🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 10 | Her Own Kind of Shine ❄️🌸✨ Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this girl... She's still shining. Not because she's trying to be like anybody else. Not because she's following some predetermined script. But because Chem Brûlée Pheno A has developed a personality all of her own. She's unique. She's distinctive. And the further we move into flower, the more that individuality becomes obvious. Every week, I look at her and think: "Okay... let's see where you're going next." And honestly? I have no idea exactly where she's going. But I'm really enjoying the journey. So this week, we're keeping things simple. We're watching. We're supporting. We're keeping the environment as stable as possible. We're letting the LEDs keep throwing photons into the jungle. And most importantly... We're giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. 🍮❄️🌸 🌱 Week 10 – Still Writing Her Own Story Chem Brûlée Pheno A is sitting at approximately 126 cm, and by now her overall character is pretty unmistakable. She's not the plant that makes you stop because she's enormous. She's not trying to win some imaginary height competition. She's simply developed into her own version of Chem Brûlée. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so interesting. You start with a genetic name. Then you grow the plant. And eventually, the plant starts telling you what that name means in her particular case. This girl has definitely introduced herself. She's got her own structure. Her own flower formation. Her own expression. Her own rhythm. And I like it. Very much. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Getting More Beautiful The biggest change this week is, once again, happening where it matters most: the flowers. They're becoming more established. More defined. More substantial. And those beautiful white hairs continue standing proudly out from the developing buds. The photographs really capture that progression. We're no longer looking at tiny early flowering sites. We're watching proper flower structures develop throughout the plant. And there's something really satisfying about seeing those individual flowers slowly becoming more recognizable week after week. They're still developing. There's still plenty of time for them to change. But the direction is beautiful. And I genuinely want to see where she takes them. 🌸?❄️ ❄️ And Yes... She's Still Bringing the Frost The frost is also becoming increasingly noticeable. That developing resin coverage gives the flowers another layer of character, especially when you get the camera close. This is where photography becomes such a fantastic part of the grow. From across the room, you see: Chem Brûlée. Through the macro lens, you see: Chem Brûlée Pheno A. The little details start appearing. The trichome-covered surfaces. The pistils. The sugar leaves. The developing flower structure. Suddenly, the phenotype becomes much more than a plant in a pot. She becomes a collection of tiny details that you can follow from week to week. And that's exactly what I love about this diary. 📸❄️ 💡 Let's Talk About Photons Again Because this week, just like throughout the other individual diaries, I want to give some attention to something that we can't actually see... the photons. We see the LEDs. We see the flowers. We see the leaves. But we don't see the photons travelling between them. And yet those photons are one of the fundamental pieces of this entire story. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are essentially creating our artificial sun. Photons are being emitted from the fixtures and travelling into the canopy. The leaves intercept that light. Photosynthesis turns captured light energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the plant's ongoing growth and development. So when I look at Chem Brûlée's beautiful green foliage and developing flowers, I'm also looking at the visible result of an enormous amount of invisible work happening every day. That's pretty damn cool. 💡🌿 ☀️ The Artificial Sun Above Her The Future of Grow lighting is doing something particularly interesting in this room because we're not growing just one plant. We're growing twelve different genetic expressions under the same general artificial sun. The photons don't care which cultivar they're reaching. They simply arrive. Then the genetics respond. And that's where the experiment becomes fascinating. One plant becomes compact. Another stretches. One develops a particular flower structure. Another produces something completely different. One phenotype takes her time. Another seems to have somewhere very important to be. 😂 Same room. Same general lighting philosophy. Different genetic responses. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's giving us her answer. And I really like what I'm seeing. 💡 Photons Are Part of the Whole Environment And I don't look at light as something that exists separately from the rest of the room. The photons interact with everything. More available light influences plant demand. Plant demand influences water use and nutrient uptake. Light contributes to the energy balance of the canopy. The canopy influences temperature and humidity around the foliage. And the structure of the plant determines how efficiently that light can move through it. It's all connected. That's why I love the idea of thinking about the grow as a complete system rather than a collection of individual numbers. Light. Temperature. Humidity. CO₂. Water. Nutrition. Root-zone conditions. Plant structure. Everything talks to everything else. And the photons are right in the middle of that conversation. 💡🌿🌸 🌿 She's Becoming More Herself Every Week This is probably my favourite thing about this phenotype right now. She's becoming more recognizable. Not necessarily because she's changing dramatically from one week to the next. But because the small characteristics are becoming stronger. Her flower structure. Her pistils. Her resin. Her architecture. Her overall expression. It's like watching a photograph slowly come into focus. At the beginning of the grow, there were possibilities. Now? We're getting an increasingly clear picture of who she is. And she's definitely unique. That's what I wanted from this project. Not twelve identical plants. I wanted to see what happens when different genetics and phenotypes are given the same opportunity. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is giving us a very interesting answer. 🌡️ Keeping the Room Steady The room remains broadly consistent this week. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~126 cm Summer is still summer, of course. 😂☀️ Keeping temperatures perfectly locked isn't always realistic when the outside world is doing its own thing. So the goal isn't obsessing over every tiny movement. It's maintaining a stable enough environment that the plants can continue doing their work without unnecessary stress. And right now? Chem Brûlée appears perfectly happy to keep working. ⚗️ Nutrition – Consistency Wins Again We're also keeping the feeding strategy consistent. Current nutrition remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L With pH adjustment as required. Current solution is approximately: pH 6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And again... there's no reason to change something simply because another week has passed. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's maintaining that beautiful foliage. So we'll continue observing rather than constantly intervening. Sometimes consistency is the most useful thing a grower can provide. 💨 Let the Canopy Breathe As flowering continues, we're naturally paying attention to canopy density and airflow. The plant has plenty of foliage, but we're not interested in removing leaves simply because they're there. Healthy leaves are working. They're capturing photons. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're part of the plant's engine. So any canopy management is about purpose. If something becomes unnecessarily crowded, we'll look at it. If something is blocking an important area, we'll consider it. But otherwise? Let her work. The objective isn't to create the emptiest plant possible. It's to create a healthy, functional canopy where light, air and plant structure can work together. 📸 Behind the Lens And once again... Chem Brûlée Pheno A is making the camera very happy. 😂📸 The close-ups are becoming increasingly rewarding. Those white hairs are beautiful. The flower formation is becoming more obvious. The resin coverage is developing. And the structure of the plant is becoming easier to appreciate. Then you step back... and you see the whole girl. That's the magic of documenting a plant over time. One photograph shows a moment. Ten weeks of photographs show a story. And hers is becoming a very interesting one. 🍮 Unique Is the Word If I had to choose one word for Chem Brûlée Pheno A this week? Unique. She's not trying to fit a template. She's not trying to look like another phenotype. She's not trying to follow somebody else's timeline. She's simply expressing herself. And I really like that. Because when you have twelve plants in the same room, you quickly learn that there isn't one single definition of "beautiful." There's tall. There's short. There's compact. There's stretched. There's dense. There's open. There's fast. There's slow. And then there are plants like this one... where you stop comparing entirely. You simply look at her and say: "That's you." And I think that's where Chem Brûlée Pheno A is now. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Where Are You Going, Girl? And now I'm genuinely curious. Where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much more will the resin build? How will the structure change as the flowers continue to mature? How will her final expression compare with what we imagined back when she was just a small plant? I don't know yet. And that's the fun part. We're not at the end of the story. We're somewhere in the middle... watching the next chapter unfold. So for now, I'm looking for: 🌸 Continued flower development ? Further pistil development ❄️ Increasing resin coverage 🌿 Healthy foliage 💡 Efficient use of the available photons 💨 Good airflow through the canopy 📈 Increasing flower definition and density And then? We'll see. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Chem Brûlée Pheno A is becoming one of those plants where I don't really want to predict too much. I want to watch. Because she's already shown us that she's different. She's unique. She's developing beautifully. Her flowers are taking shape. Those white hairs are becoming one of her most recognizable features. The frost is building. The canopy is working. And above everything... she's becoming herself. That's what I love about this project. We provide the environment. We provide the water. We provide the nutrition. We provide the artificial sun. We fill the room with photons. And then the plant takes all of that... and writes her own story. Chem Brûlée Pheno A is writing hers in a language I really like. 🍮🌸❄️ So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's not try to make her something else. Let's simply give her the conditions she needs... and let her shine. The Future of Grow LEDs keep sending those photons. The Lumiflora lighting keeps helping illuminate the deeper parts of the garden. The environment keeps doing its job. And Chem Brûlée? She's doing hers. Beautifully. Uniquely. And completely her own way. Let's see where she goes. 🍮❄️🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the place to document this journey and share the details of these twelve very different stories. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore just how much personality can exist within individual phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs that keep our artificial sun shining and those photons flying through the jungle. 💡☀️🌿 And a special thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy and making our relationship with photons a little more three-dimensional. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep track of the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to see how the girls are doing. This adventure wouldn't be the same without you. Twelve plants. One room. One environment. Millions upon millions of photons. And twelve completely different stories. This one belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno A. She's unique. She's beautiful. She's developing. And she's showing us more of herself every week. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep those photons flying. And most importantly... let's make this beautiful girl shine. 🍮🌸❄️💡🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸🍮❄️

