Hi all. So here we are at the end of another week and its now time to admit a slight defeat with the recovering ladies !!!!. I am not under any illusions that they will fly and take over now so need to flip to 12/12 for the sake of the Amnesia and time constraints. I am impressed they survived the root rot at all so a small stunted bud on a stick is better than no bud at all. I am hopeful the Amnesia will showcase how good the genetics from Sweet seeds are and not damage their reputation with my heat damaged and root issues. Red Hot Cookie has been struggling to get over her rot. She does not look too good but is alive. I will keep her happy and see how she comes through. Sweet Afghani Delicious has done well to grow this week but she has now taken a small christmas tree appearence. I expect she will also remain a midget for the finish , heres to hope. Amnesia Haze is stomping it in her Soil pot. Her week has been very productive. She is covered in mains and even the middle of the plant is forming another ring of mains. I have put them into different positions now and moved the lights around to get the best out of the new SP3000. She is spread out to get even more light as the stretch period takes hold. With decent raining out , i am hoping to get a very good yield from her. Her limbs are solid in strength but still bendable so should help train her out more. I also have the sp250 to give additional side lighting with the tsl2000 forneven more par if needed later in flowering. She is feeding well bybjer looks and takes about 8L before any runoff. I plan to add another round of amendments this week to boost the soil life for flowering.

Hab nochmal ordentlich entlaubt und heute oder morgen entferne ich die letzten großen Sonnensegel. Die Pflanzen sehen sehr vital aus und wachsen gut vorallem die Wurzeln wachsen bis an die Oberfläche. Jetzt noch ca 2 Wochen warten in der zeit gibs noch co² bags und eventuell noch n paar Seitentriebe wegnehmen und denn geht's ab in die blüte🍀

Harvested the Clones! I'm stoked how #4 grew out, I think she's the winner! With limited space in my grow, I'm only going to be able to bloom out the rest of the phenos clones to week 3-4.. The show must go on.. It's the price I must pay for using non-ideal cloning methods... Next round of phenohunting will have 100% cloning success, using my new aeroponics cloning machine.

Venga familia ya viene la cosecha de estas Mental Rainbow de Sweetseeds, que ganas que tenía ya de darles machetazo. Para empezar es buena variedad un poco tardía de lo que dicen pero me encantó cultivarla , aún con la plaga de trips que sufrí las 2 últimas semanas aguantaron y sacaron buenas flores. Las flores aparte se ven resinosas. La planta pues si creció vigorosa , no tiene mucho satélite es más porra central. a sido una genética con la que disfruté bastante, no fue muy complicada cultivarla.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 8 | Knowing When to Let Go Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Last week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A reminded me that every phenotype speaks its own language. This week, she had another message: Some leaves had simply done their job. At around 126 cm, she's continuing to develop beautifully, with her flowering sites becoming more defined and those beautiful white pistils multiplying across the plant. And as the flowers become the main event, it was time to give her a little more room to breathe. 🌿 Quick Recap Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of the more elegant plants in the room. She's maintained a strong, balanced structure with good spacing between flowering sites, while her flowers are steadily stacking along the branches. Compared with last week, the transition is becoming very clear: Less stretch. More flower. More pistils. More resin. The plant is increasingly putting her energy into building flowers rather than producing new structure. And that's exactly what we want to see at this stage. ✂️ A Little Cleaning Up This week we decided it was time for some selective defoliation. There were several older fan leaves that were no longer contributing much to the canopy. Some were sitting underneath other foliage, creating unnecessary shade, while others were simply aging and no longer playing an important role in the plant's current development. So rather than removing leaves just for the sake of making the plant look cleaner, we focused on removing what was no longer useful. The goal wasn't to strip her down. It was simply to improve: Light penetration Air movement Visibility of developing flowers Canopy organization Overall efficiency of the plant This is one of those moments where less really can be more. We're not trying to redesign the plant. We're simply helping her use the space she's already created. 🌸 White Hairs Taking Over The flowers are now becoming impossible to ignore. Fresh white pistils are emerging everywhere, wrapping around the developing buds and giving the entire plant that unmistakable early-to-mid flowering appearance. The individual flower sites are becoming much more pronounced, and the main colas are beginning to show their future shape. There's still plenty of development ahead, but we're moving beyond the stage of simply forming flowers. Now we're watching them build. And that's always one of my favourite parts of the journey. 🍃 The Foliage After last week's nutritional adjustment, the newer growth continues looking healthy and strong. The deep green leaves are still carrying plenty of energy, while the older foliage that had begun fading naturally is now being removed where appropriate. This is another good reminder of why I prefer to watch the whole plant rather than judge one leaf in isolation. A plant doesn't need every single leaf to remain perfect until harvest. Sometimes an older leaf has simply completed its mission. And that's okay. 🍽️ Feeding The AutoPot system continues providing consistent irrigation throughout the room. This week's nutrient mix 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 pH adjustment with Lemon Kick / pH Plus when required The reservoir remains shared across the room, so consistency is especially important. Chem Brûlée is responding beautifully to the current feeding strategy. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with very stable conditions: 🌡️ Day: 29°C 🌙 Night: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% 🌱 Root zone: 21°C 💦 Solution: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h Stable conditions continue giving the plants the freedom to focus on what matters now: building flowers. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really show the transition. The close-ups capture those beautiful white pistils exploding from the developing flowers, while the wider shots show how much the plant has changed as flowering progresses. And after the selective defoliation, the architecture of the plant becomes easier to appreciate. The flowers aren't hidden behind quite as much unnecessary foliage anymore. They're there. They're developing. And they're asking for time. 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week, I'm expecting the flowers to become increasingly dense and defined. The remaining stretch should be minimal now, while the plant continues putting energy into flower development and resin production. What I don't expect is dramatic intervention. No major training. No unnecessary stripping. No trying to force her into a shape she doesn't naturally want. We'll continue monitoring the foliage, keeping the environment stable, maintaining the reservoir and making only the adjustments the plant actually asks for. At this stage, the best thing we can give her is consistency and time. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and sharing this journey with me. Every comment, question and conversation makes this project more special. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, learn and share. 🍮 Zamnesia — for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for allowing us to discover just how different every phenotype can become. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the powerful lighting driving this garden. 🌿 LumiFlora — for helping illuminate those lower flowering sites with under-canopy lighting. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to every grower following along—whether you're commenting every week or simply watching quietly from the sidelines. This project is about more than growing plants. It's about learning to listen to them. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has another lesson for us this week: Sometimes knowing what to remove is just as important as knowing what to keep. Growers Love, and I'll see you next week! 🌱🍮💚

