Cash Express – Pheno B | Week 3 Small Sister, Big Potential Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where every phenotype earns its own place in the spotlight. While sister plants may share the same parents, they rarely tell exactly the same story—and that is one of the most fascinating parts of growing from seed. This week brings us to Cash Express Pheno B, the quieter sister of the pair. At first glance she may appear slightly behind Pheno A in overall size and development, but spending a little time with the photographs reveals something far more interesting. This is not a weak plant. This is a plant writing her own chapter. ⸻ Week 3 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 27.4°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% 💡 PPFD: ~700 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed 💦 Water Consumption: ~0.9–1.2L per day Feeding Schedule Days 18 * EC 1.0 * pH 5.99–6.0 * Approximately 1L Days 21 * EC 1.3 * pH 6.0 * Approximately 1.2L The environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing differences between phenotypes to become increasingly visible. ⸻ Cash Express Pheno B If Pheno A represents symmetry and textbook structure, Pheno B represents individuality. She is slightly smaller. A little less aggressive. A little less imposing. But she possesses something equally valuable. Character. Looking at the canopy from above, the first thing that stands out is how compact and tidy she remains. While her sister is charging forward with obvious vigor, Pheno B appears to be investing more energy into establishing structure before accelerating upward. The leaves are healthy and evenly colored. The stems remain strong. The new growth is vibrant and active. Most importantly, the plant shows no signs of struggling despite her slightly slower pace. In fact, many experienced growers learn over time that the fastest seedling is not always the plant that finishes strongest. Some phenotypes sprint. Others build momentum. Right now, Pheno B feels very much like the second type. ⸻ A Different Growth Rhythm One of the most interesting aspects of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is seeing how differently plants can respond under identical conditions. Same tent. Same nutrients. Same environment. Same light. Yet each plant interprets those conditions through its own genetic lens. Cash Express Pheno B seems to prefer a more measured approach. The internodes remain relatively compact. The branching is beginning to establish itself. The center of the plant is becoming increasingly busy with fresh growth. And while she may not command attention immediately through sheer size, she rewards closer observation. There is a quiet confidence developing here. A feeling that she is preparing rather than rushing. ⸻ Healthy Signs Everywhere Several positive observations stand out this week: * Excellent leaf color throughout the canopy * Strong, healthy petiole development * Compact structure * Good node formation * Active new growth * Positive response to increased feeding and PPFD The fresh growth emerging from the center is particularly encouraging. Those younger leaves display the lighter green color typical of rapidly expanding tissue, showing that the plant is actively building new biomass and continuing to adapt to the increased light levels. Nothing about this plant suggests limitation. Only a slightly different timetable. ⸻ The Beauty of Phenotype Variation One of the goals of documenting every phenotype separately is to capture these subtle differences. If both sisters looked identical, there would be little to learn. Instead, we get to observe how two related plants express themselves in unique ways. Pheno A currently impresses through vigor and structure. Pheno B impresses through balance and composure. Both approaches are valid. Both are beautiful. And both deserve their own spotlight. Sometimes the plant that receives less attention early on becomes the one that surprises everyone later. I’ve seen that story play out many times before. Perhaps Pheno B has a surprise waiting for us too. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the coming week I will be watching closely for: * Increased branch development * Changes in growth rate under the higher PPFD * Early flowering indicators from the 12/12 schedule * Structural differences compared to Pheno A * Signs of unique phenotype expression At this stage she remains healthy, happy, and steadily progressing. And honestly, that’s exactly what I want to see. No drama. No problems. Just growth. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along with this project. Thank you to the GrowDiaries community for creating a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another. Thank you to Plagron for supporting this cultivation journey. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics and the opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower who takes the time to stop by, leave a comment, share advice, or simply enjoy the journey. Every plant has a story. Some tell it loudly. Others tell it quietly. This week, Cash Express Pheno B reminds us that quiet stories are often worth listening to. 🌱💚 Growers Love and see you next week, little lady. Keep growing your way.

Switched to 12/12 growing alryt.Doubled on the MG feed Gona add alittle booster next feed.

.

slowly but surely we sailing. only one feed with nutrients at start of week and a couple straight up water 🌱

A pesar de los contratiempos en las primeras fases de crecimiento las plantas han conseguido exprimir todo su potencial y hemos obtenido unas flores de primera calidad repletas de tricomas y un alto porcentaje en thc. Flores con tonos morados y negros hacen que su aspecto sea mas impresionante todavía. Un sabor muy sutil, diferente pero muy agradable digno de paladares expertos. Efecto relajante, placentero, sensación de felicidad, apto para cualquier hora del día. Una gran genética. Totalmente recomendable.

Olá growmies, espero que tenham tido um bom Natal. Esta semana a humidade tem estado entre os 60%-65% com as luzes ligadas e pode chegar até aos 75% quando as luzes estão apagadas.. tenho uma boa circulação de ar na tenda, espero que seja o suficiente para evitar problemas.

