๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒธ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ’š Beast Mode Activated โ€” Big Flowers, Big Presence, and Absolutely No Hurry to Follow Anyone Else's Rules! Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š My friends... LOOK AT THIS GIRL! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ Seriously. Look at her. Look at those flowers. Look at that structure. Look at the way she's carrying herself in the room. This is Cash Express Pheno B, and I think we can officially say that her beast mode is still very much switched on! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฅ And after everything that happened with her sister, there's something especially satisfying about seeing this girl continue her journey without losing her main cola. Her sister had a rough chapter. We lost a beautiful flower, and that was a proper bummer. But this girl? She's still carrying hers. And what a beautiful main cola it is! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ She's shining. She's developing. She's continuing to evolve. And she's doing it in her own way, at her own pace, without asking anyone for permission. She's not waiting for the other plants. She's not checking the calendar. She's not asking me when she's supposed to finish. She's simply doing her thing. And honestly? I love that. We are getting into the later part of her journey, but I'm not going to pretend I know exactly when she'll be finished. She'll get there when she's ready. Until then, we're going to keep observing, keep documenting, and keep giving this beautiful beast the spotlight she deserves. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! The idea behind this project is simple: Different genetics and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. Same room. Same 12/12 light schedule. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional program. Same grower. And yet... completely different personalities. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ That's the part I love most about this experiment. Some plants are compact. Some stretch. Some build enormous structures. Some take their sweet time. Others seem to wake up every morning and decide that today is another opportunity to surprise us. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's bringing the beast mode. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ”ฅ Her sister has experienced a very different journey, including the unfortunate loss of her main cola. This girl has kept hers, and we're continuing to follow her development as she moves toward the later part of her flowering journey. Two phenotypes. Shared genetics. Shared environment. Different experiences. And that's exactly why every plant gets her own diary. We're not simply documenting a cultivar name. We're documenting the individual plant in front of us. And this girl has plenty of personality to document! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š HER MAIN COLA IS STILL HERE โ€” AND SHE'S SHINING! Let's give this flower the appreciation it deserves. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ After what happened to her sister, I think it's impossible not to pay a little extra attention to this girl's main cola. It's beautiful. It's substantial. And it's still part of the plant. That's something worth celebrating. When you've watched a flower develop over so many weeks, you start appreciating all the little changes that brought it to this point. The structure. The way the flowers develop together. The way the surrounding foliage frames the cola. The changing appearance as the plant progresses. And now, here we are, looking at a beautiful main flower that's still very much part of her story. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ I'm not going to make predictions about exactly how much longer it has. I'm not going to put a finish date on her. And I'm certainly not going to start calling the run finished just because the plant looks impressive. We're going to keep watching. We're going to keep observing the whole plant. And we're going to let her development tell us where she is in the journey. For now? I'm enjoying the view. And this girl is giving us plenty to enjoy! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ BEAST MODE โ€” A MEDIUM PLANT WITH A BIG PRESENCE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One of the things I really like about Cash Express Pheno B is that she doesn't need to dominate every centimetre of the room to make herself noticed. She's got presence. She's got character. And those flowers certainly know how to attract attention. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š There's a difference between a plant being physically enormous and a plant simply having an impressive expression. You can have a giant plant that doesn't necessarily produce the individual flower structure you're looking for. And you can have a more moderate-sized plant that develops some seriously impressive flowers. Cash Express Pheno B is a great reminder that plant height alone never tells the entire story. Look at the structure. Look at the individual flowers. Look at the way the plant has developed. Look at her main cola. And then tell me she isn't bringing some serious beast energy to this adventure! ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's doing her thing. And we're here to appreciate it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ MOVING TOWARD THE FINISH โ€” BUT WHO SET THE DATE? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is where things get interesting. We're moving into the later part of her journey, and she's continuing to evolve beautifully. But when is she going to be finished? Honestly? I don't know. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And that's not me avoiding the question. It's simply me refusing to pretend that a calendar can tell us everything we need to know about a living plant. The week number gives us context. The photographs help us track changes. The appearance of the flowers gives us information. But no single observation tells us everything about the plant's overall maturity. Different phenotypes can develop at different rates, even when they're grown under the same general conditions. And Cash Express Pheno B has already shown us that she has her own rhythm. So we're not going to force a deadline onto her. We're going to keep observing the overall development and document what we actually see. No guessing for the sake of guessing. No promises. No imaginary finish date. Just the plant, the camera, and another week of the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ SAME ROOM, SAME OPPORTUNITY โ€” DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room remains under the same general setup. We're not changing everything around simply because one plant is developing differently from another. The lighting ecosystem remains in place. The nutritional program remains consistent. The environmental strategy remains the same. And the plants continue to express themselves individually. This is one of the most important things to understand about the 8ร—8 Adventure. Keeping the environment consistent doesn't mean every plant will behave identically. Genetics influence plant architecture, development, flowering patterns, and how individual plants respond to their surroundings. The environment provides the conditions. The plant's biology determines how it responds to them. And the results can be fascinating. The Blueberry Muffin sisters have been taking their time. Cash Express Pheno B is showing a very different rhythm. And even within Cash Express, Pheno A and Pheno B have experienced different journeys. That's not a problem with the experiment. That's precisely what makes the experiment interesting. Same room. Different stories. And we're documenting every one of them. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ARTIFICIAL SUN โ€” FUTURE OF GROW BLACK SERIES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting setup remains unchanged this week. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue to provide the main lighting for the room, with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remaining part of our upgraded setup. After adding those fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug rather than running everything at maximum. Our working reference remains around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Actual intensity varies depending on the plant's height and position, so this is an upper-canopy reference, not a claim that every flower receives exactly the same amount of light. And Cash Express Pheno B continues her journey beneath that lighting environment. Same artificial sun. Same general setup. Different plant. Different response. Different expression. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ The extra fixtures have given us more lighting capacity and more flexibility in how we use that capacity. And that is worth highlighting. More available capacity doesn't automatically mean we need to operate every fixture at maximum output. The useful question is how the lighting performs within the complete environment and how the plants respond. That's part of what we're exploring throughout this adventure. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series fixtures and giving us the opportunity to test this expanded lighting setup! โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ THE RED-LIGHT DISCUSSION โ€” WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY DO? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now, let's talk about the extra 15 minutes of red light after the main lighting period. Since we're documenting this lighting routine across the individual reports this week, I want to explain the science rather than simply repeat a claim. Plants have photoreceptors that help them interpret their light environment. One important group is the phytochromes, which respond to red and far-red wavelengths. These photoreceptors participate in signalling processes that can influence plant development and responses to changing light conditions. Red and far-red light are related, but they are not interchangeable. Their effects depend on the wavelengths involved, the intensity, the duration of exposure, the timing, and the plant's physiological state. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is part of the lighting routine we're documenting. However, we shouldn't automatically claim that this short period guarantees better flowering, larger flowers, increased yield, or a better transition into darkness. Those are specific outcomes that would need appropriate evidence. For this run, we're recording what we're doing and keeping the scientific explanation separate from any assumptions about the result. That's important. It's possible to explore lighting techniques while remaining honest about what we know. And if we want to understand what a particular treatment actually changes, we need to look at the evidence and the plants' responses rather than assuming the result in advance. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE EMERSON EFFECT โ€” A LITTLE PHOTOSYNTHESIS SCIENCE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Since we're already talking about light, let's take a moment to look at the Emerson effect. This is a genuine phenomenon in photosynthesis, and it's a fascinating example of how plants use light. In simplified terms, the Emerson effect describes an increase in photosynthetic activity observed when certain red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together, compared with what would be expected from their individual effects under the experimental conditions. Why does that happen? Photosynthesis involves two cooperating photosystems: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II โ€” PSII ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I โ€” PSI Both are involved in the light-dependent reactions that help convert light energy into chemical energy. The two photosystems have different absorption characteristics, and their cooperation is essential to the overall process. Under suitable conditions, combining particular wavelengths can improve the balance between the activity of the two photosystems. The resulting photosynthetic response can be greater than expected from either wavelength acting alone. That's the key idea behind the Emerson effect. But here's where we need to be careful. The Emerson effect does not simply mean that adding red light at the end of the day automatically increases photosynthesis. The classic effect concerns the combined action of red and far-red wavelengths under particular illumination conditions. Our additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lights is a different situation. We shouldn't assume that it reproduces the Emerson effect or that it automatically produces a measurable benefit. The actual spectrum matters. The intensity matters. The timing matters. And the response being measured matters. So, yes, the Emerson effect is an important and interesting part of photosynthesis research. But we need to distinguish the established phenomenon from the particular lighting routine we're using in this grow. That's how we keep the science useful. Curiosity is good. Experimenting can be interesting. But understanding what an effect actually describes is even better. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒ™ RED LIGHT, FAR-RED LIGHT, AND DARKNESS ARE NOT THE SAME THING One final clarification, because these subjects are often mixed together. Red light and far-red light can influence plant signalling in different ways. The phytochrome system responds to these wavelengths and helps plants interpret changes in their light environment. But the response to a particular treatment depends on the exact conditions. A short red-light period after the main lights switch off is not automatically equivalent to a far-red treatment. And neither treatment should be assumed to guarantee a particular outcome without supporting evidence. For this report, the important point is simple: We're documenting the additional 15-minute red-light period as part of our current lighting routine. We're explaining the relevant science. And we're not claiming that the Emerson effect proves this particular treatment will improve the plant. If we want to understand the actual effect of a lighting treatment, we'd need suitable comparisons and measurements. That's the difference between an interesting idea and a demonstrated result. And I think growers deserve that distinction. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ NUTRITION โ€” KEEPING THE ROOM CONSISTENT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional program remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with the same general recipe across the room rather than creating a new feeding plan for Cash Express Pheno B simply because she's developing at her own pace. The current recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L Current solution readings remain approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” 6.04 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm Same general program. Same room. Same opportunity. And the plant continues to show us her own expression. We're not trying to make every phenotype follow the same timeline. We're watching the plants and documenting what happens. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœ‚๏ธ NOT MUCH INTERVENTION โ€” JUST OBSERVATION One thing that hasn't changed is our approach to the plant itself. We're not looking for unnecessary work. We're not trying to manipulate her simply because she's entering a later stage. We're observing. We're documenting. We're keeping an eye on her overall condition. And we're letting her continue her journey. The plant has already developed her structure. The flowers are there. The room is stable. So there's no reason to invent an intervention just to make the week feel busy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Sometimes the grower needs to take action. Sometimes the grower needs to solve a problem. And sometimes the grower needs to put the camera down, take a step back, and appreciate what the plant has become. Cash Express Pheno B is definitely giving me plenty of reasons to do that last one. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” ROOM CONDITIONS The room continues under the same general setup used across this week's individual reports: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow Black Series LEDs โ€” upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximate lighting output โ€” ~59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~61% โš—๏ธ pH โ€” ~6.04 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation โ€” ~1.45 L per plant / 24h These are the shared room readings and setup references, rather than measurements unique to this individual plant. Same room. Same lighting ecosystem. Same general nutritional program. Different phenotype. And Cash Express Pheno B continues to show us what she can do within that environment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š HER SISTER'S STORY IS DIFFERENT โ€” AND THAT'S OKAY I think this comparison deserves a moment of its own. Cash Express Pheno A lost her main cola. It was unfortunate, and we documented it honestly. Cash Express Pheno B has kept hers, and we're continuing to follow her development. It's tempting to think that two plants sharing the same genetics and room should experience the same journey. But living plants don't work like that. Their individual structures, development, and responses can differ. And sometimes their experiences differ for reasons that have nothing to do with a simple comparison of the cultivar name. We don't need to turn the two sisters into a competition. One plant's setback doesn't diminish the other plant's success. And one plant doing well doesn't make the other plant's difficult chapter any less important to document. They each deserve their own report. Their own photographs. Their own observations. And their own story. Cash Express Pheno B is bringing her beast mode this week. So that's what we're celebrating. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE CAMERA LOVES THIS GIRL And honestly? I could keep taking photographs of this plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ There's something satisfying about looking at a plant you've followed for weeks and seeing how her appearance has changed over time. The structure. The flowers. The main cola. The way she occupies her space. All those details become part of the record. And that's why I enjoy keeping the reports separate. A single overview of the whole room would never tell us everything about each plant. Here, we can stop and appreciate Cash Express Pheno B individually. We can admire her flowers. We can follow her development. We can compare this week's photographs with previous weeks. And we can document the journey without pretending we already know how the final chapter will look. That's the beauty of keeping a proper diary. One plant. One week. One more piece of the story. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ญ WHEN WILL SHE FINISH? The million-dollar question! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And my answer is still: I don't know yet. She's moving toward the later part of her journey, and her development is continuing. But I'm not going to invent a finish date simply because we're at Week 14. The calendar gives us context. It doesn't make the decision for the plant. We'll continue to observe her overall maturity and development, and we'll document what we actually see. No false certainty. No promises. No pressure to finish on somebody else's schedule. Cash Express Pheno B gets to write her own ending. And we'll be here with the camera when the next chapter arrives. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœจ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” BEAST MODE, BRIGHT LIGHTS, AND HER OWN FINISH LINE Week 14. Cash Express Pheno B. And what a beautiful beast she is! ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ”ฅ Unlike her sister, she hasn't lost her main cola. She's continuing to develop. She's looking beautiful. She's showing us her own structure and her own personality. And she's moving toward the later part of her journey without giving us a reason to rush her or invent a deadline. I'm loving what I'm seeing. I'm enjoying the photographs. I'm enjoying the opportunity to follow this phenotype individually. And I'm especially enjoying the contrast between the two sisters. Same genetics. Same room. Different experiences. Different expressions. Different stories. That's what this adventure is all about. We've also taken the opportunity to discuss the extra 15-minute red-light period and the Emerson effect. Red and far-red light have fascinating roles in plant signalling and photosynthesis, but the science deserves to be explained accurately. The Emerson effect describes a specific photosynthetic response involving the cooperation of photosystems under particular illumination conditions. It doesn't automatically prove that our short end-of-day red-light period produces the same effect. We're documenting our lighting routine, learning about the underlying science, and keeping our conclusions grounded in what we actually know. Because growing is not just about watching plants develop. It's also about asking questions, exploring ideas, and learning to separate observations from assumptions. And this girl? She's giving us plenty to observe. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So let's celebrate the beautiful main cola that's still here. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's enjoy her beast-mode personality. Let's keep the room stable. Let's keep learning. And let's allow Cash Express Pheno B to reach her own finish line in her own time. She's not following the calendar. She's following her own journey. And we're here to watch it unfold. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’šโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us maintain consistency throughout the room. ๐ŸŒฑ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures that have expanded our lighting capability. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to LumiFlora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy.