6.11. 2023 4:30 - It is time for a thorough flushing of the RQS genetics with osmotic water and I will use flawless finish from advanced nutrients to force the plant to absorb the remaining nutrients from the leaves. 7.11. 2023 5:00 - Careful observation of the trichomes and their coloration, I plan to harvest the plant when the trichomes start to turn amber. At the moment they seem to be slowly turning a milky colour and seem to be "filling up" 8.11. 2023 4:00 - The leaves seem to be slowly losing colour, especially in one RQS genetics the yellowing is quite pronounced. 8.11 2023 4:30 - I will try to remove all the old dead leaves and the ones that are already letting the plants go, but I will not cut any off, only the ones that can be easily removed. 9.11. 2023 20:00 - I think the trichomes are slowly filling up and harvest time is approaching with each passing day. 10.11. 2023 8:00 - I will try to participate in the competition with my 420 genetics for the best photo just for fun :) i have to take some photos with black background but for now it's just a test i will add some. 11.11. 2023 7:00 - The leaves on all plants are turning yellow but the waste water is still around 1800ppm. The odd thing is there are probably a lot of residual salts in the substrate from nutrients. Hopefully we can get as much of it cleared up before harvest. 12.11. 2023 20:00 - I'm waiting for the trichomes to turn amber. I'll be patient. Most of the trichomes are now snow white, but not all.

Week 11 Flw - Day 77 flw - Day 133 of cycle Jealousy is asking for harvest 😅 I had a closer look and smell it and I kind liked.. she is smelling a tangie/orange smell, with sweet citrusy.. buds are dense and heavy. It is gonna yield nicely(around 75-100g).. I am harvesting it in 5 days from now, as I will be away for few days and I will let it drying. Let’s go 🙏🏼💪🏼✨

Day 64 my baby is going really well by now, she s been running fast until now and I think that’s enough with fertiliser. From today o start my flush, I will give today my last dose of regulator and from next irrigation just on controlled water until the end of maturation, I want this baby to eat everything . day 65 started flushing. ph controlled water at 6.0 i think 20 more days at max before m Day 68 First check with micro today. The baby looks already milky and amber on the top buds but the rest of the plant is still transparent. I’ll wait at least until this weekend for a re check maybe I’ll cut her in two rounds. As I be been watching a lot with micro I noticed so many dust and other stuff on the buds so I think I’ll wash her in water. Today watered ph 6. Let’s see! 🌱🔥🌱🔥🌱🔥🔥

Getting thicker and denser by the day, and I'm getting really excited to see if my girl is going to push out some of the same gorgeous colors I've seen in the other grows I watch. I'll be well satisfied with my planning if I'm dry trimming by Thanksgiving weekend.

D65 Just a few days until the harvest, I'm checking the evolution of the trichomes and buds, we'll see what happens, I spent a lot of energy and hours I hope it will be worth it, meanwhile in my house there is the scent of ripe oranges and strawberries I hope to find the same aroma in the smoke. D68 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Purple Lemonade, no words for describe this magnificent plant! D69 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Banana Purple Punch and Cream cookies

Buds getting some swell on them now. Reek of sweet banana and some sour under tones. Weather as usual has gone a bit shitty on the final week or so but other wise going well. 0 bugs issues, a few signs of dying leafs. Can't wait

Eccoci qui... Siamo quasi alla fine del cultivo, odore, resina e colore ci sono. Attendiamo solo la maturazione delle cime che richiederà 1/2 settimane.... NON VEDO L'ORAAAA... Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

-Last week of flower They only get flawles finish from advanced nutrients. Friday i will stop giving them water and saturday they will be in 24u of darknes before chopping them down. The smell in the tent is amazing 👌 Fruity, gass , sour, and very potent. The buds en sugar leaves are coated in trichomes.
