I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

Loving this week! A week of healing and growth. Topped some side branches on the og kush plant in middle. I’m still stumped if I should top again? Or just let me veg for a few more weeks??? Using water in between nutritions. Made a mistake with one of the plants tied down. I loved the other pot it was tied too and almost ripped the plant in half! Oh man!! But she’s tapped and I’m recovery now! Super excited for the growth and learning! Loving how things are! Happy growing friends “ been a couple days sense last updated og kush is doing better healing ❤️‍

😎😎👍

We are now on day 15 of veggie growing. The 5 that were first in the final pots have developed well. The other 4 that came later are a bit behind but that will definitely change. In 14 days the plants will be switched to flowering. I am excited.

7/21 Girls were trimmed of solar leaves, then switch fertilizer to flowering stage, flowers are appearing everywhere

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B 🔥 Claiming Her Place In The Tent Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is... Chem Brûlée Pheno B. And honestly? This girl is starting to claim her place. Not because we're pushing her. Not because we're constantly training her. Not because we're trying to make her look like something she's not. She's doing it herself. Week after week, she's becoming more defined. More recognizable. More beautiful. More... Chem Brûlée. 🍮🌸🔥 She's evolving. She's developing. She's filling her space. And we're basically doing what we should be doing at this stage: Watching. Paying attention. Providing water. Providing nutrition. Providing light. Keeping the environment stable. And then... getting the hell out of her way. 😂🌿 Because this girl clearly knows what she's doing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 12 – She's Claiming Her Space There's something different about looking at Pheno B now. Earlier in the grow, she was a plant we were trying to understand. We were watching her structure develop. Watching her stretch. Watching her flowering sites appear. Watching her decide how she wanted to occupy the room. Now? She's made her decision. 😂 This is her space. This is her structure. These are her flowers. This is her expression. And she's filling that space beautifully. She's not trying to become another phenotype. She's not trying to copy her sister. She's not following anyone else's schedule. She's simply continuing forward. And that's exactly what makes this part of the 8×8 Adventure so interesting. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Grower Is Doing Less – And Seeing More One of the funniest things about getting deeper into flowering is that the amount of physical work can actually decrease... while the amount of observation increases. Earlier in the grow, there was always something to do. Training. Tucking. Defoliating. Positioning. Moving branches. Opening spaces. Managing the canopy. Now? Not really. And that's intentional. I'm not looking at this plant thinking: "What can I do to her today?" I'm looking at her thinking: "What is she telling me?" There's a huge difference. And right now she's telling me: "I'm good." 😂💚 So I'm listening. She's receiving what she needs. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is being adjusted as we move toward the later stages. The lighting is providing plenty of photons. The environment remains stable. And the plant is doing the rest. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Chem Brûlée Is Becoming Herself This is probably my favourite part. At the beginning of a grow, a phenotype is a possibility. You have a seed. You have genetics. You have an idea of what might happen. Then the plant starts talking. And slowly... you start learning who she is. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has been particularly good at that. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. She's developing substantial flowering sites. She's producing frost. And she's got her own particular way of filling the room. At this point, I don't need to describe what she "might" become. I'm watching what she actually is becoming. And I have to say... I really like what I'm seeing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Doing The Talking Now The structure is already there. Now the flowers are taking over the conversation. And they're beautiful. The flowering sites continue developing. The buds are becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing gradually as the flowers mature. And the resin continues adding that beautiful frosty character we've been watching develop. This is one of those stages where the differences from one day to the next can be subtle. But compare photographs separated by a week... and suddenly the progression becomes obvious. More structure. More density. More maturity. More character. And that's exactly why these weekly reports exist. We're documenting the transition rather than simply showing the final result. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Identity The closer I get to this girl with the camera, the more she gives me. From a distance: Beautiful flowering plant. Move closer: Oh... there's the Chem Brûlée. 😂❄️📸 The resin is becoming increasingly visible. The sugar leaves are carrying that frosty appearance. The flowers are developing more texture. And those little details are what make phenotype documentation so much fun. Every plant can look beautiful from across the tent. But when you start looking closely... that's where the individuality appears. And Pheno B definitely has individuality. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Artificial Sun Keeps Flying The lighting setup remains the same as the upgraded 8×8 environment. We've now got the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures contributing to the room. And we're not running them flat out. We're controlling the output at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. That gives us around: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And that's plenty of photons flying around this jungle. 