Half way through the week of germination the seedling started to grow horizontally, removed humidity tent, turned off the heating pad, and built up the soil around her base. Plant seems to be doing fine now. Join my discord here: https://discord.gg/bhBQRmSzJ3 Feeding 8/16/21 Had to PH via drop tester as digital meter broke. PPM742 69F

Day 41 - 07/12/19 This one has grown a hell of a lot of fan leaves. had to pluck a lot of them. now the light can penetrate lower growth. theres a lovely NYCD smell coming from this one! smells amazing! Height is 36cm at the tallest cola and thats with a big LST. trying to keep height down as i have not added rope rachets to my lights yet. Im gonna be giving a fair bit of Nitrogen this week (Canna A), potassium and phosphorus (Canna B) as flowering stage is here :) Changed Ph from around 6.6/6.7 - 6.3 Added a few pictures and a video to show progress from last week. not much else this week just happy little plants! Day 43 - 09/12/19 Just rotating the diesel now twice a day so it all gets light coverage as im keeping my Quick One plant mostly under the flowering lights until its harvest next week. apparently the quick one has a polyploid mutation causing it to have a much bigger yield. so i think it deserves the light for a few more days. The diesel is still giving off that lovely smell and getting bigger every day. its definitely wider than my quick one and soon to be taller. Had to defoliate some of the bigger fan leaves to allow more light through to lower growth as the odd fan leaf was turning yellow. Ive been feeding 2 times with nutes and water phed and giving only phed water on the third occassion to prevent salt buildup and nutrient toxicities. Check out my other diaries if you get a chance and keep on growing!

Well, this is the last week of flushing, then comes the chop. Timber! 🌲. Lol. I am super excited and happy with the results so far. I will update again when I harvest. 😃😎

Shes going strong all 3 is killing it they can eat now you can go all the way to 1600ppms with her bloom feed they are frosting up and getting dence still got a couple weeks left will have 3 different harvest dates on these 3 🍇🍇🍇🍇🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wasn't the best run, my first Hydro grow and I had a lot of over nutrition issues during vegetation which I expect will reduce yields. I also had a bit of bud rot on one of my plants even with humidity of 55 percent and 26c with plenty of fans I expect the plants immunity was compromised from the abuse that happened during veg. All in all, this strain is worth another attempt will defenatly keep this strain for a second run in the future. Next up - - > canna aqua trial with killer glue by little chief collabs - - > legendary AK 47 x Original Gorilla Glue 4 Will add more photos of cured buds and dry weight in the next couple of weeks.

Woche 7 Sie ist gut in die Breite gegangen, so kann die anstehende Blüte beginnen und sie bekommt ausreichend Licht und Luft zwischen die Zweige. Zum Ende der Woche muss mal wieder etwas Blattwerk fallen.

KICKASS AUTO by KANNABIA Week #13 Overall Week #7 Flower This week it got over 100° outside so it kinda took a little toll on her but she's still producing buds still growing and getting dense. Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com KICKASS AUTO

The mother has green growth coming in. Older leaves showing magnesium deficiency. Lots of bud sites. The clone is very healthy and happy😊 Any input is always welcome!

Piante spettacolari, attraenti , la resina abbonda e l’odore è forte e molto buono Tra poche ore si raccoglie , radici pulite con risciacquo di 2 settimane 😋😜

This week I installed floraflex automated watering system. Also I started feeding FloraFlex V1 and V2 nutrients 600ppm + Botanicare CalMag at 200ppm for a total of 800 ppm.

59.5 dry

I got a Mimosa to save! It is about 2 months old and is growing in soil and has only been illuminated in 18/6. It has problems as you can see I will try to get it under control in the next few weeks. Until then there will be a weekly update

we just finished 2 weeks are are going into the 3 week. These ladies can EAT!! 1,000 ppm’s and no issues..looks like I have to up the ppm’s for bloom phase 4 out of the 5 are doing GREAT. The 5th one is having issues and I know it’s the media I am using. I had a different brand of soil for 1 of the banana MAC’s and it freaking SUCKS!! I am amending with Iron-Tone by Espoma to get the green back and it has some cal-mag also with sulpher ( hits all suspect deficiencies). The other 4 are in Mother Earth soil which I have had zero issues with. I will be sticking with Mother Earth for awhile. 11/6 Potassium deficiency in the banana MAC’s…kinda of a good sign. Let’s me know the plant is going into bloom phase and it’s time to change the ratios from 1:1:1 to 1:3:2. The 1:3:2 is flower girl 1 week and fish bone meal with Langbeinite the other week. I will alternate between the two for 4 weeks. Tuesday ( 11/8) will mark 3 weeks. I did defoliation and lollipoping today. This is the second one I have done ( I do the first one the week before flipping).

