Thanks for having a look at my first photo period grow. Just starting week 4 of flower. Buds starting to slowly swell, lots of pistils and the leaves are starting to frost. All lower leaves and branches are removed. Watering a gallon of bubbled water every second day with my General Organics feed schedule

Hhh

11.týden 71 - den kontrola v pořádku 72 - den. Pohnojím všechny holky, kromě blackberry a brooklynu ty už jen vodou s ph - (5,8) 73 - den listy na autech začínají žloutnout. Jdeme do finále 74 den - kontrola trichomu kapesním mikroskopem. Trichomy se zdají být pořád nedostatečně jantarové 75 den - celoročky jsem dnes hnojil 😁 Blackberry gum, auto brooklyn a sleep proplachuji...

She’s a thick one! Looking pretty good. I top dressed her with a 4 teaspoons of epson salt. She’s showing signs of magnesium deficiency. I’m still nervous she was pollinated by the Blackberry moonrocks that I had to cut down early. So I’m checking her several times daily.

The Number's; Started with; 564g Wet on the Scale Finished with; 263g Dried Flower. Plus some Pollen for a Personal project.. IMO; Definitely decent yields for a pheno hunt. Two tents filled with Pheno 3... would be OFF the Chart yields :) That is coming soon ! Big Thanks to EVERYONE who stopped in to support this diary.. your the real MVP's Until Next Time, Cariboo.

