01/10/22 Everything is Going good, which means something bad is going to happen. Plants were 9 inches at the end of week 4 on day one of week 5 they were topped and defoliated which brought the height to 4.5 inches, So after the shock of having there tops removed they grew 4 inches in one week. Extremely happy I'm keeping track.01/13/22 Defoliated and LST'D the plants.01/14/22 Adjusted LST , removed all branches growing on the underside to allow for proper Growth of other branches. Fingers crossed this should be a decent harvest flipping on week 9.

7/4 SUN was poking out a little bit. Plants loved that little feeding and seen to he noticeable larger this morning. I'm considering starting the nutes. At least the organic ones as well as upping the water intake I've been scared to water with all this rain and my experience last time. I plan on applying BT this afternoon and doing some work on the bottoms of the plants. I also saw a chipmunk in my cage so I have some spots in my fence that need to be patched. I know I can't compare this year to orher years as these are seeds and all the other years were clones. I CAN say for certain that my plants are healthiest they've been out of any of my journals. Previous plants were much larger but I was fighting numerous fungal, pathogens and pests at the sane time. Ear wigs would've lollipopped most buddies by now but I've seen no sign of them. I'm going to apply more poison where they were and add some rat traps inside the cage for the chipmunks. Once I fix the cage I think I'll be good. UPDATE: Went back over and fixed the holes on my cage from high winds. I found an old wire trap or cage and just cut sections and ziptied them to the existing wire and to the structure thus covering any open holes. I'll need to put lathes aroubdvtge outside because if a rodent REALLY wanted in they could get in. My belt had been wearing thin but I use shit until it breaks (yesterday the heal came off my shoe lol) so I was working hard sweating my nuts off and my belt gives out totally. At least ive got the major stuff done. I took a few videos too. I'm imagining it was this little bit of sun that gave these plants that boost of growth but I'm wondering if the added nutes had anything to do with it. Bags weren't light and I could feel moisture in the soil so I didn't water. I'll check again tomorrow morning. Since I didn't see many plants or even leaves for that matter with damage I decided to hold off ob the BT and the plant doctor. Only time will tell if that was the right decision. 7/5 Plants look fantastic. I see a few more holes in leaves sporadically amd I'm hoping it's pillars. I've seen lots of lightning bugs on my camera though and grasshoppers are abundant. Not one growth shoot has been chewed (knock on wood) which is what the earwigs had always done. I watched a video from last year and by nowcthey had lollipopped all lower leaves. It may not be the best weather growing season wise but despite the rh consistently in the 90's I still don't have pm or fungal pathogens. Need to get the BT out. Didn't water as we've had all that rain. I'll water either tonight or tomorrow morning. Sunny high in the 90s low is 66. Tomorrow looks good too. UPDATE WENT BACK OVER AROUND FIVE. IT WAS 88 DEGREES SO I WANTED TO CHECK THE GROW BAGS. THE POTS ARE FINE. IT WAS HUMID AS HELL. ONE PLANT WAS SLIGHTLY DROOPY BUT VERY LIGHT AND DRY. I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT SEEMED LIGHTER THAN THE REST BUT HADNT DROOPED. I MIXED TWO GALLONS OF WATER WITH 1TSP KANGOROOTS AMD PHED IT CLOSE TO 6. I FED THE 3 PLANTS THAT WERE SUPER DRY LIKE A HALF GALLON AND SPRED THE REST OVER THE OTHER EIGHT PLANTS. THEY WERENT DROOPING BUT THEY WERE VERY DRY. I PLAN ON A FULL WATER TOMORROW. I WOULDVE DONE IT TODAY IF THE TEMPS WERENT SO HIGH. ITS RAINED A MONTH STRAIGHT SO I HAVENT HAD TO WATER. I MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/6 Another super hot day. I hefted the pots and they still had some weight but I could tell they were dry. This rain has messed up my watering schedule. Well it made it so I didn't NEED to water. These are big plants now. I need to get a schedule to stick too. They're