I'm quite impressed by this week's development. She is starting to show her fatness. I did a flush at the beginning of the week and it helped a lot. Now I'm starting to give her less and less nuts, as she shows obvious tip burns and quite gark green leaves. I believe she will be ready in no more than 8 weeks of flower.

After week 2 the two Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barabara Bud) plants were transplanted into their final container, a plastic pot with 11 liter of soil (light-mix) in it. Now the roots can continue to develop rapidly and the plant growth is amazingly fast. At day 18 the plants are almost 20 cm tall already and look VERY healthy as you can see in the videos.

Day 91 she’s huge and starting to bulk up. Her green color has returned once I got the ph issue under control I wasn’t sure if it was going to return. She was very sensitive to the water quality. I’m excited to Watch her bulk up she’s a slow finisher for sure. But you can’t rush perfection.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 10 | Her Own Kind of Shine ❄️🌸✨ Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this girl... She's still shining. Not because she's trying to be like anybody else. Not because she's following some predetermined script. But because Chem Brûlée Pheno A has developed a personality all of her own. She's unique. She's distinctive. And the further we move into flower, the more that individuality becomes obvious. Every week, I look at her and think: "Okay... let's see where you're going next." And honestly? I have no idea exactly where she's going. But I'm really enjoying the journey. So this week, we're keeping things simple. We're watching. We're supporting. We're keeping the environment as stable as possible. We're letting the LEDs keep throwing photons into the jungle. And most importantly... We're giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. 🍮❄️🌸 🌱 Week 10 – Still Writing Her Own Story Chem Brûlée Pheno A is sitting at approximately 126 cm, and by now her overall character is pretty unmistakable. She's not the plant that makes you stop because she's enormous. She's not trying to win some imaginary height competition. She's simply developed into her own version of Chem Brûlée. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so interesting. You start with a genetic name. Then you grow the plant. And eventually, the plant starts telling you what that name means in her particular case. This girl has definitely introduced herself. She's got her own structure. Her own flower formation. Her own expression. Her own rhythm. And I like it. Very much. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Getting More Beautiful The biggest change this week is, once again, happening where it matters most: the flowers. They're becoming more established. More defined. More substantial. And those beautiful white hairs continue standing proudly out from the developing buds. The photographs really capture that progression. We're no longer looking at tiny early flowering sites. We're watching proper flower structures develop throughout the plant. And there's something really satisfying about seeing those individual flowers slowly becoming more recognizable week after week. They're still developing. There's still plenty of time for them to change. But the direction is beautiful. And I genuinely want to see where she takes them. 🌸?❄️ ❄️ And Yes... She's Still Bringing the Frost The frost is also becoming increasingly noticeable. That developing resin coverage gives the flowers another layer of character, especially when you get the camera close. This is where photography becomes such a fantastic part of the grow. From across the room, you see: Chem Brûlée. Through the macro lens, you see: Chem Brûlée Pheno A. The little details start appearing. The trichome-covered surfaces. The pistils. The sugar leaves. The developing flower structure. Suddenly, the phenotype becomes much more than a plant in a pot. She becomes a collection of tiny details that you can follow from week to week. And that's exactly what I love about this diary. 📸❄️ 💡 Let's Talk About Photons Again Because this week, just like throughout the other individual diaries, I want to give some attention to something that we can't actually see... the photons. We see the LEDs. We see the flowers. We see the leaves. But we don't see the photons travelling between them. And yet those photons are one of the fundamental pieces of this entire story. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are essentially creating our artificial sun. Photons are being emitted from the fixtures and travelling into the canopy. The leaves intercept that light. Photosynthesis turns captured light energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the plant's ongoing growth and development. So when I look at Chem Brûlée's beautiful green foliage and developing flowers, I'm also looking at the visible result of an enormous amount of invisible work happening every day. That's pretty damn cool. 💡🌿 ☀️ The Artificial Sun Above Her The Future of Grow lighting is doing something particularly interesting in this room because we're not growing just one plant. We're growing twelve different genetic expressions under the same general artificial sun. The photons don't care which cultivar they're reaching. They simply arrive. Then the genetics respond. And that's where the experiment becomes fascinating. One plant becomes compact. Another stretches. One develops a particular flower structure. Another produces something completely different. One phenotype takes her time. Another seems to have somewhere very important to be. 😂 Same room. Same general lighting philosophy. Different genetic responses. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's giving us her answer. And I really like what I'm seeing. 💡 Photons Are Part of the Whole Environment And I don't look at light as something that exists separately from the rest of the room. The photons interact with everything. More available light influences plant demand. Plant demand influences water use and nutrient uptake. Light contributes to the energy balance of the canopy. The canopy influences temperature and humidity around the foliage. And the structure of the plant determines how efficiently that light can move through it. It's all connected. That's why I love the idea of thinking about the grow as a complete system rather than a collection of individual numbers. Light. Temperature. Humidity. CO₂. Water. Nutrition. Root-zone conditions. Plant structure. Everything talks to everything else. And the photons are right in the middle of that conversation. 💡🌿🌸 🌿 She's Becoming More Herself Every Week This is probably my favourite thing about this phenotype right now. She's becoming more recognizable. Not necessarily because she's changing dramatically from one week to the next. But because the small characteristics are becoming stronger. Her flower structure. Her pistils. Her resin. Her architecture. Her overall expression. It's like watching a photograph slowly come into focus. At the beginning of the grow, there were possibilities. Now? We're getting an increasingly clear picture of who she is. And she's definitely unique. That's what I wanted from this project. Not twelve identical plants. I wanted to see what happens when different genetics and phenotypes are given the same opportunity. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is giving us a very interesting answer. 🌡️ Keeping the Room Steady The room remains broadly consistent this week. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~126 cm Summer is still summer, of course. 😂☀️ Keeping temperatures perfectly locked isn't always realistic when the outside world is doing its own thing. So the goal isn't obsessing over every tiny movement. It's maintaining a stable enough environment that the plants can continue doing their work without unnecessary stress. And right now? Chem Brûlée appears perfectly happy to keep working. ⚗️ Nutrition – Consistency Wins Again We're also keeping the feeding strategy consistent. Current nutrition remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L With pH adjustment as required. Current solution is approximately: pH 6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And again... there's no reason to change something simply because another week has passed. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's maintaining that beautiful foliage. So we'll continue observing rather than constantly intervening. Sometimes consistency is the most useful thing a grower can provide. 💨 Let the Canopy Breathe As flowering continues, we're naturally paying attention to canopy density and airflow. The plant has plenty of foliage, but we're not interested in removing leaves simply because they're there. Healthy leaves are working. They're capturing photons. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're part of the plant's engine. So any canopy management is about purpose. If something becomes unnecessarily crowded, we'll look at it. If something is blocking an important area, we'll consider it. But otherwise? Let her work. The objective isn't to create the emptiest plant possible. It's to create a healthy, functional canopy where light, air and plant structure can work together. 📸 Behind the Lens And once again... Chem Brûlée Pheno A is making the camera very happy. 😂📸 The close-ups are becoming increasingly rewarding. Those white hairs are beautiful. The flower formation is becoming more obvious. The resin coverage is developing. And the structure of the plant is becoming easier to appreciate. Then you step back... and you see the whole girl. That's the magic of documenting a plant over time. One photograph shows a moment. Ten weeks of photographs show a story. And hers is becoming a very interesting one. 🍮 Unique Is the Word If I had to choose one word for Chem Brûlée Pheno A this week? Unique. She's not trying to fit a template. She's not trying to look like another phenotype. She's not trying to follow somebody else's timeline. She's simply expressing herself. And I really like that. Because when you have twelve plants in the same room, you quickly learn that there isn't one single definition of "beautiful." There's tall. There's short. There's compact. There's stretched. There's dense. There's open. There's fast. There's slow. And then there are plants like this one... where you stop comparing entirely. You simply look at her and say: "That's you." And I think that's where Chem Brûlée Pheno A is now. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Where Are You Going, Girl? And now I'm genuinely curious. Where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much more will the resin build? How will the structure change as the flowers continue to mature? How will her final expression compare with what we imagined back when she was just a small plant? I don't know yet. And that's the fun part. We're not at the end of the story. We're somewhere in the middle... watching the next chapter unfold. So for now, I'm looking for: 🌸 Continued flower development ? Further pistil development ❄️ Increasing resin coverage 🌿 Healthy foliage 💡 Efficient use of the available photons 💨 Good airflow through the canopy 📈 Increasing flower definition and density And then? We'll see. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Chem Brûlée Pheno A is becoming one of those plants where I don't really want to predict too much. I want to watch. Because she's already shown us that she's different. She's unique. She's developing beautifully. Her flowers are taking shape. Those white hairs are becoming one of her most recognizable features. The frost is building. The canopy is working. And above everything... she's becoming herself. That's what I love about this project. We provide the environment. We provide the water. We provide the nutrition. We provide the artificial sun. We fill the room with photons. And then the plant takes all of that... and writes her own story. Chem Brûlée Pheno A is writing hers in a language I really like. 🍮🌸❄️ So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's not try to make her something else. Let's simply give her the conditions she needs... and let her shine. The Future of Grow LEDs keep sending those photons. The Lumiflora lighting keeps helping illuminate the deeper parts of the garden. The environment keeps doing its job. And Chem Brûlée? She's doing hers. Beautifully. Uniquely. And completely her own way. Let's see where she goes. 🍮❄️🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the place to document this journey and share the details of these twelve very different stories. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore just how much personality can exist within individual phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs that keep our artificial sun shining and those photons flying through the jungle. 💡☀️🌿 And a special thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy and making our relationship with photons a little more three-dimensional. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep track of the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to see how the girls are doing. This adventure wouldn't be the same without you. Twelve plants. One room. One environment. Millions upon millions of photons. And twelve completely different stories. This one belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno A. She's unique. She's beautiful. She's developing. And she's showing us more of herself every week. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep those photons flying. And most importantly... let's make this beautiful girl shine. 🍮🌸❄️💡🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸🍮❄️

6/7 Done a load more training tonight. That's it for the next week or so. 8/7 found some mammoth P, it's 2 years old so not sure how the viable it still is. But I'll give it a try and see. 10/7 introduced some molasses today at a rate of 5ml/L. There are some pre flowers starting to form now hence the introduction of molasses 12/7 nearing the end of week 4. Nice even canopy except for one that I topped. The canopy is thanks to the LST that I did on them. Trying to keep them the same height so the light reach and penetration will be uniform across the whole tent.