I started feeding this girls two days ago and they look healthy except one of them, so if someome has seen this brown spots before and knows what this could be It would help a lot. It started yo happen before feeding her. Besides that, all going great, i am going to wait about a week more or so to start training them. It is starting to smell a little bit, seet/citric like tropical juice. I will keep you updated!

Day 14 of flower and all 4 plants have stretched over a foot in the last week. Should start putting all of their energy into flowering now. Looking really good so far. Really, really good.

I will try again, i know that is not the full potential of the Crtical +

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Khalifa Genetics, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Settimana incredibile nella quale la pianta ha sfogato tutto il colore viola, vedremo cosa verrà fuori!!! Ha un odore INCREDIBILE!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Everything is going smooth im trying to figure out a good nutrient mix for these ladies but all seems well I wish bountiful harvest to all Grow Diaries members and home cultivator

Posting the phenos when I do them

Looks a litle purple 💜

More Big changes this week! The flowers seem to be growing and getting bigger every day - I anxiously look in my tent each morning to see the new developments and there seems to be new changes each time - very cool to smoke a bowl in the morning and go check your garden! I was able to get some pretty cool photos with my macro lens - I found the ONLY flower site and first signs of red colors on one of the lower flowers of Cherry Gorilla #3 - I was able to get some pretty sweet pics of that. If you have a smart phone or tablet, definitely check out some of the macro shots and pinch/zoom in! I did add a fan on the bottom blowing underneath the canopy, in efforts of opening up the stomata of the ladies. We are finally having our first relatively hot week up here and it has absolutely tested my environment management skills - AC, Dehumidifier, Fans, Window open and close - this silly temp VPD and humidity control dance all day will not be too much longer, very much looking forward to the lower temperatures of the fall and winter months! When opening up the tent - you are blasted with a unfamiliar smell that can be explained as a sweet dank. I have touched some of the lower buds on each of the plants and WOW! - They are SWEET and Cherry flavor like crazy - The GMO is just as I expected - Garlic Gas Sweetness when touching her leaves - You are left with a very sticky goo on your finger that absolutely smells of its particular strain. Again - I could not be happier with the garden, and especially this being my first grow ever. Looking forward to more changes and absolutely some input from the Grow Diaries Community!