😂☀️🌿 But again, the important part isn't simply having more watts. It's having control. We increased the available lighting capability. We measured it. It went higher than we wanted. So we reduced the output. Now we have the headroom when we need it without unnecessarily pushing the equipment at maximum power. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number. ──────────────────────── ☀️ A Three-Dimensional Plant In A Three-Dimensional Light Field Pheno B is also a great example of why I don't think about the canopy as a flat surface. She's tall. Her flowers occupy different levels. Some are directly exposed to the upper light. Others sit deeper. Some leaves face the fixtures almost perfectly. Others naturally receive less direct illumination. That's simply how a plant works. She's three-dimensional. The light is three-dimensional. And the plant is constantly interpreting those photons according to where she has placed herself. We're providing the artificial sun. She's deciding what to do with it. And right now? She's doing quite a lot. 😂🌸 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Beginning The Gradual Transition We're also beginning to move the nutrition toward the later stage of flowering. And, as with the rest of the room, we've made a small reduction in the flowering base. Terra Bloom is now: 🌱 2.0 ml/L This has brought the EC down slightly to approximately: ⚡ EC — 2.05 mS/cm The important part here is that I'm not interested in going from the current mineral feeding programme to absolutely nothing overnight. I personally prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. Another adjustment when appropriate. Observe again. We're approaching the final part of the flowering cycle, but that doesn't mean the plant suddenly stops needing everything the next morning. She's still alive. She's still functioning. She's still developing. And Pheno B is still very much working. So we're transitioning gradually rather than slamming the brakes. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why I Prefer A Gradual Reduction When working with mineral nutrition, I personally prefer to decrease progressively as we approach the end. Not: "Full feed today." "Zero tomorrow." 😂 There is no magic switch inside the plant that suddenly says: "Congratulations, you're finished." The transition is gradual. The plant changes gradually. The flowers mature gradually. The foliage changes gradually. So I prefer the nutritional transition to reflect that. We're reducing the base. We're watching the plant. We're watching the flowers. We're watching the foliage. And we're allowing the plant to tell us how she's progressing. Pheno B is still telling us: "Keep watching." So... we're watching. ──────────────────────── 💧 Water – Still Giving Her What She Needs The same philosophy applies to irrigation. We're not trying to force anything. We're providing consistent water and nutrition through the system and watching the plant's demand. The current room setup remains around: 💧 1.4–1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with the root-zone and solution temperatures remaining around the mid-20s °C. The exact numbers matter. But the consistency matters just as much. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a stable foundation from which she can continue doing what she's already doing. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The 8×8 room continues under the same general conditions: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: approximately 26.5–27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: approximately 25–26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: around 60–61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: around 25–26°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: around 25°C • ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 • ⚡ EC: approximately 2.05 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h • 🌱 Pot Size: 15 L • ☀️ Upper Canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD • 🔌 Future of Grow fixtures: approximately 59% power from the plug The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. The irrigation remains consistent. And the plants are continuing to show us their individual responses. That's exactly what we're here to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Changing Flowers Tell Us More Every Week One of the things I really enjoy about this stage is watching the flowers evolve. Earlier on, you see lots of fresh white pistils. The flowers look young. Everything looks like it's still being built. Now? You start seeing subtle changes. Some pistils begin changing colour. Some curl inward. The flowers become more substantial. The resin becomes more visible. The overall shape becomes more mature. And those changes don't necessarily happen at the same speed across every plant. That's another beautiful part of the 8×8 experiment. Same room. Different genetics. Different expression. Different timeline. Pheno B is following her own. And she's doing a damn good job of it. 😂🍮🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 Still No Need To Touch Her And this is probably worth repeating. Because somebody looking at the photographs might think: "Surely you're doing something to her?" No. 😂 Not really. I'm paying attention. That's different. I'm checking the flowers. I'm checking the foliage. I'm monitoring the environment. I'm watching the irrigation. I'm adjusting the nutrition gradually. I'm watching the lighting. But physically? I'm mostly leaving her alone. And that's because she doesn't need me to interfere. Her architecture is established. Her flowers are developing. Her leaves are functioning. She's healthy. She's occupying her space. Why would I start changing things simply because I feel like I should be doing something? Sometimes cultivation is knowing when to step back. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Gets The Attention Instead So instead of reaching into the canopy... I reach for the camera. 😂📸 And that's exactly what these photographs are for. The wide shots show her place in the tent. The medium shots show her structure. The close-ups show the flowers. And the macro photographs show the little details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. That's the beauty of keeping individual diaries. Pheno B doesn't have to compete with eleven other plants inside the same photograph. She gets her own frame. Her own page. Her own story. And honestly? She deserves it. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Room – Different Answers This remains the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional programme. Same grower. And completely different expressions. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has given us one of those expressions. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. And now she's starting to claim her place in the room. Not because we're forcing her there. Because she grew into it. That's the difference. ──────────────────────── 🍮 She's Not Trying To Be Anyone Else And I think that's something worth celebrating. She doesn't need to be her sister. She doesn't need to be the smallest plant. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant. She doesn't need to finish on somebody else's schedule. She doesn't need to have exactly the same flower structure as another phenotype. She's Chem Brûlée Pheno B. That's enough. And the further we move through the grow, the more obvious her identity becomes. That's the real reward of phenotype work. At first you grow the plant. Eventually... the plant tells you who she is. ──────────────────────── 💚 Healthy Green Is Still Working And I also want to give some love to those green leaves. Because sometimes they don't get enough credit. 😂🌿 Those leaves are still doing their job. They're receiving photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're contributing to the plant's energy production. And while we're entering the later stages of flowering, we're not trying to force a particular colour change. We're allowing the plant to progress naturally. Some plants fade earlier. Some stay green longer. Some show colour changes in particular areas. Some remain surprisingly green almost all the way through. Again... the plant gets the final vote. And Pheno B is still carrying plenty of healthy green. So we're happy to see it. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Photon Experiment Continues The additional Future of Grow fixtures continue to make this part of the 8×8 Adventure especially interesting. We have considerably more lighting capability than we had before. But we're using that capability intelligently. Approximately 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Strong artificial sunlight. Controlled output. And enough headroom to adjust if the plants ever tell us something different. That's the important part. The equipment gives us options. The plants give us information. And the grower makes small adjustments based on what they're seeing. That's the relationship. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead We're getting closer to the final chapters. But we're not rushing them. That's important. Chem Brûlée Pheno B still has her own work to do. So we're going to continue: 🌸 Watching the flowers ❄️ Watching resin development 🌿 Watching the foliage ? Watching the pistils change 💧 Maintaining consistent irrigation ⚗️ Gradually reducing the mineral base ☀️ Maintaining the controlled lighting environment 🌡️ Monitoring the room 📸 Documenting everything No unnecessary intervention. No forcing. No rushing. Just observation and support. The plant knows the timeline better than we do. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Final Thoughts – She's Claiming Her Place Week 12. And this girl is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is claiming her place in the tent. She's not doing it because we've forced her. She's not doing it because we've manipulated her into a certain shape. She's doing it because that's what her genetics have decided to express. She's evolving. She's flowering. She's building. She's frosting. She's filling her space. And we're simply here to support her. The lighting is there. The photons are flying. The irrigation is consistent. The nutrition is being gradually reduced as we approach the final part of the journey. Terra Bloom has moved down to: 🌱 2.0 ml/L And the EC is now around: ⚡ 2.05 mS/cm. Nothing dramatic. Just a gradual transition. Because I don't believe in suddenly going from full mineral nutrition to zero overnight. I prefer to reduce gradually. Watch. Listen. Adjust. And let the plant tell me when she's ready for the next step. And Pheno B? She's talking. 😂🍮🌸 She's saying: "I'm doing just fine." So... keep doing your thing, girl. Keep claiming your space. Keep developing those flowers. Keep shining under that artificial sun. And keep showing us exactly what this beautiful expression of Chem Brûlée can become. ❄️🍮🌸💚 We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every damn minute of it. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brûlée genetics and document this phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the nutrition helping these girls continue through flowering and into their final stages. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in the 8×8. Having the ability to increase the lighting capability, measure what happens, reduce the output and then find a practical operating point has been an amazing part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. More capability. More control. And no need to waste power simply because we have it available. Thank you to Lumiflora for continuing to help bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore the plants as three-dimensional structures. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week you come back. Every week you watch another phenotype evolve. Every week we get another little piece of the puzzle. And that's what makes this project so special. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is writing hers with confidence. She's claiming her place. She's evolving. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more and more herself. And we're not forcing the story. We're simply providing the stage. The plant is doing the rest. 🍮❄️🌸💚 So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the environment stable. And let's let this beautiful girl continue writing her story. Until next week... Keep shining, Chem Brûlée Pheno B. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🍮❄️🔥

