behaving like a happy plant. Stem and petiole coloration can have several causes, including genetics and environmental influences, so I'm not going to automatically label it as a deficiency simply because I can see purple. For now, it's something we're observing. It's part of her phenotype. If the coloration progresses together with other symptoms, then it becomes a different conversation. But right now? It's there. We're documenting it. We're watching it. And we're not going to invent a problem that the plant isn't showing us. That's an important part of reading plants. 👃 The Terpene Story Is Beginning The smell is also starting to become more interesting. At this stage, we're still relatively early in the development of the full aromatic profile. So I'm not going to pretend that we're already smelling the finished Cash Express. We're not. Right now, the overall aroma remains fairly typical for this stage of flowering, and there are still similarities across the room. But... If you spend enough time around twelve different plants every day, you start noticing little differences. And that's what I'm beginning to notice now. The plants are slowly separating themselves aromatically. Pheno A and Pheno B currently seem to share a similar general terpene direction. They're not identical, but there is a recognizable family resemblance. And I'm very curious to see whether that similarity remains as the flowers mature. Because sometimes the differences become much more obvious later in flowering. For now, I'm simply enjoying the first hints. 💡 Above and Below The combination of the overhead Future of Grow Black Series LED and the LumiFlora under-canopy lighting continues giving this girl plenty of light throughout her structure. Her naturally more open architecture works beautifully with this setup. The flowers aren't packed into one giant wall of foliage. There's space between the branches. There's airflow. There's light penetration. And the lower flowering sites aren't completely forgotten. It's another interesting contrast with Pheno A, whose more compact structure creates a very different light distribution. Same room. Same lights. Different architecture. And once again, the plant itself changes the equation. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a remarkably consistent environment for all twelve phenotypes. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Water consumption: approximately 1.3 L/24h Once again, consistency remains one of the biggest advantages of this experiment. With twelve different cultivars sharing the same environment, the plants themselves become the variables we're watching. And Cash Express Pheno B is definitely writing her own chapter. 🌱 Feeding This week we made another small increase to the nutrient concentration. The current reservoir is running: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus as required. The important part here isn't simply the numbers. It's the response. These girls are demanding. They're actively flowering, they're consuming, and they're telling us that they're capable of using more. So we're providing it. But we're also watching. No blind chasing of numbers. No feeding harder simply because we can. Observe → respond → observe again. That's the philosophy. 📸 Behind the Lens This phenotype is becoming a photographer's dream. The photographs this week really show the differences between the sisters. Her flowers have their own architecture. Her leaves frame the flowers differently. Her taller structure creates different perspectives throughout the plant. And those white pistils... They're absolutely everywhere. Some of the close-ups almost look like little fireworks exploding from the tops of the flowers. The resin coverage is also becoming increasingly visible on the sugar leaves, giving us those beautiful sparkling edges that become so addictive to photograph. And I have to say... This girl is beautiful. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the fastest. Not because she's trying to dominate the room. She's beautiful because she's becoming exactly what she is supposed to become. 🔍 Quick Recap So where are we now? 🚂 Cash Express Pheno B is thriving. 🌿 She's taller and more open than her sister. 🌸 Flower formation is clearly different from Pheno A. ? White pistils are multiplying rapidly across the canopy. 🍃 Foliage remains healthy and vigorous. The phenotype is becoming increasingly recognizable. 👃 The terpene profile is beginning to show itself, although it's still early. 💜 Some purple coloration is visible in stems and petioles, but currently without accompanying signs of significant plant stress. 🌱 She's hungry, so we've increased nutrition slightly again. And most importantly... She's happy. 🔮 What I Expect Next Week Next week, I expect the flowers to become more substantial. The pistils will probably continue appearing in large numbers, while the actual flower mass slowly catches up with all that beautiful white hair. I expect the structure of Pheno B to become even easier to distinguish from Pheno A. The terpene profile may also start becoming more interesting as the flowers mature. And I'm especially curious about the purple coloration. Not because I'm worried about it... But because I want to see whether it remains part of her natural expression or becomes more pronounced as flowering progresses. What I DON'T expect: I don't expect these flowers to suddenly look finished. I don't expect the final terpene profile to be completely obvious yet. And I certainly don't expect Pheno B to suddenly start looking like her sister. She's already told us that's not who she is. And I wouldn't want it any other way. 🌱 The Beauty of a Phenotype Hunt This is probably the biggest lesson this week. When you're growing twelve different cultivars together, it's very easy to look at differences and immediately ask: "Which one is better?" But that's not really the right question. The better question is: "What makes this one different?" Pheno A has her own personality. Pheno B has hers. And both are fascinating. The goal isn't to make them identical. The goal is to discover what each one carries within its genetics. That's what makes this 8×8 Adventure so much fun. We're not just growing plants. We're watching twelve different genetic stories unfold under the same conditions. And Cash Express Pheno B is writing a particularly beautiful chapter right now. 💚 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for creating a place where growers from around the world can document, compare, learn and share these journeys together. Thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore how differently these phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting this entire journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the powerful overhead lighting driving the plants throughout the cycle. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light to those lower flowering sites. And thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system that continues allowing the plants to manage their own water demand. And finally... Thank you to every single person following along. Every comment. Every message. Every question. Every person who simply stops for a moment to look at these plants. It means a lot. This project is about more than chasing numbers or comparing yields. It's about watching nature express itself. And this week, Cash Express Pheno B is reminding us once again that same genetics doesn't mean same plant. She's taller than her sister. She's built differently. She's flowering differently. She's beginning to reveal her own aromatic personality. And she's absolutely beautiful doing it. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno B continues writing her own story in the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🚂🌱 PS- we did defoliate a few leafs here and there

Repotted into 3 gallon this week.

This girl is so close to being ready. 2 more weeks.