going to probably need a gallon a piece at least. I'm still nervous watering. Right now I'm just reading the plants. I added .5tsp kelp me/you to 1 gallon of water to help with heat stress. I fed an additional two gallons to the garden this morning including the two container plants in the back. They were dry on top too but I know they have water deeper down. Next watering I'll be more consistent and try to give them there 10%. It's great having the bags elevated. I can finally see when I start getting run off. I could even measure the ph of it instead of relying on that meter. Ill check the ph when I go back over. Still a few 🐛 holes but they are few and far between. I really don't want to spray for such a small problem but if I cant find them at night that's what I'll do. UPDATE: Another 90 degree day. I went back over and gave the garden a gallon of water as they were dry and it didn't rain. Tried to use a soil ph meter to check ph. First couple were 6.4, 6.5 then I got 7.3 and I accidently dropped it. Then I got somethings that were high eights and even one 9! Obviously the Meter shit the bed. I'll lower the ph of the water slightly when I fully water tomorrow and I'm going to measure the runoff. 7/8 I must've messed up the journal again as the dates are off. GAVE PLANTS A FULL WATERING. Each girl got a gallon. I couldn't upload my videos this morning as I had to break up a fight. 3 on 1. Didn't give me a chance to put the videos up. I'll take some stills then I can upload them. I took stills and they all uploaded but didn't fucking save. I'm nit going to keep trying to upload if it's not going to. Noticed a few more holes in leaves and one skeletinized leaf so I need to either spray the bt or something more versatile. I'm putting more poison around the cage and de between the bags. I'll go check things out tonight. Sick of writing a book and uploading to just hace them disappear 7/9 Did a quick video today. Noticed the bags were fairly light despite the plants being soaked amd the pallets wet. I was pressed for time. I gave two gallons to the entire garden. I hope that will hold them over until tomorrow. I'll need to up how much water I give them. Going with a gallon and a half next time. I see more pillar spots and a moth took off when I shook the plants this morning. So I'm gonna have too apply the BT. I figure if I go over before dark tonight I might be able to see aju nocturnal insects around. Luckily my dad feeds the birds and they are always there. I think they help with pests. UPDATE IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER TODAY BUT MICH MORE HUMID. I WENT AROUND SIX TO MAKE SURE THE GIRLS WERE OK WITH WATER AND TO GIVE THEM A TREATMENT OF BT. I WENT THROUGH THE GARDEN ANDCGOUND THREE LEQVES TO DEFOLIATE AND LITERALLY A COUPLE LEAVES ON TWO PLANTS WITH PILLAR HILESM WHEN I ARRIVED TWO BIRDS FLEW OUT. A HORNET CAME IN WHILE I WAS THERE. THIS DO LESS APPROACH SEEMS TO BE REALLY WORKING. I DODNT SEE NEARLT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WARRANT SPRAY8NG MY EXTREMELY HEALTHY GIROS WITH ANYTHING. ILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND CLEAN THEM UP A BIT. I DO NEED TO INSTALL THE VERY8CAL TRELLIS FOR SUPPORT. THEYRE PRETTY HEALTHY THOUGH. ONE PLANT IS ABOUT AS WIDE AS IT IS TALL. STILL......PLANTS ARE EXPLODING AND ITS GETTING TIGHT IN THERE. I NEED TO GET THE TRELLIS UP THOUGH. 7/10 I went over and was planning to water. Plants were wet and it's raining. Top of the medium was moist but the bags were light. ONE bag was super light but seeing that we are having showers all day and an additional half inch of rain coming tonight so I didn't water them. Especially since they looked great. Decided to to spray BT yet as the damage is so small and i think the birds have been taking care of the pillars for me. Now I'm wondering if I should've gave that ONE plant a little bit of water but it will be find. Did a video. I'm being careful not to over water. Last year this is when all my buddies were devoured by earwigs. And no senescence like the years before. I think it was hust those earwigs. I haven't lost shot for leaves. Even the stalks are bright green and look amazing.

