Hey guys! Another update! 💪 I bought a Cal-Max from Grotek 👌 From the photos I shared it seems Matcha and Pistachio are suffering from some Magnesium deficiency (I hope that's the issue 😰) and this should help with the issue. I foliar spayed both of my babies and then I added the recommended dosage to all the waterings I made during the week. Gladly the first changes were clear after 48 hours of spraying them and I'll probably see the rest of the changes next week (or the week after) 😱 Besides that Matcha is still super small compared to Pistachio and I wonder what might be the issue. Maybe I'm watering her a bit too much or the heat is too high and it's not letting her take the proper nutrients? Maybe her roots are still small (for some reason I think this might be the main issue) or the damage she suffered from the lack of magnesium was way too severe and can't be fixed? No idea but she seems to be recovering so I'll let her continue that way for a bit more (and let her grow some more roots) before switching into flower. Oh! And I switched places between her and Pistachio, in case the lights were a bit too strong for my baby! As for Pistachio, she's growing strong so I suspect she'll be a huge plant during the stretch phase 😃(you can only dream). She's also showing some chlorosis but absolutely nothing compared to Matcha. I also defoliated both of my plants, they were getting bushy and I want all the "new" colas to receive as much light as poooooosible! Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you'll all enjoy the photos and video! See you all in the next update! 👍

This girl is by far the healthiest plant I have ever had at this stage. By healthy I mean she is the biggest, the greenest, and has the thinckest stem I have grown yet. Today is day 28 from seed and she is as thick as a marker lol. I grow in small 5 gallon pots. My stem is normally as round as a milk jug cap. I feel like this could do better.

***UPDATE*** ITS CHOPPIN DAY!! Late in day 87 I was going for macros. Made the decision while seeing MANY yellow trichomes that Wedding Glue from FastBuds is DONE! Attaching pics to the beginning of the weeks uploads. She sure turned out pretty asf didn't she? Lights out occurs in like 30min, and I'm going to work through the dark period stripping the large fans off. Utilizing my green Christmas lights hung up above lol. May turn light on low for a quick pic before chopping/hanging. Next update will be harvest! 2 Girls 1 Cup week 12? Hopefully the finish is this week... My my my how WG has fattened up the last 2 weeks. Trying to get some good macros since it's too hard to hold the scope to my phone and focus everything. Probably better for the existing trics too since they're not being touched. Day 84- these trics are taking their sweet time to ripen. Was considering picking up some GHE Ripen to speed the process up.. especially because a local shop is closing and everything is 40% off. Let's keep it simple this run. I'll get some additives for the next grow to enhance GHE's perfected formulas of macro/micros in the Flora series. An update on the "sample" I clipped from WG the other day. It's not dried/cured proper. Actually been sitting in a brown bag with the outlet of the tent blowing on it lol. Can taste some vanilla in it through the chlorophyll and shit still in the flowers. VERY heady effect that hits me like a friggin wave. Creativity and energy uplifted for sure. Looking for the bodies in there too to help with pain, so we shall wait even longer for those ambers to show. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 85- stepped up our hole a size or two.. lol. May bring home the step bit to drill again before a dark period at the end. The girls STINK! Getting VERY close to chopping day. Ooooh I can't wait (but I gotta). Headies lasting between 2-3hrs which is great. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 86- yellowing more as the days pass. no more ambers showing yet.. wasn't able to score anything good from the local shop today since it was almost empty already. Picked up a grove bag to give it a whirl with curing. May put some in glass to compare side by side with the bags. Figured I'd give their roots an ice bath since I've done other bro science. Shit, GK still hasn't popped a nanner after all I've put her through 🤣. *edit* added some late day WG only pics to show her fall colors coming in. Moving in fast now. Gotta get back up in WG's guts now and scope the progress daily. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== Day 87- the smell in the tent has become so powerful, I next day air'd a new charcoal filter 🤣. This one was reaching the end of its lifespan anyway.. but oh boy has the aroma increased. May be starting the 48hr lights out within the next day or two from the smells of it. ==================================================== ========================== ========================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. If it's your first time, check previous weeks for these girls progress throughout their lives. days 27-70 timelapse @ https://youtu.be/8JdUkR36Wfc

Can anyone help my lower leaves are turning yellow and drying up

Die wahrscheinlich letzte Woche der 1. Lady beginnt. Die beiden anderen Ladys hängen deutlich zurück aber ich schenke ihnen gerne die zusätzliche Zeit und Pflege. Gedüngt wurde ganz normal nach schema, zusätzlich bekommt meine calmag Lady nun das 2. Mal calmag vielleicht fängt sie sich auch noch. Samstag 15.06.24 Die erste Lady wurde heute geerntet und zum trocknen in den dafür vorbereiten Schrank gehangen, ich entscheide mich hier für die Dry Trim Methode weshalb ich sie noch nicht weiter verarbeitet habe.

