I’ll be most definitely harvesting these next week! I will continue with water from now until they are ripe and ready! They are absolutely smelling of some nuttiness and dank fuel ⛽️ like stardawg smells too! The buds are starting to swell too so thinking next 7 days I’ll be ready! Next upload will be harvest hope you like buddies! I’ll be hang drying this time! As I’ll have space and a tent to do it in as before I didn’t and used the brown bag method! But I can maintain between 14c - 18c with a humidity of 42 percent! So I’ll hang dry this time! Any suggestions?? Let me know! I’ll be putting 2 fans on them for air circulation and a air vent only sucking out as it will draw air in on its own and keep the humidity lower in the tent while drying!

Defoliated the heck out of them for the last time.. 2 weeks into flowering, now I’ll just clip stuff here and there that interferes with light.. But that’s it they both look healthy.. Crazy happy with the Red Diesels come back from death to 18” tall so far and multiple colas. For a backup the Cinderella grew great.. Caught up to the diesel with a decent height and still growing.. Both strong plants I may try one re-veg, I’m in between that or mini field of green with Orange Creamsicle seeds I have.. The nutrient calculations are off.. I give them 5ml of mantis per liter every feeding, and 15 ml Bembe per gallon once a week now during flowering.

Only 2 left in the tent

Week 7 is done and that overdrive really packed more buds on her colas, spot where you could kinda see through got filled with more buds and that is neat ! Everyday she seems fatter and fatter, the trichomes are filling up slowly and developing everywhere. If you point a led flashlight at her she will sparkles more than santa Christmas tree I was right about her phenotypes regarding bud development, instead of lots of golf balls sized buds i will get 6 colas jammed pack with lovely buds. Her structure is really strong and she now drinks a lot more than she used too. She put on very nice colours under the right atmospheric conditions and the smell is getting more and more sweet as time passes Overall this cultivar is what you would expect of a blueberry in any way, from the size, the odour , the buds and leaves structure too . Where she Surprised me is in the redish/purple she shows . Dont get me wrong i have seen purple blueberry but not with that red shade in it . I am looking forward to harvest and will starts looking at trichomes with my lens more often, id say another week of full nutrients and a week of flush combined with a 48h of darkness prior to harvest Until then fellow growers, keep growing and take it easy 👊🏻

The one that survived was only inside a 2 litre, unfortunately, so didn't produce no where near as bud as I would've liked to. It's definitely not stable from 2/3 hermies, no issues with the other strains I had going alongside these.

The first week of vegetation is complete, and the plant is off to an okay start! After spending 5 days in the seedling station, I transplanted it into a 15L fabric pot, which will be its final home since it’s an autoflower.🌱 Initially, things weren’t perfect—the first set of leaves turned yellow, likely because I forgot to add coco to the area where I planted it.😅 However, the plant recovered quickly and is now bouncing back nicely! One hiccup was the time-lapse footage—it’s a bit shaky because the fan was directed at the plant, causing some wobble. Overall, I’m optimistic about the plant’s progress and looking forward to seeing how it develops in the coming weeks.🌱 (the plant in the little pot is my first phenotype Runtz muffin from barneys farm that i got gifted and i am getting the setup right now)

Thaught the yield would be bigger and the smell louder in generell.

Beginning of week 8 and seems like a long way to go. Most of the hairs still white. Hopefully the buds will fill in more! As right now I’m planning to take it 10+ weeks. This week I will lower the CO2 slowly 50 PPM every day until I will reach 800PPM. Also I will lower the light intensity by 2% every day. This week I lowered the day temp to 79 degrees and next week I’m playing to lower it every further to 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Water temp is at 68 degrees and probably from week 9 I will lower it to 66. Beginning of week 8 TDS is at 550PPM. I sent adding the Late bloom enhancer from Current Culture! End of week 8 : lowered the TDS to 470ppm , she seems that it not eating so much nutrients anymore. She still drinking 3 gallons of water every single day.

Not much to show this week on the timelapse as we had a cold snap and power went out momentarily, and as such, the camera stopped recording, without me realizing this. So I have also added a little video of the rooms progress. Even with the small bit of footage, I can see that my feeding schedule twice a day seems to keep the leaves from drooping at any time in the video, so I will be keeping this going as is, checking the PH every couple of days and topping up the nutes bucket as needed. I am noticing some leaves dying, but they seem to be mostly ones that are not getting enough light and I am removing them as I go. The upper leaves and buds are looking strong so far, and just a touch of smell in the room. The colas are also starting to thicken and my fingers are getting sticky and stinky when working around them. Looking at the plants from a normal distance, they don't look very crystally, but the close up shots really are making them shine. After taking the pics, I like to zoom in on them and see all the crystals.

