Day 14: This week I'm increasing the humidity inside the tent with a wet towel and containers with water. I also removed the half bottles that were over the plants to generate extra humidity, because they got burned because of that, as you can see in the leaves, there are some brown snipes. Day 15: I added a towel and containers with water inside the tent to increase humidity, I managed to bring it up to 67% in some parts of the day. Day 16: I'm convinced Mario has thrips. I will add Potasium Soap in a couple days to kill any thrips possibility, and also add a moistmeter in the soil to know exactly if I'm overwatering or not. Day 18: Started with the feeding. Rizothonic + Vega at 25% of the recommended dosage. Added just 12ml of water on each plant. I don't want to overwater. Also added a new fan to the setup. Day 19: Added Potasium soap to the leaves during the dark hours. They look better already. Day 20: Added water + Solution of water with 25% nutrients I already created on day 18. I'm going reeeally slow with nutrients. D21: Forgot to make photos. Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plants, to avoid any pests.

What up fam, weekly update on these lovely ladies. I put the scrog net out this week for support and am I glad I did. Only after a couple days they grew right through it. The greenhouse is 6'5 feet tall and they're pushing 5'6. I'll go in there and take off some of the lower fan leafs at the bottom but not to much defoliation needed. I'm seeing preflowers so I'll also switch the nutes from grow to bloom. All in all Happy Growing.

