July 4th *** PurpsBerry is in Flower *** - calling this week-2 Flower because her Branches are covered in them. Yes it brings questions into the genetics… here in week 14 of Veg… at least we will have something to smoke while Harvesting the rest - on July 2 purpsberry had the soil amended to Bloom Fertilizers, Compost, worm castings etc and her next meal is Bloom nutes - rOOF95, CloudWalker will drink on some Root Boost when they are next thirsty (6th, fed) 8th - PurpsBerry was fed 2 gallons and Bloom Microbes were used for the first time. Diet change here we go

So had a reet little photo shoot today.. loving these plants the buds are gonna be something special.. this plant does NOT like a lot of feed.. I have burned some of the leaves pretty badly by adding slightly too much nutes.. how ever it doesn't seem to have stunted bud swell much.. had to tie a couple of side branches up as buds be pretty dense and heavy allready.. cannot wait to crop. Smells amazing.

Everything worked out just fine

Hello m8 welcome to this journey with me in this diary will have very interesting strains hope u find something useful Persi - [ ] 1st week Veg: germinated in substrate lighting very close so it jets medium high humidity after the 3rd day they started sprouting - [ ] 2nd week Veg: this week my ventilator broke down and as the temperature stayed very warm nothing developed much - [ ] 3rd week Veg:fortunately this week i had fixed the ventilation and the temperature has go down a bit allowing the little plants to develop and reinforce - [ ] 4th week:very good developments in this week I already started feeding a bit two times but i didn’t have to…once was enough - [ ] 5th week Veg:this week they were very strong green i only had to water them good and keep the ventilators going no stop .They have good hight already ,but as i have to strains together. I want to transplant them when the hight of the other one have stretched… I’m thinking to transplant next week if not the next one - [ ] 6th week Veg: this week it went great fortunatly i dont have pests that eat my buds i’ve givven a fed once the substrate is very rich already the plants streached very well i will transplant today so be ready m8 i cant wait to show you the progress - [ ] 1st week Fl:they started stretching and looking very healthy just transplanted - [ ] 2nd week Fl this week I’ve been away i had a friend taking care of them they stretching very well i hope that she starts putting energy into the flo - [ ] 3rd week Fl:they are streaching very well ..getting the light very well - [ ] 4th week Fl:there we aree guys the good stage is heree good high hope dosent effect de prod - [ ] 5th week Fl:pumping very good this week a lot of changes started already being frosty - [ ] 6th week Fl:this diaries its not daily updated this week its going’s so great we are close to harvest between next week and the other one . Ill harvest them at diffrent time just because they are not all at the same point of flowi - [ ] 7th week Fl: im so satisfied from the way that this is going they didnt had any particular stress just that its 29 degrees during light and its going good so farr I haven’t constantly fed like on the peach g and pcr i hope for better taste at the end

Last couple of weeks she's been affected by high tent temps, hence all her curled leaves 😓 She is also a big plant in her little 10L fabric pot. I've noticed fabric pots really do dry out faster than airpots. That is a good thing, but you have to watch her drying out too quickly also! I think she'd make a monster plant in a 20L or 40L airpot.😍

Plant 1: This was the highly trained and defoliated plant. It stayed the shortest and doesn't have very dense nugs likely because of its distance from the lights given the height of plants 2 and 3. Ended up with 2.5oz after 9 days of hanging. Plant 3: This was the second most highly trained plant. Not as much tying down so has some height. Nugs are more dense than plant 1. Ended up with 3.2oz after 10 days of hanging. OMG!!! Plant 2: dried and jarred. Final weight... 10.6oz!!! that's a total of 16.4oz for 3 autos! I'm so pumped...🤯😍🤘🤓📉00