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Sweet Seeds, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Abbiamo una cima su una foglia ed è davvero molto grande!!! Non vedo l'ora di assaggiare questa piccola!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

These beautiful lil ladies are coming along nicely eating very well! Not bad for my first photos

This was the last week on vegetation light schedule, we think she had grown enough to start flowering cicle. We also started the defoliation, gradually removing the leaves, when we find it necessary.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 9 | Welcome to My Little Jungle 🌿🔥 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And honestly... I think I'm starting to feel like Tarzan. Walking through the room. Moving between the plants. Looking underneath the canopy. Checking the flowers. Stopping every few minutes because another plant catches my eye. 😂🌿 This grow has become its own little jungle, and I'm having an absolute blast watching it develop. Because the more these plants mature, the more obvious one thing becomes: they may share the same room, but they certainly don't share the same personality. And Cash Express Pheno A is a perfect example. She's growing in essentially the same environment as the Blueberry Muffins. Same room. Same general environmental strategy. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same feeding approach. And yet... look at her. She's doing her own thing. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌱 Week 9 – She's Standing Tall in Her Own Way Cash Express Pheno A has never been one of the giants of the room. And that's okay. Her story was never supposed to be about becoming the tallest plant. Her story is about what she can create with the structure she has. And right now, that structure is becoming incredibly impressive. She's compact. She's well defined. She's developing strong flowering branches. And more importantly, the flowers themselves are starting to become the real stars of the show. When I look at her now, I don't see a small plant. I see a plant that's becoming very efficient with the space she's been given. And that's something I really appreciate. 🌸 The Flowers Are Starting to Speak This week, the flower structure is what immediately catches my attention. The buds are becoming much more pronounced, and those pistils... Wow. They're beautiful. We're seeing these thick, bright white pistils with that subtle yellowish/golden tone, and they stand out beautifully against the surrounding foliage. It's one of those little characteristics that makes this phenotype instantly recognizable when you compare her with the rest of the room. Different plant. Different flower expression. Different personality. And this is exactly why I love taking the time to photograph these girls individually. The macro photographs reveal things that you simply don't appreciate from across the room. You can see the individual pistils. The developing flower structure. The little sugar leaves beginning to surround the buds. The early signs of resin development. And slowly, what started as a collection of tiny flowering sites is becoming something that actually looks like a proper flower. She's getting there. And she's looking fantastic doing it. 🚂 Small Frame – Serious Flower Potential This girl continues proving something that we've already learned several times during this adventure: Plant height isn't the same thing as plant potential. She's not towering over everybody. She doesn't need to. She's using her available space differently. The branches are carrying developing flowers, and the structure is becoming increasingly easy to read. There's a certain confidence to her now. Almost like she's saying: "I don't need to be the biggest plant here." "Just watch what I do." 😄 And honestly? I'm watching. Very closely. 🌿 Same Room – Completely Different Expression This is probably one of the most fascinating parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. Take Cash Express. Now look at the Blueberry Muffins. Same general environment. Same flowering schedule. Similar nutritional strategy. Yet look at the differences. Different leaf structure. Different branching. Different flower formation. Different density. Different pistil appearance. Different overall architecture. This is where the experiment becomes really valuable. Because if I were growing only one plant, I might look at Cash Express and simply say: "She's compact." But because she's growing beside eleven other cultivars, we can actually see the difference. The environment is providing the baseline. The genetics are providing the personality. And Cash Express has quite a personality. 💨 Structure, Airflow & Flowering Space As the flowers continue developing, I'm increasingly interested in maintaining good movement through the plant. At this stage, the goal isn't simply to produce as much foliage as possible. We want the plant to have enough healthy leaves to support flowering while maintaining sensible spacing throughout the canopy. Good airflow becomes increasingly important as flowers become larger and denser. We're trying to avoid unnecessary stagnant areas inside the canopy and keep the overall environment comfortable for the plant. That's one of the reasons the cleaning and canopy management we've been doing throughout the room matters. It's not about stripping plants because a certain week number says we should. It's about looking at what each plant is doing and responding accordingly. And Cash Express is telling us that her structure is working very nicely. So we're not trying to reinvent her. We're simply helping her continue doing what she's already doing well. 💡 Let the Photons Do Their Job She's also a great example of why I like thinking about the canopy as a three-dimensional space. It's not just about what happens directly underneath the main light. There are flowers positioned at different heights and angles throughout the plant. The room's additional inner and under-canopy lighting helps bring useful light into areas that would otherwise receive less. That gives these compact plants another advantage. Instead of trying to solve everything through aggressive defoliation, we can combine: 💡 Good lighting 🌿 Sensible canopy structure 💨 Air movement 🌡️ Environmental stability ✂️ Selective cleaning It's all about creating a balanced system. And Cash Express is certainly taking advantage of it. ⚗️ Nutrition – Still Holding Steady The nutrition programme remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required The current solution remains around pH 6.0 and approximately 2.0 mS/cm EC. And honestly, there's no reason to start changing things simply because we're excited about what we're seeing. She's developing. She's flowering. She's maintaining herself beautifully. So we're keeping the strategy steady and allowing the plant to put that nutrition toward what matters now: flowers. The plants don't need us constantly changing the recipe. Sometimes consistency is the most important input we can provide. 