June 9: plant is doing great after first topping. Very hot and smoky again today. Did a foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate, pH adjusted using Apple cider vinegar to about 6.8. Might have overdone it slightly but they’ll recover. June 10: foliar of soluble seaweed extract to help beat the 30 C heat. Still misting plants periodically to compensate for sub 30% humidity. I knew it was a hot spring, but holy fuck, 5.8 C warmer than historic average is crazy. June 14: rain day. Compost tea in video was left for 36-48 hours before use.

Flush mode!! Day early but chopping right soon Everything turned out awesome , really impressed with the Futur vert flora max series and the Futur vert uv led bar , love to add 2 more to the tent. I’ll update next when I harvest in a few days Thanks everyone who checked out my grow Happy growing fam

Seit 2 tagen gibt es nur noch Wasser aus dem Wasser Hahn Ohne Chlor aber mit Sauerstoff mit PH 7,8 Wasser aus Rohr Leitungen enthält weniger Sauerstoff als beispielsweise Regenwasser. Ich habe den Ph wert aber seit 3 Wochen nicht gemessen Weil ich vermutlich einen zu niedrigen PH Wert hatte durch meine Dünger Mischung BioBiZz wie oben angegeben. Ich habe noch nie PH up benutzt oder benötigt bis jetzt.

day 38 stopped giving PK, carbs. only humic, folvic fishsh!t in watering. lifted terps video sticky icky video day 39 just humic and folvic into water. day42 bridal party gained a lot of weight, started to lean over blackberry. I feel like I could chop today.. slight chance might meet remo :)

The plants have been flushing for almost a week now. Really starting to change colors. I can't wait to see how much I get from them.

Here are week two looking lovely

Aug 9: Now done three weeks of flowering for Tropicana Cookies EV. She is the youngest plant but also the tallest and looking quite happy. Got the UV led lights from AC Infinity going for the first time. Used these last year and they seem to work. UV lights stimulates trichome production and makes up for weak sunlight this far north. Aug 12: has stretched again but the bud sites are filling nicely. Pistils have started to turn pink. This plant is looking very happy and will likely be a big producer. Added another top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. It has been about two weeks at least since the last round, and this will be the final round. Stopped using molasses about two weeks ago. Great for growing but I don’t want to be smoking sugar. Use during veg stage but only 2-3 weeks into flowering.

I cut a girl this week, it was my first more normal haircut:) maybe I overdid it a bit, but she continues to grow and I'm happy about that :) today she will get food 2x in a row :)

I have watered her twice this week, once with 3l of rain water and once with 3,5l of rain water. I will probably up the volume a bit more next week. There are still some burned tips but the rest of the plant is OK. I will not be home for the next 2 weeks so I will rely on other people to take care of my girls, hopefully it al goes well🙏.

8/2/25 she seems extremely happy and very vigorous in her new controlled environment

We are true fans of what we do. We call ourselves growers with dignity. Back in 2023, we kept growing indoors even when there was no electricity for months and power was only available for a few hours a day. We used generators, and when they broke down during winter, so our beauties wouldn’t freeze, we heated water over open fires, filled plastic bottles with it, and used them to keep the temperature stable until we could repair the old generator or buy a new one. We did all of this within just a few hours, over and over again. But what happened this year, just one day ago, was something truly horrifying. I posted the video here showing how it happened and how lucky I was to survive. We are not giving up, and we are trying to stay strong even though it is incredibly hard. Even now, after everything that happened, we are still trying to save the plants. They were ripped out by the roots and wilted badly, but they are photoperiod plants, and we still hope they can recover. I uploaded the video of what happened — you can watch it in the diary. And I want to wish everyone peaceful skies above their heads. Value and support each other. Watch the security camera footage with sound on.💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 6 | Building Sweet Foundations Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest rewards of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is watching each one reveal her own personality. Some race into flower. Others take their time. Some grow broad, powerful leaves. Others reach for the sky with elegant spacing between every node. Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to prove that she's a lady who likes to do things her own way. Still growing under the 12/12 From Seed method, she has now settled comfortably into early flowering. The explosive stretch is beginning to slow, and all that energy is gradually being redirected toward what matters most now... Building flowers. Every day her structure becomes a little more defined, and every new pistil reminds us that this beautiful lady is only just getting started. ⸻ 🌼 Early Flowers Becoming Real Bud Sites One of the biggest changes this week isn't dramatic at first glance, but it's incredibly exciting once you know what you're looking for. Last week we celebrated the appearance of the first white pistils. This week those tiny flowers have begun gathering together, forming the first recognizable bud sites across the entire plant. The main cola is starting to establish itself, while every branch is producing neat little clusters that will eventually connect into long, resin-coated flowers. It's one of my favourite stages of any grow. Everything is still delicate and full of promise, but you can already begin to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. The blueprint has been drawn. Now the construction begins. ⸻ 🍃 Those Beautiful Giant Leaves If there is one feature that continues stealing the spotlight, it's those incredible fan leaves. They're still enormous. Wide, elegant and working around the clock as natural solar panels, capturing every available photon and converting it into energy for flower production. This week I also noticed some of the older lower leaves becoming a lighter shade of green. I'm not concerned. During the transition into flowering it's common for vigorous plants to increase their nutrient demand while redirecting energy toward rapid growth and bud formation. Rather than chasing perfection, I prefer listening carefully to what the plant is telling me. We'll continue monitoring her closely, making small adjustments only when they're truly needed. Healthy growing is about observation, not overreaction. And overall... This beautiful lady still looks full of life and determination. ⸻ 🌱 AutoPot Doing Its Job Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues thriving in the AutoPot system. By allowing the plant to decide when she drinks, the root zone remains consistently supplied without the repeated wet-and-dry cycles of traditional watering. One of the things I appreciate most about this system is how quietly it does its work. There's no timer deciding when the plant should eat. The plant makes that decision herself. As her flowers continue developing and daily water consumption increases, the AutoPot will simply keep following her rhythm. It's a partnership more than a watering system. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week This week's nutrient program continued supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining enough nutrition for the final stages of the stretch. The feeding schedule included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick when required The focus now shifts gradually away from vegetative growth and toward flower production. As always, changes are made carefully and based on the plant's response rather than following a fixed calendar. Every phenotype speaks a slightly different language. Learning to understand that language is one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for continued flower development. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With the stretch beginning to slow, humidity has started coming down compared to earlier weeks. Lower humidity encourages healthy flower development while maintaining excellent transpiration and reducing future risks as the buds become denser. A stable environment allows the plants to focus their energy where we want it most—building flowers. ⸻ 📸 Watching the Story Unfold This week's photographs capture a plant that is quietly entering a new chapter. The towering fan leaves still dominate the canopy, but now they're sharing the stage with dozens of fresh flower sites emerging from every branch. Looking back through previous weeks makes the transformation even more impressive. What started as a young seedling has become a strong, elegant plant preparing for the busiest weeks of her life. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting every stage. These photos aren't just memories. They're milestones. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowers to become noticeably larger as more pistils emerge and the first signs of stacking begin. The stretch should gradually come to an end, allowing the plant to invest more and more energy into flower production. We'll continue watching the lighter lower leaves, making gentle adjustments if necessary while allowing the rest of the plant to keep doing what she's already doing so well. Sometimes the healthiest gardens aren't the ones where we intervene the most. They're the ones where we learn when to simply observe. Chem Brûlée Pheno A seems determined to remind me of exactly that. ⸻ 💚 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 watching these incredible plants grow, I'm truly grateful to have you along for the journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge, experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Zamnesia for providing the beautiful genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting throughout the entire cycle. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even those who challenge me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make these diaries far more meaningful than they would ever be on their own. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue turning those giant leaves into the energy needed to build what already promises to be something very special. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