Tag 63 - Ende der 9. Woche. Die Blüten entwickeln sicher super und duften extrem. Der Hauptstamm wird schwer, sodass ich die Pflanzen etwas stützen muss, damit sie nicht biegen. Das Harz an den Blüten hat diese Woche nochmal deutlich zugelegt. In dieser Woche habe ich den Dünger angepasst und Big Bud durch Overdrive ausgetauscht um die Blüten zu härten. Diesen Vorgang werde ich vermutlich nächste Woche nochmal wiederholen und dann langsam aber sicher mit dem spülen beginnen. Wir beginnen nun mit der 7. Blütenwoche. An Tag 57 wurde die Pflanze gedüngt. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients. 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B 2 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients. 2 ml/l - Overdrive Advanced Nutrients. Davon hat die Pflanze 1l an Tag 57 erhalten.

Beginning of week.. I did remove a few fan leaves.. I also only adjusted the very top branches.. The very lowest branches are completely untied and have only had some HST but recovered a little too well.. The stems have straightened back out and are all knotted up.. Damnit.. Same issue I faced in my last grow.. I should just stop being lazy and tie all the damn branches down.. But all this week I will be adding more training.. Kinda slowly.. Not for any reason, other than it takes a while and I need to make time for it all lol.. It should get done in the next 2 - 3 days and she should be ready for her next photoshoot (mid week pics)! Went ahead and added in some FloraBloom.. She wasn't getting much P.. So I pee'd on her LMAO im just kidding.. Just adding a half dose of FloraBloom to take care of the P issue.. I need to start watering/feeding daily.. She seems to be drinking quite a bit more.. Which would make perfect sense duh! Lol Next day... Went ahead and adjusted 4 branches.. Tying down the bottom 2 that were left untied.. Now she is all tied down lol... Looking flat as fuck! I love it! One branch was beginning to crack.. So I eased up on it.. But still bent the very top of that stem down a little.. So the lower branches should still be able to catch up.. She is going to be a seriously gorgeous, thick bush lol Mid week.. Doing good.. Still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc.. What I do is I feed one day, wait 2 days and water, then feed again the next day.. Then wait 2 days and water.. The point of doing that is so she has more days of nutes than with less nutes.. Idk.. Just my take on it.. She is becoming such a gorgeous bush! End of week.. She is getting so bushy. Going to have to flip to 12/12 tomorrow and also put her in a 2'×2'×5 CoolGrows tent.. This is not what I wanted to do.. But this is a last minute decision.. Hope it works out still

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hi! Here we go atbthe beggining of the 4th week of flowering. She is beautiful check out the main stalk crazy haha.... I was hoping about red colour but not appeared yet. The bonsai version is nicely getting purple :) Not much to say anyways just need to wait :) Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Die Woche über haben sich die Blüten weiter entwickelt. Die Trichome wurden mehr und man fängt an erste Terpene zu riechen. Wir haben Donnerstag (BT 21) stark entlaubt und schauen jetzt wie die Pflanzen wachsen. Wir gießen weiterhin durchschnittlich alle 4 Tage 1,5 L

D22: Added the nutrients solution. Like 100 ml per plant. D23: Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plant. No water today. D24: Added the nutrients solution. Like 100 ml per plant. D25: Spreayed potasium soap for the last time. No water today. D26: Added water with nutrients (forgot to make photos) D27: Added water with nutrients D28: Added nothing today since I'm afraid I may be overwatering.