Het is mijn eerste kweek, voor mijn eerste keer vind ik dat alles vrij goed is verlopen. De white widow van dp heeft zeer goed gepresteerd en heeft mij een mooie oogst bezorgd. Na het drogen geef ik een recensie over de smaak en geur.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 9 | Welcome to My Little Jungle 🌿🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And honestly... I think I'm starting to feel like Tarzan. Walking through the room. Moving between the plants. Looking underneath the canopy. Checking the flowers. Stopping every few minutes because another plant catches my eye. 😂🌿 This grow has become its own little jungle, and I'm having an absolute blast watching it develop. Because the more these plants mature, the more obvious one thing becomes: they may share the same room, but they certainly don't share the same personality. And Cash Express Pheno A is a perfect example. She's growing in essentially the same environment as the Blueberry Muffins. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same feeding approach. And yet... look at her. She's doing her own thing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌱 Week 9 – She's Standing Tall in Her Own Way Cash Express Pheno A has never been one of the giants of the room. And that's okay. Her story was never supposed to be about becoming the tallest plant. Her story is about what she can create with the structure she has. And right now, that structure is becoming incredibly impressive. She's compact. She's well defined. She's developing strong flowering branches. And more importantly, the flowers themselves are starting to become the real stars of the show. When I look at her now, I don't see a small plant. I see a plant that's becoming very efficient with the space she's been given. And that's something I really appreciate. 🌸 The Flowers Are Starting to Speak This week, the flower structure is what immediately catches my attention. The buds are becoming much more pronounced, and those pistils... Wow. They're beautiful. We're seeing these thick, bright white pistils with that subtle yellowish/golden tone, and they stand out beautifully against the surrounding foliage. It's one of those little characteristics that makes this phenotype instantly recognizable when you compare her with the rest of the room. Different plant. Different flower expression. Different personality. And this is exactly why I love taking the time to photograph these girls individually. The macro photographs reveal things that you simply don't appreciate from across the room. You can see the individual pistils. The developing flower structure. The little sugar leaves beginning to surround the buds. The early signs of resin development. And slowly, what started as a collection of tiny flowering sites is becoming something that actually looks like a proper flower. She's getting there. And she's looking fantastic doing it. 🚂 Small Frame – Serious Flower Potential This girl continues proving something that we've already learned several times during this adventure: Plant height isn't the same thing as plant potential. She's not towering over everybody. She doesn't need to. She's using her available space differently. The branches are carrying developing flowers, and the structure is becoming increasingly easy to read. There's a certain confidence to her now. Almost like she's saying: "I don't need to be the biggest plant here." "Just watch what I do." 😄 And honestly? I'm watching. Very closely. 🌿 Same Room – Completely Different Expression This is probably one of the most fascinating parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Take Cash Express. Now look at the Blueberry Muffins. Same general environment. Same flowering schedule. Similar nutritional strategy. Yet look at the differences. Different leaf structure. Different branching. Different flower formation. Different density. Different pistil appearance. Different overall architecture. This is where the experiment becomes really valuable. Because if I were growing only one plant, I might look at Cash Express and simply say: "She's compact." But because she's growing beside eleven other cultivars, we can actually see the difference. The environment is providing the baseline. The genetics are providing the personality. And Cash Express has quite a personality. 💨 Structure, Airflow & Flowering Space As the flowers continue developing, I'm increasingly interested in maintaining good movement through the plant. At this stage, the goal isn't simply to produce as much foliage as possible. We want the plant to have enough healthy leaves to support flowering while maintaining sensible spacing throughout the canopy. Good airflow becomes increasingly important as flowers become larger and denser. We're trying to avoid unnecessary stagnant areas inside the canopy and keep the overall environment comfortable for the plant. That's one of the reasons the cleaning and canopy management we've been doing throughout the room matters. It's not about stripping plants because a certain week number says we should. It's about looking at what each plant is doing and responding accordingly. And Cash Express is telling us that her structure is working very nicely. So we're not trying to reinvent her. We're simply helping her continue doing what she's already doing well. 💡 Let the Photons Do Their Job She's also a great example of why I like thinking about the canopy as a three-dimensional space. It's not just about what happens directly underneath the main light. There are flowers positioned at different heights and angles throughout the plant. The room's additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps bring useful light into areas that would otherwise receive less. That gives these compact plants another advantage. Instead of trying to solve everything through aggressive defoliation, we can combine: 💡 Good lighting 🌿 Sensible canopy structure 💨 Air movement 🌡️ Environmental stability ✂️ Selective cleaning It's all about creating a balanced system. And Cash Express is certainly taking advantage of it. ⚗️ Nutrition – Still Holding Steady The nutrition programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required The current solution remains around pH 6.0 and approximately 2.0 mS/cm EC. And honestly, there's no reason to start changing things simply because we're excited about what we're seeing. She's developing. She's flowering. She's maintaining herself beautifully. So we're keeping the strategy steady and allowing the plant to put that nutrition toward what matters now: flowers. The plants don't need us constantly changing the recipe. Sometimes consistency is the most important input we can provide. 🌡️ Environment – Stable Enough to Let Her Work The room continues to provide a stable environment shared with the other flowering plants. We're currently around: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💦 Watering – approximately 1.2–1.3 L/plant/24h We're also maintaining the additional lighting strategy throughout the room, including the inner and under-canopy lighting. The important thing for me isn't finding one magical number. It's keeping the whole system working together. Light. Temperature. Humidity. CO₂. Nutrition. Root-zone conditions. Water availability. They're all pieces of the same puzzle. And right now, Cash Express appears very comfortable with the picture we've created. 🔬 The Personality of Cash Express Pheno A If I had to describe her in just a few words now? Compact. Structured. Beautiful. She's not trying to dominate the room. She's not trying to become the tallest. She's simply standing there and showing us what she can do. And that's actually one of the things I find most rewarding about this plant. She has her own identity. The flower structure is becoming distinctive. The pistils have their own look. The plant architecture is easy to recognize. And every week, that identity becomes stronger. That's the beauty of watching a phenotype from seed all the way through flowering. At the beginning, you're basically meeting a stranger. Then slowly... you start learning her personality. 📸 Behind the Lens And this week? The camera had a very good time. 😂📸 The close-up photographs really highlight the developing flowers. Those thick white pistils almost look like little fireworks coming out of the buds. The subtle warmer/yellowish tones give the flowers a beautiful contrast compared with some of the other plants in the room. And then the wider photographs bring everything back into perspective. You can see the structure. The branches. The distribution of flowers. The compact architecture. The way she's building her own little world inside the room. This is exactly why I love documenting the grow this way. The camera slows me down. It makes me stop. Look. Observe. And sometimes discover something I completely missed five minutes earlier. 🌿 Tarzan in the 8×8 Jungle 😂 And I have to admit something... I'm having way too much fun with this run. 😂🌿 Walking around the tent between twelve different plants, checking flowers, moving leaves, looking underneath the canopy, photographing different angles... Sometimes I genuinely feel like I'm walking through a tiny jungle. Tarzan with a camera. 😂📸🌴 But that's also what makes this adventure so enjoyable. I'm not just trying to get to harvest. I'm enjoying the process. I'm learning. I'm adapting. I'm watching what works. I'm watching what doesn't. And every plant teaches me something different. That's probably the biggest lesson of this entire run so far. You can have a plan. But the plants will always have something to add to it. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now we're getting into a very exciting part of the flowering cycle. The flowers are established. The structure is clear. And the next phase is about watching those flowers develop more mass and density. Over the coming week, I'll be watching for: 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further development of those beautiful pistils 💎 Increasing resin production 🌿 Healthy foliage supporting the flowers 💨 Good airflow throughout the structure 📈 Increasing bud density and definition And, as always, I'm not going to force the plant into a predetermined schedule. If she needs something, we'll respond. If she's happy... we let her work. That's the beauty of this adventure. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let's Make Her Shine Cash Express Pheno A may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8. She may not be the biggest. She may not have the largest footprint. But she's becoming one of those plants that you can't help but stop and look at. Because the more you look... the more you see. The structure. The flowers. Those beautiful thick white pistils. The subtle warmer tones. The developing resin. The way she's filling her space. She's not asking for attention. She's earning it. And that's exactly what I want to do with this week's update. Give her the spotlight. Let her shine. Let her show everybody what this particular Cash Express phenotype can do. Because she's doing something beautiful. And we're still only watching the beginning of the final chapter. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project has become such an incredible learning experience for me. Twelve different cultivars. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories unfolding in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this journey and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering this jungle. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. And finally... thank you to everyone watching. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by just to see how the girls are doing. You're part of this adventure too. I'm learning every week. I'm adapting every week. And I'm having an absolute blast doing it. So here's to another week in the jungle. 🌿😂 And here's to this beautiful little Cash Express Pheno A. She may be compact... but she's got serious flower power. 🚂🌸🔥 Let's make her shine. Let's let her do her thing. And let's see what this little powerhouse brings us next. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🚂🔥

Flowering day 52 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) All ladies look very healthy and delicious :-) We're slowly getting closer to the end. This week it was poured 3 times with 1.2 l each (sewing materials see table above) At the next watering there is a very light rinse with Clean Fruits so that the last nutrients can be slowly used up. The trichomes are now checked every day. I'm looking for my microscope with an app so I can take pictures of it 👍.

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Back again!!! After 2 rounds of Spider Mites in my old grow area, I moved my grow area to a completely opposite area of my house - from the attic to the basement. I'm near the end of the first crop of autos that have grown in the basement and I've had NO bug issues at all! 😁 This diary is primarily to see what happens when growing Fast Buds Cream Cookies outdoors and to enter in their 2020 outdoor grow contest. I started 4 Cream Cookies seeds indoors a week ago and they all popped. I started the seeds directly in soil. Personally, I find starting directly in soil works best for me. I'm going to take 2 of the seedlings outdoors in about a week and keep 2 indoors. Indoors they will be growing under a 315w CMH (LEC) in my 2' x 4' tent. Outdoors they will get full sun in our garden. They will be growing in ProMix and I will be feeding Fox Farm nutes as well as Recharge. I'll be feeding at 1/2 strength from the recommended feeding schedule. I'm excited to have a new diary up on GD again. And excited to see how the outdoor crop compares to the indoor. My prediction is that the outdoor crop will grow larger and faster. I've been seeing insane growth spurts outdoors in the past week. I almost took the seedlings outdoors over the weekend, but I'm glad I didn't - it got down to 34 degrees last night. That probably would have killed the seedlings. Stay tuned... p.s. The big girls in the tent are almost ready to harvest and include Seedsman Sour Diesel Haze Auto (nice fat, dense cola), Fast Buds Gelato, Dinafem Critical+ Auto and Female Seeds Auto Bubble. I also have Basil, Oregano, Mint and Chives growing in the tent acting as bug deterrents.

