Last days, getting fat and frosty. Switching to 24 hr for the final few days before chop. Last water was on day 85. I feel like I could actually wait another week or 2 but want to have some Xmas gift for friends so that clock is ticking. Easily 10% amber trichs at the moment and will likely get more with full light and no water for the next couple of days. Harvest coming right up!

Apparently everything is going well, there was a slight burn from a mineral MKP insertion; to be honest, I confused the quantities and thought the MKP was NitCal, hence the slight burn on the leaves, but nothing too critical, no signs of astringency or hermaphroditism, new pistils are emerging and buds are resin-producing more and more. Despite everything, I remain satisfied, but I understand that I have a lot to improve. Until next time.

Week 6! Plants are green and healthy. They range from 15”-25”.

Cash Express – Pheno A | Week 3 A Picture of Vigor Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure, where twelve cultivars are being documented individually under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Each phenotype receives its own dedicated diary, allowing us to observe not only cultivar differences but also the subtle variations that appear between sister plants sharing the same genetic foundation. Week 3 has been a week of acceleration. The entire room received a substantial increase in light intensity, moving from approximately 370 µmol/m²/s PPFD to 700 µmol/m²/s PPFD at canopy level. Nutrient strength increased alongside the lighting, and the plants have responded with enthusiasm. Growth rates are increasing, branching is becoming more apparent, and the room is beginning to transition from seedlings into young plants with real structure and personality. Among them, Cash Express Pheno A is making a very strong first impression. ⸻ 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 environment remains stable, which allows each cultivar to express its genetic potential without external stress factors influencing development. ⸻ Cash Express Pheno A Some plants attract attention because they are unusual. Others attract attention because they are simply doing everything right. Cash Express Pheno A belongs firmly in the second category. Looking through this week’s photographs, the first word that comes to mind is: Vigor. Everything about this plant communicates health. The leaves are broad and evenly developed. The coloration is rich and consistent. The stem is sturdy. The internodal spacing remains compact. And perhaps most importantly, the overall symmetry is excellent. From above, the plant displays a clean, balanced structure that many growers hope to see at this stage of development. Each new node seems to emerge with confidence, stacking neatly above the previous one while maintaining a very organized architecture. The increased PPFD appears to have been welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Instead of stretching toward the light, the plant is building mass. The canopy is widening. The stem is thickening. The branching is becoming more defined. This is exactly the kind of response growers hope to see when increasing light intensity. One of my favorite observations this week is the contrast between the mature fan leaves and the fresh emerging growth. The older leaves provide a strong foundation while the new growth pushes upward with remarkable energy, creating that vibrant layered look that healthy plants often display during rapid vegetative development. There is a confidence to this phenotype. No strange leaf shapes. No unusual growth patterns. No hesitation. Just steady, healthy progression. Sometimes perfection can be boring. But in the garden, perfection is still beautiful. And this plant is undeniably beautiful. ⸻ Reading the Plant One of the most important lessons in cultivation is learning to observe rather than assume. This week offered a perfect example. When PPFD was increased to approximately 700 µmol/m²/s, the goal was not simply to provide more light. The goal was to see how the plants would respond. Cash Express Pheno A answered quickly. The leaves remained comfortable and relaxed. The plant maintained healthy posture. New growth accelerated. Color remained strong. These signals tell us that the plant is utilizing the additional photons effectively rather than becoming stressed by them. This is why environmental monitoring is so valuable. Plants communicate continuously. The challenge is learning how to listen. ⸻ Structure and Development At this stage, Pheno A is developing into a plant that could potentially become a very balanced individual later in flower. Several characteristics stand out: * Excellent symmetry * Strong central growth * Healthy branching development * Compact internodal spacing * Consistent leaf morphology * Strong response to increased PPFD The architecture currently suggests a phenotype capable of building a dense, productive canopy while maintaining a manageable structure. Of course, the real story is still ahead. Week 3 only gives us the first hints of what this plant may become. But those hints are promising. Very promising. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week, I will be watching closely for: * Continued branch development * Response to the higher EC feeding schedule * Growth rate compared to neighboring cultivars * Structural changes as additional nodes form * Early indicators of flowering transition under the 12/12 schedule If the current pace continues, this plant could quickly establish itself as one of the stronger performers in the room. For now, she remains one of the cleanest examples of healthy development in the entire project. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along with this journey. Thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community for providing a place where growers can document, learn, share experiences, and support one another. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and cultivation support powering this project. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and opportunity to document these cultivars from seed to harvest. And thank you to every grower, reader, supporter, and curious visitor who takes time out of their day to follow these updates. The plants grow because of biology. The project grows because of community. 🌱💚 Growers Love and see you next week.