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 11 Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno B Hungry, Frosty & Still Asking for More ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here we go again... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B. If you've been following her diary, you already know this girl has never really been shy about expressing herself. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. And she's definitely not the quiet girl in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But this week, something interesting happened. The plant itself didn't need much from me. The room changed. The lighting system received a serious upgrade. The nutrition moved forward slightly. And then... we stepped back. Because at this stage of flowering, sometimes the most important thing we can do is provide what the plant needs and let her get on with the job. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B? She's doing exactly that. She's still shining. She's still hungry. She's still building. And she's still very much herself. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 11 โ€“ Let Her Keep Building Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B remains around 130 cm, maintaining that taller, more open architecture that has separated her from her sister throughout this journey. And honestly... I'm really enjoying watching what she's doing with that structure. The height isn't the story anymore. The flowers are. The plant has already established her architecture. The branches are positioned. The flowering sites are developing. And now we're watching that framework slowly become something much more substantial. This is the stage where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's using the environment. So... let her work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Yes... She's Still Hungry If there's one thing Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has made extremely clear throughout this grow, it's that she has an appetite. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ She seems to look at the environment we've created and say: "Okay... what else have you got?" And while we obviously don't make nutritional decisions based purely on appearance, her vigorous growth and continued flower development make her a very interesting phenotype to observe. She's using resources. She's producing new floral development. She's maintaining her foliage. She's processing all that available light. And she's continuing to build. So yes... our hungry girl is still hungry. And we're listening. We're not throwing everything at her. We're not changing things dramatically. We're simply making measured adjustments and watching the response. That's the approach. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Becoming Part of Her Personality One of the things becoming increasingly difficult to ignore is the resin. The frost is developing beautifully. When you look at the plant from a distance, you see her overall architecture. Move closer... and suddenly the story changes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Trichomes. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny details everywhere. That's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. The wide photograph tells you where the plant is. The macro photograph starts telling you what she's becoming. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is becoming increasingly interesting. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction? I really like it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Taking Shape The developing flowers continue becoming more defined. Those long white pistils are still reaching outward from the developing structures, giving the flowers that almost explosive appearance we've been watching. But underneath those hairs, something more substantial is happening. The buds are gaining structure. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And the plant is slowly moving away from: "I have flowering sites." toward: "I'm building flowers." That's the transition we're watching now. And because Pheno B has such a distinctive structure, it's particularly satisfying to see those flowers developing throughout her branches. The architecture is becoming the foundation. The flowers are becoming the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก The 8ร—8 Just Got A Serious Photon Upgrade Now let's talk about the biggest change this week. The plants themselves didn't need much intervention. But the lighting environment received a major upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the 8ร—8. And... yes. We definitely noticed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก The available light increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running everything harder, we reduced the output. We're currently running at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of available light. And I much prefer having that capacity available while controlling how much of it we're actually using. We're not chasing the biggest number possible. We're looking for the level that makes sense for the plants and the room. And right now... I'm very happy with where we've landed. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I particularly like about the new setup. We now have considerably more lighting capability. But we're not obligated to use all of it. We added the two additional fixtures. We measured the result. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Now we're around 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're also saving electricity compared with simply running all the fixtures at maximum output. That's a win for me. We're testing the fixtures properly. We're learning what they can do. We're finding a practical operating point. And we're not wasting power just because we have it available. That's exactly what I wanted from this lighting upgrade. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Future Of Grow โ€“ A Big Thank You A special shout-out this week to Future of Grow. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8ร—8 Adventure. And now we're putting them to work. Real room. Real flowering plants. Real measurements. Real adjustments. The additional fixtures gave us more lighting capability than we initially wanted, so we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And I'm genuinely happy with the balance. Strong lighting. More control. Lower power consumption than running everything flat out. And twelve different plants showing us how they respond. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these additional fixtures and see what they can do in a real grow environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Chem Brรปlรฉe Under The New Artificial Sun And here's where things get fascinating. The lighting environment has changed. But Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B hasn't suddenly become another plant. She's still tall. Still vigorous. Still hungry. Still beautifully structured. Still developing those flowers. Still frosting up. That's the beauty of genetics. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. But the plant decides what to do with them. The same light can fall on two phenotypes and produce two completely different stories. And Pheno B is continuing to write hers. She's taking that available energy and putting it toward what she does best: growing. Building. Flowering. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD Across The Upper Canopy The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're currently seeing is across the upper canopy. And with Pheno B, that distinction is particularly important. She's a tall plant. Her flowers and leaves occupy different levels. The top of the plant sees stronger direct illumination. The middle receives a different intensity. The inner areas receive less direct exposure. And lower parts of the structure naturally receive something different again. That's completely normal. A plant isn't a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional solar field. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ Our goal isn't to make every single flower receive identical light. It's to create a strong, useful lighting environment while allowing the plant to use the available photons effectively. And that's why the ability to control the output is so valuable. We can provide a very powerful artificial sun without necessarily running it at maximum intensity. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก Photons Are Only One Part Of The Equation I've talked about photons throughout this project because they're fundamental to what we're doing. But they're never the entire story. Light interacts with temperature. Temperature interacts with transpiration. Water availability affects nutrient movement. Root-zone conditions influence uptake. Nutrition supports development. COโ‚‚ influences photosynthetic potential. Plant structure determines how photons move through the canopy. Everything is connected. That's why I don't want to simply keep increasing light because we can. The objective is balance. Give the plant strong usable light. Keep the environment appropriate. Maintain irrigation. Support nutrition. Observe. And adjust when the plant actually tells us something needs changing. Right now? Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is telling us she's happy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ Nutrition โ€“ A Small Step Forward We've also made a small adjustment to the flowering nutrition this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒฑ Terra Bloom โ€” 2.3 ml/L The rest of the recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ pH adjustment as required That small increase brought the EC up slightly. We're now around: โšก EC โ€” 2.14 mS/cm Again... small adjustment. Small movement. Measured response. We're not trying to reinvent the feeding programme. The plants are developing beautifully. So we're simply giving the flowering nutrition a small progression and watching how they respond. And our hungry girl? She's certainly giving us plenty to watch. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€“ Let The System Keep Doing Its Job The irrigation system remains consistent. We're currently around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with approximately: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature โ€” 25ยฐC ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate temperature โ€” 25ยฐC At this stage, consistency becomes increasingly important. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a reliable root environment. She needs water. She needs nutrition. She needs oxygen around the roots. And then... she needs time. So that's what we're giving her. The system continues doing its job in the background while we concentrate on observation. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 11 โ€“ Current Environment The room is currently running approximately: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 26.5ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 6.02 โ€ข โšก EC: 2.14 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ? Pot Size: 15 L โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ Plant Height: approximately 130 cm The environment remains broadly stable. Summer still likes to remind us that absolute precision isn't always possible. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ So the objective isn't chasing one perfect number. It's maintaining a stable overall environment. Avoiding unnecessary swings. Watching the plants. And responding when something actually needs attention. Right now... Pheno B looks very comfortable. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ No Need To Manufacture Work This is probably one of the biggest themes of this week's report. We're not doing much to the plants. And that's intentional. Earlier in the grow, we had plenty of work. Training. Structure. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. But now? The plant has done most of the building. She's created the architecture. She's established the flowering sites. She's developed the canopy. She's now putting her energy into the flowers. So I'm not going to manufacture work simply because I feel like I should be doing something. Healthy leaves are working. Flowers are developing. The plant is healthy. Air is moving. Light is available. Nutrition is consistent. Water is being delivered. Sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is leave a healthy plant alone. And our hungry girl seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ She's Putting Those Photons Somewhere This is what I really enjoy about looking at Pheno B now. We can actually see the result of all that invisible energy. The photons are arriving. The leaves are capturing light. The plant is processing that energy. And the visible result is right there: More flower structure. More definition. More resin. More development. The plant itself becomes the record of what's happening. And Pheno B is giving us a pretty impressive record. She's not sitting still. She's working. Hard. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Is Still Loving Her And once again... this girl is fun to photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The full-plant shots show that tall, open architecture. The middle-distance photographs show how the flowers are distributed through the branches. And then you get closer... and suddenly the frame becomes pistils, resin and flower structure. That's the beauty of photographing the same plant every week. You stop relying on memory. You can actually compare. Week after week. Flower after flower. Change after change. And when you look back at the early photographs? The difference is remarkable. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has travelled a long way. And she's not finished yet. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Same Environment. Completely Her Own Answer. This is still the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared general lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. And yet... twelve individual stories. Pheno B is another perfect example. She isn't Pheno A. She isn't one of the compact girls. She isn't one of the quieter phenotypes. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. And she's developing her flowers in her own particular way. The environment gives her the opportunity. The genetics decide how she uses it. And honestly? I really like her answer. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ The Hungry Girl Is Still Hungry If I had to choose one sentence for this week's report, it would probably be: "She's still asking for more." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ More photons. More time. More room to build. More opportunity to develop. And we're giving her those things in a controlled way. Not blindly. Not excessively. But consistently. The new lighting gives us additional capacity. The small nutritional increase gives the flowering programme a little more room. The irrigation keeps the root environment supplied. The environment remains stable. And then... we watch. That's the relationship between grower and plant at this stage. We provide. She responds. We observe. And when necessary... we adjust. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ The Lighting Experiment Continues The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have added another fascinating layer to this project. We now have substantially more lighting capability than before. But the interesting result isn't simply the maximum output. It's finding the useful operating point. The PPFD initially went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the fixtures to approximately 59% power from the plug. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're doing it while using less electricity than running the fixtures at maximum output. That's exactly the kind of practical information I wanted from this experiment. The hardware gives us the capability. The measurements tell us what is actually happening. And the plants tell us whether they like it. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B? So far... she's looking pretty happy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead From here, the plan remains beautifully simple. Keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep the environment stable. Keep irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep monitoring the lighting. And let Pheno B continue doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: ๐ŸŒธ Continued flower development โ„๏ธ Increasing resin coverage ๐ŸŒฟ Healthy foliage ๐Ÿ’ก Response to the stronger lighting environment ๐Ÿ’ง Water demand ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental stability ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Air movement through the canopy ๐Ÿ“ˆ Increasing flower density and definition No need to force the next chapter. She's already writing it. We'll simply be here to document it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ Final Thoughts โ€“ Let This Hungry Girl Shine Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B continues to be exactly what she has shown us throughout this journey. Tall. Vigorous. Hungry. Beautiful. Distinctive. And increasingly frosty. This week, we didn't need to do much to her. And that's a good thing. We added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We measured the increased light. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now sitting around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We increased Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 to 2.3 ml/L. The EC moved a little higher to approximately 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because she's doing her job. She's taking the photons. She's using the water. She's using the nutrition. She's building flowers. She's producing resin. She's becoming more and more herself. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. The goal isn't to make her behave like another phenotype. It's to give her the opportunity to show us what she can become. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is definitely taking that opportunity. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ So keep shining, hungry girl. Keep building. Keep frosting up. Keep showing us what your particular expression of Chem Brรปlรฉe can become. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these individual stories. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the journey and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the nutrition and growing programme throughout this adventure. And a massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8ร—8. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, reduce the output and find a practical operating point has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also keeping electricity consumption lower than simply running everything at full power. That's real-world testing. That's what I like. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy and giving us another perspective on three-dimensional lighting. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. You're all part of the adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is writing hers with an appetite. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ She's hungry. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's developing some gorgeous flowers. And she's still asking for more. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how far this hungry girl wants to take us. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ Until next week... Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฎ

Strawberry Trop Cherry W5 12/7-13 Important dates 11/9 Germination 11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal, 12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves 12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves Nutrients: 12/8 Aptus Regulator .75/gal Aptus startbooster 2.5 /g Molasses .5tbsp/g Manuka Honey .5tbsp/g Ph 6.44, ppm 275 62.7f 12/10Flora micro 5ml/g Flora grow 5ml/g Cal Mag 1.5ml/g Recharge 2.5ml/g 5.97 ph, 539 ppm, 62.6f 12/13 Grow Time 8ml/g Plant Juice 2 TBSP/g Cal Mag 1.5ml/g 6.45ph, 537ppm, 62.4f The Strawberryโ€™s received 1 liter 2 times on 12/8, 11, 13. Cadillac 1 got an extra 500ml on 13th. All the gals bounced back after the topping. The FIM I attempted on Cadillac1 did not work. I will let her grow out as is, maybe some LST. This gal already drinks more than the others and after I took pictures, 2 big fan leaves show nitrogen deficiency. So, she needs more food than the others. All the girls had 5-6 inches of growth this week.

Ola, sejam todos bem vindos e uma รณtima semana pra todos๐Ÿ™ Acredito que estรก correndo tudo bem com a planta, cresceram 4 cm dรชs de que fiz o รบltimo vรญdeo. Fiz a primeira rega com 500 ml de รกgua com PH correto, na 3ยฐ semana vou iniciar com a primeira rega com fertilizantes e estou pensando em fazer um Treinamento leve nela para controlar o tamanho e gerar mais ramos. Porรฉm tenho medo de estressar a planta por ser automรกtica e ela comeรงar a florescer precoce, Eai o que vocรชs acham? Serei grato pelas dicas ๐Ÿ™

What up everyone. I hope all are having a great weekend. These ladies are doing good now, since I got the ph back on track. I did switch from grow to Bloom nutes this week adding a pk booster to the feed. I'll be doing a defoliation and lollipoping this coming week since I didn't want to last week with the ph imbalance i was having, I thought it'd be to much. All in all Happy Growing as they're looking good.

As I mentioned earlier this strain is may be the easiest I have ever grown with a decent harverst in terms of weight. It took 104 days from seed to harvest and she produced 1.200 grams of wet bud, which will be around 20% - 25% of dried weight. The smell is great, the buds are heavy on thc and excellent looking. Recommending it for a not experienced grower definitely. On the downside it did not yield the 340 grams I have managed to harverst from Barney's LSD Auto, or as I want to call it the Champion, but its easier than Pineapple Express and can produce more weight.

12/10 Week 11 Wow last week on Layla so bread and water hold the carbs for her now on. Doubt if Maggie will be finished but may be forced to move her on anyway, we will see. I would hate that Gotta decide soon on feeding her as they will need water tomorrow 12/11 Its decided Maggie will be allowed to finish off and I will find a way to keep em all happy. Something special may be happening there, want to see it. Layla though is about done just some ripening and then harvest. one gal each @6.4, Layla just water, Maggie got the PK boost 12/ml but remember there is a good bit of Dr. Earth still in the pot so cant really starve em. Update Ok here is the plan. Another grow in veg has yet to get into flower which is great though its due just any day, feeding it some bloom nuets in the mix to keep it in veg... we hope. But when it goes into flowering stretch at least one needs to rotate into the flower tent so harvest Layla, one may remain in the small tent till Maggie goes. Best I can do 12/13 Some camera time with lights on just getting used to it. Canopy looks great guys considering whats in there LOL 12/14 Just pics and we have decided to let these go as long as they want as the other grow is happy where it is for now. After looking close there are still some clear tricones on both so waiting is it 12/16 Maggie's buds have gotten so heavy I had to make a quick trellis out of 3 ft stakes and twine to support them and give the rest of the tent room. Pics above She has come a long way from a sick little plant err guys? Seriously thinking of dropping Brandy from the grow totals, she was just so stunted just one of Laylas buds is going to out produce her.
