Seit dieser Woche bekommen die Pflanzen nur noch Wasser zu trinken. In der Box herscht ein unglaublicher Geruch, kann die kaum noch auf machen. Es geht dem ende zu und ich finde die Mädels könne sich doch für den ersten Indoor run wirklich sehen lassen oder? *eigener Schulter klopfer*

Shame on me… habe den taupunkt am morgen deutlich unterschätzt. Täglich steigt die LF phasenweise bis auf 95%. Solar ist praktisch, Zelt darf aber nicht draußen stehen! Der grow hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, trotz einiger kleiner Fehler und Unachtsamkeiten meinerseits! Die Damen sind super und werden wieder in den Stock zurückkehren, konnte sie leider nicht voll bis zum Ende bringen ca 2 Wochen zu früh. Nächste mal weniger Pflanzen oder mehr entlauben und mehr umlauft dazu. Komme vom outdoor Growen und habe enorm viel Neues kennengelernt! Banana’s & painkiller XL sind noch im Spiel ohne jeglichen Schaden oder Betroffene stellen von Schimmel. 🐝

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de crecimiento de estas Papayton feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 16h de luz, el foco está al 50% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color, estaban muy bien enraizadas al realizarle el trasplante se notaba la abundancia radicular. Agradecer a Agrobeta por el kit Gold series que mandaron, siempre os portáis, unos maestros. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Left her more than 15 days drying that she lost a bit of her 10 day terpines... But still I could let her finally curing. Also i think I pushed the plant a bit too much at the end, I think she needed less light a bit more nutrients until the end. Fun plant to grow, interesting terpines exactly from a the mix of sweet critical taste with citrus kinda skunky side. I'm still more of a fan of RQS Critical auto, but both are very good, easy and fun plants to grow. Effects quite uplifting, creative and trippy, but mild as it should for a 15%. THC plant.

So week two finished and I think she is looking well, this is my first ever grow so anyone sees anything I'm doing wrong do let me know as im here to learn, my next thing im pondering for this week is she ready to be tied down (LST)? She is standing around 5.5 Inches and has leaves and shoots coming off everywhere.. lets see what week 3 brings hopefully she carries on as she has been doing.

I thought the ladies would have another 2-3 weeks left in veg, but started to notice pistils forming within the last couple of days. So flower will most likely start to begin within the next week, I’m guessing I may see a couple oz per plant come harvest day. Not bad for first time grow & using autos, from what I’ve heard a lot of people do not recommend learning with autos due to how quickly their state can change depending on what you do with them. There are some things I wish now I would have done a bit different within the last couple of weeks, I can’t help but wonder how much bigger they’d be if I did not do any defoliation at all. But I have been combating flies bad and made the call to defoliate mainly for that reason. Started to cut back on veg foods and introduce flower foods and sugars to their diet. Humidity levels still at a steady decrease, aiming to have humidity down in the 30s come flower time. Will be going on vacation for a week soon, so fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong. Will be having a good friend of mine come by every couple of days to FaceTime me and make sure everything is handled as well as possible when the time comes.

This week's been exciting, they've grown upward a few inches and started to bush out. I did do a mild defoliation taking off a few lower leaves and tucked some of the top bigger fan leaves. I started adding co2 this week and they seem to really be enjoying the added amount. All in all Happy Growing.

Ola 🙂... the two sisters grow up very well ... first time I try them.. the seeds were given to me by the boy from the grow shop, after buy some Barney's seeds .. With them, under the 205 BD LED light, there is also the sister, who can actually find in the diary SUPER SOIL LED (if you want to see the differences) 😉... 5th week started by giving him a nice lunch based on banana macerate (10 days to macerate), about 0.5 in 1.5l h2o .. pH I never check it when I am using a ready-made soil .. the water I use is quite good and does not contain chlorine (fundamental in organic) .. it has a pH always around 6.5 / 7.5 and is ok ... afterwards I only gave h2o to drink for once, again without letting it come out of the bottom of the vase .. two days after treacle-based sweet like the past week .. this time I gave 1 teaspoon apiece (they will be about 5ml, I think, but that's okay) in 1.5l h2o ... time after still water .. and today, Friday 27th, I finely chopped a bit of barley malt and I made a top dressing, wetting with water in mix with 3ml topmax for 3l h2o, to increase the malt action .. I see just one or two thrips every now and then, but I'm under control .. I have not used anything to drive them out .. only the fan always on and the humidity left slightly higher ... They start to smell good and very sticky too .. I don't know how to describe the aroma at the moment .. sweet .. but complex .. we'll see .. hi, thanks for the time 🙏 and tell me if you like it ... See you next week😉✌️

