The review is finally there. I structured it in a new way. 4 categories, all count equally for the final rating. Growth, buds, taste and high. That are the only categories that matter for me. It was a funny journey and I learned a lot. The nutrients from BioTabs are absolutely amazing an I am very glad that I can work with them in future grows. I had no issues when it comes to the nutrients and the resulting product is top notch. Was a very easy process too. I am a huge fan of dry amendments now and will continue with BioTabs. The yield of this strain or this particular pheno is out of this world. Because of the stretch I only was able to run the lights at 70 % which is approximately 70 W. In the VGrow with a grow area of 0.16 m². And I pulled exactly 100 g dry buds out of it. That's a wopping 142,9 g/W or 625 g/m². Insane. These Jet Fuel Gelato crosses from Compound are insane yielders, if you're looking for a lot of stank per grow, this is a legit breeding line for that. But be wary of stretch. For my next grow I chose a breeder that I have already covered. I am still in the search for real dessert terps because I want to build up my palate. For that, one needs to taste every kind of weed and since I am really intrigued by sweet, creamy and spicy smells as well as tastes, this is the logical next step. The new seed is already popped, which means the new diary will start soon! Thanks for hanging around and sharing this truly beautiful (would even say the very best) hobby. I cannot wait for the next grow season! See you soon 🌱💚

Der Grow ist Gestartet 01.03. mit der Keimung. Nach 20 Stunden bei 28 grad zeigte sie ihre Wurzel. Heute ist der 4.3 und sie hat ihren Köpfchen gezeigt.

This was the first time i started feeding, i should have started sooner the plant is a bit yellowing and calcium short, she will be perfect in 4 days i fed 5 liters trough with epsom salt and good flowering nutrients The smell is very intense if u keep your nose on the buds, i do see shes getting purple flowers

So this is week the beginning of week 5 seems like it started to stretch a bit and hasn't gotten as bushy as I thought lowered the light a bit to se if it would help will see how the week goes..decided to do some LST on the plant let’s see how she likes it

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 7 | Small Plant, Big Personality Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system and nutrient solution, allowing genetics to be the real variable. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. Cash Express Pheno A continues growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and once again she's proving that size has very little to do with beauty. She may be one of the smaller plants in the tent... But she's quickly becoming one of my favourites to photograph. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues progressing beautifully this week. The fresh white pistils are multiplying rapidly and every flowering site is beginning to stack with much more confidence. What started as tiny clusters only a short time ago are now clearly becoming proper bud sites. The stretch has slowed considerably compared to previous weeks, allowing the plant to focus more of her energy on flower production. She's no longer trying to become taller. She's focused on becoming prettier. Every day the structure becomes a little more defined, making it easier to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Small... But Absolutely Beautiful Cash Express Pheno A belongs to the smaller group of plants inside the tent. She's compact, elegant and has never tried to compete with the taller girls surrounding her. Instead, she's building an incredibly balanced structure with evenly spaced flowering sites and a canopy that's a pleasure to observe. Sometimes we naturally associate bigger plants with bigger expectations. This little lady reminds us that's not always the case. Her architecture is outstanding. Every branch seems perfectly positioned, every flower receives excellent exposure, and the entire plant has developed into a very symmetrical little bush. I'm genuinely excited to see where she goes from here. ──────────────────────────── 💡 A Little Help From Below One advantage of her compact stature is the way she benefits from the under-canopy lighting. Being slightly further away from the main overhead fixtures than some of the taller plants, the LumiFlora under-canopy lights help illuminate the lower flowering sites, ensuring those developing buds continue receiving quality light from beneath the canopy as well. It's one of the advantages of combining overhead lighting with under-canopy illumination. Instead of allowing the lower flowers to live in permanent shade, they receive additional energy exactly where it's needed. It will be very interesting to see how much this contributes to flower development as the weeks progress. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing every cultivar to focus entirely on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency continues being one of the biggest reasons the entire room is developing so evenly despite the huge genetic diversity. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the plants request it, keeping the root zone stable and eliminating the need for scheduled watering. This week's reservoir consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The plant continues responding beautifully to this feeding programme, maintaining healthy foliage while steadily increasing flower production across the entire canopy. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really capture why I enjoy this phenotype so much. The close-up images highlight beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils, while the wider shots reveal a plant that's incredibly balanced from top to bottom. She's not flashy. She's simply elegant. One of my favourite photographs this week shows just how evenly every branch has developed, creating a canopy that almost seems designed rather than grown. Sometimes the smallest plants become the most photogenic ones. And I think Cash Express Pheno A is quietly proving exactly that. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly exciting. Now that the stretch is slowing down, I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively while resin production gradually starts increasing. I'm especially curious to see how this compact structure responds as the buds gain weight. Will she produce short, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with longer spears than her structure currently suggests? Only time will answer that question. For now, I'll continue giving her exactly what she needs and simply enjoy watching her story unfold one week at a time. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that every plant deserves to tell its own story, regardless of whether it's the biggest, the tallest or the fastest in the room. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal new surprises every week. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful overhead lighting that drives this project from seed to harvest. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the excellent under-canopy lighting, helping ensure every flowering site has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. And of course, thank you to AutoPot for making irrigation effortless while allowing the plants themselves to decide exactly when they want to drink. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following this adventure. Your support makes this project even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers around the world. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno A continues proving that sometimes the smallest plants have the biggest personalities. 💚🚂🌱

Alright Then We just hit week 2 and all is well , have to admit she's showing great , Growth in just 14 days😃 ....... Middle of this week I have decided to start a little training by pulling her over to the side and have decided to top it 👌 Very little water given ,so far and rain water to be used entire growth Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 👉I WISH GD HAD DISCORD SERVER SO GROWMIES COULD HAVE A PLACE TO HELP AND TALK THINGS RELATED TO GROWING IN REAL TIME .....👈 👉SO I CREATED ONE ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

* ***************** Week 2 of Growth From Seed, April 18 to 25, 2020 - Days 8 to 14 from germination ********************** * Getting rolling on week 2. Not a surprise for me that she is doing very well. I seem to match well with the traits in Sweet Seeds selections. She is wide and will squeeze out her third set of leaves this week and hopefully working on her fourth set......time will tell🤞She is also getting more green at the start of the week so its time for some plain water as well. The medium has had little to no runoff so far so the ppm will be building and likely pH adjusting slightly,. Switch CalMag this week and going with GH as it has a 1% value for Nitrogen. Will be increasing the CalMag now as well. Will be getting ppm in the 500 range more this week. May start to introduce Sensyzime at the end of the week. Keep moving the lights up and down trying to dial in between 18” and 30” and see how they react. Seems to be about 28” right now they are happy. Playing with the VPD and finding that they are not as happy with the VPD up around 1.0 and rather happier around 1.4??? Happier meaning tips and looking like she is getting bigger. Played with humidity this weekend as well between 52% and 75%. Again, they seem happiest around 58%..........going to try that for a couple of days and see how they grow for the next few days. I feel they are alrighty slower at the high humidity. Not backing away for this but rather trying to read the girls🤪🤪🤪🤪 *****Daily Detail: Apr 18, Day 9 - VPD - 1.1 - 2L feed with Vitathrive and Velokelp and Dual Fuel @ 0.75ml/L, CaMg+ @ 0.75ml/L = 575ppm, 5.8pH. - playing with humidity up and down today. - ready for a plain water feed and a little larger quantity to soak all the medium. - not sure if tomorrow though.......might be a little wet yet in the medium. - she is doing very well. She has gotten taller and seems very energetic right now😀👍 Apr 19, Day 9 - VPD - 1.3 - 2L watering today with CaMg and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L each. 240ppm with 5.9pH. - Had more runoff, that was the goal. Didn't bother to measure this though. - Just trying to bring the medium pH in line and reduce some of the ppm. - Things just aren't progressing as I think they should. Apr 20, Day 10 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day - lower humidity in tent to 55% Apr 21, Day 11 - VPD 1.5 - dry out day, again. Humidity kept low. - Added home made CO2 to the tent today. - 3.5" tall only. - this girl is doing the best in the tent right now. She has handled the over feeding the best of them. Apr 22, Day 12 - VPD 1.4 - Dry out day yet again but now raising the humidity back to 65%. - tips back up today. Apr 23, Day 13 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - P & V & Vitathrive @ 1ml/L, DF & CalMag@ 0.5ml/L = 410ppm and 5.9pH - primarily calmag and something for roots. - She has some wide leaves and doing well. She has just been slowed down....crap. Apr 24, Day 14 - VPD 1.4 - 0.5L - Voodoo and Piranha and VeloKelp @ 2ml/L = 180ppm pH'd to 5.6 - tough week.......she battled over watering as a result of some over feeding last week.

good with training and strong genetically. good for extracts. medicinal potentials include fatigue, tension, and stomach pain. my grow style seems to minimize ‘cheesy’ terpenes in favor of amazing tropical sweetness. cheers

Could have gotten more off the plant of it wasn’t mutated from the get. But oh well I’m not mad about it. I just won’t be growing anything from that company ever again and also won’t be growing old strains anytime soon. I’ve had so much more success with other genetics of different strains from different company’s. The Skywalker from DNA came out amazing. The sour wiz just came down and that’s even better. Thanks for looking.