With the new netting up, I switched on the red lights along with the blues to help the plants stretch a bit to reach through the screen. It looks like it is taking effect, so late in the week (Friday) I trimmed some of the lower branches. Last week I FIMmed Zoe and Grace to give River a chance to catch up, and I expected 1 of 2 results: 1) FiMming will encourage growth in the cut plants causing them to grow taler than River, or 2) Things will stabilize and River will be on par with her siblings. But instead, I discovered a 3rd result: River is continuing to grow bigger and thicker each day and is even taller and fuller than her sisters. In addition though, the trimmed plants are developing nice, strong, sizable leaves, and most of the new growth is coming from down below, rather than near the top. Oh, and this week I added a new camera (Wyze) to the time lapses so I can take my pro camera out.

She is almost ready ;)

Results are starting to come in now, going to be Cake all the way to the end. Time to grab your popcorn and stay tuned in 🤡🎪 Short Phenos is Pure Michigan lean, obvious now with the purple starting to form from bud sites. Tall girl is Sugar Cane Pheno what a stake, huh!? GHL out 🚀

Another week has passed, and our beloved Cosmos F1 continues to amaze and astonish. It's as if the universe itself has bestowed upon her an extra dose of magic and wonder. I'm thrilled to share with you the latest chapter in our cosmic gardening adventure. As I gaze upon our beloved Cosmos F1, I'm filled with awe at her transformation. She has truly become a sight to behold, adorned with an abundance of frosty trichomes that shimmer like stars in the night sky. Her fruits have also become denser, promising a bountiful harvest that we can almost taste. While we estimate there's still another week until harvest, we'll remain patient and let her guide us to the perfect moment. In nurturing our cosmic beauty, I've continued to follow a simple yet effective regimen. I've provided her with pure water, ensuring she stays hydrated and refreshed. Additionally, I've incorporated Aptus Holland Enzym into her feeding routine, as I'm committed to preserving the vitality of the soil for future use. This approach not only benefits our current crop but also helps sustain the harmonious balance of life within our growing environment. Let's take a moment to appreciate the significance of this soil preservation. By cultivating in a manner that allows us to reuse the soil, we contribute to the sustainable practices of our gardening community. It's a small but meaningful step towards reducing waste and honoring the interconnectedness of our natural world. Last week, I mentioned my decision to defoliate our Cosmos F1. The room itself seemed to call for it, and our resilient plant welcomed the process with open arms, or rather, leaves. She embraced this adjustment with grace and resilience, showcasing her ability to adapt and thrive. I must say, defoliation has had a positive impact, allowing more light to penetrate her canopy and promoting healthy growth. As I reflect upon this journey, I can't help but express my gratitude to @James and to Royal Queen Seeds for bringing Cosmos F1 into my life. She truly embodies the essence of an all-in-one package, captivating both my imagination and senses. The experience of growing my first CBD strain has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I eagerly anticipate the cosmic culmination of our efforts. Together, we shall continue to revel in the wonders of the universe and allow its vastness to awaken our innate curiosity. Our Cosmos F1 is a testament to the marvels that can be achieved through patience, care, and a touch of cosmic inspiration. May our cosmic garden thrive and inspire others to embark on their own celestial journeys. Until next time, keep dreaming big and let the cosmos guide your green thumbs!

Buenas Genteee ! Saludos 🤝

Too much N is observed and also some heat as there is an heatwave again and inside the tent it was around 31 c°, i only used half dosis of iguana grow in a light mix and it still seems to be too much, the ppm was around 380 so not sure if its just heat stress, but i think they will be fine, i will just only give water the next week and apply some slow absorbing nutrients on the top of the soil, something like guanokalong or biobloom, im sure they will be fine 😁

I finally came back from vacation, and I already visited it:) it doesn't look bad, a few higher branches look like the leaves are on fire, a lot of leaves were cut off yesterday so that the plant would devote more energy to the flowers:) I think the flowers will burst and expand within a week:)
