Welcome to Garden of Green Cup 🏆 Flowering day 75 since time switch to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested and hung upside down in the dry tent 😍. Before that, she stood in the drying tent in complete darkness for 2 days and the large leaves were removed. The small leaves stay attached during the drying process so that they protect the buds and allow them to dry more slowly and evenly :-) . In the dry tent, the temperature is 18-19.5 degrees and the humidity is 54-58% 👍. In this environment they are now allowed to hang for 10-14 days before they are fine-tuned and trimmed clean by hand. then after trimming they come to ferment for 6-12 weeks in dark jars with bobeda packs 62% to keep the perfect humidity. After a few weeks, the Boveda packs 58% are used so that they can slowly dry out :-) . Of course there is one last update after trimming. Until then, I wish you a lot of fun with the update. Stay healthy and let it grow 💚🙏🏻. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://gardenofgreenseedbank.com/candyland/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Week 3. This is where the fun begins. The smell is amazing. The stretch is crazy and the stems are stiff like bamboo. There's no loss in terps. They're actually getting a lot stronger!!

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A 💨 She's Moving Fast — And Now She's Starting To Talk Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And Cash Express Pheno A... Well... She's moving. And she's moving FAST. 😂🚂💨 Last week we talked about letting the plants do their thing. This week? Cash Express seems to have taken that as a personal challenge. Because she's definitely doing her thing. She's developing. She's progressing. She's putting on flowers. She's changing. And now... she's starting to smell. A LOT. 👃🌸😂 And that's when you really start paying attention. Because there is something special about reaching the stage where the plant doesn't just look like it's flowering... you can actually start experiencing the flowering process with another sense. The aroma is becoming part of her story. And I'm very curious to see where this girl is going. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about putting different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment and allowing each one to show us what she naturally wants to become. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One room. One 12/12 lighting strategy. One irrigation system. One general nutritional approach. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this project so much fun. Because even when the environment is shared, the plants don't read the same script. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop unusual structures. Some move slowly. And some... like Cash Express Pheno A... suddenly decide: "Right. Let's get moving." 😂🚂💨 And she's certainly moving now. ──────────────────────── 🚂 She's Picking Up Speed This week, the biggest thing I'm noticing is simply progression. She's moving quickly. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is changing noticeably. And the whole structure is beginning to look increasingly like a proper late-flowering plant rather than a plant that's still deciding what she wants to become. There's momentum. And I really like seeing that. Because this is the stage where the plants start revealing more of their final personality. Earlier in the cycle, we were mostly watching architecture. Stretch. Branches. Canopy. Training. Structure. Now? The flowers are becoming the main event. And Cash Express is starting to put some serious effort into that part of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Maybe Not The Prettiest Girl... I'm going to be honest. 😂 She may not be the prettiest girl in the room. And that's okay. Beauty is subjective. And when you've got twelve different plants sitting beside each other, there are always going to be some that immediately grab your attention more than others. Cash Express Pheno A isn't necessarily the girl that makes you stop from across the room and say: "OH MY GOD!" 😂 But then you look closer. And you start seeing her. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individuality. Her little peculiarities. And suddenly you realize: She's got charm. She's got character. She's got her own kind of beauty. And that's actually something I really appreciate. Because not every phenotype needs to be conventionally beautiful to be fascinating. Sometimes the unusual ones are the ones you remember. And Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. ──────────────────────── ✨ Beauty Is Not Always About Perfection That's one of the things this entire project keeps teaching me. If I judged every plant purely by appearance... I'd miss half the story. Some plants are extremely symmetrical. Some are incredibly frosty. Some have perfect-looking flowers. Some have crazy structures. Some are compact. Some are stretched. Some are simply... different. And Cash Express Pheno A falls into that last category for me. She's not necessarily the picture-perfect princess of the tent. But she's interesting. She's unique. She's developing quickly. And now she's giving us something else to pay attention to: her aroma. And honestly? I'll take interesting over predictable any day. 😂🚂🌸 ──────────────────────── 👃 Oh... Now She's Starting To Smell This is the part that has really caught my attention. She's starting to smell. And not just: "Maybe if I put my nose close enough..." No. She's starting to make herself known. 😂👃💨 The aroma is becoming noticeable enough that I find myself paying attention whenever I'm around her. And that's exciting. Because aroma development is another piece of the phenotype puzzle. The visual appearance tells us one thing. The structure tells us another. The flowering speed tells us another. And then the plant starts telling us something through its aroma. Now I'm curious. What is she going to smell like as she continues developing? How much stronger will that expression become? What kind of character is going to come through? And where is all of this going? I don't know. But I'm very interested in finding out. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Lighting Experiment And just like everyone else in the 8×8, Cash Express Pheno A is still experiencing the upgraded lighting environment. Future of Grow supplied us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. The additional fixtures initially pushed the available PPFD higher than we wanted. So we brought the output down. We're currently running around: 🔌 59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Cash Express is right there underneath all those photons. She's not receiving a special lighting treatment. She's not getting a secret little VIP setting. She's getting the same general room environment as the other girls. And yet... look at how differently she's expressing herself. That's the fun. Same light. Different plant. Different response. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons In — Cash Express Out This is one of my favourite parts of the experiment. We provide the photons. The plant decides what to do with them. And Cash Express seems to have decided: "I'm going to turn these into flowers... and then I'm going to make the whole room smell." 😂💨🌸 Fair enough. That's a pretty good use of photons. The upper canopy is receiving strong light. The lower portions naturally receive less depending on plant height and structure. And the plant itself decides how to position its leaves and flowers within that three-dimensional environment. We're not trying to force every plant into exactly the same shape. We're watching how each phenotype uses the space. And Cash Express is certainly using hers. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Nutrition — A Small Step Back For The Whole Room The nutritional program has also been adjusted slightly this week across the entire room. Terra Bloom has been reduced from: 🌸 2.3 ml/L to: 🌸 2.0 ml/L This brought the EC down slightly to: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: 🌱 Pure Zym — 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.0 ml/L Again, this is a room-wide adjustment. We're not trying to micromanage every plant individually. We're allowing the whole room to progress together while watching how each phenotype responds. And Cash Express? She's moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💧 Still Providing — Still Watching The current irrigation is around: 💧 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And the rest of the room remains under the same general environmental strategy. We're not making dramatic changes. We're not trying to force her into another stage. We're simply continuing to provide consistency. Because at this point... the plants are doing most of the work. Our job is becoming increasingly simple. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Document. And let them finish their stories. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The current room conditions are approximately: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output: ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature: ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.04 ⚡ EC: ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25.2°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.4 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same general nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Different Cash Express. And she's certainly giving us something to watch. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Plant Doesn't Need Us To Make Her Interesting This is another thing I really like about this stage. We're not doing anything special to make Cash Express interesting. She's doing that herself. We're not training her into some crazy shape. We're not manipulating her to create a particular appearance. We're not forcing her to behave differently. She's simply progressing naturally. And the more she develops... the more personality becomes visible. That's exactly what I wanted from the 8×8 Adventure. I wanted to see what these individual phenotypes would do when given the same general opportunity. Cash Express is giving us her answer. And I like the answer. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowering structure continues developing. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The plant is clearly moving forward. And this is the part where I start getting excited about the next few weeks. Because once the plant gets into this rhythm... you can almost feel the momentum. Every week starts bringing more visible change. The flowers become more defined. The plant becomes more obviously floral. The aroma develops. The overall structure starts looking increasingly mature. And Cash Express? She's entering that stage now. She's not finished. Not even close to writing the final chapter. But she's definitely moving. And moving quickly. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Her Uniqueness Is Becoming More Obvious This is another reason I'm glad we're documenting her individually. If you put Cash Express Pheno A beside another phenotype and simply called them both "Cash Express," you'd miss a lot. This girl has her own expression. Her own pace. Her own structure. Her own visual personality. And now... her own aroma is starting to become part of the picture. That's what phenotype hunting is about. You don't just want to know: "What strain is this?" You want to know: "What does this individual plant do?" And Cash Express Pheno A is slowly but surely answering that question. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Sees What The Eye Sometimes Misses One of the things I love about documenting these plants every week is that the camera gives me another way to compare their development. Standing in the room, sometimes the changes don't feel enormous. Then I look at photographs from a few weeks ago... and suddenly: Whoa. She's changed. The flowers are more developed. The structure is different. The plant has progressed. And that's why these weekly photographs matter. They're not just pretty pictures. They're a timeline. They're evidence of the journey. And Cash Express is building a pretty interesting timeline. ──────────────────────── 💨 The Smell Is Becoming Part Of The Story This deserves another mention because it's something I really noticed this week. She's starting to make herself known. 😂💨 And I think that's a beautiful milestone in a flowering plant. The visual side has been there for weeks. Now the aromatic side is beginning to join the conversation. And that makes me even more curious. Because we don't know yet how strong this expression will become. We don't know exactly where the aroma is going to develop. And I'm not going to pretend I know what the final result will be. We're going to find out. That's the fun. Let the plant show us. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express Is Moving Fast If I had to summarize this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "She's moving." 😂🚂💨 She's moving quickly. She's developing. She's becoming more floral. She's becoming more aromatic. And she's becoming increasingly interesting. Maybe she's not the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly one of the girls I want to keep watching. Because there's something happening here. And I want to see where it goes. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Same Environment — Different Result This is probably the biggest lesson of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can standardize the environment as much as possible. We can standardize the lighting. We can standardize the irrigation. We can standardize the nutrition. We can monitor temperature. We can monitor humidity. We can monitor CO₂. And still... the plants will express themselves differently. That's genetics. That's phenotype. And that's exactly why I wanted twelve individual diaries. Cash Express Pheno A is giving us another piece of that puzzle. She's fast. She's unique. She's aromatic. She's got charm. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as the weeks pass. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead — Where Is She Going? Now I'm genuinely curious. Because the next stage should be very interesting. She's moving quickly. She's starting to smell. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming increasingly mature. So where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much stronger will the aroma become? How will the final structure evolve? What kind of expression is hiding underneath all of this? I don't know. And I don't want to guess. Let's just watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's smell. 😂💨 And let's see what Cash Express decides to become. ──────────────────────── ❤️ Final Thoughts — Give Her The Spotlight Week 12. And Cash Express Pheno A is moving. Fast. She's not necessarily the prettiest plant in the room. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying that. Because beauty isn't a competition. And this girl has something else. Charm. Character. Uniqueness. Personality. And now... aroma. She's starting to smell. She's developing quickly. She's becoming increasingly floral. And she's giving me another reason to stop beside her and take a closer look. She's not trying to be somebody else. She's just being Cash Express. And honestly? That's exactly what I want. This project isn't about finding twelve identical plants. It's about discovering twelve individual expressions. And this one is giving us a very interesting one. So let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the weird little details that make her different. Let's appreciate the aroma that's starting to fill the air. And most importantly... let's see where this girl goes. 🚂🌸💨 She's moving. She's moving fast. And I'm enjoying the ride. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us continue adjusting the flowering program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. Having more lighting capability, controlling the output and watching how these different plants respond has been one of the most interesting parts of this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something a little different. A different shape. A different rhythm. A different colour. A different flowering structure. A different personality. And now... a different smell. 😂💨🌸 Cash Express Pheno A may not be the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly got something. She's unique. She's charming. She's developing quickly. And she's starting to make herself known. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Because sometimes... the most interesting plant isn't the one that immediately catches your eye. Sometimes... it's the one that makes you come back for another look. Cash Express Pheno A? She's becoming that girl. 🚂🌸💚 Until next week... Keep moving, beautiful girl. We're watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Plants Flipped to flower on a 12/12 light schedule. EC dropped slightly to try and reduce any major stretch. These plants should have been lollipoped last week before putting them into a scrog but unfortunately I was unable to, so I have to remove the Scrog to make it easy to lollipop and then place them back into a Scrog once lollipoped. When the Scrog was placed back on it was more for support as I'd already built the structure of the plant the prior weeks. Although a few lanky branches did get bended back over. Another Scrog layer will probably added later in flower for further support when buds start forming.

