🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 5 | Full Steam Ahead One of the most rewarding parts of documenting an entire phenotype hunt is watching every individual plant write its own story. Even though this lady shares the same room as several of her sisters, she’s following her own timeline with complete confidence. Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, this project follows multiple phenotypes under identical environmental conditions using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of forcing flowering by changing the light schedule, every plant receives 12 hours of light from the day she germinates, allowing each phenotype to decide for itself when it’s ready to reproduce. Cash Express Pheno A has made her decision. There are no doubts anymore… Flowering has officially begun. ⸻ 🌼 The First Flowers This week the plant truly announced the beginning of her reproductive stage. Fresh white pistils are now appearing across every growing tip, marking the first real flower sites. Those tiny white hairs are far more than just pretty decorations. Each pistil is part of the female flower and serves as the structure that would naturally receive pollen in nature. In an indoor sinsemilla grow, however, they become the foundation for the beautiful resin-covered buds we’re all hoping to harvest later. It’s always one of my favourite moments in a grow. The transition from “plant” to “flowering plant” has officially started. Although she’s still compact, every day now brings noticeable changes as the flowering sites become more defined. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Life Like her Blueberry Muffin sister growing beside her, this phenotype has now fully transitioned onto the AutoPot irrigation system. Instead of watering from the top every day, the plants now feed themselves whenever they need moisture. At the heart of the system is the AquaValve. This clever little mechanical valve keeps a shallow reservoir inside each tray, automatically opening and closing as the plant drinks. Once the tray is empty, fresh nutrient solution flows in again, creating a continuous wet-and-dry cycle without electricity or timers at each pot. It allows the roots to decide when to feed rather than relying on my watering schedule. So far… She’s absolutely loving it. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding & A Small Observation This week’s reservoir was prepared using: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The reservoir remains intentionally simple for AutoPot use, allowing the solution to stay stable while circulating continuously. During this week’s inspections I also noticed something worth documenting. Several older fan leaves are beginning to show a gentle loss of colour. Nothing dramatic. No burnt tips. No rapid deterioration. Just a subtle lightening that suggests she’s beginning to ask for slightly more nutrition as flowering accelerates. Rather than immediately assuming a deficiency, I prefer making small adjustments and watching how the plant responds. For that reason I increased the EC slightly this week. Now the plant gets the opportunity to tell me whether that adjustment is enough. Growing is often less about reacting quickly… …and more about listening carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Environment The flowering room continues operating under stable conditions. • Day temperature averaged 31.1°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Solution temperature stayed near 21.6°C • Root zone remained approximately 21°C • Relative humidity averaged 72% • Atmospheric CO₂ measured roughly 639 ppm The humidity may appear a little high, but at this early flowering stage I’m still comfortable maintaining these levels while the plants continue stretching and building new flower sites. As flowering progresses and the buds begin gaining density, humidity will gradually come down to create an even safer environment for resin production and flower development. Everything follows the plan. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s gallery tells a very exciting story. The close-up photographs capture the explosion of fresh white pistils appearing from nearly every node, confirming that flowering is now fully underway. The side profiles show a compact but extremely healthy structure, while the overhead shots reveal an even canopy that should make excellent use of the flowering light over the coming weeks. Some of the photographs also document the slight paling of a few fan leaves. Rather than hiding these moments, I like including them because they remind us that plants constantly communicate. Sometimes they’re simply asking for a little more. Learning to recognise those conversations is part of becoming a better grower. (And yes… eagle-eyed viewers may notice the photo label accidentally says crash instead of cash. That’s entirely my mistake and will be corrected in the next update. Even diaries have typos sometimes! 😄) ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be one of the most exciting stages yet. I expect the flowering sites to begin stacking more aggressively as the stretch continues. We’ll also be watching closely to see how the increased EC influences the slight leaf discoloration. If the colour stabilises, we’ll know the adjustment was enough. If not, the plant will simply tell us she needs a little more. Either way… She’ll write the next chapter, and I’ll keep listening. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey.

The 2nd week was great for the plants. Specially Banana Purple Punch and Forbidden Runtz They stretched and grow without no problem. I'm excited for week 3. I LST them, I did some defoliation and they got fed with Goldleaf feterlizer and I added mycos chum and cal-mag to the mix. Let see how they do.