A planta fastberry apresta uma anomalia na metade da planta, com folhas atrofiadas e brotos nascendo viradas para baixo, não sei o que possa estar acontecendo, se alguém tiver uma dica provável. Obrigado

**Wednesday 4/21/2021 - Tuesday 4/27/2021** This week I dropped my A+B nutes from 9ml/Gal to 6ml/Gal and CalMag from 5ml/Gal to 2.5ml/Gal. This is also the one week of using Top Booster. From here on out I'll be using Top Shooter to finish. Overall this week has gone pretty good. I did some medium defoliation on Thursday and Saturday, and took a leaf or two here and there in between. I've been able to keep my humidity in pretty decent shape overall. You'll notice I started taking pictures with my light off later in the week. They do look better that way for sure. I don't have the greatest camera and I'm certainly no photographer. I can't really think of anything else to say really, just keep on trucking to the finish line!

14/7/26 day 43 of flowering,beginning week 7. second video-20 days old clone,roots forming in process,was taken bud(🌲21 days flowering). 🌱 The clone was cut and planted directly into the soil,previously watered with Terra Vega and under a transparent dome with 18 hours of light.this method means manyfolding from one bud and ideally for scrog/LST technique.🤙🏻

24.02.2020-installed the 5th lamp, carbon filters, washed with clean water of 5 liters per plant and set it to 12/12 29.02.2020-I water 1 time in 2 days, according to the fertilizer-fertilizer-water scheme, gradually increase the ppm from 600 to 900, before going to bed, having a spray shower ;)

🌱 : 💧 : 4l day 84, 4l day 86, 4l day 88 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Se reparo el problema con el riego que se vio la semana anterior y se prosigue con 3 riegos semanales, lunes, miercoles y sabados. La altura de las plantas va de los 40 a los 85cm un promedio de 62cm. Las flores empiezan a tomar volumen.

Tomorrow I get a aircon to reach 60/16

Week 9 and everything is going well. Even though the weather hasn't been very sunny and we've mostly had cloudy days and plenty of rain, our beauty keeps growing. The trichomes have started turning cloudy, and we can already see some amber ones appearing. We're going to wait until about 50% of them are amber before harvesting. We picked a small bud to dry and test at this stage so we can compare the effect, and then we'll try it again when the plant reaches around 50% amber trichomes. The finish line is getting closer! 🌱💚

Sie entwickeln sich sehr prächtig, hat viele Abzweigung bekommen. Ich werde sie schön wachsen lassen. Zwei Monate mindestens 🌿🍃💚

I will b running the SHERBCAKE again to dial her in properly took a lot clones of her so I can’t wait to run her again terps of her is dessert and fuely 🍰⛽️ seeds made by k1 kreationz

My grow light has started messing up. It turns off at random times and when I turn the dimmer knob a little it come back for a few days. This is not what I expected from a high-end priced item. Anyway, I contacted with MarsHydro and waiting for their response. Lowered the humidity level to 55% , although it is a tricky situation. This week I noticed that the leaves are tacoing, my bet is on bad air circulation and too much light. The humidity should be even lower, but I have to wait until she recovers. DLI 40

those nugs are getting bigger and bigger each day. They‘re just soaking up the fertilzers. We have to water them every second day 2l per plant

the plants grow and flower peacefully, the only thing that is leaving me a little strange is that the flowers do not turn purple unlike the others that have the same cutting reversed as the father but the two of them are s1 therefore self-hypolinating but the purple gene seems to have been passed down only to the mixed progeny and not to her