Blue Banana Cream by Mademen Genetics - Week 5 Update VPD aim 1-1.2kPa Continuing from the last update, this week has shown even more trichome development. Pheno #1: Bud structure remains airy, but trichomes are steadily increasing Pheno #2: Medium-density compact buds, showing traits reminiscent of the Banana lineage The grow room is starting to fill with a stronger aroma as the plants enter the bud-building phase. Exciting progress ahead—thank you for following along!

Se sienten mas fuertes los aromas de esta planta. La resina a comenzafo a invadir cada flor y cada hoja apegada a las flores. Ya va quedando menos para llegar al final.

Just some big fat nug towers

WEEK 3 FLOWER -Love the terp profile on this, Has a deep sweet herbal skunk back with a powerful tropical strawberry kush front that carries thru super juicy & loud reminding me of strawberry soda or gushers -Introducing a 150w HPS bulb as under canopy lighting that will be moved around every few days, I usually will just lay it rite on the pot (not on floor as shown in video) beaming under canopy for 6hr run time mid day in overall flowering light cycle

La cosecha fue bastante buena. La planta dio un excelente rendimiento.

Last few weeks of the Dank Berry she filled house with smell 😘. So far she done very good and is easy to grow.As all anesia seeds she like nitrients. Waiting some more before flush as buds are still getting fatter.

Auto cinderella jack - Amazing week of growth. There are new nodes exploding from everywhere and its not showing signs of slowing down. They are currently loving the organic nutes and have started showing signs of flowering. Auto critical cheese - this plant has shot up recently. It was planted a week later that the ACJ but is growing some seriously fat fan leaves. Should be a nice yeilder. Peanut butter cookies - this girl is looking pretty sorry for herself. I am intentionally trying to keep her as small as possible so that I can get the autos out before flipping into flower but she is gonna be a beast. Will transplant into a final pot in the next day or so.

DAY 28 of Flowering 🌸🌼 Dense small buds delicious terps comin off her 🍉🎂

The roots are all tapped in and taking up nutrients. I’m on the fence as to the prospect of using grow slabs under my rockwool cubes in the future as it seems to slow the growth in the early stages on autos when time is critical. I’m sure they have a better base to grow on but when the roots tap through the bottom of the medium and move about the totes is when the magic happens. Not much I can do about it now and it would be more than fine in my photo room to make healthy beast mode plants. They are on a full 1200 ppm of nutrients and the one mutant In the back I have no doubt will end up happy and beautiful in the end. She just had a hard time getting rid of her shell.

no more than that one pollen sac found yet. still searchin every day purplematic going purple!

now im start to using many kind of sugar till harvest, beer-fpj-molasses-coconut water...

This new week started better as with some flushes I brought the runoff back to 6.5/7, the plant seems to be growing well
