Day 63 — All progressing well. The Sensi bloom fertilizer has fixed all issues and the buds are really coming on now. I still have no explanation why one LB is tall and lanky and the other is stocky and thick. Only difference was I topped them a week apart. I switched to 12/12 schedule today. Read somewhere that resin production increases on that schedule. I am also just running bloom lighting for the past week. Seems to benefit them so will continue. I figure another 2-3 weeks and it will be time to harvest. Cheers!

Semanas finales 🚀

After some burned Tips, and leaves watered, only water one time.

The girls are coming along 😜

Okay growmies here we are at the end of our PURPLE LEMONADE by FAST BUDS. It was such a pleasure to grow, i learned so so so much this run that will help me through the rest of my adventures. The beginning was tough as i am new i over watered and did not ph the water and what i mistake. But its okay i learned. She bounced back like nothing and produced these HUGE, THICK, DENSE BUDS!i remember the panic i had week 2-3 and wanted to scrap all of this and start over.... thank the weed gods i didnt because look at this masterpiece. I always said in the passed weeks comments i hope my ugly duckling becomes a beautiful queen. And here she is. She was SOOO HUNGRY AND THIRSTY! Over 5L a day guys..... and not a SINGLE drop would come out of the bottom.... over a all a pleasure and amazing grow. I will for sure grow again and again. I would love to Try this out door or in a 10L pot can probably get this beast to be the size of a 5x5 easily! She responded so well to LST and topping... slowed it down but it was so worth it guys lmao.... like honestly OVER HALF A POUND!!!!!! GROWMIES! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! Thank you for all the continued support and likes and comments and help. Id be no where with this with out all of you. And thank you to the FAST BUDS team and to you heather! Grow diaries thank you for the plat form. I love you guys. All of you. All my sponsors. Thank you. Until Next time growmies! Stay positive, stay safe, stay high.

Non ci sono parole, la ciliegia og è sempre piu marcata ed io sono veramnete felice per questo cilo, e alta 1.70 e di tutte cime impilate della stessa grandezza da giu a sù

2/5 Week 6 May be last week of veg kind of depends on factors outside the grow. Lets hope Keeping the Si included and leaving nuets as is. Continuing to defoliate as needed to keep things civil in the small tent, Moya is crowded. Canopy is at 30" plants about 20" 2/6 Better plan! Found a table at Goodwill that will fit in the flower tent and allow two plants to be moved there tomorrow. So tomorrow is the day, two plants will remain in Moya, prob Jool and Zhaan 2/7 Aeryn is in flower tent flipped to 12-12 Jool and Zhaan in small tent, Moya, also flipped to 12-12 Here we go Feed set as above, keeping levels low at this point 2/8 Second day May reduce feed a bit, white tips One time feed of Kangaroots 10ml/gal Keeping things defoliated so the middle gets lots of light 2/8 Last attempt to try and get rid of those white tips. Further reduced feed but added just a touch of cal-mag to make up for it. If this doesnt work I am just feeding them and ignoring the tips. Flowering is starting to show, more on Aeryn being under the HPS than Jool and Zhaan under the LEDs. Continuing to defoliate as needed to keep bud sites in light. 2/10 Bringing down the nuets to under 500ppm did the trick on the white tips but can not leave things there so back to some sane level and I am just going to ignore it. Stretch is starting for real 😳 2/11 Since the tip burning is an issue with N, I am going to move the girls to all bloom tomorrow with today as a transition. Strain is absolutely sensitive to Nitrogen.

esta semana estuvo muy ocupada y no tuve mucho tiempo para hacer los discos, pero los que hice están ahí.

.

as the second week of June is just on it's end and the weather has had it's ups and downs with a lot of rain and some nice sunny days the plants keep growing day by day. The tallest plant reached a height of 86 centimeters or 33.85 inch so i'm getting close to the 1 meter mark. But hopefully they will grow much bigger as they have plenty of time left. Last year i a grew Blue Dream and a Chocolope in pots which reached a total height of 1,38 meter, which both yielded 30 grams each. What i should mention about the plants from last year is that the seeds weren't bought but came out of a friends weed. So this year it was all out with premium seeds, more knowledge and experience, great soil and hopefully the best weather

A great week with the buds really swelling in size and the smell getting more potent! Gave it a last bit of molasses and continued with the flush. Trichomes are milky with a few clear still. Super excited to harvest soon!!!