A LOT of growth this week moving into flower! She started to show her pistols and off to the stretch she went! We're under the Gambit Gorwing Solutions 240w Ion Board at about 35% Power. Over the next week or so we will be slowly cranking the power up to support dense bud growth! I'm happy overall with how she's progressing and look forward to what she produces! Not much of a drinker, she sips slowly through out the week. I tend to be watering every 3 days or so with her. Monitoring to increase in the near future. thanks for stopping by!

this week is going really good! I am flushing right now with just plain water. I was supposed to harvest but I decided to give it another watering since the ppm values were the maximum recommended for harvest and I want as less fertilizer in my buds as possible😁 next time I'll water I'll give them 4/5 liters per plant and when the soil is kinda moist and about to dry I will give them 24 hrs of darkness to increase resin and then FINALLY chop everything off! I'm really excited to try them! they smell really amazing.

Start of week 8. Week 7 went very well, the buds on this GG#4 really blew up/out, incredible size increase and they look really dense, with red hairs mixed in. The leaves have some nice purple colors as well as the stems.

2 weeks of flowering are over and it Looks really nice:) Only Problem is the high humifity , sometimes its over 80%, so i ordered a dehumidifier which should arrive in monday, hopefully i get below 60% and i think i will do some defoliation next week

🌸 Week 7 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week has passed and flowering is now in full swing across all 6 phenos 👀🔥 The differences between the plants continue to grow, and it’s becoming easier to see which phenos have the potential to become real standouts by harvest time. 📈 Current observations: Pheno #1 and #6 have finally started to catch up and are now slowly building buds as well 🌸 Pheno #5 continues to dominate the tent and has stretched to an impressive 130 cm The flower development on Pheno #5 is especially promising, with some bud sites already suggesting the potential for 25 cm+ colas if everything continues as planned 🔥 Pheno #2 and #6 are being overshadowed by the larger phenos and are clearly falling behind in overall size and vigor The structural differences between the phenos are now more obvious than ever, with some focusing on height while others remain more compact and bushy 💡 Environment & setup: The grow has now reached its current limits in terms of space and lighting: Light fixture raised to its maximum height Light intensity increased to 80% Summer temperatures pushing the tent up to around 32°C ☀️ Relative humidity averaging around 67% Despite the higher temperatures, the plants are still pushing forward and stacking flowers nicely. The next few weeks will be all about bud development, density, and resin production. 🏆 At the moment, Pheno #5 is definitely demanding attention, but there is still plenty of time for surprises. Sometimes the biggest plant doesn't end up being the best one, and that's exactly what makes a pheno hunt so exciting. 💬 Which pheno do you think will come out on top when harvest day arrives?

