ultima semana antes de la cosecha, esta semana no realizamos riego con fertilizantes, solamente regamos con agua para poder retirar lo maximo posible de quimicos y tener una cosecha mas limpia

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 9 | Small? Maybe. Beautiful? Absolutely. ❄️🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week, Chem Brûlée Pheno A has something very simple to say: You don't have to be the biggest plant in the room to be one of the most beautiful. At approximately 126 cm, she certainly isn't the smallest plant in the garden. But she's also not trying to become the biggest. She's simply doing her thing. Growing. Flowering. Stacking. And increasingly covering herself in frost. And honestly... she's beautiful. 🍮❄️ 🌱 A Quick Look Back Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to be one of those plants that has developed her own identity throughout this adventure. From the beginning, we've watched her establish a strong structure and gradually transition from producing plant architecture to putting more and more energy into flowers. Last week, we gave her a little selective cleanup. Not because the calendar told us to. Not because we wanted to make her look "perfect." But because some leaves had simply reached the end of their useful contribution, while opening a little space around the canopy made sense. And that's the approach we're continuing with. Read the plant. Respond to the plant. Then let her grow. This week, the result is becoming increasingly obvious. The plant is settling into flower. And the flowers are becoming the stars of the show. 🌸 The Flowers Are Taking Over This is where Chem Brûlée really starts to shine. The developing flowers are becoming much more pronounced now, with increasingly defined structures throughout the plant. Those beautiful white pistils are still reaching out from the flowers, but something else is becoming much harder to miss. The frost. ❄️❄️❄️ The resin coverage is building. Looking at the close-up photographs, you can see that the sugar leaves and developing flowers are becoming increasingly coated. We're still not at the finished product, of course. There is plenty of flowering time ahead. But we're definitely entering that stage where you can start seeing the plant's character developing through the resin. And that's one of my favourite transitions in the entire grow. Early flower is exciting because the flowers appear. Mid flower becomes exciting because suddenly you start seeing what those flowers might become. Chem Brûlée is entering that territory now. ❄️ Frost Is Coming If I had to choose one word for this week's photographic update... Frost. 😂❄️ The resin production is becoming increasingly visible, and the close-ups really capture it. Those developing flowers are surrounded by sparkling trichome-covered surfaces, while the pistils continue creating that beautiful contrast against the green foliage. It's still early enough that the plant has plenty of work to do. But we're getting the first real glimpse of what makes this phenotype special. And I have to admit... I could probably spend far too much time standing there with the macro lens looking at her. One photograph becomes ten. Ten becomes twenty. And suddenly I've been standing in the jungle taking pictures of one flower for half an hour. 😂📸🌿 But that's part of the fun. 🌿 She Doesn't Need to Be the Biggest One thing I really want to emphasize with Chem Brûlée Pheno A is that I'm not judging her against the tallest plants in the room. Yes, there are girls in the 8×8 Adventure who are taller. Some have stretched more. Some occupy more physical space. But that's not the only measurement of a successful plant. Chem Brûlée has created her own structure. She's filling the space she's been given. She's producing flowering sites throughout that structure. And now those flowers are developing beautifully. That's what matters. A phenotype doesn't have to win the height competition. She just needs to show us what she can do. And she's doing exactly that. 🔬 Her Structure Is Becoming More Interesting The further we move into flowering, the easier it becomes to understand the architecture she created earlier in the run. The branches are now carrying developing flowers rather than simply supporting vegetative growth. The spacing between the flowering sites gives us a good view of the individual structures, while the remaining foliage continues supporting the plant through this important stage. And this is where the earlier selective training and cleaning start making more sense. We're no longer trying to create the plant. The plant has already created herself. Now we're simply supporting the structure she chose. That's something I really enjoy about this run. The grower starts with an idea. The plant then says: "That's nice... but here's what I'm actually going to do." 