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Cash Express – Pheno B A Taller Girl, A Brighter Stage, And Still Completely Herself 🌿🌸💡 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here we are again... Cash Express Pheno B. If you've been following this girl from the beginning, you already know that she has never really tried to be the same plant as her sister. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Same lighting. And yet... Pheno B has always had her own way of doing things. She's taller. She's more extended. She's got her own architecture. And she's carrying that beautiful, deep green foliage and those increasingly defined flowering sites that have been becoming her signature. And this week? We're not changing her. We're not reshaping her. We're not trying to make her something else. We're simply giving her everything she needs... and letting her shine. 🚂🌿🌸💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – Let Her Continue Cash Express Pheno B is currently around 93 cm tall. And that still makes her one of the taller expressions we've been following in this part of the 8×8 Adventure. But height isn't really the important part anymore. The structure is established. The flowering sites are developing. The plant has already done the major work of building herself. Now we're entering the stage where patience becomes increasingly important. There's a temptation during flowering to constantly reach into the canopy. Move something. Remove something. Change something. Adjust something. But sometimes... there simply isn't anything that needs changing. Pheno B is healthy. She's growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. So we're letting her do exactly that. She's already shown us what kind of plant she wants to be. Our job now is to support her rather than fight her. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Taller Than Her Sister – And That's Okay One of the most interesting things about having two Cash Express phenotypes in the same room is seeing how differently they can express themselves. Pheno A has her own structure. Pheno B has hers. And Pheno B has clearly chosen the taller route. She's occupying more vertical space. Her branches extend further through the canopy. Her flowers are distributed across a larger structure. But neither plant needs to become the other. That's one of the reasons I love this project. We're not trying to prove that one phenotype is better than another. We're documenting the differences. Same genetic family. Different expression. And Pheno B is making her own expression increasingly obvious with every week. She's the taller Cash Express. The more extended Cash Express. The one that decided there was nothing wrong with reaching a little higher. 😂🌿 And honestly... I like her exactly that way. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming The Main Story At this point, the height is becoming less interesting to me than what's happening at the flowering sites. And those are looking beautiful. The buds are becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are continuing to develop. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And when you compare the photographs with the earlier weeks... the transformation is obvious. What started as little flowering points is becoming a much more recognizable flowering structure. That's the part I love about documenting the same plant week after week. You don't just see the final result. You see the transition. You see the plant building herself. And Pheno B is certainly building. Slowly. Steadily. And very much in her own style. ──────────────────────── 💡 The 8×8 Just Got A Lot Brighter While we haven't been doing much to the plant herself, something significant has changed above her. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the room. And yes... we definitely noticed the difference. 😂💡 The available light increased substantially. In fact, it initially went a little higher than I wanted. So rather than simply running everything at maximum output, we reduced the power. We're currently running at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. And with that setting, we're seeing approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a very strong light environment. And I'm much happier controlling it at this level rather than simply chasing the highest possible number. We have the lighting capability. We have the headroom. And now we can choose how much of that capability we actually want to use. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD – But The Plant Isn't Flat One important detail when talking about that 1,500 PPFD number: That's across the upper canopy. Cash Express Pheno B is not a perfectly flat surface. She's a three-dimensional plant. Some flowers sit higher. Some branches sit lower. Some leaves face directly toward the fixtures. Others are naturally more shaded. So the amount of light changes throughout the structure. And that's perfectly normal. We're not trying to make every individual flower receive exactly the same intensity. We're trying to create a strong overall light environment while allowing the plant to use those photons effectively. And with Pheno B's taller architecture, this becomes particularly interesting. She's creating several different levels within the canopy. Upper. Middle. Inner. Lower. And every level has a different relationship with the light. ──────────────────────── 💚 A Big Thank You To Future Of Grow I want to give Future of Grow another big shout-out this week. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. And we're not simply installing them and calling it a day. We're actually testing them. We increased the available light. We measured the response. The PPFD went higher than my preferred target. So we reduced the power. Now we're running around 59% and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And there's another benefit I really appreciate. We're not only controlling the light intensity... we're also reducing electricity consumption. There's no reason to run equipment harder than necessary when we can achieve the light level we're looking for at a lower output. So we're testing the fixtures, learning what they can do, finding a practical operating level and allowing the plants to show us the results. That's exactly what I wanted from this addition to the project. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to put these fixtures to work. ──────────────────────── 💡 More Capability Doesn't Mean More Power This is something I think is worth emphasizing. Having a 600W fixture doesn't mean I need to run it at 100%. Having two additional fixtures doesn't mean I need to use every watt they can produce. The important thing is control. We added the lighting capability. We saw what happened. We adjusted. And now we're sitting at a level that I'm very comfortable with. Approximately 59% power. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And less electricity being consumed than if we simply pushed everything to maximum output. For me... that's much more interesting than chasing a number. We want useful photons. Not simply more watts. And Cash Express Pheno B is getting plenty of photons right now. 😂💡🌿 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Another Small Step The nutrition has also moved forward slightly. Again... nothing dramatic. We're making a small increase to Terra Bloom. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L That small increase brought the EC up just slightly. We're now around: ⚡ EC — 2.14 mS/cm And that's exactly where I want the adjustment to be. Small. Measured. Controlled. The plant is already healthy. The flowers are developing. The foliage is looking beautiful. So there's no reason to make a dramatic nutritional change. We're simply giving the flowering programme a little progression and watching how she responds. ──────────────────────── 💧 Irrigation – Consistency Is Still King The irrigation remains consistent as well. We're currently around: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours The nutrient solution is around: 🌡️ 25°C with the substrate also around: 🌡️ 25°C. And this is becoming increasingly important as flowering progresses. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs consistency. Light. Water. Nutrition. Root-zone stability. Environment. And time. The system provides the consistency. Cash Express provides the growth. And I get to stand there taking photographs. 😂📸 Honestly... I'm quite happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Conditions This week's recorded conditions are approximately: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 93 cm The environment remains very consistent across the room. Summer still likes to remind us that plants don't live inside a mathematical spreadsheet. 😂☀️ Temperatures move. Humidity moves. The outside world changes. What matters is keeping those fluctuations controlled and maintaining stability where we can. And most importantly... the plants look happy. That's still the final check. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why We're Doing Less To Her Now This is probably the biggest change in our approach compared with the earlier stages of the grow. We're doing less. Not because we're paying less attention. Quite the opposite. We're watching more closely. But there's a difference between observing a plant and constantly manipulating it. Earlier in the grow, we had reasons to train. Reasons to shape. Reasons to remove foliage. Reasons to manage structure. Now? The structure is there. The flowers are developing. The canopy is established. And Cash Express Pheno B is healthy. So we're allowing her to continue. No unnecessary intervention. No trying to make her shorter. No trying to make her look like Pheno A. No trying to force her into a different architecture. She's already telling us what she wants to be. We're listening. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Beautiful Green Still Tells A Story That deep, lush green remains one of the first things I notice when I look at her. And it's something I don't take for granted. Those leaves are the working machinery behind everything we're seeing. They're capturing the light. They're processing photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're helping provide the energy required for continued development. And now that we're giving the room access to significantly more light, healthy foliage becomes even more important. The plant has more photons available. And she has the biological machinery to make use of them. That's the relationship we're watching. Light comes in. The plant responds. And the flowers continue developing. Simple... but absolutely fascinating. ──────────────────────── 💡 A Three-Dimensional Garden With Pheno B being one of the taller plants, the three-dimensional aspect of the lighting becomes especially interesting. She's not just occupying a flat plane. She's creating layers. Upper branches. Middle branches. Interior growth. Lower flowering sites. And as the plant develops, the way light travels through that structure changes. That's why our lighting strategy isn't simply about what happens directly above the plant. The Future of Grow fixtures provide the primary artificial sun. And Lumiflora continues helping bring additional light into areas that naturally receive less direct illumination. We're trying to make better use of the plant's three-dimensional structure. Not simply: "More light." But: "Better opportunities for useful photons throughout the plant." And Pheno B gives us a particularly interesting example because of her height and architecture. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Keeps Revealing More This is another week where the photographs really tell the story. The wide shots show the architecture. The height. The branches. The overall flowering structure. But the closer photographs reveal something completely different. The pistils. The developing flowers. The texture. The tiny details appearing throughout the buds. And this is why I love keeping individual diaries. From across the room, Cash Express Pheno B is simply one plant among twelve. But when we isolate her... we can appreciate her. We can follow her. We can see her changes. And we can actually document her individual expression. That's the whole point. ──────────────────────── Same Genetics – Different Expression Her sister is still there. Same cultivar. Same room. Same general conditions. But look at them. Different architecture. Different height. Different way of occupying the space. Different expression. And that's exactly why I don't want to force one phenotype to behave like another. If I did that, we'd lose the very thing we're trying to document. The whole point of the 8×8 Adventure is to give these plants a comparable environment and then let their genetics speak. Cash Express Pheno B is speaking clearly. She's taller. She's lush. She's vigorous. She's flowering beautifully. And she's doing it her way. ──────────────────────── 🌸 We're Moving Deeper Into Flower The stage we're entering now is becoming increasingly interesting. The plant has already transitioned. The flowering sites are established. The structure is visible. Now we're watching those flowers continue developing and becoming increasingly substantial. This is where patience becomes extremely important. We can't photograph a dramatic transformation every single day. But week after week... the difference becomes obvious. And that's what these reports capture. One week. One photograph. One observation. One little piece of the story. Eventually, all those little pieces become the complete picture. And Pheno B is giving us a beautiful one. ──────────────────────── 🔬 The 8×8 Adventure – Twelve Plants, One Experiment This week is another reminder of what makes this project so much fun. Twelve different genetics. One room. A shared environment. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition strategy. Shared lighting philosophy. And now an upgraded lighting system capable of delivering significantly more photons. We're not trying to make all twelve plants identical. We're trying to give them comparable opportunities. Then we observe. Some will stretch. Some won't. Some will develop compact flowers. Some will build more elongated structures. Some will mature differently. And that's the information we're collecting. Cash Express Pheno B is simply one of those twelve stories. And she's a particularly beautiful one. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, we're keeping the plan simple. Continue observing. Continue monitoring the flowers. Continue maintaining the environment. Continue providing consistent irrigation. Continue with the flowering nutrition. Continue monitoring the new lighting setup. And let Cash Express Pheno B continue doing what she does. We're not looking for reasons to interfere. We're looking for reasons to understand. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development 🌿 Healthy foliage 💎 Increasing resin production ☀️ Response to the stronger lighting environment 💧 Consistent water demand 🌡️ Environmental stability 🌬️ Good airflow throughout the canopy 📈 Increasing flower definition and density And most importantly... we'll let the plant set the pace. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Final Thoughts – Let This Girl Shine There are some weeks where the grower does a lot. And there are other weeks where the most important thing the grower can do is step back. This is one of those weeks. We added two Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We tested the increased lighting capability. The PPFD climbed higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output. We're now running around 59% power from the plug and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We made a small increase to Terra Bloom. The EC moved slightly higher to around 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because Cash Express Pheno B doesn't need us constantly reaching into her canopy. She needs consistency. She needs photons. She needs water. She needs nutrition. And she needs time. And she's getting all of those things. She's still the taller Cash Express. She's still lush. She's still beautiful. She's still developing those flowers and those unmistakable white pistils. And she's still writing her own story. I don't want to change that. I want to document it. So keep doing what you're doing, girl. Keep growing. Keep flowering. Keep showing us what this phenotype can become. The lights are ready. The environment is steady. The nutrition is supporting you. And we're watching. 🚂🌸💚💡 Let's make her shine. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these twelve individual stories. Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these genetics and discover how differently individual phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this flowering journey with the nutrition helping these girls continue developing. And a huge thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs powering our artificial sun and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, adjust the output and find a practical operating level has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also reducing unnecessary electricity consumption. That's exactly the kind of real-world testing I love. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for continuing to help bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore lighting as a three-dimensional environment. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person stopping by to see how the girls are doing. You're all part of this adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. And this particular story? It's Cash Express Pheno B. She's taller. She's lush. She's beautiful. She's flowering. She's developing. And she's doing it her own way. The lights are stronger. The nutrition has moved slightly. The environment remains stable. And now... we let her continue. 🚂🌿🌸💡 Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is provide the conditions, pay attention, and step back. Cash Express Pheno B doesn't need us to force the story. She's already writing it. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this beautiful girl shows us next. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🚂🔥

