- Third week Came back from my trip and she really shot up PH was down (around 5.5) so she absorbed a good amount of nutrients while I was away Changed reservoir with a dosage of Base A- Base B- Vege- Silica- using 1.0 ML per Liter Roots are nice but I'm starting to think she might have some sort of rot going on, going to introduce Peroxide in the water to help her out No sexing yet, I'm assuming she's a female (hopefully) Did some small LST in order for the bottom line to grow a little bit

Day 42, let's talk about it. I moved the plants around to utilize the light better. We have the best of both worlds in this tent. The monster throwing buds all over the end of the tent VS the small stacked up pheno at the other end, and a perfect mix in the middle. The small pheno is super hungry, all the time, but buds are stacking up regardless of what looks to be a CalMag deficiency. I took a few more leaves off the center plant to open it up more. Added a little Stash Blend for good measure.I also turned the light intensity to 9 afterwards I measured average PPFD to be around 700 across the canopy.

The purple lemonade is flowering nicely the buds are showing purple already and the gorilla cookies auto is flowering it has very tight node spacing which will mean bigger and fatter buds my tent is smelling great at the moment it will intensify as they grow

🌱 Grow Diary – Week 11 Veg Week 11 of veg, and the plant is finally settling into a steady rhythm again. After last week’s defoliation and topping, she’s been taking her time to bounce back, and this week you can see clear signs of recovery. Growth is coming back with energy, not explosive, but steady and healthy. Right now, there are eight new apex sites forming nicely. I’m considering topping again, but that’s still undecided—I’d rather let her keep pushing forward for a while before making that call. For now, she’s cruising. The main focus this week is on stability. pH has been kept between 5.9 and 6, and that seems to be working well. Temperatures are holding steady at 22–23°C, with relative humidity around 70%. These conditions feel just right for recovery and steady growth heading into autumn. On the branch I taped after it cracked during training, the healing seems to be going fine. I haven’t fully checked under the tape yet, but from the look of things, it should be on track, and I’ll likely remove it next week. It’s a bit frustrating that we lost some valuable time in the early stages, but over the past few weeks the plant has definitely been getting back on track. The color looks healthy, growth is steady, and overall she’s moving in the right direction again. So, Week 11 is about patience, observation, and keeping everything dialed in. No big changes, just letting her recover and stack energy for what’s next.

Performed some light lst and topped all plants, then feed some recharge. They bounced back pretty fast they didn’t show no signs of stress so that’s a good thing. I’m give them one more week in the 1 gallons and then transplant to 3 gallon Keep up this grow is epic

I defoliated bottom leaves, the tent has really gone jungle style now. Kicked on the extra LEDs for bloom only and the center LED is running both VEG and BLOOM lights. The two auto dark purple plants show a few leaves canoeing. Maybe too much nitrogen from trying to keep the PPM levels up. Flushed with sledgehammer.

Hallo zusammen 🤙.

My first grow. It's been a long time coming. This grow is 4 plants, 4 strains in a 90x90x200 with a 440w LED. Bruce Banner #3 Gorilla Zskittles Amnesia Haze Blue Gelato 41 The Banner and Skittles broke the soil successfully this week but unfortunately the Amnesia and Gelato didn't cut the mustard. Successfully germinated on second attempt however this means they are a little behind the the other 2 for now. I have the light dimmed to around 20% as the ladies were showing signs of having too much light, a slight yellowing to the ends of the leaves on the Skittles? This was with the light at around 50%. Will ramp this up slowly over the next couple of week once the other 2 break soil. UPDATE The Blue Gelato and the Amnesia Haze broke the soil a couple of days ago so they shouldn't be massively behind the other 2. Looking forward to seeing these ladies grow!

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. Had a big harvest last week so I didn't do a report... just wanted to finish and get out of trim jail. All the plants got a venue change. I moved them from the back to the front of this greenhouse This plant is doing good and growing well. It's 29*c in here today, but there's a cooler week forecasted. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

I could let them sit in the pot for 1 more week, but I really need my weed. 100% cloudy but no amber

Esta semana fue genial las plantas crecieron todas muy parejas..teniendo por ahora mucha homogeneidad en el tamaño y forma de las plantas

Inizio fioritura

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 5 | Every Plant Has Its Own Clock Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I love most about running multiple phenotypes side by side is that they constantly remind me that plants don’t read our schedules—they write their own. This project follows several phenotypes from the same seed line, all grown under identical environmental conditions using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than deciding when flowering begins by changing the light cycle, every plant receives 12 hours of light from the day she germinates, allowing each individual to determine when she’s biologically ready to begin reproduction. Cash Express Pheno B has reached that exciting milestone. While she took a little longer than her sister to get there, this week she officially earned her place in Flower Week 1. Different pace. Same destination. ⸻ 🌼 Welcome to Flower Week One This week brought the first unmistakable signs that vegetative growth is now giving way to flowering. Fresh white pistils are beginning to emerge from the developing tops, signalling that this beautiful lady has officially entered her reproductive stage. Those tiny white hairs are the first building blocks of what will eventually become dense, resin-covered flowers. Although the transition is still in its early days, it’s amazing how quickly the plant changes once she makes that decision. Stretch has begun. The internodes are opening slightly. New growth is becoming more focused around future bud sites. The adventure has truly entered a new chapter. ⸻ 🌱 Hand Feeding Every Step of the Way Unlike her sister, this phenotype is not growing on the AutoPot system. She continues to be hand-fed, allowing me complete control over each irrigation and giving me the opportunity to monitor her response closely throughout this important transition. Each watering becomes another chance to observe the plant, inspect leaf posture, evaluate the substrate, and adjust nutrition only when necessary. It’s a slower approach than automation, but one that provides a very personal connection with the plant. Sometimes it’s nice letting technology do the work. Sometimes it’s equally rewarding getting your hands dirty. This lady definitely belongs in the second category. ⸻ 🍽️ Nutrition This week’s feeding schedule included: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Alongside the standard pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. As flowering begins, the nutrition program gradually shifts from supporting vegetative growth toward encouraging flower initiation while still providing enough nitrogen to support the ongoing stretch. The balance during these first weeks is incredibly important. Too much bloom nutrition too early can slow development. Too little can delay flower formation. This stage is all about finding that sweet spot. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The environment remained stable throughout the week. • Day temperature averaged 31.1°C • Night temperature settled around 25°C • Relative humidity averaged 72% • Nutrient solution remained close to 24.2°C • Root zone stayed near 21°C • Atmospheric CO₂ averaged 639 ppm Humidity is intentionally kept a little higher during this early flowering transition. At this stage the plants are still stretching rapidly, producing large amounts of fresh foliage and demanding plenty of water movement throughout the canopy. As flowers continue developing over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create ideal conditions for dense, healthy bud formation. ⸻ 📸 Studio Time This week I decided to give Pheno B her own little modelling session. The studio photographs from every angle—including bird’s-eye views, side profiles, and even under-canopy shots—allow us to document her architecture in detail before flowering really transforms her. These photographs are much more than pretty pictures. They’re a visual timeline. Months from now we’ll be able to compare structure, node spacing, flower development and canopy evolution from the very beginning all the way to harvest. It’s one of my favourite parts of keeping these diaries. Every photograph captures a moment that will never exist again. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should bring a noticeable acceleration in flower development. I expect the pistils to multiply rapidly while the initial stretch continues, creating more defined bud sites throughout the canopy. We’ll also continue monitoring her structure as flowering progresses, making only gentle adjustments if needed to maintain airflow and light penetration. For now, patience is the best training technique. Sometimes the hardest job a grower has… …is simply allowing the plant to do what she already knows how to do. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey. Whether you’re here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy watching these ladies grow, I’m truly grateful that you’re part of this adventure. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for creating a place where growers from all over the world can share knowledge, successes and even mistakes. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition program supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering consistent, high-quality lighting throughout the entire flowering room. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment day and night. And finally… Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, silent reader, critic, and friend who joins me on this journey. Your encouragement and conversations are what make these diaries so enjoyable to create. I’ll see you all next week, where Cash Express Pheno B will continue settling into flower and, little by little, reveal the unique personality hidden inside her genetics. Until then… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone. 🌱🚂💚

Well this was a really straight forward grow, very very pleased with the outcome and the bud isn’t completely cured 😋 5 Gal fabric pot with BioBizz light mix, some light consistent feeding, a FIM and basic LST, look at the outcome! No wonder their strain wins awards! I will 100% be growing more NL! Thank you RQS ✌️🙌👌🙏

Changed water this week ...New carbon filter is keeping temps with light on below 79F staying within 75-79F,,,,,Tent isn't ballooning anymore..Have negative pressure..Gonna get ready to Harvest next week..Gonna Flush for a week...Will update on harvest...gonna try few different things on next grow love growing and learning...Thanks everyone for help if you see anything might be wrong in pictures please comment always trying fix issues and learn and thanks to everyone who commented on leaf problems ....hopefully next grow will get it resolved or try eliminate things that might be causing it....

Buds getting finaly bigger... The Color is just amazing! Two little videos. Gave her a little tent cuz it’s getting way too cold now
