This week i split the stem on my purple lemonade auto to see if it gets bigger yield and bigger buds i will soon see the purple only has about three weeks to go the gorilla glue auto has along way to go but its flowering hard and fast

Week 8 – Day 59 Flower Day 29 🔄 Looking back: Still watering with mixed osmosis/tap water, but the drain pH remains stubbornly low, between 5.6 and 5.8 📉 🔧 I’ve decided to go back to using BioBizz pH+, which helped me correct the drain pH effectively in my last grow. The Canna pH+ just doesn’t seem to work well in combination with Advanced Nutrients 🤔 🌿 Plant status – Mimosa Evo 📏 Height: 104 cm – stretch seems to be over, finally! 😅 💡 She’s under the same light setup as White Widow, currently running at ~950 PPFD ✅ No issues with light stress – she’s handling it very well ⚗️ Feeding at 100% of the Advanced Nutrients Masterline schedule, still no signs of deficiencies or burn 📌 Conclusion: All plants look great – including Mimosa Evo – despite the consistently low drain pH. → There’s no visible damage, but I’d still prefer to raise it slightly over time. BioBizz pH+ is on the way.

Coming along

Week 9 light schedule switched to 12/12 and bio-bloom & top-max were added to the feed but unfortunately some leaves turned pale yellow and some strange marks appeared. We re going to flush in the next week to make sure feeding can be safely applied again. Autoflower plant going no problem and should be harvested soon. Smell is intense orange with undertones of pine.

I bought Sexy Moma out of the grow tent to get some good pictures for you. I am in the 5th week of flowering, and STRNG seeds says it needs 8 to 9 weeks to flower. It's still a little too hot in my grow tent so I have been opening it up and letting cool air inside. I am not sure how to get my temperature down using the lights?? As usual, I included the temperature in this area because it plays a part in how hot my grow tent gets in my garage. As usual, I clipped off a bud so I could get some close up pics of her. I smelled the bud and it smells great; but I just can’t pinpoint how to describe her just yet. What I can say for sure is she smells and so does my tent! a look at the close up pictures I took with my Max-see magnifier!! Her buds continue to get bigger and she definitely sticky!! A couple of more weeks and I will be flushing her!! Stay tuned to next week to see how Sex Panther Auto is doing! As always, Be Happy!! Comments and Likes are appreciated!! Susquihanna

Starting this week I will also add Oxygen granulate (KMPS, CAS-70693-62-8, 2KHSO₅ * KHSO₄ * K₂SO₄) I use this once a day to reach ~250 mV on my ORP meter, it is not calibrated so it more of a good guess, adding this helps to keep the reservoir stable even with higher nutrient temperatures in summer and it also adds a little Kalium/Potassium for the plants. The ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

Purple shades are starting to show up… I think the size of the buds has not change from last week, I will start to flush out this lady

We are getting close to the finish line. She never got big but she did produce what she could. She smells absolutely amazing. I can wait for harvest day. The next one I’m growing indoors for sure. The heat was not nice to this one.

Surprised by how well the water is wicked to the medium from the water bottle, it took a long time, but wick works as intended. I was unsure how much if any nutrient would be transferred via wick but the high salt content altered pH at certain parts. Right before the symptoms arose I decided to supercrop the stem top to bottom on one plant, shortly thereafter the burning happened from the same plant from running 8.0 pH, and nutrient uptake ground to a halt on the plant that was dealing with stress. She doesn't seem happy. Remedied with aluminum sulfate, things seem to be coming back to normal. I need to be more careful with salts. I need MOAR knowledge. How many weeks shall we veg? Going to take a while to fill that canopy with just two plants, should probably start topping now but I'll wait until pH problem Is remedied first, a couple more days hopefully 🙏. I defoliated maybe 6 bigger leaves that had burned yellow on one plant, as it comes back to optimal range, this will be a good opportunity to observe the subtle differences that early defoliation can make. Added a pound of tourmaline powder and biochar, both increase soil urease and invertase activities. *2025 Didn't charge the biochar skewing my ph drastically. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into CO2 and NH3 and is a key component in the nitrogen cycle in soils. Invertase (d-fructofuranosidfructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) is the enzyme that capable both break down α-1,4-glycosidic linkage between d-glucose and d-fructose of sucrose and transferring αβ-D-O-fructofuranoside residue to an acceptor substrate (Toledo et al., 2019). Since tourmaline is widely distributed in the natural environment and has many excellent physical and chemical properties including radiating far infrared energy, permanently releasing negative ions, producing an electrostatic field, releasing rare microelements, and stimulating the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and plants, tourmaline had been conducted to alleviate potential environmental pollution. Perfect for how much seaweed I've added just incase.