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A 💨 We Lost The Main Cola… But The Story Doesn't End Here Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I have a confession to make. 😂 Last week, I kind of missed the photos. And, unfortunately, there was a little more to that story than simply forgetting to take the camera out. Cash Express Pheno A was the girl who lost her main cola to bud rot. 💔🌸 There. I said it. And honestly, it was a pity. A really fucking big pity. But... things happen. And when they do? We deal with them. We remove what needs to be removed. We inspect what remains. We keep moving. And that's exactly what we've done. The affected main cola is gone. The remaining flowers are looking good. No signs of the same issue on the remaining parts that we're keeping. And most importantly... Cash Express Pheno A is still here. She's still growing. She's still evolving. She's still moving fast. And she's still got plenty of beautiful flowers left to show us. So yes... we lost the main cola. But we did not lose the plant. And we certainly aren't going to let one bad moment define the rest of her story. We've moved on. Now it's time to take care of what remains. And make it shine. 💚🚂🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 A Small Apology Before We Move Forward First of all... I'm sorry, girl. 😂💚 Missing the previous report and photographs wasn't exactly how I wanted this chapter to go. And then, on top of that, we had the issue with the main cola. Not exactly the perfect week. But this is also part of growing. Not every chapter is going to be perfect. Not every photograph is going to be perfect. Not every flower is going to make it all the way to the finish. Sometimes something happens. And when it does... we don't hide it. We document it. We learn from it. We deal with it. And we continue. For anyone who wants the full story of what happened, I explained the situation in the previous week's Cash Express Pheno B report. So if you're curious about the details, go have a look there. But for this diary... the important part is: We found the problem. We removed the affected main cola. We checked the remaining flowers. And now we're moving forward. No drama. No panic. Just another chapter in the adventure. ──────────────────────── 🚂 The Main Cola Is Gone — But She's Still Here Let's address the obvious first. Yes... we lost the main cola. 💔 And it was a beautiful one. That's what makes it hurt. 😂 When you've watched a plant develop for weeks, when you've seen a flower build itself up, when you've photographed it and followed its progression... losing part of it sucks. There's no better way to put it. But one flower doesn't define the entire plant. Cash Express Pheno A still has plenty of flowering sites. And those remaining flowers are what we're concentrating on now. We're not looking backward. We're looking forward. The affected part has been removed. The remaining plant is continuing to develop. And I'm very happy to see that the rest of her flowers are still looking beautiful. That's what matters now. So... goodbye, main cola. You were beautiful. 💔🌸 And now... let's see what the rest of this girl can do. ──────────────────────── 🌸 What Remains Is Still Beautiful And this is the part I really want to focus on this week. Because when you look at the photographs... you can see it. She's still beautiful. She's still flowering. She's still developing. She's still carrying plenty of character. And honestly? She's still Cash Express. 😂🚂💚 The remaining flowers are continuing to evolve quickly, just as we've been seeing from this phenotype throughout the run. She's still one of those girls that seems to change noticeably from week to week. The structure continues developing. The flowers continue maturing. And she's still giving us plenty to look at. So although we've lost one of the biggest pieces of the plant... we still have a lot of plant left. And I'm going to enjoy every bit of it. ──────────────────────── 💨 She's Still Moving Fast One thing hasn't changed. This girl is still moving. Fast. 😂🚂💨 Even after everything that happened, she's continuing to progress. She's not sitting there looking defeated. She's not stopping. She's continuing her flowering journey. And that's actually one of the things I appreciate most about plants. Something can go wrong... and they just keep going. They don't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They continue doing what plants do. Grow. Develop. Adapt. Finish their journey. And Cash Express Pheno A is doing exactly that. She's still evolving quickly. And now we're simply watching the remaining flowers become the main characters of this story. ──────────────────────── 🌿 One Problem Doesn't Change Her Personality Before the issue with the main cola, I already described this girl as one of the more unique plants in the room. And that hasn't changed. She's still not necessarily the classic "perfect-looking" plant. She's not the symmetrical princess. She's not the biggest. She's not the most glamorous. But she has character. And that's something you can't manufacture. 😂💚 She's interesting. She's individual. She's developing quickly. She's aromatic. And now she's also given us one of those unexpected chapters that becomes part of the story. That's the reality of a long grow. The plants don't always follow the script. And Cash Express definitely didn't. But that's okay. We're still here. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this experiment so interesting. The environment can be kept consistent. The plants can't. 