Just a nasty little runt that couldn’t take the heat and crazy weather! Had this happen twice before with autos specifically. Not going to waste any more time! Oh well! On to the next! ✌️🏻💚

This week I focused on training — topped her multiple times to encourage a bushy structure. She responded well, showing strong growth and lots of new shoots. The stem is thickening nicely and side branches are stretching out, promising a good number of future bud sites. Very happy with how she’s shaping up so far

Alaskan Purple auto has sprouted, and is getting acclimated. She is under the Medical Grow Mini Sun 2. 🤞🏻for a killer plant for the contest. Thank you Medic Grow, and Seedsman. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

26.04. Day 90 Day 50 of flower, and the tent is an absolute showpiece. The buds are looking ripe, dense, and coated in a thick layer of frost – a true visual treat. Even the plants that struggled earlier have pulled through and are now showcasing stunning, resin-drenched flowers. The overall canopy is shining, and every plant tells its own little success story. If things continue like this, harvest time isn’t far off – just a little more patience, and then it’s time to reap the rewards! ******************************************* 10L RO Water // ph- // ph 6,2 // every second day *******************************************

Blütetag 77 – Geduld zahlt sich aus Drei Wochen über Herstellerangabe – und genau deshalb fühlt sich dieser Zeitpunkt richtig an. Ich habe mich bewusst entschieden, nicht nach Kalender, sondern nach Reifegrad zu gehen. Ziel ist ein stark körperbetontes, sedierendes Endergebnis – also Geduld statt Eile. Der Fade ist deutlich, die Blätter verlieren an Kraft, während die Buds dicht, harzig und vollständig ausgereift wirken. Jetzt geht es nicht mehr um Masse, sondern um Feinreife. Die finale Woche beginnt. 🌿 Abschlussbericht – Franco’s Lemon Cheese 🍋🧀 | Tag 80 – Ernte Tag 80. Heute ist der Tag, auf den ich die ganze Zeit hingearbeitet habe: Erntezeit. Nach geduldigem Warten ist der Amber-Anteil jetzt genau da, wo ich ihn haben wollte – und damit ist für mich der perfekte Punkt erreicht, um die Schere anzusetzen. Dieser Run war für mich vor allem eins: Kontrolle, Geduld und Feintuning. Ich hab bewusst nicht überhastet reagiert, sondern die Pflanze sauber bis zum Ende geführt. Die letzten Tage waren nochmal pures Beobachten: Trichome checken, Reife bewerten, Bauchgefühl + Lupe zusammenführen – und heute hat’s einfach „klick“ gemacht. Was ich mitnehme aus diesem Grow • Timing schlägt Stress: Das bisschen extra warten hat sich gelohnt – genau diese letzten Prozent machen am Ende den Unterschied. • Reife vor Optik: Nicht nur nach „sieht fertig aus“ gehen, sondern nach dem, was die Trichome wirklich sagen. • Stabil bis zum Schluss: Gerade die Endphase entscheidet, ob man mit einem guten Ergebnis endet oder mit einem „hätte ich mal…“. Jetzt startet Phase 2 Ab jetzt geht’s nicht mehr um Wachstum, sondern um Qualität sichern: Trocknung, Klima, Geduld – und dann Curing, bis die Franco’s Lemon Cheese genau das wird, was sie sein soll: hart, aromatisch, sauber, fertig. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden mit den nächsten Updates zu: • Wet Trim / Dry Trim • Trocknungsdauer & Klima • Erster Smoke-/Vape-Test • Curing-Woche 1–4 Bis hierhin: Run sauber durchgezogen. Heute wird geerntet. 🍋🧀✂️ Trocknung ist gestartet und läuft kontrolliert über den Controller: • 60% rF • 2% Totzone • 16–18°C Jetzt heißt’s: Ruhe bewahren, Klima stabil halten und langsam trocknen, damit Terps und Qualität sauber erhalten bleiben. Nächster Step: Dry-Check & Trim, sobald die Äste anfangen leicht zu “snappen”.

