Week 10 Update – Full Throttle with Advanced Nutrients 🌱 I’m now feeding 100% of the Advanced Nutrients schedule with all components. I noticed a slight calcium deficiency in the AN plants, so I’ve increased the base nutrients from 75% to 100%. Advanced Nutrients CalMag Xtra remains at 1ml/L, and it has been reliable throughout the grow with 0 EC osmosis water. BioBizz#1 – BT42 The trichome ripeness is mixed—there are both amber and clear trichomes, so it’s not quite consistent yet. CalMag issues show up occasionally, but nothing that’s throwing me off balance—she’s doing fine! 🤞 AN#4 – BT42 She’s asking for a bit more calcium here and there but continues to dominate BioBizz#1 in terms of development. EC: 2.5 pH: 6.4 Drain: pH 6.1 (EC not measurable due to organic soil). AN#3 – BT38 This plant is visually about 2 weeks behind the others. The space between her and the lamp is down to 1-2cm—a disaster, but there’s nothing I can do at this point. PPFD is off the charts (1200), but she’s handling it and developing beautiful buds. Big respect to this strain—the stretch was no joke! Humidity is well under control at

Most resistant plant i had to date. No problems ever.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of flowering. I got my 2 long and narrow paper bags out. The ones the french bread are in at the store. The ones with the long plastic window in them. I went to the male plant, that I have in a different greenhouse, and got some of the open flowers and pollen inside the paper bags. This is a good male. It has lots of flowers, not many leaves, is not too tall, and is good smelling with the "rub the stem and smell your fingers" test. And the smell stays on my fingers for a few minutes, not disappearing in a few seconds. Careful not to dump out the pollen I slid the bag over the buds I pick out. I pinched the bag around the branch and held it with a clothes peg. I gently shoock the bag to get the pollen to each flower pistil. When I closed up for the night I shoock up the bag again. I gently took the bags off the next morning, careful not to spray pollen all over the place, then went a got some more pollen for the next plants. and repeated for all 6 plants. Got some yellowing of some of the older leaves. This is sort of self pruning to me, but I will add some extra nitrogen next time to slow the yellowing. I've seen a few fungus gnats around, but nothing to worry about. Ok. The Adventure Goes On. Be Great. Chuck

Things are moving forward. My ladies seem to be doing well. “Josefine” is slowing down a bit, but still looks healthy. I took a few more chopsticks to help against the wind. But I can remove that now.

These all so fine this one I would say is but more Indica 2 was a bit more Sativa and 1 was about right down the middle Oh man she beautiful all 3 about same small diffrence but all had good indoor struckture and so far high flavor all remind me of Skunk#1 Easy to trim big dence buds

Came in well and has officially sprouted! I put it in soil and the hanging pot I'll be using for this grow. It's a small ~.5 or less gallon pot (tbh not 100% sure), thay I'm reusing from a plant I got at a nursery a while back. I thought it'd be neat to try and grow a hanging weed plant so now here we go! Will post when the sprout comes out

FBT1 is turning out to be a nice surprise, completely caught up, starting its flower stretch in earnest now. I'm really liking it's structure, stocky, stiff stems, thick leaves, tight internode spacing and bud sites coming on nicely. FBT1 got a co2 feeding, a foliar spray with kelp and micro, and a feeding with micro and beneficials. It's drinking more too, 3 more pints a week a total of 9 pints this week ! I went from worried to optimistic for this one ! Now the fun begins ! Hopefully i can get some nice macro pics in for y'all ! any suggestions or comments welcome 🚀