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot. As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time. These are the smallest and the biggesr plant, one seed didn't germenated and that's why I had to put a Red Gorilla. Not sure I will try a main mlinning on auto flowering strains any more.... but I think I did it wrong, first I took the one that seemed less strong for the experiment, and having 2 other plants to compete for lights. FIM is definetly a technique I will reuse if needed. It's so nice to have these genetic contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes. Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious. 19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday. I finally have received, lately a portable microscope, will be more ususeful next year! But this confirms that lower buds might have need more maturity but did the choice to not over complicate by harvesting in 2 times, my indoor tent is also my drying tent, and I wouldn't have any other place to dry the upper buds separetly while allowing the remaining to harvvest with more maturity. In general I think I might have began the Final part too early. BTW, we smoked the popcorn bud, and it's very promissing, we liked it.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 9 | My Sister Has Her Own Story 🌿🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And once again, this room is reminding me why growing different phenotypes side by side is so fascinating. Because sometimes you can look at two plants and think: "These two are sisters." You can see the family resemblance. The general structure. The flowering behaviour. The way they develop. But then you look a little closer... And you realize: they are absolutely writing their own stories. Cash Express Pheno B is one of those girls. She's growing in the same room as her sister, under essentially the same conditions, with the same general feeding strategy, lighting philosophy and irrigation system. And yet... she has her own personality. She's beautiful. She's lush. She's developing an impressive flowering structure. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. So this week, let's put the spotlight where it belongs. On her. 🚂🌿🌸 🌱 Week 9 – She's Finding Her Shape Cash Express Pheno B has continued developing beautifully this week, reaching approximately 93 cm. And while height isn't everything, that number does tell us something interesting when we compare her with her sister. Pheno A has remained the smaller, more compact expression. Pheno B has taken a different route. She's taller. She's more extended through the structure. Her branches are distributed differently. And the flowering sites are developing along that architecture in their own unique way. But what's really interesting is that despite those differences... there is still a recognizable family resemblance. You look at her and know you're looking at Cash Express. But this is her version of Cash Express. And I absolutely love that. 🌿 Lush Green & Full of Life The first thing that catches my eye this week is her colour. She's green. Beautifully, deeply and consistently green. The foliage is looking lush and healthy, and the plant has that unmistakable appearance of a girl with plenty of energy left to put into flowering. This is one of those plants where you can almost feel the vigor when you're standing next to her. She's not looking tired. She's not looking like she's struggling. She's not trying to tell us that something is wrong. She's simply growing. And growing beautifully. That makes my job much easier. Instead of trying to fix something that isn't broken, I can simply observe, support and allow her to continue doing what she's already doing so well. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious And then we get to the real stars of the show. The flowers. Wow. The developing buds are becoming increasingly defined, and the pistils are absolutely beautiful. We're seeing those long, bright hairs emerging from the flowers in all directions. They're still predominantly fresh and light in colour, with some of the warmer tones we've been noticing in this phenotype. And the flower structures themselves are becoming much more substantial. This is no longer just a collection of early flowering sites. We're starting to see actual bud architecture developing. The individual flowers are beginning to connect and build their shape. There's still a long way to go before we see the finished product, of course. But this is exactly the stage where the potential starts becoming easier to appreciate. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving us plenty to look at. 🚂 Same Sister. Different Personality. This is probably the biggest story of this week's update. Pheno A and Pheno B are sisters. Same cultivar. Same room. Same basic environment. Same irrigation. Same overall nutrition. Same 12/12-from-seed approach. And yet... look at them. Pheno A has her own compact and efficient architecture. Pheno B has developed a different structure, with more height and a different distribution of flowering sites. Neither one is better. Neither one is worse. They're simply different. And that's the whole reason I'm documenting them separately. I don't want to reduce the story to: "Cash Express did well this week." I want to know how each phenotype does well. What does she naturally want to become? How does she build flowers? How does she use the available space? How does she respond to the same environment? What characteristics remain consistent between sisters? And what characteristics separate them? That's where the real fun is. ✂️ A Little Cleaning – Nothing Dramatic We've also continued doing a little selective cleaning around the room. And, as always, this isn't about following a calendar. There isn't a rule saying: "Week 9 = remove X amount of leaves." That's not how I want to grow this project. We're reading the plants. For Cash Express Pheno B, we've removed a few leaves here and there where they weren't contributing much anymore or where opening a little space made sense. Nothing aggressive. Nothing dramatic. We're not trying to strip this beautiful green girl. Quite the opposite. She has plenty of healthy foliage, and I want to keep it working for her. The objective is simply to maintain a sensible canopy, allow light and air to move through the plant, and keep the developing flowers visible and accessible. Sometimes a single leaf in exactly the wrong place can block an entire flowering site. Remove that one leaf? Perfect. Remove twenty more just because you're already holding the scissors? Not necessarily. 😂✂️ Selective beats automatic. 💨 Airflow Becomes More Important As these flowers continue developing, maintaining good airflow becomes increasingly important. We're now dealing with larger and denser flowering structures than we were a few weeks ago. That means I want to avoid unnecessary pockets of stagnant air inside the canopy. The small amount of selective cleaning helps open things up without compromising the plant's overall ability to photosynthesize. And because we're working with a room containing twelve different plants, keeping the canopy reasonably open also helps the environment itself. Better air movement. Better exchange around the foliage. Fewer overly crowded areas. And a little more breathing room for everybody. We're not trying to create a sterile environment. We're simply trying to give the plants the conditions they need to remain healthy while the flowers continue developing. 