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Chem Brûlée (Plant A) | Week 4 Building Strength Before the Fireworks Begin Welcome back to another chapter of my 8×8 Adventure, a project where twelve unique cultivars are sharing the exact same environment while every phenotype is documented individually throughout its entire life cycle. Growing every plant under identical conditions allows each genetic to tell its own story, revealing the subtle differences in growth habits, structure, vigor, and personality that make phenotype hunting such an exciting experience. This week we’re shining the spotlight on Chem Brûlée – Plant A, a lady that has quietly been building an impressive foundation while showing signs that she’s ready to become one of the standout plants in the room. Every update she becomes a little bigger, a little stronger… and a little more interesting. ⸻ 🌿 Life Inside the 8×8 Jungle The environment continues to provide ideal conditions for healthy development across the entire garden. This week the room has been running at approximately: • 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ⚡ Nutrient Solution EC: 1.36 mS/cm • pH: 6.12 • 💦 Reservoir Temperature: 25.7°C Despite the warmer temperatures, vigorous airflow keeps fresh air moving throughout the canopy while maintaining healthy transpiration. Every cultivar continues receiving exactly the same care, making the differences between genetics even more fascinating to observe. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Chem Brûlée continues receiving the same balanced feeding schedule as the rest of the garden. Nutrition this week: • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Vita Race (foliar application) The response has been excellent. Healthy color, sturdy stems, and vigorous new growth suggest she’s making great use of everything available to her. ⸻ 🌱 Growth & Development This lady has really started to find her rhythm. Over the past week she has put on noticeable vertical growth while maintaining a beautifully symmetrical structure. Every new node appears clean, evenly spaced, and packed with healthy growth. One characteristic immediately catches my attention… Those fan leaves. They’re becoming absolutely enormous. Each new set seems broader than the last, creating an impressive solar panel capable of capturing every bit of available light. The leaf color remains beautifully uniform, with rich green tones extending from the oldest foliage right into the newest growth. Structurally she’s also beginning to separate herself from some of the other cultivars in the room. Where others are stretching aggressively or branching heavily, Chem Brûlée seems determined to build a thick, balanced framework first. She feels composed. Confident. Like she’s quietly preparing for something special later in flower. Although she’s beginning to show increasing activity around the upper nodes, I’m still considering her firmly in vegetative growth as she continues investing her energy into building size and strength. ⸻ ✂️ Training & Canopy Management This week has been all about allowing the plant to develop naturally while making only small adjustments where necessary. A little leaf tucking has helped expose developing side branches, allowing more light to penetrate deeper into the canopy without removing valuable foliage. At this stage those massive fan leaves are working in her favor, fueling rapid growth while protecting the young shoots beneath. Sometimes the best training is simply knowing when to leave a healthy plant alone. Right now she’s rewarding that patience. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead I’m genuinely excited to see where this phenotype decides to go. Every week she’s revealing a little more character, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that she won’t simply blend into the rest of the room. With her broad leaves, strong central stem, and balanced branching, I wouldn’t be surprised if she develops into one of the dominant plants inside the tent once flowering is fully underway. For now, the plan remains simple: Continue providing a stable environment. Allow her natural vigor to lead the way. Keep encouraging healthy structure without rushing her development. Sometimes the strongest performers are the ones that spend a little more time building the foundation. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts One of the greatest joys of this project is watching every cultivar write its own story. Chem Brûlée isn’t trying to imitate anyone else in the room. She’s growing at her own pace, building her own architecture, and showing characteristics that already make her stand apart from the crowd. Those beautiful oversized fan leaves… The vigorous vertical growth… The healthy, vibrant canopy… Everything points toward a plant with enormous potential. I’m incredibly curious to see how this unique phenotype expresses herself once flowering begins. The journey is only just getting started. ⸻ A huge thank you to Plagron for providing the outstanding nutrition that keeps this garden thriving, Zamnesia for the incredible genetics and equipment helping bring this project to life, and of course to the entire GrowDiaries community for all the support, encouragement, and inspiration throughout this adventure. Growers Love and thank you all for following along with my 8×8 Adventure. I’ll see you in the next update, where Chem Brûlée will continue revealing exactly what she’s capable of. 🌱🔥

Day 43 12/08/24 Monday Feed today, it was warm again so they drank the whole 300ml each so I have topped up another 150ml to see run off to prevent salt build up. Thriving 😍✌️💚 Day 45 14/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 48 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Picture and video update ✌️ 💚

First week of flower and she’s starting her stretch. Did a round of light defoliation. I’m going to remove smaller flowering sites once she’s stopped her stretch. For now I’m going to let her do her thing unless she gets too big for the tent.

She is growing steong and healthy.. the winter its cloudy here and I am using cob led.

Adding in a 65 W Horticulture Lighting Group quantum board has really helped my dessert cheese develop! This plant has nice even growth and thick stems and branches! It’s shorter than the sativas, with fatter leaves. The ambient humidity has been dry. I used a cool steam vaporizer with some lavender and eucalyptus oils to add some h2o to the air and gas out potential insects. Having the remaining pots in larger containers has helped stabilize the humidity. Added nematodes day 37

Really nice strain , still not figured out why it autoflowered. Hints of sweet cheese and that lemon citrus from the jack H

Sunday, May 29, 2022 Plant #3 is stretching away by a foot over Plant #2. Both Plants looking well but displaying different leaf behaviour (particularly of the upper growth). When well watered, in full sun, Plant # 2 has perky, praying leaves that go down somewhat at night. In the same conditions, Plant #3 has droopy leaves that get even more tucked in at night. It was only from feeling the strong turgidity of the Plant #3 leaves when under good water and comparing them to Plant #2 that I accepted that it was ok and that's just how it wears its' clothes. The red and white pistils are filling out from top to bottom on all stems on Plant #2. Even though it's not as tall as its' neighbour, the six main stems on plant #2 seem proportional to, hopefully, support nice thick colas. Plant #3 is furring out much slower and though I am happy for the height, I am concerned the stems aren't thick enough to support much weight.

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 💚🧟‍♀️ My little monster.

Hello! We are in week 7 now. Girls going so well, they looks so happy :) They get more light from yesterday I hang mh ts 600 so all together is 50k lumens now :) So proud of them atm and hopefully will be like that until the end :) how do you like my grow? Let me know what you thinking :) thanks for your attention! Take care guys! Update Day 45 i found a little dark points on some od the leafs. I recive its cal and mag deficiency. I check soil pH was 5.9 🙈 i rise it up to 6.5 and waiting for results:)
