Growing

🚀 Let's fly to another weeK 🚀 🌸 Dozi ZoZi – Breed Bros 🌸 WE jump in to DAY58! Watering PH 7.0 Temp is around 25C RH 55% and less in the night. I am trying to keep VPD around 1.1 kPa. I'm still trying to adjust the soil pH. Last watering was with 7.3 PH and 2ml of CANNA BOOST Accelerator It frosts beautifully and I like it very much, you can already smell quite a pleasant scent when you touch the flowers. Day 60: Today was a day full of experiences! In the morning, I found seeds in my plant. I removed the entire branch because it had a genetic issue, probably the reason it started herming. I checked the whole plant, and the problem was only in that one spot. I hope it won't happen elsewhere. I bought a new soil pH meter. Checked, and the pH is very good at 6.7. So, considering the yellow leaves and the fact that the plant has never been heavily fed, I decided to give it a full dose of Canna Flores fertilizer, 4.5 ml = EC about 1.44. Overall, the plant is doing very well, continuously producing new trichomes and becoming very sticky. The temperature in the grow box is 25°C, and the humidity is 55-60%. At night, I try to keep the humidity lower because the plant doesn't need much when there is no light. THX for watching and see you next week 👊

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 5 | Every Plant Has Its Own Clock Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I love most about running multiple phenotypes side by side is that they constantly remind me that plants don’t read our schedules—they write their own. This project follows several phenotypes from the same seed line, all grown under identical environmental conditions using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than deciding when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, every plant receives 12 hours of light from the day she germinates, allowing each individual to determine when she’s biologically ready to begin reproduction. Cash Express Pheno B has reached that exciting milestone. While she took a little longer than her sister to get there, this week she officially earned her place in Flower Week 1. Different pace. Same destination. ⸻ 🌼 Welcome to Flower Week One This week brought the first unmistakable signs that vegetative growth is now giving way to flowering. Fresh white pistils are beginning to emerge from the developing tops, signalling that this beautiful lady has officially entered her reproductive stage. Those tiny white hairs are the first building blocks of what will eventually become dense, resin-covered flowers. Although the transition is still in its early days, it’s amazing how quickly the plant changes once she makes that decision. Stretch has begun. The internodes are opening slightly. New growth is becoming more focused around future bud sites. The adventure has truly entered a new chapter. ⸻ 🌱 Hand Feeding Every Step of the Way Unlike her sister, this phenotype is not growing on the AutoPot system. She continues to be hand-fed, allowing me complete control over each irrigation and giving me the opportunity to monitor her response closely throughout this important transition. Each watering becomes another chance to observe the plant, inspect leaf posture, evaluate the substrate, and adjust nutrition only when necessary. It’s a slower approach than automation, but one that provides a very personal connection with the plant. Sometimes it’s nice letting technology do the work. Sometimes it’s equally rewarding getting your hands dirty. This lady definitely belongs in the second category. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition This week’s feeding schedule included: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Alongside the standard pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. As flowering begins, the nutrition program gradually shifts from supporting vegetative growth toward encouraging flower initiation while still providing enough nitrogen to support the ongoing stretch. The balance during these first weeks is incredibly important. Too much bloom nutrition too early can slow development. Too little can delay flower formation. This stage is all about finding that sweet spot. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week. • Day temperature averaged 31.1°C • Night temperature settled around 25°C • Relative humidity averaged 72% • Nutrient solution remained close to 24.2°C • Root zone stayed near 21°C • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged 639 ppm Humidity is intentionally kept a little higher during this early flowering transition. At this stage the plants are still stretching rapidly, producing large amounts of fresh foliage and demanding plenty of water movement throughout the canopy. As flowers continue developing over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create ideal conditions for dense, healthy bud formation. ⸻ 📸 Studio Time This week I decided to give Pheno B her own little modelling session. The studio photographs from every angle—including bird’s-eye views, side profiles, and even under-canopy shots—allow us to document her architecture in detail before flowering really transforms her. These photographs are much more than pretty pictures. They’re a visual timeline. Months from now we’ll be able to compare structure, node spacing, flower development and canopy evolution from the very beginning all the way to harvest. It’s one of my favourite parts of keeping these diaries. Every photograph captures a moment that will never exist again. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring a noticeable acceleration in flower development. I expect the pistils to multiply rapidly while the initial stretch continues, creating more defined bud sites throughout the canopy. We’ll also continue monitoring her structure as flowering progresses, making only gentle adjustments if needed to maintain airflow and light penetration. For now, patience is the best training technique. Sometimes the hardest job a grower has… …is simply allowing the plant to do what she already knows how to do. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey. Whether you’re here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these ladies grow, I’m truly grateful that you’re part of this adventure. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a place where growers from all over the world can share knowledge, successes and even mistakes. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition program supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering consistent, high-quality lighting throughout the entire flowering room. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally… Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, critic, and friend who joins me on this journey. Your encouragement and conversations are what make these diaries so enjoyable to create. I’ll see you all next week, where Cash Express Pheno B will continue settling into flower and, little by little, reveal the unique personality hidden inside her genetics. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🚂💚

