4/13 10TH planet is doing phenomenal under those aerogarden lights. I'll wait a little bit then I'll bring them over with the others. I'm comparing the growth to the growth of the mk ultra and the chem dog as they are of a more similar age. I watered the 2 mk ultra and the chem dog #4. The others looked alright so I'll check later on. The three in the middle will probably be culled. The may recover but if they don't it doesn't really matter. I'll have what I need. I'm super excited for this season. I shouldve done more 10th planet. The "kush" seedlings are starting to take off. The leaves are finally starting to get bigger and they are developing new growth. WENT BACK OVER AT 1:30. PLANTS WILL NEED TO BE WATERED IN THE MORNING. ONE PLANT WAS DOWN TO 199 GRAMS BUT IT HAS A LITTLE LESS SOIL IN THE CUP. THEY ARE GROWING AT A MORE RAPID PACE AND I DONT WANT TO INTERRUPT THAT. OTHER CUPS WERE LOW BUT NOT READY TO BE WATERED. I THINK EITHER WAY IT WOULD BE FINE BUT IM ERRING ON THE EDGE OF CAUTION. I MAYBE SHOULDVE WATERED THE DRY ONE BUT HINDSIGHT IS 20/20 AND I KIND OF WANT THEM TO BE ON A SIMILAR SCHEDULE. I GRABVED A TACK AND CHECKED THE DRAIMAGE IN THE BOTTOM. I ADDED A FEW MORE HOLES OB THE BOTTOM SIDE. I MAY JUST HAVE TO JUNK THAT MIDDLE ROW OF 3 I STRESSED BY DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE LIGHT MANUAL SAID TO DO. OH WELL I PLANNED FOR THAT WITH THE 2 MK ULTRAS AND THE CHEM DOG #4. ALL ARE DOING GREAT. SOME OF THE SOECIAL AND PINK KUSH ARE GETTING THEIR TERTIARY SET OF LEAVES SO THEY ARE PULLING OUT AND GOING TO TOWN. THE ITHER ONES (MK ULTRA, CHEM DOG, 10TH PLANET) THAT DIDNT GET STRESSED SEEM TO BE GROWING AT A FASTER RATE. I THINK I MIGHT TRY AN AUTO THIS YEAR. I HAVE A FEW BEANS. ILL THINK ABOUT IT BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE FRESH WEED HALF-WAY THROUGH THE SUMMER. 4/14 WATERED ALL THE KUSH WITH A SHOT GLASS. THEY WERE VERY DRY. ONE WAS IN THE 180'S. I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE PLANTS THAT WAS STINTED HAS FALLEN OVER AND WAS LIMP AGAINST THE CUP. I IMMEDIATELY REMOVED TGE TWO SEEDLINGS THAT WERE BY FAR THE WORST AND I ASSUMED I WAS LOSING. I TOOK THE PEAT PELLET OUT AND THE TAPROOT HAD BARELY PENETRATED ONE AND HADN'T PENETRATED IT AT ALL ON THE OTHER ONE. IM NOT USING THOSE PEAT PELLETS AGAIN. ITS WIERD. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. PLANTS SEEM TO BE DOING GOOD. IM CONSIDERING STARTING ANOTHER SEED OR TWO. MAYBE AN AUTO. Edit. I added mykos amd happy happy frog to the 10th planet in the solo cups. They are already to the top. I watered them with a shot glass of water amd some mykos. 4/15 I added soil to the top of the cup on kush plants and watered them with a shot glass. It seems like I may need to up the water as it's only lasting about a day. I'm seeing some slight stretching but I have no idea why. They are just seedlings and it's a 150watt hps light! Last year I used 2! I think they needed to stay under the cfl's a little longer and thatci nightve stressed them prematurelyremoving some helmet heads. Or maybe they are having problems breaking through the pear netting. I'll tell you one thing im NEVER using peat pellets again. I have other seeds and autos I could start if needed. I have what i need but if I lose a few more I'll be pissed. Maybe better to startca couole more. Those 10thvplanet are doing amazing and blowing past everything else. They look so healthy. I'm going to download a light meter on dad's iPhone and get some readings with all the different lights today. 4/16 I was able to download a FREE app for a light meter. Apple has one bit you have to pay for readings of any of the "good" lights. I had a very hurried morning and didn't take any pictures. That one special kush that was burned like the other two I threw away (or damaged when I removed the helmet head) is starting to look like it has some NEW growth. I've kept it but a little ways away from the others. I weighed all cups and they didn't seem to need water. I AGAIN packed dry soil into a cup to get a reading. Still 200. When they get within 10 grams of dry weight I'll water them. I measured and found I had the light further away than it should be. I lowered it to approx 3ft from the top of the canopy. I'll try to map the area and see what I'm getting for results. Then I'll plug in my L.E.D and see what I get. I only lowered the light because readings (that may be inaccurate) say it's not enough and two years ago when I used this light i used two. That is unnecessary I think for seedlings. I'm just trying to get them through seedling phase intact so I can move to veg and switch my light. Transplantvinto one gallons. This is where patience comes in. I'm sure everything will be fine. I just am a worrier. 