Did some more defoliation but keeping her going as she's wrapping up the stretch. Really starting to flower now, which took way longer than I expected. She's a late bloomer for sure, not the best for growing outdoors, this was a test seed though so I just kept her going. Amsterdam Genetics doesn't recommend this one for growing outdoors btw.

I am living in South Africa, Cape Town, we are heading into summer now so it is the right time to plant.... I potted this lady today so when the sun is out she'll be going outside.

All the beautiful ladies have been put in a bigger tent, can't wait to see how they react😁💚

>On the first day of this week (113rd) I cut off the upper part of the main branch since I was able to see that about 30% of the trichomes were already amber and fully developed! However, the rest of the plant still has something to develop and will be able to receive more light this way >On the last day of this week, cut 2 more branches since they were really well developed and now the rest of the plant can have more space to finish the lower and smaller branches

Finally at the end of another grow, unfortunately it's the worst grow I've done!!! My heart just wasn't in this grow! It started out well until the flowering stage. Which was right around Christmas, super busy with other things, not maintaining them every day. Leaving them days at a time 4 to5 days before checking ph & ec! So they were constantly rising to high levels, went away a few days & had a watering line come loose flooding the tent & draining the reservoir so they had no water or nutrients for days. Pure laziness!

Je l’ai tiré au maximum que j’ai pu, trychomes mixtes du brun, laiteux, opaque … 2 semaines de sechage, je penses quelle va être bien bonne vu l'odeur

Found some issues with reducing the CalMag. A couple phenos stated to fade and show red spotting on lower leaves. I went back up to 2ml of calmag and will see if that helps. The smells coming out of the tent are very pleasant. Very citrus in nature with pine undertones. At the beginning of this week I have noticed hairs are starting to turn brown. The plan is to harvest at Day 70. I will flush with ph water around day 60. I am hoping for some plumping up coming in the next couple weeks as most phenos stayed lighter than expected.

switched to bloom nutrients. Did extensive LST to pull the plant apart on day 30. seemed to do OK. main stem was very stout. nutrients at 215ppm on day 30.

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 6 | Building Sweet Foundations Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest rewards of growing multiple phenotypes side by side is watching each one reveal her own personality. Some race into flower. Others take their time. Some grow broad, powerful leaves. Others reach for the sky with elegant spacing between every node. Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues to prove that she's a lady who likes to do things her own way. Still growing under the 12/12 From Seed method, she has now settled comfortably into early flowering. The explosive stretch is beginning to slow, and all that energy is gradually being redirected toward what matters most now... Building flowers. Every day her structure becomes a little more defined, and every new pistil reminds us that this beautiful lady is only just getting started. ⸻ 🌼 Early Flowers Becoming Real Bud Sites One of the biggest changes this week isn't dramatic at first glance, but it's incredibly exciting once you know what you're looking for. Last week we celebrated the appearance of the first white pistils. This week those tiny flowers have begun gathering together, forming the first recognizable bud sites across the entire plant. The main cola is starting to establish itself, while every branch is producing neat little clusters that will eventually connect into long, resin-coated flowers. It's one of my favourite stages of any grow. Everything is still delicate and full of promise, but you can already begin to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. The blueprint has been drawn. Now the construction begins. ⸻ 🍃 Those Beautiful Giant Leaves If there is one feature that continues stealing the spotlight, it's those incredible fan leaves. They're still enormous. Wide, elegant and working around the clock as natural solar panels, capturing every available photon and converting it into energy for flower production. This week I also noticed some of the older lower leaves becoming a lighter shade of green. I'm not concerned. During the transition into flowering it's common for vigorous plants to increase their nutrient demand while redirecting energy toward rapid growth and bud formation. Rather than chasing perfection, I prefer listening carefully to what the plant is telling me. We'll continue monitoring her closely, making small adjustments only when they're truly needed. Healthy growing is about observation, not overreaction. And overall... This beautiful lady still looks full of life and determination. ⸻ 🌱 AutoPot Doing Its Job Chem Brûlée Pheno A continues thriving in the AutoPot system. By allowing the plant to decide when she drinks, the root zone remains consistently supplied without the repeated wet-and-dry cycles of traditional watering. One of the things I appreciate most about this system is how quietly it does its work. There's no timer deciding when the plant should eat. The plant makes that decision herself. As her flowers continue developing and daily water consumption increases, the AutoPot will simply keep following her rhythm. It's a partnership more than a watering system. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week This week's nutrient program continued supporting the transition deeper into flowering while maintaining enough nutrition for the final stages of the stretch. The feeding schedule included: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjustments using Lemon Kick when required The focus now shifts gradually away from vegetative growth and toward flower production. As always, changes are made carefully and based on the plant's response rather than following a fixed calendar. Every phenotype speaks a slightly different language. Learning to understand that language is one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week, providing ideal conditions for continued flower development. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Nutrient solution: 22°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm With the stretch beginning to slow, humidity has started coming down compared to earlier weeks. Lower humidity encourages healthy flower development while maintaining excellent transpiration and reducing future risks as the buds become denser. A stable environment allows the plants to focus their energy where we want it most—building flowers. ⸻ 📸 Watching the Story Unfold This week's photographs capture a plant that is quietly entering a new chapter. The towering fan leaves still dominate the canopy, but now they're sharing the stage with dozens of fresh flower sites emerging from every branch. Looking back through previous weeks makes the transformation even more impressive. What started as a young seedling has become a strong, elegant plant preparing for the busiest weeks of her life. That's exactly why I enjoy documenting every stage. These photos aren't just memories. They're milestones. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowers to become noticeably larger as more pistils emerge and the first signs of stacking begin. The stretch should gradually come to an end, allowing the plant to invest more and more energy into flower production. We'll continue watching the lighter lower leaves, making gentle adjustments if necessary while allowing the rest of the plant to keep doing what she's already doing so well. Sometimes the healthiest gardens aren't the ones where we intervene the most. They're the ones where we learn when to simply observe. Chem Brûlée Pheno A seems determined to remind me of exactly that. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these incredible plants grow, I'm truly grateful to have you along for the journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge, experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Zamnesia for providing the beautiful genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting throughout the entire cycle. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally... Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and even those who challenge me to keep improving. Every interaction helps make these diaries far more meaningful than they would ever be on their own. I'll see you all next week, where Chem Brûlée Pheno A will continue turning those giant leaves into the energy needed to build what already promises to be something very special. Until then... Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🍮💚