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 8 | Knowing When to Let Go Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Last week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A reminded me that every phenotype speaks its own language. This week, she had another message: Some leaves had simply done their job. At around 126 cm, she's continuing to develop beautifully, with her flowering sites becoming more defined and those beautiful white pistils multiplying across the plant. And as the flowers become the main event, it was time to give her a little more room to breathe. 🌿 Quick Recap Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of the more elegant plants in the room. She's maintained a strong, balanced structure with good spacing between flowering sites, while her flowers are steadily stacking along the branches. Compared with last week, the transition is becoming very clear: Less stretch. More flower. More pistils. More resin. The plant is increasingly putting her energy into building flowers rather than producing new structure. And that's exactly what we want to see at this stage. ✂️ A Little Cleaning Up This week we decided it was time for some selective defoliation. There were several older fan leaves that were no longer contributing much to the canopy. Some were sitting underneath other foliage, creating unnecessary shade, while others were simply aging and no longer playing an important role in the plant's current development. So rather than removing leaves just for the sake of making the plant look cleaner, we focused on removing what was no longer useful. The goal wasn't to strip her down. It was simply to improve: Light penetration Air movement Visibility of developing flowers Canopy organization Overall efficiency of the plant This is one of those moments where less really can be more. We're not trying to redesign the plant. We're simply helping her use the space she's already created. 🌸 White Hairs Taking Over The flowers are now becoming impossible to ignore. Fresh white pistils are emerging everywhere, wrapping around the developing buds and giving the entire plant that unmistakable early-to-mid flowering appearance. The individual flower sites are becoming much more pronounced, and the main colas are beginning to show their future shape. There's still plenty of development ahead, but we're moving beyond the stage of simply forming flowers. Now we're watching them build. And that's always one of my favourite parts of the journey. 🍃 The Foliage After last week's nutritional adjustment, the newer growth continues looking healthy and strong. The deep green leaves are still carrying plenty of energy, while the older foliage that had begun fading naturally is now being removed where appropriate. This is another good reminder of why I prefer to watch the whole plant rather than judge one leaf in isolation. A plant doesn't need every single leaf to remain perfect until harvest. Sometimes an older leaf has simply completed its mission. And that's okay. 🍽️ Feeding The AutoPot system continues providing consistent irrigation throughout the room. This week's nutrient mix remains: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus when required The reservoir remains shared across the room, so consistency is especially important. Chem Brûlée is responding beautifully to the current feeding strategy. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with very stable conditions: 🌡️ Day: 29°C 🌙 Night: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% 🌱 Root zone: 21°C 💦 Solution: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Stable conditions continue giving the plants the freedom to focus on what matters now: building flowers. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really show the transition. The close-ups capture those beautiful white pistils exploding from the developing flowers, while the wider shots show how much the plant has changed as flowering progresses. And after the selective defoliation, the architecture of the plant becomes easier to appreciate. The flowers aren't hidden behind quite as much unnecessary foliage anymore. They're there. They're developing. And they're asking for time. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week, I'm expecting the flowers to become increasingly dense and defined. The remaining stretch should be minimal now, while the plant continues putting energy into flower development and resin production. What I don't expect is dramatic intervention. No major training. No unnecessary stripping. No trying to force her into a shape she doesn't naturally want. We'll continue monitoring the foliage, keeping the environment stable, maintaining the reservoir and making only the adjustments the plant actually asks for. At this stage, the best thing we can give her is consistency and time. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me. Every comment, question and conversation makes this project more special. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, learn and share. 🍮 Zamnesia — for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for allowing us to discover just how different every phenotype can become. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the powerful lighting driving this garden. 🌿 LumiFlora — for helping illuminate those lower flowering sites with under-canopy lighting. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to every grower following along—whether you're commenting every week or simply watching quietly from the sidelines. This project is about more than growing plants. It's about learning to listen to them. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has another lesson for us this week: Sometimes knowing what to remove is just as important as knowing what to keep. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week! 🌱🍮💚

Time lapse 23rd June > Aug 21st 2020. Plenty of screwups - over/under watering+ feeding + pollenated the tent with one hermie, two plants throwing nannas (due to UV) out in the last two weeks and the major heatwave all did not help, This was totally my screw up and for that I still give this strain a solid 8/10. The tastes are nice although my first try of Runtz was in Cali and it is certainly another level over there. Unfortunately I did not get a pheno similar to that I smoked in the US but out of the 5 I did get I really enjoyed one of them which is hard hitting! Apologies for the time-lapse as its not always spot on and often other things took over. Stuff never goes the way you plan it in your head. Upon drying the temps were good and they dried okay. The reason why this is a write off is because one of the plants hermied and caused most of the plants to be pollenated. When I harvested I noticed a few nannas poking out so I'm not sure if I let them run too long, too much stress, underwatering, light intensity, the UV bar or heat stress. Anyways I didn't catch it and I have some well developed seeds. I think it's down to the UV bar causing the nannas but the seeds were ripe (tiger stipe brown) so didn't have enough time to grow and ripen. Seeing as I had deficiencies early on in flower - WK4 - I think it happened then. The PP and runtz all have seeds bar one plant (the nice gassy pheno) and the tent was cleaned with bleach, vacuumed and temps increased to over 100f with a heater after disinfecting. Nevertheless I will grow this again! it's all a learning curve! More bud shots to come when cured. Just over an 1oz per plant is pretty poor imo but again you live and learn from your screw up! Got to be on point with my watering next time! That's why I love hydro!