😂 And our job is to adapt. ✂️ Selective Cleaning – Keep It Sensible The selective defoliation from last week has left the plant with a little more breathing room without compromising the healthy canopy. And we're going to continue treating defoliation as a tool rather than a scheduled event. If a leaf is blocking an important flowering site... we can remove it. If a leaf is damaged or no longer contributing... we can remove it. If a part of the canopy is becoming unnecessarily crowded... we can open it. But if a healthy leaf is doing exactly what we want it to do? Let her work. 🌿 There's no reason to remove healthy foliage simply because we're in flower. The goal is balance. Enough foliage to support the plant. Enough space for light and airflow. And enough openness to avoid creating unnecessary dense pockets around the developing flowers. It's a living canopy, not a haircut appointment. 😂✂️ 💨 Airflow & Flower Development As the flowers continue increasing in size and density, airflow becomes increasingly important. The room is carrying twelve different plants, and every phenotype creates its own microclimate. That's another reason I like keeping an eye on canopy density rather than treating every plant identically. Chem Brûlée has plenty of foliage, but we're keeping an eye on the areas where leaves and flowers begin getting too crowded. A little extra space can help air move through the plant. And as the flowers continue developing, that's something I definitely want. We're not trying to eliminate every gram of humidity from the room. We're simply trying to avoid unnecessary stagnant pockets around increasingly dense flowers. Healthy airflow is part of the overall strategy. 💡 Light – Give the Flowers What They Need The lighting setup continues providing the room with strong overhead illumination, while the additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps support areas that naturally receive less light. And Chem Brûlée's structure gives us plenty of interesting angles to work with. The developing flowers aren't all sitting at exactly the same height. They're distributed throughout the plant. That means the combination of canopy structure and supplemental lighting becomes particularly useful. The objective isn't simply: "More light." It's: "Useful light reaching as much of the productive plant as reasonably possible." And that's an important distinction. More isn't automatically better. We're looking for balance between light intensity, temperature, CO₂, nutrition and plant health. Right now, she appears very comfortable with the environment she's receiving. ⚗️ Feeding – No Need to Reinvent Anything The feeding strategy remains consistent with last week. We're continuing with: 🌱 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 Lemon Kick / pH Plus used as required to maintain the target pH. Current solution: ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm And once again, I'm not interested in changing something just because another week has passed. She's growing. She's flowering. She's producing resin. She's maintaining beautiful foliage. Those are all good reasons to stay consistent. The plants don't receive extra points for having their nutrient recipe changed every seven days. Sometimes the best adjustment is: no adjustment. 🌡️ Current Environment The room continues running with a remarkably stable flowering environment: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% 🥥 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable, and that stability is particularly valuable now. We're moving further into flower. The flowers are becoming denser. Resin production is increasing. And consistency gives the plants the opportunity to focus on development rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. 🌙 Day vs Night One thing I continue paying attention to is the relationship between the daytime and nighttime conditions. We're running around 29°C during the day and 25°C at night, giving us a noticeable but controlled temperature difference. That daily rhythm is part of the overall environment rather than something we're looking at in isolation. Temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO₂ and plant transpiration all interact. And that's why I prefer looking at the room as a system. You can change one number and accidentally change several other things along with it. For now, the system is behaving nicely. So once again... don't fix what isn't broken. 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really made me appreciate her. The wider photographs show the plant's overall structure. But the close-ups? That's where she really starts showing off. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly complex. The pistils are still beautiful and prominent. And the resin is beginning to give the flowers that characteristic frosted appearance. There are moments where I look through the camera and think: "Okay... now I see you." 😂❄️ That's what makes documenting a grow so rewarding. The plant changes gradually enough that when you see her every day, you don't always notice how much has happened. Then you compare photographs from previous weeks... and suddenly the difference is obvious. 🌿 My Little Jungle And honestly, I'm having an absolute blast with this run. There are twelve plants in there. Twelve different personalities. Twelve different structures. And now twelve different flowering stories developing in front of me. I walk into that room and sometimes feel like I'm Tarzan wandering around his little jungle. 😂🌿 Checking flowers. Looking underneath leaves. Watching the canopy. Taking photographs. Looking for anything unusual. And most importantly... learning. That's what this entire adventure has become for me. Every plant teaches something. Every phenotype gives us another comparison. Every week gives us another opportunity to adapt. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is teaching us that beauty doesn't need to come from size. Sometimes it's sitting right there in the flowers. Covered in frost. Waiting for you to notice. 🔮 Looking Ahead The next week should be another interesting step forward. I'm expecting: ❄️ Increasing resin production 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further pistil development 🌿 Healthy foliage supporting the flowers 📈 More definition and density throughout the developing colas And what am I planning to do? Honestly... Not much. 😂 I'll continue observing. I'll keep the environment stable. I'll maintain the current feeding strategy while watching her response. I'll clean selectively if the plant gives me a reason to. And I'll keep photographing her. Because at this stage, patience is becoming increasingly important. We've built the structure. We've established the flowers. Now we let Chem Brûlée put the work into them. 🍮 Small? No. Her Own Kind of Beautiful. That's probably the biggest message I take from this week. Chem Brûlée Pheno A may not be the biggest girl in the room. But stand in front of her. Look closely. Look at the flowers. Look at the structure. Look at the pistils. Look at that frost beginning to build. She's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. There is no reason for her to compete with another phenotype. She doesn't need to be taller. She doesn't need to be wider. She doesn't need to stretch another twenty centimetres just so we can call her impressive. She's already impressive. Because she's becoming herself. And that's exactly what this 8×8 Adventure is all about. 💚 One More Week, One More Lesson Every week I become more convinced that growing is less about controlling plants and more about learning how to understand them. We create the environment. We provide the light. We provide the nutrition. We provide water. We make adjustments when necessary. But ultimately... the plant decides what she's going to become. Chem Brûlée Pheno A has made her decision. She's going to be elegant. She's going to be beautiful. She's going to build flowers. And apparently... she's going to get very, very frosty. ❄️🍮🔥 And I am absolutely here for it. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 Every week, this project becomes another little lesson in genetics, observation and patience. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document this journey and share it with the growing community. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these phenotypes can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the lighting powering this jungle. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those lower and inner flowering areas. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep an eye on the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Whether you're here every week, dropping comments, asking questions, taking inspiration, or simply enjoying the photographs... thank you. 💚 This adventure has become so much more than twelve plants growing in one room. It's twelve different stories. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has another beautiful chapter for us this week. She may not be the biggest. She doesn't need to be. She's beautiful. She's building frost. She's developing her flowers. She's doing exactly what she needs to do. So let's stop comparing her to everyone else... and simply let her shine. Because she deserves it. 🍮❄️🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the jungle. 🌿📸

