Cash Express – Pheno A | Week 4 Full Steam Ahead Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually from seed to harvest under a strict 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype follows its own diary, allowing each plant to reveal its unique personality while growing under exactly the same environment and feeding program. Another week has passed, and the room continues to transform at an incredible pace. What started as twelve tiny seedlings is rapidly becoming a forest filled with individual characters, each responding differently despite sharing identical conditions. That’s one of my favourite parts of this project—watching genetics tell their own stories. This week also reminded me that Mother Nature has a funny sense of humour. The environmental controller proudly displayed 33.3°C alongside 63% humidity. Apparently the grow room has decided that three is the lucky number this week. Despite the higher temperatures, the elevated humidity helped keep the plants comfortable, and growth across the room never missed a beat. Every day the canopy became denser, greener, and noticeably more alive. ⸻ Week 4 Environment 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% 💡 PPFD: 700–800 µmol/m²/s 🌱 Medium: Plagron Lightmix ? Growing Method: 12/12 From Seed One interesting change this week wasn’t caused by the lights—it was caused by the plants themselves. Some phenotypes have entered a much stronger vertical growth phase, naturally moving closer to the fixtures. Those taller individuals are now receiving around 800 PPFD, while shorter plants remain closer to 700 PPFD. The light hasn’t changed. The plants have. Watching each phenotype respond differently under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this entire project. ⸻ Feeding Strategy The nutrition program has continued to evolve alongside the increasing demands of the garden. During the establishment phase, irrigation remained around pH 5.8, creating ideal conditions for vigorous root development. As those root systems expanded throughout the containers, the nutrient solution gradually shifted toward pH 6.1, allowing access to a broader spectrum of available nutrients within the substrate. At the same time, nutrient concentration was increased progressively throughout the week, finishing around EC 1.8. Nothing dramatic. No aggressive jumps. Simply allowing the plants to dictate the pace rather than forcing one. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and the steady growth throughout the room suggests they’re very happy with the direction we’re taking. ⸻ Cash Express – Pheno A If this lady had a motto, it would probably be: “Catch me if you can.” From the beginning she’s shown an incredible desire to grow, and this week that enthusiasm became even more obvious. While several of the other phenotypes are still building compact structures, Pheno A has decided she’s in a hurry. She’s stretching confidently toward the light while simultaneously producing an impressive amount of lateral growth, creating a plant that feels both elegant and powerful. What has impressed me most isn’t simply her height. It’s how well she’s responding to every bit of training. Throughout the week I’ve continued gently tucking leaves and applying light stress training wherever needed to open the canopy. Rather than slowing down, she seems to reward every adjustment by pushing even more vigorous side branches toward the light. It’s exactly the kind of response every grower hopes for. Each newly exposed branch immediately begins reaching upward, gradually transforming the plant into a much more balanced structure with multiple future flowering sites. The internodal spacing remains very attractive—open enough to allow airflow and light penetration, yet close enough to promise dense flower development later on. Her main stem has thickened noticeably over the past week, giving her a sturdy backbone that’s clearly preparing for the stretch that’s still to come. The foliage is lush, healthy, and beautifully coloured, while the fresh lime-green growth emerging at every tip is a constant reminder of just how actively she’s developing. Looking at her now, it’s easy to understand why this cultivar carries the name Cash Express. She certainly isn’t wasting any time. Every day she seems determined to be just a little taller, a little fuller, and a little stronger than she was the day before. ⸻ Looking Ahead Week 5 should become even more exciting. With flowering now beginning to establish itself, I’m expecting the stretch to continue while the first real flower formation starts becoming visible throughout the canopy. Over the coming days I’ll be watching closely for: • Continued vertical stretch. • Development of the trained side branches. • Early flower site formation. • Structural balance after continued LST. • How she compares to her sister phenotype as flowering progresses. If this week’s momentum is anything to judge by, she’s only just getting started. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure and joining me each week as these incredible genetics continue their journey. Thank you to the amazing GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers from all around the world can learn from one another, share experiences, and celebrate this incredible hobby together. A special thank you to Plagron for supplying the nutrition and cultivation support behind this entire project. Thank you to Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics, equipment, and the opportunity to document every phenotype from seed to harvest. And finally, thank you to everyone who stops by, leaves a comment, shares advice, or simply enjoys watching these plants develop into their own unique personalities. Every phenotype follows the same path. None of them walk it the same way. Growers Love, and I’ll see you all next week. 🌱💚

After cutting and hanging her for a 9 days she was more than dry because of a heat wave. This was a super fun and easy grow, she even endured 12/12 and kept its nice effects and smells! Definitely an RS11 breed by its recognizable smell with some strong lime 🍋‍? lineage. Even for people not much found of citrus I could recommend this one if Z and RS11 are the taste the person enjoy.

Start of week 3 blueberry is flowering and the stretch is almost over. The seedlings are growing nicely.the box got up to 100f this week during mini heat wave had to put ice blocks in rez to lower temp down from 80f. I look forward to the 3 other new strains I’m running. My GSC seedling is looking a little pale I should have waited longer to change rez over to bloom nutes. I have top dressed some organic fertilizer near drip line of nutes 4-6-4 one month release. I applied to all seedlings except blueberry. I reduced blumat on gsc, ww, and ch until surface dried a little bit as my gsc was showing signs of overwatering. Gsc is starting to green back up. My bb had to nanners i plucked them I hope these are all. It could be from the high temps or the one night I had a light leak. BB larger plant receving 1000 ppfd.i turn light back down a notch Gsc leaves started cupping now she’s getting just 550 along with other seedlings.will continue to monitor for improvement and ramp lights up a little later if needed as plants should grow into light.