Thank you for the questions. Thank you for the support. And thank you for appreciating the individual stories behind these plants. Because that's what makes the 8ร—8 Adventure special. We're not simply showing you a room full of plants. We're documenting different genetics, different phenotypes, different experiences, and everything we learn along the way. Sometimes we celebrate a beautiful main cola. Sometimes we document a setback. Sometimes we explore the science behind a lighting technique. And sometimes we simply stand there, look at a plant, and say: "Damn... you're beautiful." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Cash Express Pheno B is giving us one of those weeks. So keep shining, beautiful beast. Keep doing your thing. Keep following your own rhythm. And whenever you're ready to finish your story... we'll be here to document it. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธโœจ Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿš‚

3 day into week 9 still not flowering (day 59). I don't know why this is supposed to be an autoflower that I got from homegrown cannibas Co. The white widow autoflower I got from them started to flower after about 4-5 weeks but this CRITICAL MASS AUTOFLOWER doesn't seem to want to flower and I'm doing everything the same besides the LST. I will give it a little more time and hope that it's just a late bloomer and starts to flower soon fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž*UPDATE* ON DAY 61, 2DAYS BEFORE WEEK 10 CMA STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF FLOWERING, LST CANOPY IS PRETTY MUCH EVEN AND ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF OF ROOT ROT