This week was good, trying to give transiting plant as much light expo. as possible......also removed most of the smaller bud site........the one that is in full flower mood is super healthy n green gonna start packing size from next week on a (k) diet

Week 10 D70 coming along nicely, still has a ways to go. As she only started stigma 20 days ago, well in or around that. For 5 nodes in total she is doing really well you can see all the energy is focused on making nice dense close together buds that should all form into nice big long colas, well to me, that's the way it looks like it's growing. Only flowering 20days looks a lot longer than that right? What do you think? 19/3/22 As you can see I have the RH as best as I can get in my grow room, I've installed the smart fan and inserted the sensor giving me 57%RH/75F in the tent, with the light off, it's rather hot today, much hotter than normal, it's normally 21c in my room it's 24.5 today. RH is at 50% in room, hopefully by installing my old intake fan in the lowest part of my tent and suck out 80% While 100% gets blown in on top will bring the tents RH to the same as the room, that's the hope anyways. But 57%RH is still okay, not optimal but not too bad neither. Thanks for reading, drop a like or comment so I can do like wise on your diaries. 21/3/22 So, I tried out my new method. Of having my smart intake fan suck in 50RH and a bottom intake fan at the end sucking out older air at a lesser speed had it running for 8hrs, no change in humidity whatsoever just dropped the temp by 1.5c. I think the fact I have a 70x70 with so many plants has set the RH and thankfully it's not what it was which was touching on 80rh at some days. A bigger tent and I'll really be able to dial in my grows now I have all the tools to control RH/TEMP from S/H. For now 57%RH when it's low and 62% when the lights are on for a few hours. Stays around 57-60% atm for around 85% of the time. Temp is constant and doesn't change without my control within a range of 4-6c change difference, this number I have no problem in changing and I'll be making my tent a lot cooler after this wk ends. I'll be keeping her at 18c with lights off and 28 with lights on. As for this plant she is a little gem. For 5 nodes she has a lovely shape and in this plants case there really is nothing that should be done to it at this stage, just let her beauty unfold. gottagrowsometime

.

Last days before harvest, can't wait to smoke her. Day 88 - Last day before harvest, very excited. I will turn down lights about 1 AM, and harvest at about 2 PM. Day 89 will be a harvest day. Peace.

Well 84 days later ...in Flower its was finally time to Harvest . I sure had my challenges as a beginner and learned a lot by my mistakes and learning about fixing issues and keeping the environment Consistent . I did turn my 600HPS down to 400 as i was my plants were getting light burn and heat burn ..... lets just say i was learning all the way throw . it was exciting being my very first time . I started flowering too late late and they stretched and stretched ... i dont have much space ....lesson learned . I had to train them to grow sideways which did help significantly as did the lower my light to 400 watts ..my space is a square Meter and low ...... it was crazy but I really enjoyed it and there hanging ..... Personally I thought id end up killin them ...lol Thanks for the advice and comments they were greatly appreciated ... Happy growing .... Hope my next ones are Prettier ,,,,LOL Cheers

Our sweet lady survived a week of raind and intense wind, the golden rope you see was helping the buds to stay still and to help save branches from breaking. The lady is super sugary and sticky right now, but the buds seem like they are not gonna thicken more than that. This plant has been stressed multiple times during her lifetime, from broken branches to light overdose, she has been kept away from direct sunlight since than, so this is the cause we attribute to this slower growth. Our biggest doubt is about harvest time. The buds do not seem big at all, but they look very orange and the breed's harvest is said to be in mid October, so we should start flushing! While I think we should wait untill the last week of the month, F. says i's almost time for drying. 😵😲 Looking at some pics of last year's harvest I am afraid this lady is not going to produce as much as we tought, maybe because this is our first experience with so many nutrients. Hope someone can help about harvest and buds overall look 😬😬

Week 7 Update: Welcome to the Jungle! (Flowering has officially begun) General Observations: Week 7 is here, and the stretch is on! The plant has officially transitioned into the flowering phase. As you can see from the photos, bud sites are developing rapidly all over the plant, and there is an explosion of white pistils (hairs) at every top. The plant seems incredibly happy and vigorous right now. Training & Canopy Management: The Low Stress Training (LST) has been paying off massively. You can see in the close-up shots how the green LST clips and wire ties have successfully kept the main stem bent and the canopy even. Because of this, multiple colas are reaching the top of the canopy and getting an equal share of the light. The stems are thickening up nicely to support the future buds. I'm keeping a close eye on the clips and wires to ensure they aren't choking the stems as they grow thicker. Plant Health: Overall health is excellent. The foliage is a lush, dark green, indicating that nitrogen levels have been solid through the vegetative stage. No major signs of stress, pests, or deficiencies. The leaves are praying upwards, which means she is loving the light and current environmental conditions. Next Steps for this Week: Nutrients: Now that she is heavily developing flowers, I will be adjusting/continuing the bloom nutrients to give her the Phosphorus and Potassium (P-K) she needs to swell those buds, while slowly easing off the Nitrogen. (Edit this part based on your actual feeding schedule) Defoliation: I might do some very light defoliation of the lower, shaded leaves that aren't getting light, just to improve airflow and direct the plant's energy strictly to the top colas, but I don't want to stress her out too much during the stretch. Environment: Keeping humidity in check as the bud sites get denser to prevent any future issues. Looking forward to seeing these little puffballs swell up over the next few weeks! Happy growing! 🌱✌️