💡 Light From Above – And Inside One of the things I really enjoy about this particular setup is that we're not relying entirely on light from directly above. The main Future of Grow Black Series lighting provides the primary canopy intensity, while the additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps bring usable light into areas that would otherwise receive considerably less. And Cash Express Pheno B's structure makes that especially interesting. She's not a completely flat wall of foliage. Her branches occupy different levels and angles throughout the plant. That creates opportunities for light to reach different flowering sites. At the same time, we're still paying attention to canopy density and selectively opening areas where appropriate. It's a combination of lighting and plant architecture. And once again, the plant itself changes how the lighting system behaves. ⚗️ Feeding – Consistency Is the Name of the Game The nutrition programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required Current solution: ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm And this girl certainly doesn't look like she's complaining. That beautiful green colour, active flowering and continued development are all telling me that she's comfortable with the current strategy. So why change it? We don't need to keep adjusting things simply because we're moving through the calendar. She's responding. We're observing. And for now, stability wins. The plants get the final vote. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues running with a stable flowering environment: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% 🥥 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – ~639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h The interesting part is that the room conditions are shared across the plants, but their responses remain very individual. That's exactly what we wanted from this experiment. The environment gives us the baseline. The genetics provide the differences. 🔬 Reading the Plant Instead of Reading the Calendar One of the biggest lessons this run continues teaching me is that the calendar is useful... but the plant is more useful. Week numbers help us document development. They help us compare one update with another. But they don't tell us exactly what every plant needs on a particular day. Cash Express Pheno B doesn't care that another plant is ready for something. She doesn't care what Pheno A is doing. She has her own root system. Her own structure. Her own metabolism. Her own genetic expression. And that's what I'm trying to respect. If she needs a little cleaning, we clean. If she doesn't... we leave her alone. If she responds well to the current feeding... we keep it stable. If something changes... we adapt. Simple. 📸 Behind the Lens And once again, this girl is making my job behind the camera very easy. The close-ups show just how much the flowers have developed. Those pistils are becoming one of the most recognizable characteristics of this phenotype. Long. Bright. Abundant. Almost exploding from the developing flowers. Then you step back and see the whole plant... and the story changes again. Now you see the structure. The height. The branch distribution. The amount of flowering happening throughout the plant. And that beautiful green canopy surrounding everything. This is why I love documenting individual phenotypes. A wide photograph tells you what the plant looks like. A macro photograph starts telling you who she is. 🌿 My Little Jungle Is Getting Better Every Week And I have to say... I'm having so much fun with this run. Sometimes I walk into the room and genuinely feel like I'm stepping into my own little jungle. 😂🌿 I'm moving between plants. Checking underneath leaves. Looking at flowers. Looking at the structure. Taking photographs. Finding something new. Then moving to the next plant and discovering that she's doing something completely different. It's almost like visiting twelve little worlds inside one room. And that's probably one of the biggest reasons I'm enjoying this project so much. I'm learning constantly. I'm adapting constantly. And I'm getting better at understanding that sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply slow down and observe. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next stage should become increasingly exciting. The foundation is there. The flowering sites are established. The plant is healthy. And now we want to see those flowers continue developing their size, density and character. Over the next week I'll be watching for: 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further pistil development 💎 Increasing resin production 🌿 Continued healthy foliage 💨 Good airflow through the canopy 📈 More definition and density in the flowers And most importantly... I'll continue letting her tell me what she needs. No unnecessary changes. No chasing numbers. No forcing her to become something she's not. Just observation, consistency and adaptation. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let This Sister Shine Cash Express Pheno B has reached a really beautiful point in her journey. She's standing around 93 cm. She's lush. She's green. She's flowering strongly. Her structure is becoming increasingly impressive. And her flowers are developing their own unmistakable character. She's similar to her sister. But she's not her sister. And that's what makes her special. When I look at the two Cash Express phenotypes together, I don't see competition. I see two different interpretations of the same genetic potential. One sister chose one path. This girl chose another. And I'm absolutely happy to let her walk that path. Because she's doing something beautiful. She deserves the spotlight. She deserves the camera. She deserves her own story. So let's give it to her. 🚂🌿🌸 Cash Express Pheno B is not trying to be anybody else. She's simply becoming herself. And honestly... that's exactly what I want to see. 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every week, this project becomes more interesting. Twelve cultivars. One shared environment. Different structures. Different colours. Different flowering patterns. Different personalities. And an incredible amount to learn. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document this journey, compare experiences and share what we're learning with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting helping power the room from above. Thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system keeping the plants consistently supplied. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower canopy. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every conversation. Every person who stops by to look at the plants. It genuinely makes this journey more enjoyable. I'm learning. I'm experimenting. I'm adapting. And sometimes I'm walking around the tent feeling like Tarzan in his jungle. 😂🌿 But honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving me another very good reason to stop, look and appreciate what's happening in front of me. She's beautiful. She's healthy. She's developing beautifully. And she's writing her own story. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's let this beautiful sister shine. 🚂🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿

They all doin pretty good, leaves are a little too yellow for my liking at this point I should have added some grow to the mix but they will be fine I think. This one is the tallest, has long narrow bud structure, smells citrusy. Both plants are the tallest in the group.

Week 10 and just finished up week 4 of flower. Girls filled in nicely this week and are really starting to frost. The smell is sweet almost berry like. Definitely have some nice sized colas forming. Excited to see if they keep their sweet smell at harvest.

Big Fat Wedding Cake is on the end half of bulking. She is looking really good with a sweet flowery smell. She did get nute burned prior me changing the solution a few days ago. Everything is looking great now.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

D29 Did top dressing with bone and kelp meal as well as worm castings. D31 Performed a little more LST, a few more days and I will let her do her thing. D32 More LST exposed lower nodes and evened out the canopy. D33 Removed all bonsai wire and rolled down the rim of the pot to even it out with to soil, more airflow. D35 Not much growth but overall looking pretty good. Heatwave last couple days keep temperatures higher than desired.

2/6: Amnesia 3 is just about 6 inches tall now. Trainwreck is only a couple inches behind. Still keeping the temps between 73-82 and the humidity in the mid to low 70s. After thoroughly watering the very healthy, young tomato plant that coesxists in the tent, the tips of some of the leaves turned yellow. That makes me wonder if soaking the soil for the first time since transplant caused a bit of nutrient burn. I'm going to avoid any nutrients the first time I water Amnesia 3 and Trainwreck fully, to avoid the same potential issue. They're not looking too thirsty yet though. 2/8: Amnesia 3 is tall enough and has a thick enough main stem to start slowly low stress training with a rubber coated gardening wire. I pre-drilled holes in my buckets for this occasion, and the wire fits well. Each day for the next week I'll gently pull the wire to slowly bend the main stem downwards, similar to how braces work on teeth: a long, slow procedure. 2/9: Woke up to Trainwreck's leaf tips pointing downwards, so I took it as a sign to go ahead and give it its first watering. I siphoned up a bit of the runoff water, and it came back at a PH of 4! That's not good; however, after researching a bit, it's likely that I could have siphoned up a pocket of low PH nutrient-filled water, making my reading way off in terms of the PH of the whole slurry of runoff. If the leaves don't bounce back, I'm going to take that as a potential sign of Nitrogen toxicity and will monitor more closely. Will probably make plans for a flush if it progresses any worse than downward leaves. Nitrogen toxicity can cause fragile, dark green leaves that point down in a shape similar to a claw, among other symptoms. 2/12: Watered Amnesia 3 for the first time since transplant. Getting taller and less bushy in some spots, so I may turn up the lights from 60 to 75% tomorrow, to see if I can increase some more growth. But before, I want to make sure this watering doesn't cause any nute burn from the soil.

The seed was free and i tried with no expectations. the plant maintained a deep green with great bud structure for lollipopping it made it easy to know what was able to be pruned or not quite easily. seemed to be very resistant to bugs. buds were dense but not as crystally as i might have expected, potentially i chopped a little too early.. *shrug* i will update when it has dried sufficiently