😂 Every phenotype gets the same opportunity. And then... they decide what to do with it. Cash Express Pheno A has given us another reminder that every grow has its unexpected moments. But she's also showing us something else: The story doesn't stop just because one part of it changes. We adapt. We continue. And we keep documenting. ──────────────────────── 💡 Same Light. Same Room. Same Photons. The lighting environment remains unchanged. We're continuing with the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup, including the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this experiment. After adding the additional fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately: 🔌 ~59% from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Cash Express Pheno A continues growing underneath those photons. Same light. Same room. Same ecosystem. Different plant. Different response. That's one of the things I love most about this project. We don't need to give her a completely different environment to make her interesting. She's already interesting. She's doing that herself. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Still Have A Story To Tell The main cola may be gone... but the remaining flowers aren't finished. Not at all. They're still developing. They're still changing. They're still building their own little structures. And when I look at them, I don't see a plant that has reached the end of her story. I see a plant that has had a setback... and is continuing anyway. That's a very different thing. So now my attention naturally shifts. Instead of admiring the main cola... we admire what remains. Instead of thinking about what we lost... we appreciate what we still have. And there is plenty here to appreciate. 🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 👃 And Yes... She's Still Making Herself Known Another thing that hasn't disappeared is her aroma. This girl was already starting to make herself known before. And she's still developing that side of her personality. The visual story is one thing. The aroma is another. And that's part of what makes following an individual phenotype so interesting. You can watch the structure. You can watch the flowers. You can watch the progression. And then suddenly... the plant starts speaking through another sense. 😂💨 Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. And I'm curious to see how that expression continues to evolve as the remaining flowers mature. ──────────────────────── ✂️ We Don't Need To Invent More Work And now? We're not going crazy. 😂✂️ The affected main cola is gone. The remaining flowers are being watched. The plant is still developing. The environment is stable. So we're not going to start randomly manipulating the plant just because something happened. The important intervention was already made. Now? Observe. Maintain. Document. Let her continue. That's it. Sometimes the best thing you can do after dealing with a problem is simply return to stability. And that's exactly where we're going. Back to normal. Back to observation. Back to letting the plant do her thing. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Room Is Stable — And That's Exactly What We Want The rest of the 8×8 continues under the same conditions. We're keeping the room stable. Same ecosystem. Same environmental strategy. Same lighting setup. Same nutritional program. Same irrigation philosophy. And honestly? The room is looking good. The plants are alive. They're developing. They're progressing. They're showing their individual personalities. And that stability is exactly what we want right now. We're not changing things unnecessarily. We're not chasing the calendar. We're not trying to make every phenotype finish at the same time. We're watching them. And we're responding when something actually requires a response. Cash Express required one. We responded. Now we move forward. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Same Feeding — Same Opportunity The nutritional program remains unchanged for the room. 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength remains around: ⚡ EC ~2.05 mS/cm And we're continuing with the same overall irrigation strategy. No special recipe for Cash Express. No special nutritional treatment. Same opportunity. Same room. Same ecosystem. And she's responding in her own way. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues under the same stable conditions used across this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. And Cash Express Pheno A is continuing her journey with one less major cola than she started this chapter with. But still plenty of story left. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Also Part Of The Experiment I think it's important to document the difficult moments too. It's easy to make a diary when everything looks perfect. Beautiful flowers. Perfect photographs. Amazing progress. Everything sparkling. But that's not reality. Reality is that sometimes you lose something. Sometimes a flower doesn't make it. Sometimes you have to change your plans. And sometimes you simply have to say: "Okay. That happened. Let's deal with it." 😂 That's what we've done here. And I think that's just as valuable to document as the beautiful parts. Because the 8×8 Adventure isn't a collection of perfect photographs. It's a real journey. And Cash Express Pheno A has now given us one of those chapters. ──────────────────────── 💚 We Move On So... enough about what we lost. Let's talk about what we still have. 💚🌸 We still have a beautiful plant. We still have developing flowers. We still have an interesting phenotype. We still have aroma. We still have plenty of flowering sites. We still have photographs to take. We still have weeks of watching ahead of us. And most importantly... she's still moving. Fast. 