4/17 I used that light meter to check the ppfd. It says it should be between 100-200 but it was only reading at like 65 and this was after I lowered the light. I'd need to go down a ways to get anywhere close. I tried to check my l.e.d and that was low so I can switch back fine. Especially with the light meter app. However the plants seem to be doing better and have tertiary leaves so I'm hesitant to change things when they seem like they are having a growth spurt. I may take the 2 mk ultras and put them with 10th planet since they are doing so good. Won't let me upload pictures. WATERED ALL THE KUSH WITH A SHOT GLASS. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AND USED THE PHONE APP METER ON THE LATEST IPHONE. I LOWERED THE LIGHT RO A LITTLE UNDER THREE FEET. THAT GAVE ME ABOUT 100-120 ON THE HOTTEST SPOT AND LESS FURTHER AWAY OBVIOUSLY. IM TAKING THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. I MEASURED ME 100 WATT LED AND WITH BOTH SWITCHES ON I CAN REACH OVER 100 EASY FROM FAIRLY FAR AWAY. ILL BE MONITORING GROWTH AND DECIDING HOW TO MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. I TOOK THE DOMES OFF THE 19TH PLANET BUT THE LEAF TIPS STARTED TO CURL. THE NEED TO BE HARDWNED OFF. THE CFL WAS TO CLOEE AND BRIGHT BUT MORE SO WAS THE RH OF THIS BUILDING WHICH IS PRACTICALLY NOTHING. ILL HAVE TO MOCE THEM WITH THE OTHERS. UNTIL THEN I POKED HOLES WITH A TAC ALL OVER THE DOME. THAT WAY IT CAN VENT A LITTLE BIT. I'LL SLOWLY ACCLIMATE UT TO THE LOW RH INDOORS BEFORE THE GO TO THE 100RH OUTDOORS LOL. 4/18 Didn't water this morning because things were over 20grams dry weight. Came back around one and weighed and most were within the 20 grams. One was under 200. I can see more growth since the light adjustment but I still see some stretching. But I've seen noticeable growth in a short period. I'm contemplating waiting to see what happens for a few days or to just switch to my l.e.d using my meter as a guide. Even though the box tells you how far to hang it. I'm bringing the aerogarden over to the grow tomorrow. I have a few more as well. I'm going to check that with the light meter and am considering putting the mk ultras and maybe the chem dog under that. I mean those are doing great. I poked more holes in the dome and have been exposing the plants to low rh and increased light. They don't have immediate effects anymore. I have the domes popped open too. They are gett9ng acclimated. Realistically I'm wondering if I should just pop more 10th planet or mk ultra or an auto but looking through my other diaries things will be fine. I worry to much and I usually grow clones. Outdoors. Plus most of my stuff was stolen so I'm making use of things the best I can. My money is going into good soil. I also checked the temperature at the hottest spot under the light and it was 80 degrees. This is telling my I can't really lower my light anymore. I've got some thinking to do. EDIT: 10th Planet has done well all day without a humidity dome in this extremely low rh. I'm going to bring them and the aerogarden to the grow tomorrow. I have my l.e.d setup to test. I plan to use the light meter to see what is closest to the correct ppfd. A lot of it will be gut feeling too. I'm interested to see the reading on the new aerogarden bulbs. Those seedlings are doing awesome. 4/19 Didn't water this morning I don't think. I was hurried. Got back and found one seedling that had been growing some bigger leaves just flat on the cup. Luckily I had noticed it drooping (should've watered) and picked up a straw on the way home. It weighed 180 grams. Everything was low and I MAY have watered yesterday bit I don't think so. With this hps so close its bringing the temp up to 80. I checked the cfl aerogarden lights. Wow are those bright! I had to raise them to get in range. I put the mk ultra and chemdog under the aerogardeb light. It's about 300 bit it has a couple hot spots that bring it up to like 4k-5k. The 10th planet's loved it though and did great. I held my hand over the plants and it seemed ok. Now for the hps light and the pink kush and special kush #1. I put my tatu 100 watt (1000 watt equivelant lol) 248ns above the seedlings I had just watered. Since that hps dried everything out so much I gave them 2 shot glasses. I'll keep monitoring things. I feel like this is the best bet for me. If I fuck something up I'll have to pop more 10th planet and mk ultra ect. But I've got to make sure things are in the right range. If it stretches a little I'll just have to repot it a little sooner than the others. When they outgrow the solos they go to 1 gallon. Tomorrow I'm picking up AT LEAST a bag of fox farm ocean forest so I'll be ready for transplant when necessary. I need to get all my pots together and bring the other hps to my cousin to fix. However when they get bigger I might just use the l.e.d AND the hps if I had too.

๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 ๐ŸŒธ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’š The Bud Rot That Wasn't โ€” She's Back in the Spotlight! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this week... I think we need to start with an apology. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š Because last week, we had the bud rot discussion. We had trouble. We had concerns. We had one sister that unfortunately lost her main cola. And in the middle of all that... Cash Express Pheno B got caught up in the story. But this week? Let's make something very clear: There is NO bud rot on this girl. None. Niente. Nothing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She's shining. She's growing. She's evolving. She's looking absolutely beautiful. And honestly... I'm very happy to be able to say that. Because when you're running a room with this many plants, the last thing you want is to see a problem spreading from one plant to another. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's doing absolutely fine. She's standing there looking at me like: "See? I told you I'm okay." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š And she is. She's okay. More than okay, actually. She's looking fucking beautiful. So let's forget the drama for a moment. Let's give this girl the studio treatment she deserves. We took her out. We photographed her properly. We gave her some attention. And now... it's time to let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ 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™ First โ€” Let's Correct The Story Before anything else... I'm happy to correct the record. Last week was a very different kind of report, and understandably, the attention was on the bud rot situation we found elsewhere. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's clean. She's healthy-looking. She's developing beautifully. And there are absolutely no signs of bud rot on her. So... sorry, beautiful girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š You got dragged into the drama. But now we're setting the record straight. This girl is doing just fine. And I'm especially happy about that because she's carrying one seriously impressive main cola. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š A massive one. And it's hanging in there beautifully. No problems. No drama. Just a big, dense, beautiful flower doing exactly what we want to see at this stage. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ Cash Express B Is Still Moving One thing that hasn't changed from the previous reports: This girl is moving. She's still developing. She's still changing. And she's now clearly starting to make those moves toward the final stage of the plant. The overall appearance is changing. The flowers are becoming more mature. The pistils are changing. The green is becoming deeper. The buds are getting denser. And the whole plant is beginning to look like she's entering that part of the journey where the finish line starts becoming visible. Not tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on her. But she's definitely showing us: "I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And I'm listening. 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 Deep Green โ€” Deeper By The Week One of the first things that catches my eye with her right now is the colour. She's beautiful. Deep green. And getting deeper. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ There's something really satisfying about seeing this plant in person and then comparing her with the rest of the room. She's got that rich, lush appearance that makes the flowers stand out even more. The green foliage provides this beautiful contrast against the increasingly mature flowers. And then you look closer... and suddenly you're seeing brown hairs everywhere. ๐ŸŒธ? That's another clear sign that this girl is moving forward. She's changing. She's maturing. She's moving away from that fresh-flowering look and toward something much more developed. And 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”€ ? Brown Hairs Everywhere Okay... let's talk about those hairs. ๐Ÿ˜‚?๐ŸŒธ They're everywhere. We're starting to see that beautiful transition across the flowers. The pistils are no longer all fresh white. We're seeing more and more of those darker, mature-looking hairs throughout the plant. And when you combine that with the density of the flowers... the overall picture is becoming very interesting. She's starting to look like a plant that's entering the final part of her journey. Again... I'm not putting a harvest date on her. The plant will tell us. But visually? She's definitely talking. And she's saying: "Things are happening." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š 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 Big Buds On A Medium-Sized Plant This is probably one of my favourite things about this phenotype. She's not a giant. She's not one of those plants that completely dominates the room. She's medium-sized. Comfortable. Balanced. And yet... look at the flowers she's carrying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Big. Dense. Beautiful. Substantial. It's a fantastic contrast. Medium-sized plant. Big-to-big flowers. And especially that main cola... wow. She's massive. It's hanging there like: "Don't worry. I've got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And I absolutely love seeing that. It reminds us once again that plant size and individual flower size aren't necessarily the same conversation. A plant doesn't have to become a monster to produce impressive flowers. Cash Express Pheno B is giving us a very nice example of that. 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 Main Cola Is Hanging In There And I have to give this one its own section. Because after what happened with her sister... I look at this main cola differently now. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I see it. I admire it. I photograph it. And I think: "Please stay with us, big girl." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™ She's massive. She's dense. She's beautiful. And so far... she's perfectly fine. No signs of bud rot. No strange tissue. No reason for alarm. Just a huge main flower continuing to develop. And honestly? I'm enjoying every photograph of it. Because this is exactly the kind of thing that makes these late stages so satisfying. You watch something start as a tiny flowering site... and eventually you're standing there looking at a giant cola wondering: "How the hell did you become this big?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š 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” No Bud Rot โ€” And That's The Important Part Let's make this crystal clear one more time. ๐Ÿšจ Cash Express Pheno B: โŒ No visible bud rot โŒ No signs of the problem seen on her sister โŒ No concerning areas that we're seeing โŒ No reason to panic Instead: ๐Ÿ’š Healthy-looking foliage ๐ŸŒธ Dense flowers ? Increasingly mature pistils โ„๏ธ Beautiful flower development ๐ŸŒฟ Deepening green ๐Ÿš‚ Continued progression And that's exactly what I want to see. Of course, we continue observing. That's what we do with every plant. But observation is not the same thing as panic. Right now... I'm looking at a beautiful plant doing beautifully. And I'm very happy about that. 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 She Went To The Studio! And this week... we did something special. We took her to the studio. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽฌ Because honestly? She deserved it. After all the drama surrounding the previous week, I wanted to give this girl the attention she deserves. So we took the camera out. We put her in front of the lens. And we let her show off. And... damn. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She looks good. Really good. The photographs capture exactly what I'm seeing in the room: A beautiful medium-sized plant. Deep green. Dense flowers. Large colas. Maturing pistils. Strong structure. And one absolutely massive main cola hanging there like she owns the place. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š She earned that studio session. 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 Macro Time โ€” Let's Get Close And then, of course... we go closer. Because the full-plant photographs show us the structure. The flower photographs show us the density. But the macro shots? That's where she starts showing off. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ Suddenly you see the individual structures. The pistils. The resin. The texture. The flower development. The tiny details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. And that's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. A plant can look beautiful from two metres away... and then completely blow your mind when you put the lens close to the flower. Cash Express Pheno B is definitely giving us those moments. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ The 8ร—8 Adventure โ€” Same Room, Different Personalities For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure. The concept remains simple. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different personalities. That's the experiment. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving us another beautiful example. Her sister is writing a very different story. One lost a main cola. This girl? Her main cola is still standing. One has had a difficult chapter. This one is moving toward maturity beautifully. Same general room. Same ecosystem. Different phenotype. Different expression. Different story. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. 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 Same Photons โ€” Different Results The lighting environment remains exactly where we've brought it over the last few weeks. Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main artificial sun for the room. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We've already reduced the output to approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ ~59% from the plug while working around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing throughout the canopy according to plant height and position. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's clearly enjoying those photons. She's taking them... and turning them into: ๐ŸŒฟ Leaves ๐ŸŒธ Flowers ? Mature pistils ๐Ÿ’š Density โœจ Structure Same photons. Different interpretation. That's genetics. And I absolutely love watching it happen. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures for this experiment. Having that extra lighting capacity and being able to control how much of it we're actually using has been a fascinating part of this adventure. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ Same Feeding โ€” Same Ecosystem And just like the rest of the room... we haven't changed her nutritional program. The room remains stable. The plants are enjoying the consistency. And we're not trying to reinvent anything unnecessarily. Current nutritional program: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L Current solution strength: โšก EC ~2.05 mS/cm Same opportunity. Same room. Same feeding. And then... the plant decides what to do with it. Cash Express Pheno B has decided to build some seriously beautiful flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š I'm not going to argue with her. 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 Stable Room โ€” Stable Plants This week, the biggest thing we're doing is actually... not doing much. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I think that's important. The room is stable. The ecosystem is stable. The lighting is stable. The nutrition is stable. The irrigation is stable. And the plants are responding beautifully. So why change things? Exactly. We observe. We monitor. We photograph. We enjoy. And when something actually requires our attention... we deal with it. Otherwise? Let them grow. Let them finish. Let them show us where they're going. Cash Express Pheno B is doing exactly that. 