@ 1.2-1.4 kPa Raspberry parfait smells strong, this instantly noticeable when opening the tent. The BlueZushi smells good as well but only noticeable when rubbing on the sugar leaves.

Week three went well. Continue to find a few balls here and there but not much. A few odd mutations showing early week 4 (buds on fan leaves). Explosive growth of buds/pistals for me anyway. Happy with the progress. Stack em. Pack em and rack em!

Giorno 36 - ho sistemato meglio lโ€™apicale rinforzando con nastro di carta e mettendo il sostegno di gomma sotto. Vedremo nei prossimi giorni come si evolve la situazione. Ho dato 1 lt di acqua a testa in irrigazione Giorno 37 - Lโ€™apicale sembra stare decisamente meglio, ogni volta si stacca dal sostegno e cerca di andare verso la luce. Giorno 38 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa in irrigazione, domani alzerรฒ i dosaggi di fertilizzanti a 1ml/lt per ognuno Giorno 39 - ho dato 1litro (0,5 l a testa) di fertilizzanti in quantitร  (1ml/L di bio grow, bio bloom e top max), vediamo come reagiscono le piante Giorno 40 - il terreno รฉ ancora umido, irrigherรฒ domani, sembra abbiano reagito bene alla dose in piรน di fertilizzanti che ho dato ieri Giorno 41 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa perchรฉ una delle due aveva le foglie totalmente abbassate, verificherรฒ tra qualche ora se si รฉ ripresa Giorno 42 - stanotte alle 3 le foglie di una erano completamente abbassate di nuovo, il terreno รฉ umido quindi non ho irrigato, credo che annaffierรฒ domani

