2 Gran Jefa au 53รจme jour de floraison. 45G de bourgeons sec et effeuillรฉs J'ai commis des erreurs durant cette culture et je n'avais malheureusement pas la possibilitรฉ de m'en occuper comme je le voulais. Je vous suggรจre de ne pas reproduire mon dosage pour les nutriments(+serait mieux) et ma frรฉquences d'arrosage(moins d'eau et + souvent serait mieux). Je compte modifier certaines choses pour ma prochaines culture en espรฉrant amรฉliorer le rendement ๐Ÿ‘Œ Merci pour votre visite les amis ๐Ÿ’ช

Off to a good start 2/3 seeds popped but starting another one and hopefully itโ€™ll follow a week or so behind these two. Have a few purple gelatos flowering beside these a week or so out from harvest for and then Iโ€™ll be acclimating the room fully towards these two :)

Looking nice ๐Ÿ‘ I will transplant into 19 l this week Could this b3 the rarest of rare ? Is this the triauanna plant ? ๐ŸŒฑ OMG IT COULD BE THE ONE Before everyone tells me how wonderful theyโ€™ve had a triple Leaf before , that might be the case but youโ€™ve never had a triple Stem structure , EVERYONE has had the plant with three primary leaves , that grow funny , and end up normal , if thus is a true triuanna plant itโ€™s so strong ๐Ÿ’ช we will see Change reservoir Fridays 75 cm away from SF4000 30 cm away from SF1000

Getting quite cold on a night as well but they are still coming on strong. Had a day where it rained for like 18 hours straight ๐Ÿ˜‚ not good. Flowers are looking good though and are starting to kick out more THC. Can see my topped one having some really decent sized colas by the end. Keeping the nutes as they are now. Smell delicious ๐Ÿ˜„

Beginning of week... Well, I had to work late last night.. So, she wasn't watered for 24 hours.. I have been having to water/feed 2 to 3 times a day due to the media drying out.. The roots are insane in the cup.. Alot aLoT ALOT of fuckin roots.. This is my first cup grow that had this much roots.. So yeah, I could see her drinking like a mf.. Which she does.. She is happy and healthy... Besides the underwatering today.. I couldn't be more happy with the way this girl is growing. After 7 days of 12/12 and the tops are starting to form pistils.. Next week should be epic pistil growth by the way she's been growing so far.. Will update when she perks up from the underwatering.. Later that day.. Shit.. She perked up.. But not enough to show a full recovery pic.. I watered when I took the underwatered pic and before lights went out.. That was only about... 4 hours.. Usually the girlies perk up after about an hour or maybe 2.. I'm sure she will be fine in the AM.. Oh yeah I forgot to add in the veg cycle I was adding 1mL per L of water of Silica.. So that should have helped her build up a good immunity to my abuse.. This is the only hiccup so far in the grow.. No more stress! Will update on the issue in the AM with pics whether she fully recovered or not 24 hours after decovering she was underwatered... She perked back up.. I forgot to mention that I have been bending the tops to help the lower branches stretch up some.. I remember reading somewhere that is another form of LST, I believe. I'm pretty much just bending the top 2 - 3 nodes to point straight down.. Which is just enough to not snap the top completely off.. When I release the top she stays pointed pretty much at 90ยฐ away from the center of the plant.. A few more side branches have almost caught up to their main tops. I read that it kinda like tricks the plant into thinking she's topped 'in a way'.. I feel like it just stresses the branch upward from where the most bending is at.. And the side branches are not being stressed at all so they keep growing/stretching at normal speed, if not a little faster, while the top above the bend has been stressed and slows down, if not stops completely. Just my 2 cents on the dealio.. Just bend the main tops downward 180ยฐ from the center of the plant, so that when you release the tops, they stay bent over at 90ยฐ (or tied like LST) and let the bottom branches get all the light.. After a couple hours, the tops will have probably already pointed back upward..๐Ÿ˜ The capacitor on my home AC went out.. Temps in the tent got up to 90ยฐ F.. Leaves were pointing upward.. Praying.. But also canoeing.. Luckily I checked google and youtube on how to fix it.. I fixed it in under 15 mins.. Got the temps back down to normal and just made sure I kept her good and watered thru the heat stress. She is good now tho. The pics for today were 6 hours after seeing the heat stress. When I say LST this week.. Its just bending the tops down as I stated earlier in the grow.. I even removed the ties that I did have.. I shouldn't have done that because the tops kinda bunched together.. Oh well.. Live and learn.. Shouldn't create any issues.. Its easier to water now.. i was using a 1 fl oz turkey baster that worked very well.. But also time consuming.. Now I can just pour straight out of the powerade bottle I use to mix and store nutes and water.. I never keep anything mixed for more than 2 or 3 days at the most.. I have just ordered a bunch of hydroponic stuff.. And organic stuff... I can't run both at the same time.. I don't know which to try first.. Im thinking try hydro first.. Then organics because I think organics MAY be where I end up but still wanna try hydro to see how it ends up.. Hmmm... Went ahead and lollipopped her and bent the main tops down.. One branch kinda snapped so I think it was pretty much supercropped lol whoops.. Didnt break the skin tho.. I dont really care for defoliating alot.. But I always end up doing it anyway.. I need to stop lol

