1/29/24 - Beginning of week. Looked good, was planning on letting it go another week but within a day the top leaves started turning yellow all over and I started seeing amber, just a few but spread out all over the plant, so last minute decision to harvest on 1/31/24.

Hi all hope everyone doin well and happy easter have a great weekend. I can't believe it,I survived another week without killing me babies ๐Ÿคฃha. I had 2 problems yesterday don't know how serious it is or will be to plants? My marshydro inline fan stopped working just when I started needed it for the smell but thats typical,its my life in nut shell ha ill have to start charging the owl neighbours for the lovely scent they about to receive ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃhow much do yas reckon is reasonable 100 euro whiff yeah haha.๐Ÿ˜‚was on marshydro about it so hopefully gets sorted soon there customer service straight back on to but was using it to control humidity so ordered a dehumidifier waiting on that now.in mean time that shot up to 85 90 percent,so open flaps on tent over night and then temps dropped to 17 degrees for lights out and continued like that for few hrs then went to 22 degrees and as high as 90 percent in humidity till got home from work all good now 24 degrees 65 humidity but I haven't a clue if I've fucked it all up.please let us know if all OK. They took a massive stretch in last week though and all looking amazing ๐Ÿ˜put light up to 100 percent 19 inches praying ๐Ÿ™ leafs ๐Ÿƒ so hopefully sweet spot for time being. done a bit of defoliating, bit leaf tucking were I could. sprayed a bit of canna cure jst at lights out.so to me everything looks as good as I could possible make for my first time ever even looking at a plant let alone looking after 2 of them ๐Ÿคฃhaha Thanks all for having a look and feedback needed and appreciated wouldn't have got this far without the help ive already received so please keep it coming its badly needed ha. Enjoy plus keep growing and blazing all God knows we bleeding deserve it.ha on to next week when magic starts happening โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿ™

Hey again my fellow growmies, Tomorrow being the 13th will be my last water change before i harvest on Sunday 17th. Then she would have been flushed for 14days and should be clean and nutrient free! The discoloration to her leaves show me that she is ready!!! Her smell is absolutely amazing I can't explain it. Apart from she smells like a candy store! Absolutely beautiful! Once harvested she will go into glass jars to be cured and then I can place a review and pics etc. Cannot wait!! Excited ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ’— ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜„ Till the next time peace and love to you all ๐Ÿ‘โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›๐ŸŒฑ

Hey Farmers, I hope the clones don't clutter the diary, or confuse you guys, wanted to show the progress and have some fun with a clone. One of them is now in a micro DWC setup, a reservoir of less than a litre she will be flipped pretty soon, to keep her compact. Now for the main plant, she's so incredibly bushy, I'm not going to veg much longer, in fact I might flip next week. She's very indica like in nature, very strange for tangie, Dutch passion notified me this seed batch stretches less, here's hoping i still get some sativa stretch.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50ยฐ F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we have lots of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 80's F. I watered today about 1.5-2 gallons per pot directly from the hose. Well water is 7.6 pH and about 50ยฐF. #1 and #2 got topped today. #2 was topped in the evening at 6.30 p.m. I waited for it to get a little more space between the nodes, so there's a bit of stem above the node. This will help it to not split. Day 2 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning followed by sunshine. The #3 plant was topped today. Day 3 we had lots of sunshine, temps in the mid 80's. That evening we had thunderstorms and rain which became severe that night. Hail was in the forecast but we missed it ๐Ÿ™. I noticed the number 1 plant was growing crooked. I had moved the pots to get more sunlight and the one was uneven. I did some moving and adjusting today and hopefully it will straighten up. Day 4 we had rain in the morning followed by rain and thunderstorms intermittently into the night. Day 5 we had rains early morning and then cloudy most of the day. We have sunshine in the forecast for the weekend. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ All pots were top dressed with 50ml of ferrous sulfate. Day 6 We had sunshine in the morning and afternoon. Clouds began to move in about 3.30p.m. Suddenly about 4:00 p.m. we had a severe thunderstorm that produced heavy rain and grape sized hail. Thankfully the hail only lasted a few minutes. There was some damage to this group, but only leaves. Day 7 we had sunshine, but cooler temperatures with highs reaching low to mid 70's. The plants began to show some Interveinal chlorosis in the new growth on day 5. I checked pH and it's above 7 in the pots. I added ferrous sulfate to counter this. On day 6 I noticed the #3 plant falling behind from receiving less direct sunlight. I've run out of space to accommodate the suns procession. I moved it to a better place for it to receive more sunlight. This week produced challenges. The topping was successful, but the position of the plants prevented some of them from receiving maximum direct sunlight. It took a few days to notice the affect on growth. We did not have much height gained this week. There was the issue with rising pH again, but this was promptly dealt with. We survived the challenging weather. Overall a successful week as lots of downward root growth was achieved. This will be evident next week as plants shoot up.