🌡️ Environment – Stable Enough to Let Her Work The room continues to provide a stable environment shared with the other flowering plants. We're currently around: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% ⚗️ pH – ~6.0 ⚡ EC – ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💦 Watering – approximately 1.2–1.3 L/plant/24h We're also maintaining the additional lighting strategy throughout the room, including the inner and under-canopy lighting. The important thing for me isn't finding one magical number. It's keeping the whole system working together. Light. Temperature. Humidity. CO₂. Nutrition. Root-zone conditions. Water availability. They're all pieces of the same puzzle. And right now, Cash Express appears very comfortable with the picture we've created. 🔬 The Personality of Cash Express Pheno A If I had to describe her in just a few words now? Compact. Structured. Beautiful. She's not trying to dominate the room. She's not trying to become the tallest. She's simply standing there and showing us what she can do. And that's actually one of the things I find most rewarding about this plant. She has her own identity. The flower structure is becoming distinctive. The pistils have their own look. The plant architecture is easy to recognize. And every week, that identity becomes stronger. That's the beauty of watching a phenotype from seed all the way through flowering. At the beginning, you're basically meeting a stranger. Then slowly... you start learning her personality. 📸 Behind the Lens And this week? The camera had a very good time. 😂📸 The close-up photographs really highlight the developing flowers. Those thick white pistils almost look like little fireworks coming out of the buds. The subtle warmer/yellowish tones give the flowers a beautiful contrast compared with some of the other plants in the room. And then the wider photographs bring everything back into perspective. You can see the structure. The branches. The distribution of flowers. The compact architecture. The way she's building her own little world inside the room. This is exactly why I love documenting the grow this way. The camera slows me down. It makes me stop. Look. Observe. And sometimes discover something I completely missed five minutes earlier. 🌿 Tarzan in the 8×8 Jungle 😂 And I have to admit something... I'm having way too much fun with this run. 😂🌿 Walking around the tent between twelve different plants, checking flowers, moving leaves, looking underneath the canopy, photographing different angles... Sometimes I genuinely feel like I'm walking through a tiny jungle. Tarzan with a camera. 😂📸🌴 But that's also what makes this adventure so enjoyable. I'm not just trying to get to harvest. I'm enjoying the process. I'm learning. I'm adapting. I'm watching what works. I'm watching what doesn't. And every plant teaches me something different. That's probably the biggest lesson of this entire run so far. You can have a plan. But the plants will always have something to add to it. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now we're getting into a very exciting part of the flowering cycle. The flowers are established. The structure is clear. And the next phase is about watching those flowers develop more mass and density. Over the coming week, I'll be watching for: 🌸 Continued flower swelling ? Further development of those beautiful pistils 💎 Increasing resin production 🌿 Healthy foliage supporting the flowers 💨 Good airflow throughout the structure 📈 Increasing bud density and definition And, as always, I'm not going to force the plant into a predetermined schedule. If she needs something, we'll respond. If she's happy... we let her work. That's the beauty of this adventure. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let's Make Her Shine Cash Express Pheno A may not be the tallest plant in the 8×8. She may not be the biggest. She may not have the largest footprint. But she's becoming one of those plants that you can't help but stop and look at. Because the more you look... the more you see. The structure. The flowers. Those beautiful thick white pistils. The subtle warmer tones. The developing resin. The way she's filling her space. She's not asking for attention. She's earning it. And that's exactly what I want to do with this week's update. Give her the spotlight. Let her shine. Let her show everybody what this particular Cash Express phenotype can do. Because she's doing something beautiful. And we're still only watching the beginning of the final chapter. 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. This project has become such an incredible learning experience for me. Twelve different cultivars. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories unfolding in front of us. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this journey and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can become. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the plants throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering this jungle. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy. And finally... thank you to everyone watching. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by just to see how the girls are doing. You're part of this adventure too. I'm learning every week. I'm adapting every week. And I'm having an absolute blast doing it. So here's to another week in the jungle. 🌿😂 And here's to this beautiful little Cash Express Pheno A. She may be compact... but she's got serious flower power. 🚂🌸🔥 Let's make her shine. Let's let her do her thing. And let's see what this little powerhouse brings us next. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🚂🔥

this week is like every other feed bat poo tea and straight water outdoors so sun takes care of her right through

Esta semana ha hubo un notario cambio en las pequeñas! Se recuperaron muy bien, han empezado a comer bien y pegaron estirón! A partir de la proxima semana empezaran a comer mas i a acavar de crecer!

things have been going a little different from planned since these are now photos and not autos i think i have my tent dialed in to keep the door shut and the temps and rh stabable ish so ive switch the lights to 12/12 i top dressed with 5 tbs of 2-8-4 power bloom with gaia greens and 2 tbs worm casting but instead of just power it directly on the top the plant soil i pre mixed it in a bowl with a couple hand fulls of the gaia green living soil so it mixes in better with the least amount of root disturbance i also set up a scrog net to see how that goes i did contact Canuk seeds via instagram and shared my diary link and they have been more then helpful i cant be happpier with there conustmer service, i found that reaching out through instagram is the fastest way to get ahold of them

got the camera issue fixed and will get a time lapse up tonight :) The pH issue is back where it drops to about 4.6 by the next night and i think thats causing the brown spots on the leaves. Im starting to see some owange hairs so im thinking she has about 2 weeks ish left.

This week, I'm going to keep closer tabs on daily activities. All plants are showing signs of deficiencies. Monday 1/18 - "Flushed" all plants with Clearex. I did about 2.5 gallons per plant and I normally water about 1. I think in general, I'm going to up my watering from here on out if they survive. Tues 1/19 - No watering. Still got a good bit of moisture in the pots. All three plants look a bit healthier. Wed 1/20 - All plants healed by Biden lol. Just in case that fails, I top amended with FFOF mixed with like 2 tbs of Dr Earth, spread across soil for all 3 pots. I watered 3, 3gallon plants with 5 gallons total. Apx 1.5 gallons per plant and they all ran off. Plants looking healthier than they did pre-flush, but I think i'll need to go ahead feed the full amount of Dr Earth at the start of week 9. Thurs 1/21 - Plants are looking pretty good. Critical Kush leaves are turning a bit purple, could be phosphorus def. Friday 1/22 - Normally I would have watered, but the top 2 inches felt damp and the moisture meter shows 2-3 towards the bottom. Gonna give it another day Sat 1/23 - Feed and watering time! I went ahead and did 4 Tablespoons of Dr Earth Life in each 3 gallon pot. The most I've fed to date. This week seems to have been recovering fairly well. Check out the video for a decent tour. In the video I said I fed 4 teaspoons, but it was tablespoons. 😵

Plants started growing very fast. 20 hours light a day and 140 ml water for 2 plants so 35 ml each plant. (70ml -35ml one plant- morning, and 70ml -35ml one plant evening). From Monday I will start giving 200ml water 100ml in the morning and then the rest in the evening. Ventilation almost 24 hours, They are getting bushy and the color looks healthy green. I am excited. Purple Punch ( the right one) does not have the smell but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling from the 3rd week, it is not strong, it is smooth, enjoyable. I still use trigger spray but I stopped triggering directly on the plant to avoid any fungee or toxicity, I just keep the soil moist. I surrounded them with kitchen foil around the lamp to have a more effective light. It reflects the light and the light goes everywhere. This step has been done because I have only the 60w LED each plant so I try to provide the maximum strength this way, and by keeping close distance also. The lamp is not hot so it ain't gonna burn the plant I had checked it before. I just purchased today a 600w LED because these plants look so good so I wanna provide the best circumstances for them. 4th-week 4th day I a just waiting for my delivery my 600 W grow LED light will come. From today I started watering with 50ml each plant 2 times a day so all together 200ml a day. Plus I always use trigger spray for the soil to be kept wet. They are looking better and better. Nice color and bushy appearance. Wonderful. I realized some holes on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe's leaf but there is no insect I was checking. I do not really know the reason for that. Tonight I will set up the new 600 W LED so I am changing the current 120W. Big Step forward! It is not that easy that I thought, the lamp is great but the temperature raised up a lot, so needed to buy a fan also and the humidity went down. It is not easy to find the proper solution to be acceptable, good temperature and humidity at the same time. So I decided to program a 6/2 schedule, so 6 hours light on and the fan always with 15 min more, and 2 hours off so I do provide 18 hours light and 6 hours darkness but it is divided. The plants can rest after every six hours and use the energy they received. Last day of the 4th week, LST has been done with the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe, both are growing rapidly, let's see what the 5th week brings! End of he week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 25cm, Purple Punch is 20cm😇