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

**Semaine 7 : Septième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Bulking Avancé (1-7 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. Tout reste RAS, les plantes continuent leur bulking de manière très propre et homogène. Données consolidées TrolMaster + GrowOps (semaine 7 / semaine 11 globale). ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On est maintenant en **bulking avancé**. Les buds ont pris beaucoup de volume, les calices sont bien gonflés et la production de trichomes s’intensifie. Le stretch est terminé depuis longtemps, toute l’énergie est concentrée sur le remplissage floral, la densité et la résine. Steering : **végétatif maintenu** (irrigations fréquentes, runoff 20-30 %, dryback nuit 8-12 %, VWC stable). Objectifs : continuer le gonflement maximal des buds, booster la résine et les terpènes avec UV 90 min/jour, garder une stabilité parfaite des paramètres et éviter tout stress qui pourrait freiner la prise de poids finale. **Petit point éducatif : Bulking avancé et rôle des boosters** En semaine 7, la plante entre dans la phase où les buds « prennent du poids » rapidement. Le steering végétatif reste essentiel car il permet une absorption continue et élevée des nutriments sans stress hydrique excessif. La combinaison actuelle (Cocos A+B + PK 13/14 + Sugar Royal + Green Sensation + Pure Zym + Silica Force + Cal-Mag Amino) est particulièrement adaptée : - PK 13/14 et Sugar Royal alimentent directement la formation des fleurs et augmentent le poids sec. - Green Sensation + Pure Zym stimulent le métabolisme et la santé racinaire en coco. - Silica Force renforce les parois cellulaires (meilleure résistance et densité). - Cal-Mag Amino prévient les carences classiques en flo (jaunissement bas ou pointe brûlée). Maintenir EC autour de 2.6 et pH 5.8-6.0 évite les lockouts tout en permettant un uptake optimal. C’est le moment où on voit vraiment le retour sur investissement des boosters. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante mesure toujours **150 cm** et domine clairement avec une structure massive, une canopée dense et une vigueur impressionnante. Le stretch est complètement stabilisé. Les buds continuent de grossir de manière visible, les calices sont bien remplis et les trichomes se multiplient (brillance sucrée de plus en plus prononcée sur les sites supérieurs et moyens). Pistils commencent à changer de couleur et à s’enrouler. Santé générale : excellente, feuillage vert profond, aucune feuille jaune ou nécrosée, zéro pest, zéro signe de stress ou carence. La plante secondaire suit correctement. Clones restent vigoureux. Les plantes sont pleinement concentrées sur le gonflement et la résine. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 7) - **Température jour** : 23-25 °C (moyenne live ~23.3 °C, cible 24 °C) - **Température nuit** : 18-20 °C - **Humidité jour** : 64-74 % (live ~58.9 %, cible 62 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 49-59 % - **VPD** : 0.8-1.2 kPa (live 0.94 kPa → idéal pour bulking) - **PPFD moyen** : 750-777 (max ~814) → DLI 32 mol/m²/jour (optimal) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour (enrichment actif) - **EC solution** : 2.6 mS/cm (live 1.85-2.95 selon moments) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.43, runoff 5.8-6.2) - **Runoff EC** : 4-5 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : Fréquente (4-5 cycles/jour) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 8-12 % - **Steering** : Végétatif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) **Nutriments utilisés cette semaine (doses par litre) :** - Cocos A → 1 ml - Cocos B → 1 ml - CANNA PK 13/14 → 1 ml - Green Sensation → 0.1 ml - Pure Zym → 1 ml - Sugar Royal → 1 ml - Cal-Mag Amino → 1 ml - Silica Force → 1 ml - pH- → 0.5 ml (ajustement à 5.8-6.0) Eau à ~20 °C, temp solution ~15-18 °C. Irrigation fréquente avec dryback contrôlé → excellent équilibre pour maintenir le bulking sans excès ni carence. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS total.** Aucune alerte GrowOps, aucune intervention nécessaire. Les paramètres restent très stables, le steering végétatif fonctionne à merveille et les plantes répondent parfaitement aux boosters. Aucun signe de fatigue ou de ralentissement. ### Plans pour la Semaine 8 - Maintenir steering végétatif + EC 2.6 (possible léger ajustement PK selon gonflement) - UV rester à 90 min/jour - Défoliation légère et ciblée (seulement les fan leaves qui bloquent vraiment la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre l’évolution des trichomes et de la densité - Commencer à réfléchir à la date de flush (généralement semaines 8-9 selon maturité des trichomes) Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds gonflent bien, les trichomes se développent et la plante dominante à 150 cm reste superbe. On approche du pic de résine, tout se passe idéalement ! 🌱✨

