La planta se empezó a estirar y a mostrar sus primeros pistilos y ya empieza a marcar esas puntas que irán florando

Big girls. Usually don’t let them get this big. They are starting to yellow a bit on the bottom. Not enough water me thinks

Only one picture this week! Nothing much to say. I reorganised the compost.

hello to all, friends of the weed. my patience has reached its limit with this summer! after raising this beautiful little girl very sparingly .... I found out I was attacked by red spiders! fuck fuck fuck fuck.... just as things spun as smoothly as oil! who among you can recommend the right remedy to send away these shits of animals??? thanks early

I continue with the same setting. I have 18/6 nice grow and flowering. Plants are healthy. This week I just started with Green sensation additive.

Since the pot has a volume of 30l it takes a lot of time to create a big canopy. The plant also needs alot of time to fill up the container with roots. No extra nutrition in this week.

This is towards the end of last week. The BB crosses are doing excellent. They have all gone through some extreme temps with intense temp and RH fluctuations. I’ve concluded that the plants 1 week behind experienced too much heat on this one day when some things came up and I wasn’t around to get them out of the hot sun in time, and they were stunted by excessive heat over 90F. The others didn’t show much signs of stress at all. I’m not giving up on the little ones, but I am giving them a large amount of grace and understanding. They can just continue to grow and do their best. Maybe they will come back into full speed in a week or so. Maybe not. At least I will grow them out to learn what happens. From now on I will be extra careful with all stimuli my seedlings are receiving. Showing sone other plants of same age, some of which are photoperiods that began flowering about a month and a half early, with 15 hours of daylight! Why? My first guess is some form of extreme rodelization. I did notice on both A-Trains that they each had a node with two pollen sacks developing as well as the burst of female bracts. So I nicked off the pollen sacks right away, and I’ve been putting them under a light for the nights to hopefully reveg them. Either way, a fun anecdote for some new knowledge and experience! I’m sure they would bud out Fat! Seeing how much they did in 2-3 days! But maybe there’s other elements at play.

Going well, plant one continues to outstrip plant two significantly, but it's not as if plant 2 is weaker, if anything is has a better colour of green, I give it a little food, cal mag, and a small bit of the 3 main fox farms, later in the week Topped the biggest plant banner 1, back right corner

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

First grow using Fast Buds seeds, really looking forward to seeing this one for myself

Daily feeding, Heavy flushing this week to balance PH and EC. Recalibrated PH and EC Meters.(Found PH meter of by .3 lower than meter showing, and EC was .3 Higher than what meter was reading.) Working the smaller side of the tent to the scrog net and planning to flip to flower in the next 2-4 Days about 2 weeks behind schedule due to Slower growth on the left side of the tent. Flip at end of week.

