Obama runtz x gas tax sad to say both seedlings are super crappy so far. If it was not for the gas tax parent being the best flower ever then I wld just toss these but sometimes the crappy slow growing plants end up being super dank It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 5 | Giant Leaves, Big Dreams Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you’ve been following this project from the beginning, you’ll know that every phenotype is writing its own story. Although they all share the same room, the same environment, the same lighting schedule, and very similar nutrition, each plant continues to express herself in completely unique ways. That’s exactly why I love phenotype hunts. This project follows every plant individually using the 12/12 From Seed method, allowing each lady to decide for herself when she’s ready to leave vegetative growth behind and begin flowering. This week… Chem Brûlée Pheno A left absolutely no doubt. Flowering has officially begun. ⸻ 🌼 The First Flowers One of the most exciting moments during any grow is seeing those first bright white pistils appear. These delicate hairs are the female reproductive organs of the plant and mark the true beginning of flower production. During these first weeks, the plant is shifting priorities. Instead of investing all her energy into producing stems and leaves, she now begins building the framework that will eventually become dense, resin-coated flowers. Every new white hair is another small step toward harvest. It’s always an exciting stage to witness. ⸻ 🍃 Those Incredible Fan Leaves The first thing anyone notices about this phenotype… Those leaves. They’re absolutely enormous. Some of these fan leaves are nearly twice the size of my own hands—and I definitely don’t have tiny hands! Large fan leaves often indicate a plant that is photosynthesizing efficiently, capturing as much light energy as possible to fuel rapid development. They’re essentially giant solar panels. As long as they’re healthy, standing proudly, and maintaining a rich green colour, they’re doing exactly what nature designed them to do. At this stage I prefer to let them work. Every healthy leaf is another energy factory helping build the flowers that are only just beginning to form. ⸻ 🌱 Gentle Training Training continues to remain incredibly simple. No aggressive bending. No topping. No heavy defoliation. Instead, we’re relying mainly on gentle leaf tucking and subtle low-stress training to improve light penetration while allowing the plant to maintain her natural structure. Sometimes the best training isn’t forcing a plant into shape. Sometimes it’s simply helping her reveal the shape she already wanted to grow. So far… She’s rewarding that patience beautifully. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Life Chem Brûlée Pheno A is growing on the AutoPot irrigation system. Once the root system becomes established, the AquaValve automatically delivers nutrient solution from below whenever the plant drinks enough to lower the water level inside the tray. There’s no timer. No electricity controlling irrigation. No daily watering routine. The plant simply feeds herself whenever she needs it. It’s a remarkably elegant system that encourages consistent moisture levels while reducing stress caused by repeated drying cycles. This week I’ve also included photos comparing the nutrient solution used in the AutoPot reservoir with the hand-feeding mix used for the non-AutoPot plants. Although the recipes are very similar, the EC differs slightly because plants growing on AutoPots receive a constant supply of nutrients, allowing for a more stable feeding strategy. Every cultivation method has its own rhythm. Learning those rhythms is part of becoming a better grower. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding Strategy This week we adjusted the nutrition slightly to support the transition into flowering. The bloom nutrients are now beginning to take over while still providing enough support for the final stretch before flower production accelerates. As always, every adjustment is based on observation rather than routine. Healthy plants tell you what they need. You simply have to learn how to listen. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running beautifully. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 31°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly higher during this transitional phase because the plants are still producing large amounts of fresh vegetative growth while stretching into flower. Over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced as flowers begin gaining density. The room itself is really starting to come alive now. Every day the canopy looks fuller, healthier, and more vibrant than the day before. Watching an entire room evolve together never gets old. ⸻ 📸 Capturing the Journey This week’s update includes bird’s-eye views, side profiles, close-ups, and room shots to document every stage of Chem Brûlée A’s development. One of my favourite details is simply seeing those giant fan leaves from different angles. Months from now they’ll be part of the story, reminding us where this beautiful lady began before her canopy disappears beneath a forest of flowers. That’s why I enjoy documenting everything. Not just the destination… But every step that leads there. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week I expect Chem Brûlée A to continue stretching while producing many more pistils across the canopy. Bud sites should become more clearly defined, and the first signs of flower stacking will begin to appear. Training will remain minimal, allowing her natural structure to continue developing while we simply guide her when necessary. Sometimes the biggest changes happen quietly. This feels like one of those moments. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you’re here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these incredible plants grow, I’m grateful you’re sharing this journey with me. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to learn, document, and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that powers every day of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally… Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even the occasional critic. Every visit, every comment, every bit of encouragement helps make these diaries something truly special. I’ll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue transforming those giant solar panels into the energy needed to build what promises to be some truly beautiful flowers. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Plants sprouted in just three days after planting! First week for the seedlings was me learning to get the humidity and light the right distance. A little bit of stretching but not too big of a deal. Plants fixed themselves

