what a resin monster! such beautiful plants! one of the 2 phenos had straight peanutbutter flavor!

🌱 8×8 Adventure – Chem Brûlée (Plant B) | Week 4 A Different Sister, A Different Strategy Welcome back to another chapter of my 8×8 Adventure, a project dedicated to exploring how different genetics—and even different phenotypes from the same cultivar—express themselves when grown under identical conditions. Each plant receives the same environment, nutrition, lighting, and care, allowing their natural characteristics to shine without outside variables influencing the results. Today’s update focuses on Chem Brûlée – Plant B, and she’s already proving that even sisters can choose very different paths. While her sibling has been building a strong upright structure, this beautiful lady has embraced training remarkably well, opening herself into a wider, flatter canopy that promises excellent light distribution for the weeks ahead. Watching these individual personalities emerge is exactly why I love phenotype hunting. ⸻ 🌿 Life Inside the 8×8 Garden The entire room continues thriving under stable environmental conditions. Current room parameters: 🌡️ Temperature: 33.3°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% ⚡ Nutrient Solution EC: 1.36 mS/cm pH: 6.12 💦 Reservoir Temperature: 25.7°C Although temperatures remain on the warm side, constant air circulation keeps fresh air moving throughout the canopy, helping every cultivar continue vigorous growth while maintaining healthy transpiration. It’s always fascinating seeing twelve different cultivars respond to exactly the same environment, each revealing its own unique blueprint. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Chem Brûlée continues receiving the same nutrition as the rest of the 8×8 project. This week’s feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Vita Race (foliar application) Everything appears perfectly balanced. Healthy green foliage, steady development, and vigorous new shoots suggest she’s making excellent use of every feeding. ⸻ 🌿 Growth & Development This phenotype has really begun showing her own identity. Instead of pushing strongly upward, she’s naturally spreading her energy across multiple growing tips, creating a much broader plant than her sister at the same stage. The most striking feature remains those gorgeous oversized fan leaves. They’re broad, healthy, beautifully coloured, and already acting like efficient solar panels, capturing every available photon while fueling explosive vegetative growth. The newest growth emerges vibrant lime green before gradually darkening as the leaves mature, a classic sign of healthy development. Every node appears active, with numerous secondary shoots beginning to accelerate now that the canopy has opened. She’s becoming increasingly bushy without ever looking crowded. The structure feels balanced, vigorous and full of potential. ⸻ ✂️ Low Stress Training This week the focus has been gentle Low Stress Training (LST). Rather than removing the main growing tip, the stem has been carefully bent and secured to encourage the plant to redistribute its growth hormones naturally. By lowering the dominant shoot, the plant begins directing energy into multiple side branches instead of concentrating everything into one central cola. The results are already becoming visible. Several new tops are racing upward together, creating a much flatter canopy that should make far better use of the available light during flowering. LST remains one of my favourite training techniques because it shapes the plant without slowing her down. Minimal stress. Maximum opportunity. Watching these secondary branches wake up over the coming weeks should be incredibly rewarding. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead Chem Brûlée Plant B is setting herself up beautifully for the next stage of development. As the secondary branches continue catching up, the canopy should become increasingly even, giving every future flowering site access to strong light. The plan remains simple: Continue guiding the branches gently through LST. Allow the canopy to expand naturally. Maintain environmental stability. Then simply let the genetics do what they do best. Every day she’s becoming wider, fuller, and more balanced. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts One of the greatest lessons this project continues teaching is that no two plants—even sisters—tell exactly the same story. Chem Brûlée Plant B has embraced training with incredible enthusiasm. Her open structure… Those beautiful oversized fan leaves… The explosion of new growing tips… Everything points toward a plant that’s preparing to fill her space with an abundance of healthy flowering sites. She’s elegant. She’s vigorous. And she’s making every adjustment look effortless. I can’t wait to see how this beautifully trained structure develops once flowering truly begins. ⸻ A huge thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps this entire garden thriving, Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics and equipment making this project possible, and of course to the amazing GrowDiaries community for following every step of this journey. Growers love and thank you all for the your encouragement, advice and support that continue making this adventure even more enjoyable. See you all in the next update, where Chem Brûlée Plant B will continue writing her own unique story inside the 8×8 Adventure. 🌱💚

Runtz Automatic - Zamnesia Day 56 - Watered with 2L of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3 - for reference, I usually water when the moisture content of the soil reaches around 8-10%, then I water until either I see a good amount of runoff, or the moisture content reaches around 30%, then I let it settle to around 25%. This week, she has mainly been focusing on bulking her flower, so other than removing a couple of fan leaves to allow light to reach bud sites, I haven't done much with her; really, other than a small amount of training and defoliation, as well as a little bit of lollipoping on the lower stems, its pretty much all I've had to do with her - she has been really easy to grow!! Looking at her today, I would say shes about 10-15 days away from harvest, max! Notes: - she has entered the last couple week of her lifecycle, so I've moved her into the center of the tent, to give her the best light concentration. - she was showing signs of Calcium deficiency, so I've upped her CalMag from 0.5 to 1 ml/L - her internodal spacing is amazing, I can see each individual bud site grow, which has been really cool. - from a structural perspective, shes the best looking plant I've ever grown! If she smokes well, I will grow this strain again. - I will begin flushing her from the end of this week, to prepare her for harvest.

A Excited Welcome 🏆 I have just added this extra week in my diary as I have so many great photos of my beautiful Watermelon Auto girl from RQS which I must recommend growing as she is a stunner with large buds that smell delicious.😊 This girl is now defently finished and I'm getting ready to chop her down she has gone past and I would recommend giving her a good 10-12 weeks as it's not until late that all her colours and smell comes out. I'm now not watering her for a couple of days then into the dark for another couple of days fortunately she hasn't many leaves to trim she's all bud. I'm sad she's done but excited to smoke. Thanks for dropping by Please Like

Nov. 13 - Week 6 begins. Nov. 17 - It continues to do better than I had thought it would, but this morning it was wilting 😬 I can't keep letting that happen.

Hello Diary. It has completed its sixth week of flowering, a total of 9 weeks since Watermelon sprouted. As can be seen in the photos, most of the leaves have turned yellow and do not look pretty. The consequences are probably over-feeding at some point, plus, the harvest is approaching and the leaves get a more yellowish color. As for the flowers, they look beautiful, have taken on a purple color and are covered with trichomes. The smell is intense. I would like to mention that over-feeding reflected a lot on Watermelon which was not the case with her roommates Purple Punch with whom she shares “Farm”. So I advise future growers to be more careful with adding nutrients. Watering is every three days, I regulate or lower the p.H of water to values ​​between 6.1 and 6.5. And I do that with every preparation of water for irrigation. I stopped adding any additives the previous week so they get clean water. Let’s take a look at the review of the week. 26/03/2021 - Day 59. Watering. p.H. water I regulated to 6.4 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 32% humidity. 29/03/2021 - Day 62. Watering. p.H - 6.3 Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 36% humidity. 30/03/2021 - Day 63. Photography. This time I didn't photograph them on a black background, I didn't want to stress them too much, I'll take detailed photos for the end anyway. That’s it for this week, without much excitement, I’m patiently waiting for the harvest. See you soon.

Looks like a promising sturdy but surprisingly tall plant. I thought BK was supposed to stay on the shorter side. Regardless I'll enjoy watching her grow & hopefully she'll reward me with beautiful flower. The BK flower I previously had was my go-to night time if I had a migraine strain - worked every single time. I hope this one is the same.

Plantas finamente transplantadas. Ainda serão mantidas em vegetativo apenas até que o "choque" do transplante passe e então serão levadas a florir. Agora utilizando 2 LED 50W 6500K. Estufa toda em alumínio com extrator 4".

Flipped to flower this week. Experimenting with the short veg from seed. Fingers crossed they bounce.

Strawberry AKeil (Serious Seeds) Tag 103 / Blühtag 68 Fast am Ziel 43 cm reif für die Ernte! 🍓🔥 Nach 68 langen Blühetagen steht meine Strawberry AKeil jetzt bei nur 43 cm Höhe kompakt, aber extrem dicht bestückt. Die letzten Tage haben sich die Buds nochmal richtig verdichtet und kaum noch neue Blütenkelche (Calyxe) gebildet. Sie ist klar in der Reifephase angekommen! Heute habe ich nochmal einen genauen Trichome-Check gemacht: 30 % B / 60 % M / 10 % K Genau der sweet spot, auf den ich gewartet habe. Die Köpfchen glänzen fett und harzig, besonders in der Nahansicht sieht man die fantastische Trichomendecke. Dazu diese wunderschöne lila-rote Färbung an den Blütenblättern einfach eine Augenweide! Wie bei den anderen Pflanzen im Zelt lief auch hier der letzte Abschnitt sehr clean: - Über 1,5 Wochen nur klares Wasser - Zu Beginn der 10. Blütewoche nochmal einen leichten Boost mit Top-Max, Acti Vera, Alg-A-Mic und CalMag Der Stickstoff ist inzwischen sehr gut abgebaut, wie man auf den Fotos deutlich an den vielen hellgelben bis goldenen Blättern sieht. Ich habe heute nochmal gezielt die welkesten und unteren Blätter entfernt, um Schimmelrisiko zu minimieren und den Buds noch Licht und Luft zu gönnen. In den nächsten 3 Tagen(länger wirds nicht laufen) darf sie nochmal richtig Sonne tanken, dann verlässt sie als Erste das Zelt. Ich bin extrem gespannt auf den Trockengeruch und das finale Aroma bisher war sie schon im Zelt eine der stärksten Terpene Bomben mit diesem fruchtig-erdbeerigen Profil. Zusammenfassung: Eine sehr kompakte, harzige und aromatische Strawberry AKeil, die trotz etwas kleinerer Statur richtig dicke Buds produziert hat. Der letzte Check morgen oder übermorgen entscheidet den exakten Erntetag. Danke an alle, die mitgefiebert haben! Jetzt kommt der schönste Teil! 💚 Euer Bauer420🧑🏻‍🌾

One thing after another with This grow lol first a fan went on me and then a light blew just annoying things really

Good week I must say , the top cola has spiraled it's buds around and connected itself , looks cool think I have about 2 weeks left before I cut, but I will have to check the trichomes later on down the last weeks , it should all be good 👍😊 Also thinking of maybe chopping off the lower branch popcorns , I'm 50/50 on this , if anybody could weigh in please do :)

The buds are bulking every day. A slight defoliation was done to expose the inner buds. From next week onwards, Nitrogen will be cut and the first phase of flushing will begin. Harvest in approx 2 weeks!

Good vibes. In this week i tray to make a clon. I hope it goes well. This is last veg week. In this seventh I saw considerable improvements I am very enthusiastic and hopeful

Week 11 of flower – May 14, 2025 – Harvest time: Radical Juice - took her down on day 72 of flower. - good call - she's taking up the Cannatrol all by herself! 😄 Kalashnikova & Warlock got to wait another 10 days ...

Start of week 8

Olá companheiros de cultivo, mais uma semana que passou, adicionei um led Mars hydro Ts 1000🤩☀️ ao cultivo para dar uma ajuda na floração, a tropicanna Poison está grande, espero que fique roxa 🍇, a Purple Punch está pequena e muito ramificada estilo Indica, A Gelato#33 fast está tb muito ramificada e a começar a esticar, vão todas muito bem para o primeiro cultivo indoor, talvez pequenas em comparação a tropicanna Poison, mas levaram todas o mesmo solo e nutrientes, Grato amigos!🌱✌️🌲