semana tranquila , aplique la segunda dosis de abamectina para eliminar los huevos que quedaron de una muy pequeรฑa plaga de micro acaros con la que venian los esquejes , aumento la cantidad de agua en riego y dicho sea de paso la segunda aplicacion de abamectina es para acabar con los huevos eclosionados durante los 7 dias posteriores a la primera dosis , la abamectina se obtiene del proceso de fermentacion de la bacteria de suelo Streptomyces avermitilisb y tiene una accion translaminar que quiere decir que penetra la hoja pudiendo llegar al enves de la misma de manera mas facil debido a esto penetra el tejido foliar formando una reserva dentro de la hoja y su vida media es entre dos semanas y dos meses por eso la ultima aplicacion de preferencia es en la preflora , se degrada facilmente por microorganismos y NO SE ACUMULA ... un dato ยก que tengan buena semaaana y buenos humosยก

I'm pretty much on auto pilot at this point.. im still just feeding compost extracts to keep it simple. There's a couple things I want to point out this week; I've also included a video of my cheese auto and no extra cost to the reader ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ PROCESS/ENVIRONMENT CHANGES - I've lowered the temp inside my tent a little bit to help keep my VFD between a good range for flower (1.0 - 1.5). I also changed the RH on my humidity controller when the temperature goes down after the lights go off. It's kind of a hassle but it's the only way I can stay in the range I'm looking for. - I've started to raise the pH of my water slowly... I want it to be between 6.6. And 6.8 at this point. - I've increase all my lights.. my Sf4000 is at 85% intensity and both my Ts1000s are sitting at around 75% intensity. - I've increased all my fans running. My intake is maxed out, my exhaust is on '6' and my fans inside my tent are all maxed out.. the cheese auto is drowning my entire house out hahaha its crazy. -I've cut off a whole bunch of fan leaves, larf, bottom branches and a bunch of other unwanted stuff.. I'm hoping that she thickens up fairly like some of her sister's in the tent ๐Ÿคž cutting off all the unwanted junk might help at least move more air at the bottom of the canopy.. at most it will help direct energy to other parts of the plant therefore producing a better flower. If she does fill out I'll have to support her side branches so they don't fall over. - Every day I rotate the plants in my tent so that the get to experience the light in different ways. Add me on IG for more updates @Wrongholn519

Day 33-40 (May 24th-May 31st) (Day 34) I just found a herm branch on the tight blueberry pheno. It looks like a random pollen sack opened right above a lower branch. I removed the sack but I saw a small amount of dust fall onto one of the lower branches. Iโ€™m going to leave it to see if it will pollinate that small branch at all. I spent a good 5 minutes looking closely for bananas or claws but couldnโ€™t find anymore. The main bud is clearly unaffected so I will just leave it unless it is visibly seeding itself. Too bad because Iโ€™m really excited for this plant. (Day 36) Not a lot has happened since I flushed them. Growth actually looks healthy and I donโ€™t see any deficiencies on anything yet. (Day 37) Both of these badazz cheese phenos are picture perfect and easily hold up against Canadian and California quad grade. I might try to reveg them at the end and take some clones. They have this unique pungent, grassy, sour milk smell that is just wonderful. The density and bud structure is looking great too. This whole plant will probably take 3 minutes to trim if that. (Day 38) Just found a banana on the shitty blueberry pheno. This pheno is trash and I would honestly throw it away if it didnโ€™t mess up the 3 perfect rows. It has almost no frost, no smell, is airy and has bad structure. Iโ€™ve actually never seen a plant with such little frost. Even outdoors. (Day 39) I think most of this tent will be done by day 60 but I will probably ride it out until day 70+. I donโ€™t think the blueberries or the jacks will fill out very much either way but taking it too day 70 will ensure maximum production from each plant.

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of veg. I meant to repot these girls last week and I've been a day behind all week. I've got the pots washed and the soil mixed but just didn't get around to repotting them. I'll get it done tomorrow. They look a little wilty because I turned the light on to take these pics and they were asleep. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.