This is the part where I take lots and lots of pictures and things, I loooove me some pretty buds! She’s getting quite fat! Got a little bit of a lean going haha She looks so pretttyyyy in the video with flash I’ve got this week

Okay ladies and gentlemen today is day 73 and as you can tell, this girl has quite some time ago, i'm thinking a month to a month and a half.. she's showing some sativa traits like the fan leaves having skinny fingers and the buds being long and narrow, which is fine by me. Because I am a sativa lover. However, I am hoping and or was hoping for big fat baseball bat colas to show off some sexy pictures for Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron nutrients so we're gonna do our best to make that happen still... We are at 95% white pistols still so there is hope that in the next couple weeks, she fattens up.. i hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies , I really appreciate everybody stopping by and showing love .. thank you as always to both Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron for putting this contest together (cookies take notes 📝) lol .. I just put another Zamnesia Seed in the dirt yesterday, so we have another one coming up this week .. God bless everybody and happy growing ✌️

Everything went Green in this space homies! I'm just controlling the stretch with the net, not to emullate a full scrog, since the net Is from baggage not the scrog purpose to prevent light burn,. Feeding schema Is posted to maintain a small rooster of fertilizers, but barrier was not considered as fertilizer even when it surplus, in this ocassion it has the purpose to future plague prevention & expansion. Elongation of each plant : Eleven Roses : In this case they are being a bit low profile compared to other plants, expect that for a indica, that had LST . Santa Bilbo: they do elongate but a bit more controlled with the top cut & lst combo. This was a tough lesson because i already know the strains , indeed of all as quoted as first week. G13: But this one buddy still surprises me even being an almost indica legend, they are being one of the most forgiving plant i had know, but stretches way more than i remember !. Cheers! ☺️

22-01 Already in week 5 and the topping is taking off its results. *I ended the grow of nr: 3, just bad genes. but more light for the other 3 plants. 24-01: Applied another round of LST today. This time to create 4 main coala's and a wide and full deck of leafs. When the plants start to get more busy i will add an scrogg technique and do a little defoliation at the bottom of them to take even more profit of the LST. 26-01 I added Mega worm from plagron to the soil to give the plants a big boost so that they are ready for a strong flowering phase.

👇 This week: --- Watering 1l-1.5l every day. PPFD at canopy height approximately 900 (increase slowly), VPD ~1.3 Big defoliation, lollipopped some plants at day 21, will wait for the last 2 till day 28 Ladys got 500ml compost tea each (biotabs recipe from kees) from now on every week - Recipe: 15gr compost PK/L, 5ml orgatrex/L, 1gr bactrex/L - brew for 24-36h) --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

This strain is growing fast and flawless so far they are stretching alot more than expected and hope that stops soon running out of room after 4' tall wich is 5' tall from the tent floor was 2' only last week

At the end of week 10 the 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS are ready to harvest. The plants have all started to fade and get yellow leaves and hardly have any whit pistils anymore. I check the trichomes with a handheld microscope and see that they have all turned milky and some even amber...now is the PERFECT MOMENT to harvest them, they have reached PEAK-THC now. The colas on each plant are HUGE and COVERED IN TRICHOMES. A strong 'hazy' aroma is filling out the tent, its an earthy and mildly sweet smell, very enticing, I cant wait to try my medicine after its dry. The plants on the left side under the LUMATEK ZEUS 600W PRO are less uniform (=some are taller, some are smaller) and less compact than on the other side. The right side under the two SANlight Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps has grown more uniform (all plants have almost the same height) and with more compact buds. The trichome production was very good on both sides, the quality of the buds is OUTSTANDING!
