pics from 20th and 22nd October 26th for lemon It's the second year ever for me, and I talked to some people because I still get 8g per plant, and it's because of the mainlining and toppings I do at wrong times, and also because an outdoor plant doesn't always get the perfect sunlight and energy to repair itself enough. so the stress might be it. next year I'll try bending the main stem and never doing topping

I took two off last night, and these other two have a few more days to work...now they only drink water and smell great 😊 and I won't say any more... the pictures say it all, I also expect a very good yield 😁

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A 💨 She's Moving Fast — And Now She's Starting To Talk Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And Cash Express Pheno A... Well... She's moving. And she's moving FAST. 😂🚂💨 Last week we talked about letting the plants do their thing. This week? Cash Express seems to have taken that as a personal challenge. Because she's definitely doing her thing. She's developing. She's progressing. She's putting on flowers. She's changing. And now... she's starting to smell. A LOT. 👃🌸😂 And that's when you really start paying attention. Because there is something special about reaching the stage where the plant doesn't just look like it's flowering... you can actually start experiencing the flowering process with another sense. The aroma is becoming part of her story. And I'm very curious to see where this girl is going. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about putting different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment and allowing each one to show us what she naturally wants to become. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One room. One 12/12 lighting strategy. One irrigation system. One general nutritional approach. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this project so much fun. Because even when the environment is shared, the plants don't read the same script. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop unusual structures. Some move slowly. And some... like Cash Express Pheno A... suddenly decide: "Right. Let's get moving." 😂🚂💨 And she's certainly moving now. ──────────────────────── 🚂 She's Picking Up Speed This week, the biggest thing I'm noticing is simply progression. She's moving quickly. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is changing noticeably. And the whole structure is beginning to look increasingly like a proper late-flowering plant rather than a plant that's still deciding what she wants to become. There's momentum. And I really like seeing that. Because this is the stage where the plants start revealing more of their final personality. Earlier in the cycle, we were mostly watching architecture. Stretch. Branches. Canopy. Training. Structure. Now? The flowers are becoming the main event. And Cash Express is starting to put some serious effort into that part of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Maybe Not The Prettiest Girl... I'm going to be honest. 😂 She may not be the prettiest girl in the room. And that's okay. Beauty is subjective. And when you've got twelve different plants sitting beside each other, there are always going to be some that immediately grab your attention more than others. Cash Express Pheno A isn't necessarily the girl that makes you stop from across the room and say: "OH MY GOD!" 😂 But then you look closer. And you start seeing her. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individuality. Her little peculiarities. And suddenly you realize: She's got charm. She's got character. She's got her own kind of beauty. And that's actually something I really appreciate. Because not every phenotype needs to be conventionally beautiful to be fascinating. Sometimes the unusual ones are the ones you remember. And Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. ──────────────────────── ✨ Beauty Is Not Always About Perfection That's one of the things this entire project keeps teaching me. If I judged every plant purely by appearance... I'd miss half the story. Some plants are extremely symmetrical. Some are incredibly frosty. Some have perfect-looking flowers. Some have crazy structures. Some are compact. Some are stretched. Some are simply... different. And Cash Express Pheno A falls into that last category for me. She's not necessarily the picture-perfect princess of the tent. But she's interesting. She's unique. She's developing quickly. And now she's giving us something else to pay attention to: her aroma. And honestly? I'll take interesting over predictable any day. 😂🚂🌸 ──────────────────────── 👃 Oh... Now She's Starting To Smell This is the part that has really caught my attention. She's starting to smell. And not just: "Maybe if I put my nose close enough..." No. She's starting to make herself known. 😂👃💨 The aroma is becoming noticeable enough that I find myself paying attention whenever I'm around her. And that's exciting. Because aroma development is another piece of the phenotype puzzle. The visual appearance tells us one thing. The structure tells us another. The flowering speed tells us another. And then the plant starts telling us something through its aroma. Now I'm curious. What is she going to smell like as she continues developing? How much stronger will that expression become? What kind of character is going to come through? And where is all of this going? I don't know. But I'm very interested in finding out. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Lighting Experiment And just like everyone else in the 8×8, Cash Express Pheno A is still experiencing the upgraded lighting environment. Future of Grow supplied us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. The additional fixtures initially pushed the available PPFD higher than we wanted. So we brought the output down. We're currently running around: 🔌 59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Cash Express is right there underneath all those photons. She's not receiving a special lighting treatment. She's not getting a secret little VIP setting. She's getting the same general room environment as the other girls. And yet... look at how differently she's expressing herself. That's the fun. Same light. Different plant. Different response. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons In — Cash Express Out This is one of my favourite parts of the experiment. We provide the photons. The plant decides what to do with them. And Cash Express seems to have decided: "I'm going to turn these into flowers... and then I'm going to make the whole room smell." 😂💨🌸 Fair enough. That's a pretty good use of photons. The upper canopy is receiving strong light. The lower portions naturally receive less depending on plant height and structure. And the plant itself decides how to position its leaves and flowers within that three-dimensional environment. We're not trying to force every plant into exactly the same shape. We're watching how each phenotype uses the space. And Cash Express is certainly using hers. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Nutrition — A Small Step Back For The Whole Room The nutritional program has also been adjusted slightly this week across the entire room. Terra Bloom has been reduced from: 🌸 2.3 ml/L to: 🌸 2.0 ml/L This brought the EC down slightly to: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: 🌱 Pure Zym — 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.0 ml/L Again, this is a room-wide adjustment. We're not trying to micromanage every plant individually. We're allowing the whole room to progress together while watching how each phenotype responds. And Cash Express? She's moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💧 Still Providing — Still Watching The current irrigation is around: 💧 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And the rest of the room remains under the same general environmental strategy. We're not making dramatic changes. We're not trying to force her into another stage. We're simply continuing to provide consistency. Because at this point... the plants are doing most of the work. Our job is becoming increasingly simple. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Document. And let them finish their stories. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The current room conditions are approximately: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output: ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature: ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.04 ⚡ EC: ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25.2°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.4 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same general nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Different Cash Express. And she's certainly giving us something to watch. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Plant Doesn't Need Us To Make Her Interesting This is another thing I really like about this stage. We're not doing anything special to make Cash Express interesting. She's doing that herself. We're not training her into some crazy shape. We're not manipulating her to create a particular appearance. We're not forcing her to behave differently. She's simply progressing naturally. And the more she develops... the more personality becomes visible. That's exactly what I wanted from the 8×8 Adventure. I wanted to see what these individual phenotypes would do when given the same general opportunity. Cash Express is giving us her answer. And I like the answer. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowering structure continues developing. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The plant is clearly moving forward. And this is the part where I start getting excited about the next few weeks. Because once the plant gets into this rhythm... you can almost feel the momentum. Every week starts bringing more visible change. The flowers become more defined. The plant becomes more obviously floral. The aroma develops. The overall structure starts looking increasingly mature. And Cash Express? She's entering that stage now. She's not finished. Not even close to writing the final chapter. But she's definitely moving. And moving quickly. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Her Uniqueness Is Becoming More Obvious This is another reason I'm glad we're documenting her individually. If you put Cash Express Pheno A beside another phenotype and simply called them both "Cash Express," you'd miss a lot. This girl has her own expression. Her own pace. Her own structure. Her own visual personality. And now... her own aroma is starting to become part of the picture. That's what phenotype hunting is about. You don't just want to know: "What strain is this?" You want to know: "What does this individual plant do?" And Cash Express Pheno A is slowly but surely answering that question. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Sees What The Eye Sometimes Misses One of the things I love about documenting these plants every week is that the camera gives me another way to compare their development. Standing in the room, sometimes the changes don't feel enormous. Then I look at photographs from a few weeks ago... and suddenly: Whoa. She's changed. The flowers are more developed. The structure is different. The plant has progressed. And that's why these weekly photographs matter. They're not just pretty pictures. They're a timeline. They're evidence of the journey. And Cash Express is building a pretty interesting timeline. ──────────────────────── 💨 The Smell Is Becoming Part Of The Story This deserves another mention because it's something I really noticed this week. She's starting to make herself known. 😂💨 And I think that's a beautiful milestone in a flowering plant. The visual side has been there for weeks. Now the aromatic side is beginning to join the conversation. And that makes me even more curious. Because we don't know yet how strong this expression will become. We don't know exactly where the aroma is going to develop. And I'm not going to pretend I know what the final result will be. We're going to find out. That's the fun. Let the plant show us. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express Is Moving Fast If I had to summarize this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "She's moving." 😂🚂💨 She's moving quickly. She's developing. She's becoming more floral. She's becoming more aromatic. And she's becoming increasingly interesting. Maybe she's not the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly one of the girls I want to keep watching. Because there's something happening here. And I want to see where it goes. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Same Environment — Different Result This is probably the biggest lesson of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can standardize the environment as much as possible. We can standardize the lighting. We can standardize the irrigation. We can standardize the nutrition. We can monitor temperature. We can monitor humidity. We can monitor CO₂. And still... the plants will express themselves differently. That's genetics. That's phenotype. And that's exactly why I wanted twelve individual diaries. Cash Express Pheno A is giving us another piece of that puzzle. She's fast. She's unique. She's aromatic. She's got charm. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as the weeks pass. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead — Where Is She Going? Now I'm genuinely curious. Because the next stage should be very interesting. She's moving quickly. She's starting to smell. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming increasingly mature. So where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much stronger will the aroma become? How will the final structure evolve? What kind of expression is hiding underneath all of this? I don't know. And I don't want to guess. Let's just watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's smell. 😂💨 And let's see what Cash Express decides to become. ──────────────────────── ❤️ Final Thoughts — Give Her The Spotlight Week 12. And Cash Express Pheno A is moving. Fast. She's not necessarily the prettiest plant in the room. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying that. Because beauty isn't a competition. And this girl has something else. Charm. Character. Uniqueness. Personality. And now... aroma. She's starting to smell. She's developing quickly. She's becoming increasingly floral. And she's giving me another reason to stop beside her and take a closer look. She's not trying to be somebody else. She's just being Cash Express. And honestly? That's exactly what I want. This project isn't about finding twelve identical plants. It's about discovering twelve individual expressions. And this one is giving us a very interesting one. So let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the weird little details that make her different. Let's appreciate the aroma that's starting to fill the air. And most importantly... let's see where this girl goes. 🚂🌸💨 She's moving. She's moving fast. And I'm enjoying the ride. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us continue adjusting the flowering program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. Having more lighting capability, controlling the output and watching how these different plants respond has been one of the most interesting parts of this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something a little different. A different shape. A different rhythm. A different colour. A different flowering structure. A different personality. And now... a different smell. 😂💨🌸 Cash Express Pheno A may not be the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly got something. She's unique. She's charming. She's developing quickly. And she's starting to make herself known. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Because sometimes... the most interesting plant isn't the one that immediately catches your eye. Sometimes... it's the one that makes you come back for another look. Cash Express Pheno A? She's becoming that girl. 🚂🌸💚 Until next week... Keep moving, beautiful girl. We're watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

12/4 Monday she is doing really well. I just gave her water and that’s all I’m gonna give her from here on out. There’s plenty of nutrients I almost overdid it but I caught the mistake just a little leaf burn tip. Her buds are as dense as any photoperiod plant I’ve ever seen. This has been my best grow ever for some reason she really liked me. She really did good even though I had bugs I think the big difference was silica. I read the article on this website about it and I started using it and it makes a huge difference I’m using 2.5 mL mixing it in with the rest of the nutrients and I don’t have any problems at all. 12/5 she looks more than ready her buds are so thick and dense. I just can’t believe it. I see these websites on Twitter where these girls trim up their weed and they sell it and it looks perfect. It’s gonna look almost as good as those I’ve seen really happy with this. This is my most successful grow so I gave her a nice haircut today. 12/6 I have a Bumble / flying fucking red nosed reindeer infestation it’s HORRIBLE you would think a fancy breeder like Seedsmen would put an a warning label on these seeds!! 12/8 I hunted the bumble into extinction and I ate the reindeer. It’s been a beautiful morning what a breakfast. I don’t know if I accidentally did this right, but taking the leaves off of it for the last week and just using water has been great. She’s starting to put out some more resin now I did take two little branches off and the one that I took earlier that dried is really rockhard solid. I’ve never had that before it’s just the best. 12/10 Sunday I’m just letting her dry out there’s three other plants in the tent with her so now they all have the bugs that she had. I had to spray again today with the garden spray I bought on Amazon. She looks pretty good I probably chop her down on Monday, I’ve smoked some it hasn’t really dried so I can’t get to the smell yet. Pretty exciting feels great though.

She is a large plant. my height is 1.94 cm / 6'4 f. her buds are very heavy for her. I need to have it with a rope so that it does not fall. I'm happy with this strain of ripper seed. I'll cut it in a couple of days.

Hey! Just back well I started a diary but stopped growing so placed to my friend's house. Now I decided to be back and yeah here we go.... They are nice fertilization happens 3x a week with the mixture of Biobizz family (Biobloom, Topmax, BioGrow, Epsom salt, Gunokalong extract.) They grow as hell. 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off, 200 ml water per plant a day, humidity approx 35 percent. Day 49: More LST has been done they grow unbelievably fast...

I’m very happy with the result; it’s impressive how changing the fertilizer directly impacts the quantity and quality of the buds.

420 Fastbuds Week 3 Gorilla Cookies Auto What up what up grow fam. This week has been fun as I decided to do a major defoliation taking off all fan leafs. I find it doesn't hurt the plant and it let's the lower branch receive more light. I will probably add a little calmag to my next feeding as I see a few rust spots on a couple leafs. All in all Happy Growing.

I was flushing all the plants since August 9. You can see in the videos with de microscope ( I really try my best, but it was pretty difficult) the trichomes looks cloudy and some of them looks amber. Maybe in the videos you can't see it because my hand was really shaky. August 17: all the plants were in dark. August 18: i cleaned all the plants, buds, leafs, everything..., spraying water to remove the rests of potasic soap. Today august 18, during the nigth, i'm going to harvest all the ladies. In the past 3 days i didn't watering the plants and the smell was stronger. August 19: Before dry -Critical Kush: 150g -Red dwarf: 60g -Syrup (2 plants): 270g -Lemon (4 plants): 570g

Week 8

Charged with L.S.T and SuperCroping

Dropped light hours down to 16 . Topped off nutrient solution with 5.0 ph evened out .removed none chosen phenos to be flowered in separate room no longer tracking those we will only follow the chosen mothers clones i cut clones today as well had the lady friend clean floor with bleach and dawn put clones in ez cloner 32 systems

🌸 Flowering Week 5 🌸 The transition into mid-flowering is well underway, and the plants are responding beautifully. Bud sites are stacking across the canopy, while resin production continues to increase day by day. Trichomes are now clearly covering the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves, giving the plants a frosty appearance much earlier than expected. White pistils remain dominant, showing that flower development is still actively progressing. The structure remains healthy and vigorous, with excellent color, strong branching, and consistent growth throughout the canopy. Environmental conditions have remained stable, allowing the plants to focus their energy on flower formation and resin production. Aroma intensity is increasing steadily, bringing more complexity and character to the garden each day. The next few weeks will be focused on bud swelling, terpene development, and maximizing flower density as we move closer to the final stages of bloom.

Let this girl go natural and she really grew fast, shooting up with a very large main bud and several branch buds, she drank a lot towards the end, but very low maintenance! Smelled beautiful torwards the end and even better in the drying room. Thanks to everyone on here that commented and supported me! Love growing with this community.😌😎😊

Hi guys, What's up? Welcome back to Queen Peaky's Flower Gardens here I am again with you to tell a little about my experience and obviously learn from yours as well 😉 I hope you enjoy the content and if you feel like ... follow us on ig

Love this strain, will be growing again for SURE!. I can't wait to smoke and press this flower, she is sticky, stinky, and dense..... Perfect strain for mainlining/manifolding. Only took me 3.5 hours to wet trim, and she should yield around 12 zips of frosty sticky nugs. Sweet Seeds knocked it out of the park, and I am a huge fan of African Tai, which is in this lady, and I can't wait to give a smoke report.... Hope everyone is having a great weekend, be safe and blaze On!!!

7/19 I’ve come upon the realize that I had been under watering to an extreme degree. I have since adjusted accordingly today and hope they look better tomorrow. Did remove some leaves and then found out I really shouldn’t have, hopefully I didn’t stunt them.i believe they are now flowering and next watering I will be adding some tiger bloom at very low strength. the newts I’ve given them have shown tip nute burn often and I have been very minimally watering so my conclusion is my soil was so full of nutes I could have waited until now most likely to start my first feedings. I’ve read about this and w ocean forest this seems to be the trend. Still really happy about the progress. Peace

Esta semana volvió a tener todas las hojas sanas. Le complete de tierra las macetas y les hice supercropping para controlar la altura porque no se cuando van a florar

Hey now, so this week went pretty well. The Glueberry OG's are loving the environment, at around 70% RH and between 79-83 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and around 70 degrees Fahrenheit at night. The hardest thing for me is to leave them alone and not water them, as I am used to growing in Coco Coir and watering my plants multiple times a day. They are still in solo cups with a mixture of Pro-Mix seedling starter and Perlite, and I am watering every two to three days with just a light watering around the edge of the solo cup. . I plan to give the other Glueberry OG to a friend to hopefully raise her well. I have three 5 gallon fabric smart pots full of coco coir soaking in cal mag treated water, so i will flush them down to EC .4 the morning I am ready to transplant this lady which will be either Saturday or Sunday this weekend. After transplant she will be immediately receive high frequency fertigation every 5.5 hours or so from lights on and also receive supplemental UV/IR lighting from this Medic Grow Spectrum X. They are currently receiving the V1 Spectrum at 30% which is the blue/veg spectrum. Thanks for stopping by, be safe and Blaze On!!!