Second week. It's growing very fast now

They are strong. The no4 girl is huge, had to top her, no lst and going to flip her at young age with the rest of her sisters

Sticky beast is waiting for some good sunrays so she can break out of my garden!!😎👏👏👏 Garden is smelling real sweet too, thanks to her 😵👌 I love her structure, i have topped her, but LST was not that necessary.. only defoliation, a lil bit.. i love that bc i hate LST, (im not that good in it..😳) She turned out great, she grew open and wide.. just by herself. 😇👍(maybe also becouse i let her dance in the wind 😎 and move her around a lot) Lots of bad weather this week(cold and wet, she is in greenhouse a lot).. but luckily her buds are still healthy👌 And dont forget: FOR ALL MY GROWBRETHREN/SISTREN IS A DISCOUNT CODE: ZAMMIGD2023 happy growing for all ✊

The situation is the one with lower level of soil started flowering while the other ones continued to grow so i had to start feeding them differentially starting giving 2ml/l of Bioflower in addiction to the other one to the flowering plant.

Light experimental LST throughout the week. Started getting signs of root rot on 7/3/2023. The res had started to smell like a pond, and the roots were browning heavily. Added 35mL of 3% H2O2 to the reservoir, followed by a double dose (~16mL) of Hydroguard

This was day after transplant. They immediately started loving it outside. I gave the blood diamond OG to my neighbor for his yard, just to keep the count legal. The lilac autoflower was showing signs of mutations early, I'm interested to see what it ends up looking like. The mutation appears to be fasciation. I've upload a video of it, the upper main stem looks like it's 3 stems wide & semi flat. Gonna let it keep riding the wave lol The garlic fever is having a great time in the sunshine, it's bigger than all the other plants.

These cali genetics are blowing my mind 🤯 super sticky, very frosty rock dence buds with extra strong smells. All 3 strains are 10 out of 10, very impressed. Done last defoliation few days ago, preparing for the harvest so it's much easier. Stalks are super fat, same as buds. Got big surprise from Atami, plant food, and many extras. Crazy. Thanks a lot guys. 💚 Start adding you Bloombastic food already. They love it. Smell is mad. I think most of plants ready in week or so.

Bernice (my largest at 6" tall) got topped today after the 4th node. All 3 others will wait a few more days till they reach the same height and node spacing/growth. Will start foliar feeding of (1 gal water/2ml - liquid seaweed/2ml - gold shield silica/2ml boomerang) tonight on 03/06/21. Plants seem to be drinking water a bit more this week, meaning their root systems are growing and getting stronger. Will likely feed plain RO water tomorrow and check runoff PPM & PH. All in all they're growing much better, at the start of this week they were showing signs of deficiencies, due to me not giving them a good feeding early enough (I was afraid of over-feeding and instead under-fed!). Due to under-feeding some of my fan leaves on the early growth have gotten some brown spots, which I'm unconcerned with as these will eventually either fall off or be trimmed off by myself before sending to flower.

Explosión de resina!!! Una genética que no me deja de sorprender un olor brutal a cítricos y su olor a Haze un gustazo pra la vista y el paladar sin duda esperamos impacientemente el dia de degustar este manjar!! Espero que os guste Salut y força al canut Farmers!🍁

Visto que el agua de base sale con unos valores muy altos he decido obtar por mezclar el agua de riego con agua destilada mitad/mitad. De esta forma le podré aportar mayor cantidad de nutrientes sin que los valores suban excesivamente. Por otro lado también le añadiré ácido cítrico para bajar el PH. Os presento como voy regando, es un inventillo que hace años hice y sigue dando guerra. Va muy bién para repartir el agua y relentiza el riego haciendo que el agua vaya filtrando mejor por el sustrato. El embudo lleva una malla donde se quedan los restos más grandes y así no se atasquen los abujeros. Alguno dirá que pierde agua pero no es así, el agua que cae fuera es por que no tube punteria al llenar el emudo y casi lo tiro todo fuera. No se puede hacer tres cosas a la vez, soy hombre hehehe. no podia rellenar el embudo, regar y filmar con el movil al mismo tiempo. Y a más el video está reducido a cámara rápida por lo que parece que pierda aun más rápido.

Ok

Ich lass sie Machen. Sie hat sich berappelt, darum bei dieser gar kein Stress. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Buds keep fattening up more and more, this should be the amazing phenomenon Carl Linneus talked about Flowers are getting enormous, gross, monster buds, everyone told me i had not enough light, not enough air flow, not enough badabee badaba but honestly i see them right, beautiful and healthy Please, SUGGEST ME anything you can think about and ill try to improve it

Plantulas mostrando un buen enraizamiento. Se preparo una solucion de Elite 91 Myco Jordan iniciando la semana con: -PPM : 80 -pH : 5.8 3/7/2022 se transplanto a cubos de lana de roca de 15cm x 15cm. Los cubos fueron submergidos bajo una solucion de Mills Start R con: PPM : 100 pH: 5.7 En el transplante se uso Elite 91 Myco Jordan en forma de polvo para cubrir el hueco del cubo y cubrir las raizes de las plantulas para reducir el estres del transplante.