Hi, topman! This report is about bending the "@" plant into a shape. A week has passed since the transplant and during this time a 35% flush was carried out, form laying, burr removal, but nothing was done to add stress! Look & rejoice!

Big thanks to the homie @wicked_stix for providing me with this Masterpiece! One plant was grown in coco coir drain to waste with cropsalts other DWC also with Cropsalts. Hydro was neglected but ran itself for 3 weeks as a stand alone system. All in all got over 380gr running the light at 280w for the hydro setup full of frosty the ⛄️ type buds with tremendous sugary flavours ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Hey bin mal gespannt obwohl ich nicht all zu viel erwarte der Wuchs bis jetz hält sich in Grenzen aber ich denke durch den Kleinen Topf ist das Wuchs Wachstum stark eingeschränkt Aber mal sehen ich lass mich überraschen 😂

She has returned with two 2 tops Lets hope she gives me sativa dreams ! 💤 😴 She is so strong 💪 and stable im impressed with Kannabia Genetics !

Massive growth and recovery from the calcium deficiency. I really didn't water consistent my enough for the soil grow and it showed compared to my hydro.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 8 | Small Plant, Serious Flower Power Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project brings twelve different cultivars together under the same environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. By keeping the growing conditions as consistent as possible, we give genetics the opportunity to become the real variable. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so fascinating. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients and the same schedule, they can tell completely different stories. Cash Express Pheno A has certainly chosen her own story. Growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED and with her roots connected to the AutoPot system, she has always been one of the smaller plants in the room. But as we've already learned... Small doesn't mean insignificant. In fact, this week she's looking more and more like a little powerhouse preparing to show us exactly what she can do. 🌱 A Quick Recap — How Did We Get Here? The 8×8 Adventure is based around a simple but fascinating concept: twelve different cultivars growing together, under essentially the same conditions, from seed. There are no separate environments designed to favour one particular genetic. They're all sharing the same room. The same light cycle. The same irrigation philosophy. The same nutrient programme. And that's where the fun begins. Cash Express Pheno A started her life under a 12/12-from-seed approach. For anyone new to the diary, this means she wasn't given a traditional vegetative period followed by a later switch to flowering. Instead, she has experienced a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle from the beginning. This allows us to observe how different genetics naturally develop when they're given a limited photoperiod rather than an extended vegetative stage. And Cash Express has responded by becoming a compact, beautifully structured plant. She may not have the height of some of her sisters... …but she has developed plenty of character. 🌸 Week 8 — She's Ready to Perform This week, the biggest impression comes from one thing: She looks lush. The foliage is carrying a beautiful, rich green, and the overall plant looks incredibly alive. There are some differences visible in individual leaves, including some colour variation, but when I step back and look at the plant as a whole, I'm extremely happy with what I'm seeing. The flowers are developing. The leaves are supporting that development. The plant looks vigorous. And most importantly, she looks like a plant that is comfortable with where she is right now. The flowering sites are becoming increasingly defined, and those long white pistils are absolutely everywhere. They're reaching outward from the flowers like tiny fireworks. And behind them, we're beginning to see the real structure of the buds developing. This is the stage where looking at the plant every few days becomes incredibly rewarding. Because suddenly... what started as little white hairs is becoming a flower. ? The White Hairs Are Taking Over One of my favourite things about photographing Cash Express this week has been watching the pistils. There are so many of them. The flowers are throwing out fresh white hairs in every direction, and they're becoming increasingly prominent against the darker foliage. When you look closely, you can also see the beginning of resin development around the sugar leaves. It's still early enough that the flowers have plenty of work ahead of them, but we're definitely past the stage of wondering whether she's going to flower. She's flowering. And she's doing it with confidence. The coming weeks should be particularly interesting because the plant now has the basic flower structure established. From here, the question becomes: How much weight and density can this little lady put behind those flowers? That's what I'm watching. 💚 Small Plant… Lush Plant I know I've said it before, but this phenotype keeps proving the point. Height doesn't tell the whole story. At around 72 cm, Cash Express Pheno A remains one of the more compact plants in the 8×8 Adventure. But visually? She carries herself beautifully. Her branches have created a very manageable structure, and the flowering sites are distributed throughout the plant in a way that makes her extremely interesting to photograph. She's not trying to dominate the room. She's simply doing her thing. And right now, she's doing it very well. There's something particularly satisfying about seeing a smaller plant suddenly become so full of life. She's compact. She's green. She's flowering. And she's looking hungry enough to tell me: "Don't you dare slow me down now." 