Blütetag 1

This phenos taking off like a rocket growth is excellent she’s very healthy going into week 4 she’s starting to preflower

Well.. nice start of a new week. Still stretching so today changing water for fresh water. Going to level up the EC from tapwater 0.3 tot 0.7 with CalMag before adding nutrients. Then raising the EC to 2.2 I hope (depending on the PH not dropping below 5.8). Hopefully they will consume less water and therefore stop stretching.. We will just see what happens. Easy to lower EC afterwards and also easy to raise PH. I just have to add some tapwater. 13/7 some shortages and maybe too much light. Reducing time with half an hour daily. Raised EC to 2.3

The seeds have germinated 100%, they seem healthy, two seem to push more than the others. Overall everything is going according to plan. At the end of the week I will bring the lamp a little closer.

I grew 3 plants 2 grew well but stalled due to water and lighting at back of a cold tent once this was sorted all grew within there height range which is small and compact with my 6.5 liter pot range 8n biobizz all mix with mycorrhizal added. This is my first ever grow and the genetics wowed me i took a lot of info in about autoflowering plants and the 2 main things that run true are pot size and reduce feed as autoFlowering plants need less due to restricted height although I saw amazing growth in 3rd -6 weeks this if you dial in could increase your yields. The plants had a mild floral berry smell during early stages and kept this smell allways through. Once in bloom they grew vigours and buds oozed resin . There colour are truly amazing I have 2 dark plants that changed colours! And 1 tall lilac plant that too on its amazing colour during late Flowering planted in cold weather these came through sweet looking. Final weight on last plant #2 dry buds in sugar leaf I leave on is 12.6 grams there still 2 lower branches I've tried to seed with her hermI pollen

Tick tock SBG, follow him on tik tok too. So far the rest of the plants are yielding really nicely all the way down. Minimal larf and 5oz+ average. Lets see what a non defo will do Thanks for lookin

Unfortunately what we never want to happen has happened with my baby.. bud rot.. on day 98 of cycle I found 1 bud with bud rot, cut it off, checked the plant and could not find more.. flushed the plant and wait next day to see how it goes. After 2 days main bud was identified with bud rot too.. so sad.. probably due high humidity in my environment + colder weather we are starting to have.. so on day 101 harvest it.. could go few more days to get more amber trichomes but decided to harvest it to avoid lose more buds .. I will keep watching it to see if no spread when drying :(

This plant has been growing at a steady constant rate since they sprouted..I have topped them a week ago and they both appear to recovering well. I still feed basic GHE nutrients with the addition of Orca and Terpinator alll at 1/2 per gallon unless the plants ask for more and trust me you’ll know :) anyway they’re gonna be flipped next week was just letting them build up as much as possible.

It is the waiting game for this lovely lady. Everything is on her side but time, as I must harvest within the week. I am flushing for this last week for the 1st time.

17/07/22 des fruits apparaisse dans une grande majorité ,j'ai essayer de scrog les chessecake et les wedding glues en bon débutant j ai casser une branche que j'ai essayer de reparer a la macgyver tout sa en photos!.je suis très satisfait du milieu de cette semaine ! 22/07/22 demain dernier jour de la semaines des fruit a 90% partout plutot bien lancer mais pas très homogene j'ai pas mal de progrés a faire^^ très bonnes semaine a suivre

Last week of veg, i think these girls will start to flower the next couple of days! At the moment great results under this TS1000 as always! We gave a very light nutrients this week just to jave some nitrogen as im using a light mix as soil, lets see how it goes the next weeks 😁💪 1 of the 6 cherry colas showed some strange leaves not sure if its genetics or what happened with that plant but lets see if she continues to flower normally now or not

Eccoci qui... Finalmente dopo uno stop per il lavoro torno ad aggiornare il diario con il capitolo finale... Questa piccola dai colori magnifici mi ha lasciato davvero soddisfatto, ha una resina che sembra colla e la testa delle cime viola davvero molto molto bella.. Grazie a @EmeraldTriangleSeeds e ad @Xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️ NE VERRANNO DELLE BELLE