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year. 6/23 WATERED EVERYTHING. USED FIVE AND A HALF GALLONS. EVERYTHING GOT AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. Despite the rain we got and the bags still having some heft I decided to water. It's 80 at 9am. It's supposed to he in the upper 90's today and coukd break 100° tomorrow. I hate that the grow bags are black. That's way to hot for the plants. I should find some empty soil bags and wrap the black fabric for a couple days. A sunscreen might help but I doubt much. We'll see how it goes. 6/24 It's 90° at 9am. It's supposed to break 100° amd stay there a while. Up to 106°. Plants looked awesome this morning. I wasn't sure what I'd find. Today is the worst of the days. If it didn't break 100 yesterday it was damn close all day and the girls look GREAT. I WATERED AGAIN TODAY. I USED EITHER 5.5 OR 6.5 GALLONS TO WATER THE GARDEN. It was nice cool well water too so they should like that. Branches are getting longer and I'm training as the get bigger. I need to put up the trellis but I'm not doing it in this heat.

03.14.23. Watered the plant with nutrients for the first time. I always wait till the second week to add nutrients. 03.18.23. Plants were ready for another water. This time I watered them 1 gallon per plant. Having the Coco in my pots the medium can handle 1 gallon without over watering the plant. I gave the plants their second dose of nutrients. MID WEEK REVIEW: Plants are looking healthy and are on there second nodes. Will start Low Stress Training (LST) next week. Thanks for tuning in to my grow diary see you Tuesday for end of week review. 03.21.23 END WEEK REVIEW: All 3 plants are growing very fast and are all looking great. I finally gave them all names so it’s easier to tell them apart as they grow and get moved around. Starting LST Tomorrow. Thanks for watching my plants grow. Happy growing everyone

Esa familiaaa, vamooos que estoy de vuelta y es que me flipa que para ser autos estás misty gorilla de Zambezaseeds se están poniendo jugosas, puede que a final las llegue a sacar al exterior para que maduren del todo o quien sabe las aguanto hasta el final ahí dentro. Sigo regulando el ph ,la humedad está en torno al 45% La temperatura oscila los 27 grados. No me quejo pa ser autos están deputamadre , buenos humos fumetillas.

WHAT A HARVEST!!! My largest ever to date. After drying and curing the final weight is ~10.5 ounces of total flower and an additional 2 ounces of golden keif made from dry ice and bubble bags. I am SO STOKED right now. Thanks for checking out my grow diary. I will be back next season to continue to improve my technique.

🌿Week 4: Defoliation & SCROG Setup Week 4 was all about structure and airflow. The canopy was getting bushy fast, with a ton of inner growth, so we went in for a solid defoliation session across the board. Lower fans, overlapping leaves, and shaded internodes were cleaned up to let light penetrate deeper into the canopy and reduce potential humidity traps. Right after that, we finally dropped the SCROG net, stretched out gently across the canopy to guide the branches horizontally and prep for flower stacking. Some of these phenos are already reaching for the sky, so the timing felt just right. Captured a full-time-lapse clip of the defoliation + netting process. It’s super satisfying watching the chaos turn into clean lines. Nature meets intention. Feed Bloom since 20/6 22/6 Defoliation 🌱 Plant Response: After defol, they bounced back fast. Tops are perky, leaves are praying, and stretch is continuing in a controlled way. The structure’s more open now — better airflow, better light distribution, better everything.

Nice flowering stretch time to see some buds soon i guess. It has stretched nicely i guess during the flowering period. I have upgraded the tent size to 1m x 1m x 2m and seems to be better air flow and humidity levels. Also changed the hygrometer to a AirComfort bluetooth wireless monitor which gives great detailed information on temps and humidity as per picture added. Finally pistils have developed cant wait to see bud sites.

Great week of growth, been doing a lot of LST. Spreading her out and tying it down! Roots are really growing. Pinching leaves as they get too big and block light.
