🍮 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. 🌱🍮💚

Gran genética del banco Royal Queen seeds, con un alto porcentaje de cbd, gran aroma y sabor sin practicamente efectos psicoactivos y alto valor terapéutico. El cultivo ha sido algo complicado teniendo en cuenta que es la primera vez que cultivamos variedades de cbd pero finalmente ha llevado un buen ciclo y demostrado todo su potencial. Cosechada en la décima semana desde su germinación. Totalmente recomendable.

En esta nueva semana, he subido la dosis de Bio-Grow 1ml/l más, la planta en sí a desarrollado un tronco grueso con multitud de ramas, el crecimiento está siendo bastante rápido y no está creando demasiadas hojas. En 1 o 2 semanas como mucho, esta Gelato empezará a tirar pistilos, lo que nos anuncia que pronto podremos catarla jajaja. Dulces fumadas maquinas.💀.

Se preparo una solucion de Mills Start R: - PPM : 100 -pH : 5.8 Se submergio cubos de roca de lana dentro de la soulcion. Cada semilla que se germinara se paso a un cubo de roca de lana y se mantuvo sin luz. Cuando las plantulas salian del cubo, se pasaron a otra bandeja de germinacion con domo de humedad bajo una luz T5.

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. I have removed all LST equipment from both PPP1 and PPP2. I'm going to let them grow up now, and I plant to implement a Scrog net, if they get any taller, which I hope they will. However they are most likely finished with their final stretch. My mistake, I went too hard on the LST. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

*****Week 15 growth – March 13 to 19, 2021 – Week 6 flower ****** Feeding has ended this week and we are in flush mode now. The girls have just started to slow down their drinking and pistols are changing colour, buds are swelling, they are getting ready to finish. Added the UV and IR light bars in this week. Started the week with just one bar and then both in place by end of week. Each bar has 10 x 730nm, 10 x 395nm, 6 x 660nm pulling 30 watts each. Trichome enhancers!! Working with the new light this run I have certainly pushed them with more light intensity than they should have received, broke 1100 PAR for a bit. This has also started to cause some foxtails to begin rather than staying compact and swelling the buds. Know for next time……always changes to make 😊 Little more detail….. Mar 13/21, Day 36 - Feed day with full line of Innovating Plant Products but at ¾ strength. - Keeping up the feeding but thinking about nitrogen levels and working on reducing. - feeding with grow – 0.5, micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 0.75, B Storm – 2, S Storm – 3, Terp – 3, Jet Fuel – 1.5, Rezin 1 - 1300ppm and 6.2pH - 4L - Added in the first UV bar today Mar 14/21, Day 37 - Seeing lots of swelling these days from the girls. - Microbe feeding today…….possibly last round of microbes. - Plain tap water with Recharge @ ½ tsp/gal and Natures Candy @ 1.5ml - 400ppm and 6.1pH - 3L all around today…..very little run off. Mar 15/21, Day 38 - Another feed day today. Last week of feed so pushing them a little more. No Grow added! Last couple of feeds with CalMag as well, seeing some magnesium issues so giving last dose. - feeding with micro – 1.5, bloom – 2.5, ult B – 0.5, carbs – 1, B Storm – 2.5, S Storm – 3, Terp – 3, Jet Fuel – 1.5, MagNifiCal – 1.5ml - 1175ppm and 6.0pH - 4L - Mar 16/21, Day 39 - Just giving the basic building blocks at this stage. Most of the supplements not added this feeding. - feeding with Grow – 0.5, micro – 1.5, bloom – 2, carbs – 1, Rezin – 1.5ml, MagNifiCal – 0.5ml - 875ppm and 6.0pH - 4L Mar 17/21, Day 40 - Last Feed Day……calling it at day 40 this run!!!!! - 4L of feed water left from yesterday so added in 12L of RO water to keep the ppm down. - Left over plus Rezin @ 2ml, Overdrive @ 2ml (its hard to let go of your routines…I have been using Overdrive for so long……it feels wrong to not be using it this run….snuck in a couple ml😊) - 485ppm and 6.0pH - 4L - Light power pushed back up to 525 watts……..keeping the intensity up to hit the lower bud sites….will see what happens to the uppers. Mar 18/21, Day 41 - Starting flush but not hitting the pots with 12 gallons of water each type of flush! Will just drop the ppm down to nothing and use RO water……planning on having close to 3 weeks to flush….second guessing that I really have that long though so may actually end up adding a flushing agent to the girls…..decide in the next 4 days so can leave plain water time if I do. - Watering with Enzymes @ 2ml…….clean up the roots and help them get more of the ppm out of the media. - 100ppm and 5.9pH……..missed the pH but not adding both up and down, ran with this. - 4L - Light power pulled back down 480 watts Mar 19/21, Day 42 - Dry out day today. Will be letting the pots get dryer now before adding more moisture. - Leaving them for today though. Give flushing agent in next 2 days if going to. - Work down the light intensity more in next couple of days as well. - UV lights going now for 3 hours per day on both fixtures at the middle of the light schedule.

2024-05-15 No big thing to report, The Planties doing well, established in the new Pot- I placed them in the youngsters room, so they will get stronger light, and gettting more solid structure. BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Hello Diary, The first week of flowering is behind me and as you can see in the photos, the Medusas are developing very quickly. The flowers have formed and now the flowering begins. Trichomes appeared around the flowers on the leaves, which is a great sign for this stage of the plant. What you can see is that the plants differ slightly in structure, one is taller with fewer leaves and a more sprawling structure, while the other is more of a bush shape with lots of leaves. In the description of this strain, they should be equal in structure, which is not the case, at least for me. I removed the humidifier so that the humidity in the air dropped to about 50% and the temperature rose to about 24 degrees. Watering has become a little more frequent, which is to be expected given the size of the plants. Here's what it looked like last week. 18/02/2023 - Day 25. Watering. I prepared 5 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and watered both plants with that amount. 21/02/2023 - Day 28. Photographing and height measurement. Medusa F1 #1 - 47 cm Medusa F1 #2 - 40 cm That's all for this week, see you soon and thank you all for your support.