😂🚂💨 That's what I want to focus on. Not the missing cola. The flowers that remain. Not the setback. The progress. Not the disappointment. The next chapter. Because that's where we're going. Forward. ──────────────────────── 📸 Now We Photograph What Remains And looking at the photographs from this week... I'm happy we kept documenting her. Because she's still worth photographing. Very much so. The remaining flowers have their own beauty. The structure is still interesting. The plant still has plenty of personality. And now, perhaps more than ever, I want to document her properly. Because this is part of her story. Not the story we expected. But her story nonetheless. And when we look back at this diary later... we'll know exactly what happened. We'll remember the main cola. We'll remember losing it. And we'll remember that the rest of the plant kept going. That's what these photographs are for. ──────────────────────── 🚂 FINAL THOUGHTS — MAKE WHAT'S LEFT SHINE Week 13. And Cash Express Pheno A has had a rough little chapter. We missed the previous report. We lost the main cola. And yes... it was a pity. A big one. 💔🌸 But we've dealt with it. The affected part has been removed. The remaining flowers are showing no signs of the same issue. She's still developing. She's still moving quickly. She's still aromatic. She's still beautiful in her own unique way. And she's still very much part of this adventure. So I'm not going to sit here feeling sorry for what we lost. I'm going to look at what remains... and appreciate it. Because there's plenty here to appreciate. 🌸💚 The main cola may have left the story. But Cash Express Pheno A hasn't. She's still writing. And we're still reading. 😂🚂💨 So let's make her shine. Let's give the remaining flowers the spotlight. Let's appreciate every single one of them. Let's watch her continue to evolve. Let's keep the room stable. Let's keep observing. And let's see what this girl can still give us. Because if there's one thing this plant has already shown us... it's that she doesn't sit still for long. She's moving. She's evolving. She's doing her thing. And now... we're going to help her shine with what's left. 🚂🌸💚✨ Things happen. We move on. We take care of the plants. And we keep growing. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us keep the room consistent throughout this experiment. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these reports on GrowDiaries. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for the questions. Thank you for the support. And thank you for following even when the story isn't perfect. Because that's what makes these diaries real. Sometimes we celebrate. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we say: "Fuck... we lost that one." 😂 And then we clean up, we move forward, and we keep documenting. Cash Express Pheno A has lost her main cola. But she has not lost her story. She's still growing. Still developing. Still moving fast. Still making herself known. And still deserving of the spotlight. So let's give it to her. 🚂🌸💨💚 Keep shining, Cash Express. The main cola may be gone... but the rest of you still have plenty to say. And we're listening. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🚂

Week 5 We done some LST on these this week and some light defoliation to clear the middle out to get some more light and air. I also did some leaf tucking if I could to avoid to much defoliation. put some more tie downs on new nodes really firing with bud sites now 💪 I will soon be moving these into the flowering tent 🚀 with the sf4000 and start to add Green Sensation to our feeds 👽👽👽 waiting on some buds to dry in the 3x3 then I can free up some space and begin flower. Going to be slowly lowering the humidity down this week until we at 50% - 55% Flower time 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Running out of space with the GSC 1 of the GSC is looking great with some really nice flowers coming along the other 2 seem to have a-lot less bulk in the flowers and seem to be stretching a fair amount. I have had to do some super cropping to keep the top of the flowers from getting too close to the light. Had a problem with the nutrient tank filter getting clogged and al, the auto pots drying out! One of the plants had started to wilt. Ended up taking the reservoir out and cleaning it before adding fresh nutes. Have been using professors gold terpintine for flower but have had this problem before the additive ends up causing build up of growth in the tank and this build up blocks the hoses. For now have stopped using and just using: GT FLOWER FOR COCO A & B GT FLUVAIC ACID GT CAL MAG GT POTASSIUM ADDITIVE PPM at around 600 down from 800 as I was getting a bit of tip burn on the shade leaves. Not really happy with how a couple of the plants are progressing, the buds seem way undersized for week 5 but will carry on

6 1/2 weeks into flower and they are packing on weight big time now. Giving them bloom booster and molasses and water. Will stop the bloom booster this weekend since I want them to have plenty of time to flush out. The girls are drinking a phenomenal amount at the moment, they are drinking every drop I'm giving them. Getting a bit of yellowing on the lower leaves BUT that is to be expected this close to harvest. Other than that they are very healthy. Uploaded a short video showing some of the ladies. This has been without a doubt the EASIEST grow I have ever done and it looks like the yield will be quite respectable.

Nothing new to report with sticky broccoli. She got a topping and a light defoliation of some of the megs fan leaves so she could clear lateral growth. Growth is steady and with these established pots there isn't much need for intervention by me while in veg. Flipped to flower 2/17. Here we go for flower!

saw some yellowing, tended to it with some terp tea, and put some potassium and magnesium in the res.