Day 64 02/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Day 66 04/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today only. Smell is really coming on strong now!! Day 68 06/09/24 Friday Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 69 07/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Mould 😔🤦‍♂️ Absolutely gutted!! Had a very humid past 3 days, wet with no wind... 2 plants have suffered... Auto Orange Bud has lost a side branch. Auto critical orange punch has lost her main colar, and 2 sides, the yeild is going be to now be appalling, but this is due to environmental, not the seed or genetics, as far as they go this was one of the strongest and biggest in the group Day 70 08/09/24 Sunday (END of week) Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. ☠️ Auto critical orange punch 🍊👊 Had to remove completely, after isolating the rest of the greenhouse, mould persistently grew on her. The remaining plants after 2 days isolation have been moved indoor to finish underground 600w hps and a more controlled environment.

Fixed all my calmag issues from last week thanx to your help. Turned out the plants where underfed with only 400ml water per feeding, so i increased the water and nutrient levels and included calmag. Smangies Bloomboss is a custom nutrient i have created for my autoflower. The plants seem to love the nutrients and i have been achieving some nice dense bud growth using this formula. Would you recommend organic autoflower nutrients?

CLOSE!!!!!! she is absolutely friggin caked with trichs!!!! just need her to plump up a little so we got some weight to her but she definelty looks potent af!!!!! only issue this run really was the stretching. I have a theory about why this happened and will test it out next crop, got the next ladies germed up already. I think removing the third fan allowed it to be to calm in there and the ladies to stretch more, this is just a theory i'll test out. If i had the space, i wouldnt mind the stretch but being in my little 5.5 x 5.5 tent i cant waste any space!!! am i going to break the tent record of just under 800 grams dried? probably not lol but lets hope for 600+

05/30 - (C) - As we closer to harvest all 8 ladies are running at full capacity with 0 issues - I will be increasing their nute feeds to 3 times a day and will be using more phosphate, potassium and Cane Molasses on the heavy feeds and Silica, Flower fuel, kelp and bloom for supplement feeds. The aroma from these girls is amazing, they have balanced notes of citrus, lavender and earthy notes. Follow my IG:Greenphoenix6262 for more content😎😎😎

here we are for the SSSC contest grow update. 14.06.2024 the two murphys sister grow well in their new soil. the litlle flowering one slowly get chunkier and the stunt one finally wake up and stretch nicelly ( she could be a chalenger) 18.06.2024 3 day of canicule have been annonce at 9h00 am the outside temp have reach 29°C, the room temp is at 33° and the grow tent is at 36°. to avoid any over heat stress to the sister they have been set outdoor for the heat wave. 20.06.2024 the outside temp hit 38°c today can t imagine how high it may have reach in the grow tent. The murphy sister really like the sun light the stunt one just grow 2 inch per day, she is now 3 time bigger then is sister... unfortunatelly she have been snap , almost unroot, by my neighbor dog. try to fix her best as i can. 21.06.2024 thunder storm alert today so the sun therappy is finish anyone return back to the growtent, the snaped sister look okay. maybe i will rescue her an other time. 22.06.2024 the injured sister look really bad this morning. and passed out by the end of the day. she haved been set to dried, the terps is so amazing, kind of a woody sun ripped cherry crumble. 04.07.2024 the RIP murphys sister is dry, she gave me 1g of tinny fluffy bud sticky like hell and smelling like heavent

Going into week 4 looking lovely growth is great

I have to dry the buds in the dark at 20 degrees with 50% humidity

Because i'm away for two weeks the only thing I can do is upload screenshots off of the vivo time lapse camera.A half set in the room Dad sent me a video of the plants. Uploaded both
