Alright guys, welcome back — week 7 of veg with the Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Humboldt. This week feels like a big win compared to the last one. The adjustments I made finally paid off. Cutting off the extractor really helped bring humidity back up, and that gave the plant the push it needed to get back into an optimal growth rhythm. I also realized that adding an extra light before was too much — way too much PPFD. So now I’ve gone back to a more balanced setup with a 54W COB at 5000K. The environment feels much more stable, uniform, and the plant clearly loves it. Nutrients are still straight Athena — Grow A, Grow B, CalMag, and Cleanse. EC is holding around 1.4. One thing I’ve noticed is a slight drift between what’s in the reservoir and what ends up in the saucer. That’s why I keep the res around pH 5.5–5.6. Once it drains through to the pot, it tends to rise, landing closer to 5.8 or even 6.0. It’s a bit tricky to manage, but the idea is to aim lower in the res so that the root zone ends up right where it should be. So, the main challenge for the upcoming week is to keep that pH steady in the sweet spot — ideally buffered around 5.8 to 6.0. If I can lock that in, the plant should keep pushing strong. For now, everything looks good. I’m happy with the comeback this week — definitely a victory. Let’s see how it evolves next week. Catch you then!

So. Couple things happend and i choped them a bit earlier than colours would say or i would want, but ; I touched one bud , squeezed it ;))) and after 3 days it was budrot, so i panicked ( so much , that even forgot to take pictures) and turned off lights for 3 days . Second thing my last photo will show - i decided to reveg best plants and didnt want to flush out them totaly ... First two smalest plant produced : Leafy no bottom trim - 66 grams, but they where mostly airy Two round defoliated weakest one - 60 g of lovely small nugs . Tasted both same, maybe leafie one had more smell at begining... Both on cure still... Now always leaf strip before flower, around week 3 and 6 of flower and bottom strip. Hated that time while i was playing with trim on those 1/5 of popcorn bud sometimes ;))) P.s. while choping forgot to take photos one of the niciest girls ;)

Not much to say, by the end of this week I will defoliate. She is running fibe without any problem so far

Day 43 F All going fantastically and amazing getting nice a frosty on them to

Going towards some Dark cloudy and rainy days, but all of the 3 girls are looking veryy good beautiful! And Can really Tell now Why the breeder is called sweet seeds, because they’re really stsrting to smell soo sweet, berry kinda, especially seed 1( the darkest of Them all) but so far so good, only feeding Bloom nutes now, so i Think they’re hopefully Ready to put on some Weight 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽

I went in scared that I would screw this up and waste money. I kept learning and fell kore and kore in love with it. Now I’m building a room and already growing 7 plants moving to 20 🙏🏼😝

Buds buds buds fattening. Light power up at 100% slowly:)

Day 1 - Soaking in water for 24 - 48 hrs. Once sank I will transplant. Come on terp treez please let this one be the winner 🤞💚 Day 2 - I'm Impressed the seed sank after 24 hrs this time around. Now decided to place in paper towel, in a bag in the cupboard. Will wait 24 hrs for tap root to emerge and to 2-3cm this time before transplant to final 3gsl fabric pot. Day 3- Tap root emerged about 1-2cm. I have transplanted to final 3gal fabric pot.😁🙌😅💚 I have used, 60% canna terra pro plus, 30%perlite and 10% canna terra potting mix. The potting mix I use only as a transplant medium within its final container, just to allow around the seed a better chance for roots to develop as I found just using terrapro plus they struggle to establish because of how rich it is. After planting I gave a light pH water only and covered with jug. I find this helps retain humidity on the little seedlings. Day 5 - seedling finally emerged 🙌 so happy to see that the 2nd out of 6 terp treez has actually germinated 🙌 woohoo. Light water pH balanced. Day 6- showing nice healthy growth, definitely in competition with the sssc auto I have going there both nearly identical growth rates 😋✌️💚 PH balanced water only still this week.