Harvest went well. Chopped them down. Hanging now with a gentle fan. Chopped a few lower branches to dry and smoke while waiting. Havent weighed anything yet. Will add weights to this week soon. A total of 14.3 oz.

Some more photos. ✌️

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D80 (13/05/2021): I'm looking at the trichomes every other days. Glue Gelato is starting to show amber on top buds. No amber for Banana Kush and Gelato. This time I will chop them all at the same time so the one I will rely on is the Glue Gelato. As soon as she is ready, I will harvest them all. Banana Kush and Gelato would probably need more, but in term of logistic, I need to harvest all my plants at the same time. D83 (16/05/2021): Not ready yet. I'm checking trichomes closely! 😬 - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-25C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light. - ***IPM: I never mention it but I'm using nematodes pouch as an integrated pest management. I had trouble with pest in my first grow and I learned from it. That's the only thing I do for pest and of course watching closely and regularly at my plants 😊

👋 Welcome to the second official week! Our "vintage" **Sour Stomper** 🏺 remains absolutely unstoppable, taking a massive leap forward this week. We have successfully executed the transplant into her final home and introduced pure frequency sintonization to boost cellular development during this crucial transition. 📸 The plant is showing an incredibly strong vegetative structure 💪, with razor-thin internodal spacing and completely healthy, stress-free growth. ## 📊 ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS & LIGHTING 💡🌡️ ✨ We have dialed in every environmental factor to perfectly accommodate the newly expanded root zone and the seedling's rapid evolution. -⏰ Light Schedule:** 18 Hours On / 6 Hours Off ☀️🌙 -📏 Plant Size:** 6 cm in height 📈 (Super compact and robust) -💡 Lamp Distance:** 64 cm 📏 (Perfectly calibrated after the transplant to maintain ideal photon pressure and completely prevent stretching 🛑) -🌡️ Day Temperature:** 27.0°C – 28.0°C 🔥 (Active and steady metabolic rate) -❄️ Night Temperature:** 22.0°C 🌌 (Ideal thermal stability) -💧 Relative Humidity (RH):** 75% - 80% ☁️ (An absolute spa treatment for the foliage) 💧 FEEDING, WATERING & TRANSPLANT LOG 🏺 -🏺 Final Container:** Successfully transplanted into the definitive **11-Liter** pot . - Nutrients Added:** None (0.0 ml/L) ❌. Watered exclusively with pure water adjusted to a stable pH of 6.4 🌊. - Living Soil Life:** During the transplant process, we prepared the new 11L substrate by burying the **BioTabs** conditioning tablets and introducing a heavy microbiological inoculation of **Microtrex** (beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae) directly into the root hole to guarantee immediate root colonization 💥. 🎵 SPECIAL TECHNIQUES: SOUND BIO-HACKING (528Hz) 🧘‍♂️🔊 This week, we formally launched our plant sound protocol: **30 minutes of daily exposure to a 528Hz Pure Tone**, played precisely at the moment the lights turn off 🤫🌙. Here is the pure science behind agricultural **Sonoculture**: - Cellular Mechanical Stimulation:** Plants lack ears, but they are loaded with **mechanoreceptors** (cellular sensors that detect acoustic vibrations). The exact vibration of 528Hz acts as a micro-cellular massage, accelerating cytoplasmic streaming and significantly improving internal nutrient mobility 📈. -🍃 Stomata Regulation:** Acoustic waves within this specific range stimulate optimal opening of the stomata (the breathing leaf pores), boosting gas exchange and transpiration efficiency right before entering the dark phase 🌬️. -🛡️ Cellular Anti-Stress Shield:** Widely recognized for its cell-repairing capabilities, this tone helps the seedling bypass *transplant shock* seamlessly, reinforcing its cellular immune system 👑. 📝 WEEKLY OBSERVATIONS & PROGRESS 🕵️‍♂️📈 -🌱 Transplant Response:** Mind-blowing! The plant didn't droop for even a single second after the pot change. Her **6 cm frame** stands firm, and the root mass is already actively exploring the fresh 11L Living Soil. -🌿 Internodal Spacing:** By locking the lamp distance at **64 cm** 📏, the canopy has stayed beautifully close to the ground. The new vegetative nodes are stacking tightly from the center, forging the perfect bushy profile we want. -? Overall Health Check:** Uniform and incredibly glossy emerald green color 💎. The leaves display flawless turgor and are actively "praying" towards the light with their tips pointed straight up—a definitive sign that she is processing her environment at 100%. 👑 **Weekly Conclusion:** The transplant was a textbook success. With the BioTabs living soil system activated, the light footprint calibrated, and the daily 528Hz sound therapy running, the blueprint for an invincible structure is fully set. Moving into next week with a certified champion! 🚀🔥✨

