Day 29 massive leave cutting in the morning... but the queens seems to be ok 😃🙏👌👍the Z-Up strain has 5cm more then the others

1st photo We did the scrog, it helped us a little more to use as support to tie the branches with threads and manipulate them as we wanted, so we tamed it. but they kept growing as my colleague affirms

Harvesting the rest of the first plant later this week. Looking good, and hurtling toward the finish line.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 95°F with clear sunny skies. It was super hot today. I watered each pot 4-5 gallons twice. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 81°F with partly cloudy skies. The girls are still thirsty. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. These girls roots have tapped through these pots and into the soil. Unless it's just super hot watering once is enough. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 95°F. It felt like 97°F. We had super clear sunny skies. The girls are loving the sunshine and slightly less humidity. I watered twice @4-5 gallons per pot. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 90°F with super clear sunny skies. The temperature was more comfortable at 90° today because we had less humidity. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot from the well. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 83° with clear sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons once per pot. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 83° with clear sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons once per pot. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 79°F with clear sunny skies. I watered once 4-5 gallons of well water per pot. The girls are thirsty but the heat isn't sucking the water out of the pots. The girls are in full vegative phase 2 and continue to gain height. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 75°F with mostly sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. This week was a great success. The girls really stretched. The middle height plant is at 102 inches. The tallest plant looks about 10"-12" taller. The weather was very pleasant. We had a few hot days but mostly cool fall type weather. The defoliation and treatment of powdery mildew with Growers Ally fungicide ended that problem. These plants do have a high level of resistance but not immunity. I'll continue to treat once a week. Most growers don't talk about their fungal pathogens or treatment of them. Outdoors, if your plants aren't immune (many fastbuds I've grown from seed have been) then this is an issue you'll deal with if you have cool humid nights. There are many treatments and preventatives and some are scarey. My grows are all organic and I carefully chose Growers Ally fungicide as I smoke these plants and don't want anything scarey in(systemic) or on them. Thabks for visiting my diary 🌱💚

Blueberry is on her way and doing well. I've moved her from the propagation area to the grow tent so hopefully the better conditions will get her growing big and strong. One more week and I will transfer her to her final pot.

Comments in the video, I'm time challenged so way easier.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 7 | Small Plant, Big Personality Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system and nutrient solution, allowing genetics to be the real variable. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. Cash Express Pheno A continues growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and once again she's proving that size has very little to do with beauty. She may be one of the smaller plants in the tent... But she's quickly becoming one of my favourites to photograph. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues progressing beautifully this week. The fresh white pistils are multiplying rapidly and every flowering site is beginning to stack with much more confidence. What started as tiny clusters only a short time ago are now clearly becoming proper bud sites. The stretch has slowed considerably compared to previous weeks, allowing the plant to focus more of her energy on flower production. She's no longer trying to become taller. She's focused on becoming prettier. Every day the structure becomes a little more defined, making it easier to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Small... But Absolutely Beautiful Cash Express Pheno A belongs to the smaller group of plants inside the tent. She's compact, elegant and has never tried to compete with the taller girls surrounding her. Instead, she's building an incredibly balanced structure with evenly spaced flowering sites and a canopy that's a pleasure to observe. Sometimes we naturally associate bigger plants with bigger expectations. This little lady reminds us that's not always the case. Her architecture is outstanding. Every branch seems perfectly positioned, every flower receives excellent exposure, and the entire plant has developed into a very symmetrical little bush. I'm genuinely excited to see where she goes from here. ──────────────────────────── 💡 A Little Help From Below One advantage of her compact stature is the way she benefits from the under-canopy lighting. Being slightly further away from the main overhead fixtures than some of the taller plants, the LumiFlora under-canopy lights help illuminate the lower flowering sites, ensuring those developing buds continue receiving quality light from beneath the canopy as well. It's one of the advantages of combining overhead lighting with under-canopy illumination. Instead of allowing the lower flowers to live in permanent shade, they receive additional energy exactly where it's needed. It will be very interesting to see how much this contributes to flower development as the weeks progress. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing every cultivar to focus entirely on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency continues being one of the biggest reasons the entire room is developing so evenly despite the huge genetic diversity. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the plants request it, keeping the root zone stable and eliminating the need for scheduled watering. This week's reservoir consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The plant continues responding beautifully to this feeding programme, maintaining healthy foliage while steadily increasing flower production across the entire canopy. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really capture why I enjoy this phenotype so much. The close-up images highlight beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils, while the wider shots reveal a plant that's incredibly balanced from top to bottom. She's not flashy. She's simply elegant. One of my favourite photographs this week shows just how evenly every branch has developed, creating a canopy that almost seems designed rather than grown. Sometimes the smallest plants become the most photogenic ones. And I think Cash Express Pheno A is quietly proving exactly that. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly exciting. Now that the stretch is slowing down, I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively while resin production gradually starts increasing. I'm especially curious to see how this compact structure responds as the buds gain weight. Will she produce short, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with longer spears than her structure currently suggests? Only time will answer that question. For now, I'll continue giving her exactly what she needs and simply enjoy watching her story unfold one week at a time. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that every plant deserves to tell its own story, regardless of whether it's the biggest, the tallest or the fastest in the room. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal new surprises every week. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful overhead lighting that drives this project from seed to harvest. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the excellent under-canopy lighting, helping ensure every flowering site has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. And of course, thank you to AutoPot for making irrigation effortless while allowing the plants themselves to decide exactly when they want to drink. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following this adventure. Your support makes this project even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers around the world. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno A continues proving that sometimes the smallest plants have the biggest personalities. 💚🚂🌱

Week Update: Absolute Growth Explosion! 🚀🌱 We are officially at the end of the vegetative stage, and honestly, the growth rate in this setup is nothing short of crazy! 🤯 The Super Sativa Seed Club (SSSC) genetics of The Gassy One are showing their true power. These girls are ridiculously vigorous, pushing out massive, thick fan leaves and branching beautifully. 🔥 I’ve finally tucked them under the ScrOG net to manage the canopy in my 60x60cm space, and they are reacting perfectly. Every single shoot is already aiming straight back up for the light! 🗺️📐 A massive shoutout to Athena Nutrients – the clean, stable run with their line is paying off big time! 💎 The root zone is incredibly happy, and the plants have that vibrant, healthy glow that every grower wants to see. Combined with the AutoPot sub-irrigation system and AirDomes, it’s a hands-free turbo engine right now. 🏎️💨 📊 Environment & Reservoir Stats this week: 💡 Light: Dialed in at a crisp 500 PPFD 📈 EC: Sitting stable at 1.5 🎯 pH: Perfectly anchored at 5.9 We are letting the canopy settle for just another 2–3 days, and then it’s officially time to flip the switch to 12/12! ⏳🔄 The tent is already packed, and the stretch is going to be absolutely wild. Stay tuned! 🌿

The grow went pretty good! It sort of got out of hand during the stretch, and stretched way more than I wish it would. Top buds had some light stress at the end. One cola got mold the day before chop. Easy strain to grow, though the stretch really was too much for my little tent. Will update further once it is finished drying and curing.

01/08/18 - I fed them all 1 litre each, one of them seems to be praying up but the other two Seem a little bit droopy still. 02/08/18 - #3 is praying like usual and the other two are getting better Day by day I’m going to be giving them another feeding tomorrow, I have seen roots stretching out to the sides of the pots so I might saturate the whole pot. 04/08/18 - horrible sight today looks like rusty cracks in some leaves , not got a clue what this. 05/08/18 - browning has continued since last night and it’s all on the new leafs not the older ones. i fed them without any calmag , so I think it could be a deficiency of some sort (cal/mag).the mad thing is, it’s only two of the girls, one of them is completely fine nice green leaves not yellow marks that turn orange/brown. It definitely has nothing to do with my ph or all three girls would be showing some symptoms seeing as they all get fed with the same soloution.✌️🏻 07/08/18 - everything’s cleared up their was slight nute burn in the process but everything seems a lot better so I decided to start LST. all the new leaves are the colour they should be with no nute burns or calcium deficiency 🙏🏻

I noticed that the drainage EC exceeded 2.6. I'll have to correct that. 🙊

This beautiful girl has started to grow actively, I'm going to give it a shot soon, she's feeling good🌱

The stretch continues! She is tall and lanky with some pretty flowers. I have concerns she will outgrow my light at this rate but so far another really easy grow.

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Added a second scrog net for the taller plants last Friday. Constantly defoliating to increase light penetration but not trying to stress the plants. (Selective leaf picking) Plants loved the tea I have them last week. Visual improvements in every plant 2 days later. Top dressing later this week on 9/29: 5 tablespoons Gaia green 444 5 tablespoons Gaia Green 284 15 tablespoon Wiggle Worm Earth Worm Castings Light increased to 75%

6 out of 8 plants in pre-flowering, i replaced my humidifier with the dehumidifier, very present smell when I open the tent, a little early like my last crop. ⚠️ Day 26: Green gelato is hermaphrodite, destruction of the Green gelato, burial of a northern light.

The plant looks good. In these days the temperature outside are very cold (about 5 celsius), but in the box there is a electric radiator connected to a control unit (inkbird): every time the temperature goes under 20.7 C the radiator turn on. Yesterday I broke the holding pulley of the lamp😰 so I had to hold it with a wire. it will remain that way for 2 days, I've already bought a new pulley from internet. Anyway I defoliated the purple punch to bring the light to the apicals. Every 3 days it puts out new leaf, incredible! I used 10ml of flora grow , 6ml of flora micro (hard water) 5ml of flora bloom and 5 ml of cal-mag directly in the solution edit: I resolved the problem with the lamp. I top up the solution with 10l of water in wich I put 20ml of flora grow, 12ml of flora micro, 6ml of flora bloom and 10ml of cal-mag. I also used 10ml of pH- directly in the solution to lower the level of the pH (6.3-6.4 at the moment). Everything look ok😀
