Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🚂🌱 Vegetative Week 1 | Taking Her Time Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the journey of Cash Express Pheno B. After a successful germination and smooth transition into her final container, this week marks her first full week of vegetative growth as she begins establishing herself inside the new environment. As with every plant in this project, Pheno B is being grown under a 12/12 From Seed methodology, allowing us to document how individual phenotypes develop when exposed to flowering photoperiods from the very beginning of life. Although she shares the same room, substrate, nutrition program, and environmental conditions as her sister, she is already beginning to display her own personality. And that’s exactly why each phenotype receives its own diary. ⸻ Straight Into The Final Container Just like the rest of the project, Pheno B was transplanted directly into her final container early in life. With 12/12 From Seed grows, every day of vegetative development matters. By avoiding multiple transplants later in the cycle, we allow the root system to establish itself immediately in its permanent home. The objective is simple: Minimize interruptions. Maximize root development. Allow the plant to focus entirely on growth. At this stage, most of the real work is happening below the soil surface. ⸻ Building Foundations In Lightmix For this run we are using Plagron Lightmix as our base substrate. Lightmix provides a balanced environment for young plants by offering gentle nutrition while maintaining excellent aeration and root-zone conditions. Young seedlings don’t need aggressive feeding. They need stability. They need oxygen around the roots. And they need a healthy environment that allows them to establish themselves naturally. So far, Pheno B appears very comfortable in her new home. ⸻ Gentle Nutrition Strategy The first watering after transplant consisted of plain water only. During the earliest stages of life, seedlings still carry enough energy reserves from the seed itself to support initial growth, especially when combined with the nutrients already available within the substrate. Around Day 4 we introduced a light feeding program consisting of: 🌱 Terra Grow 🌱 Pure Zym 🌱 Power Roots 🌱 Sugar Royal All products were applied gently with the objective of supporting root expansion, microbial activity, and healthy early development. At this stage, less is often more. The goal remains healthy growth rather than rapid growth. ⸻ Light Levels & DLI Considerations One aspect that often surprises growers following these diaries is the fact that seedlings are already receiving approximately 350 PPFD. Under traditional 18/6 vegetative schedules, this may appear relatively strong. However, because this project operates under a 12/12 schedule from seed, the total Daily Light Integral (DLI) remains much lower than it would under longer lighting periods. This allows us to introduce moderate light intensity early while still maintaining an appropriate overall daily light load. The objective is to help plants adapt to stronger light from the beginning while avoiding unnecessary stress. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🌱 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌿 CO₂ levels: approximately 600 ppm Maintaining consistency during the seedling stage remains one of the most important factors in achieving healthy development later in the cycle. So far, the environment has remained exactly where we want it. ⸻ Early Observations Cash Express Pheno B is already beginning to show slight differences compared to her sister. While growth has been very similar overall, Pheno B appears slightly more compact and methodical in her development. Leaf expansion has been steady. Color remains healthy and vibrant. The structure is symmetrical and balanced. By the end of the week, healthy development of the first true leaves is clearly visible, and the plant appears fully settled into her new environment. Sometimes the most interesting phenotypes are not the fastest ones. Sometimes they’re simply the ones that take their own path. At this stage, Pheno B looks healthy, happy, and ready for the next step of the journey. ⸻ Looking Ahead As the roots continue exploring the container and nutrient uptake increases, we expect vegetative growth to accelerate over the coming week. The next stage should reveal more about the structural tendencies of this phenotype and help us better understand how she differs from her sister. For now, the objective remains unchanged: Healthy roots. Stable growth. Strong foundations. Everything else comes later. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Cash Express genetics for this project. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and substrate supporting this run. And thank you to Future of Grow, Mammoth Tents, AutoPot, Can-Filters, Prima Klima, and everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Your support makes projects like this possible. As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next week… Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🚂

We have made it to the end of Week 6. Conditions in the tent have improved DRAMATICALLY. The heat wave has finally passed and the temperature has finally leveled out. Not only that, the super weird monsoon weather that we were having has also passed and now the humidity is not rising above 60%. This turn for the best is really showing and also fixing the pH problem I had also probably helped a lot. The color of the buds is really coming through now. They are showing lots of light blues and a little orange and I am loving it. I am planning on pushing the nutrients a little higher these next two weeks, around 750-850 PPM. Hoping to give them a larger shot of overdrive to keep them pushing these last 2 or 3 weeks. Overall I am SO excited for this plant, I can't wait to see what her harvest will bring!!!

È stata una settimana bellissima e calda. Tutte le varietà sono vicine alla fase finale della fioritura e ognuna ha il suo forte aroma particolare. Tutte quasi piene di infiorescenze dure e molto appiccicose ormai stanno completando il loro processo di fioritura in maniera impeccabile. Come sempre queste varietà dutchfem seeds autofiorenti sono una soddisfazione! Alcune sono di tipo XXL mentre altre di taglia media ma sono tutte piene di infiorescenze e continuano a riempirsi quindi verrà applicata una raccolta graduale tra una settimana o due al massimo. Sparito ogni insetto nelle piante a causa della resina appiccicosa. Sono felice un abbraccio a tutti.

Germinated for 24 hours in a glass of water, 48 hours in a paper towel and then I planted them into biodegradable seedling pots. Northern Lights looking a bit ahead of the Dosidos seeds but that was expected I’ve grown Northern Lights before and they sprout real quick. One of the Dosidos’ first true leaves is looking a bit wonky but we’ll see how it goes I suppose.