😂 ⚗️ Feeding — When the Plants Ask, We Listen This week we made another small increase to the nutrient programme. And yes... We're already above the manufacturer's chart in some aspects of the feeding schedule. Normally, charts are an excellent starting point. But plants don't read charts. Plants tell us what they need. And these girls have been asking for more. So we're responding. For Cash Express Pheno A, this week's feeding included: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment products as required Compared with last week, Terra Bloom has been increased slightly, from 2 ml/L to 2.2 ml/L. It's not a dramatic jump. It's a controlled adjustment based on what we're seeing across the room. And Cash Express certainly doesn't look like she's complaining. Quite the opposite. She looks lush, healthy and ready to put that nutrition to work. The AutoPot system continues allowing the plants to take up solution according to their own demand, with approximately 1.2 litres per plant per 24 hours recorded this week. So, as always, we're watching the plants rather than blindly chasing numbers. If they ask... We listen. ? Those Purple Stems — Yes, They're There Now let's talk about something visible in the photographs. Some of the petioles and stems are showing a noticeable reddish/purple coloration. It's definitely there. And whenever I see something like this, I prefer to document it rather than simply ignore it. At the same time, I don't want to automatically label every purple stem as a deficiency or a problem. Genetics can influence pigmentation significantly, and environmental factors can contribute as well. What matters to me is the whole-plant picture. And that picture currently looks very positive. The foliage is lush. The flowers are developing strongly. The plant is producing plenty of fresh pistils. The flowers are showing resin development. There isn't a widespread pattern across the plant that makes me think she's struggling. So for now, I'm doing what I always prefer to do: Observe rather than panic. The purple coloration is part of the story, so we'll keep watching it. If the plant continues looking this happy, producing flowers and maintaining healthy new growth, I'm certainly not going to start changing things simply because one characteristic caught my eye. Sometimes the plant is simply showing us who she is. And Cash Express may just have a little purple personality hiding underneath all that green. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a stable environment for all twelve plants to develop together. This week's recorded conditions were: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6 range recorded ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 Plant height: 72 cm 💧 Water consumption: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h Once again, consistency is allowing us to compare these plants in a very interesting way. They're living the same life... …but they're certainly not telling the same story. 🌿 No Rush — Just Reading the Room One thing I really enjoy about this project is that we're not forcing every plant into exactly the same schedule just because a calendar says it's time. Training, cleaning and defoliation are tools. They're not appointments. If a particular plant needs attention because its structure is becoming too dense, we respond. If another plant is perfectly balanced and doesn't need anything... we leave her alone. That's the philosophy I've been following throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The room itself tells us when intervention makes sense. And Cash Express Pheno A continues to show a structure that doesn't need us to overcomplicate things. She has already received her LST during the earlier stages of the grow, which helped create the framework we're now watching develop. At this stage, the priority is increasingly simple: let the flowers develop. 📸 Behind the Lens This week might be one of my favourite photographic updates for Cash Express so far. The macro photographs really show the contrast between her darker foliage and those bright, almost luminous pistils. The flowers are beginning to look increasingly complex. You can see the developing sugar leaves. You can see the resin beginning to build. You can see the individual flower structures becoming more defined. And then there are those beautiful reddish tones running through some of the stems and petioles. Photography has a funny way of making you notice things you might otherwise overlook. You can stand in front of the plant and simply think: "Wow, she's looking good." Then you put the macro lens on... …and suddenly you're discovering an entire little world. That's one of my favourite parts of this project. We're not just growing these plants. We're documenting them. 🔮 Looking Ahead — What I Expect… and What I Don't The next week should be particularly interesting. 🌸 What I expect: I expect the flowering sites to continue swelling and becoming more defined. I expect the white pistils to remain extremely prominent while the flowers continue building structure. I expect resin production to become increasingly visible. And I expect this compact little plant to continue proving that she doesn't need much height to make an impression. 🌱 What I don't expect: I don't expect her to suddenly become the tallest plant in the room. That's simply not her personality. I don't expect us to force her into a particular shape just because another phenotype behaves differently. And I don't expect us to make unnecessary changes while she's telling us that she's happy. For now, the plan is simple: keep watching, keep feeding according to her response, keep the environment stable, and let Cash Express do what Cash Express does. She's earned the opportunity to show us what she's capable of. And I'm very curious to find out. 🚂 Small Plant. Big Personality. Eight weeks from seed. Around 72 centimetres tall. Surrounded by plants that could easily make her look small. And yet, when I put the camera in front of her... she fills the frame. That's the beauty of genetics. One plant wants to grow tall. Another wants to grow wide. Another wants to stretch. Another wants to stay compact and quietly build flowers. Cash Express Pheno A? She's chosen the last option. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. She's lush. She's beautiful. She's producing flowers everywhere. And she's starting to look like she's getting ready to show us what that little frame can really produce. The next few weeks should be fun. 🚂🌸 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following along with the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues reminding me why I love growing different genetics side by side. Twelve plants. One environment. One methodology. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share knowledge and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can do. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting these plants throughout their journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting powering this adventure from seed through flowering. Thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system that allows these plants to regulate their own demand and drink when they need it. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light into the lower areas of the plants. And finally, thank you. To everyone reading, commenting, following, sharing and simply enjoying this adventure with me — you're part of what makes documenting every week so much fun. Cash Express Pheno A may be one of the smaller girls in the room... …but she's certainly making herself heard. Growers Love, my friends. I'll see you next week as this little powerhouse continues writing her own story. 💚🚂🌱

