🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B
Week 6 | Elegance in Every Leaf
Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure!
One of the greatest joys of a phenotype hunt is discovering that every plant has its own personality.
Some demand attention with explosive growth.
Some race toward the finish line.
Others quietly develop into something special without ever asking to be the centre of attention.
Cash Express Pheno B belongs to that last group.
She isn't the tallest plant in the room.
She isn't the fastest.
She isn't trying to compete with anyone.
She's simply growing exactly as she wants to—and every week she becomes a little more beautiful because of it.
🌿 A Plant That Speaks Through Her Leaves
One of the first things that catches my eye every time I visit this lady is her foliage.
Large, perfectly formed seven-finger fan leaves stretch confidently toward the light, creating one of the cleanest leaf structures in the entire room.
They're deep green.
Healthy.
Symmetrical.
Every leaf almost looks like it was carefully drawn before nature decided to build it.
For me, leaves tell an important part of a plant's story.
Long before the flowers reach their full potential, healthy foliage tells us that the engine driving everything underneath is working exactly as it should.
And this engine is running beautifully.
🌼 The Flowering Story Begins
Flower development is now becoming more obvious throughout the canopy.
The first clusters of white pistils continue multiplying, and what were small pre-flowers only a week ago are now beginning to resemble true bud sites.
This is one of my favourite stages of cultivation.
Every day the changes are subtle...
Yet when you compare photographs from one week to the next, it's amazing how quickly those tiny flowers begin stacking into something much more impressive.
She's still directing a good portion of her energy toward the final stretch, but you can already see that her priorities are changing.
Less focus on producing new branches.
More focus on building flowers.
Week by week, she'll continue shifting her energy away from growing taller and toward creating the dense blooms we're all waiting for.
🍃 Sometimes the Best Training Is No Training
This week has been wonderfully uneventful.
No defoliation.
No heavy training.
No major adjustments.
Just a little gentle leaf tucking whenever a fan leaf decided to shade a developing flower site.
I've learned over the years that these early flowering weeks are often best approached with patience rather than scissors.
The plant is making enormous hormonal changes during this transition, and I prefer disturbing her as little as possible while she settles into her new rhythm.
Sometimes growers feel the need to do something every day.
Sometimes the smartest decision is simply to observe.
This week, observation was more than enough.
🍽️ Feeding
The nutrition program continues supporting both the final stretch and early flower development.
This week's feeding included:
• Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L
• Pure Zym – 1 ml/L
• Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L
• Power Buds – 1 ml/L
Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus whenever necessary.
Unlike some of her sisters, Pheno B isn't asking for much more just yet.
A few older leaves have begun naturally giving back some stored nutrients, but nothing suggests she's under stress.
It's simply another reminder that plants recycle energy where it's needed most.
For now, she's happy.
And so am I.
🌡️ Environment
The flowering room continues running exactly as planned.
• Day temperature averaged 29°C
• Night temperature remained around 25°C
• Relative humidity averaged 60%
• Solution temperature stayed close to 24°C
• Root zone remained near 21°C
• Atmospheric CO₂ averaged 639 ppm
With stable environmental conditions and consistent feeding, the plant can dedicate nearly all of her energy to flower production instead of constantly adapting to changing conditions.
Consistency is often the secret ingredient behind healthy gardens.
📸 Behind This Week's Photos
This week's photographs highlight something I absolutely love about this phenotype.
The architecture is incredibly elegant.
The internode spacing is balanced.
The branching remains clean and open.
And those beautiful seven-finger fan leaves frame every developing flower site almost perfectly.
The close-up shots reveal fresh pistils reaching confidently into the light, while the full-plant photographs show a structure that should provide excellent airflow throughout flowering.
There's a calm confidence about this plant.
She isn't trying to impress anyone.
She simply looks comfortable being herself.
Sometimes those are the phenotypes that surprise you the most by harvest day.
🔍 Looking Ahead
Next week should mark another exciting step in her journey.
I expect the stretch to begin slowing as the flowers take over as the plant's primary focus.
Those small clusters of pistils should begin stacking together, giving us our first glimpse of the colas she'll eventually produce.
We'll continue with the same philosophy:
Minimal interference.
Gentle leaf tucking when necessary.
Careful observation.
And letting the plant decide the pace.
Sometimes the best growers aren't the ones who do the most.
They're the ones who know when to simply watch nature do what it has perfected over millions of years.

