11/17: I fed today but didn't have time for much of a photo session. Gave them One, Signal, Sweet & Sticky, Cha Ching, and started them on LiquidSoil. 11/19: The bigger plant just keeps putting on big swollen green calyx every day...such a big lovely freak! Amazing frost and pungent fuel aroma.😋 The smaller plant is a true beauty..got some purple in folage and flower and frosted over wonderfully. This pheno looks more like a Sugar Cane than the other.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 6 | Finding Her Own Pace Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the reasons I love running phenotype hunts is because they constantly remind me that there is no such thing as a "perfect timeline." Every plant has her own rhythm. Even sisters sharing the same genetics, the same room, the same lighting, and almost identical nutrition will often choose completely different paths. Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues to be the perfect example of that. While her sister has moved slightly further ahead, Pheno B is taking a steadier, more measured approach to flowering. She's still stretching, still building her structure, and quietly preparing for the weeks ahead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with growing at your own pace. Sometimes those who start a little slower end up surprising everyone in the end. 🌼 Flowers Are Taking Shape This week the flowering transition became even more obvious. The first pistils that appeared last week are now multiplying across the growing tips, with every branch beginning to establish its own future flower site. The main top is starting to take form, while the secondary branches are joining the party one by one. Everything still feels delicate, but that's exactly what makes this stage so exciting. These tiny clusters may not look impressive today, but in only a few weeks they'll become the dense flowers that make all the patience worthwhile. Watching that transformation never gets old. 🌿 Elegant Structure One thing I really enjoy about this phenotype is her overall architecture. Compared to her sister, Pheno B has developed a slightly more open canopy, allowing plenty of airflow and excellent light penetration throughout the plant. Every branch seems to have found its own place without much intervention from me. The internodal spacing is balanced, the stems are strong, and the canopy already has a very natural shape. Sometimes a plant almost trains herself. Those are always enjoyable grows. The foliage remains a rich healthy green, and she's showing plenty of energy as she continues building toward full flower production. 🌱 Gentle Guidance Training remains intentionally simple. Low Stress Training continues helping spread the branches while occasional leaf tucking allows light to reach developing flower sites hidden beneath the canopy. I've resisted the temptation to overwork her. At this stage the goal isn't to force the plant into a specific shape. It's simply to help her make the most of the structure she's already chosen. The less unnecessary stress we create now, the more energy she can dedicate to producing beautiful flowers later. 🍽️ Feeding Strategy Nutrition remains focused on supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining healthy vegetative growth during the final stretch. This week's feeding included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required Everything continues to be based on observation rather than routine. Plants don't read feeding charts. They tell us what they need through their growth, colour, and overall health. Learning to understand those signals is one of the most valuable skills any grower can develop. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues providing stable conditions for healthy flower development. Average conditions this week included: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With flowering progressing, humidity has gradually been reduced to create an ideal environment for the weeks ahead. Stable environmental conditions allow every phenotype to fully express its genetic potential without unnecessary stress. It's amazing how much difference consistency makes over an entire grow. 📸 Capturing Another Chapter This week's photographs show a plant that's confidently settling into early flower. The close-up shots reveal fresh white pistils appearing from every growing tip, while the wider photos showcase a beautifully balanced structure that promises excellent light distribution as the buds continue developing. One thing I particularly enjoy is seeing how different the two Chem Brûlée sisters already look despite sharing the same genetics. That's the beauty of phenotype hunting. No two stories are ever exactly the same. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect Chem Brûlée Pheno B to continue producing new pistils across the canopy while gradually slowing her vertical stretch. The individual flower sites should begin expanding, and the first signs of true bud stacking will become more noticeable. Training will remain light, allowing her natural shape to continue developing while simply helping every branch receive as much light as possible. She's growing with quiet confidence. And sometimes... Those are the plants that end up leaving the biggest impression. 💚 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 to have you along for every step of this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that fuels healthy growth day after day. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment around the clock. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and every person who stops by these diaries. Your encouragement, advice, questions, and conversations are what truly make this project worthwhile. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno B will continue proving that every phenotype has its own pace, its own personality, and its own unique story to tell. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

Cherry cola in the back right is catching up from starting off a mutant! The 2 lsd-25s up front are growing fast and great no problems at all with them. The back left is the big bud tied town with major lst and is also showing no problems. All 3 are going into flower the cherry cola I would say is about 2 weeks behind even though it was started the same time. (36days ago) cronk nutrients seems to be working well with the Bonnie and Clyde auto line! And got a greenhand genetics started in a 5 gallon pot in the middle

Week 9 All plants are growing vigorously in a healthy way. Side branches are stretching, structure is enlarging since topping. Approximately same size; the bigger are Flash Back #2 & Brake Pad Breath. Daylight 15h40 - 6h20/22h Found some aphids on the Royal Moby: I sprayed Black Soap on every plants and cleaned the infested plant leaf by leaf. I placed sticky traps in each pot: yellow, blue and black for the different type of insects Major parts of the time plants are in the veranda; clean, sunny and ventilated room. It’s easier to control pests and diseases, but the risk is the contamination between plants in this type of closed space. I sprayed Neem oil too. 2 watering: -roots stimulator + enzyme -grow nutrients + Bio Heaven Added more soil in pot (1.5L/plants) : Worm Humus + bat guano + diatomaceous earth (natural mineral insecticide) + vermiculite Sprayed Fish Mix.

I (pre-moistened) worked in 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water, with my fingers into this high-porosity soilless growing medium. This variant is very dry, and seems to reject water, until moistened(3cu ft compressed, Agro a5-hp from local nursery). Even after the 2.5 gallons of water was worked in (with no runoff), there was still a dry patch at the bottom of the pot.. I figured it would start to absorb from the wet medium on top, over time. It is now Day 10, and the moistened medium never needed to be watered since day 1. The medium is almost dry enough to be watered (see final picture). Maybe one or two more days. I will poke/scratch the soil daily, to ensure that I wait long enough, to not over-water.

Start in to week 7 As usual, she lost again some Fanleaf's 😏 She's getting really sticky and she's developing a stronger fruity smell in the last 2 days👍 Trying out a CO2 Bag.... And she gets another watering with 2l with 1g/l BioEnhancer Day 78. Day83 Trichome's are most milky and some few Ember at the Top's. Still few clear I think she get another Week and she will be finish👍

26.07. OG KUSH Day 92# OG made great progress this week, yesterday was the end of his thirteenth. While I'm writing this, the rain has started and these days there will be rain and storms again, so it will cool down a lot and in the next 10 days much more normal weather is expected (nights will not be normal though, it will go up to 14 degrees C). Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Week 10 Not so bad. I switched the light to flowering mode: 12h/24 end of week 9, just after the plants recovered from the stress period caused probably by a nutrient excess: lot of burned leaves. Green Punch was seriously injured, already weakened by Aphids. Treatment: sprayed Fertiliigène (Rapesseed oil) to eradicate this pest. Did it when lights off— 12h in darkness is better. Defoliation, cutting some low branches. Want to be sure that the grow tent and the room will be clean to start the seeding of the next session in 10 days. Light Ts 1000 x 2 — 85% Watering: 2 weeks without nutrients except Cal/Mag and Enzymes yesterday. AK47 and Bubble Gum are the most developed and healthy 👌with a regular canopy Sour Glue is stretching since few days, developing lot of blooming sites 👍 Royal Gorilla look still stressed 🤞 CaliFunk is still short, solid and bushy, look vigorous 🤔 Green Punch, always the last: injured and attacked by pest, recovering slowly but surely 👎

I have been using LST in the form of a fan on medium speed to try and strengthen the main stalk of the plant as well as planter rotation to strengthen the main stalk for tie down LST. So far I've been impressed with the rate of growth and the overall experiment. For what it's worth, the growth wth is very very similar to a hydroponics growth. I'm sure as the experiment continues I'll notice some big differences. It does appear to have either a minor potassium deficiency or a little too much nitrogen. Will monitor and update as needed. The above signs may have been trying to indicate the main stalk was weakening from too much weight from vertical grow rate. This would ultimately lead to a fractured stalk. Is this what happened or is it a fungus or disease problem? Plant C sprouted within 48hrs and will be 6 days behind Plant A. End goal of harvest is still 360g from the two plants combined. Both plants are looking very happy regardless of the toxicity or deficiency. Strong strain nonetheless.

This week I transplanted my little Strawberry Banana girl to a Big Girl Bed-LOL. Seriously though, I transplanted her to a large garden bed as opposed to 5 gallon pots like I usually do. I wanted to give this plant all the room she need to grow her very best. I'm curious to see if having a larger grow area will produce a larger plant. I am thinking more room for the roots to expand. My plant did not grow very much in height but the width of the leaves did grow. Weather has been very nice here this week.

Como estamos familia, a día de hoy, viernes, llevamos exactamente 7 días en la fase de floración y todas ellas están marcadas por su sexo. Todo va sobre ruedas, tenemos mínimas de 20,5 y maximas de 28,5 grados. la humedad no supera nunca el 60%. Altura mínima lemon kush 25cm. Altura maxima northern light xl 42cm. •las power plant xl Han pegado un estirón serio, están empezando a ensanchar bastante. •una marea verde desde semilla, con tan solo 5 semanas de crecimiento y un solo trasplante desde que se germinó, para controlar un mal crecimiento.