These plants are growing really strong despite the minor bug problem which I refuse to address...hopefully they just go away. I replaced the last seedling 🌱 with new seed as the bugs totaled the last plant.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 7 | Small Plant, Big Personality Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system and nutrient solution, allowing genetics to be the real variable. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. Cash Express Pheno A continues growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and once again she's proving that size has very little to do with beauty. She may be one of the smaller plants in the tent... But she's quickly becoming one of my favourites to photograph. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues progressing beautifully this week. The fresh white pistils are multiplying rapidly and every flowering site is beginning to stack with much more confidence. What started as tiny clusters only a short time ago are now clearly becoming proper bud sites. The stretch has slowed considerably compared to previous weeks, allowing the plant to focus more of her energy on flower production. She's no longer trying to become taller. She's focused on becoming prettier. Every day the structure becomes a little more defined, making it easier to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Small... But Absolutely Beautiful Cash Express Pheno A belongs to the smaller group of plants inside the tent. She's compact, elegant and has never tried to compete with the taller girls surrounding her. Instead, she's building an incredibly balanced structure with evenly spaced flowering sites and a canopy that's a pleasure to observe. Sometimes we naturally associate bigger plants with bigger expectations. This little lady reminds us that's not always the case. Her architecture is outstanding. Every branch seems perfectly positioned, every flower receives excellent exposure, and the entire plant has developed into a very symmetrical little bush. I'm genuinely excited to see where she goes from here. ──────────────────────────── 💡 A Little Help From Below One advantage of her compact stature is the way she benefits from the under-canopy lighting. Being slightly further away from the main overhead fixtures than some of the taller plants, the LumiFlora under-canopy lights help illuminate the lower flowering sites, ensuring those developing buds continue receiving quality light from beneath the canopy as well. It's one of the advantages of combining overhead lighting with under-canopy illumination. Instead of allowing the lower flowers to live in permanent shade, they receive additional energy exactly where it's needed. It will be very interesting to see how much this contributes to flower development as the weeks progress. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing every cultivar to focus entirely on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency continues being one of the biggest reasons the entire room is developing so evenly despite the huge genetic diversity. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the plants request it, keeping the root zone stable and eliminating the need for scheduled watering. This week's reservoir consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The plant continues responding beautifully to this feeding programme, maintaining healthy foliage while steadily increasing flower production across the entire canopy. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really capture why I enjoy this phenotype so much. The close-up images highlight beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils, while the wider shots reveal a plant that's incredibly balanced from top to bottom. She's not flashy. She's simply elegant. One of my favourite photographs this week shows just how evenly every branch has developed, creating a canopy that almost seems designed rather than grown. Sometimes the smallest plants become the most photogenic ones. And I think Cash Express Pheno A is quietly proving exactly that. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly exciting. Now that the stretch is slowing down, I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively while resin production gradually starts increasing. I'm especially curious to see how this compact structure responds as the buds gain weight. Will she produce short, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with longer spears than her structure currently suggests? Only time will answer that question. For now, I'll continue giving her exactly what she needs and simply enjoy watching her story unfold one week at a time. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that every plant deserves to tell its own story, regardless of whether it's the biggest, the tallest or the fastest in the room. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal new surprises every week. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful overhead lighting that drives this project from seed to harvest. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the excellent under-canopy lighting, helping ensure every flowering site has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. And of course, thank you to AutoPot for making irrigation effortless while allowing the plants themselves to decide exactly when they want to drink. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following this adventure. Your support makes this project even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers around the world. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno A continues proving that sometimes the smallest plants have the biggest personalities. 💚🚂🌱

The smells are becoming very strong in my house and truthfully I am still pretty pleased with trichome production although I definitely can tell the wish i had calmag 3 weeks earlier but better late then never about 3 weeks from harvest can't wait for this one been long road but a rewarding one.

Growing beautifully

Hey there. All photos and videos from flower day 27. Plants are developing pretty good. On flower day 26 (end of flower week 4) I started adding Green Sensation. See you next week.

Woche 4 Die Mimosa Fast entwickeln sich weiterhin sehr gut, die Blüten wachsen echt schnell. Ich hoffe nur das der geringe abstand zur Lampe sich auf Dauer nicht zu negativ auswirkt. Von den Entlauben haben sich die Mimosa fast echt schnell erholt. Den Dünger habe ich in dieser Woche auch noch mal leicht angepasst und habe die Dosis von B-52 und Big Bud bisschen erhöht.

Hmm

Just time to finish these guys with a flushing agent then we HARVEST!!

Very Happy plants, soaking up the rays. When you place your face near the buds you get an amazing sweet fruity aroma, the leaves smell like skunk and cheese. Each plant is getting 10 liters every 4 days. I water with 6.3ph tap water twice for every time I add nutrients. I use Alaska fish fertilizer when its been a few times since a nutrient feed but the plants are showing no deficiency's. They are Fed by a drip system which takes 16 hours to deliver the 10 liters to each plant, this works really well in the Fabric smart pots. I use metal racks to keep the plants off the ground then place a drip tray underneath each plant. When using the drip system very little run off occurs. I added a spider farmer sf-1000 to the room, it is full spectrum and ir, and is great for getting the corners of the room or the less dense areas of the canopy.