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 13 โ€” CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same conditions across this week's reports: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 13 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow Black Series LEDs โ€” upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approx. lighting output โ€” ~59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~61% โš—๏ธ pH โ€” ~6.04 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation โ€” ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful within 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ She's Starting To Look Like A Final-Stage Plant This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing now. She's beginning to transition. Not dramatically. Not overnight. But visibly. The flowers are getting denser. The pistils are changing. The green is deepening. The overall appearance is becoming more mature. And that's when you start getting that feeling: "Okay... we're getting somewhere." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š She's not finished. I'm not claiming she is. But she's definitely moving toward that final stage. And I love watching that transition. It's one of the most rewarding parts of a flowering run. The plant slowly changes from: "Look what I'm building!" to: "Look what I've built." And Cash Express Pheno B is somewhere in between those two sentences right now. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š 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 Medium Plant โ€” Big Expression And once again... this girl proves that size doesn't tell the whole story. She's medium-sized. She's not dominating the room. But her flowers? They're big. Her main cola? Massive. Her other flowers? Dense. Her structure? Beautiful. And her personality? Very much her own. This is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. If you only looked at the room as a whole, you might simply say: "Cash Express." But when you follow her individually... you start seeing: Cash Express Pheno B. A medium-sized plant. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Dense flowers. Big colas. Strong main flower. And now... a very clear movement toward maturity. That's a much more interesting story. 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 Her Sister Had Her Chapter โ€” This Girl Has Hers I think this is important too. Because when two phenotypes share the same genetics and the same room, it's very easy to start comparing them. And yes... we absolutely compare them. That's part of the experiment. But comparison doesn't mean one is better. It means they're different. Cash Express Pheno A had her difficult chapter. She lost her main cola. And now we're watching the remaining flowers continue their story. Cash Express Pheno B? She's had a completely different ride so far. Her main cola is still there. It's massive. She's showing no signs of the same issue. She's deep green. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she's moving toward the final stage. Two plants. Same genetics. Same room. Two very different stories. That's phenotype expression right there. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ No Drama This Week And honestly? I like this kind of update. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š No drama. No emergency. No problem to solve. Just: "Look at her." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ She's beautiful. She's growing. She's changing. She's getting more mature. She's producing dense flowers. She's getting those brown hairs. She's deep green. She's carrying a massive main cola. And she's doing exactly what she should be doing. Sometimes that's all the report needs to say. Everything is working. The room is stable. The plant is happy. And the grower gets to stand there with a camera and enjoy the view. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š I'll take that. 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”ญ Looking Ahead So... where are we going from here? Honestly? I don't know. And that's exactly how I like it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š I can see that she's entering a later stage. I can see the pistils changing. I can see the flowers getting denser. I can see the plant maturing. But I'm not going to put a date on her. The plant will tell us. And until then... we keep watching. We keep photographing. We keep enjoying the view. We keep the room stable. And we let Cash Express Pheno B decide when she's ready for the next chapter. For now? She's doing 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”€ โค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” THE GIRL WHO DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Week 13. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking fucking beautiful. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿš‚ After last week's drama... what a pleasure it is to write this report. No bud rot. No problems. No emergency. Just a beautiful, healthy-looking plant moving into the final stage of her journey. Deep green. Getting deeper. Brown hairs appearing everywhere. Dense flowers. Big flowers. Beautiful structure. And that main cola... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ That thing is massive. And it's hanging in there beautifully. She's a medium-sized plant carrying some seriously impressive flowers. And I absolutely love that. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room. She doesn't need to dominate the canopy. She doesn't need to take over the 8ร—8. She's simply doing her thing... and doing it very well. We took her to the studio. We gave her the camera. We got close. We photographed those flowers. And she showed us exactly why she deserves her own spotlight. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ This is what the 8ร—8 Adventure is all about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same nutrition. Same environment. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's giving us a beautiful one. So let's enjoy this stage. Let's enjoy those big flowers. Let's enjoy that massive main cola. Let's enjoy the deep green. Let's enjoy the changing pistils. Let's enjoy the density. Let's enjoy the fact that this girl is moving toward her final chapter without giving us any of the drama her sister had. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And most importantly... let's give her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ Keep shining, Cash Express Pheno B. Keep doing your thing. Keep building those beautiful flowers. And when you're ready... we'll let you tell us when the story is finished. Until then? The camera is ready. The room is stable. And I'm enjoying the view. 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 the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us keep the room stable and consistent. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this adventure. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these reports on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph. Every observation. Every week following these plants. It all becomes part of the story. And Cash Express Pheno B has certainly given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her unique structure... to those big flowers... to that massive main cola... and now into the beginning of her final stage. She's still here. She's still beautiful. She's still developing. And thankfully... she's got no bud rot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl exactly what she deserves: The spotlight. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ Keep shining, beautiful girl. You've earned it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿš‚

Estรก genรฉtica ya la cosecha muchas veces teniendo muy buenos resultados en todas sus cosechas. En el caso de este esqueje el resultado fue el correcto Aunque tuvo sus inconvenientes como la flora antes de tiempo la cual fue batalla con un sodio el cual me sirviรณ para poner a revegetar el mismo, el olor que presenta esta genรฉtica en la fase de floraciรณn es muy fuerte y rico. Es una de mi genรฉtica favorito la cual recomiendo para todos los cultivadores principiantes y mรกs experimentados ya que es una planta Quรฉ es fรกcil de cultivar y que tiene muy buenos resultados

Very nice plant to grow. Beautiful flowers covered with trichomes. The smell is very lemon citrus flavourt. She gave a bit of a stretch. I think she isnโ€™t the biggest yielder but definitely quality over quantity. Later on the results. Very pleased sofar! I underestimate the density of the buds. Dry weight 375 gram of 5 plants. Pheno number 2 yielded almost 100 gram! Powerfull lemon flavour with a touch of sour. Running pheno number 2 again!

Greetings, dear plant companions! Can you believe it? Week 17 has unfolded, and our journey with Purple Lemonade Fast Flower reaches its climaxโ€”a splendid harvest at day 69. As I stand here, reflecting on the wait and the wonder, let's delve into this momentous update. The Ultimate Waiting Game <3 Oh, the extra waiting time felt like a lifetime, didn't it? But you know what they sayโ€”the best things in life are worth waiting for. And let me tell you, this journey has been an ode to patience and a symphony of anticipation. A Marvel to Behold <3 Behold our Purple Lemonade in all her glory! If beauty could be bottled, she'd fill an entire garden. Her buds are a testament to love, care, and the dedication poured into this journey. It's like witnessing a masterpiece in horticultural art. The Trichome Revelation <3 As the days stretched, the trichomes prepared for their moment of glory. And what a sight it was! I took a sneak peek under the microscope, and oh my, the colors and trichome numbers are beyond imagination. It's like peeking into a secret universe of brilliance. A Full Cycle: The Journey Revisited <3 From seed to this awe-inspiring harvest, our journey has been a symphony of growth, learning, and beauty. Every week, we embraced new lessons, nurtured each phase, and reveled in the miracles of cultivation. The cycle is a testament to our connection with the plant world and the wonders it bestows. Time to Rest and Reflect <3 Now, our Purple Lemonade enters a period of rest on the drying rack. For about two weeks, she'll transform further, preparing for her final debut. It's a time of patience once again, as flavors deepen, aromas evolve, and magic intensifies. The Upcoming Full Report <3 In the near future, get ready for a comprehensive report on the fruits of this labor. We'll explore the buds, savor the tastes, bask in the effects, and celebrate the cycle as a whole. It's a chapter that encapsulates the essence of this cultivation journey. A Thank You to the Community <3 A heartfelt thank you to the @Fast_Buds team for crafting this botanical marvel. @aptus_holland, your support has been integral. And to @grow.diaries and the entire community, your camaraderie has fueled this journey. Cultivation, Celebration, Connection ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ As this chapter concludes, let's celebrate the culmination of growth, the dance of patience, and the connection we share with the natural world. From seed to harvest, we've written a story of love and green magic. Thank you for being part of this journey. Until we reconvene for the final chapter, let's continue to nurture, learn, and celebrate the beauty of plants.

Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyoneโ€™s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. Itโ€™s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect thatโ€™s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as itโ€™s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus thatโ€™ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.