Nachdem ich ein paar Triebe aus Versehen abbrach, lies ich vergangene Woche die Pflanzen in ruhe. Mittlerweile war alles zugewuchert, weshalb ich mich dazu entschloss, einige Blätter zu entfernen und mit etwas LST zu starten um die Pflanzen auf das kommende SCROG´ing vorzubereiten

This week was ok..this week's growth were a little stunted in my opinion...honestly I noticed some deficiencies in the leaves, which is a result of my ph being lower than ideal ranges..I noticed that my runoff ph was around 5.5.i did a light flush of the plants with low strength nutrients ph at 6.2. So the ladies seem to be responding well so far. Ill definitely keep yall updated in my next upload. Happy growing 😎 Also I am very aware of how my ph dropped down that low in the 1st place..i will definitely correct the problem

Week 8 showed strong bud development and a noticeable increase in trichome production. Both plants are now clearly entering the later stages of flowering. ✨ Light intensity stayed around ~1100 PPFD. Environment remained stable at ~24°C and ~50% RH. Both plants continued to be watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag, based on pot weight. 💧 During this week Apricot #2 developed rust-colored / yellow spots on the small leaves near the buds, which suggested a possible nutrient imbalance or early lockout. To be safe, both plants were flushed twice with water + CalMag. After the second flush the issue did not worsen, although the damaged leaves remained visible. Despite this, overall flower development progressed very well. 🌸 Apricot #1 looks very healthy and stable with a compact structure and now produces buds just as thick as #2. Apricot #2 remains the slightly darker phenotype and still shows the previously observed leaf tip droop, but overall development stayed stable after the flush. Trichome coverage increased significantly this week and the smell became noticeably stronger, developing into a sweet, fruity, tropical aroma. The plants are relatively small compared to some previous runs, but the bud quality and resin production look very promising so far. 💪🌿

Otra vez familia e vuelto actualizar las do sweet dos , que menudos ejemplares que ganas hay de verlas madurando 😂. Hubo problemas menores medioambientales, a raíz de ello sufrí hermafroditismo en muchos ejemplares, los cuales se eliminaron todos los posibles plátanos. Por lo demás todo genial solo ese fallo el cual en un futuro no pasará mas. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: 1 ml x L Flowering black line , vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Beta shark, vía radicular. 0,3 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Betazyme, vía radicular. 0,05 ml x L Gold Joker, vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Silver, vía radicular. . Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

Dear Friends, 👨‍🌾 👩‍🌾 White russian by Seeds Mafia is growing great! Lots of bud sites and good structure. It need a defoliation in flowering stage because a lot of leaves are covering bud sites.. 27/11 transplanted into 15L smart pot ✅ VEGETATIVE week #7 (LAST WEEK) 30/12 SWITCH 12/12H 📅this week goes from 26/12 to 01/01.📅 💡💡💡Viparspectra XS2000 is working at 50% power. 💉🔍Fertilization schedule:🔍💉 26/12 3ml/lt TOP VEG 30/12 TOP MASS 0.2ml/L + 2.2 ml/L TOP VEG 31/12 SENSI CAL MAG EXTRA 2ml/L foliar spray WE ARE BACK!!! We are back after a little pause. We take a break because we were too busy to post high quality diaries. In the last diaries we tried to post as good as possible and we have to publish about 6 or 8 diaries (in addition to these that we will publish shortly). We opened also an educational Instagram page, we growed a lot in a short amount of time BUT, Instagram suspended our account and we lost all our posts, I was so sad and disappointed... a lot of work lost in a night.... Now we started a new grow with six awesome strains!!!!! In this diary you will see our journey with White Russian by our friends Seeds Mafia, sit down and enjoy the show! We are growing in a 15L Smart Pot with Light Mix soil by BioBizz White Russian Feminized was obtained by crossing the AK-47 and White Widow varieties, it has a very short flowering period of 55-65 days. It is especially recommended for outdoor cultivation, such as France and Spain, although it may also adapt to indoors and greenhouses. The harvest flavor is relatively intense during the growth and flowering period. These seeds give excellent plants, both as appearance and effect. The plant has a medium height, it is robust, thick and dense, with flowers full of resin (the crystals occur about 5 weeks after flowering). Having a 22% THC content, White Russian is one of the most popular and potent marijuana varieties. As a result, this strain has a very strong, intense, lasting and rather mind effect 💸💸💸💸💸 Here you can buy seeds of this top shelf strain: https://seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/white-russian-feminized-.html _____________________________________________________________________ 🔧💡OUR SET UP💡🔧 ✔️ 💲💲💲VIPARSPECTRA 🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕 ViparSpectra®️ XS2000 240W Infrared Full Spectrum LED Grow Light: Excellent ratio between wattage and ppfd, excellent light penetraton, perfect light spectrum (it also has IR 🤩) and it has the best build quality on the market.

I’m growing Purple Queen from Royal Queen Seeds, Citradelic Sunset & Zweet Inzanity from Ethos Genetics, and King Kong From Big Buddha Seeds. Germination happened within 24hrs on all but the Zweet Inzanity which took almost 48hrs and I planted the seeds straight into their pots. I’m using Redbud living soil with Cannaseur seed blend (Amazon find) which includes 13 different types of seeds for cover crops. Straw is being used as a top dressing/mulch. I’m growing under two Spectrum King 602GH LED lights. I have a 55gal reservoir with 2 adjustable drip emitters in each pot. I would not consider my living soil as perfect for planting at this point but I was eager to get started. I planted my seeds before fully establishing my cover crops. I have added red wigglers and nematodes. I breakdown some of this process in the video.

So the ladies are still standing. I decided to let them go another few days to fully mature. They are looking very nice and the extra days were really worth it. They have been getting plain water the last 7 days. Harvest is around the corner. Best of luck to everyone in the competition. Thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for making this happen. Happy growing.