Я. Севодня. Решил. Срезать эту. Девочку как. Думаити. Это. Правильно ?

Started intense stress training by bending the main stems below the canopy line. She has stopped smelling completely which is a good sign the flowering has flipped nicely!

Hi my friends! Thank you all for such amazing support on this sweet journey 🙏✌️💚 I'm updating and uploading daily so if week not completed yet. Please revisit to see full week content. So far everything is going great. Girls are are stretching nicely approx 2cm per 24h. It's looking that will cover entire scrog net with these 2 beauties. Simple plan for the week. Training on the net and maybe selective defoliation on week end. Week updates: 20-26 Nov. 20/11 day 43 Girls adapting well to net😁 21/11 day 44 First watering for this week. 2.5 ltr each pot. Runoff approx 200-300ml from each. Runoff Ph Xena 5.9 Athena 6.0. 23/11 day 46 It's seems that they stretched at least an inch overnight 😁 absolutely love my 🍌💜👊 girls. 25/11 day 48 Second watering for this week. Approx. 3L each 🤤 runoff 150-200ml. 26/11 day 49 Athena was stretching so much that decided for sort of heavier selective defoliation and cleared good bit under the net. Xena is at the same stage of flowering as sister but she is still much smaller, branches are shorter and tinner, will wait bit longer before go any heavier on her. Was able to nicely relocate longer branches of Athena all over the net. It's the end of this amazing week 😁 Thank you all for stopping by and for such amazing support on this bananas ride 🍌💜👊 Love you all brothers and sisters 💚💚💚

We had a little overdose that defected some leaves on left plant, but not too much. We regarded this and previous week as pre-blossom, so definitely will change the composition of the additives next week.

Things are looking well. Had a haircut yesterday. Durban poison is still stretching so am still scrogging when needed.

In der Wachstumsphase wurde die Pflanze mehrfach per LST trainiert, später folgten Entlaubung und Lollipopping. Am 01.08. ging es auf 12/12. Während des gesamten Grows wollte ich bewusst testen, wie gut ein möglichst einfaches BioTabs-only-Setup funktioniert. Abgesehen von etwas Bittersalz bei Bedarf und einer späten Gabe TopMax gab es praktisch keine zusätzlichen Blütedünger. Zwischendurch zeigten sich leichte verbrannte Spitzen bzw. Anzeichen eines Lockouts, außerdem musste der Grow vom Keller in die Wohnung umziehen, was eine längere Dunkelphase mit sich brachte. Insgesamt haben die Pflanzen das aber problemlos weggesteckt. Die Blüte entwickelte sich zunehmend fruchtig und süß, mit dem typischen Blueberry-Charakter. Gegen Ende setzte ein deutlicher natürlicher Fade ein und die Trichome wurden regelmäßig kontrolliert. Nach gut 9 Wochen Blüte fiel am 06.10.2026 schließlich die Ernte. Ergebnis direkt nach der Ernte: ca. 380g Nassgewicht. Für einen Grow mit nur 200 W, einfacher organischer Versorgung und automatischer Blumat-Bewässerung bin ich mit dem Ergebnis bisher sehr zufrieden. Jetzt heißt es warten, trocknen und curen. ?🌱✂️