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 9 | She May Not Be the Greenest… But She's Bulking Beautifully Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this week, Chem Brûlée Pheno B has a slightly different story to tell. She's not the greenest girl in the room. She's not carrying that deep, lush green that I absolutely love seeing on a flowering plant. But... she's still growing. She's still building. She's still producing beautiful flowers. And she's still showing us exactly why growing multiple phenotypes together is so fascinating. Sometimes a plant doesn't give you the picture you expected. Sometimes she gives you a question. And the best thing we can do is listen. 🌿 A Quick Look Back Chem Brûlée Pheno B has always been one of the more distinctive expressions of this genetic line. Compared with her sister, Pheno A, she's taller, more elongated and more open. She has developed a very different architecture, with flowering sites distributed along those longer branches rather than creating the more compact structure we've seen from Pheno A. Last week, she received some selective defoliation to open the canopy and give the developing flowers a little more room. And I'm happy to say: she handled it well. There was no dramatic reaction. No major setback. She simply continued doing what she does. Growing. Flowering. And now... bulking. 🌸 🍃 Not the Greenest Girl in the Room Let's talk about the obvious thing first. Her foliage isn't showing the deep, rich green that I personally like to see. It's a little lighter. And when you're looking at twelve different genetics growing under essentially the same conditions, those differences become very easy to notice. Especially when one plant is standing right beside another phenotype that may be carrying a completely different shade of green. But here's the important part: I'm not going to invent a problem just because I don't love the colour. She's still growing. She's still producing flowers. She's still developing. She's still responding to the environment. And that's why we're observing rather than immediately changing everything around her. Could this phenotype simply have a different nutritional demand? Absolutely. Could genetics be contributing to the way she presents? Of course. Could other environmental factors play a role? Potentially. But the whole-plant picture matters much more than one characteristic. And right now, her whole-plant picture says: "I'm still working." So we're listening. Twelve Genetics Don't Get Twelve Different Worlds This is one of the things I really want to emphasize in this project. We're running a lot of plants. Twelve different genetic stories. More than twenty plants in total. And they're sharing the same room, the same general environmental conditions, the same irrigation philosophy and the same reservoir. That means we can't look at every single plant and say: "Okay, you want something different? Let's completely redesign the grow just for you." That's not the experiment. The whole point is consistency. We provide the same foundation... and then we watch how the genetics respond. Some plants are more demanding. Some are more relaxed. Some stay dark green. Some are naturally lighter. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some drink more. Some drink less. And some... like Chem Brûlée Pheno B... simply keep telling us: "I'm going to do this my way." 😂 And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. 🌸 But Look at Those Flowers... Because while the foliage may not be giving me the lush green I'm looking for... the flowers are giving me plenty to smile about. She's bulking. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly substantial, and those long branches are now carrying some beautiful flower structures. The pistils remain prominent, while the buds are gaining volume and definition. This is one of those stages where you can really see the plant transitioning from: "I'm flowering." to: "I'm building flowers." And that difference is huge. We're no longer just watching flowering sites appear. We're watching them develop. We're watching them gain substance. We're watching the plant put her energy behind the flowers that she's already created. And Pheno B is doing exactly that. ❄️ The Frost Is Coming Along The resin development is also becoming increasingly noticeable. When you get close with the camera, the flowers start revealing another layer of the story. The sugar leaves are becoming increasingly frosty, and the developing flowers are starting to take on that beautiful sparkling appearance that makes macro photography so addictive. From a distance, you see: a flowering plant. From close up, you see: an entire little universe. That's something I never get tired of. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B is giving us some beautiful subjects to photograph this week. ✂️ How Did She Handle the Defoliation? Pretty well. And that's worth documenting. Last week, we gave her a selective cleanup. Nothing extreme. We removed foliage where it made sense, particularly where leaves were contributing to unnecessary shading or crowding. The objective wasn't to strip her. It was simply to open the architecture she'd already created. And now, looking at her this week, I like the result. The structure is easier to see. The flowers are easier to appreciate. And she's continued developing without missing a beat. That's a good reminder that intervention should always have a reason behind it. We're not defoliating because: "It's Tuesday and apparently Tuesday is defoliation day." 😂 We're doing it when the plant and the canopy give us a reason. 🌿 Her Architecture Is Doing the Work One of the things I really like about Pheno B is her naturally open structure. She's around 130 cm, making her taller than her Chem Brûlée sister, but she's not just tall for the sake of being tall. She's created a very different architecture. Longer branches. More vertical growth. Flowering sites distributed through that structure. And now, as those flowers bulk up, you can really start appreciating what she built earlier in the run. The plant has already made her decisions. Now she's investing in them. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing her to look like Pheno A. They're sisters. They're not twins. 👃 The Story Is Still Developing The aromatic profile is also something I'm continuing to watch. At this stage, I don't want to pretend that the final terpene expression has arrived. We're still watching the flowers mature. But that's part of the fun. With phenotypes growing beside each other under the same conditions, these subtle differences can become incredibly interesting as flowering progresses. The structure is different. The foliage expression is different. The flowering architecture is different. And eventually, the aroma may give us another piece of the puzzle. So for now... I'm simply taking notes. Watching. Photographing. And waiting. ⚗️ Feeding – Consistency Is Part of the Experiment The feeding strategy remains consistent across the room. We're continuing with: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L With Lemon Kick / pH Plus used as required. The current readings are approximately: ⚗️ pH – 6.0 ⚡ EC – 2.0 mS/cm And this is where the philosophy of the 8×8 Adventure really matters. Pheno B may be one of the girls that appears to demand more. But we're not going to create a completely separate feeding world for her while running a shared system with the rest of the room. Instead, we're watching how she adapts. We're looking at the plant. We're looking at the flowers. We're looking at the new growth. And we're looking at the progression over time. Because one photograph tells you what the plant looks like today. A diary tells you how she got there. 🌡️ The Environment The room continues running with remarkably consistent conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature – 29°C 🌙 Night temperature – 25°C 💧 Relative humidity – 60% 🌱 Substrate temperature – 26°C 💦 Solution temperature – 25°C ⚗️ pH – approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂ – 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule – 12/12 ? Pot size – 15 L 💧 Watering – approximately 1.3 L/plant/24h And once again, this consistency is important. The environment isn't changing dramatically from plant to plant. So when we see differences... the genetics become increasingly interesting. That's the experiment. 💡 Same Light. Different Plant. The lighting setup continues providing strong overhead illumination, with additional light reaching the inner and lower portions of the canopy. And this phenotype's more open structure works nicely with that arrangement. She's got flowers distributed throughout the plant rather than packed into one dense wall. The selective cleanup has also made some of those structures easier to see. And when you look at the photographs... there's a lot happening. She's not finished. She's not even close. But she's definitely building. 📸 Behind the Lens This week was another reminder of why I love photographing this project. When I look at Pheno B with my eyes, the first thing I notice is the lighter foliage. But when I put the camera close to the flowers... that's not what I see anymore. I see structure. I see pistils. I see developing resin. I see flowers getting bigger. I see branches carrying more weight. And I see a phenotype becoming increasingly recognizable. That's one of the reasons I try not to judge a plant from one characteristic. Step back... look at the whole plant. Then get close... and look at the flowers. Sometimes the story changes completely. 🌿 She's Adapting And that's probably my favourite part of this week's update. She's adapting. She's not necessarily giving us the exact expression I would choose. She's not the deepest green. She's one of the more demanding plants in the room. But she's adapting to the environment we've created. And she's continuing to grow. That matters. Because the purpose of this project isn't to prove that every phenotype behaves identically. It's almost the opposite. We're giving them the same stage... and watching how differently they perform on it. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is showing us: "This is how I play the game." And I'm listening. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what am I expecting from her next? More bulking. More flower definition. More resin. And hopefully an increasingly obvious expression of what this phenotype is capable of. I'm also going to continue watching the foliage carefully. Not panicking. Not ignoring it. Just watching. If the plant continues developing flowers beautifully while maintaining functional foliage and healthy growth, that's valuable information. If other signs begin appearing alongside the colour change, then we'll have another conversation. For now... the flowers are telling a very positive story. And I'm going to let her keep writing it. 🍮 Different Isn't Bad This is something I've learned over and over again throughout this adventure. When you grow one plant by itself, you can easily assume that whatever you see is simply the plant. But when you grow twelve genetics together? Suddenly you have references everywhere. One plant is dark green. Another is lighter. One stretches. Another stays compact. One produces enormous leaves. Another produces completely different foliage. One drinks aggressively. Another is more conservative. And then you have Chem Brûlée Pheno B. She's somewhere in there saying: "I'm going to make beautiful flowers while making you think about my foliage." 😂 And honestly... fair enough. That's what phenotype hunting is about. 🌱 She's Not Perfect. She's Interesting. And maybe that's the best way to describe her this week. She's not perfect. Her green isn't the lush colour I personally love. She's demanding. She's different. But she's also beautiful. She's adapting. She's continuing to grow. She's bulking. She's producing flowers. She's building frost. And she's telling us a story that is completely her own. I wouldn't want to erase that. Because if every plant behaved exactly the same... there wouldn't be much of a phenotype hunt, would there? 💚 Let Her Shine So this week, I'm not going to compare Chem Brûlée Pheno B to the greenest girl in the room. I'm not going to compare her to her sister and ask why she isn't built the same. I'm going to look at her. At approximately 130 cm... with her elongated structure... her developing flowers... her increasing frost... her lighter foliage... and her unmistakable personality... she's doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. The flowers are getting bigger. The structure is becoming more impressive. The resin is building. And the plant is still moving forward. That's enough for me. Sometimes the most interesting plants aren't the ones that give you exactly what you expected. They're the ones that make you stop... look... and say: "Okay, girl. Show me what you've got." 🍮🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 This project keeps teaching me something new every single week. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us a place to document these journeys, compare experiences and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover how differently these phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the room. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for powering this jungle from above. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the lower and inner areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us maintain consistency behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person who stops to look at these plants and wonder what happens next. You're part of the adventure. And this week, Chem Brûlée Pheno B is reminding us of something I think is incredibly important: A plant doesn't have to be perfect to be fascinating. She may not be showing me the lushest green. She may be one of the more demanding girls in the room. But she's adapting. She's growing. She's bulking. She's building beautiful flowers. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. So let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's see where she takes us. Because the story isn't finished yet. Not even close. 🍮🌸❄️ Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week as Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues writing her own chapter in the 8×8 Adventure. 🚂🍮🌿

THE REAL STORY ON LIGHTING FOR CANNABIS AND HOW IT MANDATES EVERYTHING ELSE.... MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO FOR KNOWING THE FACTS https://youtu.be/ID9rE5JewVg Today finishes the 5th week of 12/12 and 3 weeks of actual flower. Girls are looking real good. Gone on to feed, feed, water for the next week or 2. Fed the girls today at 800 ppm 1.6 ec the ph was 6.1 going in and coming out was 6.1 The runoff ec was 700 ppm 1.4 ec. Buds are still putting on lenght but their going to start swelling good soon. Their starting now. Length should slow now and bud swelling should take over. Going into the room actually burns your eyes from the dankness.... Can't wait. June 30th Girls are changing to put on bulk and weight now. Grabbed a lower bud for density check. Buds are pretty sticky and very hard. Going to be some good weight coming in the next 3 weeks. Wife came into visit the girls last night and went back out 2 minutes later saying her eyes were burning. Said, welcome to my world... July 1st Watering day for the girls. Ph 6.2 in and 6.1 coming out. Last feed was 800 ppm, 1.6 ec, Runoff ec after watering was 500 ppm, 1.0 ec These girls are asking for more food please and I will respond with 900 ppm, 1.8 ec next feed.. after the week of 1.8ec I will start lowering feed for the ripening process. Girls are putting on weight before my eyes now. Thinking my smallest girl will bring at least 5 oz dried. Branches are heavy already.