Is growing the buds now exciting times

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 6 | Building Sweet Foundations Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest rewards of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is watching each one reveal her own personality. Some race into flower. Others take their time. Some grow broad, powerful leaves. Others reach for the sky with elegant spacing between every node. Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to prove that she's a lady who likes to do things her own way. Still growing under the 12/12 From Seed method, she has now settled comfortably into early flowering. The explosive stretch is beginning to slow, and all that energy is gradually being redirected toward what matters most now... Building flowers. Every day her structure becomes a little more defined, and every new pistil reminds us that this beautiful lady is only just getting started. ⸻ 🌼 Early Flowers Becoming Real Bud Sites One of the biggest changes this week isn't dramatic at first glance, but it's incredibly exciting once you know what you're looking for. Last week we celebrated the appearance of the first white pistils. This week those tiny flowers have begun gathering together, forming the first recognizable bud sites across the entire plant. The main cola is starting to establish itself, while every branch is producing neat little clusters that will eventually connect into long, resin-coated flowers. It's one of my favourite stages of any grow. Everything is still delicate and full of promise, but you can already begin to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. The blueprint has been drawn. Now the construction begins. ⸻ 🍃 Those Beautiful Giant Leaves If there is one feature that continues stealing the spotlight, it's those incredible fan leaves. They're still enormous. Wide, elegant and working around the clock as natural solar panels, capturing every available photon and converting it into energy for flower production. This week I also noticed some of the older lower leaves becoming a lighter shade of green. I'm not concerned. During the transition into flowering it's common for vigorous plants to increase their nutrient demand while redirecting energy toward rapid growth and bud formation. Rather than chasing perfection, I prefer listening carefully to what the plant is telling me. We'll continue monitoring her closely, making small adjustments only when they're truly needed. Healthy growing is about observation, not overreaction. And overall... This beautiful lady still looks full of life and determination. ⸻ 🌱 AutoPot Doing Its Job Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues thriving in the AutoPot system. By allowing the plant to decide when she drinks, the root zone remains consistently supplied without the repeated wet-and-dry cycles of traditional watering. One of the things I appreciate most about this system is how quietly it does its work. There's no timer deciding when the plant should eat. The plant makes that decision herself. As her flowers continue developing and daily water consumption increases, the AutoPot will simply keep following her rhythm. It's a partnership more than a watering system. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week This week's nutrient program continued supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining enough nutrition for the final stages of the stretch. The feeding schedule included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick when required The focus now shifts gradually away from vegetative growth and toward flower production. As always, changes are made carefully and based on the plant's response rather than following a fixed calendar. Every phenotype speaks a slightly different language. Learning to understand that language is one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for continued flower development. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With the stretch beginning to slow, humidity has started coming down compared to earlier weeks. Lower humidity encourages healthy flower development while maintaining excellent transpiration and reducing future risks as the buds become denser. A stable environment allows the plants to focus their energy where we want it most—building flowers. ⸻ 📸 Watching the Story Unfold This week's photographs capture a plant that is quietly entering a new chapter. The towering fan leaves still dominate the canopy, but now they're sharing the stage with dozens of fresh flower sites emerging from every branch. Looking back through previous weeks makes the transformation even more impressive. What started as a young seedling has become a strong, elegant plant preparing for the busiest weeks of her life. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting every stage. These photos aren't just memories. They're milestones. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowers to become noticeably larger as more pistils emerge and the first signs of stacking begin. The stretch should gradually come to an end, allowing the plant to invest more and more energy into flower production. We'll continue watching the lighter lower leaves, making gentle adjustments if necessary while allowing the rest of the plant to keep doing what she's already doing so well. Sometimes the healthiest gardens aren't the ones where we intervene the most. They're the ones where we learn when to simply observe. Chem Brûlée Pheno A seems determined to remind me of exactly that. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these incredible plants grow, I'm truly grateful to have you along for the journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge, experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Zamnesia for providing the beautiful genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting throughout the entire cycle. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even those who challenge me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make these diaries far more meaningful than they would ever be on their own. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue turning those giant leaves into the energy needed to build what already promises to be something very special. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

