This plant is the easiest plant I’ve grown! Takes well to everything organic!! She takes to training like an absolute champ! I can’t wait to see this Dinagirl in the end!! 🍿 😎

it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 5 | Giant Leaves, Big Dreams Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you’ve been following this project from the beginning, you’ll know that every phenotype is writing its own story. Although they all share the same room, the same environment, the same lighting schedule, and very similar nutrition, each plant continues to express herself in completely unique ways. That’s exactly why I love phenotype hunts. This project follows every plant individually using the 12/12 From Seed method, allowing each lady to decide for herself when she’s ready to leave vegetative growth behind and begin flowering. This week… Chem Brûlée Pheno A left absolutely no doubt. Flowering has officially begun. ⸻ 🌼 The First Flowers One of the most exciting moments during any grow is seeing those first bright white pistils appear. These delicate hairs are the female reproductive organs of the plant and mark the true beginning of flower production. During these first weeks, the plant is shifting priorities. Instead of investing all her energy into producing stems and leaves, she now begins building the framework that will eventually become dense, resin-coated flowers. Every new white hair is another small step toward harvest. It’s always an exciting stage to witness. ⸻ 🍃 Those Incredible Fan Leaves The first thing anyone notices about this phenotype… Those leaves. They’re absolutely enormous. Some of these fan leaves are nearly twice the size of my own hands—and I definitely don’t have tiny hands! Large fan leaves often indicate a plant that is photosynthesizing efficiently, capturing as much light energy as possible to fuel rapid development. They’re essentially giant solar panels. As long as they’re healthy, standing proudly, and maintaining a rich green colour, they’re doing exactly what nature designed them to do. At this stage I prefer to let them work. Every healthy leaf is another energy factory helping build the flowers that are only just beginning to form. ⸻ 🌱 Gentle Training Training continues to remain incredibly simple. No aggressive bending. No topping. No heavy defoliation. Instead, we’re relying mainly on gentle leaf tucking and subtle low-stress training to improve light penetration while allowing the plant to maintain her natural structure. Sometimes the best training isn’t forcing a plant into shape. Sometimes it’s simply helping her reveal the shape she already wanted to grow. So far… She’s rewarding that patience beautifully. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Life Chem Brûlée Pheno A is growing on the AutoPot irrigation system. Once the root system becomes established, the AquaValve automatically delivers nutrient solution from below whenever the plant drinks enough to lower the water level inside the tray. There’s no timer. No electricity controlling irrigation. No daily watering routine. The plant simply feeds herself whenever she needs it. It’s a remarkably elegant system that encourages consistent moisture levels while reducing stress caused by repeated drying cycles. This week I’ve also included photos comparing the nutrient solution used in the AutoPot reservoir with the hand-feeding mix used for the non-AutoPot plants. Although the recipes are very similar, the EC differs slightly because plants growing on AutoPots receive a constant supply of nutrients, allowing for a more stable feeding strategy. Every cultivation method has its own rhythm. Learning those rhythms is part of becoming a better grower. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding Strategy This week we adjusted the nutrition slightly to support the transition into flowering. The bloom nutrients are now beginning to take over while still providing enough support for the final stretch before flower production accelerates. As always, every adjustment is based on observation rather than routine. Healthy plants tell you what they need. You simply have to learn how to listen. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues running beautifully. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 31°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly higher during this transitional phase because the plants are still producing large amounts of fresh vegetative growth while stretching into flower. Over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced as flowers begin gaining density. The room itself is really starting to come alive now. Every day the canopy looks fuller, healthier, and more vibrant than the day before. Watching an entire room evolve together never gets old. ⸻ 📸 Capturing the Journey This week’s update includes bird’s-eye views, side profiles, close-ups, and room shots to document every stage of Chem Brûlée A’s development. One of my favourite details is simply seeing those giant fan leaves from different angles. Months from now they’ll be part of the story, reminding us where this beautiful lady began before her canopy disappears beneath a forest of flowers. That’s why I enjoy documenting everything. Not just the destination… But every step that leads there. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Next week I expect Chem Brûlée A to continue stretching while producing many more pistils across the canopy. Bud sites should become more clearly defined, and the first signs of flower stacking will begin to appear. Training will remain minimal, allowing her natural structure to continue developing while we simply guide her when necessary. Sometimes the biggest changes happen quietly. This feels like one of those moments. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you’re here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these incredible plants grow, I’m grateful you’re sharing this journey with me. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to learn, document, and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that powers every day of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally… Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even the occasional critic. Every visit, every comment, every bit of encouragement helps make these diaries something truly special. I’ll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue transforming those giant solar panels into the energy needed to build what promises to be some truly beautiful flowers. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Sticky Broccoli Auto – Week 8 Update (Week 4 Flower) Overall Plant Status Week 4 of flower and things are… interesting. All 4 plants are showing excellent health overall—no visible deficiencies, strong color, and vigorous growth. However, there are some growth irregularities across the canopy. • Bud structure is developing oddly and slower than expected • One plant (back left) is showing re-veg–like traits • Another (back right) is absolutely dumping trichomes early • Front two plants appear the most “normal,” but still not bulking heavily yet Despite being labeled an 8–9 week auto, this run is clearly trending longer. Estimated finish now looks closer to 11–13 weeks, likely leaning toward the longer end. ⸻ Environment & Light Notes • UV was being applied but has now been turned OFF (3/15) to rule out stress-related responses • Light schedule unchanged otherwise • Feeding timing: • Auto irrigation ~30 min after lights on (2:30 AM) • Secondary feed mid-day (~1:30–4 PM) Observation: The re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive leafy growth) is unusual for autos but can be triggered by: • Spectrum imbalance (UV/IR stress) • Genetic instability (more likely with some autos) • Environmental stress (though unlikely here given overall health) ⸻ Watering & Nutrients General Range This Week: • PPM: 860 → 1200 • pH: 5.7 – 5.9 • Runoff: 0% → 20% depending on day ⸻ 3/11 • 4 gallons total • Split feeding (AM + PM) • Minimal runoff initially, slight runoff later • 1200 PPM / 5.8 pH Per gallon: • .5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 5ml Cocos A • 15ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym • 3ml Green Sensation • 2ml Power Buds • 5ml Ruby Fulvic • 5ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/12 • 4 gallons total • ~20% runoff achieved • Plants evened out in height • 1000 PPM / 5.8 pH (Same mix minus Photosynthesis Plus) ⸻ 3/13 • Split feeding again (AM + PM) • ~15% runoff • 1000 PPM / 5.7 pH (Photosynthesis Plus reintroduced) ⸻ 3/14 • Light defoliation + lower branch cleanup • ~15% runoff • 860 PPM / 5.8 pH ⸻ 3/15 • No feed • Observed abnormalities: • Back left plant showing re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive foliage) • Back right plant heavily coated in trichomes • Front plants stable but slow to bulk • Action taken: UV turned OFF to troubleshoot ⸻ 3/16 • 4 gallons total • 10–15% runoff • 947 PPM / 5.9 pH Mixing order adjusted: • Silicium Bloom → MagCal → Green Sensation → Base nutrients → additives ⸻ 3/17 • 4 gallons total • Initial 0.5 gal per plant (low runoff) • Second feeding planned later • 940 PPM / 5.9 pH ⸻ Plant-Specific Observations Back Left Plant (Problem Child) • Throwing 3-finger leaves • Excessive leafy growth vs bud formation • Appears to be in a partial re-veg expression • Most likely cause: genetics or light spectrum sensitivity (UV suspect) Back Right Plant • Frost monster • Heavy trichome production early • Slightly behind on bulk but resin production is top tier Front Two Plants • Most stable phenotype • Normal structure • Slightly slow bulking but otherwise on track ⸻ Next Week Game Plan (Week 5 Flower) • Monitor re-veg plant for normalization after removing UV • Maintain: • 900–1000 PPM • 5.8–5.9 pH • Watch for: • Bud set transition → bulk phase • Consider: • Slight increase in PK (Green Sensation / Power Buds) if bulking still lags by end of Week 5

