They growing great!!!

Strong smell coming out of the cabinet. We started our flush going to start flushing for 2 weeks and then harvest

One didn't get hit enough water from the sprinkler so it got stunted hard and had to go, the plan was to only do 2 this run so all good, I used this one in a breeding experiment and it recovered very well despite the conditions, but this is not part of this diary. Starting this week I will also add ORP and CF metrics, the ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Week 2 - Purple Haze Pheno B 💜🌿 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! As always, this project follows individual phenotypes from seed to harvest under a 12/12-from-seed schedule, allowing us to document how each plant develops its own personality despite sharing the same genetics. This week we’re checking in on Purple Haze Pheno B. And while her sister may have stolen some attention with her near-perfect symmetry, this phenotype is quietly proving that she belongs in the conversation too. ⸻ Week 2 Overview The room continues progressing beautifully as the plants settle into their final containers and establish themselves after transplant. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Lighting intensity was gradually increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s during the week. Watering schedule: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Week-ending nutrient values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Overall, the room continues responding extremely well to the current environment. ⸻ Living Next to a Superstar Growing sibling phenotypes side by side can be both exciting and dangerous. Exciting because you get to observe subtle differences. Dangerous because comparisons become unavoidable. Purple Haze Pheno A has been exceptionally symmetrical from the beginning, but that doesn’t make this phenotype any less impressive. In fact, when viewed on her own merits, Purple Haze Pheno B is developing into a fantastic young plant. Healthy. Vigorous. Well-structured. And showing exactly the kind of growth you hope to see during this stage of development. ⸻ Thriving After Transplant Like her sister, this phenotype appears to have settled comfortably into her new container. The transplant process caused no visible setbacks. Growth continued. Leaves expanded. The canopy widened. And the plant immediately resumed pushing new development from the center. That’s always encouraging to see. A smooth transplant allows the plant to focus its energy on growth rather than recovery, and Purple Haze Pheno B appears to have taken full advantage of that opportunity. ⸻ Bird’s-Eye Beauty Several photographs this week were captured from directly above the canopy. These top-down perspectives provide one of the best ways to evaluate early structure. And what they reveal is a plant that’s developing extremely well. The node spacing remains compact. The growth tips are healthy and active. The canopy is opening nicely. And every new set of leaves appears larger than the last. The symmetry may not be quite as textbook-perfect as her sister’s, but the overall structure remains balanced, attractive, and highly functional. Most importantly, she’s building exactly the type of framework needed for strong future growth. ⸻ Bigger Every Day One thing that stands out throughout this week’s photo series is how quickly this plant is filling out. The early leaves continue expanding while new growth emerges rapidly from the center. This creates a plant that feels larger than its measurements alone might suggest. Every new photograph shows a little more confidence. A little more leaf mass. A little more presence. And that’s exactly what we want to see during this stage of the adventure. ⸻ Healthy Color, Healthy Growth The foliage remains vibrant and healthy throughout the plant. Leaf color is consistent. Growth remains active. And the plant continues displaying the rich green coloration associated with strong overall health. There are no obvious signs of stress. No signs of hesitation. No indications that she’s struggling to keep pace. Instead, she appears completely comfortable in her environment and eager to continue expanding. ⸻ Building Her Own Identity One of my favorite aspects of growing multiple phenotypes is watching their personalities slowly emerge. At this stage, the differences are still subtle. But they’re there. Purple Haze Pheno B may not mirror her sister perfectly, and that’s exactly what makes this process interesting. The goal isn’t to find identical plants. The goal is to discover how each phenotype chooses to express itself. And every week adds another piece to that puzzle. For now, what we’re seeing is a healthy, vigorous young plant building a strong foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ The Importance of Observation This week’s photographs also captured some of the tools that help keep projects like this running smoothly: • Calendar tracking • Whiteboard notes • Room monitoring • Environmental observations • Daily garden management A successful garden isn’t built from memory alone. Recording watering events, feeding schedules, transplant dates, observations, and environmental changes creates a history you can learn from later. The more plants you manage, the more valuable that information becomes. Good notes often become one of the most powerful tools a grower owns. ⸻ Mr. Baggy Report Mr. Baggy was once again spotted performing routine inspections throughout the facility. Responsibilities included: • Plant morale supervision • Environmental oversight • Weekly photo assistance • Security patrols • Looking suspiciously productive while doing almost nothing His employment remains secure. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to see: • Continued canopy expansion • Larger fan leaf development • Increased stem thickness • Strong root establishment • Faster vegetative growth • Further phenotype expression The foundation is already looking strong, and if this momentum continues, Purple Haze Pheno B should become an impressive plant in her own right. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another excellent week for Purple Haze Pheno B. She loved the transplant. The canopy continues expanding. The foliage remains vibrant and healthy. And the overall structure is developing beautifully. Sometimes growing siblings side by side creates unfair comparisons. But when I look at this plant, I don’t see a second-place phenotype. I see a healthy young Purple Haze building her future one leaf at a time. Strong. Vigorous. Beautiful. And absolutely deserving of her own spotlight. A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all partners helping make this adventure possible. And as always, thank you to the community for joining me on this journey from seed to harvest. Growers Love and see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. 💜🌿✨

Not much sunshine, thank goodness I had a t-5 panel. The temp in old trusty is pretty consistent at 70. They are growing great, spraying when dry and watering when pots are lite.

i Think this will be the last week

Hello this is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of veg. These girls seem a little wilty, The soil is wet. I think the light might be a bit too strong for them. It's at 45% I'll turn it down 5% and see how they are tomorrow. They look good though. Nice green leaves. I'm topping them this week to get more tops going. And they get a tomato cage each too, to push the branches out and something to tie the big bud to. OK. Have Fun Out There. Chuck.

Blütestreckung

Buds starting to form across all the main branches now. Transition to flowering is pretty clear now. Veg growth has slowed. Have switched to bloom nutes from a general purpose one.

3/4/26.day 57 from germination,beginning week 9. photo 3 and 4 with "big devil #2" 6/4/26,day 60 was flushed with 5liters water and 10 ml "flawless finish". #6 photo 7/4 first day after watering with "flawless finish". #7 8/4 day 62.

Well I configured my tent to run two 750s in air cooled hoods I have some impressive airflow using air mover fans I bought off of a hard ware store as you seen in my other video the light set up.

Plants looks nice and heathy after some defoliation but they are still pretty small 🤔 dont know what is the reason, hopefully they gonna get bigger 🙏

One with a topping the other one just LST both huge yield!🦖 For the smell its cookie dough,lemon & diesel🍪🍋⛽️ Super sticky buds 🤩

Not much to say this week. Still feeding the same amount. Looks like it might be starting to foxtail. It's really a bummer there is no purple yet, I grabbed this because I wanted a modern purple strain!

I'm struggling with maintaining a regular humidity level The new light is working out great! The plants are growing at much different rates. If they were all as good as the best plant I'd be happier It's gonna be interesting to see how things finish! ___________________________________________________________________ So I made an attempt to save them/balance them. I fed them with just ph'd water to give them some time and incase they needed to chill a bit The runoff wasnt over 6.5 so I dont think they are locked up. I'll be back to feeding them again, but the difference in each plant has me concerned!