Week 8 – Stabilization & Transition to Flowering 🌸 This week marked a real turning point: after last week’s heavy intervention, the plant finally regained its balance and clearly showed that it was ready to move forward again. No stress signs, no abnormalities — everything is back to normal. The substrate reset did exactly what it needed to. ⸻ 💧 Light Watering – Pure Water pH 6.2 To let the root zone fully stabilize, you chose the best possible approach: ✔️ only pH-adjusted water at 6.2 ✔️ no nutrients added This allowed the plant to: • maintain a stable root environment • avoid any risk of a new salt buildup • use the remaining nutrients in the substrate • recover natural and progressive nutrient uptake The behavior of the substrate and the post-flush reaction confirm that balance has been fully restored. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Status – Everything Is OK The signals are very positive: ✔️ leaves opening nicely ✔️ naturally strong posture ✔️ healthy, uniform color ✔️ growth reactivated smoothly The plant is operating at full metabolic capacity with no remaining stress. It was clearly ready for the next step. ⸻ 🌸 Switch to Flowering – Smooth Transition With a stable, balanced, and vigorous plant, the transition was made with confidence: 👉 Official switch to 12/12 this week. Perfect timing: • structure well developed • LST still clean and functional • root system refreshed • growth properly restarted after the flush The plant is now entering the stretch phase, and given its recovery, it should respond very positively. ⸻ 🔮 Next Steps In the coming days: • keep watering lightly • reintroduce nutrients gradually at the next watering • watch for the first pistils • let the stretch unfold naturally Flowering is starting on a clean, healthy foundation — exactly what you want for strong bud development. ⸻ ✅ Conclusion – Calm Week, Successful Transition After a difficult Week 7 but a perfectly executed rescue, Week 8 shows that everything is back under control: • the plant is 100% recovered • no signs of stress • watering with pH 6.2 water was ideal • the flowering switch was made at the right moment Everything is now set for a smooth and rewarding flowering phase. 🌱✨

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

I grow in pure coco with organic nutrients

Und wieder eine Woche zu verbuchen in der alles Glatt läuft. Naja außer mein neuer GGS von Spider Farmer, der zwar funktioniert aber WLAN und Bluetooth findet mein Mobiltelefon nicht. Naja der Support macht sich schon Gedanken darum, schon seit einer Woche denke die drüber nach aber sie kommen nicht aus dem Schlumpf. 44. Tag - Beide Damen bekommen jeweils 1,5L Wasser mit 5ml Bio Tabs PK 5-8 pro Liter (PH 6,37), außerdem wird noch etwas entlaubt und das LST etwas korrigiert. Das betrifft aber mehr die Genetic von Seed Supplier die extrem Buschig ist. 46. Tag - Heute bekommt die Fast Buds 2L Wasser und die Seed Supplier 1L Wasser mit Nematoden (PH 6,36). 47. Tag - Die Seed Supplier wird heute nochmal etwas weiter entlaubt. 48. Tag - Es bekommen beide 2L Wasser mit 0,3ml pro Liter CalMag. (PH 6,42). Wochen Fazit: Beide Pflanzen performen sehr gut. Die von Fast Buds ist wesentlich schneller, sie ist jetzt schon am Ende der 2 Woche wobei die von Seed Supplier erst vor ein paar Tagen ihren Stretch begonnen hat. Die von Seed Supplier überrascht mich, am Anfang noch etwas hinterher doch sie holt gerade heftig auf. Di Fast Buds ist ca. 67cm hoch und die Seed Supplier nur 37cm, aber einen deutlich schöneren wuchs.

There are some things that still amaze me, one of these is the huge autoflowering that I can do lately. Today I harvested the second Green Crack F1 Hybrid Automatic by Zamnesia. ** Remember that for all strains we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques (go back in the week too see). Technique Used // In this case we let the plant grow straight and it seems to have worked great. I think thanks to the Plagron additives we had powerful and fast growth very voracious in everything in fact it was very difficult to keep it in balance and not send it into over. Better with the techniques or normal? This time I have no doubts, even if this wonderful one had the grace of a slightly less cold vegetative there is no comparison it is a marvel of nature queata without the use of techniques but with a wise cleaning at the bottom to have only flowers of great quality. Zero popcorn totally. Flower quality // The plant has resined very well everywhere and unlike some autoflowering plants that fail to consolidate the flower here we have pure Carrara marble. A flower of this quality is truly a pleasure to see, touch, smell, feel. Exceptional. The trichomes are mostly milky, some transparent and some amber. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-coltivare-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Feertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going flush was fed a few days only with additives and then went flush and we are discolored sufficiency. All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green version / 100% organic have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the site www.plagron.com You can instead find the fertilizers in convenient all-inclusive packs on the Zamnesia site.

Buenas gente! Esta semana se nota tremendamente el engorde de los calices, y algunos comienzan a cerrar de a poco! Una maravilla en cuanto a terpenos!! Tuve el honor de cortar unas flores para analizar en la expocannabis uruguay, les dejo un video con esa info de una de los 4 fenos. Empezamos a lavarr, primer uso del flawless asi que nos ponemos con el lavaditooo!! Venimos bien de bien. Saludos Jardin33ro 🇺🇾

I cant even describe the smell 10/10 The buds are the most potent i ever smoked. Very strong weed with the best euphoric feeling u can imagine. Harvested 9 weeks after the 12/12 flip. The taste is also amazing, fruity smoke that goes in easy like air but it hits hard and very hard a few minutes later. Im proud to be one of the first to grow this legendary strain. Bra fcking vo Humboldt. Grts from Europe.

The breeder says day 45 is the day for harvesting.. when I reached that day I started looking closely the trichomes to see when best day to harvest.. usually I wait till more less 10%amber.. however I found a bud rot in one of the other plant on my tent so I decided to chop it down on same day afraid of spreading it to Apple blossom. If that had not happened I would wait maybe 2-3 days more.

It seems that the girl is counting her last days, some of the trichomes are already showing an amber color, the buds look simply fantastic, it's a pity that I can't transfer that image with my phone - share that image with you, you need to see it live :) good luck to everyone:)

Sie hat mega aufgeholt und zeigt jetzt wie sie abgehen kann. Schöne dunkle Blätter und keinerlei Stress Anzeichen.

Flower stretch and bud sites are setting. Lots of tops from the lst. Fingers crossed.

March, 30th One Plant was ready, and was Harvested today She smells like fruit Bubblegum. Buds are smaller but very solid The other Plants still flowering, and smelling very much and quite deilicious They are drinking like Barmaids, around one LLiter per Day Feeding every other Day. And Buds are swelling more and more each Day. Its a big Fun to open the Tent UPDATE The Harvested Buds are shiny like diamonds,,, gittering allover, nice dense Buds

Hi guys Within 48 hours all 3 broke the soil, just waiting on the blackberry moonrock to make a appearance. Not much to say at the moment but ill keep you updated on the blackberry moonrock from tastebud genetics. Happy growing gang 💚💪👌 Hey guys so the blackberry moonrock from tastebuds has decided to pop out the soil today 😀 so 4 out of 4 the freebie was a late starter lol. Its ment to be a 33% thc indica so hopefully i can hit the high 20z. Happy growing guys 💚👌

Now it’s our POST PANDEMIC VIRGO SEASON & as Spring and ‘Fiestas Patrias’ are coming here homies!!! Have Big Gas Puff on my Behalf! 👽 Declaring on September the First, Im Setting officialy the photopheriod as 20/04 hours resting too, they start in midnight as they will help to provide an ideal temperature at night, and thats the reason why stick with covering most of the day yet respecting some time off the grid, as for both mary jane plant processes like foliar feeding or the transplant depicted below and electronics used requires a bit of resting as lifespam testing and recomendations tend to stick on ‘calm your tits homie’ even on autoflowering scenarios, last consideration is the electricity bill as can become bothersome in some countries too. Moving on plant growth , I personally consider up to this date , a healthy growth even when i changed the substrate it has quite a possitive impact and that’s on having a number of survivors above the mínimum of plants i want to be spread each on 11 lt of ’ Organic Life Light Mix’ for the most oustanding Killer Kush FV, by using the growth vigor & not stressed AF criteria , as it’s always good to do backups in case i had a strong damping-off or like a bad germination scenario. Notice the quirk of ‘Pot on Pot’ made the transplant a bit easier, and how can make some small upgrades if added in your grow , if its on your market and fits your style as well. Regarding to feeding, new transplant soil was watered with Hesi boost, Top candy and BAC Calmag’s 2.0 (I chose this Brand specifically as it present other useful micronutrients on its composition ), as they first ones show to have quite a stimulant and refreshing effect on the babies, considering the size of more than decent root samples took before being moved on their final containers. This experience also introduced me the carencies i must attend usually on these type of soils, who also i do consider that being this deal of too light substrate, is a deal of a trade off too , like, im saying this this Organic Life Light Mix it’s not a bad product at all but consider is way more needy unlike traditional soils or even fuck, this shit is more airy than other light soils compositions hhahah, so, final words here, like at the same time the speed gained plus not a total damping off on germination phase & good interaction with fertilizers i use as plant interaction shows quite a good evolution, specially being keen on carencies and disbalances are faster to present and faster to attend , it requires more handling specially on feeding like all shit that is making this grow go at super fast speed , as i took some pics of root mass and it’s development shows it’s quite advanced yet on the optimal point to transplant. PS: I will stay with the non finalists , the more pansy Killer Kush aren’t totally discarded as the point of having backups to have a better coverage regarding to uncertainity of germination and the fact that still fuck up things and shit my pants in the near future, as usual, im a shitty grower if not noticed ! 😂😂😂. HAVE A BIG DICK ENERGY SEPTEMBER MFS !!! // i'm uploading the photos asap as possible :P

I hung the full plant upside down for 24hrs. I then hung the individual branches. I left the branches big and I didn’t trim the buds as I wanted to dry slowly. They hung in the dark room with temperature at 21 degrees and humidity at 58% for a week. I then removed the buds from the branches and placed them in a drying net for another few day before jarring. Smell isfantastic.