Purple Punch am 26.12.2024 Tag 49 / 14.02.2025 Meine Purple Punch steht schon in der 7 Woche, ein großer Erfolg für mich. Habe mit Bio Bloom und Bio Grow in der letzte Woche sie gedüngt, das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Heute, wird Acti Vera, Alg A Mic und Bio Heaven in das Gießwasser hinzu gegeben. Feedback: Ich bin überaus voll zufrieden wie meine Pflanze sich entwickelt hat, ich denke die gute Erde und der Dünger von Biobizz hat ein großen Teil beigetragen. Ich werde mal schauen wie die Pflanze in der 8 Woche aussieht. Ich nehme gerne Ratschläge von der Community an.

10/26: All but one are flowering now, and most are stretching. There are a few shorter ones, thankfully, so they'll get moved up to the top of the closet in another day or two and I'll have a little more room for the big girls to spread out a little bit. 10/27: I rearranged the garden a little bit today and checked whether they needed water or not. I foliar fed with Big Bloom and a little Tiger Bloom today. I'm seeing signs of potassium deficiency on several of them. 10/28: I watered everybody with about 1/4 gallon and included a little terpinator, cal-mag, bembe, and beastie bloomz. I uploaded a couple of photos showing some weird curling of the newest growth...just an odd varietal trait I think because I've seen it before on my Candy Cane F2's. 10/29: I rotated everybody on the edges and plucked some older, lower leaves. They are damn near totally dry, so flushing tomorrow. 10/30: I decided not to flush based partly on how shitty the weather is right now...and partly because I'm seeing some N deficiency signs in several plants and really can't afford to put off feeding them again until they dry after a 3-gallon flush. So, instead, I thoroughly watered everybody with about 3/4 gallon including cal-mag, myco/tricho, beneficial bacteria, humic acid, bembe, and terpinator. I let them sit in their catchment trays long enough to soak all the run-off back up, so they are fairly well saturated now with things that should make the roots really happy. I've added another oscillating fan and got the hygrostat set to kick on the exhaust whenever the humidity reaches 55%, so it's pretty much staying on right now. Hopefully they are dried back out by Friday so I can give them a last good dose of N to help with their stretch. I'll also start going heavy with P and K, and increase terpenoid and flavonoid enhancers. I'm gonna give Signal by True a try when I finish my current bottle of Terpinator. I just can't bring myself to keep paying over $60/gallon when I can get a gallon of Signal for under $40. While watering today, I emptied the closet completely and had plants all over the place...my cats were in heaven..stalking each other under the jungle canopy.😺 It really does amaze me that I'm fitting all these plants into such a small space..😳 10/31: I rotated the edge plants and checked their moisture level. I'll feed them tomorrow. 11/1: I took everybody out of the closet and did a little defoliating. I fed everybody with about a half-gallon including all the good stuff.

Day36, 37, 38: Seems to be growing a set of leaves per day now. Super growth! Stretching to the top. Day39: I had a hiccup with the camera. For some reason it stopped responding at 04:30 in the morning. I only realized it much later. I still don't really know why, but reseating the data ribbon fixed the issue. Day40: After fixing the camera, I decided to take this view again. The Lady is starting to show some nice growth and this view will show it best. If you look carefully, you'll see that her branches are not green, but rather reddish. Definitely related to genetics :) Everything else is within limits. Plus, the leaves look super healthy. Day41: Here you can see the stem colour better.

*LOS FERTILIZANTES SON HACIA LAS OTRAS PLANTAS NO TERMINADAS NO LA QUE SE CORTO ESA SOLO AGUA* *reemplazo bio bloom por monster bloom como los dos son PK la planta se sobrefertiliza* semana 10 y se va de corte la primera contento de terminar mi primer diario entero en esta plataforma cogollos llenos de resina muy contento con la producción en 68 días desde germinación *la planta en total creo un poco menos que el doble de lo que se corto pero fui sacándoselo de a poco antes* ahora solo queda esperar secar y las otras que vienen en camino 70.85 gramos en humedo contando tallos y una hoja de viento por rama espero marcar unos 15 en solo cogollos y ya secos LST en las dos ramas principales de una de las que viene siguiente muy compacta en lo personal me gustan los cogollos con casi nada de hoja (de esto dependerá cuanto raspe en la garganta) por lo que el humo entra sin dejar ninguna molestia muy suave y sativo

It’s week six of flowering, and the plants are growing well. Currently, the humidity during the dark is rising as high as 60% due to the rainy, cold weather. I've had to turn the heat up again to control the humidity and raise the room temperature.

