Organic stuff in the irrigation system didn’t take long to become a problem. I had to disconnect the whole dripper manifold and flush it properly — even with hydrogen peroxide, because the lines went nasty. From now on, I’m adding enzymes separately by hand. A new pump arrived too: 40W, 2500 L/h. Things started working much better right away. The drippers are pushing way stronger now. Should’ve stopped being cheap from the start. Also grabbed a new camera, so I can finally keep an eye on the tent remotely again. I still couldn’t really get the pH down where I wanted it. Some leaves are getting burnt here and there. I’m keeping the input around 5.2, but honestly it doesn’t help much. Luckily, the buds don’t seem to care too much — they’re still stacking and getting denser. Spotted a couple of fresh green nanners on #3, the one in the middle. Plucked them off right away, and so far I haven’t found any more. We’re getting close to the finish now. Autumn is starting from the lower parts, so I cut nitrogen down to around 90 ppm. Did a light cleanup as well — removed some of the burnt fan leaves and opened things up a bit. I’ve already dimmed the light down to 160W, otherwise I just can’t keep the temperature under control. Summer heat has finally arrived, so I’m basically catching the last train of decent conditions. Looks like I’ll finish just in time. #3 already looks pretty much ready, only the lowers are still filling in a little. #4 is still throwing some new pistils, but not that actively anymore. #1 and #2 look like the youngest and most active ones, but I’m not really counting them — they’ve got their own little world going on. So yeah, that’s pretty much it. Around two more weeks and then chop time.

Purple Lemonade , Gelato 1&2, LAK 2&3 are all just about done theyll be coming down over the weekend or early next week. T26, Pineapple Express, Mexican Airlines, LAK 1, 6 Shooter Blue Dreamatic and Cream Cookies are all on the flush but will need a few more before chop. This tent reeks up the whole block it's pretty intense skunk in the driveway right now. There will be one more update I'm guessing for most of these before the harvest update. This was the most successful autoflower crop I've had in a long time I think theres some really good quality buds on some of these. I'll put the video up now and as I go thru the pics theyll be uploaded so if your interested come back tmm for the pics.

-4/9/23 Start of Week --Week 3 -4/9/23 (Day 22) --Changes: lowered the light and move the pot about 6 inches closer to the middle of the light (light intensity not changed). --Diary Enter; harvested half of the other plant that is in the same space, allowing me to drop the height of the light. will be watching for problems because light intensity was not changed (about 60%). -4/12/23 (Day 25) --Observations: Branch node are forming at the spade leaves at the first level shade leaves, also the third set of shade leaves are forming. growing quicker now that the light was lowered, also looks darker than at the beginning of the week. --Diary Entry: started growing faster after lowering the light and looks like it has increased chlorophyll production. will be changing the light cycle at the beginning of next week to 18/6 light/night, it will get that light cycle for 3 weeks then change back to 12/12 because of the fast flower competition. Fast Buds information on this cultivar clams that the flowering cycle takes 7-8 weeks so that's what I'm accounting for, leaving 1-2 weeks for hang dry and the start of curing. -4/15/23 (Day 28) --Observations: branch nodes doing very good, growing at good rate. --Diary Entry: will be changing to 18/6 light/night cycle beginning tomorrow, will also be transplanting and starting training soon. -4/15/23 End of Week

Everything went well appart from the afids in the end. She looks very pretty and smells awesome! Yield could be a litle higher... Still shooting for less than 1€/g. I think I will stop topping my plants. Maybe next time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seed: 10€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power (68 days 20h/day): 19,58€ -Total variable costs: 39,08€ -Total costs per grow: 42,25€ -Cost per Gram: 1,63€

Es war keine sonderlich clevere Idee von mir die Düngegaben der Fruit Bomb Punch für zwei Tage auszusetzen um zu sehen, wie sie reagiert. Es hat ihr nicht gut getan, die Blätter sind heller geworden und das Höhenwachstum dieser Woche hat insgesamt nur 5 cm betragen. Das sagt mir, dass der Dünger im Topf aufgebraucht ist sie von num an auf die Flüssigdüngung oder eine anderen externe Düngung angewiesen ist. Die heutige erstmalige Düngung mit Komposttee wird sie hoffentlich wieder stärken und Kraft zum Wachsen geben. Dem Komposttee wurde Wurmkompost, BioBizz PreMix, Wuxal Calcium Dünger, Seetangextrakt und Vinasse hinzugefügt. Das ganze in einem 20l. Eimer mir Sauerstoff angereichert und nach 22 Stunden wurden heute Morgen zum ersten Mal alle Pflanzen 1:9 verdünnt damit gegossen. Der Komposttee roch erdig, etwas rauchig, ganz leicht säuerlich und war auch etwas milchig geworden und nicht nur eine dunkle Brühe. Mineralstoffmangel sollte somit ausgeschlossen sein. Diese Prozedor wird von jetzt an wöchentlich stattfinden. Da die großen Töpfe 72 L. fassen sollten die Mikroben eine Zeilt lang darin überleben können, bis zur Auffrischung in sieben Tagen. Die anderen Tage wird weiter mit Vinasse und Bittersalz gedüngt. Ich hoffe, dass es zu keiner Überdüngung kommt. Wuxal Calcium ist neu hinzugekommen, da ich mir nicht sicher bin ob der Komposttee genug Calcium enthält. Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Grow-Woche!