The plats are not been trained, defoliated or anything, grown naturally. I’m blown away how fast this plants are growing. First time outdoors and the experience is very nice, I love the fact it requires little to no effort, in the setup I have chosen. As it is raining a lot, I’m using only a dry amendment I have built to use on them periodically, this way I’m not adding more liquids to the root system that is already highly saturated, essentially I’m using the following recipe update, I don’t know if it is correct but I live it all mixed. Use about a table spoon and a half every 15 days. - Azomite 500g - Natural fosfate 500g - Biochar 1kg - Bokashi 1kg -Kelp meal 500g -Mamona meal 1kg -chicken meal 1kg -Potassium silicate 500g -Gypsum farm 500g -Diatomaceous earth 500g -Bunny guano 300g -Bat guano 1kg -Oyster shell powder 1kg -Cow blood meal 1kg -Cow bones powder meal 1kg. -Wormcastings, spare use not in the mix. The plants are showing good coloring, no fade and no deficiencies, the green is not to deep, nor too light. As the leafs are taking a lot of water and strong sun and wind, the leafs are feeling a bit. As the wind is high since day 1 the stems are very resistant, strong. The Fastberry Is on the smaller size if compared to the other plants, together with the Banana purple punch, then we have the Bluedream and the CBD crack on the larger sizes thriving a lot, I expect to approach the end of flowed in a few weeks, the girls are very fast indeed. I’m looking forward to collect the fruits :)

Mezza pianta di 7 é stata tagliata,era il suo momento,ora incomincieranno quasi tutte il flush,mentre la pianta gigante sta ancora molto indietro e rimane sotto fertilizzante per almeno altre 2 settimane.le piante hanno un odore fortissimo,e la formazione dei fiori risulta compatta nonostante gli internodi molto lunghi.Se vuoi parlare seguimi e vieni a trovarmi

I was very shocked on how fast it grewand how much it produced very great strain a must for you Indica lovers very strong I went to about 80% red hairs perfect smoke a lot of cannabinoids and a lot of leftover sugar leaves great for lovers of bubble hash

Unfortunately Grow Diaries seems to have bugged during the last Cosmic Noodles update. The harvest report itself was saved and the text is still there, but most of the photos disappeared and I’m currently unable to properly edit or restore that update. Because I still want to finish this diary correctly and document everything from start to finish, I’m uploading the remaining harvest, drying and trimming photos into this temporary flowering-week update instead. So even though this appears under a normal flower week, the content shown here actually reflects the harvest process already explained in the previous report. My apologies for the confusion to all. I didn’t want to leave the diary incomplete after coming this far together. Wishing everyone a beautiful day, and as always, thank you all for being here and following this journey from seed to harvest. 🌱 Growers Love DD

09-09-2025 Yesterday evening I noticed some bright yellow spots on the leaves of my White Widow. I didn’t know what it was. Today I saw that the spots turned brown. I tried to wipe it off, but I couldn’t. I think this is downy mildew. I moved the plant to the garage. The garage is quite dry and has a better humidity level than the greenhouse. I hope this will not spread. I don’t know what to do about it…

Week 8 Gave a compost bloom tea (bison) 7/3/26

------- ------- Quality is very good, buds are very frosty, and the plant was soooo beautiful to grow, smells like fruits so a lot of bugs hanging around, i like to contemplate nature and this was precious gift .. The only downside is the fact that the plant remained short in height, and yield was small... maybe it was the pheno, even so, weather was horrible when Vegetation... but you dont have to pay lot of attention on her. ------- ------- First Auto, and not impressed, im still in love with photoperiods, with this experience i know outdoor and autos are a good combination, if you are lucky to have enought sun...

Still the same treatment! as it seems to work. I make sure to keep it over 400ppm. I notice conductivity (the nutrients in the water) goes well up when I throw many slugs! No more water from the canal, since it rained enough. I have lots of mosquito larvae, so I try to give them everyday, to reduce the number of moskitos (they don't bite very hard and are really slow). Cheers!

Hello everyone 😇 😇 😇 Finally, the last week and the harvest time come. On Day 105 and Day 107 I flush her with tap water treated with Ecothrive Neutralise. I was planning a harvest on Friday but accidentally initiated it on Thursday, how ?? I wanted to remove the fan leaves, when I began to pull off the wires supporting the branches, the branches began to break... So I came to an unplanned harvest the day before I planned to do it. 🙌 !! BUT !! 🙌 This one day does not really make a difference, so the fact of the branches start breaking under the weight of the buds made me pretty happy 🙏 🙏 🙏 Thanks to everyone for the comments, likes and interest. Soon another stage of my adventures, this time starring: Think Fast and most likely Auto Banana Blaze of course from Dutch Passion. Have a nice and quiet Sunday, You Lovely Girls Growers 💪 💪 💪

Week 3 for the solo is officially complete. She's been growing with no trouble. Root development has been excellent. As you can see, I decided to mainline. Seeing as she's in a solo cup, I'm not too worried about stunting. I'm horrible at measuring the water intake, but the cup needs to be watered daily. It's as lite as a feather everyday.

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Colas are getting heavy. Smell getting louder overall I am really happy with the strain

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

The buds are still growing and I have already discovered the first amber-coloured trichomes on Bruce Banner and S.A.D. #4. I think the harvest will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Until then, I will continue to observe the trichomes with the microscope.