MY PLANTS GET NO WATTER FOR 4 DAYS 😡 MY AUTO WATERING WAS BROKE AND CNAN'T WOTER MY PLANTS I HOPE THE WILL BE OK 😩 😣 😭 😭 😭 💀 😭 😭

Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had mixed times this week both related to the weather. Tuesday and Wednesday things started to ramp up again tempreture wise 27c day/18c at night. Thursday - Sunday 30c day/ 20c night so pretty flippin hot again and today has been a chilly 28c 😊 Shes been drinking about 4 litres of water a day currently and i had to go away at the weekend for a day, so with the heat she was moved to an area that gets the sun for the first half of the day and given a good drenching. However when i came back shed been partly fried by the heat and some of her lower leaves were crispy to the touch and she was completely dry, i currently feel terrible like an abusive parent and i should have moved het to the full shade ☹️ Shes been really thirsty and two feeds have been administered a few days apart, on the positive side shes had another week of really good growth. A couple of the branches have gone really crazy growing a couple of inches taller than their counter parts and im just gonna leave these, to hopefully grow into some nice big giant connected buds. Flower development is coming on strongly and smell has also increased again, its still kinda a sweet smell but not geting any discernable apricot just yet. Shes also starting to get her frost on 😊 Humidity has come down a bit averaging in the 70s this week and if the good weather continues im just hoping it dosen't shoot up again later development causing the dreaded Budrot! Daylight hours are currently at 16 hours 23 minutes. All in all another good week, thanks for stopping appreciate it ✌️💚

Day 30 toady, i switched to 12/12 3 days ago e the babies are already stretching hard and some are showing preflowers i'm pretty happy i'm watering with no nutrients as i'm using Canna Pro Plus soil and it should have enough nutrients for the first 3/4 weeks of flower. I cleaned the bottom of the plants from lowers branches and leaves and i will continua till day 14 of flower and i fixed it with a bamboo stick i got gifted from @AlpineGoat i will fix the other branches in the next weeks i'm pretty stocked with this grow this genetics are really solid growing strong and fast! Good job @Exotic_Seed!!🙌👍

D-77 : Everything is ok. They are beautyful and strong !

Starting week 4 she is defoliated and lollipopped so all her energy will be going into the upper budsights. She's drinking a lot growing really nice and strong

I wanna try some clear trichs

Start blooming

Vamos familia cosecha de Original de GrowBarato. La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 días en Malla y a los botes, 40% humedad y 24 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado. Por lo demás de miedo os la recomiendo. Gracias Agrobeta y Mars hydro , sin ellos este proyecto no sería igual 🙏.

Welcome guys Finally here we are with the conclusion of this cycle with two NICOLE KUSH 👱‍♀️👱‍♀️🌱 Version from @supersiberia seed bank I have growed all two in the same way (lights, pot, nutrients ecc) One of them was more sweet in the aroma, but each one with a kushy base Anyway, back to the harwest time 👇 The plants is placed for entirely in a cupboard upside down, after the cut, with the leaves still attached.. After about seven / ten days, when the leaves were pretty dry, the flowers crunchy, but before the branches break cleanly...I cleaned all the buds thoroughly, I cut them off the branches and put them back inside of a brown bag. .for about a day / two Later I placed everything in a classic glass jar For 24h I left it closed ⏳ Then I started opening it several times a day More or less, after about three weeks, I usually close the jar permanently and wait a few more weeks to start using the flowers 🔥 About taste and effects 👇 The flavors in smoking are exactly the same you can smell in each one..is good but in the long time i prefer different Kush strain.. The most sweetness one has a taste like the terpenes you can find in a strain like Critical or skunk.. Not my favorites 🙌 The effect is pretty relaxing and staying chill Body stoned Is not my first choise but in the end is enjoyable The plant in growing is also great to see Nice dense buds with a good amount of stickiness 👌 I have growed her in a 3,5l airpot (not the original) with organic liquids nutrients, added in to a soil / cocco / humus and perlite base But if you want to learn more about, check out all my previous weeks 📆 I want to thanks @supersiberia for the seeds 👍👍👍 And to @growdiaries for make this possible 🙏 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

This week started out by hooking the autopot res up to begin the gravity feeding, the roots have had plenty of time to establish and give the autopot plenty to work with. Ive also topped the plants, and thinned down the huge fan leaves, these were acting like an umbrella keeping light out out. Already new growth is kicking in and the plants are responding really well to the prune and gravity feeding. The rest of this week is all about tlc and recovery, and what i mean by that is ill be leaving them well alone and giving them some privacy along with some peace and quite while they settle back down and recover their injuries 👍

Up and running

Gorillas love cookies. I love Gorillas. Done deal

Released the shackles of LST for now — going to allow some vertical and unobstructed growth of all branches for a few days, then perhaps resume. I hope to have another week or so of vegging!

Prossime settimane via....anche queste forbidden runtz sono pronte da conciare,🤣❤️💛💚... quest'ultima settimana la notte la sto lasciando fuori in balcone per fargli un buon sbalzo termico..,,....... Ho tagliato anche quest'ultima forbidden runtz