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet. Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6. (Here are my notes of the 6th Week) 30th September 2020 ( 11cm in height ) The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds. (Notes Done) So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19) I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

This week went pretty well, I was out of town, but I was able to monitor these ladies by WYZE Cam, and I set up the feedings on a timer, but I only fed them twice per day while I was gone. They are still getting Cal-Mag, maxibloom, and PK booster. Still running on 19/5 light cycle, and I also did some defoliation when I got back in town just to improve some air flow. Overall I am very happy with these genetics from Sweet Seeds, and I believe I am only a couple weeks from harvest, but I will continue to monitor the trichomes with my optics. Thanks for checking me out and Blaze On!

Cash Express – Pheno B | Week 3 Small Sister, Big Potential Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own place in the spotlight. While sister plants may share the same parents, they rarely tell exactly the same story—and that is one of the most fascinating parts of growing from seed. This week brings us to Cash Express Pheno B, the quieter sister of the pair. At first glance she may appear slightly behind Pheno A in overall size and development, but spending a little time with the photographs reveals something far more interesting. This is not a weak plant. This is a plant writing her own chapter. ⸻ Week 3 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 27.4°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% 💡 PPFD: ~700 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed 💦 Water Consumption: ~0.9–1.2L per day Feeding Schedule Days 18 * EC 1.0 * pH 5.99–6.0 * Approximately 1L Days 21 * EC 1.3 * pH 6.0 * Approximately 1.2L The environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing differences between phenotypes to become increasingly visible. ⸻ Cash Express Pheno B If Pheno A represents symmetry and textbook structure, Pheno B represents individuality. She is slightly smaller. A little less aggressive. A little less imposing. But she possesses something equally valuable. Character. Looking at the canopy from above, the first thing that stands out is how compact and tidy she remains. While her sister is charging forward with obvious vigor, Pheno B appears to be investing more energy into establishing structure before accelerating upward. The leaves are healthy and evenly colored. The stems remain strong. The new growth is vibrant and active. Most importantly, the plant shows no signs of struggling despite her slightly slower pace. In fact, many experienced growers learn over time that the fastest seedling is not always the plant that finishes strongest. Some phenotypes sprint. Others build momentum. Right now, Pheno B feels very much like the second type. ⸻ A Different Growth Rhythm One of the most interesting aspects of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is seeing how differently plants can respond under identical conditions. Same tent. Same nutrients. Same environment. Same light. Yet each plant interprets those conditions through its own genetic lens. Cash Express Pheno B seems to prefer a more measured approach. The internodes remain relatively compact. The branching is beginning to establish itself. The center of the plant is becoming increasingly busy with fresh growth. And while she may not command attention immediately through sheer size, she rewards closer observation. There is a quiet confidence developing here. A feeling that she is preparing rather than rushing. ⸻ Healthy Signs Everywhere Several positive observations stand out this week: * Excellent leaf color throughout the canopy * Strong, healthy petiole development * Compact structure * Good node formation * Active new growth * Positive response to increased feeding and PPFD The fresh growth emerging from the center is particularly encouraging. Those younger leaves display the lighter green color typical of rapidly expanding tissue, showing that the plant is actively building new biomass and continuing to adapt to the increased light levels. Nothing about this plant suggests limitation. Only a slightly different timetable. ⸻ The Beauty of Phenotype Variation One of the goals of documenting every phenotype separately is to capture these subtle differences. If both sisters looked identical, there would be little to learn. Instead, we get to observe how two related plants express themselves in unique ways. Pheno A currently impresses through vigor and structure. Pheno B impresses through balance and composure. Both approaches are valid. Both are beautiful. And both deserve their own spotlight. Sometimes the plant that receives less attention early on becomes the one that surprises everyone later. I’ve seen that story play out many times before. Perhaps Pheno B has a surprise waiting for us too. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the coming week I will be watching closely for: * Increased branch development * Changes in growth rate under the higher PPFD * Early flowering indicators from the 12/12 schedule * Structural differences compared to Pheno A * Signs of unique phenotype expression At this stage she remains healthy, happy, and steadily progressing. And honestly, that’s exactly what I want to see. No drama. No problems. Just growth. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along with this project. Thank you to the GrowDiaries community for creating a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another. Thank you to Plagron for supporting this cultivation journey. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics and the opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower who takes the time to stop by, leave a comment, share advice, or simply enjoy the journey. Every plant has a story. Some tell it loudly. Others tell it quietly. This week, Cash Express Pheno B reminds us that quiet stories are often worth listening to. 🌱💚 Growers Love and see you next week, little lady. Keep growing your way.

Day 106 Day 63 Flower 12/07/24 Friday 2nd week of flush and it's like the plant is holding out, like it wants to go on and on. I gave 3L de-chlorinated tap water today pH 6.0 Day 107 Day 64 Flower 13/07/24 Saturday Big flush again today 10L de-chlorinated tap water to pH 6.0 with 10ml flawless finish . Trichomes are flooding but she is still throwing out white pistils like crazy 😮‍💨 just ripen woman ♀️ 😅💚 Removed all lower fan leaves to help her suck every nute out of herself quicker, I think maybe this will work 😅✌️ Day 109 Day 66 Flower 15/07/24 Monday Watering off today, 3L de-chlorinated tap water ph 5.8. Noticed now sugar leaves and fans started depleting there green colour and are fading yellow, trichomes all cloudy, some amber's I'm finding but not many yet. Some clear still. Day 111 Day 68 Flower 17/07/24 Thursday Allowing soil to dry out now. May do a 24-48hr dark period I'll see how she is tomorrow.