Tento týden jsem provedl pořádnou defoliaci a odstranění nízkých větví, které se nedostanou na světlo. Zakoupení odvlhčovače nepomohlo snížit vlhkost.. budu muset pravděpodobně v budoucnosti zalévat menším množství vody. D82/19 Čtvrtek Každá z holek dostala 1,5l vody bez živin. Poté jsem rozpustil 2x RQS bloom booster tablets ve 13 litrech vody do které jsem přidal i ostatní živiny vypsané výše. Tento roztok jsem rozdělil mezi mé dívky. Každá tím pádem dostala 3 litry vody a částečně jsem tím propláchl substrát jako prevenci usazování solí.

Week 14 - July 30 Last vegetation weeks. On 4 plants: 2 healthy / 2 injured. Royal Moby and GMOxZombieK were seriously contaminated with aphids. To stop the propagation I did many washes with black soap and neem oil but may be I treated at the wrong time: morning, even soon; is too late by a hot sunny summer day. I think the 2 plants are suffering from sunburn… and they still have aphids… I stopped soap treatments and try another recipe which seems working very good against aphids and revitalizing all plants: spraying Garlic + Laurel -I cooked separately during 1h garlic (5 cloves) and Lauren leaves (12) in approximately 1L of water -filtered the preparations and wait 4 days -for 1L of water to spray: 15cl garlic mixture + 5 cl laurel BEWARE: checking Ph… last year I burned plants with garlic + chili mixture: it was catastrophic. Brake Pad Breath and Flash Back are beautiful and healthy. Aphids aren’t interested by this 2 plants. I did preventive treatments Neem oil and soap but not so much. Good reaction to the Garlic+Laurel. Plants are bushy, densely ramified. Deep green color, the female sexual signs are visible. Ready for flowering. Watering with a little bit of nutrients 1.5L/plants each 2 or 3 days Defoliation Now I quit the “garden” for 7 days…traveling to Amsterdam (NL) and Prague (CZ) for holidays. I installed automatic watering systems (Blumat) and sticky traps, locked the veranda, programmed the Ventilation and crossed fingers. I’m not afraid about heat or dry…. More about pests and diseases….and rubbery too cause I have 6 auto flowering quasi ready. I’m writing this in Prague, returning in my country to the west side in 2 days. After smoking lot of joints in Amsterdam (3 days) Amnesia haze Tangerine dream Kush Mints Super Lemon Haze Dynamite cookie Intergalactic toad Super Silver Haze In Prague Weed (THC) is prohibited. But I discovered that you can buy pre roll joints (100% pure hemp-Thc-sativa, hybrid etc…) in strange gifts shops for 6€. It’s really not the best weed but it’s Strong and easygoing.

WEEK 3 FLOWERING (a flowering week is 5 days) Today some leaves are showing signs of nutes deficiency, maybe POTASSIUM (K) deficiency (see photos and comment if you know better) so I decided to begin a more nutes consistent flowering program with 1.42 EC I never mentioned before, but I areate every water feeding with an air pump (check the video) Will update soon! 🌱

welcome to Day 37 as you can see from the photos the plants are doing very well 0 deficiencies have been found however the plants strain appears to be very slow and what I mean by that is it grows very slowly at least it seems to be in the early stages of course it's probably even slower because I have topped it. If you have any questions pop them in the comments below happy growing and keep your stick on the ice Day 41 i had to start using green planets vitathrive since i cant find any voodoo juice

Second week of flower out the way plants coming on well had a nice stretch over the last two weeks , one week to go before give them a good defoliation, conditions been spot on and haven't had a issue yet so hopefully all stays well till harvest