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A 🔥 The Wild Girl Is Rushing Toward The Finish Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our Chem Brûlée Pheno A. But honestly... I think we're going to have to stop calling her just "Chem Brûlée." Because this girl has become a little beast. 😂🔥🍮 She's wild. She's moving fast. She's developing quickly. She's changing visibly. And now... she's starting to look like a plant that's very seriously thinking about the final chapter. The flowers are getting bigger. The main cola is absolutely huge. The hairs are changing. The leaves are beginning to fade. And the entire plant is giving us that unmistakable feeling: "Okay... we're getting close now." 😂💚 This girl isn't hanging around. She's moving. Fast. And I absolutely love watching it. So this week, we're going to give this beast the spotlight she deserves. Let's make her shine. 🍮❄️🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔥 The Beast Is Awake Let's start with the obvious. This girl is moving. And she's moving fast. Last week we were already talking about her entering the final chapter. This week? She's making that chapter much easier to see. The plant is changing. The flowers are becoming increasingly mature. The pistils are changing colour. The foliage is beginning to fade. And the overall structure is starting to look like she's preparing herself for the final stretch. She's not slowing down. She's not sitting there waiting for us. She's doing what she does. Growing. Building. Maturing. And apparently... trying to finish the story before some of her neighbours even get to the interesting part. 😂🍮🔥 Fair enough, girl. We're watching. ──────────────────────── 🌸 That Main Cola... WOW Okay. We have to talk about this. Because the main cola on this girl is HUGE. 😂🔥🌸 Seriously. It's one of those flowers where you look at the plant and immediately your eyes go straight toward it. It's massive. It's substantial. It's beautifully developed. And now that the plant is starting to mature around it, that main cola becomes even more impressive. The structure is there. The density is there. The flower is there. And she's still hanging in there beautifully. No drama. No complaints. Just one enormous Chem Brûlée flower sitting there saying: "Yeah... I built this." 😂🍮💚 And honestly? She has every right to be proud of it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 She's Starting To Fade Another big change this week is the foliage. She's starting to fade. And in the context of everything else we're seeing, that makes perfect sense. The plant is moving further into maturity. The flowers are developing. The pistils are changing. The overall appearance is shifting. And now we're beginning to see the leaves changing along with the rest of the plant. This is one of those moments where you really appreciate having weekly photographs. Because the transition isn't always dramatic from one day to the next. But compare the plant with where she was a few weeks ago... and suddenly you realize: "Oh damn. She's really moving." 😂💚 The beautiful green we were looking at earlier is now gradually giving way to the colours of a plant approaching the end of her journey. And I'm enjoying watching every part of it. ──────────────────────── ? The Hairs Are Changing And the pistils are joining the conversation. We're seeing more and more colour coming through those beautiful flowers. The fresh white hairs from earlier stages are gradually being replaced by more mature-looking tones. Cream. Yellow. Orange. Brown. And increasingly curled-in pistils. ?🌸 Again, we're not using pistil colour alone to decide anything. The plant is the complete picture. But when you combine those changing hairs with: 🌸 Bigger flowers ❄️ Increasing resin 🌿 Fading foliage 🔥 Mature-looking structures 🍮 Overall progression ...the message becomes pretty clear. She's moving toward the finish. And she's doing it quickly. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Still There Of course... we can't talk about Chem Brûlée without talking about the frost. 😂❄️ Because even while the plant is changing and beginning to fade, the flowers are still looking beautiful under the camera. That resin continues to give her that sparkling character. Move closer... and you see it. The sugar leaves. The flower surfaces. The little details. The texture. The resin. All those tiny details that disappear when you're standing across the room. And this is why I love taking her into the studio. The full plant tells us the story. The close-ups tell us the details. And together... they show us exactly how far this girl has come. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Same Girl — Completely Herself One thing I really appreciate about Chem Brûlée Pheno A is that she never needed to become the biggest or most spectacular plant in the room to be interesting. She has simply been herself. And now we're seeing exactly what that means. She's wild. She's fast. She's got a huge main cola. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's changing colour. She's fading. She's getting closer. And she's doing all of it in her own way. That's what phenotype hunting is about. We're not asking: "Can we make every plant look the same?" We're asking: "What does THIS plant do?" And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has answered that question very clearly. 😂🍮🔥 She does whatever the hell she wants. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time... welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different expressions. That's the magic. Because look at Chem Brûlée Pheno A. She's moving fast. She's fading. She's changing her pistils. She's carrying a huge main cola. And she's approaching the final stage. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the room, another phenotype may be doing something completely different. Same room. Same photons. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different personality. Different timeline. And that's exactly what we came here to discover. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Artificial Sun The lighting setup remains exactly the same across the room. Our Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the artificial sun. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. And we're still controlling the output rather than simply running everything flat out. 🔌 Approximately 59% from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy The intensity naturally changes throughout the canopy depending on plant height and position. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's making damn good use of those photons. 😂💡🔥 She's taking that light and turning it into flowers. A lot of flowers. And one hell of a main cola. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Same Photons — Different Interpretation This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We give them the same opportunity. The plants decide what to do with it. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build huge branches. Some build dense flowers. Some take their time. Some move incredibly fast. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's basically saying: "Thank you for the photons. I'll turn them into a monster cola." 😂🍮🔥 And honestly... I'm not complaining. A huge thank you once again to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. Having more lighting capability while being able to control the actual output has been a fascinating part of watching these different phenotypes develop. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Feeding — But We May Be Near The End The nutritional program remains consistent with the rest of the room for now. Current recipe: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength: ⚡ EC ~2.05 mS/cm But... I think we're getting very close to making another decision. Because this girl is moving quickly. She's fading. She's changing. She's showing increasingly mature flowers. And we're approaching the point where we may stop the feeding program for her very soon. Not today. Not just because the calendar says so. But because we're watching the plant. And the plant is giving us information. She's telling us: "I'm getting close." 