Hey guys everything is going great with these ladies all 6 germinated and popped up in 3 days after planting 1 of the six shooters is a lot smaller than its sisters so I've order LEMON PIE from FASTBUDS should be here tomorrow to take its place and I'm going to move the six shooter outside so if you would like to see its journey comment and like bellow ⤵️
The only thing I wish I did differently would of been starting these girls under a cfl or a cheap led to stop stretching but lesson learned if anyone has any question's please comment and thank-you all for your support ✌️

Everything going strong.
Baby Yoda spreading his ears.
One leaf started to curl a bit. Maybe too much water?
Starting nutes tomorrow.
The more leaves. Wanted to start nutes but soil is too moist.
Will hold off for another day. Just misting the surface.
Started with Fox Farm at 1/3 dosage as my soil had organic nutes in it already. Starting slowly.
Saw a gnat running around. Stopped water and misting. Put some packing tape in. Should be ok. 😁
Temperature is creeping up as I add more light. Maybe increase distance soon.
Increased the light distance. Leaves were looking a little baked. Maybe too hot as well.

I forgot to measure my plants last week, but it seems they have gained some leaves and some height! I’m waiting for the weather to be warmer to put them outside.
28-05-2025
I transplanted my plant to the vegetable garden. It grows between nasturtiums, tomatoes and fava beans. Three weeks ago I added green Culterra (N10-P4-K6) to my soil. I hope the soil absorbed it and my plants can benefit from it.
My Purplematic CBD looks like it started some flowering already. It’s still very small, but she grows some white hairs on top?

@MephistoGenetics,
Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries.
This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow.
First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom.
The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters.
It provides a floor area of 3.6 square meters.
I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps.
I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside.
The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement.
Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement.
I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition.
I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me.
But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important.
Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days.
I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out.

2017-08-29.
Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary.
I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine.
Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here.
I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops.
I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden.
This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it.

I'm lowering her nutes slowly and picking up thus past week. I'm down to 200 -300 ppm going in and I still got over 1000 ppm runoff. I'm going to just give her PhD water and get the runoff to 400.
Only 1 leaf faded 2 or 3 weeks ago but nothing else major. The leafs are looking like they are trying to fade but nothing noticeable and most are still green. Her tricomes are less clear now but it has seemed like this will be a reg photo. Could be what I did on my end for it to be almost week 9 or 10.
I want the leafs to fade more before I pull and see some amber tricomes.
We did chop a branch and let it dry in the tent above the light. Someone, not me was anxious to try lol. It dried in 3 or 4 days lol. will say it was not harse one bit. Smoke was white. I felt a little something but nothing to be like whoa. I felt it for like 5 mins in my head. The smell was amazing. Not as potent because of thr way it was dried. It broke down nice. The smell stood out more when I broke it down. I broke it down with my hands. I did a dry hit and taste nice and hit of sweetness. I rolled a wrap and smoked that first. I put the rest in my vape and had the same outcome. It was very dense. Didn't take pix of weigh it sorry. Forgot to add we cut a small piece off as in the pixels. We smoked the big nut and thr small ones in the vape. Nice clean hit.
That makes me question the flushing aspect but this is my first grow so will see when I do a proper dry.
I can't wait to cut these bad girls.
i need a break 😩.
I started lowering the feed last week slowly but found out my runoff is not really changing. 🙃
It had been hard to keep the humidity down when lights are off. I have a big dehumidifier on my ac but it doesn't work like I want, it likes to shut off constantly and the ac only works keeping it down but if it's to cold the humidity goes up. If it get to cold in the lung room the ac blows out humid air and that goes straight into the tent. Also where I live one day the humidity could be over 90% and that night or next day be in the 30%. And it summer it's like low 20 or 30s and rises at night. Our nights usually cool down to the 60s in the summer.
So a little worried about drying. I was thinking of getting a small portable dehumidifier inside the tent.
Other than that she's looking like she's almost ready.