This is more than 21 weeks now, there was a time when I was not updating as she was a very slow, most probably due to inappropriate care :) I was very upset when completely broke my young plant in week 5 but now I’m very happy that I didn’t give up on her and cloned her :)

They seem to be looking great I’d appreciate any feedback on what you guys think

-5/14/23 Start of Week --Week 8/Flower 2 -5/17/23 (Day 60/Flower 11) --Observations: still getting clustered with shade leaves, Stigmas are growing in number and gaining size. --Changes: started spraying with Build-a-Bloom once a day --Comments: nutrient spray should help with pre-flower creation, still not putting nutrients in watering. still not removing anything until the end of next week, then defoliation of shade leaved will be done to open up space for all the branched to do their best. -5/20/23 (Day 63/Flower 14) --Observations: pre-flower is coming in nicely, sent is starting to change --Changes: started spraying twice a day with Build-a-Bloom, moved closer to light (26 in) --Comments: starting to get a sent but it is faint, noticed when I was manipulating for photos. The sent is like foliage and lemons, could also partially be do to the lemon basil. changed location under the light making it more in the middle and lowered the distance to the light. got some WWE action figures and what I think is a G.I. Joe action figure from a friend to use for a photo contest, also took video for this week with them. -5/20/23 End of Week

Hi everyone 🤗. She is getting bushier 😅. I decided to have them in the 11 liter pots. Since it is getting pretty tight in the flower tent 😀. In about 10 days there will be some space in the flower tent, then I will move it around 👍🙂.

Hey everyone 😀. The bush is getting heavier and heavier 😅. Despite the bamboo sticks, they don't get a proper hold 😊. This week the nutrients started to be reduced so that she slowly begins to use up her remaining energy before she flushes. Until then, however, it will still take some time, and I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow☘️ You can buy this Strain at : https://www.barneysfarm.com Strain : Blue gelato 41 clone from mother (Barney's Farm) ☝️ Genetics: Blueberry x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Sunset Sherbert 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED HLG Quantum Board 100 W ( 200 W ) 💡 Flower lamp: 2x Todogrow LED CXB3590 205 W = ( 410 W ) 💡 ☝️ Soil : Canna Terra Professional + ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Terra Vega , Canna Terra Flores , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Umstände

Finally we can clearly see that the plant has completed its third week of flowering ... We hope it shows us some purple color 🍇🍇🍇!!!!!...

Comenzo la 6ª semana En 3 dias hacen los 40 dias de crecimiento. Tienen una altura de 40 cm posiblemente pase a floracion a mitad de semana. Los riegos parten de ec 0.2 se añade calmag siempre hasta 0.4/0.5 ec

Have grown 3 gorilla cookies autos out to harvest and all three have been noticeably different in growth and characteristics

This girl is surprising every week her growth has doubled after changing from 20/4 to 18/6 I noticed that she accepted the nutrients better she took more color height referring to her sisters she is bigger, beginning of flower, something fast even as sprinters are accepting increases of 100 ppm by irrigation without burning the lights are not so close to the canopy, usually the autos that don't grow much, come in search of lights elongating their grow more without light deficit, (strong light, further from the canopy.

Day 14. Beautiful trileaf plant. Not quite ready for LST. Maybe tomorrow. Day 15. Bent over nicely for me. This plant is gonna be a beast.

Increased the amount of nutrients, water and food. Manual 12/12 light cycle at 100% most the time. Fan on 24/7. Continued to trim smaller branches and budsites bending a few branches to fill out the canopy better.