Looking very good so far, looks like there are no weird genetic problems or anything like that on this seed of hard diesel she's 4 days younger than her sister #2 however she's gonma catch up pretty fast I think, let's see what we can do!! 👨‍🌾💚❤️

Week 12 (3-10 to 9-10) 3-10 Temperature: 27.5 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 86% (highest) 60% (lowest) Watering: 1200 ml. PH 6.4 EC: 1.8 (with Hybrids & PK+) 4-10 Temperature: 27.3 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 72% (highest) 55% (lowest) Watering: None. 5-10 Temperature: 25.8 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 80% (highest) 82% (lowest) Watering: 700 ml. PH 6.5 EC: 0.6 (without Hybrids & PK+) Last night i accidentally let the light at 20% strength, so the whole day the light was on the lowest wattage. 6-10 Temperature: 28.6 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 81% (highest) 56% (lowest) Watering: 1000 ml. PH 6.5 EC: 0.6 (without Hybrids & PK+) 7-10 Watering: None. 8-10 Temperature: 27.4 degrees (lights on) 18.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 85% (highest) 53% (lowest) Watering: 1300 ml. PH 6.4 EC: 0.6 (without Hybrids & PK+) 9-10 Temperature: 27.9 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 80% (highest) 52% (lowest) Watering: 1000 ml. PH 6.4 EC: 0.6 (without Hybrids & PK+)

Safe to say we're heading into flower. I'm pretty close to full strength on the nutrients at this point. Still defoliating and filling in the screen. Plant on the right is slightly behind as far as kicking into flower. Some yellowing browning just starting a tips. I'll change out the water tomorrow (on day 49). Averaging water changes every 12 days. Day 49: Did not change water today, will on day 52 or 53 instead. Decided it could just be the light being too close. Moved it up and did a little lst above the screen. All done removing branches and leaves. Great end to the first week of flower.

Bud's everywhere... Nearly ready to begin flush.... 1-2 More feeds of nutrients then begin flush. Day 6 - defoliation on the lower leaves and slot of bending to expose the lower Bud's.. I HATE SMALL NUGS !!!!!! Pointles....so bend or lollipop

Water rainwater + epsom salt and diluted nutrients with more total water of 180 ppm ph 6.2 temperature of the 20 ° solution, gradually using more water due to the 10% runoff temperature, slightly relieving the roots without much removal, sprayed with water without ppm complement due to perspiration and water loss when it's hot, more soil around the stem "I made some abrasions around the stem that is now covered with soil in order to create more quick roots, added more mycorrhizae around to heal and root and stretch with mycorrhizae. Always covered with coconut fiber so it doesn't dry quickly without absorbing enough, I really need one more exhaust fan to pull in fresh cold / fresh air from the outside in, and limit one little use of fans since air conditioning is not part of my plans at the moment.

They are moving quickly these days! I’m using FF nutrients, then just water, then a mixture of molasses, recharge, and epsom salt, and then water again. Not sure if I’m overdoing it but they seem happy.

Looking pretty good. She’s a little light in color. I may up her nutes a bit. Buds are already a nice size. She’s a little slower in developing than the last LCC I grew. But I have her in a tent by herself and that light is only 200 watts. I’d like to get her in the bigger tent but my Pound Cake has taken over most of the space.