Pues la catastrofe pasรณ. Usรฉ una bomba de descarga (un spray de esos que apretad y tira todo) que en teoria es compatible con las plantas dentro.... Se lรญo, ya se ve en las fotos y video que muuuuuchas hojas han reaccionado, fitotoxicidad y capรบm. En fin, el cultivo lo voy a terminar, se salva mucha cosecha, en principio, pero eso. Fuera de aquello, la planta sigue tirando muucha resina, engordando el cogollo y oliendo muuuuy fuerte a gas y frutas.

After coming back from my vacation and expecting some very nice growth on the plants I'm very slightly disappointed. I've grown these plants before so I know the structure and how well they will swell in the latter part of their growth. However these things have begun to stunt. I did make a very slight change to my regiments swapping out H2O2 for bleach instead to sterilize. After reading numerous articles and people ranting and raving about it I decided I would try it for myself. It does appear that it does keep the roots very nice and white and the reservoir nice and clean tables without algae however it comes at the cost of quantity of the final product. I will not be using this going forward.

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 11 Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno B Hungry, Frosty & Still Asking for More ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here we go again... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B. If you've been following her diary, you already know this girl has never really been shy about expressing herself. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. And she's definitely not the quiet girl in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But this week, something interesting happened. The plant itself didn't need much from me. The room changed. The lighting system received a serious upgrade. The nutrition moved forward slightly. And then... we stepped back. Because at this stage of flowering, sometimes the most important thing we can do is provide what the plant needs and let her get on with the job. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B? She's doing exactly that. She's still shining. She's still hungry. She's still building. And she's still very much herself. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 11 โ€“ Let Her Keep Building Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B remains around 130 cm, maintaining that taller, more open architecture that has separated her from her sister throughout this journey. And honestly... I'm really enjoying watching what she's doing with that structure. The height isn't the story anymore. The flowers are. The plant has already established her architecture. The branches are positioned. The flowering sites are developing. And now we're watching that framework slowly become something much more substantial. This is the stage where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's using the environment. So... let her work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Yes... She's Still Hungry If there's one thing Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has made extremely clear throughout this grow, it's that she has an appetite. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ She seems to look at the environment we've created and say: "Okay... what else have you got?" And while we obviously don't make nutritional decisions based purely on appearance, her vigorous growth and continued flower development make her a very interesting phenotype to observe. She's using resources. She's producing new floral development. She's maintaining her foliage. She's processing all that available light. And she's continuing to build. So yes... our hungry girl is still hungry. And we're listening. We're not throwing everything at her. We're not changing things dramatically. We're simply making measured adjustments and watching the response. That's the approach. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Becoming Part of Her Personality One of the things becoming increasingly difficult to ignore is the resin. The frost is developing beautifully. When you look at the plant from a distance, you see her overall architecture. Move closer... and suddenly the story changes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Trichomes. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny details everywhere. That's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. The wide photograph tells you where the plant is. The macro photograph starts telling you what she's becoming. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is becoming increasingly interesting. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction? I really like it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Taking Shape The developing flowers continue becoming more defined. Those long white pistils are still reaching outward from the developing structures, giving the flowers that almost explosive appearance we've been watching. But underneath those hairs, something more substantial is happening. The buds are gaining structure. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And the plant is slowly moving away from: "I have flowering sites." toward: "I'm building flowers." That's the transition we're watching now. And because Pheno B has such a distinctive structure, it's particularly satisfying to see those flowers developing throughout her branches. The architecture is becoming the foundation. The flowers are becoming the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก The 8ร—8 Just Got A Serious Photon Upgrade Now let's talk about the biggest change this week. The plants themselves didn't need much intervention. But the lighting environment received a major upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the 8ร—8. And... yes. We definitely noticed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก The available light increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running everything harder, we reduced the output. We're currently running at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of available light. And I much prefer having that capacity available while controlling how much of it we're actually using. We're not chasing the biggest number possible. We're looking for the level that makes sense for the plants and the room. And right now... I'm very happy with where we've landed. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I particularly like about the new setup. We now have considerably more lighting capability. But we're not obligated to use all of it. We added the two additional fixtures. We measured the result. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Now we're around 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're also saving electricity compared with simply running all the fixtures at maximum output. That's a win for me. We're testing the fixtures properly. We're learning what they can do. We're finding a practical operating point. And we're not wasting power just because we have it available. That's exactly what I wanted from this lighting upgrade. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Future Of Grow โ€“ A Big Thank You A special shout-out this week to Future of Grow. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. And now we're putting them to work. Real room. Real flowering plants. Real measurements. Real adjustments. The additional fixtures gave us more lighting capability than we initially wanted, so we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And I'm genuinely happy with the balance. Strong lighting. More control. Lower power consumption than running everything flat out. And twelve different plants showing us how they respond. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these additional fixtures and see what they can do in a real grow environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Chem Brรปlรฉe Under The New Artificial Sun And here's where things get fascinating. The lighting environment has changed. But Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B hasn't suddenly become another plant. She's still tall. Still vigorous. Still hungry. Still beautifully structured. Still developing those flowers. Still frosting up. That's the beauty of genetics. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. But the plant decides what to do with them. The same light can fall on two phenotypes and produce two completely different stories. And Pheno B is continuing to write hers. She's taking that available energy and putting it toward what she does best: growing. Building. Flowering. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD Across The Upper Canopy The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're currently seeing is across the upper canopy. And with Pheno B, that distinction is particularly important. She's a tall plant. Her flowers and leaves occupy different levels. The top of the plant sees stronger direct illumination. The middle receives a different intensity. The inner areas receive less direct exposure. And lower parts of the structure naturally receive something different again. That's completely normal. A plant isn't a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional solar field. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ Our goal isn't to make every single flower receive identical light. It's to create a strong, useful lighting environment while allowing the plant to use the available photons effectively. And that's why the ability to control the output is so valuable. We can provide a very powerful artificial sun without necessarily running it at maximum intensity. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก Photons Are Only One Part Of The Equation I've talked about photons throughout this project because they're fundamental to what we're doing. But they're never the entire story. Light interacts with temperature. Temperature interacts with transpiration. Water availability affects nutrient movement. Root-zone conditions influence uptake. Nutrition supports development. COโ‚‚ influences photosynthetic potential. Plant structure determines how photons move through the canopy. Everything is connected. That's why I don't want to simply keep increasing light because we can. The objective is balance. Give the plant strong usable light. Keep the environment appropriate. Maintain irrigation. Support nutrition. Observe. And adjust when the plant actually tells us something needs changing. Right now? Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is telling us she's happy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ Nutrition โ€“ A Small Step Forward We've also made a small adjustment to the flowering nutrition this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€” 2.3 ml/L The rest of the recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ pH adjustment as required That small increase brought the EC up slightly. We're now around: โšก EC โ€” 2.14 mS/cm Again... small adjustment. Small movement. Measured response. We're not trying to reinvent the feeding programme. The plants are developing beautifully. So we're simply giving the flowering nutrition a small progression and watching how they respond. And our hungry girl? She's certainly giving us plenty to watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€“ Let The System Keep Doing Its Job The irrigation system remains consistent. We're currently around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature โ€” 25ยฐC ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate temperature โ€” 25ยฐC At this stage, consistency becomes increasingly important. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a reliable root environment. She needs water. She needs nutrition. She needs oxygen around the roots. And then... she needs time. So that's what we're giving her. The system continues doing its job in the background while we concentrate on observation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 11 โ€“ Current Environment The room is currently running approximately: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 26.5ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 6.02 โ€ข โšก EC: 2.14 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ? Pot Size: 15 L โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Plant Height: approximately 130 cm The environment remains broadly stable. Summer still likes to remind us that absolute precision isn't always possible. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ So the objective isn't chasing one perfect number. It's maintaining a stable overall environment. Avoiding unnecessary swings. Watching the plants. And responding when something actually needs attention. Right now... Pheno B looks very comfortable. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ No Need To Manufacture Work This is probably one of the biggest themes of this week's report. We're not doing much to the plants. And that's intentional. Earlier in the grow, we had plenty of work. Training. Structure. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. But now? The plant has done most of the building. She's created the architecture. She's established the flowering sites. She's developed the canopy. She's now putting her energy into the flowers. So I'm not going to manufacture work simply because I feel like I should be doing something. Healthy leaves are working. Flowers are developing. The plant is healthy. Air is moving. Light is available. Nutrition is consistent. Water is being delivered. Sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is leave a healthy plant alone. And our hungry girl seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ She's Putting Those Photons Somewhere This is what I really enjoy about looking at Pheno B now. We can actually see the result of all that invisible energy. The photons are arriving. The leaves are capturing light. The plant is processing that energy. And the visible result is right there: More flower structure. More definition. More resin. More development. The plant itself becomes the record of what's happening. And Pheno B is giving us a pretty impressive record. She's not sitting still. She's working. Hard. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Is Still Loving Her And once again... this girl is fun to photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The full-plant shots show that tall, open architecture. The middle-distance photographs show how the flowers are distributed through the branches. And then you get closer... and suddenly the frame becomes pistils, resin and flower structure. That's the beauty of photographing the same plant every week. You stop relying on memory. You can actually compare. Week after week. Flower after flower. Change after change. And when you look back at the early photographs? The difference is remarkable. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has travelled a long way. And she's not finished yet. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Same Environment. Completely Her Own Answer. This is still the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared general lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. And yet... twelve individual stories. Pheno B is another perfect example. She isn't Pheno A. She isn't one of the compact girls. She isn't one of the quieter phenotypes. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. And she's developing her flowers in her own particular way. The environment gives her the opportunity. The genetics decide how she uses it. And honestly? I really like her answer. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ The Hungry Girl Is Still Hungry If I had to choose one sentence for this week's report, it would probably be: "She's still asking for more." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ More photons. More time. More room to build. More opportunity to develop. And we're giving her those things in a controlled way. Not blindly. Not excessively. But consistently. The new lighting gives us additional capacity. The small nutritional increase gives the flowering programme a little more room. The irrigation keeps the root environment supplied. The environment remains stable. And then... we watch. That's the relationship between grower and plant at this stage. We provide. She responds. We observe. And when necessary... we adjust. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ The Lighting Experiment Continues The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have added another fascinating layer to this project. We now have substantially more lighting capability than before. But the interesting result isn't simply the maximum output. It's finding the useful operating point. The PPFD initially went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the fixtures to approximately 59% power from the plug. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're doing it while using less electricity than running the fixtures at maximum output. That's exactly the kind of practical information I wanted from this experiment. The hardware gives us the capability. The measurements tell us what is actually happening. And the plants tell us whether they like it. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B? So far... she's looking pretty happy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead From here, the plan remains beautifully simple. Keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep the environment stable. Keep irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep monitoring the lighting. And let Pheno B continue doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development โ„๏ธ Increasing resin coverage ๐ŸŒฟ Healthy foliage ๐Ÿ’ก Response to the stronger lighting environment ๐Ÿ’ง Water demand ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental stability ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Air movement through the canopy ๐Ÿ“ˆ Increasing flower density and definition No need to force the next chapter. She's already writing it. We'll simply be here to document it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ Final Thoughts โ€“ Let This Hungry Girl Shine Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B continues to be exactly what she has shown us throughout this journey. Tall. Vigorous. Hungry. Beautiful. Distinctive. And increasingly frosty. This week, we didn't need to do much to her. And that's a good thing. We added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We measured the increased light. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now sitting around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We increased Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 to 2.3 ml/L. The EC moved a little higher to approximately 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because she's doing her job. She's taking the photons. She's using the water. She's using the nutrition. She's building flowers. She's producing resin. She's becoming more and more herself. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. The goal isn't to make her behave like another phenotype. It's to give her the opportunity to show us what she can become. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is definitely taking that opportunity. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ So keep shining, hungry girl. Keep building. Keep frosting up. Keep showing us what your particular expression of Chem Brรปlรฉe can become. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these individual stories. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the journey and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the nutrition and growing programme throughout this adventure. And a massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8ร—8. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, reduce the output and find a practical operating point has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also keeping electricity consumption lower than simply running everything at full power. That's real-world testing. That's what I like. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy and giving us another perspective on three-dimensional lighting. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. You're all part of the adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is writing hers with an appetite. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ She's hungry. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's developing some gorgeous flowers. And she's still asking for more. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how far this hungry girl wants to take us. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ Until next week... Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฎ
