Week 9 – Late Ripening, Root Zone Reset & Canopy Management Entering Week 9 puts us squarely on the home stretch. Transpiration has noticeably tapered off as the plants wrap up floral development, which made the stubborn 6.7–6.8 runoff pH even more critical to resolve before the final flush. With nutrient demand declining and runoff volumes climbing, I made key structural adjustments to dial in the finish line: Eliminating the Silicate Buffer: The root cause behind the elevated runoff pH was Silic Rock (potassium silicate). At this late stage, its strong alkaline buffering was continuously fighting the acidification and blunting the action of Athena Cleanse. I dumped the remaining reservoir and mixed a fresh 35 L batch (EC 1.0 mS/cm, initial pH adjusted to 5.4)—**completely cutting out Silic Rock** while maintaining a 0.2 ml/L dose of Cleanse for root and line hygiene. Dropping the silicate frees the root zone to sit naturally in the optimal coco absorption band. Metabolic Shifts Under High DLI & CO₂: The plants have been pushed hard under high light intensity and CO₂ supplementation throughout bulk bloom. Heavy phosphate uptake in prior weeks, coupled with an anion/cation exchange that pushes hydroxyl ions OH into the rhizosphere, left behind concentrated salt pockets in the coco core as transpiration outpaced nutrient consumption. Canopy Thermal & Radiation Relief: Looking closely at the main colas directly beneath the fixture's center, several top pistils showed early browning and heat stress. This was photo-oxidation from high PPFD rather than uniform trichome maturity. To relieve canopy stress and protect ripening calyxes, I raised the LED fixture by 10–15 cm, dropped ambient temperature by 2°C, and increased relative humidity by 2% to bring the VPD into a gentle, non-stressful range for the final fade. Phenotypic Variances (Seed vs. Clone): Operating four distinct seed-grown phenotypes under an automated dripper setup requires keen observation. Plant #3 developed a noticeably denser root block with slower drainage, requiring targeted manual top-offs to match the wash-through of the other three. With the fresh, unbuffered reservoir locked in and light stress minimized, the canopy is cruising cleanly through Week 9 to finish cloudy and amber without salt buildup. Day 58 / Week 9 – Official Start of Nitrogen Cut & Heavy FadeToday marks the official start of the Fade Out / N-Cut phase. This morning was the very last feeding containing any nitrogen; from here on out, it’s 100% zero-N all the way to harvest.These are the final snapshots of the green canopy before the full autumn fade sets in. The goal of this protocol is simple: force the plants to deplete their internal nutrient reserves and break down excess chlorophyll in both leaves and flower calyxes. Excess chlorophyll and lingering nitrates are the primary culprits behind harsh smoke and a grassy taste—cutting nitrogen now guarantees a silky-smooth smoke, clean white ash, and lets the authentic terpene profile shine without interference.Current Reservoir & Regime:Water: 100% pure RO (EC 0.0)Formula: Complete Nitrogen Cut (0 ml N-base). Running a specialized $text{CaCl}_2$ finish for calcium and cell wall rigidity without nitrogen, coupled with light PK and essential micros.Biostimulants: Chitosan oligosaccharide (systemic defense / SAR against botrytis) and Triacontanol + Kinetin for late-stage resin synthesis and terpene density.Parameters: Inflow EC 1.0 mS/cm, pH dialed in at 5.4–5.6 to clear the root zone buffering.Plant 1 is already wrapping up senescence with heavy calyx swelling and rich anthocyanin purples, while Plant 3 is finishing its final push of calyx stacking. The flush/fade clock is officially ticking!

First Living Soil Grow - King Juice
Blütewoche 9 – Ernte in Sicht? Zeitraum: 17. Juli bis 24. Juli Blütetag: 56 bis 63 So langsam geht's wirklich dem Ende entgegen, die neunte Blütewoche ist rum, und die Lady sieht einfach nur fantastisch aus! Die Buds sind richtig schön ausgereift, dick, harzig und verströmen einen herrlich fruchtig-süßen Duft. Es kribbelt schon in den Fingern – ich denke, bald ist es soweit. Ich hab mir diese Woche regelmäßig die Trichome unter die Lupe genommen. Einige sind noch glasig, viele schon schön milchig, und vereinzelt zeigen sich auch die bernsteinfarbenen. Es sieht also sehr vielversprechend aus, aber ich warte vielleicht noch ein bis zwei Tage, um noch etwas mehr Reife rauszuholen. Heute checke ich sie nochmal gründlich und entscheide dann, ob geerntet wird oder ob ich ihr noch ein kleines bisschen Zeit gebe. Was ich in der letzten Woche gemacht habe. Ich habe den Lichtzyklus nochmal angepasst. Vom 18. bis zum 21. Juli lief sie unter 11/13, danach hab ich auf 10/14 runtergeschaltet. Damit wollte ich ihr ganz klar signalisieren: „Es ist Zeit, fertig zu werden.“ Zusätzlich habe ich die Lampe nochmal um 10 cm höher gehängt, um die Lichtintensität etwas zu reduzieren und den Stress zum Ende hin minimal zu halten. Gegossen habe ich übrigens nicht mehr. Man merkt deutlich, dass sie in der Endphase nicht mehr so viel Durst hat – das Substrat bleibt deutlich länger feucht. Etwas Sorge hat mir die Luftfeuchtigkeit gemacht. Die war wetterbedingt ein wenig erhöht, lag aber mit 56–66 % noch im vertretbaren Bereich. Die Temperaturen waren nachts bei 22–25 °C, tagsüber bei 28–30 °C, also alles im grünen Bereich. Bisher sieht alles gut aus, keine Spur von Schimmel. Die Pflanze kommt mit den Bedingungen gut klar. Jetzt steht also die finale Phase an. Die Ernte und das Trocknen. Auch das wird nochmal spannend, aber wenn das Wetter halbwegs stabil bleibt, sollte es gute Bedingungen dafür geben. Das nächste Update kommt dann nach der Ernte, wenn die Buds getrocknet sind und ich ein erstes Fazit ziehen kann. Ich freu mich drauf!
Cash Express By Zamnesia Pheno A
Cash Express – Pheno A | Week 3 A Picture of Vigor Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Each phenotype receives its own dedicated diary, allowing us to observe not only cultivar differences but also the subtle variations that appear between sister plants sharing the same genetic foundation. Week 3 has been a week of acceleration. The entire room received a substantial increase in light intensity, moving from approximately 370 µmol/m²/s PPFD to 700 µmol/m²/s PPFD at canopy level. Nutrient strength increased alongside the lighting, and the plants have responded with enthusiasm. Growth rates are increasing, branching is becoming more apparent, and the room is beginning to transition from seedlings into young plants with real structure and personality. Among them, Cash Express Pheno A is making a very strong first impression. ⸻ Week 3 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 27.4°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% 💡 PPFD: ~700 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed 💦 Water Consumption: ~0.9–1.2L per day Feeding Schedule Days 18 * EC 1.0 * pH 5.99–6.0 * Approximately 1L Days 21– * EC 1.3 * pH 6.0 * Approximately 1.2L The environment remains stable, which allows each cultivar to express its genetic potential without external stress factors influencing development. ⸻ Cash Express Pheno A Some plants attract attention because they are unusual. Others attract attention because they are simply doing everything right. Cash Express Pheno A belongs firmly in the second category. Looking through this week’s photographs, the first word that comes to mind is: Vigor. Everything about this plant communicates health. The leaves are broad and evenly developed. The coloration is rich and consistent. The stem is sturdy. The internodal spacing remains compact. And perhaps most importantly, the overall symmetry is excellent. From above, the plant displays a clean, balanced structure that many growers hope to see at this stage of development. Each new node seems to emerge with confidence, stacking neatly above the previous one while maintaining a very organized architecture. The increased PPFD appears to have been welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Instead of stretching toward the light, the plant is building mass. The canopy is widening. The stem is thickening. The branching is becoming more defined. This is exactly the kind of response growers hope to see when increasing light intensity. One of my favorite observations this week is the contrast between the mature fan leaves and the fresh emerging growth. The older leaves provide a strong foundation while the new growth pushes upward with remarkable energy, creating that vibrant layered look that healthy plants often display during rapid vegetative development. There is a confidence to this phenotype. No strange leaf shapes. No unusual growth patterns. No hesitation. Just steady, healthy progression. Sometimes perfection can be boring. But in the garden, perfection is still beautiful. And this plant is undeniably beautiful. ⸻ Reading the Plant One of the most important lessons in cultivation is learning to observe rather than assume. This week offered a perfect example. When PPFD was increased to approximately 700 µmol/m²/s, the goal was not simply to provide more light. The goal was to see how the plants would respond. Cash Express Pheno A answered quickly. The leaves remained comfortable and relaxed. The plant maintained healthy posture. New growth accelerated. Color remained strong. These signals tell us that the plant is utilizing the additional photons effectively rather than becoming stressed by them. This is why environmental monitoring is so valuable. Plants communicate continuously. The challenge is learning how to listen. ⸻ Structure and Development At this stage, Pheno A is developing into a plant that could potentially become a very balanced individual later in flower. Several characteristics stand out: * Excellent symmetry * Strong central growth * Healthy branching development * Compact internodal spacing * Consistent leaf morphology * Strong response to increased PPFD The architecture currently suggests a phenotype capable of building a dense, productive canopy while maintaining a manageable structure. Of course, the real story is still ahead. Week 3 only gives us the first hints of what this plant may become. But those hints are promising. Very promising. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week, I will be watching closely for: * Continued branch development * Response to the higher EC feeding schedule * Growth rate compared to neighboring cultivars * Structural changes as additional nodes form * Early indicators of flowering transition under the 12/12 schedule If the current pace continues, this plant could quickly establish itself as one of the stronger performers in the room. For now, she remains one of the cleanest examples of healthy development in the entire project. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along with this journey. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers can document, learn, share experiences, and support one another. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and cultivation support powering this project. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower, reader, supporter, and curious visitor who takes time out of their day to follow these updates. The plants grow because of biology. The project grows because of community. 🌱💚 Growers Love and see you next week.