😂🍮🌸 So we're listening. ──────────────────────── 🧠 The Plant Gets The Final Vote This is something I've repeated throughout this entire adventure. And it becomes even more important now. The calendar says Week 13. The plant says: "Look at me." 😂 So we look. We look at the flowers. We look at the pistils. We look at the foliage. We look at the resin. We look at the overall structure. And then we decide what comes next. I'm not interested in forcing a plant into a schedule just because a number on the calendar says we should. She's alive. She's changing. She's communicating. And right now... she's communicating very loudly. 😂🔥🍮 "I'm getting close." Message received. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stable Room — Stable Plants And just like the rest of the reports this week... we're keeping the room stable. No unnecessary changes. No dramatic interventions. No sudden environmental swings. The ecosystem is working. The plants are responding. And Chem Brûlée is moving beautifully. So we continue. Observe. Maintain. Document. Enjoy. And adjust when the plant actually tells us it's time. At this stage, there's no reason to create work just for the sake of doing something. She's already doing enough work herself. 😂🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same general conditions for this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same lighting. Same feeding. Different phenotype. And this phenotype is moving fast. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Big Flowers — Bigger Personality There's something really satisfying about watching this girl now. Earlier in the cycle, we were watching her build. Now we're watching what she built mature. The flowers are substantial. The structure is established. The main cola is huge. The pistils are changing. The leaves are beginning to fade. And the resin is still shining. This is where the whole plant starts coming together. All those weeks of: 🌱 Growth 💡 Photons 💧 Irrigation 🌸 Flower development 🌿 Leaf production ❄️ Resin development ...are now becoming visible in the final structure. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has built herself something pretty impressive. ──────────────────────── 🔥 The Wild Girl Is Entering The Final Stretch I think "wild girl" is probably the best way to describe her now. 😂🔥🍮 She's not slowing down. She's changing quickly. She's showing maturity. She's fading. She's carrying that huge main cola. And she's doing all of it with that same individuality we've been following since the beginning. I don't know exactly how much longer she has. And I'm not going to pretend I do. But I can say this: She's getting close enough that we're starting to think seriously about the final feeding decisions. And that's exciting. Because after all these weeks... we're getting close to seeing the final version of Chem Brûlée Pheno A. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Studio Treatment And honestly... this girl deserves photographs. 😂📸🍮 Because when a plant reaches this stage, you start noticing things that weren't visible earlier. The flower structure. The density. The changing pistils. The fading leaves. The resin. The size of that main cola. And the contrast between the remaining green foliage and the parts that are beginning to change colour. This is exactly why I love documenting the plants week after week. The photographs aren't just decoration. They're the timeline. They're the evidence. They're the memory of the journey. And Chem Brûlée has given us one hell of a timeline. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Room — Different Finish Lines We're getting deeper into one of the most fascinating parts of the experiment now. Because the girls are not finishing together. Some are further ahead. Some are behind. Some are moving quickly. Some are taking their time. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's clearly one of the girls moving quickly toward the final stage. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting. Same nutritional philosophy. And yet... her own timeline. That's genetics. That's phenotype expression. And that's exactly why we documented twelve separate diaries. If we had only one plant, we'd have one story. With twelve? We get twelve. And this girl has a particularly wild one. 😂🍮🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌿 We're Not Going To Force The Finish Even though we're getting close, I'm still not interested in forcing anything. No artificial deadline. No: "Week 13 means we must do X." No. We're going to watch. We're going to observe. And if she continues telling us she's entering the final stage... we'll respond. The possible reduction or stopping of feeding is coming very soon. But for now? Everything remains stable. Let her keep doing her thing. She's clearly capable of telling us when she's ready. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead Now I'm genuinely excited about the next chapter. Because we're getting close. The leaves are fading. The hairs are changing. The flowers are becoming denser and more mature. The main cola is huge. And the plant is moving fast. So the next few updates could become very interesting. How much further will those flowers develop? How much more will the foliage change? How will the resin develop? When will we finally say: "Okay, girl. That's enough. You're ready." I don't know yet. And I don't want to guess. Let's let her tell us. Because she's been pretty loud lately. 😂🍮🔥 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — LET THE BEAST SHINE Week 13. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has officially entered beast mode. 😂🔥🍮 She's wild. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. She's changing. She's fading. She's maturing. And she's carrying one absolutely massive main cola. The hairs are changing. The flowers are becoming denser. The plant is clearly entering the final stage. And honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. She's not the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to be. She doesn't need to be. Because what she's built is impressive enough. A medium-sized plant with some serious flowers. A huge main cola. Beautiful secondary flowers. Plenty of resin. Changing pistils. And now those beautiful signs of maturity beginning to appear throughout the plant. So... let's make her shine. Let's give this wild girl the spotlight. Let's appreciate everything she's built. Let's appreciate the colours. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate that monster main cola. Let's appreciate the frost. And let's enjoy the fact that after thirteen weeks... we're finally getting close enough to see where this story is heading. 🍮❄️🌸🔥💚 For now... we keep the room stable. We keep watching. We keep documenting. And very soon, we may stop feeding her and allow the final chapter to unfold. But not yet. For now... she's still working. And she's doing one hell of a job. Keep shining, Chem Brûlée Pheno A. Keep doing your wild thing. We're watching. 🔥🍮🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brûlée genetics and follow this individual phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and providing the tools behind this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another dimension of light deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something new. A different structure. A different rhythm. A different phenotype. A different finish. And now we're entering one of the most exciting parts of the entire experiment: Watching these girls approach the end in completely different ways. Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's doing it like a beast. 😂🔥🍮 Fast. Wild. Frosty. Dense. And carrying one hell of a main cola. She's fading. She's changing her hairs. She's moving toward the final stage. And soon enough... we'll see exactly what all these weeks of photons, nutrition, environment, patience and genetics have created. Until then... we keep watching. We keep learning. We keep documenting. And we let the plant write the final pages. Keep shining, wild girl. You've earned the spotlight. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🍮❄️🔥

2nd week of the mimosas and they are going quite good, im not expecting massive buds considering that we doing a SOG under this 150w marshydro TS1000, excited to see the outcome and to compare the results with previous grows 😁 at the moment i must say that its going into the right direction

Last lap ! This is the biggest plant a grew, def

Gary Payton smell earthy pine on the nose. Very smooth on the exhale . Smoking a blunt and feeling good outside today 6/20/24. On my way to get tattoo so yeah I need to be high as a kite right now . Good looking MSNL I’m a return buyer.

Thats the last living contest. They did get cut down today. Im gonna Post harvest results in about 2

Mandarin XL auto is starting to bulk. She is in need of some selective defoliation which I will do hopefully soon when there is more time to work with her. She is starting to produce some trichromes as well. Everything is going well. 🤞🏻for some tasty buds when done. Thank you Medic Grow, Ganja Farmer, and Gen1:11 nutrition. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Week 16 Everybody is on Flower! End of August: daylight 13h20: 7h20/20h40. Day temperature max: 26°C - Night temperature : 17°C Sunny weather - 2/3 rainy days in 2 weeks Enriched the soil with seaweed powder and bat guano. Continue to add flowering nutrients: Grower Master I added some Calmag one time. Watering 2L/plant every 3 days (2 days would be better) With humidity growing and the relatives hot temperatures: the predators are attacking plants. Everything appears so fast: Aphids, caterpillars, leaf miner flies. Did a general defoliation before spray my mixture Garlic + laurel (12cl Garlic juice + 5cl laurel infusion + 1L distilled water: beware PH!!). I sprinkled diatomaceous earth on top of soil to protect and minimize the infestation. Brake Pad Breath: still deep green and bushy. Flowering since 4 weeks. The most advanced, pretty good flowers with long pistils are growing. Spared until now: the plant is victim of Aphids, miner leaf flies and caterpillars in a « reasonable way »….try to eradicate the problem without shocking the plant at this stage. Flash Back#2: around 2 weeks flowering, stretched a few centimeters more, well developed plants with lot of blooming sites. Relatively spared by pests, just some aphids. GMO X Zombie Kush: some difficulties to recover….just engaged the flowering process, not to bad if she resist to the second pest’s wave. Royal Moby: uncertain destiny….recovering good, sativa style: 155cm, just starting the flowering stage…super late! Harvested a pretty auto flower: White Russian by Serious Seeds. Well developed plant, a little bit long to be ready but resinous and meaty buds.