Since you’re all familiar with Wedding Cake feminised marijuana seeds, we’ve put a Break-up Cake in the oven at the Kannabia Seed Company – because things don’t always go well, and we sometimes need a friendly seed to lean on. Break-Up Cake has a base of Girl Scout Cookies, one of North America’s best-known strains, which is earthy with a very potent indica effect. And we top it off with a delicious Cherry Pie which, in addition to giving it an elegant dark attire, adds a silky, deeply sweet flavour of cherries and berries. Look no further – it’s the perfect cake. This seed will be celebrated for its ease of cultivation and abundant production. It’s one of the best investments you’ll make this year. But if it’s going to be memorable for one thing, it’s for its sweet complex flavour that’s full of contrasts. If we have to break up, let’s do it sweetly and amicably, right? How to: Break-Up Cake Break-Up Cake is an “all-terrain” marijuana seed, which will adapt to the place you allocate to it. An ode to independence, it’s a plant with only the most basic needs that knows how to grow by itself. It’s a pale branching plant with tremendous dark green leaves, purple tips, and an icing sugar coating of trichomes. Its immense buds are some of the stickiest ones we’ve found in our seed bank recently. Indoors, it needs 60 days of flowering to give no less than 600 grams per square metre. Use a Screen of Green method without hesitation, or plant it using hydroponics if you want to obtain the full benefit of its potency. Outdoors, it reaches two metres in height with a harvest of 800 grams per plant, which is reason enough to give it a go. Like a good break-up cake, this plant doesn’t need to live with a partner, and knows how to live well in a Guerrilla plot. Between 25th and 10th October is its moment. Taste and effect of Break-up Cake Very relaxing but not causing lethargy, it’s a good indica-dominant plant. Its effect is mellow (we’re too old for childish games). It calms the consumer but it also gives rise to creative moments. Head on up to the top floor, later to make your way, little by little, down to the kitchen later (where you might want to give in to temptation if you need to stimulate your hunger). The flavour is full of nuances. It will remind you of a vanilla sponge or cheese cake: you’ll notice a cherry topping, something sweet that you can’t quite distinguish, and an earthy undertone on a biscuit base… You’ve got to sample it to know it. _____________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H 24pcs Osram 660nm 8pcs Osram IR 730nm 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! 💚 💚 💚 If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow Bloom to pH 6.2 🍪 🍒 🍰🍩 🎀🍪 🍒 🍰🍩 🎀🍪 🍒 🍰🍩 🎀🍪 🍒 🍰🍩 🎀🍪 🍒 🍰🍩 🎀

I was happy when i've seen the weight, i expected 70 or 80 grams and it's the double. I'm not sure if i will grow this strain again soon, there is plenty of strain waiting to grow.

Smell got very strong Day 40. Buds have continued to get larger, although significantly smaller than all the bugs on the last grow. I Had no real expectation for the bud size on this plant, I am very happy with what is currently colas that are all about the size of my thumb, and hopefully another two weeks of flowering time. Beginning to see amber crystals on sugar leaves, will take macro shots tomorrow

So.... as you guys can see above i HAD to go brutal with this lady applying the "SuperCropping" technique, im not gonna lie that i was very worried since i had stress out the plant just a few day before this with heavy lollipopping and defoliation, but i had no other choice, the plant was still going up, no matter what hahah, she is a REAL BEAST, and it does not matter what i do she still want to be hugging the light hahaha, im FKD, but whatever lets see how this goes!! the recover was super fast, amazing how she just did almost not care at all with all the pinching and breaking of the stems and went right back up!! stay tuned

This week I have seen an explosion in growth, this lady is rather young and taking over majority of the other ladies, either way I ain't complaining, had a few humidity spike problems in the tent due to intake packing in, ordered a new one so fingers crossed next week is a better week for the garden.

She seems to be recovering from the water log roots…after she dries out I will feed her some fish fertilizer…in case this is a nitrogen issue.

Topped them again this week (except for the OG Kush which is still growing very slowly) and did some more defoliation. Also, I installed a scrog net; it's not fixed very well but I think it will do for now.. I'm gonna be away for almost two weeks now, I hope nothing goes wrong, the AutoPot system should take care of everything. Gonna start the flowering period, when I'm back after new year's. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▌My setup: ▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 ▌Lights: Meizhi 600W ▌Ventilation: Ventilution Mixed In-Line 145/187m³/h ▌Fan: Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20W (oscillating) ▌Substrate: 50% BioBizz All-Mix & 50% Perlite (& BioTabs Starterbox) ▌Nutrients: BioTabs Starterbox & tapwater ▌Irrigation: AutoPot 4Pot System ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