The flush begins for super lemon haze! What an awesome grow this lady has been. Running nutes at half the dosage compared to my previous grows and this lady was pretty happy. She did show some deficiency throughout the grow, but she did much better overall with less nutes, compared to my previous SLH grows. She's got about 5-10% amber, 20-30% cloudy and the rest are clear. She also has a moderate lemon aroma. Buds are very dense and larger than any previous SLH buds I've grown. So pumped to get this lady chopped, dried and cured, that lemon haze flavor just blows my mind and taste buds away! Thank you for taking a look ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐ŸŒณ

Harvest day, youโ€™d think Iโ€™d be excited and I was until last night. Iโ€™ve had to have my oldest Cat put down due to health reason ๐Ÿ˜ฟ I almost canโ€™t be bothered to do this update, but here I am ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ itโ€™s only one more entry. I harvested this plant at day 58 of flower, it feels like she matured and finished quite fast, always a good trait. Her buds are rock solid to the touch and almost wet with trichomes, if that makes sense?! I took some pictures just prior to harvesting her. Sheโ€™s now hanging on a peg hanger in my drying tent, cut into individual branches. She took barely any time all all to trim, sheโ€™s got a high bud to leaf ratio and everything I cut off will be dried, frozen and sifted to make Rosin. No waste at all. I aim to dry between 10-14 days, I generally keep the RH around 55% and the temp fluctuates around 18*C. Sheโ€™s been an easy plant to grow and Iโ€™d recommend these genetics, In House have really outdone themselves with this one! I donโ€™t usually do this, but Iโ€™m dedicating this grow to my Cat. (Iโ€™ve added some pictures of him) I got him when he was a little kitten and I was just a teenager, 20 years later and Iโ€™ve had to say goodbye to a very old friend ๐Ÿ–ค

Jan 15th - soil tests tonight / photos tonight 17th - soil ph is a tad over; 7.2 -7.3 - dinner served at a pH of 6.2 - dinner tonight; 1.5L pHโ€™d water ran through plant first, then fed 3L nutes/water posted above. This flow caused some Run-off, but not enough to properly measure EC value -near max on the tds, but it was the thickest dinner yet. (including molasses) follow-up tonight. 20th - Allowing the soil to dry an xtra day - brewing a compost tea for tomorrowโ€™s dinner. (black willie as well) Then back on schedule - Running 2 Aerated-Teas, staggered between heavy nutrient meals, I hope it nourishes the soil enough that we see a flourish of activity next weekโ€ฆ - first tea with bat guanoโ€ฆ Resting the banana lol Jan 21, - last day of the weekโ€ฆ finally the tent to themselves. Congo & Mystic are gone - tea tonight

I mean freaking 23 weeks... never again for shits and giggles. For a reveg it's a success. From potential 2g dried to maybe 14g is a good change. We will see the end result either way we got a few weeks left let's finish flushing her and getting ready for harvest!

๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ”ฅ Claiming Her Place In The Tent Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is... Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B. And honestly? This girl is starting to claim her place. Not because we're pushing her. Not because we're constantly training her. Not because we're trying to make her look like something she's not. She's doing it herself. Week after week, she's becoming more defined. More recognizable. More beautiful. More... Chem Brรปlรฉe. ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's evolving. She's developing. She's filling her space. And we're basically doing what we should be doing at this stage: Watching. Paying attention. Providing water. Providing nutrition. Providing light. Keeping the environment stable. And then... getting the hell out of her way. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Because this girl clearly knows what she's doing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week 12 โ€“ She's Claiming Her Space There's something different about looking at Pheno B now. Earlier in the grow, she was a plant we were trying to understand. We were watching her structure develop. Watching her stretch. Watching her flowering sites appear. Watching her decide how she wanted to occupy the room. Now? She's made her decision. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is her space. This is her structure. These are her flowers. This is her expression. And she's filling that space beautifully. She's not trying to become another phenotype. She's not trying to copy her sister. She's not following anyone else's schedule. She's simply continuing forward. And that's exactly what makes this part of the 8ร—8 Adventure so interesting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ The Grower Is Doing Less โ€“ And Seeing More One of the funniest things about getting deeper into flowering is that the amount of physical work can actually decrease... while the amount of observation increases. Earlier in the grow, there was always something to do. Training. Tucking. Defoliating. Positioning. Moving branches. Opening spaces. Managing the canopy. Now? Not really. And that's intentional. I'm not looking at this plant thinking: "What can I do to her today?" I'm looking at her thinking: "What is she telling me?" There's a huge difference. And right now she's telling me: "I'm good." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š So I'm listening. She's receiving what she needs. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is being adjusted as we move toward the later stages. The lighting is providing plenty of photons. The environment remains stable. And the plant is doing the rest. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ Chem Brรปlรฉe Is Becoming Herself This is probably my favourite part. At the beginning of a grow, a phenotype is a possibility. You have a seed. You have genetics. You have an idea of what might happen. Then the plant starts talking. And slowly... you start learning who she is. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has been particularly good at that. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. She's developing substantial flowering sites. She's producing frost. And she's got her own particular way of filling the room. At this point, I don't need to describe what she "might" become. I'm watching what she actually is becoming. And I have to say... I really like what I'm seeing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Doing The Talking Now The structure is already there. Now the flowers are taking over the conversation. And they're beautiful. The flowering sites continue developing. The buds are becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing gradually as the flowers mature. And the resin continues adding that beautiful frosty character we've been watching develop. This is one of those stages where the differences from one day to the next can be subtle. But compare photographs separated by a week... and suddenly the progression becomes obvious. More structure. More density. More maturity. More character. And that's exactly why these weekly reports exist. We're documenting the transition rather than simply showing the final result. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Identity The closer I get to this girl with the camera, the more she gives me. From a distance: Beautiful flowering plant. Move closer: Oh... there's the Chem Brรปlรฉe. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ The resin is becoming increasingly visible. The sugar leaves are carrying that frosty appearance. The flowers are developing more texture. And those little details are what make phenotype documentation so much fun. Every plant can look beautiful from across the tent. But when you start looking closely... that's where the individuality appears. And Pheno B definitely has individuality. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก The Artificial Sun Keeps Flying The lighting setup remains the same as the upgraded 8ร—8 environment. We've now got the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures contributing to the room. And we're not running them flat out. We're controlling the output at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. That gives us around: โ˜€๏ธ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And that's plenty of photons flying around this jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ But again, the important part isn't simply having more watts. It's having control. We increased the available lighting capability. We measured it. It went higher than we wanted. So we reduced the output. Now we have the headroom when we need it without unnecessarily pushing the equipment at maximum power. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ A Three-Dimensional Plant In A Three-Dimensional Light Field Pheno B is also a great example of why I don't think about the canopy as a flat surface. She's tall. Her flowers occupy different levels. Some are directly exposed to the upper light. Others sit deeper. Some leaves face the fixtures almost perfectly. Others naturally receive less direct illumination. That's simply how a plant works. She's three-dimensional. The light is three-dimensional. And the plant is constantly interpreting those photons according to where she has placed herself. We're providing the artificial sun. She's deciding what to do with it. And right now? She's doing quite a lot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ Nutrition โ€“ Beginning The Gradual Transition We're also beginning to move the nutrition toward the later stage of flowering. And, as with the rest of the room, we've made a small reduction in the flowering base. Terra Bloom is now: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L This has brought the EC down slightly to approximately: โšก EC โ€” 2.05 mS/cm The important part here is that I'm not interested in going from the current mineral feeding programme to absolutely nothing overnight. I personally prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. Another adjustment when appropriate. Observe again. We're approaching the final part of the flowering cycle, but that doesn't mean the plant suddenly stops needing everything the next morning. She's still alive. She's still functioning. She's still developing. And Pheno B is still very much working. So we're transitioning gradually rather than slamming the brakes. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Why I Prefer A Gradual Reduction When working with mineral nutrition, I personally prefer to decrease progressively as we approach the end. Not: "Full feed today." "Zero tomorrow." ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is no magic switch inside the plant that suddenly says: "Congratulations, you're finished." The transition is gradual. The plant changes gradually. The flowers mature gradually. The foliage changes gradually. So I prefer the nutritional transition to reflect that. We're reducing the base. We're watching the plant. We're watching the flowers. We're watching the foliage. And we're allowing the plant to tell us how she's progressing. Pheno B is still telling us: "Keep watching." So... we're watching. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Water โ€“ Still Giving Her What She Needs The same philosophy applies to irrigation. We're not trying to force anything. We're providing consistent water and nutrition through the system and watching the plant's demand. The current room setup remains around: ๐Ÿ’ง 1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with the root-zone and solution temperatures remaining around the mid-20s ยฐC. The exact numbers matter. But the consistency matters just as much. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a stable foundation from which she can continue doing what she's already doing. And she's doing it beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 12 โ€“ Current Room Conditions The 8ร—8 room continues under the same general conditions: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: approximately 26.5โ€“27ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: around 60โ€“61% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: around 25โ€“26ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: around 25ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: approximately 6.0 โ€ข โšก EC: approximately 2.05 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.4โ€“1.45 L/plant/24h โ€ข ๐ŸŒฑ Pot Size: 15 L โ€ข โ˜€๏ธ Upper Canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD โ€ข ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow fixtures: approximately 59% power from the plug The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. The irrigation remains consistent. And the plants are continuing to show us their individual responses. That's exactly what we're here to document. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ The Changing Flowers Tell Us More Every Week One of the things I really enjoy about this stage is watching the flowers evolve. Earlier on, you see lots of fresh white pistils. The flowers look young. Everything looks like it's still being built. Now? You start seeing subtle changes. Some pistils begin changing colour. Some curl inward. The flowers become more substantial. The resin becomes more visible. The overall shape becomes more mature. And those changes don't necessarily happen at the same speed across every plant. That's another beautiful part of the 8ร—8 experiment. Same room. Different genetics. Different expression. Different timeline. Pheno B is following her own. And she's doing a damn good job of it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Still No Need To Touch Her And this is probably worth repeating. Because somebody looking at the photographs might think: "Surely you're doing something to her?" No. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not really. I'm paying attention. That's different. I'm checking the flowers. I'm checking the foliage. I'm monitoring the environment. I'm watching the irrigation. I'm adjusting the nutrition gradually. I'm watching the lighting. But physically? I'm mostly leaving her alone. And that's because she doesn't need me to interfere. Her architecture is established. Her flowers are developing. Her leaves are functioning. She's healthy. She's occupying her space. Why would I start changing things simply because I feel like I should be doing something? Sometimes cultivation is knowing when to step back. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Gets The Attention Instead So instead of reaching into the canopy... I reach for the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And that's exactly what these photographs are for. The wide shots show her place in the tent. The medium shots show her structure. The close-ups show the flowers. And the macro photographs show the little details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. That's the beauty of keeping individual diaries. Pheno B doesn't have to compete with eleven other plants inside the same photograph. She gets her own frame. Her own page. Her own story. And honestly? She deserves it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ Same Room โ€“ Different Answers This remains the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional programme. Same grower. And completely different expressions. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B has given us one of those expressions. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. And now she's starting to claim her place in the room. Not because we're forcing her there. Because she grew into it. That's the difference. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ She's Not Trying To Be Anyone Else And I think that's something worth celebrating. She doesn't need to be her sister. She doesn't need to be the smallest plant. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant. She doesn't need to finish on somebody else's schedule. She doesn't need to have exactly the same flower structure as another phenotype. She's Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B. That's enough. And the further we move through the grow, the more obvious her identity becomes. That's the real reward of phenotype work. At first you grow the plant. Eventually... the plant tells you who she is. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Healthy Green Is Still Working And I also want to give some love to those green leaves. Because sometimes they don't get enough credit. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Those leaves are still doing their job. They're receiving photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're contributing to the plant's energy production. And while we're entering the later stages of flowering, we're not trying to force a particular colour change. We're allowing the plant to progress naturally. Some plants fade earlier. Some stay green longer. Some show colour changes in particular areas. Some remain surprisingly green almost all the way through. Again... the plant gets the final vote. And Pheno B is still carrying plenty of healthy green. So we're happy to see it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก The Photon Experiment Continues The additional Future of Grow fixtures continue to make this part of the 8ร—8 Adventure especially interesting. We have considerably more lighting capability than we had before. But we're using that capability intelligently. Approximately 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Strong artificial sunlight. Controlled output. And enough headroom to adjust if the plants ever tell us something different. That's the important part. The equipment gives us options. The plants give us information. And the grower makes small adjustments based on what they're seeing. That's the relationship. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead We're getting closer to the final chapters. But we're not rushing them. That's important. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B still has her own work to do. So we're going to continue: ๐ŸŒธ Watching the flowers โ„๏ธ Watching resin development ๐ŸŒฟ Watching the foliage ? Watching the pistils change ๐Ÿ’ง Maintaining consistent irrigation โš—๏ธ Gradually reducing the mineral base โ˜€๏ธ Maintaining the controlled lighting environment ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Monitoring the room ๐Ÿ“ธ Documenting everything No unnecessary intervention. No forcing. No rushing. Just observation and support. The plant knows the timeline better than we do. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฎ Final Thoughts โ€“ She's Claiming Her Place Week 12. And this girl is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is claiming her place in the tent. She's not doing it because we've forced her. She's not doing it because we've manipulated her into a certain shape. She's doing it because that's what her genetics have decided to express. She's evolving. She's flowering. She's building. She's frosting. She's filling her space. And we're simply here to support her. The lighting is there. The photons are flying. The irrigation is consistent. The nutrition is being gradually reduced as we approach the final part of the journey. Terra Bloom has moved down to: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L And the EC is now around: โšก 2.05 mS/cm. Nothing dramatic. Just a gradual transition. Because I don't believe in suddenly going from full mineral nutrition to zero overnight. I prefer to reduce gradually. Watch. Listen. Adjust. And let the plant tell me when she's ready for the next step. And Pheno B? She's talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ She's saying: "I'm doing just fine." So... keep doing your thing, girl. Keep claiming your space. Keep developing those flowers. Keep shining under that artificial sun. And keep showing us exactly what this beautiful expression of Chem Brรปlรฉe can become. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every damn minute of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and document this phenotype throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the nutrition helping these girls continue through flowering and into their final stages. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in the 8ร—8. Having the ability to increase the lighting capability, measure what happens, reduce the output and then find a practical operating point has been an amazing part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. More capability. More control. And no need to waste power simply because we have it available. Thank you to Lumiflora for continuing to help bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore the plants as three-dimensional structures. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week you come back. Every week you watch another phenotype evolve. Every week we get another little piece of the puzzle. And that's what makes this project so special. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B is writing hers with confidence. She's claiming her place. She's evolving. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more and more herself. And we're not forcing the story. We're simply providing the stage. The plant is doing the rest. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the environment stable. And let's let this beautiful girl continue writing her story. Until next week... Keep shining, Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno B. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

10/8 - Gave Willow her last feeding. Flushing from here on out. 10/9 - began flushing Buffy. It is looking like Willow will go for at least a week longer than Buffy. I am scrambling to figure out an alternative drying space/option. 10/11 - began flushing Willow 10/13 - I am guessing Buffy will be harvested in the next couple days. Willow looks to need another 7-10 days.

Got everything moved around & the new carbon filter, fans & lights so hopefully I got better coverage with less power๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Topped 1 of the Gelato OGs today was getting way taller than the rest we will see how she bounces back! Everything else seems to be going great! Day 22 topped & trimmed them up a bit Day 23 started LST on a few Day 24 started mainline on one of the GZ Day 25 trimmed them a little more today