July 23: A great week of warm sunny weather with enough rain to prevent the garden from becoming too dry. Flowers are stacking... a bit leafy but dense. Smell is coming on strong and resin developing complexity of different fragrances. Purple Punch has great structure and nice smell I'm sure most would really like.

Final stretch, next week it's time to flush them. The smell is really strong when I open the bedroom door, I believe in an extremely satisfactory result.. ❄️💪🌲 ***The photo of the trichomes ended up getting mixed up, so I'll post photos of all the plants.

First day of flower 8/4/24. I defoliated, and set up a net to help buds to hold up and create an even canopy.

Gave water at 6.5ph will feed on week 3. I think I've had the light to close. On day 10 pictures you can see the leaves look like there burnt 🤔 or that's what I'm guessing it is. I've raised the light to 1meter it's only at around half power at the moment and showing 21000 lux.

not much to say they are beasting out! while they sit waiting to be planted outside. This weekend is go time. cant wait to see these girls at the end of the season.

Things are going well , almost done 2 weeks of flowering already tops are forming up nicely very excited to see what the future hold in store for me with these 2 lovely ladies I might start training them soon depending on growth so stay tuned for that ! Thanks for coming by and reading ! -Happy Growing!

Hi everyone, brothers farmers Welcome to a new week in the PeakyPlansters gardens. I invite you to follow all my friends from Instagram even if you like ... I hope the contents like you .... Feel free to leave a comment

Gave her a heavy defoliation! She's growing very strong, and needed a little thinning out! The defoliation promotes the lower buds growth, by allowing more light penetration! The defoliation also ensures that airflow throughout the plant is strong!

Week 3 D2 increased RH to ~70% D3 Height 14cm 1 / 13cm 2 Plants looking good. I'm full satisfied D4 3cm growth over night ***May the fourth be with you ;-)*** D5 1/19 cm 2/18 cm D7 No incidents, good week for the plants

Hello Growmies, As we wrap up the first week of vegetation for our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid by Zamnesia, we've observed that despite being a mere seven days behind, these plants are making their mark with remarkable uniformity. They might be smaller compared to their peers, but they're growing with a precision that speaks to their strong genetics. Their identical appearances aren't just skin deep; from their symmetrical leaf patterns to their sturdy little stems, it's as if they were meticulously 'copied and pasted'. Their compact nature is a characteristic of their breed, suggesting a deliberate breeding choice for a smaller, more manageable plant. The same attentive care provided to their companions in the tent—comprising the Orca, Rhizotonic, and pH-ed water blend, administered every three days—has been extended to these youngsters. And they've responded in kind, with a vibrancy that promises much for the weeks ahead. Even in these early days, the Watermelon Candy plants are showing a resilience that bodes well for their continued development. As they embark on the second week of vegetation, we’ll be keeping an eye out for the unique traits they'll undoubtedly begin to express as they grow. Stay lifted, Salokin

Buenas tardes familia, actualizamos semana y os traigo Malas noticias , una cookies no aguanto y tuvimos que quitarla, quedo atrapada en el caparazón de la semilla y murió. Pero renovaremos hueco no se preocupen 2/3 y por manazas por no quitar la semilla a tiempo . No obstante controlamos todo igual temperatura humedad todo correcto , no tiene que suponer problemas sacar el resto adelante. Os dejo algunas fotos y veis El Progreso.

Did a bit of lst and a feeding of 20ml bloom and barely and 5ml of grow and she loving it.

Comment dire que je suis content que cette white widow soit enfin fini, les semaines me paraissait longue. Mais quand je vois le résultat obtenu aujourd'hui , l'odeur dégager par la plante et merveilleux. J'attend avec impatience je pouvoir la fumer après 1 bon mois de curing après le séchage 😘👍

Alright Growmies!! So this Purple Ice Water is a bag seed I got from an amazing strain i had and was lucky enough to find hidden gem inside one if the beautiful nugs!! I think I have a photo in my Google photos I'll look for a picture of the flower the seed came from!! Anyway, I was going to enter the 16oz solo cup challenge but I didn't realize time was running out and so i had already planted the seed by then and of course she popped and I grow attached to them when that happens so here we are!! Not to mention, this is my first indoor grow and so I'm not thinking or planning as I should be and so guess what problem I ran into next...well my tent was now in flower so lights were kn 12/12...so 3 days into the new seed I planted, i need more hours of light for her and so you'll see my solution in the photo or video..my lady thought it was hilarious when she walked into the bathroom to get ready in the morning and a baby cannabis plant was handing from the light fixture lmao!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is only temporary fix and she is only hanging up there for a few hours then I place her back into the tent to give her that much needed light!! I could always do the window trick but hey this was too fun!! 1st week is going amazing, as it can go lmao!! Between day 5 and 6 I added some rain water. It rained for almost 3 days straight here in Arizona so it was nice to be able to capture some rain water for my girls for once! Those days are few and far between unfortunately!!

Day 45 - Mazar i Shariff x 2 are makin a comeback... lol one of the tanks dropped ph pretty fast and solution took on a tinted colour...... mmm.... might be water temp, tent temp went real high, first summer day, 30oC outside.... i'll have to watch tent/water temps closer..... goin to be hard doin this in summer.... might need more fans.... goin to have to adjust and play with the new tent and change of seasons...... mmm, more bubbles too, the containers are long... so i'll add a second air stone to each so the bubbles are thru out the whole container........ stagnate warm water...... prolly not good, lol need to cover root pots as well... 👍😎
