12/17/23 - Day 41 - It flipped to flower today. I didn't document it via video because it's just like all the other videos. Except this change uses different level of the nutes for Flowering. Alot of the bud sites have tons of pistles on them. The plant itself is so round and bushy. The plants branches are very close together. There is a video up there of me using the software to change from veg. to flower. I'll update you tomorrow once the lights come on. Now I only get 12 hrs of light instead of 18. 12/18/23 - Day 42 - FLOWER POWER! Look at those flowers starting to form! It looks amazing!!!!! I think starting from a good seed is better than a clone. If this ends up better than the last grow..... it's already off to a better start. The leaves looks super healthy. 12/23/23 - Day 47 - What a WEEK! The whole family got sick and I was the lone ranger on the battlefield taking care of all the units! So posting had to take a back seat! I did manage to grab some pictures during those days. I posted them up top. This week is the first week of Flower, and its going great! As you can see in the pictures that the buds are starting to take off from the bushy part of the plant. I installed a second Scrogg net, the buds are already starting to launch upwards and I can tell they are going to need some support as they get bigger. The Leaf box has been taking great care of the nutes, humidity, temp, and lighting. There is only one thing that I have had to do manually. Toward the last day of the week, the day before the water change the PH seems to dip down to 5.5. It's not a bad thing to be there for a couple of hours, but it is the lowest range I would ever let PH go in a hydroponic (DWC) setup. I have been adding 2 cap fulls of PH+ to get the PH in check. To be honest, adding 2 caps full of PH+ once a week is NOTHING. I feel like it's the least I could do. The box is creating the perfect environment. It's the perfect Cannabis Oasis, I treat my girls to the finest of living before the end. :) Happy growing and I'll post again after the water change tomorrow! If you like this experience and would like to have the same one, you can order your Leaf system from www.GetLeaf.co. (full disclosure, I paid in full for my Leaf unit. I was a Kickstarter backer back in 2017 this is not an advertisement, this is real life)

Flush week!!! I also pre-harvested one branch to see the difference in taste (flush vs no flush) and also the difference feel (body/mind high). Super sticky stuff! And soooo smelly! Citrus fruit with spice

After 14 days drying, 7 days hanging and another 7 days on cardboard boxes 📦 at a temp between 61 and 65 degrees F and a humidity between 52-55 % I trimmed all the buds and jar them with Boveda 62. After 2 days in jars ( 16 days from cutting the plant down) I weighed in everything. I got 434g of grade A buds and 685g of Grade B ( perfectly smokable ) buds plus a lot of trim that I didn’t weight. I’m very pleased with everything and I enjoyed every single step along the way. Probably next time I will lollipop/defoliate more aggressively so I can get more top bud and less grade b bud.

Weather has been hot and humid! Going to have to look out for bud rot! We had super dry weeks and now a ton of rain and humidity—- with 90s. Doing great, but seems to have slowed a bit. Smells like a pine forest! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Harvested the compton qoolaid at day 71 had about 25% amber and 70%milky had a wet weight of 440grams of flowers..cut light back a little bit was a little high evenbthough dli on paper was good. Day 73 on other girls and Mullberry is really fattening up on her flowers, and the blutane is full of dence huge flowers. Starting to fade a little gonna guess around 2 more weeks for both. Started to just give water this week. will include pics and final weight next week

12/26/2022: gave both plants 1 liter of water with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit tea again. Have I mentioned how much I hate fungas gnats. I've been so happy with my switch to organics, except for these damn gnats. This should be the final week. Plants are fading hard, and tricomes are starting to amber. 12/28/2022: watered about 1 liter each with ThermX-70 and some mosquito bit and neem cake tea. Also threw some mosquito bits and neem cake directly into the soil to see if that helps at all. 12/30/2022: not much new to report. Watered again, 1 liter for each plant with ThermX-70. Both plants continue to swell and ripen. Between 5% to 10% amber. Was originally planning to chop at the end of this week, but I'm thinking I may give them one more week. We'll see how they look in a couple days. 1/1/2023: moistened the top soil with some plain ph'ed water.

10.08. Dos Si Dos 33# 1# Day 107# Dos Si Dos 33# 2# Day 107# The plants are progressing well, the day before yesterday was the end of their 15th week Both plants went into preflower this morning and 2 days ago they got a dose of bloom and half a dose of boost, and this morning they got bloom again. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Buenas!! Semana 11! ya queda menos para lograr los objetivos, Tutankamon se mantiene en maduracion constante, creando resina y engordando hasta sus ultimos dias! + Ha costado reducir la humedad en algunas instancias, a pesar de tener encendido el deshumidificador gran parte del dia.

All is well; fattening up. Using calmag every other watering, when not using nutes. No amber in trichromes yet. Pics/vid day 92/55F after breaking soil.

73 Day 10 Weeks to Harvest

Hey y'all! I'm back with an early update because my biggest two plants are flowering! Hindu Kush looks like she's gonna grow some really thick buds. I'm super excited to see it flower. The GSC pistils are some clear, some amber. It makes me really excited for how she's gonna look as she develops buds. I wanted to give a better tour of how the plants look so I took a video to share as well! I am super excited, and I'm starting to get impatient quite frankly! Lol! But really, I can't wait to watch my plants grow day in and day out. I need to find a way to control the humidity, as it is getting hotter in my home and when my tent is closed the humidity climbs up to 82% and some leaves that touch condensate on each other. Not good! I leave my tent open for hours at a time to tame the humidity but this is not a full time solution. if anyone has suggestions please let me know! I will be asking a question soon on it!