Englisch version below Tag 62 Grow Tag 8 Blüte: Anfang der zweiten Blütewoche und der Streach lässt langsam nach. Beim gestriegen Gießen des Compost-Teas habe ich vergessen, den PH-Wert der Flüssigkeit anzupassen - Aufgefallen ist mir das erst nachdem der halbe Topf schon drin war. Heute zeigen sie jedoch keine Reaktion auf eventuelle Missstände des PH-Werts im Substrat. Am Ende dieser Woche ist eine letzte aber Gründliche Entlaubung geplant. Dannach läuft der Grow fast im Autopilotmodus ins Ziel. Die Lampe ist nun auf 100% bei ca. 900 ppfd. Tag 66 Grow Tag 11 Blüte: Gestern wurde mit 25L gegossen - aktuell muss alle 3-5 Tage gegossen werden. Es entsteht ca. 1L drain. Das große Lolli-Popping war heute. Die unteren 30% wurden dabei radikal entfernt und auch ausgewählte Seitentriebe, die es nicht mehr nach oben schaffen werden. Auch der größere teil der Sonnensegel wurde entfern um mehr Licht auch an die unteren Buds zu bekommen. Außerdem wurde ein SCROG-Netz eingespannt um die Pflanze zu unterstützen. Das Netz wurde mit 2 Gewindestangen gespannt um das Zelt möglichst voll auszunutzen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 62 – Grow Day 8 – Flowering Phase: At the beginning of the second flowering week, the stretch phase is gradually slowing down. During yesterday’s watering with the compost tea, I forgot to adjust the pH value of the liquid. I only noticed this after about half of the pot had already been watered. However, today the plants show no visible reaction to any potential pH imbalance in the substrate. At the end of this week, one final but thorough defoliation is planned. After that, the grow should run almost on autopilot toward the finish. Day 66 – Grow Day 11 – Flowering Phase: Yesterday, 25 liters of water were applied. Currently, watering is required every 3–5 days, resulting in approximately 1 liter of runoff. Today, the major lollipopping was carried out. The lower 30% of the plants were removed quite aggressively, along with selected side shoots that would no longer reach the canopy. A large portion of the fan leaves was also removed to allow more light to reach the lower buds. In addition, a SCROG net was installed to support the plants. The net was tensioned using two threaded rods to make the most efficient use of the tent space.

WEEK #15 — FIRST SIGNS OF FROST Most „Standard“ Week so far, i guess. A Little grow, a little leaves removed (that shadowed other Branches), Water Water — same same all week. The only new thing: A Little smell. Slush Mint cake very fresh and fruity (had the Impression of a light menthol Impression in the air a few times). Skywalker like lemon-soapy Style. Looking forward to how it will develop individually. The Look: another clear difference is the appearance. SMC is very flat (like really flat), very dense, but mostly with distance between buds. Skywalker rather normal, but also dense. Both have „breakout“ Kolas, canopy rather uneven, so light Distribution not that great. Well, LED aint the sun, hu? BUT: The underdog, Mint Cake, has the most frostied leaves, covered in trichomes. From shaft to the tip, ALL of them, what makes them appear light green, although the leaves are rather dark. Hope this will develop Even further, very impressive so far. First few pistills turning brown already, However according to Dutch Passion, bloom is 8-9 weeks for SMC and 9-10 Weeks for Skywalker *Haze* on average. This should mean like half is already over. ☺️ Bonus: CUTE - SMC as well as Skywalker have slight purple tips (🍆) respectively tiny dark/ purple leaves. Fingers crossed i have a purple pheno! Temperatures are hot at the Moment, humidity dry. Both Translate to very good conditions in the tent. Guess thats it for this week, stay tuned. Edit: For nutrients, i still have some calmag and phosphor around from my beginnimgs. They dont seem necessary at the Moment, but — so i assume — will Not harm the plants either, at least in a very light concentration.

Mimosa Orange Punch is small, but the tops are looking pretty good. They all struggled a bit — it was insanely hot outside and I just couldn’t keep the temps where I wanted them. I don’t have AC in the room yet, unfortunately. Super Boof: all 3 phenos are looking pretty similar. Slow start, but they’re stacking up a lot of sugar. Looks a little better than last time, so we’ll see how it turns out. I’ll update you again in 2 weeks. ✌️

The weight of these buds is unknown, but the Masters of this site will be visually approximate. I have all the confidence in their knowledge in elementary physics.
