16th June We're drawing to a close. I'm not sure how much longer there is to go, we're well into the expected 55-65 day flowering window at this point. It's about to shut. At this point my past plants would have some mild chlorosis from nutrient burn or lockout, or at least some yellowing of leaves this late into flower as the plant goes looking for resources. I think the huge volume of soil works as a magnificent buffer against common errors. I feel like she really filled out the space we gave her beautifully. Makes me wonder if topping maybe three times might have given us a very interesting result, and much better in terms of light intensity per bud. I'm used to some chlorosis as a sign I look for that the plant has decided we're at the end of the road. So far, we're evergreen from top to bottom. I'll have to rely on inspecting the individual trichomes for change. Speaking of the main cola, it's huge. It's fat, it's girthy. Weighty, even. It's a sight to behold. It's also full of mould. See photos, I tried to open things up a bit for the camera. None of the other flowers seem affected. I'm honestly not surprised in the least, but if I knew to open the bud up a bit I would have done so. Might not have succumbed to the creeping grey death. About half of it is salvageable from a hasty first assessment. Fingers crossed as always. Looking forward to sampling, not long now :):):)

I think she start to look delicious 28/7 she really start to smell good 30/7 give her this morning the first time green sensation and build it up to 0,5 in the next week that starts tomorrow ☘️

November 6th day 63 is the day to harvest. May change but i am checking trichomes daily. Few clear trichs left and most are cloudy. Planning on flushing this weekend for a week. We are at day 56 flowering and most trichomes are cloudy. preparing to start Flawless Finish flush and let the girls ripen. Ill give an update half way through the next week. Thanks for checking in.

Girl Scout Cookies are doing great! Buds are starting to stack up trichome development is on point. Found a little weirdo bud on the lower branch. Looks like we got a polyploid mutation, very excited to see how this one turns out. More defoliation this past week since they were getting too bushy. Moving forward, slight adjustment on nutrients and letting her do her thing.

Will update more. Easy grow super easy to maintain once I figured out my environment. They like to chunk up nicely. Definitely top and train outwards, it makes a huge difference in the plants. 7/19/24 a month after cure. i didnt do anything special or baby the curing process. these are thick and chunky feeling. breaking up a nug and i noticed the texture was different and the buds were so sticky that they kept sticking to my finger. they werent that sticky 2 weeks

This is my first grow getting back into it after a 25 yr absence.

Altogether this was an amazon experience no complaints at all I look forward in the future grows and lesson to come forth because I know there's plenty more to learn

Really can't complain about this plant. Despite her nutrient lockout issue, she turned out perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the yield considering she was crammed in my tent with the other two plants. Definitely the most dense buds I've grown to date as well. Can't wait to grow again with more room and possibly a larger pot size 👌

Time to bring hi-definition production staff on board. Time-lapse flowering stages is incredible. Enjoy it Good morning Babys. Fast check out and let fly Working hard with co2 in my homemade lab. First time Mars Hydro at 100% of his power.Two small boxes always better then just one big)))