The girls come back inside when the weather is uncooperative. Indoor temp is around 70 and humidity around 60-65%. Otherwise pretty much the same as prior weeks.

Another week in veg.. she's patiently waiting her turn to get into the other tent where she can start producing fruits ... i'm hoping for a good one with this and I have a feeling it will be.. Thanks again to @Grow4releaf... God bless and happy growing ✌️

Just got done with trimming the 4x4 @greenhouseseedco Super Silver Haze / @blimburnseeds Silver Surfer Haze tent. The final yield is exactly 1000g plus some (kind of a lot)that I smoke in the last 2 weeks 😃 Also got 6, gallon size ziploc bags filled with good quality trim for concentrate. To be honest I was expecting a little more but keeping in mind that this grow I did not supplemented with bottled CO2 I think I’m good with the results. Definitely I enjoyed a lot this grow and I’ve learned even more.

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Cash Express (Plant B) | Week 4 Taking Her Time to Build Something Special Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where twelve unique genetics are growing together under identical conditions while every phenotype receives its own individual diary. This project is all about discovering how different plants express themselves, even when sharing the same environment, feeding schedule, and care. This week belongs to Cash Express – Plant B, and although she’s following the same path as her sister, she’s choosing to walk it at her own pace. While Plant A has already started flirting with pre-flowering, this beautiful lady is still fully focused on building her vegetative structure before making the transition. And honestly… I love seeing those differences. ⸻ 🌿 Life Inside the 8×8 Jungle Everything inside the tent continues running smoothly as the entire garden moves closer to flowering. The ecosystem remains stable, allowing every phenotype to express its own personality without environmental stress influencing the outcome. Healthy airflow, consistent temperatures, and balanced humidity continue creating the perfect conditions for vigorous growth. One of the things I enjoy most about this project is watching twelve different cultivars evolve together while still behaving completely differently. Cash Express B is proving that genetics always have the final word. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This week she continued receiving the same balanced nutrition as the rest of the garden. Feeding Schedule • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Vita Race (foliar) The plants continue responding with lush green foliage, healthy stems, and steady growth, confirming that the feeding strategy remains right where it needs to be. ⸻ 🌱 Growth & Development Although slightly behind her sister in maturity, Plant B has developed into a beautifully balanced plant. Her structure is compact but steadily stretching upward, and she’s beginning to establish herself as one of the taller ladies in the room. Every day she adds a little more height while continuing to strengthen the lower branching that will support future flower sites. Unlike Plant A, I’m not officially calling pre-flower on this phenotype just yet. The growth tips are becoming increasingly active, but she’s still investing most of her energy into vegetative expansion rather than reproductive growth. Sometimes patience produces the biggest surprises later in flower. Her leaf color remains vibrant, stems are becoming thicker by the day, and new growth appears healthy and vigorous across the entire plant. ⸻ ✂️ Low Stress Training Training this week remained gentle and intentional. Leaf tucking and light Low Stress Training continue opening the canopy while allowing more light to reach the developing side branches. She’s responding exactly how I hoped. Each adjustment encourages additional branching without slowing her natural momentum, and the canopy is beginning to widen nicely while maintaining excellent symmetry. Rather than forcing her into shape, I’m simply guiding her and letting her genetics do the rest. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I’ll continue allowing Plant B to dictate the pace. There’s no rush. I’ll keep encouraging lateral growth through gentle LST, continue opening the canopy with occasional leaf tucking, and wait patiently for her to announce the beginning of flowering in her own time. With the way she’s developing now, I expect she’ll reward that patience with a strong, well-balanced canopy ready to support plenty of flowering sites. Every day she’s becoming a little stronger, a little wider, and a little closer to showing exactly what this phenotype has hidden inside. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts This is exactly why I love running phenotype hunts. Two sisters. The same genetics. The same environment. The same feeding schedule. Yet completely different personalities. Cash Express Plant B reminds us that every plant has her own rhythm. She’s calm, methodical, and focused on building a solid foundation before taking the next step. Sometimes those are the plants that surprise us the most when harvest day finally arrives. I’m excited to watch her story unfold over the coming weeks. Thank you all for following this 8×8 Adventure and for joining me on another chapter of this incredible journey. A huge thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps this garden thriving, Zamnesia for supplying the genetics and equipment that make this project possible, and of course to the amazing GrowDiaries community for all the support, inspiration, and shared knowledge. Growers Love and see you all in the next update, where this beautiful lady may finally decide it’s time to join her sister and begin the next stage of her adventure. 🌱💚

The plants look really happy, with a rich and vibrant color. They are now growing taller more slowly, but the side branches are getting thicker. The buds are becoming really fat and are completely iced out with trichomes. The calyxes continue to swell, and more trichomes are visible, starting to turn slightly milky. Some of the white hairs are slowly turning brown. I estimate about 2-4 weeks until harvest. The scent is simply delicious, with a pleasant creamy berry aroma. The buds are also incredibly resinous, making your fingers sticky as soon as you touch them. The plants are only lightly defoliated, with dead leaves selectively removed and small shoots trimmed only at the bottom of the plant. The ladies are also extremely thirsty. Besides the regular fertilized watering, they also receive tap water from the bottom, which they usually absorb within a few minutes. I also made an extra video to better show the size of the buds, and using the flash at night highlights the trichomes even more.

They get a 100 ml every 5 days. I'm going to keep giving 100ml per plant untill they need it every other day. Day 26 I removed the first 2 nodes so the plants can focus on the top growth.