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 11 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Hungry, Frosty & Still Asking for More 🌸❄️💡 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here we go again... Chem Brûlée Pheno B. If you've been following her diary, you already know this girl has never really been shy about expressing herself. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. And she's definitely not the quiet girl in the room. 😂 But this week, something interesting happened. The plant itself didn't need much from me. The room changed. The lighting system received a serious upgrade. The nutrition moved forward slightly. And then... we stepped back. Because at this stage of flowering, sometimes the most important thing we can do is provide what the plant needs and let her get on with the job. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B? She's doing exactly that. She's still shining. She's still hungry. She's still building. And she's still very much herself. 🍮🌸❄️💡 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 11 – Let Her Keep Building Chem Brûlée Pheno B remains around 130 cm, maintaining that taller, more open architecture that has separated her from her sister throughout this journey. And honestly... I'm really enjoying watching what she's doing with that structure. The height isn't the story anymore. The flowers are. The plant has already established her architecture. The branches are positioned. The flowering sites are developing. And now we're watching that framework slowly become something much more substantial. This is the stage where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere. She's healthy. She's green. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's using the environment. So... let her work. ──────────────────────── 🍽️ Yes... She's Still Hungry If there's one thing Chem Brûlée Pheno B has made extremely clear throughout this grow, it's that she has an appetite. 😂🍽️🌿 She seems to look at the environment we've created and say: "Okay... what else have you got?" And while we obviously don't make nutritional decisions based purely on appearance, her vigorous growth and continued flower development make her a very interesting phenotype to observe. She's using resources. She's producing new floral development. She's maintaining her foliage. She's processing all that available light. And she's continuing to build. So yes... our hungry girl is still hungry. And we're listening. We're not throwing everything at her. We're not changing things dramatically. We're simply making measured adjustments and watching the response. That's the approach. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Becoming Part of Her Personality One of the things becoming increasingly difficult to ignore is the resin. The frost is developing beautifully. When you look at the plant from a distance, you see her overall architecture. Move closer... and suddenly the story changes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Trichomes. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny details everywhere. That's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. The wide photograph tells you where the plant is. The macro photograph starts telling you what she's becoming. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B is becoming increasingly interesting. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction? I really like it. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Taking Shape The developing flowers continue becoming more defined. Those long white pistils are still reaching outward from the developing structures, giving the flowers that almost explosive appearance we've been watching. But underneath those hairs, something more substantial is happening. The buds are gaining structure. The individual flowering sites are becoming easier to distinguish. And the plant is slowly moving away from: "I have flowering sites." toward: "I'm building flowers." That's the transition we're watching now. And because Pheno B has such a distinctive structure, it's particularly satisfying to see those flowers developing throughout her branches. The architecture is becoming the foundation. The flowers are becoming the story. ──────────────────────── 💡 The 8×8 Just Got A Serious Photon Upgrade Now let's talk about the biggest change this week. The plants themselves didn't need much intervention. But the lighting environment received a major upgrade. We've added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures to the 8×8. And... yes. We definitely noticed. 😂💡 The available light increased more than I wanted initially. So rather than simply running everything harder, we reduced the output. We're currently running at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. And we're seeing approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of available light. And I much prefer having that capacity available while controlling how much of it we're actually using. We're not chasing the biggest number possible. We're looking for the level that makes sense for the plants and the room. And right now... I'm very happy with where we've landed. ──────────────────────── ☀️ More Light Doesn't Mean We Need More Power This is something I particularly like about the new setup. We now have considerably more lighting capability. But we're not obligated to use all of it. We added the two additional fixtures. We measured the result. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we turned them down. Now we're around 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're also saving electricity compared with simply running all the fixtures at maximum output. That's a win for me. We're testing the fixtures properly. We're learning what they can do. We're finding a practical operating point. And we're not wasting power just because we have it available. That's exactly what I wanted from this lighting upgrade. ──────────────────────── 💚 Future Of Grow – A Big Thank You A special shout-out this week to Future of Grow. They provided the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test here in the 8×8 Adventure. And now we're putting them to work. Real room. Real flowering plants. Real measurements. Real adjustments. The additional fixtures gave us more lighting capability than we initially wanted, so we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And I'm genuinely happy with the balance. Strong lighting. More control. Lower power consumption than running everything flat out. And twelve different plants showing us how they respond. Thank you, Future of Grow, for giving us the opportunity to test these additional fixtures and see what they can do in a real grow environment. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Chem Brûlée Under The New Artificial Sun And here's where things get fascinating. The lighting environment has changed. But Chem Brûlée Pheno B hasn't suddenly become another plant. She's still tall. Still vigorous. Still hungry. Still beautifully structured. Still developing those flowers. Still frosting up. That's the beauty of genetics. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. But the plant decides what to do with them. The same light can fall on two phenotypes and produce two completely different stories. And Pheno B is continuing to write hers. She's taking that available energy and putting it toward what she does best: growing. Building. Flowering. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Around 1,500 PPFD Across The Upper Canopy The approximately 1,500 PPFD we're currently seeing is across the upper canopy. And with Pheno B, that distinction is particularly important. She's a tall plant. Her flowers and leaves occupy different levels. The top of the plant sees stronger direct illumination. The middle receives a different intensity. The inner areas receive less direct exposure. And lower parts of the structure naturally receive something different again. That's completely normal. A plant isn't a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional solar field. 😂🌿☀️ Our goal isn't to make every single flower receive identical light. It's to create a strong, useful lighting environment while allowing the plant to use the available photons effectively. And that's why the ability to control the output is so valuable. We can provide a very powerful artificial sun without necessarily running it at maximum intensity. ──────────────────────── 💡 Photons Are Only One Part Of The Equation I've talked about photons throughout this project because they're fundamental to what we're doing. But they're never the entire story. Light interacts with temperature. Temperature interacts with transpiration. Water availability affects nutrient movement. Root-zone conditions influence uptake. Nutrition supports development. CO₂ influences photosynthetic potential. Plant structure determines how photons move through the canopy. Everything is connected. That's why I don't want to simply keep increasing light because we can. The objective is balance. Give the plant strong usable light. Keep the environment appropriate. Maintain irrigation. Support nutrition. Observe. And adjust when the plant actually tells us something needs changing. Right now? Chem Brûlée Pheno B is telling us she's happy. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – A Small Step Forward We've also made a small adjustment to the flowering nutrition this week. Nothing dramatic. We're simply moving Terra Bloom from 2.2 ml/L to: 🌱 Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L The rest of the recipe remains: 🌱 Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L 🌱 pH adjustment as required That small increase brought the EC up slightly. We're now around: ⚡ EC — 2.14 mS/cm Again... small adjustment. Small movement. Measured response. We're not trying to reinvent the feeding programme. The plants are developing beautifully. So we're simply giving the flowering nutrition a small progression and watching how they respond. And our hungry girl? She's certainly giving us plenty to watch. 😂🍽️🌸 ──────────────────────── 💧 Irrigation – Let The System Keep Doing Its Job The irrigation system remains consistent. We're currently around: 💧 1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with approximately: 🌡️ Solution temperature — 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature — 25°C At this stage, consistency becomes increasingly important. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a reliable root environment. She needs water. She needs nutrition. She needs oxygen around the roots. And then... she needs time. So that's what we're giving her. The system continues doing its job in the background while we concentrate on observation. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 – Current Environment The room is currently running approximately: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 26.5°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 25°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 25°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.02 • ⚡ EC: 2.14 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.45 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 15 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 130 cm The environment remains broadly stable. Summer still likes to remind us that absolute precision isn't always possible. 😂☀️ So the objective isn't chasing one perfect number. It's maintaining a stable overall environment. Avoiding unnecessary swings. Watching the plants. And responding when something actually needs attention. Right now... Pheno B looks very comfortable. ──────────────────────── 🌿 No Need To Manufacture Work This is probably one of the biggest themes of this week's report. We're not doing much to the plants. And that's intentional. Earlier in the grow, we had plenty of work. Training. Structure. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. But now? The plant has done most of the building. She's created the architecture. She's established the flowering sites. She's developed the canopy. She's now putting her energy into the flowers. So I'm not going to manufacture work simply because I feel like I should be doing something. Healthy leaves are working. Flowers are developing. The plant is healthy. Air is moving. Light is available. Nutrition is consistent. Water is being delivered. Sometimes... the best thing a grower can do is leave a healthy plant alone. And our hungry girl seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── 🌸 She's Putting Those Photons Somewhere This is what I really enjoy about looking at Pheno B now. We can actually see the result of all that invisible energy. The photons are arriving. The leaves are capturing light. The plant is processing that energy. And the visible result is right there: More flower structure. More definition. More resin. More development. The plant itself becomes the record of what's happening. And Pheno B is giving us a pretty impressive record. She's not sitting still. She's working. Hard. 😂🌿 ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Is Still Loving Her And once again... this girl is fun to photograph. 😂📸 The full-plant shots show that tall, open architecture. The middle-distance photographs show how the flowers are distributed through the branches. And then you get closer... and suddenly the frame becomes pistils, resin and flower structure. That's the beauty of photographing the same plant every week. You stop relying on memory. You can actually compare. Week after week. Flower after flower. Change after change. And when you look back at the early photographs? The difference is remarkable. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has travelled a long way. And she's not finished yet. ──────────────────────── Same Environment. Completely Her Own Answer. This is still the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. Shared environmental conditions. Shared general lighting philosophy. Shared irrigation. Shared nutrition. And yet... twelve individual stories. Pheno B is another perfect example. She isn't Pheno A. She isn't one of the compact girls. She isn't one of the quieter phenotypes. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. And she's developing her flowers in her own particular way. The environment gives her the opportunity. The genetics decide how she uses it. And honestly? I really like her answer. ──────────────────────── 🍮 The Hungry Girl Is Still Hungry If I had to choose one sentence for this week's report, it would probably be: "She's still asking for more." 😂🍽️🌿 More photons. More time. More room to build. More opportunity to develop. And we're giving her those things in a controlled way. Not blindly. Not excessively. But consistently. The new lighting gives us additional capacity. The small nutritional increase gives the flowering programme a little more room. The irrigation keeps the root environment supplied. The environment remains stable. And then... we watch. That's the relationship between grower and plant at this stage. We provide. She responds. We observe. And when necessary... we adjust. ──────────────────────── 🔬 The Lighting Experiment Continues The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have added another fascinating layer to this project. We now have substantially more lighting capability than before. But the interesting result isn't simply the maximum output. It's finding the useful operating point. The PPFD initially went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the fixtures to approximately 59% power from the plug. We're now seeing around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And we're doing it while using less electricity than running the fixtures at maximum output. That's exactly the kind of practical information I wanted from this experiment. The hardware gives us the capability. The measurements tell us what is actually happening. And the plants tell us whether they like it. Chem Brûlée Pheno B? So far... she's looking pretty happy. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead From here, the plan remains beautifully simple. Keep watching. Keep photographing. Keep the environment stable. Keep irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition appropriate. Keep monitoring the lighting. And let Pheno B continue doing what she's been doing. Over the coming weeks, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued flower development ❄️ Increasing resin coverage 🌿 Healthy foliage 💡 Response to the stronger lighting environment 💧 Water demand 🌡️ Environmental stability 🌬️ Air movement through the canopy 📈 Increasing flower density and definition No need to force the next chapter. She's already writing it. We'll simply be here to document it. ──────────────────────── 💭 Final Thoughts – Let This Hungry Girl Shine Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues to be exactly what she has shown us throughout this journey. Tall. Vigorous. Hungry. Beautiful. Distinctive. And increasingly frosty. This week, we didn't need to do much to her. And that's a good thing. We added two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We measured the increased light. The PPFD went higher than I wanted. So we reduced the output to approximately 59%. We're now sitting around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. We increased Terra Bloom slightly from 2.2 to 2.3 ml/L. The EC moved a little higher to approximately 2.14 mS/cm. And then... we stepped back. Because she's doing her job. She's taking the photons. She's using the water. She's using the nutrition. She's building flowers. She's producing resin. She's becoming more and more herself. And honestly? That's exactly what I want to see. The goal isn't to make her behave like another phenotype. It's to give her the opportunity to show us what she can become. And Chem Brûlée Pheno B is definitely taking that opportunity. 🍮🌸❄️💡🔥 So keep shining, hungry girl. Keep building. Keep frosting up. Keep showing us what your particular expression of Chem Brûlée can become. We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every minute of it. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to follow these individual stories. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the journey and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore different phenotypes side by side. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the nutrition and growing programme throughout this adventure. And a massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting and, especially this week, for providing the two additional 600W fixtures for us to test in the 8×8. Being able to increase the lighting capability, measure the response, reduce the output and find a practical operating point has been a fantastic part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and seeing approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy while also keeping electricity consumption lower than simply running everything at full power. That's real-world testing. That's what I like. Thank you as well to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper parts of the canopy and giving us another perspective on three-dimensional lighting. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. You're all part of the adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is writing hers with an appetite. 😂🍽️🌸 She's hungry. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's developing some gorgeous flowers. And she's still asking for more. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see just how far this hungry girl wants to take us. 🍮❄️🌸💡🔥 Until next week... Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸🍮