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 6 | Finding Her Own Pace Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the reasons I love running phenotype hunts is because they constantly remind me that there is no such thing as a "perfect timeline." Every plant has her own rhythm. Even sisters sharing the same genetics, the same room, the same lighting, and almost identical nutrition will often choose completely different paths. Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues to be the perfect example of that. While her sister has moved slightly further ahead, Pheno B is taking a steadier, more measured approach to flowering. She's still stretching, still building her structure, and quietly preparing for the weeks ahead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with growing at your own pace. Sometimes those who start a little slower end up surprising everyone in the end. 🌼 Flowers Are Taking Shape This week the flowering transition became even more obvious. The first pistils that appeared last week are now multiplying across the growing tips, with every branch beginning to establish its own future flower site. The main top is starting to take form, while the secondary branches are joining the party one by one. Everything still feels delicate, but that's exactly what makes this stage so exciting. These tiny clusters may not look impressive today, but in only a few weeks they'll become the dense flowers that make all the patience worthwhile. Watching that transformation never gets old. 🌿 Elegant Structure One thing I really enjoy about this phenotype is her overall architecture. Compared to her sister, Pheno B has developed a slightly more open canopy, allowing plenty of airflow and excellent light penetration throughout the plant. Every branch seems to have found its own place without much intervention from me. The internodal spacing is balanced, the stems are strong, and the canopy already has a very natural shape. Sometimes a plant almost trains herself. Those are always enjoyable grows. The foliage remains a rich healthy green, and she's showing plenty of energy as she continues building toward full flower production. 🌱 Gentle Guidance Training remains intentionally simple. Low Stress Training continues helping spread the branches while occasional leaf tucking allows light to reach developing flower sites hidden beneath the canopy. I've resisted the temptation to overwork her. At this stage the goal isn't to force the plant into a specific shape. It's simply to help her make the most of the structure she's already chosen. The less unnecessary stress we create now, the more energy she can dedicate to producing beautiful flowers later. 🍽️ Feeding Strategy Nutrition remains focused on supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining healthy vegetative growth during the final stretch. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be based on observation rather than routine. Plants don't read feeding charts. They tell us what they need through their growth, colour, and overall health. Learning to understand those signals is one of the most valuable skills any grower can develop. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues providing stable conditions for healthy flower development. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With flowering progressing, humidity has gradually been reduced to create an ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Stable environmental conditions allow every phenotype to fully express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. It's amazing how much difference consistency makes over an entire grow. 📸 Capturing Another Chapter This week's photographs show a plant that's confidently settling into early flower. The close-up shots reveal fresh white pistils appearing from every growing tip, while the wider photos showcase a beautifully balanced structure that promises excellent light distribution as the buds continue developing. One thing I particularly enjoy is seeing how different the two Chem Brûlée sisters already look despite sharing the same genetics. That's the beauty of phenotype hunting. No two stories are ever exactly the same. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect Chem Brûlée Pheno B to continue producing new pistils across the canopy while gradually slowing her vertical stretch. The individual flower sites should begin expanding, and the first signs of true bud stacking will become more noticeable. Training will remain light, allowing her natural shape to continue developing while simply helping every branch receive as much light as possible. She's growing with quiet confidence. And sometimes... Those are the plants that end up leaving the biggest impression. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure.

Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Once again GALACTIC buds! And once again cant add the comment lol

12 Week…

10/28 - Pushing this update three days early since much has changed. Did a solution change earlier today to the new mix (as noted) which settled in about 740ppm (570ppm nutrients, 1.14ec + tap). After approximately eight hours (including a dark cycle), she registered 720ppm, but we will see how she swings over the next few days. The other lady in the video was given the same nutrient solution at the same time and is now showing some dark buildup on her roots that this Amnesia XXL Auto doesn't have. Her growth has been fantastic so far and she is responding well to the nutrients. I am excited to see how this goes considering this is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna Gro. Any comments, questions, observations, or concerns are always welcome. Happy Growing! Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a preventative for any potential root issues. Edit: 10/31 - Removed two large fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. PPMs have slowly climbed up to 750. Lowered to 700 with pH'ed water. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised to 18" above canopy.

Week 13 for Gigi! Fifth week of flower: Buds are fattening up and trichomes are becoming milky...Guys if you try to grow this genetic, keep in mind this thing: use a good filter! This plant smells a lot and amazingly good 👍 Day 86: Watered properly with all the nutrients. Rh is about 50/55% and temperature 25°C. Day 90: Watered again with half the nutrients. She drinks a lot. Guys, now it's time to talk about the disaster happened with the lamp 3 weeks ago. The lamp crashed on the main branches snapping them...but Gigi simply doesn't give a s*** about it and flowered. See ya next week and don't forget to love your plant!

perfect

Decided I was going to do this 100% organic down to the Ph up and down is Nectar of the God's, I've added in some living soil which I haven't used in over a year to aide the plant even more organically. Plant showed some stress from transplant so I gave it a foliar feed after a day or so and its back to life, I felt the plant was moving extremely fast while still not competing a week of veg so I moved it early to not slow down its growth. Looking forward to the next 5 weeks of veg.

Hey here we go again.. in the pics I explained how to clean the lava rocks but to make it easier I will put them here. LAVA ROCK CLEANING. 1... fill sink with hot water and about a half bottle of hydrogen peroxide . 2 ...dump rocks into sink 3....shake out rocks from roots...I suggest you do this in another sink then add lava rock to other sink..it keeps from adding to many roots to water sink. 4....skim off all roots from top of water...now while the lava rocks sit in the water..clean the buckets. 5...take fitting from buckets and add to a cup filled with hydrogen peroxide let sit 6...clean buckets with hot water and hydrogen peroxide....dry bucket 7...take fittings out of cup clean off and clean inside fittings..then wash off and put back into buckets. 8... use a colander and add lava rock to it and run hot water over the lava rock as you move them around...then add warm..then cold water this will help make the roots brittle and easy to remove...shake off all water. 9...put rocks back into buckets 10 ...set room back up with all new lines... Enjoy your grow, good luck, have fun Smoke a fatty..see you next week Help out a fellow grower.