So she is growing fine I turn off my humidifier notice it was giving plant issues did raise the light another 12 in and I also topped her I almost forgot I transferred her to a 3 gallon bucket

Die vierte Woche stand ganz im Zeichen des gezielten Pflanzentrainings. Zu Wochenbeginn wurde der kräftige Haupttrieb gecuttet (Topping), um die apikale Dominanz zu brechen. Die exklusive Bob Marley Genetik hat diesen High-Stress-Eingriff ohne nennenswerte Verzögerungen weggesteckt. Bereits zur Wochenmitte war eine deutliche Erholung sichtbar, woraufhin direkt die ersten Low-Stress-Training-Maßnahmen (LST) folgten, um die neu entstehenden Haupttriebe flach zu halten und die Lichtverteilung zu optimieren. Zum Wochenende hin präsentiert sich die stämmige Dame extrem vital, stark verzweigt und mit einer perfekt geöffneten Struktur. Die Energie verteilt sich nun absolut gleichmäßig auf die neuen Triebe – ein voller Erfolg im Training.

I dry trimmed everything I harvested. What I mean is I cut all fan leaves while the plant was still in the ground. I trimmed what I could and hung the whole plant for a few days then separated branches. The ice cream cake and the large seedling are both still hanging intact. Ice cream cake was easy as it grew more like a sativa them the indicas I usually grow. Plant reached a height of 9 to 10 feet. Yield was some what diminished due to septoria. This strain seemed particularly sensitive to plant diseases.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the Week 2 Veg Report on our marvelous Epsilon F1, and let me tell you, the growth has been nothing short of spectacular. Our little green companion has truly spread its wings and embraced the journey of life. Now, let's talk about the VIP treatment our Epsilon F1 received this week. I decided it was time for a change of scenery, so I gently transplanted her into a spacious 11 L fabric pot graciously provided by Royal Queen Seeds. Now, let's dive into the wonders of fabric pots. Fabric pots are like a luxury spa for plant roots, allowing for optimal aeration and preventing over watering. The fabric's breathability promotes air pruning, stopping those pesky circling roots and encouraging a robust, healthy root system. It's like a tailored suit for our Epsilon F1, allowing it to grow with style and comfort. But that's not all, my friends. During the transplant, I whipped up a magical Aptus Holland super soil mix, and oh boy, it's a nutrient symphony. Let's break it down: Micromix Soil: This powerhouse contains a mix of microorganisms and stimulants, creating a microbial wonderland in the soil. It's like inviting the best party guests to the root zone, promoting nutrient uptake and overall plant health. Substrate Buffer Powder: The pH magician in our mix. It conditions all substrates, ensuring a stable pH environment for our Epsilon F1. No more pH rollercoasters, just smooth sailing for our green friend. All-in-One Pellet: The time-released 100% organic pellet fertilizer that's like a Michelin-star meal for our plant. It comes with a compounded NPK fertilizer, essential microelements, and even L-amino acids. It's the complete package for a happy, well-fed plant. And, of course, we can't forget the star of the show, Mycor Mix! A mixture of various species of endomycorrhizae, working tirelessly to support our crop. Fixed on a vegetal carrier, it feeds and protects the fungi, creating a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic for plant growth. Our Epsilon F1 is reacting like a rockstar to this nutrient fiesta, and I couldn't be prouder. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for the stellar genetics and the thoughtful pot, and major kudos to Aptus Holland for being the wizard behind the curtain, crafting nutrients that turn plants into botanical marvels. Stay tuned, dear readers, as we watch our Epsilon F1 continue its journey of botanical excellence. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Flush time

Last week went well. She is coming along nicely. Starting to show hairs and is stretching now. I have been doing a lot of lst training and supercropping to make it as even as possible. Removed some fan leaves blocking bud sites. Doing that has made for a beautiful wide plant with a very even canopy. It should allow for even light/ energy uptake by the plant which should create a bunch of better, fuller buds. It altogether should increase the yield a decent amount. Pruning the bottom growth in the next week or so to concentrate energy towards the tops. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Auto Anubis coming along great! She very tropical citrus smelling, vibrant green and swelling!

Week 10 and I believe it is time to stop nutrients and flush with fresh PHd water at 6.1.

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman
